God of Greenery

In the next few days, Jiang Xiaolin will do dribbling, passing and catching, breakthrough, and teamwork training according to the training plan tailored to him by the head coach Crofts.

The relationship with teammates is becoming more and more familiar, and I have a few new friends, mainly midfielders such as Langlot.

After discovering Jiang Xiaolin's superb shooting, these midfield teammates started to collect assist data through Jiang Xiaolin, and gradually became friends with Jiang Xiaolin after deliberately making friends.

50 training experience points per day, after a few days of youth team training, Jiang Xiaolin's system experience has also risen to level 7 350/3000.

On January 2008, 1, Saturday, in the 19th round of the Dutch Youth League A, the Alkmaar Youth Team played against the Deja Stroop Youth Team at home. The venue of the match was the training ground of the Alkmaar U20 Youth Team.

On this day, all the youth training bases are open to the public, and fans are allowed to enter the stadium to watch the youth team's games.

Jiang Xiaolin was selected to the list of 18 people, but did not start.

However, Jiang Xiaolin still told Song Zhicheng the good news.

Song Zhicheng was his temporary manager, and also his savior, and his personal relationship was not ordinary, so it was natural to tell him that he was selected for the youth team competition.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhicheng told the news to "Sports Weekly" reporter Peng Zhijie.

Just a few days after entering the youth team training, he was included in the squad. Although he did not start, he is also worthy of joy.

If nothing happened, Peng Zhijie would definitely come to the scene, waiting to record the moment when Jiang Xiaolin might come off the bench.

But because Yu Hai also entered the 18-man roster for Waiters' home game against Hercules later that day, Peng Zhijie had to stay on the spot.

Therefore, Peng Zhijie could only ask Song Zhicheng to come to Alkmaar to watch Jiang Xiaolin's game, and then tell him Jiang Xiaolin's performance and the result of the match.

He wanted to watch Jiang Xiaolin's first game in the Alkmaar youth team, and with Peng Zhijie's entrustment, Song Zhicheng would not hesitate.

Song Zhicheng was not even sure whether Jiang Xiaolin would be able to play, so he ran to Alkmaar with his people.

Although Alkmaar and Amsterdam are two cities, the distance is only thirty or forty kilometers, which is not very far.

Therefore, Song Zhicheng drove a few Chinese fans from Chinatown to the Alkmaar youth training base in two cars to cheer for Jiang Xiaolin.

In addition to Song Zhicheng and others, there are hundreds of fans beside the training field.There are home games and away games, but home fans are the majority and away fans are only a dozen or so.

Most of these fans who are willing to watch the youth team games are, like Song Zhicheng and others, relatives and friends of the players who entered the match list today. Only a very small number of them are true fans who really care about the youth players and come to watch the youth team games. .

Song Zhicheng didn't tell Jiang Xiaolin before he came.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiaolin saw Song Zhicheng and others appearing on the sidelines, he was startled and quite moved.

Jiang Xiaolin went to say hello to everyone and chatted for a while. Song Zhicheng and others also encouraged and comforted Jiang Xiaolin, telling him not to worry.

In this game, it is best to be a substitute. If you cannot play, you must calmly wait for the next opportunity, and you can't be awkward with the coach.

Jiang Xiaolin nodded to express his understanding, and then returned to the bench with everyone's blessings, waiting for the game to start.

The youth team game is naturally not so formal, there are no ball boys, and there is no entry ceremony. The starting players of both sides directly stand in their respective halfs, set up their formations, and are ready to start the game.

At 14:30 in the afternoon, with the whistle of the referee, the 20th round of the Dutch Youth League [-] match between the Alkmaar Youth Team and the Dejastrup Youth Team officially started.

The Alkmaar youth team is currently ranked third in the standings, and the Deja Stroop youth team is ranked sixth. There is a little gap in strength, but it is not big.

In the 14th minute, the Alkmaar youth team was assisted by the left forward Joel to score a goal. The Alkmaar youth team led the Digastrup youth team 1-0 at home.

However, it didn't take long, and in the 25th minute, Deja Stroop's youth team retaliated.

They were assisted by the No. 6 full-back and crossed from the side. The No. 9 center grabbed the first point in the penalty area and took the lead. A powerful header broke through Alkmaar guarded by Elmer Youth team gate.

Deja Stroop Youth Team equalized the score, and the two sides drew 1-1.

Neither side scored again for the rest of the first half, keeping the score at 1-1 until half-time.

In fact, during the game, Jiang Xiaolin was anxious for his teammates watching from the sidelines.

The Alkmaar youth team still created a lot of scoring opportunities, but because of poor shooting skills, the players who shot either hit the plane or sent the ball directly to the goalkeeper. There were few shots with power and angles.

If Jiang Xiaolin was on the court, at least two or three of these opportunities would have entered him.

It's no wonder that Van Gaal didn't promote a striker from the youth team during the winter break. The scoring efficiency is indeed much worse.

Fortunately, Crofts didn't keep Jiang Xiaolin waiting.

Van Gaal sent Jiang Xiaolin to the youth team, not to let Jiang Xiaolin sit on the bench.

Although the youth team also has its own league, performance is not the focus. The main task of the youth team is to provide new players for the first team.

Since Jiang Xiaolin was chosen by Van Gaal, regardless of whether Jiang Xiaolin has adapted to the youth team or formed a tacit understanding with his teammates, Crofts will send Jiang Xiaolin to play.

The reason Jiang Xiaolin was not allowed to play in the first half was because he knew that Jiang Xiaolin had never played in a professional league, and he wanted Jiang Xiaolin to observe the half-court closely by himself.

During the halftime break, Crofts called Jiang Xiaolin into the small circle and arranged the tactics for the second half.

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin participating in the tactical meeting, everyone knew that Jiang Xiaolin was going to appear in the second half.

The two forwards looked a little unhappy, and it was unknown who would be replaced by Jiang Xiaolin.

Crofts didn't keep them waiting too long. As soon as the tactical meeting started, Crofts announced his decision to replace a striker who performed poorly in the first half with Jiang Xiaolin in the second half, making the striker named Bernie You can go back to the bench to rest early.

Bernie angrily left the small circle, returned to the bench, and sat down for a while without moving

Bernie felt too humiliated to be replaced by a 16-year-old kid who had been in the team for less than a week.

But he has no choice, he can't challenge the head coach, he can only go back to the bench to sulk.

Jiang Xiaolin can't control that much, he only knows that his official debut in the Alkmaar youth team is coming soon.
