"One to zero doesn't prove anything. We will win back when we return to the Amsterdam Stadium!" said Raphael Fante, the biggest player in the Ajax team and the first football golden boy in history.
"They made a lot of mistakes, but unfortunately our players failed to attack efficiently in this game. We squandered too many opportunities." Ajax's head coach was also not satisfied with the result of this game. "The score does not prove our strength."
“Sanremo won today because they were luckier than us!”
The speeches of the two of them actually explained everything that happened in this game very well.
Sanremo made a lot of mistakes, and the consequence was that Ajax had a lot of opportunities to counterattack.
Will the Dutchman, who plays Total Attack and Defense, play counterattacks and fast breaks?
joke!
Just so good at it!
But Ajax failed to mount a qualified counterattack in this game.
If Sanremo was squandering time and possession, then Ajax was indeed squandering opportunities today.
The number of times their counter-attacking fast breaks really threatened the Sanremo goal was very limited.
However, Hans of Live Football Report does not think this is Ajax squandering opportunities.
He believes that this is a reflection of Ajax's strength.
Ajax currently cannot seize the opportunity!
Hans: "Ajax's performance in fast-break counterattacks seems to be bad luck, but it is actually the inevitable result of lack of strength. There is only one reason why they can reach the Europa League quarterfinals this season, and that is the last one. During the knockout round, their core midfielder Fante was given a red card and suspended."
"That's right! Fant has become a burden to Ajax."
"Although it hurts to say this, we can also draw similar conclusions through the statistics after the game. Fante's total running distance was only 8,000 meters, which is not bad for a technical midfielder. , but you have to know that Ajax is totally offensive and defensive!"
"Most of their players can run more than 10,000 meters, and Fant is much worse than them."
"In addition, Fant's hot spots on the field are also concentrated in the midfield and the middle of the frontcourt. The range is not large, and it is a regular activity position for technical midfielders."
"But let's take a look at Sanremo's Moric, who is also a technical attacking midfielder! See, the range of the active hot zone is one-half larger than Fante!"
"Even excluding the impact of Sanremo's ball control advantage, Moric's range of control is still far greater than that of Fante. This is related to tactics, player physical strength, running ability, willingness to run, speed, burst, etc. "
"For many balls, if you are fast enough, even if the opponent has already received the football, you can still go up and interfere because you have time. But there are many balls, if your speed and explosiveness are not enough, you will not even take a step because you know that you have already late!"
"The lack of speed and explosive power is the third piece of evidence we are talking about. Due to repeated injuries, Fant's speed is no longer what he was when he was young, and his explosive power has even declined."
"But as the core of the team's offense, if conditions permit, the team will give priority to him even if it is a counterattack. But Fant lacks the ability to dribble the ball forward at this time, so he can only slow down the rhythm."
"After Fante slowed down, Sanremo's defense almost really slowed down. This is an important reason for Ajax's lack of counterattack ability."
"And Sanremo's Kant guarded Fante very closely, which shows that Sanremo is not unprepared. When Ajax was studying their midfield passing tactics, they were also studying Ajax's midfield passing tactics. The core of Sri Lanka’s offense!”
An analysis that goes a long way.
Of course, Hans didn't say any sensitive words like serial transposition.
He can expose things that should be exposed, but it is not time for him to expose concepts that should not be exposed.
The first inventor of many things is not the most popular.
The person who can really reap the benefits of this concept is often the one who stands up to popularize it after the concept is accepted by people. The last sentence is that I already knew it.
Hans knows how to manage his reputation as a "gold medal reporter".
…
April 16, the 32nd round of Serie B.
The team arranged a rotation, but Lu Yang did not take a rest.
Because their league opponents are not weak, they are currently among the top five Serie B teams.
Sanremo still made a lot of mistakes in this game, but their opponents seized the opportunity and launched a high-quality counterattack, once leading 2-1.
But in the end, the two sides still played with a score of three to three and ended in a draw.
Lu Yang played steadily, scoring two goals and one assist.
Versage passed and scored.
Fernandez had an assist.
Although Najib's own goals have been reduced a lot this season, they have not yet been completely cured. In this game, he sent a perfect own goal, turning Sanremo's three points into one point. It can be said that he is generous and generous!
So far, Lu Yang's league goals have reached 39 goals!
Push the Serie B goal record into a wave.
In fact, he is probably not far away from scoring 40 goals in the league.
Same topic again.
Just like when Lu Yang scored 18 goals in half a season in Serie D, countless people said that it would be difficult for him to score double figures in a single season in Serie C.
As a result, Lu Yang scored 43 goals in a single season in Serie C, breaking the Serie C single-season scoring record!
