Chapter 45 The second star skill
Sitting on a bench in the park, Yang Yang gently stroked the photo in his hand.

In the photo, he is wearing the No. [-] jersey of Almere with a particularly bright smile. Standing next to him is Van Basten in a suit and leather shoes. The Dutch legend put his hand on his outer shoulder kindly, with a broad smile on his face.

The only fly in the ointment is that Yang Yang in the photo looks a little reserved. Although he doesn't pose with scissors hands that are so dusty, his hands give people a feeling that there is nowhere to put them. This can easily remind Yang Yang of the mood when he saw his idol that night.

There is Van Basten's signature on the photo, and the writing is so flamboyant that I can't understand it at all, but I always think it's amazing.

Arroyo helped him mount a layer of film on the outside of the photo for him to cherish.

He really intends to keep this photo as a family heirloom. In the future, no matter whether he can play football well or not, and to what extent he can play, he can take out this photo and show it off to his children and grandchildren. I also saw Van Basten back then.

Ladru and Arroyo sat aside and watched Yang Yang's expression silently. Seeing that he put the photo away with great care and put it in his backpack, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Van Basten is a great legend in world football, and countless people are fascinated by it, even they themselves are no exception.

In the world of professional football, the power of idols is always influencing people from generation to generation.

Maybe people are fans of Van Basten now, but in the future there will be countless people fans of Van der Vaart, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robben and Sneijder, who knows?

"Louis really said that?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

Just now, Ladru has conveyed to Yang Yang the results of the morning sports high-level meeting, and Ajax hopes that he can participate in the talent day selection activities as originally planned.

Of course, in order to avoid Yang Yang’s misunderstanding, Ladru not only mentioned Ajax’s decision to sign him after the Talent Day event, but also mentioned the benefits of participating in the talent day selection. As long as he can perform well, he will have the opportunity to directly enter the second team coached by Van Basten. This is a rare shortcut for him.

Entering the youth training echelon, even if it is a leapfrog, it will take at least one or two years to enter the second team. It is hard to say whether Van Basten will still be there by then. This shortcut is very attractive to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang understood that Van Gaal was the one who knew his mind and knew that he was a fan of Van Basten and Ronaldo, so he pointed out the way for him, and at the same time, he might not have tested him and inspired his thoughts.

It seems that the old man who always rejects people thousands of miles away on the surface may not be as serious and harsh as he appears on the surface.

"That's what he said." Ladru nodded.

Yang Yang hummed, "Okay, you can convey it to Louis for me, and say that I agree with his arrangement."

Ladru and Arroyo were overjoyed after hearing this, which means that Yang Yang decided to enter the youth training camp of Ajax.

"In addition, please convey another word for me, just say congratulations on his appointment as the technical director of Ajax, I believe we will meet again soon, and please convey my thanks to Marco."

At the end, Yang Yang patted his backpack, meaning to thank Van Basten for his signature on the photo.

For him, this is a precious gift.

From the moment he played football, he had heard of Van Basten's name. Over the years, he had dreamed of the two idols of Van Basten and Ronaldo, hoping to have the opportunity to play against them.

Now, Van Basten is hopeless, and Ronaldo is far away in Real Madrid, but if he has the opportunity to play under Van Basten and receive his training, it can be regarded as a fulfillment of his dream for many years.

"Okay, we will definitely convey it to you."

"Thank you."

"If you think it's necessary, we can help you skip the first stage of the test and directly enter the second stage of the group competition during the talent day selection," Ladru suggested.

Yang Yang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, thank you. Now that you've joined, let's follow the rules. I'm with two teammates. I also want to take this opportunity to see if I've made any progress in the past two months."

Ladru and Arroyo looked at each other, and they both showed satisfied expressions, obviously feeling Yang Yang's confidence.

Based on Yang Yang's assessment results in Almere, he can roughly reach the upper middle level in Ajax's talent day selection activities. After all, if there are really good seedlings, they will usually be selected by Ajax's scouts long ago.

But judging from Yang Yang's hard work and his progress in the past few months, it might be possible to create unexpected surprises. If this is the case, it will be good for the two of them who have been recommending Yang Yang.

"Well, I will inform you in advance when the time comes, if you need any help, please give us a call."

…………

…………

After seeing off Ladru and Arroyo, Yang Yang also got up to pack his things and returned to the Chinese restaurant.

Uncle Shen Ming also knows that Yang Yang has always had his own opinions, and now it is indeed a very good choice to join the Ajax youth training camp. Naturally, he fully agrees and encourages Yang Yang to make persistent efforts and strive to play for the Ajax first team.

