37 Eindhoven?
Since the first city derby of As80, the celebration banquet was held at Shen Ji Chinese Restaurant. Perhaps it was because Shen Ming's cooking skills were indeed good, or everyone thought it would bring good luck, and they unknowingly regarded Shen Ji Chinese Restaurant as a gathering place.
When night fell, Almere's players began to gather here intentionally or unintentionally. Instead, they did not enter, but occupied a table in the corner of the courtyard, and everyone gathered together to have tea and chat.
As long as you are busy after dinner and have dinner, Yang Yang will come out to accompany you.
Gradually, the business of Chinese restaurants is getting better and better, and more and more citizens are beginning to like to eat here.
So Shen Ming and Yang Yang discussed and simply allocated the area in the corner to Almele's players.
Tonight, when Henk Dimmel came, Nick and five others were already making tea in the Almere area, but Yang Yang was in a daze after dinner at the restaurant looking at the dozens of business cards stacked together in front of him.
These are the business cards left by the scouts who visited today. Yang Yang took a closer look, including Henk Fonk of Utrecht, Michel Becks of Feyenoord, and scouts from many teams such as Alkmar and Roda JC.
Two of them attracted Yang Yang's attention were Carras van Barron and Pitt Devither from Eindhoven.
Carras Van Barron's business card says scouts, but Pitt DeViser writes the chief scouts.
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 in the Eredivisie and Dutch League, and any team is bigger and stronger than Almere.
She didn't understand what the specific situation was, but she could guess it vaguely. With my cousin's performance in the amateur game, it probably attracted the attention of many big teams. In the past, she was worried about whether she could stay in Almere, but now she should consider whether to stay in Almere, and even consider which team to go to to have 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 Yangneng is today?
If my cousin can become a well-known Dutch star, then she is also honored to be her cousin.
Yang Yang naturally didn't know what his cousin was thinking, so he shook his head. He knew nothing about these names, and 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 least, there is a professional who is helping out suggestions and figure out his current situation.
"What should I do now?" asked my cousin.
There are many scouts coming to the door today, with more than ten groups, and each group looks very fistful. Do you want to call them back? If you don’t reply, will you offend someone?
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 learn about the situation later."
It seems that we should find an opportunity to ask John Rep, who is a professional player after all, and he is the team's head coach, so he should be more clear about the current football environment.
He was sure that after Yang Yang put away his business card, he walked out of the restaurant. Henk Dimmel, Nick and others immediately waved to him to go over.
Yesterday's game ended, and today should be the day when the lottery results were released. I wonder who will be Almele's opponent in the sixth round?
But no matter what, the opponent's strength will definitely be stronger than Warrendan.
It's already so difficult to fight Warrendan, and the opponent in the sixth round is probably even more inauspicious.
At this moment, a noise came from the restaurant entrance.
Yang Yang looked up and happened to see head coach John Rep walking into the courtyard from a distance with a smile.
This is Almele's celebrity. It is the first time I have come to Chenji Chinese Restaurant. Not only are everyone around me secretly surprised, but even Yang Yang himself is a little surprised.
Many restaurant customers would not miss such a good opportunity. They immediately surrounded them, asking for photos and signatures, and surrounded John Rep. The scene made Yang Yang, Henk Dimmel and others envious.
Whether it was the former Dutch international, the European right winger, or the great contributor to Almele in the past seven years, the weight in the minds of fans is not comparable to those of them.
After finally getting rid of the fans' entanglement, Shen Ming also received the news and greeted John Rep enthusiastically.
Almere's head coach is here, which will greatly increase the reputation of Chinese restaurants. Shen Ming also knows that whether it is John Rep or Henk Dimmel, players such as him are obviously coming for his nephew.
He didn't expect that he could actually drive his Chinese restaurant business if he played well.
Knowing that Almele everyone had something to say, Shen Ming warmly greeted everyone, took out the good tea he had collected, and then went back to the store.
"The lottery results are out."
Without outsiders, Henk Dimmel immediately got to the point.
"Our opponents in the sixth round are far stronger than those of Warrendan."
Everyone knew that in the sixth round of the amateur game, there were only eight teams left. Only Almere was the third-level team, and the rest were teams with outstanding youth training in the Dutch Eredivisie and Dutch B. No matter who they met, it would be very difficult.
