Chapter 103： Stare at him

On February 4, the Amsterdam Arena.

In the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup, Ajax played against Feyenoord.

Seventy-five minutes have passed in the second half, and the score is still one to one.

Ibrahimovic, who recovered from injury, scored a goal for the home team in the 20th minute, but nine minutes later, Kuyt equalized for Feyenoord, and he was assisted by left-wing fan Pepe. oo.

Subsequently, the two teams once again fell into the offensive and defensive stalemate.

Many players in Ajax were drafted by the national team. The absence of the main right-back Trabelsi caused a lot of trouble for the team's right defense, especially Feyenoord left-winger Van Persie and left-back Patrick The left attack combination composed by Mtiliga has put Ajax's defense into a dangerous situation frequently.

Before the end of the first half, Escud's injury made Ajax even worse. Fortunately, Fermalen, who came off the bench, showed his bravery, and he and Heitinga firmly guarded Ajax Line of defense.

But on the offensive end, Ajax still can't open the situation. Ibrahimović was closely watched by two Feyenoord central defenders Van den Berg and Van Vendell in the frontcourt. Ajax's ball is very good Difficult to reach the Swedish center.

Subsequently, Ronald Coman replaced Mia with Wesley Songk, hoping to add an offensive point in the frontcourt, but Feyenoord coach Van Malvik made two consecutive substitutions. Ajax's offense was frozen again.

"The remaining time of the game is running out. At present, both sides have not been able to come up with effective offensive methods. Ronald Coman and Van Malvik each have a substitution opportunity in their hands. I believe this will be Their last chance to change the direction of the game. "

"But neither seems to be particularly anxious to make substitutions."

"If the ninety minute regular game is over, the game will enter overtime according to the rules of a single knockout. If it is tied, it will eventually enter a penalty shootout."

"Although the penalty shootout is full of unpredictability, for Ajax with a lower average age, the unfavorable factors will undoubtedly be heavier, and here is their home, Feyenoord will be more mature and stable. . "

"We can see that Ajax's 99th substitute Yang Yang has warmed up on the sidelines. Many fans in the stands are shouting his name. He has come off the bench in the past five games, and every time he changed the game Trend. "

"But this time, I wonder if Ronald Coleman will replace him?"

…………

…………

"It's almost eighty minutes."

Luther Carroll walked to Ronald Coman and reminded quietly.

Ronald Coman glanced up at the time, and had jumped silently into the seventy-nine minutes.

How time flies!

"Van Malvik is waiting for me to replace him." Ronald Coman said with a frown.

In terms of strength, Ajax is not inferior to Feyenoord overall, and even has a slight advantage, but the team ushered in a double-line battle just after the winter break, coupled with the impact of injuries and the African Cup, makes The team lineup is difficult to neat.

Escud ’s injury in the first half also used up a valuable substitution for the team, which led to Ronald Coman now becoming very passive and want to make a substitution, but worried about the substitution, in case What if a player is injured or unable to sustain?

In addition, Van Malvik still has a substitution in his hand. He is also motionless, obviously waiting for Coman's action.

"You mean, he still hides a card that restrains us?" Luther Carol couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at the guy in front of the coach of the visiting team, although he was only in his early fifties, but it was already It is gray-haired.

"It should be Yang Yang's card." Coman speculated.

Luther Carol's face also became dignified.

Really, as Ronald Coman said, the game is now tricky.

"It should be Ramon Van Hallen." Luther Carroll noticed the veteran sitting on the top of Feyenoord's bench.

Thirty-one-year-old veteran Van Halen made his debut in Valvik, and then to Roda Jc, joined Feyenoord through excellent performance in 2001, but he has never been reused and always plays a backup role.

But as a player who can be valued and introduced by Feyenoord, Van Halen's ability is undoubted, but he is not fast, he is better at defense, and he is not liked by head coach Van Malvik, so he has to play Bench.

Judging from his performances in multiple appearances, this is a full-back with a strong mark.

Thirty-one years old, physical performance is still good, but the game experience is extremely rich, coupled with a player with excellent defensive ability, if Van Malvik uses Van Hallen to target Yang Yang, it is definitely possible.

But now, without Yang Yang, who can change?

…………

…………

"Yang Yang is just a fledgling kid, and only the media that catches the wind and catches the shadow will praise him so well."

In front of the visiting team coach, Van Malvik stood upright and said with a smile.

