Super Storm

On the evening of August 14, the Cruyff Stadium in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

In the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, Ajax faced standard Liege at home.

When standard Liege coach Prudholm walked into the Cruyff stadium, more than 50,000 fans screamed at him violently, which made him all moved, because in Belgium, he rarely Encountered such a big scene.

But soon, he knew why.

His heart was full of wry smiles, because it was not his decision to bring Yang Yang and Ajax to UEFA.

It doesn't matter, he is the head coach of Standard Liege. The decision of the club's management, his head coach, is very normal.

However, the boos from Ajax fans made Prudholm's already heavy mood even more depressed.

Is Ajax a strong team?

This is a matter of opinion.

Leaving Yang Yang apart, Ajax is actually not strong, because this team has stopped for several consecutive years before the UEFA Champions League group stage, and it is always the first runner-up in the Netherlands. Such a team is not as strong as it is.

Especially in the past few years, the core players have gone one by one. Two years ago, the team of the UEFA Cup runner-up was basically hollowed out.

This is why many people questioned Yang Yang's decision, and many people even felt that he was degenerate.

Prudhomme thought so too, but after the first round of the two sides, he completely overturned the prejudices of the past.

Ajax, or Ajax under Yang Yang, is actually very strong.

He has no way to describe that feeling. He ca n’t even say where the team is strong, but he really feels that the team is strong, the offense is strong, and the midfield control is strong. The defense is also very strong.

But the final result didn't look like this. The score of two to two is more like the two sides played a good half.

After returning home, Prudholm carefully studied the video of the first round of the game. He felt that this Ajax played a tactical game that was very different from the teams in the leagues of the Bundesliga, Netherlands, Austria, etc. It is extremely rare even in the four major leagues.

After thinking for several days, Prudholm suddenly realized.

Yang Yang is using the most advanced football skills and tactics in European football to transform the young Ajax.

This team is like Real Madrid, but it is not like Real Madrid, because they do not have Real Madrid's outstanding superstars; like Barcelona, ​​especially after Frankie De Jong's delay, it is too similar, but it is not like, because of Dombele looks like Yaya Touré. When will Barcelona combine Yaya Touré and Busquets?

The high-level oppression is very much like Atletico, Dortmund and Liverpool, but not all, and the two full-backs forward attack is very similar to Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich ...

Each team is unique. It's a mule or a horse. You can see it clearly when you pull it out.

Prudhomme may not be a well-known head coach in Europe, but at least he has also been in this line for decades. He asked himself that his eyesight is still there, that is, this Ajax is really different.

It feels like Guardiola coached Bayern Munich, Klopp coached Liverpool, or Mourinho returned to Chelsea, and there was a metamorphosis.

And Yang Yang brought this transformation to Ajax.

Prudholm really felt a fear of dimensionality reduction from Yang Yang.

The dimensionality reduction strike on the tactical concept!

...

Yang Yang walked into the Cruyff Stadium with thunderous applause.

This is his second appearance at Cruyff Stadium, and he just played the first round of the league a few days ago.

It was a complete victory, but to be honest, Yang Yang was still not satisfied with his team's ability to score, and missed too many opportunities.

This time, Yang Yang did not follow the practice, walked over to shake hands with the coach of Prudhomme and other visiting teams, but went straight to the bench and sat down with a knife.

He is a substitute player!

There was another burst of thunderous cheers, and countless Ajax fans were shouting Yang Yang's name.

At this moment, all fans around the world watching the live broadcast of the game are estimated to be laughing.

Have you ever seen someone suspended for four months, still sitting on the bench so carelessly?

The guide was also unwilling to do so. He cut the lens to Prudholm, the coach of the visiting team. The latter was really embarrassed, such as sitting on the needle felt and uncomfortable.

...

This game of Ajax still continues the lineup of the first round of the two sides without any adjustment.

Goalkeeper Onana, the defenders are Taliafico, Militan, Dricht and Ashraf, the midfield is still Frankie De Jong and Ndongbele dragged behind, Vanderbeck forward, The tridents in the frontcourt are Neres, Jovic and Sancho.

Ajax rotated nine players in the weekend's league, as did Standard Liege, and the rotation is not small.

Since the start of the Ligue 1 league, the standard Liege two recent leagues are zero to zero, is to rejuvenate to play Ajax.

In the first round, two to two at home, visiting Cruyff Stadium, Prudholm was more cautious.

After the opening, Ajax also did not advance, but first stabilized his position.

