God of Greenery

Groningen continued their onslaught against Alkmaar's half in hopes of scoring.

However, their striker's shooting skills are not good, not to mention scoring goals, and there are not even a few threatening shots within the range of the goal frame.

On the contrary, Alkmaar once again played a successful quick counterattack in the 21st minute.

This time also after Groningen's attack in the frontcourt was interrupted, Jiang Xiaolin successfully received a long pass in the air from his teammate in the backcourt for counter-offside, forming a single shot, and then faced the attacking Groningen goalkeeper Dashua from outside the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin gave Alkmaar a 1-0 away lead.

After taking the lead in the score, it was more natural for Alkmaar to play defensive counterattacks.

Groningen, who fell behind, had no choice but to continue to attack and try to score an equalizer.

In the 34th minute, Groningen's offense achieved results. The midfielder Glenn Luwe made a sudden shot in front of the penalty area. The ball hit the leg of Alkmaar defender Steves and produced a change of line, allowing goalkeeper Didu Lika was caught off guard and could only watch the ball hit the net.

Groningen equalized, and the home fans in the stands cheered enthusiastically.

As a result, when Groningen was celebrating, there was a very controversial scene on the field.

Because the Groningen players were so excited, they ran back to their own half while celebrating.

However, they didn't pay attention, and they were still celebrating excitedly.

However, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly had a flash of inspiration with full creativity, and his teammate Didulica, who is the goalkeeper, quickly kicked the ball over and placed it in the center circle.

Because, after scoring a goal on the football field, it is not necessary to wait for both sides to stand in their own half and set up a formation before starting, but as long as they are in their own half and have not crossed the center line.

There is no boundary, but it is not enforced.

Then, a surprising scene appeared on the field.

While the Groningen players were still excitedly celebrating their equalizing goal outside the boundary, Alkmaar's side had already been directed by Jiang Xiaolin to put the ball in the center circle.

Then, the referee saw that the ball had been put into the center circle, and the players of Groningen were also in their own half, so they suddenly blew the whistle for kick-off without warning.

There were so many people in the stands, naturally some fans from Groningen noticed Jiang Xiaolin and others quickly put the ball into the center circle, and then the referee blew the whistle to kick off.

When they were stunned, they naturally shouted quickly, wanting to remind the Groningen players who were still celebrating on the sidelines that the opponent had kicked off and was about to attack their own goal.

However, the cries of this small number of fans were simply ignored.

Because more people are still immersed in the joy of scoring and can't extricate themselves, most of them didn't notice the scene where Jiang Xiaolin and others quickly put the ball into the middle circle to kick-off and sneak attack.

The Groningen players celebrating on the sidelines also didn't hear the reminders from the small number of fans in the noisy stadium environment.

On the center line, Jiang Xiaolin kept looking at the referee, and when he heard the referee whistle, he kicked the ball to Ali, and Ali pushed the ball two or three meters in front of Jiang Xiaolin, giving it to Jiang Xiaolin Space for a run-up shot.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiaolin took two steps towards the run-up, volleyed with all his strength, and kicked the ball towards the Groningen goal.

At this time, Groningen goalkeeper Da Sihua was still celebrating their goal with his teammates just now.

Following the referee's whistle, Jiang Xiaolin and Ali's kick-off, and Jiang Xiaolin's big shot, at this time, it was discovered that there were more and more home fans who Alkmaar suddenly attacked the center circle and shot directly. There was an uproar.

The Groningen players looked into the stadium belatedly, only to realize that Jiang Xiaolin had already shot, and the ball had already flown towards Groningen's goal in the air, and looking at the path of the ball, it was almost certain to score .

At this time, even if the goalkeeper Da Sihua ran back to save, it was far too late.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-value shooting skills, long-range shots, and physique made his long-range shot from the center circle fly into the goal without any suspense under the desperate gaze of the Groningen people.

When the Groningen people were still immersed in the last equalizing goal, Alkmaar had already scored another goal from Jiang Xiaolin's sneak attack and opened the circle, expanding the score to 2-1.

