Chapter 47 Ajax's Knockout

I don’t know when it started, Ajax’s genius day gradually diluted the purpose of selecting talents, and turned into a gathering to maintain the emotions of the club and fans.

With Amsterdam as the center and within 60 kilometers of the surrounding area, all players of the appropriate age who are willing to participate can sign up. All the club's echelon coaches and scouts will come to the event site to observe and select outstanding players for the final selection.

The entire talent day selection event lasted for four days. The first three days were the primary selection. Only the players who passed the primary selection could enter the final selection on the fourth day. During the final selection, the stars of the first team and the coaching staff will also come to the scene. Participate in activities.

According to the official data given by Ajax this year, the total number of players who participated in the primary election in the first three days was as high as more than 1,500, setting a new high in recent years, and only a very small number of them were able to enter the fourth place. God's final choice.

Around Amsterdam, Ajax has arranged more than 50 scouts, and has also established partnerships with 24 lower-level clubs to recommend players and share information with each other. There are a fixed number of places, and you can recommend your own youth elites to directly enter the final selection.

Almere is one of those twenty-four clubs.

According to convention, Yang Yang and other three recommended players do not need to participate in the first three days of the primary election, but only need to go to the Detokmost training base of Ajax on time on the fourth day to participate in the final election. .

In the morning, Dick Van Poole and John Repp drove the car, picked up Henk Dimel and Nick one after another, and then picked up Yang Yang in the residential area north of the Motor City, and then took the fifth exit to the expressway. , all the way west.

Along the way, John Repp, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head frequently, and introduced to the three players in the back row the matters needing attention in the selection of the talent day. Kind of Yunyun.

Since Ajax's Tony Browns Slots and Patrick Radru have both been through with them ahead of time, John Rip and Dick Van Poole know that regardless of Yang Yang's performance at the Talent Day event No matter how, they will join Ajax after the event.

To this end, Almere will receive a compensation, but more importantly, Slots promises to loan two elite youth training to Almere to help this satellite club advance to the Dutch League as soon as possible.

Not being able to keep Yang Yang makes John Rip and Dick Vampel deeply regretful, but it is undoubtedly a very good deal to get two Ajax youth elites in exchange, not to mention that with Yang Yang. Joining Ajax has also greatly improved the influence of Almere's youth training.

If Yang Yang can play in the first team of Ajax, then he is bound to become a living sign of Almere's youth training.

For the player who is about to leave, John Rip can't help but feel a little sad, but he still has high hopes and encourages Yang Yang to perform as much as possible on the genius day, and strive to directly enter the second team. Under Van Basten's command potency.

This is also the only purpose of Yang Yang's trip.

…………

…………

The last time they went to the Amsterdam Arena, they took the bus to enter Amsterdam along the A1 highway and went directly north, then got off the highway at the intersection of Dimen, and after the game in Dimen, they went around the Southeast New Town and went west to the home of Ajax. .

But this time, after entering Amsterdam, they turned directly on the A9 highway to the west, then turned the A2 highway to the north, and got off the highway at the Amstel intersection.

"Look, that's De Tokmost."

As soon as he got off the expressway, John Repp pointed his finger at the north side of the expressway intersection. There was a small river beside the road. There were various rows of trees on both sides of the river bank, but from the gap, you could vaguely see the green fields on the other side of the river.

Henk Dimel and Nick had obviously been here many times, and they were not surprised at all. Only Yang Yang, who was next to the car window, stared intently in the direction of De Tokmost, and was very longing in his heart.

According to John Rip, Ajax's Amsterdam Arena is just east of De Tokmost, a walking distance of more than 500 meters. Although the surrounding area of ​​the stadium is still relatively deserted, it is believed that with the flow of people in the stadium Driven by the development of the new southeast city, it will become the commercial core area in the southeast of Amsterdam in the future.

The reason why Ajax chose to move their home stadium here was for this purpose.

After turning three intersections, we finally came to De Tokmost.

The first to enter the public eye is a large rectangular parking lot. It is said that every game day, a total of 2,000 cars can be parked here, but when Yang Yang and others arrived, most of the parking lot was full.

After Yang Yang and the three got out of the car, they couldn't help but stunned when they saw this grand scene in the parking lot.

That's the appeal of Ajax.

"Ha, John, it's really you."

Just as Yang Yang and others took their luggage from the trunk and were about to enter De Tokmost, a loud shout came from behind.

Everyone turned around and looked at the prestige, just to see a tall and fat middle-aged Dutch man chasing after him, followed by a few young players, looking at Yang Yang and others with hostile eyes, obviously they also came to participate in the selection.

