Beat Bayern Munich away?
If this kind of argument is before the game, everyone will find it impossible, or even sneer.
Because the difference between the two teams is too great.
Bayern Munich is one of the strongest teams in European football today. It is hailed as the top team that can compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. What about Ajax?
This is just an infamous Dutch team. They haven't even entered the Champions League group stage for many years.
With such a team, what can they do with Bayern Munich?
Even before the game, many German media are speculating about how many goals Bayern Munich will win tonight?
Because they are not only thinking about winning, but also scoring a goal difference.
But in the game, they found that the situation was not as they thought.
Bayern Munich's real good shot only played for ten minutes, and immediately became Ajax's counterattack game.
This team from the Dutch team actively took the high position to press and oppress, without any cowardice to retreat, and took a quick ground pass and cut cooperation when countering, always able to send the ball to Bayern Munich's 30 in two or three foot passes Within the meter area, the threat is created by the fast running of the frontcourt players.
After equalizing one to one, this young team, whose average age is not even twenty years old, has exploded into an amazing fighting spirit and is very excited on the court.
Although they have fallen behind in ball possession, on the scene, especially when it comes to making threats, they seem to be better than Bayern Munich, and several young players are also flashing frequently.
This made the fans in the stands stunned.
Is this still the rumored flank team Ajax?

"What magic did Yang Yang impose on this team?"
Bayern Munich President Rummenigge shook his head incredulously, surprised by the situation on the court.
This completely subverted his expectation of the game before the game, because in his view, it should have been Bayern Munich wholly dominated the game, killing Ajax had no way to fight back, why now it looks like Bayern Munich is quite dangerous.
Van Gaal used to be the head coach at Bayern Munich. Tonight, he led the team as the technical director of Ajax. At this moment, he was invited to sit beside Rummenigge.
After listening to the words of the Bayern Munich chairman, Van Gaal chuckled, "Yang Yang is not a magician. He injected his football philosophy into this team, but they are still too young."
If it were not for youth, Ajax had already scored two goals long ago.
Whether it's Jovic's shot, or Neres' missed header, it's a pity.
But this is the case with young teams, where flashes and mistakes always coexist.
Didn't someone say it?
Young people are always maturing while making mistakes.
Rummenigge has reservations about Van Gaal's words. He believes that even if Ajax's players are more mature, they may not be able to enter Bayern Munich even more than one ball, because the Bundesliga team is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
But one thing is certain, that is Robben and Ribery are really old.
Robben basically failed to create a threat for the rest of the game except the first two, and Ribery was similar.
Yang Yang himself is a veteran, so he knows how to limit Robben and Ribery.
What's interesting is that other teams in the Bundesliga do everything they can to do, and sometimes even hesitate to use two defensive players to do what Yang Yang did with one person.
"It's really not simple." Rummenigge praised, this is the recognition of Yang Yang's coaching ability.
"But let's be honest, how long can you hold on to such a high position?"
Klopp ’s Dortmund and Liverpool claim to have only 60 minutes of physical fitness, what about Ajax?
Van Gaal smiled, "It looks a bit like Klopp, it's a bit like Simone, and it's a bit like Guardiola ... Yang Yang has never done the kind of thing that doesn't care about his head. As far as I know, players' Physical fitness is actually not as big as we think, as if Simone's team can last for ninety minutes. "
Rummenigge immediately froze when he heard this.
If this is the case, then the situation is a bit bad.
Van Gaal was right, Ajax's high position forced to grab with Klopp, Simone and Guardiola, and then went back to Benitez, even coaching Valencia earlier, and scored twice In the Champions League final, the Argentine head coach Cooper who led the European double-waist trend ... can be said to be the same.
Although each has its own advantages and disadvantages, Ajax is very different from them.
The physical energy consumption is smaller than Klopp, and the duration of the game is longer; the passing and controlling ball is smoother and smoother than Simone, and can play a more exciting and complex cooperation; the counterattack is faster and sharper than Guardiola, and never blindly controls The ball; the double midfielder is more flexible than Benitez, and the tactics are more flexible and changeable ...
Compared with these same types of coaches and teams, Yang Yang ’s Ajax has some of its own advantages and some of its own disadvantages, but the integration has become the current at Allianz Stadium, limiting Bayern Munich to death. This team.
