"Isn't it? Are you going to run to the gym to work? ”

"Oh God, you must have a bad brain, that place is a nightmare."

"Please, Yang Yang, you are a speed player, flexibility is your advantage, strength will make you clumsy."

"Winston Bogard, he's a devil, do you know how horrible it is?"

……

When Yang Yang returned to the players' lounge, his teammates had already received the news and surrounded him one by one, urging him not to be so cruel to him, in their opinion, the gym was simply hell on earth.

However, it is also normal, the average age of the Ajax players is only in their early twenties, there is not much strength training, and the gym is so hard, under normal circumstances, except for the training sessions arranged by the manager and the recovery from injuries, no one usually goes there.

So, for a long time in the past, Ajax didn't even have a dedicated fitness coach.

Ronald Koeman should also be aware of this, so he has specifically strengthened this aspect, and believes that the next step will be to increase the training in terms of physical fitness and strengthen the physical strength of Ajax players, especially in the midfield.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the central defender, height is an objective factor, and there is no way to change it, but the strength confrontation can be strengthened.

Defending the ball is a disadvantage for Ajax all along, and strengthening the physical strength of the central defenders can make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

"Bogard looks very powerful, but I feel like he is a very academic person." Yang Yang clarified.

This was indeed his first impression of Bogard, who spoke and acted in a very organized manner and had a very clear purpose.

"Trust me, buddy, no one is going to like that place, you'd better not go." Maxwell persuaded.

The Brazilian personality is indeed excellent, and the work ethic is not to be mentioned, but it is somewhat unmotivated and somewhat easy-going.

Of course, as a friend, Maxwell is definitely the one worth associating.

"I know, but I really feel like I can work on that."

As he spoke, Yang Yang patted his shoulder and stretched out his hands for his teammates to take a good look at.

It's not that he doesn't have muscles, he has been playing for so long, he definitely has muscles, but the whole person looks thin.

"Since the end of last season, the opponent has been strengthening my marking, this season I started to start, they will even arrange a special person to defend me, and they know that my physical strength is not good, so they will fight hard in close quarters and eat me."

When Yang Yang spoke, his expression was also very serious, not like he was joking at all, and what he said was also the truth.

It can be said that once Yang Yang is targeted, he can only keep running.

But the problem is that he ran out of the gap, and he also wanted his teammates to be able to pass the ball, and it took a little time in the middle, once the opponent reacted, he immediately fought closely, and Yang Yang was very disadvantaged at this time.

There were many times when there were good opportunities, but they were physically at a disadvantage and were squeezed by the other party and lost the opportunity.

There are also times when he is squeezed out of balance by the opponent when he gets the ball, which is caused by his lack of physical strength.

The Eredivisie doesn't feel much yet, but if there is a chance to land in the four major leagues in the future, the opponent's defense will become more and more tight, and the strength of the defensive players will become stronger and stronger, and Yang Yang's shortcomings in this area will be more obvious at that time.

With the fierce competition among the teams in the four major leagues, it will be difficult for Yang Yang to compete for the main position if he can't grasp the opportunity at the beginning, so he has to lay a good foundation during his time at Ajax.

That's why he stayed at Ajax.

He has to be fully prepared to make up for the shortcomings that he should fill, and then enter the four major leagues.

Either he doesn't go, or he goes, he has to compete for the main team, and he is the main team in the Champions League of the four major leagues.

Otherwise, it would be better to stay at Ajax, at least there is a Champions League to play here every year.

The teammates also understand Yang Yang's problem, he is a little thin, and he is indeed at a loss in this regard.

"But you're only seventeen." Maxwell still didn't think it was a good fit.

"I'll be eighteen soon." Yang Yang reminded.

On October 25, his birthday is coming soon.

"As far as I know, eighteen to twenty-three years old is the most valuable age group for exercise, if you don't work hard for a while, will you regret it later?"

When Maxwell heard this, he was immediately upset, "Hey, hey, buddy, what do you mean?" ”

Everyone knew that Maxwell was exactly twenty-three years old.

Yang Yang's words were somewhat admonishing him.

"Ha, you know what you mean." Yang Yang said with a smile, "We Chinese have a saying, the young and strong do not work hard, the boss is sad, and he should reflect on himself." ”

He had a good relationship with Maxwell, and he was used to joking with each other, so he didn't care too much about it at all.

But behind Maxwell, Douglas McConn's face changed when he heard it, and he was also twenty-three years old.

