43 Uncle and uncle
Open your eyes, it's a new day.
Yang Yang lay on the single bed, and the sunlight through the thin curtains from the window next to him brought light to the dimly lit room.
Almere ended up losing yesterday's match, but Yang Yang won.
A brilliant goal that got him to everyone's attention.
The final score was 3-1, and with Almere's players unable to resist, Ajax scored three goals in the second half, but none of them had much to do with Babbel, two of which came after he was substituted.
Tom Demul, Amrabat and Maduro scored one goal each, showing the quality of the Ajax players.
Although he is still a little unwilling to the final result, Yang Yang also knows that there is a huge gap in strength between Almere and Ajax, and it is enough to surprise people to be able to hold on to the first half and steal a goal.
Perhaps considering the large number of fans on the scene, the Ajax academy executives, including Van Basten, had already left the stadium early when the overall situation of the game had been decided, but it was not over, which made many Almere players regret their bowels after the game, and only Yang Yang smiled from ear to ear.
Fortunately, he couldn't wait to meet Van Basten before the game, shook hands and took a group photo.
Ajax scout Fred Arroyo said that when the photo was washed out, he would ask Van Basten to sign it before sending it to Yang Yang, which made him look forward to it and decided that it must be framed and hung on the wall at that time.
When he got home, took a shower, and went to bed, he entered the super training ground to review with Lao Bing.
It's been his routine for the past two or three months, and every review has benefited him a lot, and he firmly believes that this slow accumulation will definitely bring great benefits to his football career.
One of the key points of last night's review is to analyze Yang Yang's continuous change of direction to pull the ball past Fermaren, Yang Yang himself feels that he has done a good job, but Lao Bing is not particularly satisfied, and thinks that this success is somewhat coincidental.
"That Belgian has at least the middle of the Eredivisie, or even the bottom of the Eredivisie, and you can get past him thanks to a bit of surprise and a little bit of luck."
Lao Bing's words made Yang Yang still feel surprised when he thought about it now.
The amateur tournament is a competition that only players under the age of 18 can participate in, and Thomas Vermaelen should be between the ages of seventeen or eighteen, and he already has the defensive level from the middle of the Eredivisie to the bottom of the Eredivisie, this guy has a bright future.
But looking back on the game, he also had to admit that it was really difficult for him to take advantage of Fermaelen, that guy was not tall and not strong, but he was very difficult, explosive, flexible, and excellent grappling ability, and it was definitely a nightmare to be targeted by him.
But thinking about it again, Yang Yang couldn't help but feel a small sense of accomplishment.
To be able to score a goal from a player like that is something to be proud of, isn't it?
But it's more about fighting spirit.
Fermaelen doesn't look much bigger than him, but his strength is so much stronger, which makes Yang Yang have to remind himself again that he must continue to work hard and improve his strength as soon as possible.
It's getting closer and closer to Ajax's Talent Day selection event.
"Starting today, in addition to the daily training program, add one more training program." Lao Bing said lightly.
"Really? That's great! Yang Yang asked happily.
plus the project, which means that Lao Bing has recognized his progress.
Of course, the training against the wall still has to continue, but because he is getting more and more proficient, the same training program now takes far less time than at the beginning, so it does not need to take more time to add some new projects.
What's more, Yang Yang has been improving.
"Bring the logo plate and start practicing the most basic movements of your feet from today to pluck, pull, push, pick and buckle."
Today's Yang Yang is no longer the same as he was a few months ago, he has not only gained a lot through practice, but also competed with opponents on the field, and even faced defensive players like Vermaelen with the strength of the middle and upper reaches of the Dutch Second League, and his understanding is naturally deeper.
He knows very well that any seemingly cumbersome and complex technical action, to put it bluntly, is composed of some of the most basic movements, just like Ronaldo's continuous change of direction to pull the ball, if you separate each action, you will find that it is actually very simple, and the same is true for pendulum passers.
And Lao Bing asked Yang Yang to use the logo plate to practice the basic movements of pulling, pushing, picking, and buckle, the purpose of which is naturally to further improve Yang Yang's mastery of [Ronaldo's Assault], as well as the practical use on the playing field, to exert greater power.
"Okay." Yang Yang agreed without hesitation, "When will I be able to raise the level of the player who defends me to another level?" ”
In the past month or so, Yang Yang has improved a lot of self-improvement, but the defensive players who accompany him are still at the third-level level, which makes him a little dissatisfied, especially after seeing Fermaelen's strength.
"It's not time yet." Lao Bing unceremoniously refused.
Yang Yang pursed his lips helplessly, but he believed that he would be back soon on this day.

"Hey, why is it so early today?"
When Yang Yang went downstairs to eat morning and evening, he was just in time for his uncle to go out to buy vegetables.
