30 sharp knives
Five days later, at night, the Almele Youth Team Training Ground.
In the second round of the amateur competition, Almere welcomed Nalden.
Narden is a small town in the southeastern suburb of Amsterdam, located in the south of Almere, separated by Lake Hoy.
Taking advantage of the thrill of breaking as80 from the first round, Almele played very actively at home and took the stance of attacking from the beginning, and wanted to swallow this opponent with poor strength in one breath.
It was still Yang Yang, still on the right, and still on the pendulum. This time it took less than two minutes. Almere drilled through Nalden's defense line on the right. Yang Yang's cross was hit by the No. 11 center who came down from the first team, but failed to score. The No. 7 left winger scored a bargain in front of the goal.
After scoring first, Almele completely turned on the crazy attack mode.
Yang Yang felt like he was in a state of no one on the right, completely sieve Nalden's left, instigating offensives again and again, breaking through his opponents again and again, helping the team gain a four-to-zero lead in the first half.
The strength of the two teams is very different, but Almere is very morale and continues to pursue the victory in the second half.
In the end, after the ninety minutes of the game, Almele won a big victory at home.
Yang Yang contributed two assists and one goal in this game, and he was extremely successful. He was once again recognized as the team's best performer. After the game, he was praised by head coaches John Rep and Dick Vanpur.
John Rep, who is a right winger, personally taught Yang Yang some of the problems that arose in the game, mainly because he believed that Yang Yang's offense was not aggressive enough and should enter the penalty area more.
Yang Yang felt that his shooting ability was not strong enough, and his first stop was not good enough. The penalty area was the area with the most dense defense, so it was easy to expose his weaknesses. For the time being, he could still play his advantages when he was on the wing.
Although the two people have some disagreements, they both accept each other's ideas. John Rep also gave Yang Yang a lot of opinions based on his own experience and put forward some practical suggestions for his next development plan.
Yang Yang was very grateful for this.

Yang Yang finally walked out of Almele City.
Vesp is a suburban town next to the new city in Southeast Amsterdam. The introduction of the Fecht River water cuts the town into many blocks, surrounded by green water and the scenery is extremely beautiful, which makes Yang Yang amazed.
The most famous town is a military bunker called Orsenmark Fortress on the island of the Fecht River to the east. It is said that it was built 150 years ago. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a tourist attraction that many tourists are passionate about. There is a yacht marina on the outer side of the fortress. Visitors can take yachts to raft on the Fecht River, which has a unique flavor.
Vesp has a population of only tens of thousands, but the sports atmosphere is very strong. There are hockey and rugby stadiums in the southeast, while the gymnasium in the north is built with tennis courts and five standard-sized football fields.
In the third round of the amateur match, Almele's away challenge to Vesp was held in one of the home stadiums.
The game was still held in the evening, attracting the arrival of residents of the town. Vehicles filled the parking lot south of the stadium. Enthusiastic fans surrounded the stadium, and many parents brought their families to watch the game.
Vesp also has certain strength to enter the third round of the amateur competition, and they obviously received news that Almere defeated As80 and defeated Nalden one after another. In this game, he took the weak posture of defending and counterattacking, especially Yang Yang, who focused on Almere's sharp sword on the right.
Although he was given the attention of his opponent, Yang Yang was still very active on the right side.
He has outstanding physical fitness and always runs to the opponent's defense space with the advantage of [God's Vision]. This makes professional defenders feel a headache when facing As80, let alone face this group of amateur players in Vesp.
And after focusing on Yang Yang, the middle lane naturally became weak, and Henk Dimmel immediately took the threat.
When the game reached the 39th minute, Yang Yang took the ball on the right and forcibly broke through the opponent's defense, and once again sent the ball to the front point. When the No. 11 forward hit the goal, Almele was already three-to-zero lead.
After the second half of the game, Yang Yang became more and more braver in the battle. Vesp's players' physical fitness declined faster and were unable to stop Yang Yang anymore. They could only watch Yang Yang complete the impact again and again on the right side, sending the ball into the penalty area again and again.
By the end of the game, the score was already five to zero.
Almele once again won a hearty victory.
Yang Yang was under key control and only received two assists, but it attracted the main players of the opponent's defense, playing an important role in the excellent performance of Henk Dimmel and the two forwards in the middle. His repeated breakthroughs on the wing also made the fans watching Visp appreciate it.

In the fourth round of the amateur competition, Almere welcomed Flaferentz at home.
Fraferentz is a team from Sifsam. He has excellent overall strength and has also passed the championship in the first three rounds of the amateur game. He performed very well, especially in the third round, and even knocked a team from Udrecht down at home.
