On the weekend, Ajax challenged Groningen away.

After a large rotation, Ajax once again showed fatigue and could not defeat the whole game for a long time.

But even so, Ajax still narrowly defeated Groningen 1-0 away in the 78th minute with Haaland's goal, winning 30 consecutive victories this season.

With only three rounds left in the Eredivisie and Ajax has already won the championship ahead of schedule, the biggest suspense in everyone's mind is no longer anything else, but whether Ajax can win the Eredivisie championship with a complete victory?

If it is true, Yang Yang will be recorded in the history of Eredivisie and even European football.

...

The Dutch Football Association has just finished playing the Eredivisie League, and the Dutch Football Association has also discussed the results.

After Ajax eliminated Juventus and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals, led by the Dutch Football Association, representatives of the 18 Eredivisie teams came to the Football Association headquarters in Amsterdam to discuss the adjustment of the league schedule in the last two rounds.

The Dutch Football Association has initially formulated two plans, one is to advance the 33rd round of the league to the 26th day.

The advantage of this plan is that it is small and the situation is small. Ajax's opponent Grafsharp only needs to agree and other Eredivisie teams do not object, so they can be implemented, but it does not have much effect on Ajax.

The 32nd round of the Eredivisie is held on Tuesday on the 23rd. That is to say, if the 33rd round is advanced to Friday on the 26th, Ajax will have to play two games in four days, and then they will be at the Camp Nou Stadium on May 1 next Wednesday, with only four days off.

The previous compression of the schedule has increased, and the team's consumption has increased. Although it has received a four-day rest time, it is not very meaningful.

The second plan was proposed by the Ajax technical team at the Football Association's club representative meeting after fully considering the semi-final schedule of the away and then hosting, as well as the actual situation of the club, that is, the last two rounds of the league were postponed.

Not only is Ajax postponed, but all games in the Eredivisie were postponed, because due to the fairness of the league ranking, all the last two rounds of the European League were held at the same time.

Ajax proposed to postpone the league to the 12th and 15th in mid-May, which just happened to stagger the Champions League semi-finals on May 1st and May 7th.

At noon on May 5, the Dutch Cup final was again, and Ajax was going to play a final against William II.

Yang Yang has enough confidence in this game. He firmly believes that the team can win, so he did not propose a reschedule.

Besides, William II could not agree, because this was too obvious for them.

Ajax entered the Champions League semi-finals, which is a huge benefit for the entire Eredivisie. All teams will benefit. Naturally, they also hope that Ajax can enter the finals and even win the championship in the end.

In addition, the Ajax management led by Van der Sar tried hard to convince representatives of the other seventeen teams at the representative meeting. Dutch Football Association Chairman Michael Van Prager also came forward to support Ajax, and eventually agreed to the second plan, and the last two rounds of the league were postponed.

After the plan was announced, Ajax also thanked the Dutch Football Association on the official website for its attention and support to the team, and said that the team will do its best to strive for a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Although no one thinks that Ajax can compete with Barcelona.

...

After the plan was announced, Ajax will usher in a seven-day holiday after playing against Wittes on the 23rd day of home, and will not face Barcelona until Labor Day on May 1st.

But as early as the 32nd round of the Eredivisie, before the plan was announced, Yang Yang and the coaching staff adjusted the team's training plan as soon as possible. The coaching staff led by Winston Bogard and Pintus immediately adjusted the physical fitness and reserve training for all the main players, striving to make the team's physical and mental state at the Camp Nou Stadium.

After all, the next three games will all be related to Ajax's success or failure this season.

Yang Yang was also not idle. He and Xavi Alonso began to study Barcelona's skills and tactics.

As Yang Yang has been saying before, Ajax is not afraid of ball-control teams like Barcelona, ​​but is a little afraid of Inter Milan, Juventus, or a team with strong impact like Tottenham.

When fighting Barcelona, ​​Ajax had no other choice, so he could only continue to press and oppress his high position.

The key is how to suppress Barcelona and how to escape from the Camp Nou?

This is the problem Yang Yang will solve in the next week.

…………

…………

April 23rd, the 32nd round of the Eredivisie.

Ajax beat Waiters four-two at home.

The team is not playing ideally, and many main players are adjusting and are not in good condition.

Jovic scored twice and also had an assist. De Rigt scored again with a corner kick, and Odgao also scored a goal.

After playing this game, Ajax began to conduct closed training.

