Chapter 74 Yang Yang's Chance
Den Bosch, De Williert Stadium.
Yang Yang's hands were hanging on his sides, the bean-sized beads of sweat gathered into streams, slid down his arms, and finally dripped from his fingertips.
The heavy panting made everyone see how exhausted he was at this moment.
The game has gone on for 10 minutes, but the score between the two sides is still zero to zero.
Den Bosch can tie with Helmond and become the leader of the Dutch second league. Naturally, his strength should not be underestimated, and even compared to some Dutch teams, he is not inferior at all.
More importantly, they did not try their best in this game.
It's like Yang Yang's left back, the main player is the young and strong 25-year-old Bas Peggis, but in this game Den Bosch's coach Gert Kruis arranged for the veteran Patrick Peren, who is 35 years old, and the 17-year-old Piet Kuigipels is sitting on the bench.
The characteristics of these three left backs are obviously different. Peggs is in his prime, tall and strong, capable of playing the positions of left center back and left back. After inserting a 45-degree cross, he is a good player and an important means for Den Bosch's offense.
Perun is a veteran with a lot of experience, but after all, he is not young and lacks physical fitness. He has always been a substitute for Pages. As for the young player Kuigipels, he has never played in the first team.
It is not difficult to see that Cruys did not take the Dutch Cup too seriously, and paid more attention to the Dutch second league.
But even so, it still caused considerable trouble for Ajax.
This is the first time since Yang Yang joined Ajax that he felt passive on the scene.
Vermaelen performed very well on the defensive line. Although he is not tall, he is extremely accurate in judging the ball's placement. He has resolved the opponent's cross several times, and his defense is becoming more and more skillful, especially facing the opponent's high center forward Barry Powell.
The opponent is much taller than Vermaelen, but it is difficult to take advantage of the Belgian central defender. Whether it is a header or a defense around the front, the Belgian central defender has performed very well.
During the intermission, he joked to Yang Yang that it was all caused by Ibrahimovic.
But throughout the game, the second Ajax team was under unprecedented pressure.
Yang Yang felt as if he had returned to the way he played football in Almere, especially in the amateur game. This feeling of familiarity and strangeness was very strange.
His performance in this match was not ideal either, mainly because Patrick Peren, a Dutch veteran with a beard, was extremely experienced. It was difficult to beat him with the pendulum that was invincible in the past.
Yang Yang was having a hard time here, as were Babel on the left and Benson in the center. Even Crohn and Maduro in the midfield were tightly suppressed by their opponents, and it was difficult to pass the ball to the frontcourt.
The only thing worth mentioning is that Vermaelen performed well and led the team's defense to be fairly solid.
Yang Yang glanced angrily at the bearded man in front of him, and cursed inwardly, he is 35 years old, and this old man is quite resilient.
Well, it depends on how long you can last.
Seeing that his midfielder Kroen couldn't find a point of exit, Yang Yang quickly ran back and raised his hand to catch the ball.
Perun hesitated for a moment, but immediately followed.
…………
…………
Gert Kruiz stood on the sidelines looking very calm.
At the age of 42, his career was not brilliant. After retiring, he turned into a head coach, but he started very high. In the summer of [-], Leeuwarden changed coaches decisively after his success from the Eredivisie League. He became the new coach of Leeuwarden and led the team.
After playing in the Eredivisie for two seasons, Leeuwarden still failed to stay in the end, but Cruys was still reused by the management and took on the task of leading the team back to the Eredivisie. He was not fired until after two consecutive years of setbacks and repeated decline in performance.
But this resume soon got him an invitation from Den Bosch, who had just been relegated from the Eredivisie.
Last season, the team experienced the pain of relegation and failed to return to the Eredivisie, but so far this season, the team has performed very well, and the hope of advancing to the top has greatly increased. It is currently tied for the top of the league with the same points as Helmond.
But Den Bosch had one more game than his opponent.
The Holland Cup happened to be in the middle of the two league games, which made Cruys, who was burdened with the responsibility of advancing to the top, dare not take any risks, so he did not send his main players to play in this game, but it does not mean that he does not pay attention to it.
In fact, when facing Eredivisie Zwolle in the second round, Cruys chose to smash his opponent at home, and eliminated Zwolle [-]-[-], and successfully advanced to the third round.
But until now in the game, he had to admit his misjudgment.
He and the coaching staff were very optimistic when they were drawn to the second team of Ajax. This is the only reserve team in the third knockout round of the Dutch Cup. Isn't this a chance for Den Bosch to advance?
But when it came to the game, he was surprised to find that a giant is a giant after all, and the strong talent pool allowed Ajax, even if it was just a reserve team, to be able to compete with Den Bosch.
