God of Greenery

The fact that he was just one goal away from tying Cohen Dylan's record was something to behold.

With Jiang Xiaolin's scoring efficiency, facing Hercules in this game, he will have a high probability of tying or even surpassing Cohen Dillon's record of 43 goals scored in a single season in the Eredivisie.

Therefore, usually there are only one or two thousand or even hundreds of away fans in away games, but today Alkmaar brought about 4000 away fans, accounting for almost half of Hercules fans.

Even, these fans can go on an away game with the team, which is as crazy as Hercules' home fans, or even worse.

Therefore, in the warm-up cheers before the start of the game, the 4000 away fans in Alkmaar created a momentum no less than the 8000 fans in Hercules.

Give Alkmaar players the illusion of playing at home.

In such an atmosphere, not only Jiang Xiaolin, who was determined to break the record, but also the other players in Alkmaar felt high morale, wishing that the game would start immediately and a big battle.

In addition to the fans at the scene, Dutch national television also selected this game as the live broadcast of this round, which will be broadcast live nationwide.

As for the sports channel of Huaguo National TV, which has already purchased the right to broadcast live in the Eredivisie, it is of course doing its part. As long as there is Jiang Xiaolin's game, unless there is an irresistible event, the Huaguo National TV sports channel will broadcast live.

In addition to the Netherlands and China, Europe, Asia, America, Oceania, etc., have a varying number of TV stations or webcast platforms for live broadcasts.

It may not be the most important channel, but if there are fans of Jiang Xiaolin or viewers of the Eredivisie League who want to watch this game, they can still find a way to watch it.

This is already the highest ratings in the world so far in the Eredivisie this season. Even the strong dialogue between Alkmaar and Ajax is not as good as the global ratings of this game.

On the one hand, with Jiang Xiaolin's outstanding performance on all fronts, he has more and more fans around the world.

On the other hand, it was Jiang Xiaolin's attractiveness to break the Eredivisie's single-season scoring record, which made many platforms that usually do not broadcast the Eredivisie broadcast live.

You know, Cohen Dylan's record of 43 goals in the Eredivisie was created in the 1956/1957 season, and it has been dusty for half a century, and it will take another year.

If Jiang Xiaolin could break this record, it would undoubtedly be a ground-breaking feat.

Even if the Eredivisie is not one of the five major leagues, as the star factory of world football and the birthplace of Total Defense, its popularity is still not low.

Therefore, the news that Jiang Xiaolin may set a new record has attracted so many TV and online video live broadcast platforms from all over the world to broadcast it.

If Jiang Xiaolin can really score a goal in this game, tying or even breaking Cohen Dylan's record of 43 goals, then Jiang Xiaolin's popularity and popularity will undoubtedly usher in a surge.

Of course, as an opponent, Hercules naturally didn't want to be a stepping stone for Jiang Xiaolin to become famous all over the world.

Before the game, they chanted the slogan of completely freezing Jiang Xiaolin and preventing him from scoring goals.

And, they walk the talk.

In the starting list announced before the game, Hercules dispatched the ultimate defensive formation of 541.

If 352 is an aggressive formation, then 541 is a clear bus-style defensive formation.

Moreover, among the 4 people who stand in parallel in the midfield, Hercules is also a defensive player.

The two men in the middle are defensive midfielders, and the midfielders on both sides are defensive midfielders.

Only the center forward at the top is their leading shooter, No. 9 center Shure Messida.

It is estimated that Schulmesida's role is not to score goals, but to be in the front and involve Alkmaar's back line, so that they dare not press the whole line for assists.

When Hercules' starting lineup came out, the media and fans were already in an uproar.

Obviously, Hercules, who was playing at home, didn't even want to face in order to stop Jiang Xiaolin and avoid becoming the backdrop for Jiang Xiaolin's record. Shamelessly, he came up with the idea of ​​putting the bus on defense.

This is why the 8000 Hercules home fans failed to suppress the 4000 Alkmaar away fans during the warm-up before the game.

