207 Good Start [Breaking Liver 15,000 Words Monthly Pass]
Enschede, Netherlands, Twent home court Herroles Castle Stadium.
In the visiting team's locker room, Yang Yang sat in his seat and tied the shoelaces of the red ball boots on his feet tightly.
There is a black hook on the side of the boot, which anyone can recognize at a glance. This is Nike's logo.
The model that Yang Yang wore was precisely the second generation of Assassin tailor-made by Nike based on his size.
This was sent to Amsterdam in a hurry yesterday. In the next three years, Yang Yang will wear Nike boots to compete in the green field.
When it comes to the difference between Nike's Assassin series and Adidas' F50, Yang Yang really can't feel it. It's similar to the comfort and the flexibility, and there's really not much difference.
Of course, if you insist on it, it must be the psychological effect of how much money is brought about.
Yang Yang is not unfamiliar with Twente whom he will face tonight.
Last season, he scored his first professional league goal in his career against Twente.
That goal set the record for the youngest goal scorer in the Eredivisie and made Yang Yang famous.
After more than half a year, Yang Yang also felt a bit special when he returned to the Heroles Castle Stadium.
Time has changed, and Twente has changed coaches. Last season's assistant coach Rini Coren was promoted. At that time, the left back Herbeck faced by Yang Yang would not be on the go tonight. Instead, he was the younger 21-year-old player Ramon Zemo, who was Hulbeck's substitute last season.
After all, it is the first game of the new season, and everyone in Ajax attaches great importance to it.
Koeman also sent all the main players to play in this game. The goalkeeper was Sterkrenberg, the defense was Maxwell, Fermalen, Heatinga and Macon, and the midfield dragged by Garasek, Pinal and Sneider were in the center. The frontcourt trident was Wesley Songk, Charlesteas and Yang Yang.
It’s no wonder Koeman attaches so much importance to it, mainly because the team’s first official game in the new season. In the Dutch Super Cup, he lost to his opponent two to four. Although he was scored three goals in the last three minutes, it was indeed not good-looking.
Whether it is the pre-season warm-up match, the Amsterdam Invitational, or the Dutch Super Cup, it has exposed a series of problems in Ajax's new season. The offensive end is not sharp enough and the defensive end is not solid enough.
The departure of Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate still had a great impact on the team's offense. In addition, Yang Yang was participating in the Asian Cup at the time, and the team's offense was greatly affected.
The same is true for the defense. Robonte, Escud and Trabelsi's departure forced the team's defense line to be reorganized, and Macon's defensive ability is also a problem.
As for Fermulen, he performed well last season, but if he wants to stand alone this season, he still needs to perform better.
And Twente, who was difficult to fight away in the first game of the new season, is really hard to rest assured.
…………
…………
"The players of the two teams walked into the stadium one after another under the leadership of referee Luther Bosson."
"The home team fans immediately gave warm applause, and they obviously hoped that Twente would get a good start in the new season."
"And we saw that there were also many fans from Amsterdam at the scene, and they used the banner of Yang Yang."
"Tonight, Yang Yang, who just returned to the team, will appear for Ajax, which surprised many of us."
"In the last season, Yang Yang was more of a substitute for the team. Although he was also, he still made more efforts in the second half."
"Yang Yang has made great contributions to defeat Porto at the last moment. This year, Ronald Koeman obviously wants to straighten Yang Yang, after all, he will soon be eighteen."
"Yang Yang performed very well in the Toulon Cup and Asian Cup this summer, especially in the Asian Cup, when he was elected as the best player in the Asian Cup, which is indeed quite rare for Yang Yang, who is only seventeen years old."
"But there are also many people who are worried that Yang Yang's performance in the Asian Cup too early will affect his performance in the new season?"
"Let's wait and see this game tonight."
…………
…………
With the whistle of referee Luther Bosen, the game officially kicked off.
Charles Tias quickly kicked the ball to Wesley Songk, and the Belgian striker passed back to the midfield and then back to the defense line.
Ajax was not in a hurry to attack at the beginning, but patiently passed in the backcourt.
Twente planned to take advantage of the opening momentum to take the initiative to put pressure on Ajax.
After several passes, Maikon got the ball from the right, kicked forward with one kick, and sent it to Yang Yang on the right.
Yang Yang took the ball with his back, and behind him was the defensive player Ramon Zemo. He didn't dare to let the ball stay under his feet and quickly knocked back to Sneider, but he suddenly turned around and sprinted behind him.
Sneijder understood it and took a high and a half-high ball, crossed Twente's defense line and landed behind him.
“Ajax quickly created a threat after the opening.”
"Yang Yang caught up with the ball on the right, Twente's defensive player was chasing back, and Yang Yang passed to the back point."
"Wesley Songkle followed up and shot directly!"
