Chapter 17

Seeing the stranger coming, the Chinese who was about to make a phone call did not make the call.

Everyone looked at Philip who walked in front of Jiang Xiaolin, wondering who he was or what he wanted.

Then, everyone heard Philip say to Jiang Xiaolin:

"Hello, Jiang, I am Philip, a professional scout from the Dutch Eredivisie Alkmaar Club. I watched your game today. Your performance is very good. You can definitely gain a foothold in the first division instead of continuing to play in the fourth division amateur league. On behalf of Alkmaar, I formally invite you to try out with our team. Is that okay?"

Everyone widened their eyes in surprise when they heard Philip's words.

This is really a coincidence.

Everyone was encouraging Jiang Xiaolin to try out with a professional team, and was about to call a professional scout. Unexpectedly, a real professional scout from the Dutch Eredivisie came out and invited Jiang Xiaolin to try out.

What a surprise.

Everyone had no experience and was afraid of bad things, so no one dared to speak, just quietly watching Jiang Xiaolin and Philip.

For Jiang Xiaolin, although he had already noticed the other party and knew through the system that the other party was a scout of the Dutch Eredivisie club, he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard it in person.

This is the rhythm of stepping from the fourth-level amateur league to the Dutch Eredivisie!

Although Jiang Xiaolin had never heard of Alkmaar when he was in China, he still heard of it after coming to the Netherlands.

In the first two seasons, Alkmaar was in the top three of the Dutch Eredivisie. Although it did not win the championship, it was already a very outstanding result and was definitely a strong team to compete for the championship.

Moreover, Alkmaar's current head coach is still the famous coach Van Gaal.

Van Gaal prefers to promote and reuse young people. If he plays under Van Gaal, he will undoubtedly get more opportunities to play.

As long as he is given a chance, Jiang Xiaolin believes that he can grasp it.

Therefore, after hearing Philip's invitation to try out, Jiang Xiaolin immediately nodded and said, "Thank you very much for your invitation. I am honored to participate in the trial training of Alkmaar."

Philip immediately smiled and said happily, "You made the right decision."

Then, Philip tore a piece of paper from his notebook and handed it to Jiang Xiaolin, which had his phone number and the address of Alkmaar's training base. Philip asked Jiang Xiaolin to go to the base on January 5, when the team started training after the winter break. Call him before that, and he would take Jiang Xiaolin to the base.

...

After Philip left, Song Zhicheng and others who had not dared to breathe just now cheered.

"Damn, an invitation to try out in the Eredivisie, Xiaolin is going to be promoted overnight!"

"I thought it would be good enough for Xiaolin to play in the professional league, but I didn't expect that the Eredivisie scouts were optimistic about him and invited him to try out in the Eredivisie team!"

"The head coach of Alkmaar is Van Gaal, right? He is a world-famous coach and likes to promote and reuse young people. As long as Xiaolin passes the tryout, he will definitely have the opportunity to play in the Eredivisie."

"I believe that with Xiaolin's ability, he will definitely pass the tryout."

Jiang Xiaolin quickly said modestly: "Not necessarily, not necessarily!"

Song Zhicheng patted Jiang Xiaolin on the shoulder and said: "What do you mean not necessarily? It will definitely work! As long as you play normally during the tryout, you will definitely pass. Scoring 9 goals in three games is no joke. Otherwise, do you think the Eredivisie scouts are idle, come to watch a Class D amateur game, and then invite you, an amateur part-time player, to try out?"

Others nodded one after another.

Song Zhicheng said again: "By the way, if you pass the trial, you may have to sign a contract. Xiaolin, do you have an agent you are interested in?"

Jiang Xiaolin shook his head and said: "No, how about you be my agent and help me negotiate the contract?"

Song Zhicheng thought for a while and said: "I can't do that. I have to take care of my restaurant, and I don't understand professional legal matters. However, your main goal now is to pass the trial and join Alkmaar. You don't have the capital to negotiate conditions with others. Basically, you sign whatever they offer. It's not complicated. In this case, I will be your temporary agent this time. "I'll ask you to find a professional football agent to help you sign your first professional contract. I don't want any commission, it's just a help. Later, you can consult with your coaches and teammates and find a professional football agent!" Jiang Xiaolin said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Cheng, you have always been helping me." Song Zhicheng smiled and said: "It's nothing, as long as you play football seriously in the future. As a fan, I'm waiting to watch you play in the Eredivisie!" Jiang Xiaolin nodded vigorously and said: "I will definitely do it and won't let you down." Then, everyone took several cars of Song Zhicheng and others back to Chinatown.In the car, Jiang Xiaolin took the opportunity to look at his system changes.

Because when Philip invited him to a tryout, the system electronic sound reminded him that he had completed Task 2 and received a reward of 1,000 experience points.

These 1,000 experience points allowed Jiang Xiaolin to upgrade from Level 3 100/500 to Level 4 600/700, and received a reward of 10 attribute points.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin opened the package again and opened the level gift package (Level 4) to draw skills.

As a result, the skill he drew this time was physical strength, which is also a very practical skill.

After all, the technical and tactical level and running distance of the top league must be much higher, and you cannot survive without sufficient physical strength.

After turning on physical strength, Jiang Xiaolin can add points to physical strength.

However, Jiang Xiaolin believes that his physical fitness brought by his genetic atavism must be good in itself.

Sure enough, after opening the skill page, Jiang Xiaolin saw that the attribute value of his physical strength was 16. Compared to his basic attributes of shooting, heading, and running without the ball, this is very, very high.

But now there is a problem, that is, Jiang Xiaolin only has 10 attribute points from the upgrade reward, and it is impossible to fill up 19 points of heading and 16 points of physical strength.

In the end, Jiang Xiaolin felt that 16 points of physical strength should be enough, and he is not a free man all the time.

The ability to seize scoring opportunities is more important.

So, Jiang Xiaolin first spent 5 attribute points to fill up 19 points of heading to 20 points. Then, he spent 3 attribute points to fill up 16 points of physical strength to 19 points, and only 1 point is left to the full value, and the attribute point balance is 2.

After the addition of points, Jiang Xiaolin's basic information and skills became:

Host: Jiang Xiaolin

Nationality: China

Age: 16 years old

Height: 182cm

Weight: 80kg

Level: 4

Experience: 600/700

Attribute points: 2

Club: Pulmes (Netherlands)

Shooting: 20

Off-ball movement: 20

Tackle: 3

Heading: 20

Stamina: 19

Looking at his information and skill attributes, Jiang Xiaolin smiled confidently.

With full shooting, heading, off-ball movement, and nearly full stamina, Jiang Xiaolin didn't believe that he couldn't pass the trial at Alkmaar.

Even if his dribbling, passing, teamwork and other aspects were relatively amateur, these few shining points were enough for Jiang Xiaolin to pass the trial at Alkmaar and gain a foothold in the Eredivisie.
