Qin Xiong might not realize it himself, but his decision to come to Ajax was the wisest decision in his football career. It was not without luck.
Not only did he have Louis Van Gaal's careful nurturing.
In the reserve team, he also had Van Basten's game experience.
After a simple training in the morning, Ajax's reserve team took the train to Twente's territory to challenge Twente's reserve team as a guest.
Qin Xiong didn't have any mission to appear on the field. He was called by Van Basten to sit beside him. As the game progressed, Van Basten analyzed the game for him in detail and patiently, giving him pointers on the changes that occurred in the game. If he were on the field, how would he make the most correct choice?
First of all, a football club was closed. Secondly, the internal hierarchy was similar to that of a feudal society.
The big-name players were the privileged class. According to tradition, there might be seniority in the locker room, and there were also differences in circles.
This was all normal.
Therefore, the players could not naively ask the manager to be fair and treat everyone equally!
That was impossible to achieve.
Therefore, for Qin Xiong to be valued by the manager, others would certainly be envious.
However, at the level of the reserve team, for players around 20 years old, they were actually one step away from the first team!
Instead of spending time on envy, jealousy, and hatred, it was better to work hard and strive to take another step forward and step onto the big stage!
Qin Xiong listened to Van Basten's teachings while observing the reserve team's game through his own perspective.
Although he was not on the field, as a bystander, he looked at the overall situation and analyzed the game. His mind was actually clearer, and his thinking was very fast.
Because the reserve team had removed the age limit, Ajax's reserve team looked younger in the reserve team league.
In such a game environment, regardless of the opponent's skills, their overall physical fitness was stronger!
They were faster, fought more fiercely, had better tactical qualities, and had more outstanding team awareness.
Qin Xiong was secretly making comparisons with himself.
His speed still had a certain advantage on the stage of the reserve team league. His strength lost its advantage, but his ability to control the ball still had an advantage.
More importantly, Ajax's overall age was significantly lower than his opponent's, which meant that his physical fitness was slightly inferior.
In that case, in order to gain the upper hand in the competition, the team's overall advantage had to be brought into play. Ajax's prided advanced tactical concepts and stronger team combat strength would play an important role in the competition.
On the other hand, Qin Xiong's speciality in organizing attacks had more room to display here.
Qin Xiong spent 90 minutes on the substitutes' bench. However, during these precious 90 minutes, he had accumulated useful experience from watching Van Basten and observing the game himself. He had a direct understanding of the intensity of the reserve team's game, and he also had a certain understanding of his reserve team teammates.
Ajax's reserve team won 2: 1 against Twente's reserve team in the away game.
Qin Xiong returned to Amsterdam with the team. Just as he left the club, someone approached him.
It was a man with an Asian face. The moment he opened his mouth, he spoke in Chinese, which made Qin Xiong realize that he was from China.
"Hello, you're Qin Xiong, aren't you? I'm a European football observer reporter for Titan Sport. Can I interview you? "
Qin Xiong listened to the man's self-introduction and did not ask for his name. He shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in an interview. Goodbye."
At this stage, Qin Xiong did not want to deal with reporters, nor was he willing to waste time accepting an interview.
The male reporter in his thirties clearly did not expect Qin Xiong's reaction to be so cold.
According to his understanding, Qin Xiong had performed very well in the two games for Ajax's youth team. If he reported these back, Qin Xiong might become the most eye-catching new star of the new generation of China's football.
At the very least, it could make him widely known.
However, Qin Xiong left with his shoulder bag.
Whether Qin Xiong was willing or not, at least the reporter confirmed that there was a China player in Ajax who performed well in the "game."
Qin Xiong wanted to succeed. He also understood that as long as he succeeded, fame and fortune would accompany it. Before he succeeded, there was no need to spend time building his own reputation. He had to put all his energy into football.
That night, Ajax's first team played against Waalwijk at home. Comain's team finally ushered in a hearty victory after three small one-goal victories at the beginning of the season.
They sent off Waalwijk at 4: 1.
As Comain vented his grievances, Ajax's home ground finally rang with the overwhelming cheers of the fans.
.....
The training intensity of the reserve team was obviously higher than that of the youth team, but it was also relatively less than that of the first team.