"Who is it?" Yang Yang asked.
“Ajax.”
"What?" Everyone took a breath.
Ajax is a big favorite in the amateur game. Babel, Amrabat and Maduro are all first-tier or accurate first-tier players. Many people even think that even if this team is placed in the Dutch Eredivisie, it will not be a problem.
Unexpectedly, Almele drew this giant team so quickly.
Yang Yang glanced at everyone and found that everyone was depressed. He couldn't help but feel timid before fighting. This is not possible.
"Okay, everyone, Ajax may not be able to win every battle, and we may not have no chance of winning."
Everyone immediately looked at Yang Yang.
"In the past five rounds, we have played extremely hard in every game. As80, Flaferentz and Volendan, which of these opponents is not stronger than us? There are several Ajax youth training teams in the team, how much better than us? But what is the result?"
When everyone heard this, they all picked up some morale and confidence.
Who said no?
Almele has been playing to this day, but isn’t it just that he defeats the strong one by one game after another?
The best example was the game against Warrendan last night.
John Rep, who had never spoken, gave Yang Yang an admiring look and nodded, "Yang Yang is right, Ajax is not invincible. No matter what, as long as we do our best, we will have a clear conscience to win or lose."
The head coach said this, and everyone agreed and nodded, but they were still a little nervous, and this could only be adjusted in the next few days.
Since the sixth round is home game, John Rep said that in the past few days he and Dick Vanpur will take time to lead the team to train, practice some defensive counterattack routines against Ajax, and also personally direct the game.
This undoubtedly boosted everyone's confidence and fighting spirit.
All that should be said was said, so John Rep stopped staying and stood up to say goodbye, but before leaving, he asked Yang Yang to send him out.
The two walked out of the courtyard side by side. On the side of the road towards the parking lot, John Rep asked Yang Yang about his current situation with concern.
"I heard that there are many scouts 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 Rep. Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen groups.
When John Rep saw this stack of business cards, he knew in his heart that Yang Yang might not be able to keep it.
The temple cannot accommodate the big Buddha, and now Yangyang is no longer something Almele can keep.
Yang Yang was originally intended to ask John Rep about some things, and took this opportunity to ask his doubts on the spot.
"I don't know what the specific attitudes of these teams towards you, and I can't say much, but look at these two people in Eindhoven."
John Repp took out two business cards from Carras Van Barron and Pete DeViser from the business card.
"Karas van Barron is Eindhoven's scout, responsible for the North Holland region. It's not surprising that he contacts you, but Pete Devither is Eindhoven's chief scout, so that's not easy."
"What's the meaning?"
"According to the process, Carlas Van Barron should first take a fancy to you, then submit a scout report to recommend you to Pete DeViser. After the recognition, Pete DeViser will inspect it himself, and then Eindhoven's youth training director Frank Arnesen will conduct an assessment. If they feel it is necessary, Arnesen may even come here in person, and even the first team coaching staff will send someone to accompany you."
Yang Yang is not familiar with the process of the Dutch team's inspection of players. Now, after hearing what John Rep said, he feels that Peter Devither can come in person and leave a business card, which means he is very close to Eindhoven.
"Although you have not signed a professional contract with us, you are our youth training players and they have not officially contacted us yet, so you should be still in the inspection stage. But if you are interested in joining Eindhoven, call him at this time, and your hope will be greatly improved."
As John Rep spoke, his eyes kept staring at Yang Yang's expression, as if he was trying to find some clues from his face, but in the end, he found that Yang Yang did not seem to have any reaction and still had a calm expression.
The psychological quality is really good!
But what he didn't know was that Yang Yang could not see any reaction on the surface, but his heart had already been filled with huge waves.
Eindhoven, the champion of the Eredivisie last season, is well known to coach Hiddink in China. There are two Asian players in the team, including well-known European stars such as Kezerman, Robben, and Van Bomel.
More importantly, Ronaldo entered the European League from Eindhoven and shocked the world in one fell swoop.
Retracing the development trajectory of idols back then was a beautiful thing that Yang Yang would never dare to imagine in his dreams.
Even he was a little stunned by this sudden pie.
Should I join Eindhoven?
