41 We're not done with this!

As the most dazzling star in the Ajax youth training camp, Ryan Babel was not in a good mood at this time.

He originally thought Almere was a soft persimmon, but he didn't expect it to be a tough guy.

John Repp still lined up in this game, but in fact, the right winger Yang Yang was the one who stood in front. The other players organized three tight defense lines and stationed inside and outside the 30-meter zone of the team's halftime.

This has encountered a very big obstacle to Ajax's offense.

As the team's number one star, Ryan Babel was even more closely cared for by the other party and it was difficult to perform, which made him secretly anxious and his eyes swept to the simple chairman's stands from time to time.

The first team's chief assistant coach Luther Carroll and the youth team's head coach Marco Van Basten were both sitting there. Both of them are the people who can determine his next career development. Babel naturally hopes to have a good performance in front of them and strive to enter the first team in the new season.

But unexpectedly, Almele's defense was very meticulous, and he didn't look like a team under the age of 18?

As the center in the frontcourt, Babel was closely guarded by Almele, and it was difficult to get the ball, and it was even more difficult to play his own speed and technical advantages. When he saw that his pass was difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense, he decisively chose to pull the edge.

When he was in the youth team, Van Basten once encouraged him, "Keep working hard and you can be the next Thierry Henry."

This sentence has always inspired Babel, so as a right-footed player, he prefers to move on the left side.

This is the area Henry is best at.

The Ajax players cooperated with each other. As soon as Babel pulled the side, the others immediately understood and slowed down the offensive appropriately, giving Almere a chance to breathe, but in fact they were planning the next wave of attacks.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Babel, who was pulling the side, caught Almele's chance of relaxing defense and cut into the penalty area from the left, getting a very threatening chance to start the game, but unfortunately, he did not play in the main position and missed the opportunity to score.

The time is the thirteenth minute of the first half.

After successfully creating murderous intent, Ajax's morale was even stronger and soon launched another wave of offensive.

The strength gap between the two sides was huge, and there was a panic in front of the goal, and the defense line was even more shaky.

…………

…………

Yang Yang was waiting for his midfield and backcourt teammates to pass the ball, but he found it difficult.

At least, it's harder than head coach John Reps thought before the game.

Ajax obviously had enough energy in this game. He wanted to defeat Almere away. In addition, the huge gap in strength between the two teams made it difficult for Almere to get a chance.

He wanted to help the team, but Ajax didn't give him such a chance at all.

Thomas Fermuren and Ulby Emmanuelson always cruised around him, and the team was basically defending in the middle and backcourt, so it was difficult for Yang Yang to get the ball, so naturally he couldn't help the team.

"I have to do something." Yang Yang murmured to himself.

He felt that he could no longer wait.

So, he chose to return to defense.

…………

…………

"The difference in strength between the two teams is too big."

Seeing Yang Yang start to return to his half-time defense, John Rep shook his head helplessly and sighed.

The huge gap in overall strength left Almere with no choice but to defend or even defend.

The situation on the court should be even worse before the game. It is obvious that the arrival of Van Basten and Luther Carroll and others greatly stimulated the fighting spirit and game investment of Ajax players, which was something that John Reps could not have expected before the game.

"What should I do now?" Dick Vanpur asked worriedly.

John Rep shook his head helplessly.

At this point, as the team's head coach, he can't do much, and he can only rely on the performance of the players on the court.

The team can reach the sixth round, eliminate teams such as Volendan, and challenge Ajax head-on. In any case, it can be said that they are still honored even if they lose. I just hope that this game will not be too embarrassing.

…………

…………

Another attack by Ajax was blocked, but the ball quickly returned to Almere's 30-meter zone, and Maduro got the ball in the center.

Ajax's frontcourt tridents were Ferdi Elmas, Ryan Babel and Tom Demur, while Maduro's side were Aborah and Amrabat.

After Sneider and De Jong were transferred to the first team, this was already the main lineup configuration of the Ajax Youth Team.

Facing the youth team of the third-level team Almele, Ajax is full of confidence. Even if he failed to win the opponent successfully at the beginning, most players were not anxious, and still firmly suppressed their opponents and waited patiently for the opportunity.

But everyone was eager to use their performance to convince the two people in the stands.

Maduro himself is no exception.

As the team's midfield core, after receiving the ball, he quickly raised his right hand, signaling his teammates to stabilize and control the rhythm calmly, but after passing the ball to Amrabat, he got a chance and immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to ask for the ball again.

