Chapter 120: First Release

Even though he was already standing in the player tunnel of the Amsterdam Arena, Yang Yang still couldn't believe that he was going to start.

This is his first start since he entered the first team for more than two months, and it is actually an important match against Arsenal in the Champions League round of 16 knockout. Are you dreaming.

Anders Frisk, the referee from Sweden, was at the front of the line, chatting with Ajax's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Arsenal's Ljungberg, all three apparently familiar with each other , had a great time chatting.

Ajax still has a four-three-three formation, the goalkeeper is Robont, the defense is Maxwell, Escud, Heitinga and Trabelsi, and De Jong is behind in the midfield. , Van der Vaart and Sneijder are in the middle, and the front trident is the combination of Wesley Songk, Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang.

This is Yang Yang's first start in his career.

There is no doubt that Ronald Koeman put the burden of Ajax's home scoring on Yang Yang's shoulders. Yang Yang is not sure whether he can pick it up, so he can only do his best after walking into the stadium.

Arsenal still have a four-four-two formation. The goalkeeper is the German player Lehmann, the back line is Clichy, Campbell, Kolo Toure and Lauren, and the midfielder is Pires, Vivian from left to right. Ella, Edu and Ljungberg, the two forwards in the frontcourt are Henry and Reyes.

Facts have proved that the Brazilian midfielder Gilberto Silva finally failed to catch up with this game, and he did not even make it to the squad. Ashley Cole was also injured and never recovered. Bergkamp, ​​who flew to the away game, did not go home, which disappointed many Ajax fans.

Although he has made many substitute appearances, Yang Yang is still nervous about his debut. He knows what tonight's game means to Ajax.

Arsenal are too strong, if they can't win a home game, they basically have no chance of winning away.

For Arsenal it was a two-leg knockout, but for Ajax it was both finals.

Turning his head to scan the Arsenal stars, Yang Yang saw Henry, almost exactly the same as the Henry simulated in the super training ground, which made him smile.

I don't know if he felt it. Henry also turned his head at this time. When he saw the young Dongfang player in the Ajax team smiling at him, he immediately responded with a modest smile, as if to say, come on, boy!

The world's number one midfielder, Vieira, is very big and feels like a lofty mountain to Yang Yang. It's really hard to imagine that a player like him will go on a rampage on the court, who can stop it ?

Also huge is the centre-back Saul Campbell, who is also very stressful.

Pires has long hair, looks like an elegant artist, and has a particularly charismatic smile, which is as calm as his style of play on the pitch.

Looking at this group of star players, Yang Yang really doubted that he was going to compete with them after a while.

Oh my god, can you play and win?

This is a group of top players in the world!

But reason made Yang Yang take a few deep breaths quickly, calmed down his mood, and kept reminding himself that when he walked into the football field, they were not world superstars, but undead opponents, and they could only have one idea. That is to kill them!

Thinking of this, Yang Yang closed his eyes and adjusted his emotions.

He needs silence.

"To all the Ajax fans coming to the Amsterdam Arena, the much-anticipated first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout game is about to begin!"

"Let's welcome our Ajax warriors with the warmest applause!"

Under the call of the stadium broadcast, the audience burst into thunderous cheers and applause.

"Walking behind referee Anders Frisk is our captain, Raphael van der Vaart!"

Fans applauded and shouted Van der Vaart's name.

"Next is our goalkeeper Roberto!"

The fans burst into applause again and called out the player's name.

"Sneijder...Escud...Heitinga...Maxwell...Trabelsy...Sonck...Ibrahimovic...De Jong..."

When Yang Yang, who was at the end of the crowd, followed De Jong and walked out of the player tunnel, there was a sudden silence in the audience.

"Oh, God, there's one last... Our gold medal twelfth man, Yang Yang!!"

The silence was very short, and the whole stadium burst into cheers that did not lose to captain Van der Vaart. More than 50,000 fans chanted Yang Yang's name in unison, and Yang Yang in the stadium felt his blood boil.

He likes the feeling of being cheered by countless fans and embraced by everyone.

Seeing the fans on the scene give such a huge movement to a teenager, not to mention Wenger and others in front of the visiting team's coach were shocked, even Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll of the home team, as well as the Van Gaal, technical director in the stands, was taken aback.

No one thought that Yang Yang would have such an influence in the hearts of Ajax fans before they knew it.

"In the past few months, Yang Yang has given us a huge surprise every time he comes off the bench, every appearance he makes has changed the game, every time we see him on the sidelines, all of us Ajax fans We can't help but hope, because we know he never disappoints us."

"Tonight, we are also very much looking forward to whether Yang Yang, who is starting for the first team for the first time, can continue his excellent performance as a gold substitute in the past and contribute to our home victory over Arsenal."

