'Last night in the Almere fans, I saw Pete Deviser.

Chief scout Tony Browns Slotz frowned and reminded, "This is the second time Eindhoven has seen Yang Yang up close, and I suggest we should do it as soon as possible." ”

With Almere as a satellite club of Ajax and Yang Yang as a die-hard fan of Van Basten, there is no reason for Ajax to let the favourites go by, especially if they voted for their arch-rivals PSV Eindhoven.

If that's the case, then Ajax's face will be ruined.

"I also agree with Tony's statement that when Robben was in Groningen, we had the best chance, but it ended up being taken by PSV Eindhoven, and if we had taken Robben in time, the situation would have been completely different." Patrick Ladrew also responded.

Robben is one of the most eye-catching rookies in Dutch football in the past two or three years, and is known as the new Dutch trio along with Feyenoord's Van Persie and Ajax's Van der Vaart, but unlike Van Persie and Van der Vaart, who both played in the academy, Robben made his debut in Groningen in the north of the Netherlands.

Robben caused the competition of the three giants that year, but in the end it was PSV Eindhoven who took the lead, which made the Ajax team always regret, otherwise, with Robben and Van der Meyde on the wings, Ibrahimovic occupying the center, Van der Vaart dominating the midfield, Ajax's attack in the front will be invincible.

But it's a pity that Robben has now become PSV Eindhoven's leading star.

'I also think that Yang Yang does have the ability to play for Ajax and from what I have learned, he is clearly closer to us than other teams, after all, he has been at Almere for a year. Luther Carroll also took a stand.

Although nominally a satellite club, Almere is in fact part of the Ajax youth system.

Of course, this part is still very insignificant.

"How did he behave yesterday?" Van Gaal asked lightly.

Although he was very happy to see Yang Yang recognized by everyone, since it was a business matter, then he would do it and would not care about personal relationships.

'It was good, especially in the first half, to create a couple of threats, to score a goal, and to be able to pull a goal single-handedly with both Vermaelen and Emmanuelsen, which was not easy. Chief scout Slotz said.

"Last night, Aaron Moy's football online was also hotly discussing this game, and he also recognized his performance, this is the third consecutive issue, and it is estimated that there are many teams eyeing him now." Patrick Ladrew reminded.

Van Gaal continued to ask noncommittally: "What about his own attitude?" ”

'I don't know, but I think he'd love to join Ajax.'

"Why?"

"He came to the Netherlands a year ago, living at his uncle's house, his uncle runs a Chinese restaurant in Almere, and he himself is studying at Bakken Academy, if he joins us at Ajax, both life and education can remain the same, but when he goes to Eindhoven, everything is messed up."

When he said this, Patrick Ladrew suddenly smiled, "I specially learned from John Repp, it turns out that this kid is better at reading than playing, and he actually won the first place in the whole grade in the final assessment of Bakken School, and he also got a scholarship." ”

"Really?" Everyone present was surprised.

Even Louis van Gaal and Koeman were slightly moved.

In the Ajax academy, there are many players who play well and have good academics, but players who play well and have good academic performance are really rare.

I didn't expect this person named Yang Yang to be a scholar.

Van Gaal groaned for a moment and turned to look at Van Basten, "Marco, what do you think?" ”

Van Basten grinned and grinned, "I like that kid." ”

In a word, Van Basten's attitude is completely indicated.

Louis van Gaal then looked at first-team manager Ronald Koeman, who shrugged his shoulders and said he had no opinion.

Although he is the head coach who is also in charge of the academy, it is more for the sake of promoting youth talents, and Luther Carroll is in charge of more affairs, while Van Gaal, the technical director, is in charge of all the competitive affairs of Ajax.

In other words, the Dutch coach was everyone present, including Van Basten's immediate boss.

At the moment, his words can judge Ajax's choice.

Van Gaal did not rush to make a statement, but flipped through the scouting reports and materials on hand, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously also thinking and thinking, but soon, he put down the documents in his hand.

"Judging from the materials, he has already obtained a place for Almere to participate in the Talent Day, so my opinion is that we can talk to him first and stabilize him, but it is better to arrange for him to participate in the Talent Day selection, and then have a good and systematic close inspection, which is a rare opportunity to experience and exercise."