Seeing this, the Groningen fans in the stands booed hugely, and the players also rushed into the field in shock and anger, rushed to the referee, and complained excitedly to the referee that the ball was illegal, and they were still celebrating , Alkmaar just opened the circle and shot, which was invalid.

However, the referee ignored their excited complaints, pointed directly to the middle circle, and blew the whistle for the goal to be effective.

Jiang Xiaolin, Ali, Van der Velden and others started their celebration against the boos of the Groningen home fans.

As for the complaints of the opposing players, it's none of their business anymore. Naturally, the referee will decide.

The commentators in the commentary booth were also a little dumbfounded.

The commentator of the Dutch TV station said blankly:
"The goal is scored, is the goal valid?"

"Alkmaar took advantage of the chance that the Groningen players were still celebrating their last goal, and suddenly kicked off the ball in the center circle, and Jiang Xiaolin scored a long shot in the center circle."

"The players in Groningen haven't returned to the field yet. Does such a goal count?"

At this time, the guest commentator answered: "According to the rules, this goal should be counted!"

The narrator asked in surprise, "Why?"

Then, the guest explained to the commentator and the audience in front of the TV why the ball was counted and why the referee allowed Alkmaar to kick the ball in the middle when the Groningen players did not return to their own field , and the final penalty goal is valid.

In the end, the guest said dumbfoundedly: "Although the rules are such a rule, there are very few people who know how to use them! We can see that this attack was completely initiated by Jiang Xiaolin, who waved in the middle circle to let his teammates Give him the ball, he puts it on the center circle, and waits for the referee to blow his whistle."

"It can be said that Jiang Xiaolin's sudden attack has overturned my understanding of him! I always thought that Jiang Xiaolin was a more disciplined person. Although he is very strong and has a high scoring efficiency, he basically has no Do something out of the ordinary."

"But today's incident has refreshed my understanding of Jiang Xiaolin. It turned out that he would seize the opportunity like this. When no one else in Alkmaar discovered this opportunity, Jiang Xiaolin actually discovered it and took advantage of it, giving it to Groningen. A painful blow."

"If the Groningen players don't go to their own half to celebrate, then it's fine, the rules don't allow kick-offs when the opposing players don't go back to their own half."

"Therefore, although Jiang Xiaolin's goal this time is a thief, it is actually an effective goal that complies with the rules."

"The Groningen players are really careless!"

After listening to the commentator's explanation, the neutral fans in front of the TV finally understood why Alkmaar could suddenly kick off the ball while the players in Groningen were still celebrating on the sidelines, and why Jiang Xiaolin's goal was conceded. The referee's penalty is valid.

Everyone felt that Jiang Xiaolin was really a thief, and this sneak attack was very sudden and effective.

After all, the opponent had just worked hard to equalize the score, but Jiang Xiaolin suddenly took advantage of the opponent's careless sneak attack and succeeded, smoothing out the ball he had worked so hard to score, and regained the lead.

Presumably, this blow to Groningen was more serious than Jiang Xiaolin's direct goal.

In fact, this is also the case. Amidst the countless roars of Groningen on the scene and in front of the TV, the referee still insisted on the effective penalty of the goal, and gave the Groningen player Aguirelli who was emotional and pushed the referee. A yellow card.

Just after Groningen equalized the score, Jiang Xiaolin took advantage of the opponent's careless sneak attack and scored twice to lead the score again.

Such a conceded goal is much stronger than Jiang Xiaolin's blow to Groningen through a goal in a sports game.

In a very humiliating fashion, they turned what should have been an equalizer back into a deficit, and Aguileri was booked for his agitated appeal to the referee.

They are not like the audience in front of the TV. There are guest commentators explaining to them the effective principle of this goal. The referee will not explain it to them in too much detail, but just tell them that the goal is no problem, and tell them not to pester them any more. If you continue to pester them, they will be shown a yellow card.

Under such circumstances, many players feel a little depressed and can't figure it out, which naturally seriously affects their performance on the court.

