3 month 17 day.

Europa League quarter-final second leg.

Ajax vs Copenhagen.

At this time, the Amsterdam Arena, the home team auditorium.

Lin Kedi is here to watch the match.

Speaking of the reason why Lin Kedi came to watch the Europa League knockout match of the first team on the night of the middle of the week.

The time has to go back to a day ago.

"The club invites outstanding players from all echelons to the Amsterdam Arena to watch Ajax's Europa League knockout match at home."

After the training on Wednesday night, Lin Kedi was planning to go back to the dormitory, but was left behind by Enzo.

"Coach, so am I the only one on our team? Or is there someone else?"

"The tickets for this game are very popular, so the U18 team invited you alone, but the club also issued you a ticket, and you can go with one of your family members or friends."

"But tomorrow's training—oh, yes, tomorrow is rest!"

"Yes, go. Feel the atmosphere of the first team game, it will make you fall in love with Ajax even more!"

After getting the ticket, Lin Kedi thought to himself, there is only one ticket, and it is not appropriate to give it to any of his parents. Moreover, this is not the game I play, Lin Kedi still hopes that his parents can watch him participate in professional games 's first game.

As for this game, Lin Kedi's parents are not fans either, so they probably wouldn't want to watch it either.

However, after Lin Kedi finished thinking here, he still called his parents, but his parents were really not interested, and asked Lin Kedi to watch the game with his friends.

Thus, Lin Kedi thought of Filippo.

It just so happens that he has been depressed recently, so let him watch a game to cheer him up.

"I know, you want to quit the youth team. But you are still an Ajax fan."

Filippo looked at Lin Kedi, who had just said such a thing without thinking when he entered the dormitory. He was puzzled, but he still answered.

"Yeah, I'm an Ajax fan."

"Then I have a ticket for tomorrow's game, do you want to watch it?"

"Really? It's hard to get tickets for tomorrow's game! Where did you get them?"

Lin Kedi explained the ins and outs of this ticket.

"That's good, we just go to watch the game together tomorrow. This game is very crucial."

"Why did the coach tell you that this game is very important and crucial?"

"Lin, you really don't pay attention to the first team. This is the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, and in the first round, Copenhagen won 2-1. In addition, the team's Dutch Cup this season With an early exit, the league is already 6 points behind Feyenoord, and PSV Eindhoven is only 1 point away from catching up. That's why this second round of knockout is so important. At least we are not out of the Europa League, and we had an away goal in the first leg. So this second leg at home is very interesting."

"Hey, Filippo, you do love the Ajax first team more than I do."

"Of course, I am a die-hard fan. Seriously, you are the top card of Ajax U18 anyway, you can't even recognize the first team players."

"Eh-I can only say that before I came to the Netherlands, I didn't seem to have watched the live broadcast of Ajax games. I watched more Premier League and La Liga games."

"That's just right. When I arrive at the scene tomorrow, I will tell you about our Ajax first-team players."
-
game day.

Lin Kedi and Filippo are already in place.

"It's so annoying. The signal in the Amsterdam Arena is too bad. I can't access the Internet here, and I can't read the starting lineup."

"Won't you know when the game starts?"

"Speaking of which—hey! It's on the big screen."

Lin Kedi followed Filippo's line of sight and looked over.

The big screen on the stadium has released Ajax's starting players and formation diagrams for this game.

"Sure enough, it's still 433."

"Of course, we at Ajax will always play attacking football!"

Seeing Filippo change from his previous decadent appearance, Lin Kedi was quite relieved as a friend.

"Lin, just right, let me tell you about these starting players one by one."

"First of all, our main goalkeeper No. 24 Andre Onana. He is a youth training player of Barcelona. He was transferred to Ajax in the winter window of 2015. At the beginning, he played in the Netherlands. , although he was quickly promoted to the first team, but he was only the second goalkeeper, and then he played back and forth between the first team and the second team. After all, our main goalkeeper at that time was the Dutch national goalkeeper Cillessen. And in 2016 After Cillessen transferred to Barcelona in the summer window of last year, Onana gradually became the main goalkeeper of the first team."

"You know this information so well?"

"Of course, besides playing football, what I like to read most is the profiles of various players."

"Then maybe you can be a scout or an agent in the future, and go around to discover young players."

When Lin Kedi said this casually, Philipo also smiled, and then continued.

"Number 26 is our left back, Nick Vergoville, and he is one of the few players born in the 80s in the first team. He was a youth player for Sparta Rotterdam and then moved to Albion. Kemar, who stayed in Alkmaar for 4 seasons, only moved to Ajax in the 14-15 season."

"No. 36 is our central defender, De Ligt, the youngest player in the first team and the youngest starter, he is only 17 years old now! He was still playing in the second team in the first half of the season , and was promoted to the first team in October, you see, in just a few months, he is already the absolute main force in the defense! He is also our youth training player."

"I'm 17 years old and still in the youth training, so haven't you been teammates with him?"

"Um—unfortunately not, because De Ligt jumped directly to join the U14 team when he was 19 years old, skipping our U18 directly."

"I'm going to be so good? I joined the U14 at the age of 19? I thought it was good to join the U15 at the age of 18. I didn't expect it to be different from the real genius."

"I can't say that because of De Ligt's height. When he was 14 years old, his height was almost at the level of a U19 team defender. When physical confrontation came up, he naturally joined U19 directly. And he joined in 08. Ajax youth training, didn’t jump to U15 until 19, how many years of professional football training you have received before, and you have not received these trainings before. Let me tell you, you are more perverted and more Be a genius!"
