On the evening of October 3, Cruyff Stadium, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

In the second round of the Champions League group stage group b, Ajax faced Inter Milan at home.

When the game reached the third minute, Ajax quickly launched a counterattack.

On the right, Ashraf inserted into the right corner of Inter Milan's penalty area at a very fast speed. After receiving Sancho's pass, he passed to the back point of the goal. Jovic blocked Devre with his body, grabbed the first landing point, and headed the ball back to the middle in front of the goal.

Inter Milan central defender Skriniar, who was ambushed in the small penalty area, quickly stepped forward and wanted to clear the ball, but unexpectedly, someone took the lead. The Slovak central defender was also very brave and chose to block it without hesitation.

But the man faced Jovic's header and directly volleyed, knocking the ball into Inter Milan's goal.

In an instant, the entire Cruyff Stadium was churning!

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"

"Yang Yang!!!"

"Just just three minutes into the opening game, Yang Yang broke the deadlock for Ajax!"

"Ajax's offensive after the opening game was very strong, and this is Yang Yang's third goal in the Champions League this season."

"Inter Milan obviously had no defense against Yang Yang's back insertion. Although Skriniar was brave, he was still one step slower. Jovic's header was very good this time. After landing and rebounding, Yang Yang directly hit the air."

"One to zero! Ajax is leading for the time being!"

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he was cheered by more than 50,000 Ajax fans in the game. He quickly ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with Ajax players.

This is the second great opportunity Ajax has created since the start of this game.

Just one minute ago, after Yang Yang got the ball on the right, he got rid of the defensive player and sent a straight pass behind him to help Jovic form a single shot. However, the Serbian center was a little surprised by this sudden opportunity, and failed to make a shot and missed the opportunity to have a unique skill.

Fortunately, one minute later, he made up for his mistakes, used a header to ferry, and Yang Yang, who was inserted into the assist, scored a goal.

One to zero!

…………

Inter Milan coach Spaletti stood on the sidelines and shook his head helplessly.

He guessed that Yang Yang might start, but he didn't expect that Ajax's opening offensive would come so fiercely.

This team seemed to be playing crazy, with a frightening pace.

"With this rhythm, can they play for ninety minutes?" Spaletti didn't believe it.

But judging from the match between Ajax and Bayern Munich, it seems that there is really such a possibility.

It’s good to be young!

Spaletti also had to admit that the Ajax trained by Yang Yang is really full of strength. The fight is really beautiful, the offensive is fierce and the pace is fast, making it difficult for people to keep up.

This team's offensive can create many opportunities, and what Yang Yang is best at is seizing opportunities.

Therefore, Spaletti knew very well that he could neither defend his life to challenge Ajax away, but he could not fight for his life.

Many people have the impression of Spaletti as his team-of-wolf-tactic tactic in Rome, and thinks he advocates offensive football. But in fact, as the head coach of Italy, Spaletti does not lack a pragmatic and conservative side.

Neither dare to put in a big attack or defend with all your might, then you can only start to be stable.

But unexpectedly, Ajax stole one from the beginning.

This is Inter Milan's luck. If Jovic's ability to seize opportunities is stronger, then Inter Milan will lose two at the beginning, which is really a fatal disaster.

Now that he has lost one goal, Spaletti is not in a hurry and continues to adopt a steady counterattack tactic, hoping to hold Ajax away.

Youth is always full of energy, especially after scoring a goal, you will inevitably feel hot.

In this case, mistakes will inevitably occur. As long as Inter Milan is on guard, Spaletti believes that there will be a chance.

However, he did not expect that after scoring the first goal, Ajax began to gradually stabilize the rhythm, no longer put a big push like the three minutes before the game, and fought desperately, but was slowing down the rhythm appropriately and controlling the ball.

On the court, Yang Yang, who replaced Van der Beck and played in the midfield, kept commanding the team. His shouts came one after another on the court, obviously reminding his players and teammates. This made Spaletti a little admired and felt depressed.

If Ajax does not continue to push forward, how can Inter Milan fight back?

But Yang Yang is able to judge the situation on the court, which has to be said to be a kind of wisdom.

…………

…………

Xavi Alonso stood in front of the home team coach's seat, watching Yang Yang who kept signaling the players to stabilize the rhythm on the court, his heart was really mixed.

This is not what Yang Yang wants, but he has to do it.

