Chapter 234 Fighting Ajax

Because of the holding of the World Youth Championship, there are many more tourists on the streets of Amsterdam than in the past.

As a fan of Gege, Ajax, the holy land of youth training in the Netherlands, is the place they must go.

The Amsterdam Stadium, located in the southeast of Amsterdam, was full of people at this time.

The famous Ajax youth training camp is located near the Amsterdam Stadium.

The gate of the training base of the Ajax youth academy is always crowded with people. These people are fans of artistic football. They come from all over the world, just like believers go to Mecca to worship. Same, come to pay homage to the palace of artistic football.

They held up their cameras and mobile phones that could take pictures, and couldn’t wait to press the shutter frequently before they entered the door, and then excitedly talked about Cruyff, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Blind and his son, Ibrahimovic, Su Shen... Of course, Sneijder, the young genius born in Utrecht, is absolutely indispensable.

The training ground of the first team can always attract the attention of thousands of fans, compared with the training ground of the youth team, there are very few.

But today, the training ground of the Ajax youth team is different from the past.

Because at the gate of their base, a group of guests came from afar.

After eight years, the China National Youth Team returned to Amsterdam again as a participating country in the World Youth Championship.

It's just that compared to the last time, the Chinese national youth who came to Amsterdam this time came to the Ajax youth training camp as the champion of the Asian youth team.

For the entire city of Amsterdam, the visit of an Asian team did not attract their attention. After all, besides the Dutch team, there are 31 youth teams.If it weren't for the announcement on Ajax's official website that there will be a warm-up match with the China National Youth League, many Ajax fans would not know that there will be a match today.

The reason why Ajax fans can come to the youth team training ground may be that they are just curious about the Chinese national youth who came to the Netherlands eight years ago. Jax? …

……

Before the official game, a red bus with the dragon and phoenix logo stopped in front of the Ajax youth academy base.

"Didn't we go to the Ajax youth training camp? Why did you come to the Amsterdam Stadium?" Xu Zangyi got out of the car, and his eyes were naturally attracted by the magnificent stadium in front of him. This is the world-famous Ajax The Amsterdam Stadium, home of the football club.

Not only Xu Zangyi, but everyone else immediately looked at the Amsterdam Stadium not far ahead after getting off the car. It is so huge that it looks bigger than any other stadium in China, and people's eyes can't help being caught by it. attract.

Even Xu Xin, who played for Atlético de Madrid, cast his eyes on this stadium, looking a little dazed.

Perhaps in his heart, he can't help but compare it with Atletico Madrid's home stadium, the Calderon Stadium.I just don't know whether Amsterdam won or Calderon won...

After all the national youth players got off the car, the technical director of the Ajax youth training camp Jan Odd Ricklink was in charge of receiving them.

He took the Chinese National Youth Team to the Ajax Youth Training Camp.

"Welcome to the Ajax youth training camp!" Standing in front of a two-story black and white building, Jan Oder Ricklink opened his hands as a sign of welcome, and at the same time, this gesture was very proud Show everyone this small building behind him.

"Guapi! This is the Ajax youth training camp? What's the difference between this and our Lu Thai base?"

Different from the exclamations of other players, Wang Tong was a little disappointed.This famous Ajax youth training camp is a bit too ordinary, even simple, it is hard for you to imagine that countless superstars have been produced here.

As far as the eye can see, there is only one small building, a competition field with seats on natural grass, surrounded by blue construction walls, and several training fields...I don't know whether it is artificial turf or natural turf...

"Hehe! Turtle!"

"Ajax youth training camp, a football training stadium, a natural grass field with seats, and a natural grass field for more than ten yuan!"

"Scientific design, complete facilities, complete supporting facilities, advanced concepts and other good conditions and factors have created a world-class youth training camp that produces a large number of talents." Wang Tong just finished complaining, and Li Yuanyi behind him couldn't help but sneer.

Li Yuanyi, who was born in Europe, knows more about Ajax than Wang Tong, who has been in China.

Sure enough, after Jan Odd Ricklink briefly introduced the small building, he introduced the facilities of the entire Ajax youth training camp. The number of stadiums and training grounds he mentioned was roughly the same as what Li Yuanyi said. Similarly, because the training ground is under construction, a large area of ​​the training ground is blocked.

After the explanation, Jan Oder Ricklink took the Chinese national youth to visit the Ajax youth training camp.

Let's start with this two-story small building, which is very simply furnished, with a dining room, six bedrooms, a library and a computer room.There are many portraits of players hanging in the restaurant. They are all stars who have come out of the Ajax youth training camp. There are nearly a hundred stars including Cruyff.

