After a frenzied celebration, the Ajax players returned to the pitch.

Arsenal are a seasoned veteran team, and although they were one goal behind in the opening period, they didn't look nervous, as if they didn't take the goal seriously at all, which made Ajax a little too excited.

Head coach Ronald Koeman also kept shouting from the sidelines, reminding his players to be careful and stay calm.

According to statistics, the 10 minutes after a goal are often the easiest time to concede a goal.

Everyone at Ajax took this seriously, and everyone adjusted their mentality and started to play after the game restarted, but Arsenal managed to control the game smoothly this time.

As it turned out, when Arsenal started to play normally, it was difficult for Ajax to compete with the opposition and had to be forced to defend.

Arsene Wenger is also obviously well aware that conceding a goal early in the opening game away to Ajax is quite detrimental to Arsenal, so he keeps directing the game from the sidelines, asking his players to give their best in attack and try to seize every attacking opportunity to equalise, but this does not mean that Arsenal will be in a hurry.

Yang Yang kept running on the field, actively participating in the pressing and pressing of the frontcourt, and when necessary, he would also take the initiative to return to the midfield, or even the backline, after all, the team finally scored a goal, and he had to defend it no matter what.

But at the same time, he is also carefully watching Arsenal's style of play.

This is definitely not the kind of high-flying Premier League team in Yang Yang's impression, Arsenal's style is more inclined to control, whether it is the ball or the rhythm, the Gunners like to control in their familiar state.

Not only that, Arsenal's players run very hard, even Henry in the front, the range of movement is very large, when the team is in possession of the ball, the three lines are kept very compact and orderly, each player will be surrounded by teammates, ready to support and respond, and the passing distance has always been controlled at about ten meters.

In this range, even strong men like Patrick Vieira and Campbell can ensure a pass success rate.

The Ajax players want to grab the ball, but the opposing players can always find the ball around them, which makes it very difficult to grab the ball, forcing the Ajax players to run all the time and press, not to mention the physical exertion, and the blow to the players' willpower is also greater than usual.

People are always eager to be rewarded for their efforts, but when the returns are much lower than expected, they will inevitably be disappointed.

Once or twice may be able to heal quickly, five times or ten times may be able to convince oneself, but when more and more disappointments accumulate, it is a huge torture and challenge for anyone.

Ajax are now facing Arsenal and want to grab but it is difficult to get the ball, which is very disappointing.

Yang Yang also noticed that Arsenal's formation is very meticulous, the players are very close, and the success rate of passing and receiving the ball is very high, but they also need to put in a lot of running and effort, even big guys like Vieira and Campbell need to move constantly on the field, and the physical consumption is also very large.

It's just that relatively speaking, Ajax is affected by psychological pressure, and the consumption and emotional aspects will suffer more.

But Arsenal also pose a huge threat to Ajax's defence through this passing and running.

It is difficult for the home team to keep the team's defensive position solid when they are moving, and players can make mistakes with each other at any time, for the offensive end, mistakes are a big deal and they can be repeated, but for the defenders, mistakes are likely to be scored.

Arsenal are now pulling Ajax's defence through this continuous passing and running, and then constantly creating chances, but Ajax are forced to struggle even on the counter-attack.

Ronald Koeman himself is a defensive player, and his style of leading the team has always been to grasp the defense first, so Ajax's defensive position in the center and back is not bad, and when the players focus on the game, Arsenal finally failed to equalize within ten minutes of conceding the goal, but Ajax still failed to hold the 25th minute.

In the 23rd minute, Arsenal once again attacked the Ajax penalty area.

Edu, who started in place of Brazilian defender Gilberto Silva, received a pass from a teammate at the edge of the penalty area, flicked to the right, and immediately shook off two defenders, De Jong and Heitinga, and then denied Sneijder who was back to grab, and made a wonderful arc on the inside of his right foot.

The ball crashed into the top left corner of the goal in a surprising way in the crowd!

One-to-one!

Arsenal finally equalised!

The goal left the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium in dead end.

This is of course a player's personal shining performance, but why not be a problem exposed by Ajax themselves under Arsenal's long-term attack?

At least De Jong and Heitinga overlapped just now, resulting in no one defending in the top area of the arc at the front of the penalty area, and Sneijder pounced too hard when he made up for it, and was directly deducted by the opponent.

It's kind of like revenge.

Ajax's goal in the opening eight minutes came very suddenly, but Arsenal's goal was no less surprising.

…………

…………

Watching Edu excitedly rush past him and rush out of the court, Yang Yang wiped his face vigorously, his hands were covered with sweat, this was the most consuming and stressful game he had ever played.

