Dzeko has a height of 193, while Vergentong is only 189, and Toby Alverdere is only 187. The two defenders of Dzeko will definitely not be able to contain him from the height.
Martin Joel scratched his head, which didn't have much hair. He really wanted to think of something.
——
On the night of April 1st in Amsterdam, a star-studded football battle is about to begin.
The two teams, Ajax and Wolfsburg, each carrying their honors and dreams, started a duel at Ajax's luxurious home stadium, the Amsterdam Arena.
The camera slowly zoomed in, focusing on a young football star - Xiao Yu.
His eyes were firm and cold, like the twinkling stars on the Amsterdam Arena.
Xiao Yu is the soul of Ajax today. His speed, skills and keen intuition make him the core of the team's offense.
At the same time, there is another shining player in the Ajax team - Luis Suarez.
His name represents terrifying scoring ability in European football.
Every move he makes, whether it's running, passing or shooting, exudes an unparalleled aura.
In this game, there is another eye-catching focus-Edin Dzeko.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina forward is known for his height and strength on the pitch, his presence is like an insurmountable mountain.
Every move he makes is full of power and confidence.
"CCTV! CCTV! Good morning, all fans and friends! We are about to bring you a showdown in the top 8 of the 2009-2010 Europa League. The Eredivisie leader Ajax will face the defending champion Wanderers from the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg. I am Duan Xuan, and I am guided by my partner Tao Weitao."
"Good morning, fans, my name is Tao Wei!"
"Coach Tao, you are familiar with the Bundesliga teams. What do you think the winning rate of the two teams is in this game?"
"Wolfsburg was really amazing last season. They beat Bayern Munich by 2 points and won the first Bundesliga championship in the team's history. However, last season was also a season with big ups and downs for Bayern. They lost the championship. The main reason was also the 1:5 defeat to Wolfsburg. In that game, Dzeko, the arrowhead of their team, played a very important role. He won the best of the game with two passes and two shots."
"What Coach Tao means is that whether Ajax can seal Wolfsburg at home in this game depends on whether they can limit Dzeko's performance."
"Yes, Dzeko is indeed the biggest threat to Ajax in this game. But to be honest, Ajax still has a better chance of winning this game. Xiao Yu is currently in the limelight, and Suarez is not inferior at all. Yu Dzeko is a striker, and there are Vergentong and Toby Alveeder in the backcourt. Belgium has also been growing rapidly in recent years. Although these two are young, they have already reached world-class standards. , maybe it can really limit Dzeko's offense."
"Well, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams."
"For Ajax, Martin Jol deployed a 4-3-3 formation today."
"Goalkeeper No. 1 Dutch national goalkeeper Stekelenberg."
"Double central defender No. 5 Verhentong partners with No. 19 Toby Alverdere."
"The two full-backs No. 2 Van der Wiel and No. 23 Anita are guest-starring at left back."
"Double defensive midfielder No. 8 Emmanuelson partners with No. 40 Demi Dezeu."
"No. 18 Spanish veteran Gabri is the attacking midfielder."
"The three forward partners are No. 7 Xiao Yu, No. 10 Soleimani and No. 16 Luis Suarez at the front."
"Martin Jol's formation is really focused on defense. It is rare to have 6 defenders at one time. This is enough to pay enough attention to the defending Bundesliga champions who came from afar."
"Well! It is true that Ajax rarely plays four backs and two midfielders this season, and they do pay enough attention to Wolfsburg. Let's take a look at Wolfsburg's starting lineup for the away game."
"Wolfsburg's coach Koestner has a 5-3-2 formation."
"Goalkeeper No. 1 Swiss national goalkeeper Benario is 1.94 meters tall and only 27 years old."
"The five defenders are No. 17 Madlen, No. 20 Sasha Ritter, No. 43 Italian international Barzagli, No. 4 Schaefer and No. 19 Pekarik."
"The three midfielders are equipped with No. 10 Misimovic, No. 7 Josue, and No. 25 Gentner."
"Double forward No. 23 Grafite and No. 9 Edin Dzeko."
"Wolfsburg's forward combination is a typical old-new partnership. The Brazilian forward Grafite has the skills and experience, and the Bosnian forward has the body and speed."
"Moreover, both of them are tall and strong, so they have a great advantage in height."
"It depends on how Ajax defends their air attack today."
Ajax played a bit cautiously in this game, and they started the game from front to back, but Wolfsburg was not in a hurry and just kept their formation stable to guard against Ajax's sudden attack.
However, Xiao Yu has no such idea. Now he has scored 10 goals in the European War, temporarily ranking first in the Europa League scorer list.
