God of Greenery

Jiang Xiaolin's silence in the first half, Alkmaar's overall sluggish performance, and Gareth Bale's first goal for Tottenham really made all Alkmaar players a little depressed.

You know, this is their home field.

They are also the top team in the Eredivisie and have won ten consecutive victories in the league.

No matter how the Eredivisie declines, it won't mean that the top team won't even be able to win a team in the bottom of the Premier League this season's standings at home, right?
Now, Jiang Xiaolin finally scored Alkmaar's first goal and equalized the score for the team.

Therefore, after Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal, he rushed to the sidelines and shouted to celebrate, Martens, Hamdoy and other teammates also rushed up, excitedly pulled Jiang Xiaolin down, pressed him down and stacked arhats to celebrate.

On the other hand, the Tottenham Hotspur players looked more depressed.

Their restrictions on Jiang Xiaolin and even the entire Alkmaar team in the first half were considered successful, and they did not allow Jiang Xiaolin and other Alkmaar players to catch many opportunities.

This made them look down on AZ Alkmaar, thinking that the Eredivisie had really fallen, and even the top team was only at this level. It was a waste of their analysis of Jiang Xiaolin before the game, and arranged key marking tasks.

Unexpectedly, in the real game, Alkmaar performed like this.

As for Jiang Xiaolin, he hardly performed well under their restrictions.

On the contrary, Gareth Bale, who is also on the shortlist for the Golden Boy Award but has almost zero possibility of being a future player, seems to have performed much better than Jiang Xiaolin, as evidenced by his goal in the 37th minute.

Just when everyone was thinking about whether it is possible to assist Bell more and let him score more goals. On the one hand, he won the game, and on the other hand, it also allowed Bell to participate in the final competition for the Golden Boy Award with a better performance.

Moreover, even if there is no goal, seeing that the first half of the game is about to end, everyone is very relaxed, thinking that they will enter the intermission with a 1-0 lead in the away game.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin broke out suddenly, and only 5 minutes after Bell scored, he scored a goal for Alkmaar and equalized the score.

Everyone felt as if the fruit they got was taken away by someone, so it's no wonder that they were depressed.

However, they did not go to protest Alkmaar's celebration time was too long.Anyway, if they can score 1-1 in the end, they can accept it.

Jiang Xiaolin and the others who were caught up in excitement naturally didn't think about the issue of time at this time. Everyone just celebrated enthusiastically and vented their excitement and depression.

The celebration lasted for more than half a minute. Finally, the referee couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward to intervene, ended the celebration by Jiang Xiaolin and others, and returned to his own half to let Tottenham kick the ball in the middle.

After the game restarted, Alkmaar's morale was naturally boosted.Even though there was not much time left in the first half, Alkmaar still attacked Tottenham's half and even the penalty area.

After Jiang Xiaolin figured out the joints that need to handle the ball faster and more decisively in the European competition, Jiang Xiaolin's performance suddenly became much more active.

Especially the goal just now proved Jiang Xiaolin's thoughts and made Jiang Xiaolin more confident and determined.

Even in the last two or three minutes, Jiang Xiaolin threatened Tottenham's goal.

When the game entered stoppage time after more than 45 minutes, Jiang Xiaolin once dribbled the ball about 30 meters away from the goal on the right side of the front of the penalty area. goal space.

So, in the process of dribbling, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly stepped out of the gap and took a shot. With a violent long shot, he kicked the ball to the far corner of the goal.

Jiang Xiaolin himself is a full-scale shooting skill, and later he acquired the "long-range shot" skill and added it to the full value. Even if he kicked a long-range shot from 30 meters away, Jiang Xiaolin still hit the ball on the goal frame Within the range, and the angle is also quite tricky.

It's a pity that Jiang Xiaolin's long-range shot was powerful enough, but after all, he didn't hit a super long-range shot exceeding 100 km/h, and the speed was still a bit slow.

Because of the distance, Tottenham's goalkeeper Gomez had enough time to make a save, and finally managed to hold the ball out of the crossbar.

Even so, Jiang Xiaolin's shot made the Alkmaar fans in the stands very excited, and it also made the Tottenham players and fans break into a cold sweat.

Everyone can see that Jiang Xiaolin at this time has undergone a major change compared to before Gareth Bale's goal. He is much more active and threatening than before.

The fans of Alkmaar suddenly became more confident, and they kept shouting Jiang Xiaolin's name in the stands to cheer him on.