This is also Yang Yang's strategy.

Two to two away, Ajax has a certain advantage to a certain extent, so this game is very important to avoid letting Liege get an away goal.

As long as the Belgian team cannot score an away goal, the victory belongs to Ajax.

If you want to prevent the opponent from scoring a goal, if you want to play more stable, you don't have to retreat. You can also like Ajax, still use high position to press and oppress, but the lineup is kept closer.

Standard Liege still adopts a four-three-three single-waist formation. The only change is that in the center position, Emmond replaced the high center Orlando Sa with the first round goal, obviously still want to score.

Prudholm's away goal is definitely to score, but after the opening, standard Liege also played relatively stable, even a bit like defending waiting for a counterattack opportunity.

...

After the game started, Yang Yang did not sit on the bench anymore, but walked to the sidelines, commanding the team from time to time, and shouting players.

He is still calling on Van der Beck to pay attention to connecting the front and back courts, and the two full-backs should be bolder at the right time, and the score on the wing should be decisive and firm.

Van der Beck is not a very creative player. His main feature is comprehensive, all-round midfielder, which is very important for Ajax's high pressure and pressure, but it is slightly inferior in creativity. .

But he was born in Ajax's youth training, there is no problem with passing and receiving, and he has a wide range of activities. Yang Yang's requirement for him is to connect, organize and create opportunities to have Frankie De Jong behind him. And Ndongbele.

Don't look at Ndongbeilei is black and hard, but in fact, this guy's footwork is very good, dribbling and passing ability is very good, which is why Yang Yang is so dependent on him.

Yang Yang has always believed that when Ajax maintains patience, constantly pulling the opponent's defense back and forth and pressing the ball in the opponent's half, the chance of scoring will not be less.

As it turns out, the standard Liege lasted only 30 minutes.

In the 30th minute, it was a counterattack from the midfielder Van der Baker who stole the ball. Neres dribbling the ball from the left tried to fail inside, and passed to the bottom line. Talia Fico quickly inserted the edge and the bottom line was passed forward. In front of the door.

Jovic then missed the goal, a volley sideways, using the inside of the foot to swipe Taliafico's pass into the standard Liege goal, opening the record for Ajax!

"Wow!"

Yang Yang was so excited that the whole person jumped up, which was even happier than his own goal.

After Jovic scored a goal, the whole person quickly rushed out of the court, first ran to the corner area, and then turned towards the home team coach and bench, ran to Xavi Alonso and rushed to In front of Yang Yang, hug him hard.

"It's so beautiful!" Yang Yang laughed with haha. "It's a bit like Ibrahimovic's scorpion tail!"

This goal is very difficult, but what makes Yang Yang most surprised is the smell in front of Jovic, which is too sharp.

And at the moment of capturing the shooting opportunity, he made the best choice for the moment and sent the ball into the goal.

This guy is a natural shooter!

...

After Jovic scored a goal, Ajax took advantage of the chase and continued to attack towards standard Liege.

Four minutes later, Sancho forced a breakthrough with the ball on the right and was cleared to the bottom line to win the corner for Ajax.

Frankie De Jong took the corner and Derricht scored a header to make the next city for Ajax.

Two to zero!

Captain Ajax, like Jovic, ran to Yang Yang to celebrate after scoring a goal.

Obviously, they are using this method to support Yang Yang.

At this moment, everyone knows that the possibility of a standard Liege overturn is getting smaller and smaller, unless Ajax still plays badly in the second half like the first round, and the opponent has pulled two goals in a row.

What surprised Prudholm was that Yang Yang did not give him such a chance this time.

Only one minute from the start of the second half, when Standard Liege tried to attack, after being intercepted by Ajax, the left rib quickly advanced to form a single pole, and once again broke the standard Liege goal, three to zero!

Steady!

All Ajax fans cheered the audience.

But the Ajax players on the court still refuse to slack off and are still trying to create opportunities.

In the 67th minute, it was Ajax's frontcourt goal again. Ndongbele then passed Sancho's right pass from the front of the penalty area and suddenly passed to the left rib. Vanderbeck quickly inserted. After the ball was stopped, the shot was calmly pushed, four to zero!

Yang Yang laughed nonstop on the sidelines, cheering hard for his players.

This feeling is really happier and more enjoyable than playing a game on his own, or even performing a hat trick.

Because he knew that after a month, this team finally began to slowly play the football he wanted.

As for the standard Liege ...

The man ’s husband said that if he scored four goals, he would score at least four!
