super storm

Chapter 1571 Meeting in a narrow road

Ajax beat Heerenveen [-]-[-], once again detonating Dutch football.

In the same round of the league, Eindhoven drew [-]-[-] away at Eimen, which led to the point gap between Van Bommel's team and Ajax widening to eight points.

The second half of the Eredivisie League has just ignited the war, and the eight-point gap is not irretrievable, but the problem is that Ajax has shown super stability throughout the season and has won [-] consecutive victories. What kind of terrible performance is this?

The Dutch Kyodo Daily wrote an article saying that Yang Yang's team is breaking various historical records in the Eredivisie League. This team is using its powerful and invincible strength to completely defeat all opponents standing in front of them.

"After the 18-[-] home victory over Heerenveen in the No.[-] round, looking back at the first round of the Eredivisie half a year ago, it is not difficult for us to see how much progress Ajax has made. Yang Yang is leading Ajax to complete the transformation and reinject strong vitality into this team."

The Dutch Telegraph also believes that Yang Yang is becoming a legend in the history of Ajax. "He is leading Ajax to a season that may be recorded in history. It may be difficult for other Eredivisie teams to stop Ajax's winning streak."

The Dutch newspaper Volk analyzed the reasons for Ajax's [-]-game winning streak, and believed that Yang Yang's coaching was the key factor, because the team's lineup was basically not much different from last season, but Yang Yang's arrival made the team's results and performance have changed by leaps and bounds.

"Throughout this season, we can see that the progress of Ajax's young players is very obvious. De Ligt and Militao are already the strongest central defender combination in the Eredivisie, and they are very young. Tagliafico and Ashraf have also become Ajax. An important part of the wing attack."

"Although Frankie de Jong and Ndongbele, the double defensive midfielders, have been criticized, they also showed quite good midfield control, not to mention the frontcourt. Yang Yang completely activated the combination of Neres, Jovic, Sancho and Van der Beek."

People's Daily believes that in addition to the main lineup, Ajax's substitute lineup is an indispensable part of the team's persistence in multi-line operations. This is exactly the same as Yang Yang's big rotation strategy when he assisted Zidane in coaching Real Madrid.

"Mullen, Stens, Boadu, Odegaard, Schone, Rosario... These young Ajax players have performed extremely well in the Dutch Cup and the Eredivisie. This makes Ajax the best in the entire Eredivisie regardless of the thickness of the bench or the main lineup of the first team."

People's Daily analyzed that Yang Yang's strategy is very clear, that is to use the period of suspension of the Champions League to try his best to widen the gap in the league, expand his lead, and prepare for the next knockout stage of the Champions League.

……

The famous Dutch football reporter Michel van der Sma is a friend of Yang Yang. He was the first media reporter who went to interview Yang Yang and his family. The two became friends because of this. With the help of Yang Yang’s series of news reports, Van der Sma became a hot gold medalist in the Netherlands.

When the whole world is praising Yang Yang and his Ajax, Van der Sma is analyzing the next situation of Ajax in the column, thinking that Yang Yang is working hard to establish Ajax's play style in the Champions League knockout round.

"This season, Ajax has had very few injuries, thanks to Pintus' training and Winston Bogarde's control. Yang Yang hopes that this situation can continue until the end of the season and minimize the number of players missing games."

"Not only that, as the most successful player in the history of the Champions League, Yang Yang knows better than anyone the difference between the Champions League knockout rounds and the UEFA Champions League group stage. He always firmly believes that if he wants to perform in the Champions League knockout rounds, the most important thing is to have his own explosive point."

"A stable performance and an explosive point that makes it difficult for the opponent to defend, this is the decisive way to win the Champions League knockout round."

"But on these two points, Ajax is not good enough, because the youngest team in the Champions League knockout round is not stable, and the bursts are also not sharp enough."

"Almost the entire winter break training camp, Yang Yang has been working on solving this problem. As for the specific effect, it depends on Ajax's performance in the Champions League knockout round, especially when facing the old enemy Manchester United two years ago."

"Two years ago, in the Europa League final, the disastrous defeat to Manchester United led to the disintegration of Ajax trained by Peter Boss, which in turn caused Ajax to sink. Fortunately, Yang Yang made a shot at a critical moment."

"Two years later, the former enemy team will meet again on a narrow road. Who will have the last laugh?"

…………

…………

Three days after finishing the No.18 round of the Eredivisie, Ajax ushered in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup.

The opponent was still Heerenveen.

The two teams had just fought hard at the Cruyff Stadium, and after three days, they fought again at the same place.

Yang Yang has carried out a lot of rotation on the team, but the overall performance has not diminished at all.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Mazraoui's quick back-up, received a wonderful pass from Odegaard, scored in the penalty area, and opened the scoring for Ajax.

