The game time passed little by little, and there was not much time left in the first half.

Ajax wanted to score as much as possible in the first half, but time no longer allowed.

What's more, their overall situation is not particularly friendly.

Facing Arsenal's midfield pressure, it was difficult for Ajax's midfield to perform.

Especially regarding De Jong's restrictions, Arsenal is very concerned about this.

De Jong's kick was uncomfortable!

Ajax will have a hard time playing!

To this end, Arsenal spent the entire first half controlling around this point.

The entire game progressed smoothly, with Arsenal taking the lead by two goals.

Although it is a temporary lead, if Ajax cannot respond effectively, it will be difficult for them to gain chances in the second half.

Soon, the midfield whistle sounded.

At the end of the first half, Ajax was temporarily trailing Arsenal 0:2.

"The first half is over. Judging from the current situation, Ajax's performance is not particularly good, or they failed to achieve the expected results!"

Andy Gray said.

Richard: "The Ajax we know should be an aggressive and aggressive team, just like their performance in the league, just like they played against Real Madrid, they are all Use a very sharp attack to open up the situation and score goals!”

"But when facing Arsenal, under the pressure from the midfield, Ajax couldn't play at the rhythm they wanted. They were even blasted by Arsenal and scored two goals!"

Andy Gray nodded; "Of course, Arsenal is one of the best teams in European football. If Ajax wants to defeat Arsenal, they still need to make some adjustments during the halftime break, some Intuitive adjustments!”

While the two commentators were talking, everyone in the Ajax locker room was also noisy.

"There is no chance at all in the frontcourt!"

"The midfielder is being suppressed too much, the forwards need to drop back some pressure!"

"Once we retreat, it will be too late to attack. Arsenal will not give us a chance to run behind them!"

"The pressure on the back line is very high. If the midfielder cannot hold it, it is the back line that will suffer!"

Everyone was expressing their own opinions, while also adding some complaints.

The entire first half was played in two words.

‘Frustrated’!

Not to mention controlling the rhythm, even the midfield confrontation is difficult to carry out.

He can't withstand physical confrontation, he can't penetrate the ball through the ball, and he can't play high-position pressing.

The current situation is that there is no way or any way to reverse the situation.

And it is precisely because of this that Ajax players are so impatient.

While everyone was talking, De Rong remained silent.

His expression was a little lonely.

He originally faced the game with confidence, but the 45-minute game was a huge blow to him.

He believes that his ability can compete with top European players, and he can still cause some trouble no matter how bad he is.

But under the current circumstances, let alone trouble, he was suppressed almost the entire time.

Except for the opening trial period, Arsenal and Lucky did not give him any chance to pass the ball easily.

“We need a little more release.”

Tadic said.

As the oldest and most experienced player, he knows exactly what Ajax is currently experiencing.

It is true that De Jong is a talented player, but at least at this stage, De Jong cannot compete with Lucky.

It is almost impossible to rely on De Jong to open up the situation.

Therefore, De Jong needs help. He needs someone in the midfield to help him sort out his rhythm and share the task of delivering the ball.

Ajax coach Ten Hag on the sidelines thought the same way.

The current crux is the issue of ball distribution in the middle. As long as this link is solved, they can still threaten Arsenal's goal.

So how to increase the ball exit route?

Both sides retreat, or the central midfielder is responsible for the ball.

In the past, I should have been more inclined to the latter, but Van de Beek is not a creative player. He is more inclined to an engineering midfielder. Whether he is passing or playing the ball, he is quite satisfactory and it is difficult to threaten Arsenal. defense line.

For this reason, Ten Hag gave more tasks to the two wingers.

The wingers drop back to help relieve the pressure on the midfielder while also sharing the ball-delivering task.

At the same time, Ten Hag also found De Jong and gave him verbal encouragement.

This game was a big blow to De Jong, and he needs some psychological counseling for this.

With Ten Hag's encouragement and comfort, De Jong's expression softened slightly, but it was still not particularly good-looking.

At the same time, in the stadium, the commentators were also analyzing the second half of the game.

They believe that in the second half of the game, if Ajax fails to make effective changes, then the game will lose its suspense.

In the commentator's words, players from both sides also began to return to the field.

In the footage, the Ajax players looked obviously much more serious.

Arsenal, on the other hand, was more relaxed, and they were talking and laughing when they walked out of the tunnel.

With a two-goal lead, Arsenal has more control, while Ajax needs to consider many issues.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.

Arsenal took the lead.

When both sides were ready, Giroud kicked the ball decisively.

"The second half of the game has begun! After the first half of the game, both sides currently show that Ajax is trailing Arsenal 0:2."

"For Ajax, if they want to go further in the Champions League, they must climb the mountain of Arsenal!"

"Of course, this is not an easy thing. It can even be said that this is the strongest team they have encountered so far!"

After Arsenal kicked off, the Ajax players began to press fiercely.

Under Ajax's high pressure, Arsenal slowly retreated, and they were not in a hurry to pass the ball forward.

When the Ajax players began to enter Arsenal's half, their movements soon began to become sluggish, as if full of hesitation.

Based on Arsenal's counterattack ability, on the one hand, they must press forward to draw a tie, and on the other hand, they must retreat to defend.

In this decision, Ajax obviously has a difficult time making a choice.

Arsenal easily moved the ball from the left wing to the front, but they still did not rush to attack, and even Lucky did not press forward.

This is Arsenal's usual method.

When they think they have gained a certain degree of advantage, they will not suppress too fiercely unless they have boosted their morale and feel that they are in good condition.

Lucky's position is a clear signal.

Lucky and Kanter once again built a defensive network, leaving the frontcourt players to operate.

"Arsenal began to turn to defense. After they took a two-goal lead in the away game, Arsenal as a whole began to move in a safe direction. After all, with this score, Arsenal did not need to take risks and continue to attack, but their frontcourt The pressure is still sufficient!”

"Especially in the opening stage, Arsenal did not want to make it easy for Ajax, so they put great pressure on them!"

"However, Ajax's two wingers also began to drop back and join in the rhythm of conduction. Obviously this is a change made by Ajax to help the team move forward and attack."

"But the problem is, the winger retreated, which left Ajax with only Tadic in the frontcourt!"

"Can he take on the role of Ajax's attacking arrow?"

Nonsense!

Tadic's answer was very concise.

When the two wingers retreated and there was no protection or support on the wings, he was in the stage of fighting alone.

In the defense of Kanter, Lucky, Hummels, and Jimenez, how extraordinary his performance can be to drive the offense.

To this end, all he can do is wait for his teammates to bring the ball out.

If he chooses to pass a long ball or a lob pass, he has no chance at all.

Ajax also understands this truth, and for this reason, they now do not expect Tadic to score without help.

Instead, it focuses on steady passing and probing.

They need to play more patiently, playing against a team like Arsenal. Once they start to get anxious, they will reveal more flaws.

A small flaw could be exploited by Arsenal and blast away their goal again.
