Chapter 315

In fact, long before the hospital held a press conference, the news that Jiang Xiaolin was seriously injured by Garay and might end his career had spread all over the world.

The Olympic final was undoubtedly the most watched game in the Olympic football match in the world, with more viewers than the semi-final match between Argentina and Brazil.

Although there were many Chinese and overseas Chinese at home and abroad, the significance of the final itself was also the main reason for attracting global audiences to watch the live broadcast.

Therefore, many people witnessed the miracle of Jiang Xiaolin's outstanding performance in the final, which helped the Chinese team lead Argentina 2-1.

Moreover, when Jiang Xiaolin attacked for the last time, he had formed a single knife meeting, and was about to score the third goal with a high probability, helping the Chinese team to lock in the victory, and personally stood on the podium to receive the Olympic gold medal representing the champion, and witnessed the rise of his country's flag and the playing of the national anthem.

And Garay's shovel from behind was undoubtedly witnessed by fans all over the world.

The deformation of Jiang Xiaolin's calf was also noticed by most people.

There is no doubt that this was a serious violation of sports ethics. As many commentators said, this is not a game, this is intentional injury.

Moreover, the consequences are serious.

Even though the preliminary examination results of the hospital have not yet come out, many reporters can see that Jiang Xiaolin's calf was broken by Gare's shovel just by replaying the foul footage.

Before the hospital's press conference began, many media had already reported the news of the Chinese team's upset victory while reporting that Jiang Xiaolin was seriously injured and might have a fracture and ruin his career.

At this time, the hospital's press conference undoubtedly completely determined this speculation and comment.

Jiang Xiaolin did have a fracture.

The expert also said in person that Jiang Xiaolin would most likely ruin his career.

If it is said that before Jiang Xiaolin was injured by the shovel, most fans in the world still prefer the technical team Argentina, after all, there are too many stars and technical play, which is much more beautiful than the Chinese team's defensive counterattack.

Riquelme, Messi, Di Maria, Aguero, etc., all have many fans.

However, when Jiang Xiaolin was injured by the shovel, the image of the Argentine collapsed.

Garay's serious foul was collectively rejected by professional players around the world and collectively condemned by the media and fans.

Because it is easy for everyone to recall the past of football geniuses such as Van Basten and Ronaldo who were constantly injured and ruined their careers.

These football geniuses should have achieved greater greatness, but they retired early due to injuries, which is a pity.

Jiang Xiaolin may not have received much attention in the Eredivisie before, and he rose too quickly. Except for professionals, he is not well-known among ordinary foreign fans.

Only some senior fans know that there is a 16- or 17-year-old demon in the Eredivisie who rushed to the top three scorers in less than half a season.

But the Olympics are the focus of the world.

Especially the finals related to the ownership of the gold medal, which are broadcast live around the world and attract super high attention.

As a result, in such a final, everyone learned from the commentator that Jiang Xiaolin had scored 15 goals in 5 games before this game, the first in history.

Secondly, Jiang Xiaolin scored two goals in this game, and the total number of goals has risen to 17.

Many commentators and guest commentators have commented that Jiang Xiaolin is the striker with the highest goal efficiency in today's football world, and he will most likely grow into a world-class superstar in the future.

However, such a genius was kicked by Garay and his calf was broken and he was sent to the hospital.

At that moment, countless people were stunned, and countless fans couldn't help but think of former superstars such as Van Basten and Ronaldo who were plagued by injuries.

Many people sympathized with Jiang Xiaolin, and naturally they were disgusted by Garay's malicious foul.

After the hospital's press conference was held, Jiang Xiaolin's preliminary examination results came out, and the media reported and reprinted a lot of reports, fans in China and other countries in the world were all tempted to denounce Garay.

"Too bad, Garay's foul must be severely punished!"

"When I watched the live broadcast, I felt that Jiang Xiaolin's calf was broken by a tackle. Sure enough, now the test results are out, Jiang Xiaolin really has a fracture."

"Garay is not playing, he is killing!"

"So sad! 17 goals in 6 games, such a goal efficiency is simply unheard of! Heading, grabbing points, long shots, free kicks, hook shots, etc., Jiang Xiaolin's goal-scoring methods are simply varied and comprehensive. Such a genius may have his career ruined by Garay's kick. I really feel so sad."

