67 Whom to praise?
After tasting the sweetness, Yang Yang began to create killing opportunities frequently on the right side.
As soon as he gets the ball on the right flank, he will immediately make a judgment, rush forward when he has the opportunity, use his personal breakthrough ability to create a threat, or use wide crosses to send the ball into the box frequently, and if it doesn't work, he will pass back to his teammates to reorganize.
With Yang Yang's strategy adjustment, Ajax's frontcourt offensive has become very ferocious, and the right side has completely become the initiation of Ajax's attack.
This is also basically in line with Van Basten's tactical thinking, with Yang Yang on the right to create a threat and attract the attention of the defence, Babel on the left and Fred Benson in the middle to attack forward, and Krohn and Maduro to take on the second wave of attacks.
In the 38th minute, Yang Yang once again retreated to receive the ball on the right side, and after pulling away from the former defender Leo Ramos, he saw an opportunity, and quickly made a long diagonal pass with his right foot, passing the ball behind the opponent's defense and falling in the penalty area.
Fred Benson quickly cut in the back row, caught up with the ball and crossed to the left, where Babbel followed up and fired a direct shot.
Three to zero.
Ajax's onslaught broke the back of the net for Vitesse II.
And the most excited on the pitch is none other than Babbel.
With a brace in the game, he was finally able to raise his eyebrows and regain everyone's confidence in his team's number one player.
It's just that the Dutch genius of Surinamese origin seems to have a deep prejudice against Yang Yang, and when he celebrated with his teammates after scoring a goal, he intentionally or unintentionally missed Yang Yang, and Yang Yang was not interested in taking the initiative to get up, so the two avoided contact.
Van Basten praised his players' performances in the dressing room and encouraged everyone to keep up in the second half, with Yang again highlighted Yang this time.
"In the second half, our attack was still focused on the right side, and it was obvious that Leo Ramos on the left side of the opposition had problems, so we had to fight and try to completely break the opponent."
While Yang Yang nodded in agreement, not only did the shadow of Leo Ramos appear in his mind, but he was also an unlucky guy.
However, this is the case in professional football, where the strong always have to step on the shoulders of the weak.
If you don't want to become Leo Ramos one day, someone else's foil, make yourself stronger.

After the rematch in the second half, Ajax still maintained their offensive against Vitesse.
Yang Yang on the right side is still very active, or breaking through with the ball himself, disrupting the opponent's defense, or crossing when he sees an opportunity, creating chaos in the penalty area.
It can even be seen that Yang Yang on the right and Krohn in the middle obviously interact very frequently, the rhythm is very harmonious, and they cooperate very well with each other, which makes Van Basten and the fans on the sidelines surprised.
This is the second game after Yang Yang joined the team, and it is indeed surprising to have such a performance.
Soon, Vitesse made adjustments, replaced a central defender, replaced a striker, and changed to a five-back defensive strategy of three central defenders, so that Yang Yang on the right side often had to face two defenders alone, and his active performance was also curbed to a certain extent.
But Yang Yang is still trying to find opportunities and create threats.
In the 61st minute, it was Yang Yang who passed the pendulum on the right side, shook off a defender, and quickly crossed to the penalty area, Fred Benson grabbed the first landing point, but the shot was blocked by the opponent's defender with his body.
Ajax won a corner.
But just when Krohn wanted to walk to the corner kick area, Yang Yang suddenly grabbed him.
"Let me try this kick." Yang Yang said enthusiastically.
Ajax II took a few corners in this game, but the effect was not particularly obvious, after all, neither Babel nor Fred Benson were good at heading and grabbing points in the front, and the only high point in the backline was Lindgren.
Such a lineup configuration is easy to be contained by the opponent when attacking from a corner kick, and it has little effect.
"You want to be punished?" Crohn was a little surprised.
"I haven't been punished, I want to give it a try." Yang Yang said with a smile.
It's true that he's never taken a corner, but he's been working [Beckham's cross] and a couple of crosses in this game have worked well, so he really wants to try more.
Crohn had a very good impression of Yang Yang, thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.
But he still looked to the sidelines in advance and asked manager Van Basten for his opinion, who also felt that it was okay.
Now Ajax has a three-goal lead, and this corner kick was also earned by Yang Yang's cross, so it's okay for him to try, not to mention that he has let Demur warm up, and is ready to replace Yang Yang later.
"Let him try." Van Basten would also like to see how he can get his penalty.
"As long as you don't kick the corner off the line." Witzger laughed.
Van Schip's dissenting opinion: "I think he should be able to get the ball into the box. ”
But obviously, they didn't think Yang Yang could take this corner well, after all, it was his first time.
