1602 Glowing Boy

On the evening of May 7, Cruyff Stadium in Amsterdam.

When the referee whistled, he had already been ambushing the sidelines. The Ajax players and staff who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the field frantically, and everyone cheered and celebrated happily.

Two to zero!

This is the final result of the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals!

Ajax defeated Barcelona 2-0 with Yang Yang's pass and shot and Jovic's goal.

With a total score of 7 to 0 in two rounds, Ajax brought Barcelona an extremely painful lesson!

The entire Cruyff Stadium was immersed in a joyful ocean. More than 50,000 fans, players on the scene, and club employees were celebrating in vain. Even countless fans squatting in front of the TV were also cheering for Ajax!

What an amazing feat to eliminate Barcelona 7 to zero!

Yang Yang, who was replaced early, also hugged and celebrated with assistants such as Xavi Alonso and Pintus in front of the home team coach's seat.

This is an epic victory, and it will also be a victory that will be recorded in the history of Ajax!

Even, to some extent, the achievements Ajax has achieved this season are more difficult and legendary than any period in history.

...

"We counted the transfer value of Ajax's players. Frankie De Jong, Van der Beck, and De Rigt are from their own youth training. Although Neres, Sancho and Ndongbele are also considered Ajax's youth training, they joined the team in the middle."

"Ajax's transfer investment in this team is no more than 15 million euros, but now, even the lowest-value player in this team has a transfer valuation of more than 30 million euros. What an amazing achievement!"

"In contrast, the transfer fee of Barcelona's entire team is dozens of times that of Ajax. Players such as Coutinho, Dembele have spent more than 100 million yuan in Barcelona's transfer fee, which makes Barcelona the most valuable team in European football."

"From Camp Nou to Cruyff Stadium, Ajax won two games and used iron-like facts to tell the world that football is not just one way to play. With its strong youth training and outstanding ability to train players, Ajax once again made it to the Champions League final."

After the game, the live TV commentator was obviously very impressed by Ajax and made a long comment.

"I believe many people still remember that at the World Football Awards Ceremony last year, Yang Yang publicly accused many European football teams of unhealthy management methods. He said that he saw many big teams blindly pile up stars, often with transfer fees of tens of millions or even over 100 million."

"He saw that many European mid- and lower-level teams were in trouble, on the verge of bankruptcy, or even bankruptcy. He felt incomprehensible. On one side, he kept waving the checkbook, but on the other side, he was in business difficulties. This was unreasonable!"

"So, he chose to return to Ajax, and he returned to the starting point of his career. He wanted to prove something with practical actions. He wanted to tell everyone that achieving results does not necessarily require blindly building up stars, and cultivating young players can also achieve success. This is even the best way to develop long-term healthy world football."

"At that time, almost everyone scoffed at Yang Yang's remarks. They thought it was idealistic, unrealistic, to put it nicely, to think that Yang Yang has ideals and goals, to put it bluntly, to think that Yang Yang was doing nothing without desire and no desire, and there were even many football practitioners, the media and fans waiting to see him make a fool of himself."

"But in just over half a year, when we look back and listen to what Yang Yang said at the London Awards Ceremony last year, will we have a different and deeper feeling? Will we have a deeper understanding of Yang Yang and his Ajax?"

The live TV broadcast even specially found the award speech at the FIFA award ceremony held by Yang Yang in London last year.

At that time, Yang Yang didn't dare to imagine that he could lead Ajax to this day, but looking back today, everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Yang even more respectful.

Those loud and powerful words seemed ideal at the time, but now it sounds so exciting because Yang Yang was only one step away from realizing it.

Or, Yang Yang has achieved it!

For Ajax, he has already won the Champions League final, no matter whether he can win the championship in the end!

"There is no doubt that in the past decade, world football has been in the era of Yang Yang."

"Last summer, when Yang Yang announced his transfer to Ajax, many people thought that the era that belonged to Yang Yang was over."

"But now, we find that the era that belongs to Yang Yang has just begun!"

...

The happiest person at the scene was the more than 50,000 Ajax fans.

They were all shouting Yang Yang's name frantically in the stands, and they were calling out to the hero in their hearts.

It was Yang Yang who returned to Ajax without hesitation last year and led this team that was trapped in the quagmire, step by step to revival, broke the curse of many years, and even reached the Champions League final with an astonishing advantage.

A year ago, when he came back, all Ajax fans, even if they were optimistic, could not believe that they would be today.

