Chapter 21. The curtain opens
At half-time, the first half was over, with Ajax's bombardment failing to bring them a single goal, PSV Eindhoven holding on to their two-goal lead, and Ajax will face an even more difficult situation in the second half.
Just as the players walked into the players' tunnel one by one, Coach Frank stopped Li Lin.
"Lee, you don't have to go back to the locker room, you go to the court to warm up now!"
Frank de Boer stared at Li Lin's eyes tightly, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Li Lin, and he wanted to see whether Li Lin was ready to play.
Li Lin was a little surprised when he heard the news just now, but then what came up was the joy and endless fighting spirit that was about to play, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied loudly: "Yes, coach!" ”
After speaking, he immediately walked back to the court, just looking at his back, he could feel Li Lin's inner emotions now.
"Hope it's not hurting you, Lee!"
Coach Frank said this sentence lightly from his mouth, and his voice was so small that it was not heard by anyone.
At this time, in the fan stands, Uncle Roma and Shande, who were two goals behind in the first half, sat in their positions with some frustration, and the cheering in the first half made their voices a little hoarse, so Shande was ready to get up and buy some water to come back, of course, this was a strict warning from Aunt Salisa, not to drink beer in the stadium.
However, as soon as he stood up, he noticed a player running out of the players' tunnel and began to warm up in the middle of the court, still fiddling with the ball from time to time.
"That's?" Shande let out a questioning voice with some uncertainty, he felt that the person's back was so familiar, "Dad, Dad, do you see if you are Li?" ”
"Huh? Where? ”
Hearing his son's words, Uncle Roma immediately stood up and looked into the court, and sure enough, when he saw that familiar figure, he was a little depressed and immediately became excited.
"Lee, come on, let the hillbillies in Eindhoven who have never seen the world see what you can do!"
Uncle Rohm shouted vigorously, but unfortunately, the place where he was sitting was too far away from Li Lin, and the stadium was very noisy, Li Lin could not hear his shout, but he was still very satisfied.
In the media area, Li Lin's appearance also attracted the attention of reporters on Ajax's side, Coach Frank only called Li Lin out alone to warm up on the field, there is no doubt that Li Lin must be replaced, and his appearance also caused discussions and disagreements among reporters.
"I'll admit that Lee did well in the warm-up game, but that's about it, Coach Frank put the treasure on such a young player, and the gambling is a little too strong!"
Lister Petter, a reporter for the Dutch People's Daily, is not very optimistic about Li Lin's performance after he played, in his opinion, this is no different from gambling, and this move is made, and Ajax has no turning back.
"I think Coach Frank also has to do it as a last resort, looking at the entire Ajax bench, there is no player who can form a tacit understanding with the players on the field and share the pressure on Eriksen, there is no more suitable player than Li Lin, and other players may be more stable on the field, but there is no obvious difference between their impact on the situation on the field and these players on the field."
On the side, Rubis, a reporter for the Amsterdam Sports newspaper who came with Van Sdil, was obviously more optimistic about Li Lin.
"Joke, is it possible to have an 18-year-old on the pitch to make a difference to the situation of the game? In my opinion, he has just become familiar with the atmosphere on the pitch, the game is over, and there are some relatively experienced attacking players on the Ajax bench, so why do you have to choose such a player who has no official game experience? ”
Dutch Telegraph reporter Fran is not optimistic about Li Lin at all, and anyone can see the disdain on his face. He looked at Van Sdier and didn't speak, thinking that the other party was also persuaded by his words, and a touch of pride flashed across his face.
"I think Coach Frank is afraid that he will be carried away by the results of these two years, and this game will give him a heavy blow! That Asian will make him look the best! ”
Fran's words were a relief to the Eindhoven reporters, but at the same time some of the meaning of his words sounded harsh to others, and for a moment the atmosphere in the media area was a little dull.
Van Stilr did not participate in the dispute of everyone, not that he was powerless to refute Fran's words, but it was never his style to be stubborn, and he was not willing to engage in meaningless verbal battles with Fran, because he understood that the other party was a political far-righter, so he preferred to slap these people in the face with facts.
At this time, he began to look forward to Li Lin's performance, which was Li Lin's first supporter who was forced to be helpless.
I don't know that Li Lin, who almost quarreled in the media area because of him, is still warming up on the field.
It was the first time he had warmed up alone in the stadium, and a strange feeling of being watched by the fans in the stadium came to him, which made him tremble, but it also provoked his desire to perform.
"Next, it's my showtime!"
Li Lin's face was resolute, his eyes were slightly closed, and everything was about to begin.
……
"Dutch TV, audience friends, the second half of the game has begun!"
"Ajax's side made the first substitution, the young youngster Lee replaced Icelandic striker Sigsolsson, his profile shows that he is a striker, let's see where he will be, I don't think coach Frank will simply replace a striker!"
On the court, Li Lin, who had just come on the court, felt a pressure rushing towards him, and he was inseparable from him, which made him a little flattered.
Stumped yourself to this extent?
This is what he thought wrong, Advocaat didn't know much about him, but it didn't affect his judgment of the current situation, Li Lin came to the team to connect the team, there is no doubt about it, so he gave Van Bommel a death order, that is, to keep an eye on that player for me.
Van Bommel also did an excellent job of completing the task assigned by the manager, and in a short period of time, he has snatched the ball from Li Lin's feet three times.
Standing up a little depressed, Li Lin looked at Van Bommel who had already walked away, and knew in his heart that the test for him had just begun, although Van Bommel was older, but after all, he used to be a world-class defender, his body may not be as strong as it was at the beginning, but his consciousness is definitely the top in the world, and it is not so easy to get rid of the other party easily.
Li Lin continued to devote himself to the confrontation with Van Bommel, this game is like a grand stage, a spotlight shines on the main actors, all the focus of contradictions, everyone's eyes, everything, are focused on this point, just waiting for the final climax to be staged!
