Chapter 113 Ball Business
Twenty-six-year-old Li Rongpyo watched from a distance Yang Yang, who walked quickly into the stadium after shaking hands with Scola and hugging him, frowned unconsciously. He was very clear about his next responsibilities.
After Yang Yang entered the field, Maxwell, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Wesley Sonk, Ibrahimovic and other players all went over to give him high-fives one after another, and they kept exchanging something. The sound was so loud that no one could hear it.
Just from this move, Li Rongpyo could feel the weight of Yang Yang in their hearts.
An Asian player, in a giant like Ajax, can be recognized and valued by this group of talented teammates. This Yang Yang is not simple at all, and he has been the fastest in the Eredivisie in the past few months. Nova.
Looking back on his and Park Ji-sung's position in the PSV team, the attitude of his teammates towards them, Li Rong-pyo could feel Yang Yang's difficulty and the threat that the Chinese player might bring to him.
Teacher Hiddink repeatedly reminded Li Rongpyo before the game that he should pay attention to this Yang Yang no matter what.
Now, Ronald Koeman has finally played this card.
Amid the cheers of the Ajax fans, Yang Yang quickly ran to the right and came to Li Rongpyo.
The South Korean international saw this boyish opponent up close. He was also an East Asian player, and it was a kind of fate to meet on a football field in a foreign country. Li Rongpyo smiled and nodded at the opponent, and Yang Yang responded with a smile.
Neither of the two had any communication, and the match soon began.

After Yang Yang came off the bench, Ajax's offense also began to shift to the right.
Sneijder, who was in charge of allocating the ball in the midfield, began to frequently send the ball to Yang Yang's side, but Li Rongpyo learned from Feyenoord's previous targeted tactics when defending Yang Yang, and always stared at Yang Yang without leaving him. too many opportunities.
Run empty, catch the ball, pass back, run empty again, catch the ball again, pass back again...
After Yang Yang came on the court, he had a wide range of activities on the right, and his performance was very active, but Hiddink's defense was very meticulous, and he did not leave room for him to move, making it difficult for him to have the opportunity to take the ball and face it alone. Lee Young-pyo.
For this kind of situation, Yang Yang is also mentally prepared, not in a hurry, still waiting patiently for the opportunity.
He believed that it was impossible for Li Rongpyo to follow him all the time.
Sure enough, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic pulled back to get the ball, he brought out a central defender. Li Rongpyo's position had to be closer to the middle, and Yang Yang took the opportunity to pull it near the right line and opened up with Li Rongpyo.
As soon as the Swedish center returned the pass, he had long noticed that Yang Yang's Sneijder quickly kicked the ball low and sent the ball to the right.
Yang Yang quickly charged with the ball along the right, but at this time, Ibrahimovic was still trailing in the middle, and Wesley Songk, who was in the back, didn't immediately understand Yang Yang's intention, and did not follow up in time. superior.
What's more terrible is that Li Rongpyo's chasing speed is very fast, chasing the inside of Yang Yang all the way.
"damn it!"
Yang Yang scolded inwardly, but he had no choice. At this time, he had few choices. Either he continued to move forward, but this would lead him to a dead end. Li Rongpyo would soon block him near the corner kick area. The best The result is a corner or a throw-in.
Another is to make a hurried pass directly, but no one from the middle and the back point is outflanking the connection, which is equivalent to directly sending the ball back to PSV Eindhoven, maybe it will help the opponent to play a quick counterattack.
The last option is to stop and wait for your teammates to catch up.
This situation was mentioned by John Van Skip during the one-on-one training. He said that it was like a beginner swimmer rushing into the deep water alone. This is very dangerous. The best way is to stop and protect. Ball, bring back, back to shallow water.
But just stopping is clearly not enough.
At the moment when Li Rongpyo caught up with him, Yang Yang suddenly made an emergency stop and smashed the ball. The whole person changed to cut inwards. At the same time, he blocked Li Rongpyo and the ball with his body, cutting off the possibility of the Korean player stealing the ball. The ball took two steps horizontally and passed back to Sneijder who was inserted in the back row.
The Ajax midfielder took advantage of the situation with a through ball and sent the ball into the penalty area.
But this time, Ibrahimovic, who had already rushed to the front of the penalty area, wanted to come over to meet Yang Yang, but he didn't realize Sneijder's intention in time, and he missed a very good scoring opportunity in the penalty area in vain.
When the Swedish center wanted to start again, Eindhoven's central defender Hofland had already cleared the ball in time.
Ibrahimovic spread his hands helplessly, panting heavily, and gave Sneijder a thumbs up, but at the same time he pointed at Yang Yang, as if to say, buddy, I am really caught up in you this time. To hurt miserable.
Yang Yang also shook his head helplessly. If he passed the ball to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he would likely be intercepted by Li Rongpyo.
But Ajax's sudden counterattack this time still made a threat, which made the fans cheer for a while.
…………
…………
"Pay attention to protection at the frontier of the restricted area!"
Hiddink broke out in a cold sweat on the sidelines and roared loudly.
If Ibrahimovic had not slowed down and rushed directly into the penalty area, it would have been a very threatening attack.
Fortunately, a disagreement arose between the Swedish center and Sneijder, and it stopped instead.
