Chapter 79
"Zlatan, what are you doing? Going out for a meal, what are you doing with so much cologne and pomade?"
The Porsche 911 was running on the highway to Almere, and Yang Yang, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help complaining.
"Honestly, you don't pour the whole bottle of pomade on your head, do you?"
As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, Maxwell and Vermaelen burst out laughing.
Ibrahimovic, who was in charge of driving, said a word to Yang Yang angrily, "Get lost."
"Let me tell you, just before leaving the house, he took a shower, changed his clothes, sprayed perfume and waxed his hair, and did it for a full hour."
"My God, is it so scary?"
"Of course, you know that there are the most girls in your school, do you think he will let go of such an opportunity?"
Yang Yang thought about it, really, this is what Ibrahimovic looks like.
"Maxwell, if you don't want to die, just shut up." The Swedish center cursed angrily.
But how can everyone take it seriously?
"Originally, I also suggested that he stop a little further away. There are people coming and going at the gate of the school, which attracts people's attention. Guess what he said?" Maxwell asked with a smile.
"What I want is to attract people's attention." Yang Yang said with a smile.
Everyone suddenly laughed again.
"That's right, I just like to attract attention, it's better than you. You dare not go when a girl invites you to a party." Ibrahimovic immediately retorted.
"Hey, to be clear, it's not that I dare not go, it's just because I don't like her type." Yang Yang explained.
"Then which type do you like?" Vermaelen on the side suddenly asked gossipingly.
Yang Yang was taken aback for a moment, as if he really hadn't thought about this question.
"Stop pretending, if you don't dare to go, don't dare to go, with so many excuses, if it were me, I would have already..."
The Swedish center was halfway through his speech, but he didn't dare to continue, because he saw Maxwell sitting in the passenger seat took out his mobile phone to record. God knows if this guy will really record it?
If Helena heard it, he would have to peel off his skin if he was not dead.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to communicate with you rookies who haven't dated before."
After finishing speaking, the Swedish center hit hard and stepped on the accelerator even deeper.

Since it was noon and there were not many cars on the highway, Ibrahimovic drove very fast and arrived in Almere soon.
Still take Exit No. [-], pass the Motor City, and come to Shen Kee Chinese Restaurant.
It was time for meals, and the parking lot outside the Chinese restaurant was half full. From the outside, there were no empty seats inside. It seemed that the business of the restaurant was really booming as my uncle said.
Seeing a luxury car parked, Wei Zheng, who was in charge of welcoming guests, hurried over to greet him, but he didn't expect that it was Yang Yang who got out of the car.
"Brother Zheng." Yang Yang greeted.
"Hey, why are you here?" Wei Zheng was taken aback, and when he saw the three of Ibrahimovic, he still didn't understand, "Come on, tell your friends to sit inside."
Yang Yang was not too polite, he could be regarded as the junior master here, and immediately greeted Ibrahimovic and others to enter.
Wei Zheng is an international student from China. He graduated from a famous domestic university. He is currently studying media and marketing at the University of Amsterdam. He works part-time in a Chinese restaurant. He is the same age as his cousin Shen Yuzhu. The last time he came here, Yang Yang vaguely noticed that the two people looked at each other with unusual eyes.
Cousin Shen Yuzhu looks above average, but she has a good personality. She studied in Holland and has been working in Chinese restaurants since she graduated last year. According to her uncle Shen Ming, she wants to return to work in China within a year or two, and Yang Yang's parents can help her find a suitable partner.
Yang Yang had heard his uncle praise Wei Zheng before, and it would be a good thing if the two could really get together.
Shen Kee Chinese Restaurant has an area specially provided for Almere players to have dinner and gatherings. No matter how many customers there are on weekdays, they will not occupy it. This is a special treatment given to Almere players by the Chinese restaurant and citizens.
Seeing Yang Yang beckon the three of them to go in and go straight to the exclusive area of Almere to sit down, everyone in the audience looked over one after another, and soon recognized Yang Yang, followed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and others, and the entire Chinese restaurant was in an uproar.
This is Ajax's leading star, and he even came here to eat.
Yang Yang also recognized a few acquaintances from them, so he chatted with them for a while, and when Shen Ming and the others heard the news and chased them out, they greeted each other again, and naturally greeted Yang Yang again.
The nephew brought the guests to join him on a special trip, and Shen Ming immediately cooked the dishes himself, making several special dishes, which Ibrahimovic and Maxwell ate with full of praise, and praised Yang Yang that he didn't even learn [-]% of his uncle's skills.
Yang Yang naturally laughed and scolded the three ungrateful guys who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone was not in a hurry to go back, and it was still you talking and teasing each other.
