That night, Yang Yang did not let Zheng Zhi stay in the hotel, but stayed directly at his house.

Odekerk is closer to the airport and easier to fly tomorrow.

As early as when he was in China, Zheng Zhi already knew from the media that Yang Yang had the habit of practicing every day, so the next morning, he also accompanied Yang Yang to get up early with great interest, and after dressing properly, he went out with him.

For juggling running, Yang Yang has long been familiar with it, almost an instinct.

As the best player in China, Zheng Zhi's basic skills and skills are also quite good, at first he could barely keep up with Yang Yang's speed, but soon, as the football became slippery, he had to slow down.

Especially later, with the physical consumption brought about by fast running, his technical movements began to lose shape, and he couldn't get up fast, but on the other hand, Yang Yang has always been very stable.

Looking at the ball, it seemed to have become one of Yang Yang's feet, and letting him toggle it like this, Zheng Zhi admired it in his heart.

That's the gap!

"It seems that I can only work harder to barely follow you." Zheng Zhi shook his head and said.

He is already 24 years old, and he has played professional football for so many years, but now he feels less than an 18-year-old rookie, as the first person in Chinese football, he deeply feels the huge gap between domestic football and European football.

"After you go back, are you sure to persuade the club to release you?" Yang Yang slowed down and accommodated Zheng Zhi.

"No problem, they promised me before to let me go abroad to stay abroad."

"That's fine, as long as the club doesn't put obstacles." Yang Yang said reassuringly.

Zheng Zhi shook his head, "I have to go to the Football Association to walk around when I go back, but I believe they won't make it difficult, after all, from the Asian Cup to the present, the outstanding performance of the national team is inseparable from the excellent performance of foreign international players, especially you." ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhi couldn't help but look at the young teammate next to him again.

At the age of eighteen, he has become the goal of countless professional players in China.

He is now the star of Ajax in the Eredivisie.

Maybe that's not enough to be graphic.

At present, among the Asian players, the strongest Japanese and Korean players play for PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord in the Eredivisie respectively, but whether it is Park Ji-sung or Lee Young-pyo, or Shinji Ono, they can only play role players at most.

But Yang Yang is different, he is now a popular star at Ajax, and he is only eighteen years old.

The winner of the Champions League final, the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, these two honors have guaranteed the lower limit of Yang Yang's career, as long as he continues to work hard, his future achievements will definitely be the highest peak in Asian history.

In contrast, whether it is Mainz in the Bundesliga where Zheng Zhi is about to play, or Celtic in the Soviet Super League where Zhao Junzhe is going, Serie A Reggina where Shunsuke Nakamura plays, or Manchester City in the Premier League where Son Jihai plays, they are not as good as Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord, the three traditional giants of the Eredivisie.

Although Regina, Mainz and Manchester City are all teams in the four major leagues, they are all in the middle and lower reaches, not to mention the Champions League, and they can't even play in the UEFA Cup.

For example, Ajax, who stopped in the group stage of this year's Champions League, is still highly regarded for their performance and can continue to play in the UEFA Cup after being eliminated, which makes them more influential than teams such as Manchester City and Mainz, although they are not in the big four leagues.

The agent Guido Albers sketched an advanced picture for Zheng Zhi.

With Yang Yang's current status and popularity in Ajax, if he practices well, the next step is the giants of the four major European leagues, and he must be going to the main force.

…………

After running three laps, Zheng Zhi was already tired and panting, but Yang Yang's face was as usual.

When I got home, I happened to meet Winston Bogard bringing breakfast.

Last night, he was instructed by Yang Yang, and Bogard prepared one for Zheng Zhiduo.

For this kind of breakfast with balanced nutrition, but the taste is really not flattering, Zheng Zhi is also very unaccustomed to eating it.

When he was in the national team before, Zheng Zhi had already noticed that Yang Yang paid great attention to eating habits, but now that he looks at it, he has to say that Yang Yang during the national team has exceeded the standard.

"You eat like this every day now?" Zheng Zhi asked.

Yang Yang nodded, "Yes, I hope to have a better performance in the second half." ”

Zheng Zhi smiled bitterly.

Such a restrained diet is absolutely unimaginable in China, even Hertha Berlin and Mainz, which he once tried out, have never seen it, so it can only be said that Yang Yang has really made a big decision this time.

"They say that the human body is like an upside-down stalactite, and through scientific training, moderate diet, and self-disciplined life and rest, small droplets of water can be continuously refined from this stalactite."

"And our state is like putting a bowl under the stone tip, catching the small droplets of water that fall down, how much we can catch, whether we can fill this bowl, it depends on whether the previous refining stage can endure loneliness and hard work."

Zheng Zhi listened with great admiration.

Of course, this is not difficult to understand, but whether it can be done is another matter.

Yang Yang is only eighteen years old, but he already understands these truths, and he can still put them into practice, which is the most rare.

