Strong Waist

The Ajax players were gasping for air.

They feel very tired at this time.

Not only physically exhausted but also mentally helpless.

From the beginning of the game to now, they have given everything they have, but they are always so passive when facing Arsenal.

Every goal seemed to kill them.

They have never felt this way in the league or even when playing with Real Madrid.

The whole game was completely at the mercy of Arsenal, and they were all dizzy as they kept playing.

I don’t know what happened, but I fell behind for no reason.

Moreover, the defense is not good, and the offense cannot be suppressed.

It's like it's stuck in the middle, neither up nor down.

Although the previous goal had a certain effect, it was quickly expanded by Arsenal. This goal also further depressed their morale.

They gave everything they had, but they couldn't force anything out of Arsenal.

At least so far, Arsenal has played extremely relaxedly, and there is no feeling of being forced into a desperate situation at all.

But the problem is that they really did everything they could.

This gap and this game made them feel extremely desperate.

I tried my best, but still couldn't see the dawn of victory, and I avoided becoming emotionally depressed.

But luckily, the first half is coming to an end.

They can get a halftime break to adjust.

Arsenal seemed to have no intention of continuing to press forward, which made them relieved.

"Arsenal is still so stable. They didn't have any panic in the entire first half and scored two goals steadily. For the opponent, this feeling is really uncomfortable."

"At the same time, we also hope that Ajax can make some effective adjustments during the halftime period!"

The midfield whistle sounded, and amid waves of cheers, players from both sides walked off the field and entered the locker room.

Throughout the process, the Ajax players had solemn expressions and even some low spirits.

Obviously, Arsenal's second goal gave them a really big blow.

"It has no effect at all! They still have several away goals. If we keep playing like this, we won't be able to advance at all!"

After De Jong returned to the locker room, he expressed his views.

Throughout the first half, they played really actively, but due to physical reasons, they could not hold on for too long.

In the end, Arsenal seized the opportunity and expanded the score again.

In this regard, Ajax players were also silent.

They don’t want to admit it, but there is an overall gap.

This Arsenal team is no longer an opponent they can handle. Even if other strong teams in the Champions League face Arsenal, they will also have a hard time.

Ten Hag listened to everyone's words and clapped his hands gently to attract everyone's attention.

After they calmed down, he slowly said:

"I understand the urgency in your hearts, but this is not a problem that can be solved in a hurry."

"Everyone understands the gap between us and Arsenal, even our fans think so, because this is the objective fact!"

"This does not mean that we are much worse than them, but you have not experienced growth yet. When most of their players are competing in the Champions League, most of you are still training in the youth training!"

"So, what I want to say is that the key to this game is not winning. Of course, winning is a very gratifying thing, and I strongly advocate this result!"

"But we have to show ourselves more. I hope you will learn some things you need in this game to grow!"

"Children, your future is not here, nor will it be determined by this game, so you must show yourself as much as possible, and then create your own value!"

"There are 45 minutes left in the game, score another goal, use your way, use what you are best at, play your own style! Play a game without regrets, this is the key!"

After Ten Hag finished speaking, he felt secretly bitter in his heart.

Who doesn’t want to win, but he understands the difference.

Unlike young guards like Ajax, Arsenal are chasing the championship.

The two have different purposes and different patterns, and the final game picture is also different.

Furthermore, the gap between Arsenal and Ajax is indeed huge.

He can't expect these half-grown children to compete with the world's top stars and win against them.

This is not a realistic thing.

Win! Of course he is happy and he also wants to win.

But judging from the current situation, this is not an easy thing to achieve.

He will also ask for it, but it doesn't mean that he will deny everything after losing.

At the very least, they want to come up with their own style in this game.

After hearing Ten Hag's words, the Ajax players were silent for a moment.

De Ligt suddenly said: "Maybe this is our last Champions League game, I don't want to have any regrets!"

"Me too!" De Jong said: "We are fighting hard in the second half, Ziyech, you haven't passed Kai yet!"

Ziyech directly spread his hands and said: "Are your demands on me too high? Do you really think I am Messi?"

Tadic laughed; "Messi can't get over it either!"

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

The atmosphere became a lot more relaxed, as if some kind of burden had been lifted.

On the other side, tactical arrangements are being made in an orderly manner in Arsenal's dressing room.

"The young central defender has a good sense of attacking and tries his best to give me the ball!"

Jirou said towards Lucky.

Lucky knew that Giroud was talking about De Ligt, so he nodded; "I understand!"

On the other side, Dembele and Aubameyang are also communicating.

Everyone is preparing for the second half of the game.

Soon, the assembly whistle sounded.

Lucky suddenly stood up and said: "Guys, there is still the second half, win this game, and then advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

Roar!

The Arsenal players roared briefly and stood up to follow Lucky's footsteps.

Players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, which indicated that the second half was about to begin.

The score between the two sides in the first half was Arsenal 2:1 Ajax.

Arsenal has certain advantages.

This is basically consistent with the expectations of the outside world. After all, Ajax is a youth team. It is really difficult for them to defeat a top team like Arsenal.

This is much more difficult than defeating Real Madrid after losing Ronaldo.

Players from both sides came to their respective half-courts and changed sides to fight.

Ajax took the lead.

Compared to the first half, the faces of these players have become much more relaxed.

Lucky doesn't know what they went through during the halftime break, but it feels like the pressure has been taken off these players, which will make their performance even better.

Soon, Ajax kicked off.

Arsenal pressed in the frontcourt as usual. At the beginning of the game, in order to boost morale, Arsenal would take the lead in this kind of pressure.

Lucky also stood in the middle circle to provide support.

However, Lucky's position should be slightly further back and in parallel with Kanter.

He always had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, Lucky's eyelids twitched.

He turned around and immediately started running.

At the same time, Ajax kicked directly from the backcourt and passed the ball from behind towards the wing.

Ziyech quickly rushed to the landing point. Facing Robertson's restriction, he turned around to resist the opponent and removed the ball with his chest.

"It's done!"

Ziyech was delighted, now all he had to do was pass the ball.

But the moment the ball hit the ground, a foot suddenly entered his field of vision and swept the ball away before he could react.

Ziyech was stunned. When he looked up, he saw Lucky.

Can't you avoid this?

Ziyech felt bitter.

Ajax's sneak attack was disrupted and Lucky created space for Arsenal to retreat.

The Ajax players were also extremely upset at the wasted opportunity.

Of course, it can't be said to be a waste. Lucky's reaction was too smart.

Almost as soon as they were planning to raid, Lucky also started to activate.

After Ajax's sideline ball was thrown out, the ball moved to the center.

De Jong went forward and tried a long shot, but the ball flew high over the crossbar.

In the beginning period, Ajax performed very well.

Arsenal is also ready to look for opportunities to completely kill the game.