The whole team began to actively prepare for the battle at Camp Nou.

...

While Ajax was preparing for the game in full swing, Barcelona continued its own weekly doubles.

On April 23, in the 34th round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Alaves 2-0 away.

On April 27, in the 35th round of La Liga, Barcelona narrowly defeated Levante 1-0 at home.

In both games, Barcelona did not do their best, and they obviously kept their energy to prepare for the Champions League. However, because the thickness of the first team lineup was not outstanding and the pressure on the league was still there, Barcelona did not conduct large rotations.

Valverde obviously still wants to capture both hands.

The league leads by nine points, but Atletico Madrid is reluctant to leave. There are still three rounds of the league. Barcelona still feels pressure and dare not take risks easily. The Champions League opponent Ajax is significantly behind Barcelona in terms of overall strength and competition experience.

You know, in the past fifteen years, no dark horse team has ever broken through the semi-finals.

The last non-big four league teams reached the Champions League final were Ajax and Porto in the 03 to 04 seasons.

Since then, the best result of non-Four Major League teams in the Champions League is the semi-finals!

Everyone knows that at the semi-final level, it is no longer just a competition of team strength, but also a confrontation of the overall strength of the club, and a competition from almost all parties.

No matter which aspect Barcelona looks at it, it doesn't take Ajax seriously.

For teams from Eredivisie, reaching the semi-finals is already a huge victory.

Among the odds offered by many European bookmakers, Ajax also has the lowest odds among the top four teams, while Barcelona is far ahead and the number one favorite to win the championship, followed by Liverpool and Manchester City.

Among all media surveys, the most wanted to see in the Champions League final match was Barcelona and Manchester City because of Guardiola.

Originally, what fans wanted to see the most was the showdown between Yang Yang and Messi, but unfortunately, they were drawn to the same half-zone during the quarterfinals, so they met early in the semi-finals.

...

The war is imminent, and all kinds of preparations are underway.

The more critical the moment comes, the more fully Yang Yang's team's ability is reflected.

Needless to say, Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso are both veterans who have played for many years in the Champions League. Penttus has experienced many key decisive games with Real Madrid. Winston Bogard and Frans Hawke are also experienced championship-level coaches. They all know that the competition is coming, what to do and what not to do.

Van Gaal is also an experienced head coach. He knows how to create the best and most relaxed coaching environment for the team before the competition.

But what Yang Yang unexpected most was Eric Tenhager.

The Utrecht coach is familiar with Guardiola's skills and tactics, and is also very familiar with Barcelona's football. Therefore, during the league suspension stage, he drove to DeTok Most to discuss the upcoming Champions League semi-finals with Yang Yang and others, and gave a lot of his own suggestions for Yang Yang to consider.

Yang Yang, who had already admired Teng Hager, became even more in agreement with him now.

Among many pre-match preparations, what Yang Yang attaches most is the player's psychology in addition to targeted tactics.

Almost after the training class every day, Yang Yang would take time to meet the players. He needed to understand the psychological conditions of each player under his command before the game, especially their psychological conditions before facing Barcelona.

Some players have strong psychological qualities, and the stronger they meet, but some players are more nervous. Some players blindly exaggerate their opponents' strength because they are not familiar with each other, which adds a lot of psychological burden to themselves for no reason. However, some players are starting to be careless, thinking that the team can definitely beat Barcelona if they pass the mark.

Excessive pessimism, excessive optimism, or tension and anxiety are not normal phenomena, and are all things that Yang Yang needs to resolve.

He has a lot of experience. He has played for Real Madrid for nine years and has a top-notch world football in his personal honor. At the same time, he has extraordinary influence and personal prestige in the team, so he can answer every question of the player.

He almost never lost when facing Barcelona, ​​so he had the confidence to tell his players how to defeat their opponents at Camp Nou and how to curb Barcelona.

Among them, the sentence he said the most frequently and emphasized is to be brave and confident!

"Faced with a team like Barcelona, ​​any timidity and cowardice are a chronic suicide!"

"Only by standing up bravely and firming one's own beliefs can we defeat our opponents at Camp Nou!"

"You must believe that I have never lost to Barcelona. This was the case before, and the same is true next. I will definitely be able to lead everyone out of the Camp Nou Stadium with my head held high!"

This is the mobilization Yang Yang sent to the players at the last tactical meeting before the game.

He wants to instill his confidence in Ajax's players, and he wants to win everyone's trust.
