Chapter 1527 He Won!

When the referee Ivan Kruzliak from Slovakia blew the whistle for the end of the game, Yang Yang turned around laughing, stretched out his right hand vigorously, gave Harvey Alonso a high-five, and hugged lost his best friend.

Four to zero!

Even in the final stages of the game, Standard Liege failed to take advantage of Ajax.

This is a complete victory, an outright complete victory!

The Ajax players on the field were also very excited. After the whistle sounded, they all cheered on the field.

Four to zero, with a total score of six to two, they advanced to the play-offs of the Champions League with a big advantage.

Only one step away from the Champions League group stage!

You know, this is the tireless pursuit of Ajax in the past few years.

In the current Ajax team, except for Ashraf, no one has even played in the Champions League group stage. Their Champions League experience can be described as poor and blank.

But as professional players, the desire for the Champions League flows in the blood of each of them.

...

After Yang Yang let go of Harvey Alonso, he smiled from ear to ear.

But soon, he suppressed his smile again, and clicked twice, "It's still not good enough, too many opportunities have been missed."

Seeing his embarrassed face, Harvey Alonso was so angry that he punched him directly, and then laughed again.

It's really not easy!

Especially for such a young team, it is really not easy to get a total score of 6-2 from Standard Liege.

"What we gained tonight is not only a victory, not only the right to promotion, but also confidence, the confidence of the players themselves, the confidence of our coaching staff in the team's skills and tactics, which is more precious than a victory."

Yang Yang's words made the surrounding coaching staff deeply agree.

Who said no?

What is the hardest thing about being a head coach?

In addition to instilling players with their own tactical concepts, the most important thing is to make players believe in his tactics and be willing to implement them unconditionally. This requires not only the prestige of the head coach, but also achievements.

Without good enough results, what can be used to convince the players?

Professional football is very realistic, professional players are also very realistic!

…………

In the stands of the Cruyff Stadium, Van Gaal, Van der Sar, Overmars, Bergkamp and others were all overwhelmed with admiration after watching the game. .

The reason is very simple, the changes brought about by Yang Yang are so great that they can't believe it.

When Yang Yang said that he didn't plan to play in the second round, many people wondered if he was taking a risk.

But looking at it now, Yang Yang is really confident in this team, and the team has lived up to his trust.

"I now believe that he is a genius." Bergkamp admired.

He was the assistant coach of Pete Boss, Kaiser and Reziger before. Reziger returned to the second team this season. Bergkamp accepted Yang Yang's invitation and continued to stay in the technical team, but he no longer served as the first team Team Assistant Coach.

Seeing this group of young players on the court, Bergkamp really had mixed feelings.

Compared with last season, the players have basically not changed much, but a lot has been lost.

Ziyech went to Chelsea, Cruyff Jr. went to Rome, Vobel went to Sevilla, Ajax lost two generals and an important rotation player in one summer, and the introduction of Militao is a replacement Wobel and Erdegaard are only coming off the bench tonight, and Ashraf is a relatively strong supplement.

But such an Ajax team, which is basically the same as before, and even weaker than Peter Boss's overall strength, can play such football, and can also face the standard team at their own home court. A team like Japan won a 4-0 victory.

More importantly, in the 90 minutes of the entire game, Ajax completely controlled the situation and took the advantage.

Peter Boss couldn't do it, Keizer couldn't do it, Rezig wanted to do it but didn't know how to do it, all these things were done in Yang Yang's hands, and he did it in a very short period of time arrive.

It was only at this moment that Bergkamp understood why everyone, including Ferguson, thought that Yang Yang would be a genius head coach, because he really is a genius.

Today's Ajax team still has many, many problems, such as not being efficient enough to seize opportunities, such as the overall stability is not enough, such as players are still prone to frizz and anxiety...

But these can be changed slowly, but the most fundamental temperament and philosophy of a team have undergone earth-shaking changes in the hands of Yang Yang.

He made Ajax complete the transformation!

More importantly, after the transformation, he has accurately positioned each player, allowing them to see their own development direction, and at the same time realize their tactical positioning and value in the team.

It is foreseeable that this team will develop rapidly, and the players will improve rapidly.

...

"He said he would lead the team to the group stage." Van Gaal laughed.

He has always believed in Yang Yang, before, now, and in the future.

"I was a little worried before, but now, I believe." Van der Sar laughed.

This is the closest he has seen Ajax to the Champions League group stage in recent years.

