Trouble with the 1441 Finals

Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 2-2 away, eliminated Atletico Madrid in a total score of 5-2, and reached the Champions League final again. This news spread all over the world in a very short time, and countless media and fans were cheering for Real Madrid and Yang Yang.

In another matchup that was one day later than Real Madrid, although Mbappe scored a goal, Monaco eventually lost to Juventus 1-2 away, and lost the Champions League semi-finals 1-4 in the total score.

Although it is tragic, Monaco's performance is remarkable and his results are convincing.

Real Madrid and Juventus met in the final. The showdown between the two traditional giants undoubtedly made the media and fans all over the world feel satisfied. Especially after years of separation, the Serie A team finally reached the Champions League final again. Many people believe that this means that the Serie A league is about to usher in a revival.

As for the competition between Real Madrid and Juventus, most media and fans believe that Real Madrid has the advantage, but Juventus is not without the strength of uproar. Whoever wins and loses the two teams still needs to see their performance in Cardiff.

After helping Real Madrid draw with Atletico Madrid away, Yang Yang began to focus on the King's Cup final and the Champions League final in early June. For him, these are the two games he needs to pay attention to the most next.

As for the remaining two league rounds, he doesn't need to worry too much.

On the contrary, Ajax, who is far away in the Netherlands, made him feel upset.

This time it was not because of the poor grades, on the contrary, the grades were unexpectedly good.

…………

…………

In the evaluation of Yang Yang and Van Gaal, Ajax's strength is roughly at the level of the Europa League quarter-finals, so before the team reached the Europa League quarter-finals, Yang Yang and Van Gaal were not surprised at all, but were more happy.

In the quarterfinals, Schalke Zero 4 encountered Schalke Zero 4 in the Bundesliga. This team did not perform well in the Bundesliga this season, so Ajax still has the power to play and won Schalke Zero 4 at home with Klasson's double score.

Later on the away game, Ajax first lost two goals in a row, and then Weltman accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off by red cards. The team fell into a desperate situation. However, in overtime, the team relied on the goals of Verhefer and Younis. Although the team still lost the game two-to-three, the total score was thrillingly advanced four-to-three.

In the two rounds of the game, Ajax not only won the right to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League, but young player Cruivit also performed well, winning unanimous recognition from Ajax and began to gain a foothold in the first team.

Especially in the second round, the bravery and tenacity shown by the team made Ajax win unanimous praise from the Dutch media and fans, and the management was also happy about the team's achievements.

The real accident happened in the semifinals.

In the first leg, Ajax defeated Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon four-one with Cruivet's two shots and one pass at home, with Yunis and Dorber's goals, which surprised everyone.

You know, although Lyon is no longer the Ligue 1 overlord of that year, his strength cannot be underestimated. They eliminated Serie A and Roma to advance, and Ajax actually defeated his opponent four-one at home, which was equivalent to half of his body squeezing into the UEFA Cup final.

Sure enough, in the second leg, Dorber scored a goal for Ajax in the 27th minute, completely breaking Lyon's hope of turning around at home. In the end, he defended the victory one-to-three and won the right to advance to the UEFA Cup final.

In another field, Manchester United eliminated Vigo Celta with a total score of 2-1 and met Ajax in the final.

Ajax, who is the technical director of Van Gaal, was met with Manchester United coached by Mourinho. This is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the UEFA Cup, but everyone believes that unless Ajax makes a big upset, it is basically unlikely to win Manchester United.

First, their strength is not as good as their opponents, and second, Manchester United's coach is Mourinho. Although the Portuguese has a bit of a crazy temper, their coaching has always been calm. More importantly, the possibility of Manchester United qualifying for the Premier League this season is almost zero. They need the UEFA Cup championship to participate in the Champions League group stage next season.

In this case, Ajax faces Manchester United without any chance.

In this way, for Ajax, advancing to the UEFA Cup final is not a good thing.

...

After the team eliminated Lyon, Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others held a video conference with Yang Yang in France, and the topic of discussion was about Ajax's advance to the UEFA Cup final.

Standing from the perspective of the players, from the team, and from the perspective of the fans, this is an absolute victory and will definitely be regarded by the media as a signal of Ajax's revival.

But from the perspective of club operators, the conclusion may not be.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Yang Yang's smile was somewhat bitter.

Seeing that he was so honest, Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Is it a good thing to reach the finals?

Yes, but not!