Even if the goal was not scored, everyone responded with warm applause and cheers, cheering for Jiang Xiaolin.

On the other hand, Tottenham, whether it is the coach, the players, or the fans, all seem to be much more cautious.

This kind of Jiang Xiaolin did seem to be much more powerful than Gareth Bell, which made them feel deeply threatened.

Fortunately, the time for the first half of the game is running out.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half shortly after Alkmaar sent the corner kick and failed to grab the first point. , the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-1.

During the intermission, Jiang Xiaolin talked about his feelings to his teammates in the locker room.

In fact, as a world-renowned coach, Van Gaal has long instilled in the players the view that the pace of European games is faster, so that everyone can pay attention.

But sometimes things are like this. If you don't experience and comprehend things yourself, no matter how much others say, you don't have personal feelings, and you can't do it.

Just like learning technology, in fact, many things are taught by the teacher, but the students may not remember what the teacher said, nor may they be able to do it.After all, that's just a linguistic, abstract concept.

Only when students do it by themselves, experiment, feel it, or even be directly hit by failure, and successfully operate it many times in person, can they truly learn the techniques that the teacher has taught countless times.

For example, when learning to drive, no matter what the coach says, how many times he tells, what to do and how to do it, it is useless.

Only after the trainees drive by themselves and practice many times, or even drive on the road by themselves for half a year, a year, or a few years, have several accidents and experience the consequences of irregular operation, can the things taught by the coach become truly useful to them thing.

Jiang Xiaolin's previous situation was like this. Although the head coach Van Gaal reminded the whole team of the problem that the pace of the European competition is faster than that of the Eredivisie before the game, Jiang Xiaolin has not experienced it personally, so naturally he has no feeling.

This is just Jiang Xiaolin's first European match.

Jiang Xiaolin was able to react after Gareth Bale's goal, and it was indeed a very fast reaction.

It is much better than the performance of some other players who lost everyone because they couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the European war.Perhaps, as Professor Alfred said, the result of Jiang Xiaolin's gene returning to his ancestors is to become the most suitable person to play football.

The understanding of Jiang Xiaolin was naturally welcomed by the whole team. Van Gaal expressed his appreciation and asked everyone to strengthen cooperation with Jiang Xiaolin in the second half to create chances for Jiang Xiaolin to shoot.

However, if Tottenham's restrictions on Jiang Xiaolin are too strict, Jiang Xiaolin should not pursue shooting. He can use his passing skills to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

There is no doubt that Jiang Xiaolin has now become Alkmaar's super thigh, and his performance is directly related to Alkmaar's game results.

Prior to this, I am afraid that neither the Chinese nor the Europeans would have thought of the possibility of a Chinese player becoming the offensive core of the top team in the Eredivisie.

And now, it really happened.

Although the score in the first half was only 1-1, after Jiang Xiaolin talked about his feelings during the intermission, everyone was full of confidence in the second half of the game.

Before, I was worried about losing, but now everyone is very confident in winning.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin can personally understand the difference between the European competition and the league, and turn the corner by himself, with Jiang Xiaolin's skills and strength, even if Tottenham come from the most competitive Premier League in the five major leagues, Jiang Xiaolin can easily score goals.

After all, Tottenham's actual ranking this season is just the lower reaches of the Premier League, not super giants like Manchester United and Arsenal.

The whole Alkmaar team is full of confidence and anticipation for the second half of the game. They are looking forward to continuing to score goals under the leadership of Jiang Xiaolin, reversing Tottenham, and winning the UEFA Cup for the first time this season, laying the foundation for the group qualifying. solid foundation.

On the other side of the locker room, it seemed a little quiet.

Jiang Xiaolin's goal shattered everyone's arrogance and underestimation of the enemy. Everyone really realized that Jiang Xiaolin was not in vain, and Alkmaar was not really weak. It was just that he didn't play well in the first half.

When Jiang Xiaolin played normally, Tottenham's defense became a little difficult to parry.

Although their defense is very tough, Jiang Xiaolin's genetically atavistic physical fitness is very good, he is not lacking in height and weight, and Jiang Xiaolin still has a full-scale physique and balance ability.

It could even be said that in a one-on-one collision, even a player who was heavier than Jiang Xiaolin couldn't hit him!
Unless it is really heavyweight in height and weight, leading Jiang Xiaolin by a lot, maybe he can beat Jiang Xiaolin.

