The first conversation with Van Basten lasted only about twenty minutes.

The former legend, who has just taken the first step in solo coaching this season, seems to be very patient, telling Yang Yang a lot of his past playing experience, and putting forward his requirements for Yang Yang.

In fact, there is nothing unusual, and he hopes that Yang Yang can continue his performance during the Almere period and become a sharp knife on the right side of the team, opening up the situation for the team's attack.

After a number of players were transferred to the first team, the second team was already seriously short of people on the right side of the attacking end.

After that, Van Basten called two of his assistants and introduced Yang Yang to them.

Van Basten's assistants are also from Ajax, and they were all his team-mates in the 80s, John van Schip, who played as a right winger, and Rob Witzger, who played in midfield.

The first impression given to Yang Yang by the two coaches was very good and quite affinity, which was also what touched Yang Yang the most.

Back in Almere's time, even if he behaved badly, both the manager John Repp and Dick Van Poel gave him enough respect, not to mention abusive, not even loud reprimands, as if consciously or unconsciously maintaining a relaxed environment that reassured young players.

This atmosphere is even more pronounced in De Tokmost, from Van Basten to Van Schipp and Witzger, everyone Yang has met has a smile on his face from time to time, and his tone of voice is very calm, so that he has no pressure.

However, when he followed Vanschipe to the second team's players' lounge to meet with other teammates, Yang Yang still felt some unfriendly eyes, the first of which was from the talented winger Ryan Babbel.

Perhaps influenced by the clash with Almere, the talented Dutch winger did not perform particularly well in the subsequent amateur competitions, failing to start even against Feyenoord in the final, and Ajax also lost the final.

Subsequently, although Babbel entered the first team, participated in the summer training camp, and played two warm-up games, the effect was not particularly good, and he was soon sent back to the second team by Ronald Koman, which made Babbel always feel very unbalanced.

Now that he has seen the Chinese kid who made him embarrassed, he has become a teammate, how can he give a good face?

As soon as he saw Yang Yang walking in with Vanschip, Babbel immediately got up and left.

Another one who is not particularly interested in Yang Yang is the left fullback Emmanuelsson, who was also abused by Yang Yang in that game, and naturally he will not look at people with good eyes, but he will not turn around and leave like Babbel.

It can be seen that his status in the team has not yet reached the level of playing the score.

Johan Vanschipe introduced Yang to everyone in the room and handed him over to the team's captain, Robert Zwinkels, the 20-year-old goalkeeper who is currently the captain of the second team and a member of Ajax's academy team.

Ajax's second team is truly an international column, with central defender Niklas Moisander from Northern Europe, central defender Russ Degren from Sweden, central defender Thomas Vermaelen from Belgium, José Valencia on the left from Ecuador in South America, and midfielder Michael Krohn Derry from Denmark.

In addition, even among the local Dutch players, most of them are of African descent, and the captain Robert Zwinkels should be considered a relatively pure Dutch white, who is said to have been born in a small town near The Hague but came to Ajax since he was a child.

After an introduction, Yang Yang shook hands with his teammates one by one, the most familiar of which was of course his roommate Fermalen, and Emmanuelsen muttered when shaking hands with Yang Yang, as if he was looking for an opportunity to return the color.

In the current second team, there are only four players in the eighth and sixth years, Demur is in March, Emmanuelsen is in June, Yang Yang is in October, and Ryan Babel is at the end of December.

The youngest, but on the contrary, he is the biggest player in the team, plus he has a somewhat withdrawn personality, and it is said that he has been skipping all the way since the youth team, and he is very unsociable with everyone.

There are generally two languages of communication in the Ajax team, one is Dutch and the other is English.

Yang Yang's Dutch is no problem with reading and writing, but his English still needs to be strengthened, so he needs to sign up for an English class, and a special English teacher will come to teach him.

Many teammates heard the captain Zwinkels mention the cultural course, obviously their faces were darkened and wailed, but Yang Yang was without pressure, because this has always been his strength, especially after having a super training ground, he found that he could not forget it, and it was naturally easier to learn.

The afternoon training session was the same as usual, only with one more person.

As early as the Talent Day event, Yang Yang had already deeply experienced the intensity of Ajax's training, compared to the training of the Almere youth team.

Whether it is the intensity of the training program, the importance that the coaching staff attaches to the execution of the players, or the requirements for the level of commitment of the players, it is completely different from the Almere period, and it can even be said that it is a world of difference.

