God of Greenery

After more than 20 minutes of a stalemate between the Chinese team and Australia, at the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, Jiang Xiaolin broke through with the ball himself.

After he passed the first opponent with speed, he was going to pass the second opponent with fried meatballs.

Originally, he was going to succeed. Breaking through the past can enter the penalty area, and the chances of shooting and scoring can be greatly increased.

Unexpectedly, the Australian defender Milligan, who was about to break through, reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiaolin tightly.

The inertia of Jiang Xiaolin's forward rush and the strength of his opponent's pull back caused Jiang Xiaolin to fall on his back.

The sharp whistle sounded, and the referee rushed over and gave Milligan a yellow card, and then gave Hua Guo a free kick to the right of the front of the penalty area.

This free kick is a bit close to the penalty area line, about 22 meters away from the goal. If you don't know how to hit an arc, you will definitely not be able to hit it.

Unless you are lucky enough to break through the human wall.

It is unreliable to pin your hopes on gaps in the human wall. The best way is to hit the goal with an arc free kick.

Naturally, it was Jiang Xiaolin who took the free kick.

He has increased his arc skill attribute to 18 points.

With this level of "arc" skills, Jiang Xiaolin can already guarantee that he can hit an arc, but he still can't accurately grasp the degree of the arc.

For example, if you hit a close angle, the shooting angle should be a little bit outside, and if the arc is not enough, it may miss the post.

And the shooting angle is a little bit inward, and the arc is too large, and it will go to the middle of the goal frame, which is almost sent to the goalkeeper's arms.

Therefore, it is very important to grasp the degree of the arc. Jiang Xiaolin, whose "arc" attribute is only 18 points, is still not perfect.

But there is a word called labor play.

If the on-the-spot performance is good, the 18-point attribute is enough for Jiang Xiaolin to accurately control the landing point, and send the ball around the wall into the opponent's dead corner.

Therefore, after the referee blew the whistle for a free throw, Jiang Xiaolin didn't move, but paused for two or three seconds, checked the penalty spot, the position of the wall, the position of the goalkeeper, etc., and then started the run-up .

After the five-step run-up, Jiang Xiaolin stood still with his left foot, slammed his right foot on the middle and lower part of the ball, and then pulled it sideways. The ball flew into the air and flew past the right side of the wall.

The Australian player on the far right of the wall stretched his neck trying to reach the ball to make a clearance, but the ball still flew past his scalp without being touched by him.

After the ball crossed the wall, it drew an arc in the air, and then turned towards the goal frame.

The goalkeeper Villafi, who was standing at the far end of the goal, predicted that Jiang Xiaolin's free kick would be at the near corner, so he had already started to move before Jiang Xiaolin touched the ball.

When he saw that the ball was really heading towards the near corner, Villafi felt a little excited, thinking that he had judged the direction of the opponent's attack, and he had a great hope of saving the ball.

Unexpectedly, the quality of Jiang Xiaolin's free kick was too high.

Not only did the ball just scrape the scalp of the wall and flew over, but the arc also just went around the door frame, and the height just fell on the lower edge of the crossbar.

In the end, what everyone saw was that after Jiang Xiaolin's free kick took an arc, it almost brushed the intersection of the crossbar and the post at the near end and drilled into the goal.

It was almost a theoretical dead-end shot.

Although Villafi judged the right direction, he ran over from the far corner to make a save and could not take off on the spot.

Therefore, in the end, he failed to reach the height of the ball's flight, and could only watch the ball drill into the goal from the top of his palm against the dead corner.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Jiang Xiaolin scored a direct free kick to score twice and helped the Hua Guo team lead Australia 2-1 again.

The commentator of GuoTV Sports Channel suddenly jumped up from the stool and shouted excitedly:

"Pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored a beautiful direct free kick!"

"The power, speed, and angle of this ball are all perfect, impeccable!"

"The saying that Jiang Xiaolin can't hit a curveball or take free kicks can be put to rest!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored twice again!"

"Against a strong enemy like Australia, can Jiang Xiaolin also perform a hat-trick? Let us wait and see!"

Originally, the fans in the friendly match did not celebrate very intensely, as they did in the first two friendly matches.

But this beautiful free kick blew up the stadium, tens of thousands of spectators stood up and applauded Jiang Xiaolin.

