God of Greenery

Kerkrade, the Alkmaar team who just arrived at the away hotel also got the news that Jiang Xiaolin was selected as a candidate for the European Golden Boy Award and has a high probability of winning.

Everyone quickly went to the front desk of the hotel to get the newspaper, confirmed the news, congratulated Jiang Xiaolin one after another, and asked Jiang Xiaolin to treat him.

Jiang Xiaolin was also very happy, and naturally agreed without hesitation, saying that he would treat everyone to the most delicious Chinese food after returning to Alkmaar.

就是在这样的欢乐气氛中，10月29日晚上20:00，阿尔克马尔客场对阵罗达JC的荷甲第8轮比赛在罗达JC的主场林堡公园球场正式开始。

Jiang Xiaolin still did not start this game.

Although he staged the most perfect comeback in the last game, scoring a goal within 2 minutes of coming off the bench, Van Gaal was still very cautious and did not overuse him.

Although Jiang Xiaolin himself wanted to start, Van Gaal did not agree in the end. He only said that there was a chance to let him play again in the second half, and the playing time should be earlier than the previous game.

在这一轮比赛之前，阿尔克马尔5胜2负积15分位列积分榜第三，但距离积分榜No.1只差1分。

Because the first and second places in the standings have only 16 points, but Groningen occupies the top position because of the advantage of goal difference, and Breda ranks second.

Therefore, if Alkmaar wins this game, as long as Groningen and Breda do not win, Alkmaar may reverse the standings and rise to the top position.

Even if one of the two teams wins and the other doesn't, Alkmaar will move up one place to take one of the places.

Step by step, there will be a day when we surpass our competitors.

The premise is to keep winning.

In this regard, Alkmaar is absolutely confident.

Although this game is an away game, it is not easy to play, but the opponent is not strong.

Roda JC has only achieved a poor record of 7 win, 1 draws and 3 losses in 3 rounds of the league this season. Compared with Alkmaar's current five-game winning streak in the league, it can be said to be in stark contrast.

Alkmaar's players have absolute confidence to win the game.

What's more, Jiang Xiaolin is still sitting on the bench!

Through the observation of the last game and daily training, everyone has confirmed that Jiang Xiaolin must have fully recovered to his peak state.

Jiang Xiaolin like this is simply a god blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha!

The game really went as everyone expected.

Although Rhoda JC is playing at home, the offense is weak and the defense is full of loopholes.Even if the shooting skills of the starting players are not as good as Jiang Xiaolin's, there are so many shooting opportunities!
At the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was 0-1, and Alkmaar, who played away, took the lead.

However, neither Hamdoy nor Ali scored the goal, but centre-back Ragnar Klavan scored the first point in a corner kick.

Although leading the score, Van Gaal was not very satisfied at halftime.

However, he didn't use Jiang Xiaolin either. After all, it was still early. He just ordered everyone to step up their offensive in the second half.

In the second half, Alkmaar continued to take the initiative to attack aggressively, trying to break through Roda JC's goal early and seal the victory.

However, the two forwards are not very strong, and their shooting skills are not as good as Jiang Xiaolin's.

Moreover, both of them lacked some shooting luck today.

In the 52nd minute, Hamdoy received a wonderful pass from forward Styne Schals in the penalty area and missed the post with a kick.

In the 58th minute, when Marten Martens took a long shot from outside the penalty area and caused the goalkeeper to make a save and the ball fell in front of him, he kicked in the penalty area close to the goal and kicked the ball Flew off the crossbar.

Missing this excellent chance to make a supplementary goal made the head coach van Gaaldun furious, and his patience with Ali finally reached its limit.

So, Van Gaal called Jiang Xiaolin on the bench and told him to warm up.

Jiang Xiaolin jumped up immediately, ran to the sidelines to warm up, and was always ready to play.

Ali on the court naturally also saw this scene, and his face was quite ugly.

In the last game, Van Gaal replaced Hamdoy with Jiang Xiaolin, but in this game, he felt that the head coach must have Jiang Xiaolin replace him.

After all, the time when Van Gaal asked Jiang Xiaolin to warm up was after he missed the close shot in front of the goal.

Therefore, Ali became anxious and frequently asked his teammates for the ball to shoot.

Before Jiang Xiaolin returned, Ali was one of the team's main strikers after all, and everyone had a good relationship.