Reaching the group stage, Ajax's performance will usher in a breakthrough, and the team's financial pressure will also be greatly reduced. More importantly, the team will win an opportunity to lay a good foundation for the future.

"I'm beginning to believe what Yang Yang said before. As long as the team's current performance reaches the Champions League group stage, as long as the draw is not too bad, it is not impossible to grab the second place in the group and qualify from the group stage." Overmar Si's ambition is bigger.

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

A big victory makes people happy, but more importantly, the transformation that Yang Yang brought to this Ajax team reflected behind this big victory makes people look forward to this young team. The team is full of expectations.

Where can he go?

…………

…………

Yang Yang finally went to the visiting team's coaching bench.

He won!

And it was a clean four to zero!

He doesn't have to come, just like he didn't come to the visiting team's coaching bench before the game, because he was suspended as the head coach, and he came to the game as a substitute player for very good reasons.

But he came anyway.

Prudholm stood up awkwardly and shook hands with Yang Yang, his expression was very unnatural.

If he had saved his face in the first round of the match between the two sides, then he would have completely lost tonight's battle.

Not only the team's skills and tactics, but also the strength of the players.

Ajax is a team with an average age of less than 20 years old, but under Yang Yang's tactical framework, they played so well, which is really impressive.

The two were relatively speechless, after all, they were not friends, and they even had some knots in their hearts.

But when Yang Yang turned and left, Prudholm finally couldn't help explaining, "Believe it or not, it wasn't my idea. I lost both rounds convincingly."

After hearing this, Yang Yang turned his head, nodded and smiled at Prudholm, and said, "I believe it!"

The Belgian felt relieved as if a big stone had been removed from his chest, and he also laughed.

…………

With 2-2 in the first leg and 4-0 in the second leg, Ajax beat Standard Liege 6-2 on aggregate and advanced to the play-offs.

Such a result embarrassed many media reporters who were pessimistic about Yang Yang and Ajax before the game, because they did not expect that Ajax not only won, but also won so heartily.

Four to zero, really didn't even give Standard Liege a chance.

When did Ajax become so strong?

Coupled with the previous 3-0 victory over Hercules in the first round of the Eredivisie, scoring seven goals in two games and not conceding a goal, this performance is not bad.

What kind of magic did Yang Yang cast on this team?

The domestic media in the Netherlands are very excited, because they saw a completely different Ajax from the past few years, not only younger, but also with higher and more advanced technical and tactical levels, especially the offensive and defensive system on the court , are obviously more rigorous, and it doesn't look like a Eredivisie team in any way.

You know, the Netherlands is famous for its water.

Bild, Times, Sun, Gazzetta dello Sport, L'Equipe and other authoritative media all over the world have reported the results of Ajax's match. Obviously, they were surprised that Yang Yang led the team to beat Standard Liege. At the same time, many professionals They were all very curious about what was reflected during the game.

Alfredo, editor-in-chief of AS News, analyzed in the column, "In the first half of the first round and the whole game of the second round, it can be clearly seen that Yang Yang is instilling his understanding and thinking about football tactics into this game. on Ajax."

"He's practicing his own ideas, trying ideas that he hasn't had the opportunity to try in the past, which makes us all very curious, what kind of team will he bring out?"

But Alfredo also expressed disappointment, because Yang Yang's attempt is very valuable, but unfortunately, Ajax's overall strength is too weak and too young, "Maybe, this team can break into the Champions League group stage." , but from the current point of view, they do not yet have the strength of the knockout round."

"Maybe, after Yang Yang has been trained by Ajax, he should try to go to a higher platform to continue to improve his ideas and ideas, which will be very helpful to his future coaching career."

Alfredo's judgment is also in line with outside speculation. Basically everyone believes that Ajax has a high possibility of reaching the group stage, but if they want to stand out in the group stage, unless they draw a top team sign.

But how is this possible?

Based on UEFA's current arrangement of the UEFA Champions League group stage, basically there will be no situation where many weak teams gather in the same group, because the defending champion and the league champions of various countries are automatically listed as seeded teams, plus The top team in the European Championship.

Therefore, in the current European football, not to mention the declining Eredivisie teams, even the Portuguese Super League, or even the middle and upper reaches of the Ligue 1 and the four major leagues, it is very difficult to stand out from the group stage. .

Not to mention the average age of this team is less than twenty years old, Ajax has long been absent from the Champions League group stage for many years.
