Chapter 1522 I Said It, It's Not Difficult!

When the referee Tobias Stiller from Germany blew the whistle to start the game, Prudholm's brows never loosened for a moment, and he always stood nervously in the coach's command area.

On the field, the young Ajax was like a tiger descending from the mountain. From the moment the whistle sounded, it rushed towards Standard Liege.

The wolf-like Ajax seems to be fearless. The standard Liege start of the home game is more stable, actively avoiding its edge, trying to let Ajax attack for a while, and then slowly look for opportunities fight back.

Ajax used a high position to press and press, and the front, middle and rear lines basically pressed up. This caused a lot of trouble for Standard Liege. As soon as they grabbed the ball, they were immediately affected by Ajax's frontcourt. press.

This makes Standard Liege look quite passive on the scene.

But the first shot of the game came from the home team. Captain Maboku took a long shot from the left rib and made the first shot of the game, but it failed to threaten Ajax's goal. Became an anti-aircraft gun.

Ajax has also encountered many problems. It seems that they have seized the opportunity and have an advantage on the scene, but they have not been able to turn it into a threat in the frontcourt, and they have not even made a shot. This is very difficult.

On the contrary, Standard Liege counterattacked again and again. Although they failed to pose a threat, at least they shot more times.

When Yang Yang smiled helplessly at Harvey Alonso on the sidelines, the game finally opened.

In the 16th minute, Ajax quickly attacked the frontcourt.

Ndombele suddenly rushed forward with the ball, and quickly passed the ball to the feet of Jovic who was pulled to the outside of the penalty area.

Jovic supported the opponent's central defender with his body, stopped the ball to Van der Beek, turned around and sprinted forward quickly.

Van der Beek understood and sent a through ball. Jovic quickly inserted it, and before the goalkeeper who attacked, he hit the shot and opened the scoring for Ajax.

...

"Wow!!!!"

Yang Yang applauded excitedly on the sidelines. Seeing Jovic excitedly rushing to the corner to celebrate, he even gave a thumbs up to the center forward, and praised his goal.

This is a very smart move.

"What a smart player." Harvey Alonso also praised with a smile.

Yang Yang kept nodding. Jovic has been studying Yang Yang's game video recently, especially focusing on running positions and support. It seems that he is improving very fast now, which allowed him to score this goal.

In contrast, Van der Beek's through pass was just a normal play. If he didn't pass it, it would be a waste of opportunity.

"Sometimes Van der Beek is still too high up. He doesn't seem to be integrated into the midfield. Instead, he has turned himself into a nine and a half. This leads to a relatively large midfield gap, especially for Germany In front of Rong and Ndombele, this space appeared after Van der Beek went forward."

"Just now Ndombele dribbled the ball and plugged it in. If there is no such a move, this attack will be gone."

this is a problem.

Although Yang Yang’s positioning for Van der Beek is to go in from the back, he is a midfielder after all. In one game, Van der Beek seemed to have a biased understanding of his role.

But it doesn't matter, take your time, after all, the players are just getting started.

...

The game restarted, and Ajax, who had just scored a goal, continued to launch a high press towards Standard Liege.

This seems a bit unreasonable, but it made Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso on the sidelines very happy.

Especially only four minutes after the goal, Ndombele made a sudden grab and directly overturned Standard Liege's midfielder No. 18 Marin with his body, and without fouling, he turned around and kicked after grabbing the ball Long shot.

I'm in a hurry!

But this time's beautiful defense made Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso applaud non-stop.

"It's so fierce!" Harvey Alonso exclaimed.

Ndombele's physical fitness is indeed strong, he is also very good at his feet, and his ability to drive the ball is very good. More importantly, his running range is large, which makes him like a light tank. The midfielder romped with impunity.

It is estimated that Prudholm is about to cry at this time!

"This guy is a treasure, very similar to Pogba." Yang Yang also admired Ndongbele very much.

Pogba is characterized by strong physical fitness and delicate foot skills. The threat of the French midfielder on the left rib and the front of the penalty area is very, very great. Ndombele is relatively lacking, because once he reaches the frontcourt, it is easy. Anxious, not calm enough.

This has a certain relationship with the player's own personality.

If Ndombele could handle the ball calmly on the left rib and the front of the penalty area like Pogba, then he would have been poached long ago.

"He's a little distracted, and his concentration is not very focused. In fact, Schene is also very good, but he is not as good as Ndombele in terms of physical and strength confrontation." Harvey Alonso couldn't help nodding.

