Chapter 106 - Penalty kick
“Feyenoord’s players are very dissatisfied, they are chasing the referee to ask for a statement.”
“Obviously, they all think red cards are OK, but penalty kicks are a bit wrong.”
“Van Vandermun’s foul just now should be outside the penalty area. This should be a free kick, not a penalty kick.”
“But the head referee’s attitude is very firm, pointing at his own eyes means he sees clearly.”
“Indeed, he was chasing behind Yang Yang and Van Vendell just all the way. He can only say that Yang Yang is too fast.”
“We can take another look at the slow-motion playback. Yang Yang just left Van Hallen from the start, and the speed of Feyenoord’s left back is really not a strong point.”
“Sneijder’s over-the-head kick was very beautiful, and he worked very well with Yang Yang.”
“Yang Yang’s speed did not decrease after catching up with the ball. When facing Van Vendell, he also had an obvious sudden acceleration …”
“Looking at the foul this time again, Van Vendell pulled Yang Yang ’s jersey twice and was freed for the first time, but when he pulled it for the second time, Yang Yang had stepped into the penalty area. This is indeed a penalty, no any question.”
“The speed of Ajax’s right-winger is indeed fast, especially in the final stage of the game, and he can also impact the opponent’s defense line at such a speed, which does bring great pressure to the defensive players.”
“Red card plus penalty kick, Ajax got the opportunity to further expand the lead.”
“Look at who will take the penalty.”

…………
Looking at Van Vendren without hesitation, Van Malvik still greeted him, embracing the central defender and appeasing the emotions of the players. After all, in the situation just now, fouling was also a compelling choice.
If there is no foul, Yang Yang’s entry into the penalty area is a one-shot, and the goal is also stable.
After sending the players away, Van Malvik looked at the stadium with a depressed face and the Chinese kid talking and laughing with his teammates. His heart was very mixed.
He was originally full of confidence, but was unexpectedly disturbed by this kid.
Compared to Yang Yang, Van Malvik looks at his left winger Van Persie in the team. Compared with the two, his heart is even more similar.
During his coaching of Feyenoord, his relationship with Van Persie has been terrible, because Van Persie prefers to play center, but Van Malvik feels that he should play the left side and let the newly joined Kuyt serve as the center because The diligence and investment in the game can put more pressure on the opponent’s defense.
This led to a very rigid relationship between Van Malvik and Van Persie.
At this moment, looking at the brilliant Yang Yang, and then look at the van Persie on the court that seems to be completely inattentive to the victory and defeat, Van Malvik is inevitably unbalanced.

The stadium’s big screen is constantly playing back the slow footage of Van Vendell’s foul just now, the radio is also constantly cheering Yang Yang’s outstanding performance, and the Ajax fans in the stands have already waited for the carnival.
The red card plus penalty kicks have basically determined the victory of Ajax.
Even, from the moment Yang Yang just assisted Fermalen with a corner kick, Ajax had already won.
“Do you feel a distressed feeling now?” Van Gaal asked Van Prager with a smile.
Chairman Ajax smiled and shook his head bitterly, “I just want to say that your technical director is too negligent.”
Van Gaal froze, then laughed.
The team won the ball, and the two of them were in a good mood, but the trouble that followed was Yang Yang’s contract renewal.
As early as the winter training, Yang Yang ’s agent Andrew met with Twente ’s senior executives, and later mentioned Yang Yang in an interview with the media. Although Ajax promptly stopped public relations, Yang Yang also returned to the Netherlands as soon as possible. Dismissed his agent, but still can’t stand the hype of the outside media and the hot discussion of the fans.
After the winter break, Yang Yang’s performance was as good as ever, and even every game can clearly feel his progress, and the question of renewal has been placed in front of Ajax.
Not to mention others, even Van Gaal, who is very familiar with Yang Yang, was deeply shocked by Yang Yang’s progress.
too fast!
Not to mention the league. The final round of the UEFA Champions League group match played Bruges to help Ajax successfully advance to the knockout. This ball is worth more than 10 million euros. The Dutch Cup has helped the team to qualify for two consecutive rounds. Ajak Sri Lanka has become the biggest hotspot in the Dutch Cup. If you really win the cup, Yang Yang is the number one hero.
Just a few games, but brought a heavy transcript, anyone will find it incredible.
Van Gaal is well aware of Yang Yang’s situation. He still has very obvious weaknesses and deficiencies. For example, his stopping is not good enough. For example, his one-foot pass is not good enough. His scoring ability is weak in the winger …
But he just turned seventeen.
If he is twenty-seven, these weaknesses and deficiencies will indeed affect him, but for a seventeen-year-old player, these represent the potential to be tapped.
Van Gaal even felt unbelievable. With Yang Yang’s current progress and his investment in football, if he really made up for these shortcomings and shortcomings, what kind of player would he be?
