"How to say?"
"Think about it, if Fulham completes its goal in the league and scores a point away from home, then they can also relax some of the rhythm of the European war. But now that they have completely lost to Manchester United, then Fulham wants honor this year. Try our best to win the Europa League!”

"Translated as: Forward, Ajax, move forward with all your strength, start from here..."
The fans sang in unison at the Amsterdam Arena.
This is their home court.
Fans are also looking forward to their home team Ajax giving PSV Eindhoven a perfect revenge in this game.
At 5:25 minutes in the evening, Amsterdam time, players from both sides entered the stadium.
The attendance rate of this game at the Amsterdam Arena was as high as 99%. Because the colors of the home jerseys of both teams are red and white, the entire stands seemed to be plunged into a sea of red and white.
Beep! ~
The referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Ajax took the lead.
Suarez pushed the football back, turned around and headed towards PSV Eindhoven.
Xiao Yu took the ball and made a beautiful Marseille spin to dodge Ruzak's attack, and then dribbled the ball into the opponent's half.
Ajax's entire offensive line also started pressing forward.
As the number of defensive players around him increased, Xiao Yu also achieved his goal. After successfully attracting the defense of four opponents, he passed the football to Emmanuellesson on the wing.
Emmanuelson took the ball and hit it with a kick, and Salcido also followed up urgently.
However, due to Xiao Yu's dribbling, PSV Eindhoven's defensive position was successfully destroyed. For a moment, Emmanuelson felt like he was in no one's land, and quickly completed the bottom, followed by a big kick. Cross.
Seeing the football coming, Suarez and Pantalic accelerated towards the PSV Eindhoven penalty area.
"Okay! Shot!"
"Suarez got the first point!"
"Header!"
"Oops! Isaksson was very focused and won the ball steadily."
"Hey! Let's take this ball as a warm-up. It seems that Ajax is very determined to win this game."
Ajax's first attack at the beginning was eventually resolved by the PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper. However, it was less than a minute into the game and there was still a lot of time left for Ajax.
In the 3rd minute, Ajax attacked for the fourth time. Xiao Yu received the football from Dezeu from the wing and successfully got rid of Englaar's defense by relying on the change of rhythm.
Facing Ibrahim Afellay, who was already pressing forward, he raised his foot and cut inside without any solution, easily breaking through his defense.
Then, without waiting for Peters in the penalty area to come up to defend, he fired a violent volley in the direction of PSV Eindhoven's goal.
The football flew out at high speed like a successfully ignited Dongfeng missile, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. Dongfeng Express, the mission must be achieved, and the football accurately penetrated into the upper left corner of PSV Eindhoven's goal.
In front of the goal, Isaacson was blocked by his own defender and it was too late to make any move. He had to watch the football enter the gate he was guarding.
This is the effect of a surprise long-range shot, it hits someone by surprise.
"Xiao Yu! Shoot!"
"The ball went in!"
"World wave!"
"In the 3rd minute of the game, Xiao Yu penetrated PSV Eindhoven's goal with a long shot, and Ajax opened the scoring!"
"Hey! I've got this start!"
After scoring the goal, Xiao Yu excitedly rushed to the corner kick area, performed a long slide and knelt down, then stood up and opened his arms. He did not forget his celebration of the arrival of the king.
In just three minutes, Xiao Yu had used up his guaranteed shot card, and now he had to rely on his own strength.
However, perhaps because of the excitement of scoring a goal in three minutes, the Ajax players seemed to be a little distracted.
In the 4th minute, PSV Eindhoven's Toivonen broke into the penalty area against offside. When Toby Alveeder did not take a shot, Toivonen fell into the Ajax penalty area.
The referee blew the whistle decisively and gave a yellow dot package.
There is no VAR in the stadium at this time, and the referee will at most ask for the opinion of the referee on the sidelines. However, there are players blocking the linesmen's view at this time, and they cannot clearly see whether Alvid Redel really took the kick. Take Toivonen to the ground.
Although Alfred Redl and captain Stekelenberg stepped forward to patiently explain to the referee, the penalty would not be changed.
Toivonen, who created the opportunity, took the penalty himself.
Stekelenberg in front of the goal also took a few deep breaths and clapped his hands to signal his opponent to come!
I saw Toivonen running, lifting his legs, and shooting!
The football flew to the right side of the goal.
Stekelenberg also jumped to his left side.
Snapped!
"Toivonen! Cum!"
"It's coming!"
"Stekelenberg saved the penalty!"
"Alverde Redl, who had just been wronged, cleared the football from the sideline immediately."
"Hehe! This kick went so far, it went directly to the sideline of PSV's half."
After clearing the ball, Alvidreder and goalkeeper Stekelenberg gave a high-five to celebrate.
Since the referee did not give us fairness, then we will fight for it ourselves.
PSV Eindhoven threw a ball from the backcourt and the football quickly passed through the midfield.
When Amrabat continued to advance with the ball, veteran Dezeu cut off the football with a sliding tackle.
However, Amrabat was also extremely smart. When Dezeu stretched out his foot to tackle, he turned around and used his legs to protect the football. In this way, Dezeu was the first to tackle the player.
The referee had no choice but to give Dezeu a Topaz God of War card.
However, thanks to Dezeu's "foul".
PSV Eindhoven's fast break rhythm has been completely disrupted, and they can only start a positional war with Ajax step by step.
In the 23rd minute, Sime de Jong dribbled the ball forward and was protected by Emmanuelson and Ennoch on the wings.
Seeing Pantalic running away into a gap, Sim De Jong passed the ball through the ball and passed it into the area where Pantalic ran.
Pantalic catches the ball, moves the ball, and shoots in one go.
But lacking some luck, the football hit the post in the near corner of the goal and bounced out.
However, the football did not run far and once again came to the route of Sim De Jong.
Sim De Jong also made no concessions and volleyed when faced with the flying football.
The football was powerful and flew towards PSV Eindhoven's goal at high speed.
But Isaacson in front of the goal once again showed his brave side, clenching his fists and hitting the football high into the goal area.
