156 Double Crown [900 Monthly Pass]
At noon on May 2, Ostrok Stadium, Zwolle, eastern Netherlands.
The moment the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, everyone in Ajax rushed into the court wildly.
From the coaching staff to the players, more than a thousand fans who came to the away game with the team were completely in a carnival.
The scoreboard shows the final score of this game, zero to five!
International practice: the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.
Ajax defeated Zwolle five to zero away with Sonk's hat-trick, Galasek and Sneider's goals.
In another game played at the same time, Eindhoven also defeated Volendan 5-0 away, but after this round, Ajax still led Eindhoven by seven points. With only two rounds left in the league, Ajax won the championship ahead of schedule.
This is Ajax's first championship trophy this season!
As early as a week ago, in the 31st round of the Eredivisie, when Ajax, who had just fought to the death with Monaco in the Champions League, drew with Nijmegen, countless media reporters and fans were worried that Ajax would not be able to hold on in the third-line battle, and eventually collapsed and was counterattacked by Eindhoven?
But this five-to-zero game made everyone completely relieved.
Wesley Songk scored goals in the 56th, 78th and 82nd minutes respectively, and scored a hat-trick.
Yang Yang came on as a substitute in the 75th minute, then opened the defensive player for Sneidla, allowing Dutch midfielder to assist Wesley Songk, followed by Galassek assisting Sneid to score.
It was not until the 82nd minute that Yang Yang assisted Wesley Songk to score, which was the icing on the cake.
With five goals, Ajax won the Eredivisie championship this season two rounds ahead of schedule.
While this made Ajax very excited, he also boosted morale. The team could prepare for the finals of the Champions League and the Netherlands Cup, and the first thing to be affected was the away game challenge to Monaco three days later.
Yang Yang was laughing from ear to ear on the court. He really didn't expect that he would win the championship.
You know, a year ago, he was just sitting on the bus in Almere, looking at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium like a pilgrimage, but now he has put on Ajax's jersey and has ascended the throne of the league championship.
All this is like a dream.
What is even more unbelievable is that as long as you keep your first leg away three days later and eliminate Monaco, Ajax will enter the Champions League final and are expected to win the Dutch Eredivisie, Dutch Cup and Champions League triple-champions.
This is definitely a shocking result, because in Eredivisie history, only two teams have won the triple crown.
One is the Ajax team led by Cruyff in the early 1970s, and the other is the Eindhoven team coached by Hiddink in the late 1980s, and these two teams have become legends to this day.
Even if it was missed by countless fans, the Ajax led by Van Gaal failed to win this honor in the mid-1990s, but now, it is waving to the Ajax players not far ahead.
Thinking of this, Yang Yang felt that he was burning.
A sense of accomplishment in creating history surged into his heart, filling him with strength.
He believes that so are all Ajax players.
When all the players threw head coach Ronald Koeman into the air, the Ajax fans in the stands also played slogans of the triple crown. Many Zwolle fans even posted slogans to encourage Ajax, hoping that the Eredivisie giants could win in the Champions League.
This is not only the glory of Ajax, but also the glory of the entire Eredivisie.

Stadium Louis II, Monaco, May 5.
This is a focus battle.
Monaco lined up a double center formation of 442, allowing Morientes and Pooles to partner with two high centers, Roten and Juli to separate from the wings, and Deschamps formed a strong attack formation from the beginning.
Ajax still took the 433 formation to deal with it. Galasek and De Jong formed a double midfielder, Sneider served as the midfielder in the front, Van der Fate, Ibrahimovic and Wesley Songkhl partnered with the forward line.
The game entered a fast pace from the beginning, and the two sides played very fiercely.
Especially Monaco, the offense was very high, showing his determination to go all out, giving Ajax great defensive pressure. Especially in the 34th minute of the first half, after Morientes scored a goal, the French Ligue 1 powerhouse attacked almost crazy, allowing three Ajax players to receive yellow cards one after another.
After the second half of the game, Monaco continued to take advantage of the victory and rush to take advantage of the victory, and was in a state of suffocating Ajax. Ronald Koeman took the initiative to set up a defensive counterattack, but he was still suppressed in a very embarrassing manner.
Especially when the game reached the 50th minute, veteran Galasek made a foul and received the second yellow card of the game and was directly sent off the court with a red card. The entire Louis II Stadium fell into a carnival.
Deschamps immediately made a substitution, replaced Poolesau with Cice, pushed Juli to the front line and continued to strengthen the offense. Ronald Koeman made a quick decision and made a substitution adjustment, and replaced Wesley Songk on the wing with Fermall, pushed Heatinga to the midfield and partnered with De Jong.
