Winger King

At the moment when Sun Yu scored, everyone related to Ajax cheered.

The head coach of the Volendam team put his hands on his hips and subconsciously looked up at the sky because he was too frustrated.

There were less than ten minutes left before the end of the game. Whether it was substitutions or tactical changes, time was very tight.

The Volendam players patiently played two regular routines, while the Ajax youth team players strictly implemented man-to-man defense in the frontcourt and used chain defense in the middle and backcourt.

This tactic sounds a bit strange. To put it bluntly, it does not give the opponent space to pass the ball vertically.

You can pass horizontally and prevent the opponent from passing the ball vertically.

In this way, the opponent will encounter the same problem in every position when holding the ball.

In the 86th minute, the Volendam team took a risky pass and was quickly counterattacked by the Ajax youth team.

Center forward Baker held off the central defender who was half a head taller than him in the frontcourt and kept the ball under his feet.

Seeing Sun Yu cut diagonally to the middle, Baker immediately passed the ball, and Sun Yu passed the ball to Riedwald on the right without stopping the ball.

Riedewald brought the ball to a position parallel to the penalty area, and then sent a straight pass forward.

Muric, who got the ball, passed it into the penalty area, and Baker kicked it on the central defender.

Baker and the ostrich midfielder rushed out of the penalty area together and blocked the opponent with their bodies.

It can be seen that his vision and passing ability are very average, but the strength of this buddy is durability.

After he got the ball, the defensive players couldn't get it down no matter what.

The Ajax youth team was not in a hurry to launch an attack, and they continued to pass and cooperate around the 30-meter area of ​​the Volendam team.

Sun Yu finally ended this attack. After completing a series of passes, he failed to shoot from the far corner on the left side of the penalty area and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

After the shot missed, Sun Yu smiled and shook his head.

It's really hard to run...

In the first two games, the Ajax youth team established the victory early, and Sun Yu was replaced by Stam around 70 minutes.

But both sides played very closely in this game, and Stam still kept Sun Yu on the field.

In theory, the nature of Ajax U21 is still a youth team, and the head coach should consider giving all players playing time.

However, after Ajax Youth Team participated in the Dutch Eredivisie, different requirements were put forward for both the head coach and the players.

Although the club has no hard indicators for the performance of the youth team, there are still requirements.

After the Ajax Youth Team only won the 14th place in the Dutch Eredivisie last season, the head coach was dismissed immediately after the season ended, and the team also underwent a major change.

In the case that the competition system does not allow the first team and the youth team to be in the same league, the Ajax Youth Team has no requirements for upgrading, and the results must not be bad.

Ajax invests more than 10 million euros in youth training every season. In the case of selling the main players every season, the youth team is responsible for training players for the first team.

Whether it is youth training players or semi-finished product processing, there are results after investing in the game.

Once there are no players in the youth team, the first team will invest more costs to acquire semi-finished players who meet the requirements of the first team.

Even though teams like Ajax keep using young players, the competition environment for young players is still very cruel.

Seeing that the game has come to the 88th minute, the Volendam players had to play long passes, and they were eager to equalize the score.

The Ajax youth team retreated eight players to the vicinity of the penalty area, leaving only three players in the midfield and frontcourt to deal with the opponent.

There is a very intriguing phenomenon in football matches. Once the score gap cannot be widened, the last moment is often the lagging side surrounding the leading side to attack.

Even if the leading side is stronger, it is not immune to this.

According to Sun Yu's understanding, retreating at the last moment after leading is actually a relatively safe tactic.

In professional games, if the strength gap between the two teams is not huge, once one side defends at the cost of giving up victory, it is actually difficult for the other side to win.

The Volendam players rushed to attack, while the Ajax youth team players tried to let time pass as much as possible.

With everyone's joint efforts, the Ajax youth team finally maintained the advantage until the end of the game.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the Future Stadium instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

On the court, Sun Yu high-fived and hugged every teammate with a smile, and even Stam, who was always calm and composed, rarely walked into the court and shook hands with every player.

After the first three rounds of the Dutch Eredivisie, Ajax Youth Team won all three games and scored nine points.

The team scored ten goals and conceded three goals, ranking first with a goal difference of eight..

