In the end, Van Dyke (who signed a will before the operation) not only survived, but also tried his best to restore his physical condition to the level of playing for 90 minutes in the following months. It is really because of his tenacious vitality and strong fighting spirit that after several years, fans can appreciate the defensive art and green performance of this man who is known as the "world's first active central defender".
For a player who is not very rich, in order to complete his football career, Van Dyke in his early years will make great efforts to find a balance between life and football. Therefore, since his parents divorced at the age of 12, Van Dyke, who is still in William II Youth Training Camp, needs to shoulder the responsibility of being the eldest brother. In addition to attending daily training, he also needs to prepare meals for his younger brothers and sisters in a small amount of personal disposable time, and then he has to go to a restaurant named Oncle Jean in downtown Brayda by bike to wash dishes. In the face of the 75 million pounds transfer fee thrown by Liverpool after 10 years, Van Dyke's hourly salary of 4 euros at that time seemed a bit insignificant. However, both Suga Yoshihide himself and the fans who watched this early experience will agree that the carving and honing of this busy and difficult time laid the foundation for Van Dyke's football career.
However, for that time, Rao worked hard enough as a dream catcher, but life and dreams were still so cruel to him. 15 years old, Van Dyke's height suddenly soared 18 cm. The drastic changes in body shape made Van Dyke's body, especially his knees, have to take a long time to adapt. Undoubtedly, this physical condition has affected Van Dyke's performance and play in the William II Youth Team. Time came in 2009, that is, when Van Dyke 18 years old, he also suffered a critical blow in his football dream: his two "leaders", including Edwin Hermans, head coach of William II Reserve Team, and Alfonce Jeronidyke, then first-team coach who played for Ajax and Manchester City as a player. These two peers don't attach importance to Van Dyke's performance in the youth team and think that VVD will not have a chance in the first team, so they are not prepared to offer him a professional contract. In desperation, youthful Van Dyke can only leave his youth team with a feeling of what he calls "betrayal" in the future.
Of course, at this time of Van Dyke's success, the two coaches who failed to see the Pearl will definitely feel sorry for their mistakes. An old-timer like Jerome Dyke still has to defend his "misjudgment" while regretting it. He said that William II was busy fighting for the Dutch team to avoid relegation that season. As a coach, he leads the team to struggle in the relegation zone every day, and he is exhausted, so he has no time to pay attention to the performance of the teenagers in the echelon. Even because Jay Dyke didn't have time to watch the youth team games, he had never heard of the name Virgil Van Dyke. As a result, Van Dyke's road to professional football suffered a serious road collapse, while William II lost a future T 1 central defender. This time, the two sides missed it, and it was really a lose-lose.
In desperation, Van Dyke can only choose to find another way out. Fortunately, however, just as Chekhov's rifle is bound to be launched, Van Dyke's outstanding talent will not be a jewel in the dust forever. 20 10 a very important figure-Martin Koeman, the father of the famous erwin koeman brothers and Ronald Koeman brothers (now the coach of Barcelona), realized the potential of this tall young man and introduced him to the account of Groningen, a Dutch team with deep roots in Koeman family.
Speaking of which, we really want to thank old Coleman for his demonic vision. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid the focus of Van Dyke's career would really shift from the stadium to the catering industry. From Bray in the south of the Netherlands to Groningen in the north, Van Dyke's football career has ushered in new opportunities. After a period of adaptation and training, Van Dyke finally got his chance in the first team. Since 20 1 1 started in the Dutch League match between Groningen and The Hague on May 29th, his appearances and performance opportunities have also increased. Robert Maaskant, then head coach of Groningen, saw Van Dyke's talent and attached great importance to him. In the past three seasons, Van Dyke has always played 62 times in the league and scored 7 goals, despite the fact that he was forced to rest because of his critical illness at the beginning of the article. For a young central defender, this report card is excellent enough. The players who fought side by side with Van Dyke also looked at their partner who gradually showed the temperament of top defender with the attitude of "this son must not be underestimated". Van Dyke's teammate and roommate in Groningen, Tim Kerentes, once commented on VVD. "He has all the qualities, physique, height and skills to be a top centre-back."
