Although Yang Yang and Van Gaal had a very relaxed chat on the phone, in the Netherlands, Ajax's match against Alkmaar was a battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Eredivisie League this season.
Alkmaar currently leads the standings with 56 points, Eindhoven is close behind with 55 points, Ajax is third with 54 points, and Feyenoord in fourth place is only Forty-four points.
Judging from the ranking of the standings, it is difficult for other teams, including Feyenoord, to shake the ranking of the top three teams, and the championship will be born from these three teams.
Judging from the results of this season's battles, these three teams are relatively stable, and they have basically won all the points they deserved, which makes the number of matches against each other very important, especially in the second half of the season. Procedure.
Ajax vs AZ Alkmaar, in a way, even decides the title of the league.
Because of this, both sides pay special attention to it.
Ronald Koeman arranged a lot of player rotations in the Dutch Cup in order to concentrate on preparing for Alkmaar.
Van Gaal's return to the Amsterdam Arena, and he is still the head coach of the visiting team, will undoubtedly make this game even more interesting. Now that Alkmaar is at the top of the list, it is impossible to give up the lead. Sheep location.
Both teams are determined to win, and the entire Netherlands can also be said to be a national concern.
On the day of the match, the Amsterdam Arena was full of seats. In addition to the Ajax fans, because Alkmaar was not far from Amsterdam, there were also a large number of fans of the away team.
When the players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel and walked into the stadium, the scene was huge, with cheers and boos mixed.
In that battle, even the players of Ajax were quite surprised.
As Alkmaar is so close to Amsterdam, the two teams have a deep player relationship with each other, for example Vlar on the Ajax bench is from Alkmaar.
In this match against Yang Yang, Alkmaar left back Tim De Kler came from the Ajax youth training.
Tim de Kler, 25 years old The youngster of the youth training, but was not liked by Ronald Koeman, and was dug to Alkmaar by Adriance.
This left-back has good offensive and defensive abilities. He belongs to a player with a very balanced attack and defense. This season, Van Gaal has always relied heavily on the left-back giant. If he wants to dig hard, he is not fast enough and not flexible enough. Krell's shortcomings.
And this player is also Van Gaal's key deployment for freezing Yang Yang tonight.
…………
…………
Although in the super training ground last night, Yang Yang specially simulated the entire back line of De Kler and Alkmaar, and conducted a simulated match for most of the night, but when it came to the game, he still found that his opponent was more difficult. Tough.
Simulated duels can only be simulated, but actual combat is completely different.
Especially when Alkmaar's players have been deployed and rehearsed by Van Gaal, they seem to have created an iron cage in the left half of their own half. The iron bars of the iron cage, and Yang Yang is the bird imprisoned in this cage.
Van Gaal was as expected before the game. He did not specially arrange manpower to mark Yang Yang, but he used zone defense to imprison Yang Yang and cut off Yang Yang's contact with other players in the frontcourt, midfield and backcourt.
This set of targeted defensive tactics of Alkmaar effectively curbed Yang Yang's performance after the opening. Feel.
Yang Yang realized this quickly, and he immediately expanded his scope of activities.
After Van Gaal came to Alkmaar, he injected rationality into a team that was once trained by Adriance to be very enthusiastic in attacking, and the defense level has also improved a lot, which is mainly reflected in the overall movement of the players. .
As soon as Yang Yang entered the threat area on the right, Alkmaar immediately tightened the cage.
Moreover, this cage will still move as a whole with Yang Yang's running.
This made Yang Yang quite depressed, so he could only play on the flanks, or retreat deeper and get the ball in a non-threatening area.
Away from goal, his threat is greatly reduced.
Yang Yang also has to admit that Alkmaar's defense is indeed very good.
This is not a passive defense, but an active pressing defense full of overall movement, much like Ajax.
"This old guy really has two brushes." Yang Yang glanced at Van Gaal in front of the visiting team's coach, and smiled inwardly.
"But if you think that you can trap me like this, then you really underestimate me!"
…………
…………
In the opening ten minutes, Yang Yang was misfiring on the right and failed to create a threat after receiving the ball several times, which made Van Gaal very satisfied.
The assistants in the visiting team's coaching bench were also relieved that the targeted tactics worked.
Van Gaal still felt a little sigh in his heart.