The ball quickly returned to Maduro's feet, but he did not stop the ball, and directly passed the ball to the left of the penalty area. Babel, who was playing center, pulled it to the side again. Before Almere's players, he stopped the ball to Fedi Elmas and pointed his hand in the inside.

Elmas understood and passed the ball to the left side of the arc top area at the front of the penalty area. Babel, who was originally on the left side, suddenly started, like a strong cheetah, quickly threw away the defensive player and chased the ball as fast as possible.

From Maduro's diagonal pass to Babel stopping the ball and back to Elmas' cross, the whole process was a skillful and smooth pass, Ajax players not only demonstrated their outstanding personal ability, but also demonstrated Ajax's youth training philosophy.

When everyone saw Babel throwing away the defensive player and rushing towards the ball, countless fans exclaimed.

There is no defense in the front of the penalty area now!

This talented star of Ajax was praised by Van Basten as the second Henry, as a right-footed player, and let him get the ball from the left side of the penalty area arc. What a dangerous thing?

But all this happened in the blink of an eye, and it was too late to wait until the Almere players reacted and wanted to catch up again.

Nick, who was closest to the distance, was about to throw Elmas away, but when he turned around and chased him back, he felt a figure beside him quickly passing by and chased the ball obliquely, which was faster than Babel, who had planned it.

Babel counted the beats intently, adjusted his pace, stared at Almere's goalkeeper, came to the ball, stood firm with his left foot, and swung his right foot, feeling unprecedentedly good. He knew that as long as he shot out, he would definitely win.

I must make the ball!

But just as he was full of confidence and was sure to win, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Before he could react, he saw someone taking the lead and suddenly jumped out of his side, taking the lead, and poking the ball.

At the critical moment, a last kick was actually destroyed.

The angry Babel did not stop his feet in anger and kicked the shot firmly on the opponent's calf.

Yang Yang, who had just run back from a distance to defend, fell to the ground. Before he could even rejoice for his critical apology, he was kicked in his calf. A severe pain came and he immediately screamed.

Henk Dimmel, Nick and others nearby were immediately furious and rushed towards Babel. The Ajax players immediately surrounded him and protected their teammates first.

The referee blew the whistle at the right time, walked over to see Yang Yang's situation, and confirmed that it was just a kick in the calf. After that, he got up and walked towards Babel, reaching out to reach into his pocket on his chest.

Yellow card!

Not only that, the referee also severely warned Babel to calm his temper, otherwise he would not mind giving him another one.

The Ajax rookie glared at Almele and couldn't even look at Yang Yang who was still lying on the ground, and turned around and left.

On the contrary, Thomas Fermall and Maduro and several Ajax players surrounded him and were concerned about Yang Yang's injuries. It was not until he stood up from the ground that everyone dispersed and prepared to start the game again.

…………

…………

"If his personality does not change, he will sooner or later harm him."

In the stands, Van Basten shook his head and sighed after seeing Ryan Babel kicking Yang Yang's calf and being warned by the referee's yellow card. After the referee turned his head and left without any grace. After performing without any grace, he shook his head and sighed.

It is a small move to play with the trend without restraining his feet and playing with the trend. It is very common in professional arenas. Even if he gets a yellow card, no one will blame Babel. However, after kicking someone, he does not take the initiative to pull up his opponent. This proves that he is really angry and angry, and this is the most deadly thing.

Van Basten is indeed very optimistic about this player. He needs speed, skill, and good size and height. As long as he strives to maintain progress, he believes that there will be great development in the future, so he will use Henry to motivate him.

But Babel's biggest problem is his personality. Even in Ajax, he seems very out of place.

In the youth team, it is very important to be able to get along with your teammates and integrate into the locker room when you are in the first team.

On the other hand, Yang Yang took the initiative to stand up for him after he was hit, and many Ajax players, including Fermuren, Emmanurson and Maduro, also came forward to care about him. He did not seem to be angry at others at all, but in turn thanked several Ajax players for their concern.

All of these are manifestations of maturity, and in comparison, Babel is much inferior.

"This Yang Yang is really surprising. He took the initiative to return from the frontcourt to the front of the penalty area, and dared to risk being kicked to make key clearances at the critical moment. This is not easy." Luther Carroll liked the more he looked at it.

Ronald Koeman's preference for players is very similar to Van Gaal, and he likes those with strong tactical execution. As the first team's chief assistant coach, Luther Carroll naturally knows this.

On the contrary, Tony Browns Slotz looked at Yang Yang who bent down in the stadium and massaged his right calf, and said with concern: "I hope you won't get hurt."

But on the court, Yang Yang massaged his calf while looking up at the opponent in front, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
