God of Greenery

After the start of the game, the not-so-famous Lekpusner did not shrink his defense, but started a confrontation with Alkmaar, who was the main force, from the first minute amidst the cheers and cheers of the home fans.

Because they are in a disadvantageous position on the field.

The schedule of home first and away means that they must win as much as possible in the first round, and they must win by a large score in order to retain the hope of promotion.

Otherwise, if you can't win at home, do you expect to perform a miracle in the away game?

Therefore, Lake Pusner, who is at a disadvantage in the schedule, has no choice, so he can only choose to attack aggressively at home, hoping to win and get enough goal difference.

They also have ideas and want to advance to the next round.

And Alkmaar, as the top team in the Eredivisie, and except for the injured Maarten Martens, the team's main players are all out. Facing a Polish team, it is even more impossible to shrink back.

What's more, if you can get more away goals in the first round of the game, even if you lose the game, it will be much easier to play at home in the second round.

Therefore, both sides launched a confrontation battle with the goal of scoring.

Although Lekpusna is not well-known in Europe and the world, and Jiang Xiaolin has never even heard of it before, it still has some strength to become the top team in the Polish Super League.

What's more, the opponent is still playing at home, and amidst the cheers and cheers of more than 1 home fans in the audience, the attack is full.

Therefore, the game played very unrestrained.

In the 3rd minute, Lake Pusner took advantage of the home game and entered the state first to play a very good pass and cut cooperation, and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Fortunately, Alkmaar defender Ragnar Klavan flew to block the hole in time and blocked the opponent's striker Liyunduski's shot.

However, the ball blocked by Klavan did not go out of the baseline or the penalty area. Instead, it caused a scramble between players from both sides in the penalty area, causing chaos.

Fortunately, in the end, Alkmaar's defender kicked out of the sideline to clear the siege, so that Lake Pusner's first wave of offense did not result in a goal.

2 minutes later, in the 5th minute, Alkmaar returned the favor. After a series of wonderful passes, the full-back Moussa Dembele dribbled the ball and made a pass. Jiang Xiaolin grabbed the first header in the penalty area. Door.

It's a pity that under the pull of the opponent's defender, Jiang Xiaolin's header missed the spot and was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the confrontational battle where both sides are bound to win, the fight in the midfield is particularly fierce.

In the 9th minute, Styne Schals elbowed the opponent's player in the midfield fight, and was shown a yellow card by the referee, which also allowed the opponent to get a free kick.

However, this free kick was too far away to pose any threat.

In the 14th minute, the opponent's midfielder Enchas returned the favor and gave him a flying shovel when the full-back Poconioli dribbled the ball from the side, and shoveled him out of the sideline. .

Enchas also received a yellow card, which also caused a quarrel between the players of both sides, and the atmosphere of the game became more heated.

Perhaps the home game does have a certain combat power bonus.

In the 19th minute, Lake Pusner played a high-quality side attack, and finally the winger Marcus made a pass from the bottom, and the striker Lian Jeff followed up with a diving header from the middle.

This dive was of high quality, but the angle was slightly right, and it was saved by goalkeeper Romero.

But the ball he saved did not go out of bounds, but continued to land in the penalty area. As a result, Lekpusner, another striker, Liyunduski who rushed in behind him, grabbed a flying shovel before Hector Moreno made a clearance. Shot, shoveling the ball into the empty goal formed after Romero fell to the ground.

Lekpusner, who was considered weaker by the outside world, scored the goal first. More than 1 Polish fans at the scene immediately uttered deafening shouts and screams, celebrating their first goal.

On the field, Liyunduski, who scored a goal, also rushed to the sidelines to celebrate fiercely with his teammates.

Scoring a goal in the knockout stage of the UEFA Cup, and scoring the opening goal for the team, it is no wonder that players and fans are celebrating excitedly.

Lake Pusner's celebration lasted for more than half a minute. In the end, the Alkmaar players couldn't stand it anymore and protested. Then the referee stepped forward to intervene, letting the opponent end the celebration and return to their own half to let Alkmaar Mal kicked the ball in the middle circle.

