204 Crazy [2700 monthly pass plus change, ask for a subscription monthly pass]
In August, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the Netherlands is relatively large.
Although he has been away for two months, Yang Yang is still the same as before, getting up on time, brushing his teeth and washing his face, putting on Adidas' Chinese red boots, putting on a sports coat, picking up the football by the door, and just about to go out, he heard a movement upstairs.
"Wait, wait, wait for me."
It didn't take long to see Fermaren slumping downstairs and rushing out of the door with a gust of wind.
"What's the hurry, I'm not waiting for you?" Yang Yang scolded with a smile.
Fermaren smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, Yang Yang looked back, and just in time to see Maxwell also going out.
In the second half of last season, for a long time, the four of them often practiced together every morning, so Yang Yang was not surprised, what really surprised him was the woman who had just sent Maxwell out.
"Who's that?" Yang Yang asked curiously.
Fermaren waved his hand, kicked the ball directly over, gave it to Maxwell who ran over, and laughed loudly: "Yang Yang is asking, why is there a woman hidden in your house?" β
Maxwell smiled awkwardly, and was a little shy, "That's my wife." β
"You took my wife?" Yang Yang was overjoyed to hear it, "When did it happen?" β
"Just this summer, I have two more children ready to go to school in Amsterdam." Maxwell smiled happily.
Yang Yang knows in his heart that the Brazilian left full-back must be ready, either to leave the team, or to renew his contract and raise his salary.
As one of Ajax's most outstanding players last season, Maxwell will definitely have to get a higher salary if he stays in the team, at least similar to Yang Yang.
"He, now he basically doesn't go out every night, quietly preparing to have three children." Vermaren teased with a smile.
"Wow, you're amazing." Yang Yang said with admiration.
Maxwell now has two sons, and it takes a lot of courage to want to have another child.
Of course, he really likes children and has to call almost every night.
"He's going to have a football team." Vermaren laughed.
Max Weldon flew a kick but was dodged by the Belgian centre-back.
Yang Yang was also in a good mood, and pointed to the original Ibrahimovic house opposite, "The house opposite has been rented out again?" β
"Well, rented to his fellow countrymen." Fermaren pointed at Maxwell and said.
"Who?" Yang Yang didn't understand.
"Didn't the club sign two players in Brazil before? A left wing-back, named Felipe Luiz, is only nineteen years old, and a right wing-back is Douglas McConn, twenty-three. β
Yang Yang suddenly remembered, but because no one paid attention to these two transfers, there were no media reports at all.
However, Yang Yang has heard of the name Douglas McConn, who debuted in Cruzeiro and is not only the same age as Maxwell, but also used to be teammates in the youth team and the national youth team, but he did not play in the main team at Cruzeiro.
Last season, Trabelsi was in turmoil about a transfer, and Ajax had been trying to bring in a right wing-back before the winter break, but at that time it was Cruzeiro's main right wing-back MauriΓ±o, but then there were some problems in the operation process, which led to the failure of the winter break.
Unexpectedly, the main player was not bought, but the substitute McCone was bought.
"How's he doing?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
He's a right winger, so of course you have to worry about the quality of the right wing-back.
"It's fast, it's good at the feet, it's definitely there, but it's still some of the habits of playing in Brazil, and it's not good defensively, so it's going to be a problem." Maxwell said.
Maxwell himself is not a player known for his defense, and if even he thinks McCown's defense is not good, then he must be strengthened, which Yang Yang does not find unusual.
McCone and the left wing-back named Felipe Luiz shared a house in Ibrahimovic's original house, and Maxwell helped to get it, and they will be considered neighbors with Yang Yang in the future.
Not only that, but several new players brought in this season also live in the surrounding area.
"Van Gaal is the head coach of AZ Alkmaar, and the club has also brought in Vlaar from AZ Alkmaar, the senior defender is still very strong, and Thomas is still under a lot of competitive pressure this season."
The three of them were running and chatting, and their feet were not idle, and the ball was like threading a needle, passing back and forth at the feet of the three people.
"I know Vlaar, he is really strong, and he is running for the main force." Yang Yang said with a smile.
Vermaren snorted twice, "I'm not weak at all. β
"The new kid up front has a lot of Zlatan style." Maxwell laughed.
"Who?"
"Nicolaas Bendtner, Denmark's high school striker."
"Oh." Yang Yang suddenly realized that Van Gaal personally went to Portugal to get it, and he snatched it from Arsenal, "Is it very capable?" β
"It's okay, only sixteen years old, everyone is very optimistic about him, directly into the first team, and he has played many times in the warm-up games, it is estimated that he will be reused this season, the characteristics are a bit similar to Zlatan, but he is a little crazy."
