As Yang Yang said before, confidence is kicked out from game to game.
After defeating Arsenal two to one at home, Ajax obviously became more confident and more motivated.
At the very least, everyone has seen the team's hopes of going out of the UEFA Champions League group stage and even going further.
The strongest opponent of the group is Arsenal, but the second match between Ajax and the Gunners is scheduled for the final round. Before then, the situation in the group may have stabilized.
Therefore, as long as Ajax continues to maintain the current momentum, as long as there are no more mistakes, and the last round of the away game against Arsenal, Ajax will be able to qualify as the group as long as it holds the draw.
According to the UEFA Champions League system, group first and group second, that is two different treatments.
Therefore, after defeating Arsenal, Ajax players all changed their fighting spirit.
...
In the first six rounds of the league, Ajax scored 16 points with five wins and one draw, ranking first in the Dutch league table.
This was followed by Feyenoord and Valvik, five wins and one loss, and then Alkmaar and Eindhoven, who scored 13 points, of which Eindhoven was the most disadvantaged this season.
Hiddink's team sold Van Bommel, and at the end of August, before the transfer market closed, it sold two South Korea's leading players, Park Ji-sung and Li Rong-piao. The former went to Manchester United for four million pounds, the latter transferred Will Tottenham.
The loss of three tiger generals in a summer, Eindhoven ’s competitiveness is greatly affected, plus the team did not introduce strong aid in time, this season ’s Eindhoven started very unfavorably at the start, and the state is relatively downturn. There is no improvement, I am afraid it is difficult to shake Ajax's rule.
After playing in the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week and in the seventh round of the Dutch League in the weekend, Eindhoven challenged Heerenveen away, but the goal was conceded in the first 16 minutes, but then adjusted to get three goals in a row.
However, in the last half of the second half, Heerenveen pulled back a goal and once pressed Eindhoven to force this Dutch armor force to be very embarrassed. If Heerenveen main center Huntelaar missed due to injury, Ein Huo Wen will lose a fiasco.
After the game, Hiddink himself was frank, and the team did encounter a crisis.
The situation of Van Gaal ’s Alkmaar was also not very good. At home against Nijmegen, he led twice and was equalized twice by his opponent. Finally, Avila Deze scored a lore and defeated his opponent three to two at home.
Feyenoord's situation is even worse.
Elvin Coman ’s team had a good momentum, but in this round they lost to Utrecht 1-3 away. Just transferred from Alkmaar to Utrecht center Nellis staged a hat Trick, Kuyt's performance is sluggish.
Ajax's situation is also not good.
The reason why several strong teams are sluggish is one of the important reasons is that they played in the Champions League in the middle of the week.
A week of double matches, a series of hard fights, and the consumption level of professional football matches are also a major challenge for athletes.
After experiencing consecutive goals, Yang Yang finally appeared a goal shortage.
Ajax attacked the collective misfire in the frontcourt, but unexpectedly, De Jong stood up.
This has always been a full-time defensive player and a late man in the midfield as a macho, but this game used twice to prove his tactical value. Sneijder and Yang Yang each contributed One assist.
And this victory of Ajax also made the Dutch domestic media give quite high affirmation.
All fans know that there is no player, or which team can maintain a good state for a long time, there will always be ups and downs, the players are the same, so are the teams.
But when evaluating the core competitiveness of a team, the key point is that when the team's core players fluctuate, does the team have anyone else who can come forward.
Feyenoord obviously didn't, so he lost. Alkmaar and Eindhoven are not too bad. Only Ajax, all the offensive players in the frontcourt clearly lack state, even Yang Yang shows Not excited enough.
This point is understood by everyone.
Playing Arsenal on Wednesday and welcoming Sparta Rotterdam on Saturday. There is too little time left for the Ajax players to take a break. Yang Yang is more excited against Arsenal and has some status when playing the league. Landslides are taken for granted.
However, in the case of a combination of attack in the frontcourt, De Jong's scored twice saved the team.
After the game, all Dutch domestic media reporters thought that Ajax was the most championship team in the Netherlands this season.
After playing the seventh round of the Dutch League, Ajax continued to lead the standings.
Yang Yang was behind Alkmaar's Avila Deze with a one-ball disadvantage.
But the season is still so long, and the battle for the striker king has just begun.
What's more, Yang Yang has always been good at the backhaul.

…………
Entering October, ushered in a two-week national team match day.
The Chinese team came to Europe for training, and all the international players were recruited to join the team to prepare for the World Cup next summer.
