Chapter 1545 The Door to Success
Even after boarding the bus to the airport, the Ajax players were still immersed in the warm atmosphere of the Royal Festival Hall, and what Yang Yang just said was still floating in their minds.
In the eyes of others, it is Yang Yang's outcry, but in the hearts of Ajax players, this is also Yang Yang's high hopes and ardent expectations for them.
Can they really become the best and best players in world football? Do they really have a chance to get on that podium?
Even this group of brave and fearless young people doubted it and couldn't believe it.
But Yang Yang was on the podium, telling them loudly and forcefully, yes!
As long as they are willing to work hard, they have a chance to achieve it!
If it is said that Yang Yang led the team to the Champions League group stage, reversed Bayern Munich 3-1 at the Allianz Arena, and then defeated PSV Eindhoven 3-0 at the Philippe Stadium, it opened a new window for Ajax players. The windows let them see an unprecedented scenery, so tonight in London, Yang Yang opened a door for them with his own hands.
This door leads to a place called success!
...
"You say, do we really have a chance?"
In the silent carriage, such a sentence came from nowhere.
No one even cared who was asking, because they all had such doubts in their hearts.
Everyone was silent, as if no one had ever asked this question.
Yang Yang is still staying at the Royal Festival Concert. He has just won an award and there are still many procedures to go. He will meet everyone at the airport later, so there are only players and Van der Sar and other employees on the bus.
I don't know how long it took before Captain De Ligt clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "Yes, the boss said it can be done, and I believe it can be done!"
"That's right, he said yes, then it will definitely work!"
"Yes, we all know who the boss is. He has such expectations of us, which proves that we can do it."
"We will work harder and focus more on the game in the future, and we will definitely succeed!"
"We can't live up to the boss' ardent expectations of us!"
"Yes, this is not only good for us, but also for the boss and Ajax!"
Sancho sat at the position closest to the window. Hearing what everyone said, he was on fire.
He was born in London, but this city is very strange to him, because he grew up in the impoverished North London, and his youth training was also in Watford, a northern suburb, but he has a wish since he was a child, that is Let everyone in this city remember his name, Jadon Sancho!
Tonight, he succeeded in half.
Because of Yang Yang's relationship, I believe that at least many fans will see his name in tomorrow's newspaper, but he feels that this is far from enough, and this is not what he wants.
He hopes that one day, he can rely on his own strength and performance to let everyone remember him, and let Manchester City and other people and clubs who once ignored him know him again!
What Yang Yang said tonight made him more convinced that he could do it!
...
At the same time, in a family in Molde, Norway, a young man who was only 18 years old, but was unusually tall, but his face was still immature, was blushing with excitement, looking towards his Father roared.
"Did you hear? Dad, he said, we have a chance to be on that podium in the future, we all have a chance!"
Alfred Inge Harland, who was sitting opposite him, looked at his precious son inexplicably, secretly amused in his heart, after all, he was a young man, and he was easily incited by Yang Yang's one or two words.
However, this is also a good thing, at least he will work harder and harder for it.
The old Haaland was once a Premier League professional player, playing for teams such as Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Manchester City, but in 1998, in a game between Leeds United and Manchester United, Manchester United captain Roy Keane In order to stop Haaland, he severely damaged the cruciate ligament of his knee.
Three years later, Haaland transferred to Manchester City and served as the captain, but in a Manchester derby, Roy Keane shoveled his right knee again. Although Keane got a red card for this, Haaland also So retired.
Since then, he has put all his heart and soul on his precious son Erling Haaland. He hopes that his son can inherit his football dream and even do better than himself.
Fortunately, Erling Haaland's career started smoothly, and he quickly switched from Brune to the Norwegian giant Molde, and was quickly selected by Ajax and got a further opportunity.
Ajax has clearly conveyed to Molde that in January 19, Harland will transfer to Ajax.
And now, Harland Jr. is very excited because of the words of Ajax's number one star and head coach Yang Yang.
Although the old Harland has passed the old age, he is still willing to believe Yang Yang's words, because he believes that his precious son is a genius and has the opportunity to stand on the podium.
...
Yang Yang won the World Player of the Year again, and his words on the podium in London soon spread around the world.
Countless media reporters and fans were full of interest in his statement and explained it one after another.
