Chapter 349 Re-Election of the Captain
When Yang Yang scored the first goal for Ajax, the situation on the field was completely broken.
Just five minutes later, Yang Yang cooperated with Maicon on the right and created another chance. Maicon crossed the front of the penalty area, Sneijder quickly plugged in, and it was done overnight, another victory for Ajax.
Two to zero!
The Hague team conceded two goals in a row, and their morale was unstoppable. Although Frans Adrar tried desperately to prevent the team from losing, he still couldn't stand Ajax, who was like a wolf in the first round of the new season.
In the 19th minute, Hague made a mistake with the ball up front, and De Jong quickly found Charlie Steas with a long ball.
The Greek center headed the ball to the back of the defense. Yang Yang quickly slanted in, caught up with the ball and easily swayed past the goalkeeper. He scored an empty goal and scored twice, and the score was extended to 3-0.
In the 29th minute, Ajax launched the offensive again. Felipe Luis on the left cooperated with Pinar, and the South African international crossed the front of the penalty area. Yaya Toure followed and hit directly. Score again.
Four to zero!
Defeat like a mountain!
The Hague team has been completely stunned!
Although Ajax slowed down the pace after taking a four-goal lead, they still made a cross from Maicon from the right before the end of the first half, and Charlie Steas scored a header from close range.
Five to zero!
Ajax entered half-time with a five-goal victory, and everyone believed that the team had already won.
In the second half, the situation developed almost as the team expected. The Hague team, which conceded five goals in a row, could only barely stabilize the defense and had no ability to counterattack at all, and Ajax was not in a hurry to attack after taking a five-goal lead.
But I don't know if it was because of losing the bet or because of his inattentiveness. Heitinga fouled defending the opponent's players in the 63rd and 87th time periods, and was given two consecutive yellow cards by the referee. , and was eventually sent off with a red card.
But even so, the Hague team is unable to fight back against Ajax.
In the end, Ajax beat The Hague 5-0 at home and won a hearty victory.
Head coach Ronald Koeman scolded Heitinga furiously in the dressing room after the game, believing that his performance was too frustrating, which is not the style a captain should have.
Although everyone didn't say it, they basically agreed with Ronald Koeman's judgment.
Heitinga is more than brave, but he is still not good enough to lead the team.
Sometimes, being a captain is not simply a matter of hanging the word Courage on your chest.

Yang Yang's brace and Haitinga's red card became the most controversial topic in the first round of the Ajax league.
The Dutch media took two very different attitudes towards the two players.
They gave a very high evaluation to Yang Yang, especially the first goal he scored, which was a zero-angle shot. It was very exciting and made media reporters and fans talk about it.
As for Haitinga, everyone thinks that his red card is not necessary at all, and it is purely his own to cause trouble for himself.
If it is said that the first foul card is a bit of precaution, then the second card is unnecessary, and Ajax will lose the main defender in the second round because of this, which is for the team. , is also a major hazard.
Some media even believe that Haitinga is obviously too arrogant.
Especially in the past two years, the team has made great achievements. After helping the team win the European championship as the main defender for two consecutive seasons, he began to become a little proud. This can be seen from his style on the field. .
The Ajax official said that there will be no penalty for Heitinga's red card, but a warning.
Heitinga also said after the game that he accepted the club's warning and would restrain his temper.
Ajax beat the Hague 5-0 in the first round of the league and climbed to the top of the Eredivisie league table in one fell swoop.
PSV Eindhoven drew 1-1 away with Heracles, two points behind Ajax, while Feyenoord beat Breda 2-0 at home with Kuyt scoring a goal.
Feng Xiaoting did not represent Feyenoord in this game, and he did not even enter the list of matches.
Feyenoord head coach Erwin Koeman said in an interview with Chinese media that he is very optimistic about Feng Xiaoting, and the Chinese teenager has also repeatedly got opportunities in the pre-season, and he will also play in official games as appropriate.
As for the competition for the main position, it is necessary to show better performance.
On the contrary, it was Golin. Although Alkmaar was the opener of the Eredivisie League this season, Van Gaal still included him in the squad and arranged him to come off the bench after the team 3-0. about ten minutes.
From the performance point of view, Gao Lin still needs to continue to work hard.
By the way, after the World Youth Championship, Chinese players set off an upsurge of studying abroad.
In addition to Gao Lin and Feng Xiaoting's transfer to the Eredivisie, Zhou Haibin, who shined at the World Youth Championship, received an invitation from the Portuguese Super League giant Benfica and successfully transferred to the Portuguese Super League defending champion.
