Chapter 207 Crazy [2700 monthly ticket plus update, please subscribe monthly ticket]

In the Netherlands in August, the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large.

Although he has been away for two months, Yang Yang is still the same as before. He gets up on time, brushes his teeth and washes his face, puts on the Adidas pair of Chinese red combat boots, puts on a sports jacket, and picks up the football by the door. Just as he was about to go out, he heard a commotion upstairs.

"Wait, wait, wait for me."

Not long after, I saw Vermaelen go downstairs and rush out the door in a gust of wind.

"What's the rush, am I waiting for you?" Yang Yang scolded with a smile.

Vermaelen laughed, and pointed behind him. Yang Yang looked back and saw Maxwell also going out.

In the second half of last season, for a long time, the four of them often practiced together every morning, so Yang Yang was not surprised. What really surprised him was the woman who just sent Maxwell out.

"Who is that?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

Vermaelen waved his hand, kicked the ball over to Maxwell who was running over, and said with a loud smile, "Yang Yang is asking, why is there a woman hidden in your house?"

Maxwell smiled awkwardly, even a little shy, "That's my wife."

"You brought your wife here?" Yang Yang was overjoyed, "When did it happen?"

"Just this summer, there are two more children who are going to go to school in Amsterdam." Maxwell smiled happily.

Yang Yang knew in his heart that the Brazilian left back must be ready to either leave the team or renew his contract and raise his salary.

As one of the best players in Ajax last season, if Maxwell stays in the team, he will definitely get a higher salary, at least similar to Yang Yang.

"He, now he basically doesn't go out every night, and is quietly preparing to have a third child." Vermaelen joked with a smile.

"Wow, you are amazing." Yang Yang said with full admiration.

Maxwell now has two sons, and he still wants to be born again, which is really a lot of courage.

Of course, he really loves kids and has to be on the phone almost every night.

"He's going to have a football team," Vermaelen laughed.

Max Weldon flew a kick, but was dodged by the Belgian central defender.

Yang Yang was also in a good mood, and pointed to Ibrahimovic's house opposite, "Is this house opposite again rented out?"

"Well, it was rented to his fellow villagers." Vermaelen pointed to Maxwell and said.

"Who?" Yang Yang didn't understand.

"Didn't the club sign two players in Brazil before? A left back named Felipe Luis, who was only 19 years old, and a right back named Douglas Maicon, who was 23 years old."

Only then did Yang Yang suddenly remember, but because no one paid attention to these two transfers, there were no media reports at all.

However, Yang Yang has heard of the name Douglas Maicon. He debuted in Cruzeiro. He is not only the same age as Maxwell, but also a teammate of the youth team and the national youth team. However, he did not play the main role in Cruzeiro.

Last season, Trabelsi made a fuss about a transfer. Ajax had been wanting to introduce a right back before the winter break, but at that time they were looking at Cruzeiro's main right back Maurinho.

Unexpectedly, the main player was not bought, but the substitute Maicon was bought instead.

"How is his strength?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

He is a right winger, so of course he has to care about the strength of the right back.

"The speed is fast, the skills are good, and the ability is definitely there, but it still has some habits of playing football in Brazil, and the defense is not good enough. This will be a problem." Maxwell said.

Maxwell himself is not a player known for his defense. If even he feels that Maicon's defense is not good, then he must strengthen it. Yang Yang is not surprised by this.

Maicon and the left back named Felipe Luiz shared the original house of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and it was done with the help of Maxwell. They will be regarded as neighbors with Yang Yang in the future.

Not only that, several players newly introduced this season also live in the surrounding area.

"Van Gaal has become the head coach of Alkmaar, and the club has also introduced Vlaar from Alkmaar. This high-school defender is still very capable. Thomas still has a lot of competitive pressure this season."

The three of them ran and chatted, and their feet were not idle. The ball was passed back and forth under the feet of the three of them like a needle.

"I know Vlaar, he is really strong, and he came here for the main force." Yang Yang said with a smile.

Vermaelen snorted twice, "I'm not weak at all."

"The new kid on the front line is very Zlatan." Maxwell laughed.

"Who?"

"Nicholas Bendtner, Denmark's high center forward."

"Oh." Yang Yang suddenly realized that Van Gaal went to Portugal to get it done in person, but he just snatched it from Arsenal. "Are you very capable?"

"It's okay. He's only 16 years old. Everyone is very optimistic about him. He directly entered the first team and played many times in the warm-up match. I guess he will be reused this season. His characteristics are a bit similar to Zlatan, but his temper is a bit crazy."

"mad?"

