Chapter 3 New arrival
"Except for the first team, all other echelons of Ajax belong to the youth team sequence, including our second team in the Dutch second league. In fact, it is also called the Ajax youth team (Young Ajax). Below the second team is what we commonly call the U19 youth team (Ajax juniors). Below this team are all echelons from U7 to U18, and each age has an echelon. Those who perform well in all age echelons will enter the U19 youth Team, this U19 youth team will represent Ajax in the UEFA Champions League Youth League and the Dutch youth team league. Of course, these are all youth team level competitions. If you want to play in the professional league, then you have to work hard to get promoted It's the second team—I'm more used to calling it the second team, otherwise it will be confused."

"Then—Mr. Van der Sar, will I go to the U15 team?"

"No, no, Lin, although you haven't played football before, your physical fitness is too good and your talent is too good, so we will let you directly enter the U18 echelon, which is the highest level in the youth echelon. . Next I hope to hear good news about you entering the youth team, and I believe it will not be long."

Subsequently, Van der Sar personally brought Lin Kedi to the U18 echelon training ground of the Ajax Youth Academy.

This is a large training field, which consists of 4 small fields divided into squares. Next to these four small fields is a standard football field.

However, there are no stands on both sides, only some simple benches as substitutes.

Lin Kedi looked around curiously.

At this time, Enzo Sirens, the head coach of the U18 team, saw the two men stepping into his territory.

He didn't know Link Kedi, but he was very familiar with Van der Sar next to Link Kedi.

So far away, as soon as he noticed it, he immediately trotted over.

"Edwin, you rarely come to our place? You go to the green zone every time. We are obviously only less than 10 meters away from the green zone! But you have only been here this season and can count on one hand How many times have you come here?"

Seeing Van der Sar, Enzo immediately complained.

Van der Sar did not answer Enzo first.

Instead, he turned his head and said to Lin Kedi: "The green zone is over there-the U19 youth team, the top of the Ajax youth team system, and many players there are already regulars of the second team. It will not go to the second team at all, but will be promoted directly to the first team."

Enzo was very surprised to see Van der Sar take the initiative to talk to the black-haired Asian kid beside him.

"Edwin, this is—"

"Enzo, you don't pay much attention to the news of your own team. The talented boy we just signed today—"

"Where is it, I have set the Ajax youth team as my main business, and I can receive reminders whenever there is a new release, but I haven't received it—"

"This news was posted on the homepage."

"Main—the home page? You mean the Ajax home page?"

"Yeah, so, I brought him over to you. His name is Kedi Lin—a very, very talented player—"

Enzo came back to his senses, and he immediately realized that the young man in front of him must have extraordinary talent to be so valued by Van der Sar.

Personally bring young players to the training base of the youth team, and post the official news on the team's homepage.These actions all illustrate one thing, that is, this Asian boy must have a very top talent to be treated like this.

Enzo couldn't wait any longer.

But Van der Sar stopped him immediately.

"You wait first, I still have something to tell you, Lin, you stay here for a while."

After saying that, Van der Sar led Lin Kedi to the side.

"Lin was born on March 2001, 3, and he is only 29 years old this year. When we found him, he played as a left winger, but it is obvious that he is now 15 meters tall and has a well-proportioned figure. We have measured the muscle mass. He has good physical fitness, and it is not a problem to play as a center forward. It is up to you to train him. But there is one thing I want to explain—"

Enzo was very happy to hear it, because the U18 echelon's forward line is weak, and now there is such a highly valued talented forward, which is of course a very good thing for the U18 echelon.

but--

"He has never been exposed to youth team training in professional football before. Therefore, his physical fitness and a lot of teamwork, he is actually very lacking-"

"How's his ball feel? How's his speed? Or I ask, where is his genius reflected, so that you pay so much attention to a 15-year-old player who has not been exposed to professional football training?"

"His feel on the ball, his speed, that's all I can say. The first time I saw his training video, I thought I saw Messi playing. The feel of the ball, and the frequency of his feet are amazing. Incomparable, and his speed and physicality, at his age, that's like Messi!"

Enzo squinted at Van der Sar.

"Edwin, are you serious?"

"Of course, but he still has many shortcomings. I hope you can help him quickly adapt to professional football training. This is the player I am most optimistic about in these years."

Said Van der Sar patted Enzo on the shoulder, and then walked towards Lin Kedi.

"Next, I will hand you over to U18 head coach Enzo Sirens. Your luggage, our staff has already put it in your dormitory. Here is the key to the dormitory, with the house number on it— —One more thing, there will be someone from the club to take you to the school to report tomorrow. Lin—”

Van der Sar looked at Lin Kedi.

"From today, you officially join Ajax."

After speaking, he stroked Lin Kedi's hair.

The rest of the time will be left to Lin Kedi and Enzo Sirens.

"Okay, Lin Kedi—in U18, most players call me coach, and you can call me that too. However, I have never coached Asian players before, so are you Japanese or Korean—"

"I'm Chinese, coach, just call me Lin."

"Chinese? I remember that there seemed to be a Chinese player in the first team of Eindhoven a long time ago. It seems that our reserve team also signed a Chinese player two years ago, but it seems that they went to Portugal a year later. Now there seems to be one in The Hague. A Chinese player. Now we finally have a Chinese player too."

Lin Kedi was also watching Enzo when he was talking. He noticed that Enzo spoke quite casually, and he seemed to be a very easy-going person.

"Okay, I heard Mr. Van der Sar talk about your situation, but I still have to look at some of your specific situations, so there will be some basic moves that you need to do. Today is U18 The rest day, so the players are not here-so I said that Mr. Van der Sar is really not familiar with us, otherwise I can let you get acquainted with the players today-not to say so much, let's do it first .”

then--

40 minute later.

Enzo held Lin Kedi's shoulder excitedly.

"Lin! You are a genius! No, no, not a genius, but a super genius!"
