1533 Yang Yang's trump card

On the evening of September 18, Allianz Stadium in Munich, Germany.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Ajax challenged Bayern Munich away.

Yang Yang stood in front of the visiting team's bench and was booed extremely violently from the stands.

Even though he has left Real Madrid, he is still the most unpopular player on this stadium.

Of course, Allianz Stadium will definitely not be the away game that she hates Yang Yang the most, because there are Camp Nou and Wanda Metropolitan Stadium ahead.

Sometimes, Yang Yang still enjoys this feeling quite a bit.

Although he booed Yang Yang, Bayern Munich fans gave Xavi Alonso warm applause, which made Yang Yang quite envious. After all, there are really not many players as likable as Xavi Alonso.

Both teams sent all their main players in this game.

Bayern Munich's starting goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Alaba, Hummels, Boateng and Kimmich, the double midfielder is Thiago and Gretzka, the front is Ribery, Thomas Muller and Robben, and the single forward is Lewandowski.

After Kovac took over Bayern Munich, he has been working hard to transform the team. At the same time, he is also increasing his efforts to support young players such as Jule, Gretzka and Gnabry. However, from the current perspective, Bayern Munich's core combat power is still several veterans, and even Thiago, who is the main player, is difficult to take the lead.

Ajax still faced the 433rd, but since the midfield position was a double midfielder, it looked a bit similar to Bayern Munich's 4231st, so the difference was probably the position on both sides.

Goalkeeper Onana, the defense is Taliafico, Militon, Dricht and Ashraf, the double midfielders are Frankie De Jong and Ndongbele, Van der Beck breaks out, and the tridents in the frontcourt are Neres, Jovic and Sancho.

Ajax's starting lineup is no different from the previous Champions League starter, but in fact, Yang Yang really can't line up better, because so far, this is the best starting lineup he has polished.

Unless there is an injury, Yang Yang will basically use this lineup in the Champions League.

...

Both teams won the league last weekend.

With the goals of Tolisso, Robben and Thiago, Bayern Munich reversed Leverkusen three-to-one with the goal of conceding one goal in five minutes at home, winning three consecutive wins in the Bundesliga.

It is not difficult to see from this game that Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga is really strong, and it can even be said to have little resistance. After all, even a strong Bundesliga team like Leverkusen has been beaten like this, let alone other teams.

Ajax is also not idle.

In the game against Groningen at home, Yang Yang once again arranged the midfield combination of Shene, Rosario and Odegao. This combination helped Ajax securely lock in the ball possession rate, got a possession of up to 73%, and created twenty-three shots. In the end, he defeated his opponent three-to-zero with Jovic's double-scoring and Mullen's goal.

However, although he defeated Groningen three-to-zero at home and won five consecutive wins in the Eredivisie, Ajax gave up the lead because Eindhoven beat Theater 7-0 away in this round.

In the last round, Eindhoven defeated William II 6-1 at home, and again won seven-0 in this round. The overall strength of this team is indeed fearful, and it is Ajax's number one rival in the Eredivisie this season.

What's even more terrible is that after playing Bayern Munich, Ajax will challenge Eindhoven away.

This battle will undoubtedly become a watershed in the Eredivisie.

But before that, Ajax still has to overcome Bayern Munich's level.

...

As soon as the game started, Bayern Munich took the lead in attacking.

Ajax just kicked the ball and kicked the ball to the back line. Lewandowski drove straight in and shot Militon when he made a long pass, blocking the Brazilian central defender's long pass back into the penalty area. Onana was so scared that he immediately attacked.

One minute later, Thomas Muller went to the right, responded to Kimmich's pass, and dribbled the ball along the right. As soon as he entered the 30-meter area of ​​Ajax, he passed the ball diagonally to the left back point to look for Ribery.

French Scarface quickly inserted, and after grabbing the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he directly shot at the small angle, but the shooting angle was too small, and this shot was directly drawn to the side net, which failed to pose a threat.

But soon, Bayern Munich made a comeback, and Thomas Muller passed the ball from the middle. After Robben got the ball from the right, he drifted past Taliafico, cut in horizontally into the penalty area, and scored a curve ball with his left foot.

But the shot was not fast, and Onana flew to hit the ball out of the bottom line.

After shooting two consecutive shots, the situation became increasingly dangerous.

Yang Yang also frequently signaled the team to stabilize the situation and not to follow Bayern's rhythm.

But in the end, the goal was lost.

