On the evening of October 19, the Amsterdam Arena.

In the third round of Group C of the Champions League group stage, Ajax hosted Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Maccabi Tel Aviv, who were playing away, kicked off first.

Ajax continued to line up in a four-three-three formation for this game.

The goalkeeper was Stekelenberg, with Maxwell, Vermaelen, Heitinga and McCone at the back, and Pinard, De Jong and Sneijder in midfield, with Wesley Sonk, Charlie Steias and Yang Yang in the front three.

This is the first time Yang has started for Ajax since the end of August.

Many Ajax fans at the scene have unfurled flags and banners welcoming Yang Yang, which shows the expectations and importance of Ajax fans to him.

At the beginning of the game, Maccabi Tel Aviv took the initiative to put on a defensive counterattack, Ajax successfully controlled the situation on the field, and Yang Yang also frequently interspersed and ran, constantly looking for opportunities.

In the fourth minute, Yang Yang finally ran out of a gap, Sneijder thoughtfully sent the ball out, through the gap between the opponent's central defenders and full-backs, and fell into the penalty area behind the defensive line.

Yang Yang inserted this gap diagonally at the fastest speed, took the first step out to stop the ball, directly faced the opponent's goalkeeper, and calmly pushed the shot, and the ball crashed into the goal behind him from the crotch of the opponent's goalkeeper.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"Ajax opened the scoring after just four minutes!"

"Yang Yang, the young player who will turn eighteen Yang Yang once again showed the strength of a wonder boy!"

"After coming off the bench to assist the crucial goal before the end of the previous round, he opened the scoring for Ajax after just four minutes of starting this game, which will be Yang Yang's first goal in the Champions League this season."

The 50,000 Ajax fans jumped from their seats, screaming wildly.

In the past two months, they have held back too long and too hard.

No one expected that the defending champion Ajax would draw Juventus and Bayern Munich, and the first two rounds were defeated in front of the giants, losing 0-1 at home to Juventus and 0-4 away to Bayern Munich.

That's a bad deal for a team that has just won the Champions League.

Everyone can understand the decline in Ajax's results, but no one wants to accept it calmly.

And at the critical moment, Yang Yang once again stood up to save the team.

At 1-0, Ajax opened the scoring after just four minutes.

"Yang Yang's goal should be thanks to the assist of Sneijder, whose pass tore through the Maccabi Tel Aviv defence with precision, and Yang Yang's exquisite movement was just right to reach the most threatening area."

"This is a tacit cooperation between two Ajax attacking players, from Yang Yang and Sneijder!"

Yang Yang also knelt on the sidelines to celebrate, then stood up and took the initiative to hug Sneijder, who flew up.

The surrounding teammates also stepped forward to celebrate.

Maccabi Tel Aviv are indeed not as strong as Ajax, but no one expected that the start of the game would be so smooth, and it could definitely be a big win.

Ajax are in desperate need of a big win right now!

After opening the scoring for the first time, Ajax played more patiently and the players were more motivated.

Fifteen minutes later, the team created another chance.

Yang Yang won the ball on the right side, suddenly cut inside, took away the opponent's defender, and then distributed it to the right side, and gave the set of McConn inserted, who was cleared by the opponent's central defender's header when he crossed the bottom.

Yang Yang felt good and offered to take the corner.

The corner landed pinpointedly in the box, Vermaelen headed it to the edge of the box, and Sneijder fired a powerful volley for Ajax, 2-0.

The next two cities in a row made Ajax full of confidence, and the passing advantage in the game became more obvious.

In the 33rd minute, Yang Yang's attack on the right side was unsuccessful, Sneijder shifted to the left side, Maxwell passed to Wesley Sonk, the Belgian crossed into the penalty area, Pinal followed up and pushed the goal, 3-0!

It's overwhelming!

Ajax played a very ferocious and at the same time very threatening attack in the first half, completely pinning Maccabi Tel Aviv in the half and beating him hard.

Ronald Koeman was full of praise for the team's performance at halftime, especially for Yang Yang's goal after the opening, and also encouraged the team to keep going.

"We're going to score more goals, not only to win, but to win beautifully!"

Maccabi Tel Aviv also realised that Ajax had found form and rhythm, and made two substitutions at half-time in the hope of blocking Ajax's attack and stabilizing the team's rhythm.

But they only lasted 10 minutes.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Sneijder distributed the ball to McCone on the right side, who then passed to Yang Yang in the gap on the right rib.

After Yang Yang got the ball, he turned and cut in, and passed diagonally behind him with his left foot.

The pass was very similar to the one he had given to Prinal against Roda JC, except that Wesley Sonk was quicker and more agile and quickly rushed into the box and volleyed straight into the box.

The ball went into the net again, 4-0!

