Chapter 220: First Eredivisie Match

Netherlands, Amsterdam, a beautiful city.

It has the scenery of an international metropolis and a flavor unique to the Netherlands.

General manager Peter and Ajax head coach Ten Hag took Wang Po to visit Ajax Football Club.

Pleasant scenery and professional facilities.

The 19-year-old Ajax captain De Ligt, De Jong and other young teammates met.

The entire team feels energetic and energetic.

Of course, Wang Po, who is the new World Footballer of the Year, is not too old. He is 19 years old at the same age as captain De Ligt.

As a young man, there were too many topics to talk about. After a training session, Wang Po got on well with his teammates.

He seemed very interested in the scene where Wang Po faced off against Messi in the Champions League semifinals. After listening to the whole process, his eyes were full of admiration and expectation.

"This year, we are also in the same group as Barcelona in the Champions League, so there will be great things to watch."

De Jong said with a shy smile.

"Ha, of course, the Champions League, I look forward to it endlessly." De Ligt said with emotion.

A new player has joined, and he is the youngest footballer of the year. The choice of jersey number is a problem.

When the club asked Wang Po for his opinion, the latter gave a number: No. 29.

Looking at the entire history of world football, the number 29 is very ordinary and not outstanding. It seems that not many players have given this number new meaning, but for Wang Po, this number also has a different meaning.

Not in Europe, not in the Americas, but in the domestic league, a forward player wearing No. 29, bending a bow and shooting arrows.

Even though his physical talent is not outstanding enough, his sense of smell in front of the goal is very sensitive, and his head and kick skills have reached the top level in the country, which left a deep impression on Wang Po who was still a child.

Therefore, for this short trip to the Netherlands, he set his number at 29.

Originally, the club was still worried about Wang Po's number. After all, the team structure is complete, and basically the good numbers are divided up. Once Wang Po chooses the number, they are bound to do their work. No matter what, they cannot be wronged. A player of Mr.'s caliber.

Even if he is only on a short one-year loan and doing part-time work.

Fortunately, the number 29 Wang Po chose was a vacant number.

After the first day's training session, Ajax head coach Ten Hag had a conversation with Wang Po.

"What's your favorite position?"

"Need my place." Wang Po replied.

Ten Hag was stunned by this answer, and then he smiled and asked, "Are you serious?"

This is not an arrogant statement. After all, in Benfica and Dortmund, Wang Po's position covers the entire central axis.

Center forward, attacking midfielder, central midfielder, defensive midfielder, and central defender. His comprehensive abilities have given countless defensive players headaches.

"Of course, as long as I can help the team win, I can play in any position, as long as you think this position needs me." Wang Po said seriously.

"In the new season, I plan to partner De Jong in the midfield, what do you think?"

"No problem." Wang Po said calmly.

…

After finishing the explanation with Ten Hag, Wang Po's personal team began to work.

Different from the working model at Dortmund Football Club, this time Wang Po chose to bring a private team into the club. This was approved by general manager Peter.

Of course, Wang Po is also willing to use the private team he hired to selflessly help his club teammates.

Young players are very moldable. Now they are in their prime period. With the help of such a private team, their improvement will be huge. For this, the young players headed by De Ligt are very grateful to Wang Po. It also established Wang Po's status in the team.

The arrival of new players and a new core is a question of tactical system in front of the team's head coach Ten Hag. Obviously, whether it is strength or hard honor, the new World Footballer is a well-deserved core, even if the two sides only have a short time together. year contract.

I believe that no team in the world has the luxury of having a rising World Footballer join the tactical system as an assistant.

Regarding tactics, Ten Hag also respected Wang Po's opinions very much. The two sides entered into in-depth exchanges. Finally, after a month of running-in, the new Ajax team set sail.

The new Eredivisie season has begun.

Last season, young teams like Ajax set off a youth storm in the Eredivisie. In the end, they missed the championship with a gap of 4 points and unfortunately won the runner-up. This season, the team set sail again and has a new world football heart. Wang Po, who is the best player, top scorer, assists leader in the Champions League, Bundesliga MVP, top scorer, and assists leader, joins the team. The goal is undoubtedly the championship!

In the first round of the Eredivisie, last year's runner-up Ajax will challenge The Hague away.

The strength of The Hague Football Club is relatively mediocre, ranking around the middle level in the league all year round. This is so, because it is the first round of the league, and each team has not yet entered the state of this kind of competition. The effectiveness of the lineup still needs to be tested. This can only be seen when a real gun is played on the field. Such an opponent who is neither strong nor weak is a good opportunity to test the training effect.

The Hague's football market has been as tepid as the team's performance in recent years, but this game was sold out and it was hard to get a ticket.

Firstly, it’s the team’s first match of the new season, and secondly, they also want to see the new World Footballer Wang Po live.

In this game, Ten Hag sent out the strongest lineup on paper.

Goalkeeper Onana, two central defenders Feltman, and 19-year-old captain De Ligt partnered with central defenders, left and right fullbacks Ore and Yura, midfielders used De Jong and Wang Po, the front midfielder was the rising star Van der Beck, two wingers Kasiela and Yuni, and the center forward was Dolberg.

Wang Po's first Eredivisie game is here.

The reporter team headed by Annie on the sidelines is ready. She wants to try not to miss any things that can be written. After all, the Eredivisie is no longer a mainstream league in Europe. He doesn't want his boyfriend who just had a brilliant year to fade out of the media's vision because of a year here.

Walking out of the player tunnel of the Hague Stadium, what comes into view is the crowds of fans in the stands.

After a month and a half, the game finally came again.

Although the game rhythm here is relatively weaker than the Bundesliga, Wang Po firmly believes that he will definitely improve this year.

The fragrance of the soil activated the football gene in Wang Po's body.

Let's start, I can't wait.

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, Wang Po's first game in the Dutch Eredivisie officially began.

At the beginning, Ajax, who had the advantage in strength, took the initiative on the field. Wang Po and De Jong's joint midfielder firmly controlled the dominance of the ball.
