After sending Lee Young-pyo away, PSV Eindhoven have been in trouble on the left flank.

The veteran Reziger is no longer as brave as he once was, and in the last national derby, his defense against Yang Yang looked like a failure.

The Champions League last-16 knockout round in midweek, with a 4-0 defeat to Lyon, left PSV Eindhoven very demoralised, and they did not dare to be careless in this away game against Ajax.

Guus Hiddink started England left wing-back Michael Ball on the left flank in place of Reziger.

The 26-year-old Englishman made his debut at Everton, then moved to Rangers before moving to PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer this summer, but has been a substitute for Reziger and has not played much.

With Michael Power, Alex, Addo and Michael Lame, PSV Eindhoven's defence is not their strongest combination and looks like there are plenty of problems.

Judging by the current performance of the two teams in the Eredivisie, this match will undoubtedly determine the final title.

Ajax played at home and started aggressively from the start.

The trident of Pinal, Charlie Steias and Yang Yang actively suppressed PSV Eindhoven's defence.

Yaya Toure, De Jong and Sneijder swept and pressed 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 obviously been greatly released, not only Yang Yang's goals have increased, but also the goals of several other players in the team have also set career highs, which is obviously related to the team's unrestrained style of play.

Sneijder and Yaya Toure were lively from the start, threatening PSV Eindhoven's goal with two long-range shots in the first 10 minutes, showing Ajax's strong desire to win and attacking firepower.

PSV Eindhoven were forced to retreat after the opening.

But as the game deepened, Ajax gradually figured out PSV Eindhoven's defensive weakness.

In the seventeenth minute, Yang Yang suddenly changed to the left side of the penalty area, suddenly started after winning the ball, cut the ball horizontally, and shot with his right foot.

This shot hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area, making Yang Yang very depressed.

Subsequently, Yang Yang's running position in the front court also began to become more erratic.

Left, center, right, where there is a gap, he appears.

Not only do you create a threat with the ball, but you also actively create opportunities for your teammates.

In the 26th minute, one of Ajax's most dangerous attacks appeared.

After Yang Yang got the ball in the middle, he led it horizontally to the left, and after passing it to Pinard, he turned around and quickly inserted the bottom line.

Pienaar comprehendedly sent a through ball to Yang Yang in front of the baseline.

After Yang Yang won the ball, when he faced Michael Lame's defense one-on-one on the ground, he deftly dodged his tackle from the baseline, brought the ball to the vicinity of the small penalty area, and then reversed the triangle to the left of the penalty spot.

Yaya Toure stepped in from the back row and fired a straight shot into the bottom right corner of the goal!

The Ivorian was so excited that he pounced on Yang Yang, knelt down in front of Yang Yang, picked up his right foot, and used his jersey to wipe the grass clippings on his boots to show his gratitude for his assist.

Fans at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium chanted their names.

Taking a 1-0 lead would be an absolute nightmare for PSV Eindhoven.

…………

…………

Hiddink's side were one goal behind but didn't take the initiative to press.

Obviously, they know very well that counter-attacking is their greatest strength, and pressing on the offense will only lead to a faster death.

And they are not without opportunities.

In the 31st minute, PSV Eindhoven played a sharp counter-attack, Farfan formed a one-on-one knife, but Stekelenberg decisively abandoned the goal, and fell to the ground to save the ball first.

In the 36th minute, Yang Yang rushed into the penalty area again, and when he hit the goal, he was plucked by Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez and hit the post again, but he still failed to score.

Hit the column twice in a row, Yang Yang's luck tonight is indeed not good.

However, Ajax's offensive momentum is getting smoother and smoother, and the coordination is becoming more and more fluid.

Five minutes later, Pienal and Maxwell combined on the left flank, with the Brazilian left wing-back delivering a pinpoint cross that Charlesteauas headed wide from close range.

This also worries many people, for fear that something will go wrong under Ajax's onslaught.

Fortunately, in the stoppage time of the first half, Yang Yang took the ball on the right side, faced Michael Ball, and when he broke through one-on-one, he was fouled by the opponent, and the referee gave a chance to attack the set-piece on the right side of the frontcourt.

Yang Yang's cross is a must in the Ajax team, and he naturally takes the free kick in this position.

