August 23.

Future Stadium.

Ajax Youth Team played against Volendam, a veteran Dutch team, at home.

To be honest, Sun Yu had little knowledge of Volendam, and his knowledge was certainly far less than that of Lorendam.

He only knew that Volendam's home stadium had less than 7,000 seats, which was the size of a semi-professional league in England.

There was no way, the Netherlands had a small land area and few people, and the professional league system was all small clubs.

Even in the Dutch Eredivisie, many clubs have a home stadium with a capacity of 10,000 people.

Luton, known as a community club, can find confidence in the Dutch Eredivisie.

With one hour left before the game, the Future Stadium, which can accommodate 10,000 people, was already 80% to 90% full.

Sun Yu took a look during the warm-up, and there were at least 3,000 to 4,000 Chinese in the audience. Anyway, there were so many Chinese faces at a glance.

Yesterday, it was said that someone was buying tickets for the Future Stadium at double the price. Could it be that there are scalpers in a stadium with only 50% attendance?

After the first two rounds of the Dutch Eredivisie, four teams won all the games and scored 6 points. Ajax Youth Team temporarily ranked first in the standings with a goal difference advantage.

Volendam ranked ninth in the Dutch Eredivisie last season, just one step away from the promotion play-offs.

They have loaned several players this season, aiming for the Dutch Eredivisie.

After coming to the Netherlands, Sun Yu felt that the most interesting thing was that small teams in the Netherlands all had big dreams, and no one was willing to give in.

Stam warned everyone not to be complacent before the game: "Although we have won two games in a row, we are not qualified to underestimate any opponent."

"If the opponent had not been sent off in the last game, our victory would not have come so easily."

"Volendam is stronger than Fortuna Sittard. They have a fast transition between offense and defense, and the players in the front court are faster and have a strong control over high balls."

"We must actively counter-grab after losing the ball, and pay attention to their small midfielders."

"Don't give them set pieces easily, they are very good at scoring in this regard."

The players of the Ajax youth team are all good in attitude, but Sun Yu always feels that these guys are a little too confident and too relaxed.

This is how young players participate in professional competitions. Their mentality is easily polarized, either too tight or too loose, and rarely controlled within a reasonable range.

No matter how the game progresses, Sun Yu must do his best first.

In the player channel, Sun Yu opened the attribute panel when he was free.

Shooting 71, ball control 74, dribbling 80, passing 54, crossing 45

Long shot 64, header 43, set-piece 64, explosiveness 76, speed 82

Confrontation 58, jumping 65, flexibility 71, balance 68, physical fitness 66

Off-ball running 70, vision 39, prediction 63, creativity 70, defense 35

Skills: fast change of direction.

Overall evaluation: leading player in the Dutch second division.

Dominant foot: left foot is comfortable, right foot is reluctant.

Physical condition: good.

After a week of experience, ball control, passing, crossing, header, set-piece, and vision have all increased.

Especially the passing attribute, which increased by two points in a week.

After the game last week, the passing attribute increased by one point, and after Sun Yu exchanged all the points for passing experience, it increased by another point these days.

At the current rate of improvement, maybe by the second half of the season, he will be able to compete with the first-team left winger Schone.

After the season is over, Schone may not be good enough, and the next target is Depay.

As for the two juniors, Kinash and El Ghazi, Sun Yu does not take them seriously at all, and surpassing these two people is a matter of course.

The only flaw is that the comprehensive evaluation is still the leading player in the Dutch second division.

Sun Yu is not sure whether the evaluation has been stuck here. Is it a problem of ability, or the level of the team is not high, or the data is not in place.

In short, the evaluation has been stuck for a long time.

After the game started, Sun Yu clearly felt that the strength of the Volendam team was not bad.

Their center is 1.87 meters tall and has a particularly strong ability to protect the ball. Once he gets the ball, Dansville can't get it even if he hits him hard. Emperor Li Yi has to give a thumbs up.

On the streets of the Netherlands, a person with a height of 1.87 meters does not look conspicuous at all.

In terms of height, most people can't find a sense of superiority here.

On the contrary, a man who is less than 1.7 meters tall will be particularly conspicuous on the street, because most Dutch women are taller than him.

Sneijder has lived in such an environment since he was a child and has no inferiority complex. His psychological quality should be very good.

The Dutch often play a joke on each other.Smile - the football field is the place with the most short people.

The defensive midfielder of the Volendam team is 1.94 meters tall. He is like a running ostrich on the field. He can run wherever there is a football.

There is also a kid on loan from Twente. He should be unknown in the future, but he looks very smart now.

The pace of the game was very fast. The two sides completed a total of five shots in the first ten minutes. Volendam had one more shot than Ajax Youth Team.

Sun Yu thought that this balance would continue, but the situation on the field suddenly changed.

In the twelfth minute, Volendam's cross was destroyed, and the right back of Ajax Youth Team rushed to the front court with the ball.

At the same time, the center forward of Volendam rushed out of the penalty area and chased to the side. A savage collision intercepted the football.

After watching the referee signal the game to continue, the center forward of Volendam rushed all the way and passed the ball to the middle after Riedwald caught up.

The short midfielder stopped the ball and took a step with his left foot, then shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area.

The football passed through the defensive players and flew to the lower left corner of the goal along the grass.

Ouch!

This ball was kicked very well!

Should Onana be able to poke the ball out?

Sun Yu stared at the backcourt, only to see Onana stretching his arms and rushing towards the football with both hands.

Why does this ball give people a sense of déjà vu...

It's bad!

This guy wants to hold the ball with both hands.

This is too difficult!

Sure enough, Onana touched the football with both hands, but only his fingertips touched the football.

He rushed the football into the goal...

0:1!

This kid is completely floating.

Sun Yu now remembered the source of this scene.

In the FA Cup final of the 2023-2024 season, Onana was scored by Doku.

These two goals are not exactly the same, but they are of similar concentration.

Onana is an emotional goalkeeper. When he is in good shape, he can save any ball and dare to do any action.

But if there is a mistake, he may become the "Regent" in seconds.

After losing the ball, the Volendam players were jubilant, the Ajax youth team players were silent, Onana kicked the goal post and dropped his gloves, and he was talking nonsense.

Sun Yu smiled and comforted Onana: "Brother, everyone will make mistakes, forget him!"

Onana patted his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, they are finished!"

Five minutes later, Volendam got a corner kick, and the ostrich midfielder accelerated with a run-up, and headed the football to the middle of the goal like a wild horse.

The speed of the football was very fast, hitting the right side of Onana's cheek and flying into the goal.

0:2!

This Onana!

Can't blame him entirely, but it's a bit embarrassing to be attacked right next to him...
