Chapter 243 Internal troubles and foreign troubles

At the end of November, Turin in northern Italy ushered in the early winter.

With the fiery momentum of six consecutive victories in the Eredivisie and two consecutive victories in the Champions League, Ajax went all the way south from the cold Amsterdam and swept the city of Turin with great vigor.

But when the referee Konrad Proutz from Austria blew the final whistle after 10 minutes of the game, Yang Yang could only helplessly raise his head and clearly felt a chill.

Juventus, which has won four consecutive victories in the group, did not have its strongest lineup, but it is already strong enough.

Goalkeeper Buffon, the defense is Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Thuram and Trabelsi, the midfielder is Nedved, Tacchinati, Emerson and Camoranesi, and the double forwards are Ibrahimovic and Sarajeta.

Before the game started, Ajax was already in a rather passive embarrassing situation.

In the first two rounds of the group, they lost [-] to [-] at home to Juventus and [-] to [-] away to Bayern Munich. It can be said that these two losses pushed Ajax to a desperate situation, forcing the Eredivisie team to take the initiative in the next few games.

Capello also expected this, so he concentrated on playing a defensive counterattack.

Ajax launched a rush attack after the opening, and Yang Yang's right side frequently created threats. Among them, Yang Yang made a cross to the back point, and Wesley Sonck headed the goal from close range, slightly brushing the post and going out of the baseline.

But in No. 15 minutes, Juventus seized a chance to counterattack and broke into Ajax's penalty area for the first time in the game. Camoranesi made a cross from the right, and Zarajeta beat Heitinga with a header and scored.

It was the only goal of the game.

After conceding the goal, Juventus defended more resolutely, and it was difficult for Ajax to break through the opponent's defense.

Yang Yang was frozen by the opponent for the first time in the whole game. Except for the pass to Wesley Songk, he did not give any threatening offensive highlights.

In this game, he faced the left combination of Zambrotta and Nedved, while the double defensive midfielder was the combination of Tacchinati and Emerson, and the central defenders were Cannavaro and Thuram.

After scoring a goal from Sarajeta, Juventus adopted a shrinking defense. Yang Yang could hardly find even a single gap in such a solid wall, and he failed to get any chances.

Juventus' defense is really terrible!

It's so terrible that people can't help but feel hopeless!
This is the world's top defensive formation trained by the world's top defensive master Fabio Capello with a group of world's top defensive players!
Yang Yang was convinced of the loss!

Even after this defeat, Ajax was eliminated from the Champions League.

…………

…………

"Hey buddy, are you okay?"

Ibrahimovic came over and looked at Yang Yang with concern.

This was the first time Yang Yang saw the Swedish center after he left the Netherlands, but unexpectedly, it was on such an occasion.

"It's okay." Yang Yang shook his head.

How can it be all right?

Ibrahimovic also understands in his heart that the feeling of losing is not uncomfortable at all, not to mention that Ajax will be eliminated from the Champions League, which is even more uncomfortable.

Although he only got along with Yang Yang for a short period of one year, he got along very well with Yang Yang. He knew Yang Yang well, and he knew that Yang Yang looked humble and low-key on the surface, but in fact he was very strong in his heart, and he could even be said to be competitive.

"Brother, this is none of your business, you have tried your best." Ibrahimovic persuaded.

"I know." Yang Yang nodded.

Regardless of the strength of the players or the overall strength of the team, Ajax is far behind Juventus.

If it was last season, he would still have to play to some extent, but this season is not at all.

This is not something Yang Yang can change alone, it is the gap in the overall strength of the team.

But even if he understood this point, Yang Yang still felt very uncomfortable.

He doesn't like losing, it can even be said that he hates losing, he wants to win.

The more natural Yang Yang behaved, the more Ibrahimovic felt the heaviness and depression in his heart, but there was no way he could help with this kind of thing, and he could only rely on Yang Yang to adjust and resolve it.

Trabelsi also came over to comfort Yang Yang.

The two of them didn't have much friendship in Ajax before, but after all, they are partners on the right and they cooperate well with each other.

After Ibrahimovic came to Serie A, he was immediately reused by Juventus and became the main center forward. His scoring efficiency was not high, but his performance was very good, and his overall level was steadily improved.

Trabelsi's situation is not good, more of a rotation and a substitute.

Capello is a conservative coach. One-to-zero doctrine is his coaching style, so he is more inclined to use Thuram on the right. Trabelsi, who is more aggressive, is not liked by him.

Sometimes, that's what the pros are like.

As the champion of the Champions League, Ajax left five core players last season, but so far, the best player is Robonte who joined Fiorentina. He has always been the main player.

Ibrahimovic followed closely. As for Trabelsi, van der Vaart and Escuder, it is currently difficult for Juventus and Real Madrid to play the main force, especially Van der Vaart.

