Chapter 5 Fast forward life ()

Since yesterday it was indoor training, Mark did not participate in the team competition. Today, the weather was clear and sunny, so Mark was able to participate in his first training with his teammates outdoors.

Mark's training is still hard, and he almost completed the double training volume of normal players every day before leaving the court. After a few days of training, Mark's serious attitude towards training has also won the recognition of the Ajax youth team players. Moreover, as Mark's Dutch language becomes better and better, he can simply communicate with his youth teammates. After about a month, Mark finally ushered in his first official game to join Ajax, and the opponent of the game was Grafsharp youth team.

Perhaps it was Mark's recent training state that conquered Basten, so Basten directly arranged for Mark to enter the starting lineup of this game and served as the starting center back with Vermullen.

Although Mark has been training with the team for a month, for outsiders, Mark has a tacit understanding with the entire team. After nearly a month of understanding with the Ajax Youth Team, Mark feels more and more that this legendary star is extraordinary. The potential of the players here is simply too high and excellent. Just like his current central defender partner Thomas Fermuren is a good central defender. His frontal defense ability is excellent. Although his height is not outstanding, his header is excellent, and his header is not inferior to any opponent. His speed is not very fast, but he can keep up with the rhythm of most opponents. His position feels excellent, but he lacks in the speed of filling up reactions. He is calm but not easy to mess with. Although he is two years younger than Mark, Mark does not feel that he is better than Vermuren except speed.

The match between the two sides began soon. Ajax was still his traditional 433 formation. This formation was Ajax's traditional formation and a representative formation with all attacks and defenses. Just like the Lamacia Youth Team was established by the Ajax Youth Team, and their founder Cruyff also came from the Ajax Youth Team.

Ajax's opponent Grafsharp Youth Team is a very weak team. Due to the suppression of the three Dutch giants, Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord, the living space of these small and medium-sized teams is to provide excellent young players for these big clubs to poach, and then these big clubs process these semi-finished products into finished products and sell them.

However, the lineup of the Grafsharp youth team can be described as terrible. The three Dutch giants have sent people to visit this team, but there is no player with a little potential that can make them look at. Last season, Ajax fed Grafsharp an 8-2 at his home court. This time, Ajax has a new player joining, which makes more than 500 Ajax fans watching the game on the sidelines look forward to winning the game with a big score.

"Is that person a Korean? Why haven't you seen it before?" A sharp-eyed fan discovered Mark's existence. Although Mark had been joining the team for a month, since the previous season had not started, Mark did not participate in the game, so there were not many fans paying attention to Mark. However, today is the first game of the youth team this season, and Mark also started, so he also aroused the curiosity of fans.

But if Mark knew that someone regarded him as a Korean, he would definitely reply, "You are the ones, your whole family is the ones."

In this game, Mark was wearing a No. 16 jersey. His task was to mark the forward Steve de Riddle of Grafsharp youth team. He is a Dutch local player. He is 1.8 meters tall and about five centimeters shorter than Mark. His characteristic is his speed.

Mark still has great experience in defending players. Because Mark's current physical condition is not very good, he is still not suitable for defensive power players. However, if you choose the speed type, Mark can let him taste the power of his hell-style training this month.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, Mark defended Riddle with close-knit defense. Basten told Mark to guard Riddle with close-knit defense before the game, and he would never have the chance to accelerate. Once the speed striker rushed, it would be difficult to defend.

Mark also remembered Basten's teachings. Riddle was depressed now. He didn't know where a yellow-skinned boy came from and was following him so closely. Now he was completely stared at by Mark. Just like that, something interesting happened on the court. Riddle, a player who was eating at speed, actually played with Mark. Riddle kept hitting Mark with his body and hoped to break a little bit of space and give himself the opportunity to play his speed advantage.

"Little guy, I want to play with me to see who is better." Mark met without showing any weakness. This is Mark's point. He is never afraid of challenges. Not to mention that Riddle's physical condition is not as good as Mark, even if he is really a power striker, Mark will face him without hesitation. Even if he is knocked down, he will use all means to prevent the opponent from breaking through him.

