Chapter 1443 The Troubles Brought by the Final

Real Madrid eliminated Atletico Madrid 2-2 in an away game with a total score of 5-2 and reached the Champions League final again. This news spread all over the world in a very short period of time. Countless media and fans were cheering for Real Madrid and Yang Yang.

In another matchup one day later than Real Madrid, although Mbappe scored a goal, Monaco eventually lost 1-2 to Juventus in the away game, and lost the Champions League semi-finals 1-4 on aggregate.

Although it is sad, Monaco was able to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, and its performance is also remarkable, and the results are convincing.

The match between Real Madrid and Juventus in the final, the duel between the two traditional giants, undoubtedly satisfied the media and fans all over the world, especially after many years of absence, the Serie A team has finally reached the final of the Champions League again. Many people think that this It represents that the Serie A is about to usher in a revival.

As for the contest between Real Madrid and Juventus, most of the media and fans believe that Real Madrid has the upper hand, but Juventus is not without the strength of the upset. It is still necessary to see who wins and who loses between the two teams. Cardiff performance.

Yang Yang began to focus on the Copa del Rey final and the UEFA Champions League final in early June after helping Real Madrid draw with Atletico Madrid. For him, these are the two games that he needs to pay attention to the most.

As for the remaining two rounds of the league, he doesn't need to worry too much.

On the contrary, Ajax, who is far away in the Netherlands, bothers him.

This time it wasn't that the grades were not satisfactory, on the contrary, the grades were surprisingly good.

…………

…………

In the evaluation of Yang Yang and Van Gaal, Ajax's strength is roughly at the level of the quarter-finals of the Europa League, so Yang Yang and Van Gaal were not surprised at all when the team reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League. What is more joyful.

The quarter-finals encountered Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga. This team did not perform well in the Bundesliga this season, so Ajax still has the strength to fight, and at home with Klaassen scored twice, the first Won Schalke Zero Four.

Then in the away game, Ajax first conceded two goals in a row, and then Weltman accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card. With Younis's goal, although they still lost the game 2-3 in the end, the total score was 4-3 and they were thrilled to advance.

In the two rounds of the match, Ajax not only gained the right to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League, but the teenager Kluivert also played well, winning the unanimous affirmation of Ajax from top to bottom, and began to gain a firm foothold in the first team.

Especially in the second round, the bravery and tenacity shown by the team made Ajax win unanimous praise from the Dutch media and fans, and the management team was also happy with the team's achievements.

The real surprise came in the semifinals.

In the first round of the match, Ajax defeated the Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon 4-1 at home with Kluivert's two shots and one pass, Younis and Dolber's goals, which surprised everyone.

You know, although Lyon is no longer the overlord of Ligue 1, their strength should not be underestimated. They eliminated Roma in Serie A and advanced, and Ajax defeated their opponent 4-1 at home. Into the Europa League final.

Sure enough, in the second round of the match, Dolber scored a goal for Ajax in the 27th minute, which completely broke Lyon's hope of a comeback at home. In the end, they defended the victory 1-3 and won the European Cup. Qualification for the League Cup final.

In another arena, Manchester United eliminated Celta Vigo with a total score of 2-1 and joined Ajax in the final.

Ajax, where Van Gaal is the technical director, encountered Manchester United coached by Mourinho. This is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the Europa League, but everyone believes that unless Ajax has a big upset, otherwise , It is basically impossible to win Manchester United.

First, the strength is not as good as the opponent, and second, the coach of Manchester United is Mourinho. Although the Portuguese has a bit of a temper, he has always been calm in coaching. More importantly, the possibility of Manchester United qualifying for the Premier League and Champions League this season is almost zero. A Europa League winner is needed to qualify for next season's Champions League group stage.

In this case, Ajax faced Manchester United without any chance.

In this way, it is not a good thing for Ajax to advance to the Europa League final.

...

After the team eliminated Lyon, Van Gaal, van der Sar and others held a video conference with Yang Yang in France, and the topic of discussion was Ajax's promotion to the Europa League final.

From the player's point of view, from the team's point of view, from the fans' point of view, this is an out-and-out victory, and it will definitely be regarded by the media as a signal of Ajax's revival.

But from the perspective of the club operator, the conclusion is not necessarily.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Yang Yang smiled bitterly.

Seeing him being so frank, Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others couldn't help laughing wryly.

Is it a good thing to reach the final?

Yes, but also no!

