The competition takes place on Saturday, and the training on Friday is mainly targeted tactical drills.

Ajax's second-round opponents, Roosendahal, were not strong and were able to avoid relegation last season, not because of their good performances, but because Graafschap and Den Bosch were even worse.

Therefore, in the away game against Rosendaal, the pressure is not great, whether it is training or the mentality of the players is relatively relaxed.

As is customary, the team still checks into a hotel on the night before the game.

Yang Yang is no longer the inexperienced hairy boy he was at the beginning, he has already packed up, and he doesn't need to go home again.

He practiced until nightfall, when he went back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes.

When he walked out of the locker room with his duffel bag, he saw Luther Carroll waiting outside.

"I knew you were still there, so I'll send you there."

Yang Yang smiled, did not refuse, and accompanied Luther Carroll to the parking lot to pick up the car.

The hotel where Ajax is staying is near the Amsterdam Arena, which is also a short walk away, but you have to drive around.

Yang Yang vaguely guessed that Luther Carroll must have something to say to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he got into the car and lit the fire, Luther Carroll directly expressed his intention.

"This afternoon, we had another hour-long meeting with the technical team to focus on the selection of the captain of the team."

Yang Yang listened silently, he knew that he was also one of the parties.

As early as the afternoon, many people, including Vermaelen and McConn, secretly said that Yang Yang should work harder, after all, it is also an honor to be the captain of Ajax.

Heitinga was obviously taken down, and Yang Yang stepped forward after that, with his status in the team, absolutely no one dared to say anything.

"This is the captain, Zlatan tried everything possible to grab it, and now you just need to stretch out your hand and you can get it, why don't you fight for it?" At the time, Fermaren persuaded him so hard.

But Yang Yang has his own plans.

"The technical department and the coaching staff are more inclined to have you in the role." Luther Carroll said.

Yang Yang was quite surprised, he originally thought that the technical department should not recognize him so much, after all, Ajax is still a club that attaches great importance to the youth lineage, how could he choose him?

"Sneijder still lacks something, Heitinga has something more, if the two can reconcile it, I believe many things don't need to be so troubled." Luther Carroll smiled wryly.

Yang Yang nodded, "I'm afraid my qualifications are not enough." ”

After all, he is only eighteen years old, and he has only been in the team for two years, so he has indeed performed very well, but the captain is the leader of the team, and he cannot be a good performer, and he also needs a qualification.

This is also Yang Yang's weakest and weakest.

Before, Ibrahimovic was clamoring to fight with Van der Vaart, and everyone thought that he couldn't compete because he was neither a youth academy or a lacked qualifications, so naturally no one could choose him.

Now that the coaching staff has won Heitinga, if Yang Yang rushes out to fight for himself, what will several local players who originally had a good relationship with Yang Yang think? What if the mishandling of the situation leads to conflicts within the team, repeating the previous conflict between Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic?

The reason why Yang Yang has always refused to fight is because he knows very well that the captain is just a false name to him.

If you get it, of course, it is a little plus, but if you can't get it, it won't have any effect on him.

In his own plan, he wants to perform in the Champions League this season, as long as he plays a result, he will choose to leave, but if now because of this captain's name, it affects the unity within the team, and then affects the results, is it necessary?

Yang Yang felt that this was more than worth the loss!

"We all know that this is your only weak link, but to be honest, we all agree that no one is better suited than you at this stage, and I am aware of your concerns." Luther Carroll laughed.

Yang Yang nodded, he knew that many things could not be hidden from Luther Carroll.

The assistant head coach is too familiar with the team and knows everyone very well, and that's his job.

"So, we're going to have a poll tonight and everyone will elect the captain."

Yang Yang nodded, and it was up to everyone to elect the captain, which was the most suitable choice at the moment.

No matter who is in charge, there is no need to say.

"I just want to tell you, don't rush to make a statement when the time comes, wait and see."

Yang Yang nodded in agreement, which had no effect on him.

If everybody decides that Sneijder or someone else will be in charge, then he will do it well.

After all, it doesn't matter to him whether he is the captain or not.

What he wants most is for the team to stay together, to be able to work together and do well in the Champions League, and he is using this step to jump as hard as he can.

That's what he really wants.

Upon arrival at the hotel, Luther Carroll dropped him off at the door and drove himself to the parking lot.

After Yang Yang entered the hotel, he came to his exclusive room familiarly.

As a result, his roommate Sneijder hadn't arrived yet, which surprised him a little.

"He's actually already there." Fermaren suddenly appeared at the door.

