The third update.
The update time has been unstable recently, and everyone is still very supportive, which touched me. I am also very pleased. I promised to update the promises before going out to do business. At least I did it, and the recommendation votes were not arrears. However, this time I went out, I delayed some work time and saved a lot less. I will work wholeheartedly. I will see everyone's support in my eyes and remember it in my heart. I won't say anything else, and there will be more explosions in the future. We can prove our feelings by actions.

0:1
A score that wasn't particularly cowardly when letting Ajax leave Milan City.
However, looking at the whole game, Ajax was almost suppressed in front of AC Milan!
The huge gap in overall combat effectiveness is obvious to all.
Qin Xiong sat on the bench for 90 minutes. He was not bored, he was not anxious, and he was not disappointed.
Perhaps the team failed to escape from San Siro and would not be happy.
There are still some gains from the competition.
Watching videos and watching games are completely different things.
The video will never give you a full-scene view for a long time, you cannot see the overall situation, and you will not be able to clearly understand the overall situation of the game.
AC Milan gives Qin Xiong the feeling: strong, very strong, and unprecedentedly strong!
The temperament shown by AC Milan is difficult to describe clearly, but if Qin Xiong said it, it is a silent declaration: If I want to win you, I can win you!
This may be a higher-level spiritual temperament than Ajax's philosophy of arrogance instilled in the players.
But this kind of mental temperament will have a very common problem in the team, especially in strong teams: underestimating the enemy!
Just like in the game in San Siro, Qin Xiong would think: If AC Milan can defeat Ajax, then how powerful would it be to defeat Bruges in San Siro? How did he tie AC Milan but lose to Celta in Ajax?
Obviously, the defending champions have a domineering aura and arrogance. This pride from the inside out will make them look down on their opponents, just like what Coach Ajax said: You should win the game.
But it is not possible to say that.
When you are comfortable, relaxation is the most natural human reaction.
On the court, the same is true.
However, when the situation is critical and the situation is not good, the strong will take it seriously and create a miracle that ordinary people see, which is not particularly difficult, because they have absolutely strong strength as a support.
The third round of the Champions League group stage ends.
AC Milan changed from 1 point to 4 points, and immediately returned from the brink of danger of being eliminated to a very comfortable position, second in the group.
The first in the group is still Bruges.
Another match between Bruges and Celta can comfort Ajax.
Because Bruges and Celta were tied, the two sides shook hands and made peace and scored one point.
If the winner is decided, Ajax's situation is really desperate.
Either Bruges scored 9 points, 6 points left Ajax, or Celta scored 4 points, putting Ajax at the bottom.
Fortunately, Ajax now has 3 points, Celta has 2 points, AC Milan has 4 points, and Bruges has 7 points.
There are three rounds of group stages, and it is hard to say that anyone has absolutely qualified, and no team has been completely eliminated.
Back to Ajax, Amsterdam, I had to go to Eindhoven after a short rest.
The Dutch national derby is coming!
Looking forward to this game, the Dutch media focused on the morale of the two teams.
Although PSV Eindhoven lost two consecutive Champions League, he successfully defeated the Greek team AEK Athens away in the third round, and his morale was greatly boosted. On the other hand, Ajax lost to San Siro. With one increase and the other decrease, Ajax naturally was not favored.
The situation in the league is that Ajax has 7 wins and 1 loss in the first eight rounds, PSV Eindhoven has 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and Ajax has led by 2 points.
But PSV Eindhoven has a confidence advantage and a home court advantage.
Last season, the Eredivisie champion was PSV Eindhoven!
Qin Xiong accompanied the team to the city of Eindhoven. Agnesen once introduced in detail to him and tried to bring him the city.
Due to the loss in the Champions League and the prospect of qualifying is in danger, the atmosphere in the Ajax locker room has become extremely tense and depressed again.
In fact, for these geniuses, there is a fact that everyone knows tacitly.
No matter how outstanding he performed in the Eredivisie, he would definitely not be able to shine on the Champions League stage.
