Chapter 127 Wenger Has a Crush on This Kid!

"You did a great job!"

He hugged Yang Yang on the sidelines, and when he was about to enter the arena, Fermaelen laughed and patted Yang Yang's back in praise.

For his teammate, the Belgian central defender really admired more and more.

Whether it's his efforts or his progress, Fermaelen is full of admiration.

Sometimes he even wondered, is Yang Yang a genius?

If it doesn't count, then he works so hard and trains all the time every day, even so much that he secretly practices ball under the table with his toes when he is in school. Isn't this a talent?

But if you have the final say, anyone can pick out a lot of faults and deficiencies from Yang Yang. For example, his stopping is really bad. Regardless of others, Vermaelen thinks that his stopping is better than his. , isn't this the basic skill of genius?

What's more, Yang Yang is completely different from the genius in everyone's impression. He rarely has the kind of imaginative improvisation. The kick the ball with his heel just now was considered a very big accident, which made him It doesn't look like a genius by any means, especially the kind of genius with extraordinary talent.

But in any case, Yang Yang has been making progress, and at an extremely fast rate.

Fermaelen is very aware of his roommate. On the one hand, he is constantly improving his advantageous items, such as one-on-one breakthroughs and excelling on the wing, but on the other hand, he is constantly making up for his shortcomings. boards, such as stopping and passing.

And the way he improves is to keep training, day after day, never slack.

Yang Yang didn't know how many thoughts flashed through Fermalen's mind, he just knew that he was exhausted now.

"I have collapsed, and the rest will be left to you. If we keep this score, we still have hope." Yang Yang encouraged.

Fermaelen nodded heavily, this was a promise he made to Yang Yang.

Sending the Belgian central defender to the court, Yang Yang walked to the coaching bench of the home team panting heavily. Head coach Ronald Koeman came over and hugged Yang Yang hard despite the sweat dripping from his body.

"Tonight, I and all the Ajax fans are proud of you." Ronald Koeman said in Yang Yang's ear.

"Thank you boss." Yang Yang smiled contentedly.

Luther Carroll was also in disbelief, because he still clearly remembered that when he saw Yang Yang more than half a year ago, he was still a fledgling boy. At that time, he was already very sharp on the right. But in any case, no one dared to believe that he could become a sharp knife on the right side of Ajax so quickly.

Yang Yang played a big role in the elimination of Brugge before, and tonight's game against Arsenal, regardless of whether the team can finally win, Yang Yang is the team's number one hero, even surpassing Zlatan Ibrahi, who scored twice Movic.

The fans at the scene were also very aware of this, so when Yang Yang hugged Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll and was about to walk back to the bench, they burst into thunderous applause again.

Yang Yang also raised his hands to applaud above his head, while bowing to the fans around him, thanking them for their love for him.

The teammates on the bench also stood up and shook hands with Yang Yang. Among them, Victor Scola had the most embarrassing reaction, because he was the team's main right winger, but in the past few games, Ronald Koeman has It was arranged for him to start, and then Yang Yang was arranged to replace him, and Yang Yang played a game better than a game.

Tonight, Yang Yang even directly replaced him in the starting position, and delivered a Champions League record-breaking goal, a wonderful assist, and an indirect assist. He is definitely the best performance of Ajax in this game. player.

Even more incredible is that he was only seventeen years old.

Victor Scola suddenly felt that maybe everyone in the team, from the head coach to the fans in the stands, and even to the management, was waiting for Yang Yang to grow and mature, and he was just before Yang Yang matured. transition.

Realizing this, Scola was embarrassed, but still sincerely praised Yang Yang's excellent performance.

In front of the visiting team's coach, Wenger watched Ibrahimovic's departure with a cold eye.

He remembered the Swedish center because he had always been so unruly, so unscrupulous.

When he was young, he dared to refuse Wenger's invitation to try out in person at Highbury Stadium. Wenger could not forget such a young man, but at that time he felt more that this young man would be buried by his own conceit. Unexpectedly, today the Swedish center proved his strength and value with two goals.

But what Wenger values ​​more is the young man wearing the No. 99 jersey.

Yang Yang, 17 years old, debuted in the Almere youth academy in the summer of 2003, entered the Ajax youth academy through the talent day selection, played under Van Basten for four months, and entered the first team in December , participated in the last group match of Ajax in the first game, and played away to Bruges, Belgium.

Afterwards, many people looked back on this game, and they all felt that the Ajax coaching staff had full confidence in Yang Yang at that time, especially the technical director Van Gaal. Yang Yang was ranked, and as a result, after Yang Yang came on the bench, he completely turned the game around.

After this battle, Yang Yang became famous in one fell swoop.

