God of Greenery

Facing Groningen's two defenders rushing from the penalty area to block him, Jiang Xiaolin was naturally not arrogant enough to think he could break through.

Although his dribbling has 14 points, but the breakthrough skill has not yet been activated, and the attribute value is unknown, but it is definitely not very high, and it is still far from the highest level of human-ball integration.

It's okay to let him carry the ball forward without a close guard, but asking him to carry the ball past two opposing players' defenses is a joke.

Jiang Xiaolin could only pass the ball out.

However, where to pass it on is also particular.

At this time, Cagle ran diagonally towards the bottom line in the penalty area, as if he wanted to meet Jiang Xiaolin on the bottom line, but a central defender followed him.

Joel and Langlot are on the left and haven't run over yet, because the two sides were attacking and defending on the left just now, and there are the most people on the left.

It was precisely because the offensive and defensive centers of both sides were on the left just now, and Joel's wide-ranging transfer allowed Jiang Xiaolin to easily unload the ball without anyone defending.

In addition, Bruno was running towards Jiang Xiaolin in the middle outside the penalty area. Like Cagel, he made a gesture of approaching Jiang Xiaolin, attracting a Groningen midfielder to follow him.

Only Douglas suddenly started from near the center line and ran straight towards the penalty area, but was temporarily unguarded. No one in Groningen seemed to notice him.

Everyone stared nervously at this small area near the restricted area.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaolin flicked the ball to the bottom line first, acting like passing the ball to Cagle in the direction of the bottom line, causing the two guards to quickly move two steps toward the bottom line, blocking Jiang Xiaolin's pass or swaying away The line of the angled direct shot.

However, after the two guards moved towards the baseline, Jiang Xiaolin immediately made a smash and dunked the ball back, avoiding the two guards and dodging a gap in the middle of a cross.

Then, without waiting for the two defenders to turn back to intercept, Jiang Xiaolin immediately kicked the ball to the top of the central penalty area after dunking the ball.

At this time, everyone followed the rolling direction of the ball and found Douglas, who was plugging in at a high speed.

The Groningen players who were closer to the goal rushed to grab the ball to clear the siege, and the goalkeeper also changed his face and moved from the right to the center.

But no one is as fast as Douglas.

Douglas, the captain of the Alkmaar Youth Team who came in from behind, ran up with the fastest sprint speed, facing the ball crossed by Jiang Xiaolin, and volleyed vigorously without stopping the ball. Fly up by inertia.

With Douglas still in the air, the ball was already flying like a cannonball, past the thigh of the Groningen player who came to make a clearance but was a little bit late, passed through the penalty area, and then slammed into the left goal like a cannonball.

The goalkeeper who jumped back from the right still couldn't catch up after all, and he missed Douglas's powerful long shot from outside the penalty area by a hair.

In the 71st minute, Jiang Xiaolin assisted Douglas and scored another goal, helping the Alkmaar youth team lead the Groningen youth team 3-1 at home.

Douglas, who scored the goal, rushed towards Jiang Xiaolin after he landed, hugged him and said, "Thank you, Jiang, the pass was good!"

Jiang Xiaolin also hugged Douglas and said, "Congratulations to the captain, the goal is beautiful."

Then, other teammates gathered around to celebrate the goal, and coaches such as Crofts, substitute players, and fans on the sidelines also applauded and cheered.

In the stands, Van Gaal, who was wrapped in a coat, also clapped with a smile on his face.

He applauded not for Douglas's goal, but for what Jiang Xiaolin showed in this attack.

The highlight of this ball is not Douglas's goal, but Jiang Xiaolin's ability to easily unload the ball in the face of left midfielder Joel's wide-range air transfer.

This stopping technique surprised Van Gaal.

Based on Jiang Xiaolin's ball-stopping skills in the first-team trial training a month ago, he thought that Jiang Xiaolin must not be able to stop the ball well, and he might have to roll several meters away.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin stopped the ball beside him easily and did not roll out.

This is rare.

Then, in the process of unloading the ball and cutting inside, Jiang Xiaolin also easily controlled the ball to his side without making any mistakes.

This level of dribbling is also passable.

Then the smash passed the defender, and the accurate cross pass assisted Douglas to score, which made Van Gaal even more satisfied.

Although Jiang Xiaolin's passing skills in the last assist were not superb, they were accurate. He passed the ball where it should go and assisted Douglas to score with a long shot.

Jiang Xiaolin's stopping, dribbling, spiking, and short passing skills displayed during this attack are obviously much better than a month ago.

It has fully met the Eredivisie appearance standard.

No wonder Van Gaal was all smiles.

Today's inspection has fully achieved his goal of watching the game live.

Considering Jiang Xiaolin's record of scoring twice + one assist, as well as his skills in stopping the ball, dribbling, short passing, and ball control during the game, Van Gaal has decided to transfer Jiang Xiaolin to the first team.

Although Jiang Xiaolin's other skills are not as good as his heading and shooting skills, they are already up to the Eredivisie standard, and not purely flawed or short board like he saw a month ago.

However, the game wasn't over yet, so Van Gaal continued to sit in the stands without moving.

After Douglas and others finished celebrating, the game continued.

With only about 20 minutes left in the game, the Groningen youth team, which was behind by two goals, began to increase their offensive strength and press forward frantically. At one point, the Alkmaar youth team was pressed into their own half and could not move. Lian Jiang Xiaolin and Kagel almost They all retreated to the center line.

However, the Groningen youth team does not have such a superb shooting player as Jiang Xiaolin.

Through continuous efforts, they got two shots. As a result, one missed the post, one went over the crossbar, and they didn't even hit a shot within the range of the goal frame.

Originally, the game came to the end of the period, coupled with the continuous high-intensity attack for more than ten minutes but failed to hit a single shot within the goal frame, the players in Groningen were a little discouraged.

As a result, in the 87th minute, the No. 12 Groningen midfielder who was holding the ball was not paying attention, and was shoveled away by Joel with a shovel from the side.

Although No. 12 was shoveled to the ground by Joel, the Groningen players aroused strong indignation, saying that Joel had fouled.

But the referee did not blow his whistle, but signaled the game to continue.

Because Joel tackled the ball before bringing down the opponent's No. 12 player, it was a good shot.
