Chapter 76

Alkmaar's six consecutive defeats caused quite a stir in the Dutch football world.

There is nothing strange about Alkmaar's six consecutive defeats. It is just a small team. The last time it won the Eredivisie championship was 27 years ago in 1981, and that was the only top league championship in Alkmaar's history.

The reason for the sensation is naturally because Alkmaar's head coach is Van Gaal.

It is big news that the team coached by the famous coach Van Gaal has suffered six consecutive defeats.

It is the nature of most people to follow the red and the white. The fall of a famous coach like Van Gaal will naturally attract more attention and heated discussions. Countless Dutch people discuss Van Gaal's six consecutive defeats with a mentality of watching a joke.

However, in China, not many people watch Van Gaal's jokes.

One is that the Netherlands is too far away from China, and the other is Jiang Xiaolin.

Everyone is still looking forward to Van Gaal taking care of his compatriot Jiang Xiaolin!

Seeing that Van Gaal lost consecutive games in the first team and the front line was weak, many Chinese fans were looking forward to Van Gaal's sudden inspiration one day to promote Jiang Xiaolin, who had scored goals in the youth team, to the first team!

After the youth team game on Saturday, the media reports on Sunday only mentioned Jiang Xiaolin's hat trick + 1 assist, without mentioning Van Gaal.

Although the fans were still sincerely happy for Jiang Xiaolin's achievements in the youth team, they were still a little disappointed.

Of course, everyone wanted to see Jiang Xiaolin promoted to the first team and conquer the Dutch league.

After the Dutch league game on Sunday, some media mentioned that Alkmaar suffered a six-game losing streak. This was information translated from the Dutch league media reports, but no media mentioned Jiang Xiaolin.

Just when everyone was quite disappointed, the latest issue of Sports Weekly on Monday, February 11, caused quite a stir among fans across the country with its headline on the front page: "Jiang Xiaolin transferred to the first team of the Dutch Eredivisie Alkmaar!"

As long as fans who know Jiang Xiaolin see this headline, they will naturally be brightened up, and immediately pay for the newspaper, and then turn to the second page to read the detailed report.

According to the report, Peng Zhijie, a special correspondent of Sports Weekly in the Netherlands, followed Alkmaar to Nijmegen yesterday. After the match between Alkmaar and Nijmegen, Peng Zhijie interviewed Alkmaar head coach Van Gaal.

In the interview, the reporter asked a lot of questions about Jiang Xiaolin, and Van Gaal gave positive praise, saying that Jiang Xiaolin was one of the most talented forwards he had ever seen, and he believed that Jiang Xiaolin would definitely have a bright future.

Then, Van Gaal told the reporter affirmatively that in view of Jiang Xiaolin's excellent performance of scoring 13 goals and 2 assists in 4 games in the youth team, he decided to transfer Jiang Xiaolin to the first team and train with the first team.

If Jiang Xiaolin can adapt to the training of the first team quickly, he will arrange for Jiang Xiaolin to play in the Eredivisie in the second half of the season if there is a suitable opportunity.

Van Gaal naturally cannot say that Jiang Xiaolin will definitely play in the Eredivisie and will be able to play soon, so there are reservations in his words.

But the most important content is to transfer Jiang Xiaolin to the first team, which is already certain.

The Alkmaar first team will have a day off after the away game and start training on Tuesday.

At that time, Jiang Xiaolin will report to the first team training base and participate in daily training with the first team players.

This is very exciting.

There are too few Chinese players studying abroad.

If domestic football is doing well, perhaps everyone will not care. The key is that domestic football, whether in the league or the national team, is not doing well, and fans can only focus their expectations on the players studying abroad.

However, there are not many players studying abroad, only Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, and Yu Hai.

Among them, Yu Hai is still a long-term bench player in the Eredivisie and it is difficult for him to get a chance to play.

But even so, domestic media often report on Yu Hai. Occasionally, when he comes on as a substitute, the media will collectively climax and report it extensively, and fans will also discuss it for several days.

It can be seen how precious these overseas players are in the hearts of Chinese media and fans.

When Jiang Xiaolin signed with Alkmaar before, everyone was also excited, but then Jiang Xiaolin was transferred to the youth team, which made everyone a little disappointed.

Although Jiang Xiaolin performed well in the youth team and scored goals one after another, the youth team games are always youth team games, not even professional games, and everyone is always a little regretful.

Now, it suddenly broke out that Jiang Xiaolin is about to be transferred to the first team, and the news was confirmed by Alkmaar head coach Van Gaal himself, which naturally immediately detonated the domestic media and fan circle.

Online media is the fastest to react and reprint it immediately.

FansThey also flocked to Jiang Xiaolin's forum, constantly posting to congratulate Jiang Xiaolin on his transfer to the first team, which was like a celebration for all.

For example, the earliest post had more than 100 replies in less than half an hour, and new fans continued to pour in.

First floor: "Really? That's great, Jiang Xiaolin is awesome!"

Second floor: "Wow, how come it was so sudden?"

Third floor: "He has only been in the youth team for a month, and he has been transferred to the first team? Jiang Xiaolin is awesome!"

Fourth floor: "I thought Jiang Xiaolin had to stay in the youth team for at least half a season before he had a chance to be transferred to the first team next season!"

Fifth floor: "Half a season? You know, Jiang Xiaolin is only 1 6 years old, I thought he would stay in the youth team for two or three years. It would be good if he could be transferred to the first team and play in the Eredivisie before the age of 20. "

Sixth floor: "What the above said is right! Jiang Xiaolin is only 16 years old and has been transferred to the first team. If he really plays in the Eredivisie this season, will he become the youngest player to appear in the Eredivisie?"

Seventh floor: "Not sure, it is entirely possible!"

Eighth floor: "If he really created the record of the youngest player to appear in the Eredivisie, it would be even more awesome!"

...

In addition to the forum, Jiang Xiaolin's Xinglang blog was also flooded with fans, and congratulatory speeches were everywhere.

As major online media successively reprinted the news of "Sports Weekly", the comment area under these news was also lively. More and more fans knew that Jiang Xiaolin was transferred to the first team of Alkmaar, and the news spread more and more.

Jiang Xiaolin is no longer an ordinary amateur player or youth team player, but a professional player in the Eredivisie, a world-famous star production base.

In the future, Jiang Xiaolin's journey in the Eredivisie will surely attract the attention of countless domestic media and fans.
