Ajax's work efficiency is still very reliable.
In just one day, Priscilla Jensen handled Yang Yang's transfer matters and also handled the handover with Almere Club. During this period, Yang Yang went to Almere Club to bid farewell to John Rep, Dick Vanpur and others.
From the moment he signed his name on the Ajax contract, he no longer belonged to Almere.
John Rep and Dick Vanpur both encouraged Yang Yang to continue working hard in DeTok Most, and also hoped that he would take time to come back to Almere more. That night, teammates such as Henk Dimel and Nick also went to the Chinese restaurant to say goodbye to Yang Yang.
The next day, the Chinese restaurant was closed, and the uncle Shen Ming and his family drove Yang Yang to Amsterdam.
The rented house Ajax is located between Amsterfen and the Southeast New Town. It is a small town called Odkerk, three kilometers away from DeTok Most. The town has only seven or eight thousand residents, with a small population, but its scenery is beautiful.
The Amster River, from north to south, passes through the west of the town, and a tributary horizontally divides the town into two parts, north and south, and finally pours into the Odkerk Lake in the east, which is next to the A2 Expressway and the Southeast New Town in the east, and is an endless pasture from north to south.
When I first saw the scenery of the Dutch ranch, Yang Yang, who was sitting in the car and driving on the A9 expressway, felt very relaxed and happy.
After getting off the highway at the intersection of Odkerk, I followed the map and quickly found the town's sports center and library on the north bank of the river. I turned left at the intersection less than 400 meters east, and easily found Yang Yang's rented house with the door sign.
This typical old Dutch building has a large attic on a single floor and a utility room next to it, but no garage.
The entire street is lined up, all of which are of the same style. If it weren't for the door sign, it would be easy to make mistakes.
When getting off the bus, Yang Yang looked around. There was basically nothing special. There were a few cars parked sparsely by the roadside. Among them, the Porsche 911turbo parked at the door of the house opposite was the best. The other cars were probably not as valuable as this car, but the owner lived in the same house as Yang Yang.
Yang Yang quickly walked to the door and rang the doorbell. Soon a noise came from inside.
As soon as the door opened, everyone was surprised and lost their voice inside and outside.
"It's you?!" Both of them spoke in unison.
The one who opened the door was the Belgian central defender Thomas Fermuren that Yang Yang met in the amateur game.
"You are the new player Priscilla is talking about?" Fermuren was a little surprised.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the roommate would be you." Yang Yang was also very happy. He had played a game.
He still admires Thomas Fermuren's strength.
"Stop talking, come in quickly."
Fermall enthusiastically helped Yang Yang carry his luggage and invited him and Shen Ming's family to enter.
According to him, he just moved in the past two days and has been staying in a hotel before.
"Although I have signed to Ajax since 2001, this is my first time in the Netherlands and I am still very strange to all of this." Fermall said awkwardly.
The attic on the second floor has two bedrooms, each with a separate bathroom, and the first floor is the living room, kitchen and public bathroom.
The house is not big, but it is cleaned up very neatly. It is obviously done deliberately before they move in. After they move in, they can choose to take care of themselves or hire hourly workers to clean up, but they have to take care of the fees themselves.
Fermall had already moved into one of the rooms, so Yang Yang naturally chose the other one. Fortunately, the room was large enough, and the ventilation and lighting were ideal, so Yang Yang was also very satisfied.
Uncle Shen Ming and the other two helped Yang Yang clean the room and looked around. It was really good, and there was no other place to clean up. When he saw that Yang Yang and Fermalen were able to talk, he felt relieved.
After all, Yang Yang is already sixteen years old. If he is based on the domestic virtual summer algorithm, he will be almost eighteen.
Before leaving, his uncle, aunt and cousin took away the number of rented houses and told him to contact him more and call him as soon as possible if he had something to do. Yang Yang was moved and reluctant to leave. After all, he has been living in his uncle's house for the past year.
After seeing off his uncle and his family of three, Yang Yang quickly calmed down and he was immersed in the freshness of his new life.
According to Fermall's introduction, there is a supermarket not far north when you go out, and all the ingredients can be bought there. The hospital is in the northwest, and the walking distance is about 500 meters, which is very convenient.
But eating is a little more troublesome. If you don’t make it yourself, you have to go out to eat a restaurant and go west along the river to the library and go three or four hundred meters away. There are many restaurants there, but there are only no Chinese restaurants, which makes Yang Yang very depressed.
But it doesn't matter. At worst, you can try to solve the problem of three meals a day and try to solve them at school and DeTok Most. If you don't have it, you can do it yourself. After all, Yang Yang has also been in Chinese restaurants for a year and has been stealing skills. There is definitely no problem in taking care of his belly.