Vermaelen on the back line was the most eye-catching player in the game. His presence completely froze the high center forward Barry Powell, which made Den Bosch's offense lose half of the threat. In addition, the other two offensive firepowers, Van Delajak and Stefan Jansen, were not included in the squad. It was difficult for Den Bosch's offense to create a threat.
Ajax's three players in the frontcourt are also quite distinctive. Needless to say Babel on the left, a genius recognized throughout the Netherlands and a star of hope in the future, Benson in the middle is very fast, and he played very threateningly on several counterattacks.
The only one is the black-haired Chinese on the right. He performed well in the previous two games, but this one failed.
It seems that choosing to defend him with the more experienced Perun is a very correct choice.
Whether it is the tall but inflexible and slow-moving Peggys, or the young, inexperienced and reckless Kuigipels, it is difficult to be as safe as Perun.
Zero to zero should be regarded as a favorable score for Den Bosch.
After all, Van Basten led the reserve team. He was too young, and he became more and more impatient in the end, especially as his physical fitness declined.
According to the Holland Cup competition system, overtime will be played if the score is [-]-[-], and a penalty shoot-out will be entered if the tie is still tied.
At that time, the one with the best chance of winning is still Den Bosch.
In this regard, Cruiz is full of confidence.

"Yang Yang is back again." Assistant coach John Fanskip said.
Yang Yang, who retreated to meet the midfielder, received a pass from Kroen, and without waiting for Perun behind him to follow up, he quickly made a pass back from the right, and passed a long pass to the right back Dwight Tiendali on the back line.
This Dutch player of Suriname origin has just turned full. He is the main right back of the second team this season. He has good body and speed, and his defense is relatively stable, especially the ability to dribble the ball from the right side.
Before, the technical team evaluated him as lack of determination, because the coaching staff suggested that he strengthen cross training, but as a result, for a long time, he seemed to have no willingness to work hard to strengthen training, and the cross was still terrible.
This is why Koeman is unwilling to transfer him into the first team as Trabelsi's substitute.
"There is no chance to stay in the frontcourt." Rob Weitzger said.
Den Bosch's advantage in this game is obvious, and the defense is also very solid, which puts a lot of pressure on the Ajax second team. It is difficult for the frontcourt players to hold the ball, and even if they do, it is difficult to form a cooperation.
Yang Yang, the team's most capable right winger, also died down in this game.
It has to be said that the opponent used the more experienced veteran Perun to defend him, which is indeed very targeted.
Although it is difficult to form an offensive threat in the frontcourt, Yang Yang actively withdraws to respond to the ball and transition in the midfield, and has also participated in the return defense many times. It should be said that his performance is worthy of recognition.
However, once he comes back, whether it is Babel or Benson, the situation will be even more worrying.
"Peren has been following him." Van Basten said suddenly.
Fanskip and Weitzger were a little surprised, not understanding what this meant.
"Whether it's us watching the game from the sidelines or the fans in the stands, our understanding of the game is far inferior to that of the players on the court. Just look at Perun's reaction to see how Yang Yang performs."
Both were professional players, and Van Schip and Weitzger quickly realized it.
As an experienced veteran, Perun has been following Yang Yang throughout the game. This must not only come from the pre-match instruction of the head coach, but also his own perception of the game. The only reasonable explanation is that he knows that he cannot give Yang Yang loose space to hold the ball.
"Perun is 35 years old, and we and Den Bosch each have one substitution quota. Do you think Cruys will replace him?" Van Schip suddenly asked with a bright eye.
There is a substitute right back on Den Bosch's bench, that is, the 17-year-old teenager Kuigipels. This player has not played in the first team so far. Can he get a chance today?
Replacing the experienced veteran Perun and replacing Kuigipels, Yang Yang will get more room to move on the right.
But what if Perun is not replaced?
Yang Yang retreated, obviously consciously expanding his range of activities, and he wanted to compete with Pei Lun for consumption.
This is obviously impossible.
Ajax's second team has a lot of pressure in the midfield and backcourt, it is difficult to support Yang Yang, and everything can only be relied on by himself.
As long as he can play open on Perun's side, Ajax has a chance to win.
Thinking of this, Van Basten clapped his hands vigorously, gritted his teeth and nodded: "The last place is reserved."
Ajax does not make substitutions, and Cruiz probably will not make substitutions easily. What if the game is really dragged into overtime?
This is the opportunity he won for Yang Yang as the head coach.
Brothers, rekindle and vote!
Thanks to [Acacia Tears in Dreams] and [Poverty, Guess] for their rewards!
