Two shots and four passes also made him the best player in the game. The six goals in this game fully demonstrated his personal ability and skills, and also demonstrated his importance and contribution to the game.
This was the second six-goal victory over an opponent in the league. This game was undoubtedly a perfect performance for Xiao Yu, and it also contributed greatly to Ajax's victory.
Since then, Ajax has only the final round of the league left, and that game will not be scheduled until next month.
The next main tasks for Ajax are the Europa League semi-finals and the Dutch Cup final against arch-rival Feyenoord.
The opponent for the Europa League has been determined, and it is still a team from the Bundesliga - Hamburg.
Hamburg is the only club that has participated in Germany's top football league in all seasons. In the club's history, it has won the German football championship 6 times and the German Cup 3 times.
In addition, Anderlecht defeated Belgium in the 1977 European Cup Winners' Cup final and won the European championship for the first time.
Then in 1983, it was Hamburg's golden period, and that year they defeated Juventus from Italy and won the Champions League.
However, Hamburg was also one of the victims of the "black whistle" case in Germany. For people in the football circle, there is zero tolerance for black whistle and match-fixing.
Today's Hamburg is not the "one step away" team that played in the second division in Xiao Yu's previous life. In the 2009-10 season, Hamburg had a record of 4:2 Wolfsburg and 1:0 Bayern Munich.
In the Europa League, they went all the way. From the 5:2 Standard Suns in the last eight, to the 6:5 Anderlecht in the top 16 and the 3:3 PSV Eindhoven in the top 32, this Along the way, he has shown great scoring ability.
However, this game was given the title of "revenge" by fans in the Netherlands, because their other giant team PSV Eindhoven was eliminated by Hamburg.
On the morning of the 21st, the Ajax team flew to Hamburg, Germany to prepare for the next day’s game.
Hamburg’s lineup this season is also extremely strong.
There are many international players in the team, especially the Dutch national team's main defender Matthiessen, who is also very familiar with the Dutch tactical style. This game is also a variable for the Ajax forward.
Further forward, there are also many good players, such as the Brazilian iron midfielder Ze Roberto in the defensive midfielder, and the forward line has Paul Guerrero and the king of the small penalty area-Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Although several of them are at the end of their careers, that also represents more experience.
Whether Ajax can escape unscathed in this game is still unknown.
"CCTV! CCTV! What we bring to you today is a game in the first round of the UEFA Europa League semi-finals in the 2009-10 season. Hamburger SV of the Bundesliga played against the new Eredivisie champion Ajax. I am Duan Xuan, guided by my partner Tao Weitao."
"Good morning, viewers, my name is Tao Wei!"
"Director Tao, which team do you like more in today's game?"
"Hamburg had one win and one draw in the first two rounds of the league. They beat Bochum 2:1 away from home, but lost 0:1 at home to Mainz. However, Guerrero had a rest in that league game and his offensive strength was also retained."
"On the other hand, Ajax won two rounds of the league and actually scored 12 goals against their opponents. This kind of offensive strength is enough to scare all opponents. However, it has also been evaluated by the outside world that Ajax's opponents are low in strength. That’s why Ajax’s offense felt like it was in a no-man’s land.”
"So which team has the advantage?"
"Then we have to look at the starting lineups of the two teams first. After all, every tactic has a different effect."
"Okay, the director has just given me the starting lineups of the two teams. Let's take a look at the Hamburg team playing at home first."
"Goalkeeper No. 1 Frank Rost."
"The four backs are No. 6 Denis Ogo, No. 5 Joris Matheson, No. 17 Jerome Boateng, and No. 20 Guy Demel. Matheson and Boateng play double central defenders, Ogo and De Mel Mel lined up on either side.”
"The No. 8 single midfielder comes from Brazil's veteran Ze Roberto, who is known as an iron waist."
"On both sides, midfielder No. 15 Troshovsky and field captain No. 14 Yarolim."
"No. 21 Jonathan Pitruvapa in the attacking midfield position."
"Double forward No. 9 Paulo Guerrero partners with No. 22 Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, who is on loan from Real Madrid."
"The formation is 4-4-2, which is also a style of play that Hamburg is good at."
"Guerrero's return is a crucial bonus for Hamburg's forward line. Although Ruud van Nistelrooy has a great name, he is already a 36-year-old veteran after all. Most of the time, he relies on years of experience. In terms of movement and threat creation, in sports, age is really an insurmountable gap."
