August 20, 3 pm, temperature 21 degrees, gentle breeze.

This temperature is naturally very comfortable for Lin Kedi.

Lin Kedi is standing in the players tunnel.

Suddenly, a voice came from my ear.

"That No. 9 is Gakpo, the one with the same name as you. Look!"

I looked in the direction of my roommate Filippo's finger.

A tall man with short hair, with the number 9 printed on the red and white striped shirt on his back. He looks to be 1.85 meters tall.

"But, is he black? I can't tell. After all, his skin color looks like a very light black."

"Hey - I know you don't have this kind of skin color problem in China, but you must not say this in the Netherlands. It's a big deal. At least don't ask other people's skin color casually."

Listening to Filippo's nervous reminder, Lin Kedi also realized that he was indeed a bit unpretentious. After all, on the way to the supermarket last week, he also saw some parades, and the content was basically about these skin colors.

As for political correctness, you might as well talk about something else.

"Let me tell you, unlike the one-drop-of-blood principle in the United States, the skin color algorithm here in the Netherlands is quite complicated. After all, it has colonial historical reasons. But I can tell you that Gakpo is a black man.

”

Link nodded to Filippo, indicating that he heard it.

I thought to myself that these topics abroad are indeed sensitive. I came here just to pursue my football dream, so I should never get involved with these things.

On the other side of the team, Gakpo stood at the end of the team.

Early in the morning, he felt someone behind him pointing at him.

But he didn't look back, this kind of thing was already accustomed to him.

Today's U18 league is also his last U18 league, although his teammates don't know about it yet.

However, Gakpo is also planning to tell his teammates after this game that he will be officially promoted to the Eindhoven second team next week to compete in the Dutch second team.

Before leaving, of course he hoped to use a victory as his farewell gift.

As for other unnecessary things, he will naturally not pay attention to them.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the opponent in this game was Ajax U18, his mind would have wandered to the second team of PSV.

Very soon——

Players from both sides took the field, lined up, and held a handshake ceremony.

Gakpo saw an Asian in the Ajax formation and stared at him specifically.

Lin Kedi clearly felt it.

He thinks this is because Gakpo must have listened to their head coach emphasizing his reasons before the game.

But the arrogance of the Eindhoven U18 coach is exactly the same as that of his players, and he did not mention any Ajax players at all.

When Jia Kebo noticed Lin Kedi, he was just curious about an Asian.

After all, there have been Asian players in Eindhoven before. As a fan of Eindhoven, Gakpo naturally knows the players of his home team very well.

The moment he saw Lin Kedi, he remembered Park Ji-sung and Lee Yong-pyo back then. Although Jakbo had never seen these two Koreans play football, when he saw Lin Kedi's yellow appearance, Jakbo

It reminds me of those two Koreans.

And just when Gakpo walked to the center circle and waited for the kick-off, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a Chinese player in Eindhoven back then, and his name seemed to be - what was his name?

Gakpo couldn't remember it for a moment, but when he thought about it, it didn't matter. After all, the Chinese seemed to have only played single-digit games for PSV and left.

As for which country the Asian who just shook hands was from, Jia Kebo didn't care, he was just feeling emotional for the moment.

"Beep——"

With the referee's whistle, the highlight match of the second round of the Dutch U18 League, Eindhoven U18 vs Ajax U18, officially began.

In the first half of the game, PSV U18 took the lead.

Gakpo passed the ball to his teammates and ran directly behind Ajax's midfielder, looking as if he was going to get behind him at any time.

After receiving the ball, his teammates stopped the ball for a moment and then decisively separated the sides.

Eindhoven's U18 team focuses on wing attack. The two wingers break through and then cut inside or cross.

Now when Gakpo sees the ball on the wing, he moves forward decisively.

The Gakpo man is tall and very fast, and he rushed to the Ajax defense line in no time.

At this time, PSV made a direct pass from the wing.

Gakpo jumped forward, jumped high, and grabbed the header before captain Fernando, and then flicked it, fortunately it was slightly higher than the goal.

But this time PSV's offense was still very successful. A simple cross from the wing directly penetrated Ajax's defense.

Gakpo was not upset. When he saw the ball slightly higher than the crossbar, he just turned around and raised his thumbs to the teammate who passed the ball.

It posed a threat to Ajax's goal right from the start.

Obviously, this wave of offense is a good attempt in Jakpo's eyes.

On the sidelines, the head coach of Eindhoven U18 also clapped his hands with satisfaction.

In the next ten minutes, the Eindhoven U18 team played hard on the wing.

The two wingers constantly attacked Ajax's wing defense.

Lin Kedi could see that the two wingers of PSV were very fierce, so he was very confused as to why Enzo didn't remind him before the game, nor did he say that he should pay more attention to PSV during the game.

What about the wing attack?

The answer Lin Kedi wants may not be available for a while.

Because Ajax was basically suppressed in the first half.

Lin Kedi is already getting impatient. He knows that he only has enough physical fitness for about 60 minutes now. In the last game, he was substituted 5 minutes after completing the hat trick.

Now that the first half is almost over, there are still no good opportunities.

However, it may be sooner than later.

Just when Lin Kedi was thinking wildly.

Minsk successfully intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed it directly to Filippo on the right.

After Filippo took the ball, he passed a cross directly to Lin Kedi in front of Eindhoven's midfield.

Lin Ke's opponent was very fast. After getting the ball, he pulled the ball and then turned sideways to avoid PSV's midfielder's attack.

Then, he led directly forward without pausing, facing the PSV defenders who attacked and defended.

Lin Kedi had no room for extra thinking at this time, and of course, he didn't need to think.

Because what to do when facing a defensive player has become instinctive for Lin Kedi.

I saw Lin Ke's enemy dodge and move, and he wiped out the attacking central defender.

"Okay!"

There was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.

Next, Link faced another central defender who stood firm.

Lin Kedi pulled the ball to the left, and PSV's central defender also moved his right foot. Suddenly, Lin Kedi flicked the ball to the right with his left foot. The moment his right foot touched the ball, he moved forward slightly.

One push.

Then Link's right shoulder sank, his left leg exerted force, and he accelerated into the penalty area from the left side of PSV's center back.

Next, it’s time to face the goalkeeper one-on-one.

"Lin is good at this. He is always decisive when facing the goalkeeper!"

Lin Kedi took back the ball that he just pushed forward with his right foot, and then volleyed.

Use your strength in the penalty area.

PSV's goalkeeper struggled to save the ball, but Lin Ke's shot was powerful and heavy.

The ball has already fallen into the net, and PSV's goalkeeper has also fallen to the ground.

In the distance, Lin Kedi rushed to the corner flagpole, jumped up and waved his fist in celebration.

In Jakbo's sight from afar, Lin Kedi smiled wildly, happily, and excitedly.
Chapter completed!
