God of Greenery

In the penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin unexpectedly did not take a shot, but sent the ball to the front and back of Martens on the side of the penalty area with a precise kick. The goalkeeper Babos had no time to think about it, so he could only try his best to attack Matens from the middle The near corner on this side.

A defender on the penalty area line also rushed over, trying to fly to block the hole of the gun and block Martens' shot.

As long as Martens pauses for half a second, the ball may be blocked.

As a result, Jiang Xiaolin's pass was too precise and in place. Jiang Xiaolin passed the ball with a short pass of 20 full value, so that Martens didn't need to stop the ball at all. He ran to the ball and volleyed the ball without stopping. Babos a contrarian.

Since Martens received the ball for the first time, he has actually disrupted Nijmegen's defense in the penalty area.

After Martens received the ball for the first time, he didn't shoot or pass it to Hamdoy. Instead, he passed it in an inverted triangle to Jiang Xiaolin outside the penalty area. In fact, Nimegen's defense was already very confused.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin did not shoot after receiving the pass from Martens outside the penalty area. Instead, he took a feint and then passed the ball back to Martens.

This was a collision with the wall in the dangerous area of ​​the goal, which completely exceeded the expectations of Nijmegen's defenders and goalkeepers.

Everyone didn't think about that at all, and in the end Martens received a pass from Jiang Xiaolin and completed the shot without any interference.

The position where Martens shot from the corner of the small penalty area was too close to the goal. The goalkeeper Babos had no choice but to use his luck to rush to the near corner.

As a result, he made a wrong jump, and Martens hit him the opposite corner.

Babos was already desperate when he saw the ball flying past behind him at a moderate height and angle.

Under the gaze of everyone at the scene and in front of the TV, the ball shot by Martens flew into Nijmegen's goal behind Babos without any suspense.

In the 67th minute of the game, Jiang Xiaolin and Maarten Martens made a wall cooperation inside and outside Nijmegen's penalty area. Finally, Jiang Xiaolin assisted Martens and scored Alkmaar's goal of the game. first goal.

"Wow..."

There was thunderous applause, cheers, shouts, and roars, and all Alkmaar fans inside and outside the stadium stood up and celebrated wildly!

With the passage of time in the second round, when all Alkmaar fans were desperate, Jiang Xiaolin finally assisted Martens to score Alkmaar's first goal of the game.

All the fans suddenly rekindled their hopes, and naturally they had to celebrate this goal.

After Martens scored this goal for Alkmaar, Alkmaar led 1:0 in this game and fell behind with a total score of 3:4, but had two away goals.

As long as Alkmaar scores another goal and the total score becomes 4:4, Alkmaar will eliminate Nijmegen with the advantage of more away goals and qualify for the UEFA Cup next season.

Therefore, the current score is much more subtle than before, greatly increasing Alkmaar's hopes of a comeback.

It's no wonder that all the Alkmaar fans in the stands couldn't help cheering enthusiastically.

On the court, Martens, who scored the goal, was also very excited. He rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with a bomber dive and glide, and then was rushed up by his teammates to celebrate by stacking Arhats.

After the celebration, Martens stood up and gave Jiang Xiaolin a firm hug, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Xiaolin for his assist.

The ball came from Jiang Xiaolin's assist, and he passed it back to Jiang Xiaolin, intending for Jiang Xiaolin to shoot.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin made a false shot, which attracted the attention of Nimegen's goalkeeper and defenders, and then passed the ball back, giving him a better position to shoot.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin's pass angle and strength are very accurate, so that Martens does not need to adjust when receiving the ball, and directly completes the kick shot while running.

For Martens, this is a very comfortable pass assist.

Compared with the ecstatic celebration of Alkmaar fans and players, the pressure on the players and fans of Nijmegen is much greater.

Now the pressure of the game is on Nimegen's side.

It is a completely different state of mind to lead by one ball and lead by two balls.

When leading by two goals, everyone will think in their hearts that even if they are chased by the opponent by one goal, they will still be ahead, and they will have a great sense of psychological security.

However, when the lead becomes only one goal, everyone has no sense of security and becomes very nervous.

Because a one-ball lead is just too insecure.

A one-goal lead is the most insecure lead in football.

There are still more than 20 minutes before the end of the game, and Alkmaar may score a second goal at any time.

As long as they score, Alkmaar will eliminate Nijmegen on away goals with a 4:4 tie on aggregate.

