Chapter 243 Internal and External Troubles

At the end of November, Turin, northern Italy, ushered in the early winter.

With the fiery momentum of the Eredivisie six-game winning streak and the Champions League two-game winning streak, Ajax went all the way south from the cold Amsterdam and swept the city of Turin with great momentum.

But when the referee Konrad Protez from Austria blew the end whistle after ninety minutes of the game, Yang Yang could only helplessly raise his head and clearly felt a chill.

Juventus, which has won four consecutive victories in the group, has not lined up its strongest lineup, but it is strong enough.

Goalkeeper Buffon, the back line are Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Thuram and Trabelsi, and the midfield is Nedved, Tacchinati, Emerson and Camoranesi , the two strikers are Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sarayeta.

Before the game started, Ajax was already in a rather passive embarrassment.

In the first two rounds of the group, they lost 0-1 at home to Juventus and 0-4 away to Bayern Munich. It can be said that these two losses pushed Ajax to a desperate situation, forcing the Eredivisie team to have to follow several times. Continuously take the initiative in the game.

Capello also expected this, so he concentrated on the defensive counterattack.

Ajax launched a rush attack after the opening, and Yang Yang's right flank frequently created threats. Among them, Yang Yang made a cross to the back point. Wesley Songk headed the goal from close range, and slightly rubbed the post to get out of the bottom line. .

But in the 15th minute, Juventus seized the opportunity to counterattack and scored the first time in the penalty area of ​​Ajax. Camoranesi made a cross from the right, and Sarayeta pressed the sea. Tinga headed home.

It was also the only goal of the game.

After conceding the ball, Juventus defended more firmly, and it was difficult for Ajax to break through the opponent's defense.

Yang Yang was frozen by the opponent for the first time in the whole game, and he did not give any threatening attacking highlights except for the pass to Wesley Sunk.

In this game, he faced the left-sided combination of Zambrotta and Nedved, while the double midfielder was the combination of Tacchinati and Emerson, and the central defender was Cannavaro and Thuram.

After Sarayeta scored a goal, Juventus adopted a shrinking defense. Yang Yang could hardly find even a single gap in such a copper wall, and he failed to get any chance.

Juventus' defense is terrible!

Terrible enough to make people feel hopeless!

This is the world's top defensive master Capello, with a group of the world's top defensive players to train the world's top defensive formation!

Yang Yang was convinced that he lost!

Even after this defeat, Ajax were eliminated from the Champions League.

…………

…………

"Hey man, are you alright?"

Ibrahimovic came over and looked at Yang Yang with concern.

This was the first time Yang Yang saw the Swedish center after he left the Netherlands, but he did not expect it to be on such an occasion.

"It's okay." Yang Yang shook his head.

How can it be okay?

Ibrahimovic also understands in his heart that losing is uncomfortable at all, not to mention that Ajax will be eliminated from the Champions League, which is even more uncomfortable.

Although he has only been with Yang Yang for a short period of time, he and Yang Yang get along very well. He knows Yang Yang and knows that Yang Yang seems to be modest and low-key on the surface, but in fact his heart is very strong, and it can even be said to be competitive.

"Brother, this is none of your business, you have tried your best." Ibrahimovic advised.

"I know." Yang Yang nodded.

Ajax is far behind Juventus in terms of the player's card strength or the team's overall strength.

If it was last season, there was still a lot to play, but this season is not at all.

This is not something Yang Yang can change alone, it is the gap in the overall strength of the team.

But even if he understood this, Yang Yang still felt very uncomfortable.

He doesn't like to lose, even hates to lose, he wants to win.

The more natural Yang Yang behaves, the more Ibrahimovic feels the heaviness and depression in his heart, but he has no way to help this kind of thing, and can only rely on Yang Yang to adjust and resolve it himself.

Trabelsi also came over to comfort Yang Yang.

The two of them didn't have much friendship at Ajax before, but they were partners on the right side and worked well with each other.

After Ibrahimovic came to Serie A, he was immediately reused by Juventus and became the main center. The scoring efficiency was not high, but his performance was very good, and the overall level was steadily improved.

Trabelsey's situation is less good, more rotations and substitutes.

Capello is a conservative coach, one-to-zero is his coaching style, so he prefers to use Thuram on the right, and Trabelsi, who is more aggressive, is not favored by him.

Sometimes, professional players are like that.

As the Champions League champion, Ajax left five core main players last season, but so far, the best mix has been Robonte, who joined Fiorentina. He has always been an unstoppable main force.

Followed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as for Trabelsi, Van der Vaart and Escud, it is difficult to play the main force in Juventus and Real Madrid, especially Van der Vaart.