In the 20th minute, Riddle received the football again. He leaned on Mark and wanted to play a trick. He was going to imitate Ajax's Dutch Flying Skills's fame skill, Cruyff turned around to break through Mark. However, as soon as he used this breakthrough skill, Mark immediately hooked the football in front of him and then dribbled the ball and ran forward.

"What a great opportunity, Asian boy is rushing."

Now the fans watching the game were suddenly excited and cheered Mark on.

The players of Grafsharp youth team wanted to step forward to block Mark's attack, but Mark's biggest advantage was his speed. When Mark rushed up, the players of Grafsharp youth team could not catch up with Mark. Mark quickly broke through the half. At this time, Mark saw that there was no player in the left winger Babel's position to defend. Mark directly passed to Babel with his big feet. The white football rushed into Babel's arms like a naughty little girl. Babel took off the football and continued to drive the ball. Now there was no defense in front. He found that Mark's pass was so well-equipped. Babel directly shook the goalkeeper who abandoned the goal and shot directly to the empty goal. The football rolled into the goal by himself like a child who came home from school.

After scoring the goal, Babel rushed to the backcourt to celebrate with Mark. As a very low-key person, Babel rarely celebrated, but Mark's pass this time was really great. He was very grateful to Mark's pass.

Riddle, who was cut off the ball, now regrets why he had to learn something about Cruyff turning around. Not only did he not play well, but Mark directly cut off and completed an assist.

"Good, the beautiful one just said," Ajax's team members also ran to Mark to encourage him: "I didn't expect you kid to have such a skill."

Mark, who received an assist, was also stunned. He just wanted to find Babel's position with big feet, but he didn't expect it to be really passed and also created a single shot for Babel. "Can my footwork reach this level?"

But soon Mark was disappointed that in the next few long passes, Mark either kicked the football too far away from his players or was directly blocked by the opponent's players. He never found the precise footwork of the ball that assisted Babel before. Mark finally knew that the assist just now was because of his luck. He was confused at once and had nothing to do with his footwork. "It seems that there is still a long training road to go." Mark thought depressedly in his heart.

Head coach Basten also observed Mark's performance on the sidelines. To be honest, Mark's long pass after the opening game really scared Basten. It is rare to directly pass and assist in the middle circle. Although the players' strength is not yet mature and cannot be compared with the professional team's game, Mark is only eighteen years old this year, and he is about the same age as these players. This long pass simply reminds Basten of the first-team talented player Van der Fate.

However, Mark's performance next made Basten embarrassed, because Mark failed many times in the next game, and the pass position was far away. Basten also understood that Mark's previous performance was completely a lucky balloon.

At this moment, Ajax got a free kick with a good frontcourt position. Basten shouted to let Mark and Vermallen press the assist. Mark ran happily forward, and shouted to Vermallen while running: "Thomas, you should be quicker. If you don't rush up quickly, you will be snatched away."

"Don't worry," said Vermullen as an honest look: "We won't be able to take a corner kick unless we do."

Not to mention Mark, even a person who has had one or two years of experience watching football knows that Mark said this entirely because he wanted to adjust the atmosphere and tease the honest man of Virmulen. However, he didn't expect that Virmulen really had no sense of humor and suddenly broke the joke.

The corner kick was directly driven by Babel. The football flew into the penalty area like a express package to find his master. Vermall headed the ball and fell to Mark's feet. Mark was nowhere to be guarded by him now. He seemed to have an irreconcilable hatred with the football and directly hit the goal. The football flew directly to the opponent's goal like an arrow from the string. The goalkeeper of the Grafsharp youth team did not react at all. He stared at the football in the net with a confused look on his face.

"Ao..." After seeing Mark score, Ajax fans watching the game on the whole scene stood up and cheered. They thought Mark's ball was so handsome that they beat the opponent's goalkeeper to death.

Mark was also a little stupid after scoring the goal. The head coach in China did not let him push the attack at all. Originally, Mark didn't like to stay honestly in the central defender. He liked to push the attack like Lucio, but because the head coach insisted that all four defenders must not move in the half, he never scored a goal.

Vermallen, who was closest to Mark, took the lead and pushed Mark to the ground. Then the rest of his teammates ran over and pressed him on Mark. Mark enjoyed the ravages of his teammates at the bottom, but he was very happy.

