Chapter 233 Iron Man
"Ajax took the lead in making a substitution adjustment."
"Yang Yang, wearing the NO.11 jersey, replaced Tom Demoore."
"After playing the European Super Cup, Yang Yang returned to Asia to participate in the national team's competition. It was during this period of his absence that Ajax lost points in a row, widening the gap with PSV and Feyenoord."
"It can be said that throughout September and October, Ajax fans have been waiting for Yang Yang's return."
"The fans at the scene are shouting for Yang Yang. His popularity in the club is very high, and everyone has high hopes for him."
"I don't know if Yang Yang can repeat his outstanding performance against Kuwait three days ago tonight."
…………
…………
Amid the cheers of the fans, Yang Yang formally stepped into the stadium after hugging Demour.
This is the first time he has come off the bench for Ajax this season, and there is a feeling of familiarity.
But familiar teammates such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart, and Trabelsi are gone, replaced by the unfamiliar Charisteas.
No matter from which point of view, it is difficult for the Greek center to replace Ibrahimovic's role on the front line.
Although, his tactical role seems to be higher.
After Yang Yang took a deep breath, he quickly rushed to the right half, directly facing the opponent's left player Filipovich.
Whether it was Filipovich or Bodor, they were also present when Ajax beat Roda JC [-]-[-] in an away game last season, and they were quite afraid of Yang Yang.
In the entire Dutch football world, who doesn't know the nickname of Yang Yang's gold medal substitute last season?
As the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.
Being able to make the opponent's defensive players afraid should have been something to be happy about, but now Yang Yang feels quite depressed.
Because both Filipovich and Bodor followed him closely, and Filipovich did not actively attack forward.
Obviously, this is the arrangement of the head coach on the sidelines.
A zero-to-zero draw is acceptable to Roda JC, but not to Ajax.
Yang Yang's plan before playing didn't work, he had to change his mind and run patiently, looking for opportunities.
Soon, after receiving a pass from Sneijder in the right rib, he swung past the defender and sent the ball to Charisteas with his left foot.
The Greek center forward received the ball at the top of the arc in front of the penalty area, but he failed to stop the ball with his first kick, which made it impossible to turn around and shoot, and even lost the ball.
He is not Ibrahimovic after all.
Yang Yang raised his right hand towards the Greek center apologetically, and took the initiative to take on the mistake.
He no longer needs to prove himself, but Charisteas still needs to build confidence in the team.
Soon, Yang Yang got another chance. After receiving the pass from De Jong, Yang Yang retreated and left Filippovic behind. However, Pienaar failed to understand the intention and did not insert it in time, causing the ball to go directly out of the baseline.
Both offenses had ideas but failed to create a threat.
Ronald Koeman still couldn't sit still on the sidelines and finally made a second substitution.
Wesley Songk replaced veteran Garasek.
In this way, Ajax returned to the familiar four-three-three formation, with Wesley Sonck as the left winger, forming a front trident with Charisteas and Yang Yang, and Pienaar returned to the midfield to partner with Sneijder and De Jong.
At this time, the time has reached 73 minutes.
Ronald Koeman obviously still hopes that the team can play more proactively and create more opportunities.
Yang Yang gained more freedom on the right, began to actively expand his area of activity, and actively interspersed running to find opportunities, but the two wide players of Roda JC followed him closely, making it difficult for him to get opportunities to perform.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally eight or ten minutes passed.
The Ajax fans who had expected Yang Yang to play to change the situation gradually calmed down, realizing that the opponent's difficulty was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
But what to do next?
Ronald Koeman is out of action, he has nothing to do.
These players on the field are already the best offensive combination he can form, how else can he change?
If even Yang Yang can't do anything, then there is really nothing he can do.
Luo Da JC is more confident as he defends.
Zero to zero is a victory for them.
But now, they seem to see the goddess of victory waving towards them.
Ajax is still patiently looking for opportunities. The advantage of Sneijder and Pienaar is that they are calm enough.
Yang Yang was not in a hurry either, because everyone told him that the more critical the moment, the more rational he should be.
Ronald Koeman also realized that the right back Griguela did not give Yang Yang enough support, and he was always surrounded by two players alone.
After Gregera's position was moved forward, Yang Yang's pressure was much easier.
Originally, the intention of the connection between Sneijder and Yang Yang was too obvious, but after Grigera advanced, there was an extra connection point in the middle, and it became a triangle pass, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.
Soon, the triangle pass on the right created an opportunity.
After Yang Yang received the pass from Pienaer on the right rib, he had no chance and passed it back to Sneijder. He did not run away, but followed Bodor.
