Qin Xiong was lucky.

Pienaar went straight to the ward after returning from the national team.

Recuperate!

One of the main positions in the midfield is vacant!

However, Coman has no intention of helping Qin Xiong to the top immediately.

He is still observing, and he can't bet on Qin Xiong yet.

After all, Qin Xiong has not experienced a big test, and in view of his extremely poor performance in the last league game, although there are factors of rain, his lack of experience is obvious to all. Instability of play is associated.

It is too common for young rookies to perform well in one game and poor in one game.

What's more, the imminent three wars are the key reason why Koeman can't gamble at all.

For Qin Xiong, the positioning is a role that needs to be honed to improve growth.

And the key battles are absolutely impossible to use for training!

This is basic common sense.

Playing PSV Eindhoven is caught in the middle of the European war. The importance of this league can be said to be inferior to that of the Champions League.

Because the Champions League may be out in the group stage, and in the league, Ajax is now leading in points, even if it really loses to PSV Eindhoven, there is still more to chase.

Coupled with the terrifying strength of AC Milan's defending champion, Koeman inevitably has to strengthen the team's defensive capabilities when preparing for these two games.

Pienaar was injured.

Who will replace him?

De Jong!

De Jong and Garasek form a double midfielder. De Jong is purely defensive, and Galasek is both offensive and defensive. He is responsible for the stability of the midfield and the backcourt and provides strong support for the frontcourt. Not a pure playmaker.

In the eighth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax ushered in the league team Volendam at home.

Qin Xiong was still sitting on the bench, and Koeman began to experiment with a new 4231 formation.

The change is in the midfield.

The combination of De Jong-Galasek-Van der Vaart is more defensive than before. At the same time, the new aid Sotars seems to have failed to stabilize the main position in the team and was replaced by Sneijder. Sotals' ball possession advantage is too obvious, and Sotals' speed advantage is dwarfed by the comparison of another side Sikora. Considering the team's rich technical and tactical characteristics, Koeman There is no need for both sides to rely on speed impact to blow up opponents, because the speed advantage has a major premise: space.

Not every opponent will give you space to use your speed advantage to sprint and break the defense.

Volendam's strength was weak, and Ajax killed the suspense of the game 3:0 in the first half.

With Ajax's comprehensive strength, a team playing in the relegation zone of the league like Volendam is at home and will not appear to be stumbling. If there are problems in every game and it is difficult to attack, then what Ajax should do The existing problem is not only as simple as it seems on the surface, it can be said that it is absolutely terminally ill.

Just 5 minutes into the second half, although Volendam recovered a goal, but 10 minutes later, Ajax scored another goal and continued to expand the gap to three goals.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Koeman made a substitution.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and van der Vaart were both substituted to stay strong for the upcoming Champions League.

Qin Xiong and Song Ke were replaced.

Although there is still nearly half an hour left in the game.

However, when Qin Xiong came on stage, the game had already entered garbage time.

He can hardly do anything alone.

The teammates all know that to play in the Champions League, they should not consume too much energy, so the overall formation will not be aggressive forward, and the enthusiasm for forward penetration will decrease.

What about the opponent?

Volendam was conceded four goals, and there was no hope of a comeback, and he didn't want to be slaughtered again, so he just defended.

The only active teammate on the court is Songke.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability of Ibrahimovic's army to stand firm, and he was trapped in the encirclement of Volendam and couldn't move an inch.

Qin Xiong tried to give him a through ball a few times, but he couldn't grasp it. It is true that he is surrounded by many things, and it is difficult to use it even if he has all kinds of skills.

At this stage, Qin Xiong could see that neither side had any ambitions for the game, so he didn't think too much about it, and just did it himself!

Instead of "eating and waiting to die" on the court, it is better to play to your heart's content.

Anyway, the midfielder position he takes over has certain "privileges", unlike the midfielder who puts the overall situation first.

Neither Sneijder nor Sikora intends to continue to charge forward, so they thread needles for Qin Xiong on the sidelines of the midfield.

