Chapter 6

After walking 2 kilometers along the road outside the football field, Jiang Xiaolin returned to the restaurant where he worked in Chinatown and walked in through the back door.

The chefs, apprentices, handymen, etc. in the kitchen were mostly Chinese and were quite concerned about Jiang Xiaolin.

Seeing him come back, everyone greeted him and asked:

"Xiaolin is back?"

"How was the game today? Did you win?"

"Did you score a goal?"

Jiang Xiaolin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I finally scored the first goal today, and the team defeated Helleburg 2-0."

In fact, everyone didn't care whether Pulmez won or not. What everyone really cared about was whether Jiang Xiaolin scored or not.

Now hearing that Jiang Xiaolin finally scored a goal, everyone was very happy for him.

"Wow, I finally scored a goal."

"It proves that Xiaolin can still play football in the Netherlands!"

"Although it is an amateur league, it is also formal, not a friendly match."

"Keep going, Xiaolin, and be a big star in the future!"

After thanking everyone for their congratulations, Jiang Xiaolin went to the bathroom to take a shower, then threw his jersey into the washing machine, changed into a waiter's uniform and went to the office of the boss Song Zhicheng on the second floor of the front hall and knocked on the door.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

"Come in!"

Song Zhicheng's voice came from inside.

Jiang Xiaolin pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the boss sitting behind the desk, he called "Uncle Cheng".

Song Zhicheng is already in his 40s, and it is natural for the 16-year-old Jiang Xiaolin to call him uncle.

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin come in with a smile on his face, Song Zhicheng exclaimed and said with a smile: "Is the game over? What, did you score a goal today?"

You know, when Jiang Xiaolin usually performs poorly, he will change clothes and start working directly after the game, and will not take the initiative to report to his office.

Jiang Xiaolin scratched his head, nodded and smiled: "Yeah."

Song Zhicheng was very happy to hear that Jiang Xiaolin had really scored a goal. He stood up from behind his desk, asked Jiang Xiaolin to sit on the sofa, and sat opposite Jiang Xiaolin.

Then, Song Zhicheng said: "Tell me about today's game and how you scored a goal?"

Jiang Xiaolin gave a general account of today's game.

Of course, he couldn't say that he had a system, but he just said that he felt that he had opened his mind. When he saw the ball flying over, he raised his foot and shot it like a conditioned reflex.

Song Zhicheng really treated Jiang Xiaolin as his own son or nephew.

Hearing that Jiang Xiaolin finally scored his first goal in the Dutch amateur league, he felt very happy and praised Jiang Xiaolin a few words.

However, Song Zhicheng finally told Jiang Xiaolin that the level of the D-level league was too low, and asked Jiang Xiaolin to cheer up and continue to perform well to see if there is a chance to play in the professional league in the future.

Even He Bing is much higher than amateur D.

Jiang Xiaolin was confident about his career prospects, but he couldn't tell Song Zhicheng.

But he still remembered the new skills in his system.

So Jiang Xiaolin pretended to ask casually: "By the way, Uncle Cheng, I accidentally heard my teammates mention a word called running without the ball. What does it mean?"

Song Zhicheng smiled and said: "Running without the ball? It means running without holding the ball."

Jiang Xiaolin nodded and asked: "What is the use of this skill or ability? If the attribute is very high, is there anything outstanding?"

Song Zhicheng thought for a while and asked: "Do you know Inzaghi of AC Milan?"

Jiang Xiaolin nodded and said: "I know, in the Champions League final last season, it was Inzaghi's double goal that helped AC Milan defeat Liverpool and win the championship. The ball is very efficient. "

Song Zhicheng nodded and said: "Do you know how the media and fans evaluate him?"

Jiang Xiaolin said: "I know, many people say that he is a speculator and opportunist who lives on the offside line."

Song Zhicheng shook his head and smiled: "You are talking about old history. Now there are quite a few coaches, sports reporters, and senior fans who prefer to call Inzaghi a master of off-ball running."

Jiang Xiaolin was surprised and asked: "What do you mean?"

Song Zhicheng said: "This has to start with the role of off-ball running."

Then, with Song Zhicheng's patient explanation, Jiang Xiaolin finally understood what the so-called off-ball running is.

To sum it up in the simplest words, the striker's off-ball running ability is the ability to find gaps in the opponent's back line and achieve a fatal effect with one blow.

And Inzaghi, who is not very good in both physical and technical aspects, can achieve super high goal efficiency and today's achievements, mainly because of his excellent off-ball running ability.

This is the most representative figure of off-ball running.

Of course, there is also the king of the small penalty area, Van Nistelrooy, who is also excellent.Super strikers who run without the ball can always find gaps in the opponent's defense.

If the teammates with the ball cooperate well and understand each other, and can make a wonderful pass, they can easily score a goal without having to pass several people or shoot hard.

This way of scoring goals did not attract much attention in previous years. People preferred Ronaldo's goal of passing several people and riding alone for thousands of miles.

Now, Inzaghi's running without the ball has attracted the attention of professionals.

Therefore, Song Zhicheng predicts that because the defense of professional football teams is getting tighter and tighter, the future football world will pay more and more attention to the ability of strikers and even midfielders to run without the ball and have higher and higher requirements.

Players with higher ability to run without the ball will have stronger ability to find opportunities to break the defense, and will naturally become more and more popular.

After listening to Song Zhicheng's explanation, Jiang Xiaolin finally understood: the striker's off-ball running is the ability to find shooting opportunities, and his off-ball running is only 7. No wonder he had difficulty finding opportunities to receive the ball and shoot after the opponent paid more attention in the second half.

If the off-ball running is increased to a high level, will it be easier to run out of space and get a chance to shoot?

His shooting attribute is full, as long as there are enough opportunities, he will definitely score.

After leaving Song Zhicheng's office, Jiang Xiaolin found a gap to open the system and added all 12 attribute points to off-ball running.

Jiang Xiaolin's off-ball running attribute increased from 7 points to 19 points, which is close to the full value.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin's attribute points were all used up, not a single one left.

After completing the point addition operation, Jiang Xiaolin's basic information and skills became:

Host: Jiang Xiaolin

Age: 16 years old

Height: 182cm

Weight: 80kg

Level: 1

Off-ball movement: 19

In addition, the level gift package in Jiang Xiaolin's package also became level 2, and it needs to be upgraded to level 2 before it can be opened.

Seeing his shooting and off-ball movement attributes, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly became impatient and looked forward to the game next weekend.

He wanted to try whether his off-ball movement ability, which was close to the maximum value and added to 19 points, was effective and could help him achieve better performance and score more goals.
