Chapter 244 Challenge [To add more changes for the lord of the shattered ≯ void, please subscribe for a monthly pass]

On the flight back to Amsterdam from Turin, Italy, all of Ajax sat in silence.

No one was willing to speak.

Yang Yang sat in his seat, rarely "sleeping", but no one paid attention to his changes.

He was thinking about the whole game, thinking about his contest with the stars of Juventus, thinking about the mistakes he made in the game, and the opportunities he got.

Two voices kept appearing in his mind.

One is telling him that Zambrotta is the world's top full-back with excellent offense and defense, Nedved is also the world's top star, and Emerson and Tacchinati are also outstanding midfielders. In front of such opponents, at least he didn't behave too badly, which is enough.

"You are just full!"

But there was another voice telling him that he could have done better. He even had a chance to dribble into the penalty area, but he was squeezed away by the Italian full-back during the physical confrontation with Zambrotta, causing the ball to be lost.

If he rushed into the penalty area that time and the speed increased, he was fully confident that he would get a chance to shoot.

What if, what if the ball goes in?
Guilt, self-blame, unwillingness, helplessness...

Many different complex emotions are intertwined, this is Yang Yang's mood at this moment.

Unknowingly, Yang Yang took on more responsibilities for himself, especially on the offensive end.

Maybe it was when the media reporters called him the new standard-bearer for Ajax; or when a group of fans wore his jersey and ran to the perimeter of De Tokmoorster's training ground to cheer him on; or when Van Basten told him that the opportunity appeared; or...

Who knows when?
This is a good thing, which means that his position within the team is constantly improving.

With great power comes great responsibility.

He knew that if he wanted to take over the flag left by Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, then he had to learn to play under this pressure and responsibility, and even overcome them.

And now, Yang Yang also began to feel the mountainous pressure that made it difficult for Van der Vaart to breathe and was overwhelmed.

He didn't know if he could take on this burden, but he was willing to accept the challenge.

…………

…………

The flight arrived at Amsterdam Airport late at night.

As soon as Yang Yang turned on his phone, he immediately received two text messages from China.

"Although you lost the game, you have tried your best, don't be sad."

"I'm secretly telling you good news. My dad has agreed for me to apply for the Chinese Academy of Drama. Thank you for your encouragement!"

After reading the text message, Su Xiaomei's flowery smile appeared in Yang Yang's mind, and that crisp laughter seemed to ring in his ears, which made his originally heavy mood much better.

"I'm fine, don't worry, congratulations on getting what you want."

After sending the text message, he put away his mobile phone, followed the team out of the airport, and got on the bus.

Unexpectedly, I received another reply soon.

"I haven't written my horoscope yet, and I may not be able to pass the Chinese opera exam."

Yang Yang didn't expect that Su Xiaomei couldn't sleep at such a late hour.

Could it be that she has been waiting for her reply?
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely, so he shook his head amusedly.

"It's okay. If you don't pass the exam this year, you can repeat it. If you really don't pass the exam, I will try my best to help you realize your dream. At least let you make a movie and appear on the big screen."

"As you said, I can count on you."

Immediately afterwards, another message came, "Then don't be discouraged, you must continue to play football hard, otherwise how can I have the money to support me to make a movie?"

Seeing that she was serious, Yang Yang couldn't help smiling, but he soon realized that this was Su Xiaomei trying to comfort him.

"Thank you, I feel much better."

"Then smile more, you look handsome when you smile, all the girls in our class say they like to see you smile."

Yang Yang couldn't help laughing again when he saw this sentence.

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm tired and going to bed, and I have class tomorrow, bye."

"Well, go to bed early, good night."

"you too, good night."

Yang Yang put away his mobile phone, and the boredom in his heart eased a lot.

After losing the game, he was convinced, but he still felt very unwilling.

…………

…………

Super training ground.

After the resumption, Yang Yang started training.

But this time he did not conduct basic training and star skills as before, but directly practiced in pairs.

The simulated opponent was Juventus' Zambrotta.

As the world's top full-back, Zambrotta can play both left and right. Although he is a right-footed player and made his debut as a right-back, he actually performed quite well on the left.

With a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 76 kg, he is very proficient in both left and right foot skills. He is fast, has excellent physical fitness, and has strong confrontation ability. He has a very fierce style on the court.

Even Yang Yang felt that he was synonymous with a perfect full-back.

And in the super training ground, Yang Yang practiced against the simulated Zambrotta again and again, and was knocked down by the opponent again and again, and it was always difficult to break through Zambrotta's defense.

