Ajax have not lost to Arsenal in their last five European games.But Ajax are also winless in their last four games against English sides.Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six games against Dutch sides.

Therefore, this game is considered to be a contest between dragons and tigers. Both are good at technology and mainly control the scene. This game will be a grand event that fans can look forward to.

The Arsenal team who rushed to Amsterdam began to adapt to the training on the field, but at this time Wenger had already received a bad news. Henry recovered from his injury during the inspection in the last game. He may not be able to play in this game.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, Wenger rushed to the Amsterdam Stadium with his players. Following the arrival of the Arsenal players, there was a huge noise outside the Amsterdam Stadium. All kinds of insulting slogans were constantly flying towards the Arsenal players, including "Go back to your prison, you executioner" to Li Yuxin.

But at this time, Li Yuxin's courage had been trained to the limit, and he secretly pointed the finger at the fan, and walked into the stadium leisurely talking and laughing with Cesc Fabregas.

After Arsene Wenger returned from the pre-match press conference, he immediately announced the roster for the game. Li Yuxin was the striker, with Bergkamp behind him, Hleb and Ljungberg on the left and right, Flamini and Fabregas partnered on the road, behind Ashley Cole, Toure, Campbell, Eboue, and Almunia replaced Lehmann who was still suspended.

"Midfielders, they use 433. We can control the situation as long as we contain Ajax's field in this game, and they are a technical team, so you try to use your advantages in possession of the ball as much as possible, understand." Wenger asked again.

And Ajax's head coach Blind also announced his personnel: Funke, Grigera, Vermelen, Emmanuelsen, Galasek, Pinar, De Jong, Lindenberg, Bocari, Charisteas, Babel, using a 4-attack lineup.

Under the leadership of Bergkamp, ​​the Arsenal players entered the Amsterdam Stadium, which can accommodate more than 5 people. The huge roaring sound is chilling, but these are already used to professional players. The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage officially started.

Charisteas quickly sent the ball to Babel's feet, and Babel sent the ball to the field, and Ajax began to organize the attack.

Ajax's skills are not good at fineness, but the tactical quality and cooperation of their players are indeed superior. Soon Babel got the ball on the left, and his technique, breakthrough and speed were not inferior to Robben.

Babel swept his eyes and saw a gap. He didn't choose to pass the ball. He rushed directly before Toure came to block and completed a goal, but he didn't hold it down. The ball flew into the stands.The commentator of Ajax sighed.

Soon Arsenal launched a counterattack. Toure dribbled the ball from the backcourt, encountered Babel's interception, sent the ball to Flamini's feet, dribbled the ball from near the circle, and sent it to the frontcourt. Fabregas, who was in the upper position, got the ball. Under his feet, he quickly pulled up as if to respond.

After Li Yuxin got the ball, facing Vermeeren's defense, he made a swipe, as if he was going to pass Vermeeren directly, and then he dunked again, quickly pulling the ball back, and then, when De Jong couldn't react in time, he flicked lightly with his left foot, and the ball passed Ajax's entire defense line.

At this time, because of Bergkamp's pull, a large gap appeared on the left side of Vermeeren in an instant, and Ljungberg's yellow figure quickly caught up.

"G~~~1, Ljungberg, Ljungberg, the first goal of the season opened the door to victory for us." Senke's excited voice resounded over the Amsterdam Stadium, instantly exciting the Arsenal fans who came from afar.

"Thank you, Li." Ljungberg gave Li Yuxin a grateful hug. This season, Ljungberg has been injured and stopped, and it is true that he has not performed as well as in previous seasons.

In the 5th minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead with Ljungberg's goal, and Wenger's dignified face finally relaxed a little.

After being led by Arsenal, Ajax immediately launched a fierce attack. The two wingers were like roulettes with motors, constantly pulling back and forth on both sides of Arsenal, while De Jong and Pinal continued to create murderous intentions with one defense and one attack.

No. 207 minutes into the game, Ajax launched an offensive from the left. After De Jong used his body to resist Fabregas, he sent the ball to the feet of Pienaar, who was in Arsenal's defense line, and quickly counterattacked.

Pienaar used his speed to dribble the ball high, and Flamini behind him tried his best to chase him back. However, the previous space was too large, and he had already burst to the outside of the penalty area. Toure and Flamini finally blocked Pienaar's route at this time.

Pienaar saw that Toure's thigh had blocked him, and glanced away, and saw that someone on his left had raised his arm. Pienaar flicked the inner arch of his right foot, and the ball flew to Babel.

Babel took advantage of Eboue's aggressive mistake, quickly followed Pinar's advance, and quickly stretched out his hand to indicate his position. Pinal and Babel were already quite familiar with the cooperation, and soon sent the ball at this moment. Babel unloaded the ball comfortably and decisively dribbled in.

The moment Eboue saw the ball coming out, his body immediately shoveled, trying to break the ball, but it was too slow to shovel it. Babel had already got the ball one step ahead, and Babel was already in an unguarded position. position, forming a single pole.

