Chapter 19

After Philip and Song Zhicheng left, Van Gaal said to Jiang Xiaolin: "Jiang, you join the team and train with everyone in the next few days."

Jiang Xiaolin responded and walked to the edge of the second row and stood.

The players looked at Jiang Xiaolin and were a little curious. They couldn't help but want to discuss and mutter.

However, Van Gaal didn't give everyone time to discuss. Instead, he clapped his hands immediately, attracted everyone's attention and said:

"Today is the first day of training after the New Year. I shouldn't say these disappointing words. But I can't help it."

"Everyone knows that our performance in the first half of the season was very bad. Since the second round of the league, we have never entered the top five in the standings. The lowest ranking was 12th, not far from the relegation zone."

"The UEFA Cup was also eliminated in the group stage and failed to enter the knockout stage."

"You know, we were the top three teams in the Eredivisie in the previous seasons. Why is it that this season Why would it be like this? "

"I admit that after Avilas left, our forward attack power was affected to a certain extent, but this is not a reason for everyone to give up. Did you all rely on Avilas to play in the Eredivisie? "

No one could admit this, and several people immediately answered: "No!"

Van Gaal frowned and said: "What about the others? Answer me together, louder!"

This time it was neat, all the players shouted together: "No!"

Although Jiang Xiaolin had just come for a trial and had not officially joined Alkmaar, he had already regarded himself as a member of Alkmaar in his heart.

Hearing Van Gaal say this, he also felt the same, and shouted "No" with everyone, which made many people look at him and nod in appreciation.

No matter what the result of the trial is, at least Jiang Xiaolin has made an attitude of advancing and retreating with everyone.

Van Gaal nodded and continued, "In that case, everyone should be mentally prepared for the second half of the season. We must redouble our efforts to catch up. Let Juncker arrange today's training content."

Junker is Van Gaal's assistant coach.

Originally, today was the first day of training after the winter break, and it should be mainly restorative training. The players should stretch their muscles and recover their physical condition, and not do any overly intense training.

But the team's performance was too poor and the situation was too serious, so there was no time to waste slowly. The coaching staff decided to conduct formal training from the first day.

Of course, there are still no projects with too high intensity. No matter how anxious you are, you can't train the players to get injured.

For example, there is no team training match today.

Basically, it focuses on physical fitness, agility, coordination, dribbling, stopping, and passing training.

After Juncker arranged today's project, before the training started, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly heard the electronic sound of the system in his mind, and the system issued the third task to Jiang Xiaolin.

Mission 3: Sign with Alkmaar

Mission requirements: Pass the trial and sign a professional contract with Alkmaar.

Reward: 2000 experience points + Scorpion Tail (special skill)

Experience points are nothing, and Scorpion Tail is also known, but what does special skill mean?

After Jiang Xiaolin asked the system in his mind, he got the answer: Special skills are specific skills that are different from general skills such as shooting, heading, and running without the ball.

In addition to Scorpion Tail, there are also fried meatballs, Marseille turn, Cruyff turn, etc. These are special skills, which are not available in the upgrade lottery system and can only be obtained by completing system tasks.

Scorpion Tail is the first special skill that Jiang Xiaolin can obtain by completing system tasks.

This skill is very ornamental and very practical.

When a teammate passes a low ball from the side and you run past, it is too late to head or shoot.

At this time, if you know Scorpion Tail, you can use your heel to knock the ball into the goal.

Of course, it is not enough to just know how to do it. You have to master it and turn it into a physical instinct.

Because professional games are about racing against time, opportunities are fleeting, and there is no time for your brain to think of the scorpion tail swing, pass the command to the body, and then make the action.

If that happens, the opportunity to score a goal with the scorpion tail swing is a fleeting opportunity in the penalty area, and you can only rely on physical instinct.

If this skill is not activated, no matter how Jiang Xiaolin practices, it will probably be difficult to master it.

Only after this special skill is activated and you can add points, you can use attribute points to fill it up. When this skill is applicable in the game in the future, the body will react naturally.

After reading the task introduction, the training began.Jiang Xiaolin's existing skills are basically aimed at how to shoot and score in the game.

Therefore, without a training match, Jiang Xiaolin's performance can be described as horrible.

In addition to his excellent physical fitness, Jiang Xiaolin's other technical training items are very amateurish.

In the afternoon, when practicing passing and receiving in groups, Jiang Xiaolin often missed the ball, either because of too much force or because of the wrong route; he also couldn't stop the ball passed by the opponent, often stopping two or three meters away.

Later, the players in his group were unwilling to practice with him.

"Coach, I don't want to practice passing and receiving with him. How can a person of this level appear in our training ground?" The players in Jiang Xiaolin's group ran to the assistant coach Junker and protested angrily.

He felt that practicing passing and receiving with Jiang Xiaolin would not only have no training effect, but also lower his level.

Jiang Xiaolin stood awkwardly in the distance, blushing and not daring to get close.

Junker was also shocked.

He was shocked that a person of Jiang Xiaolin's level could be favored by Philip and brought to the first-team training base.

"Did Philip accept a bribe from this kid?" Junker speculated maliciously.

With this level, he can't even get into the youth team, so he wants to get into the first team directly?

Dream on!

Apart from physical fitness, Jiang Xiaolin is useless in other aspects in Junker's eyes.

Commonly known as a big fool!

How can such a person drag down the training of his players here?

Therefore, Junker accepted the player's protest and stuffed him into another group to do three-person passing and receiving exercises.

As for Jiang Xiaolin, Junker let him play with the ball by himself, and the apparent reason was to let him train his sense of the ball.

There was no way, Jiang Xiaolin could only practice playing with the ball by himself.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin's playing with the ball was even more speechless.

With full-value shooting skills, Jiang Xiaolin's passing has improved somewhat, and in fact it is better than before, but it is not up to the level of professional players.

But his juggling was even more appalling than his passing.
