Away from Eindhoven 2-0, Ajax shocked the entire Dutch football.
After playing in the nine-round league, Ajax, with its recent two-game winning streak, also quickly rose to the sixth position, scoring fifteen points, just behind the second-placed PSV Eindhoven. Seven points.
Feyenoord had another 4-0 victory this time, reversing Eindhoven and leading the Dutch standings with 25 points.
At the same time, Feyenoord's two strikers, Kalau and Kuyt, were among the top two scorers with nine goals and eight goals respectively.
Heerenveen centers such as Huntelaar and Heiselink are tied for third with six goals.
Yang Yang has scored four goals so far this season and has performed better than last season, but he is still ranked in the top ten of the shooter list.
Even so, Yang Yang has four assists in addition to four goals, one goal and one assist in the UEFA Champions League, and one goal in the European Super Cup. So far this season, he is an Ajax player. The number one scorer in the tournament, with a total of six goals, has exceeded the total number of goals scored by the first team in the first half of last season.
Although the data can't fully reflect the performance of the players, it has proved Yang Yang's progress to some extent.
More importantly, Yang Yang's goals directly brought Ajax five wins, each goal is very important.
With the second score against Eindhoven, Yang Yang once again made everyone clearly aware of his importance to Ajax, and also promoted his reputation and influence to a new level.
The next morning after playing Eindhoven, before the training class, Detok Most gathered twenty or thirty Ajax fans. Many of them were wearing Yang Yang ’s No. 11 jersey and playing Under the banner, watch the trained fans outside the barbed wire of the training ground.
It was the first time for Yang Yang to have fans in support.
It was also the first time after the two star players Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic left.
…………
…………
Ali Van Eden, managing director of Ajax ’s board of directors, accompanied Van Basten, head of the Dutch national team, from the Amsterdam Arena to Detok Most.
As the national team coach, Van Basten's coaching results are also quite good.
In the German World Cup qualifiers, the Netherlands first defeated the Czech Republic 2-0, then they drew away Macedonia 2-2 away and won Finland 3-1 at home. It can be said that Van Basten's national team coached a handover A satisfactory answer.
Today, he came to Detok Most, just to check the status of Ajax players.
Accompanied by Van Eden, Van Basten saw this group of enthusiastic fans when he stepped into Detok Most.
This somewhat surprised both Van Basten and Van Eden.
"Unexpectedly, Yang Yang gradually began to be loved by fans."
When referring to Yang Yang, Van Basten couldn't help thinking of the scene when he first saw Yang Yang last summer.
Van Basten is still very concerned about this young man who has performed very well under his own leadership.
"The team does need such a person now." Ali Van Eden said with a smile.
Van Basten nodded slightly.
"We are more worried about the recognition of local fans for him. You know, in the past years, our leaders have been local players from our youth training."
Judging from UEFA's rules, Yang Yang is certainly Ajax's youth training, but if strictly defined, he is not.
Even Yang Yang is not an Almere youth player.
The reason is simple. So far, he has only been in the Netherlands for two years.
Ajax's flag bearers have always been from the young academy, from Cruyff to Bogkamp to Cruywitt.
Before the dispute between Ajax's captains, Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic could not hold on, the club management chose Van der Vaart without hesitation because he was his own.
But the situation is completely different now.
Today, Ajax has more and more foreign players. Although local players still dominate the locker room, they have been weakened a lot. Especially after van der Vaart left the team, there has been no new generation of flag bearers.
Sneijder was originally a suitable candidate, but his character and position on the court restricted him.
Ryan Babel, who was originally optimistic about many people, is now completely covered by Yang Yang's light.
"Time to change, Van Gaal's changes have changed a lot of things, brought a new direction for our team, but also let us see clearly the development of the new era of European professional league."
Van Basten smiled softly, "Over the years, Qi Wu, Litmanen, Escud and Garasek have all served as captains of the team, and they have all led the team well. This proves that it is a good thing to follow the trend of the times and make some changes appropriately. "
Ali Van Eden clearly agrees with this statement, but ...
"This kind of thing still has to take its time."
Van Basten frowned, and soon wanted to understand.
Like all the big clubs, Ajax has a strong enough background. The stars that have emerged in history are not unknown, there are many legends, and many of them have a certain influence in the media field.
The most typical is the war of words between Van Gaal and Cruyff last season. The former is in control of the club, while the latter is in control of public opinion.
