"No, right? You're going to go to the gym to practice more?"

"Oh, God, you must be in a bad mind, that place is simply a nightmare."

"Please, Yang Yang, you are a speed player, flexibility is your advantage, and strength will make you clumsy."

"Winston Bogard, he's a devil, do you know how scary it is?"

...

When Yang Yang returned to the players' lounge, his teammates had already received the news, and they all surrounded him and advised him not to be so cruel to him. In their opinion, the gym was simply hell on earth.

But it is normal. The average age of Ajax players is only in their early twenties, there is not much strength training, and the gym is so hard. Under normal circumstances, no one usually goes except for the training classes arranged by the head coach and recovery from injuries.

So, for a long time, Ajax has not even arranged a special fitness coach.

Ronald Koeman should have realized this, so he specifically strengthened this aspect. He believes that the next step will be increased in physical fitness training and strengthen the physical strength of Ajax players, especially in the midfield and backcourt.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about central defenders. Height is an objective factor and cannot be changed, but the power confrontation can be strengthened.

Defending high balls is Ajax's always disadvantage. Strengthening the physical strength of the central defender can make up for this aspect to a certain extent.

"Bogard looks very powerful, but he gives me the feeling that he is very academic and a good person." Yang Yang clarified.

This was indeed his first impression of Bogard. He spoke and did things very well and had a clear purpose.

"Believe me, buddy, no one will like that place, you better not go there." Maxwell advised.

Brazilians have excellent personalities and there is no need to say about their professional ethics, but they are somewhat not motivated enough and some are as contented as they happen.

Of course, as a friend, Maxwell is definitely the one who is most worth dating.

"I know, but I really feel that I can strengthen my training in this area."

As he said that, Yang Yang patted his shoulders, stretched out his hands, and let his teammates take a good look.

He doesn't have muscles. He has played so long, so he must have muscles, but he looks very thin.

"Since the last stage of last season, the opponent has been strengthening my defense. I started playing this season. They even arranged a person to defend me. And they knew that my physical strength was not good, so they kept entangled in close contact and decided to take me."

When Yang Yang spoke, his expression was very serious, not like he was joking at all, and what he said was the truth.

It can be said that once Yang Yang is under guard, he can only run non-stop.

But the problem is that he ran out of the gap and wanted his teammates to pass the ball. It would take some time in the middle. Once the opponent reacted and immediately competed closely, Yang Yang was in a very disadvantaged position at this time.

There were several times when I had a good chance, but my body was at a disadvantage and I was squeezed by the other party and lost the opportunity.

Sometimes when he gets the ball, he loses balance by the opponent. These are all caused by his insufficient physical strength.

There is no feeling in the Eredivisie League, but if you have the opportunity to enter the four major leagues in the future, the opponent's defense will become more and more strict, and the strength of the defensive players will become stronger and stronger. At that time, Yang Yang's shortcomings in this area will be exposed more clearly.

With the fierce competition among the four major league teams, if Yang Yang cannot seize the opportunity from the beginning, it will be difficult for him to compete for the main position, so he has to lay a solid foundation during Ajax.

That's why he stayed in Ajax.

He must be fully prepared to make up for all the shortcomings he should fill, and then enter the four major leagues.

Either he doesn't go, and if he wants to go, he has to compete for the main force, and he is the main force of the Champions League teams in the four major leagues.

Otherwise, it would be better to stay in Ajax, at least there is a Champions League here every year.

The teammates also understood Yang Yang's problem. He was a little thin, and he was indeed at a disadvantage in this regard.

"But you are only seventeen years old." Maxwell still felt that it was not appropriate.

"I'll be eighteen soon." Yang Yang reminded.

On October 25th, his birthday is coming soon.

"As far as I know, the age group with the most exercise value is eighteen to twenty-three. If you don't work hard during this period, will you regret it later?"

When Maxwell heard this, he was immediately upset, "Hey, hey, buddy, what do you mean?"

The surroundings immediately burst into laughter. Everyone knew that Maxwell happened to be twenty-three years old.

Yang Yang's words meant some warning to him.

"Ha, you know what it means yourself." Yang Yang laughed, "We Chinese have a saying that if you don't work hard when you are young, you will only be sad when you are old, and you will reflect on yourself."

He has a good relationship with Maxwell and is used to joking with each other and doesn't care too much about it.

But Douglas Macon, behind Maxwell, changed his face when he heard it, and he was twenty-three years old.

