Chapter 234 Landlubber [Fourth update of vomiting blood, please subscribe monthly pass]

Counting the draw with Utrecht in the third round of the Eredivisie and the [-]-[-] loss to Valencia in the UEFA Super Cup, Ajax has not won for nearly two months.

The [-]-[-] victory over Rhoda JC, even though it was a narrow victory, made all the fans and the club very happy. It greatly washed away the depression of the past period of time and dispelled the dark clouds hanging over their heads.

But everyone knows that the real test is the midweek Champions League.

Maccabi Tel Aviv, Israel is not considered a strong team, but if they fail to pass this hurdle, then Ajax will really be passive in the group rankings, and even if they are not careful, they may be at the bottom of the group.

This is definitely a big shame for the defending champion.

From the head coach Ronald Koeman to the players, no one can really let go of the boulder in his heart.

After Yang Yang finished the game, he came home and went directly to sleep.

After replaying the game against Roda JC with Lao Bing in the super training ground, he conducted a series of basic training and training on three star skills. Soon, it was another day.

He didn't know when he started to get used to this compact and fulfilling life.

Neither Vermaelen nor Maxwell will take part in morning practice today due to the full-court game last night.

Yang Yang went out alone, but saw two people already standing on the opposite side of the road.

Impressively Maicon and Felipe Luis.

"Good morning, Yang."

"Good morning."

Yang Yang saw the two people running over quickly, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

Because of Maxwell's relationship, the two are not strangers to Yang Yang, but they are newcomers after all, and they are full of plans. Yang Yang has spent less than a month with them, so they are not familiar with each other.

When the two came in front of Yang Yang, they were somewhat cautious, especially Felipe Luis.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

Maicon and Felipe Luis looked at each other, and finally Maicon spoke.

"We want to ask, can we let them practice with you in the future?"

"Huh?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.

"What we mean is that from now on, we will accompany you in the morning exercises and afternoon sparring exercises, okay?"

"Of course." How could Yang Yang refuse, he has been looking for a partner, otherwise he wouldn't have to bet with Niklas Bendtner, "But can you please tell me what's going on?"

The two looked at each other again, and it was still up to Maicon to explain.

"My performance in the team was terrible, but none of us wanted to be sent back to Brazil, we wanted to stay at Ajax."

Yang Yang immediately understood that in the final analysis, the professional league is too cruel.

The supply of players in Brazil can be said to be endless. European teams are very attractive to players in Brazil's domestic league. Almost everyone regards landing in the European league as an important step to change their life and family destiny.

But landing in the European League is only the first step, and gaining a firm foothold is the key.

Every year, countless Brazilian players are sent back to the Brazilian league because of their poor performance in the European league. The most famous one recently is Porto's talented striker Alberto.

Alberto has at least performed well in the UEFA Champions League. Maicon and Felipe Luis have yet to prove themselves. If they fail to convince Ajax, they can only be sent back to their country again.

As for when and what month will it be possible to land in the European League again in the future, who knows?
Seeing them, Yang Yang suddenly remembered himself when he played for Almere. How similar was his situation?
"Of course, no problem, I welcome you at any time." Yang Yang laughed.

Seeing that Yang Yang didn't refuse, both Maicon and Felipe Luis became happy and couldn't stop thanking them.

Afterwards, Niklas Bendtner kept his promise and came to Yang Yang's house, and found that he had two more competitors, and he couldn't help becoming vigilant, especially Maicon.

The speed and technique of this right back are good, but the defense is very problematic.

"I used to play as a midfielder, but then I was transformed into a right-back," explained Maicon.

Yang Yang suddenly realized that he was transformed into a defender. Maicon had not been able to play as the main player in Cruzeiro, but Van Gaal and the technical team were able to see him, obviously because his speed and skills were indeed quite good among defenders.

Maicon is 23 years old, and the defense can still be further explored.

"Both of us now have a problem with defense. We both think that the training you added to stop the ball after training should be very helpful for us to strengthen our defense, so we asked you for help." Felipe Luis said embarrassingly.

Yang Yang didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you come, then Maxwell will be liberated."

After a pause, Yang Yang took another careful look at the bodies of Maicon and Felipe Luis, who were similar to him, slightly thinner.

"I think you'd better go to Kluitenberg and talk about strengthening your physical training. After all, defenders are more important in this aspect than attacking players." Yang Yang reminded.

Maicon is 23 years old, and Felipe Luis is also [-] years old. Both of them have relatively thin bodies, which is indeed a disadvantage among defenders, especially in the European League. The body is the capital of the professional league.

