Chapter 361 When self-abuse becomes a habit
With the arrival of the two-week national team match day, the club's international players have rushed to the national team to participate in the match.
Some are senior teams and some are youth teams.
After celebrating the return of the UEFA Super Cup from Monaco, De Tokmorst became extremely deserted.
Especially with the closing of the transfer market, Yang Yang did not transfer to Ajax as the outside world expected, which disappointed countless media reporters and fans.
They are all looking forward to Yang Yang going to the four major leagues, especially the Chinese fans.
This will be the first Chinese player to play for a giant team in the top European leagues, which is highly anticipated.
Regarding the transfer, Yang Yang gave a brief explanation on his blog, saying that he was not ready yet.
Everyone knows that it's not that he can't go to the four major leagues, but that he chooses not to go for the time being.
As for the reason, Wei Zhen, a well-known reporter from National TV, explained in his blog that Yang Yang was very cautious when choosing a team and had a very clear long-term plan for his career development.
After defeating North Korea in June, the Chinese team has successfully qualified for the World Cup.
The national team specially arranged two World Cup warm-up matches in September, the purpose is to continue to run the team's skills and tactics, and at the same time inspect the players, especially some newcomers.
As early as the end of the World Youth Championship, Yang Yang communicated with Ali Han and the team leader Zhu of the national team in the Netherlands. He hopes that in the new season he can concentrate on playing for Ajax, strive for a better and more outstanding performance in the UEFA Champions League in the new season, and gain more bargaining chips for his future career development.
Both Ali Han and Team Leader Zhu clearly expressed their support for Yang Yang.
And this time the national team training camp in September, Yang Yang did not enter the squad.
Not only him, including Zheng Zhi of Mainz, Zhao Junzhe of Celtic, Feng Xiaoting of Feyenoord, Gao Lin of Alkmaar, Zhou Haibin of Benfica, Hao Junmin of Hamburg and other overseas players were not selected.
In October, the Chinese team will hold a training camp in Germany. At that time, they will play two warm-up matches. Overseas players will have a good run-in with domestic players in these two games to prepare for next year's World Cup.
Regardless of whether it is the East Asian Games in November, or next year's warm-up matches and Asian Cup qualifiers, Yang Yang and other overseas countries will not be recruited to participate.
In fact, in the East Asian semi-finals in early August this year, no overseas internationals were recruited.
Yang Yang did not return to China without the national team competition task, but stayed in Amsterdam.
He still insists on going to Detokmost for training every day.
Winston Bogard and Luther Carroll also come to De Tokmorst every day.
Occasionally, friends will visit.
For example, Van Gaal.
…………
…………
"Ha, Louis, what brought you here?"
At the corner of De Tokmoster, when Yang Yang finished a whole day of training, he turned his head and saw Louis van Gaal sitting in the corner silently, handing him a bottle of water from a distance, he couldn't help laughing.
"Long time no see, why are you here?" Yang Yang asked happily.
"Come here secretly to spy on the intelligence." Van Gaal said jokingly.
Alkmaar will face Ajax in the fifth round, which will be another bitter battle in the new season.
Of course Yang Yang would not believe him, "Your opponent in the next round is Rosendal, you shouldn't come to De Tokmorst if you want to spy."
Unscrew the cap of the bottle, drink the water with a gurgle, and soon, the bottle of water is gone.
Louis van Gaal looked at the water in his hand, shook his head, and handed it up again.
Yang Yang took it over honestly and bluntly, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Van Gaal was very happy, two bottles of water was exchanged for a meal, it was worth it.
"I heard that the club gave you a two-week vacation. You only need to return to the team at the same time as the international players. Why didn't you go home?" Van Gaal asked with a smile.
Yang Yang thought of his parents and relatives, as well as Su Ye, shook his head and said, "It's not convenient to go back."
Needless to say, in my hometown, gyms are hard to find in third- and fourth-tier cities, and training will definitely be greatly affected.
As for going back to Beijing, although it is possible to train, but the national team is there to train and play warm-up matches, Yang Yang is on vacation, which is really unreasonable, so Yang Yang chose not to go back.
"Then you can also give yourself a vacation and take a good rest." Van Gaal said here, his eyes flashed a trace of the elder's love for the younger, "You haven't rested for three years, right?"
In the summer of [-], Yang Yang participated in the Amateur Invitational Tournament on behalf of Almere, and then came to Ajax to participate in the talent day selection.
Needless to say this year, the World Youth Championship was played after the World Cup qualifiers.
Sometimes when I think about it, time really flies by, and it has been three years in a blink of an eye.
