"Except for the first team, all other echelons of Ajax belong to the youth team sequence, including our second team that is competing in the Dutch second league. In fact, it is also called Ajax Youth Team (Young Ajax).

Below the second team is what we commonly call the U19 youth team (Ajax juniors). Below this team are all the echelons from U7 to U18. There is an echelon for each age group. Those who perform well in each age echelon will enter the U19

Youth team, this U19 youth team will represent Ajax in the UEFA Champions League youth league and the Dutch youth team league. Of course, these are youth team level competitions. If you want to play in the professional league, then you have to work hard to get promoted.

He has joined the second team - I am more accustomed to calling him the second team, otherwise it will be confused."

"Then - Mr. Van der Sar, will I go to the U15 team?"

"No, no, no, Lin, although you have never been exposed to football before, your physical fitness is too good and your talent is too good, so we will let you directly enter the U18 echelon, which is the highest level in the youth echelon.

.Next I hope to hear the good news that you have entered the youth team, and I believe it won’t be long.”

Subsequently, Van der Sar personally brought Lin Kedi to the U18 echelon training venue of the Ajax Youth Academy.

This is a large training ground, consisting of four small fields divided into squares. Next to these four small fields is a standard football field.

However, there are no stands on both sides, only some simple benches to serve as substitute benches.

Lin Kedi looked around with curiosity.

At this time, Enzo Silence, the head coach of the U18 team, saw the two people who entered his territory.

He didn't know Lin Kedi, but he was very familiar with Van der Sar who was next to Lin Kedi.

So far away, as soon as he noticed it, he immediately ran over.

"Edwin, you rarely come to our place? You go to the green zone every time. We are obviously less than 10 meters away from the green zone! But you have only been here this season and you can count them on one hand.

Come here as many times as you like."

As soon as he saw Van der Sar, Enzo immediately complained.

Van der Sar did not answer Enzo first.

Instead, he turned to Lin Kedi and said: "The green zone is over there - the U19 youth team, the top of the Ajax youth team system. Many of the players there are already regulars in the second team, and some of them even

He won’t go to the second team at all, but will be directly promoted to the first team.”

Enzo was very surprised when he saw Van der Sar taking the initiative to talk to the black-haired Asian boy next to him.

"Edwin, this is——"

"Enzo, you don't pay too much attention to the news about your team. The talented boy we just signed today——"

"No way, I have set the Ajax youth team as my main business, and I will receive reminders whenever there is a new release, but I didn't receive it——"

"This news was posted on the homepage."

"Home page? You mean Ajax's home page?"

"Yes, so, I brought him to you. His name is Lin Kedi - he is a very, very talented player -"

When Enzo came back to his senses, he immediately realized that the young man in front of him must have extraordinary talents to be valued so highly by Van der Sar.

He personally brought young players to the training base of the youth team, and the official announcement news was posted on the team's homepage. These actions all illustrate one thing, that is, this Asian boy must have very top talents to be treated like this.

.

Enzo can't wait.

But Van der Sar immediately grabbed him.

"Wait a minute. I still have something to talk to you about. Lin, please stay here for a while."

With that said, Van der Sar took Lin Kedi aside.

"Lin was born on May 29, 2001, and is only 15 years old this year. When we found him, he played as a left winger, but obviously, he is now 1.75 meters tall and has a very well-proportioned figure.

We have measured his muscle mass. His physical fitness is very good, and it is not a problem to play center. It is up to you to train him. But there is one thing I want to explain-"

Enzo was very happy to hear this, because the forward line of the U18 echelon is quite weak. Now that a talented forward who is so valued has come, it is of course a very good thing for the U18 echelon.

But——

"He has never been exposed to professional football youth team training before. Therefore, his physical fitness and many teamwork aspects, he is actually very lacking——"

"How is his feel for the ball? How is his speed? Or I ask, what is his genius that makes you attach so much importance to a 15-year-old player who has never been exposed to professional football training?"

"His feel for the ball and his speed, I can only comment like this. When I saw his trial training video for the first time, I thought I was seeing Messi playing football. The feel of the ball and the frequency of his feet were...

Unparalleled, and his speed and physical fitness, at his age, are like Messi!"

Enzo looked sideways at Van der Sar.

"Edwin, are you serious?"

"Of course, but he still has many shortcomings. I hope you can quickly adapt him to professional football training. This is the player I am most optimistic about over the years."

With that said, Van der Sar patted Enzo on the shoulder, and then walked towards Lin Kedi.

"Next, I will hand you over to the U18 head coach Enzo Silence. Our staff has put your luggage in your dormitory. Here is the key to the dormitory, with the house number on it -

—One more thing, there will be someone from the club to take you to school tomorrow to report. Lin——"

Van der Sar looked at Lin Kedi.

"From today on, you will officially join Ajax."

After speaking, he touched Lin Kedi’s hair.

The next time will be left to Lin Kedi and Enzo Sirens.

"Okay, Lin Kedi - in U18, most players call me coach, and you can call me that too. However, I have never coached Asian players before, so are you Japanese or Korean -"<

/p>

"I'm Chinese, coach, just call me Lin."

"Chinese? I remember there seemed to be a Chinese player in the first team of PSV a long time ago. It seems that our reserve team also signed a Chinese player two years ago, but it seems that he went to Portugal a year later. Now there seems to be one in The Hague.

A Chinese player. Now we finally have a Chinese player."

Lin Kedi had been observing when Enzo was talking. He noticed that Enzo spoke quite casually and seemed to be a person who was easy to get along with.

"Okay, I heard Mr. E-van der Sar talk about your situation, but I still want to take a look at some of your specific situations, so there will be some basic actions that you need to do. Today is U18

It's a rest day, so the players are not here - so I say that Mr. Van der Sar is really not familiar with us, otherwise I can let you and the team members get familiar with each other today - I won't say so much, let's do it first

."

So——

40 minutes later.

Enzo held Lin Kedi's shoulders with excitement on his face.
Chapter completed!