Seeing this Xu Zangyi suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. I had seen many portraits of players when I visited the Hang Seng Base before.Compared to the building at Hang Seng Base, this two-story building is relatively small.

But one thing is that the portraits in this building are all from Ajax, which has a glorious and glorious history.And Hang Seng is linked to the famous football players in the entire eastern Guangdong province, and even football seniors before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

One is genuine and the other is decorative, which directly reflects the distance between the two.

However, one thing that Hang Seng is worthy of recognition is that they attach importance to football inheritance, which is ahead of many domestic clubs.

The two-story building has simple facilities, and the tour will be completed soon after a quick tour.

Then Jan Odd Ricklink led everyone to the training ground.This is the last place they came to the Ajax youth training camp, and they will complete a warm-up match with Ajax u18 here.

This is the last warm-up for the Chinese national youth before participating in the World Youth Championship. After that, they will stand on the stage of the World Youth Championship and appear in front of the world.

So this warm-up is crucial...

……

At this time, the time has come to a quarter past ten in the morning, and there are still two hours before the hottest noon.

The accompanying Chinese media have already begun to place machines, and the satellite signal broadcast vehicle is already in place.

That's right!This game is not only open to Ajax fans, but also live broadcast.

The reason why the game is played in the morning is probably to take care of the Chinese fans who are thousands of miles away.

When they came here, the Chinese national youth players put away the relaxed mood during the previous visit, and their faces became serious.

Perhaps from the moment the camera was set up, they had already entered the game state.

Sun Xuhai, the team leader and assistant coach, gathered the players together because he was about to announce the starting lineup.

Why not announce it in the locker room?Because there is no locker room at all, this is just the training ground of the Ajax echelon.

The closest changing room is also a natural turf training pitch enclosed by a construction wall, apparently not being used for games at the moment.

Soon Sun Xuhai announced that he had finished the first round. In fact, everyone knew who would be able to make it and who would not.The starting lineup that won the Asian Youth Championship must be the first choice, because there is no stronger combination than this lineup.

But there are exceptions to everything, and so is today's starting list.

In the starting list announced by Sun Xuhai, there is still no Xu Zangyi's name, and it is still Zheng Dalun who replaced Xu Zangyi in the starting lineup.

Kerry's arrangement not only surprised the players, but even Sun Xuhai was puzzled.

The warm-up against Costa Rica in the second game has already proved the importance of Xu Zangyi to the National Youth League. Why does Kerry still insist on letting Xu Zangyi substitute?
Sun Xuhai had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask Kerry. As an assistant coach, he always had the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions.Besides, Rose, who is closest to Kerry, can't change Kerry's mind, so he has nothing to do.He can only hope that Kerry realizes his mistake as soon as possible and corrects his starting list.

Of course, if Kerry still insists on going his own way in the World Youth Championship, Sun Xuhai does not rule out using another identity in the national youth coaching staff-team leader!
This post of commander-in-chief can be removed at any time.

Of course, Sun Xuhai would not use this power unless it was absolutely necessary.Because once it is used, the National Youth and World Youth Championships will basically be over...

Xu Zangyi was not as calm as the first time he was substituting himself again, and he even complained a little.

The reason why there is such a strong desire to fight is because the current opponent of the National Youth League is the u18 echelon of the youth training giant Ajax.Not as good as it used to be, but it still represents the elite players in Amsterdam and the surrounding towns.

Xu Zangyi is eager to appear on the stage and compete with them...

"Zang Yi! It's okay! You'll be on stage soon!" Seeing that Xu Zangyi was a little unhappy, Xu Xin walked to Xu Zangyi's side to comfort him.

"I understand! I will be patient!" Xu Zangyi forced himself to smile.

Xu Xin patted Xu Zangyi's chest and didn't speak any more.

He knew what Xu Zangyi was thinking, and he had also heard the rumors that Vallecano was going to introduce Xu Zangyi some time ago.

As for why the trip didn't take place in the end, Xu Zangyi didn't reveal it to him, but Xu Xin could guess one or two.

To prove his feelings, Xu Xin can understand very well, and he feels the pain of not being able to play.

Soon the starting players changed their equipment and assembled on the sidelines, while the substitute players and the coaching staff sat on the benches on the sidelines.

Because of the limited space, Xu Zangyi had to sit on the turf next to the bench.There is also a cabinet-type water dispenser next to it, and the substitute has become a veritable "water dispenser" player for two consecutive games...