"Huh?" Yang Yang packed his things.

"He went to the boss."

Yang Yang was slightly stunned, and then his brows furrowed, but he quickly calmed down.

He knows Sneijder, he looks shy on the outside, but he is very strong on the inside, and if he really wants to fight for this captaincy, then he will definitely give it his all, and in fact, he does have this ability.

Because he is the most rooted descendant of Ajax and is the core of the team's midfield.

Even if he really wanted to, Yang Yang didn't mind supporting him.

"You're really not worried at all?" Vermaren asked worriedly.

Yang Yang smiled faintly, "You have always been very clear about what I want, and the most important thing now is that the team remains united." ”

"But I think you're more suitable, and I'm not convinced by anyone else, so I'll obey you." Vermaren said.

Yang Yang smiled and shook his head, "Will you obey me?" ”

"Really."

"And you're still saying you're going to kill me all day long?" Yang Yang asked with a smile.

"That's ...... That's because...... I see you as a goal to strive for. ”

"You mean, I'll be the captain of this goal first, and you'll be the one later?"

"If you have the chance, you definitely want to be, I don't believe you don't want to."

"Of course it's best to have, but I don't care."

Fermaren scratched his head in annoyance, "At this point, I wish you could be as unreasonable as Zlatan. ”

"Go, get out of here." Yang Yang scolded with a smile

Ibrahimovic: That's pretty unreasonable?

He's just very unreasonable, right?

Just as the two were laughing, the door to the room opened.

Sneijder came in from outside, and when he saw Yang Yang, he was somewhat embarrassed.

"Hi, Wesley." Yang Yang greeted him warmly as usual, "You're a little later than usual." ”

Snead smiled awkwardly, "I'm going to talk to the boss about something." ”

Yang Yang nodded, and didn't ask what the hell was going on, after packing up his things, he set up his laptop and prepared to start studying tomorrow's opponent Rosendahl.

Although the opponent is not strong, but in the end it is also the Eredivisie, so it must be studied and foolproof.

"The boss just said, let's go to the meeting after we pack up." Sneijder spoke suddenly.

With that, he had already put his things away, turned around and walked to the other room to inform the others.

"Look, I'll just say, he's starting to adjust to his new role as captain now." Fermaren complained to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang shook his head and smiled.

This person, sure enough, is close to relatives.

In fact, Yang Yang usually has a really good relationship with Sneijder, after all, they are roommates.

Because of Yang Yang, the relationship between Fermaelen and Sneijder is also very good, and they often fight landlords together, but when it comes to dividing each other, Fermaelen still chooses to support Yang Yang.

Of course, this is just a battle for the captain's armband, and it is not a big deal.

…………

…………

Walking into the conference room one after the other, Yang Yang's face was as usual.

Everyone was obviously paying attention to him, and everyone wanted to dig something out of his face, but Yang Yang was always smiling, as usual, and he didn't see anything unusual.

After greeting the people around them one by one, Yang Yang and Fermaren sat down between Sneijder and Maxwell.

Soon, Ronald Coman and Luther Carroll also walked into the conference room.

The entire conference room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked up at Ronald Koeman, the head coach standing in front of them, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Ronald Koeman's opening speech was mainly about the current situation of the team, saying that due to Heitinga's red card suspension, the team needs to choose a new captain to carry out his duties.

Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone had basically heard that the coaching staff was going to remove Heitinga as captain.

Heitinga had apparently known the outcome for a long time, so there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"In the past, the selection of captains was generally appointed by the coaching staff, but now that we have entered a new era, many rules need to be changed to adapt to the thinking of young people now."

When Ronald Coman said this, there was a burst of laughter in the room.

Ajax is still predominantly young.

"So, this time we decided to have all the players in the first team vote to elect the new captain on the pitch, and you can now be the first to come forward and propose the best captain in your mind."

As soon as Ronald Koeman's words fell, there was a stir in the conference room.

Vote for the captain?

This is new.

The most famous vote for captain came in 2004, when Barcelona captain Luis Enrique retired, and they were also difficult to choose, and the final decision was to vote for the election, and Puyol was unanimously elected as the undisputed captain of the team.

This news also sparked heated discussions in the world media at the beginning.

It's just that I didn't expect that now Ajax is also keeping pace with the times and adopting this way of voting.

Everyone knows that Maxwell has no intention of running, he should support Yang Yang, and the real election strength is Yang Yang and Sneijder.

As soon as Ronald Koeman finished speaking, Sneijderhodi stood up.

Everyone in the audience was amazed.

Is this to self-recommend yourself?
