During Christmas, except for the Premier League, the European League was suspended completely, but the big news in European football is still coming.

First, Zidane defeated his national teammate Henry and his club teammate Ronaldo with an absolute advantage and was successfully elected as the World Footballer. This is also the third time that a French superstar has become a World Footballerer.

Yang Yang watched the live TV broadcast of the award ceremony. The French superstar said in an interview on the spot that he would retire at the age of 33, which surprised everyone, including Yang Yang.

Although he is 31 years old, Zidane is still at its peak. The Real Madrid superstar he plays for is full of stars, and is hailed as the strongest team in today's football world. He can dominate European football for a few more years. How could he clearly state that he will retire in two or three years?

After Zidane announced his retirement, media around the world were shocked. At the same time, many media began to look for the next Zidane and selected the top ten new midfielders in European football with the most hope of replacing Zidane.

The first place is of course Ronaldinho, who just joined Barcelona this summer. At the age of 23, he is a world-recognized super genius. Everyone thinks he will become the top superstar.

But his teammate in the Brazilian national team and AC Milan's supernova Kaka are also the focus of everyone's expectations. He is the most eye-catching star in European football this season, and he is only 21 years old.

In addition, playing for the Brazilian Santos team, the 18-year-old new Pele Diego also made everyone look forward to it. Many people even think that he is better and more potential than Kaka.

In addition to the three Brazilian stars, Argentina's Dalisandro, Aimal, England's Lampard, Italy's Casano and Pirlo are all young rookies that European football is looking forward to and are included in the list of Zidane's substitutes.

Rafael Van der Fatt, who also made this list, is also effective in Ajax.

As Ajax's youngest captain, Van der Fate has left the position of the left winger and changed to the midfield to play in the middle of the midfield, but everyone believes that he already has the strength of a top European star, and his talent and potential are enough to make him a top superstar, provided that he needs to transfer to leave Ajax.

The Eredivisie is no longer ten years ago, and Ajax is not the European powerhouse at the time. Only by leaving Ajax and joining the giant team can Van der Fate get a better platform to perform.

Yang Yang didn't know the rest of the list, but he knew Kaka, this Brazilian player is indeed quite powerful, and Ajax's Van der Fate is his teammate, so there is no need to say more about his strength.

Through this list, Yang Yang also clearly felt that the Eredivisie's position in European football has completely fallen to second-rate, and Ajax is no longer in the sight of mainstream media and fans.

After Zidane won the World Footballer, French Football Magazine quickly announced the selection of the European Footballer. Czech star Nedved, who played for Juventus, defeated Henry, Maldini and Shevchenko were elected as new European Footballer, and Zidane only won fifth place on the list.

Yang Yang's idol Ronaldo dropped to eleventh place.

Among the top ten players on the list, Real Madrid has made a total of four, namely Zidane, Raul, Carlos and Beckham, plus Ronaldo, the eleventh place, Real Madrid can be said to occupy half of the territory.

The selection of World Footballer and European Footballer quickly attracted heated discussions among the media and fans. They began to pay more attention to who was more authoritative, but Yang Yang's attention quickly shifted to the lottery.

The draw results of the Dutch Cup quarterfinals knockout round were soon released, with Ajax facing Feyenoord at home.

The time is February 4th.

This will also be the first strong dialogue between the Dutch giants that Yang Yang will face after landing.

The second half of the Dutch League starts on January 24th. After two rounds of the league, we will usher in the Dutch Cup. In late February, we will usher in the knockout round of the Champions League quarterfinals. Ajax's schedule throughout February is very intensive.

After the results of the Dutch Cup draw were released, the draw results of the Champions League quarterfinals were also released.

Since Ajax qualifies as the second in the group, he will face one of the seven teams in the other seven groups except AC Milan.

Lyon, Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Monaco...

As a result, Ajax was very lucky to win the Gunner Arsenal.

This immersed the entire Dutch football world in a strong sense of pessimism, because Arsenal has shown strong dominance in the Premier League this season, with 13 wins and six draws in the 19th round, and has maintained an unbeaten record so far. However, due to the many draws, he fell one point behind his old opponent Manchester United in the league and ranked second in the standings.

In the Champions League group stage, Arsenal played very badly in the first three rounds. He first lost to Inter Milan at home, then drew with Locomotive Moscow away from home, and lost to Dynamo Kiev away from home.

