Zhang Jun looked at this partner who grew up together and asked, "Yang Pan, you say, was my original choice wrong?" ”

Yang Pan sat on the bed with his back to Zhang Jun: "Zhang Jun, in fact, I can't do well in that way of passing and receiving the ball in the afternoon." Maybe only Kaka has that ability. Then he turned his head, looked at Zhang Jun and said, "So don't be discouraged, we are not professional players now, and even professional players may not be able to do that two touches." We still have time, wait for the next time, and surprise the coach! Also, we have already chosen this path, so don't regret the original choice, regret is useless. Just follow this path all the way. Life is not a game, you can save it and start over. Don't think too much, the teacher is coming for a while, the mood is not good, but you can't learn, the most important thing for us now is the language problem, and you can't be distracted in class! ”

"Can't even you?" Zhang Jun was still surprised by Yang Pan's first sentence.

"Fool!" Yang Pan smiled and got up to get his Dutch textbook.

"I thought I was the worst...... Zhang Jun scratched his head.

The book in Yang Panyang's hand: "Stupid! If you are the worst, then what are the people who have been defeated by you? Liu Peng, Yuan Gang, Sima Hongxin...... What are these people? Don't be presumptuous, know that if you are presumptuous, you will implicate a large group of people! ”

Zhang Jun also smiled: "That's right, hehe!" I almost forgot about them! ”

Mr. Wang, who had been eavesdropping at the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his waist, and tiptoed downstairs.

Since then, the goalkeeper of the Warrendam training base, Old Man Thatch, can always see the two teenagers from China running on the field long after the youth team has finished training, passing the ball to each other. Mr. Wang, the translator, stood aside, without the slightest hint of impatience. Even on weekend breaks, the two youngsters come to the club's gym for some strength training.

Don't they rest? Aren't they dating? This old man, who has guarded the team's training base for twenty years, really doesn't understand the Chinese.

While Zhang Jun and Yang Pan were still strengthening their strength in the youth team, the 2002-2003 season of the Dutch Premier League had already begun.

Although the Dutch league can only be regarded as a second-rate league in Europe, it does not prevent the production of excellent young players here, such as Davids, Kluivert, Vannis Telrooij, ...... Now these famous stars in international football have grown up and become famous from this land. Therefore, although it is only a second-rate league, there is no shortage of attention from the giants and the five major leagues. Almost as soon as a new star emerges, it will be chased by several giants, and this is the unique charm of the Eredivisie.

The Dutch Premier League is basically a three-legged situation, with Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord not only in the Netherlands but also in European football. Ajax has won the European Cup four times in their history; Feyenoord have just won last season's UEFA Cup; PSV Eindhoven are not as well-known as Ajax in Europe, but they are an expert on civil wars, having won the league title 27 times in their history, and in recent years, they have suppressed Ajax in the domestic league. The annual Dutch Super League championship is basically fought for in these three teams, and the other teams are basically supporting roles.

And Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's Warrendam is an out-and-out middle and lower team. Founded in 1920, it has been ranked in the middle of the top league of Dutch football at that time in the tenth decade of the last century, with the best result being sixth in the league. Last season, he was promoted to the Dutch Super League through the play-offs, and there are no famous players at present, the only characteristic is that the players are relatively young, relying on a group of young players who were "born in the eighties" to play the world. Historically, Dutch football coach Ben Hack has coached here, and this year, it is the turn of another coach.

However, although Adrianse is a famous coach, the goal of such a team can only be relegation.

In the first round of the league, Warrendam lost 0:2 away to (feyenoord), ushering in the start of the league.

In the second round, the home team was held to a 0-0 draw by The Hague (Denhaag).

In the third round, they played fiercely with Feyenoord Utrecht (Fcutrecht) for 90 minutes, and were penetrated by the opponent in the last minute and lost 0:1.

After three rounds of league games, Warrendam is second to last with three games, two losses and one draw.

Conceding three goals in three rounds, an average of one per game, is already a good figure for a promoted team that is aiming for relegation this season, but the biggest headache for Adrianse is still the striker problem. Counting the warm-up games, a total of five games, zero goals for the strikers, it is really unreasonable, he changed four striker combinations, and even transferred the midfielders to the striker, but this is not a long-term solution after all. Adrianse has seen a dangerous wave coming his way, and the warm-up game against Willem II has provided a reference for all the super teams, and it is actually very simple to win against Warrendam, and if they kill their attacking attack, Bayers, the attacking core, Warrendam will not be able to sing, and in the case of poor attack, the defense will be under extremely strong pressure. Judging from these three league games, Warrendam's defense has performed quite well. At least in the game against Utrecht, they persevered until the end before conceding a goal.

