I woke up late. Sorry, there's one more update before 9 pm.
-----
At the Ajax Youth Training Base, there was an echelon for each age group. However, in the 18-year-olds group, the youth team could not gather 11 players, but this did not affect their training. After all, training did not mean that they had to play.
In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Xiong's awkwardness stemmed from the fact that in the 18-year-olds group, only Maduro, Diandri, and Timisala were his teammates in the training match, and these three were relatively silent. The other six 18-year-olds, led by Moops and Ilmas, were his opponents in the previous training match. They were trying to isolate Qin Xiong here.
Before the coach arrived, everyone was doing warm-up exercises on the training ground. Qin Xiong came earlier than anyone else. He had already finished his warm-up and was now playing with the ball.
Buhari, who was in the 17-year-olds group, took the initiative to come over and say hello to Qin Xiong, but he was scolded away by Moops. It was as if Moops had become a strict "senior" and seriously told Buhari to "scram" back to his training group and not disturb the 18-year-olds group.
Lindgren, who was in the 19-year-olds group, also came to say hello to Qin Xiong, but he was pulled away by Moops on the pretext of chatting.
Qin Xiong was playing with the ball. He kept playing with the ball. No matter if someone walked past him or if someone talked to him, the football never fell to the ground.
Just this balance and sense of the ball made many people around him look at him with new eyes.
Qin Xiong was well aware of what was happening around him. Not only was he not angry, but he also found it ridiculous.
It seemed that there was a kind of nature that people in the world shared.
Jealousy and revenge.
It was not that Qin Xiong had not been isolated before. He was used to it. Moreover, in his heart, he did not feel sad. On the contrary, perhaps it was the innate influence of low-risk depression, but there was always a kind of disdain in his heart, especially when it came to the reactions of the people around him. He always had a very keen insight into malicious people. Under such circumstances, he certainly would not have the negative emotions of being isolated. Instead, he felt disdain to be with the other party.
Sometimes, it was necessary to stay away from people who were both malicious and mediocre.
Both Impus and Ilmas were still brooding over being repeatedly humiliated by Qin Xiong during the training matches.
They wanted to create an atmosphere where Qin Xiong was isolated from the Jax Empire and make it hard for Qin Xiong to develop in the Jax Empire.
In their minds, as long as Qin Xiong was unable to integrate into the group and adapt to this team, then Qin Xiong would definitely be kicked out.
Qin Xiong was dismissive of them. Youth team? This was not his goal. He could not wait to leave. He did not care who was here or whether they accepted him.
Soon, the coaches arrived at the training ground. The coach of the under-18 team deliberately introduced Qin Xiong to the training group and then officially entered the training.
Ajax's youth training system was very mature. The general training was the efforts of countless predecessors. After countless workers perfected and improved, it finally formed a training system with reasonable distribution and amazing efficiency.
For example, this morning's training was mainly about passing and receiving the ball.
The coach would explain the key points of the training to Qin Xiong alone.
The first was the strength of the passing. This was to ensure that the ball speed was appropriate. In different environments, the requirements for ball speed were different.
The second was to avoid taking the ball with his back. In football terms, it was "standing-open." The key point was to make the pass and pass the ball, or to make other choices in one go, instead of clumsily stopping the ball, passing the ball, and breaking down the ball. This was a higher requirement than passing the ball with a single kick.
The third was to observe the position of the teammates before passing and receiving the ball. Pay attention to the cultivation of the overall situation.
The fourth was to always keep the ball and the players moving. The focus was to cultivate the awareness of running without the ball.
The simple passing and receiving training contained the essence of many football skills. These were very basic, but when the basics were practiced to the point of perfection, the power on the football field was still amazing.
When it came to the specific training program, the whole team first warmed up, and then the specific training began.
This kind of passing training was new to Qin Xiong.
Because the passing and running training was not fixed point to point, A passed to B, B passed to A, and the cycle repeated.
Instead, it was similar to base running in baseball.
In a fixed area, the ten players had their own starting positions. They ran along the position of the teammates in front of them, forming a running cycle. Then, in the process of running, everyone always had to complete a triangular pass.
The triangular pass was the most effective group cooperation in passing on the football field.
