Chapter 36 Youth Team

That night, Jiang Xiaolin received a call from Yu Hai, saying that they were the only ones playing football in the Netherlands, and that they needed to move around more so that Jiang Xiaolin could visit him in Arnhem when he had time.

The call must have been from Peng Zhijie to Yu Hai.

Jiang Xiaolin agreed, and also invited Yu Hai to play in Alkmaar when he had time.

The initial contact between the two has been established, but in fact, both of them know that it may be difficult for them to sit down and have a meal together in a short time.

Because the distance between Alkmaar and Arnhem is not short, more than 100 kilometers, and the situation of both of them is not good.

Yu Hai had to work hard for Waiters' chance to play in the first team, while Jiang Xiaolin was even worse. He had to establish a firm foothold in the youth team before he could talk about advancing to the first team.

The next day, Jiang Xiaolin made a breakfast at home and went to the Alkmaar youth training base after eating.

In fact, the youth training base and the first team training base are in the same place, but they are separated by a wall in the middle, so they cannot see each other.

Of course, there are different doors for entering and exiting. Some club staff brought Jiang Xiaolin to identify the door before, and the guard also knew Jiang Xiaolin.

When Jiang Xiaolin arrived at the entrance of the youth training base, other youth training players from various echelons arrived one after another.

Some lived nearby, walking or jogging like Jiang Xiaolin.

There is also a little distance, take a taxi, or be sent by your parents.

Those who can have their own car and drive to train are very few.

After all, the salary of youth training players is very low, not enough to buy a car.

And there is an age limit. Many players in the lower age group are not even old enough to take the driver's license test!

When these people saw Jiang Xiaolin, they all knew that he was the Hua Guo striker signed by the team two days ago.

However, no one greeted Jiang Xiaolin, and no one smiled at him.

Because Jiang Xiaolin is only 16 years old, but he is getting the salary of the first team.Even though his salary is one of the lowest in the first team, it is more than anyone in the academy.

You know, there are many players in their 20s in the youth academy.

The oldest echelon of the youth training camp is the U19 youth team, which is usually referred to as the Alkmaar youth team.

As for the lower age echelon, it will be called the Alkmaar U17 youth team, the Alkmaar U15 youth team and so on.

Staying in the U19 youth team until the age of 19 or 20, if you have not been selected by the first team, you can only find another way out.

Therefore, those 20-year-old players don't know how jealous they should be when they see 16-year-old Jiang Xiaolin holding a first-team contract.

In particular, Jiang Xiaolin is a man of yellow race and Chinese, not a local Dutchman.

Jiang Xiaolin's unexpected appearance was equivalent to blocking a place for the youth team to be promoted to the first team.

No wonder no one gave him a good face.

Jiang Xiaolin calmed down and didn't care.

Ever since he was a child, he has received countless stares and discrimination, and he has long been used to it.

After being tricked into the Netherlands, he worked as a homeless beggar, and then there were Ajax trial failures, Purmes failed to score for two months, and so on.

Jiang Xiaolin who grew up in this environment, although he hopes to gain the approval of others, he will not care too much if others do not approve of him.

Jiang Xiaolin walked into the gate of the youth training camp with a calm expression, and walked to the football field where the U19 youth team trained.

Along the way, there were vague comments from other players from time to time:

"Is this the Huaguo striker who was transferred from the first team to the youth team?"

"I can't gain a foothold in the first team even after signing the contract. I still have to come to the youth team to train. I don't know what the significance of the club's professional contract is for him."

"I heard that he scored 60 goals in 5 minutes in the training match during the first team trial, and his efficiency is very high."

"Really? Even if it's true, I'm afraid it's mostly luck?"

"I don't know. Anyway, he failed to stay in the first team. It is estimated that either he had a lot of luck or the rumors were false."

"It must be fake! If it is true that he can score 60 goals in 5 minutes, why didn't Van Gaal keep him in the first team and take him to Amsterdam for an away game? You know, we were bloodbathed by the opponent 6-1!"

"That's right! I don't know who spread the rumors, it's too disgusting! If you want to say that people from Huaguo are good at table tennis, I have nothing to say. But football, I don't even believe it!"

"Right, that is it!"

Jiang Xiaolin heard some of these discussions, but didn't hear them all.

No matter what he heard, his face was expressionless!

Regardless of whether these people are jealous of him or don't believe in him, they are destined to be wrong in the end.

For Jiang Xiaolin who is close to the system, the youth team is just a transitional place to deceive people's eyes and ears!
No matter what others think, he will upgrade, add points, and improve his strength step by step, and finally he will be promoted to the first team and play in the Eredivisie League!

……

When we came to the training ground of the U19 youth team, a few people had already arrived, but most of them hadn't arrived yet. Jiang Xiaolin was one of the early arrivals.

Probably also because the places where these people live are relatively close.

When it was close to 8 o'clock, other players of the youth team also arrived at the training ground one after another, and no one was late.

These are young players, not yet qualified to play big.

As soon as 8 o'clock arrived, the youth team coach Crofts and assistant coach Freeman appeared on the sidelines on time.

"Assemble!" Freeman shouted, and the players quickly stood up and stood in two rows.

Jiang Xiaolin consciously stood on the edge of the second row.

Crofts took a look at all the quiet players, and then said to everyone:

"I believe everyone has seen that today our team has a new player: Jiang Xiaolin. Jiang is from China, and his position is a striker. I hope that everyone will help each other and improve together in training and competitions, and strive for success in the second half of the season." Get a good result in the Dutch Youth League."

The players were expressionless and clapped perfunctorily, formally expressing their welcome to Jiang Xiaolin.

However, in the heart, no one is likely to be convinced.

Especially the forwards of the youth team, I am afraid that they are jealous of Jiang Xiaolin who snatched their place in the first team.

Next, Freeman arranged for everyone to have morning training, which involved physical fitness, strength, passing and receiving, breakthrough, dribbling, stopping the ball, goalkeeper training, etc. according to different positions.

Through training in the morning, Crofts found that Jiang Xiaolin was the same as what he saw in the first-team training match that day: good physical fitness and fast speed, but other stoppages, passes and receptions, dribbling, and breakthroughs Etc sucks.

Moreover, he also found that the youth team players under him were very unwelcome to Jiang Xiaolin.

After thinking about it for a while, Crofts knew why.