No way, Real Madrid's midfield lineup is too strong.

The five very different experiences also further taught Yang Yang that it is easy to get out of Ajax, but it is difficult to gain a firm foothold in a team better than Ajax.

Players like Van der Vaart and Trabelsey are still like this, so he needs to work harder.

…………

…………

Good brothers met, but ended up killing people on the court.

After losing, Yang Yang was not in the mood to catch up with Ibrahimovic and Trabelsi.

He sees a lot of Ajax players suffering.

Losing this game is a very painful thing for Ajax, because it basically means that the team will be eliminated from the Champions League and enter the UEFA Cup as third place.

Failing to qualify from the group, the club lost a lot of benefits, and the players themselves felt uncomfortable.

A 0-1 loss to Juventus, coupled with the previous 0-4 away defeat to Bayern Munich, made it necessary for Ajax to beat Bayern Munich 4-0 at home to have a chance to qualify.

But everyone knows that this is simply impossible.

If Ajax had such strength, would they be beaten 0-4 on the road?

Yang Yang was also very depressed in his heart. He hated losing more than anyone else, but he had to accept this reality.

"Okay, don't be sad." Yang Yang walked over and stretched out his hand towards Fermaelen, who was sitting on the ground.

In this game, the Belgian central defender was responsible for marking Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and he performed well. The Swedish center basically did not have a good chance, but unexpectedly, Heitinga failed to freeze Sarayeta.

Fermaelen grabbed Yang Yang's hand and got up from the ground, his eyes were red.

"Be strong, losing is not terrible. The most important thing is to learn from experience and lessons. If your skills are not as good as others, let's practice again and try to come back next year for revenge." Yang Yang encouraged.

Fermallen nodded vigorously.

Yang Yang turned his head and saw Maxwell with a frustrated face.

The good man in the locker room has to bear the responsibility of conceding the goal in this game, because his position is a bit high, and when Camoranesi counterattacks, he fails to return to his position as soon as possible. Opportunity for Juventus to cross from the right midfielder.

At this moment, the face of the Brazilian left-back does not have the slightest relaxed smile on his face, but is replaced by shame and guilt.

"Don't be like this, it's not the first time I've lost." Yang Yang pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

Ajax lost horribly at the Bernabeu last season.

"Actually... I was a little anxious at the time, I..." Maxwell's voice was a little choked, and he couldn't continue.

He didn't cry, but looked distressed.

It is completely conceivable that he will be criticized by many media and fans after the game.

Yang Yang patted him on the shoulder hard, "It's alright, if I didn't do it well this time, then try harder. The most important thing now is not pain and discomfort. We don't have time to stop and lick the wound slowly."

After listening to Maxwell, he took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

The league is coming soon.

Ajax are currently fourth in the league and simply do not qualify for next season's Champions League.

So, it's useless to say anything now, only cheer up and play hard is the most practical.

Yang Yang turned and walked towards Heitinga, Sneijder and others.

If it is said that Maxwell lost his position mainly because he inserted the attack, then Heitinga was completely suppressed by Sarayeta, then it can only be said that the gap in personal strength can only be said.

Sneijder failed to play normally throughout the game. Juventus' two midfielders, Emerson and Tacchinati, played very steadily, basically firmly suppressing Ajax's midfielders. Did not give the Eredivisie team the slightest chance.

Yang Yang walked over to comfort his teammates.

…………

…………

On the sidelines, Ronald Koeman watched this scene on the pitch silently.

Like Luther Carroll, he was very happy to see Yang Yang's maturity.

They all know Yang Yang's character and know that at this moment, Yang Yang's mood is definitely worse than that of all the Ajax players present, but he can still endure his inner discomfort and comfort his teammates one by one, which is a kind of progress.

It can be said that in this game, Juventus taught Ajax a good lesson.

Professional football is all about investment. The club sold five generals last season, with an income of nearly 100 million euros. All of them are used to repay their debts. The investment in the transfer market is not large, which makes the overall strength of the team drop a lot. cut.

The 4-0 away defeat to Bayern Munich at the beginning of the season is the best example.

If it weren't for the rapid growth of Yang Yang this season, coupled with the improvement of young players such as Sneijder and Vermaelen, Ajax's performance would only be worse and worse than it is now.

The UEFA Champions League group draw was very unlucky. Juventus and Bayern Munich were drawn, and it is reasonable to fail to qualify.

But what Ronald Koeman is more worried about is, will this blow affect the team's next games?

Can this group of young people, whose average age is only in their early twenties, come out of the shadow of failure as soon as possible?

They lost the Champions League abroad, but at home, PSV is terribly stable, and the team is really in trouble right now.

Ajax really ran out of time.
