Chapter 37 Eindhoven?
Since the first intra-city derby of AS80, the celebration banquet was held at Shenji Chinese Restaurant. Perhaps it is because Shen Ming's cooking skills are really good, or maybe everyone thinks that it will bring good luck, and unconsciously, Shenji Chinese Restaurant is regarded as a It's a meeting place.
When night fell, players from Almere began to gather here intentionally or unintentionally. They did not enter, but occupied a fixed table in the corner of the courtyard, and the big guys gathered together to eat, drink, and chat.
As long as he was busy with dinner and had dinner, Yang Yang would come out to accompany him.
Gradually, the business of Shenji Chinese Restaurant became better and better, and more and more citizens began to like to eat here.
So as soon as Shen Ming and Yang Yang discussed it, they simply allocated that corner area to Almere's players.
Tonight, when Henk Dimer came, Nick and the other five had already made tea in the Almere area, while Yang Yang was looking at the dozen or so sheets stacked in front of him in the restaurant after dinner. Business card together in a daze.
These are the business cards left by the scouts who visited today. Yang Yang took a closer look. Henk Funk from Utrecht, Michel Becks from Feyenoord, and Alkmaar and Roda JC and other scouts for many teams.
Among them, the ones that caught Yang Yang's attention the most were two of them, Karls Van Baren and Peter Dewieser from Eindhoven.
Karas Van Baren's business card says scout, but Pete Dewieser says chief scout.
What's the meaning?
"Cousin, do you know these people?" cousin Shen Yuzhu asked with concern.
She doesn't know much about football, but at least she knows that behind these business cards are the big teams of the Eredivisie League and the Eredivisie, any one of which is bigger and stronger than Almere.
She didn't understand what was going on, but she could vaguely guess. With her cousin's performance in the amateur game, she was afraid that it would attract the attention of many big teams. She used to worry about whether she could stay in Almere, but now It should be considered whether to stay in Almere, or even which team to go to to have a better development.
Sometimes when she thinks about it, she has to be surprised by the changes in the world. Who would have thought that Yang Yang could be today?
If her cousin can also become a well-known football star in the Netherlands, then she will be honored to be a cousin.
Naturally, Yang Yang didn't know what his cousin was thinking, and shook his head. He didn't know anything about these names. The only thing he knew was the team behind them, but he was also confused now.
This was the first time he felt that he should find a reliable agent as soon as possible.
At the very least, there is a professional on the side to help with advice and figure out your current situation.
"Then what do I do now?" the cousin asked.
There are a lot of scouts coming to the door today, there are more than ten groups, and each group seems to be Shengyi Quanquan. Do you want to call them back? If you don't answer, will you offend people?
Yang Yang smiled bitterly, "I don't know either."
This should be considered a happy trouble.
"Forget it, put the business card here first, and I'll check the situation later."
It seems that I still have to find an opportunity to ask John Repp. After all, he is a professional player and the head coach of the team. He should have a better understanding of the current football environment.
Sure enough, after Yang Yang collected the business card, he walked out of the restaurant. Henk Dimel, Nick and others immediately waved to him and called him over.
The game ended yesterday, and today should be the day when the results of the draw are released. I wonder who will be Almere's opponent in the sixth round?
But no matter what, the opponent's strength will definitely be stronger than Volendan.
Playing Volendan is already so difficult, and the opponents in the sixth round are probably even more fierce.
At this moment, there was a movement from the door of the restaurant.
Yang Yang looked up and saw the head coach John Repp walking into the courtyard from a distance with a smile.
This is a celebrity in Almere, and it was the first time I came to Shenji Chinese Restaurant. Not only everyone around was secretly surprised, but even Yang Yang himself was a little surprised.
How could many restaurant guests miss such a good opportunity, and they immediately gathered around to take photos and sign autographs, and they surrounded John Repp so tightly that Yang Yang, Henk Dimmel and others were all overwhelmed. Very envious.
Whether it is the former Netherlands international, the European-level right winger, or the great hero of Almere in the past seven years, the weight in the hearts of fans is not comparable to those of them.
After finally getting rid of the entanglement of the fans, Shen Ming also received the news and greeted John Repp warmly.
The presence of the head coach of Almere will greatly increase the reputation of Shenji Chinese Restaurant, and Shen Ming knows it well, whether it is John Repp or Henk Dimel and other players, obviously they are here for their nephews. .
He also didn't expect that if he played well, he could actually boost the business of his Chinese restaurant.
Knowing that everyone in Almere had something to say, Shen Ming greeted everyone enthusiastically, took out the good tea that he treasured, and then went back to the store.
"The result of the lottery is out."
