Football today: Eindhoven VS Ajax Juventus VS Naples

Eindhoven has shown a strong sprint ability recently, and currently ranks third in the league with a record of 19 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. Although the team is still behind Ajax, in fact, Eindhoven’s league points are the same as Ajax’s. This game is very crucial for both sides, because there are only the last five rounds in the Dutch League, and there is an eight-point difference between the two teams in Feyenoord, the top of the league. It can be said that no matter which side loses, it will withdraw from the competition for the league title in advance.

In the last five games, Eindhoven has won four games and drawn one, with a remarkable record. In the last game, the team beat Frandan 3-2 away and won four consecutive victories.Judging from the course of the game, the home game of Frendam also caused Eindhoven a lot of trouble. Although the overall strength of Eindhoven was far stronger than that of Frendam, and the team had already achieved a two-goal lead in the first half, it was only that the players of Eindhoven were obviously not focused in the second half, and Frendam made two quick attacks in a row, which easily penetrated Eindhoven’s defense and pulled back two goals. Fortunately, the midfielder Thiel helped Eindhoven with a header.

Ajax’s recent state is also good, with 18 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses. With the advantage of goal difference, Ajax beat Eindhoven to the second place in the league. Ajax’s competitive ability has been greatly affected by the sale of several main players in the winter break, but after all, the team still has many excellent young players. Thanks to the rapid growth of young players, the team still has a certain ability to compete for the championship.

It is worth mentioning that Ajax gets more signing funds by training young players, and fans and friends should have heard about it long ago. Although the team has sold many young players this season, the front, middle and back three lines need to be replenished with fresh blood as soon as possible, Ajax Club will not stop selling players after the end of the season. The outstanding striker Brian and Bellwin will probably transfer and leave after the end of the season, and several main midfielders have also received quotations from other teams. It is conceivable.

For the first time this season, Eindhoven beat Ajax 2-1 away. In the last ten meetings, Eindhoven won four, drew two and lost four, which was even with Ajax. After this six-point war, these two teams will hold a championship dialogue in the Dutch Cup final immediately. Two consecutive hard battles are a big test for both players and head coaches. Since ancient times, the strong dialogue has been about players’ improvisation and psychological quality. Although Eindhoven defeated Ajax for the first time, Ajax has always occupied the initiative in the game. Considering that the recent state of the two teams is quite good, Moreover, there are not too many problems exposed at both ends of the attack and defense. Eindhoven, who has home court advantage, should be the one with the upper hand. As long as the team can maintain a stable defensive state and consume the physical strength of the main players of the other side first, Ajax does not have many bench players to replace. I believe that Eindhoven still has a good chance to complete the season double play for Ajax.

Juventus’ recent state has declined, with a record of 18 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, ranking third in the league. Because the team’s appeal application was passed, the fifteen points that had been fined before were returned to Juventus. This result also led to AC Milan, which was originally ranked fourth in the league, being directly squeezed out of the top four. It can be said that the suspense of Serie A for four has entered a white-hot stage.

In the last match, Juventus held a 1-1 draw with Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final.As Juventus beat their opponents 1-0 at home in the first leg, the team finally advanced to the semi-final of the Europa League with a total score of 2-1 in two rounds. Because Manchester United, the original favorite to win the championship, was unexpectedly eliminated, Juventus replaced Manchester United as the favorite team to win the championship after promotion. However, this Europa League was regarded as the favorite team to win the championship, but it seems that luck has always been bad. Manchester United had a good promotion prospect, and as a result, several main defenders were injured, and they directly lost the promotion places that they were about to get. The thickness of Juventus’ lineup is also not too thick. If the main force is damaged because of multi-line operations, the team is likely to lose more than the gain.

Napoli has just been eliminated from the Champions League, and the players who have been eliminated this time are bound to suffer a serious morale blow. However, Napoli still has a lot of points advantage at the league level. At least there is still a 14-point difference between the team and Lazio, the second place. As long as it can keep from falling into a losing streak, it should be a cinch to win the Serie A championship.

It is worth mentioning that the Napoli striker Osman has returned from injury, and Osman also had a good performance in the last game. If other teammates were not in a low state, Naples would not have been eliminated by AC Milan. Osman is the most crucial point in Naples. Although Quevara Tzko has also contributed a lot of goals to the team this season, Quevara Tzko can’t be compared with Osman in terms of personal ability and tactical role, as long as the follow-up eight.

For the first time this season, Juventus suffered a bitter defeat 1-5 away from home. In the last ten encounters, Juventus won four games, drew two games and lost four games, and there was no advantage at all. Although Juventus also needs points, compared with single-line Napoli, Juventus is already at a disadvantage in terms of schedule, and Naples is a team with sufficient impact. This defense line of Juventus is difficult to stop the opponent’s continuous offensive. In addition, several front-line players of Juventus are in a very general state recently. I believe that Naples is likely to be the main player in this campaign and finish the season double play for Juventus.

The Premier League is about to change!

International football association board has announced plans to increase the "effective time" of the competition, the world referee director.Pierluigi CollinaSaid that Premier League players will stop wasting time.

He is the chairman of the referee committee of the International Football Federation, and he said: "Aston Villa is valid for 43 minutes against brentford. I don’t think anyone is willing to spend money to watch the game for only 43 minutes. "

According to the data available in Colina, the effective time of Premier League matches is 54.49 minutes, while the effective time of Scottish Premier League matches is even lower, at 50.42 minutes. The effective time of the Champions League competition is 58.07 minutes.

International football association board has decided to use the actual time in five key areas, namely substitution, player injury, penalty and red card, VAR and goal celebration, instead of the estimated value, when calculating the total pause time.

Although this may mean an increase in pause time at first, it is thought that this situation will decrease once players realize that their time is only added.

Colina said, "We have seen that using VAR reduces simulation. How many yellow cards are issued because of simulation now? Very few, because players know that it is meaningless to try to simulate. "

"When the players know that wasting time is meaningless, because that time is compensated, I believe that wasting time will be reduced."

Why the exact time is important-even if the score is 7-0.

Colina said that the extra time in Liverpool’s recent loss to Real Madrid at Anfield was seven minutes, but if the actual wasted time in the second half was correctly evaluated, the time would be increased to 16 minutes.

He said that if the correct guidelines are applied, Liverpool’s seven-goal victory over Manchester United should also add more time.

Colina said: "Last weekend, there were 10 matches in the Premier League. Four of them have more than 10 minutes of extra time, and some other games have no accurate time, probably because the scores are 7-0 and 4-0. "

"In the Liverpool game, four minutes were added in the first half and three minutes in the second half. But he scored six goals in the second half. "

"Maybe at some point in the future, we will make a rule that if there is a big gap between the two teams, no extra time will be given. But this will be written into the rules of the game.

"Now this is common sense, but it is common sense only if it doesn’t affect anyone.

"I can understand that it is difficult to show the correct time when the score is 7-0.

"But if it is stipulated that the whole goal difference may affect the final ranking of the game, it may be different to score a goal or not."
