Chapter 34 Heavy Artillery(1/2)

"Do you have any special feelings about scoring a goal in the Dutch Premier League? Excited, excited, or calm?" Li Yan raised the first question "carelessly".

"Excited, a little excited." Zhang Jun replied, this question was related to him.

"Yes, I was so excited that I got up early in the morning and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror to narcissism, haha!" Yang Pan said with a smile.

"Go! Now I'm accepting an interview. Don't destroy my glorious image in front of domestic fans!" Zhang Jun glared at him.

Yang Pan smiled even more fiercely.

Li Yan and Wang Hua also laughed. As expected, they were two very relaxed boys. They didn't think about anything, they just wanted to play football, and everything was simple.

After everyone finished laughing, Li Yan continued to ask: "I saw you and Eindhoven on the spot. To be honest, I didn't expect to see Chinese players in the Netherlands... You are still very young, how did you get to this point?"

...

Li Yan shrank his body, which had been leaning forward, and he was fascinated by the hearing. "So, are you professional players from the amateur student league? Tsk tsk! I really didn't expect that the student football that had developed for so long finally blossomed and bear fruit!" Li Yan sighed. When he went to college, he did not have a national college football league. Elementary school, junior high school and high school football matches were also fighting on their own, lacking an effective and perfect unified game organizer. Many student players with some talent were submerged in the sea of ​​books and questions under the pressure of exams and further studies.

"I have played football together from elementary school to college. No wonder the tacit understanding between you is extraordinary! The ball that scored Eindhoven is really beautiful! The perfect embodiment of the tacit understanding between the two!" Li Yan praised it violently, which made the two feel embarrassed.

"It's just a goal, hoho, nothing!"

"You can't say that! Think about it, how many fans and players are there in China, how many players are there, how many people play abroad? How many people succeed abroad? This is a matter of national honor!" Li Yan explained to them.

Yang Pan did not make any statement, Li Yan’s statement made sense. Every move of Chinese players overseas is related to foreigners’ views on Chinese football. The more successful they are, the more attention Chinese football will attract.

However, Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment and expressed his disagreement: "But... As a striker, isn't it the point that he should do to score goals on the court?"

Li Yan was stunned when he asked this question, and wanted to answer him, but he was speechless for a moment.

He waved his hand and did not answer Zhang Jun's question, but cleverly changed the topic: "Well, are you used to it in this place? From China to the Netherlands, thousands of miles away, you are all children, you have not finished college, but now you are fighting in professional competitions. Are you used to this kind of changes in life?"

Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's expressions became dark when he asked this question, which obviously aroused their homesickness. After all, they were still children, and no matter how glorious they were on the court, it was inevitable to miss home.

Zhang Jun didn't say anything. Yang Pan looked at the grassland and looked up at the club office building not far away: "I don't have anything to do with it either. Training, competition, life passes very quickly, and every day... it's quite fulfilling."

Li Yan knew that always letting the atmosphere go so dull would be unfavorable for the interview, so he decided to ask a question that would make them all relax: "How are you getting along with your teammates here? Have you made any friends?"

Sure enough, Zhang Jun's eyes lit up and he turned his head to look at his teammates who were resting. "Yes! Keizer, Luirink, Buys, Heuvel, and the funny Ouichou from the Ajax Youth Team... Captain Holwijn also takes good care of us, so we can get into the team so quickly!" As soon as he talked about this, Zhang Jun was excited.

"What kind of person is Kozel?"

"He is a very good midfielder. His idol and target is Davids of Juventus. Their style is quite similar. He has given us a lot of support in daily training and games. I remember that ball was made by Yang Pan in front of him in the backcourt for a long pass."

"Well, what's the impression of Warren Dam Club?"

"It's great, everyone has a good relationship, and the atmosphere in the team is also very good now." Zhang Jun replied.

"I think this is a very energetic club. Although it is small and not very famous, everyone is very young and is constantly improving. In such a place, you can learn a lot from each other and help each other." Yang Pan replied.