In the First Division, Warrendam qualified for the play-offs by defending, and in the play-offs, he also relied on tenacious defense to rise to the top. But the Super League is clearly a different level.

Adrianse developed the 532 defensive counterattack style according to the characteristics of Volendham, this tactic requires the two forwards to have outstanding individual ability, fast speed, good technique, and can seize a small number of counterattack opportunities to give the opponent a fatal blow. It's a pity that there is no such striker at the moment.

With a weak forward line, the threat at the back naturally increases. Therefore, the root of the team's current predicament is the forward line. The 1.3 million euros given by the club have all been spent on the back, and the only new strikers are the two Chinese teenagers who are still training in the youth team, and it has been almost a month, and I don't know how they have improved. I've been so caught up in the team's results lately that I don't have time to look at the bottom at all.

Adrianse decided to take advantage of the first team's break tomorrow to check on the youth team.

Les could see the changes in Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, especially Zhang Jun, since he was scolded by him fiercely that time, he usually meticulously executed every command in training, and then practiced for himself every day. With the physical and mental foundations already laid, their progress is absolutely high in the youth team. At this rate, perhaps it won't take the original two months for him to send the two to the first team to receive tactical awareness and professional training. He's already finished his own 100 meters, and it's time to hand over the baton to his old friend.

It was at this time that Adrianse called Rice's office and told him to come down tomorrow. So Rice began to think about how to surprise this old friend.

Yang Pan and Zhang Jun also took Uncle Wang's car to the training ground as usual, but found something unusual. The youth team members are actively warming up. Uncle Wang also felt a little strange, he looked at his watch: "I'm not late!" ”

The sharp-eyed Yang Pan pulled Zhang Jun's clothes and quietly pointed to the tall man who was standing on the sidelines and laughing with Rice: "It's Adrianse!" ”

The first-team manager is here and it's no wonder everyone is so excited. He must have come to the youth team to pick players to play in the first line, if you can perform well in front of him, enter the first team, and become a professional player, it will be a dream come true.

Today's training should be said to be a draft meeting, which is more appropriate.

After two jogging laps with the rest of the team, Rice ordered a concentration and then announced what was going to be done next: "Except for the two goalkeepers, everyone works in pairs, and I will appoint a partner, and then ...... on that field," he said, pointing to a piece of the training ground that is about a quarter of the regular field surrounded by white lines, "and a two-on-two offensive and defensive confrontation." A goalkeeper will guard a goal for both sides, with the attacking team advancing from the start line towards the goal and the defending team defending them. The confrontation between the two groups is played in five rounds, and the best-of-five system is implemented, with the winner advancing to the next round and the loser being eliminated. Requirements: The defender has no requirements, as long as they can successfully stop the attacker without fouling. However, the attacking team must advance by passing the ball to each other, and each person can only touch the ball twice, once to receive the ball, and once to pass the ball. If the ball is touched three times, it will be awarded a losing inning, and the ball will be handed over to the defending room, and the attacking team will be responsible for defending. If the attacker's shot is saved by the goalkeeper and the defending team is the first to grab the ball, the defending team wins. If the shot goes out of bounds, the attacker will also lose a game, do you understand? ”

Almost everyone looked at each other, and there was nothing wrong with the coach's expression, but they didn't understand why the coach arranged such a confrontation. Only Yang Pan and Zhang Jun glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise on each other's faces, but they didn't expect it to be such a test, it's like God helping me! But then they began to worry that the two would be placed in different groups. However, Rice immediately dispelled their concerns, and with a finger of his hand, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan were placed in a group.

Adrian watched with interest as Rice divided the players into groups. He understands Rice's good intentions, the team is currently most lacking in strikers, and the rules formulated by Rice are obviously beneficial to the defenders, saying that the two sides have offense and defense against each other, but in fact, they focus on the forwards. Under such demanding conditions, the talent who can win can surprise people in the Super League.

