With the commentator's passionate roar, the noise in the Volendam Stadium, Veronica's home stadium, escalated to a higher level.
This football stadium, which can only accommodate 6,000 people, is an inconspicuous small stadium in the Eredivisie. Even if it is full, it will be difficult to compete with a wealthy team like Amsterdam.
But in the Dutch second division, the prestige created by a stadium full of 6,000 people is still amazing.
In the Dutch second division, Veronica is a wealthy club, and Volendam Stadium is the "home stadium of hell".
Just as the commentator said, Luo Kai received the ball in the penalty area.
Facing the opponent's defender who came to defend him, Luo Kai planted his right foot firmly and raised his left foot in a motion to dunk the football to the right.
He deceived the opponent's defender into stretching out his foot to block it, but his left foot feinted from behind the football. After passing it, he quickly shook his ankle and swung it back, using his outer instep to gently push the football to the left.
Just like that, he shook away the defender who came up to block his shot, and then he raised his left leg again. This time it was no longer a fake shot!
The instep of his left foot firmly hit the football!
Bang!
The football flew toward the goal like a cannonball!
The opponent's goalkeeper didn't even make a save - he just had time to raise his arm and the ball went in.
"Rolo, lolo, lolo -!!! Amazing Roo!! This is his third goal in this game! He completed a hat trick! His three goals helped Veronica win the
4:0 lead at home!!”
The commentator's roar was quickly drowned out by the thunderous cheers of six thousand people.
Luo Kai, who scored the goal, turned around and ran towards the nearest stand.
There, Veronica's fans had already poured down and waved their arms to him.
Other players from Veronica rushed over and hugged Luo Kai to celebrate his goal.
Luo Kai, who was surrounded by the crowd, smiled a little wildly, even ferociously, but this did not damage his handsomeness at all, and even made him look more charming...
A uniform, deafening shout rang out over the packed Volendam Stadium: "Lo!! Lo!!! Lo——!!!"
※※※
"Luo!! Luo!!! Luo——!!!"
Looking at Luo Kai hugging and celebrating with his teammates on the screen of his mobile phone, Yong Jun sighed: "Luo Kai has finally been kicked out. He has only played fourteen rounds of the Dutch second division and he has already scored seven goals. Maybe it's a mistake."
He can still compete for the Eredivisie Eredivisie Golden Boot this season. It seems that he did not adapt to the Netherlands last season in vain..."
"So it is right for Luo Kai to choose to continue loaning to Veronica - when the news came out, there were no fans who thought that his playing in the Dutch second division would delay his growth..." Zhang Qinghuan commented.
"It's caused by the marketing accounts following the nonsense. It sounds like the level of the Dutch second league is very low." Yong Jun snorted and put the phone aside.
"Don't worry about others for now, Qing Huan. The next Barcelona derby is very important to you..."
Zhang Qinghuan spread his hands: "I may not be able to start, Uncle Yong."
"What if? Besides, if you don't start, you won't be ready? You have to be ready on the bench at all times, so that when the opportunity comes, you can seize it!"
Zhang Qinghuan nodded quickly: "Uncle Yong, you are right, I will be prepared..."
"And let me tell you, Qing Huan. After playing the derby with you, Catalonia will have to face Leeds City in the Champions League. This means that they will definitely be affected in the league. This is a good opportunity.
Be sure to catch it!”
The time has come to mid-November.
After twelve rounds of La Liga, Saria is currently ranked 12th.
The performance was quite satisfactory, neither good nor bad, it was Saria's normal performance.
Zhang Qinghuan has made a total of seven appearances in the past twelve rounds of the league, five of which came as a substitute and two starts, but he was replaced early in the second half.
There has never been a full ninety minute game so far.
If you only look at the data, it would be easy to think that Zhang Qinghuan's performance is not very good.
After all, he only contributed one assist and no goals in seven appearances.
But in Yong Jun's view, Zhang Qinghuan is indeed gradually adapting to the rhythm of La Liga.
His performance is actually getting better and better - his two starts were just recently.
Sarria head coach Arno Casas also gradually figured out Zhang Qinghuan's characteristics during this process, and basically fixed him in the offensive midfielder position, competing with several offensive midfielders on the team.
This way, Zhang Qinghuan doesn't have to compete with his opponents in a position he's not comfortable with, which can be considered a good thing.
Zhang Qinghuan is not fast, and his physical confrontation ability is average. But his advantages are good skills, ability to control the ball, and wide passing vision, so he is not completely unable to find a place in Saria's formation.
But what makes Yong Jun very unhappy is that during the critical period of integrating into the team, Zhang Qinghuan had to be frequently called up by the national team to play in what he considered unnecessary friendly matches.
In the two games in September, it was said that the new coach took office, and all the overseas players who had just trained with the team returned to China to play two warm-up games.
In October, the Chinese Football Association had a bright idea and knew that it would be a hassle to ask everyone to return from Europe to play two meaningless friendly matches. So this time they decided to put the friendly matches in Europe, not allowing the overseas internationals to travel back and forth, but allowing
Domestic players run.
The Chinese team lost both friendly matches.
One game was lost to Croatia 1:2, and the other game was lost to Switzerland 0:3.
Since Dong Jianhai took office, he has lost three consecutive games in friendly matches.
The two warm-up matches that have just been played recently are in order to prepare for the Asian Cup in January next year, so the opponents selected for the warm-up matches are all Asian teams. It is impossible to go to Europe for training, and we can only let the overseas international players run again.
One trip.
