After two weeks of international competition, the Eredivisie has its twelfth round.

Ajax host FC Twente.

It's also a tough opponent.

Ajax did not until the 70th minute of the second half, Yang Yang broke through on the right side of the penalty area and crossed, the ball was fast and urgent, and the opposing central defender was anxious to intercept, but mistakenly blocked the ball into his own goal and turned it into an own goal.

Charlie Steas then added another goal to extend the score to 2-0.

Ajax continued their winning streak and led the Eredivisie table all the way.

PSV Eindhoven drew 4-4 away at Waalwijk and Farfan scored a hat-trick.

AZ Alkmaar were held to a 0-0 draw at FC Groningen and Louis van Gaal's side began to struggle.

Feyenoord was very brave in this game, and after being equalized twice by Roda JC, they took the lead again and finally beat Roda JC 3-2 away.

It is worth mentioning that Feng Xiaoting got a start in this game, which was his first start in the Eredivisie, and his performance was decent, coupled with the outstanding performance of the previous few substitutes, 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 not scored a goal so far.

After the end of this round of games, Ajax continued to lead the standings, although Yang Yang did not score, but fifteen league goals are still far ahead, and then Aviladeze did not score in this round, Huntelaar scored a goal and chased ten goals.

In midweek, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Ajax hosted Sparta Prague.

Both sides have shown determination to win, and the Czech giants are also fighting for the UEFA Cup, and neither side is willing to back down easily.

It wasn't until the 68th minute of the second half that Yang Yang received a through ball from Sneijder in the penalty area, broke through Sparta Prague's goal, and assisted De Jong to score a goal in the 89th minute.

But in the final moments of the game, Sparta Prague also pulled back a game thanks to Petras's goal.

In the end, Ajax narrowly defeated Sparta Prague 2-1 with Yang Yang's pass and shot.

In another game at the same time, Arsenal were met with stubborn sniping from Thun away from home.

Just 35 minutes into the first half, Toun's Cameroon centre-back Deoumi was sent off with a red card.

There weren't too many mistakes in the decision, and at best, the referee gave Thun the harshest penalty of all, forcing the opposition to fight with one less man for more than an hour.

But it was in the second half that really sparked the controversy.

In the 51st minute, when there was one more person than the opponent for a long time, Arsenal could not attack for a long time, and the opponent played a counterattack, Lustrineri crossed diagonally from the left rib in front of the goal, and teammate Ferreira pushed it into the net at the back post.

But the referee signalled offside and the goal was invalidated.

Arsenal continued to play badly, and fifteen minutes later, Thun launched another counter-attack and was awarded a free-kick in front of goal, with Oustrinelli slotting home from six yards out.

Unexpectedly, the referee awarded offside again!

The decision was a controversial one, and Toone's players simply couldn't accept the fact that they were red carded in the opening 35 minutes, two goals were ruled offside, especially the second time, which was definitely a very stupid, even low-level mistake, and should not have been played in the Champions League at all.

But if that's all there is to it, that's it.

After blowing two goals from Toon, the referee had reached the 88th minute in the final stages of the game, and when Arsenal were still unable to score, Van Persie fell to the ground when he received the ball in the box and turned around.

The referee did not blow the whistle but signaled for the game to continue, which he apparently did not think was enough to cause a foul.

But soon, the linesman raised the flag and showed that the defenders of the Eun team had pulled people and should be awarded a foul.

The referee quickly reversed his previous decision and awarded Arsenal a penalty for a foul on Toun.

Piret calmly converted the penalty.

Arsenal eventually beat Thun 1-0 thanks to this penalty.

In his post-match press conference, Toun's head coach Urs Schlenenberg scolded the referee for deciding the game, arguing that there were people who didn't want Toun to win.

'My team was supposed to get a win tonight and qualify for the UEFA Cup early, but obviously there were people who didn't want us to get that, a red card, two offsides, a penalty that didn't exist, so what else can we say?'

On the one hand, Arsene Wenger admitted that Arsenal did play badly, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong with the referee awarding a late penalty and that it should not be controversial.

However, when Schlenenberg asked him what he meant about two offsides and a red card, Wenger only explained the red card, believing 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 to win and lose attention.

As for the two offside decisions, Wenger did not give a direct answer.

Either way, Arsenal eventually picked up the precious three points and continued to chase the group top Ajax.

