As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
To be honest, Ajax is indeed very strong and there are all good players in the team.
However, in Xue Yang's view, The Hague is definitely stronger.
Xue Yang seemed relatively relaxed and not under much pressure.
He even talked and laughed with the assistant coach. He relaxedly asked assistant coach Hou Jinren:
"Xiao Hou! Who do you think will win today?"
Hou Jinren has been an assistant coach for so long, and he knows Xue Yang somewhat.
Knowing that Xue Yang must be very confident now, Hou Jinren wanted to make Xue Yang less confident, what to do if he loses.
"I don't know, Ajax is a giant in the Eredivisie, so we may not win."
Hou Jinren said conservatively, Xue Yang was also surprised when he heard Hou Jinren's words.
He looked at Hou Jinren with a smile, thought for a while and said.
"I'm different from you. I think we can definitely win today." Xue Yang said confidently.
"You are too optimistic. Ajax is not a weak team." Hou Jinren continued to pour cold water.
The results in The Hague have been really good recently, which makes Hou Jinren a little worried.
"It is true that Ajax is a strong team and a giant in the Eredivisie."
"But they have problems today, and the first is their starting forward Dolberg."
"Dolberg is indeed talented and has scored a few goals in the first few rounds."
"But whatever team Dolberg was in before, we are The Hague, and our defense can even defend Manchester United."
"Their starting forward Dolberg does not have this ability. At most he poses a slight threat to my defense, so I am not worried about him."
"In the midfield, both sides are evenly matched. We may be stronger, but we are relatively limited."
"But our midfielders are all versatile midfielders who can attack and defend, so we have a slight advantage in this aspect."
"The last thing is the defense. There is an obvious hole in their defense, and that is their left back."
"Sinkgrafen is a midfielder. He can indeed play as a left back, but his ability is relatively average."
"So before the game I asked Rafinha to increase the wing attack, just to take advantage of Sinkgrafen's loophole."
Xue Yang spoke rationally, describing his advantages.
This made Hou Jinren confused. Are we in The Hague already so strong?
Ajax had no hope of winning when they met us.
At this time, the game has already started, and as Xue Yang said, The Hague does have a slight advantage.
De Jong suddenly took a long shot. The quality was still good, but it was a pity that Onana saved it.
Although the goal was blocked, the fans at the scene still applauded.
Everyone is eager to beat Ajax today. The Hague lost both rounds last season.
And The Hague in the new season is so awesome, so everyone hopes to get revenge.
The fans seemed very excited because the situation on the field was no longer passive like last season.
They are getting more and more awake now, and Xue Yang has come to The Hague to coach them in the Eredivisie.
At this time, the football was passed to Rafinha, who was near 45 degrees on the right side of the penalty area. Rafinha has been in good condition recently.
Maybe it's because he received Mourinho's attention before, so he has been working very hard recently.
Raphinha successfully received the pass, but before he could dribble, the opposing full-back Sinkgrafen came up to him.
Facing Sinkgrafen in front of him, Rafinha felt very dull.
Xue Yang said before the game that Sinkgrafen was of average strength and was a loophole in Ajax's defense.
Therefore, if you give him an order, you can use Sinkgrafen as a breakthrough point.
Raphinha pushed forward slowly, and suddenly he made a move to cut inside the crossbar.
Sinkgrafen was indeed fooled and shifted his focus to the left.
But this was just a fake move by Rafinha. He pulled his left foot towards the football to the right, and then moved his right foot towards the football a little bit.
The football was pointed into the penalty area, and Rafinha also ran towards the penalty area.
Sinkgrafen was raped by Rafinha, and Sinkgrafen did not expect that he would be raped just like that.
After successfully breaking through, Raphinha chased the football and caught it before it was about to cross the baseline.
In desperation, Sanchez could only defend and let Raphinha break through, which would be too dangerous.
Raphinha saw Sanchez coming and chose an inverted triangle pass.
As long as the ball is passed, it is basically a goal.
Striker Allais was nearby, and he kicked the football with his right foot directly.
The football flew directly into the goal and hit the net.
The Hague leads Ajax 1-0!
"Goal~~~~~~~~~~"
"Smooth attack! Wonderful breakthrough! And a beautiful goal!"
"Rafinha's breakthrough was so sharp. He broke into the penalty area and attracted the defense."
"In the end, the inverted triangle pass found Alai, and Alai did not disappoint, and steadily kicked the football into the goal."
Although Xue Yang knew they could win, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
You have to remember that the game was only in the 7th minute, and The Hague can be said to have started badly.
And just as Xue Yang expected before the game, Ajax's defensive loophole is on the left.
"Great job!" Xue Yang shouted towards the field.
Then Xue Yang turned around and the assistant coach rushed over. The two of them hugged and celebrated happily.
Assistant coach Hou Jinren did not expect that what Xue Yang said actually came true.
This made him admire Xue Yang even more, as if everything was expected by Xue Yang.
Ajax head coach Peter Botts closed his eyes in disappointment when he saw his team conceded the goal.
But he quickly recovered and clapped towards the field, hoping that the players could return to form.
Although they are lagging behind, they still have plenty of time.
Peter Botts believed that with their offense, there would definitely be a chance to equalize the score.
Peter Botts is not a head coach without strength. He has coached Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon respectively in the future.
After scoring the goal, Allais was very excited. His biggest wish this season is to win the Eredivisie Golden Boot.
He has been working hard for this, and he has indeed scored a lot of goals.
Counting this goal, Alai has scored 6 goals.
He is also the golden boot of The Hague team. Xu Qiang has scored 5 goals so far, but he has given 4 assists.
If he can keep it up, Xu Qiang is very hopeful that he can get a double-double this season.
Alai and Xu Qiang are teammates and competitors, but Alai deliberately compares himself with Xu Qiang.
He hopes to become a better person, and he also has his own ambitions.
His recent outstanding performance in The Hague gave him the idea of joining a wealthy club.
Especially after Raphinha was favored by Manchester United, he is even more eager for the rich.