After the game restarted, Lekpusner's morale was boosted, and he started a confrontation with Alkmaar with more confidence.

In fact, the Eredivisie is not the five major leagues, and Alkmaar is not the traditional giants of the Eredivisie like Ajax, Eindhoven, and Feyenoord.

Therefore, Alkmaar's popularity and deterrence on the Polish side are seriously insufficient.

As for Jiang Xiaolin, Alkmaar's leading shooter with an average of more than 2 goals per game, Lake Pusna's fans and players also subconsciously think that it is just because the Eredivisie's defensive strength is not as good as that of the five major leagues. He scored so many goals for cheap.

Therefore, Lake Pusner's marking of Jiang Xiaolin in this game was not as strict as that of the Eredivisie team.

In addition, they themselves had to press down on the formation and attack aggressively, so it was even more impossible to surround Jiang Xiaolin with multiple people and closely monitor him.

So, less than 5 minutes after Lakepusner was still not satisfied after scoring the first goal and continued to attack aggressively, in the 23rd minute, Jiang Xiaolin used a long-distance attack that shocked everyone to make them realize The strength of No.1 in the Eredivisie scorer list.

This was a counterattack formed after Lake Pusner's offense was intercepted by Alkmaar. Jiang Xiaolin took the ball near the center line in his own half and used his speed to continuously break through the interceptions of the opponent's two defenders. Facing the attacking goalkeeper in the penalty area, he volleyed from the far corner and succeeded.

Jiang Xiaolin used a beautiful long-distance attack to equalize the score for Alkmaar and scored an away goal.

The hundreds of Alkmaar fans who accompanied the team on the away game, as well as the local Chinese and overseas Chinese fans in Poland, were so excited that they applauded Jiang Xiaolin's goal excitedly in the stands.

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin himself felt very excited and celebrated warmly with his teammates.

This was his first goal in the knockout round of the European war, and he helped the team score an away goal. Even Jiang Xiaolin, who scored so many goals, couldn't help but celebrate.

For Lake Pusner's players and fans, Jiang Xiaolin's goal was like a blow to the head.

On the one hand, the score was evened.On the other hand, allowing the opponent to score an away goal.

The blow to them from this conceded goal is simply double.

Therefore, after the game restarted, even though Lakepusner's players had understood Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack ability through the goal just now, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to attack.

If you don't attack, you will die.

If you can't win at home, is it impossible to pray for an away victory over the top team in the Eredivisie?
That chance is too small.

It's better to pray for more goals and win at home.

Therefore, after the game restarted, Lake Pusner did not restrain himself because of Jiang Xiaolin's threat, but continued to attack aggressively.

In the 27th minute, Lekpusner played a wave of good-quality offense, but when a midfielder was about to drive the ball into the penalty area, Alkmaar's defender decisively chose a tactical foul.

Although a yellow card was shown, it also avoided the threat of the opponent entering the penalty area.

Lake Pusner also got a free kick in the frontcourt from a good position.

It's a pity that they don't have a free kick expert like Jiang Xiaolin in their team. The player who took the penalty kicked the ball into the stands, but it missed the goal frame.

In the 31st minute, Lekpusner midfielder Rosicky hit a high-quality long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

The ball sank vigorously and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

It's a pity that the distance is slightly farther, giving Sergio Romero plenty of time to save.

Romero immediately judged the path of the ball after Rosicky's shot, moved two steps to the right, and then made a vacant side throw, successfully holding the ball out of the crossbar.

The Polish fans in the stands who had stood up to celebrate the goal could only let out a sigh of regret.

The subsequent corner kick Lekpusner failed to grab the first point and was cleared by Alkmaar's players who pushed out of the penalty area.

Although Lekpusner's continuous attack did not score a goal, it still seemed to have an advantage in the situation. It meant playing against Alkmaar, which made the Polish fans in the stands very excited.

But in fact, this is Alkmaar's strategic contraction.

It's not that they are afraid of the opponent, but they are deliberately attracting the opponent to attack, and then play the gap in the opponent's backcourt.

