"Gooooooooal! The goal is Fiorentina's new player this season, Brazilian striker Ronaldo! A beautiful fall-down shovel!" The commentator of the game praised Ronaldo's shot and did not hesitate to saliva at all. "Let's watch the video replay... Originally, Bati's header pass was a little bit bigger, and ordinary players could not reach the position of his shot at the place where Ronaldo started, but this young Brazilian striker completed the attack with his outstanding explosive power!"

"Now Fiorentina is leading with one goal. Can Coach Van Gaal make effective tactical adjustments to let Ajax move back to the disadvantage? Let's wait and see!"

Van Gaal, standing on the sidelines, frowned. Of course, he could see that Fiorentina had been attacking his right side hard, but he had no good idea about it. After all, after the main right back Rezig transferred and left last season, Ajax's right defense has indeed become an obvious weakness, and there is nothing in his hands to make up for this loophole...

When Blinder and Giannikeda took turns to make up for the position, but they could not completely stabilize Ajax's right defense, Van Gaal could not allow more people to assist in defense. After all, there are only a few players who are full-time defending. If they all fill the hole on the right, the rest of the defense line will be weaker. Just like the goal of Fiorentina just showed, after attracting most of Ajax's defensive power to the right, Djokaf's cross directly made the Fiorentina players in the penalty area with more and less. This situation is more dangerous than being beaten on the right...

"Young guys! Bring them all back to me! You can't be suppressed by your opponent!" Van Gaal made a tactical change of attack instead of defense, stood on the sidelines and shouted, asking the team to change its policy and not compete with Fiorentina for the midfield, give full play to Ovemas' speed advantage, so that Fiorentina Wuxia concentrates on attacking his right.

From Van Gaal's coaching resume, we can see that although this Dutch coach is Michels' all-off and defending team, his tactical thinking is more inclined to "all-off" and he neglects a lot of "all-off" work, otherwise he would not always give people a feeling of unstable defense when coaching Barcelona later.

Ranieri on the other side obviously heard Van Gaal's roar. The pot-making maker's temper was obviously not as irritable as Van Gaal. He would not yell at his players in this situation. He just raised his right hand and waved it a few times in the direction of the goal of the team. The meaning was quite clear:

"We will reclaim all of them to participate in the defense, let these Dutchmen attack and we will fight back."

With Ronaldo, a forward with super explosive power and rock-solid defense, and Effenberg, who has excellent long passes, Fiorentina naturally seems more handy when fighting a defensive counterattack.

Although Ajax's players obtained the ball rights, they lacked strong attack ability after Cruivet, Canu and others left, and they had no ability to break through the steel defense made by Fiorentina!

"Look at Fiorentina's defense! The Fiorentine players who took the lead strengthened their defense, but Ajax, who tried to equalize the score, couldn't even find a chance to shoot!"

After falling behind in the score, Ajax strengthened his offense, but as the commentator said, under Fiorentina's tight defense, they could not even find a shot. Ajax's strong offensive ability was not particularly outstanding overall, otherwise he would not have been dragged by AC Milan's defense line that was seriously declining to the end of the game.

After two of the most high and impactful forwards, Cruivet and Kanu, who had the highest and impactful frontcourt, left freely, Ajax could no longer find a forward in the frontcourt who could make goals for his teammates and drill through the defense line.

Litmanning's biggest problem is that it has insufficient impact and is not strong enough. Perhaps in a one-on-one situation, the Finnish Ice Swords can rely on their own skills to make their opponents dizzy, but the Italian team's defense has never simply relied on the personal abilities of a certain player, but a whole well-organized system! In this case, Litmanning, as the sudden arrow, was naturally lost in the Great Wall of Steel in Florence.

So, the next game began to become dull. Ajax basically couldn't find any opportunity in front of Fiorentina's defense. The only gain was that Kripa foul on Corini in the midfield was given a yellow card by the referee because of his excessive move. Although Ovemas could tear open the Fiorentina's defense with his own speed, this move was meaningless when there was no high point to meet in the middle.

What made the whole Ajax team feel embarrassed is that although they have been controlling the ball for this period, they have not even completed one shot. Florence's defensive players will appear on their shooting route in time every time, so that although Ajax has many good long-range shots, such as Lauderup, Ronald Debord, and Litmanning, they still cannot complete the shot easily. Instead, Fiorentina has been threatening their goal with sharp defense. During this period, Ronaldo and Djokaf have all obtained good shooting opportunities, but their luck is a little bad and they are unable to score the second goal in this game.

The game was in the 37th minute of the first half, and Ajax got the first shot of the team after conceding the ball. Ovemas used speed to forcefully break through Bilindley's defense on the left and forced a cross. Filicano's header cleared was not far away. Lauderup got the ball and passed it across the crossbar. Ronald Debor, who was inserted from behind, followed by a powerful shot. As a result, because of the excessive force, the ball flew directly out of the crossbar...

After finally getting a shot, Ajax's morale, which was already declining, increased a little more. After all, long-term attacks cannot even create shots, which can easily impact the players' self-confidence.

So, in the next few minutes, Ajax's players created several more opportunities, but still returned in front of Fiorentina's steely defense.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Van Gaal did not wait for his own players, but instead took the lead in returning to the locker room from the player passage with a stern face. Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
Chapter completed!
