Chapter 108 Penalty
"The Feyenoord players are very dissatisfied and they are chasing the referee for an explanation."

"Obviously, they all thought the red card was okay, but the penalty was a bit unfair."

"Van Vendren's foul just now should have been outside the penalty area. It should have been a free kick, not a penalty."

"But the referee's attitude was very firm, pointing to his own eyes to show that he saw very clearly."

"Indeed, just now he was chasing behind Yang Yang and Fan Wendelun all the way. It can only be said that Yang Yang's speed is too fast."

"We can look at the slow-motion playback again. Just now Yang Yang got rid of Van Halen from the start. The speed of Feyenoord's left back is really not a strong point."

"Sneijder's overhead kick was beautiful, and he cooperated very well with Yang Yang."

"Yang Yang's speed did not slow down after catching up with the ball. When facing Van Wendren, he still had an obvious sudden acceleration..."

"Looking at this foul again, Van Wendelen pulled Yang Yang's jersey twice. The first time he was freed, but when he pulled it for the second time, Yang Yang had already stepped into the penalty area. This is indeed a penalty without any doubt."

"Ajax's right winger is really fast, especially in the final stage of the game, and he can attack the opponent's defense at such a speed, which really puts huge pressure on the defensive players."

"A red card plus a penalty, Ajax got a chance to further expand their lead."

"Let's see who will take this penalty."

…………

Seeing Van Vendren walking off the field without hesitation, Van Marwijk still went up to meet him, hugged the central defender, and calmed the players. After all, in the situation just now, fouling was also a last resort.

If there is no foul, Yang Yang will be single-handedly entering the penalty area, and the goal is also guaranteed.

After seeing off the players, Van Marwijk looked at the field with a depressed face, and looked at the Chinese kid talking and laughing with his teammates, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

He was originally full of confidence, but he didn't expect to be spoiled by this kid.

Compared with Yang Yang, Van Marwijk looked at his team's left forward Van Persie, and compared the two, he felt even more sad.

During his tenure at Feyenoord, he had a bad relationship with Van Persie, who preferred to play as a centre-forward, but van Marwijk felt he should play as a left-winger, with newcomer Didier in the centre, whose hard work and commitment could put more pressure on the opposing defense.

This led to a tense relationship between Van Marwijk and Van Persie.

At this moment, looking at the brilliant Yang Yang and Van Persie on the court who seemed to be completely indifferent to the outcome, Van Marwijk was inevitably a little out of balance.

…………

…………

The big screen in the stadium kept replaying the slow motion of Van Vendren's foul just now, and the radio kept cheering Yang Yang's outstanding performance, but the Ajax fans in the stands couldn't wait to enter the carnival.

A red card plus a penalty kick has basically determined Ajax's victory.

Even, from the moment Yang Yang assisted Vermaelen with a corner kick just now, Ajax had already won.

"Do you feel distressed now?" Van Gaal asked Van Prager with a smile.

The chairman of Ajax smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just want to say that you, the technical director, are too dereliction of duty."

Van Gaal was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

The team won the ball, and the mood of the two of them improved, but the trouble that followed was Yang Yang's contract renewal.

As early as during the winter training period, Yang Yang’s agent, Andrew, had a private meeting with the top management of Twente, and later mentioned Yang Yang in an interview with the media. Although Ajax stopped the loss in time with public relations, Yang Yang fired his agent as soon as he returned to the Netherlands, but he still couldn’t stand the hype of the outside media and the heated discussions of the fans.

After the winter break, Yang Yang's performance was as good as ever, and his progress can be clearly felt in every game, and the issue of contract renewal has also been placed in front of Ajax.

Not to mention others, even Van Gaal, who is very familiar with Yang Yang, was deeply shocked by Yang Yang's progress.

too fast!
Leaving aside the league, the last round of the UEFA Champions League against Bruges helped Ajax advance to the knockout stage. This game was worth more than ten million euros. It helped the team advance to the Holland Cup for two consecutive rounds. Now Ajax has become the biggest favorite in the Dutch Cup. If it really wins the cup, Yang Yang will be the number one contributor.

Just a few games, but brought a heavy report card, anyone would find it unbelievable.

Van Gaal is very aware of the current situation of Yang Yang. He still has very obvious weaknesses and shortcomings, such as his stopping the ball is not good enough, for example, his one-foot pass is not skilled enough, and his scoring ability is weak among wingers...

But he had just turned 17.

If he is 27 years old, these weaknesses and shortcomings will indeed affect him, but for a 17-year-old player, these represent untapped potential.

Even thinking about it, Van Gaal finds it unbelievable. With Yang Yang's current progress and his dedication to football, if he can really make up for these shortcomings and deficiencies, what kind of player will he be?
"It is still necessary to negotiate a contract renewal as soon as possible, so as not to panic the outside world." Van Prager suggested.

