362 Trust me! [Vomiting blood for the fourth shift, begging for a monthly pass]
'Ajax still played the ball to the right.
"Give it to Yang Yang!"
"Yang Yang started quickly, smashed the ball and changed direction, and cut in!"
"Beautiful!"
……
Beep!
With the referee's whistle, Ashley Cole got up from the grass out of breath.
Yang Yang was still lying beside him, uninjured, but he looked excited.
Damn boy!
Ashley Cole cursed in his heart and slowly stepped back.
At the last moment of the first half, Yang Yang suddenly cut into the penalty area against offside and even shook off goalkeeper Almunia.
Had it not been for the late moments, Kolo Toure blocked his shot with his body and a defence that was suspected of being handball, and Ajax would have scored.
It was a serious mistake that led to Ashley Cole and Campbell being harshly criticized by Arsene Wenger at half-time, and the professor clearly couldn't accept such a mistake in the team's backline.
Ashley Cole was also holding back his anger in his heart.
After the second half of Yibian fought again, less than two minutes into the beginning, seeing that Yang Yang got a one-on-one opportunity, he suddenly smashed the ball and cut inside, he was anxious and immediately committed a decisive foul.
The Spanish referee quickly ran over and raised a yellow card towards Ashley Cole to give him a warning.
The Arsenal left-back slowly stepped back, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Yang Yang, who was pulled up from the ground by McConn, and he was very emotional, he still clearly remembered that two years ago, this kid had just debuted.
In the Champions League round of 16 knockout round two years ago, Yang Yang scored the first Champions League goal of his career against Arsenal, breaking the record for the youngest goalscorer in the Champions League, and then helped Ajax eliminate Arsenal.
At that time, he had just turned seventeen, and he was just a fledgling boy with little fame.
But two years later, the two teams met again, and he was already the star of Ajax, the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, the best player in the UEFA Cup, and also broke Ronaldo's goal record in the Eredivisie.
In tonight's game, he was also quite brave and obviously in very good form.
He was on the run the whole game, constantly looking for opportunities, which made it extremely difficult for Ashley Cole, who defended him.
It didn't feel like defending an eighteen-year-old at all, but more like defending one of Europe's top wingers.
Even Manchester United's Portuguese genius Cristiano Ronaldo, who is favored by countless people, or Chelsea's talented magic wing Arjen Robben, have failed to put such a huge pressure on Ashley Cole.
But this boy, who is not yet nineteen years old, is so difficult.
…………
…………
Arsene Wenger kept calling for his players to set up on the sidelines.
Ajax were given a set-piece opportunity on the right side of midfield, which was a dangerous position.
Ashley Cole had clearly lost his position and was forced to foul.
Arsene Wenger couldn't complain about his left wing-back, and despite the unhappy Ashley Cole affair with the club over his move to Chelsea, Wenger believes the left wing-back did his best in defending this time.
It can only be said that Yang Yang's sudden start with the ball just now, and the subsequent change of direction of the ball, were too fast!
"It's amazing how fast this kid is improving!" Assistant coach Pat Rice shook his head and sighed.
He still clearly remembers that after that game two years ago, Wenger had the idea of poaching Ajax and getting Yang Yang.
At that time, Yang Yang had already emerged and showed a surprising side, but the advantages and disadvantages were very obvious.
Young people are like that, with both advantages and disadvantages.
But now it seems that Yang Yang's progress is too fast and too fast.
In two years, he was like a rocket, quickly making up for his shortcomings and shortcomings, and at the same time constantly improving his advantages, whether it was an assault with the ball or a change of direction just now, it left an extremely deep impression.
Now Yang Yang has faintly possessed the strength and bearing of a European first-line star, especially now, looking at the general style when he directs his teammates on the field to arrange set-piece tactics, it is really hard to imagine that he is not yet 19 years old.
"We should have bought him in '04." Wenger said with remorse.
This surprised Pat Rice a little.
Arsene Wenger admitted that he made a mistake and regretted it?
You must know that even Ibrahimovic scored Arsenal's goal twice, Wenger never said that he made a mistake, and even in an interview with the media, he repeatedly said that it was the right decision not to sign Ibrahimovic.
"Because we have Henry!"
And before this game, many people also asked Wenger about Yaya Toure.
The Ivory Coast midfielder has played quite well for Ajax this season, while Arsenal have been unbalanced in midfield due to the loss of Patrick Vieira, but Arsene Wenger's response to this was also very generous, congratulating Yaya Toure on the one hand, but also saying that even now, Yaya Toure is difficult to find opportunities at Arsenal.
'In the same position, we have young players like Cesc Fabregas and Flamini.
But now, Wenger actually admitted that it was a mistake that he did not poach Yang Yang, as the most familiar with Wenger, Pat Rice naturally knows very well, which in itself proves how much Wenger regrets in his heart.
