Chapter 41 - We haven\\\'t finished this!
As the most dazzling star in the Ajax youth camp, Ryan Babel is in a bad mood at this time.
He thought Almere was a soft persimmon, but he didn’t expect it to be a hard stubble.
John Rep still has a four, three, and three formation in this game, but the only player who is actually ahead is the right-winger Yang Yang. The other players have organized three strict defenses and are stationed in the 30-meter area of their own half.
This caused Ajax’s attack to be very hindered.
As the team’s number one star, Ryan Babel is closely guarded by the opponent, and it is difficult to perform. This makes him secretly anxious, and his eyes sweep from time to time to the humble chairman’s stand.
Luther Carroll, the first assistant coach of the first team, and Marco Van Basten, the head coach of the youth team, are both sitting there. Both of these are the characters who can determine his next career development. Babel naturally hopes Can have a good performance in front of them, and strive to enter the first team in the new season.
But unexpectedly, Almere’s defense is very meticulous, which looks like a team under the age of eighteen?
As a frontcourt center, Babel was closely guarded by Almere, it was difficult to get the ball, and it was more difficult to play his own speed and technical advantages. It was difficult to penetrate his opponent’s defense line when he saw his own pass. He decisively chose Labian.
In the youth team, Van Basten once encouraged him, “Continue to work hard, you can become the next Thierry Henry.”
This sentence has always inspired Babel, so as a right footer, he prefers to move on the left.
This is the area where Henry is best at.
Ajax players cooperated with each other, Babel pulled aside, others suddenly understood it, slowed the offensive appropriately, gave Almere a breathing opportunity, but in fact was brewing the next wave of offense .
Sure enough, after a few minutes, Babel, who was on the side, caught Almere ’s slack opportunity to cut into the penalty area from the left and got a very threatening chance to score from the kick, but unfortunately, he did not kick the right position. Missed scoring opportunities.
The time is the thirteenth minute of the first half.
After successfully creating a killer, Ajax’s morale was stronger and stronger, and soon a wave of offensive was launched.
The strength gap between the two sides is very different, and Almere is in front of the goal, the line of defense is crumbling.
…………
…………
Yang Yang waited for the pass of his midfield and backcourt teammates, but he found it difficult.
At least, it’s harder than what coach John Rep thought before the game.
Ajax is clearly holding back this game, want to kill Almere on the road, coupled with the disparity between the strength of the two teams, it is difficult for Almere to get a chance.
He wanted to help the team, but Ajax did not give him such a chance.
Thomas Fairmaren and Urby Emmanuelson always cruising around him, plus the team is basically defending in the back and midfield, it is difficult for Yang Yang to get the ball, and naturally he cannot help team.
“You have to do something.” Yang Yang muttered to himself.
He felt he couldn’t wait any longer.
So he chose to return to defense.
…………
…………
“The strength gap between the two teams is too great.”
Seeing Yang Yang start to return to his own half defense, John Rep shook his head helplessly and sighed.
The disparity in overall strength leaves Almere with no way at all, but can only defend or even defend.
The situation on the field is worse than the pre-match assessment. Obviously, the arrival of Van Basten and Luther Carroll and others greatly stimulated the fighting spirit and investment of the players in Ajax. This is John Ray Unpredictable before the general game.
“What now?” Dick Van Purr asked worriedly.
John Rep shook his head helplessly.
At this point in the game, as the team’s head coach, he can really do very little, and can only rely on the players on the court to play.
The team can reach the sixth round, be able to eliminate teams such as Volendam, and challenge Ajax head-on. In any case, it can be said that despite the defeat, it is hoped that this game will not lose too embarrassingly.
…………
…………
Another attack was blocked by Ajax, but the ball quickly returned to Almere’s 30m area, Maduro took the ball in the middle.
Ajax’s trident in the frontcourt of this game was Feidi Elmas, Ryan Babel and Tom DeMur, while the midfielder Maduro was flanked by Abolach Amrabat.
After Sneijder and De Jong were transferred to the first team, this is already the main lineup configuration of the Ajax youth team.
In the face of the youth team of the third-level team Almere, Ajax is full of confidence. Even if the opening fails to win the opponent, most players are not anxious, and they still firmly suppress the opponent and patiently. Waiting for an opportunity.
But everyone is eager to use their performance to persuade the two people in the chairman’s stand.
Maduro himself is no exception.
As the team’s central midfielder, after receiving the ball, he quickly raised his right hand to signal his teammates to stabilize and calmly control the rhythm, but after passing the ball to Amrabat, he took a peek at the chance , Immediately move forward and raise your hand again to get the ball.