Because of the formation of the home team, it doesn't look like they want to win.

If it wasn't for watching the top team, Jiang Xiaolin and other star players, these Hercules fans wouldn't come to the scene to seek abuse!

Everyone is almost certain that Hercules will lose this game, it's just a matter of how many losses, and whether he can successfully freeze Jiang Xiaolin and prevent him from scoring.

2009年2月21日傍晚19:45，在现场和世界各国电视机前无数球迷的期待中，随着主裁判的一声哨响，2008/2009荷甲第24轮赫拉克莱斯VS阿尔克马尔的比赛正式开始。

As everyone saw and analyzed before the game, although Hercules got the kick-off, they didn't even try to attack, they just passed the ball back to the backcourt, all the way to the goalkeeper's feet .

Even some Hercules home fans shook their heads and couldn't bear to look directly.

How could the side that got the kick-off pass all the way back to the goalkeeper's feet just after the start, and didn't even have the courage to make a tentative attack?

Is this still the Dutch team known as Total Defense?
Fortunately, the game has just started, and everyone knows the strength comparison between the two sides. The Hercules fans did not boo the home team.

Then, when Jiang Xiaolin, Hamdoy and other Alkmaar players pressed forward, the Hercules players began to pass the ball forward.

Moreover, when the ball was passed to the wing and facing the midfielder of Alkmaar, the player holding the ball kicked the ball to the frontcourt with a clean big foot. I have to shake my head.

It seemed that Hercules was determined to stop Jiang Xiaolin in this game. From the beginning of the game, he didn't even have the desire to counterattack and score a goal!

Sure enough, after the possession of the ball changed hands, all Hercules players returned to the 30-meter range of the goal around the penalty area, except for the center Schurmesida who was wandering in the midfield near the center line and involved Alkmaar's back line. Inside, defend the penalty area and the goal like an iron barrel.

The key point is that these starting players of Hercules are all professional defensive players, not the type of pure frontcourt offensive players who return to the backcourt and defend with their eyes after returning to the backcourt.

In terms of defense, whether it is personal defensive ability or team coordination ability, they are much better than the bus defensive players Alkmaar has encountered before.

Even, their goal was not to prevent Alkmaar's goal, but to prevent Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

In this way, Hercules' defensive goal will be much clearer.

Not to mention the dangerous areas inside and outside the penalty area, as long as Jiang Xiaolin dares to run in, there will be at least three or four defensive players surrounding him!
As long as he takes the ball, he will be pulled and rushed by the opponent's players in the next second, and then there are other people waiting for the opportunity to shovel, poke the ball and so on.

It wasn't a big move, but the encirclement and encirclement of three or four people was enough to make Jiang Xiaolin helpless.

Even if he is the king of the ball, I am afraid that there is nothing he can do in the face of this situation, let alone he is not.

What's even worse is that even the goalkeeper is staring at him at all times, and will not be easily touched by the fact that the ball is at the feet of other Alkmaar players. Anyway, he is wholeheartedly preventing Jiang Xiaolin's shot.

Under such circumstances, even if Jiang Xiaolin occasionally gets a chance to shoot in a dangerous area with his strong physique and speed, grabbing points, and running without the ball, he will make the first move because the goalkeeper's attention is on him. Saves, resulting in no goal.

In the 17th minute, after Jiang Xiaolin attracted the attention of most of Hercules' defense, Hamdoy got a chance to shoot on the right side of the penalty area without defense.

Unfortunately, when the goalkeeper stared at Jiang Xiaolin and didn't even make a save, Hamdoi's shot hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area.

The sudden rebound made Jiang Xiaolin seize the opportunity. He rushed to the front of the landing point by virtue of his superhuman speed, grabbing ability, and off-the-ball running ability. Want to poke the ball into the goal.

Of course, because there were too many people staring at him, Jiang Xiaolin made this supplementary shot hastily in order to save time. He just poked the ball out with one kick, and he didn't have time to use his full shooting skills to control it. angle.

