Chapter 141 A ray of hope

After the two sides completed the substitutions, the game quickly resumed.

The order brought by Yang Yang was quickly executed by the Ajax players, and everyone managed to stabilize their minds in a panic.

And Ajax quickly made a second substitution adjustment. Galasek replaced Pinar, and pushed captain Van der Vaart to the left winger position, allowing Galasek and De Jong to form a double midfielder.

After the serious injury, Van der Vaart has lost his sharp speed, but his awareness and technique are still quite good.

After playing Arsenal's first round, he took the initiative to find Ronald Koeman to reconcile, and promised that he would do his best to play for the team, and the head coach also promised to give him more trust and freedom.

This time, Ronald Koeman replaced Pienaar, leaving van der Vaart.

Two consecutive substitutions allowed all Ajax players on the field to clearly understand the coach's intentions.

Hold on to the defense and counter quickly.

Ronald Koeman had an extremely brilliant career and was known as the central defender best at scoring goals. This gave him his own unique understanding of professional football. After retiring, he successively learned from Hiddink and Van Gaal, two head coaches with extremely strong personal styles, which greatly improved Koeman's coaching ability.

Even when he encountered a crisis of trust, the outside world questioned him more because of his on-the-spot command.

He has just entered his forties, and he is a well-known young coach in European football. Naturally, his experience is not as rich as that of the old coaches, but it is difficult for anyone who is picky to criticize the Ajax team he has trained.

Entering the quarter-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons is the best proof.

From Almere to Ajax, from the youth team to the first team, Yang Yang has greatly broadened his horizons every step of the way, allowing him to see a wider world of football and learn more.

Especially after entering the first team, he really felt his transformation from an amateur player to a professional player.

He has learned a wealth of technical and tactical knowledge from Ronald Koeman and the coaching staff, as well as the entire technical and tactical system of the first team. This not only greatly improved his ability to play on the court, but also greatly enhanced his personal technical and tactical qualities, which will be of great benefit to his future development.

The same is clearly true of the rest of the Ajax first team.

Therefore, when Ronald Koeman waved his hand on the sidelines and asked everyone to tighten the defense and increase the pressure on Real Madrid, every player in Ajax knew exactly what they should do.

It is ineffective for one person to press down, but if ten people work together to press down in an organized manner, the effect will be amazing.

Even if it is as strong as Real Madrid, in the final stage of the second half of the game, they have to suffer from Ajax's overall pressing and oppression. Frequent mistakes in passing and receiving the ball are short of a threatening counterattack opportunity.

…………

…………

Yang Yang kept running and pressing in a wide range in the midfield. As soon as Raul Bravo got the ball, he immediately pressed forward to interfere, forcing him to pass the ball immediately.

He could clearly feel that after two consecutive changes, the team worked together and the situation on the field changed again.

The more intuitive change is that Ajax's pressing and oppression played a role. Real Madrid's players did not run much and made frequent mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, which gave Ajax a chance to counterattack.

But Yang Yang understood that this was just an illusion, he vaguely figured out something, but he couldn't grasp it.

Since it was in the game, he did not continue to explore, but concentrated on running in the space.

Real Madrid's frontcourt superstars all don't return to defense. After Queiroz replaced Borja, only Beckham and Borja in the frontcourt really participated in returning to defense. Captain Raul ran very actively and occasionally returned to defense.

But this is clearly not enough.

As long as his own team steals the ball and wants to counterattack, Yang Yang will immediately run to respond, but unfortunately, his teammates either did not notice him, or saw that the pass was not passed, and another pass was passed, the quality was not high, Yang Yang failed to stop the ball and made a mistake.

Time was running out, but the Ajax players kept pressing.

Every player carries a heavy sense of guilt, and they don't need others to say much, they know it in their own hearts.

The smoothness of the first half, and the lead of that goal blinded their eyes and made them a little blind, so that they were beaten by their opponents at the beginning of the second half. One to four, this was a complete disastrous defeat, and they needed to make up for it.

Yang Yang is also running non-stop. He believes that his teammates will pass the ball to his feet.

And he will do everything possible to send the ball to Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt. He also believes that the Swedish center will be able to score the ball.

As long as one goal can be pulled back, two to four, Ajax at least retains a glimmer of life.

Even if it's just a theoretical hope.

No.806 minutes, Ajax made a quick counterattack from the left. Van der Vaart got a chance in the penalty area. Maxwell's cross from the left accurately found the Ajax captain in the penalty area.

