Chapter 17: Competitiveness
August 19th.
"Son, it's your first time going to a foreign country, you must pay attention to safety."
"I see, Mom."
"Your dad and I are both busy with work, and neither of us had time to watch your first game last time."
"I know. You can work in peace, everything is fine on my side, I scored three goals in the last game and I still started this game. I'm doing well in the club. "
"That's okay, knowing that you're doing well, we'll be relieved."
After chatting with his parents, Lin Kedi lay down directly on the bed in the hotel.
This is a hotel next to the home of PSV Eindhoven's youth team.
Link learned from his teammates that generally speaking, when he goes to the away game in the U18 league, he will play that night and leave in the morning.
The Netherlands was not very big, and the passage was by plane, which was actually very fast.
The reason for this is also to reduce the cost of accommodation.
However, for Ajax, the game against last season's Under-18 champions, PSV Eindhoven, is particularly important.
If Ajax are to win this season's Under-18 title, they will need to win the Under-18 game against PSV Eindhoven.
Therefore, for this game, the club has specially approved to go to Eindhoven City one day in advance for pre-match preparations.
Of course, there is another reason.
'We've had two seasons and we've lost four games in total, and the last time we won against PSV Eindhoven was four seasons ago, so in the Under-18 league, Ajax really want to win against PSV Eindhoven.
Link was lying on the bed, listening to Filippo's popular science.
"Felippo, you actually came a year before me, but how do you know so much?"
"A year is already a long time. You have me as a good roommate, I don't dare to talk about other things in the club, but I know everything about the U18 team. "
"I just wanted to ask if there are any famous players in PSV Eindhoven's Under-18 squad?"
"Of course, last season's top scorer in the Dutch Under-18 league was PSV Eindhoven, and their centre-forward, Cody Gakpo, is 17 years old, an absolute genius, he was only 16 last season. And the point is, he officially signed a professional contract with PSV Eindhoven this summer, and in the entire Dutch U18 League, players who have signed professional contracts can basically be counted on one hand, do you say he is not a genius? "
"That's a super genius!"
At this time, Link suddenly wanted to meet this man named Cody Gakpo.
"Huh, Cody? Defeat the enemy - Lin, his name is almost the same as your name! "
"English is fine, but the Chinese pronunciation is really similar, but the tone is different——"
"Actually, you can be liked by Mr. Van der Sar, and you scored a hat-trick in the first game, you are also a super talent."
"Filippo, you're really good at complimenting."
"Anyway, we lost both games against PSV Eindhoven last season, and that kind of loss is really uncomfortable, and with you this season, I think we can definitely win."
Lin Kedi looked at the expectant expression on his roommate's face and replied decisively.
