Chapter 37 Eindhoven?

Since the first AS80 derby in the same city was completed, the celebration banquet was held at Shen Kee Chinese Restaurant, perhaps because Shen Ming's cooking skills are really good, or because everyone thought it would bring good luck, they unconsciously regarded Shen Kee Chinese Restaurant as a gathering place.

When night fell, Almere's players began to gather here intentionally or unintentionally. They did not enter, but occupied a fixed table in the corner of the courtyard, and the big guys got together to have tea and chat.

As long as the meal time is over and dinner is over, Yang Yang will come out to accompany him.

Gradually, the business of Shen Kee Chinese Restaurant is getting better and better, and more and more citizens like to dine here.

So after discussing with Yang Yang, Shen Ming decided to allocate that corner area exclusively for Almere's players.

Tonight, when Henk Dimel came, Nick and the other five had already made tea in the Almere area, while Yang Yang was staring at the dozens of business cards stacked in front of him in a daze in the restaurant after dinner.

These are the business cards left by the visiting scouts today. Yang Yang read them carefully, including Henk Funk from Utrecht, Michel Beckers from Feyenoord, and scouts from many teams including Alkmaar and Roda JC.

Among them, two of them caught Yang Yang's attention the most, Karas van Baalen and Pete DeViser from Eindhoven.

Karas van Baalen's business card says Scout, but Pete Dewisser says Chief Scout.

What do you mean?
"Cousin, do you know these people?" cousin Shen Yuzhu asked with concern.

She doesn't know much about football, but at least she knows that behind these business cards are the big teams in the Eredivisie and the Eredivisie, and any one of them is bigger and stronger than Almere.

She didn't understand the specifics of the situation, but she could vaguely guess that with his cousin's performance in the amateur game, he might have attracted the attention of many big teams. He used to worry about whether he could stay in Almere, but now he should be considering whether to stay in Almere, or even which team to go to for better development.

Sometimes when she thinks about it, she has to be surprised by the changes in the world. Who would have thought that Yang Yang would be where he is today?
If her cousin can also become a well-known football star in the Netherlands, then she is also honored to be a cousin.

Yang Yang naturally didn't know what his cousin was thinking, so he shook his head. He didn't know anything about these names, the only thing he knew was the team behind them, but he was also at a loss now.

This was the first time he felt that he should find a reliable agent as soon as possible.

At the very least, there is a professional on the sidelines to help make suggestions and figure out their current situation.

"Then what do we do now?" My cousin asked.

There are a lot of scouts who came to the door today, there are more than ten groups, and each group looks very kind, do you want to call them back?If you don't reply, will you offend someone?
Yang Yang smiled wryly, "I don't know either."

This should be considered a happy trouble.

"Forget it, put the business card here first, and I'll talk about it later after I understand the situation."

It seems that we still need to find an opportunity to ask John Repp. After all, he is a professional player and the head coach of the team. He should be more aware of the current football environment.

With certainty in mind, Yang Yang walked out of the restaurant after putting away his business card, and Henk Dimmel, Nick and others immediately waved him over.

The game ended yesterday, and today should be the day when the results of the draw will be announced. I wonder who will be Almere's opponent in the sixth round?

But no matter what, the opponent's strength will definitely be stronger than Volendam.

Playing Volendam is already so difficult, and the opponent in the sixth round may be even more dangerous.

At this moment, there was a movement at the door of the restaurant.

Yang Yang looked up, just in time to see the head coach John Repp walking into the courtyard from a distance with a smile on his face.

This is a celebrity in Almere, and it is the first time to come to Shenji Chinese Restaurant, not only everyone around is secretly surprised, even Yang Yang himself is a little bit surprised.

Many restaurant guests would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately gathered around, those who wanted to take a group photo or autograph, surrounded John Repp tightly, and Yang Yang, Henk Dimmel and others were very envious of that scene.

Whether it is the former Dutch international, the European right winger, or the hero of Almere in the past seven years, the weight in the hearts of the fans is simply not comparable to them.

After finally getting rid of the entanglement of the fans, Shen Ming also received the news and came out to welcome John Repp warmly.

The presence of Almere's head coach will greatly increase the reputation of Shen Ji's Chinese restaurant, and Shen Ming also knows that whether it is John Repp or Henk Dimmel and other players, they are obviously coming for his nephew.

He didn't expect that his good football could also drive the business of his Chinese restaurant.

Knowing that everyone in Almere had something to say, Shen Ming greeted everyone warmly, took out the good tea he had treasured, and then went back to the shop.

"The result of the lottery is out."

There are no outsiders, and Henk Dimmel immediately got to the point.

