Chapter 1523 Accused!
When the referee Stiller blew the whistle for the end of the game, Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso stood on the sidelines, their faces were filled with a kind of helpless emotion, because the final score did not continue. Halftime optimism.
Two to two, Standard Liege scored two consecutive goals in the second half.
Prudholm made a substitution adjustment, replacing the high center forward Sa with Reynolds Emond, and it turned out that just a minute after the substitution, the winger Casse seized the opportunity to create a threat from the right flank and break through. Ajax goal.
The goal was nothing at first, but Yang Yang decisively made substitutions and adjustments to the team, and Ajax also stabilized their position.
But in the last minute of the most fatal stoppage time, Ndombele's midfielder failed to intercept in time. Militao blindly went up and lost his position. A foul by Sa Djenepo resulted in a penalty, which Emond himself converted to level the score.
Two to two, Ajax gave the opponent a penalty at the last moment, and regrettably missed the away victory.
...
Standing in front of the coach of the visiting team, Yang Yang shook his head helplessly.
He originally had the chance to win, so he didn't plan to play, but he didn't expect such a mistake at the last moment.
What else can he say?
"As I said just now, it's all our own problems." Harvey Alonso smiled wryly.
Ndombele did not intercept in time, nor did he follow up the defense immediately. Militao blindly grabbed the position and lost his position. This gave Moussa Djenepo the opportunity, and the speed and strength of this winger are indeed excellent. outstanding.
Militang chased back immediately, but ended up fouling in the penalty area.
"Two to two, although it's a pity, it's still very good." Yang Yang is relatively satisfied with the result.
Ajax has been absent from the Champions League group stage for a long time, and they all stopped in the third round of qualifiers and play-offs. This has caused Ajax to be relatively unfamiliar with the Champions League for a long time, and even fearful.
In the first game of the new season, the opponent was still a strong standard Liege. Ajax was able to draw 2-2 in the away game, which is considered a very good result, after all, they scored two away goals.
Whether this score is good or not can be seen from the face of Standard Liege coach Prudholm.
When he came over after the game and shook hands with Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso, the coach's expression was really depressed, and his smile was extremely embarrassing. Obviously, for losing to a rookie like Yang Yang, he Still quite unconvinced.
It's really embarrassing for a 60-year-old handsome to lose to a 31-year-old fledgling kid.
Even if the rookie he was facing was called Yang Yang.
Yang Yang was still a little depressed at first, but after seeing Prudholm's expression, he was relieved.
What could be more convincing than that?
"However, this group of bastards can't be forgiven lightly." Yang Yang still felt that they should be properly given some tension.
There was such an obvious mistake in the game. If it really came to the official Champions League match, it would definitely be courting death.
Harvey Alonso couldn't help nodding. He is also a famous player who has experienced many battles, so he naturally knows how fierce the official competition of the Champions League is.
Sometimes, a little distraction will often lead to irreparable losses, and even lifelong regrets.
"I will strengthen this in the next training." Harvey Alonso said.

