Since the game time was scheduled at 6:30 p.m., Yang Yang still practiced on the morning of the game day.

Let him leave the hotel and do his own morning workout, which is also a privilege granted to him by the coaching staff.

Everyone is used to this.

Yang Yang jumped the ball, set off from the hotel, and ran all the way to the west, running to the Oldcalk Lake.

After three laps along the lakefront, he ran back to the hotel and entered the hotel's gym.

And by this time, Winston Bogard was already waiting for him in the gym.

This powerful Dutch macho man smiled as soon as he saw Yang Yang.

"Congratulations, Captain!"

Yang Yang was a little embarrassed, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not ready yet!" ”

"I'm getting used to it, Captain." Winston Bogard shouted again, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Last night's meeting went well.

After Ronald Koeman announced that the players would vote for the captain, everyone was speculating about who would come out on top between Yang Yang and Sneijder, and who would be the next captain of Ajax.

But at this time, Sneijder suddenly stood up, and when everyone thought that he was going to recommend himself bravely, he suddenly chose Yang Yang, saying that he recommended Yang Yang to be the captain of the team, and would do his best to cooperate with him and support him.

Sneijder's decision surprised everyone, and no one expected that he would choose to support Yang Yang.

With the biggest rivals all announcing their defections, Yang Yang's election is no longer in dispute.

Heitinga and De Jong both made it clear that whoever is elected will not be convinced, only Yang Yang.

Especially Heitinga, this is a thorn in the head, and it is really not easy to submit him.

In the case that the localists have made it clear, players such as Maxwell, Fermalen, McCone and Yaya Toure have recommended Yang Yang, and the final result turned out to be that Yang Yang passed unanimously without suspense and became the new captain of Ajax.

And after returning to the hotel room, Sneijder told Yang Yang that he had never thought about fighting from the beginning.

Yang Yang also said that he didn't want to fight either.

"But all of us feel you're the best fit." Sneijder said sincerely.

In this way, the two dissolved the mustard, and Yang Yang was unanimously elected.

This is also the first time in Ajax's history that a non-European player has been elected to captain, with a Chinese captain from Asia.

Yang Yang still feels a little funny when he thinks about it.

He never thought that he would be able to become the captain of Ajax before, but it happened.

Early in the morning, when he told Su Ye, who was far away in Beijing, the girl was crazy, and she laughed vigorously when she called, happy for Yang Yang from the bottom of her heart.

"I really wish I could be by your side, happy with you, and laugh with you." Su Ye said with affection.

Yang Yang didn't think about keeping her by his side, with his current ability, there was no problem at all in supporting her, he could even arrange for Su Ye to study in Europe, but he knew that he couldn't be so selfish.

He has his own dreams to pursue, and Su Ye also has to chase hers.

After returning from the gym, Yang Yang began to go back to his room to take a shower and change clothes, and went out to have breakfast with his teammates.

Over the years, Ajax have continued to maintain strict discipline, including the uniform time of meals on match days, in order to keep the players in the best possible physical condition during the game.

As the captain, it should have been Yang Yang's duty to organize his teammates' meals, but now he has given carte blanche to Galasek.

The reason is simple, he is really a rookie in this regard.

Although I have experienced a lot, participation and leadership are two different things.

When his teammates saw him like that, they all wanted to laugh, and obviously they all felt that Yang Yang, the captain, was a little weird.

In fact, Yang Yang's popularity in the team is also excellent, otherwise there would not be so many people who support him as the captain.

This also made many people joke with him, some blackmailed him that he should have a treat when he took office, and some thought that he did not show the majesty of the captain and should make himself more fierce, all of which were some good-natured ridicule.

"Alright, alright, everyone stop kidding him." Galasek laughed and shouted to stop.

As a result of last night's vote, a potential conflict was eliminated, and it was the best option for the team.

Moreover, most of the people in the team feel that Yang Yang is the most suitable to be the captain.

Ajax departed from the hotel after lunch and lunch breaks, when the team was well rested and recharged.

After a little more than an hour's drive, the team arrived at Roosendaal and went straight to the Herstak Stadium.

Roosendaal is just a small town near the southern border of the Netherlands, with a small population and a small stadium capacity, which can only accommodate 5,000 fans, and they can fill the stadium every time they play against a domestic giants like Ajax.

When Ajax entered the stadium for pre-match training, it sparked cheers from the fans at the scene.

This is the UEFA Cup winner!