Among the 20 teams in the Eredivisie, the only teams that have won all three games are Nijmegen and Roda JC, which were just relegated from the Eredivisie last season.

With such a record at the bottom, Stam's coaching ability will definitely be recognized by the club.

In terms of players, Sun Yu scored 7 goals in three games and sent 1 assist, which is a well-deserved killer on the road to the team's three consecutive victories.

He proved himself to be a top player in the Eredivisie with just three games.

After such a game, the most happy are the home fans.

"Our boys performed well!"

"This is a very strong team!"

"Three consecutive wins! I think some of the kids will be able to play in the first team soon!"

"......"

On the way to thank the fans with Sun Yu and his teammates, the home fans gave loud cheers.

[Results of the game are settled! 】

[Participation points: 50]

[Data points: 150]

[Winning points: 100]

[Total points: 300]

[Points balance: 300]

Seeing the system's settlement points, Sun Yu's smile became even brighter.

The competition mode is really cool. Although the points for each game are not many, it has the effect of gathering sand into a tower.

The most important thing is that you can increase an attribute in a targeted manner.

Moreover, Ajax U21 is only the lowest-level one-star team.

If this data is placed in the Ajax first team, it will be much cooler.

Ajax is a three-star club. Participation can get 150 points, hat tricks can get 450 points, and victory can get 300 points, a total of 900 points.

It is three times that of the Ajax youth team!

If you join a five-star team in the future, such data can directly get 1,700 points!

The future is really beautiful!

Just thinking about it, Sun Yu can't help smiling.

Of course, playing in a high-level team is good, but the premise is to get a stable chance to play.

If you join a big club for a high salary, it is meaningless to train but not play in the game.

The sports life of professional players is very precious and must not be wasted.

Sun Yu is not very eager to play for a big club now. His current goal is to be down-to-earth.

First, play through the Dutch Eredivisie, and then go to the Eredivisie to meet Depay and Wijnaldum.

Even if he has set short-term goals for his career strictly according to the timeline, he still has to play one game at a time and improve his ability little by little.

Even if there are teams from the top five leagues who want to introduce him in the winter transfer window, Sun Yu will refuse without hesitation.

Now is not the best time for him to "come out".

If he leaves the team in the winter window, he may have to spend the second half of the season competing for the main position.

If he fails to achieve any results in the second half of the season, the Golden Boy Award will be completely cold.

If Sun Yu wants to surpass the talented players of this era, he must at least appear in a team of Ajax's level in the second half of the season.

And he must have trophies, statistics, and a famous battle.

Otherwise, the new season will not start until August, and October or November is the deadline for the Golden Boy Award candidate list.

This means that there is only a maximum of three months of performance time in the new season. It is basically impossible to reverse the reputation with this time.

After the game, Sun Yu soaked in the ice bucket in the locker room with his tired body.

In less than two minutes, he hurried out of the ice bucket.

This thing is too humid. Although it can relieve fatigue, moisture is not good for the body.

I don’t know when the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy cabin will be in place.

Daddy is handling this matter personally, and it’s not good for Sun Yu to ask.

After all, they pay for it, and Sun Yu can’t lick his face to urge progress.

At the same time, Stam was arguing with reporters at the press conference.

"Mr. Yap, congratulations to your team for winning three consecutive games at home this season despite falling behind by two goals..."

The reporter was interrupted by Stam with a smile before he finished speaking.

Stam smiled and said, "Since you are a reporter from Youth Sports, we can skip the small talk and start with 'but'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire press conference burst into laughter.

Youth Sports supports Eindhoven in terms of the team's position, so even if the reporter praised the Ajax youth team, there was still a "but".

The reporter remained calm and immediately replied, "This summer, a total of 11 players from the Ajax youth team left the team."

"Although the team's performance is very excellent, but only 15 of the 24 players on the roster have ever had a chance to play. "

"With the transfer policy of the Ajax youth team in the past two seasons, the remaining players are likely to leave the team after the season, right?"

This question sounds like nothing wrong, but it is actually very vicious.

As the head coach of the team, Stam must face this problem directly. If he fails to deal with it well, there may be trouble.

If Stam says that the season has just begun and that he will give players opportunities in the future, then the media and the players who have not been given a chance to play will continue to pay attention to this matter.

Once Stam breaks his promise, the locker room will definitely explode.

