Chapter 51
"Ajax replaced Kinash with Sun Yu from the youth team. Sun Yu played in the Dutch Eredivisie with Ajax U21 this season."
"He scored 9 goals in the first five games and was transferred to the first team by Frank de Boer after Schone was injured. This was his first appearance for the first team."
"In fact, he was born in the same year as Kinash, who was replaced. Both sides were teammates of Ajax U19, but Kinash joined Ajax U21 at the age of 18 and entered the first team this season."
"Sun Yu recently rejected the call-up of the Dutch U21. The player is known for his hot temper and received three red cards in the youth league last season."
"But after the start of this season, Sun Yu was entrusted with important tasks by the head coach and has performed well in a series of games."
"Marco, I guess you have heard about this young man recently."
Barend, the host of the Dutch commercial TV station RTL4, quickly introduced Sun Yu's background information and smoothly turned the topic to Ajax star Van Basten.
Van Basten, who had just stepped down as head coach of Alkmaar, nodded: "I have read reports about him in the media, but I have not watched any of his games before."
"But judging from the data, this young man should have outstanding characteristics."
"The physical confrontation in the Eredivisie is very intense. Young players must have outstanding qualities to perform well in such a competition."
"Judging from Kinash's performance, he does not have such ability yet. He only scored two goals in the Eredivisie last season."
"This young man got good enough data in the Eredivisie, but we can't use the data of the Eredivisie to predict his performance in the Eredivisie."
"He has nearly 20 minutes to show himself, so we don't have to rush to conclusions."
......
Amid cheers, Sun Yu ran to the field while checking the attribute panel.

Skills: extremely fast change of direction.
Overall evaluation: the leading player in the Dutch second division.
Dominant foot: left foot is like a fish in water, right foot is average.
Physical condition: good.
After an international match day, Sun Yu trained for at least eight hours a day, and his data was fatter.
Not only has the passing attribute been greatly improved, but even the right foot ability has changed from reluctant to average.
Although it is still far from the level of left and right foot balance, the right foot can at least be used.
De Boer not only replaced Sun Yu, but also conveyed a clear instruction-to attack the left side.
It's not that he entrusted Sun Yu with an important task, but there was really no better way.
If Kinash and El Ghazi could handle the opponent, the game wouldn't be a draw until now.
Since the beginning of the second half, the underdog Heracles in the Eredivisie has been determined to park the bus and try to take a point away from home.
Football games are like this. Once one team gives up the attack, it will become extremely difficult for the other team to score.
The moment Sun Yu came on the field, the system's prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! New task issued! ]
[Task name: First win of the first team. ]
[Task content: Win the victory for Ajax in the first appearance. ]
[Task reward: Based on a certain attribute, a skill is generated immediately. ]
There is a task!
This must be done with all your might!
Hearing the system's task, Sun Yu was much more excited than before, and almost ran all the way to his position.
All eleven players of the Heracles team returned to their own half and completely gave up the fight for the ball, just constantly disrupting the opponent and delaying time.
The Heracles team set up three lines of defense in the 30-meter area of their own side, and Ajax players kept passing the ball to pull the opponent's defense line.
In the 77th minute, Sun Yu touched the ball for the first time in the game.
The moment he stopped the ball, the opponent's right winger approached from behind, and the right back retreated three meters away, ready to double-team at any time.
Sun Yu led the ball to the left with his right foot, turned half a circle, passed the ball to Duarte in the middle, and then went down the left.
Duarte immediately stuffed the ball to the left, and Sun Yu accelerated immediately after getting the ball.
The Heracles right back did not rush up, but blocked the penalty area line, and his teammates were protecting him behind and in the corners of the penalty area.
Standard tortoise shell formation!
Sun Yu disguised himself as aThe new player looked left and right and immediately chose to force a breakthrough on the outside.
In the case of dense defense, this kind of kick is the most popular offensive method for defensive players.
Because the closer you dribble the ball to the baseline, the smaller the breakthrough angle.
The offensive player breaks through in a large circle, and the full-back runs in a small circle.
Once forced into a dead corner, the offensive player either forces a cross or stops the ball, and reluctantly passes the ball back to the wing under the opponent's pressure.
If the wing player kicks like this, as long as the opponent does not make a mistake, there is a high probability that he will have to reorganize the attack.
It will take several minutes to find another opportunity after this in and out.
Sun Yu forced to accelerate, and the right back of Heracles blocked his breakthrough line tightly, and the central defender behind him and the midfielder not far away were ready to fill in at any time.
But!
When the two sides were less than three meters away from the baseline, Sun Yu suddenly changed direction and gently flicked the ball.
The next moment!
The ball slipped behind the right back, and the opponent stretched his legs back in desperation.