Needless to say the benefits, it can hit a European champion, the money is not much, but the honor is quite a lot.

In front of outsiders, even in front of the players, Ajax must continue to shout the slogan of winning the championship, but in fact, everyone knows that the possibility of upset Manchester United is very small.

This will be a final worth tens of millions of euros. Manchester United will use all the resources of the team. In contrast, Ajax can only rely on desperate efforts. The difference between the two is too far.

Of course, even if you fail to win the championship, it is an honor to advance to the final, but the problem lies with Ajax.

Whether it is Yang Yang, Van Gaal, or Van der Sar and other managements, they never thought that Ajax would be exposed to the mainstream European media so quickly, because they could not withstand the poaching of the five major league teams.

But now it's better, all the way through, reaching the Europa League final, the possibility of winning the championship is not high, and the rewards are very small, on the contrary, I took out all my belongings.

What awaits Ajax next will be the wolves and tigers around, salivating eyes.

For Ajax today, there is not much difference between the semi-finals and the finals, but after entering the finals, it is extraordinary that they have received attention, especially the few players in the team. Will follow the expansion, can Ajax still retain people?

A little carelessness, breaking into the Europa League final this time may even interrupt Ajax's revival plan.

...

"I didn't make much money, but there was a lot of trouble." Yang Yang smiled wryly.

"Just after the quarter-finals, Schalke 04 was asking about Ziyech and Dolber. After the quarter-finals, Lyon was also concerned about Younes, Kluivert Jr., and Manchester United. Keeping an eye on Dolber and Davidson Sanchez..."

Van Gaal also let out a long sigh when he said this, Ajax's current situation is really troublesome.

If several leading stars who have performed well this season are poached, what will Ajax play next season?

"How is Pete Boss?" Yang Yang asked.

Pete Boss signed a three-year contract with Ajax, and he can lead Ajax to the Europa League final. Not necessarily not tempted.

After all, the resources that teams in the five major leagues can enjoy are not what Ajax can give.

"It is true that there are teams paying attention to him. Among them, Dortmund seems to be interested and has been chasing our game, but Pete Boss said that he has no plan to leave Ajax." Van der Sar said.

Yang Yang shook his head lightly, it's okay to listen to such words, he is really a fool.

In professional football, loyalty is always a scarce luxury. It is impossible for anyone or any team to pin their hopes on the loyalty of others, which is the most unreliable.

"We will make two-handed preparations as soon as possible." Van Gaal sighed, "If even he has to go, then our plan will have to be drastically changed."

Ajax's plan was formulated as early as January and February. What the team wants most is to further consolidate the team's strength on the basis of this season, return to the Champions League group stage as soon as possible, and stay in the team for a long time. The Champions League group stage, this is Ajax's sustainable development plan.

One season comes out, not to mention not being able to win the Europa League, even if you get it, then your family is poached, your strength quickly declines, and you still can't make it to the Champions League next season, the gain is not worth the loss.

Although Ajax will get a large transfer fee, you must know that in today's European football, the value and salary of players have skyrocketed, and the depreciation of money is alarming. Talent is the most important thing.

"It's useless to say these things now. We must make preparations as soon as possible. Even if we really have to, we must not suffer losses. We must guarantee the interests of the club no matter what."

Yang Yang's words were recognized by Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others.

So far, it's useless to regret.

After all, it should be a happy event for the team to reach the final. As for whether Ajax can keep people in the transfer market this summer, these are all troubles that will appear in the future.

"By the way, this year's second team performed well, and these young players should reward them well." Yang Yang is very satisfied with the performance of Ajax's second team, because they won the runner-up in the Dutch second league this year , but because of the rules, he missed the promotion to the play-offs.

Of course, Ajax is not the only one. Eindhoven's second team ranked fourth and also performed well.

The current Ajax second team has emerged a group of outstanding young talents, such as De Ligt, Kluivert, Van der Beek, Frankie de Jong, Rosario, Stens and other young talents. Even Sancho and Ndombele of the first team often follow the second team to the Dutch second league, which is also a guarantee for the team to win the runner-up.

There are not only Ajax's own youth training, such as Dericht, Van der Beek, etc., but also those brought in by Yang Yang who launched the youth training reform after taking over, such as Rosario, Stens, Sancho and Ndombele.

One thing is for sure, these players will be the future of Ajax.

But now, Yang Yang's agreement with the Supervisory Committee seems a bit difficult to handle.

If they are dug out this summer, what will Ajax do to hit the Champions League?
