Chapter 47 - Ajax\\\'s knockout
I do n’t know when it started, Ajax ’s genius gradually faded the purpose of selecting talents, and turned into a social event to maintain the emotions of the club and fans.
With Amsterdam as the center, within 60 kilometers of the surrounding area, all players of appropriate age who are willing to come can register. All echelon coaches and scouts of the club will come to the event site to observe, and select excellent players from the final selection.
The entire selection day of the genius day lasts for four days. The first three days are the primary selection. Only the players who pass the primary selection can enter the final selection of the fourth day. During the final selection, the first team stars and the coaching staff will also come to the scene. Participate in activities.
According to the official data provided by Ajax this year, the total number of players who participated in the primary elections in the first three days reached more than 1,500, a new high in recent years, and only a very small number of them can enter the fourth. The final selection of the day.
Around Amsterdam, Ajax arranged more than 50 scouts, and also established cooperative relations with 24 low-level clubs, recommending players to each other and sharing information. With a fixed number of places, you can recommend your youth training elite to enter the finals directly.
Almere is one of the 24 clubs.
In accordance with established practice, the three recommended players such as Yang Yang do not need to participate in the first three days of primary elections, but only need to go to the Detox Most training base in Ajax on the fourth day to participate in the final election. .
In the morning, Dick Van Purr and John Rep drove the car. After successively taking Genk Dimer and Nick, they also picked up Yang Yang in the residential area north of the Automobile City. , All the way west.
Along the way, John Rapp, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, frequently turned his head to introduce the three players in the back row to the precautions for the selection of genius day. Class of Yun Yun.
Since Ajax ’s Tony Browns Slots and Patrick Radru have already communicated with them in advance, both John Rep and Dick Fanpoor know that regardless of Yang Yang ’s performance on the Day of Genius Anyway, they will join Ajax after the event.
For this, Almere will receive a compensation, but more importantly, Slotz promised to rent two elite youth training to Almere to help the satellite club into the Dutch League as soon as possible.
The failure to retain Yang Yang deeply regrets both John Rep and Dick Van Poul, but the ability to exchange two young Ajax youths is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal, not to mention Yang Yang. Joining Ajax also has a big impact on Almere’s youth training.
If Yang Yang can play in the first team of Ajax, then he is bound to become a living signboard of Almere youth training.
For this player who is about to leave, John Rep can’t help but feel a little bit more, but he still hopes more, encourages Yang Yang to perform as much as possible on the talent day, and strives to enter the second team directly under Van Basten. Effectiveness.
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 the Amsterdam territory along the a1 highway and went northward, then got off the highway at the Dimen intersection. After the Dimen game, they went around the southeast New City and went west to the home of Ajax. .
But this time, after entering Amsterdam, they directly took the a9 highway to the west, then the a2 highway to the north, and got off at the Amstel junction.
“Look, that is Detok Most.”
As soon as he got off the highway, John Rep pointed his finger to the north side of the highway junction, beside the road was a small river, a row of trees on both sides of the river bank, but from the cracks we could easily see the green fields across the river.
Genk Dimer and Nick had obviously been there many times, and were not surprised at all. Only Yang Yang, next to the car window, kept his eyes on De Tok Most’s direction, and was very longing for it.
According to John Rep ’s introduction, Ajax ’s Amsterdam Arena is just east of Detok Most, with a walking distance of more than 500 meters. Although it is still relatively deserted around the stadium, I believe that with the flow of people on the stadium Driven by the development of the new southeast city, it will become the commercial core of southeast Amsterdam in the future.
The reason why Ajax chose to move here at home was for this purpose.
After three roundabouts, he finally arrived at Detok Most.
The first to enter the line of sight was 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 already parked.
After Yang Yang and the three people got off the bus, they couldn’t help but secretly see the scene in the parking lot.
This is the appeal of Ajax.
“Ha, John, it really is you.”
Just as Yang Yang and others took the luggage from the rear compartment and were about to enter Detok Most, a loud shout came from behind.
Everyone turned around and looked around, just to see a tall and fat Dutch middle-aged quickly catching up. He was also followed by several young players. The eyes of Yang Yang and others were full of hostility, obviously they were Came to participate in the selection.
“Hello, Hank, I’m so glad to see you here.”
