Chapter 80: Defeated

On the evening of November 26, Amsterdam Arena.
In the fifth round of Group h of the Champions League group match, Ajax faced AC Milan.
Since Milan lost to Vigo Celta two to three at the Valledos stadium in Spain at the beginning of the month, AC Milan beat Bruges 1-0 away, which caused a reversal in the ranking of the group h group. AC Milan won two and one level. One loss record ranked first, Ajax ranked second with two wins and two losses, Vigo Celta ranked third with one win, two draws and one loss, and Bruges ranked fourth.
But in fact, the points of these four teams are all very close, everyone can qualify, and everyone can be eliminated.
The fifth round of the game is undoubtedly the key.
For this game, AC Milan hid five main players such as Kaka, Seedorf and Kafu in last week's Serie A league. With the return of Maldini, the Red and Black Army is clearly determined to win.
Ajax continued to suffer from the wounded soldiers, Trabelsi on the right side was still "missing due to injury", and players such as Songk relapsed from the old injury, making the team's lineup seriously inadequate, Mithia was arranged to the left , O'Brien assumes the right back position.
After the sluggish performance of Vigo Celta in the last game, Yakubu blocked Coman for two games, but this time he won again and served as the team's right-winger. It can be seen that Coman is currently on hand. The right side of trust.
But when the leak happened in the rain, Ajax was not alone.
The game only took 28 minutes. Ibrahimovic injured his right ankle in a shot. Afterwards, although he was struggling to support, he still failed to stick to the end. He was forced to replace it in the 40th minute. Veteran Litmanen came off the bench.
Losing Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart in two consecutive games, Ajax's strength was greatly reduced.
…………

When the game reached the fifty-second minute, AC Milan's right star Cafu broke the ball and broke through, and completed a beautiful two-on-one match with Inzaghi and started to pass. Ajax defender O'Brien came to the top. Shevchenko dunked the ball and got rid of the back Yakub. He calmly volleyed his left foot and sent the ball into the lower right corner.
One to zero!
There was a sigh of loss throughout the Amsterdam Arena.
Yang Yang and Fermalen and the players of the second team are all sitting in the stands, witnessing the whole process of ac Milan's goal, only feeling in my heart, because this time assist is the 33-year-old Cafu, he attacked Most of the stadium.
And this goal was scored by the world's top striker Shevchenko, and this year's top candidate for European football and world football.
At a critical moment, ac Milan's stars played a key role.
"This is the real superstar." Van Basten said without hesitation.
His career debuted in Ajax, but he gave AC Milan at the peak, so he has a deep affection for both teams, but at this moment he does not know which ball he should support. team.
Especially the goalkeeper Shevchenko, many people say that he has surpassed Van Basten.
Ac Milan quickly made a comeback, Cafu was very active on the right, and Ajax did not have Ibrahimovic's deterrence in the frontcourt. Ac Milan's pressure was very light, and the defense line dared to press on. There is a great potential for siege.
"Their experience is too rich, Maldini, Costa Kuta, Cafu, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Inzaghi ... all are top European celebrities, even the youngest Kaka. All games are impressive, and our average age is only 22 years old, and we lack experience. It is really ... "
Van Basten said here, another long sigh of mixed flavors.
As a witness to the peak period of Ajax in the past, and then to see the young guards today, the difference is really difficult for outsiders to understand and understand.
Yang Yang, who was sitting on the side, could only feel his pessimism about the game at most.
In the face of a team with such a solid defense, it is basically difficult to recover a goal, especially to prevent the counterattack.
In the first half of the first half, during the Ajax attack, Kaka's sharp counterattack impressed everyone, and Ancelotti arranged him to fight back.
Yang Yang was watching Kaka for the first time on the spot, but he was deeply shocked, especially the speed at the time of counterattack.
It should be said that Kaka emerged from the European football this year, the most amazing new star, from his body, Yang Yang also clearly sees his shortcomings and gaps.
…………
…………
Facts have proved that Van Basten's hunch is correct.
The game ended in a zero-to-one match. Ajax lost at home and ushered in a two-game losing streak in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
More importantly, from a technical point of view, Ajax only had two shots in the penalty area before Ibrahimovic's end. After that, Ajax completely lost the offense. Threat.
Ac Milan's goalkeeper Dida didn't even make a one-on-one save. It shows that Ajax's attack is not threatening at all. Even if he launched a counterattack in the final stage of the game, he still failed. Break into the restricted area.
