Sun Dahai said: "This is exactly what I want to tell you. I'll ask someone to find you a copy of the various items and evaluation criteria for the selection test, and it will be sent to you in a few days.
Try it yourself first, and then judge whether you can pass it after a period of corresponding training.
If you are sure to pass, I will find someone to register for you in the Netherlands tomorrow in June. You can go there a few days in advance and directly participate in the selection. This is the simplest and most economical way."
Yang Xufei nodded repeatedly and smiled broadly.
Sun Dahai ignored him and continued: "But I estimate that you may not be able to meet their selection standards.
The test items at the Ajax youth academy are very scientific and reasonable, some are for speed and endurance, and some are for personal skills. In short, it is very difficult for you to meet all the standards.
You know, the Ajax youth academy recruits the best football talents in the world, so it can be said to be a talent training camp."
Yang Xufei was stunned by Sun Dahai's words, and he asked hesitantly: "Brother Dahai, when you say so, it is really possible. Take my most proud sprint speed as an example, I am considered the best among my peers in China.
, in front of Europeans, Americans and black people, it’s nothing.”
"Don't belittle yourself. You have your strengths, such as reaction speed and flexibility. You are no worse than others. I want you to be mentally prepared and take a good test after you get those test items."
Yang Xufei thought for a while and said: "Brother Dahai, I understand what you mean. If my test scores are too bad, I will give up. If my test scores are okay, I will try my best and find my dad.
I made it clear, I want money to participate in the youth training camp selection."
Yang Xufei's family didn't have much money, so they could still afford a round-trip air ticket to Europe, plus about a week's worth of food and accommodation.
"Having said that, I also thought of a way to help you better adapt to Dutch football and increase the probability of passing the selection." Old God Sun Dahai shook his legs on the ground, looking confident.
"Brother Dahai, tell me quickly." Yang Xufei asked eagerly.
"You still have to take a test first. If the test results are acceptable, I can help you contact a football school within the Ajax youth training system to participate in training for one semester, which is half a year.
In this way, you can not only accept the training of advanced football concepts in the Netherlands in advance, but also adapt to the environment there early and improve your language skills."
"Leave half a year early?" Yang Xufei's eyes lit up after hearing Sun Dahai's words.
Yes, going to the football school over there for half a year will not only prepare you for the selection of the youth training camp, but even if you are not selected and have to return home in the end, then this half a year is not a waste, at least it will be better than playing in the youth training camp.
The effect of team training for half a year is much better.
However, how much would it cost to attend a football school training in the Netherlands for half a year? Yang Xufei was unsure again.
Fortunately, Sun Dahai understood his concerns and continued on his own.
"I also asked clearly about the cost. Regular football schools in the Netherlands have their own sponsors, and there will also be subsidies from the Dutch Football Association. The tuition for one semester is about two hundred Dutch guilders, which is three to four hundred yuan. It is not
very expensive.
Moreover, the football school will provide free football uniforms, football shoes, drinking water during training, and insurance. If you can participate in the games held by the football school, there will be subsidies."
"So good!" Yang Xufei was a little confused.
With such good conditions, why haven’t any of my teammates in my team ever heard of anyone being interested?
Yang Xufei raised this question, and Sun Dahai explained to him where he really needed to spend money on training in Europe.
"Xiao Feizi, the habits in the Netherlands are different from those in our country. They implement a walking training system. Students go to the football school for about two hours of training every day, and they don't care about the rest.
In other words, you have to find your own house to live in, buy groceries, cook, wash clothes, and take care of your own life. Your training consumes a lot of money, and you must keep up with your nutrition. You cannot save this part of the cost.
of.
Therefore, the cost of your food and accommodation in Europe is your biggest expense. Only when you are selected by the youth training camp can you enjoy the free lunch and accommodation subsidies provided by the club on training days."
"Lunch is only provided on training days? Then where will I live?" Yang Xufei was dumbfounded.
The Capital Youth Team is a one-stop shop, with everyone taking care of everything including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Yang Xufei and the others just train well, and even have someone responsible for cleaning their jerseys and shoes.
"That is something you will consider after you enter the youth training camp. Let me first talk about your arrangements for the six months at the football school." Sun Dahai brought the topic back.
This matter cannot be rushed, it must be done step by step.
"If you decide to attend football school training, I will help you find a homestay. The male owner of this family works in the medical department of the youth training camp. His home is next to the youth training camp and can be reached within walking distance.
They will take care of your three meals a day, so don’t worry about nutrition. They are the most professional in this regard. But the diet in the Netherlands is different from our habits, so you have to adapt in advance.
The monthly cost of boarding there is 500 US dollars, less than 2,000 RMB. This is an all-inclusive price. The cost of living in the Netherlands is not low, and the cost of your special meals is very high, so the price is not very expensive.
His family has students from the youth training camp staying with him all year round, and his reputation is very good, you can rest assured about this."
Mark, the wife of a friend, takes care of the young players' lives at home, does laundry and cooking, and teaches English. She is very loved by the players.
Mark contacted him and he agreed to accept Yang Xufei's boarding next year at a very favorable price. He also asked him to help find the test information. This person is quite a friend.
It was precisely because of Mark's guarantee that Sun Dahai decided to mobilize Yang Xufei to train in the Netherlands now. With his life guaranteed, Sun Dahai felt free to let him go. Otherwise, how could the 13-year-old Yang Xufei take care of himself? He is not Sun Dahai.
.
The arrangement of the matter was basically like this. Sun Dahai told Yang Xufei all his thoughts. As for the cost issue, Sun Dahai also solved it for him.
"You go back and discuss it with your parents. If you are willing to go, make preparations as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about the cost. Your family will provide you with air tickets and pocket money. I will lend you the boarding fees and tuition fees there. I will wait for you later.
Once you become a big star, just give it back to me."
"Then what if I'm not kicked out?" Yang Xufei asked worriedly.
