"Hey! Both sides chose to be conservative in the opening, and Ajax also changed their previous tactics of rushing to the start. It seems that the goal of the head coaches of both sides is to seek stability."
"After all, the Europa League matches are played on a home and away basis. The first game is a test, and the second game is a matter of life and death!"
Although Ajax adopted a conservative style of play, they still completed their first shot in the second minute.
Soleimani and Suarez cooperated in the penalty area, and Suarez, the team's first attacker, completed the shot.
In the 17th minute of the game, Soleimani showed his scoring ability.
In a wonderful attack, Soleimani received a through pass from Sime de Jong, successfully countered offside by Zebina, and shot a powerful shot, which scored directly.
"Okay! Beautiful!"
"The ball is in! Soleimani!"
"This goal gave Ajax a 1-0 lead in this European war."
"Hey! Soleimani's performance not only demonstrated his excellent skills and awareness, but also injected more confidence and motivation into the team."
——
Ajax's leading goal had a positive impact on the game.
The team controlled the rhythm of the game more steadily after scoring and showed its unique offensive style.
The cooperation between the players became more and more tacit, and they continued to attack the Juventus goal.
For Soleimani personally, this goal is also an affirmation of his personal state. He showed excellent speed and flexibility during the game, always posing a threat to opposing defenders.
This goal not only gave Ajax the lead, but also made Soleimani the team's hero.
After Soleimani's leading goal, Ajax's players became more confident. They worked hard to maintain the lead and control the rhythm of the game, while also showing their vigilance for the opponent's subsequent counterattack.
The next step in this game will determine whether Ajax can pull off a victory at home, or whether Juventus can turn the tables.
No matter what the result is, this game will bring a wonderful football feast to the fans.
In the 29th minute of the game, Juventus defender Lello Taglie fouled Ennohe who broke through from the wing and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
This yellow card had some impact on the game, and Juventus' defensive system was damaged to a certain extent.
Lerottaglie is an important piece in Juventus's defense. His position and defensive ability can provide stability and security.
However, receiving a yellow card means that he must respond to every conflict and scramble in the game more carefully to avoid another foul.
The yellow card is a warning and restriction for Lerottaglie and the entire Juventus defense.
They must be more cautious and try to avoid using too fierce physical confrontation to avoid being shown another yellow card by the referee.
This may weaken some control and aggression for them, affecting their ability to limit and block Ajax's attack.
In addition, Lerota's yellow card also gave Ajax's offensive players more opportunities.
They can take advantage of Lerota's restricted form and attack him more often in search of scoring opportunities.
This will increase the pressure and burden on the Juventus defense, and will also increase the possibility of defensive mistakes.
Juventus coach Zaccheroni and the players on the field must be prepared to cope with Lello Taglie being limited.
They need to maintain the stability of the defensive line through reasonable tactical arrangements and adjust the positions and roles of other players to make up for Lerota's limited impact.
At the same time, Juventus players also need to improve their skills and awareness on the defensive end to avoid being shown yellow cards by the referee due to excessive tackles or fouls.
Lello Taglie's yellow card was an important turning point in the game, reminding Juventus players of their responsibilities and limitations during the game.
They need to stay focused and calm to deal with Ajax's increasing offensive threat.
This also adds more suspense and excitement to the subsequent development of the game.
But then, in the 30th minute, on Ajax's side, Soleimani did not retract his elbow during a scramble. The referee was awarded an elbow foul and was given a yellow card.
This yellow card is a warning that cannot be ignored for Ajax, because the referee seems to be looking for a balance, and Soleimani also needs to restrain his actions, otherwise, he may be sent off for another foul at any time.
In addition, Soleimani's yellow card also gave Juventus players a chance to counterattack.
They knew Soleimani was now on warning and might be less willing to fight for fear of being fined again.
Therefore, they may use this opportunity to confront Soleimani more aggressively and even try to lure him into committing another foul to cause problems for their opponents.
For Ajax, they need to stay calm and attack at a reasonable pace under the warning.
They cannot be disturbed by the mistakes of individual players, but need to make up for this lack through overall teamwork and find other channels that can create offensive opportunities.
However, Soleimani's excessive restraint soon brought disadvantages.
A challenge with Chiellini failed, allowing Chiellini to easily pass the football through the midfield.
Felipe Melo and Marchisio gallop together.
