Chapter Eighty-Nine Chinooks and Hollanders(1/2)
When the team finished training and returned to the Netherlands, Adriansey finally waited for news that made him happy. He had always been optimistic about the young Dutch midfielder Van Persie was officially loaned to Warrendam until the end of the season.
This deal was actually won by Adriansse using his personal relationship, but for the Feyenoord club, they were eager to get rid of this burden and the troublemaker.
Rice's evaluation of Van Persie only has one sentence: "A genius full of variables." This means that this rebellious player, due to his personality, is likely to become a stunning genius like Cruyff, and is likely to sink into it.
Because he once said: "Here (Feyenoord), they never regarded me as a player. I should get a lot of happiness when playing football here, but I never!" He expressed his dissatisfaction with head coach Van Mawek, and was listed as "extremely difficult to deal with" by the Dutch media. Van Persie no longer cared about what others viewed him. He just wanted to play happily, but this requirement was not met at Feyenoord. Because his relationship with coach Van Mawek was no longer incompatible, he basically lost the opportunity to play in the first team, and he could only represent Feyenoord's reserve team and youth team. This is unacceptable for a person who is criticizing the No. 10 jersey of the Netherlands National Olympic Team, not to mention that he was once named the Dutch Premier League of the Year at the end of 2002.
However, for Adrians, who is good at discovering and cultivating young players, the talent shown by Van Persie is obviously more attractive than his personality. Moreover, what he is referring to at Feyenoord does not mean that he is the same in Warrendam. Adrians knows the key to the problem and knows how to solve it. Although some Warren Dam fans protest the arrival of the "notorious" Van Persie outside the club's gate, Adriansie only believes in his own vision.
※※※
In the first training class when he returned to the Netherlands, Adrians introduced Van Persie to all the players, but when everyone saw the cold and expressionless face, they frowned. Only Zhang Jun smiled from the bottom of his heart when he heard the head coach say that Van Persie was the main midfielder of the Netherlands National Olympic Team, because the team now lacked a frontcourt organizer, so Adriansie often asked Kozell and Salden to step forward in the defensive midfielders.
Now that the No. 10 of the Dutch National Olympic Team is here, all problems have been solved. Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but did not notice the bitter-faced teammates around him.
Van Persie, who was standing beside Adrians, naturally saw the expressions of all the "teammates". He just snorted softly and turned his face to the side. It was the same everywhere, whether it was Feyenoord or Warren Dam.
※※※
After the training, Van Persie took a shower and changed clothes alone and left early. He also had to drive back to Feyenoord's own home. Seeing Van Persie close the door and leave, the people in the locker room breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became much more active than before.
"Hey! Gith, what are the arrangements for the evening?"
"Tonight? I'm going to accompany Rowling."
"Oh!" Someone started to cheer.
Zhang Jun looked at his teammates who were making trouble and felt something was wrong. He touched Kozel beside him: "Seth, why do everyone act so active?"
"Isn't Warrendam's locker room just like this?" Kozel was a little strange.
"Oh, yes." Zhang Jun reacted, "So, everyone's behavior just now was a bit abnormal, why..." Zhang Jun was puzzled.
"It's all because of this kid," Kozel said.
“Robin?”
"Yes, Robin van Persie." Kozel nodded, "He is a famous bad boy in the Netherlands. If there is the most annoying person in the football circle, it is him."
"You seem to know him very well."
Kozel looked up at the air conditioner in the locker room. "Zhang, there is a story that I experienced personally, do you want to listen to it?"
Zhang Jun nodded, "You talk."
"That's when I was with the Ajax Youth Team. In the first half of 2002, our Ajax Youth Team and Feyenoord Youth Team met in the semi-finals of the Dutch Youth Cup..."
...
This is just a Youth Cup, but because the Ajax youth team has never lacked geniuses, many Ajax fans rushed to the scene to cheer for the team. Because of these people, plus two heavyweight teams in the Dutch football world, the atmosphere on the scene was tense and unpleasant.
In the end, the Ajax youth team where Kozel was located defeated Feyenoord youth team and reached the final. It was a very fierce game, with the scenes of people falling over and over the horses everywhere. Coupled with the loud shouts of fans outside the field, the referee became the busiest person. After showing thirteen yellow cards, the game finally ended.
But some fanatical Ajax fans rushed into the stadium and provoked Feyenoord's players. Some of Feyenoord's players were also very uneasy, and they were full of anger when they lost the game. Both sides fought each other, and Chilean international Akuna was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. In this fight, a young man was the most active. He was like a fighting dog, and he was on the way to meet people. He faced several people alone without retreating. His head was hit by a beer can, and his face was covered with blood. Finally, he left the stadium under the "protection" of several Ajax players. Even so, his face was covered with blood, and he still turned around and turned around and shouted at the fans who were trying to catch up with him, yelling language that no one could hear. It was really like a mad dog.
