231 Landlubber [vomiting blood for the fourth shift, begging for a monthly pass]
Including the Eredivisie draw in the third round of the Eredivisie and the 2-1 defeat to Valencia in the UEFA Super Cup, Ajax has not won for almost two months.
The 1-0 victory over Roda JC was a narrow victory, but it still made the fans and the club very happy, greatly washed away the depression of the past period, and dispelled the dark clouds hanging overhead.
But everyone knows that the real test will be the Champions League in midweek.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is not a strong team, but if it can't cross this hurdle, then Ajax will really be passive in the group standings, and even a careless one may be at the bottom of the group.
This is an absolute shame for the defending champions.
From head coach Ronald Koeman to the players, no one in the team can really let go of their hearts.
After Yang Yang finished the game, he returned home and went straight to sleep.
After reviewing the game against Roda JC with Lao Bing in the super training ground, a series of basic training and three star skills were trained, and soon, it was a new day.
I don't know when he got used to this compact and fulfilling life.
Since the full game was played last night, neither Vermaelen nor Maxwell will participate in the morning exercise today.
Yang Yang went out alone, but saw two people standing on the side of the road opposite.
It was McCone and Felipe Luis.
"Good morning, Yang."
"Good morning."
Yang Yang saw the two running over quickly, and immediately greeted them with a smile.
Because of Maxwell's relationship, the two are not strangers to Yang Yang, but in the end, they are new to each other, and Yang Yang has been with them for less than a month, and they are not familiar with each other.
When the two came to Yang Yang, they were still a little restrained, especially Felipe Luis.
"Is there something wrong?" Yang Yang asked curiously.
McCone and Felipe Luis looked at each other, and finally McCone spoke.
"We want to ask, can we let them practice with you in the future?"
"Huh?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.
"What we mean is that in the future, we will accompany you in the morning exercise and afternoon sparring, okay?"
"Absolutely." How could Yang Yang refuse, he has been looking for a sparring partner, otherwise he wouldn't have to bet with Niklas Bendtner, "But can you please tell me what's going on?" ”
The two looked at each other again, and it was again up to McCone to explain.
'My performance in the team was too poor but none of us wanted to be sent back to Brazil, we wanted to stay at Ajax.
Yang Yang suddenly understood, in the final analysis, the professional league was too cruel.
Brazil's supply of players is endless, and European teams are a huge attraction for players in Brazil's domestic league, with almost everyone seeing landing in the Europa League as an important step in changing their lives and families' fortunes.
But landing in the Europa League is only the first step, and gaining a firm foothold is the key.
Every year, countless Brazilian players are sent back to the Brazilian league because of their poor performance in the European League, and the most famous one recently is the talented striker Alberto of Porto, although he performed well in the Champions League final, but he will not play in the main team in the new season, and he will still be sent back to Brazil.
Alberto has at least done well in the Champions League, while McCone and Felipe Luiz have yet to prove themselves, and if they fail to convince Ajax, they will have to be sent back again.
As for when and when it will be possible to land in the Europa League again, who knows?
Seeing them, Yang Yang suddenly remembered himself when he played for Almere, how similar was the situation?
"Of course, no problem, I'm always welcome." Yang Yang said with a smile.
Seeing that Yang Yang did not refuse, McConn and Felipe Luis were both happy and couldn't stop thanking them.
Subsequently, Niklas Bendtner also came to Yang Yang's house as promised, and found that he had two more competitors, and he couldn't help but be vigilant, especially McConn.
The right wing-back has good pace and technique, but defence is a problem.
'I used to play as a midfielder, but then I was transformed into a right wing-back. McConn explained.
Yang Yang suddenly realized that he was transformed into a defender, and McCone has not been able to play the main team in Cruzeiro, but Van Gaal and the technical team can look at him, obviously because his speed and technique are indeed quite good in the defender.
McCone is twenty-three years old, and the defense can still dig further.
"The problem for both of us now is defense, and we both think that the training that you put on after training should be very helpful for us to strengthen our defense, so that's why we asked you for help." Felipe Luis said embarrassedly.
Yang Yang didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you come, then Maxwell will be liberated." ”
After a pause, Yang Yang took a closer look at the figures of McCone and Felipe Luis, which were similar to himself and slightly thin.
'I think it's better for you to go to Kluitenberg and work on your body, because defenders are more important than attacking players in this area. Yang Yang reminded.
McCone is twenty-three years old, Felipe Luis is also nineteen, and both of them are relatively thin, which is indeed a disadvantage among defenders, especially in the European League, the body is based on the capital of the professional league.
