Chapter 44: Van Gaal's selfishness

"Last night in Almere fans, I saw Pete Devise."
Chief Scout Tony Browns Slots frowned without worries and reminded, "This is the second time Eindhoven has observed Yang Yang up close. I suggest we should start as soon as possible."
Almere is the satellite club of Ajax, and Yang Yang is a big fan of Van Basten. No matter from which point of view, there is no reason for Ajax to let this highly regarded player fall, especially Still cast a dead enemy Eindhoven.
If so, Ajax's face would be wiped out.
"I also agree with Tony's statement that when Robben was in Groningen, we had the most chance, but the result was that Eindhoven was the first to come. If we tried to grab Robben in time, then the current situation It's completely different. "Patrick Radru also responded aloud.
Robben is one of the most eye-catching rookies in Dutch football in the past two or three years. He is also known as the new three Musketeers of the Netherlands with Feyenoord's Van Persie and Ajax's Van der Vaart, but he is proud to follow Van Persie and Van der Vaart Unlike youth training, Robben made his debut in Groningen in the north of the Netherlands.
Robben caused the competition of the three giants, but in the end it was Eindhoven who took the lead, which made the Ajax team always regret. Otherwise, Robben and Van der Meide were separated on the two wings. Ibrahim Shimovich dominated the center, Van der Vaart ruled the midfield, and Ajax's frontcourt attack was invincible.
But it is a pity that Robben has become the star of Eindhoven.
"I also think that Yang Yang does have the ability to play for Ajax, and from what I have learned, he is obviously closer to us than other teams, after all, he stayed in Almere One year. "Luther Carol also stated.
Although nominally a satellite club, Almere is actually part of the Ajax youth training system.
Of course, this part is insignificant.
"How did he behave yesterday?" Van Gaal asked lightly.
Although he was very happy to see that Yang Yang was recognized by everyone, but since it was a public matter, he would be public and would not care about private sex.
"Performed well, especially in the first half, made several threats, and scored a goal. Under the defense of two players, Fermalen and Emmanuelson, he was able to grab a single goal. Not simple. "Chief Scout Slots said.
"Last night, Aaron Moi's football online was also discussing this game enthusiastically, and his performance was also very recognized. This is the third consecutive period. It is estimated that there are a lot of teams staring at him now." Patrick Radru reminded.
Van Gaal continued to ask, "What about his own attitude?"
"I don't know, but I think he is still happy to join Ajax."
"why?"
"He came to the Netherlands a year ago and lives in his uncle ’s house. His uncle runs a Chinese restaurant in Almere, while he himself is studying at Bakken Academy. If he joins us in Ajax, no matter what life I can still keep my studies, but when I go to Eindhoven, everything is messed up. "
When talking about this, Patrick Radru suddenly smiled, "I specifically learned about it with John Rep. It turned out that this kid was better than playing football, and he got the full in the final assessment of the Bakken School. In the first grade, he also received a scholarship. "
"Really?" Everyone present looked surprised.
Even Van Gaal and Koeman were slightly moved.
In the Ajax youth camp, there are many good players and many academically good players, but players who play well and have good academic performance are really rare.
Unexpectedly, this one called Yang Yang was actually a school bully.
Van Gaal pondered for a moment, then turned to Van Basten, "Marco, what do you think?"
Van Basten grinned and chuckled, "I like that kid."
In a word, Van Basten's attitude was thoroughly demonstrated.
Van Gaal then looked at the first team coach Coman, who shrugged and said he had no opinion.
Although his head coach is also involved in youth training, he is more concerned with the promotion of youth training talents. More matters are still in charge of Luther Carol, and Van Gaal, the technical director, is responsible for all Ajax. Athletic affairs.
In other words, the Dutch coach is everyone present, including Van Basten's immediate supervisor.
At the moment his sentence can judge Ajax's choice.
Van Gaal did not rush to express his position, but turned over the scout report and materials on his hand. His eyebrows were slightly frowned, obviously he was also considering and thinking, but soon he dropped the documents in his hands.
"From the material point of view, he has already received a place for Almere to participate in the talent day, so my opinion is that we can talk to him first and stabilize him, but it is best to arrange him to participate in the selection of the talent day. It ’s a rare experience and exercise opportunity to investigate systematically at close range.

