138 Lifeline [100 Monthly Pass]

After both sides completed the substitution, the game started quickly.

The order led by Yang Yang was quickly executed by the Ajax players, and everyone was barely calmed down in panic.

Moreover, Ajax quickly made a second substitution adjustment. Galasek replaced Pinal and pushed captain Van der Fate to the left winger, allowing Galasek and De Jong to form a double midfielder.

After being seriously injured, Van der Fate no longer had sharp speed, but his consciousness and skills were still quite outstanding.

After playing Arsenal's first leg, he took the initiative to settle with Ronald Koeman and promised that he would do his best to play for the team, and the head coach also promised to give him more trust and freedom.

This time, Ronald Koeman replaced Pinal and left Van der Fate.

Two consecutive substitutions allowed all Ajax players on the court to clearly understand the head coach's intentions.

Stabilize the defense and counterattack quickly.

Ronald Koeman has an extremely brilliant career and is known as the best central defender at scoring goals. This gives him a unique understanding of professional football. After retiring, he has successively learned from Hiddink and Van Gaal, two head coaches with extremely strong personal styles, which has greatly improved Koeman's coaching ability.

Even when he encounters a crisis of trust, the outside world's doubts about him are still on his on-the-spot command.

He has just entered his forties and is a young coach with a well-known reputation in European football. His experience is naturally not as rich as that of the old coaches, but it is difficult for anyone who is picky to criticize the Ajax team he trained.

The best proof is that it has entered the Champions League quarterfinals for two consecutive seasons.

Yang Yang's every step from Almele to Ajax, from the youth team to the first team, greatly broadened his horizons, and allowed him to see the broader world of the football world and learn more.

Especially after entering the first team, he truly felt his transformation from an amateur player to a professional player.

He has absorbed a wealth of technical and tactical knowledge from Ronald Koeman, the coaching staff, as well as the entire technical and tactical system of the first team. This not only greatly improves his ability to play on the court, but also greatly strengthens his personal technical and tactical qualities, which will be of great benefit to his future development.

The rest of Ajax first team players are obviously the same.

So, when Ronald Koeman waved his hand on the sidelines and asked everyone to tighten the defense and increase the pressing force against Real Madrid, every player of Ajax knew clearly what he should do.

It is useless to press one person, but if ten people work together to press organizedly, the effect will be amazing.

Even if he is as strong as Real Madrid, he will have to suffer losses under the overall pressure of Ajax in the final stage of the second half. He will make frequent passes and catches, and there is only a threatening opportunity to counterattack.

…………

…………

Yang Yang kept running and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. As soon as Raul Bravo got the ball, he immediately pressed forward to interfere, forcing him to pass the ball immediately.

He could clearly feel that after the two consecutive exchanges, the team worked together and the situation on the court changed again.

The more intuitive change is that Ajax's pressing and oppression played a role. Real Madrid's players did not run many times and made frequent passes and receiving mistakes, giving Ajax a chance to counterattack.

But Yang Yang understood that this was just an illusion. He had vaguely figured out something, but he could never catch it.

Since it was during the competition, he did not continue to explore, but instead ran in the space intently.

Real Madrid's frontcourt superstars all did not return to defense. After Queros replaced Borja, the only two midfielders who really participated in the back defense in the frontcourt were Beckham and Borja, two midfielders. Captain Raul was very active in running and would occasionally return to defense.

But this is obviously not enough.

As long as his team intercepted the ball and wanted to counterattack, Yang Yang immediately ran to the air to respond. Unfortunately, his teammates either didn't notice him or saw it but couldn't pass it. Another time, the quality was not high. Yang Yang failed to stop the ball well and made a mistake.

Time is getting less and less, but Ajax players are still pressing and oppressing.

Every player feels heavy guilt and doesn't need to say much, they know it themselves.

The success of the first half and the lead of that goal covered their eyes, making them a little blind and arrogant, so that they were stunned by their opponents at the beginning of the second half. One to four, this was a complete defeat and they needed to make up for it.

Yang Yang was also running non-stop, believing that his teammates would definitely pass the ball to his feet.

And he would do everything possible to send the ball to the frontcourt to Ibrahimovic, and he also believed that the Swedish center would definitely be able to score the ball.

As long as you can get one goal back, two to four, Ajax will at least retain a glimmer of hope.

Even if it's just theoretical hope.

In the 86th minute, Ajax made a quick counterattack from the left, Van der Fate got a chance in the penalty area, Maxwell's cross from the left accurately found Ajax captain in the penalty area, and Van der Fate's subsequent header shot directly hit Casillas's hand.

Heading is really not Van der Fate's strength.

