Chapter 102： Lucky star

On the evening of January 24, 2004, Amsterdam Arena.

When the game reached the 60th minute and the score on the field was still zero to zero, Ronald Coman made another substitution adjustment. Yang Yang, wearing the number 99 shirt, stood on the field again. side.

All the fans in the audience gave him warm applause.

"We can see that Ronald Coman finally couldn't help but change."

"In another game that was going on at the same time, PSV already had a 2-0 lead in the first half."

"Yang Yang, wearing the number ninety-nine jersey, once again stood on the sidelines. He should be replacing Victor Scola on the right."

"This 17-year-old teenager was the biggest surprise of Ajax in the first half. The repeated substitutions in the last few games brought surprises and changes, which won the love of Ajax fans. I believe this One of his bench appearances can also bring surprises. "

"But this time, he was faced with Nijmegen ’s left-back Jeffrey Lewakabesi, the former Dutch national youth team ’s main player. His performance in Nijmegen in the past two years has also won the recognition of fans. I believe the two will have a wonderful duel on the sidelines. "

"Sure enough, on the 99th, Yang Yang replaced Victor Scola on the 11th. This is also the first substitution of Ajax in this game. See if Coman's substitution can work."

"After the substitutions, Ajax left Tridell, Wesley Songk and Yang Yang to form a trident in the frontcourt, the middle road is still a combination of Van der Vaart, Sneijder and veteran Galasek, the back line is It was O'Brien who was placed in the left-back position. Escud and Heitinga formed a central defender. De Jong, who was playing in the midfield, was adjusted to the right-back position. "

"Affected by the fact that several internationals were transferred to participate in the African Cup, Ajax had some problems on the right, and Ibrahimovic and Maxwell were injured in this round. Ajax Cox did not do his best to play, which also made it difficult for the team to win Nijmegen in the game. "

"Let's see if Yang Yang can change the team after playing."

...

"Okay, Ajax successfully blocked the ball in the backcourt. De Jong and Galasek successfully broke the ball."

"Hand it to Sneijder, a long pass ..."

"Yang Yang is fast, Ajax's counterattack."

"Look at this attack."

"Yang Yang chased the ball, but Leiva Cabesi's defense was also very fast, and the two formed a one-on-one on the side."

"Emergency stop, continuous change of direction to pull the ball ..."

"Pretty!"

"Yang Yang's movement frequency is very fast. Although he failed to completely get rid of Leiva Cabesi's defense, he drew the ball inside ..."

"The cross was passed to Van der Vaart ..."

"Nijmegen is in neutral, Van der Vaart straight ... Wesley Songk ..."

"Goal !!!!"

"Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"

"Sixty-three minutes, sixty-third minutes!"

"Yang Yang, who had just come off the bench, planned a very sharp counterattack on the right side, dribbling the ball into the 30-meter area of ​​Nijmegen, and after an inside pass, the cross was passed to Van der Vaart. The ball tore off Nijmegen ’s defense, Wesley Sock succeeded in the offside, and the ball was put into the goal of Nijmegen.

"One to zero, Ajax took the lead."

"It was a golden goal, an assist from Van der Vaart, Wesley Songk's shot was very beautiful, there was a fake move to confuse the goalkeeper, which reflects the calmness of the Belgian striker in front of the goal, and his A keen sense of shooting. "

"We have to admit now that Yang Yang is indeed a lucky star of Ajax and a lucky star of Ronald Coman."

"After he played, the first time he touched the ball formed a very threatening counterattack, continuously changing the direction of the side to pull the ball, and throwing off Reivaca Besineche's action is also very beautiful."

"This is the fifth consecutive game. Yang Yang changed the game after coming off the bench."

"It's too incredible to believe because he was just 17 years old, but whether it is the reading comprehension of the game or the execution of the coach's tactical intentions, it is surprising."

"Perhaps, Ronald Coleman really should start thinking about whether to help Yang Yang to the main position. After all, Ajax's right road has changed frequently after Van der Mede left the team. Candidates. "

"But now, Yang Yang's appearance has solved this problem very well."

"The tridents of Wesley Sock, Ibrahimovic and Yang Yang, plus the midfield of Van der Vaart and Sneijder, this set of offensive combinations by Ajax is definitely worth looking forward to."

"Sorry, this is not yet in our plan."

With Wesley Songk ’s valuable goal, Ajax defeated visiting Nijmegen one by one. At the post-match press conference, when the reporter asked if the head coach would support Yang Yang, Rona De Coman answered without hesitation.