The ball quickly returned to Maduro’s feet, but he didn’t stop the ball. He made a diagonal pass and divided the ball to the left of the penalty area. Babel, who played the center, pulled to the side again and grabbed Almere Before the player stopped the ball to Feidi Elmas and reached his finger inside.
Elmas grasped the ball and passed the ball to the left of the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area. Babel, who was originally on the left side, also started suddenly, just like a sturdy cheetah, he quickly threw away the defensive player. Quickly chased the ball.
From Maduro’s side-by-side pass to Babel’s stoppage and then back-to-back crossover to Elmas’s cross, the entire process was a skillful and smooth pass, and the Ajax players exemplified an outstanding individual Ability, again shows the youth training concept of Ajax.
When everyone saw Babel throw away the defensive player and rush towards the ball, countless fans exclaimed.
The frontier area of the penalty area is now unmanned!
This Ajax genius star was hailed by Van Basten as the second Henry. As a right footer, he allowed him to get the ball to the left of the arc top of the penalty area. What a dangerous thing?
But all of this happened in the blink of an eye, and when Almere’s players reacted and wanted to catch up, it was too late.
The nearest Nick just about to get rid of Elmas, turned back and chased, but felt a figure passing by quickly, chasing the ball diagonally away, the speed was faster than the pre-planned Babel .
Babel counted the beats intently, adjusted his pace, stared at Almere ’s goalkeeper with both eyes, came to the ball, stood with his left foot, and lifted his right foot, feeling unprecedentedly good, he knew that as long as this foot Shooting out, 10 out of 9 steady.
I must score this goal!
But at the moment when he was full of enthusiasm and the winning ticket was in hand, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but when he didn’t react, he saw someone unexpectedly stepping in and jumped out from the side. He took the first step and punched the ball with his foot.
At a critical moment, he was destroyed at the door.
Babel, angrily, did not close his feet in anger, kicking the shot firmly on the calf of the opponent.
Yang Yang, who had just run back and defended from a long distance, fell to the ground and had not had time to rejoice for his crucial relief. He suffered such a kick on his calf. A burst of pain came and immediately screamed.
The nearby Genk Dimer and Nick were all angry, all rushed towards Babel, and the Ajax players immediately rushed forward to protect their teammates.
The referee whistled at the right time, first walked over to look at Yang Yang’s situation and determined that it was only his calf that was kicked. After that, he got up and walked towards Babel and reached into his chest pocket.
Yellow card!
Not only that, the head referee severely warned Babel that he should calm his temper, otherwise, he would not mind giving him another one.
The rookie Ajax glared at Almere, not looking at Yang Yang, who was still lying on the ground, and turned and walked away.
Instead, several players like Ajax, such as Thomas Fairmaren and Maduro, gathered around him and cared about Yang Yang’s injury. After he stood up from the ground, all the talents dispersed and started preparing for the game again.
…………
…………
“If he doesn’t change his character, he will hurt him sooner or later.”
In the chairman’s stand, Van Basten saw Ryan Babel kicking on Yang Yang’s calf and was yellow-carded by the referee. He turned his head angrily and walked away. After showing no manners, he shook his head and sighed.
It’s a small move to kick the defensive player without closing the foot. It is very common in professional games. Even if you get a yellow card, no one will blame Babel, but after kicking the man, he did not take the initiative to pull up the opponent, which proves He was really angry and angry, this is the most terrible.
Van Basten is really very optimistic about this player. He needs speed and speed, technology and technique. His size and height are very good. As long as he strives to maintain progress and believes that there will be great development in the future, he will use Henry to motivate him.
But Babel’s biggest problem is his character, even in the Ajax team, he seems very out of line.
In the youth team, I still do n’t think it ’s crucial to get into the first team and integrate with teammates in the locker room.
On the other hand, Yang Yang, after a kick, his teammates took the initiative to take the lead for him, and many Ajax players including Fairmaren, Emmanuelson and Maduro also stepped forward to care about him, he It didn’t seem to be angry with others at all, and in turn thanked several Ajax players for their care.
All of these are mature performances, compared to Babel.
“This Yang Yang is really a surprise. He took the initiative to return from the frontcourt to the frontier of the restricted area. At the critical moment, he dared to take the risk of being kicked to make a critical clearance. This is not easy.” Luther Carroll looked more and more like.
Ronald Coman’s preference for players is very similar to Van Gaal, who likes strong tactical execution. As the first assistant coach of the first team, Luther Carroll naturally knows this.
Instead, Tony Browns Slotz looked at Yang Yang, who bent over and massaged the calf of his right foot in the stadium, and said without hesitation: “I hope it is better not to be injured.”
But on the court, Yang Yang massaged his calf while looking up at the opponent in front of him, his eyes flashing a bit.
“We haven’t finished this!”