Returning to China to play Thailand first, with the goals of Luo Kai, Chen Xingyi, and Hu Lai’s brace, the Chinese team defeated Thailand 4:2, finally ending the embarrassing situation of three consecutive losses in friendly matches.
In the second friendly match, the Chinese team's opponent was Syria. The Football Association took into account the hardship of overseas players traveling back and forth and decided to send the entire team to Qatar and Syria to compete. This will allow the overseas international players to return closer...
But they never thought about it. Don’t they need to spend time and energy on the journey from China to Qatar?
Therefore, the Chinese team did not perform well in this game. They shook hands with Syria 1:1 in the away game.
The only bright spot was that Zhang Qinghuan scored a goal in the game.
This proves that he is in good condition recently.
But this made Yong Jun feel even more pity for Zhang Qinghuan - because with Zhang Qinghuan's recent state, if there was no interference from the national team game, it is actually possible for him to start in the Barcelona derby with Catalonia United.
As a result, Zhang Qinghuan, who had flown tens of thousands of kilometers to play a friendly match with the national team, had to sit on the bench because the national team match was followed by the Barcelona derby.
Not only that, the Chinese national team will regroup on December 1st and begin a month-long training camp to prepare for the Asian Cup in Qatar, which will open in January next year.
Although international players who have studied abroad do not have to join the national team so early, they still have to report to the national team on December 15th.
At that time, La Liga had not yet entered the winter break, and there were still two rounds of league games to go...
No matter how good your performance is, which club head coach would dare to entrust a new player with a heavy responsibility who will miss a month and a half when he first joins the team?
Yong Jun once had some very "rebellious" ideas. He believed that this Asian Cup should be abandoned directly, or should not care about the results, and only domestic players should participate. Let all overseas players, especially those who have just gone abroad,
We feel comfortable adapting to the new team and new environment at the club.
It doesn't matter how the Asian Cup ends.
But he just thought about it in his mind and didn't say it out loud, let alone complained to Zhang Qinghuan.
He knew that his idea was indeed extreme.
After achieving good results in the World Cup, domestic expectations for this team are now very high, and everyone hopes that they can achieve good results in the Asian Cup. Some people have already shouted the slogan "win the championship".
Although the players have worked hard, they are still looking forward to the Asian Cup.
As an agent, it is not appropriate for me to say depressing words in front of players.
So as not to shake the morale of the army...
It's just that this is a hardship for Zhang Qinghuan and others. For them, their overseas career actually only started after the Asian Cup.
Fortunately, Hu Lai and Luo Kai have passed the adaptation period.
Xia Xiaoyu is even still training and playing in the reserve team, and has not made it to the first team at all.
Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi have only had a few playing opportunities in their respective teams' domestic cup competitions.
Seeing that 2026 is almost over, the wave of Chinese football studying abroad started with great vigor, but now it has gradually fallen into a low ebb.
Even Hu Lai's performance is much quieter than last season.
He scored seven goals in twelve rounds of the league, which is not a few goals, and he still ranks first in the league's top scorer list.
But his number of goals in the same period last season was twelve, which is considered a decline in terms of statistics.
This season, Leeds City has consumed energy in the Champions League due to two-front operations, which has dragged down its performance in the league.
The Premier League has played twelve rounds, and the defending champion is only ranked ninth.
After paying such a huge price, his performance in the Champions League was not satisfactory.
Four rounds of the Champions League group stage have been played, and Leeds City ranks third in the group with only three points.
They have never been able to score points since defeating Bay Lighthouse 2:1 away from home in the first round.
In the second round of the group stage, they lost to Catalonia 1:3 at home. In the third group stage, they were defeated by Vesuvius 0:4 in an away game. After returning to home in the fourth round of the group stage, although they scored two goals, they still lost 2 goals.
:3 lost to Vesuvius.
After four rounds of the group stage, Catalonia has accumulated 12 points and has already secured qualification to qualify for the group in advance.
Vesuvius is in second place with seven points. Since they have an advantage in goal difference and win-loss relationship, there are two rounds of group matches left. As long as they win one more game, they will lock in the qualifying spot in the remaining group.
As for Leeds City, the best result is to participate in the Europa League knockout rounds - it depends on whether they can beat Bay Lighthouse.
It can be said that last season's Premier League champions have had a very miserable life in the past two months.
There are even rumors that Tony Clark is going to be dismissed...
Because of Clark's appreciation and trust in Hu Lai, Yong Jun is also very concerned about Leeds City's coaching position.
Just over four months ago, when Chinese players went abroad one after another and were spotted by European teams, everyone thought that these overseas players and Chinese football would have a bright future.
Now when I think about how excited and excited everyone was back then, and now looking at it now, it makes people feel a little... bored and depressed.
So...it doesn't mean that when our players start to go abroad and come to Europe to play football, the situation will get better, and our football will improve by leaps and bounds like taking a high-speed elevator.
Chinese football still has a long way to go...

PS, I saw a reader asking about the song list in the book, so I took the time to make one.
I originally planned to do it on NetEase Cloud, because I listen to songs on NetEase Cloud. However, due to copyright issues, many songs are not available.
So I had to switch to QQ Music and use QQ Music to make a playlist called "". You can directly search for "" in QQ Music and then select "Songlist" to see it.
That's right, it's the playlist whose cover is the green cover of the novel "", and whose creator is called "Lin Hai Tingtao".
There are some with the same name, so don’t click on the wrong one.
Click on it to see all the songs that have appeared in this book so far.
You can also save it. Whenever new songs appear in the book in the future, I will put them in this playlist.
Of course, if I have missed anything, you are welcome to leave a message and I will add it to the playlist.
