"We made a couple of very serious mistakes!"

In the post-match press conference, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger summed up the game that had just ended, and his expression looked very lonely.

Because his team just lost.

Two-to-one, international convention, the home team in front, the away team in the back.

It was only in the final minutes that Arsenal burst into the middle of the box through Ljungberg and calmly scored.

But that doesn't change the end of the game.

Ajax defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home with Yang Yang's pass and shot.

Due to the other game in the same group, Switzerland's Thun defeated Sparta Prague 1-0 at home, and finally Ajax got four points with a record of two games, one win and one draw, and ranked first in the group standings.

Arsene Wenger believes the team's biggest problem is that they have made too many mistakes, which is Arsenal's worst problem so far this season, and it is also very undeserved.

'You can't make mistakes at this level of play, but it's a shame that we made more than one serious defensive mistake and it was a terrible blow for us to lose the game.

Arsene Wenger believes that Ajax's defense did a good job in this game, Arsenal struggled to find a breakthrough, and there were many shots on goal, but in fact more came from long-range shots, and there were not many opportunities to get feet in the box where there was a real threat.

'From the whole game, we had a lot more time on the ball than our opponents, we were obviously better and we took the initiative in the game, but we weren't effective enough in terms of conversion on the ball, we didn't put enough pressure on the opposition in attack.

"To put it simply, we need to make us more aggressive, more concise and more efficient."

However, Arsene Wenger acknowledges that this has been a problem for the team all the time this season, but does not believe it has anything to do with the departure of Patrick Vieira, as he has always believed that the team has young players like Cesc Fabregas and Flamini.

'Sometimes there is no way to make a similar comparison in football, Patrick Vieira is one type of player, but Cesc Fabregas is another type of player and I always believe that it is a very wise choice to fill the void of Vieira's departure.

'He's very young, only 17 years old, which gives us a lot of potential as a team and all we need to do is get the most out of it.'

As for the media reporter's question, why he did not go to Ljungberg earlier, Wenger said that because the Swedes played hard, and Hleb also performed well, especially in the early stages of the first half, Hleb played very threatening on the right side.

For Yang Yang's performance, Wenger gave a very high evaluation.

'In fact, I've been keeping a close eye on him since two years ago and he's improving very quickly, one step at a time, so to speak, and now he's trying to prove to everyone that he's capable and I'm sure he's going to be one of the best players in European football.'

Wenger also took the initiative to mention that after the Champions League round of 16 knockout two years ago, he once thought about buying Yang Yang.

'At the time I and the coaching staff and the scouting team thought he was an incredible player, but at the same time, we all thought that he wasn't good enough, he had a sharp way to break down the wings, but there were a lot of things that weren't good enough, like his stoppings, his passing, etc.......

"In the end, we came to the conclusion that he should continue to stay at Ajax to grow and improve, but we have been keeping a close eye on him, but no one expected that Ajax would eventually win the Champions League, and Yang Yang also became famous, and last season ushered in explosive growth......

Arsene Wenger said this with some remorse on his face, "But I'm glad to see that Yang Yang has gone his own way, he is ushering in the rapid development of his career, and I believe he is, and has even become one of the best players in European football." ”

This is the second time Wenger has used the adjective "best" to describe Yang Yang, which surprised all the media reporters present.

Everyone can clearly feel Wenger's recognition of Yang Yang in his heart.

After beating Liverpool twice in the UEFA Super Cup and beating Arsenal with another pass and shot in the group stage, Yang Yang has twice proved his strength with ironclad facts this season.

Although it is in the Champions League, all fans are still paying more attention to the strong dialogue.

Few people will remember that Yang Yang had an assist when he played Sparta Prague, and no one will remember that Yang Yang has scored nine goals and five assists in the Eredivisie, and he is ranked first in the Eredivisie in terms of goals and assists.

But all fans around the world will remember his brace against Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup, his pass and shot against Arsenal in the group stage, and he was voted Man of the Match in both games.

That's the impact of the Champions League!

……

For the game, Ronald Coman praised Yang Yang and the players, especially mentioning Yang Yang's responsibility as the captain of the team, and it is very admirable to be able to stand up at critical moments.