Captain Ajax roared in depression, but when he turned around, he did not forget to give a thumbs up at his teammates.

Everyone understands that if the ball becomes Wesley Songk, it might be in.

Yang Yang on the right exhaled helplessly and ran back quickly.

Sometimes the opportunity is like this. Ibrahimovic is at the high point and the opponent will closely guard it. Even if Maxwell wants to pass, he may not have the chance to pass it over. He is forced to find Van der Fate.

But as a result, Van der Fate's shooting angle was not big, central defender Elgra is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Salgado is even more famous as a fierce player, and Van der Fate's ability to win the opportunity to head the ball was considered to be the best.

Real Madrid kicked forward with a big foot and sent the ball to the frontcourt.

Escud beat Ronaldo to grab the first landing point and pushed the ball back.

The midfielders of both sides competed.

Real Madrid's 4231 seems to have the advantage in the midfield, but in fact only Beckham, Borja and Raul participated in the pressing, and Zidane and Figo remained on the wing and waiting for opportunities.

This made the number of midfielders of both sides equal. Even when Yang Yang and Van der Fate actively returned to defense, Ajax had the advantage in numbers and soon snatched the ball.

After Sneider got the ball, he quickly sent the ball to the right with one kick.

Yang Yang quickly started from the midfield and chased the ball.

Sneider and Yang Yang cooperated more and more tacitly. He knew very well what kind of ball Yang Yang liked. This ball was just right and passed to Yang Yang's step, allowing him to continue moving forward very comfortably after receiving the ball, facing Raul Bravo directly.

Real Madrid's left-back has been playing for more than 80 minutes, but he faced Yang Yang who came on the bench directly, one-on-one, for the first time. He knew his opponent's fame and knew Yang Yang's specialty, so he retreated again and again.

But after Yang Yang received the ball and stabilized his pace, he actually accelerated and quickly narrowed the distance between himself and Bravo. This surprised Real Madrid's left defender. He instinctively reacted that he had no choice but to retreat and could only grab it.

At this moment, Yang Yang's right shoulder sank, as if he was about to break through the outside line, inducing Raul Bravo to quickly block it, but suddenly, Yang Yang's whole body shook, and Bravo felt a figure in front of him, and he turned out to be in a change of desire to walk inside.

As soon as the two sides contacted each other, in a very short period of time, Yang Yang's continuous false actions made Raul Bravo misjudgment. He wanted to shift the center of gravity and block Yang Yang's incision, he suddenly felt a pain in his left foot, and he lost his balance and fell on the grass, watching Yang Yang leave with his helpless eyes.

After just passing Raul Bravo, Yang Yang quickly dribbled the ball and headed towards Real Madrid's penalty area. Without waiting for Borja to come forward to block it, he directly crossed the ball with a curved ball and hung the ball into Real Madrid's penalty area.

Ibrahimovic had long understood it and rushed forward as quickly as possible. He jumped high before Mexia and stopped Yang Yang's cross with his chest.

Mexia, who had been blocked by the Swedish center, stepped forward desperately, trying to block the Swedish center with his body, but he was depressed to find that the other party was like a mountain, and he couldn't push it no matter how hard he pushed it. He could only stretch out his feet, hoping to hook the ball.

But Ibrahimovic is tall and has long legs. When he stopped the ball with his chest, he had already prepared the next step. Even if Mexia stretched his legs as much as possible, he could not reach the ball at all. Instead, the Swedish center shot directly with his right foot without waiting for the ball to land.

Casillas leaned to the right, but the Swedish center's shot was oriented towards the lower left corner, which made Real Madrid's goalkeeper react immediately, but he was still unable to prevent the ball from entering the net.

Two to four!

Ibrahimovic clenched his fists and stood there with a roar.

Yang Yang quickly inserted from behind and jumped onto Ibrahimovic's back, but instead of celebrating with the Swedish center, he shouted loudly beside his ear: "There is still time, we still have a chance!"

He had a very strong premonition that he would definitely score goals as long as he continued to follow the current pace.

He couldn't explain this premonition, but it actually existed.

The Swedish center who reacted immediately woke up, and Yang Yang jumped directly from his back, rushed towards the goal, picked up the ball, turned around and ran.

But at this moment, the referee suddenly blew a whistle and signaled the Real Madrid team doctor and stretcher to enter the venue.

Yang Yang, who had just put the ball in the middle circle and was waiting for the Real Madrid player to come and kick the ball, noticed that Raul Bravo, who had just been shaken down by him, never stood up again. He was grabbing his left leg with a very painful expression.

He was injured.

Yang Yang reached out to wipe his sweaty face and raised his head helplessly.

What a great opportunity!
