What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 95 15 Years of Waiting
After the first leg of the knockout round of the Champions League round of 16.

Ajax will play 3 league games.

At this time, Lin Kedi has scored 17 goals in the Eredivisie.

It is still the top scorer in the Eredivisie.

No.2 is Jahanbakhsh from Alkmaar.

He scored 14 goals.

Soon, the 25th round of the Eredivisie League will come.

Before this round of the league, Lin Kedi had not scored in 7 league rounds in the Eredivisie.

Although Lin Kedi adjusted his mentality himself.

And just a few days ago in the Champions League, he also scored 1 goal.

But the Dutch media still started their bombardment.

"Without scoring in 7 league games, the Chinese kid is no longer miraculous!"

"How far can Ajax go with just 16-year-olds scoring goals?"

Lin Kedi could see all kinds of reports whether he wanted to or not.

But this time, Lin Kedi didn't feel anxious anymore, and the reason was very simple, because a few days ago, he just scored in the knockout round of the Champions League, breaking the scoring drought, which gave him great confidence.

Now what Lin Kedi thinks in his heart is, I can score in the knockout round of the Champions League, but I can't score in the Eredivisie?
What's more, the opponent in this round is the Hague team.

The strength of Den Haag is at the middle level in the Eredivisie, and it is also a team that likes to attack forward.

So Lin Kedi is very confident that he can break the league's ball shortage in this game.

After the game started, Lin Kedi was very active in the frontcourt.

Today is Kluivert on the left and Neres on the right.

In the 36th minute, the Ajax team, which had attacked almost half the time, seized a chance.

Lin Kedi received a cross from Neres from the right in the frontcourt and flicked the header.

It looked like a very simple header, but the ball flew directly into the upper right corner of the goal.

1:0.

After opening, Lin Kedi's scoring ability seems to have improved significantly.

In the 47th minute of the second half, Lin Kedi received a through ball from De Jong in the middle, accelerated to overtake two defensive players in Den Haag, and got the ball before Den Haag's central defender stretched out his foot to steal the ball. From a position of 20 meters, he shot directly with one kick.

2:0.

海牙队一下子就崩盘了，接下来第60、71、81分钟连丢3球，最后阿贾克斯5比0大比分拿下了胜利。

A week later, the 26th round of the league.

Ajax went away to challenge Waiters.

Compared with the last round of the league, this game was much more difficult.Because Waiters insisted on placing the bus team, and set up the bus from the very beginning of the game.

However, this game is just a little more difficult for Ajax, not so difficult.

In the 51st minute of the second half, Lin Kedi made a side pass, and Van der Beek, who made an assist, scored a goal and received an assist.

In the 70th minute, before Lin Kedi was about to be replaced, Linke received a through pass from Van der Beek in the middle, and passed a diagonal pass to Neres, who cut in from the right.

Neres scored from the far corner, 2-0.

Lin Kedi scored twice with an assist.

After that, he was routinely replaced around 70 minutes.

This is also Link's ninth assist in the league. If Link can get another assist in the next league game, then Link will become the only player in the Eredivisie League this season with both goals and assists in double figures people.

Moreover, Lin Kedi's number of goals in the Eredivisie League has reached 19, and he is only one step away from 20 goals.

Time soon came to the 27th round of the league, and Ajax played at home against Heerenveen.

Three days later in this league is the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 3.

Although Ajax led 1-0 in the away game in the first round, it seemed that they had the upper hand.

But Ten Hag didn't dare to relax at all, so in this league, Ten Hag directly carried out a full rotation, and the goalkeepers were all rotated, just to ensure that they can break into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

After all, the last time Ajax broke into the top 16 of the Champions League was the 05-06 season, and it was already 12 years ago.

那一次阿贾克斯并没有能闯入欧冠8强，当时他们在16强战的时候2回合2比3输给了国际米兰。

So after a lapse of 12 years, Ajax broke into the top 16 of the Champions League again. This time, Ajax was suffocating from top to bottom, and wanted to break into the top 8 of the Champions League.

