Ajax is known as the world's number one star processing factory, and its youth training system is also ranked number one in the world, having trained countless football stars over the years.
Those far away include Saint Cruyff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, Seedorf, Gullit and others.
The closer ones include Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, and Sanchez who is currently in the team.
If we really wanted to count all the stars produced by Ajax, we would probably be able to count them all in three days and three nights.
It is not easy to cultivate an outstanding player in a certain age group, but Ajax cultivates and produces them batch by batch.
The level of its youth training system is breathtaking. This is the greatness of Ajax.
For many years, Ajax has been the bellwether for the rise and fall of Dutch football.
Whenever a group of talented players emerge at the Arena, the Dutch national team can make people tremble in international competitions.
Although these players will soon be poached by big foreign clubs with high salaries after becoming famous, Ajax still allows them to stand among the top players in Europe with their continuous and powerful blood-forming ability.
In this game, Liverpool played first as a guest and then as a host. Mo Yang and the others arrived in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, three days in advance.
When they first arrived in the Netherlands, Mo Yang and the others were a little uncomfortable with the weather. In April, it was already a bit hot in Liverpool.
When I arrived in Amsterdam, I felt like I was back in the cold winter again.
On the morning of the game, at the rented training ground, Klopp breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Moyang and the others had gradually adapted to the local climate in the past few days.
At this time, Ajax coach Bosz was not idle either.
In the tactics room of the Future Training Base, Boss is explaining some important tactics to the players for tonight's game.
From his playing days to his coaching career, Bosz's resume is not brilliant.
But he strongly believes in Cruyffism and has a deep understanding of Van Gaal's football philosophy.
After he coached the team, he fixed Ajax's formation at 433, focusing on passing control and high-position pressing.
At the same time, he vigorously uses young players, which is very consistent with the tradition of Ajax. His results this season are very good.
After a long time, after explaining the tactics, Boss began to tell the players some things to pay attention to during the game.
"Remember! No matter who is next to him, you must always pay attention to the movement of Liverpool's No. 8. I don't ask you to completely block him, but you must not let him easily get the ball and pass the ball forward! Otherwise, believe me,
That would be a huge disaster!"
"There is also Liverpool's No. 4 Van Dijk. It's best not to try to get past him easily. You should shoot and pass the ball concisely. This big guy has all the excellent qualities necessary for a central defender. It's best not to do it deliberately.
Provoke him or you will regret it!"
"In addition, Davison and Matthijs, you two should pay attention to Liverpool's No. 10 and No. 11. These two wingers are very fast and have strong ability to cut inside and score goals and assists. You must pay attention to your position when defending, and also
Block their passing lanes."
Boss in front of the tactical board was very detailed, but the restrictions on Moyang were also the same as those of other Premier League teams, with additional restrictions on the ball.
To put it bluntly, it was Bosch's helpless move.
After the lottery results came out, he conducted a comprehensive and detailed analysis of Liverpool, and Mo Yang was the top priority of his research goals.
But unfortunately, he didn't have a good idea on how to block Mo Yang.
Liverpool's No. 8 commander is really too comprehensive, and there is no way to completely restrict him.
…
At 8pm local time in the Netherlands, with the referee's whistle, the decisive battle between the giants in the Europa League officially started.
In the LeTV sports live broadcast room, the old partners Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu played late at night. They never missed any of Mo Yang's games.
"The average age of Liverpool's players on the field is 23, while Ajax is younger, with an average age of only 20."
"So this game is not only a showdown between European giants, but also a battle between young teams!"
"Youth means unlimited future, so I won't be surprised by the result of this game! Because everything is possible!"
Zhan Jun was talking eloquently, and after finishing his words, Zhang Lu smiled and said, "Yes, this should be a very exciting game!"
"In Ajax's football philosophy, there is no concept of 'defensive counterattack'. Offense, a strong offense is the best defense!"
“And Liverpool’s offense this season is also the best in the Premier League!
"Salah, Mane, and Firmino are hailed by the British media as the most terrifying goal-scoring front line in the Premier League this season."
"So far, these three have scored a total of 50 goals in the Premier League alone. Their efficiency is terrifying."
"Especially after Mo Yang was completely liberated by Klopp, the scoring efficiency of these three people increased significantly, which is even more terrifying."
"So the problem for Ajax in this game is how to restrict Mo Yang! Otherwise, if the Premier League's number one midfielder is allowed to play freely, I won't be surprised at any score!"
As the two of them explained each other, the game on the field gradually became more intense.
Ajax and Liverpool played very fiercely and aggressively in this game.
No matter which side has the ball, the other side will run all over the field to press hard, and no one will be idle.
Never let the opponent take the ball calmly, which fully demonstrates the overall consistency of the team.
"Man-to-man high post pressure tests the opponent's ability to clear the ball in the backcourt. Although Yang was forced to devote his energy to defense during this period, he was not completely ineffective."
"Relying on his super broad field vision, he repeatedly moved the ball out of Ajax's pressing circle. Not only that, he also found an opportunity to accurately pass the ball behind Ajax, organizing the
A very threatening attack."
"After nearly a Premier League season, our talents have become more mature."
Berglin, who was in the commentary box, explained with a smile on his face that he was a little unusual in this game and was not too excited.
Berglin's only regret now is that Liverpool probably has little hope of winning the Premier League title this season.
Just thinking about Beglin makes me feel like my heart is crying!
Chelsea and Conte should not make the same mistake twice.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Ajax head coach Bosz looked incredulous when he saw Mo Yang active in the backcourt.
The development of the game situation completely surprised him, and he found that he still underestimated Liverpool's No. 8 midfield commander.
Although their high-pressure in the frontcourt was very fierce, it actually did not cause much trouble to Liverpool.
Even if they press man-to-man in Liverpool's backcourt, the ball will often be safely moved out under the command of Liverpool's No. 8, and will be hit behind from time to time.
Klopp, who was next to Bosch, stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. This situation was something he expected.
With Mo Yang around, he wasn't too worried about this seemingly thrilling high-position press.
Crises are sometimes accompanied by excellent offensive opportunities!
