After sending Lee Rong-pak, Eindhoven's left has always had problems.
The veteran Leizig has long lost his courage. In the last national derby, his defense against Yang Yang seemed to have failed.
Zhou Zhonggang just played in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout, and lost to Lyon 4-0, which caused morale in Eindhoven to be very low. They challenged Ajax in this game, and they did not dare to care.
Hiddink arranged for England left-back Michael Bauer on the left to replace Reziger.
The 26-year-old English player made his debut in Everton and later went to the Glasgow Rangers. He moved to Eindhoven this summer, but he has always been Reziger's substitute.
Michael Ball, Ales, Addo and Michael Lame, Eindhoven's line of defense is not their strongest combination, and it seems that there are many problems.
Judging from the current performance of the two teams in the Netherlands, this game will undoubtedly determine the ownership of the final champion.
Ajax fought at home and launched an aggressive offensive after the opening.
The trident composed of Pinal, Charlie Stasi and Yang Yang actively suppressed the defense line of Eindhoven.
Yaya Touré, De Jong and Sneijder were behind to suppress them.
This style of play by Ajax this season has extremely strong dominance and lethality in the Dutch League. The team's offensive firepower has obviously been greatly released. The goals have also created a new career high, which is obviously related to the team's unrestrained play.
After the opening, Sneijder and Yaya Touré were very active, with two long shots in the first ten minutes, threatening the goal of Eindhoven, showing Ajax ’s strong desire to win and offensive Firepower.
Eindhoven was forced to retreat after the opening.
But with the deepening of the game, Ajax has gradually penetrated the defensive weakness of Eindhoven.
In the seventeenth minute, Yang Yang suddenly shifted to the left side of the penalty area and suddenly started after winning the ball.
This shot hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area, making Yang Yang very depressed.
Subsequently, Yang Yang's running position in the former field began to become more erratic.
On the left, middle and right roads, wherever there is a gap, he will appear.
Not only does he use the ball to create a threat, but he will also actively create opportunities for his teammates.
In the twenty-sixth minute, Ajax's most threatening attack appeared.
After Yang Yang took the ball in the middle, he led the ball horizontally to the left, and after passing to Pinar, he turned around and quickly inserted the bottom line diagonally.
Pinar sent a straight-footed ball into his heart and gave it to Yang Yang in front of the baseline.
After Yang Yang scored the ball, on the ground facing one-on-one with Michael Lame's defense, he dexterously avoided his tackle from the bottom line, took the ball near the penalty area, and then reversed the triangle to the left of the penalty spot.
Yaya Touré plugged into the back row and made a direct anger shot, the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
The Ivorian was so excited that the whole person rushed to Yang Yang, knelt in front of Yang Yang, held up his right foot, and used his jersey to help him wipe the grass debris on the boot to show that he assisted him. Grateful.
Fans of the Amsterdam Arena are shouting their names.
A one-to-zero lead temporarily, this will definitely be a nightmare for Eindhoven.
…………
…………
Although Hiddink's team was one goal behind, it did not take the initiative.
Obviously, they know very well that counterattack is their biggest advantage, and they will only die faster when they attack.
And they are not without opportunities.
In the thirty-first minute, Eindhoven played a sharp counterattack, Farfan formed a single-handed, but Stellenborg decisively abandoned the door to attack, and fell first to save the ball.
In the thirty-sixth minute, Yang Yang rushed into the penalty area again. When he kicked the goal, Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez dialed it and hit the post again. He still failed to score.
Yang Yang's luck tonight has been really impressive for two consecutive mid-columns.
However, Ajax's offensive momentum is getting smoother and smoother.
Five minutes later, Pinal and Maxwell formed a match on the left. Brazil's left defender sent a precise cross. Charlie Steaz's header was close to the goal and was even missed.
This also made many people worry, for fear that there would be a leak under Ajax's mad attack.
Fortunately, in the first half stoppage time, Yang Yang took the ball on the right and faced Michael Ball. When he broke one-on-one, he was fouled by the opponent. The referee gave a chance to attack the ball on the right of the front court.
Yang Yang's cross is a must-have in the Ajax team. The free kick in this position is naturally taken by him.
He also sent a precise pass, but Charlie Steaz's condition was obviously not good. When he grabbed a position in the penalty area, he did not grab Ales and was released by the Brazilian central defender.
The ball did not fly far and landed outside the penalty area. Sneijder followed up and was another anger shot.
The ball was blasted into PSV again.
