Chapter 39 - Van Basten
It’s game day again.
Entering the sixth round of the knockout, Almere showed amazing strength and attracted countless citizens to come to watch.
The opponent of this game is Ajax, and the entire south of Amsterdam is very concerned. Many fan organizations have booked positions with Almere in advance. Considering the large number of fans, the club temporarily decided to arrange it at home.
The game is still in the evening, when the night falls, there is already a crowd of people around the stadium.
Since it is an amateur game, all fans can enter for free.
When Yang Yang entered the stadium, he found that not only the simple single-story stands around the stadium were full of people, but also the aisles around the stands were crowded. The scene was obviously not just Almere and Ajax fans.
“Good boy, when did our court get so full?”
“That’s natural. In the past, we only sold stand tickets, not stand tickets. Of course, it wasn’t so full.”
“Don’t you raise the bar? Our first team matches are not satisfied with the stands.”
“Are there 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 on the scene. When did they feel this battle?
Yang Yang was equally shocked, but he was not as emotional as other teammates. He even felt a little excited in his heart. These three or four thousand players have already formed such a huge momentum. If it is in Ajax Or Eindhoven’s home stadium that can hold tens of thousands of people?
Isn’t it swallowed yet?
Suddenly, Yang Yang gave birth to a longing. He hoped that he could ride like Idol Ronaldo and Van Basten in the stadium of tens of thousands of fans. Through the radio, let more people see him and hear him.
At the thought of this, he burned the whole person.

“I didn’t see that this kid was born to play games.”
In front of the coach of the home team, Dick Van Purr looked at the players warming up on the field and smiled at Yang Yang.
The other players were more or less shocked by the fans on the scene and became a little more restrained, but Yang Yang was more excited, the warm-up training was meticulous, and he also trained a few back and forth to sprint back and forth High spirits.
John Rep also noticed Yang Yang’s move and nodded and praised: “Some people are born to live for the game.”
Having a stress-resistant heart is the essential condition for becoming a professional player.
John Rep used to think that Yang Yang was stubborn. He repeatedly refused his good intentions. Even under the shame of his teammates, he never gave up, but he did not expect that his pressure resistance was so good.
“This kid … we can’t keep it.” John Rep said with regret.
If Yang Yang is present, Almere will be more confident in the Dutch League, but now …
At this moment, at the entrance passage of the stadium’s presidential stands, the club’s president, René Trberg, welcomed a group of guests.
A group of people did not stand directly from the ladder, but came to the back of the home team coach.
“Hi, John.”
John Rep heard the shouts behind him, turned around, and suddenly his face changed, and he greeted him with a smile of surprise.
“Hey, Tony.”
John Rep shook hands with Tony Browns Slots, the chief scout of Ajax, across the iron fence.
“Oh, hello, Patrick.”
“Hello, John.”
“Ha, very happy to meet you, Luther.”
“Me too, I heard the name for a long time.”
“Oh, old friend Fred.”
“Haha, John.”
When John Rep met and shook hands with Ajax’s chief scout, two youth assistants and scouts one by one, and then looked clearly at the tall figure turned out behind them, the whole person was stunned.
“Oh my god, Marco, how are you here?”
It turned out to be Marco Van Basten!
“Ha, I heard that there are games to watch, I certainly can’t miss them.”
The two shook hands vigorously across the iron fence.
John Rep suddenly remembered a previous report that Van Basten had already obtained the coaching certificate. This summer, he will start coaching the Ajax II team and officially enter the field of professional coaching.
Kick and teach, this is always the tradition of Dutch football.
With Luther Gullit coaching the Dutch national youth team this season, Van Basten coaching the Ajax second team, plus the previous coaching of the Dutch national team, now Barcelona coach Rijkaard, the name of the year The three Dutch Musketeers who shocked European football have all entered the field of professional coaching.
“Oh my god, I really didn’t expect you to come.” John Rep said in surprise.
He and Van Basten have not been teammates, but have been opponents.
Although he was born in Ajax’s youth training, he moved to several teams on the European continent. When he returned to the Netherlands, he first went to Zwolle, and then to the dead enemy Feyenoord, and represented this. Both teams played Ajax.
Among them, in the second season of Feyenoord, he and Gullit led Feyenoord to defeat twice in the league coached by Cruyff, with Rijkaard, Van Basten and Luo Ajax by Nad Coleman.