As a peer, he was once a player of the Brazilian National Youth Team. Macon has not performed well so far. He has not been able to play as a main player in Cruzero before. After joining Ajax this season, he has performed very poorly on the court many times. Currently, he is not as good as Grigra in the competition for the main right back.

After finally coming to Europe and joining a team like Ajax, he didn't want to be sent back to Brazil in shame.

Yang Yang's words just now brought him a great touch.

Others have different reactions. After all, they are all young people in their twenties. How many of them can be as precocious as Yang Yang and know how to consider and plan their future?

More people are still caring about the joy in front of them. In addition, the training in the gym is really too hard. Not to mention young people, even some adult players are very resistant. Who would take the initiative to go to the gym to find abuse like Yang Yang?

…………

The intensity of the afternoon training class is still not very high.

Ronald Komant took half of the time to train in the game tactical training.

Roda JC is not very strong. Ajax won both games last season, 2-1 away and 4-2 at home. It can be said that they won without any danger and have an advantage in overall strength.

Their performance this season is not good, with three wins, one draw and three losses in the first seven rounds, but one thing is worth noting that they played well away. They have won two of the three away games so far this season, including a four-to-three defeat to Helenfin, which is quite difficult.

This is also what Ronald Koeman reminds players to pay attention to.

Roda JC is definitely inferior to Ajax in terms of strength, but overall, they may not be able to play at a high level away.

On the one hand, there are many international players in Ajax, and many players are running back and forth, so they are definitely very tired, but they are resting on their strength; on the other hand, Ajax's current offense has not been adjusted yet, and the team's offense this season has been relatively bad.

Yang Yang was there in the first three rounds, and the team played well, but in the following games, they did not show a good offensive level.

Charles Tias and Wesley Songk, one is the European Cup champion and the other is the Golden Boot of the BBQ. They must have both strength, but the key now is how to play to their level, especially Wesley Songkk.

The reason why the team introduced Charles Tias was to activate Wesley Songk's attack power, but judging from the previous rounds, he seemed to have not found the goal-scoring sense of the former Golden Boot.

The good news for Ajax is that Yang Yang returns to the team, but for the sake of safety, Yang Yang can only be a substitute in this game.

Ryan Babel, Maduro, Lindgren and others were all drawn into the first team and they all got the chance to play in the first team, but they all performed quite averagely and it is still difficult to play in the first team.

On the contrary, right winger Demoor is highly valued this season. When Yang Yang was still in the team, he was a substitute. When Yang Yang was not there, he was helped to the main position, but his performance has never been satisfactory.

However, he is the right winger with the closest characteristics to Yang Yang in Ajax.

During the afternoon tactical training, Yang Yang could guess that Ronald Koeman's intention should still use Demoore to play the right winger, and Charles Tias will definitely occupy the center position.

For the left winger, Wesley Songk may be placed on the bench, but Pinal may take the position.

The reason for such adjustments is mainly because Wesley Songk's performance was not very good, and he played in the national team again and ran back and forth. Pinal was able to be competent as the left winger, freeing up the middle lane, allowing De Jong and Galasek to partner with double midfielders.

Sneider is still the core player in the midfield.

As for the defense, if there is no accident, Grigra plays on the right, Heatinga and Fermulen partner in the middle, and Maxwell still plays on the left, mainly because both forwards of Roda JC are both speed-type, and Fermulen has more advantages in defending forwards.

Judging from tactical training, Yang Yang felt that his guess should be almost the same. Ronald Koeman's arrangement of troops was somewhat cautious. Considering that he was still fighting at home, he could even be said to be conservative.

But if we look at the current actual situation of Ajax, it would feel normal.

For professional leagues, winning is the king, being beautiful is a plus point question. The prerequisite for winning is to be able to win.

Ajax has lost four rounds and has lost ten consecutively. His league ranking is even worse than Roda JC. No matter from which perspective, the most important thing is to win.

Win first, slowly adjust the team's state, and get the tactics in place, then consider how to win beauty.

Obviously, Ronald Koeman and the coaching staff are very well prepared and responded to this.

As for Yang Yang himself, the task is very simple.

If the team is in the lead before the substitute comes on the court, then his task is to expand the score and win beautifully; if the team cannot start the situation or even fall behind, then his task is to help the team win.

After thinking this level through, Yang Yang thought it was quite funny.
Chapter completed!