"I know that Yang Yang's recent performance is indeed quite good. He has played a key role in several consecutive games, but I want to say that he is only 17 years old, and he is too early to be the main force, which is also inappropriate. "

"Whether it is me, the technical team, or the players themselves, I hope that I can get more relaxed exercise opportunities and room for growth. It is obviously not a good decision to take the lead position too early."

This statement by Ronald Coleman obviously cannot satisfy the appetite of the live media, because they are more willing to speculate as a rising star than watching Ajax keep protecting Yang Yang.

"Mr. Coman, but as far as we know, Yang Yang does not seem to be satisfied with the status quo. His agent has reservations about his current situation, and we have also received news that there are currently many Dutch teams that are against Yang Yang. Interested, what do you think? "

Ronald Coman has long known that paper cannot cover fire, and many things are difficult to stop the pervasive media reporters.

"I have read the news report, but I do n’t think this is the real situation. I talked to Yang Yang. He has great confidence in me and the coaching staff. He believes that he can get better development space in Ajax. This is also What we have always done best, have n’t we?

"For example?" The reporter questioned again.

"We can help him further lay a solid foundation, which can help him achieve better and higher achievements in the future."

"But as far as we know, there is a problem with his contract with Ajax. If he leaves Ajax during the summer, it is very likely that he will only need to pay a small compensation fee, and we all believe that with his recent In the performance of several games, there will be many clubs willing to pay him this amount, and then give him a more generous contract. "

The reporters have clearly investigated that Yang Yang ’s weekly salary in Ajax is only 400 euros. This is not only the minimum salary of the first team, but also only in the middle and lower reaches of the second team, including Maduro and Linde. Many players including Lun are a bit higher than Yang Yang, and their salary is twice that of Yang Yang.

After Babel renewed his contract, his salary also rose to more than twice that of Yang Yang.

Of course, media reporters will not be so arrogant, and they are outspoken about Yang Yang's salary. They still want to take this opportunity to hype the possibility of Yang Yang leaving the team, so as to attract the attention of Ajax fans and promote the sales of newspapers.

"Thank you very much for the media reporter ’s concern, but what I want to say is that Yang Yang ’s renewal has entered the club ’s schedule. At present, everything is going smoothly. I believe everyone can get the answer soon. As for others, I ’m temporarily There is no way to reveal more. "

Ronald Coman said that the expression on his face became very serious, "but I can take this opportunity to tell all Ajax fans and friends who care about Ajax, Yang Yang does not have any renewal. Question, he personally promised me that he will never leave Ajax, I believe him. "

But as the team's head coach, Ronald Coman's commitment clearly cannot calm the outside media's speculation.

"As far as I know, Mr. Coman and Yang Yang fired their original agent immediately after returning from the winter training in Portugal. Does this mean that Ajax and his renewal plan have changed?"

"Sorry, this involves his personal affairs. What I can say is that he will stay in Ajax."

"But there are rumors that he authorized the agent to contact the Dutch team, what do you think?"

"I won't answer any speculative questions."

…………

There is no way for media reporters to get effective information from the head coach Ronald Coman, and naturally it is difficult to knock Van Gaal's mouth open.

In an interview with the media, the technical director of Ajax also repeatedly emphasized that Yang Yang will not leave Detok Most.

"Renewal has been on the agenda, everything is under our control."

But this is still unable to quell the outside discussion, and even many fans have called the club one after another, requesting Yang Yang to stay anyway.

A week later, Ajax ushered in the eighteenth round of the Dutch League, challenging Heerenveen away.

For the Dutch Cup in the middle of the week, Ronald Koeman once again made a rotation adjustment to the lineup. Ibrahimovic continued to miss, but the left-back Maxwell returned, the team just imported from Rhoda jc Greek high Center Anastasius won and trident with Driedell and Victor Scola.

As a result, no one thought that before the end of the first half, Ajax made a mistake and lost a goal, eager to win in the second half, not long after the opening was scored two consecutive counterattacks.

By the time Yang Yang came off the bench in the 75th minute, the team was already three goals behind.

In this case, no matter how hard Yang Yang tried, it was difficult to change the morale of the team's collapse. After the 83rd minute, the opponent scored another goal.

However, before the game came to an end, Yang Yang's counter-attack made a right breakthrough and threatened. When the low-level ball came into the penalty area, the opposing center defender Hansen blocked the ball into his own goal and became an own goal.

In the end, Ajax returned with a regretful defeat of one to four away.

Rival Eindhoven defeated Zwolle five to one at home, successfully scoring back league points by one point.

The Dutch League, the Dutch Cup, the UEFA Champions League, and the three-line battle made it difficult for Ajax to stay focused and focus on competitiveness.

Returning from the fiasco of Heerenveen also put pressure on Ronald Coman and the team.

Because the next team to face is the rival Feyenoord.
