Chapter 399 Reaching the Top Eight

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Amsterdam Arena was filled with deafening cheers.

More than 50,000 Ajax fans rushed out of their seats, singing, shouting and celebrating frantically.

The red scoreboard shows the final score of the game.

Ajax finally beat Real Madrid 1-0 thanks to Pinar's goal in the first half.

But no one can deny that the best and most threatening player in this game is Yang Yang on the 11th.

After the game, Yang Yang was also selected as the best player of the game.

He was the most threatening Ajax player in this game, and the player who brought the biggest test to Real Madrid's backline. In addition to sending a delicate assist to Pinar, he also played for Yaya · Toure, Sneijder and Ryan Babel sent wonderful assists respectively.

It is a pity that several teammates did not grasp it in the end.

But even so, it still did not change the fact that Yang Yang performed well.

He also became the player who was chanted the most by Ajax fans in the stands after the game.

The eyes of the crowd are sharp, and they can see clearly who has contributed the most to Ajax.

In the current Ajax team, only two players are indispensable.

One is the captain Yang Yang, who is attacking the city in the frontcourt and leading his teammates in the locker room at the same time. The other is diligent in the midfield, often throwing a wonderful ball, and has the ability to score after one kick. Sneijder.

Yaya Toure's performance this season is really amazing, with eye-catching contributions on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but he is still not as important as Yang Yang and Sneijder.

As for the team's backline...

This has become Ajax's biggest weakness. From goalkeeper Stekelenburg to the back line, Ajax's defense is not reassuring.

In fact, Ajax's defense has never been better, even in the Champions League season.

But in any case, this season, they were able to eliminate Real Madrid 4-1 on aggregate and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League again, which is enough to make everyone in Ajax feel satisfied and excited.

No one expects the team to repeat the miracle of winning the championship in 2004. After all, that season was full of chance, and many strong teams had problems. Therefore, everyone was very satisfied to be able to enter the quarterfinals.

Small wealth is safe, and this is the benefit of small teams.

…………

After the whistle sounded, Yang Yang walked towards the nearest Escud.

The central defender is in an embarrassing situation at the Bernabeu, and there have been reports that he may be purged.

There is definitely no problem with ability, but playing a central defender in a team like Real Madrid has always been a matter of blame.

Yang Yang took the initiative to walk over, hugged Escud, and comforted the French teammate who had fought side by side.

"Congratulations! You did a great job!" Escud also hugged Yang Yang hard.

This little brother in the dressing room in the past has become a well-known first-line star in European football in just two years, making countless giant teams flock to him, and the future is definitely promising.

In particular, the hat-trick in the first round made Escud both in awe and awe.

"Thank you, you must continue to work hard!" Yang Yang shook hands with the French central defender.

Escud nodded heavily.

Seeing other teammates approaching, Yang Yang turned and walked towards Van der Vaart.

The darling of Atlético Amsterdam came on as a substitute in the second half, but his performance was quite mediocre. It was difficult for him to get permission at Ajax at Real Madrid.

In the Netherlands, he is a genius and a golden boy, but in Real Madrid, the most important thing is genius.

In Ajax, everyone will revolve around him, accommodate him, help him to improve his strengths and avoid weaknesses, but in Real Madrid, he is just an ordinary one, and he has no privilege to challenge the superstars at all.

Sometimes, professional football is just like that.

Two players with very similar strengths, because of their different positions in the team, enjoy different tactical resources and degrees of freedom, often have vastly different performances. At first glance, they seem to be two players who are completely different from each other.

Van der Vaart at Real Madrid is definitely not the most authentic Van der Vaart.

His strengths were concealed, but his weaknesses were exposed.

"It's okay, brother, we all believe in you and support you!" Yang Yang embraced Van der Vaart and encouraged.

He understands how difficult the situation for the Dutch Golden Boy is now, because he has been included in the list of the most should be cleaned by the Spanish media.

Van der Vaart was more open-minded, shaking his head helplessly at Yang Yang, obviously also very helpless about his own situation.

He is going to the Bernabeu with longing, and he hopes to prove his strength here and become one of the first-class stars in Europe.

But the cruel reality gave him a hard blow, and he had no chance at all at the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul, Beckham, Guti...

A large number of stars firmly hold the starting position of the team, let alone him. Even well-known European talents like Robinho and Cassano will not get many opportunities in the Bernabeu.

Everyone knows that the superstar strategy is not eliminated, and these people only have to escape from the Bernabeu.

