Chapter 375 Team Qualification [Third update, please subscribe monthly pass]
After two weeks of national team competition, the Eredivisie ushered in the No.12 round.
Ajax sits at home against Twente.
This is also a tough opponent.
Ajax continued until the No. 70 minute of the second half. Yang Yang made a breakthrough pass from the right side of the penalty area. The ball was fast and urgent.
Then Charisteas made another victory, expanding the score to two to zero.
Ajax continued their winning streak and led the Eredivisie standings all the way.
Farfan scored a hat-trick in a [-]-[-] draw against Wahlwijk in PSV.
Alkmaar suffered a [-]-[-] draw away to Groningen, and Van Gaal's team began to show signs of fatigue.
Feyenoord performed very bravely in this game. After being equalized by Roda JC twice, they insisted on taking the lead again, and finally defeated Roda JC [-]-[-] away.
It is worth mentioning that Feng Xiaoting got the start in this game. This is his first start in the Eredivisie. He performed quite well. In addition, he has performed brilliantly in the past few times as a substitute. I believe that he will get more and more opportunities in the future.
As for Gao Lin, he still often comes off the bench, but he has yet to score a goal.
After the end of this round, Ajax continued to lead the standings. Although Yang Yang did not score, he was still far ahead with [-] league goals. After that, Avilard Ze also failed to score this round. Huntelaar scored [-] goal and caught up to [-] goals.
…………
…………
In the middle of the week, in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Ajax played against Sparta Prague at home.
Both sides have shown their determination to win. The Czech powerhouse is also fighting for the UEFA Cup, and neither side is willing to give up easily.
It was not until the No.608 minute of the second half that Yang Yang received a through ball from Sneijder in the penalty area, broke through the goal of Sparta Prague, and in the No.809 minute, assisted De Jong to score a goal.
But at the last moment of the game, Sparta Prague also relied on Petras' goal to pull back a game.
In the end, Ajax narrowly beat Sparta Prague [-]-[-] with one pass and one shot from Yang Yang.
In another game played at the same time, Arsenal encountered a tenacious sniper from Toon in the away game.
Only 35 minutes into the first half, Toon's Cameroon defender Deumi was sent off with a red card.
There were not too many mistakes in the penalty this time. At best, it can only be said that the referee gave Thun the most severe death penalty, forcing the opponent to fight with one less person in the next hour or so.
But the real controversy came in the second half.
In 1 minute, with one more player than the opponent for a long time, Arsenal was unable to attack for a long time, and was hit by the opponent for a counterattack. Lustrinelli made a diagonal pass from the left rib to the goal, and teammate Ferreira pushed a shot into the net.
But the referee signaled offside, the goal is invalid.
Then Arsenal still played badly. Fifteen minutes later, Thun made another counterattack and won a free kick in the frontcourt. Lustrinelli scored again six meters from the front of the goal.
Unexpectedly, the referee once again ruled offside!
The penalty this time caused great controversy. The players of Thun could not accept this fact at all. They received a red card in the opening 35 minutes and two goals were disallowed for offside, especially the second time.
But if that's all there is to it, that's fine.
After blowing out Thun's two goals, the referee was in the final stage of the game. No. 808 minutes had passed. When Arsenal still failed to score, Van Persie fell to the ground when he received the ball and turned around in the penalty area.
The referee didn't blow the whistle originally, but signaled the game to continue. He obviously didn't think it was enough to cause a foul.
But soon, the line referee raised the flag, indicating that the defensive players of the En team had pulled people, and a foul should be called.
The referee quickly changed his previous penalty, fouled the Thun team, and gave Arsenal a penalty.
Pires calmly took the penalty kick.
In the end, Arsenal also relied on this penalty to defeat Toon [-]-[-].
At the press conference after the game, Thun's head coach Urs Schlenberg, when interviewed by the media, denounced the referee for deciding the trend of the game, thinking that some people did not want Thun to win.
"My team should have won tonight and qualified for the UEFA Cup, but obviously someone didn't want us to get that. A red card, two offsides, a false penalty, what can we say?"
On the one hand, Wenger admitted that Arsenal played badly in this game, but he also believed that there was no problem with the referee's penalty kick at the last moment, which should not cause any controversy.
But when Schrunnberg asked him what he said about two offsides and a red card, Wenger only explained the red card, thinking that the referee gave the red card too early, which affected the quality of the game.
But he also believes that it is precisely because of the red card that the Arsenal players feel that they are sure of winning and lose their focus.
As for the two offside penalties, Wenger did not give a direct answer.
In any case, Arsenal finally got a valuable three points and continued to chase after the group leader Ajax.
