Chapter 20 Semester Assessment
Over the past month or so, Yang Yang felt that his biggest improvement was in his mentality.

In the year since he landed in the Netherlands, he suffered setbacks successively, and his whole person became seriously lacking in self-confidence. Especially after joining the Almere youth team, he was abused horribly and thought of giving up countless times.

But since he got the super training ground, he has seen hope again. In the hard training again and again, he clearly feels that he is improving. Although the training is extremely boring, this kind of progress makes him see hope.

Eager for success and eager for progress, this has become the driving force behind his persistence.

Gradually, Yang Yang began to adapt to this kind of boring basic training. After each training, he seemed to be able to feel the extremely small progress, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment, especially after participating in the competition, he was ecstatic about his progress, which further strengthened his determination to continue training.

The improvement in strength brought about by training, and the increasingly outstanding performance in training and competitions gave Yang Yang great confidence, and also sharpened his tenacious mind, allowing him to dare to fight no matter what situation he is facing or facing any opponent.

Even if there is a mistake, he can quickly reverse his mentality.

This ambition benefited him a lot in the semester assessment. Even in the last 10 minutes of the offensive and defensive match, Yang Yang became opponents with Henk Dimmel and others, facing the team's main left back, but he quickly became the main attacker of his pair.

With the cooperation of [God's Vision], every time Yang Yang runs and catches the ball, he brings great trouble to the players defending him. As long as he is given a little space, as long as his teammates pass the ball in place, he can quickly dribble the ball and create a threat.

When he met Yang Yang in the group, the left back of the team was crying. Although he tried his best, he was still unable to stop Yang Yang. He was forced to break through again and again. After playing for more than ten minutes, he found that his one-on-one defense success rate was zero.

Yang Yang has a unique move, but it is that seemingly simple pendulum move that is extraordinary, but he has mastered it with proficiency.

Not to mention the Almere youth team, even in inter-school competitions, no defensive player could stop him.

If it weren't for Yang Yang's poor basic skills and his frequent mistakes, his performance would definitely be better than now.

Fortunately, after 15 minutes of playing, John Repp and Van Gaal quickly reached a consensus, and Dick van Poel immediately replaced Yang Yang, and Henk Dimmel was also replaced.

Needless to say the latter, Yang Yang's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, and everyone knows it very well.

"This boy is very strange and elusive," sighed John Rip, shaking his head.

In just over a month, Yang Yang gave him the feeling that he had been reborn, but he was completely unpredictable.

"He persisted in the basic training for more than a month. You know how boring it is. It is not something that ordinary people can persist, but he did it. I heard that he is training every day except for eating, sleeping and going to school. I can't believe how hard I am."

Van Gaal had seen Yang Yang train with his own eyes, and he admired Yang Yang's hard work.

A 16-year-old boy can have such determination and self-control. He is very impressed and very curious. How far can such a young man progress?Is there still a chance to play in the professional league?

Of course, if they knew that Yang Yang was practicing basketball even when he was sleeping, they would be even more shocked.

"What do you think of him?" John Rip asked with concern.

Van Gaal shook his head, "I don't understand it, but I really want to see it."

This coincides with John Rape's thinking.

"But at his age, he has such a tenacious mind, at least among the people I have seen in my life."

Van Gaal's words made John Repp think deeply.

The two used to be teammates in the Ajax youth team. John Repp was a direct descendant and was later promoted to the first team. However, Van Gaal was not accepted by Ajax and was forced to switch to another team.

But after retiring, although Van Gaal worked as a physical education teacher, he quickly found a youth training job in Ajax and made achievements in this field. He trained Kluivert, Seedorf, Davis and Rezier. Top European stars such as, and took over the Ajax coaching position from Leo Benhak in [-].

After several years of operation, under the leadership of Van Gaal, Ajax vigorously promoted the youth training, and their strength improved by leaps and bounds. In [-] and [-], they reached the Champions League final.

It is the achievements of these two years that have established Van Gaal's lofty status in Dutch and European football. Although he failed to coach Barcelona twice and the Dutch national team was not ideal, it did not damage Van Gaal's prestige at all.

John Repp also admires this former teammate. At the same time, he also knows that Van Gaal's football creed is that hard work is more important than talent, so he attaches great importance to tactical discipline and player execution.

It can be said that this type of player Yang Yang is exactly what Van Gaal admires the most.

