super storm

Chapter 133 The right path is yours! [The fifth update of the explosive liver, ask for the first monthly ticket]

On the evening of March [-]th, Highbury Stadium, London.

When the game progressed to No. 304 minutes, Arsenal launched another wave of offensive.

After receiving the ball on the left side of the center line, Pirela suddenly made a long pass and sent the ball to the left.

Bergkamp, ​​who replaced Reyes in the starting lineup, has always been active on the right side since the start, but this time he suddenly switched to the left side. After receiving a pass from Pires, he did not choose to go it alone.

Henry, who ran out of space, would not miss such a god-given opportunity at all, and directly pushed the ball into the goal guarded by Robont, scoring the first goal of the game for Arsenal.

One to zero!

Arsenal, who played at home, took the lead.

Ajax also had a mature plan for conceding a goal in the away game. Although the players were a little anxious, they did not collapse. They still organized their defense in an orderly manner according to their own rhythm.

This made Arsenal's second wave of offensive 4 minutes later, although it created a threat again, it failed to score.

Arsenal's overall strength is far above Ajax, and soon created opportunities again. Ljungberg and Bergkamp on the right were very active, creating threats twice in a row and attacking the penalty area, but Ajax tenaciously defended the score.

Especially in stoppage time, Ljungberg sent a very deadly through ball, and Pires managed to reach the goal in an offside, but the first kick was not stopped, which led to interference by Escuder, who could not take a calm shot and was forced to pass it to Henry.

But at this time goalkeeper Robont made a decisive attack and Henry's shot was stillborn.

The continuous ferocious offensive made the wind in front of Ajax's goal jittery, and the defense line was crumbling. It also made Yang Yang and van der Vaart and others sitting on the bench on the sidelines watch their hearts beat faster and were extremely nervous.

This kind of feeling of sitting on the sidelines and watching teammates desperately on the court is not at all pleasant.

During the half-time break, the head coach Ronald Koeman did not blame the players for their mistakes. Instead, he praised the bloody performance of the team in the first half and the tenacious defense. He hoped that the players would make persistent efforts.

"If we keep this score, we still have hope." Ronald Koeman said loudly.

Everyone in the team knew that he was putting his treasure on Yang Yang and Van der Vaart who were on the bench.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Arsenal consciously slowed down the pace. They only shot one shot in the first 10 minutes, and it was a non-threatening shot, which was completely different from the stormy offensive in the first half.

It wasn't until the No.604 minute that Bergkamp received Vieira's pass and lobbed in the penalty area, but it was too high.

The game began to enter a slow pace, and the two sides were somewhat stalemate.

…………

…………

Yang Yang sits on the visiting team's bench at Highbury Stadium. Except for running out to warm up from time to time, he spends the rest of the time observing the game. The more he observes, the more he can appreciate the benefits of meticulous preparation.

Ajax's research on Arsenal is undoubtedly quite in-depth, and the coaching staff's deduction of the game is also quite successful, not only for Arsenal's starting lineup, but even for the Gunners' formation and game strategy.

Of course, accurate intelligence and deduction does not mean that you will not lose.

Just like that time in the first half, Bergkamp suddenly pulled from the right to the left, which surprised Ajax. They were caught off guard and directly caused a goal conceded.

The second goal in the first round of the two sides, Henry and Pires' consecutive two-for-one cooperation was also unpredictable before the game.

But so far in the game, Ajax is behind [-] to [-], but the situation is still not out of control.

In the deduction of the Ajax coaching staff, a game of Arsenal is like a person's life. The opening is very amazing, full of creativity and imagination, full of vigor, and then there is a mature period, very stable, and the overall strength is basically played out, but then they will usher in an aging period.

This is the last 10 minutes of the game.

According to the deduction of the Ajax coaching staff, as long as they can defend for 10 minutes, Ajax may have an upset away game, because during this period of time, Arsenal will expose many weaknesses that were covered up in the previous 10 minutes.

For example, their physical fitness, as well as Wenger's repeated slightly conservative substitutions.

Facts have proved that after entering the second half, Arsenal really slowed down their offensive.

"When will Wenger go to Gilberto Silva?" Yang Yang muttered to himself.

"Who knows?" Van der Vaart next to him shook his head.

Arsenal's two players in the middle of the midfield, Vieira and Edu, are used to pressing up. This makes Arsenal's defense front protection very weak when counterattacked. If Ajax can quickly advance to the penalty area, then Arsenal's front arc of the penalty area will be very dangerous.

But that problem goes away when Gilberto Silva plays.