Although they still maintain a posture of actively attacking Alkmaar, the efficiency of the attack is really not flattering.

Groningen spent the remainder of the first half without even a single threatening shot inside the frame.

Of course, Alkmaar, who scored a goal, was limited by the lack of individual strength and tacit cooperation of the players who started off the bench, and failed to score again.

After 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half, the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-2, and Alkmaar, who played away, took the lead with one goal.

During the intermission, the commentators and guests of various TV stations explained to the audience the kick-off rules of the middle circle ball in more detail, and it was only after participating that they could understand more clearly that Jiang Xiaolin's sneak attack, although it felt very thief, But there is really no problem, and the rules are used reasonably.

It can only be said that the players in Groningen celebrated too much after scoring the goal and were too careless, so that Jiang Xiaolin seized this loophole and opportunity.

This sneak attack made more people remember Jiang Xiaolin.

The previous Jiang Xiaolin felt like a scoring machine without any other characteristics.But this sudden sneak attack let the fans know that Jiang Xiaolin still has such a clever and funny side.

Worthy of attention.

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

Perhaps it was due to the coach's mental construction during the halftime break that the players also knew that Jiang Xiaolin's goal was indeed a valid goal within the scope of the rules. They can only blame themselves for being too careless, and it is no wonder that the referee judged the goal to be valid. .

Therefore, the Groningen players calmed down a lot, regrouped in the second half and continued to attack Alkmaar.

But their shooting skills can't play a big role in the face of Alkmaar who is shrinking and defending.

In the 53rd minute, Groningen got a corner kick, and the central defender Ibrahima, who rushed to the penalty area to compete for the top, grabbed the first header and scored the goal, but was saved by the goalkeeper Didulica. The Groningen fans who got up to celebrate were deeply disappointed.

In the 57th minute, Groningen tore through Alkmaar's defense line through a series of pass and cut scheduling, and passed the ball into the penalty area, allowing striker Brent to get a chance to shoot in the penalty area.

As a result, this rare chance to shoot in the penalty area was kicked by Brent.

Groningen missed another chance to score.

While Groningen's players kept wasting chances due to poor shooting skills, Alkmaar was still able to hit a counterattack occasionally.

In the 65th minute, Alkmaar once again created a threat through a side kick attack.

After Jiang Xiaolin easily unloaded his teammate's throw-in from the wing, he cooperated with his teammate in a one-two, and then dribbled the ball horizontally to the middle.

When Jiang Xiaolin was dribbling the ball, Groningen's overall formation was constantly changing according to Jiang Xiaolin's position. At least three players stayed beside and in front of Jiang Xiaolin to prevent him from shooting suddenly.

Jiang Xiaolin dribbled left and right in the middle for a while, but couldn't find a chance to break through the penalty area and shoot. In the end, he could only look up to find opportunities to pass and assist.

While Jiang Xiaolin was dribbling the ball, forward Ali changed direction and entered the ribs of the penalty area on the right, gaining a short gap.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaolin looked up at Ali, and made the intention to pass the ball in Ali's direction, causing the defensive player in front of him to move unconsciously, trying to block Jiang Xiaolin's pass to Ali.

The goalkeeper Da Sihua also wanted to move to the right to prevent Jiang Xiaolin from passing the ball to Ali to form a shot in the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin looked at Ali on the right and kicked out, but twisted his ankle and passed the ball to the penalty area on the left.

Because of Jiang Xiaolin's deceiving eyes and head, everyone focused on the right side of Ali's restricted area, leaving the left restricted area empty and unmarked.

When the players in Groningen found that Jiang Xiaolin did not pass the ball to Ali, but passed the ball to the left in a slapstick manner, and then turned their heads to look over, they found that Alkmaar's left midfielder Moussa Dembele entered the penalty area and was ready to receive the ball. When the ball is shot and wants to block it, it is too late.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-value creativity, teamwork, and passing skills not only enabled him to successfully use Ronaldinho's stunt of smacking east and west, but also passed the ball just right to Moussa Dembele's most suitable shooting position. position.
