Chapter 240 The Sinner

"I have always respected the referee, but tonight I have to say that Van Egmond's decision changed the game."

After the game, at the press conference, Hiddink took direct aim at referee Dick van Egmond.

"It was a foul, an undisputed foul. He could have chosen a red card or a penalty, but he chose a red card and a penalty. It was a terrible decision. Since then, we have lost the game."

Hiddink obviously attributed the strength of the game to the referee's penalty. The implication is that PSV suffered a big loss at home, and the referee favored Ajax.

Ronald Koeman quickly refuted, thinking that Van Egmond's penalty was very correct and there was no problem.

"It was undoubtedly a correct penalty. As the last defensive player on the team, when he reached out to grab Yang Yang's jersey, I believe he was mentally prepared for a tactical foul. At that time, he couldn't stop Yang Yang at all."

As for Van Egmond favoring Ajax, Ronald Koeman gave strong evidence.

"We received three yellow cards in the second half. Is this also special care for us?"

What Ronald Koeman meant was very clear. The referee was trying to find a balance in the second half.

Regarding Yang Yang's performance in this game, Ronald Koeman expressed that he was very satisfied.

"I really can't ask for more from him. His performance is completely beyond my expectations. He has become the most important player in the team."

At the same time, Ronald Koeman also said that the most valuable thing about Yang Yang is that "he still has considerable potential to be tapped, and we all think that he will perform better and better in the next long period of time."

Although he is an opponent, Hiddink also said in his subsequent answer that Yang Yang is the most threatening player in the Ajax team.

"I repeatedly told the players before and during the game to pay close attention to Yang Yang, freeze him, and try not to let him participate in Ajax's offense, but unfortunately, my players have tried their best, but still failed to freeze Yang Yang."

Regarding this young player who will soon be full, Hiddink said that Yang Yang has indeed performed quite eye-catching.

"But it is too early to say that he can become the most lethal winger in the Netherlands after Arjen Robben."

The bickering between the two Dutch marshals soon became the focus of reports by the major media in the Netherlands.

Yang Yang, by virtue of scoring twice in the Dutch national derby, successfully attracted the attention of the whole Netherlands and even European football.

From two wins and one draw in August, to two draws and two losses in September and October, and two consecutive losses in the Champions League, to the recent three consecutive victories, Ajax's performance can be described as ups and downs, and Yang Yang's role has gradually been noticed by everyone.

The Dutch Telegraph stated in the report that after Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic left the team, Yang Yang is becoming Ajax's most important player, and he is completely different from the previous two standard bearers.

"Whether it's Zlatan Ibrahimovic or van der Vaart, they've never been known for their hard work in the game."

"The Swedish center's defensive press and range of movement in the frontcourt have always been criticized. Van der Vaart is known for his physical fitness can only last 10 minutes. Although these two players are talented, their performance on the court has not been stable enough."

"But Yang Yang is different from them. Yang Yang's talent seems mediocre, but in fact he always brings surprises to people. For example, the Marseille roundabout in the away game against Lee Young-pyo in Eindhoven, and then another pendulum breakthrough against Cocu."

"Judging from these two outstanding performances, it's not that Yang Yang doesn't have gorgeous foot skills, but he prefers to choose simple and practical technical moves. This is also the obvious difference between him and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and van der Vaart. At the same time, it also causes people to misunderstand that he is mediocre."

"In addition to this point, Yang Yang is known for his diligence on the court. Every time he plays, he will give his best. He has excellent physical fitness, strong running ability, and good tactical execution ability. He represented the national team in three major stadiums in eight days. The long-distance flight of [-] kilometers is enough to prove his excellence in this aspect."

"After returning to Ajax, he quickly contributed key performances in three consecutive games in a consecutive week of double matches."

"According to the news that the reporter got in the Ajax team, in the locker room, Yang Yang is getting more and more support from Ajax players. Everyone thinks that compared with the two previous leader standard bearers, Yang Yang is obviously more in line with everyone's impression of a leader."

In addition to the Dutch Telegraph, the Daily News and the People's Daily also reported on Yang Yang's outstanding performance in the national derby, and spoke highly of Ajax, a rising star.

Far away in Asia, Chinese media also pay attention to the Dutch national derby, which is a direct contest between Chinese and Korean players.

The high-profile Korean media campaign before the game made the Chinese media and fans feel unconvinced. As a result, the two Korean stars did not perform well, and Lee Young-pyo was overwhelmed by Yang Yang in the game.