With a straight suit and tall figure, Van Basten is undoubtedly the focus of the crowd. It is easy to be recognized by the sharp-eyed fans. The scene was frying pan, and countless fans exclaimed.
It turned out to be Van Basten!
Who could have imagined that Van Basten could be seen on the amateur field!
The sound of the fans on the sidelines immediately attracted the attention of the players on the court. Yang Yang looked to the sidelines. At first glance, he saw Van Basten, who was eagerly talking with the coach John Rep. The whole person was ignorant.
This is an idol he has been fascinated for ten years!
How many times he dreamed he was thinking about seeing Van Basten, but he didn’t expect to see it.
He felt his whole heart beating faster and faster, as if he was about to jump out of his chest. Suddenly, a voice in his mind kept telling him that something must be done. Will regret it.
I saw Yang Yang waved his hand to his warm-up teammate, rushed quickly to the side of the court, and rushed to John Rep’s side. His eyes looked at the idol in front of him in disbelief, and he extended 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 players are idols from small to large?
If you do n’t talk about others, just say that the unruly Ibrahimović of the first team responded to Van Basten for the first time. It ’s not much better than Yang Yang ’s. He does n’t even have the bravery of Yang Yang. Say hello before.
Van Basten stood very straight, always with a broad smile on his face, extended his right hand, and firmly held Yang Yang’s hand.
“I know you, Yang Yang, very happy to meet you.”
Holding Van Basten’s generous and warm right hand, Yang Yang felt like he was suffocating. When he heard Van Basten’s words, he even had the urge to cry. Teng aims for idols. He dreams to compete with Van Basten, but he never expected that Van Basten had heard of himself.
This feeling is so beautiful, so beautiful he almost cried.
“Take a picture.” Fred Arroyo on the side suggested.
“Okay.” Yang Yang was overjoyed and immediately turned over the iron fence and came to Van Basten.
The idol is only slightly taller than Yang Yang, but it feels like he is very tall, like a towering mountain standing in front of him, making him have to look up.
Behind them, John Rep and Dick Van Purr both looked at each other, and both shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Ajax was in a sentimental offensive and wanted to compete with Eindhoven for Yang Yang.
But it is normal to think again. Who is not an idol player like Yang Yang?
Van Basten, Zidane, Ronaldo, Maradona …
The thought of letting Van Basten visit in person also shows the intention of Ajax.
Therefore, neither John Rep nor Dick Van Poor did not break the point, but let it happen.
“Good performance, I hope to see your excellent performance.”
Before Yang Yang returned to the stadium, 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 felt funny.
Is the reaction so big?
But it is also true that other people can only see Van Basten once, but Ajax ’s youth players are different. They can be seen almost every day, so naturally it is not surprising.
An Ajax centre-back pointed to Yang Yang, who walked back to the stadium to warm up, with a dark-skinned African-American player with the same long braid as Luther Gullit reminding: “He is Almere Yangyang on the 9th. “
“It doesn’t seem too good, the body is quite thin.” The long braided player felt very unremarkable.
“The last match between Volendam and Almere, he staged a double score and reversed Volendam. I guess he is still the core of Almere ’s offensive in this game. Be careful, “Zhongwei reminded cautiously.
“Huh, of course, he’s a right-winger, I’m a left-back, naturally I have to be careful, but isn’t there you behind me? Right, Thomas?” The braided player chuckled carelessly.
The central defender called Thomas shrugged, a little helpless, he had already done his duty to remind.
“In short, you should be careful, don’t let him enter the restricted area easily.”
“Relax, I’ll push him to the side.” The braided players looked at Yang Yang’s eyes full of provocation.
They are very clear that Almere can enter the sixth round this season. This player named Yang Yang is the key. Not to mention the glory. It also attracted the favor of many teams. Ajax was even more involved in this game. The core senior level of the entire youth training.
In any case, in front of the young men, no one wants to mess up.
Once you perform well, you can get tickets to the first team every minute, who will not do their best?
With the strength of Ajax, under the eyes of many youth training core seniors, if they can’t win the opponent, then what qualifications do they have to talk about entering the first team?
“I’ll step on you and enter the first team.” The teenager on the sidelines who just turned 17 looked at Yang Yang proudly.
