Vol 3 Chapter 400: Go beyond Van Basten

On the morning of March 20, on the shore of Lake Odekerke.
Yang Yang and Maxwell and other teammates ran up the ball, talking and laughing along the way.
This has become a unique landscape along the lake of Oudekerk.
Occasionally, it will attract the fans of nearby residents to chase, and sometimes someone will run beside them.
But no one will affect them.
At this point, the consciousness of Dutch fans is still very high.
After three laps around the lake, Yang Yang met an old acquaintance when he returned to the intersection of the town.
A reporter for the Dutch Telegraph, Michelle Vandersma.
Yang Yang still remembers that when he first saw Vandersmar three years ago, Vandersmar was still starting a business and guarding his own small website to collect news. But now, the Dutch website is closed, but he has Became a well-known reporter of the Dutch Telegraph.
Every time he saw him, Yang Yang would smile and call him, "Hello, big reporter."
"Oh, please." Van der Sema smiled with his glasses every time, "You don't dare to appear in front of you again, you know?"
Although he didn't say it himself, he knew what he had. He was able to enter the Dutch Telegraph in the first place because of Yang Yang's news.
Later, he was able to gradually make a name in the Telegraph, often because he had a good relationship with Yang Yang. He was able to get some private interviews and learn some insider information.
This gives him an advantage over other media reporters.
He still remembers that Yang Yang once used Chinese words to say that the two of them are acquainted with each other and are different from others.
"Ha, that's right, I don't want to see you recently." Yang Yang laughed.
With that said, he bent down and took off the sandbags wrapped around his legs and waist.
This is the sandbag that Winston Bogardet prepared for him. He originally had only legs, and later he even wrapped his waist, so that he usually used it for extra training.
He handed over the unwrapped sandbags to Fairmaren. Yang Yang said goodbye to his teammates, "I'll buy breakfast."
All the way to the breakfast shop on the corner, Vandersma also immediately followed.
"Hey, just a few words."
Yang Yang shook his head, "I know what you want to ask."
"I haven't asked yet." Vandersma said sadly.
Yang Yang pouted, "As soon as you appear, I guess."
Vandersma shrugged. This is a smart guy who can't hide anything from him.
...
Yesterday afternoon, Ajax ushered in the 29th round of the Dutch League and challenged Groningen away.
Groningen ’s Europa Arena is a prison for strong teams this season. Eindhoven, Feyenoord and Alkmaar are all here. If Groningen ’s away record is too bad, this team The ranking can be improved a bit.
But Ajax is clearly not another team.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Groningen took the lead with a penalty kick.
But after only four minutes, Yang Yang pulled back a game for Ajax and equalized the score.
After that, Groningen continued to die tenaciously.
After the two sides changed sides in the second half and then fought, Ajax's back line made a mistake just after the start and was once again led by his opponent.
This time until the 68th minute, Yang Yang again equalized the score.
After that, the two sides never scored again.
...
For this game, the Dutch media generally gave Ajax a low rating.
The main crux lies in the defense.
This is the sorrow of the small team.
The average age is only 22 years old, too young, which is better on the offensive end. Young players such as Yang Yang and Sneijder are known for their stable performance, but there are more problems on the defensive end.
Fairmaren was only twenty years old, Vlar was twenty-one years old, Heitinga was the oldest, twenty-two years old.
If Ajax's three central defenders are placed in the top four leagues, they can only be regarded as rookies, but in Ajax they are already the back defender alone.
In addition, Ajax has always attached great importance to the play of the central defender, which inevitably leads to weaknesses in the team's high defense and insufficient physical confrontation among players.
Attacking strong and defending weak has always been the crux of Ajax.
It's just that the offense has been too sharp this season and the defense has become more obvious.
Of course, Ajax is not when there is no improvement in defense. For example, in the second half of last season, the team's defense is good, but the offensive performance is not good, and can only be dragged by Yang Yang. This is obviously not Appropriate, and fans are not satisfied.
In the Netherlands, professional football is a show that pleases fans.
Winning or losing is not very important, but it must be beautiful.
Therefore, offensive football is the most respected play in the Netherlands.
Contrary to Ajax's defense, Yang Yang received unanimous praise from the media after the game.
This game was scored twice, he scored 37 goals in the Netherlands this season, catching up with Ajax's famous fan Van Basten, and tied for Ajax's history. The player with the second most goals this season.
But with five rounds left in the league, everyone is looking forward to seeing Yang Yang continue to score goals.
