Chapter 224 Endure Hardship
Due to the urgency of time, the national team could only help Yang Yang to buy a flight to Amsterdam on the morning of the 12th.
After arriving in the Netherlands, he will rest for two hours before flying from Amsterdam to Kuwait.
According to the itinerary, even if the plane is not delayed, it will take at least the early morning of the 13th to arrive in Kuwait.
The match between China and Kuwait was held on the evening of the 13th.
It can be said that this is really a long and arduous journey to the west.
Team leader Zhu has always been good to Yang Yang, and he kept apologizing on the phone. I hope he can understand the current difficulties of the national team and the Football Association, and don't hold grudges. At the same time, I hope he can seize the time to rest on the plane.
Yang Yang also said that he has no problem.
On the contrary, the domestic media and many netizens were very dissatisfied with the urgent recruitment of Yang Yang by the Football Association.
According to media reports, it is said that Alihan did not hesitate to resign, and finally made the Football Association make up his mind to recruit Yang Yang into the team.
There is nothing new under the sun. The reason why the Football Association was reluctant to recruit Yang Yang was quickly exposed by the media. Everyone once again attacked the Football Association, causing the Football Association, whose trust had fallen to the bottom, to be hit again.
After a 20-hour trek, arriving in the morning, and playing in the evening, how much state can you play?
This also worries everyone.
In the words of Maopu netizens, there is absolutely no problem with Yang Yang's strength. The problem is those pig teammates who make him unable to exert his strength.

Yang Yang didn't know the domestic fans' support for him. As soon as he boarded the plane, he put on a blindfold and entered the super training ground.
Year after year, Yang Yang's training program at the super training ground hasn't changed much. He still has basic training and star skills, but the day before the game, he will simulate the opponent for the next game to practice.
The purpose of this is to be able to better familiarize yourself with the opponent and allow yourself to enter the game faster.
Facts have proved that this kind of training has really helped him a lot.
However, this time, due to the lack of information collected by the national team on Kuwaiti players, Yang Yang was unable to obtain more detailed information. There were only some video highlights of the game. In addition, the opponents were not too strong, so Yang Yang did not arrange for too long. practice.
In addition to basic training and practicing star skills, Yang Yang also mentioned another problem he encountered recently.
That is the increase in physical strength.
There is no way to directly improve physical strength training in the super training ground. It can only rely on Yang Yang to practice hard in real life. Ajax does have professional fitness coaches and fitness coaches, but because of his young age, Yang Yang has never done it before. Do more training in this area.
But now he has felt the bottleneck.
"The physical quality of Asian players is generally much worse than that of European players, and I already felt this problem when I was in the Asian Cup. Later, when I returned to Ajax, I also discussed it with the coaching staff, but I didn't have time to get it. Good solution."
Yang Yang said it was quite distressed.
Since entering the first team last season, he has hardly had any rest time.
Needless to say, there was a continuous multi-line battle in the second half. Immediately after the Champions League final, I flew to Toulon, and after the Toulon Cup, I returned to China and maintained my state to prepare for the Asian Cup.
After the Asian Cup was finally over, Yang Yang had to fly back to Amsterdam, and the new season started again.
Then came the European Super Cup, the Asian Youth Championship and now the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup.
Looking back and thinking about it, Yang Yang found that he had really played a lot of games in the past year.
If it weren't for the deep sleep function of the super training ground, which allowed his body to recover faster, he wouldn't be able to bear it at all.
Of course, compared to European competitions, the Toulon Cup, Asian Cup and Asian Youth Championship are not high-intensity competitions.
But Yang Yang also felt his own deficiencies in physical and strength confrontation.
"If my body and strength can go up, I'm sure I'll be better and better than I am now."
Yang Yang really had personal experience.
For example, sometimes, he dribbled the ball alone, made breakthroughs with the ball in a row, and after swaying out of the space, he found that he had no energy to shoot.
Sometimes, when the opponent's close-up and physical confrontation, the technical movements are out of shape.
There were also several times when he felt that his shot was so weak that he couldn't score when he had a good chance.
The reply from the Ajax coaching staff is normal, because he is only seventeen years old, and he is also properly strengthening his physical strength, but has never come up with a better targeted plan.
After all, the coaching staff is one person for the whole team. What Yang Yang really considers is, is it necessary to hire a personal coach?
"According to scientific research, the years from the age of 18 to 23 are very critical to the physical shaping of professional players, and even affect the subsequent long-term development and injury recovery, but the premise is to be able to accurately target your body. Technical characteristics and playing style, which I think Ajax will be more professional."
