Chapter 187

In fact, Jiang Xiaolin wanted to talk to his mother privately.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin was only 16 years old. He went out for a year, was cheated in the early stage, and then worked part-time while playing football, and suffered a lot.

Later, he suddenly got a system plug-in, signed a contract with a professional team, and joined the National Olympic Team. His life changed dramatically.

Jiang Xiaolin, who was still a minor according to Chinese law, needed to talk to his mother about the ups and downs.

Even if he didn't tell his mother about the system plug-in, just talking to his mother about his experience could also be a kind of emotional catharsis, and at the same time let his mother know about his life in the past year.

But these neighbors were so curious, Jiang Xiaolin couldn't open his mouth to drive them back, what kind of person would he be?

Besides, there were two cameras facing him, and he couldn't make a scandal of looking down on his neighbors because of his achievements.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin could only face everyone with a smile, and then, at the urging of his mother, tell about his experience after going to the Netherlands.

This is much more detailed than what everyone has learned in newspapers and on TV. Even Jiang Liantao heard her son talk about it in such detail for the first time.

The four reporters from the provincial and county TV stations (including two interview reporters and two photographers) were even more excited, and they kept checking the equipment, fearing that the equipment had malfunctioned and they could not record Jiang Xiaolin's speech.

Jiang Xiaolin told how he suddenly couldn't find the fraud scout after getting off the plane in Amsterdam, and then found that all the money on him had been taken away by the fraudster.

At first, he was hopeful that the fraudster had just left for a short time to go to the toilet or buy things.

As time went by, the fraudster didn't come, and Jiang Xiaolin's bad thoughts were increasingly confirmed, filling him with fear and hesitation.

When he went there, he didn't know Dutch, and he didn't even know common English. He didn't dare to call the police. On the one hand, he was unfamiliar with the place and timid, and on the other hand, he was afraid of being deported and disappointing his mother.

Jiang Xiaolin could only wander the streets of Amsterdam and beg for a living after leaving the airport.

Because of the language barrier, Jiang Xiaolin even had a hard time begging.

He had been hungry, slept in the park, was expelled and despised, and even picked up food thrown by others in the trash.

Fortunately, it was summer at that time, otherwise Jiang Xiaolin would have been frozen to death in Amsterdam.

It was not until Jiang Xiaolin met the kind-hearted Chinese restaurant owner Song Zhicheng that he got a job opportunity and a place to stay.

After listening to Jiang Xiaolin's experience when he first arrived in the Netherlands, Jiang Liantao even cried and hugged Jiang Xiaolin's head and said, "That damn liar made you suffer, Xiaolin."

Others also shed tears and felt sad for Jiang Xiaolin's experience.

Even if they have not experienced it personally, think about it, a 16-year-old Chinese boy who is still in high school in China and cannot speak the language, has no money in a foreign country, and relies on wandering and begging to make a living, one day at a time...

Just thinking about this kind of life is enough to make people feel scared.

And Jiang Xiaolin experienced it personally.

While everyone felt sad for Jiang Xiaolin's experience, they were also grateful for Jiang Xiaolin's later development.

If it weren't for Song Zhicheng's help and shelter, Jiang Xiaolin would have died in the Netherlands without knowing when.

Therefore, after Jiang Liantao finished crying, she quickly told Jiang Xiaolin that she must invite Song Zhicheng to come to China to play and see when she is free, so that she can express her gratitude.

Jiang Xiaolin nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued to talk about what happened after he was taken in by Song Zhicheng.

Song Zhicheng is a crazy football fan. He heard that Jiang Xiaolin, his compatriot, can play football. This time he came to Europe with the idea of ​​trying out and staying in Europe to play in the professional league, so Song Zhicheng began to take Jiang Xiaolin for trials everywhere.

As a result, in Ajax, Jiang Xiaolin was taught a lesson by a group of 11-year-old children.

After failing the trial at Ajax, Song Zhicheng took Jiang Xiaolin to try out everywhere, and finally lowered the requirements to a Class D amateur team. It was also because of Song Zhicheng's personal relationship with Pulmes coach Van der No that Jiang Xiaolin was squeezed into this amateur team as an amateur player, working in a restaurant while playing part-time in Pulmes.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin certainly couldn't tell the story of getting the system.

To his mother and these domestic neighbors and media reporters, Jiang Xiaolin said that the youth training and football system in the Netherlands is very developed, even amateur competitions are very formal, and there are many levels of amateur leagues.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin's experience in Pulmes is very important and he learned a lot.

It was the experience in Pulmes that turned Jiang Xiaolin from an amateur player in China into a professional player who can adapt to European football.

After staying in Pulmes for more than two months, Jiang Xiaolin ushered in a turning point in his fate: he wasScouts from the Dutch Eredivisie club Alkmaar took a fancy to him and invited him to try out for Alkmaar during the winter break.

As for the story behind, everyone is familiar with it, as it is often reported in the media.

After knowing that Jiang Xiaolin was famous, these neighbors were surprised, curious, and proud that Jiang Xiaolin, who came from here, had made such a big name.

Therefore, everyone began to pay attention to reports about Jiang Xiaolin, and naturally became familiar with the story after Jiang Xiaolin signed with Alkmaar.

However, listening to Jiang Xiaolin's story at this time, it still feels different in my heart.

Jiang Xiaolin described the experience of being sent to take a penalty kick by Van Gaal in his Eredivisie debut as follows:

"I gave up at that time, thinking that I would not be able to play in this game."

"Of course, I didn't have any extra thoughts at that time. After all, I was promoted to the first team and was included in the 18-man squad in the first weekend of the league. This was Van Gaal taking good care of me as a newcomer."

"Unexpectedly, in the last minute after the injury time, Ali was tackled in the opponent's penalty area and was injured and had to leave the field. As a result, Van Gaal called me over and asked me to replace the injured Ali."

"After seeing Ali being tackled and the team doctor signaling Van Gaal to make a substitution, this I had expected this scenario. After all, I was the only substitute striker in the 18-man squad at the time. "

"Ali was injured. Although the game time was running out, the substitution procedure had to be completed. Van Gaal could only replace me with the injured Ali."

"But what I didn't expect was that Van Gaal actually told me to go on the court to take the penalty kick created by Ali."

"Can you imagine how I felt at the time?"

"When I heard Van Gaal's words, my head was confused. I was afraid that I was dreaming. I secretly pinched my leg meat with my hand. It was very painful, which proved that I was not dreaming. "

"At that time, I had only one thought, that is, I must agree and then kick the ball in. "
