Chapter 57

When the sun was setting, Yang Yang and Vermaelen left De Tokmost and walked side by side to the bus stop at the intersection.

Yang Yang is still the same as usual, flipping the ball. After four months of training, this has almost become his instinct.

Fermaelen looked at Yang Yang with interest, always feeling that this teammate was strange and contradictory.

It stands to reason that anyone who can join Ajax, even if it is only the second team, is a leader among his peers, but Yang Yang is still carrying out this kind of boring basic training, which is really incomprehensible. .

"How did you come to Ajax?" Vermaelen finally did not hold back his curiosity and asked.

After a whole day of contact, especially the training just now, his relationship with Fermaelen has undoubtedly become much closer. After thinking about it, Yang Yang put his affairs in Almere, except for the super training ground, other things. They all said it one by one.

The Belgian was stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect Yang Yang to complete the leap from Almere to Ajax in just four months.

"Looking for a chance, I must go to the skate park you mentioned to see your masterpiece." Fairmalen laughed.

He was talking about the graffiti wall that Yang Yang mentioned.

"What about you? How did you come to Ajax?" Yang Yang asked while swaying the ball.

"Me?" Fermaelen thought hard, shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, suddenly one day, a guy who claimed to be an Ajax scout came to me, and then The next day, the club I was playing for told me that they had decided to sell me to Ajax, and they didn't ask my opinion from start to finish."

"But then, the people at Ajax told me that because of my age, I couldn't join the team for the time being, so they loaned me to the original club, so in the past two years, apart from having to talk to Ajax every month I can only hear about it from the newspapers and the media outside of the scout meeting."

Yang Yang nodded slightly, still flipping the ball, but he could sense some peculiar smell from Fermaelen's tone.

John Repp had told him that from the moment he signed his name, he was no longer a free agent.

Maybe, at some point in the future, Ajax will suddenly sell him, maybe to a big club, but also to a low-level small team, maybe even terminate his contract directly and kick him out of Germany. tokemost.

In short, he was no longer entirely his own.

"Only if you are strong enough can you control your own destiny." Yang Yang said what John Rip mentioned to him.

"That's right." Fermaelen nodded and smiled, "So, not only you and me, whether it's the first team or the second team, whether it's foreign players or local players, everyone is thinking about leaving here and moving towards A higher and wider stage."

Today's Ajax is no longer the glory of the 1990s, and the gap between the Eredivisie and the four major European leagues is constantly widening. Whether it is from the economic level or from the competitive level, Ajax and the Eredivisie It's hard to keep players in the league.

Yang Yang is still just a nobody. He is only working hard to gain a foothold in the second team of Ajax, but put himself in his shoes. If he is replaced by Van der Vaart or Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whether it is for his own sake. For interests, or for career development, he will definitely choose to leave.

Playing with the best players in the world, whether as teammates or opponents, is a very challenging thing.

Besides, isn't the meaning of competition just to constantly challenge and break through one's own limits?

Thinking of this level, Yang Yang suddenly understood a lot of things.

Whether it's the Ajax management selling people, the players' job-hopping, or the reluctance and anger of the fans, he understands it all.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar behind them, and then they saw a sports car whizzing past the road beside them, and then they heard a harsh sudden braking, and the sports car slammed on them. It stopped not far ahead.

"Hey, it's really you, I suspect I've read it wrong."

When Yang Yang and Vermaelen passed by, Swedish center Zlatan Ibrahimovic was waving at them through the car window.

"Hi, hello." Yang Yang walked to the roadside to say hello.

He and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were comrades-in-arms anyway, and they both left an impression on each other.

"You joined Ajax? When did it happen?" Ibrahimovic asked happily.

"Come to report today."

Ibrahimovic saw Fermalen, then turned to look at Yang Yang, "You also live in Oderkerke?"

"Well, I live across from you." Yang Yang nodded.

Ibrahimovic is not surprised. Odekerke is the closest to De Tokmost, and many people in the Ajax youth academy live there. There is nothing to make a fuss about, let alone fate. .

"Don't wait for the bus, I'll take you back." Having said that, Ibrahimovic had opened the door and greeted the two of them, "Get in the car."

Yang Yang and Fermaelen looked at each other, and both felt that there was no need to reject the kindness of the first-team center forward, so they hurriedly got into the car.

I have to say that this Porsche 911 is really cool and cool, with two doors and four seats, but the interior space is smaller.

It was the first time for Yang Yang and Fermaelen to see such a cool sports car, and they couldn't help showing envious eyes, which made the Swedish center very proud of seeing it. .

