399 Shooting Boots Monthly Pass]
After sending Li Rongpiao away, Eindhoven's left side had problems.
Veteran Rezig is no longer as brave as he used to be. In the last national derby, his defense against Yang Yang seemed to be very failed.
He just played in the Champions League quarterfinals in the middle of the week and lost to Lyon 0-4 away, which made Eindhoven's morale very sluggish. They didn't dare to be careless in this away challenge to Ajax.
Hiddink arranged England left-back Michael Ball on the left to replace Rayziger.
The 26-year-old England player made his debut in Everton and later went to Glasgow Rangers. He moved to Eindhoven this summer, but has always been a substitute for Reziger and has few opportunities to play.
Michael Ball, Alles, Ador and Michael Lame, Eindhoven's defense line is not their strongest combination, and it seems that there are many problems.
Judging from the current performance of the two teams in the Eredivisie, this game will undoubtedly determine the final championship.
Ajax played at home and launched an active offensive after the opening.
The trident composed of Pinal, Charlesteyas and Yang Yang actively suppressed Eindhoven's defense line.
Yaya Toure, De Jong and Sneider were storming and suppressing behind him.
Ajax's style of play this season has a strong dominance and lethality in the Eredivisie, and the team's offensive firepower has been greatly released. Not only has Yang Yang scored more goals, but the goals of several other players in the team also set career highs, which is obviously related to the team's unrestrained style of playing.
After the opening, Sneider and Yaya Toure were very active, with two long shots in the first ten minutes, threatening Eindhoven's goal, showing Ajax's strong desire to win and offensive firepower.
Eindhoven was forced to retreat after the opening.
But as the game deepened, Ajax gradually understood Eindhoven's defensive weakness.
In the 17th minute, Yang Yang suddenly changed his position to the left side of the penalty area. After getting the ball, he suddenly started, dribbled the ball horizontally and cut inward, and shot from a long shot with his right foot.
The shot hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area, which made Yang Yang very depressed.
Afterwards, Yang Yang's running position in the front court began to become more erratic.
He appears wherever there is a gap on the left, middle, right.
Not only do you create threats by taking the ball yourself, but you will also actively create opportunities for your teammates.
In the 26th minute, Ajax's most threatening attack appeared.
After Yang Yang got the ball in the middle, he went horizontally to the left and passed it to Pinal, and turned around and quickly inserted into the bottom line.
Pinal understood and sent a straight pass ball, giving Yang Yang in front of the bottom line.
After Yang Yang got the ball, he skillfully avoided his tackle from the baseline when facing Michael Lame's defense one-on-one on the ground, took the ball to the nearest small penalty area, and then returned the penalty spot to the left.
Yaya Toure inserted in the back row and shot directly, and the ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal!
The Ivorians were so excited that they rushed towards Yang Yang, knelt in front of Yang Yang, picked up his right foot, and used their jersey to help him wipe the grass clippings on the boots to show their gratitude for his assist.
Fans at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium were shouting their names.
A temporary lead of one to zero will definitely be a nightmare for Eindhoven.
…………

Although Hiddink's team was one goal behind, they did not take the initiative to push forward.
Obviously, they knew very well that counterattacking was their greatest advantage, and pressing on the offense would only die faster.
And they are not without opportunities.
In the 31st minute, Eindhoven made a sharp counterattack, and Falfan made a one-on-one strike, but Stekrenberg decisively abandoned the goal and attacked, falling to the ground and snatched the ball.
In the 36th minute, Yang Yang rushed into the penalty area again. When he shot, he was pushed by Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez and hit the post again, but he still failed to score.
After hitting the pillar twice in a row, Yang Yang's luck tonight was indeed not very good.
But Ajax's offensive momentum is getting smoother and smoother the cooperation is getting smoother.
Five minutes later, Pinal and Maxwell cooperated on the left, and the Brazilian left back sent a precise cross, and Charles Tyrantus headed the ball at a close distance, but it was missed.
This also made many people feel worried, for fear of mistakes in Ajax's attack.
Fortunately, in the first half stoppage time, Yang Yang got the ball from the right and faced Michael Ball. When he broke through one-on-one, he was fouled by the opponent. The referee gave him an offensive set-piece opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
Yang Yang's cross is awesome in Ajax's team, so he naturally takes the free kick from this position.
He also gave a precise pass, but Charles Tias was obviously not in good condition. He didn't snatch Alex when he grabbed the position in the penalty area and was cleared by the Brazilian central defender.
