Although Yang Yang and Van Gaal had a very easy conversation on the phone, in the Netherlands, Ajax vs. Alkmaar was a battle for the Kings League this season.
Alkmaar currently leads the standings with 56 points, Eindhoven followed with 55 points, Ajax ranked third with 54 points, and Feyenoord in fourth place is only Forty-four points.
Judging from the ranking of the standings, other teams, including Feyenoord, have been difficult to shake the rankings of the top three teams, and the champion will be born from these three teams.
Judging from the results of this season's battles, these three teams are relatively stable, and the scores they should get are basically taken, which makes the number of games played against each other two by two become crucial, especially in the second half of the season. Cheng.
Ajax played against Alkmaar, and the game is, to some extent, even the league champion.
Because of this, it pays special attention to both sides.
Ronald Coleman arranged a lot of players in the Dutch Cup rotation, the purpose is to concentrate on preparing for Alkmaar.
Van Gaal returned to the Amsterdam Arena, and is still the coach of the visiting team, which undoubtedly adds a bit of attention to this game. Now that Alkmaar is at the top of the list, it is impossible to give up the lead Sheep position.
Both teams are determined to win, and the entire Netherlands can also be said to be a national concern.
On the day of the game, the Amsterdam Arena was full of seats. In addition to Ajax fans, since Alkmaar is not far from Amsterdam, there are also many visiting team fans.
Players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel and walked into the stadium, the scene was loud, cheers and boos were mixed.
In that battle, even Ajax players were quite surprised.
Since Alkmaar is very close to Amsterdam, the two teams have a deep exchange of players with each other. For example, Vlar on the Ajax bench is from Alkmaar.
This game is against Yang Yang, Alkmaar left guard Tim Dekler is from Ajax youth training.
Tim Dekler, twenty-five years old, performed very well in Alkmaar this season, and the voice for the Dutch national team was high, which was considered to be promoted by Co Adrian during the coaching of Ajax. 'S youth training teenager, but not liked by Ronald Coman, was dug into Alkmaar by Adrian.
This left defender has good offensive and defensive abilities, and is a player with a balanced offense and defense. This season is also a left-wing defender that Van Gaal has always relied on. Kerr's shortcomings.
And this player is also Van Gaal's key deployment to freeze Yang Yang tonight.
…………
…………
Although in the super training ground last night, Yang Yang specially simulated the entire back line of Dekelel and Alkmaar, and conducted a simulation training for more than half of the night, but he really found the opponent more in the game. Tough.
Simulated training is always simulation, but actual combat is completely different.
Especially when Alkmaar ’s players have undergone Van Gaal ’s key deployment and drills, in the left half of the whole half, it seems that they have created an iron cage, and each player is like this The iron bars in the iron cage, and Yang Yang is the bird trapped in this cage.
Van Gaal did, as he expected before the game, did not specifically arrange personnel to mark Yang Yang, but he used a regional joint defense to imprison Yang Yang, and cut off Yang Yang from other players in the front court and midfield and backcourt.
This set of targeted defensive tactics by Alkmaar effectively restrained Yang Yang ’s play after the opening. In the first ten minutes, he received the ball very few times. Some of them were isolated from the team. feel.
Yang Yang soon realized this, and he immediately expanded his range of activities.
After Van Gaal came to Alkmaar, he injected rationality into this team that had once been ardently offensively tuned by Adrian, and the defense level has also improved a lot. This is mainly reflected in the overall movement of players. .
As soon as Yang Yang entered the threat zone on the right, Alkmaar immediately tightened his cage.
Moreover, the cage will still move as Yang Yang runs.
This made Yang Yang feel very depressed and could only take the ball on the side, or retrace deeper and take the ball in the area without threats.
Staying away from the goal, his threat is greatly reduced.
Yang Yang also has to admit that Alkmaar's defense is indeed very good.
This is not a passive defense, but an active oppression defense filled with overall running, much like Ajax.
"This old guy really has two brushes." Yang Yang glanced at Van Gaal in front of the visiting coach and smiled inwardly.
"But if I thought this would trap me, it would be too small for me!"
…………
…………
Ten minutes into the opening, Yang Yang was misfired on the right and failed to create a threat after several catches, which made Van Gaal very satisfied.
The assistants sitting in the coach's seat of the visiting team are also relieved that the targeted tactics worked.
Van Gaal still felt a little sigh in his heart.
