Chapter 74 Yang Yang's Opportunity
Den Bosch, De Wiliert Stadium.
Yang Yang's hands were hanging on his sides, and the beads of sweat the size of beans gathered into streams, sliding down his arms, and finally dripping from his fingertips.
The heavy breathing made everyone see his consumption at this moment.
Seventy minutes have passed since the game, but the score between the two sides is still 0-0.
Den Bosch can be tied with Helmond and become the leader of the Dutch League. Naturally, his strength should not be underestimated, and even compared to some Dutch teams, he is not inferior at all.
More importantly, they didn't give their best in this game.
It's like Yang Yang's opposing left-back. The main player is the young and strong 25-year-old player Bas Peggis, but in this game, Den Bosch's coach Gert Cruyce arranged Veteran Patrick Perron, who is thirty-five years old, and seventeen-year-old Piet Kuygipels sat on the bench.
The characteristics of these three left-backs are obviously different. Peggis is in his prime. He is tall and strong, capable of playing the positions of left-back and left-back. He is a good player when he crosses from a 45-degree angle. An important means of Bosch offense.
Perun is a veteran and has a lot of experience, but he is not young and lacks physical fitness.
It is not difficult to see that Kruiz did not take the Dutch Cup too much to heart, but paid more attention to the Dutch League.
But even so, it still caused considerable trouble for Ajax.
This is the first time Yang Yang has felt passive on the scene since joining Ajax.
Fermaelen has performed very well in the back line. Although he is not tall, he is extremely accurate in his judgment on the placement of the ball. He has resolved the opponent's cross several times, and his defense has become more and more skillful, especially It was high center Barry Powell who was facing the other side.
The opponent is a lot taller than Vermaelen, but it is difficult to take advantage of the Belgian central defender. Whether it is heading for the top or defending around the front, the Belgian central defender has performed very well.
During the intermission, he joked to Yang Yang with bitterness that it was all caused by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
But throughout the game, the Ajax second team was under unprecedented pressure.
Yang Yang felt as if he had returned to the way he used to play in Almere, especially in the amateur game. This familiar and unfamiliar feeling was very strange.
His performance in this game was not ideal either, mainly because the Dutch veteran with a beard on the opposite side, Patrick Perlen, has a lot of experience. Even if he occasionally walked past, he could always entangle Yang Yang, and in front of him, Yang Yang actually gave birth to a kind of helpless depression.
Yang Yang's side is not easy, Babel on the left and Benson in the middle are equally uncomfortable. Even Crohn and Maduro in the midfield are suppressed by their opponents, and it is difficult to pass the ball to the frontcourt.
The only thing worth mentioning is that Vermaelen performed well and led the team's defense to be solid.
Yang Yang angrily glanced at the beard in front of him, and cursed inwardly. He is thirty-five years old, and this old man is quite tenacious.
Well, let's see how long you can last.
Seeing that midfield teammate Crohn couldn't find the ball, Yang Yang quickly ran back and raised his hand to catch the ball.
Perun hesitated for a moment, and immediately followed.

Gert Cruyce stood on the sidelines looked very calm.
At the age of 42, his career was not brilliant. After retiring, he transformed into a head coach, but his start was very high. In the summer of 1998, Leeuwarden succeeded in rushing to the Dutch League Two and then changed coaches. He became Leeuwarden's coach. The new coach, and led the team to successfully avoid relegation in the Eredivisie.
After playing in the Eredivisie for two seasons, Leeuwarden was unable to stay in the end, but Cruyce was still reused by the management and took on the task of leading the team back to the Eredivisie until he suffered setbacks for two consecutive years. Later, after his grades dropped again and again, he was fired.
But this resume soon got him an offer from Den Bosch, who had just been relegated from the Eredivisie.
Last season, the team experienced the pain of relegation and failed to return to the Eredivisie, but so far this season, the team has performed quite well, and the hope of entering the league has greatly increased. Currently, it has the same points as Helmond. tied for the top spot in the league.
But Den Bosch played one more game than his opponent.
The Dutch Cup happened to be in the middle of the two league games, which made Cruyce, who had the responsibility of rushing to the top, not dare to take the slightest risk, so he did not use his main force to play in this game, but it did not mean that he did not pay attention.
In fact, when facing Eredivisie Zwolle in the second round, Cruiz chose to fight the opponent at home, and eliminated Zwolle 2-1, successfully advancing to the third round.
But in the game so far, he has to admit his misjudgment.
He and the coaching staff were very optimistic when they were drawn to the second Ajax team. This was the only reserve team that entered the third knockout round of the Dutch Cup. Isn't this a chance for Den Bosch to advance from God?
