After all, it is the final stage, so we should be calm and conservative, especially for young teams.
Now Ajax, which is organized in series in Qin Xiong’s core midfield, is trying to activate the team’s combat effectiveness
At the same time, Qin Xiong also carefully observed the defensive strategy of Porto players in the ball running and receiving.
In fact, Porto formation does not represent the advanced tactics of European football. They are a bit like England 442.
You can observe it carefully, but there is something different.
The other two strikers, Dele Alberto, never try to grab Ajax defenders in order to ensure that the midfield in their own activity area is closely linked
If they are desperate to grab the Ajax defender, it is obvious that Deco will lead the midfield line out of line!
When attacking, Ajax will be cut by the doublewaist defender, and the defensive formation will support the midfield defense.
All these two energetic strikers will force Ajax midfielders to defend actively in the midfield area.
This is Mourinho’s coaching ability. He can make strikers obey and defend actively, and 99% strikers are unwilling to do dirty work.
If there is no pressure from behind, Qin Xiong will resolutely try to challenge De Comendez to form a middle defense line, but compared with being able to break the opponent’s midfield, the two men defended or struggled to face the combination of double waist and front waist. Today, he was surrounded by his opponent in all directions in the middle, which gave De Comendez an innate advantage in defense.
If Alberto Dellai can interfere with Qin Xiong, then De Comendez will seize the opportunity to form a joint defense to contain Qin Xiong.
If the two strikers harass Qin Xiongde Ke and Mendes, they will retreat to the back line and keep a close distance so that Qin Xiongfa can break them one by one!
Tight defense, overall coordination and tacit understanding of defense
Porto’s rational defensive strategy is very similar to that of Mourinho, a young man on the sidelines. His cold face is a declaration that Porto is as cold as steel.
However, this is relative to the independent defense picture. The game is constantly running. Porto can’t do his job every time and should be in the defense area. After all, they have to attack!
After 15 minutes of relative calm at the beginning of the game, Qin Xiong thought that Ajax as a whole had fully mobilized the game state.
They tried to attack.
After the 17th minute of the game, Qin Xiong roughly found out the opponent’s strategy to contain the midfield, and slowed down the pace of dribbling just after the midfield. He seemed to be planning a breakthrough for Deco, and Deco also planned a defensive cooperation for Alberto.
He didn’t expect Qin Xiong to seduce Deco. After attracting Deco’s attention, Qin Xiong immediately put the ball forward.
Four meters away from the penalty area, Ibrahimovic pulled the ball sideways from Mendes and swung it at an angle. Before Mendes was ready to pull his jersey, Ibrahimovic completed a long shot in one go!
This shot has a shocking effect, which makes goalkeeper Bai Ya surprised in a cold sweat.
He didn’t move, didn’t save Ibrahimovic’s shot too suddenly, and this guy’s strength was amazing. He shot the football and shuttled 30 yards in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, he missed the goal by two meters and flew out of the baseline.
Ajax completed an attack. Swedish striker Ibrahimovic made an amazing longrange shot, but it missed the goal. It seems that Ajax is ready to test the Porto defense with a longrange shot! Ajax’s longrange shooters have many Sd Van der Vaart Ibrahimovic, including Qin Xiong’s Ajax offensive players in the frontcourt. They are described by the Dutch media as being able to score goals in the frontcourt!
Mourinho kept a calm look from beginning to end.
Even if Ajax attacked him, he would be the same as Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his face.
In fact, his heart is looking forward to Ajax’s attack
Porto focuses on defense, defense first, and then counterattack. Before defense, of course, it is the opponent’s attack!
The more Ajax attacks, the more Mourinho expects! to be continued
[Text 221 Foul Restriction War]
There are not many new routines in Porto’s counterattack. He attacks the main middle road from the side and inserts it to follow up this core of Deco. He is responsible for the counterattack, dispatching the ball, choosing the best counterattack route, and then following up the middle road himself.
Deco has a strong ball control ability, but Qin Xiong found that his speed is not good in the game. Even though Qin Xiong is not a defensive player, he can still pester Deco to make Porto play a quick attack on the side, but not combine the sides and make a largescale lateral dispatch.
Just as Porto is expecting Ajax to attack and give them a counterattack.
Ajax is also looking forward to Porto’s counterattack.
This is determined by the football style.
It will be more difficult for opponents to score goals if they stick to Ajax.
However, if the opponent is still fighting back, he will invest four less players. In other words, Ajax will have a better offensive environment if he wants to play faster and faster during the offensive and defensive conversion.
In the 21st minute, Deco gave the ball to the winger costinha in the backcourt. He instigated a fast break on the right, but it didn’t succeed. Escudegarasek stifled Alberto, a teenager, to get a direct shot.
