"How come you have time to see me?"

Yang Yang walked to Van Gaal panting, sat down next to him, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured water into his almost dry stomach with a big mouthful. This feeling was very satisfying.

After Yang Yang entered the Ajax youth training camp, Van Gaal seemed to keep a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, but from several contacts, Yang Yang could feel the care from Van Gaal, but this was just from personal friendship.

He believed that Van Gaal had been paying attention to him silently.

"I'm in trouble." Van Gaal said lightly.

But when Yang Yang saw that his expression was a slight smile at this moment, and he did not look like a person who was troubled.

"What then?" Yang Yang asked.

"The last time I encountered you in the skate park in Almele, you helped me solve the first one, but at the same time it also brought me the trouble now."

"Ah?" Yang Yang was a little puzzled. What does this mean?

"So, should you do something?"

“What about?”

Van Gaal raised his eyebrows, "For example... answer me a question."

"Oh, this is simple." Yang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

When Van Gaal saw him laughing, he couldn't help but laugh.

Is it very simple?

Maybe, but for Van Gaal at this moment, it is not easy at all, or even difficult.

"Okay, then we're going to start." Van Gaal said softly.

"For example, I mean, for example, you decide to do something, but everyone around you feel it is impossible to succeed, and they even take this opportunity to attack you and take revenge on you, what do you think you will do?"

Yang Yang frowned and thought, "It's like Henk Dimmel and others treated me?"

"It's much worse than that."

"Then I will definitely consider whether this is worth it. If it is worth it, then I will do it. No matter how many people doubt it or how many people attack it, I will do it. It's like Henk Dimmel and others laughed at me in front of the whole class, and I didn't take it seriously because I knew clearly what I was doing."

"But what if it fails? You may lose a lot of what you have now."

"This is the price of risk!" Yang Yang smiled, "But before we do it, how do we know what the result will be? We cannot dare to take risks because we are afraid of failure. How can there be a good thing in this world with zero risk?" Yang Yang asked back.

After seeing Van Gaal silent, Yang Yang said again: "Besides, everything I have now is obtained through hard work, not from the sky, lost, at worst I can work hard to fight for it again. What's there to be afraid of?"

Van Gaal looked at Yang Yang and had to admit that his words were very frank and true, and he was such a person.

This is how he walked along the way from Almere to Ajax.

In fact, Van Gaal knew very well that he had always been sober about how to choose, but he just wanted to find someone who recognized him to give him some encouragement and courage.

And this person is Yang Yang.

This is a very strange feeling. Yang Yang has always been very special since he met Yang Yang in Almele.

"I decided to do something," Van Gaal said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Yang Yang asked casually.

He did not notice that when Van Gaal said this, the expression on his face became extremely serious and solemn.

"I can't tell you yet, but you will know it later." Van Gaal didn't say it directly, but just looked back at Yang Yang and smiled faintly, "I'm telling you this because I think you will understand me, we are friends, right?"

"That's my honor." Yang Yang nodded with a smile.

"This is how people are. No matter how arrogant they are in normal times, they always want to get some help when they encounter difficulties. Even if it is just verbal comfort, I hope that no matter whether this thing happens or not, at least you will understand me. Even if one day I will be forced to leave Ajax, at least you will come to see me off."

At the end of the day, Van Gaal's expression was hidden in his uninformed loneliness.

Everyone's evaluations about Van Gaal are very polarized, with praise and criticism, and no one can explain it clearly.

But as a friend, Yang Yang felt that his temper was indeed a bit big, his personality was a bit stubborn, and it seemed difficult to get along with, but there was no doubt that he was not a hypocritical person.

"I remember."

Van Gaal sighed, stood up from his seat, and looked back at Yang Yang, "Don't practice too late, pay attention to rest, if you have time to practice your left foot more, you will make progress too slow."

At the end of the day, Van Gaal himself burst into laughter.

With Yang Yang's progress speed, it can be described as speed when it comes to anyone, but for some reason, Van Gaal still feels that it is not fast enough. Perhaps it is because he is already seventeen years old, or because...

"Keman and his coaching staff should be able to draw you to the first team in these days, train hard and perform well."

Yang Yang looked at Van Gaal's departure back, feeling both joy and sorrow.

What I am happy about is that I am about to enter the first team, and what I am worried about is what Van Gaal is going to do.

