Chapter 238 Difficulties

Almost at the moment when the whistle sounded, the entire Philip Stadium boiled.

Thirty-five thousand Eindhoven fans roared in unison.

After the referee Dick van Egmond blew the whistle, he quickly ran into the penalty area of ​​PSV Eindhoven, ran in front of the Brazilian central defender Alex, reached into his chest pocket, high Holds up a scarlet card.

In an instant, the Eindhoven fans were in a frenzy.

"The referee Van Egmond showed a red card to Alex!"

"It's a foul on the PSV centre-back, and at the same time it points to a penalty."

"When Yang Yang took the ball in the last step, he had already rushed into the penalty area. This was an undisputed penalty."

"From the slow-motion replay, the movements of the Alexis are very obvious, and from the replay from different angles, Yang Yang has indeed rushed into the penalty area. As the last defensive player, Alex has to defend himself. The foul pays the price."

"That said, PSV will have to accept a second half with one man less than their opponents while also conceding a goal."

Eindhoven's players looked very angry. Cocu and Van Bommel quickly rushed to the referee, obviously indicating that the penalty for a red card and a penalty kick was too severe, but the referee kept pointing his eyes to show that he saw it. very clearly.

Cocu and Van Bommel are still trying to fight for it, but the referee is very determined.

"There is no doubt that it was a very obvious foul, and the referee's decision is indisputable."

"The PSV players should be calm now, they should try to control their emotions, otherwise they will get another card."

Charlesteas came over, stretched out his right hand, and pulled up Yang Yang, who was still lying on the ground.

"here you go."

"Nice job." Sneijder also rushed over and smiled.

A penalty kick was sent off and one of the opposing players was sent off, which was definitely a change that could change the situation in the second half.

Yang Yang's performance in the first half was not as eye-catching as the previous two games, but at the critical moment, when he got the opportunity, he also unceremoniously gave his opponent a fatal blow.

It can be said that the counterattack just now was very crucial, reflecting Yang Yang's calmness at the critical moment.

After Yang Yang got up from the ground, he sorted out his jersey and was pulled a little off the line. It can be seen that Alex really wanted to foul on purpose just now, but he should not have thought that Yang Yang had already rushed into the penalty area.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Alex didn't have time to react.

In front of the coaches of the home and away teams on the sidelines, Hiddink and Ronald Koeman reacted in complete opposites. Hiddink roared angrily, apparently thinking that the referee was deliberately partial to Ajax and should not give Egypt Inhoven was so harshly executed.

"You're killing the game, understand?" the PSV coach roared.

Ronald Koeman is cheering, this red card, this penalty, is too crucial for Ajax.

But the question that comes with it is, who will take the penalty?

"The referee stabilized the emotions of the PSV players. He was not influenced by the home team players and fans."

"He was obviously pretty sure it was a foul and it should have been a penalty."

"Alex walked out of the pitch with his head down, the Brazilian central defender should be held responsible for his foul."

"With a little time until the end of the first half, who will Ajax take the penalty?"

...

"You still come!" Sneijder looked at Yang Yang deeply.

Yang Yang shook his head, "No, you should go. You are the team's number one penalty taker."

"I missed the penalty once before, I'm not sure." Sneijder said with some embarrassment.

Yang Yang looked at Charlie Steas and Wesley Sonk, as well as Pinar and other teammates, and these people also looked at Yang Yang, and Pinar nodded towards Yang Yang to express his encouragement.

"You had a high rate of penalty kicks before, so it's best for you to take the penalty."

Yang Yang has only taken two penalty kicks so far, and he has hit both directly.

More importantly, Yang Yang directly pushed the middle of the two penalty kicks, showing his strong psychological quality.

Therefore, both Sneijder and Pinar believe that it is the most appropriate for Yang Yang to take the penalty.

Needless to say Charlie Steas, Wesley Sonk's mental quality is really not strong, Sneijder missed a penalty before, and there is a psychological shadow, plus Yang Yang earned this penalty kick, naturally It was him who took the penalty.

"Don't be under pressure, we have a red card advantage, it's fine." Sneijder reassured.

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, saying that, maybe there is no pressure?

…………

…………

"It seems that they are going to recommend Yang Yang to take the penalty." Ronald Koeman was a little surprised.

Luther Carroll's eyes flashed a hint of joy, which represented the recognition of Yang Yang by a group of players headed by Sneijder.

"Sneijder missed a penalty before, it is estimated that there is a shadow."

"Yeah." Ronald Koeman nodded, "After Van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic left the team, Galasek didn't play this game, except for Sneijder, who is most suitable for penalty kicks. It's Yang Yang."

