When the Ajax bus arrived at the Shen Kee Chinese restaurant in Almere, it was already empty.

Yang Yang chartered the entire Shen Kee Chinese Restaurant, which was specially used to entertain Ajax's players.

He even asked his uncle Shen Ming to spend a day preparing a variety of Chinese dishes that the players could eat, just to provide a sumptuous dinner for the Ajax stars.

As for Almere's Shen Kee Chinese restaurant, the players have more or less learned about it from the media.

Everyone knows that this was opened by Yang Yang's uncle.

Before, Ibrahimovic and others often accompanied Yang Yang to eat here, and after he went back, he also had a big meal in the locker room, Sneijder and others came to taste it, and they all thought it tasted good.

So, when Yang Yang proposed to invite everyone to dinner, everyone strongly agreed with Sneijder's proposal for Chinese food.

Only Maxwell wanted to continue eating barbecue at his house, and was hit by everyone.

Due to the confidentiality of the itinerary, there are no outsiders to disturb them, even if there are a few guests who are going to come to the restaurant to eat occasionally, they will not come forward to disturb, just take pictures from a distance, and watch Ajax walk up and down into the Chinese restaurant.

Shen Ming is undoubtedly the busiest person, and Yang Yang also spontaneously took on the role of greeting everyone.

Before, he was a waiter in a restaurant, but now he is no stranger to his old profession, and they are all familiar teammates, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is also warm.

Ronald Koeman did not come, because he felt that his presence would only make the players more uncomfortable, but he strongly supported Yang Yang's organization of his teammates' dinner, mainly because the atmosphere of the team in the recent period was indeed a little wrong.

Finally, he ushered in a week's rest, and he planned to give the team two days off so that the players could have a good rest.

Soon, when the dishes were served one by one, the players had already lost their minds and feasted on them.

For Chinese food, most of them have not tasted it yet, some are unfamiliar, and some are even more resistant.

But over the years, Shen Ming has been able to gain a foothold in Almere and make a name for himself, not only because of his several special Chinese dishes, but also because he has developed several dishes that have Chinese characteristics but at the same time fit the taste of Europeans.

Therefore, Yang Yang is not worried that his teammates will be unaccustomed to it.

In fact, there is no one who is not accustomed to eating.

They are all players, and between eating and drinking, the topic is naturally inseparable from football.

Yang Yang conveyed what he learned during the meeting with the coaching staff to the players, mainly so that everyone can understand the current situation of the team more clearly and avoid some misjudgments or resistance.

Communicating with the players and the coaching staff is also the responsibility of the team captain.

"We're in a pretty good situation right now, and I believe there will be a lot of improvement in the future, and it can even be said to be the best in the last two or three years."

Yang Yang's words have been recognized by many old players in the team.

Needless to say, last year, Ajax played a mess in the Eredivisie and the Champions League, especially in the Champions League, where they suffered a humiliating defeat in the second game of the group stage with a 4-0 defeat to Bayern.

As for the year before last, that is, the year when the team finally counterattacked to win the championship, the results were also relatively average, losing to AC Milan in the first round, and then Ajax also hit a wall everywhere in the league and the Champions League, and the situation was worrying.

In contrast, this year's situation is the best in recent years.

So far, Ajax are unbeaten on two fronts and beat Liverpool to win the UEFA Super Cup.

When it comes to AC Milan, Yang Yang thinks of Kaka.

'When the Champions League group stage was drawn, Kaka sat in front of me.

Yang Yang smiled and told his teammates about what happened to him at that time.

"He asked me who the team he didn't want to bump into the last time, and guess what, what did I say?"

"Who?" Sneijder asked with a smile.

Everyone was curious.

"I said, I don't mind running into any team because I believe that no matter who we meet, we have enough quality to compete with the opposition." Yang Yang said confidently.

"Well said!"

"That's right, that's great!"

The teammates were all young people, and they all responded.

"Later, Kaka asked me again, which team would you like to meet the most?"

Everyone looked at Yang Yang this time, waiting for him to give an answer.

"I told him, AC Milan!"

Everyone was a little surprised that this is the strongest team in Europe right now.

With Ajax's current strength, compared with AC Milan, there is still a big gap.

But old players such as Sneijder, Galasek, Maxwell and Vermaelen all figured out what Yang Yang meant, and they all nodded in unison.

"That's right, it's good to touch AC Milan!" Sneijder gritted his teeth.

"It's a pity that I didn't win!"

"When you say that, I want to touch AC Milan too." Vermaelen is also eager to take the plunge.

