Chapter 11: I'm Going to See Your Game
At 4 p.m., head back to the training ground.
Link had already started to train in earnest.
Under-18 manager Enzo Ferenc was in the process of agreeing with Beria to start the game on Sunday 13 August.
"Enzo, the official game is completely different from the team training match, the first game of the new season of the U18 League, do you really want Lin to start directly?"
"Of course, you can't judge genius by common sense, especially since Sunday's opponent is only Heerenveen U18s, who finished 13th in the league last season. The strength is not up or down. Just take a look at Lin's performance. "
"I heard that Mr. Van der Sar is also coming to see this game?"
"yes, Edwin will come and see this game. Even though I already knew that Lin had a high status in Edwin's mind, I still didn't expect Edwin to ask to come and see this game. "
"Enzo! You say, did you put Lin in the starting line-up because Mr. Van der Sar was coming to watch the game? "
"Of course, there is a reason for that. But in other words, shouldn't a player like Edwin be given a chance? What's more, you can see it in the intra-team competition and daily training, he is really a genius! "
"It's true, geniuses are always privileged."
At this time, on the training ground, the players are running laps every day.
After 10 laps, the youth team members stood still and relaxed.
Cyno pressed his leg while chatting with Link.
"How's it going, Lin, do you have any confidence in the first league game of the weekend?"
"What faith?" Link looked at Cyno in surprise.
"Drinu, do you think I have a chance to play?"
"Of course, in the first round of the league, the opponent is only Heerenveen U18, they are not very strong, and you are one of the few new signings who joined us this summer, you can definitely play in the first round, maybe you may still start!"
Cyno said it with a smile at the end.
"It's possible to come off the bench, it's not realistic to start."
Obviously, neither man thinks Link will make the starting line-up.
"After all, this is my first serious competition, and I am still a little nervous when I say it."
"I've heard from the coach that you don't seem to have played in a professional club before?"
"yes, that's why I'm nervous."
"But, in other words, your talent must be enough to attract the club, otherwise, you are 15 years old, you have not participated in professional training before, and if you don't have enough talent, you will definitely not be looked at by Ajax."
Link looked at Cyno and said this with a serious face.
If I hadn't known that Cyno was like this, I couldn't help but wonder if this thing was mocking me.
However, Lin Kedi is not angry, after all, the other party is one of his few friends in U18.
"Speaking of which, it's true that all I have now is my talent. I don't have any extra either. "
"You had a good performance in the last training session and now you've been in the team for two weeks and your fitness has improved, right? When the first game comes, you have a good experience, although it is a youth team game, but it is definitely different from the kind of wild field. "
"How about the intra-team match?"
At this time, although Lin Kedi had some understanding of professional football, he was still a novice, so he actively absorbed all the knowledge related to professional football.
"It's so much stronger. Our youth team's intra-team match, although there is the word confrontation, but no one will give 100% strength to fight, maybe the first team will, but the youth team will definitely not, so in terms of intensity, it is definitely not comparable to the U18 league. After all, the U18 league is to train us on the one hand, and on the other hand, the U19 team and the second team will only promote us based on our performance in the league. So everyone is naturally very hardworking. After all, you have to enter the U19 team to participate in the Youth Champions League. "
When Cyno talks about the U19 and the Youth Champions League, he obviously looks very yearning.
When Lin Kedi was a fan before, he knew about the Youth Champions League, but he had never watched the game, and it seemed that it was quite difficult to find a live broadcast in China.
