77 Hope
Beijing, China, National Television Headquarters.
Wei Zhen sat in front of the computer, frowning, his eyes fixed on the file on the keyboard.
He graduated from the most authoritative media school in China, and after graduation, he worked in the national television station, because he likes sports, especially football, so he directly entered the sports channel as a reporter for two years, and is now promoted to director, and for the first time independently responsible for the project.
In the next few days, he will lead the project team to Europe to follow up and report on several Chinese players studying abroad, including their daily life, training and their games.
But just a few days ago, a piece of news broke out in Europe that caught his attention, but not the slightest attention at home.
Van Basten's Ajax II team won.
The Dutch Cup saw a Dutch second division leader knocked out in the third round, and everyone was praising Van Basten.
Wei Zhen is not surprised by this, Van Basten is a legendary superstar, the former Dutch trio Rijkaard is already a world famous coach, and Gullit is also in charge of the Dutch national youth team, Van Basten's coaching results have naturally attracted media attention.
There is a good saying that there is no harm without contrast, and the media is happy to create some contrast between the Three Musketeers.
However, what really caught Wei Zhen's attention was a name mentioned in the report, Yang Yang.
This is a Chinese name.
Wei Zhen always felt as if he had heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it anyway, he could only say that he had been so busy lately that he hadn't taken many things to heart, and he must have missed something.
He specially went to the Football Association to find out, no one had heard of this name, let alone known that there was a Chinese playing in the Ajax youth team, and even a leader of the Football Association said impatiently, could it be overseas Chinese?
After that, Wei Zhen found the official contact information of Ajax through his colleagues in domestic football newspapers, called to find out, and the other party made it very clear that Yang Yang was indeed Chinese, seventeen years old, but refused to disclose more information.
It was only after being entangled by Wei Zhen that the other party revealed, "He is currently the most optimistic star of our team, including our technical director Van Gaal, including the second team coach Van Basten, all of us are optimistic about him, and we all hope that he can grow up in an environment that is not affected by the outside world." ”
After hearing this, Wei Zhen's whole person was excited.
He knew he had found a gem that was not taken seriously by the outside world.
What does it mean to be a rookie who has just turned 17 but is highly valued by everyone at Ajax?
Wish!
The hope that Chinese football lacks the most!
From yesterday to today, he stayed up all night collecting a lot of European news and made a plan, he hopes to take the program team to the Netherlands and Ajax to get to know the rookie.
He hopes that with the help of this show, fans across the country will know that Chinese football has also produced such a rookie.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhen took a deep breath, got up from his seat, picked up the documents on the keyboard, and walked to the leader's office.
Ten minutes later, in the office, the document was pushed back to Wei Zhen by the leader.
"Xiao Wei, your intentions are good, but you have to know that our Eurostar this time is very important, and we are going to report on those players in the top league, not the youngsters who play in the insignificant Dutch league."
"If we focus on him now, what if he can't kick out? What if Ajax is just perfunctory and doesn't pay attention to him at all? You have to think about the consequences and implications. ”
Wei Zhen spent ten minutes talking, but got a disappointing reply.
He wanted to remind the leader sitting in front of him that although the Dutch league is not as beautiful as the big four leagues, it is the pedal for countless top stars to enter the big four leagues, and although Ajax has fallen, it is still a European giant, and it is still the strongest club in the world in terms of youth training.
He's not stupid, he's able to tell the truth from the news, from the words of the other party.
How is it that a young man who can be so valued by Ajax does not deserve our attention?
What's more, he was only seventeen years old.
But Wei Zhen didn't say anything, because he knew that in the face of a leader who didn't understand football at all, no matter how much he said, he could only pick up the papers gloomily and leave the office.

…………
The Netherlands, Amsterdam South-East New Town, at the entrance of the school.
It was noon after school, and the students walked out of the school gate bustlingly, only to find that there was a cool luxury car parked on the side of the road opposite, and some students who knew a little about cars immediately recognized it as a Porsche 911, causing an uproar and attention.
Standing next to the Porsche were three young men in their twenties, one of whom was particularly tall and had long hair, and when he saw the students coming out of the school gate, he raised his right hand from time to time to stroke his long hair that curled slightly.
"Wow, it's Ibrahimovic."
"Ah, it's really him."
"Oh God, how did he come to our school?"
"There's another one with long hair, isn't it Maxwell?"
"Isn't that him?"
"Oh my God, why are they here?"
"Is that short-haired one the Fermaelen of the youth team?"
"Yes, it's him, I saw him last time I went to watch the second team."
"Why are they here?"
