After Ajax's 3-1 defeat to Feyenoord, the Dutch media once again stirred up.

Especially for Yang Yang's increasingly hot state this season, he has given quite high expectations, believing that he is the most powerful contender for the top scorer in the Eredivisie this season, and also looking forward to his performance in the Champions League this season.

The UEFA Super Cup at the weekend will undoubtedly be Ajax's first test of the new European season.

The opponent is still the Red Army Liverpool, who have just staged a miraculous comeback in Istanbul, Turkey.

After playing Feyenoord, Ajax spent the day in Amsterdam before flying non-stop to Monaco in the south of France, while Liverpool also flew in from England at about the same time.

The two teams arrived one after the other, but were accommodated in different hotels.

But in the afternoon, Ajax, including managers Ronald Koeman and Yang Yang, received an invitation from UEFA to attend the Champions League group stage draw at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

…………

…………

This is the first time Yang Yang has been invited to attend such a high-level event.

At this time last year, although he helped Ajax all the way to the final, and even scored a key goal in the final, he was just a rising rookie in European football, so naturally he would not be invited.

But this year is clearly different.

He led Ajax to the Eredivisie title, he broke Ronaldo's legendary record that had been in the dust for a decade, and everyone around the world recognised that he was the number one player in the Eredivisie.

Moreover, as the core of the main force, he led Ajax to win the UEFA Cup, and he was also elected as the best player in the UEFA Cup, which gave him enough weight and attention in European football.

Not only did UEFA invite him, but FIFA also invited him to attend the World Footballer of the Year ceremony in December.

Previously, he was also on the list of 30 candidates for the World Footballer of the Year, the only player in the history of Asian football to make it to the list, which no one had ever made before.

This has also attracted great attention from the domestic media, and even many domestic media believe that Yang Yang should have hope of winning the UEFA annual award, but Yang Yang himself knows very well that this is almost impossible.

Although it was the best award in European club competition last season, in fact, it is more fitting to say that it is the best award in the Champions League, and the UEFA Cup will always be just a companion.

This is also the reason why Yang Yang insisted on staying in Ajax for an extra year.

In European football, have you ever proven yourself in the Champions League, those are two completely different grades.

In other words, even if Yang Yang performs well in the UEFA Cup, it is useless, and if he does not prove himself in the Champions League, he will not be able to rank among the top stars in Europe for a day, and he will not even be able to compete with Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart last season.

Of course, Yang Yang also has his own advantages, that is, his age.

Judging from the results alone, Yang Yang really doesn't have anything too good, but if he puts his achievements on an eighteen-year-old young player, it will really make European football and even world football praise him.

Yang Yang has a very clear understanding of this.

At the same time, he also knows very well that if he does not make an inch in the next two years, the outside world will quickly forget about him, and a second or even a third person will replace him immediately.

For him, it's a pressure, but it's also a motivation to keep working hard.

…………

…………

As soon as Yang Yang walked into the venue, UEFA staff immediately stepped forward to greet him and took him to the area designated by the players to take a seat.

Those who can enter here are all people with status in European football, who may be the powerful bigwigs who entered the 32 teams in the Champions League group stage, or they may be European coaches, or well-known legends in the past.

Yang Yang sat in his position, raised his eyes, and could see the stars, coaches and seniors who could be counted at any time, and he still felt very excited, especially when he saw Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho.

Almost everyone believes that Ronaldinho will be the number one favorite for World Footballer of the Year this year, and the world's number one superstar closest to Ronaldo, and possibly even surpassing Ronaldo.

He is now the number one star in world football!

Real Madrid's superstars didn't come, but that's no surprise because they didn't do well in the Champions League and ended up in the round of 16, which really embarrassed them.

Yang Yang hesitated whether to take the initiative to step forward and greet Ronaldinho, but he was worried that there were many people around the other party, and he was worried that he would not be recognized by the other party, which would be embarrassing.

While he was struggling, Ronaldinho seemed to notice him and walked towards him.

"Hello, Yang." Ronaldinho grinned and grinned with his cute buckteeth.

Frankly speaking, Yang Yang is no longer a rookie who has just debuted, and he has seen many legends and stars over the years.

