This is one of the tactics Martin Jol laid out before the game.
Van der Veer and Dezeu both have a pass.
When the opportunity arose, Vandeveer, who had just made an observation, saw the football rolling towards him and drove the football to the left side of the frontcourt with one kick.
There is a player they trust most - Xiao Yu!
Fulham's back line are all in their twenties and twenties, in their prime.
But when they encountered Xiao Yu, who had an obvious speed advantage, they seemed a little powerless.
When the football came flying, Xiao Yu rushed out from behind Hangerland.
When Xiao Yu received the football, the gap between him and Hangeland was more than three meters.
Xiao Yu did not stop the ball and chose to move the football towards the front court.
Although the position is far off, Xiao Yu's single sword is certain.
Because it was only three minutes into the game, Xiao Yu did not rush to the middle, but quickly went down the side road.
This choice allows Xiao Yu to reach the threat area as quickly as possible.
Suarez and Eriksen in the center, Soleimani on the right, and Emmanuelson behind Xiao Yu also started simultaneously, pushing towards the hinterland of Fulham's penalty area.
Xiao Yu rushed to the baseline and made a low pass with his left foot.
Suarez and Eriksen sprinted together.
Soleimani also sprinted back.
Suarez is also a fast horse. In one sprint, he almost got rid of Aaron Hughes who was guarding him.
At this time, football has come to him.
And he just arrived.
So, he raised his leg and shot!
The entire audience held their breath, as if they were afraid that one breath of their own would affect the flight path of the football.
However, the goal did not go in.
Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer actually blocked the football, and then quickly hugged the football tightly, pressing it under him, not giving the Ajax player a chance to make a follow-up shot.
Schwarzer's beautiful save was met with applause from head coach Hodgson on the sidelines as a sign of encouragement.
In fact, both teams have gained something in this game. Ajax’s opponent in three days’ time is PSV Eindhoven, currently ranked second in the Eredivisie, while Fulham will be away to Old Trafford in three days’ time. To play against Manchester United, who are at the top of the Premier League.
The head coaches of both teams also need to save some energy for the next game.
So in this game, neither side issued a desperate order. After all, this Europa League game is divided into two rounds: home and away.
At the 7th minute, Eriksen found Xiao Yu with an overhead pass.
Xiao Yu once again showed his speed advantage that the opponent's defender could not match, and once again left Hangerland behind in just one sprint.
This time, Xiao Yu chose to go to the middle.
Because the diagonal line runs longer than the Fulham midfielder's retreating players, although Xiao Yu is fast enough, the opponent's three defenders have basically returned to their defense.
In addition to Aaron Hughes, who is closely guarding Suarez, Greening and Konchesky have blocked Xiao Yu's path.
However, they didn't know that Xiao Yu had an S-level skill - cutting inside without any solution.
Facing Greening, Xiao Yu directly cut inside without any solution. Just like Robben, Greening knew Xiao Yu was going to cut inside, but he was powerless. He couldn't reach Xiao Yu at all.
Konchesky immediately pressed forward, and Xiao Yu followed up with a fried ball and went to the right again.
After passing Konchesky, Xiao Yu did not go any further, but just flicked the football with his right foot and fired a powerful shot.
"Xiao Yu shoots!~"
"The ball went in!~~"
"Xiao Yu received Eriksen's overhead pass and quickly drove into the middle. After passing two opposing defenders, he fired a long shot to open the scoring for Ajax."
"Hey! I've got a good start!"
At this time, Xiao Yu was thinking in his mind that he had spent another 100 points and found a way to earn them back!
However, he was not idle. After scoring the goal, he rushed to the edge of the court, opened his arms, and showed that he was coming as the king!
In the 25th minute, a stunning scene happened in Fulham's penalty area.
Xiao Yu, wearing a red jersey, completed an exquisite one-two with Uruguayan striker Suarez.
Suarez has a keen sense of smell, timely inserted into the opponent's defense line, and received Xiao Yu's precise pass.
He deftly moved his feet and easily deceived the ball, then turned around at an unexpected speed and completely passed goalkeeper Schwarzer.
At this moment, Schwarzer's reaction was too late. He watched helplessly as the ball rolled into the empty goal.
The audience responded with thunderous applause and cheers for this wonderful goal.
Xiao Yu and Suarez, who completed this wonderful cooperation, also became the focus of the field.
Their quick response and superb technology amaze people.
Xiao Yu scored twice. Not surprisingly, he will also become the best player of the game.
Suarez's outstanding performance once again proved that he is worthy of the title of "Magic Striker".
