1587 This scene looks a bit different!
After the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match, media and fans all over the world were alarmed.
Juventus vowed to return to Italy to revenge, while Ajax remained low-key.
After returning to the Eredivisie, Yang Yang rotated ten players in one go, only goalkeeper Onana continued, but Ajax was still at home, defeating the visiting Rotterdam elite seven to one.
Two talented players from Norway directed five goals, Haaland scored a hat trick and an assist, Odgao scored twice and an assist, and the rest of the players such as Marlen, Stens and Rosario performed well.
Although it was a 7-1 win, for Ajax, who had already won the championship ahead of schedule, this game was no longer meaningful. It was more about pleaseing fans from the scene and examining the players' performance.
In the 32nd round of Serie A played at the same time as Ajax, Juventus challenged Spal away. When Keane scored a goal for Juventus in the first half, he conceded two goals in the second half and lost one-two away.
But everyone can see that Allegri has undergone a large rotation in this game, and players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Dybala and other players did not appear, and obviously they are also keeping their energy to prepare for the Champions League.
To make matters worse, center Mandzukichi was injured after playing Ajax and was destined to miss the second leg of the two sides, and Ajax also suffered an injury and retreated from Taliafiko.
Both teams have injuries and loss, which also makes people look forward to the second round of the game.
Everyone wants to see if Yang Yang can still create surprises on the away game like he did in the first round.
…………
…………
On the evening of April 16, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.
After the 90-minute first round between the two sides, the second round of the two teams undoubtedly became more targeted.
Needless to say, Allegri's Juventus, the Italian head coach has always been known for his tactics.
After learning from the first round, Allegri took the initiative to adjust his tactics in the second round and adopted a formation similar to 43112. In front was Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala at the forefront, Emre Jan was in the front position higher than other midfielders, and Matuidi, Pianic and Bernardeschi were relatively backward.
Juventus' targeted strategy is very clear, that is, to oppress Ajax's drag-down midfielder Frankie De Jong through Emre Jan, hoping to suppress Ajax's pass and ball control organization in this way.
You should know that in the first leg, Ajax was able to win because of Frankie Dejong's back-end organization and dispatch, and the Dutch midfielder also won the honor of the best player in the game.
A week later, it was natural that Allegri wanted to further restrict Frankie DeJong.
Mandzukichi's injury made Allegri turn to the combination of two strikers, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala. Obviously, he still hopes to defeat Ajax through overall stable defense and sharp and fast counterattacks.
In contrast, Yang Yang did not make too many adjustments to Ajax.
After a week of rest, the young guards still responded in a 433 formation. The difference from the first round is that Taliafico's injury allowed Brazil's left-back Ruoge to qualify.
Similarly, Yang Yang, who scored twice, missed the lineup again, and still Van der Beck, who performed well in the first round.
Like Allegri's strategy, Van der Beck's tactical goal is still single midfielder Pianic.
...
Unlike the first leg game, Juventus was two goals behind in the second leg game and could no longer be conservative after returning to home court.
Allegri's team took the initiative to push forward from the beginning, actively pressing high positions, trying to suppress Ajax.
Although he played away and got two more goals, Ajax also played without any conservative play.
After a week of rest, this group of young players became lively again. They once again had full power output at the beginning, covering with crazy running, unremitting pressing and oppressing, and entered a fast-paced offensive battle with Juventus. Both sides did not seem conservative at all.
But what's interesting is that the pace of both sides played very fast, and neither of them held back. Everyone wanted to play fast, but no one could score.
Unlike Ajax, Juventus' fast pace lasted only ten minutes.
The reason is simple, they are older and less able to last.
On the contrary, Ajax is young and strong, not only has better physical fitness, but also has stronger running ability. After the previous group stage and the quarterfinals knockout round, and the first round of the two sides, the temperament of these young players is completely different.
They ran wildly on the court, covering almost every corner of the court.
This makes Juventus players very depressed, because no matter where they grab the ball or receive the ball, they will be immediately forced by Ajax players.
These crazy boys can always make a defensive advantage in the shortest time by running almost exaggeratedly, at any time, in any area of the court, and then press and press and press and press against their opponents.