Qin Xiong used two days to adapt to the training rhythm of the reserve team. In terms of the proportion of training items, there was a significant improvement in strength training. This was because in the professional arena, strength competition was the foundation of standing on the field.
Van Basten was first of all very satisfied with Qin Xiong's training attitude. Qin Xiong was simply a training model. As long as it was required by the coach, he would strive for perfection and strive to do the best.
The quality of the training also made van Basten greatly praise him.
In fact, when a player reached the age of 18, his technical ability was close to being fixed. In other words, if a 20-year-old player could not do a difficult technical move on the field, it was basically impossible for him to go through intensive training. After two or three years, this player could do it skillfully and freely on the field.
For example, if a player had talent when he was 10 years old and worked hard to learn the style of Zidane or Bergkamp, maybe he would show strong technical ability when he was 20 years old. But if a 20-year-old player worked hard in the direction of Zidane or Bergkamp's technical characteristics, five or ten years later, he would not be able to show the shadow of Zidane or Bergkamp.
Football had to be grasped from a young age!
At around the age of 18, technical ability and style of play were about the same. It laid the foundation for the entire future of the player's career. After that, the player could be purposefully guided to change the style of play and be modified according to the player's characteristics, but it could never be cultivated from the beginning.
Qin Xiong had laid the foundation for 15 years from the age of three to 18. He had accumulated a lot of knowledge, so now his technical ability was stronger than his peers, and he could use his own ability more flexibly and freely. This was his current wealth, and also the reason why he was valued by the coaches. If he was a blank piece of paper and had to learn everything from the beginning, sorry, no coach would spend time on him because his plasticity was too low. Success rate? Unless there was a miracle, at most, he could only become a third-rate professional league player.
Qin Xiong was excellent, but he was not perfect.
And his age gave him room to improve and further explore his potential.
Regardless of whether his teammates hated him or not, Qin Xiong began to feel grateful to Ajax.
In addition to Louis Van Gaal's additional private teaching, Van Basten would also coach Qin Xiong alone during training.
Louis Van Gaal gave Qin Xiong pointers on the team's technical and tactical aspects, while Van Basten's guidance fell on the details.
For example, the ball skills.
When Van Basten personally showed Qin Xiong his superb stopping skills, Qin Xiong was not convinced at first.
Van Basten kicked a ball straight into the air about 20 meters, and when the ball landed, he used the tip of his foot to remove the ball. And the football seemed to stick to his foot when it landed. It did not bounce up again and was directly in a static state.
Qin Xiong also imitated Van Basten. He kicked the ball into the air, and when the ball landed, he also used his foot to remove the ball. The effect was almost the same as what Van Basten had done.
Van Basten smiled at him and then kicked the ball to Esaias in the distance. He waved his hand and signaled for Esaias to make a long pass.
Esaias received the order and sent out a rather accurate long pass. The speed of the ball was quite fast.
Van Basten jogged to the landing point of the football and then used his foot to remove the ball. It was the same effect of lifting something heavy as if it was light. The football seemed to be stuck to the surface of his foot. As his foot landed, the ball also quietly landed at his foot.
Van Basten kicked the ball back to Esaias and smiled as he reached out his hand to signal Qin Xiong to try.
Esaias passed the ball again, and Qin Xiong ran to the landing point and stopped the ball. Although his stopping skills were already very good, the ball could not be controlled by him in an absolutely static state.
At that moment, Qin Xiong understood Van Basten's intention.
The game on the football field was never played in a static state!
Moreover, every attack and defense was a race against time.
If you stopped the ball for one second, or even half a second, you might miss a golden opportunity or cause a disaster!
Considering the local effect of a perfect stop, it would be crucial for an individual to get rid of the ball, protect the ball, and control the ball.
To put it bluntly, the most basic concept was: if you can't even stop the ball, how can you play football?
Of course, Van Basten's current requirements for Qin Xiong were obviously higher. It was so high that he needed him to practice his skills to the point of climbing to the peak of the Tree Shade World! Because Van Basten himself had once stood at the pinnacle of the world!
Therefore, when his teammates saw Van Basten's requirements for Qin Xiong, no one felt that it was harsh. They were only envious!
