Chapter 423 Match the Legend

On the evening of April 12, Amsterdam Arena.

In the 33rd round of the Eredivisie, Ajax faced Vitesse at home.

Once the game started, Ajax aggressively pressed forward and attacked, trying to eat their opponents from the start.

But Waiters was obviously well prepared for this. Not only did he defend actively, but he also played a sharp counterattack in the seventh minute, piercing the goal of Ajax, which shocked all the Ajax fans in the audience. cold sweat.

Before the game, Waiters coach Edward Sturing publicly stated in the media that Waiters would make every effort to attack Yang Yang.

As it turns out, his team did start out surprisingly well.

The first to concede the ball, but Ajax played in no hurry.

Yang Yang was also in no hurry to score a goal or equalize.

Not only that, he also took the initiative to appease his teammates and signaled everyone to keep calm.

Since then, Ajax has always been in control of the situation on the field, patiently organizing and creating opportunities.

In the Eredivisie, Ajax has absolute confidence.

At the 20th minute, Yang Yang suddenly retreated from the frontcourt. After catching the ball with his back, he knocked it back to Sneijder.

Yang Yang used the acceleration to throw away all the defenders, inserted directly into the penalty area, faced the falling ball, grabbed the ball before the attacking goalkeeper Coutinho, picked the ball over the goalkeeper again, and fell to the goal behind him .

The whole scoring process is very simple and straightforward, but very effective.

One to one!

The whole Amsterdam Arena is boiling again!

...

With a one-to-one score, the two sides ended the first half.

After changing sides in the second half, Ronald Koeman adjusted the team's tactics and launched a wave of attacks from the beginning of the second half. Sneijder scored in the opening four minutes to reverse the score. .

In the 61st minute, Yang Yang assisted Charlie Steas to score and further expanded the score.

After taking a three-to-one lead, everyone at Ajax was still working hard.

Since the beginning of the second half, Yang Yang has taken the initiative to take on more tasks of attracting defensive attention and opening up the formation for his teammates. His intention is also very clear, that is, to help the team score and reverse Waiters.

In the face of the once-in-a-century legendary record, Yang Yang can still maintain such a mentality and rationality, which makes everyone in the Ajax team admire him, and they all benefit from Yang Yang.

In addition, on weekdays, Yang Yang would give gifts on New Years and holidays, and he would invite the whole team to dinner at every turn. He was also the team captain. Everyone obeyed him, and his popularity was also very good. Therefore, he led the team three-to-one. After the victory, everyone began to reciprocate, consciously trying to help Yang Yang score.

With one more goal, he will tie Groot's record of 42 goals for the most goals in a single season in Ajax history.

Not only the players have this kind of mind, but the manager Ronald Koeman also thinks the same way.

It would be an honor for him to be able to produce the Golden Boot with the most goals in the history of the Eredivisie under his coaching staff, not to mention, he knew very well that Yang Yang really wanted it.

No one said it, but I had to admit in my heart that the chances of the team defeating Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final were very slim.

Not only because of strength, but also because of the schedule.

This kind of continuous one-week double game is really a huge consumption for Ajax.

Just look at the difference between AC Milan's performance in the two rounds before and after.

Barcelona have to take advantage of the schedule. Between their quarter-finals and the semi-finals, they have played once a week for two consecutive weeks.

But there is no way, the schedule is the schedule.

Therefore, breaking the historical records of Groot and Dylan and defeating PSV Eindhoven to win the Dutch Cup has become Yang Yang's last pursuit this season, and it may also be his last gift to Ajax.

Ronald Koeman quickly replaced Charlie Steas with Bendtner, because the Danish center has better physical fitness and stronger impact, and the cooperation with Yang Yang is also more tacit.

And this time, the substitution really quickly yielded miraculous results.

Nicklas Bendtner, after ten minutes of playing, suddenly pulled to the right to receive the ball again, turned from the front of the penalty area, rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and crossed to the goal.

Changing positions with the Danes and interspersed in the middle of the road, Yang Yang understood, rushed in front of the goal, easily pushed the bottom left corner from the middle, and scored his 42nd goal of the season!

After Yang Yang scored, he was so excited that he rushed towards Niklas Bendtner and jumped directly to the Dane.

tied!

He finally equals Henk Groot's record!

Scored 42 goals in a single season!

He is tied with Henk Groot as the player with the most goals in a single season in Ajax history!

