God of Green

When Jiang Xiaolin first came to the first team for a trial during the winter break, except for his physical fitness and shooting skills, his other skills were almost amateur.

Unexpectedly, after just over two months, Jiang Xiaolin's ball control, short passes, dribbling, teamwork, etc. have all undergone earth-shaking changes, reaching the pinnacle of master-level skills.

Two months ago, Jiang Xiaolin often couldn't stop the ball steadily, not to mention long passes, even ordinary passes, and stopped several meters away.

And now?

Jiang Xiaolin can almost stop the ball 100% of the time, at his feet.

Even with long passes in the air, Jiang Xiaolin can stop the ball with ease, rarely making mistakes, unless someone interferes with him.

Other dribbling, short passes and other skills have all improved rapidly, and soon surpassed the team's original players.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Van Gaal and others would never believe that there are such geniuses in the world.

...

A few days passed in a flash, and another match day came, and it was Alkmaar's home court again.

Alkmaar got the chance to play two consecutive home games.

The 3-0 victory in the last game made the fans even more enthusiastic. In this game, the AFAS Stadium was full, and the fans filled the entire stadium with their enthusiasm.

This time, Alkmaar's opponent is Vitesse, the team where Yu Hai is.

But Yu Hai can't play in this game because he has been injured and returned to China to recuperate.

This made Chinese reporters and fans very disappointed.

If Yu Hai was not injured, this would be a derby between Chinese players in the Eredivisie, how interesting it would be!

Unfortunately, it can't be seen now. If you want to watch the Eredivisie Chinese derby, you can only wait for next season.

Before the game started, Jiang Xiaolin spent 1 attribute point to increase the 13-point fried meatballs to 14 points, and the attribute point balance was 30.

On March 23, 2008, Sunday, at 14:30 in the afternoon, with the referee's whistle, the 31st round of the 2007/2008 Eredivisie season Alkmaar vs. Vitesse officially started at Alkmaar's home stadium AFAS Stadium.

Before the game, Alkmaar had 43 points and ranked 8th in the Eredivisie; Vitesse had 40 points and ranked 11th in the Eredivisie, with a difference of only 3 points between the two teams.

The 10th place was Utrecht with 41 points, and the 9th place was Roda JC with 42 points.

The points of the four teams were not much different, and the biggest difference was only 3 points between Vitesse and Alkmaar, which was only a game difference.

Vitesse certainly still had a chance to enter the top ten UEFA Cup play-off zone.

Therefore, after the game started, Vitesse played very actively, and did not retreat at all because it was an away game, nor was it afraid because Alkmaar won 3-0 at home last time.

They are the team that is lagging behind in the ranking. If they want to counterattack and enter the top ten, they can only win. A draw is useless.

Because of the goal difference, even if they get a draw and Utrecht loses, Vitesse will still be ranked lower than Utrecht.

So Vitesse can only attack.

On the contrary, Alkmaar, who is playing at home, played more steadily and did not attack the opponent desperately.

Because of Jiang Xiaolin's physical, speed, and aerial advantages, Alkmaar has a relatively advantageous defensive counterattack.

And with the advantage of ranking, Alkmaar does not need to rush at all and can slowly look for opportunities.

Vitesse certainly knows what Alkmaar is thinking, but they have no choice, they can only attack.

But they don't have an excellent shooter like Jiang Xiaolin, and they always waste opportunities in the final shot, and even threatening shots are difficult to make.

For example, in the 4th minute, Vitesse passed the ball into the penalty area, and their striker Santos successfully grabbed the point and got the opportunity to shoot.

As a result, the ball missed the post.

In the 7th minute, Wester passed the ball to the front of Alkmaar's penalty area.

Seeing that the ball could not be passed into the penalty area, Vitesse's forward Burnia took a long shot near the corner of the penalty area, but it flew high over the crossbar and was not threatening at all.

Vitesse could not make any attacks within the goal frame, but Alkmaar, because of Jiang Xiaolin's presence, was a great threat as long as there was a counterattack.

In the 5th minute, when Alkmaar counterattacked for the first time, Jiang Xiaolin grabbed the first point and completed a shot at the front of the penalty area after receiving the cross pass from forward Schals.

Unfortunately, this was a long shot outside the penalty area. Vitesse's goalkeeper He Fulsing also reacted quickly enough to block the ball and bounce it off the post, and then threw it under him, without giving Jiang Xiaolin a chance to make a supplementary shot.

Despite this, the goal frame range wasThe shot inside still made the home fans of Alkmaar very excited.

Everyone had a hunch that Jiang Xiaolin would score in today's game.

Sure enough, everyone's hunch was soon fulfilled.

Although they saw the threat of Jiang Xiaolin, Vitesse had no choice but to press forward to attack.

They were the ones who fell behind in the rankings, and they happened to be ranked 11th, one place short of entering the top ten.

So, they must score goals, win, and improve their rankings.

For Jiang Xiaolin's threat, they could only pray that Jiang Xiaolin could not score.

But this wish did not come true.

In the 15th minute, Vitesse No. 18 attacking midfielder Onakaya tried to break through with the ball at the front of Alkmaar's penalty area, but David Mendes made an accurate grab and poked the ball away.

The ball rolled in the direction of Yarians.

Seeing Mendes poking the opponent's attacking midfielder's ball, Jiang Xiaolin, Hamdaoyi and other Alkmaar players immediately began to counterattack.

Yarians did not waste time and kicked the ball to the front court with a long pass, letting Jiang Xiaolin compete with the opponent's defender.

Jiang Xiaolin has height, body and speed, and his ability to run without the ball and grab points is also top-notch, and his aerial ball stopping skills are also perfect.

Yarians has confidence in Jiang Xiaolin.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiaolin did not disappoint the captain Yarians.

Although Jiang Xiaolin's initial position was further back than the back line of Vitesse, he still used his speed to rush to the ball landing point with Vitesse's defender Schwartz, and he grabbed the first point and occupied the position with his body.

Schwartz naturally wanted to squeeze Jiang Xiaolin away, but Jiang Xiaolin's strong body prevented Schwartz from succeeding.

Jiang Xiaolin resisted Schwartz's pulling and collision and stopped the aerial ball passed by Yarians steadily.

Jiang Xiaolin's perfect stopping technique allowed him to stop the ball successfully even under the interference of Schwass, without losing his control area.

However, this time he did not unload the ball while running, but stopped the ball.

After stopping the ball, Jiang Xiaolin had to think about how to attack.

Now he was in the middle of a counterattack, and there was no time to waste.
