Chapter 73 I Am Ibrahimovic

At noon the next day, Yang Yang was called to the office of the head coach of the second team as soon as he returned to De Tokmost from school.

After the afternoon training session, he was left alone by the coaching staff amid the envy of many teammates.

John Van Schip was once a very good right winger for Ajax. He only played for two teams in his career, Ajax in the Netherlands and Genoa in Italy. success.

While playing in Ajax, he helped the team win the European Cup Winners Cup under the coaching of the ball Saint Cruyff.

For such a senior who has achieved brilliant achievements, Yang Yang has always been respectful.

Respecting teachers and respecting Taoism is also the education he has received since he was a child.

Van Basten has always been Yang Yang's idol, and he has given Yang Yang some advice and guidance several times after training sessions, but it is obviously different from now.

Standing in front of the two Dutch seniors, Yang Yang felt somewhat flattered.

Although he knew it was just an Ajax tradition.

"Okay, time is precious, I won't say anything more, John will take care of the specific matters, and he will be responsible for special training you in the future." Van Basten pointed to his teammates and smiled.

"Yang, keep in mind that John has more than ten years of professional league experience, from the Netherlands to Serie A to Europe. Contest."

Yang Yang nodded instructed, he believed what Van Gaal said.

John Rep has told him more than once that professional football is not only about strength, but also needs to pay attention to skills, and even some cunning tricks, because each other wants to do everything within the scope of the rules. Extremely beat your opponent.

I haven't felt much in the youth team, but in the first team, it will be very obvious.

In fact, Yang Yang felt it in the first game of the Dutch Cup. Even if the opponent is only a semi-professional team, they are all veteran players who have been in the lower leagues for many years. There are many small moves, and some are even disgusting. , then don't think about concentrating on the game.

"Here, I just want to tell you something I have observed recently." Van Basten said solemnly.

Yang Yang nodded solemnly.

"You are very diligent and hardworking. I can see and feel it. You are full of passion for football, you are full of hunger for the game, your desire to win is very strong, and you work hard for it all the time. your qualities."

When Van Basten said this, the conversation suddenly changed, "But you have to know that sometimes hard work doesn't necessarily mean right, just like in the game, you are always running and looking for opportunities. , but it may not be able to get the effect you want, have you ever thought about this problem?"

Yang Yang nodded, he really thought about it.

"On the football field, it's not difficult to make yourself run and go faster, but how to make yourself stop and slow down is the hardest and the most wise. Maybe you don't feel it now, but in the future you will definitely have it. Chance to understand."

After Yang Yang heard this, he couldn't help showing a thoughtful look.

He vaguely understood what Van Basten meant. Simply put, it was how to properly distribute physical energy and rest during the game.

Every player's physical fitness is always limited. Even if Yang Yang's physical fitness is very good, it is impossible to keep the audience full of energy in the 90-minute game. Therefore, he must learn how to allocate physical fitness reasonably and when he can Stopping and resting, when to run, when to sprint fast, and when to take your time are all tests of a player's game intelligence.

Once, Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic chatted about this topic, because he and Van Gaal clashed with everyone in the team who did not know, Yang Yang asked him why this happened, and the Swedish center's explanation also had his own reasons.

"Tall, strong and flexible body is my advantage, but it also means that I will consume faster than other players in the game. Have you ever thought about it, if I am like that damn old Dutch man said, Keep pressing, keep running, how much energy do I still have to attack?"

"I understand what the old Dutch man means, he thinks that I should not be too sticky, and that I should not be just a scorer, but a qualified tactical center, but he forgot that I am not Klui Witte, many things Kluivert can accept, but I can't because I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

When the Swedish center said this, Yang Yang still remembers his resolute appearance.

Do not press and oppress, do not actively return to defense, just to allow yourself to retain physical strength, and when opportunities arise, you can create threats with better and more certainty.

Rest is to go further.

The retracted fist will be more powerful.

These two sentences have the same meaning as what Van Basten said.

"In addition, there is another point that I think you should pay attention to next, and that is passing."

After Yang Yang basically digested his words, Van Basten continued to speak.

"In our traditional philosophy of Ajax, passing is undoubtedly very important, it can even be said to be the basis of all tactics, and it is also the first choice for us to encounter any difficulties and difficulties in the game. Pick one, and we'll choose the former because the latter is more risky."

"Of course, I don't mean to ask you to change your style of play, I want to say that your playing habits are not good, which is obviously affected by your previous playing experience, you are always used to playing when you can't Passing is the only option when there is a breakthrough.”

