Chapter 106 I Can Do It!

Yang Yang had long expected that one day he would face the opponent's close pressing, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

In the face of Van Haren's close defense, he really didn't know what kind of reaction he should give.

happy?

It is indeed a bit, after all, this is a targeted tactic from the Eredivisie giant Feyenoord.

But more is still helpless, because he hopes to help the team.

In less than ten minutes, Yang Yang tried many ways to catch the ball, but he was not able to get rid of Van Haren once.

The Feyenoord left back gave Yang Yang the feeling that Van Marwijk sent him on the field, and his only task was to keep up with Yang Yang, and he could do nothing else.

In the face of such a defensive method, Yang Yang really has no way to be too effective.

He tried to retreat with his teammates, and also played behind him, but it didn't work.

Van Haaren's defensive strategy is to follow the rules and foul if you can't, and his fouls are very secretive. The referee will blow, but he won't give cards, and he doesn't even give a warning.

It was the first time Yang Yang had encountered such a difficult opponent.

And he also knew that this was a test for him.

"De Jong is still not active enough on the right."

In the chairman's stand of the Amsterdam Arena, technical director Van Gaal frowned deeply and sighed.

Yang Yang was stared at by Van Haren in the frontcourt. If De Jong could step forward to help, Ajax's right attack would be better, but De Jong always stayed behind.

The upside, of course, is that Feyenoord's genius Van Persie has a hard time finding space.

"If Trabelsi is here, I believe he should be more assertive." Chairman Van Prager said.

Van Gaal nodded slightly, sometimes attacking is risky.

Ajax's football philosophy is creativity and risk-taking, and De Jong is a defensive player.

"What went wrong with the negotiations in Brazil?" Van Prager asked with concern.

Tunisia performed very well in the African Cup. According to the current situation, it is difficult for Trabelsi to return to the team for at least half a month. The original plan of Ajax was to introduce a team before the winter break. Right back, and has locked Cruzeiro's Maurinho, but the result still failed to complete the transfer.

This led to Koeman having to let De Jong play right back in this game.

"Cruzeiro knows we're in a hurry, the asking price is a bit high, and they're not very willing to sell Maurinho." Van Gaal explained lightly, "You know, we're not going to pay too much for a right-back. high price."

Van Prager nodded helplessly, the transfer market was closed anyway, and it was too late even if he wanted to sign.

"It is still necessary to hurry. Trabelsi performed very well in the African Cup. It is estimated that we will not be able to keep it this summer."

"Rest assured, Brazil is full of talent and we're looking at alternatives."

Van Praage responded with a reluctant smile, "The other three teams in the Dutch Cup semi-finals are not very strong. If we can beat Feyenoord in this game, we are the most hopeful to win the championship."

Van Gaal understands what Van Prager means. The league and PSV are very entangled. There is no hope for the Champions League. It is a blessing to be able to enter the knockout stage. Only by winning the Dutch Cup as soon as possible, Ajax is a turbulent one. The season is considered to have a stable foundation.

"He's never disappointed me, and I'm sure tonight will be the same."

"You have full confidence in him."

"Of course, if one day I leave Ajax to coach another team, the first person I want to buy is him."

A strange color flashed in Van Prager's eyes. He knew that Van Gaal was not a fool. On the contrary, Van Gaal was very smart and saw things very thoroughly, but he was just a little arrogant and out of place.

"Then you should hurry up and renew the contract with him." Van Prager laughed.

The implication is that this is for Van Gaal to break his own thoughts.

Van Gaal also smiled slightly.

In the stadium, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the regular ninety-minute game was finally over.

"That guy is very dirty and has a lot of small movements."

Yang Yang squeezed the water bottle hard, letting the water get into his mouth from the nozzle, and vaguely introduced the situation he was facing to Luther Carroll.

"That's right, it's normal to be dirty." Luther Carroll was not surprised at all, "You know, professional football is all about killing opponents with everything they can, winning is everything, if you can't win, what do you do? It's not going to be accepted, understand?"

Yang Yang nodded vigorously, he was not pedantic, even though he was disdainful to do things that he was not used to, not to mention that he didn't like losing at all, he hated losing.

"I told you, you will encounter this situation sooner or later. The opponents in the previous games did not know you, and some teams may not even study you at all, but tonight is different. Feyenoord must be very deep. Having studied you, you have to be mentally prepared for the toughness of the game."

Yang Yang nodded heavily, even if it wasn't there before, it must be there now.

