In the face of Bayern Munich, Ajax was not timid, but bravely insisted on his high position.
This kind of tactical play has very obvious restrictions on Bayern Munich. Especially young players are full of energy, energetic, and dare to fight, often on the court with Bayern Munich players.
Jovic and Boateng, Van der Baker and Tiago, Bayern Munich rollover accidents occur frequently outside the restricted area, but Ajax players are all rushing to grab the ball, and there is no other extra action, so there is no brand.
In the face of Ajax's organized and purposeful high-level snatch, Bayern Munich can't really come up with an effective solution.
On the one hand, they want to control the ball, and then try to play the gap behind Ajax, on the other hand, they do not have a very effective way to pass the midfield, they can only frequently go to the front court and the wings to pass long.
On the side of his own half, Yang Yang decisively adjusted the team ’s defensive strategy. For Ribery and Robben, they only let Ashraf and Taliafico two defenders to mark, but for Lewan Dovsky and Derricht are inseparable.
Ajax's strategy is simple, try not to grab the first one, but try to control the second point.
Ribery and Robben took the ball, and Ashraf and Taliafico defended, but the focus of the defense was on the people around them.
The two superstars have lost the ability of one person to single out the entire line of defense. They need the cooperation of their teammates to limit their teammates, which is equivalent to minimizing their threat.
In the same way, Lewandowski is very difficult to deal with, and Ajax often has to wrap him with two central defenders.
It was like this time in the twelfth minute, after Thomas Muller went to the right side to meet Robben, the right side passed diagonally to the restricted area.
Lewandowski blocked Derricht with his body. After stopping the ball in the chest, he tried to pick Derricht and started to turn to hit the door, but Militan responded quickly, and an arrow stepped behind Derricht. Lewandowski was entangled in his body.
As a result, the two players both fell to the left of Ajax's goal and the ball rolled out of the baseline.
The referee signaled that there was no foul. Militang's defense this time was mainly to block Lewandowski with his body, to avoid the Polish center from kicking, and Lewandowski tried his best to get started, but Without kicking the ball, the body lost its balance.
Soon, Kimmich passed from the right to the restricted area.
Lewandowski once again grabbed the first landing point, blocking Derricht with his body, heading towards the Ajax defense line, Robben quickly inserted, but Militan took the lead and kicked the ball. Out of bounds.
Bayern Munich made a quick out-of-bounds pass. Robben dribble the ball laterally inwards and sent a cross pass along the front of the penalty area.
After Thomas Muller took the ball on his back, he turned around and wanted to pass the back to find Ribery, but Ndongbele just appeared on the line of the pass and intercepted the ball directly.
...
The ball was conceded in the first four minutes, but after about ten minutes, Ajax gradually stabilized and began to kick out some of the special training in the past two weeks.
High-level robbing has become more orderly, more disciplined, and has better control over the second point.
This is also Yang Yang's choice.
Regardless of whether it is Derich or Militan, there is no chance of winning against Lewandowski one-on-one.
Now that you know you can't grab the first point, you might as well control the second point.
As the game went deeper, Ajax's defensive strategy began to work.
After stabilizing their position, the team started to fight back.
Ajax's counterattack is also carefully planned, because Bayern Munich also likes to grab high positions.
Fighting long passes, Ajax may not have a sufficient advantage, because in terms of personal ability, the Dutch team is clearly at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Yang Yang's counterattack strategy is not to pass a long pass, to directly cooperate.
Through Ajax's traditional small-area continuous transmission and wall-to-wall coordination, it advances at the fastest speed and fights back.
One advantage of this style of play is that in the frontcourt, through the cooperation of the players, it will be very threatening, and the success rate is high.
Ajax's first shot of the audience took place in the seventeenth minute, with a quick push from the left.
Taliafico hurried along the left and passed the ball to Neres.
The Brazilian left winger tried to cut the ball inwards, and after pulling Kimihira to the inside of the penalty area, he returned to the left.
Taliafico went home and grabbed a foot pass before Kimihi to the penalty area. Jovic got a pretty good chance in the left corner of the small penalty area, but unfortunately, this foot shot failed to suppress Live the ball, high!
Jovic groaned in frustration, venting his dissatisfaction.
After all, the pressure is still too much.
Whether it is Bayern Munich's central defender or goalkeeper Neuer, it is the world's top, which makes the pressure of such an unknown petty player, Jovic, the more he wants to score, the more pressure he often has.
"Lucca!" Yang Yang shouted loudly on the sidelines. When he saw Jovic turned his head, he pointed hard at his brain. "Calm down! Take a deep breath and stay calm!"