In this regard, Yang Yang has no detailed plans, after all, he is only 16 years old.

Even for Ajax, which has always been known for its emphasis on youth training and promotion of young players, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to play for the first team at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Even a super genius like Van der Vaart was already 17 years old when he played for the first team. He only played one game in the first season.

And like Ryan Babel, a recognized talented rookie in the youth academy, he has never played for the first team so far.

Therefore, Yang Yang is very self-aware. He knows that the most important thing for him now is not to put his hopes on the first team, but to concentrate on improving his own strength, to gain a firm foothold in the youth team as soon as possible, and it is best to enter the second team of Van Basten.

Having clarified his short-term goals, Yang Yang quickly set his sights on the upcoming talent day selection.

He knows Van Gaal's intentions, and naturally hopes to achieve good results in this activity, so he needs to make up for his shortcomings as soon as possible.

"Can I learn a second star skill?"

When returning home for lunch break, Yang Yang entered the super training ground, and asked Lao Bing with concern in the first sentence.

In the past two or three months, he has been immersing himself in training [Ronaldo's Assault], and most of the time he has been training the pendulum. After mastering this famous stunt of Ronaldo, he began to practice other skills in [Ronaldo's Assault], such as continuously changing direction and pulling the ball.

But now, with his improvement, especially Almere's performance in the amateur competition, Yang Yang has gradually exposed more problems, such as his basic skills, which is his biggest shortcoming.

Even now, Yang Yang still practices juggling every day. No matter where he goes, as long as conditions permit, he will run juggling instead of riding in a car. The purpose is to gain as much time as possible for training.

There is no problem with the ball feeling, but the first stop is still too weak, especially when facing pressing pressure.

The difficulty of stopping the ball in a static state and in a moving state is completely different, and the latter is much more difficult than the former.

Therefore, Lao Bing integrated Yang Yang's basic skills training into all aspects of daily training. For example, in the training of kicking against the wall, there are many sports that have been trained to stop the ball with the first kick, and it is still a dynamic one-kick stop.

But Yang Yang still needs more time to improve his basic skills in the state of exercise, especially in the state of high-intensity pressing and pressing.

This cannot be improved quickly in the short term.

But when playing amateur games, Yang Yang has already clearly felt his bottleneck, and he needs to further improve himself.

"Yes." Lao Bing's faint voice sounded next to his ear, "What do you want to learn?"

"Aiming at my current weak link, do you have any good suggestions?" Yang Yang asked.

"You have many weak links, the first foot stop, passing, crossing, shooting... It seems that except for one-on-one breakthroughs, other aspects are very weak."

"Can you be more tactful?" Yang Yang's face was full of black lines, isn't this too frank and direct?

"I'm only telling the truth."

"Okay." Yang Yang spread his hands helplessly, "Then analyze it for me."

"In terms of stopping the ball, Bergkamp's stopping the ball is very good. In terms of passing, there are also many players with very deep passing skills, which are divided into long passes and short passes. For shooting, it must be Van Basten. There are also many crosses, but Beckham has his own uniqueness in the cross from the right, which can be said to be ranked first."

These links are the big shortcomings exposed by Yang Yang, and they are also the aspects that he needs to work hard to improve in the future.

Bergkamp's ball-stopping is indeed very good, and according to Van Gaal, his ball-stopping and technique are also obtained by training against the wall, but this requires a high level of basic skills. When the basic skills have not yet been improved to a certain level, it is definitely half the effort to train with half the effort.

For Yang Yang, his poor first-foot stop has become his label. After understanding his characteristics, many teammates try to pass the ball in front of him as much as possible and let him chase it. This can avoid his weakness to the greatest extent.

Yang Yang’s daily training time is limited now, a lot of basic training takes up most of the time, and the [Ronaldo Assault] he relies on also needs practice and improvement. At this time, he spends a lot of time on hard training to stop the ball, not to mention getting twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, stopping the ball needs to be practiced sooner or later. The delicate first-foot stop is too important for a professional player to perform on the field.

Passing the ball is not Yang Yang's current first choice. After all, his current position is a breakthrough player on the wing, and he will continue to play this role in Ajax.

As for shooting, I am afraid that it is difficult for Yang Yang to get this authority at present. It may be okay in Almere, but when it comes to Ajax, he still has to start from the role of a winger. It is impossible for the team to give him such a right to fire.

It is said that in Ajax's first team, even Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart do not have such power.

Then there are only a handful of options left.

For Yang Yang, the best way to improve his competitiveness in a short period of time is undoubtedly the cross.
