In the 21st round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Warrendan away.

Just twelve minutes into the first half, Escud took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to take the lead for Ajax and lead one to zero, but the team was unable to open the situation.

Seventy-five minutes later in the second half, Yang Yang came on the bench again, and in the 87th minute, he used a personal forced breakthrough to create a foul by Warrendan player Lulink. The referee mercilessly awarded a red card and a penalty kick. Galasek took the penalty kick, which expanded the score to 2-0 for Ajax.

In the end, Ajax defeated Warrendan 2-0 away with goals from Escud and Galasek.

In another game played at the same time, Eindhoven defeated Twente 1-0 with Kezhmann's goal at home.

In the 22nd round of the Eredivisie, Ajax welcomed Twente at home.

For the mid-week Champions League knockout, Ronald Koeman adjusted the team's lineup.

It was still in the first half that Greek center Anastashu scored a goal for Ajax, which was also his first goal since joining Ajax.

After that, Ajax continued to slow down his offensive, especially in the second half. After Yang Yang came on the bench, he had an excellent right-wing breakthrough for a while, but his mentality was very relaxed and he did not perform well in the whole game.

When he was replaced, head coach Ronald Koeman told him that the purpose of playing in this game was to keep his form. There is no need to try his best. The main energy should be focused on the mid-week match against Arsenal.

That was the key battle for Ajax during the next period of time.

Although the strength of the two teams is very different, neither Ronald Koeman nor the players are willing to give up easily.

In the end, Ajax defeated Twente 1-0 at home.

Eindhoven was twice equalized by Helenfin while leading away from home, and was even more defeated by Helenfin's Hanson at the last minute, and finally lost the game 2-3.

Van Bommel lost control before the end of the game and received a red card.

After the end of this round, Ajax led Eindhoven by seven points, and the momentum of winning the championship became increasingly obvious.

"That old man finally said something human."

The next morning after Twente, Ibrahimovic rubbed the breakfast Yang Yang bought, looked at the newspaper Yang Yang brought back, but cursed the technical director Van Gaal, who didn't know where he was.

This is how people are. Once they don’t like anyone, every word they say and do is annoying.

That's what Ibrahimovic treats Van Gaal and Van der Fate.

But this time, although he was scolding, he seemed to agree with Van Gaal's words in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

Maxwell and Fermulen are also very strange. For no reason, why did Van Gaal be mentioned?

"Here, the old man said in an interview with the Holland Telegraph that he believed we could beat Arsenal. He thought we had such strength and said that we would give Arsenal a tragic defeat at the Athletic Stadium in Amsterdam."

Everyone looked at the newspaper spread on the dining table and followed Ibrahimovic's hand and found this report easily.

This was just a very ordinary pre-match mobilization, but it seemed to resonate with the Swedish center.

"Do you really want to touch Arsenal?" Yang Yang continued to ate breakfast, but asked with a hint of point.

In recent times, Ibrahimovic has been in a bad mood. He has not scored goals in many rounds of the league. Due to the rotation, he did not make the roster in the last round of the game against Twente, but Anastashu, who replaced him, scored the winning goal.

Although there was no big reaction from the outside media and fans after the game, Yang Yang believed that with the arrogant temperament of the Swedish center, he could not remain indifferent to it, not to mention that he has been in a bad mood recently.

After hearing Yang Yang's inquiry, Ibrahimovic obviously stopped gnawing bread in his hand, raised his eyes to Yang Yang, and found that the latter had been burying his head to drink the soup. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded.

"I think, I think so hard."

"Want to score?" Yang Yang asked again.

"Yes." The Swedish center stopped talking.

Yang Yang somewhat understands his situation. As a center, he has always been controversial in Ajax. The main problem is that his scoring efficiency is too low. He introduced Wesley Songk in the summer and Anastashu during the winter break to make up for this problem. But now it seems that Ibrahimovic is still the team's main center.

This is a difficult thing to say clearly. Ibrahimovic lacks the efficiency of scoring? Or is there a problem with Ajax's offense? Or are there both?

"It's a very strange thing to play football in Ajax," Maxwell suddenly spoke.

"What does it mean?" Fermuren asked.

"In other teams, their attitude towards players is often more rational. For example, if you perform well, they will praise you. If you perform poorly, they will criticize you, but in Ajax, it is not the case."

