God of Greenery

At noon on the second day, the AFAS Stadium, the home stadium of Alkmaar, which can accommodate more than 17000 people, was full of seats.

Except for more than 2000 Roda JC away fans, all other positions were filled by Alkmaar's home fans.

There were even 2000 people outside the stadium lingering for a long time, trying to buy tickets for scalpers to enter the stadium, but unfortunately they failed until the start of the game.

This is the second leg of the first round of the play-offs, and it is a decisive game, so the stadium is full.

Before the start of the game, reporters from the sports channel of Huaguo State TV conducted random interviews on and off the field.

Both Chinese and overseas Chinese fans and Dutch fans in Alkmaar are full of confidence in Alkmaar's promotion tonight.

And the source of confidence is Jiang Xiaolin.

Of course, Chinese and overseas Chinese fans are more concerned about Jiang Xiaolin's personal success.Although they also wanted Alkmaar to advance, they thought it would be best for Jiang Xiaolin to score three or four goals alone and lead Alkmaar to advance.

Local Dutch fans, on the other hand, tend to only need Alkmaar to advance.

As for Jiang Xiaolin, they believed that Jiang Xiaolin would definitely score a goal, but they didn't care how many goals he scored.Now, in their hearts, the team's advancement is more important than Jiang Xiaolin's personal performance.

But no matter which side it is, they pin their hopes on Jiang Xiaolin.It's really amazing that Jiang Xiaolin's performance since joining Alkmaar.

There was even a girl in her 20s who shouted "I love Jiang Xiaolin, I love Huaguo" after knowing that she was a TV reporter from Huaguo, which excited the two Huaguo reporters.

Apparently, the appearance of Jiang Xiaolin did drive many Dutch people to fall in love with Wu and Huaguo.

Even those who did not fall in love with Huaguo were full of affection for Huaguo.

Jiang Xiaolin's role is obviously not limited to football.

Of course, these are just extensions of the game.The most important thing is the game.

If Jiang Xiaolin can't continue to show excellent performance in the game, these off-court effects will be spectacle and have no foundation.

Everything has to be proved by Jiang Xiaolin's performance in the competition.

Because it was less than a week since the last match, Jiang Xiaolin didn't add attribute points to his skills before the match this time.

Even so, he feels that he, who has returned to his normal state, will definitely be able to lead Alkmaar to defeat Roda JC, advance to the final of the play-offs, and finally win the UEFA Cup next season.

2008年5月4日，星期日，中午14:30，2007/2008荷甲联盟杯附加赛第一轮第二回合阿尔克马尔主场迎战罗达JC的比赛在阿尔克马尔的主场AFAS球场正式开始。

In this game, Van Gaal did not use defensive counterattack tactics.

Although Alkmaar drew with Roda JC 1-1 away in the last round, Alkmaar scored an away goal.

If Alkmaar takes a defensive approach in the second round and draws Roda JC 0-0 at home, Alkmaar will advance to the final with the advantage of away goals.

No matter what tactics Alkmaar plays, Roda JC must attack and score goals in order to eliminate Alkmaar and advance to the final.

Therefore, Alkmaar's defensive counterattack is actually the most efficient way of playing.

But Van Gaal didn't do that.

In the Netherlands, defensive counterattack is not a common tactic, total defense is.

Especially at home, if Van Gaal uses defensive counterattacks to deal with his opponents, then more than 14000 home fans may not boo his opponents, but will boo Van Gaal instead.

Of course, if he is not sure about the counterattack, Van Gaal will not care whether the fans boo or not, he will continue to play according to the tactics that are most beneficial to him.

But now that Jiang Xiaolin has fully recovered, Van Gaal is [-]% confident that he can win this game, so he doesn't need to take the risk of offending the fans and being criticized by the media to fight back.

He chose to confront Rhoda JC.

As a result, this game has become the favorite confrontation battle of the media and fans.

From the beginning of the game, Alkmaar, who got the kick-off, launched a fierce attack on Roda JC.

In less than 20 seconds, the ball was passed into Roda JC's penalty area.

It's just that Shalls, who passed the ball, didn't have a good grasp of the strength and angle, and failed to cooperate with Jiang Xiaolin's running position, causing the ball to deviate a bit, and was kicked out of the penalty area by a defender of Roda JC to clear the siege.

If the ball was passed more accurately, Jiang Xiaolin might not be able to stop the ball and form a shot.

However, when more than 14000 Alkmaar fans were still immersed in the annoyance that this lightning attack did not result in a shot, Roda JC's players had already passed the ball to Alkmaar's half, forming a counterattack .

However, although this counterattack formed a shot, the quality was very low, and it missed the post by several meters, and did not pose a threat to the goal guarded by Romero.

In just one minute of the opening, the two teams each completed an offense, and the transition from offense to defense was extremely fast.

Next, the two teams still maintained a high-speed passing and cutting movement, fighting aggressively, and both wanted to score first.

Under the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, the turnover rate of players on both sides increased significantly.

And Jiang Xiaolin's ability to seize opportunities is the highest among all the players in the audience.

So, in the 8th minute, Jiang Xiaolin seized a mistake made by his opponent.

In the 8th minute, Roda JC passed the ball all the way back to the goalkeeper under the pressure of Alkmaar's midfielder.

The original intention was just to allow the goalkeeper to make a transition, and to transfer a player from Alkmaar when someone went up to steal, so that some of Roda JC's defenders would be in the neutral position, so that Roda JC could pass in the backcourt.

As a result, when the goalkeeper Castro received the pass from the full-back, and when Hamdoy stepped forward to press and wanted to pass the ball to the central defender, the power passed was small and the angle was distorted.

This is a typical example of mistakes on the fly.

Jiang Xiaolin did not expect that Castro would pass a backcourt pass between him and central defender Sankaye under the pressure of Hamdoy.

Sankaye was keeping a distance from Jiang Xiaolin, preparing to receive a pass from his teammate Castro.

Unexpectedly, Castro would pass the ball crookedly, which caught Sankaye by surprise.

Then, when he reacted, Jiang Xiaolin had also reacted, and the two of them rushed towards the rolling ball.

At this time, the condescending fans could easily see that Jiang Xiaolin's speed was much faster than Sankaye's.
