God of Greenery

When Jiang Xiaolin left the field, he naturally received applause from all the fans.

Many of the home fans, including Nimegen's, stood up and applauded Jiang Xiaolin.

His performance in the Eredivisie this season not only won results for Alkmaar, but also improved the overall image and popularity of the Eredivisie. Many Dutch fans are proud of Jiang Xiaolin's appearance.

After Jiang Xiaolin left the field, the game between the two teams finally became more normal, and Nimegen, who was behind by two goals, finally started a desperate counterattack.

After all, falling behind by two goals is not the end of the world. There is still almost half an hour left. If they are lucky, it will be enough for them to score two goals to tie the game.

Alkmaar's substitute lineup was indeed lacking in strength and tacit cooperation, and soon the scene became passive, and was really overwhelmed by Nimegen.

This was not a strategy of deliberately defending and counterattacking when Jiang Xiaolin was on the court before, but a real lack of strength to be suppressed and beaten.

After all, Alkmaar is not yet luxurious enough to have two main lineups.

Fortunately, the defensive midfielder David Mendes and central defender Hector Moreno acted as the mainstay, and the stable performance of goalkeeper Sergio Romero did not allow Nimegen to take advantage of the situation Goal scored.

In addition, Nimegen's players are not as good as Jiang Xiaolin in shooting skills. Even if they occasionally shoot, it is difficult to score within the range of the goal frame.

Therefore, it was not until the 89th minute at the end of the game that Nijmegen scored their first goal through a corner kick to tie the score at 1-2.

But by this time it was too late.

In the remaining time, I wanted to score a second goal, but it was already too late.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Alkmaar relied on Jiang Xiaolin's brace to take away a 2-1 away game from the Degufut Stadium in Nijmegen. Victory, continue to lead the standings.

After the referee blew the final whistle, Jiang Xiaolin also received experience rewards for this match.

Jiang Xiaolin gained the basic experience of 2 goals 4000+ winning 4000=8000.

In terms of performance, the system gave him a "good" rating with a rating factor of 2, so the experience he gained in the end was 8000*2=1.6.

Adding the previous daily training, Jiang Xiaolin's level experience reached level 22 173.54/300 million.

After the game, Jiang Xiaolin scored twice and the new record of 47 goals in the Eredivisie was naturally continued to be reported and praised by the global media.

Of course, for Alkmaar, there are more things to be happy about.

On the one hand, they sent most of the bench lineup to play and still won.

On the other hand, Twente and Ajax, who ranked second and third in this round, all capsized and were tied by their opponents.

As a result, Alkmaar led No.68 Twente with 255 points after this round by a full 13 points.

Alkmaar, who sent a group of substitutes to play the away game, not only was not widened by the opponent, but also widened the point gap with No.2 in this round.

With 13 points, Alkmaar already has room for error in four games.

And there are only 34 rounds of the Eredivisie, and there are only 8 rounds left.

Regardless of Alkmaar's goal of winning the Eredivisie, or the strategic allocation of the three-line battle, this is a very wonderful result.

Therefore, during the team's daily training the next day, both the coach and the players were in a very good mood.

Everyone's confidence in winning the Eredivisie is getting stronger and stronger.

At the same time, with such a big advantage in the league, everyone's thoughts on the Dutch Cup and the UEFA Cup will naturally increase.

For the first round of the next UEFA Cup quarter-final match, everyone became very motivated and wanted to start the game quickly, defeat the defending champion Zenit St. Petersburg, and advance to the quarterfinals.

As the match day approached, the Dutch and Russian media, and even the European media paid more and more attention to the game, and the fans became more and more enthusiastic about it.

This game is the most watched game of this UEFA Cup, bar none.

Even the Ajax VS Marseille game did not receive as much attention as Alkmaar VS Zenit St. Petersburg.

On the one hand, it is because Alkmaar is currently very popular, because Jiang Xiaolin is in the formation.

Jiang Xiaolin is setting a new record for the Eredivisie in a single season in every league game, so the attention is naturally very high.