Now the difficult problem facing the head coach of Nimegen is: Should Nimegen continue to stick to his defense and keep the lead of the last ball, or should he go out and try his best to score?
However, without thinking about it for long, the head coach of Nijmegen made a decision.

After all, Alkmaar has two away goals, and now there is not much time left in the game. It is almost impossible for Nijmegen to score more than two away goals at the AFAS Stadium.

So Nimegen can only choose to stick to it, keep the advantage of the last goal, and prevent Alkmaar from scoring again.

If the defense is successful and Alkmaar is not allowed to score again, Nimegen will still eliminate Alkmaar with a total score of 4:3 and qualify for the UEFA Cup next season.

Then, before the celebration in Alkmaar was over, everyone saw that the head coach of Nijmegen made two consecutive substitutions, replacing the two forwards Lens and Helm, and replacing them with two Defensive players almost completely give up the chance to counterattack and score.

Nimegen chose to defend the bus thoroughly and stick to it to the end.

After the game restarted, the game situation between the two sides entered a fever.

On the one hand, it is because Alkmaar sees the hope of a reversal, and on the other hand, Nimegen no longer feels relaxed before.

Now, they are determined not to be defeated by Alkmaar scoring another goal to complete the comeback.

Everyone's fighting was much more intense than before. There were many half-to-half opportunities, and the players on both sides fought desperately.

There have also been more physical conflicts and yellow cards between the two sides.

In the 79th minute, Nijmegen's midfielder Snoll fouled forward Steyn Schals, allowing Alkmaar to win a free kick in the frontcourt.

Jiang Xiaolin's "arc" skill has not been added to the qualified position, so this free kick was taken by Hamdoy, the first free kick free kicker of Alkmaar before.

Hamdoy kicked the ball over the wall and managed to avoid goalkeeper Babos's ten fingers, but he hit the top of the crossbar and popped out of the baseline.

However, the quality of this kind of free kick that can hit the crossbar is still quite high.

Although the goal was missed, it also frightened the players and fans of Nijmegen.

The game continues.

When Nimegen even gave up the forwards and replaced them all with defensive players, their determination to stick to the defense became more thorough.

Whether it was Jiang Xiaolin outside the penalty area, or Martens, Hamdoy and others inside the penalty area, it was already difficult to get any chances.

Nijmegen's half, especially in the 30-meter area of ​​the goal, has accumulated too many players.

Sometimes, even if Jiang Xiaolin, who has full short passing skills, gets the ball, he can't pass it in. He can only pass it to both sides, or to the back, to the two full midfielders, midfielders, and defenders.

However, this also allowed Alkmaar's backcourt players to get some opportunities to kick and shoot.

In the 85th minute, after Jiang Xiaolin got the ball and flicked to the side, David Mendes, who was inserted in the back row, shot a shocking long shot and hit it within the range of the goal frame, almost scoring a goal.

It's a pity that Nijmegen's goalkeeper Babos made a world-class save this time, saving Mendes' shot, which made all Alkmaar people quite a pity.

As time passed, the fans of Nijmegen, who had been tense since the first goal was lost, began to relax and cheered slowly.

It looked like they were about to win.

The more than 14000 Alkmaar fans at the home court have no seats left, and almost all of them stood up to cheer for Alkmaar.

Now, they only need one ball to eliminate their opponents.

Alkmaar is not only a full-back, but even the two central defenders have already overwhelmed the half-court to participate in the attack.

After the two central defenders overwhelmed the half-time, they shared a lot of Nimegen's attention on Jiang Xiaolin.

In the 89th minute, central defender Ragnar Klavan even inserted into the top of the arc of the penalty area from the back row, received a cross from Moussa Dembele and came to the top of the arc of the penalty area. A strong long shot.

Although this long-range shot failed to score a goal, it still made Nimegen's defense a little nervous. He had to devote his energy to focusing on the back row of Klavan and others, and the attention to Jiang Xiaolin was inevitably reduced. .

Time passed slowly, and soon, the regular 90-minute game time ended, and the fourth official held up a sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines.

The players in Nijmegen suddenly felt refreshed.

After being bombarded by Alkmaar for the entire game, they finally saw the dawn of victory soon.

More than 2000 Nijmegen away fans in a corner of the stands also continued to celebrate by waving flags and singing Nijmegen's team song.

There are only 3 minutes left before the end of the game, and most of them think that Nimegen has won.
