Chapter 6 New Location ()

Although Mark promised it was very relaxed, Basten did not let him go in the next few days. Not only did he add more training in daily training, but he also played the whole game in every youth team game so that he could absorb more game experience. If Mark was not persevering and tough, he would definitely be tortured by Basten's devil training method.

"Do you think I'm more handsome than you? So you deliberately beat me?"

However, Mark really misunderstood Basten's kindness. Basten is planning to train Mark to be a free agent in the game without a fixed position, so that Mark can become the core of the team's offense and defense.

When someone interviewed Basten many years later and said what was the most proud thing in his life, Basten said without hesitation: "It has cultivated a phenomenal free man like Mark."

However, Mark is still conducting tedious training step by step. First of all, some basic training programs and equipment-enhancing training. In this era, the physical strength of football players is becoming more and more important. With strength, there is a confrontational capital. Mark's weight of 1.8575 kilograms is actually not considered very thin. However, Mark's strength is very poor compared to European players. Therefore, Basten added a certain amount of equipment training to Mark while ending various training events every day.

Mark, whose training days were already very hard, has made the current hell-style training worse, but Mark has no complaints about this. He believes that success requires hard work and no way to reach the sky. Now he is continuing to wait for the explosion. He must make a splash, not for anything else, but for his own life.

The youth team's game was not stopped because of Mark's hard training. Instead, because Basten's can arrange it, Mark appeared in the starting lineup continuously and played the whole game continuously. Although Mark was not very adaptable to the new position, fortunately, Basten also gave him full trust. Mark is now well-known in Ajax's youth team, but what makes fans wonder is where this Asian kid came out.

Since the Ajax youth team is all in a step-by-step manner, senior fans have never discovered Mark from previous teams of B2 or lower age level. Moreover, Mark's performance is average but he can start every game. Some fans who watched the Ajax youth team found that this No. 16 player should have appeared in the central defender in the first game. Why did he appear in the midfield continuously after the second game? What does this mean?

The players couldn't understand what the hell was selling in Basten's gourd, but the head coach's authority is not to be offended, and the head coach is also a world-class striker Van Basten, once one of the three Dutch musketeers.

Nowadays, Mark goes to Chinatown to sleep in addition to training every day. After returning home every day, he wants Mark, who is like a dead dog, to go to Chinatown for two hours for massage and acupuncture and then go home to sleep. Although the nightlife in Amsterdam is colorful, Mark does not have the strength or the mood to appreciate it. The training is too hard. If it weren't for Lao Sun's help, Mark even doubts whether he could get up every day.

However, although Mark's efforts are huge every day, he has gained a lot. Under Basten's careful guidance, Mark's progress is very great now. Now he can basically adapt to standing at the midfielder. However, Basten is a striker after all, and he can be said to be very good at technical training. However, if he is asked to train defensive players, it is not his strength. Although it is not a strength, fortunately, Mark has a certain defensive foundation before. Although this foundation is not very thick, it is better than none.

In addition, Mark's life-long training shocked Basten. He really doubted whether Mark's physiological structure was Earthlings. Why can he continue such high-intensity training every day? Several times Basten had persuaded Mark to help him reduce the intensity of the training, but Mark refused to leave it off.

If Basten felt a surprise on the first day of Mark's practice, then it has become admiration now. Basten believes that he would never be able to do such high-intensity continuous training as Mark's age. This is not a day or two training. Mark's training has been going on for nearly two months now. Basten likes players like Mark's hard work. Should he recommend this young Chinese player to Koeman. Such players should receive better training. Koeman, as a defender, undoubtedly does better defensive philosophy than Basten.

"Let's wait a little longer," Basten thought to himself: "When Mark really has a certain strength, I will let Ronald Koeman know about Ajax's latest discovery tells me the former captain of the Dutch national team."

At this time, Mark's father Jack Ma also came from far away China to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This time he applied for a tourist visa. Mark applied to the Dutch government for his father to see him. After two months of waiting, Mark finally met his father. However, it was October now. Mark took a day off and wanted to welcome his father well.

First of all, Mark went to the airport with Momo to pick up his father. Mark felt uncomfortable when he looked at his slightly gray-haired father. His father used to be a handsome man. If he hadn't been for football, he wouldn't have gone into business. He had become so tired over the years. Mark directly gave his father Jack Ma a bear hug.

