Chapter 123 Protect Yuan Shen, Launch a Fierce Attack on Ajax

Van der Sar slammed his hand on the table, staring intently at Ten Hag in front of him.

"This is the guy you picked? A star player who can't even maintain his physique?"

Van der Sar pointed to the notebook: "Come and take a closer look. These Chinese fans are blaming our club for all of his weight gain!"

"Do you know how much this affects our reputation?"

"We are the most professional football club in the Eredivisie. Every player is a valuable asset to us. Would we intentionally ruin a player?"

Unable to get a word in edgewise, Ten Hag stood quietly to the side, his mind racing.

The press conference turnaround was indeed impressive, but risks followed, and now it's time to pay the price.

He simply didn't expect Chinese fans to be so excited, to the point that Ajax's official account was forced to close its comment section.

What's even more disgusting are the media outlets. In just one day, all the major social media platforms published articles about the protest by Chinese fans, while the other two giants of the Dutch Eredivisie were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

"What are their demands?" Ten Hag still wanted to address the problem at its root.

"What else could it be? It's nothing more than protecting their star." Van der Sar calmed down a bit after venting. "They demanded that the club disclose Yuan's weight, and that he not be allowed to play until he successfully loses weight."

Van der Sar concealed the fans' calls for Ten Hag's dismissal.

After all, Ten Hag was the best mentor that he and the technical department had discussed and decided was the best. He was also someone that Ten Hag had personally chosen, so he had to protect him.

"I see." Ten Hag glanced at the schedule. "Okay, it'll only take three weeks."

"Hmm? Is there no problem?" Van der Sar seemed a little surprised.

"Of course, Yuan Meng can get back to a normal weight before the start of the league."

"Have you forgotten about the Champions League qualifiers?" Van der Sar reminded him.

"I haven't forgotten. I will find a way to get through this. My tactical system is gradually being implemented in the team. As long as the players execute my tactics, we can achieve victory." Ten Hag raised his head, his eyes firm and confident.

"Good!" Van der Sar slapped the armrest, the anger in his eyes dissipating, replaced by admiration. "I like your confidence."

.

He stood up and walked up to Ten Hag: "I fully support you, don't let me down."

"Then—about signing a full-back?" Ten Hag reminded Van der Sar at the right time. He had submitted a transfer application before, but there had been no progress.

Van der Sar pondered for a moment: "The budget is only 300 million left. You and Mark (the sporting director) can discuss that."

"clear."

Ten Hag walked out of the CEO's office and breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the photograph of Cruyff hanging in the corridor, clenched his fists, and felt ambitious.

"My tactics are absolutely capable of dominating the Eredivisie. This time, no one can stop me. I'm determined to take the title of world-class coach!"

Yuan Meng is sweating profusely in the indoor training field.

"Come on, keep going, one more!" Captain Feltman was encouraging a pig.

Yuan Meng's abdominal muscles twitched, causing him to grimace in pain.

He yelled "Ah!" and picked up the bouncy ball, slamming it heavily to the ground.

"How many are there?"

"The 15th one."

"If I remember correctly, you've already shouted 15 three times." Yuan Meng stared at Feltman with eyes that looked like she wanted to devour him.

-

"No problem, there are four groups in total, good luck!" Feltman pumped his fist and gave him an encouraging look.

"Okay, one more set is fine too, who told me to be so awesome!" Yuan Meng took a breath and gritted her teeth to continue training.

Feltman nodded in satisfaction.

"I'd say I'm the first person to train pigs."

"Maybe I can become an animal trainer after I retire."

Yuan Meng suddenly turned to stare at Feltman: "Who are you calling a pig?"

Feltman remained calm: "You misheard."

"Damn it, are you bullying me because I'm fat?!"

Yuan Meng's anger rose from his heart, and evil thoughts arose in his mind.

In a fit of anger, he only got angry for a moment.

Sigh, I still need to continue losing weight; time can't be wasted.

Finally, the afternoon training session ended, and Yuan Meng collapsed onto the ground.