As a result, the teammates who couldn't save face began to pass the ball to Ali as much as possible when the time allowed, and let him shoot.

The result is that the more you want to score, the more you can't score.

In just four or five minutes, Ali got three shots. As a result, he missed the post once, was kicked off the crossbar by the opponent's interference, and was blocked by the opponent's defender flying to block the hole. He didn't even have a threatening shot. Appear.

Such a situation naturally made Van Gaal completely sentence Ali to death.

After warming up, Jiang Xiaolin was called back to the sidelines to give some instructions, and Van Gaal asked the fourth official to play the substitution sign. No. 29 Ali went off and No. 9 Jiang Xiaolin came on.

More than 1000 Alkmaar fans or overseas Chinese fans who accompanied the team on the away game burst into applause and warmly welcomed Jiang Xiaolin's appearance.

Of course, the fans of Rhoda JC booed enthusiastically.

Obviously, the fans of Roda JC, who scored 7 goals in the league and the UEFA Cup play-offs last season, were deeply impressed by Jiang Xiaolin and gradually hated him.

But no matter how much they booed, they couldn't stop Jiang Xiaolin from appearing.

In the 63rd minute, Alkmaar completed the substitution and Jiang Xiaolin made his debut.

This time Jiang Xiaolin didn't add any skills. After all, the last time he added skills was three days ago, so he couldn't add them too fast.

After Jiang Xiaolin came on the field, Alkmaar suddenly looked different.

Before Jiang Xiaolin came on the field, Alkmaar's offense was a bit fragmented. The midfielder could shoot himself or pass the ball.

Forwards Hamdoy and Ali will try to shoot themselves if they get the ball, and rarely pass the ball to each other.

But after Jiang Xiaolin came on the field, whether it was the midfielder or the other forward Hamdoy, they all immediately regarded Jiang Xiaolin as the backbone and the end point of the attack, and turned into green leaves one after another, assisting Jiang Xiaolin.

Because Jiang Xiaolin has this strength and ability, it is worth them doing so.

Not only will they not reduce their performance opportunities because of Jiang Xiaolin's appearance, but they will get more assists because of Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills.

In the 65th minute, Hamdoy almost crossed to assist Jiang Xiaolin to score a goal. Unfortunately, his pass was a little too big, and was intercepted by Roda JC's defender Sargis in advance with a sliding tackle and cleared out of the penalty area.

If the ball rolled in front of Jiang Xiaolin, it would definitely be another threatening shot.

Although no shot was formed, Hamdoy's thinking was good, and Jiang Xiaolin also gave him a thumbs up.

After that, Jiang Xiaolin continued to threaten Luoda JC's penalty area with his pervasive speed, body, and ability to grab points.

JC Luoda naturally knew how powerful Jiang Xiaolin was, so he also sent people to carry out extremely targeted close-up marking.

However, Jiang Xiaolin is now very different from last season.

After the world preliminaries and the Olympic Games, Jiang Xiaolin has gained many skills, which is very different from the last season when Roda JC met Jiang Xiaolin, and he is much stronger.

For example, free kicks, Jiang Xiaolin, who has perfect arc skills at this time, is much more threatening than last season.

Even though Roda JC players knew this, they were still hard to guard against.

Because, if you don't foul, it is possible for your opponent to enter the penalty area and create a greater threat.

Therefore, in the 69th minute, when the forward midfielder Martens Martens used his own skills to connect two people outside the penalty area and was about to enter the penalty area, Roda JC's defender had to pull Martens outside the penalty area.

As Marten Martens fell to the ground, the referee sounded a sharp whistle, and Alkmaar won a free kick at the front of the penalty area. Regardless of the position, distance, or angle, it is very suitable for a direct free kick.

Originally, the team's first free kick shooter was Hamdoy, but now that Jiang Xiaolin has returned, after showing almost the same scoring rate as penalty kicks in training, Hamdoy can only abdicate .

Jiang Xiaolin took the free kick.

Roda JC's players and head coaches are not as sticky as Volendam's player-coaches.

At least, they had studied Jiang Xiaolin before this match.Jiang Xiaolin's free kick in the Olympic Games is naturally also the object of their research.

Therefore, seeing Jiang Xiaolin taking the free kick, Roda JC's goalkeeper Conor became nervous and dispatched a six-person wall lineup, trying to completely block Jiang Xiaolin's angle of attack.

