It's race day again.

Entering the sixth round of the knockout round, Almere showed amazing strength and attracted countless citizens to watch the game.

The match was against Ajax, and the whole of southern Amsterdam was very concerned, and many fan groups have booked places with Almere in advance, and the club has decided to hold it at home at short notice due to the large number of fans in the stadium.

The game was still played in the evening, and by nightfall, the stadium was already crowded.

As this is an amateur match, 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 even the aisles around the stands were crowded, and it was obvious that there were not only Almere and Ajax fans on the scene.

"Oh my boy, when has our stadium ever been so full?"

"That's natural, in the past, the game only sold grandstand tickets, not standing tickets, of course it won't be so full."

"Don't you lift the bar? We didn't even sit in the stands for the first team games. ”

"I'm afraid there are three or four thousand people, right?"

"There must be, the parking lot outside is full."

All the Almere players were taken aback by the enthusiasm of the fans, when did they feel such a battle?

Yang Yang was also shocked, but not like other teammates, he was more emotional, and even faintly excited in his heart, these three or four thousand stadiums have been able to form such a huge momentum, so what if it is in Ajax or Eindhoven, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people?

That hasn't been devoured yet?

Suddenly, Yang Yang had a desire to be like his idols Ronaldo and Van Basten, galloping in the stadium with tens of thousands of fans, not only for the fans on the scene to see him, but also to let more people see him and hear him through live TV and radio.

The thought of this made his whole body burn.

"I didn't see it, this kid was born to play games."

In front of the home team's coach's box, Dick Van Poel looked at the warm-up players on the field, pointed at Yang Yang and smiled.

The other players were more or less shocked by the momentum of the fans at the scene and became a little restrained, but Yang Yang seemed more excited, the warm-up training was meticulous, and he also practiced a few back and forth sprints and turnarounds, looking very scrappy.

John Repp also noticed Yang Yang's actions and nodded in praise: "Some people are born to live for the game. ”

Having a big heart that resists pressure is a basic condition for becoming a professional footballer.

John Repp used to just think that Yang Yang was very stubborn, and repeatedly rejected his kindness, even under the humiliation of his teammates, he never gave up, but he didn't expect that his ability to resist pressure was so good.

"This kid...... We can't keep it. John Rip said with regret.

If Yang Yang is here, Almere will be more sure of the Eredivisie, but now......

At that moment, at the entrance to the stadium's chairman's stand, René Telberg, the president of the club, greeted a group of guests.

A group of people did not go directly from the staircase stands, but came to the back of the home team's coach's box.

"Hi John."

John Rip heard the shouts behind him, turned around, and his face changed, and he greeted him with a smile of surprise.

"Hey, Tony."

John Repp shook hands vigorously with Ajax's chief scout Tony Browns Slotz across the bar.

"Oh, hello, Patrick."

"Hello, John."

"Ha, it's a pleasure to meet you, Luther."

"Me too, I've heard of it for a long time."

"Oh, old friend Fred."

"Haha, John."

When John Repp shook hands with Ajax's chief scout, two academy assistants and scouts one by one, and then saw the tall figure that turned out behind them, the whole person was stunned.

"Oh my God, Marco, why are you here?"

It turned out to be Marco Van Basten!

"Ha, I heard that there is a game to watch, of course I can't miss it."

The two shook hands vigorously across the iron fence.

John Repp suddenly remembered a previous report that Van Basten had already received his coaching certificate and would start coaching Ajax II this summer, officially stepping into the field of professional coaching.

Playing and teaching has always been a tradition in Dutch football.

With Luther Gullitt coaching the Dutch youth team this season, Van Basten coaching Ajax II, and Rijkaard, who coached the Dutch national team earlier and is now the head coach of Barcelona, the Dutch three musketeers who were famous in 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 were not teammates, but they were rivals.

Although he came through the Ajax academy, he moved through several teams on the continent before returning to the Netherlands to play for Zwolle and then to arch-rivals Feyenoord.

In his second season at Feyenoord, he teamed up with Ruud Gullit to lead Feyenoord to two league victories over Cruyff-led Ajax with Rijkaard, Van Basten and Ronald Koeman.

Van Basten, who was dressed in a straight suit and was tall, was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd, and was easily recognized by sharp-eyed fans.

