When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, everyone in Ajax rushed into the stadium frantically.

From the coaching staff to the players, as well as thousands of fans who came with the team to the away game, they all fell into a carnival.

The scoreboard shows the final score of the game, zero to five!

International practice, the home team in the front, the visiting team in the back.

Ajax beat Zwolle 5-0 away thanks to Sonk's hat-trick and goals from Galasek and Sneijder.

In another game at the same time, Eindhoven also defeated Volendam 5-0 away, but after the end of this round, Ajax still leads Eindhoven by seven points, and there are only two rounds left in the league. Under the circumstances, Ajax won the championship ahead of schedule.

This is Ajax's first trophy of the season!

As early as a week ago, in the 31st round of the Eredivisie, when Ajax of Monaco drew with Nijmegen 0-0 in the Champions League, countless media reporters and fans were worried that Ajax would not Will it be unable to hold on in the third-line battle, eventually collapse, and be counterattacked by Eindhoven?

But this five-to-zero game made everyone completely relieved.

Wesley Sunck scored in the 56th, 78th and 82nd minutes to score a hat-trick.

Yang Yang came on as a substitute in the 75th minute, then after opening the defender for Snedela, the Dutch midfielder assisted Wesley Sunk to score, and then Galasek assisted Sneijder to score.

It wasn't until the 82nd minute that Yang Yang assisted Wesley Songk to score, which was the icing on the cake.

With five goals, Ajax won the Eredivisie title this season two rounds ahead.

This made Ajax excited and boosted morale. The team could concentrate more on preparing for the finals of the Champions League and the Dutch Cup, and the first thing to do is the away game against Monaco three days later.

Yang Yang laughed so hard on the court, he really didn't expect that he would be able to win the championship.

You know, a year ago, he was just sitting on the bus in Almere, looking at the Amsterdam Arena like a pilgrimage, but now, he has put on the Ajax jersey and boarded the league championship. the throne.

It's all just like a dream.

What is even more incredible is that as long as the first leg results are maintained in the away game three days later and Monaco is eliminated, Ajax will enter the Champions League final and is expected to win the Eredivisie, the Dutch Cup and the Champions League Triple Crown.

This is definitely a shocking achievement, because in the history of the Eredivisie only two teams have won the treble.

One is the Ajax team headed by Cruyff in the early 1970s, and the other is the Eindhoven team coached by Hiddink in the late 1980s. legend.

Even if it is missed by countless fans, in the mid-1990s, the Ajax team led by Van Gaal failed to win this honor, but now, it is not far ahead and is facing Ajax. The players waved.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang felt that his whole body was on fire.

A sense of accomplishment in making history welled up in his heart, filling him with energy.

He believes that the same is true for all Ajax players.

When all the players threw coach Ronald Koeman into the air, Ajax fans in the stands also slogans of the triple crown, and even many Zwolle fans slogans Encourage Ajax and hope that the Eredivisie giants can achieve something in the Champions League.

It's not just the glory of Ajax, it's the glory of the entire Eredivisie.

May 5, Monaco, Stade Louis II.

This is a focus battle.

Monaco arranged a four-four-two double-center formation, pairing Morientes and Pursau with two high-center forwards, Rotten and Giuli on the flanks, and Deschamps set up a stormy formation from the very beginning.

Ajax still adopts a four-three-three formation to deal with, Gallacek and De Jong form a double midfielder, Sneijder as a forward midfielder, Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic and Wesley · Songk partner striker.

The game was fast-paced from the beginning, and the two sides played very fiercely.

In particular, Monaco's attack was very high, showing the determination to break the boat and putting a lot of pressure on Ajax's defense, especially in the 34th minute of the first half, Morientes scored a goal. After the ball, the Ligue 1 powerhouse attacked frantically, causing three Ajax players to receive yellow cards one after another.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Monaco continued to pursue the victory and devoured Ajax in a big breath, while Ronald Koeman took the initiative to put on a defensive counterattack, but he was still suppressed extremely embarrassed.

Especially in the 50th minute of the game, when the veteran Garasek committed a foul and received the second yellow card of the game, and was sent off with a red card, the entire Louis II Stadium fell into a carnival.

Deschamps immediately made a substitution and replaced the underperforming Puersau with Cisse, pushed Giuli to the front line, and continued to strengthen the attack, while Ronald Koeman made a quick decision and made a substitution adjustment. Dermallen replaced Wesley Sunck on the flank and pushed Heitinga into midfield to partner with De Jong.

After 70 minutes, Monaco attacked harder and harder, Ajax was forced to be very embarrassed, and the defense line was precarious.

Ronald Koeman finally made another substitution in the 73rd minute, replacing Maxwell with Gregla.

Consecutive substitutions did not stop Monaco's maddening attack. Deschamps made his second substitution of the game in the 78th minute, replacing left-back Evra with Ibala. A strong signal to strengthen the frontcourt offense.

A 1-0 win does not guarantee Monaco's promotion. They still need at least two goals to tie the total score, so Deschamps once again chose to strengthen the attack.

Just after Evra went off, Ajax made their final substitution in the 80th minute.

On the 99th, Yang Yang played and replaced the captain Van der Vaart.

When the opponent replaced a left-back, Ronald Koeman chose the gold-medal replacement right winger Yang Yang.

But at this time Deschamps couldn't care about anything anymore. He quickly made a third substitution adjustment at the 82nd minute, and replaced Morientes with Adebayor, whose physical energy was almost exhausted. Togolese players are also very powerful centers with restricted area dominance, with a very strong impact.

But just two minutes after Adebayor played, Ajax suddenly fought back.

Sneijder made an oblique long pass and sent the ball to the back of Monaco's defense line precisely. Yang Yang tore through Monaco's defense line with extreme speed like a bolt of lightning, chasing after the ball and grabbing the opponent's central defender. Squillage caught up with the ball before.

After grabbing the ball, Yang Yang was forced to the right side of the penalty area, but he deliberately slowed down, and when Ibrahimovic in the middle came in, he suddenly accelerated again and swayed away with a series of rapid fake moves. After Quelach, he quickly made a low pass with his right foot.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic quickly stepped in, beat Julien Rodriguez, grabbed a shot from close range, and the ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, one-to-one!

This goal completely played the morale and fighting spirit of Ajax!

The morale of the Monaco players has plummeted.

Because they now have to score four goals for Ajax in less than seven or eight minutes. How is this possible?

When Ajax players on the field and players on the bench rushed to the sidelines and gathered around to celebrate, the Monaco players lost control of their emotions, and the team suddenly pushed down Ajax's midfielder Sneijder. This led to a confrontation between the players on both sides.

After appeasing the players of the two teams, the referee gave Giuli a red card and directly sent the Monaco captain out of the field, but at the same time he also warned the Ajax players that it is best to restrain themselves and not celebrate in front of their opponents.

After the restart of the game, Monaco's players were still full of hostility, and several fouls were rough. The referee finally couldn't bear it, and in the 89th minute, he showed a second yellow card to midfielder Zikos, sending the Monaco midfielder. Red card sent off.

A game, three red cards, the intensity of the game is evident.

After the referee continued to draw cards, the Monaco players also lost their confidence and fighting spirit to continue resisting.

In the end, the second round between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw.

With a 3-0 home game, Ajax eliminated Monaco 4-1 on aggregate and successfully advanced to the Champions League final.

But midfielder Galasek will be suspended with a red card in the final, which will also cause huge losses to Ajax.

In another matchup, Porto defeated Deportivo Deportivo 1-0 with an away goal and joined Ajax in the Champions League final.

This is also the first time since the reform of the Champions League that no team from the four major leagues has entered the Champions League final.
