God of Greenery

Amid the helpless sighs of the home fans, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 0-1.

Behind is Alkmaar, who is playing at home.

Alkmaar's players all lowered their heads when they left the field, feeling shameless.

Although the fans didn't boo them, everyone still felt ashamed.

Especially Jiang Xiaolin, he thought before the game that Feyenoord was stronger than the opponents he had encountered before, but he didn't expect to be so much stronger that he didn't even make a threatening shot in the first half.

Simply incredible.

Of course, after 45 minutes of getting used to it, Jiang Xiaolin had realized that it wasn't that he was weak, but that he didn't have enough experience.

Whether it is running without the ball or shooting skills, heading, jumping, balance, flexibility, speed, etc., I am better than Feyenoord's defensive players in many aspects.

The only thing that can't be compared is experience.

In many cases, before Jiang Xiaolin made a move, the other party knew where he was going and what he wanted to do.

No matter how strong Jiang Xiaolin was, his strength was limited.

If Jiang Xiaolin's comprehensive ability in offense can reach 18, the comprehensive strength of other defense players can also be ranked 16 or 17.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin was worse, the difference was not so obvious.

Then, relying on his rich game experience, superiority in numbers, and overall discipline, he naturally guarded Jiang Xiaolin until he lost his temper.

Jiang Xiaolin's hat-trick in the last game, in fact, there is a reason why the opponent has not taken Jiang Xiaolin seriously.

After all, he is a 16-year-old pure rookie, making his first start, so it is difficult to get attention.

But Feyenoord obviously won't underestimate Jiang Xiaolin in this game, after all, Jiang Xiaolin just performed a hat-trick.

Feyenoord's own strength is much stronger than that of Roda JC, and when he pays more attention to it psychologically, it's no wonder that Jiang Xiaolin, who is inexperienced, can't please him.

Coach Van Gaal naturally sees all of these in his eyes.

During the intermission, Van Gaal adjusted his tactics.

Jiang Xiaolin still has to use his excellent physical fitness and off-the-ball running ability to disrupt the situation on the court, giving the opponent the illusion that Alkmaar is still dominated by Jiang Xiaolin.

But in fact, Alkmaar wants to focus his offense on Hamdoy and Marten Martens.

Hamdoy is the striker, and Martens is the attacking midfielder, which can form a front and back duo with a sense of offensive hierarchy.

Jiang Xiaolin's main role is actually to transform into a center forward who helps his teammates play the ball.

It just so happens that Jiang Xiaolin's stopping technique, dribbling, short passing, etc. have all made great progress, and he is already competent for such a tactical center forward role.

After making tactical adjustments and restarting the game in the second half, Alkmaar's offense improved a bit in the second half.

In the 53rd minute, Alkmaar sent the offense to the frontcourt, and the ball was at the feet of forward Schals.

Schals was about to make a pass from the bottom, but was strictly guarded by Feyenoord's full-backs and failed to make a bottom pass. In the end, he could only pass the ball to Maarten Martens in the middle.

As soon as the ball fell to Martens' feet, Feyenoord's defense tensed up.

Because everyone knows that Martens is Alkmaar's frontcourt playmaker and has a strong ability to organize assists.

Sure enough, as soon as the ball reached Martens' feet, Jiang Xiaolin quickly changed direction and ran away, throwing off a defender who was closely guarding him, and rushed to the gap on the left side of the penalty area, as if to catch Martens there The ball forms the meaning of a shot.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin has always been the object of Feyenoord's strict defense in this game.

The moment Jiang Xiaolin ran, Feyenoord's full-back saw the gap there and rushed over at the same time.

It is estimated that when Jiang Xiaolin runs in place, even if he receives a pass from Martens, it will be difficult to form a chance to directly hit the goal without stopping the ball.

However, when Martens continued to pretend to pass the ball to Jiang Xiaolin, causing Feyenoord's defense to lean further to the left and defend Jiang Xiaolin strictly, Martens made a spike and then passed the ball to the right. .

Hamdoi cut in from the right, threw off the defender and rushed into the penalty area, volleyed the ball non-stop, and kicked the ball towards the goal.

Hamdoui completed this shot almost without interference, and the quality is quite high.

However, Feyenoord's goalkeeper E. Meda played a super high level in this shot. A standard side attack struggled to pull the ball out of the bottom line, which made Alkmaar miss the opportunity to equalize the score.

Although Hamdoy was a little annoyed, Martens stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't be discouraged, the coach's tactics are fine, if you come a few more times, we will definitely score goals."

The game restarts.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't hit the corner kick this time, and Martens took the ball too high, and when it fell to the back point, Feyenoord's players pushed out of the penalty area to clear the siege.

Jiang Xiaolin gave full play to his advantages in body, speed, and running without the ball, creating a lot of psychological pressure on Feyenoord's defense.

But in fact, Alkmaar's offensive focus is not on Jiang Xiaolin, but Feyenoord has never noticed it.

In the 66th minute, Jiang Xiaolin received a pass from Martens with his back to the goal in the penalty area, and made a move to turn around and shoot, which caused a panic among the Feyenoord players in the penalty area, and the goalkeepers stared at Jiang Xiaolin. , I was afraid that he would suddenly turn around and shoot.

However, when Jiang Xiaolin attracted three Feyenoord defenders to surround him, he sent the ball accurately to the outside of the penalty area on the right.

The right midfielder Styne Schals, who was inserted in the back row, poked the ball into the penalty area before the opponent's player made a clearance, and then rushed into the penalty area.

Then, Schals volleyed from the ribs of the penalty area and kicked the ball towards the goal.

It's a pity that this shot went a little bit wide, hitting the bottom line that popped out outside the goal post.

But even though the goal was missed, this is indeed a rare scene of Jiang Xiaolin assisting his teammates with the ball.

During this attack, Van Gaal saw Jiang Xiaolin's ball-handling ability and short-passing ability, both of which are very good. They are already two very different people from the original trial training.

It is also completely feasible to let Jiang Xiaolin be the tactical center.

Of course, everything is useless without going in to equalize the score.

Fortunately, Feyenoord has not been able to score a second goal.

Although their overall strength is higher than that of Alkmaar and they get more shooting opportunities than Alkmaar, their forward shooting skills are still not as good as Jiang Xiaolin's, and they cannot achieve Jiang Xiaolin's high goal frame hit rate.

They even wasted at least two chances to score in the second half, so that the score has not been able to expand, and has remained at 0-1.

It is this subtle score that keeps Alkmaar from giving up on the counterattack.

After all, if they score even one goal, they can have a huge impact on the result.
