As a Morocco international, Mazraoui returned for the first time since injury, and his return has also made Ajax's defence less empty.

The combination of midfield is still a combination of one old and two young.

Experienced passer Shenai leads two potential stars who can't die.

The front court is still led by the new generation of strong striker Gu Hao of the Eredivisie, as well as the veteran Tadic and Moroccan brother Ziyech.

This Ajax, young, experienced and hard-working, is a team that is extremely troubled by PSV Eindhoven.

PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, continues the team that won the Eredivisie last season, but with some new blood.

PSV Eindhoven's front-line line-up is still the most attacking in the Eredivisie.

It consists of Borgveen, who is fast and dribbling, Luke De Jong, who is physically impactful, and Mexico international Ilvin Lozano.

The goal of the three of them almost swept up PSV Eindhoven's team last season.

Moreover, they also have Di Cajaro, a young big center, to make up for his weaknesses, and also bring in the young blood of youth team thigh Belhewein.

It can be said that if Ajax did not have Gu Hao, then PSV Eindhoven's set of strikers would be the strongest strikers in the Netherlands.

But because of Gu Hao's existence, Ajax's forward line has creativity that all teams do not have, which also makes Eredivisie fans discuss.

Who are the strongest strikers in the Eredivisie between the two teams.

Only today's game will tell.

When the players from both sides arrived, the stadium immediately spread the smell of gunpowder.

The referee had already sensed that the atmosphere was wrong on both sides, so when he shook hands with the captains of both sides, he specially reminded that today's blowing penalty was very strong, and too fierce physical confrontation was not allowed, otherwise he would not hesitate to give cards.

The captains of both sides naturally nodded in agreement, saying that today was definitely a friendly and harmonious match.

Soon, with the referee's whistle, the match that all fans in the Netherlands were waiting for officially began.

Gu Hao, who is kicking off in the center, has long replaced the template with the Lukaku template.

As the most suitable template for the Ajax system at present, if Gu Hao wants to win, he must take on the task of the team's fulcrum center.

In today's game, it doesn't matter if you score a goal or not, assist or not, anyway, don't lose to PSV Eindhoven.

"Everyone, pay attention! Friendship first, competition second, give me a good treat to our beloved Eindhoven.

De Jong shouted in midfield.

Gu Hao smiled after hearing this, and then passed the ball to De Jong.

The game officially began.

After De Jong received the ball, he was in no hurry to pass the ball.

Instead, he waited for PSV Eindhoven's three strikers to press towards the front before passing the ball.

His aim was to pull PSV Eindhoven's formation apart so that the midfield had enough space to pass the ball up front.

De Jong proved right.

PSV Eindhoven's striker found that it was ineffective after a few minutes of pressing and a serious loss of physical strength, so he gave up high-intensity pressing and squeezed the space of the Ajax players instead.

But they didn't expect that Ajax was already ready, and they had spent a day training small-area passing.

Eindhoven's tactics of squeezing space did not even have a single steal.

And for five minutes of the game, the ball was at Ajax's feet.

PSV Eindhoven's coach Van Nistelrooy kept an eye on the pitch and knew when he saw the closeness of Ajax's small-scale cooperation.

So he walked to the sidelines without hurry and began to pay attention to the every move of the Ajax players.

As a former Eredivisie, La Liga and Premier League Golden Boot, Van Nistelrooy's access to information on the pitch is top-notch.

This is also his biggest advantage after transforming into a coach.

He knows how to arrange attacking players to attack the opponent's weaknesses.

"Burgvine! Don't pass after holding the ball, break through Tagliafik first! Blind can't stop you after breaking through him!

"Luke De Jong, pay attention to receiving the pass of the player at any time! Try to take advantage of your header! "

Ilvin Lozano don't think about breaking through Mazraoui's defense, he's tough, you need to do playmaking up front, help Luke de Jong with the ball!"

"Put the offense on the right!"

Van Nistelrooy's words quickly changed the situation on the field.

Eindhoven, who was originally a bit chaotic in attack, immediately produced two threatening shots under the guidance of Van Nistelrooy.

Van der Sar also knew Van Nistelrooy knew Ajax's weaknesses.

He has no guidance because he said it before he came on the pitch and now it's up to the Ajax players to play.

The Ajax crowd on the field obviously felt that the defensive pressure was much greater.

Every time Tagliafik stepped forward to pass it, Eindhoven's crowd always pressed hard, causing him to dare not step forward.

Because of his inability to move forward, Donny van de Beek, who was alone in the left midfield, was always caught between two or more defenders, which made it difficult for him to pass the ball.

Tagliafik naturally noticed this, and whenever he wanted to step forward to respond, the chicken thief Bergvin always ran behind him, so that Bergvink could catch the ball and face the central defender directly.

"It's so uncomfortable."

Tagliafik said breathlessly.

Not only did he have to tandem the left attack, but he also had to contract the defense, which was a big test for his physical strength.

"PSV Eindhoven's both full-backs are defensive defenders, Tadic and Ziyech are defended to death, and Gu Hao is even defended by the opponent's back, which is a bit difficult."

De Jong is also embarrassed, and as the playmaker of the team's backfield, he clearly understands that there is a stalemate on the field.

Tenth minute of the game.

The Ajax midfielder made a pass error, the ball was intercepted by the opposing midfielder, and then quickly passed.

De Jong, who is defending at the back, has faced the slow Blind and will face the goalkeeper if he does not defend well.

At the moment of the shot, De Jong reacted quickly and tackled directly behind him.

But the ball was touched by Bergvine first, and De Jong's tackle also caused Bergvine to lose his center of gravity and fall.

The referee who saw this scene immediately ran in front of De Jong and quickly pulled out a yellow card.

"It's not! Umpire! I didn't have a malicious foul!

De Jong explained with wide eyes, but the referee didn't listen.

Gu Hao also ran to the referee at this moment to explain, but the referee had already given the card and insisted on upholding the original judgment.

De Jong was a little annoyed.

Not only did he receive a yellow card, but he also gave a well-placed free-kick from the opposite side.

"It's okay, defend well."

At this time, the captain of the team, Sterné, also comforted De Jong.

Because the free-kick was well positioned, the Ajax crowd also put on an impermeable wall of people.

Goalkeeper Onana is also nervous, as long as this goal crosses the wall, it is almost a must-score, and he is also very apprehensive.

Sure enough.
