After playing Utrecht, Wei Zhen asked Yang Yang what his biggest gain was in two consecutive first-team games?

Yang Yang's answer is just two words, confidence.

It's a very ethereal feeling, but it plays a pivotal role on the football field.

When he came on in the final minutes against Club Brugge, Yang Yang didn't think too much about it, he didn't even think about whether he could bargain for Van der Heiden, his only thought was to do his best to win the game.

Van Gaal treats him as his most trusted friend, and he will return the favor.

The final result surprised even Yang Yang himself, and even he didn't expect that he would be able to create such a threat when facing Van der Heiden.

During the review in the super training ground after the game, Lao Bing told Yang Yang that he could actually do better.

And Yang Yang also knows very well that he took advantage of Van der Hayden when he came on as a substitute, but so what?

Then in the Eredivisie against Utrecht, Ronald Koeman continued to substitute Yang Yang, and he quickly set up a goal for Van der Vaart, and then created several threats on the right flank, but unfortunately Ibrahimovic and Wesley Sonk failed to take advantage of the opportunity.

Etienne Xu, who was on his right foot, couldn't stop Yang Yang at all after consuming more than seventy minutes.

Both games were substitute appearances, and Yang Yang performed very well to save the team, which not only made his status in the Ajax team gradually improve and became more and more important in the hearts of the fans, but also made him more and more confident in himself.

Strong self-confidence allows him to dare to face his opponents directly on the court and dare to make moves.

It's like at this moment, at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, facing Breda left wing-back Adrian Balakat.

…………

…………

It was the knockout round of 16 of the Dutch Cup and Ajax's first Dutch Cup game of the season.

A day earlier, Van Basten's Ajax II lost 1-0 away to FC Twente, Yang Yang did not play this game, but Vermaelen returned to the second team to play the whole game, and the Belgian centre-back was very eye-catching, but in the end could not prevent FC from scoring.

With the loss of Yang Yang, the attacking threat of Ajax II has been greatly reduced.

The defeat of the second team made all fans pin their hopes on the first team, but the opponent Breda was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the fifth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax took on Breda away with a four-game winning streak, only to lose 2-4 on the road, which was Ronald Koeman's first crisis of confidence this season.

Breda are a team in the Eredivisie that are inextricably linked to Ajax, with a number of players coming from the Ajax Academy, such as Nurdini Buhari, Stefano Seedorf and left wing-back Adrian Balacut, who started tonight at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.

Among them, Buhari and Seedorf were both on loan from Ajax this summer, while Balakaat moved to Breda on a free transfer from the Academy in '02, but the player, who had always played as a left winger, was forced to switch to left wing-back in order to play more games.

Interestingly, it was precisely these Ajax academy players who worked very hard at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium and pushed Ajax into a desperate situation.

In the 54th minute, through a sharp counterattack, Breda striker Ali Busaben broke through Robonte's goal.

Ronald Koeman made a quick substitution, with Van der Vaart coming on for Oberday.

However, Griguera, who started the game at right wing-back, was injured, forcing Ronald Koeman to make a second substitution urgently, bringing on Yakubu at right wing-back.

After two successive substitutions in a short period of time, Ajax's attack did not improve in the slightest.

Breda's head coach Don Lockhoff also made quick adjustments, further strengthening the defense in the midfield and backfield, focusing on the counter-attack.

Seventy-five minutes later, the Ajax attack was still not improving, and the stands at the Amsterdam Arena were already booed by the fans, who were very unhappy with the performance of the players on the field.

Ronald Koeman is also well aware that the 4-2 defeat away to Breda was a loss of face, and if he loses again tonight, he will be blamed by all the fans and the media, and the team will miss out on the race for the first trophy of the season.

So, in the 78th minute, Ronald Coman made the third substitution of the game.

Yang Yang came off the bench again, replaced by left winger Mithya.

After coming on the pitch, Yang Yang still played as a right winger, Wesley Sonk switched to a left winger, Ibrahimovic continued to occupy the middle, and De Jong dragged behind in midfield, Van der Vaart and Sneijder stepped forward.

And the first time he touched the ball after coming on the court, Yang Yang directly took the ball to face Balakat.

…………

…………

Barakaat was the loser in the Ajax Academy competition.

His failure to make the first team in competition with Mitya, Deridel and Sawytars, and the threat of Ryan Babel behind him forced him to leave Ajax in search of more opportunities in other teams.

But it also planted a dissatisfaction with the Ajax academy players in his heart.

Looking at Mitya's performance in this game, what qualifies him to be the starting left winger?

