Chapter 399 Reaching the Quarterfinals

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the entire Amsterdam Arena erupted in deafening cheers.

More than 5 Ajax fans rushed out of their seats, singing, shouting and celebrating wildly.

The final score of the game is displayed on the big red scoreboard.

Ajax narrowly beat Real Madrid [-]-[-] thanks to a goal from Pienaar in the first half.

But no one can deny that the player who performed the best in this game and is also the most threatening player is NO.11 Yang Yang.

After the game, Yang Yang was also selected as the best player of the game.

He is the most threatening Ajax player in this game, and also the player who brought the biggest test to Real Madrid's defense. In addition to sending a subtle assist to Pienaar, he has also sent wonderful assists to Yaya Toure, Sneijder and Ryan Babel.

It's a pity that several teammates didn't grasp it in the end.

But even so, it still didn't change the fact that Yang Yang performed well.

He also became the player who shouted the most times from the Ajax fans in the stands after the game.

The eyes of the masses are sharp, and they can see clearly who has contributed the most to Ajax.

In this current Ajax squad, only two players are indispensable.

One is the captain Yang Yang who is attacking the city in the frontcourt and leading his teammates in the locker room at the same time, and the other is Sneijder who is diligent in the midfield, often passes wonderful kicks, and has the ability to score after one kick.

Yaya Toure's performance this season is indeed amazing, with eye-catching contributions on both offensive and defensive ends, but he is still not as important as Yang Yang and Sneijder.

As for the team's defense...

This has become Ajax's biggest weakness. From goalkeeper Stekelenburg to the defense, Ajax's defense is not reassuring.

In fact, Ajax's defense has never been better, even in the season when they won the Champions League.

But in any case, being able to eliminate Real Madrid with a total score of [-] to [-] this season and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League again is enough to make everyone in Ajax feel satisfied and excited.

No one expected the team to repeat the miracle of winning the championship in [-]. After all, that season was full of chance, and many strong teams had problems. Therefore, everyone was very satisfied to be able to enter the quarterfinals.

A small fortune means peace, which is the benefit of a small team.

…………

…………

After the whistle sounded, Yang Yang walked towards Escude, which was closest to him.

The central defender is in an embarrassing situation at the Bernabeu, and there has been news that he may be purged.

There is definitely no problem with ability, but playing as a central defender in a team like Real Madrid has always been a matter of blame.

Yang Yang took the initiative to walk over, hugged Escuder, and comforted this French teammate who had fought side by side.

"Congratulations! You performed very well!" Escud also hugged Yang Yang vigorously.

This former little brother in the locker room has become a well-known first-line star in European football in just two years, and has attracted countless wealthy teams. The future is definitely promising.

Especially the hat-trick in the first round made Escuder both respectful and in awe.

"Thank you, you must continue to work hard!" Yang Yang shook hands with the French central defender.

Escude nodded emphatically.

Seeing other teammates approaching, Yang Yang turned and walked towards Van der Vaart.

The former favorite of the Amsterdam Arena came off the bench in the second half, but his performance was quite average. It was difficult for him to get permission in Ajax in Real Madrid.

In the Netherlands, he is a genius and a golden boy, but in Real Madrid, the most indispensable thing is talent.

In Ajax, everyone will revolve around him, accommodate him, and help him maximize his strengths and avoid weaknesses, but in Real Madrid, he is just an ordinary one, and he has no privilege to challenge the superstars at all.

Sometimes, professional football is like that.

Two players with very similar strengths, because of their different positions in the team, enjoy different tactical resources and degrees of freedom, will often perform very differently. At first glance, they look like two players who are not at the same level.

Van der Vaart at Real Madrid is definitely not the truest Van der Vaart.

His advantages were covered up, but his shortcomings were exposed to the fullest.

"It's okay, brother, we all believe in you and support you!" Yang Yang hugged Van der Vaart and encouraged him.

He understands how difficult the situation of the Dutch golden boy is now, because he has been listed by the Spanish media as the most to be purged.

Van der Vaart was more open-minded, and shook his head helplessly at Yang Yang, obviously very helpless about his own situation.

He is going to the Bernabeu with longing, and he hopes to prove his strength here and become a top European star.

But the cruel reality gave him a hard blow, and he had no chance to stand out at the Bernabéu.

Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul, Beckham, Guti...

A large number of stars firmly hold the team's starting position, not to mention him, even well-known European talents such as Robinho and Cassano, also do not get many opportunities at the Bernabeu.

Everyone knows that if the superstar strategy is not eliminated, they can only escape from the Bernabeu.