Then he made consecutive substitute appearances in the Eredivisie, scoring the first goal in the Eredivisie, setting the record for the youngest scorer in Eredivisie history, and tonight he made his first start in the Champions League and scored The first goal of his personal career in the Champions League, he also created the record of the youngest scorer in the history of the Champions League.

There is no doubt that after tonight, Yang Yang will become famous, and he will become a rookie that the media all over Europe and even the whole world are hailing.

But what Wenger values ​​most is Yang Yang's performance on the pitch.

According to the statistics of Arsenal's technical team, Yang Yang's running distance on the right is second only to De Jong and Maxwell. He runs even more than Sneijder and Van der Vaart. In the time between Richie and Pires, he even had a very fast breakthrough and sprint, which shows that his physical fitness is quite good.

But what makes Wenger shine even more is his ability to run off the ball. Almost every move can run into the empty space of Arsenal's defense, which requires extremely good reading and analysis of the game.

According to Arsene Wenger's pre-match arrangement, Clichy should be more active in this game and need more support for Henry and Pires on the offensive end. This is what Ashley Cole often does, but it is obvious that he is defending Yang Yang. , had to give up the attack.

But even so, Yang Yangyou caught a chance in the second half and assisted a goal.

Wenger has always been a very rational and calm person. He has never believed in so-called luck. He believes that there are only two reasons for conceding a goal. Either his own side makes mistakes, or the opponent forces him to make mistakes.

Obviously, the time Yang Yang assisted Ibrahimovic to score belonged to the latter.

"Pat, go back and let our scouts pay close attention to this person." Wenger frowned and ordered.

Assistant coach Pat Rice is an old partner and knows exactly who Wenger is referring to.

"That old guy Ferguson dug a Ronaldo from the Portuguese Super League, but I think this one in the Eredivisie is more like Ronaldo."

Wenger recalled the whole process of Yang Yang breaking through to the penalty area and shaking off Vieira just now, and couldn't help but smile, "Whether it's the kicking of the ball on the side's heels, or the sudden pendulum in the penalty area, it's all good. It's very similar, and what's even more surprising is that his left foot ability is not bad, and the quality of that cross is quite high."

Pat Rice knew that Wenger really liked this kid.

After the substitution, Ajax adopted a five-back defensive counterattack.

Wenger did not make substitution adjustments, and the Gunners still attacked Ajax's defense with a four-four-two formation.

Yang Yang sat on the bench, watching the Gunners attack wave after wave, breaking into the penalty area of ​​Ajax again and again, and even creating offensive opportunities, he was horrified.

There was no obvious feeling on the pitch just now, but now sitting on the sidelines, he can clearly feel the strength gap between the two teams, especially when Arsenal are starting to lose their lives.

Ronald Koeman was quick to make one final substitution.

In the 78th minute, he replaced the Swedish center Ibrahimovic, who scored twice, with a versatile midfielder with better defensive ability. The American player O'Brien was obviously exhausted. A little bit out of place on the field.

The fans of the Amsterdam Arena once again sent warm applause for the players who were substituted. The Swedish center scored twice to help the team lead Arsenal for the third time after being tied twice.

After the end, Ibrahimovic sat directly next to Yang Yang, laughing non-stop, with a look of high spirits on his face, where is the depression the other day?

He is such a genuine guy!

On the pitch, Ajax retreated very thoroughly, leaving no room for Arsenal.

Fermaelen has been very active since he came on the court, especially in defending Kanu.

The Belgian central defender is not tall, but because he is often ravaged by Ibrahimovic in his usual training, he has a lot of experience in dealing with high center forwards. Playing well and clearing.

After the whole line retreated, Wesley Sonk fought back alone at the front, and Arsenal would also have no way to take Ajax's defensive position for a while.

Wenger didn't make substitutions until the 87th minute, and made two substitutions in one go, using up the final substitution quota, but the situation on the field was still Ajax firmly in front of the goal .

In the end, in the first round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match, Ajax narrowly defeated Arsenal 3-2.

But this is not the first upset of the Champions League knockout game this season, because just before Ajax, Porto reversed Ferguson's Manchester United 2-1 at home, and Deportivo Deportivo also beat Juventus 1-0 at home. , Lokomotiv Moscow also beat Monaco 2-1 at home.

In the remaining three games, Lyon beat Real Sociedad 1-0 away, Chelsea beat Stuttgart 1-0 away, Milan drew Sparta Prague 0-0 away, and Bayern Munich drew 1-1 at home with Real Madrid.

Last day to ask for recommended tickets! Later, I will add a chapter on the testimonials, and I will talk to you about how the first month of the shelves broke out!