Even in the second team, the intensity of training is not weaker than in an official game.

In fact, the coaching staff also uses almost actual combat to ask the players to put in training.

At first, Van Basten was worried that Yang Yang would not be able to keep up with the team's training, after all, Yang Yang did feel thin, but after a training session, he was relieved.

Yang Yang did not hold the team back, not only persevered to the end, but also impressed him with his dedication in training, and he meticulously implemented almost all the training projects arranged by the coaching staff.

The only thing that is reassuring is the chemistry between him and his team-mates, especially on the right flank.

The main right full-back of the second team is also just drawn from the academy this season, 18-year-old African player Dwight Tienddali, from the Ajax local academy, the speed is good, the foot work is also very solid, the sudden forward on the right side is his forte, but the defense is also a good hand, can be described as both offensive and defensive.

Yang Yang was a newcomer, and in the practice of practicing tactical routines in the team, he never thought of a piece with his teammates, and made a lot of mistakes.

But both Van Basten and the coaching staff are very satisfied with Yang Yang's first training session, after all, he is just a newcomer, as long as he slowly integrates into the team and is familiar with the playing habits of his teammates, it is only a matter of time before he develops a tacit understanding.

After the training was over, Van Basten specially called Yang Yang over to encourage him, and then left with the coaching staff.

The other players have also returned to their dressing rooms.

"Why don't you leave?"

Seeing that everyone else was gone, but Yang Yang was still on the training ground, Thomas Vermaelen turned back and asked strangely.

"You go first, I'll stay a little longer." Yang Yang's eyes were fixed on the ball that fell together, and he replied.

"Isn't it? Aren't you tired after a training session? Vermaren asked with a wry smile.

Yang Yang laughed at himself, "My basic skills are too poor, I have to add some amount to myself." ”

"Did you do that with your previous team?"

"Well, but we're a youth team, and the training intensity is much worse than here."

"All alone? Haven't had anyone practice against you? ”

"Nope." Yang Yang is still burying his head in the ball.

Vermaren smiled, "Then I'm going to have to give you some guidance today." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Yang felt a figure flash in front of him, and the ball that was originally upside down on his left foot was stabbed off, and then looked ahead, only to see Vermaelen stepping on the ball, looking at him with a smile.

"It's not interesting to practice alone, then."

I only heard a bang, and a fast and urgent pass quickly flew from under Fermaren's feet to Yang Yang's face.

Caught off guard, Yang Yang had to instinctively use his right foot to stop the ball, but it turned out to be a little too big.

Seeing this, Vermaelen in the distance shook his head with disdain, "It really should be practiced, the basic skills of stopping the ball are too poor." ”

Yang Yang didn't know that he was deliberately stimulating himself, so he became angry, and immediately flew out and passed the ball back.

Not to mention, although Vermaelen is a central defender, his kung fu to stop the ball is still very good, quite solid, stop, kick again, and kick the ball back.

"Okay, the ball is counted as losing, and whoever loses cooks, washes dishes, and cleans."

Yang Yang scolded secretly, isn't this a pit person?

Everyone knows that the worst thing about him is stopping the ball.

But having a sparring partner is indeed much more interesting and motivated than practicing alone, so I immediately agreed.

The two of them just kicked the ball back and forth on the training ground, training happily.

Needless to say, Yang Yang definitely lost.

Later, when Yang Yang practiced crossing, Vermaelen took the initiative to ask Ying to practice heading and play the role of a center forward in the middle.

'Don't think I'm joking, there was a time when my Academy coach really suggested I play as a striker and they thought I wasn't the right height to play as a defender, but I didn't believe it.

"Is it true?" Yang Yang definitely didn't believe it.

"You'll find out if you try." Vermaren provoked.

Soon, when Yang Yang passed the ball into the penalty area with one foot on the right side, Vermaelen was as he said, always able to accurately judge the landing point of the ball, and showed a good sense of grabbing points, which surprised Yang Yang.

He only thought that Vermaelen's defensive ability was outstanding, but he didn't expect his foot work and offensive ability to be so strong, even better than Emmanuelsen who had an offensive heart, which really confirmed that person is not good-looking.

But being able to have such a powerful teammate to train with him really aroused Yang Yang's fighting spirit, and he was particularly energetic in training, and for the purpose of attacking his teammates, he deliberately caused some trouble for Fermaren, who grabbed points, from time to time, and also added a little fun to the boring training.
