Chapter 158 A Beginner's Game

On the morning of the second day of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Ajax's [-]-[-] victory over Monaco aroused great repercussions and attention from the media in the Netherlands, Europe, and even the world.

Compared with another extremely boring zero-to-zero game, this game between Ajax and Monaco was obviously better.

Of course, in the semi-finals, neither side has an absolute advantage in strength, and it is basically impossible to play unrestrainedly on the scene. After all, no one wants to make mistakes in this kind of game, but Ajax's victory still attracted unanimous praise.

Van der Vaart opened the scoring, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice, and Ajax's two ace stars contributed three goals. This made all the media pay attention to the two stars of the team. At the same time, many people also noticed the gold medal substitute Yang Yang.

Coming off the bench again and planning two goals again, Yang Yang's performance surprised everyone again.

A young player who was only 17 years old turned out to perform well again in the Champions League semi-finals, which surprised everyone.

Everyone said that only in a team like Ajax can a young player like Yang Yang perform so well. Many people even began to look forward to whether Yang Yang could reproduce the glory of Kluivert back then.

In [-], the young Kluivert came off the bench in the Champions League final and scored a key lore goal.

What's even more interesting is that the head coach of Ajax, Van Gaal, is now the technical director of Ajax. Kluivert was promoted to the first team by Van Gaal in the summer of 25, and quickly gained a foothold in the first team. He scored [-] goals in [-] games, and his performance was quite eye-catching.

Regarding the use of Kluivert, Van Gaal also depends on the specific situation. Especially in the Champions League, Van Gaal often arranges Kluivert as a substitute. He has been arranged to start a few times and his performance is relatively average. On the contrary, after coming off the bench, Kluivert has repeatedly performed amazingly, including the goal in the Champions League final.

Yang Yang is a right winger and Kluivert is a center forward. The two players are completely different, but the cultivation and use of the two players by Ajax are almost the same, and the rise of the two players is planned by Van Gaal.

But there are also many people who disagree, thinking that Yang Yang and Kluivert are not alike at all, because Kluivert’s impression was obviously more amazing at the time, and he showed superhuman strength as soon as he debuted. Although Yang Yang performed very well, he is still only a role player for Ajax so far.

"He scored [-] league goals in the first season of his debut, and scored [-] league goals in the second season. He helped Ajax win the league championship for two consecutive seasons. This is the data given by Kluivert. At that time, he was almost the most perfect center in European football."

"On the other hand, the current Yang Yang, apart from quick breakthroughs from the wing, is also good at crossing, but he is far from being outstanding in terms of stopping the ball, scoring goals, etc., especially his stopping the ball, which can almost be made into a collection of stopping mistakes."

However, many media reporters who supported Yang Yang retorted, thinking that Yang Yang was only 17 years old, and Kluivert was already [-] years old when he debuted. It is obvious that Kluivert’s standards cannot be used to demand Yang Yang. After all, young players improve every year. With Yang Yang’s current progress, who dares to say that he will not be as good as Kluivert next season?

…………

Yang Yang didn't care about the quarrel with the outside media at all.

He never thought of comparing himself with anyone, and he is also very aware of his weaknesses and shortcomings.

When the outside media reporters and fans were arguing, he was drawing a square in the small training ground of De Tokmoster, and inserted two marker poles on both sides of the square, which looked like goals.

Yang Yang stood face to face with Maxwell on the other side, and the ball was stepped on by the Brazilian left back.

"What's going on?" Van der Vaart, Sneijder, De Jong and others all ran over curiously.

Yang Yang's extra training after the training session every day, the whole De Tokmoster is already used to it, but he didn't expect him to toss out a new thing today, which made everyone curious.

"Practice more."

"Additional training?" De Jong was very surprised, "Could it be that the wall over there was kicked down?"

"How is it possible?" Vermaelen looked at De Jong with a depressed expression on my face. The two of them are roommates. "Use your brain to think about it. How much effort would it take to knock down that wall? And you have to pay for it. Who kicked down the wall so stupidly?"

After hearing this, everyone laughed and thought it made sense.

"Then what is he going to do?" Ned asked curiously.

"I heard that this is a training method that Yang Yang dug from Luther Carroll. It is said that he can train to stop the ball." When Ibrahimovic replied, his attention was always on the court.

Yang Yang is telling Maxwell about the specific training process and details.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Yang Yang's poor stop is well known to the whole team, so everyone will take this into consideration when passing the ball to him, and try to make the pass easier for him to avoid mistakes.

