Chapter 351 Captain China [The Third Update, Ask for a Monthly Subscription]

Since the match time was scheduled for 6:30 in the evening, Yang Yang still performed extra training on the morning of the match day.

It was a privilege granted to him by the coaching staff to let him leave the hotel and do his own morning exercises.

Everyone has become accustomed to this.

Yang Yang hit the ball, set off from the hotel, went all the way west, and ran to Odekerke Lake.

After three laps along the lake, he ran back to the hotel and entered the hotel gym.

By this time, Winston Bogard was already waiting for him in the gym.

The strong and powerful Dutch man laughed as soon as he saw Yang Yang.

"Congratulations, Captain!"

Yang Yang was a little embarrassed, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not ready yet!"

"Get used to it, Captain." Winston Bogard shouted again, and he couldn't help laughing.

The meeting last night went well.

After Ronald Koeman announced that the players would vote for the captain, everyone was speculating about who Yang Yang and Sneijder would stand out and who would be the next captain of Ajax.

But at this moment, Sneijder suddenly stood up. When everyone thought he was going to recommend him bravely, he suddenly chose Yang Yang, saying that he recommended Yang Yang to be the team captain and would do his best to cooperate. him, support him.

Sneijder's decision surprised everyone. No one thought that he would choose to support Yang Yang.

With the biggest competitors declaring their defections, Yang Yang's election is no longer controversial.

Both Heitinga and De Jong made it clear that no one would accept the election, only Yang Yang.

Especially Haitinga, this is a thorn, and it is really not easy to subdue him.

Under the circumstance that the local faction has made a clear statement, players such as Maxwell, Fermaelen, Maicon and Yaya Toure have all recommended Yang Yang. Jax's new captain.

After returning to the hotel room, Sneijder told Yang Yang that he had never thought about fighting from the beginning.

Yang Yang also said that he also did not want to fight.

"But all of us think you're the best fit," Sneijder said earnestly.

In this way, the two got rid of their grievances, and Yang Yang was elected unanimously.

This is also the first non-European player in Ajax's history to be elected captain, a Chinese captain from Asia.

In retrospect, Yang Yang still finds it a little funny.

He never imagined that he would be able to become the captain of Ajax, but it just happened.

Early in the morning, when he told Su Ye, who was far away in Beijing, the news, the girl went crazy with joy. When she called over, she kept smiling and was happy for Yang Yang from the bottom of her heart.

"I really hope I can be by your side and laugh with you happily." Su Ye said affectionately.

It's not that Yang Yang thought about keeping her by his side. With his current ability, there is no problem in supporting her at all. He can even arrange for Su Ye to study in Europe, but he knows that he can't be so selfish.

He has his own dreams to pursue, and Su Ye has to pursue hers too.

After returning from the gym, Yang Yang began to go back to his room to take a shower and change his clothes. After going out, he went to have breakfast with his teammates.

Over the years, Ajax has continued to maintain strict discipline, including the same time meals on match day, the purpose is to keep players in the best physical condition during the game.

As the captain, it should have been Yang Yang's responsibility to organize meals for his teammates, but now he has entrusted Galasek with full authority.

The reason is simple, he is really a rookie in this area.

Although I have experienced a lot, participation and leadership are two different things.

When the teammates saw his appearance, they all wanted to laugh. Obviously, they all felt that Yang Yang was a bit strange to be the captain.

In fact, Yang Yang's popularity in the team is also very good, otherwise so many people would not support him as captain.

This also made many people joke with him. Some blackmailed him that he should invite guests when he took office, while others thought that he did not show the majesty of the captain and should make himself more fierce.

"Okay, okay, don't make fun of him, everyone." Garasek stopped with a smile.

Because of last night's vote, a potential conflict was eliminated, which is also the best choice for the team.

Besides, most people in the team feel that Yang Yang is the most suitable captain.

Ajax set off from the hotel after lunch and lunch break, the team was fully rested and recharged.

After more than an hour's drive, the team arrived at Rosendal and went directly to the Hestark Stadium.

Rosendal is just a small town near the southern border of the Netherlands. The population is not large, and the stadium capacity is not large. It can only accommodate 5,000 fans. Can fill the field.

When Ajax entered the stadium for pre-match training, it even sparked cheers from the fans.

This is the UEFA Cup!

Yang Yang is undoubtedly the most popular player in the Ajax team, and he has also become the most shouted by Rosendal fans.

