On the evening of April 21st, Amsterdam Arena.
Both teams entered the UEFA Champions League semi-finals after a series of hard fights, and both sides attached great importance to this game.
Ronald Coleman and Deschamps both young and handsome young men have arranged a targeted tactics.
Monaco, who played away, took the lead in attacking, using the speed and personal ability of forward player Guli, and frequently created threats from the beginning of the game. In the second and fourth minutes, he made two consecutive dangerous situations, including one direct pass. A single-shot was formed, but at the critical moment Escud decisively shoveled in the restricted area to clear the fence.
Then Ajax quickly stabilized his position, used his home advantage and pass and control the ball advantage, stabilized the rhythm, and effectively formed a defense against the opponent's two wings, forcing Monaco's subsequent attack is difficult to create a threat.
Morientes and Giuly each had two offsides afterwards, showing that the offside trap of Ajax's key exercises before the game was quite effective.
In the first ten minutes, Ajax shot only once, from Van der Vaart, but failed to form a threat.
However, under Trabelsi ’s step-by-step approach, the left side of Monaco ’s Luroten was also restricted and lost the threat, so that the trident of Rotten, Morientes and Gyuli, which Deschan relied on, could not be made Out threat.
Both teams have played targeted tactics and played an important role. In the game, it is difficult for anyone to break through the opponent's defense, making the game intense, but a bit dull.
Both sides are very devoted, trying to break through the other's defense line, but at the same time, they are trying to avoid mistakes.
But in the thirty-first minute, Ajax launched a counterattack.
Left-back Maxwell pushed the ball across the center line and passed it to Van der Vaart in the middle.
Captain Ajax drove the ball all the way forward and suddenly scored on the left and gave Wesley Songk. The Belgian player got the ball on the left and was closely guarded by the opponent's right-back Ibara. The ball accidentally touched Ibala's foot and failed to fly into the penalty area to find Ibrahimovic, but landed on the left side of the penalty area.
Van der Vaart quickly caught up from behind and grabbed the ball in front of everyone. After removing the ball, he directly volleyed with his left foot.
The ball quickly shot into Monaco's goal at a very fast speed, and Ajax took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.
All the fans in the audience cheered wildly and kept calling Van der Vaart's name.
All the Ajax players also rushed out of the field and hugged with Van der Vaart to celebrate this hard-won goal.
Yang Yang sat on the bench and watched Van der Vaart score a goal. The whole person jumped up and clapped hard.
"It's so beautiful!" Yang Yang truly admired.
This ball seems to have made mistakes by Monaco, but in fact van der Vaart's personal ability is also very important.
At that time, Monaco's defense was so little. If Van der Vaart didn't stop the ball on the first stop, it would be too late to adjust. The defensive player came, and Van der Vaart's handling was also very clever. The fight did not give the Monaco central defender time to react and make up for it.
"It's good to stop the ball, really good!" Yang Yang smiled enviously.
Van der Vaart is recognized as the best player in Ajax's basic skills and stopping the ball. At his level, even if it is put into European football, it is definitely second to none.
"Don't envy you, continue to practice hard, you will be able to practice well." Fairmaren beside him chuckled.
Yang Yang nodded, he also felt that he should strengthen the training of stopping the ball as soon as possible.
More than a month ago, Lao Bing at the super training ground raised the guard who accompanied him every night to the level of the Dutch armour. This is also to further help Yang Yang become familiar with the game and rhythm of the Dutch armour.
From joining Ajax in August to now, Yang Yang has been practicing [Ronaldo's assault] and [Beckham's cross] to do his best to improve the strength of the two star skills, but now he has some It feels like progress is getting slower and slower.
Of course, this is also normal. After all, he used to be too weak, and his progress can of course be fast, but with his unremitting efforts and continuous training, his current level has at least met the requirements of the Dutch. At this time, if you want to further improve, the difficulty is definitely greater.
It's like a student who originally had a zero score, it is not difficult to pass a pass, but it is obviously much harder to pass the excellent 80 points, and it is even more difficult if you want to pass the ninety or even a hundred points. Difficult.
Now, Yang Yang's progress is the same, the harder it is to move forward.
In addition, both of the star skills have been polished by the UEFA Champions League. Thanks to the team's overall tactics, they have performed well. Yang Yang feels that he needs to make up for another short board and stop the ball.
Of course, whether it is [Ronaldo's assault] or [Beckham's cross], Yang Yang is based on capital. It must not be lost or slack.
It is the so-called one-day practice, one-day practice, not one-day practice.
Yang Yang knows that what he needs most now is to continue to practice hard and continue to improve himself.

…………
With a one-ball lead, Ajax entered the intermission.
