God of Green

Jiang Xiaolin's goal excited the TV commentator Jones, who shouted loudly in the commentary booth:

"Goooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball went in, Jiang from Alkmaar."

"Jiang scored again. After just one game of silence, Jiang started to score again."

"This was a header from a cross from the wing. Jiang's advantage in the air was obvious. Whether it was height, physique, jumping, heading skills, grabbing points, etc., Jiang had advantages over Utrecht's defenders."

"Van Gaal made a cross from the wing and made Jiang the core of the attack, which was really appropriate."

"It's really terrifying. With this goal, Jiang has scored 6 goals in 4 games, plus an assist."

"Jiang is really a genius."

Of course, Jones only praised Jiang Xiaolin from the perspective of discovering a new star and a genius, and felt that the Eredivisie might have another superstar.

And those reporters from the Chinese press corps were wholeheartedly excited about Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

The heavy rain made the reporters wearing raincoats and collecting news on the spot very unhappy, but Jiang Xiaolin's goal swept away everyone's gloomy spirits, and they immediately applauded and cheered excitedly, and even discussed with each other after the game.

"Awesome, Jiang Xiaolin scored again."

"This goal is of great quality, and that diving header is so comfortable to watch."

"Yeah! In the last game, Jiang Xiaolin was restricted so much by Feyenoord. I thought Utrecht could also restrict him and let him start to score a goal drought!"

"I didn't expect that Jiang Xiaolin would start scoring again after just one game."

"Before, Chinese players didn't even have a goal in the Eredivisie, but Jiang Xiaolin has scored 6 goals in just 4 games, and has an assist."

"Comparing people is so annoying! If the National Olympic Team doesn't recruit Jiang Xiaolin, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."

"Next time if they don't recruit Jiang Xiaolin into the team, I will scold them to death."

"Yes, the national team is supposed to be scolded."

...

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin, after completing the diving header, naturally fell to the grass in the penalty area with a bang, and water splashed everywhere. Jiang Xiaolin's face and body were covered with mud and water.

But Jiang Xiaolin immediately turned over and got up, without even wiping the mud off his face, and rushed to the photographer on the sidelines, clenching his fists and yelling in front of the camera.

Although he didn't pay special attention, Jiang Xiaolin also saw on TV news that the Dutch media said that he lacked experience, and the goals in the previous few games were just because the opponents were not familiar with him.

As long as the opponents in the future pay enough attention to him like Feyenoord, it will be difficult for him to score again.

Jiang Xiaolin was naturally a little unhappy about this.

Before scoring, he could only hold it in.

Now that he scored, Jiang Xiaolin rushed to the camera to vent.

Didn't you say that it was difficult for me to score again?

Now that I scored, I just want to slap you in the face!

After venting in front of the camera, Jiang Xiaolin was hugged by his teammates who rushed up, and everyone celebrated in the rain.

After celebrating for 20 to 30 seconds, everyone walked back to their own half, Utrecht kicked the ball in the middle circle, and the game continued.

Utrecht was unwilling to accept the fact that their lead was wiped out, and launched a stronger attack on Alkmaar's goal.

Although their center forward Robin Nilsi's aerial combat ability is not as good as Jiang Xiaolin, he is not completely useless.

A useless person cannot be the starting center forward of an Eredivisie team, and he is the No. 9 player.

The No. 9 jersey is not something that anyone can wear.

In the 31st minute, Utrecht's winger made a cross from the bottom, and sent a good quality cross.

Robin Nilsi broke into the penalty area, overpowered Alkmaar center back Ragnar Klavan who was defending him, and grabbed the first point and made a powerful header.

If Sergio Romero had not performed exceptionally, subconsciously waved his hand, poked the ball with his fingertips, and made the ball change direction, hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line, Robin Nilsi would have scored.

Even though the ball didn't go in, Alkmaar was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat. The excitement of the goal just now calmed down a little.

The first half ended with the two teams fighting for the ball, and the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 1-1.

Jiang Xiaolin created two more threats after scoring the goal. Although he didn't score, it was still much better than the previous game.

Therefore, during the halftime break, Van Gaal asked the team to continue to use Jiang Xiaolin as the offensive core in the second half and conduct aerial bombing.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and continued to fight.

The heavy rain still didn't stop, and everyone continued to fight in the rain.

Alkmaar originally wanted to use Jiang Xiaolin's aerialThe advantage is to score as soon as possible and reverse the score.

Unexpectedly, it was Utrecht who scored first.

This time it was not a lucky goal.

In the 59th minute, Utrecht's full-back Yun Dijiek unexpectedly inserted an assist, AZ was a little caught off guard.

Finally, Yun Dijiek successfully crossed the ball after two two-on-one cooperation with his teammates. Forward Rossini grabbed the first point outside the small penalty area and headed the ball into the goal guarded by Romero.

The distance was too close.

Romero had no choice.

Utrecht, who played at home, scored another goal, rewriting the score to 2-1, and AZ fell behind by one point again.

The home fans in the stands once again cheered loudly to celebrate the lead of the host team.

However, the players of AZ were not hit.

Only one point behind, the situation could be reversed at any time.

As the game continued, Alkmaar continued to use Jiang Xiaolin as the core of the attack, focusing on the tactics of passing from the wing and competing for headers in the air.

But Utrecht had basically figured out Alkmaar's tactics. As long as someone dribbled the ball down the wing, there would be at least two players in the middle to guard Jiang Xiaolin tightly, making it difficult for Jiang Xiaolin to successfully compete for headers.

Even if he got the first point, it would be difficult to form a threatening header under the interference of the opponent.

Seeing this, Maarten Martens, the core of the organization, had an idea and secretly conveyed the new idea to Hamdaoyi and the two wingers.

So, everyone saw that in the 73rd minute, the forward Dembele who cut inside after breaking through the wing did not kick the ball to the middle, but made an inverted triangle pass back to the top of the penalty area.

Because Jiang Xiaolin entered the penalty area and took away two or three Utrecht defenders, there was a short gap at the top of the penalty area.

Martens ran over diagonally and shot a powerful shot in response to Dembele's pass. The ball passed through Utrecht's penalty area like a sharp arrow and went into the goal along the left goal post.

Under the cover of Jiang Xiaolin, Alkmaar finally equalized the score through Dembele's assist to Martens, and the score between the two sides became 2-2.
