Chapter 214 Although Defeated, Still Glorious

The Monaco fans at the Louis II Stadium were reluctant to applaud Ajax and applaud Yang Yang.

The reason is simple, they hate this team, they hate this person.

In last season's Champions League semi-finals, Yang Yang helped Ajax beat Monaco 3-0 at home in the first round, and then in the second round, when Galasek was sent off with a red card, It was Yang Yang who assisted Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score a goal and tied Monaco one-to-one.

It can be said that the goal in the second round completely destroyed the morale of Monaco, and then the red cards of the team's long Li and Zikos only deepened the degree.

With the grievances of last season, the fans of Monaco have booed Ajax and applauded Valencia since the beginning of the game. They are going to take revenge on Ajax and Yang Yang in this way.

The development of the game is also very in line with their expectations. Ajax's right wing is almost useless under the attack of Vicente, a top European winger. The waist also firmly suppressed Ajax's midfield.

The Eredivisie team has fallen a lot after selling five players.

In the Netherlands, it is still powerful, but in European football, Ajax has long been reduced to second-rate or even third-rate.

Vicente's two attacks on the left side tore apart Ajax's defense. Baraja and Diwayo's goals completely sent Ajax into the abyss of despair.

Tinker Ranieri is considered by many to be one of the most underrated managers in European football, and in tonight's fight at the Stade Louis II, he completely overwhelmed Ronald Koeman.

Weakness behind him, Yang Yang had to retreat frequently to help, coupled with the loss of the midfield, it was difficult for him to get a chance.

Even, if it weren't for Valencia's poor ability to seize opportunities, it is really possible to lose a big score.

The huge gap in the overall strength of the two teams cannot be changed by Yang Yang alone.

Monaco fans are happy to see Ajax lose.

From the 66th minute, Valencia scored the second goal, the Bat Legion has deliberately slowed down the rhythm.

Because they have to return to La Liga to play a league game next, they don't need to continue to fight with Ajax when they have secured the victory. Therefore, Ranieri quickly replaced Corradi with Aimar. Strengthen midfield control.

This is the gap.

Aimar, who is known as an Argentine genius, can only be a substitute in the current Valencia team. Every position in Valencia is an international player from a major football power.

But under the circumstances that Valencia can basically be said to be winning, Yang Yang still did not give up.

…………

…………

Yang Yang ran without hesitation in the frontcourt, kept going up and down, and he worked hard for every opportunity.

He felt like he had returned to the Almere youth academy. He felt like a headless fly who could only run around on the pitch, rushing around and waiting for opportunities.

He deeply realized the disparity in strength between the two sides.

As a strong team in the upper reaches of La Liga, it has reached the Champions League final twice. Last season, it beat Barcelona, ​​Deportivo and Real Madrid and won the La Liga championship. Valencia is stronger than Ajax. A notch higher.

It was as if the teammates in the Almere youth academy were one level higher than him.

Sometimes, it is really impossible to fight, and you can only keep running.

He knows that there is no team in the world that doesn't lose, but he really doesn't want the team to lose like this.

The whole game was so embarrassingly suppressed by the opponent that he could not even make a decent attack. If he really lost like this, what a tragic blow would it be to Ajax?

Maybe it was Yang Yang's infection, or maybe every player was holding back their anger, Ajax's players gradually rekindled their fighting spirit, especially led by Sneijder, De Jong and Heitinga. A group of Ajax's direct descendants began to cooperate with Yang Yang and pressed Valencia at the same time.

As soon as there is a chance, immediately launch a counterattack.

Cullo Torres, a Portuguese full-back, had high hopes for this game by Ranieri and pressed Yang Yang step by step.

In addition, Marchena, the left centerback who is not tall, but has a fast speed and a brave style, as well as Baraja and Albelda, who are rated as the top double midfielders in Europe by many professionals, plus an Italian who is good at tuning defense. Coach Ranieri, Yang Yang failed to get a chance the whole game.

But he can clearly feel that the Valencia players are starting to stay motivated.

They've got the ball, they've won, and they're starting to let their guard down as game time draws nearer.

The opportunity is getting closer.

Yang Yang kept encouraging himself.

Although he was very sensible and knew clearly that the opportunity might not come, he continued to run.

If you run, you may have a chance, but if you don't run, you have no chance at all.

He could feel that his physical energy was rapidly draining, but he still clenched his teeth to support it.

Seventy minutes...seventy-five minutes...eighty minutes...eighty-five minutes

Time flies by.

Valencia also stopped attacking, and it looked like they were content with a 2-0 scoreline and were planning to save their energy and go back to La Liga.

It was the first round, against Villarreal at home, and it was impossible to lose.

If the game ends here, it's just what they want.

But Yang Yang and his teammates obviously don't think so, and some people in the Valencia team don't think so.

