Chapter 25 Gambling

"This is the head coach of the first team, and he wants to see you." Les pointed to Adrians beside him.

Zhang Jun and Yang Pan were not too excited because they knew that this day would come sooner or later, and they knew when they did not have a rest day to practice on the training ground. They just asked Mr. Adriansé very politely. However, the translator Wang Bo was a little excited. He didn't know that Adriansé promised Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in a small hotel room in Eindhoven. He just thought that the efforts of these two children finally paid off, and they were getting closer and closer to their dreams.

Several years later, the Chinese media have been making various speculations and conceiving various scenarios to prove that future superstars have already become kingly at the beginning. However, they all guessed wrongly.

Adrians looked at the two Chinese teenagers with satisfaction, just like they reported to the club a month ago. He smiled slightly and said, "You two start training in the first team tomorrow, and the club will prepare a new contract for you."

With only this sentence, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan began their professional careers.

Then Adrians looked at Les: "Do you have anything else to say to them? From tomorrow on, they will belong to me. Hoho, it will be a little difficult for you to see them again!"

Les smiled and said to the two of them: "Actually there is nothing to say. What I can teach you will teach you in this month. Although it is all basic, you must remember that all beautiful movements and good consciousness are based on a solid foundation. Don't underestimate these basic movements. I understand the depression of staying away from your hometown, but you two should not always whisper together. The most important thing in the game is communication. You still have too little to say something to others. It is not good to continue like this. Others... Zhang Jun?"

Zhang Jun looked at Les.

"I know you're still angry at me for getting angry at you, right?" Rice smiled and pointed at Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun quickly blushed and shook his head.

"Ho ho, I can understand your mood. I was really excited that day. I am a person who attaches great importance to basic training. You can tell from my training arrangements. You have only been under me for a short month, which is a pity! If you started training with me since you were 10 years old, I would definitely repeat the ground passes every day during three years of training!"

Looking at Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's surprised expressions, Rice laughed proudly: "Haha! This is true! You can ask your head coach in the future. When we were still in Ajax, this is how I trained those young players. Don't underestimate these extremely ordinary movements. The speed, strength and line quality of the ball will have a direct impact on the teammates' handling of the next action. The same is true for receiving the ball. As the center, in the small space in the penalty area, even if you only stop for one centimeter, the final shot will be very different. Now, if you persist in the seemingly boring training, you will benefit a lot in the future games."

Finally, Rice patted the two of them on the shoulders, looking a little reluctant to say: "Good luck to you!"

Although it only took a short month, Rice was the first teacher in Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's professional football career, and had a profound impact on their future development. Of course, they could not know so much at the moment. They just think this old man is not bad and very sincere.

Thanks to Les and Adriansé, the three of them left the training ground.

"Actually, there is nothing to say. Instead, you say the most..." Adrians said as he looked at the backs of the three people.

"The time is too short, there is no way!" Les sighed, "I'm telling the truth. If they were allowed to train under me for three to five years... I can guarantee that they are definitely much better than they are now, a month... Although they are also excellent, they still have to take many unnecessary detours... John, why don't they call them back to the youth team? It's only a year, one year, I promise..."

Adriansey shrugged and interrupted Les: "I can't do anything. I know it's inappropriate to do this, and it's not the most perfect way to do it. But the pressure on the top is quite high. In the next two rounds, it's a game against Eindhoven. If you lose, you and I will have to pack up and get out! I believe you don't want to see this day coming, right?"

Les was silent for a while: "I really don't want to. But... for myself, use the future of the child..."

"No, this is just gambling. They are the bet parties like us, and they bet the same. If the bet wins, we will all be happy. If we lose..." Adriansey shrugged, "Everyone is finished!"

Rice looked at him: "But we are all old and we can't make such a big bet, right? But they are still young..."

Adriansey suddenly fell silent, his old friend was right. But, now, do they all have a way out?

Rice continued, "Forget it, since we have already placed the bet, we can only wait quietly for the dice to be rolled out."

Life is a continuous super gambling. Who can guarantee that you can win every game?

Les shook his head, and Adrians shook his head.

Wang Bo was even happier about joining the first team than the two parties. He specially pulled Zhang Jun and Yang Pan to his restaurant and announced to everyone that the two young men were already professional players! Although they had not signed the contract formally, everyone came to congratulate them, whether it was the guests eating here or the waiter in the store who could understand and didn't understand the language to hug Zhang Jun. Wang Bo even cooked himself and cooked a sumptuous dinner for the two, all of which were their hometown dishes that they hadn't eaten for a long time.