The two ran back and forth and passed Dezeu's defense.
In the end, Marchisio quickly passed the ball to the captain of the field, the zebra prince, Del Piero.
The 35-year-old Del Piero has long lost his aura as a son of the wind, and now his style has become - steady, accurate and ruthless!
Facing Toby Alvidreder's defense, Del Piero still showed his spirituality.
He pulled the football back, bounced it up in a street football style, and then knocked the football to Amauri at the back of the goal with his back heel.
Facing the empty goal, Amauri was naturally not polite and pushed the ball steadily!
Both sides are back on the same starting line!
But Stekelenberg just fell in front of the goal at this time. Compared with football, people's speed is indeed too slow.
"We have the ball!"
"The ball went in!"
"Amauri, the score is evened!"
"Hey! This goal is thanks to Del Piero's wonderful pass!"
"Yes, if we rate this goal, Del Piero's pass must account for more than 80%."
"Hehe! And Soleimani, after receiving the yellow card, he was really sneaky. This time it was a direct dialogue between him and Chiellini. He was not decisive enough, which led to Juventus's counterattack goal!"
"Receiving a yellow card does have a great impact on the player's mentality. I hope Soleimani can adjust his mentality as soon as possible. There are still nearly 60 minutes left in the game. Now that both sides are back on the same starting line, it is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Hehe! Yes, players on both sides need to improve their morale, so as to bring a wonderful showdown to the audience and friends!"
The score returned to the same starting line, and players from both sides also chose to exercise restraint.
For a while, the most anxious area on the court was the midfield. Players from both sides were constantly fighting for it, and the ball was constantly changing hands.
In the 42nd minute, Dezeu took the ball and made a fake dunk, passing Sissoko.
Then he protected the ball steadily and continued to pass Marchisio.
This irritated Marchisio, who couldn't grab the ball and pushed Dezeu, staggering him and almost falling to the ground.
The referee immediately stopped the game and showed Marchisio a yellow card.
The game also entered the final period of the first half. Because of Marchisio's foul, the players on both sides became more and more angry.
Sure enough, in the 45th minute, facing the breakthrough of the opponent's legendary captain Del Piero, Olegure directly knocked him down without any courtesy, completely ignoring the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
The referee also gave a yellow card warning!
Beep! ~Beep beep! ~
At the end of the first half, the technical statistics of the two sides were still terrible compared to each other.
Ajax completed an astonishing 11 shots in the first half, 7 of which were on target.
But Buffon only conceded one goal, which is enough to show how powerful the Italian goalkeeper is!
And Juventus only had one goal in the entire first half, and it was Amauri's goal. This efficiency was 100%, which is even more astonishing!
In the second half, Zaccheroni replaced Zebina, who was abused by Soleimani many times in the first half, and replaced him with Grigra, who was more defensively stable.
This intention is also very obvious, and the defensive intensity continued to increase in the second half!
The two sides frequently exchanged the ball in the midfield area at the beginning.
In the 51st minute, Diego was intercepted by Emmanuelson. He immediately counterattacked on the spot and grabbed Emmanuelson's jersey until he could no longer reach the football.
Such behavior cannot be covered up, and the referee decisively showed Diego a yellow card.
So far, the number of yellow cards received by both sides is Ajax 2:3 Juventus, with Juventus slightly better.
But this is not victory-oriented, and there is nothing to be happy about.
In the 57th minute, Emmanuelson blocked Sissoko's breakthrough in the backcourt and awarded Juventus a well-positioned free kick in the frontcourt.
"Diego takes the penalty, okay, he's hanging in..."
"Later..."
"Amauri!"
"The ball went in!"
"Amauri scored twice!"
"Juventus took the lead in the 58th minute!"
"Hehe! The pressure is on Ajax now. Martin Jol is pacing. Should he replace Xiao Yu?"
"Actually, judging from Xiao Yu's return to China for the New Year, his physical condition must not be very good at the moment. He may not even have recovered from the jet lag!"
"Hehe! Yes, it takes more than ten hours to fly from the capital to Amsterdam, plus cars and high-speed trains, it's enough for Xiao Yu."
"From the perspective of protecting young players, it is right not to let Xiao Yu play in this game. After all, there are away games, so there is a possibility of a comeback."
"Hehe! I still think Martin Joel definitely doesn't want to lose. At this moment, he should be struggling with whether he should fight in this match or not!"