This wonderful cooperation and goal will undoubtedly remain in people's memory forever and become a good story on the football field.
As Xiao Yu once again opened his arms to show off his celebratory gesture for the coming of the king, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly.
But I was thinking in my heart: If I add one more, this one will be enough!
But Fulham is not entirely a soft persimmon.
In the 35th minute of the game, Ajax's midfielder made a fatal mistake. Simon Davis, with quick eyes and quick hands, quickly stole the ball and started a counterattack.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the game became tense instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Welsh midfielder.
Davis is worthy of being a master of counterattacks. He quickly passed the ball to Damien Duff. Duff was not afraid after receiving the ball. Facing the opponent's defense, he cleverly made a series of fake moves to get away. gained space and then passed the ball to Zoltan Guerra.
After Guerra received the ball, he immediately started and rushed towards the opponent's penalty area with the ball at high speed.
When Guerra was about to approach the penalty area, he passed the ball to Etuhu who was in the open position.
After receiving the ball, Etuhu shot the ball towards the goal without hesitation.
The force and angle of the ball were extremely precise, flying directly into the blind spot, leaving the opponent's goalkeeper unable to react, and Fulham regained a victory.
The few Fulham fans in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena burst into cheers, and many Ajax fans applauded. They applauded Etuhu's wonderful performance and also Moved by Fulham’s resilience.
At this moment, not only the efforts of the Fulham players were rewarded, but it was also a perfect display of Etuhu's personal ability.
This goal will undoubtedly add fuel to this already exciting game.
Because he had to save energy to deal with PSV Eindhoven three days later, Xiao Yu did not attack Fulham's defense too much.
The current score of 2:1 is very favorable to Ajax. With this score going to the away game, Ajax can have a great advantage and not be as passive as before against Juventus in the away game.
However, the beauty of football lies in its uncertainty and drama.
At the tense moment when the first half was about to end, Xiao Yu, the player who played at the core of the offense, received Eriksen's well-timed through pass and got rid of Konchesky and Hangland. Germany's defense successfully countered offside and rushed towards the opponent's goal like an arrow.
This pass is part of Eriksson's carefully planned offensive tactics.
With his deep understanding of the game and precise observation, he caught the opponent's defender's momentary negligence on the defensive line and passed the ball to the unguarded position.
Xiao Yu understood it, he accurately judged the trajectory of the ball, and successfully countered offside with an efficient running method, throwing away Konchesky and Hangeland.
Facing this quick-reacting and experienced goalkeeper, Xiao Yu did not underestimate him.
However, he used his speed and sensitivity to knock down the attacking Schwarzer with a beautiful fake move, fake shot and real dunk. Schwarzer could no longer stop his progress.
Then, facing the empty goal, he pushed the ball calmly and steadily into the opponent's goal.
"The ball went in!~"
"Xiao Yu completed a hat trick at the last minute of the first half!"
"This game is a little difficult for Fulham!"
"Hey! Xiao Yu and the others can't guard against it!"
This goal not only changed the score to 3:1, but also ignited the atmosphere of the entire stadium instantly.
The cheers from the audience came like a tide, and they cheered for Xiao Yu's wonderful performance.
After Xiao Yu scored, he excitedly rushed to the corner area, opened his arms, and showed that he was coming as the king.
Eriksen also rushed over and hugged Xiao Yu tightly to celebrate this key goal.
This goal is the result of perfect collaboration between Eriksen and Xiao Yu, and it is also a reflection of their team's overall strength and team spirit.
It also highlights why Shi Xuanjun, who was promoted to the first team with them, can only sit on the bench now, while they can start.
The cooperation between the two is a goal and an assist, but Shi Xuanjun is on the top and crossbar. These gaps are real. The fans can see it, the teammates on the field can see it, and the head coach Martin Jol can also see it. Got to see.
Beep! ~Beep beep! ~
The referee blew three whistles to end the first half.
The first half of the game was undoubtedly perfect for Ajax. The score of 3:1 was enough to seal the victory. Therefore, Xiao Yu also clocked out at the suggestion of Martin Jol to prepare for the game against PSV Eindhoven three days later. Prepared for the game.
What only Elena knew was that Xiao Yu's preparation for the competition was to take a hot bath and play the sweet music with Elena...
In the second half of the game, because Fulham would face the league's No. 1 Manchester United three days later, and there was no hope of a comeback in this game, they did not choose to continue too many attacks, so that Fulham only had 5 shots in the entire game. Shoot.
Although Ajax did not really start bombarding, Suarez continued to expand the score to 4:1 in the 68th minute, which also caused Fulham to commit 25 fouls.
