Chapter 251 The Fourth Star Skill

Entering January, Ajax reunited, and the team went south again to escape the cold.

The training location for the winter break is still arranged in the small town of Lagos, Portugal, and the hotel is still the same hotel as last year.

The only difference is that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who sat with him last year, was gone, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the first team, and Fermaelen, who played as the main force, became another member of the Iron Triangle.

However, Yang Yang basically did not play cards and gave up his position to Heitinga or Sneijder.

He is also facing the pressure of further studies this year. Although his parents didn't say anything, Yang Yang could guess in his heart that they still hoped that he could continue his studies. In addition, Yang Yang himself had the idea of ​​continuing his studies, so he also took the opportunity to use A hard work.

Anyway, during the training camp, everyone was in the same room, and he couldn't sleep directly, so he might as well use it to study his homework.

In addition to studying, Yang Yang also chats with friends in China through the Internet.

The one who chats the most is Su Xiaomei, and she is also very stressed now.

Although Su Wenhong and his wife have promised her to take the Chinese drama exam, it is not easy to get admitted to the Chinese drama exam, and it is not easy to get in just by being beautiful, but more is needed, so she has been working very hard recently. , is still rehearsing a play.

On the one hand, Wei Zheng is helping Yang Yang's father, Yang Yongqiang, with the company's affairs, and on the other hand, he has fulfilled what he said before. Before the Chinese New Year, he signed two blockbuster endorsement contracts for Yang Yang, each of which was in the eight figures. 's worth.

Every year, Yang Yang can earn at least 50 million from domestic business endorsements alone. Coupled with Nike's sponsorship contract and Yang Yang's salary in Ajax, his annual income is quite good.

Wei Zheng also revealed that there are still many domestic companies and brands interested in seeking cooperation with Yang Yang, but considering Yang Yang's indiscriminate instructions, he strictly checks and is still negotiating.

Zheng Zhi, a teammate of the national team, made a smooth transfer to Mainz in the Bundesliga when the transfer market opened during the winter break in January.

The specific transfer fee has not been disclosed, but Zheng Zhi persuaded domestic clubs to release them, and he also transferred some interests.

The young head coach of Mainz, Klopp, is very satisfied with Zheng Zhi's joining, and believes that he can greatly enhance the competitiveness of Mainz. Competitive considerations.

In fact, it is not surprising if you think about it carefully.

Mainz is just a newly promoted horse, how can it be capable of developing the Chinese market?

Zhao Junzhe also completed the transfer before the winter break and went to the Celtics in the Su Chao.

This Suzhou Super League team was originally considered between two players, one is the Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura, who plays for Regina, and the other is Zhao Junzhe, who plays for China.

After several twists and turns, coupled with Regina's unwillingness to let Shunsuke Nakamura go during the winter break, the Celtics finally chose Zhao Junzhe, who was younger and cheaper.

As a result, the entire central axis of the Chinese national team is controlled by the international players from overseas, Yang Yang in the frontcourt, Shao Jiayi and Zhao Junzhe in the midfield, and Zheng Zhi in the backcourt, which also made domestic fans even more full of expectations.

Everyone believes that this national team is indeed capable of rushing out of Asia and entering the World Cup again.

And the one who gave them the strongest confidence was Yang Yang.

During the training camp at Lagos, Ajax focused on tactical drills.

Among them, in addition to the four-three-three formation that the team is good at, Ronald Koeman also trained another set of play.

The goalkeeper position is basically dominated by young player Stekelenburg, with veteran Hans Funk as an important substitute.

On the back line, Maxwell on the left occupies the main force. There is no suspense. Felipe Luis is still young and it is still difficult to challenge Maxwell's position. Fermaelen and Heitinga are the central defenders.

Maicon on the right rebounded by virtue of his state in the second half of the first half, especially the tacit cooperation with Yang Yang on the offensive end, and gradually returned to the main position, especially after returning to the team after the Christmas holiday, the Brazilian. The right back also offered to practice strength and confrontation with Yang Yang, which shows his determination.

The difference between the two lineups is in the midfield.

One of the sets is mainly to control the attack, with Garasek or De Jong as the drag, Pinar and Sneijder in the middle, and Wesley Sunk, Charlesteas and Yang Yang are the tridents in the frontcourt.

This is also the main lineup of the team in the first half of the season. Basically, as long as no personnel are absent, this is the style of play.

But another set of play is also four-three-three, but the position has changed.

Galasek and De Jong served as the double midfielder, Sneijder was in the middle, and he provoked the organization and passing of the midfield.

On the left side of the frontcourt is Pinar, Charlie Steas is in the middle, and Yang Yang is still playing on the right side.

From this set of play alone, the latter lineup is more inclined to defensive counterattacks.

