230 Iron Man [Vomiting blood for the third shift, begging for a monthly pass]
'Ajax took the lead with a substitution.
Yang Yang, who wore the number 11 jersey, replaced Tom Demoor.
"After playing the UEFA Super Cup, Yang Yang returned to Asia to participate in the national team, and it was during the period of his absence that Ajax lost points in a row, widening the gap with PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord."
"It can be said that throughout September and October, Ajax fans have been waiting for Yang Yang's return."
"The fans at the scene were shouting Yang Yang, his popularity at the club is very high, and everyone has high hopes for him."
"I don't know if Yang Yang can repeat his excellent performance against Kuwait three days ago tonight."
…………
…………
In a burst of cheers from fans, Yang Yang hugged Demur and officially stepped into the stadium.
It was his first substitute appearance at Ajax this season and it felt familiar.
But Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart, Trabelsi and other familiar teammates are gone, replaced by the unfamiliar Charlie Steas.
Either way, the Greek centre-forward will hardly be able to replace Ibrahimovic up front.
Although, his tactical role looks a little higher.
After Yang Yang took a deep breath, he quickly rushed to the right half of the area and directly faced the opponent's left-wing player Filippovic.
Whether it is Filippovic or Bodol, when Ajax defeated Roda JC 4-2 away last season, they were also present, and they were also quite afraid of Yang Yang.
In the entire Dutch football world, who doesn't know Yang Yang's nickname as a gold medal substitute last season?
It is the name of the so-called man, the shadow of the tree.
Being able to make the opposing defenders jealous should have been a happy thing, but Yang Yang is now quite depressed.
Because both Filippovic and Bodol are following him closely, Filippovic is not actively attacking forward.
Obviously, this is the arrangement of the manager on the sidelines.
A 0-0 draw, Roda JC could accept it, but Ajax couldn't.
Yang Yang's plan before coming on the court didn't work, and he had to change his mind and patiently intersperse running, looking for opportunities.
Soon, after receiving a pass from Sneijder on the right flank, he shook off a defender and sent the ball to the feet of Charles Steas with his left foot.
The Greek center forward received the ball at the top of the arc in front of the penalty area, but the first kick could not be stopped, resulting in the subsequent turn and shot action could not be used, and even the ball was lost.
He is not Ibrahimovic after all.
Yang Yang raised his right hand towards the Greek center forward apologetically and took the initiative to take the mistake.
He doesn't need to prove himself anymore, but Charlie Steas still needs to build confidence in the team.
Soon, Yang Yang got another chance, after retreating to receive De Jong's pass, he shook off Filippovic, and passed the ball diagonally with his left foot, but Pienal failed to understand the intention and did not insert it in time, causing the ball to go directly out of the bottom line.
Both attacks had ideas, but neither could create a threat.
Ronald Coman couldn't sit still on the sidelines and finally made a second substitution.
Wesley Sonk replaces veteran Galasek.
As a result, Ajax reverted to the familiar four-three-three formation, with Wesley Sonk as the left winger and a front trident with Charlie Steias and Yang Yang, and Pienaar returning to midfield to partner Sneijder and Frenkie de Jong.
By this time, the time had reached seventy-three minutes.
Ronald Koeman clearly wants his team to play more aggressively and create more chances.
Yang Yang gained more freedom on the right flank and began to expand his area of activity, actively interspersing runs in search of opportunities, but both wide players of Roda JC followed him closely, making it difficult for him to get a chance to perform.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally eighty minutes passed.
Ajax fans, who were expecting Yang Yang to change the situation when he could play, gradually calmed down and realized that the difficulty of the opponent was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
But what's next?
Ronald Coman is no longer a move, he has no moves.
Now that these players on the court are the best offensive combination he can put out, how else can he change?
If even Yang Yang can't do anything, then there is really nothing he can do.
Roda JC is more and more confident.
0-0, it's a win for them.
And now, as if they saw the goddess of victory beckoning at them.
Ajax were still patiently looking for opportunities, with Sneijder and Pienal's strength being calm enough.
Yang Yang was not in a hurry, because everyone told him that the more critical the moment, the more important it was to stay sane.
Ronald Coman also realized that right wing-back Grigra did not give Yang Yang enough support, and always let him fall into the circle of two players alone, which made it difficult for Yang Yang to play his characteristics, so he kept signaling Grigrado to press forward on the sidelines.
After Grigera's position was moved forward, Yang Yang's pressure was much easier.
Originally, the connection between Sneijder and Yang Yang was too obvious, but after Grigla stepped forward, there was an additional connection point in the middle, and it became a triangular transmission, and it was difficult for the other party to defend it.
Soon, a triangle pass down the right created a chance.
After Yang Yang received a pass from Pienal on the right rib, he had no chance and passed back to Sneijder, and he did not run away again, but followed Bodol.
