November 23.

Amsterdam Stadium.

The 13th round of the Eredivisie.

Ajax welcomed Heerenveen, ranked seventh in the Eredivisie, at home.

After ten days of international matches, the European League started again.

After Stam took over the Dutch U21 coaching, he brought the high-pressure tactics to the Dutch youth team.

In order to quickly integrate the team into the tactics, Stam recruited both Danswell and Riedewald into the team during the first training camp of the youth team.

That is, Van de Beek is too young and still growing. If his confrontation ability was a little stronger, Stam would probably bring him to the Dutch youth team.

The European Youth Championship is called U21, but in fact, when it comes to participating, many players are 22 years old. After all, Van de Beek is only 17 years old, and it is difficult for him to compete with those who are already playing in the Eredivisie.

In these ten days, the Dutch youth team played two warm-up matches. In the first match, they lost 1-2 to Serbia, which advanced to the European Cup finals. In the second match, they barely tied with the Belgian youth team, which was eliminated in the group stage.

After the warm-up match, Stam's "dictatorial" behavior during the training camp and the team's performance in the warm-up match caused considerable controversy.

Stam smiled and said at the press conference after the game: "I paid attention to the previous performance of this team. Maybe you all think that I should refer to the successful experience of my predecessor. I don't think this is a necessary process."

"No matter how the players perform in the club, as long as they do not meet my requirements, they will not appear in the team."

Stam's first performance in the Dutch youth team received mixed reviews in the Dutch media.

As the head coach of the Ajax youth team, he was questioned by many media for using his position to recruit too many Ajax players.

Many media questioned his abandonment of Twente's main center forward Castaño and the use of Weghorst.

Feyenoord media believed that he did not give his club players a chance, while pro-PSV media believed that Stam used three main players of PSV's first team in the warm-up match, but only let Sun Yu play one game.

The first time he coached the Dutch youth team, Stam was questioned no more than Mourinho when he first arrived at Stamford Bridge.

However, Sun Yu was not surprised. Others may not know enough about the situation of this youth team, but Stam has learned the whole process of the rebellion in the locker room from Sun Yu.

Stam's thinking when he coached the team for the first time was very clear. He would rather lead an obedient team to compete in the European Youth Championship than tolerate the existence of a thorn.

The reason why the Dutch media paid so much attention to this youth team was mainly because the situation of the Dutch team in the European Cup qualifiers was too dangerous.

The Dutch team only played one game on this international match day.

Although they defeated Latvia, the bottom team in the group, with a score of 6-0, and the Czech team defeated Iceland 2-1, the team's situation did not change much.

If this group of young Dutch players does not perform well, the Dutch team is likely to become a second-rate European team fighting for the play-offs in the next ten years.

After the first twelve rounds of the Dutch League, PSV Eindhoven has ten wins and two losses, ranking first with 30 points.

More than one-third of the season has passed, and PSV Eindhoven still has no draws, and every game is a life-and-death battle with the opponent.

After being suppressed by Ajax for four consecutive seasons, PSV Eindhoven has performed very actively in the league this season.

In the stalemate, they would rather risk losing than take a point.

Their thinking is very clear. As long as they don't meet competitors, they would rather not take points than accept a point.

Their aggressive strategy is also reflected in the standings. Ajax has 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses after the twelve rounds, with 26 points.

From the overall schedule, Ajax's four points behind are behind two draws.

This is how the long league is. Even if you lose to the main competitor in both rounds, as long as you perform well in other games, you may still be able to bite the competitor.

Facing Heerenveen, Ajax did not have a smooth start.

In the 18th minute, Heerenveen used a set-piece to knock on Ajax's door.

0:1!

After losing the ball, the Ajax players did not panic, and continued to attack from both sides after getting the ball.

Heerenveen was not at all weak in the face of Ajax after the international match day, and wanted to defend and counterattack again.

After more than 70 minutes of stalemate with Barcelona, ​​Ajax players were obviously more confident.

Sun Yu and El Ghazi continued to exert pressure on both sides, and Milik hit hard in the middle, and Heerenveen's defense line was shaky.

Heerenveen players held on until the end of the first half, but the situation suddenly collapsed.

In the 43rd minute, left back Sinkgraven assisted the front court.

After he got the ball, he rushed diagonally to the penalty area. Sun Yu trotted at the corner of the penalty area while observing the running position of the opponent's right back.

Seeing that Sinkgraven was about to rush to the edge of the penalty area, the opponent's right back could only be forced to fight.

But the moment he stepped forward, Sinkgraven suddenly stopped and sent the ball into the penalty area.

The next moment!

Sun Yu suddenly appeared between the two central defenders of the opponent. At the moment when the two central defenders closed the door at the same time, Sun Yu suddenly stopped and kicked the ball to the edge of the small penalty area.

The left back of Heerenveen hugged Milik from behind, and the Polish center suddenly turned around with force, and the two fell into the small penalty area at the same time.

The whistle sounded!

Red dot package!

As soon as Sun Yu picked up the football, he saw Milik, who put his hands together and looked at him devoutly: "Please be kind, I have only scored two Eredivisie goals so far."

Faced with Milik who was playing misery, Sun Yu really couldn't bear to refuse him.

No way, he is a person who is soft and not hard.

Milik scored a penalty kick and excitedly turned back to give Sun Yu a bear hug: "Thank you, it's so fun to play football with you!"

The opponent was sent off in the first half. After the start of the second half, Ajax was unstoppable.

After the opponent struggled for less than 18 minutes, the scene collapsed directly.

In the 63rd minute, Ajax players passed the ball continuously at the edge of the penalty area.

Sun Yu seized the opponent's central defender's clearance error on the left and easily scored.

2:1!

In the 72nd minute, Sinkgraven assisted again. Sun Yu attracted the attention of the right back with his running. Sinkgraven made a decisive cross and El Ghazi scored with a header at the back point.

3:1!

After the team scored the third goal, De Boer replaced Sun Yu with Sigthorsson and replaced El Ghazi with Kinash, giving Riedewald another chance to play.

In the 84th minute, Kinash, who came on as a substitute, scored the fourth goal for the team.

4:1!

Ajax encountered some troubles, but still won the game with a three-goal advantage.

In the later game, PSV Eindhoven was tied by Groningen away, and Ajax narrowed the points gap to 2 points.

De Boer replaced Sun Yu in the 70th minute, mainly to prepare for the Champions League group stage three days later.

Although Ajax has missed the knockout stage, the club and fans attach great importance to the next game.

Ajax will play against Paris Saint-Germain away in the fifth round. If the players perform well again, there will be no worries about cash flow in the transfer market next season.

As long as they can tie Paris Saint-Germain, they can get a 600,000 euro match bonus.

Sun Yu's idea is very simple. His next game is to compete with Paris Saint-Germain's main right back Van der Wiel.

He got a small advantage over Alves in the last game. This time, facing the old Ajax player, he plans to find some presence.

Beat Van der Wiel!