During the conversation with Fermulen, Yang Yang learned that Odkerk was very close to DeTok Most, so many Ajax players rented here.
"Guess who is living opposite us?" Fermall asked pretending to be mysterious.
Yang Yang immediately remembered the cool Porsche 911. He originally thought that it was a rich man, but he didn't expect it to be an Ajax player. He immediately became curious and asked, "Who?"
“Ibrahimovic.”
"Is it him?" Yang Yang was full of surprise.
"I heard that he originally lived in Dimen, but later he moved here and not far from him, there was also a Fiat-based house at the door, which was the Brazilian player Maxwell's house. They were both the first-team buddies."
Yang Yang was really surprised. Unexpectedly, there were still many Ajax players living here.
But this is good, and we can take care of each other.

…………
At noon, Yang Yang and Fermall rented a house, arrived at the intersection again, walked 500 meters eastward, and took a bus to DeTok Moster, two kilometers away.
According to Jensen's previous reminder, Yang Yang went to the club to complete the registration procedures, paid 20 euros insurance fees, and received a complete set of Adidas training equipment, from football shoes to training uniforms. This was provided to the youth team for free after Adidas sponsored Ajax.
After getting the equipment, under the guidance of Fermulen, Yang Yang came to the locker room of the second team again and chose a cabinet that was useless. After tidying up, Yang Yang came to the office of the head coach of the second team again.
Van Basten's office door was open. As soon as Yang Yang stood at the door, Van Basten saw him and immediately waved to him with a smile, signaling him to enter quickly.
"Boss." Yang Yang called respectfully.
If it was in the past, Yang Yang could call Van Basten Marco, but since he became a Van Basten player, he should call him the boss like all other players.
"Okay." Van Basten was so happy that he couldn't stop after seeing Yang Yang. He signaled Yang Yang to sit down before he continued to speak, introducing the current situation of Ajax's second team. The main reason is that there are many players drawn from the first team, and the second team is short of staff.
"We have a lot of pressure on the game in the new season. We have to play in the league and the Dutch Cup. I hope you can prepare for the new season, especially in terms of physical fitness reserves. We must adjust this period before the season."
From his tone, Yang Yang could feel that Van Basten had high hopes for him.
Fred Arroyo told him that it was Van Basten who ordered him to join the second team.
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do my best." Yang Yang assured solemnly.
"Don't be nervous, this is your first season. Whether it is the league or the Dutch Cup, it is a challenge for you, especially the Dutch Cup. We have to face not only other teams, second teams or low-level league teams, but even teams in the Eredivisie."
The Netherlands' Cup is different from the Cups in other countries. The second team can participate, while Ajax's second team has never been bad. It often makes people unpopular in the Dutch Cup, and sometimes even faces the Eredivisie team.
As for the league, Ajax II will participate in the Dutch Youth League One, and their opponents are basically youth teams of the Dutch Eredivisie and Dutch Second Professional Teams, and each team is very strong, which is also a new challenge for Yang Yang.
As early as in the amateur competition, Yang Yang encountered hard battles whether facing Warrendan or Ajax, and Yang Yang also gained a lot in these hard battles and encountered challenges from different opponents.
But that was the cup, with only two or three strong opponents, but the next thing was different. Every opponent in the league was of good strength, and you might even encounter the Feyenoord youth team and Eindhoven's youth team, which are also full of geniuses. This is also a great challenge for Yang Yang.
However, if the challenge can be withstood, Yang Yang's progress will undoubtedly be faster.
"In addition to playing against opponents, you also need to learn how to adjust your state. You need to know that the span of a season is very long. How to maintain your state during this long period is a very profound knowledge."
Van Basten introduced earnestly, "If you only perform well in a few occasional games, it is meaningless. Even if your performance fluctuates too much, it is difficult to gain a foothold in a team. Only by trying to maintain your competitive state as stable as possible can you be considered a qualified professional player."
Yang Yang knew that this was Van Basten's professional experience. He was able to tell him this when he first met, which shows how Van Basten valued him, so he was very sincere and humble in his teaching, saying that he would work hard and would resolutely follow the arrangements of the coaching staff, and would not disappoint Van Basten.
Van Basten also advised Yang Yang, "I know you have always had the habit of practicing more in Almere. I am not against you practicing more, but want to remind you to be moderate and not backfire. Excessive work will not be good for you to maintain your own state."
Yang Yang was not worried at all about this. After all, Lao Bing from the super training ground helped him control it, and he believed that there would be no major problems in this regard.
