Chapter 135
Baker is a man of swift action, otherwise he would not have been able to sign a world star like Ballack.
After making the decision, Baker took action immediately.
In today's match between Alkmaar and Grafschap, Baker appeared in the stands of the AFAS Stadium with his assistant.
When Jiang Xiaolin scored the first goal, Baker had already decided to sign Jiang Xiaolin.
When Jiang Xiaolin scored twice, Baker was already a little excited.
When Jiang Xiaolin assisted Dembele to score Alkmaar's third goal, Baker stood up and applauded like other fans.
Of course, other fans applauded for Dembele and the goal, and Baker applauded Jiang Xiaolin alone for the assist.
After the game, Baker and his assistant, like Mitchell, had a big smile on their faces, a happy smile of picking up a big bargain.
...
After the game, Jiang Xiaolin returned to the medical center, and Horatio used the advanced equipment of the medical center to conduct a more detailed and comprehensive examination of Jiang Xiaolin's injured right foot.
Finally, it was confirmed that Jiang Xiaolin was only injured superficially and would be fine after two days of rest. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
The next day, the Dutch media reported that Jiang Xiaolin scored two goals and one assist to lead Alkmaar to a 3-0 victory over Graafschap.
This time, the media really put Jiang Xiaolin in the core position of the team, and most of them used the word "led".
This basically recognized Jiang Xiaolin's core position in the Alkmaar team.
As for China, it was reported everywhere like an earthquake.
Because Jiang Xiaolin's 9 goals have broken the record of the highest single-season goals scored by Chinese overseas players in foreign top leagues created by Yang Chen in Frankfurt.
Everyone used the front-page headlines and the most shocking headlines to report Jiang Xiaolin's new record.
"Jiang Xiaolin scored twice and scored the 9th goal in the Eredivisie, creating the highest single-season goal record for Chinese players in Europe!
"Jiang Xiaolin scored 9 goals in 6 games in the Eredivisie, creating a new single-season goal record for Chinese overseas players! 》
《The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead, and talents emerge in every generation. Yang Chen's Bundesliga single-season record of 8 goals was broken by Jiang Xiaolin's 9 goals! 》
TV, newspapers, websites, and major media rushed to report.
Forums, blogs, QQ groups, fans and netizens were so excited that they could not control themselves, and discussed everywhere the miracle created by Jiang Xiaolin in Europe.
"Oh my god, Jiang Xiaolin is so amazing. He scored 9 goals in just 6 games and broke Yang Chen's record. Yang Chen scored 8 goals in 23 games, but we all think it's already amazing."
"The key is that Jiang Xiaolin is only 16 years old. This age is really amazing! He has a bright future!"
"With this level, it's enough to play in the top five leagues, right?"
"Absolutely enough! It's just that the time is too short and the experience is too little, so the teams in the top five leagues don't dare to introduce him yet. "
"I don't care about Europe, I only care about our own. If the National Olympic Team doesn't recruit Jiang Xiaolin to play in the Olympics, I will go and smash the door of the Football Committee."
"That's right, the National Olympic Team didn't recruit such a great player, it's simply blind!"
"If you really don't recruit Jiang Xiaolin, call me when you smash the door."
"Add me!"
...
While the outside world was hotly discussing Jiang Xiaolin's game last night, Jiang Xiaolin was already preparing to complete his first endorsement event.
At 9 am on Sunday, March 23, 2008, in the commercial center of Axis District, about 1 km away from Chinatown in the south of Amsterdam, a crowd of people surged in front of the first branch of Eway Supermarket Amsterdam with a business area of about 1,000 square meters.
Many overseas Chinese and local fans gathered under a stage, and more than a dozen reporters and photographers with long guns and short guns were waiting for the event to begin.
The background of the stage was a photo of Jiang Xiaolin holding a football and standing at the entrance of Yiwei Supermarket. It was written on it, "Opening Ceremony of the First Branch of Yiwei Supermarket in Amsterdam and Signing Ceremony of Football Star Jiang Xiaolin Endorsing Yiwei Supermarket".
The signing was completed a few days ago, and the purpose of holding this ceremony now is just to make a presence in the media.
Especially since Jiang Xiaolin scored twice and had an assist last night, the popularity is high, so holding this signing ceremony can be regarded as striking while the iron is hot.
Didn't you see reporters and photographers from more than a dozen media outlets coming to the stage?
Normally, a small supermarket branch opening would not invite so many reporters even if you paid them.
It was all because of Jiang Xiaolin's face.
There were also the citizens watching, in addition to the Chinese and overseas Chinese and students from Chinatown, there were also many local Dutch people, and many of them recognizedRecognize Jiang Xiaolin in the photo.
Obviously, Jiang Xiaolin has won the recognition of many Dutch people with his outstanding performance in recent games and constant news reports.
Although Amsterdam is not Alkmaar's base camp, it does not affect the outstanding performance of Jiang Xiaolin, which attracts some Amsterdam citizens to like him.
In particular, most of his teammates and fans from the amateur team Pulmes, where he used to play football, came to the scene to support Jiang Xiaolin.
In addition to some citizens who did not know Jiang Xiaolin but were watching the excitement, there were hundreds of people standing in the square at the door, and the momentum was quite large.
At 9 o'clock, a professional host invited by Yiwei Supermarket from the TV station came on stage to host the event, introduced the basic situation of Yiwei Supermarket, and then introduced the achievements made by Jiang Xiaolin since he entered the Eredivisie, which won warm applause from hundreds of audiences below the stage.
Then, under the flashlights of more than a dozen Dutch media reporters, Jiang Xiaolin and Mitchell completed the symbolic signing ceremony. Jiang Xiaolin also thanked the fans for their support, and then announced that he would be the cashier of Yiwei Supermarket next, and everyone was welcome to come in and shop.
This naturally ignited the shopping enthusiasm of all the audience. Everyone rushed into the supermarket to buy things, and called friends to come to buy things, watch stars, and enjoy the treatment of stars acting as cashiers to check out for them.
There are three cashiers at the supermarket exit. After changing into supermarket clothes, Jiang Xiaolin stood behind one of the cashiers. After being explained by a regular cashier, he learned how to cash out.
Then, a Chinese student who ran the fastest bought a pack of tissues not far from the door and ran over to let Jiang Xiaolin check out.
When Jiang Xiaolin was checking out, the Chinese student took out a notebook and a pen and said excitedly: "Jiang Xiaolin, you are so awesome! Sign for me!"
Jiang Xiaolin naturally agreed and signed for him.
Then, the student said "Come on" and reluctantly went out and left.
In fact, he came to Jiang Xiaolin specifically to ask for an autograph, and buying things was not the main purpose.
But many citizens still bought a lot of things. It doesn’t matter where you buy them, and Yiwei Supermarket opened on the first day, so there are discounts!
However, after buying things, most people lined up to check out at Jiang Xiaolin.
And many people also prepared jerseys, notebooks and other things, asking Jiang Xiaolin to sign and take photos.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin’s checkout speed was very slow and very tiring.
After taking a break for an hour at noon, Jiang Xiaolin worked until 7 pm, and then apologized to some citizens who were still queuing, and then left.
Originally, he only stood until 5 o’clock, but Jiang Xiaolin stood for two more hours because of the fans’ constant persuasion.
But he couldn’t stand it all the time, he also had to eat and rest!
And standing all day, talking to fans, signing, and interacting, Jiang Xiaolin’s physical fitness was a bit unbearable.
However, this first endorsement activity was finally completed.
