Chapter 16 Ronaldo II?

After winning the ball, it seems that even the air has become sweet.

Such was the mood of Ajax chief scout Tony Browns-Slots on Sunday morning.

Last night, at the Amsterdam Arena, Ajax played very well against the visiting Graf Sharp.

After the opponent Hans van der Haar scored the first goal in the opening 3 minutes, the Ajax players quickly adjusted and quickly equalized the score in the No. 16 minute with midfielder Jakub assisting Van der Vaart.

If the game was evenly matched in the first half, then the second half was completely dominated by Ajax. Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Galasek, Pienaar, Maxwell and Bocari scored goals one after another, and finally helped Ajax beat Graf Sharp [-]-[-] at home and completed a hearty victory.

This victory has greatly relieved the pressure on Ajax. At the critical moment, the two local rookies, Van der Vaart and Sneijder, also showed their core temperament, which made the team very pleased.

In the absence of Swedish center Zlatan Ibrahimovic in these four games, Van der Vaart performed extremely eye-catching, scoring six goals in four games, and the limelight once again suppressed the top Dutch winger Van der Meyde, who has shined this season.

Van der Meyde is Ajax's best performing star this season. This right winger has been favored by many wealthy teams in the Champions League and has been rumored to leave the team this summer.

This is also the heart knot of the team, including the head coach Koeman.

Defense is the biggest problem for Ajax. Young players such as Heitinga and Qiwu are immature, but their offense is quite sharp.

Among them, Van der Meyde on the right is the team's crucial right-sided assaulter. If he really transfers to the team, it will inevitably bring incalculable losses to the team's offense.

As early as the mid-90s, after Van Gaal's generation of Champions League champions fell apart, Ajax was unable to retain stars, and was completely reduced to a star processing factory for European giants.

But it is precisely because of this that Ajax pays more attention to scouting than ever before.

It has become the consensus of Ajax's management to dig out semi-finished products, polish them, and then sell them at a high price for arbitrage, and it is also the way for Ajax to survive in the fiercely competitive European football.

Ajax won [-]-[-], but PSV lost [-]-[-] away to Feyenoord. Kežman scored a goal, but Van Hoydonk scored a hat-trick, including two penalties, which caused great controversy.

But in any case, Ajax successfully chased the league points gap to three points.

With two rounds left in the league, everything is still possible.

With such a happy mood, Slotz walked into the scout office of Ajax training base De Tokmoster.

Ajax’s scouting network spreads all over the world, not to mention the Netherlands. Northern Europe and Africa are also the most important areas for Ajax’s scouting resources. Every day, scouts all over the world, or partners who have contact with Ajax send player information and tracking reports.

Assistants would compile these reports into volumes and deliver them to Slutz's desk promptly each morning.

As usual, the first thing Slots does when he arrives at work is to read the report.

Although Ajax is no longer as brilliant as it was in the early 90s, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still a famous and strong team in European football. It is also known for its youth training, which naturally attracts young players all over the world.

There are also countless player information sent to the team every day. Slotz has long been used to it. He browsed through it roughly and picked out a few players who were more interested in it.

Ronaldo II?

These days, there are not too many players who have been dubbed this title, but how many of them are real?
Will the pendulum be Ronaldo II?

And it turned out to be a right back who only played two games...

Slots shook his head and closed the report in his hand, and put it on the corner of the table. He smiled wryly in his heart, "The quality of scouts is getting lower and lower these days. It seems that we should rectify them."

The technical director, Leo Benhak, had an affair with the club's little secretary, claiming that he would leave the team this summer to get together and get away, but in fact he has already resigned now, and he is no longer in Amsterdam.

The management is currently looking for a suitable technical director, and it is said that the chairman has already been selected, and Slotz, who is currently acting as the technical director, feels that he should take this opportunity to rectify the scouting network so that he can have good results.

A camp made of iron, soldiers of flowing water.

The new technical director took office, and I don't know what to do.

…………

…………

While Slotz was worrying in the southern suburbs of Amsterdam, Yang Yang was in the skate park in Almere, finishing his morning basic training, sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of a bucket.

Since entering May, the weather has gradually become hotter.

Scored the first goal after landing in the Netherlands, which gave Yang Yang a strong confidence, but it was the Amsterdam Arena that really stimulated him and made him train harder last night and today.

