Chapter 212 Achilles' heel

On the evening of August 22, Amsterdam Arena.

When the game progressed to No. 12 minutes, Breda, who was playing away, quickly counterattacked after a midfield interception.

Right-winger Annuir Diba quickly went straight behind the Ajax defense, used his speed to forcefully break through Vermaelen, and then made a low pass into the penalty area.

Zero to one!

The entire Amsterdam Arena was in an uproar.

All the Ajax fans were amazed.

After the opening game, the home team launched waves of attacks towards Breda. Yang Yang was very active on the right, creating opportunities frequently, convincing everyone that the team was not far from scoring.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, it was Breda who scored.

This made all the Ajax fans in the stands feel incredible and somewhat disappointed.

Not only the fans, but even the Ajax players on the field looked a little frustrated.

Especially Vermaelen, who bears the brunt.

It's hard to say how much responsibility Vermaelen should bear for the goal just now, because when the offensive player speeds up, the defensive player is very passive, and Vermaelen was directly eaten by himself. There is really nothing to say.

But who cares about these?

In the last round, the team's defense didn't perform well, and they were almost equalized by Twente. This home court was beaten...

It is entirely conceivable how depressed Vermaelen was.

…………

…………

"This conceded goal came very suddenly, Ajax should now stabilize their position as soon as possible."

"We can see that Ronald Koeman is also constantly calling on the players to remain calm on the sidelines."

"Now the game has just started, it is not terrible to concede a goal, but if you mess up, it is very dangerous."

"The Breda players looked excited and this goal boosted their morale a lot."

"Lockhoff's team started the season very well. They faced Utrecht at home in the first match, and evened the score twice. In the end, with Diba's goal, they reversed Utrecht and won the first victory of the season."

"And now it seems that he has made enough preparations for tonight's away game against Ajax. After the opening, the defense was in place. Taking advantage of Ajax's major reorganization in the summer and the loss of core players, he took the opportunity to seize the opportunity to score goals."

"It should be said that the game has gone on for about ten minutes so far, and Rockhoff's tactics have worked."

"Now it's up to Ronald Koeman and Ajax to react."

…………

…………

Rockhoff was so excited that he almost jumped up when he saw Cornerisse put the ball into the goal.

This goal came too suddenly, too surprising.

"I just said, Ajax this season is really not good!" Rockhoff laughed.

"Since the preseason, I have been paying attention to their movements. The five core main players were taken away in one breath, which had a great impact on their overall strength. The newly introduced players were either too young or failed to integrate in time..."

When Rockhoff said this, he paused for a moment, and his eyes flashed a stern look, "But most importantly, this team has lost its core, and at the same time lost the core players of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart. They began to not know how to play football."

The assistant next to him also kept nodding, "Ajax is too young."

Last season, Ajax's average age was only 22 years old. It is almost a miracle to win the Champions League at this age. However, after losing five core players in succession, Ajax's average age has dropped again.

Eindhoven also left Kežman and Robben, but their entire midfield has basically remained unchanged, and the average age of the team has increased, which has brought stability to Eindhoven.

As for Ajax, all the transfer income this summer has been used to repay debts, and there is no investment in the transfer market at all. Even if Charisteas was introduced, it only cost 300 million euros.

The Greek center never played at Werder Bremen and only exploded in the European Cup.

Rockhoff is full of ambition now, because the start of the game completely quoted his previous inference, that is, as long as Breda does not make mistakes, Ajax will definitely mess up. This is a common problem of young teams.

Then, next, Breda should appropriately increase the pressure on the opponent.

Killing Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena, defeating the European champions in the first home upset of the new season, and winning two consecutive victories at the beginning, these temptations made Rockhoff very excited. He immediately walked to the sidelines and kept conveying his thoughts to the players on the field.

He is going to win!
…………

…………

Like everyone else, Yang Yang's mood is also a little depressed.

He now has the feeling of being robbed on his wedding day, very depressed and full of anger.

After selling five core players, Ajax's overall strength has indeed declined a lot, but no matter what, it will not be reduced to being humiliated by a team like Breda at its own home court.

What made Yang Yang even more annoyed was that after losing the ball, his teammates did not show the momentum to counterattack. On the contrary, the visiting team Breda pressed hard, and even came up with the idea of ​​trying to score more goals when Ajax was in trouble.

And Ajax's position is indeed a bit messy.

After re-kick-off, the ball was lost without two or three passes.