Just four minutes into the opening game, Ribery won a free kick from the left, Bayern quickly sent a free kick and quickly moved to the right. Robben dribbled the ball and cut inward and passed it diagonally to the penalty area. Ajax made a mistake in the penalty area, and Militon missed Hummels, who quickly rushed to the goal and headed the ball from close range, piercing through Ajax's goal.

In an instant, the entire Allianz Stadium was completely boiling!

Countless Bayern Munich fans were cheering wildly, and all the passion was completely aroused in this moment.

This also made Ajax players feel depressed and even a little panicked.

He lost the ball in just four minutes of the game. How can he play such a game?

...

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Yang Yang applauded hard on the sidelines and shouted loudly at the players.

"Everyone is cheered up, don't forget what I said before the game, don't care about losing the ball, stay focused!"

Yang Yang's shouting on the sidelines made the players cheer up, and soon returned to the center line of the court and prepared to re-activate the ball, but the players still looked a little unhappy.

"Bayern Munich's three tricks to open are not easy," Xavi Alonso said with a wry smile.

Especially Robben, this Dutch fly is so weird that Taliafico can't stop him at all. He dribbled the ball into the right and cut in the ball twice. He shot the ball directly and made a cross.

Yang Yang nodded. Robben's move to cut inward on the right is his specialty. The difficulty lies in the fact that the defensive players clearly know that he wants to cut inward, but they just can't stop it. The key reason is still the rhythm.

Sometimes, the difference is very big.

"Nicholas." Yang Yang put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly.

At the reminder of his teammates, Taliafico looked at Yang Yang on the sidelines, raised his left hand high, and signaled that he was listening.

"Please pay attention to the position, don't eat his shaking, don't think about grabbing the ball, and more importantly, block him and remember the special training before the game!"

Yang Yang conveyed his meaning to the Argentine left-back through a combination of shouts and gestures.

The latter understood Yang Yang's meaning and compared the ok gesture, he obviously heard it.

Robben is not young. He no longer has the speed and explosive power of his peak period. Although he seemed to be indescribable in the right just now, it was actually all bluffing. As long as he didn't eat his shaking, it would not be easy for him to pass.

Yang Yang chose Taliafico, the most important thing is that the Argentines have richer experience.

If it is Ruore, Yang Yang will probably have a headache.

"Ashraf, you are responsible for following Ribery."

"Tanguy, you have to take care of Alaba who was inserted afterwards."

"Matthes, be careful to block Lewandowski's pulling and retracement."

"Frankie, follow Thomas Mueller."

Yang Yang made several instructions at one breath on the sidelines, all of which were adjusting the team's defense.

The most important thing about the goal conceding just now is that Ajax's defensive players are too concentrated on Ribery's side, which led to Robben creating an opportunity on the right. When the team's defensive focus was shifting to his left side, that is, Robben's side, passed to the left side of the goal, which caused the goal.

But Yang Yang does not want to make a second mistake like this.

Because he is very clear about the problem with Bayern Munich.

That is to rely too much on the wings of Ribery and Robben.

There is no doubt that Ribery and Robben were both top superstars when they were young, both of whom were able to carry a side road and a team to attack.

Robery's combination, Robben cuts in from the right, and Ribery's dribbles from the left. This is the most troublesome tactic for Bayern Munich in the past few years, because both of them have super personal abilities.

But now, they are all old.

Robben and Ribery can no longer rely on their personal abilities to open up the situation. They need cooperation and support from their teammates.

If it is one-on-one, as long as the defenders are not reckless, it will be difficult for them to find opportunities.

Technology has advantages, but without explosive power, they cannot pass.

This is what Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso discovered before the game.

Judging from the few games this season, Robben's offensive data have plummeted. In the first three league rounds, Robben only had one pass, while Ribery had three, but his ability to create opportunities has dropped sharply. He only had one key pass in three games and failed to form an assist.

There is another equally intuitive data, which is being violated.

It is very normal for offensive players, especially those who dribble the ball like Robben and Ribery to be violated, but so far this season, the two have played three games and have only had one experience of being violated by their opponents.

In other words, opponents rarely invade them.

There are only two possibilities: one is that they did not create a threat, and the other is that their opponents feel that there is no need to invade and can block their attack.

No matter which one it is, one thing can be proved, that is, the Robery group is no longer as brave as it was.

Currently, in Bayern Munich's front trident, only Lewandowski still maintains a high level.

But Yang Yang had a very strong feeling, that is, Ajax was not without a chance.

As long as the Robery combination can be frozen and as long as the Lewandowski can be divided, Ajax will definitely have a chance.

Especially Ajax's counterattack!
