During the national team competition, the DeTok Most training base always appears empty.

In the past two years since Ye Qiu joined Ajax, the team has made great efforts to prevent injuries from players. Ye Qiu has introduced very professional testing and prevention equipment from Adidas and the United States, and has paid enough attention to it in daily training.

Because of this, Ajax's players' injuries have never been serious. Whether it is a assault player like Robben, Van der Fate, or players in other positions, there are generally few injuries. Occasionally injured, they are minor injuries, or sports injuries during some games.

Mascherano's injuries belong to the latter, which is basically unavoidable by any means of prevention.

According to the regulations of Ajax's first team, injured players must come to the club every day for testing and treatment from the team doctor group. Therefore, even during the national team game week, Mascherano still needs to come to DeTok Most on time every day to resume training under the guidance of Peter Brandt and others.

He is the only one who trains in the entire DeTok Most. Even French international Abidal has been selected for the national team. Although he is only a fringe international, he is still an international player.

As for Arteta, who is also unable to be selected for the national team, he is the captain of Spain's U21, so he naturally has to register for the national youth team.

In the gym of DeTok Most, Mascherano was doing boring physical exercises alone, and his expression was filled with something called intertwined by loss and depression, because he had already clearly felt that in Ajax's starting lineup, DeJong had begun to firmly occupy the main midfielder.

Ye Qiu once told him that he promised to give him a chance, but the head coach did not break his promise for this, but he was not lucky. He had not adjusted his condition when he first came, and he needed to adapt to the environment of Ajax and European football. When he started to find some feelings, he was injured again.

Standing in front of the window of DeTokmos's medical room and looking at the training ground in the distance, Mascherano sighed helplessly, because he originally thought that joining Ajax meant his luck, but he didn't expect...

"Javier." Pim Van Dudd called him behind him.

The players all went to play national team games and the coaching staff also got a certain vacation, so the work naturally fell into the hands of Van Dude. The Dutch old man had nothing to do on weekdays, and it was just that time he worked a little harder.

"Mr. Van Dude!" Mascherano turned around and greeted him politely.

He learns Dutch very quickly, but is not very good yet. He can only give ordinary polite greetings or some more professional football terms. These are the ones that the club will give priority to when a translation is arranged by the club.

"You will hand over this document to you when you are training tomorrow morning." Van Dudders came over to a document.

Mascherano took it and opened it and saw that there was Pim Van Dude's signature below, and the content of the document proved that his injury was recovering well and he was able to participate in the team's training.

As soon as he saw the content of the document, Mascherano suddenly raised his head and looked at Van Dude, but the Argentinian who was so mature that he didn't look like an 18-year-old boy did not show any surprise. This made Van Dude wonder. Is this too young?

"Yes, boy, you can participate in training!" Van Dude's expression looked happier than Mascherano.

He has been in Ajax for so many years, and I don’t know how many players have recovered from his hands. Big brands such as Cruyff, Van Basten and others back then have been injured under Van Dude’s hands. The Dutch old man has always regarded this job as his greatest interest in life and his most proud thing.

"Thank you, Mr. Van Dude!" Mascherano was very mature and polite.

Van Dude smiled, a little helpless. He would rather see this Argentine boy as youthful as an ordinary 18-year-old child, but he looked very mature and even a little dull and talked little.

"Don't care about the game and the starter, kid." Van Dude has been watching Mascherano these days and guessed the little kid's mood. "You know, the team is fighting in the three-line field in the Eredivisie, the Dutch Cup and the Champions League. There are so many games a year, and no one can play all the games."

"The opportunity will come again sooner or later. Raising a good body is more important than anything else. The most important thing for professional players is this body. Without him, you will start every game and you will still not be able to play."

When he said this, Van Dud patted Mascherano on the shoulder, "He is the capital for you to gain a foothold in Ajax!"

Mascherano's mouth seemed to have changed a curve, as if he wanted to laugh, but he nodded to cover it up.