Ronald Coman and the coaching staff were thrilled with a series of attacks, but in the 60th minute, Yang Yang was replaced by Daniel Deridel.

The reason is simple, Ajax will be away to PSV Eindhoven this weekend.

It will be a crucial battle to determine whether Ajax can buck the trend.

And Ronald Coman and the coaching staff are confident that Yang Yang will be the key to the team's victory.

After Yang Yang went down, Ajax's offensive continued unabated.

In the 88th minute, Charlie Steas was fouled by an opponent in a battle for the top in the penalty area and was pushed down by the opposing player, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, and the Greek center forward himself took the penalty to rewrite the score to 5-0.

With a five-goal victory, Ajax won a hearty victory at home.

This has given Ronald Koeman's side unanimous praise from the Dutch media and fans, and everyone is convinced that the Chinese teenager Yang Yangzheng, who will turn 18 by the end of the month, is gradually becoming a key figure for Ajax.

At the beginning of the season, when Yang Yang was in the team, the team won two and drew one in the domestic league, and Eindhoven and Feyenoord of the first army went hand in head, but after losing Yang Yang, Ajax drew two and lost two in the next four games, losing ten points and opening up the gap with the opponent.

Now, after Yang Yang's return, he assisted Charlie Steias 1-0 to beat Roda JC, and in the Champions League group stage, he made a pass and a shot to help the team win by five goals, and Ajax ushered in two consecutive wins, and the player's performance was completely different from before.

"After Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic, Ajax has been looking for a new standard-bearer for the team, who can become the new leader of Ajax and become the heart of the team, which has always been a topic of concern for the media and fans."

"Judging from this season's performance, Sneijder has such strength, but he is limited by his position on the field, and he is usually too low-key and introverted, which is indeed not suitable for being the standard-bearer, but Yang Yang has gradually shown his potential in this aspect."

"If everyone just guessed that he could before, then in the last two games, Yang Yang has proved with excellent performances that the Ajax with him is the real Ajax."

'It also makes us look forward to the weekend's trip to PSV Eindhoven.'

"If Yang Yang wants to further prove that he can fill the void left by the departures of Van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he will have to put in a convincing performance in this crucial game."

Ajax legend, Dutch coach Van Basten, who once coached Yang Yang in the second team, said in an interview with the media that Yang Yang has indeed become a vital member of Ajax, but he should not be praised too highly.

"He is not even 18 years old, and it is not appropriate to put too much pressure and burden on him now, on the contrary, we should try to give him a relaxed environment and atmosphere, so that he can continue to grow and work hard to improve, instead of pulling out seedlings to help him grow."

At the same time, Van Basten also said that compared with when he was coaching, Yang Yang's progress is very obvious, needless to say the basic skills, the stop is now very good, and his personal breakthrough ability has become a leader in the Eredivisie.

'I think he could have been more aggressive, for example he should have been more aggressive.

"I've watched Yang Yang play in the national team, and his attacking ability is very strong, his short-range explosiveness is very good, and his running and smell are also very sensitive, which is enough to prove that he has the potential to be a good scorer."

"With the current situation of Ajax, it is also in the interests and needs of the team to let Yang Yang take on more scoring tasks."

Van Basten's remarks were obviously to protect and promote his former favorite Yang Yang, but it sparked heated discussions in the Dutch media and Ajax fans, and everyone also believed that Yang Yang should indeed take on more tasks.

Charlisteas is not very capable of scoring, but the tactical effect is obvious, Wesley Sonk's scoring efficiency has been inconsistent this season, especially without Yang Yang, and he has not been able to provoke the team's offensive banner.

This makes it necessary for Ajax to look for a main attacking point.

Yang Yang has undoubtedly become a very suitable candidate.

Although his current offensive scoring ability is indeed not strong enough, he can be cultivated, and with his progress rate, I believe that he will soon be able to take on this burden.

After all, he wasn't even eighteen years old.

Compared to Ajax's momentum in the third round of the group stage, PSV Eindhoven won the Champions League very dangerously.

Guus Hiddink's side opened the scoring in the 26th minute of the first half against Rosenborg, but they were equalised just before half-time, and it wasn't until just before the end of the game that Johann de Jong scored the winner for PSV Eindhoven.

After winning this game, PSV Eindhoven won two and lost one, trailing Arsenal and finishing second in the group.

But it had to do with PSV Eindhoven's luck in the draw, with the other team being Panathinaikos in addition to Arsenal and Rosenbo.

On the evening of October 23, the Philip Stadium in Eindhoven.

In the ninth round of the Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven hosted Ajax.

When the first half was about to end in the 44th minute of this all-Netherlands match, the score was still 0-0.

At this time, Yang Yang broke through the South Korean player Lee Young-pyo with the ball and rushed into the Eindhoven penalty area.
