Chapter 41 Questioning Van Marwijk!
"Little Cheetah, congratulations, we are competitive enough to produce a national team player, which makes us so happy!"

"Chen, damn it, tell me clearly, are you a relative in the top of the Football Association, otherwise, how could you become a member of the national team before even stepping on the Eredivisie field? This is too unreasonable!"

……

After 08:30 in the morning, Chen Fan received calls from Athletic Goal and teammates from the Ajax youth team.He thought they were joking at first, but with more and more calls, he realized it was true.

After the great joy, he couldn't understand why Van Marwijk fell in love with him?

This makes absolutely no sense.

Dutch football is full of talents. Not only are there a large number of stars in the Eredivisie, but they are also active in major European leagues. How could Van Marwijk pay attention to the Eredivisie?
"Chen, we are more proactive now. Rick van den Berg insisted yesterday that the contract cannot be changed, and said that in the history of Ajax, no one has changed the contract within a year. Now we have the capital to argue with him!"

"In the history of Ajax, it is true that the contract has not been changed within a year, but it has never happened in less than a year, from the youth team to the first team, or even into the national training team!"

"Since we are a special case, the contract must also be a special case!"

What excited Thomson, the agent, was that the hope of a new contract was greatly increased. As for Chen Fan's fate in the national team, he hadn't thought about it at all.

Or subconsciously, he thought that Van Marwijk was just trying to train young players, and it was impossible for Chen Fan to really enter the national team.

But he can use this opportunity to finalize a new contract and even fight for more salary for Chen Fan.

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Okay, we want to fight for more benefits for ourselves, all of this depends on you!"

Thomson said excitedly: "No problem. I am very familiar with bargaining. What is more important is that you are in a rocket-like ascent stage and have a bright future. Ajax has to consider these."

Not long after, Chen Fan received a call from an official of the club who kindly reminded him that it is best not to accept any media interviews at such a time and keep a low profile.

The last time one of his words caused such a big shock in the media, Chen Fan knew that he had better keep a low profile before his performance conquered these critical media reporters.

……

Obviously, the news of Chen Fan's selection to the national training team exploded like a bomb in the media.

They began to question van Marwijk's selection criteria.

"The Telegraph" commented after announcing the list of training teams: Van der Veer performed poorly in the Eredivisie, and there are signs that Basten is preparing to hide him.

Under such circumstances, Van Marwijk had to reconsider the choice of right back, but Chen Fan was just a young player who had never even played in the Eredivisie.How can such a player be qualified for such an important position as the right back of the national team?

"New Rotterdam Handelsblatt" commented: Chen performed very well in the Dutch second division. It can even be said that he is the best right back in his age group.

37 goals, occupying the top scorer list, which shows that his offensive ability is quite good, but we all know that a player has such a high number of goals, which shows that he focuses on offense.

This also shows that Chen is a player with strong offense and weak defense, and according to Van Marwijk's previous selection criteria, an important indicator for his selection of full-backs is defensive ability.

Just like the Ajax star van der Weil who was not selected this time, after he arrived in the national team, he changed his style at the club and focused on defense.

So, is Van Marwijk trying to transform a defender again?

And even if his transformation is successful, how can a player who has never seen the Eredivisie in a year, have a good performance in such an important arena as the World Cup qualifiers.

Van Marwijk's behavior undoubtedly annoyed Michels' supporters. This is slapping them in the face.

Neeskens said calmly when accepting the media: "I believe that young man cannot become a player of the Dutch national team. After this training camp, he will go home. The Dutch national team is a sacred place, not just anyone can stay."

"If, I said if, this possibility is almost impossible. If Chen really stays in the Dutch national team, it can only show that this Dutch team has changed, it is no longer a sacred place, and it is no longer a place that any Dutch player yearns for!"

……

The media likes to get to the bottom of it. After Van Marwijk attended the media meeting to introduce the new training list, he was under intense fire from reporters.

"How much do you know about the player Chen Fan? Why did you choose him?"

The Telegraph reporter was the first to ask.

Van Marwijk said: "I have a detailed understanding of every player selected, including Chen."

"I know that you think that Chen is a Dutch second player, and his level is not up to the level of the national team. In fact, if you went to watch his game, you would definitely not think so."

None of the reporters present were following the Dutch second game. Of course, they didn't know the specific performance of Chen Fan in the Dutch second. They just analyzed Chen Fan as a player with strong offense and weak defense from the statistics.

"I watched his three games live and studied all the video games he participated in. I finally think that this young man should be given a chance. He is a talented young man. What he lacks now is a stage."

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar. They never thought that Van Marwijk would give Chen Fan such a high evaluation.

And because of Chen Fan, Van Marwijk actually went to the Netherlands Second Division, and watched three games in one glance.

And he watched the videos of all Chen Fan's matches!

What does this mean?
It shows that Van Marwijk is cautious in dealing with Chen Fan, and it also shows that he values ​​this young man very much!
Sensitive reporters quickly seized on the information.

The reporter of "New Rotterdam Handelsblatt" asked: "The new list does not include Van der Veer's name. Are you going to abandon him and choose Chen Fan?"

Van Marwijk said: "Van der Wijk has not been in a good state recently. This is a well-known fact, and I will not comment here. As for whether I will replace Van der Weil with Chen..."

"It depends on Chen's level and ability in training. If he can adapt to the rhythm of the national team and integrate into the national team's tactical system, then I have no reason to give up such a talented young man."

This was so to the point that the reporters couldn't find anything to attack.

The reporter of "Football World" asked: "What do you think of Neskens' evaluation of Chen?"

Van Marwijk exhaled heavily, and said: "Mr. Neskens is a meritorious figure in Dutch football. We can understand his respect for Michels."

"I hope that if Mr. Neskens has time, he should go to watch Chen's game live. I believe that if he watches Chen's game, he should change his previous opinion."

Fortunately, after Van Marwijk took office, the results of the Dutch team are quite good. The World Cup qualifiers have won three consecutive victories. The media has a very good impression of him, otherwise he will be under more intense fire today.

Maybe it was for the future of the Dutch team, or maybe it was just a training camp and it didn't mean anything. After the reporters continued to ask a few questions, they finally let him go.