...
"That person is Van Persie." Kozel took his eyes back, "I was also in it. He said he was protecting him from leaving, but in fact he should have dragged him away. Judging from his posture, he didn't want to leave the 'battlefield'. He scolded and jumped, trying to break free from us. I was kicked by him, to be honest, that kick was really cruel..."
I really didn't expect that he would have such an experience. Zhang Jun was stunned and asked, "Then he should know you, right?"
Kozel shook his head: "I don't know. In such a crazy situation, he might only have anger, right? How could he remember the irrelevant things around him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and Van Persie hurriedly turned back. Everyone suddenly became quiet, and they were silent unnaturally doing irrelevant things.
Van Persie came to his cabinet, opened it, and took out a small bag. It turned out that she had forgotten something. Zhang Jun and Kozel watched him lock the door again, and then turned away. But when they passed by the two, he stopped unexpectedly and looked at Kozel with a cold look, and Kozel also looked at him.
Louis Link stood up quietly. He was ready. Once the two men started fighting, he rushed forward and pulled them away. Captain Holwikin was also nervous. He was about to scold Van Persie, but the other party had already spoken first.
"I said why do you look so familiar? It turns out that it's you, the nosy guy." His tone was very unfriendly.
But Kozel smiled: "I'm just afraid that they will beat you to a normal person, which will be very unfavorable for Ajax."
Everyone could hear this. In fact, it was a satirizing Van Persie's head was abnormal. Sure enough, Van Persie's face changed, and the faces of several people behind him also changed. But unexpectedly, Van Persie did not pounce on him and wrestled with Kozel as rumored. He just glared at Kozel fiercely, "Don't expect me to thank you and your nosy teammates, Seth Kozel." Then he turned around again, leaving a room with a breath of breath.
"Do you meddle in other people's business?" Kozel murmured to himself as he looked at the closed door.
Zhang Jun didn't understand very much. Since Van Persie is a legendary bad boy, then... "Why did you deliberately anger him just now?"
Kozel lowered his head and put his T-shirt on his body: "I just want you to know that rumors are sometimes unreliable." He stood up and said to Zhang Jun, "Do you want to have supper? I'll treat you."
"You treat me? Is there anything to be happy about?" Zhang Jun also stood up.
"A great guy came to the celebratory team." Kozel smiled.
※※※
During dinner, Zhang Jun learned something about Van Persie from Kozel.
He is a child from a single-parent family and has been living with his father. No wonder he has a strange temper. At the same time, he also knows that the reason for the conflict with the head coach Feyenoord is the position issue. Van Persie likes and is best at the front midfielder, but Van Mawek put him on the left side for tactical reasons. Even so, he is not the first choice and often competes for a place with Dutch international Ruerlin. The young Van Persie naturally would not consider so much. He only knows that he is not the main force and cannot play in the game, so he violates the team rules and violates the head coach's tactical intentions to express his dissatisfaction. Fighting against the head coach, he can get fewer and fewer opportunities to play.
In May 2002, Feyenoord won the League Cup. In the following season, the team went to Turkey to conduct a large number of training. However, Van Persie was not used to living in another place and escaped hard training many times. So when he was competing with Real Madrid for the UEFA Super Cup, Van Persie was driven back to the Netherlands by Van Mawek. In this way, when he was just 18 years old, he lost a chance to compete with world superstars. Van Persie's fate took a sharp turn for the worse, and many times he was transferred to the reserve team to play against the youth team. Even though he was named the best newcomer of the year at the end of 2002, his situation still did not improve completely.
In fact, since Van Persie debuted, he has always been a young man. In the second half of 2002, Feyenoord won a free kick at home with William II. Feyenoord won a free kick at the end of the first half. According to conventional rules, the free kick was taken by the captain's free kick master Van Huyedock, but at this time Van Persie suddenly grabbed the ball from Van Huyedock and placed it on the free throw point to express that he wanted to complete the free kick. Fortunately, Van Huyedock is a good man, showing his demeanor at this time and does not care much about Van Persie, who is not well-informed in the world. However, the fans outside the court could not bear it. They were extremely disgusted with Van Persie's behavior of being disrespectful at a young age.
Originally, Arsenal planned to buy him during this winter break, but Feyenoord's reserve price of 8 million euros made Arsenal back and is still in the wait-and-see stage. Van Persie was completely desperate about the club. He believed that the club deliberately made a difficult move in terms of price and prevented him from going abroad. That's why he accepted Warrendam's loan contract because he only wanted to leave Feyenoord. His treatment of playing football at Feyenoord was even the first professional contract he signed when he was 16 years old.
Zhang Jun looked at Kozel in surprise, "How could you know so much?"