Breda pressed the line of defense to near the center line, which meant to spread out and attack Ajax's penalty area again.

The head coach Koeman on the sidelines was a little nervous, and he kept calling on the players to calm down and push the defense forward as much as possible.

Yang Yang knew very well in his heart that he must not let his opponent continue to play like this.

With a decision in his mind, Yang Yang immediately moved his area of ​​activity closer to the middle, and at the same time expanded his range of activities. He aimed at the two midfielders of Breda, Marchel Corning and David Mendes da Silva.

Among the information provided by Ajax scouts before the game, Corning was not the first choice for Breda's delayed midfielder. Rockhoff's original preference was Englar, who was also the number one contributor to Breda's [-]-[-] home reversal of Utrecht.

When Utrecht scored a goal in just 5 minutes, it was Engelal who stepped forward and equalized the score for the home team in just 1 minute, and his performance in the second half was also quite good.

But after that game, Engelal moved to the Belgian Genk team for 100 million euros.

The reason is simple, the Dutch midfielder wants to play in European competitions.

In this case, Rockhoff can only hastily arrange Machel Koning as the team's late midfielder.

Before the game, Yang Yang had obtained detailed information from Luther Carroll. Breda's midfielders were basically tall, strong and powerful players. This was the case with Marcel Corning and Engelal, as well as David Mendes da Silva.

Among them, Machel Koning's pass success rate is very low, David Mendes da Silva's foot skills are not good, and David Mendes da Silva just transferred from Rotterdam Sparta not long ago, so the cooperation must be rusty.

The head coach Ronald Koeman had already reminded the players in detail before the game that they should make good use of this.

Now is the opportunity.

Yang Yang made a decision, and immediately gestured towards Sneijder and Pienaar.

They played football together for a year. Although I dare not say how well they cooperate with each other, they can understand each other's intentions for some gestures, signals and winks on the field.

…………

…………

After stealing the ball, Breda tentatively passed the ball to the frontcourt, but there was no chance, so he was forced to pass back and reorganize.

When the ball returned to the midfield, Pienaar immediately pressed forward and actively participated in the press. The first to bear the brunt was Machel Koning.

Having just received the ball from the centre-back, Machel Koning was under pressure from Pienaar before he could stop.

After turning around to protect the ball, he lightly crossed it to the 22-year-old teammate who raised his hand to ask for the ball.

David Mendes da Silva was facing the direction the ball was coming from, but he didn't notice Yang Yang who was quietly approaching behind him.

By the time the Breda players realized the danger and sounded a reminder, Yang Yang had already taken a step ahead.

The Dutch midfielder is close to 1.9 meters tall, with a strong body and a big body. He is taller and bigger than Yang Yang, but his flexibility is far inferior. He originally wanted to stop the ball and face the attacking direction directly, but he did not expect Yang Yang to steal the ball directly when he stopped the ball.

The ball touched Yang Yang's left foot and bounced to the back of the Breda midfielder, forming a frontcourt steal.

……

"Ajax steal the ball up front."

"Yang Yang moved forward with the ball, very fast, Ajax's counterattack."

"Pinall in the center and Wesley Songk in the left also quickly advanced forward, forming a three-on-three frontcourt."

"Breda's central defender went up to grab, but Yang Yang's speed still didn't slow down, and the ball was passed..."

"Beautiful! Yang Yang rushed into the penalty area with the ball and directly faced the goalkeeper..."

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 14 minutes, Ajax equalized the score, one to one!"

"Breda took the lead for only two minutes before Ajax managed to equalize."

"Yang Yang, a wonderful goal from Yang Yang."

"After successfully stealing the ball near the center line, he dribbled the ball all the way for 40 meters and successfully scored the ball."

"This is undoubtedly a very morale-boosting goal."

……

The moment Yang Yang succeeded in stealing the ball, he felt as if his body was burning.

After scoring the goal, he did not turn around to celebrate, but quickly rushed to Breda's goal, grabbed the ball before the opponent's goalkeeper, ran back to the center line quickly, threw the football in the center circle, and returned to his own half.

He has seized Breda's deathbed!

Since the opponent wants to kill Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena, he has to let him see if he has the strength.

Ajax is weak, but not so weak that any team can bully them.

……

"Yang Yang seemed to have a lot of fighting spirit. He didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, but quickly brought the ball back to the center circle."

"The fans at the scene were very excited and were chanting his name."

"He's telling all the players, all the fans in this way that the game has only just begun."