There were no outsiders, and Henk Dimmel immediately got to the point.
"Our opponents in the sixth round are far stronger than Volendam."
Everyone knows it well. In the sixth round of the amateur competition, there are only eight teams left. Only Almere is a third-level team. , No matter who you meet, it will be very difficult.
"Who is it?" Yang Yang asked.
"Ajax."
"What?" Everyone gasped.
Ajax is a big favorite in the amateur game. Players such as Babel, Amrabat and Maduro are all first-line or quasi-first-line players. Many people even think that even if this team is placed in the Eredivisie, Relegation is not a problem.
Unexpectedly, Almere actually drew this giant team so quickly.
Yang Yang glanced at everyone, and found that everyone was very depressed, and their hearts could not help but be afraid before fighting, this is not acceptable.
"Okay, everyone, Ajax doesn't necessarily win every battle, and we don't necessarily have no chance of winning."
Everyone immediately turned to Yang Yang.
"In the past five rounds, we have played extremely hard in every game. AS80, Fraferentz and Volendam, which of these opponents is not stronger than us? There are several Ajax youths in Volendam. How much better than us? But what about the result?"
When everyone heard this, they all picked up some morale and confidence.
Who said it wasn't?
Almere has played to this day, doesn't it rely on the weak to defeat the strong one game after another?
The game against Volendam last night was the best example of that.
John Repp, who never spoke, gave Yang Yang an admiring look, then nodded: "Yang Yang is right, Ajax is not invincible, no matter what, as long as we go all out, we will win or lose. No shame."
The head coach said so, everyone agreed, and nodded, but there was still some anxiety in his heart, which can only be adjusted in the next few days.
Since the sixth round is the home game, John Repp said that he and Dick Vample will take time to lead the team in training these days, practice some defensive counterattack routines against Ajax, and will also personally direct this game.
This undoubtedly gave everyone a boost of confidence and fighting spirit.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and John Repp will not stay any longer, and gets up to leave, but before leaving, he asks Yang Yang to send him out.
The two walked out of the courtyard side by side. On the road to the parking lot, John Repp asked Yang Yang's current situation with concern.
"I heard that a lot of scouts have been contacting you recently?" John Repp asked tentatively.
Yang Yang didn't know where the head coach got the news. When he nodded, he took out the stack of business cards from his pocket, which surprised John Repp. He didn't expect that there were more than a dozen groups.
When he saw the stack of business cards, John Rep knew in his heart that Yang Yang might not be able to keep it.
The temple can't hold the big Buddha, and today's Yang Yang is no longer something that Almere can keep.
Yang Yang had intended to ask John Repp something, and took this opportunity to ask his doubts on the spot.
"I don't know what the attitude of these teams is to you, and I can't say more, but you look at these two people in Eindhoven."
John Repp took out two cards of Callas Van Baren and Pete Dewieser from the business card.
"It's not surprising that Karlas Van Balen is the PSV scout for the North Holland area and he's contacting you, but Peter Dewieser is PSV's chief scout and it's not easy already."
"What's the meaning?"
"According to the process, it should be Karls Van Baren who first saw you, and then submitted a scouting report to recommend you to Peter Dewieser. After approval, Peter Dewieser will personally investigate, and then Eindhoven's youth training. The director, Frank Arneson, will make an assessment and if they feel it is necessary, Arnesson may even come over in person, or even the first team coaching staff will be accompanied."
Yang Yang is not familiar with the Dutch team's process of inspecting players. Now, listening to John Repp say this, he feels that Peter Dewieser can come in person and leave a business card, which means that he is very close to PSV Eindhoven. .
"Although you have not signed a professional contract with us in Almere, you are our youth training player, they have not formally contacted us, so it should be still in the investigation stage, but if you are interested in joining Eindhoven If Wen is to call him at this time, the hope will be greatly improved."
When John Repp spoke, his eyes kept looking at Yang Yang's expression, as if to find some clues from his face, but as a result, he found that Yang Yang didn't seem to have any reaction, and still had an indifferent expression.
Mental quality is really good!
But what he didn't know was that Yang Yang didn't seem to have any reaction on the surface, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.
Eindhoven, the Eredivisie champion last season, the head coach Hiddink is well known in China. There are two Asian players in the team, and there are more famous European players such as Kežman, Robben and Van Bommel. star.
More importantly, Ronaldo landed in the Europa League from PSV and shocked the world in one fell swoop.
Retracing the development trajectory of idols back then is simply a beautiful thing that Yang Yang never dared to dream of.
Even he was a little stunned by the sudden pie.
Do you want to join Eindhoven?
Yang Yang was moved.