Obviously, they have seen it very well. After all, the strength of the team is there. For them, enjoying the game is the most important thing.

When the team returned to the locker room and the players were ready to play, assistant coach Luther Carroll took out the captain's armband and came to Yang Yang under the watchful eyes of all the players.

"For the first time, let me wear it for you." Luther Carroll laughed.

Yang Yang nodded and raised his left arm.

This is a new type of captain's armband. In addition to the sticking function, it also has an elastic band effect. After wearing it, it is tightly tied to the arm and will not fall off no matter how you throw it.

It was the first time for Yang Yang to wear the captain's armband, and it felt a little strange. After all, there was something on his left arm.

But under the watchful eyes of his teammates, he gradually felt the weight of the captain's armband.

This is not only an honor for himself, but also a kind of trust that everyone on the team has in him.

"I promise, I will never live up to everyone's expectations!" Yang Yang said loudly.

The teammates in the locker room all nodded, and when they passed by Yang Yang one after another, they all took the initiative to shake hands and hug him.

It was his first game as captain and Ajax's second league game of the season.

The opponent Rosendal is not strong, but there are still tests.

…………

…………

Leonardo Wedemeyer, thirty-seven.

This season is his fourth season in the Eredivisie League, but he did not expect to encounter a thing that made him talk about it, that is, Ajax has arranged the youngest captain in history. .

Eighteen-year-old Yang Yang actually wears the captain's armband of Ajax, which is definitely a novelty.

In particular, when the players of the two teams walked out of the stadium one after another under his leadership, Yang Yang, as the captain, was at the forefront. This change quickly attracted the attention of the media and fans at the scene.

"Ajax seems to have changed a bit."

"We can see that after the suspension of Heitinga's red card, Vermaelen and Vlaar started together, which is not surprising, but in the order of appearances in this game, Yang Yang was at the forefront of the team. "

"Ajax's captain's armband is also worn on Yang Yang's body."

"Obviously, when Haitinga was suspended with a red card, Ajax arranged for Yang Yang to be the team's on-field captain."

"The 18-year-old will be the youngest captain in the Eredivisie this season, I don't know if he will be able to carry the burden, and we are all looking forward to Ajax's performance tonight. "

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yang Yang came to the referee on the sidelines.

Rosendahl's captain is their centre-back Arjan Ebinger. The 31-year-old centre-back was transferred from Nijmegen this summer and was not originally qualified to be captain. In order to avoid relegation, almost half of the main players were replaced, making Ebbinger the captain of the team.

The bald Dutch central defender was obviously a little surprised when he saw Yang Yang, but he still greeted Yang Yang with a smile.

The referee reiterated his request for the game, hoping it would be a smooth and fair game.

Then when guessing the edge, Yang Yang got the right to serve.

That's a strategy Ajax has set out early on.

Later, after exchanging flags with Ebinger, Yang Yang shook hands with the referee team one after another, and then returned to his own half.

After the whole process, Yang Yang always followed suit, and he was completely unfamiliar with it.

"Don't be under pressure, just like usual, just focus on the game and enjoy the game." Ronald Koeman reassured Yang Yang on the sidelines, for fear that Yang Yang would be under some psychological pressure.

Luther Carroll also persuaded him, and generally hoped that he could let go of his hands and feet.

Yang Yang understands this and will not be under any pressure. After all, defeating Rosendal is a sure thing. The difference is only how many goals can be scored and whether he can score goals.

But to say that there is no pressure, it is impossible.

After all, this is his first time as the team's captain, so there's always something to leave behind, right?

…………

…………

From the very beginning of the game, Ajax pushed the attack hard.

The team's game strategy is exactly the same as when they played in The Hague before, that is, regardless of the three-seven-two-one, just press on and start.

With the advantage of Charlie Steas' center center and the team's overall midfield pressure, Rosendahl was quickly overwhelmed.

In the twelfth minute of the game, after receiving a pass from Maicon on the right, Yang Yang suddenly threw off the defender, cut inwards all the way to the front of the penalty area, and crossed to Sneijder.

This time, the Ajax midfielder stepped in and pushed the ball directly with his right foot, sending the ball into Rosendahl's goal.

After scoring the goal, Sneijder was so excited that he hugged Yang Yang.

It's two consecutive league games where he has scored goals, and that's a great feeling.

And Yang Yang was very happy in his heart and accompanied him to celebrate. He was also very happy to see Sneijder score.

But at the same time, he is also eager to score goals.
