1525 He won!
When the referee Ivan Cruzliak from Slovak blew the end of the game, Yang Yang laughed and turned around, stretched out his right hand hard, and after high-fives with Xavi Alonso, he hugged his best friend.
Four to zero!
Even in the final stage of the game, Standard Liege failed to gain advantage from Ajax.
This is a complete victory, a complete victory!
The Ajax players on the court were also very excited. After the whistle sounded, they all cheered on the court.
Four to zero, with a total score of six to two, they advanced to the Champions League play-offs with a big score.
It's only one step away from the Champions League group stage!
You know, this is Ajax's tireless pursuit in the past few years.
In the current Ajax team, except Ashraf, no one has even played in the Champions League group stage. Their experience in the Champions League is poor.
But as professional players, each of them has a desire for the Champions League flows in their blood.
...
After Yang Yang let go of Harvey Alonso, he smiled so hard that he couldn't stop smiling.
But soon, he lowered his smile and tsk twice, "It's still a bit not good enough, I missed too many opportunities."
Seeing his arrogant look, Harvey Alonso was so angry that he punched him directly, and then he started to laugh again.
It's really not easy!
Especially for such a young team, it is really not easy to get a total score of 6-2 from Standard Liege.
"What we have gained tonight is not just a victory, not just the right to advance, but also confidence, the confidence of the players themselves, and the confidence of our coaching staff in the team's skills and tactics, which is more valuable than a victory."
Yang Yang's words made the coaching team around him deeply agree.
Who said no?
What is the hardest thing for a head coach?
In addition to instilling the players' own tactical ideas, the most important thing is to make the players believe in their tactics and be willing to implement them unconditionally, which not only requires the head coach's prestige, but also requires achievements.
If you don’t have enough excellent results, what can you use to convince the player?
Professional football is very realistic, and professional players are also very realistic!

In the stands of the Cruyff Stadium, Van Gaal, Van der Sar, Orvemas, Borgkamp and others were filled with huge waves in their hearts after watching the game, and everyone's faces were filled with admiration.
The reason is very simple. The changes brought about by Yang Yang are so big that they can't believe them.
When Yang Yang said that he did not plan to play in the next round, many people doubted whether he was taking the risk.
But now, Yang Yang is really confident in this team, and the team has not disappointed his trust.
"I'm starting to believe now that he is a genius." Borgkamp exclaimed.
He was previously the assistant coach of Pete Boss, Keisel and Reziger. This season, Reziger returned to the second team. Borgkamp accepted Yang Yang's invitation and continued to stay in the technical team, but no longer served as the first-team assistant coach.
Seeing the young players on the stadium, Borgkamp was really mixed.
Compared with last season, the players have basically not changed much, but have lost a lot.
Ziyech went to Chelsea, Cruyff went to Rome, Wabel went to Sevilla, Ajax lost two generals and an important rotation player in one summer, and Militon was brought in to replace Wabel, and Odgao was just a substitute tonight, and Ashraf was considered a relatively powerful supplement.
But even such a team, Ajax, who is basically the same as before, is even weaker in overall strength than during Pete Boss's coaching period, can play such football, and can even play a four-to-zero victory against a team like Standard Liege at his home court.
More importantly, in the ninety minutes of the entire game, Ajax completely controlled the situation and gained an advantage.
Pete Boss didn't do it, Kesel couldn't do it, and Rayziger wanted to do it but didn't know how to do it. All these things came to Yang Yang's hands, and they did it in a very short time.
It was not until this moment that Borgkamp understood why everyone, including Ferguson, thought that Yang Yang would be a genius head coach because he was really a genius.
Today's Ajax team still has many problems, such as not seizing opportunities and not being efficient enough, such as not having enough overall stability, and players are still prone to being frigid and anxious...
But these can be changed slowly, but the most fundamental temperament and philosophy of a team have undergone earth-shaking changes in Yang Yang's hands.
He allowed Ajax to complete his transformation!
More importantly, after the transformation, he has accurately positioned every player, allowing them to see their development direction clearly, and at the same time recognizes their tactical positioning and value in the team.
It can be foreseen that the team will develop rapidly in the future and the players will make rapid progress.
...
"He said he would lead the team into the group stage." Van Gaal laughed.
He has always believed in Yang Yang very much, before, now, and in the future.
