Ibrahimovic kicked crazy!

This is the unanimous conclusion reached by the Ajax up and down after seeing the hard work of the Swedish centre-forward in training.

Completely different from his usual shackles, Ibrahimovic worked very hard in every training session, and his face lost the smile of the past, replaced by a thick and indissolubly solemn.

What's wrong with him?

Everyone in the team is talking about it, and there is speculation in private, some people suspect that he broke up with his girlfriend, some people suspect that he is feeling the pressure of his recent poor performance, and some people speculate that he has found the right team and wants to perform better.

Only Yang Yang, Maxwell and Fermaelen knew that he wanted to kill Arsenal.

When a person is desperate for a clear goal that is close at hand, the energy that bursts out is staggering.

Ibrahimovic is like that now.

But it is precisely because he is completely different from usual that many people are not used to it, and even head coach Ronald Koeman specially asked Yang Yang privately what was going on, for fear that something was wrong with the Swedish center.

'He's fine, he's just crazy trying to score.' Yang Yang said with a smile.

The grudge between Ibrahimovic and Wenger was his private matter, and he told Yang Yang because he was a friend, but this does not mean that he wants others to know, so Yang Yang is willing to keep it secret for him.

"It's good to want to score, but the big game is coming, so don't get yourself hurt." Ronald Koeman was reassured.

"Also," after a pause, the manager added, "you are his friend, open up more to untie him, sometimes the more deliberately pursued, the more often the goal is missed, it is better to relax and maintain a normal heart." ”

"Okay, I'll tell him." Yang Yang nodded.

Koeman is a successful professional footballer after all, and his opinion is worth considering at this point.

"You don't go to school for the last two days, concentrate on training, adjust your condition, and it's important to play at home."

Since entering the first team, Yang Yang has always taken time to go to school, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, a few days ago he played away in a row, he didn't even go to a class for a week, and the school was very helpless about it, but Yang Yang is now a fixed member of the eighteen-man squad, and he really doesn't have time.

The club also attaches great importance to Yang Yang's studies, which is the most important requirement put forward by his uncle Shen Ming when he signed the contract, so as long as he has time, the club will arrange teachers to teach Yang Yang one-on-one tutoring, so that he can keep up with the learning progress of the school as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Yang Yang has the ability to never forget, he learns very quickly, and his academic performance has not declined, but has always remained in the forefront of top students, which also surprised the school and club, and turned a blind eye to his frequent absences.

Yang Yang understands in his heart that Ajax is an old team in the end, and in the face of the powerful Arsenal, although there is not much chance of winning, it does not mean that the club will be willing to surrender to death, and the home team must fight for a victory, and then go to the away game to fight for a draw.

"I know." Yang Yang nodded.

'The good news is that Ashley Cole is definitely out of the game, you can't compete with the world's top left wing-back, but the bad news is that the 18-year-old Frenchman who replaced Ashley Cole was very good in yesterday's London derby against Chelsea.

Yang Yang was full of surprise when he heard it, "Started at Arsenal at the age of eighteen? Or is it such an important game? ”

"Yes, Arsenal is now for the new stadium, Wenger does not have much money to invest in transfers, can only boldly use new people, this Klich is not small, the youngest player in Arsenal at present should be Spain's Cesc Fabregas, he will only be seventeen years old until May, younger than you, but has been playing with the team."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, he originally thought that he was small enough, but he didn't expect that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky.

At the age of eighteen, he started the main team in the London derby of the Premier League, and at the age of sixteen, he represented Arsenal in the Premier League.

He wanted to know how much strength he was different from these people of the same age.

"I'll ask Luther to sort out a copy of the materials and video recordings, you go to him and get them, and study them well."

Since knowing that Yang Yang likes to collect information about opponents before the game, Ronald Koeman has taken this very seriously, because he found that Yang Yang played very targeted every time he came on as a substitute, and it was obvious that this was a good homework before the game.

Because of this, before each game, he will specially ask Luther Carroll to prepare a material for Yang Yang.

After meeting Yang Yang, Ronald Koeman walked back to the coaching office of the first team.

At this time, not only the coaching staff of the Ajax first team were present, but even the technical director Louis van Gaal was also in attendance, and everyone's faces looked very solemn, because they will face Arsenal, who are invincible in the Premier League.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and information and intelligence are always the key to defeating the enemy.

