Chapter 1537 He is going to play!
Beat Bayern Munich away?
If such a statement was made before the game, everyone would find it impossible, or even sneer.

Because the difference between the two teams is too great.

Bayern Munich is one of the strongest teams in European football today. It is known as a top team that can compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. What about Ajax?

This is nothing more than a low-level Eredivisie team. They haven't even made it to the Champions League group stage for many years.

With such a team, what can they use to fight Bayern Munich?
Even before the game, many German media were speculating, how many goals will Bayern Munich win tonight?
Because they not only consider winning, but also earning enough goal difference.

But in the game, they found that the situation was not as they thought.

Bayern Munich's real good goal only played for ten minutes, and then it became Ajax's counterattack game.

This team from the Eredivisie, proactively adopts high-position pressing and pressing, without any timidity and retreat. When counterattacking, it adopts fast ground passing and cutting cooperation. It can always send the ball to Bayern Munich within 30 meters within two or three passes, and then create threats through the fast running of the frontcourt players.

After tying the score 20-[-], this young team, whose average age is not even [-] years old, unexpectedly exploded with amazing fighting spirit and performed very excitedly on the court.

Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of ball possession rate, they seem to be better than Bayern Munich on the scene, especially in terms of creating threats, and several young players also shine frequently.

This made the fans in the stands stunned.

Is this still the rumored big team Ajax?

"What kind of magic did Yang Yang cast on this team?"

Bayern Munich chairman Rummenigge shook his head in disbelief, surprised by the situation on the field.

This completely overturned his pre-match expectations about the trend of the game, because in his opinion, Bayern Munich should have completely dominated the game, killing Ajax with no power to fight back. Why now, it seems that Bayern Munich is quite dangerous.

Van Gaal used to be the head coach of Bayern Munich, and tonight he led the team as the technical director of Ajax. At this moment, he was invited to sit next to Rummenigge.

After hearing the words of the Bayern Munich chairman, Van Gaal chuckled, "Yang Yang is not a magician, he has injected his football philosophy into this team, but unfortunately they are still too young."

If it weren't for his youth, Ajax would have scored two goals by now.

Whether it's Jovic's shot or Neres' missed header, it's a pity.

But young teams are like this, flashes and mistakes always coexist.

Didn't someone say that?
Young people are always maturing by making mistakes.

Rummenigge has reservations about Van Gaal's words. He believes that even if Ajax's players are more mature, they may not be able to score even one more goal in Bayern Munich, because the Bundesliga team is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

But one thing is certain, that is, Robben and Ribery are indeed old.

Except for the two opening shots, Robben basically failed to create a threat for the rest of the time, and Ribery was similar.

Yang Yang himself is a veteran, so he knows how to limit Robben and Ribery.

Interestingly, what other teams in the Bundesliga tried their best to do, and sometimes even did not hesitate to use two defensive players to do it, Yang Yang accomplished it with one person.

"It's really not simple." Rummenigge praised, which is a recognition of Yang Yang's coaching ability.

"But to be honest, how long can your high-position press last?"

Klopp's Dortmund and Liverpool both claim to have only six and 10 minutes of physical fitness, so what about Ajax?
Van Gaal smiled, "It looks a bit like Klopp, a bit like Simeone, and a bit like Guardiola...Yang Yang never does that kind of thing. As far as I know, the physical consumption of the players is actually not as great as we think. It's like Simeone's team can last 10 minutes."

When Rummenigge heard this, his face froze immediately.

If this is the case, then the situation may be a bit bad.

Van Gaal is right. Ajax’s high-position press is similar to that of Klopp, Simeone and Guardiola, and then back to Benitez, and even the Argentine coach Cooper who coached Valencia earlier, reached the Champions League final twice, and led the trend of double midfielders in European football.

Although each has its own advantages and disadvantages, Ajax is very different from them.

The physical consumption is less than that of Klopp, and he can persist in the game for a longer time; the passing and cutting style is smoother and more delicate than Simeone, and he can play more exciting and complex coordination; the counterattack is faster and sharper than Guardiola, and he never blindly controls the ball; the midfielder is more flexible than Benitez, and his tactics are more flexible and changeable...

Compared with these coaches and teams of the same type, Yang Yang's Ajax has its own advantages and some disadvantages, but integrated into the current team that restricts Bayern Munich to death at the Allianz Arena.