If one analyzed the Ajax champion team that Louis Van Gaal built, one would find that his lineup was interlocked in the "triangular" group cooperation. The big triangle covered the small triangle, from the local to the overall situation, dazzling. However, to ensure that the players' thoughts on the field were clear, they needed to work hard and be used to it for a long time in training, and to form a tacit understanding with their teammates.
Simply put, in this training program, Qin Xiong had to constantly run if he was in a state without the ball. When the ball came over when he was about to run into position, he had to complete the two tasks of receiving the ball and passing it. He had to ensure that he did not take the ball with his back to the team. At the same time, he had to pass the ball to the designated triangular diagonal area. After completing the pass, he had to continue to run.
In Qin Xiong's eyes, this kind of training was a bit "advanced and scientific." Just imagine, in a game, when passing the ball, your teammates might not necessarily send the ball to your feet accurately, and after passing the ball, you could not just stand there stupidly. These things had to rely on training to develop awareness.
During this training, Qin Xiong appeared to be in a good mood because it was very fresh. He also did very well. He accurately passed the ball and never sloppily passed the ball. However, if Moops and Ilmas happened to pass the ball to Qin Xiong's area, they would deliberately make a fuss about the strength of the pass. They would either be slow or fast, trying to make Qin Xiong look bad.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiong immediately made a precise judgment in his heart the moment the opponent passed the ball. He knew whether he should slow down or speed up.
And Qin Xiong's passes to his teammates often made his teammates feel very comfortable. He received the ball and passed the ball very smoothly. This was the embodiment of the speed of the ball and the control of the strength of the pass.
The coach who was supervising the players' training at the side secretly praised Qin Xiong's performance. He had a solid foundation and good awareness. During the training of passing and running, Qin Xiong not only performed easily, but also completed it well.
On the other hand, Moops and Ilmas made the coach frown secretly. He did not know what was wrong with the two players today. Their performance was much worse.
Qin Xiong was in high spirits during the entire morning's training. He was very interested in the training here and experienced a different kind of fun from the past.
For example, in the second training of passing the ball with an obstacle as the defender, in the standard two-one coordination training, the players would run directly in front of the obstacle, stop the ball with their right foot, and pass the ball with their left foot to the designated area. Then, they would run back and stop the ball with their left foot and pass the ball with their right foot. Not only did this train the balance of both feet, but it also made their awareness flexible and allowed them to change their thinking in the shortest time possible.
However, there was not much that stood out in the final routine training. Qin Xiong had practiced this countless times in his previous training.
The fullback would pass the ball to the striker, and the striker would return to the midfield. The midfield would be divided into the side, and the side would pass the ball directly to the striker …
The training here was 90 minutes per class, and each class would end with a short period of time match in a group confrontation.
The 18-year-olds team, including Qin Xiong, had exactly 10 people. In the 5vs5 match, there was no shooting practice. Instead, it was focused on the cooperation of the team to snatch the ball and pass the ball. Because the individual's ability to protect the ball was not emphasized, that is to say, the individual should try to avoid too much time in possession of the ball. Therefore, Qin Xiong's performance was only stable. He did not make any mistakes in his passes and was active in snatching the ball. As for his teammates who lost the ball, he would snatch it back. There was no competition between winning and losing.
This afternoon, the focus of the training was similar to that in the morning, except that some other content was changed. In general, Qin Xiong was very satisfied with the first day of training at Ajax. He personally felt that it was overflowing with fun.
This made Moops and Ilmas, who were watching him from the side and wanted to scheme against him, very angry!
No matter what the training content was, Qin Xiong always completed it outstandingly, making the other teammates pale in comparison.
When Qin Xiong returned to Ward Street in the evening, Freddy, Reutemann, and the other two old men were drinking beer and chatting leisurely outside the restaurant.
"Qin, how did you feel on your first day at Ajax?"
Dekoiz took the initiative to wave and ask.
Qin Xiong walked to their table and said with a smile, "Great!"
"Hmm? Did something good happen to you? Don't tell me you've already entered the First Team? "
Freddy asked excitedly.
Qin Xiong shook his head and told Freddy about the training content that he found very interesting today. Freddy and the other three old men did not seem very interested in it.
Especially Peter and the other two old men. They were really a little annoyed with Ajax!
Last night, they were almost defeated by the unknown Graz AK on their home ground. How could they not be angry?
Although they won in the end, when they thought about it carefully after sleeping, they were not happy at all. (A good activity like a pie falling from the sky. Cool mobile phones waiting for you!
