At the end of August every year, media and fans all over the world will focus their attention on the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco.
The annual UEFA Champions League group draw and UEFA awards ceremony will be held here.
But this year is obviously different.
Before the entrance time, more and more media reporters and fans from all over the world have gathered outside the conference center. The number is obviously better than in previous years. They are all anxiously looking forward to it.
Will Yang Yang come?
This is a topic that the world football can't get around anyway.
Even if he has left the mainstream league of the world football and has come to the decline of the Dutch League, he still attracts the attention of many media reporters and fans, and every game will be reported and concerned by the media.
Does he play? How is Ajax playing? Is he capable of coaching Ajax?
All questions attract the attention of the media and fans all over the world, and they all want to know the answer.
But, after coming to Amsterdam, Yang Yang seemed to evaporate. He neither interviewed by the media nor showed up actively. He didn't even play the game for a minute.
All people can see is that he can stand in front of the bench and direct the team's game.
Is he really planning to retire?
But Ajax registered him in the team's roster and the Champions League lineup, which proves that he is still a professional player.
All of these doubts are difficult to get answers, and even the Ajax management's answers to the outside world are the same, that is, they believe that Yang Yang has his own plan and timetable and will not interfere.
Many people think that Yang Yang is already the biggest shock to opponents just by sitting on the sidelines.
Today, at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, Yang Yang may be one of the few. When facing the public, many people have doubts in his mind. Will he come?
Will Yang Yang, who was banned from UEFA not long ago, come to support this game?
...
When Yang Yang opened the door of the welcome car, one foot stepped out of the car, and the whole person came out of the car, the audience burst into thunderous cheers, and the originally quiet meeting place suddenly became extremely warm.
Media reporters and fans are crying out Yang Yang's name frantically.
That momentum frightened everyone in the entire venue. They never imagined that, away from the mainstream league, Yang Yang, who has "evaporated on earth" for nearly two months, can still have such amazing popularity, completely absorbing all the stars around And the people in the football world have covered up.
Yang Yang was already used to such occasions. He smiled and waved with the media reporters and fans, and slowly walked towards the venue.
He knew that if he stayed, he would soon disrupt the order at the scene.
"Yang, I am a Times reporter. I would like to ask, have you decided to retire?"
"Yang Yang, when will you play?"
"We want to watch your game, Yang Yang!"
"I love you, Yang Yang!"
"Don't retire, kick to 40 years old!"
The fanatical shouts of media reporters and fans are intertwined, and it is not at all clear who yelled or what yelled.
Yang Yang could only keep a courteous smile and slowly walked into the venue.

"Huh, the limelight is still taken away by you."
Yang Yang had just entered the door, and there was a familiar voice with a strange sound.
As soon as he turned his head, he found that Ramos was like an octopus, and suddenly jumped out and hugged him hard.
"Hi, Sergio." Yang Yang was surprised and excited.
He fought side by side with Ramos for nine years. How many nine years can he have in life?
Over the past nine years, the two have supported each other in tandem, and even the captain of Ramos has been supported by Yang Yang.
"Hi, Yang." Modric stood beside Ramos and raised his hand toward Yang Yang.
"Hello, Luca." Yang Yang released Ramos, turned his head, and hugged Modric.
"Long time no see, Navas!"
"Oh, tap, Tony, I can't breathe."
"God, Mbappe, you have become much redder than me recently."
"Hi, good buddy, I miss you, Louis."
"Marcelo, are you fat again?"
...
As the number one winner of European football last season, the main stars of Real Madrid's first team were invited to the scene, and the team even simply chartered them to Monaco.
Unfortunately, Yang Yang is no longer with them.
Now when we meet again, they already represent two different teams.
"Yang, what's the matter with you recently? Have you been injured?" Ramos asked with concern.
Former Real Madrid teammates around them also showed a caring look, obviously worrying about Yang Yang's situation.
Yang Yang was a little surprised and shook his head: "No, why?"
"Then why didn't you play?"
Yang Yang smiled, and pretended to ask easily: "Don't I always be a substitute when playing those teams?"
Everyone heard a smile, which was true when he was in Real Madrid.
The Galaxy battleship is high, the team of superstars gathered, and even the bench seats are the best geniuses in today's world football. In the face of teams such as Standard Liege and Dynamo Kiev, Real Madrid will not do its best.
"But that's in Ajax." Tony Cross reminded.
Yang Yang nodded, "You also saw that there are Ajax among the 32 teams drawn tonight."