Don't think that those young players are afraid of Stam now and dare not rebel.

Verbal promises are a very sensitive matter. Don't think that it will pass after just saying it.

Once the players feel that they have been deceived, they will definitely try their best to harm Stam.

But if Stam reveals the cruel reality now, those players will probably start to become disunited in a few days.

Stam sneered, then looked into the eyes of the reporter and said, "This is a stupid question. I have some doubts about the significance of answering this question. ”

“When a team participates in a professional league, no matter when, the results are an issue that cannot be ignored. ”

“If a young man wants to become a professional player, he needs to use the standards of a professional player from the age of 19. ”

“The training level and salary level of the Ajax youth team have reached the level of the Dutch second division. Every player should learn to prove himself with hard work. ”

“In this team, the hardest-working player is Sun Yu. He is the first to arrive at the training ground every day and the last to leave. ”

“He scored 7 goals in three games. Hard work will definitely pay off. ”

“He once went through a very difficult period in the team, but now he has become the best player in the youth team. ”

“Of course, as a youth team, we will give all players equal opportunities, provided that the players are ready. "

Stam's answer was still ruthless, but it convinced all the youth team players.

More than a month ago, the entire youth team knew what Sun Yu was like.

What about now?

He has become the offensive core of the team. Judging from the first three games, he is probably the best left winger in the Dutch second division.

The second reporter immediately asked: "From the data of the first three games, Sun Yu got 22 shooting opportunities, accounting for 46% of the Ajax youth team, which is obviously too high. "

"Although he has performed very well so far, if he is focused on or performs poorly in the game, it will have a great impact on the team's performance. "

"Have you made a plan for this?"

Stam said to the microphone expressionlessly: "All excellent attackers have one characteristic. As long as they are given enough opportunities, they will score goals. "

"If your understanding of football is not so superficial, you can find that Sun Yu is actually targeted in every game. "

"If a player is targeted by the opponent, he will not perform well. Such a player can hardly be called an excellent player. "

"Finally, our current offensive method is the result of training and competition, and it is the choice of the whole team."

......

At the dinner table, Sun Yu learned from his father that the liquid nitrogen freezing therapy chamber has been installed.

This is really what you want!

Hearing this news, Sun Yu suddenly felt refreshed.

Dad Sun said at the dinner table that the therapy chamber is convenient for him to run.

Dad Sun is 49 years old this year. He has more than 20 years of long-distance running experience. He participates in marathons every year. His best result was 2 hours and 36 minutes, and now he can run 2 hours and 48 minutes.

Dad Sun criticized Sun Ming again at the dinner table, enumerating Sun Ming's half-hearted hobbies, and said that he would have to hone his willpower if he wanted to take over in the future.

Sun Ming could only lower his head. Nodding his head, he said he would start training with his father tomorrow.

Sun Ming’s father said that Sun Ming couldn’t run with him at that level, so he should practice on his own.

Sun Yu never participated in their conversations.

But when the father and son’s conversation changed from family business to long-distance running, and then to football, Sun Yu became a professional.

Tomorrow Ajax will play the Dutch derby away from home against Eindhoven, which is a match that the whole Netherlands will pay attention to.

As a senior football fan, Sun’s father said that it would be difficult for Ajax to win, and it would be more pragmatic to seek a draw.

Sun Ming wanted to argue with Sun’s father, but he didn’t dare to say it because of the other party’s majesty, so he could only ask Sun Yu.

Sun Yu said that if Ajax could get one point, it would be a victory.The advantage is mainly in the Dutch Eredivisie, where no team can limit Depay.

Although Sun Yu didn't know the score of this game, in his opinion, PSV Eindhoven had already crushed Ajax in terms of lineup alone.

The next night, when Sun Yu got home, the game had just entered the second half.

Ajax led by one goal away from home, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed in the second half, and Depay equalized the score with his personal ability.

PSV Eindhoven's morale was greatly boosted, and they scored two goals in the next game, and finally won the Dutch derby 3-1.

This defeat put Ajax on the cusp again, and the team's performance in the second half was simply a crisp defeat.

Seeing the game screen, Sun Yu suddenly had an idea: If the team has been stable, maybe it will be difficult for me to get a chance.

On the other hand, maybe the opportunity will come soon!
