Chapter 122 Revenge
After wild celebrations, Ajax's players returned to the field.

After all, Arsenal is a veteran team with many battles. Although they fell behind by one goal at the beginning, they didn't seem nervous, as if they didn't pay attention to this goal at all. On the contrary, it seemed that Ajax was a little too excited.

The head coach Ronald Koeman also kept shouting from the sidelines, reminding the players to pay attention and keep calm.

According to statistics, the 10 minutes after a goal is often the easiest time to lose a goal.

Everyone in Ajax also paid enough attention to this. After the game restarted, everyone adjusted their mentality and began to continue to participate in the game, but Arsenal successfully controlled the initiative of the game this time.

Facts have proved that when Arsenal started to play normally, it was difficult for Ajax to compete with the opponent and could only be forced to defend.

Wenger is obviously also very clear that it is quite unfavorable for Arsenal to lose a goal shortly after the away game against Ajax, so he kept directing the game from the sidelines, asking the players to do their best to attack, and strive to seize every offensive opportunity to equalize the score, but this does not mean that Arsenal will be in a hurry.

Yang Yang runs non-stop on the field, actively participates in the pressing and oppression of the frontcourt, and when necessary, he will take the initiative to return to the midfield or even the back line. After all, the team scored a goal with great difficulty, and it must be defended no matter what.

But at the same time, he is also taking a hard look at Arsenal's style of play.

This is definitely not the kind of Premier League team in Yang Yang's impression. Arsenal's style is more inclined to control. Whether it is ball possession or rhythm, the Gunners like to control in a state they are familiar with.

Not only that, Arsenal's players run very hard. Even Henry in the frontcourt has a wide range of activities. When his team is in possession of the ball, the three lines are kept very compact and orderly. Every player will have teammates around him, ready to support and respond at any time, and the passing distance has always been controlled at about ten meters.

In this range, even strong men like Vieira and Campbell can ensure the pass success rate.

The Ajax players want to grab the ball, but the opponent's players can always find the ball around the side, which makes it very difficult to grab the ball, forcing the Ajax players to have to run and press all the time. Not to mention the great physical consumption, the blow to the players' willpower is even greater than usual.

People are always eager to get rewards for their efforts, but when the rewards are far lower than expected, they will inevitably be disappointed.

Once or twice may be able to calm down quickly, five times and ten times may be able to convince myself, but when more and more disappointments accumulate, it is a huge torture and challenge for anyone.

Ajax is facing Arsenal now, trying to grab the ball, but it is very difficult to grab the ball, which is very disappointing.

Yang Yang also noticed that Arsenal's formation is very meticulous, the players are very close, and the success rate of passing and receiving the ball is very high, but they also need to put in a lot of running and hard work. Even big guys like Vieira and Campbell need to keep moving on the field, which consumes a lot of energy.

Only relatively speaking, Ajax is affected by psychological pressure, and will suffer even more in terms of consumption and emotions.

But Arsenal also posed a huge threat to Ajax's defense through this kind of pass control and running.

It is difficult for the home team players to ensure that the team's defensive position is stable during the movement, and players may make mistakes at any time. For the offensive end, if a mistake is a big deal, it will be a big deal, but for the defensive side, a mistake is likely to be scored.

Arsenal is now using this continuous passing and running to pull Ajax's defense line, and then continue to create opportunities, but Ajax is forced to even find it difficult to counterattack.

Ronald Koeman himself was born as a defensive player, and his team leadership style has always been to focus on defense first, so Ajax's defensive position in the midfield is not bad. With the players focused on the game, Arsenal finally failed to equalize the score within 10 minutes of conceding the ball, but Ajax still failed to defend No. 205 minutes.

In the No.203 minute, Arsenal once again attacked Ajax's penalty area.

Edu, who replaced the Brazilian defensive midfielder Gilberto Silva, received a pass from his teammate at the front of the penalty area and swung to the right. He passed the two defensive players of De Jong and Heitinga.

The ball crashed into the top left corner of the goal in a surprising way among the crowd!

One to one!

Arsenal finally equalized the score!

The goal silenced the entire Amsterdam Arena.

This is certainly a player's personal flash performance, but is it not a problem exposed by Ajax itself under Arsenal's long attack?
At the very least, De Jong and Heitinga overlapped just now, resulting in no one defending the arc top area at the front of the penalty area.

It's kind of like revenge.

Ajax's goal in the opening 8 minutes came very suddenly, but Arsenal's goal was also very surprising.