"Yes, shortly after he joined the team, he publicly said that he wanted to challenge your position as the number one star in the team."

"Me? The number one star in the team?" Yang Yang laughed, he didn't know it himself.

"This was privately selected by De Tokmoster's players. It was originally Ryan Babel, but after last season, you are the undisputed No. [-] star. But this kid wants to overthrow you as soon as he comes. You have to work harder. Don't lose to him and embarrass us."

"Go away." Yang Yang laughed, but he found it funny in his heart.

I don't know if this counts as a newborn calf not afraid of tigers?

"The performance of the newly joined Charisteas is not bad. Judging from the Amsterdam Invitational, the tactical role of the high center is quite obvious. Judging from the warm-up match, he and Wesley Songke will be in relatively stable positions."

Wesley Songk is best at scoring, and Ibrahimovic was not a real tactical center last season, but now that Charisteas, who shined in the European Cup, has been introduced, the club definitely wants to transform the striker.

The Greek center is in the center, Wesley Songk is on the left, and Yang Yang is on the right, which is also a matter of course.

The only hidden danger is that Yang Yang failed to participate in the summer training camp, and the cooperation with his teammates is still relatively jerky.

Fortunately, there is still a week before the start of the new season, so take your time.

"How about the vacancy after Raphael left the team?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

Last season, Ajax's three midfielders basically consisted of Van der Vaart partnering with Sneijder, De Jong and Garasek taking turns to play late, but now that Van der Vaart is gone, there is a vacant position in the midfield.

"Pinaer is now the first choice for this position. He and Sneijder still have a tacit understanding. Judging from the performance in the summer, the effect is very good. It should basically be decided like this."

After hearing this, Yang Yang had a preliminary understanding of the team's lineup framework for the new season.

As for the goalkeeper position, Robont performed well last season, but he has already moved to Fiorentina. At present, the team has vigorously promoted the young player Stekelenburg, but for the sake of safety, he specially introduced the 34-year-old veteran Hans Funk from Heerenveen to assist.

This is also impossible. After Ajax has been reorganized, the average age is much younger than in previous seasons.

It is estimated that the average age of this season should be around 21 years old. It is still the youngest team in Europe and needs veterans to take charge.

The left side of the defense must be Maxwell, with Felipe Luis as a substitute. Of course, if Maxwell leaves the team, then Felipe will naturally step up.

On the right side is the competition between Maicon and Grigera. In the middle, Pasanin and Escuder are taken, but Vlaar is introduced. At that time, Heitinga, Vermaelen and Vlaar will compete with each other, plus De Jong and Griguera can both play this position.

Needless to say in the midfield, Yang Yang's right winger position should be considered relatively stable, but it is not particularly safe.

According to the agreement reached between Ajax, Arihan and the Chinese national team, Yang Yang will leave the team to participate in the Asian Youth Championship in September this year.

According to what Team Leader Zhu said before, the national team is very confident about the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the draw is very lucky, and there is no problem in advancing to the quarter-finals. Let Yang Yang concentrate on playing in the Asian Youth Championship and strive to enter the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands next year. He will call Yang Yang to play in the quarter-finals next year.

Therefore, Yang Yang can concentrate on club competitions at that time.

…………

…………

As usual, after running two laps along the Oderkerke Lake, Yang Yang came to the breakfast shop on the corner of the street.

"Hey, why are you back?" The boss was both surprised and happy when he saw Yang Yang.

Yang Yang smiled slightly, "I'm not welcome?"

"How come? We are all waiting for you."

Yang Yang liked to hear this, so he laughed straight away.

"Recently, I have been collecting your news. I cut out the reports and plan to save them. It will be very valuable in the future." After speaking, the boss turned around and took a thick notebook from the back.

Yang Yang took it over and opened it, and there were indeed newspaper clippings reporting him.

"The team left a lot of people in the new season, but the financial situation has basically improved. All of us know that all this is thanks to the outstanding performance of you and several other teammates last season, so we must continue to work hard this season."

Yang Yang doesn't know the owner's name, and he doesn't need to know, because there are too many such fans in Amsterdam, they are everywhere, and he can meet them almost every time he goes out on the street.

Sometimes he thinks that these fanatical fans who always spare no effort to support the team no matter the team's performance is good or bad, whether it is peak or trough, should be the long-term pillar of Ajax's survival.

"Don't worry, I will work hard." Yang Yang took the pen and signed his name on the newspaper clipping.

"Well, the new season is your great opportunity, and I am very optimistic about you."

Yang Yang politely nodded his thanks, brought breakfast, turned and left.

Opposite him, the sun was rising.
