Chapter 234 Land Duck

Including the third-round draw with Utrecht in the Eredivisie and the 1-2 loss to Valencia in the European Super Cup, Ajax has not won for nearly two months.

The 1-0 win over Roda JC, although it was a narrow victory, still made the fans in the audience and the club very happy.

But everyone knows that the real test is the Champions League in midweek.

Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv is not a strong team, but if they can't overcome this hurdle, then Ajax will really be passive in the group ranking, and even a careless one may end at the bottom of the group.

An absolute shame for the defending champion.

From head coach Ronald Koeman to the players, no one can really put their hearts down.

After Yang Yang finished the game, he went home and went straight to sleep.

After replaying the game against Roda JC with Laobing in the super training ground, they conducted a series of basic training and three star skills training. Soon, it was a new day.

I don't know since when, he has become accustomed to this compact and fulfilling life.

Due to the full game last night, neither Fairmaelen nor Maxwell will participate in the morning practice today.

Yang Yang went out alone, but saw two people standing on the opposite road.

It was Maicon and Felipe Luis.

"Good morning, Yang."

"Good morning."

Yang Yang saw the two running over quickly, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

Due to Maxwell's relationship, the two of them are not strangers to Yang Yang, but they are new to each other, and they are full of calculations. Yang Yang has been with them for less than a month, and they are not familiar with each other.

When the two came to Yang Yang, they were somewhat restrained, especially Felipe Luis.

"Is something wrong?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

Maicon and Felipe Luis looked at each other, and finally Maicon spoke.

"We want to ask, can we let them practice with you in the future?"

"Huh?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.

"What we mean is that we will accompany you to practice with you in the morning exercises in the morning and in the afternoon, okay?"

"Of course." How could Yang Yang refuse? He has been looking for sparring partners, otherwise he wouldn't have to bet with Niklas Bendtner. "But can you please tell me what's going on?"

The two looked at each other again, and it was Maicon's explanation.

"My performance in the team was terrible, but neither of us wanted to be sent back to Brazil, we wanted to stay at Ajax."

Yang Yang immediately understood that in the final analysis, the professional league was too cruel.

Brazil's supply of players can be said to be endless. European teams have a huge attraction to players in Brazil's domestic leagues. Almost everyone regards landing in the Europa League as an important step to change their life and family destiny.

But landing in the Europa League is only the first step, a firm foothold is the key.

Every year, countless Brazilian players are sent back to the Brazilian league because of their poor performance in the Europa League. The most famous one is Porto's talented striker Alberto. Although he performed well in the Champions League final, he can play in the new season. If they are not the main force, they will still have to be sent back to Brazil.

Alberto has at least performed well in the Champions League. Maicon and Felipe Luiz have yet to prove themselves. If they fail to convince Ajax, they can only be sent home again.

As for when and what month in the future will they be able to land in the Europa League again, who knows?

Seeing them, Yang Yang suddenly remembered himself when he played for Almere. How similar is the situation?

"Of course, no problem, I welcome you at any time." Yang Yang laughed.

Seeing that Yang Yang did not refuse, Maicon and Felipe Luis were both happy and couldn't help thanking them.

Later, Niklas Bendtner also kept his appointment and came to Yang Yang's door, and found that he had two more competitors, and he couldn't help but be vigilant, especially Maicon.

The right-back has good speed and technique, but the defense is problematic.

"I used to play in midfield, but I was transformed into a right-back," Maicon explained.

Yang Yang suddenly realized that he was transformed into a defender. Maicon has never been able to play the main force in Cruzeiro, but Van Gaal and the technical team can see him, obviously because his speed and skills are indeed quite good among defenders. .

Maicon is twenty-three years old, and the defense can still dig further.

"The problem for both of us now is defense. We both think that the training you added to stop the ball after training should be very helpful for us to strengthen defense, so we will ask you for help." Felipe Luis said embarrassedly.

Yang Yang didn't care and said with a smile: "If you come, then Maxwell will be freed."

After a pause, Yang Yang took a closer look at Maicon and Felipe Luiz's physiques, which were similar to his own, slightly thin.

"I think you'd better talk to Kluitenberg and strengthen your physical training. After all, defenders are more important than attacking players in this regard." Yang Yang reminded.

Maicon is 23 years old and Felipe Luis is 19 years old. Both of them are relatively thin, which is indeed a disadvantage for defenders, especially in the European League. The body is based on the capital of the professional league. .

