On December 27th, after Christmas, the 17th round of the Dutch League was ushered in.
Ajax welcomed Groningen at home.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Yang Yang scored a goal for Ajax.
And after the Yibian battle, Ajax played a round of mad attacks, scoring four goals in the opening fifteen minutes.
Sneijder ushered in a comprehensive outbreak with three assists, respectively helping Yaya Touré, Charisteas and Pinar to score goals, and he also received an assist from Yang Yang in the 56th minute and scored A ball.
In the end, Ajax beat Groningen five to zero at home.
In this round, Eindhoven beat Nijmegen 2-0 away, and Feyenoord beat Alkmaar 2-0 at home.

On the 30th of December, the eighteenth round of the Dutch League.
Ajax challenged Heerenveen away.
In the opening ten minutes, Yang Yang forcibly made a corner kick on the right and Sneijder assisted Heitinga with a header.
Subsequently, Ajax continued to control the situation on the court.
In the 42nd minute, an assist from Yaya Touré let Yang Yang score!
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Yaya Toure opened the header in the four minutes of the opening, ferryed a header from the front of the penalty area, Yang Yang inserted a goal and scored for Ajax to go to the next city.
But after sixty minutes, Heerenveen scored two goals, and Huntelaar scored the first goal.
In the 87th minute, Sneijder assisted Heitinga again and scored a header, which was still a corner kick.
In the end, Ajax beat Heerenveen four to two away.
Yang Yang staged a two-time score and scored his 22nd goal this season.
In the eighteen rounds of the league, with 22 goals, Yang Yang's performance was significantly higher than last season.
But Huntelaar also scored 17 goals in the first eighteen rounds, immediately after Yang Yang.
Kuyt also ushered in this round, staged a hat trick and scored the fourteenth goal.
As for Avila Deze, after scoring consecutive goals in the beginning, it quickly ushered in a trough, and so far only scored 13 goals.

After the eighteenth round of the league, the Dutch League ushered in a two-week winter truce.
Ajax is still the same as in previous years, going south to Portugal to train, but Yang Yang took leave for two days to go out to participate in Nike's World Cup advertising shooting.
At the same time, there were other stars under Nike's command, which made Yang Yang know more friends.
During the winter break, Lai Ola also sent good news one after another.
After half a month of negotiations, Laiola finally negotiated Armani ’s endorsement contract. Yang Yang will serve as one of Armani ’s global advertising spokespersons in the next three years, alongside Shevchenko and other top stars.
And this endorsement contract will bring Yang Yang three million euros in revenue each year, which is enough to see Armani's optimism about the Chinese market, but both parties have agreed to keep the secret confidential and did not disclose the specific amount.
After signing Armani, Laiola showed his long-sleeved good dance, and soon signed three endorsement contracts for Yang Yang's Hyflux shampoo, Coca-Cola and McDonald's.
Each endorsement fee is three million euros per year, but the specific endorsement fee for confidentiality remains.
Whether it is Armani, Haifeisi, Coca-Cola and McDonald's, are eager to advertise during the Summer World Cup, especially China, which has once again rushed into the World Cup finals, so Yang Yang specially invited two days off to Italy to shoot Armani Advertising, and then concentrate on staying in Portugal to prepare for the war.
After the team completed a week and a half of training in Portugal and returned to Amsterdam, Hifis, Coca-Cola and McDonald's only arranged for people to come to Amsterdam to shoot advertisements.
Basically, it's very simple. The fastest is McDonald's. It's one-time, and it's done in less than an hour.
But the money will be paid in installments one after another!
Counting Nike's endorsements, there are a total of five endorsement contracts, 15 million euros per year.
This is definitely an astronomical figure that Yang Yang dare not imagine.
With this large sum of money, he can almost be said to be lying at home, eating and drinking forever.

