The midfield king of football life

Chapter 18 18 Ajax scouts visit
The much-anticipated "Genius Day" event is over, and every scout has many new targets to focus on, and each club has plans for future talent training.

Ding Ding Ding.
"Excuse me, is this Li Feng's house?" A straight middle-aged man in a brand-name suit asked outside the door.

Li Feng's mother opened the door, feeling a little puzzled, and slowly replied: "Yes, what can you do with our Li Feng?"

"Ma'am, you must be Li Feng's mother. That's right. I'm a full-time scout for Ajax Football Club. My name is Alex!" The middle-aged man said politely.

"Please come in!"

"Xiaofeng, someone is looking for you, you come out." Li Feng's mother called.

Li Feng came out in casual clothes, and he looked curiously at this middle-aged man he didn't know.

"I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am! I saw Li Feng's wonderful performance at the Genius Day match, and then I heard from my friends that you live here. The purpose of my visit today is mainly to talk to you and Li Feng, about whether he is interested in joining our Ajax youth training camp?" Alex said politely.

Li Feng's mother looked at Li Feng suspiciously, and Li Feng shook his head to express that he didn't know about it either.

"Mr. Alex, your question is rather sudden. I'm afraid we are not ready yet. Our family has just stabilized in Rotterdam, and Li Feng has only entered the Feyenoord youth training camp for a year. I am afraid that I have no plans to go to Amsterdam yet. I am very sorry." Li Feng's mother replied.

"Ma'am, you may have misunderstood me. I don’t mean Li Feng to transfer to the Ajax youth training camp now. He has enough time to think about it. Anyway, his contract with Feyenoord Club is signed once a year. When Li Feng thinks about it, he can contact me at any time. In addition, I’m here today to communicate with Li Feng about his current situation. I hope he can avoid some detours in the future. Li Feng’s current technical conditions are very good. At the age of 10, he has a clear vision on the field, a good overall view, and accurate passing. Ability, these are the abilities that a great midfielder should have. But this is also the most critical time for him. The focus of the youth training camp before the age of 12 is to cultivate basic technical ability and exercise physical fitness. In other words, Li Feng still has two years to let his basic technical ability take shape, and his physical fitness can improve. If he follows Feyenoord's step-by-step training method, Li Feng may become an excellent player, but there is still a big gap between becoming a great player." Alex said seriously.

Alex saw Li Feng's mother and Li Feng listening very seriously, and he continued: "My intention is to transfer Li Feng to the Ajax club and let him participate in the Ajax club's 'genius training' program. This program is mainly aimed at young players with special potential and excellence. Through testing their physical fitness, technical ability, and personality, a comprehensive future 5-10 training and development plan is formulated. During this period, targeted training is carried out for each young player's shortcomings, which is also called 'one-on-one improvement. 'Plan."

Alex paused here to see how Li Feng reacted.

At this time, Li Feng clenched his fists and thought to himself: "I want to become stronger, and I want to fulfill the promise I made to Bilal."

Seeing Li Feng's expression, Li Feng's mother said with a little worry: "Mr. Alex, I probably understand what you mean, but we can't give you an answer now, let's think about it first, shall we?"

"Of course madam, this is my business card. If you have made up your mind, please contact me." After Alex finished speaking, he handed the business card to Li Feng's mother, then got up and left.

"Xiaofeng, can you tell your mother what you really think?" Li Feng's mother asked kindly.

"I don't know how to say it. I promised Bilal in the hospital that I want to become a professional player and the best midfielder. This is my promise to Bilal." Li Feng replied seriously.

"Feng, don't feel too guilty about Bilal. Things have already happened. If you do this, I will be very worried about you. Becoming a professional player is very difficult. I don't want you to suffer too much because of Bilal. If you really like football, then you should work hard. I will support you, not just because of Bilal's promise, you know?" Li Feng's mother said seriously.

"Yeah, I understand. I like playing football. I can meet many friends through football. I enjoy playing football very much." Li Feng said.

"That's good, I'll ask Thomas later to see if he has any good suggestions on this matter?" Li Feng's mother said, stroking Li Feng's head lightly.

"Yeah, mom, I want to go to Pilar's house later, and I want to ask him what he thinks about this matter?" Li Feng said

"Okay, don't come back too late!"

Li Feng nodded.

When Li Feng arrived at Bilal's house, he met Bilal playing a live game.

"Feng, come here, let's play live football together." Bilal shouted.

"Um, I haven't played this game before, I can't." Li Feng said.

"Look at it first, it's easy to learn." Pilar said.

"Today, a scout from Ajax came to my house and wanted to invite me to the Ajax youth training camp. He said that Ajax has a talent training plan and one-on-one targeted training." Li Feng said slowly while watching Bilal play the game.

"What? Ajax's scout?" Pilar stopped what he was doing and asked in surprise.

"That's right! He even left a business card for my mother." Li Feng said seriously.

"Go, definitely go. Although Feyenoord, together with Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, are called the three giants of the Eredivisie, they are still much weaker than Ajax and PSV in terms of strength, including youth training. Ajax's youth training system is well-known throughout Europe. I think they came to you because they think you have the potential to become a star. You must try it." Bilal said excitedly.

"But... But after I leave Rotterdam, I don't know when I can see you again, and I don't have any friends in Amsterdam." Li Feng said disappointedly.

"Feng, you didn't have any friends when you first came to Rotterdam. Football is our best friend. I look forward to seeing your professional game one day, my little Fengfeng! (The author also got goosebumps)" Pilar said jokingly.

Hearing Pilar call him that, Li Feng got goosebumps all over his body.

"Okay, let me think about it again." Li Feng said.
