Football: I am a goalkeeper, averaging 1 goal per game

"Okay, Xu, do you know why our group of old guys came to you today?"

Steve asked.

Xu Jin shrugged: "Is it because of tomorrow's game against Reading?"

Steve nodded: "Yes!"

"Tomorrow, we will start the fifth round of the Championship with a home game against Reading."

"You should also know that our club's current results in the British Championship are not satisfactory. We cannot accept a start like 1 win and 3 losses."

"So, in the next game against Reading, which is weaker than us, we are bound to get 3 points at home."

"Although you haven't had any contact with first-team players yet, we still plan to bring you into the game!"

"Yes, Xu, for the next game, you will be included in the squad as a substitute goalkeeper."

When Xu Jin heard Steve's words, his eyes widened: "What?"

Steve smiled: "Don't be surprised! Xu, it's me, Leonardo and Coach Wilder who communicated."

"If we can get a big lead in the next game, Coach Wilder will let you appear at the last moment of the game, so that you can experience the intensity of the British Championship firsthand."

"And if our score advantage is not obvious, or if there are other special circumstances, sitting on the bench, you can also watch the game at close range to understand the rhythm and intensity of the British Championship game."

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows after listening.

"Of course! I am very much looking forward to playing in the Championship tomorrow!"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Xu Jin's answer, Steve and Wilder laughed.

Afterwards, Wilder said to Leonardo: "Leon, then I will take him away today."

Leonardo nodded: "Remember our agreement! Perhaps my u18 team will be the main force for the Youth League Championship and the Youth FA Cup Championship! When I need it, you must let me go!"

Wilder smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have given up the FA Cup this season. The entire first team is going all out to surpass. You want me to arrange more games for Xu, so that he can exercise with the adults more. I can only say sorry to you."

Just like that, Xu Jin was brought to the training ground of the first team by Wilder in a daze.

When I came to the first team training ground.

The first team members are doing warm-up exercises under the leadership of the captain.

Assistant coach Tony first ran into the training ground and began to supervise the training.

Xu Jin and Wilder stood on the sidelines.

Wilder began to introduce the Middlesbrough first-team players one by one.

"Xu, the one who runs at the front is the captain of our first team. Paddy McNair, who is in charge of the defensive midfielder!"

"Then our three goalies. The black guy's name is Zack, and the other two are Ryan and Luke."

"The one behind is the main striker of our first team, the midfielder Crooks. Last season, he scored a total of 10 goals for our Middlesbrough. In four games this season, he also scored 1 goal."

Hearing this, Xu Jin could already imagine the weakness of Miburg's offensive end.

A midfielder, but the team's main scoring point.

When Wilder said this, he also heaved a long sigh: "Have you heard this, have you already seen the problem of our team's front line?"

Xu Jin nodded.

Wilder said: "This is the huge problem our club is facing right now!"

"Nowadays is the era of golden dollar football. Good players, even some players with potential, are basically poached by those giants or teams with the support of big consortia."

"At the same time, because of the gap in financial resources, there is an insurmountable gap in the level of youth training among many clubs."

"For a team like ours, it is too difficult to find good seedlings or sign players with potential."

Xu Jin nodded.

This is indeed a problem that teams in the second-tier world football leagues will encounter.

Because a large number of consortiums have entered the football circle, the value of players has increased.

Many small teams can still pin their hopes on the youth training system of their own clubs.

In fact, this is the case in many countries' second-level leagues, which undertake the work of cultivating young players in a country.

But because of the introduction of various high technologies.

The gap in youth training among many clubs is also gradually widening.

For those clubs with financial support, the investment in youth training alone has now begun to approach the level of [-] million yuan.

Among them, most of them are used to introduce various more professional and targeted sports technologies.

For example, when Xu Jin was still in Florence, the youth director of Bumblebee Dortmund once told Xu Jin.

For their Dortmund youth team, professional sports video recorders are set up beside all training fields, and they are equipped with related systems that can digitize the training results of each player, so as to formulate an exclusive training plan for each player.

This alone is incomparable to many small clubs.

Like Mibao, it is not easy to sign Xu Jin and at the same time cultivate Zitan with great potential.

Moreover, players like Zitan are very familiar with the English football style and have a Premier League account book, so there is a high probability that they will be bought by other clubs.

No matter how reluctant Miburg is, according to Miburg's economic situation, they can only nod and sign.

This is the world of adults, the world of modern football.

Although one person, one city is the dream of many players.

But under the temptation of high weekly wages, it is difficult for them to refuse.

At the same time, in the face of huge transfer fees, the club will not take any "emotions" into account.

Therefore, Xu Jin can assert.

In the future, the legendary stories of one person, one city will only become less and less.

More and more players will become mercenary players with their own system like Ibrahimovic.

And this kind of player will be very popular with the club!

Because it can be called to fight immediately.

This……

In fact, it was also Xu Jin's goal.

He doesn't need to make himself a hero with one man and one city.

His goal is actually quite simple.

Do your best so that you can get as many achievements as possible in the club.

Now in Middlesbrough.

Xu Jin's plan is to win the FA Youth Cup.

Then it is able to lead Boro to the Super League success this season.

In the next season, after following Boro to familiarize himself with the rhythm of the Premier League, after the contract expires, he will choose a team that is more suitable for him.

A team that can hit the Premier League title and the FA Cup title!

If the team is not strong enough, he may immediately transfer to a more competitive team to seek opportunities.

After all, his ultimate goal is the Champions League!

as well as……

World Footballer.

Because there is no way to get good results at the national team level.

There is one and only one way for Xu Jin to accomplish this goal.

That is to achieve the goal that no one has achieved before.

All the champions of the five major leagues, as well as the Champions League champions!

"Xu, can I ask you a question?"

Xu Jin turned his head, looked at the fiery head coach Wilder, and said, "Coach, I'm your player now, you don't have to be so polite to me, if you have any questions, just ask."

Wilder said: "Are you...really not interested in playing forward?"

Hearing this, Xu Jin shook his head.

It seems that my football career cannot avoid this topic.

"Coach, I'm very sorry, I don't think I'm suitable to play forward."

Wilder smiled.

However, his heart was complaining.

Your ability is not suitable for playing forward?

You have a speed and shooting ability that many forwards and full-backs can't match!

At the same time, his dribbling ability is stronger than many official first-team players in the British Championship.

You are not suitable for playing forward! ?

"Xu, you are really too modest."

Wilder said: "Ah! Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to force you to change your position, but I want to ask you. How did you train to have the ability you have now? I have read your information. In During Fiorentina's youth training period, you were also a goalkeeper. Before that, you had no contact with formal football training. How did you train your dribbling and shooting?"

For this question, after Xu Jin's last competition, he thought of an answer.

"Actually... I don't have any special training skills. It's just that when I was in Huaguo, I didn't have a fixed position when I played football with my friends. You can play as you want!"

Wilder nodded slightly: "It seems that you and the genius Jesse from Nottingham Forest are the same! I should discuss it with Leonardo. In fact, in the training of the youth team, it is not necessary to care so much about the special training of player positions. .All players should be able to develop in an all-round way, so that they can better play and discover the strengths of the players."

Hearing Wilder's words, Xu Jin glanced at the corner of his mouth.

it's over...

I'm not pulling Middlesbrough into a vicious circle, am I?