But Wenger's team quickly adjusted, defeating Dynamo Kiev 1-0 at home, defeating Inter Milan 5-1 away, and defeating Locomotive Moscow 2-0 at home. Both strength and condition were obviously very outstanding.

After the draw results came out, the entire Dutch football world was desperate about Ajax's Champions League prospects. After all, Arsenal is a giant in the Premier League, and it is difficult for Ajax to compete with such a giant team.

And this emotion naturally affected the team.

Entering 2014, Ajax reunited in DeTok Most.

After the players finished their Christmas holiday, they all returned to the team on time.

Yang Yang also met friends such as Ibrahimovic, Fermuren and Maxwell who returned to China for Christmas again, but the overall atmosphere of DeTok Most was obviously a bit depressing.

No one will like this feeling of being destined to be eliminated.

Captain Van der Fate led all teammates to undergo a detailed physical examination by the team doctor first. The physical data of many players in the team exceeded the standard, which also made head coach Ronald Koemann's face not particularly good-looking.

Before the holiday, he kept reminding everyone not to slackew.

What surprised Yang Yang was that the Swedish center's physical data was actually very good and did not exceed the standard, which was obviously unreasonable.

"Didn't you say that you are with Helena all day long?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

Ibrahimovic was very proud after hearing this and raised his eyebrows, "Hehe, I was born with this kind of body, and you can't envy you."

"Will you die if you don't brag?" Yang Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

But let alone, I feel particularly warm when Ibrahimovic bragging.

"I guess he must have been with Helena for a long time, he was vain." Maxwell laughed.

Yang Yang and others were all men, so of course they could understand what they meant and burst into laughter.

The Swedish center reached out to catch the Brazilian, "Maxwell, if you miss, say it earlier, I will fulfill you."

Yang Yang was amused again, but when he heard the cheerful laughter of his teammates, he still felt very familiar.

Since Yang Yang insisted on training every day during Christmas, his physical examination was passed smoothly, but the coaching staff still gave Yang Yang a plan for additional training, mainly for physical reserves and physical strength confrontation. These are Yang Yang's current weaknesses and need to be strengthened.

This certainly means that Yang Yang's entire winter break training will be particularly difficult, but in turn, it also means that the coaching team led by Ronald Koeman has begun to express higher expectations and requirements for him, and I believe that he will still be an important member of the team in the second half of the season.

After the physical examination, Ronald Koeman severely scolded several players in the team who had seriously exceeded the standard physical examination, believing that this was the consequence of their indulgence during the Christmas holiday. At the same time, he also put forward requirements for all players who exceeded the standard. They must adjust their bodies during the training camp in Portugal, otherwise no one would want to play.

Ronald Koeman has always been strict in the army, and everyone in the team respects him very much, so naturally he dare not be careless at all.

On the first day of the training camp, the team focused more on adjustment and recovery, with the goal of allowing everyone to gradually enter the state of preparing for training camp.

Since Ajax played well in the first half, the results of the Champions League, Eredivisie and Dutch Cup were basically satisfactory, and the management also hoped to maintain the stability of the first team lineup, so they would not consider transfer signings during the winter break.

In addition, Van Gaal has reached an agreement with core players in the team such as Trabels, Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate, and they have also promised to concentrate on playing for Ajax before the end of this season, so players will basically not be sold throughout the winter break.

This stability is also reflected in the emotions and mentality of the team's players on the first day.

It is worth mentioning that on the roster of the team's winter training camp this time, players such as Babel, Demoor, Maduro and Lindegren from the second team were also selected. They will all train with the team throughout the whole process and be inspected by the first-team coaching team.

These players were obviously a little embarrassed when they met Yang Yang. Half a month ago, they were all teammates on the same starting line, and Babel even led Yang Yang. But who would have thought that half a month later, Yang Yang had entered the first team and gained a foothold, and at the same time became famous in Dutch football.

This made Babel, who had always disliked Yang Yang, very depressed.

The day before the Ajax training camp, Dutch media revealed that Collins John, who played for Twente, officially transferred to Fulham, with a net worth of 600,000 euros.

The 18-year-old African-Dutch striker made his name at the beginning of the season, breaking the youngest goal record in the Eredivisie. He was not refreshed by Yang Yang until the end of the year. He scored nine goals in the first half of the 18-round league, and performed very well, attracting Fulham's attention.

Since he and Twente still had the original youth training camp contract, Fulham was able to buy the famous Hope Star in the Eredivisie at a relatively low price.

After Collins John, many media also diverted their attention and paid attention to Yang Yang.