As a peer and former player of the Brazilian national youth team, McCone has not been very good so far, having not been able to play in the main position at Cruzeiro before, and after joining Ajax this season, he has played very poorly on many occasions, and is currently even inferior to Grigra in the competition for the main right wing-back.

Having finally come to Europe and joined a team like Ajax, he didn't want to be sent back to Brazil in disgrace.

Yang Yang's words just now touched him greatly.

Others have mixed reactions, after all, they are all young people in their twenties, how many of them can be as precocious as Yang Yang, who knows how to consider and plan their future?

More of them are still looking at the joy in front of them, plus the training in the gym is indeed too hard, not to mention young people, even some adult players are very resistant, who would take the initiative to go to the gym to find abuse like Yang Yang?

…………

…………

The intensity of the afternoon training session was still not very high.

Ronald Coman devotes half of his time to tactical training.

The strength of Roda JC is not very strong, last season Ajax won two games, 2-1 away, 4-2 at home, it can be said that they won without danger, and the overall strength has an advantage.

They haven't been in great form this season, with three wins, one draw and three defeats in their first seven games, but it's worth noting that they have played well on the road, winning two of their three away games so far this season, including a 4-3 win over Heerenveen, which is not easy.

That's what Ronald Koeman reminded the players to be aware of.

Roda JC are certainly inferior to Ajax in terms of quality, but overall, they may not play at a high level on the road.

On the one hand, there are many Ajax internationals, and many players are going back and forth, which must be very tired, while they are recuperating; On the other hand, Ajax's current attack has not been adjusted well, and the team's attack has been playing poorly this season.

In the first three rounds, Yang Yang was there, and the team played in a more disciplined manner, but the next few games did not show a good offensive level.

Charlie Steias and Wesley Sonck, one is a European Cup winner and the other is the Golden Boot, they certainly have the quality, but now the key is how to play at their level, especially Wesley Sonck.

The reason why the team brought in Charlie Steias was to activate Wesley Sonk's attacking power, but judging from the previous rounds, it seems that he has not yet found the scoring sense of the Golden Boot of the past.

The good news for Ajax is that Yang Yang has returned to the team, but for the sake of safety, Yang Yang can only be substituted in this game.

The likes of Ryan Babbel, Nicolas Maduro and Victor Lindgren have all been drawn into the first team and have been featured in the first team, but they have all been average and have struggled to play in the first team at the moment.

On the contrary, it is the right winger Demoor, who has been heavily used this season, when Yang Yang was still in the team, he was playing as a substitute, and Yang Yang was not there, so he was helped to the main position, but the performance has not been satisfactory.

However, he is the right winger in the Ajax team whose characteristics are closest to Yang Yang.

In the afternoon tactical training, Yang Yang could guess that Doronard Koeman's intentions should still be to play as a right winger with Demur, and Charlie Steas must occupy the center position.

On the left wing, Wesley Sonk could be dropped off the bench, while Pienaar could be in that position.

The main reason for this adjustment is that Wesley Sonk has not been very good, and he has played in the national team again, going back and forth, and Pienaar can be qualified for the left winger position, freeing up the middle and allowing De Jong and Galasek to partner in the back two.

Sneijder remains at the heart of the midfield.

As for the backline, if there are no surprises, Grigra plays on the right, Heitinga and Vermaelen partner in the middle, and Maxwell still plays on the left, mainly because both of Roda JC's strikers are speedy, and Vermaelen has the advantage in defending this type of striker.

From the perspective of tactical training, Yang Yang feels that his guess should be eight or nine and ten, and Ronald Koeman's arrangement is somewhat cautious, considering that he is still fighting at home, it can even be said to be conservative.

But if you look at the actual situation of Ajax at present, it feels normal.

For the professional league, winning is king, beauty is a plus, and the premise of winning beauty is to be able to win.

Ajax have been winless in four games, losing 10 points in a row, and the league table is even inferior to Roda JC, no matter which point of view, the main thing is to win.

Win first, slowly adjust the team's state, put the tactics in place, and then think about how to win beautifully.

Obviously, Ronald Coman and the coaching staff are very well prepared and have a plan to deal with this.

As for Yang Yang himself, the task is very simple.

If the team is in the lead before the substitute comes on, then his task is to extend the score and win beautifully; If the team can't open the situation, or even fall behind, then his job is to help the team win.

Thinking about this layer, Yang Yang himself thought it was quite funny.

After a year in the team, I really learned a lot.
