Chapter 58 Finally Upgraded

In the days that followed, Yang Yang's life was flat and fulfilling.

After getting up early every day to wash up, I went out to the east of the town and jogged around the beautiful Odekerke Lake, which was exactly three kilometers. After sweating, I went back to the town and took breakfast home.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maxwell are now so poor that they have to eat not only dinner but also breakfast.

Fortunately, their rentals are signed long-term, otherwise, I am afraid that they will sleep on the street.

On the third day in Amsterdam, Jensen came to inform him that school was open.

Ajax has already signed up for Yang Yang, and every morning he only needs to show up at the junction in the east of the town to wait for the school bus, take a cultural class at the school in the morning, and return to De Tokmost for training after the lunch break.

The new season is approaching, and the atmosphere of De Tokmost has clearly become more serious. Only a neurotic guy like Ibrahimovic is as handsome and cool as always. Everyone else obviously feels it. The pressure of the new season.

The training of the second team is still as high-intensity as always, but Yang Yang has been practicing hard for the past few months, and there is nothing uncomfortable, and he has been working hard to integrate into the team.

Whether it's training or team competition, Yang Yang can clearly feel Van Basten's intentions.

At present, many positions in the main lineup of the second team have been determined almost, and the formation used by the team is still the four-three-three formation that Ajax Ray cannot move.

Ryan Babel is the youngest, but the most consistent player on the team, and he is the perfect choice for the center position.

In terms of midfield, Maduro and Crohn's positions are very solid. One of them is behind and the other is forward. They complement each other very well. As for the remaining position, the competition is fierce. Both Moore and Keizer have a chance.

Among them, Emmanuel Nursson has the strength to play as a left winger, and Demuer can also play as a right winger. Both of them are also important competitors on the two wings of the frontcourt, and Yang Yang's right winger, in addition to Demuler, There is also an 18-year-old Sergio Cameron, an African-American player, who is currently the fastest in the team.

Compared with Yang Yang, Vermaelen is very much used in central defender. He and Lindgren are Van Basten's most trusted central defender combination.

As for the goalkeeper, of course, the captain Zwinkels.

Whether in daily training or in group competitions, Van Basten and the coaching staff are constantly inspecting players and selecting the main lineup for the new season, which also makes the team's competitive atmosphere increasingly intense.

Yang Yang didn't take competition too seriously. He mainly thought about how to improve himself. He always believed that as long as he was strong enough, the main position would naturally fall to him.

There is no wall of the skate park, but the teammate Fermaelen is welcomed. After the training session ends every day, the two will continue to stay in the team for additional training. The Belgian also accompanies Yang Yang to do some basic parking. Ball and passing drills, it's only in the cross drills that he transforms into a strong center.

The two are of the same age, and they live together. They also get along very well with each other. They can be regarded as like-minded, and the two have added one-on-one offense and defense. This is Yang Yang's strength, but Fairmaelen The defensive ability is not bad, and the two fought happily on the training ground.

Ibrahimovic and Maxwell, who eat meals every morning and evening, often go to the training ground of the second team to practice with them after finishing the training of the first team. It just so happens that Maxwell also has to practice crosses from the left. So on the training ground, Yang Yang and Maxwell crossed from left and right, and Ibrahimovic in the middle ravaged Fermaelen.

On the second night after the official enrollment, Yang Yang just fell asleep and entered the super training ground. Lao Bing officially informed him that from now on, his sparring opponent has been upgraded from the original third level to the second level, that is, the Netherlands. The strength of the League B.

Finally upgraded.

This was Yang Yang's first feeling after receiving the news, but he also gradually felt that his strength improvement was slowing down.

In the past, the foundation was too poor, the speed of repairing was very fast, and the improvement was very fast, giving people a feeling of advancing thousands of miles, but after filling up most of the shortcomings and weaknesses, if you want to improve next, it is not only more difficult, but also faster. will also be slower.

But Lao Bing also said that the speed of progress is not important, the important thing is that the basic skills must be solid, and the details must be ruthless.

Daily basic training is still essential, but in the super training ground, it is still mainly to practice [Ronaldo's Assault] and [Beckham's Cross]. These two star skills will be Yang Yang's next foothold in the team. fundamental.

Even if he jumped from Almere to Ajax, Yang Yang is not at all complacent, because he is very clear that in the Ajax youth training camp, there are too many better players than him, as long as he is a little bit better. Once relaxed, he could be replaced at any time, and he could be sent back to Almere at any time.

This is unacceptable to him.

Therefore, he can only bury his head in training. Even if Fermaelen can't accompany him to practice, he will find a remote and uninhabited place in De Tokmost, training against the wall, not daring to slack off. .

