Thanks to "Kylz" for the tip! ――

When the thirteenth round of the Eredivisie is approaching, the attention of Ajax FC is similar to that of AZ Alkmaar.

Next week, there will be a fifth round of the Champions League in the middle of next week, when they travel to Spain to take on Celta Vigo.

You can't blame Ajax for always being "too ambitious", but the lead in the league is a bit big.

Heerenveen visited the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, an opponent who has been on a good show since the new season, usually in the middle of the table, and is now in the upper reaches of the league, behind the championship group, but the gap with Ajax is very large, and it is impossible to challenge the throne.

Given the ease with which Ajax slaughtered The Hague in their last league game, the thinking of most of Ajax's players was that Heerenveen would definitely defend at full strength and that we would face a tough battle.

Two hours before the game, the players had an early lunch at the club.

Qin Xiong felt as if he hadn't eaten enough, so he took some snacks to eat in the stadium lounge.

The club prepares plenty of food and water in the lounge, and players can come and eat it at any time before and after the game.

Although they all seem to be snacks, they are checked by the club's medical team, mainly to replenish energy, and avoid junk food as much as possible.

Qin Xiong looked up at TV while eating.

Maxwell didn't seem to be full, he walked into the lounge, glanced at Qin Xiong, then took a bottle of water and snacks, walked to Qin Xiong's side, and said: "It's like this here in the Netherlands, if you go to Italy, you may not be able to see so many goals every week." ”

Qin Xiong nodded, and the highlights of the game that had ended this round were being broadcast on TV.

Dutch football, there is no shortage of goal battles!

Just yesterday's match ended, Roda JC slaughtered AZ Alkmaar 5-1 away from home!

After being ended by Ajax, AZ Alkmaar's morale suffered a thunderous blow, and this is the most subtle part of the league competition, when a team is in a hurry, the momentum must be contained!

That's definitely more than three points or six points in a game.

Willem II also swept Volendam 6-0 at home.

The Hague, the unlucky bastard, lost 7 goals to Ajax in the last game, and in this round, he was poured 4 goals by FC Twente on the road.

There are these big scores, like Feyenoord's 3-0 win over Vidis and PSV Eindhoven's narrow 3-2 win away to Nijmegen, which doesn't seem to be worth mentioning.

It's true that the Eredivisie doesn't finish in the top five in Europe, but it's never lonely, and every week there are games that seem unreasonable to the outside world.

Thinking of something, Qin Xiong turned his head and asked, "The coach seems to be in a bad mood today, do you know why?" ”

During the morning training, Qin Xiong saw that Koeman's face was very ugly.

Maxwell ate his snack and replied casually, "Didn't you watch the news?" ”

"What's the news?"

"Yesterday's pre-match press conference."

"I didn't see it."

'Oh, he slammed the Dutch Football Federation for scheduling the fixtures, we have to play the Champions League and the league is played the next day, if it was scheduled for yesterday, we would have had an extra day off to prepare for the Champions League.'

"With the Champions League, do you have to play the league in the morning?"

"Not necessarily, but it's definitely better to take an extra day off, uh, maybe it has something to do with PSV Eindhoven, their game was played yesterday, the coach saw it, and it was unbalanced. Then, he was ridiculed by some Dutch newspapers today, thinking that he led Ajax to play in the Champions League, there is no hope, it is better to concentrate on playing in the league, and of course he will be unhappy when he sees such comments. ”

Qin Xiong sighed and didn't follow.

He has never paid much attention to media reports, as for Koeman's unhappiness, it probably has little to do with outside comments, after all, in the position of head coach, controversy is inseparable at any time, and the pressure from the media is extremely heavy.

It still has to do with Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, who is more "privileged" in the Netherlands.

Obviously, Ajax is a more obedient, well-behaved, and more contributing local king in front of the Dutch Football Association, but PSV Eindhoven can get more preferential treatment, and whoever changes it is, can't be happy.

