I don't know when Ajax's talent day gradually diluted the purpose of talent selection, and evolved into a social event to maintain the emotions of the club and the fans.

Within 60 kilometres of Amsterdam, all players of the right age who wish to come can sign up, and all the club's top coaches and scouts will come to the event site to observe and select the best players to enter the final selection.

The Talent Day is a four-day selection event, with the first three days taking place and only those who pass the primaries will advance to the final selection on the fourth day, where the first-team stars and coaching staff will also be on hand to attend the event.

According to the official data given by Ajax this year, the total number of players participating in the first three days of the primary selection was as high as more than 1,500, a new high in recent years, and only a very small number of them can enter the final selection on the fourth day.

Around Amsterdam, Ajax has more than 50 scouts and partnerships with 24 lower-division clubs, which have a fixed number of places each year to recommend players and share information.

Almere is one of those twenty-four clubs.

According to the usual practice, Yang Yang and the other three recommended players do not need to participate in the first three days of the primary, but only need to go to Ajax's Detokmost training base on time on the fourth day to participate in the final selection.

In the morning, Dick Van Poel and John Lepp drove the car, and after picking up Henk Dimel and Nick one after another, they picked up Yangyang in the residential area north of Motor City, and then took the fifth exit to the highway and headed west.

Along the way, John Repp, who was sitting in the passenger seat, frequently turned his head and introduced the precautions of the talent day selection to the three players in the back row, focusing on telling them how to deal with the assessment, especially not to have psychological pressure and so on.

With Ajax's Tony Browns Slotz and Patrick Radrew already in front of them, both John Repp and Dick Van Poel know that Yang will join Ajax after the event, regardless of his results at the Talent Day.

Almere will receive a compensation for this, but more importantly, Slotz has promised to send two Academy stars on loan to Almere to help the satellite club be promoted to the Eredivisie as soon as possible.

Failing to keep Yang Yang made John Repp and Dick Van Poel deeply regret, but it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal to be able to exchange for two Ajax youth elites, not to mention that with Yang Yang joining Ajax, Almere's youth training influence is also a big boost.

If Yang Yang can play in the first team of Ajax, then he will inevitably become a living sign of Almere's academy.

John Repp was a little reluctant to leave the player, but he still had high hopes and encouraged Yang Yang to perform as much as possible on the day of talent, and strive to be able to enter the second team directly and play under Van Basten.

This is also the only purpose of Yang Yang's trip.

…………

…………

The last time they went to Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, they took the bus along the A1 highway into Amsterdam and went straight north, got off at the Dimen junction, played the game at Dimen, and then went west around the southeast new town to the home of Ajax.

But this time, after entering Amsterdam, they turned directly on the A9 to the west, then the A2 to the north, and got off at the Amstel junction.

"Look, that's Detokmost."

As soon as he got off the highway, John Rap stretched out his hand and pointed to the north side of the highway intersection, next to the road is a small river, and there are rows of trees on both sides of the river, but from the gap, you can vaguely see that there are green fields on the other side of the river.

Henk Dimel and Nick had obviously been here many times, and they were not surprised at all, only Yang Yang, next to the car window, stared intently in the direction of Tokmost, and his heart was very longing.

According to John Rapper, Ajax's Amsterdam Arena is just east of Detokmost, a walking distance of more than 500 meters, although the stadium is still relatively deserted around the stadium, it is believed that with the flow of people in the stadium, the development of the southeast new city will become the commercial core area of southeast Amsterdam in the future.

That's why Ajax chose to move their home stadium here in the first place.

After three intersections, we finally arrived at Detokmost.

The first to enter everyone's attention is a large rectangular parking lot, it is said that on every game day, a total of 2,000 cars can be parked here, but by the time Yang Yang and others arrived, the parking lot was already full.

After Yang Yang and the three of them got out of the car, they couldn't help but be secretly stunned when they saw this grand scene in the parking lot.

That's the attraction of Ajax.

"Ha, John, it's you."

Just when Yang Yang and the others took their luggage from the back compartment and were about to enter Detokmost, a loud shout came from behind them.

Everyone turned around, followed the prestige, and just saw a tall and fat middle-aged Dutch man hurrying to catch up, followed by several young players, looking at Yang Yang and the others with hostile eyes, obviously they were all here to participate in the selection.

"Hello, Hank, it's a pleasure to see you here."

