Chapter 346 The First Goal of the Season

The cruelty of professional leagues is that the competition is fierce.

Fierce competition has led the head coaches of all teams to do everything possible to dig out each other's loopholes and weaknesses, and give Thunder blows to defeat each other.

If you want to not be knocked down by the opponent, you have to keep changing.

There has never been a perfect and unbeatable tactics in this world. Only by constantly changing and seeking innovation can we gain a foothold in the professional league, otherwise we will only be dealt a fatal blow by the opponent.

Ronald Koeman, who has been coaching for many years, is naturally aware of this.

He also knows that Ajax is in this situation now.

On the one hand, he hopes to continue the stable style of play from last season, but Yang Yang is not yet in shape, and he can't provoke the team's attacking beam like last season.

Moreover, Eindhoven is also focusing on closely guarding Yang Yang.

On the other hand, Ronald Koeman has to thank Barcelona. If they hadn't poached Van Bommel, it is estimated that it would be difficult for Ajax to retreat in the first half, which also made him have to start to reflect on his tactics. play.

Especially when the fans in the stands started to get restless, he felt that he really had to be bold enough to change.

"Ronald, make up your mind." Luther Carroll advised.

As an assistant coach, Luther Carroll is more inclined to listen to Yang Yang's opinions and boldly press to attack.

But Ronald Koeman is more conservative by nature, and naturally hesitant.

Even when he had a group of young attackers such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wesley Sunk and Van der Vaart, he did not dare to give it a shot, let alone later?

But now, the situation is imminent.

The league has not yet officially started, and they still have the opportunity to try and make mistakes. Once the league starts, they will be even more at a loss.

Ronald Koeman also frowned deeply, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded towards Luther Carroll.

"Then let Yaya Toure come on!"

Luther Carroll nodded, immediately walked to the bench, called Yaya Toure, and motioned him to warm up quickly.

When I walked back, I saw Ronald Koeman also walking back to the coaching bench.

"Luther, what do you think, how about giving the captain's armband to Yang Yang?"

Galasek is the team's first captain. When he is not playing, Heitinga is usually the captain of the field, but this central defender is a bit too frizzy and has always been unstable, but he is in the end. A direct descendant of Ajax's youth training.

Besides, isn't there a Sneijder after Heitinga?

Luther Carroll shook his head and said, "I don't think Yang Yang has any intention of competing for the captain's armband."

He mistakenly thought that Ronald Koeman felt that Yang Yang wanted to fight for power, so he did not do his best.

"No, no, Luther, I know Yang Yang's character, but I also really think that he should be a good captain and can play a good exemplary role." Ronald Koeman explained .

Luther Carroll said nothing more.

Will Yang Yang be a good captain?

This obviously depends on what the definition of captain is.

Yang Yang is definitely not Roy Keane's type of captain. He is very calm and rational on the court. He is never provoked by opponents. It is well-known in the league referee circle.

There are even rumors that the referee circle believes that as long as Yang Yang falls in the penalty area, it must be a penalty.

Yang Yang is the kind of diligent, meticulous, and self-disciplined player. He is never late for training. He is always the first to arrive and the last to leave. He will lead the team to the last minute on the court.

This never-say-die fighting spirit makes him a great fit as a team leader.

And he is still the number one star in the Ajax team, the core of the soul.

Taking all factors into consideration, Yang Yang is indeed a very good choice.

"This is not the time, Ronald," advised Luther Carroll.

Ronald Koeman nodded, "I just asked casually, and I will talk about this matter slowly."

…………

…………

In the 56th minute, Ajax took the lead in making a substitution.

Yaya Toure replaced veteran midfielder Galasek.

This substitution did not arouse a reaction from the fans in the stands, because Yaya Toure's previous games were quite average, and he did not perform too brightly.

However, the players on the Ajax stadium received instructions from the coaching staff on the sidelines, and Yaya Toure also brought Ronald Koeman's latest arrangement, that is, the team should start a full-scale attack.

This is a signal to break the boat and let it go!

Soon, the situation on the pitch changed dramatically.

Ajax's entire midfield and frontcourt began to press heavily, and the back line followed suit.

The tridents headed by Pinar, Charistias and Yang Yang all pressed against Eindhoven's defense, and the midfielders of Yaya Toure, De Jong and Sneijder also pressed on at the same time, forming a formation. Pressing and pressing in the midfield.

This style of play made Eindhoven a little uncomfortable, especially when Ajax got closer to the goal, they began to panic, Hiddink began to signal the team to press out on the sidelines, don't Back off.

