Chapter 1615 God of Football
"After tonight, he will completely become a god!"
In the chairman's stand of the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, who was invited to attend as a guest, looked at the two teams facing each other in the stadium, and praised with emotion in his heart.
Zidane, Manuel Redondo, Butragueno and others beside him all nodded.
After tonight's battle, Yang Yang really became a god!
God of football!
It seems that no one could have imagined that Yang Yang would eventually rule European football for more than ten years. A year ago, no one could have imagined that he had just been coaching alone for only one year. Only half a year after the UEFA coaching certificate, Yang Yang actually led the team to the Champions League final, and it looks like he is going to win the championship!
What an incredible achievement!
If it is said that Yang Yang's previous career is enough to make him a god, then in his first season of coaching, he led a well-recognized Eredivisie team, as a dark horse, abruptly entered the Champions League final, and finally won the championship. He has become the most supreme god!
No one can deny this!
Not even FIFA or UEFA!
It can be said that after tonight, Yang Yang's historical status in world football has become a foregone conclusion!
"Frankly speaking, I know he has a lot of ideas, and I was very optimistic that he could succeed in coaching alone, but my earliest judgment is that he will lead Ajax to the knockout round or return to the quarterfinals within three years at most. "
When Zidane said this, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, because Yang Yang's performance far exceeded his expectations.
Is it not the case with Florentino, Manuel Redondo and Butragueno?
Why don't the media and fans all over the world look down on Yang Yang?
When he coached Ajax a year ago, what did the media and fans say about him?
Many people even think that he gave up on himself. After becoming famous, he began to enjoy football and live on the credit book.
But who would have thought that a year later, he led the Ajax team, which had been weak for more than ten years, to the Champions League final and won the championship!
All those who laughed at or doubted Yang Yang a year ago should feel the slap in the face at this moment.
"He is the most suitable head coach for Real Madrid now, Florentino." Zidane said convincingly.
Florentino nodded repeatedly. His friendship with Zidane did not require any hypocrisy or perfunctory, as if Zidane and Yang Yang had never been polite, because their relationship had already surpassed that level.
"The current Ajax team is a treasure trove. I am sure that in the next ten years, the players from this team will shine in European football, and even dominate European football. So don't hesitate at the critical moment. ’” Zidane reminded.
Florentino looked solemn, but nodded firmly, "I know Yang Yang's character, so I will be the bad guy. As for the Ajax players...we will never let go easily!"
This is the team that is about to win the Champions League!
More importantly, the age of this group of players.
In the current main lineup of Ajax, the oldest is Tagliafico, who is only 26 years old. It can be said that he is in his prime, and Ndombele, Frankie De Jong, Jovic, Militao and others are only in their early twenties.
The brilliant De Ligt and Sancho are only 19 years old, and Ashraf and Neres are only 20 years old.
But relying on this group of players, Yang Yang insisted on bringing them to the Champions League final. What an amazing coaching performance?
This group of young players still has at least ten years left. How far will they develop in the next ten years?
You must know that in addition to many factors such as strength and potential, a player's worth also has a very important consideration that is age.
For example, Mbappe may not be as strong as Neymar now, and his potential may not reach the height of Neymar, but if he transfers now, his worth will definitely be higher than Neymar.
The reason is simple, Neymar is 27 years old, while Mbappe is only 20 years old.
The age gap has made Mbappe's worth soaring, even surpassing Neymar.
The same is true of Ajax players now.
Sometimes, Florentino really admires Yang Yang's eyesight and skill.
Let’s just talk about Odegaard, who just replaced Ndombele. This player performed poorly in the Real Madrid youth training camp and did not perform well in Waiters, but he found a path in Ajax that belongs to him. He has shown amazing potential in the middle of the midfield.
After the end of this season, the transfer of Frankie De Jong is a foregone conclusion, and Odegaard took advantage of the trend. He will become the core of Ajax's new generation of midfielders and a star that Ajax will focus on cultivating and building.
Not long ago, Yang Yang just completed the three-year agreement with excellent results, and bought the remaining shares of Ajax for 100 million euros, and he only spent 150 million euros to acquire Ajax. But now, the transfer fee of Frankie De Jong alone is almost this price.
And what about the other players?
De Ligt, Jovic, Militao, Ndombele, Sancho, Neres...
Yang Yang simply lost his money!
He completed the most valuable transaction in football history!
Of course, from Florentino's standpoint, he doesn't mind Real Madrid's introduction of Ajax players at high prices, and even bought back Odegaard and Ashraf at high prices.