The vast majority of people agree with Yang Yang's analysis, and believe that European football should indeed make changes. Player transfer fees are rising steadily, and players' annual salaries are rising explosively. This has become an unbearable burden for many teams. .
Many club managers have even publicly stood up and responded to Yang Yang's remarks, thinking that UEFA should formulate policies as soon as possible to change this situation, otherwise, a new round of football management crisis will definitely come.
More people are also admiring Yang Yang's courage and determination, thinking that he dares to use practical actions to change this behavior in European football, which is in line with his identity and status as the number one player in the world.
Even FIFA President Infantino said in a subsequent interview with the media that Yang Yang is a pioneer in the reform of European football.
"I'm very much looking forward to seeing him lead Ajax to great results, even though it will be very difficult!"
Yes, Ajax was assigned to the Super Death Group, the same group as the top powerhouse Bayern Munich, the European powerhouses Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan, as the weakest of the four teams Although Ajax reversed Bayern Munich, the hope of advancing is still very slim.
This is just like the wish Yang Yang made in his award speech. It is very difficult, but he will forge ahead!

After returning to the Netherlands, Ajax soon ushered in the first round of the Dutch Cup.
The team challenged the amateur team Weaver away.
Ajax played with an all-substitute lineup, and Yang Yang also specially asked Mazraoui to be the team's right back. He continued to investigate this player, and at the same time tried to help him transform, hoping that he can adapt to the role of right back.
The team finally beat Weaver 7-0 in the away game. Mullen scored twice, Boadu, Stens, Odegaard and others all scored goals. This is also the biggest game for Ajax this season. victory.
This group of young players showed amazing fighting spirit in the game, which made people see a very gratifying mental outlook.
...
Three days later, in the seventh round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Fortuna Sittard away.
Only four minutes after the game started, Ndombele used a late shot to knock on the home team's goal for Ajax and scored his first Eredivisie goal of the season. .
Afterwards, Ajax attacked like a wave, while Fortuna Sittard retreated across the board, and even formed a three-back midfielder formation.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a full hour. Ajax had the advantage and created many opportunities, but they were still a little bit short in grasping the opportunities.
In the 68th minute, Mullen dribbled the ball from the left and sent a wonderful pass. Jovic was dragged down in the penalty area by the opponent after throwing away the opponent's defender Hellins. The referee awarded a penalty kick.
Jovic himself took the knife, calmly took the penalty and made another victory for Ajax, 2-0.
Just one minute later, it was another through pass from Ndombele after dribbling the ball, and Mullen scored a goal.
After that, Sancho assisted Jovic to make another goal in the 79th minute, and the Serbian center scored twice.
Yang Yang also replaced Jovic early, because there will be a Champions League group match against Inter Milan in the middle of the week.
After that, Van der Beek and Sancho scored successively, and the assist for Sancho's goal came from Ndombele.
In the end, Ajax defeated Fortuna Sittard 6-0 away, winning seven consecutive victories.
Seven games and seven victories, Ajax topped the Eredivisie table with 21 points, three points ahead of second-ranked Eindhoven.
Although Van Bommel's team defeated Breda 2-0 away in this round, they still need to work harder to reverse Ajax, and they also need to hope that Ajax will make mistakes on their own initiative.
However, many Dutch media have analyzed that with Ajax's stable performance since the beginning of the season and the strength of the players after Yang Yang's substantial rotation, it is very difficult for Eindhoven to reverse.
"Yang Yang has trained a strong and stable Ajax team that has not been seen in the past ten years!"
The head coach of Fortuna Sittard also said in an interview with the media after the game, "Ajax is suffocatingly strong!"
And Yang Yang did not play in the Eredivisie League this round. Many people have speculated whether he is saving his strength to prepare for the second round of the Champions League group match against Inter Milan?
You know, Yang Yang's tactics are very important for the reversal of Bayern Munich in the first round of the group stage, but his subsequent substitution is the key, so many analysts think whether the second round of the group stage will continue the situation of the first round of the group stage ?
Yang Yang used tactics to entangle Inter Milan first, and then waited until the opponent was almost exhausted, and then came off the bench to make a move, playing the effect of a surprise soldier?
And with Yang Yang's comprehensiveness, he can play any position in the midfield, which will be a very troublesome variable for Inter Milan.