Long before the game, Yang Yang analyzed Inter Milan with Xavi Alonso, believing that it is not difficult to defeat this team. The tactics are very simple. Just give the ball to Inter Milan. His side is ready to fight and focus on defensive counterattacks. The central defender restrained Icardi. The two full-backs reduced forwards and protected both wings. Once they seized the opportunity to counterattack, one shot and the other was accurate.

Icardi was asked by Spaletti to undertake more tactical tasks this season. He no longer just scores, but also has to pull out to meet his teammates, which makes it difficult for him to focus on goals.

But what is more important is Inter Milan's midfield and frontcourt.

Nayinggolan, Besino and Perisic have different passing abilities.

So far this season, Brozovic has the highest pass success rate in the entire midfield and frontcourt, reaching 90%. He can be said to be the team's veritable core player. For the other players, Besino and Nayinggolan, they are about 80%, while Perisic is only 75%.

If we arrive at the frontcourt with greater defensive pressure, Besino is only 70%, Nayinggolan is only 75%, and Perisic is only 64%.

Facing such a team, Ajax's best and most pragmatic tactic is to counterattack defensively and pull out the opponent to fight.

But there is one problem, that is, Yang Yang is worried that Ajax's young players can't hold on.

This is a very serious problem. Young players themselves lack stability. Even Yang Yang cannot guarantee that they will remain efficient and stable within ninety minutes.

Offense and defense are completely different. If a mistake occurs in the offense, the worst thing is to lose the ball and grab it back. But once you make a mistake in the defense, it is likely to cause the ball to be lost.

It is also for this level of consideration that Yang Yang adopted another strategy, which is to control the ball.

When Harvey Alonso thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in secret.

This is how coaching a weak team. It has better tactics, but it may not be applicable to you.

If he was coaching Real Madrid, then Yang Yang would definitely give up the ball now, focus on pressing and pressing the midfield, defending and counterattacking, and maybe he could score a few goals from Inter Milan.

But unfortunately, Yang Yang coached Ajax.

…………

…………

The battle between Yang Yang and Spaletti put the situation on the field in a deadlock.

But in the 26th minute, Inter Milan got a good opportunity.

After stealing Ajax's pass, he quickly counterattacked and teleported to the penalty area. Icardi used his body to withstand De Rigt, and stopped the long pass, and passed it to the right side of the penalty spot. Besino, who was inserted, directly shot with a volley, but it turned into an anti-aircraft gun.

He failed to score, but he sounded a wake-up call for Ajax.

Ten minutes later, Politano from the right made a cross, and Icardi headed the ball in the front of the small penalty area to a far corner, slid slightly out of the goal, which made people sweat again.

And finally, before the first half was about to end, Ajax's defense really made a mistake.

After continuous passes, he made a mistake in Inter Milan's high-level pressing. After intercepting the ball, he quickly counterattacked. Icardi shot on the right side of the penalty area, hit De Rigt's leg, and rebounded to the front of the penalty area. Nayinggolan inserted in the back row, took the lead and shot a long shot, piercing through Ajax's goal.

One to one!

Inter Milan equalized the score!

In the final first half, the two sides shook hands one-to-one.

…………

…………

The first half ended one-to-one.

When Yang Yang got the first half data, he became even more depressed by the result.

After Nayinggolan's pass success rate was pitiful 64%, Besino was only 63%, and Perisic was even worse, only 55%, which means that Inter Milan made a mistake in almost every two passes.

The one-to-one score, compared with this series of data, not only showed the success of Yang Yang's tactics, but also exposed the problem of Ajax, that is, the offense is still not enough.

"You alone cannot do it." Harvey Alonso patted Yang Yang's shoulder and said helplessly.

This is because Yang Yang repeatedly reminds the players to try his best to suppress their opponents and control the rhythm. If they really let go of their hands and feet, the pace of the game will be faster and Ajax will be more unfavorable.

Because Inter Milan just wants Ajax to play crazy, so they have a better chance, especially in the second half of the game, as Ajax consumes a lot of physical energy, Inter Milan's counterattack will come.

Yang Yang understood Xavi Alonso's depression. If Inter Milan had played such a game from the perspective of a top team, he would have been disabled, but Ajax was tied by his opponent.

"Take it slow, I'm still young, and Inter Milan's overall strength is still stronger than us." Yang Yang still maintained his patience.

This is how the young team is polished step by step, just like he played from Almere to Ajax step by step.

...

After returning to the locker room, Yang Yang still focused on encouragement to the team. He affirmed the team's performance in the first half, and also hoped that the players could continue to work hard in the second half.
Chapter completed!
