After getting a taste of success, Yang Yang began creating danger down the right flank time and again.
Whenever he got the ball on the right, he immediately made a judgment. If there was an opportunity, he would charge forward with the ball and use his individual dribbling ability to create a threat. Otherwise, he would send crosses in from the wing, repeatedly delivering the ball into the penalty area. If that failed, he would pass back to his teammates and reorganize the attack.
With Yang Yang's tactical adjustment, Ajax's attacks in the final third became incredibly fierce. The right flank, in particular, had completely become the launching point of Ajax's offense. Whether it was Krohn or Maduro, they frequently sent the ball to the right for Yang Yang.
This largely aligned with Van Basten's tactical thinking. Yang Yang would create threats on the right and draw defensive attention, while Babel on the left and Fred Benson through the middle pushed forward in attack. Krohn and Maduro were responsible for the second wave of offense.
In the thirty-eighth minute, Yang Yang dropped back on the right to receive the ball again. After pulling away from Reo Ramos, who had moved up to defend, he spotted an opening and swiftly struck a Long Cross with his right foot, sending the ball over the opposing defense and into the penalty area.
Fred Benson quickly burst forward from deep, caught up with the ball, and squared it to the left. Babel arrived and calmly slotted it home.
Three-nil.
Ajax's wave after wave of attacks had once again breached Vitesse Second Team's goal.
And no one on the pitch was more excited than Babel.
Having scored a Brace in this match, he could finally hold his head high again and restore everyone's confidence in
