God of Greenery

Everyone in the youth team, including coaches and players, knows that Alkmaar's first team has not performed well this season. In addition to the lack of attack by the forwards, there are also problems in the midfield and backcourt.

This is naturally not a good thing for the first team, but for the players of the youth team, it is to see the opportunity to be promoted to the first team, play in the Eredivisie league, and sign a professional contract.

Therefore, the performance of the youth team this season is actually very good. It is currently ranked third in the Dutch Youth League A standings. Favored by coach Van Gaal.

As a result, during the winter break, Van Gaal did not promote anyone from the youth team, but instead signed three other foreign players.

Those two defenders are not easy to comment on. After all, they have professional game experience and can fight immediately when they come.

But Jiang Xiaolin's joining really poured cold water on the youth team members.

How could a 16-year-old boy from Huaguo who had no youth training experience in a professional team and had even played in the D-level amateur league surpassed them and won the favor of Van Gaal and directly signed a professional contract with the first team?

This is where the youth team players can't figure it out.

They have never seen Jiang Xiaolin's game with their own eyes. Even if someone said that Jiang Xiaolin scored five goals in a single game in an amateur game or a first-team internal training match, they would still be skeptical.

On the one hand, they wondered whether Jiang Xiaolin scored so many goals, and on the other hand, they doubted the gold content of Jiang Xiaolin's goals.

Therefore, on the first morning when Jiang Xiaolin officially participated in the youth team training, what Crofts saw was that more than 20 players in the team ignored Jiang Xiaolin.

Except for the training content arranged by Freeman so that the players in the same group sometimes had to call Jiang Xiaolin, at other times no one took the initiative to talk or communicate with Jiang Xiaolin.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin's amateurishness in most of the technical training programs aggravated the team members' resentment and hatred towards Jiang Xiaolin.

The cultivation of players, no matter how they usually train, must return to the game after all.

Football is a team sport and cannot be played alone.

If a player is boycotted by the whole team and cannot be accepted by the players, how can he play?

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin's situation, Crofts knew that he had to solve this problem.

Otherwise, it would be useless to just train Jiang Xiaolin's skills on the training ground without practicing in competitions.

You must know that Jiang Xiaolin is a potential new star that Van Gaal is looking for. He must ensure that Jiang Xiaolin's strength is improved and he is ready to play for Van Gaal at any time.

Therefore, at the end of the morning training, Crofts asked Jiang Xiaolin to place 20 balls on the penalty area line according to the method used by Van Gaal to practice shooting training.

And let Freeman finish the training of other players and ask everyone to come and watch.

In Jiang Xiaolin's training this morning, in addition to his physical fitness, which was beyond the reach of most people, his technical performance was really unconvincing.

Now that the head coach asked everyone to watch Jiang Xiaolin's shooting training, the players naturally murmured in private, ready to come and watch the jokes.

Judging by normal thinking, if a professional player has good shooting skills, he will not be too bad in dribbling, passing and receiving.

The reverse is also true. Players who are good at dribbling, breaking through, and passing and receiving the ball will also have the same shooting skills.

This is why the goalkeepers of some professional teams can play as forwards in amateur games, and they can kill the Quartet and score several goals in a game.

Therefore, seeing that Jiang Xiaolin's skills in dribbling and passing and receiving are poor, everyone does not believe that his shooting skills can be much better.

Therefore, when Crofts called everyone to watch Jiang Xiaolin's shooting training, everyone stood around the penalty area and watched as a joke.

Including Elmer, the main goalkeeper of the youth team, is also full of confidence.

What he thinks in his heart is that he must give Jiang Xiaolin a bad start. It is best to let Jiang Xiaolin miss a goal, let Crofts see Jiang Xiaolin's strength, and drive Jiang Xiaolin to U17, U15, or even U13.

As a result, when Jiang Xiaolin finished his first shot and sent the ball accurately into the dead corner of the far post with a burst shot, all the players were stunned.

Including teaching assistant Freeman was also taken aback.

Although he knew more about the situation than the players, he had never seen Jiang Xiaolin's game with his own eyes, so he was also not prepared for Jiang Xiaolin's precise and violent shot.

Everyone was surprised by Jiang Xiaolin's first goal. They never expected Jiang Xiaolin to have such shooting skills.

However, nothing could be seen from a single ball, and it was entirely possible that it was a bad ball. Everyone continued to watch Jiang Xiaolin's shooting performance with suspicion.

However, the further we got to the back, the complexion of everyone became worse and worse.As for Elmer, who was in charge of guarding the gate, his face became hot and dark.

This is not a game, no one is interfering, Jiang Xiaolin, under the guarantee of 20 points of full marksmanship attribute, completely refers to where to hit, every shot goes straight to the dead corner, extremely accurate.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin's shot was powerful and fast, which made it difficult for Elmer to see the path of the ball before making a save.

And moving ahead to make a save is completely a gamble on luck.

Elmer's level of strength is not comparable to that of Sergio Romero.

He neither has Romero's quick response, nor Romero's rich experience, nor Romero's on-the-spot adaptability.

As a result, Jiang Xiaolin was almost helpless with every shot that went straight to the dead corner.

Except for two balls that moved ahead of time and saved the ball in the right direction, Jiang Xiaolin's other 18 shots all went into the goal.

This is probably the difference between the goalkeeper of the Alkmaar youth team and the goalkeeper of the Argentine Olympic team!

It's not at the same level at all, and it's far from it.

The goal frame hit rate was 100%, and the goal rate was 90%, which made everyone on the youth team training ground dumbfounded except Crofts.

This kind of door frame hit rate and goal rate is simply too terrifying, unheard of, and everyone has never even thought about it.

Now the members of the youth team finally knew why Jiang Xiaolin was favored by Van Gaal and signed directly into the first team.

This is simply the foundation of a world-class striker!

As long as his shortcomings such as dribbling, breakthrough, passing and receiving are slightly improved to make up for it, and he reaches the standard of playing in professional games, he can be placed in the Eredivisie League to attack the city!
If such a player does not sign, is it waiting for the competitor to sign and then use it to break the goal of his own team?
In the face of absolute strength, everyone is convinced, and they can't bear any jealousy.

It is completely reasonable for Jiang Xiaolin to be favored by Van Gaal and directly sign the first-team contract!