Time has reached 20 13, and the mutual achievement of Van Dyke and Groningen has almost come to an end. He has gained a lot of growth in the Dutch's tempering, and he almost wants to find a way out for the next step. As a Dutch baby, Van Dyke's most cherished goal is naturally the "three royal families" in the tulip football system, namely Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord. However, Van Dyke's potential and future have been "debated" by Dutch scouts and clubs, because his performance was mediocre when he beat Dutch U2 1 Youth Team 0: 3 at home on August 20 12-they were indifferent to Van Dyke's olive branch.
Faced with this unexpected embarrassing situation, I think Van Dyke may look up at the sky and sigh that "Virgil is not allowed in Holland". What is even more disappointing is that even the talented Groningen team has taken the initiative to "bring goods" to Ajax, but Van Dyke, a former Dutch winger in Sports director, is not interested in him. In the end, Marc overmars signed another young centre-back Mike Vanderhorn for Ajax (now playing for Swansea). Van Dyke's ambition of "proving himself in the top domestic clubs" seems to be dashed.
Prior to this, in order to join his favorite Dutch giants, Van Dyke had already turned down the invitations of Brighton and Krasnodar at that transfer window. However, contrary to expectations, who would have thought that Van Dyke, who was first exposed at that time, would encounter the dilemma of being neglected? At this rather depressing moment, John-Park, the chief scout of Su Chao Celtics who has been silently watching VVD, recommended his long-admired players to Dongjia. Well, it really is "everything will be fine in the end". The ancients did not deceive me. Of course, perhaps at that time, Van Dyke, who received an olive branch from the Celtics, only regarded playing in Scotland as a helpless and compromised choice. However, considering his later development experience, he decided to go to England to play football and immerse himself in the atmosphere of football, which is the most favorable way for Van Dyke.
As Robert Maaskant, a former coach, commented on Van Dyke, after overcoming his illness, he achieved a thoroughly remoulded promotion, went further with exuberant spirit and strong physical condition, and really became indestructible. Therefore, the comment that "if Van Dyke was born in England, maybe he would have reached the present situation earlier" is reasonable.
What a rough jade needs most is careful polishing. For Van Dyke, during his two seasons in Celtic Park, apart from winning the championship for the first time (twice in Su Chao and once in the Scottish League Cup), the biggest gain was to adapt to the style of English professional football and find a way to maximize his talent. Van Dyke, who is tall and strong, doesn't need to repeat his superiority in the air, and he also has an engine that can drive this powerful body to sprint at high speed. Not only that, but unlike those big but rather bulky centre-backs, Van Dyke also has a good technique of holding the ball under his feet. During playing for Celtic, Van Dyke scored a "long-legged goal" that is worth appreciating repeatedly, which is the best footnote of his overall strength.
Oh, yes, in the previous article, the author said that although the decision to play in Scotland seems to have escaped from the comfort zone, it is actually the most helpful decision for Van Dyke's future football career. Because, in addition to the above-mentioned gains, there is also a key factor, that is, the geographical location is close to the water tower, which makes it easier for many Premier League teams eager for talents to watch the bright moon gesture of Van Dyke. Let's just say that when VVD just walked out of Glasgow International Airport, the name "Virgil Van Dyke" has been included in the list of key investigations by many British professional scouts who have read countless books.
Among those who pay close attention to Van Dyke, Steve Raleigh, the most senior chief scout of Arsenal, is the most valuable player in the scouting team. No matter the attraction of other teams or the high-quality resources they can provide, they are not as good as Arsenal with Arsene Wenger, so on the whole, Van Dyke had a better chance to land at Emirates Stadium. Unfortunately, in the end, Arsenal and Celtic failed to negotiate the transfer fee (about120,000 pounds), and the two sides finally passed by (Arsenal finally signed Brazilian central defender gabriel paulista from Huang Xi), and Van Dyke became another future superstar member of the "Temperature Difference Sign" team with honor.
