August 27, the third round of the Eredivisie League.

Ajax goes to an away game to challenge Venlo.

Venlo is located in Venlo, a city in the Limburg province in the southeastern part of the Netherlands, on the border between the Netherlands and Germany. Venlo is a famous lift team in the Netherlands, often floating between the Eredivisie and the Eredivisie.

Last season, after the Venlo team won the championship in the Eredivisie B, this season it has been promoted to the Eredivisie.

However, as a newly promoted team, Venlo has won the first two games. Now in the standings, Venlo is ranked in front of Ajax.

In this game, the Venlo team is at home and has the momentum to swallow Ajax from the very beginning.

However, Ajax played more pragmatically in this game. They did not press directly at the beginning, but counterattacked steadily.

The double midfielder tactic in the midfield becomes very useful at this time.

Intercepted almost all Venlo's forward passes.

Of course the reason is that Venlo's midfielder is too weak.

Venlo won the first two games by simply and directly hitting the ball with big kicks and long passes, because Venlo played 442 with two high center forwards in front.

However, in this game, they wanted to overwhelm Ajax from the beginning, so they did not play simple at all, but played with their feet.

This is more difficult.

Because you were playing football with Ajax in the Eredivisie?

I can’t say that Ajax is the best in Europe, but within the Eredivisie, their footwork is definitely the best.

Therefore, Venlo seemed to be playing very lively in the entire first half and had 5 shots on goal, but none of them hit the goal range.

Finally, in the second half, Ajax relied on substitute Cerny's long shot to score Venlo's goal.

In the end, Ajax won the game 1-0.

As for how Lin Kedi performed in this game.

It can be seen from the post-match ratings that he is the second highest among players.

However, Lin Kedi was not replaced in this game, because after this round of league games, there will be two weeks of national team competition days.

There is no competition mission for Lin Kedi.

Generally follow the practice in the football world.

If the football associations of each country want to recruit players, they will send letters to the clubs in advance.

Usually it is the day before the game one week before the national team match day, which can give the head coach a chance to make adjustments and substitutes.

The Chinese Football Association did not send a fax.

Ten Hahe is still a little curious.

"Is the level of the Chinese team so high? They don't recruit players like Lin Kedi? If I were the coach of the Dutch team, I would definitely recruit them."

However, Link was relaxed and resting in his apartment.

On the first day of the national team competition week, Lin Kedi’s rest day, he was leaning on the sofa watching TV.

The show on TV was Everybody Hates Chris, an American sitcom. The Dutch TV station happened to be showing the first season. Lin Kedi started watching it out of boredom.

While I was watching, my phone suddenly rang.

A call from Ali.

"Ali, what's wrong? You want to see me if you need something?"

"Lippi's agent contacted me and asked me for your contact information. I checked and found that Lippi is the coach of the Chinese team——"

"Did you give it?"

"Of course not. I'm not sure yet whether you want to play for the Chinese team?"

"Of course I will play for the Chinese team."

"That's it, then I'll give it to you. Lippi will probably contact you."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, only 10 minutes passed.

A phone call came.

Lin Kedi didn't think so. According to the time difference, it's 1 o'clock in the evening in China now.

The call was answered.

"Hello Lin, I'm Marcelli Lippi."

English with a special accent.

"Oh, I am Lin Kedi."

"I want to ask you something."

"You said."

"Do you want to play for the Chinese team?"

"Of course."

"That would be great. If you are willing to play for the Chinese team, I feel there is hope for the next one. That's great."

Lippi was so excited that he said twice that it was great.

"I believe you have also paid attention to the top 12 games. We tried our best to win the last two games, but frankly speaking, there is not much hope. After getting your answer today, I feel confident. Next, I will thoroughly

To update the Chinese team, because of your existence, I can do it, I dare to do it, and I am interested in doing it."

Lin Kedi listened to Lippi's words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to meeting you soon, bye."

This is the end of the phone call.

Lin Kedi felt like he was in another world.

Lin Kedi also knows the situation of the national football team. Lippi wants to update it, can he?

However, this matter was relatively far away for the time being, and Lin Kedi shook his head and was not ready to think about it.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Kedi continued to watch TV.

But the phone rang again.

It's Janessa Endi.

"Why don't I even know you moved?"

"Um, didn't I tell you?"

"I still listen to Frankie."

"That's it. Maybe I've been too tired recently and I forgot about it."

"Are you tired? Originally, I wanted to go out with you - in this case -"

Suddenly, Lin Kedi heard a knock on the door.

"Wait a minute, there's someone knocking on my door."

"It's me."

"What?"

"Come here and open the door. I'm carrying things and making phone calls. I'm very tired."

Lin Kedi walked to the door and looked through the peephole. The first thing that caught his eye was a flash of red. It was Janessa.

Open the door.

Janessa stuffed the thing in her hand directly into Lin Kedi's arms.

"What is this?"

"A side dish for hot pot."

"Hot pot? Do you still know hot pot?"

"Please, it's not like I've never had Chinese food."

“Please, I’ve also eaten Chinese food in the Netherlands, so it’s not called Chinese food at all, okay?”

"What I eat is owned by Chinese people. It seems to be owned by Sichuan people. They say that the hot pot comes from them. They also say that as long as you have an induction cooker and a pot at home, you can make hot pot."

"So you bought a pot, right? But how did you know that I have an induction cooker at home?"

"My family owns shares in this apartment. I asked the manager and found out that every unit in this building has a standard induction cooker."

"I wanted to ask you how you got in just now, but there's no need to ask now. Sure enough, if you have money, you can do whatever you want."

"No matter how you do whatever you want, I can't make you regard me as a friend."

"I have always regarded you as a friend."
