The game is on Saturday and Friday. The training is mainly targeted tactical exercises.
Ajax's opponent Rosendal in the second round was not strong, and he was able to relegate last season, not because they performed well, but because Graf Sharp and Den Bosch were worse.
Therefore, the pressure to challenge Roosendaal away is not great. Whether it is training or the mentality of the players, they are more relaxed.
As usual, the night before the game, the team still checked into the hotel.
Yang Yang is no longer an inexperienced Maotou kid. He has already packed it up and has no need to go home.
Until the night fell, he returned to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes.
When he walked out of the dressing room with his luggage, he saw Luther Carol waiting outside.
"I knew you must still be here. I will send you over."
Yang Yang smiled and did not refuse, accompanied Luther Carroll to the parking lot to pick up the car.
The hotel where Ajax stays is near the Amsterdam Arena, and it is also very close to walking, but it has to be driven around.
Yang Yang vaguely guessed that Luther Carol must have something to say to himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he got into the car and caught fire, Luther Carol directly expressed his intention.
"This afternoon, we held another one-hour meeting with the technical team, focusing on the selection of the team captain."
Yang Yang listened in silence, he knew he was also one of the parties.
As early as in the afternoon, many people, including Fairmaren and Maicon, secretly stated that Yang Yang should work harder to fight, after all, it is also an honor to be the captain of Ajax.
Heitinga was obviously taken down, and Yang Yang came forward after that. With his status on the team, absolutely no one dared to say anything.
"This is the captain. At first, Zlatan tried every means to grab it. You just have to stretch out your hand and you can get it. Why don't you fight for one?" At that time, Fairmaren persuaded him so hard.
But Yang Yang has his own plans.
"The technical department and the coaching staff are more inclined to be you." Luther Carroll said.
Yang Yang was quite surprised. He originally thought that the technical department should not recognize him like this. After all, Ajax is still a club that attaches great importance to the young academy. How can he choose him?
"Sneijder still lacks something, and Heitinga has something more. If the two can neutralize, I believe that many things don't need to be so troublesome." Luther Carroll smiled bitterly.
Yang Yang nodded, "I'm afraid my qualifications are not enough."
After all, he was only eighteen years old and only two years into the team. He did perform very well, but the captain is the leader of the team. If he does not perform well, he can be a player. At the same time, he needs a qualification.
This is also what Yang Yang lacks the most.
Before, Ibrahimovic wrestled with Van der Vaart. Everyone thought he could not compete, because he was neither a young academy nor a senior, and naturally no one could choose him.
Now, the coaching staff has won Haitinga. If Yang Yang rushes out to fight, what would some local players who had a good relationship with Yang Yang think? What if, in the event of carelessness, conflicts arise within the team and the conflict between Van der Vaart and Ibrahimović is repeated again?
The reason why Yang Yang has refused to fight is because he knows very well that the captain is just a name for him.
I got it, although it was a little extra, but I did n’t get it, and it did n’t affect him.
In his own planning, he will perform in the Champions League this season. As long as he scores, he will choose to leave. However, if this captain ’s fake name now affects the unity within the team, it will affect Is the score necessary?
Yang Yang feels that this is more than gains!
"All of us know that this is your only weak link, but to be honest, we also think that no one will be more suitable than you at this stage, and I am aware of your concerns." Luther Carroll Laughed.
Yang Yang nodded. He knew that many things could not be concealed from Luther Carol.
This chief assistant coach is too familiar with the team and knows everyone very well. This is his job.
"So, we will hold a vote tonight to let everyone choose the captain."
Yang Yang nodded, and everyone selected the captain. This is the most suitable choice at present.
No matter who comes, it doesn't matter.
"I just want to tell you, don't rush to express your position and watch the changes."
Yang Yang nodded and agreed, which had no effect on him.
If everyone decides to be Sneijder or someone else, he will also make a big contribution.
After all, it doesn't matter to him to be the captain.
What he wants most is that the team can maintain unity and be able to work together to achieve good results in the Champions League, and he is using this step to do his best to jump up.
That's what he really wants.

After arriving at the hotel, Luther Carol put him off at the door and drove to the parking lot himself.
After Yang Yang entered the hotel, he came to his exclusive room familiarly.
As a result, his roommate Sneijder hadn't arrived yet, which surprised him.
"He actually arrived long ago." Fairmaren suddenly appeared at the door.