The days passed so smoothly for a week.

…………

…………

At noon on this day, Ajax's special car took the youth players back to De Tokmost from the school.

After Yang Yang waved goodbye to his teammates from the same school, they each returned to their teams.

Among the players who are still studying in De Tokmost so far, Yang Yang's team is at the highest level.

The players of the first team and the second team are basically full-time. Even Demuer, Emmanuel Nurson and Babel, who are the same age as Yang Yang, gave up their studies early and concentrated on playing football.

As usual, Yang Yang walked into the lounge of the second team with a schoolbag on his back. As soon as he entered the door, he clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right. He looked at the people in the lounge a little strangely, and went straight to Fairmalon's. beside.

"Thomas, what's going on?" Yang Yang asked in a low voice.

Fermaelen approached Yang Yang and whispered, "Last night the first team almost lost."

"What?" Yang Yang frowned.

Vermaelen nodded, "In the third round of the Champions League qualifying round, the opponent was Graz AK of Austria. In the first game of the new season, the first team played very badly and could not break the opponent's goal in the first half. A ball."

"and then?"

"At a crucial moment, Sneijder saved the team."

Yang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and the introverted little man image appeared in his mind. He always felt that Sneijder was very unusual. Although he was not as eye-catching as Van der Vaart, he was always unpredictable.

"One-to-one, scored a goal away, but failed to beat Graz AK. The coaching staff of the first team was furious this morning and were very dissatisfied with the performance of the players, especially on the offensive end."

"Nazlatan..." Yang Yang was a little worried about the Swedish center.

Fermaelen shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't worry about him, I saw him during lunch, and he was like nothing, he ate more than usual, and seemed to be in a good mood."

"Why?" Yang Yang was very strange.

"Last night Ronald Koeman didn't start him, Wesley Sunck started for 65 minutes, the team didn't score, and after Zlatan came in for him, the team's offense improved a lot. , Sneijder also equalized the score, you say, can he be in a bad mood?"

Yang Yang secretly laughed in his heart, with the Swedish temperament, I am afraid that he will be proud, but the head coach Koeman will definitely be depressed.

The poor performance of the starting lineup is only one of them. What's more important is that the away game against Graz AK actually failed to win, leaving the suspense to the home game. If you are not careful, you may be upset by the opponent at any time.

The Champions League has always been an important source of income for Ajax. If the team fails to participate in the official group stage, the team will suffer heavy losses. Ronald Koeman must be responsible. Although he will not be dismissed, the pressure must be great. increase.

"Then what's going on with everyone now?" Yang Yang asked again.

"It's very simple, we are going to play the game soon."

"when?"

"Next Wednesday, the first round of the Dutch Cup is against Esselmerzos of Spakenburg."

Yang Yang knows about Spakenburg, which is about 40 kilometers away from the new city southeast of Amsterdam, just southeast of Almere. The southeast of Lake Hoy is connected to Lake Aim, and Spakenburg is located in Lake Aim. On the southeast side of the city, it is said to be a small town, but it is actually more like a village, with only three or five thousand inhabitants.

Despite the small population of Spakenburg, the Netherlands has a very strong football atmosphere. There are two amateur teams in such a small village, and the league level is not low, and they can all participate in the Dutch Cup, which is evident.

"This team is not difficult to play," Yang Yang said.

Not to mention Ajax's second team, even in Almere's first team, I'm afraid they can beat their opponents.

Fermaelen nodded, "The game is not difficult to play, but on the road, you can't be careless, and everyone is worried about the roster for the game, or even the starting roster."

"Oh." Yang Yang suddenly realized that it was so.

Most of the people present had to worry about this. Fermaelen was one of the few players who didn't need to worry about his position, so he had the intention to whisper to Yang Yang here.

"What? You're not worried?" Vermaelen looked at Yang Yang strangely.

To say that in this team, Yang Yang's position is not stable. Tom Demoore's voice as a right winger is even louder than Yang Yang. Does he really care about his position at all?

"It's useless to worry, I can't be the master of this, right?" Yang Yang chuckled, "If that's the case, then I can only do some things that I can call the shots, such as training hard, and the rest will take its course."

"You can read it." Vermaelen didn't know if what he said was true or not.

To say that Yang Yang does not want to enter the squad or start, it is definitely impossible. The water flows down and people climb up. He came to Ajax hoping to go further and keep climbing.

But as he said, since it is beyond his control, he will not think about it.

In his opinion, instead of struggling with these useless things, it is better to work hard to improve himself down-to-earth, but he still has many shortcomings that need to be strengthened, but he has no time to waste on such things.

The new season is about to start, and it will be an unforgettable journey!
