PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friends "I am the wilderness" and "The Amazing of Life".

Although in most people's eyes, Koeman's van der Fate in this critical battle and choosing Sneed, who lacks experience, is an unquestionable failure and is likely to be the turning point in the quarter-finals. But in fact, Ajax, who changed the lineup 4-2-3-1, withstood the Fiorentina's offensive after the game began, and launched several quick counterattacks under Sneed's instigation and almost formed a goal, which shocked Fiorentina.

"Hmph, as I imagined, Sneider is more suitable for commanding this team than Van der Fate." Seeing Heinx's solemn appearance on the sidelines, Koeman couldn't help but be proud of his decision. "Although Van der Fate is stronger than Sneider in terms of ability, he is only more threatening in terms of scoring and impact, and his organizational skills are relatively poor. Although Sneider is not as good as Van der Fate in terms of scoring ability and imagination, he can better control the team's game rhythm and mobilize the entire team more reasonably."

However, although Koeman's move caught Florence off guard, his cleverness only brought some trouble to Purple Lily at the beginning of the game. Over time, Fiorentine players who adapted to Sneider's style of playing football began to carry out targeted defenses against him, such as strengthening the physical confrontation, forcing him to make mistakes, or directly breaking the ball under his feet.

After all, Sneijder is just a young seedling under the age of 19. His body is not yet fully mature, and he makes mistakes and concedes the ball when facing pressing from Marklele and Barack and others. What's more, in terms of overall strength, Fiorentina is much stronger than this Ajax team. It is impossible for a Sneijder who is not yet mature to make up for this gap.

"I really can't figure out what this guy Koeman is thinking." Looking at Sneijder, who was in a mess under the care of Marklele, Barack and others and had to rely on his feet to move around the encirclement, Zhuang Mingge shook his head in his heart and thought, "Although Sneijder is indeed more suitable to be the midfield organizer than Van der Fate, and the linkage effect with Ibrahimovic is better, there is no need for him to put Van der Fate on the bench for this. If Van der Fate is moved to the wing and let him play the guest front guard, then Fiorentina's defense line may have to bear even greater pressure. After all, although Maxville and Pasaning can be considered good at attacking and defending, they are not as strong as Van der Fate, and their role is quite limited."

"But that's good. Without Van der Fate, Ajax's threatening point would be less, and Fiorentina's chances of winning in this game were much more likely." Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingge's face couldn't help but be full of expectations. Although Fiorentina held the Big Ear Cup five times after Zhuang Mingge took over, he never felt satisfied. He always hoped to see the team reach the top of Europe again.

At this time, another commander of Ajax on the court, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, stood up, took over the command from Sneijder, and helped the team stabilize their position, dispelling the intention of Fiorentine players to take advantage of the situation. However, despite this, Ajax's loss in the midfield was still a sluggish fact, and this naturally caused them a lot of trouble.

In the 30th minute of the first half, Carlos broke through Van der Mede and Trabelsi's defenses with the cooperation of Pirlo and Vincent and cut into the penalty area. O'Brien, who rushed to make up for defense, did not want to vacate Vieri behind him. The latter immediately received Carlos' cross from his left foot and shot through the net, one-to-zero!

Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind in the score, the Ajax players did not panic or were eager to recover the score. Instead, they continued to play according to the tactics arranged before the game under the command of Ibrahimovic and Sneijder, as if Vieri's goal had not happened at all.

"Ajax is so lucky that he has three talented and mature genius players, Van der Fat, Sneider and Ibrahimovic. " Seeing the Ajax player's calm performance, Karin couldn't help but exclaim, "If nothing unexpected happens, in time, these three will definitely become important star players in international football."

"Now isn't the time to sigh at these things, right?" Zhuang Mingge, who found that there was no one-sided trend in the game, said with a wry smile. It was indeed beyond his expectations that Ajax was so tough in this game. "I originally thought that they would lose their positions after losing the ball, so as to give us an opportunity to take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, these guys were so powerful and so quickly, they walked out of the shadow of losing the ball. And in terms of tactical execution, it was impossible to tell that this was a team mainly composed of young players."

Sure enough, shortly after the game entered the second half, Ajax tied the score in an offense - Ibrahimovic shook continuously on the left side of the penalty area, attracted Nesta and Zambrota to double-team and then passed back to the middle. Sneijder, who followed up, raised his right foot and flicked a shot, cleverly missed the ball to Pinal who was circumventing. The latter shot the goal from the far corner on the penalty area line, rewriting the score to a one-to-one tie!

After Pinal scored a goal to equalize for Ajax, although both players got some good scoring opportunities in the following time, unfortunately, none of them could seize these opportunities and turn them into goals one by one.

However, just as the Ajax people started to prepare for overtime, Diego Milito, who appeared as a substitute in Inzaghi, instantly scored a goal to knock the away team into the bottomless abyss. In the first minute of the injury stoppage time, Barack's heavy artillery shot outside the penalty area was knocked out by Lobonte. Milito, who was ambushing in the penalty area, got the opportunity ball first before Lugano cleared the ball and stabbed the ball into Ajax's goal with one kick!

In this way, with Inzagi's golden goal, Fiorentina, who played at home, finally defeated Ajax 2-1 in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, eliminating the Dutch giant!