But in just one year, Yang Yang created a miracle in this team!

When Yang Yang and all the Ajax players walked to the stands one after another and bowed to the fans at the scene to thank him, they were calling his name with all their might.

There are countless people calling his name in the entire Cruyff Stadium, the entire Amsterdam night sky, the entire Netherlands, and even in every corner of the world.

Yang Yang!

...

Van Gaal's turbid and old eyes were moist.

Although he experienced all this personally, he still couldn't believe it.

He didn't know how Yang Yang did, but he knew that Yang Yang had created a miracle again.

It was like that night fifteen years ago, when everyone had given up, and even Van Gaal himself gave up hope, he saved Ajax and created a miracle through his unremitting efforts.

Fifteen years ago, everyone said that Ajax's last Champions League belonged to Ronald Koeman, Ibrahimovic, Van der Fate, and Sneijder...

But time slowly baptized this honor and washed away all the bad luck, everyone discovered that the Champions League belonged to Yang Yang.

At this moment, looking at Yang Yang who was waving to him in the stadium, Van Gaal suddenly wanted to cry.

He remembered that day sixteen years ago, when he was in the trough of his life, he saw a boy practicing football against a mottled wall in the old park in Almere.

At that time, Van Gaal felt that the young man who was sweating profusely would shine.

Sixteen years later, Yang Yang is still like the glowing boy back then!

Some people say that the greatest achievement of his career was to train an Ajax team.

But Van Gaal felt that from beginning to end, the most proudest and greatest achievement in his life was to discover a player named Yang Yang!

...

"Louis, Louis, Louis?"

Rosawood, a senior Barcelona leader who led the team to the Netherlands, looked at Van Gaal who suddenly fell into silence. He noticed that Van Gaal was a little excited, his eyes were red, as if he wanted to cry, which made him very puzzled.

Very good, why do you suddenly want to cry?

Could it be that the price you gave is too attractive?

"You keep talking." Van Gaal calmed down, calmed down, and looked at Rosawood again.

The Barcelona senior executives were clamoring all night, with only one goal, to sign Ajax's player.

He showed enough sincerity and gave enough bargaining chips in terms of feelings and money.

You know, the relationship between Barcelona and Ajax has always been very special. From Michels to Cruyff to Van Gaal, it is truly a lineage, which makes both teams always have a complex of blood thicker than water.

"100 million euros! Louis, we are willing to offer Frankie DeJong a transfer fee of 100 million euros!" Rosawood repeated what he had just said.

But what surprised him was that this time Van Gaal did not lose his composure and even seemed a little unmoved.

Are you wondering whether Barcelona can afford the money?

"Please rest assured that we have prepared a detailed fundraising plan, and there are many banks willing to lend us. You know, we are a membership system and have natural advantages in this regard, so we will do our best to sign Frankie De Jong and De Rigt this summer, and we are determined to win!"

Rosawood made himself seem as confident as possible, and even in the end, he believed it a little.

Van Gaal stared at Rosawood for a while, and after seeing it, Barcelona's senior executives felt a little nervous, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, we will not negotiate player transfers with any team until the end of the season."

Rosawood was a little surprised. Is this reply too official?

We are a friendly partner of Barcelona and Ajax. Your home stadium is Cruyff Stadium. This name is the godfather of Barcelona. For this relationship, do we belong to any team?

"Maybe you don't hear it very clearly. I'll say it again, we..."

"No, no, no, Rosawood, I heard it very clearly. My reply is, after the season is over, the most important and only thing for our team now is to strive for the Champions League."

Van Gaal interrupted Rosawood without hesitation, he had such qualifications and aura.

You know, when Van Gaal coached Barcelona, ​​Rosawood didn't know where he was.

"Also, I want to remind you that just two days ago, we just rejected Manchester City's 100 million euros offer, and the same reason is that we will not negotiate before the end of the season."

Rosawood was completely confused.

I'll go, when will Manchester City offer a price?

He suddenly felt that the distance between Barcelona and Frankie DeJong seemed to be getting further and further.

But didn’t Yang Yang say that?

He believes that players' huge transfers that often exceed 100 million yuan are unreasonable and unhealthy. Why does his team have such a high price when transferring?

Van Gaal looked at the Barcelona senior executive coldly, feeling secretly amused.

That was Yang Yang’s ideal and his pursuit!

As Ajax manager or technical director, Van Gaal and Van der Sar respect and recognize Yang Yang's ideals and pursuits.

But now we are talking about transfers!