It can only be said that all successful people, in their early experiences, always have some fragments containing the meaning of "the return of fate" to show their differences. For example, Xiang Yu's "he can replace others" and Liu Bang's "a gentleman should be like this" are all the same; Although the "temperature difference sign" is a gnawed old terrier, it also proves that Van Dyke's high level and strong ability reached the ears of five major league coaches in the 20 14- 15 season. Is the golden scale something in the pool? Virgil Van Dyke has long been doomed not to stay in the European second-tier league for long.
Before the end of the 20 15 summer window, Southampton led by Ronald Coleman took Van Dyke to St. Mary's Stadium with a price of140,000. Five years ago, his father Martin Coleman opened the door to professional football for Van Dyke. Five years later, his son became the guide to lead Van Dyke into the highest level league in Europe. I have to say that the Coleman family is indeed a remarkable Bole in Van Dyke, a swift horse. On the road of building a "guardian under the heaven" in the future, the timing of this family is just right every time.
On the south coast of England, Van Dyke gradually matured in the confrontation with top attackers such as aguero, Valdi, Azar, Kane, Salah and Manet, and became famous step by step, and formally entered the first-class defender level that attracted the attention of the whole football community. At this point, it has long been a natural thing for the Dutch central defender to be targeted by the giants who have invested heavily in forming the team's last championship puzzle. What happened after the soap opera "Where is Van Dyke Going?" must be the tug-of-war that Premier League fans were often screened during that time. In the end, Manchester City, which was once interested in him, failed to recruit Van Dyke as Kong Di said, and directly sent it to the finale of European football. After the crisis, Liverpool and klopp finally brought the Dutchman to Merseyside with a record transfer fee of 75 million pounds.
Van Dyke's significance to Liverpool can be summed up in four words, that is, "If the mountain is heavy". With his arrival, klopp, who was questioned by the media and guiltily stressed that "I can write a book on defense", can finally stand up straight and prove his accomplishments in building a defense system. Although the figures seem a little cold, the significant improvement of Liverpool's conceded goals and defensive data before and after VVD joined is enough to give people a general idea of how powerful this person is. Of course, the doubts of opponents can not be ignored. Maybe some "fans" who don't know much about the ball will ridicule his style of "fighting to support retreat", but I don't know how difficult it is to keep pressing the opponent's more flexible striker in high-speed sports until he forces the opponent to squander a good opportunity to deal with the ball mistakes and finally resolve the threat of counterattack for his city.
Moreover, Van Dyke, as an extremely scarce backcourt player with his own system, is like a universal patch, which can make the team with him have a qualitative change in attack and defense mode. For Liverpool, he is more than just a defensive commander &; Air defense killer is another starting point of attack and instigation. Because of his consistent dedication and dominant performance in the left defensive area, Liverpool can attack the left and right wings together with Qi Fei. Arnold Salah's attack on the right is more focused on the threat of holding the ball, while Manet and Robertson on the left need enough court width to realize the sprint and back insertion without the ball. Van Dyke's deterrence makes opponents generally not take the left side as the first choice for attack, thus making room for Manet and Robertson. At the same time, in the counterattack, the Dutchman also has a long pass from time to time. He is a good player who instigates the attack. What's more, in the corner kick attack that Liverpool are not very good at, Van Dyke's stalwart body and Superman's bounce will also make the defender nervous, thus opening the gap for the astute firmino and others.
It's a pity how high-spirited he used to be and how strong he is now. Have you noticed that during such a long period of recuperation in Van Dyke this season, Uncle Zha spent several years painstakingly building the Red Iron Army system, but it failed to last until Boxing Day. Since the knee injury in the Merseyside derby, He, Matip have been absent one after another, leading to the collapse of the Liverpool backcourt system.
The most intuitive manifestation is that in this difficult period since the start of 20021,Liverpool's attack was timid and punctual, completely losing its green dominance in winning the championship in Britain and Europe in the previous two years. The more the team is in trouble, the more fans know and miss Van Dyke's irreplaceable tactical value and outstanding personal ability. And I also believe that General Fan, who has overcome a serious illness, will definitely overcome the "insignificant" ACL injury in front of him and once again show the fans that he is almost omnipotent.
After suffering, I was born again; Rock-solid, agile as a dragon.
This is the story of Virgil Van Dyke, a teenager who took care of dirty dishes.