The ball did not fly far and landed outside the penalty area. Sneijder followed up and shot another angrily.
The ball was hit into Eindhoven's goal again.
Gomez caught the ball from the goal for the second time.
Two to zero!
…………
…………
After the second half of the game, Eindhoven once counterattacked, but Ajax quickly returned to his face.
Yang Yang cooperated with Yaya Toure and Pinal in the middle with two consecutive passes and one shot in the penalty area with his left foot. The angle was too straight and he was saved by Gomez and failed to create a threat.
"It seems that Yang Yang did not bring shooting boots tonight."
"Two times hit the pillar, and the wonderful cooperation just now, I didn't hit the right angle after one kick."
"I have to say that he is still very eye-catching, but his luck tonight is obviously not very good."
The development of the situation seems to confirm this.
Ronald Koeman replaced Nicklas Bentner with Charlie Steyas who was in poor form tonight.
The tactical role of the Greek center is very obvious. Ajax needs to rely on him whether in 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 was active, Eindhoven's defensive attention inevitably spread some of it from Yang Yang. Yang Yang had more freedom, but he still failed to create a goal.
Until the 71st minute, Sneider passed the penalty area and Nicklas Bentner made a powerful shot.
Eindhoven's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez made another wonderful save and flew to save the ball.
But the ball did not fly far, but fell in front of Yang Yang on the right side of the front of the small penalty area.
At this time, what Yang Yang needed to do was very simple, and he pushed his right foot.
The ball was sent into the goal by him!
After more than an hour of tossing, he hit the post twice, and failed to score several shots, but it just came in a confused way!
Yang Yang himself was speechless, shook his head with a wry smile, and opened his arms to accept the congratulations from his teammates.
Sometimes, goals are so strange.
When you feel that you are in good shape, perform well, and want to score a great goal, it won't let you score.
But when you are not prepared, it suddenly appears in front of you.
This is a very ordinary goal that is not good-looking at all.
But it was also a goal!
Three to zero, Ajax temporarily led Eindhoven.
Then, Ronald Koeman replaced Yang Yang with Ryan Babel.
Without Yang Yang's threat in the frontcourt, Eindhoven's counterattack seemed to be more active, and they did not give up their efforts. Finally, Falfan scored a goal in the 90 minutes.
Ajax defeated Eindhoven 3-1 at home with goals from Yaya Toure, Sneider and Yang Yang.
…………
…………
The 28th round of the Eredivisie ends.
Ajax defeated Eindhoven 3-1 at home.
With six rounds left in the league, everyone feels that Ajax has basically secured the league championship.
But this is obviously not what everyone cares about the most.
Since the winter break, Ajax has been leading the way and has always been a favorite to win the championship. Winning the championship is something everyone expected, and there is not much suspense.
On the contrary, Eindhoven's recession to the second half was indeed a bit surprising.
After all, they were not inferior to AC Milan in the group stage, but in the second half, they lost to Lyon with a score of 0 to 5. This has to be said to be a very elusive thing.
Not only does the league championship have no suspense, but even the Scorer King has no suspense.
Yang Yang scored 35 goals in the 28th round of the league with his goals in this round, which left him only two goals away from his idol Van Basten.
Hunterlaer, who ranked second, scored 27 goals, which was still very far from Yang Yang.
Van Basten is a legend, and Yang Yang himself does not doubt this.
In an interview with the media, Yang Yang said that he is not qualified to compare with Van Basten, because the goal in the Eredivisie cannot represent anything. He has not proved himself in the top league like Van Basten.
But he also said that he would do his best to win more goals.
Dutch national team coach Van Basten also said in an interview with the media that he was very optimistic about Yang Yang and believed that he could continue to score goals, because there are still six rounds of league games and he can score more goals.
"I called Yang Yang and congratulated him on his performance this season, but I also reminded him not to be careless. There are still six rounds in the league, the Champions League, and the Dutch Cup. I hope he can maintain his current state."
"I also told him not to compare with anyone, but to only compare with himself, and to try to make himself better than yesterday, and he can create miracles."
"Beyond me, it's just the beginning."
After playing Eindhoven, only Alkmaar was considered to be relatively strong in the next six rounds of the league, and Ajax was still at home.
With Ajax's current style and condition, as well as Yang Yang's outstanding performance, he can score more goals, not only surpassing Van Basten, but even directly aimed at Ajax's historical legend forty-two goals.