"Our opponent in the sixth round is far stronger than Volendam."

Everyone knew it well. By the sixth round of the amateur competition, there were only eight teams left. Only Almere was the third-tier team, and the rest were teams with outstanding youth training in Eredivisie and Eredivisie. No matter who they met, it would be very difficult.

"Who is it?" Yang Yang asked.

"Ajax."

"What?" Everyone gasped.

Ajax is a big favorite in the amateur game. Players such as Babel, Amrabat and Maduro are all first-tier or quasi-first-tier players. Many people even think that even if this team is placed in the Eredivisie, relegation will not be a problem.

Unexpectedly, Almere drew this Big Mac team so quickly.

Yang Yang glanced at the crowd, and found that everyone was downcast, and his heart couldn't help but feel timid before fighting, that's not okay.

"Okay, everyone, Ajax may not win every battle, and we may not have no chance of winning."

Everyone immediately looked at Yang Yang.

"In the past five rounds, we have played extremely hard every game. AS80, Fra Ferrantz and Volendam, which of these opponents is not stronger than us? There are several Ajax youth training in the Volendam team. How much better than us? But the result?"

When everyone heard this, they all regained some morale and confidence.

Who said no?
Didn't Almere rely on the weak to defeat the strong one after another?

The game against Volendam last night is the best example.

John Repp, who never spoke, gave Yang Yang an appreciative look, nodded and said: "Yang Yang is right, Ajax is not invincible, no matter what, as long as we do our best, we will have a clear conscience about the outcome."

The head coach said so, and the big guys agreed, nodding their heads one after another, but they still felt a little uneasy in their hearts. This can only be adjusted in the next few days.

Since the sixth round is a home game, John Repp said that he and Dick Van Poel will take time to lead the team to train in the past few days, rehearse some defensive counterattack routines against Ajax, and at the same time, he will personally direct this game.

This undoubtedly boosted everyone's confidence and fighting spirit.

All that needs to be said has been said, so John Repp didn't stay any longer and got up to leave, but before he left, he asked Yang Yang to send him out.

The two walked out of the courtyard side by side. On the road to the parking lot, John Rep asked Yang Yang about his recent situation with concern.

"I heard that many scouts have been contacting you recently?" John Repp asked tentatively.

Yang Yang didn't know where the head coach got the news, and when he nodded, he took out the stack of business cards from his pocket, which surprised John Repp, who didn't expect that there were more than a dozen groups.

When he saw this stack of business cards, John Repp knew in his heart that Yang Yang might not be able to keep it.

The temple is too small to accommodate the giant Buddha, and now Yang Yang is no longer something that Almere can keep.

Yang Yang had intended to ask John Rep something, and took this opportunity to ask his doubts on the spot.

"I don't know exactly how these teams treat you, and I can't say more, but look at these two people from Eindhoven."

John Rip took out two business cards of Karas van Baalen and Pete DeViser from the business card.

"Karas van Baalen is a scout for Eindhoven, responsible for the North Holland area. It is not surprising that he contacted you, but Peter Dewisser is the chief scout for Eindhoven, which is not easy."

"What do you mean?"

"According to the process, Karas Van Baalen should first see you, and then submit a scouting report to recommend you to Pete Dewisser. After approval, Pete Dewisser will inspect you in person, and then Eindhoven's youth training director Frank Arnesen will make an assessment. If they think it is necessary, Arnesen may even come over in person, and even the first-team coaching staff will also send someone to accompany you."

Yang Yang is not familiar with the process of the Dutch team's inspection of players. Hearing what John Repp said now, he feels that Pete Dewisser can come in person and leave a business card, which already means that he is very close to Eindhoven.

"Although you have not signed a professional contract with us in Almere, you are our youth training players. They have not formally contacted us, so they should still be in the investigation stage, but if you are interested in joining PSV, call him at this time, and the hope will be greatly improved."

When John Rep spoke, his eyes kept watching Yang Yang's expression, as if he wanted to find some clues from his face, but in the end, he found that Yang Yang didn't seem to respond at all, and he still had an indifferent expression.

The mental quality is really good!

But what he didn't know was that Yang Yang didn't show any reaction on the surface, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.

PSV Eindhoven, the champion of the Eredivisie last season, coach Hiddink is well known in China, there are two Asian players in the team, and there are famous European stars such as Kežman, Robben and Van Bommel.

More importantly, Ronaldo landed in the European League from Eindhoven and shocked the world in one fell swoop.

Retracing the development track of idols back then is simply a beautiful thing that Yang Yang dare not even dream of.

Even he was a little stunned by the sudden pie.

Want to join Eindhoven?
Yang Yang was tempted.