Zero to one, the score is not big, but Ajax is defeated.
In another game of the group, Vigo Celta drew Bruges at home one by one, which simply pushed Ajax into a desperate situation, making the Dutch giants retreat.
After the five rounds, AC Milan ranked first in the group with ten points, and qualified ahead of the group. Ajax and Vigo Celta were both six points, Bruges was five points and three goals. The team bite each other tightly.
Vigo Celta's final round was against AC Milan, who had no desire to play, and Ajax was going to challenge Bruges away. This will be the two focus battles that determine life and death.
But the problem is that the defending Champions League champion will play in the Toyota Cup that weekend in the Champions League group stage, which is destined for the Red and Black Corps to be basically impossible to play Vigo Celta with the main lineup.
Therefore, Ajax challenged Bruges in the sixth round away basically without any retreat, only to win.
But Bruges also said that through the first five hard battles, although everyone was ranked in the fourth gear, it was by no means a team of fish, especially in their home court, they definitely have the ability to defeat all the enemy.
The embarrassment caused by the Champions League two-game losing streak quickly caused the Dutch domestic media to turn their guns, unanimously criticizing Ajax's poor performance, and questioning Koman's platoon formation, especially Yakub The use has become the focus of everyone's shelling, because Ghana players have made extremely serious mistakes in both games.
Many media even believe that if Ajax is out of the Champions League group stage, Coman should blame and resign.
In the eyes of most people, although Ajax sold Qi Wu and VanderMead in the summer, they also introduced Escud and Wesley Songk. The French central defender is the current team's back defense. At the core, the Belgian shooter is also the team's top scorer in the Champions League. Although the five games have not played the main force, they still dedicated three goals.
On the contrary, it was Koman. Whether it was platoon formation or on-the-spot command, there were frequent problems.
Unknown fans are also dissatisfied with the team's performance. Even after Ajax returned to the Dutch League, they quickly killed Feyenoord 2-0 at home, but they still couldn't calm down the fans. Anger.
The quarter-finals of the Champions League last season let everyone see the hope of Ajax's revival, and the whole club looked forward to it, especially the return of legendary coach Van Gaal, which made everyone have high hopes. But the result?
Once the Champions League group stage is out, there must be someone with enough weight to take on this responsibility.
Head coach Ronald Coleman, technical director Van Gaal, and even chairman Van Prager, who has long been blamed by fans for years.
Outside media and fans are fierce, and the team is also not calm.
The news of Trabelsi's departure is intensifying, and even Premier League upstarts Chelsea, Juventus and Rome have joined the battle, which makes the momentum of Ajax's right back to leave the team more and more obvious.
Under internal and external troubles, the entire Detok Most was once again plunged into a repressed haze.
Even the always relaxed Ajax II team ushered in the first defeat of the Youth League, but Yang Yang's performance is still very good, and after meeting Kaka, Shevchenko and other outstanding world-class stars Later, Yang Yang worked harder, whether it was training, special training, or additional training.
…………
…………
Bang ... Bang ... Bang ... Bang ...
With a certain rhythm, the ball flew out of Yang Yang's right foot again and again, hit the wall, and rebounded randomly.
Yang Yang moved sideways at a distance of 20 meters from the wall, facing the ball, or his left or right foot, and sent the ball back to the wall again and again, waiting for the next rebound.
Despite deliberate training, Yang Yang's left foot is still not flexible enough. Some simple movements can be competent, but it can't be more complicated, but Yang Yang is also determined to practice his left foot.
Time passed unconsciously, Yang Yang was already sweating, but there was still no sign of stopping.
He is seventeen years old, and from all signs, he is not so far away from the first team.
Just after the team lost to AC Milan at home, his best friend Fairmaren received a transfer order from the first team and formally entered the first team, which made Yang Yang envious, but also felt a trace of pressure.
Ibrahimovic and Maxwell's words are still in the ears, Fairmaren went in, what about himself?
When the opportunity of the first team appears in front of you, can you catch it?
This filled Yang Yang with a sense of crisis, and also made him work harder in training, special training, and intensive training.
It wasn't until the night fell that Yang Yang stopped breathlessly.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly discovered that there was a person sitting in the corner not far behind him.
The slightly obese Dutch middle-aged man held a bottle of water in one hand. After seeing Yang Yang stop training, he shook the water in his hand and handed him over to Yang Yang.
