Amsterdam Arena!

Yang Yang sat on the bench, listening to the tsunami from the fans in the stands, and his heart was extremely excited.

He will never forget the shock that John Repp gave him as he walked his team up and down through this magnificent football temple, which was one of the driving forces that kept him on to improve.

Half a year ago, he was desperate to step onto the pitch, and tonight, his chance finally came.

The opponent in this game is Utrecht, who are currently eighth in the Eredivisie and have a well-balanced attack and defence.

Ronald Koeman made changes to his starting line-up due to a hard-fought midweek game against Club Brugge in Belgium.

Robont continued to start, with Maxwell, Escud, Heitinga and Trabelsi in defence, while the Tunisian right wing-back started two games in a row and was very consistent and reassuring on the right.

The midfield is still a combination of Van der Vaart, Frenkie de Jong and Sneijder, with Obodai on the right flank, Wesley Sonk in the middle, and Mitea on the left wing.

However, Ajax's attacking combination clearly lacked attacking ability, and it was always difficult to create a threat in front of Utrecht's defence, and Wesley Sonk was also isolated up front, making it difficult to make a difference.

Left winger Mitya was even more dumb throughout the game, continuing the previous sluggish performance, so that manager Ronald Coman finally couldn't hold back and replaced him directly at half-time.

Being substituted at half-time shows Koeman's disappointment with Mitya.

Coming off the bench was high school striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swede who showed everyone what he could do up front with the win over Brugge, and not just the goals that can bring.

And this time, his appearance really changed the situation on the field.

But Ajax are still a little short of scoring.

Utrecht's well-balanced 442 formation, playing away from home and focusing on defence, made it difficult for the home side to threaten in attack, and Ibrahimovic and Wesley Sonk were in desperate need of passes from their team-mates up front.

In the 60th minute, Utrecht's manager Folk-Boe made his first substitution of the game, bringing on left winger Joost Brosse, apparently trying to hit Ajax behind the counter-attack.

Trabelsi and Maxwell were very strong, but the two centre-backs were mediocre in defending the ball, and Boy was clearly looking to use that to counter-attack.

Sure enough, after the substitutions, Ajax dominated the field, but Utrecht began to take advantage of several opportunities to counter-attack and create some threats, which made Ajax more and more passive on the field.

The full-backs want to insert the attack, but they are afraid of being beaten behind, so they do not insert the attack, and the attack in the front court lacks wide support.

Time passed bit by bit in hesitation, and Yang Yang was also silently waiting for the opportunity.

His attention was more on Utrecht's left wing-back, Etienne Xu.

It is not difficult to see from the name that he is a mixed-race Chinese, but except for the name and yellow skin, there is no trace of Chinese on his body, and even his hair is not pure black, let alone Chinese.

It's Utrecht's left-sided wing-back, but he's a right-footed player.

Height of 1.83 meters, his body is not strong, his speed is not fast, but his defensive ability is good, several defensive positions are very good, but his offensive ability is relatively average, and his 45-degree cross is good.

If it is one-on-one on the wing, Yang Yang has enough confidence to eat the opponent.

It is worth mentioning that Utrecht's left central defender Bosca Boschath is a left-footed general, and the right central defender Sander Kohler is a right-footed general.

Unfortunately, it is now difficult for Ajax to get the ball from both flanks and send the ball to the feet of Ibrahimovic, so naturally it is not possible to fully play the tactical role of the Swedish centre-forward in the front.

Yang Yang silently observed the game, discussing the situation changes with Fermaelen sitting next to him from time to time.

The Belgian centre-back is also in the squad for this game, and no one knows if he will be able to come off the bench.

Seventy minutes passed quickly, but the situation on the field remained unchanged.

Ronald Koeman finally couldn't resist making another move.

Luther Carroll quickly turned around and came to the bench and pointed to Yang Yang, "Yang, give you three minutes, go warm up." ”

Although Yang Yang was mentally prepared, he still felt very excited, stood up from his seat, took off his long-sleeved training uniform to Fermalen next to him, and then hugged the Belgian central defender.

"Good work, come on!" Fermaren was very envious, but he still sincerely congratulated his friend.

…………

…………

"Look, he's coming!"

Somewhere in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena, when Wei Zheng saw Luther Carroll asking Yang Yang to run out to warm up, the whole person jumped up, pointed at Yang Yang on the sidelines and shouted.

His brother Wei Zhen, who was sitting next to him, also immediately shouted to the photographer next to him, "Quick, take a picture." ”

Shen Ming's family of three was also sitting next to them, they all entered with Yang Yang's tickets, and their expressions were extremely excited.

After his debut in the Champions League, in just three days, Yang Yang will make his debut in the Eredivisie.

