Chapter 77 I'm Proud of You, Yang.
"Win! Win!! We win!!!"
At the moment when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the players of Ajax's second team on and off the pitch cheered wildly.
The players on the bench rushed into the court one after another, and the players in the middle and backcourt rushed forward one after another.
Yang Yang has lost all his strength, lying on the grass with a feeling of weakness floating in the clouds.
He suddenly felt that this was the most moving part of football, and the goal that made him tirelessly pursue.
Constantly challenge the limit and constantly break through yourself.
There should be nothing more moving in this world than this.
"Stinky boy, how about pretending to be dead?" Fermallen appeared above him with a smile.
"No, let me lie down for a while." Yang Yang waved his hands weakly, he was really tired.
The last sprint completely emptied the last bit of strength in his body. At that time, he even doubted whether he could stick to the goal. Fortunately, he did, but in retrospect, he was still a little scared.
Precisely because of this, this taste is the most moving.
The afterlife is always the best.
"That's not good, we won't let you go." Fermallen smiled and stretched out his left hand.
"Please." Yang Yang smiled bitterly.
"I said no, get up quickly."
Seeing that Yang Yang was still clinging to the grass and refusing to get up, Fermaelen was also ruthless, "Everyone, come on, put him up for me."
Everyone suddenly burst into laughter, some raised their hands, some raised their feet, and they really wanted to stand up Yang Yang, so scared that Yang Yang hurriedly begged for mercy, kept saying that he was going, and finally got rid of the clutches of these spoofs.
Seeing Yang Yang standing on the ground, his legs trembling so weakly, everyone admired them from the bottom of their hearts.
Yang Yang's strength is not necessarily the strongest in the team, but his determination and fighting spirit are enough to leave everyone behind.
And in this game, if it wasn't for Yang Yang's persistence to the end, they would not have been able to take away the 2-0 victory from the away game.

On the sidelines, Van Basten watched with a smile as the players on the court surrounded Yang Yang and Fermaelen. A group of people were talking and laughing over there, celebrating this difficult victory. Yes, Babel, who looked a little lonely, moved in his heart.
"Sometimes, whether it's on the court or in the locker room, the status and the right to speak have to be won by oneself. From the court, from the weekdays, to win bit by bit, to accumulate, it will not come out of thin air from the sky. drop down."
Such a sincere remark is obviously Van Basten's admonition to Babel.
Both the coaching staff and the club's management have high hopes for Babel, but the teenager seems to have lived up to everyone's expectations for him. The important reason is his character and determination.
The team is a whole, consisting of more than 20 people, each of whom has their own careful thinking and calculation. Even if the coaching staff repeatedly entrusts Babel with important tasks, if the players do not have corresponding performance and responsibility, then other players Will you be convinced?
On the contrary, like Yang Yang, he is relatively low-key on weekdays and rarely speaks in the team, but he always leaves the training ground at the latest, and his training is also the hardest, and his skills improve the fastest. The competition, as well as the training performance on weekdays, made everyone look at him with admiration.
Even the direct competitor De Moor was standing in the crowd at the stadium at this time.
Yang Yang undoubtedly has a strong heart. He knows exactly what he wants and is willing to work hard for it. Even he knows that his basic skills are not enough, and he is willing to restrain himself for a long time and invest in that extremely boring basic training.
Even today, he still insists on this extremely boring, almost self-abuse basic training every day.
This brought him an imperceptible change.
Even as the head coach of the second pair, it was difficult for Van Basten to notice this change. Only at a certain time would he suddenly realize that he had improved again without knowing it.
It's like a child. He grows up imperceptibly every day, but it is difficult for parents to pay attention. Only when the clothes are shorter and the shoes are smaller, will they suddenly realize that they have grown up again. .
"It's been almost three months since he joined Ajax?" Van Basten turned his head and asked.
"Yeah." John Vanschip nodded, "Time flies so fast, three months have passed in the blink of an eye, this kid learns everything fast, with such obvious progress, and willing to work hard, and with such determination, really Looking forward to it.”
As coaches, they are all eager for their players to become talents, which is also a very honorable thing for them.
"He's a smart guy, and he's always been at the top of the class in culture. There's no limit to the future of such a kid," Van Basten said flatly.
Many people think that football is about the body and the technique, but in fact, both the body and the technique are important, but the most important thing is the mind, which is the most important treasure of a professional player.