Gradually, the topic turned to the current first team.
The current performance of Ajax's first team has made great progress. After surviving the first crisis of confidence at the beginning of the season, Koeman's team's next schedule can be described as overwhelming. Needless to say, the Eredivisie League is currently ranked first in the Champions League group stage.
AC Milan tied Celta Vigo in the second round of the group stage, and unexpectedly lost to Club Brugge in the third round, which allowed Ajax, who had won two consecutive victories, to reach the top of the group stage.
The team's performance is outstanding, and the outside world's impression of Ajax has also changed.
But Yang Yang keenly sensed something strange from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maxwell.
The Swedish center first looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to what they were saying, then he leaned over and said in a low voice: "Yang, Thomas, if you believe me, then be prepared, from now until the winter break, don't get hurt."
"Why?" Yang Yang was curious.
"You could be called up to the first team at any moment."
Vermaelen's eyes flashed brightly, but then he was a little worried, "Is this possible?"
"Absolutely." Maxwell nodded.
Obviously, the Brazilian left-back is more convincing than the careless Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"Don't look at the current first-team winning streak, but in fact the situation is not good at all." Ibrahimovic said.
Although Maxwell didn't speak, he kept nodding.
"This season, the management put a lot of pressure on the team's performance. The Champions League group stage must qualify, and the league must win the championship. This has brought great psychological pressure to the team, especially in the period before. Everyone almost couldn't stand it. Van der Vaart got cards frequently and lost his temper several times. This is the case with the red card against PSV Eindhoven."
Yang Yang frowned when he heard this, "Don't the management know that after selling Qi Wu and Van der Meyde, the strength of the team has been damaged, and it's hard to be as good as last season?"
"How can you not understand?" Maxwell took the words, shaking his head and said: "The main reason is that Ajax is in a precarious state and has been losing money for several consecutive seasons. Last season's financial situation was the best, but it still lost 400 million euros, and more than half of the club's 650 million euros in financial revenue came from the UEFA Champions League."
In the Champions League last season, Ajax reached the quarter-finals all the way before losing to AC Milan.
"Selling Qiwu and Van der Meyde, the club will have enough strength to renew the contracts of several players in the team, but the financial pressure that comes with it is not small. If they cannot qualify for the group, the club will lose a lot of income."
Yang Yang was silent, he began to understand the difficulties of the management.
In the final analysis, there is no money.
"The management puts pressure on the technical director, and the technical director puts pressure on the coaching staff, putting pressure on the players. In the end, the pressure is on the players. Do you think the pressure on the first-team players is great?"
After Zlatan Ibrahimovic asked back, he sneered again, "But don't think that we are the only ones who are sad. Van Gaal has been having trouble with Cruyff recently. The latter is very dissatisfied with the management's invitation of Van Gaal to be the technical director. The two have opened fire many times, and now they are causing panic in the team."
Regarding the exchange of fire between Van Gaal and Cruyff, Yang Yang also saw some from the media, but he did not have such a deep understanding of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and he also began to understand that in such an atmosphere, let alone letting the players perform at their best, it may be difficult to play football with peace of mind. Everyone is probably thinking about leaving the team.
At least, that's what Ibrahimovic in front of Yang Yang thinks.
"Recently, the team's offense has been poor and their defense has been poor. The main problem is that Trabelsi's contract on the right is about to expire. Many giants, including Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan and Inter Milan, want him. His contract with the club expires next summer."
"What?" Yang Yang and Vermaelen were both taken aback.
Doesn't this mean that he can contact the next family immediately?
"Don't worry, in his current contract, the club has added an additional clause that gives priority to renewal, so in theory, if other teams want to poach him, they still need Ajax's nod, and the club means to renew the contract before leaving in the summer."
Yang Yang heard from John Van Schip that Ajax had suffered a lot in this regard, that is, in the mid-to-late 90s, limited by the Bosman Act, the group of stars who were brought out by Van Gaal in their prime were basically transferred to the team at extremely low prices, which caused Ajax to suffer heavy losses.
It can even be said that it was at that time that Ajax had financial problems. Later, it invested in the Ajax Cape Town Club in South Africa for youth training, but the effect was minimal. Instead, it lost a lot of money, which in turn drove Ajax.
With the lessons learned from the past, Ajax of course hopes that the players will renew their contracts before leaving, so that they can be sold at a relatively high price. After all, Trabelsi is currently performing very well. This year, he was even shortlisted for the European Footballer of the Year.
"What about Trabelsi? What does he think?" Vermaelen asked with concern.
I chatted with someone yesterday and checked the readership structure. I found out that I still have a large proportion of female readers.