Even Yang Yang's Ajax is completely different from when he was in Real Madrid.

The team co-coached by Zidane and Yang Yang often even shrinks the defense to keep the lineup compact, but Yang Yang always insists on pressing at a high position and never conceding an inch. This...

Rummenigge suddenly discovered that this may not be Yang Yang's idea, but because Ajax is too young.

In this way, Yang Yang may not have a fixed idea, but tailor his clothes like Ancelotti.

"Interesting, really interesting!" Rummenigge laughed.

Although the outcome of the game is related to Bayern Munich's Champions League trip, as the chairman of the club, Rummenigge is still very happy to see young people like Yang Yang appear.

Especially with such a young superstar!

The first half ended with a one-to-one handshake.

The pace of the game was fast, with Bayern Munich in control of the ball and Ajax creating a threat with high pressing and quick counter-attacks. They also created a few good chances, but they couldn't continue to score.

During the intermission, Yang Yang affirmed the team's performance in the first half, and also gave the direction for the second half.

"Bayern Munich's defense was clumsy and sluggish, as if they were stuck on the grass."

"In the first half, we didn't handle it well in many cases. I hope everyone pays attention to it. In the second half, after we reach the frontcourt, we have to play fast. The sides and the center can fall back and forth."

"Everyone should not confine themselves. Van der Beek can be pulled to the side, Sancho and Neres can return to the center, or even return to the midfield, Ndombele and Frankie de Jong can also go forward, Jovic can pull the side and retreat..."

"To put it simply, after the ball reaches the frontcourt, let it flow. Wherever there is a gap, we will drill there, and we will only pick the weakest and weakest link of the opponent to play."

"They are heavy, we are light; they are slow, we are fast."

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. As long as you fight back immediately after losing the ball, as long as all of you are willing to invest in defense, then the mistakes are nothing at all. Isn't it just a few points of ball possession? Whoever wants to take it, we want to score goals, and we must have threatening goals!"

Later, Yang Yang focused on analyzing the goals and conceded goals in the first half.

Goals are a typical product of the combination of side and center, and it can even be said to be a model of Yang Yang's offensive thinking. He hopes that the team will stick to this set of thinking and this style of play.

As for conceding goals, Yang Yang did not name Militao, because apart from that opening error, the Brazilian central defender was remarkable the rest of the time, especially the defense against Lewandowski, Robben and Thomas Muller several times.

"We played the first half of this game. I believe everyone has seen that even if we face Bayern Munich, we still have a chance, so the most important thing in the second half is to continue to stabilize and don't give the opponent a chance!"

"Be calm when attacking, don't rush, we are not afraid of taking risks, we are not afraid of making mistakes, because as long as we succeed in one attempt, the opponent is finished."

…………

…………

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, neither team made any substitutions.

Bayern Munich still adopts that style of play, and Kovac has no good way to face Ajax's tactics.

Perhaps because of the home game, Bayern Munich attacked again after the start of the second half, and even invested more troops on the offensive end.

In the first wave of attack at the beginning, Bayern Munich even invested eight players in the frontcourt, leaving only two central defenders behind.

Kovac's intention to win is very strong, but sometimes, problems cannot be solved with a large number of people.

Especially on the pitch.

Bayern Munich invested more troops, but in the absence of effective formation, it appeared bloated.

Robben and Ribery still failed to create a threat, which caused Kovac to replace them successively in the No. 60 minute.

Franck Ribery contributed very little in the game, and Robben made no contribution except for the two opening threats.

After all, they are all old.

……

On the court, Bayern Munich controlled the ball in a cage, but it was difficult to create a threat.

Ajax worked hard to maintain their defense. With physical exhaustion, they had to gradually withdraw the pressing area and could no longer maintain the high position in the first half. This also made the home team's advantage look more obvious.

However, Bayern Munich still can't find an effective offensive method.

Even after the substitution, Bayern Munich's offense still did not improve.

There was a stalemate on the scene, which lasted for about ten minutes.

It was not until the No.705 minute that Ajax decided to make the first substitution adjustment.

The fans at the scene didn't pay attention, and the audience in front of the TV didn't see it, but when the director suddenly switched to the Ajax bench, everyone was surprised at first.

But then, they were all shocked!
Because they saw that Yang Yang took off his long-sleeved sportswear, revealing the Ajax jersey.

He is going to play!
