Chapter 224 Suffering

Due to time constraints, the national team could only help Yang Yang buy a flight to Amsterdam on the morning of the [-]th.

After arriving in the Netherlands, he will rest for two hours before connecting to Kuwait from Amsterdam.

According to the itinerary, even if the plane is not delayed, it will take at least the morning of the [-]th to arrive in Kuwait.

The match between China and Kuwait was held on the evening of the [-]th.

It can be said that this is really a long and arduous journey to the West.

Leader Zhu has always been kind to Yang Yang, and he kept apologizing on the phone, hoping that he can understand the current difficulties of the national team and the Football Association, and don't hold grudges. At the same time, he also hopes that he can take the time to rest on the plane.

Yang Yang also said that he has no problem.

On the contrary, the domestic media and many netizens are very dissatisfied with the urgent recruitment of Yang Yang by the Football Association. They think that since it is necessary to be recruited, it should be done earlier. Why should it be delayed until the end?
According to media reports, it is said that Ali Han did not hesitate to force him to resign, and finally made the Football Association make up its mind to recruit Yang Yang into the team.

There is nothing new under the sun. The reason why the Football Association was reluctant to recruit Yang Yang was soon exposed by the media, and everyone once again attacked the Football Association, causing the Football Association, whose trust has fallen to the bottom, to suffer another blow.

After a [-]-hour trek, arriving in the morning and playing in the evening, how much state can you play?
It also worries everyone.

In the words of Maopu netizens, there is absolutely no problem with Yang Yang's strength. The problem is those pig teammates who prevent him from showing his strength.

Yang Yang was not aware of the support from domestic fans. As soon as he boarded the plane, he put on the blindfold and entered the super training ground.

Year after year, Yang Yang's training program at the super training ground has not changed much. It is still basic training and star skills, but on the day before the game, he will simulate the opponent for the next game to practice.

The purpose of doing this is to be able to better familiarize yourself with your opponents and allow yourself to enter the game faster.

Facts have proved that this kind of pair training really helped him a lot.

But this time, due to the lack of information collected by the national team on Kuwaiti players, Yang Yang failed to get more detailed information, only some video highlights of the game, and the opponent was not too strong, so Yang Yang did not arrange too long for a duel.

In addition to basic training and practicing star skills, Yang Yang also mentioned another problem he encountered recently.

That is the improvement of physical strength.

There is no way to directly improve physical strength training in the super training ground. This can only be done by Yang Yang himself in real life. Ajax has professional physical fitness coaches and fitness coaches, but because of his young age, Yang Yang did not do much training in this area.

But now he has felt the bottleneck.

"The physical fitness of Asian players is generally much worse than that of European players. I already felt this problem during the Asian Cup. Later, when I returned to Ajax, I also discussed it with the coaching staff, but I didn't have time to get a good solution."

Yang Yang said that he was quite troubled.

Since entering the first team last season, he has hardly any rest time.

Needless to say, in the second half of the continuous multi-line battle, I flew to Toulon immediately after the Champions League final, and returned to China after the Toulon Cup to maintain my state and prepare for the Asian Cup.

After finally finishing the Asian Cup, Yang Yang had to fly back to Amsterdam, and the new season started again.

Then came the European Super Cup, the Asian Youth Championship and now the World Cup Asian qualifiers.

Looking back and thinking about it, Yang Yang found that he had really played a lot of games in the past year.

If it weren't for the deep sleep function of the super training ground, which would allow his body to recover faster, he wouldn't be able to bear it at all.

Of course, compared to European competitions, the Toulon Cup, Asian Cup and Asian Youth Championship are not high-intensity competitions.

But Yang Yang also felt his inadequacy in physical and strength confrontation.

"If my body and strength confrontation can go up, I am sure to perform better and better than now."

Yang Yang really has a personal experience.

For example, sometimes, he dribbled the ball alone, made a breakthrough with the ball continuously, and after he was free, he found that he had no strength to shoot.

Sometimes it is when the opponent's close marking and physical confrontation occur, the technical movements are out of shape.

There were also several times when he felt that his shots were not strong enough, so that he couldn't score even though he had a good chance.

The Ajax coaching staff's reply to this is normal, because he is only 17 years old, and at the same time he is also strengthening his physical strength appropriately, but he has never come up with a better targeted plan.

After all, the coaching staff is one person against the whole team. What Yang Yang really considers is whether it is necessary to hire a personal coach himself?
"According to scientific research, it is very critical to shape the body of a professional player in the few years until the age of 23, and even affect the subsequent long-term development and recovery from injuries, but the premise is to be able to accurately target your technical characteristics and playing style. In this regard, I think Ajax will be more professional."

