Chapter 9: The Past!
"Are you so sure?"
Chen Fan's first impression of Thomson was not very good, and he even thought he was a liar. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thomson coughed twice and looked at the players of the Athletic Enough team with some arrogance.
Chen Fan frowned slightly and glanced at him.
Thomson immediately put away his arrogance, this little guy is really difficult to deal with, well, wait until I sign him, and then train him well.
For the sake of the future, temporary forbearance is nothing.
"Do you know who the other party's number nine is?"
The crowd shook their heads.
"He's a professional footballer whose name is Arkadius? Milik. ”
Everyone still shook their heads, they had never heard of this name.
Thomson sighed and said, "Well, you always know the name of Ajax." ”
Luis tilted his head and thought for a long time, but he didn't remember that Ajax had a player with this name, and said suspiciously: "Ajax hasn't heard of this person." ”
Thomson said with some embarrassment: "He is only sixteen years old, how can he be in the first team. He joined the youth team last month and will play in the Dutch second division next season. ”
"So he's a real professional and he's called Ajax's hopeful!"
Everyone nodded slightly, and suddenly realized that this was the case.
That guy is only sixteen years old, and he has such a level at the age of sixteen, which is really powerful.
Louis grabbed Chen Fan's shoulders tightly and whispered excitedly: "Little cheetah, you have blown up Ajax's star of hope today!" ”
Thomson nodded very seriously, looked at Chen Fan with burning eyes and said, "Although Arkadiush? Milik is not yet in the public eye, but he has already made a name for himself in Dutch football. ”
The Ajax Academy has been called the "cradle of stars". Since Milik is a leader in the Academy, he is certainly a future star, even a superstar.
"If you can blow him up, of course you can become a superstar!"
Bald Jack's eyes lit up, if Chen Fan becomes a superstar in the future, then the athletic team will definitely make a name for itself in the Amsterdam amateur football circle!
"Well, that Chen Fan, he used to be a player of our competitive team."
"yes, he was our teammate when he was very young."
Thinking of this, the faces of Chen Fan's teammates were filled with proud and satisfied smiles.
Bald Jack patted Chen Fan's shoulder vigorously and said: "Little cheetah, do a good job, strive to appear in the Dutch second division as soon as possible, we will definitely go to cheer you for every game." ”
Luiz nodded and said: "Then we will enter the first team, so we can cheer for you in the Eredivisie!" ”
Bald Jack looked at Thomson and said, "You want to let him into Ajax, that's my request." ”
Thomson didn't care if Bald Jack was qualified to make a request, nodded in agreement, and said affirmatively: "Can you finish Arkadiosh?" Milik, I'm sure I'll get him to Ajax! ”
……
After saying goodbye to his reluctant teammates, Chen Fan walked home and talked to Thomson.
"I think you're thinking too well, Ajax doesn't necessarily want me."
"Why? I showed them the video of your match today, what else do they have to say? ”
"Aren't they qualified to blow up the outstanding players in their academy?"
Chen Fan paused slightly, looked at Thomson who was full of confidence, and said: "When I was thirteen years old, I participated in the final of the Amsterdam secondary school football competition, and the coach of the Ajax junior team came to the scene to select the players. ”
Didn't you get chosen?
Thomson shrugged and comforted: "It doesn't matter if you don't choose, after all, they also have times when they are clumsy." ”
"No!" Chen Fan shook his head and said: "I performed very well in that competition, I was the top scorer of the tournament, and Ajax sent me an invitation at that time. ”
Once again, embarrassment appeared on Thomson's face, and he felt that he had been so embarrassed today.
"Then why didn't you go? Or were you eliminated later? ”
In order to avoid another embarrassment, Thomson chose two doubts, at least one of which could be hit.
Chen Fan's mood became a little depressed, and said: "When I was about to agree, an old guy came over and said to the coach of the Ajax junior team, this kid has nothing to do except be faster, if you choose him, it will be a complete waste of resources." ”
Thomson said indignantly: "Thirteen years old can judge life, judge a person's future? ”
"Also, isn't it an advantage to be fast? Speed is a talent, not something that can be trained by training! ”
"Look at the Welshman Bale, when he first played, he was said 'what else is this guy doing but speed?' As a result, after improving his skills, Bale is now the ironclad main force on the left side of the Tottenham team! ”
"Without speed, can Bell force overtaking?"
"Without speed, Bale's counterattack is so sharp?"
Thomson affirmed: "This old guy must not understand football!" ”
Chen Fan didn't know why Thomson was so excited, he looked at him in amazement and continued: "After hesitating for a moment, the coach of the Ajax junior team said to me, little guy, then, I have to give up on you. ”
Thomson said angrily, "Who is this old fellow? Ajax's top brass? Impossible, how could the club's hierarchy be in such a place, and how could they interfere with the selection of young players? ”
Chen Fan said lightly: "Later, I learned that his name was Michels. ”
"Michels?"
"Who is Michels? I haven't heard of such a number one in Ajax, is he some unknown but very good scout? ”
Thomson is showing his football agent's insight.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Is it him?" ”
Chen Fan nodded and said, "It's him!" ”
"How could he be on that occasion?"
"Invited by the organizing committee."
Thomson was silent, and Chen Fan smiled lightly and said, "You understand now, why I doubt that you can let me enter Ajax." ”
He touched the strap of his sports bag on his shoulder and whispered: "As I get older, even though I didn't make it to Ajax's junior team, my skills are improving rapidly. After all, I love football so much, even if I can't be a professional footballer, I still like the feeling of running around the pitch, it's a great feeling. ”
"Later, other clubs came to our school and were ready to invite me, but they all chose to give up in the end."
What the reason Chen Fan didn't say, Thomson could completely guess, and at the same time, he could understand Chen Fan's helplessness and sadness during those years.
Michels spent his playing career at Ajax FC and is a famous figure at Ajax and has a huge influence at Ajax.
Not only that, the creator of all-attack and all-defense, the meritorious coach who led the Dutch team to the final of the 74 World Cup, caused an orange storm all over the world, and the scenery is infinite!
The coach has a huge influence throughout the Netherlands.
Michels, who has a huge influence in Dutch football, cut off a teenager's football dream in one sentence.
No one wants to wrestle with Michels for a young man who is uncertain about his future.
This is a thankless act, if Chen Fan's performance is average in the future, some people will say: "Look, didn't Mr. Michels say it back then, that kid can't do it, you want to choose him, you are doubting Mr. Michels's vision?" ”
"Idiot!"
If Chen Fan behaves well, he is slapping Mr. Michels in the face, and offending Michels for the sake of a player, is it worth it?
This is an extremely risky thing to do.
