1523 Yang Yang's Victory
Yang Yang is accused!
This news spread rapidly around the world.
As the focus of media and fans around the world, Yang Yang's every move is already eye-catching. Ajax drew 2-2 away from home in the first leg. It is not good to say good, and it is not bad to say bad. The media and fans can't find any excitement.
But unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, UEFA delivered it to the door.
For a moment, the whole world was in a mess.
Is there any more hot news?
Yang Yang was actually sued by Standard Liege!
Reason: Unlicensed coaching!
This is severity comparable to driving without a license.
For a time, media from all over the world flocked to the top, and various rumors were heard everywhere, and various analyses came one after another.
Some people think that Liege is playing outside the game, and he wants to suspend Yang Yang if he can't beat Ajax on the court.
Everyone believes that if Yang Yang plays in the second round, then Standard Liege is a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Can they still block Yang Yang with their tofu-like defense line?"
"Prudholm just knew, so he tried every means to suspend Yang Yang."
"It's so sinister, I actually used such an external move."
But there are also many media who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, thinking that Yang Yang should be punished, even if he is an old driver, he cannot drive without a license.
Some people even believe that the suspension of Yang Yang will push Ajax to a dead end.
"From the first round of the two sides, Ajax is on the verge of the slightest, looks like he does not have the ability to fight for a long time, is too young, and lacks continuous and stable performance in the ninety-minute game, which is very fatal."
"Losing Yang Yang's command on the sidelines and his chance to play will hit Ajax very hard."
After some "professional" analysis, many media believe that Yang Yang's coaching journey in Ajax will end in failure, because although he is a great player, he is by no means a successful head coach.
"At least, he should consider coaching after getting his coaching certificate."
"Maybe, he is now regretting his hasty decision to leave Real Madrid."
"There is no doubt that Yang Yang is a great player. As a coach, he is also an excellent assistant, but as a head coach who is independent, he is obviously too immature."
What's more, it was revealed that Ajax is plotting to change coaches because Yang Yang may face a long-term ban.
"Ajax cannot accept that his head coach position is vacant for a long time, and changing coaches has become an inevitable choice."
...
The media around the world were in a panic, all the fans were discussing it hotly, and all kinds of rumors were endless.
UEFA also showed a very rare efficiency this time, because the third round of the Champions League qualifiers will be held next Wednesday, so they went to Amsterdam to investigate the next day after receiving the report from Standard Liege.
After returning to Switzerland for consultation on the third day, the official reply was given on the morning of the fourth day.
UEFA held a press conference again at the Swiss headquarters to answer media questions specifically about Yang Yang's incident.
Regarding Yang Yang and Ajax, UEFA said that both sides were frank and were aware of their mistakes and actively cooperated with UEFA's investigation and evidence collection. The investigation results showed that Yang Yang was indeed Ajax's essential head coach, and Xavi Alonso was just an assistant coach. This is a fact.
A UEFA spokesperson also explained Yang Yang's current problem. He said that Yang Yang is actually qualified to obtain the top coaching certificate. The reason why he failed to obtain the certificate is because there is a clause that requires applicants to have at least one year of experience in coaching the youth team, which is what Yang Yang lacks.
Because of this clause, Yang Yang has not been able to obtain the coaching certificate for a long time, which is why this situation occurs.
"According to our investigation in Amsterdam, both Ajax's management, technical team, Ajax's first team and youth team players, coaching staff and staff praised Yang Yang's ability. They all expressed their trust in Yang Yang's coaching ability during the investigation."
A UEFA spokesman believes that it is beyond doubt that Yang Yang violated the regulations, but he did not cause too bad effects. He violated the rules as a coach and had little to do with his identity as a player at the same time.
“We cannot deprive him of his right to play as a player because of his violations on the coaching bench.”
Therefore, the final punishment given by UEFA is that Yang Yang was suspended for four months because of his unlicensed coaching and will face a huge fine of up to 200,000 euros. In addition, UEFA also requires him not to serve as head coach of any team before he obtains the coaching certificate."
As for player identity, a UEFA spokesperson said that Yang Yang is a superstar respected by everyone. He has not violated his professional player identity and ethics and will not be sentenced to ban.
As for the application proposed by Standard Liege, which hopes to overturn the first-round match results, UEFA officials said this is impossible.
...