Babel took a few steps, took a glance, and looked at Almunia's position. Without any hesitation, he swung his left foot and slammed it heavily on the ball.

Seeing Babel's kick, Almunia subconsciously threw it to the right, judging the direction of the ball. Almunia tried to catch the ball, but the huge force of the ball made his hand slip. The ball immediately rolled out of his hand and rolled directly towards the goal. Almunia was startled and wanted to catch the ball, but it was too late, and the referee's whistle sounded.

"G~~~~~1, Babel, Babel, his shot made Almunia go, we equalized, we equalized." Ajax's commentator celebrated wildly, more than 5 people in the audience crazily vented their excitement, and the red and white jerseys kept dancing.

Seeing Almunia's depressed expression, Campbell went over and patted him on the head and said, "Cheer up, the game is still long."

Looking at the flying Ajax logo on the field, Li Yuxin felt so dazzling: provocative.There is only this word in his head, and now as Li Yuxin participates in more competitions, Li Yuxin's desire for victory is getting stronger and stronger.

After the game restarted, Arsenal's offense was significantly strengthened, and their concentration was significantly enhanced. They took advantage of their possession of the ball.

However, both Li Yuxin's strong shot and Fabregas' long shot were blocked by Ajax's defenders. Although Ajax's strength was not as good as Arsenal's, they won because of their energy and concentration, so Arsenal still couldn't break the deadlock of the game.

In the 309th minute of the game, Arsenal made a mistake in the frontcourt. The ball given by Ljungberg to Bergkamp was intercepted by De Jong. De Jong did not stop the ball and directly passed Arsenal's entire defense with a long pass.

Charisteas and Babel saw De Jong's long pass, like an arrow off the string, galloped out, and played a double ghost hit the door. At this time, only Campbell fell behind them, and everyone else was doing their best. Chase back.

Babel unloaded the ball and advanced high. At this time, there was nothing in front of him. Babel galloped to his heart's content. Campbell hurried over to block Babel. The distance between them was getting closer and closer.

Charisteas has already dribbled the ball into the penalty area quickly, forming a single shot, and Almunia decisively abandoned the goal and tried to block his shooting angle.

Charisteas snatched the moment when Almunia pounced on the ball, and with a light tap of his toe, the ball passed Almunia and rolled into the goal.

"g~~~~1, Teas, Teas turned against us and defended the glory of our Amsterdam Stadium~~~?" The high voice of the Ajax commentator floated on the stadium with the Ajax team logo, and the Ajax fans fell into a huge cheer.

After the "damn" restart, Li Yuxin was like an angry lion at this time, wishing to tear apart Ajax's entire line of defense.Running with all his strength, he constantly twisted Ajax's defense.

After Ajax took the lead, they immediately shrunk their defensive line and tried to minimize the space on the pitch to prevent Arsenal from playing easily.

Li Yuxin saw two guards following him inseparably, and couldn't easily get the ball. Li Yuxin quickly pulled on the road, wanting to take the initiative to ask for the ball, ready to catch the ball and cut inside.

Ashley Cole defended and intercepted Borica's ball, quickly dribbled forward, and after cooperating with Hleb on the field, he quickly cut in and handed it to Fabregas. Fabregas got the ball and took a few steps.

Li Yuxin looked at the defender in front of him, but there was no route. When he heard footsteps behind him, he swept his eyes and saw that Fabregas had already cut in quickly.

At this moment, Fabregas immediately caught up, intercepted the ball, used his own rushing speed, entered the penalty area, attracted two defenders, controlled the ball between De Jong and Emmanuelsen, and then flicked the back of his left foot, and the ball flew out through Emmanuelsen's crotch.

At this time, Li Yuxin used his explosive power to get ahead of Vermeeren and appeared on the ball rolling route. With a light hook of his right foot, he took the ball under his feet and galloped out, quickly throwing away Vermeeren who was catching up.

Seeing Li Yuxin get the ball, Vermeeren cried inwardly: "It's still missed."

After Li Yuxin unloaded the ball, he saw that the opponent's goalkeeper had just shifted his attention to his side, and there was no one in front of him. He simply moved the inner arch of his right foot out, moved the ball to his left foot, and decisively swung his left foot to hit the bottom of the ball.
The huge force caused the ball to almost not spin, and flew straight to the near end of the goal. The ball shot to the dead corner like a sharp blade. In the blink of an eye, Funk had no time to react, and watched the ball straight to the dead corner.

"Aw~~~" Li Yuxin, who had been depressed for half an hour, finally let out a sigh of relief, roared with extreme excitement, and carried Cesc Fabregas to the Arsenal fans' stands to enjoy the cheers.

"g~~~~1, Li~~~, equalized, No.403 minutes, our hero, no one can beat us without him, Li~~~." Senke's shout instantly detonated the emotions of the Arsenal fans in the corner, holding the No. 90 jersey high, and waving it at the arrogant figure.

With the whistle of the referee, the first half ended and the two teams were tied. The players of both sides immediately went to the locker room to rest and listen to the coach's arrangement for the second half.