This time, Alihan recruited all outstanding players in the World Youth Championship, including domestic players such as Cui Peng, Zhao Xuri and Lu Lin, as well as many outstanding players in the domestic league.
Yang Yang also had a rare opportunity to meet Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi and others, and it was naturally a hot chat.
He can clearly feel the new changes brought about by the study abroad to the national team.
The first week was mainly technical and tactical exercises and training, followed by two consecutive warm-up matches. The opponents were Germany and Spain. They lost in both games, losing Germany one-to-one and Spain one-to-three.
Among them, Yang Yang scored a goal in the warm-up match against Spain.
It should be said that the results of the warm-up match are not surprising, the gap between the strength of the Chinese team and the strong team is still very obvious.
This also awakened many overly optimistic media and fans in the country. The World Youth Championship is just a youth team event.
Yang Yang can carry the National Youth team alone to play in the World Youth Championship, but he can't carry the national team alone to play in the World Cup.
He is not a superman wearing underpants!
The national team gave high marks to these two warm-up matches.
Losing is sure, but sometimes losing is also a gain.
Against Germany, they lost the game, but the defense was well organized. When playing Spain, although the whole game was subject to people, but in the case of one goal behind in the first half, there was once a wave of colorful offense. Yang Yang also seized the opportunity to equalize the score, but only conceded two goals in the second half.
When communicating internally, many internationals who have studied abroad have also deeply felt the disparity.
The strength, technical and tactical level of players, and even all aspects of logistics, the gap between the Chinese team and the European team is really too large, and there are growing signs.
This is not to say that Chinese football is going backwards. After all, with so many overseas players, the progress brought by it can be seen.
More is the technical and tactical concept of European football developed too fast.
Even Arihan himself felt that in the past two years, the technical and tactical level of European football has really advanced by leaps and bounds.
Yang Yang has a profound experience.
Whether players can play in the Champions League is two levels, and whether the head coach can lead the team to play in the Champions League is also two levels.
The fierce and almost cruel competition forced all teams to study and restrain their opponents in all their polarities, and the technical and tactical level naturally developed and improved rapidly.
More importantly, in recent years, European football has also emerged fresh blood like Mourinho, Benitez, Ronald Coman and Pellegrini, each with a distinct Different technical and tactical styles, through the Champions League platform, blend with each other, compete with each other, learn from and promote each other, and the level is naturally changing with each passing day.
In fact, China's neighbors Japan and South Korea are not unaware of this.
They are all actively cooperating with the European professional league teams, sending some outstanding domestic young players of 15 or 16 years old to the European club youth training camp for training, the purpose is naturally to make these excellent players can get better development of.
Without saying anything else, just say Yang Yang himself.
At the current level of Asian football, Yang Yang went back to play and did not need to do his best to be competent, and even performed very well, but it only took half a year. When he returned to the European League, he would find that he could not keep up. Too.
To put it bluntly, football relies on training and competition.
Training and competition day after day, year after year.
Practice one day, practice one day, do not practice ten days a day.
Therefore, for the young teammates of the national team, Yang Yang will always have only one opinion, that is, seize all opportunities and go abroad to study abroad if there is an opportunity.
It may not necessarily be the four most famous leagues, it can also be the Ligue 1, Portuguese Super, Dutch, Belgian, or even the leagues of Austria, Switzerland and other countries, as long as they can play the game, they should be Come out bravely.

Interestingly, Spain beat the Chinese team 3-1 in the warm-up match, but was in an awkward disadvantage in the European qualifiers.
Due to the unsatisfactory previous game, Aragones ’team failed to get the direct promotion right and was forced to play in the play-offs, which caused an uproar in Spain. Countless media and fans flocked to attack. Aragones should blame and resign.
Captain Raul called for postponing the league and making every effort to prepare for the playoffs.
"Now, all Spain knows clearly that the national team is the first. We have no retreat in the first round of the play-off in November. In order to focus the national team on preparing for the game, the Football Association and the Professional League should come up with strategies as soon as possible Postpone the league! "
Raul's appeal has also been unanimously endorsed by many Spanish internationals, professionals and fans.
Even the Football Association and Professional League have expressed that they will seriously consider Raul's proposal.
Absence of the World Cup is an unimaginable disaster for Spain.
Yang Yang, sitting in the house of Oude Kerk with the mood to read gossip, watched the news in the newspaper and smiled happily.
Who made the Chinese team advance in advance?