The tiebreaker will take place at Arsenal's Highbury Stadium.

Over the weekend, the Ajax tank, which had been fighting continuously, finally came to a halt.

Ronald Koeman's side were met with stubborn sniping from Utrecht on the road.

In the 59th minute, Utrecht scored a goal, while Ajax dominated the whole game, but never found the back of the net, and finally lost 0-1 away to Utrecht.

Yang Yang started again in this game, but only played 19 minutes.

During a physical contact with an opposing defender, he was kicked by an opposing player and left the field early.

This is also Yang Yang's first injury stop this season.

After being diagnosed by the team doctor and Crujtenberg, he suffered a muscle strain in his right foot and is initially estimated to be out for one to two weeks, but he may not be able to catch up with Arsenal in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage.

Yang Yang's injury made Ajax very worried, and after the game, a large number of fans rushed to visit De Tokmost, and many fans even chased Odekerk to care about Yang Yang's injury.

Not only the fans, Su Ye called in a hurry, so anxious that he cried, saying that he would fly to the Netherlands tomorrow to take care of him.

Yang Yang knew that she was just a student and didn't have any 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 every day for rehabilitation training, and Su Ye was bored to stay at home alone, so there was no need.

Besides, it's just a minor injury, and it's fine in a week or two.

After finally persuading Su Ye, the phone calls from his parents, relatives and friends also came one after another.

After Yang Yang returned to Odekerk, his uncle Shen Ming and his wife were also anxious to come from Almere overnight to see him.

Everyone was relieved when they confirmed that he was okay.

PSV Eindhoven beat The Hague 3-0 at home to quickly cut the gap to one point and trail Ajax, while Feyenoord beat Heracles 7-1 at home, with Kuyt scoring twice to bring the tally to 10 goals this season.

…………

A week later, in the fourteenth round of the Eredivisie, Yang Yang failed to make a comeback.

Ronald Koeman said in his pre-match press conference that Yang Yang is likely to miss the Champions League group stage in midweek, which would be a heavy loss for Ajax, but he believes everyone in the squad will come together to make up for the void left by Yang's absence.

However, the impact of Yang Yang's absence is still great, especially in the deterrent effect of the frontcourt attack.

Ajax dominated the first half at home to Waalwijk but were never able to find the back of the net before the end of the game.

But this goal also completely sobered up Ajax.

In the second half, Frenkie de Jong and Sneijder scored twice in the opening three minutes.

In the end, Bendtner and Ryan Babel scored two more goals in the 84th and 86th minutes to help Ajax beat Waalwijk 4-1 at home.

But neither the media nor the fans have a high opinion of Ajax's game, especially in attack.

Everyone knows that Yang Yang, who has scored fifteen goals and eight assists this season, is not so easy to be replaced.

…………

…………

In midweek, the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Although Yang Yang was absent, he still went to the away team with the team to cheer for his teammates.

Arsenal's form is still the same as it was two weeks ago, with little improvement.

Ajax is mainly defensive and counterattacking, and does not dare to be careless.

The two teams have different strategies, with Ajax needing only a draw to top the group, but Arsenal must win.

In fact, if it weren't for the referee's successive misjudgments by the referee in the last round, Arsenal would have been sentenced to death in the last round, where would there be anything in this round?

The two sides ended up playing 0-0, with Arsenal lacking attack and poor form, and Ajax doing their best to hold on for a draw.

In the other game, Thun also drew away at Sparta Prague.

As a result, the final ranking of Group B has also been settled.

Ajax topped the group with four wins and two draws, Arsenal finished second with four wins, one draw and one loss, Thun finished third in the group, and Sparta Prague finished bottom of the group.

Several other groups have also decided the rankings.

In addition to Ajax, the teams that won the group also included Juventus, Barcelona, Villarreal, AC Milan, Lyon, Liverpool and Inter Milan, among which Ajax, Villarreal and Lyon were the more surprising.

It is not uncommon for Ajax to beat Arsenal to qualify, Villarreal's biggest upset in this group is Manchester United at the bottom of the group, a humiliating exit, as for Lyon, it is also surprising to beat Real Madrid to win the group.

In addition to Arsenal, the second-place teams in the group include Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Glasgow Rangers.

Due to the same country and group avoidance principle, Ajax are most likely to face Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Benfica, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Glasgow Rangers.

It's a very troublesome team.