If Jiang Xiaolin can maintain this level of free kicks, wouldn't Jiang Xiaolin be able to threaten the opponent's goal as long as there is a free kick in the Olympic Games?
In modern football, set kicks are a very important means of scoring.Especially for underdogs like the Hua Guo team, it can become a sharp weapon and a killer for scoring.

No wonder everyone cheered excitedly.

Not only because the goal was scored beautifully, but also because everyone saw the hope of the Chinese team making a breakthrough in the Olympics.

The teammates were also very excited, and they all gathered around to celebrate with Jiang Xiaolin.

With a free kick expert like Jiang Xiaolin, everyone has much more confidence in the journey to the Olympics.

Originally, the time for Jiang Xiaolin to score was already close to 45 minutes. If everyone celebrated for a while, the time had already exceeded 45 minutes.

Therefore, not long after the game restarted, without waiting for Australia to tie the score again, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 2-1. The Olympic team is temporarily ahead.

During the intermission, Yin Tiesheng praised Jiang Xiaolin's free kick, and then asked the players to make more breakthroughs in the second half, trying to make more free kicks for Jiang Xiaolin to take the penalty.

This is to make full use of Jiang Xiaolin's ability to take free kicks.

Everyone readily agreed.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The Hua Guo team began to strengthen personal breakthroughs in accordance with the instructions of the head coach, striving for more free kicks.

It's a pity that Australia is not a fool. After seeing Jiang Xiaolin score such a free kick in the first half, he paid great attention to the foul spot in the second half.

Only in the midfield or the wing far from the goal, Australia will foul Chinese players and send free kicks.

But within 30 meters of the front goal of the penalty area, the Australian players are quite cautious.Unless they are forced to and the threat is too great, generally they will not foul easily.

The usual handling is to use their body and speed to compete with the Hua Guo team, but they will not foul people.

In this way, after the opening 20 minutes of the second half, the Huaguo team has not yet won a threatening free kick.

There was once a free kick that was far away, but although Jiang Xiaolin hit it within the range of the goal frame, it was far away, giving the goalkeeper enough time to react, and was confiscated by the goalkeeper in the end, failing to score.

The Hua Guo team was obsessed with personal breakthroughs and wanted to create a free kick. As a result, not only failed to create another free kick, but was counterattacked by Australia in the 67th minute.

This was Wang Yongpo's breakthrough with the ball. After being intercepted by the opponent, he directly passed a long pass. Australian forward Bridge successfully reversed offside and received the ball at the front of the penalty area of ​​the Hua Guo team to form a single goal.

Although Qiu Shengjiong attacked in time and tried his best to block, Bridge volleyed the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Australia tenaciously equalized the score again, and the score was tied at 2-2.

The players of the Hua Guo team just woke up like a dream, and they didn't dare to indulge in personal breakthroughs anymore.

Not to mention the Hua Guo team, most players in the world football are difficult to rely on personal breakthroughs to create threats, and most teams that are obsessed with individual performance will suffer strong counterattacks from the opponent.

The conceded goal of the Huaguo team speaks for itself.

Next, the game between the two sides returned to normal. Only Jiang Xiaolin, with his perfect dribbling and speed, fried meatballs, etc., tried to break through his opponent more often.

Although he knew Jiang Xiaolin's intentions, Jiang Xiaolin's personal strength was too strong for anyone in Australia to block him. Generally, two or three people were required to closely guard or assist in defense to stop Jiang Xiaolin's attack.

In the 72nd minute, Jiang Xiaolin finally succeeded in breaking through to make the opponent foul at the front of the penalty area and won a free kick for himself.

It's a pity that his "arc" skill has not yet reached full value, and he can't control it freely. This time, the arc of the shot was a little bit off. In the end, although the ball crossed the wall, it hit the outside of the goal post and popped out of the baseline.

This proves that it is unreliable to completely pin your hopes on free kicks, and you can only follow the fate.

Next, the coaches of both sides made substitutions and put on some substitutes.

Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates no longer pursue free kicks.

In the 78th minute, Hao Junmin made a cross from the side, and Jiang Xiaolin followed up with a header from the middle and almost scored again.