Everyone was funny for a while, but they began to express the meaning of Yang Yang.
In fact, when he was at Real Madrid, Yang Yang was often like this, especially in the past two years, he was more than happy to accomplish others, because he is not only a player, but also an assistant coach.
It can almost be said that in the Real Madrid team, no one will hate Yang Yang, because everyone has received his help and gifts.
Real Madrid stars surround Yang Yang, and you make a joke with me. It feels as if Yang Yang hasn't left Real Madrid at all, which makes many people in the venue very surprised.
This scene was not suspended until the emergence of Real Madrid Chairman Florentino. The players knew that the Chairman would talk to Yang Yang, so they each returned to their own positions.
...
"I'm watching the news every day. Are you doing well in the Netherlands, are you still used to it?" Florentino is as kind as if he is an elder who cares about leaving the country. Yang Yang couldn't help but feel very warm, especially moved. .
"Thank you, Florentino, I'm fine!" Yang Yang replied.
President Real Madrid smiled and nodded again and again, "That's good, that's good, if you need help, you must tell me."
"Okay, thank you, Florentino." Yang Yang immediately changed the subject and talked about Real Madrid this season.
After both Yang Yang and Zidane left, Real Madrid invited the Spanish national team coach Lopetegui to coach, which led to Lopetegui failed to lead Spain to participate in the Russian World Cup, but his Real Madrid journey started very well.
The first round defeated Getafe 2-0, the second round defeated Girona 4-1, and the third round was just the past round. It defeated Leganes 4-1. It can be seen that Real Madrid kicked off. Very smooth.
"The start of a three-game winning streak is a good thing. I believe everything will be good." Yang Yang laughed.
He is also really happy for Real Madrid. After all, he has a very deep feeling for this team and this group of people.
"Come on slowly," Florentino sighed. "All of us still miss you very, very much. We have time to come back and see the players and the fans of Bernabeu."
Yang Yang nodded incessantly, he also wanted to go back and see.
After all, he has never formally separated from the Bernabeu fans.
...
"You did well in Dutch Armor."
After sending Florentino away, Yang Yang ushered in Zidane and Ferguson.
Monaco is close to France, Zidane is almost half of the host, there was no time before, and now I am at home, it is naturally to be invited to attend. As for Ferguson, he now holds some positions in UEFA, this occasion is more Will not be absent.
"I watched the last few of your games. The more you play, the better you can basically see what you want." Zidane laughed. He is still very familiar with Yang Yang and naturally knows Yang Yang. What do I want to get.
Yang Yang shrugged helplessly, "too young, and the ability to seize the opportunity is too poor. That was a zero-to-zero draw with Dynamo Kiev. It was very morale. He scored 39 feet and missed a goal ..."
In the end, Yang Yang couldn't help shaking his head.
"This situation is quite normal. As long as you have enough experience, you will know that even strange things can happen on the football field." Ferguson is not uncommon at all. "It seems to be a accidental phenomenon. There must be a lot of necessity behind it, and as the head coach, you should find out the necessary factors and correct them. "
"Thank you Sir." Yang Yang thanked with a smile.
Ferguson waved his hands carelessly, he was just discussing with Yang Yang, "I watched that game, Ajax really played well, but I always felt that there were shortcomings. Later, I thought about it, I think it is you Say, young, everyone in the team is young, it is easy to become impetuous. "
"A lot of times, half-step fast and half-step slow, are two very different worlds on the football field, this is what we call rhythm, and I think Ajax is still very young in controlling rhythm, Fran Ki De Jong has great potential, but he is still too young. "
"Yes, precipitation and accumulation, this is not in a hurry." Yang Yang said helplessly.
"Come on slowly." Ferguson encouraged with a smile. "You have done a pretty good job. At least this season Ajax made a breakthrough and really made it to the Champions League group stage. I heard that you planned to use it for three years. I do n’t think it ’s necessary to enter the knockout. "
"Oh?"
"In my opinion, if Ajax had a lot of luck this year and would have the second chance to compete for the group, even if he can't compete this year and accumulate some experience, the players will get exercise, and next year they will definitely have a great chance, but the premise is, don't be People dig corners. "
Yang Yang, Zidane and Ferguson could not help laughing.
Ferguson's vision is still very venomous, similar to Yang Yang's own judgment, but the difference is that Yang Yang feels that this team still has a lot of room for improvement.
Especially in September, when others played in the national team for two weeks, Ajax had few internationals.
How to make good use of this period of time for training, secret training of players, this is also the focus of Yang Yang's next work.
