Entering January, Ajax gathered again and the team went south to avoid the cold.

The winter break training site is still arranged in the small town of Lagush in Portugal, and the hotel is still the same hotel last year.

The only difference is that Ibrahimovic, who sat together with Landlords last year, was gone and gradually gained a foothold in the first team. Fermall, who played as the main player, became another one in the Iron Triangle.

However, Yang Yang basically didn't play cards and gave up his position to Heatinga or Sneider.

He is also facing the pressure of going to school this year. Although his parents didn't say anything, Yang Yang could guess in his heart that they still hoped that he could continue to go to school. In addition, Yang Yang himself also had the idea of ​​continuing to study, so he also took the opportunity to work hard.

Anyway, during the training camp, everyone was living in the same room, so it was hard for him to sleep directly, so it would be better to use it to study his homework.

In addition to studying, Yang Yang will also chat with domestic friends through the Internet.

The one who chats the most frequently is Su Xiaomei, who is also under pressure now.

Although Su Wenhong and his wife have promised her to take the Central Academy of Drama, it is not easy to get into the Central Academy of Drama, and they can't get into the Central Academy of Drama by just being pretty. They need more. So she has been working very hard recently and is still rehearsing a drama.

On the one hand, Wei Zheng was helping Yang Yang's father Yang Yongqiang busy with the company affairs, and on the other hand, he fulfilled what he said before, signing two heavy endorsement contracts for Yang Yang before the New Year, each with an eight-digit net worth.

Every year, Yang Yang can earn at least 50 million yuan by relying solely on domestic commercial endorsements. Coupled with Nike's sponsorship contract and Yang Yang's salary in Ajax, his annual income is already quite good.

Wei Zheng also revealed that many domestic companies and brands are interested in seeking cooperation with Yang Yang, but considering Yang Yang's instructions that he strictly controls and is still under negotiation.

The national teammate Zheng Zhi successfully transferred to Mainz, Bundesliga when the transfer market opened during the winter break in January.

The specific transfer fee was not disclosed to the public, but Zheng Zhi persuaded domestic clubs to release the person and also transitioned some of the benefits himself.

Mainz's young head coach Klopp was very satisfied with Zheng Zhi's joining and believed that he could greatly enhance Mainz's competitiveness. At the same time, he also said that the team's introduction of Zheng Zhi was not because of the Chinese market, but because of the purely competitive level.

In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if you think about it carefully.

Mainz is just a new team, so how can he have the ability to develop the Chinese market?

Zhao Junzhe also completed the transfer before the winter break and went to the Celtics of the Soviet Super League.

This Soviet Super League team was originally considered between two players, one was Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura who played for Regina, and the other was Zhao Junzhe who played for China.

After several twists and turns, and Regina was unwilling to let Shunsuke Nakamura go during the winter break, the Celtics finally chose Zhao Junzhe, who was younger and cheaper.

In this way, the entire central axis of the Chinese national team is controlled by international players, Yang Yang in the frontcourt, Shao Jiayi and Zhao Junzhe in the midcourt, and Zheng Zhi in the backcourt, which also makes domestic fans more excited.

Everyone believes that this national team is indeed capable of rushing out of Asia and into the World Cup again.

And the one who gave them the strongest confidence was Yang Yang.

During the training camp in Lagush, Ajax focused on tactical drills.

Among them, in addition to practicing the 433 formation that the team is good at, Ronald Koeman also trained another style of playing.

The goalkeeper position is basically controlled by young player Sterkrenberg, and veteran Hans Fonk serves as an important substitute.

On the back line, Maxwell on the left occupies the main force, which is no suspense. Felipe Louis is still young and it is still difficult to challenge Maxwell's position. Fermuren and Heatinga serve as central defenders.

Maikong on the right gradually returned to the main position with his condition in the second half of the first half, especially his tacit cooperation with Yang Yang on the offensive end, especially when he returned to the team after the Christmas holiday. The Brazilian right-back also took the initiative to propose to train more strength with Yang Yang, which shows his determination.

The difference between the two lineups is in the midfield.

One of the sets is mainly to control the offense, with Galassek or De Jong as the drag, Pinal and Sneider in the center, and the frontcourt tridents are Wesley Songk, Charles Tias and Yang Yang.

This is also the main lineup of the team in the first half of the season. Basically, as long as there are no personnel absent, this is the way of playing.

But the other set of playing styles is also 433, but the position has changed.

Galasek and De Jong were both midfielders, Sneider was in the center, and one person provoked the organization and pass the midfield.

Pinal on the left side of the frontcourt, Charlesteas was in the center, and Yang Yang was still playing on the right side.

Judging from this style of play alone, the latter lineup is more inclined to defensive counterattack.