…………

…………

The referee Frisk blew the whistle, and the three Ajax players in the frontcourt quickly pressed towards Arsenal's backline.

Wesley Sonk and Yang Yang were the fastest, and the two quickly rushed to the Gunners' defensive flanks one left and one right, while Ibrahimovic ran to the middle.

Not only the trident in the frontcourt, but the three players in the midfield, as well as the entire back line were quickly pressing on.

"Ajax had a very positive start. At the beginning of the game, they pushed towards Arsenal's back line. This is obviously a scramble for the start. Arsenal are a little underprepared for the away game."

"Campbell passed to Toure, and Toure went forward with a big foot."

"Heitinga made a header to make a clearance, Vieira grabbed the first spot, and headed back to the front court."

"Escud headed to the left and Maxwell got the ball."

After successfully grabbing the ball, Ajax was not obsessed with controlling the ball. Maxwell quickly moved forward along the left flank, ready to attack.

But Arsenal were clearly mentally prepared for the away game. After losing the ball, they quickly returned to the defense and set up a tight line of defense. However, Ajax also deployed heavy troops, and Van der Vaart also ran over to respond.

After Wesley Sonkneche pulled away from Lauren, he gave way to the left. Maxwell stepped forward to receive the ball from Van der Vaart and made a direct curved pass into the penalty area, but Campbell headed the ball quickly. Clear the siege.

Ajax's first attack, although reaching the penalty area, failed to create a threat.

But the ball didn't fly very far, and it was still in Arsenal's half.

The home team pushed aggressively to attack, which somewhat disrupted Arsenal’s plans, but the Gunners had experienced many battles, and the players quickly formulated countermeasures on the field. The four, four, two, and three lines were kept very compact and orderly. Didn't give Ajax too many chances.

However, Arsenal also tried to counterattack once, but unfortunately the pass was too strong and was attacked by goalkeeper Roberto.

After a back and forth contest, the starting tactics of both sides have become clear.

Ajax, who are playing at home, wants to fight to eat Arsenal in one bite. Even the Gunners have to retreat and take the defensive, but everyone knows that this momentum of Ajax is unsustainable. .

As long as the opening three axe did not work, the initiative of the audience will soon be handed over to Arsenal.

Yang Yang has also been running in the frontcourt, pressing and pressing, and catching the ball to support his teammates, but Arsenal's defense is very meticulous, Clichy didn't give Yang Yang too many chances, plus Vieira and Edu are in the middle. , he can run out of space not much, mainly concentrated near the sideline, but as long as he catches the ball, there are always defensive players nearby.

In the face of a strong Arsenal, Yang Yang also did not dare to make a mistake. He tried to pass the ball as much as possible, run as much as possible, and waited patiently for the opportunity. He did not give Clichy the chance to grab the ball from his feet.

Time just passed bit by bit.

Ajax's attack is still mainly concentrated on the left, Wesley Sunk, Maxwell and Van der Vaart are frequently testing this side, but it is difficult to pass the ball to the front.

Ibrahimovic was double-teamed by Campbell and Toure in the middle, and failed to receive a pass from the midfield.

On the contrary, Wesley Sonk is constantly pulling sides, withdrawing, and cutting inside. He has a wide range of activities and is very active, but it is difficult to get opportunities.

Just like this time, he just pulled to the left to catch the ball, Lauren was already standing in front of him, and Edu also leaned over to double-team. But Lauren followed suit.

Van der Vaart was followed by Edu, Sneijder stepped forward and raised his hand to ask for the ball, but when he received the ball, Vieira had already reached Sneijder, forcing him to turn around to protect the ball. He was pushed from behind by Vieira and almost fell, and hurriedly passed the ball back to Van der Vaart as soon as possible.

Edu rushed over aggressively, allowing Van der Vaart to quickly pass back to De Jong, who immediately scored the ball to Yang Yang on the right, and was almost cut off by Pires in the middle.

Yang Yang quickly retreated from the right to catch the ball, stabbed the ball past Pires with the first kick, and leaned towards the middle, but Clichy blocked in front of him, Yang Yang did not want to be attacked by two French players back and forth, and passed the [God] Vision] Seeing that Ibrahimovic had stuck Campbell, he immediately chose to pass the ball behind Clichy.

Ibrahimovic chased out of the penalty area to the right, Clichy and Campbell were both led by him, Wesley Sunk slanted into the penalty area to the penalty spot, attracting Kolo Toure's Attention, ready to rush to the goal at any time to grab points, while Van der Vaart is standing in the top of the penalty area, also ready to rush to grab the back point at any time.

At this time, Yang Yang could clearly see that the right half of the Arsenal penalty area was completely blank, and there was not even a single defender. This made him feel unbelievable, but also very excited, and chose to choose without any hesitation. He rushed in, not forgetting to shout loudly at the Swedish center.

"Nine o'clock!"
