Soccer Super Marksman

Cui Zhen came to Ajax with the team this time with emotion, because Ajax's main lineup includes his two brothers, Bu Leshan, from the Huaxia Youth Team.

After the pre-match training, Cui Zhen was interviewed by the Dutch media.

When Cui Zhen was being interviewed, the blond and blue-eyed reporter asked with a smile, "Mr. Cui Zhen, today I will meet your teammates from the Huaxia Youth Team. Are you in a complicated mood?"

Cui Zhen nodded and said: "There are some. I fought alongside them in the Huaxia Youth Team and won the World Youth Championship. Although they appear as opponents now, they can appear in Ajax's main lineup. I'm so happy for them, it shows they've improved and grown tremendously."

"Would you play for Ajax if given the chance?"

"Maybe one day in the future, something like this will happen, anything is possible."

After finishing the brief interview, Cui Zhen took the initiative to walk outside the training field and patiently signed autographs for the fans.

Going back to the hotel and lying on the bed, Cui Zhen was still in a bad mood. Lingard was playing video games. He saw Cui Zhen lying on the bed tossing and turning, with an expression that I understand you, and patted Cui Zhen on the shoulder. It goes without saying.

Cui Zhen, who was full of thoughts, went to take a shower and then fell asleep.

The second round of the Champions League group stage is coming.

Under the night, the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium was full of seats, and the atmosphere inside the stadium was hot.

Cui Zhen, who walked out of the player's locker room, felt very strange the first time he came to the stadium, because he had never entered the visiting team's locker room of this stadium.

In the player channel, he first saw Bu Leshan, a teammate of the youth team. He took the initiative to walk up to Bu Leshan and greeted him with a one-handed hug, including Lei Heyang. The three good brothers hugged each other tightly.

Lei Heyang said to him solemnly: "Be careful today, you will make the Ajax people unhappy, and be careful that you can't get out of Amsterdam."

Cui Zhen laughed it off when he heard the words, and after hugging Lei Heyang, he returned to the Manchester United team.

Cui Zhen stood in the stadium with his head held high, and the emcee introduced the starting players of both sides. "The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the new season is about to start. Ajax is at home against the Premier League giants Manchester United. The two teams are really destined. In the past four years, there is only one season where the two teams have not met. In the previous confrontation. Ajax Kex has a clear advantage and once kept Manchester United out of the quarter-finals in the second stage of the Champions League group stage.

The previous season eliminated Manchester United in the 1/8 finals. Although the two teams met again this season, it was indeed not as intense as the previous encounter because of the group stage. The situation in this group is relatively clear. Ajax and Manchester United is the favorite to qualify, Thun and Sparta Prague are obviously less competitive. Ajax was tied by Sparta Prague in the last round. The result is not too bad. If they can remain unbeaten at home, Ajax still have a chance to compete for the top spot in the group.

Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.

Ajax started 433.

Goalkeeper: Onana.

Defenders: Feltman, Phil Hoffer, Tagliafico, Buleshan.

Midfield: Van de Beek, Schoen, Sim de Jong.

Forwards: Lei Heyang, Huntelaar, Ziyech.

Manchester United started 451.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Smalling, Bailly, Luke Shaw, Damian.

Midfielders: Pogba, Fellaini, Lingard, Cui Zhen, Herrera.

Forward: Lukaku.

Well, the game is about to start, and Ajax will take the lead in kicking off. "

After all, Ajax is still the Ajax who insists on 433 forever. Even if they face stronger opponents than them, they will still not waver. It is their persistence in offensive football that makes Ajax special.

As soon as the game started, Ajax immediately launched a threatening offensive.

Van de Beek is the midfield commander of Ajax. He passes the football quickly and accurately. Forward Ziyech is like a side midfielder in the frontcourt, similar to Herrera's role in Manchester United's wing.

At the beginning of the game, Ziyech used his skillful feet to make Smalling suffer a big loss. After Smalling was deftly wiped by Ziyech, Ziyech did not make a cross or continue to break into the penalty area. Unexpectedly, he passed back the inverted triangle, and Sim de Jong, who followed up, waded the ball into the penalty area and then made a pass under Lingard's flustered and correct situation.

Huntelaar moved sensitively to find an opportunity to shoot, and Damian made a final effort to block it with a horizontal shovel. The football hit his calf and was refracted and flew into the stands, only less than 30 above the crossbar. centimeters!

"Ajax almost broke the goal of Manchester United at the beginning of the game! Huntelaar's shot was blocked by Damian and was refracted. The football will fly over the crossbar and into the stands."

Lingard felt unprecedented pressure.

The Premier League is the Premier League and Europe is Europe.

After he got used to the simple and rough style of play in the Premier League, he seemed a little overwhelmed after facing the delicate passing and cutting and richer offensive advancement methods of Europe.

Ajax has always been a representative team for the triangle pass in offense. Premier League teams rarely make unexpected triangle passes, and they are in a continuous offensive state.

Sometimes the Premier League team is like a bull that can't turn back, going forward and going forward, not passing back or adjusting transfers.