"Our right wing still gave the opponent too much space, Scola still couldn't press Ashley Cole, which made Arsenal's entire left wing play too active, coupled with the combination of Ljungberg and Bergkamp on the right wing, Arsenal's two wings were blown up in the first half."

Speaking of this, Van der Vaart turned his head to look at the young teammate beside him, and asked with a smile: "Have you thought about how to play after playing?"

Yang Yang shook his head, "Do you still need to think about it?"

So far, Yang Yang has only one role in the team, and that is to open the right channel.

It should be said that since he entered the first team, at this point, he has been doing very well, and it can even be said to be getting better and better.

But this time he is facing the world's top left-back Ashley Cole.

…………

…………

Seven and 10 minutes into the clock, Ajax coach Ronald Koeman finally called Yang Yang and van der Vaart, who were warming up, and they stood beside the coach, one on the left and one on the right.

"The right is yours!" Ronald Koeman pointed at Yang Yang and said forcefully, "No matter what method you use, you must open the right for me. Ashley Cole has consumed a lot of energy. I believe you can still create a threat when you go up at this time."

Yang Yang nodded vigorously, looking solemnly at the left back who was slightly shorter than himself on the court.

"The front of the penalty area is yours, Rafael." Ronald Koeman said, pointing to Van der Vaart, "You go to replace De Jong, I need you to assist Sneijder in the midfield, and at the same time play your threat to score in the front and back of the penalty area."

Van der Vaart also nodded solemnly.

The main midfielder De Jong already has a yellow card, and he is tied up on the field. It is normal to replace him.

"You two are my last bargaining chip and the team's last hope. If we can't tie the score, our UEFA Champions League this season will be over, understand?"

According to the rules of the Champions League knockout round, the total score of the two rounds is currently [-] to [-], but Arsenal has two away goals. If the total score of the two sides is the same, the side with more away goals wins, and Ajax has already lost.

Therefore, if you want to qualify, you have to score goals.

The two took the head coach's latest adjustment instructions and occupied the sidelines, waiting for the dead ball opportunity to come off the bench.

Everyone in the entire Highbury Stadium also noticed the movement in front of the visiting team's coaching bench. Wenger naturally saw that Yang Yang and van der Vaart were about to play, but this should also be within the scope of his plan.

So soon, Arsenal also introduced a substitution, and the Brazilian midfielder Gilberto Silva was also ready to play.

"The two teams made adjustments almost at the same time. Ajax replaced two players in one breath. Captain van der Vaart replaced midfielder De Jong, who performed well in this game. This is a substitution to strengthen the offense."

"There was another substitution when No. 99 Yang Yang on the right side replaced Victor Scola. This was a matchup substitution."

"I believe that fans who have watched the first round of the game will not forget the No. 99 player. He started that game and scored the opening goal for Ajax, setting the record for the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Champions League. Then he planned Ajax's goals twice. He was the most eye-catching player in the first round."

"What's more, he's only 17 years old."

"Arsenal's substitution is also a counterpoint. Gilberto Silva replaced Brazilian compatriot Edu. This is also a substitution to strengthen the defense. Wenger finally wants to make up for the defensive hidden danger at the front of his team's penalty area."

"The two head coaches are tit-for-tat, and they are very familiar with each other. When they see each other, Ronald Koeman wants to make a fuss about Arsenal's weakness, but Arsenal immediately replaces them to fill the team's loopholes."

"After replacing two players, Ajax's offense began to lean more towards the right, and still wanted to play Yang Yang's side, but Arsenal was also prepared for this, and Ashley Cole was more focused on defense."

"After touching the ball a few times on the field, Yang Yang still seemed quite reserved, he couldn't let go, and he didn't have a one-on-one chance."

"We saw Arsenal on the sidelines make a second substitution."

"Wenger made consecutive substitutions and adjustments in just 3 minutes. This time, he replaced Pires with Spanish teenager Reyes."

"It seems that Wenger wants to use Reyes' speed and impact to frighten Ajax's right flank. After all, the score is only [-]-[-] now, which is not safe for Arsenal."

"So far, both sides have made two substitutions, but the effect has not yet been seen."

……

After coming off the bench, Yang Yang was indeed a little cautious.

This time he was facing the world's top left-back. Although Ashley Cole had played for more than 70 minutes, his might was still there, so Yang Yang did not dare to be careless towards him.

When facing Clichy before, Yang Yang didn't take much advantage, but in the super training ground last night, he specially imitated Ashley Cole, but he still failed to take advantage of Arsenal's left back.

This made him very clear that relying on fighting alone is very difficult to be sure.

He needs help, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic can't because he has to be at the top.

Trabelsi can't do it either, he needs to defend well, Ajax can't concede the ball again anyway.

There was only one candidate left, Sneijder.
