What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 26 Entering 2017

Before the Christmas holiday, the Eredivisie ushered in a 25-day winter break.

The Dutch U18 League also ushered in the winter break.

Notre Dame High School ushered in more than two weeks of Christmas holidays, which lasted from the week before Christmas to the first week of the following year.

Ajax U18 will regroup on January 2017, 1 and start preparing for the second half of the season.

Ajax U18 team won 13 games in the first half of the league, lost 1 game, and drew 4 games. It is currently ranked first in the U18 league, but it is only 18 point ahead of Eindhoven U1 team That's all.The position at the top of the list is not very stable.

But for Enzo, the good news is that Gakpo has left the PSV Eindhoven U18 team and promoted to the first team.

After losing a strong striker, PSV's scoring efficiency has also dropped significantly.

On the contrary, Ajax U18 has a goal machine for the youth team league.

Therefore, Enzo can be said to be full of confidence in winning the U18 league championship this season.

If there is anything that can hinder the U18 team from winning the championship.

Enzo believed that there was only one thing—that Lin Kedi was promoted to the second team.

The better Lin Kedi performed now, the more Enzo was afraid of this matter.

Although Enzo knows that this matter cannot be stopped, after all, Ajax has always had a tradition of reusing young players, and sometimes, they will reward some youth players and promote them to the first team to experience professional football .

For example, at the end of each season, the coaches of the first team will always select players from all echelons to the first team, let them participate in the training of the first team, and feel the atmosphere of the first team.

The Ajax club has always been this development model.

Enzo understands and knows that this method is the most suitable for Ajax's development model.

But it's hard to be rational when you're on the chessboard yourself.

And Enzo is very afraid to see the second team coach Marcel Keizer recently.

Because Marcel took the initiative to find Enzo before Christmas.

The conversation at that time, even though it is now January 1th, almost three weeks have passed, but Enzo still remembers it clearly.

"Enzo, how are you doing recently?"

"Marcel? Why do you have time to come to me? You must be very busy recently, right. After all, the second team lost so badly last week."

"I remember that we were still good friends back then. Even if we don't see each other very often now, we can still be regarded as ordinary friends. Why do we talk like this when we meet?"

"Forget it, what do you want me to do?"

"Of course I'm looking for you for work."

"Work? You mean?"

"Yes, it's the Chinese kid Lin Kedi. Both of our forwards are injured, and now we can only let the midfielder play as a center forward, so I think of our Ajax youth training camp. I found out, Enzo, you have brought out a good player, scored so many goals, you will definitely break the scoring record."

"No, you can't take him away! This season is when we have the best chance to regain the U18 league championship. U18 can't live without Lin! And he's not yet 16 years old, he can't play in the professional league!"

"Of course I know this. But it's only four months, I can wait until March 4, and I will promote him to the second team of Ajax."

"you can not do that!"

"Can't do this? No, of course I can do this. And this matter is not up to you, and I believe that Lin is definitely willing to be promoted to our second team."

This conversation ended here, because Enzo couldn't remember whether he left directly or left after saying something.

But Enzo himself knew that Marcel's last sentence was correct, because no youth team player could refuse to play in the professional league.

Enzo can only pray for one thing now, and that is that Marcel won't need Lin Kedi by then.

Let Lin Kedi stay in the U18 for a full season.Enzo prayed so much.

He hopes to win the first championship of his coaching career, but now it seems that this championship needs Lin Keene very much.
-
On January 1, the U17 team's first league game after the winter break.

Ajax U18s vs Going Eagles U18s.

In this game, Lin Kedi was placed in the center position.

However, in this game, Lin Kedi's performance was mediocre, and he was severely limited by the opponent's double midfielders.

But even so, Lin Kedi still sent a wonderful pass in the 75th minute of the game, assisting Filippo to score the only goal of the game.

Continue to maintain the top position in the U18 League.

After this game.

Enzo and the coaching staff had weekly meetings as usual.

"Enzo, I think there is a statistic that you should pay attention to."

"What data?"

Beria did not speak, but handed a report to Enzo.

Enzo took the report, and the first thing he saw was the words in bold.

[8 assists, ranking fourth in the team in assists]

"what happened?"

Enzo looked at Belia blankly.

Beria couldn't see the result he wanted from Enzo's face, and was a little discouraged, even a little shocked.

"Enzo, don't you think Lin's assists are also very good?"

"Fourth in the team, it's really not bad."

"No, no, Enzo, I don't think you realize Lin's comprehensiveness."

Enzo looked up at his friend.

"Comprehensiveness? Left winger, right winger and center forward. I have arranged for him to play this season. Isn't this comprehensive?"

"It's not the comprehensiveness of this kind of position change, but you should no longer use Link as a dedicated center. You should let him work hard towards an all-around center. He has this potential. His pass The ball is very good in the center, although he is only 1 meters now, but we have also measured the bone age and height, he can grow to about 76 meters, so he is definitely the embryo of a very good all-round center!"

At this time, Enzo began to seriously look at his old friend again.

"Beria, I know what you're saying, but the team's offensive tactics are like this, and Lin's goal efficiency is very high. Our offensive tactics, Lin can play a big role. In fact, his The shooting skills are much better than the other two in the frontcourt. So - you say don't let Lin shoot, let him pass the ball to Filippo or Mindre?"

As soon as Beria heard it, he knew that his good friend had no intention of adopting his suggestion at all.

"But—isn't the greatest significance of the existence of our youth team just to train players? This is what you told me not long ago!"

"However, the championship is just as important!"

Enzo suddenly roared, scaring all the coaches present.

But Beria was unmoved, because he discovered his old friend and stepped into a "wrong path" in his coaching philosophy.

Because the topic of whether the championship is important is basically a topic that does not need to be discussed in first-team professional football.But in the youth team, this is really a topic that needs to be discussed.

And the consistent philosophy of the Ajax youth team is-we train good players, and champions will come naturally.

Note that this is in order, and the Ajax youth coaches have always upheld the important task of training players.

As for the championship, that is a natural result.

However, Beria found that his good friend Enzo Ferrence had put the championship first.

This is really not a good sign.