Of course, physical strength training is very hard, and whether they can eat it or not depends on themselves.

The four of them set off from Odekerk, running all the way around Odekerk Lake, and they were all juggling the ball, which is also a unique scenery in the town, but unfortunately the time was earlier, and the residents of the town would not get up so quickly at all, so naturally no one watched.
As usual, after running three laps, Yang Yang went to the breakfast shop on the corner to buy a few breakfasts.
The owner of the shop happily showed off his new newspaper clippings, which are said to be the major Dutch media reports on last night's match this morning, and they are also full of praise for Yang Yang's performance, believing that he is the key figure in Ajax's victory.
"As soon as you come back, the team wins, and who will dare to say that you are not a core player of the team in the future?" The shopkeeper said proudly that he now shows off to his relatives and friends every day, and Yang Yang goes to his store every morning to buy breakfast.
"Eight days, three races, 20,000 kilometres, oh my God, it's unbelievable."
After repeated praises, the shopkeeper looked at Yang Yang with concern, "But, Yang, you just finished the game last night, and you ran out early this morning to practice, can you afford it?" ”
"Don't worry, my body is measured." Yang Yang said with a smile.
Seeing the back of Yang Yang picking up breakfast and turning to leave, the shopkeeper squinted and smiled.
After watching the game for so many years, there are fewer and fewer players who are so diligent and hardworking.

The appointment with Winston Bogard was nine o'clock.
But in fact, Yang Yang came to the gym on time at half past eight.
At this time, there was no one in the gym, so he did some simple stretching exercises inside alone to warm up.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Winston Bogard came to work.
"I didn't expect you to come earlier than me." When he saw Yang Yang, he was a little surprised.
The team's morning training time was ten o'clock, and he originally asked Yang Yang to come an hour earlier, but he was already worried that he would be late, but he didn't expect Yang Yang to come earlier than he imagined, which shows that Yang Yang really wants to practice his physical strength.
But it is not enough to have a heart, you have to have determination and perseverance.
How hard physical strength training is, people who have not practiced it cannot understand, and what is even more difficult is perseverance.
"I've been studying your stats for the past two days, and I've been working with the coaching staff, and we all think that strengthening your body has to be targeted, not clumsy, and flexible and fast."
Yang Yang nodded, this was also his idea.
"Your current height is in your early eights, and it is best to control your weight at about 75 kilograms."
In the year since Yang Yang joined Ajax, his body has indeed grown a little, and now he is in his early eights, which is not too short, but not too tall, but his body is too thin and looks thin.
"Your training in the gym will be based on bench presses, squats, deadlifts and instant upper arms, which can be effective in training your speed and allowing you to sprint faster in the competition."
Yang Yang continued to nod.
In front of Bogard, he only had to nod his head constantly, because he really didn't know anything about strength training.
"Do you know why the world's powerlifting competitions are only compared to squats, bench presses and deadlifts?" Bogard asked suddenly.
Yang Yang shook his head, he really didn't know anything about this.
"The reason is very simple, these three movements are the most comprehensive reflection of the strength of the body, among which the squat represents the strength of the knee extension, the deadlift represents the strength of the hip, which are also the two most powerful parts of the body, and the bench press can reflect the strength level of your entire upper body, these three can fully reflect how strong your whole body strength is."
When Yang Yang heard this, he somewhat understood.
These three major items train three different areas of the human body, and if any person wants to exert the strength of the body, the three areas are indispensable, so these three major items will be so valued.
If you can practice these three major items well, I believe that not only the physical strength confrontation will be improved, but also the speed and shooting strength can be greatly improved, which is also very necessary for Yang Yang.
"In addition to a few in-gym workouts, I'll need you to do a switchback run on the stairs outside, and when the time is right, I'll have sandbags ready for you to strap on for training, but there's one more workout that needs to be done."
"What?"
"Swimming."
"Huh?" Yang Yang's brows furrowed.
"Swimming is a very good sport that improves the flexibility of the body and strengthens the muscles, so I ask you to go to the swimming pool every day to train."
Winston Bogard has created a complete training plan for Yang Yang, which is very detailed and detailed, and each one is arranged in a well-reasoned and well-organized manner, and it is all training that De Tokmostri can do, including swimming.
Detokmoste has a swimming pool for players to train, but it's just ......
"I don't know how to swim yet." Yang Yang said embarrassedly.
Although he was born in a seaside city, he never learned to swim since he was a child, and he has never had the opportunity to learn it since he came to the Netherlands, so he ......
He's a landlubber through and through.