Gomez caught the ball from the goal for the second time.
Two to zero!
…………
…………
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Eindhoven once counterattacked, but Ajax also quickly turned back.
Yang Yang teamed up with Yaya Toure and Pinar's consecutive two-on-one in the middle and hit the left foot in the penalty area. The angle was too positive and was saved by Gomez and failed to pose a threat.
"Yang Yang didn't seem to bring shooting boots tonight."
"Two mid-pillars, and the wonderful cooperation of this foot just now, but I didn't make a good angle at the goal."
"I have to say that he is still very eye-catching, but his luck tonight is obviously not good."
The development of the situation seems to confirm this.
Ronald Koeman replaced Nicklas Bentner with the poorly performing Charlie Steas tonight.
The tactical role of the Greek center is very obvious. Ajax needs to rely on him no matter whether it is the league or the Champions League.
Bentner was very active after playing, and actively created opportunities in the frontcourt.
As soon as the Danish center is active, Eindhoven's defensive attention will inevitably be shared with Yang Yang. Yang Yang will have more freedom, but he has never been able to make a goal.
Until the seventy-first minute, Sneijder directly into the penalty area, Nicklas Bentner volleyed.
Eindhoven's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez once again made a wonderful save, flying to save the ball.
But the ball did not fly far, but landed in front of Yang Yang on the right of the front of the small penalty area.
At this time, what Yang Yang needs to do is very simple, push with his right foot.
The ball was just sent into the goal by him!
After more than an hour of tossing, twice in the center post, and several shots, he failed to score a goal, but it came so vaguely!
Yang Yang was also speechless, shaking his head with a wry smile and spread his arms to accept the congratulations from his teammates.
Sometimes, goals are so strange.
When you think you are in good shape and performing well and want to score a wonderful goal, it will not let you in.
But when you are not ready, it suddenly appears in front of you.
This is a very ordinary, unsightly, missed goal.
But it is also a goal!
Three to zero, Ajax temporarily led Eindhoven.
Subsequently, Ronald Coman replaced Yang Yang with Ryan Babel.
Without Yang Yang's threat in the frontcourt, Eindhoven's counterattack seemed to be more aggressive, and they did not give up their efforts. In the 90th minute, Farfan scored a goal.
Ajax beat Eindhoven 3-1 at home with goals from Yaya Touré, Sneijder and Yang Yang.
…………
…………
The 28th round of the Dutch League ends.
Ajax beat Eindhoven 3-1 at home.
With six rounds left in the league, everyone felt that Ajax had basically locked the league title.
But this is obviously not what everyone is most concerned about.
Since the winter break, Ajax has led the way. It has always been a favorite to win the championship. Winning the championship is something everyone expects. There is not much suspense.
On the contrary, Eindhoven's recession to the second half was indeed a surprise.
After all, in the group stage, they were no worse than AC Milan, but in the second half they lost to Lyon with a total score of 0 to 5, which has to be said to be a very elusive thing.
Not only does the league champion have no suspense, but even the shooter king has no suspense.
With the goals of this round, Yang Yang scored 35 goals in the 28th round of the league, which made him 37 goals away from idol Van Basten, leaving only two goals away.
Huntelaar, who ranked second, scored 27 goals, far away from Yang Yang.
Van Basten is a legend, Yang Yang himself has no doubt about this.
In an interview with the media, Yang Yang said that he has not yet qualified to compare with Van Basten, because the goal of the Dutch League does not represent anything. He has not proved it in the top league like Van Basten. Yourself.
But he also said that he will do his best to fight for more goals.
Van Basten, the head coach of the Dutch national team, also said in an interview with the media that he is very optimistic about Yang Yang and believes he can continue to score because there are still six rounds of league games and he can score more goals.
"I called Yang Yang and I congratulated him on his excellent performance this season, but I also reminded him not to care, there are still six rounds in the league, as well as the Champions League and the Dutch Cup, I hope he can maintain his current This status. "
"I also told him not to compare with anyone, just compare with himself, and try to make himself better than yesterday, he can do miracles."
"Beyond me is just the beginning."
After playing Eindhoven, in the next six rounds of Ajax, only Alkmaar is considered strong, and Ajax is still at home.
With the current style and state of Ajax, and Yang Yang ’s outstanding performance, he can score more goals, not only surpassing Van Basten, but even directly aiming at the 42-ball goal of Ajax ’s historical legend .
Even the highest record in the Dutch League, 43 goals.