What's more, Reyes, who was heavily introduced, has been a bit disappointing.
Time has passed, one time and another.
Two years ago, he did not take the opportunity to poach Yang Yang, and two years later, Yang Yang's value has made Arsenal unable to afford it.
"Ashley has a yellow card, and then Ajax will definitely use Yang Yang to attack our left side, so that Pire can retreat a little more appropriately to help defend Ashley." Arsene Wenger arranged.
And just as he spoke, on the court, Yang Yang took a high-level set-piece.
…………
…………
'Ajax takes a free-kick.'
"Yang Yang's right-footed curling ball is crossed to the penalty area!"
"There is a leak in the middle lane!"
"Vermaelen grabs the first drop and heads the goal!"
……
Only a thud was heard at the scene, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the box.
All the Ajax fans in the stadium let out an exclamation of surprise, followed by a sigh of disappointment.
"What a pity!"
'The Belgian centre-back's header hit the crossbar.
"Ajax's set-piece attack this time is very thoughtful, Yang Yang's penalty kick level is very high, the landing point is also quite accurate, Vermaelen quickly inserted a header to hit the goal, and the whole set-piece coordination is very beautiful."
"But alas, it's still a little worse."
"Yang Yang is still the most dangerous player on the pitch for Ajax, and Arsenal are clearly interested in strengthening their defence against Yang Yang's active left flank."
…………
…………
In this wave of attacks after the opening of the second half, Ajax played their own morale and rhythm.
Yang Yang soon got another chance on the right flank.
Mai Kong made a direct pass, Yang Yang retreated, turned around when he stopped the ball, and dribbled the ball diagonally into the front of the penalty area.
Pire wrapped himself tightly around Yang, but McCone quickly stepped in to distract Yang from the defence, and Ashley Cole was forced to follow the Brazilian right wing-back.
Yang Yang suddenly accelerated, used his speed to shake off Pire's entanglement with the ball, and went straight to the penalty area with the ball.
This made Gilberto Silva stunned and rushed over quickly to help the defense.
But Yang Yang's speed did not decrease, and he rushed directly into the penalty area with great courage, which made the Brazilian back very passive, and he never found a chance to get his feet, and the closer he got to the penalty area, the more he dared not make easy moves, so he could only keep retreating.
But just as he retreated into the penalty area, Yang Yang spotted an opportunity and suddenly flicked the ball horizontally.
The ball crossed between Gilberto Silva and Pire, and Sneijder cut in quickly and hit it with his right foot!
"Yang Yang's Horizontal Biography ......"
"Sneijder hits the door!"
The ball flew towards the goal at great speed, but slightly grazed the post and went off the line.
Sneijder knelt at the edge of Arsenal's penalty area, remorseful.
He's in a hurry!
He has been waiting for the opportunity, he has been waiting for Yang Yang to pass the ball, and he has always believed that Yang Yang can pass the ball.
And in fact, Yang Yang also came out.
But when the opportunity came, he was in a hurry.
The Ajax fans in the stands let out another sigh of disappointment, but were soon applauded.
Many fans are chanting Yang Yang's name, and some are shouting Sneijder.
'The Ajax fans are in solidarity with their players.
'At the start of the second half, Ajax played their own attack and played well.
"Yang Yang, in particular, is extremely active and creates opportunities for his teammates, but unfortunately, the Ajax players still lack the ability to grasp opportunities."
Yang Yang sprinted twenty meters with the ball just now, and the consumption was also very large.
On the football field, the biggest consumption is this kind of fast sprint, Yang Yang can only perform more than 30 times at most, and after each fast sprint, he needs a little time to slow down.
He knows first-hand what Ronaldo said to the media that he doesn't get involved in defending, in order to have enough energy to sprint when attacking.
Yang Yang's physical fitness is good, but in the end he is still relatively young, and his body is far from reaching his peak state.
"It's okay." Yang Yang walked over, pulled Sneijder up, and encouraged, "It's okay, Wesley, I'll pass the ball again and try to catch it next time." ”
Sneijder turned around and hugged Yang Yang, his heart full of apologies.
This was an opportunity that Yang Yang had won with great difficulty, but he wasted it.
Sometimes, in a game, such an opportunity can not be repeated, and if it is wasted, it may not appear again.
"Trust me!" Yang Yang applauded vigorously, "Let's work harder, the goal will definitely come!" ”
Yang Yang's loud appeal attracted the attention and even hostility of the Arsenal players.
But so what?
This is the Amsterdam Arena.
As long as you can get rid of Arsenal, even if you are hated by the opponent's players, it is a very happy thing.
As Ibrahimovic said, the coolest thing is to score a goal right under the noses of the opposing fans, and the boos of the opponents are the best tribute.
Ajax want to score, it's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy.
Yang Yang is to help Ajax score goals under the watchful eyes of the Arsenal players!