"It is true that you did a good job of breaking through the right flank, I have clearly seen your progress, and I also believe that you can continue to develop like this, but I hope you can understand that football is a team game and you need to respect and adapt. The whole philosophy of our club and we will respect and get used to the way you play."

Van Basten's remarks once again made Yang Yang ponder.

Obviously, even now, he has not integrated into the second team of Ajax. He is like a knife in someone else's hand, not a strong arm that holds the knife tightly. This is Van Basten. See it better than himself.

"I told you so much, it's not that you give up your own advantages, everyone has their own characteristics and advantages, so do you, and what I want you to do is to respect and integrate into our Ajak Stress, learn to do the most appropriate at the right time, and it is also the judgment that is most beneficial to the team.”

Having said that, Van Basten gently patted Yang Yang on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Trust me, this will make you integrate into the team faster and more actively, and it will also make your progress faster."

Yang Yang solemnly nodded in agreement.

He knew that this was what Van Basten said from the bottom of his heart.

The dark cloud that hangs over Ajax is coming and going fast.

A week after playing Breda, Ajax ushered in the sixth round of the Eredivisie.

In order to save energy for the Champions League in midweek, Koeman adjusted the starting lineup. Van der Vaart did not even enter the squad, but it was precisely because of this that Ajax’s frontcourt attack was very active.

With Ibrahimovic's one pass and one shot, Ajax finally swept Willem II at home 6-0 and won a hearty victory, but it also sparked the outside world again. A van der Vaart-compatible argument.

As Eindhoven unexpectedly lost 0-1 at home to Alkmaar in this round, Ajax successfully reversed to the top.

In midweek, Ajax continued to sit at home and ushered in the second opponent of the Champions League group stage, Belgium's Bruges.

Van der Vaart returned to the starting lineup, partnering with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but both players turned out to be mediocre, but Belgian striker Wesley Sonk scored twice to help the team 2-0 Home win.

At the weekend, in the seventh round of the Eredivisie, Ajax played away to Groningen. Another pass and shot from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, goals from Wesley Sonk and Mitya helped the team A three-to-one away win over Groningen.

The consecutive victories put an end to everyone's doubts about the Ajax first team, and Ronald Koeman also successfully resolved the first crisis of confidence in the new season.

During this period of time, Yang Yang lived a very normal life. He still went to school every morning to study and train in the afternoon. It was just that after each training session, before he practiced, he would follow John Van Schipper to train for 30 minutes. In addition to pointing out some technical and tactical matters for Yang Yang, the reporter will also teach him some countermeasures in the game.

Ajax 2nd team played two games against Heerenveen 2nd team and Utrecht 2nd team. Ajax 2nd team won both games. Although Yang Yang failed to score again , but did well on the right, especially against Utrecht II, where he had two assists.

After this period of time, everyone has gradually accepted that Yang Yang is the main right winger of the second team. Even Demuer usually acquiesces to this fact, but he was somewhat dissatisfied when he contacted Yang Yang.

After entering October, two weeks of national team game days soon ushered in, and leagues at all levels were suspended again.

During this period, Yang Yang specially ran back to Almere for two days, but basically nothing major happened. He just noticed by chance that his cousin Shen Yuzhu seemed to have a different opinion on the new part-time foreign student, which was quite interesting.

The quiet days passed quickly, and the league soon reignited the war.

In late October, Ajax 2 narrowly beat Sparta Rotterdam 2 2-1 at home, and then beat Willem II's reserve team 1-0 away. Yang Yang provided assists in two consecutive games. It was for Babel.

Perhaps because of the assist, Babel's perception of Yang Yang has also eased, but the two have basically no friendship other than football, and Yang Yang is not interested in getting involved with this lonely Dutchman.

After two weeks of national team competition, Van der Vaart finally ushered in an explosion, staged a brace, and helped Ajax beat newly-promoted Volendam five-to-one at home, while Ibrahimovic was in He scored the winning goal at home to help Ajax beat Celta Vigo 1-0 and win two consecutive Champions League group victories.

In the ninth round of the Eredivisie, in the away game against PSV Eindhoven, Van der Vaart received a red card before the end of the first half and was sent off. Soon, Eindhoven scored a goal by Van Bommel.

Although Sonk quickly equalized the score, but then John de Jong scored another victory for PSV.

At the critical moment, Ibrahimovic once again showed amazing personal strength, breaking the goal of PSV Eindhoven, helping Ajax to bring back a point 2-2 away, and keep the league leader position .

At the same time, the second Ajax team also ushered in a strong opponent in the Dutch Cup.

The Dutch League leader, Den Bosch.

Hehe, I'm cured, but the recommended tickets for the past two days seem to be a bit sluggish. Brothers, work harder!