Since the draw for Arsenal in December, Ajax's scouting squad has been in full swing, focusing on gathering information from Arsenal and analysing it in preparation for the upcoming knockout game.

"According to the information we have gotten, it has been basically confirmed that Arsenal have a lot of injuries, Ashley Kerr will not start, Bergkamp will basically not start, and may not even be in the squad." Luther Carroll analyzed.

"Why?" Coman asked.

He is a former team-mate with Bergkamp and is well aware of the quality of the Dutchman, who is still in excellent form and has been an important part of Arsenal's forward line this season, despite turning 35 years old soon.

"Arsenal spent 10 million euros to bring in Jose Antonio Reyes from Sevilla in La Liga during the winter break, this youngster is Wenger's most relied on player at the moment, he is very fast, and more importantly, everyone is very new to him, and his two strikers with Thierry Henry have lightning speed and are very lethal."

With an unbeaten season, Arsenal's starting line-up and technical and tactical play have begun to be noticed by all teams, not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League.

In this case, the stimulus of fresh blood can not only act on the team, but also for opponents who are familiar with or have studied Arsenal in depth.

"If there are no surprises, we speculate that the starting lineup is goalkeeper Seaman, the back line from left to right is Klich, Campbell, Kolo Toure and Lauren, and there is no suspense for the two wing-backs on the left and right in the midfield, Pire on the left and Ljungberg on the right, but in addition to captain Vieira in the middle, it will depend on whether Gilberto Silva can return from injury, otherwise, it should be Brazilian midfielder Edu, and the forward line will be a combination of Henry and Reyes."

As the season has deepened so far, there is basically no much suspense about the technical and tactical play and starting lineups of the two sides, but Arsenal's advantage is that even if they only send substitutes, they are enough to firmly suppress Ajax.

'In attack, Ljungberg hasn't been in good form lately, he used to work best with Bergkamp, but now it's the newcomer Reyes who starts the game, and there has been no spark between the two, but it's still not to be careless.

Luther Carroll's reminder made everyone nod.

At Ljungberg's level, a star could be lethal at any moment.

"Pire's on the left is something we have to pay attention to, Manchester United's 1-0 win over Arsenal in the FA Cup the other day is worth learning from, Ferguson used Keane to mark Pire, and we have De Jong or Galasek to cut off Pire's link with Thierry Henry, which can greatly curb Arsenal's attacking threat."

The Gunners' most powerful attacking firepower at the moment comes from the left side, and the left-sided attacking combination of Ashley Cole, Pire and Thierry Henry has terrified all teams in European football, but now that Ashley Cole is injured, as long as the connection between Pire and Henry is severed, Arsenal's attack will be greatly reduced.

'Klich played really well against Chelsea and was named in the Premier League Team of the Round, but if we dig deeper, we can see that he has almost nothing to contribute in attack, and in defence, he likes to tackle, which is not a good habit.

'Arsenal's two full-backs, Lauren and Klich, both have positional problems, and in the game against Chelsea, Gudjohnson cut inside the box from the left side on a number of occasions, causing overlap between Lauren and centre-back Toure, not only to give up the wings, but also to the left side of the top of the box.

"The problem with Klich on the left is his fill-in, Campbell is tall and strong, and he has excellent frontal defensive ability, but the slow turn is an old problem, once he is pulled out, Klich always can't fill in the position behind him in time, so whether it is Chelsea or Manchester United, they all grab Klich's side to play."

'In the last round of the Premier League against Chelsea, in the opening goal, the left side of the opening goal, Klich was stationed on the left side of the goal, but in the subsequent game he played well, which covered up the mistake at the beginning, but all the teams seized this point to play, and the answer is very obvious.

After Luther Carroll's analysis, everyone began to understand that behind Arsenal's unbeatable strength, there are actually very weak links, especially the impact of injuries is not less than that of other teams.

If world-class left wing-back Ashley Cole had been on the pitch, perhaps the problem would have been swept under the rug on the left, but now, youngster Klich is destined to be the weakest link in Arsenal's squad.

And the question is, how can Ajax take advantage of this?

Manchester United won the FA Cup, but Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal after scoring first at home in the Premier League, and both games provided Ajax with plenty of experience and material to learn from.

How is this game going to be played?

Everyone looked at Ronald Koeman.