Sneijder, who is cooperating with Yang Yang more and more tacitly, is very aware of Yang Yang's intentions, Bodor comes out to the front of the penalty area, and there is an opportunity behind him, and Yang Yang has an advantage in speed.
But if you pass it directly, it will definitely not work, Yang Yang will be stuck behind Bodol and will not be able to receive the ball.
Therefore, Sneijder quickly distributed it to Grigla and motioned for him to pass it diagonally to Yang Yang.
After Grigla received the ball, the moment of the diagonal pass, Yang Yang quickly started and inserted the front from the right side of Bodol to the back.
Grigra's idea was that when it arrived, the ball was passed, but it was a little more powerful and passed directly to the baseline.
This greatly surprised Snead and Yang Yang.
But there was no way, Yang Yang could only continue to speed up to catch up.
"Grigora has a big shot."
But Yang Yang still didn't give up.
Bodor was in hot pursuit after him.
Yang Yang also clearly knew that Bodol was chasing behind him, but he had no choice but to catch up as fast as possible, otherwise the ball would be out of the bottom line.
Eventually, he caught up with the ball before it went off the line, but Bodol had already chased him to his left as well.
At that moment, Yang Yang clearly knew that he didn't have the angle of the cross, and the forced kick cross would only hit Bodol's body, which was at most a corner kick.
But now he's on the edge of the penalty area, what a good opportunity.
Yang Yang was in a hurry, and immediately made an emergency stop to smash the ball, buckled the ball in front of the bottom line, and did not go out of bounds, but he rushed out of the bottom line because of inertia, but quickly stabilized his figure.
Bodol next to him was not so lucky, after all, he was in a hurry, and the whole person rushed out directly.
Yang Yang quickly took the football horizontally with his left foot, and the whole person rushed into the penalty area, and at the same time used his body to block Bodol outside the bottom line, and all the advantages were on his side at this time.
Bodol didn't dare to foul at all, and he didn't even dare to touch Yang Yang.
As long as he touches it, Yang Yang falls, and it is a penalty.
After Yang Yang blocked Bodol with his body, he took the ball to the goal against the bottom line.
Roda JC's goalkeeper blocked the goal post, leaving no shooting angle for Yang Yang at all, and the opponent's central defender quickly returned to the defense and stood beside the goalkeeper.
In this case, Yang Yang has no angle.
But Yang Yang didn't give the opponent any time to react at all, and when he quickly dribbled the ball horizontally to the front of the small penalty area, his body suddenly shook, and the ball was buckled to the left side, and when his left foot was about to hit the goal, he deceived the opponent's central defender.
As soon as the opponent's right foot was raised, Yang Yang gently pushed the ball sideways with his left foot.
In this way, the ball crosses under the opponent's raised right foot, forming a crotch piercing and rolling behind the opponent.
It was also at this moment that Charlie Steias suddenly came to his senses and swept his right foot lightly.
The ball hit his right foot, changed direction and rolled into the Roda JC goal.
The Greek center is stunned!
But the fans at the scene went crazy!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"In the 87th minute, Ajax finally broke through the goal of Roda JC!"
"Yang Yang's breakthrough with the ball on the right side is very exciting, in the case of Grigra passing the ball wide, Yang Yang still did not give up, chased to the bottom line and finally intercepted the ball, but also broke through Bodol's defense, dribbling into the penalty area."
"Then, when the opposing goalkeeper and central defender blocked all the angles of his shots, he relied on his feints to deceive a little passing space, and passed the ball through the crotch to Charlie Steias, who received in the middle."
"The Greek centre-forward has picked up a big bargain, he has to do something very simple, he just needs to put his foot in the empty net, and the opposing goalkeeper and central defender can't influence him."
"One to zero!"
"Ajax finally scored in the 87th minute!"
"Yang Yang! It's still Yang Yang! ”
"At the critical moment, it was Yang Yang's outstanding performance that saved Ajax!"
"After saving the Chinese national team and Alihan three days ago, Yang Yang saved Ajax and Ronald Koeman tonight."
"He's so astonishing!"
"Before the game, the media made statistics, Yang Yang flew from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing on the 10th, then from Beijing to Amsterdam, then to Kuwait City, and finally from Kuwait to Amsterdam, the whole journey was 20,000 kilometers, and from the 9th to the 16th, in just eight days, Yang Yang played three games."
"Eight days, three races, 20,000 kilometers, he can be said to be an iron man, and what is even more rare is that he played a key role in all three races, which makes people have to admire his excellence."
"The biggest credit for Charlie Steas's goal should belong to Yang Yang, and if Ajax wins tonight, Yang Yang will undoubtedly be the team's number one contributor."
"The Ajax fans at the scene were already boiling."
"They are all cheering Yang Yang's name, and this will be Ajax's first win in two months."
"The returning Yang Yang once again let them enjoy the joy of victory."
