God of Greenery

When he was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Xiaolin held a press conference and thanked the hospital and orthopedic experts for their materials and guidance on his recovery.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaolin said that he has fully recovered both physically and mentally, as long as he returns to the club for a little restorative training, he will be able to start participating in competitions soon.

The Alkmaar club is very excited from top to bottom. Players, coaches, and fans expressed their hope that Jiang Xiaolin will return to the club as soon as possible to participate in recovery training, and then join the team in the Eredivisie.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin also hopes to participate in the competition as soon as possible.

Therefore, he didn't go back to his hometown. After letting his domestic agent Fan Hongyu send his mother Jiang Liantao and cousin Jiang Xueling back to his hometown, Jiang Xiaolin and his agent Beck flew to the Netherlands.

Just when Jiang Xiaolin flew back to the Netherlands, on October 10, the first round of the UEFA Cup group match officially started.

In the first round, Alkmaar played away against Dinamo Zagreb, Udinese played against Tottenham Hotspur at home, and Spartak Moscow had a bye.

As a result, Udinese defeated Tottenham at home, but Alkmaar was defeated by Dinamo Zagreb 3-2 away and lost the first game.

After the team returned to Alkmaar after the away game, they did not have a holiday the next day and started training directly.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaolin, who has returned to Alkmaar, also officially returned to the team to report.

Now Jiang Xiaolin's identity and financial resources are different, he no longer lives in the house rented by the club, but Beck rents another villa for him, and the housekeeping company cleans and arranges it in advance. Jiang Xiaolin returned to the Netherlands. Checked in directly.

In addition, Jiang Xiaolin's identity is different now. If he still walks or takes a taxi to training and competitions every day, not to mention whether he will be ridiculed, safety alone is a hidden danger.

Therefore, Baker rented a good-grade car for Jiang Xiaolin, and hired a substitute driver, who was responsible for picking up Jiang Xiaolin every day in the early stage, and taught Jiang Xiaolin to drive after training.

After Jiang Xiaolin learns to drive and gets his driver's license, the substitute driver can leave with a thank you fee.

On the morning of October 10, when the team started training, Jiang Xiaolin was accompanied by Baker into the club office building, met with the owner, manager and others, and thanked them for their contract extension.

Although Baker analyzed to Jiang Xiaolin the motivation of the team to stand up and support Jiang Xiaolin's contract renewal, after all, they took a huge risk to raise Jiang Xiaolin's salary and bonus, and Jiang Xiaolin thanked him very gratefully.

After meeting with the boss and manager, Jiang Xiaolin went to the club medical room for a physical examination.

Although the hospital in Beiping said that Jiang Xiaolin had fully recovered, the club would definitely not be careless. They had to have a physical examination before deciding whether to let Jiang Xiaolin start training with the team.

After a day's physical examination, Jiang Xiaolin's various physical indicators surprised Horatio, the medical director, and made the club's executives smile.

After two months of rest and recuperation, Jiang Xiaolin not only did not decline in all physical indicators, but even the calf fracture that everyone was most worried about has fully recovered.

This shocked Horatio and others. On the one hand, it was due to the development of Huaguo's medical skills, and on the other hand, it was also because of Jiang Xiaolin's amazing recovery ability.

In fact, this is actually the healing potion Jiang Xiaolin used.

Of course, these are just superficial. What everyone is most concerned about is whether Jiang Xiaolin has an invisible injury to his calf, whether he can do high-intensity training, or even play in the game.

The medical department first asked Jiang Xiaolin to train in the indoor gym. He started with light exercises and gradually increased the intensity. As a result, Jiang Xiaolin did not feel any discomfort until he resumed the training volume that Jiang Xiaolin had when he left Alkmaar last season.

All the onlookers suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers.

Although I still dare not guarantee [-]% that Jiang Xiaolin can return to his peak state, what has been shown in front of everyone so far is enough to make Alkmaar very happy.

With this contract extension, Alkmaar definitely made a lot of money.

In the afternoon of the same day, Alkmaar held a press conference. Jiang Xiaolin, club general manager Anselm, and medical director Horatio attended the press conference together, announcing Jiang Xiaolin's return and passing the medical examination, and the good news that he will resume training tomorrow.

Jiang Xiaolin's return swept away the gloom of the club, and the decadence of the away loss to Dinamo Zagreb was also swept away.