"You guys seem to have a lot of strength." Jack Ma looked at his son holding him and said jokingly: "It seems that the training level and food in the Netherlands are good."

Mark also smiled in agreement. He felt that his father still likes to joke as before. Mark was also very glad to have such a father. The relationship between Mark and Jack Ma has always been like friends, so the relationship between the father and son is very harmonious.

However, since his father came to Amsterdam, Mark would naturally take his father to have a tour. Although Mark hadn't played in Amsterdam for a day since joining the Ajax Youth Team, it was no problem with the tour guide Momo.

The first stop Mark chose not to visit the famous Dutch attractions "Windmill Village" and the Dutch Palace, but to take his father directly to watch an Eredivisie match at the Amsterdam Arena, Ajax's home court. The opponent was the The Hague Football Club in the Eredivisie.

Mark has now become the main player in the youth team. In addition, his oriental face and a taller figure than ordinary orientals are still easy to identify. Many Ajax fans saw Mark say hello. Before entering the stadium, Mark immediately became armed and took his father to the Ajax fan store to select Ajax's jerseys, hats, scarves, and some small accessories, to cheer for the Ajax club with all their strength.

"It seems that you are really famous." Jack Ma suddenly thought of a question and then looked at his son beside him and whispered: "Mark, I think Murong Momo is pretty good. Although he is a few years older than you, he will feel sorry for others."

"Puff" Mark sprayed out all the drinks he had just taken: "Dad, you're so irritating. We're just an employment relationship. You really know how to associate."

Jack Ma couldn't help but smile and didn't say much after looking at Mark's appearance.

The game began soon. Ajax's lineup was very luxurious, with many powerful players, such as Ibrahimovic, Van der Fate, Litmanin, Maxville, Hetinga, Trabelssi and other players are all targets for European clubs. Moreover, except for the old captain Litmanin, who are not over 25 years old, they can be said to be in their prime.

However, Mark's eyes did not stop at these players. His attention was still focused on Ajax's midfield. Due to Ajax's 433 lineup, three people were lined up in the midfield, De Jong, Sneider and Pinal. Among them, Sneider was mainly responsible for offense and sorting out, De Jong was responsible for defense, and Pinal was responsible for offense.

The reason why Mark pays attention to these three players in the midfield is because these three players are the goals that Mark needs to compete in the future. Sneider's strength should be the strongest in the current midfield and is also the focus of coach Koeman's training. However, what cannot be ignored is the most useful midfielder De Jong. Mark watched De Jong fight once and once, blocking the Hague's midfield offense. Although he had no performance in the offense, Mark felt that his goal should still be like De Jong. Nowadays, Ajax is not very strong in the Hague's offensive strength, so Mark feels that De Jong does not seem to have his absolute strength.

Now Mark fantasizes about replacing De Jong's position and playing on the court, intercepting, stealing, intercepting and stealing in the midfield like a meat grinder. Just as Mark imagined that Ajax scored a goal.

Van der Fate, who was left winger, used his extraordinary skills to knock the Hague defender down. The Hague defender showed a desperate look afterwards. This was Van der Fate's fourth time breaking through his defense. Van der Fate's outstanding skills won warm applause from more than 30,000 Ajax fans present.

"Raphael, kill them directly." The fans around Mark shouted wildly: "Raphael lets people in the small city see Ajax's gorgeous offense."

Mark still has some understanding of the mentality of fans. Although The Hague is not the capital of the Netherlands, because the Dutch Constitution stipulates that the capital is Amsterdam, it is the location of the Dutch central government, and Queen Beatries lives in the Hague and works here. All government agencies and foreign embassies are located here, and the Supreme Court and many organizations also work here, such as the Dutch Urban Autonomous Association vng.

Therefore, Ajax fans believe that The Hague deprived them of their right to become the seat of the central government, so they have always hated the Hague team very much.

The Ajax Fside stand where Mark is located has always been the location of the most radical and mad fans. They have always been known for their popularity, and this atmosphere quickly infected Jack Ma and Mark.

"Passing the ball, shooting the ball." Mark and Jack Ma shouted their opinions respectively.

I don't know if Van der Fate heard Mark's words, he passed the ball directly, soccer flew into the middle like an elf, Ibrahimovic flew out like a lion foraging, and scored the goal. The football flew directly into the Hague's net. Because the distance was too close, the goalkeeper had no time to react, and the whole cooperation was completed in one go.

