super storm

Chapter 85

After finishing the training session in the afternoon, Yang Yang immediately returned to Oderkerke's home to pack his things.

The distance from Amsterdam in the Netherlands to Bruges in Belgium is actually only [-] kilometers away, but Ajax still decided to go to the away game one day in advance to concentrate on preparing for tomorrow's focus game.

Since Yang Yang is following the team to an away game for the first time, he still needs to prepare his documents and luggage.

In the evening, everyone gathered in De Tokmorst. After dinner, they took the bus to Bruges.

As for school, the club will ask for leave on his behalf.

Yang Yang didn't need to bring too many things for a one-night stay, but it was his first time traveling with the team. Yang Yang hesitated and decided to call his parents in China and tell them about it.

The evening in the Netherlands is already midnight in China.

After receiving the call from Yang Yang, the parents were also very happy. His father Yang Yongqiang asked about the time of the game with concern. He heard that it would be midnight, but he didn’t hesitate at all. He said that he would definitely watch the game in front of the TV when the time came.

Shen Lifang, the mother, cared more about Yang Yang's life in Amsterdam, and asked him to train hard, but also study hard, and asked him when he could go home. She hadn't seen him for more than a year, and she missed her son.

At the end, Yang Yang could hear his mother sobbing from the phone.

"Mom, I have just joined the team. You know that my foundation is weaker than others, so I need to study harder than others. I will definitely not be able to go back in winter. I will try to go home after the end of next year's season." Yang Yang comforted.

To be honest, he did feel a little homesick.

When Shen Lifang heard that it would take half a year to see her son, Shen Lifang felt sad for a while, but she also knew her son's ambition, so naturally she didn't say much, but encouraged him to work hard, and to ask his uncle for help if he had anything to do.

After making oversea calls for more than ten minutes, Yang Yang made a special call to his uncle to tell him the news.

Shen Ming couldn't help being overjoyed after hearing this, he didn't expect Yang Yang's progress to be so fast.

After finally finishing the phone call, Yang Yang picked up his luggage and went downstairs.

Vermaelen had already returned home, sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at his roommate and best friend with resentment, but his eyes could not hide his envy.

"How unfair you say. I entered the first team earlier than you, but the result is good. You are going to play in the Champions League. I haven't even won the Eredivisie." The Belgian central defender complained.

Yang Yang chuckled, "Okay, I'm just included in the big list, so I may not be able to play. Besides, it will be a matter of time before you are selected. When you played in the Eredivisie, didn't I envy you to death?"

Both are young players, and being able to represent the first team in competitions is undoubtedly a leap forward for them, which means that they are both first team players.

"That's not necessarily the case. If tonight's game can't be won..." Vermaelen didn't finish speaking, shrugging his shoulders, feeling a little helpless.

Everyone knows the importance of this game to Ajax. Once they lose or draw, there is no hope for this season's Champions League.

Of course, if Vigo Celta loses to AC Milan in the away game, then Ajax still has hope, but this kind of pinning hope on others is obviously unacceptable to any team or anyone.

"Frankly speaking, I don't understand why the head coach would arrange for me to be included in such an important game." Yang Yang was a little puzzled, and he was also very puzzled.

It is not difficult to understand entering the first team, even entering the Eredivisie squad, he is also looking forward to it, but playing in the Champions League, especially such an important Champions League game, Yang Yang is really hard to understand.

Out of the 18-member roster, eleven will start, and the remaining seven will all be carefully selected and carefully considered.

Koeman used Yakubu as a rookie before, but Yakubu made serious mistakes in the two group matches, which brought an extremely painful blow to Ajax. Now, he actually puts Yang Yang in the squad. How much risk does this take?

But how does Yang Yang know what the head coach thinks?
"Okay, I was just joking. You, if you play, don't be careless. Van der Heyden is a famous Belgian player. He is impeccable in terms of ability and experience. He is the most powerful player in the Bruges team."

Pete van der Heyden, the main left back of the Belgian national team, is also one of the most important means of attack for Bruges. He is 27 years old this year, and it is the golden age of professional players.

If Yang Yang plays, he will definitely play as a right winger, and the opponent happens to be Van der Heyden's left back.

Although Van der Heyden is not considered a famous European player, he is at least a powerful star who has played in the Bundesliga for many years. His strength must be stronger than all the opponents Yang Yang has encountered before.

As a Belgian, Vermaelen must be aware of this.

"I understand." Yang Yang nodded gratefully.

Just at this time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's urging sound and the Porsche's horn sounded from outside the door.

