Although Yang Yang and Van Gaal chatted easily on the phone, in the Netherlands, Ajax's face against AZ Alkmaar was a battle in the Eredivisie this season.

AZ Alkmaar currently lead the table with 56 points, followed by PSV Eindhoven with 55 points, Ajax in third with 54 points and Feyenoord in fourth with 44 points.

Judging from the standings of the standings, it is already difficult for other teams, including Feyenoord, to shake the ranking of the top three teams, and the championship will be born from these three teams.

Judging from the results of this season's match-ups, these three teams are relatively stable, and the points that should be taken are basically taken, which makes the number of games to fight against each other become crucial, especially in the second half of the season.

Ajax vs. AZ Alkmaar is a game that, to some extent, even affects the league title.

Because of this, both sides of the opposing team attach special importance to it.

Ronald Koeman has rotated a number of players in the Dutch Cup in order to concentrate on preparing for AZ Alkmaar.

Louis van Gaal's return to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium as the visiting coach certainly adds to the excitement of the game, and AZ Alkmaar are now at the top of the table and are unlikely to give up the lead.

Both teams are determined to win, and the whole of the Netherlands can be said to be a national concern.

On match day, the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium was even more packed, with Ajax fans and a large number of visiting fans due to the fact that AZ Alkmaar is not far from Amsterdam.

When the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel and into the pitch, the crowd was huge, with cheers and boos mixed in.

Even the Ajax players were taken by surprise.

Due to Alkmaar's proximity to Amsterdam, the two teams have a strong player relationship with each other, such as Vlaar from the Ajax bench.

In this game, Alkmaar left wing-back Tim de Cler, who played opposite Yang Yang, is from the Ajax academy.

Tim De Cler, 25 years old, has been doing well for AZ Alkmaar this season, and the call for a selection of the Dutch national team is high, and he is considered a young youth player promoted by Co Adrianse when he was in charge of Ajax, but he was not liked by Ronald Koeman, and was poached by Adrianse.

The left wing-back's attacking and defensive ability is very good, he is a well-balanced player in attack and defence, and he is also a strong left-sided player that Van Gaal has always relied on this season.

And this player is also the focus of Van Gaal's freeze on Yang Yang tonight.

…………

…………

Although in last night's super training ground, Yang Yang specially simulated the entire backline of De Clerl and AZ Alkmaar, and conducted simulated sparring for most of the night, but in the game, he still found that the opponent was more difficult.

Simulated sparring can only be simulated, but actual combat is completely different.

Especially when AZ Alkmaar's players have been focused on Van Gaal's deployment and drills, in the left half of the entire half, it seems to have created an iron cage, and every player is like an iron bar that makes up this iron cage, and Yang Yang is the bird imprisoned in this cage.

As expected before the game, Van Gaal did not specifically arrange manpower to mark Yang Yang, but he used regional joint defense to imprison Yang Yang and cut off Yang Yang from other players in the front and midfield.

AZ Alkmaar's targeted defensive tactics effectively stifled Yang Yang's play after the opening kick-off, and he received the ball very few times in the first ten minutes, giving him a feeling of being isolated from the team.

Yang Yang quickly realized this, and he immediately expanded his range of activities.

Van Gaal's arrival at AZ Alkmaar has brought a lot of sanity and defensive quality to a team that was once trained by Adrianse to be very attack-oriented, mainly in terms of the overall movement of the players.

As soon as Yang Yang stepped into the threat zone on the right, AZ Alkmaar immediately tightened the cage.

Moreover, this cage will still move as a whole with Yang Yang's running.

This made Yang Yang quite depressed, and he could only play on the side, or retreat deeper, and get the ball in the area where there was no threat.

Away from goal, his threat is greatly diminished.

Yang Yang also had to admit that AZ Alkmaar's defense was indeed very good.

It's not a passive defence, it's an active pressing defence full of overall movement, much like Ajax.

"This old guy really has two brushes." Yang Yang glanced at Van Gaal in front of the away team's coach's bench and smiled in his heart.

"But if you think you can trap me like this, then you really underestimate me!"

…………

…………

In the opening ten minutes, Yang Yang was dumb on the right flank, and failed to create a threat on several catches, which made Van Gaal very satisfied.

The assistants in the visitors' dugout were also relieved that the targeted tactics had worked.

Van Gaal still felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

At this time last year, he was still at Ajax, still thinking that if he coached AZ Alkmaar, he would bring Yang Yang to this team, cultivate and carve it himself, and he wanted to see how far Yang Yang could grow.

