With the arrival of the national team match day for two weeks, the club's international players rushed to the national team to participate in the competition.

Some are adult teams, some are youth teams.

After celebrating bringing back to the European Super Cup from Monaco, DeTok Most became extremely deserted.

Especially with the closing of the transfer market, Yang Yang did not transfer and leave Ajax as the outside world expected, which disappointed countless media reporters and fans.

They are all looking forward to Yang Yang going to the four major leagues, especially Chinese fans.

This will be the first Chinese player to play in a giant team in the top European leagues, which is highly anticipated.

Regarding the transfer, Yang Yang gave a brief explanation on his blog, saying that he was not ready yet.

Everyone knows that it is not that he cannot go to the four major leagues, but that he himself chooses not to go for the time being.

As for the reason, Wei Zhen, a famous reporter from the state television, explained in his blog, believing that Yang Yang was particularly cautious when choosing a team and had a very clear long-term plan for his career development.

After playing North Korea in June, the Chinese team successfully advanced to the World Cup.

The national team specially arranged two World Cup warm-up matches in September, with the purpose of continuing to work with the team's skills and tactics, and also inspecting players, especially some newcomers.

As early as after the World Youth Championship, Yang Yang had exchanged with Alihan and the national team leader Zhu in the Netherlands. He hoped to concentrate on playing for Ajax in the new season, strive for better and better performance in the Champions League in the new season, and gain more bargaining chips for his future career development.

Whether it was Alihan or Zhu, they all expressed their support for Yang Yang.

And this time in September's national team training, Yang Yang was not on the roster.

Not only him, but also foreign players such as Zheng Zhi from Mainz, Zhao Junzhe from Celtics, Feng Xiaoting from Feyenoord, Gao Lin from Alkmaar, Zhou Haibin from Benfica, Hao Junmin from Hamburg, etc. were not selected.

In October, the Chinese team will hold a training camp in Germany and will play two warm-up matches. Foreign players will work well with domestic players in these two games to prepare for next year's World Cup.

Whether it is the East Asian Games in November, the warm-up matches and the Asian Cup qualifiers next year, Yang Yang and other overseas countries will not be recruited to participate, which is also to enable overseas international players to gain a foothold in the club and play at the best.

In fact, there were no foreign internationals in the East Asian semi-finals in early August this year.

Without the national team competition task, Yang Yang did not return to China, but continued to stay in Amsterdam.

He still insisted on training at DeTok Most every day.

Winston Bogard and Luther Carroll also come to DeTok Most every day.

Sometimes friends will come to visit.

For example, Van Gaal.

"Ha, Louis, what wind blows you?"

At the corner of DeTok Most, when Yang Yang finished his whole day of training and turned around, he could not help laughing out loud when he saw Louis Van Gaal sitting silently in the corner of the wall, handing him a bottle of water from a distance.

"Long time no see, why are you here?" Yang Yang asked happily.

"Come here to spy on the information secretly." Van Gaal joked.

Alkmaar will face Ajax in the fifth round, which will be another tough battle in the new season.

Of course Yang Yang would not believe him, "Your opponent in the next round is Rosendal. If you want to spy, you shouldn't come to Detok Most."

Twist the cap and drink water. Soon, the bottle of water was gone.

Louis Van Gaal looked at the water in his hand, shook his head, and handed it on.

Yang Yang also took it honestly and unceremoniously, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Van Gaal was so happy that he exchanged two bottles of water for a meal, which was worth it.

"I heard that the club has given you two weeks of vacation, and you just need to return to the team with the international players. Why didn't you go home?" Van Gaal asked with a smile.

Yang Yang remembered his parents and relatives, and Su Ye, and shook his head and said, "It's quite inconvenient to go back."

Needless to say, my hometown is not easy to find gyms in third- and fourth-tier cities, so training will definitely be greatly affected.

As for Beijing, although it is possible to train, Yang Yang is on holiday when the national team is training and playing a warm-up match. So Yang Yang finally chose not to go back.

"Then you can also give yourself a holiday and have a good rest." Van Gaal said this, a trace of elders' care for the younger generation flashed through his eyes, "You haven't had a rest for three years, right?"

In the summer of 2003, Yang Yang represented Almele in the amateur invitational tournament, and then came to Ajax to participate in the genius day selection, and basically had no rest. In 2004, he participated in the Toulon Cup and then played in the Asian Cup, and he did not rest throughout the whole process.

Needless to say, this year, I played in the World Youth Championship after the World Cup qualifiers.

