On the evening of March 10, Highbury Stadium, London.

When the game reached the 34th minute, Arsenal launched another wave of offensive.

After Pirelli pulled to the left side of the center line to receive the ball, he suddenly passed it with a long pass and sent the ball to the left.

Borgkamp, ​​who replaced Reyes, was always active on the right after the opening, but this time he suddenly changed his position to the left. After receiving Pire's pass, he did not choose to do it alone. Instead, he waited for Ashley Cole to step forward and behind, and then passed the ball behind the defense line, allowing Arsenal's left back to quickly insert, and then Ashley Cole passed it across the penalty area to find Henry.

Henry, who ran out of the free time, would not miss such a godsend opportunity. He directly pushed the ball into the goal guarded by Robbonte, scoring the first goal of the game for Arsenal.

One to zero!

Arsenal, who played at home, took the lead.

Ajax also had a mature plan for losing goals away from home. Although the players were a little anxious, they did not collapse. They still organized the defense in an orderly manner according to their own pace. They should put pressure on them and grab them.

This allowed Arsenal's second wave of offensive four minutes later to create another threat, but failed to score.

Arsenal's overall strength is far above Ajax, and soon created another opportunity. Lyonberg and Borgkamp on the right performed very actively, creating threats to break into the penalty area twice in a row, but Ajax both stubbornly defended the score.

Especially in stoppage time, Lyonberg made a very deadly pass, and Pire successfully broke into the goal offside, but the first ball was not stopped well, which resulted in being disturbed by Escud, unable to take a shot calmly, and was forced to pass it to Henry.

But at this time, goalkeeper Robant made a decisive attack, leaving Henry's shot dead.

The continuous fierce offensive caused panic in front of Ajax's goal, and the defense line was shaking. It also made Yang Yang, Van der Fate and others sitting on the bench on the sidelines make their hearts beat faster and they are extremely nervous.

It's not pleasant to sit on the sidelines and watch your teammates fight desperately on the court.

During the halftime break, head coach Ronald Koeman did not accuse the players of their mistakes. Instead, he praised the team's bloodiness and tenacious defense in the first half. He hoped that the players could continue to work hard.

"If we keep this score, we still have hope." Ronald Coman said loudly.

Everyone in the team knew that he was putting treasure on Yang Yang and Van der Fate on the bench.

After the second half of the game, Arsenal consciously slowed down, and only scored one shot in the first ten minutes, and it was a non-threatening shot, which was completely different from the stormy offensive in the first half.

It was not until the 64th minute that Borgkamp received a pass from Vieira and shot in the penalty area, but it was too high.

The game began to slow down, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

…………

…………

Yang Yang sat on the bench of the visiting team at the Highbury Stadium. Except for running out to warm up from time to time, he was observing the game the rest of the time. The more he observed, the more he could experience the benefits of meticulous preparations.

Ajax's research on Arsenal is undoubtedly quite in-depth, and the coaching staff's deduction of the game is also quite successful. Not only does it have a basic judgment on Arsenal's lineup, but also on the Gunners' arrangement and game strategy.

Of course, accurate intelligence and deduction does not mean that you will not lose.

It was like that time in the first half, Borgkamp suddenly pulled from the right to the left, which surprised Ajax and caught him off guard, causing him to concede the goal.

The second goal in the first round of the two sides, Henry and Piret's consecutive two-way match, was unpredictable before the game.

But until now, Ajax fell behind zero, but the situation has not yet been out of control.

In the deduction of the Ajax coaching staff, Arsenal's game is like a life of a person. The game starts very stunning, full of creativity and imagination, full of sharpness, and then the maturity period is very stable, and the overall strength is basically exerted, but then they will usher in the aging period.

This is the last twenty minutes of the game.

According to the deduction of Ajax's coaching staff, as long as you can hold for 70 minutes, Ajax is likely to be upset away, because during this period, Arsenal will expose many weaknesses that were covered up in the previous 70 minutes.

For example, their physical fitness and Wenger's frequent and slightly conservative substitutions.

As it turned out, Arsenal did slow down its offensive after entering the second half.

"When will Wenger go to Gilberto Silva?" Yang Yang murmured to himself.

"Who knows?" Van der Fatt next to him shook his head.

Both Arsenal's midfielders, Vieira and Edu, are used to pushing up, which makes Arsenal's defense line protection very weak when they are counterattacked. If Ajax can quickly advance to the penalty area, the Arsenal's penalty area will be very dangerous.

But if Gilberto Silva comes on, this problem will not exist.