Feyenoord's scouts have focused on Yang Yang, analyzed all the game videos he played off the bench, and finally came to the conclusion that the player's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

Fast speed, strong one-on-one breakthrough ability, high pass quality, this is his advantage, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, space is needed, fear of personal marking, once the opponent is close, the handling of ball errors starts to increase .

The most typical is the game against Nijmegen three days ago. As soon as he played, he planned a sharp counterattack. He made a cross from the right to Van der Vaart, who assisted Wesley Songk to score.

At first glance, it is indeed very dazzling, but it is not difficult to find out, but it is not difficult to find that the main problem is that Nijmegen did not pay enough attention to Yang Yang, especially the left back Leva Kabesi, who has a lot of physical energy and wants to use The way of defending Scola before defending Yang Yang gave the Chinese kid space.

After planning a goal, Nijmegen strengthened his emphasis on Yang Yang on the right, and his performance was greatly curbed.

In the current situation of Yang Yang, it is definitely not a good thing to play the main force prematurely. It is better to let him come off the bench and continue to get opportunities for game training, continue to polish and improve his skills, and wait until the time is right to step into the main position.

"It's not like Ronald Coman's style of training young players, it's like Van Gaal." When Van Malvik mentioned Van Gaal's name, there was a trace of admiration in his eyes, how to say another in private, but Van Gaal's ability is beyond doubt.

At this time, he saw the coach seat of the home team, assistant coach Luther Carol finally reached the bench, gently shouted the name of a player, and then saw Yang Yang from the seat He stood up and took off his long-sleeved sportswear, revealing the number 99 shirt.

"Finally, I can't help but go up." Van Malvik had a sense of satisfaction with Bao, and turned back, beckoning to the veteran Van Hallen who was sitting on the bench, the latter also immediately grasped come over.

"Did you see the kid on the 99th?"

"Yes."

"Staring at him."

"Okay." Van Halen replied faintly, then ran over to warm up, ready to play.

Van Malvik raised his head and looked directly at the court with a confident smile.

He has been coaching Feyenoord for three years, a league runner-up and a Dutch Cup runner-up, but the most important one is the UEFA Cup champion. This is the honor he received in 2002 and also proves to everyone His coaching ability.

With the current strength of Feyenoord, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to beat Ajax and Eindhoven in the league, so the Dutch Cup is Van Malvik's breakthrough.

At present, there are already a lot of teams in the four major leagues reaching out to him. He needs to prove himself with another weighty championship and let him take this step of Dutch football and step more firmly.

Eindhoven lost to Breda, and as long as Feyenoord can defeat Ajax to enter the quarterfinals, Van Malvik has enough confidence to beat other Dutch teams.

To defeat Ajax, first freeze the number ninety-nine standing on the sidelines and about to come off the bench.

…………

…………

"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle, reached his hand forward, awarded a foul by Feyenoord, and gave Ajax a chance to position the ball near the midfield, which made Ajax players very dissatisfied. Follow the referee to ask for a statement.

Yang Yang sat on the ground, pulled down the socks, saw the kick injury on his calf, rubbed his muscles vigorously, rearranged the leg guards and ball socks, and stood up from the ground.

Just a moment ago, he had just retreated to receive Sneijder ’s pass, and before turning around, Van Hallen came up from the back to prevent him from turning around. The two were in the entanglement, Yang Yang passed the ball, but Van Halen didn't close his foot, but kicked it directly on his calf.

The controversy of the Ajax players is that the referee should at least give a yellow card, or even a warning, but the referee clearly believes that his penalty is very reasonable, without any favoritism.

Each head referee has its own law enforcement standards, Yang Yang can only accept this, but for Van Hallen ...

"Ajax players really need to calm down now."

"There is not much time left for the game, but their mood seems a little irritable, which is not a good sign."

"Rather than chasing the head referee to say something, it is better to focus on the game and fight for a threatening attack as soon as possible."

Head coach Ronald Coleman also shouted at the players on the sidelines, indicating that they should not be in a hurry and hurried back to the game.

Ajax players all returned to the stadium one after another, and the game started again.

Feyenoord's left-back Van Hallen, who had just come off the bench, still followed Yang Yang. No matter where Yang Yang ran, as long as he received the ball, Van Hallen always got behind him.

Catch the ball, but don't want to turn around.

This caused Yang Yang to play ten twists, each time he could only be forced to pass back after receiving the ball.

Not only he, but the players on the Ajax stadium played awkwardly, and the fans in the stands also saw the difference.

But time is running out.
