Chapter Twenty-Eight: Time Bombs and Good Babies

While media reporters are vying to flatter Jordan and Beckham, they ignore the fact that both Jordan and Beckham appreciate Chen Lin very much, and they also agree that Chen Lin has the strength and qualifications to challenge or even surpass Beckham.

This is also a fairly normal thing, after all, Chen Lin today can't be compared with Beckham and Flyer Jordan in any aspect, of course, except for the ability to cause trouble, Chen Lin is simply a troublesome spirit in the eyes of the media......

Chen Lin didn't care if he was a troublesome person in the eyes of the media, he had already devoted himself to the LA Galaxy's pre-game training camp, and apart from posting the "I'm not an idiot" tweet, Chen Lin didn't even pay attention to the turmoil he had caused.

Anyway, he is now far away from the United States, in Europe, and a series of events in the United States will not affect him in the slightest.

Chen Lin showed very good form during the training camp, and his efforts made the head coach of the Los Angeles Galaxy Bruce Arena couldn't help but marvel.

Bruce Arena is a well-known soccer head coach in the United States, having led the team to several MLS championships and Major League Soccer championships.

At the same time, he was also the head coach of the U.S. national team, and he led the U.S. team to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, making him considered the most successful head coach in American history.

Bruce Arena has been coaching in the MLA for 18 years, and his greatest characteristic is that he is good at discovering and developing new talents, and this characteristic of him has not changed even when he came to the LA Galaxy.

Bruce Arena likes young people with potential, and Omar Gonzalez, the team's main central defender and the best rookie in Major League Soccer '08, is what Bruce Arena has discovered.

Omar Gonzalez, who was born in '88, is already the most expensive central defender in Major League Soccer, and at the same time, he also became a member of the US national team at an early age.

Omar Gonzalez has a similar draft experience as Chen Lin, and he was also selected by Bruce Arena in the first round of the draft, and under Bruce Arena, Omar Gonzalez was given enough opportunities and experience to grow into the most expensive center back in Major League Soccer in just a few years.

Gonzalez's success with the LA Galaxy is largely due to Bruce Arena, but of course, for Arena himself, it is also an honor for him to discover a defender like Gonzalez.

Arenal was very excited when he took Gonzalez under his command, and now he is even more excited because he has found a new goal, a better goal - Chen Lin!

dared to select Chen Lin in the first round of the MLS draft, which shows that Arena itself is very optimistic about Chen Lin, however, in the pre-season training camp, Arena found that he still underestimated Chen Lin.

Chen Lin, both in terms of talent and hard work, far exceeded Bruce Arena's expectations!

Arena has specifically checked the results of Chen Lin's physical examination, and he has also heard the assistant coaches' comments on Chen Lin's "expired treasure", which Arena is quite sorry for.

However, Arena has always believed that even if Chen Lin is an expired treasure, it will always be a treasure, and with his super physical fitness, it will not be too difficult to make a name for himself in MLS.

With that alone, Arena has reason to believe he made the right choice in the MLS draft.

Arena's selection of Chen Lin in the MLS draft is actually a bit risky, although Chen Lin's performance in the audition and the main selection is quite good, especially in the main selection, Chen Lin is the most critical player that the fifth team can win, but other major league teams are still unwilling to risk taking Chen Lin in the first round of the draft.

After all, Chen Lin is a rugby player, he has lived on the rugby field instead of the football field since he was a child, although his footwork on the football field is also exquisite, but who knows if Chen Lin can really adapt to professional football games?

You must know that there is a considerable difference between a professional game and a regular competition......

The LA Galaxy didn't get a relatively high pick in this year's draft, and they were able to successfully get Chen Lin, which already shows how unpopular Chen Lin is.

Before the draft officially began, Chen Lin became the favorite for the draft champion because of his magical performance in the main draft, but the final result was that Chen Lin not only failed to win the title of the draft champion, but was not even selected by the Los Angeles Galaxy until the seventh pick.

The reason why the previous six teams refused to choose Chen Lin was because it was too risky to choose him.

Every year's MLS Draft is the best time for teams in the league to replenish their roster allocation, and few teams are willing to take too risks in the draft, especially those with higher picks, who will choose more consistent players to add to their team's fighting power.

Arena's selection of Chen Lin also put him under a lot of pressure, especially in the recent period, Chen Lin made a storm to challenge Beckham, and was considered by the media to be a discordant factor in the Los Angeles Galaxy team.

Although the turmoil has been resolved after Jordan and Beckham's statements, the media is not very optimistic about the results of the LA Galaxy in the new season, and they call Chen Lin a time bomb within the LA Galaxy team, which will blow up the whole team at any time.

If the team is not in the training camp, the current Arenal may also have a headache, judging from the media reports, Chen Lin is indeed a troublemaker, and his ability to cause trouble is unmatched in the whole United States......

However, the current Arenal does not think so, in the past few days of intensive training, Arenal not only did not feel that Chen Lin was a troublemaker, but felt that he was simply a good baby on the training ground. Chen Lin didn't need others to stare at him to train, let alone make any training plans for him, he consciously completed all the training tasks, and he would also train himself.

Chen Lin also knows that he has fallen too far behind, so he is the hardest working person in the entire LA Galaxy team.

Chen Lin's progress was seen by Arena, who could clearly feel that Chen Lin was getting stronger every day and gradually integrating into the team every day.

In Chen Lin's body, Arena saw a momentum of not admitting defeat.

Didn't the media say that he didn't have the strength and qualifications to challenge Beckham? Then Chen Lin just wants to prove it to them!

Didn't the assistant coaches say he's an expired gem? Then Chen Lin just wants to prove that he hasn't expired yet!
