Chapter 211. Exercise young people
As soon as the warm-up match was over, Li Lin took the plane back to Amsterdam non-stop, and two days later, it was another Eredivisie game.
However, when Li Lin hurriedly returned to the Netherlands, various media in England spoke highly of Li Lin's performance in the warm-up match, and the result was that reporters wanted to interview Li Lin, but found that he had returned to the Netherlands.
How did he know that Li Lin guessed this situation after the game, and only by returning to the Netherlands could he temporarily avoid these annoying reporters, but sooner or later they would chase after him, which Li Lin was mentally prepared for.
"Yo, our Mr. International is back!"
Sitting in the locker room, Paulson saw Li Lin walk in and whistled directly. And the rest of the teammates also looked at it, especially the young players in the team, and the adoration in their eyes was simply naked.
"It's okay, I finally have the opportunity to play for the national team."
Li Lin smiled faintly, neither proud nor very proud, all of this was taken for granted.
"Lee, how did it feel to be on the national team for the first time?"
Huo Sen on the side walked up to Li Lin and asked with some curiosity.
"It feels good and I'm grateful to the coach for trusting me to start."
Li Lin was also very excited at first, but after playing a game, he felt like that, maybe a game like the World Cup or the European Cup was the most exciting!
Here Huo Sen was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Paulsen.
"Huo Sen, don't think about it, this guy Li is a pervert, you don't know, like this kind of player who is selected for the national team for the first time, can start, and can also show a pass and a shot performance, there are very few players, you still honestly show a good performance in the club."
Paulsen did not hesitate to pour a basin of cold water on Huo Sen's heart, and by the way, he also teased Li Lin.
Huo Sen stood in place and nodded silently, yes, without a good performance, how could he be selected for the national team, and how could he be favored by the head coach of the national team.
"As long as you keep learning and growing, sooner or later you will be selected for the national team, if your ability can't improve, even if you are selected, you won't be able to last."
Li Lin patted Holsen on the shoulder, and then went to change into a jersey.
It wasn't long before Erikson walked in, with a couple of newspapers in his hand. After seeing Li Lin, Erikson shook the newspaper in his hand at Li Lin, and then put it on the table.
"Lee, yes, you have almost established your status in the national team, I think as long as Hodgson is not stupid, you will definitely continue to be selected for the World Cup qualifiers in the future!"
Erikson said with a smile.
Eriksen was still a little surprised that Li Lin had such an outstanding performance when he first entered the national team, he really didn't expect Li Lin to integrate into the team he had been unfamiliar with so quickly.
"Maybe, who's right."
Li Lin smiled indifferently, this kind of thing depends on what Hodgson thinks, and he can't decide it.
Just as the two were about to say something, Frank de Boer walked in and interrupted their conversation.
"Let's all come to the conference room and analyze the opponents in the next game."
……
To be honest, no one could have imagined that Roda JC, mired in the relegation zone, could cause so much trouble for league leaders Ajax, who suddenly scored a goal by the team's left wing-back Ramzi just before half-time, and Ajax ended the first half with a goal behind.
At halftime, sitting in the locker room, Li Lin looked at his teammates and was silent.
In this game, he did not start, because it was against a weak team, Frank de Boer decided to give Li Lin a break, after all, Li Lin has just returned to the club from the national team, and there is a Europa League game next, which is only good and no harm. But the team's offensive performance in this game was really unsatisfactory!
Standing in front of the tactical board, Frank de Boer exhaled deeply, feeling a little tricky.
Because Borigott was not selected for the squad due to a minor injury, Ajax's forward line in this game was De Jong with two young players, Fisher and Horsen, obviously, the attacking ability of this attacking line is a little worse. In the first half, Fisher also fell into the opponent's encirclement and defense, and did not achieve much.
"I thought it would be no problem to win the opponent like this, but now it seems that I am still too optimistic!"
Frank DeBoer muttered softly, but he still didn't have the idea of replacing Li Lin immediately. At this time, it is the time to test these players, and if Li Lin is replaced now, it will be a bit of a big blow to the two young people, Fisher and Horsen.
"Let's take another look, I still hope they can stand the test!"
De Boer knows very well that he will rely on these young players in the future, and the faster they grow, the better it will be for him.
"It looks like the coach is going to prepare for the future!"
Li Lin saw that the head coach didn't mean to change himself, and he probably understood what the other party was thinking.
"Yes, when we all leave next season, the coach can rely on these people, the team can't spend too much money to bring in reinforcements, and even if they do, they may not perform better than these young people!"
Eriksen is also well aware of the manager's intentions, or rather, Frank de Boer has never hidden his intentions.
"Then you guys come on in the second half, don't wait until I come on the court to finish the game, then you have no face, right!" Li Lin teased.
"Come on, I really thought you could score a goal on your own!"
Eriksen pouted, he had nothing to say about this growing fellow, and he had to find a chance to teach him a good lesson.
Before going on the court, Li Lin hugged Fisher and Horsen to cheer them on.
"Victor, don't think so much, you have to be simple on the field, sometimes simple and direct things are more effective, don't use your weaknesses and other people's advantages to fight hard, and you, Huo Sen, since you don't have an advantage in physical confrontation, you have to find a way to play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, don't fight with the other party, let's play smarter, right!"
Fisher and Howson nodded, in fact, they also thought things through at halftime, but on the pitch, they were caught in that atmosphere, and it was difficult to turn that corner.
And Ajax, who are back on the pitch, have clearly improved their attacking efficiency.