Chewing the oily and refried meat, Zhang Jun felt his eyes a little wet. He had been eating the "nutritional meal" for nearly a month, and spent all his rest time on training every day. He also had to learn Dutch at night... Now he has finally taken another step towards his dream!

Yang Pan did not eat voraciously like he usually eliminated those "nutritional meals", but chewed slowly like Zhang Jun. Perhaps, their ideas were the same at this time.

A month is short, but it is the first step in their professional football career, solid and powerful.

But the two of them just tasted a little of each meal, and then they tactfully proposed to eat the unpleasant "nutritional meal" because they were about to become professional players and had to strictly demand themselves. Moreover, they all remembered the expression of Rice when he patted his shoulder and said "good luck".

Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then half apologized, and was happy to get a "professional player meal" for them.

After dinner, the two wanted to call their homes to report the good news, but they hadn't called their homes for a while. But when Zhang Jun picked up the microphone, he suddenly remembered that this was the Netherlands, not Hefei, and the two countries had six times apart. It was the early morning there, and it was useless to call them. When he thought of the time difference, the disappointment on Zhang Jun's face became more and more obvious, because he wanted to tell Sophie the good news, and he didn't know how happy she would be on the other end of the phone... Zhang Jun then realized that the Netherlands and China were not only separated by geographical distance, but also by six hours, which was the distance that could not be crossed...

Damn the jet lag! He cursed hard in his heart.

The players were generally not in high spirits, and they only scored one goal in three rounds of the league, and they were less young laughter than before the season. Even Ouichou, the team's Pistachio (Ouichou), had not joked for a long time. He was the forward of the team, but he did not score a goal in the first few games, disappointing everyone's expectations for him.

The training ground seemed lifeless and everyone was in a bad mood. The head coach did not come, and assistant coach Stell was leading everyone to train, but the players looked absent-minded.

In fact, two losses and one draw in three rounds of leagues are not the worst. But the problem is that the teams who lost in the last two games are teams with similar levels, and they lost the game against Udrecht even more aggrieved. They were beaten by others because they were not good at the front line. They scored the winning goal in the last minute and lost the game.

Despite Cozeel and his efforts, despite Louis Link's hard work, and even though Bayes and Herville's hard work, personal efforts cannot be transformed into effective results, which is still useless. The team's failure is not the responsibility of a certain person, but for young people, they are at a loss when they see the team lose, and that feeling is really uncomfortable.

Adriansey brought two Chinese teenagers out of his office and led them to the training ground of the first team. We had signed a new contract just now, with a two-year term and a weekly salary of 1,100 euros. Both of them were very satisfied with the contract and signed their own names without saying anything.

Adriansey walked and briefly introduced them to the teammates they were about to meet. Nothing else was wrong, and the coach introduced it very simply, mainly because the name was made for Zhang Jun and Yang Pan to remember it.

After entering the training ground, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan saw many teammates, most of whom were listless and did not pay much attention to their arrival. It seemed that the coach was right. The record is not good now, which has a great blow to these young players.

Adriansey seemed to be helpless about the current situation. He looked at everyone and then signaled to Stell to ask the players to stop training. He had something to announce.

Only at this time did the team members find that there were two strange oriental people around the coach, and they were a little puzzled.

When everyone stopped and looked at the two orientals beside him, Adriansey introduced Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in a very casual tone. He didn't want to make the scene too serious and add unnecessary pressure to the two. Therefore, he did not even ask everyone to stand in a good team.

"Okay, now I will introduce two new teammates to you - this is Zhang Jun and this is Yang Pan. They play as strikers and will become everyone's teammates in the future."

Adriansey could see a feeling of distrust in everyone's eyes, especially Ochu. When he heard the "acting forward", his body trembled slightly and his face turned pale.

Zhang Jun didn't see it, and he greeted everyone in his stuttering Dutch, but no one paid attention to him, and he realized something. Yang Pan was watching coldly, observing everyone's expressions.

Adrians knew that they would not be convinced if they introduced them simply, and they would not be able to start their cooperation in the future. It seems that they must establish mutual trust when they meet, because they will fight side by side in the future.
