Chapter 163: Can’t retreat anymore

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Arsenal scored in the opening game, which was simply terrible news for Ajax.

They thought about many openings, but this option was not available.

Judging from the current situation, if the score cannot be equalized quickly, Arsenal can continue to expand its advantage with its rich experience.

Especially for the young team Ajax, they are extremely anxious based on their youth.

When the ball is placed in the center circle again.

Tadic's expression was extremely solemn.

They thought a lot before the game and explored Arsenal's tactical system and performance issues, but after the game, they could truly feel the strength of this team.

Arsenal's ability to seize opportunities is frightening.

Their shooting goal rate in the penalty area is very high. It can even be said that as long as there is a gap for shooting, Arsenal can pose a threat to them.

To do this, they need to make more efforts on the defensive end.

However, Ajax is not a defensive team. Defense can be present, but it must be based on offense.

Ajax, meanwhile, refused to admit defeat.

Although they were temporarily behind, they didn't think they had any chance.

When the game restarted, Tadic still ran towards the frontcourt. His task was to score goals. Tadic was an arrow player in Ajax.

At the same time, De Jong in the backcourt will also pass some excellent passes to him.

Of course, the premise is that De Jong can resist Arsenal's midfield pressure.

Yes!

When the game restarted, Arsenal's pressure made Ajax's midfield very uncomfortable.

De Jong and Ajax's midfield almost lost ground under pressure.

De Jong is also very concerned about this.

This is what hell!

They have never seen such outrageous midfield pressure in the Eredivisie.

Even facing Real Madrid's midfield line, they did not feel such tremendous pressure.

To put it bluntly, Modric's midfielder will not press so aggressively. They will conduct and advance within the established space.

But Arsenal and Lucky are different.

Arsenal are pursuing faster speed and more space.

Use pressure to reduce the opponent's space and increase the width of your own court.

It can be said that Arsenal also takes full initiative in defense. They will not passively retreat to defend, but will cause trouble for the opponent in the frontcourt.

The Netherlands is the birthplace of total offense and total defense tactics, and high-position pressing is also the tactic that the Netherlands is best at.

But to be honest, when facing Arsenal, they felt as if they didn't know how to play this system.

"Arsenal is too oppressive in the midfield. As the core of Ajax's midfield, De Jong's space to play is constantly being squeezed, which also makes it difficult for Ajax's offense to advance."

"In Arsenal games, we often see the Gunners using pressing to expand their attacking space, and now they are using this mode to suppress Ajax."

Seeing this, Andy Gray felt a little relieved.

Based on the instability of Premier League teams, Andy Gray was really worried that Arsenal would capsize when facing a dark horse team.

But Arsenal's performance since the start made him put his heart back in his stomach.

In terms of score, Arsenal is already one goal ahead.

On the scene, Arsenal is even more dominant. Even if they have an advantage, they also want to expand this result.

This positive mentality and play make Arsenal's tactics particularly sharp.

On the other hand, Ajax is losing ground.

"We can't retreat any further!"

De Jong shouted from the backcourt.

He rarely does this kind of thing, but at this moment De Jong's face turned red and he kept roaring at his teammates.

It can be seen from this how much pressure is on him.

De Jong knew he could no longer retreat.

To this end, he took the initiative to move forward and meet Wilshere's pressing.

This time, he did not choose to pass the ball, but directly tried to pass Wilshere with a fried ball to open an offensive gap.

De Jong's deep-fried meatballs are pure and the movements are smooth.

He was about to pass Wilshere, but at this moment, Wilshere suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped De Jong.

Beep!

When the whistle sounded, the referee signaled Arsenal for a foul and awarded Ajax a set kick in the backcourt.

In this regard, Wilshere did not protest, he did this deliberately.

Even if he has to be passed, he still wants to make the opponent's kick uncomfortable.

Apply the pressure little by little.

This pressure will eventually become a key factor for these young people.

De Jong got up from the ground. There was not much anger on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Arsenal continues to press them, they will only continue to be forced back and eventually reach a dangerous position.

And if you lose the ball in that position, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, he believes that this set piece can help Ajax relieve some pressure.

Most importantly, he believes Ajax should be more proactive.

At the very least, they can't continue to retreat.

Maybe it was inspired by De Jong, or maybe Ajax also understood the situation at this time.

For this reason, when the game restarted, Ajax faced Arsenal's pressing and they no longer retreated.

It may be a bit thrilling and uncomfortable, but they must ensure that the midfielder has enough ball control and at the same time find an angle to advance.

After De Jong, Van de Beek and others were weak and the two wingers retreated to provide support, the situation eased slightly.

But Ajax's striker retreated too much, causing their offensive line to lengthen, which is not good news.

Ajax coach Ten Hag on the sidelines also frowned deeply.

He touched his shiny bald head and felt that this game was very frustrating.

From the beginning to the end, Arsenal adopted an overall oppressive approach, and did not see any wonderful individual performance from the opponent. They all used an overall approach to advance.

And it is precisely this pattern that makes Ajax uncomfortable.

"Pass the ball to Ziyech!"

Ziyech is definitely a weapon in Ajax's advancement.

Based on his superb dribbling skills, he can help Ajax advance the ball into dangerous areas.

For this reason, in many difficult situations, Ajax will pass the ball to Ziyech and let him help the team relieve the pressure.

The ball was passed to Ziyech.

Ziyech also understands the team's situation, and for this he must open up some situations.

Pull the ball and turn around, ready to break through.

But as soon as he faced the offensive direction, he encountered tremendous pressure.

In front of him is Arsenal's No. 4, Lucky, who has caused headaches for strikers across Europe!

Lucky turned slightly to the side, letting go of the external passage and tightly restricting the internal position.

The meaning is obvious, take a heretic approach.

But Ziyech was a little afraid to try, it was so easy to live with Lucky.

Lucky sank again. Although there was no movement, it still gave Ziyech an aggressive sense of oppression.

It seemed like the next second, this guy would rush over to grab the ball with all his teeth and claws.

But Ziyech is also riding a tiger at this time, and the team needs to open the offensive channel on its own.

For this reason, he could only go to the scalp.

Ziyech remembered that Lucky's weakness was speed, which was the only key factor limiting Lucky's performance.

Fancy technology has shown that it has no effect on Lucky.

I didn’t see it, is Messi’s dribbling often restricted by Lucky?

On the contrary, those fast horses on the wing can often pose some threats when facing Lucky.

For this reason, Ziyech is also preparing to replicate this scene.

After making up his mind, Ziyech decisively started with the ball.

However, after this one pass, Lucai took action.

In an instant, he took a step across, turned around, twisted his waist, and penetrated horizontally!

The movement was completed in one go, directly blocking Ziyech behind him who had not yet started.

"So fast!"

Ziyech was stunned.

Who said Lucky is slow?

On the other side, Lucky also firmly grabbed the ball and passed it back to the defender to reorganize.

And he turned his head and glanced at Ziyech, with a strange look in his eyes.

This guy should know his own weaknesses, but he doesn't understand them deeply.

Lucky is afraid of speed dogs!

But what he is afraid of is the speed dog that has already started!

Activate to get rid of him in front of him, and directly block the opponent behind you.

Ziyech was rejected.

The effect was not exerted, but the ball was intercepted.

This makes Ajax's situation even more uncomfortable.
