"I watched this game and it was great."
After Ajax defeated Heerenveen [-]-[-] in an away game and played the most hearty offensive football of the season, after the team returned to Amsterdam, Van Gaal, van der Sar and others had a remote video conference with Yang Yang in the conference room.
At this time, Yang Yang had just watched the live broadcast of the team's game at home, and he was very satisfied with Ajax's performance.
"That's because you hit the nail on the head. After you made this adjustment, the team's offense immediately came to life." Van Gaal grinned from ear to ear.
"Yeah, we were also very surprised to see it at the scene. The team's offense was too active in this game. Compared with the previous rounds, I couldn't believe it." Van der Sar was also amazed.
Bergkamp also kept nodding, he was also very satisfied with the team's performance in this game, and it was Yang Yang who really revived the team and stimulated the team's offensive improvement.
Many people outside thought that the team's revival was due to the news that Yang Yang would return to Ajax, but those familiar with European professional football would definitely not believe it, because there was no such reason.
Yang Yang's return saved the team's morale, but if Ajax continued to play in the first few games of the season, there would not be much improvement at all, and the away game against Heerenveen is still more ominous.
It was Yang Yang's proposal that brought about Ajax's big victory.
Before, Ajax had a lot of problems. The attack was weak, the defense was weak, and the midfield was unstable. It can be said that there were problems everywhere, which gave people the impression of a mess full of holes.
But Yang Yang quickly put forward a few suggestions.
First of all, Frankie de Jong has always been hovering between the central defender and the midfielder. After entering the first team, he has always been a substitute for the left central defender. Yang Yang feels that this is a waste of his passing and running ability, and Frankie de Jong's midfield interception ability is very strong.
Ziyech has many advantages, but his shortcomings are also quite obvious, that is, lack of stability. Once he is closely pressed by the opponent, he is prone to mistakes. He was partnered with Klaassen before.
Once under the strict marking of the opponent, Ajax's midfielder is easy to lose the ball, and once the ball is lost, it is a counterattack, which further causes Ajax's defense line to be unstable.
There is also Kluivert Jr. in the frontcourt. This player is still very young. He is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf. This is originally a good thing, but Kluivert Jr. is a bit independent.
As a result, Ajax's offensive weakness in the first few rounds showed an obvious phenomenon, that is, it was difficult to create a threat when the ball reached the frontcourt, and other players such as Jovic and Neres played awkwardly.
In response to the differences between these three players, Yang Yang proposed to win Kluivert Jr.
Yang Yang believes that Kluivert Jr. is still too young, and his father is a well-known Ajax player, so he still has some spirits. The game training is really important, but it will be of great benefit to him in the future to press it properly and polish his character.
After taking down Kluivert Jr., Ziyech pushed forward and served as the right winger in the frontcourt, giving full play to his speed and technical advantages. At the same time, he also reduced the danger after he lost the ball, and he was able to hold the ball in the frontcourt and pass the ball. The wings of him and Neres can revitalize Ajax's frontcourt.
After Ziyech moved forward, Frankie De Jong appeared in the left midfield position. His passing is very advantageous, especially his long pass, which is very explosive and has excellent interception and stealing ability. More importantly, he can also play as a defender at the same time.
After this adjustment, Ajax's entire left side qualified for the combination of Brazilian left backs Jorge, Frankie de Jong and Neres, center Jovic was in charge, Van der Beek and Ndombele both had strong post-up abilities.
So there was this scene where Ajax challenged Heerenveen in an away game. Ajax's left side completely overwhelmed Heerenveen's right side. All four goals were initiated from the left side. Jorge, Frankie de Jong and Neres played Ajax's most hearty offensive this season.
Jovic's characteristics as a center forward were also brought into play. He assisted Neres to score twice, and Ndombele also scored a goal. The corner kick that caused the teenager De Ligt to score also came from the left.
In addition, Van der Beek also made two very threatening attacks from the back, one hit the crossbar, and the other was rescued by the opponent in front of the goal. Otherwise, this would have been a six-to-zero massacre.
……
"Now is not the time to rest assured. There are many young players in the team. Van der Beek, De Jong and Ndombele are still relatively young. Schone will be a good supplement when necessary, but young players should also pay attention to instability."
