Chapter 1552 The sky in Madrid is falling!
Ajax narrowly defeated Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-] at home, once again shocked the whole world.

Don't look at Tottenham Hotspur's three matches and three losses in the first three games of the Champions League group stage. It seems that they are not strong, but in European football, no one would dare to think so, because Pochettino's team has never been a good stubble.

In the past three seasons, Tottenham Hotspur ranked third, second and third respectively in the Premier League. The overall strength can be described as quite stable, and it is already ranked first in the Premier League. Although Tottenham Hotspur only ranked fifth in the Premier League this season, their [-]-[-] victory over Manchester United in an away game can be described as a classic battle.

There is no doubt that Pochettino's team is strong, but in the Champions League group stage they encountered teams like Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, and it is quite understandable to lose.

Originally, in everyone's eyes, Tottenham Hotspur's match against Ajax should be stable, but what they didn't expect was that the two teams would end up with a score of four to three. More importantly, this was a fast-paced and high-confrontation match that lasted nine to 10 minutes, which was exciting to watch.

The score of [-] to [-] is very intuitive to see the situation of the two teams, especially Ajax.

Yang Yang was the best player in this game, with two passes and one shot, he once again surprised everyone, but what was even more surprising was the young guards he trained. After the match against Tottenham Hotspur, Ajax actually had the last laugh, which is indeed surprising.

The Times reported after the game Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino's comments in the post-match press conference, he believes that Ajax is not like the outside world, and it is not a weak team.

"This is a team full of fighting spirit, which is admirable. At the same time, all of them play closely around Yang Yang, which makes them look like an impenetrable fortress."

"We have tried our best, but it is a pity that the opponent has a superstar of Yang Yang's level."

Pochettino’s remarks also basically expressed the impression of the outside media and fans on this Ajax team, that is, Yang Yang is the soul, the key, and the core combat effectiveness, but Yang Yang aside, Ajax is also a very young team with great strength and potential, and the future is worth looking forward to.

……

Ajax narrowly beat Tottenham Hotspur four to three, and the Dutch media were the happiest.

The famous Dutch football columnist Michel van der Sma spoke highly of Yang Yang in his column, believing that his arrival and coaching have brought about earth-shaking changes to Ajax.

"If you just watch the game, who would have thought that this season's Ajax lineup is basically the same as last season. Even if it is signings, it is only the introduction of a right back Ashraf, and the central defender Militao is more to fill the vacancy left by Vobel."

Van der Sma believes that the real reason for Ajax's outbreak is Yang Yang.

"He is the idol of all Ajax people. They watched him play football and grew up listening to his legend since they were young. This makes Yang Yang have extraordinary prestige and charisma in this Ajax team, making it more logical for him to take over the team."

Van der Sima analyzed the difference between the two seasons of Ajax from the tactical level, and believed that Yang Yang brought more advanced technical and tactical concepts, which Peter Boss and Keizer and others did not have.

"Yang Yang coaching Ajax is like Guardiola coaching Barcelona back then!"

Van der Sima also revealed that the technical and tactical concepts brought by Yang Yang are constantly transforming Ajax.

"In fact, the management headed by Yang Yang has achieved great success in the transformation of Ajax. This is an achievement that all Ajax managers have failed to achieve in the past few years."

"Not to mention anything else, just talk about the youth team. Before the new leadership took charge of the team, Ajax's youth team was only ranked in the middle of the Dutch second league, and even close to relegation several times, which made people very worried. At that time, many people believed that Ajax was losing its excellent youth training tradition."

"But after the new leadership team was in place, coupled with Yang Yang's capital injection, Ajax made drastic reforms to the youth training. Yang Yang injected a new football concept into Ajax and brought this traditional giant back to life."

"In just one season, the Ajax youth team has transformed from a middle-lower team to a runner-up team in the Dutch second division. If it weren't for the league rules, they are fully capable of competing for the qualification. Last season, this team even won the championship in the Dutch second league, which shocked everyone."

"In the youth team at that time, there appeared a group of young players with outstanding strength and potential, such as De Ligt, De Jong, Sancho, Rosario, Stens, Boadu and Mullen. They were either from Ajax's direct youth training, or they were high-quality players introduced by Ajax halfway through."

