Chapter 43: The Old Land
Marco Van Basten, who was responsible for completely ending the game in the "Dutch Three Musketeers" that swept Europe that year, is the idol and role model or goal of countless professional strikers, and he is standing in front of He Xu at this moment. Let He Xu look himself up and down with unscrupulous eyes.
When He Xu retracted his gaze and was about to bow to Van Basten very politely, Van Basten took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Hello! A lad from China. ”
He Xu was stunned, he couldn't imagine that this once world-renowned superstar, who later had a much brilliant coaching career, would actually take the initiative to reach out to him. When I was a movie star, there were not a few novices who ate their own white eyes.
But for Basten's overture, He Xu did not show surprise, he was as indifferent as ever, and stretched out his hand to shake Basten.
Van Basten's slender hands were steady and dry, and after holding them, He Xu inexplicably thought of Li ** in the martial arts novel "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" that he had read, but Li ** used his hands and flying knives to take people's lives. All Basten needs on the pitch is his feet.
Liang Yuan saw that the atmosphere of the two meeting was somewhat awkward, and he had to open his mouth to start a round.
"He Xu, don't you always say that Marco is an excellent striker? Do you have any questions for him? Liang Yuan communicated with He Xu in Chinese.
He Xu actually shook his head, and he said in English: "I think compared to Marko, what I lack is experience, and experience is not something that can be obtained by asking for advice." ”
Basten smiled a little surprised, I didn't expect this kid to put himself and me on the same level so openly, it seems to be very confident!
Still smiling, Van Basten said the second sentence after seeing He Xu, "No, in fact, I think that if you have the same experience, you will be better than me, and your talent is secretly envied by me." ”
He Xu, who has always wanted to make himself look low-key, has a feeling of fluttering at this time, this is Basten! The ballet prince on the court, recognized as the most outstanding No. 9 in the world.
Ah, I've always forgotten to say that He Xu's favorite number is No. 9, and a large part of his favorite players are No. 9 players. is like Da Luo, as well as Kluivert, and the three-time Golden Globe winner in front of him, who retired due to injury at the age of twenty-eight.
After Basten said this, he didn't give He Xu much time to be happy and complacent, so he continued, "Although I can't guarantee that I will really teach you experience, I can still teach you some small skills and some precautions for forwards on the court, as long as you want to learn......"
Hearing Van Basten's words, He Xu almost jumped up, wanting to learn! Of course, I have to learn, although I just said as if I don't need experience, but it is better than nothing to get a little experience, let alone a person like Basten who is at the top of his game?
Basten also said, "What is experience?" There are players who can play well at the age of fifteen, and there are players who are already thirty-two years old, but they only know how to run around the field, and all the experience is relative. ”
Although I don't know if the sentence "they are all thirty-two years old" has any special purpose, this sentence still makes sense.
Liang Yuan looked at his watch, "You practice every day, right?" When the time comes, we will go to your training ground to find you, don't delay your normal training, don't be late! ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to let He Xu go, and He Xu was not polite, since he said yes, then Basten will come! Looking at his watch, He Xu, who got the cheap, muttered, "Really, it's obviously delaying my normal activities in the morning!" ”
After all, He Xu has always taken it seriously when he practiced for half an hour in the morning. Of course, it refers to what he has been taking seriously since today, after all, this is just a strategy he started to implement in order not to see Zhang Yao blocking himself early in the morning.
Looking at He Xu's back, Liang Yuan whispered, "Come on!" ”
Basten looked at the training ground of Ajax, which he had started playing at the age of 17 and then made his mark, but then left. Of course, those high-spirited years at AC Milan seem to be the glory of Basten's life. It must be a time that any football fan will never forget, or even be reluctant to forget.
Maybe it was because of Basten's sudden appearance that He Xu, who was very unconfident in his experience, was reassured. Maybe it's because Martins is about to make a comeback, which puts too much pressure on He Xu, who is said to be a "flow of luck" by the outside world. Maybe it's because Zhang Yao never gives up on himself every day, so he can't bear this somewhat heavy feeling. In short, He Xu's training on this day seemed to be a little absent-minded.
This day is October 10, 2010, He Xu is distracted for no other reason, this day is a person's birthday......
