Chapter 351 Captain China

Since the game was scheduled for [-]:[-] in the evening, Yang Yang still had extra practice on the morning of the game.

Let him leave the hotel and do morning exercises on his own, which is also a privilege granted to him by the coaching staff.

Everyone has become accustomed to this.

Yang Yang bounced the ball, started from the hotel, and ran west all the way to Lake Oderkerke.

After running three laps along the lake, he ran back to the hotel and entered the hotel gym.

By this time, Winston Bogard was already waiting for him in the gym.

The Kongwu powerful Dutch hunk smiled when he saw Yang Yang.

"Congratulations, Captain!"

Yang Yang was a little embarrassed, shook his head, and smiled wryly: "I'm not ready yet!"

"Get used to it, Captain." Winston Bogarde called again, and couldn't help laughing himself.

Last night's meeting went well.

After Ronald Koeman announced that the players will vote for the captain, everyone is guessing who will stand out from Yang Yang and Sneijder, and who will become the next captain of Ajax.

But at this time, Sneijder stood up suddenly. When everyone thought he was going to recommend him bravely, he suddenly chose Yang Yang, saying that he recommended Yang Yang to be the captain of the team and would do his best to cooperate and support him.

Sneijder's decision surprised everyone. No one thought that he would choose to support Yang Yang.

With the biggest competitors all declaring their defections, Yang Yang's election is no longer controversial.

Both Heitinga and De Jong made it clear that they would not accept whoever was elected, only Yang Yang.

Especially Heitinga, this is a thorn, and it is really not easy to subdue him.

With the local faction clearly expressing their stance, players such as Maxwell, Vermaelen, Maicon and Yaya Toure all recommended Yang Yang one after another. The final result turned out to be that Yang Yang passed unanimously without any suspense and became the new captain of Ajax.

After returning to the hotel room, Sneijder told Yang Yang that he never thought of fighting from the beginning.

Yang Yang also said that he also didn't want to fight.

"But all of us think you are the most suitable." Sneijder said sincerely.

In this way, the two resolved their differences, and Yang Yang was elected unanimously.

This is also the first non-European player in Ajax's history to be elected captain, the Chinese captain from Asia.

Looking back, Yang Yang still finds it a little funny.

He never thought that he could become the captain of Ajax, but it just happened.

Early in the morning, when he told the news to Su Ye who was far away in Beijing, the girl was so happy that she kept laughing when she called, and she was really happy for Yang Yang from the bottom of her heart.

"I really hope that I can be by your side and laugh with you happily." Su Ye said with concern.

It's not that Yang Yang didn't think about keeping her by his side. With his current ability, it's no problem to support her. He could even arrange for Su Ye to study in Europe, but he knew that he couldn't 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 went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes, and went to have breakfast with his teammates after going out.

Over the years, Ajax has continued strict discipline, including meals on the day of the game at a unified time, the purpose is to allow players to maintain the best physical condition during the game.

As the captain, it should have been Yang Yang's responsibility to organize meals for his teammates, but now he has entrusted Garasek with full authority.

The reason is simple, he is really a rookie in this respect.

Although I have experienced a lot in normal times, participation and leadership are two different things.

When the teammates saw his appearance, they all wanted to laugh. Obviously, they also felt that Yang Yang was a bit strange as the captain.

In fact, Yang Yang's popularity in the team is also very good, otherwise there would not be so many people supporting him as the captain.

This also made many people joke with him. Some blackmailed him that the new official should treat him, and some thought that he had not shown the majesty of the captain and should make himself more aggressive. They were all kind of teasing.

"Okay, okay, everyone stop making fun of him." Garasek stopped with a smile.

Due to last night's vote, a potential conflict was eliminated invisible, which is also the best choice for the team.

Furthermore, most people in the team felt that Yang Yang was the most suitable captain.

…………

…………

Ajax started from the hotel after lunch and lunch break, the team had a full rest and recharged their batteries.

After more than an hour's drive, the team arrived at Rosendal and went directly to the Hestak Stadium.

Rosendal is just a small town near the southern border of the Netherlands. The population is not large, and the capacity of the stadium is not large. It can only accommodate [-] fans. Every time they play against a domestic giant like Ajax, they can fill the stadium.

