Back to Ajax?

Yang Yang really thought about it, and he had thought so for a long time.

There is a tradition in European football called falling leaves returning to the roots.

Many big-name stars like to return to their parent team to retire, and Ajax is Yang Yang's parent team.

So, for a long time, Yang Yang really thought that if he couldn't play in the top European league, he would go back to Ajax to retire. I believe Ajax would definitely welcome him.

Of course, the premise is that he must make huge concessions in terms of salary, otherwise, with his current salary, Ajax cannot afford to sell it.

But later, this kind of thought became weaker. He really didn't think about why it was weaker.

But now, Van der Sar suddenly mentioned that Yang Yang missed his green years when he was in Ajax.

His love with Su Ye started in Ajax, his deep friendship with Ibrahimovic, Sneider, Fermuren and others also started in Ajax, and his football career started in Ajax...

This team has so many and so beautiful memories for him.

But if he really wants to go back, can he go back?

...

Van der Sar didn't know what he said had caused huge waves in Yang Yang's heart. He didn't think about what Yang Yang would agree or promise. He was more of a wish.

If Yang Yang is willing to return to Ajax, it will definitely be able to greatly revive Ajax's football market, rekindle the passion of Ajax fans, and make the city of Amsterdam crazy for Ajax again.

Only Yang Yang has such appeal and influence!

"Over the past few years, we have experienced many ups and downs. The management, coaching staff and the team have been turbulent and their performance has also fluctuated. It has not been until recent years that we learned from our mistakes and have made up our minds to reform and reorganize, and began to recruit successful players who have gone out of the team to return."

"We all hope to help Ajax rise again and stand on the top of Europe again. We all miss those years back then. Although we all know that this is impossible, it is all our wonderful memories."

Van der Sar's words were sincere and resonated with Yang Yang.

He was missing the years, so why didn’t Van der Sar and others?

Over the years, many celebrities have returned to Ajax, from Ronald Koeman and Van Basten to later Debor, Borgkamp, ​​Orvimas, Davis and Van der Sar, etc.

Today, Ajax is basically all these former stars who are operating and operating. Debor is the team's head coach, Borgkamp is the assistant coach, and Orvimas, Davis and Van der Sar are all members of the management technical team.

"To be honest," Van der Sar looked at Yang Yang deeply, "We were really surprised and happy to learn that you were the chief assistant coach of Real Madrid. This is a very good exercise opportunity, but it is also an adventure."

Yang Yang nodded constantly, "Yes, I'm very hesitant, but Zidane and the management are both full of fistfulness, I decided to give it a try."

"This is very good." Van der Sar smiled, "whether success or not, it will be a valuable experience and wealth. If you consider yourself in the future, you can consider Ajax. This will be a very suitable platform for you, right?"

Yang Yang nodded in affirmation.

Whether it is a player or a head coach, Ajax is really a very suitable platform.

It is a giant family and is well-known all over the world, but it is hard to say it is a giant now. The key is that it has a certain advantage in the Eredivisie and faces competition from teams such as Eindhoven and even Feyenoord. It can often play in the Champions League. The coaching pressure is not big or small, and it is very valuable for training.

It can be said that such a team is really suitable for starting.

Especially for people like Yang Yang.

Of course, for Yang Yang, Ajax is suitable for starting, but for countless people who are determined to coach, Ajax's coaching position is likely to be their lifelong pursuit and desire.

This is the advantage of a legendary superstar like Yang Yang.

"I will consider it very seriously when I play for a few more years and retire in the future." Yang Yang nodded.

Van der Sar is also a cheerful person, and at the same time he cannot make any promises, because hiring a head coach is always a very rigorous thing. Even a legendary superstar like Yang Yang must not be hasty.

…………

…………

Yang Yang's conversation with Van der Sar did not attract anyone's attention.

At the Grimalti Convention Center, there are many people who talk like them, not to mention that they all have Ajax backgrounds.

Even Yang Yang himself didn't care. Although he was about to be twenty-nine years old, he didn't know how many years he would play, maybe two or three years, maybe more. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Soon, with the start of the lottery ceremony and the award ceremony, everyone threw away everything that happened before and focused on the draw of the Champions League group stage.