At that time, many people said that Serie C was just a low-level league. There was an insurmountable gap between secondary leagues like Serie B and low-level leagues.
The Serie B season is not over yet, but Lu Yang has already scored 39 goals.
It's not that he can't score goals because the league level has improved.
If last season he was a future star that many people were interested in taking a look at.
So this season, he has started to make many wealthy clubs think about whether they should take a gamble on this player and spend a large sum of money to buy him?
And to this day, he hasn't even turned nineteen yet.
After this game, Sanremo will prepare to fly to Amsterdam to challenge Ajax away for the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.
But before that, in the Champions League, this year's semi-finals have been decided in advance!
AC Milan defeated the blue team Chelsea in two rounds, and Izelle once again had the upper hand in the battle with Gutierrez.
Of course, this is related to the fact that Chelsea has not yet fully adjusted.
Chelsea, which was acquired by a Russian tycoon, is still in the process of being reassembled. After the end of this season, they are likely to further strengthen their midfield, especially the midfielder.
Once the reinforcements are completed, they will become a complete team next season.
Not to mention honor, but the strength should be comparable to the top giants.
On the other side, Barcelona, under the leadership of new coach Gudiola, achieved a self-breakthrough in the Champions League this season and reached the semi-finals!
This is the best result so far in the Champions League achieved by the Argentinian emperor and Barcelona's local players.
They are actually in full form this season.
However, Gudeola's demanding tactics have slowed down their outbreak progress, affecting their combat effectiveness to a certain extent.
Of course, this is difficult for ordinary people to see.
However, if they complete Gudiola's tactical requirements, their upper limit will be higher, and other stars will also have a certain possibility of integration.
In the showdown between Manchester United and Juventus, Manchester United had the last laugh.
Juventus had a draw and a loss in the two rounds, and it was a pity that they lost.
But the two teams only scored one goal in two games.
Juventus' offense has the same problem as the Italian national team.
The edge is weak!
Ancarelli did not seem to show the momentum of Italy during the war.
At least it's not as eye-catching as his salary of 6 million euros.
Bayern also defeated the still-forming Paris Saint-Germain.
After all, the Bundesliga has been much stronger than Ligue 1 in the past two years.
This game is not an upset.
At this point, each of the four major leagues has a team reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. It is almost like an agreement that they will not play with Ligue 1.
And the subsequent drawing of lots left Suotu stunned!
Because AC Milan, the only team not ranked so high in the league, was actually assigned to Barcelona.
Although the probability of encountering anyone in a random draw is the same, but... with Lu Yang's words there and preconceptions, Suotu naturally used the word "distribution".
In Lu Yang's prediction, Barcelona will not be AC Milan's opponent now.
This... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like it should be possible!
Because AC Milan has not shown unparalleled combat effectiveness in either the league or the Champions League this year.
Coupled with last year's Champions League overturn, AC Milan is actually looked down upon by many teams and fans.
As for Barcelona, they are already firmly in first place in the league.
In the Champions League, they also played explosive statistics many times, three to zero, five to one, and they played very happily.
For a time, rumors spread.
"Real Madrid wants to buy Iselet? It shouldn't be! Iselet is Brazilian, and we at Barcelona have a tradition of accepting Brazilian players!"
"Why don't Izellet join us at Barcelona?"
"Yeah, it's good to be a substitute and strengthen the lineup."
"The person Real Madrid wants can only be a substitute when he comes to Barcelona! Except for Zizo, none of the so-called superstars they bought have real skills!"
"Haha, Barcelona fans really dare to say that even if our Izellet leaves the team, he will never go to Barcelona!"
"Izellet will beat you up, just wait!"
"Even if your Argentinian emperor comes, there is no way he can push Izlett to the bench. It's too arrogant!"
"Real Madrid's superstars are recognized around the world, but your family's superstars are all self-proclaimed by your family. Is there any comparison? It's hilarious!"
Fans of AC Milan and Barcelona started to fight.
In comparison, Manchester United and Bayern on the other side don't have much to talk about.
Although there are duels and controversies between the two, there are not many football teams that have inexplicable feuds just because of some games. What's more, ordinary fans are artificially guided and thus enter the fandom state.
But in recent years, rice circle culture has not become popular.
After the heated discussion about the release of the Champions League semi-finals.
Originally, everyone was waiting to see the next semi-finals of the Europa League.
As a result, England's "The Sun" lived up to expectations and once again misdirected the attention of the football circle.
"The Sun": Big news! Sofia accepted the invitation from the Sanremo Music Festival and may bring Lu Yang to the finale!
This news has been exposed and has attracted widespread attention in the entertainment industry.
Because as everyone knows, Sofia's new movie "Gone Girl" seems to have been completed.
She attended the Sanremo Music Festival this time, most likely to promote the movie.
