Chapter 4: I'm New Here
"Hello Lin, I'm Mark Overmars, Ajax's Technical Director, and it's up to me to take you to Notre Dame High School, your new school, today."
After such an opening sentence, Link got into Overmars's car, a Mercedes-Benz SUV, but Link didn't know much about the car, so he didn't know what model the car was.
"Mr. Overmars, there's something I don't quite understand. Is Dutch used for teaching at Notre Dame High School? But I only know English, and I'm not very proficient in English. "
"Notre Dame High School is also a multilingual school, both Dutch and English are taught, there are English classes and Dutch classes, rest assured, of course we will send you to English classes. And you don't have to worry about English proficiency, our club will give you a personal tutor to teach you Dutch and English, and after the daily training, there will be a teacher who will teach you specifically. "
"Then I'm relieved."
It's really close to Notre Dame High School from the training base.
It was so close that Link didn't even think it was necessary to drive.
When he arrived at Notre Dame High School, a very ordinary gate, Overmars stopped the car and then took Link to the principal.
After some exchanges.
Lin Kedi was placed in Class A3 of the English class.
"Class A3 is not a progression class, it is not the first goal of university, the teaching will not be so intense, and of course it is also the most suitable class for our Ajax youth players."
"Mr. Overmars—"
"You can just call me Mark."
"Okay - Mark first - Mark, do we have a lot of players on our youth team who are at Notre Dame High School?"
"Yes. Ajax don't have a lot of players in this age group in high school, only about 19, and 10 in Notre Dame High School. Among them, there are 3 of them in this high school that are on the same team as you. But they're all in the third year of high school, and they're not in the same class as you. "
"Then I'll get to know each other well."
Afterwards, Link said goodbye to Overmars, and was then taken to the A3 class by the principal, Stanna Modina, a middle-aged black woman.
But obviously, this is the time for class.
Link glanced at the whiteboard, English literature class.
As soon as the teacher in class saw the principal with a dark-haired Asian teenager at the door, he immediately threw his pen on the lectern table and walked out quickly.
"Headmaster!"
"Ms. Mona, this is a new student—"
"At this time, a new student?"
"Ms Mona, he's an Ajax Under-18 player—"
Link Kedi keenly observed the complicated expression in Mona's eyes after hearing this.
Link realized that this must be something that his teammates had done at school, and that was going to be an influence.
But it has nothing to do with me.
So Link doesn't care about any of that.
The headmaster said a few words, and then left.
Then, Mona walked into the classroom with Link.
"Tell us a little about yourself, this class will be the longest place you will stay in this school from now on."
Link thought to himself, you deliberately used such a slow speed to speak, what you mean.
Link looked around.
There were only about 15 students in this class, which was very empty.
Moreover, in the English A3 class, more than half of the people are obviously Asian faces, or yellow faces, and the rest of the people are half black, and in the end there are only 3 whites, and among the 3 whites, the good news is that there are 2 blonde girls.
There is no doubt that Lin Kedi can save the basic information of 15 people in his brain just by looking around.
His memory has been very good since he was a child, and he can often remember it at a glance.
His parents naturally treated him very well since he was a child.
Then again.
Lin Kedi briefly introduced himself.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Kedi, from Hubei, China, I like football, I am a player in the Ajax youth team."
After saying that, Link glanced at Mona.
"The last seat in the fifth row is empty, you can sit."
Link just walked over and sat down.
A black guy in front of him turned around.
"Yo, Chinese playing football? Are you sure? "
"You can check it out on the official website of Ajax."
The black guy turned his head away with a puzzled face.
Ten seconds later.
"oh——omg! The Chinese are really Ajax youth team players! "
"Philip sit down! Of course what Lin said is true, can he still lie to you? Next, the class continues. "
And after Philip, the black guy, made such a fuss, the sound of rustling in the class could not be stopped.
Soon, the lesson on Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, ended.
The course has just ended.
A circle of people quickly gathered around Link's enemy.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Cheng, from Jiangxi, these are us Chinese."
Lin Kedi also stood up and shook hands with Zhang Cheng, he could see that this person who looked a little like Lin Yongjian was the kind of person who was more confident and liked to be the boss in a collective.
But Link didn't care about that.
"Hello, my name is Lin Wuna, from Tianjin."
"Cheng Daoshun, BJ people."
"Li Luoyi, a native of Hong Kong."
Lin Kedi took a look, and the remaining 3 people who looked like yellow people hadn't come over yet.
So he looked at Zhang Cheng.
"Aren't those 3 Chinese?"
"The three are one Japanese, two Korean, the small-eyed boy is Korean, and the remaining two girls, the one wearing high heels is Korean, and the one who wears cuter is Japanese."
"You know a lot."
"Of course, we came a month before you, so of course we're familiar. But I just listened to your self-introduction, and my English is very standard. You also studied abroad in junior high school? "
"No, I only came to Holland a few days ago."
"That's—"
"Old Cheng, others are also coming to know Lin Kedi."
Cheng Daoshun looked back, and sure enough, everyone else in the classroom was looking here.
So, 4 Chinese returned to their seats.
The three people I was talking about just came over.
"Hello, I'm Kim Ji-so, it's nice to meet you, I really didn't expect to have a player in our class who plays in the Ajax youth team, it's amazing."
This Korean named Kim Zhizhu said to Lin Kedi with a smile on his face, to be honest, talking with a smile like this really made Lin Kedi unreastinable.
also smiled and said a few words to Kim Ji-so.
"My name is Lin Zhixiao, and it is written like this in Chinese characters, is this the character of Lin Kedi's Lin?"
"Yes, that's the word."
"Great!"
Although Link doesn't know what's good.
"My name is Akesaki Yasumoto, a native of Kyoto, Japan, my English is not very good, it is nice to meet you."
After the Asians are all done.
Lin Kedi breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of high-intensity socialization really made him feel a little tired.
Then the blacks came up again.
However, Link didn't have much interest in them either, so he just skipped it.
The last three whites came.
"Hello, I'm Jack Brislang. I didn't expect to have an Ajax player in our class. I'm a die-hard Ajax fan. Which team are you on the youth team? "
"I'm from the U18s."
"u18? It's true? "
Jack Brislang clearly wanted to say more.
But at this time, the bell rang for the next class.
"My name is Anne Staten. Her name is Breta Jett. Let me tell you in advance, we are good friends. "
Lin Kedi said he understood.
I can only say that this 15-minute recess is too informative.
But in these 15 minutes, everyone was recognized.
Link believes there must be a bonus to this Ajax youth team.
Because, when Lin Kedi was chatting with whites and blacks just now, he could obviously feel that his compatriots were not very familiar with these foreigners.
However, Link's mind has now run all to the training ground.
