Chapter 367 Hype Yang Yang's new material

"We made several serious mistakes!"

In the post-match press conference, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger summed up the just-concluded game when he was interviewed by the media. His expression looked very lonely.

Because his team just lost.

Two to one, the international practice, the home team in front, the visiting team behind.

It was only in the last few minutes that Arsenal broke into the middle of the penalty area from Ljungberg and scored calmly.

But this can't change the final trend of the game.

Relying on Yang Yang's one pass and one shot, Ajax defeated Arsenal [-]-[-] at home.

And because of another match in the same group, Thun, Switzerland beat Sparta Prague [-]-[-] at home. In the end, Ajax scored four points with a record of two games, one win and one tie, ranking first in the group standings.

Wenger believes that the team's biggest problem is that there have been too many mistakes. This is Arsenal's most serious problem so far this season, and it is very unreasonable.

"You can't make mistakes at this high level of play, but unfortunately, we made more than one serious defensive error, which hit us hard and ended up losing the game."

Wenger believes that Ajax's defense in this game is very good. It is difficult for Arsenal to find a breakthrough. There are many shots, but in fact most of them are from long-range shots. There are not many opportunities to kick in the penalty area that is really threatening.

"Judging from the whole game, our ball possession time is much higher than that of our opponents. We are obviously better and have taken the initiative in the game, but we are not effective enough in terms of ball possession conversion rate, and our offensive pressure on our opponents is not strong enough."

"To put it simply, we need to make ourselves more aggressive, but also more concise and efficient."

But Wenger also admitted that this is a problem that has always existed in the team this season, but he doesn't think it has anything to do with Vieira's departure, because he always believes that the team has outstanding young players like Cesc Fabregas and Flamini.

"Sometimes, there is no way to make similar comparisons in football. Vieira is one type of player, but Cesc Fabregas is another type of player. I always believe that Fabregas is a very wise choice to fill the vacancy left by Vieira."

"He is very young, only 17 years old, which brings endless potential to our team, and what we need to do next is to fully tap this potential."

As for the media reporter's question, why didn't Ljungberg play earlier, Wenger said that because the Swedes played harder, and Hleb also performed well, especially at the beginning of the first half, Hleb played very threateningly from the right.

For Yang Yang's performance, Wenger gave a very high evaluation.

"In fact, since two years ago, I have been following him closely. He has improved very fast, which can be said to be a step a year. Now, he is trying to prove his strength to everyone. I believe he will become one of the best players in European football."

Wenger also took the initiative to mention that after the knockout round of the Champions League round of [-] two years ago, he once thought about buying Yang Yang.

"At that time, I, the coaching staff and the scouting team thought that he was an incredible player, but at the same time, we also thought that he was not good enough. He had a sharp wing breakthrough, but many things were not good enough, such as his stop, his passing and so on..."

"Our final conclusion is that he should continue to stay at Ajax to grow and improve, but we have been paying close attention to him, but no one thought that Ajax finally won the Champions League, and Yang Yang also became famous in one battle. Last season ushered in explosive growth..."

When Wenger talked about this, his expression was somewhat remorseful, "But I am very happy to see that Yang Yang has blazed his own path. He is ushering in a period of rapid development in his career. I believe he is and has even become one of the best players in European football."

This is the second time Wenger used the adjective best to describe Yang Yang, which surprised all the media reporters present.

Everyone could clearly feel that Wenger recognized Yang Yang in his heart.

He scored twice to beat Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup, and beat Arsenal with another pass and one shot in the group stage. Yang Yang has proved his strength twice this season with iron-like facts.

Although it is in the Champions League, what all fans pay more attention to is still the strong dialogue.

Few people will remember that Yang Yang had an assist when he played Sparta Prague, and no one will remember that Yang Yang has scored nine goals and had five assists in the Eredivisie league. He ranks first in the Eredivisie whether it is the goal list or the assist list.

But all fans around the world will remember his brace against Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup, his pass and goal against Arsenal in the group stage, and his man of the match award in both games.

This is the influence brought by the Champions League!

……

For the game, Ronald Koeman praised Yang Yang and the players fiercely, especially mentioning Yang Yang's role as the captain of the team, and his ability to stand up at critical moments is very admirable.