At dusk, Almere, the fifth exit of the a6 highway.
A Fiat slowly drove down the highway, heading north, through the Automobile City and the villa area, and came to the skate park.
Parked in the parking lot on the roadside, Yang Yang stepped into the skate park.
It's been a long time since I came back, and here has become some.
I heard that the city government intends to make this a tourist attraction, especially the skateboarding area in the middle.
The wall is still there, and it still looks so broken.
Yang Yang stepped forward and reached out to gently rub the potholes and cracks on the wall, each of which was full of his memories.
Three years ago, he was here to make up his mind that he must play in the professional league.
At that time, he didn't even think about what he would do in the future, but simply liked to play football. He wanted to prove to everyone that he could play football.
For him at that time, Ajax was already an unreachable paradise, and every player who played for Ajax was a superstar in the world, but hearing the name would make him excited for a long time.
He still clearly remembered that he was really excited when he passed the Amsterdam Arena for the first time.
At that time, his biggest dream was to one day be able to play a ball in such a magnificent stadium, so that more than 50,000 fans cheered him.
But now, the cheers from the 50,000 fans in the stands seemed to make him numb.
Every game he received countless cheers from fans in the stands, they will scream his name, will boil for his every move, crazy for each of his goals.
Yang Yang slowly touched every crack and hole in the wall, slowly retreated back to the bench, and sat down.
This is where Van Gaal sits most often. He sits here every time, silently watching Yang Yang train.
At this moment, he was sitting here, as if he had seen how he practiced against the wall.
He wanted to get back the feeling that year.
...
"Why come back here?"
In the super training ground, Lao Bing asked Yang Yang faintly.
Yang Yang smiled gently and shook his head, "I don't know, just ... I want to come back and see."
"It's that simple?" Lao Bing didn't believe it.
Yang Yang shook his head again, of course it was not that simple.
After a long time, he said a word gently.
"I was stunned by those 15 million euros."
It's not that Yang Yang hasn't seen money, but he really hasn't seen money so quickly.
Fifteen million euros, it will cost more than 100 million yuan to convert into RMB.
Sign a few words and shoot a few advertisements, and the money will come, just like dreaming.
"You know, I've never been a person who is very pursued in material life, and I don't have the habit of squandering. This money is enough for me to live a lifetime comfortably, but playing football is such a hard thing ... … "
Yang Yang felt he needed to think about it.
Lao Bing did not speak, because no one could help him in this matter, only himself.
Fifteen million euros, this is indeed an astronomical figure, enough for ordinary people to spend a lifetime.
When anyone suddenly gets such a fortune, they will inevitably have a slack heart.
This is human nature.
But this is another natural enemy of professional players.
Yang Yang believes that there are countless predecessors who, when not tempted, must also be ambitious to work hard to make themselves the most outstanding players in the world.
But most people are on the way to the top of the pyramid, and they are pulled by the temptation.
They may be more talented than Ronaldo, their strength may be better than Zidane, they may even be more handsome than Beckham, but in the end, it is Ronaldo and Zida who can stand at the top of the pyramid Ney and Beckham.
The road to success for professional players is a road full of all kinds of temptations.
Hard work is just the most basic thing. To succeed, you need to make yourself stronger and more determined.
Yang Yang was really full of confidence in himself, and his goal was very firm.
But in the most recent period, he took time off to shoot advertisements and contacted many people and many things. He signed several contracts and got astronomical figures that he spent all his life squandering. He found himself starting to shake a little.
There is a person in the subconscious who is telling him that in fact he can relax a little, and can make himself no longer so hard.
This is definitely not a good sign.
Absolutely not!
Florentino is right, modern professional football makes players less pure, and more and more temptations for professional players, which requires Yang Yang to stop all the time. Watch yourself.
...
In the winter, it gets dark quickly.
The park is getting colder.
Yang Yang always sat on the long chair, motionless, as if asleep.
In this weather, no one would go out, and there was no sound around him. He seemed to be integrated into the surrounding environment and into the darkness.
Suddenly, the street lights in the park light up.
The sudden light made Yang Yang open his eyes, and the whole person stood up from the bench.
He walked again to the mottled and broken wall, gently rubbing the cracks and holes in the top, and he breathed heavily.
This is not a war that will end overnight.
This war will carry through his entire career, as long as he has not retired in a day, he will fight it to the end.
This is also a war that belongs to him alone, no one can help him.
Only by defeating it will he have the opportunity to climb higher and go further.
If he loses, he will be like many Fang Zhongyong in the past and become the object that everyone will always regret.
He can't afford to lose!
Therefore, he must win!
"Lao Bing, I didn't find out until now that it turned out that too much money came too fast, and it was also a very painful thing." Yang Yang teased himself.
In the super training ground, I can't see Lao Bing's expression at this time. I don't know if he understands this humor, and whether he will laugh.
But his next sentence reflected his dissatisfaction with the penman.
"Hurry up and go back to practice!"
Yang Yang didn't think so, but walked out of the skate park with a smile.