There are a lot of similarities between corners and crosses, but there are also some differences.
Without the guidance of the coach, Yang Yang took the initiative to apply for a corner kick for the first time, as long as it was not too outrageous.
In the stadium, Yang Yang couldn't guess the coaches' thoughts, and the reason why he applied for a corner kick was also improvised, wanting to give it a try, and after getting Van Basten's consent, he quickly ran to the corner area.
This was a corner kick on the left side, Yang Yang seemed to be like everyone else, putting the ball on the inside of the corner flagstick in the corner kick area, but he slowly stepped back, balanced with the bottom line, and carefully watched the position of the ball and the goal.
He noticed an interesting point, the corner kick was in a straight line with the goal, and there was a linesman who was also watching from the baseline, and it was clear that he was watching to see if the ball flew out of the line when it was flying.
That's probably one of the differences between a corner kick and a cross.
Kicking the arc ball, Yang Yang was somewhat unsure, if it really flew out of the bottom line, it would be too big, so he quickly decided to use a long pass cross kick.
And when Yang Yang was thinking about the problem, Thomas Vermaelen in the penalty area saw that Yang Yang was the main penalty, and his heart moved, isn't this the routine they often practice on weekdays?
The difference is that they used to practise crosses, this time from a corner.
Thinking of this, Vermaelen chose to switch places with Maduro and appeared behind the penalty spot.
As soon as the Belgian centre-back stood there, he immediately looked at Yang Yang, and he believed that the roommate must be able to guess his intentions.
Yang Yang really understood, guessed the other party's thoughts, and after slowly taking three steps back, he raised his right hand and compared an index finger.
Fermaren nodded in disgrace, indicating receipt.
Soon, with the referee's whistle, Yang Yang took a deep breath, stepped on the familiar rhythm, took a familiar step, and quickly rushed to the ball, standing with his left foot and the heel ball at a 45-degree angle, and quickly pulling out his right foot.
Only a bang was heard at the scene, and the ball was seen flying out of Yang Yang's right foot and instep, quickly crossing a parabola, and then falling rapidly and falling to the back point of the goal.
There was chaos in the penalty area, and the defenders couldn't guess where the ball was going to be, and when they judged the ball, they saw an Ajax player quickly come out of the back post, leap high in front of the right post, and flick his head at the falling ball.
Although Yang Yang was the first time to take the penalty, he still steadily sent the ball to the area agreed with Fermaelen, allowing the latter to rush over to fight for the top.
After hitting Vermaelen on the forehead, the ball swerved and slammed into the goal of Vitesse II.
"Ah!!!!h
The audience cheered.
After Fermalen landed, the whole person raised his hands high, cheered loudly, rushed out of the penalty area excitedly, and rushed to Yang Yang in one breath, and the whole person slid and knelt in front of Yang Yang in the corner kick area, making a bow and worship.
He was so excited!
It was his first goal at Ajax.
As a centre-back, he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to score goals, but how can he not be excited and excited to score after only two games?
The referee's whistle for the goal was effective, and all the fans in the stadium cheered and cheered.
Yang Yang was also extremely excited, and also knelt down in front of Fermalen, hugging each other hard.
It's the result of their training over the past period and Vermaelen's movement has fooled everyone.
The Belgian centre-back's anticipation of the ball and his excellent ability to head the ball were on full display in this goal.
Ajax's teammates surrounded him, especially Crohn, who gently punched Yang Yang and complained sourly, "You even want to grab my corner kick penalty right." ”
But soon, the Danish midfielder hugged Yang Yang and Vermaelen one by one.
They are all young players, and they are each other's youthful age, so no one cares too much about this.
For the young players of Ajax at this moment, the most important thing is to win, to win.
Van Basten and his two assistants were shocked, even Van Schip, who had the most confidence in Yang Yang, did not expect that the first corner kick would form an assist.
"You say, we should praise Fermaren for grabbing some consciousness? Or praise the quality of his corners? Witzger asked with a wry smile.
Van Basten and Van Schipe looked at each other and both burst out laughing.
It doesn't matter who praises, as long as Ajax scores, it's all right.
In a frenzy of celebration, Van Basten made a substitution.
In the last game, he gave Yang Yang 30 minutes, and this time he gave Demur 30 minutes in turn.
These have been decided before the game, mainly considering that Yang Yang is only sixteen years old, although he needs to compete and exercise, but too many games and too much fatigue are not a good thing.
But De Moor's mood when he came on the pitch was not as happy as Yang Yang at that time, because he knew very well that with Yang Yang's better performance every game, he was getting farther and farther away from the main position of the right winger.