The picture that best reflects the characteristics of Ajax appears in the 21st minute.
At that time, Sancho, Ndongbele and Ashraf, who were inserted behind, tried to form a two-pass and one-on-one cooperation on the wing, but Sandro took the lead and broke the ball, and the ball changed hands.
At the moment of intercepting the ball, there were three Juventus players around Sandro, namely Matuidi, the closest to him, Emre Jan in front and Pjanic in the drag. These three players are his most suitable route for the ball.
But just after the ball interception was successful, Sandro was quickly entangled by Sancho. Then, in less than two seconds, Ajax quickly blocked and cut Sandro and the ball-out route around him, forming a four-on-three siege in some areas.
In the end, Sandro was unable to pass the ball, and was eventually snatched back by Sancho and quickly turned into a quick attack by Ajax. Jovic scored a shot in the penalty area and missed slightly.
When seeing this scene, Allegri slapped his forehead hard on the sidelines, obviously very distressed.
Yang Yang's team is more confident and more organized as he plays.
It is obvious that he has been exploring and improving before, and after every game, he has summarized and analyzed it, and the improved Ajax has become stronger and stronger.
If you look at the scene alone, who would believe that the person wearing a white striped shirt was Juventus who reached the Champions League final twice?
And wearing a black away jersey is Ajax, who is the youngest among the top 32 Champions League, with an average age of only about twenty?
This scene looks a bit big!
But, however, Allegri has no effective method for this.
Why did Yang Yang dare not to go back in the second round?
Because he saw through Juventus' weakness!
He knew that even if he didn't, he could still suppress his opponent, so he had to use the best steel on the blade!
…………
…………
"I'm really feeling now why we are a hopeful team."
Xavi Alonso said in admiration on the sidelines.
He was becoming more and more satisfied with the performance of the players on the field. He even felt that he could no longer make more demands on these young boys, because it would seem harsh if there were more.
Both the frontcourt Trident and Van der Beck can provide physically running and oppression, actively investing in counter-attacks on the spot. The double midfielders Frankie DeJong and Ndongbele are very flexible. They always move in line according to the situation on the field and can keep up with their teammates in front of them at any time.
The counter-attack against Sandro just now was that Ndongbele put pressure on the first time, and Frankie De Jong took the initiative to drag the back and assist in defense, which led to the players in front of him let go of the ball and then snatched the ball.
There are also two central defenders, Militon and Dricht have a large range of activities. They did not limit themselves to the central defender position, but instead flexibly pulled the edge and pressed forward. Especially Militon, who can even press the midfield to make up for the position because his return speed is very fast.
Harvey Alonso looked at Yang Yang with admiration. He is now beginning to understand what Yang Yang said to him before the season.
Everything was still unclear at that time, but Yang Yang was full of confidence in Ajax. Now, this group of players has gradually played out, and Ajax is gradually fulfilling the promises Yang Yang needed before the season and realizing the football he wanted.
And all this comes from Yang Yang's indoctrination and his persistence!
"You can't be careless. Juventus is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Yang Yang said cautiously.
Sometimes he can be very risky, but at any time he is still the cautious and cautious Yang Yang who takes every step of the way.
Just as *** said, you should despise your opponent strategically, but you should pay attention to your opponent tactically.
What's more, Yang Yang knew very well that Ajax was not so strong that it was invincible. On the contrary, Ajax's achievements were all achieved through his own efforts. If he was a little relaxed or had a slight mistake, he would cause irreparable losses anytime and anywhere.
...
Just as Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso were paying attention to the situation, something suddenly happened on the court.
Bernardeski's shot was blocked from the baseline, forming a corner kick from Juventus.
Pjanic took a corner kick, and in the penalty area, many Juventus players took the initiative.
Bonucci and his teammates blocked Ajax's defensive player at the same time. Cristiano Ronaldo originally deliberately fell at the back point, but suddenly bypassed the middle lane with the densest crowd and rushed to the front point to compete.
De Rigt reacted immediately and tried to block the Portuguese, but was influenced by Bonucci and collided with Militon and both fell to the ground.
Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high in front and headed the ball!
Three consecutive games to score!
One to zero!
Chapter completed!
