Chapter 387
Van der Vaart and Van der Meyde are both midfielders who can control the ball. With them, it is difficult for Eindhoven to fight for the ball in the midfield. This is why Ajax dared to press so aggressively.

However, both of them also have a fatal shortcoming, that is, their poor health.

It seems that all the Dutch technical frontcourts are not very physical, and this is also the consensus of many coaches and players.

Under Gretz's on-the-spot command, Eindhoven began to strengthen the midfield press, and the chosen method was also simple and rude.

For a while, the midfielder often turned his back on his back.Even on the road, Eindhoven is not afraid of Ajax.There is no other reason, this is the confidence of the same wealthy family.

"It seems that Eindhoven has gradually adapted to it and started to strengthen the press." Huang Jianxiang explained, "The two sides fought hand-to-hand in the midfield, and the game was very intense."

In the 13th minute of the game, Ajax succeeded in pressing the frontcourt and got an excellent opportunity.

Ajax took advantage of PSV's error in the backcourt throw-in, and Van der Meyde intercepted the ball.After the ball reached his feet, Van der Meyde sent a beautiful through pass without any hesitation.

Van der Vaart half-turned to catch the ball, and then lightly scored with his heel.Ibrahimovic took the opportunity to ask the defender and ran out of the neutral position astutely.When he received the ball in the penalty area, there was not a single PSV defender around him.

"Beautiful!" the home commentator Laker praised, "Ibrahimovic has an excellent sense of position today, and he easily got rid of all the defenders!"

"Ajax's chance! Zlatan, shoot!"

Then, everyone saw that the ball flew high off the crossbar and rushed towards the stands.

Cech was taken aback. He made perfect preparations, but he didn't expect the other party to fire an anti-aircraft gun.

After reacting, the angry Cech yelled at his teammates, indicating that this defense was a very fatal mistake.Fortunately, the opponent's stupid big kicked the wrong foot, otherwise he would have taken the lead at this moment.

"It's a pity!" Laker said regretfully, "Ibrahimovic is in very good form today, but he is just a bit off."

"If he has the shooting skills of the goodbye boy, then Ajax will definitely get off to a good start today."

After firing a kick from the anti-aircraft gun, Ibrahimovic glanced at the grass under his feet and kicked angrily.

It seems that he "attributed" the anti-aircraft gun to the turf, not himself.

The shots are also very interesting. After Ibrahimovic walked away, he didn't switch to another perspective.Instead, he continued to zoom in, aiming at the place where Ibrahimovic stepped on.Apparently, everything is working and the turf is intact.

"Hahaha, this young Swedish striker wants to use turf to cover up his mistakes!" Huang Jianxiang chuckled, "It seems that turf doesn't want to take the blame!"

Although Ajax took an excellent scoring opportunity, the attack was successful after all.While giving the Ajax players more confidence, Gretz frowned, telling him intuitively that something had been overlooked by him.

"Ajax played well offensively. It seems that it is only a matter of time before Eindhoven loses the ball!" The home commentator said relaxedly. Until now, Eindhoven has not contributed a single shot.

At this moment, Van der Vaart had just received the ball in the midfield, and Van Bommel rushed directly to his side and knocked the opponent away.

As a midfielder, Van Bommel is one of the few players in the Netherlands who relies on his body to make a living.Its tough physical fitness and long-lasting physical strength have always been the basis for Eindhoven's victory.

With just a light lean on his body, Van der Meyde was pushed aside.

After stealing the ball, Van Bommel sent the ball straight forward without the slightest hesitation.

No looking up, no aiming.Just pass the ball in the general direction with a dull head, causing the effect of a quick counterattack.

Situations like this are commonplace for PSV, as PSV's midfielders find that every time they pass the ball, they are half a beat or a beat slower.The reason is that Bai Xiaotian can always be one step ahead and move ahead of time.

Over time, the Eindhoven midfielder has developed a unique skill for quick and long passes.You only need to remember Bai Xiaotian's position before stealing the ball, and immediately kick him in the direction he is heading after stealing the ball.As for whether he can catch the ball, Bai Xiaotian will solve the problem himself.

"Goodbye boy!" Laker exclaimed. "Counterattack, PSV's counterattack!"

Bai Xiaotian was very fast, and rushed to the ball's landing point immediately.After decelerating slightly, he gently lifted his right foot, and let the flying ball go straight forward, stopping the ball two meters in front of him.After a little more acceleration, he caught up with the ball.

Eindhoven's counterattack was very sharp this time, and Ajax's two lines of defense were torn.

Maxwell and Hatem desperately chased back, but after Bai Xiaotian gained speed, few people could keep up.

Bai Xiaotian dribbled the ball for two steps and then directly cut inside. After attracting a central defender's defense, he easily distributed the ball.

Kezhiman continued to push in on the other side of the goal. With his speed, it was still possible to catch up with Bai Xiaotian who was dribbling the ball.

"Gap! PSV took full advantage of the width of the field!"

"Christine just went up to participate in the assist, and he is not in place at this time. Kežman has no defense around him!"