"Yes! I thought of Van Basten and Ronaldo, II feel like Jiang Xiaolin might be ruined by Gare!"

"It's not possible, it's certain! With such a serious injury, how can he recover to his peak state?"

"Not necessarily, Jiang Xiaolin is still young, only 17 years old, and maybe his physical recovery is much better than that of older players."

"We can only hope so! "

Of course, these are just foreign fans standing in a neutral position to defend Jiang Xiaolin.

As for Chinese fans, they are furious.

Countless people denounced Garay online, and some fans even rushed to the hotel where Argentina stayed in the Olympic Village to denounce and demand that Argentina deal with Garay.

Some fans also called the Olympic Committee or FIFA directly, asking the Olympic Committee or FIFA to give an explanation.

This is of course as it should be.

After the hospital held a press conference, the Olympic Committee and FIFA also held press conferences in the afternoon.

The Olympic Committee condemned Garay's behavior, and FIFA said it would verify Garay's foul and then impose severe punishment to warn all players that the game is a game, and such dangerous and malicious fouls should not be used in the game, causing Physical harm to the opposing players.

The Argentine Olympic team also held a press conference, and Garay personally attended and confessed his behavior and apologized to Jiang Xiaolin.

However, Garay's apology was not forgiven by the media and fans.

If such a serious foul can be solved with an apology, I am afraid that everyone will be able to maliciously hurt others unscrupulously in the future.

Of course, in addition to the indignation of the media and fans, there is another group of people who are very concerned about Jiang Xiaolin's injury: that is, the scouts, coaches and managers of the major European giants!

Originally, Jiang Xiaolin's rapid rise in the Eredivisie has attracted the attention of many giants.

Coupled with his amazing performance in the Olympics, many giants have decided to introduce Jiang Xiaolin immediately after the Olympics, regardless of Jiang Xiaolin. How high a salary is required.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin's penalty is very low and can be ignored.

As for the rest, as long as Jiang Xiaolin's salary, signing fee, and agent's commission are settled, the possibility of introducing Jiang Xiaolin is very high.

Baker had been in contact with these giants, following Jiang Xiaolin's intention, using these giants to put pressure on Alkmaar to renew the contract with Alkmaar.

Who would have thought that Jiang Xiaolin would suffer such a serious injury in the final, and most of the giants immediately disappeared.

The few contacts also told Baker that they would see Jiang Xiaolin's surgery and postoperative recovery. Anyway, they were unlikely to introduce Jiang Xiaolin this summer.

At this time, Baker wished that time could go back and get Jiang Xiaolin to renew his contract or transfer to other clubs before the Olympics. It's too late to regret now. In addition to these wealthy clubs losing interest in introducing Jiang Xiaolin, he estimated that the contract renewal with Alkmaar would also fall into a very passive situation. Jiang Xiaolin could have asked for a high-priced contract renewal clause, but with such a serious injury, it is estimated that it would be difficult. Whether Alkmaar is willing to renew the contract with Jiang Xiaolin is a question. As a result, when Baker was worried about Jiang Xiaolin's surgical treatment and guessing Alkmaar's attitude, Alkmaar actually held a press conference, strongly condemning Gare's bad foul and throwing an olive branch to Jiang Xiaolin. According to Alkmaar's general manager Anselm, Alkmaar is Jiang Xiaolin's first professional club and has always been Jiang Xiaolin's strongest backing. If the Chinese Football Committee cannot afford Jiang Xiaolin's treatment and rehabilitation expenses, they are willing to bear it. Moreover, they will immediately send a negotiation team to Beijing to negotiate with Jiang Xiaolin's agent on the contract renewal, hoping to keep Jiang Xiaolin in Alkmaar. Even if Jiang Xiaolin is seriously injured and may not be able to play football in the future, they will sign a contract extension with Jiang Xiaolin with the greatest sincerity.

If Jiang Xiaolin really cannot play football in the future, he will become a member of the Alkmaar coaching staff, do auxiliary work, and help Alkmaar train the team's forwards.

In addition, Alkmaar will also hire Jiang Xiaolin as the club's image ambassador and become the club's external publicity sign.

