In just five days, after playing three games in a row, the national youth team finally ushered in a rare adjustment time.

Although it was only for two short days.

The Toulon Cup Organizing Committee also actively arranged excursions, and the national youth team took a day to play around Toulon.

To the south of France and to the west of the Mediterranean, there are many tourist destinations.

To the west of Toulon you can reach Marseille and Provence, the former of which is famous for its lavender country.

To the east, along the way, there are the famous cinema cities of Cannes, Nice and Monaco, all of which are world-famous tourist destinations.

After negotiations within the team, everyone agreed to go east.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the team set off from Toulon and rushed to the first stop, Nice, the pearl of the Côte d'Azur.

After the long journey to Toulon, and then three games in a row in five days, every player in the team was spinning in a row, and the pressure was very high, even like Yang Yang, who has basically been playing since August last year.

A rare opportunity to enjoy the beautiful beach, the blue Mediterranean, coupled with the team's three consecutive wins to qualify from the group, Yang Yang and everyone in the team were also in a good mood, playing on the beach in the morning for an hour and a half, and finally reluctantly left.

Before noon, the team arrived at the Royal Palace of Monaco to enjoy the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony, and then took photos around the city, during which everyone went to the palace's tourist shop to buy souvenirs.

Yang Yang also bought a few chic small items, planning to return to China to give them to relatives and friends.

It was also when buying souvenirs that Yang Yang noticed that the teammates of the national youth team were generally not well-off, and everyone tried to avoid those expensive souvenirs, and picked the cheaper medals and the like, Chen Tao and Feng Xiaoting were the highest salaries among the teammates, with a monthly income of only five or six thousand yuan, and the others were even less.

Yang Yang is the highest salary in the team, currently in Ajax can receive more than 400 euros a week, plus the game bonus, making him the most local player in the team, after seeing the constraints of his teammates, he is also rare to be arrogant, to everyone in the team to send a delicate gift.

Not only the players, but also the coaches, staff and reporters who accompanied the team all had one, and everyone was invited to lunch.

Everyone in the team also felt Yang Yang's kindness, because the team's funds were limited, in order to save expenses, they did not arrange to eat out at noon, and originally planned to buy some hot dogs and fruits, make do with a meal, and then return to the hotel in Toulon for dinner.

Yang Yang's intention is to hope that everyone will have fun and have a good memory.

After discussing with the team leader, head coach Tie Sheng finally agreed to let Yang Yang have a meal, just keep it secret from the outside world to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble, but the players in the team are more respectful to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang's agents Raiola and Van Basten both settled in Monaco, the latter has two mansions in the middle of the mountain in Monaco's prime location, and has invited Yang Yang to come as a guest many times, but recently, Van Basten has been in the Netherlands, but Raiola happened to be in Monaco, and Yang Yang called him to help find a restaurant.

Not long after, Yang Yang and his entourage arrived at a luxurious restaurant not far from the Royal Palace of Monaco, and the pot-bellied Raiola had already booked a large box inside to welcome Yang Yang and others.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast.

is also an agent, but the agent of the players of the national youth team is obviously much worse than Raiola in terms of ability and service attitude, especially when I heard that Raiola is still the agent of Nedved and Ibrahimovic, and has a very wide range of contacts in various European countries, everyone in the national youth team can't help but be taken aback.

In particular, several players in the team who do want to develop in Europe can't help but ask Raiola about the details of the transfer to the European League during the meal.

After hastily eating something and filling their stomachs, Yang Yang and Raiola went to the side to talk about their own affairs.

…………

…………

"Van Gaal is really gone."

Raiola brought an update on Ajax, "He has officially announced that he will take over AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie. ”

Yang Yang nodded silently, he had known about this matter for a long time, but he was still a little depressed after hearing the news.

"Who will take his place?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"Based on the information I have so far, after Van Gaal's departure, the club's board of directors will split the responsibilities of the technical director, with some of the responsibilities, including transfers, going to Ali van Eden, the managing director of the board, and Danny Blind, who is currently in charge of the 19-year-old youth team, will take over the academy."

Danny Blind is an Ajax legend and a witness to Louis van Gaal's glory days, having been with Ajax for fifteen years before retiring from the youth team in '99.

Before, Yang Yang was still speculating that he might take over Van Basten's class and coach the second team, but he didn't expect that now he has taken over the entire youth department, and it seems that the club still has great trust in his ability.