Therefore, when the distance from the goal was less than 5 meters, Jiang Xiaolin's close shot was blocked by goalkeeper Martin Pickenhagen subconsciously with his toes.

The blocked ball was kicked out of the sideline by Hercules' defender to clear the siege.

It seems that Alkmaar's offensive threat is full, but after the completion of the attack, the players and fans of Hercules celebrated.

The fans applauded and cheered for Martin Pickenhagen's wonderful save in the stands, and the Hercules players on the field also went to the goal line to give Pickenhagen a high five and celebrate him blocking Jiang Xiaolin so close A must-goal chance for a follow-up shot.

On the other hand, on Alkmaar's side, although Hamdoy and Jiang Xiaolin completed consecutive threatening shots, they still failed to score after all, which was immediately regrettable.

Especially for those fans whose sole purpose in watching this game is to see Jiang Xiaolin score a record-tying goal or break a record, they immediately beat their feet and chests, wishing to go on the court and crush Martin Pickenhagen to death.

For them, Martin Pickenhagen's wonderful save is blocking history and a new record in the Eredivisie, and he is an unforgivable sinner.

Of course, the fans' resentment can't change anything. All the players on the field, including Jiang Xiaolin, don't even know that this game has attracted so many TV stations and fans to watch it all over the world.

The game continues.

With Heracles defending Jiang Xiaolin with all their strength, even though they put up an iron-barreled bus defense, other Alkmaar players can occasionally get a chance to kick and shoot, just like Hamdoy's just now Like shooting.

After half an hour of besieging Hercules' iron barrel formation, in the 32nd minute, Alkmaar finally took advantage of a wonderful cooperation of frontcourt players except Jiang Xiaolin to pass the ball into the penalty area, and then Ham said Yi made a wonderful pass with his heel, and Moussa Dembele, who cut into the penalty area from the wing, appeared in front of the ball just right, and volleyed the ball from the penalty area full of people into the dead corner of the goal.

Although there were many people in the penalty area, luckily, no one touched the ball in this shot.

Alkmaar finally took a 1-0 away lead thanks to a goal from Moussa Dembele.

But the Hercules players were indifferent, not at all frustrated, as if they were not the ones who conceded the goal.

It seems that the head coach has prepared them psychologically for losing this game long before the game.

After all, facing the top team Alkmaar led by Jiang Xiaolin, Hercules, who is ranked in the middle and lower ranks, will have a hard time ensuring that they don't lose even if they play at home.

What's more, they have to do their best to guard Jiang Xiaolin, stop Jiang Xiaolin, and prevent them from becoming the background wall for Jiang Xiaolin's record-breaking or breaking record.

Under such circumstances, the defense must have neglected other Alkmaar players.

As the top team under Van Gaal, Alkmaar not only has Jiang Xiaolin, but other players have also performed very well this season and on the spot.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiaolin would not have been at the top of the standings before Jiang Xiaolin returned at the beginning of the season.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Xiaolin is successfully frozen, other Alkmaar players score goals, or even lose in the end, they don't care at all.

They went into the game with incredible conviction and Moussa Dembele's goal did not shake their confidence at all.

So, in the next game, Hercules continued to defend with the bus, and concentrated all his energy on defending and intercepting Jiang Xiaolin, causing Jiang Xiaolin* to fall into the quagmire of attacking.

Even if he takes the initiative to retreat, withdraw from the penalty area, withdraw 30 meters away, or even change positions to the side, he will still face at least two opposing players' close marking.

Even if he withdraws to the midfield, there will be No. 9 striker Shure Messida, who is at the top of the opponent, cooperates with a midfielder to interfere with him.

Anyway, it is to prevent him from comfortably holding the ball and breaking through.

Unless he withdraws to the center line and returns to his own half!

But what's the point of that?

It is impossible for him to make a lob shot when the opponent's goalkeeper is very focused and does not attack outside the small penalty area. It is simply a waste of opportunity.

And once they enter Hercules' half, they will be heavily marked, and there is no chance to break through and score a goal.

Even a long shot from 30 meters away is impossible.