Of course, physical strength training is very hard. Whether they can eat or not depends on themselves.

The four of them started from Oderkerke and ran all the way around the Oderkerke Lake, and all of them were bouncing the ball. This is also a unique scenery in the town, but it's a pity that the time is earlier, and the residents of the town will not get up so fast at all, and naturally there are no people watching.

As usual, after running three laps, Yang Yang went to the corner breakfast shop to buy some breakfast.

The shop owner cheerfully showed his newly added newspaper clippings. It is said that all the major media in the Netherlands this morning reported on the game last night. They also praised Yang Yang's performance and believed that he was the key figure in Ajax's victory.

"As soon as you come back, the team wins. Who will dare to say that you are not the core player of the team?" the store owner said proudly. Now he shows off to his relatives and friends every day. Yang Yang goes to his store to buy breakfast every morning.

"Eight days, three races, [-] kilometers, my God, it's unbelievable."

After admiring repeatedly, the shop owner looked at Yang Yang with concern again, "But, Yang, you just finished the game last night, and you ran out to practice again early this morning, can you take it?"

"Don't worry, my body is measured." Yang Yang said with a smile.

Watching Yang Yang pick up his breakfast, turn around and leave, the shop owner squinted his eyes and smiled.

After watching football for so many years, there are fewer and fewer players who work hard like this.

…………

…………

The appointment with Winston Bogarde was nine o'clock.

But in fact, Yang Yang came to the gym on time at 08:30.

At this time, there was no one in the gym, so he did some simple stretching exercises alone to warm up.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Winston Bogarde came to work.

"Unexpectedly, you came earlier than me." When he saw Yang Yang, he was a little surprised.

The team's training time in the morning is ten o'clock. He originally asked Yang Yang to come an hour earlier, and he was already worried that he would be late, but he didn't expect Yang Yang to come earlier than he imagined. It can be seen that Yang Yang really wanted to train his physical strength hard.

But it is not enough to have a heart, you have to have determination and perseverance.

People who haven't practiced can't understand how hard physical strength training is, and it's even more difficult to persevere.

"I have been studying your physical data for the past two days, and I have also been studying with the coaching staff. We all believe that strengthening your physical strength must be targeted, not become clumsy, and maintain flexibility and speed."

Yang Yang nodded, this was also his idea.

"Your current height is just over 1.8 meters, and your weight should be controlled at around 75 kilograms."

Since Yang Yang joined Ajax this year, his body has indeed grown a bit. Now he is a little over 1.8 meters. He is not too short, but he is not too tall. His body is too thin and looks very thin.

"Your training in the gym will be dominated by bench presses, squats, deadlifts and instant upper arms. Both squats and instant upper arms can effectively train your speed and make you sprint faster in competitions."

Yang Yang continued to nod.

In front of Bogard, he can only nod his head, because he really doesn't know anything about strength training.

"Do you know why the world's powerlifting competitions only compare to squats, bench presses and deadlifts?" Bogard asked suddenly.

Yang Yang shook his head, he really didn't know anything about these things.

"The reason is very simple. These three movements can best fully reflect the quality of physical strength. Among them, the squat represents the strength of knee extension, and the deadlift represents the strength of hip extension. These are also the two most powerful parts of the whole body. The bench press can reflect the strength level of your entire upper body. These three items can fully reflect how strong your whole body is."

When Yang Yang heard this, he somewhat understood.

These three major items train three different areas of the human body. Anyone who wants to exert the strength of the body needs all three areas. That's why these three items are so valued.

If these three items can be practiced well, I believe that not only the physical strength will be improved, but also the speed and shooting power will be greatly improved, which is also very necessary for Yang Yang.

"In addition to several trainings in the gym, I also need you to cooperate with a set of back and forth running on the outdoor stairs. When the time is right, I will have sandbags prepared and let you train with sandbags, but there is one more training that must be done."

"what?"

"swim."

"Ah?" Yang Yang frowned.

"Swimming is a very good sport. It can improve the flexibility of the human body and enhance muscle strength. Therefore, I ask you to go to the swimming pool for training every day."

Winston Bogard tailored a complete set of training plans for Yang Yang, which was exhaustive and detailed, and each item was arranged in a well-founded and well-organized manner, and all of them were trainings that could be carried out by De Tok Mostri, including swimming.

De Tokmost has a swimming pool for players to train, but...

"I can't swim yet." Yang Yang said awkwardly.

Although he was born in a seaside city, he has never learned to swim since he was a child, and he has never had the opportunity to learn swimming since he came to the Netherlands, so...

He's a total landlubber.
