Chapter 402
After sending away Lee Young-pyo, Eindhoven has always had problems on the left.
Veteran Reziger has long lost his former courage. In the last national derby, his defense against Yang Yang seemed to have failed.
In the middle of the week, they just played the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League round of [-]. They lost [-]-[-] to Lyon in an away game. This made PSV's morale very low. They dared not be careless in this away game against Ajax.
Guus Hiddink started England left-back Michael Ball on the left, replacing Reziger.
The 26-year-old England player made his debut at Everton, then went to the Glasgow Rangers, and moved to PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer this summer, but he has always been Reziger's substitute and has few opportunities to play.
Michael Ball, Alex, Addo and Michael Lame, PSV's defensive 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 consisting of Pienaar, Charisteas and Yang Yang actively suppressed PSV's defense.
Yaya Toure, De Jong and Sneijder swept and suppressed behind them.
Ajax's style of play this season has strong dominance and lethality in the Eredivisie League. The team's offensive firepower has been greatly released. Not only has Yang Yang scored more goals, but several other players in the team have also scored career highs. This is obviously related to the team's unrestrained style of play.
After the opening, Sneijder and Yaya Toure were very active. In the first 10 minutes, there were two long-range shots, threatening PSV's goal, showing Ajax's strong desire to win and offensive firepower.
Eindhoven was forced to retreat after the opening.
But as the game progressed, Ajax also gradually figured out Eindhoven's defensive weakness.
No. 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 distance with his right foot.
This shot hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area, which made Yang Yang very depressed.
Subsequently, Yang Yang's running position in the front field also became more erratic.
Left, center, right, wherever there is space, he will appear there.
Not only does he take the ball to create threats, but he also actively creates opportunities for his teammates.
No.206 minutes, Ajax's most threatening attack appeared.
After Yang Yang took the ball in the middle, he took it horizontally to the left, and after passing it to Pinar, he turned around and quickly crossed the baseline.
Pinar understood and sent a through ball to Yang Yang before the baseline.
After Yang Yang got the ball, when facing Michael Lame's defense one-on-one on the ground, he dexterously avoided his tackle from the baseline, brought the ball near the small penalty area, and then passed back to the left side of the penalty spot in an inverted triangle.
Yaya Toure stepped in from the back row and shot directly into the lower right corner of the goal!
The Ivorian was so excited that he rushed to Yang Yang, knelt down in front of Yang Yang, held up his right foot, and used his jersey to help him wipe the grass on the boots to show his gratitude for his assist.
Fans at the Amsterdam Arena chanted their names.
Temporarily leading one to zero, this will definitely be a nightmare for Eindhoven.
…………
…………
Although Hiddink's team fell behind by one goal, they did not take the initiative to press on.
Obviously, they are very clear that counterattack is their greatest advantage, and pressing the attack will only kill them faster.
And they are not without a chance.
In the No. 301 minute, PSV made a sharp counterattack. Farfan formed a single shot, but Stekelenburg decisively abandoned the goal and fell to the ground to save the ball.
In the 306th minute, Yang Yang once again rushed into the penalty area. When he kicked the goal, he was slapped by the Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez and hit the post again, but still failed to score.
Yang Yang's luck tonight is indeed not good for two consecutive center posts.
But Ajax's offensive momentum is getting smoother and smoother, and the cooperation is getting smoother.
Five minutes later, Pienaar and Maxwell formed a cooperation on the left. The Brazilian left back sent a precise cross. Charisteas' header from close at hand was missed.
This also worried many people, for fear that something might go wrong under Ajax's mad attack.
Fortunately, in stoppage time in the first half, Yang Yang took the ball from the right side and faced Michael Ball. When he broke through one-on-one, he was fouled by the opponent. The referee gave a chance to attack the right side of the frontcourt.
Yang Yang's cross is one of the best in the Ajax team, so the free kick in this position is naturally taken by him.
And he also sent a precise pass, but Charisteas was obviously not in a good state. When he grabbed a position in the penalty area, he failed to grab Alex and was cleared by the Brazilian central defender with a header.
The ball did not fly far and landed outside the penalty area. Sneijder followed up with another angry shot.
The ball was blasted into PSV's goal again.
Gomez scoops the ball from inside goal for the second time.
Two to zero!