Watching Mascherano walk out of the medical room, Van Dudd shook his head and sighed, "Poor child."

He also thought that Mascherano's youth was forced by some poor families in South America, but he didn't know that this kid left home since he was a child, so he was a little lonely, but he was not the kind of person who was not sociable. He just didn't talk much and was not good at expressing his feelings.

Mascherano walked out of the medical room and was about to go to the first team when he saw Ye Qiu at the intersection.

"Hi, Javier!" Ye Qiu, who just returned from London, looked in a good mood.

"Hello, head!" Mascherano nodded to Ye Qiu and took the initiative to give way.

When Ye Qiu passed by, he patted Mascherano on the shoulder and walked into the medical room.

"Pim!" Ye Qiu shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Pim Van Dud walked out of it and smiled as soon as he saw Ye Qiu, "Why are you back early?"

Ye Qiu pointed to the door, obviously pointing to Mascherano, "How is he doing? It's been more than a month."

Straining is very troublesome, either big or small. Ye Qiu has always been very careful, not hoping that he would not recover from the injury, leaving hidden dangers for the players in the future. Therefore, even during the holidays, he specifically reminded Van Dude to be careful to look at Mascherano.

"No problem. I test and count him every day, and the situation recovers very well. I agree that he trains with the team. You will receive a report tomorrow. At that time, let the first-team team doctor perform more detailed tests for him and verify it."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, "Thank you, Pim!" After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey!" Van Dud stopped him, "I think that boy has no health problems, but his mood is a bit bad."

Ye Qiu noticed just now that Mascherano looked a little depressed. Now that Van Dude said this, he felt that this should be taken seriously. After all, the rookie player's injury for a month may cause a lot of various pressures and troubles.

Sometimes, the coaching staff is not omnipotent at all, and it is impossible to understand everything about the players. After all, no one is willing to share all their thoughts and ideas with the coaching staff. If you manage too much, they will think you manage too much. If you manage too little, you may not be able to fully understand them.

This is the contradiction, and it is also the place where a head coach's ability is considered.

"Perhaps, you should know what he is bothering, and think of a way for yourself!" Van Dude waved his hand to Ye Qiu with a smile.

Ye Qiu smiled, he could guess what the reason was.

…………

With the gradual development of the Southeast New City in recent years, it has gradually become an important commercial prosperous area in Amsterdam. The rental market in Amsterfen District has gradually become popular and is expanding more and more southward.

In the south, some developers have specially built some three or four-story residential buildings. The first floor is shops, and each floor upstairs is a single apartment, which is specially used for renting or selling, specifically to cater to customers who need to rent a house.

Mascherano lives in such a third-floor apartment, two bedrooms and one living room, which is a little smaller and is very spacious for living alone. Sometimes his parents and family members will come here, but they usually only stay for a few days before going back.

Mascherano has become accustomed to his life alone. He has forgotten when he started living alone. In short, he started at a very young age, so he will not feel uncomfortable at all.

But sometimes it's quite boring.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, I looked at many Dutch TV stations that I couldn't understand. After all, I went around and went to sports and football games. After all, football is the common language of the whole world. Anyway, I can't understand the explanation, so I just watched the scene by myself, it's okay.

The TV is broadcasting the European Cup qualifiers between the Netherlands and Belarus. The final result of this game was 3:0. Edvokat's Dutch national team defeated Belarus and successfully won a victory.

In this game, many Ajax players appeared, with goalkeepers Van der Sar, Van der Fate, Robben, Van der Med, Sneider, Hetinga and De Jong all representing the Netherlands, while Heleb wore a Belarusian jersey.

Today, Ajax is no longer the Ajax team of the past. Although Edvokat is called the head coach of the Eindhoven faction, he actually has to reuse and promote this group of young players in Ajax, because in the past three years, this group of players has performed very well.

The second team won the Dutch Cup championship, which created the history of Dutch football. The 00/01 season was the second and second place and the League Cup championship, and the last season was the Eredivisie champion and the semi-finals of the Champions League. This dazzling result made the entire Netherlands amazed at this group of young players.

