266 Ace [10th Monthly Ticket for Exploding Liver]
When referee Dick van Egmond blew the whistle to the end of the first half, deafening cheers rang out at the entire Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.
With Yang Yang's double score in the first half, Ajax temporarily led Alkmaar 2-1.
Yang Yang was already sweating profusely, but his expression was very excited. He kept slapping high with his teammates along the way.
The referee Van Egmund also had a good impression of Yang Yang. When he saw Yang Yang coming over, he took the initiative to shake hands with him.
Among the Dutch Eredivisie referees, Yang Yang's reputation has always been very positive. He rarely uses small moves, focuses on the game, and never falls. There is even a saying in the referee circle that as long as Yang Yang falls to the ground, he will definitely be violated.
Such a player, coupled with his performance getting better and better this season, is naturally popular everywhere.
"Thank you, Dick!" Yang Yang shook hands with Van Egmond.
"Continue to come on."
The referee did not have much contact with Yang Yang. After shook hands, he walked back to the player's passage with the lineman.
This kind of open contact is still allowed in terms of rules.
Yang Yang saw Van Gaal standing at the entrance of the player's passage, as if he had been detained for millions.
"How is it? How does it feel to return to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium?" Yang Yang walked over and asked with a smile.
Van Gaal was so angry that he didn't open the pot.
Yang Yang was so happy that the old man called him to provoke him before the game.
"The game is not over yet, why are you happy?" Van Gaal said in a deep voice.
"Happy." Yang Yang still had a smile on his face, but in Van Gaal's eyes, he had the urge to suck him.
"I said that you won't disappoint you. This is the case in the first half and the second half."
After saying that, Yang Yang deliberately waved to him and then entered the player channel.
Van Gaal stared at his back for a long time, then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"This brat..."

“Alkmaar’s defense is still very good, especially in the middle.”
"Yes, I have to play in the second half, I guess I have to start from the right."
"I didn't expect that Van Gaal had always focused on training and offense before. Now he went to Alkmaar, but he had trained the defense. It was really unpredictable."
"Some things are actually common. Although Van Gaal is known for offensive football, he actually has good at coaching and defense. And as the head coach, even if he doesn't understand, don't he have an assistant coach?"
...
The 2-1 lead temporarily, leaving Ajax's players not daring to be careless in the locker room.
Alkmaul has indeed performed quite high this season, especially as the season deepens, his performance is getting better and better. Judging from the first half, their strength is indeed not as good as Ajax, but their performance on the court is not inferior.
Alkmaar is definitely not a good deal to be able to lead the Eredivisie standings.
"Yang, what's wrong with you?" Sneider looked at Yang Yang who had been silent.
I don’t know when it started, but in Ajax’s locker room, more and more people are accustomed to asking Yang Yang’s opinions before doing something, even if it’s just a symbolic question.
The players themselves did not feel this change, and Yang Yang did not notice it either. It was like a subtle change for a period of time, unconsciously, and accepted by everyone.
"I wonder if you found a very interesting place?"
Yang Yang's question made everyone in the locker room pay attention, and they wanted to know what Yang Yang said was interesting.
"Van Gaal has always believed in dominant tactics, but this tactical style has high requirements for the players' abilities. In this season's Eredivisie, we and Eindhoven both adopted this style of play, but Eindhoven started with defense, while Van Gaal's philosophy has always started with offense."
Different starting points lead to different ways of selecting players in the two teams, and their tactical styles and routines are also different.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary fans, there may be no difference, it is similar.
"But Alkmaar's players do not have this ability to achieve Van Gaal's tactical play, so they need more running, and I wonder if you have noticed that when the ball is on the left, their players and overall defensive formation will quickly move to the left, in order to create a numerical advantage and create enough pressure."
In theory, if the pressure is sufficient and the player's defensive position is not problem, it will be difficult for the opponent to pass the ball out.
"Alkmaar's players obviously failed to fully implement Van Gaal's idea. During high-speed movement, it is difficult for their assisted defense to be kept within a reasonable range, which is about ten meters."
Ajax himself adopted this style of play, so Yang Yang is not unfamiliar with it.
Take his two goals in the first half for example. Although the methods are different, they are almost the same in their bones.
After pulling to the sideline to receive the ball, he dribbled the ball in at high speed and used his speed to hit the opponent's defensive formation, causing the opponent's players to make mistakes in assisting in defense and filling the position, and then seized the opportunity to score the goal.