"What's that?" Yang Yang suddenly asked with interest.

In fact, even now, he still doesn't understand Ajax.

Or, it should be said, I don't know very well.

"How do you say it?" Maxwell frowned. "Ajax will encourage players to try. They like to promote young players and give players a lot of room for mistakes because they feel that making mistakes is a way to improve themselves, and they are doing better than other teams."

Yang Yang and Fermulen looked at each other and nodded, it was indeed the case.

"But when you perform well, it's hard to hear their praise. They will always analyze the bad performance from your performance and point it out to you. I hope you can correct it in the future. This gives people the feeling that no matter how good we perform, we will never be able to satisfy them and never be able to meet their requirements."

Neither Yang nor Fermulen spoke.

I have to say that Ajax is indeed a team that is very stingy to give applause and praise to the players.

At least this is true within the team.

"Do you know why?" Ibrahimovic asked suddenly.

Yang Yang and Fermulen both shook their heads.

"Because they always want to make you the most perfect and outstanding person in their memory, for example, they always want me to be the second Van Basten and the second Cruyvet, but they never want to make me the first Ibrahimovic, and that's why I want to leave here as soon as possible."

Yang Yang suddenly didn't know what to say. He agreed with Ibrahimovic's resistance because it was very painful to be the shadow of others and no one was willing to do this.

Just like Yang Yang, he also dislikes others comparing him to Van der Mede last season, and he firmly believes that as he continues to grow and improve, as his position in the first team becomes more and more stable, his dislike will become heavier and may even turn into hatred.

Of course, the best way to resolve this emotion is to prove with facts that you can do better than Van der Mede, and use this to prevent everyone from comparing.

"Do you know why I want to play Arsenal?" Ibrahimovic suddenly looked at Yang Yang and asked again.

Yang Yang shook his head.

The Swedish center opened his mouth and wanted to speak but soon sighed, "Before coming to Ajax, I had been to Arsenal, and Wenger contacted me through their scouts and invited me to visit London. You know, these are the tricks that giants are best at trying to win over young players."

Yang Yang nodded, it was indeed the case.

He still clearly remembers the shock he was when he first saw the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.

In his eyes at that time, Amsterdam Athletic Stadium was the football hall of his dreams.

However, people's desires will increase as their position continues to rise. Now Yang Yang no longer feels as excited as he was when he walked into the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, but he still remembers the feeling and mood at that time.

For him, this is a motivation.

"Before going to London, their scouts told me that Arsenal wanted to sign me, and I was happy to play for Arsenal, that was my purpose in going to London." The Swedish center showed a self-deprecating sneer.

"Wenger is very busy. When he is waiting for him to meet, I keep looking forward to what he will tell me. At that time, I think he should tell me directly, Zlatan, you are amazing, we decided to sign you now, this is a contract..."

Yang Yang and the other two listened silently. They never knew about this, nor had they ever heard Ibrahimovic mention it.

"But in the end, do you know how he told me?" Ibrahimovic asked gritted teeth. "He told me that he didn't know my strength. He hoped that I could stay in Arsenal for trial training so that he and the technical team could observe me well and finally decide whether to sign me."

"I was so angry that I told him directly, either signing a contract or getting out. The result was obvious, I got out, from Arsenal, from London, from England, and back to my hometown, and I became a laughing stock for many people."

Yang Yang knew that with Ibrahimovic's personality, before going to Arsenal, he must have boasted about his teammates, but he failed to stay and would naturally become a laughing stock for others when he came back.

And it was obvious that this incident left a scar in his heart that was difficult to erase.

He is such a proud and arrogant person, so he naturally hopes to have the opportunity to get back the scene. At least he has to make Wenger regret his original decision. His poor condition in recent times is likely because of this matter.

It’s like a person, the more he wants to sleep, the less he can’t sleep.

"I must make Wenger regret playing at home. I want to let him know who was defeating him!" Ibrahimovic said gritting his teeth.

Yang Yang, Maxwell and Fermulen couldn't help but feel a little empathetic after hearing this.

Even now, Ibrahimovic is insignificant in front of Arsenal's Wenger, and Wenger may have even forgotten the meeting that year.

But Ibrahimovic still remembers it.