But the right back didn't touch the ball, and lost his balance, and fell sideways on the grass.
Sun Yu took a step sideways, attracting the right center back, defensive midfielder and goalkeeper of Heracles.
He looked up and saw Milik suddenly exerting force and pushing another center back to the small penalty area line.
In his peripheral vision, a teammate was moving towards the middle of the penalty area.
It was El Ghazi!
Sun Yu didn't hesitate and decisively passed the ball to the middle!
On the right side of the middle of the penalty area, El Ghazi used his right foot to lead the ball to the right side of his body, half turned and shot low.
Seeing his movements, Sun Yu had a bad premonition.
This set of movements is too complicated!
This guy's left foot is not good...
Sure enough, El Ghazi's shot missed the goal ten meters away from the goal.
Amid a sigh, El Ghazi knelt on the grass with his head in his hands in regret.
El Ghazi is a Moroccan descendant born in the Netherlands. As a right winger, this guy is 1.89 meters tall, which makes him a little unsuitable to play on the wing.
If Robben or Depay did the same set of moves, they would definitely do it quickly.
But the same move is much more difficult for El Ghazi, who is tall and has long legs.
His core strength is average, and he feels like he is about to throw himself out after a set of moves.
Of course, nothing is absolute in the world, and being too tall does not necessarily mean that you can't play as a winger.
If his core strength is good enough and his skills are superb enough, after the set of moves just now, he can move farther laterally, and it will be more difficult to defend.
Van Persie is 1.87 meters tall and has played as a left winger for most of his career.
The Dutch striker's way of attacking the short right back is to shoot with one pass, and ordinary right backs often can't even reach the ball.
Ronaldo is in his peak state, and he is also very domineering in the left winger position. After continuous bicycle kicks, he can complete explosive shots with both feet.
El Ghazi's missed opportunity once again made Sun Yu realize a problem. He must work on his right foot.
If El Ghazi also had the ability to shoot and score with his left foot, the shot just now would have been a simple left-foot push.
This is also a problem that Sun Yu always encountered before. If this problem cannot be solved, the ceiling of his career will be the top scraps.
After Ajax's attack ended, Sun Yu high-fived El Ghazi and Milik respectively.
Milik also played an important role in the attack just now. He pushed the central defender to the small penalty area line, making it impossible for the opponent to block the shot and pushing the offside line forward by one meter.
Sun Yu felt that if Iniesta was replaced, he might be able to pass a close-range empty goal to El Ghazi directly, but he obviously couldn't see it at that moment.
Studio.
Barend said loudly: "What a pity, El Ghazi missed a great scoring opportunity!"
"In the attack just now, Sun Yu found a gap in the narrow space, he broke through the defense of Heracles, and gave El Ghazi on the right side of the penalty area a great scoring opportunity!"
"Marco, what do you think of Sun Yu's performance in this attack? Did his breakthrough make you shine?"
Van Basten said calmly: "Let's look at the attack just now in combination with the replay. Sun Yu's breakthrough direction looks like a rookie."
"In this case, choosing to break through from the outside, either has amazing explosive power or excellent crossing ability."
"From the breakthrough just now, this young man's explosive power has not reached that level."
"And from his data in the Dutch second division, a player who scored 9 goals rarely has excellent crossing ability."
"He chose to force a breakthrough, entirely to open up the distance between the right back and the defensive midfielder of Heracles.""At the moment he chose to change direction, the right back and the center back were almost on the same level, and the center back had no way to grab the ball at the first time."
"El Ghazi did not shoot at the first time. He obviously lacked confidence in his left foot. This is one of the many details that distinguish first-class players from good players."
"Similarly, Sun Yu did not choose to shoot with his right foot just now."
"But considering that this is his first appearance for the Ajax first team, it is understandable that he actively seeks cooperation with his teammates. El Ghazi has a better chance."
"From this attack, Sun Yu is very good at changing direction suddenly while running. This young man has a clear idea when playing football."
Former world-class striker Van Basten had a good first impression of Sun Yu, but he was very restrained in his evaluation.
Sun Yu looked up at the electronic timer. It was almost the 79th minute...
I have to work hard!
The game continued. The midfielder of the Heracles team lay on the grass with a painful face after a fight.
The referee paused the game. After the team doctor went up to talk to the player, he sprayed a spray on the player's knees, and the player was able to move freely immediately.
What a miracle drug!
After this delay, the game time came to the 82nd minute.
The game resumed, Ajax accelerated the offensive rhythm, and De Boer had already started to micro-manage on the sidelines.
Under his command, the football soon came to Sun Yu's feet.
After Sun Yu got the ball, he started immediately and went diagonally into the penalty area.
The right back and the defensive midfielder of the Heracles team immediately came up. After the experience of the last time, both of them paid great attention to Sun Yu.
