God of Greenery

Chapter 123 Procrastination

It is true that Hamdoy will not compete with Jiang Xiaolin for penalty kicks. Jiang Xiaolin has already conquered all his teammates with his superb shooting skills in training and competitions, including Hamdoy, who was originally the number one free thrower for set kicks.

After the teammates pulled Jiang Xiaolin up from the ground and hugged them, they all exited the penalty area and handed the ball to Jiang Xiaolin to take the penalty.

None of them, including Hamdoy, left the penalty area without saying anything.

Outsiders don't know that Alkmaar has already determined by the head coach Van Gaal that the first penalty shooter in the game is Jiang Xiaolin.

Others are not allowed to take penalty kicks for any reason, unless Jiang Xiaolin is not on the field.

Since Jiang Xiaolin was present and the ball was created by Jiang Xiaolin himself, it was even more impossible for someone else to take the penalty.

Naturally, Jiang Xiaolin would not be polite. He picked up the ball from the ground, walked to the penalty spot and put it down, then stepped back a few steps, ready for the penalty kick.

Thousands of Utrecht fans in the stands tried their best to boo and curse, trying to influence Jiang Xiaolin's mood and make him miss a penalty like Robin Neilsey.

On the sidelines, Van Gaal, Junker, Alfred and other coaches, as well as several substitute players and other staff members, were no longer on the bench. Everyone stood on the sidelines, braving the rain, nervously Looking at the penalty area in Utrecht, he prayed that Jiang Xiaolin would make the penalty.

This ball is really important.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin can make a penalty, Alkmaar will overtake the score, reverse the game and take three points from the away game.

Moreover, because the two teams are direct competitors, as long as Jiang Xiaolin makes a free throw and holds the 3-2 score in the end, Alkmaar will replace Utrecht after the game and re-enter the UEFA Cup playoffs.

As for the Chinese reporters in the stands, they didn't care about Alkmaar's ranking, they only cared about whether Jiang Xiaolin could score a goal.

In the last game, Jiang Xiaolin didn't score a goal, but at least he had an assist, which was ridiculed by some Dutch media, as if Jiang Xiaolin's five goals in the previous games were all dribble.

But today, as long as Jiang Xiaolin can score this penalty and score twice, the Dutch media can completely shut up.

Some people even put their palms together and made wishes to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

In the penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin, who was standing behind the penalty spot, was out of breath, but in fact his heart was calm and he felt no pressure at all.

If it's a sports game, Jiang Xiaolin is really not sure. He can't guarantee whether he will score a goal or not, or how many goals he will score in a game.

But as long as he hits a penalty kick, Jiang Xiaolin doesn't worry about it.

This stems from Jiang Xiaolin's confidence in the system and his past experience in kicking penalties.

He didn't just take a penalty kick after coming off the bench against Groningen, he also practiced a lot of penalty kicks in his usual training.

The hit rate has remained [-]% so far. Even if it is as strong as Sergio Romero, he has not saved a penalty kick from him in training.

Even if the judgment is in the right direction, it is useless, because the penalty spot is too short from the goal, the speed is too fast, and the goal is too wide.

And Jiang Xiaolin's penalty kick went to the four dead corners without any mistakes.

20 points full of shooting skills, in terms of penalty kicks, it is really amazing.

This is also the reason why Van Gaal clearly designated Jiang Xiaolin to replace Hamdoy as the first penalty shooter on the court during the game. Not only because Jiang Xiaolin scored a penalty kick in his debut, but also because Jiang Xiaolin usually Kobayashi's best performance in training.

Naturally, Jiang Xiaolin would not disappoint Van Gaal's trust, nor could he.

Neither the pouring rain nor the boos of the Utrecht fans in the stands had any effect on him.

He can't guarantee other things. In terms of penalty kicks, he can guarantee that Utrecht's goalkeeper Grando can't stop him from scoring.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin and Grando were ready, and that no players from both sides outside the penalty area stepped into the penalty area, the referee standing on the left side of the penalty area blew the whistle for free throws.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin glanced at Grando calmly, took two steps up and kicked the football.

When Jiang Xiaolin kicked the penalty kick, he won with strength and angle, and there was no fake action at all.

Therefore, before Jiang Xiaolin hits the football, it is indeed easier for an experienced goalkeeper to judge the direction of Jiang Xiaolin's free throw in advance according to his touch position.

Grando also judged the direction of Jiang Xiaolin's kick, his eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed to the right ahead of time.

Then, he also saw that the ball was indeed flying towards the direction he saved.

However, he later discovered that the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky. Even though he had moved ahead of time and saved it, his hands still couldn't reach it.

Grando stretched his arms, but he didn't touch the ball flying upwards in the air. He could only pray that Jiang Xiaolin's ball would fly into the stands.

However, when he saw the ball flying into the goal from the junction of the crossbar and the post out of the corner of his eye, he was immediately discouraged and slammed on the ground with a slap, and did not get up for a long time in a daze.

Jiang Xiaolin, on the other hand, had already easily waved his arms and ran in the wind and rain to celebrate, behind him were the crazy happy Alkmaar teammates.

Because Alkmaar has already reversed the score with Jiang Xiaolin's penalty kick, leading the home team Utrecht 3-2.

At this time, the game time has reached 90 minutes, and the fourth official on the sidelines has already issued a sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time.

This ball has been called a lore.

Time is running out for Utrecht.

Everyone naturally wants to celebrate crazily, and deliberately delay the time, the longer the better.

However, the players and coaches of Utrecht are naturally not allowed, and they constantly protested to the referee that Alkmaar celebrated for too long and deliberately delayed the time.

After celebrating for more than half a minute, Jiang Xiaolin and other talents finally returned to their own half slowly under the intervention of the referee, ready to restart the game.

However, not long after the game restarted, Van Gaal began to make substitutions.

You know, Van Gaal hadn't changed anyone before.Even if a player received a yellow card, he actually held back and didn't make a substitution.

But now that Alkmaar has reversed the score and entered stoppage time, Van Gaal began to make constant substitutions.

He wants to use up all three substitutions.

Moreover, what's even more insane is that he didn't change them all at once, but changed them one by one.

The coaches and players in Utrecht were vomiting blood with anger, and the fans in the stands wanted to tear down the chairs and throw them down to smash Van Gaal.

But none of these have any effect, and they can't change Van Gaal's determination to delay the consumption of time by changing substitutes in stoppage time.
