Ajax beat Rosendaal 4-1 at home.

Feyenoord drew 2-2 away at Heerenveen.

PSV Eindhoven beat FC Twente 2-0 at home.

AZ Alkmaar beat FC Groningen 2-1 away.

……

After the 14th round of the Eredivisie, the top four teams in the league standings have not changed.

PSV Eindhoven lead the table with 35 points, AZ Alkmaar followed with 33, Feyenoord and Ajax both on 30, but are in third place for the time being due to Feyenoord's goal difference.

The entire Dutch football world has been shocked by Ajax's performance for more than a month.

From 12th place to 4th place, Ajax has shown a lot of competitiveness.

Especially after Yang Yang's return, the team's attack power has been greatly improved.

The only regret is that the team was eliminated from the Champions League and forced to play in the UEFA Cup.

But both the media and fans understand Ajax's situation, after all, if you draw giants like Juventus and Bayern Munich, let alone Ajax, even other European giants may not be sure to stand out.

It can only be said that Ajax's luck is really bad.

While the momentum of the rise in the standings is obvious, Ajax has finally killed a player in the scorers' charts.

That is Yang Yang, who has just turned eighteen.

Eight goals allowed Yang Yang to take a step further on the scorer list and tied for fourth place.

The top three players were Feyenoord centre-forward Kuyt, who scored twelve, Heerenveen centre-forward Huntelaar, who scored nine, and Feyenoord's striker Kalou.

But unlike these pure goalscorers, Yang Yang has six assists in addition to eight goals.

If you combine goals and assists, Yang Yang's lethality is comparable to that of players such as Kuyt, and it is not inferior at all.

Many Dutch media and fans agree that after the departures of Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, Yang Yang has become more mature and better this season, and has become a core player for Ajax.

It's December.

In the fifteenth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Waalwijk away.

After a week's rest, coupled with away games, Waalwijk started off with a wave of attacks.

Midfielder Robert Fuchs opened the scoring for Waalwijk in the seventh minute when he cut into the box.

But it was precisely this goal that woke up the Ajax players.

Just four minutes later, after Yang Yang broke through on the right side in a row, he suddenly reversed the triangle and passed back to the front of the penalty area, and Sneijder equalized the score in one fell swoop, 1-1.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Pienal scored another goal to tie the score to 2-1.

Neither side was able to score again.

Ajax narrowly beat Waalwijk 2-1.

On the same night, PSV Eindhoven beat Graafschap 4-0 away thanks to goals from Alex and Van van Bommel and a brace from Farfan.

Feyenoord also beat Nijmegen 2-1 thanks to goals from Kuyt and Kalaw.

AZ Alkmaar beat The Hague 2-0.

The Eredivisie standings remain unchanged.

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

Ajax host Bayern Munich.

Prior to this game, Juventus had already qualified for the first place in the group, and Maccabi Tel Aviv finished bottom with a poor record of five defeats and was destined to be eliminated.

Bayern Munich have all but secured the right to finish second in the group, unless Ajax win 4-0 at home.

Although everyone knew before the game that there were not many possibilities, Ajax still played very positively in the game.

Just like head coach Ronald Koeman said before the game, if nothing else, the team will try to get a win and save the face of the defending champions.

From the start of the game, Magath's side put on an aggressive posture, with Hargreaves trailing behind, Frings and Deisler splitting up on the wings, Ballack rushing forward and a small diamond in midfield causing big problems for Ajax.

Just nine minutes into the game, Bayern Munich took advantage of a counter-attacking opportunity, Deisler and Kufuor combined on the right side, passed the ball into the box, Pizarro dribbled a shot, and Mackay hit a left-footed push to open the scoring for Bayern Munich.

It was a goal that sparked the anger of Ajax.

Subsequently, the Eredivisie team launched a crazy counterattack, and Yang Yang frequently created killing opportunities on the right side.

Finally in the 38th minute, Yang Yang's accurate cross from the right, Charlie Steas headed in the penalty area, Pienal knocked back, and Galasek inserted a long shot from the edge of the penalty area, penetrating Kahn's goal and equalizing for Ajax.

After the rematch in the second half, Ajax continued to launch a series of attacks.

In the 64th minute, Sneijder sent a through pass, and Yang Yang quickly slipped into the ball behind Bayern central defender Kovac to score a single goal to rewrite the score to 2-1.

But just when everyone at Ajax felt that the team was capable of keeping a win, Bayern Munich substitute Ze Roberto crossed from the left, and Ballack cut in the back row and scored with a header to equalize the score.

In the end, the two sides played to a 2-2 draw.

In the other game of the group, Juventus, who had run out of demand, drew 1-1 away at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

As a result, Juventus and Bayern Munich both qualified together, and Ajax was forced to play in the UEFA Cup.

Eredivisie 16th round.

Ajax host Vitesse.

The double match for a week in a row made Yang Yang's body very tired, and he failed to pass the test of Jan Kruitenberg in the pre-game physical examination, and was forced to serve as a substitute in the game.

However, the team were unable to find a way to break down Vitesse's goal in the game, replacing his youngster Ryan Babel on the left wing, with Wesley Sonk returning to the right, but both players did not play well.

Ronald Coman finally couldn't help but replace Yang Yang in the 70th minute.

Then he replaced Wesley Sonk with Pinard, forming a front-court trident combination of Pinal, Charlesteauas and Yang Yang in the front court, and as a result, in the final fifteen minutes, Ajax played a wave of attacks.

In particular, in the 88th minute, Pienal burst into the box with the ball on the left and passed it back to Maxwell, and the Brazilian left wing-back sent a low ball to the right side of the penalty spot.

Yang Yang quickly cut into the penalty area from the right rib, stopped the ball and volleyed the ball into Vitesse's goal.

1 to 0!

With Yang Yang's last-minute stunner, Ajax defeated Vitesse 1-0.

In another key match in this round of the Eredivisie, Feyenoord forced a series of equalizers after conceding two goals in a row, and finally drew 3-3 at home to PSV Eindhoven.

AZ Alkmaar beat FC Twente 5-0 at home.

After this round of matches, the Eredivisie points have finally changed.

PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar both have 39 points, but PSV Eindhoven are top of the table on goal difference, Feyenoord have only 34 points after the draw, and Ajax are third in the table with 36 points.

With a goal in this round, Yang Yang's Eredivisie goal tally reached nine, but he was overtaken by Alkmaar strikers Perez and Huntelaar in the scorer list, and finally only ranked fifth.

Huntelaar scored twice in the previous round, while Perez scored twice in a 5-0 win in this round.