He also sent a precise pass, but Charlie Steas was obviously not in good shape, and when he grabbed a position in the box, he didn't even grab Alex and was cleared by the Brazilian central defender's header.

The ball didn't fly far and landed on the edge of the box, and Sneijder followed up with another furious shot.

The ball was blasted into the PSV Eindhoven goal again.

Gomez scooped the ball inside the goal for the second time.

Two to zero!

…………

…………

PSV Eindhoven fought back in the second half after a restart, but Ajax quickly returned the favor.

Yang Yang combined with Yaya Toure and Pinar in the middle of the field to play a left-footed shot from inside the box, but the angle was too positive, and Gomez saved and failed to threaten.

"Yang Yang didn't seem to bring shooting boots tonight."

"Two hit the post, and the wonderful cooperation of the kick just now, but the kick at the door didn't have a good angle."

"I have to say, he's still very eye-catching, but his luck tonight is obviously not very good."

The development of the situation seems to confirm this point.

Ronald Coman replaced Charlie Steas, who was out of form tonight, with Niklas Bendtner.

The tactical role of the Greek centre-forward is very obvious, and Ajax needs to rely on him again whether it is the league or the Champions League.

Bendtner came on and was very active, creating chances up front.

As soon as the Danish center forward was active, PSV Eindhoven's defensive attention inevitably spread out from Yang Yang, and Yang Yang was able to get more freedom, but he still failed to produce goals.

It wasn't until the 71st minute that Sneijder went straight into the box and Niklas Bendtner volleyed hard.

PSV Eindhoven's Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez made another brilliant save to save the ball from a flying save.

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, push with his right foot.

The ball was sent into the goal by him!

After more than an hour of tossing, two hits to the post, and a few shots on goal failed to score, it just came in such a mess!

Yang Yang himself was also speechless, shook his head with a wry smile, and opened his arms to accept the congratulations of his teammates.

Sometimes, it's just that weird to score goals.

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 score.

But when you are not prepared, it suddenly appears in front of you.

It was a very ordinary, not at all pretty, miss-picking goal.

But it's also a goal!

At 3-0, Ajax temporarily leads PSV Eindhoven.

Subsequently, Ronald Koeman replaced Yang Yang with Ryan Babbel.

Without the threat of Yang Yang up front, PSV Eindhoven's counter-attack seemed to be more aggressive, and they did not give up their efforts, and finally scored a goal by Farfan in the 90th minute.

Ajax beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 at home thanks to goals from Yaya Toure, Sneijder and Yang Yang.

…………

…………

The 28th round of the Eredivisie is over.

Ajax beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 at home.

With six rounds of the league remaining, everyone feels that Ajax have basically locked up the league title.

But this is clearly not the primary concern of everyone.

Since the winter break, Ajax have led the way and have been the favourites to win the title, which is something that everyone expected, and there is not much suspense.

On the contrary, Eindhoven's decline in the second half of the year is indeed a bit surprising.

After all, they were no worse than AC Milan in the group stage, but in the second half they lost 0-5 on aggregate to Lyon, which has to be said to be a very elusive thing.

Not only is there no suspense for the league championship, but even the top scorer is also without suspense.

With the goals in this round, Yang Yang scored 35 goals in 28 rounds of the league, which left him only two goals away from the 37 goals of his idol Van Basten.

In second place, Huntelaar scored 27 goals, which is still very 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 qualified to compare with Van Basten, because the goals in the Eredivisie do not mean anything, and he has not yet proven himself in a more top-level league like Van Basten.

But he also said he would do everything he could to get more goals.

The head coach of the Dutch national team, Van Basten, 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 rounds of league games, and he can score more goals.

"I gave Yang Yang a phone call and I congratulated him on his performance this season, but I also reminded him not to be careless, there are still six rounds of the league, there is the Champions League, and there is the Dutch Cup, and I hope he can maintain his current form."

"I also told him not to compare himself with anyone, only himself, to try to be better than yesterday, he can do miracles."

"Surpassing me is just the beginning."

After playing PSV Eindhoven, in the next six rounds of the league for Ajax, only AZ Alkmaar is relatively strong, and Ajax is still at home.

With the current style and form of Ajax, as well as Yang Yang's excellent performance, he can score more goals, not only more than Van Basten, but even directly against Ajax's legendary 42 goals.

Even the Eredivisie's all-time high, 43 goals.
