Chapter 18: AZ Alkmaar
Alkmaar, Netherlands, a small city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Walking through the streets of Alkmaar, Li Guo remembered what Chen An said to himself on the phone yesterday - "It's better for this kid to give up, the Football Association doesn't like him." ”
The kid that the Football Association doesn't like is called "Yin Di", and the attitude of the Football Association is just the opposite, Li Guo likes this kid very much.
This kid can be said to be a natural central defender talent, born in 1986 Yin Di, 1.89 meters tall, is now the main central defender at AZ Alkmaar, you know, in 2007, Alkmaar's head coach was still Van Gaal.
Lao Fan's vision in world football is second to none, that is, he discovered the later Spanish midfield master Xavi, and later in Bayern, it was he who unearthed a genius like Muller, not to mention at Manchester United, Rashford is Van Gaal's proud work, but that's all later.
Why doesn't the Football Association like such talents?
Very simply, last year, Yin Di publicly rejected the invitation of the Football Association, and everyone in the Chinese Football Association knows that it is not Liu Bei, who cares about talents. But Li Guo doesn't see it that way, real talents still need to look at the thatched house.
The winter in the Netherlands was very wet and cold, so Li Guo walked into a café, ordered a cup of coffee, and asked for a newspaper by the way.
habitually turning to the sports edition, there is no doubt, it is all news that the giants will burn money during the winter break, and there are also some lace news, such as England players going to a certain nightclub again, just when Li Guo was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
There was a Dutch beauty walking opposite, the average height of a Dutch woman is the first in the world, coupled with a pretty face, the Dutch woman also has a unique taste.
"Shall we make a bet?"
Li Guo raised his head and looked, and was accosted by a beautiful woman, Li Guo was not happy, because in recent years, in Europe, many locals have deceived Asians, maybe this one in front of him will stage the Dutch version of "Immortal Jump".
Li Guo smiled, lowered his head and continued his business, thinking, "You want to lie to me, hehe, you are still too tender." ”
Received a cold reception, the beauty was not discouraged, but made a more surprising move, she said directly in Chinese: "Shall we make a bet?" ”
Li Guo slowly raised his head, "Do you know Chinese?" ”
The beauty sat down in front of Li Guo by herself, "It's not uncommon to know Chinese now." ”
"Since you know Chinese, it's not surprising to know yourself, after all, everyone knows you in China."
"My name is Hilda," the beauty offered to say.
"Hmm,"
"It's hard to meet Chinese in a small town like Alkmaar, and it's even harder to meet celebrities from China," Hilda said.
"How many do you know?"
Hilda snapped her fingers and said, "Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and you, Li Guo." ”
"It seems that you like kung fu and football," Li Guo said with a smile.
Hilda smiled slightly, at this time Li Guocai openly admired the beauty in front of him, Hilda's height was at least 175, and her long hair like a waterfall hung down to her shoulders, and the whole person looked very sunny.
Li Guo clapped his hands, "Since you like football, then you must be a fan of AZ Alkmaar." ”
Hilda nodded.
Li Guo took out a photo, the person in the photo was Yin Di, Hilda looked at the big bald head on the photo, and smiled.
"We in the Netherlands like him a lot, and I heard that Marco is trying to recruit him for the national team,"
Li Guo knows that Marco in Hilda's mouth is the current head coach of the Dutch national team - Van Basten.
This is not surprising to Li Guo, after Stam retired, the Dutch team has not had a suitable central defender, like Yin Di, a good seedling, Van Basten is also a matter of course.
"No wonder this kid rejected the invitation of the Football Association, it turned out that he had already fallen in love with the Dutch team."
But if Chinese football wants to compete with Dutch football, it is no less difficult than the Dutch table tennis team and the Chinese table tennis team to grab people.
For a moment, Li Guo fell into deep thought.
After walking out of the café and saying goodbye to Hilda, Li Guo did not go back to the hotel, but went directly to Yin Di's home in Alkmaar.
This is an ordinary apartment, Yin Di's parents live in Amsterdam, and Yin Di usually lives alone.
When he came to the door of the apartment, Li Guo found that the security here was very strict, and he had to report his name, and the security guard and the resident could confirm before going upstairs.
"Li Guo, the head coach of the Chinese national team," Li Guo reported to his home.
A few minutes later, the security guard shook his head at Li Guo, "I'm sorry, the resident of 601D said he didn't know you,"
"Then report it a few more times until he knows him,"
The security guard was so embarrassed that he turned around and tried a few times, but the result was still the same.
Li Guo thought to himself: "Ruthless enough." ”
But Li Guo was even more ruthless, saying: "You just tell him that if he doesn't let me in today, I will immediately hold a global press conference in front of this apartment." ”
It worked, and soon, the security guard grinned and said, "Sir, you can go in." ”
*****
When he saw Yin Di, Li Guo's first impression was that this kid was really tall and strong, and if he didn't look at his face, he really looked like Stam.
"Why are you shaving your head, is your idol Stam?"
"No, it's troublesome to wash your hair, it's convenient to have a bald head,"
"Poof," Li Guo almost laughed.
Yin Di poured Li Guo a glass of water, and then said bluntly: "I have already decided, to play for the Dutch team." ”
In today's football, such a situation is commonplace, even if it is a top football power, it is also composed of many immigrants, it can be said that recruiting immigrants is not only not ashamed, but it is a popular trend in football, which seems to be very inclusive.
After Yin Di said this, his hands kept shaking, he knew that this was a major decision, he didn't know how Li Guo would react, would he scold him and say that he was ungrateful?
But I didn't expect Li Guo's reaction to be unexpected, "Is there tea?" ”
"What?"
Li Guo smiled and said, "Is there tea?" I don't know why, I suddenly want to drink tea,"
Yin Di was stunned and nodded, "Yes." ”
made tea for Li Guo, Yin Di peeked at Li Guo from time to time, he felt that Li Guo was unfathomable, if Li Guo scolded him, he was relieved, now like this, his heart is up and down, Li Guo is really a Tai Chi master.
After drinking tea, Li Guo spoke again, "Can we have a meal together?" ”
Yin Di wanted to refuse, but Li Guo preemptively said, "I'm in for a treat." ”
In this way, the two took to the street, came to a Chinese restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and Li Guo began to eat, while Yin Di seemed to have no appetite, and he never knew what Li Guo meant.
After eating, wiping his mouth, Li Guo looked out the window, and then pointed to the red lantern in the Chinese restaurant, "Look, what a beautiful lantern, do you think of anything?" ”
