Chapter 39 Van Basten

It's game day again.

Entering the sixth round of the knockout round, Almere showed amazing strength and attracted countless citizens to watch the game.

The opponent of this game is Ajax, and the entire south of Amsterdam is very concerned. Many fan organizations have booked seats with Almere in advance. Considering the large number of fans, the club temporarily decided to arrange it at the home court.

The game was still played at night, and by the time night fell, the stadium was already crowded with people.

Since it is an amateur game, all fans can watch the game for free.

When Yang Yang entered the stadium, he found that not only the simple single-level stands around the stadium were full of people, but even the aisles around the stands were crowded. Obviously, there were not only Almere and Ajax fans at the scene.

"Honey, when did our stadium get so full?"

"That's natural. In the past, only grandstand tickets were sold for games, not standing tickets. Of course, it wouldn't be so full."

"Aren't you raising the bar? Our first team game is not even full of seats in the stands."

"I'm afraid there are three or four thousand people?"

"There must be, the parking lot outside is full."

All Almere players were taken aback by the enthusiasm of the fans. When did they experience such a battle?

Yang Yang was also shocked, but not like other teammates. He was more emotional, and even a little excited in his heart. The stadium with three or four thousand people has already formed such a huge momentum. If it is in Ajax Or what about a stadium like Eindhoven that can hold tens of thousands of people?

That hasn't been devoured yet?

Suddenly, Yang Yang had a desire. He hoped that he could ride in the stadium with tens of thousands of fans like his idols Ronaldo and Van Basten, and not only let the fans on the scene see him, but also broadcast live on TV. Through the radio, let more people see him and hear him.

Thinking of this, his whole body was on fire.

"I didn't see it, this kid was born to play games."

In front of the head coach's bench, Dick Van Poole looked at the players on the field during warm-up training, pointed at Yang Yang and smiled.

The other players were more or less stunned by the fans on the scene, and became a little cautious, but Yang Yang seemed more excited. Fighting spirit.

John Repp also noticed Yang Yang's actions, nodded and praised: "Some people are born to live for the game."

Having a big heart that can withstand pressure is the basic condition for becoming a professional player.

John Rep used to think that Yang Yang was very stubborn, and repeatedly declined his kindness. Even under the humiliation of his teammates, he would never give up, but he did not expect that his ability to withstand pressure was so good.

"This kid... we can't keep it." John Repp said regretfully.

If Yang Yang was there, Almere would be more certain to hit the Dutch League, but now...

At this moment, at the entrance of the stadium's chairman's stand, the chairman of the club, Rene Terberg, entered the stadium in front of a group of guests.

A group of people did not go up the stairs directly to the stands, but came to the back of the home team's coach's bench.

"Hi, John."

John Repp turned around when he heard the shouts behind him, his face changed immediately, and he greeted him with a surprised smile.

"Hey, Tony."

John Repp shook hands with Ajax chief scout Tony Browns Slots on the outside through the iron fence.

"Oh, hello, Patrick."

"Hello, John."

"Ha, nice to meet you, Luther."

"Me too, I've heard the name for a long time."

"Oh, old friend Fred."

"Haha, John."

When John Repp met and shook hands with Ajax's chief scout, two youth training assistants and scouts one by one, and then saw the tall figure turning out behind them, the whole person was stunned.

"Oh my God, Marco, how did you get here?"

It turned out to be Marco van Basten!

"Ha, I heard that there is a game to watch, of course I can't miss it."

The two shook hands vigorously across the iron fence.

John Repp suddenly remembered a previous report that Van Basten has obtained a coaching certificate and will start coaching the second team of Ajax this summer, officially stepping into the field of professional coaching.

Play and teach, this has always been a tradition in Dutch football.

With Luther Gullit coaching the Dutch national youth team this season, Van Basten coaching the Ajax second team, plus the Dutch national team coached earlier, now Barcelona coach Rijkaard, who was named The Dutch three Musketeers who have shocked European football have all entered the field of professional coaching.

"My God, I really didn't expect you to come." John Rip said in surprise.

He and Van Basten have not been teammates, but they have been opponents.

Although he was born in the youth training of Ajax, he has been in several teams in the European continent. When he returned to the Netherlands, he first went to Zwolle, and then to the sworn enemy Feyenoord, and represented this country. Both teams have played Ajax.

Among them, in Feyenoord's second season, he and Gullit teamed up to lead Feyenoord to defeat twice in the league coached by Cruyff, with Rijkaard, Van Basten and Ronaldo Nader Koeman's Ajax.

