April 2nd ushered in the 28th round of the Eredivisie. The Hague hosted Roda JC.
Roda JC's performance is very poor, currently ranked second from the bottom in the standings.
Roda JC may be relegated, which shows that its strength is relatively weak.
The Hague easily defeated its opponent 5-0. Victory means that the point difference will not be narrowed.
At the same time, Xue Yang was also paying attention to another game, this game was between Feyenoord and Ajax.
Xue Yang kept thinking silently in his heart:
"Come on Ajax! Come on Ajax!"
The result made Xue Yang very happy, Ajax successfully defeated Feyenoord 2-1.
Feyenoord finally made a mistake and the point difference between the two teams returned to 5 points.
This is absolutely great news for The Hague.
The Hague fans were very excited, as if they had already seen The Hague win the Eredivisie championship.
April 6 ushered in the 29th round of the Eredivisie, with The Hague challenging Willem II away.
Now it is Feyenoord's turn to hope that The Hague will make mistakes, otherwise they will really have no hope in the next league.
Feyenoord's opponent was the last-placed Advance Eagles. As a result, they bloodbathed the Advance Eagles 8-0.
They couldn't accept their previous defeat and lost at such a critical moment.
How could The Hague give them such an opportunity? Willem II is ranked 9th in the standings, which is in the middle of the Eredivisie.
In the end, The Hague won the opponent 2-1, and the result was more difficult than expected.
Xue Yang knew that at this time, the whole team could no longer let down their guard.
But we couldn't bear the team's poor condition, but fortunately we won the game in the end.
There are only a few rounds left before the end of the season. Although The Hague leads Feyenoord by 5 points, the pressure on the players is very high.
The outside world has great expectations for them and is looking forward to seeing The Hague win the Eredivisie championship this season.
Moreover, there will be Europa League matches next, and the players' mentality will be affected to some extent under the heavy pressure.
So in the 30th round of the Eredivisie on April 9, The Hague faced Groningen at home, and The Hague actually lost the game.
This surprised many people. Everyone originally thought that Groningen was no match for The Hague.
However, what Xue Yang didn't expect was that Feyenoord wasn't much better.
Facing Zwolle, which was third from the bottom, Feyenoord actually drew.
During this period, both The Hague and Feyenoord were not stable, losing and drawing.
Under such circumstances, PSV, which had been widened before, actually caught up.
There are only 2 points left behind second place Feyenoord.
As for The Hague, due to the loss, their lead over Feyenoord became 4 points.
And the same is true for fourth-placed Ajax, who are 3 points behind Feyenoord.
Originally there was no suspense about the top two teams in the Eredivisie, but unexpectedly, Ajax and PSV caught up.
Although they are a little behind The Hague, they have a chance to catch up with Feyenoord.
This made Feyenoord very unconvinced. They played well for most of the schedule.
In the last little time, we ended up in the current situation.
The Eredivisie suddenly became suspenseful, and under such circumstances, the Europa League quarterfinals began unknowingly.
On April 14, in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, The Hague faced Genk at home.
Genk has also trained several potential young players, and Xue Yang did a lot of work before this game.
Only then did he realize that what he was most worried about was that Jamaican winger Leon Bailey had transferred and left the team.
Leon Bailey has joined Bayer Leverkusen, which now puts a lot less pressure on The Hague.
Of course, Genk still has excellent players, such as midfielder Malinovsky, who is about to turn 24.
As a midfielder, Malinovsky's defense is a bit poor, but other than that, he is quite good in terms of body, dribbling, passing and even shooting.
Overall, Malinovsky is indeed good, but in the midfield, Genk is definitely not as good as Den Haag.
With the combination of De Jong and Ndidi, Genk is completely at a disadvantage.
Malinovsky went to Serie A in the future and joined the strong team Atalanta.
Then there is the defender Castagne. Castagne is a little bit worse, but he is still pretty good.
Castagne also joined Atalanta and later moved to Leicester City.
In addition to the two of them, Genk has several players who will be transferred to the five major leagues in the future.
But they all play for weak teams and their potential is relatively limited.
Unlike The Hague, except for the goalkeeper position, the potential of other positions is above 80 points.
Moreover, The Hague's players have basically been trained, and Genk is indeed no match for The Hague.
The Hague finally won 3-1. Although they defeated their opponents, Xue Yang was not so optimistic.
Because Genk scored an away goal, this may become a hidden danger in the next round.
Just two days later was the 31st round of the Eredivisie, and The Hague faced the biggest challenge at the last moment.
The Hague plays against Eindhoven at home. If this hurdle is passed, then The Hague's championship is basically guaranteed.
If they can't get past it, then Feyenoord will most likely catch up with another three points.
After all, Feyenoord is different from The Hague in that they don't have the pressure of the Europa League.
There is no way to compare this with The Hague. You must know that they just played a big battle with Genk two days ago.
As a result, we had to play PSV Eindhoven again two days later. As expected, it was still difficult to fight on multiple fronts.
Fortunately, Xue Yang chose to give up strategically in the previous Dutch Cup.
Otherwise, The Hague really couldn't handle the third-line battle. As a result, The Hague drew 1-1 with Eindhoven in this game.
This is something that can't be helped, and it's good to get a point.
In another game, Feyenoord defeated Utrecht without any suspense and brought the score as close as 2 points.
The Hague is starting to feel pressure again, but the good news is that the opponents after that are not that strong.
The Hague's strength can fully cope with it, so The Hague still has the greatest hope of winning the championship.
On April 21, in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, The Hague challenged Genk away.
Xue Yang was quite worried about Genk before. After all, they got an away goal.
Fortunately, The Hague drew 1-1 with their opponent and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The opponent was Lyon, a strong French team, and before they knew it, The Hague had already reached the semi-finals of the Europa League.
It is worth mentioning that Ajax, also a strong Eredivisie team, also advanced.
But his luck was not very good and he met the Premier League giant Manchester United.
It is estimated that the odds are stacked against the odds, if The Hague can defeat Lyon.
Then The Hague will have a dialogue with Manchester United for the third time this season, and it will also be a competition for the Europa League championship.
Some fans didn't think that far ahead. After all, Lyon is not a weak team.
There are many outstanding players in the team, and being able to reach the semifinals shows their strength.