Not only the local media, but all Dutch media reported Jiang Xiaolin's return. Alkmaar fans even wore Jiang Xiaolin's new No. 9 jersey and ran outside the club's training base to celebrate.

By the way, in the new season, Jiang Xiaolin's jersey has become No. 9, which symbolizes the main striker. Ali, who originally wore the No. 9 jersey, was forced to switch with Jiang Xiaolin and put on the No. 29 jersey.

Ali was naturally upset, but the club threatened him that he would sell him if he disagreed, so Ali could only hold his breath and agree.

I have to say this is a bit cruel, but that's the way football is.

Jiang Xiaolin is stronger than Ali and more famous than him. Passing the No. 9 jersey is justified. If Ali doesn't want to be kicked out, he can only agree.

In the early morning of October 2008, 10, Jiang Xiaolin was driven by a substitute driver to the training base in Alkmaar, ready to participate in daily training with the team.

However, at the entrance of the training base, Jiang Xiaolin's car was stopped because the guard did not recognize this car.

However, when Jiang Xiaolin got out of the car to explain and register to the guard, he was discovered by the fans and reporters guarding the gate of the base.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin did this on purpose.

When everyone found Jiang Xiaolin appeared, they rushed up immediately. Domestic and foreign media reporters including Peng Zhijie interviewed him one after another. Fans also rushed up to sign autographs and express their blessings and love for his return.

Jiang Xiaolin was answering questions from the reporters while signing autographs and taking photos for the fans. It took him almost half an hour to enter the base.

Naturally, other teammates passed by and greeted Jiang Xiaolin happily, welcoming him back. Goalkeeper Sergio Romero even parked his car and went back to the door, ready to wait for Jiang Xiaolin to go in together.

After Jiang Xiaolin finished the work at the gate and entered the base, Romero walked over and said worriedly: "Jiang, I'm really sorry for that accident. Garley asked me to bring his apology to you, saying that he didn't intend to hurt you." You, just one second of hotheaded wrong move and hoping you're back to your peak."

Jiang Xiaolin patted Romero's shoulder with a smile, and said, "It's okay, I'm completely healed!"

"Really?" Romero asked in surprise.

Jiang Xiaolin chuckled and said, "Try it when the time comes?"

Romero asked, "How?"

Jiang Xiaolin said: "Let me try to kick 20 set kicks on the penalty area line?"

Romero immediately crossed his face and said, "Didn't you just come here to slap me in the face?"

Jiang Xiaolin said solemnly: "How come? I just tried my shooting skills to see if it's still there."

Romero asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Jiang Xiaolin said very seriously: "Of course it is true! I haven't had a serious training game in two months, and I don't know if I can still shoot!"

Romero thought about it half-believingly, and then said in a tangled voice, "Okay, let's try it later!"

Jiang Xiaolin draped Romero's shoulders and walked side by side to the locker room, with a sly look in his eyes, but Romero didn't notice it.

Soon, when they came to the locker room, the captain Jalynes, the midfielder David Mendes, the front midfielder Marten Martens and others all hugged Jiang Xiaolin one after another, congratulating him on his recovery and being discharged from the hospital, and returned to the team. family.

At the same time, he also congratulated Jiang Xiaolin for leading his team to win the Olympic champion.

In particular, Marten Martens yelled for Jiang Xiaolin to treat him, saying that Jiang Xiaolin had snatched Belgium's qualifying spot in the group before making his way to the final and finally won the championship.

Of course, this was actually a joke. It was agreed that the whole team would treat Jiang Xiaolin to dinner at the end, and clean up the dust for him, instead of Jiang Xiaolin treating him.

Only forward Ali, who was robbed of the No. 9 jersey by Jiang Xiaolin, was a little depressed, which made the atmosphere a little awkward, but Jiang Xiaolin still greeted Ali in a friendly way. Ali didn't dare to do too much, so he could only respond reluctantly.

Soon, everyone changed into training clothes and came to the training ground, lined up to start training.

On behalf of the coaching staff, coach Van Gaal welcomed Jiang Xiaolin's return.

In today's training, Van Gaal deliberately allowed reporters and fans to enter the stadium to watch, and watch the team's training from the sidelines.

Because he had obtained the details of Jiang Xiaolin's physical examination yesterday from the team doctor, and obtained from Alfred the judgment that Jiang Xiaolin's possibility of returning to the peak was as high as 90%.

