God of Greenery

After the news that Jiang Xiaolin won the 2008 European Golden Boy Award came back to China, both the media and the fans were filled with excitement.

Fans enthusiastically discussed Jiang Xiaolin's award in the comment section of the news page of various websites, post bars, forums, blogs, QQ groups, etc.

"Although it has been expected, Jiang Xiaolin is still very excited to win the award."

"Yes! The European Golden Boy Award, known as the European Golden Globe Award for under 21 years old, is also a strong contender for the real Golden Globe Award in the future. Unexpectedly, my Chinese players will also win this award one day."

"The key is that Jiang Xiaolin is only 17 years old, and he has already suppressed those 20-year-old and 21-year-old geniuses. Give Jiang Xiaolin a few more years, and with his terrifying progress, I think it is really impossible to win the European Golden Globe Award." question."

"I guess Jiang Xiaolin will definitely transfer after this season."

"Well, Alkmaar will definitely not be able to keep him!"

"Looking forward to the day when Jiang Xiaolin joins the five major leagues!"

"I look forward to Jiang Xiaolin conquering the Champions League!"

In the Netherlands, after Jiang Xiaolin looked at the newspaper photos sent by his agent Baker for a while, he began to receive various calls one after another.

First, Baker called and said that "Torino Sport" would conduct an exclusive interview with him, and Jiang Xiaolin naturally readily agreed.

Then came congratulatory calls from various friends and family he knew.

Of course, it is mainly in Europe, and it must be a little later in China.

After answering more than ten calls in a row, Jiang Xiaolin had a free time, and quickly took the opportunity to call his mother to announce the good news to her.

With his son's success in football, Jiang Liantao no longer has to worry about the life of the mother and son. The small supermarket also has a niece and daughter to help, so Jiang Liantao has a lot of time to supplement football knowledge.

The family not only has a TV, but also bought two computers, one for Jiang Liantao and one for Jiang Xueling. Jiang Liantao has already learned how to use the computer to surf the Internet.

After Jiang Xiaolin was selected into the 40-person shortlist for the Golden Boy Award last time, Jiang Liantao checked the relevant information on the Internet for the European Golden Boy Award, and naturally knew the importance of the European Golden Globe Award for under 21 years old.

Now hearing her son call to say that she won the award, Jiang Liantao was also very happy.

Jiang Xiaolin spent the day making and answering the phone constantly.

In the afternoon, the editor-in-chief of "Turin Sports News" led a reporter and a photographer to Alkmaar to conduct an exclusive interview with Jiang Xiaolin.

However, Jiang Xiaolin did not win the European Golden Boy Award despite accepting an exclusive interview with "Turin Sports News".

It was a model of the Golden Globe similar to the European Golden Globe, slightly smaller than the real European Golden Globe, and the awards had to be presented at another time, and the location of the awards was not fixed. Today, only the information about the votes and winners was announced.

After finishing the interview, the editor-in-chief of "Turin Sports News" discussed with Jiang Xiaolin, Baker, and Alkmaar Club, and decided to hold the award ceremony on December 12 when Alkmaar vs. Udinese. In the final round of the Cup group stage.

Because the most recent home game is that one, and Alkmaar and Udinese have already qualified ahead of schedule, everyone has no pressure to qualify, and fans and players can enjoy Jiang Xiaolin's European Golden Boy Award Ceremony Cheers and congratulations.

However, there are still a few days left, and what Alkmaar will do first is a league game against the Eredivisie giants Feyenoord.

Feyenoord's situation is a bit bad this season, ranking 11th in the standings.

However, Alkmaar still dare not be careless.Because Feyenoord is the first team in the Eredivisie to win the European Champions Cup, it has a profound heritage.

Moreover, this time Alkmaar is still playing away. Whether it can beat Feyenoord is really hard to say!

Although Alkmaar has won 12 consecutive victories, they are still not sure of winning the away game against Feyenoord, and the whole team must go all out.

A few days after resuming daily training, on December 12, with the whistle of the referee, the 13th round of the 2008/2009 Eredivisie match between Feyenoord and Alkmaar officially started at the Feyenoord Stadium.

Due to Feyenoord's poor performance this season, the stadium that can accommodate more than 5 people is not full, and the attendance rate is only about 3 people, which is [-] to [-]%.

