372 Group Qualifying Monthly Pass]
After two weeks of national team competition, the Dutch Eredivisie ushered in the twelfth round.
Ajax faces Twinter at home.
This is also a difficult opponent.
Ajax until the 70th minute of the second half, Yang Yang made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. The ball was fast and fast. The opponent's central defender was anxious to intercept, but mistakenly blocked the ball into his own goal and turned into an own goal.
Charles Tiaz then took another game and expanded the score to 2-0.
Ajax continued to maintain a winning streak and led the Eredivisie standings all the way.
Eindhoven drew Valvik four-4 away, and Falfan scored a hat-trick.
Alkmaar was tied by Groningen by zero away, and Van Gaal's team began to show weakness.
Feyenoord performed very bravely in this game. After being equalized by Roda JC twice, he led the way again, and finally defeated Roda JC away three-to-two.
It is worth mentioning that Feng Xiaoting won this game, which is his first time in the Eredivisie League. He performed well, and with the previous few substitutes, he has performed well on the bench, so I believe he will get more and more opportunities in the future.
As for Gao Lin, he still often appears on the bench, but he has not scored a goal yet.
After this round, Ajax continued to lead the standings. Although Yang Yang did not score, he still led the 15 league goals. Aviladze followed up with no goals in this round. Hunterlaal scored one goal and chased ten goals.

In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Ajax faced Sparta Prague at home.
Both sides showed their determination to win, and the Czech powerhouses are also fighting for the League Cup, and neither side is willing to give in easily.
It was not until the 68th minute of the second half that Yang Yang received a straight pass from Sneider in the penalty area, breaking through the goal of Sparta Prague, and in the 89th minute, he assisted De Jong to score a goal.
But at the last moment of the game, Sparta Prague also won a game with Petras' goal.
In the end, Ajax narrowly defeated Sparta Prague with Yang Yang's one pass and one shot.
In another game played at the same time, Arsenal encountered a tenacious sniper from Thun on the road.
Just thirty-five minutes into the first half, Thun's Cameroonian central defender Dewumi was sent off with a red card.
There were not many mistakes in the penalty this time. At best, the referee gave Toon the most severe punishment, forcing the opponent to fight one less person in the next hour.
But what really caused the controversy was in the second half.
In the 51st minute, when he had one more person than his opponent for a long time, Arsenal could not defeat him for a long time and was hit by his opponent. Lustrinelli made a diagonal pass in front of the goal with his teammate Ferrera pushing the ball into the net from the back.
But the referee signaled an offside and the goal was invalid.
Arsenal then still played badly. Fifteen minutes later, Thun made another counterattack and got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Lustrinelli scored again six meters in front of the goal.
But unexpectedly, the referee once again ordered offside!
This time the penalty caused great controversy. Thun's players could not accept such facts at all. They had a red card in the first 35 minutes and were judged to be offside twice. Especially for the second time, it was definitely a very stupid one, and it could even be said to be a low-level mistake and should not appear in the Champions League.
But if it's just that, that's fine.
After blew out Thun's two goals, the referee had already reached the 88th minute in the final stage of the game. When Arsenal was still unable to score for a long time, Van Persie fell to the ground while receiving the ball in the penalty area and turning around.
The referee did not blow the whistle, but signaled the game to continue, which he obviously believed was not enough to cause a foul.
But soon, the lineman raised the flag and signaled that the Toon team's defensive players had pulling people and should be punished for a foul.
The referee quickly changed his previous penalty and awarded Thun's foul and gave Arsenal a penalty.
Pire calmly took the penalty and hit the penalty.
Arsenal eventually defeated Thun 1-0 with this penalty.
At the post-match press conference, Thun's head coach Urs Schrennberg criticized the referee for deciding the game trend and believed that some people did not want Thun to win.
"My team was supposed to win a victory tonight and get the League Cup qualification in advance, but there are obviously some people who don't want us to get these, a red card, two offsides, and a false penalty. What else can we say?"
On the one hand, Wenger admitted that Arsenal did play badly in this game, but he also believed that there was no problem with the referee's penalty at the last moment, which should not cause any controversy.
But when Schrennberg asked him in person what to say about two offsides and one red card, Wenger only explained the red card, believing that the referee gave the red card too early, which affected the quality of the game.
But he also believes that it is precisely because of the red card that Arsenal players feel confident in winning and lose their attention.
As for the two offside penaltys, Wenger did not give a direct answer.
No matter what, Arsenal finally scored a valuable three-pointer and continued to chase Ajax, the top spot in the group.
