1551 Without you, who will guard Real Madrid?
On the afternoon of October 28, in the tenth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax faced Feyenoord at home.
Just twenty-two minutes into the game, Jovic used a penalty area to grab the score and scored the first record for Ajax.
In the 41st minute, Sancho received a pass from Shenei and made a push shot from the penalty area, 2-0.
In the 80th minute of the second half, Nerez, who came on the bench, assisted Mullen to win another goal, and finally locked the score at 3-0.
Ajax defeated Feyenoord almost without any danger.
This result surprised everyone, because in the Eredivisie's strong dialogue, Ajax has defeated Eindhoven and Feyenoord in a row.
What's even more terrifying is that when facing these two teams, Ajax had an overwhelming advantage in both ball possession rate and scene. Today, facing Feyenoord, Ajax got more than 70% of the ball possession, with a shooting rate of up to 31 times.
Feyenoord on the opposite side had only a six-foot shot, and one shot was directed, and he did not create much threat to Ajax's goal. This made everyone clearly see the huge gap in strength between the two teams.
The Dutch Telegraph even commented that the performance of the two teams is gradually increasing.
"Ajax is obviously getting better now. Yang Yang still insists on adopting a drastic rotation system, providing more opportunities for everyone in the team to take turns to rest. But even so, it can still be clearly seen from the scene that Ajax's performance is getting better and better."
The Dutch Telegraph also focused on van der Beck and Odge, believing that although neither of these two players scored goals or assists, they played a crucial role.
"Van der Beck was elected as the best player in the game, which is a recognition of his outstanding contributions on both offense and defense, and it is also a reward for him, allowing everyone to see his growth and progress."
"Odegao is obviously more mature than when he was in Helenfin before, and he plays more skillfully and calmly. The Norwegian young player who appeared in the middle of the midfield once again burst out the potential of a talented boy back then, and the future is exciting!"
...
In another game played at the same time with Ajax, Eindhoven won two consecutive games when he conceded a goal at the beginning. In the end, he reversed Groningen 2-1 away and continued to maintain the pressure on Ajax.
Now that the Dutch Eredivisie has finished ten rounds, Ajax has led the way with ten consecutive victories, while Eindhoven has nine wins and one loss, ranking second.
The battle between the two Eredivisie teams is becoming more and more intense.

The night after Ajax defeated Feyenoord 3-0, in the Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, the 10th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away.
The two teams' completely different situations in La Liga have made this century derby not on the same starting line from the beginning.
Barcelona is currently the leader in points, leading the standings, while Real Madrid is ranked seventh in La Liga. Although they are only four points behind Barcelona, the gap is still relatively obvious.
But what is more important is Real Madrid's recent state, which has not won for four consecutive rounds in La Liga.
Anyone can see that Lopetegui's team is in trouble.
In this case, the showdown between the two teams seems extremely eye-catching.
Barcelona has played their home advantage from the beginning, taking a positive attitude and actively exerted pressure, while Real Madrid took a defensive position. Modric and Tony Cross both stood further backwards, forming three midfielders with Casemiro.
This made Yang Yang and Xiavi Alonso shook their heads because Lopetegui was timid.
Facing a team like Barcelona, giving in will not work, because the ball is in the hands of the opponent, the more you give in, the faster you die.
As expected, in just eleven minutes, Rakitic made a precise long pass. After Alba broke into the penalty area from the left, he made a backward pass from the bottom of the bottom. Coutinho pushed the ball in front of the small penalty area, scoring the goal, which was Barcelona's first record.
In the 30th minute, Alba passed the ball from the left. After Messi got the ball from the left side of the small penalty area, he fell under Valan's close defense. After the referee passed the video, he awarded a penalty kick. Messi personally took the penalty and hit it, 2-0.
At this moment, everyone realized that this Real Madrid was really in serious trouble.
Or it should be said that it is difficult for Real Madrid to win.
...
At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid took the initiative and tried to launch a counterattack from the beginning, and even created a lot of danger for Barcelona. In the 50th minute, Isco made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. After the ball deflected on the defender, Marcelo stopped the ball in his chest, got rid of Pique, and scored a goal, winning a game for Real Madrid.
At this moment, Real Madrid seemed to see hope for a reversal.