…………

…………

While Yang Yang returned to the locker room to pack up his things, Van Gaal left DeTok Most, but did not drive, but slowly walked along the way to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.

I entered the administrative office with a familiarity and came outside the office door of club chairman Michael Van Prague.

The door was not closed, and the person inside was sitting anxiously, waiting a little impatiently.

Seeing Van Gaal appear, Van Prag immediately stood up from the sofa, shouted Louis, and called him to come and sit down quickly.

Michael Van Prager was considered a son who inherited his father's business. His father created the most brilliant legend in Ajax's history. Michels and Cruyff both came from that period, but after Van Prager retired, Ajax was once deeply trapped in the quagmire, and finally Michael Van Prager stepped forward.

Van Prager brought Ajax the final glory, which was the legend during Van Gaal's coaching period, but was later impacted by the Boseman Act, coupled with the failure of youth training investment and the impact of the club's listing, Ajax's situation has been worse than that of one year, and has suffered losses every year in recent years.

In the past few years since entering the new century, Michael Van Prager's position as chairman has already experienced a crisis. Because of this, he once again invited his old friend Van Gaal to come out as the club's technical director, hoping to reverse the situation.

But now it seems that everything still hasn't changed.

"Louis, you said there is something important to talk to me, what's the matter?" Michael Van Prager asked with concern.

Van Gaal looked at the club chairman with a serious look and replied lightly: "I've decided."

"What?" Van Pragger's heart thumped and he hurriedly asked, "What has been decided?"

"Don't worry, I won't get entangled with Cruyff anymore. It means nothing to me, and I won't change myself easily and compromise on difficulties. I decided to do something I should do as the technical director of Ajax."

"What does it mean?" Van Prager had a very ominous premonition and was a little panicked.

"You know, Michael, there are things that cannot be escaped, and the problem arises, and it's there, we can't pretend that it hasn't happened, pretending that it's not seen, what we should do is how to solve these problems, not escape."

Van Prager now understood what Van Gaal was going to do, shook his head and said, "No, Louis, you're too radical in doing this, do you understand? Not to mention Cruyff, even other board members wouldn't agree."

"But you and I both understand that this may bring short-term pain, but it can bring long-term development to the team."

"No, this doesn't work." Van Pragher kept waving his hands, looking very resistant.

"If you don't cut off the carrion, you won't be able to grow good skin."

"But this is too much of a deal and may have a serious impact on the team's performance."

"It has been affected long ago. Michael, the European football world is no longer ten years ago. Now AC Milan is relying on a false transfer rumor, which can make our team panic and make our main general disunited. Can't you see clearly where we are?"

Van Gaal's words left Van Pragg speechless.

Ajax does have an extremely brilliant past, but as Van Gaal said, it is already past.

Today's European football is no longer the European football that was ten years ago. There was no Boseman Act at that time. At that time, Ajax could rely on a group of players he trained to rank among European football, but what about now?

Even Van der Fate, who is well-behaved, is secretly operating the transfer, let alone others?

Van Gaal smiled coldly and shook his head and said, "Michael, you, like many people and many fans, are still immersed in the glory of the past and are unwilling to open your eyes to see this brand new world. You are scared and you are escaping."

Van Prager couldn't stand it and sat back on the sofa powerlessly.

"This is a cruel world of survival of the fittest. What we need to do now is to put aside the layers of constraints from the past, make heavy burdens, make drastic reforms, and go into battle lightly, so that we can have the opportunity to maximize the team's position in European football. Otherwise, we will be eliminated sooner or later."

Van Gaal said this firmly, and Van Prager turned pale when he heard it.

"None of them... they would agree."

"I don't need their consent." Van Gaal said firmly.

"What do you want to do?"

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you believe me, I will try my best to ensure that the team can beat Bruges in the next game and advance smoothly. If the team advances by then, you can't stop me."

"What if...what if the promotion fails?"

"I resigned and took on all the responsibilities. From now on, everything about Ajax has nothing to do with me."

Van Pragger's hand shook, and he had never expected that Van Gaal would be so big, which was completely beyond his expectations.

But he had a premonition that no matter whether Van Gaal wanted to do could succeed, he would not have a good result on the team.

This should be the fate of the reformers. I have seen the first team waving. Where are you? Brothers and sisters, please vote, thank you!
