God of Green

After ending the call with his mother, Jiang Xiaolin received a call from Peng Zhijie, a reporter from Sports Weekly.

Peng Zhijie had received a call from Song Zhicheng and learned the result of Jiang Xiaolin's game. He praised Jiang Xiaolin's performance today.

Then, Peng Zhijie interviewed Jiang Xiaolin on the phone, and then wrote a press release based on the photos and game process brought back by Song Zhicheng and others.

Peng Zhijie told Jiang Xiaolin with certainty that although his game was a youth team game, his performance of scoring two goals as a substitute in his debut would definitely be published in Sports Weekly next Monday.

Jiang Xiaolin himself did not have a computer, but he also told Peng Zhijie that a reporter from the Dutch Football Association's official website He Qingjiazi interviewed him, so that Peng Zhijie could refer to it when he saw it.

Peng Zhijie was overjoyed to get this news.

The records of the professional reporters of the Football Association must be much more detailed and concise than the verbal descriptions of Jiang Xiaolin and Song Zhicheng. At that time, he would have a reference object, and the manuscript would be easier to write.

Jiang Xiaolin also asked about Yu Hai's situation in Vitesse. When he learned that Yu Hai had not been able to get a chance to play as a substitute, Jiang Xiaolin felt a little sorry for him.

Finally, Peng Zhijie expressed his hope that Jiang Xiaolin would continue to work hard, and the two hung up the phone.

That night, Peng Zhijie did see the match report about the Alkmaar Youth Team VS the De Gastrup Youth Team on the Youth League Second Division page of the Dutch Football Association's official website.

The player lists of both sides, the progress of the game, key events, and especially the time of the goals were very detailed.

Although the length was not large, the focus of the report was Jiang Xiaolin, who came on as a substitute in the second half and scored twice, and there was a lot of description about Jiang Xiaolin.

Peng Zhijie was immediately overjoyed. Based on this report, he extracted the key points about Jiang Xiaolin's game, combined with the telephone interview and Song Zhicheng's narration, and made a long news article of more than 1,000 words, and sent it back to China with some photos.

Not long after the manuscript was sent back to China, Peng Zhijie received a call from the editor-in-chief, saying that his news was very valuable and could be published in the newspaper last Monday.

Moreover, the editor-in-chief asked for more detailed information about Jiang Xiaolin on the phone, and then asked Peng Zhijie to pay more attention to Jiang Xiaolin in the future and strive for more news.

Peng Zhijie judged that when Yu Hai had almost no chance to play and there was no news to write, the newspaper leaders would most likely shift the focus of the work of the Dutch press station to Jiang Xiaolin.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin has only played one game now, and it was a game for the youth team, so he has not reached such a level of attention.

Jiang Xiaolin still needs more performance.

The next day, Sunday, January 20, the youth team was on holiday, and Jiang Xiaolin watched the live broadcast of Alkmaar's away challenge to Heerenveen in the 20th round of the Eredivisie at home.

This was the second league game of the first team after the winter break.

In the first league match after the winter break, Alkmaar lost 1-6 to Ajax away from home. Jiang Xiaolin thought that the first team would learn from their mistakes and bounce back.

Unexpectedly, Van Gaal's team lost again away from home, without scoring a single goal, and was beaten 4-0 by Heerenveen, shaving their heads.

After the winter break, Alkmaar not only did not bounce back and catch up, but suffered two consecutive defeats, and its ranking in the standings dropped from 8th to 11th.

The first team's consecutive big-score defeats made the entire city of Alkmaar look much gloomier.

Monday, January 21, was the day when the youth team resumed training.

In the locker room, before the training time, the players who came earlier were chatting while changing their clothes.

"Did you watch the first-team game yesterday?"

"Yes, we lost 4-0 and had our heads shaved. Oh, how miserable!"

"We played well in the first two seasons, either second or third, why are we not doing well this season?"

"Yeah, the coach hasn't changed, Van Gaal is still the coach, how come we are playing like this?"

"The newspaper said the team's defense is not good and can't stop the opponent's attack."

"I think it's the striker who is not good and has poor ability to seize opportunities. We shouldn't have sold Avilas last summer."

"Anyway, people are saying all kinds of things."

"Speaking of which, the first team is in such a state. Do you think Van Gaal will transfer two players from the youth team to serve as fresh blood?"

"Who can tell, but he didn't transfer anyone during the winter training camp. I don't think we have much chance this season!"

"Yes! If he really wanted to transfer, he should have transferred him when the training camp started after the winter break. At least he could train with the first team for a longer period of time."

"That's not the case. We don't have much chance. Jiang should have a chance. He was originallyHe is a member of the first team, but he was sent to the youth team for training. "

"Yes, Jiang scored twice in the game the day before yesterday. This goal efficiency is exactly what the first team needs now!"

Gradually, the topic of discussion shifted to Jiang Xiaolin, guessing when Jiang Xiaolin would be transferred to the first team to help out, and asking Jiang Xiaolin to remember to treat him when he was transferred to the first team.

Jiang Xiaolin is the youngest in the youth team, and currently has the most hope of being transferred to the first team, so he naturally became the object of everyone's teasing.

Jiang Xiaolin quickly and modestly said that he only wanted to train and play well at present, and whether he could be transferred to the first team was a matter for the coaches to consider.

If he could really be transferred to the first team, he would naturally treat him.

As everyone chatted, the training time was approaching soon. Everyone changed into training clothes, left the locker room, and came to the training ground to prepare for a new day of training.

However, after arriving at the training ground, everyone found that it was not just the two coaches, Crofts and Freeman, who were waiting for them, but also one more person.

After Crofts' introduction, everyone knew that this was Alfred, the new assistant coach of the youth team.

The players were a little confused. How could there be another assistant coach when there was already an assistant coach Freeman? Could the youth team have the luxury of forming a coaching team like the first team?

However, although everyone was a little confused, they could only keep it to themselves.

After the training started, Alfred did not come up with any different training methods. He just supervised everyone's training and did some simple auxiliary work according to the training plan formulated by Freeman.

Later, everyone gradually discovered that Alfred was observing Jiang Xiaolin most of the time during the whole day of training.

Jiang Xiaolin himself naturally noticed this, which made him quite depressed. He thought to himself: "Why is this new assistant coach always staring at me? ”

After all, he was too young. The 16-year-old Jiang Xiaolin couldn’t handle the ups and downs.

Jiang Xiaolin, who wanted to go all out and strive to improve his training performance rating, was disrupted by Alfred’s close observation throughout the day, and the quality of training that day was not high.

In the end, after a whole day of all-out training, Jiang Xiaolin sweated the most, but only received a good performance system rating and gained 100 training experience points.
