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 come and watch the game.

The opponent of this game is Ajax, and the entire southern Amsterdam is very concerned. Many fan organizations have booked locations with Almere in advance. Considering the large number of fans, the club temporarily decided to arrange for the host court.

The game was still held in the evening, and when night fell, there were already people rushing around the stadium.

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

When Yang Yang entered the stadium, he found that not only the simple single-story stands around the stadium were filled with people, but even the aisles around the stands were crowded. It was obvious that there were not only Almele and Ajax fans on the scene.

"Good, when will our stadium be so full?"

"That's natural. In the past, the competition only sold stand tickets and not stand tickets, of course it wouldn't be so full."

"Aren't you just quarrel? We are not even satisfied with the stands in the first team game."

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

“There must be, the parking lot outside is full.”

All Almele players were shocked by the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene. When did they feel such a scene?

Yang Yang was also shocked, but he was not as emotional as other teammates. He was more moved and even a little excited. These three or four thousand stadiums could have such a huge momentum. What if it were at home courts like Ajax or Eindhoven that could accommodate tens of thousands of people?

Then it's not swallowed up?

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

When he thought of this, he was burning.

"I didn't see that this kid is born to play games."

In front of the home team coach's seat, Dick Vanpur looked at the players who were training on the court and pointed at Yang Yang and smiled.

The other players were more or less shocked by the voices of the fans on the scene and became a little restrained, but Yang Yang seemed even more excited. He was meticulous in warm-up training, and he also practiced several times back and forth and back to run, which looked very motivated.

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

Having a large heart that resists stress is a basic condition for becoming a professional player.

John Rep used to think that Yang Yang was 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 outstanding.

"This kid...we can't keep it anymore." John Rep said with regret.

If Yang Yang is there, Almer would be more sure to compete in the DPRK League, but now...

At this moment, at the entrance of the stadium president's stands, club chairman René Terberg entered the stadium with a group of guests.

Instead of going up the stands directly from the stairs, a group of people came to the back of the home team coach's seat.

"Hi, John."

John Rep turned around when he heard the shouts behind him, his face changed immediately, and he smiled in surprise and greeted him.

"Hey, Tony."

John Rep shook hands hard with Ajax's chief scout Tony Browns Slotts outside through the iron fence.

"Oh, hello, Patrick."

"Hello, John."

"Ha, very happy to know you, Luther."

"So too, I've heard of Daming for a long time."

"Oh, old friend Fred."

"Haha, John."

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

"Oh my god, Marco, why are you here?"

It turned out to be Marco Van Basten!

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

The two shook hands through the iron fence.

John Rep suddenly remembered a previous report that Van Basten had obtained a coaching certificate and will start coaching Ajax II this summer and officially enter the field of professional coaching.

Playing and being good will teach, this is always a tradition of Dutch football.

With Luther Gulit coaching the Dutch National Youth Team this season, Van Basten coaching the second team of Ajax, and Rijkaard, who had coached the Dutch national team earlier and now Barcelona coach, the three Dutch musketeers who were famous in European football back then have all entered the professional coaching field.

"Oh my god, I really didn't expect you to come." John Rep said in surprise.

He and Van Basten have never been teammates, but have been opponents.

Although he was born in Ajax youth training, he had several teams in mainland Europe. When he returned to the Netherlands, he first went to Zwolle, and then went to his arch rival Feyenoord, and played against Ajax on behalf of these two teams.

Among them, in Feyenoord's second season, he and Gulit teamed up to lead Feyenoord to defeat Ajax, who is coached by Cruyff, who owns Rijkaard, Van Basten and Ronald Koman.

Van Basten, who was tall and tall, was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd and was easily identified by sharp-eyed fans. The scene was in full swing, and countless fans exclaimed at the same time.

It turned out to be Van Basten!

Who would have thought that he could actually see Van Basten in the amateur field!

The sound of fans on the sidelines immediately attracted the attention of the players on the field. Yang Yang looked at the sidelines and saw Van Basten, who was talking enthusiastically with head coach John Rep on the sidelines, was stunned.

This is his idol who has been fascinated by him for ten years!

He had dreamed of seeing Van Basten many times, but he didn't expect to actually see him.

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 mind kept telling him that there was something that he had to do, and that he would regret it if he didn't do it.

Then Yang Yang waved his hand to the warm-up teammate, rushed to the side of the field, rushed to John Rep, 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 laugh, but they all understood.

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

Not to mention others, Ibrahimovic, the rebellious first-team team, had no better reaction when he saw Van Basten than Yang Yang. He was not even as brave as Yang Yang, so he dared not come forward to say hello.

Van Basten stood very straight, with a wide smile on his face, stretched out his right hand and held Yang Yang's hand hard.

"I know you, Yang Yang, I'm very happy to know you."

Holding Van Basten's broad and warm right hand, Yang Yang felt as if he was about to suffocate. When he heard Van Basten's words, he actually had the urge to cry. He always aimed at Van Basten as his idol. He dreamed of competing with Van Basten, but unexpectedly, Van Basten had heard of him.

This feeling was so wonderful that he almost cried.

"Take a photo." Fred Arroyo, who was standing beside him, suggested.

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

The idol is only taller than Yang Yang, but it gives him the feeling that it is extremely tall, like a towering mountain standing in front of him, forcing him to look up.

John Rep and Dick Vanpur, behind him, looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Ajax was launching an emotional offensive and wanted to compete with Eindhoven for Yang Yang.

But it’s normal to think about it again. Who doesn’t fall for an idol at the age of Yang Yang?

Van Basten, Zidane, Ronaldo, Maradona...

The idea of ​​asking Van Basten to come in person is also to show Ajax's intention.

So, neither John Rep nor Dick Vanpur pointed it out, but let it go.

"Perform well, I hope to see your outstanding performance."

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

Yang Yang looked at Van Basten deeply and nodded heavily.

…………

…………

Van Basten's arrival did not cause a commotion among Ajax players, but many people found it funny.

Is the reaction so big?

But it is also true. It is rare for others to see Van Basten once, but Ajax's youth training players are different. They can see them almost every day, so naturally they don't find it strange.

An Ajax central defender pointed to Yang Yang who was walking back to the stadium to warm up, and reminded the African-American player who had a braid like Luther Gulit and dark-skinned skin: "He is Yang Yang of Almele's No. 9."

"It doesn't seem to be very good, I'm quite thin." The long-braided player felt that it was inconspicuous.

"In the last game between Warrendan and Almere, he scored twice and reversed Warrendan. I guess that he is still Almere's offensive core in this game. You should be careful on this side." The central defender reminded carefully.

"Hmph, of course, he is the right winger, and I am the left back, so you must be careful, but aren't you still behind me? Right, Thomas?" The long-braided player laughed indifferently.

The central defender who called Thomas shrugged, feeling helpless, and he had fulfilled his obligation to remind him.

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

"Don't worry, I'll force him to the side." The long-braided player looked at Yang Yang with provocation.

They are very clear that Almele is able to enter the sixth round this season, and this player named Yang Yang is the key. Not only is it shining, it has also attracted the favor of many teams. Ajax even mobilized the core senior executives of the entire youth training game.

No matter what, in front of the youth training masters, no one wants to mess up.

Once you perform well, you can get tickets to the first team every minute. Who wouldn’t do your best?

With Ajax's strength and under the noses of many core youth training executives, if they still cannot defeat their opponents, what qualifications do they have to talk about joining the first team?