"Hello Hank, nice to see you here."

After John Repp saw who was coming, he curled his lips inadvertently, but quickly squeezed out a smile and shook hands with the middle-aged Dutchman.

After the middle-aged fat man shook hands with John Rep and Dick Vample, his eyes quickly fell on the three players in Almere, especially Yang Yang in the center, mainly because his black hair and yellow skin were too conspicuous.

"Is he Yang Yang?" The middle-aged fat man pointed at Yang Yang and asked.

"Yes." John Repp replied.

The middle-aged fat man looked at Yang Yang unscrupulously with his eyes, and tutted his tongue regretfully, "Too thin, such a physique can't play professional football."

Yang Yang was a little unconvinced, looked up at the four players behind the middle-aged fat man, and found that they should be about the same age as him, but each of them was not small, and the worst one was stronger than himself.

"Che, can you be strong enough to play football well?" Henk Dimmel retorted in disapproval.

"Of course you don't need it in amateur football, but if you want to play in the professional league, you must have excellent physical fitness. Even if the selection of the Ajax youth team does not pay attention to physical conditions, you want to enter the second team or even the first team. Conditions are options that must be considered.”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged fatty next to a player in a sports suit. He seemed to be about the same age as Yang Yang and the others, but the tone of his speech was very arrogant, as if he didn't take Yang Yang and others seriously.

When Yang Yang looked at him, it was easy to see contempt in his eyes.

What the hell is this guy up to?

Regarding the selection criteria for youth training, there has been constant controversy in recent years. Whether it is physical or technical has always been the focus of controversy in Dutch football, and it is difficult to judge which is better or worse.

Henk Dimelton was also unhappy when he was choked by the other side, and sneered: "It's as if you have been in the Ajax youth team."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, the middle-aged fat man laughed and pointed at the player who was talking just now: "Don't say it, Vicente is really in the Ajax youth training camp. After four or five years, it was not until half a year ago that due to some objective factors, he failed to pass the assessment, and then he returned to our team."

Henk Dimer's expression changed suddenly, and he became embarrassed. He didn't expect that the one who was choking with him was an Ajax youth training player, and he had stayed for four or five years. not simple.

The middle-aged fat man obviously didn't pay attention to Henk Dimel, and his eyes still fell on Yang Yang, but he found that the Chinese had heard that there were Ajax youth training players among his players, Not moved, he was still calm, neither humble nor arrogant, which made him angry for no reason.

"I've heard of you, you perform well in amateur competitions, you are fast and have strong breakthrough ability, but if you want to enter the youth academy of Ajax, I am afraid it is not enough. In De Tokmost, they are not only It's all about performance on the field."

"I know." Yang Yang replied lightly.

He did know that whether it was Radru and Arroyo, or John Repp mentioned this to Yang Yang.

Excellent performance on the court can be caused by various reasons. For example, some players are precocious and have outstanding physical conditions. This is very advantageous in youth teams or amateur games. When these advantages are present, it will be completely reverted to its original shape.

As one of the clubs with the highest level of youth training in the world, Ajax naturally has very high requirements for selection of materials. This can be seen from Almere's semester assessment. This is just Ajax's satellite club. .

Yang Yang knew something in his heart, but he answered so calmly, but the middle-aged fat man didn't know how to pick it up. He had to swallow a lot of the words he had prepared in advance. After a cold snort, he took the Turn around and leave.

It was the player named Vicente who deliberately stopped when he passed by Yang Yang and looked at the Chinese in front of him defiantly, his eyes were full of hatred.

"That idiot Emmanuel Nulsson is just a half-way back left back, defense is not his specialty, you are lucky to meet him, but in the afternoon match, you better not meet me, otherwise... "

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yang interrupted him with a smile, "If you say that, I hope to meet you even more."

Vicente's eyes flashed with anger, and after gnashing his teeth and nodding towards Yang Yang, he quickly caught up with his teammates.

Henk Dimel and Nick felt relieved when they saw Yang Yang choking on each other. Isn't he just a youth player who was eliminated by Ajax? As for looking down on people like that?

Although both of them admitted that even the eliminated players from Ajax's youth academy are better than them, and they do have the capital to look down on them, they still feel very embarrassed to be ridiculed like this in person, but they can't choke in person. Just sound.

On the side, John Repp glanced at Dick Vample helplessly, then turned to Yang Yang and the three of them, and said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."

Yang Yang was taken aback, what does this have to do with John Rip?
