Chapter 634 Gu Ran’s iconic goal! Time is running out for Ajax!

Ajax, who fell behind again, accelerated the pace of their attack.

The offensive and defensive transition speed of both sides became extremely fast.

This is actually not very beneficial to Southampton. Although Southampton has the world-class and fast Gu Ran, Southampton's basic tactic is defensive counterattack. The rhythm of defensive counterattack is a combination of fast and slow. It's the counterattack, the slow one is the defense, and now that Southampton is affected by Ajax, the offensive and defensive rhythms are very fast, so things can easily go wrong.

Sure enough, in the 38th minute, Ajax's Soleimani used his personal skills to get rid of Mikel, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, turned around and passed back. Captain Sime de Jong, who was following in the back row, rushed up and shot directly. ——The ball hit Davis' arm and bounced into the net!
The ball went in!
Ajax tied the score again in the first half!

The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten as Southampton 2:2 Ajax!

This Europa League final is really exciting and beautiful!
Both sides played at the highest level of their teams.

Ajax was originally a team that qualified for the Champions League. They were placed in the group of death in the Champions League group stage and only finished third in the group. Then they were postponed to the Europa League play-offs and passed the knockout rounds of the play-offs. In the finals.

As for the Southampton team, they fought hard all the way and relied on their dark horse strength to reach this point.

It will not be a surprise for either of these two teams to win the Europa League championship.

In the rest of the first half, the physical fitness of both sides reached a bottleneck period, especially Ajax.

Because Ajax had to catch up with the trailing score, they naturally worked very hard, and their own full offense, full defense, full-court press, and passing and controlling flow were very energy-consuming.

Therefore, although on the surface it seems that Ajax is playing against Southampton, in fact, Ajax may not be able to last until the end in this state.

Once physical fitness collapses, Southampton will definitely seize the opportunity.

Ajax naturally understands this, so Ajax really wants to lead Southampton by a big score early.

but……

There were three minutes of injury time in the first half. Both sides had wonderful performances from each other, but neither side was able to expand the score.

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the two sides temporarily shook hands with each other at 2:2.

Players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms to rest and adjust.

After the 15-minute intermission, the two sides came on stage again, changing sides and fighting again.

After making adjustments, Southampton significantly strengthened the contention in the midfield and frontcourt and controlled the rhythm of defense.

This makes Ajax very uncomfortable.

The physical energy of both sides is being consumed rapidly and massively.

In the 61st minute, Southampton took the lead in seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

The pair of midfielders Gu Ran and Mikel jointly strangled Soleimani who was holding the ball. Before Soleimani could pass the ball, he was roughly knocked to the ground by Mikel. Poor Suleiman Nick is 177cm tall and only weighs 65kg. He is a typical technical forward and cannot withstand Mikel's collision.

Soleimani was rolling on the turf while eagerly reaching out to the referee to complain.

However, the referee did not pay attention to Soleimani's complaint. The referee believed that this was a reasonable physical contact in football.

Gu Ran took the opportunity to sprint, picked up the football Soleimani lost, and then took a big step and performed a classic overtaking from the outside. After passing two Ajax players who intercepted the ball, he passed the ball to three Myself seconds later.

Gu Ran pushed forward at high speed along the left wing, and Chamberlain also used all his speed to switch positions in the middle to outflank him. Gu Ran made a Cruyff turn near the baseline, shook away almost the entire Ajax defense, and hit a precise half-high ball in front of Chamberlain's face!
Chamberlain didn't even think about it, didn't even adjust, he just flew up and hit him hard!
Ajax's goalkeeper is helpless!

The ball went in!
Southampton used an exquisite cooperation, assisted by Gu Ran, and Chamberlain scored with a header!

This is the second time Gu Ran and Chamberlain have connected with Gu Zhang in today's game!

Ajax's superb coordination on Southampton's left wing, without any temper at all!
The score on the big screen was immediately rewritten as Southampton 3:2 Ajax!
In this Europa League finals, the two teams have jointly contributed 5 goals, and there is still half an hour of game time. Judging from this, it is basically a certainty that the total number of goals will exceed 7. .

You know, this is the Europa League finals. Generally, there will be no big goals in the finals. Most teams will play very cautiously in the finals, but Ajax played like crazy. , Southampton played even crazier.

Fans on both sides were thoroughly entertained.

Of course, having fun is not the goal, winning in the end is the goal.

Ajax, who fell behind again, stepped up their attack again.

But this time, Ajax has reached the point of decline and exhaustion.

Ajax's tactics are very gorgeous and very passionate, but the problem is that it consumes too much physical energy.

If the opponent cannot be defeated during the period of stable physical fitness, then Ajax will easily collapse at about 80 minutes.

In terms of mentality, Southampton, which has the lead, plays steadily, while Ajax is very impatient.

This impatience soon paid a greater price.

In the 72nd minute, after Gu Ran attracted the siege of at least four Ajax players, Matthews opened a narrow gap with his shoulders. Gu Ran used the gap to pass the ball straight to Salah. Salah He protected the ball perfectly, but was tackled directly to the ground by the rushing Ajax defender.

Salah rolled on the turf holding his ankles.

The referee showed a yellow card to the Ajax defender and awarded Southampton a free kick 38 meters away from the goal.

Southampton fans instantly became excited.

Salah also quickly got up and jogged towards Gu Ran to celebrate Gu Ran's goal in advance.

Ajax fans were puzzled and didn't understand where the Southampton fans' confidence came from.

Gu Ran stood at the penalty spot and stared at the strong area of ​​the wall with his signature sharp eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran took a running approach and swung his legs in one go!
The football is like a full-moon scimitar. After bypassing the strong area of ​​​​the wall, it falls quickly!
The Ajax goalkeeper was stunned!
Full Moon Scimitar + Deadly Elevator!

The ball went in!
The score on the big screen was rewritten as Southampton 4:2 Ajax!

All the Southampton fans in the stands jumped up and cheered!

The Ajax fans held their heads in shock and couldn't believe their eyes.

Now, there is not much time left for Ajax!
