Chapter 72 Hat Trick

The ball shoveled by Joel landed at the feet of midfielder Douglas.

Douglas, who didn't hear the referee's whistle, naturally didn't care about the protests of the Groningen players, and directly passed the ball to Bruno on the right with a long pass.

Seeing that Joel made a successful tackle and the ball was about to fall to Douglas' feet, Jiang Xiaolin turned around and rushed towards Groningen's half.

In front of him, there was only a central defender from Groningen retreating and blocking Jiang Xiaolin's running position.

Then, Douglas's pass fell to Bruno, and Bruno started to counterattack with the ball.

Because it was Groningen's attack just now, and Groningen's formation was quite high, Bruno got the ball and there was only one full-back in front of him.

On his left, Cagle turned and ran towards the opponent's half at the same time as Jiang Xiaolin, but not far from Bruno.

Therefore, Bruno did not try to break through the opponent's full-back who was retreating and stuck. Instead, he kicked the ball to Bruno, and then he suddenly accelerated and rushed past the opponent's full-back without the ball.

Cagle, who was sprinting, also did not stop the ball, because he was also surrounded by a Groningen centre-back trying to grab the ball.

He didn't stop the ball and kicked the ball diagonally to the side, which is the direction Bruno went forward.

This is a standard two over one cooperation.

Bruno and Cagle successfully passed the last full-back with a two-to-one cooperation, and then dribbled the ball quickly to the bottom.

In the middle, Jiang Xiaolin followed up at high speed.

Because of Groningen's heavy pressure just now, there are only two central defenders and one full-back in the backcourt.

The full-back was stuck behind by Bruno, and another central defender had to defend Cagle, who was going forward. There was only one central defender beside Jiang Xiaolin.

Even though the central defender originally stood relatively far back and had an advantage over Jiang Xiaolin in returning to defense, how could his speed keep up with Jiang Xiaolin?
Even if he got stuck while retreating, he couldn't get stuck in the strong and fast Jiang Xiaolin.

The two ran to the top of the arc of the penalty area in the entanglement of the position, and when Jiang Xiaolin overtook the central defender and rushed into the penalty area first, Bruno, who dribbled the ball down from the side, chased the full-back who was chasing back at full speed. He was stuck behind, and when Jiang Xiaolin was about to overtake the central defender and rushed into the penalty area, he made a timely low pass and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Bruno, who was off balance, was then pushed to the ground by the full-back behind him.

But to no avail, the ball has been passed by Bruno.

The ball from Bruno rolled obliquely into the penalty area.

When Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area, he suddenly accelerated again and stuck the central defender behind him.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin, who rushed into the penalty area, volleyed at the ball rolling from the side, shot the ball from the Groningen goalkeeper's crotch, and then flew into the goal behind the goalkeeper.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiaolin, who lost his balance, fell into the penalty area.

However, the ball has already flown into the goal.

Jiang Xiaolin staged a hat-trick in the 87th minute through a counterattack and scored another goal, helping the Alkmaar youth team lead the Groningen youth team 4-1 at home.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin, who fell to the ground and rolled around, stood up, excitedly rushed towards the stands, and galloped to celebrate.

Although he didn't know where Van Gaal was, but with a hat-trick and an assist, he was sure that he would be able to impress Van Gaal in the stands.

Just as Jiang Xiaolin thought, Van Gaal in the stands, like other fans, stood up excitedly and applauded Jiang Xiaolin vigorously.

Although he didn't cheer and scream like other fans, the excitement in Van Gaal's heart was not inferior to that of the fans.

Looking at the Chinese teenager surrounded by his teammates on the sidelines, Van Gaal was convinced that he had found Alkmaar's main attacker in the second half of the season.

Hat-trick + 1 assist in this game, 4 goals + 13 assists in 2 games of the Eredivisie, this performance must be transferred to the first team immediately.

The forwards of the first team are really disappointing, and Jiang Xiaolin must be transferred to the first team immediately.

Regardless of his other skills, Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills, header, and physical fitness alone are enough for him to gain a foothold in the first team and become the main striker.

What's more, Jiang Xiaolin's skills in stopping the ball, dribbling, and passing the ball are not bad now, which is a huge improvement from his level a month ago.

If the first team didn't lose five games in a row, Van Gaal might have more patience and let Jiang Xiaolin continue to exercise slowly in the youth team.

But at this time, Van Gaal, who had already lost five games in a row, was under great pressure and couldn't wait any longer.Otherwise, he wouldn't come to the youth team to watch a live game today when the first team is going to an away game tomorrow.

Jiang Xiaolin must be transferred to the first team immediately to change Alkmaar's offensive ability.

Otherwise, the team may continue to lose six, seven, and eight.

As a well-known coach, Van Gaal has achieved such results this season. His face is really dull, and he has become the laughing stock of the Eredivisie.

What's more, now that he has transferred Jiang Xiaolin to the first team, he can also let Jiang Xiaolin adapt to the game environment and rhythm of the Eredivisie in the remaining games of this season, and then become the striker of Alkmaar next season sharp knife.

Even though the results this season have been a mess, and now he has suffered a five-game losing streak, Van Gaal still has not given up the idea of ​​​​bringing Alkmaar a championship.

After all, he is not an ordinary coach, he is a famous football coach who has coached Ajax, Barcelona and the Dutch national team.

You can't coach Alkmaar for four years without a single trophy.

There is nothing we can do this season, and Van Gaal puts his hopes on next season.

And Jiang Xiaolin in front of him is one of his trump cards for Alkmaar to compete for the championship next season.

……

On the court, after Jiang Xiaolin and others celebrated for a while, the game continued.

Groningen, who was already behind by three goals, could no longer afford the confidence to turn defeat into victory, and completely lost motivation.

In the remaining few minutes, both sides were a little lazy, only Jiang Xiaolin was still running hard for a better game rating, striving for a chance to shoot.

In the 91st minute of stoppage time, Jiang Xiaolin, who kept running to find opportunities, really almost scored again.

He snatched the first header from a wide cross from Langlot and almost completed the big four.

However, under the interference of the opponent's defender, the ball was slightly deflected, and finally hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area, and was cleared by another opponent's defender out of the sideline.

Although the goal was missed in the end, everyone was shocked and admired by Jiang Xiaolin's spirit of fighting until the last moment of the game.
