God of Greenery

In the 30th and 31st rounds, two consecutive home victories with 3 goals, and stabilized the 8th place in the standings, Van Gaal decided to give the players two days off to let everyone have a good rest.

Since the losing streak in the second half of the season, the nerves of the whole team are actually very tense.

Even though Jiang Xiaolin's joining the team in February made everyone's situation better, but they never dared to relax.

But now the team has basically recovered their confidence and morale, coupled with two consecutive home wins, Van Gaal made the decision to give the players two days off to let everyone have a good rest.

This decision naturally won the unanimous support of the whole team.

Everyone is already feeling very tired physically and mentally, and really needs to rest more.

Van Gaal's decision to take two days off is simply too in line with public opinion.

Only Jiang Xiaolin had some regrets. He did not lack physical strength, but if he missed a day of training, he would lose a day of training experience.

But there is no other way, he can't change the head coach's decision, he can only listen to the head coach's arrangement.

However, on the second day of the holiday, on Tuesday, April 4st, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly received a strange call from China.

Looking at the phone number, it was neither his mother nor his classmate Wang Jianping, nor those reporters. Jiang Xiaolin felt a little strange, but he picked it up after the ring rang for a while.

Jiang Xiaolin asked first, "Hello, who is it?"

Then, he only heard the voice of a middle-aged man over there and replied, "Excuse me, are you Jiang Xiaolin?"

Jiang Xiaolin asked strangely: "Yes, who are you? Why do you have my phone number?"

Then, the person over there breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "I am Yin Tieshen, the assistant coach of the Huaguo Men's Olympic Football Team. I got the phone number from Peng Zhijie, a reporter from "Sports Weekly". Now I am representing the Huaguo Olympic team. The coaching staff is on the phone with you."

Jiang Xiaolin was taken aback immediately, he had already thought of a possibility, and then he felt agitated, and replied, "Coach Yin, please tell me."

Yin Tieshen: "We have already seen your performance in the Eredivisie, and we are very satisfied. After the discussion among the coaching staff of the Olympic team, the head coach Dujkovic signed and agreed, and reported to the Chinese Football Committee for approval. When the Olympic team members are called for training, you will be added to the training list as a striker. We will communicate with the Alkmaar club where you are, do you have any questions?"

Jiang Xiaolin immediately said: "I have no problem with myself. I will obey the call at any time, as long as the club lets me go."

Yin Tieshen said with satisfaction: "Okay, then you can just pay attention to the news on April 4th. We expect to announce the next batch of Olympic training lists and the reporting schedule on April 10th."

Jiang Xiaolin: "Okay."

Then, the two hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaolin immediately called his mother Jiang Liantao.

Jiang Xiaolin just dialed the phone, and before Jiang Liantao could speak, he said excitedly and urgently: "Mom, I'm Xiaolin, what are you doing now?"

Jiang Liantao said slightly: "Watching TV, what's the matter? I heard your tone is very excited?"

Jiang Xiaolin: "There is indeed good news. Do you know who I just received a call from?"

Jiang Liantao asked curiously, "Whose?"

Jiang Xiaolin said: "Yin Tieshen, the assistant coach of the Huaguo National Olympic Football Team, called me on behalf of the National Olympic Team and said that he wants to call me up for the next training camp of the National Olympic Team."

Jiang Liantao was taken aback immediately: "Olympic team? You have been spotted by the Olympic team and are you going to represent Hua Guo football in the Olympics?"

Jiang Xiaolin said: "I'm not participating in the Olympics. This is just a pre-Olympic training camp. I haven't confirmed that I can participate in the Olympics. However, if I continue to behave like this, I will be included in every training camp and I will not make any mistakes. In the end, [-]% Nine can participate in the Olympics."

Jiang Liantao let out a "wow" immediately, and then said pleasantly: "Then son, you have to keep working hard, and you must not relax. God, the Olympics, my son can actually participate in the Olympics, you are really saving face for me!"

Jiang Xiaolin said: "It is necessary. We must seize the opportunity. The Olympic Games held in our own country is rare in a hundred years. I will naturally cherish it."

Jiang Liantao said: "That's good!"

Then, the mother and son chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiaolin called his new agent, Michael Baker.

Hearing the news that Jiang Xiaolin was going to join the Hua Guo Olympic team, Baker was surprised but also took it for granted.

Huaguo is not a football powerhouse. Talents like Jiang Xiaolin are not recruited. Are they waiting for Jiang Xiaolin to fall into the arms of other countries?

Of course, this is just Baker's own idea. He doesn't know that in the hearts of Chinese people, their hometown will always be Hua. It is impossible for Jiang Xiaolin to immigrate overseas and join other countries' football national teams.

Baker only considered the impact of joining the National Olympics for Jiang Xiaolin from the perspective of interests.

Although this time is not the final list for participating in the Olympics, it is just a training list, and each training list will be different from the previous one. This is the continuous inspection of players by the coaching staff.

But no matter what, being called up by the Olympic team, even if only once, as long as he wears the Olympic team uniform and participates in one or two friendly matches, he is considered gilded, which is completely different from Jiang Xiaolin's current status and treatment.

At that time, both the endorsement and the salary and status in the team will be greatly improved.

If Alkmaar wants to renew the contract with Jiang Xiaolin and change some of the original terms of the contract, he must pay a big price.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiaolin didn't have to sign.At that time, any team from the five major leagues will be able to take Jiang away with a penalty of 200 million euros.

This is naturally unacceptable to Alkmaar. They have to bear some price in exchange for Jiang Xiaolin's contract renewal and contract modification.

When the contract was first signed, no one in Alkmaar's top management knew that Jiang Xiaolin had become so tough in just a few games?

Anyway, being caught by Baker this time, he can greatly help Jiang Xiaolin improve his treatment in the team.

Of course, this will have to wait until April 4 when the official list of the Olympic Games is announced.

Before that, Jiang Xiaolin had to help the Olympic team keep the secret, and he couldn't let the outside world know that Jiang Xiaolin was recruited by the Olympic team in advance.

Even foreign countries cannot announce it, and must block it all, let alone leaking information from Jiang Xiaolin.

Baker was naturally very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

Because Jiang Xiaolin specifically told him not to go against his own country, otherwise he might change his agent in the future.
