Chapter 249 The Blueprint

In the depths of winter, the world seems to have become desolate.

The lush trees turned into bare branches, and the green grass became bleak and desolate.

Even Lake Oderkerke, which is connected to the Amstel Canal by a tributary, is covered with a thin layer of floating ice.

Under the ice layer, the calm lake water can be vaguely seen.

With last year's experience, this year Yang Yang's winter morning exercise has done better in keeping warm.

Going out from home all the way, bouncing the ball, and running quickly on the path by Lake Olkerk, with few people along the way.

Bounced, the football became wet and slippery, and it was difficult to control. This made Yang Yang's training more difficult, but made him more focused. He was afraid that if he accidentally lost the ball, it would be embarrassing.

Today, he is no longer the kid who couldn't play the ball in the Almere youth training camp. He has already reached the point where he can control the ball with ease.

This is also thanks to his unremitting daily hard training over the past year and a half.

Dribbling the ball quickly, running three laps around the lake, my whole body became hot.

When I got home, I happened to see a Fiat arranged by the club parked in front of my house, so I opened the door with a smile and walked in.

The club began to enter the Christmas holiday, and the players basically went home for the holiday.

Vermaelen and Niklas Bendtner also returned to China, and even Maxwell and Maicon also returned to Brazil.

In Europe, this holiday is equivalent to the Chinese New Year, which is particularly important.

Yang Yang had already agreed with his parents that he would have to practice hard by himself when he returned to Christmas anyway, so it would be better to stay in Amsterdam, at least De Tokmoster has all the facilities and equipment.

"Good morning, Winston."

As soon as Yang Yang entered, he smiled and greeted Winston Bogard who was sitting in the living room.

Bogarde looked at the time, nodded and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's quite punctual."

"I'll take a shower first."

"I've prepared breakfast for you and put it on the dining table."

"Thank you."

Yang Yang hurried upstairs to change and wash.

Today is the first day that Winston Bogard officially served as Yang Yang's personal trainer.

After Winston Bogard served as Yang Yang's personal trainer, he was not only responsible for his daily strength training, but also responsible for his three meals a day, in order to better help Yang Yang train his body.

Bogarde's training plan will continue the one he customized for Yang Yang when he was in the team, but it will be adjusted and strengthened in a targeted manner, mainly to adjust his state.

Yang Yang hopes to perform better in the second half, and also hopes to improve his physical strength as soon as possible.

Sometimes, he himself can't tell clearly, is it a psychological effect?Really improved?

Anyway, he feels that after strength training, his speed and flexibility have indeed improved, and his performance on the court is getting better and better, which makes him trust Bogard more in his training.

More importantly, Bogard is Ajax's fitness coach. He holds all the data of Yang Yang, and will also intervene in the team's training in Portugal during the winter break to ensure that Yang Yang's individual training can be closely integrated with the team's overall training.

This is something that private schools outside cannot do.

…………

…………

After breakfast, Yang Yang took Winston Bogard's car to De Tokmost.

After the team returned to Amsterdam from Tokyo, the coaching staff informed Yang Yang and Bogard that during the winter break, Yang Yang was allowed to stay in De Tokmoorster for training, but he must be accompanied by Bogard.

According to the previous agreement between Yang Yang and Bogard, they will be off on Christmas Day and the next day, and the rest of the time will remain the same.

After arriving in De Tokmoster, the two went directly to the gym as usual.

After a period of training, the weight of Yang Yang's bench press was increased to [-] kilograms, and the muscles on his body gradually showed the results of strength training, which made him look no longer so thin.

Yang Yang also firmly believes that as long as he persists in training, he will no longer be afraid of physical confrontation on the court in a short time.

In this kind of one-on-one training, Bogard also instilled all his theoretical knowledge and experience in strength training to Yang Yang without hesitation.

As a fitness coach with a professional background in a prestigious university, Winston Bogard has a wealth of practical experience. He has a very systematic and complete set of ideas on how to train the body.

From muscle structure to body fat to size, from resistance to flexibility to explosive power...

He unreservedly passed on to Yang Yang everything he had learned and understood in the past ten years, because he believed that only by understanding these could Yang Yang be able to train his body better.

It is impossible for a person with little knowledge to carry out his training well.

Yang Yang originally knew nothing about physical training, but after studying with Bogard for several months, he was like a greedy sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge, and at the same time faintly sketched out a blueprint in his mind.

He wanted to have the body of a perfectly balanced football player.

Regarding Yang Yang's thoughts, Bogarde was both happy and helpless.

He was happy because he saw Yang Yang's ambition, but he was helpless because he felt that Yang Yang seemed to think too simply.

"You are absolutely right. A high degree of self-discipline, coupled with scientific training, can indeed delay the career of sports players to the greatest extent. But don't forget that there is no perfect in this world, only the most suitable."