Even just thinking about it, he felt extremely shocked, and at the same time deeply felt the disparity between himself and the group of young Ajax players.

After returning to Almere last night, he specially watched the live broadcast of the game. Van der Meyde's performance on the right made him feel ashamed, and Van der Vaart's skills and talent made him want to worship him even more.

But these two players are not much older than him.

The gap is so big, and the teammates have such a good training platform, if you don't work hard to catch up, you will only be pulled further and further away.

"Drink water."

The Dutch middle-aged man who often came to watch Yang Yang's training came again, still carrying two bottles of water, still sitting there, not saying a word, and only after Yang Yang completed the special training project, he handed over a bottle of water.

"Thank you." Yang Yang took the water, thanked him, and wiped his sweat with a towel.

"I just played the whole game yesterday. Not only did I double the training this morning, but I also increased the intensity. Can you bear it?"

Feeling the concern in his tone, Yang Yang chuckled, "I understand my own body, it's fine."

His training volume is checked by Lao Bing at the Super Training Ground. If he can't bear it, Lao Bing will not allow him to do so.

"You have something on your mind." The middle-aged Dutch said with certainty.

Yang Yang was a little strange, "How do you know?"

"It's written on your face." The middle-aged Dutch joked.

Obviously knowing that the other party was joking, but Yang Yang couldn't help reaching out and touching his face. This action made the always serious middle-aged Dutchman couldn't help but smile.

"I heard that you performed very well yesterday, with two assists and one goal, and a high success rate of one-on-one breakthroughs. It seems that you have gained a lot from special training recently, and your basic skills have also improved a lot. What else is on your mind?"

For this middle-aged man who was so unfamiliar that he didn't even know his name, Yang Yang was wary at first, but after a long time and more contacts, he found that the other party was not malicious.

"This is normal. These people have received the most formal and professional football training since they were young. The basic training you are doing now, they have already mastered it when they were eight or nine years old. It is only natural that you have a gap with them."

"I also understand." Yang Yang nodded, with a trace of unwillingness flashing across his face, "But I just can't accept it."

"What do you want?"

Yang Yang pondered for a while, and asked concerned: "Do you think it is still possible for me to catch up with them?"

"I still say that, it's as difficult as climbing the sky, but since you can see the gap, but still have this kind of thinking, you might as well give it a try."

"what do you mean……"

"You said when we first met, you have to try everything before you know it."

After hearing this, Yang Yang felt much better, and looked at the Dutch middle-aged man again, very curious.

"When you were at Ajax, what position did you play? Are you as good as Van der Vaart, Van der Meyde, Sneijder, or Litmanen? What is it like to play at the Amsterdam Arena?"

"When I played, Ajax's home stadium was still at the Olympiastadion. They moved to the Amsterdam Arena in [-], so I don't know what it's like to play there, but..."

The bitterness in the Dutch middle-aged eyes flashed, and he quickly continued: "I have never played for the Ajax first team. As an opponent, I have, but the feeling is not the same."

"So that's the case." Yang Yang nodded, but soon a new question arose, "Why do I often meet you here?"

"Because I like to come here to watch you train." The Dutch middle-aged man was very frank.

"why?"

"I made a bet with Truth, my girlfriend."

"what?"

"I bet you can't last a month in this boring basic training, and she thinks you can."

"Then what?" Yang Yang thought it was funny, he had actually become a gamble for the old couple.

"We made an appointment, and whoever loses must promise the other party to do one thing."

"Then you now..."

"I hope you can do it." The middle-aged Dutch said very sincerely.

His frankness made Yang Yang a little speechless. Although he really wanted to ask what he would do if he lost, he felt presumptuous. After all, this was a matter between the old couple.

"It's almost time. I have an appointment to play golf. It's time to go."

The middle-aged Dutchman stood up from the bench and looked at Yang Yang beside him before moving away.

"Based on your current progress rate, you should reduce the training of juggling the ball for at most another week, just pay attention to maintaining the feeling of the ball, don't blindly juggle the ball for the sake of juggling the ball, you can't play well if you only juggle the ball."

As soon as he took a step, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around, "Oh, yes, and also, practice your left foot more."

After speaking, he left without any regrets.