From the 70th minute, Qin Xiong continued to use his escape technique to step into the long-range range of the penalty area in the frontcourt, and then hit long shots.

He got rid of the action of breaking through the opponent, which still made many fans in the stands applaud.

Can control the ball, and can speed up and get rid of it at the right time.

However, he looks a little lonely.

Song Ke complained a little.

Qin Xiong turned a blind eye.

It's not that he didn't deliver shells to Song Ke, but after trying it, he found that it was completely inefficient to shoot like that, and it was really not as sure as his own long-range shooting.

In the 83rd minute, his fourth long-range shot finally knocked on Volendam's goal.

The football kicked out was heavy and its flight trajectory was erratic. The opponent's goalkeeper made a pounce, but the football still blasted into the goal when it touched the opponent's palm.

This icing on the cake goal made Qin Xiong feel like a training match without much excitement.

But being able to score goals is good in a sense, which means that he is still improving and shows others.

Coach Koeman applauded Qin Xiong from the sidelines.

Even though it's garbage time.

But Coman really didn't relax. He observed Qin Xiong's performance after playing, which made him feel pleasantly surprised again.

Qin Xiong's long-range shooting ability in mobile combat is a highlight.

4 long-range shots, scored a goal, the other 3 long-range shots, one foot was too straight, and the other two feet deviated from the goal. It's not too outrageous.

And every time he takes a kick, he is really not fooling around. He has ensured that there is a shooting angle and space, and he will not know that there is a group of people in front of him blocking him, and he will close his eyes and hope for a miracle.

Koeman is constantly improving his understanding of Qin Xiong in his heart. Players have many characteristics, which cannot be seen in training. They can only be discovered in real games.

Moreover, it is also related to the intensity of the competition.

Just like today's game, Koeman will not think how successful the brand new 4231 is, it is just a run-in, warm-up, and the real test of success will be in Milan four days later!

5:1

Ajax slaughtered Volendam at home.

A score that did not surprise Dutch football.

In Dutch football, offensive football is popular, and there will be at least one game with a big score in each round.

Take this round of the league as an example.

Ajax 5:1 Volendam.

Twente staged a goal battle with Groningen 5:3 at home, and Groningen was finally beaten into a sieve and lost.

And Tveit played another game with the same score after he overthrew Vidis in the last league away game 5:3.

In addition, Alkmaar and Breda also defeated their opponents 3:0 in the same away game.

In the Netherlands, even a mid-range team can create a massacre score, all derived from the style of offensive football.

Qin Xiong's goal in the game did not attract much attention from the outside world. After the eighth round of the league, the Dutch football quickly shifted its attention to the Champions League.

The performance of the two teams representing the Netherlands this season is worrying.

Ajax is not optimistic about the outlook.

Eindhoven is directly in dire straits.

In Group C, Eindhoven lost all of their first two games!

Qin Xiong knew that he would be a substitute, but there was still a little excitement in his heart.

Because he will experience going to other countries with the team for a "long" time for the first time.

In the league, away games are played on the same day and returned on the same day. For away games in the Champions League, the team will go to the city where the away team is located in advance. Depending on the situation, the team must stay in another city for at least one night. For example, from the UK to Russia to play a game, there must be jet lag, and weather changes cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, this time I went to Italy, there is no jet lag, and the climate is better in Italy.

Freddie was like an elder who watched his child go on a long journey. The day before Qin Xiong set off with the team, he gave him a new suitcase and packed it with daily necessities. Before Qin Xiong left, Freddie suddenly Said: "How about I go with you, you tell me the hotel where you are staying in Milan, and I will find a place to live nearby. If you have any questions, please come to me at any time."

Qin Xiong replied with a smile: "Is that why I make you worry?"

Freddy was speechless, turned into a sigh, and told Qin Xiong to pay attention to safety when going out for the last time.

Qin Xiong said softly when he left: "Thank you, don't worry."

When he left Waddell Street with his suitcase, three old men, De Keizer, Rutmanson and Pist, looked at his back together.
