Although Koeman's hiding of van der Vaart in this crucial battle in favor of the inexperienced Sneijder was, in most eyes, an unquestionable failure that could very well be the quarter-final turning point.But in fact, Ajax, which changed to 4-2-3-1, withstood Fiorentina's offensive after the start of the game, and launched several quick counterattacks under Sneijder's instigation and almost scored a goal. , making Florence break out in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, as I expected, Sneijder is more suitable for commanding this team than Van der Vaart." Seeing Heynckes' dignified look on the sidelines, Koeman couldn't help but wonder for him. He was proud of this decision, "Although Van der Vaart is stronger than Sneijder in terms of ability, he is only more threatening in terms of scoring and impact, and his organizational skills are relatively poor. Although Sneijder is in scoring ability and imagination He is not as powerful as van der Vaart, but he can better control the team's game rhythm and mobilize the whole team more reasonably."

However, although Koeman's change caught Fiorentina by surprise, his cleverness only caused some trouble for Viola at the beginning of the game.As time went on, the Fiorentina players who adapted to Sneijder's style of play began to launch targeted defenses against him, such as increasing the intensity of physical confrontation, forcing him to make mistakes, or directly breaking the ball under his feet.

After all, the current Sneijder is just a young seedling under the age of [-], and his body is not yet fully mature. When facing the press of Makelele and Ballack, the phenomenon of making mistakes and conceding the ball is really serious. Nothing could be more normal.What's more, in terms of overall strength, Fiorentina is much stronger than this Ajax team, and it is impossible for an immature Sneijder alone to make up for this gap.

"I really don't know what this guy Coman is thinking." Looking at Sneijder, who was in a mess under the care of Makelele, Ballack and others, and had to rely on his feet to move around in the encirclement, Zhuang Mingge shook his head in his heart and thought, "Although Sneijder is indeed more suitable as a midfield organizer than Van der Vaart, and the linkage effect with Ibrahimovic is better, there is absolutely no need for him to put Van der Vaart on the other side. On the bench. If van der Vaart is moved to the wing and allowed him to play as a left midfielder, then Fiorentina's defense line may be under even greater pressure. After all, although Maxwell and Pasanin can be regarded as offensive Good defense, but they are not as strong as van der Vaart, and their role is quite limited."

"But this is also good. Without van der Vaart, Ajax will have one less threat point, and the possibility of Fiorentina winning this game will be much higher." Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingge's face can't help but be full of expected.Although Fiorentina won the Big Ears Cup five times after Zhuang Mingge took over, he has never been satisfied with it, and always hopes to see the team reach the top of Europe again.

At this time, another commander of Ajax on the field, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, stepped forward, took over the command from Sneijder, and helped the team stabilize The position dispelled the intention of the Fiorentina players to take advantage of the fire.However, despite this, Ajax's loss of power in midfield is still a sluggish fact, and this has naturally caused them no small problem.

In the No.30 minute of the first half, with the cooperation of Pirlo and Vincent, Carlos broke through the defense of Van der Meyde and Trabelsi and then cut into the penalty area. Vieri, the latter then received a cross from Carlos and shot through the net with his left foot, one to zero!

Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind, the Ajax players did not panic or rush to recover the score. Instead, under the command of Ibrahimovic and Sneijder, they continued to play the game according to the tactics arranged before the game, as if just now. It's as if the goal in the game never happened.

"Ajax is so lucky to have van der Vaart, Sneijder and Ibrahimovic at the same time, three talented young and seasoned talented players." Seeing the calm performance of the Ajax players, Karin couldn't help but admire, "No If anything goes wrong, with time, these three will surely become important star players in international football."

"Isn't it time to lament these things?" Zhuang Mingge, who found that the game was not one-sided, said with a wry smile. Ajax's toughness in this game was indeed beyond his expectations. "I thought they were losing After the ball, they will mess up and give us an opportunity. Who would have thought that these guys are so powerful at such a young age, and they walked out of the shadow of conceding the ball so quickly. And in terms of tactical execution, they are also It doesn't look like it's a team that's dominated by young players."

Sure enough, shortly after the game entered the second half, Ajax equalized the score in an attack-Ibrahimovic continued to shake on the left side of the penalty area, and returned after attracting Nesta and Zambrotta to double-team In the middle, Sneijder, who followed up, lifted his right foot and feinted a shot, and cleverly missed the ball to Pienaar, who was outflanking. A flat!

After Pienaar scored the equalizer goal for Ajax, although both players got some good scoring chances in the following time, unfortunately, none of them were able to take advantage of them. Opportunities, turn them into goals.

However, just as the Ajax people began to prepare for overtime, Diego Milito, who came on as a substitute for Inzaghi, instantly sent the visiting team into the bottomless abyss with a goal-injury compensation In the first minute of the time period, Ballack was punched out by Lobonte's double fists at the heavy bombardment outside the penalty area. Milito, who was ambushing in the penalty area, got the chance ball before Lugano's big foot cleared the siege, and kicked Poked the ball into the gate of Ajax!

In this way, with Inzaghi's golden goal, Fiorentina, who played at home, finally defeated Ajax [-]-[-] in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals. The Dutch giants were eliminated!

At this time, no one except Zhuang Mingge himself could have predicted that this would be the last outstanding season of Ajax, a club with a long history and glorious past.After that, although Ajax also cultivated well-known stars such as Vermaelen and Vertonghen, there was no breakthrough in the team's honor and record, and at most it was a mess in the Champions League Familiar, never reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League or later stages.
