Chapter 16 Ronaldo II?

Winning the ball, it seems that even the air becomes sweet.

That was the mood of Ajax chief scout Tony Browns Slots on Sunday morning.

Last night, Ajax played well against visiting Graf Sharp at the Amsterdam Arena.

Ajax's men adjusted quickly after being led by Hans van der Haar in just three minutes of the opening minute and were swiftly equalised by midfielder Jakub van der Vaart in the 16th minute. score.

If the game was evenly matched in the first half, then the second half was completely dominated by Ajax, with Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Galasek, Pinar, Maxwell and Boccari scoring goals successively. In the end, he helped Ajax to smash Graf Sharp seven to one at home and completed a hearty victory.

This victory greatly relieved the pressure on Ajax. At the critical moment, the two local rookies, Van der Vaart and Sneijder, also showed their core temperament, which made the team feel gratified.

In the four games that Swedish center Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed, Van der Vaart performed extremely well, scoring six goals in four games, and the limelight once again overwhelmed the Dutch No. Van der Meede.

Van der Meyde is Ajax's best player this season. The right winger has been favored by many giants in the Champions League and has been rumored to leave the team this summer.

This is also the heart of the team, including head coach Koeman.

Defense is the biggest problem for Ajax. Young players such as Heitinga and Qiu are not mature enough, but the offense is quite sharp. They are the best offense in the Eredivisie this season. Van der Vaart and Ibra The number of goals scored by many players such as Simovic has reached double digits, which can be described as blooming everywhere.

Among them, Van der Meede on the right is the team's most important right-sided striker. If he really transfers and leaves the team, it will inevitably bring incalculable losses to the team's offense, but if there is a giant team Bidding, Ajax is also difficult to keep Van der Meede.

As early as the mid-1990s, after Van Gaal's generation of Champions League champions fell apart, Ajax was unable to retain its stars and completely became a star processing factory for European giants.

But it is precisely because of this that Ajax takes scouting more seriously than ever before.

Excavating semi-finished products, sculpting them, and then selling them at high prices for arbitrage has become the consensus of Ajax's management, and it is also Ajax's way of survival in the fiercely competitive European football.

Ajax won 7-1, but PSV lost 3-1 to Feyenoord on the road, Kežman scored a goal, but Van Hoydonck scored a hat-trick, two of them Penalty, which caused great controversy.

But no matter what, Ajax managed to close the league points gap to three points.

With two rounds remaining in the league, everything is still possible.

It was with such a happy mood that Slots walked into the scouting office of De Tokmost, Ajax's training base.

Ajax's scouting network is all over the world, not to mention the Netherlands. Northern Europe and Africa are also the most important areas for Ajax's scouting resources. Every day, there are scouts all over the world, or contact with Ajax. Jax's connected partners send player information and tracking reports.

Assistants would collect these reports into volumes and deliver them to Slotz's desk on time every morning.

As always, the first thing Slots does after he goes to work is to read the report.

Although Ajax has long since lost its glory in the early 1990s, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still a strong team in European football. It is also known for its youth training, which naturally attracts young players from all over the world. .

There are countless player profiles sent to the team every day. Slots has long been used to it. He browsed it roughly and picked out a few players who were more interested to learn more about it, even if he saw the finale, about the teenagers around Amsterdam. When the news of the football match was reported, an amateur scout recommended a winger known as Ronaldo II, but none of them caught his attention.

Ronaldo II?

This year, there are not too many players who have been detained with this title, but how many are real?

Will the pendulum be the Ronaldo II?

And he's still a right-back who has only played two games...

Slots shook his head and closed the report in his hand, and placed it in the corner of the table, with a wry smile in his heart, "The quality of scouting is getting lower and lower these days. It seems that it should be rectified again."

Technical director Leo Benhak had a scandalous affair with the club's little secretary, claiming that he was leaving the team this summer, so he could get together and break up, but in fact he has left the club and he is no longer in Amsterdam.

The management is currently looking for a suitable technical director. It is said that the chairman has also been selected, and Slotz, who is currently acting as the temporary technical director, feels that he should take the opportunity to rectify the scouting network, so that he can have a good hand. score.

Iron camps, flowing soldiers.

The new technical director took office, and I don't know what to do.

…………

While Slots was worried in the southern suburbs of Amsterdam, Yang Yang was at the skate park in Almere, finishing his morning basic training, sweating profusely, as if he had been pulled out of a bucket.

Since the beginning of May, the weather has gradually become warmer.