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the season, Yang Yang became famous in one fell swoop, and even scored a killer goal in the Champions League final.

Today's Yang Yang is no longer the fledgling kid last year, he already has a Champions League, and has won the Eredivisie championship, he is the winner of the second Golden Boy Award in Europe, and he is a young talent who is well-known in European football.

Now, he is Ajax's leading scorer and has the strength to compete with the famous Dutch striker Kuyt for the top scorer.

All of this has gone so fast that Van Gaal is a little overwhelmed.

Even, what happened on the pitch in front of him made Van Gaal a little unbelievable.

Is Yang Yang really imprisoned like this?

Is he the kind of player who can be easily imprisoned?

As soon as this ominous thought came to his mind, Van Gaal saw that Yang Yang on the court was also looking at his side, with an expression that seemed to be smiling, as if to say, you underestimate me too much!

This caused Van Gaal to suddenly feel a strong sense of unease.

…………

…………

When Yang Yang saw that the football was passed back to the backfield and given to the feet of McConn on the right side, he quickly pulled to the right side, ran back against the sideline, and raised his hand to ask McConn for the ball.

Tim De Cler's first choice to follow, but his reaction was a step slower, and his speed was not as fast as Yang Yang, and when he chased after Yang Yang, McConn's pass had already come to Yang Yang.

As a result, AZ Alkmaar's left wing-back chose to block behind Yang Yang.

But Yang Yang had already anticipated his choice, and without waiting for De Cler's approach, he took a step forward and stopped horizontally with his left foot.

The ball immediately slid to Yang Yang's right side, and he turned around for the first time, facing De Cler, and quickly dribbled the ball inward.

Midfielder Barry van Gahn was behind De Kler, but because they were both moving fast, the distance between the two was kept a little far, and it was only after Yang Yang dribbled sideways that Van Gahn returned to the defensive position.

In the face of the opponent who came in a hurry, Yang Yang just made a gesture to cut into the penalty area in the ribs, Fan Gahn was immediately fooled and made a blocking action, but in fact, Yang Yang shook a shot, a pendulum passed, shook Van Gaal, and cut the ball horizontally.

Yang Yang's original idea was to cut inside with the ball to the middle, and then cooperate with his teammates depending on the situation, or pass the ball to his teammates.

But when he cut inside all the way to the right side of the top of the penalty area, he saw that AZ Alkmaar's midfielder had pulled back too deep in a hurry, blocking the central defender to a certain extent, and there was a gap between the two.

In this moment, it was as if he saw a passage to the goal.

From behind the midfielder, between the two centre-backs, the ball can go directly to the left side of the goal.

Seeing this passage, Yang Yang suddenly had a strong and irrepressible desire at that moment.

From where he was, at least twenty meters from goal, he had never tried to hit the goal from such a distance, because he had not been strong enough to shoot such a long distance.

This kind of shot requires not only angle, but also strength.

But at this moment, Yang Yang had a strong feeling, he felt that he could, and it was still his left foot.

I've been practicing my left foot for almost two years!

And he has been training hard for nearly half a year in strength training, and he should have made some achievements!

Almost at that moment, Yang Yang immediately made a decision, picked up his left foot, and directly hit a blast.

A bang was heard at the scene.

The football flew out from Yang Yang's left foot, and at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, it crossed behind the defender, with a graceful arc, almost grazing the left post, and crashing into the goal behind him!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"World waves! World Wave !!!! ”

With an exclamation from the commentator, the entire Amsterdam Arena was completely boiling.

Countless Ajax fans rushed out of the stands excitedly, rushed to the fence, and shouted Yang Yang.

Yang Yang also hit that shot, quickly turned around and rushed to the sidelines, directly under the Ajax fan stands, and opened his arms as if to embrace the cheers pouring from the stands.

"Oh my God, in the nineteenth minute, in the opening nineteen minutes, Yang Yang cut inside with the ball on the right side, and suddenly hit a world wave!"

"It was definitely an earth-shattering long-range shot, 25 metres from goal!"

"It's so exciting!"

"It's definitely going to be a world wave that everyone is talking about!"

"No one thought that Yang Yang would suddenly shoot from a distance and hit such a high-quality kick."

"In Alkmaar's tight defensive formation, there was only a little gap, but as a result, Yang Yang grabbed it and scored first with a wonderful world wave!"