"Ajax's players are quite good, not to mention Van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sneijder's two passes are very skillful, he will become Ajax , and even the first-line midfielder in European football." The assistant coach next to him couldn't help but praise.
Hiddink agrees with the analysis of the assistant coach very much, and this group of young players from Ajax is indeed very good.
"The biggest change in this attack just now came from Yang Yang's sudden emergency stop on the 99th. If he went ahead regardless of the situation, he would only lead himself into a dead end, but he has this kind of wisdom. , knowing how to stop to protect the ball and cut inside, and then pass the ball to Sneijder, this is very important."
Hiddink is very unfamiliar with this Chinese teenager who has just emerged from Ajax. He has never heard of such a person during his coaching in South Korea, but today I saw his first breakthrough after playing. , it's really not that simple.
The emergency stop smash just now seemed simple, but in fact it could see a lot of things.
In European football, countless young players emerge every year. Among them, there are many players with outstanding dribbling ability and excellent speed, but they are either limited by their experience or their own personalities. In the situation of Yang Yang just now , the most likely choice is to dribble the ball directly to the bottom line, or make a hasty cross.
But Yang Yang chose to make an emergency stop and protect the ball, which showed his ball intelligence.
In addition, it is also an emergency stop smash. Players with superior skills will choose some fancy moves, and some may use their heels to slam the ball from behind, but Yang Yang chose the simplest and most practical skills. The pinch was just right, so that Li Rongpyo could not steal the ball, which was quite rare.
Many young players are talented, but their playing style is very unreasonable, which makes them wasted time, and when they gain experience and become enlightened, it will be difficult for them to make further progress in their careers.
But like Yang Yang, who is only seventeen years old, it is indeed very rare to have such a reasonable kick.
Thinking of this, Hiddink quickly walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Li Rongpyo, keep an eye on him!"
The South Korean international on the field was panting and nodded vigorously, obviously he was also taken aback just now.
When he returned to the coach's bench, Hiddink glanced at De Jong in the backcourt and said with a fluke: "Fortunately Trabelsi is not in the team, otherwise..."
…………
…………
"If Trabelsi was in the team, it would have been a great opportunity."
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Ronald Koeman shook his head regretfully.
He is not surprised by Yang Yang's on-court choices, because Yang Yang has always given the impression that his playing is very reasonable, and his movements are simple and practical but not fancy, which has a lot to do with his lack of solid basic skills.
But if Trabelsi was on the court just now, the Tunisian right back would follow Yang Yang properly when he counterattacked, and as long as Yang Yang stopped and smashed the ball just now, the first choice to bear the brunt is Trabelsi, and the Tunisian rubbed the ball and sent it Entering the penalty area, Ibrahimovic kicked up and hit the door as soon as he stopped.
This set of attacking coordination on the right was the key practice of the team, but Trabelsi was not there, De Jong did not dare to press forward against Robben, Sneijder was close to the middle, and followed Yang Yang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The cooperation between them will inevitably be rusty.
But it's too late to say anything.
"Okay, keep playing like this, keep up the pressure!" Ronald Koeman walked to the sidelines, applauded vigorously, and shouted loudly.
…………
…………
As soon as he came on the field, he instigated a threat attack, and Yang Yang was soon closely guarded by Li Rongpyo.
The Korean is quite good in terms of physical fitness, endurance, strength confrontation and speed, and his game input is also quite high. Once he is determined to entangle Yang Yang, it will be difficult for Yang Yang to get rid of the opponent's defense.
In the next few catches, Yang Yang was disturbed by Li Rongpyo and failed to get the slightest chance. He even nearly lost the ball a few times. Fortunately, Yang Yang did not stick the ball and always passed it back to his teammates quickly.
But in this way, Ajax's right-sided attack was once again curbed, and Ronald Koeman's substitution failed to play a role, especially as time passed, the field became very deadlocked .
Fortunately, Ajax's defense in the midfield and backcourt is still meticulous, and De Jong's marking on Robben was also successful. He didn't give PSV too many opportunities, and neither side was able to create a threat, which made the game change. Got a little dull.
Gradually, the fans in the stands began to cheer again.
The fans of the home team are definitely not willing to see the team draw at home, and they are also worried that the game will be so stalemate, and finally run out of time and be taken away from their own territory by the opponent.
Ronald Koeman also made another substitution adjustment, and the veteran Litmanen replaced the captain Van der Vaart.
This was a substitution that took place in the 68th minute. Van der Vaart continued to fight on two fronts. This game started again. The game was so intense that his physical energy was almost exhausted. big.
Compared to Ajax's two substitution adjustments, Eindhoven seemed unmoved. Hiddink had no idea of substitution in the second half except for Colin's injury and passive substitution in the first half.
It looks like he's determined to hold the game with his current lineup.
Yang Yang was looking for opportunities on the court, and he also began to feel that he had to make changes.
In the morning, I suddenly received a notice from the editor in charge. According to the starting point rules, the listing time has been changed. It is temporarily determined to be September 7. I did a preliminary calculation and the number of words just broke 400,000. Although the launch has been delayed, I still ask the majority of book friends to support and continue to vote. I am here to thank everyone!