“What about the impression of this place?”

"A very comfortable place, with blue sky and green water. Maybe it's because it's small, so everyone is very friendly and enthusiastic, and the people are simple." Zhang Jun replied.

"Compared with Amsterdam..."

"Ha! Amsterdam!" Yang Pan laughed. He remembered the colorful nightlife notes of Kozer's vivid words to him, which made people suspect that he had experienced it personally. "For some people, it is heaven, but for some people, it is hell." He shook his head.

"But there is Ajax..."

"Ajax? I don't think it means anything. If we perform normally, we will be able to defeat them!" Yang Pan's words always reveal a sense of confidence in himself.

But Li Yan took a breath after hearing this: What a big tone! There are many people in the world who don’t know you, Warrendam, and they don’t know that there are probably not many people in Ajax. It is obviously a team of two levels! It is because you appear as a surprise weapon, and your opponent has no idea about your technical characteristics. In addition, you have a certain degree of underestimation, so you succeed. When you are thoroughly studied by your opponent on the court, you will be lucky to meet a team like Ajax.

The above are all what I think in my heart. Li Yan smiled and said, "It is a good thing for young people to have confidence! It's getting late, so please tell me your ideals separately."

Zhang Jun remembered Kaka, "try to gain a foothold in the Dutch Super League and then go to the top European league."

"I'm the same as him." Yang Pan pointed to Zhang Jun beside him.

"How is it?" On the way back to the hotel, Wang Hua asked Li Yan while driving.

"Yes, basically everything is clear. They are very detailed." Li Yan responded, using Wang Hua's cell phone to call the country. "Hey, please transfer to the editor-in-chief's office. Hello? Is the editor-in-chief? I'm Xiao Li, I'm now in the Netherlands. Yes, that matter is almost done. Now they are only missing their domestic information. Yes, yes, I will go to Yan Wei to solve it. He has been with me for so long, and these things will not hinder him. OK, I will call him immediately and wait until everything is complete. I will try to send the manuscript back next Monday."

Li Yan hung up the phone and called his partner Yan Wei in China: "Is Yan Wei? I am Li Yan... You are dead! Just say something unlucky! I am in the Netherlands now... I'm back home? I'm afraid I can't go back in a short period of time... What? What should I do? I've been with me for so long, and I don't have a long life at all? You're stupid, and you'll just runny nose! You should be a regular person, don't always be my partner, do it yourself... I'm bah! Crow's mouth! No will left behind

What to ask? Well, I'm not poor with you in the international long distance. I have something to ask you for help. I want you to go to Luoyang, Henan to collect information from two people, and specifically explain that I will send an email to your email. Remember, you must find out in detail, find everything you can learn, and then sort it out, and send it to my email before Sunday. Yes, yes, that's it, there's nothing else. If you are more careful, I'll bring you a few autographed photos of the stars when you return to China!"

Wang Hua smiled and said to Li Yan: "Your partner is very interesting!"

"Hey! I'm too poor! But I'm still very relieved to leave this kind of thing to him."

"What are your plans next?"

"I'm afraid I'll continue to stay at Warrendam. Pay attention to every news and every game of Warrendam. The company has applied for an interview certificate for me in the Netherlands, but I'm going to trouble you." Li Yan closed the notebook and leaned his head on the back of the chair.

"Ho ho! Why are you polite? Who are we with whom? Wearing a pair of pants since we were young, what is this little busy?" Wang Hua smiled while driving, "After that, I see, you attach so much importance to it this time. Do you really have so confidence in those two little guys?"

"Life is gambling. Sometimes taking risks will bring unexpected gains! Don't think about it so much now, and then talk about it after doing it. Looking back in a few years, more than ten years later, everything will be clear."

"Ho ho! When did you become a philosopher?"

"Do I have it?" Li Yan sat upright and said seriously, "To be honest, I am a well-known reporter in China. I know a lot of things, but it's hard to say. If these two children were developing in China, I wouldn't have put in such a big effort. Anyway, they were at best in A. But now they are in the Netherlands, which is famous for cultivating young players. I ran into it. Do you think I can give up easily?"