For many teams with strong technical and tactical strength in Europe, the subtle changes in offense are unimaginable.

Even though Ajax's overall strength has declined, its technical and tactical quality is still at the forefront of Europe. This is inseparable from their entire youth training system, first-team training system, and football philosophy.

Today is a test for Lingard.

Ajax's corner kick failed to create a threat. On the contrary, Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack and fast break. Sim De Jong consciously blocked Cui Zhen. I.

In midfield, Cui Zhen did not wait for the opponent's encirclement to form, and immediately shifted the ball to the left of the frontcourt. Herrera tried to break through the defender Feltman, but failed. This reminded Herrera of last spring In the next game, that is against Ajax, he hardly beat Feltman on the wing with his personal strength.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Ajax had the upper hand on the scene.

They are fighting at home and enter the game faster. In addition, Manchester United's away strategy is to defend first and then attack. Cui Zhen must also contribute his strength to the defense of the midfielder, which makes Ajax's offense look more effective. .

However, as the players got better and their states were mobilized, Ajax's offense encountered an obvious problem: one side was paralyzed.

Lei Heyang plays the winger's right flank. He is still young and inexperienced, and has personal abilities, but in the offensive and defensive duel with Manchester United's defenders, he can't take advantage of it at all. In addition, Luke Shaw's fierceness and Bo Geba's old way, Ajax's right attack is not efficient.

This is to narrow down the direction that Ajax can choose to attack, and can only make a fuss about the center and left.

In the 21st minute of the game, striker Ziyech crossed the middle from the side and attracted Lingard's attention. Made a mistake, made a direct cross, Van de Beek followed up and sent a through ball in the middle, Huntelaar almost caught up in the penalty area, and Bayi's decisive interception was very effective.

Manchester United immediately launched an offensive. Cui Zhen ran forward in the middle. Bayi passed the ball to Smalling on the wing. The latter passed the ball directly to Fellaini in front.

Van de Beek did not chase after Cui Zhen closely, but returned to the front of the penalty area in a straight line. Schon was very stable. He would not make low-level mistakes such as actively dropping the center of gravity of his body, nor would he let himself fall into a lonely defensive state. It was exploded by Cui Zhen with acceleration.So Shane has been retreating.After he formed a tight defensive system with the back line, Schon waited solemnly for Cui Zhen to attack.

After Cui Zhen brought the ball to the front waistline, he had no room for breakthrough. At a glance, the distance between Ajax's midfielder and the defender was relatively short, and the risk of breakthrough was very high. Ajax's skills There is absolutely nothing to say about tactical strength.

With his mind running fast, Cui Zhen wanted to tear through the opponent's line of defense with no flaws in his techniques and tactics.Then you can only rely on individual soldiers to blow up one point of the opponent.

So, who to choose?

Shane?It is very difficult, and Cui Zhen has already understood Shan En's rich experience.

It doesn't make much sense to blast Van der Beek horizontally, because Schon will defend on the sidelines.

Lingard can't be too involved in the offense in this game. First, it is an away game. Second, it is also because Ajax's offense has a threat from the center, unlike some teams in the Premier League who rely on crosses from the side and attack from the center. There is almost no threat, so Lingard can be freed to invest more in offense.

Defender Feltman?Herrera has already tried it, and it is equally difficult.

Cui Zhen set his sights on his former youth teammate, Bu Leshan.

Ajax suffered from a shortage of full-backs, and they were generally injured.This is the move by the coach to play Bu Leshan as the starting guard.

Cui Zhen knows Bu Leshan very well. Before he came to the European battlefield, Cui Zhen could easily break through Bu Leshan's defense. Even Bu Leshan has made great growth, but Cui Zhen still has great confidence in himself.

At the same time, Fellaini on the court is also thinking that his position in Manchester United is very embarrassing. He must become a green leaf serving the core of the team in order to be able to take the opportunity to appear in the game.

So he always wants to create opportunities for Lukaku or Cui Zhen, and dare not play casually in the game, especially when Manchester United encounters large-scale injury problems, the team's nerves are tense, a small problem may It would cause chaos, and he must be careful to gain the right to survive in the team, not to anger the coach or teammates.

Fellaini is actively serving Cui Zhen and Lukaku, which Cui Zhen understands in his heart.

He should have done so, but it seemed a little rigid, because Herrera and Mata knew when to play which role, combining the team and the individual effectively.

In any case, at least Cui Zhen felt that he had a good helper who could let him play.

Cui Zhen slowed down the pace, then moved the ball laterally to the right, casually passed the ball to Fellaini, and then continued to run forward to the right.

When Fellaini saw Cui Zhen's running position, he knew that Cui Zhen had his own ideas and plans. He passed the ball to Cui Zhen before Sim de Jong came to press.

At this time, Cui Zhen has reached the right side.

When Bu Leshan saw Cui Zhen coming to his frontal defense area, he was facing a big enemy, how could he forget Cui Zhen?

When Bu Leshan first joined the Huaxia Youth Team for trial training, the captain Cui Zhen left an indelible impression on him.
