Chapter 101 Too insidious
During the annual winter training period, Ajax will choose to go south to avoid the cold in order to ensure the quality of the team's winter training.
The south of Portugal has become Ajax's first choice.
Lagos, a small city in the south of Portugal, has a population of only 2 people, but it has the most beautiful beaches in Portugal.
The training camp chosen by Ajax is in the southernmost part of the small town, just on the famous Cape Pedade, and there are famous beaches nearby, as well as the unique cliffs and rocky beaches of Lagos.
The hotel where the team stayed was a resort, consisting of small single-family buildings. Ajax directly booked one of the areas to stay in. Next to the resort, there are two standard-sized football fields and a small training ground.
In addition, there are all kinds of supporting facilities such as swimming pool and gymnasium, which are very complete.
Having learned the experience and lessons of the first half, Ronald Koeman obviously strengthened the control over the players and the disciplinary requirements for the team. As soon as he arrived at the resort, they packed up their things and immediately started training.
On the next day, there was continuous drizzle in Lagos, but the coaching staff still pulled everyone out of the warm quilts early and directly to the deserted beach for special training.
This intensity is obviously greater than on the training ground.
After a short break at noon, everyone came to the training ground next to the resort in the afternoon, half for strength training and half for ball training. After half an hour, the players of the two teams exchanged training content.
The last half hour is for 15 minutes of technical and tactical drills and 15 minutes of group confrontation training.
The whole day of training persisted, and everyone felt overwhelmed.
The Christmas holiday is beautiful, but this winter training trip is going to tear everyone off.
Although Yang Yang is young and his physical fitness is not dominant, he still insisted on training every day during the Christmas period. He never dared to slack off in the slightest.
Ronald Koeman and the coaching staff did not give special treatment to young players, and even specially added physical strengthening training to Yang Yang, in order to strengthen Yang Yang's physical fitness and strength confrontation as soon as possible.
Fortunately, it only rained for one day, and Lagos soon welcomed the warm sunshine again.
Yang Yang still trains with the team every day, but sooner or later he will have his own additional training programs. In the morning, he usually goes to the beach to jog and jump the ball, and in the evening, he conducts one-on-one special training accompanied by Luther Carroll.
John Vanskip is the assistant coach of the second team. He has no way to come to Lagos with the team, so he can only temporarily hand over the special training of Yang Yang to Luther Carroll.
Lagush is far away from the hustle and bustle, without the attention of the media and fans, so that everyone on the team can concentrate more on winter training, and the days pass by in a fulfilling and peaceful way.
But there will still be a steady stream of news coming from the Netherlands.
…………
…………
"A pair of four."
In the living room of the small detached house where Yang Yang lived, the Swedish center smiled and released two playing cards, which was very malicious.
"Have you heard? That old man Van Gaal has reorganized the scouting department. It is said that the entire scouting team will lay off a lot of people. Now there is a lot of trouble in Amsterdam, and many people are complaining about him."
"A pair of six." Maxwell followed suit, "Is Tony Browns Slots all right?"
"Block you, a pair of kings." Yang Yang also made a pair.
He was not familiar with Lagush, and it was so inconvenient that it was dark outside at night, so he didn't go out for training, and fought landlords with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maxwell when he had nothing to do.
Yang Yang and Vermaelen count as one share, Ibrahimovic and Maxwell each share, but they don't gamble, they bet on other things, for example, if someone loses a lot, they will take off their underwear and run around the small building.
At first, none of the three Ibrahimovic could play, but after playing once, they were all hooked and it became a nightly routine.
"Hey, I just ate you, a pair of A's." Ibrahimovic made another pair with confidence, "Tony should be fine, the position of chief scout will definitely be kept, but a lot of people will be laid off."
"Wow, no, yes." Maxwell said depressedly. "As far as I know, it is true that some of them are going to be cut, but the most important thing is to rectify. The efficiency of the previous scouting team was too low. I heard that Van Gaal wants to reduce personnel and improve efficiency. At the same time, he also intends to expand the business scope of scouts. It is said that in addition to Northern Europe and Africa, Eastern Europe and South America are also the focus of the club's scouting layout."
Yang Yang listened attentively, but did not interrupt, "A pair of two, do you want a bomb?"
Vermaelen laughed from ear to ear, and both he and Yang Yang had guessed the cards in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's hand.
"Hey, why do you still have a pair of two?" The Swedish center was depressed.
"Landlord, you didn't count the cards, did you? There were only one and two in total. Of course we still have a pair." Vermaelen replied eagerly.
The Swedish center looked at Maxwell, "Don't you have a second?"
"Who told you I have two?"
"Stop rambling, be quick, blow it up or not?" Yang Yang urged.
Ibrahimovic looked depressedly at Maxwell, and then at Yang Yang and Vermaelen. He felt that he was cornered by these three guys, and his whole head was getting bigger.
