Super Storm

After all the matches in the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, UEFA will immediately draw a draw for the play-offs.

The twelve teams participating in the play-offs will be divided into six matches, and the winner will advance to the Champions League group stage.

The teams participating in the play-offs are not weak, including Benfica in the Portuguese Super League, Athens in Greece, Dynamo in Zagreb, Croatia, Dynamo in Kiev, Ukraine, etc. are all famous European powerhouses, whether it is Whoever draws it is destined to be a hard fight.

Ajax eventually drew Dynamo Kiev from Ukraine, which is also a hard stubble.

In the third round, Dynamo Kiev defeated Czech Slavia Prague one-on-one at home and two-to-zero at home, showing a strong strength, which will also become a problem for Ajax .

Since Dynamo Kiev is about to usher in the middle of the week, Yang Yang once again arranged a substantial rotation in the Dutch League.

On the evening of August 18th, in the second round of the Dutch League, Ajax challenged Venlo away.

Last season's thrilling relegation made many people think that Venlo will still be a big hit for this season's relegation, but unexpectedly, this team defeated William II 1-0 in the first round of the game and won three Minute.

In the second round, Ajax was ushered in at home. Venlo naturally wanted to continue the performance of the first round, especially now that Ajax is busy with the European War and has no time to distract from the domestic league.

No matter Ajax, Eindhoven, European War is their most important arena.

Both sides are based on the traditional Dutch three-three-three formation.

Yang Yang has rotated eight players this time, including captain Driecht. The captain's armband was worn on Feltman's arm, and the game was very hard.

Ajax's high-end pressure and the excellent midfielder's pass and possession, grabbed up to 75% of the ball control rate, which can be said to be a complete crush on Venlo, even in the conversion rate. .

Ajax shot 21 times in the whole game and scored 12 goals. The efficiency is not bad, but he failed to score.

Yang Yang sits in front of the bench throughout the game, and obviously does not intend to play.

He believes that the players are playing well, the overall performance of the team is also very good, the pass success rate has reached 90%, which shows that Ajax has done quite well in terms of tactics and player execution.

The only problem is that Ajax lacks any luck to score tonight.

Or it can be said that the opponent's goalkeeper, Honestal, performed quite well.

The 28-year-old German goalkeeper debuted at Schalke 04, and then turned around a number of teams. Finally he came to the Netherlands and joined Venlo. After only one season, he was valued by Eindhoven and bought After coming down, rent it back to Venlo.

And tonight, he is the number one enemy Ajax scored.

But Yang Yang still does not plan to play because he believes that this is also a valuable exercise opportunity for Ajax players.

Young players still need to experience some setbacks before they can grow up quickly.

But when Yang Yang was mentally prepared for an away draw, the course suddenly changed.

When the game reached the eighty-eighth minute, Right Luns suddenly took the ball to break through, forcibly broke into the penalty area, and tried to send the ball to the goal in front of the goal to his teammate Boadu, but Venlo's left defender Jansen foul , Stumbled Stens into the penalty area.

The referee gave a penalty without hesitation.

At this time, the fans at home will not do, but everyone can see that this is a penalty without any doubt.

Mullen personally took the penalty kick and made a solid shot to score a goal for Ajax.

In the end, the team beat Venlo one to zero away.

Yang Yang praised Stens in the locker room after the game.

This 19-year-old teenager has a strong breakthrough ability. This season's performance has also been greatly improved than last season. Especially in the last two rounds of the league, Yang Yang has let him take the lead. He also performed well. point.

Especially when playing Venlo tonight, at the critical moment, the right-hand dribble formed a pass. Although it was fouled by the opponent's Janssen, if there was no foul, it would definitely be a beautiful assist.

Mullen's style is a bit like Henry. It is said that he also received Henry's one-on-one training during the Arsenal youth camp. Boadu is more like a front-end killer, but still relatively young.

After two trials, Yang Yang also found that Boadu still does not have the main force for the time being. The best option is to substitute. Mullen and Stens can be the main force of the Dutch League. This will be Ajac An important addition this season.

Of course, Boadu is also the youngest of the three players, only 17 years old.

Yang Yang will make adjustments to the lineup next, Boadu is still more than a substitute, several players in the frontcourt are rotated, after all, Mullen can also be qualified for the center position, Stens can play in three positions from left to right, very comprehensive.

In order to support the battle, Yang Yang has always believed that he should examine the players in the official game.

Who knows who can do it, just pull it out and play a few games.

Ajax beat Venlo one-on-one and won with no surprises.

After winning six points in the two games, the league ranking rose to third place, behind Alkmaar and Eindhoven.