On the other hand, it is because Zenit St. Petersburg was the champion last season.

As the defending champion, Zenit St. Petersburg will naturally receive the most attention in the new season.

When these two teams met, it naturally became the hottest round of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals this season.

There is also a more coincidental reason, because Alkmaar and Zenit St. Petersburg were in the same group in the UEFA Cup last season.

In the UEFA Cup group stage of the 2007/2008 season, Alkmaar and Zenit St. Petersburg were divided into Group A together. As a result, the two teams drew 1-1.

But at the end of the group stage, Alkmaar ranked fourth and was eliminated in the group stage. Zenit St. Petersburg qualified from the group stage and eliminated Villarreal, Marseille, Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, and Glasgow. Those who waited for countless tyrants to win the championship.

Especially the result of the 5-1 victory over the super giant Bayern Munich in the two rounds of the semi-finals gave the players of Zenit St. Petersburg a super confidence.

Zenit Saint Petersburg No. 2 striker Deji expressed his opinion in an interview about Jiang Xiaolin averaging more than 9 goals per game, constantly setting new goals in the Eredivisie, and ranking first in the UEFA Cup scorer list :

"There is no doubt that Jiang Xiaolin is a talented player."

"However, football is a team sport of 11 people, and one person can never beat the whole team."

"Zenit was the champion last season. We won the UEFA Cup all the way to win the UEFA Cup. Even Bayern Munich lost at our feet, let alone Alkmaar?"

"Alkmaar couldn't even qualify for the group stage last season. This season, because they have Jiang Xiaolin, reaching the quarter-finals is already their limit."

"When we meet Zenit St. Petersburg, Alkmaar will just throw up his hands and surrender like Bayern Munich."

"Otherwise, what awaits them will be an unprecedented fiasco!"

Come on, Bayern Munich, which had nothing to do with itself, was pulled out to flog the corpse.

In addition, Zenit not only defeated Bayern last season, but also defeated Leverkusen. The German media and fans instantly turned into supporters of Alkmaar and Jiang Xiaolin, and supported Alkmaar to teach Zenit a lesson and beat them. knocked out.

The attention of the German media and fans to this UEFA Cup match can be said to be the highest outside the Netherlands and China.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin can lead Alkmaar to eliminate Zenit St. Petersburg, or even massacre their opponents by a big score, then Jiang Xiaolin will definitely be loved by German fans.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates definitely can't control the German fans at this time.

They just talked about their opinions in the interview, which is also a warm-up for the game, as well as a war of words and psychological warfare with each other.

According to captain Jalyens in an interview, Alkmaar still challenged Zenit St. Petersburg in an away game last season, and they were able to get a draw from the away game.

Alkmaar is stronger this season and will definitely be able to double-kill Zenit St. Petersburg at home and away.

As for Jiang Xiaolin, he said in an interview that football is indeed not a one-man sport, and he is not prepared to challenge the entire defense line of Zenit St. Petersburg alone.

The point is, he doesn't need to compete alone in the game, he also has teammates.

He also has excellent teammates, such as Sergio Romero, David Mendes, Maarten Martens, Hamdoy, etc., are all strong players, the head of each national team .

Jiang Xiaolin was also a helper.

Therefore, it is wishful thinking for Zenit St. Petersburg to think that it can win by staring at Jiang Xiaolin alone.

On the contrary, with the help of his teammates, Jiang Xiaolin expressed his confidence to win.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin showed his arrogance when asked by a reporter if he could break the Klinsmann UEFA Cup record of 15 goals in a single season in the quarter-finals.

He said: "I will go all out in the two rounds against Zenit St. Petersburg and try to score four goals, setting a new UEFA Cup scoring record in a single season. I think that with my current average of more than 2 goals per game. The efficiency of the ball, Zenit St. Petersburg can't stop me."

If this passage is published, it will cause too much hatred.

The players, coaches, and fans of Zenit St. Petersburg were all furious. Everyone clamored that Jiang Xiaolin must be guarded, so that Jiang Xiaolin could taste the feeling of not scoring a goal.