Almele was very cautious about the visit of this team. After playing Visp, he was even more attentive to wait for Flaferentz to arrive.
After three rounds in a row, Almere's performance in the amateur game has already shocked the fans, but the more they move forward, the stronger the opponents they encounter, and they may even meet participating teams from Dutch Eredivisie teams such as Ajax, Alkmar and Feyenoord. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Almere.
But the greater the challenge, the greater the gain.
As the amateur game deepens, the more fans they attract. Among the many fans, no one knows whether they will be involved in scouts from professional teams. Once they perform well, they may be attracted by big teams at any time.
Fraferentz, who played away, obviously did his pre-match homework. Facing Almere with excellent attack power, they put on a defensive counterattack. Their solid defense and strict defensive formation are extremely rare in the amateur league, which is also the core competitiveness that supports them to the fourth round.
Both sides played hard to solve at the beginning of the game. Almere still used the sharp sword from the right as the main offensive point, and Henk Dimer in the middle was responsible for organizing the support and back insertion. This offensive mode was very successful in the first three rounds.
But this time, he completely failed to face Flaferentially.
The opponent's tight defense made it difficult for Almele's offense to open up. Yang Yang found it difficult to receive passes from his teammates on the side of the frontcourt, and had to expand his range of activities and frequently retreat to receive the ball, but in this way it was difficult to directly threaten the opponent's defense line.
Henk Dimmel, who was in the middle, was completely silent and was once again restrained by the other party.
Fraferentz was stronger than the attack, and both sides fell into a tough battle. No one could break through the opponent's goal. The first half ended at zero to zero, which was the first time Almere did not score in the first half since participating in the competition.
After the second half of the game, Flaferentz still defended with all his strength.
Yang Yang was active on the right and pulled the opponent's left back and forth to run back and forth with the left midfielder. He had no choice but to rely on fighting to deal with the opponent. The teammates around him were basically unable to break the deadlock, and he could only rely on running and pulling to find opportunities.
The game time is passing by bit by bit, and both sides are extremely expensive, and no one can do anything to each other.
Until the 73rd minute, Yang Yang once again pulled the ball to the air to catch the ball. He used a long-distance pass from the central defender in the backcourt. His physical energy was also consumed a little, and his technical movements were slightly deformed. The first stop was not stopped. The ball directly broke out of his control, which surprised him and immediately chased him quickly.
The left back of Fraferentz, who was following behind him, was also surprised. Seeing the football flying towards him, he rushed forward without thinking. It was like passing the ball to him.
The two were competing with speed and rushed towards the ball from different directions at the same time.
Yang Yang gritted his teeth and used his speed to the fastest, finally taking the lead in the opponent's half a step and poking the ball.
This stab just made the ball avoid the opponent's left back slid over the shovel. Although Yang Yang tripped by the opponent's body, he staggered for two steps, quickly stabilized his body and quickly rushed towards the ball.
The opponent's left central defender was also paying attention to the situation. After seeing Yang Yang poking the ball past his teammate, he immediately chose to rob. But when he saw Yang Yang sprinting over again, he was shocked. The speed was so fast.
While hesitating, Yang Yang had already caught up with the ball, and he had no time to think about it.
After seeing Yang Yang catch up with the ball, he had no time to think about it any more. His body almost instinctively, naturally made a false move to break through the right outside line, and then he suddenly hit and shook to the inside line.
Faced with this sudden false action, the opponent's left central defender instinctively blocked, but ended up empty-handed. When he wanted to stop the momentum and return to defense, his body lost balance and slipped on the grass.
Yang Yang had a skilled pendulum, and he shook the opponent's left central defender directly, and quickly penetrated the penalty area from the inside.
Fraferentz's right center defender rushed over to fill the room to assist in defense, but after entering the penalty area, the initiative was completely controlled by Yang Yang's feet. He first made a fake move to take a foot and suddenly hit the ball, and then gently passed the ball to the middle.
The No. 11 forward who caught up all the way from behind would not miss such an opportunity. After stopping the ball, he directly pushed the ball from a close distance to the lower left corner. The goalkeeper of the Flaferentz on the right was attracted by Yang Yang and could only watch the ball enter the net.
One to zero!
The entire stadium didn't suddenly exclaim until this moment.
Yang Yang, who had just driven the ball for a long distance of more than 30 meters, shook his head panting. The sprint just now was really deadly.
But soon, he was thrown on the grass by his teammates who rushed over quickly.
Chapter completed!