"It's worthy of being an offensive football Netherlands. I actually scored the goal in the first game."

After his teammates left and pressed against Mark's body, Mark stood up and waved his fists to his opponents and returned to the backcourt to prepare for the next attack.

The final game ended with a huge gap of 8 to 0. Mark played another good assist in the final stage of the game and scored a header. Mark won two goals and one assist in this game, and overwhelmed Babel, who scored a hat-trick, won the best player of the game.

Mark's first official game was perfect. Although there were many problems on the court, such as excessive fighting range could easily cause fouls, frequent passes, and disobeying commands, etc., the flaws did not conceal the merits. The two goals fully demonstrated Mark's offensive talent and abundant physical fitness.

"Mark, after watching your game today, I think you can put the position before the midfielder position, and Rijkaard should be your best template."

That night, while accompanying Mark Ga, Basten told Mark that his position should not appear at the center back position. Basten suggested that Mark could transform his position into a midfielder. Arsenal's Vieira's midfielder should be the role model that Mark needs to learn now. Basten believes that Mark will become the potential of the new Black Swan Rijkaard.

Now Mark can understand some basic conversations. Murong Momo saw that he had no need to accompany Mark to the training ground every day. After all, it is not good to see a woman often appear in a men's team. Although it is very open to the Netherlands, as a Chinese, Momo still minds a little. Now that Basten is responsible for the extra training every night, Mark is naturally extremely excited. He will definitely benefit a lot from being able to get Basten's special guidance.

"Ah?" Mark was a little stunned after hearing Basten's words, and thought to himself: "Don't a player like Rijkaard just let me play the midfielder, but is this really good? Although I like to insert assists, it's just a playful nature. Moreover, the defense and offensive requirements of the midfielder are completely different from those of the central defender. Can I really adapt to this rhythm? I am still carrying a big burden now, but Basten's suggestion has to be said to be a good opportunity. Scoring two goals in today's game made Mark feel that he can really take his position. Maybe it's a good opportunity."

"I think the striker is good," Mark said his advice: "I think I can be as good as a coach on the forward line as a great shooter."

After hearing Mark's words, Basten was also thinking that he was not good at training defensive players, but now the most suitable position for Mark is not the striker. Because Mark's defense is already well done, and he is eighteen years old, if he put him in a completely unfamiliar position, it is very likely that he would directly ruin Mark's future. As a youth team coach Basten would not do this, and playing as a midfielder is different. Although it is also a new position, since Mark is a defensive player, as long as he trains hard, he can adapt to this new position as soon as possible.

"The forward is not suitable for you for the time being," Basten explained: "The back midfielder is the most suitable position for you now. Although I am a forward player, I think our team's attack line would not be so smooth without Rijkaard back then. The back midfielder is a position that can both attack and defend. Do you want to accept this challenge?"

"Is this?" Mark said after thinking for a while, "Okay, I'll take this challenge, coach now let's train for my new position."

Although Mark's Xiaojiu played very well, he did not know that the requirements for the players of the midfielder were originally greater than that required by the central defender. Perhaps it may not be difficult for you to become a defensive or offensive midfielder, but it is not easy to be a top-notch player. You should know that Rijkaard adheres to the essence of the Netherlands' full attack and defense style, and has all the advantages of Dutch players. He steals fiercely and ruthlessly when defending, and the midfield organization is orderly, and threading needles are like flowing water. He charges and scores during offense, especially his header has been successful.

Xun. In addition to the goalkeeper position, he can play a role in any position and is a masterpiece. Although Rijkald, among the "Three Dutch Musketeers" in the Milan era, was not as elegant as Gulit on the court and was not as unique as Basten, he was on the back line and closely cooperated with the other two swordsmen with his concise, fast, simple and practical football style, staged countless exciting games, which is worthy of a big book. If Mark really wants to become such a player, he needs to work harder than usual to train this new position.

However, even if he knows that his training will be very difficult in the future, he will not give up. Because his unyielding personality has created Mark's attitude of not giving up. His previous talent can generally be selected into the youth team of Chinese clubs. Now he can have a better training level and better coaches. With the help of "fast forward life", Mark will definitely become a Rijkaard-like player or even surpass him.