As for the record, Jiang Xiaolin will talk about it next season!

His scoring record this season will always be suspended at 12 goals, and he is about to be eliminated by Zenit St. Petersburg. To create a new UEFA Cup scoring record in a single season, Jiang Xiaolin can only think about it next season.

Some radical Russian fans even clamored for Jiang Xiaolin to be careful about his legs, and be careful that the Zenit players kicked him hard like in the Olympic finals, causing him to fracture again.

Although no player blatantly shouted that, but the media reported it, it was undoubtedly a kind of psychological warfare against Jiang Xiaolin.

If it can interfere with Jiang Xiaolin's performance and affect Jiang Xiaolin's state, it will undoubtedly be very successful.

Such pre-match psychological warfare is undoubtedly disgusted by many neutral fans and media people.

As neutral fans and media reporters, what they most want to see is obviously exciting games and dazzling performances of players.

Football has finally produced another amazing talent. He is only 17 years old, and his future achievements are still worth looking forward to. We don't want to be crippled by malicious fouls before we grow up.

Therefore, the clamor of the Russian media and fans has been unanimously criticized by the neutral media and fans of various countries, and has also been strongly protested by the Dutch media.

In the end, even UEFA had to send officials to warn the two teams:

"This game will become a key monitoring target of UEFA. If a player uses non-competitive deliberate killing tactics during the game to maliciously injure the opponent's players, once UEFA recognizes it as malicious injury, he will face serious problems. The worst punishment, both for the player and the club."

The official language of UEFA warned the two teams and did not specify Zenit St. Petersburg, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that UEFA warned Zenit St. Petersburg because their fans and media mentioned the Olympic Games before the game. Regarding the matter of the finals, Jiang Xiaolin was brought up to be careful about breaking his leg.

It can be said that Zenit St. Petersburg's pre-match psychological warfare not only failed to achieve results, but put a layer of shackles on itself.

If it is normal, if you foul, you will foul, and if you hurt someone, you will hurt someone. You may apologize after the game, and there will be no suspension, and the injured person will consider himself unlucky.

But the result has now attracted UEFA's strong attention. Whether Zenit St. Petersburg dares to hurt people maliciously, it really needs to be carefully considered.

For the individual players, I am afraid that no one would dare to do such a stupid thing at the risk of offending UEFA and being suspended for a long time.

If it succeeds, it is the club and the team that benefit, but if it fails, it is itself that suffers.

As long as the head is not stupid, no player will dare to do such intentional hurtful things again.

However, even so, some media still went to interview Jiang Xiaolin, asking him his opinion on the remarks made by Zenit St. Petersburg fans and the media, and asking him whether he would be afraid.

Not every media supported Jiang Xiaolin and Alkmaar.

Like the pro-Ajax media, they can't wait for Alkmaar to lose and be eliminated.

Jiang Xiaolin has a dark history of being kicked out of the Ajax youth training camp, but every once in a while, he is picked up by the media and slapped Ajax in the face.

Therefore, they interviewed Jiang Xiaolin with the mentality of watching the excitement. No matter whether Jiang Xiaolin was tit-for-tat or cowardly retreated, they could find something to talk about.

But Jiang Xiaolin was not fooled by them, he just smiled and said that it would be fine for everyone to meet on the field.

In fact, it is not that Jiang Xiaolin has so much experience in dealing with this problem, but because Jiang Xiaolin was inspired by Van Gaal when he clamored to score at least 4 goals in two rounds before the game and set a new UEFA Cup scoring record in a single season. The assignment of Zenit St. Petersburg is playing psychological warfare, setting off smoke bombs, and disturbing the opponent's tactical arrangements.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaolin would be heavily marked by the opponent, Van Gaal asked Jiang Xiaolin to increase the fire in the interview before the game, so that the opponent's marking of Jiang Xiaolin would be more stringent, so that the other Alkmaar players liberated.

In other words, in this game, Van Gaal actually positioned Jiang Xiaolin as a tactical center, not an offensive finisher.
