Subsequently, Ajax continued to control the situation on the field.
In the 42nd minute, an assist from Yaya Toure allowed Yang Yang to score!
In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, it was Yaya Toure again in the opening four minutes. The header from the front of the penalty area was ferried. Yang Yang then scored and scored another victory for Ajax.
But after 60 minutes, Heerenveen scored twice, with Huntelaar scoring the first of them.

As for Aviladze, after scoring consecutive goals at the beginning, it soon ushered in a trough, and has only scored 13 goals so far.

After the eighteenth round of the league, the Eredivisie ushered in a two-week winter break truce.
Ajax is still the same as in previous years, going south to Portugal for training, but Yang Yang took two days off during the period to go out to participate in Nike's World Cup advertising shoot.
At the same time, other players under Nike also participated in the shooting, which gave Yang Yang the opportunity to meet a few more friends.
During the winter break, good news came one after another from Raiola.
After half a month of negotiations, Raiola finally negotiated Armani's endorsement contract. Yang Yang will serve as one of Armani's global advertising spokespersons in the next three years, alongside top stars such as Shevchenko.
This endorsement contract will bring Yang Yang an annual income of 3 million euros, which is enough to see how optimistic Armani is to the Chinese market, but both parties have agreed to keep it confidential and did not disclose the specific amount.
After signing Armani, Raiola showed his long-sleeved side and quickly signed three endorsement contracts for Yang Yang, including Head & Shoulders shampoo, Coca-Cola and McDonald's under Procter & Gamble.
Each endorsement fee is 3 million euros per year, but the specific endorsement fee is still kept secret.
Whether it is Armani, Head & Shoulders, Coca-Cola and McDonald's, they are all eager to advertise in the summer World Cup, especially China, which has once again entered the World Cup finals. Therefore, Yang Yang specially took two days off to fly to Italy to shoot Armani. , and then concentrated on staying in Portugal to prepare for the war.
After the team completed a one-and-a-half-week training camp in Portugal and returned to Amsterdam, Head & Shoulders, Coca-Cola and McDonald's specially arranged personnel to shoot commercials in Amsterdam.
Basically, it is very simple, the fastest is McDonald's, one-time, less than an hour to get it.
But the money will arrive in installments one after another!
Counting Nike's endorsement, there are five endorsement contracts, 15 million euros per year.
This is definitely an astronomical figure that Yang Yang can't imagine.
With this large sum of money, he can almost be said to be lying at home, eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

Dusk, Almere, exit 5 of the A6 motorway.
A Fiat slowly drove off the highway and headed north, passing through the Motor City and the villa area, and came to the skate park.
Parking the car in the parking lot on the side of the road, Yang Yang walked into the skate park.
Haven't been back for a long time, here's something.
I heard that the city government intends to make this place a tourist attraction, especially the skateboard area in the middle.
The wall was still there, still looking so dilapidated.
Yang Yang stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the pitted cracks on the wall, each of which was full of his memories.
Three years ago, it was here that he made up his mind to play in the professional league.
At that time, he never thought about what would happen to him in the future. He simply liked to play football and wanted to prove to everyone that he could play football too.
For him at the time, Ajax was already an unattainable paradise. Every player who played for Ajax was a superstar in the world. Just hearing the name made him excited for a long time.
He still clearly remembers how excited he was when he passed by the Amsterdam Arena for the first time.
At that time, his biggest dream was to one day be able to play a game in such a magnificent stadium and let more than 50,000 fans cheer for him.
But now, the cheers from the 50,000 fans in the stands seemed to make him numb.
He received countless cheers from the fans in the stands every game, they would scream his name, they would boil over his every move, go crazy over every goal he scored.
Yang Yang slowly touched every crack and pothole on the wall, slowly retreated to the bench, and sat down.
This is where Van Gaal sits most often. He sits here every time, watching Yang Yang train silently.
At this moment, he was sitting here, as if he had seen what he looked like when he practiced against the wall.
He wanted to get that feeling back.
...
"Why are you coming back here?"
In the super training ground, Lao Bing asked Yang Yang lightly.
Yang Yang smiled lightly and shook his head, "I don't know, just...I want to come back and have a look."
"It's that simple?" Old Bing was a little unconvinced.
Yang Yang shook his head again, of course it wasn't that simple.
After a long time, he spoke softly.
"I was stunned by the 15 million euros."
It's not that Yang Yang has never seen money, but he really has never seen money come so quickly.
Fifteen million euros, it would take more than 100 million yuan to convert, how many days?
Sign a few words, shoot a few advertisements, and the money is in hand, just like a dream.
"You know, I have never been a person who pursues material life, and I have no habit of squandering. This money is enough for me to live comfortably for a lifetime, but playing football is such a hard thing... …”
Yang Yang felt that he needed to think about it.
Lao Bing didn't speak either, because no one could help him with this matter, only himself.
Fifteen million euros, which is indeed an astronomical sum, enough for ordinary people to spend a lifetime.
Anyone who suddenly gets such a fortune will inevitably feel slack.
This is human nature.
But this is the natural enemy of professional players.
Yang Yang believes that there are countless seniors who, when they have not experienced the temptation, must also have ambitions to make themselves the most outstanding players in the world through hard work.
But most people are on the way to the top of the pyramid and are pulled down by many temptations.
They may be more talented than Ronaldo, their strength may be better than Zidane, and they may even be more handsome than Beckham, but in the end, it is Ronaldo and Zida who can stand at the top of the pyramid. Nei and Beckham.
The road to success for professional players is a road full of all kinds of temptations.
Hard work is just the most basic thing. To be successful, you need to make yourself stronger and more determined.
Yang Yang was really confident in himself, and his goal was very firm.
But recently, he took a leave of absence to shoot commercials, contacting many people and things. He signed several contracts and got astronomical figures that he could spend his whole life. He found that he was beginning to waver.
There was a person in his subconscious who was telling him that he could actually relax a bit and make himself less hard.
This is definitely not a good sign.
Absolutely not!
Florentino is right at all. Modern professional football has made players less pure, and the temptation for professional players has become more and more popular. This requires Yang Yang to be constantly on the go. Wake yourself up.
...
In winter, it gets dark quickly.
It's getting colder in the park.
However, Yang Yang always sat on the bench, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
In this weather, no one would go out, and there was no sound or movement around. He seemed to be integrated into the surrounding environment and into the darkness.
Suddenly, the street lights in the park came on.
The sudden light made Yang Yang open his eyes, and the whole person also stood up from the bench.
Walking to the mottled and broken wall again, he gently rubbed the cracks and potholes on it, and he sighed heavily.
This is not a war that will end overnight.
This war will continue throughout his career, and as long as he doesn't retire, he will fight it to the end.
This is also a war that belongs to him alone, and no one can help him.
Only by defeating it will he have a chance to climb higher and go further.
If he loses, like many Fang Zhongyongs in the past, he will become the object that everyone will always regret.
He can't afford to lose!
So, he has to win!
"Lao Bing, I only found out now that too much money comes too fast, which is also a very painful thing." Yang Yang teased himself.
In the super training ground, I can't see Lao Bing's expression at this time, I don't know if he understands this humor or whether he can laugh.
But his next sentence reflected his dissatisfaction with the pen-holder.
"Hurry up and go back to practice!"
Yang Yang didn't think he was embarrassed, but he laughed and walked out of the skate park.
