Chapter 18 is also a genius
August 20, 3 p.m., temperature 21 degrees, light wind.
This temperature is naturally very comfortable for Lin Kedi.
Link is standing in the tunnel of the players.
Suddenly, a voice came to my ear.
"That number 9 is Gakpo, the one with the same name as you. You see! "
He looked in the direction of his roommate Filippo's finger.
A tall man with a small head and a red and white striped shirt with a number 9 printed on it. It looks like it's 1.85 meters.
"Is he black, though? I couldn't tell the difference, after all, his complexion looked like a very light black. "
"Hey, I know you don't have this kind of skin color problem in China, but you don't have to talk about it in the Netherlands. Big thing. At least don't ask people about their skin color. "
Listening to Filippo's nervous reminder, Link also found that he was indeed a little open-mouthed, after all, on the way to the supermarket last week, he also saw some parades, and the content was basically these skin color things.
As for political correctness, you might as well talk about something else.
"I'll tell you, unlike the American principle of a drop of blood, the Dutch skin color algorithm is still quite complicated, after all, there are historical reasons for colonies. But what I can tell you is that Gakpo is black. "
Link nodded hostilely to Filippo, indicating that he had heard.
I thought to myself, these foreign topics are really sensitive, and I came to pursue my football dream, and these things should never be touched.
On the other side of the team, Gakpo stood at the end of the team.
He had already felt someone pointing at him behind him.
But he didn't look back, this kind of thing was already a habit for him.
Today's U18 league is also his last U18 league game, although his teammates don't know about it yet.
However, Gakpo is also ready to tell his team-mates after this game that he will be officially promoted to PSV Eindhoven II next week to compete in the Eredivisie.
And before leaving, of course, he wanted a victory as a farewell gift for his farewell fight.
As for other meaningless things, he naturally won't 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 drifted to PSV Eindhoven II.
Soon—
Players from both sides take the field, line up, and have a handshake ceremony.
Gakpo saw that there was an Asian in the Ajax formation and stared at it specifically.
Link clearly felt it.
He thinks it's because Gakpo must have listened to their manager before the game to highlight himself.
But PSV Eindhoven's Under-18 manager's arrogance is the same as that of his players, and he doesn't mention any of Ajax's players at all.
And Gakpo noticed that Lin Kedi was just a curiosity of an Asian.
After all, PSV Eindhoven also had Asian players before, and Gakpo, as a fan of PSV Eindhoven, naturally cherished the players of his home team.
The moment he saw Lin Kedi, he remembered Park Ji-sung and Lee Yong-pyo back then, although Gakpo had never seen these two Koreans play, but as soon as he saw Linke's appearance as a yellow person, Gakpo remembered those two Koreans.
And just as Gakpo walked to the center circle and waited for kick-off, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a Chinese player in Eindhoven back then, as if it was called-what's it?
Gakpo couldn't remember it for a while, but after thinking about it, it didn't matter, after all, the Chinese seemed to have only played single-digit games for Eindhoven and left.
As for which country the Asian who shook hands just now was, Gakpo didn't care, he just sighed for a while.
"Beep-"
With the referee's whistle, the second round of the Netherlands U18 league focus match Eindhoven U18 vs Ajax U18 match officially began.
In the first half, PSV Eindhoven U18 kicked off first.
Gakpo played the ball at the feet of his team-mate and ran straight behind Ajax's midfield, looking like he was ready to cut in at any moment.
And his teammates, after receiving the ball, stopped the ball and observed it and then decisively split the side.
PSV Eindhoven's Under-18s are centred around the flanks, with two wingers cutting inside or crossing after a break.