Heading is really not Van der Vaart's strong point.

The captain of Ajax let out a roar of depression, but he did not forget to give his teammates a thumbs up when he turned around.

Everyone understood that if the ball had become Wesley Songk, it might have been scored.

Yang Yang on the right let out a sigh of relief and ran back quickly.

Sometimes opportunities are like this. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the high point, and the opponent will be closely marked. Even if Maxwell wants to pass, he may not have a chance to pass it. He is forced to look for Van der Vaart.

But in the end, Van der Vaart's shooting angle is not too big, and central defender Elguera is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Salgado is even known as a fierce player.

Real Madrid kicked the ball forward with a big kick and sent the ball to the frontcourt.

Escuder overwhelmed Ronaldo to grab the first spot and pushed the ball back.

The two sides competed for a while in the midfield.

Real Madrid's [-] seems to have the upper hand in the midfield, but in fact only Beckham, Borja and Raul participated in the press, and Zidane and Figo stayed on the side to wait for opportunities.

This made the midfielders of both sides equal. Even when Yang Yang and van der Vaart actively returned to defense, Ajax had the upper hand and quickly grabbed the ball again.

After Sneijder got the ball, he quickly kicked the ball to the right.

Yang Yang quickly started from the midfield and chased after the ball.

The cooperation between Sneijder and Yang Yang is becoming more and more tacit. He knows exactly what kind of ball Yang Yang likes, and this kick is just right. It just passed to Yang Yang's step, allowing him to continue forward very comfortably after receiving the ball, directly facing Raul Bravo.

Real Madrid's left back has been playing for more than 80 minutes, but it is the first time that he directly faces Yang Yang, who came off the bench, one-on-one.

But after Yang Yang received the ball and stabilized his pace, he actually increased his speed and quickly shortened the distance between himself and Bravo. This surprised the left back of Real Madrid. He instinctively realized that he had no way to retreat and could only go up to grab it.

At this moment, Yang Yang's right shoulder sank, as if he was about to break through from the outside line, inducing Raul Bravo to make a quick blocking action, but suddenly, Yang Yang's whole body flickered, and Bravo felt a blur in front of him, and turned to go inside.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, within a very short period of time, Yang Yang’s continuous fake moves caused Raul Bravo to misjudge. When he wanted to shift his weight again to block Yang Yang’s inward cut, he suddenly felt a pain in his left foot. He lost his balance and fell on the grass, watching Yang Yang go away.

Just after Yang Yang passed Raul Bravo, he quickly dribbled the ball towards Real Madrid's penalty area. Before Borja stepped forward to block it, he directly made a curved pass and hoisted the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had already understood it, rushed forward at the fastest speed, jumped high before Mejia, and used his chest to stop Yang Yang's cross in front of him.

Mejia, who had been blocked by the Swedish center, stepped forward desperately, trying to block the Swedish center with his body, but he was depressed to find that the opponent was like a mountain, and he couldn't push it no matter how he pushed it. He could only stretch out his feet desperately, hoping to catch the ball.

But Ibrahimovic is tall and has long legs, and he was already ready for the next step when the ball was stopped in the chest. Even if Mejia stretched his legs as much as possible, he could not reach the ball at all.

Casillas leaned to the right, but the Swedish center hit the goal towards the lower left corner. This made Real Madrid's goalkeeper unable to prevent the ball from entering the net even though he reacted immediately.

Two to four!
Ibrahimovic clenched his fists and let out a roar as he stood still.

Yang Yang quickly jumped in from behind and jumped onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic's back, but instead of celebrating with the Swedish center forward, he shouted loudly next to his ear: "There is still time, we still have a chance!"

He has a very strong hunch that as long as he continues to follow the current rhythm, he will definitely be able to score goals.

He couldn't explain the premonition, but it was there.

The Swedish center who reacted immediately woke up, and Yang Yang jumped off his back, rushed to the goal quickly, picked up the ball, turned and ran.

But at this moment, the referee suddenly blew his whistle to signal Real Madrid's team doctor and stretcher to enter the field.

Yang Yang, who had just placed the ball in the center circle and was waiting for the Real Madrid players to kick off, noticed that Raul Bravo, who had been knocked down by him just now, had never stood up again, and was holding his left leg with a very painful expression.

he got hurt.

Yang Yang stretched out his hand to wipe his sweaty face, and raised his head helplessly.

What a great opportunity!

How did you get hurt?
