Chapter 101 The Battle of Ajax Part One
In this game, Twente coach McLaren and Ajax coach Van Basten all set up a 433 formation, which indicates that this game will be a wonderful battle.

After seeing this formation, the fans are of course very happy, after all, no one likes to watch dull games.

At the beginning of the game, Ajax took the lead.

After the former captain Huntelaar moved to Real Madrid during the winter break, Thomas Vermaelen, who took over as Ajax captain in the second half of the season, made a long pass to No. 8 striker Emmanuel Sen on the right after a while.

The Ajax youth training player born in 86 has fast speed and excellent dribbling. As soon as he got the ball, he started to run fast in the Twente half.

When Emmanuel Sen dribbled the ball close to the bottom line, he made a cross to No. 16 Suarez in the middle, but it seemed to be interfered by Twente defender Douglas. The quality of the cross was very average.

But fortunately, Suarez's own strength is excellent, he insisted on getting the ball against the Twente defenders, and directly chose to volley after not taking two steps.

Although this shot was powerful and heavy, it was a pity that the flight path of the football was too straight, and it was punched directly by the Twente goalkeeper.

Ajax's No. 10 left winger Soleimani wanted to step forward to make a supplementary shot, but he failed to grab the landing point. In the end, the ball was cleared by the Twente defender and went out of the touchline.

Although Ajax's attack did not succeed at the beginning, the offensive that formed in an instant still made the Twente fans feel nervous, and also made the head coach McClaren look very dignified.

The game continued. Unlike the last game where Twente kept pressing PSV Eindhoven, Twente, who played away in this game, fell into a disadvantage at the beginning and was completely suppressed by Ajax in the half. Bombing.

In this way, at the 10 minutes of the first half, Twente finally couldn't hold it anymore after desperately resisting the 10 minutes.

In an attack by Ajax, Suarez used his personal ability to break through the defense and opened the scoring with a long shot, leading Twente 1-0.

Facing the powerlessness in the midfield and the backcourt, Yang Mo, who was in the frontcourt, was secretly anxious at this moment, but there was nothing he could do.

Because Ajax coach Van Basten, after watching the previous Twente game, found that whether Twente beat Marseille or PSV Eindhoven in the last game, the key to winning is Yang Mo.

So in this game, Ajax head coach Van Basten paid the utmost attention to Yang Mo and didn't want to give Yang Mo any chance.

At the beginning of the game, Van Basten arranged heavy troops to defend Yang Mo, and Yang Mo fell into the joint defense of the two players from the beginning.

One of them is Van der Weil, a rising defense star produced by Ajax youth training, and the other is Oleg Presas Renom, a veteran who just transferred to Ajax from Barcelona this season.

These two Van der Veer were young and vigorous, fast and aggressive, sticking to Yang Mo like a cowhide plaster, which annoyed him very much.

And the other Oleg Presas, although not as fast as Yang Mo, is tall and experienced as Barcelona's former main defender, and is even more difficult for Yang Mo than Van der Veer.

Van der Veer entangled him with his body, while Oleg Presas used his experience to supplement the defense at any time. He enjoyed the star defensive package for the first time in this game.

In Yang Mo's view, any one of these two people facing him alone is definitely not his opponent.

But Ajax coach Van Basten arranged for him two at a time, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, in launching an attack, it wasn't that he couldn't get rid of the two of them every time, but as long as he showed signs of breaking through, the two of them would shovel without hesitation, and they would keep him at all fouls.

So the first half of the game was coming to an end, but he hadn't been able to show his power. On the contrary, he was brought down countless times on the turf of the Rotterdam stadium.

He was a bit misfired at this point, and it also made Twente, who had begun to rely on him, stumbling on offense.

At this time, Yang Mo began to realize that when he faced this kind of star-level double-team defense, the various talents that he thought were enough, now seem to be somewhat insufficient.

This is the case in Eredivisie. If he faces teams with stronger defenses and fiercer fights such as Serie A and Premier League in the future, he will probably feel even more uncomfortable.

There is a saying that misfortunes never come singly. When the first half was about to end, Ajax scored again.

This time, Ajax relied on the continuous passing and receiving cooperation of the midfielders to penetrate the entire defense line of Twente, and finally relied on No. 10 left winger Soleimani to complete the final shot. .

Finally, when the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, watching the dazzling 2-0 on the big screen in the stadium, the Ajax fans cheered loudly, while the Twente fans looked down.

"The current situation is very unfavorable for Twente. Coach McClaren must make changes in the midfield. The offense of the entire team cannot be paralyzed because Yang Mo is surrounded by heavy troops."

"But what I have to say is that just from the importance attached to Yang Mo by Ajax coach Van Basten in the first half, it can be seen that the Chinese teenager Yang Mo has a great deterrent effect on Ajax. It also reflects that Yang Mo's strength has been recognized by famous stars like Van Basten."

For domestic commentator Lou Yichen, it doesn't matter that Twente is behind, as long as Yang Mo performs well, because he understands what the audience is watching this game for.

Even if Yang Mo didn't perform, it still doesn't matter. The famous star Van Basten, as a coach, has to defend Yang Mo with heavy troops, which proves Yang Mo's strength.

But on this point, Lou Yichen didn't talk nonsense. Anyway, domestic fans also think so. After all, in the eyes of fans, a star who is not valued by the opponent is not a star.

At the same time, Gao Hongbo, who had watched the first half of the game in the stands, was not disappointed with Yang Mo's performance, but even more recognized.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary fans, Yang Mo seemed a little mediocre in the first half under the heavy double-team, without any outstanding performance.

But in the eyes of a professional coach like Gao Hongbo, Yang Mo attracted two of Ajax's main defenders with just one person, which directly caused the emptiness of Ajax's defense line and created an opportunity for Twente's offense in other positions. very good condition.

In the first half, if Twente hadn't been too obsessed with Yang Mo's offense and tried other attacks, or other Twente frontcourt players could seize the opportunity, maybe the score might not be like this.

Moreover, Gao Hongbo also keenly discovered that even if Yang Mo faced oppressive double-team defense, he could hold the ball very well after receiving the ball, and he could also control the ball to launch an attack.

The two players of Ajax, no matter their physical fitness or personal skills, are actually unable to defend against Yang Mo based on their strength.

The reason why they were able to restrain Yang Mo was firstly because of the large number of people, and secondly because once Yang Mo showed signs of breaking through, they would not hesitate to destroy Yang Mo's offense at the cost of fouls.

In the first half, in order to defend Yang Mo, Oleg Pressas and Van der Veer had been warned by the referee several times, and they all received a yellow card.

In good conscience, if it weren't for Ajax's home game, Van der Wiel's fierce defense against Yang Mo in the first half would have been sent off by a red card long ago.