At this time last year, he was still in Ajax, and he was still thinking that if he coached Alkmaar, he would bring Yang Yang to this team, cultivate and carve it himself, and he really wanted to see it. , in the end Yang Yang can grow to what extent.
Unexpectedly, in the second half of the season, Yang Yang became famous, and even scored a lore goal in the Champions League final.
Today's Yang Yang is no longer the fledgling boy last year. He already has a Champions League and won the Eredivisie championship. He is the second European Golden Boy Award winner and a young talent well-known in European football.
Now, he is Ajax's top scorer and has the strength to compete with the well-known Dutch striker Kuyt for the top scorer.
All of this is developing so fast that Van Gaal is overwhelmed.
Even what happened on the field in front of him made Van Gaal a little unbelievable.
Is Yang Yang really imprisoned like this?
Is he such a player who is easily imprisoned?
As soon as this ominous thought came to his mind, Van Gaal saw Yang Yang on the pitch looking towards him, with a half-smiling expression, as if to say, you underestimate me!
This made Van Gaal suddenly have a strong sense of unease.
…………
…………
When Yang Yang saw that the football was re-passed back to the backcourt and given to Maicon on the right, he quickly pulled to the right, ran back against the sideline, and raised his hand to Maicon for the ball.
Tim De Kler chose to keep up immediately, but his reaction was a step slower, and his speed was not as fast as Yang Yang. When he chased behind Yang Yang, Maicon's pass had already come to Yang Yang.
So, Alkmaar's left back chose to block behind Yang Yang.
But Yang Yang had already predicted his choice, and without waiting for De Kler to get close, he took a step forward and stopped with his left foot horizontally.
The ball immediately slid to Yang Yang's right, and he turned around immediately, facing De Kler, and quickly dribbled the ball inward.
Midfielder Barry Van Garn was just behind De Kler, but because they were moving fast just now, the distance between the two was kept a little far. After Yang Yang dribbled the ball sideways, Van Garn returned to the defensive position.
Facing the opponent who came in a hurry, when Yang Yang was just posing to cut into the penalty area by the ribs, Van Gaal was immediately taken in and made a blocking action, but in fact Yang Yang feinted a shot, and a pendulum passed by Van Gaal. Lateral dribbling in.
Yang Yang's original idea was to cut the ball inside to the middle, and then cooperate with his teammates or pass the ball to his teammates depending on the situation.
But when he dribbled the ball all the way to the right side of the top of the penalty area, he saw that Alkmaar's midfielder dragged the player back too far in haste, blocking the central defender to a certain extent, and there appeared between the two. a gap.
At this moment, he seemed to see a passage leading to the goal.
From behind the trailing midfielder, between the two central defenders, the ball can go directly to the left side of the goal.
Seeing this passage, Yang Yang suddenly had an uncontrollable desire at that moment.
From where he is, he is at least twenty meters away from the goal. He has never tried to hit the goal from such a distance, because he has never been strong enough to shoot such a long distance.
This shot requires not only the angle, but also the strength.
But at this moment, Yang Yang had a strong feeling that he could, and he still had his left foot.
I've been training my left foot for nearly two years!
And he has worked hard for nearly half a year of strength training, and he should also show some results!
Almost at that moment, Yang Yang immediately made a decision, raised his left foot, and shot a burst shot directly.
A bang was heard at the scene.
The football shot out from Yang Yang's left foot, passed behind the defender at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, with a graceful arc, almost rubbed the left column, and crashed into the goal behind him!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"World wave! World wave!!!!"
With the exclamation of the commentator, the entire Amsterdam Arena boiled over.
Countless Ajax fans rushed out of the stands and rushed to the fence, shouting loudly for Yang Yang.
After Yang Yang took that shot, he quickly turned around and rushed off the field, directly under the Ajax fans' stand, spreading his arms as if to embrace the cheers pouring out from the stands.
"My God, in the nineteenth minute, the opening nineteen minutes, Yang Yang dribbled the ball inward from the right and suddenly hit a world wave!"
"This is definitely a shocking long shot, 25 meters away from the goal!"
"fantastic!"
"This will definitely be a world wave that everyone will talk about!"
"No one thought that Yang Yang would suddenly take a long shot and hit such a high-quality kick in the world."
"In Alkmaar's tight defensive formation, there were only a few small gaps, but as a result, Yang Yang caught it and scored the first goal with a wonderful world wave!"