"Ibrahimovic himself is taller and stronger than he is on TV."
"It turns out that Maxwell looks sven and doesn't look like a Brazilian at all."
……
The students looked at them with a lot of discussion, and they were very surprised by the sudden arrival of the three Ajax players.
Although the school has a partnership with Ajax, it is usually young students who come to school, and Ajax's players basically do not come to the school, let alone a star like Ibrahimovic.
The students were talking and pointing across the road, but none of them dared to come forward to say hello.
The three people on the other side of the road also had different faces, Maxwell and Fairmaelen were a little unaccustomed to being watched like this, and they felt like small animals in a zoo cage, which was too embarrassing.
Only the Swedish center Ibrahimovic, who has always been in the limelight, is very happy, smiling at the students opposite him from time to time, and occasionally deliberately brushing his long hair, self-chic.
"Please, Zlatan, can you please stop flirting, I feel disgusting with so much wax." Maxwell turned his head away, and with an expression that he couldn't bear to look at directly, he grumbled in a low voice.
"You know a, that's what schoolgirls like these days."
"Don't you have Helena, do you?" Vermaren reminded.
"I'm just trying to make a name for myself in the minds of these students, what does it have to do with Helena?" The Swedes rightly asked rhetorically.
"Are you sure that all the girls nowadays like the boys who pour hair wax on their heads?" Maxwell was skeptical.
"Maxwell, are you doubting my keen sense of fashion?"
"I didn't say that." Maxwell shrugged.
"yes, besides, do you have an image to speak of?" Fermaren said.
The Swedish giant hissed, "I mean, are you two itchy skin?" ”
"I just can't get used to your narcissistic megalomaniac." Maxwell and Fermillen laughed in unison.
"You're jealous, you know?" Ibrahimovic reached out and stroked his long hair again, and flicked it behind his head, as if he could see the girls on the other side of the road screaming.
"There's nothing about your looks that makes others jealous." Maxwell continued to strike.
"That's right." Fermaren chimed in, "Otherwise, how can you explain that no girl wants to come over?" ”
"That's because you two guys are here, and you're in my way." The Swedish giant is pretty sure that it must be so.
That's the only way to make sense.
"Please, there are more people who are more handsome than you, such as Yang Yang, I think he is more handsome than you."
"He's more handsome than me?" Ibrahimovic looked at Maxwell suspiciously.
The Brazilian nodded solemnly, "If you don't believe me, ask Thomas." ”
Feeling the Swede's threatening and intimidating gaze, Fermaren hesitated for a while, "He is quite handsome, but you also have advantages, such as you are taller than him, stronger than him." ”
But even so, the Swedes are still very unhappy, not only unhappy in their hearts, but also written directly on their faces.
If the students across the road could hear the conversation between the three of them, I believe that countless people would have collapsed, is this still the tall Ajax star in their minds?
Are these three guys not bad teenagers who ran to the school gate for no reason to play handsome pickle girls?
Fortunately, at this time, Yang Yang, who was carrying a schoolbag and a ball, appeared.
In the school, he has become a unique scenery when he walks with a juggling ball, and many people will spontaneously give way when they see him, and when Yang Yang walked out of the school gate and was about to go to the station to wait for the shuttle bus from Detokmost, he happened to see the guy on the other side of the road who waved vigorously at him.
"Why are you here?" Yang Yang greeted him with surprise.
At this time, all the students who stopped at the gate of the school completely understood that these three stars were looking for Yang Yang.
Many people present also realized at this moment that they should reacquaint themselves with this Chinese.
"We came to you to surprise you, and by the way, let you invite us to dinner." Ibrahimovic laughed.
After knowing him for a long time, Yang Yang found that no matter how shameless things are, this guy can speak confidently, which should be regarded as an advantage.
Yang Yang knew in his heart that the first team and the second team were suspended for training today, and the three of them must have made an appointment to pick up people at the school gate, but would it be too high-profile to do so?
Since entering September and Ajax paid their salaries, Ibrahimovic and Maxwell have not continued to eat with Yang Yang, but they still go to the second team every afternoon to train with Yang Yang and Vermaelen.
It is rare that the team suspended training today, and the three decided to get together, and Yang Yang naturally would not object.
"Okay, where are you going to eat?"
"Just go to your uncle's Chinese restaurant, didn't you say that your uncle is much more skilled than you? Let's try it. ”
"It's too far, isn't it?"
"We have a car, what are we afraid of?" The Swede patted the front of the car vigorously and shouted very arrogantly, "Go, get in the car." ”
Soon, the four of them got into the car and drove away with the roar of the sports car in the envy of countless students.
