Chapter 14
On Saturday, more than a hundred fans gathered around the Diemen Victoria Center Stadium in the southern suburbs of Amsterdam. They consciously stood outside the low white iron fence on the sidelines and watched the game inside the stadium.
Today, the home team Dimenblad High School met Bakken Academy from Almere.
There is a certain gap between the strengths of the two teams. After losing at home to the archrival Omnibas in the same city last week, Bakken Academy vented all the fuss they had pent up this week on Bled Middle School.
From the first minute, Bakken Academy firmly suppressed Brad Middle School, especially the team's right flank.
After experiencing a sluggish performance in the last round, the substitute right back was ruthlessly abandoned by head coach Dick Van Poel. Although Nick returned from injury, he still sat on the bench for conservative reasons.
After a arduous game, Yang Yang gained a lot, and seeing hope, he trained more vigorously, and his performance on the court has improved significantly compared with a week ago. Together with the right midfielder in front of him, he formed the right offensive knife of Bakken Academy, and tore through the left defense of Brad Middle School time and time again.
Less than 10 minutes into the game, Yang Yang inserted a high-speed lap on the right side. After catching the ball, he faced the opponent's left back and made a pendulum pass. He cleanly shook the defensive player off balance and fell on the field. After hitting the right side of the penalty area, he crossed to the goal. Bakken Academy's No. [-] forward shot from close range and hit the goal.
This goal completely blew the horn of Bakken Academy's offense.
Afterwards, Yang Yang became more active on the right side, getting the ball frequently, facing the defenders again and again, and making breakthroughs again and again, but then either he did not handle the ball ideally, or the cross was not in place, and finally failed to assist and score.
On the contrary, Henk Dimmel, who was sitting in the midfield, was more active. He passed and shot within half an hour, helping Bakken Academy to secure a [-]-[-] lead before the end of the first half.
Seeing that the team completely controlled the game on the court, the three-goal lead can be said to be the overall situation. The head coach Dick Van Poel was also greatly relieved, letting go of the stone after losing the derby in the same city a week ago.
John Repp made a rare away game to oversee the army, but he still sat in the coach's seat and watched the game silently.
Seeing Dick Femple approaching, John Repp smiled wryly and said with a weird expression: "He seems to know only this trick."
Femple knew that John Repp was talking about Yang Yang, so he nodded and said, "It's really strange."
A new move is not uncommon in professional football, but it is extremely rare for someone like Yang Yang who is only good at pendulums but has poor basic skills. No wonder John Repp feels weird.
After his outstanding performance against Omnibas, Yang Yang successfully attracted the attention of the coaching staff, but after a week of observation, almost everyone concluded that although his basic skills have improved significantly, they are still not good enough and have not yet reached the average level of the Almere youth team.
But at the same time, they also concluded that Yang Yang's progress was very fast, whether it was basic skills, or performance in training and competitions, they were all improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The same mistake, he made it today, will be corrected immediately tomorrow, although new mistakes will appear one after another, but he is always correcting, and the same mistakes are rarely repeated, which in itself is an incredible improvement.
Not only that, just take his pendulum as an example.
The range is not as big as Ronaldo, but with more fake moves and pace adjustments, it is more confusing, causing defenders to be broken through again and again under hasty coping, and the success rate of dribbling is extremely high.
When he played against Omnibas last week, the whole set of moves was still very immature and rough, but today against Brad Middle School, when he used the pendulum several times to pass others, it was obviously more coherent and the effect was better.
With his current speed of improvement, John Repp, who was born as a right winger, is even suspicious. If Yang Yang can practice this move smoothly, as if he can use his arms and fingers, wouldn't it become a sharp weapon for Almere's breakthrough on the right?
More importantly, he can finally be sure that Yang Yang does have an extraordinary ability to read and deduce the game, and he is still a player of that type, who is easily excited every game and is full of passion on the court.
This kind of player is definitely the dream of every head coach.
So much so that John Repp himself felt puzzled, why hadn't he discovered that this kid had these advantages before?
Of course he didn't know about Yang Yang's adventure, but it was attributed to his own prejudice, thinking that he only noticed Yang Yang's shortcomings in the past and never paid attention to Yang Yang's advantages, and felt deeply ashamed instead.
"It's almost the game, Dick," John Rip nodded.
The halftime is coming to an end, and if there is no accident, Bakken Academy, which leads by three goals, will win.
"Adjust during the intermission and let Nick play. He should also be familiar with the rhythm of the game."
Nick is the main force of Almere's youth team, both offensive and defensive, and the position of right back cannot be shaken.
"Go to Nick?" Dick Van Poole frowned deeply, "Yang Yang performed well, if he is replaced at this time, will he..."
The last game lasted for half an hour, and this game lasted for more than 40 minutes. Not much time, but Dick Van Poel has already begun to like this Chinese player. There is no other reason.
