Chapter 266 Freeze Him Completely! [The Tenth Update of the Liver, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]

Alkmaar training base, head coach's office.

Van Gaal and three members of the coaching staff are sitting on the sofa, watching intently on the TV on the opposite wall.

The TV is playing the twenty-third round of the Eredivisie that ended last night, Ajax's away game against Roda JC.

This weekend, Van Gaal will take his Alkmaar to the Amsterdam Arena for an away game against Ajax. This will also be the first time he will return to Amsterdam after stepping down as Ajax technical director.

For this game, Van Gaal attaches great importance to it.

Roda JC's strength is not strong, and he could barely hold the first 30 minutes, but in the 33rd minute, Yang Yang created a murderous intention on the right, crossed and assisted Charlesteas to score a header.

Just eight minutes later, Sneijder shoved straight behind him, and Yang Yang easily turned offside to form a single-handed goal, 2-0.

It was not until the 84th minute that Roda JC scored a face-saving goal with Cristiano.

In the end, Ajax defeated Roda JC 2-1 away.

With one pass and one shot, Yang Yang pushed up the number of goals he scored this season to 18.

With PSV, AZ, and Feyenoord all winning, the top four in the league remain unchanged.

Kuyt scored another goal this round, successfully pushing his total to 22 goals.

But now, the video studied by Alkmaar's coaching staff is different from the regular game video. This game video carefully edited by the club's video analyst Max Rex is more conducive to analyzing Ajax's performance. Technical and tactical characteristics.

Among them, Van Gaal attaches the most importance to Yang Yang, the right winger of Ajax.

"The winter break this season should be regarded as a watershed. Before, Ronald Koeman mainly used Sneijder and Pienaar to build the midfield together, and Wesley Sonk and Charlie Steas in the front. and Yang Yang."

"But after the winter break, Ronald Koeman changed his tactics, Pinar was pushed to the left wing, Gallacek and De Jong formed a double midfielder, which is also the current Ajak Ajax’s most commonly used midfield formation, Yang Yang has become Ajax’s most threatening attacking point after the change.”

Twenty-three rounds, 18 goals, 12 assists, and 30 goals. Yang Yang's performance this season can be described as explosive growth, not to mention outside media and fans, even Van Gaal himself. Unbelievable.

Van Gaal still clearly remembers that when he left Ajax, Yang Yang was a serious student. ball.

Now he is no different from half a year ago.

In addition to stopping the ball, Yang Yang's physical confrontation has also improved significantly. This can be seen from his thin body and gradually becoming stronger. This is definitely the result of long-term strength training.

And recently, Yang Yang's shooting has also become more threatening. According to Van Gaal's information, he has insisted on shooting training for three months.

Stopping the ball, power confrontation and shooting, the rapid progress of these three items has made Yang Yang's performance this season improve by leaps and bounds.

At the beginning of the season, many people still expected that Yang Yang could grow into the most threatening winger in the Eredivisie after Robben this season, but now, no one will compare Yang Yang with Robben anymore.

The reason is very simple, Yang Yang's scoring ability has already surpassed Robben, and he is more comprehensive than Robben.

How to limit Yang Yang has become a difficult problem that all teams must face when facing Ajax.

So did Van Gaal.

…………

…………

The more everyone in the coaching room analyzed it, the more surprised they became.

Yang Yang is only eighteen years old, but the strength he shows on the court has made everyone come of age, and even famous stars are far behind. Especially in the last year, it is more like a sudden burst of amazing energy.

"This is not a sudden outbreak." Van Gaal shook his head, denying the judgement of his assistants. "It's accumulated over time."

"Accumulated and thin hair?"

Van Gaal nodded, "You will think that he broke out suddenly, that is because you don't know him at all, if you have personally understood his high demands on yourself and the intensity of training in recent years, you will not be surprised that he is now progress."

The coaching staff looked at each other in dismay.

They are really unfamiliar with Yang Yang, but they are familiar with Van Gaal.

The famous Dutch coach has always been arrogant and arrogant. Even when he faced Rivaldo in Barcelona back then, he didn't give him a good face. Many people even said that his eyes were higher than the top, so he could be seen by him. The players are few and far between.

And it is even rarer for someone like Yang Yang to be so admired by him.

"I know this kid very well. He has strong running ability and excellent physical fitness. Now that his physical strength has come up against him, one-on-one defense is useless for him, but it will affect our defensive position."

Van Gaal rejected an option for many teams, that is to arrange for someone to defend Yang Yang.

But the facts have proved that, one-on-one, no one can hold Yang Yang.