Old Bing still used a cold tone to help Yang Yang analyze.
Ajax does have a wealth of experience in training players, not just technology, but also physical strength, and even muscle distribution.
In fact, according to the technical characteristics and playing habits of players, purposeful training of certain muscles can indeed reduce injuries, which is already a consensus.
For a professional player, the body is the core foundation.
Yang Yang understood what Lao Bing meant. As a professional player, instead of blindly going outside to find a personal trainer, he might as well go directly to the coach of the Ajax team, or let the club arrange a set of tailored physical strengthening training for him.
"Physical strength is a long-term training, even throughout your entire career, and you have to be prepared for hardships. The more you want to tap your potential, the more hardships you have to endure." Ice reminded.
Yang Yang understands that he has seen many players in Ajax who are very resistant to strength training, but they just can't bear the hardship.
It's like losing weight. All fat people know the importance of losing weight, but there are only a handful of people who can really grit their teeth and persevere. This requires strong willpower and self-control.
Ordinary weight loss is already the case, and professional players need stronger willpower and self-control to strengthen their bodies.
And it must be persistent for a long time, a little slack, and immediately fall short.
Yang Yang thought about it for a while, then nodded resolutely: "I believe, I can endure this hardship!"
He has survived even the most difficult stage of basic training, what else can he suffer?
Of course, physical strength training is not at all easier than basic training, and it can even be said to be more difficult.

During the plane's stay at Amsterdam International Airport, Yang Yang turned on his mobile phone and received several text messages from Alihan and Team Leader Zhu, all asking if he could arrive in Kuwait on time.
According to convention, the team should report the 18-man roster one day in advance. The starting lineup in the game can only be selected from the 18-man roster and cannot be changed, and it is obviously time for Kuwait to report the roster.
Yang Yang specially called Team Leader Zhu and told him that he had arrived in Amsterdam, but due to the delay of the plane, it was estimated that he would arrive in Kuwait later than expected.
"You help me tell the manager that I'm ready and I can play whenever I can."
Although the domestic football association and the league are very chaotic, this has nothing to do with Yang Yang. He puts on the national team's jersey, so he must be responsible for this jersey and the red flag on his chest.
As long as the team needs it, he is willing to do his best.
Team leader Zhu was also very moved by this and said that he would definitely convey it. At the same time, he also hoped that Yang Yang would not have too much pressure. After all, this time it was indeed the problem of the national team and the Football Association, which caused Yang Yang to travel long distances and rush to fight.
During his stay in Amsterdam, Yang Yang found several Dutch newspapers to understand the situation while he was eating.
Ajax is not doing well recently, and Yang Yang has learned some things from the Internet, but the current situation seems to be beyond Yang Yang's expectations. He did not expect the team to lose 4-0 to Bayern Munich on the road.
This loss was too bad, it could even be said to be a big rout.
Yang Yang immediately called Vermaelen. The latter has not yet entered the Belgian national team, so he has no competition assignment. As soon as he received Yang Yang's call, he immediately drove from Odekerke to the airport to have an interview with Yang Yang.
"The current situation of the team is indeed very miserable. Many media have begun to call for Ronald Koeman to be dismissed. Maicon has also been bombarded by the outside world. The whole person is about to collapse. , both of us are under a lot of pressure.”
From the expression on Fermaelen's face, Yang Yang could feel the pressure and inner self-blame he felt at this moment.
No player likes to lose, and the same goes for Fermaelen. Everyone feels guilty and remorseful for mistakes that lead to a loss or a draw.
Of course, the cruelty of the professional league is that only the victors have justice.
The media and fans never ignore and pity the losers.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, I'm going to play a game in the Middle East and I'll be back soon." Yang Yang patted his roommate on the shoulder and comforted.
"We're all waiting for you to come back. Your absence has been like a nightmare." Fermaelen shook his head.
They all knew that Yang Yang was very important before, but they never knew that he was so important.
Without Yang Yang, the team's right-hand side couldn't open the situation at all. Demuer and others performed well in the youth team, but when they got to the first team, they couldn't play at all, and it was difficult to create a threat in the game.
Wesley Songk, who performed well last season, is also sluggish this season, and the newly joined Charlie Steas is a player with great tactical effect but not very good scoring ability, which makes Ajax's entire It is difficult to make a threat in the frontcourt offense.
The offense in the frontcourt is unfavorable, and the defense in the backcourt is weak, and the team is so precarious.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon!" Yang Yang reassured his teammates.