No way, Real Madrid's midfield lineup is too strong.

The completely different experiences of the five people also further told Yang Yang that it is easy to get out of Ajax, but it is very difficult to gain a foothold in a better team than Ajax.

Players like Van der Vaart and Trabelsi are still like this, then he needs to work harder.

…………

…………

Good brothers meet, but end up killing everyone on the court.

After losing the game, Yang Yang was not in the mood to catch up with Ibrahimovic and Trabelsi.

He saw that many Ajax players were very uncomfortable.

Losing this game is a very painful thing for Ajax, because it basically means that the team will be eliminated from the Champions League and enter the UEFA Cup as No.3.

Failed to qualify from the group, the club lost a lot of benefits, and the players themselves felt bad.

The [-]-to-[-] loss to Juventus, coupled with the previous [-]-[-] away defeat to Bayern Munich, made it necessary for Ajax to beat Bayern Munich [-]-[-] at home in order to have a chance to qualify.

But everyone knows that this is simply impossible.

If Ajax had such strength, would they be beaten [-]-[-] in the away game?
Yang Yang was also very depressed. He hated losing more than anyone else, but he had to accept this reality.

"Okay, don't be sad." Yang Yang walked over and reached out to Vermaelen who was sitting on the ground.

In this game, the Belgian central defender was responsible for marking Zlatan Ibrahimovic and performed well. The Swedish center basically did not have a good chance, but unexpectedly, Heitinga failed to freeze Sarajeta.

Vermaelen grabbed Yang Yang's hand and got up from the ground, his eyes were red.

"Be strong. Losing is not terrible. The most important thing is to learn from experience and lessons. If we are not as good as others, let's practice again and try to come back next year for revenge." Yang Yang encouraged.

Vermaelen nodded vigorously.

Yang Yang turned his head and saw Maxwell with a frustrated face.

The good old man in the locker room was responsible for conceding the goal in this game, because his position was a bit high, and when Camoranesi counterattacked, he failed to return to his position at the first time, which gave Juventus a chance to cross from the right forward.

At this moment, the face of the Brazilian left-back did not have the slightest relaxed smile on weekdays, but was replaced by shame and guilt.

"Don't be like this, it's not the first time to lose." Yang Yang pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

Last season, Ajax also suffered a disastrous loss at the Bernabéu.

"Actually... I was a little anxious at the time, I..." Maxwell's voice was a little choked up, and he couldn't continue.

He wasn't crying, but looked in pain.

It is entirely conceivable that he will be criticized by many media and fans after the game.

Yang Yang patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "It's okay, if you didn't do well this time, then try harder, the most important thing now is not the pain and discomfort, we don't have time to stop and lick the wound slowly."

After hearing this, Maxwell took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

The league is coming soon.

Ajax is currently ranked fourth in the league and will not qualify for next season's Champions League at all.

Therefore, it is useless to say anything now, the most practical thing is to cheer up and play hard.

Yang Yang turned and walked towards Heitinga, Sneijder and others.

If it is said that Maxwell lost his position mainly because he stepped in to attack, then Heitinga was completely suppressed by Sarajeta, then it can only be said to be a gap in personal strength.

Sneijder failed to perform normally throughout the game. Juventus' two midfielders, Emerson and Tacchinati, played very steadily, basically firmly suppressing Ajax's midfielder, and did not give the Eredivisie team a little chance.

Yang Yang walked over to comfort his teammates.

…………

…………

On the sidelines, Ronald Koeman silently watched the scene on the court.

Like Luther Carroll, he was very happy to see Yang Yang's maturity.

They all knew Yang Yang's character, and knew that at this moment, Yang Yang's mood must be worse than that of all the Ajax players present, but he was still able to endure the discomfort in his heart and comfort his teammates one by one. This is a kind of progress.

It can be said that in this game, Juventus taught Ajax a good lesson.

Professional football is all about investment. The club sold five generals last season, earning nearly [-] million euros, all of which were used to pay off debts. The investment in the transfer market was not large, which caused the team's overall strength to decline a lot.

The [-]-[-] away defeat to Bayern Munich at the beginning of the season is the best example.

If it weren't for the rapid growth of Yang Yang this season, coupled with the progress of young players such as Sneijder and Vermaelen, Ajax's performance would only be worse than it is now, even worse.

The UEFA Champions League group draw was very unlucky, and even Juventus and Bayern Munich were drawn, so it is reasonable to fail to qualify.

But what Ronald Koeman is more worried about is, will this blow affect the team's next game?
Can this group of young people, whose average age is only in their early twenties, get out of the shadow of failure as soon as possible?
Having lost the Champions League abroad, PSV Eindhoven is terribly stable at home. The team can really be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles right now.

Ajax really is running out of time.