According to the news Yang Yang got from Zhou Haibin, after Benfica won the championship, there was a serious loss of players, especially the midfielders, so they wanted to introduce Zhou Haibin, train them, and even reuse them.
Another outstanding player in the World Youth Championship, Hao Junmin, successfully joined the Bundesliga powerhouse Hamburg under the operation of Dutch agent Guydo Albes.
The former Bundesliga North Kings have long lost their courage in recent years. They only finished eighth in the Bundesliga last season. They have ambitions to return to the top of the league this season. Hao Junmin is a team they are very optimistic about. young players.
Guydo Albes personally promised Yang Yang that Hao Junmin would get enough training in the game, and could even be written into the contract, which shows that the Hamburg team attaches great importance to and is optimistic about Hao Junmin.
But at present, among the Chinese players studying abroad, Yang Yang's development momentum is the best and the most fierce. Everyone knows that he is the star of Ajax, and his future transfer value cannot be less than 30 million. Euro, which is bound to create sky-high transfer prices for Asian players.
Following Yang Yang is Zheng Zhi, who plays for Mainz. This international player has also been righted by Klopp this season and has been greatly used.
Zhao Junzhe also began to play the main role in Su Chao, and also showed his strength.
After joining Anderlecht, Chen Tao also appeared on the bench in the new season, and his performance was not bad.
As for Shao Jiayi, he is also the main force, but only in the Bundesliga.
Whether it is Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin, Zhou Haibin or Hao Junmin, they were all brought in by European teams as young players and trained. For them, this is both an advantage and a challenge.
With the halo of the World Youth Championship, they can get enough attention and cultivation from the club, but they must also show progress and performance to prove their potential and let the club see their future.
The competition in the Europa League is fierce, and the patience of the club is not very good. It will only take two years at most. If it is not good, it will basically be abandoned. Therefore, each of them needs to work hard for their own future.
And these are not what Yang Yang can help.
In addition to these few, there are more and more young players in China who are interested in studying abroad, including Zhao Xuri, Cui Peng, Lu Lin and other national youth team players, but for various reasons, they can only temporarily remain in the country.
Guydo Albes is also quite sorry for this, because it is the best choice to study abroad with the help of the World Youth Championship. Otherwise, after the World Youth Championship is over, the club will re-evaluate next year and find that the players are the same as last year's World Youth Championship. If there is no progress at all, or the progress is not great, their evaluation will be greatly reduced.
But there are some things, not to mention Yang Yang, even the domestic football association cannot forcibly intervene.

Heitinga's red card did not fade away as the outside media faded away.
There is a week between the first and second rounds.
Ajax took a day off the day after the game and half a day on Friday morning.
Yang Yang did not take a vacation, but continued to stay in the club and practice hard, because he knew that his condition was rapidly picking up, and he did not feel that he needed a rest.
On Friday afternoon, everyone on the team returned to De Tokmost, and after restarting training, they gradually began to realize the problem.
Heitinga is suspended with a red card. The pairing of Fermaelen and Vlar can provoke the defense of the team's back line. The second team teenager Maduro can also be qualified for the position of central defender. From a technical and tactical level, the impact and Not much.
But everyone realizes that the problem is not simple.
As early as the day after the game, Heitinga personally went to the head coach's office to apologize for his reckless behavior. Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll also accepted his apology, but also said that he His behavior has forced the coaching staff to reassess whether he is still suitable for the role of captain on the field.
Heitinga also accepted the criticism of the coaching staff and said that he would respect the decision of the technical department and the coaching staff.
Re-electing the captain is definitely a big deal in the locker room.
Galasek is a qualified and conscientious captain at the same time, but with the joining of Yaya Toure, everyone can see that he has gradually lost his main position, and it is difficult for him to be like last season. Leading the team to the battlefield.
Heitinga is obviously not a qualified commander, especially the red card in the first round of the league, which sounded the alarm for everyone.
But besides them, who else is suitable?
From the point of view of the direct line of youth training, Sneijder is undoubtedly the best choice for root and young red, which is also a criterion for many teams to choose captains, but from the perspective of resume, Maxwell can also be competent, because he is The longest-serving player on the team.
But Sneijder is too shy and introverted. Even on the court, he is rarely seen commanding his teammates. Maxwell's weight in the team is not heavy enough, and his good-natured personality also makes people suspicious of him. .
Sometimes a good person may not make a good leader.
There are also many people who think that Yang Yang is suitable. He is the number one star in the team. His performance on the field is convincing and his fighting spirit is very strong, and it is easy to infect his teammates around him.
But the problem is that he is too young, and he has only been on the team for two years, so he is not qualified enough.
