"We saw Ajax fans welcome Yang Yang with the warmest applause."

"This young player, who is only seventeen years old, performed very well in this game. Not to mention the team's first goal, Ibrahimovic's goal just now also came from his planning. He used an imaginative back dial to transfer the ball to Trabelsi from the double-team of Krish and Vieira."

"He is definitely the best player Ajax has performed so far in this game."

"Okay, a chance to die, the referee signaled that Yang Yang could return to the stadium."

"Thunderous applause broke out again at the scene, and Ajax's fans were obviously very clear about Yang Yang's contribution."

...

When she saw her son Yang Yang rushing into the court again, Yang Yongqiang and Shen Lifang breathed a sigh of relief, especially her mother Chen Lifang. It was at this moment that she suddenly remembered to reach out to wipe off the tears from her cheeks.

The commentator just now said that he might have broken his legs, which really scared her.

She never knew that playing football would be so dangerous. If someone really kicked his leg, what should I do in the future?

"Don't worry, auntie, he has a leg guard plate on his legs, which plays a certain protective role. And mainly because the opponent is too dirty and ruthless, the referee did not give the cards. This is really unbelievable." A reporter from a local newspaper next to him comforted.

After the national TV station broadcast the top Eredivisie battle between Ajax and Eindhoven, it caused a huge response in China, especially Yang Yang's outstanding performance, which made domestic fans very excited.

After so many years, when did such a genius appear in China?

In the first leg of this Champions League quarterfinals knockout match, the national TV station still broadcast live. Although the national media did not arrange anyone to report to Yang Yang's family, local newspapers arranged it.

"In the Premier League, the pace is very fast, but the movements are relatively rough. Arsenal is a famous barbaric team in the Premier League. They have many fouls and are very serious in card use. They are often kicked in a hurry, but they are just a 17-year-old player. Vieira is too dirty."

"Who said no?"

After hearing this, Yang Yongqiang and his wife were still worried. The game was not over yet. What if they were injured?

"The revenge is revenge on the football field. Now Arsenal is fierce and playing so dirty. Sooner or later, he will suffer a loss."

In the Chinese Restaurant in Almere, John Rep, who had experienced countless large and small events in his career, shook his head and said.

It is hard to say whether a team like Arsenal is to adapt to the competitive environment of the Premier League or its own style, but one thing is certain: this team has a deep grudge in the Premier League, and many teams are dissatisfied with them.

"Not to mention anything else, just talk about the away game when Arsenal drew 1-1 with Leicester City not long ago. When Ashley Cole was fighting with his opponent, he directly chopped Sacher's calf from the front. This time, the foul was too bad. The red card could not calm everyone's anger, which caused an uproar and unanimous criticism from the British media after the game."

Dick Vanpur was also very annoyed by Arsenal's barbarity, after all, they all supported Ajax in this game.

"But what did Wenger say after the game? He ignored the facts and defended Ashley Cole, and Leicester City head coach Adams accused Wenger of his position and attitude. At the same time, he also said that this brutal foul made everyone very angry. God knows when Arsenal will encounter this group of players again in the future and will they be retaliated?"

John Rep sighed and nodded, "Yes, with a fierce man like Vieira now, the situation should be better, but sooner or later, someone will be caught. I just don't know who will be unlucky at that time."

Both of them are professional players and are now retired. Watching the game as an onlooker, their mood is completely different from that of the past.

The others in the Chinese restaurant did not have this kind of feeling, and they were more concerned about Yang Yang's injuries.

When he saw Yang Yang returning to the sidelines and walking into the stadium amid the cheers of Ajax fans, there was also a burst of warm cheers in the Chinese restaurant, obviously they were all happy for Yang Yang.

As long as you are not hurt, that is a good thing.

"He is still too young now and still doesn't know how to protect himself. He should learn hard next time." Dick Vanpur said. He was also frightened when he saw Vieira's foul just now.

"Ajax will have a special coach to train him, don't worry." John Rep laughed.

After the game started again, Ajax seemed more determined, and after retreating across the board, the defensive formation became more tight.

Arsenal lost the ball again after equalizing the score. The morale hit a lot and the attack looked fierce, but the thunder sounded loud and the rain was small, so he could not score points after getting the ball, and he was unable to continue scoring the goal in the end.

The first half ended with a 2-1 win, with Ajax's temporary lead.

When Yang Yang returned to the locker room, pulled down the socks and took off the leg guard plate, he saw the kick on his right calf still clearly.

Yang Yang sat in his seat and let the team doctor take care of his right leg. Although it was not a serious problem, he still needed to deal with it.