Even Yang Yang's Ajax is completely different from when he was in Real Madrid.
The team coached by Zidane and Yang Yang even more often shrink their defenses to keep the formation compact, but Yang Yang has always insisted on high pressure and oppression, and he refuses to move. This ...
Rumenig suddenly discovered that this might not be Yang Yang's idea, but because Ajax was too young.
In this way, Yang Yang may not have a fixed idea, but tailor-made like Ancelotti.
"Interesting, really interesting!" Rumenig chuckled.
Although the outcome of the match is related to Bayern Munich's UEFA Champions League trip, as the club's president, Rummenig is still happy to see young people like Yang Yang taking the lead.
Especially still such a young superstar!

The first half ended with a one-to-one handshake and peace.
The pace of the game was very fast. Bayern Munich controlled the ball. Ajax created threats through high pressure and quick counterattacks. It also created several good opportunities, but failed to continue to score.
During the halftime, Yang Yang affirmed the team's performance in the first half of the field and also gave the direction of the second half.
"Bayern Munich's defense is cumbersome and slow, they seem to be caught on the grass."
"We haven't dealt with it well in the first half. I hope everyone will pay attention to it. After we reach the front half in the second half, we need to play fast, and the side and the middle can fall back and forth."
"Everyone should not be imprisoned. Van der Beck can pull to the side, Sancho and Neres can come back to the middle, or even back to the midfield, and Ndongbele and Frankie De Jong can also go forward. Insert, Jovic's pull-out and retracement are both possible ... "
"To put it simply, after the ball reaches the frontcourt, let it flow, wherever there are gaps, we will go wherever we go and pick the opponent's weakest and weakest link to play."
"They are bulky, we are light, and they are slow, we are fast."
"Do n’t be afraid of mistakes. As long as you throw back the ball and fight back immediately, as long as all of you are willing to invest in the defense, the mistake is nothing. Is n’t it just a few points of ball control? Goals, there must be threats! "
Subsequently, Yang Yang analyzed the goal and the goal in the first half.
The goal is the product of a typical combination of sides, and can even be said to be a model of Yang Yang's offensive thinking. He hopes that the team will stick to this set of thinking and stick to this style of play.
As for conceding the ball, Yang Yang did not name Militang, because the Brazilian central defender was commendable except for the opening error, especially facing Lewandowski, Robben and Thomas several times. Mueller's defense.
"In the first half of this game, I believe everyone saw it. Even in the face of Bayern Munich, we have a chance. So the most important thing in the second half is to continue to stabilize, don't give your opponent a chance!"
"Be calm when attacking. Don't worry. We are not afraid of taking risks or making mistakes, because as long as our attempt succeeds, our opponent will be finished."
…………
…………
After changing sides in the second half and then fighting, neither team made substitutions.
Bayern Munich still uses that style of play. Kovac has no good way to face Ajax's tactics.
Perhaps because of the home battle, Bayern Munich again attacked after the start of the second half, and even spared no effort to invest more troops on the offensive end.
In the first attack of the opening, Bayern Munich even put eight players in the frontcourt, leaving only two central defenders behind.
Kovac's intention to win is very strong, but sometimes, the problem cannot be solved by a large number of people.
Especially on the court.
Bayern Munich has invested more troops, but in the absence of effective platoon formations, it seems to be bloated.
Robben and Ribery still failed to create a threat, which caused Kovac to replace them in the 60th minute.
Ribery contributed very little to the whole game. Robben also made no achievements except for two threats at the opening.
After all, they are all old.
...
On the pitch, Bayern Munich held the ball in control, but it was difficult to create a threat.
Ajax struggled to maintain his own defense. As his physical energy was exhausted, he had to gradually withdraw the oppression area and could not stick to the high position of the first half. This also made the home team's advantage look more obvious.
However, Bayern Munich still can not find an effective offensive means.
Even after the substitutions, Bayern Munich's offense has not improved.
The scene was so deadlocked that it lasted for ten minutes.
It was not until the 75th minute that Ajax decided to make the first substitution adjustment.
Fans on the spot didn't pay attention, neither did the audience in front of the TV, but when the director suddenly switched to the Ajax bench, everyone was surprised at first.
But then, they were shocked!
Because they saw that Yang Yang took off his long-sleeved sportswear, revealing Ajax's jersey.
He is going to play!
