Chapter 78

Near 9 o'clock, Van Gaal, Jonker and other coaching staff members appeared at the training ground, along with Alfred.

He will join the first-team coaching staff and continue to observe and study Jiang Xiaolin's training and competition.

The equipment manager began to move the football, triangle cones and other equipment used for today's training from the equipment room to the training ground.

Teammates who had changed into training clothes also came out of the locker room one after another and gathered in front of Van Gaal and other coaches. Jiang Xiaolin also ran over and stood quietly in the team after greeting the coaches.

At 9 o'clock, when everyone was present, Van Gaal called Jiang Xiaolin out first and officially announced to everyone: "This is Jiang Xiaolin from the youth team. He had a trial with everyone a month ago. I believe everyone has not forgotten it. In the future, Jiang will train and compete with you."

Captain Yarence took the lead in applauding and formally welcomed Jiang Xiaolin's joining.

In particular, substitute goalkeeper Sergio Romero, as Jiang Xiaolin's best friend in the first team, welcomed his arrival the most and applauded the most.

Jiang Xiaolin also said a few words, which roughly meant that he was a pure rookie who had never played a professional game, and asked his teammates to take care of him.

Then, he joined the team and started training.

The players of the first team had heard that Jiang Xiaolin had made rapid progress before, scoring 13 goals and 2 assists in 4 games in the youth team, which was very impressive, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

After the official start of training, everyone had a direct understanding of Jiang Xiaolin's progress in the past month.

There is nothing to say about shooting skills, which are as superb as in the trial training. But Jiang Xiaolin's progress in stopping the ball, dribbling, and passing compared to a month ago simply made his teammates dumbfounded.

As for his jumping ability, during the trial training a month ago, his jumping ability was similar to that of several central defenders in the team, but now he has become the highest jumper in the team. Even the central defender Ragnar Klavan, who is taller than him, cannot jump as high as Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin's progress is too scary.

According to their training and growth experience, the progress Jiang Xiaolin has made in the past month is equivalent to the progress others have made in two or three years of training.

This speed makes people stunned and far behind.

Moreover, jumping, a skill that relies more on physical talent, most people can't reach Jiang Xiaolin's current level no matter how many years they train.

The coaches and teammates who don't know that Jiang Xiaolin has a cheat can only attribute Jiang Xiaolin's progress to his genetic reversion talent.

This is what Alfred told everyone.

He believes that football is the sport that is closest to the hunting behavior of primitive people in modern sports, and Jiang Xiaolin's genetic reversion may be lucky to obtain the best hunting gene, which is reflected in football as the best football talent.

Alfred believes that Jiang Xiaolin is not without talent for many techniques, but he has not experienced formal professional training before, so he has not shown it and seems to be more amateur.

Now, after formal training, he has made rapid progress, just like his stop, dribbling and passing.

This has found a theoretical basis for Jiang Xiaolin's super talent and speed of improvement. No one doubts that Jiang Xiaolin has system plug-ins.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Jiang Xiaolin is naturally happy to see it happen. Since everyone is willing to think so, it is naturally the best not to doubt anything else.

In addition to the speed of improvement, Jiang Xiaolin's training attitude also surprised everyone.

On the first day, everyone can think that Jiang Xiaolin has just joined the first team and is fighting for performance and favor in front of the coach and teammates.

But in the following days, Jiang Xiaolin took training seriously every day with a 120% attitude and completed the tasks assigned by the coach 100%. Occasionally, when everyone was resting, Jiang Xiaolin was alone there practicing dribbling, deep-fried meatballs, etc.

This made his teammates have to admit it.

At the same time, everyone also thought they had found the reason for Jiang Xiaolin's rapid progress.

With his superb football talent and his serious training attitude, it is understandable that Jiang Xiaolin has made rapid progress.

Jiang Xiaolin's performance in training naturally caught the attention of the coaches.

Originally, Van Gaal did not plan to put Jiang Xiaolin on the Eredivisie roster so quickly.

But Jiang Xiaolin's strength and attitude in training were both top-notch in the team, leaving the other forwards far behind, which made people very entangled.

Can a Chinese teenager who is only 16 years old, who was still playing in the youth team a few days ago and has no professional game experience, really carry the banner of Alkmaar's attack on the Eredivisie?

You know, the audience in the Eredivisie stadium is often tens of thousands, and the fans of the youth team game with only a few hundred people can be ignored in front of the Eredivisie stadium.Ignore.

Moreover, the next game is still away, will Jiang Xiaolin be scared to death?

These are all issues that Van Gaal and the coaches need to consider carefully.

On February 16, Saturday, after the afternoon training, after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, everyone gathered again and waited for assistant coach Junker to announce the 18-man roster for tomorrow's away game against Groningen.

The roster was naturally determined by Van Gaal, but the announcement was made by the assistant coach.

It was also a coincidence that Jiang Xiaolin played against the Groningen youth team in the youth team last week.

If he is selected for the game roster this time, he will have to play against the Groningen first team.

It is indeed a rare coincidence that the Groningen first team and the youth team have played against each other for two consecutive weeks.

The premise is that Jiang Xiaolin must be selected for the game roster.

Standing on the edge of the second row of the assembled team, Jiang Xiaolin was also quite nervous.

He thought that his training attitude this week was fine, and his technical strength and condition were better than those of the other forwards.

In theory, he should be included in the squad, and the only flaws were his age and experience.

Whether Van Gaal had the guts to bring 16-year-old Jiang Xiaolin to the Eredivisie was still unknown.

But there was always hope.

After all, Van Gaal himself was a head coach who liked to promote young people, and he was well-known.

Moreover, Van Gaal would not transfer him to the first team to let him train with the first team until the end of the season.

He would always have to participate in the competition.

Otherwise, it would be better to let him stay in the youth team, at least there would be games against the Youth League!

No matter how low the level of the youth team's games was, they were real and effective, and the effect was better than the training of the first team, which could be clearly seen from the fact that the winning experience of a game in the Youth League was as high as 1,000 compared to the daily training experience of the first team of only 200.

So Jiang Xiaolin was still looking forward to it.