This is why Vandersma came to him early in the morning today.
...
"I told you many times, Van Basten is a legend, an irreplaceable legend."
"I know."
"He scored 37 goals in the Dutch League during his heyday."
"It's hard to say, both of you scored 37 goals in the 26th round, but you are two years younger than him."
"How can I understand what I want to say?"
"You don't need to say that I understand that he is your idol."
At the door of the breakfast shop, Yang Yang looked at Vandersma without a word, and nodded, "Just know it."
"I just want to know, what do you think now?"
"what idea?"
"Goal, you are five goals away from Groot, six goals away from Dylan, and there are five rounds left in the league ..."
When Van der Sma was here, his eyes were full of anticipation, just waiting for Yang Yang to say a few exciting words, then he could make the difference.
Thirty-seven goals are definitely shocking goals.
No one has reached this height in the Dutch League for many years.
"I tell you, this is not only what we all expect of you, but also Van Basten." Van der Sema persuaded.
Yang Yang couldn't help thinking of the call Van Basten made to himself.
On the phone, Van Basten told Yang Yang his experience of that season.
The Ajax offensive that season was really strong, even stronger than this season. Van Basten scored 34 goals in the previous 22 rounds of the league, which is even better than Yang Yang. .
Among them, he only had two hat tricks, but scored twice but scored five times. What's more terrible is that he also scored five goals in one game and six goals in one game.
But just after the 22nd round, he was injured and missed six games. After the comeback, he scored three goals, but the state could not be recovered. The last two rounds were injured and missed.
It can be said that Van Basten of that season was extremely close to the historical legend, but because of injuries, he eventually failed to go further.
Even so, he is still the legendary name of Ajax, but this is still a big regret in his career.
His regret is not because he didn't work hard, but because he could have done better and achieved better results, but he was missed because of injuries.
In his phone call to Yang Yang, Van Basten told him that he hopes Yang Yang can continue to give encouragement and do not leave regrets!
"I believe that you can surpass me!"
Of course Yang Yang wouldn't talk about Van Basten's communication with himself, although his relationship with Van der Sema is also good.
The two walked into the breakfast shop, the breakfast shop owner had already prepared it, as usual.
The Dutch reporter took out his wallet to pay, but was blocked by the owner of the breakfast shop.
"No, no, he will come to our restaurant to eat without money later." The owner of the breakfast shop said with a smile.
Vandersma was stunned. Do you want money for dinner? Is there such a good thing?
"But seriously, Yang, you must continue to inspire, I have cut all the newspapers this morning."
With that said, the owner of the breakfast shop slammed his thick newspaper clipping.
"It's already a big book. Someone asked me to buy it yesterday. You said, can I sell it?"
Yang Yang laughed, "That must be the other party's price?"
"Nonsense, I changed my mind. I will leave it to my son to let them know that I chased you all the way and watched you score. I also saved the tickets for this season and kept it for commemorate."
The owner of the breakfast shop mentioned here, a very snobbish look, as if to say that collectibles are of course more valuable than commodities.
"So, you have to work harder and try to score more goals. From now on, I will be responsible for your breakfast."
"How do you do that? Open the door to do business, aren't you so bad?" Yang Yang asked with a smile.
"So, you have to score more goals, you have to score more goals, it is better to break the historical record, then I am a baby, those people want to write your biography or something, these are the best materials for me , That's much more valuable? "
Seeing the smile of the breakfast shop owner's eyes narrowed in a straight line, Vandersma wanted to smash his beautiful fantasies and told him that the newspapers are all archived and that it is the Internet age.
However, he did not have the heart to do such a thing in the end.
"Okay, then thank you." Yang Yang was not too wordy, carrying breakfast, and left with a farewell.
For many people like the owner of a breakfast shop, football is an entertainment and a sustenance, and at the same time it is also a kind of faith, they believe from small to large.
And Yang Yang is like the embodiment of their faith, carrying their expectations and fighting for them on the green field.
There are too many such people in the Netherlands and in Amsterdam.
When walking out of the breakfast shop, Yang Yang looked up and looked at the blue sky, very relaxed and happy.
"Think, I must think, if I don't want to, it must be deceiving," Yang Yang said suddenly.
Vandersma knew that this was for him.
"But I know that if I can't solve the problem, all I need is down to earth, step by step, kicking one by one."
"Five games and seven goals, as well as the Champions League and the Dutch Cup, this is also a big challenge for me."
Yang Yang said very lightly, but it gave a very firm feeling.
He just doesn't like to talk more.