That's why he made the decision to make Jiang Xiaolin's first training session of his return to the team public, allowing the media and fans to watch the recording, announcing Jiang Xiaolin's return and boosting team morale.

After all, the team lost the first UEFA Cup group match, and the opponent was the weakest in the group match, which made the players and fans a little bit shocked.

Media reporters and fans are of course very interested.

Dozens of media reporters from the Netherlands, Europe, and China set up their cameras on the sidelines and pointed at Jiang Xiaolin to record.

Thousands of fans sat in the simple stands, holding slogans supporting Jiang Xiaolin, welcoming his return, and hoping that Jiang Xiaolin will play and participate in the game as soon as possible.

After consulting Jiang Xiaolin's opinion, Van Gaal did not engage in specialization, but asked Jiang Xiaolin to train with everyone, and all experienced the same amount of training.

This made teammates, reporters, and fans a little worried.

In the end, Jiang Xiaolin completed all the training very well.

Whether it's speed, weight, or running position, Jiang Xiaolin didn't have any abnormalities, making it impossible to see that Jiang Xiaolin suffered a calf fracture just two months ago.

This shocked everyone, but also made them very happy.

And the biggest surprise of the training session in the morning was Jiang Xiaolin's shooting practice from the penalty area line.

Jiang Xiaolin placed 20 balls on the penalty area line on average, and then shot.

As a result, explaining that Romero raised his spirit of twelve points, he only saved two in the end.

The remaining 18 were all scored by Jiang Xiaolin.

Because Jiang Xiaolin can not only shoot in a straight line at this time, but also in an arc. When shooting from the corner of the penalty area, he can use the arc to bypass Romero's palm in the air to save.

With a 90% hit rate on the goal frame and a [-]% goal rate, Jiang Xiaolin at this time can't see any difference from before the injury, which surprised the fans at the scene.

While everyone applauded and cheered, they also talked a lot:

"Great, Jiang Xiaolin seems to have really recovered to his pre-injury state."

"What does it seem like? It's definitely true. Jiang Xiaolin has indeed returned to his peak state."

"Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness is also very good. This recovery speed is simply unheard of! The fracture has healed in two months, and he can participate in football, which is too scary."

"Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness is very good, otherwise he would not have such a strong body and speed."

"I heard that he is genetically atavistic, and a professor at the University of Amsterdam is studying him."

"No wonder!"

That night and the next day, various videos and reports of Jiang Xiaolin returning to the club and performing crazy shots during his first training session appeared in sports media all over the world.

"Jiang Xiaolin's first day back at the club, in good condition! "

"Jiang Xiaolin started training with the team, and all 20 shots hit the goal frame, and finally scored 18! "

"Terrifying physical fitness, Jiang Xiaolin has proved through the first training session that he has returned to the peak state before the injury!" "

"Jiang Xiaolin returns to Alkmaar, this season's Eredivisie is worth seeing!" "

"Through the observation of the first training session, we estimate that Jiang Xiaolin's playing time will not be too far away. "

However, even though the reporters were optimistic about Jiang Xiaolin's playing time, they never expected that Jiang Xiaolin would appear on the team's roster so soon.

On October 10th, the 26th round of the 2008/2009 Eredivisie season, before Alkmaar vs. Volendam at home, in Van Gaal's pre-match press conference, Jiang Xiaolin's name appeared on the 7-man squad for the match middle.

Even if it doesn't start, it's scary enough!
You know, Jiang Xiaolin has just been discharged from the hospital and has just returned to the club to participate in recovery training. Is it appropriate to let Jiang Xiaolin enter the squad so soon?

Did Van Gaal use Jiang Xiaolin forcibly regardless of Jiang Xiaolin's injury?
These topics have become the focus of heated discussions among all the media and fans before the game.

Of course, some reporters who are familiar with Jiang Xiaolin interviewed him on the phone and asked him his opinion on the coach's placement of him in the 18-man roster for the game.

However, Jiang Xiaolin told the reporter an unexpected fact. It turned out that Jiang Xiaolin asked to be included in the big list on his own initiative, and it was not Van Gaal who forced him into it.

Because Jiang Xiaolin feels that he has returned to his peak state, and there is no problem in participating in the competition.

In addition, during the training, Jiang Xiaolin, like other teammates, completed all the training items without any discomfort.

That's why Van Gaal added Jiang Xiaolin to the squad for the match. It will be time to see if Jiang Xiaolin will come on as a substitute and make his comeback debut.