However, Pizarro, who scored 9 goals in second place, has already left the Europa League. The biggest threat to his first place is Valencia's David Villa. This Spanish international has already completed 6 goals. ball. It is better to gain more to be stable.
So Xiao Yu was the first variable for Ajax today. As soon as Gabri got the ball, Xiao Yu had already distanced himself from the opponent's defender Barzagli, and shouted "Lao Ga!" to Gabri in Chinese.
Gabri actually saw Xiao Yu early, and when he heard his shouting, he was even more sure that Xiao Yu was ready, so he passed the ball to Xiao Yu from midfield.
Barzagli quickly turned around and tried to block Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu's shadow was nowhere to be seen. Xiao Yu had already run away from him seven or eight steps away.
Barzagli wanted to pursue him at this time, but was already beyond his reach.
Just turn and run towards the goal, hoping to block the passing route that Xiao Yu may choose.
Pekarik on the wing couldn't just watch Xiao Yu break into the penalty area, he could only give up his defensive position and chase Xiao Yu.
The football flies much faster than people. Before they could catch up with Xiao Yu, the football had already arrived.
Facing the incoming ball, Xiao Yu stopped his chest, removed the football, and before the football hit the ground, he kicked the ball towards the ball.
The huge force makes the football fly with wind.
This goal really tested Benario's personal ability, but as the Swiss national goalkeeper, he does have unique skills.
Xiao Yu's shot was powerful and heavy. Benario did not choose to hug it. Instead, he used an action similar to that in a volleyball game. He made fists with both hands and lifted the football upwards.
With the power of Xiao Yu's shot, the football crossed the crossbar perfectly and flew out of the baseline.
Ajax also received their first corner kick.
Gabri takes the corner kick.
Ajax players also pressed forward aggressively, leaving only Verhentong and Van der Wiel in the backcourt.
The corner kick was taken, and the football, with some spin, drew a wonderful arc and flew towards Wolfsburg's penalty area.
"Header!"
"The ball went in!"
"Toby Alvidreder!"
"In the 8th minute of the first half, Ajax's knife-wielding defender opened the scoring for the team."
"This ball is really difficult. There are a lot of people in Wolfsburg's penalty area, but most of them choose to defend Ajax's offensive players. You like Xiao Yu and Suarez are surrounded by at least two people. Pinch defense. But they just ignored Ajax's defenders. There was only one 169-meter-tall Josue next to Alvidreder, which caused them a big loss."
"Conceding an early goal is not a good sign for Wolfsburg."
"It depends on how Dzeko and Grafit come to break the situation."
After scoring, Alvidreder rushed to the sidelines excitedly, roaring wildly.
His teammates also ran up to celebrate with him.
After grabbing the ball to start the game, Martin Jol jumped up excitedly. His body of more than 200 kilograms continued to add pressure to the court on the sidelines.
In the 13th minute, Gabri broke in again with the ball.
Gabri got the ball in the midfield and began to move forward with the ball at an incredible speed through the opponent's defense.
This was another time he showed his excellent ball-handling skills and speed in the game.
Gabri found space in Ajax's front three.
In Ajax's frontcourt, the Trident began a cross movement, hoping to create a gap.
Gabri was keenly aware of this opportunity. He successfully found Suarez in Ajax's front trident, and he found this gap.
This allowed people to see Gabri's extraordinary vision and passing skills.
Gabri's through ball found Suarez in the penalty area.
Gabri found Suarez in the penalty area with a through ball.
The angle of this pass is very precise, allowing Suarez to easily connect and further threaten the opponent's goal.
This pass fully demonstrated Gabri's important role in the team. He not only has the ability to score, but also has excellent passing skills.
After Suarez received a pass from Gabri, he faced the defense of Sasha Ritter and Madren.
He used his physical confrontation and flexible footwork to successfully get rid of the opponent's defense.
This breakthrough and shot showed Suarez's skills and calm mentality, which made the fans cheer.
Suarez, who broke through the defense, faced the goal and completed the shot with a push.
However, goalkeeper Benario was in extraordinary form today.
He showed super reaction speed and excellent saving skills.
Facing Suarez's shot, Benario made a decisive side dive and successfully blocked the football from the goal.
His performance drew admiration from the audience and made the Ajax players feel a little regretful.
After Benario's save, Ajax right back Schaefer quickly rushed towards the goal.
He realized that Ajax's offensive threat was not over yet and the ball was still in the dangerous area, so he did not hesitate to kick the football out of the penalty area with a moderately powerful kick.