Unlike the last time I was in Belgium, this time it was close to my doorstep.

"I'm going to play, I hope he can do well." Shen Ming said uneasily.

Cousin Shen Yuzhu is also very concerned, she knows that Wei Zheng's brother Wei Zhen is the director of the most authoritative national TV sports channel in China, and he came to the Netherlands specifically to report on Yang Yang, so she naturally hopes that her cousin can have a good performance.

Yang Yang warmed up on the sidelines, not affected by off-field factors at all, and even the applause given to him by many fans at the scene, he looked very indifferent, just buried his head on the sidelines to warm up.

Soon after, he was back in the dugout, spoke to head coach Ronald Koeman and came to the sidelines.

In the seventy-fifth minute, taking advantage of a dead goal, Yang Yang came on as a substitute and was replaced by Obodai.

When the stadium radio announced this substitution, the fans in the stadium burst into warm applause again.

All fans remember that three days ago, in Brugge, Belgium, it was Yang Yang who came on the pitch in the last few minutes to break the deadlock on the pitch and save Ajax and help the team miraculously break through from the group stage.

This time, they are also looking forward to Yang Yang being able to continue the wonderful performance of the last game.

…………

…………

Yang Yang and Obodai hugged on the sidelines, and quickly walked into the court.

He saw Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Ibrahimovic and Wesley Sonk all glaring at him, and nodded knowingly that he would give it his all.

Taking another deep breath, Yang Yang looked intently at Etienne Xu in front of him.

Utrecht's left wing-back has already received a yellow card in the 55th minute, and he has played 75 minutes, as a full-back, his consumption should be not small, Yang Yang can completely let go.

The game restarted, and Yang Yang soon got a chance to get the ball on the right side.

After receiving a pass from Sneijder, Yang Yang took the ball directly to face Etienne Xu, and suddenly started quickly, and when he wanted to use a pendulum pass to break through the opponent from the inside, Etienne Xu was very stable and did not give Yang Yang a chance, forcing him to protect the ball.

But at this moment, Yang Yang suddenly divided the ball to the right side, Trabelsi quickly inserted it from the back row, and crossed it from the bottom.

Unfortunately, Trabelsi's cross was too close to goal and was easily picked off by goalkeeper Punk.

Ibrahimovic, who was eager to score goals, opened his arms to his teammates in frustration, as if to say, I'm just outside the small penalty area, what are you doing in the small penalty area?

Trabelsi shook his head depressedly, ran back with a wry smile, and when he passed by Yang Yang, he saw Yang Yang stretching out his hand and not forgetting to high-five his teammates, which was a mutual encouragement.

Soon, Trabelsi reciprocated, sent a direct pass on the right side, and sent the ball directly to the front court on the right side, Yang Yang received the ball and faced Etienne Xu directly, but this time Yang Yang still had no chance, so he could only pass back to Sneijder in the midfield, so that the midfield could be reorganized.

After two successive attacks, neither of which could create a threat, Ajax's attack on the right flank became noticeably more active.

Yang Yang also gradually figured out the opponent's defense through the two attacks after the game.

As experienced centre-backs, Utrecht's two centre-backs are familiar with Ibrahimovic, and they are also focused on the Swedish centre-forward, which will not be easy to play again.

Ajax regrouped and the team's three lines retreated appropriately, allowing Utrecht to press out and leave space up front.

The purpose of slowing down the pace is to suddenly speed up, so Yang Yang did not be careless because of this, but patiently looked for opportunities.

Finally, in the 78th minute, after De Jong broke the ball in the middle, Sneijder quickly shoved the ball and sent the ball accurately behind the Utrecht defence.

'The referee didn't award offside, it was a favourable attack from Ajax.'

"Yang Yang won the ball on the right side, but Utrecht's left central defender Boschart was not slow and defended in a timely manner."

"Let's see what Yang Yang will do this time."

"Coming directly to the front of the penalty area with the ball, Yang Yang slowed down and made continuous feints ......"

"Sudden acceleration, beautiful pendulum ......"

"Yang Yang formed a breakthrough from the right side and passed to the back point......"

"The back point is empty!"

"Vandervaart!"

"The ball is in!!!!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"In the 78th minute, Ajax forced a breakthrough on the right side by substitute Yang Yang, and the curling ball was passed to the back point, and Van der Vaart scored with a header unguarded, 1-0!"

"We can see that Yang Yang's cross is of high quality, and Ibrahimovic and Sander Kohler at the front point failed to grab it, but it was Van der Vaart, who was unguarded behind him, who seized the opportunity."

'It was also the Ajax captain's fifth league goal of the season.'

"After providing two assists after coming off the bench against Club Brugge three days ago, teenager Yang Yang changed the game again tonight."