"I was a little worried before, but now, I believe it." Van der Sa laughed.
This is the closest time he has seen Ajax in recent years to the Champions League group stage.
Entering the group stage, Ajax's performance will usher in a breakthrough, and the team's financial pressure will be greatly reduced. More importantly, the team will win an opportunity next to lay a good foundation for the future.
"I began to believe what Yang Yang said before. As long as the team performs with its current performance and in the Champions League group stage, as long as the draw is not too bad, it is possible to grab the second place in the group stage and qualify from the group stage." Ovemas has greater ambitions.
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
A big victory makes people happy, but more importantly, the transformation Yang Yang brought to this Ajax brought to this young team is full of expectations for this young team.
Where can he go?
…………
…………
Yang Yang finally walked to the visiting team coach's seat.
He won!
And it was a straightforward four to zero!
He may not come, just like he did not come to the visiting team's coaching seat before the game. Because his head coaching status was suspended, he participated as a substitute, and the reason was very good.
But he came eventually.
Prudholm stood up awkwardly and shook hands with Yang Yang, his expression seemed very unnatural.
If both sides can save face in the first round of the game, then he will lose completely in this battle tonight.
It is not only the team's skills and tactics, but also the players' strength.
Ajax is a team with an average age of less than 20 years old, but in the end, he played so well under Yang Yang's tactical framework, which is really impressive.
The two of them were speechless, after all, they were not friends, and they even felt a little confused.
But when he saw Yang Yang turn and leave, Prudholm finally couldn't help but explain, "Believe it or not, that's not my idea. I lost in two rounds of games."
After hearing this, Yang Yang turned his head, nodded at Prudholm and said, "I believe it!"
The Belgian seemed to remove a big stone on his chest, and he felt relieved and laughed.

In the first leg, the second leg, the second leg was 4-0, and Ajax defeated Standard Liege six-two in the total score, and successfully advanced to the playoffs.
This result made many media reporters who were pessimistic about Yang Yang and Ajax before the game, because they did not expect that Ajax not only won, but also won so much.
Four to zero, it really doesn't even give standard Liege any chance.
When did Ajax become so strong?
In addition, he defeated Hercules three-to-zero in the first round of the Eredivisie, scoring seven goals in two games without losing a single goal. This performance is excellent.
What magic did Yang Yang exert on this team?
The domestic media in the Netherlands were excited because they saw Ajax, who was completely different from the past few years. They were not only younger, but also had higher and more advanced technical and tactical skills. Especially in the field, the offense and defense system was obviously more stringent, and they did not look like a Dutch Eredivisie team no matter how they looked.
You know, Eredivisie is famous for its water.
Authoritative media from all over the world, including the Times, The Sun, The Sun, The Sports, Team News, etc., have reported on the results of Ajax's game. They are obviously surprised that Yang Yang led the team to defeat Liege. At the same time, many professionals are very curious about what they reflected during the game.
Alfredo, editor-in-chief of the Ass newspaper, analyzed in the column, "You can clearly see Yang Yang instilling his understanding and thinking about football tactics into this Ajax in the first half of the first leg and the entire game of the second leg."
"He is practicing his ideas and trying some ideas that he hasn't had the chance to try in the past, which makes us all very curious about what kind of team he will bring?"
But Alfredo also expressed disappointment because Yang Yang's attempt was valuable, but unfortunately, Ajax's overall strength was too weak and too young. "Maybe, this team can enter the Champions League group stage, but from the current point of view, they do not have the strength to knockout rounds."
"Maybe, after Yang Yang's training with Ajax, he should try to go to a higher platform to continue to improve his ideas and ideas, which will be very helpful to his future coaching career."
Alfredo's judgment is also in line with the speculation of the outside world. Basically everyone believes that Ajax is likely to enter the group stage, but if you want to stand out in the group stage, you will not be able to draw one.
But how is this possible?
With the current arrangement of UEFA's Champions League group stages, there is basically no situation where many weak teams gather in the same group, because the defending champions and national league champions are automatically listed as seed teams, plus teams with high points in the European Games.
Therefore, in the current European football world, not to mention the declining Eredivisie teams, even the Portuguese Super League, even the mid-to-upstream teams in the Ligue 1 and the four major leagues, it is very difficult to stand out from the group stage.