The decisive game between the two sides will be held at Arsenal's Highbury Stadium.

On the weekend, the Ajax tanks that fought continuously finally stopped.
Ronald Koeman's team encountered a tenacious sniper from Utrecht on the road.
In the 59th minute, Utrecht scored a goal, while Ajax had the advantage in the whole game, but he never scored and eventually lost to Utrecht away from home.
Yang Yang played again in this game, but only played for nineteen minutes.
During a physical contact with the opponent's defensive player, he was kicked by the opponent's player and he ended up early.
This is also Yang Yang's first injury this season.
After being diagnosed by team doctor and Kruitenberg, he suffered a muscle strain on his right foot. He was initially estimated to be missing for one to two weeks, but he may not be able to catch up with the sixth round of the Champions League group stage with Arsenal.
Yang Yang's injury made Ajax very worried. After the game, a large number of fans rushed to DeTok Most to visit, and many fans even chased Odkerke to care about Yang Yang's injury.
Not only the fans, Su Ye called in a hurry, and was so anxious that he cried, which meant that he would fly to the Netherlands to take care of him tomorrow.
Yang Yang knew that she was just a student and had no money at all, and he didn't want Su Ye to come over, because although he was injured, he still had to go to the club to rehabilitate and train every day. Su Ye was bored and there was no need to stay at home alone.
Besides, this is just a minor injury, it will be cured in one or two weeks.
After finally persuading Su Ye, the phone calls from his parents, relatives and friends also came over.
After Yang Yang returned to Odkerk, his uncle Shen Ming and his wife were anxious and came to see him from Almere overnight.
Everyone was relieved after confirming that he was fine.
Eindhoven beat Theatre three-to-zero home in this round, quickly shortening the league points gap to one point, chasing Ajax, Feyenoord defeated Herakles 7-1 at home, and Kuyt scored twice, chasing the number of goals this season to ten goals.
…………
…………
A week later, in the 14th round of the Eredivisie, Yang Yang failed to make a comeback.
Ronald Koeman said at a pre-match press conference that Yang Yang is likely to miss the mid-week Champions League group stage, which will be a heavy loss for Ajax, but he believes that everyone in the team will unite and make up for the vacancy left by Yang Yang's absence.
However, the impact of Yang Yang's absence is still great, especially in the deterrent power of the frontcourt offense.
Ajax played against Valvik at home, and he had an overwhelming advantage in the first half, but he never scored. Instead, he was sneak attacked by his opponent before the end.
But this goal also completely awakened Ajax.
In the second half, De Jong and Sneider scored two goals in three minutes of the opening game.
Finally, Bentner and Ryan Babel scored two more goals in the 84th and 86th minutes, helping Ajax defeat Valvik four-one at home.
But whether it is media reporters or fans, Ajax's evaluation of this game is not high, especially in terms of offense.
Everyone knows that Yang Yang, who scored fifteen goals and eight assists this season, was not so easy to be replaced.
…………
…………
In the middle of the week, the last round of the Champions League group stage.
Although Yang Yang was absent, he still accompanied the team to the away game to cheer for his teammates.
Arsenal's condition is still the same as it was two weeks ago, without much improvement.
Ajax focuses on defensive counterattacks and dare not be careless at all.
The two teams have different strategies. Ajax only needs to win the first place in the group, but Arsenal must win.
In fact, if Thun had not been misjudged by the referee in the last round, Arsenal had been sentenced to death in the last round, so what happened in this round?
The two sides finally played zero to zero, Arsenal was weak in offense and in poor form, and Ajax defended the draw with all his might.
In another game, Thun also tied Sparta Prague away.
In this way, the final ranking of Group B is settled.
Ajax won the first place in the group with four wins and two draws, while Arsenal won the second place in the group with four wins, one draw and one loss, Thun was third in the group, and Sparta Prague was eliminated at the bottom.
Several other groups have also decided on the rankings.
In addition to Ajax, there are Juventus, Barcelona, Villarrell, AC Milan, Lyon, Liverpool and Inter Milan, among which the most surprising are Ajax, Villarrell and Lyon.
It is not uncommon for Ajax to beat Arsenal to qualify. The biggest upset in Villarreal's group is that Manchester United ranks at the bottom of the group and is out in shame. As for Lyon, it is also surprising that he beat Real Madrid to win the first place in the group.
Among the second teams in the group, in addition to Arsenal, there are Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Benfica, Eindhoven, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Glasgow Rangers.
Due to the principle of evasion between the same country and the same group, Ajax is most likely to encounter Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Benfica, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Glasgow Wanderers.
