138 A glimmer of life [100 monthly pass plus change, ask for a subscription monthly pass]
After the substitutions were made, the game quickly resumed.
The order to be brought on the field by Yang Yang was quickly carried out by the Ajax players, and everyone barely managed to stabilize their minds in the panic.
And Ajax soon made a second substitution, with Galasek replacing Pienaar and pushing captain Donny van der Vaart to the left winger, leaving Galasek and De Jong in a back two.
After the serious injury, Van der Vaart no longer has razor-sharp speed, but his awareness and technique are still quite good.
After the first leg of Arsenal's match, he reached out to Ronald Koeman and promised to do everything in his power to play for the team, while the manager promised to give him more trust and freedom.
This time, Ronald Koeman replaced Pienal, leaving Van der Vaart.
Two successive substitutions made it clear to all the Ajax players on the pitch what the manager intended.
Steady your defense and counterattack quickly.
Ronald Koeman's illustrious career is incomparably highest, and he is known as the best goal-scoring centre-back, which has given him his own unique understanding of professional football, and after retiring from football, he has successively studied under two managers with strong personal styles, Hius Hiddink and Louis van Gaal, two managers with extremely strong personal styles, which has greatly improved Koeman's coaching ability.
Even when he encountered a crisis of confidence, the outside world's doubts about him were more on his spot.
He has just entered the age of not being confused, he is a well-known young coach in European football, and he is naturally not as experienced as the old coaches, but it is difficult for anyone to criticize the Ajax team he has trained.
Reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons is the best proof of this.
From Almere to Ajax, from the youth team to the first team, Yang Yang has greatly broadened his horizons at every step, and also allowed him to see the wider world of football and learn more things.
It was only after entering the first team that he really felt his transformation from an amateur to a professional.
He has gained a wealth of technical and tactical knowledge from Ronald Koeman and the coaching staff, as well as the entire technical and tactical system of the first team, which not only greatly improves his ability to play on the pitch, but also greatly strengthens his personal technical and tactical literacy, which will be of great benefit to his future development.
The same is clearly true of the rest of Ajax's first team.
So, when Ronald Coman waved his hand on the sidelines, asking everyone to tighten up their defence and press hard for Real Madrid, every Ajax player knew exactly what to do.
One person is ineffective, but ten people working together to do an organized robbery is very effective.
Even if it is as strong as Real Madrid, in the final stage of the second half of the game, they have to suffer under the overall pressing and pressure of Ajax, and there are frequent mistakes in passing and receiving, and there are almost threatening counterattack opportunities.
…………
…………
Yang Yang kept running and pressing in the midfield, and as soon as Raul Bravo got the ball, he immediately pressed forward to interfere, forcing him to pass the ball immediately.
He could clearly feel that after the two substitutions in a row, the team worked together and the situation on the field changed again.
The more intuitive change is that Ajax's pressing has played a role, Real Madrid's players do not run much, and there are frequent mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, giving Ajax the opportunity to counterattack.
But Yang Yang understood that this was just an illusion, and he vaguely figured out something, but he couldn't grasp it.
Since it was a race, he didn't continue to explore, but concentrated on running the vacancy.
Real Madrid's frontcourt superstars are all non-defensive, after Queiroz replaced Borja, only Beckham and Borja are really involved in the front of the back, captain Raul runs very actively, and occasionally returns to defend.
But this is clearly not enough.
As long as his team broke the ball and wanted to counterattack, Yang Yang immediately ran away to respond, but unfortunately, his teammates either didn't notice him, or they couldn't see the pass, and there was another pass over, the quality was not high, Yang Yang failed to stop the ball and made a mistake.
Time is running out, but the Ajax players are still pressing and pressing.
Every player has a heavy sense of guilt, they don't need to be said, they know it.
The first half went smoothly and the lead by that goal blinded them and made them a little blind, so that they were stunned by their opponents at the beginning of the second half, 1-4, it was a complete fiasco, and they needed to make up for it.
Yang Yang is also running non-stop, and he believes that his teammates will definitely pass the ball to his feet.
And he will do everything he can to get the ball up front for Ibrahimovic, and he believes that the Swedish centre-forward will be able to get it in.
As long as they can pull one goal back, 2-4, Ajax at least retains a chance of life.
Even if it's just a theoretical hope.
In the 86th minute, Ajax played a quick counter-attack on the left, Van der Vaart got a chance in the box, Maxwell's cross from the left found the Ajax captain in the box accurately, and Van der Vaart's subsequent header went straight to Casillas.
Headers are really not Van der Vaart's forte.
The captain of Ajax let out a frustrated roar and turned back without forgetting to give a thumbs up to his team-mate.
