Facing Bayern Munich, Ajax was not timid, but bravely insisted on his high-level press.

This tactical style of play still has obvious restrictions on Bayern Munich, especially young players are physically energetic, energetic, dare to fight, and often compete with Bayern Munich players on the court to get overwhelming.

Jovic and Boateng, van der Beck and Thiago, and Bayern Munich's overturned accidents frequently occurred in the penalty area, but Ajax players all rushed to grab the ball and did not have any other unnecessary moves, so they did not win cards.

Faced with Ajax's organized and purposeful high-level pressing, Bayern Munich really couldn't come up with an effective solution.

On the one hand, they wanted to control the ball and try to play the gap behind Ajax. On the other hand, they did not have a very effective way to pass the midfield, so they could only frequently pass long passes to the middle of the front court and the two wings.

On the side of his own half, Yang Yang decisively adjusted the team's defensive strategy. For Ribery and Robben, both of them only allowed Ashraf and Taliafico to keep a guard, but for Lewandowski, Dricht was indecisive.

Ajax's strategy is very simple. Try not to grab the first one, but try to control the second point.

Ribery and Robben took the ball, Ashraf and Taliafico followed the defense, but the focus of the defense was on the other people around.

Both superstars have lost the ability to fight the entire defense line by one person. They need the cooperation of their teammates. If they limit their teammates, it is equivalent to minimizing their threat to the greatest extent.

By the same token, Lewandowski is very difficult to deal with, and Ajax often has to use two central defenders to double-team him.

It was like this time in the twelfth minute, Thomas Mullera went to the right to pick up Robben and passed the diagonally to the penalty area from the right.

Lewandowski blocked Dricht with his body. After stopping the ball with his chest, he tried to pick Dricht and turned around to shoot. However, Militon reacted quickly and rushed behind Dricht and wrapped his body around Lewandowski.

As a result, the two players both hugged and fell to the left of Ajax's goal, and the ball rolled out of the bottom line.

The referee indicated that there was no foul. Militon's defense this time was mainly to block Lewandowski with his body to prevent the Polish center from shooting. Lewandowski tried his best to kick, but he did not hit the ball and his body lost balance.

Soon, Kimmich passed the diagonally from the right side to the penalty area.

Lewandowski grabbed the first landing point again, blocked Dericht with his body, headed the ball behind Ajax's defense line, and Robben quickly inserted it, but Militon took the lead and kicked the ball out of bounds.

Bayern Munich quickly sent out the outbound ball, Robben dribbled the ball from the right and cut inward horizontally, making a cross along the front of the penalty area.

After Thomas Muller took the ball with his back, he turned around and wanted to pass the ball behind him to find Ribery, but Ndongbele appeared just right on the line of the diagonal pass and directly intercepted the ball.

...

He conceded the ball in four minutes at the beginning, but after about ten minutes, Ajax gradually stabilized his position and began to play some of the special training items in the past two weeks.

High-level pressing becomes more orderly and more organized, and has better control over the second point.

This is also a trade-off from Yang Yang.

Whether it is Dricht or Militon, there is no chance of winning against Lewandowski alone.

Since you know that you can't get the first point, it's better to just control the second point.

As the game deepened, Ajax's defensive strategy began to work.

After stabilizing the situation, the team began to fight back.

Ajax's counterattack was also carefully arranged, because Bayern Munich also likes to press at high positions.

Ajax may not have enough advantages in fighting for a long pass, because the Dutch team is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of personal abilities.

Therefore, Yang Yang's counterattack strategy is to not pass for a long time and cooperate directly.

Through Ajax's traditional small-scale continuous transmission and wall-to-wave cooperation, advance forward as quickly as possible and launch a counterattack.

This style of play has one advantage, that is, when you arrive in the frontcourt, it will be very threatening and have a high success rate.

Ajax's first shot in the game occurred in the 17th minute, with a rapid advance from the left.

Taliafico rushed along the left and passed the ball to Neres.

Brazil's left winger dribbled the ball and tried to cut inside, dragged Kimihi to the inside of the penalty area, and then transferred back to the left side.

Taliafico took the opportunity to the bottom and crossed to the penalty area before Kimmich. Jovic got a pretty good opportunity in the left corner of the small penalty area, but unfortunately, this shot failed to suppress the ball, which was too high!

Jovic roared in depression, venting his dissatisfaction.

After all, the pressure on the game is too great.

Whether it is Bayern Munich's central defender or goalkeeper Neuer, they are all top-notch, which doubles the pressure of an unknown person like Jovic. The more he wants to score, the more pressure he is often.