…………

…………

After coming to Detokmost, Yang Yang specially accompanied Zheng Zhi to visit around.

Ajax is a traditional European giant, and the facilities at the training base are very well-developed, especially the recent indoor football stadium and analysis center in cooperation with Adidas, although it is still under construction, but it is already ahead of other European teams.

Zheng Zhi had tried out with Mainz at Hertha Berlin before, but when he entered the training base of Ajax, he was still very impressive.

He has also done strength training in China, but whether it is the equipment in the gym or the professionalism of the physical fitness coach, it is far inferior to Ajax, which also makes Zheng Zhi further feel the gap at home and abroad.

Equipment and equipment, as long as you have money, you can quickly catch up, but the professionalism of the physical fitness coach, this is not something that can catch up overnight, especially after watching Bogard's guidance to Yang Yang, Zheng Zhi admires it even more.

And what he admires the most is Yang Yang's determination.

Being able to take a vacation for everyone in the team, he resolutely hired Bogard as his personal coach out of his pocket, and insisted on practicing hard every day, which shows that Yang Yang is indeed determined.

It's hard for such a player not to succeed.

Yang Yang also took the opportunity to ask Bogard to guide Zheng Zhi a few times, but because Zheng Zhi was a newcomer and was not familiar with it, Bogard did not conduct in-depth counseling, but only corrected some wrong details.

But this alone is enough to benefit Zheng Zhi a lot.

Sometimes, a word from a professional is enough to enlighten people.

…………

…………

In the evening of the same day, Yang Yang personally sent Zheng Zhi to Amsterdam International Airport.

When the two separated, Yang Yang also specially told him that he must notify him as soon as possible after the trip, and Zheng Zhi agreed.

In the following days, Yang Yang still lived a self-disciplined and boring training life.

Every day is very regular, and it can even be said that there is no change.

But it was in this almost masochistic training that he could feel his body gathering strength.

It was a wonderful feeling that could not be described in words, and he really felt that the water in the bowl under the stalactites was gathering more and more, which made him more and more motivated to practice.

On Christmas Day, Winston Bogard had a two-day holiday, and Yang Yang was picked up by his uncle Shen Ming to Almere.

Cousins Shen Yuzhu and Wei Zheng were not there, and Shen Ming and his wife stayed alone in Almere, if Yang Yang hadn't come to visit them from time to time, their days would have been very boring.

In the conversation, his uncle Shen Ming revealed that when Shen Yuzhu and Wei Zheng stabilized their careers in China and got married, they planned to sell the Chinese restaurant and return to China to retire.

"It's good to retire, uncle, the Chinese restaurant is too tiring." Yang Yang is also strongly in favor.

He believes that his uncle has also made money in the Netherlands over the years, and it is enough to return to China to invest in a small business.

The day after Christmas, Van Gaal personally drove to Almere to pick up Yang Yang and invite him to his home for dinner.

This guy has been in a good mood lately.

AZ Alkmaar performed well in the first half of the season, although there was a heavy defeat to PSV Eindhoven, but Van Gaal contributed to the final round of the comeback to the top and win the halfway.

This also made everyone feel that Van Gaal's sword is not old again.

If Van Gaal is the most eye-catching coach in the first half of the Eredivisie, then Yang Yang is the most eye-catching rookie.

At the age of eighteen, in his first season as a regular player, with eleven goals and eight assists, there is no need to say much about how eye-catching this report card is, and what is even more incredible is that he also missed four rounds of national team competition.

If it is said that in the second half of last season, Yang Yang made rapid progress after frequently coming on as a substitute, then this season's Yang Yang's progress is like riding a rocket, incredibly fast.

"You Chinese have a saying, accumulate thick and thin, your basic skills are now more and more solid, stopping the ball is getting better and better, all kinds of shortcomings have basically made up, the only slight deficiency should be regarded as your scoring ability."

"Score?" Opamel Truss shook his head and smiled, "Luis, he's at the top of the scorer list right now. ”

"The data doesn't make sense." Van Gaal shook his head, "You have to look at Yang Yang's number of shots, he is in the top ten scorers, or even among the top fifteen players, the number of shots on goal is the least, and the number of goals is because he is very efficient, and he can't get his feet if he doesn't have a good chance, which is what he needs to improve." ”

"Why is this happening?" Truss asked.

"There are two reasons, one is the club's tactical problem, and the other is Yang Yang's own problem."

Yang Yang nodded, "Isn't this good?" ”

'Depending on the situation, if you continue to play a role like Van der Meyde, that's a very rare advantage. When Van Gaal said this, he deliberately paused and looked into Yang Yang's eyes.

"But if you really want to take the flag from Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, you'll have to be more aggressive and bold."

Yang Yang was persuaded and nodded silently.

It seems that it is time to improve his shooting ability as soon as possible.