"Our right still gives the opponent too much space, and Scola still can't suppress Ashley Cole, which makes Arsenal's entire left side too active. Coupled with the combination of Lungberg and Borgkamp on the right, Arsenal's wings were knocked away in the first half."

When he said this, Van der Fate turned his head and looked at the young teammate beside him, and asked with a smile: "Have you figured out how to play after you come on the court?"

Yang Yang shook his head, "Do you still have to think about this?"

So far, Yang Yang has only one role in the team, that is, to open the right channel.

It should be said that since he entered the first team, he has been doing very well at this point, and it can even be said to be getting better and better.

But this time he faced Ashley Cole, the world's top left-back.

…………

…………

After seventy minutes of time, Ajax head coach Ronald Koeman finally called Yang Yang and Van der Fate who were warming up, and they stood next to the head coach, one left and one right.

"It's yours on the right!" Ronald Koeman pointed at Yang Yang and said vigorously, "No matter what method you use, I will open the right for me. Ashley Cole's physical energy is consumed a lot. I believe you can still create a threat when you go up."

Yang Yang nodded vigorously and looked at the left back on the court who was slightly shorter than him with a serious look.

"The front of the penalty area is yours, Raphael." Ronald Koeman pointed at Van der Fate and said, "You go and replace De Jong, I need you to assist Sneider in the midfield while playing the threat of you scoring at the front of the penalty area and behind."

Van der Fate also nodded with a solemn face.

The main midfielder De Jong already has a yellow card on his body, and it is normal to replace him on the court.

"You two are my last bargaining chips and the team's last hope. If we can't equalize the score, our Champions League this season will end. Do you understand?"

According to the rules of the Champions League knockout stage, the total score of the two rounds is currently three to three, but Arsenal has two away goals. If the total scores of both sides are the same, the side with more away goals will win, and Ajax will already lose.

So, if you want to qualify, you have to score a goal.

The two took the head coach's latest adjustment instructions and took the sidelines, waiting for the chance to die for the substitute to come on the bench.

Everyone in the entire Highbury Stadium also noticed the movement in front of the visiting team coach's seat. Wenger naturally saw that Yang Yang and Van der Fate were about to appear, but this should be within the scope of his plan.

So soon, Arsenal also launched a substitution, and Brazilian midfielder Gilberto Silva was also ready to play.

"The two teams made adjustments almost at the same time. Ajax replaced two players in one breath, and captain Van der Fate replaced the midfielder De Jong who performed well in this game. This is a substitution to strengthen the offense."

"There is another substitution when Yang Yang replaced Victor Scola, No. 99 on the right road. This is a counter-substitution."

"I believe that if any fans who have watched the first leg game will never forget this No. 99 player. In that game, he scored a first-time goal for Ajax, setting the record for the youngest goal scorer in the Champions League. Then he planned Ajax's goals twice, and was the most eye-catching player in the first leg game."

"More importantly, he is only seventeen."

"Arsenal's substitution is also a matchup. Gilberto Silva replaced Brazilian compatriot Edu, which is also a substitution to strengthen defense. Wenger finally wants to make up for this defensive hidden danger at the front of his team's penalty area."

"The two head coaches are both tit-for-tat and are very familiar with each other. When they counterattack, Ronald Koeman wants to make a fuss about Arsenal's weaknesses, but Arsenal immediately substitutes to fill the team's loopholes."

"After replacing two players, Ajax's offense began to tend toward the right side and still wanted to play on Yang Yang's side, but Arsenal was prepared for this, and Ashley Cole was more focused on the defense."

"After playing, Yang Yang looked quite reserved, a little unrestrained, and there was no one-on-one chance."

"We saw Arsenal on the sidelines make the second substitution."

"Wenger made continuous substitutions in just three minutes, and this time he replaced Pire with Spanish young player Reyes."

"It seems that Wenger wants to use Reyes' speed and impact to shock Ajax on the right. After all, the score is only 1-0 now, which is not safe for Arsenal."

"So far, both sides have made two substitutions, but the results have not been seen yet."

...

After the substitute came on the bench, Yang Yang was indeed a little reserved.

This time he faced the world's top left-back. Although Ashley Cole had played for more than 70 minutes, the power of the tiger was still there, which made Yang Yang dare not be careless about him.

When facing Krish before, Yang Yang did not take much advantage. In the super training ground last night, he simulated Ashley Cole, but still failed to gain a little advantage from Arsenal's left back.

This made him very clear that it was difficult to be sure of relying on fighting alone.

He needs help, but Ibrahimovic cannot do it because he has to be in the front.

Trabelsey is not good either. He needs to defend well. Ajax can't concede the ball anyway.