What's worse is that it only lasted less than twenty-four minutes.

1-1, equalised, what's next?

Yang Yang looked up at his teammates, especially captain Van der Vaart, but the young genius also looked lost, obviously still immersed in the goal just conceded, while the others also drooped their heads, as if they were shameless to face the fans at home.

Isn't it time to cheer up? Yang Yang thought to himself.

Head coach Ronald Koeman's voice soon came from the sidelines, urging his players to pick themselves up as soon as possible.

"It's okay, it's okay, everybody did a great job, it was just an accident, keep playing like this."

"Everyone believe me, keep playing like this, keep defending, seize the opportunity to fight back, we must still have a chance, they can't hold on for long, we must not be discouraged."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the sidelines, although Ronald Coman was a little blessed, but he was more of a big man.

He's always been the big man in the dressing room, everyone is convinced, and what the manager says is not unreasonable.

The consumption of Arsenal players is also very large, especially considering that they are away, not to mention running back and forth, they have just beaten Chelsea away in the league, in contrast, Ajax is to work at ease, and physical fitness should have an advantage.

Of course, the premise is that Arsenal must no longer be allowed to possess the ball, which is terrible.

Ronald Koeman also seems to realize that after taking the lead just now, Ajax suddenly recovered too much, giving Arsenal too much freedom to pass the ball, especially in the 30-metre zone to the penalty area, Ajax is too passive.

Therefore, he quickly made on-the-spot adjustments, Sneijder retreated to De Jong's position, the two were a bit like two midfielders, and Yang Yang and Wesley Sonk were also withdrawn, basically the same as Van der Vaart, who burst forward in the middle.

Ibrahimovic, who was very active in this game, was still at the front, with outstanding physical fitness and excellent personal ability, and the Swedish center forward with excellent individual ability was not inferior even to Campbell, and was still the bridgehead of Ajax's attack.

In this way, Ajax's position is a bit like a four-two-three-one two-back formation.

…………

…………

After the game restarted, Arsenal still tried to control the ball and tempo, but Ajax began to consciously increase the pressing in front and the pressing in midfield.

The two wingers, Yang Yang and Wesley Sonk, have a lot of responsibility, and they must be able to press forward and actively engage in pressing for the Arsenal backline, but after retreating to half-time, they must be able to retract into the midfield and rush to the team's midfield to defend on the flanks and ensure the numerical advantage.

Although Ronald Coman did not say it, Yang Yang knew very well that as long as there was an opportunity to counterattack, the two of them should also be like two sharp knives, quickly cutting through Arsenal's defense from the two wings and creating opportunities for Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart in the middle.

It was a tough game, with Ajax inferior to Arsenal and the Gunners' ability to pass and possess physical advantages at the same time was a lot of pressure on the young home players.

In the 29th minute, Van der Vaart was knocked over by the French defender when he tried to break through Vieira with the ball in the middle, although the referee gave Ajax a set-piece, but a chance to attack was missed.

The time entered the 30th minute steadily, although Ajax tried to counterattack, but whether it was on the left or the right, failed to get a chance, Yang Yang's best chance came in the 36th minute, Sneijder tried to plug a straight kick behind him, Yang Yang has started the anti-offside position, and it looks like a threat.

But at the critical moment, Campbell predicted extremely accurately, stabbed out of bounds, shoveled the ball out of bounds before Yang Yang, and when he got up and walked back, he didn't forget to stare at Yang Yang viciously, his eyes were full of intimidation and threat, as if to say, this time is just a warning, next time I will aim at your legs.

Just started quickly, so that Yang Yang bent over, propped his hands on his knees, and gasped for air.

The sweat on my face ran down my cheeks to my nose and finally dripped on the grass, I was really tired!

But in the face of such a fierce opponent, Yang Yang was not afraid at all, his only thought was that he was too stupid just now, obviously Campbell was dragging at the end, but he didn't start in advance, otherwise, how could he catch up with himself at the speed of that big black man?

"How? You okay? Teammate Sneijder ran over and asked with concern.

Now it's Ajax's chance to take a throw-in in front.

Yang Yang shook his head, and the sweat was directly thrown away by him, "I'm a little tired." ”

Snead couldn't help but laugh, he would say this, proving that Yang Yang was really fine, "I'm really afraid that you will be intimidated by him." ”

"Hehe, I'm not bold, but I'm not intimidated by him." Yang Yang said lightly.

Seeing Trabelsi who stepped forward and was about to take a throw-in, Yang Yang suddenly had an idea in his heart.
