Chapter 238 Difficulties

Almost at the moment the whistle sounded, the entire Phillips Stadium completely boiled.

Thirty-five thousand Eindhoven fans uttered their voices together.

After the referee Dick van Egmond blew his whistle, he quickly ran into the penalty area of ​​PSV, ran to the front of Brazilian defender Alex, reached into his chest pocket, and held up a scarlet card.

In an instant, the Eindhoven fans were blown away.

"Referee Van Egmond showed Alex the red card!"

"It was a foul for the Eindhoven centre-back and at the same time pointed to the penalty."

"When Yang Yang took the last step, he rushed into the penalty area. This is an undisputed penalty."

"Judging from the slow-motion playback, Alexa's actions are very obvious, and from different angles of playback, Yang Yang has indeed rushed into the penalty area. As the last defensive player, Alexa must pay for his foul."

"That said, PSV will have to live with one less man than their opponents and concede a goal in the second half."

The PSV players were very angry. Cocu and Van Bommel quickly rushed to the referee, obviously indicating that the penalty of the red card and penalty kick was too severe, but the referee kept pointing to his eyes, indicating that he could see very clearly.

Cocu and Van Bommel are still relentlessly trying to fight for it, but the referee is very determined.

"There is no doubt that this was a very clear foul and the referee's decision is undisputed."

"The players of Eindhoven should keep calm now, they should try to control their emotions, otherwise they will still get another card."

Charisteas came over, stretched out his right hand, and pulled up Yang Yang who was still lying on the ground.

"here you go."

"Good job." Sneijder also rushed over and smiled.

A player from the opponent was sent off and a penalty kick was awarded at the same time. This is definitely a change that can change the situation in the second half.

Yang Yang's performance in the first half was not as eye-catching as the previous two games, but at the critical moment, when he got a chance, he unceremoniously gave his opponent a fatal blow.

It can be said that the counterattack just now was very critical, reflecting Yang Yang's calmness at the critical moment.

After Yang Yang got up from the ground, he tidied up his jersey, which was pulled a little off. It can be seen that Alex really intended to foul just now, but he probably didn't expect that Yang Yang had already rushed into the penalty area.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Alex didn't have time to react.

In front of the coaches of the home and away teams on the sidelines, Hiddink and Ronald Koeman's reactions were completely opposite. Hiddink was roaring angrily, obviously thinking that the referee deliberately favored Ajax and should not give PSV such a severe death penalty.

"You're killing the game, understand?" the PSV Eindhoven boss roared.

Ronald Koeman was cheering and celebrating. This red card and this penalty are too critical for Ajax.

But the question that follows is, who will take the penalty?
"The referee stabilized the emotions of the Eindhoven players. He was not affected by the home team players and fans to make his own judgment."

"He was obviously very sure that it was a foul and it should have been a penalty at the same time."

"Alex walked out of the field with his head down. The Brazilian central defender should be responsible for his foul."

"It's still a little time before the end of the first half, who will Ajax take this penalty?"

……

"It's up to you!" Sneijder looked deeply at Yang Yang.

Yang Yang shook his head, "No, you should go, you are the team's number one penalty shooter."

"I missed a penalty once before, so I'm not sure." Sneijder said with some embarrassment.

Yang Yang looked at Charisteas, Wesley Songk, and Pienaar and other teammates, and these people also looked at Yang Yang, and Pienaar nodded to Yang Yang to express his encouragement.

"You had a high percentage of penalty kicks before, and it is most appropriate for you to take the penalty."

So far, Yang Yang has only made two penalty kicks, and both times he made a direct hit.

More importantly, Yang Yang pushed directly into the middle of the two penalty kicks, showing his strong psychological quality.

Therefore, both Sneijder and Pienaar believe that it is most appropriate for Yang Yang to take the penalty kick.

Needless to say, Charisteas, Wesley Songk's psychological quality is indeed not strong. Sneijder missed a penalty once before, and he has a psychological shadow. In addition, Yang Yang earned this penalty, so he naturally took the penalty.

"Don't be stressed, we have a red card advantage, it's fine." Sneijder comforted.

Yang Yang smiled wryly, saying so, maybe there is no pressure?

…………

…………

"It seems that they are going to recommend Yang Yang to take the penalty." Ronald Koeman was a little surprised.

Luther Carroll's eyes flashed with joy, which represented the recognition of Yang Yang by a group of players headed by Sneijder.

"Sneijder missed a penalty kick before, so there is probably a shadow."

"Yes." Ronald Koeman nodded, "After van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic left the team, Garasek didn't play in this game. Apart from Sneijder, the most suitable penalty kick is Yang Yang."