Yang Yang is really excited!

After he got off Bendtner, he hugged his teammates one by one, and then went to the sidelines to hug Ronald Koeman, Luther Carroll, Kluitenberg and Winston Boga Germany and others, and all the teammates on the bench.

Finally, he bowed to all the fans in the stands around the Amsterdam Arena, thanking them for their support!

This made him usher in applause and cheers from the sky!

Everyone knows that this may be his last league game at the Amsterdam Arena.

In the past three years, they have witnessed with their own eyes that Yang Yang has grown from a rookie to a first-tier European star step by step.

Now, he's leaving!

Live TV footage even captured a lot of Ajax fans crying.

But surprisingly, no one kept him, not even the crying fans.

Because they all know that Yang Yang's departure is to find a broader stage and challenge higher limits.

Maybe many, many years later, when he is old, he will come back here again like other legends.

Match the legend!

After the game, almost all newspapers in the Netherlands have focused on Yang Yang's brace.

Those two goals saw him equal Henk Groot as one of Ajax's all-time top scorers.

But there is one round left in the league, and it's not over yet.

The Dutch Telegraph complimented Yang Yang on the front page, believing that he had created miracles for two consecutive seasons.

"Last season, he broke Ronaldo's legendary record that had been held for ten years, which is surprising enough."

"Unexpectedly, this season he has even matched Henk Groot's all-time best record, and is even one step away from breaking Cohen Dylan's best Eredivisie record."

"We can't really use any adjectives to praise him, but he really gave all of us, the whole Dutch football world so much shock and excitement, he even has a magic that makes people want to worship him. "

"The Waiters coach Sturing, who threatened to snipe Yang Yang before the game, had to admit after the game that they couldn't stop Yang Yang at all. They tried their best, but Yang Yang was unstoppable."

The People's Daily of the Netherlands also published the news that Yang Yang tied the legendary record with the front page headline, and also published the evaluation and praise of Yang Yang from all walks of life in the Netherlands.

Dutch national team coach Van Basten said he was not surprised by Yang Yang's achievements.

"Ajax this season is very similar to the Ajax we had back then."

"The Ajax team at the time had a group of outstanding teammates such as Van Skip, Winter, Rijkaard and Ronald Koeman, who later became famous stars in Europe, and we The head coach is Johan Cruyff, who has led us to great offensive football."

"And this season's Ajax team is also very strong. Players such as Pinar, Sneijder, De Jong, Vermaelen, Maxwell and Maicon are all very strong. There are young rookies like Nicklas Bendtner and Ryan Babel among the young players."

"Ronald Koeman is also a very good head coach, just like Cruyff trusted me back then, he trusted Yang Yang unshakably, so I have no doubts about the achievements Yang Yang has achieved today. "

"Even, I'm really looking forward to seeing him score again in the final round of the season, or even score twice!"

In addition to Van Basten, the Chinese national team coach, Ajax legend Alihan also accepted an interview with People's Daily.

Alihan said that Yang Yang is the most professional player he has ever seen and is very hardworking.

"He's always telling me with his actions that he's a player that any manager can totally rely on, not just for his goals, but for everything else. He's a natural leader."

Alihan also said that in the past many years, there have been too many misunderstandings about Chinese football in European football.

"Yang Yang's appearance is a kind of luck to Chinese football, because his performance in European football will make everyone more clearly understand the strength and potential of Chinese players, and will also make European clubs realize that this has the whole world. The most populous country in the world will be the treasure trove of football in the future."

"Yang Yang used practical actions to tell everyone that China does not lack football talents. What China lacks is the soil for cultivating talents, and these are precisely what European clubs are best at."

Alihan also said that with Yang Yang's popularity in the Eredivisie and European football, more and more Eredivisie clubs have realized the potential of Chinese football, especially several Chinese players have gradually appeared in the Eredivisie this season. Being in the early stage and winning the World Youth Championship before, these are all very good phenomena.

"More and more European clubs have embarked on the gold rush of Chinese football, and the connection between Chinese football and European clubs will become more frequent. I believe that in the next few years, more Chinese players will go abroad one after another. , landing in the Europa League, which is definitely a good thing for Chinese football."

And Alihan believes that all this is because of Yang Yang's success in European football.

"He was like a banner, he made all European footballers realize that in the most populous country in the world, there are countless Yang Yangs buried, and these are their opportunities!"