It can be said that Lee Young-pyo was inseparable from PSV's two goals conceded.

One ebbs and another, the Chinese media and fans frantically reported and praised Yang Yang's performance in the Dutch national derby after the game.

As for the Korean media, Eindhoven lost, Park Ji-sung was invisible, and Lee Young-pyo became the culprit of the team's defeat. They were severely beaten in the face, and they could only accept this sad loss in depression.

The next morning, Yang Yang arrived in De Tokmost an hour earlier as usual.

He came directly to the gym and was doing warm-up exercises skillfully.

After he had completed a whole set of warm-up actions before strength training, Winston Bogarde was long overdue.

"You just kicked Eindhoven last night and flew back to Amsterdam overnight, but how could you wake up so early this morning?" Winston Bogard was surprised when he saw Yang Yang.

Strictly speaking, the two had only been together for a week, but Yang Yang gave him a very special feeling.

The biggest impression is that he is very hardworking and diligent, and he is very focused in training.

"I long to become stronger faster, which gives me unprecedented motivation." Yang Yang said with a smile.

While talking, he had already walked to a Smith bench press machine, ready to start a day of training.

Since he is a novice and has just started training on the bench press, even though he only weighs [-] kilograms, it is still difficult to maintain his balance and he will shake from side to side, so he needs to use the Smith bench press for assistance.

Bogarde walked quickly to Yang Yang's side, watched Yang Yang lie down and grasp the barbell with both hands, using the standard movements he taught to complete the bench press one after another, and nodded silently.

Concentration and diligence make Yang Yang learn very quickly and master the standard movements very well.

However, due to his current age limit, Bogarde will not give him an easy amount, and more slowly help him improve.

This is also Yang Yang's own request. He obviously does not want to change his body shape too much.

Handsome, this is a temptation that any young boy cannot refuse.

Not to mention a young man like Yang Yang.

Bench press training, one set per day, eight reps per set.

After finishing it, Yang Yang took a short rest and then devoted himself to the training of squats, deadlifts and instant upper arms. Like the bench press before, the volume was not large, and the main thing was to master the standard movements, and the training intensity also paid attention to step by step.

Bogard also followed Yang Yang every step of the way. On the one hand, it was to protect his safety, and on the other hand, it was also convenient to guide his movements. At the same time, he also wanted to observe the training situation so that he could make adjustments.

After the whole training program, it took about half an hour. Yang Yang took a short rest and then devoted himself to cycling training.

Bogarde stood aside, silently watching Yang Yang's training, feeling very emotional in his heart.

From the first day he entered Ajax, he had heard of Yang Yang. Everyone said that he was the hardest-working player in the team. Not only was he meticulous in regular training, but he would spare all his time for extra training after training.

According to Yang Yang’s own confession to Bogard, every morning he would run three laps around the Oderkerke lake, and then come to De Tokmoorster. After the morning training class, if he still has time, he would run to the corner of the fence to practice facing the wall by himself.

After the lunch break, he is now swimming. He used to practice alone. After the training session in the afternoon, he will also choose to stay for additional practice, mainly to practice with several players in the team in a designated area.

It is said that this training has greatly improved his ability to stop the ball in the recent period.

After sparring with his teammates, he often stayed alone for additional training, and did not leave until nightfall.

Before, Bogard didn't believe it. He didn't believe that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy could have such willpower, but now, Yang Yang was standing in front of him alive, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

Teaching Yang Yang to train is actually a very easy thing. He only needs to say a lot of things, and Yang Yang can remember them and get started quickly. He only needs to mention some points from the side, and he never needs to worry about whether Yang Yang will discount the training, because Yang Yang always follows the plan meticulously.

After completing the cycling training, Winston Bogard will always hand over a large cup of nutritional drink as soon as possible. After high-intensity training, it is necessary to supplement the body with sufficient nutrition, and now he also needs to further gain weight.

And every time, Yang Yang frowned, pinched his nose, and drank a large cup of nutritional drink in his hand.

"I'm leaving, goodbye, Winston." After the break, Yang Yang would get up and say goodbye.

"See you at noon." Bogard replied lightly.

Apart from training, the two had very little communication on weekdays, which is obviously related to their personalities, especially Bogard, who himself belongs to the kind of doer who does more and talks less.

And every time he saw Yang Yang leave the gym, Bogard seemed to see his progress.

Make progress bit by bit every day and accumulate slowly.
