Chapter 1577 The Brave Without Fear
The next morning, a large number of Ajax fans gathered outside De Tokmoster's gate.
Every time a player drives into the club, the fans erupt in cheers, screaming the player's name at the same time.
This kind of scene has almost never been seen in the past few years, but it has repeatedly appeared this season, basically after some major games.
Obviously, the enthusiastic return of Ajax fans is not only reflected in the overcrowded attendance of the Cruyff Stadium every game, but also in the support and love of the fans for the players on weekdays.
Ajax just signed a car sponsor contract at the end of December last year. The sponsor is Audi from Germany. This is also the car sponsor of many wealthy teams, including Real Madrid and Barcelona. Unexpectedly, they will sponsor Ajax, which indirectly proves the potential value of Ajax.
In addition to a sponsorship, Audi also provides a free Audi for all Ajax first-team players over the age of 18, and from now on, Ajax's De Tokmoster, and All official public vehicles of the club will be provided by Audi, and no other brand cars are allowed to enter.
Only Yang Yang was excluded from this sponsorship contract because his car sponsor is Porsche.
In the past few years, Audi has tried every means to snatch Yang Yang from Porsche, but it has never been successful.
The Ajax fans squatted outside the training gate of De Tokmoster. When they saw the players driving in the Audi cars, they would shout and scream frantically. When they saw a few players who entered on foot, they would run at a fast pace. Ask for an autographed photo in the past.
Boadu, Haaland and Durst are the only three first-team players who don't have an Audi, but they all have a reason. Among them, Boadu is because he just turned eighteen in January. If you haven't got your driver's license yet, naturally you don't need a car.
The teenager Durst was recruited into the first team by Yang Yang during the winter break this year and followed the team for training. He performed well in the Ajax second team, but currently there are Ashraf, Mazrawi and Dunfer in the first team. Reese and other players are competing, and it is still difficult for Durst to get a chance for the time being, so he just follows the first team to train.
As for Haaland, after just coming to Ajax, he has scored goals in two consecutive games, which can be described as the new darling of the fans. car.
None of these three players participated in the game at Old Trafford, but this did not hinder the fans' love and admiration for them. They were surrounded by the gate, so anxious that they kept shouting for training. Being late or something, this barely broke through the encircling circle of fans, and ran into the training base like a frightened bird.
The gatekeepers of De Tokmost watched this scene happen, but did not stop it at all. Instead, they all laughed from ear to ear, because in De Tokmost, it has not happened for many, many years. Such a thing.
After Yang Yang came this season, De Tokmoster is alive again!
...
When Harland, Boadu and Durst ran to the training ground of the first team, they could see from a distance that the players of the first team were already in the training ground, and under the leadership of the fitness coach Pintus, they were carrying out training sessions. Warm up training.
Seeing the distressed appearance of the three people, everyone laughed.
No way, they were almost stopped when they drove by just now, let alone the three of them were walking?
However, for Ajax, this is something to be happy about, and even something to be proud of.
The three teenagers quickly changed their clothes in the locker room and returned to the training area.
After returning to the team, everyone was conducting warm-up training in an orderly manner under the leadership of Pintus.
French bald-headed Qiang not only trained his own tendons, but he would do all the warm-up and training moves with the players. If he saw that the players' movements were not standard, he would stop and guide them himself.
In addition, in the past six months at Ajax, he also recruited three assistants, all of whom are Ajax coaches who specialize in physical training.
For Pintus, Ajax players are convinced.
Although his training was very intensive and demanding, after more than half a year of getting along, they all clearly felt the benefits of Pintus' training and naturally obeyed it unconditionally.
The next morning of each game, Ajax will conduct recovery training, because recovery is also an extremely important part of Pintus' plan, so even if there is one game a week, Ajax will give the players Holidays, but they all start in the afternoon.
Now it's a double match a week and there is no holiday, but the restorative training is still the same.
The same kind of training is in charge of Pintus and Winston Bogarde. Even Yang Yang has to participate in the training, and Harvey Alonso can only watch from the sidelines or prepare in the office. Materials for the tactical review meeting.
