Chapter 136 Gold Medal Substitute [The second update of the guarantee, please subscribe to the monthly pass! 】

On March [-], for England fans, it was destined to be difficult to calm down.

On the evening of the [-]th, the Red Devils, who have always been the pioneers of the Premier League in Europe, drew [-]-[-] with Porto in the Portuguese Super League at home.

This Portuguese super team led by the young coach Jose Mourinho reversed Manchester United [-]-[-] in the first leg. The Red Devils even paid the price of Captain Keane's red card, but after returning to Old Trafford, Manchester United's performance still did not improve.

In the face of Porto's solid defense, Scholes opened the scoring for Manchester United not long after the opening, but in the final stoppage time of the game, Porto tenaciously equalized the score, and finally left Old Trafford with a score of [-]-[-], and eliminated the Red Devils Manchester United with a total score of [-]-[-].

The pain of the Red Devils' exit has not yet healed, and the bad news came again.

On the evening of the 807th, at Highbury Stadium in London, Ajax conceded a goal first. In the No.[-] minute, Ibrahimovic assisted Van der Vaart to equalize the score, and finally ended with a score of [-]-[-].

The final total score was four to three, and Ajax upset Arsenal.

For two consecutive days, the two major Premier League giants were eliminated, which shocked the entire English football world.

Regardless of whether it is Ajax or Porto, the overall strength is lower than Arsenal and Manchester United, but these two teams from the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League won the game by virtue of their home advantage and worked hard to keep the tie away.

Overnight, the entire British media and fans were blown away.

Countless TV programs have been reflecting on the disastrous defeat of the two giants, the introduction of the winter break in the Premier League has been put on the agenda again, and the cancellation of the League Cup to relieve the pressure on the team has once again made noise, but these are old-fashioned arguments.

Two young marshals, Ronald Koeman and Jose Mourinho, have entered the attention of mainstream European media. They were able to lead Ajax and Porto to the quarter-finals, especially Ronald Koeman. This is his two consecutive seasons. Enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and his coaching ability is evident.

Compared with the mourning of the British media and fans, the Netherlands is full of joy.

In this season's UEFA Champions League, Eredivisie teams generally performed sluggishly. Only one team, Ajax, advanced to the knockout round. Now it has eliminated the giants Arsenal and advanced to the quarterfinals. This has greatly appreciated the Dutch domestic media and fans.

What is even more exciting is that Ibrahimovic assisted Van der Vaart's goal, and the handshake between the two on the field was expected by countless Ajax fans. Everyone believed that the combination of the two would make Ajax stronger and more competitive.

Under the brilliance of Ibrahimovic and van der Vaart, the two leading stars, the performance of No. 99 young player Yang Yang has also attracted a lot of attention. The team's equalizer goal was an attack planned and launched by him and Trabelsi on the right.

A gold medal substitute, this is the certification of Yang Yang by Ajax fans.

I don't know when it started, everyone realized that Yang Yang changed the situation on the court almost every time he played, and he would bring unexpected surprises to the fans and the team in every game.

Everyone wants to know how much potential he still has to tap?
Head coach Ronald Koeman told Telegraph after the game that he didn't know either.

"He is always surprising, and the speed of improvement is always surprising. No one knows how far he can develop, but I personally believe that he is constantly creating surprises for us, and is gradually becoming an increasingly important and crucial member of the team."

In the first round, Yang Yang directed three goals and defeated Arsenal at home, and in the second round he planned the equalizer goal after coming off the bench, plus the last game against Club Brugge in the group stage...

Who can question Ronald Koeman's words?

However, although Ajax eliminated Arsenal and entered the quarterfinals, the outside world is still not optimistic about the prospects of this team.

In addition to Ajax and Porto, the remaining six teams to enter the quarterfinals are Chelsea in the Premier League, AC Milan in Serie A, Real Madrid and Deportivo in La Liga, and Monaco and Lyon in Ligue [-].

Except for Bayern Munich and Stuttgart in the Bundesliga who stopped at the top [-], six of the seven mainstream leagues in Europe have teams entering the top eight. Since the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League, it can be described as an extremely rare scene.

Since this year is also the restructuring year of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA changed the UEFA Champions League from the original two-round group stage to a single-round group stage and then directly entered the top [-] knockout rounds.

But in any case, the teams that can enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League are all competitive teams.

Ajax, who has been out of the ranks of the top European teams for many years, no matter who they meet next, it will be a hard fight.