"Huh?" Yang Yang packed his things.
"He went to the boss."
Yang Yang froze a little, then frowned, but he quickly eased it.
He knows Sneijder. He looks shy and strong in his bones. If he really wants to compete for this captain, he will definitely go all out. In fact, he does have this ability.
Because he is Ajax's most established son-in-law and the core of the team's midfield.
Even if he really wanted it, Yang Yang would not mind supporting him.
"Are you really not worried at all?" Fermalen asked worriedly.
Yang Yang smiled faintly. "You always know what I want. The most important thing now is that the team stays united."
"But I think you are more suitable. I won't be convinced of the others, so I will convince you." Fairmaren said.
Yang Yang smiled and shook his head, "Will you serve me?"
"Really."
"Then you still want to kill me all day?" Yang Yang asked with a smile.
"That's ... that's because ... I regard you as the goal of struggle."
"You mean, my goal is to be the captain first, will you be the future?"
"If you have a chance, you will definitely want to be. I don't believe you don't want to."
"Of course it is the best, but I don't care."
Fermalen scratched his head in annoyance. "At this time, I wish you could be as unreasonable as Zlatan."
"Go, get away." Yang Yang scolded
Is Ibrahimovic a little unreasonable?
Is he just very unreasonable?
The room door was opened while the two were joking.
Sneijder came in from the outside and was somewhat embarrassed when he saw Yang Yang.
"Hi, Wesley." Yang Yang greeted him enthusiastically as usual, "You are a little late than usual."
Sneijder smiled awkwardly, "I'm going to talk to the boss."
Yang Yang nodded his head and didn't ask what was the matter. After he packed his things, he set up his laptop and started to study his opponent Rosendal tomorrow.
Although the opponent is not strong, but in the end is the Dutch League, sure to study, foolproof.
"The boss just said, let's go to the meeting after packing it up." Sneijder said suddenly.
With that said, he had put his things in place, turned around and walked to other rooms to inform others.
"Look, I said, he is now adapting to the new identity of the captain." Fairmaren complained to Yang Yang.
Yang Yang shook his head and smiled.
This person is really close to each other.
In fact, Yang Yang usually has a good relationship with Sneijder, after all, he is a roommate.
Because of Yang Yang, Fairmaren's relationship with Sneijder is also very good, and often fight landlords together, but when it is really time to divide each other, Fairmaren still chooses to support Yang Yang.
Of course, this is just a fight for a captain's armband, not a big deal.
…………
…………
Entering the conference room one after the other, Yang Yang looked as usual.
Everyone was obviously paying attention to him, and everyone wanted to dig something out of his face, but Yang Yang always smiled, as usual, and could not see anything unusual.
After greeting each other one by one, Yang Yang and Fairmaren sat down between Sneijder and Maxwell.
Soon, Ronald Coleman and Luther Carroll also walked into the meeting room.
The entire meeting room became quiet in an instant.
Everyone looked up at the head coach Ronald Coleman who stood in front of them, and wanted to hear what he was going to say.
Ronald Coleman's opening is mainly to introduce the current situation of the team, saying that because of the suspension of Heitinga's red card, the team needs to choose a new captain to perform its duties.
Although it is not stated clearly, everyone has basically heard that the coaching staff wants to remove Heitinga ’s captain.
Heitinga obviously knew the result long ago, so there is no abnormality.
"In the past, the selection of the captain was usually appointed by the coaching staff, but now entering a new era, many rules also need to change to adapt to the thinking of young people now."
After Ronald Coman said this, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
Ajax still dominates with young people.
"So, this time we decided to vote for the team's new team captain by voting together with all the players in the first team, and you can now stand up first and propose the captain you think is most suitable."
As soon as Ronald Coleman's voice fell, there was a rush of noise in the conference room.
Vote for the captain?
This is new.
The most famous vote for the captain was in 2004, when Barcelona captain Luis Enrique retired. They were also difficult to choose. The final decision was to vote by election, and Puyol was elected by vote Became the undisputed team captain.
This news also caused a heated discussion in the world media.
I just didn't expect that Ajax is now advancing with the times, adopting this way of voting.
Everyone knows that Maxwell has no intention of running. He should support Yang Yang, and Yang Yang and Sneijder are the real candidates.
As soon as Ronald Coleman's voice fell, Sneijderhodi stood up.
Everyone in the audience was surprised.
Is this to recommend yourself?