Ronald Koeman mentioned in his introduction that the team performed poorly in the first half of the Champions League, especially on the defensive end, which made the coaching staff feel the need to strengthen the team’s midfield defense.

Having said that, the players in the team are still discussing the intentions of the coaching staff.

Everyone is aware of the coaches' dissatisfaction with Wesley Sunk, especially in scoring efficiency.

As the scorer with the most tactical support, Wesley Sonk's scoring efficiency is far less than that of Yang Yang, which is absolutely unreasonable, and the Belgian striker seems to be increasingly lacking confidence.

Whether it is his performance on the field or his training off the field, Wesley Songk gradually gives people a feeling of losing confidence. He has lost the keen sense of scoring goals on the field and is unable to create a threat.

The latter set of tactics is obviously to tilt the offensive score to the right, focusing on supporting Yang Yang.

Now no one doubts Yang Yang's strength or his status in the team. Everyone believes that he is the most important player in Ajax, and it is logical for the coaching staff to arrange this.

The only thing that is more worrying is whether Yang Yang will be able to provoke this burden?

Van der Vaart and Wesley Songk and others were all overwhelmed by the heavy pressure. Will Yang Yang be the next one?

After all, he was much younger than the two of them.

Yang Yang didn't care too much about speculation from inside and outside the team.

During the training camp in Portugal, he always worked hard, insisting on training in the morning and evening every day, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Whether it was Van Gaal's previous remarks or Ronald Koeman's arrangement, it was like an incentive for him to work harder and improve himself more diligently.

Only by making himself stronger can he have enough strength to take on this burden.

At the same time, Ajax's technical team is also actively looking for suitable candidates in the transfer market, mainly to further strengthen the team's midfield.

"Galasek is thirty-two years old, and although he has performed well this season, his age is still there."

In Yang Yang's room, Best Know Maxwell was sharing the news he had inquired with Yang Yang and others.

"Maduro and Lindgren have both made substitute appearances in the first team this season. Maduro's performance is still good, but it is not reassuring enough. The club intends to introduce another young midfielder with good strength. ."

"Is there a specific goal?" De Jong asked with concern.

Maxwell nodded, "One of them is Demi Dezeu, the midfielder of the Dutch Forward Eagles."

"De Zewu?" Everyone shook their heads, obviously not understanding him.

Yang Yang frowned and thought for a while, "I seem to have heard of him somewhere, and he is doing well, both offensive and defensive."

Soon, Yang Yang remembered. It seems that he mentioned this player when he was having dinner at Van Gaal's house. I heard that Alkmaar also liked him. The price is not expensive. .

But these Yang Yang will certainly not divulge the Van Gaal thing.

"In addition to Dezeu, the club has also set its sights on another player, Timoschuk of Shakhtar Donetsk, Ukraine, a 25-year-old defensive midfielder who is in the prime of his competitive career. Age, strength is very strong, but the price should not be cheap, it is said that the team also specially arranged for scouts to follow him in Ukraine."

Shakhtar Donetsk is also a strong team in Ukraine, but their performance has declined a bit in recent years, and they have not been able to participate in the Champions League. In terms of momentum and prestige, they are definitely not as loud as the old giants Ajax, but Ukrainian teams are very rich.

To dig such a player, Ajax must show sincerity, but what the Eredivisie team lacks most now is money.

"Another option is to dig internally. Maduro has been included in the list of key cultivation in the second half of the season, and Belgian teenager Jan Vertonghen may also be promoted to the first team."

Maduro is a highly acclaimed rookie in the Ajax youth academy and is hailed by many as Rijkaard II, but this is just a reputation. His performance in the first team is still not stable enough, and there is no way to shake it for the time being The location of de Jong and Galasec.

As for the Belgian player Vertonghen, he is a versatile player in the backcourt and can play in multiple positions. After joining Ajax in 2003, he has been in the youth academy, but he played in the youth echelon before, until Yang Yang and Vermaelen were defeated. After being transferred to the first team, he was selected into the second team by Van Basten.

Yang Yang is not familiar with Vertonghen, but this is also normal.

There are countless rookies from all over the world in the Ajax youth academy, how could he know all of them?

But through Ajax's series of operations, as well as the previous reminders from Van Basten and Van Gaal, Yang Yang clearly realized that his chance had indeed come.

What he needs to do most now is to show his best performance to convince all the coaching staff and technical teams, including Ronald Koeman, to believe that he is capable of taking on the club's offensive responsibilities.

That night, after the teammates went back to their rooms to rest, Yang Yang also entered the super training ground.

When he saw Lao Bing, his first words were...

"I think it's necessary for me to start learning the fourth star skill."

"Why?" Lao Bing asked lightly.

"I want to improve my shooting ability," Yang Yang said firmly.
