What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 37

"Frankie, I really envy you. You can go to the Europa League semi-finals with the first team."

"The opponent is Lyon in Ligue 3. The No.[-] in Ligue [-] this season is very strong. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to play."

"How come, the first team recruited you, you must be recruited where there is a need for you."

"It's also possible that they just treat me as a backhand."

"Don't think too much, when the time comes, I will cheer for you in front of the TV."

The Europa League semi-final first leg will be played on May 5.

Before that, the Ajax youth team had 2 games, and there are 4 games left in the season.

At present, the Ajax youth team ranks No.2 in the second division of the Netherlands, and there is only a gap of 1 points from the No.3 Emmen.And there will be a direct contest between the two teams in the last 4 rounds.

However, the Ajax youth team is quite indifferent to this from top to bottom.

Whoever let the Ajax youth team win the championship will not be able to advance, although Marcel will always say in the locker room that it is an honor to win the championship.

But the fact is that there is no honor to win the championship.

All the players in the Ajax youth team hope most not to win the Dutch second league championship, but to be promoted to the first team.

For the players of the second team, this is the most important thing in a season.

The fact that the first team needs a striker has also spread in the locker room of the second team in the past two weeks.

So several forwards of the team are already ready to move.

As for Lin Kedi, he has not been selected once, so he has no hope this time.

What's more, he didn't play once in the second team.May I ask in the history of the Ajax team, is there any second team who has not played once and was directly selected for the first team?

Lin Kedi actually checked this question, and the answer seems to be no.

It turns out that the Internet is not everything.

Therefore, Link was hostile to the news that spread wildly in the locker room, and he didn't care at all.

In addition, De Jong was promoted to the first team, and another good relationship, Aiting, was injured and recuperating, so now Lin Kedi has a relatively normal relationship with the rest of the team.

Lin Kedi naturally knew that he should avoid such things as shallow words and deep words.

Therefore, I will not express any views on this matter.

On April 4, the 21th round of the Dutch League Two.

In this round of the league, Lin Kedi was selected into the squad.

But still sat on the bench for 90 minutes.

Lin Kedi was still active.

You may ask, how can you be active if you can’t play?

Of course, it is more active during training.

But Marcel didn't even give Link a few minutes of stoppage time garbage.

In this game, at 70 minutes, the Ajax youth team had already led 4-1.

But Marcel held the last substitution spot until 89 minutes, and finally replaced a central defender and replaced it with another central defender.

Lin Kedi didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what happened if he offended Marcel.

However, Lin Kedi still prefers to think positively.

After all, he can be said to be third in the draft above the center.

The two people in front of him were not injured, and there was nothing wrong with it, so it seemed that it was really not his turn to make the substitution.

Lin Kedi is quite good at comforting himself.

But things didn't go in a good direction.

Because, the next round of the league will be the 4th round of the Dutch second league on April 29.

Lin Kedi didn't even make the list.

Lin Kedi really didn't know what he did wrong.

"I train the hardest every day. I am on the bench in the team training game. I have also scored goals. I don't ask for too much. I just want to be a substitute. It can be a few minutes, but it has already passed 6 rounds of the league. Once I didn’t even have a chance, and even once the substitution quota was used up, I was not given a chance. Why? I really don’t understand.”

"Lin, I suggest you go and talk to Marcel. This is so strange, because we all heard that day, Enzo said that Marcel wanted you to go to the second team. But one wants Your coach doesn't give you a chance, this is too strange. And you scored 18 goals in the U49 team, you are not nobody, don't you give a chance? If this is Manchester United, Liverpool , Real Madrid, that is possible, but we are Ajax, we are the team most willing to give young people a chance in the world, not to mention that this is the second team, and they don't even give them a chance!"

"You are right! I must talk to Marcel about this matter, at least let him know my attitude towards playing football."

"I think you can ask him if there's something wrong with you—"

"I don't think I did anything wrong. I'm going to ask him, why did you ask me to join the second team, but didn't give me a chance?"

May 5, the day of the Europa League semi-final first leg.

The second team of Ajax did not practice or play this day.

But on this day, Marcel Keizer appeared on the training ground of the second team.

Because last night, Lin Kedi took the initiative to call him, hoping to have a chat if he had time.

Of course Marcel knew what Lin Kedi was here for.

So it is straightforward to choose this day of rest and chat directly at the team's training ground.

Marcel arrived early, but Link arrived earlier.

When Marcel arrived, he saw that Lin Kedi was not idle and was practicing shooting.

But Marcel's face remained unchanged.

He went straight to Lin Kedi.

"Lin, do you have something to tell me?"

Lin Kedi actually came an hour early, thinking to himself, just in time to practice shooting, and he had already practiced for almost 40 minutes before he knew it.

But just now he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.

But Lin Kedi didn't disrupt his training rhythm. Even if he heard the voice of this person was Marcel Keizer, he didn't intend to stop. Instead, he insisted on practicing the remaining shots before turning to Turn around and face Marcel.

Marcel looked at the way Link looked at him.

"You, if you have something to say, just say it. Rest days are still very precious."

"That's good. Coach, what I want to ask is also very simple. Why did you transfer me from the U18 pair to the second team, but after 6 games, I didn't even get a minute. I don't understand. ,why is that?"

"I think players only need to do one thing well, and that is to abide by the coach's regulations and respect every decision the coach makes."

"So, coach, is this the answer you gave me? No answer?"

"My answer is, I don't think you are at the level of a second-team striker, so I won't play you."

"Then why did you transfer me to the second team? If I didn't reach the level, wouldn't it be good to let me stay in the U18s?"

Facing Lin Kedi's question, Marcel couldn't answer it at all.

Because, the decision to transfer Lin Kedi to the second team was not made by him at all.

Instead, Peter Boss called him himself, saying that it was a decision made jointly by him and Edwin van der Sar. They thought that Lin Kedi was a very talented striker. The number of goals has proved this point. He needs to play in a higher level league area, so Boss hopes that Lin Kedi can be promoted to the second team for training.

To be honest, Marcel's first reaction when he heard the call was to reject the promotion.

Because he is a person with a strong desire for control, he hopes that the team can be built according to his own wishes, and players can choose according to their own wishes.

But this time, Van der Sar also called Marcel after Bosch's call.

The meaning is the same.

And Marcel realized that Van der Sar admired the Chinese very much.

This made Marcel very upset. He felt that the head coach of the first team and the general manager of the team had intervened in his work, which made him very dissatisfied.

But he couldn't refuse, because the head coach of Ajax's second team is such a job. He needs to select talents in the youth team echelon, and he needs to help players who can't play the main force in the first team to maintain their form.

This job is inherently non-choice.

Because there are relevant regulations in the contract signed at the beginning.

So Marcel can only transfer Lin Kedi to the second team.

But after Link's arrival, the better Link's performance in training and the better his performance in team competitions, Marcel will feel that his power is being lost.

Therefore, Marcel made such a decision, he decided not to give Link any chance to play.

"Okay, I can't control you guys coming to my team. But whether I use him or not, you can't control it!"
