super storm

Chapter 35
Yang Yang didn't expect that he snatched the ball so easily, but he didn't have time to think about it. After grabbing the ball, he immediately rushed to the front court with the ball and launched a counterattack on the spot.

At the moment of stealing the ball, Volendam was surprised from top to bottom.

Paul Quisten was the first to react, and immediately rushed towards Yang Yang.

Yang Yang's speed had already risen, and Paul Quisten rushed a little too hard again. He didn't think much, and as soon as he approached, he immediately became a pendulum, pretending to break through from the outside, but in fact he forced a surprise attack from the inside.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, Paul Quisten, who was too aggressive, was directly passed by Yang Yang.

But the breakthrough of Paul Questen also bought valuable time for Volendam's defensive players. The two central defenders and the midfielder also quickly returned to the defense. Their strategy was also very clear, using the advantage of numbers to kill the Chinese kid.

They were fast, and the reaction of the Almere players was not slow, and Henk Dimer also came forward to respond immediately.

Yang Yang has been using [God's Vision] to keep an eye on the changes in the surrounding situation. He is well aware of Volendam's defense and the response of his teammates. After entering the 30-meter zone, he passes the ball to the center without thinking.

The ball went right in the middle of Volendam's two defensive lines and just right in the path of Henk Dimmel's advance.

This kick passed the ball so well that John Repp, Dick Van Poel and Van Gaal on the sidelines all secretly applauded.

The pass attracted the attention of Volendam's defensive players. After passing the ball, Yang Yang suddenly ran to the right outside.

But when Henk Dimmel caught up with the ball, the captain of Almere suddenly kicked the ball low and slanted to the right side of the penalty area. After Yang Yang got rid of the attention of the defenders, he suddenly accelerated and changed to the penalty area.

The sudden change caught Volendam's defenders by surprise. When central defender Afies readjusted his defensive position and wanted to block Yang Yang, Yang Yang had already received the ball and stepped into the penalty area with one foot.

This is trouble.

Yang Yang made a frontal attack. Afies kept retreating, and he didn't dare to foul in the penalty area. He was in a very passive position. After Yang Yang entered the penalty area, he took advantage of the situation and made another pendulum.

After pulling away from the right side, Yang Yang did not forget to raise his head and glance at the goalkeeper who was attacking halfway, and shot directly with his right foot.

The goalkeeper instinctively stretched out his left hand to block the ball, but he missed it, and when he looked back, the ball had already fallen into the goal behind him.

After seeing the ball into the net, Yang Yang jumped up.

The reason why he hit the goal directly without hesitation just now was not because he was sure of his shot, but because the goalkeeper had exposed too much space in the middle of the attack, and he didn't need much advanced shooting skills.

Sure enough, the ball really went in!

Excited, he turned around quickly, and when he was about to rush up to celebrate, he didn't expect that there was a figure in front of him, and then a huge impact came, and he was thrown to the ground involuntarily.

It turned out to be Henk Dimmel who rushed over.

Yang Yang didn't do the same thing, he was a little tired again, so he spread his hands out, and lay down on the grass like this, letting his teammates press on him one by one, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The game is almost over, scoring a goal at this time is self-evident.

After seeing Yang Yang's goal, the fans around the stadium couldn't help admiring.

Almere was very tenacious in this game, but the most impressive player was the No. [-] player.

Not to mention running at all costs throughout the game, two key goals in the second half came from his feet, and the second key reversal goal was caused by his return to defense and steals.

It can be said that he alone completely rewrote the game.

Faced with such a performance, how could they not appreciate such a young man?
John Repp and Dick Fempl were also excited.

In their opinion, the most ideal result of this game is that Almere scored a goal to save face, but they did not expect Yang Yang to score two goals in a row in the second half, which surprised them too much.

If the first goal was still within their expectations, then the second goal was simply a surprise.

If it wasn't for Yang Yang to run actively and return to his own 30-meter zone to participate in defense, how could he have a chance?
"This kid is amazing!" Dick Van Poel couldn't help laughing, "He is always so unexpected and always brings surprises to people. I can't believe it now, but this is Yang Yang."

John Rip couldn't help nodding, too, and why didn't he?

More than two months ago, the scene where he politely persuaded Yang Yang to quit in private seemed like yesterday, but now, Yang Yang has become the leader of the team, and his performance is so surprising, it is simply unbelievable.

Sometimes John Rip couldn't help but wonder, what happened to him in just over two months?
All of this he naturally attributed to Yang Yang having figured it out, enlightened, and at the same time working harder than usual.