"That ’s right, take your time, it ’s not an overnight thing to be a good flag bearer, at least he has to prove that he has such strength, has such a responsible partner, and most importantly, he has such a leader. force."
The leader of a team is not just casually thinking about it. If you do n’t have enough strength, you ca n’t do it. If you do n’t have enough support, you ca n’t do it if you do n’t have any support.
It is like Van Bommel, the captain of Eindhoven, may not be the strongest in the team, but his leadership is definitely recognized.
This is also due to the long-term training of Eindhoven, which in turn has formed him into a leading player.
"Based on the current situation, I'm afraid I will contact Laiola again soon," Van Eden said bitterly.
For the last time Yang Yang renewed his contract, he did not have to deal with Lai Ola, which was a nightmare.
Judging from the current situation, with Yang Yang's performance, Ajax may have to put the renewal on the agenda again.

"Why did you arrange a five-to-five small group confrontation at the end of the training?"
At the training ground, Van Basten curiously asked Ronald Coleman and Luther Carol at the training ground.
In terms of coaching, he is a novice and interested in many things.
Generally speaking, halfway through the season, the team will not arrange a fierce group confrontation, mainly because of fear of injury.
It is true to train with actual combat standards, but the premise is to effectively avoid player injuries.
There are more than 20 players in the first team, and there are two or three competitors in each position. In this small-scale group confrontation, one may be injured if you are not careful, and then it will be clear who is going on. What?
Therefore, Van Basten was curious about this.
"The atmosphere in the dressing room is very good. Although there is competition within the players, the control is in place. The local players and foreign players get along well. The atmosphere in the team is even better than last season, and the players have a sense of trust between each other. Very good. "Ronald Coman explained.
"Yang Yang did not participate in the pre-season training, and our team has a lot of new players. Small-scale group confrontation can effectively increase the player's cooperation. The players have also responded well."
Van Basten nodded again and again, but vaguely figured out another meaning.
The confrontation between Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart was a hidden danger in the team's locker room in the past two seasons. Even the interior of the locker room was divided into the local school led by Van der Vaart and Ibrahimimo. Foreigners headed by Vicky.
But with the departure of the two stars, the interior of the Ajax locker room became harmonious instead.
As early as last season, Van Basten heard that Yang Yang is a foreign player, an iron buddy with Ibrahimovic and others, but has a good relationship with local players such as Van der Vaart and Sneijder. It seems that this round has huge benefits in the face of Yang Yang.
"This kid's basic skills have become very solid, and his strength has improved a lot." Van Basten praised with a smile.
Luther Carol laughed: "He recently also offered to strengthen his strength training, and he went to the gym one hour in advance every day."
"Oh?" Van Basten showed his face, which tested the player's perseverance and determination.
Pity.
If Yang Yang has not played for the Chinese national team, Van Basten really considered recruiting him into the Dutch national team, and then formed a double wing with Robben, then the Netherlands' frontcourt offensive will be greatly improved than now.
Unfortunately, he chose his own country.

When the team's training was over and Yang Yang walked out of the field breathlessly, he saw Van Basten waving at him with a smile on the sidelines.
"Hey, Marco, I haven't seen you for a long time." Yang Yang walked over immediately.
"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while." Van Basten looked at Yang Yang's body with interest and nodded. "Well, there is progress, but it's not enough. A strong body can make you more proficient on the court . "
"I know, I have been working hard." Yang Yang laughed.
"I heard that, work hard, now there is a good opportunity before you, you have to work hard to seize it."
Yang Yang vaguely heard Van Basten's meaning, he also knew his situation in the team, and the current status of Ajax.
In fact, he really didn't think so much, but if he really got there, it would be quite good for him.
Then Yang Yang chatted with Van Basten again and asked some questions in training and competition. Van Basten also knew everything.
As a legendary star of the past, many times he can solve the problems that plagued Yang Yang for a long time.
It was hard to say goodbye to Van Basten. Yang Yang did not go directly back to the dressing room, but walked to the corner of the corner for a half-hour basic training alone.
By the time he returned to the dressing room, it was already empty.
Yang Yang was also accustomed to this. When he came out after taking a shower and opened the cabinet to change clothes, he found an unread text message on his mobile phone, which was Su Xiaomei from China.
"Happy birthday, Yang Yang!"
After Yang Yang read it, his heart was warm, and then he remembered that it was his birthday today.
He couldn't help laughing.