But without Van Bommel, Eindhoven's midfield lacked a strong player and could not be pressed at all.

With the team pressing and pressing on the field, PSV began to make frequent mistakes, while Ajax began to get opportunities.

Yang Yang ran away, gradually getting more and more opportunities to catch the ball.

Especially when the game reached the 72nd minute, Ajax pressed and pressed in the frontcourt, allowing PSV Eindhoven to pass a long pass to the midline, Vlar headed the ball down, and Ajax handed it over to the right. Attack Maicon.

Yang Yang took the initiative to retreat from the front to receive Maicon's pass.

Behind him, Lee Young-pyo quickly approached.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yang suddenly stopped and took the whole person from the right side of Li Rongpyo.

The Korean defender responded quickly and chased back in time, but Yang Yang's dribbling inward cut still attracted Lucius' attention.

Subsequently, Yang Yang crossed to Sneijder, who then crossed to the front of the penalty area.

At this moment, the problem of losing Van Bommel finally came to light.

Yaya Toure quickly caught up all the way from behind, and when Sneijder's pass came to him, no matter what, he lifted his slender but powerful right leg and shot straight.

This thunderous sudden blow sent the ball into Eindhoven's goal, and after hitting the lower edge of the goal crossbar, it bounced into the goal, and the muffled sound from the ball hitting the lower edge of the crossbar seemed to make The air over the entire stadium exploded.

One to one!

The two sides are back on the same starting line!

…………

…………

Yaya Toure's goal completely ignited the enthusiasm of the Amsterdam Arena.

This season's new signing actually contributed a goal in the first official game, and it was the goal that equalized PSV Eindhoven, which undoubtedly surprised everyone.

The sudden long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area is not only tricky, but also powerful and very explosive.

Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll on the sidelines were also very surprised. They didn’t expect that the Ivorian midfielder would bring such a surprise. Hiddink was even more surprised. He didn’t expect Ajax to make such a move. .

Isn't this Yaya Toure a defensive player?

As the game went on, Yaya Toure became more and more in shape, and Sneijder and De Jong gradually entered the rhythm.

The running-in in the midfield is getting smoother and smoother, and the pressure in the frontcourt of the team is more effective.

After Yang Yang planned a goal, he gradually found some feelings and began to expand his range of activities, and even often switched positions to the left, because he found that Li Rongpyo was sticking to him like a dog skin plaster, which made him very uncomfortable.

The strength of Korean players is still very good, but they are a little sticky.

Just six minutes from the last goal, Ajax had another chance.

After De Jong intercepted the ball in midfield, he handed it over to Yaya Toure.

The latter dribbled the ball in and sent it to the front of the penalty area, at the feet of Charlesteas.

The Greek center returned to Sneijder, who made a straight pass and sent it to the right side of the small penalty area.

Eindhoven's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez resolutely abandoned the goal to attack, while Li Rongpyo chased Pinar all the way into the penalty area.

The South African international didn't have the advantage in speed and failed to get rid of Li Rongpyo, but he caught up with the ball one step ahead.

Under the front and back of Gomez and Li Rongpyo, Pinar made a cross with his right foot.

The ball is passed laterally along the front of the small penalty area to the left of the goal.

Yang Yang, who didn't know when to switch to the left, threw off the defender from the left rib and quickly slanted to the left corner of the small penalty area. Facing the incoming ball, he pushed with his right foot easily, and the ball rolled directly into the empty goal!

Two to one!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Yang Yang finally scored!"

"This is his first goal of the season!"

In the stands, all the Ajax fans cheered and boiled.

They have been waiting for Yang Yang's goal, from the warm-up match to the Amsterdam Invitational to tonight's Dutch Super Cup.

But Yang Yang's condition has not been particularly ideal for a period of time.

The media and fans can understand, and they all know that he is working hard to adjust, but everyone expects him to score goals as soon as possible, because only goals can continuously stimulate him and let him return to his peak state faster. .

Now, the goal is finally here!

"This goal fully reflects Yang Yang's clever movement, Pinar's assists are in place, Sneijder's through ball is very thoughtful, and before, Yaya Toure dribbled the ball from the backcourt to advance , Charlie Steas playing the ball at the front of the penalty area..."

"It can be said that this goal played the characteristics of Ajax's attacking players in the frontcourt, and the coordination was very smooth."

"Yang Yang's last shot was very calm and skillful. I hope he can get back the feeling of scoring goals."

"Two to one! Ajax reversed PSV!"
