Chapter 49
The match between the Alkmaar youth team and the first team was on the same day, Saturday, but the youth team started a few hours later than the first team.
The first team played in the afternoon, while the youth team played in the evening.
Therefore, before the game started, the youth team players knew that the first team had lost 0-3 again and suffered four consecutive defeats.
This continuous defeat was really a bit of a blow to morale.
Even though the results of the first team had little to do with the youth team, as a member of the Alkmaar club, everyone did not want to see the first team lose like this.
The teammates sighed and talked in the locker room, but Jiang Xiaolin did not participate.
Because, in the upcoming Heqingjia game, the opponent of the Alkmaar youth team is the Ajax youth team, and Jiang Xiaolin is the starting striker.
At the beginning, the first team that Song Zhicheng took Jiang Xiaolin to try out was the Ajax youth team.
However, he only passed the physical test of the Ajax U19 youth team at that time, and then the training match test was arranged for the U11. As a result, he was kicked out before he even passed the U11 test.
Jiang Xiaolin had no complaints about being eliminated due to lack of strength, but he remembered clearly the faces and remarks of some coaches and players who discriminated against him during his elimination.
Among them, it was not only the ridicule of Jiang Xiaolin's technical strength, but also the discrimination of some people against Jiang Xiaolin's skin color and nationality.
This touched the bottom line.
As an individual, Jiang Xiaolin had no complaints about being eliminated because of lack of strength. He still maintained a respectful attitude towards Ajax, a European giant and triple crown team.
But as a Chinese, Jiang Xiaolin could not tolerate the suspected racial discrimination of a few coaches and players of the Ajax youth team.
Today, they must be taught a big lesson in the game.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin was not interested in participating in the discussion of the first team's four consecutive defeats.
He called up the system menu in his mind, and increased the ball stopping from 13 points to 14, and the dribbling from 10 points to 11, leaving 11 attribute points remaining.
The ball stopping attribute of 14 points is almost at the level of an ordinary professional player.
For ordinary ground passes, Jiang Xiaolin will no longer be amateurish and stop two or three meters away.
Then, it is to adjust his mood, make himself full of fighting spirit, and prepare for the game.
10 minutes before the start of the game, head coach Crofts entered the locker room and emphasized again the tactics of today's game, which is to use Jiang Xiaolin as the end point of the attack and attack with all his strength.
Crofts' tactics today are to use Jiang Xiaolin, who has the most exquisite shooting skills, as the core to bombard the Ajax youth team and score as many goals as possible.
In order to achieve the effect of the crazy attack, Crofts set up a 433 offensive formation, and the starting lineup was almost entirely offensive players.
The two full-backs are good at assisting, and the defensive midfielder is also good at both offense and defense, not to mention the two front midfielders and forwards.
A more detailed formation classification, this should be a 4123 crazy attack formation.
Except for the two central defenders who are dedicated to defense, the others basically ignore defense.
The goal of the Alkmaar Youth Team today is to attack more, score more goals, and avenge the first team.
Finally, before going on the field, Crofts said seriously again:
"The first league match of the first team in the second half of the season was a 1-6 defeat to Ajax. This is a shame for the Alkmaar first team and a shame for all Alkmaar players, including you."
"So, your task today is to attack, attack, and attack again, and score as many goals as you can."
"After the last league match and the two weeks of joint training, I believe everyone has a clear understanding of Jiang's shooting skills. I hope everyone will work together to create more shooting opportunities for Jiang and let Jiang send the ball into the Ajax goal."
"Our goal is..."
The players shouted in unison: "Big win! Big win! Big win!"
Crofts nodded and said: "Okay, let's go!"
Then, Captain Douglas led his teammates to high-five Crofts one by one and left the locker room, ready to go on the field.
Jiang Xiaolin was the last player to start. After he high-fived Crofts, Crofts said to him alone: "Jiang, it's up to you today!"
Jiang Xiaolin nodded vigorously.
No matter from the perspective of personal honor or the club, he had enough fighting spirit to attack the goal of the Ajax Youth Team today.
His blood was boiling, his heart was burning, and he couldn't wait!
...
Outside, on the single-sided simple stand beside the Ajax U19 training ground, Peng Zhijie, Song Zhicheng and Jiang Xiaolin wereLin's cheering group was also waiting excitedly.
Vitesse's game will not start until tomorrow afternoon, so this time Peng Zhijie rushed to Amsterdam to attend the game in person and collect news about Jiang Xiaolin's game.
He brought a professional camera to record the entire process of the game.
Although it was at night, the light was not good, and the angle was definitely not as good as the live broadcast of the professional league, but it was better than nothing.
There are many fans in China waiting to see Jiang Xiaolin's first game video!
If the footage of Jiang Xiaolin's goal was recorded, it is entirely possible to sell it to the sports channel of the national television station or Qianzhou Satellite TV in Jiang Xiaolin's hometown.
Now that domestic football is in a mess, any goal scored by an overseas player may be on TV news, even if it is just a youth team game.
Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin's opponent in this game is also famous enough.
The Ajax youth team is a well-known existence in the world football youth training circle, not to mention Jiang Xiaolin's experience of being rejected in the Ajax youth training camp.
As long as Jiang Xiaolin can score a goal today and prove that Ajax's original vision failed, Peng Zhijie will be sure to let Jiang Xiaolin appear on the front page of Sports Weekly.
In addition, when they called each other before, Jiang Xiaolin mentioned that he hoped he could help take more photos and even record videos to provide suggestions to domestic fans, so Peng Zhijie made all preparations.
As the game time approached, Peng Zhijie had already turned on the camera and pointed it at the exit of the visiting team's locker room.
Song Zhicheng and other cheering groups in Chinatown also took out national flags and banners to cheer for Jiang Xiaolin. The banner read: "Come on, Jiang Xiaolin!"
Although the team was playing away, there were more compatriots cheering for Jiang Xiaolin than at home last time. After all, Chinatown is in Amsterdam.
Of course, the more important thing is that Jiang Xiaolin scored two goals in 45 minutes as a substitute in the last game, which greatly increased the confidence of the Chinese compatriots in Chinatown. This time, the number of people who came to the scene to cheer for Jiang Xiaolin was not just the few who went to Alkmaar last time, but more than 20.
Not only that, there were also several local Chinese students in Amsterdam who were attracted by the news about Jiang Xiaolin two weeks ago and came to the scene to cheer him on.