Ronald Coman gave a high evaluation of the team's performance in the first half, thinking that everyone played what the team had worked hard before, which put a lot of pressure on the opponent, but he also encouraged players It must just be renewed.
The left side of the first half was alive, but the right side was a bit down. This is a question raised by Ronald Coman midfielder.
The problem on the right is mainly that Trabelsi must focus on Rotten. This player is the most threatening killer in the Monaco team. In addition to Giuli ’s most threatening killer, Morrentes ’advantage lies in the grab in the penalty area. Rotten's pass, he seems to be no threat, so limiting Rotten is Trabelsi's number one task.
But right-winger Victor Scola didn't seem excited enough. With Monaco's left defender Evra frequently inserting support for Rotten, he failed to grasp the opportunity sharply and seized the space behind him to fight back.
Although Ronald Coman did not name the criticism, he also proposed an improvement plan, which was a wake-up call for Scola.
After changing sides in the second half, Monaco conceded a goal away, still playing impatiently. In the situation where the frontcourt could not be opened, the left defender Evra frequently inserted to participate in the attack, Ibara on the right After losing a goal, he was obviously reminded by Deschamps that he would focus more on defense in the second half.
Wesley Sock and Van der Vaart are active on this side, plus a very aggressive Maxwell, Monaco ’s defensive pressure on the right is also quite large, where can Ibala be inserted again and again. ?
In the fifty-sixth minute, Monaco launched an offensive. After Evra on the left swiftly plugged in, he crossed the penalty area on the left side.
Ajax defender Heitinga made a mistake in the first kick and failed to kick the ball far, resulting in a chaos in the penalty area. Fortunately, Monaco center Morientes started slightly slower, and then a kick Heitinga blocked the bottom line with his body.
Although he failed to score a goal, Monaco's close shot made Ajax startled with cold sweat.
In the final analysis, Evra's sudden insertion is still quite threatening.
Just four minutes later, Monaco made a comeback again, and it was still the left Evra plugged in with the left-winger Rothen ’s two-on-one. Roten passed the penalty area at the front of the penalty area and Morientes competed with Heitinga. At the top, a header from ten meters in front of the goal.
This time the ball rubbed the post slightly out of the bottom line.
Two consecutive offenses have created a dangerous situation, and anyone can see that Ajax's current defense has problems.
The combination of Ibara and Guri on the right was originally the most threatening, but was limited by Ajax's defense, but Evra on the left started to become active.
"Evera must be pressed down!" Ronald Coman shook his head.
Luther Carol nodded deeply.
Sometimes the football game has a path to follow. Once you let Monaco continue to play on the left side, it is a matter of time to be scored, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to hold it next time.
Only by repressing Evra, Ajax's defense can be stabilized.
"Change Yang Yang?" Luther Carol asked concerned.
Ronald Coman glanced at Victor Scola on the field, and finally nodded.
Victor Scola made his debut as a forward eagle in the Netherlands, and moved to Waiters in 1999. In January 2000, Ronald Coman stepped out of the independent coaching In one step, in the middle of the fight for Vitus, Victor Scola performed quite well under his command. Both seasons were the sharpest right wingers in the Netherlands.
In December 2001, Ronald Coleman took over from Adrian Anse in charge of Ajax. In the summer of 2002, he spent a lot of money to bring Victor Scola to Amsterdam, but in the first season He is more of a substitute for Van der Mead, and he is far from the scenery of the forward eagle and Waiters during his appearance.
After sending away Van der Mede this season, Ronald Coman has high hopes for this former love general, but unfortunately, Victor Scola has never been able to find the previous feeling, and the performance is difficult to satisfy However, in the second half, the 17-year-old teenager Yang Yang was born, making the Dutch winger more awkward in the team's situation.
A few days ago, he took the initiative to find Ronald Coman and proposed the idea of leaving Ajax. Ronald Coman did not agree on the spot, but said that he would consider it and consult with the technical department.
However, from this hour's game tonight, Scola is still disappointing.
In the 65th minute, Yang Yang replaced Victor Scola on the sidelines after in-depth communication with Luther Carroll. The fans of the Amsterdam Arena gave him very warm applause .
The young Chinese teenager is also full of fighting spirit and full of confidence, but Victor Scola looks depressed.
This made Ronald Coman inevitably have a trace of guilt in mind, maybe he hadn't dug him to Ajax, he could play better in Waiters and continue to be his team's offensive core.
But now ...
Ronald Coman quickly calmed down and looked back at the stadium. He hoped that Yang Yang would suppress Evra when he came off the bench and threatened on the right.
And this 17-year-old teenager did not live up to his high expectations, and immediately created a dangerous situation after playing.
