Chapter 1227 This Is Unfair to Me!

De Bruyne is obviously not a talkative person. Even when he wanted to answer Yang Yang's question, he suddenly found that he didn't know where to start. Finally, under the guidance of Yang Yang, he said My own practice experience.

There is no doubt that he was a leader among his peers since he was a child, and he was quickly spotted by Genk, a big Belgian team at the time, and became a member of the Genk youth training camp. At the age of fourteen, he Came to Genk alone.

"I think I'm an experimenter, even an adventurous person in my bones, and although many people don't think so, at the age of fourteen, I really decided to go to Genk."

"Moving from one side of Belgium to the other by myself and re-adapting to a completely new environment was scary for my parents, but I decided to give it a go and, as it turned out, All the inconveniences in life, the problems caused by the regional accent when speaking, all made me look different in Genk, and I felt extremely lonely."

"The school is two hours away from home. I can't go home every day. I can only go home to visit my parents every Sunday during the holidays. During the two years in the Genk youth training camp, I had no friends. , without partners, without any social interaction, and even often being teased by teammates, those two years were too long."

Listening to De Bruyne's words, Yang Yang kept nodding his head, and he also felt this 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, they are not his parents after all. He has no way to talk about many things, and he can only bear many grievances and pains in his heart silently.

Because, choosing to play football in the Netherlands is his own decision.

"I like playing football. Whenever I play football, all the troubles, problems, troubles, bad feelings...all disappear. I think playing football is a very beautiful thing, so during that period I was the most When I am alone, football has always been with me, comforting me and understanding me."

"Later, something happened to me. The club gave me a better treatment and arranged me to stay with a fan family. You know, this is a normal state in the youth training of European clubs. Many youth training players from other places will Choose to stay in a fan family and feel the warmth of the family."

Yang Yang understood, because Ajax also considered letting him stay with the fan's family, but he chose to live by himself, and he was already sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, slightly older than De Bruyne.

"But do you know? In fact, sometimes the host families are not pure. They accept you not only because you are a youth player of the club, not only because of football, but also because of other things. , and during the semester of boarding, I was still alone, and I was alone in the room on weekdays. I am not a person who likes to cause trouble to others, especially strangers I don’t know well.”

"That semester my grades were good, I played football well, I didn't have any bad records, and it seemed to be going well, but when I finished the semester and just returned home, I saw my mother crying, she said, the club I just informed her that the family I'm staying with doesn't want me to go back, they think I'm too quiet and withdrawn to communicate with them, they think I have a personality problem."

"I don't understand, because the moment before I went home, I said goodbye to them, and they let me enjoy the summer vacation, and I will see them again soon, but in a blink of an eye, they seem to have changed. A face, and more importantly, they never said anything like that to my face, and we never had any conflicts."

"I wasn't a top student in school, and I wasn't a top performer in the youth team. The club at the time, after listening to the feedback from the host family, also felt that I was a problem and made it clear to my parents that they would not do it again. Arrange a new host family for me, and I can only live back in the dormitory, which is specially prepared for problem students."

Hearing this, Yang Yang feels somewhat empathetic. He has never experienced many things, but he has experienced similar ones.

Many fans read in the newspapers that young players live in fans' families. It seems so beautiful and pure, but in reality?

Could it be that the fan family accepts a strange young player just because they are fans? Because of the little subsidy from the club?

The problems encountered by De Bruyne are definitely not isolated cases. Every year, countless stars of hope fall on this problem.

"That summer vacation was very difficult, so I started to practice desperately. I practiced for hours every day. I trained almost crazily. I felt a raging fire in my body. It almost made me crazy. I wanted to prove myself. I To tell everyone, I have no problem."

"After returning to Genk, I successfully entered the second team. Then in a game, I came off the bench in the second half and got a chance. I went completely crazy and scored five goals in a row. Going from the second team to the first team in two months and getting my foot in the door, I completely changed everyone's perception of me."

"The club is willing to find a new host family for me, and my teammates have begun to recognize me and start dating me. My accent is no longer a problem. Fans began to ask me for autographs, and the original host family also refused. They found me again and tried hard to prove that it was a misunderstanding, but I rejected them unceremoniously."

"But you know, then they started to appear in the newspapers, and they kept receiving various media reports about my withdrawn personality, about what happened to my host family, and they were publicly exposed to the media by them, and I became a An unpopular player who caused a lot of people to have a preconceived impression of me."

Yang Yang listened silently, but kept nodding.

The media and football are interdependent, but many times, the media is really annoying to the players.

For example, James Rodriguez, when he first joined in the new season, the media hyped him in full swing, but after losing 2 to 4 to Real Sociedad and 0 to 1 to Atletico Madrid, he stepped on him directly. Hell, saying that Real Madrid's 80 million euros was in vain, but then, the Colombian player started to perform well again, and the praise for him was overwhelming.

Now, even many media believe that he should replace Di Maria and qualify for the starting line-up. Therefore, if Real Madrid hadn’t won Barcelona 5-1 at home, many media would definitely choose Di Maria if they lost in the century derby. Maria replaced James Rodriguez to attack Ancelotti.

But is James Rodriguez really that good?

The answer is clear, no!

The simplest point of 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, direct and crude way?

Players are generally relatively young, and everyone likes to see their names on newspapers, but if they read too many such reports, if they do not have rational self-judgment ability, they start to blindly think that they are really good, How important is that, and what are the consequences?

What happened to De Bruyne and what happened to James Rodriguez is not a special case, but the norm.

As a professional player, there is no way to change the public opinion environment, so you can only adapt and even use it.

While Yang Yang had mixed feelings in his heart, De Bruyne's story continued.

"When I came to Chelsea, I wasn't in the club's plans, they sent me to Werder Bremen on loan, I did really well there and then I came back to Chelsea."

"There were a lot of clubs that wanted to sign me that summer, including Jurgen Klopp at Dortmund, who offered to call me, but Mourinho told me they wanted me to stay and be part of the team. In his plan, I agreed without hesitation."

"But during the pre-season I made some mistakes in the game and I was abandoned by the coaching staff and they didn't even give me a chance to explain it until December when Jose Mourinho called me to him. He gave me some documents and told me that one assist, zero goals, ten rebounds, that's my statistics for half of the season."

"He compared the data of many other offensive players with me, such as Oscar, Willian, Mata, their data is much better than mine, maybe five goals, ten assists, but I told Mu With Rino, they both got fifteen or twenty games, and I only had three."

"I think he can't do this. On the one hand, he doesn't give me a chance to play, but on the other hand, he blames me for my poor statistics. If he doesn't let me play at all, is he going to accuse me of not making any contribution to the team? Not fair to me!"

"So I told Mourinho 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 what kept me going was football. , I am eager to play football, eager to compete, I am eager to prove myself with performance, show it to everyone, let them understand me and understand me."

De Bruyne's last words were almost a cry from the heart, and his whole face blushed.

Yang Yang suddenly understood why he resonated with De Bruyne, because they are really similar.

At the same time, he also began to understand why De Bruyne is practicing desperately, because it has been difficult for him to get a chance to play in Real Madrid recently.

Ancelotti is not Mourinho, and there is Zidane in the coaching staff. What happened at Chelsea will definitely not happen in Real Madrid, but De Bruyne is not the De Bruyne of the year. He is eager to get More opportunities to play.

He came to Real Madrid not to sit on the bench, but to prove himself.

He needs Real Madrid to give him such an opportunity.
