Chapter 155 Three to Zero

When preparing for the game, Ajax focused on offside tactics and high pressing.

Among them, a very important part of the high-position pressing is to cut off Monaco's lateral pass, which is an important means of passing and controlling the Ligue [-] team. As long as their horizontal connection is cut off, Monaco's offensive organization will be greatly affected.

It should be said that the entire set of targeted tactics formulated by the Ajax coaching staff before the game has played an effective role.

At No. 607 minutes, Ajax once again intercepted the opponent's lateral pass in the middle.

Maxwell suddenly went up, cut off the pass to Giuly, quickly dribbled forward, and directly launched a counterattack along the left. After being countered by the Monaco players, he quickly passed it to Van der Vaart in the middle.

The captain of Ajax was also closely marked by the opponent. After receiving the ball, he failed to go straight forward. He was forced to turn around to protect the ball and pass it across to Sneijder, who sent the ball straight to the right without stopping.

After Yang Yang stopped Sneijder's pass on the right, he saw Trabelsi deliberately pressing up. He took the initiative to lead to the inside, and then suddenly split to the bottom line. Ajax's right back quickly sprinted and caught up with Yang Yang's pass.

But this time, Monaco's left-back Evra also reacted very quickly, chasing Trabelsi all the way, preventing him from having the opportunity to pass directly and cut inside, forcing Trabelsi to stop suddenly on the right side of the penalty area and pass the ball back.

Yang Yang stopped the ball behind Trabelsi and looked up at the penalty area.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic happened to be standing between the two Monaco central defenders Julien Rodriguez and Squillac, but he pointed to the position behind him, which was obviously hinting at Yang Yang to pass this position.

Yang Yang did not wait for Monaco's defensive players to force him up, adjusted a bit, and made a long pass directly.

The ball was pressed low and fast, and it was passed directly to the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area.

……

"Ajax's attack from the right, Trabelsi had no chance and passed back to Yang Yang."

"Yang Yang adjusted, passed the ball low and flat to the penalty area, and looked for Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

"Ibrahimovic blocked two Monaco central defenders with his body, stopped the ball, turned around and hit the goal directly!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 608 minutes, No. 608 minutes, Ajax scored the second shot of the game!"

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the super giant from Sweden, scored a fantastic goal."

"We can see from the slow-motion playback that Yang Yang's cross landed very well, and it happened to land near Zlatan Ibrahimovic's right foot, while the Swedish center stopped the ball directly to his left, blocked Julien Rodriguez and Squillac with his body, turned around and shot directly."

"The shot came very suddenly, and Loma obviously didn't expect it. Ibrahimovic was able to turn around and hit the goal amidst the attack of two central defenders. This fully reflects the super personal ability of the Swedish center."

"Of course, Yang Yang, who just came off the bench, made a very accurate pass from the right. At the moment he made the pass, I seemed to see Beckham. It is said that Yang Yang once practiced crossing from the side to the video of Beckham."

……

After Ibrahimovic scored the goal, he rushed out of the penalty area excitedly, quickly grabbed Yang Yang's hand, and the two rushed to the sidelines side by side, cheering and applauding to the fans in the stands.

Two to zero!
Ajax scored the second goal of the game.

The carnival Ajax fans kept shouting the names of Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang, and the head coach Ronald Koeman on the sidelines also raised his hands and applauded non-stop.

None of them thought that Yang Yang would be able to help the team make another victory just after playing.

Who would have thought?
Even Yang Yang himself couldn't think of it.

In the goal just now, Yang Yang's cross basically fell within the control of Ibrahimovic's right foot, but what really played a decisive role was the Swedish center's stop and turn-around shot.

Being able to perform such an outstanding performance in the pincer attack of two central defenders, there is no other person in the Ajax team except Zlatan Ibrahimovic who can do it.

…………

…………

After conceding the ball again, Monaco looked a little impatient and began to try to counterattack.

After all, just now they have created dangerous situations in front of Ajax's goal many times in a row, and they are only one step away from scoring.

Ajax began to stabilize the defense and focus on counterattacks.

Less than 6 minutes after the second goal, when Monaco attacked the frontcourt, the pass was intercepted by Garasek, and Sneijder directly found Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt with a long pass.