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" The live commentator yelled wildly: "He scored a wonderful goal, and the defender who guarded him was like an idiot and was left behind by him. This goal fully demonstrated Ibrahimovic's explosive power and keen sense of smell in front of the goal."

In the stands, Mark seemed to him that although the offensive cooperation was impeccable, Van der Fate's personal skills and Ibrahimovic's goal-front score were perfect, but the initiator of this attack came from a steal from a midfielder De Jong. Mark felt that he had a goal to catch up. De Jong is now eighteen years old and was a rotation player last season. His chance to get the main player this season was entirely because of the previous main midfielder Jakub's rest, so De Jong made a temporary guest appearance. Originally, De Jong's position should be a full-back, and Koeman discovered De Jong's ability and now put him in the midfield. Unexpectedly, De Jong's larger position, the better.

It can be said that Koeman and Basten have some ideas now very similar, that is, they are good at exploring the versatility of players. De Jong's outstanding performance on the court has completely suppressed Yakub under his command. Now Yakub can only serve as a substitute for the young De Jong. It is so realistic in the football world. No matter how young you are, as long as you have the strength, you will definitely get opportunities. When the opportunity appears in front of you, you must grasp it in time. As long as you grasp it, you will succeed. De Jong is undoubtedly one of the representatives.

On the other hand, Pinal and Sneider are not all players with strong defensive abilities. Pinal has basically no defense, and Sneider's defensive abilities are also average, so the hardness of the midfield needs to be solved by De Jong. However, perhaps Koeman thinks the Hague's strength is too poor, so De Jong can solve everything alone. If he meets a strong team in the future, I believe Koeman will add another defensive player.

The game continued. Mark now regarded De Jong as his enemy, because if Mark wanted to get it, he would need to play. De Jong was a huge rock in front of him. Mark did not think he was worse than De Jong. On the contrary, he felt that he would do the high-intensity training he did every day, and believed that even De Jong might not be able to persevere.

Now that Mark has a goal, he naturally needs to observe everything about his opponent. Only by knowing himself and his opponent can he be defeated in a hundred battles. Being selected for the first team is definitely not Mark's goal. What Mark needs to do is not to wait for De Jong to rotate in the future and then he will symbolically get a chance to play. Now he wants to prove that he is the best player in the Netherlands, and then slowly conquer the world, so that everyone in the world knows that Chinese people also have football superstars, of course, this is more to be able to live better.

De Jong's next performance is still very stable. The Hague's current offense is concentrated on the wing because they dare not continue to attack De Jong's defense in the middle. As long as they attack the middle, they will be intercepted by De Jong. De Jong's defense area is very large. Once the football is intercepted, it will either be passed to Pinal or Sneed, and then the two of them will organize the attack.

"The defense is really strong." Mark made his own comment on De Jong in his heart: "But it seems too fierce, he is simply a butcher, and he doesn't have any offensive ability."

After the final game, Ajax defeated The Hague five-to-zero, Ibrahimovic scored two goals, Van der Fate scored a wonderful free kick, and Pinal and Litmanin scored one goal each.

After the competition, Mark took Jack Ma to a restaurant in Chinatown and had a simple meal of Chinese cuisine. The restaurant was run by Lao Sun's cousin. He had a very loud name called Li Yunlong. However, Mark had never seen "Bright Sword" at that time so he was not very curious. However, Li Yunlong prefers everyone to call him Lao Li, and Mark also followed his instructions and called him Lao Li like everyone.

It can be said that most restaurants in Chinatown in the Netherlands are not very good at the dishes. Mark had eaten many unpalatable restaurants before and then met Lao Sun and finally found delicious Chinese delicacies. Lao Li said that most restaurants in Chinatown are not chefs, and some restaurants are even opened by foreigners, so the taste of course will not be too good. However, since he met Lao Li, Mark's hard life has ended.

Jack Ma was also full of praise for Lao Li's cooking skills. After dinner, the father and son took his father back to the apartment. Originally, Mark was going to open a room for his father in the hotel, but Jack Ma firmly opposed it. He said that his son had a place to spend money in vain. Mark knew that he could not resist his father, so the father and son had to squeeze in Mark's apartment of more than 40 square meters all night.
