Chapter 242 Slack

After the start of the second half, the game seemed a lot more dull, because the Jordan team almost gave up their offense and completely shrunk their defense.

As for the Hua Guo team, with a 3-0 lead, the players seemed to be a little slack and satisfied, and lost the motivation to continue to put pressure on the Jordan team.

After all, this is just a friendly match, not a real world preliminaries, and no major interests are involved.

Anyway, already leading by a large score, there is no need to force the opponent too much.What if the opponent is forced hard and gets injured, which will affect the next real world preliminaries?
Only Jiang Xiaolin maintained the same fighting attitude as in the first half, which made the fans on the scene and in front of the TV talk a lot.

"Look, everyone else is a bit slack, only Jiang Xiaolin is still actively running and looking for opportunities."

"Yeah, the attitude towards the game is different."

"It's no wonder that Jiang Xiaolin can achieve such great success in Europe. Talent aside, the attitude towards friendly matches is very different from that of domestic players."

"Unfortunately, it's useless for Jiang Xiaolin to run alone. His teammates are not active, so it's hard to create opportunities!"

Indeed, facing Jordan's intensive defense, it was really difficult for Jiang Xiaolin alone to create any chances.

Although his dribbling and fried meatballs have a full value of 20 points, it is still difficult to dribble the ball into the penalty area and shoot under the dense defense of the opponent's backcourt.

For example, in the 54th minute, Jiang Xiaolin used fried meatballs and speed to pass two Jordanian team defenders in a row outside the penalty area, and was about to enter the penalty area and kicked a shot, posing a threat.

It's a pity that he used a little force when passing the second player, and the ball was a little too big, and the No.3 player in the opponent's penalty area fell to the ground and shoveled the ball away.

Apart from a personal breakthrough, in the second half, his teammates hardly gave Jiang Xiaolin any decent assists.

On the one hand, everyone has a slack attitude towards the game, and on the other hand, their abilities are limited.

The Chinese Super League is often ridiculed as "rough" by fans because the technical level of domestic players is not good and it is too rough.

When the opponent is heavily defending in the backcourt, the skills, vision, and ability to grasp the timing are very high in order to accurately and properly send the ball to Jiang Xiaolin's feet. The players of the Huaguo team It is still difficult to reach that level.

Even if it happens once in a while, it's a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and it's uncountable.

This made Jiang Xiaolin feel a little uncomfortable playing, and he didn't quite get used to it.

If it is in Alkmaar, even if the opponent piles everyone in the backcourt for intensive defense, Marten Martens, Hamdoy and other teammates are capable of sending him a few good passes.

But these teammates of the Huaguo team can't do it.

This is the gap!

However, for Jiang Xiaolin, the lack of strength of the national football teammates was already in his expectation.

As a Hua Guo fan, Jiang Xiaolin is well aware of the abilities and levels of his national team players.

In the case of a three-goal lead, it is foreseeable that everyone will slack off.

But Jiang Xiaolin will not slack off.

On the one hand, he needs good performance to get a higher system rating. On the other hand, he hopes to use his performance to drive his teammates so that they will not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat. Go, develop good game habits, and prepare for the world preliminaries and even the real World Cup.

Therefore, even though his teammates were not strong enough, and it was difficult for Jiang Xiaolin himself to dribble the ball into the penalty area and shoot, Jiang Xiaolin still did not relax, and continued to actively run and fight in the midfield, hoping to create some good opportunities and try to make progress. ball.

However, it was really difficult for Jiang Xiaolin to perform well in the restricted area.Even with his skills and abilities, it is difficult to get any opportunities in the densely populated Jordan team penalty area.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin began to retreat frequently, squeezing Huang Bowen's space in the front midfielder.

However, there is no center forward in the penalty area to suppress the opponent, so that the Jordan team's central defenders, midfielders, etc. can safely press out to defend Jiang Xiaolin, making it still difficult for Jiang Xiaolin to get too good long-range shots.

Even with an occasional kick, it is difficult to pose too much threat to the goal under the interference of the opponent.

Seeing this, in the 67th minute, the executive head coach Folado finally made a substitution adjustment for the Hua Guo team, replacing Huang Bowen with No. 11 center Han Peng.

After adjustments, Han Peng, who is 185 tall, nailed the Jordan team's penalty area, which could suppress the Jordan team's central defender, making him afraid to boldly press out of the penalty area to defend and interfere with Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin, on the other hand, retreated completely, taking the position of Huang Bowen's front midfielder.

Jiang Xiaolin played the attacking midfielder not to let him organize the attack, but to let him strengthen the long shot outside the penalty area.

This substitution worked well.

At least Jiang Xiaolin didn't have to go into the penalty area frequently, and the center back of the Jordan team was suppressed by Han Peng and dared not boldly rush out of the penalty area to defend Jiang Xiaolin, so that Jiang Xiaolin could get more opportunities to get the ball and shoot in the midfield Naturally, there are more.

Not long after Han Peng came on, in the 72nd minute, Jiang Xiaolin received a pass from Hao Junmin in the space outside the penalty area, and after receiving a pass from Hao Junmin, he dodged the space by smashing the ball and made a powerful shot about 25 meters away from the goal. A long shot from outside the penalty area.

The quality of this shot was quite high, and it could be said to be Jiang Xiaolin's most threatening shot since the second half.

The ball passed through the penalty area like an arrow off the string, and flew towards the left goalpost. The angle was a sign that it was going to fly into the goal against the goalpost.

However, the goalkeeper of the Jordanian team performed exceptionally this time, and even jumped out the moment Jiang Xiaolin kicked, and miraculously saved Jiang Xiaolin's shot past the baseline.

The ensuing corner kick, Hao Junmin, failed to reach Jiang Xiaolin's head, and was cleared by Jordan's defender out of the penalty area.

Although there were no goals in this attack, the fans in the stands were very excited and kept shouting Jiang Xiaolin's name to cheer.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin's long-range shot was so threatening, the Jordan team naturally didn't dare to be careless, and there were still two or three players marking Jiang Xiaolin at any time.

However, after withdrawing from the penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin's range of activities was much wider. Coupled with his speed and off-ball running ability, even if the Jordanian players were cautious, they could not completely freeze Jiang Xiaolin.

Even though some of his teammates were a little slack, Jiang Xiaolin was still able to create opportunities through his continuous efforts.

What's more, not everyone plays negatively.

A few people, like captain Zheng Zhi and Olympic teammate Hao Junmin, are still fighting hard and trying to provide assists for Jiang Xiaolin.
