Chapter 317: He Actually Refused?
After watching so many games, Van Tenberg knows that Ding Hongxing is a real genius, even if there is no young player in the current Ajax academy who can match Ding Hongxing, if he can't bring Ding Hongxing to Ajax, he will really regret it for the rest of his life!
After the first game, Van Tenberg sent the video of Ding Hongxing's game back to the Ajax club, and made several consecutive phone calls to the club across the ocean, recommending Ding Hongxing, and he used some adjectives that he had never used since he became a scout to describe Ding Hongxing, "incomparable", "genius", "will become the core of the team in the future", "can make Ajax glorious for at least another ten years"......
Ajax had a glorious time in the seventies and eighties, including winning the European Champions Cup, the League Cup, and the Cup Winners' Cup, but since the nineties, money has gradually become the main theme of European football, and the Ajax club without strong capital support is also gradually declining.
Van Tenberg is a good scout, but he is not very regarded at Ajax because he is in charge of the East Asia zone, which provides almost zero good seedlings for Ajax's academy, and there are no players from East Asia in the Ajax first team.
Although Van Tenberg was not taken seriously by the club, several consecutive phone calls across the ocean, and his strong recommendation finally made Ajax Club give Ding Hongxing a chance to try.
Van Tenberg excitedly said to Ding Hongxing: "Ajax is a great club with a glorious history, you should know that there are not many teams that have won the three major European cups. Now, the club has given you a tryout, all the costs are covered by the club, and this is a good opportunity, with your skills, as long as you go to the trial, you will definitely be selected, and you will definitely be in the first team right away. Isn't your dream to be a player like Gullit? I can guarantee that as long as you go to Ajax, in a few years you will be the next Luther. Gullit! ”
Van Tengberg's words did not make Ding Hongxing excited, but made Yang Tianxiong and Song Shihong excited. Gullit, my dear!
Those years were the most glorious time for the Dutch Three Musketeers, and there were not a few Chinese fans who admired them, although Basten had been seriously injured, but Gullit was still active on the field, this is a world-class star, if Ding Hongxing can also become such a world-class star, don't they also have face?
Yang Tianxiong looked at Ding Hongxing excitedly, which meant urging him to agree quickly, Song Shihong's personality was more serious, and he asked Xia Yang: "What is this Mr. Fan is really from Ajax?" It can't be a liar, right? ”
Xia Yang nodded and said: "He is really a scout of the Ajax club, I am the translator they hired, if you have any doubts, you can also ask the Ajax club for verification." ”
Song Shihong nodded and said, "We will verify it." ”
Several people looked at Ding Hongxing, waiting for his decision.
Ding Hongxing pondered for a moment and then said, "Mr. Van Tengberg, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Thank you very much for taking a heavy impression of me! I can't accept your invitation though! ”
Ding Hongxing's words made several people present stupid, he actually refused? This is an invitation from Ajax!
Van Tengberg listened to Ding Hongxing's words translated by Xia Yang, his face was incredible, he didn't expect Ding Hongxing to reject him so straightforwardly, he originally thought that this invitation would be very smooth. Ding Hongxing is different from other Chinese players, he is not trained by any club, nor is he a subordinate athlete of any sports committee, he inquired very clearly, that is to say, Ding Hongxing is a completely free agent, he is still only a middle school student, Van Tengberg thought that it would be easy to deal with him, and there was no need to talk to any club or official organization, this should be a relaxed and pleasant experience!
Van Tengberg said with some excitement: "Mr. Ding Hongxing, why did you refuse?" I extend my most sincere invitation to you! As a scout with more than 20 years of experience, I think your future is very bright, and I say you can be the next Luther. Gullit, in fact, is still on the conservative side. Gullit has played for Ajax, I think, your talent is much better than his, Gullit is not as good as you at your age, his physicality and ball nature are not as good as yours, and your appearance on the pitch is far more comprehensive than him! You should have heard of the youth level of the Ajax club, even in the whole of Europe, it is also among the top, with your talent, as long as you train at Ajax for a few years, your achievements may surpass Gullit! If you continue to stay in China and receive this kind of amateur level of training, your talent will be wasted, and this waste is a crime! ”
The more Van Tengberg spoke, the more excited he became, and when he said the last sentence, he even waved his arms, and his violent range of movements made everyone sitting in the café look at him in surprise.
Xia Yang was simultaneously translating Van Tengberg's words, and after translating, his tone became a little excited, as a Chinese, of course, he also hopes that a world-class superstar can appear in China, these days, he also sees Ding Hongxing's table, and Van Tengberg's attention to Ding Hongxing, he really hopes that Ding Hongxing can agree to Van Tengberg's invitation and land on Ajax.
Van Tengberg's excitement made Ding Hongxing also a little moved, he could see that Van Tengberg is a person who really loves football, and his excitement has a big component of not wanting to waste his talent.
At this time in China, the professionalism is indeed too low, in the training of young players, and the training conditions are very different from the Ajax club, if it is other talented young players, staying in the country is really likely to waste their talent, such cases are not uncommon, but Ding Hongxing is different, in the virtual scene that his brain Xiaobao comes with, no matter how advanced the training environment, no matter how good the coach and sparring can be simulated, Ding Hongxing does not need to worry about this problem at all, And he still has a lot to do at home, he can't play abroad now, and in his plan, it should be a few years away.
