Chapter 11
Seeing the rewards from the system, Sun Yu laughed out loud in his room.
What you think is what you get!
Since entering the U21 team, Sun Yu's daily training volume has been saturated.
Since the third day, Sun Yu's body has begun to sore, and his muscles are sore every day when he wakes up.
There is no way, Stam has maxed out the training intensity every day, and Sun Yu insists on two hours of extra training every day, but these are things that must be insisted on at the moment.
Although Sun Yu thinks that the problem is not big now, in a long season, he will definitely encounter a period of physical fatigue, and it is more likely to get injured during that period.
Professional players often play thirty or forty games in a season, and in European giants, it is basically fifty games at the bottom. These are all situations that Sun Yu will definitely encounter in the future.
In this case, fatigue removal potions can not only maintain the best condition, but also have the greatest effect of avoiding injuries.
This is simply a huge benefit for professional players. The superstar system is really not covered.
In the next three days, Stam still arranged high-intensity training sessions, and one day even arranged three training sessions a day.
I don't know if it's the club's established process or if it's a deliberate push for the renewal.
The remaining four players in the six-man group signed renewal contracts in the next three days.
Van de Beek signed a contract with an annual salary of 1 million euros, a contract period of 4 years, and a signing fee of 500,000 euros.
This professional contract is top-notch treatment for young players in the Eredivisie, and it's first-class even in the youth training echelon of European giants.
Of course, if you dig a genius from other teams, the salary will be another price.
Sun Yu's contract is also for four years, but his salary is only 420,000 euros, and his signing fee is 250,000 euros, which is only half of Van de Beek's.
Seeing Van de Beek's contract, Sun Yu said that he was not envious, but he was still sincerely happy for him.
Professional football is about how good you are and how big your contract is.
Van de Beek only took ten days to show his ability that is higher than other players in the U21 echelon, and has already locked in the position of the main force in the new season in advance.
Don't forget that he just turned 17 in April, and his potential is much higher than other players.
If such a player can't get a big contract, what's the point of other players?
Among the remaining players, Onana joined Ajax from Barcelona in the summer transfer window with an annual salary of 500,000 euros.
Like Sun Yu, Bazor also got a first-tier contract. De Boer and Stam are optimistic about his future development.
Zivkovic and Riedewald both got second-tier contracts with an annual salary of 260,000 euros.
On July 10, Ajax U21 team held a media meeting for the new season.
At the meeting, Sun Yu's six-member team and Muric showed their jerseys.
Muric is also a player introduced by Ajax in the new season, so he also appeared at the media meeting.
Ajax introduced him as a lottery ticket, spending 250,000 euros to introduce him, and his annual salary is also 260,000 euros in the second tier.
Seven players stood together. Sun Yu, holding the No. 7 jersey, stood in the middle of the seven people. Van de Beek and Onana stood on both sides of him. Bazor and Zivkovic stood beside them. Riedwald and Muric stood on the left and right sides.
Stam sat on a chair in front of the seven people. The media who came to interview immediately raised their cameras and left video materials.
You should know that in any public media conference, these photos shown to the public are very particular. The position when taking photos represents the status of the players in the eyes of the club.
The club has made arrangements before the media meeting, and no one can change the position without authorization.
Stam vowed in front of the media that he would make the youth team more competitive and let Ajax U21 create a youth storm in the Dutch Eredivisie.
As representatives of the new members of the team, Sun Yu and Van de Beek participated in the interview together.
Sun Yu confidently stated that the Ajax youth team is not afraid of any opponent in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Van de Beek was still a little shy, but the Ajax youngster said he was ready for the new season.
The next day, several major Dutch media reported on the Ajax youth team's preparations.
Several media outlets smelled something from the group photo of the media meeting.
As a paper media with high sales in the Netherlands, The Telegraph put the group photo of the Ajax youth team meeting in the social section.
"From the information revealed by the Ajax club, Sun Yu may become the first influential player in the club's history."He is a player with great potential. His appearance is likely to allow the club to occupy the local Chinese market."