Henk Dimmel once said that Yang Yang went to the skate park to train by himself on weekdays. He was so diligent that even Henk Dimmel sighed and admired him.

Perhaps, this is the result of Yang Yang's hard work and progress.

If John Repp and Dick Van Poel are just guessing, then Van Gaal is [-]% sure that Yang Yang has gained from the extremely boring hell-style training at this time.

The Dutch marshal now has to admit that he still underestimated Yang Yang's progress.

The basic skills are indeed relatively poor, but the speed of improvement is too fast.

It’s only been two months since I saw him. He has improved to this level, which is comparable to those players who have received years of professional training at Ajax. If he is given a little more time, maybe he can create more surprises.

Looking at Yang Yang, Van Gaal seemed to see Kluivert and others when he was coaching the Ajax youth team.

…………

The game was finally over.

Although Volendam, who was playing at home, bombarded Almere indiscriminately in the last few minutes, he was seriously exhausted on the one hand, and on the other hand, the players' fighting spirit was lost. In the end, he still failed to score a goal from Almere.

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, everyone in Almere celebrated wildly.

All the players gathered around Yang Yang to celebrate, and then went to John Repp on the sidelines.

If John Repp hadn't adjusted the team's defensive posture in the second half during the intermission, Almere would not have had a reversal in the second half. It was only at this moment that everyone really felt the importance of the head coach.

After winning the game, John Repp was also grinning from ear to ear, and he kept praising the players, almost pointing to all the participating players. Obviously, he was extremely excited in his heart.

This is the fifth knockout round, and they are facing the newly promoted Eredivisie Volendam. Although it is only a youth team game, there are many players in the Volendam team who are about to participate in the Eredivisie league. The overall strength should not be underestimated.

Being able to defeat such an opponent is enough to make everyone in Almere proud.

But John Rep didn't particularly praise Yang Yang, he just patted Yang Yang on the shoulder lightly and said with a smile, "Keep working hard, you will make all of us proud of you."

This simple sentence made Yang Yang more happy than any compliment.

He knew that his hard work over the past two months had paid off, and he had also been affirmed by the head coach.

While talking with John Repp, Yang Yang saw Van Gaal not far away from the crowd.

The famous Dutch coach made a little disguise and wore a golf cap, which happened to be the one he often wore when watching Yang Yang's special training, so Yang Yang was particularly impressed, and with Truss Opalmel beside him, Yang Yang could tell at a glance.

"Hey." Yang Yang waved from a distance.

Van Gaal also nodded and smiled at him, beckoning.

Yang Yang immediately ran over with a smile, "Long time no see...Mr. Van Gaal."

Suddenly, he didn't know what to call him.

This is a famous coach in the world, he is just a fledgling kid, how should he be called?
In the end, he chose to be more formal, calling him Mr. van Gaal.

Truth Opalmer, who was on the side, saw Yang Yang's restraint, and said with a smile: "You should call him Louis, he likes his friends to call him that."

"Oh, yes, Louis." Yang Yang nodded.

It is an honor for him to be a friend of Van Gaal.

"Have you been training in the park recently?" Van Gaal asked with concern.

"Well, every day."

"Looks like you've been working on your left foot too," laughed Van Gaal.

"How do you know?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.

When they met for the last time, Van Gaal mentioned that he wanted to train his left foot, so after discussing with Lao Bing, he also added some training items for the left foot to his usual training. Unexpectedly, Van Gaal even knew about this.

"You scored the first goal just now with your left foot." Van Gaal said with a chuckle. I don't know if it's because Yang Yang accepted his suggestion, or because he saw Yang Yang's training results. Anyway, he seems to be in a good mood.

"My left foot is still not as flexible as my right foot. Just now I didn't have time to think about it, so I almost adjusted it back to my right foot." Yang Yang was a little ashamed. After all, he was right-footed, and his left foot could only assist.

Of course, his left-footed dribbling is also part of his basic training.

"It's normal, take your time, balance on both feet will make you more threatening." Van Gaal laughed.

Yang Yang understands that proficiency with two feet is not only more threatening than one foot, but also more comprehensive on the court.

"Okay, let's not stop you from celebrating with your teammates." Van Gaal nodded with a smile.

He saw John Rip in the distance, but the two didn't have a deep friendship, so they just waved their hands as a greeting.

"We should see each other again soon."

After leaving such a sentence that made Yang Yang puzzled, Van Gaal took Opalmel away.

Yang Yang didn't have time to think about it, and was quickly called over by his teammates.
