Chapter 251 The fourth star skill [3800 monthly ticket plus update, please subscribe monthly ticket]

Entering January, Ajax regrouped, and the team went south again to escape the cold.

The winter break training location is still arranged in the small town of Lagos, Portugal, and the hotel is still the same hotel as last year.

The only difference is that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who sat together to fight against the landlord last year, is gone, and has gradually gained a foothold in the first team. Vermaelen, who played the main role, has become another member of the Iron Triangle.

However, Yang Yang basically does not play cards, giving up his position to Heitinga or Sneijder.

He is also facing the pressure of going to school this year. Although his parents didn't say anything, Yang Yang can guess in his heart that they still hope that he can continue to go to school. In addition, Yang Yang himself has the idea of ​​continuing to study, so he also took the opportunity to work hard.

Anyway, during the training camp, everyone was in the same room, and he couldn't sleep directly, so he might as well use it to study homework.

In addition to studying, Yang Yang also chats with domestic friends through the Internet.

The one who chatted the most was Su Xiaomei, who was also under a lot of pressure now.

Although Su Wenhong and his wife have agreed to let her take the Chinese opera exam, it is not an easy thing to get into the Chinese opera, and it is not easy to get in just by looking good, and more is needed, so she has been working very hard recently, and is still rehearsing a drama.

On the one hand, Wei Zheng was helping Yang Yang's father, Yang Yongqiang, with the company's affairs, and on the other hand, he fulfilled what he said before, signing two major endorsement contracts for Yang Yang before the Chinese New Year, each worth eight figures.

Yang Yang can earn at least 5000 million a year from domestic commercial endorsements alone. Coupled with Nike's sponsorship contract and Yang Yang's salary at Ajax, his annual income is quite good.

Wei Zheng also revealed that there are still many companies and brands in China that are interested in cooperating with Yang Yang, but considering Yang Yang's inexhaustible instructions, he strictly checks and is still negotiating.

Teammate Zheng Zhi of the national team successfully transferred to Mainz in the Bundesliga when the transfer market opened during the winter break in January.

The specific transfer fee has not been disclosed, but Zheng Zhi persuaded domestic clubs to let him go, and he also transferred some of his benefits.

Mainz's young head coach Klopp is very satisfied with Zheng Zhi's joining, and believes that he can greatly enhance Mainz's competitiveness. He also said that the team's introduction of Zheng Zhi is not because of the Chinese market, but purely on a competitive level.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising.

Mainz is just a newly promoted company. How can it have the ability to develop the Chinese market?

Zhao Junzhe also completed the transfer before the winter break and went to the Celtics of the Soviet Super League.

This Soviet Super League team was originally considered between two players, one is the Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura who plays for Reggina, and the other is Zhao Junzhe who plays for China.

After several twists and turns, plus Regina's reluctance to let Shunsuke Nakamura go during the winter break, the Celtics finally chose the younger and cheaper Zhao Junzhe.

In this way, the entire central axis of the Chinese national team is controlled by foreign nationals, Yang Yang in the frontcourt, Shao Jiayi and Zhao Junzhe in the midfield, and Zheng Zhi in the backcourt, which also makes domestic fans even more full of expectations.

Everyone believes that this national team is indeed capable of rushing out of Asia and into the World Cup again.

And the one who gave them the strongest confidence was Yang Yang.

…………

During the Lagos training camp, Ajax focused on tactical drills.

Among them, in addition to practicing the four-three-three formation that the team is good at, Ronald Koeman also trained another set of play.

The goalkeeper position is basically dominated by young player Stekelenburg, with veteran Hans Funk as an important substitute.

On the defensive line, Maxwell on the left occupies the main force. There is no suspense. Felipe Luiz is still young and it is still difficult to challenge Maxwell's position. Vermaelen and Heitinga serve as central defenders.

Maicon on the right side relied on his recovery in the second half of the first half, especially the tacit cooperation with Yang Yang on the offensive end, and gradually returned to the main position, especially after returning to the team after the Christmas holiday.

The difference between the two lineups is the midfield.

One of the sets is to control the offense, with Garasek or De Jong as the delay, Pienaar and Sneijder in the middle, and the frontcourt tridents are Wesley Songk, Charisteas and Yang Yang.

This is also the main lineup of the team in the first half of the season. Basically, as long as no personnel are absent, this is the way of play.

But another style of play is also four-three-three, but the position has changed.

Garasek and De Jong served as double midfielders, Sneijder was in the middle, and he alone provoked the organization and passing of the midfield.

Pienaar is on the left side of the frontcourt, Charisteas is in the center, and Yang Yang is still playing on the right side.

Judging from this style of play alone, the latter lineup is more inclined to defend and counterattack.