Seventy minutes later, Monaco's attack became more and more fierce, and Ajax was forced to be in a very embarrassing state, with a storm in defense.
Ronald Koeman finally made another substitution in the 73rd minute, replacing Maxwell with Grigra.
The successive substitutions failed to stop Monaco's crazy attack. Deschamps made the second substitution in the game in the 78th minute, replacing left back Evra with Ibara, which once again strengthened the frontcourt offense.
A one-to-zero victory does not guarantee Monaco's advancement. They need at least two goals to tie the total score, so Deschamps once again chose to strengthen the offense.
Just after Evra got out, Ajax made his last substitution adjustment in the 80th minute.
No. 99 Yang Yang came on the court and replaced the captain Van der Fate.
With the opponent replacing a left back, Ronald Koeman chose the gold-president right winger Yang Yang.
But at this time, Deschamps had no time to care about anything. He quickly made the third substitution adjustment in the 82nd minute, replacing Morientes, who had almost consumed physically. The Togo player is also a powerful center with very dominant power in the penalty area, with a very strong impact.
But just two minutes after Adebayo came on the court, Ajax suddenly made a counterattack.
Sneider made a long pass in a diagonal pass and accurately sent the ball behind Monaco's defense line. Yang Yang tore open Monaco's defense line like lightning with extreme speed, chased the ball straight away, and grabbed the ball before the opponent's central defender Squillac.
After grabbing the ball, Yang Yang was forced to the right side of the penalty area, but he deliberately slowed down. After Ibrahimovic in the middle, he suddenly accelerated again, shook Squillac away with continuous and fast fake moves, and quickly made a cross with a low right foot.
Ibrahimovic quickly inserted it, defeating Julien Rodriguez, snatched the ball from close range and shot straight into the lower right corner of the goal, one to one!
This goal completely exaggerated Ajax's morale and fighting spirit!
The morale of Monaco players has plummeted.
Because they now have to score four goals in less than seven or eight minutes, how is this possible?
When Ajax's players and players on the sidelines rushed to the sidelines and gathered together to celebrate, Monaco's players lost control of their emotions. Captain Jiuli suddenly pushed down Ajax's midfielder Sneid, triggering a confrontation between the players on both sides.
After appeased the players of both teams, the referee gave Jiuli a red card and directly sent the captain of Monaco out of the field, but also warned Ajax's players that it would be better to restrain themselves and not to celebrate in front of their opponents.
After the game started again, Monaco's players were still full of hostility and had several fouls. The referee could not bear it anymore. In the 89th minute, he showed the second yellow card to midfielder Ricos and sent off Monaco's red card in the midfield.
In one game, three red cards, the intensity of the game can be seen.
After the referee made consecutive cards, Monaco players also lost the confidence and fighting spirit to continue to resist.
In the end, the second round between the two sides was tied 1-1.
With a three-to-zero home court, Ajax eliminated Monaco with a total score of 4-1 and successfully advanced to the Champions League final.
But midfielder Galasek will be suspended from red card in the final, which will also cause huge losses to Ajax.
In another duel, Porto narrowly defeated La Coruña with his away goals, a total score of 1-0, and met Ajax in the Champions League final.
This is also the first time since the reform of the Champions League, no teams in the four major leagues have entered the Champions League final.

May 9th, the 33rd round of the Eredivisie.
Returning to Amsterdam from Monaco, Ajax, who had already won the championship in advance, prepared for the two finals of the Dutch Cup and the Champions League, and played with a full substitute in the league, and finally defeated Breda 2-0 at home.
After this game, Ajax won the trophy of the Eredivisie this season, but the club did not organize large-scale celebrations and focused on preparing for the two finals.
A week later, the Eredivisie ended.
Ajax, who continued to play with a full substitute, defeated William II 5-2 away, with Obody scoring twice, Sayetters, Pinal and Deredel scoring one after another.
Another week later, on the evening of May 22, Dekuip Stadium in Feyenoord, Rotterdam.
In the Dutch Cup final, Ajax plays against Udrecht.
After adjustment, Ajax's condition seemed even better, controlling the game situation from the beginning, and broke through the opponent's goal in both attacks in the 31st and 32nd, with the goal scorers all Van der Fate.
After the second half of the game, Ibrahimovic scored a goal in the 65th minute, locking the score at 3-0.
Yang Yang still came on as a substitute in the 70th minute. At that time, the overall situation of the team was decided. After playing, he was more familiar with the rhythm of the game and adjusted his state for the 26th Champions League final.
Chapter completed!