Of course, because of Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack goal, Lakepusner's defense line has been more closely marking Jiang Xiaolin than before, and Jiang Xiaolin will not be easily allowed to counterattack again.

But relatively, because of the need to maintain the strength of the attack and prevent Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack, Lakepusner's marking of other players in Alkmaar is not so strict.

Therefore, in the 38th minute, Lekpusner's continuous attack had not yet scored a second goal, but Alkmaar counterattacked again.

This time it was also a chance for Alkmaar to counterattack after stealing the ball in the backcourt and kicking the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick.

Although this big-footed long pass did not match Jiang Xiaolin's speed and running position, making it impossible for Jiang Xiaolin to unload the ball directly to form a single-handed move, Jiang Xiaolin still occupied the ball's landing point with his keen ability to grab points and his physique, and reached the top. ball.

The key point is that when Jiang Xiaolin was fighting for the top spot, besides a central defender who was close to him for the top spot, Lake Pusner also had another central defender not far behind to prevent Jiang Xiaolin's breakthrough.

There was also a full-back who returned to the defense in time and was also marking Alkmaar's other striker, Ali. As a result, Van der Velden, who rushed up next to him, was unmarked.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin, who saw Van der Velden's running position, consciously used his full-value header technique to head the ball in front of Van der Velden's running position when he was fighting for the top.

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin head the ball into Van der Velden's running route, another central defender who was behind to defend Jiang Xiaolin just now rushed over to try to steal the ball.

As a result, Van der Velden took the ball away one step faster than him, then avoided his push, and quickly caught up with the ball to form a single pole.

Although there were still people chasing closely behind him, Van der Velden entered the penalty area one step ahead of time and faced the attacking Lekpusner goalkeeper Lukowski to complete the shot.

The ball slipped under the armpit of the downed goalkeeper and shot into the goal in an instant.

Van der Velden received Jiang Xiaolin's frontcourt assist and scored a goal to overtake the score. Alkmaar took a 2-1 lead and had two away goals.

Immediately, whether it was the players on the field, the Alkmaar fans in the stands, or the coaches such as Van Gaal and the substitute players on the sidelines, they all celebrated excitedly.

With two away goals and an away lead, Alkmaar's UEFA Cup 1/16 final is basically stable.

Even if it is equalized by the opponent later, Alkmaar will have a greater chance of advancing when he returns home.

What's more, Alkmaar, who owns Jiang Xiaolin, may not be able to score more goals when the opponent wants to overwhelm the offensive goals, just like these two counterattacks.

Alkmaar was celebrating wildly, while Lekpusner was being hit hard one by one.

Alkmaar's second goal really gave them a blow.

On the one hand, it was because they were reversed and fell behind in the total score.

On the other hand, the opponent also scored two away goals.

For Lechpusner, the situation was undoubtedly extremely severe.

If you lose at home, do you still pray that you will not win the next round at the away game?

Not a team without an away win, but that probability is too small.In the knockout rounds of the European War, more away losses happened.

In addition, the way Alkmaar scored this time also made Lake Pusner's players and coaches feel desperate.

Because of Jiang Xiaolin's threat, they stepped up their guard against Jiang Xiaolin.

However, even if Jiang Xiaolin is not used as the offensive end point, he can still provide assists, and other players in Alkmaar also have the ability to score goals.

Even Van der Velden who scored the goal was not the main player, but the player who started off the bench after Maarten Martens was injured.

There are other Ali, Styne Schalls, Moussa Dembele, etc. who have not shown their power!
It is necessary to think about attacking to equalize the score, or even win at home, but also to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. How can this be done?
Of course, what lay in front of the Lake Pusner team at this time was the fact that they were behind.

No matter how great the threat of Alkmaar's counterattack is, they have to attack.

In the next few minutes, Lekpusner continued to press forward aggressively, but failed to score until the end of the first half.

Of course, Alkmaar failed to score again.

After 2 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-2. Alkmaar, who was playing away, temporarily led by one goal.