Jovic took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
"At any time, under any circumstances, there can be no chaos!"
This is what Yang Yang told him. As a striker, if you get confused, don't expect to score goals.
...
With the first time, Ajax quickly tried out the second time.
This time it was a quick counterattack from the right.
Ashraf sprinted on the right and sprinted forward very quickly. After receiving a cross pass from Van der Beck, he drove the ball all the way to the right foot of the outside of the restricted area of Bayern Munich. Before Alaba, the ball suddenly went inward With a buckle, the kick was passed to the back point.
This is a characteristic of Ashraf. His left foot is as proficient as his right foot.
The sudden oblique pass made Bayern Munich a mess in the penalty area.
Neres, Jovic and Sancho are all in the penalty area, and Van der Baker has just rushed to the front of the penalty area, all opportunities.
Unfortunately, Ashraf's diagonal pass was missed.
Jovic was held together by Boateng and Humels, Neres jumped high, but unfortunately it was out of reach.
An excellent goal-scoring opportunity, once again passing Ajax.
...
"Well done!"
Yang Yang rushed to the sidelines and applauded vigorously while beckoning Ashraf over.
As Ashraf was close to Yang Yang's side, the Moroccan full-back quickly ran forward.
"See? No, they like to take the ball on the left side. After the ball is broken, the gap is larger. After you see the opportunity, you need to be more determined. After inserting, you can be more flexible. , Or pass it to teammates, can pose a threat, understand? "
Yang Yang saw the problems of Bayern Munich and gave instructions immediately.
Ashraf nodded hard, turned and ran back to the court.
...
Soon, after a quick goal kick from Bayern Munich, they still failed to break Ajax's defense.
After the two wingers were imprisoned in the frontcourt, Lewandowski could only grab the first point, and the second point was basically obtained by Ajax, so soon, Ajax planned again Offense.
Still a quick counterattack on the right.
Ashraf sprinted forward and saw Sancho snatching the ball to the right. He decided to cut inward.
Sancho immediately passed the ball over, and after Ashraf got the ball, he made some adjustments and shot directly.
This sudden long shot hit Bayern Munich by surprise and Neuer flew sideways, which saved the ball dangerously and turned it into Ajax's corner kick.
The subsequent corner kick failed to form a threat, Bayern Munich quickly launched a counterattack.
Lewandowski still grabbed the first landing point, and Thomas Mueller also successfully plugged in, grabbed the second landing point, but in Taliafico's step by step, Bayern striker backed down There is no chance to get started.
Eventually on the right side of the top of the arc in the penalty area, Thomas Mueller barely kicked the goal, but failed to hit the force and was hugged by goalkeeper Onana.
Twenty minutes later, Ajax launched another quick counterattack from the right.
After Van der Becker withdrew the pass from the midfield, it was passed to Ashraf who inserted quickly.
Sancho pulled Alaba directly to the right near the line. After Ashraf got the ball, the speed did not decrease at all, but instead of looking for Sancho, he took the ball inward.
Jovich understood the situation and suddenly retreated from the front to pull Humels out. After receiving Ashraf's pass, he picked it back and went back.
The Moroccan international kicked straight into Hummels behind, and after the ball was stopped in the chest in the penalty area, his left foot shot low.
This shot directly penetrated the goal of Bayern Munich and equalized the score for Ajax!
One to one!
Ashraf was so excited that after scoring, he ran out all the way, first ran to the corner to celebrate, then ran all the way to the coach and bench of Ajax, and gave a high five to Xavi Alonso After that, he hugged Yang Yang vigorously.
He feels really good now!
Because in Ajax, Yang Yang gave him a lot of freedom and trust, the tactical environment is also very loose, plus the surrounding young players, so he does not have the kind of mountain pressure when playing in the first team of Real Madrid.
Especially tonight, he felt that his feet seemed lighter. He gradually began to realize that he seemed to understand how to play football and what kind of development route he was most suitable for.
This was not what Yang Yang told him directly, but Yang Yang guided him to find it.
Ajax players are also very excited, because they all clearly feel that after the fifteenth minute, Ajax has continuously created opportunities through counterattacks, which is unusual.
This proves that Bayern Munich's attack is not terrible, but Ajax's counterattack is very threatening.
Even if it wasn't for the lack of opportunity just now, it would have been reversed.
Yang Yang is also very happy and very excited.
After releasing Ashraf, he said confidently towards the player in front of him: "Now, I'm pretty sure that as long as we continue to play like this, there will be a chance tonight!"
"Even, we can win!"