Faced with an opponent like Arsenal, everyone above and below Ajax was under heavy pressure and their physical energy was consumed very much. Everyone was panting and slumping in their seats, breathing the air greedily.

When Yang Yang looked at Ibrahimovic beside him, the Swedish center also looked at him, winked and smiled, "If I hadn't seen you get injured just now, I would have passed by the visiting coach's seat and let Wenger take a good look at me."

After scoring a goal from Arsenal, the Swedish center was in a very comfortable mood.

He also worked very hard in this game. He was tall and moved constantly in the frontcourt, and the consumption was indeed greater than that of others, which made him look very tired. Yang Yang was a little worried whether he could hold on to the whole game.

"Luckily you didn't do that, otherwise, what if you scored another goal in the second half?" Yang Yang grinned.

Ibrahimovic laughed loudly when he heard this, "Yes, yes, you're right."

The team doctor squatting in front of Yang Yang also laughed. He found that the two of them were really in tune with each other. They regarded the powerful Arsenal as nothing, and wanted to score another goal in the second half. What is his mentality?

"But you have to remember, don't take risks. You are the one who suffers from a tough fight with Vieira," Ibrahimovic advised with concern after laughing.

"I have my advantage. I made the worst plan just now, so I hid in advance." Yang Yang said.

After hearing this, the team doctor couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Fortunately you hid for a while, otherwise you probably won't be able to kick it."

My legs shouldn't be broken, but I'm afraid I'll end up getting hurt.

"Those bastards are really dirty." Ibrahimovic said gritting his teeth.

He and Yang Yang are good friends. Vieira plays Yang Yang, so it is no different from kicking him. How can you not hate him?

"Don't care, there are people who kick even dirtier. We can't change others, we can only ask ourselves, so the best way to retaliate against them is..."

"Kill them!" Ibrahimovic took the conversation without waiting for Yang Yang to finish speaking.

The two looked at each other again and couldn't help but feel excited about fighting spirit.

This game is facing Arsenal. Regardless of whether the opponent plays dirty or not, the Gunners are the top team in Europe.

If Ajax can beat the Gunners at home, they will become famous no matter the second leg.

Just after the team doctor handled Yang Yang's right leg, head coach Ronald Koeman also pushed the door and walked into the locker room.

As soon as he entered the door, the locker room immediately became silent, and everyone turned to look at him.

"We performed very well in the first half, and it is difficult for us to make more demands for you. I know that everyone is very difficult now, but I still hope that everyone can grit their teeth and hold on."

Ronald Koeman's affirmation made all the players in the locker room feel excited, but as soon as they think about continuing to face the powerful Arsenal in the second half, everyone frowned again.

The head coach naturally saw the players' reactions.

Koeman is a very successful professional player, and he certainly understands the players' mentality at this moment.

"Everyone, what I want to tell you is that after we took the lead 2-1, Arsenal's advantage is not as big as we see on the surface." As he said, Ronald Koeman walked into the middle of all the players.

"I don't know if you have noticed the news. Although Arsenal is unbeaten, they have too many draws. They have had sharp attacks before, especially fast attacks. However, this season, they mainly focus on defense. The defense has stabilized, but the offense has been discounted. Their advantage in controlling the scene is based on their excellent running ability."

"Why did Arsenal often collapse in the second half in the past few years? It was often equalized or even reversed by opponents in the second half of the game? The reason is very simple. Their style of play requires a lot of running, which will be a great challenge for their physical fitness, and there is no winter break in the Premier League."

Everyone listened to the analysis of head coach Ronald Koeman silently and thought it made sense.

"Before playing against us, Arsenal players were transferred to play national team games in mid-February. Many people played two games. After returning, they played Chelsea away. That was also a hard battle. After playing against us, they had to return to the Premier League to fight their opponents with all their might. Their games are more intensive than us, the game pressure is greater, and the physical consumption is more amazing."

The implication of the head coach's analysis is nothing more than to tell the players that Arsenal seems strong, but in fact it may not be, especially when entering the second half, when each other's physical energy is consumed greatly, the Gunners are likely to fall first.

"Of course, we know the situation of Arsenal, and Wenger himself must be very clear. So, I can guarantee that they will start with us in the second half. They at least want to take a draw away from the away game. What I want you to do is to keep the score of 2-1 and wait for the opportunity to play against the opponent and fight back."

Ronald Koeman shouted loudly with his eyes shining.

This result in the first half is really beneficial to Ajax. If he can hold on in the second half and wait until Arsenal's physical energy is almost exhausted, and then he will try to expand the score, the second leg will be easier to play.
