027 Why can’t I be the best one?
Ten days have passed since the quarrel in the conference room.
Enzo and Berea seem to have no problems.
But both of them know that the coaching tacit understanding in the past no longer exists.
And the friendship between the two seems to be slowly dissipating.
All this is because of one person - Lin Kedi.
It's just that Lin Kedi didn't know it himself. He also discovered the strange atmosphere of the team recently.
It’s not like he can’t read the air.
However, he only vaguely sensed that there was a problem with the coaching staff, but he didn't know what the specific problem was.
------------------
January 27, Friday, New Year’s Eve 2017.
On this afternoon, after training, at 6 p.m., Lin Kedi went home to celebrate New Year's Eve with his parents.
Although I couldn’t watch the Spring Festival Gala in the Netherlands due to the time difference, the whole family was together to celebrate the New Year.
This feeling is incomparable.
------------------
On January 29th, Sunday, the U18 league is on fire again.
Ajax U18 vs The Hague U18.
"Lin, the boss in The Hague seems to be Chinese."
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't they contact you?"
"Why contact me?"
"Aren't you Chinese very rich?"
"What does this have to do with anything?"
Lin Kedi decided not to talk to Mingdre any more.
He felt that some of Mindre's ideas were different from his own, so it would be nice to be a partner on the court and a teammate off the court.
Unlike Filippo, Lin Kedi and Filippo have now been promoted from roommates to friends.
Lin Kedi has always been considered a slow-acquainted person. Otherwise, if ordinary people meet an extroverted person like Filippo, who is both a teammate and roommate, they would have become friends long ago. But with Lin Kedi, it didn’t take long for him to become friends.
It took half a year for Lin Kedi to upgrade Filippo from roommate to friend.
It's just that Filippo himself felt that he had been friends with Lin Kedi for a long time, and if Filippo thought this way, Lin Kedi would naturally not intend to tell his true inner thoughts.
------------------
After the game started, Lin Kedi played the center position.
But what’s special about this game is that before the game started, Enzo found Lin Ke Enzo.
The expression looks a little tangled.
"Is the football you are playing on the field the football you want to play?"
This sentence seemed a bit convoluted, especially when spoken in English, so Lin Kedi thought about it for a while.
"Yes, the football I want to play is to score goals and win. As long as the way of playing can bring victory, that is the football I want to play."
Enzo nodded after hearing this and said: "So in order to win, are you willing to drop back to get the ball, and are you willing to be a center like Benzema in the frontcourt?"
Enzo said this after careful consideration, after the small conflict that day, and after many private conversations with Berea, he came to a conclusion.
He wanted to see if Lin Kedi was willing to become an all-around center.
Lin Kedi was a little confused.
"Why is there Ronaldo in our team?"
Enzo knew that Lin Kedi was talking about Cristiano Ronaldo. But after Enzo heard Lin Kedi's answer, he was still stunned for a moment, because he never expected that Lin Kedi would answer him like this.
Seeing that Enzo was stunned, Lin Kedi opened his mouth to explain.
"If there is a player in our team with better offensive ability than me, of course I am willing to pass the ball for him, be a bridgehead for him, and pay for him. Although I want to score goals, I prefer the taste of victory. But if
If I have the strongest offensive ability in the team, then why should I be Benzema? Why can’t I be Ronaldo?"
At this time, Enzo remembered what Berea had said to him.
"Although Lin seems taciturn and usually very humble, he is a very confident person at heart. This can be seen from the fact that he dared to shout directly at the veteran players to change positions in the first game."
Only then did Enzo realize that he really knew so little about Lin Kedi. As a head coach, he knew so little about his most important player.
But there are still some corrections.
"You can be Ronaldo! Of course you can. But I see that you also have a lot of pass assists in the game. You are the fourth player with the most assists in the team and the first among offensive players."
"Coach, Ronaldo also has a lot of assists. Although I am not a fan of his, I have watched many Real Madrid games."
"That's right——"
Enzo was silent, and he gradually found that he was at a subtle disadvantage in the conversation with Lin Kedi.
"Then you have to stick to your playing style in the future. You can score goals and pass the ball. You need to know when to shoot and when to pass. If you can do this, you are a super genius!
”
Enzo finally ended the conversation with a suggestion, although when Enzo recalled the conversation in his mind afterwards, he felt that he had performed very poorly in this conversation.
But what Enzo didn't know was that Lin Kedi felt that this conversation was of great significance to him.
Because, he can be the Cristiano Ronaldo of Ajax U18, although it is the center version of Cristiano Ronaldo!
------------------
Back to the game.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Ajax U18 had an excellent offensive opportunity.
The Hague U18 right back pressed too hard to assist, and then one of his crosses was directly intercepted by Ajax U18 left back Burn Porter.
After Bourne stole the ball, he didn't hesitate and made a long pass directly into the large gap.
At this time, no Ajax U18 players were there. Mendre, who should have been in that position, was still in the middle line because he retreated to defend.
But Bourne still passed the ball, very decisively.
Because he knew that Lin would appear there.
After Lin Kedi saw Bourne steal the ball, he immediately accelerated diagonally from the center and ran towards the large gap on the left.
He headed the ball a little, easily removed the ball, and then accelerated the ball to the left sideline of the penalty area.
Facing The Hague, the central defender has already defended to the left sideline of the penalty area.
Lin Kedi moved the ball to the right, trying to break through from the inside, but The Hague's central defender was attracted by this move and leaned a little to his left.
Just like that, Lin Kedi immediately pulled the ball back, but not to his left foot, but to the place between his legs, and then suddenly pushed it forward.
Lin Kedi himself sank his right shoulder slightly, pushed hard on the ground with his right leg, and with an explosive force, he passed by the left side of The Hague team's center back.
Then, stop the ball with your toes.
At this time, The Hague goalkeeper, who was guarding the far corner and placed the near corner for the central defender, was already panicking.
Because Link's enemy is facing a close corner that is almost empty.
Lin Kedi took advantage of the situation and poked forward after stopping the ball.
The ball rolled into the goal.
1 to 0.
Ajax U18 team leads The Hague U18 team 1-0.
Seeing his favorite goal, Enzo jumped up excitedly on the sidelines.
"We were all wrong. Lin cannot be judged by our conventional thinking. Because he is a super genius, and a super genius has his own way of playing. All we can do is help him in training. The rest,
He will do it himself!"
Chapter completed!
