God of Greenery

The closer to the end of the game, the more intense the fight between the two sides, the more intense the competition.

Because Alkmaar wants to win and Twente doesn't want to lose either.

After more than ten minutes of game testing, the Alkmaar players are convinced that Jiang Xiaolin can not only adapt to the Eredivisie, but also play well.

That being the case, why not throw the ball over Jiang Xiaolin's head.

envious?envy?Afraid Jiang Xiaolin would steal everyone's limelight?
Do not make jokes.

Now everyone in Alkmaar thinks about winning a victory first, and everything else is secondary.

Including Hamdoy, although he has a competitive relationship with Jiang Xiaolin, he also wants to win, and he doesn't want to continue to be bombarded by the media and fans.

Therefore, in the last few minutes of stoppage time, everyone made a concerted effort to attack, desperately trying to pass the ball to Jiang Xiaolin's head.

But such an intention is too obvious.

It cannot be said that Jiang Xiaolin's ability to compete for the top is weak, but when everyone in Twente realizes that Alkmaar is looking for Jiang Xiaolin, it is relatively easier to defend.

No matter who the ball is passed to, Jiang Xiaolin should be kept in the head office first, right?
One person can't keep up, and several people take turns defending the head office in zone defense, right?
Can't win the fight for the top, can't it be done by pulling or bumping?

As long as Jiang Xiaolin's movements are slightly deformed, it will affect the quality of the competition. The defenders of the Eredivisie are not comparable to the defenders of the youth team.

Regardless of defensive ability or experience, Twente's defenders are much better than what Jiang Xiaolin encountered in the Heqing League.

Even though his ability has improved a bit now, he can no longer score goals as easily as he did in the youth team.

In the 91st minute, Jiang Xiaolin successfully grabbed another point for the top, but was deformed by the pull and collision of the two Twente defenders, and the ball flew off the crossbar.

Seeing the passage of time, Jiang Xiaolin became more and more anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Van Gaal gave him too little time.

If he was played at half-time and played like this, he would definitely score at least one goal.

But he couldn't control Van Gaal, and he couldn't control the referee, he could only watch the game time go by.

Fortunately, the players in the Eredivisie are not puppets, not fools who are completely controlled by the head coach from a distance.

Someone in the Alkmaar team noticed an abnormality in the penalty area: as long as Jiang Xiaolin rushed in, at least three or four Twente players would surround Jiang Xiaolin.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin can grab the first point, it is difficult to head the ball into the goal under this defensive pressure.

So, in the 92nd minute, No. 11 midfielder Marten Martens went down from the wing and found that Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area and attracted four or five defensive players from the opponent. Smash the ball past his full-back and start cutting inside.

Martens' inside cut disrupted Twente's defensive rhythm, and another central defender had to rush out of the penalty area to stop Martens' inside cut.

But Martens didn't give him a chance.

Before reaching the penalty area line, Martens made an inverted triangle pass to the ground and passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area in the middle.

The ball was not given to Jiang Xiaolin, who was surrounded by heavy opponents in the penalty area.

Martens took advantage of the opponent's mentality of surrounding Jiang Xiaolin with heavy troops to prevent him from competing for the top in front of the goal. He attracted most of the opponent's players into the penalty area, and then passed the ball back to his teammates outside the penalty area.

The No. 6 midfielder David Mendes, who was plugged in at high speed, faced the ball from the inverted triangle passed by Martens, and volleyed the ball non-stop at the top of the arc in the penalty area, and hit the ball to the far corner of the goal .

The ball vacated slightly, and flew low to the far corner of the goal against the turf.

This is the shot angle Mendes deliberately chose.

Just now Martens' inside cut attracted goalkeeper Baosuka to the near corner.

His shot hits the far corner, which is easier to succeed.

If the ball is not touched, it will actually fly into the far goal because the goalkeeper is too late to save.

And the ball is so fast that most people don't even know it.

As a result, the ball was still subconsciously blocked by Twente's No. 6 defender Balama, and then popped out of the baseline.

"Ah... shot... oh..."

The sighs of the home fans were resounding over the entire stadium.

David Mendes also held his head and sighed, annoyed that he missed the last chance to score.

But Martens has no regrets.

Because Alkmaar has another corner.

Martens and captain Jalynes called all the teammates in the backcourt to come up to participate in this corner kick attack, including the central defender and midfielder, all stood in the penalty area, and the two full-backs stood outside the penalty area, ready to shoot at any time .

Only one goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, remains at the back.

The referee has already started looking at his watch. This is likely to be the last attack of the game.

Jiang Xiaolin in the penalty area suddenly found that he was facing much less pressure in this last attack.

He looked around and found that after almost all his teammates rushed up, the opponent had to divide his forces to mark other teammates.

There are only one or two defensive players around Jiang Xiaolin, and one of them is shorter than him.

Almost as tall as him, only Twente's No. 5 central defender Sunida.

The height is the same as him, but the bounce is definitely not as good as him.

If the ball landed on his head, Jiang Xiaolin believed that the chances of success in this top attack would be great.

Martens, who had noticed the abnormal temporary change of tactics just now, discovered the difference in the penalty area again this time.

Because of the increase in the number of teammates, Jiang Xiaolin faced less defensive pressure than before, and the number of opposing defenders following him was less.

Just now, the inverted triangle was passed back to David Mendes because Mendes had a higher chance of getting a shot than Jiang Xiaolin.

But now, everyone is in the penalty area, and Jiang Xiaolin, who has the best jumping ability, the best heading skills, and the defensive pressure he faces is not as great as before, naturally becomes the one with the highest probability of success in the top fight.

Martens is a person who adapts to changes, and he decided to find Jiang Xiaolin again this time.

Because of Jiang Xiaolin's body, height, jumping, and header skills, he poses the greatest threat to the opponent's goal in corner kick tactics.

Having made up his mind, Martens made a four-finger gesture: This is the No. 4 tactic agreed upon in training, which was passed on to Jiang Xiaolin, and the others wanted to cover Jiang Xiaolin.

Alkmaar's players understand.

So, when Martens started his run-up, the Alkmaar players in the penalty area began to scurry around, disrupting Twente's defense.

Jiang Xiaolin also took two steps outside the small penalty area, causing the two players following him to retreat.

But then, Martens finished his run-up and took the free throw.
