God of Greenery

After running out of space again, but his teammate's pass was intercepted midway by the opponent's defender, Jiang Xiaolin could only stop, turned around and walked back panting.

Not physically tired, but mentally tired.

After scoring 8 goals in the first two games, Jiang Xiaolin felt a little complacent. He felt that the Heqing League was only at this level, and he could play in the Eredivisie.

Unexpectedly, in today's game, he will taste the strength of his opponent.

In fact, Jiang Xiaolin scored so many goals in the first two games just because he was a pure rookie and the opponent was careless and didn't attract enough attention.

Especially in the last round against Ajax, the opponent was completely stunned by Jiang Xiaolin's lightning goal in the opening 10 seconds and a brace in 2 minutes.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiaolin would definitely not be able to score that many goals.

This game is different.

Jiang Xiaolin scored a full 8 goals in the first two rounds. It is impossible for any opponent to underestimate him, but to study him in depth and carefully.

Feyenoord is also one of the three giants in the Netherlands, and their youth team coaches are also high-level.

After studying the video of the last game, we can see Jiang Xiaolin's strengths and weaknesses.

Obviously, Jiang Xiaolin has good physical fitness and excellent shooting skills. As long as Jiang Xiaolin is given a chance to shoot in the penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin has a high probability of scoring.

But Jiang Xiaolin's shortcomings are also obvious. As long as he can't stop shooting the ball immediately and is disturbed a little, Jiang Xiaolin's threat will plummet.

Because Jiang Xiaolin's skills of stopping the ball, controlling the ball, dribbling, and breaking through are really inferior compared to his shooting skills.

As long as the defensive player can block the shooting route in the first place and stick it up, Jiang Xiaolin basically has no choice but to pass the ball back.

Therefore, after several days of targeted training and defense, it is not surprising that Jiang Xiaolin was restricted in this game.

After all, his offensive method is too single, and the opponent only needs to prevent his non-stop ball and shoot directly at the first time.

As a striker, if you are not proficient in stopping, dribbling, and breakthroughs, you will indeed lose a lot of power.

The predicament Jiang Xiaolin faced was naturally seen by Crofts, and he said to himself: "It seems that something must be changed."

As soon as he thought of it, Crofts took the opportunity to call Bruno on the side to explain something, and then Bruno ran back to the field to convey the coach's new instructions to his teammates.

Next, everyone discovered that the tactics of the Alkmaar youth team had changed.

Previously, after Alkmaar's offense hit the frontcourt, most of them looked for opportunities to pass the ground ball to Jiang Xiaolin so that he could shoot directly without stopping the ball.

But now, after Alkmaar's offense hits the frontcourt, he will distribute the ball to the wing. Usually a wing player rushes up to get the ball, and then makes a pass from the bottom.

Then Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area, used his excellent physical fitness and jumping to compete for the top, and then bombed Feyenoord's goal in the air.

The air bombing in the wing cross is a rare tactic in the technical Dutch football.

But in this match, on Jiang Xiaolin, it couldn't be more suitable.

Because Jiang Xiaolin's ground attack was restricted, but his air control power could not be restricted.

Even if two central defenders came to compete with Jiang Xiaolin for the top, two-on-one, they couldn't restrain Jiang Xiaolin.

First of all, Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness is so good that he is not afraid of a head-on collision with the opponent's central defender.Regardless of physical strength, height, and weight, Jiang Xiaolin is not inferior to these European players.

Secondly, Jiang Xiaolin's jumping ability is very high. He just added it once before the game.With a jump of up to 18 points, he can jump higher than Feyenoord's two central defenders.

If one of the central defenders was not a few centimeters taller than Jiang Xiaolin, no one in Feyenoord would have been able to compete with Jiang Xiaolin.

Even so, facing Alkmaar's wide cross tactics, Feyenoord's two central defenders were extremely difficult to defend.

Finally, it is Jiang Xiaolin's ability to run without the ball.

Although the full value of running without the ball is not equal to the full value of the landing point judgment, it has a strong auxiliary effect on judging the landing point.

Most of the time, Jiang Xiaolin can accurately judge where the ball will land and grab the position before the opponent.

If it weren't for the fact that there were two opponents and he only had one, Jiang Xiaolin would probably have grabbed most of the wide crosses.

In addition to these, the healing potion in the package also invisibly gave Jiang Xiaolin more confidence to dare to fight head-to-head, and he was not afraid of getting hurt at all.

This made Feyenoord's two defenders suffer a lot.

There is also Jiang Xiaolin's full header ability, as long as he hits the header once, it is enough for Feyenoord.

In the 28th minute, after Crofts ordered a change in tactics, Jiang Xiaolin grabbed the ball in the first cross from the wing and hit the goal with a header.

It's a pity that the opponent's central defender interfered, the top was a little crooked, and the ball missed the post.

But not long after, in the 35th minute, when Alkmaar made the third cross from the side, Jiang Xiaolin grabbed the first point in the pinch of the opponent's two central defenders, and headed the ball into Feyeno Germany's door.

Jiang Xiaolin headed the ball in the small penalty area, too close to the goal. The goalkeeper just waved his hand subconsciously, and saw the ball fly into the goal without even touching a hair.

Jiang Xiaolin finally scored.

A header that opened the scoring.

Alkmaar youth team leads Feyenoord youth team 1-0 away.

Crofts on the sidelines applauded with satisfaction, praised Jiang Xiaolin's goal, and was also very happy that his tactics worked.

After the deadlock was broken, Feyenoord could no longer concentrate on limiting Jiang Xiaolin.

They are the second richest team in the standings, and they are still playing at home. In the case of a draw, it is acceptable to shrink their defense, but what's the point of shrinking back to defend when they are behind in the score?
Therefore, after the game restarted, Feyenoord had to press out of the formation and attack in an attempt to equalize the score.

But this just loosened Jiang Xiaolin's ties.

After the number of opponents' defense decreased and the space increased, Jiang Xiaolin's opportunities also increased.

Not only the header from the cross from the wing, Jiang Xiaolin also had more chances to shoot from the ground.

In the 43rd minute, Alkmaar intercepted Feyenoord's offense and played a quick counterattack.

Jiang Xiaolin's keen anti-offside was successful. After receiving a long pass from Langlot, he drove straight in. Before the opponent's defender came back to make up the defense, he almost succeeded in volleying from the far corner outside the penalty area.

If it wasn't for bad luck, the ball hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area and was caught by the goalkeeper, Jiang Xiaolin would have scored twice again.

Although the ball was missed in the end, in this counterattack, Jiang Xiaolin's stoppage and dribbling performance were remarkable, which made Crofts very satisfied.

If Jiang Xiaolin continues to improve at this rate, Crofts feels that it won't take long for Jiang Xiaolin to reach the Eredivisie standard and play for the first team.