However, Yang Yang is currently in the first team, and the affairs of the youth team have little to do with him.

'In terms of the first team, Ronald Koeman has been retained, Luther Carroll and others have decided to stay, the coaching staff remains the same, but in terms of players, a lot of players have received offers from other teams, and you have received a lot.

Seeing Yang Yang raise his head and want to say something, Raiola smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, I have politely refused for you, staying in Ajax is your best choice."

Yang Yang nodded, he didn't want his agent to encourage him to transfer, and he believed that Raiola also knew this.

"Ajax's summer transfer has begun, and from the information I have gathered so far, Niklas Bendtner should join Ajax and refuse Arsenal, mainly because Ajax promised to let him directly into the first team and vigorously develop him."

'Zlatan is also almost certain to leave the club at the moment, but it will not be decided until after the European Championships, and many teams including Juventus, Inter Milan and Roma want to get him, and he has no shortage of interested buyers right now, and Van der Vaart is no different.

'Also, Escud should be leaving, there are a number of teams interested in him, and I've heard that Ajax are considering bringing in Vlaar from AZ Alkmaar.

Vlar, Yang Yang chewed on the name, his memory has always been very good, and he quickly remembered the central defender of the AZ Alkmaar youth team that he met in the amateur competition, which was quite strong.

'Ajax are also very optimistic about the centre-back, but last year they chose Escud and this year the team decided to reorganize, so they decided to bring in Vlar, and Thomas should get more opportunities.

Fermaelen performed well last season, although there were mistakes, but the overall is still okay, if you really sell Escude, it is reasonable to reuse Fermaelen, the only hidden danger is that Fermaelen and Heitinga are both short.

However, Vlaar's physical fitness is good, and he can make up for this shortcoming.

'I've also heard that Ajax is in talks in Brazil to bring in two full-backs to the left and right, but I don't know the specifics, and I guess there will be another centre-forward this summer, and Anastaxiu's performance is not satisfactory.

After listening to Raiola's introduction, Yang Yang also has a general understanding of Ajax's situation this summer.

The Eredivisie giants have long since lost the style and strength of the European giants of the past, and after winning the Champions League, the fire sale of stars has become an inevitable option, and the only requirement now is to sell for as good a price as possible, and then bring in powerful stars to ensure the competitiveness of the team and improve the team's financial situation.

Ajax's finances have been losing money every year and the debt has been piling up, and the Champions League title and restructuring can just let the team breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your contract extension, I've been talking to Van Eden for the past few days, this guy is easier to deal with than Van Gaal, but it's not easy, it probably will take a little time, in addition, Adidas and Nike are also in contact with me."

"What do they want to do?" Yang Yang asked strangely.

Raiola smiled, "Of course I'm interested in you." ”

Yang Yang was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered that many stars have sneaker sponsorship, such as Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, but this is the treatment of stars, can he also have it?

"Van Eden told me that Adidas is in talks with Ajax about a contract extension, that they are interested in funding an indoor training centre for Ajax and that they are working with the club in terms of testing and data analysis, but they want to put your endorsement contract together and Adidas is very optimistic about you."

Yang Yang smiled slightly, not knowing what reaction to give.

"Nike has always liked to dig into the corners of Adidas, and the competition between the two companies for star resources is also very fierce, not only famous stars, but now also pay attention to young players, Nike is also looking forward to seeing you play in Adidas jerseys, but playing in Nike shoes."

Raiola said it interestingly, and Yang Yang couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

He wasn't particularly good at any of these things, but he trusted Raiola.

"I'll leave it up to you to handle these things for me, but I have a request."

Raiola nodded, he came to tell Yang Yang this, the most important thing is to know if he has any requirements and ideas.

"My father's company also sells sneakers and apparel in China, and I know that Adidas and Nike often require players to wear their shoes and clothes not only on the court, but also off the court, and I hope to be able to waive this clause."

Raiola thought for a moment and nodded: "This is not difficult to discuss, and many players will reject such clauses. ”

"I don't have any ideas for the rest, you can help me deal with it." Yang Yang said with a smile.

Raiola smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm sure, this time will definitely surprise you." ”

Yang Yang attaches more importance to the improvement of his own strength, but if he can take into account his personal interests, of course he will not mind.

What's more, Raiola takes a commission from his contract.