When Aimar took the ball and Sneijder returned to the defense, the Argentine midfielder wanted to break through De Jong by relying on his personal ability.

He needs to perform in front of Ranieri, prove his strength, and strive for a main position.

But just when Aimar tried to break through De Jong, Sneijder, who was back on defense, suddenly rushed out from behind, stabbed the ball under his feet first, and tripped the Argentine attacking midfielder at the same time.

But the referee did not call a foul.

After De Jong got the ball, he quickly passed the ball forward and went directly to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang had his back to the attacking direction, and Cullo Torres was behind him, and he knew very well that he couldn't catch the ball and turn around.

As soon as he catches the ball and turns, he is immediately entangled by the Portuguese.

And his only advantage is speed.

At this moment, Yang Yang's mind was extremely calm, as if the air around him was condensed, only the football flying in front of him and Cullo Torres behind him.

He gently raised his right foot, facing the flying football, his outer instep swung along, letting the high-speed flying football pass by his right side, and turned to the left at the same time, throwing away Cullo. Torres' entanglement caught up with him at the fastest speed.

...

"Beautiful people have divided the ball, from Yang Yang!"

"Ajax launched a counter-attack, Yang Yang on the right scored the ball and broke through Valencia's defense."

...

Yang Yang gritted his teeth, caught up with the football at the fastest speed, and rushed towards the goal with the ball all the way.

Valencia's return to defense was also extremely fast, and Marchena was the first to return to his position. Facing Yang Yang, who rushed over, he immediately wanted to bully him, and it was best to use his body to hold this thin Chinese people.

But before he could get close, Yang Yang suddenly made an emergency stop and smashed the ball to the inside, so scared that Marchena also changed his mind and wanted to block.

But Yang Yang dunked his left foot, and the whole person changed direction again, swayed past Marchena, and successfully dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

...

"The pendulum is amazing!!"

"Yang Yang broke through Marchena, entered the penalty area, and faced goalkeeper Canizares directly!"

...

Canizares is very experienced. He resolutely abandoned the goal the moment Yang Yang broke through Marchena, and grasped the timing just right, spreading his arms as much as possible to block Yang Yang's shooting angle.

But he is already thirty-four years old, his physical function is slightly slower than that of the young goalkeeper, and he is only 1.81 meters tall, so his height control is still slightly insufficient. Therefore, before he can get close, Yang Yang gently picks him.

The football crossed Canizares's head, crossed a parabola, and slowly fell to the goal behind him.

Valencia's other central defender, Navarro, quickly chased back to the goal, trying to destroy the shot, but unfortunately, the final result was that he even dribbled the ball into the goal line.

beep! ! ! !

"Goal works!"

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang!!"

"In the 88th minute, Yang Yang scored a goal for Ajax!"

"It's a reward for his hard work in this game."

"A very exciting individual performance, Yang Yang single-handedly broke through Valencia's defense line."

"One to two, Ajax pulled one game back."

"Monaco fans at the scene also responded with warm applause."

"Indeed, Ajax's overall strength is not as good as Valencia, and Yang Yang was closely guarded by the opponent throughout the game."

"Ranieri has repeatedly said before the game that freezing Yang Yang is Valencia's top priority for defense in this game."

"As a result, the seventeen-year-old was once again shocking."

"His fighting spirit is indeed quite tenacious. We can see that under his inspiration, the players of Ajax did not give up even when they were two goals behind and the difference in strength was huge."

"This young teenager has made a big impression."

"The game is about to end, and Ranieri is also preparing to make substitutions. The game can basically be said to be the overall situation."

"But Ajax's performance is still worthy of recognition, especially the young player Yang Yang, his tenacious fighting spirit has left a deep impression on us, and this goal in the final stage has given us a new understanding of his strength. ."

"It can be said that Yang Yang created the only bright spot for Ajax in this game. Although he lost, he was still honored."

...

The referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

One to two, Ajax lost the European Super Cup.

At the end of the game, Yang Yang collapsed and sat on the grass, he had tried his best.

But unfortunately, Ajax still lost.

"Good job." Vicente came over panting, took off his jersey while walking, and handed it to Yang Yang.

The exchange of jerseys represents Vicente's affirmation of Yang Yang's performance in this game.

"Thank you." Yang Yang got up, took off his jersey, and handed it to the left winger of the Bat Legion.

This is a talented winger recognized all over Europe. At the age of 19, Valencia spent 27 million euros for him in a transfer fee. Last season, Valencia won La Liga and the UEFA Cup. achievement.

"Come on." Vicente was only twenty-three years old, not too old, and didn't know how to comfort people.

Watching him leave, and looking at the Valencia No. 14 jersey in his hand, Yang Yang couldn't help clenching his right hand holding the jersey.