"Luka!" Yang Yang shouted loudly on the sidelines. When he saw Jovic turn his head, he pointed to his brain hard, "Calm down! Take a deep breath and stay calm!"

Jovic took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"No trouble at any time or in any situation!"

This is what Yang Yang told him. As a striker, if you are confused, don’t expect to score a goal.

...

With the first one, Ajax quickly tried the second time.

This time it was a quick counterattack from the right.

Ashraf rushed forward at high speed on the right side and rushed forward with extremely fast speed. After receiving a diagonal pass from Van der Beck, he dribbled the ball all the way to Bayern Munich's right foot outside the penalty area. Before Alaba, he suddenly dunked the ball to the inside and crossed it to the back point.

This is a characteristic of Ashraf. His left heel and his right foot are very proficient.

The sudden diagonal pass made Bayern Munich's penalty area in chaos.

Nerez, Jovic and Sancho are all in the penalty area, and Van der Beck just rushed to the front of the penalty area, and they are all opportunities.

But unfortunately, Ashraf's diagonal pass was missed.

Jovic was restrained by Boateng and Hummels, and Neres jumped high, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it.

An excellent goal opportunity, and passed Ajax again.

...

"here you go!"

Yang Yang rushed to the sidelines, applauded vigorously, and waved to Ashraf to come.

Since Ashraf happened to be close to Yang Yang's side, the Moroccan full-back ran quickly and approached.

"Did you see that? Their left side likes to get the ball. They have a larger gap after intercepting the ball. After you see the opportunity, you should be more determined and you can be more flexible when you insert it. If you catch them off guard, you can create a threat, whether you kick yourself or pass it to your teammates, you can understand?"

When Yang Yang saw the Bayern Munich problem, he immediately gave instructions.

Ashraf nodded vigorously, turned around and ran back to the court.

...

Soon, after Bayern Munich quickly made the goal, he still failed to break through Ajax's defense.

After the two wingers in the frontcourt were imprisoned, Lewandowski could only grab the first point, and Ajax basically got the second point, so soon Ajax planned an attack again.

Or a quick counterattack on the right side.

Ashraf rushed forward quickly and saw Sancho holding the ball against the right side, he decisively chose to cut in.

Sancho immediately passed the ball. After Ashraf got the ball, he made a little adjustment and directly shot with a long shot.

This sudden long shot caught Bayern Munich off guard. Neuer rushed to the side and then almost saved the ball and turned it into Ajax's corner kick.

The subsequent corner kick failed to pose a threat, and Bayern Munich quickly launched a counterattack.

Lewandowski still grabbed the first place, and Thomas Muller also successfully stepped in and grabbed the second place. However, under Taliafico's step-by-step pressing, the Bayern striker had no chance to take a foot.

Finally, on the right side of the penalty area, Thomas Muller barely shot, but failed to play and was hugged by goalkeeper Onana.

Just after twenty minutes, Ajax launched a quick counterattack from the right.

After Van der Beck retreated and received the midfield pass, he passed it to Ashraf who was quick to insert it.

Sancho pulled Alaba directly near the right line. After Ashraf got the ball, his speed did not decrease at all, but he did not go to Sancho, but instead drove the ball and cut in.

Jovic understood it, and suddenly retreated from the front and pulled Hummels out. After receiving Ashraf's pass, he passed it back behind him.

The Moroccan international rushed straight behind Hummels with extremely fast speed, stopped the ball in the penalty area, and shot with his left foot directly.

This shot directly penetrated Bayern Munich's goal, equalizing the score for Ajax!

One to one!

Ashraf was so excited that he ran out all the way after scoring the goal, first ran to the corner kick area to celebrate, then ran to Ajax's coaching seat and bench, and after high-fives with Harvey Alonso, he hugged Yang Yang hard.

He feels really great now!

Because in Ajax, Yang Yang gave him great freedom and trust, and his tactical environment was also very relaxed. In addition, he was surrounded by young players, so he did not have the kind of pressure he was playing football in Real Madrid's first team.

Especially tonight, he felt his feet become lighter, and he gradually began to realize that he seemed to understand how to play football and what kind of development route he was most suitable for.

This was not what Yang Yang told him directly, but it was Yang Yang who guided him to search for it.

The Ajax players were also very excited because they all clearly felt that it was unusual for Ajax to create opportunities through counterattacks since the fifteenth minute.

This proves that Bayern Munich's offense is not terrible, but Ajax's counterattack is very threatening.

Even if it weren't for the lack of opportunities just now, it would have been reversed long ago.

Yang Yang was also very happy and very excited.

After letting go of Ashraf, he said confidently towards the player in front of him: "Now, I'm very sure that as long as we continue to play like this, there will definitely be a chance tonight!"