"Come on, I'll watch the live broadcast at home to cheer you up." Vermaelen walked over and gave Yang Yang a big hug.

"rest assured."

Yang Yang picked up his luggage and went out. Under the envious gaze of Vermaelen, he got into Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Porsche and headed towards De Tokmorst.

…………

…………

Before departure, the first team had dinner at the players' cafeteria in De Tokmoorst.

Yang Yang brought Luther Carroll the documents that the assistant coach asked him to do, and at the same time asked him for a copy of Van der Heyden's game video, for which he specially prepared a USB flash drive.

Luther Carroll had a good impression of Yang Yang, so he naturally agreed.

After dinner, after a short rest, everyone boarded the bus and headed all the way to Bruges, Belgium.

Although it was only [-] kilometers and a two-hour drive, but sitting on the bus and feeling the pressure brought by tomorrow's game, everyone felt that the time was particularly difficult.

Yang Yang chatted with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maxwell with great interest at the beginning, but he soon felt bored, so he simply closed his eyes and entered the super training ground to practice some basic movements seriously, focusing on his left foot.

A few days ago, Van Gaal focused on reminding him of his left foot.

Other people on the bus were either listening to headphones or silently looking at the scenery outside the window. Even if some people were resting with their eyes closed, they were still moving around. After all, in a small space, it would always feel uncomfortable after a long time.

Only Yang Yang kept his eyes closed all the way.

At first everyone thought he was closing his eyes to rest his mind, but seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, they were very puzzled. After careful attention, everyone suddenly realized that this kid had fallen asleep.

This sudden discovery immediately aroused the interest of everyone in the car.

"My God, what time is it, and he can sleep?"

"Zlatan, didn't you always say that you have a big heart? Why? Compare with him?"

"There is no comparison, Zlatan will definitely lose."

"The battle is imminent, and he can sleep so peacefully. This heart is really big enough."

"And this is the first time he entered the first team and entered the squad, and the first time he played away, and it was the Champions League game."

The words "serve" in capital letters appeared on the faces of the teammates, and everyone felt ashamed of Yang Yang's move.

No matter how easy it is for them to fall asleep, at this point in time, on the away bus, they will not be able to fall asleep anyway, let alone sleep so soundly like Yang Yang.

The head coach Ronald Koeman, who was sitting in the front row, also noticed the movement behind, and couldn't help but smile after understanding the situation.

Big heart, good sleep, these are rare good things for professional players.

You must know that many professional players often rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep before some key competitions. Like Yang Yang, he has the advantage of recharging his energy.

"This kid is always unexpected, but he still has this kind of ability." Coman sat back to his seat, shaking his head and laughing.

This is really a skill that many professional players can't ask for.

"I've heard of it before. I heard that he can sleep whenever he wants, but now I've seen it with my own eyes."

The breathing is even and gentle, and the whole person is very relaxed. He must have fallen asleep, and the surrounding movements did not wake him up, so it can be seen that he slept deeply. This is indeed a skill that countless professional players dream of.

Yang Yang is working hard on his left foot in the super training ground. If anything happens outside, Lao Bing will notify him as soon as possible, and he can wake up anytime and anywhere, but right now he doesn’t know that he has become the focus of ridicule and envy from his teammates. He only opened his eyes when the bus stopped at the hotel and Zlatan Ibrahimovic patted him gently.

"Wow, we're here so soon." Yang Yang sat on his seat and stretched.

There was a burst of laughter in the bus.

Is this still fast?

The whole bus is staring at you to sleep, staring at you for two full hours, how difficult the time is, do you know?

You are good, your heart is too big, you sleep like a dead pig, you never wake up, of course you feel fast.

"Yang." Ibrahimovic patted Yang Yang's shoulder with a slight sense of revenge, and gave him a thumbs up. Now he is really dissatisfied.

Ajax booked a park hotel in the southern outskirts of Bruges. The main reason is that it has a relatively strong privacy, and it is not far from the home court of Bruges, so it is very convenient to get in and out.

Because Sneijder's roommate Pienaar was injured before, he was not able to enter the squad for this game, so Yang Yang replaced him and shared the same room with Sneijder.

The others also basically followed the original practice. The two were assigned to the same room. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maxwell had always been partners, and the others were basically old partners, after all, they were familiar with each other.

After receiving the room number, each went back to the room.

After packing his luggage, Yang Yang ran to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's room, borrowed his laptop from the Swedish center, and took advantage of the time before going to bed tonight to study Van der Heyden's opponent.
