125 Wenger has a crush on this kid!
"You acted so well!"
While hugging Yang Yang on the sidelines and preparing to enter the field, Fermall laughed and patted Yang Yang's back and praised.
The Belgian central defender is really impressed by his teammate.
Whether it was his efforts or his progress, Fermuren was impressed.
Sometimes he even wonders whether Yang Yang is a genius?
If that doesn't count, then he worked so hard, trained all the time every day, and even went too far to practice ball under the table while teaching in school. Isn't this a talent?
But if we say that, anyone can pick out a lot of problems and shortcomings from Yang Yang. For example, his stoppage is really bad. Not to mention others, Fermall thinks that his stoppage is better than him. Isn’t this the basic skill of a genius?
More importantly, Yang Yang is completely different from the genius in everyone's impression. He rarely has the kind of improvisational improvisation. The moment he hit the ball on his heel just now was a big surprise, which made him look like a genius no matter how he looked, especially the kind of genius with super talent.
But no matter what, Yang Yang has been making progress, and at an extremely fast speed.
Fermall was very clear that his roommate was constantly improving his advantageous projects, such as one-on-one breakthroughs and outs on the wing, but on the other hand, he was constantly making up for his shortcomings, such as stopping and passing.
And his way of improving is to train constantly, day after day, never slacking off.
Yang Yang had no idea how many thoughts had flashed through Fermall's mind. He just knew that he was exhausted now.
"I'm exhausted, I'll leave the rest to you. If we keep this score, we still have hope." Yang Yang encouraged.
Fermall focused on the key points, which was a promise he had given Yang Yang.
After sending the Belgian central defender to the stadium, Yang Yang gasped and walked towards the home team coach's seat. Head coach Ronald Koeman came over and hugged Yang Yang with a strong sweat.
"Tonight, I and all Ajax fans are proud of you." Ronald Koeman said in Yang Yang's ear.
"Thank you, boss." Yang Yang smiled contentedly.
Luther Carroll also looked unbelievable, because he still clearly remembered that more than half a year ago, when he saw Yang Yang, he was still a fledgling boy. At that time, he was already very sharp on the right, but no one could believe that he could become Ajax's sharp knife on the right so quickly.
Yang Yang made great contributions to eliminating Bruges. Tonight's game against Arsenal, regardless of whether the team can win in the end, Yang Yang is the team's number one hero, even surpassing Ibrahimovic who scored twice.
The fans at the scene also knew this very well, so when Yang Yang hugged Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll and was about to walk back to the bench, they burst into thunderous applause again.
Yang Yang also raised his hands and applauded on his head, and bowed to the fans around him, thanking them for their love for him.
The teammates on the bench also stood up and shook hands with Yang Yang. Victor Scola's reaction was the most embarrassing because he was the team's main right winger, but in the past few games, Ronald Koeman arranged him, and then arranged for Yang Yang to take the bench to play, and Yang Yang played better.
Tonight, Yang Yang even took his place directly and gave him a goal that broke the Champions League record, an exciting assist, and an indirect assist. He was definitely the best player in Ajax in this game.
What is even more unbelievable is that he is only seventeen years old.
Victor Scola suddenly felt that perhaps everyone in the team, from the head coach to the fans in the stands, and even to the management, was waiting for Yang Yang's growth and maturity, and he was just a transition before Yang Yang matured.
Realizing this, Scola was embarrassed, but still sincerely praised Yang Yang's outstanding performance.

In front of the visiting coach's seat, Wenger watched Ibrahimovic's departure coldly.
He remembered the Swedish center because he had always been so rebellious and so unscrupulous.
He was still young back then, but he dared to refuse Wenger's invitation to try out in person at the Highbury Stadium. Wenger could not forget such a young man, but at that time he felt more that this young man would be buried by his own conceit, but he did not expect that today the Swedish center proved his strength and value with two goals.
But what Wenger valued was the young man wearing the No. 99 jersey.
Yang Yang, seventeen years old, debuted at the Almere Youth Training Camp in the summer of 2003. He entered the Ajax Youth Training Camp through the Genius Day selection. He played under Van Basten for four months. He joined the first team in December. He participated in Ajax's last group match in the first game and played away against Bruges, Belgium.
Afterwards, many people recalled this game and felt that the Ajax coaching staff was full of confidence in Yang Yang at that time, especially technical director Van Gaal. According to rumors from outside, it was said that he was stubborn and allowed the coaching staff to rank in Yang Yang. As a result, Yang Yang completely reversed the game after he came on as a substitute.