Lao Bing still helped Yang Yang analyze in a cold tone.

Ajax does have incomparably rich experience in training players, not just in technique, but also in physical strength, even down to muscle distribution and so on.

In fact, according to the technical characteristics and playing habits of players, training certain muscles in a targeted manner can indeed reduce injuries, which is already a consensus.

For a professional player, the body is the core foundation.

Yang Yang understood what Lao Bing meant. As a professional player, instead of blindly going outside to find a personal trainer, he might as well go directly to the coach of the Ajax team, or ask the club to arrange a set of tailor-made physical strengthening training for him.

"Physical strength is a long-term training, even throughout your entire career, and you must be prepared to endure hardships. The more you want to tap your own potential, the more hardships you have to suffer." Lao Bing reminded.

Yang Yang understands that he has also seen many players in Ajax who are very resistant to strength training, but they just can't bear the hardship.

This is like losing weight. All fat people know the importance of losing weight, but there are only a handful of people who can really grit their teeth and persist. This requires strong willpower and self-control.

This is already the case with ordinary weight loss. Professional players need stronger willpower and self-control to strengthen their physical strength.

And if you persist for a long time, if you relax a little, you will immediately fall short.

Yang Yang thought for a while, then nodded resolutely and said, "I believe, I can endure this hardship!"

Even the most difficult stage of basic training has survived, what else can't he suffer?
Of course, physical strength training is no easier than basic training, and it can even be said to be more difficult.

…………

During the plane's stay at Amsterdam International Airport, Yang Yang turned on his mobile phone and received several text messages from Ali Han and Team Leader Zhu, all asking whether he could arrive in Kuwait on time.

According to the usual practice, the team should report the 18-man roster one day in advance. The starting lineup in the game can only be selected from the 18-man roster and cannot be changed. Now it is obviously time for Kuwait to submit the roster.

Yang Yang specially called Team Leader Zhu and told him that he had arrived in Amsterdam, but due to the delay of the plane, it was estimated that he would arrive in Kuwait later than expected.

"You help me tell the coach that I am ready and I can play anytime as long as I can catch up with the game."

Although the domestic football association and the league are very chaotic, it has nothing to do with Yang Yang. He is responsible for the jersey and the red flag on his chest when he wears the national team jersey.

As long as the team needs it, he is willing to do his best.

Leader Zhu was also very moved by this, and said that he would definitely convey it, and at the same time hoped that Yang Yang would not be under too much pressure. After all, this time it was indeed the problem of the national team and the Football Association itself, which caused Yang Yang to travel long distances and fight in a hurry.

While in Amsterdam, Yang Yang looked for several Dutch newspapers to learn about the situation while eating.

Ajax is not doing well recently, and Yang Yang has learned some information from the Internet, but the current situation seems to be beyond Yang Yang's expectations. He did not expect the team to lose [-]-[-] to Bayern Munich in the away game.

This defeat was too miserable, it could even be said to be a big defeat.

Yang Yang immediately called Vermaelen. The latter has not entered the Belgian national team yet, so he has no match assignments. As soon as he received Yang Yang's call, he drove from Oderkerke to the airport to have an interview with Yang Yang.

"The current situation of the team is indeed miserable. Many media have begun to call for Ronald Koeman to leave get out of class. Maicon has also been bombarded by the outside world. The whole person is about to collapse. There are also me and Vlaar. We are also under great pressure."

From the expression on Vermaelen's face, Yang Yang could feel the pressure and self-blame in his heart at this moment.

No player likes to lose, and neither does Vermaelen. Everyone feels guilty and blamed for making mistakes and causing the team to lose or draw.

Of course, the cruelty of the professional league is that only the victors have justice.

The media and fans never pay attention to and pity the losers.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm going to the Middle East to play a game and I'll be right back." Yang Yang patted his roommate on the shoulder and comforted him.

"We've all been waiting for you to come back. The period of time you've been away has been like a nightmare." Vermaelen shook his head.

They all knew that Yang Yang was very important before, but they never knew that he was so important.

Without Yang Yang, the team's right side couldn't open the game at all. De Moore and others performed well in the youth team, but they couldn't play at all in the first team, and it was difficult to create a threat in the game.

Wesley Songk, who performed well last season, is also sluggish this season. The newly joined Charisteas is a player with great tactical effects but poor scoring ability, which makes it difficult for Ajax's entire frontcourt offense to play a threat.

The frontcourt offense is unfavorable, the backcourt defense is weak, and the team is so precarious.

"Don't worry, it will pass soon!" Yang Yang comforted his teammates.