Ajax ’s genius days are selected twice a year, each time the first team players will be arranged to train and play with all the players participating in the selection, and there will be nearly a thousand people from around Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Even young players from all over the world participated.
This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to recognize one's own strength, but also a platform to broaden horizons.
More importantly, if a 16-year-old player like Yang Yang signs directly into the team, he will generally leapfrog to the 17-eighteen age group and then slowly promote from the echelon. There is every chance to make up for the second team directly, which is the team coached by Van Basten.
This can be regarded as van Gaal's little selfishness within the scope of rules and power.
Van Gaal believes that whether it is from the perspective of the club's inspection of players or Yang Yang's own development, participating in the talent day selection is a good choice and a good opportunity for training.
After all, the opportunity to compete with the first-team stars is not something you can do casually.
After listening to Van Gaal's words, more people still felt that Van Gaal was out of prudence and strict requirements, which was also very consistent with his usual style of conduct, so it was not surprising.
It doesn't matter whether you participate in the selection of Genius Day, mainly because there are competitors now.
"What if Eindhoven contacted him during this period of time?" Chief Scout Slots worried.
The reason why everyone is anxious to sign Yang Yang is also out of this consideration.
"He is a smart man. He did n’t have much chance to go to Eindhoven at this time, and as you said, his uncle is in Almere. As long as we promise, after the talent day selection, we are willing to sign regardless of the results. Under him, I believe he will not refuse. "
Everyone felt reasonable after hearing it, and they were still very confident about Ajax's appeal.
"Of course, for your safety, Patrick, you can run Almere after the meeting."
Patrick Radrew nodded and agreed, "I'll go to the Chinese restaurant to talk to his uncle first."
"If he is not in a Chinese restaurant, it should be in a skate park. You go directly to him and tell him by the way, this is my decision." Van Gaal said lightly.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
How does Van Gaal know where to find him?
Did they know each other before?
What is their relationship?
Everyone had doubts, but Van Gaal refused to say more, and they didn't need to guess.
…………
…………
At around noon, youth assistant Patrick Rudru, accompanied by scout Fred Arroyo, came to the Shenji Chinese restaurant in Almere, but Yang Yang was not.
After an in-depth conversation with Yang Yang's uncle Shen Ming, they led the way down to Shen Yuzhu to the skateboard park, and saw Yang Yang who had been practicing hard for a morning in the core skateboarding area.
At this moment, Yang Yang had already completed the training program on the wall. In front of a yellow sign plate, the left and right feet were either dialed or pushed or pulled or picked or buckled to allow the ball to move around the small sign plate.
As Ajax ’s youth training assistant and scout, Radru and Arroyo are naturally very clear, this is the most basic ball control action, but Yang Yang is repeated over and over again, the expression on his face Focused very hard, not paying attention to their appearance at all.
From his wet jersey, sweating sweat, and the broken wall in front of them, they can easily think of Yang Yang's training program here and the hard work of this Chinese kid.
This shocked both.
This is almost self-abuse training, especially this extremely boring basic training, but he can be so focused.
"How long has he been training like this?" Patrick Ladru asked tremblingly.
"Three months." Shen Yuzhu still felt a little distressed.
Parents treat Yang Yang as their son, and she also treats Yang Yang as his younger brother.
Radru and Arroyo glanced at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes. Obviously they both thought of the same thing, that is, Yang Yang's rapid rise from Almere started three months ago. After that, he seemed to be flying into the sky and surprised everyone. Almost every game was improving.
After all, all of them came back and suspected that this was his sudden enlightenment, he understood the game, and the situation of Yang Yang ’s basic skills was too bad, and the big guys also felt reasonable, but now it seems that his secret of climbing is not hidden in this skate park Inside?
Van Gaal definitely knew this, so he told them to come to the skate park if they couldn't find anyone in the Chinese restaurant.
But what is his relationship with Yang Yang? How do they know?
"It seems that we still underestimated him." Patrick Radrew shook his head.
Fred Arroyo was also convinced that they really underestimated Yang Yang.
This is not to underestimate Yang Yang's current strength, but to underestimate Yang Yang and his future possibilities.
God knows how much he can achieve in the future with his almost self-abuse and hard work, and with the progress shown by him now?