John Rep casually pursed his lips after seeing the comer, but quickly squeezed out a smile and shook hands with the middle-aged Dutchman.

After the middle-aged fat man shook hands with John Repp and Dick Van Poel, his eyes quickly fell on the three Almere players, especially Yang Yang in the center, mainly because his black hair and yellow skin were too conspicuous.

"He is Yang Yang?" The middle-aged fat man pointed at Yang Yang and asked.

"Yes." John Repp replied.

The middle-aged fat man's eyes looked Yang Yang up and down very unscrupulously, and sighed regretfully, "It's too thin, you can't play professional football with such a body." ”

Yang Yang was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and looked up at the four players behind the middle-aged fat man, and found that they should be about the same age as himself, but each of them was not small, and the worst one was stronger than himself.

"Cut, can you play football well if you're strong?" Henk Dimel on the side retorted unconvinced.

"Of course you don't need amateur football, but if you want to play in a professional league, you have to have excellent physical fitness, even if the Ajax youth team selection does not pay attention to physical condition, but if you want to enter the second team, or even the first team, physical condition is an option that must be considered."

The one who spoke was a player in a sportswear next to the middle-aged fat man, who looked about the same age as Yang Yang and the others, but the tone of his voice was very arrogant, as if he didn't look at Yang Yang and the others at all.

When Yang Yang looked at him, it was easy to see contempt in his eyes that looked at each other.

What is the origin of this man?

Regarding the selection criteria for youth training, there has been a lot of controversy in recent years, looking at the body or the technique, which has always been the focus of controversy in Dutch football, and it is difficult to judge which is better or worse in the end.

Choked in front of the other party, Henk Di Melton was also unhappy, and sneered: "It's as if you were in the Ajax youth team." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the middle-aged fat man laughed, pointed to the player who spoke just now and said: "Don't say it, Vicente really stayed in the Ajax academy for four or five years, and it was not until half a year ago that he failed to pass the assessment due to some objective factors, and then returned to our team." ”

Henk Dimel's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he was embarrassed, he didn't expect that the person who choked with him was an Ajax academy player, and he had been there for four or five years, this strength was definitely not simple.

The middle-aged fat man obviously did not put Henk Dimel in his eyes, and his eyes still fell on Yang Yang, but he found that this Chinese was not moved after hearing that there were Ajax academy players among his players, and he was still calm and calm, which made him angry for no reason.

'I've heard of you, you're good in amateur games, you're fast, you're good at breaking, but it's not enough to get into Ajax's academy, and at De Tokmost, they don't just care about the performance on the field.

"I know." Yang Yang replied lightly.

He did know that whether it was Radru and Arroyo, or John Rep, they had mentioned this to Yang Yang.

Playing well on the pitch can be due to a variety of reasons, such as a player who is precocious and physical, which is very dominant in the youth team or amateur game, but when it comes to the second team, or even the first team, when he loses these advantages, he is completely beaten back to his original shape.

As one of the clubs with the highest level of youth training in the world, Ajax's selection requirements are naturally quite high, which can be seen from Almere's semester assessment, which is only Ajax's satellite club.

Yang Yang knew it in his heart, but he replied so calmly, but it made the middle-aged fat man not know how to pick it up, and many words that had been prepared in advance had to be swallowed back into his stomach, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and left with someone.

However, the player named Vicente deliberately stopped when he passed in front of Yang Yang, and looked at the Chinese in front of him defiantly, his eyes showing jealousy.

"Emmanuelsen's idiot is just a half-baked left wing-back, defending is not his specialty, you're lucky to meet him, but in the afternoon matchup, you'd better not run into me, otherwise you'll ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yang had already interrupted him with a smile, "As soon as you say that, I hope to meet you even more." ”

Vicente's eyes flashed with anger, and after nodding at Yang Yang through gritted teeth, he quickly caught up with his teammates.

Henk Dimel and Nick felt relieved when they saw Yang Yang choking each other, isn't it just an academy player who was eliminated by Ajax? As for looking down on people like this?

Although both of them admit that even the eliminated players of the Ajax Academy are better than them, and they do have the capital to look down on them, but they still feel very angry when they are ridiculed like this in person, but they can't choke in person.

John Lepp on the side glanced at Dick Van Poel helplessly, then turned to Yang Yang and the others, and said with a wry smile not unapologetically: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me." ”

Yang Yang was stunned, what does this have to do with John Rip?