However, this is already higher than the attendance rate of other games in the league, because this game is facing the top team Alkmaar, which can be regarded as a strong dialogue.

What's more, Jiang Xiaolin, who just won the European Golden Boy Award, also attracted many neutral fans to watch the game.

After the game started, Feyenoord and Alkmaar played against each other.

Although the ranking is not good this season, Feyenoord is not afraid of facing the top team Alkmaar who has won 12 consecutive games in the league.

After all, this is their home court, and Feyenoord is also one of the three giants in the Eredivisie.

Although they have fallen a little bit recently, their pride is still there, and they are not allowed to play defensive counterattacks like other downstream teams.

Therefore, the game was played quite unrestrainedly, and all the fans watched with excitement.

It's just that the losing side was a bit depressed after the game, but the winning side and neutral fans felt very happy.

It may be that Alkmaar's ranking and Jiang Xiaolin's fame have inspired Feyenoord's somewhat sluggish morale and state this season. In this game, they actually performed very well amidst the cheers and cheers of the home fans.

Especially the South Korean player Li Tianxiu in Feyenoord's team, this game was quite active.

As close neighbors in East Asia, South Korea and China compete in many ways.

In football, the Huaguo team has not defeated South Korea for many years, and has even been given the name of Korean-phobia.

Korean players are very proud when facing Chinese players.

But what makes them depressed is that the number one star in Asia is not their Korean, but Jiang Xiaolin from China.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin is from the mountainous area of ​​Qianzhou in the southwest. He is separated from South Korea by hundreds of thousands of miles, and he can't even have a relationship with him. This makes Koreans who are good at assigning various historical celebrities to their names feel uncomfortable Very depressed.

Therefore, after representing the two teams on the same court today, Li Tianxiu worked very hard, wanting to show a good performance to prove that he, a Korean player who studied abroad in the Netherlands, is no worse than the Chinese native Jiang Xiaolin.

In the 3rd minute, Li Tianxiu unexpectedly passed Alkmaar full-back Poconioli with a dexterous fried ball on the side of the front field, cut inside the penalty area and kicked the goal.

The quality of the ball was also good. It hit the goal frame, but the angle was not tricky, and it was finally saved by Sergio Romero.

Although the goal was missed, Li Tianxiu's breakthrough into the penalty area and shot still made tens of thousands of Feyenoord fans in the stands applaud him.

Li Tianxiu felt a little bit complacent in addition to being regretful.

Because Jiang Xiaolin hadn't had a shot so far, but he already had a threatening shot that hit the goal frame.

As a result, when he went to see Jiang Xiaolin, he found that Jiang Xiaolin was not looking at him at all, and he was a little unhappy.

In fact, he didn't realize that with his mentality, he was already putting himself at a disadvantage, as if he was begging for Jiang Xiaolin's attention and praise.

Just like the media of the two countries, the Korean media hyped the concept of the Asian derby before the game.

As for the Huaguo media, they hardly mentioned it.Because in the eyes of the Chinese media, Li Tianxiu and Jiang Xiaolin's rankings are too far apart, they cannot be compared at all, and there is no such thing as a derby.

Jiang Xiaolin, who has already won the European Golden Boy Award and is now the top scorer in the Eredivisie, is not even targeting ordinary European players, but world superstars, super shooters from major leagues.

Li Tianxiu was a weak chicken who hadn't scored a single goal in the Eredivisie this season. The Huaguo media and Jiang Xiaolin himself naturally didn't take it seriously.

If Li Tianxiu scored this goal, Jiang Xiaolin might really look at him differently.But since he didn't score, Jiang Xiaolin naturally wouldn't look at him.

Next, it's Alkmaar's turn to show off.

Although Feyenoord has won the Champions League and has a profound heritage, it is only history after all and does not represent today's strength and achievements.

The 11th place in the standings is a reflection of Feyenoord's current true strength.

Even if Feyenoord is playing at home in this game, and the strong dialogue has aroused their fighting spirit and ambition, but in terms of real strength comparison, they still cannot be compared with Alkmaar, who is at the top of the standings.

What's more, it was still when Jiang Xiaolin was starting.