Kežman cut into the penalty area, lay down a few steps and hit the goal with his left foot.

However, the defender who was deceived by his fake action did not deceive the goalkeeper. The veteran Fredgrim, who planned to retire at the end of the season, turned his body and directly blocked Kezhiman's cross.

When he held the ball firmly in his arms, Bai Xiaotian's figure passed behind him immediately.It can be said that if the goalkeeper hadn't intercepted the ball, Bai Xiaotian, facing the empty goal, could score the ball even with his eyes closed.

"Oh! Beautiful defense!" Laker exclaimed, "If it wasn't for training new players, Fred would have retired at the beginning of this season. But now, this veteran player who has played steadily has made great contributions again."

Before Laker finished boasting, Fred who fell to the ground seemed to see something.When the opponent's striker was still by his side, he uncharacteristically got up from the ground, kicked a big kick, and drove forward.

"Fast!" Laker read Fred's signal.

As Fred climbed up quickly, the Eindhoven players also saw the signs and retreated one after another.

However, veteran Fred's ground track and big foot still accurately found the Swedish center in the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic stopped the ball on his chest without even jumping.

The tall Ibrahimovic turned around and took two feet and found that Kevin Hovland was in front of him. Speed ​​is not his specialty, so Ibrahimovic passed the ball without thinking.

"Look, watch! Stuck him!" Gretz shouted from the sidelines.As time passed, the uneasiness in Gretz's heart became more and more restless.

Van der Vaart stepped on the ball with his foot and pulled it back. At the same time, he sideways, avoiding Oye's grab.

After kicking the ball back from the other side behind, the young van der Vaart stood still and walked Oye dizzy.

The four great talents in the Netherlands have begun to emerge.

Just when Eindhoven was thinking about whether to use some tough methods to grab the ball from the young man's feet, Van der Vaart smiled slightly and sent a through ball directly towards the penalty area of ​​Eindhoven.

The ball drilled through the gap between the two PSV defenders and rolled straight to the upper left corner of the penalty area.Seeing the ball getting farther and farther away from the center, Cech had no choice but to stand on the goal line and wait for his teammates to make a clearance.

What no one expected was that a tall red and white figure suddenly thrust out obliquely.When Kevin Hovland reacted, Ibrahimovic had quietly ran from behind him to the ball, blocking the ball with the outside instep of his right foot.

"Oh NO!" Seeing such a situation, Gretz finally understood where his uneasiness came from.

Ibrahimovic is not a classic center forward in the traditional sense. Although his speed is not what Ibrahimovic is good at, his flexible movement and forward penetration awareness are not inferior to Bai Xiaotian at all.

Marko and Kevin Hovland may be able to block all the routes of Ibrahimovic at high altitude, but who would have thought that the 1.9-meter Swedish striker is also a good player on the ground.

Ibrahimovic flicked his toes lightly, and Lianren dribbled the ball away from Marco, leaving an open space.

After taking two light steps forward, Ibrahimovic flicked his right foot and easily fooled Boulma who came to defend him.

However, his rhythm did not slow down because of this. His left foot quickly followed up the moment his right foot just landed, and kicked the ball to the left.

At this time, Boomer, who was thrown off, could only pin his hopes on Kevin Hovland, who had just been filled.Even if he wanted to defend, he lost his defensive position by standing in line with Kevin Hovland.

However, just when Ibrahimovic wanted to break through Kevin Hovland from the left, he suddenly kicked the ball back to his right foot, as if he wanted to squeeze through the gap between the two.

After reacting, Kevin Hovland immediately retracted his center of gravity, planning to "close the door" with his teammates.

But the Eindhoven defenders still underestimated the delicateness of Ibrahimovic's feet. The ball kicked to the right foot hit Ibrahimovic's right foot and bounced back directly.Using two split-second changes of direction, Ibrahimovic managed to break out of Kevin Hovland from the left.

Ibrahimovic just got out of the neutral position, and Oye, who slid to the bottom of the penalty area line, also made up his defense.

Ajax's No. 9 striker made another light change of direction on the toe of his right foot and kicked the ball to the front right, avoiding Oyer's tackle.

Since Ibrahimovic has entered the penalty area at this time, Oye on the ground did not make any other moves, allowing Ibrahimovic to step over his legs.

Boomer, who was blocked by Kevin Hovland, immediately chased after the ball, but Ibrahimovic's long legs caught up with the ball before him.

After swinging his legs hard, Ibrahimovic did not kick the ball towards the goal, but kicked the ball to his left foot from behind.

It is precisely because of this action that Boomer, who had just completed his defense, and Cech, who was attacking, misjudged the direction.

When the ball came to Ibrahimovic's left foot, Ibrahimovic only took half a beat to push the ball into the empty goal.

The commentators who watched the game all over the world didn't even say the words "get rid of, change direction, and fake moves" at the end, and all stared at Ibrahimovic's juggling performance with dumbfounded eyes.When the ball set off a wave of white waves on the net, many people did not react.