Everyone knew that if it had turned into Wesley Sonck, it might have gone in.
Yang Yang on the right exhaled helplessly and ran back quickly.
Sometimes the opportunity is like this, Ibrahimovic is the high point, the opponent will be closely marked, Maxwell may not have a chance to pass even if he wants to, and he is forced to find Van der Vaart.
But as a result, Van der Vaart's shooting angle is not large, the central defender Elgra is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Salgado is a well-known fierce general, and Van der Vaart can get the opportunity to get a header and try his best.
Real Madrid kicked the ball straight forward with a big foot and sent it to the front.
Escud beat Ronaldo to grab the first drop and pushed the ball back.
There was a scramble between the two sides in midfield.
Real Madrid's 4231 seems to have the advantage in midfield, but in fact, only Beckham, Borha and Raul are involved in the pressing, and Zidane and Figo are more likely to stay on the wing and wait for opportunities.
This made the midfielders of both sides equal, and even with Yang Yang and Van der Vaart actively returning to defend, Ajax had the advantage in numbers and quickly grabbed the ball again.
Sneijder got the ball and quickly slotted it to the right.
Yang Yang started quickly from the midfield and chased the ball.
Sneijder and Yang Yang are more and more tacit, he knows very well what kind of ball Yang Yang likes, this kick is also just right, just passed to Yang Yang's step, so that he can continue to move forward very comfortably after receiving the ball, directly facing Raul Bravo.
Real Madrid's left full-back has been playing for more than 80 minutes, but he directly faced Yang Yang who came on as a substitute, one-on-one, but it was the first time, he knew the opponent's reputation very well, and knew Yang Yang's good play, so he retreated again and again.
But after Yang Yang received the ball and stabilized his pace, he directly sped up and quickly narrowed the distance between himself and Bravo, which surprised Real Madrid's left fullback, and instinctively reacted that he had no way to retreat, so he could only grab.
At this time, Yang Yang's right shoulder sank, and it seemed that he was about to break through from the outside, inducing Raul Bravo to quickly make a blocking action, but suddenly, Yang Yang's whole body flickered, and Bravo felt that the figure in front of him was a flower, and he turned out to be moving inward.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, in a very short period of time, Yang Yang's continuous feints made Raul Bravo misjudge, and when he wanted to shift his center of gravity again and block Yang Yang's inward cut, he suddenly felt a pain in his left foot, and the whole person lost his balance and fell crooked on the grass, watching Yang Yang disappear.
Yang Yang just shook Raul Bravo, quickly dribbled the ball straight to Real Madrid's penalty area, and without waiting for Borja to come forward to block, he directly crossed the ball with a curve and hoisted the ball into the Real Madrid penalty area.
Ibrahimovic understood it and rushed forward as fast as he could, leaping high before Mejía and stopping Yang Yang's cross in front of him with his chest.
Mejía, who has been blocked by the Swedish center, desperately stepped forward, trying to block the Swedish center with his body, but he was depressed to find that the other party was like a mountain, and he couldn't push it no matter how he pushed it, so he could only desperately stretch out his foot, hoping to hook the ball.
However, Ibrahimovic is tall and long-legged, and when he stopped the ball on his chest, he had already prepared the next step, and even if Mejía stretched his legs as much as possible, he couldn't reach the ball at all, but the Swedish center didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and directly volleyed with his right foot.
Casillas moved to the right, but the Swedish centre-forward's shot was directed towards the bottom left corner, leaving the Real Madrid goalkeeper powerless to stop the ball from going into the net even if they reacted immediately.
Two to four!
Ibrahimovic clenched his fists and stood there with a roar.
Yang Yang quickly plugged in from behind, and the whole person jumped on Ibrahimovic's back, but instead of celebrating with the Swedish center, he shouted loudly in his ear: "There is still time, we still have a chance!" ”
He has a very strong premonition that as long as he continues at the current pace, he will still be able to score.
He couldn't explain the hunch, but it was there.
The Swedish center who reacted immediately sobered up, and Yang Yang jumped directly from his back, quickly rushed to the goal, picked up the ball and turned to run.
But at this time, the referee suddenly blew the whistle and signaled Real Madrid's team doctor and stretcher to enter.
Yang Yang, who had just put the ball in the center circle and was waiting for the Real Madrid players to come over to kick off, noticed that Raul Bravo, who had been shaken down by himself just now, had never stood up again, and was grabbing his left leg with a very painful expression.
He's hurt.
Yang Yang stretched out his hand to wipe his sweaty face, and raised his head helplessly.
What an opportunity!
How did you get hurt?