UEFA's trial hammer was raised high, but it finally fell gently, which surprised many people, but it was reasonable.
Many media and fans talked about it with relish, because a situation like Yang Yang is truly unique.
He led the team to participate in the Champions League as a player and head coach, but was sued by his opponent for violation. Now he has been suspended for four months as a head coach, but he can continue to participate in the Champions League as a player. This is really interesting.
The Dutch media shouted even more that this was Yang Yang's victory!
Because next, Yang Yang will continue to lead the team to participate in the game as a player.
"His only loss is that he can no longer sit on the head coach's seat, but standing in front of the bench to command the game will probably not affect his performance."
Ajax also responded to UEFA's penalties quickly, saying that the team respects and will continue to abide by UEFA's regulations.
A club spokesperson said that Yang Yang has been officially removed from the Ajax coaching roster and he is no longer the team's first team head coach, "but he is still the most important player in our first team."
Finally, Ajax's spokesperson responded to the fans' concerns with jokingly, "We will put Yang Yang on the roster in every game." The implication is that he can command the team on the bench in every game.
This sudden and explosive news ended with such a comedy. It was incredible, but it also touched the mood of media and fans all over the world. They were all curious about how Yang Yang led the team's performance?
Why is Standard Liege so afraid of him?
This immediately made many fans who didn't care about the Champions League qualifiers suddenly become concerned.
Even many countries and regions in the world that did not originally intend to broadcast this game live have changed their minds and temporarily decided to broadcast this game live so that more fans can see the teams Yang Yang brought out with their own eyes.
Whether it is defeating Standard Liege at home or being reversed by Standard Liege in the end, that is a very satisfying thing.
...
While the whole world was still immersed in the news created by Yang Yang, the first round of the Eredivisie League quietly opened fire.
In recent years, the Eredivisie has become increasingly lonely and has even ranked outside the top ten in the European League.
According to the current European points, if the results of the Eredivisie team this season do not break through, the Eredivisie will face a worse dilemma next season, that is, the runner-up of the Eredivisie will start from the second round of the Champions League perimeter qualifiers.
This is undoubtedly a huge loss for the old leagues, because it represents the further decline of the Eredivisie.
Although Yang Yang's joining brought huge eye benefits, the Eredivisie overall did not have much attractiveness.
...
Ajax played against Hercules at home in the first round.
Due to the mid-week Champions League match, Yang Yang performed a large rotation in this game.
The frontcourt tridents were all won, replaced by the trident combination of Mullen, Boadu and Stens. The oldest of these three players, Stens, is only nineteen years old, and Boadu is even seventeen years old.
In the midfield, veteran Shene and young player Rosario have paired up with two midfielders, and Odegao serves as the front midfielder, controlling the midfield in full.
The defense line has basically changed. Durricht partnered with Feltman to form a central defender, Dumfries served as the right back, and if Ger served as the left back, the goalkeeper is still Onana.
As early as when coaching Real Madrid, Yang Yang and Zidane were known for their bold rotations, and both of them dared to take risks. This time, when coaching Ajax, Yang Yang once again showed his courage and rotated a total of nine players.
But even so, Ajax still controls the situation in the whole game, with a ball possession rate of nearly 70%, allowing Ajax to show his strength in front of home fans.
The young player Odegao performed very well in the midfield. In the 36th minute of the first half, he used it and inserted it, which led the first goal for Ajax to break through the opponent's goal.
After the second half of the game, he sent another pass, assisted Mullen to score a single goal, winning another goal for Ajax.
In the final stage of the game, Ajax captain De Rigt headed the ball with a corner kick opportunity to secure the victory for Ajax.
In the end, at Cruyff Stadium, Ajax defeated Herakles three-to-zero and scored all three points.
More importantly, in this game, Ajax scored twenty-three shots in the whole game, with a slightly worse shot, only seven times, but he scored three goals, which was not outstanding, but he lacked the ability to seize opportunities.
However, it is difficult for everyone to put forward higher requirements for this set of frontcourt tridents with an average age of only 18 years old.
Through this game, Yang Yang also showed the football style he wanted to Ajax fans, which is to attack faster and sharper.
Although he turned Ajax's traditional single midfielder into a double midfielder, because he further released the offensive firepower of two full-backs, the team's offensive strength not only did not decline, but also further improved.