Sneijder, who cooperated more and more tacitly with Yang Yang, was very aware of Yang Yang's intentions. When Bodor came out to the front of the penalty area, there was an opportunity behind him, and Yang Yang had an advantage in speed.
But it is definitely not possible to pass directly like this. Yang Yang will be stuck behind Bodor and will not be able to catch the ball.
Therefore, Sneijder quickly assigned it to Grigera, signaling him to pass it diagonally to Yang Yang.
After Grigera received the ball, at the moment when he made a diagonal pass, Yang Yang quickly started, and inserted from Bodor's right side to behind him.
Grigera's idea is that the ball is passed, but the force is a bit strong, and it is passed directly to the bottom line.
This was beyond the expectations of Sneijder and Yang Yang.
But there is no other way, Yang Yang can only continue to speed up to catch up.
"Grigera made a big pass."
"But Yang Yang still didn't give up."
"Bodor was hot on his heels."
Yang Yang also knew clearly that Bodor was chasing after him, but he had no choice but to catch up with the fastest speed, otherwise the ball would go out of the baseline.
Finally, he caught up with the football before the ball went out of the baseline, but Bodor had also caught up to his left.
At that moment, Yang Yang knew clearly that he didn't have the angle to cross, and he would only hit Bodor if he forced a cross, which would be a corner kick at most.
But now he is already on the edge of the penalty area, what a great opportunity.
Immediately, Yang Yang made an emergency stop and smashed the ball before the baseline, without going out of bounds. He himself rushed out of the baseline due to inertia, but quickly stabilized his figure.
Bodor next to him was not so lucky. After all, he responded in a hurry and rushed out directly.
Yang Yang quickly moved the football horizontally with his left foot and rushed into the penalty area. At the same time, he used his body to block Bodor who was outside the baseline. At this time, all the advantages were on his side.
Bodor didn't dare to foul at all, and he didn't even dare to touch Yang Yang.
As long as he touches it, Yang Yang falls down, and that is a penalty.
After Yang Yang blocked Bodor with his body, he dribbled the ball towards the goal close to the baseline.
The goalkeeper of Luoda JC blocked the goal post tightly, leaving no shooting angle for Yang Yang, and the opponent's central defender quickly returned to the defense and stood beside the goalkeeper.
In this case, Yang Yang has no angle.
But Yang Yang didn't give the opponent any time to react. When he quickly dribbled the ball horizontally to the front of the small penalty area, he suddenly swayed and buckled the ball to the left.
As soon as the opponent raised his right foot, Yang Yang gently pushed the ball horizontally with his left foot.
In this way, the ball crossed under the opponent's raised right foot, forming a crotch piercing, and rolled behind the opponent.
It was also at this moment that Charisteas suddenly came to his senses and swept his right foot lightly.
The ball hit his right foot, changed direction and rolled into Rhoda JC's goal.
The Greek center is dumbfounded!
But the fans at the scene went crazy!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"No. 807 minutes, Ajax finally broke through Roda JC's goal!"
"Yang Yang's dribbling breakthrough on the right was very exciting. When Grigera passed the ball big, Yang Yang still did not give up. He finally intercepted the ball before chasing to the bottom line. At the same time, he also broke through Bodor's defense and dribbled the ball into the penalty area."
"Afterwards, when all the shooting angles were blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper and central defender, he just relied on feints to deceive a little space for passing the ball, and passed the ball through the crotch to Charisteas who responded in the middle."
"The Greek center forward can be said to have picked up a big deal. What he has to do is very simple. He only needs to kick the ball into the empty goal. Neither the opponent's goalkeeper nor the central defender can affect him."
"One to zero!"
"Ajax finally scored in No.807 minutes!"
"Yang Yang! It's still Yang Yang!"
"At the critical moment, Yang Yang's outstanding performance saved Ajax!"
"After saving the Chinese national team and Ali Han three days ago, Yang Yang saved Ajax and Ronald Koeman tonight."
"He's amazing!"
"The media conducted statistics before the game. Yang Yang flew from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing on the [-]th, then flew from Beijing to Amsterdam, then flew to Kuwait City, and finally returned to Amsterdam from Kuwait. The whole journey was [-] kilometers. From the [-]th to the [-]th, in just eight days, Yang Yang played three games."
"Eight days, three races, [-] kilometers, he can be said to be an iron man. What's even more rare is that he played a key role in all three races, which makes people have to admire his excellence."
"The biggest credit for Charisteas' goal should belong to Yang Yang, and if Ajax wins tonight, Yang Yang will undoubtedly become the team's number one contributor."
"The Ajax fans at the scene are already boiling."
"They are all cheering Yang Yang's name, it will be Ajax's first victory in two months."
"The returning Yang Yang made them enjoy the joy of victory once again."
