1457 Return to Ajax

On the evening of August 8, Philip II Stadium, Skopje, Macedonia.

In the European Super Cup, Real Madrid faces Manchester United.

This is the second time that the two teams have met this summer. Previously, Manchester United defeated Real Madrid with a penalty kick, but this time it was in the European Super Cup.

Real Madrid lined up a 433 formation, with goalkeepers Navas, defense lines are Marcelo, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal, midfielders are Tony Kroos, Casemiro and Modric, and front courts are Isco, Suarez and Mbappe.

With his overall strength advantage, Real Madrid successfully controlled the scene, stabilized the rhythm, and threatened Manchester United's goals one after another. Among them, Mbappe showed strong fighting spirit from the beginning, making the first shot of the game, and a volley from the edge of the penalty area.

But it was Casemiro who scored the goal for Real Madrid in the 24th minute. He received a diagonal pass from Carvajal and scored in front of the goal.

After the second half of the game, Suarez passed the ball from the left, and Isco took the ball in front of the penalty area and cooperated with Mbappe with a two-pass and one-on-one match. He pushed the ball from the far corner and scored another goal for Real Madrid.

Manchester United quickly turned the situation around. In the 62nd minute, Matic's powerful long-range shot caused Navas to miss, and Lukaku made a push shot in front of the goal, successfully recovering one goal, rekindling hope.

Starting from the 65th minute, Zidane made substitutions one after another.

Yang Yang came on as a substitute in the 65th minute and replaced Suarez.

This is also the first time Yang Yang has played for Real Madrid this season, including the previous warm-up matches, and this is also the first time he competes with Mbappe.

The French young player was extremely excited and ran over to hug Yang Yang.

Just five minutes later, after Real Madrid passed into the penalty area and was cleared, Modric stopped the ball outside the 30th area and then passed it back to Mbappe in the right corner of the penalty area.

The French young player stopped the ball and poked the ball directly to the bottom line. He started at lightning speed, threw away Manchester United's defensive player and passed the ball across the goal.

At the front of the small penalty area, Yang Yang arrived and shot in front of the goal, winning another goal for Real Madrid, three to one!

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!"

"Yang Yang's first goal this season came from the assist of young player Mbappe!"

"Mbappe's speed is really too fast, especially when he stopped the ball and threw away the defensive player, he quickly exceeded one position, which made his subsequent crosses more smoothly."

"Yang Yang's running position in front of the goal is also as outstanding as ever. At the critical moment, he pushed the ball in front of the goal to secure the victory for Real Madrid."

After scoring the goal, Yang Yang pointed at Mbappe from afar and did not run out to celebrate, but was waiting for the French young player.

When Mbappe came to him, Yang Yang took the initiative to reach out with both hands and picked him up forcefully.

Mbappe was also extremely excited.

In the past few years, he dreamed of playing in the same game with Yang Yang, but he didn't expect to get what he wants now. And when he was partnering with both sides for the first time, he assisted Yang Yang in front of the goal with a cross pass.

Is there a more dreamy start than this?

...

In stoppage time, Vasquez, who was substituting Mbappe, also staged a series of past two opponents on the right and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Yang Yang and Asensio grabbed this position at the same time, but Asensio took the initiative to give in, and Yang Yang easily pushed the shot and hit it.

Scoring twice!

Four to one!

The entire Philip II Stadium was shouting Yang Yang's name, and he was so excited that he ran out.

After resting for a whole month, Yang Yang practiced hard every day, trying to reduce his weight and adjust his own condition. Now, he has finally ushered in the premiere of the new season.

The second goal is the best gift he gave to Real Madrid fans and even fans who are paying attention to him in the world!

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Manchester United four-one with Yang Yang's second goal and defended the European Super Cup championship again!

After the game, Mourinho said in an interview with the media, "Real Madrid, which has Yang Yang, is the best team in the world."

The implication is that when his team successfully chased the score to one-two and tried to reverse the situation, Yang Yang came on the bench and seized two opportunities, laying the victory for Real Madrid and also extinguishing Manchester United's counterattack.

Manchester United's core midfielder, former Real Madrid player Herrera also said in an interview with British media after the game that Yang Yang can always turn the tide, and he will always be trusted by everyone at critical moments. He is the most important player of Real Madrid!

Real Madrid coach Zidane also said at the post-match press conference that he arranged for Yang Yang to bench because he was not fully prepared, "but he was born a player for the game!"

Zidane also said that in the next first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Yang Yangru was still a substitute.