The veteran Schone was born as an offensive player. He has a lot of work on his feet and a strong passing ability, but his height and strength are not as strong as Ndombele.

Yang Yang chose Ndongbele because he was able to inject strength and confrontation into the team's midfield.

Ajax does not have the delicate small-scale pass and control skills of Barcelona, ​​so such a person is needed in the midfield, especially in the European arena.

If you want to play ball possession, Erdegaard and Schone will be very good candidates.

"De Jong is also a very interesting player. He looks weak, but in fact, he contributes a lot to the defensive end. He averages a lot of possessions per game, which is scary. More importantly, he can pass the ball. .” Yang Yang praised with a smile.

This is why he put De Jong in the midfielder position, and even let Ndombele go forward, while De Jong was delayed.

The reason is simple. De Jong's characteristics and future development trend should be a Pirlo with outstanding defensive ability, or a Harvey Alonso who is not afraid of pressing and has a strong dribbling ability.

This is very exciting.

"To be honest, I was really worried before coming to Ajax, but after reading the player profile and coming to Ajax, I really feel that this team is a treasure trove." Harvey Aron Suo Man said in admiration, and looked at Yang Yang with admiration.

Because he still clearly remembered that Yang Yang told him before that he would lead this team to the Champions League knockout round. At that time, he thought it was unrealistic, but now, after more than a month, he really felt that it was very promising.

It may not be possible this year, but there will be absolutely no problem next year, because this team is improving very fast.

De Jong, Van der Beek and Ndombele in the midfield have their own characteristics and advantages. The same is true for Militao and De Ligt in the defense. Both players are good at passing. De Ligt is very comprehensive, stealing and intercepting. , Relief, he can do anything, standard central defender body, strong confrontation, more importantly, after he became the captain, Yang Yang began to ask him to command the defense of the back line, very general demeanor.

Militao is also very good. He is not as good as Dericht in terms of strength confrontation. He will suffer more when he encounters a strong center forward, but his speed is very fast, especially his explosive power, and he is very flexible and has a very strong one-on-one ability. The big problem is almost a common problem of Brazilian defensive players, with poor tactical discipline.

These two players work together to form Ajax's central defender. From the warm-up match to the present, problems have been constantly exposed, but whether it is Yang Yang or Harvey Alonso, or the Ajax technical team , are full of expectations for them.

...

While Yang Yang was discussing the situation on the court with Harvey Alonso and studying the various problems exposed by the team, the Ajax players on the court once again created opportunities.

The frontcourt attack was unfavorable. When passing back, De Jong quickly moved to the right.

Ashraf quickly advanced along the right flank, got the ball and passed it to Sancho in front.

The England teenager got the ball on the right side of the penalty area, quickly shook off the defender, and passed the ball low and flat to the goal.

Jovic just retreated to respond, and there was no one in the middle, but Neres, who was at the back point, quickly plugged in, easily pushed in front of the goal, and made another victory for Ajax, 2-0!

The Brazilian teenager was so excited that he rushed out of the court and ran all the way.

Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso also laughed, this time the offensive cooperation was really good.

"This group of boys is worth looking forward to." Yang Yang said.

Harvey Alonso very much agrees with Yang Yang's views. The more he stays with this group of players, the more he can perceive their hidden potential. The key is to be able to stimulate their potential.

None of the previous De Boer, Peter Boss, Keizer or Rezig could do this.

But Yang Yang can.

Two wingers, Neres and Sancho, averaged four or five dribbles per game in the warm-up match, plus high center Jovic, followed by Van der Beek, plus three full-backs Jorge and Thalia Fico and Ashraf, if this set of offense is polished, Ajax's offensive ability will explode.

"Two to zero!" Yang Yang laughed, "I told you, it's actually...not difficult."

Xavi Alonso couldn't help laughing too.

Before the game, he was really worried, but in the game, he found that Yang Yang was still as calm as ever.

And the game seems to develop according to Yang Yang's wishes. Standard Liege can't withstand Ajax's frontcourt attack, can't withstand the pressure of the midfield, and can't stop the two wings from flying together. In this way, the result is obvious. .

The Belgian team can't stop Ajax.

Of course, Ajax is still too young.

"Next, we still need to be careful. Our internal problems may be more serious than external problems." Harvey Alonso was happy, but he still didn't dare to be careless.

Careful and meticulous is also a label of Harvey Alonso.

Yang Yang thinks it is, but he thinks this is not a problem. Young players are constantly encountering problems and making progress in solving them.

Missed opportunities by offensive players and big mistakes by defensive players are all key factors that help players develop.