After a scream, all Twente fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing Yang Yang's pass, Songke did not stop the ball, but hit it directly, which caused him to fail to suppress the ball and hit it higher.
After wasting a good opportunity, the Belgians themselves were a little depressed, but they still gave Yang Yang a thumbs up.
This ball is really not Yang Yang's responsibility, mainly because he did not handle it well.
…………
…………
After being brutally taken advantage of by Ajax, Twente did not dare to rob him blindly and began to consciously shrink his defense.
Whether it was from the information before the game or the competition in the super training ground last night, Yang Yang had figured out the characteristics of Ramon Zemo.
He has good defensive ability and has obvious advantages in defending high balls. This has something to do with his good at playing in the central defender, but his speed is slow and not flexible enough, which makes it easy for him to be thrown away the moment Yang Yang turns around.
The best example is the one that just now penetrated directly behind him.
But it's a pity that Songke failed to seize the opportunity, otherwise the game would be much easier.
Now, with Twente's attention, Ajax's offense is also in trouble.
Yang Yang also began to feel what Ronald Koeman said to him, and his opponent began to strengthen his defense against him and attached more importance to him.
He knew very well that this was a stage that he had to go through, and that he had to break through the opponent's attention and layers of defense and prove his strength before he could be qualified to get Ajax's and the No. 11 jersey on his body.
Under this situation, Yang Yang began to become more active.
Although he just played in the Asian Cup final a week ago, and although he traveled thousands of kilometers back to Amsterdam, he knew very well that even if he did not perform well, no one would blame him, but he still gave his all.
He never played football for others, he did it for himself.
Constantly surpassing yourself and breaking through yourself is what he wants most.
With a firm mind in his heart, Yang Yang was also very devoted on the court, actively interspersing and waiting patiently for the opportunity.
But Twente is not a good deal. This season, under the training of Colum, his defensive strength has improved greatly and has been well received in the preseason. This time, he struggled to hold on for half an hour against Ajax.
It was not until the 31st minute that Yang Yang found a gap in Twente's defense line.
With a pass from the backcourt, Charles Tias in the penalty area grabbed the first landing point and headed the ball to Yang Yang at the front of the penalty area.
Yang Yang faced the incoming ball, and with his left foot, he dunked with the situation. After dunking over to defend the position, he brought the ball into the penalty area and rushed to block it before Zemo came to block it. The ball shot hard with his right foot and flew straight away.
The goalkeeper flew to save the ball but still failed to stop the ball from entering the net.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"In the 31st minute of the first half, Ajax finally broke through Twente's goal!"
"The goal from the 17-year-old young player Yang Yang is 1-0!"
"This is also Ajax's first league goal in the new season, and it's a good start!"
After Yang Yang scored the goal, he quickly turned around and rushed out of the stadium, rushed all the way to the bottom of the stands where the Ajax fans were, and opened his arms high and asked all the Ajax fans for their applause and cheers.
In the stands, Ajax's fans were also not stingy, sending huge cheers and cheers, and even overshadowing home fans.
Behind Yang Yang, Ajax's players rushed forward and surrounded him.
"Now no one will doubt that Yang Yang is becoming an increasingly important key player for this Ajax team."
"Ajax had the advantage in the first thirty minutes, but he was unable to score a goal for a long time."
"The most threatening shot also came from Yang Yang's pass. Wesley Songk failed to suppress the ball, and then Yang Yang also tried hard to create opportunities, but he failed to break the deadlock."
"Maybe because he saw that his teammates were not very good, Yang Yang simply went up by himself and scored Ajax's first goal in the new season, and it was also Yang Yang's first league goal this season."
"I believe that the game has been played so far, my worries about Yang Yang can come to an end."
"We can tell you with certainty that from the first thirty minutes, Yang Yang basically continued his outstanding state in the Asian Cup, and his return will inevitably drive Ajax's attack."
…………
…………
After taking a goal, Yang Yang was obviously not satisfied.
He knew very well that one-to-zero was not a safe score, and Ajax had enough ability to continue scoring goals.
As it turns out, it is difficult for Twente to focus on defense after the goal breaks the deadlock.
Nine minutes later, Yang Yang got another chance on the right. After receiving Sneider's straight pass, he threw away Zemo, quickly dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and passed the ball to the back point.
This time, Wesley Songk finally did not miss the opportunity, pushed the ball into Twente's goal.
Two to zero!
After that, Ajax continued to work hard, and the attack became smoother and smoother.
In one minute of stoppage time, Yang Yang dribbled the ball from the right and forced a breakthrough, attracting Zemo's attention, and suddenly passed it back to Maicon who was inserted in the back row. The Brazilian right defender passed the penalty area forty-five degrees, and Charles Tias headed the ball from close range.
Chapter completed!
