Since the competition time was scheduled at 6:30 in the evening, Yang Yang still practiced on the morning of the competition day.
Let him leave the hotel to practice on his own, which is also a privilege granted to him by the coaching staff.
Everyone has become accustomed to this.
Yang Yang turned the ball and set off from the hotel all the way to the west and ran to Lake Audekerke.
After three laps along the lake, he ran back to the hotel and entered the hotel gym.
By this time, Winston Bogard had been waiting for him in the gym.
The Kong Wu powerful Dutch macho smiled as soon as he saw Yang Yang.
"Congratulations, Captain!"
Yang Yang was a little embarrassed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not ready yet!"
"Get used to it slowly, Captain." Winston Bogard shouted again and couldn't help laughing.
The meeting last night went smoothly.
After Ronald Coman announced that the players would vote for the captain, everyone was wondering who Yang Yang and Sneijder would stand out from and who would become Ajax's next captain.
But at this time, Sneijder suddenly stood up. When everyone thought he would bravely recommend himself, he suddenly chose Yang Yang, saying that he recommended Yang Yang as the team captain and would do his best to cooperate. He, support him.
Sneijder's decision surprised everyone, and no one thought that he would choose to support Yang Yang.
With all the biggest competitors announcing the rebellion, Yang Yang ’s election has no controversy.
Heitinga and De Jong made it clear that no one was elected but Yang Yang.
Especially Heitinga, this is a thorn, it is really not easy to surrender him.
Under the situation that the local faction has made it clear, players such as Maxwell, Fairmaren, Maicon and Yaya Touré have all recommended Yang Yang. The new captain of Jax.
After returning to the hotel room, Sneijder told Yang Yang that he had never thought about arguing from the beginning.
Yang Yang also said that he also did not want to argue.
"But all of us think you are the most appropriate." Sneijder said sincerely.
In this way, the two turned into mustards, Yang Yang was unanimously elected.
This is also the first non-European player elected captain in the history of Ajax, the Chinese captain from Asia.
In retrospect, Yang Yang still felt a little funny.
He had never imagined that before, he could become the captain of Ajax, but it happened.
Early in the morning, when he told this news to Su Ye, who was far away in Beijing, the girl was mad, and when she called, she laughed vigorously and was happy for Yang Yang from the heart.
"I really hope to be by your side, happy to accompany you and laugh with you." Su Ye said without exception.
Yang Yang did not think of keeping her by his side. With his current ability, there is no problem in supporting her. He can even arrange for Su Ye to study in Europe, but he knows that he cannot be so selfish.
He has his own dream to pursue, and Su Ye also wants to chase her dream.

After returning from the gym, Yang Yang returned to the room to take a shower and change clothes. After going out, he went to breakfast with his teammates.
Over the years, Ajax has continued to maintain strict discipline, including meals on the day of the game are uniform time, the purpose is to allow players to maintain the best physical condition in the game.
As the captain, it was supposed to be Yang Yang ’s responsibility to organize his teammates ’meals, but now he has delegated full power to Galasek.
The reason is simple, he is really a rookie in this regard.
Although I usually have a lot of experience, participation and leadership are two different things.
The teammates all wanted to laugh as soon as they saw him. Obviously they all felt that Yang Yang was a strange leader.
In fact, Yang Yang's popularity on the team is also very good, otherwise not so many people will support him as captain.
This also made many people joke with him, some extorted his new official should be invited to take office, while others think he did not take out the majesty of the captain, should make himself more aggressive, all are some kind of ridicule.
"Okay, okay, everyone don't make fun of him." Garasek shouted and stopped.
As a result of last night's vote, a potential contradiction was eliminated invisible, which is also the best choice for the team.
Furthermore, most people in the team feel that Yang Yang is the most suitable team leader.

