God of Greenery

In the following time, although the main team kept playing against the substitute team and had a lot of chances to shoot, they failed to score.

In the 54th minute, the main team's forward Moussa Dembele made a pass from the wing. Forward Hamdoy volleyed in the penalty area, but Romero subconsciously stretched out his hand and hit the door frame. Back to the restricted area.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-time running without the ball made him the first to run to the spot where the ball landed. He stretched out his foot, thinking that he could score a goal with a follow-up shot!

Unexpectedly, Romero, who blocked Hamdoy's first shot just now, dived again and hugged Jiang Xiaolin's ball directly in his arms, without even leaving a corner kick for the main team.

If this wave of two consecutive saves appeared in an official game, it would undoubtedly be the top ten saves of the week and would rank among the top, but they did not expect to appear in a team training match.

Romero's performance drew several coaches to applaud from the sidelines.

The second half of the training match, which was supposed to test Jiang Xiaolin, turned into an exhibition match for Romero.

Jiang Xiaolin was naturally not reconciled, and was still trying to find opportunities.

He also wants to score goals.

Although the opponent has become stronger, his teammates have also become stronger, and his ability to perceive gaps and pass the ball is much better than that of Pulmes' teammates.

As long as he runs out of space, Jiang Xiaolin believes that there is always a chance to shoot.

Finally, in the 59th minute, when the training game was about to end, another attack from the main team hit the frontcourt. The winger Schals made a pass from the bottom, and the midfielder Marten Martens followed up in the middle. With a strafing movement, goalkeeper Romero and nearby defenders were attracted to the past.

The two defenders rushed towards Martens with all their strength, trying to stop him from shooting, and Romero moved towards Martens directly towards the goal, ready to save.

At this tense moment, everyone forgot about Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin ran behind Martens without anyone paying attention, and only Martens caught Jiang Xiaolin's running position out of the corner of his eye before shooting.

This is the vision and insight of an excellent midfielder in the Eredivisie, which is still very different from amateur teams.

After seeing Jiang Xiaolin's running position, Martens didn't force his shot.

He just made a shooting action, and after firmly attracting the attention of the opponent's defender and goalkeeper, he lifted his foot lightly and missed the ball.

Defender and goalkeeper Romero was dumbfounded.

He wanted to turn around and return to defense, but it was too late.

Jiang Xiaolin, who ran four or five meters behind Martens, easily pushed the ball to the back of the goal with no one to defend him.

After seeing the ball into the net, Jiang Xiaolin rushed to Martens again, hugged him again, and shouted: "Martens, the leak is too beautiful!"

Martens also patted Jiang Xiaolin on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, another one has entered."

At this time, the coach who acted as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and everyone, no matter the main player or the substitute, gathered around to congratulate Jiang Xiaolin.

In the end it was Romero's turn, and he said rather unconvinced: "You are a bit lucky, the second ball was missed by Martens."

Jiang Xiaolin laughed and said, "No matter what, I scored two goals for you anyway. However, your performance is also very good. I can see the way the coaches look at you, and their eyes are shining."

Romero shook his head slightly, and lamented in a low voice: "It's difficult! No matter how good the performance in training is, as long as the main goalkeeper does not have any accidents in the official game, it will be difficult for the substitute goalkeeper to correct himself."

Jiang Xiaolin also knew this was the reason, so he could only comfort this new friend, let him continue training with peace of mind, maintain his condition, and wait for possible opportunities.

In any case, Romero is already a signed player of Alkmaar, and has also entered the Argentine Olympic team, but he is still a trial player.

Jiang Xiaolin is more concerned about his own future.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaolin played his due level in this training match. He scored a header and a push shot in the 30-minute training match, and scored twice.

This kind of performance undoubtedly conquered all coaches including Van Gaal.

You know, this is Jiang Xiaolin's first training match with Alkmaar's first-team players. There is no cooperation or tacit understanding at all. Jiang Xiaolin doesn't even know the team's tactics.

He was completely relying on his personal ability to find loopholes in the backup team's defense, and then waited for his teammates to feed him the ball as if he was lucky.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Xiaolin can also score two goals in just 30 minutes, which is really outstanding.

You know, most of the young strikers who come to tryouts, let alone score goals, can't even hit a threatening shot.

Jiang Xiaolin's signing with Alkmaar has no obstacles or objections from the coaching staff!
Before the training was over, Van Gaal left the training ground and went to the office building to find General Manager Anselm.

Hearing that Van Gaal wanted to sign a Chinese national, Anselm immediately expressed serious doubts.

"Hua people can also play football? Are you right?" Anselm said in surprise.

Van Gaal was a little annoyed at the time: "I don't know if other Hua people can play football, but Jiang can not only play, but also play very well, not inferior to Hamdoy and Ali."

Anselm was immediately taken aback.

As the general manager, although he doesn't usually care about the team's competitive aspects, he still knows that Hamdoy and Ali are the current team's main forwards.

If Jiang Xiaolin is really not inferior to these two people, and he is still a 16-year-old amateur player and a free agent who does not need to spend transfer fees, then signing it is simply a huge profit!

Therefore, Anselm thought for a while and asked, "What contract are you going to give him?"

Van Gaal said: "Of course it is a first-team professional contract."

Anselm frowned: "Are you going to let him play in the Eredivisie in the second half of the season?"

Van Gaal shook his head and said: "No, he still has a lot of shortcomings, and he needs to be put in the youth team to improve. However, the purpose of signing a professional contract is to prevent other teams from poaching corners."

Anselm nodded his head to express his approval.

But Anselm still had some doubts about the talents of the yellow race and Chinese people in playing football. He was still a little undecided if he didn't see it with his own eyes.

Therefore, Anselm finally said: "When is the team's next training match?"

Van Gaal said: "Two days later, on the afternoon of January 1."

Anselm nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come and take a look at that time, as long as his performance is not bad, I will sign."

Van Gaal was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that he had not done well in leading the team this season, and he was not as good at speaking in front of the club's senior management as he was in the previous two seasons.

Therefore, despite some dissatisfaction in his heart, he suppressed it and expressed his approval of Anselm's arrangement.

Anyway, Jiang Xiaolin's strength is so strong, he is not afraid of Anselm's on-site inspection.