The reason is simple. Real Madrid is a membership-based team. The club cannot make a profit, otherwise it will have to pay heavy taxes. Therefore, over the years, Real Madrid has been struggling with profitability every year.
For Real Madrid, the most important thing is not the transfer fee, as long as it is within the range that the club can afford, Real Madrid doesn't care, the key is whether the joining of players can bring Real Madrid a championship!
If Florentino was still worried before, then now, he has no doubts!

…………
On the court, Ajax first completed a substitution in the 74th minute.
Erdegao replaced Ndombele, who consumed a lot of energy, and continued to play with double midfielders, but the two technical double midfielders mostly adopted pass control to maintain the team's advantage.
Ndombele's performance tonight was not outstanding, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but this is not easy.
Only five minutes later, Yang Yang replaced Sancho with Van der Beek, Ajax changed to 442, Odegaola went to the right, and the team began to retract appropriately.
With two goals in hand, Yang Yang does not intend to continue to fight with Klopp.
Adopting a more balanced 442 is also a deterrent to Liverpool, that is, Ajax hopes that Liverpool will come out.
But it was not until the eighty-fifth minute that Ajax completed the third substitution.
The teenager Harland replaced Jovic on the field and partnered with Yang Yang as a double striker.
Unlike Jovic, Haaland's sprint speed is faster and his performance is more vigorous.
The Norwegian teenager lived up to Yang Yang's expectations. Within two minutes of playing, he dribbled the ball straight in from his own half, abruptly rushed to the front of Liverpool's penalty area, and shot directly, forcing Alisson to save the ball out of the baseline.
Even Van Dijk, who has performed calmly this season, can't stand up to this young tiger. The performance of the Norwegian teenager is impressive.
...
Yang Yang's substitutions can be said to be one link behind the other.
It is not easy to take risks, but it is not too conservative, but steadily consumes time.
This made Klopp feel very helpless. He also wanted to counterattack, but several counterattacks failed. Instead, Ajax seized the opportunity to score. Even Harland almost scored just now.
It's not that Klopp doesn't want to win, but there is no good way.
After a season of training, Yang Yang's Ajax team has become very mature, and the growth and progress of the players has been so rapid that in the finals, they performed very calmly and sophisticatedly.
It can be said that, apart from the start, Liverpool couldn't find the slightest chance.
On the tactical level, it can be said that Liverpool can't get any cheap, and the whole game was suppressed by Ajax.
Under such circumstances, how could Klopp hope to reverse at the last moment?
As a result, the game time is slowly consumed like this.
Liverpool tried to organize and plan the attack several times, but was suppressed by Ajax time and time again.
Only the fans of the Red Army are still singing the team song "You Will Never Walk Alone" in the stands, encouraging the Liverpool players on the pitch, and the fans of Ajax are also not to be outdone, and are frantically cheering for Ajax. Cheers and players cheer.
Eventually, the game time runs out!
...
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Wanda Metropolitano went into a frenzy!
Almost all Ajax fans rushed up wildly, cheering non-stop, dancing and celebrating the victory!
On the sidelines of the court, Ajax's coaching staff, players and staff also rushed into the court frantically, hugging the players who had fought for 90 minutes on the court and celebrating wildly.
"fifteen years!"
"After fifteen years of absence, there is finally a dark horse in European football again!"
"What's interesting is that 15 years ago, the dark horse Ajax made it all the way to the final of the Champions League and finally won the championship, and 15 years later, Ajax reached the final of the Champions League and beat Liverpool to win the championship. It is a kind of reincarnation of history!"
"In the season 15 years ago, Yang Yang was a fledgling and came to the fore. He was not the number one star in the Ajax team, but he played a vital role. It was in that season that he made the world know for the first time. he!"
"Today, fifteen years later, he is already a 32-year-old veteran, and he is getting old, but as a player and head coach, he led the team to the Champions League final. With two goals, the audience suppressed Tactical advantage led Ajax to win the UEFA Champions League after a 15-year absence, becoming the first non-Big Four League team to win the UEFA Champions League in the past 15 years."
"Let's congratulate Yang Yang! Congratulations to Ajax! Congratulations to this group of young players!"
"They have created a miracle again, they have injected a fresh blood into this dull European football for many years!"
"We would like to thank Yang Yang! Thank you for the Ajax team he brought out! Thank you for the miracle he created! Thank you for making us believe that we don't need to blindly pile up stars if we want to achieve results in European football!"
"Tonight, the whole world belongs to Yang Yang!"