Of course, physical strength training is very hard, and it is up to them to eat or not.

The four of them set off from Oderkerk and ran all the way around Oderkerk Lake, and they all hit the ball. This is a unique scenery in the town, but it is a pity that the time was earlier, and the residents of the town did not It will get up so fast, and naturally no one will see it.

As usual, after three laps, Yang Yang went to the breakfast shop on the corner to buy some breakfast.

The shop owner cheerfully displayed his new clippings. It is said that the major Dutch media reported last night's game this morning, and they were full of praise for Yang Yang's performance, thinking he was Aja A key figure in the victory of the Cox.

"As soon as you come back, the team will win. Who will dare to say that you are not the core player of the team in the future?" The shop owner said proudly. Now he is showing off to his relatives and friends every day, and Yang Yang is there every morning. Shop for breakfast.

"Eight days, three races, 20,000 kilometers, oh my god, it's unbelievable."

After repeated admiration, the shop owner looked at Yang Yang with concern, "But, Yang, you just finished the game last night, and you ran out to practice again this morning, can you bear it?"

"Don't worry, I have a sense of my body." Yang Yang smiled.

Watching Yang Yang pick up the breakfast and turn to leave, the shop owner squinted and smiled.

After watching football for so many years, such diligent players have become fewer and fewer.

The appointment with Winston Bogard is nine o'clock.

But in fact, Yang Yang arrived at the gym on time at 8:30.

At this time, there was no one in the gym, so he did some simple stretching exercises by himself to warm up.

After waiting for ten minutes, Winston Bogard came to work.

"I didn't expect you to come earlier than me." When he saw Yang Yang, he was a little surprised.

The team's training time in the morning is ten o'clock. He originally asked Yang Yang to come an hour earlier, and was already worried that he would be late, but he didn't expect Yang Yang to come earlier than he thought. .

But having a heart is not enough, you have to have determination and perseverance.

How hard physical strength training is, people who haven't practiced it can't understand it, and it's even more difficult to persevere.

"I have been studying your physical data for the past two days. At the same time, I have also been studying with the coaching staff. We all believe that strengthening your physical strength must be targeted, not clumsy, and maintain flexibility and speed."

Yang Yang nodded, this was also his idea.

"Your current height is about 1.8 meters, and your weight should preferably be controlled at about 75 kilograms."

Since Yang Yang joined Ajax, his body has indeed grown a bit. Now he is a little over 1.8 meters tall. He is not too short, but he is not tall either, but his body is too thin and looks very thin.

"Your training in the gym will be dominated by bench presses, squats, deadlifts and instant upper arms. Both squats and instant upper arms can effectively train your speed and allow you to sprint more in competitions. quick."

Yang Yang continued to nod.

In front of Bogard, he only has to keep nodding, because he really knows nothing about strength training.

"Do you know why the world's powerlifting competition is only better than the squat, bench press and deadlift?" Bogard asked suddenly.

Yang Yang shook his head, he really didn't know anything about this.

"The reason is very simple. These three movements are the best to fully reflect the physical strength. The squat represents the strength of the knee extension, and the deadlift represents the strength of the hip extension. These are also the two most powerful parts of the body, while the bench press represents the strength of the knee extension. It can reflect the strength level of your entire upper body, and these three items can fully reflect how strong your whole body is.”

Hearing this, Yang Yang somewhat understood.

These three major items train three different areas of the human body respectively. Anyone who wants to exert his physical strength needs one of the three areas, which is why these three major items are so valued.

If you can practice these three items well, I believe that not only the physical strength will be improved, but also the speed and shooting intensity will be greatly improved, which is also very needed for Yang Yang.

"In addition to a few exercises in the gym, I also need you to cooperate with a set of back-and-forth running on the outdoor stairs. When the time is right, I will have people prepare sandbags for you to tie them for training, but there is another training must be done.”

"what?"

"swim."

"Ah?" Yang Yang frowned.

"Swimming is a very good sport, which can improve the flexibility of the human body and strengthen the muscles, so I ask you to go to the swimming pool for training every day."

Winston Bogard tailored a whole set of training plans for Yang Yang. It was exhaustive and detailed. Every item was well-arranged and coherent. training, including swimming.

De Tokmost has a swimming pool for players to train, but...

"I can't swim yet." Yang Yang said awkwardly.

Although he was born in a seaside city, he has never learned swimming since he was a child, and he has never had the opportunity to learn since he came to the Netherlands, so...

He's a total landlubber.
