God of Green

Although it was at home, Roda JC's luck in scoring goals was always a little bit off, resulting in not being able to score even a single goal.

Until the 78th minute, when there were only more than ten minutes left before the end of the game and Roda JC's players were losing confidence, No. 20 midfielder Linma's powerful volley from the top of the penalty area hit the calf of Alkmaar's No. 4 center back Hector Moreno, causing a change in line, catching goalkeeper Romero off guard and failing to save the ball.

Roda JC finally scored a point with a lucky change in line. More than 15,000 fans in the stands seemed to see hope. They all stood up, constantly applauded, cheered, screamed, shouted slogans, sang team songs, and cheered for Roda JC, hoping that the home team players would continue to work hard to equalize or even surpass the score.

It was indeed a bit desperate when they were two goals behind, but after falling behind by only one goal, Roda JC's players became energetic.

A one-goal difference could lead to a reversal at any time, even in the last second of the game.

Otherwise, there would be no last-second goal.

Therefore, in the next game, Roda JC began to increase its offense again, hoping to see if it could score another goal and equalize the score in the last minute.

The consequence of increasing the offense is naturally a decline in defensive ability, which is an extreme that cannot be taken into account at the same time.

Especially in the final stage of the game, when the physical strength of the players on both sides has been exhausted to the limit, it is even more difficult to take care of both ends.

In the 83rd minute, Alkmaar made another quick counterattack by breaking through the wing.

However, Simon Poulsen's final bottom cross was too big, and it did not pass to Jiang Xiaolin's head who rushed into the penalty area, but flew high to the position near the corner of the penalty area at the back point.

Lux, who rushed up diagonally behind Jiang Xiaolin, unloaded the ball, but there were also Roda JC players who were about to stick to him.

Therefore, Lux didn't waste time. After unloading the ball, he just made a slight adjustment and took a long shot, but the angle was slightly right and was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Castro.

As time passed, the players of Roda JC began to get more and more impatient.

If they were still two goals behind, maybe everyone would just give up.

But only one goal behind gave them unlimited hope. They always felt that if they strengthened their offense a little more, they might score a goal and tie the score.

In particular, in the 85th minute, Roda JC made a cross from the wing, and Diodi followed up in the middle and volleyed the ball. The ball rubbed the post and slipped out of the door dangerously, which gave people unlimited hope. They always felt that if they controlled the shot more accurately next time, they might score.

In order to get the next chance to shoot, Roda JC invested more manpower and pressed more closely as a whole.

It's not that they didn't know the threat of Jiang Xiaolin.

After one game, everyone knows that this 16-year-old Chinese striker is the most dangerous player of Alkmaar and the offensive core of the opponent.

Scoring twice is the most direct proof.

Jiang Xiaolin's height, physique, speed, shooting, heading, jumping, running without the ball, etc. are all top-notch on the field.

As long as he is a little careless and gives Jiang Xiaolin a chance to shoot, Jiang Xiaolin may score.

After Jiang Xiaolin scored the second goal, Roda JC almost sent someone to closely guard Jiang Xiaolin, and then through strict regional joint defense, Jiang Xiaolin was restricted and did not score the third goal.

Every time Jiang Xiaolin was defended, two or three people had to be deployed.

But as time went by, Roda JC's need for offense became more and more urgent, and it was no longer possible to take into account the close defense of Jiang Xiaolin.

After all, they were the lagging side, and they were only one goal behind.

Many people were lucky, thinking that even if they relaxed their defense on Jiang Xiaolin, Jiang Xiaolin might not score a goal.

Even if Alkmaar scored again, it didn't make much difference whether they were one goal behind or two goals behind, they would lose anyway.

And if they stepped up their attack and successfully scored a goal to tie the score, they would win.

Therefore, as the game time was getting closer and closer to the end, Roda JC's formation was getting closer and closer, and fewer and fewer people stayed in the backcourt to prevent Jiang Xiaolin from counterattacking.

Therefore, the closer the game was to the end, the greater Jiang Xiaolin's chances were.

If it were an ordinary player, he might not pursue goals tirelessly.

But Jiang Xiaolin is not an ordinary player. He has to try his best in every game and use his best performance to fight for a higher system rating, a higher rating coefficient and the final experience reward.

Therefore, when Roda JC's backcourt defense became more and more empty in the final stage of the game, Jiang Xiaolin was not just strolling., but constantly adjusted their positions, ready to counterattack at any time.

Finally, the 90-minute regular game time was over, and the referee gave 3 minutes of extra time.

Roda JC's attack was even more crazy, with a completely last-ditch attitude.

In the 91st minute, Roda JC got a corner kick opportunity through an attack.

So, all the players of Roda JC ran up to participate in the corner kick attack, and the two central defenders Sankai and Hinton were naturally the main players.

Because they were the tallest.

Jiang Xiaolin naturally returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

But Jiang Xiaolin didn't head the ball, and Roda JC's players didn't head it either. It was headed out of the penalty area by Alkmaar's central defender Klavan.

As soon as the ball left the penalty area, the players of both sides immediately rushed out of the penalty area like water.

Jiang Xiaolin, who had full acceleration, took the lead. He quickly surpassed most of the players while running without the ball, and rushed into the first group of counterattacks where Hamdaoyi and Martens were already outside the penalty area.

Although Roda JC still had some players running ahead of Jiang Xiaolin and others, because they all participated in the corner attack just now, both sides were crowded in Alkmaar's half, and they were also rushing back to defend at this time. There were few people in the first line of defense.

The key is that the two central defenders Sankai and Hinton were slow and could not keep up with Jiang Xiaolin and others. A full-back and two midfielders organized the defense in front of Jiang Xiaolin and others.

On the Alkmaar side, after three passes and two falls, the ball fell to Martens' feet. On both sides, Jiang Xiaolin and Hamdaoyi were advancing in unison, and quickly rushed across the center line and entered Roda JC's half, forming a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin and his three players were rushing forward, while Roda JC's three players were retreating, and their speeds were obviously different.

Soon, the defensive midfielder Pamoduka, who was facing Martens, had to stop and prepare to steal Martens.

Otherwise, Martens could pass him by just poking the ball to the side.