A summary is made after each game, which is also a major feature of Yang Yang's coaching of Ajax.
The time is generally arranged after the lunch break and before the afternoon training session.

Yang Yang walked into the conference room empty-handed as usual.
When he walked to the main podium, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, inserted it into the computer on the podium, and immediately sent the data to the big screen, but unlike before, today only the One word, victory!
"Beat Manchester United away, from the way back last night to this morning and noon, I believe everyone should have gradually calmed down. I wonder if everyone has seriously thought about this issue?"
After Yang Yang finished speaking, he reached out with his right hand and pointed to the huge word behind him, "Why were we able to beat Manchester United away?"
The Ajax players in the conference room were all lost in thought following Yang Yang's words. They are all young people in their twenties with very active thoughts, and they don't want to think too much about it on weekdays. kind of complicated thing.
But Yang Yang just felt that it is essential to unify the thinking of the team, because only in this way can all the players of the first team be twisted into one rope, and then united on the court to fight against powerful enemies.
"There are two things we do better than Manchester United in my opinion."
"First," Yang Yang pointed out his thumb, "We are more united than them. From the beginning of the season to now, whether it is facing Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, or Manchester United last night, we are very united. Whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage on the scene, we all advance and retreat together.”
"We've always said football is a team sport and I've always said you're a fantastic group of players with incredible potential and if we stick together as one, there's nothing we can't beat enemy."
The players in the locker room have been working together for more than half a year, and many of them have already stayed together in the youth training camp. Now that they hear Yang Yang calling for them to unite again, they will not resist at all, but have a deep agreement feel.
Even players who have joined this season, such as Militao and Ashraf, or even players who have just joined like Haaland, with the team's excellent record, they will not deny that unity is important to this Ajak team. The importance of
With the strength of the team, if they are not united, they are fish and meat at the mercy of others.
"The second point, I think it's your courage!" Yang Yang pointed his second finger at the players.
"Since this season, everyone in our team has been under a lot of pressure. We have not been able to advance to the Champions League group stage for many years. In the past few years, the team has been turbulent, the head coach has changed frequently, and the player turnover is very high. This has led to the team's record. Not ideal and the pressure has been on the team from the start of the season."
"But in this case, you are not cowardly, but go forward bravely, from Standard Liege to Dynamo Kiev, from Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur to today's Manchester United, we are the 30th champion of the Champions League. Among the two teams in the group stage, the average age is the youngest, and now it is also the youngest in the knockout stage.”
"Before the game, the whole world questioned us. From the group of death in the group stage to facing Manchester United in the knockout round, no one thought we could win, but in the end, we were the ones who came out of the group of death, and we were still the top of the group. We beat Manchester United 4-0 at Old Trafford."
This time, Yang Yang directly pointed out four fingers, which shocked the players on the scene, and they couldn't help raising their heads and chests out.
"Unity and courage are the most important weapons for us to get to where we are today. They are like our two legs, and they are indispensable."
In the past six months or so, especially from the Champions League group stage to the knockout stage, Yang Yang has conquered all the players in Ajax with his outstanding results. Every one of them admires Yang Yang now, and they are very impressed with what he said. What he said was naturally believed.
Even Harland, who had just joined, agreed with it very much, and kept nodding vigorously, wishing he could clap his hands and applaud.
This made Harvey Alonso see it, and secretly praised him in his heart, he is another kid who grew up watching Yang Yang play football!
"Believe me, everyone, beating Manchester United away is just the beginning, we shouldn't and can't be satisfied with it, because we can do better, we have stronger opponents to challenge, we can't win this game stop before."
"I hope you can maintain your courage and continue to maintain unity. Everyone will work together as one rope. Then I believe that no matter what kind of opponent we encounter next, we will be brave and fearless!"
"I believe that God is fair. He will see our courage and determination, as well as our hard work and hard work!"
"I look forward to celebrating victories and titles with you after the season is over!"
As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause in the meeting room, and even many players stood up excitedly.
In the team locker room, Yang Yang has a high prestige, and the players obey him.
But today, Yang Yang still wants to remind the players, don't be proud, don't be complacent!
Victory over Manchester United is just the beginning!
