Chapter 143

After making up his mind, Jiang Xiaolin did not hesitate and expressed his determination to participate in the National Olympic Team training camp in a very solemn tone:

"Thank you for your trust and respect for me, but China is my motherland, and this year's Olympics will be held in China. Therefore, I will not give up any opportunity to play for the country in the national team jersey, even if it is just a training camp and two friendly matches now, I will not give up, I hope you respect my choice."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin clearly expressed his opinion that he would not give up the training opportunity, Anselm and Van Gaal had no choice.

They could not have a falling out.

Anselm wanted to renew his contract with Jiang Xiaolin, and Van Gaal valued Jiang Xiaolin more, so there was no need to make everyone unhappy for a training camp for the National Olympic Team.

Therefore, the two could only discuss Jiang Xiaolin's schedule with him on the premise of letting him go to the training camp.

Anselm expressed their opinion, which was to let Jiang Xiaolin stay in the Netherlands to play in the 33rd round of the Eredivisie on April 13, and then go directly to Serbia to join the Chinese Olympic team, without having to return to China to gather.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin nodded, they would communicate with the Chinese Olympic team and persuade them.

After listening, Jiang Xiaolin nodded. He also felt that it was not appropriate for him to return to China to gather and then fly to Serbia, who was already in Europe.

Flying back and forth like that would put too much pressure on the body and the jet lag. It would be more reasonable to go directly to Serbia to join the Olympic team after the 33rd round of the Eredivisie.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin agreed to the suggestions made by Anselm and Van Gaal.

After the negotiation, Jiang Xiaolin left the office and went back to the training ground to continue training. Anselm called the Chinese Olympic team back, saying that the Alkmaar Club agreed to let Jiang Xiaolin participate in the training camp of the Chinese Olympic team, but Jiang Xiaolin needed to fly directly from the Netherlands to Serbia on April 14 after participating in the 33rd round of the Eredivisie on April 13 to join the Chinese Olympic team, instead of going back and forth in China.

In fact, this plan had already been proposed by someone in the Olympic team. Jiang Xiaolin, who was already in Europe, did not need to gather in China first and then fly to Serbia together with other domestic players.

It was just that the time was a bit right.

But the Chinese Olympic team still agreed with Anselm's opinion.

They didn't want to offend the Alkmaar Club.

So, Jiang Xiaolin's participation in the next round of the Chinese Olympic team's European training camp was decided, and only the list was officially announced.

However, before that, Alkmaar still had a game to play.

That is the away game against Venlo on April 6.

Venlo currently has 26 points, ranking second from the bottom and deep in the relegation zone, but with three rounds left in the Eredivisie, they are only 2 points away from the fourth from the bottom Willem II, and have not lost the hope of relegation.

In fact, the hope of relegation is not small.

Therefore, the expectations for this game in the Netherlands are not small.

One is whether Alkmaar can continue to win, the other is whether Venlo can stay in the league, and the last one is whether Jiang Xiaolin, who has scored a lot of goals since landing in the Eredivisie, can continue to score goals.

However, no matter how much the Dutch media and fans expect, they can't compare to the expectations of Chinese media fans and Japanese media fans for this game.

Because there are two Asian players in the big list announced before the game.

They are Jiang Xiaolin, the No. 29 Chinese player of Alkmaar, and Keisuke Honda, the No. 29 Japanese player of Venlo.

Jiang Xiaolin can basically ensure the starting lineup, and the probability of Keisuke Honda starting is not low.

This is an East Asian derby in the Eredivisie.

There is no need to talk about the historical grievances between China and Fuso in the war, and there is also a lot of hatred in football alone.

In the 2004 Asian Cup, China lost the championship at home, and lost to Fuso in the final.

Chinese fans can remember this hatred for a lifetime.

There are many coincidences between Jiang Xiaolin and Honda Keisuke.

Both of them joined during the winter break in January, and then, both of them have the same jersey number 29.

They are natural opponents.

From nationality to the time of joining the Eredivisie and jersey number, it is impossible for the media and fans of the two countries not to hype and look forward to this game.

As early as the end of the last round of games, the media of the two countries began to hype this game.

As the game day approaches, this heat is even higher.

Both countries sent a strong media lineup to the Netherlands to interview the two players and their teammates and ask them about their views on the game.

Because Venlo is currently in the relegation zone, and Jiang Xiaolin has scored 12 goals in 7 gamesIn fact, Honda Keisuke did not say anything bold, but just said that he would give his all to help the team win and win points for relegation.

Moreover, Honda Keisuke also praised Jiang Xiaolin for his high talent and strong strength, and the level of Asia's top striker.

This disappointed the Fuso media.

What they actually hoped was that Honda Keisuke would shout out the slogan of defeating Jiang Xiaolin, but Honda Keisuke was not so stupid.

Jiang Xiaolin scored 12 goals in 7 games, not to mention Honda Keisuke, many excellent European strikers can't play it.

Honda Keisuke has played 12 times for Venlo in the Eredivisie, and only scored 2 goals. Compared with Jiang Xiaolin's 12 goals in 7 games, it is simply a world of difference, how to compare?

The reporter wanted to hype the news, but Honda Keisuke didn't want to become a joke after the game.

It's easy to make big talk, but it's not easy to take it back when you lose face.

Honda Keisuke also wants to make big talk and win glory for the country, but his strength doesn't allow it!

On the other hand, Jiang Xiaolin, in an interview with Chinese media, was full of confidence in this game and even the East Asian Derby with Honda Keisuke.

On the one hand, Jiang Xiaolin has confidence in the system. On the other hand, he also has confidence in the strength of VVV.

Although the relegation team is not easy to beat at the end of the league, the second-to-last team of VVV is indeed too weak.

Jiang Xiaolin is confident that he can lead Alkmaar to defeat VVV where Honda Keisuke is.

As for the so-called East Asian Derby, he also has full confidence to win glory for the country.

Even if Honda Keisuke is a well-known player in Fuso, even if he played in the Eredivisie earlier than Jiang Xiaolin, in front of the system, Honda Keisuke's achievements are scum.

Jiang Xiaolin's current data and results have already crushed Honda Keisuke.

As for the future, the gap will only get bigger and bigger.

Just talking about this game, Jiang Xiaolin will definitely lead his teammates to defeat VVV.

The hatred between China and Fuso means that Jiang Xiaolin doesn't need anyone to mobilize him. Even without the system rating, he will do his best.
