Chapter 253 This kid has changed! [The fourth update of the explosive liver, please subscribe to the monthly pass]

On the evening of January 23, Utrecht, Gaugenwald Stadium.

In the locker room of the home team, the Utrecht players who had just returned from pre-match training on the field were sitting on the seats in front of the closet, looking up at the 42-year-old Dutch coach in front of them.

Falk Boy looked at the players in front of him with a smile on his face, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"Don't be so nervous, guys, tonight is our home game, okay?"

The ease of the head coach soon spread to the players in Utrecht, and many of them would smile.

The amazing home record is an important bargaining chip for Utrecht to rank fifth in the Eredivisie so far this season. At the same time, they are also the only two remaining unbeaten teams in the Eredivisie this season.

The other team is Alkmaar, who is at the top of the standings.

In the past [-] rounds of the league, Utrecht had eight home games, six wins and two draws, which is comparable to Alkmaar's seven wins and two draws, and they only conceded four goals, which is only one goal more than Alkmaar and Eindhoven.

"Relax everyone, Ajax are strong, but definitely not strong enough to scare us."

After hearing this, many players nodded in unison.

Ajax this season is indeed not as good as last season. Although it is ranked third in the Eredivisie so far, everyone knows that the dominance of this team is not as good as before.

"In the past [-] rounds, we have three matches, one win and two draws against the traditional top three, and we once drew Ajax [-]-[-] away, drew [-]-[-] at home against Eindhoven, and defeated Feyenoord [-]-[-] away."

Falk Boye told all the details of his pre-match mobilization that he had prepared for a long time.

"In our stadium, we beat Rosendal [-]-[-], we have won two home games in a row, and I believe, just tonight, our home unbeaten record will catch up with Alkmaar and usher in a three-game winning streak."

More and more players have begun to be encouraged by Falk Boy and nodded their heads one after another.

This is dependent on Utrecht's excellent record at home this season and its outstanding performance against strong teams.

In the Eredivisie League, who doesn't want to kill the traditional top three?

Falk Boi has a mediocre career experience, wandering around, drifting in the Eredivisie and the Bundesliga. After retiring, he served as a youth team coach in Utrecht.

Frans Adelar worked for two years without much improvement, and Falk Boy took over the burden.

Under the training of Falk Boy, although Utrecht's performance in the league has not improved much, but the cup results are very good. They have won the Dutch Cup and have also trained Dutch internationals like Dirk.

And this season is the best season for Utrecht in the past few years. Whether it is Falk Boy or the management, they have high hopes for the team.

They don't want much, UEFA Cup qualification is enough.

The first round against Ajax after the winter break is related to the start of the second half and we have to be cautious.

"Ajax's most threatening player is their right winger Yang Yang. This player is very comprehensive. He can score himself and assist his teammates. He only participated in [-] league games in the first half, but contributed [-] goals and [-] assists. We have to be cautious."

Having said that, Falk Boy looked at the team's left back Etienne Xu.

"Etienne, I need you to watch Yang Yang for me. This is your only task in this game."

Etienne Xu is of Chinese descent, but he never felt that he was Chinese, and naturally he did not have any closeness to Yang Yang.

"Yang Yang is the ultimate talent, and his physical resistance is weak. You should focus on this point and implement close-up marking on him. You must not let him easily get the ball, understand?"

Etienne Xu nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him."

The first two contests between him and Yang Yang happened after Yang Yang came off the bench. At that time, his physical fitness was already a little bit behind, but the situation is different now. Both of them are starters. Etienne Xu, who has just turned 30, does not think that he will lose to a young boy who has just debuted.

Moreover, the last time the two fought, Yang Yang had been deliberately avoiding physical contact with him.

The boy with a thin body is obviously very resistant to physical contact, which is also a common problem of all speed and technical players.

"The midfielder and central defender have to cooperate with Etienne's defense on the left. No matter what, I have to freeze this Yang Yang in this game. I can't let him have the slightest chance on the left."

"Believe me, guys, as long as Yang Yang is frozen, Ajax's offensive threat will be reduced by half!"

…………

…………

At the beginning of the game, Ajax really focused on attacking the right.

In this game, Ronald Koeman still played the iconic four-three-three formation, but made adjustments.

Garasek and De Jong formed a double midfielder, and Pienaar was pushed to the left wing, forming an offensive trident with Charisteas and Yang Yang in the frontcourt.

Yang Yang was very active on the right.

Etienne Xu focused on Yang Yang, not daring to be careless, giving him any chance, and always getting close to Yang Yang intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to give play to his advantages in physical confrontation.

In his impression, Yang Yang is like a weak and flimsy boy.