After Yang Yang left the field, the unlucky left back completely showed his power, and abused the right wing who came off the bench after that, not only showed his own strength, but also made everyone see the fact clearly.

It's not that his defense is too bad, but that Yang Yang's one-on-one breakthrough is too strong.

Everyone was also very puzzled, obviously he only knew how to beat others with the pendulum, but why couldn't he guard against it?
Yang Yang gives people the feeling that every time he uses it, it is different from the past, there is no rule to follow, and it is always changing according to different opponents, which makes it impossible for defensive players to defend against.

After the 10-minute offensive and defensive match ended, Yang Yang smiled and apologized to his teammates' complaints.

He really didn't think about embarrassing his teammates, but on the court, his only thought was to compete for the top three.

The strength of the teammates is too strong. Henk Dimel and Nick are the leaders of the team. Logically speaking, it is indisputable that they have won the top three. Yang Yang still has a big gap with them in terms of basic skills.

Therefore, Yang Yang can only grab points as much as possible in his own advantageous events, and learn from each other's strengths to make up for his weaknesses.

Looking at the teammates around, many of the teammates who were struggling at the elimination line were very worried, worried that their performance would not be satisfactory, and they would be eliminated by the coaching staff with low scores.

This scene also made Yang Yang very emotional.

More than a month ago, like everyone else, he was full of worries about the future. How could he have thought that a month later, he would not be worried about being eliminated at all, but would instead try his best to compete for the top three?
All these changes come from the super training ground, as well as his own efforts.

Looking at the expressions of his teammates, he also secretly vowed in his heart that he must continue to train and strive to improve himself.

"Don't worry, with your performance today, there will definitely be no problem in passing the test."

Henk Dimel at the side thought that Yang Yang was worried about the assessment, so he came over and comforted him with a smile.

Yang Yang responded with a smile, but did not explain. After all, he once said that he wanted to compete for the top three, but this became a joke for everyone. Even now, not many people still believe it.

The main reason is that Yang Yang's basic skills are indeed too poor.

"How do you think about the matter I mentioned to you a few days ago?" Henk Dimmel asked.

Yang Yang nodded, "Okay, count me in then."

After receiving the invitation from Henk Dimmel, Yang Yang discussed with his uncle first, and then called his parents. Although there was no semester assessment at that time, he expressed with confidence that he would be kept in the team.

His son is far away in the Netherlands, and his cultural achievements are also very good, and he is favored by a professional team that is about to enter the second level. Yang Yang's parents really have no reason to let him give up football and return to China to study, so they can only agree to let him stay in the Netherlands.

But my parents also made a request, that is, no matter what the prospect of playing football is, I must guarantee my grades in cultural courses. Even if I can't play football in the future, I can still study in a university in the Netherlands.

Of course Yang Yang agreed.

It’s not that he’s playing tricks on him, but that Yang Yang has been in high spirits every day since he got the super training ground, and found that his memory has become extremely good. He can often memorize what the teacher taught in class after only listening to it once, and he can draw inferences about other cases from one instance and draw inferences by analogy.

After more than a month, although Yang Yang spent all his spare time on ball practice, his performance in cultural subjects was not affected, but improved.

As for the reason, Yang Yang himself couldn't figure it out, and Lao Bing didn't give a good explanation. It can be regarded as an unexpected gain brought by the super training ground.

After the semester assessment in the morning, the coaches have to sort out the scores, combine the usual training performance, the records of the competition, and the cultural class scores in school, and finally give a comprehensive score.

The comprehensive score will not be given until the afternoon, but many teammates have already begun to congratulate Henk Dimmel and Nick in advance, thinking that they basically won the top three, there is no suspense, and many people have even agreed in advance that when Henk Dimmel and others go to the Genius Day, they must just ask for the autograph of the Ajax star.

Henk Dimmel is also sure of winning, and he never refuses his teammates' requests.

As for Yang Yang's bold words to compete for the top three places, as his teammates changed their minds, no one mentioned it again. Even if some people cared about it, they were unwilling to offend Yang Yang, but no one would believe it from the beginning to the end.

After John Rip announced the disbandment, everyone went back to the locker room to take a shower and then scattered their things.

Yang Yang bounced the ball and went all the way south to the skate park to continue his basic training.

In the coach's office in Almere, however, there was some controversy over the grading of the semester assessment results.

　In the new week, I want to give it a try, please support me a lot!
