Chapter 40 National Training Team!
Soon after, Van der Veer, who was blocked by Basten, came, and no emotion could be seen from his face.When he learned that Chen Fan had become a new member of the team, he obviously paused for a while, then gave Chen Fan a contemptuous look.

Basten, do you think that a youth team player can play such an important position as right back?
What a joke!
Young people, don't think this is an opportunity, this is a crisis!

If the team's performance is stable, you should not be under much pressure when you come to the team to play, but now everyone is staring at the performance of Ajax's right-back position.

This is not an opportunity, but a pit, a big pit!
Only I can fill this hole!

……

In order to leave a good impression on Basten, Chen Fan worked very hard during training, completely disregarding the crisis of points during the confrontation, and frequently turned on "stealing mode" and "crossing mode".

After the first training session, not only the teammates were taken aback, but even Basten's frown relaxed a bit.

And van der Veer, who had firmly believed that only he could take on the big responsibility, felt a deep crisis.

"Chen, you have done very well in individual defense, but you still need to improve your ability to defend with your teammates. The Eredivisie is different from the Eredivisie. The Eredivisie pays more attention to coordination when attacking, while the Eredivisie is full of a lot of individual breakthroughs."

Chen Fan also realized this, and said sincerely: "Mr. Basten, I understand, I will work hard to improve."

Basten patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why do you still call me Mr. instead of coach?"

Chen Fan explained: "In my heart, I only call him a gentleman if I respect someone. And you are a member I respect. This is not just the achievements you made on the field when you were a player. For me, you can ignore what those people think of me and let me enter the first team. This kind of behavior makes me respect even more."

Basten was stunned for a moment and then said: "How could those people's remarks affect me? Although Michels is a great coach, he also sometimes misreads. I can guarantee that if he is still alive and sees your current performance, he will definitely take back his remarks."

"Chen, we play football for ourselves. To put it mildly, we play football for the fans. So other people's opinions don't matter at all. The important thing is that we think we are strong!"

Strong!
Chen Fan nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Basten, I remember!"

Basten said with a smile: "I still hope you call me coach."

"Well, Mr. Basten! Oh, Coach!"

……

Dutch football went up and down last summer. In the first round of the knockout round of the European Cup, they were defeated by Hiddink, who is very familiar with Dutch football, coaching Russia.

Basten sadly left the position of coach of the Dutch team, and Bert Van Marwijk took office. His first task was to help the Dutch team get tickets for the 10-year World Cup.

Since taking office, Bert van Marwijk has focused on reforming the Dutch team to change the problem of Basten's strong offense and weak defense, and tried his best to restore the Netherlands to the offensive and defensive balance.

Judging from the results of the first two games of the 10 World Cup European qualifiers, this transformation has achieved certain results.

On September [-] last year, the first match of the qualifiers started. The Netherlands, who played away, defeated Macedonia, which was of mediocre strength, [-]-[-].On October [-], the Netherlands, who returned to their home court, beat Iceland [-]-[-] and won two consecutive victories.

Four days later, they went to Norway and defeated their opponents with a score of [-] to [-], winning three consecutive victories!
After three rounds, the Netherlands firmly occupies the first place in the group.

From the score point of view, the Netherlands is indeed not as brilliant as Basten's era, but they conceded the fewest goals in the ninth group.The team is developing in the direction of Van Marwijk's transformation.

The Dutch media affirmed the work of Van Marwijk, thinking that only such a Dutch team can achieve good results in the competition.

The fourth round will start on the 28th of next month, with the Netherlands playing at home against Scotland.Van Marwijk has to use the time between games to train and run the lineup.

On February [-], Van Marwijk announced the training list.

A name that is extremely unfamiliar to Dutch fans appears on this list, and the position is right back.

"Who can tell me who Chen Fan is?"

"Ajax youth team? God, is Van Marwijk crazy?"

"Maybe he's training young players..."

People have launched a heated discussion, and the streets and alleys are full of such questions.

……

"Bald Jack, Chen has entered the national team! He is a player of our Athletic Goal team. In the future, our Athletic Goal team can proudly say that our Athletic Goal players have entered the national team!"

"Really? How is this possible? He is only a player of the Ajax youth team. There has never been a Dutch second player entering the national team in the history of the Netherlands!"

"The newspapers are all published, and this is still false. Jack, I can understand if others have doubts, but you still doubt me, which is very disappointing..."

"No! No! I'm so excited that I suspect it's not true! What newspaper?"

"Damn it, you can find this training list in any newspaper!"

"Okay! I'll go and see right away!"

Bald Jack hung up the phone of team member Louis, and immediately went to a nearby newsstand to buy a copy of The Telegraph.

When reading newspapers, of course, one must look at the most famous sports media in China. The first thing that catches his eyes is a large line of words—the list of the new national team training team is released!
Bald Jack immediately looked for the list, and found Chen Fan's name on that list!
By this time people around the newsstand were buzzing about the list.

"Is Chen Fan the young man that the media talked about two months ago?"

"It should be him. It is said that he was not favored by Michels at all, and Neskens was not optimistic about him..."

"You can see that he is only a player of the youth team and has not participated in the Eredivisie. Why is Van Marwijk's selection standard so low?"

"It's a good thing for Ajax to do so much, and it fully shows that the Ajax youth training camp has achieved remarkable results!"

"That's right, Van Marwijk is taking a risk. You must know that many people are now Michels' supporters."

"I remember that this young man was not a professional player a year ago, but now he has entered the training team. Although it is not certain that he can become an official player of the national team, this is already quite inspirational!"

Bald Jack was finally able to intervene. He looked at the people around him and said loudly, "He was indeed an amateur player a year ago, but his ability in amateur games is no worse than that of a professional player!"

"One time he made Ajax hopeful Arkadius Milik do nothing on the pitch!"

"And as a full-back, he now holds the top scorer list in the Netherlands Second Division, scoring 37 goals, eleven goals more than No.2, that's eleven goals!"

"Why can't such a young talent enter the national training team? And I believe he will stand firm in the national team and become the main force of the national team!"

The crowd fell silent.

A middle-aged man broke the silence and asked the bald Jack: "You seem to know his situation very well. Are you his so-and-so?"

Bald Jack held his head high and said proudly: "Of course I know him well, because he was a member of our Sporting Goal team a year ago!"

"He will always be part of our Sporting Goal team!"

"He was trained by our Sporting Goal team!"