Van der Vaart looked around and made sure that no one was approaching, so he hugged Yang Yang again, and gently reminded him in his ear: "Anyway, I still want to advise you, the Bernabéu is quite chaotic."

Yang Yang nodded heavily, "I understand, thank you!"

After letting go, Yang Yang punched him head-on, hitting him on the chest, "We Chinese have a saying, move a tree to die, move a person to live, although this decision is difficult, but long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

Van der Vaart understands what Yang Yang means. In the short term, he really doesn't see any chance for him to play.

For two years, he has always been just a dispensable substitute.

He has had enough of this kind of life!

After Yang Yang bid farewell to Van der Vaart, he met with Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane, Beckham and Guti successively, and made some polite remarks, especially to Robinho. The Brazilian player also expressed that he was looking forward to working with Yang Yang at the Bernabeu.

But Real Madrid lost the game, and the team was in turmoil again. Whether it was the superstars or the players, they all just politely greeted each other, and then walked back to the locker room one after another.

Such a result is not surprising. After losing the game [-]-[-] at home, everyone had already guessed that Real Madrid would not be able to advance to the next level. Before that, the chairman Florentino stepped down, which made the team panic.

It is completely different from the impression of many fans that the game on the court does not only depend on the strength and state of the players.

There is a saying that is right, nine and 10 minutes of the game is just a condensed period of time in the past, from management to training of a team.

On the surface, eleven people are playing, but in fact it is two clubs competing.

Real Madrid has been really bad lately.

…………

…………

Ajax defeated Real Madrid [-]-[-] at home and eliminated the Galacticos [-]-[-] on aggregate.

This piece of news once again detonated the media all over the world.

After two consecutive seasons in the top [-], coupled with the turmoil caused by the resignation of the chairman Florentino, Real Madrid was in the limelight for a while, and countless Real Madrid fans were extremely dissatisfied with the status quo of the team.

However, Yang Yang has become the object of praise from the media and fans all over the world with his outstanding performance in the two rounds.

The other seven games in the Champions League round of [-] have also been decided one after another.

After AC Milan drew [-]-[-] with Bayern Munich in the away game, they returned home and defeated the Bundesliga Banba [-]-[-], and then eliminated Bayern Munich with a total score of [-]-[-].

The Eredivisie team PSV Eindhoven, which also entered the top [-] of the Champions League, is in the exact opposite of Ajax.

After losing several core generals, Eindhoven faced Ligue [-] Lyon, losing [-]-[-] at home, [-]-[-] away, and finally [-]-[-]. Hiddink's team was uncompetitive against Ligue [-] Lyon.

This also made the Netherlands feel sad and valued Ajax more.

Especially Yang Yang.

Everyone knows that the situation of Ajax this season is not very ideal, especially the defensive problems, but with Yang Yang's outstanding performance, he insisted on leading the team all the way to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Currently in the Eredivisie League, Ajax is also leading the standings all the way.

Some people have calculated that without Yang Yang's goal and replaced by others, Ajax can only rank fourth in the Eredivisie at best.

Villarreal drew with Rangers [-]-[-] on aggregate, but the Yellow Submarine took advantage of away goals and eliminated the Scottish Super League team thrillingly.

Juventus drew with Werder Bremen [-]-[-] on aggregate and eliminated the Bundesliga team by virtue of away goals.

After Chelsea lost [-]-[-] at home to Barcelona, ​​they drew [-]-[-] away with the La Liga giants, and Mourinho's team could only stop at the top [-].

Arsenal played [-]-[-] at home and [-]-[-] away, double-beating Inter Milan in two rounds, and advanced to the quarterfinals.

As for the defending champion Red Army Liverpool, they lost [-]-[-] away and [-]-[-] at home to Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.

If it is surprising to miss the quarter-finals, then zero goals in the two rounds is very surprising.

Benitez publicly admitted in the post-match press conference that the team needs to find better players on the front line.

"We need a striker who can score more than [-] goals in a season!"

According to the British media, Benitez has issued an ultimatum to the Liverpool board of directors and must make a difference on the front line, and his number one signing target is Ajax's Yang Yang.

In addition to Yang Yang, Valencia's David Villa and Atletico Madrid's Torres are also his goals.

Yang Yang scored eight goals in the current UEFA Champions League, tied for the first place with AC Milan's popular star Andriy Shevchenko.

This further makes people recognize Yang Yang's strength. After all, it is not easy to be able to keep pace with popular stars such as Shevchenko, Ronaldinho and Eto'o in the Champions League scorer list.