In 6 and [-] minutes, Van der Beek made another move to establish an advantage for Ajax.

No.308 minutes, the assist from Mullen allowed Van der Beek to score twice, helping Ajax seal the victory.

Heerenveen didn't get a goal back from Van Amersfoort until the No.804 minute, saving face.

It is worth mentioning that this 22-year-old high center forward is also from Almere.

The emergence of superstars like Yang Yang back then had a great impact on Almere. This Ajax satellite team also adjusted its management direction appropriately and made efforts in the youth training. In recent years, many young rookies have indeed emerged. Van Amosford is one, and Rosario in the Ajax team is also one.

……

In addition to Ajax beating Heerenveen, Feyenoord beat Fortunastad [-]-[-].

Alkmaar beat Vitesse [-]-[-] and Willem II beat Twente [-]-[-].

After the draw, Ajax's opponent in the Dutch Cup semi-finals is Feyenoord.

This also made the entire Netherlands unanimously determined that the Dutch Cup final will be staged in advance, and whoever can advance to the final between Ajax and Feyenoord will become the number one favorite to win the championship.

Ajax is undoubtedly the real favorite, but it is not without hidden dangers, because in the week before playing Feyenoord, Ajax will smash Manchester United in the Champions League, but Feyenoord will challenge Eindhoven away in the league on the weekend.

Therefore, both sides have their own difficulties, and the key depends on who can resolve them better.

What's interesting is that the Dutch Cup semi-final is still a month away, but the duel between Ajax and Feyenoord has quietly started.

…………

…………

On the afternoon of January 27th, in the No.19 round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Feyenoord away.

In just 8 minutes of the opening, Ndombele opened the scoring for Ajax.

The opening attack as always, the sharp offensive as always, the high-position pressing and oppression that was better than the first half...

All of these made Feyenoord completely confused by Ajax from the beginning.

Then the game completely entered the rhythm of Ajax.

No. In the 16th minute, Van der Beek scored a goal for Ajax, further expanding the lead, two to zero.

In the 301st minute, Jovic turned and volleyed after receiving a pass from Van der Beek, [-]-[-].

Just 2 minutes later, Sancho shot a wonderful curve ball to further expand the score for Ajax, four to zero.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Feyenoord finally couldn't bear to make substitutions in midfield.

Veteran van Persie replaced Jorgensen, obviously wanting to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense.

After Van Persie transferred from Fenerbahce to Feyenoord in January [-], his performance was not bad, but his appearance was not stable enough. In the first round against Ajax, he missed due to injury and failed to play.

Tonight, he was expected to come off the bench in the second half.

But not long after the opening, Jovic once again broke Feyenoord's goal with a wonderful volley, and the assister was still Van der Beek.

In 6 minutes, with an assist from Van der Beek, Jovic scored a hat-trick.

With this assist, the Ajax midfielder once again staged a hat-trick of assists.

Six to zero, Ajax seemed to have seen a big victory again.

But in the closing stages of the game, in the No.70 and No.804 minutes, Van Persie scored twice and used two goals to save Feyenoord.

Even though he is a 35-year-old veteran, Van Persie is still as chic and elegant as before. He still takes the ball and stops it calmly. Coupled with his rich experience in the game, he can handle the two central defenders of Ajax with ease.

The game eventually ended with a score of [-]-[-], with Ajax scoring precious three points away.

But as soon as the game ended, Yang Yang took the initiative to walk towards Van Persie.

He has some friendship with the Dutch veteran. They played together in the Premier League back then, but now that they met, Yang Yang's first words were thanks, "Thank you very much for helping me train two central defenders!"

Van Persie was a little depressed. When he first played, he was really confused by the two central defenders of Ajax. But fortunately, he has rich experience and quickly figured out their way, and quickly adjusted his own style of play. Only then did he score twice in the closing stage.

Of course, passing and support from teammates are also inseparable.

More importantly, in the final stage of the game, Ajax's pressing and pressing were obviously a little bit powerless.

"In the last 15 minutes, your physical fitness is still a problem." Van Persie said sharply.

Yang Yang nodded, why didn't he know?

Players are living, flesh-and-blood people, not robots. How can they play nine or ten minutes at full power?
Not to mention the situation with a six-to-zero lead.

Lax and careless, this is a taboo for professional players.

The reason why Yang Yang thanked Van Persie was really not just polite words, but he really felt that Van Persie's two goals deserved Ajax's attention. After returning, he would use these two goals to beat his own players.

If you can't maintain your concentration for 10 minutes, it will be difficult to move forward in the Champions League knockout round.

Even, don't expect to beat Manchester United!