It turned out to be Van Basten!

Who would have thought that Van Basten would be able to see Van Basten in the amateur arena!

The sound of the fans on the sidelines immediately attracted the attention of the players on the field, Yang Yang looked to the sidelines, and at first glance saw Van Basten who was talking eagerly to head coach John Repp on the sidelines, and he was stunned.

This is the idol he has been obsessed with for ten years!

How many times he dreamed of seeing Van Basten, he didn't expect to actually see him.

He felt his whole heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and suddenly, a voice in his head kept telling him that there was something he had to do, and that he would regret not doing it.

I saw Yang Yang wave his hand to his warm-up teammates, rushed to the sidelines, rushed to John Repp's side, looked at the idol in front of him in disbelief, and stretched out his right hand tremblingly.

"You...... Hello Marco, I'm ...... I ......"

His blushing expression made everyone around him laugh, but they all understood.

This is Van Basten, how many players have been their idols since childhood?

Don't talk about others, let's just say that the unruly Ibrahimovic in the first team, when he first saw Van Basten, his reaction was not much better than this Yang Yang, and he didn't even have Yang Yang's bravery, so he didn't dare to come forward to say hello.

Van Basten stood up straight, always with a broad smile on his face, stretched out his right hand, and shook Yang Yang's hand hard.

"I know you, Yang Yang, it's a great pleasure to meet you."

Holding Van Basten's thick and warm right hand, Yang Yang felt as if he was about to suffocate, and when he heard Van Basten's words, he actually had the urge to cry, he had always aimed at Van Basten as an idol, he dreamed of competing with Van Basten, but he didn't expect that Van Basten had also heard of him.

It was such a wonderful feeling, so wonderful that he almost cried.

"Let's take a picture." Fred Arroyo on the side suggested.

"Okay." Yang Yang was overjoyed, and immediately climbed over the iron fence and came to Van Basten's side.

The idol is only a little taller than Yang Yang, but it feels like he is extremely tall, like a majestic mountain standing in front of him, so that he has to look up.

John Repp and Dick Van Poel behind him glanced at each other, both shook their heads and smiled bitterly, Ajax is on the emotional offensive and wants to compete with PSV for Yang Yang.

But it's normal to think about it again, a player of Yang Yang's age, who doesn't be obsessed with idols?

Van Basten, Zidane, Ronaldo, Maradona......

The idea of having Van Basten come in person also shows Ajax's intentions.

So, John Repp and Dick Van Poel didn't break it, but went with the flow.

"Good performance, I want to see you do well."

Before Yang Yang returned to the court, 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 the Ajax players, but many people found it funny.

Is the reaction so big?

But yes, it's rare for others to meet Van Basten once, but Ajax's academy players are different, and they see them almost every day, so naturally it is not unusual.

An Ajax centre-back pointed to Yang Yang, who was walking back to the pitch to warm up, and reminded the black-skinned African-American player with the same long braids as Luther Gullitt beside him: "He is Almere's No. 9 Yang Yang." ”

"It doesn't seem to be very good, I'm quite thin." Players with long braids find it inconspicuous.

"In the last game against Almere, he scored a brace against Volendam, and I guess he is still the heart of Almere's attack in this game, so be careful on your side." The central defender cautioned.

"Hmph, of course, he's a right winger, I'm a left-back, so naturally you have to be careful, but don't you still have you behind me? Isn't that right, Thomas? The pigtailed player chuckled nonchalantly.

The central defender named Thomas shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless, he had already done his duty to remind.

"Anyway, be careful, don't let him into the restricted area easily."

"Don't worry, I'll push him to the side." The dreadlocked player's eyes were full of provocation when they looked at Yang Yang.

They know very well that Almere can enter the sixth round this season, and this player named Yang Yang is the key, not to mention shine, and has attracted the favor of many teams, and Ajax has dispatched the entire youth core management in this game.

Anyway, in front of the academy bosses, everyone doesn't want to mess up.

Once you've done well and you've got a ticket to the first team in minutes, who wouldn't do their best?

With the strength of Ajax, under the noses of many youth core executives, if they can't win the opponent, then what qualifications do they have to talk about entering the first team?

"I'll step you into the first team." The young man on the sidelines, who had just turned seventeen, looked at Yang Yang proudly and said.
