Chapter 25 Gambling
'This is the manager of the first team and he wants to see you. Rice pointed to Adrianse, who was beside him.
Zhang Jun and Yang Pan weren't too excited, because they knew that this day was coming sooner or later, and they knew it when they practiced on the training ground without rest. They just politely asked Mr. Adrianse. However, the translator Wang Bo was a little excited, he didn't know that in a small hotel room in Eindhoven, Adrianse's promise to Zhang Jun and Yang Pan was made. He just thought that the efforts of the two children had finally paid off, and they were getting closer and closer to their dreams.
Adrianse's conversation with Zhang Jun and Yang Pan is still being speculated in the Chinese media a few years later, and all kinds of scenarios are imagined to prove that the superstar of the future has the air of a king from the start. However, they all guessed wrong.
Adrianse looked at the two Chinese teenagers with satisfaction, just as they had done when they first came to the club a month earlier. He smiled and then said: "You two will start training with the first team tomorrow and the club will prepare a new contract for you." ”
With only this sentence, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan began their professional careers.
Then Adrianse looked at Rice: "Is there anything else you want to say to them?" From tomorrow onwards, they'll be mine, ho-ho, it's going to be a little hard for you to see them again! ”
Les smiled and said to the two: "Actually, there is nothing more to say, everything I can teach you will be taught to you within this month." Although they are all foundations, you have to remember that all beautiful movements, good consciousness, are built on a solid foundation. Don't underestimate these basic movements. I understand the frustration of being away from home, but don't always whisper to the two of you, the most important thing in the game is to communicate, you still have too little to say to other people, it's not good to go on like this. Other...... Zhang Jun? ”
Zhang Jun looked at Rice.
"I know you're still angry at me for being angry at you, aren't you?" Les smiled and pointed at Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun hurriedly blushed and shook his head.
"Ho-ho, I can understand your feelings, I was really excited that day. I'm a person who takes basic training very seriously, you can tell from my training schedule. You've only been under me for a short month, it's a shame! If you've been training with me since you were 10 years old, I've been repeating ground passes every day for three years! ”
Looking at Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's surprised expressions, Les laughed proudly: "Haha! It's true! You can ask your head coach later. When we were still in Ajax. That's how I coach the little players, don't underestimate these very ordinary movements, the speed, power and quality of the ball will have a direct impact on the next move of your teammates. It's the same with receiving the ball, as a center forward, in the tight space of the penalty area, even if you only stop for a centimeter, the result of the final shot will be very different. If you stick to the seemingly boring training now, you will benefit a lot from the future competitions. ”
Finally, Les patted the two of them on the shoulder, looked a little reluctant and said, "Good luck to you!" ”
Although it was only a short month, Rice was the first teacher of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in their professional football careers, and it had a profound impact on their future development. Of course, it is impossible for them to know so much at the moment. They just thought that this old man was not bad, quite sincere.
After thanking Les and Adrianse, the three of them left the training ground.
"Actually, there's nothing to say, but you talk the most......" Adrianse said, looking at the backs of the three people.
"Time is too short, no way!" Les sighed, "I'm telling the truth, if they train under me for three to five years...... I can guarantee that they are definitely a lot better than they are now, a month...... Although they are also very good, there are still many unnecessary detours...... John, are you going to call them back to the youth team anymore? As long as it's a year, a year will do, I promise ......"
Adrianse shrugged and interrupted Rice: "I can't help it, I know it's not right, it's not the perfect thing to do." But the pressure on the top is not small, there are two more rounds to play with PSV Eindhoven, and if you lose, you and I will have to pack up and get out! I'm sure you don't want to see this day coming, right? ”
Les was silent for a while: "I really don't want to." But...... For your own sake, use your child's future to ......"
"No, it's just a gamble, they're the same bettor as we are, and they're betting on the same variant, and if they win, we're all happy. If you lose......" Adrianse shrugged, "Everyone's finished!" ”
Les glanced at him, "However, we are all old, and we can't make such a big bet, right?" But they're still young......"
Adrianse suddenly fell silent, the old friend was right. But, now that he is now, do they all have a way out?
Rice continued: "Forget it, now that we've placed our bets, we can only wait quietly for the dice to be rolled. ”
Life is a continuous super gamble, who dares to guarantee that they can win every game?
Rice shook his head, and Adrianse shook his head as well.