Ronald Koeman mentioned in his introduction that the main reason is that the team performed unsatisfactorily in the first half of the Champions League, especially the defensive end, which made the coaching staff feel that it is necessary to strengthen the team's midfield defense.

That being said, the players in the team are still discussing the coaching staff's intentions.

Everyone is faintly aware of the coaches' dissatisfaction with Wesley Songk, especially in terms of scoring efficiency.

As the scorer with the greatest tactical support, Wesley Sonke's scoring efficiency is far inferior to Yang Yang's. This is absolutely unreasonable, and the Belgian striker seems to be increasingly lacking in confidence.

Regardless of his performance on the court or his training off the court, Wesley Songk gradually gave people a feeling of losing confidence. He lost his keen sense of scoring goals on the court and was unable to create threats.

The latter set of tactics is obviously to tilt the offensive score to the right, focusing on supporting Yang Yang.

Now no one doubts Yang Yang's strength, and no one doubts his status in the team. Everyone believes that he is the most important player of Ajax, and it is logical for the coaching staff to arrange it this way.

The only thing that makes people more worried is, can Yang Yang be able to shoulder this heavy burden?
Van der Vaart and Wesley Songk were all overwhelmed by the heavy pressure. Will Yang Yang be the next one?
After all, he is much younger than the two of them.

Yang Yang didn't pay too much attention to the speculation from inside and outside the team.

During the training camp in Portugal, he has been training hard all the time, insisting on training in the morning and evening every day, and dare not relax in the slightest.

Whether it was Van Gaal's previous remarks or Ronald Koeman's arrangement, it was like an incentive for him, prompting him to work harder and improve himself more diligently.

Only by making himself stronger can he have enough strength to provoke this burden.

At the same time, Ajax's technical team is also actively looking for suitable candidates in the transfer market, mainly wanting to further strengthen the team's midfield.

"Galasek is 32 years old. Although he still performed well this season, what is his age?"

In Yang Yang's room, Beston Maxwell was sharing the news he found with Yang Yang and others.

"Maduro and Lindgren have both played as substitutes in the first team this season. Among them, Maduro's performance is still good, but it is still not reassuring. The club intends to introduce another young midfielder with good strength."

"Is there any specific goal?" De Jong asked with concern.

Maxwell nodded, "One of them is Demi Dezeuu, a midfielder of the Going Eagles in the Dutch second division."

"Dezeu?" Everyone shook their heads, obviously not knowing him well.

Yang Yang frowned and thought for a while, "I seem to have heard of him somewhere, and he performed well, both offensive and defensive."

Soon, Yang Yang remembered that he had mentioned this player when he was having dinner at Van Gaal's house. He heard that Alkmaar also liked him, and the price was not expensive.

But these Yang Yang will definitely not reveal the things about Van Gaal.

"In addition to Dezeu, the club has also taken a fancy to another player, Tymoshchuk who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine. This 25-year-old defensive midfielder is just in the golden age of his competitive career. He is very strong, but the price should not be cheap. It is said that the team also specially arranged for scouts to track him in Ukraine."

Shakhtar Donetsk is also a strong team in Ukraine, but their performance has declined in the past few years and they have not been able to participate in the Champions League. In terms of momentum and prestige, they are definitely not as loud as the veteran giants Ajax, but the Ukrainian teams are very rich.

To dig such a player, Ajax must show sincerity, but what the Eredivisie team lacks most now is money.

"Another option is to dig internally. Maduro has been included in the list of key cultivation in the second half of the season. In addition, the Belgian teenager Jan Vertonghen may also be promoted to the first team."

Maduro is a highly acclaimed rookie in the Ajax youth academy. He is hailed by many as Rijkaard II, but this is just a reputation. His performance in the first team is still not stable enough, and there is no way to shake the position of De Jong and Garasek for the time being.

As for Belgian player Vertonghen, he is versatile in the backcourt and can play multiple positions. After joining Ajax in [-], he has been in the youth training camp, but he played in the youth echelon before. It was not until Yang Yang and Vermaelen were transferred to the first team that he was selected into the second team by Van Basten.

Yang Yang is not familiar with Vertonghen, but this is also normal.

In the Ajax youth academy, there are countless rookies from all over the world. How could he know all of them?

But through the series of operations of Ajax, as well as the previous reminders of Van Basten and Van Gaal, Yang Yang clearly realized that his opportunity had indeed come.

What he needs to do most now is to show his best performance to convince all the coaching staff and technical team, including Ronald Koeman, to convince them that he is capable of taking on the club's offensive responsibilities.

That night, after his teammates went back to their rooms to rest, Yang Yang also entered the super training ground.

When he saw Lao Bing, his first words were...

"I think it is necessary for me to start learning the fourth star skill."

"Why?" Lao Bing asked lightly.

"I want to improve my shooting ability." Yang Yang said firmly.