The Swedish center forward dribbled the ball forward, and the Ajax trident was activated at the same time, quickly forming a three-on-three frontcourt, especially Yang Yang on the right. After Evra stepped forward to participate in the attack, his side was basically empty.

Ibrahimovic knew that his dribbling speed was slow, so he immediately sent the ball to the right. Yang Yang quickly dribbled the ball to the right side of Monaco's penalty area.

Three to zero!
The entire Amsterdam Arena was completely transformed into a sea of ​​celebration.

All the fans can't imagine that in less than 10 minutes, Ajax scored two goals in a row, and both goals came from the cooperation of Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic, which is too surprising.

"Monaco's overall strength is indeed inferior to Ajax. The Eredivisie giants' players are slightly better in terms of experience and strength. They scored in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season and performed quite eye-catchingly. The team lineup has not changed much. It's just that Qiwu has become Escuder on the back line, and Van der Meyde has become Yang Yang on the right wing."

"For two consecutive seasons in the Champions League, Ajax's group of young players have shown amazing strength, especially van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. These two ace stars have shown their huge potential. I believe that in time, they will definitely become the first-tier players in Europe, even top stars."

"Of course, Deschamps and his Monaco don't need to be depressed. It's only the first round now, and the two sides have a second round to play. Back at home, they still have a chance. It's just that they should get out of the shadow of the zero-to-three defeat as soon as possible and rebuild the team's morale."

…………

…………

In the chairman's stand of the Amsterdam Arena, the coach of the Chinese national team, Ali Han, is also paying close attention to the movement of Ajax, especially after Yang Yang came on the field, he clearly saw the change of Ajax's right-sided attack.

"This is a set of tactics that is very suitable for him to take advantage of." Alihan's vision is very vicious.

Van Gaal, who was sitting next to him, nodded, "That's right, speed advantage and dribbling impact are his forte, so in the team's tactics now, he basically uses his own advantages, someone passes him the ball, let him dribble the ball, and someone else catches his pass and converts it into a shot."

It's not that Ajax tailor-made this set of tactics for Yang Yang, but that Yang Yang played the role of Van der Meyde who does not enter the penalty area, and Yang Yang's cross is better than Van der Meyer's.

Because of this, Ajax can always perform very well after Yang Yang came off the bench, and the team's offense is very smooth, because the team has polished this set of tactics for two or three seasons. Ronald Koeman has been practicing repeatedly since he took office, and the players are very familiar with it.

As the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, and finally lost to the champion AC Milan, Ajax's overall strength is unquestionable, not to mention that the players are one year older than last season, more competitive and outstanding.

The problem in the first half was that Van der Meyde left the team. No one could take his class. Trabelsi left the team and was banned, which directly caused the team's entire right to collapse.

But after adjusting, especially after Yang Yang took the lead, the team basically continued to use the mature style of play of the previous two seasons, and the results in the second half of the season soared immediately.

Needless to say Ibrahimovic's strength, Wesley Songk is the Golden Boot of the league. There is no doubt about the scoring ability and striker lethality of these two players.

Trabelsi on both wings has been shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or and is known as the top right back in Europe. Maxwell is also known as Roberto Carlos II. Ajax's lineup has an overall strength that surpasses that of Monaco.

It was very embarrassing when they played against Arsenal and Real Madrid, but against Monaco, especially after Yang Yang came on in the second half, this is the real performance of Ajax.

"He has a very good understanding with that high center forward." De Young also saw the clue from the side.

Van Gaal also explained with a smile: "The two of them are best friends. They live opposite each other. They usually practice together. The tacit understanding is really good. Besides crossing from the wing, Yang Yang's corner kicks and free kicks are also of a certain level."

Arihan and Dejan exchanged glances, and they both began to understand why Yang Yang could be reused in Ajax.

In addition to their own strength factors, this set of tactics suitable for Ajax is also an important factor, and Ajax's use of Yang Yang also provides them with a good idea. Next, it depends on whether the national team can make good use of Yang Yang's sharp knife.

If used well, I am afraid that no one can stop him in the Asian Cup.

But Alihan's problems in the national team are not just breakthroughs from the wing, but also scoring goals.

The striker doesn't score, which has always been a problem that has plagued him.