When Ajax entered the field for pre-match training, it even aroused the cheers of the fans at the scene.

This is the UEFA Cup champion!

Yang Yang is undoubtedly the most popular player in the Ajax team, and he has also become the player who is called the most by Rosendal fans.

Obviously, they have already taken it very seriously. After all, the strength of the team lies there. For them, enjoying the game is the most important thing.

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 gaze of all the players.

"For the first time, let me help you wear it." Luther Carroll laughed.

Yang Yang nodded, and raised his left arm.

This is a new type of captain's armband. In addition to the adhesive function, it also has an elastic band effect. After wearing it, it is tightly tied to the arm and will not fall off no matter how you shake it.

It was the first time for Yang Yang to wear the captain's armband, and he felt a little strange, after all, there was something extra on his left arm.

But under the watchful eyes of his teammates, he also gradually felt the weight of the captain's armband.

This is not only an honor for himself, but also a kind of trust from everyone in the team.

"I promise, I will never disappoint everyone's expectations!" Yang Yang said loudly.

The teammates in the locker room nodded one after another, and when they passed by Yang Yang one after another, they all took the initiative to shake hands and hug him.

This is his first game as team captain and Ajax's second league game of the season.

The opponent Rosendahl is not strong, but there are still tests.

…………

…………

Renardo Wedemeyer, 37 years old.

This season is his fourth season of law enforcement in the Eredivisie League, but he did not expect to encounter something that he would like to talk about, that is, Ajax has arranged for the youngest captain ever.

Yang Yang actually wears the captain's armband of Ajax, which is definitely a novelty.

In particular, when the players of the two teams walked out of the field one after another under his leadership, Yang Yang, as the captain, was at the forefront. This change quickly attracted the attention of the media and fans on the scene.

"Ajax seems to have changed a bit."

"We can see that after Heitinga's red card suspension, Vermaelen and Vlaar started together. This is not surprising, but in the order of appearance in this game, Yang Yang is at the forefront of the team."

"Ajax's captain's armband is also worn on Yang Yang."

"Obviously, when Heitinga was suspended for the red card, Ajax arranged for Yang Yang to be the captain of the team."

"This young player will become the youngest captain in the Eredivisie this season. I don't know if he can take on this burden, and we are all looking forward to Ajax's performance tonight."

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yang Yang came to the referee on the sidelines.

Rosendal's captain is their central defender Arjan Ebinger. The 31-year-old central defender was transferred from Nijmegen this summer. He was not qualified to be the captain.

The bald Dutch central defender was obviously surprised when he saw Yang Yang, but he still greeted Yang Yang with a smile.

The referee reiterated his requirements for the game, hoping that it will be 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.

Later, after exchanging team flags with Ebinger, Yang Yang shook hands with the referee team one after another before returning to his own half.

Throughout the whole process, Yang Yang followed suit, which was completely unfamiliar to him.

"Don't be under pressure, just like usual, just focus on the game and enjoy the game." Ronald Koeman comforted Yang Yang on the sidelines, for fear that Yang Yang would have some psychological pressure.

Luther Carroll also persuaded him, generally hoping that he could let go of his hands and feet.

Yang Yang understands this, and there will be no pressure. After all, beating Rosendahl is a sure thing. The only difference is how many goals he can score, and whether he can score goals.

But it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.

After all, this is his first time as the captain of the team, so there must be something left behind, right?

…………

…………

At the beginning of the game, Ajax aggressively pressed the attack.

The team's game strategy is exactly the same as when they played The Hague before, that is, regardless of 21 [-], just press up and start playing.

Relying on Charisteas' high center forward advantage and the team's overall midfield pressure, Rosendal was soon overwhelmed.

In the 12th minute of the game, after receiving a pass from Maicon on the right, Yang Yang suddenly threw off the defender, cut all the way to the front of the penalty area, and passed a cross to Sneijder.

This time, the Ajax midfielder stepped in and directly pushed the ball with his right foot, sending the ball into Rosendal's goal.

After scoring the goal, Sneijder was so excited that he hugged Yang Yang.

This is his two consecutive league rounds scoring, that feeling is great.

And Yang Yang was also very happy in his heart, celebrating with him, and he was also very happy to see Sneijder score a goal.

But at the same time, he is also eager to score goals.