"Aren't you speeding like this?" Yang Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked with concern.

"Super, but isn't that the way a sports car is fun to drive?" The Swedish center replied naturally.

When Yang Yang thought about it, it seemed that this was the truth, "You let me get off at the intersection ahead, and I'll go to the supermarket to buy food."

"Buying groceries?" Ibrahimovic's eyes flashed a peculiar look, "You can still cook?"

"A little bit." Yang Yang said modestly.

"That's fine, I'll take you directly to the supermarket, you hurry in and buy, I'll be waiting for you outside, I'll try your craft tonight." Ibrahimovic replied with great anticipation.

"Okay." Of course Yang Yang would not refuse.

Anyway, to cook, one more person means one more pair of chopsticks, no big deal.

"How about I call Maxwell over if you don't mind?" the Swedish center suggested.

"Of course there is no problem." Yang Yang replied cheerfully.

The Swedish center cheered, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the whole car sprinted faster.

It didn't take long for Yang Yang to buy all the ingredients and seasonings for dinner from the supermarket, and bring them back to the rental house in small packages.

Not long after coming back, the doorbell rang, and the Brazilian left-back Maxwell came.

The 22-year-old Brazilian player has a completely different personality from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. If the Swedish center is a familiar extrovert, then Maxwell is an introvert from beginning to end. It's hard to imagine that the two of them would be famous first-team buddies.

It is said that they were three brothers in the past, and the other was Mido, who left the team after a transfer, but then Mido fell out with Ibrahimovic and threw him a pair of scissors. Couldn't mix it up again.

Yang Yang asked Vermaelen to greet the two of them, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner by himself.

In the end, he learned his skills from the great chef's uncle, Shen Ming. Yang Yang quickly came up with a pot of fragrant braised noodles, as well as several delicious side dishes, which are all home-cooked dishes that Shen Ming is good at.

Ibrahimovic, Fermaelen, and Maxwell, who had never tasted Chinese food, couldn't hold back when they smelled the aroma. Without Yang Yang to say hello, the three of them rushed like wolves. go up.

It didn't take long for the braised noodles and side dishes on the table to bottom out.

"It's not bad that I haven't had a good meal in two or three days." Ibrahimovic burped and smiled contentedly.

Apparently, he enjoyed the dinner.

Both Yang Yang and Fermaelen were puzzled, what happened?

"Isn't it all your fault?" Maxwell complained bitterly on the side, "What kind of car should you buy? Your Mercedes-Benz was not very good? Why did you have to change to a Porsche?"

"Porsche sucks."

"But you are going to drink the northwest wind. Who is like you, who just renewed the contract and took the signing fee and ran to buy a car. You can spend all your salary, even throwing my share in it, and it will hurt me too. Follow you to drink the northwest wind..."

At the end of the day, Maxwell is helpless, putting on such an unreliable friend, really...

Yang Yang and Fermaelen looked at each other, and then they all understood why Ibrahimovic would be so proactive when he heard that he was going to the supermarket to buy groceries just now. Woolen cloth.

They're all a bunch of young people who don't care about their heads.

Ajax's salary is calculated as weekly salary, but it is actually monthly, and there is still half a month before the next month's salary...

Thinking of this, and looking at the embarrassment of Ibrahimovic and Maxwell, Yang Yang's heart moved.

"If you think my craftsmanship is decent, just come and eat here during this period of time." Yang Yang suggested, "It's just that my salary is meager, so I definitely can't greet you with good fish and meat, but food and clothing are not a problem. of."

Thinking that he only has 400 euros a week, he has to support a center with a weekly salary of 10,000 euros and a left-back with a weekly salary of 5,000 euros, he can't help but laugh, but considering that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not die. With the familiar character of his face, it is estimated that even if he doesn't say it, he will always come over to eat and drink.

Instead, it's better to speak up on your own initiative and look more arrogant, so let's take it as making two friends.

Sure enough, after listening to Yang Yang's words, Ibrahimovic nodded and agreed in a hurry. He kept praising Yang Yang's loyalty, and said that he would definitely repay Yang Yang if he took the chance. Even Maxwell also frequently channeled his thanks. , said that when he got his salary next month, he must return it to Yang Yang.

Since he wanted to make friends, why would Yang Yang mind these things?

After eating and wiping, Maxwell and Fermaelen took the initiative to help Yang Yang clean up. Ibrahimovic probably also felt embarrassed and took up the work of sweeping and mopping the floor.

After the brushing was finished, Yang Yang conjured up a plate of cut fruits again, so beautiful that the three of them were full of praise.