Yang Yang is undoubtedly the most popular player in the Ajax team and has become the player most shouted by Roosendal fans.

Obviously, they have already opened their eyes, after all, the quality of the team is there, and for them, enjoying the game is the most important thing.

When the team returned to the locker room and the players were ready to play, assistant coach Luther Carroll took out the captain's armband and came to Yang Yang under the gaze of all the players.

"For the first time, I'll help you put it on." Luther Carroll laughed.

Yang Yang nodded and raised the arm of his left hand.

This is a new type of captain's armband, in addition to the adhesive function, there is also an elastic band effect, after wearing it, tightly tied to the arm, no matter how you throw it off.

It was the first time for Yang Yang to wear the captain's armband, and it felt a little strange, after all, there was something more on his left arm.

But under the watchful eyes of his teammates, he also gradually felt the weight of the captain's armband.

It's not just an accolade for himself, it's a sign of trust from everyone in the team.

"I promise to live up to everyone's expectations!" Yang Yang said loudly.

The teammates in the locker room all nodded, and when they passed by Yang Yang one after another, they all took the initiative to shake hands and hug him.

It was his first game as captain and Ajax's second league game of the season.

The opponent Roosendal is not strong, but there are still tests.

…………

Reinaldo Wademeyer, thirty-seven years old.

This is his fourth season in charge of the Eredivisie, but unexpectedly, he encountered something that he would talk about, that is, Ajax actually arranged for a young captain ever.

Eighteen-year-old Yang Yang actually wore the captain's armband of Ajax, which is definitely a novelty.

In particular, when the players of the two teams walked out of the stadium one after another under his leadership, Yang Yang, as the captain, was at the forefront, and this change quickly attracted the attention of the media and fans on the scene.

"Ajax seems to have changed a bit."

"We can see that after Heitinga's red card suspension, Vermaelen and Vlaar started together, which is not unexpected, but in the order of appearance in this game, Yang Yang is at the front of the team."

"Ajax's captain's armband is also worn on Yang Yang's body."

"Obviously, when Heitinga was suspended for the red card, Ajax arranged for Yang Yang to be the team's captain on the field."

'The 18-year-old will be the youngest captain in the Eredivisie this season, so I don't know if he will be able to carry the load, and we're all looking forward to tonight's performance at Ajax.'

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yang Yang came to the referee on the sidelines.

Roosendahal's captain is their centre-back Arjan Ebinger, the 31-year-old who moved from Nijmegen this summer and was not originally qualified to be the captain, but because Roosendaal changed almost half of his main players in order to avoid relegation, Ebinger became the captain of the team.

The bald Dutch central defender was obviously a little surprised when he saw Yang Yang, but he still greeted Yang Yang with a smile.

The referee reiterated his demands for the game, hoping that it would be a smooth and fair game.

Then when he guessed the side, Yang Yang got the right to serve.

This is also a strategy that Ajax has developed early on.

Subsequently, after Yang Yang exchanged team flags with Ebinger, he shook hands with the referee team one after another, and then returned to his own half.

The whole process has come down, Yang Yang has learned the same, and he is very unfamiliar with it at all.

"Don't be pressured, just focus on the game and enjoy the game." Ronald Coman comforted Yang Yang on the sidelines, for fear that Yang Yang would have some psychological pressure.

Luther Carroll also persuaded him, basically hoping that he would be able to let go of his hands and feet.

Yang Yang understands this, and there will be no pressure, after all, beating Roosendaal is a sure thing, the difference is only how many goals he can score, and whether he can score goals.

But to say that there is no pressure, it is impossible.

After all, this is his first time captaining the team, so he always has to leave something behind, right?

…………

…………

As soon as the game began, Ajax pressed aggressively.

The team's game strategy is the same as when they played The Hague before, that is, regardless of 3721, they just pressed it and started it.

With the advantage of Charlie Steas as a high striker, as well as the team's overall midfield pressing, Roosendal was quickly overwhelmed.

In the twelfth minute of the game, after Yang Yang received a pass from McCone on the right side, he suddenly shook off the defender, cut all the way to the edge of the penalty area, and crossed to Sneijder.

This time, the Ajax midfielder stepped in and curled a straight right-footed shot into the Roosendahal goal.

After the goal, Sneijder was so excited that he hugged Yang Yang.

It's two league games in a row and it's a great feeling.

And Yang Yang was also very happy in his heart, celebrating with him, and he was also happy to see Sneijder score.

But at the same time, he's hungry for goals himself.