Tactical theory is always perfect, but as long as it is performed by people, it is impossible not to make mistakes.
It is impossible for eleven people on the field to maintain the same frequency at all times.
"Yang Yang's observation was correct at all!"
Ronald Koeman's voice suddenly came from the door of the locker room, and the players looked over and found that the head coach and Luther Carroll were not sure when they were standing there.
"Alkmaar's players are not yet adapted to Van Gaal's playing style, so there are quite a loopholes. In the second half, we have to use this to play, attract the opponent's defensive center of gravity to one side, and then suddenly move to the other side to attack!"
This tactical style of play is not uncommon to suddenly move from one side of the court to the other.
When Yang Yang heard this, he suddenly realized it.
"Boss, what do you mean is to use the right side to feint attack, and then suddenly move to the left side to create murderous intent?"
"Smart!" Ronald Koeman praised with a smile.
Whether it is Koeman or Luther Carroll, they are increasingly discovering that Yang Yang is actually a very smart player, good at thinking and summarizing. This is probably related to his strong learning ability. He is a veritable academic master in the team.
Even in the intensive season, he can still maintain his top cultural course scores.
"Clone Camp was injured, Alkmaar's right defense had weaknesses, and Van Gaal was very afraid of our right, so every time the ball reached the right, they would quickly set up heavy defense to the left."
Speaking of this, Ronald Coman paused and smiled slightly, "After experiencing Yang Yang's second scoring in the first half, I believe they will be more afraid in the second half, so we will use this to create opportunities."
Yang Yang is like a trump card in Ajax's hands. No matter where he is placed, Alkmaar must pay attention to it, especially after the second score, Van Gaal cannot ignore his defense against Yang Yang.
This is Ajax's biggest advantage.
On the other hand, Alkmaar does not have ace players like Yang Yang.
…………

After the second half of the game changed sides, Van Gaal soon realized something was wrong.
After the opening, Ajax played very actively, took the initiative to push the attack, and was on the right side led by Yang Yang.
The right combination of Yang Yang and Maicon is the right offensive channel that makes the opponent frightened in the Eredivisie League. It is reasonable to attack the right side, but Van Gaal still feels puzzled and uneasy.
Until the 51st point, just six minutes into the second half, Yang Yang ran to the open space to receive the ball on the right and attracted Alkmaar's defensive attention to the left, suddenly a big foot shifted and sent the ball to the left.
Maxwell quickly inserted it, stopped the ball with his chest on the left line, quickly dribbled the ball, formed a beautiful two-pass and one-way cooperation with Pinal, and passed it to the front of the penalty area.
Sneider quickly inserted and shot in the top of the arc, breaking Alkmaar's goal again, three-to-one!
This goal woke Van Gaal up completely.
He knew very well that he had fallen into Ronald Koeman's plan!
Van Gaal quickly made adjustments, but Ajax played a rhythm and morale and continued to launch a series of offensives. Instead, Alkmaar was forced to retreat step by step.
Just nine minutes later, Yang Yang cooperated with Maicon on the right and cut in horizontally, and then passed the ball to Sneijder, who passed the ball diagonally to Pinal, who was undefended on the left rib in the penalty area.
Facing such a god-given opportunity, the South African international will certainly not defend easily, and directly push the shot and hit it, four-to-one!
Van Gaal had a blue face and always stood in front of the visiting team coach's seat, obviously quite dissatisfied with the situation on the court.
After Ajax scored his fourth goal, Van Gaal finally couldn't help but make a substitution, and replaced two players in one breath.
Both substitutions quickly played a role in the game, especially Ramz, who came on the bench, assisted his teammates in the 86th minute and successfully changed the score to two-to-four.
But in this game, Alkmaar's defeat was decided.
Yang Yang himself was replaced in the 78th minute, and Ryan Babel replaced him.
In the end, Ajax defeated Alkmaar four-two at home with Yang Yang's double score.
However, because Eindhoven defeated Groningen 1-0 away with Falfan's goal, Ajax only counterattacked Alkmaar and ranked second in the league standings, helping Eindhoven to the top.
As for the last two rounds of winning streaks, Feyenoord, who was unstoppable, once again played a nerve-like performance and lost to Denbosch 1-4 away. In the first 17 minutes, Boschart was sent off with a red card, which directly led to Feyenoord's defeat.
Kuyt failed to score in this round, and the number of goals was still 22.
Yang Yang scored twice in this round and narrowed the distance with Kuyt again with twenty goals.