The confrontation began quickly, and due to the small size of the field and the small number of people, the game went quite quickly. The 24 people were divided into 12 groups and played against each other. People are not comfortable with this harsh rule, so the result is predictable, in the first five games, all the first team to defend wins, because the first team to attack always give away three games because of their own mistakes in possession. The eliminated players were unconvinced, but Rice didn't care about their feelings at this time, because it was all arranged for those two people, and it wasn't a fair game. Hopefully those two won't let me down. Rice said in his heart.

Zhang Jun and Yang Pan stood in front of the ball, and everyone knew what it meant for the head coach of the first team to come to the youth team. Today's game is the first crucial battle for their future. The two glanced at each other without a trace of hesitation or fear, after all, the two of them had never lost a game together.

The assistant coach blew the whistle. Zhang Jun gently rubbed the ball forward, and then knocked it to Yang Pan on the right, and he rushed forward quickly.

Yang Pan stopped the ball forward, and the opponent immediately pounced violently. If you want to get a point as soon as you come up, the first five games have won and the first defense team has won and advanced, and they want to be in the sixth group.

But Yang Pan was a little faster than him, and with a poke of his toes, the ball passed between the opponent's legs and passed to Zhang Jun. After passing the ball, Yang Pan accelerated and left the opponent who was still stunned. Yang Pan's speed has been well played, when Zhang Jun touched the ball for the first time to catch the ball, Yang Pan had rushed to a parallel position with him, the opponent's second player stepped forward to block Zhang Jun's passing route, but Zhang Jun did not repeat the situation of the last battle with Rice, he rubbed the inside of his left foot, and the football just bypassed the opponent's outstretched toes and passed to Yang Pan's feet!

Adrianse exclaimed softly: "Beautiful! Rice just smiled and continued to focus on the field.

Yang Pan stopped the ball and passed the ball to the left front again, Zhang Jun really appeared in this position, he stopped the ball, and passed it to Yang Pan, who had already stepped forward. At this time, the two defenders could no longer keep up with the speed of the two, and their passing and receiving were too smooth! Now, all they have to do is pass each other forward and choose the right time to shoot.

The goalkeeper looked nervously at Zhang and Yang, who were passing the ball to each other, not knowing who would shoot in the end. In fact, after so many days of training together, he knows that Yang Pan's shooting is based on strength, no matter where he is, he rounds his thighs and volleys, while Zhang Jun is good at angles. Two people, no matter whose shot it is, are very difficult to deal with.

Yang Pan received the ball again and passed the ball horizontally to the goal, Zhang Jun ran to meet the ball, and then grabbed the ball in front of the goalkeeper and bounced the ball into the goal with the arch of his left foot!

There was a burst of admiration from the sidelines, it was the first goal of the attacker, the first win!

Adrianse looked surprised and turned his head to look at Rice, but Rice just smiled and pointed to the field: "Keep watching!" ”

Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, who defended, easily forced the opponent to fail to touch the ball three times and led 2:0.

It was Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's turn to attack again, and the two once again defeated the defender with non-stop passes, ending the battle 3:0 early and advancing to the next round.

In the second round, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan lost a game due to active mistakes, but still defeated their opponents 3:1 to advance to the final round-robin.

The last three teams play a single round-robin, with the winner worth 3 points, the loser worth 0 points, and the last team with the highest score wins the championship of this confrontation. As for what the championship reward is, look at Adrianse, who is standing on the sidelines and engrossed, everyone knows it.

With the lessons learned from the first two rounds, Zhang Jun and his opponents became more ferocious, including some foul-like flying tackles and hand pulls. After all, those who win can enter the first team, which is related to their own personal interests and future, and everyone has put aside the usual team-mate friendship, besides, the two Chinese who have only trained together for a month have little friendship with them.

Fearing the players - Rice, who was actually afraid of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan being injured, had to use the coach's power to temporarily change the rules: anyone who commits a foul will be awarded a penalty. In this way, the increasingly intense scene was stopped.

However, in this way, no one can stop Zhang Jun and Yang from climbing to the top. They relied on tacit cooperation and hard training to win both battles and win the championship of this small confrontation.

When the game was over, Rice announced that today's training was over and everyone could go home, but Zhang Jun and Yang Pan had to stay.

Everyone knew what was going on, and now there was nothing to do with themselves, so they had to watch with great envy as the two Chinese walked towards the first team manager, and then left helplessly. At the same time, I secretly vowed in my heart that I must master this pass and catch well.

When only Rice, Adrianse, Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and their interpreter Wang Bo were left in the training ground, Rice pointed to Adrianse beside him: "This is the manager of the first team, he wants to meet you. ”