But in the 4th minute, when the two sides fought for the ball, Etienne Xu found out that something was wrong. He tried his best to squeeze Yang Yang away, but found that things were not as he expected.

Yang Yang staggered a little from being squeezed, and his pace of dribbling was really messed up, but he quickly adjusted and didn't miss the ball.

On the contrary, Etienne Xu, who was crowded, lost his position, and Yang Yang found the opportunity to cross.

It's a pity that Charisteas failed to grab the first point.

Etienne Xu looked at Yang Yang who was walking back in disappointment shaking his head, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

This kid has improved in physical confrontation!

Realizing this, Utrecht's left back couldn't help but carefully looked at Yang Yang's arm exposed outside the loose jersey, and indeed found obvious deltoid muscles, which further confirmed his judgment.

But the game is changing rapidly, and there will be no time for Etienne Xu at all.

Yang Yang quickly received a pass from his teammate and made a comeback with the ball.

This time he received the ball on a counter-attack and went all the way to Utrecht's penalty area.

Alone, alone, he faced Etienne Xu, who had retreated into the penalty area, and the two defenders behind him.

Just when Etienne Xu thought that Yang Yang would slow down and wait for his teammates behind him to catch up, he did not expect that Yang Yang did not slow down after entering the penalty area.

Directly a pendulum extraordinary!
Etienne Xu only felt that the speed of the opponent was too fast, and there was a blur in front of his eyes. As soon as he reacted, Yang Yang jumped past him, and before the central defender behind him assisted in the defense, he suddenly shot with his right foot.

This shot was fast and urgent, and it was very powerful, but the angle was a little higher, and it was not suppressed.

The ball flew straight out of the baseline and onto the bottom stands behind him.

Everyone in the stadium broke out in a cold sweat.

Not only Etienne Xu, but even Falk Boy, who was on the sidelines, was taken aback and had lingering fears.

"This kid has changed! He's not the same as before!"

…………

…………

Yang Yang shook his head and walked back, his face full of depression.

It's a pity that he didn't hit that shot well just now.

The main reason is that when the opponent's central defender was assisting in the defense, he was a little too anxious. As a result, he missed the right position and the ball was not suppressed. Otherwise, this would have been a wonderful shot.

"Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!!!"

Yang Yang kept reminding himself in his heart.

This is what Ronald Koeman told him before the game, and he must not be in a hurry.

Impatience, this is a taboo for scorers.

It is not difficult to score only one goal, but to maintain a stable goal for a long time, not only must have excellent personal strength, but also have a strong enough psychological quality, the most important thing is mentality.

Only by maintaining a normal mind can the movements be stretched in place and the judgment can be calm.

"Good job!" Ned ran over to congratulate.

"If you didn't enter, it would be more beautiful." Yang Yang laughed.

"It seems that you are in good shape today."

Yang Yang nodded, his condition is indeed not bad, but not very good.

According to the training plan given to him by Winston Bogard and Jan Kluitenberg, he will not be in form until mid-to-late February at the earliest.

As for how high the state can be and how long it can last, it depends on Yang Yang himself.

"Douglas, you should be more positive, I can hold the ball, trust me."

Yang Yang returned to the half court and said to Mai Kong.

The Brazilian started the game a bit conservatively.

"If I go outside, you go inside. If I go inside, you go sideways. If necessary, I will fill in for you."

Mai Kong gave a thumbs up to Yang Yang, signaling that he remembered it.

Although he is older than Yang Yang, in fact, he is not as good as Yang Yang in terms of status in the team or performance on the court. Coupled with the fact that the two practice each other every day, he is convinced by Yang Yang.

In the absence of Wesley Songk, Yang Yang is the core of the team's frontcourt offense.

And obviously, he also began to gradually enter the role.

Soon, Ajax organized another wave of offense, still a quick counterattack after stealing the ball.

After Charisteas snatched the ball, he handed it to Yang Yang on the right.

This time, Maicon really did what Yang Yang expected. When he saw Yang Yang dribbling the ball into the penalty area obliquely, the Brazilian right back no longer hesitated, and quickly slipped in.

Yang Yang dribbled the ball straight to Etienne Xu, facing two defenders at the same time, but still went straight to the penalty area, forcing everyone in Utrecht to focus on him.

As a result, he suddenly fell to the bottom line.

Maicon stepped in from the edge, quickly inserted into the penalty area after receiving the ball, and rushed to the rear before the defensive player was in place.

Sneijder plugged in from the back row, pushed calmly, and sent the ball into Utrecht's goal.

One to zero!

At this time, the opening time was only 6 minutes!
