Chapter 43

Open your eyes, it's a new day.

Yang Yang was lying on the single bed, the sun shining through the thin curtains from the side window, bringing light to the dim room.

Almere finally lost yesterday's game, but Yang Yang won.

A brilliant goal earned him the recognition of all.

The final score was three to one. With the Almere players unable to resist, Ajax pulled three goals in a row in the second half, but none of them had much to do with Babel. Two of them were scored after he was substituted. Going backwards.

Tom De Moore, Amrabat and Maduro each scored a goal, showing the quality of the Ajax players.

Although he is still a little unwilling to the final result, Yang Yang also knows that there is a huge gap in strength between Almere and Ajax, and it is enough to be pleasantly surprised to be able to defend the first half and steal a goal.

Perhaps considering the large number of fans at the scene, the senior management of the Ajax youth academy, including Van Basten, had already left the stadium before the game was over. The Almere players turned their guts green with regret, but Yang Yang couldn't stop laughing.

Fortunately, he couldn't wait to run over to meet Van Basten before the game, shook hands, and took a group photo.

Ajax scout Fred Arroyo said that when the photo is developed, he will ask Van Basten to sign it and send it to Yang Yang, which makes him look forward to it and decides to frame it well , hung on the wall.

When he got home, took a shower, and got into bed, he entered the super training ground to review with Lao Bing.

This is his routine for the past two or three months, and every review will benefit him a lot. He firmly believes that through this slow accumulation, it will definitely bring huge benefits to his football career.

One of the main points of last night's review was to analyze the continuous change of direction that Yang Yang passed Vermaelen to pull the ball. Yang Yang himself felt that the completion was not bad, but Lao Bing was not particularly satisfied. He thought that this success was somewhat coincidental. factor included.

"The Belgian has at least the mid-level defense level of the Dutch B2, or even the lower part of the Dutch league. You can get past him, thanks to surprises and a little bit of luck."

Old Bing's words made Yang Yang feel surprised in retrospect.

The amateur game is a game that players under the age of 18 can only participate in. Thomas Vermaelen should also be between the ages of 17 and 18. He has already possessed a defensive level from the middle of the Dutch League to the lower part of the Dutch League. This guy has a bright future. Infinite.

But when he recalled the course of the game, he had to admit that it was indeed difficult for him to take advantage of Fermaelen. The guy was not tall and physically strong, but he was very difficult to deal with, with fast explosive power and flexible body. , The fighting ability is excellent, and being targeted by him is definitely a nightmare.

But thinking about it again, Yang Yang couldn't help but feel a small sense of accomplishment.

To earn a goal from such a player is something to be proud of, isn't it?

But more is fighting spirit.

Fermaelen doesn't look much bigger than him, but his strength is so much stronger, which makes Yang Yang have to remind himself again that he must continue to work hard and improve his strength as soon as possible.

It's getting closer and closer to Ajax's Talent Day selection.

"From today onwards, in addition to the daily training items, one more training item will be added." Lao Bing said lightly.

"Really? That's great!" Yang Yang asked happily.

Adding projects, it means that Lao Bing has recognized his progress.

Of course, training against the wall still has to be continued, but because he has become more and more skilled in his practice, the time spent on the same training program is far less than at the beginning, so it is not necessary to add some new items appropriately. more time.

What's more, Yang Yang has been improving all the time.

"Bring the sign plate and start practicing the most basic movements of the feet, such as dialing, pulling, pushing, picking, and buckling."

Today's Yang Yang is no longer the man he was a few months ago. Not only has he gained a lot through practice, he has also competed with opponents on the field with real swords and guns. He has even faced players like Vermaelen who are in the middle and upper reaches of the Dutch League. A strong defensive player will naturally have a deeper understanding.

He is very clear that any seemingly cumbersome and complicated technical movements are, to put it bluntly, composed of some of the most basic movements, just like Ronaldo's continuous change of direction to pull the ball. Discovery is actually very simple, and so is the pendulum.

And Lao Bing asked Yang Yang to use the sign plate to practice the basic actions of pulling, pushing, picking, and buckling. The purpose was naturally to further improve Yang Yang's mastery of [Ronaldo's Assault], as well as the actual application on the field, to exert greater power.

"Okay." Yang Yang agreed without hesitation, "When will you be able to upgrade the player level of defending me by another level?"

In the past month or so, Yang Yang has asked himself that his level has improved a lot, but the defensive players who accompany him in training are still at the third level. This makes him somewhat dissatisfied, especially after seeing the strength of Fermalon. .

"It's not time yet." Lao Bing rudely refused.

Yang Yang pouted helplessly, but he believed that the day would come back soon.

"Hey, why is it so early today?"

When Yang Yang went downstairs for breakfast and dinner, just in time for his uncle to go out to buy vegetables.