Alkmaar's move shocked the world of football and instantly moved all Chinese media and fans.

Countless people expressed their gratitude to Alkmaar on the Internet, thanking the club for not abandoning Jiang Xiaolin when Jiang Xiaolin was so difficult, but instead extending an olive branch to Jiang Xiaolin.

What is this?

This is a friend in need!

Only Baker vaguely guessed itThe reason why the club did this: profit!

It is almost useless for other clubs to introduce Jiang Xiaolin, and there is no reason for it.

But Alkmaar is different. They are Jiang Xiaolin's contracted club and have gained considerable popularity in China with Jiang Xiaolin's rise.

As long as the contract with Jiang Xiaolin is successfully renewed, even if Jiang Xiaolin can't play football in the future, Jiang Xiaolin will become a national hero of Chinese football with his performance in this Olympics.

Alkmaar's gesture at this time will undoubtedly win great favor among the Chinese media and fan groups.

In the future, whether Alkmaar comes to China to play commercial games, endorse Chinese products, or sell genuine peripherals such as jerseys and shoes to China, it will definitely get the support of a large number of Jiang Xiaolin fans.

And in terms of image, Alkmaar will become very positive, which will also increase the attractiveness of this small Dutch team to other players in the future.

This is a very good crisis public relations, and Alkmaar has picked up a bargain.

However, even if he sees through the other party's purpose, Baker can't refuse the other party's kindness.

Because Jiang Xiaolin, who was injured at this time, was no longer wanted by other clubs and was no longer a hot commodity.

Alkmaar was willing to renew the contract with Jiang Xiaolin and increase the salary level, which was very considerate. Baker and Jiang Xiaolin could not ask for more.

In fact, as soon as Jiang Xiaolin was injured, the top management of Alkmaar was divided into two factions.

The boss and the general manager thought that Jiang Xiaolin's serious injury would most likely ruin his career and he would have no use value.

Even if they did not terminate the contract with Jiang Xiaolin or renew his contract, they could just use the previous salary to pay off the remaining contract of Jiang Xiaolin, and that would be the end of the matter.

But Van Gaal disagreed.

He believed that Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness was very good and he would definitely be able to return to his peak.

Van Gaal did not know that Jiang Xiaolin had a system and that the system wanted Jiang Xiaolin to stay in Alkmaar. He always believed that Jiang Xiaolin was more likely to be poached by the giants of the five major leagues this summer.

Therefore, he was actually always worried.

If it weren't for this injury, the club would have found it difficult to keep Jiang Xiaolin. Instead, it was Jiang Xiaolin's injury that made Van Gaal see the possibility of keeping Jiang Xiaolin.

At this time, other giants would definitely give up the idea of ​​introducing Jiang Xiaolin and wait and see.

If the club extends an olive branch at this time, it will definitely be able to successfully renew the contract with Jiang Xiaolin.

Because of the current special situation, the club does not need to increase Jiang Xiaolin's salary to a very high level to get a new contract and re-sign the penalty.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin cannot recover to his peak in the future, or even cannot play football directly, it is also good to use his skills as a coach and improve the shooting skills of young players.

What's more, Jiang Xiaolin has now become an Olympic hero in China, and the huge Chinese market behind him is also a place where Alkmaar can make money.

Even if the contract with Jiang Xiaolin is lost, the club will not lose too much, and it can also gain the favor of many neutral fans, which will also be of great benefit to the club's future signings.

But what if Jiang Xiaolin can recover to his peak?

Then Alkmaar will make a lot of money.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin cannot be retained, the re-signed contract and liquidated damages will surely allow Alkmaar to make a fortune when Jiang Xiaolin transfers in the future, instead of being passive like now.

In fact, Alkmaar is gambling with a small cost, betting that Jiang Xiaolin can recover to his peak state before the injury.

Because there is the Chinese market behind Jiang Xiaolin to make money, the cost of renewing Jiang Xiaolin's contract is not high.

Van Gaal's remarks made the club owner and general manager hesitate.

Then they found the team doctor Horatio and Alfred, who specializes in studying Jiang Xiaolin, to predict Jiang Xiaolin's recovery from injury.
