God of Green

After passing the physical examination, Alkmaar held a press conference at 14:00 on the second day, January 12, and signed a contract with Jiang Xiaolin on the spot at the press conference.

Of course, this press conference was not held for Jiang Xiaolin alone. He was a pure rookie and did not have such a big face.

If the media was told that this press conference was to sign a contract with a 16-year-old Chinese young man who played in the third-level amateur league, it was estimated that few reporters would come.

The real reason for this press conference was actually the pre-match press conference of the first league after the winter break.

Because the two sides of this game were Ajax at home against Alkmaar.

Ajax is a world-renowned super giant and the most successful team in the Netherlands, and Alkmaar's coach Van Gaal used to be the head coach of Ajax.

Moreover, Alkmaar's performance in the first half of the season was not good, and Van Gaal even wanted to resign.

Although he was retained by the club and the players, everyone was still very curious about what Van Gaal was thinking.

Therefore, this game was full of highlights, and the pre-match press conference naturally attracted attention.

The media and the public are all paying attention to Van Gaal's attitude towards Ajax, what will be Alkmaar's starting lineup tomorrow, Alkmaar's goals for the second half of the season, etc.

Then, completing Jiang Xiaolin's signing and press conference at such a press conference was just a matter of convenience.

Of course, the press conference for new players is not only for Jiang Xiaolin, but also for two other defenders newly introduced during the winter break.

Van Gaal and Anselm appeared in the press conference room in advance, which made the media reporters in the press conference room a little stunned.

Wasn't it the pre-match press conference of Ajax VS Alkmaar? What is General Manager Anselm doing here?

Just when everyone was confused, the press officer said: "Thank you all the journalists for coming. Before introducing the preparations for the next round of games, we also have a player signing ceremony and a new player meeting during the winter break. Please pay more attention to the new players."

Everyone suddenly realized and understood the reason why Anselm appeared at this press conference, and pointed the camera at the side door entrance next to the speaking stage.

Then, the press officer invited Jiang Xiaolin and Song Zhicheng to come out.

Jiang Xiaolin, who was standing behind the side door, was wearing the new clothes he had just bought today. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open with Song Zhicheng one after the other and walked in.

The scene of being blinded by the flash in his imagination did not appear. Only a few reporters pressed the camera button in their hands, and no one else moved.

Jiang Xiaolin, who was a little nervous, walked to the podium disappointedly and sat down next to Anselm. Song Zhicheng sat next to him.

Looking at Jiang Xiaolin, who had a young face, the reporters below started to talk disappointedly.

"Yellow people? Are they from Korea, Japan, or China?"

"I don't know them at all."

"They are definitely newcomers."

"Van Gaal is crazy. Even if he likes to promote young people, he doesn't need such young players to play in the Eredivisie, right?"

"I don't know if they are 18 years old."

"At such a young age, can they play in the Eredivisie first team?"

At the podium, Anselm took the microphone and waited for the reporters to quiet down a little. He first pointed at Jiang Xiaolin and Song Zhicheng and introduced their names and identities, and then began to introduce the details.

"Jiang is an excellent player from China. He played part-time in the D-level amateur league for Pulmes before. He was discovered by our scouts and joined the first team for trial training after the winter break."

"After a week of trial training and inspection, the club's top management and coaching staff including Van Gaal agreed that Jiang has reached the signing standard for professional players in Alkmaar."

"After full communication with Jiang and his agent, the two sides reached a consensus and completed the formal signing at today's press conference. Please be a witness, journalists and friends."

"Now, if you have any questions, you can ask them. After the questions are finished, we will hold the signing ceremony."

Originally, the reporters were not very interested when they saw Jiang Xiaolin appear.

The yellow race does not have much status in the football map.

A young yellow player with no historical achievements is just a passer-by in the football world in everyone's mind, and has no news value.

As a result, after listening to Anselm's introduction, Jiang Xiaolin actually came from the mysterious China, and was a player who played in the D-level amateur league before.

A player from the D-level amateur league was discovered by a Dutch Eredivisie scout and signed a contract with a Dutch Eredivisie club. This experience is so inspiring that many fans and readers will probably be interested.

Therefore, the reporters immediately became interested and raised their hands to ask questions, asking Jiang XiaoWhere Lin came from, his football experience, why he was spotted by scouts, his feelings about signing with Alkmaar, his impression of Van Gaal, etc.

There were quite a few questions, and they were very enthusiastic.

Seeing such a lively situation, Anselm finally felt relieved.

Jiang Xiaolin was also very excited, and he actively answered the reporters' questions.

Jiang Xiaolin's proficiency in Dutch made the reporters present feel good about him, and they thought this young man was very good.

Just like Chinese people will feel good about foreigners if they see them speaking Chinese fluently.

Of course, the stories revealed in Jiang Xiaolin's speech made everyone more interested.

Before he signed with a professional club, Jiang Xiaolin didn't dare to tell his mother about being cheated.

Now that the matter has passed, he has signed with Alkmaar, and he doesn't have to worry about his future.

And when he becomes famous in the future, his past experiences will definitely be dug up by reporters and known to his mother.

After all, there are too many people in Chinatown and the Pulmès team who know that they were cheated.

Rather than being dug out by reporters later, it is better to tell the truth now and gain some sympathy and exposure. It would be even better if reporters could help catch the dead liar.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiaolin's tortuous experience greatly inspired the reporters.

A poor boy from a mountain village in China, who has been dependent on his mother since childhood and loves football, was deceived by a liar to the Netherlands, penniless and living by wandering and begging.

Then he was taken in by Chinese compatriot and restaurant owner Song Zhicheng, failed in the trial training of Ajax youth team, joined Pulmès to play in the amateur league of the fourth level, and finally worked hard. After scoring 9 goals in three games, he was spotted by scouts from Alkmaar, taken to the club for trial training, and then recognized by coaches such as Van Gaal and signed a contract with the Dutch Eredivisie club.

In the eyes of reporters, Jiang Xiaolin's experience is simply too legendary, too inspiring, and too interesting.

It is much more attractive than the experience of a professional player who has participated in the youth training camp of a professional team since childhood, promoted in various echelons, and was promoted to the first team naturally.

The reporters in the press conference room were all excited.

The flash lights that Jiang Xiaolin had been expecting finally flashed one after another.

I believe that there will be a lot of reports about Jiang Xiaolin in newspapers and on TV tonight and tomorrow.