"Now you are the most physically fit person in the team and the last hope of the team. How to open up the situation on the right side, you must have enough ideas, keep your mind clear at all times, and never mess up. The more critical the moment, the more necessary it is. calm."

Yang Yang drank the water and kept nodding his head.

Luther Carroll patted Yang Yang on the shoulder lightly and motioned him to go to Ronald Koeman.

There is only a five-minute break between the regular game and overtime, and you can't go back to the locker room. Everything must be explained clearly on the court.

Coach Koeman gave Yang Yang the last precious substitution. The answer is very clear. He just pinned the team's last hope on Yang Yang. Therefore, for Ajax now, the most important thing is Or how to activate this point of Yang Yang.

Koeman asked Ibrahimovic and Sneijder to move closer to Yang Yang's side as much as possible, try to give more support, try the ball behind him more, so that Yang Yang can attack the front, instead of always holding the ball behind his back .

"I've tried several times, but I've failed." Sneijder panted and shook his head.

The game played for 90 minutes, and everyone's physical energy was almost exhausted.

Koeman also frowned and turned to look at Yang Yang, "Yang, what advice do you have?"

Yang Yang looked at the teammates around him. He found that everyone was looking at him. Captain Van der Vaart was notoriously poor in physical fitness. His face was pale now. to the pressure on the shoulders.

He also came on as a last-minute substitute in the last Champions League group match against Club Brugge, but the situation at that time was very different from now, when everyone gave up, and no one had high hopes for him, but now, everyone Looking at him, waiting for him to give an answer.

If he said now that he was not sure, the morale of the whole team would plummet, and the game would have been lost without playing.

But he can't say that.

It's not his style.

He wants to win, and he hates losing.

"Everyone doesn't need to move closer to me, it's best to save their physical strength, and I expand my range of activities and pull more into the opponent's ribs. As long as I can get a little time and space, I can bring the ball out."

When Yang Yang said this, his expression was extremely determined and confident, and there was no flicker in his eyes.

He is really sure.

Of course, the premise is that he has time and space.

If he was still stuck by Van Haren like he did just now, he really couldn't do anything very well.

"Are you physically fit?" Koeman asked.

"No problem." Yang Yang answered confidently.

At the earliest in Almere, fitness and speed were his strengths.

"How sure are you?" Koeman asked.

Everyone once again turned their attention to Yang Yang, waiting for a hope in their eyes.

"I can definitely do it!" Yang Yang gritted his teeth without hesitation.

Ronald Koeman looked at Yang Yang deeply, hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, then do as you said, I believe you can do it."

As soon as the head coach made a statement, no one else had any opinion.

At this time, the only person in the team who has the ability to bring the ball to the frontcourt is Yang Yang.

"My good brother, I'll be waiting for you in front. As long as you bring the ball out and pass it to me, I promise to kill him!" Ibrahimovic was also too tired, but he still gritted his teeth.

Although he has already scored a goal, he was also depressing enough to play this game.

"I'll be ready at any time later," Wesley Sunk assured.

"I'll pass the ball to you." Sneijder gave Yang Yang a high five and hugged each other.

"I'll be slower and play the second wave." Van der Vaart also said.

"Leave it to me later." This is De Jong.

"Good brother." Fermaelen came over, didn't say anything, just hugged Yang Yang.

At this moment, the Belgian central defender really understood why Yang Yang was able to integrate into the first team so quickly and was accepted by everyone, because he dared to take responsibility at a critical moment.

Success and failure are very common things on the football field, but responsibility at critical moments is the most valuable trait of a player, and Fairmaelen saw this from Yang Yang.

At the same time, there is also a strong desire to win revealed in his tone and demeanor.

At such a time in the game, what the players need most is often no longer those so-called technical and tactical things. Those things can no longer help the team at all. What everyone needs is hope.

A hope that everyone believes in.

"Come on, everyone, let's work together. I believe that the final victory must belong to us."

Head coach Ronald Koeman came over and stretched out his right hand.

Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Sneijder and other players stretched out their hands one after another and fell on the backs of the coach and teammates' hands. Everyone stood in a circle, their palms overlapped and shouted in unison "Come on! Come on! Come on!!!"

With everyone throwing their hands hard, the Ajax players walked back to the pitch.

In the stands, the Ajax fans also felt the determination of the players, and the sound of shouting and cheering became louder, resounding throughout the Amsterdam Arena.

Brothers and sisters, let's go to Sanjiang! I'm not going to open the single chapter to save everyone's anxiety, but it's recommended, and it's Monday again, so we can't make it too ugly, right? So please vote brothers and sisters, I'm here to thank you!