As the most influential Chinese paper in the Netherlands, the United Times simply used a page to report the news about Sun Yu and notified the time of the warm-up match between Ajax U21 and Athletic Bilbao U21.
The Amsterdam Daily used an objective space to introduce Sun Yu, and also restrainedly stated that Sun Yu is a winger with outstanding characteristics and a competitive spirit.
But what people did not expect was that the media also reported the content of the captain Bass's interview on the same page.
Bass's words can be summarized into two major contents:
First, as the captain of the team, he is ready to lead the team forward.
This guy also emphasized that he is in good shape, but in fact, he is not good at all.
The second part is the concern about the team's state, which occupies the main space.
This guy said: "Mr. Yap has brought us a new tactic. The high-intensity training is a new test for everyone. The team is enjoying the struggle. ”
Next, the guy gave the media a hot topic: "There are 10 new faces from U21 in the team. I don't know if they are ready. Maybe the first half of the season will be difficult, but I will kick their asses at some point. They need motivation to move forward."
At the end of the interview, the guy released another hot topic: "The addition of new members has caused several small groups in the team. I know that some of them have conflicts, which has hindered the speed of team integration."
"We introduced some new faces in the summer, but some positions need to be given to U19 players. If there are no new members, we need to overcome difficulties together. After all, getting a higher ranking is a good thing for everyone. ”
The content of this guy’s interview was so shocking that Sun Yu’s jaw dropped. He could only sigh that this old yin-yang person didn’t care about the lives of others or himself.
Although Bass’ words were wrapped in positive meanings, he actually questioned the coach’s tactics and whether they were suitable for the team, questioned the ability of young players, and hinted that the club needed to strengthen the team.
People who didn’t know thought he was the boss of the team. Bass was just bullying Stam because it was his first time coaching the team and wanted to put pressure on him.
He overestimated his influence and underestimated Stam’s courage.
Stam had a gloomy face all day and didn’t communicate with Bass at all.
At the season preparation meeting in the afternoon, Stam announced the starting lineup for the next day. .
The starting eleven were all old players from last season, and Sun Yu's group of promoted players were all placed on the bench.
Seeing that the starting lineup was all old players, Bass couldn't suppress the corners of his upturned mouth. This guy actually succeeded in putting pressure on Stam through the media.
Sun Yu knew very well that the old players led by Bass were already standing on the edge of the cliff.
If there was any mistake in tomorrow's game, he would be gone soon.
July 11.
Future Stadium (home of the youth team).
Ajax Youth Team ushered in the aggressive Bilbao Youth Team.
Seeing the opponent's lineup, Sun Yu felt something was wrong.
The strength of Bilbao's youth players seemed to be Like a Championship team.
The opposing team has a black center forward who runs like a small truck.
There is a midfielder named Akshay, a technical midfielder who Sun Yu bought several times in his previous life playing FM and has been playing in La Liga.
Sun Yu also saw Laporte among the opposing players. This team is definitely a tough one carefully selected by Stam for the team.
Sure enough, the Ajax youth team was suppressed in the opponent's high-intensity confrontation.
The Bilbao youth team started with a high-pressure frontcourt defense. The Ajax youth team made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt and was scored by the black center forward.
When falling behind, Bass flatly denied the tactics arranged by the head coach before the game and ordered the frontcourt players to retreat. In the midfield, playing with the opponent to control the ball, this was the team's tactic last season.
In the 21st minute, Laporte scored with a header from a corner kick.
The Ajax youth team was beaten to a pulp and was suppressed by the opponent in the half.
The team had neither offensiveness nor passing and controlling, but was played around by Akshay.
In the 35th minute, the Bilbao youth team made three consecutive crosses in the frontcourt, and the black center forward scored another goal.
At the end of the first half, the Ajax youth team fell behind 0-3 at home.
Back in the locker room, Stam exploded directly, pressed Bass against the wall and yelled for ten minutes.
After scolding the team, Stam replaced ten players in one breath.
In the player tunnel, Sun Yu called his teammates to his side:"The opportunity has come, we must seize it!"
"We must fight from the first second until the end of the game!"