Needless to say, it is worth not much money but there is a lot of honor.

In front of outsiders, or even in front of players, Ajax must continue to shout slogans of winning the championship, but in fact, everyone knows that the possibility of defeating Manchester United is very small.

This will be a final worth tens of millions of euros. Manchester United will devote all the resources of the team. In contrast, Ajax can only rely on hard work, and the two are too far apart.

Of course, even if you fail to win the championship, it is an honor to advance to the final, but the problem lies with Ajax.

Whether it is Yang Yang, Van Gaal, or Van der Sar, management teams such as he never thought that Ajax would be exposed to the mainstream European media so quickly because they could not withstand the poaching of the five major league teams.

But now, I have passed the hurdles and reached the Europa League final. The possibility of winning the championship is not high, and I have received very few bonuses. Instead, I have taken out all my belongings.

What is waiting for Ajax next will be the eyes that are like wolves and tigers around you.

For Ajax today, the finals are not much different, but after entering the finals, it is unusual to attract attention, especially the team's players, their minds will also expand. Can Ajax still retain people?

If you are not careful, you will reach the UEFA Cup final this time and may even interrupt Ajax's plan to revive.

...

"I haven't made much money, but there are a lot of trouble." Yang Yang smiled bitterly.

"Just finished the quarterfinals, Schalke Zero Four was asking about Ziyech and Dorber. After the quarterfinals, Lyon was also concerned about Younis, Cruivet Jr., and Manchester United. They were also paying attention to Dorber and Davidson Sanchez..."

Van Gaal also sighed when he said this. Ajax's current situation is really troublesome.

If several of the leading players who performed well this season were poached, what else would Ajax play next season?

"How is Pete Boss?" Yang Yang asked.

Pete Boss signed a three-year contract with Ajax, who can lead Ajax to the UEFA Cup final. He can be said to have become famous in one game. If other higher-level teams really extend an olive branch to him, he may not be moved.

After all, the resources that teams in the five major leagues can enjoy are not what Ajax can give.

"There are indeed teams watching him, and Dortmund looks quite interested and has been chasing our game, but Pete Boss said he has no plans to leave Ajax," Van der Sar said.

Yang Yang shook his head gently, just listen to these words, he is really a fool.

In professional football, loyalty is always a rare luxury. No one or any team can place their hopes on the loyalty of others. That is the most unreliable.

"We will be ready as soon as possible." Van Gaal sighed, "If even he is leaving, our plan will have to be changed drastically."

Ajax's plan was formulated as early as January and February. What the team wants most is to further consolidate the team's strength based on this season, return to the Champions League group stage as soon as possible, and stay in the Champions League group stage for a long time. This is Ajax's sustainable development plan.

A season emerges, let alone not to mention not being able to win the Europa League, even if you get it, your family’s assets will be poached and your strength will quickly drop. If you still can’t make it to the Champions League next season, it will be worth the loss.

Although Ajax will receive a large transfer fee, you should know that in today's European football, players' value and salary skyrocket, and the depreciation speed of money is amazing, and talent is the most important thing.

"Now that these are useless, we must prepare as soon as possible. Even if we really have to reach the unscrupulous step, we must not suffer any losses. We must guarantee the interests of the club no matter what."

Yang Yang's words were recognized by Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others.

Now, regret is useless.

After all, the team's reaching the finals should be a happy event. As for whether Ajax can keep people in the transfer market this summer, these are all troubles that will only arise in the future.

"By the way, the second team performed well this year, and these young players should all reward them well." Yang Yang was very satisfied with the performance of Ajax second team, because they won the runner-up in the Durred Second League this year, but due to the rules, they missed the opportunity to upgrade to the playoffs.

Of course, Ajax is not the only one. Eindhoven's second team ranked fourth and performed well.

At present, Ajax second team has seen a group of outstanding good seedlings, including Dricht, Cruivet, Van der Beck, Frankie Dejong, Rosario, Stens and other young players. Even Sancho and Ndongbele from the first team often follow the second team to the Dutch second league, which is also the guarantee that the team can win the runner-up.

This includes Ajax's own youth training, such as De Rigt, Van der Beck and others, as well as those introduced by Yang Yang's youth training reform after taking over, such as Rosario, Stens, Sancho and Ndongbele.

One thing is certain that this group of players will become the future of Ajax.

But now, the agreement between Yang Yang and the Supervisory Council seems a bit difficult to deal with.