"The focus game that the whole of the Netherlands is paying attention to is at the Phillips Stadium, under the gaze of [-] fans. The pressure of such a penalty kick is greater than the mountain. I don't know if he can handle it." Luther Carroll was also a little worried.

Ronald Koeman nodded, that is indeed the case, but this is also a challenge that Yang Yang must face.

"Eindhoven's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez has been on the rise this season. He grabbed the main position when he first arrived, and his condition is also very good. Such a player is very dangerous, and Yang Yang may not be able to take advantage of it."

Luther Carroll agreed with Ronald Koeman's judgment very much, and there was a trace of worry on his face.

But this is also a difficulty that a new standard-bearer of the team must overcome.

If you can't calm down and play steadily at this time, how can you be convincing?
How can everyone believe that he can lead Ajax to success?

…………

…………

Hurelio Gomez, 23 years old, is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms.

This summer, he transferred from Brazil to Eindhoven at a price of 100 million euros. He made a mistake when facing Rosendahl in the first game of the new season, and was refrigerated by Guus Hiddink for three rounds.

Since the away game against Nijmegen on September [-]th, he has regained his footing and helped the team win the away game [-]-[-]. He started all the next five games and played the whole game, but conceded only one goal.

That's right, it was the ball that Rosenborg conceded in an away game on Wednesday, and he is not very responsible.

And as of tonight, he has kept zero opponents for four consecutive rounds in the Eredivisie, and has kept 360 points without conceding a goal.

It can be said that he is one of the core contributors to Eindhoven's unbeaten victory in the past four rounds.

Yang Yang looked deeply at the tall and burly Brazilian goalkeeper, who was also watching him.

Suddenly, Yang Yang thought that before Gomez came to Eindhoven, the team he played for was Cruzeiro.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang immediately looked at Mai Kong who was not far behind him, and waved to him.

Maicon quickly ran over, "What's the matter?"

"Does Gomez have any habit of taking penalty kicks?" Yang Yang asked with concern, but his eyes were fixed on Gomez in the distance.

Sure enough, the Brazilian goalkeeper also noticed Maicon, knowing that this was his teammate for many years in Cruzeiro.

Maicon also looked at Gomez, "There is no special habit, but he is a right-footed player and seems to prefer to attack the left side."

Yang Yang nodded vigorously on purpose, and patted Maikong on the shoulder, signaling that it was all right, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Maicon quickly returned to his seat.

Yang Yang took a deep breath, looked directly at Gomez, walked into the penalty area calmly, placed the football at the penalty spot, stepped on the turf behind the football, and then slowly backed away.

He kept an eye on Gomez's actions throughout the process, with a slight smile on his face.

Did ex-teammate Mai Kong reveal any secrets to Yang Yang?
Gomez was skeptical.

For this kind of thing, he couldn't blame Mai Kong. After all, each was his own master, but he couldn't figure it out after racking his brains. What could Mai Kong tell Yang Yang?

But the referee did not give him time to think. After Yang Yang set the ball and retreated to his position, he blew the whistle for a free throw.

For a moment, the [-] fans almost held their breath.

Even at this moment, countless Dutch fans squatting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the game also held their breath, and their eyes all fell on Yang Yang, who was wearing the NO.11 jersey.

Yang Yang took a few quick breaths, then took a deep breath, and rushed forward quickly.

Gomez is also quickly predicting his free throw line based on Yang Yang's movements, but he can be said to be ignorant of Yang Yang's habits. When he saw Yang Yang making a move to kick to the right of the goal, he immediately realized that as a right-footed player, the left side of his body is indeed weak.

Almost in an instant, Gomez flew to make a save.

He knew very well that it would be too late to react after Yang Yang took the free throw.

But Yang Yang suddenly paused, and quickly launched a penalty kick.

"My God, it's going straight to the middle again!"

"God, Yang Yang took the ball to the middle with ease!"

"This is the third consecutive penalty kick he has shot directly into the middle."

"We even have to wonder, is this his free throw habit?"

"But it is undeniable that he calmly scored all three penalties!"

"One to zero!"

"The current situation is quite favorable for Ajax. Yang Yang made a personal performance near the end of the first half. After passing two defensive players of the opponent in a row, he made a red card for Alex and calmly scored a penalty kick."

"After [-] minutes without conceding a goal, Gomez was finally scored!"

The moment Yang Yang scored a penalty kick, he rushed out of the court excitedly.

So exciting!
He is also a gamble!
Of course, he deliberately paused because he clearly saw Gomez's reaction.

The Brazilian goalkeeper must be guessing that Yang Yang must have gotten some secret from Maicon, but in fact, the Brazilian right back did not give any useful information at all.

But this move before the penalty kick left Gomez with seeds of doubt and made him make a judgment in advance.

This feeling is really enjoyable!