After this battle, Yang Yang became famous in one fell swoop.
He then came on as a substitute in the Eredivisie, scoring his first goal in Eredivisie, setting a record of the youngest goal in Eredivisie history. Tonight he was the first in the Champions League, and he scored his first goal in his career and set a record of the youngest goal in Champions League history.
There is no doubt that after tonight, Yang Yang will become a rookie popular among media throughout Europe and even the world.
But what Wenger values most is Yang Yang's performance on the court.
According to statistics from the Arsenal technical team, Yang Yang's running distance on the right side was second only to midfielder De Jong and left-back Maxwell. He even ran more than Sneider and Van der Fate. The time he faced Krish and Pire just now, he even had a very fast breakthrough and sprint, which shows that his physical fitness is quite good.
But what made Wenger's eyes even more lit was his ability to run without the ball. He could run to the space of Arsenal's defense almost every time he moved, which required extremely excellent reading and analysis of the game.
According to Wenger's pre-match arrangement, Krish should be more active in this game and needs more support for Henry and Pire on the offensive end. This is what Ashley Cole often does, but it is obvious that in order to defend Yang Yang, he had to give up on the offense.
But even so, Yang Yang still caught a chance in the second half and assisted with a goal.
Wenger has always been a very rational and calm person. He never believed in so-called luck. He believed that there were only two reasons for conceding goals, either that one would make a mistake on his own initiative or that the opponent would force one to make a mistake.
It is obvious that the time when Yang Yang assisted Ibrahimovic to score a goal belonged to the latter.
"Part, turn around and let our scouts pay close attention to this person." Wenger ordered with a frown.
Assistant coach Pat Rice is an old partner and knows who Wenger is referring to.
"That old guy Ferguson dug a Ronaldo from the Portuguese Super League, but I think this one in the Eredivisie is more like Ronaldo."
Wenger recalled the whole process of Yang Yang breaking through the sideline and swaying Vieira from the penalty area, and couldn't help but smile, "Whether it was the heel of the sideline and the sudden pendulum in the penalty area, it was very similar. What was even more surprising is that his left foot ability was actually pretty good, and the quality of that cross was quite high."
Pat Rice knew that Wenger really fell in love with this kid.

After Ajax substitution, he adopted the defensive counterattack style of five defenders.
Wenger did not make substitution adjustments, and the Gunners still attacked Ajax's defense with a 442 formation.
Yang Yang sat on the bench and was frightened to watch the Gunners attacking one after another, attacking Ajax's penalty area again and again, and even creating attack opportunities.
I didn't have any obvious feeling on the court just now, but now sitting on the sidelines, he can clearly feel the strength gap between the two teams, especially when Arsenal began to lose his life.
Ronald Koeman quickly made his last substitution adjustment.
In the 78th minute, he used a midfielder with better defensive ability to replace Swedish center Ibrahimovic who scored twice. The latter had obviously exhausted his physical strength and could not run on the court.
Fans at the Athletic Amsterdam once again gave warm applause to the players who replaced the field. The Swedish center scored twice to help the team lead Arsenal for the third time after being tied twice.
After the incident, Ibrahimovic sat directly beside Yang Yang, laughing non-stop, with a sensual look on his face. How could he feel as depressed as he had been from the previous few days?
He is such a true guy!
On the court, Ajax retreated completely, leaving no room for Arsenal.
Fermulen was very active after coming on the court, especially on defensive Canu.
The Belgian central defender is not tall, but because he is often ravaged by Ibrahimovic in daily training, he has a lot of experience in dealing with the high center forward. When he came on the bench tonight, he performed well in defense and clearance several times.
After retreating across the board, Wesley Songkle fought back alone at the front, and Arsenal had no way to deal with Ajax's defensive formation for the moment.
Wenger did not make substitutions until the 87th minute, and replaced two in one breath, using up the last substitutions, but the situation on the court was still Ajax held in front of the goal.
In the end, Ajax narrowly defeated Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match with Ajax three-to-two.
But this is not the first unpopularity in the Champions League knockout match this season, because just before Ajax, Porto reversed Ferguson's Manchester United 2-1 at home, La Coruña also defeated Juventus 1-0 at home, and Locomotive Moscow also defeated Monaco 2-1 at home.