"We hope he can get a better rest and maintain his best condition!"

But what the media and fans don’t know is that Yang Yang temporarily left the team while transiting from Macedonia and took a flight to the Netherlands in the north, but did not return to Madrid with the team.

…………

…………

After losing the qualifying for the Champions League group stage, Ajax returned to the Netherlands and ushered in the first round of the Eredivisie in the new season.

Ajax's opponent is Hercules, who is not strong. This team ranked tenth in the Dutch Eredivisie last season. There is still a clear gap in overall strength compared to Ajax.

In this game, Ajax also showed quite strong strength, with a ball possession rate of up to 75%, and a ball possession rate of even close to 80% in the first half, which is already a very shocking gap.

But in this case, Ajax actually lost to Hercules 1-2 away, losing the first game of the new season, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among fans in Amsterdam.

If losing the qualification for the Champions League group stage has already made Amsterdam people feel resentful, then now, losing the first round of the new season, even Ajax has begun to show rifts.

The media and fans were both dissatisfied with this result and attacked one after another, bombarding Ajax's poor performance in the new season. At the same time, they questioned the operation of the management, believing that the team has earned 150 million euros in the transfer market, but did not introduce powerful players, but instead wanted to invest their funds in China's youth training base.

"Have they all forgotten the lessons of the failure of Ajax, Cape Town, South Africa?"

Van Gaal and Van der Sarte held a press conference to clarify and explain the reasons why Ajax established a youth training base in China, and expressed his optimism about the future growth of the Chinese market. At the same time, he also introduced the youth training plan and the bright prospects of many other projects that cooperate with Chinese football.

But none of this helps, and Ajax's poor results have angered the media and fans.

Even after losing to Hercules, the chairman of the Supervisory Council, Leo Van Vik, personally came forward and expressed that he would reconsider the plan to build a youth training base in China.

Behind the media and fans did not know, Leo Van Wick also made demands on Ajax's management, hoping that they would come up with a solution to the current team's difficulties as soon as possible, and at the same time, they would assume the responsibility of the team's continuous failure in the Champions League play-offs.

When Yang Yang arrived in Amsterdam, he could clearly feel the pressure on the club.

He can imagine the chaos in the first team today, and the contradictions in the management.

...

"They should know that we just experienced a restructuring. This summer, we sold the entire central axis and it would take some time to reorganize the team. This is not something that can be done overnight."

In Ajax's office, Yang Yang was dissatisfied with the pressure from the Supervisory Council, especially the decision to stop the China Youth Training Base, which was a plan he had planned for a long time and the main reason for acquiring Ajax.

"The supervisory committee is also under great pressure. The team's halo of the second runner-up in the Europa League last season was so dazzling that it brought a lot of unrealistic expectations to the media and fans. As a result, this summer's transfer operation, we could not retain the players and were forced to sell the central axis. What followed was the decline in performance and the expectations were shattered..."

Van der Sar felt helpless and difficult about this.

Speaking of which, Ajax's current situation is understandable, but in professional arenas, results are everything.

Without grades, you will not receive any sympathy and understanding.

"Keisel did a good job in the second team, but now it seems that he is not ready to be the only one. Moreover, the performance of the second team last season was somewhat the result of the team's strength. Keisel has not yet seen the ability to change the current situation of the team for the time being."

Van Gaal himself is the head coach. To a certain extent, Keisel was also the compromise that the team had to make after Pete Boss suddenly left the team, because Ajax really couldn't find a more suitable head coach at that time.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll take this responsibility." Van Gaal sighed and said.

As a technical director, it is understandable that the class is dismissed from poor grades.

"No!" Yang Yang waved his hand without hesitation. He knew Van Gaal's role in Ajax, and also knew the importance of Van Gaal in his plan. After finally convinced him to join Ajax, how could he take the blame and step down?

What's more, Ajax's current situation is really not Van Gaal's responsibility, at least he is not the main responsibility.

Of course, it is impossible to say that the team's performance was too good last season. After all, who believes this if you say it?

"What else?" Van Gaal looked at Yang Yang, then Wei Zheng, Van der Sar and others, but there was no answer.

Although the season has just begun, Ajax's start of this season is really bad. To some extent, the head coach or technical director is dismissed from get out of class because of this, which is a routine operation.

After all, it can alleviate the anger of fans and the pressure from the supervisory committee.

But Yang Yang didn't plan to do this.

"Then let the news come out and say that management is operating and I'm back to Ajax!"
Chapter completed!