'Maybe a lot of people don't notice that he's the youngest captain ever to captain in the Champions League.

When the head coach of Ajax touted Yang Yang, he did not forget to provide media reporters with a new hype material.

Interestingly, before Yang Yang, the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League was also from Ajax, that is, Van der Vaart, who was exactly 20 years and 217 days old when he took over as captain in 03.

Now, Yang Yang has pushed Van der Vaart's record forward again, and his new record is 18 years and 324 days, which coincides with Ajax's away game against Sparta Prague.

Small teams are like this, except for the Dutch domestic media and UEFA, few people have paid attention to Yang Yang's new record, but at this moment, as soon as Ronald Koeman said it, the entire press conference hall was in an uproar.

It's definitely another big hype.

The Ajax boss also said that if it wasn't for the referee's misjudgment, Ajax should have scored in the first half.

'It was a very obvious, unquestionable handball, it was supposed to be a penalty, our players appealed, but the referee still upheld the decision, and I believe everyone should have seen that it was a wrong decision.'

As for the penalty mentioned by Ronald Koeman, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he did not see it.

'I didn't notice if it was a handball at the time, but I think the referee made the decision that seemed to him the wisest at the time, and my player didn't consciously open his arms and shouldn't have been sentenced to death.

That should be the only disagreement between Arsene Wenger and Ronald Koeman at the press conference.

…………

…………

Arsenal's 2-1 defeat away to Ajax was not a disaster.

In fact, as early as before the game, many European media believed that Ajax was not without opportunities, because Arsenal did have a lot of problems this season, especially since the start of the three away games.

What's more, Ajax is not a weak team.

In the past three seasons, Ajax won the Champions League quarter-finals and the Champions League in the first two seasons, and last season won the UEFA Cup, although the Champions League ended in the group stage.

It can be said that Ajax's achievements in the past three years have been incomparably brilliant and quite brilliant.

For this game, the world's major media reports have focused on two points.

One of them is that the departure of Patrick Vieira has led to a decline in Arsenal's midfield, which in turn has caused the Gunners' results to fluctuate dramatically this season, and everyone believes that although Wenger does not admit it, Vieira is indeed Arsenal's worst loss.

But in contrast, all the media and fans are more focused on another point.

That is Yang Yang of Ajax.

With one pass and one shot, he was elected the best player of the match, and was able to lead Ajax to defeat Arsenal as the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League, Yang Yang's performance was recognized by all the media and fans.

There are even many people who have expressed their expectation of seeing Ajax go further.

The British Sun even published the news on the front page that Wenger regretted not buying Yang Yang two years ago, and then published another ridiculous report, saying that Wenger would not go it alone.

"I believe that after watching Yang Yang's outstanding performance this season, not only Wenger regretted not being at the beginning, but also Liverpool's Benitez, Chelsea's Jose Mourinho and Manchester United's Ferguson."

"These four strong teams were once full of interest in Yang Yang, but they didn't make up their minds, and now after watching Yang Yang's outstanding performance this season, they have to look at their pockets with distress and regret it."

And the same sighs were made by the media from Spain.

The better Yang Yang's performance, the more uncomfortable the Spanish media will be, because this summer, everyone is looking forward to Yang Yang's transfer to Barcelona or Real Madrid, and even once there was news that Barcelona was going to sell Messi and bring in Yang Yang.

Even the newspapers in Catalonia have broken the news that Messi is only one step away from joining Inter Milan, and as long as Messi is sold, Yang Yang will have no obstacle to enter the Camp Nou, and even Ronaldinho welcomes Yang Yang's joining.

But in the end, Barcelona kept Messi when they were on the verge of the goal, and Cruyff publicly bombarded Barcelona, believing that the team spent 40 million euros to bring in an 18-year-old player, which was simply a crazy gamble.

"I believe that now, Laporta has regretted it in his heart, because now 40 million euros can no longer buy Yang Yang."

Marca and Ace also believe that Real Madrid have missed their biggest signing of the summer, with Florentino missing the last chance to curry favor with club members and Real Madrid fans.

This is also a regretful regret for Florentino, whose chairmanship is already in turmoil.