"Our ability to pass and control the ball is definitely not as good as that of Ajax, and our overall strength is not as good as Ajax, so we can only defend and counterattack." Analysis of the game analyst Marcel Bout.

"I think we should still stick to the original defensive system, shrink appropriately, and strengthen the defense in the middle, especially in the front and ribs of the penalty area. This is Yang Yang's most threatening area."

Van Gaal's tactical system is very rigorous and meticulous.

Alkmaar's players are not strong, their ball-handling ability is not up to Van Gaal's requirements, and they can't play the kind of dominant football that Van Gaal wants, so they can only remove the ball and add more. Running without the ball.

It's also very much in line with Alkmaar's usual style, a team that has always been known for hard work and integrity.

If the former Adriance was too aggressive, then Van Gaal's arrival is to inject sanity into the team.

That's why Alkmaar's results have soared this season.

But in the strong dialogue, this team is still very problematic, such as the previous 1-5 defeat to PSV Eindhoven.

However, it was already the second round at the beginning of the season. After more than half of the season, Van Gaal believes that the team still has the strength to challenge Ajax away.

It's just that Yang Yang's confidant must be solved first.

"Yang Yang is a very smart, very thoughtful, and very flexible player. We must pay more attention to him. On the premise of maintaining the stability of the overall defensive formation, we must pay as much attention to his defense as possible. Next week, We're going to arrange a special training session, and we're going to freeze him completely at the Amsterdam Arena!"

Van Gaal spoke loudly, with a tone and expression that didn't seem like a joke at all, and then he explained how to restrain Yang Yang and how to arrange a tight defense. strangeness.

Isn't this Yang Yang's friendship with Van Gaal?

How does it feel to touch Ajax and Yang Yang, but Van Gaal is more ruthless than anyone else?

"What? Is there a problem?" Van Gaal noticed the expressions of his assistants and asked with a frown.

"Louis, you and Yang Yang..." Marcel Bout asked tentatively.

What a smart man Van Gaal was, he read his words and understood immediately what his assistants meant.

"Yes, I do have a relationship with Yang Yang, but I have to put some pressure on him for both public and private purposes."

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Van Gaal smiled.

"His season has been so smooth, I should give him a blow to the head, and let him feel the pressure by the way. People grow the fastest under pressure."

The assistants looked at each other helplessly again, but they felt that this should be more like Van Gaal's eccentricity.

After sending off his assistant, Van Gaal took out his mobile phone with a smile, found Yang Yang's number, and called.

He guessed that Yang Yang should have finished his training at this time and was going home.

This kid's daily routine is almost monotonous.

Sure enough, as soon as the call was made, it was immediately connected.

"Boy, 18 goals have been scored, congratulations."

"Ha, Louis, you've become hypocritical and polite, it's not like you." Yang Yang directly dismantled Van Gaal's "mask".

Van Gaal also laughed outright. He only laughed out loud in front of very few friends, and Yang Yang was one of them.

"I want to tell you that I just prepared a present for you at the Amsterdam Arena for the weekend."

"Really?" Yang Yang also smiled, "So polite? Wouldn't it be to give me a few goals and let me catch up with Kuyt?"

"Okay, can you take it?" Van Gaal asked defiantly.

Yang Yang smiled again, "You know what? I already asked Raiola to help me prepare gifts."

"Gift? For me?"

"Beautiful to you!" Yang Yang scolded with a smile, "I said before that if I score more than 20 goals, I will give Detokmost's coaches, staff and all the players of the first team, each of them one free gift. a gift."

Van Gaal was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you so willing?"

"There is nothing to give up. Although I scored the ball, it is also the credit of everyone in the team. I won the best player in the Toyota Cup before, didn't I get a car? I discounted it and added the contract. The goal bonus is enough to prepare a gift that is ready to go, and I plan to give it at the weekend."

Van Gaal understood this, this kid is fighting back.

He has scored 18 goals now. He said that he will only give gifts after 20 goals, and it will be given at the weekend. That is to say, Yang Yang plans to score twice in this game at the weekend?

"Okay, okay, okay, ambitious, I'll wait, I hope you don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Louis, didn't you say that? I've never let you down."

Van Gaal was at a loss for words.

This is what he said when he was the technical director of Ajax. Is it completely different from his current status?

But how does it sound, there is a feeling that you have set yourself up?

"Okay, let's see you this weekend!"

"Okay, see you on the weekend!"

…………

…………

Midweek, the Dutch Cup quarter-finals.

Ajax played in a half-main half-substitute lineup and beat The Hague 2-0 away.

Yang Yang didn't make it to the big list, so he recharged his energy and was stunned by the weekend's top spot battle with Alkmaar.