It's a pity that the Australian goalkeeper Villafi played super long this time, and even saved Jiang Xiaolin's ball to the right post.

The Huaguo fans who had already stood up and prepared to celebrate could only sigh.

The subsequent corner kick Hao Junmin did not pass well, and went directly wide of the baseline, wasting this corner kick opportunity.

The game continues.

Both sides did not shrink the defense, but fooled the offense and defense, both wanted to score a goal in the last time to seal the victory, and no one was reconciled to a draw.

What the Huaguo team is not reconciled to is that they have a super shooter like Jiang Xiaolin, and they deserve to win in terms of score.

What Australia is not reconciled to is that they are stronger and have a higher ranking in FIFA, so they should win.

Both sides have this idea, making the game more intense as it approaches the end.

In the 82nd minute, Australia won a free kick from the wing, which caused confusion among the players on both sides after passing into the penalty area.

An Australian midfielder pokes the ball in the midst of the scrambles and almost creates a goal.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong was very focused and reacted very quickly. He even caught the ball, threw it on the post and bounced back to the penalty area, and then was kicked out of the penalty area by defender Tan Wangsong to clear the siege.

Only 2 minutes later, the Huaguo team responded.

The full-back Yuan Weiwei suddenly put in an assist, and did not make another bottom about 20 from the bottom line, but suddenly made a ground cross.

Three Australian players were led by Jiang Xiaolin into the penalty area, ready to meet Yuan Weiwei's wide cross.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Weiwei did not do this, but passed a cross from the ground outside the penalty area, which just passed Jiang Xiaolin and the defenders.

Zheng Zhi, who was plugged in from the back row, appeared in front of the ball at the right time, and shot at the ball at the top of the penalty area. The ball passed through the penalty area like a sharp arrow and flew towards Australia's goal.

Goalkeeper Villafi tried his best to make a save, but in the end he couldn't prevent the goal.

The ball slid into Australia's goal against the post.

Relying on Yuan Weiwei's sudden assist and Zheng Zhi's back row shot, the Hua Guo team finally scored again to lead Australia 3-2.

After scoring the goal, Zheng Zhi ran to the sidelines to celebrate very excitedly, other players also ran over to join in, and the fans in the stands were also very excited to applaud and celebrate.

After the game restarted, Australia, which fell behind again, was naturally unwilling to lose.

They fell behind twice and equalized twice. They thought that the game was not over yet, and they still had time to equalize or even overtake the score.

Therefore, in the last few minutes, Australia almost came out in full force, trying to use the overall offense to overwhelm the Hua Guo team's defense and score goals.

However, the Hua Guo team's defense is not paper.

With the same double midfielder configuration as the adult national team, and two experienced veterans Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng leading the defense, it is not easy for Australia to break through the Hua Guo team's defense.

What's more, when encountering free kicks and corner kicks, Jiang Xiaolin will return to the penalty area to participate in the defense. Australia's header attack has limited effect on the Chinese team.

In the 89th minute, Australia got the best chance. Their winger successfully broke through the Hua Guo team's side defense and made a pass from the bottom, which caused some confusion in the Hua Guo team's penalty area. Poked to the feet of Australian striker Troy West in the corner of the penalty area.

Originally, this was a very good shot opportunity, because the goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong was still in the middle of the goal.

The result may be that the sudden opportunity made Troisi panic, and even kicked the ball out of the baseline, not even hitting it within the range of the goal frame.

It was Australia's closest chance to score before the end of the game.

After squandering this opportunity, Australia has never encountered such a good opportunity again.

On the other hand, the Hua Guo team, limited by their overall strength, failed to break through Australia's goal again.

Only Jiang Xiaolin can occasionally threaten the opponent's half court with his own speed and dribbling breakthrough, but it is difficult to successfully break through the frontcourt to form a direct threat to the goal.

Finally, after 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the Hua Guo team won the third warm-up match in July with a score of 3-2.

Jiang Xiaolin got 2 goals 2000 + winning 2000 = a total of 4000 basic experience in this game.

In terms of performance rating, Jiang Xiaolin was rated as good by the system, with a rating coefficient of 2.

In the end, Jiang Xiaolin's final experience was 4000*2=8000 experience.

Adding the previous training experience, Jiang Xiaolin's level experience rose to level 17, 25.59/30.
