In the 16th round of the Eredivisie on December 11, The Hague challenged Nijmegen away from home.
Although it is an away game, most people believe that The Hague can easily win Nijmegen.
However, the result was surprising. The Hague finally lost the game 0-3.
This defeat surprised many people, as Nijmegen is not a strong team.
Currently ranked 13th in the standings, it is a team with mid-to-lower strength.
The previous four-point advantage became one point, which made The Hague fans a little uneasy.
The 17th round of the Eredivisie will be held on December 18, which is also the last game of 2016.
With the end of this game, the next game will be in January next year.
The Hague played against newly promoted Sparta Rotterdam at home, and the newly promoted Sparta Rotterdam performed well.
Currently ranked in the middle of the standings, The Hague did not disappoint the fans this time.
Still, he steadily defeated his opponent and successfully stopped the decline.
In the end, we defeated the opponent 2-0 and ended 2016 with a victory.
At this point, 2016 is completely over, and Xue Yang plans to focus on Tianjin Wei next.
Handle player transfer issues, whether on loan or transfer.
But as 2017 was approaching, Rafinha's agent suddenly contacted Xue Yang.
Xue Yang was quite surprised, because the two sides had almost talked about it before.
He didn't know what he wanted to do with him this time. Could it be that something went wrong?
So the two parties began to communicate, and the agent's subsequent words made Xue Yang very angry.
It turns out that Rafinha went back on his word and they no longer wanted to carry out what they had promised.
Raphinha had previously promised to stay until the end of the season.
Xue Yang tried his best to negotiate with Rafinha's agent, hoping that Rafinha could stay.
Raphinha is indeed very important to The Hague. If Raphinha really leaves, there will really be no one available on the right side of The Hague.
If Rafinha really transfers, then The Hague needs signings.
The reason why Raphinha regrets it is simply because he was attracted by Manchester United.
Manchester United contacted Raphinha's agent privately and promised Raphinha a high salary.
This is something he will never get in The Hague, and Manchester United has expressed its high recognition of Rafinha.
Under such circumstances, Rafinha's agent was moved, so he tore up his previous promise, which was just a verbal promise anyway.
The agent's ugly face made Xue Yang furious.
As expected, there are no friends in the football business, so this can break the promise.
The angry Xue Yang really wanted to expose this matter, but Xue Yang didn't need to say it, the news broke out quickly.
A Dutch reporter took photos of the agent meeting with Manchester United executives, although he said it was just a friendly exchange.
But everyone knows that Rafinha is leaving The Hague.
Everyone knows the importance of Rafinha to The Hague, and some Rafinha fans even think that Rafinha is the core player of The Hague.
At the halfway point of the league, Rafinha has scored 8 goals and provided 5 assists.
This data is excellent, and it's not just the Eredivisie.
His statistics in the Europa League group stage were also good, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists.
When the Raphinha transfer scandal broke, Manchester United's head coach Mourinho accepted an interview.
A reporter asked a related question. Although Mourinho did not say it directly, he praised Raphinha.
He bluntly said that Rafinha will be a first-class star in the future, and everyone can understand his meaning.
A few days later, The Hague received an offer. Manchester United offered 30 million euros for Rafinha.
Xue Yang, who was originally angry, calmed down after seeing this offer.
He didn't expect Manchester United to be so generous and pay 30 million euros.
Xue Yang underestimated Rafinha's worth. He thought that 20 million was already the top.
I have to say that these Premier League teams are really rich, and now Xue Yang is really excited.
At present, it seems that Manchester United is really determined to win Rafinha, but this farce is far from over.
Just one day later, Chelsea also made an offer, offering 32 million euros for Rafinha.
Just a few days ago, Chelsea sold Oscar for a sky-high price, and the transfer has been completely completed.
Chelsea now have a lot of money, so they set their sights on Raphinha.
It is worth mentioning that it was Shanghai SIPG of the Chinese Super League that introduced Oscar.
Xue Yang didn't know whether Chelsea was really interested in Rafinha or whether they wanted to cause trouble for Manchester United.
No matter what, it is beneficial to The Hague. In fact, selling Rafinha is a good choice.
The Hague still negotiated with both parties, and after negotiations, both teams increased the transfer fee to 40 million euros.
Next, it depends on where Raphinha wants to go, and The Hague has no way to intervene.
Soon the news came out that The Hague agreed to the transfer of Rafinha, which made The Hague fans very angry.
Ever since Xue Yang joined The Hague, the fans once again rioted.
They protested against The Hague's transfer decision and hoped that The Hague would keep Rafinha.
Under such circumstances, Xue Yang knew that he needed to reduce the pressure on the team.
So I found a familiar reporter. This local Dutch reporter interviewed Xue Yang.
Following Xue Yang's hint, he asked Xue Yang about Rafinha's transfer.
"Rafinha is an excellent player and has always been The Hague's core player." Xue Yang answered.
In fact, Rafinha is not a core player, but Xue Yang wants to bring Rafinha up, so he said this.
"Raphinha has always been very important to The Hague, but now that he has the opportunity to join a wealthy club, it is reasonable for Raphinha to want to leave."
"I also hope that the fans can calm down here. I don't think The Hague will collapse because of this."
"The Hague is still the powerful Hague, and it is still the Hague that strives to win the championship!"
Xue Yang's interview spread quickly, and the fans became a little more at ease.
Xue Yang was also a little cautious. He emphasized that it was reasonable for Rafinha to leave.
I just want to tell the fans that we are not trying to sell Rafinha.
But Rafinha himself wanted to leave, and we in The Hague had to sell him.
At the same time, Xue Yang is also giving fans confidence. The Hague lineup had not changed much before Xue Yang came.
Rafinha and the others are all here, but they are not reused.
So Xue Yang is telling the fans that he is the most important in The Hague.
As long as Xue Yang is here, Hague's strength will not drop too much.
The next transfer was much smoother. The offers from two Premier League giants put Raphinha in a dilemma.
Of course he didn't think much about it before with only Manchester United, but with Chelsea it was different.
As a result, something dramatic happened. Manchester United had always been interested in Rafinha.
Mourinho praised Rafinha several times, but in the end it was Chelsea's offer that Rafinha agreed to.
Raphinha actually chose to go to Chelsea!