But when he saw Ronaldinho walking up to him and taking the initiative to greet him, he still stood up and shook the hand of the Brazilian superstar with some excitement, "Hello, Ronaldinho." ”

"Your performance last season was fantastic, and what particularly impressed me was that Cruyff turned and pendulum in the game you played against Villarreal, and the last time you passed the goalkeeper, Reyna himself said that he thought he was already sure, but he didn't expect you to be prepared." Ronaldinho said with a smile.

Yang Yang was quite happy to hear it at first, but when he heard Reina later, he was a little surprised, "Reina? ”

'Well, he's a goalkeeper from Barcelona's academy and he's gone to Liverpool this summer.

Yang Yang suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this.

"My little brother Messi, but you have never forgotten you, you have always aimed at you, I tried to use your trick on the training ground before, but I still couldn't use it well."

Yang Yang smiled, he didn't expect Ronaldinho to learn his own moves, he was proud.

"Actually, I was in a hurry at the time, and I really didn't have a way."

"That's right." Ronaldinho nodded, "Football should be like this, be open, be happy, it's very fun, there's no need to turn it into a very dull offensive and defensive game." ”

Yang Yang nodded instructively, he knew that Brazilians have always been happy to play football, always with a smile.

"After coming back from the World Youth Championships, Messi has trained harder and you have to be ready, he will take revenge at any time." Ronaldinho laughed a little gloatingly.

Reading between the lines, Yang Yang can feel Ronaldinho's love for Messi, which is a big brother's maintenance of a little brother full of potential, which makes him somewhat envious.

That's what the big teams do.

As soon as he debuted, he hadn't even played a few games in the first team, he was a world-known talent, and with a superstar like Ronaldinho teaching him hand in hand, Messi's potential for growth and improvement would be amazing.

"Then please help me convey it, I will work harder than him, and I will wait for his arrival at any time." Yang Yang said confidently.

Ronaldinho smiled and nodded: "Good boy, I like you!" ”

They all play football, and naturally they all know that weakness is a taboo for a player.

Only when he is stronger and stronger, constantly challenging and breaking through himself, can this player go further.

If Yang Yang grovels now, although he has given Ronaldinho enough face, the Brazilian will inevitably look down on him a few points, but it will be as tough as he is now, which can stir up sparks even more.

Brazilian players have always been the protagonists of European football's biggest awards extravaganzas, and tonight was no exception.

Just now, Yang Yang only noticed Ronaldinho, but by chatting with the Brazilian superstar, he also noticed other players around him, such as the superstar Kaka who plays for AC Milan and the Brazilian superstar Adriano who plays for Inter Milan.

These are the most powerful first-line superstars in European football now, although they are slightly inferior to Ronaldinho, but they are all the stars and pillars of major European teams.

In contrast, Yang Yang's Ajax is much more cold.

The world is like that, there is no harm without contrast.

Yang Yang's invincibility in the Netherlands has been unanimously praised by fans and the media, but compared to these superstars in the venue, he is nothing at all.

At the very least, he is far from proving his strength like them.

When he was seated, Yang Yang sat in the second row, and in front of him was Liverpool's midfield core Steven Gerrard and AC Milan's Kaka, both of whom saw Yang Yang when they were seated, and took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Yang and say hello.

Yang Yang is very familiar with Kaka, because in the season when he first debuted, Kaka helped AC Milan defeat Ajax, but Yang Yang was sitting in the stands of the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium at that time, so Kaka naturally didn't know him as a nobody.

But Yang Yang was particularly impressed by AC Milan's poaching of Trabelsi and creating Ajax infighting.

Although this kind of thing is very common in European football, Yang Yang also has a preconceived aversion to AC Milan's impression, but Yang Yang appreciates Kaka very much.

The main thing is that he is handsome, plays the ball well, and smiles very kindly, and when he turns his head to talk to Yang Yang from time to time, he will nod and smile very politely, which leaves an excellent impression on Yang Yang.

Gerald is a little serious, but he has the temperament of a leader, he speaks and does things in a straightforward manner, which gives Yang Yang the feeling that he is very reliable and trustworthy.

Although Ajax and Liverpool will be opponents soon, Gerrard doesn't seem to remember this incident at all, and when he talks to Yang Yang, it is some daily chat.

This also makes Yang Yang have to admit that everyone who can fight in the extremely competitive environment of European football, stand out from the crowd, and climb to the top of the pyramid, is a dragon and phoenix among people.

None of them are simple.