If they can break into the top 8 of the Champions League this season, it will be the first time that Ajax has broken into the top 15 of the Champions League after 8 years.

How many years of waiting, just this game.

So Ten Hag naturally didn't dare to neglect.

Especially in the first round, Ajax gained such a big advantage. If they fail to advance in the end, there will be overwhelming criticism and verbal criticism. Ten Hag knows this clearly, so he must be fully prepared.

Ten Hag has already made up his mind in this league, and it doesn't matter if he loses.

In fact, they didn't lose, just a 0-0 draw with Heerenveen, the main force.

Ajax's league title rival PSV Eindhoven fought on a single line. They also won this round, leading Ajax by 1 point and returning to the top of the standings.

Previously, Eindhoven ranked fourth in the Champions League group stage and missed the Europa League. In addition, they lost to the Dutch second team in the top 1 of the Dutch Cup in January and were eliminated. Therefore, there is only one line to compete for the championship. PSV Eindhoven is the main force in every game, just trying to consume Ajax, which is currently advancing on all three lines.

But at this time, Ajax no longer cares about losing points in the league.

This day, August 3.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout round has officially begun.

Amsterdam Arena.

Ajax held an away goal and was at home again. At the beginning of the first half, they seemed very calm and composed, allowing Sevilla to attack.

After Sevilla stormed for 7 or 8 minutes, a pass error was cut off by Ajax.

Schöne made a long pass and directly found Neres in the frontcourt.

At this moment, Lin Kedi started quickly.

There was a defensive player in front of Neres. He turned around and threw the player with the right hand, and found Lin Kedi with a cross.

Link stopped the ball on his chest and kicked it.

It's a pity that the shot was a bit high.

However, the quick, accurate and ruthless counterattack made Sevilla dare not attack recklessly.

For the rest of the first half, Sevilla kept attacking and Ajax kept fighting back.

However, it is obvious that neither team had much shooting luck. After the first half of the game, the two teams had 4 shots and 5 shots respectively, which seemed to be evenly divided.

But Sevilla is in a hurry, you Ajax have an away goal, we have nothing yet.

So at the beginning of the second half, they finally pressed directly and aggressively.

Regardless of the counterattack power shown by Ajax in the first half.

But soon, they will pay the price for this disregard.

In the 61st minute, Sevilla made another pass error. Sevilla's right back passed too small and was cleared by De Ligt's header. De Jong took the ball in a relay, turned around and made a long pass over the top , looking for Lin Kedi in the middle.

Lin Kedi started to accelerate immediately and easily got the ball before Langley.

Then--

It's single-handed!
Facing the goalkeeper Rico who did not attack this time, Lin Kedi shot directly from outside the penalty area.

1:0.

The total score of the 2 rounds was 2 to 0.

Sevilla collapsed immediately, because in this case, only scoring one goal is not enough for Sevilla.

Originally, Sevilla planned to advance by 1 goal, tie the total score, and then enter overtime and grind slowly.

But now one is directly "stolen" by the opponent.

For the rest of the time, Sevilla still pressed and played, trying to recover a goal quickly.

Then chase 1 goal. In this case, 2 away goals can qualify for Sevilla.

Naturally, Ajax would not agree to this whimsical idea.

So, in the 85th minute, Sevilla's attack was unsuccessful, and Vazquez's long-range shot was directly confiscated by Onana, and then Onana threw the ball vigorously.

After receiving the ball from the right, Neres rushed forward all the way.

After Lin Kedi in the middle received the ball, he passed another diagonal pass to Dolberg who came in from the left, and Dolberg shot from the far corner.

2 to 0, the total score of the two rounds was 3 to 0.

Totally kills the game.

After 15 years, Ajax broke into the Champions League quarterfinals again.