After eating almost, Qin Xiong sat down to rest, chatted with Maxwell and met with his teammates in the locker room, warmed up in the stadium half an hour before the game, and then returned to the locker room to listen to Koeman's pre-game speech.

The veteran Galasek returned from the Czech national team with a minor injury and will not be able to play for the next half month, which is a headache for Koeman, but as far as the league is concerned, it is not a big problem.

Heerenveen are at the top of the table but they can't threaten Ajax, and playing at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, Ajax's natural confidence is so vivid that they don't take their opponents seriously.

Among other things, Ajax's arrogant philosophy is able to make them more positive in their mentality, without suffering a heavy defeat, their confidence is restored quickly, and their superiority is unshakable.

As things stand, this temperament is important, especially against AZ Alkmaar, a team that was once able to challenge for the throne, after losing to Ajax, and yesterday was crushed by the little-known Roda JC.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was bursting with Ajax and Heerenveen entering the pitch.

When the game started, Qin Xiong and his teammates found that their idea of the game was completely wrong!

Heerenveen showed no signs of holding on.

They played very wild, unrestrained, aggressive.

This does not alarm Ajax, they are excited!

It's boring to fight a tough battle, really, because most people are always in a small area for "hand-to-hand combat", and they can't run, rush, or fight a tug-of-war, let alone a long-distance run, which is the audience's favorite scene, and the probability of occurrence is very low.

The coach of Heerenveen is the 60-year-old Dehan, who has coached Heerenveen for more than 15 years, and now he has been coaching Heerenveen for the second time, but he has been in charge for 11 years!

Sixty years old has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and what Dehan thinks in his heart, it may be difficult for outsiders to guess.

Is it because the team table for the new season is good, so you have to wrestle with Ajax?

Or do you want to take advantage of the upcoming "decisive battle" of the Champions League at Ajax, and your attention may be distracted and take advantage of the void?

In fact, Dehan's idea is very simple.

The standings do not reflect the real difference in the team's strength, Heerenveen is far from Ajax on paper, even if they are stubborn, at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, there is a high probability of losing a defeat, especially after watching the video of the last match between Ajax and The Hague, Dehan is even more convinced of this.

Rather than holding on to the game and eventually losing the game, leaving with no head up and bruises, it is better to not think about anything and let the team play this game in a normal manner.

Even if you lose, it doesn't matter.

Heerenveen has no ambition, lack of confidence, according to the shape of this season, relegation is impossible, then, high is not high, it is better to let go of the game.

Just as Ajax can play in the Champions League and are in good spirits, Heerenveen can play against Ajax, in fact, they are naturally excited.

As soon as the game started, Heerenveen was very positive.

In the opposition team was a Greek striker under the age of 20 named Samaras, who looked very talented in terms of technical ability and was also very confident.

He controlled the ball in the front court, and frequently pulled the ball with his right foot in front of Qin Xiong to make confusing movements, what about Qin Xiong?

Immovable as a mountain!

That's what he learned in the game against AC Milan.

As long as the opponent does not really break through himself, Qin Xiong will never be "seduced" by the opponent, and the practice of taking the lead in handing over the center of gravity in defense is actually very passive.

Samaras made several movements in a row, and Qin Xiong stood in front of him like a stake, but he didn't dare to pass!

He may have been thinking about why Qin Xiong didn't come up to grab his ball.

Samaras moved, found a gap after horizontal dribbling, and planned to break through the gap between Qin Xiong and De Jong.

At the moment of his breakthrough, Qin Xiong and De Jong closed the door at the same time!

Samaras's tall and thin body seemed to hit an iron plate, Qin Xiong and De Jong didn't react yet, and Samaras himself bounced out and fell to the ground.

De Jong stopped the football and glanced at Samaras on the ground, his expression a little disdainful.

Is this kid here to play street football?

It takes a lot of work, but the physical confrontation is simply weak, and the speed is not fast, who are you shaking?
