What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 201 The second half of the play is solid

Van Dijk successfully blocked the ball shot by Tadic.

But the ball is still with Ajax at this time, and the ball that popped out landed at Van der Beek's feet. Van der Beek got the ball before Wijnaldum took it, and then turned around to protect it ball.

Although Van der Beek protected the ball, he couldn't move the ball forward. Wijnaldum was behind him defending closely, and it was difficult to turn around. In desperation, Van der Beek could only pass the ball back to Germany. Content, ready to reorganize the attack.

So Ajax began to reorganize the offense again, but this time the offense did not pass to the frontcourt, but was intercepted by the long-awaited Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.

The two sides exchanged the ball here for a while.

For more than 10 minutes, the two sides have been fighting in the midfield position, and neither side has any shots during these 10 minutes.

The time came to the 60th minute, and there were still 30 minutes before the end of the game.

In the 60th minute, Liverpool took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

"Origi comes on, replaces Firmino, and puts on a Zhengyin center forward."

"Origi's height is 1 meters. Now that Liverpool can't open the situation by walking on the ground, if you replace it with a high center forward and play a high ball, it may have a better effect. After all, Liverpool's two wings But very strong."

Just 2 minutes after this substitution, in the 62nd minute, Liverpool made another substitution.

"Only 2 minutes after the last substitution, Klopp made another substitution adjustment, this time in the midfield, replacing Wijnaldum with Milner. The second is to adjust the position of the left midfielder, Milner is an all-round fighter, he can provide a wide range of running and the ability to press and fight, it is obvious that Klopp also wants to continue to strengthen support for the wing."

After this substitution, Liverpool gradually took control of the ball on the field. Although Ajax was still actively pressing, the aftereffects of fighting too hard in the first half appeared.

By about 70 minutes, Ajax's overall physical fitness has declined.

Ten Hag discovered this in time on the sidelines, and immediately launched Plan B that had been formulated before the game.

How to defend after physical decline.

That is to change the thinking and conduct a low-block blocking defense. If the block cannot be blocked, immediately retreat to the front and surrounding areas of the penalty area to protect the penalty area.

Ajax did just that.

"The second half of the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes. To be sure, the rhythm of the game is not as good as that of the first half. After all, the two teams entered the game very fast in the first half, but now, both teams are physically fit. More or less declined, Ajax began to stop pressing high, and Liverpool no longer carried out crazy running attacks. But now the score is 2 to 1, Ajax is the leading side , and Ajax has not made substitutions and adjustments until now, 75 minutes, and it is very likely that they will make successive substitutions and adjustments at the last moment of the game to delay time. "

"Liverpool has changed two people, and the two new players have played for almost 15 minutes, but Liverpool still haven't been able to create any good chances. They can break through Ajax's side defense, but when the ball is passed to the center, Ajax's center is heavily guarded, and they cannot break through Ajax's center defense, so they put on A high center forward who is almost 1 meters has not changed the problem of Liverpool's difficulty in breaking through the middle. This is a very difficult thing for Liverpool now, because there is really not much time left in the game!"

Klopp is a little anxious on the sidelines at this time. He actually still has a substitution quota to use at the last moment. He is going to replace a center forward at the last moment, remove a midfielder, and play an extreme offensive formation like 424. But now there are still 15 minutes before the end of the game, and there is still time, so Klopp is still hesitating whether to just make a substitution.

But in the 77th minute, Ajax seized an opportunity to counterattack. Linke took the ball from the center and broke through to split it to Ziyech on the right. Ziyech fired an anti-aircraft gun.

Although Ziyech fired an anti-aircraft gun, such a counterattack was still very efficient, which made Klopp afraid for a while.

So Klopp waved his hand and decided to make substitution adjustments.

"Stop Sturridge, replace Henderson."

"This substitution is very strong. With a center forward and a midfielder, Liverpool will have to fight their backs!"

After replacing Sturridge, Liverpool immediately launched a wave of offense.

Almost immediately after the substitution was over, they aggressively pressed the offense.

"At this time, Liverpool must attack non-stop. Even after losing the ball, they must immediately counterattack on the spot, because their current formation is an unbalanced formation. If they fall into defense, then this formation will face Ajax's attacking pressure is not enough."

At this time, the time has reached 85 minutes, and 8 minutes have passed since Liverpool's last substitution.

But Liverpool's offense still did not show good results.

And from now on, starting from the 85th minute, Ten Hag also began to make substitution adjustments.

First of all, Neres came on the field and replaced Ziyech, who was no longer physically fit.

When Ziyech was replaced, he had no strength.

In today's game, he went straight up and down, running around, which consumed a lot of energy.

When Ziyech was replaced, the time had reached 87 minutes.

It took almost 2 minutes from the time when the substitution card was held high on the sidelines to when Ziyech really came off the field.

This caused dissatisfaction among Liverpool players.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and now it is really not long before the end of the game.

So after the restart of the game, Liverpool continued to attack aggressively.

But in the 89th minute, the last minute of regular time.

Salah on the right side of Liverpool took the ball forward and was tackled by Tagliafico, who shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

Salah immediately ran to the sidelines, trying to quickly throw the ball back into the field.

But the referee immediately signaled not to throw it, and then pointed to the sidelines.

Ajax's second substitution came.

"Feltman on, replace Van der Beek."

"Replacing a full-back and a midfielder is to strengthen the defense. At the last time, a solid defense is the right choice."

"We also saw that Van der Beek walked off the court slowly, and Fabinho came to express his dissatisfaction at Van der Beek. At this time, we should cherish the time and not conflict with the opponent. You see, You see, as soon as Van der Beek saw Binho coming, he stopped on purpose, which obviously took a little more time, so Fabinho, you are consuming Liverpool's own time."

"Now it has entered stoppage time, and the fourth official on the sidelines raised the stoppage time card, and the stoppage time in the second half is 5 minutes."

"Ajax still has a place for a substitution!"

"It's the last 5 minutes, let's see if Ajax can withstand it, and whether Liverpool can break through Ajax's defense." (End of this chapter)