When the entire Dutch media was hyping about Ajax's surprise entry into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, hyping about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and van der Vaart's reconciliation, and Yang Yang's gold medal substitute, Yang Yang ended a night of special training in the super training ground.

He completed the replay of the game on the plane returning to Amsterdam from London, and started training when he returned home, mainly basic training, [Ronaldo's assault], [Beckham's cross], and daily training on his left foot. His special training was not over until after dawn.

Sitting on the soft, never-breakable turf of the super training ground, Yang Yang stared blankly at the opposite goal.

"What are you thinking?" Lao Bing's faint voice sounded beside his ears.

Yang Yang was still looking ahead, but there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Thinking of those years in Almere."

For some reason, whenever he was so tired that he wanted to give up, he couldn't help but think of that period of time, when he was in the youth team, he was teased like a monkey every day, ridiculed by the surrounding fans, and he thought about giving up countless times, but he finally gritted his teeth and persisted.

From then on, whenever he couldn't help but want to give up, whenever he was on the verge of collapse, he would keep asking himself, after all the painful experience, what else can't hold on?
After hearing Yang Yang's answer, Lao Bing didn't speak anymore.

The entire super training ground was empty, without a single sound, so quiet that one could hear one's own heartbeat.

After a long time, Lao Bing's voice slowly rang in Yang Yang's ear again.

"You know, according to scientific research, human potential is unlimited."

"What do you mean?"

"Some research institutes have shown that human behavior is controlled by the brain, and the brain is driven by the willpower of the person. That is to say, as long as a person's willpower is strong enough, he can push the brain, direct the body, and constantly surpass his own limits."

"Wouldn't that be Superman?" Yang Yang asked with a smile.

He thinks this is impossible, just like a person in a game, he may continue to get up and run after cramping, but there will always be a moment when he collapses and falls down.

"You misunderstood me. I don't mean in a race, or in a short period of time, but in a long period of time. It's like the Pele era. At that time, a professional runner who ran seven or eight kilometers was considered an iron man. For people at that time, it was unimaginable to run ten kilometers in a race."

"But now, running [-] kilometers in a single game often occurs, but in the [-] World Cup qualifiers, when England played against Greece, Beckham ran [-] kilometers in one game, setting a world record. He surpassed the limit of this era."

"Perhaps ten years from now, running [-] kilometers in a single game will become the norm. At that time, more and more people will emerge who can run [-] or [-] kilometers in a game. There may even be someone who can break Beckham's record."

"Do you understand what I mean? In every era, there will always be some people with extremely strong willpower, pushing their brains, directing their bodies, constantly surpassing the limit, and making things that everyone thought impossible become possible."

Yang Yang understood what Lao Bing meant, and he himself was deeply touched.

Just like in the game against Arsenal last night, he kept running, kept looking for opportunities, failed again and again, and got up again and again. If he didn't push himself with willpower and force himself to continue working hard, how could there be a final reversal?
"Thank you, Lao Bing." Yang Yang stood up from the grass.

In fact, he never felt tired physically, only mentally.

But now, he is not tired anymore.

"You don't need to thank me, even here, you still have to rely on yourself."

Yang Yang smiled and nodded.

The Dutch morning in March is still very cold.

Yang Yang wore warm sportswear, opened the door, and did a whole set of warm-ups at the door of the house. After warming up his body, he saw that the door of the opposite house was also opened.

The tall and burly Ibrahimovic was waving at him with a grin, and then ran over quickly.

"It must be boring for you to train alone, I will accompany you."

As he said that, he had snatched the ball from Yang Yang's feet, and quickly ran forward with the ball.

Yang Yang froze in place, wondering if he hadn't woken up yet?

This guy will run out early in the morning for morning exercises?
This is not his style at all.

But looking forward again, the guy was waving at him in the distance, signaling him to come up quickly.

"My God, is the sun going to come out from the west today?" Yang Yang looked at the sun that hadn't appeared yet, feeling a little suspicious.

"Hey, the ball has passed!"

Zlatan Ibrahimovic woke up Yang Yang. He raised his head just in time to see the ball flying towards him. Immediately, he instinctively puffed up his chest, pushed his head forward, and quickly chased after him.

"Come on! You bastard, you are so hard, killing people?"

"Aren't I afraid that you haven't woken up yet?"

"Even if I really didn't wake up, I was scared to wake up when I saw you!"

"Haha, are you surprised?"

"Surprise? Thriller is right."

"Hey, have you ever treated a buddy who kindly helped you like this?"

"Then don't I still owe you favors?"

"That's how you know?"

"You can be more shameless."

"No way, you said it, I don't want this face!"
