"Goal!"
"Beautiful!"
"Absolutely beautiful!"
"Simply perfect!"
"It's Sean again!"
"Another goal by Sean!!"
"Sean again played a crucial role in the offensive organization!!!"
"Ajax waltzed the ball into the net; it wasn't just Sean, everyone played a critical part!"
"That's right, this goal was a perfect combination of individual talent and team cooperation, perfectly embodying the charm of football."
"Starting with Blind's pass, Christian's dummy already showed his brilliance. Sean's back-to-goal flick was full of flair, and Sigthórsson's turning shoulder pass completely overturned his usual clumsy image.
Klaassen's volleyed cross, without waiting for the ball to land, also demonstrated his solid fundamentals and excellent overall vision."
"The Red Bull players are quite pitiable. In Ajax's series of plays, they didn't even have time to react. When the ball reached the penalty area, they were first tricked by Christian, then by Bojan's fake shot and real pass.
As a result, when Sean shot, no one could make a blocking move."
"Hahaha~ Christian's header didn't look like a fake; he genuinely wanted to shoot directly, he just missed it.
As for Bojan, his series of moves vaguely reminded people of young Messi's style. Can he fully recover his form at Ajax?"
"If Bojan recovers his form, he should have a chance to return to the Spain national team for the World Cup. But what about Sean? He doesn't have a national team record, does he?"
"No, Sean is of Belgian Chinese descent, so he should join the Belgium national team.
Although current Belgium is strong, with Sean's strength and talent, he absolutely deserves to be on their team.
Look at Sean's scorpion kick just now and his subsequent decisive and quick forward run; it's practically the embodiment of talent. Even the Brazil team would be scrambling for a player like this, wouldn't they?
Unfortunately, Sean was not included in Belgium's squad for next week's international friendly matches."
"Actually, Sean could apply for Netherlands citizenship and play for the Netherlands team, which would also allow him to participate in the World Cup."
"Has Sean lived in Netherlands for five years? It should be close."
"Hahaha, this personal issue is actually not an issue. If Sean continues to perform like this, he will only be highly sought after and will definitely not lack national team matches to play in..."
...Schmidt, being a head coach after all, quickly snapped out of his shock and immediately started shouting, trying to boost his players' morale.
It's only 2:1 now, with an aggregate score of 4:4.
Ajax's lead is only an away goal.
As long as we score one more goal, not only will we lead in the aggregate score, but Ajax's away goal advantage will also disappear, and they will have to score two more goals to surpass us.
Just one goal, can't we do it?
Sean indeed exceeded expectations, scoring a brace again.
However, while he can enhance Ajax's overall offensive power, can he still have such a great impact defensively?
Thinking of this, Schmidt's spirits became even more invigorated. He gesticulated wildly, his voice fervent,
"Attack, attack! Just one goal, we only need one goal..."
Of course, he couldn't just shout; substitutions also needed to be made quickly.
Mane and others also reacted, sheepishly returning to their positions to prepare for the kickoff... Salzburg Red Bull kicked off again, and the match resumed.
Red Bull, after all, consists mostly of young players. After being pressed by Ajax for a while, they fully woke up under their coach's guidance and scolding.
The instability of young people's mentality actually has its advantages.
At first, they still tried to attack, but as their offense became smoother, they grew excited, and the attacking effect became more pronounced, completing several crosses from the byline!
Schmidt's mood changed several times, from anger to excitement, and now to confusion:
Our offensive tactics are mainly a combination of wings and center, so how did it turn into just constant crosses from the byline?
Red Bull attacked again, and Schmidt saw it more clearly.
Leitgeb successfully gained possession near the center circle but was immediately pressed by Sean and could only pass it sideways.
Red Bull was not afraid of slowing down their attack. After several passes, Zuli, who had just come on, successfully gained possession on the left wing.
This time he received the ball in open space, but he had to pass it quickly, as Ajax's pressing would arrive soon.
The best passing route would, of course, be a direct diagonal pass to the edge of the penalty area.
However, Sean just happened to run into the path of Zuli's pass to striker Alan.
Zuli could, of course, pass to others, but the players in the middle were naturally marked by other Ajax players.
Unless he wanted to risk losing possession, Zuli didn't have many options and had to pass it forward first.
Mane moved to the wing to receive the ball, but the situation didn't fundamentally improve.
The middle was congested, so basically, crossing from the byline was still the only option.
How did all this happen?
It was simply because Sean's positioning blocked Red Bull's best passing routes, giving other Ajax players some time to adjust their positions!
"F***!"
Schmidt cursed angrily, "Are you really that capable?
Acting like Bojan is what a genius should look like, right?"
Schmidt turned to look at Bojan, only to remember that Bojan had already been substituted, making him even more annoyed~
"Excellent work!"
Frank de Boer turned to Bergkamp, beaming, "Dennis, you're right, having others in the center forward position and giving Sean more freedom is indeed beneficial.
Look, this is starting to look like total football!"
Bergkamp shook his head, "I didn't expect him to be able to do this much. I only thought before that his talent was so high, and he was still so diligent on the field, which was truly commendable. I just wanted to maximize his efforts, I didn't expect..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a gasp from around them, and the two quickly turned to look at the field.
It was Mane, who, after charging down the wing with the ball, forcibly cut inside, successfully dribbling past Klaassen, but the ball also got a little too far ahead of him.
Van der Hoorn took the opportunity to slide tackle.
The ball flew directly towards the midfield.
Sean was moving back with his teammates to compress the formation. Seeing this, he immediately ran horizontally to receive the ball, not stopping it, but letting it pass him, then turning to face the attacking direction.
Ahead, Red Bull's Ilsanker and Ulm rushed towards Sean's front from both sides.
'It's best to get past them before they close in!'
The thought flashed and was gone, not affecting Sean's acceleration ability.
Ulm remembered Sean's past long-distance runs, gritting his teeth and accelerating with all his might.
What if he collided with his own teammate?
He'd worry about that if it happened!
Sean subconsciously slowed down, dribbled the ball behind Ulm, and turned, successfully getting past Ulm and breaking forward along the left flank.
Although Ilsanker slowed down in time, he still got tangled with Ulm for a moment and couldn't turn to chase immediately.
But Zuli got an opportunity, turning around and chasing Sean at full speed, finally catching up to Sean near the halfway line.
Seeing that he had already crossed the halfway line, Zuli reached out and pulled at Sean several times but still couldn't stop him. After a brief thought, he threw himself into a collision...
