God of Greenery

Jiang Xiaolin naturally didn't know the sales situation of "Sports Weekly" in his hometown and the heated discussions it caused.

He just posted a group of photos and experiences of the game on his blog, thanked the fans for their support, and received many fans' enthusiastic comments and attention.

Jiang Xiaolin's fans and followers skyrocketed.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin looked at the reports on the Internet.

There are also many heated discussions on the Internet, and Jiang Xiaolin is quite happy to know how popular he is in China.

However, some fans called for the Olympic team to recruit Jiang Xiaolin to play in the Olympics, but the Olympic team did not respond.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't care either.

Even if he doesn't understand, he also knows that with only 2 minutes of professional game experience, it is impossible for him to be called up by the Olympic team.

In the following days, Alkmaar resumed normal training.

After stopping the losing streak, everyone's training atmosphere became much better.

On February 2, the Hua Guo Olympic team announced the new training list for Spring City, and Jiang Xiaolin was not included.

Not only was there no Jiang Xiaolin, but there was no Yu Hai either.

Yu Hai's unstable appearance in Waiters affected his future in the Olympic team.

Of course, the reporters must have asked about Jiang Xiaolin.

After all, a Chinese player who played in the Eredivisie and scored goals at the young age of 16 must have attracted much attention and became famous overnight in China.

According to the official spokesperson of the National Olympic Games, they are already focusing on Jiang Xiaolin's performance, but they have not yet confirmed that they will recruit Jiang Xiaolin. It remains to be observed.

Peng Zhijie also called to comfort Jiang Xiaolin, telling him to continue to perform, and it is entirely possible to join the Olympic team before the start of the Olympic Games.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't care, and he didn't have any expectations about it.

At present, his mind is still on how to increase his playing time and gain a firm foothold. It is still far away for him to fight for the country.

It is more important to set up the football team first.

On the afternoon of February 2, after the team finished training, assistant coach Juncker announced the squad for the next day's game on behalf of Van Gaal, and Jiang Xiaolin continued to be on the list.

However, the next day, when the starting lineup was announced before the game, Jiang Xiaolin was not there.

The two starting forwards are No. 10 Hamdoy and No. 16 Wien Bloom.

This disappointed Jiang Xiaolin, but there was nothing he could do.

Maybe it's because of age, or maybe it's because of the tacit understanding with his teammates. Anyway, Jiang Xiaolin has not yet reached the level where Van Gaal can be completely relieved, and he has not been given the chance to start.

Jiang Xiaolin could only continue to sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity.

……

On February 2008, 2, Saturday, at 23 o'clock in the evening, with the whistle of the referee, the 21th round of the 2007/2008 Eredivisie season Alkmaar vs. Twente was officially held at the home stadium of Alkmaar. kick off.

The weather for this game was a bit unfavorable, with drizzling rain.

It is winter itself, cold and rainy, and with the team's poor record of [-] draw and [-] losses since the second half of the season, there are naturally not many people watching the game at home.

The AFAS Stadium, which can accommodate more than 17000 people, has less than half the attendance.

However, most of those who can still come to support the team at this time are die-hard fans.

Many people didn't have umbrellas or raincoats at all, just stood in the stands like that, singing the team song for the home team with the slogans of the leaders of the fan organization, sending applause, cheers and so on.

Although Jiang Xiaolin didn't play, he still felt different when he saw that his teammates received unanimous applause and cheers from thousands of home fans for their outstanding performance on the field.

This is the difference between home and away games.

In my own home game, it is true that the body and mind are much happier, and the performance is much better.

However, probably due to the bad weather today, the field is relatively slippery, the two teams are evenly matched, and neither of them played too well, let alone scored a goal.

Twente is currently ranked 8th, 9 points more than Alkmaar, and the strength gap is not big.

After the first half, the score between the two sides was still 0-0, and no one scored a goal.

The only bright spot is probably Alkmaar's starting goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, who is only 20 years old.

Twente still hit a few threatening shots, but Romero kept them out.

This was the most satisfying point for the home fans in the first half.

Much better than the previous main goalkeeper Didulica.

Watching Didulica keep the goal is simply heartbreaking. He doesn't know when he will concede the ball, and he has conceded several times in every game since the second half of the season.

Although Romero is young, he can defend the goal, which is very surprising. Every time he saves, he can arouse huge applause and applause from the fans in the audience, which makes Jiang Xiaolin quite envious. He doesn't know when he will be able to play.

During the intermission, Van Gaal changed someone, but it was not Jiang Xiaolin, but the midfielder.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The sky continued to drizzle, and the offense of both sides did not improve much. Until the 60th minute, the score was still 0-0, and Van Gaal began to watch from the bench occasionally.

Probably thinking about who to replace.

In the 65th minute, there was still no goal. Van Gaal explained to the assistant coach Junker, and Junker called all the players on the bench out to warm up.

Jiang Xiaolin felt hot, took off his coats with everyone, and rushed to the sidelines to start warming up, causing Song Zhicheng and others in the stands to shout excitedly.

Some other Alkmaar fans, especially those who watched Jiang Xiaolin's youth team match, also shouted "Jiang, Jiang, Jiang" in the stands, which made Jiang Xiaolin quite enthusiastic.

However, they have been warming up, but Van Gaal has not changed.

It wasn't until the 75th minute that starting No. 16 striker Wien Bloom kicked a wonderful pass from Hamdoy into the stands in the penalty area, and Van Gaal finally made up his mind to make a substitution. .

Van Gaal turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaolin and the others who were warming up, and finally fixed his eyes on Jiang Xiaolin for a few seconds, then turned to Junker and said, "Tell the fourth official to replace Wei En with Jiang."

Juncker nodded, and ran over to discuss the replacement with the fourth official, while Van Gaal shouted to Jiang Xiaolin, "Jiang, come here!"

Jiang Xiaolin, who was warming up but had been paying attention to the coach's movements, was overjoyed. He hurried to Van Gaal and said, "Coach."

Van Gaal said: "You will play later and replace Wien Bloom. The weather in this game is bad, so I told everyone not to play ground offense. I will pass you the ball in the air and use your body and header to overwhelm Twen special."

Jiang Xiaolin nodded fiercely and said, "Understood."
