Chapter 363 Let Them Go Back and Forth! [The Second Update of Vomiting Blood, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]
When the Ajax bus arrived at the Shen Ji Chinese restaurant in Almere, the restaurant was already empty.
Yang Yang has contracted the entire Shenji Chinese restaurant, dedicated to entertaining Ajax players.
He even let his uncle Shen Ming spend a day carefully preparing various Chinese dishes that the players can eat, just to provide a sumptuous dinner for this group of Ajax stars.
For the Shenji Chinese restaurant in Almere, the players have more or less learned something from the media.
Everyone knows that this was opened by Yang Yang's uncle.
Before, Ibrahimovic and others often accompany Yang Yang to eat here. After returning, they also complimented in the locker room. Sneijder and others have come to taste it, and they all think the taste is good.
So, when Yang Yang proposed to invite everyone to dinner, everyone strongly agreed with Sneijder's proposal for Chinese food.
Only Maxwell wanted to continue to eat barbecue at his house, and was attacked by everyone.
Due to the confidentiality of the itinerary, there is no outsider to disturb. Even if a few guests who are coming to the restaurant occasionally meet, they will not go up to disturb them. They just take pictures from a distance and watch Ajax walk up and down into the Chinese restaurant. .
Shen Ming was undoubtedly the busiest person, and Yang Yang also spontaneously assumed the role of greeting everyone.
Before, he was a waiter in a restaurant, but now he is no stranger to returning to his old business, and he is also a familiar teammate, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is warm.
Ronald Koeman didn't come because he felt that his appearance would only make the players more uncomfortable, but he strongly supported Yang Yang's organization of a dinner for his teammates, mainly because the atmosphere of the team has been somewhat recent. Not right.
After finally ushering in a week of rest, he intends to give the team two days off so that the players can rest well.
Soon, when the dishes were brought up one by one, the players had already given up on other things and started to feast on it.
For Chinese food, most of them have not tasted it, some are unfamiliar, and some even resist it.
But over the years, Shen Ming has been able to gain a foothold in Almere and become famous, not only because of his special Chinese dishes, but also because he has developed a few dishes with Chinese characteristics, but at the same time in line with European tastes Mode.
Therefore, Yang Yang is not at all worried that his teammates will not be used to it.
In fact, no one is used to it.
They are all players. Between eating and drinking, the topic is naturally inseparable from football.
While chatting and laughing, Yang Yang conveyed to the players what he had learned during the meeting with the coaching staff, mainly to let everyone understand the current situation of the team more clearly and avoid some misjudgments or resistance. .
Communicate with the players and the coaching staff, which is also the responsibility of the team captain.
"Our current situation is not bad. I believe that there will be a great improvement in the future. It can even be said to be the best in the past two or three years."
Yang Yang's remarks were recognized by many veteran players in the team.
Needless to say last year, Ajax played in a mess in the Eredivisie and the Champions League, especially the Champions League. They lost to Bayern 0-4 in the second group stage, and suffered a humiliating defeat.
As for the year before, that is, the year when the team finally counterattacked and won the championship, the results were relatively average. They lost to AC Milan away in the first round, and then Ajax also encountered obstacles in the league and the Champions League, and the situation was worrying.
In contrast, this year's situation is the best in recent years.
So far, Ajax has maintained an unbeaten record on two fronts, and also defeated Liverpool to win the European Super Cup.
When it comes to AC Milan, Yang Yang thinks of Kaka.
"Kaka was sitting in front of me during the Champions League group draw."
Yang Yang smiled and told his teammates what happened to him at that time.
"He asked me at the time, who is the team I don't want to meet the most, and guess what, what did I say?"
"Who?" Sneijder asked with a smile.
Everyone is also very curious.
"I said, I don't mind meeting any team, because I believe that no matter who we encounter, we have enough strength to compete with our opponents." Yang Yang said confidently.
"well said!"
"Yes, that's great!"
The teammates are all young people, and they all responded.
"Later, Kaka asked me again, which team would you most like to meet?"
Everyone looked at Yang Yang this time, waiting for him to give an answer.
"I told him, AC Milan!"
Everyone was a little surprised after hearing this, this is the most powerful team in Europe today.
With the current strength of Ajax, compared with AC Milan, there is still a big gap.
But old players such as Sneijder, Galasek, Maxwell and Fermaelen all figured out what Yang Yang meant and nodded in unison.
"That's right, touch AC Milan, not bad!" Sneijder gritted his teeth.
"Unfortunately, I missed the draw!"
"Listening to you, I also want to touch AC Milan." Vermaelen was also eager to try.
Heitinga said even more eagerly: "If I really meet AC Milan, I will kill them!"
