"Director! Lin Kedi has been added to the roster!"

"Really made it? Let me tell you, he will definitely make it! He scored a hat trick in the last game. Even if this is the final, he can definitely make it in the squad!"

"Then, director, the schedule will be as mentioned before?"

"Well, He Wei and Zhang Zhi."

"Okay director, I'm going to change the schedule now."

"By the way, let's announce it on Weibo. After all, we didn't live broadcast the previous Europa League games. I guess the fans don't know that we also broadcast the finals."

"Okay, director. I'll do it now."

"Well, go ahead."

Zhang Jiasu looked at the back of the editor-in-chief of Wutai Sports Program Group leaving, and his mood was very complicated.

As an old fan, Zhang Jiasu was delighted that Lin Kedi was selected for the Ajax Europa League finals squad.

But at the same time, he also felt that Ajax was unlikely to win.

Moreover, just because you played in the last league game does not mean that you can play in this final.

However, Zhang Jiasu knew that he was a pessimist, so he did not share his inner thoughts with outsiders.

After all, entering the squad for the European finals is already a huge breakthrough for Chinese players.

A total of three Chinese players have played in European competitions before, and they were all in the Champions League.

But the most recent one was already 7 years ago.

And this time Lin Kedi participated in the European finals.

This meaning is different again.

So when Ajax announced the 18-man roster for the next day's final the day before the game, Lin Kedi's name once again topped the list of hot searches on Chinese social media.

This time, more Chinese people got to know this 16-year-old child.

------------------

May 25th, UEFA Europa League final day.

In the final, Ajax wore their traditional white and red jerseys.

Manchester United was the team that advanced to the final, so they wore the blue jersey of the visiting team.

"CCTV, CCTV. Good night, dear fans. Today is the final day of the UEFA Europa League. The two sides fighting are Ajax and Manchester United. The commentators today are I, He Wei and Zhang Lu.

Director Zhang."

"Dear viewers, before the game starts, let's take a look at the rosters of both sides."

"Ajax has a traditional 4-3-3 offensive formation, with Onana as the goalkeeper, Riedewald, De Ligt, Sanchez and Feltman in the defense from left to right, and in the center of the three midfielders.

Schone, with Ziyech on the left and Ajax captain Klaassen on the right. There are three forwards, with midfielder Younis in the center, Dolberg on the left, and Traore on the right.

”

"Manchester United's formation today is 433, not the double midfielder formation of 4231. The goalkeeper position is Manchester United's cup goalkeeper Romero, the center back combination of the defense is Smalling partner Blind, the left back is Damian, and the right back is Damian.

The defender is Valencia, the captain of Manchester United in this game. The midfielder is Herrera, and the two central midfielders are Fellaini and Pogba. Both of them are over 1.9 meters tall.

Midfielder. The left winger is Mkhitaryan, the right winger is Mata, and the one at the front is the teenager Rashford."

"Zhang pointed out that today Mourinho chose Mkhitaryan and Mata instead of Lingard and Martial. Is this a tactic for stability?"

"Yes, Lingard and Martial are both pure wide players, and they often move forward as a team, but Mkhitaryan and Mata play on two wings to prepare for coordination.

Both of them are active in the ribs. Obviously, Mourinho is ready to control the ball at his feet in this final!"

"Indeed, Manchester United's lineup today exceeded many people's expectations. They did not use a more aggressive lineup to play in the final, but instead used a set of control tactics."

"But I still have Rashford in the frontcourt. Rashford is very fast, so if he plays fast, he can play."

"Oh, the game is about to start, and the two teams have already begun to line up and shake hands. Here is another data to tell you. The average age of Ajax's players today is 22 years old, while Manchester United's is 27 years old. If expanded

When it comes to the 18-man squad, Manchester United is 32 years old, while Ajax is 20 years old. The reason why the gap is so big is because Ajax has our 16-year-old Chinese teenager Lin Kedi on the bench."

"Kedi Lin scored a hat trick when he faced Willem II in the last Eredivisie match. And Kedi Lin also set multiple records. In today's final, Kedi Lin is temporarily sitting on the bench."

"Manchester United took the lead in the first half of the game. Ajax is the runner-up in the Eredivisie this season. In fact, they have already secured a place in the Europa League play-offs for next season. Note that it is the Europa League play-offs.

Manchester United is sixth in the Premier League this season, so they cannot rely on the league to enter next season's Champions League. They can only rely on the Europa League champion to qualify for next season's Champions League. So for those who are interested in participating

For the two teams in the Champions League next season, this championship is crucial." (I checked the previous information incorrectly. I wrote this today and looked at the video of the game that year. Zhan Jun said before the game that the Eredivisie League

In 2017, because it ranked 11th in the European League, only the first place could participate in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League, and the second place could only participate in the Europa League. This is corrected)

"Participating in the Champions League is crucial for both Ajax and Manchester United. Even before the game, there were rumors that the top management of both teams had said that if they did not win the Europa League, then the head coach would get out of class will be over."

"During the pre-match press conference, Mourinho said with great confidence that today's Europa League champion will definitely go to Manchester United. Although Ajax head coach Peter Bosz was not as clear as Mourinho.

expression, but obviously he is also very confident."

"Okay, the referee is already looking at his watch."

"The referee team for this game is from Italy, and the head referee is Italian Mazorov-Senglia."

"With the referee's whistle, the first half of the game officially started."

"In the first half, Manchester United took the lead. Rashford passed the ball to Smalling. And Smalling also found Juan Mata on the right side of the frontcourt with a big kick."<

/p>

"The ball was passed a little high and was kicked out of the sideline by Riedewald. It was a throw-in. Manchester United got a throw-in in the frontcourt less than a minute into the game."

"This inbounds ball was thrown by Fellaini, and it seemed that he was going to throw the ball vigorously. Players from both sides entered the penalty area."