For the current academy player who has risen extremely quickly in the past week, and two substitute appearances have changed the outcome of the game, Balakaat is also extremely unconvinced, just like he was dissatisfied with the talented Babel in the team.

Especially when he saw Yang Yang facing him directly with the ball, his heart was even more nameless.

He wanted to teach the kid in front of him a hard lesson.

In Ronald Koeman, in front of all the fans in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena and in front of the TV.

But as soon as he moved, Yang Yang, who was close at hand, suddenly moved.

Yang Yang is like a rabbit, he moves extremely fast, with a very confusing continuous feint, he successfully made Balakaat think that he was going to cross the bottom, but he didn't expect his figure to flicker, the ball at his feet was buckled, changed to cut inward, shook off a gap, and grabbed before Balakat, pushed with his left foot, and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic had already understood this, and after leaning on the defender with his body, he was tall and legged, stopped the ball to the right, turned and fired a powerful shot with his right foot.

The ball smashed into the goal guarded by Arnold Van Tswam with a thunderous momentum, 1-1!

After the goal, Ibrahimovic was so excited that he jumped up, rushed to Yang Yang, and picked him up.

The fans at the Amsterdam Arena were also in a frenzy, and their enthusiasm was rekindled.

After the equaliser, Ajax began to launch a frantic attack.

Don Lockhoff made two successive substitutions in the space of four minutes to further strengthen the team's central midfield defence.

Yang Yang was very active on the right side, relying on the substitute after coming on the field is very physical, has a large range of activities, and is quite threatening with the ball, in the 83rd minute, he had a direct dribble to the defensive line was fouled by Breda central defender Penders, for Ajax to win a free kick opportunity on the right side.

It's a pity that Sneijder's free-kick hit the wall directly and failed to create a threat.

The Ajax fans in the stands were cheering incessantly, encouraging the players to continue to attack harder.

This is a single-game knockout match, and a draw will not guarantee Ajax progress.

Time was slowly passing, and Ajax was still intensifying their offensive, but Breda was also stubbornly resisting.

When Yang Yang retreated to respond, Heitinga quickly passed the ball to the feet of his teammate on the right.

Yang Yang received the ball and turned around without defense, and dribbled forward, Balakaat quickly ran over to intercept, but Yang Yang took the lead and passed the ball horizontally to Sneijder, who received him in the middle, and he quickly rushed forward.

Sneijder really understood, and after receiving the ball, he directly kicked a low flat ball and plugged it directly, accurately sending the ball to Yang Yang's sprint line, and there was a significant slowdown after landing, so that Yang Yang could continue to carry the ball forward very comfortably after catching up with the ball.

Penders quickly pulled to the right to defend, but Yang Yang's pace had already picked up.

As soon as the two made contact on the right side of the penalty area, Yang Yang suddenly accelerated after a direct emergency stop, and after carving out a trace of space from Penders, who was defending on the side, he quickly crossed with his right foot.

This is the curling cross from [Beckham's cross].

The ball arced through the box, confusing the goalkeeper and defenders in the box, before suddenly falling to the back post.

Belgian striker Wesley Sonck cut diagonally into the box from the left flank and headed home from close range unguarded to make it 2-1!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

The Amsterdam Arena radio was heard with the roar of the commentators.

All the Ajax fans in the stadium also rushed out of their seats, shouting wildly.

In the overwhelming cheers, Wesley Sonk quickly rushed out of the field, rushed to the corner flagstick, and yelled to vent the excitement and excitement after the goal, and Yang Yang also caught up with him from behind for the first time, and the two hugged hard.

Fans in the stands chanted Wesley Sonk's name.

But Yang Yang also vaguely heard someone shouting at him, still in broken Chinese.

2-1, in less than ten minutes, Ajax managed to reverse their opponents.

Ronald Koman, who was on the sidelines, was also excited, and he didn't expect that Yang Yang would play such a miraculous effect after coming on the bench, coming on as a substitute three times and rewriting the result of the game three times.

As a head coach, he himself found it unbelievable, but he also had lingering palpitations.

Without Yang Yang, Ajax will not only lose a league game, but will also be eliminated from the European competition, and will also be eliminated from the Dutch Cup tonight.

Yang Yang not only saved Ajax, but also saved him as a manager.

"This kid is a god!" Ronald Coman laughed.

As a very successful professional player in the past, he can naturally see that every time Yang Yang comes on the bench, he catches the opponent's weakness and seven inches to play, which is obviously not something he can arrange.

Perhaps this is what he learned from sitting on the sidelines and watching the game.
