What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 81 Benfica, easy entry

On October 10th, Ajax will usher in the third round of the Champions League group stage, and this round's opponent is the Portuguese Super League giant Benfica, which is also the strongest team in this group.

After all, judging from the European War points, the Portuguese Super League is ranked behind Ligue [-], ranking sixth, and he also surpasses Ligue [-] from time to time, running to the fifth position.

And Benfica has performed very well in the Portuguese Super League in recent years, and also performed well in the Champions League.

Therefore, Ten Hag also attaches great importance to this Champions League group match.

In the 3th round of the league three days before the group match, Ten Hag performed half of the rotation again, and Lin Kedi was in the ranks of the rotation.

In this league, Ajax is at home against Sparta Rotterdam.

The opponent is also a strong team in the Eredivisie, but this season's performance and state are very average. After 7 rounds of the league, they rank at the bottom of the league.

This is also the confidence that Ten Hag dared to rotate.

And the rotation of players in this game did not disappoint.

Czerny scored 2 goals, Sime de Jong had a long shot, and finally Kluivert also scored 1 goal.

It is worth mentioning that Mazrawi, who had contact with Lin Kedi before, was also promoted to the first team again. This game was replaced at 80 minutes, although there were only about 10 minutes left , but Mazraoui's performance is still remarkable.

Ten Hag even has the idea of ​​letting Mazraoui go straight into the first team.After all, the team's right-back Feltman is really good at playing in the Eredivisie, no-feltman is not very good when facing the other two Eredivisie teams Eindhoven and Feyenoord up.

So when Ten Hag saw that Mazraoui performed well in this game, he made a decision.

However, it is impossible to let Feltman be a substitute all at once. After all, he is the captain, and Ten Hag has just arrived. .

However, in any case, after this league, Mazraoui officially entered the first team.

Then Ajax went to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to challenge the European giants.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, the westernmost city in Europe and the most famous city in Southern Europe. It is a tourist city and the political, economic, cultural and educational center of Portugal. At the same time, Lisbon is also an international seaport and a famous industrial city.

In this city, there are two world-renowned teams, one is Sporting Lisbon, and the other is Ajax's opponent Benfica this round.

Benfica's home stadium is the Stadium of Light, where the 2014 UEFA Champions League final was held.

This stadium can accommodate more than 6 people, which is much larger than the Amsterdam Arena, and it looks spectacular.

Benfica's formation for this game is 433.

The goalkeeper is Sverril, the defense line from left to right is Grimaldo, Ruben Dias, Luizon and Douglas, and the three midfielders are Augusto, Fessa and Pizzi.The three forwards are Goncalves, Raul Jimenez and Salvio.

Ajax still has a 4231 formation.

However, Lin Kedi's partner has changed today, with Neres on the left and Czerny on the right. on the bench.

This made him very dissatisfied.

But he didn't dare to vent it. After all, Ten Hahe still governed the army very strictly.

The reason why Ten Hag did not choose Kluivert on the right today is also very simple.

It's just that he is too lonely.

If you don't pass the ball, cut inside.

If this is the case, you can score goals, like Robben, you are alone, but you can always score goals in that area or make threatening passes.

But Kluivert is just alone. His set can still be effective against mid-lower teams in the Eredivisie, but at a higher level, he will not be effective.

So Ten Hag decisively took him out of the starting lineup when facing a strong team.

And when facing weak teams, he can be used.

This is the current positioning of Ten Hag's first-team players during the internal meeting of the coaching staff.

It is worth mentioning that during the coaching meeting, for the player Lin Kedi, the coaching staff unanimously adopted the position that the offensive core player has a certain right to fire, and the future leader needs to be protected at this stage.

In short, facing this kind of offensive genius, Ten Hag, who is a Dutchman, naturally has a good impression. In addition, Lin Kedi is serious in training and playing, the effect is very good, and he is the top scorer in the team. There are many players like this. It cannot be overestimated.

Arriving at the Stadium of Light, after the game officially started, Lin Kedi felt the care of the opponent.

As soon as I arrived in front of Benfica's defense, the ball was still on the side of Ajax. As a result, when Linke was about to sprint forward, he suddenly hugged Linke with both hands.

Just as Lin Kedi was about to shout, the man let go of his hand.

The referee didn't see it at all, it was a small move.

Lin Kedi almost fell down and missed this good opportunity.

And this effect is exactly what that person wants.

From what Lin Kedi saw, his name was Ruben Dias, and he was also a young central defender.

"You like to play this kind of routine, don't you?"

Link said to Dias hostilely.

Dias didn't look at him at all. In his opinion, Lin Kedi was incompetent and furious.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because, just 3 minutes after this incident, Lin Kedi received a long pass from De Jong in the middle, and caught up with the ball with an acceleration. At this time, Dias was defending Lin Kedi head-on. He was full of confidence I am full to stretch my feet.

And Lin Kedi seized this opportunity, a deep-fried meatball, the ball bounced nimbly at Lin Kedi's feet, jumped and jumped, and followed Lin Kedi to pass Dias.

Dias hurried to close his legs, but it was too late.

After Link passed Dias, he volleyed without waiting for the goalkeeper to react.

The goalkeeper stands relatively to the left, and Lin Kedi's shot is aimed at the lower right corner.

1:0.

The second goal of the Champions League arrives.

After scoring the goal, Lin Kedi first rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate.

Jump up and punch.

It looks full of tension and youthful.

After the celebration, when walking back to the middle circle, Lin Kedi deliberately glanced at Dias.

Dias drooped his head, and he could imagine how the head coach Victoria would scold him after the game.

He stretched out his foot recklessly just now, allowing Lin Kedi to pass him easily, and also prevented the goalkeeper from returning to his position in time.

This high probability of conceding a goal will be buckled to Dias' head.

Sure enough, when the whole game ended with a small victory for Ajax away with 1 goal.

The Portuguese local media immediately surrounded Dias after the game.

Dias was pushed into the locker room by captain Louison.

Lin Kedi looked at the back of Dias in the direction of the player tunnel, and he himself accepted the interview of the best player after the game.