Sanremo Music Festival is one of Italy's famous music festivals.
In the past two years, due to the Sanremo Football Club, Sanremo's tourism traffic has reached a new high, and it has become another tourist hotspot city in Europe.
and!
Sanremo's new four-star stadium has been initially completed and is ready for use.
In order to consecrate the new stadium, Russell Group also invested a huge amount of sponsorship in this year's Sanremo Music Festival.
Therefore, this year's Sanremo Music Festival is full of advertisements and has invited many stars and superstars to join the festival, making it famous throughout Europe.
Tens of thousands of tickets have already been snapped up.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe this year.
And its time is unexpectedly April 22nd!
Just one day after the game between Sanremo and Ajax.
even!
One day after the Sanremo Music Festival, there was another league game in Sanremo.
Not to mention the tight schedule, you, Lu Yang, still want to go out and make money by digging holes?
Isn't this a bit too much?
"The Sun" exposes the truth of every major event, but it is also extremely accurate in reporting such nonsense.
As soon as they reported it, the rest of the media followed suit, and then got a public response from Sofia.
Sofia: "I will indeed participate in this year's Sanremo Music Festival. Thank you for your support and attention. I have indeed invited special guests to attend with me, but I can't confirm the specific situation yet."
"It is still unknown whether the special guests will come and whether they are available."
Reporter: "Is the special guest you are talking about Lu Yang?"
Sophia: "Sorry, no comment. Everyone will know by then."
This interview did not make the rumors disappear. On the contrary, the more everyone thought about it, the more true it became.
Many media have published special articles to predict this special guest.
Some people thought it would be Anna, she is an excellent music producer.
The theme song and some of the interludes in the previous movie "The Invisible Guest" were all composed by her.
It is normal for such a senior music producer to appear at the Sanremo Music Festival.
Some people also think it is Sofia's recent best friend Tia.
This little model began to appear frequently next to Sofia this year, appearing in shows such as Milan Fashion Week.
According to media excavations, it was discovered that she is Moliqi's girlfriend.
Considering the relationship between Moric and Lu Yang, it is not surprising that Sofia takes Tia to attend some large events.
Many people really envy Moliqi because of this.
Not only can he have Lu Yang's support in the team, but his girlfriend can also use Lu Yang's girlfriend's support. He can successfully enter the entertainment industry, and his resources are much better than those of ordinary newcomers.
Of course, most people still believed that the mysterious guest was Lu Yang.
And many people think Lu Yang will go.
Some people thought it was Lu Yang, but Lu Yang would not go.
For details, please refer to the Brit Awards Ceremony during the European Youth Championships.
Lu Yang was too proud to participate in the team competition.
There are a lot of opinions, the entertainment industry has taken advantage of the popularity of football, and countless entertainment editors have made bad money.
The football media find themselves weak in comparison.
In the entertainment industry, any trivial matter can create countless possibilities, and everyone can share the money.
However, the football media is still so stubborn and serious that in the end they make no money and their influence is always limited to the scope of football and cannot be further expanded.
You have to learn from your entertainment colleagues.
Although the earliest and most familiar newspaper you read and learn from, "The Sun", has a bad reputation, it has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and it is an indisputable fact that it makes money.
…
On April 21, the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals begins.
Sanremo faces Ajax away from home.
In the first half, both Ajax and Sanremo continued the style of the previous game.
It seemed like neither team felt they had a problem.
Sanremo still makes mistakes in coordination and gives the opponent the ball.
But the good thing is that whoever loses the ball will press them immediately.
As long as the opponent's counterattack speed is slightly slower, it will not be too threatening.
Ajax also frequently seizes opportunities to counterattack, and some succeed and some fail, but generally speaking, counterattacks are mostly turned into positional battles.
Fant's slowness was further reflected in this game.
Before Hans didn't mention it, everyone just thought Ajax was weird this year, but they couldn't tell what was weird.
After Hans made it clear, everyone really saw Fant's slowness more clearly.
This is a spotlight and a magnifying glass, and Fant's dilemma is clearly visible.
And although he is slower than Sancho, he is young and might be able to be faster if necessary.
Fant really slowed down and could never get up again.
Time makes people grow old.
He was supposed to be at the golden age of 28, but he sat on the bench for two or three years due to frequent injuries and mistakes in team selection, which ultimately led to premature decline in his football career.
Rafael Fante is truly a tragedy in football.
The scary thing is that Barcelona has several such tragedies.
In the past few years, Arsenal's captain, who almost jumped to Barcelona after the handover with Fante, has now been sitting on Barcelona's bench for two years, hasn't he?
Even though Barcelona officially set sail this year, there is no such captain in this cosmic team!