Alkmaar beat Breda five to zero in the first round, and beat Emmon four to one in the second round. They performed very well, and Eindhoven won this round after winning four to zero. They defeated Fortuna Sittard 2-1 away.

With the youngest team in the Dutch average, keeping the Champions League and the Dutch league in parallel, Yang Yang's coaching started four official games, and three wins and one draw remained undefeated, which is quite good.

On the evening of August 22, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off, Ajax played against Dynamo Kiev.

Yang Yang once again sacrificed a four-three-three double-waist formation. The main lineup was basically the same as the standard against Liège, but the difference was that Ajax made a big attack after the opening.

In just two minutes, Neres created a chance with the ball on the left, assisting Van der Beck and scoring a goal to set the first record for Ajax.

However, in the fifteenth minute, Dynamo Kiev took advantage of a corner kick and was assisted by a right-back from the centre-back to score a goal. This was the first time since Ajax lost the ball in the last three games. .

Then Ajax continued to control the game, still taking a high position to snatch, firmly suppressing Dynamo Kiev.

In the thirty-fifth minute, Ajax launched an attack on the left. After Jovic pulled out of the penalty area and made a sudden insertion, Neres tried to send the ball to Jovic's foot, but was blocked by the opposing center. .

The ball landed on the right side of the penalty area. Sancho didn't wait for the ball. He ushered the ball directly into the goal and sent the ball into the opponent's goal. For Ajax, he went to the next city and exceeded the score again. One!

Sancho was also inexplicably excited after scoring a goal, the whole person rushed out of the court, celebrating frantically.

"This kid has unlimited potential." Yang Yang praised with a smile.

Sancho doesn't look like an 18-year-old teenager. He really plays very well and has a strength that is better than his peers.

Even from the performance point of view, the 18-year-old Sancho did not lose to Neres on the left.

"Nerez, Jovic and Sancho, if this set of striker is really polished, it will be quite amazing." Xavi Alonso admired Yang Yang's vision very much, these few people are all treasures.

Without saying anything else, even if it were to be sold, it would certainly be able to sell at a high price, and Ajax made a profit.

Yang Yang thought so, but they are still young and need to continue to exercise, continue to grow and progress.

Today's training of young players is already like an industrial assembly line operation. The teenagers who can stand out from the youth training camp have excellent strengths. Then Yang Yang needs to find a suitable development route for them.

The direction is right, then the speed of progress is one step at a time.

Near the end of the first half, Taliafico assisted Neres to score a goal, helping Ajax basically lock the victory.

In the end, Ajax defeated Dynamo Kyiv at home with goals from Van der Baker, Sancho and Neres.

The opponent was given an away goal, but scored three goals. From this point of view, Ajax is highly likely to advance.

However, in the locker room after the game, Yang Yang still warned players to be arrogant and restless.

On the 25th of August, in the third round of the Dutch League, Ajax played against Emmen.

This team, which has just been beaten by Alkmaar at home four to one, played more securely as a guest at Cruyff Stadium, taking a four-for-two formation, but Ajax is obviously not a reasonable team.

Yang Yang won Boadu in this game, making the UEFA Champions League play-off failed to score. Depressed Jovic, the Serbian center opened the goal only eight minutes and assisted Mullen scored a goal.

Ten minutes later, Stens assisted Ashraf and went to the next city. The Moroccan international scored from the right rib into the penalty area and scored his first goal after joining Ajax.

During the celebration, Ashraf also gave the goal to Yang Yang, and ran to the sidelines to celebrate with him.

In the thirty-eighth minute, Jovic, who had failed to score a few times, finally harvested the goal. He used a wonderful shot from near the penalty spot to break through the goal of Emmon and lock the score to three. Than zero.

After the easy side battle, Edego took the ball in the middle of the fifty-ninth minute and sent out a straight. Jovic fooled the goalkeeper and hit the shot. The score was scored twice, and the score was further expanded. zero.

In the seventy-first minute, Mullen went to the next city and expanded the score to five to zero.

In the eighty-sixth minute, Boadu, who came off the bench, shot angrily, hitting the opponent's midfielder Glenn, refracting into the goal and turning into an own goal.

In the end, Ajax beat Emmon 6-0 at home, Jovic has two shots and one pass and was elected the best player of the game.

The Serbian center has become the player with the best performance and most goals so far this season.

As Eindhoven beat Zwolle 2-1 away, Alkmaar drew Witus at home, Ajax's six-to-zero victory allowed the team to reach the top, occupying the top spot in the Dutch League. position.

But three days later, Yang Yang and his team faced a head-on in the game against Dynamo Kiev.
