Chapter 157

In the Netherlands, Jiang Xiaolin received a call from Peng Zhijie after entering the training base, and learned that he was selected by the Football Committee for the latest training list of the National Olympic Team.

This was something that had been discussed long ago. In fact, Jiang Xiaolin and Peng Zhijie had already known that Peng Zhijie's intention of notifying Jiang Xiaolin was to make him ready to deal with the collective interviews of Chinese reporters.

After thanking Peng Zhijie, Jiang Xiaolin began to train normally.

However, after practicing arc shooting today, Jiang Xiaolin's arc skill attribute value did not increase, and it was still 3.

It seems that it is unlikely to increase an attribute value every day by training by yourself, and it will become more and more difficult as time goes by.

After the training that day, all Chinese media in Europe sent people to block Jiang Xiaolin at the entrance of the training base for a collective interview, asking him what he thought about being selected for the National Olympic Team.

Reporter: "Jiang Xiaolin, congratulations on being selected for the latest China Olympic training list."

Jiang Xiaolin: "Thank you."

Reporter: "What do you think about this?"

Jiang Xiaolin: "I am very honored and very proud! Being able to wear the national team jersey and fight for the country is the highest pursuit of all players. I am very grateful to the Football Committee and the National Olympic coaches for their trust, and I also thank all the media friends and fans for their support."

...

The interview lasted for more than half an hour before he was let go home by the reporters.

After returning home, Jiang Xiaolin quickly called his mother and told her the good news.

Jiang Liantao was really happy.

In fact, the concept of the Dutch League and so on is not very clear to her, an ordinary woman who does not watch football.

But joining the National Olympic team means representing China in the Olympics. At that time, the national television station will broadcast it live, which is extremely glorious. This status and importance are extremely clear.

Now her son is really promising, and she feels that all her hard work over the years is worth it.

Then, Jiang Liantao gave him some advice on the phone, asking him to be humble, get along well with his teammates, listen to the coach, etc.

After hanging up the phone with his mother, Jiang Xiaolin received calls from his agent Baker, Song Zhicheng and other friends in Chinatown, several representatives of overseas student fans, and his high school classmate Wang Jianping, all of whom congratulated him on his selection for the National Olympic Team.

Turning on the computer and logging into the blog, there were also congratulations from fans online.

Jiang Xiaolin updated a blog post, thanking the fans and netizens for their attention and support.

On April 11, Jiang Xiaolin's arc skill still had no points added.

But Jiang Xiaolin did not give up, and still resisted not using attribute points, but continued to work hard to practice arc shooting.

Of course, he also practiced fried meatballs, but that was for his teammates to see. Fried meatballs that were already 15 points could basically not be improved in a short period of time by training on their own.

It was not until April 12, the last day of training before the match, that Jiang Xiaolin finally accidentally shot a curved shot after practicing dozens of curved shots.

Although the arc was not large, after confirmation by Martens, Hamdaoyi and others next to him, Jiang Xiaolin's shot was indeed a curved shot.

Although he practiced for so many days and practiced hundreds of shots in total to hit such a curved shot, the success rate was pitifully low, and the arc was also very small, but he finally succeeded in hitting a curved shot.

So, thanks to the experience of accidentally kicking a curved shot, Jiang Xiaolin's curve skill attribute value finally increased a little bit automatically, from 3 to 4.

Although it is still not high, Jiang Xiaolin is already very satisfied.

Next, it is estimated that it will be difficult to quickly improve the attribute value of the curve in a few days of training like this. Jiang Xiaolin decided to start using attribute points to add points before tomorrow's game, just like adding dribbling and fried meatballs.

Because the Eredivisie has entered the penultimate round, in order to avoid match-fixing and tacit agreement and strive for fairness, the last two rounds of games will start at the same time.

On Sunday, April 13, 2008, the weather was fine, and the SBV Elite team's home stadium, Woodstine Park, which can accommodate only 4,500 people, was full.

Except for the two or three hundred Alkmaar away fans, the rest were the Elite team's home fans.

However, the stadium is still a little too small. Although it is full, it still looks a bit shabby and the momentum is not enough.

This is probably the reason why the Elite team ranks last this season and is about to face relegation!

However, the league has not ended yet, and the Elite team still has the possibility of relegation, so there are still so many fans who come to the scene to cheer for the home team, hoping that they will work hard, beat Alkmaar to get 3 points, and strive for relegation.

Before the game started, Jiang Xiaolin spent 2 attribute points to add the "arc" of 3 pointsAt 4, the 15-point "fried meatballs" were added to 16, and the attribute point balance was 47.

At 14:30 in the afternoon, the 33rd round of the 2007/2008 Dutch Eredivisie season, SBV Elite vs. Alkmaar, officially started at the SBV Elite team's home stadium, Woodstine Park.

Before the start of this game, Alkmaar had 49 points, ranking 7th in the Dutch Eredivisie standings, while the Elite team had only 26 points, ranking last in the Dutch Eredivisie standings.

Although both are Dutch Eredivisie teams, Alkmaar is only ranked in the middle, and there is no huge difference in strength with the Elite team, but it is certain that the Elite team is much weaker than Alkmaar.

If it was in the first half of the season or the middle of the season, the Elite team would definitely not dare to take the initiative to attack in front of Alkmaar.

Especially now that Alkmaar has Jiang Xiaolin, the goal-scoring machine, opponents have to be fully prepared for Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack.

But the Elite Team had no choice in this game. They were already forced into a desperate situation. The situation was even worse than that of the opponent of Alkmaar in the last game, Venlo.

At least Venlo ranked one place higher than the Elite Team.

The last-placed SBV Elite did not even qualify for a draw. Only by attacking and winning could they have a slight possibility of grabbing points and staying in the league.

Therefore, while Alkmaar only played a 442 balanced formation, the Elite Team played a 433 crazy attack formation in this game. There was not even a defensive midfielder in the midfield. All three midfielders were offensive forwards and attacking midfielders.

This was a desperate attempt to attack crazily and score goals to win the game.

This kind of opponent with a small number of defenders and active offense was exactly what Van Gaal wanted!

With Jiang Xiaolin, the counterattack killer, Alkmaar's defensive counterattack was actually a tactic that saved energy and was efficient.

The Elite Team took the initiative to expose the loophole to Alkmaar.