"It's no secret, it's all in the newspapers! Now all over the Netherlands know that there's a super trouble called Robin Van Persie, and he's here to Warrendam. Many people are waiting to see our good show. They think that after the crazy first half of the season, the team will be full of variables because of his arrival."
"Then why does the coach still have to rent him?"
"Because no one doubted his talent," Kozel replied.
When the two returned to their residence, they found that workers were busy in Ochu's house.
Kozel approached and said, "What are you busy with?"
"Check the route and organize the room. Van Persie will move here tomorrow morning. So we must be done tonight. The club will notify us in the evening. Some of them are busy!" The worker said a few hurriedly, and then went to work on his again.
"Maybe we will have a very interesting neighbor." Kozel said to Zhang Jun as he looked at the busy figure.
※※※
At the end of the next morning, Van Persie indeed drove his car from the parking lot to the door of the apartment. His way of opening the door was different. After unscrewing the lock with the key, he inserted his hands into his pockets and stamped the door with his feet. Then he returned to the car to retrieve two bags and entered the room. But it was not finished yet, and after a while he came out again, this time he carried a set of mini speakers out of the trunk of the car.
Zhang Jun and Kozel watched him busy in and out at their doorstep. Zhang Jun wanted to help, but as soon as he spoke, he saw the other person turning his head to stare at him, and immediately retracted his rest.
"What do you want to say? Chinese guy." His tone was still very unfriendly.
"Chinese guy?" Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment. This was the first time someone called him that. "Just want to express a welcome, Dutch guy!" He rushed back without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Van Persie smiled unexpectedly. His handsome face was indeed more suitable for a smile. "That's right, Chinese. We will be neighbors in the future, but don't expect us to live in peace. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the old guy to complain to me at any time."
"Why should I complain to you?" Zhang Jun was puzzled.
"Whatever you want." Van Persie said, then entered the house and closed the door.
Kozel shrugged at Zhang Jun and smiled helplessly, and then the two planned to go back to their homes. At this moment, a very loud and very explosive rock music came from Van Persie's house, which scared the two of them.
※※※
After Kozel understood, he covered his face and shook his head and smiled bitterly, while Zhang Jun was in a daze at the apartment.
"It's BLUR's "SONG2"," he murmured.
※※※
Van Persie is indeed a genius. Adrians made the team's 442 parallel positions for half a season, and added a midfielder, removed a defender, and changed to a 352 formation. Kozer and Salden returned to their familiar defensive midfield position, Van Persie was an attacking midfielder alone, while Herville and Wen continued to play on both sides.
In daily training, because Van Persie gets too many balls, the effect is not obvious. As a midfielder, not only can you know how to play, but more importantly, you can create opportunities for your teammates. However, when Van Persie gets the ball, he will enter the penalty area and shoot, and ignore Zhang Jun and Hener, who are in the open.
Zhang Jun has a good temper and didn't say much. But Hener couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted at Van Persie: "Hey, aren't you guys looking? Zhang Jun and I both ran out of the gap, why don't you pass the ball!"
Van Persie shook her ears disdainfully: "Let's talk about it when you have the ability to catch my pass."
"What did you say?! Boy!" Hener is a black player. He has a bad temper and is like a piece of coal that will burn when it encounters fire.
But Van Persie ignored him and turned around and left.
"Damn it, stop looking down on me! I scored 8 goals in the first half of the season. Where are you guys? Reserve team? Haha!" Hena sneered at Van Persie, as if he had deliberately stabbed the other party's pain.
※※※
Sure enough, Van Persie stopped, but he paused for only a few seconds and walked forward again, ignoring Herner's provocation.
Zhang Jun looked at Van Persie's back and remembered the past events that Kozel said the night before yesterday. He suddenly felt that as a 20-year-old back, he was so lonely.
"He has no friends, only three people are closest to him. Apart from that..." Kozel said beside Zhang Jun, "Apart from that, he has no friends."
"Aren't you friends?" Zhang Jun wondered why Yu Kozel was so interested in Van Persie.
"Me?" Kozel couldn't help laughing. "I'm just a nosy guy."
Because of the conflict between Van Persie and Hener, training was terminated early. Adriance called everyone together, but he did not criticize anyone, but just told everyone that the day after tomorrow is the quarterfinals of the Netherlands Cup. This is the biggest hope for Warren Dam's championship this season. He asked the players to do their best and must win it.
"For those who have hindered the tactics of the whole team, I will replace him without hesitation!" At the end, he added this sentence with a slight slightest addition.
※※※
In the 8th-finals of the Netherlands Cup, Warrendam challenged the super team Breda away. As the defending champion and all three fronts this season performed well, many people naturally ranked Warrendam as the favorite to win the Dutch Cup, with the eight-loss and one-loss ratio being second only to three traditional strong teams Ajax, Feyenoord and Eindhoven.
As the most promising event to win the cup, the club does not allow it to give up casually, and the players are very confident, but...