Although it was his own idea that caused the earth-shaking changes in Ajax, Yang Yang did not dare to be careless at all.
A season is too long, who knows the next game, or what the team will look like next?
"Don't worry, we will pay close attention to it. I believe that after this game, these boys should know how to play football, especially our left wing. If it can be stabilized, then I can guarantee that this season's results will not be too bad." Van Gaal said confidently.
If this left wing can continue this state and play for a full season, then Ajax is still very promising.
"The technical team should also let the scouts pay close attention to two positions, the right back and the center back." Yang Yang urged.
In his vision, it is not enough to just take off from the left, and the right should also be revived, but the problem is that Ajax lacks a full-back with strong assists like Jorge on the right, and Feltman and Dumfries are not this type of full-back.
If there is also a right back, and the two wings fly together, Yang Yang guarantees that Ajax's offensive firepower will be stronger than it is now, and even directly improve by leaps and bounds.
Of course, there are also central defenders. Davidson Sanchez's departure from the team will still deal a big blow to Ajax.
But no one is indispensable in this world. Yang Yang believes that as long as Ajax looks for it, they will definitely be able to find a suitable central defender who can replace Davidson Sanchez.
"By the way, we found a Real Madrid scout in the stands today." Overmars asked a little strangely.
Yang Yang was not surprised, "I went to investigate Erdegaard."
"Oh, this will disappoint Real Madrid." Overmars laughed.
Erdegaard was once a famous talented boy in Europe. After joining Real Madrid, he once appeared in the first team, but he followed the youth team for a long time to play and train. He was loaned to Heerenveen this summer, but judging from his current performance, he is lacklustre.
"Speaking of which, we strongly invited this player back then, but he chose to go to Real Madrid. Now his development speed has slowed down obviously. It's a pity. If he had come to our Ajax back then, he would definitely be the main player now." Van der Sar said regretfully.
Yang Yang shook his head, "He's not suitable for playing as a winger, but the head coach of Heerenveen doesn't seem to think so."
Odegaard always played right winger in Heerenveen, but this did not give full play to his advantages, but exposed his shortcomings, and facing Ajax tonight, Heerenveen's right was kicked by Ajax's left, so Odegaard naturally did not want to get a good evaluation.
"Don't worry, I will let the scouts pay close attention to the candidates for the central defender and right back. As soon as there is a suitable one, I will tell you as soon as possible." Van Gaal is now the technical director, and he is responsible for the signings and the scouting system.
Yang Yang nodded, there is actually not much he can do.
Keizer has lost the trust of the management, and even the players have a lot of opinions on him, especially this time, after Yang Yang intervenes, Keizer's position in the team will be even more embarrassing.
But there is no way, he can't lead the team well and can't find a solution to the problem, so he can only accept this result.
…………
…………
After the [-]-[-] away victory over Heerenveen, there are still many people who think that Ajax's performance is just a flash in the pan.
But soon, this Eredivisie team showed surprising strength.
In the eighth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax once again played a hearty offensive at home. They beat Sparta Rotterdam [-]-[-].
Just when everyone was surprised by Ajax's two consecutive rounds of victory, in the ninth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged the defending champion Feyenoord away.
In the end, Ajax defeated Feyenoord [-]-[-] away and ushered in a three-game winning streak.
In the tenth round, Ajax challenged Willem II in an away game. After conceding a goal first, Ndombele, De Jong and Neres each scored a goal, helping the team reverse the opponent [-]-[-] and win four consecutive victories.
Then the No. 11 round lost to Utrecht 12-[-] at home, but in the following No. [-] round, the team beat Breda [-]-[-] away, and then beat Rhoda JC [-]-[-] at home.
Seven games, six wins and one loss. The key is that Ajax scored a total of [-] goals and only conceded three goals. Compared with the first six rounds of the league, this report card is simply a world of difference, especially on the scene.
Everyone began to believe that Ajax is ushering in a strong recovery.
Gradually, the Dutch media also began to expose some inside stories, and more and more people began to realize that behind the strong recovery of Ajax in the recent period, it turned out that Yang Yang, who was thousands of miles away in Madrid, was behind the strategizing.
