Chapter 45

Although the game against the youth team of De Gastrup went through a process of twists and turns, with the team leading, being tied, falling behind, then being tied again, and then overtaking again, the Alkmaar youth team won in the end.

Especially the performance of Jiang Xiaolin, who Van Gaal paid close attention to, scored twice in 45 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the first game, which couldn't be more perfect.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin's other shortcomings are slightly improved, Jiang Xiaolin may not have to wait until next season to be promoted to the first team to participate in the Eredivisie game, which will relieve the pressure on Van Gaal.

Therefore, Crofts was in a good mood. He praised all the players in the locker room, and then announced that the next day would be a holiday, and everyone would return to the team to resume daily training on the third day, Monday.

Then, the players took a shower, changed clothes and went home.

The facilities in the youth team's locker room are not as good as those of the first team. They are relatively simple, but there are still some, which is also for the convenience of the players to take a shower and change clothes after playing football.

Otherwise, how can you go home after playing football, sweaty and dirty?

After Crofts and other coaches left, Jiang Xiaolin took advantage of the time when no one was disturbing him to open the Green God system interface, enter the package, open the "Level Gift Pack (Level 8)", and draw skills.

To Jiang Xiaolin's delight, this time he was very lucky, and the skill he drew was exactly the dribbling he needed, that is, the ability to control the ball within the controllable range around him during the movement and try not to be intercepted by others.

This skill came too timely.

After opening the new skill, Jiang Xiaolin quickly exited the package and entered the system interface to see how much his dribbling attribute was.

As a result, Jiang Xiaolin found that his dribbling attribute was indeed a bit low, only 9 points. No wonder he always couldn't hold the ball and was easily intercepted by the opponent.

Now that this skill has been opened, Jiang Xiaolin is not afraid.

Sometimes, the frontcourt teammates don't have to pass the ball to him, but under the collective pressure of the opponent, there is no other place to pass the ball except here, so they have no choice but to pass the ball to him for transfer.

Jiang Xiaolin's stopping, dribbling, and ball control are not good. Except for the excellent opportunity to shoot directly without stopping the ball, it is easy to be intercepted by the opponent for counterattack when receiving the pass from teammates.

However, the passing route of teammates and Jiang Xiaolin's running are perfectly matched together, and there are generally few excellent opportunities for direct shooting without stopping the ball. Most of the time, it is still necessary to stop the ball, dribble a few steps, and make a slight adjustment before shooting.

Jiang Xiaolin used to have problems with the adjustment before shooting or when he was a transfer station for the team.

Now, the two skills of stopping and dribbling are turned on. As long as the attribute values ​​of these two skills are slowly added, Jiang Xiaolin can stop the ball passed by teammates and dribble a few steps to adjust, and he will have more opportunities and space for shooting.

After the upgrade, there was an upgrade reward of 10 attribute points. With the original balance, Jiang Xiaolin now has 20 attribute points.

So Jiang Xiaolin added one point to each of the two skills of ball stopping and dribbling, and the attribute value of ball stopping became 13, and the attribute value of dribbling became 10.

Then, thinking that he would have to go all out to strive for a higher rating in every training and competition in order to obtain the system's rating coefficient in the future, Jiang Xiaolin spent another 5 attribute points to increase his physical strength from 19 to 20, and the attribute point balance was 13.

In this way, at least Jiang Xiaolin has no worries about physical strength during training and competition, and can spend it at will.

After completing all operations, Jiang Xiaolin's data attributes changed to:

Host: Jiang Xiaolin

Nationality: China

Age: 16 years old

Height: 183cm

Weight: 81kg

Level: 8

Experience: 3350/5000

Attribute points: 13

Club: Alkmaar (Netherlands)

Shooting: 20

Off-ball running: 20

Tackle: 3

Heading: 20

Stamina: 20

Acceleration: 20

Stop: 13

Dribbling: 10

Scorpion tail: 20

…

In addition to the increase in physical and technical attributes, Jiang Xiaolin unexpectedly found that his height increased by 1cm and his weight increased by 1kg.

In the future, he will have an advantage in the penalty area when competing for headers.

This made Jiang Xiaolin very happy. It seems that the nutritious meals provided by the club are good for growing up.

Although the nutritious meals don't taste very good, Jiang Xiaolin doesn't care.

Because of his family conditions, he has never enjoyed any delicious meals. Although the club's nutritious meals don't taste very good, they are not completely difficult to swallow.

Since it is a good thing, naturallyI have to keep going.

However, it won't work today.

Although the base canteen can still provide nutritious dinner for athletes today, because Song Zhicheng and others came from afar to cheer him up, and Jiang Xiaolin performed so well, he naturally had to treat everyone.

So after taking a shower and changing clothes, Jiang Xiaolin did not go to the base canteen, but found a restaurant outside to celebrate with Song Zhicheng and other Chinese compatriots.

Jiang Xiaolin couldn't drink alcohol, so he used drinks instead to thank everyone for their concern and support for him.

He was sincere.

Since Jiang Xiaolin was brought back to Chinatown by Song Zhicheng, these overseas compatriots in Chinatown have been taking good care of him.

When he failed to try out with Ajax and other teams in the early stage and Pulmès didn't score for two months, no one said anything, and most of them were encouraging.

These overseas compatriots are really united.

If it weren't for everyone's constant encouragement, Jiang Xiaolin would have given up long ago and worked as a waiter in the restaurant. He might not have been possessed by the God of Green System, and would have been just like everyone else in his life.

It was the care and encouragement of these Chinese compatriots in Chinatown that prevented Jiang Xiaolin from completely collapsing despite constant setbacks. He gritted his teeth and persevered, and then ushered in a turning point in his life.

Jiang Xiaolin is very grateful to everyone.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin's performance today also made Song Zhicheng and others very excited, and they felt that their early care and encouragement for Jiang Xiaolin were worth it.

They were also proud of Jiang Xiaolin's performance.

Everyone celebrated for more than two hours before finishing the meal and going home.

After watching Song Zhicheng and others drive away, Jiang Xiaolin returned to his rented house alone, and first called his mother to tell her the good news that he came on as a substitute in the youth team's official match today and scored two goals.

Jiang Liantao was very happy, but she still reminded her son on the phone to cherish the hard-won opportunity, continue to work hard, gain a firm foothold, and strive to become a main player as soon as possible.
