On October 19, Ajax will usher in the third round of the Champions League group stage, and their opponent in this round is the Portuguese Super League giant Benfica, which is also the strongest team in this group.

After all, in terms of points from the European War, the Portuguese Super League is ranked sixth behind Ligue 1, and it has sometimes surpassed Ligue 1 and reached the fifth position.

Benfica has performed very well in the Portuguese Super League in recent years and also performed well in the Champions League.

Therefore, Ten Hag attaches great importance to this Champions League group stage.

In the 8th round of the league three days before the group stage, Ten Hag made another half rotation, and Lin Kedi was among the rotation.

In this league match, Ajax plays at home against Sparta Rotterdam.

The opponent is also a strong team in the Eredivisie, but its performance and status this season are very average. After 7 league rounds, it ranks last in the league.

This is also the reason why Ten Hahe dares to rotate.

And the players rotated in this game did not disappoint.

Czerny scored 2 goals, Sim-De Jong had a long shot, and finally Kluivert also scored 1 goal.

It is worth mentioning that Mazrawi, who had had contact with Lin Kedi before, was also promoted to the first team again. He was substituted at the 80th minute of this game, although only about 10 minutes were left.

, but Mazrawi’s performance is still remarkable.

Ten Hag even has the idea of ​​letting Mazraoui enter the first team directly. After all, the team's right back Feltman is really okay to play in the Eredivisie, no - facing the other two strong players in the Eredivisie.

During the match between Inho and Feyenoord, Feltman was not very good.

So when Ten Hahe saw that Mazraoui performed well in this game, he made a decision.

However, it is impossible to let Feltman be the substitute all at once. After all, he is the captain, and Ten Hahe has just arrived. Although he won an unexpected championship, his foundation is not stable, so Ten Hahe also decided to take it slowly.

.

However, no matter what, after this league match, Mazrawi officially entered the first team.

Ajax then went to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to challenge this European giant team.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal. It is the westernmost city in Europe and the most famous city in Southern Europe. It is a tourist city and the political, economic, cultural and educational center of Portugal. At the same time, Lisbon is also an international seaport and a famous industrial city.

.

In this city, there are two world-famous teams, one is Sporting CP, and the other is Benfica, Ajax’s opponent in this round.

Benfica's home stadium is the Stadium of Light, where the 2014 Champions League final was held.

This stadium can accommodate more than 66,000 people, which is larger than the Amsterdam Arena. It looks spectacular.

Benfica's formation for this game is 433.

The goalkeeper is Sverrier, the defense from left to right is Grimaldo, Ruben Dias, Luison and Douglas, the three midfielders are Augusto, Fessa and Pizzi. The three forwards are Gonzo.

Salvez, Raul Jimenez and Salvio.

Ajax still has a 4231 formation.

However, Lin's partner has changed today. Neres on the left and Czerny on the right. Dolberg, the regular main player on the left, is injured today, while Kluivert, the regular main player on the right, is not injured, but he is sitting today.

on the bench.

This made him very dissatisfied.

But he didn't dare to vent it. After all, Ten Hahe was still very strict in running the army.

The reason why Ten Hag did not choose Kluivert on the right today is also very simple.

It’s just that he is too lonely.

Don't pass the ball, just cut inside.

If this is the case, it’s okay if you can score goals. Like Robben, you are alone, but you can always score goals or create threatening passes in that area.

But Kluivert is just alone. His method can still be effective against mid-to-lower teams in the Eredivisie, but it will not work against higher-level teams.

Therefore, Ten Hag decisively defeated him when facing a strong team.

And when facing a weak team, you can use him.

This is Ten Hag’s current positioning of first-team players during internal meetings of the coaching staff.

It is worth mentioning that during the coaching meeting, the coaching staff unanimously agreed on the positioning of Lin Kedi as a core offensive player with certain firing rights and a future leader who needs to be protected at this stage.

In short, facing this kind of offensive genius, Ten Hag, who is a Dutchman, naturally has a good feeling. In addition, Lin Kedi trains seriously and plays football seriously. The results are very good. He is also the top scorer in the team. There are many such players.

It cannot be valued too highly.

After arriving at the Stadium of Light and the game officially started, Lin Kedi felt the other party's care for him.

As soon as I arrived in front of Benfica's defense, the ball was still on the wing of Ajax. As Lin Kedi was about to sprint forward, he suddenly hugged Lin Kedi with both hands.

Lin Kedi was about to shout, but the man let go of his hand.

The referee didn't even see it, it was just a small move.

Lin Kedi almost fell down and missed this good opportunity.

And this effect is what that person wants.

Lin Kedi looked over and saw that this man was Ruben Dias, also a young central defender.

"You like to play this kind of routine, don't you?"

Link said hostilely to Diaz.

Diaz didn't look at him at all. In his opinion, Lin Kedi was incompetent and furious.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

Because, just 3 minutes after this incident, Lin Kedi received De Jong's long pass from the backcourt in the middle and accelerated to catch up with the ball. At this time, Dias was defending Lin Kedi head-on. He was full of confidence.

I feel so full that I want to stretch my legs.

Lin Kedi seized this opportunity, and with a fried ball, the ball flexibly jumped at Lin Kedi's feet, and followed Lin Kedi to pass Diaz.

Diaz quickly closed his legs, but it was too late.

After Link passed Dias, he volleyed directly without waiting for the goalkeeper to react.

The goalkeeper's position was relatively to the left, and Lin Kedi's shot was aimed at the lower right corner.

1 to 0.

The second goal of the Champions League has arrived.

After scoring the goal, Lin Kedi first rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate.

Jump up and punch.

She looks full of tension and youthful.

After celebrating, when walking back to the center circle, Lin Kedi deliberately glanced at Diaz.

Diaz's head was drooping, and he could imagine how head coach Victoria would scold him after the game.

Just now, he stretched out his foot recklessly, allowing Lin Ke's enemy to easily pass him, and also preventing the goalkeeper from having time to return to his position.

There is a high probability that this goal will be blamed on Diaz's head.

Sure enough, when the game ended with Ajax's 1-goal away victory.

The local Portuguese media immediately surrounded Diaz after the game.

Dias was pushed to the locker room by captain Luison.