Heitinga even more geared up and said: "If you really run into AC Milan, I'll kill them!" ”

Many new players don't know the situation, so they ask for the inside information.

Galasek quickly explained how AC Milan seduced Trabelsi without any evidence, made the Tunisian right wing-back clamoring for a transfer, and almost messed up inside and outside the Ajax dressing room.

Frankly, it would be unfair to blame AC Milan for all of it, as there were still tensions within the squad between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, but the Rossoneri undoubtedly fanned the flames.

Since AC Milan could do such a thing at that time, Yang Yang doesn't mind using him to unite his teammates now.

At present, the core backbone players in the team have all experienced those things back then, and naturally they all don't have much affection for AC Milan, and even have some resentment, and at this time, Yang Yang mentioned it, and they all felt relieved.

Especially in front of Kaka, the provocation is not too enjoyable.

"What did Kaka say?" De Jong asked with concern.

Yang Yang smiled, "Kaka said, I have a grudge, and I told him that I do have a grudge, so when they come to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, it is best to be careful, I will let them have no return!" ”

"Well said!" Everyone applauded.

Back then, Ajax lost 0-1 to AC Milan in Amsterdam, Yang Yang just sat in the stands, but many players, including Sneijder, De Jong, and Heitinga, appeared on the field.

"Everyone says that AC Milan is strong, that's undeniable, but let's not forget that Liverpool is also strong, they reversed AC Milan in the Champions League final, and the overall strength is not inferior to AC Milan, but in the UEFA Super Cup, we beat Liverpool 2-1, which proves our strength."

When it comes to the European Super Cup, teammates have regained confidence and confidence.

To be able to play to that level with Liverpool, Ajax is proud enough.

"So, I was thinking, if we don't meet AC Milan in the group stage, it doesn't matter, let's try to qualify from the group stage, we will meet them in the knockout round, and not only that, but we also have to try to win the group in the group stage and beat Arsenal."

When Yang Yang said this, his face was full of confidence and determination.

"I always believe in one thing, confidence is played one game at a time!"

If it were a different team, it wouldn't have been too much of a feeling, but Ajax was completely different.

Two years ago, Ajax almost finished bottom of the group stage, but the last game was miraculously reversed, and then it was better than the other, and finally played in the Champions League final, beating Porto to win the title.

This miraculous journey to the top of the championship is a testament to that.

Confidence is really played out one game at a time.

"Not only AC Milan, but also Juventus, and Bayern Munich, all the teams that have beaten us, we have to get it back one game at a time!" Yang Yang shouted loudly.

This time, the players' feelings were noticeably deeper.

Especially the 0-4 loss to Bayern Munich last season can be said to be miserable!

But the more this happens, the easier it is to arouse the common hatred of the players.

It's all young players, and who doesn't want to be disgraced?

…………

…………

After a week of adjustments, the form and morale of the Ajax players have recovered significantly.

A week later, the Eredivisie ushered in the sixth round.

Ajax sat at the Amsterdam Arena and welcomed Roda JC in the sixth round.

Although they will face Arsenal in midweek, Ajax will still play with the main line-up this time.

Roda JC played away from home, and manager Stevens lined up a back five to try to hold the score on the road.

However, Ajax adopted a tactic of bombardment at the beginning, especially taking advantage of the lack of air defense of Roda JC's central defenders, actively hitting the high point of Charlistias, and scored two goals in the 28th and 40th minutes respectively.

The Greek centre-forward scored a brace and played his best form since joining Ajax.

Among them, Charlie Steias's first goal was a precise cross from Yang Yang's right.

With a two-goal lead in the first half, Yang Yang scored again in the 60th minute of the second half to help Ajax further extend the score.

After that, Ajax made continuous substitutions and adjustments, and core players such as Yang Yang and Sneijder were replaced one after another.

Roda JC scored a goal in the 81st minute, but Ajax pulled one back in the 86th minute through Galasek.

In the end, Ajax beat Roda JC 4-1 at home and won the three points.

And Valwijk, who lead the standings, finally ushered in a defeat after five consecutive wins.

On their home turf, Waalwijk and Utrecht staged a frantic second-half battle, especially in the final stoppage time, Valwijk equalised, but Utrecht scored in the last minute.

In the end, Waalwijk lost 2-3 to Utrecht.

Ajax reversed Waalwijk to reach the top of the Eredivisie standings.

AZ Alkmaar suffered a 2-1 defeat at Breda, with Louis van Gaal's side losing their first defeat of the season.

Yang Yang caught up with Aviladeze with his goals in this round and tied for the top scorer with nine goals.

At the same time, he also has five assists.