"The focus of the whole Netherlands is the battle, and it is at the Philip Stadium, under the watchful eyes of 35,000 fans, such a penalty kick is more pressure than a mountain. I don't know if he can handle it." Luther · Carroll is also a little worried.

Ronald Koeman nodded, it was true, but this was also a challenge Yang Yang had to face.

"Eindhoven's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez has been on the rise this season. He grabbed the main position when he first arrived and is in excellent form. Such players are very dangerous, and Yang Yang may not be able to take advantage."

Luther Carroll agreed with Ronald Koeman's judgment very much, and there was a trace of worry on his face.

But this is also a difficulty that a new team standard bearer must overcome.

If you can't calm down and play stably at this time, how can you be convincing?

How can everyone be convinced that he can lead Ajax to success?

…………

Thulelio Gomez, 23 years old, 1.91 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms.

This summer, he moved from Brazil to PSV Eindhoven for one million euros. He made a mistake when facing Rosendahl in the first game of the new season, and was refrigerated by Hiddink for three rounds.

Since the away game against Nijmegen on September 18, he has regained his position as the main force, helping the team to defeat the opponent 3-0 away, and started all the next five games and played all the games, but only Lost a ball.

That's right, it's the ball he conceded in the away game against Rosenberg on Wednesday, and it's not a big responsibility for him.

And as of tonight, he has kept four consecutive clean sheets in the Eredivisie League, 360 clean sheets.

It can be said that he is one of the core contributors to PSV's victory in the past four rounds.

Yang Yang looked deeply at the tall and burly Brazilian goalkeeper, who was also watching him.

Suddenly, Yang Yang thought that before Gomez came to PSV, Cruzeiro was the team he played for.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang immediately looked at Maicon not far behind and waved at him.

Maicon ran over quickly, "Is something wrong?"

"Does Gomez have any habit of throwing penalty kicks?" Yang Yang asked with concern, but his eyes were fixed on Gomez in the distance.

The Brazilian goalkeeper also noticed Maicon, knowing that this was his teammate in Cruzeiro for many years.

Maicon also looked at Gomez, "No special habits, but he is a right-footed player and seems to prefer to play on the left."

Yang Yang nodded deliberately and forcefully, patted Maicon on the shoulder, indicating that it was ok, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Maicon quickly returned to his position.

Yang Yang took a deep breath, looked directly at Gomez, walked into the penalty area calmly, placed the football at the penalty spot, stepped on the turf behind the football, and slowly stepped back.

He kept an eye on Gomez's actions the whole time, with a small smile on his face.

Did former teammate Maicon reveal any secret to Yang Yang?

Gomez has doubts.

For this kind of thing, he couldn't blame Maicon. After all, everyone had their own masters. He just scratched his head and couldn't figure it out. What could Maicon tell Yang Yang?

But the referee did not give him time to think. After Yang Yang set the ball and retreated to his position, he blew the free throw whistle soon.

For a moment, the 35,000 fans almost held their breaths.

Even at this moment, countless Dutch fans who were squatting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the game also held their breaths, and their eyes all fell on Yang Yang, who was wearing the No. 11 jersey.

After taking a few quick breaths, Yang Yang took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly.

Gomez is also quickly predicting his free throw line based on Yang Yang's movements, but he can be said to be ignorant of Yang Yang's habits. When he saw Yang Yang posing to the right of the goal, he immediately realized As a right-footer, the left side of the body is indeed weak.

Almost in an instant, Gomez flew to make a save.

He knew very well that it would be too late to react until Yang Yang made a free throw.

But Yang Yang suddenly paused and quickly launched a penalty kick.

"My God, it's going straight to the middle again!"

"God, Yang Yang took the ball to the middle with ease!"

"This is already the third consecutive penalty kick he has hit the middle of the road."

"We even have to wonder, is this his free throw habit?"

"But it's undeniable that he calmly took the penalty three times!"

"One to zero!"

"The current situation is quite favorable for Ajax. Yang Yang's personal performance near the end of the first half, after passing two defenders of the opponent in a row, created a red card for Alex and calmly punished Penalty."

"After keeping a clean sheet for 400 minutes, Gomez finally got the goal!"

The moment Yang Yang scored a penalty kick, he rushed out of the court excitedly.

So exciting!

It's also a gamble!

Of course, he paused deliberately because he clearly saw Gomez's reaction.

The Brazilian goalkeeper must be guessing that Yang Yang must have gotten some secret from Maicon, but in fact, the Brazilian right-back did not give any useful information at all.

But this move before the penalty kick left Gomez with a seed of doubt, allowing him to make a judgment in advance.

It's such a fun feeling!