Under normal circumstances, judging from Jiang Xiaolin's performance in the last few minutes of the first half, Tottenham's method of using only one man to mark and the others to help defend could no longer restrain Jiang Xiaolin.

Therefore, the head coach of Tottenham made more detailed arrangements and reminders for the team's tactics in the second half, especially how to restrict Jiang Xiaolin, during the intermission, so that everyone must restrain Jiang Xiaolin in the second half.

As for the offense, it is natural to leave it to the two wingers.

Tottenham's two wings still have a certain advantage over Alkmaar, and they have every chance to form a breakthrough from the wing and create opportunities for bottom crosses.

The central center Pavlyuchenko also has an advantage in height and ability to grab points. As long as the bottom pass is successful, Tottenham is not without the possibility of continuing to score goals.

The tactics of both sides were rearranged. After resting for more than ten minutes, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the second half Tottenham Hotspur still continued their defensive counterattack strategy, and defended more deeply and resolutely.

Because Jiang Xiaolin's threat was greater than in the first half, Tottenham naturally did not dare to be careless and simply made their defense stronger to avoid being attacked by Jiang Xiaolin again.

As for the offense, it is entirely up to luck.

Tottenham's midfielder Didier Zokola is actually an excellent offensive and defensive talent who can play both front and back.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Zokola appeared more in the backcourt, forming a double midfielder with Tom Huddlestone to protect the penalty area and the back line.

Then, striker Darren Bent retreated and played a guest attack, leaving Pavlyuchenko alone.

In fact, if you play a defensive counterattack, there are fast and skilled full-backs on both sides. When counterattacking, you only need a center forward as a fulcrum to grab points or make the ball.

Pavlyuchenko can accomplish this task very well, and Darren Bent usually grabs the second point as a shadow striker.

Now let him retreat and play as a front midfielder, the impact is not very big.

Anyway, the first thing Tottenham must guarantee is their own defense.

On Alkmaar's side, after Jiang Xiaolin figured out his joints and became active, everyone's morale was naturally higher, and they aggressively pressed the offense, trying to score another goal and reverse the score.

As for the threat of the other party's counterattack, they can't care so much for the time being.

On the one hand, Alkmaar must strive for victory. On the other hand, Tottenham's two full-backs cannot match Jiang Xiaolin's superb passing skills, and center Pavlyuchenko's header and spot-grabbing skills cannot match Jiang Xiaolin Kobayashi.

Regardless of any team, even if it is from the Premier League, the probability of scoring a goal with a long pass has always been low.

Otherwise, many wealthy teams would not always attack from the center instead of playing simple crosses from the side, because the scoring rate like that is too low, and it depends more on luck.

Therefore, except for the two central defenders and the defensive midfielder, Alkmaar pressed the whole team from the beginning of the second half, and the two full-backs began to take turns to insert assists.

Everyone is focused on scoring goals and reversing the score as soon as possible, so that they can take the initiative in the game.

The key point of the attack, of course, was Jiang Xiaolin.

In the second half, Jiang Xiaolin also became more and more adapted to the game, and his threat became bigger and bigger.

Although Tottenham often had two or three people double-team Jiang Xiaolin, but Jiang Xiaolin's various skills were too many and too superb, and Tottenham could not be surrounded or defended.

For example, Jiang Xiaolin's off-the-ball running position combined with grabbing points and speed caused Tottenham players to be thrown away by Jiang Xiaolin if he didn't pay attention when Jiang Xiaolin changed directions and sprinted, and couldn't keep up with his speed and rhythm.

Another example is Jiang Xiaolin's full physique. Even if he is closely marked by Tottenham players, Jiang Xiaolin can occupy a more favorable position with his physical fitness. Grab the ball.

Finally, regarding Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills and long-range shots, stopping the ball, passing and receiving abilities, etc., it made the Tottenham players defenseless.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-value dribbling allows him to dribble the ball with ease, and he will not be easily snatched or stabbed by his opponent.

Jiang Xiaolin's full shooting skills and passing and receiving ability allow him to pass and shoot, and he can even use his few breakthrough skills to make breakthroughs, which makes it difficult for Tottenham's players to defend him.

Because you don't know what Jiang Xiaolin will do next.

Jiang Xiaolin used to be a bit independent, but now that Jiang Xiaolin has experienced the need to handle the ball faster and cooperate with the team to advance in the European competition, Jiang Xiaolin has also passed more.

This made the opponent feel very uncomfortable, and it was difficult to completely freeze and defend Jiang Xiaolin.
