Chapter 382 Yang Yang's Natural Enemy

On December 27th, after Christmas, we ushered in the No.17 round of the Eredivisie.

Ajax ushered in Groningen at home.

In the No.209 minute of the first half, Yang Yang scored a goal for Ajax.

After changing sides and fighting again, Ajax played a round of aggressive attacks, scoring four goals in a row in the opening 15 minutes.

Sneijder ushered in a full-scale explosion, with three assists, respectively helping Yaya Toure, Charisteas and Pienaar to score goals, and he also received an assist from Yang Yang in 6 minutes and scored a goal.

In the end, Ajax beat Groningen [-]-[-] at home.

In this round, Eindhoven beat Nijmegen [-]-[-] away, and Feyenoord beat Alkmaar [-]-[-] at home.

…………

…………

On December 18th, the No.[-] round of the Eredivisie.

Ajax away to Heerenveen.

In the opening 10 minutes, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough on the right to create a corner kick, and Sneijder assisted Heitinga with a header to score.

Subsequently, Ajax continued to control the situation on the field.

No.40 In the second minute, an assist from Yaya Toure allowed Yang Yang to score!

After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, it was Yaya Toure who ferried the header from the front of the penalty area in the opening 4 minutes. Yang Yang then inserted the goal and scored another victory for Ajax.

But after 10 minutes, Heerenveen scored twice, Huntelaar scoring the first of them.

In the No.807 minute, Sneijder assisted Heitinga again with a header, still a corner kick.

In the end, Ajax defeated Heerenveen [-]-[-] away.

Yang Yang scored twice and scored his No.20 second goal of the season.

Eighteen league rounds, 22 goals, Yang Yang's performance is obviously higher than last season.

But Huntelaar also scored [-] goals in the first [-] rounds, just behind Yang Yang.

This round also ushered in the outbreak of Dirk, staged a hat-trick and scored the No.14 goal.

As for Aviladze, after scoring consecutive goals at the beginning, he soon ushered in a trough, and has only scored [-] goals so far.

…………

…………

After the end of the [-]th round of the league, the Eredivisie ushered in a two-week winter break.

Ajax still went south to Portugal for training as in previous years, but Yang Yang asked for two days off during the period to go out to participate in Nike's World Cup commercial shooting.

At the same time, other Nike stars also participated in the filming, which gave Yang Yang the opportunity to meet a few more friends.

During the winter break, Raiola also received good news one after another.

After half a month of negotiations, Raiola finally negotiated the endorsement contract for Armani. Yang Yang will serve as one of Armani's global advertising spokespersons in the next three years, alongside Shevchenko and other top stars.

And this endorsement contract will bring Yang Yang an annual income of 300 million euros, which is enough to show that Armani is optimistic about the Chinese market, but both parties have agreed to keep it secret to the outside world, and did not disclose the specific amount.

After signing Armani, Raiola showed his long-sleeved and good at dancing, and soon signed three endorsement contracts for Yang Yang's Head & Shoulders shampoo, Coca-Cola and McDonald's.

Each endorsement fee is 300 million euros per year, but the specific endorsement fee is still kept secret.

No matter it was Armani, Head & Shoulders, Coca-Cola and McDonald's, they were all in a rush to advertise during the summer World Cup, especially China, which had once again entered the World Cup finals. Therefore, Yang Yang specially took two days off to fly to Italy to shoot Armani's commercials, and then concentrated on staying in Portugal to prepare for the competition.

After the team completed a week and a half of training in Portugal and returned to Amsterdam, Head & Shoulders, Coca-Cola and McDonald's specially arranged personnel to shoot commercials in Amsterdam.

Basically, it is very simple, the fastest is McDonald's, one-time, it can be done in less than an hour.

But the money will arrive in installments one after another!

Including Nike's endorsement, there are five endorsement contracts in total, worth 500 million euros per year.

This is definitely an astronomical figure that Yang Yang dare not imagine.

With this large sum of money, he can almost be said to be lying at home, with no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life.

…………

Dusk, Almere, exit 6 of the A[-] motorway.

A Fiat slowly drove off the highway, all the way north, passed through the Motor City and the villa area, and came to the skateboard park.

After parking the car in the parking lot on the side of the road, Yang Yang stepped into the skate park.

Haven't been back for a long time, and it's getting a little bit here.

I heard that the city government intends to turn this place into a tourist attraction, especially the skateboard area in the middle.

The wall was still there, and still looked dilapidated.

Yang Yang stepped forward, stretched out his hand and stroked the bumpy cracks on the wall lightly, each one was full of his memories.