"After breakfast, go to the park to practice." Yang Yang replied with a smile.
"It's a good thing to practice diligently, but don't be too tired, now is the time for you to grow your body, you only played a game last night, just rest at home today, and I'll give you a good meal at noon." Uncle Shen Ming laughed.
Today's Yang Yang is like a living sign of Shen Ji Chinese restaurant, not only the players of the Almere youth team like to come, but many citizens also come here, the restaurant business is more popular than before, I don't know how much, even the bleak lunch on weekdays has begun to become busy, Shen Ming has a headache in his heart.
And what makes him happiest is his nephew's progress, not only has Almere agreed, but even teams like PSV Eindhoven and Ajax favor him, maybe one day he will really become a professional player in the Eredivisie, then his uncle will also be stained.
Shen Ming is now treating this nephew better than his own daughter, so he is thinking about recruiting a few more people, so that Yang Yang can concentrate on playing football and no longer need to come to the restaurant to help.
"Don't worry, uncle, I know my own body, after a good night's sleep, last night's fatigue has been swept away, I am now a dragon and a tiger, I want to vent well." Yang Yang joked with a smile.
"Dragon spirit and tiger fierce? Vent? As soon as Shen Ming heard this, he looked at his nephew carefully, and there seemed to be signs of a beard on his upper lip and chin, "It seems that you have grown up, and it is time to make up for it." ”
"Huh?" Yang Yang didn't understand, what did it mean?
"Uncle Hui will give you a carefully prepared bullwhip stewed duck, let's remember the best nourishing product."
Cattle...... Whip...... Duck stew...... What the heck?
Yang Yang didn't know how to feel it, but he felt hairy all over, how could he think that what his uncle said today was a little difficult to understand?
"Ahem, you're almost seventeen, you're eighteen years old, you should also consider getting a girlfriend, you can't just think about practicing and playing all day long, people say that heaven and heaven, uncle on earth, your parents are not around, and you still have to worry about your uncle in this regard."
Yang Yang smiled bitterly, is this getting farther and farther away?
Just now we were talking about practice, and we went to that nourishing best, and now we're talking about girlfriends......
Uncle, your brain circuit is spinning too fast, isn't it? I can't keep up.
Thirty-six plans to go first, uncle, you take it slowly, I'll go first.
So, Yang Yangfei also ran away, leaving his uncle Shen Ming alone behind him and shaking his head and sighing.
Young people of this year...... Cough......
However, I played a whole game last night, and I got up early this morning to train, so I worked hard, and my nephew really didn't have to say that it had been raining down for the past few months.
If such a child can't kick out, then Shen Ming can only say that God is unfair.

While Yang Yang was training in front of the walls and markers in the skatepark, more than 20 kilometers away in the new city southeast of Amsterdam, Ajax's training base Detokmost, finally ushered in a new technical director.
Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, who has made a name for himself throughout European football, has officially decided to return.
This is Van Gaal's first return as technical director and the entire training base takes it seriously.
The club's president, Michael van Praag, was accompanied by head coach Ronald Koeman, youth team coach Van Basten, two Academy assistants, Luther Carroll and Patrick Laderu, and chief scout Tony Browns Slotz, among others.
All the core management of Detokmoste were present to greet them, and after a pleasant greeting at the door, the chairman and the new technical director were welcomed into the conference room for the first Ajax high-level meeting of the new season.
The main content of the meeting was to introduce the progress of Ajax's transfer, Van der Meyde and Zivu have already decided to leave, and they will bring Ajax 30 million euros, which is a huge amount of money in the Eredivisie.
However, Ajax have no way to use the money to bring in reinforcements, as many young players in the first team are waiting for the club's contract extension and salary increase, which is the price Ajax will pay if they retain the player.
In terms of signings, Ajax have only finalised Julian Escude, the French centre-back, and they do not need to pay any transfer fee for him as his contract with Rennes has expired.
But on the other hand, the player is being paid much more than he did during his time at Rennes, which is the price Ajax paid for him.
The 23-year-old French centre-back is also a professional winner, having moved to Rennes on a free transfer after a season in Cannes four years ago after a season in Ligue 2, where he was promoted from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 for three seasons before moving on a free transfer to European powerhouse Ajax in the Eredivisie.
In just a few years, he can be described as step by step, and every step is very stable.
For such a player, Ajax is very relieved because Escud knows very well what he wants, he will give his best in every game at Ajax, and he will work very hard in every training session.
To put it bluntly, Ajax is just a step up his ladder to continue to rise.
The next step is the big four leagues, that's for sure, but what team he can go to depends on his performance at Ajax.
At this point, the interests of the team and the players are aligned.
After talking about Escuud, Van Gaal suddenly realized that the next topic was actually a person he knew.
Yang Yang.