But when it came to the game, he was surprised to find that the giants were giants after all, and the strong talent pool allowed Ajax to compete with Den Bosch even if it was just a reserve team. The two teams fought hard for 70 minutes. Den Bosch, who was playing at home, was not able to kill his opponent, which was far beyond Cruyce's expectations.
On the back line, Fairmaelen was the most eye-catching player in the game. His presence completely froze high center Barry Powell, which made Den Bosch's offense lose half of its threat, plus the other two offensive firepower Vander. Neither Rajak nor Stefan Janssen made the roster, and Den Bosch's offense struggled to create a threat.
The three players in the frontcourt of Ajax are also quite distinctive. Needless to say, Babel on the left is a genius recognized by all the Netherlands and a future star of hope. Played threateningly.
The only one on the right is the black-haired Chinese who performed well in the previous two games, but this one was misfired.
It seems that choosing to guard him with the more experienced Peron is a very correct choice.
Whether it is Peggis, who is tall but inflexible and slow to move, or Kuiji Peles, who is young and inexperienced and more rash, it is difficult to be as secure as Peron.
Zero to zero should be considered a favorable score for Den Bosch.
Van Basten leads the reserve team in the end. He is too young, and the more he gets to the end, the more he can't hold his breath, especially as his physical fitness declines. The players on the board obviously made more mistakes and their morale was greatly affected.
According to the Dutch Cup system, extra time will be played for a zero-to-zero score, and a penalty kick will be entered if the game is tied.
At that time, the best chance of winning is still Den Bosch.
In this regard, Cruyce is full of confidence.

"Yang Yang is back," said assistant coach John Van Skip.
Yang Yang, who retreated to meet the midfielder, received a pass from Crohn's, and without waiting for Perron to follow up, he quickly returned a pass from the right, and passed a long pass to the right back Dwight on the back line. Tiendaly.
The Dutch player of Surinamese descent has just turned 18 years old. He is the main right back of the second team this season. He has good physique and speed, and his defense is relatively stable. It is difficult for teammates to cooperate, not only with Yang Yang in front of him, but also with other teammates.
Previously, the technical team judged him for lack of determination, because the coaching staff suggested that he strengthen the training of crosses, but as a result, for a long time, he did not seem to be willing to work hard to strengthen the training, and the crosses were still terrible.
This is also the reason why Koeman is reluctant to transfer him into the first team as a substitute for Trabelsi.
"There is no chance to stay in the frontcourt," said Rob Wietzger.
Den Bosch's advantage in this game is obvious, and the defense is also firmly grasped, which puts a lot of pressure on the second team of Ajax. It is difficult for the players in the frontcourt to hold the ball, and even if they do, it is difficult to form a cooperation. .
Yang Yang, the team's most breakthrough ability on the right, has also died in this game.
It has to be said that the opponent used the more experienced veteran Peelun to guard him, which is indeed very targeted.
Although it is difficult to form an offensive threat in the frontcourt, Yang Yang actively retreated to respond to the midfield's balls and transitions, and also participated in the defense many times. It should be said that his performance is also worthy of recognition.
It's just that once he comes back, whether it's Babel or Benson, the situation will be even more worrying.
"Peren is still following him," Van Basten said suddenly.
Both Van Skip and Witschger were a little surprised and didn't understand what this meant.
"Whether it's us watching the game from the sidelines or the fans in the stands, our perception of the game is far less than that of the players on the court. How Yang Yang's performance is, you can see how Peelun's reaction is."
Both were professional players, and Van Schip and Wizger quickly reacted.
As an experienced veteran, Perun followed Yang Yang throughout the game. This must not only come from the coach's pre-match advice, but also his own game perception. The only reasonable explanation is that he knew that he could not give Yang Yang has loose ball space.
"Peren is thirty-five years old, and we and Den Bosch each have one substitution. Do you think Cruyce will replace him?" Van Skip suddenly brightened and asked.
On Den Bosch's bench sat a substitute right-back, that is, the 17-year-old teenager Kuiji Pers. This player has not played in the first team so far. Can he get a chance today?
Replacing the experienced veteran Peren with Kuyji Peres, Yang Yang will get more room for movement on the right.
But what if Perron is not replaced?
Yang Yang withdrew, obviously consciously expanding his range of activities, he was going to fight with Peelun to consume.
This is obviously impossible.
Ajax's second team has a lot of pressure in the midfield and backcourt. It is difficult to support Yang Yang. Everything can only depend on him.
As long as he can play open space on Peron's side, Ajax has a chance to win.
Thinking of this, Van Basten clapped his hands hard, nodded and said, "The last place is reserved."
Ajax doesn't make substitutions, and Kruiz estimates that he won't make substitutions easily. What if the game really drags on to overtime?
This is the opportunity he won for Yang Yang as the head coach.