"Perhaps many people have not noticed that he is the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League."

When the head coach of Ajax was touting Yang Yang, he did not forget to provide media reporters with a brand new hype material.

What's interesting is that before Yang Yang, the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League was also from Ajax, and that was Van der Vaart. When he took over as captain in 20, he was exactly 210 years and [-] seven days old.

Now, Yang Yang pushes Van der Vaart's record forward again in one breath. The new record he set is zero 320 four days, which happened to be the day when Ajax played Sparta Prague away.

Small teams are like this. Except for the Dutch domestic media and UEFA, few people have noticed Yang Yang's new record. But at this moment, when Ronald Koeman said it, the entire press conference hall was in an uproar.

This is definitely another big hype hot spot.

The Ajax coach also said that if it weren't for the referee's misjudgment, Ajax should have scored in the first half.

"It was a very obvious and undoubted handball. It should have been a penalty kick. Our players also appealed, but the referee still upheld the original verdict. I believe everyone should have seen it. It was a wrong penalty."

As for the penalty mentioned by Ronald Koeman, Arsenal coach Wenger said that he did not see it.

"I didn't notice at the time whether it was a handball or not, but I think the referee made the most sensible decision in his opinion at the time. My player didn't consciously try to open his arms. That should not be sentenced to death. .”

This should be the only disagreement between Wenger and Ronald Koeman in the press conference.

…………

…………

Arsenal's [-]-[-] away loss to Ajax was not a disaster.

In fact, as early as before the game, many European media believed that Ajax did not have a chance, because Arsenal did have a lot of problems this season, especially since the start of the game, they lost all three away games.

What's more, Ajax is not an underdog.

In the past three seasons, Ajax was the Champions League quarter-finals and the Champions League champion in the first two seasons. Although the Champions League stopped in the group stage last season, it won the UEFA Cup.

It can be said that Ajax's achievements in the past three years are extremely brilliant and quite shining.

As for this game, the reports of major media around the world have focused on two points.

One of them is that Vieira's departure led to a decline in Arsenal's midfield strength, which in turn caused huge fluctuations in the Gunners' performance this season. Everyone believes that although Wenger does not admit it, Vieira is indeed Arsenal's most painful loss.

But in contrast, all the media and fans pay more attention to another point.

That is Yang Yang of Ajax.

With one pass and one shot, he was elected the best player in the game, and was able to lead Ajax to defeat Arsenal as the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League. Yang Yang's performance has been recognized by all the media and fans.

Many people even expressed that they look forward to seeing Ajax go further.

The British Sun even published the news on the front page that Wenger regretted not buying Yang Yang two years ago, and then published another joking report, saying that Wenger would not go alone.

"I believe that after watching Yang Yang's outstanding performance this season, it's not just Arsene Wenger who has regrets, but Liverpool's Benitez, Chelsea's Mourinho and Manchester United's Ferguson are also regretful and their guts are green."

"These four strong teams were once full of interest in Yang Yang, but they didn't make up their minds. Now after seeing Yang Yang's outstanding performance this season, they have to look at their pockets with distress and regret."

And the media from Spain also sighed.

The better Yang Yang's performance, the worse the Spanish media's taste, because this summer, everyone is looking forward to Yang Yang's transfer to Barcelona or Real Madrid. There was even news that Barcelona would sell Messi and bring in Yang Yang.

Even the newspapers in Catalonia have already revealed that Messi is only one step away from joining Inter Milan, and as long as Messi is sold, Yang Yang will have no obstacles to enter Camp Nou. Even Ronaldinho welcomes Yang Yang to join.

But in the end, Barcelona kept Messi when they made a final kick. Cruyff publicly bombarded Barcelona, ​​thinking that the team spent 4000 million euros to introduce a young player, which was simply a crazy gamble.

"I believe that now, Laporta has regretted it in his heart, because now 4000 million euros can no longer buy Yang Yang."

Marca and Aspen also believe that Real Madrid missed the most important signing of this summer, and Florentino missed the last chance to please club members and Real Madrid fans.

For Florentino, whose presidency is already in jeopardy, this is also a regretful regret.
