Chapter 17
Time seems to flow slowly in the day-to-day training, but it is actually moving forward quickly.
Having experienced youth once, Sun Yu now wants to use his time every day.
When he was 18 years old in his previous life, Sun Yu, like most people, felt that the future had unlimited possibilities.
Everyone thinks that youth should not be wasted on boring things. They are confused and searching every day, and then confused again, over and over again.
I am interested in everything and I am full of interest when I first come into contact with it.
Once the enthusiasm fades, it often feels boring and difficult, and then I will come into contact with another thing.
In the end, most of the memories of youth are vague, and they are often those days when I was fully committed and seemed difficult at the time, but they are particularly precious when I recall them later.
When one day I found that my youth was gone, I suddenly realized that my time had been wasted.
In this life, Sun Yu made up his mind to seize the good times of youth and work hard to compose a brilliant time.
Half a month into the U21 team, Sun Yu could clearly feel that most of his teammates were living in a muddle.
Most of these kids have only one ultimate goal, which is to make a lot of money, but they don't have any practical plans.
A few people come to this step for love, and they are now unconsciously discovering one thing - love will disappear.
As a person with a certain amount of social experience, although Sun Yu is far from the stage of understanding the wisdom of life, at least he is familiar with the journey of life.
For example, what these "kids" around him are thinking in their hearts seems to be written on their faces.
The idea of not training is written on the face, the body language of paddling training is written on the body, and the smiling face of not seeking progress is clear at a glance.
Children who really have ideas must always be thinking and observing.
For example, Van der Beck, he has always been very concerned about his stability and comprehensiveness.
And Bazoer is very aggressive on the court, and he is very persistent in defeating the opposing players.
When the six-man team was just formed, Sun Yu could clearly feel that the imaginary enemy in this kid's heart was himself.
When he became the leader of the six-man team, this feeling was very weak.
When he became the captain, Bazor wrote "I won't embarrass you" on his face and body language.
Onana trained very hard, but his fun was in passing and dribbling.
Whenever he had the chance, he would play in the midfield and try to dribble like crazy.
Sun Yu felt that he could see the status of his teammates, and Stam must be easier, because Sun Yu was only in his early thirties when he traveled through time.
As for Sun Yu himself, he dared to guarantee that Stam could not understand him for more than half of the time.
This may be the reason why he became the captain, because the attraction between people is usually not generated when they see through each other.
The team's personnel have also changed a lot in the past few days. Captain Bass and his closest supporters have been swept away by Stam.
The club notified all clubs from the Eredivisie to the Eredivisie of the news that the four players were put on the shelf by fax. This news was like a sale message sent by a shopping platform.
Bass was sold to the Eredivisie relegation team Waalwijk for 200,000 euros, and the substitute center forward last season was bought by the Eredivisie team for 100,000 euros.
No one was interested in the other two players, and they finally left the team on loan.
The vacancies they left were filled by U19 players, and this tossing made the average age of the team drop by one year.
In fact, before the start of the season, five U21 players left the club after their contracts expired.
In addition to the four players who were promoted to the first team and the four players who were sold off in the past few days, a total of thirteen people left the U21 team last season.
Central defender Danswell told Sun Yu that at this time last season, the team also had eleven people leave the team.
Now Sun Yu completely realized a truth, U21 is actually U20.
If you are 20 years old and still haven't reached the requirements of the first team, you don't have to endure the remaining year. If you endure, you will either be sold or leave when the contract expires.
What makes Sun Yu incredible is that his teammates didn't see Bass's departure. In fact, it was Stam's plan from beginning to end.
They all thought that Bass's departure was the result of the struggle between him and Sun Yu, and the loser left.
This shows that Stam's plan was well done, and it also shows that the kids are too simple now.
I'm afraid that ten years later, when they think of this time, they will suddenly realize that Stam is the real boss and Sun Yu just goes with the flow.
On July 16, Ajax YouthThe team welcomed the second opponent of the summer training camp, Sparta Rotterdam of the Dutch Eredivisie.
This team ranked 9th in the Dutch Eredivisie last season, entered the promotion play-offs, and eliminated a team.
The promotion and relegation system of the Dutch Eredivisie is very complicated. The promotion play-offs also involve the 16th and 17th teams of the Dutch Eredivisie. A total of 10 teams participated, which can be said to be a lot of work.
Simply put, the first place in the Dutch Eredivisie will be promoted, the 18th place in the Dutch Eredivisie will be eliminated, and the 6th to 9th place in the Dutch Eredivisie will play two rounds of play-offs first. The winning two teams plus the 2nd to 5th place in the Dutch Eredivisie and the 16th to 17th place in the Dutch Eredivisie will make up eight teams and play two rounds of knockouts. The winning two teams will advance to the Dutch Eredivisie.
In this way, as long as the morale of the two teams in the Dutch Eredivisie is not a problem and there are not too many injuries, the winning rate will be significantly higher.
In Sun Yu's opinion, this situation is likely to be caused by the huge gap in strength between the Dutch Eredivisie and the Dutch Eredivisie.
If the three teams are promoted and relegated, the three teams in the Eredivisie will be relegated the next year, and the three teams in the Eredivisie will be promoted the next year.
Moreover, the competitiveness of the three teams that are promoted will decline due to relegation, and they will gradually slide from the Eredivisie relegation teams to the Eredivisie level.
In addition, the league system of a country that allows youth teams to participate in the secondary league usually faces two problems.
First, the gap between the clubs that send youth teams and other clubs is too large.
Second, the same league cannot meet the requirements of the competition system and have teams of similar strength.
Just as the Spanish professional football system has difficulty supporting 42 professional clubs, the youth teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona can survive in the Spanish Second Division all year round, and they are still very comfortable.
The goal of the Ajax youth team is the top ten, and the ranking of Sparta Rotterdam just meets this standard.
Moreover, the confrontation intensity of Sparta Rotterdam is the standard of the Eredivisie.
After the game started, the Ajax youth team also pressed the opponent in the half.
But the opponent responded in less than five minutes, connecting the backcourt directly with the frontcourt.
Rotterdam Sparta has a 1.97-meter center forward, whose explosive power and speed are not much better than ordinary people, but he is strong, and his jumping and grabbing points are also very good.
After the opponent got the ball, he smashed it directly into the penalty area, playing the game of adults beating children clearly.
In the 15th minute, the center forward created chaos in the penalty area, and the opponent's player made a supplementary shot to score.
In the remaining time of the first half, the Ajax Youth Team relied on Sun Yu's breakthrough to gain an advantage.
Sun Yu was frequently fouled in the game. Because it was an away game, the defensive players only fouled but did not get a card, which made Sun Yu very uncomfortable, because confrontation was not his strong point.
In the 60th minute, Stam couldn't stand it anymore and simply let Sun Yu rest.
As a result, after Sun Yu left the court, Rotterdam Sparta scored another goal with a long shot.
After conceding two goals, Onana lost his energy and saved the opponent's shot into his own goal.
0 to 3.
The first game between the child and the adult ended in failure, but the process was better than the content.