Van Basten, who was dressed in a straight suit and tall, was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd. He was easily recognized by sharp-eyed fans. The scene was immediately fried, and countless fans exclaimed in unison.

It was Van Basten!

Who would have thought that Van Basten could be seen in the amateur arena!

The voices of the fans on the sidelines immediately caught the attention of the players on the court. Yang Yang looked to the sidelines and saw Van Basten, who was talking eagerly with the head coach John Repp on the sidelines at first sight. He was completely stunned.

This is his idol for ten years!

How many times he dreamed about seeing Van Basten, but he did not expect to see it.

He felt his whole heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. Suddenly, a voice in his head kept telling him that there was something he had to do, and he would definitely not do it if he didn't. will regret it.

I saw Yang Yang waved his hand towards his teammates who were warming up, quickly rushed to the sidelines, rushed to John Repp's side, looked at the idol in front of him in disbelief, and stretched out his right hand tremblingly.

"You... hello, Marco, I... I..."

His blushing expression made everyone around him burst into laughter, but they all understood.

This is Van Basten, how many players have been idols since childhood?

Not to mention others, just say that the rebellious Ibrahimovic of the first team, the first time he saw Van Basten, his reaction was not much better than this Yang Yang, and he was not even as brave as Yang Yang. Say hello before.

Van Basten stood very straight, with a broad smile on his face, stretched out his right hand, and firmly grasped Yang Yang's hand.

"I know you, Yang Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Holding Van Basten's generous and warm right hand, Yang Yang felt as if he was about to suffocate. Hearing Van Basten's words again, he had the urge to cry. Teng is an idol as his goal. He dreamed of competing with Van Basten, but he didn't expect that Van Basten had heard of him.

It was such a wonderful feeling that he almost cried.

"Take a photo." Fred Arroyo suggested.

"Okay." Yang Yang was overjoyed, and immediately climbed over the iron fence and came to Van Basten's side.

The idol is only a little taller than Yang Yang, but it gives him the feeling that he is incomparably tall, like a majestic mountain standing in front of him, making him have to look up.

Behind him, John Repp and Dick Vampel glanced at each other and both shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Ajax was on an emotional offensive and wanted to compete with PSV for Yang Yang.

But it's normal to think about it again. For a player of Yang Yang's age, who doesn't fall in love with idols?

Van Basten, Zidane, Ronaldo, Maradona...

The thought of letting Van Basten visit in person also shows Ajax's intentions.

So, neither John Rip nor Dick Van Poole were a little bit broken, but just went with the flow.

"Good performance and I hope to see you do well."

Before Yang Yang returned to the court, Van Basten smiled and encouraged.

Yang Yang looked at Van Basten deeply and nodded heavily.

…………

…………

The arrival of Van Basten did not cause a commotion among the Ajax players, but many people found it funny.

Is the reaction so big?

But yes, it is very rare for other people to see Van Basten once, but Ajax's youth training players are different. They can be seen almost every day, so naturally it is not unusual.

An Ajax central defender pointed to Yang Yang, who was walking back to the court to warm up, and reminded the dark-skinned African player next to him with braids like Luther Gullit: "He is from Almere. No. 9 Yang Yang."

"It doesn't seem to be very good, the body is quite thin." The long braided player felt very inconspicuous.

"In the last game between Volendam and Almere, he scored twice and reversed Volendam. I guess he is still the core of Almere's attack in this game. Be careful." Zhongwei reminded cautiously.

"Hmph, of course, he's a right winger and I'm a left-back, so of course I have to be careful, but isn't there you behind me? Right, Thomas?" The braided player laughed nonchalantly.

The central defender named Thomas shrugged, a little helpless, he had done his duty to remind him.

"Anyway, be careful, don't let him enter the restricted area easily."

"Don't worry, I'll just force him to the wing." The long braided player looked at Yang Yang with provocation in his eyes.

They know very well that Almere can enter the sixth round this season. This player named Yang Yang is the key. Not to mention his brilliance, he has also attracted the favor of many teams. Ajax is even more dispatched in this game. The core of the entire youth training.

In any case, in front of the youth training bosses, no one wants to screw up.

Once you perform well, you can get tickets to the first team in minutes, who will not do their best?

With the strength of Ajax, under the watchful eyes of many core youth training executives, if they can't win their opponents, what qualifications do they have to talk about entering the first team?

"I will step on you into the first team." The courtside teenager who just turned seventeen said proudly looking at Yang Yang.