Mr. Winter even talked about it dry at that time, but he did not change the other person's mind.
But now, what is the other person's state of mind?
If nothing else, the former Arsenal captain will be sold by Barcelona after the end of this season.
Another top potential star has fallen in Barcelona.
This is not a problem for one person, but a series of problems.
But the result is often left to the individual to bear.
"You're too slow!" Moric said to Fant after he spiked the ball and passed the ball to his teammates smoothly.
He just stated a fact without any exaggeration.
But this sentence stung Fant.
"Young man, you have to have some moral integrity!" Fant glared at Molic.
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious about your Barcelona career. I hope I can chat with you when I have time, so as to help myself avoid some wrong choices." Moric thought of the past few days. Lu Yang told him.
It's not that he doesn't believe Brother Lu, it's just... he is a little unwilling to give up after all and wants to ask more about other people's feelings.
Just like some people know that they only have enough savings to buy a car worth more than RMB 100,000, but they still read reviews of BMW three series every day.
He wanted to struggle again.
However...Moric's words are tantamount to adding salt to Fant's wounds.
Barcelona career?
Are you asking about the comparison between the experience of using the bench seats at Camp Nou and the bench seats of other teams?
Idiot!
"You are so arrogant! You will grow old like me in the future!" Fant was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He knew that the young man in front of him received an offer from Barcelona in the winter window.
This is like Fant back then.
Fant seemed to see a low-end version of himself.
Because Barcelona's offer to him back then was 10 million!
And that was only five, six or seven years ago!
"That's why I want to ask you for advice. I don't want to be the next you." Molic told the truth.
Sincerity is an attitude.
But sincerity sometimes really hurts.
boom!
Fante angrily overthrew Molich.
Lu Yang, who heard the whole conversation from the sidelines, just silently picked up Moliqi and pulled him away.
Brother, stop talking. If word of the conversation just spreads out, everyone will want to hit you!
The referee gave Fant a yellow card.
Some Ajax players rushed over to accuse Moric, saying that your conspiracy has now succeeded.
But Moric swears that at this stage he is really curious about everything about Barcelona!
He really didn't mean to anger Fant.
In fact, Moric has been very restrained.
When a person is crazy obsessed with or interested in something for a certain period of time, it is like being poisoned.
This feeling will be familiar to everyone, regardless of gender.
During the halftime break, Sotu did not change their tactics and they were now the leading side.
He just specifically told Moric not to irritate opposing players with trash talk.
Facing Ajax with its core shortcomings highlighted, Sanremo does not need to win so hard and does not need to use this method of playing in the third lane.
Next time you have a chance to play against a strong Premier League team, you can give it a try.
I heard that the midfield fights on their side are very exciting, and chokeholds and leg breaks are commonplace.
At the beginning of the second half, Sanremo launched a wave of frontcourt press.
Lu Yang, Soger, Bayizami, and Moric jointly pressed the ball.
Lu Yang fought from the left to the center.
Ajax was unable to get the ball out of the backcourt and could only pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper also wanted to have some fun.
People who watch football often know that many goalkeepers often have to "let the football fly for a while" when faced with a ball that can be handled in time.
They didn't pick up the football or give it out until the opponent's forward rushed forward.
The purpose is to attract the opponent's striker to come up.
On the one hand, it is a waste of the opponent's physical strength. If you can waste a little bit, it may play a key role.
On the other hand, it pulls the opponent's forward over, which actually allows the team to face one less player in the midfield and backcourt, expands the numerical advantage, and enhances the stability of the ball in the midfield and backcourt.
So the goalkeeper took a step or two with the football when he could use his wide kick.
But it did not occur to him that Sogel was completely uninteresting.
Sogel went straight for the goalkeeper, showing no intention of slowing down.
boom!
The Ajax goalkeeper flicked the ball away with his big foot.
But Sogel was already very close to him at this time.
After a muffled sound.
Sogel fell to the ground clutching his stomach.
But at the same moment, the football hit Sogel and bounced to the side.
In the middle of the penalty area, closer than the penalty spot, the football was beating so cutely.
boom!
Lu Yang, who had been pressing from the left wing, fought his way into the penalty area.
The ball fell just in front of him.
What's this?
This is God rewards hard work!
Facing the empty goal, Lu Yang raised his foot and shot!
Done in one go!
One to zero!
Sanremo takes the lead away from home.
Ajax trailed 0-2 after two rounds.
In addition, they failed to score in the away game. If they want to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League, they need to score three goals!
"GOAL!"
After Lu Yang scored, he turned to look at Soger.
Although Sogel was stifled by a kick, he missed the critical point and completed another assist.
He immediately stood up and celebrated the goal with Lu Yang.
This is the legendary pain and joy!
