Chapter 33

While Jiang Xiaolin and Song Zhicheng were buying items and decorating their new home, an online media that had participated in the Alkmaar press conference took the lead in publishing the latest news about Alkmaar in the afternoon.

The real-time nature of online media is undoubtedly highlighted.

"Alkmaar held a pre-match press conference, Van Gaal announced the starting lineup, and three new players made their debut! 》

"With the first league match after the winter break approaching, Alkmaar held a pre-match press conference one day in advance, and Van Gaal announced the starting lineup for Alkmaar's away game against Ajax tomorrow."

"Van Gaal said that the team lost too many points in the first half of the season, and Alkmaar will definitely catch up in the second half of the season and launch an impact on the top of the standings."

"At this press conference, Alkmaar also announced three new players introduced during the winter break and let the new players meet with reporters."

"The three new players are two defenders and a forward. The most eye-catching one is the Chinese forward Jiang."

"Jiang was born in a single-parent family in Qianzhou Province, a southwestern border province of China. He depends on his mother for life and is only 16 years old."

"According to him, he was Jiang was lured to the Netherlands by a scammer who claimed to be a scout. The scammer took away more than 5,000 euros that his mother had saved after working as a vegetable vendor in the farmers' market for ten years. "

"The scammer took Jiang to Amsterdam and disappeared without a trace after getting off the plane. Jiang had no money and could only wander around begging for a living."

"Fortunately, a few days later, Jiang met his Chinese compatriot, Song, the owner of a restaurant in Amsterdam Chinatown."

"Song took Jiang to his restaurant and settled him down, so that Jiang had a place to live and a job to earn money to survive."

"However, Jiang's football dream was not torn apart by the scammer."

"With the help of Song, Jiang first went to the Ajax youth team for a trial, hoping to enter the Ajax youth training camp."

"However, because Jiang had just arrived in the Netherlands, he did not speak the language and was unfamiliar with the environment. , and was nervous and did not perform well, so his trial at Ajax was a failure. He did not even score a goal against U11 kids in a training match. "

"After that, Song took Jiang to try out several high-level amateur clubs, but none of them passed. Finally, thanks to Song's personal friendship with Van der No, the head coach of the Class D amateur team Pulmes near Chinatown, he was able to enter Pulmes as an amateur part-time player. "

"But in the first two months at Pulmes, Jiang still did not perform well and did not score a goal. "

"In the third-to-last game after leaving Pulmes, Jiang still did not have any outstanding performance in the first half. "

"Until the halftime break, Van der No issued an ultimatum to Jiang, warning him that if he did not show a good performance, he would fire Jiang. "

"Or Perhaps it was Van der No's warning that worked, or perhaps Jiang had just adapted to the Dutch environment at that time and understood the trick of scoring goals. "

"In the second half of that game, Jiang scored his first goal in Pulmes."

"Then, in the penultimate game, Pulmes played away against Bonigom. The brother of Philip, a professional scout of Alkmaar, witnessed Jiang's hat trick performance on the spot. After the game, he immediately called Philip and tried his best to recommend Philip."

"Philip accepted his brother's recommendation and went to the scene to inspect Jiang in the last game before the winter break, when Pulmes played against Vlising at home. "

"Jiang did not disappoint Philip and his brother. Jiang performed a shocking miracle of five goals in a single game in that game, which completely impressed Philip."

"So, Philip invited Jiang to try out on behalf of Alkmaar."

"After the winter break, Jiang started training with the Alkmaar first team on January 5."

"This time, Jiang seized the opportunity. After a few days of trial training, Jiang once again scored five goals in a 60-minute team training match, which completely impressed the coaching staff and the club's top management, and he got his first professional football contract in his life. "

"This professional contract with Alkmaar allowed Jiang to complete the leap from a Class D amateur player to a professional player in the Eredivisie."

"This is a tortuous, bizarre, and inspiring dream-chasing story! Jiang's experience tells us that no matter what difficulties you encounter, no matter how bad your current situation is, as long as you don't give up your dreams and seize the opportunity when it comes, you will have a chance to succeed."

……

Alkmaar itself is a small club, but because of the joining of the famous coach Van Gaal, and Alkmaar ranked in the top three in the first two seasons, with good results, it has attracted a lot of attention in the Netherlands.

This news is another after the winter break.The pre-match press conference of the first league match was against Van Gaal's old club, the giant Ajax, so it was still very attractive for some fans to click in and read.

However, what everyone did not expect was that this report was actually a fake.

The title was the pre-match press conference, Van Gaal announced the starting lineup, but the content of the title was very small in the main text, and the reporter used a lot of space to introduce the 16-year-old Chinese striker Jiang who was introduced by Alkmaar during the winter break.

After reading it, many people said that this report was a headline party and was disgusting.

Moreover, they also expressed serious doubts about the Chinese playing football, thinking that Van Gaal must have made a mistake and Jiang Xiaolin would definitely not be able to play in the Eredivisie.

But there are more people who are attracted by Jiang Xiaolin's experience in the article, and think that this experience is indeed tortuous and inspiring.

Especially for some amateur players around 20 years old and their relatives and friends, Jiang Xiaolin's experience can make them feel more favorable.

Jiang Xiaolin's example tells them that as long as they stick to their dreams and keep working hard, amateur players can also attract the attention of professional clubs, and even sign with Eredivisie clubs and enter the Eredivisie directly.

Then, in the evening, more newspapers and TVs reported on Alkmaar's pre-match press conference.

Newspapers and TV are relatively serious, and the length and time are not so generous.

Therefore, the focus of newspaper and TV reports is indeed Van Gaal's pre-match press conference, and the reports on Jiang Xiaolin and the other two new defenders are not so detailed.

But even if it is brief, Jiang Xiaolin is the most eye-catching of the three new players.

Many people became interested in Jiang Xiaolin after reading newspapers and TV, and even went online to find Jiang Xiaolin's detailed experience story. After reading it, they had a good impression of Jiang Xiaolin and remembered this person slightly.

The complexity of the experience and the reports of these media made Jiang Xiaolin a little famous when he just joined Alkmaar and had not played a professional game yet.
