After the draw, Inter fans were jubilant - they met a loser!

Ajax was also jubilant - wow! Who are you talking about losers?

As the club with the most Chinese fans in the Serie A era, Inter returned to the era of star black hole after a brief period of glory.

Four and a half years later, only Thornton was left in the lineup that won the treble, but there were still many stars.

Icardi, Vidic, Handanovic, Podolski, Kovacic, Palacio, Felipe, Brozovic, Saric...

With such a lineup, they only played 8 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses in Serie A, which is really shocking.

You know, Serie A is not as strong as it was 20 years ago. With such a lineup, except for Juventus and Naples, it is difficult to play against other teams.

Inter fans think Ajax is a big gift package, and Ajax thinks Inter is a waste.

But at this time, Ajax has no time to care about Inter Milan. The key task at the moment is to defeat PSV Eindhoven.

After 24 rounds of the Dutch Eredivisie, the championship battle has become a thorough battle between two giants.

PSV Eindhoven has 21 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, ranking first in the league with 64 points.

Ajax has 20 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, ranking second in the league with 62 points.

Feyenoord, which ranks third, has only 44 points, 20 points behind PSV Eindhoven, and has actually bid farewell to the championship.

Up to now, PSV Eindhoven has been eliminated from the Europa League and the Dutch Cup, and the only championship they can compete for is the league.

But from another perspective, they can devote all their energy to the league and use the strongest lineup to defend the league.

The advantage of playing like this is that you can stay focused, have plenty of physical strength, and reduce the risk of injuries.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. For a team with an average age of only 22 years old, using 11 players to defend the league means that the remaining dozen players will have no games to play in the next three months.

And if they gamble everything and fail to win the league championship, it means that they have nothing this season.

Neither get results nor train young players.

So De Boer will directly play psychological warfare in the press conference after the Europa League: "PSV made a mistake."

"They have been playing with the same lineup and have not achieved the desired results. I really can't think of a reason to boost their morale in the locker room."

"Can they really win the league championship? I don't think so."

"PSV is only two points ahead of us in the standings, which is not an advantage. As long as we can win the next game, I am confident that we can maintain the points advantage to the end."

"They think they have the hope of turning the situation around away from home, but this is not the case. Their players have reason to be frustrated."

"They did not make a choice, so they created a situation of two games a week for themselves."

"Obviously, we have to seize the opportunity and take the lead in our hands. At that time, they will face unbearable pressure."

De Boer is the second head coach that Sun Yu has seen at the press conference. The first person is Ferguson.

If there is no Ferguson, the Premier League era is likely to belong to Wenger. The Arsenal coach will be a great head coach in any era, but it's a pity that he met Ferguson.

Despite this, only Arsenal led by Wenger could continue to put pressure on Manchester United in that era, and they also created a record of 49 unbeaten games.

It’s just that Ferguson is too good. He is a master among masters in terms of tactical level, personnel management, personnel use and psychological game.

There were several seasons when Arsenal was often ahead of Manchester United by nearly ten points before Christmas, but Ferguson predicted the trend of Arsenal throughout the season when Arsenal was leading.

At that time, everyone was dismissive, but he didn’t expect his predictions to come true one by one. He was simply an old prophet.

De Boer’s words were like rubbing salt in someone else’s wounds. This way is to show the opponent’s predicament and embarrassment.

Sun Yu believes that if Stam is the head coach of Eindhoven, this guy is likely to speak until the pre-match press conference.

But Cocu couldn’t help it and came out to accept media interviews.

During the interview, Cocu specifically commented on Ajax's performance this season: "Ajax lost two important players at the beginning of the season, but did not invest much in the transfer market."

"They arrogantly thought that winning five consecutive championships was a matter of course, but it was obviously not the case. After losing to us, they quickly lost another game.They have actually fallen behind and have completely lost their competitiveness in the Champions League.

"The reason why Ajax can catch up with us in the standings is actually because some young people have suddenly grown up, but Frank did not foresee this situation before the season.

"Ajax played four 1-0 games, and the goal was scored by the young man named Sun Yu. If it weren't for him, we would probably have led by double digits."

When asked about De Boer's remarks at the press conference, Cocu seemed unimpressed: "He spoke as if he had already won the game, but the game had not yet started."

"Since we can win away, why can't we continue to win at home?"

"He used Ajax to show his success in three events, but the results will tell everything."

"If they had drawn Inter Milan in the first round of the Europa League, I believe he would never have said such a thing. ”

Time flies and it’s the pre-match press conference. After Cocu was interviewed, De Boer waited until the press conference to respond to the other party: "If we draw a strong team in the first round of the Europa League, even if we lose the game, I will at least let the young people get training and then win the league trophy. This has happened in the past four seasons. ”

"But luck is part of the cup. We drew a team that is not very strong in the first round and Inter Milan in the second round. There is no problem at all. The important thing is to make different choices according to different situations. ”

"We are well prepared and I believe we will win the next game."

When asked about Sun Yu's current position in the team, De Boer smiled and said: "He is adapting to the core position and has done a good job."

"Some people say that Sun Yu's appearance saved Ajax, but why can Ajax always cultivate star players? ”

When the reporter asked De Boer to evaluate Sun Yu and Depay, De Boer answered firmly: "Memphis is an excellent player and has been tested in major competitions. He is entering a mature period. "

"But in my opinion, Sun Yu is already at the same level as Memphis. Although he is not perfect yet, he is growing at a visible speed and he will become the first left winger in the Netherlands in the future."

De Boer's remarks directly raised the heat of the championship battle to the peak.

This game is not only a championship battle between Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, but also a battle between Sun Yu and Depay for the first left winger in the Eredivisie, and even the first star in the Eredivisie.

The media's views are unprecedentedly consistent. The best player of the Eredivisie season will be between Sun Yu and Depay. The only suspense is whose team can win the league championship.