He scored the first goal after landing in the Netherlands, which gave Yang Yang a strong confidence, but what really stimulated him and made him train harder last night and today was the Amsterdam Arena.

Even just thinking about it, he felt extremely shocked, and at the same time, he also deeply felt the disparity between himself and the group of young players in Ajax.

After returning to Almere last night, he specially watched the live broadcast of the game. Van der Meyde's performance on the right made him feel ashamed, and Van der Vaart's skills and talents made him want to worship.

But these two players are not much older than him.

The gap is so big, and the teammates have such a good training platform. If you don't try to catch up, you will only be pulled further and further away.

"Drink water."

The middle-aged Dutch man who often came to see Yang Yang's training came again, still with two bottles of water, still sitting in that position, not saying a word, and only after Yang Yang completed the special training program, he handed over one. bottle of water.

"Thank you." Yang Yang took the water and wiped his sweat with a towel while thanking him.

"I just played the whole game yesterday. This morning I not only doubled my training, but also increased the intensity. Can you bear it?"

Feeling a little concern in his tone, Yang Yang chuckled, "I understand my own body, it's fine."

His training volume is checked by Lao Bing at the super training ground. If he can't bear it, Lao Bing will not allow him to do it.

"You have something on your mind." The middle-aged Holland said with certainty.

Yang Yang was a little strange, "How do you know?"

"It's written on your face." The middle-aged Holland joked.

He clearly knew that the other party was joking, but Yang Yang couldn't help but reached out and touched his face, which made the always serious middle-aged Holland smile.

"I heard that you performed very well yesterday, with two assists and one goal, and the success rate of one-on-one breakthroughs is very high. It seems that you have gained a lot from special training recently, and your basic skills have improved a lot. What's on your mind?"

For this middle-aged man who was so unfamiliar that he didn't even know his name, Yang Yang was wary at first, but after a long time and more contact, he found that the other party was not malicious. Every time he just watched his training and chatted with him. After a few words, he gradually let go of his guard. At this time, when he heard the question from the other party, he hesitated for a while, and then expressed the depression in his heart.

"This is normal. These people have been receiving the most formal and professional football training since they were young. The basic training you are doing now, they are already familiar with it when they are eight or nine years old. If you have a gap with them, then Of course."

"I understand." Yang Yang nodded, a trace of unwillingness flashed on his face, "But it's just unacceptable."

"What do you want?"

Yang Yang pondered for a while, and asked with concern, "Do you think it is possible for me to catch up with them?"

"I'm still saying that, it's as hard as the sky, but since you can see the difference, but you still have this idea, you might as well give it a try."

"what do you mean……"

"What you said when we first met, you have to try everything before you know it."

After Yang Yang heard this, he felt a lot better, and then looked at the middle-aged Dutchman, very curious.

"When you were at Ajax, what position did you play? Was it as good as Van der Vaart, Van der Meede, Sneijder, or Litmanen? What was it like to play at the Amsterdam Arena?"

"When I played, Ajax's home stadium was still at the Olympic Stadium. They only moved to the Amsterdam Arena in 1996, so I don't know what it's like to play there, but..."

The bitterness in the middle-aged Holland's eyes flashed for a moment, and he quickly continued to reply: "I have never played for the first team of Ajax, but as an opponent, I have come, but it feels no different. ."

"So that's how it is." Yang Yang nodded, but soon a new question emerged, "Why do I often meet you here?"

"Because I like to come here to watch your training." The middle-aged Holland was very frank.

"why?"

"I made a bet with Truss, my girlfriend."

"what?"

"I bet you can't last a month in this tedious basic training and she thinks you can."

"Then what?" Yang Yang thought it was funny that he had become a gamble for the old couple.

"We made an appointment. Whoever loses has to promise the other party to do one thing."

"Then you now..."

"I hope you can do it." The middle-aged Holland said very sincerely.

He was so frank, but Yang Yang was a little speechless. Although he really wanted to know what to do if he lost, he felt presumptuous. After all, this is a matter between the old couple.

"It's almost time, I made an appointment to play golf, it's time to go."

The middle-aged Holland stood up from the bench and looked at Yang Yang beside him before he took a step away.

"At your current rate of progress, at most one week, you should appropriately reduce the training of the ball, just pay attention to maintaining that feeling of the ball, don't blindly flip the ball for the sake of the ball, only the ball will not play well. "

As soon as he took a step, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around, "Oh, yes, and also, practice your left foot more."

After speaking, he left without any hesitation.