Many new players did not understand the situation, so they asked for the inside story.
Galasek quickly explained how AC Milan seduced Trabelsi without any reason, and made the right back of Tunisia clamor for a transfer, which made the Ajax locker room and outside the locker room almost messed up. Say it again.
Frankly speaking, it is unfair to blame all AC Milan, because there was still a conflict between Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart within the team at that time, but the Rossoneri undoubtedly played a role in instigating the flames and fueling the flames.
Since AC Milan could do something like that at the time, Yang Yang doesn't mind using him to unite his teammates now.
At present, the core and backbone players in the team have all experienced those things in those years. Naturally, they do not have much affection for AC Milan, and even have some resentment. At this time, when Yang Yang mentioned it, they all felt relieved.
Especially in front of Kaka, the provocation issued is not too enjoyable.
"What did Kaka say?" De Jong asked with concern.
Yang Yang smiled, "Kaka said, I hold grudges, and I told him that I do hold grudges, so when they come to Amsterdam Arena, it's better to be careful, I let them go back and forth!"
"Well said!" Everyone cheered.
Back then, Ajax lost 0-1 to AC Milan in Amsterdam. Yang Yang just sat in the stands, but many players, including Sneijder, De Jong, and Heitinga, appeared on the pitch.
"Everyone said that AC Milan is strong, this is undeniable, but don't forget, Liverpool are also very strong, they reversed AC Milan in the Champions League final, the overall strength is not inferior to AC Milan, but in the European Super Cup, we We beat Liverpool 2-1 and that's a testament to our quality."
When it comes to the European Super Cup, teammates have regained their confidence and confidence.
Ajax is proud to have played to that level with Liverpool.
"So, I was thinking, it doesn't matter if we didn't meet AC Milan in the group stage, we will try to qualify from the group stage, we will go to the knockout stage to touch them, not only that, we have to try our best to win the group stage in the group stage. First, to die for Arsenal."
When Yang Yang said this, his face was full of confidence and determination.
"I always believe in one thing. Confidence is kicked out one game at a time!"
If it were another team, it would certainly not have too many feelings, but Ajax is completely different.
Two years ago, Ajax almost came out of the bottom of the group stage, but the last match was miraculously reversed, and the next one was better than the other, and finally they reached the Champions League final step by step and defeated Porto to win the championship.
This miraculous championship journey is the best proof.
Confidence is really kicked out one game at a time.
"Not only AC Milan, but also Juventus, and Bayern Munich, all the teams that have beaten us, we have to get them back one by one!" Yang Yang shouted loudly.
This time, the player's feelings were significantly deeper.
Especially the 0-4 loss to Bayern Munich last season, it can be said to be appalling!
But the more this is the case, the easier it is to arouse the same hatred of the players.
They are all young players, who doesn't want to be embarrassed?
…………
…………
After a week of adjustment, the state and morale of the Ajax players have clearly recovered.
A week later, the Eredivisie ushered in the sixth round.
Ajax sits at the Amsterdam Arena, ushered in the sixth round opponent Roda JC.
Although they will face Arsenal in midweek, Ajax is still playing in the main lineup.
Rhoda JC played away, and head coach Stevens put out a five-back formation, trying to hold the score on the road.
But Ajax adopted the tactics of indiscriminate bombing at the beginning, especially seized the weak air defense of Roda JC's central defender, actively played the high point of Charlesteas, and in the 28th and 1st respectively Forty minutes, two goals in a row.
The Greek center scored twice and played the best form since joining Ajax.
Among them, the first goal of Charlie Steas came from Yang Yang's accurate cross from the right.
Leading by two goals in the first half, Yang Yang scored another victory in the 60th minute of the second half, helping Ajax to further expand the score.
Since then, Ajax has made continuous substitutions and adjustments, and core players such as Yang Yang and Sneijder have been replaced successively.
Roda JC scored a goal in the 81st minute, but Ajax pulled one back in the 86th minute by Galasek.
In the end, Ajax defeated Roda JC 4-1 at home and successfully scored three points.
And Warwick, who led the standings, finally ushered in a defeat after five consecutive victories.
In their own home, Warwick and Utrecht staged a crazy offensive and defensive battle in the second half, especially in the final stoppage time, Warwick first equalized the score, but Utrecht made a lore in the last minute.
In the end, Warwick lost to Utrecht 2-3.
Ajax reversed Walwick to top the Eredivisie standings.
Alkmaar was beaten 1-2 by Breda, and Van Gaal's side lost their first defeat of the season.
With his goals in this round, Yang Yang caught up with Aviladze and tied for the top scorer with nine goals.
He also had five assists.
