Qin Xiong stood at the exit of the players' tunnel, his hands behind his back, his head held high and his face solemn.

He didn't know if Mr. Slote's seemingly calm play with Georgia in the stadium was a special ritual.

But he could feel that Mr. Slot's calm was hiding intense emotions that outsiders did not know.

It must have something to do with football, it could be the stadium, it could be with Ajax, or AZ Alkmaar, or it could be the memory of a game.

It's been quite a while since I came to Europe.

Qin Xiong has a superficial understanding of the special football culture in Europe.

This is very different from Chinese football culture.

In China, football is at best an ordinary sport, entertainment, play, rising to faith, pursuit, and most of it is just lip service.

Of course, this is inextricably linked to the history of football development and the current state of society.

Although China has a large number of people, how long has it been since the founding of the People's Republic of China? How long has it been since society was stable?

How long has it been since football was developed and popularized?

Europe's football culture is profound, not overnight, but a long period of cohesion and continuous development and finally sublimation and transformation.

Football is already a part of their lives.

When it comes to football, it's certainly not a 90-minute game.

Maybe walking out of the stadium after a game and passing by an old lady on crutches, maybe it's a fan who has supported the team for more than half a century.

She may not shout passionately in the stands, dance with her hands, and wear the jersey and scarf of her beloved team all the time, but she just walks to the court step by step with her degraded legs, sits down in a fixed position, and sometimes enjoys the game with a smile on her lips, this is her faith and life, which does not need to be earth-shattering, nor does she need to be fanatical and violent to vent her emotions.

Like Ruttmanson, Pister, De Coyze, they don't seem to be crazy about football, but they are always tirelessly supporting Ajax in their own way, asking them if they are tired? They will surely ask rhetorically: why are you tired?

This is how we live!

They don't get angry after the team loses, but they are still calm, because that's life!

Birth doesn't make you laugh forever, make you happy, make you satisfied, life gives you pain, troubles, difficulties, and then what? How you approach life depends on your attitude.

With football at its center, strangers meet strangers, on or off the field, in the center of focus or outside the focus, every moment of every day is happening football-related stories, games, not all there is to football.

In Europe, it's part of life.

There are dreams, there are ambitions, there are friendships, even love, there are conspiracies, there are wars, and there are certainly redemptions and old-fashioned but extremely exciting and exciting revenge.

In the more than half a year since he came to the Netherlands, Qin Xiong's what he has seen, heard, and self-realized has sublimated his understanding of football, which he believes are valuable assets.

Playing football is his life, playing football better, living better

Ajax, who had a midweek Champions League tie, did not field a regular in the 27th round of the Eredivisie, with almost all of their first-team starters rested.

AZ Alkmaar arrived at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium with vengeful ambitions.

After 10 rounds in the first half of the season, they were second in the league, but they were sluggish after being beaten by Ajax at home, and after the second half of the schedule eased, they were thrown away by the three giants of the Eredivisie too far.

The league title has long been out of hope, and the Champions League place has become a battle between PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, and the UEFA Cup is better than nothing, but it is not so attractive after all.

After the lack of pressure on the record, AZ Alkmaar has the momentum to recover, anyway, no matter how bad it is, it is not much worse, when he comes to the door of Ajax, it is really the enemy who meets the eyes, Alkmaar took out a posture of revenge and hatred, and worked hard with Ajax!

Ajax, who came off the bench, had a rare home defeat and would have suffered a defeat at home had it not been for Stekelenburg's bravery.

AZ Alkmaar left with a draw, still unwilling.

1:1

The two teams shook hands.

PSV Eindhoven continued their poor form in the same round, losing 3-1 away at the feet of Willem II.

Ajax have dropped points in the league due to distraction from the Champions League, and they have a huge lead and can afford to drop points!

But PSV Eindhoven seemed to want the league to end quickly and admit that Ajax won the championship, Ajax draw, but they lost directly to widen the gap between the two teams.

With 7 rounds left in the league, Ajax lead PSV PSV Eindhoven by as many as 18 points!

Shocking.

Ajax's draw did not make headlines in the Dutch football media, PSV PSV Eindhoven stole the spotlight, and Hiddink's team was criticized by the media!

"What the hell is PSV Eindhoven doing?"

Yes, in the second half of the league in the Dutch national derby, PSV Eindhoven is lost.

Turning their gap to Ajax into double digits, 10 points.

And then what?

When the knockout rounds of the Champions League arrived, and Ajax began to despise the league due to preparation and adjustment of the team's physical allocation, PSV Eindhoven not only did not take advantage of the opportunity for Ajax to drop points, they had the opportunity to reduce the gap to at least 6 points, or even less, but instead it turned out to be 18 points!

It's unbelievable that the defending champion just gave up!

PSV Eindhoven, who came into the spotlight, finally reversed their past mistakes and won a convincing 4-0 win against Waalwijk in the 28th round of the Eredivisie to stop the decline.

However, it's too late!

Heading into April, Ajax's attention is fully focused on the Champions League.

After their first league game in April, they will be back on their way to London.

At the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, Koeman sent the main squad to warm up for the Champions League game, and it was a warm-up game without asking the players to do their best.

Sneijder, who returned from injury, came off the bench in the second half to test his form, and with the tacit cooperation of Qin Xiong, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, they continued their explosive competitive form, and even the audience could clearly see that they did not play their full strength, but still won 3:0 against the visiting Groningen.

The good news is that Sneijder has been excellent for 30 minutes off the bench and there is no indication that the injury has had a huge impact on his form, which is good news for Ajax heading to Stamford Bridge.

When the match ended, the Ajax fans gave a standing ovation and waved their jerseys and scarves excitedly.

"At the end of the 28th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax defeated Groningen at home to get all three points, they still maintain a huge points gap of 18 points with PSV Eindhoven, with six rounds left in the league, it can be said that Ajax has won the championship, but theoretically, PSV Eindhoven still has a very, very slim hope of winning the championship, which is based on the fact that Ajax will lose all six league games in the future, and PSV Eindhoven will win all of them, and they will reverse the 12 goal difference difference, the theoretical probability is very small, We can congratulate Ajax on winning the Eredivisie! It's just a matter of time, whether it's in the next round, or the 30th round, or the 31st round, no one thinks that Ajax will suffer three consecutive defeats in the league, and if it happens, hehe, Koeman will probably resign voluntarily. ”

Winning the Eredivisie is a certainty and the Ajax players are getting a huge boost at this time.

With only 34 league games in the Eredivisie, it is definitely a very difficult achievement to be able to win the title almost six rounds earlier.

The timing of their trip to London to take on Chelsea was very important for their morale.

Koeman made a rare show after the game.

"I wouldn't say Ajax hasn't won the title yet, is it theoretically possible? Sorry, PSV Eindhoven can't have a chance, the title already belongs to Ajax, the difference is just when do we completely announce the death of our rivals, I am very grateful for the efforts of the players this season, the sweat they have put in is obvious to all, we are united to bring the lost trophy back to Amsterdam, there is nothing more important than this, but for us the season is not over yet, we are now going all out to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, overly excited? Underestimating the enemy? No, no, no, I'm not worried, I think it's a good thing, it will make us go to London with more pride, full of confidence, because when we walk into Stamford Bridge with our heads held high, we are Eredivisie champions! In a major European league, we are the first team to win the league this season! ”R1152