Van der Vaart looked around and made sure that no one was approaching. He hugged Yang Yang again and reminded him gently in his ear: "Anyway, I still want to advise you, the Bernabeu is quite messy."

Yang Yang nodded heavily, "I understand, thank you!"

After letting go, Yang Yang punched him in the face and hit him on the chest, "We Chinese have a saying, if a tree moves to death, a person moves to live. Although this decision is difficult, long pain is worse than short pain. ."

Van der Vaart understands what Yang Yang means. In the short term, he really doesn't see any chance for him to play.

For two years, he has always been a dispensable substitute.

He's had enough of these days!

After Yang Yang bid farewell to Van der Vaart, he met with Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane, Beckham, Guti and others successively. Looking forward to working with Yang Yang at the Bernabeu.

But Real Madrid lost the game, and the team was in turmoil again. Whether it was the superstars or the players, they just politely greeted each other, and then walked back to the locker room one after another.

Such a result is not surprising. After losing 1-3 at home, everyone had already guessed that Real Madrid would not be able to advance to the next stage. Before that, there was the resignation of President Florentino, which caused the team to fail. People up and down are apprehensive.

Completely different from the impression of many fans, the game on the court does not only depend on the strength and state of the players.

There is a saying that is quite right, a 90-minute game is just a condensation of a team from management to training in the past period of time.

On the surface, eleven people are kicking, but in fact two clubs are fighting.

Real Madrid has been really bad lately.

…………

…………

Ajax beat Real Madrid 1-0 at home and eliminated the Galaxy Battleship 4-1 on aggregate.

This news once again detonated the world's media.

Stopped in the round of 16 for two consecutive seasons, coupled with the turmoil caused by the resignation of President Florentino, Real Madrid was on the top of the limelight for a while, and countless Real Madrid fans were extremely dissatisfied with the team's status quo. .

But Yang Yang, with his outstanding performance in the two rounds, has become the object of admiration by the media and fans all over the world.

The other seven matches of the Champions League round of 16 have also been decided one after another.

AC Milan defeated Bayern Munich 4-1 at home after a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich on the road, and then eliminated Bayern Munich with a total score of 5-2.

Eindhoven, the Eredivisie team that also entered the Champions League round of 16, is in the exact opposite situation as Ajax.

After losing several core generals, Eindhoven faced Ligue 1 Lyon, losing 0-1 at home, 0-4 away, and finally 0-5. Hiddink's team was in front of Ligue 1 Lyon. Not competitive.

This also made the Netherlands feel a bit more embarrassed, and more valued Ajax.

Especially Yang Yang.

Everyone knows that Ajax's situation this season is not very ideal, especially with many defensive problems, but with Yang Yang's outstanding performance, he just led the team to overcome difficulties and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Currently in the Eredivisie League, Ajax is also leading the way in the standings.

Some people have calculated that without Yang Yang's goal, Ajax can only be ranked fourth in the Eredivisie at most.

Villarreal drew 3-3 with Rangers on aggregate, but the Yellow Submarines took advantage of away goals and narrowly eliminated the Soviet Super League team. Pellegrini followed his performance in the UEFA Cup last season. , this season in the Champions League has made a great impression, leaving a very deep impression.

Juventus drew 4-4 with Werder Bremen on aggregate and eliminated the Bundesliga team with an away goal advantage.

Chelsea, after losing 1-2 at home to Barcelona, ​​drew 1-1 with the La Liga giants away, and Mourinho's team could only stop at the round of 16.

Arsenal beat Inter Milan 1-0 at home and 2-1 away from home, with a two-legged double over Inter Milan to advance to the quarter-finals.

As for the defending champion Red Army Liverpool, they lost 0-1 away and 0-2 at home to Benfica of the Portuguese Super League.

If it is surprising to miss the quarterfinals, then zero goals in two rounds is very surprising.

Benitez openly admitted in the post-match press conference that the team needs to find better players on the front line.

"We need the kind of striker who can score 20+ goals in a season!"

According to the British media, Benitez has issued an ultimatum to the Liverpool board of directors and must make a difference in the striker, and his number one target for signings is Yang Yang of Ajax.

In addition to Yang Yang, Valencia's David Villa and Atletico Madrid's Torres are also his targets.

Yang Yang has scored eight goals in the current UEFA Champions League, tied for first place with AC Milan's popular star Shevchenko.

This also further makes people recognize Yang Yang's strength. After all, it is not simple to be able to keep pace with popular stars such as Shevchenko, Ronaldinho and Eto'o in the Champions League scorer list.