Almost omnipotent, he can be nailed in the penalty area as a tactical center, and can also withdraw from the penalty area for long-range shots. After the epiphany of the UEFA Cup, his speed and decisiveness in handling the ball have improved a lot.

Under such circumstances, Feyenoord and Alkmaar's confrontation is simply asking for trouble.

In the 7th minute, Alkmaar played a wave of exquisite passing and cutting cooperation in the positional battle, tearing through Feyenoord's defense.

In the end, Jiang Xiaolin used his full speed and running without the ball to create a gap in the penalty area, and Hamdoy, who was holding the ball, also transferred the ball in front of him in due course.

Although Hamdoy's pass was not perfect and he was a little farther away from Jiang Xiaolin, but Jiang Xiaolin made a flying tackle decisively, and finally poked the ball in with his toe before the opponent's defender Van Bronhorst made a clearance. goal.

Goalkeeper Dali made a save, but faced with Jiang Xiaolin's shovel shot in the penalty area, he was still a hair's breadth away and failed to stop Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

In the 7th minute, Alkmaar, who played away, took a 1-0 lead with Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

Feyenoord, who played at home, was naturally unwilling to lose, and increased their offensive efforts after the game restarted.

Especially the striker Li Tianxiu, his speed and brilliance are remarkable, but it is a pity that he lacks in the final kick.

In the 13th minute, Li Tianxiu ran out of space at the top of the penalty area. His teammates passed the ball in front of him. He volleyed the ball vigorously without stopping, but the ball flew out of the baseline.

If the ball hits the goal frame, the threat is not small.

However, Li Tianxiu's shooting skills were really impressive. In the end, he missed the post far away. Goalkeeper Romero didn't even bother to make a save, so he just stood and watched the ball fly out of the baseline.

Next, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield.

Although Alkmaar tops the list, Feyenoord only ranks 11th in the standings, but in fact Alkmaar has an advantage over Feyenoord, except for Jiang Xiaolin. It is clear.

Alkmaar's 12-game winning streak in the league this season relies more on Jiang Xiaolin's goals.

Without Jiang Xiaolin's thigh, it would be impossible for Alkmaar to win 12 league games in a row, and it is hard to say whether they can occupy the first place in the standings.

Therefore, when the two sides started fighting in the midfield, Alkmaar's lead was not large, and Feyenoord could occasionally grab the ball and launch an attack.

However, just like Li Tianxiu, other players' shooting skills are also far from Jiang Xiaolin's. Even if they have the chance to shoot, it is difficult for them to shoot a threatening shot, let alone score a goal.

In the 17th minute, they made another threatening cross from the wing and passed the ball into the penalty area. Feyenoord striker Roy Mackay also grabbed the first header.

It is a pity that under the interference of central defender Ragnar Klavan, Ma Kai's header in the penalty area this time was powerful, but the angle was not tricky. The goalkeeper Romero kept him straight and hugged him directly. arms.

After landing from the air, Ma Kaidu scratched his scalp with both hands, looking very annoyed.

The Feyenoord home fans in the stands let out a huge sigh.

Obviously, everyone was ready to celebrate just now, but Ma Kai didn't expect that although Ma Kai hit the ball and was within the range of the goal frame, he didn't expect to hit Romero's arms directly.

Feyenoord missed a great chance to score.

On Alkmaar's side, although the others were not as good at shooting as Feyenoord, as long as Jiang Xiaolin was alone, it was enough to send the ball into the opponent's goal.

In the 27th minute, Feyenoord's frontcourt attack made a pass error, the ball was intercepted by David Mendes, and then passed to Moussa Dembele in the space on the wing.

The moment Mendes broke the ball, Jiang Xiaolin sensed the opportunity to counterattack and immediately turned around and rushed towards the opponent's penalty area.

Because they are playing against the offensive station, Feyenoord does not have many defensive players left behind.

At the moment when Jiang Xiaolin used his speed to reverse offside, Moussa Dembele kicked the ball to the frontcourt with a long window in the air.

Although most of the backcourt passes of his teammates couldn't match Jiang Xiaolin's speed and running position, and couldn't perfectly form a counterattack, Dembele's long pass in the air was very good, just in line with Jiang Xiaolin. The speed and running position fit together.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't even need to stop to wait for the ball, he just stretched out his feet while running and used his perfect stopping technique to unload the ball, and then dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area.