…………

…………

Seeing Edu excitedly rushing past him and out of the field, Yang Yang wiped his face vigorously, his hands covered with sweat. This was the most exhausting and stressful game he had ever played.

What's more terrible is that it only played for less than 24 minutes.

One to one, was equalized, what to do next?
Yang Yang looked up at his teammates, especially the captain Van der Vaart, but this young genius also looked disappointed, obviously still immersed in the conceded goal just now, while the others also hung their heads, as if they were shameless facing the home fans.

Shouldn't it be time to cheer up?Yang Yang thought to himself.

The voice of head coach Ronald Koeman quickly came from the sidelines, calling on the players to cheer up as soon as possible.

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone is doing well, it was just an accident just now, keep playing like this."

"Everyone believe me, keep playing like this, keep defending, and counterattack when we seize the opportunity. We must still have a chance. They won't last long, and we must not be discouraged."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the sidelines. Although Ronald Koeman was a little fatter, he had the temperament of a big boss.

He has always played the role of the team leader in the locker room, and everyone obeys him, and what the head coach said is not unreasonable.

The consumption of Arsenal's players is also very high, especially considering that they are away, not to mention running back and forth. They just beat Chelsea away in the league. In contrast, Ajax is waiting for work, and their physical fitness should have an advantage.

Of course, the premise is that Arsenal must not be allowed to control the ball anymore, which is too terrible.

Ronald Koeman also seemed to realize that after leading just now, Ajax suddenly recovered too much, giving Arsenal too much freedom to pass and control the ball, especially in the area from the 30-meter area to the penalty area, Ajax was too passive.

Therefore, he quickly made an on-the-spot adjustment. Sneijder retreated to De Jong's side. The two were a bit like double midfielders. Yang Yang and Wesley Songke also retreated, basically equal to Van der Vaart who was advancing in the middle.

And Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was very active in this game, is still at the forefront. The Swedish center with outstanding physical fitness and excellent personal ability is not inferior even if he competes with Campbell. He is still the bridgehead of Ajax's offense.

In this way, Ajax's position is a bit like a four-two-three-one double midfielder formation.

…………

…………

After the game restarted, Arsenal still wanted to try to control the ball and rhythm, but Ajax began to consciously strengthen the frontcourt oppression and the midfield press.

The two wingers, Yang Yang and Wesley Songk, have great responsibilities. They must be able to press forward and actively participate in the pressing of Arsenal's defense, but they must be able to retreat to the midfield after retreating to halftime, rushing to support the team's midfield defense and ensuring the numerical advantage.

Although Ronald Koeman didn't say it, Yang Yang knew very well that as long as there is a chance to fight back, the two of them should be like two sharp knives, quickly cutting through Arsenal's defense from the two sides, creating opportunities for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart in the middle.

The game was very difficult. Ajax is inferior to Arsenal in strength. The Gunners are not only good at passing and controlling, but also have physical advantages. This puts a lot of pressure on the young players of the home team.

No. In the 209th minute, Van der Vaart was knocked over by the French midfielder when he tried to break through Vieira with the ball in the middle. Although the referee gave Ajax a set kick, he missed an offensive opportunity.

The time steadily entered 10 minutes. Although Ajax tried to fight back, they failed to get a chance no matter whether it was the left or the right. Yang Yang's best chance appeared in No. 306 minutes. Sneijder tried to go straight behind him.

But at the critical moment, Campbell made an extremely accurate prediction, slashed out with a diagonal stab, and shoveled the ball out of bounds before Yang Yang. When he got up and walked back, he still stared at Yang Yang viciously, his eyes full of intimidation and threats, as if saying, this time is just a warning, next time I will aim at your leg.

Just started quickly, making Yang Yang bend over, put his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

The sweat on the face ran down the cheeks to the tip of the nose, and finally dripped on the grass, really tired!

But in the face of such a fierce opponent, Yang Yang was not afraid at all. His only thought was that he was too stupid just now. Even though Campbell was dragged to the end, he didn't start in advance. Otherwise, how could he catch up with him at the speed of that big black man?
"How? Are you okay?" Teammate Sneijder ran over and asked with concern.

Now is Ajax's chance for an upfield throw-in.

Yang Yang shook his head, and the sweat was thrown away by him, "I'm a little tired."

Sneijder couldn't help laughing, saying that would prove that Yang Yang was really fine, "I'm really afraid you'd be intimidated by him."

"Hehe, I'm not very courageous, but I won't be intimidated by him." Yang Yang said lightly.

Seeing Trabelsi who came forward and was about to take a throw-in, Yang Yang suddenly had an idea in his heart.
