After the League Cup ended, Xiao Yu got two days off.
He also flew to Amsterdam with Elena, and he also promised Elena that he would accompany her "back to her parents' home" if nothing happened.
In addition to chatting with his future father-in-law's family, Xiao Yu also went to the future training base under the leadership of Bergkamp to meet Wu Lei, Yan Junling, and Zhang Yuning.
Wu Lei is almost 20 years old this year. Bergkamp also said that his consciousness is good, but his body and basic skills are too weak.
Yan Junling has performed well. Now he has incorporated the two of them into the youth team and will compete with the team in the Dutch Second Division in the second half of the season.
As for Zhang Yuning, he is indeed too young. He was born in 1997 and is less than 14 years old this year. However, Bergkamp also ranked him in the U15 echelon.
Originally, Zhang Yuning's parents were planning to rent a house in Amsterdam to accompany her to school, but under Xiao Yu's suggestion, they also accepted the plan to visit their child for a few months, which would also allow the child to grow more independently.
These three former international players are indeed not much worse than their European counterparts in terms of overall quality, but the domestic football environment is not yet suitable for their growth.
Now with the sudden rise of Xiao Yu, Europe's attitude towards Chinese players is no longer mascots who need to bring sponsorship. Many small clubs are also thinking about whether they can find the next Xiao Yu in China, although they may not be able to make them. No matter how much your team's performance improves, it can at least bring a lot of income to the club.
While wandering around the future training base, Xiao Yu suddenly heard someone shouting: De Ligt, pull back! Retracement!
Xiao Yu also took a look with interest, and found that the person being called was indeed a blond boy.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of his previous life, the Golden Boy Award winner in 2018 and the Kopa Award winner in 2019. He has extremely comprehensive skills, precise positioning, and is good at playing the ball. He will be the main central defender of the Netherlands in the future.
He also waited with interest on the sidelines until the children's training was over. Before Bergkamp could introduce him, little Dericht rushed to Xiao Yu and asked in a sweet voice: "Brother, who are you?" Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Yu also smiled, squatted down and said, "Yes! Is your name Dericht?"
"Well! Matthijs de Ligt! You are my idol, can you sign your autograph for me?"
Little Dericht asked expectantly.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Yu and Bergkamp beside him were both amused by the little guy. Xiao Yu also touched his little head and replied with a smile: "Of course, but are you willing to sign a contract with my brother? I’ll go play football with my brother in the future!”
"Yes!" De Ligt answered without any thought.
Xiao Yu also turned around and said to Bergkamp: "Uncle, I want Elena to sign him. Can Ajax agree?"
"It's no problem. I'll just talk to McCann." Bergkamp actually didn't quite understand why Xiao Yu fell in love with him because he was just a teenager. He was not outstanding now. This would-be son-in-law always did things that were incomprehensible, but he still chose to believe it.
Xiao Yu also signed De Ligt's jersey, but then a large group of young players came over. Xiao Yu was too embarrassed to disappoint a certain child, so he could only stay here for nearly ten minutes.
But he took off his scarf again, signed it and gave it to your little Dericht. He didn't expect that such a simple action would make him have a little fan behind him in the future, but that It’s all a story for later.
Seeing De Ligt, Xiao Yu also suddenly remembered that in his previous life, the national football team had a post-2000 central defender named Zhu Chenjie. The national football team's defense has always been a problem. Zhu Chenjie was chosen by Lippi and he also has outstanding abilities.
Thinking of it, he quickly sent a WeChat message to Dapeng, saying that there was another Zhu Chenjie in Shanghai, who should be about 10 years old now, and asked him to find him.
Returning to London on the 28th, Xiao Yu also began to prepare for the FA Cup away game against Everton.