"Hurry up, wait until all my flowers are withered." Maxwell imitated Yang Yang's words with a smile.
Ibrahimovic thought for a while, gritted his teeth, "Fried!"
He slapped the two kings on the table vigorously, and his teeth ached with hatred.
"One two, you don't have any?" Ibrahimovic directly showed the last two cards in his hand.
"Wow, I knew you still had a second." Maxwell said sadly, "You bastard, it's hidden so deep."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, you three quickly take off your clothes and go out for a run." The Swedish center smiled triumphantly.
"Wait, wait." Vermaelen laughed.
"Wait for what?"
"Take back your stinky old seven first, and then play it out." Yang Yang said with a smile as he separated the two cards.
Ibrahimovic suddenly had an ominous premonition, this kid is too insidious.
Maxwell, on the other hand, was ecstatic and ecstatic when he came out of a desperate situation.
"Sure enough, you didn't count the cards. Don't you think that no one has played a three so far?" Yang Yang played four threes with a smile.
Ibrahimovic seemed to have suffered 250 times the blow. He screamed and slapped his thigh hard. He really didn't expect that Yang Yang was hiding a bomb.
"You really are as insidious and cunning as that dead old man Van Gaal."
Yang Yang didn't fight back either, he still played a pair with a smile on his face, three with one, and finally left a single with a small four.
"Landlord, with two bombs, you lose four times." Yang Yang Mimi laughed.
Maxwell and Vermaelen had been laughing from ear to ear for a long time, and they were on the same front now, wishing that Ibrahimovic would lose miserably.
The Swedish center's face changed, and he regretted it.
After a long time of silence, he took another deep breath and squeezed out two words, "I owe you."
The three of Yang Yang looked at each other and smiled, they didn't care, they were just joking anyway, they continued to play cards, but they didn't forget to tease and sarcasm.
"You, if you gamble with us, you will lose even your underwear."
"That's right, good cards are called, and bad cards are also called. You deserve to lose."
"Landlords are not so good."
Ibrahimovic folded his cards depressedly, how dare he refute half a sentence?
"When I was on vacation in Brazil, I heard from my former teammates in Cruzeiro that Ajax's scouting team had already begun to look for candidates for the right back, and the first choice was Cruzeiro's main right back Maurinho." Maxwell said.
"Who is Maurinho?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
Trabelsi's intention to leave the team after the end of this season is already clear. If Ajax didn't know how to make plans early, it would be a joke, but they didn't expect to choose Brazilian players.
But it's normal to think about it again. Brazil's full-backs are still very strong, and they are of good quality and low price.
"He was just 25 years old. He was transferred from Santos early last year. He rose very quickly and was selected for the Brazilian national team. He participated in the Confederations Cup in [-] and performed well. He is currently the most popular right back in Brazil. He put Maicon of the National Youth Team on the bench and attracted the attention of many European teams."
The age of 25 is quite in line with Ajax's team requirements. After all, Ajax is the team with the lowest average age in this UEFA Champions League.
"How are the negotiations going?" Ibrahimovic asked.
"It is said that there are some small differences. Ajax hopes to transfer during the winter break, but Cruzeiro is unwilling to let him go. The two sides are still negotiating, but it should not be a big problem." Maxwell said.
It was also at this time that Yang Yang suddenly remembered, didn't Maxwell come from Cruzeiro?
"Why did the team introduce Maurinho during the winter break? Didn't it mean that there were no signings during the winter break?" Vermaelen asked with concern.
He is also concerned about his future. After all, there is a problem with the back line. He, a substitute who can play central defender and left back, will get more opportunities.
"That's a misrepresentation by the media." Maxwell shook his head. "This year is the year of the Africa Cup of Nations. After participating in our Portuguese training camp, six or seven African players including Trabelsi, Pienaar, Yakubu and Obodai will go back to play. Moreover, the African Cup schedule is from late January to late February, which is quite unfavorable to the team."
Hearing what Maxwell said, Yang Yang really understood. If they really went back, wouldn't there be no one on the right side?
"It is said that the team had discussions with the African national team before, but the other party rejected the club's request and decided to transfer international players back to the competition. Players like Trabelsi and Yakubu will definitely enter the knockout rounds. There is no way to return to the team before mid-February."
Everyone suddenly realized it, no wonder the club asked Maurinho to transfer during the winter break.
"In addition to the right back, the midfielder and striker are also strengthening their signings. I heard that John Sting Olsen strongly recommended another player to the club, saying that he has the potential to become the second Zlatan."
As soon as Maxwell finished speaking, Yang Yang suddenly became interested, "Who the hell is it?"
Ibrahimovic curled his lips proudly, obviously not believing that there is a second Zlatan in this world.
