Chapter 1589 This Scene Looks a Bit Different!

After the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals, the media and fans all over the world were shocked.

Juventus vowed to return to Italy for revenge and reversal, while Ajax still kept a low profile.

After returning to the Eredivisie, Yang Yang rotated ten players in one go, only goalkeeper Onana continued to start, but Ajax was still at home, beating the visiting Rotterdam Elite 7-1.

Two talented players from Norway directed five goals, Haaland scored a hat-trick and an assist, Odegaard scored twice and an assist, and the rest of the players such as Mullen, Stens and Rosa Rio and other players performed well.

Although it was a seven-to-one victory, for Ajax, which has already won the championship ahead of schedule, this game has little meaning. It is more about pleasing the fans from the scene and examining the performance of the players.

In the 32nd round of Serie A at the same time as Ajax, Juventus challenged Spal in an away game. After Keane scored a goal for Juventus in the first half, he conceded two goals in the second half. In the end, they lost 1-2 away.

But everyone can see that Allegri has undergone a large rotation in this game, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Dybala and other players did not play, obviously he is also saving his strength to prepare for the Champions League.

To make matters worse, center Mandzukic was injured after playing Ajax and was destined to miss the second round of the match between the two sides, while Ajax also retired Tagliafico injured.

Both teams have injuries and downsizing, which also makes people look forward to the second round of the game.

Everyone wants to see if Yang Yang can still create surprises in the away game like he did in the first round.

…………

…………

On the evening of April 16, the Champions League quarter-finals will be played in the second round.

After the 90-minute contest between the two sides in the first round, the second round of the two teams will undoubtedly become more targeted.

Needless to say Allegri's Juventus, the Italian coach has always been known for his tactics.

After learning the experience and lessons of the first round, Allegri took the initiative to adjust his tactics in the second round, adopting a formation similar to 4312, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala at the forefront, Em Ray Can's position is higher than other midfielders, while Matuidi, Pjanic and Bernardeschi are relatively low.

Juventus's targeted strategy is very clear, that is, to use Emre Can to oppress Ajax's delayed midfielder Frankie De Jong, hoping to suppress Ajax's pass control in this way ball tissue.

You know, the reason why Ajax was able to win in the first round was due to Frankie De Jong's delayed organization and scheduling. The Dutch midfielder also won the honor of the best player in the game.

A week later, Allegri wanted to further restrict Frankie de Jong, which is naturally a matter of course.

Mandzukic's injury made Allegri switch to the combination of two forwards, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala. Obviously, he still hopes to defeat Ajax through an overall stable defense and sharp and fast counterattack. .

In contrast, Yang Yang did not make too many adjustments to Ajax.

After a week of rest, the Young Guards still responded with a four-three-three formation. The difference from the first round was that Tagliafico's injury allowed Brazilian left-back Jorge to qualify for the starting lineup.

Similarly, Yang Yang, who scored twice, was absent from the starting lineup again, and Van der Beek, who performed well in the first round, still started.

Like Allegri's strategy, Van der Beek's tactical goal is still a single midfielder Pjanic.

...

The difference from the first round was that in the second round, Juventus fell behind by two goals and could no longer be conservative after returning home.

Allegri's side pushed forward from the start, aggressively pressing high and trying to keep Ajax down.

And even though it was an away game and gained an advantage of two goals, Ajax also played unconservatively.

After resting for a week, this group of young players became lively again. They output full power from the beginning of the game, cover with crazy running, relentless pressing and pressing, and entered a fast-paced battle with Juventus. Not conservative at all.

What's interesting is that both sides played fast, and no one kept their hands. Everyone wanted to play fast, but no one scored a goal.

Unlike Ajax, Juventus' fast pace lasted only ten minutes.

The reason is simple, they are older and less able to last.

On the contrary, Ajax is young and strong, not only has better physical fitness, but also has stronger running ability. It's completely different.

They ran wildly on the court, covering almost every corner of the court.

This caused the Juventus players to be very depressed, because no matter where they grabbed the ball or received the ball, they would immediately be forced by the Ajax players.

These crazy boys can always use almost exaggerated running. At any time, in any area of ​​the court, they can form a defensive numerical advantage in the shortest time, and then press the opponent.

