That night, Mourinho asked his assistant to find a Dutch sports newspaper, and he quickly found an introduction to the match between Ajax and Roda JC. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ten minutes later, Mourinho put down the newspaper and exhaled a long breath: "He actually changed to a striker last night and scored two goals!" ”

The Portuguese immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a call: "Neil, you go to the Netherlands tomorrow to get to know a young player from Ajax, his name is Chen Fan." ”

"Assess how much he's worth."

……

At Arsenal's training base in London, England, after training, the coach and Van Persie walked and chatted, and Wenger whispered: "Robin, ready to start again this weekend." ”

After playing two World Cup qualifiers, Robin van Persie returned to Arsenal and Arsene Wenger made him a substitute in last weekend's home game against Manchester City.

Van Persie nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Arsene Wenger casually asked: "I heard that you played well in both of your games and won both of them, how is your form?" ”

Van Persie pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, but there are no goals, two assists. ”

Truth be told, the Netherlands' two opponents, Ireland and Iceland, are not traditional powerhouses, and it is not very difficult for Van Persie to score.

Arsene Wenger reassured: "Two assists are not bad, how many goals did Robben score? ”

"Two."

"Oh...... You should have a lot of goalscorers, Sneijder should have scored, Heitinga has the ability to score goals...... It seems like anyone in the Netherlands has the ability to score goals. ”

Van Persie's face turned weird, and Wenger asked strangely: "Did I say it wrong?" ”

Van Persie nodded and said: "Coach, you are really wrong, only three people scored. We scored seven goals in two games, Chen scored four, Robben scored two and Sneijder scored one. ”

Arsene Wenger blurted out: "Who is Chen?" ”

Van Persie gave Wenger a detailed account of Chen's situation, and Wenger was very quiet during his introduction, not even interjecting to ask questions.

'That's the way it is, he's a versatile player, he's super goalscoring and to be honest I'm a little jealous of him, even though he's only eighteen and he doesn't have a reputation.

Wenger pondered for a long time before he said: "It turns out that you have another supernova in the Netherlands, and it seems that I need to learn more about this young man." ”

He looked up at Van Persie and said, "Thank you, Robin!" ”

Van Persie said: "Coach, you don't have to. I've heard that Bayern have noticed him early on and are said to have made an offer to Ajax, but Ajax didn't respond. ”

'If you want him to come to Arsenal, you have to do it early and ...... Be prepared for money. ”

"Ajax hasn't had any amazing young people in recent years, and they must be asking for a lot."

Van Persie knows that Arsene Wenger has always been stingy, but he has a good eye and has produced many young players, such as Cesc Fabregas, who he brought to Arsenal when the Spaniard was 16 years old.

Arsene Wenger said with a smile: "Although I am careful with my money, if he is really good, I don't mind spending a lot of money." ”

Van Persie asked curiously, "How much are you going to spend?" ”

Wenger thought for a while and said: "It should be less than 20 million, after all, Chen has just become a professional player, and he is seriously inexperienced, and he should have a lot of technical flaws, which will require me to spend a lot of time to polish." ”

Van Persie laughed softly, Wenger did not give him a "surprise", and was really stingy.

"Coach, I don't think you can buy Chen for 20 million."

Wenger said firmly: "If I give Ajax 20 million, they will definitely agree immediately, do you believe it or not?" ”

Van Persie shook his head with a smile and didn't speak, Wenger was a little unhappy in his heart, is there a problem with buying an eighteen-year-old young man for 20 million, and it is a big price to get it to the world!

"Could it be that he is worth more than Ronaldo back then?"

In August 1994, Ronaldo, who was about to turn 18, joined PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie for $6 million.

In 1994-95, in his first season with PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo scored 30 goals in 33 Eredivisie games and was the league's top scorer.

Although the Eredivisie title went to Ajax that season, Ronaldo helped PSV Eindhoven win the Dutch Cup.

In the 1995-96 season, Ronaldo scored 12 goals in 13 appearances for PSV Eindhoven before suffering his first serious knee injury. In February 1996, Ronaldo returned to the pitch.

During his time at PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo made a total of 46 appearances for the team, scoring 42 goals, and his high scoring rate made him one of the best goalscorers in the history of the Eredivisie.

In August 1996, Ronaldo, who was about to turn 20, transferred from PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie to La Liga side Barcelona for a transfer fee of $20 million.

Although more than ten years have passed, 20 million euros is not much, but after all, Chen Fan is only 18 years old, and Wenger believes that Ajax can definitely agree to this price.

Van Persie said: "Ronnie's legendary record in the Eredivisie is not necessarily unbreakable, and in my opinion, Chen has the potential to break his record. ”

Wenger raised his eyebrows and looked at the general beside him with some surprise.

Van Persie rarely says strong things in front of the media, and is also a quiet, low-key person in his usual life, it is the first time Wenger has heard Love praise a young player like this, and actually compare this young player to Ronaldo!

"Thank you!"

Arsene Wenger once again thanked Van Persie.

That night, after Wenger browsed the Eredivisie match news on the Internet, he immediately sent his most trusted scout to fly to Amsterdam the next day to thoroughly understand Chen Fan's situation.

Van Persie said that Chen Fan is a versatile player and has super scoring ability, and he doesn't care much about the latter, he cares more about the generalist.

Injuries are the biggest hidden danger of a team, and if Chen Fan can play multiple positions, it will give the coach multiple options, and there is a lack of such players in contemporary football.

Many players settle their positions as teenagers, coaches develop them according to their position, and very few move to other positions after entering the professional league.

Chen Fan played three different positions in seven Eredivisie games, and these three positions are actually three different lines, how difficult is this?

And he played in three different positions with a brilliant performance.

"I'm going to train him to be a true all-rounder!"

Arsene Wenger stood on the balcony with a cup of coffee and watched the beautiful London night view.

"Maybe Robin has a point, 20 million is not enough to impress Ajax, I have to budget for next season right away and see where I can save some money and who to sell?"

Wenger immediately got into action, returned to his study with his coffee cup in hand, and began to think about ......