Ajax has always been very aware of this. Therefore, the club attaches great importance to cultural courses, but the players do not seem to have this kind of awareness. Many players drop out of school at the age of 15 or 6 to play full-time to make money. This is very short-sighted. an act.
But Yang Yang is obviously different. Whether it is in the classroom or on the football field, he has achieved impressive results.
At this time, Yang Yang and Fermaelen slowly walked to the sidelines surrounded by their teammates.
Van Basten greeted him with a laugh and opened his arms towards Yang Yang. He didn't care whether he was wearing a suit or Yang Yang was sweating profusely, he hugged Yang Yang so hard.
"I'm proud of you, Yang." Van Basten said forcefully.
This remark made Yang Yang a little flattered and moved.
During the three months he stayed in the second team of Ajax, Van Basten gave him a lot of advice and help both publicly and privately, and Yang Yang was also deeply impressed by the way the Dutch star treated others.
At this moment, he is proud of being recognized by Van Basten.

Ajax's second team advances to the last sixteen of the Dutch Cup!
This piece of news seems to have thrown a blockbuster into the Netherlands, and it quickly attracted the attention of the whole Netherlands and even European football. The reason is very simple. Everyone knows that this is the independent coach of the legendary Dutch superstar Van Basten. The first season of the first team.
It is not unusual to be able to stand out from the first knockout round composed of 80 teams, but it is not easy to be able to reach the third round from the 40 teams. In the third round of knockout, only A Jax's second team and a reserve team.
But now, Van Basten's team actually defeated Den Bosch, the leader of the Dutch Second League, in the third knockout round and reached the round of 16, which is undoubtedly extremely difficult.
You know, Den Bosch was eliminated in the second round by Zwolle of the Eredivisie, proving that the strength of this Eredivisie team is not inferior to the Eredivisie team, and Van Basten can lead a reserve team to such a level The degree, the results can be described as brilliant.
At the end of the third round of knockout, ten teams will be decided in ten games, plus six strong Eredivisie teams such as Ajax and PSV Eindhoven to form the top sixteen to draw lots.
Many media are even looking forward to seeing Ajax coached by Ronald Koeman encounter the second Ajax team coached by Van Basten. It will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers.
Since the third round of the Dutch Cup was not broadcast live on TV, and the game had little influence, it attracted not many media, even photos, which made all the media use text or accompanying text when reporting. The previous photo of Van Basten.
But in all the written reports, for the first time, an unfamiliar name appeared, Yang Yang on the 21st.
At the last moment of the game, one person turned the tide and saved the second team of Ajax. One pass and one shot helped the second team of Ajax take away a victory from the away game. The young player of Ajax began to attract many professionals. people's eyes.
Especially on that night, the host of Amsterdam's famous radio show Football Online, Aaron Moy, spent a whole period to report on this game and Yang Yang. He was deeply impressed by his vision a few months ago. Be proud and proud.
Even, on the show, Aaron Moi said that Yang Yang is becoming a rising star at Ajax.
"According to the information I have received, with the poor performance of the first team and a serious shortage of players on the right, whether to promote him to the first team is already a hot topic on Ronald Koeman's desk."
Just joined Ajax from Almere a few months ago, and quickly gained a firm foothold in the second team, performing well, and looking to enter the first team again, Aaron Moi said that the 17-year-old who just turned 17 in October. Yang Yang is like riding a rocket, soaring at an extremely fast speed, no one can stop him.
This episode also attracted Yang Yang's attention among Ajax fans in the surrounding areas of Amsterdam, and everyone noticed this unfamiliar name from the radio and newspapers.
Will he be Ajax's hope on the right?
No one knows, but they are all looking forward to the answer.
It's just that the Ajax official seemed to deliberately keep a low profile and did not give any feedback to the outside world. Even a local media asked to interview Yang Yang, but the club refused.
Van Basten later told Yang Yang that this was a joint decision of Van Gaal and him, because they both felt that it was not suitable for Yang Yang to be exposed to the public prematurely. It is not good for him to work hard to improve in an affected environment, rather than to become the darling of the media early.
In this regard, Yang Yang took it seriously and accepted it willingly.
For Yang Yang, the media reports have not had any impact on his life, because apart from his name, he has never even been photographed, and even when he is walking on the street, no one will recognize him at all. Come.
That is, when he arrived at school every morning, some classmates or student councils who had heard of him would run over to ask him for an autograph, but the most terrifying thing was that a female classmate invited him to a private party, which made Yang Yang at a loss.
So to go or not to go?
This is obviously a very serious question.