"It wasn't about taking him off, I was saying put him up there and attack with all his might."
"Attack with all your strength?" Dick Fempl was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood.
Yes, Yang Yang played right back in these two games. Although he performed well on the offensive end, he had to be distracted on defense. Let Nick go up to play right back, push Yang Yang to the midfield, or even attack in the frontcourt, which will make him more worry-free.
"I really look forward to what kind of performance he will have." Dick Fempl said with a chuckle.
John Rip smiled, expecting the same.
"Wait and tell the bus driver to bypass the Amsterdam Arena on the way back."
"Huh?" Dick Feimpel was puzzled.
Normally, to return to Almere from Diemen, you only need to go east, and you can reach Almere directly after taking the A1 highway. However, the Amsterdam Arena is on the west side of Diemen, and the detour is not only farther away, but also a lively neighborhood.
That area is the core area of the new city southeast of Amsterdam.
"It's time to give them some excitement." John Rip chuckled.
…………
…………
Go all out?
Yang Yang was on fire when he heard Van Poel's adjustments and instructions during the intermission.
Especially when he heard the head coach solemnly warned Henk Dimmel that he must do his best to cooperate with him, he felt very excited and satisfied spontaneously.
He could tell that Van Poole was going to investigate him, to see if he had the ability to become the team's sharp knife.
This is a good opportunity for him to return to the offensive position!
After the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half, when Yang Yang appeared in front of the left back of Brad Middle School, he could clearly see that the opponent's entire face was black.
In the first half, the two sides had a lot of head-to-head contests, and he didn't take advantage of Yang Yang. He was very jealous, even a little afraid, of this Chinese player who didn't seem very reliable, but was extremely skilled in using a trick.
Isn't he a full back?Why did you come to the front all of a sudden?Still so far ahead?
What do they mean?
Seeing the defensive player's crying expression, Yang Yang grinned, showing his white teeth, and smiled innocently.
"Please advise."
The polite words were spoken, but they did not hold back in the game.
Yang Yang has played in the offensive position in China. He has played both forward and winger, and the winger position is his old profession.
When he played full-back before, he was always worried about defense, but now he doesn't have to. The main right back Nick sits behind him, and the head coach Van Poole asks him to attack with all his strength, so what else does he have to worry about?
He is very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses, and he took the initiative to retreat after the opening. The opponent's left back was worried about the defense behind him, and he was unwilling to take risks, so he let Yang Yang retreat.
After all, it was only an inter-school competition, and the defense was relatively loose. Yang Yang could easily receive the ball between the full-back and the full-back. After turning around, he directly dribbled the ball and started to drive towards the left back at a uniform speed, forcing the opponent's defense line to retreat continuously.
Between advancing and retreating, Yang Yang kept closing the distance. When he was in front of the opponent, he suddenly accelerated and passed the pendulum again.
The previous series of actions were very beautiful, but the quality of the final cross was not high, it was slightly higher, and the two forwards who responded in the middle could not control the landing in time, and finally the ball was cleared by the right back of Brad Middle School.
Unable to create a goal, Yang Yang couldn't help but feel disappointed, and secretly said: To find a chance, you still need to practice this cross more.
As a right-footed player, kicking the right wing, crossing is still a very threatening skill. Even if you don't have the energy to learn [Beckham's crossing] for the time being, at least you have to practice crossing a little more reliably.
Although the last cross was not played well, Yang Yang's wonderful performance won him applause from the fans on the sidelines.
This is not a professional game, and the home team fans are not afraid to cheer on the visiting team players.
Returning to the familiar offensive position, Yang Yang took the lead in the second half and suppressed the opponent's left back in momentum. Yang Yang, who let go of his hands and feet and attacked with all his strength, began to be more active on the right, and his abundant physical fitness made him run back and forth on the right.
Finally, in the No.603 minute, he once again made a successful breakthrough on the right, crossed the penalty area, assisted and inserted midfielder Henk Dimmel and hit a close-range push, four to zero.
After the victory and defeat had been scored, everyone in Bakken Academy performed more relaxedly, and many players also let go of their hands and feet. All kinds of random actions on the field emerged one after another. Yang Yang was not satisfied with only breaking through on the right, and began to frequently cut into the penalty area.
Finally, at the 80nd minute of No.[-], he once again used a pendulum on the right to forcefully break through the opponent's left back from the inside, and then crossed the ball to the No. [-] striker at the front of the penalty area.
Yang Yang slanted into the penalty area at the fastest speed. After catching up with the ball, he faced the goalkeeper who was attacking decisively.
Got a goal?
This is a goal?
Yang Yang was completely dumbfounded.
This is the first time he has scored an opponent's goal since he landed in the Netherlands.
During the new book period, please support us a lot!