The tiebreaker will be played at Arsenal's Highbury Stadium.
…………
…………
Over the weekend, the Ajax chariot, which has been fighting continuously, finally stopped.
Ronald Koeman's side suffered a tenacious attack from Utrecht on the road.
In 9 minutes, Utrecht scored a goal, and Ajax had the advantage in the whole game, but they still failed to score. In the end, they lost to Utrecht [-]-[-] away.
Yang Yang started this game again, but only played for 9 minutes.
During a physical contact with the opponent's defensive player, he was kicked and injured by the opponent's player, and he left the field early.
This is also Yang Yang's first injury this season.
After being diagnosed by the team doctor and Kluitenberg, the right foot muscle was strained, and it was initially estimated that he would be out for one to two weeks, but he might not be able to catch up with Arsenal in the sixth round of the Champions League group match.
Yang Yang's injury made Ajax very worried. After the game, a large number of fans rushed to visit De Tokmorst, and many fans even chased Odkerke to care about Yang Yang's injury.
Not only the fans, but Su Ye called so anxiously that he was crying, saying that he would fly to the Netherlands to take care of him tomorrow.
Yang Yang knew that she was just a student and had no money at all, and he didn't want Su Ye to come over, because although he was injured, he still had to go to the club for rehabilitation training every day, and it was boring for Su Ye to stay at home alone, so it was unnecessary.
Besides, this is just a minor injury, and it will be fine in a week or two.
After finally persuading Su Ye, calls from parents, relatives and friends came one after another.
After Yang Yang returned to Oderkerke, his uncle Shen Ming and his wife also came from Almere overnight to see him anxiously.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was fine.
Eindhoven defeated The Hague [-]-[-] at home in this round, quickly shortening the gap in league points to one point, and followed closely behind Ajax. Feyenoord beat Hercules [-]-[-] at home.
…………
…………
A week later, in the No.14 round of the Eredivisie, Yang Yang failed to make a comeback.
Ronald Koeman said at the press conference before the game that Yang Yang is likely to miss the Champions League group stage in midweek, which will be a heavy loss for Ajax, but he believes that everyone in the team will unite and make up for the vacancy left by Yang Yang's absence.
But the impact of Yang Yang's absence is still great, especially in the deterrent power of the frontcourt attack.
Ajax played against Wahlwijk at home. They had an overwhelming advantage in the first half, but they still failed to score. Instead, they were attacked by their opponents and scored a goal before the end.
But this goal also completely awakened Ajax.
In the second half, De Jong and Sneijder scored two goals in the opening 3 minutes.
In the end, Bendtner and Ryan Babel scored two more goals in No. 80 and 86 minutes, helping Ajax beat Wahlwijk [-]-[-] at home.
But whether it is media reporters or fans, the evaluation of Ajax's game is not high, especially in terms of offense.
Everyone knows that Yang Yang, who has scored [-] goals and [-] assists this season, will not be replaced so easily.
…………
…………
In the middle of the week, the final round of the Champions League group stage.
Although Yang Yang was absent, he still went to the away game with the team to cheer for his teammates.
Arsenal's state is still the same as two weeks ago, not much improvement.
Ajax mainly focuses on defensive counterattacks and dare not be careless.
The strategies of the two teams are different. Ajax only needs to keep a tie to get the first place in the group, but Arsenal must win.
In fact, if it hadn't been for the referee's successive misjudgments in the last round of Thun, Arsenal would have been sentenced to death in the last round, so what happened in this round?
The two sides ended up playing zero to zero, Arsenal's offense was weak and in poor condition, Ajax tried their best to hold the tie.
In another game, Thun also drew with Sparta Prague away.
As a result, the final ranking of Group B has also been settled.
Ajax won the first place in the group with a record of four wins and two draws, Arsenal won the second place in the group with four wins, one draw and one loss, third in the Thun group, and Sparta Prague was last out of the group.
Several other teams have also decided their rankings.
The first team in the group, in addition to Ajax, there are Juventus, Barcelona, Villarreal, AC Milan, Lyon, Liverpool and Inter Milan, among which Ajax, Villarreal and Lyon are more surprising.
It is not surprising that Ajax beat Arsenal to qualify. The biggest upset in Villarreal's group was that Manchester United came last in the group and were disgraced. As for Lyon, it is also surprising that they beat Real Madrid to get first place in the group.
In the second team in the group, in addition to Arsenal, there are Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Rangers.
Due to the avoidance principle of the same country and the same group, Ajax is most likely to encounter Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Benfica, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Rangers.
They are all very troublesome teams.