But in fact, everyone knows that with Jiang Xiaolin's current ability to take arc free kicks, no matter how many people there are, it's useless.

Unless everyone lining up the wall is the height of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, perhaps it will be able to hinder Jiang Xiaolin's free kick to a certain extent.

After the goalkeeper finally commanded the wall to stand up and gave himself a little comfort, he stood tremblingly at the far end of the goal, waiting for Jiang Xiaolin's shot.

However, the position of the goalkeeper station is not an absolute sense of the far end.Strictly speaking, it should be in the middle of the goal.

Jiang Xiaolin noticed this keenly.

Because in the previous record of Jiang Xiaolin's free kick shots, almost 80% of them were from close corners.

Therefore, this time, the opponent's goalkeeper Conor obviously subconsciously thought that Jiang Xiaolin would hit the close corner, so he was not standing at the far end, but in the middle, closer to the near corner.

Perhaps, he thought that this would reduce the time and distance he needed to save, making it easier to save Jiang Xiaolin's shot from the near corner?

After discovering this, Jiang Xiaolin naturally changed his mind about hitting the close corner.

After the referee blew the whistle for a free throw, Jiang Xiaolin ran up a few steps, and then kicked the ball suddenly.

Everyone in the crowd jumped up, ready to try their best to destroy Jiang Xiaolin's shot.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin's ball didn't fly over any of them at all, but flew directly to the far end of the goal.

The goalkeeper, Conor, jumped towards the near corner the moment Jiang Xiaolin kicked.

By the time he discovered that Jiang Xiaolin's shot was not aimed at the near corner, but at the far corner, it was already too late.

The center of gravity of jumping towards the near corner made it impossible for him to jump back, so he froze in place, and then watched helplessly as the ball crossed an arc and flew into the goal against the far post.

The narrator roared instantly:
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The goal has been scored, and Jiang Xiaolin has scored again!"

"Jiang scored a wonderful direct free kick. Goalkeeper Conor didn't even make a save, just watched the ball go into the net."

"Jiang Xiaolin, who has returned to the club, has come off the bench for two consecutive games and scored goals."

"Alkmaar leads Roda JC at home 2-0 away."

The more than 1 Roda JC fans in the stands were silent, and only more than 1000 Alkmaar fans who traveled with the team to the away game applauded and cheered in the stands. They scored for the team's two-goal lead and for Jiang Xiaolin's consecutive substitute appearances. And celebrate.

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin was also very happy. He hugged and high-fived with his teammates for a long time before returning to his own half to wait for the opponent to kick off.

After the game resumed, Roda JC, who played at home, was naturally unwilling to lose, and launched a strong offensive to the hinterland of Alkmaar.

However, in view of Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack ability, they still kept three or four defenders in their own half to prevent Jiang Xiaolin and Hamdoy from counterattacking.

In the 74th minute, Jiang Xiaolin almost got the ball offside again, but was forcibly pulled down by defender Di Fahe from behind.

Although Di Fahe received a yellow card and gave Alkmaar a free kick, the free kick was still far from the goal, and it was still a good deal. Jiang Xiaolin did not succeed in offside and got the ball to form a single goal.

However, as Alkmaar, who can compete for the Eredivisie championship, there is still a difference in strength from the Huaguo team.

When Jiang Xiaolin's Huaguo Olympic team played in the Olympics, they basically had to stay behind and defend. Occasionally, they kicked the ball into the frontcourt like luck, and let Jiang Xiaolin grab it.

But Alkmaar is not like this. They have enough strength to control the ball at their own feet, and then send it to the frontcourt. They don't need to be lucky and let Jiang Xiaolin grab it.

In the 81st minute, it was useless for Jiang Xiaolin to participate. The winger Moussa Dembele, the midfielder Marten Martens, and the forward Hamdoy passed the ball continuously to the left side of the frontcourt. Dembele made a bottom pass from the left and passed the ball into the penalty area.

It was Jiang Xiaolin's turn to appear at this time.

He rushed into the penalty area with full off-the-ball running and grabbing ability, firmly occupied the ball's landing point, jumped high, and shook his head to attack the goal.

Even under the pull and collision of the opponent's defender, Jiang Xiaolin's strong physique and full balance ability allowed Jiang Xiaolin to stabilize his figure in the air and complete the header.