Sometimes when I think about it, time is really fast, and it has been three years in a blink of an eye.

"A few days ago, I went back to Almele." Yang Yang found a place next to Van Gaal and sat down and said softly.

Van Gaal nodded slightly. He knew clearly what this place meant to Yang Yang.

"I went to visit my uncle, and by the way to the previous club, and met my former teammates. Many of them are now the main players of the team and are fighting in the third-level league."

Yang Yang introduced his experiences and experiences in Almere, as if he was talking about a world that was not in the same time and space as him.

It was like when he was sitting on a bus and told Almere's teammates about the interesting stories about the Ajax star.

In fact, it is only more than 20 kilometers from the new city in southeast Amsterdam to Almere, and it takes about half an hour to drive. Yang Yang himself can't drive, otherwise it would be a problem to travel every day.

Where Van Gaal lives, it is more than an hour's drive from the Alkmaar Training Base.

This is too common in the Netherlands, and it is normal.

"It's been three years, this team has been fighting for the second half every year and failing every year." Van Gaal said with a wry smile.

He is also an old friend of John Rep, and he really can't say much about what happened to Almele.

There are too many teams like Almere.

To be honest, it must be worthy of sympathy, but that's what the professional league is.

It's like a pyramid. Everyone has sharpened their heads and wants to climb up, but if one goes up, one has to squeeze down. How can it be so easy?

Yang Yang's feelings are not entirely because of Almere's experience.

To be honest, he did not have a deep relationship with this team, but rather he was with some of his teammates back then.

Henk Dimmel, Nick and others performed better than him when they were in the Almere Youth Training Camp, but now their situation is completely different, especially when Yang Yang saw them, he felt that they had begun to be somewhat content with ordinary status quo.

He is twenty years old and still can't make it into the DPRK League, which is really a big blow to Almele.

"Mr. Rep said that if he can't rush in the new season, he will resign." Yang Yang said lightly.

Van Gaal nodded, "The failure to fight for B in succession will have a great blow to him and the pressure will be huge. Resigning may be a relief, and for him, it may not be a bad thing."

Yang Yang agreed with this statement because he felt that John Rep was obviously much older when he met this time.

"Sometimes, I feel very lucky. You know, my biggest wish back then was to stay in Almere and play in the first team. I never thought I could be able to reach this day."

Yang Yang turned his head, looked at Van Gaal, and said with a smile.

This is his deepest feeling.

He really felt particularly lucky, especially when he returned to Almere and saw the current situation of his former mentors and teammates, when these people looked at him with envy, even jealousy, but with an out of reach despair, he cherished everything he had now even more.

"You can get to where you are today, but what's more important is your diligence and hard work."

Van Gaal gently patted Yang Yang on the shoulder and said affirmatively.

When a person turns hard work and self-discipline, even self-abuse into a nearly instinctive habit, an incredible energy will burst out.

That's what Yang Yang is like.

"Your teammate in the national team, Gao Lin, has solid basic skills, excellent physical fitness, strong ability to hold balls on his back, very comprehensive characteristics, and no bad speed. But here, there is some missing things, which makes him obviously half a beat slower than his teammates in terms of competition or training."

Van Gaal pointed to his head, but he was definitely not saying that Gao Lin was not smart enough, but the wisdom of playing football.

Yang Yang could understand what Van Gaal said, just like when he was in the Almele Youth Team, he could not grab the ball from his teammates no matter what.

"He has a good understanding. Give him more time and opportunity. I believe he will reward you." Yang Yang helped Gao Lin speak.

Van Gaal laughed and said, "I know, otherwise, I won't sign him, but I won't tell him anything. I need to put some pressure on him to make him work harder and harder, and make him work harder, so that he can complete the transformation."

Training young players is Van Gaal's strength, and Yang Yang has no ability and has no right to comment.

In these games, Van Gaal did not just use Gao Lin as the center, but often asked him to play sidelines and even let him play midfielder. I believe this is also to allow him to integrate into the team faster and better.

As for when he can get enlightened, it depends on his own luck.

Van Gaal's performance is good now and can give him more patience, but once the team's performance has changed, if Gao Lin does not improve, the only one who will greet him next is probably the bench.

"Don't worry, I will help you supervise him." Yang Yang said with a smile.

Van Gaal didn't know where this guy was going to secretly remind him, but he didn't care.

He is the team's head coach and doesn't care what young players think at all. What he needs is the performance of the players.

As for Yang Yang, he will not interfere with Van Gaal's training of players. He just wants to give Gao Lin some encouragement and tips.