For some time afterwards, Real Madrid tried to tie the score and even reverse the opponent.
Everyone knows that in this case, as long as the score is equalized, Real Madrid's morale will be greatly boosted.
But in the 75th minute, Dembele, who came on the bench, made a counterattack, Roberto made a cross, and Messi made a close-range shot, expanding the score again for Barcelona, three-to-one.
At this moment, Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso had basically concluded that there was no chance of this game!
Anyone who fails to defeat his opponent in one go will often be rebounded by his opponent and will be taken away in one wave.
Sure enough, after the eighty minutes of the game, Messi first scored a goal in the 83rd minute, and then in the 87th minute, Vidal headed the ball and finally locked the score at 5-1.
...
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso were not happy at all.
They guessed it right, but they didn't think there was anything to be proud of, because there were no surprises in the whole game.
Real Madrid actually had a chance, that is, at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid made a sharp move and won a game back. If they could equalize the score in one go, the game would not have evolved into the final result, and it might even reverse the situation.
"I didn't expect that Real Madrid can't even play against the wind!" Yang Yang shook his head and sighed with sighing.
If it were the past, Real Madrid would definitely not be playing like this.
Xavi Alonso nodded, "Now it feels like they are fighting on their own. Look at Suarez and Mbappe. Although both are forwards and Real Madrid have played double strikers over the years, they look at their positions too far apart and cannot echo in the frontcourt at all."
After a pause, Xavi Alonso looked at Yang Yang deeply, "When you were there, you could echo them whether you were Suarez or Mbappe, but now they were both alone, but they found that they could not imagine going together. No matter who took the ball, the other party was too far away."
Yang Yang understood what Harvey Alonso meant, and he actually saw it himself.
How to say it?
Suarez and Mbappe are still using the football thinking that Yang Yang used to play when he was still there, but now their partners are no longer Yang Yang.
Habit, this is a very terrible thing.
It’s like Suarez is used to Yang Yang, so he retains all the habits he used to play football with Yang Yang. But the problem is that some habits are good when they are with Yang Yang, but it may not be possible when they are with Mbappe.
The problem now lies here.
"Looking at the whole game, in addition to the start of the second half, Real Madrid was able to organize multiple counterattacks, but they always felt that the ball was missing when it came to the frontcourt. What it was, but they just felt that something was missing."
Xavi Alonso finally felt that what Real Madrid lacks now is exactly what Yang Yang is.
Lopetegui is quite unlucky. Taking over Real Madrid now is not a good thing for him, and he did a bad job, at least not showing a convincing performance.
Yang Yang has no doubt that if Zidane or himself was sitting in Real Madrid's head coach tonight, he would not have adopted such a tactic to face Barcelona. It is taboo to be afraid before the fight.
This battle completely defeated the psychological advantage that Real Madrid has worked hard against Barcelona over the years.
The point is not losing or even a one-to-five defeat, but Lopetegui's formation.
Seeing the things he had worked hard to build over the past ten years, Yang Yang felt really uncomfortable. Although he knew very well that he no longer belonged to Real Madrid, he still felt uncomfortable.
If he is there, he will have to fight Barcelona for one to two!
Lopetegui started out as being timid before the battle, and then exposed his shortcomings in on-site command and did not dare to give up, which eventually turned into such a crushing defeat as it is now.
What else can Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso say besides a long sigh?

News that Real Madrid was tragically defeated by Barcelona in Camp Nou spread all over the world the next day.
Countless fans were surprised by this result, because once upon a time, Real Madrid had an overwhelming advantage over Barcelona.
But now, Real Madrid has been baptized by Barcelona. What a shame?
Real Madrid fans were also extremely angry. Many Real Madrid fans even rushed to Valdebebas and asked the management to give an explanation, requiring someone to be responsible for this.
This is a crushing defeat that Real Madrid has never seen in the past ten years, not to mention that it is a loss to Barcelona!
The angry Real Madrid fans not only burned their anger to the players, head coach Lopetegui, technical director Bardano, and even to chairman Florentino and management, believing that they should all get out.
"Yang Yang! We only want Yang Yang!!"
"Come back, Yang Yang!!"
"We miss you, Yang, come home quickly!"