But Yang Yang always stood up again and again and re-entered the contest.

At first, Lao Bing didn't deliberately stop him, but gradually, he also found that Yang Yang was venting more than training.

Once he was shoveled by Zambrotta, when Yang Yang stood up again, he found that the light and shadow of the star in front of him had disappeared.

He knew that Lao Bing stopped the mock sparring.

"Do you know why you can't do anything with Zambrotta?" Lao Bing's voice sounded faintly.

Yang Yang sat on the grass without saying a word.

"It's not just you, but countless side assaulters can't do anything about him, do you know why?"

Yang Yang was somewhat curious now, "Why?"

"Because under normal circumstances, he is all-round and has almost no weaknesses."

Yang Yang was silent, he had to admit that what Lao Bing said was right, Zambrotta really had no weaknesses.

"Remember what I told you before, only comprehensive skills can create rich and varied tactics. Zambrotta is like a full-back with no obvious flaws, and Juventus is like a steel army with no obvious flaws."

"Facing such a team and such an opponent, you have only one way to go, and that is to make yourself as comprehensive as your opponent, hide all your weaknesses and weaknesses, fight against your opponent, and see who will expose your weaknesses first."

Yang Yang still didn't speak, but he knew that what Lao Bing said was right.

Juventus is indeed such a team, and in the Netherlands, there is also a team of this type.

Eindhoven under Hiddink's training is like a simplified version of Juventus.

After the national derby, Yang Yang even thought that if he hadn't made a breakthrough from Lee Young-pyo and earned a penalty and a red card from Alex, the final result of that game would have been a disaster for Ajax.

As with the team, so with the players.

Why Ibrahimovic is terrible?
He has excellent physical fitness, height, strength, confrontation, and he has all the advantages of a Nordic high center forward.

But what is even more frightening is that he still has the delicate foot skills that are not lost to the No. [-] player, and his body flexibility is also quite good. All these make him like a technical player with a strong Nordic body, making him more comprehensive.

On the other hand, my basic skills have been replenished, and my ball-stopping skills are no longer a hindrance, but these are still far from enough.

Especially when facing European full-backs like Zambrotta, Yang Yang needs to make himself more comprehensive, which requires higher and more demanding requirements for himself.

He needs to hone his basic skills to be finer and more solid, to polish his ball stop to be more stable, and to make every stop of his foot more comfortable.

He wants to be stronger!
…………

…………

In the morning, Yang Yang still got up early and took Maxwell, Vermaelen, Maicon and others to run three laps around Lake Oderkerke. The whole process lost the cheerful atmosphere of the past and became a little depressing.

After running and having breakfast, Yang Yang went directly to the gym in De Tokmorst

He was still the same as usual, meticulously completing the warm-up before strength training, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Winston Bogard still arrived at the gym on time, and accompanied Yang Yang in the morning strength training one-on-one, asking him a few subtle questions from time to time.

After Yang Yang completed the training programs such as bench press, squats, deadlifts, instant upper arms, and cycling, he took out his carefully prepared nutritional drink and watched Yang Yang pinch his nose and pour it into his stomach. Only then did he complete the task with satisfaction.

But Yang Yang didn't want to leave early as usual today, but asked with concern, "Winston, are you free during the winter break?"

"Winter break?" Bogard was a little surprised.

According to Ajax's arrangement, the team will be on holiday during the winter break until after Christmas, and at the beginning of January, the team will gather again in southern Europe for training during the winter break to prepare for the second half of the season.

During this period of time, the team is on vacation, and the coaching staff and staff are also on vacation except for a few people on duty. Many people even made vacation plans early.

"Do you have any plans?" Yang Yang asked.

Bogarde shook his head, "Not yet, I might stay at home, or go to my friend's gym to help out, you know, my biggest wish is to have my own gym."

"I would like to hire you to continue as my personal trainer, is that okay?"

"Personal trainer?" Bogard was surprised.

"Yes, during the winter break, I want to continue training. I need an experienced coach like you to supervise and guide me. These days, I can pay you according to the payment standards of external personal trainers."

Bogard's salary at Ajax is not high, mainly because of his famous name. Even if it is the salary paid to him as a private trainer outside, it is not a big problem for Yang Yang, let alone only a short ten days.

"Let me think about it." Bogard hesitated.

Yang Yang nodded, "Of course, I'll wait for your news."

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the gym under the watchful eye of Bogarde.

The moment he stepped out of the gym, he suddenly noticed flying catkins floating in the sky.

Snowing!