At this time last year, he was still in Ajax, still thinking, if he coached Alkmaar, he would bring Yang Yang to this team, personally cultivate, personally sculpt, he really wanted to see To what extent can Yang Yang grow up.
Unexpectedly, in the second half of the season, Yang Yang became famous and even scored a lore in the Champions League final.
Today, Yang Yang is no longer the fledgling kid last year. He already has a Champions League and has won the Dutch Champions League. He is the second European Golden Boy Award winner and a young genius known in European football.
Now, he is even the top scorer of Ajax, and he has the strength to compete with the famous Dutch **** Kuyt for the goalscorer king.
All of these things developed too fast, so fast that Van Gaal was overwhelmed.
Even, what happened on the court in front of him made Van Gaal not quite believe it.
Yang Yang was really imprisoned like this?
Is he such a player who is easily imprisoned?
This ominous thought just appeared in his mind. Van Gaal saw Yang Yang on the court also looking at himself. He also had a smiley expression, as if to say, you look down on me too!
This made Van Gaal suddenly have a strong uneasiness.
…………
…………
When Yang Yang saw the football pass back to the backcourt and gave it to Mai Kong's foot on the right, he quickly pulled to the right, ran back against the sideline, and raised his hand to Mai Kong to ask for the ball.
Tim De Kler chose to keep up with it for the first time, but his reaction was slower and slower than Yang Yang. When he chased behind Yang Yang, Mai Kong's pass had arrived in front of Yang Yang.
So, Alkmaar's left back chose to block Yang Yang.
But Yang Yang had already expected his choice long before he waited for Dekelel to get closer and took a step forward, his left foot stopped horizontally.
The ball immediately slid to Yang Yang's right side, and he turned around for the first time, facing Dekelel and quickly dribbling the ball inward.
Midfielder Barry Van Gain was right behind De Kler, but because they were both moving fast, the distance between the two kept a little far away. After Yang Yang sideways with the ball inside, Van Gaon returned to the defensive position.
In the face of the opponent who came in a hurry, when Yang Yang was just going to cut into the restricted area in the ribs, Fan Jiaen immediately took the bluff and made a blocking action, but in fact Yang Yang was a false shot, a pendulum passed by, and Van Gaal was shaken Cut inwards with the ball horizontally.
Yang Yang's original idea was to cut the ball to the middle, and then cooperate with his teammates, or pass the ball to his teammates.
But when he cut the ball all the way to the right of the arc top of the penalty area, he saw that Alkmaar's midfield dragged the player back hurriedly too deep, blocking the central defender to a certain extent, and appeared between the two middles. There was a gap.
At this moment, he seemed to see a passage leading to the goal.
From behind the dragged midfielder, between the two defenders, the ball can directly lead to the left side of the goal.
Seeing this passage, Yang Yang suddenly had a strong irresistible longing at that moment.
From where he is, he is at least 20 meters away from the goal. He has never tried to hit the goal from such a long distance, because he has always been unable to shoot at such a long distance.
This kind of shooting requires not only angle but also strength.
But at this moment, Yang Yang had a strong feeling, he felt he could, and still left foot.
I worked **** my left foot for nearly two years!
And he has worked hard for nearly half a year of strength training, and he should get some results!
Almost at that moment, Yang Yang made a decision immediately, lifted his left foot, and directly hit a burst shot.
A bang was heard at the scene.
The football flew out of Yang Yang's left foot and crossed the defensive player's back at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, with a beautiful arc, almost rubbing the left column, and hit the goal behind him!
"Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"
"World wave! World wave !!!!!!"
With the exclamation of the commentator, the entire Amsterdam Arena completely boiled.
Countless Ajax fans rushed out of the stands excitedly, rushed to the fence, and shouted Yang Yang loudly.
After Yang Yang also shot that shot, he quickly turned and rushed out of the court, directly rushing to the bottom of the Ajax fan stand, spread his arms, as if to embrace the cheers and cheers pouring from the stand.
"Oh my god, in the 19th minute, the opening 19 minutes, Yang Yang dribble the ball on the right and suddenly hit a world wave!"
"This is definitely a rock-shattering long shot, 25 meters away from the goal!"
"fantastic!"
"This will definitely be a world wave that everyone talks about!"
"No one thought that Yang Yang would suddenly shoot long-range and hit such a high-quality world wave."
"In Alkmaar's tight defensive position, there were only a few small gaps. As a result, Yang Yang caught him and scored the first goal with a wonderful world wave!"