He Xu, who was eating a nutritious meal in the cafeteria at noon, was still a little distracted, originally just wanted to see what day he was lucky enough to meet Van Basten and receive his guidance. But when he saw the date on the screen of his phone, his heart also tingled slightly.
In fact, at this time, he wanted to slam the phone to the ground like in his previous life, and then scolded a few words, and finally asked rhetorically, "Which bastard Wang Balamb said that I, He Xu, am a suave Langjun who has not touched a leaf in the ten thousand flowers?" I'm also a person with a story, and I've been trapped in love! And it trapped me for a long time! ”
In fact, it's not that everyone is cynical or King Kong is not bad from the beginning, at least not He Xu at the beginning.
Fortunately, He Xu has a strong ability to adjust, so he silently hid some things in his heart, and we don't know how long he can hide it.
In the afternoon, Suarez finally officially got the confirmation and clearance of the team doctor and returned to the training ground.
His recovery was faster than expected, which also put pressure on He Xu, who was still struggling for a main position. After all, even if I have Van Basten's guidance now, I will definitely not be able to compete with the striker who will soon be called "Su Shen", so do I want to squeeze out Garrincha, who has finally become a starter? Or, there is another way, which is to make Suarez's injury bad all the time, oops! Sins and sins, how can you have such thoughts! It is not conducive to the construction of the team's spiritual civilization at all!
The more I thought about it, the more troublesome I became, and seeing Suarez's skills, He Xu was even more troubled. I didn't think Suarez was strong before, and I felt that he was still inferior to Messi and Ronaldo of the same generation, but now that I look closely, I know that this striker, who has always had many feats, really has strong strength.
In the intra-team match, Coman put He Xu and Garrincha in the main red team with stronger defensive ability, while Suarez was put in the substitute blue team.
Suarez's first-class dribbling skills allowed him to adapt to a number of positions up front, and as soon as the game began, he was on the verge of suffocating himself with a brilliant individual performance to break through the defence of Vertonghen and Van der Wiel, and then fired a shot from the top of the box that was fast enough for Stekelenburg to press the ball to the ground.
He Xu was not to be outdone, he wanted to rely on his ability to change colors, but unfortunately he is now like a child who has a top martial arts move but no internal strength. Unless it can have the Star Absorbing Dafa or the Northern Pluto Divine Skill, the wonderful actions and simple speed that can't be connected together are indeed average in breaking the defense alone.
He Xu was cut off several times, but Garrincha, who was not very excited before, suddenly broke out, and the wonderful horizontal dribbling at the top of the arc of the penalty area drove a reverse pass after the entire defense line on the opposite side, but unfortunately He Xu seemed to be distracted at the time, and it was clear that a good ball hit his foot and popped up on the sideline.
I don't know how to sneak into Ajax's training ground, Liang Yuan and Van Basten, who were in the corner, looked at He Xu who was stumbling around on the field, Basten nodded, "This kid, in addition to his poor consciousness and not knowing what to do in any situation, his speed, reactions, agility, and flexibility in mastering individual techniques are even much better than I was back then." When I joined Ajax, I was a year older than this kid now! ”
Liang Yuan raised his head and looked into the distance, "At that time, this place was not so big, your ankles were still very good, and my physical fitness was even worse than now." It was one of the best times to remember! It's like what the little cubs in front of me have experienced......"
Van Basten smiled, "I remember that time we were most willing to tease you, because you didn't understand English yet, so we always used English and very complicated body language to assign you to do something very simple, and then if you didn't do it well, we would laugh at you." I remember one time, it seemed like it was me, and I told you to help me get a bag of balls, and I don't know if you did it on purpose or if you were misled by my actions again. I actually came back with a bag of apples! ”
Liang Yuan, who was already able to speak fluent English, shrugged his shoulders, "Guess what? No matter how bad my English is, I can still hear simple words like apple and football, right? It's like a lot of times, it's actually a very simple word, I can understand it completely, and I don't know if it's you stupid or I'm stupid,......" Liang Yuan laughed out loud as he spoke.
Van Basten realized that his old friend had fooled him and his teammates for so long. This cunning skinny man!
Thinking about it, Van Basten didn't say anything more, just looked up at the expanded site, the greener turf. "Revisit the old place, but it doesn't seem to be the old place anymore!"
Liang Yuan looked disgusted and glanced at him, "You are a footballer, what kind of literary and artistic old age are you pretending to be with me here?" ”
