Super Storm

Alkmaar training base, head coach's office.

Van Gaal and the three coaching staff members are sitting on the sofa, watching the TV on the opposite wall intently.

The TV is playing the 23rd round of the Dutch League that ended last night. Ajax challenged Roda Jc away.

This weekend, Van Gaal will take his Alkmaar to the Amsterdam Arena to challenge Ajax away. This will also be his first time returning to Amsterdam after he resigns as Ajax technical director.

Van Gaal attaches great importance to this game.

Roda JC's strength is not strong. In the first thirty minutes, he barely kept it. However, in the thirty-third minute, Yang Yang made a killer on the right and passed the assist to Charlie Steas to score a header.

Just eight minutes later, after Sneijder straight behind, Yang Yang easily counter-offside and formed a one-shot goal, two to zero.

It was not until the 84th minute that Roda Jc scored a goal with Cristiano.

In the end, Ajax beat Roda JC two to one away.

Yang Yang's one pass and one shot boosted his number of goals this season to eighteen.

Because Eindhoven, Alkmaar and Feyenoord have all won, the top four rankings in the league remain unchanged.

Kuyt scored another goal this round, successfully pushing his total goals to 22.

But now, the video studied by Alkmaar's coaching staff is different from the regular game video. This game video carefully edited by club video analyst Max Rex is more conducive to analyzing Ajax's Technical and tactical characteristics.

Among them, Van Gaal attaches the most importance to Ajax's right-winger Yang Yang.

"The winter break of this season should be regarded as a watershed. Previously, Ronald Coleman mainly used Sneijder and Pinal to build the midfielder. The frontcourt was Wesley Songk and Charles Steas. And Yang Yang. "

"But after the winter break, Ronald Coman changed his tactics, Pinal was pushed to the left, and Garasek and De Jong formed a double back. This is also the current Ajak The most commonly used midfielder formation in Sri Lanka, after the change, Yang Yang has become the most threatening attack point for Ajax. "

Twenty-three rounds, eighteen goals, twelve assists, and thirty goals were directed. Yang Yang ’s performance this season can be described by explosive growth, not to mention the outside media and fans, even Van Gaal himself I feel incredible.

Van Gaal also clearly remembers that when he left Ajax, Yang Yang was a serious partial student. He was very sharp in breakthroughs and crosses, but he was weak in other aspects, but in just over half a year, he made rapid progress, especially stopping ball.

Now he is no longer the same as half a year ago.

In addition to stopping the ball, Yang Yang's physical confrontation has also made obvious progress. From his original thin body, he has become stronger and can be seen at a glance. This is definitely the result of long-term strength training.

Also recently, Yang Yang's shooting has also become more threatening. According to the news received by Van Gaal, he has insisted on three months of shooting training.

The rapid progress of the three major items of stopping the ball, power confrontation and shooting has made Yang Yang's performance this season.

At the beginning of the season, there are still many people looking forward to, Yang Yang can grow into the most threatening winger after the Robben this season, but now, no one will compare Yang Yang to Robben.

The reason is very simple. Yang Yang's scoring ability has already surpassed Robben, he is more comprehensive than Robben.

How to limit Yang Yang has become a problem that all teams must face when facing Ajax.

Van Gaal is no different.

…………

…………

The more people in the coaching room analyze, the more surprised they are.

Yang Yang is only 18 years old, but the strength he can show on the court is to let everyone reach adulthood, and even famous stars are beyond the reach. Especially in the most recent year, it is more like a sudden burst of amazing energy.

"This is not a sudden outbreak." Van Gaal shook his head and denied the assistant's judgment. "This is a lot of accumulation."

"Thick and thin?"

Van Gaal nodded, "You will think he broke out suddenly, it is because you don't know him at all, if you have personally learned about his high demands for himself in recent years and the intensity of training, you will not be surprised by him Progress made. "

The coaching staff all looked at each other.

They are indeed unfamiliar with Yang Yang, but very familiar with Van Gaal.

The Dutch coach has always been proud and arrogant. Even when he was in Barcelona, ​​he did not give him a good face when facing Rivaldo. Many people even said that he was above his eyes, so he can be taken by him. Of players are few and far between.

And like Yang Yang, it can be so admired by him that it is rare.

"I know this kid very well. He has strong running ability and excellent physical fitness. Now his physical strength is up. One-on-one defense is useless to him, but it will affect our defensive position."

Van Gaal rejected a lot of team choices, that is to arrange for someone to defend Yang Yang.

But facts have proved that no one can hold Yang Yang one-on-one.