Ajax departed from the hotel after lunch and lunch break, when the team had a full rest and recuperated.
After more than an hour's drive, after the team arrived at Rosendahl, they came directly to Herstark Stadium.
Roosendaal is just a small town near the southern border of the Netherlands. It has a small population and a small stadium capacity. It can only accommodate 5,000 fans. Each time it plays against a domestic giant team like Ajax, they Can fill the stadium.
When Ajax entered the field for pre-match training, it even aroused cheers from fans on the spot.
This is the UEFA Cup champion!
Yang Yang is undoubtedly the most popular player in the Ajax team, and has become the player that Rosendal fans shout the most.
Obviously, they are all very open, after all, the strength of the team is there, for them, to enjoy the game is the most important.
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 watch of all the players.
"For the first time, let me help you wear it." Luther Carol smiled.
Yang Yang nodded and raised his left arm.
This is a new type of captain's armband. In addition to the sticking function, it also has an elastic band effect. After wearing it, it is tightly tied on the arm and will not fall off.
Yang Yang was wearing the captain's armband for the first time. It felt a little strange. After all, there was something on his left arm.
But under the watch of his teammates, he also gradually felt the weight of the captain's armband.
This is not only an honor of his own, but also a trust of all the team in him.
"I promise, I will never let you down!" Yang Yanglang said.
The teammates in the locker room nodded one after another. When they passed Yang Yang one after another, they all took the initiative to shake hands and hug him.
This is his first game as the team captain, and Ajax's second league game this season.
Opponent Rosendal is not strong, but the test is still there.

Renardo Wedemeyer, 37 years old.
This season is the fourth season of his law enforcement in the Dutch League, but he did not expect him to encounter a thing enough for him to relish, that is, Ajax even arranged for the youngest captain ever .
Eighteen-year-old Yang Yang actually put on the captain's armband of Ajax, which is definitely a new thing.
In particular, when the players of the two teams led by him and walked out of the stadium one after another, Yang Yang was at the forefront as the captain. This change quickly attracted the attention of the media and fans on the scene.
"Ajax seems to have changed."
"We can see that after the red card suspension of Heitinga, Fairmaren and Vlar joined together, which is not surprising, but in the order of appearance of this game, Yang Yang is at the forefront of the team."
"The captain's armband of Ajax was also worn on Yang Yang."
"Obviously, when Heitinga's red card was suspended, Ajax arranged for Yang Yang to be the captain of the team."
"This 18-year-old player will be the youngest captain in the Dutch League this season. I don't know if he can provoke this burden, and we are all looking forward to Ajax's performance tonight. "
In the cheers of the fans on the spot, Yang Yang came to the referee on the sidelines.
Rosendal ’s captain is their centre-back Aryan Ebinger. The 31-year-old halfback was transferred from Nijmegen this summer and was not originally qualified as a captain, but because of Rosendal In order to avoid relegation, almost half of the main players have been replaced, making Ebinger the captain of the team.
The bald Dutch central defender was a little surprised when he saw Yang Yang, but he greeted Yang Yang with a smile.
The referee reiterated his requirements for the game, hoping that this is a smooth and fair game.
Then when guessing the side, Yang Yang got the right to serve.
This is also the strategy that Ajax formulated early on.
Subsequently, after exchanging team flags with Ebinger, Yang Yang shook hands with the referee team one after another, and then returned to his own half.
The whole process came down, Yang Yang has learned everything, and he is very strange to it at all.
"Don't be stressed, just as usual, just concentrate on the game and enjoy the game." Ronald Coman placated Yang Yang on the sidelines, for fear that Yang Yang would be psychologically stressed.
Luther Carroll also persuaded him to say that he generally hoped he could let go of his hands and feet.
Yang Yang understands this, and there will not be any pressure. After all, defeating Rosendahl is a matter of stability, the difference is only the ability to score a few goals, and whether he can score.
But it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.
After all, this is his first time as captain of the team, always want to leave something?

At the beginning of the game, Ajax rushed to attack.
The team's game strategy is exactly the same as when it was played in The Hague.
With the high center advantage of Charles Steas, and the team's overall midfield and frontline oppression, Roosendaal was quickly overwhelmed.
When the game reached the twelfth minute, Yang Yang received McKon's pass on the right and suddenly threw away the defensive player. He cut all the way to the front of the penalty area and passed it to Sneijder.
This time, the Ajax midfielder inserted a direct kick from the right foot and pushed the ball into Rosendal's goal.
After scoring, Sneijder was so excited that he embraced Yang Yang.
It was a great feeling that he scored goals in two consecutive league games.
Yang Yang was also very happy and accompanied him to celebrate. He was also happy to see Sneijder score.
But at the same time, he is also eager to score himself.