"He hasn't found a suitable agent yet." Van Gaal smiled helplessly.

For his friend, Van Gaal is clear, he only thinks about playing football, and doesn't care about other things.

If he finds a reliable agent, he can certainly play football with peace of mind, but if unfortunately he meets an unreliable agent, then he may be abducted into the ditch.

Just like that Andrew, he is obviously a scammer.

…………

…………

The referee finally settled the Feyenoord players and let them all understand that this penalty cannot be changed.

Both sides gathered outside Feyenoord's penalty area, waiting for the imminent penalty.

Who will Ajax take this penalty?

Captain van der Vaart is the undisputed penalty-taker, as can Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wesley Songk...

Just when everyone inside and outside the court was guessing the ground, Van der Vaart suddenly walked towards Yang Yang who was standing on the right side of the top of the arc, and directly stuffed the ball in Yang Yang's arms, "This ball should be punished by you."

Yang Yang froze for a moment, he had never taken a penalty kick.

Not only him, but even the teammates around him were a little surprised, even Zlatan Ibrahimovic was fine, but why Yang Yang?
But soon, everyone was relieved. After all, this penalty opportunity was earned by Yang Yang's personal ability, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation of the game. Regardless of whether he scored or not, Ajax won.

"Raphael, I..." Yang Yang was very surprised.

"I believe you can do it, don't be pressured, go." Van der Vaart patted Yang Yang on the shoulder and encouraged him.

The two are actually about the same age. Van der Vaart will not turn 21 in a few days, but he has been famous for many years and is the captain of Ajax, so he naturally regards Yang Yang as his younger brother.

Yang Yang looked at the ball in his arms, and then at the teammates around him. Everyone nodded towards him, which made him feel helpless. He could only bite the bullet and went straight to the penalty spot. He gently placed the ball on the white spot, like taking a corner kick. After stepping on the turf, he slowly backed away.

Behind them, players from both teams retreated outside the penalty area, but everyone was ready to rush into the penalty area.

In front of Yang Yang, there was only Feyenoord's goalkeeper left, and the seemingly spacious goal, which actually made him feel very narrow.

Especially when the goalkeeper opened his arms, Yang Yang felt helpless, as if no matter which direction he shot, the ball would be thrown.

At this moment, tens of thousands of fans inside and outside the stadium, countless spectators in front of the TV, everyone's eyes fell on him, which made it difficult for Yang Yang not to feel pressure, even if his reason kept telling him that it didn't matter if he missed a penalty kick.

He wants to win, he wants to score this penalty.

"Old Bing, how do you punish this ball?"

All kinds of intelligence and information given by the coaching staff before the game emerged in Yang Yang's mind, including the goalkeeper Feyenoord's goalkeeper's throwing habits. Although there is no data on penalty kicks, it can still be used for reference.

But he still had no idea.

"Penalty kicks are a battle between you and the goalkeeper. In the penalty area, there are only two of you. All you have to do is knock him down."

At this time, Lao Bing can't give many suggestions. He even has no way to tell Yang Yang which penalty area is the most likely to score goals, because the statistics represent the past and have nothing to do with this time's penalty.

Yang Yang also understood in his heart that at this time, he could not rely on anyone but himself.

Looking up at the goalkeeper on the opposite side, the other side is also looking directly at him.

The four eyes met, and the two were speculating on each other's intentions.

The referee finally blew the whistle, and Yang Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After closing his eyes and opening them again, he saw the goal and the goalkeeper in front of him as the city center of Almere, the graffiti wall in the skate park, and every pothole on the wall.

Just like the current goal and the goalkeeper in front of the goal.

He took a light breath, calmed down, jumped out quickly, paused halfway, and then suddenly shot with the instep of his foot, and the ball shot towards the goal at a very fast speed.

Feyenoord's goalkeeper was deceived by Yang Yang's sudden pause and flew to the left, but Yang Yang's penalty kick went straight to the center.

As long as he stood still just now, Yang Yang's ball would fly directly into his arms, but now it's too late to regret.

After scoring the penalty, Yang Yang bit his lower lip hard, clenched his fists with both hands above his head, and turned around to accept congratulations from all his teammates.

"Shoot directly in the middle of the instep, Yang Yang's psychological quality is really strong, and he is bold with high skills."

"It's hard to believe that he is a young player who is only 17 years old. Facing the pressure of penalty kicks, he chose such a way."

"After the goal, Yang Yang looked very calm, but the whole Amsterdam Arena was in a carnival."

"Three to one, Ajax has basically secured the victory."

　Woohoo, this recommendation ticket... Brothers and sisters, isn't it too bleak?Please vote a lot!