"It's like you, different age groups, different playing styles, different tactical positioning, and different requirements for your body. You need to make fine adjustments based on these."

"But you are right about one thing. Persisting in strength training for a long time can protect your body from injuries to the greatest extent."

What Winston Bogard said was indeed reasonable, but Yang Yang still decided to work hard to strengthen his physical strength training.

He always believed that as long as he practiced his physical strength, his performance would be even better than it is now.

Of course, the training of speed, basic skills and star skills cannot be left behind.

And these trainings will take up all his time.

…………

…………

From morning to evening, Yang Yang has been training in De Tokmoster, and Winston Bogard is also in charge of lunch. He strictly checks the nutrition and balances the nutrition, so as to maximize the effect of Yang Yang's physical training during the winter break.

It wasn't until night fell that Yang Yang received a phone call after dinner, and then he left De Tokmoster.

The caller was Guido Albes, a well-known Dutch broker.

This agent is not well-known in Europe, and he may even go out of the Netherlands. Not many fans know him, but he has extraordinary connections and influence in Dutch football, Belgium, Germany and other neighboring countries.

His players include the De Boer brothers, Sneijder, van der Vaart and Heitinga and others.

Although Yang Yang's agent is Raiola, he has not considered changing his agent for the time being, but on the one hand, it is because of Sneijder and others, and Yang Yang's rising momentum is very obvious now, Guido Albes also intends to make friends with Yang Yang.

God knows, when will Yang Yang get rid of Raiola and find another agent?

Moreover, after many contacts with Yang Yang, Guido Albes is also full of interest in Chinese players.

At the beginning of December, Zheng Zhi, Yang Yang's teammate in the national team, was invited to the Bundesliga powerhouse Hertha Berlin for trial training, but during his trial training, Hertha Berlin introduced players in the same position, which made the possibility of Zheng Zhi staying in the Bundesliga extremely low.

During Zheng Zhi's trial training at Hertha Berlin, he called Yang Yang and told him about the situation.

Yang Yang also saw his helplessness, so he consulted several acquaintances including Albers, and learned that Hertha Berlin was more motivated by the need to develop the Chinese market, not really intending to introduce Zheng Zhi.

Albes took the opportunity to propose that Zheng Zhi could be sent to the newly promoted Bundesliga Mainz for trial training, because Mainz needed a player like Zheng Zhi very much.

Yang Yang knew Albes better, knew that he was favored by many Dutch players, was reliable in his work, and had a good reputation, so he asked Zheng Zhi for his opinion, and the latter decided to stay in Germany for two weeks of trial training.

Now, it happened to be the time for him to return home after the trial training.

When Yang Yang walked out of the gate of De Tokmoster, he saw a black Audi parked outside the door, and Guido Albes and Zheng Zhi were standing beside the car waiting for him.

"Hey, Zheng Zhi, Guyido." Yang Yang walked forward with a smile.

The two of them saw Yang Yang's training clothes, how could they not know that he was taking advantage of the vacation to practice extra training?
Zheng Zhi also admired Yang Yang very much.

Not only his performance on the court, but also his hard work and diligence off the court, and his willingness to help others.

"How is it? What's the result of the trial training in Mainz this time?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

Zheng Zhi and Guido Albes looked at each other and smiled, and nodded in unison.

"Speak, what's going on?" Yang Yang asked anxiously because he didn't know why.

Looking at Yang Yang's anxious expression, Zheng Zhi clearly felt the concern of this national team teammate for him, and he was very grateful. His Bundesliga trial training this time was all due to his help.

"Thank you!" Zheng Zhi didn't answer directly, but walked over and hugged Yang Yang gratefully, "You helped me realize my dream of studying abroad, thank you so much!"

"Ah?" Yang Yang didn't react for a moment.

Guido Albes on the side explained with a smile: "Mainz's head coach Klopp admires Zheng very much. He can play in midfield, back and central defender. He is very comprehensive and is exactly the player Klopp wants."

Yang Yang was delighted when he heard it, "That means..."

"It's done!" Zheng Zhi nodded.

Yang Yang heaved a sigh of relief.

Zheng Zhi is absolutely capable of studying abroad, if he fails to make the trip due to other reasons, that would be the biggest regret.

"Klopp is a very capable head coach who led Mainz to upgrade, and he admires Zheng Zhi's type of player. He clearly told me that if he wants to get him, it should be said that there is basically no problem." Albes laughed.

Yang Yang nodded, "But even so, you can't be careless. After returning to China, you must complete it as soon as possible, and strive to complete the transfer during the winter break. Follow Mainz for winter break training and integrate into the team as soon as possible."

Zheng Zhi and Albert smiled at each other again, feeling that Yang Yang was more anxious than him.

"Thank you." Zheng Zhi said gratefully.