Ronald Koeman mentioned in the introduction that the team mainly performed poorly in the first half of the Champions League, especially on the defensive end, which made the coaching staff feel it necessary to strengthen the team's midfield defense.

That being said, but the players on the team are still hotly discussing the coaching staff’s intentions.

Everyone vaguely sensed the coaches' dissatisfaction with Wesley Songk, especially in terms of scoring efficiency.

As the scorer with the greatest tactical support, Wesley Songk's goal-scoring efficiency is far less than Yang Yang, which is absolutely unreasonable, and the Belgian striker seems to be increasingly lacking in confidence.

Whether it is performance on the court or training off the court, Wesley Songk gradually gives people a feeling of losing confidence, losing the keen sense of goals on the court, and unable to create a threat.

The latter set of tactical playing rules obviously tilt the offensive score to the right, focusing on supporting Yang Yang.

Now no one doubts Yang Yang's strength, nor does anyone question his status in the team. Everyone believes that he is the most important player of Ajax, and it is natural for the coaching staff to arrange this.

The only thing that people are more worried about is that Yang Yangneng can’t take on this burden?

Van der Fate, Wesley Songk and others were all overwhelmed by the heavy pressure. Will Yang Yang be the next one?

After all, he is far younger than the two of them.

Yang Yang did not care too much about speculation from inside and outside the team.

During the training camp in Portugal, he always practiced hard, insisted on training morning and evening every day, and did not dare to relax at all.

Whether it was Van Gaal's previous words or Ronald Koeman's arrangements, it was like an incentive for him to work harder and work harder to improve himself.

Only by making himself stronger can he have enough strength to take on this burden.

At the same time, Ajax's technical team is also actively looking for suitable candidates in the transfer market, mainly to further strengthen the team's midfield.

"Galassek is thirty-two years old. Although he still performs well this season, his age is there."

In Yang Yang's room, Maxwell, a Pepsi-Tong, was sharing the news he found with Yang Yang and others.

"Maduro and Lindgren have both played on the first team's substitutes this season. Maduro's performance is still good, but it is still not reassuring enough. The club intends to introduce another young midfielder with good strength."

"Are there any specific goals?" Derong asked with concern.

Maxwell nodded, "One of them is the midfielder Demi Dezeu of the Eagles in the Dutch Second Division."

"Dzeu?" Everyone shook their heads, obviously they didn't know him.

Yang Yang frowned and thought, "I seem to have heard of him somewhere. He performed well, both offense and defense."

Soon, Yang Yang remembered that he seemed to mention this player while having dinner at Van Gaal's house. He heard that Alkmaar also fell in love with him, and the price was not expensive. After all, he was a player of the Dutch second team.

But Yang Yang will definitely not disclose Van Gaal's affairs.

"In addition to Dezeu, the club has also taken a fancy to another player, Tymoshchuk, who plays for the Ukrainian Donetsk miner. This 25-year-old defensive midfielder is at the golden age of his competitive career. He is very strong, but the price should not be cheap. It is said that the team has specially arranged for scouts to Ukraine to track him."

The Donetsk miners are also a strong team in Ukraine, but their performance has declined a bit in recent years and have not been able to participate in the Champions League. In terms of momentum and prestige, they are definitely not as good as the veteran giant Ajax, but Ukrainian teams are very rich.

If you want to poach such a player, Ajax must have to show sincerity, but what the Eredivisie team lacks the most is money.

"One other option is internal mining. Maduro has been included in the list of key cultivation in the second half of the season, and Belgian young player Jan Fertonghen may also be promoted to the first team."

Maduro is a highly praised rookie in the Ajax youth training camp. He is praised by many as Rijkaard II. However, this is just a reputation. His performance in the first team is still not stable enough, and he cannot shake the positions of De Jong and Galasek for the time being.

As for Belgian player Feltonheng is a backcourt all-rounder and can compete in multiple positions. After joining Ajax in 2003, he has been in the youth training camp, but before playing in the youth echelon, he was not selected by Van Basten to the second team until Yang Yang and Fermall were transferred to the first team.

Yang Yang is not familiar with Fertongheng, but this is also normal.

There are countless rookies from all over the world in the Ajax youth training camp. How could he know all of them?

But through Ajax's series of operations and the previous reminders from Van Basten and Van Gaal, Yang Yang clearly realized that his opportunity had indeed come.

What he needs to do most now is to show his best performance and convince all the coaching staff and technical teams, including Ronald Koeman, that they believe that they are capable of taking on the club's offensive responsibilities.

That night, after all the teammates returned to their rooms to rest, Yang Yang also entered the super training ground.

When he saw Lao Bing, his first words were...

"I think it's necessary for me to start learning the fourth star skill."

"Why?" Lao Bing asked lightly.