Most players in the team were not born for Ajax, and their lifelong pursuit was to live for Ajax.
Most people hope to start with Ajax, step onto a bigger stage, and join the giants of the four major leagues!
Those giants pay attention to their performance, and the reference value of the Dutch League is not very high.
Only one season's excellence is not enough, two seasons, barely, three seasons, or even four seasons can make the giants tempted.
But if it is a Champions League, as long as you perform well in one season, you will immediately increase the attention of the giants!
Because of this, the importance and tension in the Champions League will far exceed that of the league.
A large number of Ajax fans came to Philips Stadium. This game was the Dutch national derby after all, and it was the most watched game in this country! None of them!
The confrontational sentiment of fans in the stands and the coach's attention made this game particularly special in Qin Xiong's eyes.
However, he is still a substitute.
He is still in a stable state and has no complaints.
He took this for granted.
Opportunities have come.
But he missed it.
In the rain battle in Groningen, he missed a chance to reach the sky.
It's understandable to be a substitute now.
There is no reason for this team to accommodate him and tolerate him.
It sounds simple, united and helps each other.
But in fact, in the cruel competition, opportunities themselves are unequal, and the preciousness of an opportunity is almost equivalent to the turning point of fate.
If you miss it, don’t complain, and don’t shamelessly ask others to give you another chance.
So he is now a substitute, without complaints, and is just silently making himself stronger, strong enough, so strong that he will not miss it even if he dies when the next opportunity comes!
Philips Stadium.
PSV Eindhoven coach Hiddink had the friendship of the landlords, shook hands with Koeman before the game and had a friendly conversation.
The live footage also focused on Koeman, because Koeman is very special here, because Hiddink's assistant coach is Koeman's brother, Elvin Koeman.
When playing football, the brothers were well-known in the Netherlands. The younger brother Ronald Koeman achieved even higher achievements. Now that he is entering his coaching career, his brother is still not as good as his younger brother. Ronald Koeman has already taken charge of Ajax, but his older brother Erwin Koeman is still working as an assistant coach for Hiddink.
However, there are still media gimmicks. This pair of brothers has always been a good story in Dutch football, and it also makes people look forward to the two of them not competing on the sidelines in the future.
The pre-match episode ended, and players from both sides lined up to enter the court.
The players of PSV Eindhoven obviously entered the court with an unparalleled pride. In Dutch football, if we look at the club's confidence, Ajax is inferior to PSV Eindhoven. Even the Dutch Football Association is quite afraid of PSV Eindhoven.
Ajax's players are arrogant, and PSV Eindhoven's players are not inferior. They are also geniuses and domineering aura!
"The 2003-2004 Dutch Football League One season, the national derby is about to begin! The defending champion PSV Eindhoven welcomed his old opponent Ajax at Philips Stadium. Although PSV Eindhoven in the standings was 2 points behind Ajax, maybe after the end of this game, PSV Eindhoven will win the throne of the leader. Their coach Hiddink made a bold statement before the game: Except for victory, other results cannot be accepted.
!Ajax coach Koeman seemed much more low-key. He said: Ajax's goal is to win the league this season! This is simply nonsense. If Ajax does not aim for the league championship, then he should have been dismissed. Haha, we can understand Koeman. After all, his team just experienced a uncomfortable defeat in Milan City. As long as Ajax can escape from Philips Stadium, they can still maintain their lead in the standings.
Let's take a look at the starting list of both sides.
PSV Eindhoven starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Watlers.
Defenders: Oyer, Hoflander, Boma, Lee Rongpiao.
Midfielders: Vogel, Van Bomel, Park Ji-sung.
Forwards: Romedal, Kezhman, Robben.
Ajax 433.
Goalkeeper: Lobant.
Defenders: Grigra, Heatinga, Escud, Maxville.
Midfielders: De Jong, Galasek, Van der Fate.
Forwards: Sikola, Ibrahimovic, Sneider.