After the game was equalized, the Ajax group of players returned to the dressing room, but they were in good spirits.
They all know that the score of 2 to 2 in away games is quite favorable. When they return to their home court, as long as they don't lose or give their opponents two away goals, then Ajax will be sure to win.
Young people tend to ignore their mistakes easily, and even some blind positive optimism, this is the norm.
But when they saw Yang Yang walking in with a gloomy face, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
In an instant, the entire locker room became deathly silent.
All the players looked at Yang Yang nervously, obviously wanting to see something on his face, but in the end, they only saw two words from Yang Yang's expression, dissatisfied!
...
"Can any of you tell me what happened to the last penalty?" Yang Yang asked harshly.
The players all heard Yang Yang's malicious intentions, and immediately fell silent.
"The last minute, the last moment of the game, a penalty kick ruined all of our efforts for 90 minutes, and even the past period of time. Don't you think this is something to be happy about?"
Yang Yang's rhetorical question made everyone in the locker room look at each other, and many people couldn't help but panic.
"Whether it's before the game or during the intermission, I have repeatedly mentioned it many, many times. The whistle for the end of the game has not sounded, and everyone must not slack in the slightest, but what I see is not the case."
Yang Yang's tone has always been calm, but his eyes are very sharp, and he keeps scanning the players in the locker room.
He wants to see their reactions in his eyes, so that he can attack them one by one.
Inattention, this problem must be corrected.
This is not a question of player strength, nor is it a question of team tactics, but a question of attitude.
There is also Militang's tactical discipline, which must be caught, otherwise, this problem will be very serious.
Of course, in the locker room and in front of everyone, Yang Yang would not accuse a certain player by name.
"Tonight's game, I am not satisfied, but not because of the 2-2 score, but because of the finale penalty kick. I also hope that each of you will reflect and reflect on why that point happened. ball?"
"Before the game, I said that we are a team aiming to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League. The qualifiers cannot stop us, the play-offs cannot stop us, and even the group stage is difficult to stop us. But only if we don't make stupid mistakes similar to the last minute before the end of the game tonight!"
"Otherwise, we would not have passed the play-offs."
Yang Yang spoke very seriously and seriously, making everyone in the locker room aware of his importance and the seriousness of the problem, that is, there should be no problem with their attitude.
Whoever has a problem with his attitude can be seen by the teammates around him, and the players themselves will be more aware.
"The holiday tomorrow afternoon is cancelled, everyone must stay in the team for training!"
Yang Yang didn't intend to continue to criticize the players. After saying a word coldly, he turned and walked out of the players' locker room.
He felt that maybe he had been too kind to them for a while, which caused some players in the team to be slack, especially after leading 2-0, this situation became more obvious.
In a game, when a team relaxes, it is quite difficult to tense up again.
And next, after returning to Amsterdam, he will communicate with the players one by one about this matter, and even when facing Ndombele and Militao, he should criticize severely, and he will still give severe criticism.
Mistakes in the game are not terrible, what is terrible is the problem of attitude.
This point must be nip in the bud as soon as possible.

Yang Yang joined Ajax for the first game, did not play a minute, but the media all over the world are still rushing to report, Ajax regretted a 2-2 away draw with Standard Liege, which made many people feel deeply disappointment.
In the eyes of all the media and fans who are used to seeing the four major leagues and only see the top giants in their eyes, failing to win Standard Liege in the away game is considered a failure, a Waterloo.

But there are also many authoritative media who believe that Yang Yang led the team to 2-2 in the away game, which is quite a good result. Because of the two rounds of the knockout round, the away game was 2-2 in the first round. After returning to Amsterdam, Ajax advanced to the play-offs. Very likely.
Standard Liege coach Prudholm also said in the post-match press conference that Ajax is a very strong team, "They gave us a lot of trouble in the first half tonight. , made us very uncomfortable and very passive, but fortunately, our players withstood the pressure."
"The score of two to two is indeed against us, but we are confident that we can reverse this unfavorable situation in the away game."
Nominal Ajax coach Xavi Alonso also said in the post-match press conference that Ajax was basically satisfied with the result, but was still satisfied with some of the team's performances in the game. Criticize the question and think that the team still needs to continue to strengthen and attract attention.
"We are a very young team. It is normal to have problems. As long as we solve these problems, we are improving. The worst thing is that we have encountered problems and failed to solve them."
Regarding the promotion, Harvey Alonso said that the horoscope has not yet been written. The most critical second round is relatively beneficial to Ajax, but it must not be careless, especially on weekends, Ajax It will usher in the first round of the Eredivisie League of the new season, playing against Hercules at home.
"It will be a challenge for us to fight on two fronts."
But Xavi Alonso believes that the team is ready.
...
The Dutch media are basically satisfied with Ajax’s score of 2-2 in the away game. They believe that the possibility of promotion is very high. At the same time, many people pointed out the team’s problems and believed that Yang Yang needs to work harder to advance to the group stage. .
"Maybe, after returning to the home court, Yang Yang should make a move!"
Many media have made this speculation, thinking that Yang Yang should start, which will be the biggest boost for Ajax.
But just as Ajax returned to Amsterdam overnight from Liege, Belgium, and the next morning, when the team was just about to start recovery training, a call came from the administrative office of the Cruyff Stadium a few hundred meters away. Here comes the news.
Standard Liege sued Ajax to UEFA!
