Chapter 367 Hype Yang Yang's New Material

"We made several serious mistakes!"

At the post-match press conference, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger looked very lonely when he summed up the just-concluded game in an interview with the media.

Because his team just lost.

Two to one, international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is behind.

Arsenal broke into the middle of the penalty area from Ljungberg in the last few minutes and scored a cool shot.

But this has not changed the final trend of the game.

With a pass and a shot from Yang Yang, Ajax defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home.

Due to another game in the same group, Thun, Switzerland, beat Sparta Prague 1-0 at home. In the end, Ajax scored four points with two games, one win and one draw, ranking first in the group standings.

Wenger believes that the biggest problem with the team is that there are too many mistakes, which is the most serious problem for Arsenal so far this season, and it is very unwarranted.

"You can't make mistakes at such a high level, but unfortunately we had more than one serious defensive error, which hit us hard and ended up losing the game."

Wenger believes that Ajax's defense in this game is very good. It is difficult for Arsenal to find a breakthrough. There are a lot of shots, but in fact, it is more from long-range shots. The real threat is kicked in the penalty area. Not many opportunities.

"From the perspective of the whole game, our possession time was much higher than the opponent's, we were obviously better, and we took the initiative in the game, but we were not effective enough in the conversion rate of possession, we gave the opponent's attack. The pressure is not strong enough."

"To put it simply, we need to make us more aggressive and more concise and efficient."

But Wenger also admitted that this is a problem that the team has had this season, but he doesn't think it has anything to do with Vieira's departure, because he always believes that the team has players like Cesc Fabregas and Flamy. Such an outstanding young player.

"Sometimes there is no way to make a similar comparison in football, Vieira is one type of player, but Cesc Fabregas is another type of player, I always believe that Fabregas will fill the The vacancy of Ella leaving the team is a very wise choice."

"He is very young, only seventeen years old, which brings endless potential to our team, and what we need to do next is to fully tap this potential."

As for the question from the media reporter, why did not go to Ljungberg earlier, Wenger said because the Swedes played hard, and Hleb performed well, especially at the beginning of the first half, Hleb's right Road kicked very threateningly.

Wenger spoke highly of Yang Yang's performance.

"In fact, I have been following him closely since two years ago, he has improved very fast, one step a year, and now, he is trying to prove to everyone that he is strong, and I believe he will become One of the best players in European football."

Wenger also took the initiative to mention that after the Champions League round of 16 knockout two years ago, he once thought about buying Yang Yang.

"At the time, I and the coaching staff and scouting team thought he was an incredible player, but at the same time, we also thought he was not good enough, he had a sharp edge, but he still did a lot of things. Not good enough, like his stopping, his passing, etc..."

"We finally came to the conclusion that he should continue to grow and improve in Ajax, but we have been watching him closely, but no one thought that Ajax finally won the Champions League and Yang Yang He also became famous in battle, and last season ushered in explosive growth..."

When Wenger said this, his expression was somewhat remorseful, "But I am very happy to see that Yang Yang has gone out of his own way, he is ushering in a period of rapid development of his career, I believe he is, or even has. One of the best players in European football."

This is the second time Wenger used the adjective "best" to describe Yang Yang, which surprised all the media reporters present.

Everyone can clearly feel Wenger's recognition of Yang Yang in his heart.

In the European Super Cup, he scored twice and defeated Liverpool. In the group stage, he defeated Arsenal with one pass and one shot. Yang Yang has proved his strength twice this season with iron facts.

Although it is in the Champions League, all the fans are still paying more attention to the strong dialogue.

Few people will remember that Yang Yang had an assist when he played Sparta Prague, and no one will remember that Yang Yang has scored nine goals in the Eredivisie League and has five assists, whether it is the scoring list. Or assists, he is ranked first in the Eredivisie.

But all fans around the world will remember his brace against Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup and a pass and a shot against Arsenal in the group stage, both of which he was named player of the match.

This is the impact of the Champions League!

...

For the game, Ronald Koeman strongly praised Yang Yang and the players, and especially mentioned Yang Yang's role as the team captain. It is very admirable to be able to stand up at critical moments.