Now it seems that he intends to practice hard on his stop.

But how to practice in this square?
When everyone was curious, Yang Yang in the square had already explained the rules to Maxwell.

In fact, the rules are very simple, that is, Maxwell takes the ball and passes it to Yang Yang. He can choose any method at will, as long as he passes the ball to Yang Yang, and Yang Yang needs to stop the ball.

But things are definitely not that simple. After Maxwell passes the ball, he can press the ball at any time. Yang Yang not only needs to stop the ball, but also needs to find ways to get rid of Maxwell's pressing and take the ball past the left and right goals.

It seems simple at first, but in fact it is not easy, because Maxwell can choose to press at any time after passing the ball, which is tantamount to creating pressure on Yang Yang’s stop, and Yang Yang will bring the ball into the left and right goals after stopping the ball, so he must think about where to stop the ball and what to do next at the moment of stop.

In addition, Maxwell can also choose according to his own ideas, choose to grab the ball at the first time, or grab it when Yang Yang stops the ball, or even wait for him to stop the ball before grabbing. At the same time, the direction of pressing can also be different. This can basically be said to simulate various situations in the actual game.

Maxwell's defense is good, and in order to facilitate his next press, he always deliberately makes things difficult when passing the ball, but Yang Yang's stoppage is very average. Needless to say, Yang Yang was tortured in training. He made so many mistakes that Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the sidelines couldn't stand it.

"My God, how did you stop the ball?"

"Oh, I stopped three meters away, even if I am disabled, I can steal the ball."

"God, look, is this a stop?"

"Go out and don't tell people that you know me, I don't have a buddy like you!"

"I can stop with my butt better than you."

Hearing Ibrahimovic's exaggerated words, everyone was amused for a while, but they all knew that he had always had such a personality.

In terms of friendship, the two people facing each other on the field are his two best friends.

On the court, Yang Yang made mistakes again and again, and he continued to train again and again. Maxwell changed to Vermaelen to accompany him in training. Even De Jong and Heitinga couldn't help but take turns playing for a while.

It wasn't until he was exhausted at last that Yang Yang called to stop, panting for breath all the time.

"Hey, how does it feel to be abused?" Ibrahimovic leaned over and asked with a playful smile.

"You are talking on the sidelines, if you have the ability, go up and try yourself."

After hearing this, Ibrahimovic froze when he saw Maxwell, Vermaelen, De Jong and others gearing up and eager to try, "Forget it, I don't play this kind of beginner's game."

In fact, he himself was not sure.

In such a small-scale field, facing professional players known for their defensive abilities like Maxwell, Vermaelen and De Jong, even he who claims to be excellent at stopping the ball is not very sure, and it is better to hide his clumsiness.

Seeing the Swedish center showing timidity, everyone present burst into laughter again, and turned to make fun of him.

Ibrahimovic is like this, can tease others, but can also make others tease.

However, Yang Yang already felt the difficulty of this training after only one training session, especially Luther Carroll said that with the improvement of his ability to stop the ball, he can further narrow the scope of the field, which is simply killing him.

But no matter how difficult it is, you must practice stopping the ball anyway.

Without an excellent stop, how can we survive in the future?

…………

…………

In the corridor on the second floor of the De Tokmorst training building, head coach Ronald Koeman saw this scene in the corner of the training ground and shook his head at assistant coach Luther Carroll.

"You're giving him a blow to the head, aren't you afraid that he will be devastated after being frustrated?"

Luther Carroll shook his head with a smile, "If he was such a person, he would never have had the chance to enter Ajax. Besides, given his current situation, he would have to take serious medicine. Only by practicing hard can he make progress. Otherwise, how will he adapt to the changes in the team in the future?"

Ronald Coman was silent. He also knew that Luther Carroll was right. What was even more rare was that Yang Yang came to the door to inquire on his own initiative, showing his determination to be proactive.

This dose of medicine is indeed a bit strong, but the effect must be excellent. If Yang Yang can really temper it and improve his stop, I believe his overall performance will be even better, and his ability will become stronger.

Only by making continuous progress and constantly improving his competitiveness, Yang Yang will finally be able to realize the expectations of technical director Van Gaal and the coaching staff, become the pillar of Ajax, take over the class of Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic, and prop up the banner of Ajax.

The way has been pointed out, it depends on whether Yang Yang is willing to leave.