"Ha! An old hunting dog with a keen sense of smell! But you are so lucky. I wanted to take you to see an ordinary Dutch Super League game, but I didn't expect to see an unusual game..."

"No!" Li Yan interrupted Wang Hua, "It should be said that they are lucky. They started their professional football career in the Netherlands, not in China..."

The Dutch Cup is an important event different from the Dutch League. What's attractive about it is that teams that win the Dutch Cup will be qualified for the UEFA Cup next season. This is another way to enter the European arena and increase revenue for those mid-level teams who are not as strong as the traditional top three.

Warrendam's opponent this week is still the A-level team, and the Forward Eagles, currently ranked second in the A-level League. In the first round of the Cup, Warrendam was at a time when the year was unfavorable. He was even forced into a rank-1 opponent in the Cup, and finally decided on a penalty kick. The fans were very dissatisfied with this game. They thought the team was already a team in the Super League, but they couldn't handle a A-level team. They were really shameless. So in this game,

Warrendam not only wants to win, but also win beautifully, without any suspense. To be honest, after staying in the First Division for a year, Adrians still knows the Eagles very well. A team with the strength to rush into the super, but performs very unstable. Sometimes when the game goes smoothly, the offensive is like a tide, and if it doesn't go smoothly, it will be defeated thousands of miles. Faced with such a team, you can first stabilize your position with defense, consume the opponent's spirit, and then launch a large counterattack, and the gap in strength will eventually be reflected.

"Qiu, what do you think is the arrangement for Zhang Jun and Yang Pan?" Adrians asked Qiu Suhui opposite.

Qiu Suhui took a sip of coffee: "I think although the two of them performed very well in the last game, their physical fitness has not fully met the requirements of professional games, and it seems to be a bit difficult to deal with the complete game. I suggest that the two of them be in the second half."

"Well, but if two team members are replaced at once and there will be unexpected situations in the future, I will only have one place to replace them, which is very unfavorable."

"This..." Qiu Suhui did not consider the fact that there were only three replacement places, "Then what do you think, teacher?"

"You're right. Although Rice laid the foundation for Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in the youth team, training and competition are different. If there is no physical problem in training, it does not mean that there is no problem in the game. However, I still plan to line up Yang Pan as the starting lineup. Judging from the training, his physical reserves are better. As for Zhang Jun, I'll let him go again in the second half," Adrians wrote Yang Pan's name on the starting lineup and placed Zhang Jun's name on the bench.

When Zhang Jun learned from Qiu Suhui that he was a substitute in this cup, his heart skipped a beat. Yang Pan could even make the starting lineup, why couldn't he get in? It must be because of his poor performance on Monday that made the coach angry. His career was over, and he had tens of thousands of years of substitute. It seems that he must sit on the bench...

"Zhang Jun."

Hearing Coach Qiu calling him, Zhang Jun raised his head.

"Don't think about it anymore. We didn't arrange for you to start because judging from the recent physical reserves, your physical fitness is not as good as Yang Pan's, so you will arrange for you to be in the second half." Qiu Suhui seemed to see through Zhang Jun's thoughts. "Your body needs to adapt to the rhythm of the game step by step, so we will gradually increase your playing time, don't worry." He touched Zhang Jun's head and smiled.

As soon as Qiu Suhui left, Yang Pan kicked Zhang Jun on the butt: "Damn! You must be mentally unbalanced again, right?"

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly at Yang Pan and said, "It's time to go in the second half?"

Yang Pan naturally knew what he was saying, so he patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder: "If you go on the court, just wait for the shot, I'll pass the ball for you!"

Tomorrow is the match day. Zhang Jun saw Li Yan and his partner outside the training ground again. He walked over and said, "Well, reporter Li, when will you log in to your interview that day?"

Li Yan looked at Zhang Jun with some surprise.