Robben and Van der Fate have both established a foothold in the Dutch national team, Van der Sar is also the main goalkeeper, while others are supplemented by stardom, Frank Debor, Van Bomel, Koku, Davis, Cruivet and Van Nystruey. The Dutch national team is very strong.

The first goal of the Netherlands was Davis assisting Cruivet, and the second goal was Robben's breakthrough cross from the left to assist Cruivet, while the third goal was Van der Fate's two-pass cooperation with Cruivet, and then assisted Van Nystrue's goal, and all three goals were very exciting.

Just as the overall situation of the game was decided, Edvocart made consecutive substitutions, playing three players, Heatinga, Sneider and De Jong, obviously in order to further train the players.

At this moment, the doorbell at the door of the house was ringed.

Mascherano put down the remote control of the TV in his hand, and it was a little strange. There were very few people here except his family and agents. Who would visit at this time?

When I looked out at the cat's eyes, I saw a big open hand with five fingers stretched out very straight.

"Who?" Mascherano was not afraid of being robbed, so he directly opened the door lock and asked.

"I haven't recognized me yet when I see my hand?" Van der Sar's voice came in.

"That's right, in the Netherlands, he has the largest, longest and easiest to recognize. He doesn't know our captain!" It was Lucio.

"Your hands are the largest and longest!" Van der Sar retorted.

As he was talking, the door opened and Mascherano was stunned to find that Van der Sar, Lucio, Hunterlaer and other teammates were carrying things in big bags.

"You guys..." Mascherano was a little surprised, but more confused.

"Please give me!" Lucio had already snatched into Mascherano's house, "Hey, Javier, do you have a kitchen at home?" This Brazilian was carefree and looked like he was returning to his own home.

"Yes, what are you doing there?" Mascherano pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"By the way, are there any barbecue grills?" Abidal asked this time, and he was carrying a lot of things in his hand.

"Yes!" I believe most Argentinians have a barbecue grill at home, "on the balcony."

"This bastard said that their Brazilian barbecue is better than your Argentine barbecue. I don't believe it. He said he would show off his skills later."

Mascherano is a little confused. What should these people compare to show their cooking skills and come to their own home?

But soon, he was surprised to find that his teammates came upstairs one after another, and almost everyone was carrying things in their hands, either food or drinks.

The house, which was originally not spacious, suddenly rushed into so many people, and was filled with stuff.

The last ones arrived were Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, and Derong, who was limping while walking.

"What's wrong with your legs?" Mascherano saw De Jong's knee joints wrapped in bandages and gauze, and it was a little strange.

"Don't mention it, unlucky!" De Rong kept shook his head.

Sneider, who was standing by, shook his head and smiled, "I spent less than 10 minutes on the national team, but I was hit by Ramachenko from Belarus and got out of the game."

"He didn't mean it!" Hleb explained to his teammates and compatriots in his national team.

"I know, I know, that's why I said it's unlucky!" Derong was a little depressed.

As there are more people, it will naturally become lively.

Seeing that this small house could not accommodate so many people, they simply cleaned up the living room, moved all the furniture, made a large area, and then started to cook food by themselves.

Mascherano is not a person who likes to be lively. On the contrary, he enjoys the purity a little, but so many teammates come to the door, he thinks it is not as simple as just for a dinner, because if you want to have a dinner, you can go to a restaurant or other places.

But it was obvious that the teammates did not seem to be ready to tell him the reason. The Brazilian Gang BBQ, led by Lucio, was ready. They were actively preparing the ingredients, and the Argentine Gang BBQ was responsible for fighting against the Brazilian Gang BBQ.

"Hey, Javier, it's too much to bully people. Everyone comes to your door and fight with them. We support you!"

"Yes, these guys are so bullying that they even come to challenge them, which is not a good thing!"

"Don't worry, no matter how bad you make it, we will give you a chance to win!"