Ajax's Talent Day is held twice a year, with first-team players training and playing with all the players involved, and nearly a thousand young players from around Amsterdam, across the Netherlands and even around the world.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to recognize their own strength, and it is also a platform to broaden their horizons.

What's more, if a sixteen-year-old player like Yang Yang is directly signed into the team, he will generally skip the level to the seventeen or eighteen age group, and then slowly promote from the echelon, but if he is selected through the talent day, as long as he performs well, he has every chance to directly enter the second team, which is the team coached by Van Basten.

This can be regarded as a little selfishness shown by Van Gaal within the scope of the rules and power.

Van Gaal believes that whether it is from the perspective of the club's inspection of players, or from Yang Yang's own development considerations, participating in the Talent Day selection is a good choice and a good opportunity to experience.

After all, it's not a casual opportunity to play against first-team stars.

After listening to Van Gaal's words, everyone still felt that Van Gaal was acting out of caution and strict requirements, which was also very much in line with his usual style, so it was not surprising.

It doesn't matter if you participate in the Talent Day selection or not, the main thing is that there are competitors now.

"What if Eindhoven contacts him during this time?" Chief scout Slotz worried.

The reason why everyone is in a hurry to sign Yang Yang is also because of this consideration.

"He's a smart guy, he doesn't have many chances to go to Eindhoven at this time, and as you said, his uncle is in Almere, as long as we promise that after the talent day, regardless of the results, we are willing to sign him, then I believe he will not refuse."

After listening to it, everyone also felt that it was reasonable, and they were still very confident in their attraction to Ajax.

"Of course, just to be on the safe side, Patrick, you can make a trip to Almere yourself after the meeting."

Patrick Ladrew nodded in agreement, "I'll go to the Chinese restaurant and talk to his uncle first." ”

"If he's not in a Chinese restaurant, it's supposed to be at a skate park, you go there and find him, and by the way, tell him that it's my decision." Van Gaal said lightly.

Everyone was amazed when they heard this.

How does Van Gaal know where to look for him?

Did they know each other before?

So what exactly is their relationship?

Everyone was skeptical, but Van Gaal wouldn't say more, and there was no need for them to speculate.

…………

…………

Around noon, youth assistant Patrick Laderu, accompanied by scout Fred Arroyo, arrived at Shen Kee Chinese Restaurant in Almere, but Yang Yang was not there.

After an in-depth conversation with Yang Yang's uncle Shen Ming, they went to the skatepark under the guidance of Shen Yuzhu, and saw Yang Yang who had been practicing hard all morning in the core skateboarding area.

At this moment, Yang Yang has already completed the training project on the wall, and is in front of a yellow logo plate, with his left and right feet or pushing, pulling, picking or buckling, so that the ball moves around the small logo plate.

As Ajax's youth assistant and scout, Laderu and Arroyo naturally know very well that this is the most basic ball control action, but Yang Yang is repeating it over and over again, the expression on his face is very focused, and he doesn't notice their appearance on the periphery at all.

From his wet jersey, sweaty profusely, and the tattered wall in front of him, they could easily associate Yang Yang's training program here, and how hard the Chinese kid worked.

This came as a shock to both of them.

It was almost masochistic training, especially with this extremely boring basic training, and he was able to focus so much.

"How long has he been training like this?" Patrick Ladrew asked in a trembling voice.

"It's been three months." Shen Yuzhu was still a little distressed when he said it.

Parents regard Yang Yang as their son, and she also takes Yang Yang as her younger brother.

Radru and Arroyo glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, obviously they both thought of the same thing, that is, Yang Yang's rapid rise from Almere began three months ago, and after that, he seemed to soar into the sky, surprised everyone, and improved in almost every game.

After everyone boiled it down, they all suspected that he had suddenly opened his mind and understood the game, combined with Yang Yang's poor basic skills, the big guys also felt reasonable, but now it seems that the secret of his ascension is not hidden in this skatepark?

Van Gaal must have known this, which is why he told them to come to the skate park if they couldn't find anyone in a Chinese restaurant.

But what is the relationship between him and Yang Yang? How did they meet?

"It seems that we still underestimated him." Patrick Ladrew shook his head.

Fred Arroyo also thought so, they did underestimate Yang Yang.

This is not to underestimate Yang Yang's current strength, but to underestimate Yang Yang as a person and his future possibilities.

God knows how far he can go in the future with his almost masochistic hard work, with the kind of progress he is currently showing?