"Crazy?"
"Yes, shortly after he joined the team, he publicly said that he wanted to challenge you for the status of the team's number one star."
"Me? The team's number one new star? Yang Yang smiled, he didn't know it himself.
"This is a private selection of De Tokmost's players, originally Ryan Babbel, but after last season, you are the undisputed number one new star, but this kid wants to overthrow you as soon as he comes, you have to work hard, don't lose to him, disgrace us."
"Get out of here." Yang Yang laughed, but he thought it was funny.
I don't know if this is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers?
"The performance of the new signing Charlie Steas is also okay, judging from the Amsterdam invitational tournament, the tactical role of the high school striker is still relatively obvious, and judging from the warm-up game, he and Wesley Sonk's position will be relatively stable."
Wesley Sonk is best at scoring, and Ibrahimovic wasn't really a tactical centre-forward last season, but with the introduction of Charlie Steas, who shone at the European Championships, the club will definitely want to revamp their forward line.
The Greek center is in the middle, Wesley Sonk is on the left, and Yang Yang plays on the right, which is also a logical thing.
The only hidden danger is that Yang Yang failed to participate in the summer training camp, and the cooperation with his teammates is still relatively jerky.
Luckily, there is still a week to go before the start of the new season, so take your time.
"What about the vacancies after Rafael's departure?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
Last season, Ajax's midfield three was basically Van der Vaart partnering Sneijder, with De Jong and Galasek taking turns playing behind, but now that Van der Vaart is gone, there is a vacant place in midfield.
"Pienaar is the first choice for this position right now, he still has a good relationship with Sneijder, and judging from the performance in the summer, the effect is very good, and it should be basically so decided."
After listening to this, Yang Yang also had a preliminary understanding of the team's lineup framework for the new season.
In the goalkeeper position, Robert performed well last season, but has moved to Fiorentina, and the current team is vigorously promoting the youngster Stekelenberg to the position, but for the sake of safety, the 34-year-old veteran Hans Funk from Heerenveen has been specially brought in to assist.
There is no way around it, as Ajax has regrouped and is much younger on average than in previous seasons.
The average age of this season is estimated to be around 21 years old, which is still the youngest team in Europe, and there is a lot of need for veterans.
The left side of the backline must be Maxwell, Felipe Luiz is the substitute, of course, if Maxwell leaves, then Felipe will naturally come up.
On the right side is the competition between McCone and Griguera, in the middle of the field Pasanen and Escud are brought in, but Vlar is brought in, and then the trio of Heitinga, Vermaelen and Vlaar will compete, plus De Jong and Grigra can all play in this position.
Needless to say, the midfield, Yang Yang's position as a right winger should be relatively stable, but it is not particularly safe.
According to the agreement reached between Ajax and Alihan and the Chinese national team, Yang Yang will leave the team in September this year to participate in the Asian Youth Championships, and he will definitely leave for a while, but fortunately, the national team's World Cup qualifiers did not consider calling Yang Yang.
According to Leader Zhu's previous statement, the national team is very sure of the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, and the draw is extremely lucky, and there is no problem in advancing to the quarterfinals, so that Yang Yang can concentrate on playing in the Asian Youth Championship, strive to enter the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands next year, and wait until next year to recruit Yang Yang to play in the quarterfinals.
Therefore, when the time comes, Yang Yang can concentrate on club events.

As usual, after running two laps along Lake Odekelk, Yang Yang came to the breakfast shop on the corner.
"Hey, why are you back?" When the boss saw Yang Yang, he was surprised and delighted.
Yang Yang smiled slightly, "I'm not welcome?" β
"How so? We're all waiting for you. β
Yang Yang loves to listen to this, and he laughs.
"I've been collecting your news for a while now, cutting out the report, and planning to keep it, which will definitely be worth a lot in the future." As he spoke, the boss turned around and fetched a thick notebook from the back.
Yang Yang took it and opened it to take a look, and it was really full of newspaper clippings reporting him.
'There are a lot of departures for the new season, but the financial situation has basically improved, and we all know that it was all thanks to you and a couple of other team-mates who did well last season, so it's important to keep working this season as well.'
Yang Yang didn't know the name of the boss, and there was no need to know it, because there were too many such fans in Amsterdam, everywhere, and he could meet him almost every time he went on the street.
Sometimes he thinks that these fanatical fans who always spare no effort to support the team, regardless of the team's performance or quality, should be the pillar of Ajax's long-term survival.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Yang Yang took the pen and signed his name in the newspaper clipping.
"Well, the new season is a great opportunity for you, and I'm very optimistic about you."
Yang Yang nodded politely in thanks, mentioned breakfast, and turned to leave.
Opposite him, the rising sun.