In recent years, the gap in strength between the Champions League teams has been gradually widening. Not only the wealthy and the non-wealthy clubs, but also the gap in strength is very large and very obvious even between traditional wealthy clubs.

For example, the Milanese two players in Serie A have obviously declined significantly, and Manchester United in the Premier League have also declined a lot, as well as Chelsea and Arsenal. These teams are very strong, but compared with teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, their strength is still much worse.

So much so that the draw has not yet begun, but everyone is unwilling to draw Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid's luck was not good. They drew Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, Donetsk miners in Ukraine and Malmö of Sweden. Malmö is Ibrahimovic's parent team, and the Swedish center debuted from this team.

In this group, the one who can really put competitive pressure on Real Madrid is Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.

This Ligue 1 team, backed by the Qatar consortium, has made great progress in recent years and has performed well. Last season, he played against Barcelona in the Champions League knockout round, and his overall strength is very fearful.

The Donetsk Miners are a veteran team of the Champions League. In the past few years, there have been many talents. The farthest ones are Dario Serner. Most of the recent productions are from Brazil, such as Manchester City's Fernandinho, Chelsea's William, and Douglas Costa, who just transferred to Bayern Munich this summer.

Perhaps because of the serious loss of personnel in recent years, the Donetsk miners have not been able to make up for the strong support in time, and their overall strength has declined, but they have rich experience in European wars. At the same time, Real Madrid's visit to Ukraine will be at the end of November, and it will be cold and cold weather at that time, which is also very terrible.

Therefore, facing such a team, Real Madrid cannot be careless no matter what.

On the contrary, Malmö of Sweden may find it difficult for this team to pose a threat to Real Madrid. I believe that as long as Real Madrid performs normally, it is not difficult to defeat the opponent, but you should not be careless either.

In general, this is a typical situation in the Champions League group stage with two strong and two weak, and Real Madrid's signing is in line with the rules.

For Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain is definitely a strong enemy, and the two-round showdown must be won. The biggest trouble for Donetsk miners and Malmö is often the climate and long journeys.

The Champions League is usually held in the middle of the week, whether it is Sweden or Ukraine, the journey is too far, which is a very unstable factor.

But no matter what, Real Madrid is still very confident in this group.

...

Compared with Real Madrid, Barcelona is much luckier. He drew Leverkusen, Roma and Borisov, which is a typical standalone team. Leverkusen and Roma are equally strong and are both teams in the four major leagues, but they cannot shake Barcelona's status. Therefore, Barcelona's signing luck is really good.

But the best is Chelsea, who drew Porto, Dynamo Kiev and Maccabi Tel Aviv, and none of the three teams could threaten the Blues. There was basically no big suspense in Chelsea's top ranking in the group.

As for other groups, the draw results are basically the same, which is basically the same as the draws in the Champions League group stage in the past few years. Most of them are strong and weak. The real focus of competition is still the competition between the top group and the third in the group. The former can have an advantage in the knockout round of the top 16, while the latter can play in the Europa League.

It is worth mentioning that in this year's Champions League group stage, a total of five teams participated. In addition to the top four in the league, there is also the UEFA Champions League champion Sevilla, which is the first time in the history of the Champions League.

Moreover, all of these five teams entered the group stage.

As for how many teams can stand out from the group stage, it depends on the competitiveness of La Liga teams.

In general, there is no problem with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Whether Sevilla and Valencia can qualify depends on their luck.

...

After the lottery was completed, the process entered the UEFA Awards Ceremony of the Year.

The first one to award was the best save of the year, and the result was Ter Stegen from Barcelona.

The German goalkeeper made a wonderful two-game save in the semi-finals against Bayern Munich, and performed very well, beating Courtois and Neuer as the best save for the season.

In terms of the best goals of the Champions League season, two of the three shortlisted goals were nominated by Yang Yang, namely the last two goals in the Champions League final, one was a long shot, the other was a direct free kick from 40 meters away, and the other was a goal given to Messi to score Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

In fact, many people believe that Yang Yang could have won three nominations, but in the end he gave one to Messi.

In the end, Yang Yang scored the final goal of the Champions League final, and the direct free kick from 40 meters away won the best goal of the season.

It can be said that this is well deserved!

After Yang Yang came on stage to receive the award for the recent goals of the season, the award ceremony also came to the finale of the big prize.
Chapter completed!