"I feel that the intensity of my training is increasing every day."

"Nonsense." Feltman waved the schedule in his hand. "Mr. Wormholt is a professional sports science expert. He designed our entire muscle-building and weight-loss plan."

"He's helping you gradually adapt to high-intensity training and slowly regain your physical feel."

Yuan Meng looked at her own panel.

Current weight: 88kg

Target weight: 82kg

Okay, it really works well.

In just five days, I lost 4kg.

However, it will be a little more difficult later on, since Yuan Meng has a lot of muscle, and football players cannot lose too much muscle. Aerobic training is strictly controlled, so weight loss will be more difficult than for ordinary people.

"Alright, go get some rest." Feltman said goodbye, turned and left. "We'll continue tomorrow."

As Yuan Meng watched Feltman's departing figure, she became absolutely certain of one thing.

Feltman is absolutely addicted!

They're even more enthusiastic than me during training!

Yuan Meng sighed, plopped down in the massage chair, and lay down to relax while scrolling through social media.

Soon, a large number of Chinese messages caught his attention.

Why are there so many posts flooding the screen?

[Don't worry, Yuan Shen, we're launching a full-scale attack on Ajax's headquarters!]

[Report to Yuan Shen, Ajax's headquarters has fallen!]

[Reporting to Yuan Shen, the Ajax commander has announced his surrender!]

What the hell is all this?

Yuan Meng was completely confused until he saw the official statement sent by Ajax.

Ajax:

[Ajax Football Club, upholding humanitarian principles, would never allow its players to risk gaining weight. Player "Yuan Meng" is currently adjusting his physical condition and should be able to return to the field in approximately three weeks. We urge Chinese fans to refrain from leaving comments on the official account.]

[Yuan Meng, current weight 90kg, target weight 82kg.]

We promise that Yuan Meng will not be fielded until he reaches his target weight.

After reading it, Yuan Meng was even more confused.

I weigh 88kg, not 90kg. How come the official number has been increased by 2kg without my consent?

Also, why were I banned?

What's the meaning of not letting me compete?

Seeing Chinese fans praising him on Instagram, Yuan Meng pondered for a long time.

Are you afraid I'll get hurt?

It's heartwarming, but—

Yuan Meng quickly posted a message on Instagram.

[Dear brothers and sisters, my weight loss is going very smoothly, please stop attacking me on the official account. Also, I really want to compete!]

Soon, a reply came from below.

Did you all see that? Yuan Shen pleaded for Ajax; we have to give them face!

[Reporting to Yuan Shen, the war objectives have been achieved, and our side is withdrawing in an orderly manner!]

[Yuan Shen, focus on your football, we'll all support you!]

Yuan Meng smiled wryly and turned off her phone.

"Never mind, it's just a token of the fans' goodwill. I'll see if there are any tools that can speed up my weight loss."

The system store has indeed updated some products.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Ice Bucket Challenge: 50 points

It can reduce muscle inflammation, relieve fatigue, and speed up recovery.

[Effect: Injury risk -50% (lasts one week)]

Rooney's English tea costs 30 points.

It can relax your mind and body and speed up physical recovery.

[Effect: Stamina recovery speed +30% (lasts one week)]

His vacation has just ended, and he's recovered well, so there's no need for him to use Ronaldo's ice bucket.

The physical recovery is somewhat helpful; perhaps after the physical recovery improves, I can try to increase the training volume.

Yuan Meng glanced at her remaining 200 points and decided to redeem a cup of Rooney's English black tea.

Remaining points: 170

A steaming cup of black tea was placed in front of Yuan Meng, and the aroma of the tea immediately filled her nostrils, smelling much better than the tea she had bought in England.

As expected of a product from the system, it's different from those on the market.

Yuan Meng sat comfortably in a massage chair, enjoying her black tea.

A warm current flowed through my body, and my fatigue slowly dissipated, while my brain also calmed down from its excited state.

It feels so good, so good that I want to go to sleep.