"Yes! As we age, our body's functions decline irreversibly. We may no longer be able to reach positions that were easy to reach in the past, and we may no longer be able to perform actions that were easy to perform."
"Compared with Hamburg's starting lineup, Ajax's side is really much younger."
"Goalkeeper No. 1 Dutch national goalkeeper Stekelenberg."
"The four backs are No. 2 Van der Wiel, No. 5 Verhentong, No. 19 Toby Alverdere and No. 8 Emmanuelle Sen."
"Emmanuelson plays as left back today."
"Single midfielder No. 40 Demi Dezeu."
"The double attacking midfielder No. 22 Sime De Jong partners with the veteran No. 18 Gabri who is also the captain on the field."
"Double winger No. 9 Pantalic partners with No. 7 Xiao Yu."
"The center forward is still No. 16 Luis Suarez."
"Martin Jol used a 4-3-3 formation in this game, and he also tried many times to use players from other positions to play left back. It seems that Ajax is in urgent need of someone who can be the main force. Left back to strengthen the defence."
"This also depends on the transfer situation of Ajax players after the end of this season. In comparison, excellent strikers like Xiao Yu and Suarez will definitely be snapped up by major wealthy clubs."
"Well, after all, the Eredivisie platform is still a little smaller."
"Okay, we see that the players from both sides have already appeared. The Hamburg team playing at home is wearing white uniforms today and will attack from the left to the right side of the screen later. The Ajax team that is visiting the Nordbank Arena today is A black competition uniform.”
For players like Hamburg, Xiao Yu is most familiar with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
In his previous life, he basically only watched Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League.
I still watch Chelsea because the jersey of the college football team is Chelsea.
Later, Ruud van Nistelrooy moved to Real Madrid, which made Xiao Yu chase him. He is definitely the king of the small penalty area and deserves his title.
As for Ze Roberto, he is also an old player of Real Madrid. He landed in Europe at the end of the last century. Ze Roberto’s first stop was the La Liga giant Real Madrid, but after his second trip to Europe, he joined the Bundesliga club LeBron James. Wakusen made a name for himself, and later joined Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich.
Xiao Yu still remembers that he missed a must-goal in the Champions League match against Chelsea, but Xiao Yu is also skeptical about how much strength the 36-year-old veteran has left.
As for the players in Hamburg's backcourt, Xiao Yu has heard of Matheson's name. To be honest, he is not very familiar with it. I just heard from their teammates of the Dutch national team on the way to the stadium that he is indeed a tough guy. The judgment of the football line and the defensive moves are all ruthless, and they also told Xiao Yu to be careful.
Xiao Yu also shrugged and told his teammates that I was playing on the left today and should not meet him directly.
Beep! ~
As the referee blows his whistle, the game begins.
Van Nistelrooy kicked the ball to Paul Guerrero beside him.
Suarez looked at the ball and scurried over like a scurrying mole.
However, after all, Guerrero is not that kind of 18th-level player. He just pulled the ball and turned around to let Suarez pass, and then calmly passed the football to the captain Yarolim.
Suarez, who was thrown over, also bared his teeth and smiled at his teammates. If such a ball could be snatched away, Guerrero would be embarrassed to play again in this game.
What Ajax players and fans did not expect was that Hamburg showed amazing control today.
Every movement and every pass made by their players seemed calm and powerful, as if they were a solid mountain that could not be shaken by the opponent's impact.
Their eyes were calm and firm, a look that showed absolute confidence in their abilities.
Whenever Ajax players approached, they passed the ball safely out of the danger zone with extremely precise movement, and always had their teammates available to catch it.
It felt like the football was glued to the feet of the Hamburg players. No matter how much the Ajax players tried to snatch it, they could hold the ball firmly and not give their opponents any chance.
For nearly five minutes, Ajax charged again and again and stole again, but they were unable to break Hamburg's control.
Today, the Hamburg team's football intelligence and excellent technology allowed the fans at the Nordbank Arena and their distant rival Ajax to re-recognize a different Hamburg.
In these five minutes, they were like masters on the football field. No matter how violent the storm, they could not lose their cool.
With their strong backcourt control, they built a solid barrier for the team and made the Ajax players very uncomfortable.
Nearly five minutes into the game, the football was still under control. Martin Jol on the sidelines also fell into thinking. This situation is not good, but it is not impossible.
He didn't make any changes. He also wanted to see how long this Hamburg team could handle such a high load on the ball.
So he just shouted to his disciples, asking them to continue to put pressure on the Hamburg team, intending to make the opponent make mistakes under the pressure.