"I, I mean when will this report be visible in China?"

"Huh! It should be Monday. What's wrong? Do you want to see it too?" Li Yan said with a smile.

"No, no, I just want to let someone see...will you report tomorrow's game?"

Li Yan nodded: "Yes, that's certain."

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine." Zhang Jun murmured to himself and walked back to the training ground. The rest time has passed, and it's time for him to continue training.

Li Yan looked at Zhang Jun's back and didn't understand what he was asking just now. He turned his head and asked Wang Hua beside him: "Do you understand? What he said just now..."

Wang Hua also shook his head.

The Veronica Stadion, which can only accommodate 6,000 people, is Warrendam's home court. It's really a small place, but it is the largest building in the Warrendam area.

On Saturday, October 17, in the second round of the Netherlands Cup, the super team Warren Dam faced the A-level team Progress Eagles at home. After this game, Warren Dam also had to challenge the league opponent DeGraafshap away. Two games in three days were a test of the players' physical fitness, and Adriansey's oath was just the difference between these two games.

Veronica facilities are outdated, the locker room is so small, the sound insulation is not good, and the noise in the stadium is clearly heard.

Adriansé raised his voice slightly and said, "...Does everyone understand their mission? We are at home, and I believe everyone knows what fans have to do with us. We must win this game, and we must win beautifully! We have another league game next, so don't waste too much energy with our opponents. Be firmly defend at the beginning, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack!"

Wang Bo no longer has to follow Zhang Jun and Yang Pan. This is what Qiu Suhui suggested. Don’t find a translation for Zhang Jun and Yang Pan. What they need now is not crutches, but walking independently. If the two don’t understand, there is a "translator" in the team who is a thousand times better than Wang Bo. Qiu Suhui is very good at expressing football professional terms and tactical ideas, and there will be no errors in understanding. Qiu Suhui whispered Adrians' words to the two, and finally said to Yang Pan: "Yang Pan, don’t be too selfless. You are a striker now, and you still have too few shots. You should know that if the striker doesn’t shoot, it is no different from the arrangement. Whether it is a game or a training session, shoot more goals."

Yang Pan nodded.

"In addition, Zhang Jun, watch carefully on the bench. This is also a kind of training, observe the situation on the court, and then make your own thinking, think about what you should do in that situation, and compare the choices made by your teammates on the court to see if it is your better or his better? When you come on the court, use what you think about. If your ideal is to be a great striker, seize every opportunity you can seize!"

When the live announcer shouted "No. 25, Yang Pan!", the fans cheered the most because it was this Chinese boy who appeared out of nowhere who assisted Zhang Jun to tie the score in the last round of the league. Through television broadcast, he and Zhang Jun have become heroes in the hearts of fans.

Zhang Jun sat on the bench and watched Yang Pan raise his hands professionally to greet the fans. Although he knew that the coach's arrangement was right, he still felt a little jealous. He should have accepted the cheers of all the fans on the court.

In this game, Adriansey arranged for Ochu and Yang Pan to partner. The combination only cooperated for two days in training. Adriansey did not expect this combination to score a goal. He just hoped to defend in the first half and to wipe out the opponent's spirit. Then, in the second half, Zhang Jun was sent to decide the winner.

After the game started, both sides attacked and defended each other, and the fans sang passionately in the stands. Everything was normal.

When the game was twenty minutes into the game, the visiting team's forward Eagles failed to attack and launched a counterattack after being intercepted by Kozel in the middle. He passed the ball to Bayes, who directly passed the ball to Yang Pan.

Yang Pan plugged in at high speed, and the Warren Dam fans who saw Yang Pan's speed on TV began to shout loudly.

The opponent's defender received a special order from the coach before the game, be careful of the speed and cross of No. 25, because this is the key to their tie-up with Eindhoven. Therefore, the defender worked very hard to keep up with Yang Pan's speed and always stuck in the inside to prevent Yang Pan from crossing.

But they all ignored another weapon of Yang Pan, a heavy weapon.
