God of Greenery

The players of Alkmaar, who conceded the ball and fell behind 1-3, looked a little listless.

If Van Gaal was standing on the sidelines, he might make some attempts by substituting players, adjusting tactics, and yelling at players.

Regardless of whether it is effective or not, at least it will give the players a backbone so that their morale will not be low and they will not be at a loss.

But Junker stood frowning on the sidelines and did nothing.

It is estimated that Van Gaal was sent to the stands and asked him to command on the spot. I am a little at a loss!
Such a situation and the coach's inaction are obviously quite unfavorable to Alkmaar's situation.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, the morale of the Nimegen team was even more boosted.

They are not satisfied with the score of 3-1.

Because for Alkmaar, who owns Jiang Xiaolin, returning to the home court in the second round, after adjusting his mentality, it is not impossible to regain the disadvantage of two goals.

What's more, Alkmaar still has an away goal.

As long as Alkmaar beat Nijmegen 2-0 in the second round, they will be able to win with the advantage of more away goals when the total score is 3-3, and take away the last UEFA Cup place.

Therefore, Nimegen must continue to attack and continue to put pressure on Alkmaar. It is best to score him one or two more goals to form a greater advantage and make Alkmaar unable to stand up.

On Alkmaar's side, in the first half, an own goal and two misjudgments by the referee made him restless and out of shape.

In the second half, Lens, a player on loan from his own team, came up against Moisander's big foot like luck, and then created a chance for Lens to shoot the goal himself.

In addition, coach Van Gaal was sent to the stands, and assistant coach Junker did nothing after conceding the third goal.

The various things encountered in today's game made the players of Alkmaar really see no hope of victory.

Don't talk about hope, everyone is even a little desperate.

Many people have the idea that God does not want Alkmaar to advance.

In this way of thinking, everyone's hard work and enthusiasm have naturally been hit hard.

As a result, less than 10 minutes after conceding the third goal, Nimegen scored another goal in the 80th minute.

This time it has nothing to do with Lens. It was Nijmegen's No. 5 full-back Ike Chaor's sudden assist, which caught the Alkmaar player by surprise.

With no one defending, Ike Chaor drove straight in with the ball, directly dribbled the ball to the bottom line and then made a pass.

No. 11 forward Snoll grabbed the first header at the front point and rubbed it. The ball crossed the small penalty area and landed at the back point.

The ball landed at the front point, whether it was Alkmaar's defensive players or goalkeeper Romero, they all naturally rushed forward.

As a result, Snoll's header hit Romero and others by surprise.

No. 9 striker Hemu put the ball into the goal with almost no defensive pressure at the back point.

Then, belatedly, Styne Shals knocked Worm to the ground, but it was useless.

In the first half, Homme, who cheated a penalty kick by diving, gave Alkmaar a heavy blow in the second half, making Nijmegen lead Alkmaar 4-1 at home.

Such a score can almost be said to have killed the second round of the game.

Although there is no lack of miracles in the history of football that fell behind by 3 goals in an away game in the first round, and returned to home in the second round, they reversed the miracle.

But the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because the probability is very small, and it is obviously very unreliable to pin your hopes on such a probability.

As a professional player, everyone obviously knows this.

What made everyone feel even more desperate, and what made people feel bad luck, was that the goal was scored by Hemu.

You know, in the first half, it was Herm's diving that cheated a penalty kick and made Moreno get a yellow card. He was replaced during the intermission, and then indirectly caused the substitute Moisander to make a mistake and was sent off. After stealing the ball from the backcourt, Lens then scored.

As a result, now Hemu himself scored the goal again, which dealt Alkmaar the heaviest blow.

With such a trend and process of the game, it is difficult for people not to be crooked, thinking that God does not want Alkmaar to enter the UEFA Cup next season.

Therefore, except for Jiang Xiaolin, the Alkmaar players have already lowered their heads, almost acknowledging their fate.

The Alkmaar fans in the stands have all been silent.

Facing the wild celebrations of Nijmegen's home fans, they were completely powerless to resist, and they didn't even have the desire to curse.

Some fans even shed tears in despair.

The TV commentators in the commentary booth also explained Hemu's goal and said:

"Although the first round of the game has not ended, the second round has not yet started, and there are even super forwards like Jiang Xiaolin in Alkmaar, but we can already judge that the score of 4-1 has basically killed finals."

"Unless Alkmaar can score a goal in the last 10 minutes of this game, close the gap to only two goals behind, and have two away goals. Otherwise, Alkmaar is basically unlikely to return. After arriving at the home court, it was reversed and turned around."

"Although everyone prefers to remember the miracle stories of the three-goal deficit in the first leg and the comeback at home in the second leg, that kind of example is really rare. From a statistical point of view, three goals behind in the first leg The side of the ball is obviously easier to be eliminated. Moreover, the probability of being eliminated is almost [-]%!"

"Judging from the morale performance of Alkmaar's players at this time, I don't see the hope of them scoring another goal and then reversing the comeback in the second round."

"Everyone can see that except for Jiang who is still holding his head stubbornly, the other Alkmaar players are all bowing their heads. Even the temporary coach Junker on the sidelines and other players on the bench, except Jiang Everyone other than Kobayashi is clearly desperate."

"The reason why Jiang didn't despair is probably because he averaged almost 2 goals per game. He may think that with his own ability, he can still score goals and win the two rounds of finals for the team."

"However, I want to say that although the game is not over and there are still about 10 minutes left, it is really difficult for Jiang to score another goal and restore hope for Alkmaar."

"It's not because Jiang is not capable enough, but because of his teammates, the Alkmaar players are already desperate."

"Football is a team sport after all. Even if Jiang wants to score a goal, he needs his teammates to pass the ball and assist him."

"When the teammates are already desperate, do you expect Jiang to score alone? Just like the last time he dribbled the ball from the backcourt to pass four players in a row and scored a long-distance attack?"

"The reason why such a goal is a wonderful goal is because it is difficult to replicate, just as it is now as difficult for Alkmaar to reverse the comeback."

"Basically, we can congratulate Nimegen in advance for getting a ticket to the UEFA Cup next season!"