…………
…………
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Eindhoven once fought back, but Ajax quickly responded.
Yang Yang cooperated with Yaya Toure and Pienaer in the middle, and hit the goal with his left foot in the penalty area. As a result, the angle was too straight, and he was caught by Gomez, failing to create a threat.
"Yang Yang didn't seem to bring his shooting boots tonight."
"Twice in the center post, and the wonderful cooperation of the kick just now, but the kick did not hit the right angle."
"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 point.
Ronald Koeman replaced Charisteas, who was out of form tonight, with Niklas Bendtner.
The tactical role of the Greek center is very obvious, and Ajax still needs to rely on him no matter whether it is the league or the Champions League.
Bendtner was very active after he came on the field and actively created opportunities in the frontcourt.
Once the Danish center is active, PSV's defensive attention will inevitably be shared from Yang Yang. Yang Yang can get more freedom, but he still can't make a goal.
Until the No.701 minute, Sneijder went straight to the penalty area, and Niklas Bendtner volleyed vigorously.
Eindhoven's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez made another excellent save, flying to save the ball.
But the ball did not fly far, but landed in front of Yang Yang on the right side of the front of the small penalty area.
At this time, what Yang Yang needs to do is very simple, just push with his right foot.
The ball was sent into the goal by him like this!
After more than an hour of tossing, two center posts, and several shots failed to score, it turned out to be so muddled!
Yang Yang himself was speechless, shaking his head with a wry smile, and opened his arms to accept the congratulations from his teammates.
Goals are just that weird sometimes.
When you think you're in good shape, you're doing well, and you want to score a good goal, it just won't let you in.
But when you were not prepared, it suddenly appeared in front of you.
This is a very common, unattractive pick-and-miss goal.
But it is also a goal after all!
Three to zero, Ajax temporarily leads Eindhoven.
Subsequently, Ronald Koeman replaced Yang Yang with Ryan Babel.
Without the threat of Yang Yang in the frontcourt, Eindhoven seemed to counterattack more actively, and they did not give up their efforts. Finally, in the 10th and [-]th minutes, Farfan scored a goal.
Ajax beat PSV Eindhoven [-]-[-] at home thanks to goals from Yaya Toure, Sneijder and Yang Yang.
…………
…………
The eight rounds of No.20 in the Eredivisie are over.
Ajax beat PSV Eindhoven [-]-[-] at home.
With six rounds left in the league, everyone felt that Ajax had basically secured the league championship.
But this is obviously not everyone's top concern.
Since the winter break, Ajax has been leading the way and has always been the favorite to win the championship. Winning the championship is something that everyone expected, and there is not much suspense about it.
On the contrary, Eindhoven's decline in the second half is indeed a bit surprising.
After all, they were not inferior to AC Milan in the group stage, but they lost to Lyon with a total score of [-] to [-] in the second half. This has to be said to be a very elusive thing.
Not only is there no suspense about the league championship, but there is also no suspense about the top scorer.
With the goals of this round, Yang Yang scored 28 goals in 35 league rounds, which made him only two goals away from the 37 goals of his idol Van Basten.
Huntelaar, who is ranked second, scored 27 goals, which is still far away from Yang Yang.
Van Basten is a legend, and Yang Yang himself has no doubt about it.
In an interview with the media, Yang Yang said that he is not yet qualified to compare with Van Basten, because goals in the Eredivisie league do not represent anything, and he has not proved himself in a higher league like Van Basten so far.
But he also said that he will do his best to strive for more goals.
Van Basten, 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 that he can continue to score goals, because there are still six league rounds and he can score more goals.
"I called Yang Yang and congratulated him on his excellent performance this season, but I also reminded him not to be careless. There are still six league rounds, the Champions League, and the Dutch Cup. I hope he can maintain his current state."
"I also told him, don't compare with anyone, only compare with yourself, try to make yourself better than yesterday, he can create miracles."
"Beyond me is just the beginning."
After playing Eindhoven, in Ajax's next six league rounds, only Alkmaar is relatively strong, and Ajax is still at home.
With the current style and state of Ajax, as well as Yang Yang's outstanding performance, he can definitely score more goals, not only surpassing Van Basten, but even directly aiming at Ajax's legendary 42 goals in history.
Even the highest record in the history of the Eredivisie, 43 goals.
