[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

On August 8, a week after the Charity Shield, the Premier League officially began.United started the season with a win against Tottenham Hotspur in the first round.By the end of August, after five league rounds, Manchester United topped the standings with four wins and one draw, followed by Arsenal with four wins, one loss and one point.

At that moment, Ferguson did not expect that the elegant Frenchman on the Arsenal coach's bench would accompany him in his career until he really decided to retire.

In this way, the national team training camp, which lasted about ten days, began.It is said that it is a gathering of English players from Manchester United and Liverpool. Most of the England internationals come from these two teams.At the same time, Aarau ushered in the day of national team training without the opportunity to play.He was basically ready to go to Amsterdam to participate in the U19 joint training. That afternoon, there was a knock on the door of Beckham's house.

The man who came in was holding a briefcase, his suit and leather shoes were neatly stamped with hairspray, his brows and eyes were crooked when he smiled, but it was a pity that there was a calculating smile on the corner of his mouth, paired with gold-rimmed glasses, he was a typical example of a gentle scum .He first greeted Beckham affectionately. Although Beckham swore that he had never met him, such "enthusiasm" made him smile politely.Beckham took the business card he handed over, John Cheletsen, a manager of a Dutch football player.

Sure enough, Chelesen gave Aarau a hug when he came over, "It seems that I need to find you a place to live, and I can't always disturb people like this." Beckham raised his eyebrows, thinking that the Dutch kid's transfer and the initial stage were all very difficult. I didn't see this guy coming to Manchester, what does it mean to say that now, "It's not actually disturbing, the two of us take care of each other."

"Wow, it looks like you're getting along well, isn't it Arau?" The man looked surprised, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel particularly uneasy, and he definitely couldn't generate a little bit of trust.Instead, Aarau cut to the chase, "Come on John, I'm going to pack my luggage and you take me back to Amsterdam?" Then he ran upstairs.

Cheletsen seemed to want to say something to him, but he swallowed it back, and then it was that fox face that seemed to have infinite conspiracy.Beckham basically went to the England national team for training at the same time, and he also went upstairs to see if there was any need for supplementation or help.Cheletsen sat on the sofa familiarly, and when Aarau came down with the box and saw that it was about to touch the floor completely, he said lightly, "By the way, your destination this time is not Amsterdam."

Alao was stunned, and the suitcase fell to the ground without grasping it firmly, which made the boy feel distressed.Not only that, but it seemed that Mixiu, who was lying not far away, was taken aback. He moved over timidly. Alao asked casually while looking at his box while stroking Mixiu's back hair. , "The location of the U19 training camp has changed?"

"This time the destination is Rotterdam, Feyenoord's training camp." After finishing speaking, the old god looked at Aarau and still didn't understand, "Most of the U19 Ajax will be in Amsterdam! This March Didn’t Ajax and Feyenoord quarrel again in the raucous Beverwick war? How could it be U3...ah!!!” He suddenly reacted and stood up straight and looked at Chelesen.

Celesen looked at Lao van der Rey who finally understood something, "That's right, Aarau, the Dutch U21s are training in Feyenoord." The next second, I saw the young man turn his head and say to Beckham who was walking down .

"David!!! I'm in U21! The starting goalkeeper!!"

Cheletsen rolled his eyes, thinking that he was really confident.

-

Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands, is completely different from Amsterdam, which represents "art and creativity", while Rotterdam represents "hard work and courage".From these two adjectives, it can be seen that even in the Netherlands, Rotterdam is a typical city where reality is greater than ideal.

Chelesen accompanied Aarau on the plane back to China, and Aarau looked out the window throughout the flight without saying a word.Chelesen was also used to this kid's personality, and when he was silent, it was as if he had entered a closed space by himself, and outsiders stopped.

Putting Aarau at the gate of the training camp, Chelesen, an irresponsible agent, left.Law? Van der Ley thought for a long time how he would find out, or whether he should just wait for his future teammates at the door.But before he really made a decision, he saw a man trotting out of the training camp.The man was the assistant coach of U21, and Aarau recognized it at a glance.

However, the reason for this kind of recognition at a glance is not because Lao van der Ley knows everything about U21 and is ambitious, but because the person who came is Van Basten.

As athletes in the Netherlands, you may not like the originator of Dutch football because Cruyff quit the Dutch national team halfway, but it is impossible not to admire and admire Van Basten anyway.

Lao van der Ley even looked at him in a daze. Van Basten, who is not even 33 years old this year but has retired for several years to become the U21 assistant coach, is still the same as before, wearing sportswear as if he is still active The genius that no one can catch on the green field doesn't even have gray hair on his temples.It's just that he didn't seem to be the unruly flying Dutchman on the court, his face was tense and serious to the point of seriousness during these few steps.