John Rep looked at the person coming, and then inadvertently pouted, but quickly squeezed out his smile and shook hands with the Dutch middle-aged.
After the middle-aged fat man shook hands with John Rep and Dick Fanpoor, his eyes quickly fell on the three Almere players, especially the central Yang Yang, mainly because his dark hair and yellow skin were too conspicuous.
“He is Yang Yang?” Middle-aged fat man asked Yang Yang.
“Yes.” John Rep replied.
The middle-aged fat man looked at Yang Yang up and down unscrupulously, and tweeted twice regretfully, “too thin, such a body can’t play professional football.”
Yang Yang was a little dissatisfied, and looked up at the four players behind the middle-aged fat man, and found that they should be about the same age as each other, but each one was not small, and the worst were stronger than themselves.
“Cut, can you play good football if you are strong?” Genk Dimer replied in disapproval.
“Amateur football is certainly not needed, 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, but you want to enter the second team, even the first team, physical Conditions are options that must be considered. “
The speaker is a player in sportswear beside a middle-aged fat man. His age is similar to that of Yang Yang and others, but the tone of his speech is very proud. It seems that Yang Yang and others are not taken into consideration at all.
When Yang Yang looked at him, it was easy to see the contempt in his staring eyes.
What is the origin of this person?
The selection criteria for youth training have been controversial in recent years. Looking at the body or the technology has always been the focus of controversy in Dutch football. It is also difficult to judge which one is better.
Being choked in the face by the other party, Genk Dimelton was also upset and sneered: “Speaking as if you were in the Ajax youth team.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the middle-aged fat man laughed and pointed to the player who just spoke: “Don’t say that, Vicente is really in the Ajax youth camp. It took four or five years, until half a year ago, because of some objective factors, failed to pass the assessment, and then returned to our team. “
Genk Dimer heard his face suddenly change, embarrassed, he did not expect, choked with himself turned out to be an Ajax youth training player, and stayed for four or five years, this strength is absolutely not simple.
The middle-aged fat man obviously did not take Genk Dimer in his eyes, and his eyes still fell on Yang Yang, but found that the Chinese had heard that there were Ajax youth players in his players, and Unmoved, still a calm and humble calm, which made him angry for no reason.
“I have heard of you. They performed well in the amateur game, with fast speed and strong breakthrough ability, but they want to enter the youth training camp of Ajax. I’m afraid it’s not enough. In Detok Most, they are not just Only care about the performance on the field. “
“I know.” Yang Yang replied lightly.
He did know that both Radru and Arroyo and John Rep mentioned this to Yang Yang.
The excellent performance on the court can be caused by many reasons. For example, some players are relatively precocious and have excellent physical conditions. This is very dominant in the youth team or amateur games. However, when they reach the second team or even the first team, when he loses With these advantages, it was completely beaten back to its original shape.
As one of the clubs with the highest youth training level in the world, Ajax naturally has very high requirements for selection. This can be seen from the semester assessment of Almere, which is only the satellite club of Ajax. .
Yang Yang knew, but he answered so calmly. Instead, he made the middle-aged fat man do not know how to get down. Many of the original preparations had to be swallowed back into his stomach. After snorting coldly, he took Turn around and leave.
The player named Vicente stopped deliberately when he passed Yang Yang and looked at the Chinese in front of him provocatively, with jealousy in his eyes.
“Emanuelson ’s idiot is only a half-back left guard. Defensive is not his specialty. It ’s lucky to meet him, but in the afternoon match, you ’d better not meet me, otherwise … “
Before he finished speaking, Yang Yang had interrupted him with a smile. “If you say that, I hope to meet you even more.”
Vicente flashed his anger in his eyes, nodded his teeth at Yang Yang, and quickly caught up with his teammates.
Genk Dimer and Nick see Yang Yang choking each other, and they both feel relieved, aren’t they just a youth player eliminated by Ajax? As for looking down on people like this?
Although both of them admitted that even the eliminated players of Ajax’s youth training were better than them, they did have a despise of their capital, but they were ridiculed in this way, they still felt very angry, but they couldn’t choke on the face. It’s nothing.
On the other hand, John Rep glanced at Dick Fanpoor reluctantly, then turned to Yang Yang and smiled bitterly: “Sorry, it’s all because of me.”
Yang Yang froze, what does this have to do with John Rep?
