Tschen La Ling

Tschen La Ling (Chinese: 林球立; pinyin: Lín Qiú Lì; born 6 January 1956) is a Dutch former professional footballer who most notably played for Ajax as a right winger.

Born in The Hague to a Chinese father and a Dutch mother, Ling began his career with his hometown team Den Haag in the 1973–74 and 1974-75 seasons.

Ajax won the Eredivisie title in the 4 seasons of 1976-77, 1978–79, 1979–80, and 1981–82, and reached 4 Dutch Cup finals in the 4 consecutive seasons of 1977-78, 1978–79, 1979–80, and 1980–81, but these feats paled in comparison to the European successes during the early 1970s, when Ajax, with players like Johan Cruijff, Johan Neeskens, Johnny Rep, Ruud Krol, Barry Hulshoff, Horst Blankenburg, Arie Haan, Gerrie Mühren, and Piet Keizer won 3 European Cups in the 1970–71, 1971–72, and 1972–73 seasons.

Ling played together with players like Krol, Ruud Geels, Frank Arnesen, Soren Lerby, Simon Tahamata, and Martin van Geel, and later also with Wim Kieft, Frank Rijkaard, Gerald Vanenburg, Jesper Olsen, and Sonny Silooy.

He also assisted in appointing a new head coach, aiming to professionalise operations and align with the club's vision of developing young talent.