"A few days ago, I went back to Almere." Yang Yang found a place to sit beside Van Gaal and said softly.
Van Gaal nodded slightly, he clearly knew what this place meant to Yang Yang.
"I went to visit my uncle, and by the way, I went to the old club and met with my former teammates. Many of them are now the main players of the team, playing in the third tier league."
Yang Yang introduced what he saw and heard in Almere, as if he was talking about a world that was not in the same time and space as him.
It's like when he was sitting on the bus and telling Almere teammates anecdotes about Ajax stars.
In fact, it is only 20 kilometers from the new southeast city of Amsterdam to Almere, and the round trip takes about half an hour, which means that Yang Yang himself does not know how to drive, otherwise, it would not be a problem to go back and forth every day.
Where Van Gaal lives is more than an hour's drive from the Alkmaar training base.
This is very common in the Netherlands.
"For three years, this team has been in second place every year and has failed every year." Van Gaal said with a wry smile.
He and John Rip are also old friends, and he really has nothing to say about what happened to Almere.
There are too many teams like Almere.
If you really want to say it, it must be sympathetic, but the professional league is like this.
It's like a pyramid, everyone sharpened their heads and wanted to climb up, but when one went up, one had to be squeezed down, how could it be so easy?
Yang Yang's emotion is not entirely because of what happened to Almere.
To be honest, his feelings for this team are not deep, but for some of his teammates back then.
Henk Dimel, Nick and others performed better than him when they were in the Almere youth training camp, but now, their situation is completely different, especially when Yang Yang saw them, he felt that they had begun to be content with the ordinary status quo.
At the age of 20, he still can't make it to the Dutch second league. This is indeed a big blow to Almere.
"Mr. Lei Pu said that if he can't make it into the new season, he will resign." Yang Yang said lightly.
Van Gaal nodded, "Consecutive failures in the second round have dealt him a great blow, and the pressure is also enormous. Resigning may be a relief instead. For him, it may not be a bad thing."
Yang Yang agrees with this statement very much, because he feels that when they met this time, John Repp was obviously much older.
"Sometimes, I feel very lucky. You know, my biggest wish back then was to stay in Almere and play in the first team. I never thought that I would be able to get to where I am today."
Yang Yang turned his head, looked at Van Gaal, and said with a smile.
This is the deepest feeling in his heart.
He really felt that he was very lucky, especially when he returned to Almere and saw the status quo of his former mentor and teammates. When these people looked at him with eyes full of envy, even jealousy, but with unreachable despair, he cherished everything he had now even more.
"You can get to where you are today, the situation is only part of it, but what is more important is your diligence and hard work."
Van Gaal patted Yang Yang's shoulder lightly and said affirmatively.
When a person turns hard work, self-discipline, and even self-abuse into an almost instinctive habit, it will explode with amazing energy.
Yang Yang is like this.
"Your teammate in the national team, Gao Lin, has solid basic skills, excellent physical fitness, strong ability to hold the ball behind his back, very comprehensive characteristics, and good speed. But here, something is missing, which makes him obviously slower than his teammates in both games and training."
Van Gaal pointed to his head, but he was definitely not saying that Gao Lin was not smart enough, but the wisdom of playing football.
Yang Yang could understand what Van Gaal said, just like when he was in the Almere youth team, he couldn't grab the ball from his teammates no matter what.
"He has a good understanding. Give him more time and opportunities, and I believe he will repay you." Yang Yang helped Gao Lin speak.
Van Gaal laughed and said, "I know, otherwise, I would not sign him, but I will not say anything to him. I need to put a little pressure on him, make him work harder, and make him work harder, so that he can complete the transformation."
Coaching young players is Van Gaal's forte. Yang Yang has neither the ability nor the right to comment.
In these few games, Van Gaal has not only used Gao Lin as a center forward, but often let him play on the side, and even let him play in midfield. I believe this is also to allow him to integrate into the team faster and better.
As for when he will be able to enlighten, it depends on his own good luck.
Van Gaal's performance is good now, and he can give him more patience, but once the team's performance has twists and turns, if Gao Lin does not improve, the next thing to meet him is the bench.
"Don't worry, I will help you supervise him." Yang Yang smiled.
Van Gaal didn't know, this guy was going to secretly remind him, but he didn't care.
He is the head coach of the team, and he doesn't care what the young players think at all. What he needs is the performance of the players.
As for Yang Yang, he will not interfere with Van Gaal's training of players, he just wants to give Gao Lin some encouragement and advice.
After all, the two of them are not only comrades-in-arms of the national team, but also good friends in private.
