De Blaunet was obviously not a talkative person. Even when he wanted to answer Yang Yang ’s question, he suddenly found out that he did n’t know where to start. Finally, under Yang Yang ’s guidance, he spoke. My own experience in practice.
Undoubtedly, he has been a leader among his peers since he was a child, and was quickly picked up by the big Belgian team Genk at that time, becoming a part of the Genk youth camp, and at the age of fourteen, Alone came to Genk.
"I think I am a person who likes to try and even adventurous. Although many people don't think so, at the age of 14, I really decided to go to Genk."
"I moved from this end of Belgium to the other end to readjust myself to a completely strange environment. This was a terrible thing to my parents, but I decided to do it, and it turned out that later The inconveniences in life, and the problems caused by the local accent when I talked, made me look at it differently in Genk, and I felt very lonely. "
"The school is a two-hour drive away from home. I have no way to go home every day. I can only take the time to go home to see my parents during the holiday on Sundays. During the two years at the Genk Youth Camp, I had no friends There are no partners, no social interaction, and even regular teasing from teammates. These two years have been too long. "
Yang Yang listened to the words of De Blaunet and nodded incessantly, he felt the same way.
The year in Almere was really very, very long, and every day seemed like a year of suffering.
He has no friends. Although his uncle's family is taking care of him, it is not his own parents. He has no way to describe many things. Many grievances and pains in his heart can only be suffered by himself.
Because, choosing to play in the Netherlands is his own decision.
"I like to play football. Whenever I play football, all my worries, problems, troubles, bad feelings ... will all disappear. I think playing football is a very beautiful thing, so in that period I was the most When I was lonely, football always accompanied me, comforted me, and understood me. "
"Later, I encountered one thing. The club's treatment for me has improved, and I have been placed in a boarding house with a fan family. You know, this is a normal state of youth training in European clubs. Many foreign youth players will Choose to stay with a fan family and feel the warmth of the family. "
Yang Yang understood that because Ajax had also considered boarding him in the family of fans, but he chose to live by himself, and he was also 16 or 7 years old at the time, slightly larger than De Blaunet.
"But did you know? In fact, homestay fan families are sometimes not simple, they accept you not just because you are a club youth player, not just because of football, but also involve more things And during the semester of boarding, I was still alone. I usually stay alone in the room on weekdays. I am not a stranger who likes to cause trouble to people, especially strangers who I am not familiar with. "
"My semester was good and I played well. There were no bad records. It looked smooth. But when I finished the semester and just returned home, I saw my mother crying. She said that the club Just informed her that the family I stayed in did not want me to go back. They thought I was too quiet and too lonely to communicate with them. They felt that my personality was a problem. "
"I do n’t understand, because I said goodbye to them just before I went home. They also let me enjoy the summer vacation. They will meet them again soon, but in a blink of an eye, they seem to have changed. A face, and more importantly, they have never said anything similar to me in person, and we have never had any conflicts. "
"I am not a top student in school, nor a good player in the youth team. After listening to the feedback from the host family, the club at the time felt that I had become a problem and clearly told my parents that they would not To arrange a new homestay for me, I can only live back to the dormitory, which is a dormitory specially prepared for problem students. "
When Yang Yang heard this, he felt somewhat empathetic. He had not experienced many things, but he had experienced similar things.
Many fans read in the newspaper that young players are staying with fans' families. What a beautiful and pure thing it looks like, but actually?
Is it true that the fan family accepts a strange young player simply because they are fans? Because of the club's subsidies?
The problems encountered by De Braun are definitely not alone, and countless stars of hope fall on this issue every year.
"That summer was difficult, so I started to practice hard. I practiced for hours every day. I was training almost crazy. I felt a raging fire in my body. It almost made me crazy. I wanted to prove myself. To tell everyone, I have no problem. "
"After returning to Genk, I successfully entered the second team, and then in a game, I came off the bench in the second half and got a chance. I completely went crazy and scored five goals in a row, and From the second team to the first team in two months, and have a firm foothold, I let everyone completely change my impression. "
"The club is willing to find a new homestay for me. My teammates start to recognize me and start to communicate with me. The accent of my speech is no longer a problem. Some fans started to ask for my signature, and my homestay family Find me again, trying to prove that it was a misunderstanding, but I refused them rudely. "
"But you know, then they started to appear in the newspaper and kept receiving various media reports. About my lonely personality and about what happened in my homestay, they were exposed to the media publicly, and I became An unpopular player has caused many people to have a preconceived impression of me. "
Yang Yang listened silently, but nodded continuously.
The media and football are interdependent, but many times, the media is really annoying players.
For example, Hames Rodriguez, when he joined the new season, the media was very hyped about him, but after losing to the Royal Society 2 to 4 and losing to Atletico 0 to 1, he stepped in directly. Hell, saying that Real Madrid's 80 million euros have been floated, but then, the Colombian players began to perform well again, and his praise was overwhelming.
Now, there are even many media who believe that he should replace Di Maria and get qualified, so if Real Madrid won Barcelona 5 to 1 at home, if the derby defeat in the century, many media will definitely take Dimar Leah replaced Hames Rodriguez to attack Ancelotti.
Can Hames Rodriguez really be so good?
The answer is clear, no!
The simplest comparison is that he does not have the breakthrough ability of Di Maria on the right.
These are two different types of players. How can they be compared in the simplest and most direct way?
Players are generally relatively young, and everyone likes to see their names in the news papers, but if they read this kind of report more often, if they do n’t have the abilities of self-judgment, they start to blindly think how good they really are. How important is it, and what are the consequences?
What happened to De Braun and what happened to Hames Rodriguez were not exceptions, but normal.
As a professional player, there is no way to change the environment of public opinion, so you can only adapt to it or even use it.
While Yang Yang had mixed tastes, De Braun's story continued.
"When I came to Chelsea, I was not in the club's plan. They rented me to Werder Bremen, where I performed very well, so I returned to Chelsea."
"That summer, many clubs wanted to sign me, including Klopp in Dortmund. He called me actively, but Mourinho told me they wanted me to stay and be part of the team. I In his plan, I agreed without hesitation. "
"But during the preseason, I made some mistakes in the game. I was abandoned by the coaching staff. They didn't even have the opportunity to explain to me. Until December, Mourinho called me to him. In his office, he gave me some documents and told me that one assist, zero goals, and ten anti-robbing, this is my half-time stats. "
"He compared with me a lot of other offensive players' data, such as Oscar, William, Mata, their data are much better than me, maybe five goals, ten assists or something, but I told Mu Rinho, they all got 15 to 20 games, and I only have three games. "
"I don't think he can do this. On the one hand, he doesn't give me a chance to play, but on the other hand, he accuses me of having bad data. If he simply doesn't let me play, would he accuse me of not contributing to the team? Not fair to me! "
"So, I told Mourinho that I wanted the club to sell me, so I went to Wolfsburg during the winter break, and played a good half of the season, and the reason that made me stick is football , I am eager to play football, I am eager to play, I am eager to prove myself with performance, show everyone, let them understand me, understand me. "
De Braun's last words were almost a cry from the heart, and the whole person's face was red.
Yang Yang suddenly understood why he would resonate with De Braun because they were really similar.
At the same time, he also began to understand why De Blaunet is desperately practicing the ball, because he has been difficult to get a chance to play in Real Madrid recently.
Ancelotti is not Mourinho, and there is Zidane in the coaching staff. What happened in Chelsea will definitely not happen in Real Madrid. More game opportunities.
He came to Real Madrid, not to sit on the bench, but to prove himself.
He needs Real Madrid to give him this opportunity.
