In the 20th minute, Gabri received a pass from Dezeu and he also tried a volley from 25 yards away from the goal. However, it is a pity that Atletico Madrid's young goalkeeper De Gea continued to play his excellent performance and successfully confiscated this threatening shot.

In the 23rd minute, Uyfalusi also made a long shot, but unfortunately, his shot also missed the goal.
In the 26th minute, a mistake by Sim De Jong caused a foul on the right, which gave Atletico Madrid a 36-yard free kick opportunity on the left.

However, once again the football hit the goalpost and bounced out.
However, Diego Forlan on the left did not give up.
He suddenly flashed out 10 yards from the goal and scored the ball.
"The ball went in!"
"Diego Forlan!"
"Atletico leads 1:0!"
"After Ajax was unable to attack for a long time, Atletico Madrid took advantage of a free kick opportunity. Aguero completed a volley. It hit the post and bounced out, and was caught by Diego Forlan who was ambushing on the left. Seized the opportunity and succeeded in one fell swoop. Martin Jol needs to think of a solution. So far in this game, Ajax's forward line seems to have never performed except for Xiao Yu's shot in the opening game. It seems to have disappeared. Same thing."
"Flores's tactical arrangement was indeed promising enough in today's game. Xiao Yu's speed is undoubtedly a highlight, but his space for movement on the court is severely restricted by Flores' carefully arranged defense line. That is, in At the beginning of the game, when everyone was still looking for balance, Xiao Yu seized an opportunity to complete the shot. In the next 20 minutes or so, you can see Uyfalusi, Assuncao, Reyes, and even Lopez sometimes. and Raul Garcia actively defended him, forming a double-team situation. This tactical arrangement not only made it difficult for Xiao Yu to receive the ball, but also made it impossible for him to easily start without the ball, which greatly reduced his Offensive threat.”
"Martin Joel needs to quickly find a way to break the game, and Xiao Yu needs to change his style of play. Flores seems to have found a way to restrain Xiao Yu, and such a situation is very unfavorable to Xiao Yu. Once this happens If his defensive methods are promoted, his threat will become much smaller, which is not good news for his personal development, the development of the team, or even the development of Chinese football. Therefore, Xiao Yu is really You need to work harder!”
"Let's talk about Suarez. Lopez and Domingos in the penalty area almost blocked every offensive path of Suarez. No matter which direction he tried to break through, it was difficult to escape their tight marking. Even if he got through by chance, When the pass deceives one person, another player will follow suit and quickly fill in, again compressing all his space to the extreme. In this process, Suarez's freedom of movement is greatly restricted, and any small movement he makes will be Captured and neutralized by these two defenders. Their defense is like an impenetrable wall, leaving Suarez helpless at the moment."
"Well, Suarez has indeed been invisible for more than 20 minutes and has done nothing."
"As for Pantalic, Luis Perea and Simao are always closely guarding both sides of him, preventing him from breaking through the defense. As a result, most of Ajax's shots can only be shot by midfielders in the penalty area. Finished outside. Although long-range shots are an effective way to break the deadlock, they are also the most difficult to score and are a test of the players’ skills, strength and luck.”
"I have to admit that Flores did his homework for this game. He sent at least three players to defend Xiao Yu, and two more to guard Suarez. In addition, there were two more to guard Pan. Talic. In this way, Flores used a total of seven players, with the purpose of comprehensively limiting Ajax's offensive combination that discouraged many opponents. This tactical arrangement undoubtedly reflects his careful planning and careful planning of the game. Rigorous attitude.”
"Atletico's strategy is undoubtedly brave, however, they also rely on their three excellent attacking players up front. Diego Forlan, Aguero and Raul Garcia's attack makes Ajax's The entire defense did not dare to move forward easily, which relieved the pressure on Atletico Madrid's backcourt players to a certain extent. However, this also meant that Ajax's three offensive players lacked sufficient support when they were on the court. This situation It might weaken Ajax's offensive power significantly."
"The current score is 0:1, and Ajax is facing a situation of lagging behind, so the pressure is naturally greater. How to reverse the situation requires serious consideration by head coach Martin Jol and the players on the field. They need to carefully study the opponent's tactics and find a breakthrough. At the same time, we must also pay attention to maintaining our own tactical discipline and concentration. During the game, players need to give full play to their technical advantages, actively fight, create more opportunities and seize every scoring opportunity. At the same time, they also need to Stay mentally stable, don't be affected by pressure, and believe that you can score goals and win. For Ajax, this is a challenge and an opportunity. If they can overcome difficulties and display their strength, they Hopefully it will work wonders in the game.”

"There is no big problem with the referee's decision. It's just a pity that Sim De Jong scored a goal."
