On the night of the game, Ajax held another pre-match meeting, and Ronald Coman announced his lineup.
The goalkeeper is Robont, the back line is Maxwell, Escud, Heitinga and Trabelsi. The midfielder is De Jong, Van der Vaart and Sneijder are in the center. The frontcourt is Wesley. Songk, Ibrahimovic and Victor Scola.
Yang Yang came off the bench again. The exact time depends on the game, but it should be in the second half.
Since the league had no suspense early, the Dutch Cup final opponent Utrecht could not threaten Ajax, so the team has more than ten days of preparation time, the players already know everything about Porto, the closer to the game, all Instead, people's hearts are calmer.
After the pre-match meeting and before all electronic devices were turned in, the players were given a time to talk to their family members on the phone.
Yang Yang called his parents who lived in Gelsenkirchen. They arrived in Amsterdam yesterday, and today they flew from Amsterdam to Gelsenkirchen with their uncle Shen Ming's family and a group of relatives and friends with Ajax.
But because Yang Yang came to Germany with the team yesterday afternoon, he did not see it.
When Yang Yang made a phone call, his parents were very lively. They had n’t met their uncles for a long time, and they had endless topics. Among them, Yang Yang ’s affairs were most concerned about.
Wei Zheng and cousin Shen Yuzhu are about to return to China for development. By that time, there will be two uncles and aunts in the Netherlands. They have a house in their hometown and plan to continue earning in the Netherlands for a few years.
As soon as I heard that Yang Yang was calling, everyone was very concerned. He kept asking incessantly. Wei Zhen was most concerned about Yang Yang ’s game tomorrow. After learning that he was still a substitute, he was still a little disappointed, but he also I know that Yang Yang is only 17 years old, and it is still not suitable for major events such as the Champions League final.
"Relax, we will definitely win." Yang Yang said confidently.
Everyone encouraged them after listening. Among them, a strange girl's voice was very pleasant and pleasant, making people feel a soft and sweet feeling, using a standard Beijing tone, I think it should be brought by Wei Zhen from China friend.
In the Champions League final, Ajax gave each player of the first team 25 tickets each, but Yang Yang ’s friends are not many, John Rep and others will have club tickets, while domestic The friends who are willing to travel long distances to see the finals are not many, so Yang Yang gave Wei Zhen the tickets except for his parents and his uncle's family.
Wei Zhen also helped Yang Yang to handle things very well, from helping his parents go abroad to buy air tickets and book a hotel, he is responsible for all things, which also relieves Yang Yang from worries.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Yang warmed up when he remembered that he had not seen his parents for two years.
This is also the first time he has played in front of his parents since he came to Europe, and he cannot lose anyway.

On the day of the game, after eating breakfast, Ajax held another tactical meeting. This time it was mainly to study the offense and defense of free kicks. Ronald Coman's preparations were even detailed for each player's task.
After the meeting, everyone had a simple restorative training in the park next to the hotel.
Lunch, rest, afternoon tea, departure.
Going south from the Berg Hotel, the closer you are to the Schalke, the more fans you will meet on the road, both Ajax and Porto, but because Gelsenkirchen is closer to the Netherlands, Ajak Fans will obviously have more fans.
Along the way, there was silence in the bus. The players were either listening to music or closing their eyes to refresh themselves. Others were looking sideways at the window and thinking, but no one spoke.
Tonight this game will be the most important game for everyone so far, no one dares to carelessly.
When the team arrived and went to Schalke, the Ajax fans on the scene all rushed to greet them. They shouted slogans and encouraged the team. I hope everyone can continue to inspire and strive for Ajax. Add another Champions League champion.
The players didn't stay outside, they got into the player's tunnel directly after getting off the bus.
Organized things in the locker room, and soon led by the coaching staff and UEFA staff, walked into the stadium for the final warm-up training before the game, and at this time, the stadium's stands had already been enthusiastic fans Occupies most of it.
When Yang Yang walked out of the passageway, he heard many Ajax fans chanting his name in unison, which made him habitually raise his hands to thank the fans, and suddenly caused a burst of cheers and applause.
As he walked toward the stadium, Yang Yang kept searching the stands. According to the tickets, he could roughly know the area where his parents and uncles were sitting, but there were too many fans on the scene, and the head of the stands was like ants. Not at all clear.
But he knew that at this moment, his parents and uncles must have been sitting somewhere in the stands and were watching him.