For the matter of entering the first team, Wang Bo was even happier than the two parties, he deliberately pulled Zhang Jun and Yang Pan to his restaurant and announced to everyone that the two teenagers were already professional players! Although they haven't officially signed the contract yet, everyone came to congratulate them, whether it was the guests who ate here, or the waiters in the restaurant hugged Zhang Jun in a language that the two of them understood and didn't understand. And Uncle Wang personally cooked and cooked a sumptuous dinner for the two, all of which were hometown dishes that they had not eaten for a long time.
Chewing the oily back pot meat, Zhang Jun actually felt that his eyes were a little moist, he ate a "nutritious meal" for nearly a month, trained hard every day, and used all his rest time to practice, and he also had to learn Dutch at night...... Now I have finally taken another step towards my dream!
Yang Pan didn't gobble up those "nutritious meals" like he usually did, but chewed slowly like Zhang Jun, perhaps, their thoughts were the same at this time.
A month is short, but it is the first step in their professional football career, solid and powerful.
The two of them only tasted a little bit of each of this sumptuous meal, and then they agreed to euphemistically hope to eat that unpalatable "nutritious meal", because they are about to become professional players, and they have to be strict with themselves. Moreover, they all remembered the look on Rice's face when he patted him on the shoulder and said "good luck".
Uncle Wang was stunned, then half apologized, and generally went to get a "special meal for professional players" for them.
After eating, the two wanted to call home to report the good news, but they hadn't called home for a while. But when Zhang Jun picked up the microphone, he suddenly remembered that this was the Netherlands, not Hefei, and there was a time difference of six between the two countries. As soon as he thought of the jet lag, the disappointment on Zhang Jun's face became more and more obvious, because he still wanted to tell Sophie the good news, and he didn't know how happy she would be on the other end of the phone...... Zhang Jun realized that the Netherlands and China are not only separated by geographical distance, but also by a time difference of six hours, which is an unbridgeable distance......
Damn jet lag! He scolded fiercely in his heart.
With only one point in three league games, one winless and no goal scored, the mood of the players is generally not high, and there is a lot less young laughter than before the season. Even the team's pistachio Ouichou has not joked for a long time, he is the striker of the team, but he has not scored a goal in the first few games, and he has lived up to everyone's expectations of him.
The training ground looked lifeless, and everyone was not in a good mood. The head coach didn't come, assistant coach Stehl was leading everyone in training, but the players looked absent-minded.
In fact, two losses and one draw in three rounds of league games are not the worst. But the problem is that the last two games have lost to teams of the same level, and the game against Utrecht has been even more aggrieved, and the whole game was pressed and beaten by others, because the front line was not strong, and the winning goal was scored in the last minute and lost the game.
Despite Kozel and the efforts, despite the efforts of Louis Rink, despite the efforts of Bayes and Hervel, the efforts of the individual could not be translated into effective results, and were still useless. It's not the responsibility of any one person to fail, but it's a really hard feeling for a young person to see a team lose and be helpless.
Adrianse took the two Chinese teenagers out of his office and led them to the first-team training ground. A new contract has just been signed for a period of two years and a weekly salary of 1,100 euros. Both were satisfied with the contract and signed their names without saying anything.
Adrianse walked while briefly introducing them to the teammates they were about to meet, nothing else, and the coach introduced it very simply, mainly because the names made Zhang Jun and Yang Pan take some time to remember.
Entering the training ground, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan saw many teammates, most of them listless, and they didn't pay much attention to their arrival. It seems that the coach is right, the current record is not good, and the blow to these young players is not small.
Adrianse also seemed a little helpless about the current situation, he looked at everyone, and then motioned to Stehr to stop training, he had something to announce.
At this time, the players found that there were two strangers around the coach, and they were a little puzzled.
When everyone stopped and looked at the two Orientals beside him, Adrianse introduced Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in a very casual tone, he didn't want to make the scene too serious and add unnecessary pressure to the two, so he didn't even ask everyone to stand in line.
"Okay, now I'll introduce you to two new teammates - this is Zhang Jun and this is Yang Pan, they are working as forwards and will become everyone's teammates in the future."
Adrianse could see a sense of distrust in everyone's eyes, especially Ochu, when he heard the words "Duty Striker", his body trembled slightly, and his face became a little pale.
Zhang Jun didn't see it, and greeted everyone in his stammering Dutch, but no one paid attention to him, and he realized something. And Yang Pan has been watching from the sidelines, he is observing everyone's expressions.
Adrianse knew that if he was simply introduced to them like this, they would not be convinced, and there was no way to cooperate in the future. It seems that they have to build mutual trust when they meet, because they will have to fight side by side for a long time.
He looked at Stehl, then at the two Chinese teenagers beside him, and then said to the players in front of him: "This morning's training, the rest will not be carried out, let's have a small field match." ”
