"De Ligt!

Nice tackle!

A very decisive move, Ajax resolved a crisis!

"

Aubameyang shook his head helplessly.

He was about to catch up with Lucky's through ball just now, but he didn't expect the opponent's 18-year-old center back to tackle it so decisively, which scared him and jumped up immediately.

From every angle, the timing of this guy's tackle was perfect.

Aubameyang also admitted that the opponent is extremely talented.

"Don't fight him physically. Even though he is young, he is not afraid of this. Use your skills, especially after entering the penalty area. When you face him alone, don't rush to shoot. He will make mistakes in decision-making. !”

De Ligt likes to tackle, and he tackles close to him, allowing the opponent to take the initiative to fight with him.

However, this style of play also has disadvantages, that is, it does not leave space for yourself. Once you enter the penalty area, you are limited by experience and decision-making issues. Once you make a mistake, you are likely to win every subsequent judgment.

For this reason, when facing De Ligt, we must not act too hastily, but must slowly wear down the opponent.

What De Ligt is not afraid of the most is confronting him, but he is not good at fighting.

Lucky returned to his own half after a brief reminder.

Lucky's target in this game was De Jong.

Frenkie de Jong, a player with a handsome appearance.

Lucky and De Jong are completely different types of players.

De Jong is a product of youth training in the absolute sense, and all his abilities in passing and tactical execution are artificially created.

To put it bluntly, it lacks spirituality, but is stable enough.

His transfers and ball distribution are extremely reasonable, and his dribbling is also very three-dimensional.

But the key is not being able to create those wonderful moments of inspiration in football.

Therefore, many people describe De Jong as a standard product, which is a type that can be mass-produced.

But Lucky is different.

From a full-back at the beginning to a defensive midfielder now.

Many of Lucai's skills were figured out by himself. He is good at leading with long passes, and can also coordinate with short passes, and he always gives people a sense of surprise.

Lucky comes from a pure wild background + a certain amount of reasonable training.

This type of player is often the most troublesome.

Because no one knows what Lucai will do next, their ideas are always wild and wild.

Just like this time, it was obviously an opportunity for a triangle passing attack. De Jong also quickly followed up Arsenal's Mane to limit Lucky's ball.

But Lucai suddenly dunked the ball and passed it to the other side.

The transfer was quick and decisive.

It's done in an instant.

This also caused Ajax to run desperately to block the ball.

And once they reached the other side, the ball came to Lucai's feet and continued to divide the sides, constantly consuming the opponent's physical energy.

From this moment on, Ajax also completely lost the initiative.

"They relied too much on the tactical system they learned, but they ignored the open positions in the game."

Mourinho shook his head slightly.

He admitted that these Ajax players are very capable, and with a little training they will all be top players.

But the problem is that these players are too young.

Not enough experience.

If they encounter a slightly weaker midfield, they will definitely perform well.

But facing a midfielder like Lucky who has a strong midfield and can't figure out the rules of the ball, they can only just run away.

Lucky can't say that he can defeat them, but he definitely has a strong suppressive effect.

Just like now, Ajax's three midfielders are almost compressed into the penalty area and cannot escape easily.

The ball has always been firmly controlled by Lucai, constantly relying on the two wings to involve the opponent's defense.

"Look at the person! Look at the gap!"

Ajax coach Bosz yelled angrily.

Each of these players has great talent, but they lag far behind in terms of experience.

In the past, Ajax used Schone, the veteran and captain, to organize the offense, so that the overall threat could be effectively displayed.

But as the club suffered injuries, only a group of young people were left for Bosz.

De Jong is an excellent midfielder, but he is limited by experience. He will inevitably be at a disadvantage against a player like Lucky who is used to playing in major competitions and has played against the world's top midfielders.

"Go up and press! Don't stand still, don't retreat!

Go up and grab him! "

Bosch was extremely anxious.

Seeing the defense line retreating steadily, he became increasingly anxious.

If this continues, we will lose the ball.

Suddenly, Lucky distributed the ball to the wing and took the initiative to get into the penalty area.

Mane took advantage of the situation and passed the ball.

Lucky ran forward and jumped to attract attention.

In the middle position, Lukaku also picked up green onions on dry land, facing the ball with a fierce header and sending the ball directly into the opponent's goal.

The goal came extremely suddenly and easily.

Hardly any restrictions.

The young players of Ajax stood there blankly one by one. They were all stunned by Arsenal's kick.

"Ajax! After they lost the ball, they were kicked dizzy again. Arsenal's goal could not even be effectively restricted."

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head.

This game cannot be said to be a disparity in strength, but it always gives people a feeling that Arsenal is in control of the overall situation.

To be honest, Ajax played well.

But he was kissed by Arsenal.

So there is still a gap in the midfield!

At this time, Frenkie de Jong's handsome face was full of confusion.

He didn't even know what was going on, they just dropped the ball.

Why lose the ball?

Why does it feel so uncomfortable to play?

There was no such feeling when facing Barcelona in the Champions League group stage.

This is not a pure pass, but every kick can hit their most uncomfortable position.

And Arsenal's pace is not fast, but if they suddenly start to take the ball, they just can't keep up.

The difference in rhythm!

De Jong looked a little unwilling.

He boasted that he was very capable, but when facing Lucai, he was suppressed so miserably.

"I feel like No. 21 is confused!" Wilshere said looking at De Jong.

Lucky said; "He doesn't know me, but I know him very well. If you don't pay attention to your opponent before the game, this is the consequence!"

Lucky shrugged: "If he is smart enough, he will not think about direct confrontation with me, transfer and distribute the ball, and need to increase the width of the court, but they don't seem to realize this yet."

As Lucky said, even after conceding the ball.

Ajax still plays according to the previous method, without much field width, rhythm changes, etc.

They just kept raising the pace according to their inner anger and frustration, trying to play more vigorously.

But in the face of this level of attack, Arsenal made every decision accurately.

Lucky and Kanter made many steals and interceptions in the midfield, further damaging the opponent's mentality.

And even when entering Arsenal's penalty area, facing Hummels and Jimenez, Ajax didn't even have a chance to shoot on target.

At this time, 35 minutes of the game had passed. Seeing that the first half was about to end, Ajax became more and more anxious.

The most taboo thing in football matches is rushing.

Once people are anxious, they will make errors in judgment.

Uh-huh!

The ball at De Ligt's feet was intercepted. He misjudged Aubameyang's speed and did not retreat to receive the goalkeeper's pass. As a result, Aubameyang directly grabbed the ball and passed it to the center.

Lukaku prepared to shoot, but the angle of his shot was blocked.

In this case, Lukaku suddenly swung his leg in the air and the ball passed under his feet.

Mane, who was waiting at the back point, took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball with his left foot. The ball went into the net.

Arsenal scored again.

The first half is not over yet, Arsenal leads Ajax 2:0.

At this moment, the entire Ajax fans at the Cruyff Stadium felt uncomfortable.

They could clearly feel that the entire team played extremely passively. Facing Arsenal's midfield suppression, they could not even effectively counterattack.

So far in the entire first half, there have been zero shots on target. This is the report card handed over by Ajax.

This game gave people the feeling of a father beating his son, and Ajax had no ability to resist at all.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are becoming more stable as they play, firmly controlling the rhythm of the midfield, and relying on Lucky's ability to continue to press.

Ajax is gradually losing itself.