"Now, the key players of the Ajax second team have continuously entered the first team to fill the vacancies in the past two seasons when the team lost stars one after another, ensuring that the competitiveness of the Ajax first team will not decrease. Even after Yang Yang coached the team this season, Ajax's overall strength has exploded."

Van der Sma said that the outstanding performance of the Ajax youth team is inseparable from Yang Yang's capital injection, because it was precisely Yang Yang's timely assistance at a critical moment that saved Ajax in trouble and brought a new football concept to the team.

"After the three group games, Ajax ranked first in the group with seven points, while Bayern Munich defeated Inter Milan [-]-[-] at home and came second with six points, Inter Milan ranked third with four points, and Tottenham Hotspur regrettably lost three games in a row and came to the bottom of the group standings."

"Although it is temporarily at the top of the list, the situation of Ajax is still not optimistic, especially when the opponent's strength is clearly superior. Ajax must strive to achieve results in the remaining three games, so as to ensure that they qualify from the group stage."

"It will be Ajax coming out of the Champions League group stage again after a 12-year absence."

…………

…………

If it is said that Ajax's performance in the Champions League is shocking, then Real Madrid, the overlord of the Champions League for five consecutive times, is equally unbelievable in the new season.

After the opening three consecutive victories, Real Madrid's performance has become very sluggish.

Lost to Sevilla [-]-[-] away, drew [-]-[-] at home with Atletico Madrid, lost [-]-[-] away to Alaves, lost [-]-[-] at home to Levante, and lost [-]-[-] away to CSKA in the Champions League...

Since September, Real Madrid's performance has been unbelievable, because this dominant team that once swept Europa has suddenly become a weak lamb, and it seems that anyone can go forward to bully him.

After nine rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid ranked seventh in La Liga with four wins, two draws and three losses. This is Real Madrid's worst record in the past ten years. It also made all media reporters and fans realize the importance of Yang Yang to this Real Madrid team.

As Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of AS, said in a column, "When we had Yang Yang, we never felt how happy we were. Until now, when we lost him, we suddenly realized that the sky in Madrid has collapsed!"

Not only Alfredo, but also major media and professionals in Europe and the world all mentioned Yang Yang when they commented on Real Madrid. They believed that the problem that Real Madrid has now is that no one in the whole team can fill the vacancy left by Yang Yang.

De La Morena, the gold medal host of Serre Radio, believes that the whole world has underestimated the importance of Yang Yang to Real Madrid, including Real Madrid's management and technical team. "Everyone has always thought that Yang Yang's contribution to Real Madrid is mainly in terms of scoring and offense. But judging from the current situation, we are all wrong."

"After Yang Yang left Real Madrid, he coached Ajax and led the Eredivisie team to a sudden rise. In the Champions League, they defeated Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur, and drew with Inter Milan, which amazed the entire European football world."

"On the other hand, Real Madrid, after losing Yang Yang, seems to have been emptied of their souls, completely turned into a walking dead, completely messed up, and the head coach Lopetegui can't come up with any effective solutions."

De La Morena suggested, "Real Madrid's management should start to think about it seriously, although please go back to Yang Yang!"

Even in Real Madrid's [-]-[-] victory over Pilsen at home, Real Madrid fans held up a huge photo of Yang Yang in the stands of the Bernabéu Stadium in a high-profile way to express their nostalgia for Yang Yang and called on the management to please return Yang Yang.

The team's record is not good, not only the head coach Lopetegui is shaken, the technical director Valdano is also facing a crisis of trust, and even the chairman Florentino feels the huge pressure from fans and members.

The next weekend will be an away game against Barcelona, ​​ushering in the first century derby of the new season.

It is revealed that if Real Madrid can't win Barcelona away, or can't get out of the way, the head coach Lopetegui will be dismissed, and even the technical director Valdano may be forced to take the blame and resign.

By that time, Real Madrid will usher in a major earthquake.

But in Madrid, in Valdebebas, the nostalgia for Yang Yang is increasing day by day, especially as Yang Yang led Ajax to emerge in the Champions League. His amazing performance made Real Madrid miss him, and even all Real Madrid fans around the world. The calls for Real Madrid management to sign Yang Yang back are also getting louder.

It was in this atmosphere that Ajax and Real Madrid ushered in a focus battle.

Ajax hosts Feyenoord at home, while Real Madrid challenge Barcelona away.