“It’s still time to talk about the renewal of the contract, lest the outsiders be panicked,” Van Prager suggested.
“He hasn’t found a suitable agent yet.” Van Gaal smiled helplessly.
For his friend, Van Gaal is clear, thinking about playing football with one mind, nothing else.
If he finds a reliable agent, of course he can play football with peace of mind, but if unfortunately encounters an unreliable one, then he may really be abducted into the ditch.
Just like that Andrew, it was obviously a scam.
…………
…………
The head referee finally got Feyenoord’s players to let them all understand that this penalty cannot be changed.
Both parties gathered outside Feyenoord’s penalty area, waiting for the upcoming penalty kick.
Who will take the penalty for Ajax?
Captain Van der Vaart is a penalty shooter, and Ibrahimovic and Wesley Songk can also be competent …
When everyone guessed the ground on and off the court, Van der Vaart suddenly walked to Yang Yang, who was standing on the right side of the arc top area, and directly put the ball in his hand into Yang Yang ’s arms.
Yang Yang froze for a moment, he never took a penalty.
Not only him, but even the teammates around the four were a bit surprised, even if Ibrahimović was fined, but why is Yang Yang?
But soon, everyone was relieved. After all, this penalty opportunity was earned by Yang Yang by his personal ability. It has nothing to do with the overall situation of the game. Ajax wins regardless of whether it is entered or not.
“Raphael, I …” Yang Yang was very surprised.
“I believe you can, don’t be stressed, go.” Van der Vaart patted Yang Yang’s shoulder, encouraging.
The two are actually about the same age. Van der Vaart will be 21 years old in a few days, but he has become famous for many years and is the captain of Ajax. Naturally, Yang Yang is regarded as a younger brother of Jin.
Yang Yang looked at the ball in his arms, and then looked at the teammates around him. Each one nodded towards him, which made him feel helpless. He could only harden his scalp and walked straight to the penalty spot, gently putting the ball Placed on the white point, like a corner kick, after stepping on the turf, slowly back away.
Behind them, the players of both teams retreated outside the big penalty area, but everyone was ready to rush into the penalty area.
In front of Yang Yang, only Feyenoord ’s goalkeeper, and the seemingly spacious goal that actually made him feel narrow.
Especially when the goalkeeper opened his arms, Yang Yang actually felt a sense of incompetence, as if no matter which direction he shot, the ball would be thrown out.
At this moment, tens of thousands of fans inside and outside the stadium, countless spectators in front of the TV set, and everyone ’s eyes fell on themselves, which made it difficult for Yang Yang not to generate pressure, even if his reason kept telling him to punish It doesn’t matter if you throw a penalty.
He wants to win, he wants to take a penalty.
“Lao Bing, how do you kick this ball?”
The information and information given by the coaching staff before the game appeared in Yang Yang’s mind, including the goal-keeping habit of Feyenoord. Although there is no data on the penalty kick, it is still available for reference.
But he still had no idea.
“A penalty kick is a war between you and the goalkeeper. In the penalty area, there are only two of you. All you have to do is knock him out.”
At this time, Lao Bing could not give much advice. Even he could not tell Yang Yang which zone would be the best to score, because the data represents the past and has nothing to do with the main penalty this time.
Yang Yang also knew in his heart that no one could depend on himself at this time, but on himself.
Looking up directly at the goalkeeper on the opposite side, the other party is looking directly at him as well.
Face to face, the two are speculating on each other’s intentions.
The referee finally blew the whistle, Yang Yang suddenly flashed his mind, closed his eyes, and opened it again, he saw the goal and goalkeeper in front of him as the Almere city center, the skate park Block the graffiti wall, every pothole on the wall, he remembers it clearly, he will specially choose potholes or avoid potholes when practicing the ball.
It’s like this goal now, and this goalkeeper in front of it.
I saw that he took a light breath and calmed his mood. The whole person quickly jumped out, pausing deliberately halfway, and then suddenly a push from the instep of the foot kicked the ball towards the goal at a very fast speed.
Feyenoord’s goalkeeper was deceived by Yang Yang’s sudden pause and flew to the left, but Yang Yang’s penalty kick went straight to the middle.
As long as he stood still, Yang Yang’s ball flew directly into his arms, but now it is too regrettable.
After scoring a penalty, Yang Yang bit his lower lip hard, raised his fist with his hands above his head, and turned to accept the congratulations from all his teammates.
“Pushing directly into the middle of the instep, Yang Yang’s psychological quality is really very strong, and the artistic masters are bold.”
“It’s hard to convince people that he is a 17-year-old teenager. In the face of penalties, he chose this way.”
“After scoring, Yang Yang also looked very calm, but the entire Amsterdam Arena was in a carnival.”
“Three to one, Ajax has basically locked the victory.”