"Our ability to pass and control the ball is definitely not as good as Ajax, and the overall strength is not as good as Ajax, so we can only defend counterattacks." Game analyst Marcel Bott analyzed.

"I think we should still stick to the original defense system, properly shrink and strengthen the middle, especially the defense of the frontier zone and ribs of the restricted area. This is Yangyang's most threatening area."

Van Gaal's tactical system is very rigorous and meticulous.

Alkmaar ’s players are not strong, and their ball control ability does not meet the requirements of Van Gaal. They cannot play the kind of dominant football that Van Gaal wants, so they can only get rid of the ball control and add more Running without the ball.

This is also very consistent with the characteristics of Alkmaar since this time, the style of this team has always been known for diligence and overall.

If the former Adrian is too aggressive, Van Gaal's arrival is injecting reason into this team.

This is why Alkmaar's results soared this season.

But in the strong dialogue, this team is still very problematic, for example, before losing to Eindhoven one to five.

But that was already in the second round of the beginning of the season. After more than half of the season, Van Gaal believed that the team still had the power to challenge Ajax on the road.

However, we must first resolve Yang Yang's confidant.

"Yang Yang is a very smart, very thinking, and very flexible player. We must pay more attention to him. While maintaining the stability of the overall defensive formation, we must pay as much attention to his defense as possible. The following week, We need to arrange a specific training, we want to completely freeze him at the Amsterdam Arena! "

Van Gaal spoke loudly, and his tone and expression did not seem to be a joke at all. Later, he even restricted how Yang Yang should be restrained, how to arrange tight defense, and the explanation was clear and detailed. This made the assistants all around. strange.

This Yang Yang is not Van Gaal's year-end friend?

How does it feel to touch Ajax and Yang Yang, but Van Gaal is more ruthless than anyone else?

"Why? Have a question?" Van Gaal asked frowning when he noticed the assistant's expression.

"Louis, you and Yang Yang ..." Marcel Bott tentatively asked.

What a wise man Van Gaal is, he observes and observes, and immediately understands the meaning of his assistants.

"Yes, I do have a friendship with Yang Yang, but I have to put some pressure on him for public and private."

Seeing everyone confusing, Van Gaal smiled.

"He's been so smooth this season, I should give him a shot at the baton, and by the way let him feel the pressure, the growth of people under pressure is the fastest."

The assistants looked at each other helplessly again, but they felt that this should be more like Van Gaal's quirk.

After sending away his assistant, Van Gaal took out his mobile phone with a smile, found Yang Yang's phone, and called.

He guessed that Yang Yang should have finished the training at this time and would go home.

This kid's daily life routine is almost monotonous.

Sure enough, the phone was connected as soon as it was called.

"Boy, eighteen goals, congratulations."

"Huh, Louis, you are starting to become hypocritical. It's not like you." Yang Yang directly dismantled Van Gaal's "false mask".

Van Gaal also laughed straight, he only laughed out loud in front of a very small number of friends, Yang Yang counted one.

"I want to tell you that I just prepared a gift for you at the weekend at the Amsterdam Arena."

"Really?" Yang Yang also smiled. "So polite? Wouldn't it be to send me a few goals and let me catch up with Kuyt?"

"Yes, can you take it away?" Van Gaal asked provocatively.

Yang Yang smiled again, "Do you know? I have asked Laiola to help me prepare gifts."

"Gift? Give it to me?"

"You die beautiful!" Yang Yang laughed and scolded, "I said before, if there are more than twenty goals, I will give Detok Most coaches, staff and all players of the first team, one for each A gift. "

Van Gaal froze, generous, "You are so willing?"

"There is nothing to lose. Although I scored the ball, it is also a credit to all the team. Before the Toyota Cup got the best player, didn't it get a car? I discounted it, plus the contract. The goal bonus is enough to prepare a handy gift, and I plan to give it on the weekend. "

Van Gaal heard this as if he understood it, this kid is fighting back.

He is now scoring eighteen goals. He said it was only twenty goals to give gifts, and it was still on the weekend. That is to say, Yang Yang intends to score twice in this weekend's game?

"Okay, okay, okay, ambitious, I'm waiting, I hope you don't let me down."

"Relax, Louis, didn't you say that? I never let you down."

Van Gaarden said a stop.

He said this when he was the technical director of Ajax. Is it completely different from his current identity?

But how does it sound that you feel like you are setting yourself up?

"OK, let's see you this weekend!"

"Okay, see you this weekend!"

…………

…………

In the middle of the week, the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup.

Ajax played in a semi-main half-replacement lineup, defeating The Hague two to zero on the road.

Yang Yang did not enter the big list, intensively stunned and shocked with Alkmaar's top spot this weekend.