"Go to the park to practice ball after breakfast." Yang Yang replied with a smile.

"Practicing diligently is a good thing, but don't be too tired. You are growing up now. You only played a game last night. Today, you can just rest at home and have a good meal for you at noon." Uncle Shen Ming laughed.

Today's Yang Yang is like a living sign of Shen Ji Chinese Restaurant. Not only the players of the Almere youth team like to come here, but many citizens also come here. The restaurant business is much hotter than before, and even the usual bleak lunch starts. He became busy, and Shen Ming felt a headache in his heart.

And what makes him most happy is the progress of his nephew. Not only has he been recognized by Almere, but even teams like PSV Eindhoven and Ajax have favored him. A professional player in the A League, then he, who is an uncle, is also dazzled.

Shen Ming now treats this nephew better than he treats his daughter-in-law, so he thinks about recruiting a few more people, so that Yang Yang can concentrate on playing football, and he doesn't need to come back to the restaurant to help.

"Don't worry, uncle, I know my own body. After a good night's sleep, all the fatigue from last night has been swept away. I'm a fierce dragon now, and I just want to vent." Yang Yang smiled. Just kidding.

"Dragon spirits and tigers? Vent?" As soon as Shen Ming heard this, he immediately looked at his nephew carefully. There seemed to be signs of a beard growing on his upper lip and lower jaw. "It seems that you have grown up, so it's time for supplementation."

"Ah?" Yang Yang doesn't understand, what do you mean?

"Uncle Huihui will carefully prepare a stew of old duck with bullwhip for you. Let's remember the best nourishing food."

Cow...whip...stewed duck...what the hell?

Yang Yang didn't know what he was saying, but he felt hair all over his body. Why did he feel that his uncle didn't quite understand what he said today?

"Cough, you are almost seventeen, and you are eighteen years old. You should also consider getting a girlfriend. You can't just think about the game all day long. People say that the gods in the sky, the uncles on the earth, and your parents are not around. In this regard I still want your uncle to take care of you."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, is this going further and further away?

We were talking about practice just now, and then we went to the best nourishing food, and now we are talking about girlfriends...

Uncle, your brain circuit is turning too fast, right? I can't keep up.

Thirty-six strategies are the best, uncle, take your time, I will go first.

So, Yang Yangfei ran away, leaving his uncle, Shen Ming, behind him, shaking his head and sighing.

Young people of this age...cough...

However, I played the whole game last night, and I got up early to train this morning, so I worked hard. My nephew really has nothing to say. The past few months have not changed.

If such a child can't be kicked out, then Shen Ming can only say that God is unfair.

…………

When Yang Yang was training against the wall and the sign plate in the skate park, in the southeast new city of Amsterdam, more than 20 kilometers away, Ajax's training base De Tokmost finally ushered in a new technical director.

The famous Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, who has moved the whole European football, has officially decided to return.

This is the first time Van Gaal has returned as technical director, and the entire training base is taking it seriously.

Club president Michael Van Praag was personally accompanied by head coach Ronald Koeman, youth coach Van Basten, two academy assistants Luther Carroll and Patrick Radru, and chief scout Tony Browns Slots and more.

All the core management of De Tokmost came to greet them. After a few greetings at the door, they welcomed the chairman and the new technical director into the conference room and ushered in the first game of Ajax's new season. Athletics high-level meeting.

The main content of the meeting was to introduce the transfer progress of Ajax. Van der Meyde and Chivu have both decided to leave. They will bring 30 million euros of income to Ajax, which is also regarded as one of the first in the Eredivisie League. A huge sum of money.

But Ajax has no way to use this money to sign new players, because there are many young players in the first team who are waiting for the club to renew their contracts and raise their wages. This is the price Ajax will pay for retaining players.

In terms of signings, Ajax has only finalized Julian Escud, the French central defender, and since his contract with Rennes has expired, Ajax does not need to pay anything for him transfer fee.

But in contrast, the salary the player received was much higher than his time at Rennes, which was the price Ajax paid for him.

The 23-year-old French central defender can also be regarded as a professional winner. After a season of Ligue 2 in Cannes four years ago, he made a free transfer to Rennes. In the first season, he helped Rennes from Ligue 2 was promoted to Ligue 1, played in Ligue 1 for three seasons, and now has a free transfer to the European powerhouse Ajax in the Eredivisie.

In just a few short years, he can be said to have climbed one step at a time, and every step has been climbed very steadily.

For such players, Ajax is very at ease, because Escud knows what he wants, and he will do his best in every game at Ajax, and he will work very hard in every training.

To put it bluntly, Ajax is just a step up his ascent.

The next step is the four major leagues, that's for sure, but what team he can go to depends on his performance in Ajax.

At this point, the interests of the team and the players are aligned.

After talking about Escud, Van Gaal suddenly realized that the next topic was actually a person he knew.

Yang Yang.