Then, he stopped in front of Lao van der Rey, looked up and down the goalkeeper who was praised as a genius by Dutch football, and suddenly smiled.

Aarau always remembers that his childhood was the brightest years of this man's career. Van Basten is undoubtedly his idol. He led the Netherlands to a European Cup championship.Most of the players in that period wanted to be forwards, and what they hoped was that they could be called the second "Van Basten". This is not an imitation, but a compliment.

Then there was this man, with obvious smile lines at the corners of his eyes, just a smile swept away the seriousness just now.He narrowed his eyes slightly like a lazy cat, looking casual and unrestrained, but the corners of his lips raised to tell the fact that he was in a good mood. Aarau suddenly remembered the rumor that Van Basten was short-sighted, but at this moment he However, he felt that he might be the one who was short-sighted. In his eyes, this man's hair even seemed to shine brightly like sunlight.

Awwhhhhhhhh this is a real idol halo! ! !

"Lao? Van der Rey?" Van Basten opened his mouth, and Aarau nodded as if he had just reacted. Basten couldn't help raising his eyebrows at such a reaction, and an aura of a domineering president rushed over his face instantly.Alao looked at the man in front of him belatedly, his back was as straight as ever, as if he would not be overwhelmed no matter what, "Hello, I'm Lao Vandre."

Basten turned around and waved his hand to follow up, "It's clear at a glance, I have recorded everyone in U21 here." He raised his finger and pointed to the top of his head, half-complaining, "How does it feel for an Amsterdammer to enter Feyenoord's territory?" Aarau was taken aback, and said honestly, "Um, I'm not from Ajax."

Basten paused, looked back at the recovering boy, shrugged inexplicably and looked straight ahead, "Indeed, you are not from Ajax, I forgot."

But of course Aarau didn't believe that he really forgot. This man always gave people the impression that he never talked nonsense, and some people even commented that Van Basten was extremely stingy with words.He retired because his knees and ankles could no longer support him to run, otherwise there was only one way to go in a wheelchair.The media has reported that he has vision loss, heart deficiency, and manic tendencies, but at least they have not said that he is aging to memory loss. Maybe they at least remember that he is only 33 years old.

...I probably haven't said it, Lao Vandre suddenly became unsure.

However, Aarau could not continue to think about the next development. Van Basten smiled abruptly, "I never thought that the old Kyle's child would rather go to Madrid, where the future is uncertain, than to go to Madrid, where the future is uncertain." Ajax plays football." This sentence successfully made Aarau straighten his back, and the excitement of seeing his idol just now disappeared instantly.

"My father never mentioned to me that he knows you so well." Although according to his age, he did know Van Basten who played for Ajax.

"Oh, but many things don't exist because he didn't tell you." Van Basten seemed to have expected all of these things, "For example, I have a good relationship with him, for example——"

"He actually always wanted his kids to play for Ajax."

-

Accompanied by Van Basten's last sentence "Welcome to Rotterdam" to him, Aarau walked into the dormitory where the players were training.The moment he opened the door and saw the roommate in the same room, Aarau confirmed that it was definitely Dutch.

...Except for the Dutch, there is no other country that has such a long and iconic face, right?

Aarau admitted that his appearance does not look like the style of the Dutch, and this one is typical.Before he could think of anything to say, his roommate grinned at him, "Oh, my roommate is a 17-year-old genius."

It sounds like he is very concerned about age. Sure enough, he even introduced himself, "I am Ruud van Nistelrooy who will be over-age in the European Youth Championship next year."

This is actually a way for him to tease himself. Although it is said to be U21, in fact the stipulated age is not the final year, but the year when the qualifiers start.In other words, the U21 mentioned in the European Youth Championship can actually be counted as the U23 required by the official competition.

It seems that the roommate does not seem to have a difficult personality to get along with, and Aarau is also very satisfied.For Van Nistelrooy, he knows it.But what you may know is not something that makes the person in front of you happy.

The Dutchman and Kluivert were born in the same year, the same month and the same day in the legend, but the circumstances are very different.The latter is a member of the Ajax youth team who is rooted in the young. He scored the winning goal in the Champions League final of the 94-95 season to help Ajax regain the top of the world. At that moment, he was not yet 20 years old.And now he was selected into the national team at the age of 21. At the same age, Ruud can only continue to compete with young people from various countries.

Van der Ley, Van Basten, Van Nistelrooy...

Although there are so many people with the surname Fan in the Netherlands, it seems that it is difficult to go smoothly, which makes people sigh.
