Chapter 122 European Golden Boy Award

The day before the 10th round of the Eredivisie.

Lin Kedi received a call from his agent Ali.

"Ali, how are you doing lately?"

"Very good, very good. Lin, Turin Sports News just called me."

"Want an exclusive interview?"

"What kind of exclusive interview? Turin Sports News, European Golden Boy Award!"

"European Golden Boy Award!"

"Yes, the European Golden Boy Award, the organizing committee called me, this year's European Golden Boy Award is you!"

"It's really me! I thought it would be Arnold or Vinicius. The numerous news reports before made me think it wasn't me. I thought I performed so well this year, why didn't any news Report on me."

"There are still some. The media in your country have always reported on you. Hey, you also know that the British media are the best at promoting it. They promote it as if their British players are superior to others. And Vinicius, after all, he is How many Real Madrid players and media outlets are there? It’s normal to be able to promote it. Compared with those two clubs, Ajax is indeed far behind in terms of media promotion. Lin, you have to remember, Winning awards depends on both strength and publicity, but in the face of absolute results, publicity has no effect!"

"Ali, you are right."

"They will come to the Ajax training center today. Turin Sports News has also called the Ajax club. I believe that the club will find you soon. Tomorrow is a home game. You can play at Athletic Amsterdam." It’s time to show this trophy to the fans.”

Sure enough, I just hung up the phone with Ali.

The call from the club came.

Afterwards, Lin Kedi walked from the gym to the team's meeting room.

There, Lin Kedi received the European Golden Boy Award, known as the U21 Player Golden Ball Award, from Mike Saihorn, Chairman of the European Golden Boy Award Organizing Committee of Tuttosport.

Later, Lin Kedi and the staff came to the official showroom of Ajax.

Here are all the championship honors won by Ajax, and Turin Sports News also brought a trophy body and two replicas to Lin Kedi this time. Lin Kedi chose to give the replica to Ajax. The club's championship showroom.

As for the other one, Lin Kedi thought about it and decided to take it home and keep it.

As for the trophy itself, it will appear at the Amsterdam Arena tomorrow together with Link.

Afterwards, it will be placed on the display cabinet in Lin Kedi's current home.

Next to the Ajax team logo in the Ajax Championship Showroom, Lin Kedi took a photo with the European Golden Boy Award and the team logo.

Subsequently, the official social media of the European Golden Boy Award Organizing Committee of Turin Sports News released the news.

"Official: Lin Kedi won the 2018 European Golden Boy Award."

At the same time, Ajax's official website also released this news.

The Chinese team's official Weibo obviously got the news from Lin Kedi's agent Ali, and also posted a message to congratulate Lin Kedi.

For a time, the news that Lin Kedi won the European Golden Boy Award spread throughout the football world.

In China, this news basically hit the screen, and CCTV’s News Broadcast also reported this news.

It has also been ranked first on the hot search list.

As for Europe, the impact is also huge.

After all, Lin Kedi can be said to be the type of player that has been most lacking in the market in recent years.

How hard is it to find a good center player? The useful centers on the market, no, it should be said that the useful centers have not entered the market at all, but are tightly held in the hands of various clubs.

And Lin Kedi, a center from Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie, has basically become the coveted target of all the giants.

All teams know that Link will not stay at Ajax for long.

This does not involve the issue of feelings or not.

There is no way, this is the reality of the football world.

And now, Lin Kedi is at the Amsterdam Arena, raising the European Golden Boy Award trophy in front of 40,000 fans.

The scene descended into madness.

The whole audience shouted "LIN" together.

Ajax's opponent in this game is Feyenoord.

Lin Kedi's scene before the game also made Feyenoord veteran Van Persie think a lot. Although he had not won such a personal award once upon a time, he had also gained thousands of awards when he was at Arsenal.

The fans chanted their names together.

But now——

While Van Persie was still feeling emotional, the game had already started.

In this game, Lin Kedi has a particularly strong desire to score goals.

As soon as the game started, Lin Kedi took the ball and directly challenged Feyenoord's central defender.

A good center must dare to confront defenders and fight hand-to-hand.

This is a plus for a good center.

As for why it is just a bonus and not a must.

It is also because of the popularity of pass-and-control play in recent years that the centers of many teams are no longer the traditional high center and strong type, but many technical centers have emerged.

Some of them avoid confrontation with the opponent's central defender, while others try to play behind the ball as much as possible.

Lin Kedi actually followed this path last season.

Mainly last year, Lin Kedi was only about 1.81 meters tall.

The level of physical confrontation is indeed not high, and in more than a year, Lin Kedi's height has increased to 1.85 meters.

My muscles also gradually developed during this year.

Ten Hag's coaching staff asked Lin to gain muscle without losing speed and flexibility.

And added confrontation training to daily training.

In Lin Kedi's daily gym training, he also mainly exercises the strength of his waist, abdomen and lower limbs.

If you want to fight well, the strength of your waist, abdomen and lower limbs is extremely important.

After the start of this season, Lin Kedi began to gradually fight in the middle and engage in physical confrontation with the opponent's central defender. Some discerning football critics have discovered this.

In the past, Lin Kedi had to defeat his opponent.

But now the ball is passed, Lin Kedi takes the opponent's central defender's first shot, and either passes, or the opponent can only foul Lin Kedi and leave Lin Kedi behind.

What Lin Kedi has to do now is to withstand the opponent's central defender's first blow, and then get over as quickly as possible.

After that, Lin Kedi's goal is to be able to hold the opponent's central defender and adjust his feet.

Lin Kedi is making progress day by day.

In today's game, Lin Kedi, who had just won the European Golden Boy Award, received a pass from his teammate in front of the Feyenoord central defender not long after the game started.

Lin Kedi ran in the direction of the ball and raised his right hand to support Feyenoord's central defender Vanderheiden.

Then use your shoulders to hold your opponent back.

Vanderheiden obviously didn't expect Lin Kedi to be able to withstand his own impact.

Lin Kedi took the ball with his left foot and pushed forward.

Now Vanderheiden didn't dare to continue taking action, because Lin Kedi had already entered the penalty area.

Vanderheiden can only hope that his partner Bobai Jin can intercept the ball from Lin Ke's opponent.

However, Link's enemy's foot speed was too fast and he stabbed him with his left foot.

Goalkeeper Bailo could only watch the ball go into the net.

After scoring the goal, Lin Kedi ran towards the corner flag.

Raise your hands high as if there is a trophy between them.

Link turned around and showed his honor to the entire Amsterdam Arena.