Among them, the picture that best reflects the characteristics of Ajax appeared in the 21st minute.

At that time, Sancho, Ndombele and Ashraf, who came in from behind, tried to form a two-on-one cooperation on the wing. As a result, Sandro took the first step to intercept the ball and the ball changed hands.

At the moment of stealing the ball, Sandro was surrounded by three Juventus players, namely Matuidi who was the closest, Emre Can who was pulling in front and Pjanic who was dragging behind. They are all his most suitable routes.

But after successfully stealing the ball, Sandro was quickly entangled by Sancho, and then Ajax quickly attacked Sandro and the ball around him in less than two seconds. The line was blocked and cut, and a four-on-three siege was formed in some areas.

In the end, Sandro was unable to pass the ball, and was eventually snatched back by Sancho, which quickly turned into a fast attack by Ajax. Jovic grabbed a point in the penalty area and hit the goal slightly wide.

Seeing this scene, Allegri slapped his forehead vigorously on the sidelines, obviously very distressed.

The more Yang Yang's team plays, the more confident they are, and the more they play, the more organized they are.

Obviously, he has been groping and improving before, and after every game, he is summarizing and analyzing, and the improved Ajax is getting stronger and stronger.

If you look at the scene alone, who would believe that the one in the white striped shirt is Juventus, who has reached the Champions League final twice?

And the one wearing the black away jersey will be Ajax, the youngest among the top 32 in the Champions League, with an average age of only around 20?

This scene looks a bit different!

However, Allegri has no very effective way to do this.

Why did Yang Yang dare not start in the second round?

Because he saw through Juventus' weakness!

He knows that even if he doesn't start, he can still suppress his opponent, so good steel must be used wisely!

…………

…………

"I'm really feeling right now why we're a team full of hope."

Harvey Alonso said with admiration from the sidelines.

He is more and more satisfied with the performance of Ajax's players on the field. He even feels that he has no way to make more demands on this group of young boys, because any more will seem harsh.

Both the trident and Van der Beek in the frontcourt can provide running oppression at no cost to physical strength, and actively participate in counter-attacks on the spot. The positions of the double midfielders Frankie de Jong and Ndombele are very flexible. The situation moves, and you can keep up with your teammates in front of you at any time.

The counter-grab against Sandro just now was Ndombele's immediate pressure, and Frankie de Jong took the initiative to delay the defense, which caused the players in front to let go of their hands and feet, and then snatched the ball down.

There are also two central defenders, Militao and Dericht also have a wide range of activities. They did not limit themselves to the central defender position, but flexibly pulled the side and pressed forward, especially Militao, he can often even press Go up to the midfield to cover because he has a quick recovery.

Harvey Alonso looked at Yang Yang full of admiration, and now he began to understand what Yang Yang had said to him before the season.

At that time, everything was still very unclear, but Yang Yang was full of confidence in Ajax. Now, this group of players has gradually kicked out, and Ajax is gradually fulfilling the promises Yang Yang needed before the season and realizing what he wanted. wanted football.

And all of this came from Yang Yang's indoctrination and his persistence!

"You still can't be careless, Juventus is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Yang Yang said cautiously.

Sometimes he can be very adventurous, but at any time he is still the cautious and steady Yang Yang.

Just like Mao Zedong said, we must despise our opponents strategically, but we must pay attention to them tactically.

What's more, Yang Yang knew very well in his heart that Ajax was not so strong that he was invincible. On the contrary, Ajax's achievements were all achieved by his own efforts. A little slack, or a slight mistake, will cause irreparable losses anytime and anywhere.

...

While Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso were watching the situation, something happened suddenly on the court.

Bernardeschi's shot was blocked out of the baseline and turned into a Juventus corner.

Pjanic took a corner kick, and in the penalty area, many Juventus players took the initiative to attack.

Bonucci and his teammates blocked Ajax's defenders at the same time. Cristiano Ronaldo originally deliberately fell behind, but suddenly bypassed the densest center of the crowd and rushed to the front to fight.

Dericht reacted immediately and tried to block the Portuguese, but was affected by Bonucci, and Militao collided with each other and both fell to the ground.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaps high and hits the goal with a header!

Goals in three consecutive games!

One to zero!

The total score is two to three!