This feeling is very strong, bringing him unprecedented courage and encouragement, let him make up his mind, no matter what he must do his best to win this game, let them feel proud and proud of themselves.

"Look, Yang Yang is out!"
"It's him, it's really him."
At the moment when Yang Yang walked out of the player's channel, the tears of mother Shen Lifang couldn't help but fall.
It's been two years, but I haven't seen it in two years.
In the past two years, she missed him almost every night, worrying about how well he is in the Netherlands, how well the ball is played, and whether she will be bullied. She is worried all the time.
But now, when she sees people, she feels a little stranger, not the same as her son.
"He is a little taller and a little fatter." Father Yang Yongqiang said with red eyes and gritted teeth.
"Uncle Yang, it's not fat, it's strong." Wei Zheng reminded with a smile. "He is now a professional player. He has strict rules for three meals a day, and he is thin. The physical fitness training has been strengthened, and it is now much stronger than before, but it is still relatively thin and needs to be strengthened. "
"Oh, yes, yes, it is strong, not fat." Yang Yongqiang nodded with joy.
"Hey, Yang Yang, we are here, have you seen it, uncle and aunt are here, have you seen it?"
After seeing Yang Yang walk out of the player's tunnel, he turned to look at his stand, and Shen Yuzhu immediately stood up and shouted.
But there were too many people on the scene and too much noise. Her shouts could not reach Yang Yang at all, and it was difficult for Yang Yang to see him from so many fans, and quickly ran into the stadium under the greeting of teammates .
…………
…………
The capacity to go to Schalke is more than 50,000 people, which is similar to the Amsterdam Arena.
But I don't know why. Yang Yang's feeling is quite different. It seems that he is warming up in this stadium, he can't relax easily, his body is slow, and the whole person is hard to get excited.
He is very clear that this is the pressure that the Champions League final brought him.
Since he entered the first team, almost every game is under pressure.
In the first game against Bruges, he came off the bench at the last crucial moment, then played Eindhoven, he also came off the bench, and later played Arsenal, Real Madrid, Monaco, he was under pressure to play .
But the pressure on this game tonight far exceeds all previous games.
For this, Yang Yang has a clear enough understanding, and he also knows that he can overcome this pressure.
At the end of the warm-up, back to the locker room, all the players did not speak, and there was silence in the locker room.
Even Ibrahimovic, who had the most nerves on weekdays, was sitting in front of the closet with a serious face at this moment, straightening his chest, and each deep breath seemed to calm down his inner emotions.
Ronald Coman came in, but like all players, he didn't speak.
By this time, he can do very little, because he has no way to replace the players in the game, he has no way to make his players not nervous, and there is no way for the players to relieve the pressure and play lightly.
To put it bluntly, tension and pressure have always been part of the football game. The more important the game, the more intense and stressful.
Professional players have no way to avoid it, only to overcome it.
This morning, he had an in-depth exchange with every player on the team, especially this time Victor Scola, who returned to the lineup again, Ronald Coman's love for this member for many years will also be open and open. , I hope he can have a good performance in the final, whether it is leaving the team or staying next, it will be good for him.
For Yang Yang, everyone in Ajax is very clear that he is the future of the team, but it is difficult to provoke the team's girders within two years, so he still substitutes for this game.
Technical director Van Gaal also said that the substitute is the best option to play Yang Yang's threat.
And the real test of this game is in the back line. Heitinga is prone to recklessness and Escud is relatively stable, but Ajax's traditional four three three play is easy to make the team too rash and expose his origins. Later, this requires two defenders to be stable.
Garassek is absent, De Jong is the team's midfield barrier. Ronald Coman is most worried about his actions. As a defensive midfielder, too large moves are easy to get a card. Once the card is won, it is inevitable It ’s not good for the game.
On the contrary, it is an offensive. Ronald Coman is the least worried. This is Ajax's advantage.
It wasn't until the time was up and the player's mood had basically calmed down. Ronald Coman exhaled deeply and stood up.
"Okay, everyone."
Everyone stood up.
"I won't say much more than necessary. We have already prepared all that should be said and prepared."
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Tonight this game may be the most important game of your career so far, but what I want to tell you is that, the moment you walk into this stadium, you have become a club legend. "
After everyone listened, they all raised their heads and raised their chests.
"So, don't be under pressure. Tonight, enjoy the game as much as you can and do everything we can. Don't leave any regrets, that's enough."
After that, Ronald Coman embraced this group of fighters one by one.