Three years ago, he made up his mind here that he must play in the professional league.

At that time, he never thought about what would happen to him in the future. He just simply liked playing football and wanted to prove to everyone that he could also play football.

For him at the time, Ajax was already an unreachable paradise. Every player who played for Ajax could be called a superstar in the world, and just hearing the name made him excited for a long time.

He also clearly remembers being really excited the first time he passed the Amsterdam Arena.

At that time, his biggest dream was to one day be able to play a game in such a magnificent stadium and have more than 5 fans cheer for him.

But now, the cheers from the [-] fans in the stands seemed to make him numb.

Every game he received countless cheers from the fans in the stands, they would scream his name, they would boil over his every move, they would go crazy for every goal he scored.

Yang Yang slowly touched every crack and pothole on the wall, then slowly retreated to the bench and sat down.

This is the place where Van Gaal sits most often. Every time he sits here, silently watching Yang Yang train.

And at this moment, sitting here, he seems to have seen himself when he practiced against the wall back then.

He wanted to get back the feeling he had back then.

……

"Why are you coming back here?"

In the super training ground, Lao Bing asked Yang Yang lightly.

Yang Yang smiled lightly and shook his head, "I don't know, I just... want to come back and have a look."

"It's that simple?" Lao Bing didn't believe it.

Yang Yang shook his head again, of course it's not that simple.

After a long time, he spoke softly.

"I was knocked out by the 500 million euros."

It's not that Yang Yang has never seen money, but he really has never seen money coming in so quickly.

Fifteen million euros would cost more than 500 million yuan. How many days has it been?
Sign a few words, shoot a few advertisements, and the money will come, just like a dream.

"You know, I have never been a person who pursues material life very much, and I have no habit of squandering. This money is enough for me to live comfortably all my life, but playing football is such a hard thing..."

Yang Yang felt that he needed to think about it.

Lao Bing didn't speak either, because no one could help him with this matter, only himself.

Fifteen million euros, this is indeed an astronomical sum, enough for ordinary people to squander their lives.

When anyone suddenly acquires such a fortune, it is inevitable that they will feel slack.

This is human nature.

But this is the natural enemy of professional players.

Yang Yang believes that there are countless seniors who, when they have not been tempted, must also be ambitious and want to make themselves the most outstanding players in the world through hard work.

But the vast majority of people were pulled down by many temptations on the way to the top of the pyramid.

They may be more talented than Ronaldo, their strength may be better than Zidane, they may even be more handsome than Beckham, but in the end, it is Ronaldo, Zidane and Beckham who can stand at the top of the pyramid.

The road to success as a professional player is a road full of all kinds of temptations.

Hard work is just the most basic thing. If you want to succeed, you need to make yourself stronger and more determined.

Yang Yang was originally full of confidence in himself, and his goal was very firm.

But in the recent period, he asked for leave to shoot commercials, met many people and things, signed several contracts, and got astronomical sums that he would spend his entire life. He found that he was beginning to waver.

There is a person in the subconscious telling him that he can actually relax a little bit, so that he doesn't have to work so hard.

This is definitely not a good sign.

Absolutely not!

What Florentino said is absolutely right. Modern professional football makes players less pure, and attracts more and more professional players. This requires Yang Yang to be vigilant all the time.

……

In winter, it gets dark quickly.

It's getting colder in the park.

Yang Yang was sitting on the bench all the time, motionless, as if he was asleep.

No one would go out in this kind of weather, and there was no sound or movement around him. His whole body seemed to blend into the surrounding environment and into the darkness.

Suddenly, the street lights in the park came on.

The sudden bright light made Yang Yang open his eyes, and he stood up from the bench.

Walking to the mottled and dilapidated wall again, he gently stroked the cracks and potholes on it, and he exhaled heavily again.

This is not a war that will end overnight.

This war will run through his entire career, and as long as he has not retired for a day, he will continue to fight it to the end.

This is also a war that belongs to him alone, and no one can help him.

Only by defeating it can he have the opportunity to climb higher and go further.

If he loses, he will be the same as many Fang Zhongyongs in the past, and become the object of everyone's regret forever.

He can't afford to lose!

Therefore, he must win!
"Old Bing, I didn't realize until now that too much money came too fast, and it's also a very painful thing." Yang Yang said teasingly to himself.

In the super training ground, I couldn't see Lao Bing's expression at this time. I don't know if he understands this humor and whether he can laugh.

But his next sentence reflected his dissatisfaction with the pen holder.

"Hurry up and go back to practice!"

Yang Yang didn't think he was disobedient, instead he walked out of the skate park with a laugh.