Facing two defensive players in front and behind, Sun Yu suddenly made a fake move to cut in, and the defensive midfielder immediately ran a step towards the penalty area, trying to block Sun Yu's way.
At the moment he ran sideways, Sun Yu continued to dribble the ball towards the bottom line. After the right back found that he was the only one left, he did not dare to press forward and kept a two-meter space with Sun Yu.
Sun Yu suddenly accelerated forward, and cut inside without slowing down when the full-back accelerated, and entered the penalty area again.
Same recipe, same taste, but it still worked!
The coordination of this full-back is a bit average, and he was gone with a change of direction.
After Sun Yu broke into the penalty area, he decisively shot with his right foot. The central defender could not block it in time and could only watch the ball fly to the goal.
At the moment the ball flew to the goal, Sun Yu secretly shouted that it was not good.
This shot hit a half-high ball.
This position is the goalkeeper's favorite height.
There are flaws...
Sure enough, the Heracles goalkeeper blocked the ball out of the baseline at close range, then climbed up from the grass and yelled loudly, and his teammates rushed up to high-five him.
Let him pretend.
You wait!
There will be a time when you can't pretend anymore!
El Ghazi took a corner kick from the left, and Milik grabbed the first point under the double-team of two defensive players.
But the opponent's goalkeeper, after completing a good save, was in high spirits and lifted Milik's header over the crossbar.
Another corner kick!
El Ghazi kicked the corner kick to the back point, and Heracles successfully cleared the ball and headed the ball out of the baseline before Milik.
The third consecutive corner kick!
El Ghazi took the third corner kick, and the Heracles goalkeeper punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists, and their midfielder hooked the ball to the right.
On the right side of Heracles, their black winger dribbled the ball through the midfield.
At this moment, the away team's stands erupted in huge cheers.
Four Heracles players rushed to the front court at the same time, and their fans had already seen the scene of their team killing the Dutch giants in their minds.
But!
The next moment!
Just as the Heracles black winger observed his teammates' running positions, he suddenly felt someone hit him on the right side of his body.
Not good!
They're catching up!
The moment the black winger tried to protect the ball with his body, the opponent had already stretched out his leg and poked the ball to the feet of the Ajax defender.
This winger is not good!
Sun Yu complained in his heart, then turned and ran to the front court.
Ajax left back Boylesen took the ball and kicked the ball directly to the feet of midfielder Serero with a long pass.
Serero was placed in the midfield position by De Boer this season. He looked at the position of his teammates before receiving the ball. After receiving the ball, he adjusted it and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
At this moment!
There were only seven defensive players in Heracles' half, and Ajax also had seven players in the frontcourt.
The moment Sun Yu took the ball, all Ajax's offensive players moved to the right side of the penalty area.
One-on-one!
Isn't this Doku's one-on-one challenge to Wan.Bissaka's rhythm?
I can barely be a low-profile Doku, but the guy on the opposite side is worthy of being Wan.Bissaka?
Sun Yu kicked the ball off and immediately rushed into the penalty area diagonally.
The right back of Heracles rushed up, and Sun Yu immediately changed direction to the left.
The right back of Heracles turned around quickly, already a little trembling, but still caught up.
Sun Yu continued to change direction, and the opponent's right back could no longer keep up.
There was only one thing he could do now, that is, to let go of Sun Yu's right foot and stare at Sun Yu's left foot.
This time!
Sun Yu did not use his left foot to hit hard, but took a step towards the middle of the penalty area, shook off the angle, and decisively shot with his right foot to the lower left corner of the goal.
This move!
He has practiced nearly three thousand times in more than a month!
The football went straight to the lower left corner of the goal!
Sun Yu did not dare to burst out all his strength when shooting, and the speed of the shot was average.
But the angle was tricky enough!
The Heracles goalkeeper tried his best to save the ball, but Sun Yu's shot was like putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger!
What ability does he have?
How could he save this shot!
The ball went into the net!
At the moment when Sun Yu scored, the Amsterdam Stadium instantly erupted with crazy cheers from the home team fans.
After scoring the goal, Sun Yu ran 30 meters and slid down the sideline!
The winning goal in his debut!
The mission is accomplished!
The Ajax players rushed towards Sun Yu excitedly, patting his shoulders and back.
On the side of the court, De Boer ran nearly ten meters along the sideline, jumped, and punched hard in the air.
It seems that the first-team coach is under much more pressure than the U21. Stam was calm most of the time, but De Boer was obviously overwhelmed.
2:1!
Sun Yu looked up at the electronic timer - eighty-eight minutes.
The goal came at the right time!
Sun Yu's goal was equivalent to sending a critical illness notice to the Heracles team.
Today is a terminal illness!
Start a new life tomorrow!