"Maybe a lot of people don't notice that he is the youngest ever captain in the Champions League."

When the head coach of Ajax touted Yang Yang, he did not forget to provide the media reporters with a brand-new hype material.

What's interesting is that before Yang Yang, the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League was also from Ajax, and that was Van der Vaart. When he took over as captain in 2003, he was exactly 20 years and 217 days old.

Now, Yang Yang pushes Van der Vaart's record forward again in one breath. His new record is 18 years and 324 days, which happens to be the day Ajax played Sparta Prague away. .

This is the case with small teams. Except for the Dutch domestic media and UEFA, few people have noticed Yang Yang's new record, but at this moment, as soon as Ronald Koeman said it, the whole press conference There was an uproar in the hall.

This is definitely another big hype hot spot.

The Ajax coach also said that if it wasn't for the referee's misjudgment, Ajax should have scored in the first half.

"It was a very obvious and unquestionable handball. It should have been a penalty kick. Our players also appealed, but the referee still upheld the original decision, and I believe everyone should see that it was a wrong decision. ."

As for the penalty mentioned by Ronald Koeman, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said that he did not see it.

"I didn't notice at the time if it was a handball, but I think the referee made the most sensible decision in his opinion at the time, my players didn't consciously want to open their arms, it should not be sentenced to capital punishment ."

This should be the only disagreement between Wenger and Ronald Koeman at the press conference.

…………

Arsenal's 2-1 away loss to Ajax was not a disaster.

In fact, as early as before the game, many media in Europe have believed that Ajax is not without opportunities, because Arsenal have indeed had many problems this season, especially since the start of the game, they have lost all three away games.

What's more, Ajax is not an underdog.

In the past three seasons, Ajax was the Champions League quarter-finals and Champions League champions in the first two seasons. Last season, although the Champions League stopped in the group stage, it won the UEFA Cup.

It can be said that Ajax's achievements in the past three years are incomparably brilliant and quite brilliant.

For this game, major media reports around the world have paid attention to two points.

One of them is that Vieira's departure has led to a decline in the strength of Arsenal's midfield, which has caused huge fluctuations in the Gunners' results this season. Everyone believes that although Wenger does not admit it, Vieira is indeed Arsenal's best player. Painful loss.

But in contrast, all the media and fans are more concerned about another point.

That's Ajax's Yang Yang.

With one pass and one shot, he was elected the best player of the game, and he was able to lead Ajax to defeat Arsenal as the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League. Yang Yang's performance was recognized by all the media and fans.

There are even many people who have expressed their expectation to see Ajax go further.

The British Sun even published the news that Wenger regretted not buying Yang Yang two years ago on the front page, and then published another ridiculing report, saying that Wenger would not go alone.

"I believe that after watching Yang Yang's outstanding performance this season, it is not only Wenger who regrets his past, but Liverpool's Benitez, Chelsea's Mourinho and Manchester United's Ferguson are all equally regretful."

"These four strong teams were all interested in Yang Yang at one time, but they didn't make up their minds. Now, after seeing Yang Yang's outstanding performance this season, they have to look at their pockets with pain and regret."

And the same sigh came from the Spanish media.

The better Yang Yang's performance is, the more uncomfortable the Spanish media will be, because this summer, everyone is looking forward to Yang Yang's move to Barcelona or Real Madrid. There was even news that Barcelona would sell Messi and introduce Yang Yang.

Even the newspapers in Catalonia have revealed that Messi is only one step away from joining Inter Milan, and as long as Messi is sold, Yang Yang will have no obstacle to enter the Nou Camp, even Ronaldinho. Yang Yang is welcome to join us.

But in the end, when Barcelona was on the verge of a goal, they kept Messi, and Cruyff publicly bombarded Barcelona, ​​thinking that the team would spend 40 million euros to introduce an 18-year-old teenager. Gamble.

"I believe that now, Laporta has regrets in his heart, because now 40 million euros can't buy Yang Yang."

Marca and Aspen also believe that Real Madrid missed the most important signing this summer, and Florentino missed the last chance to please club members and Real Madrid fans.

This is also a regrettable regret for Florentino, whose chairmanship has been precarious.
