God of Green

Chapter 367

Of course, the players of Udinese also knew that Jiang Xiaolin was very good at free kicks, so under the command of goalkeeper Berardi, they formed a human wall of 6 people.

Because the distance was too far, 6 people were enough to block all of Jiang Xiaolin's straight-line shooting routes, whether near or far.

If he didn't hit an arc, Jiang Xiaolin couldn't shoot.

Then, goalkeeper Berardi stood in the middle of the goal line, waiting for Jiang Xiaolin's shot.

After the human wall of Udinese was arranged and the referee blew the whistle for the free kick, Jiang Xiaolin took a deep breath, exhaled a long breath, and then started to run.

In the expectant eyes of countless fans and fans at the scene and in front of the TV, Jiang Xiaolin used all his strength to kick the ball in the middle and lower part.

No one expected that Jiang Xiaolin would accidentally hit another free kick at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

The ball was instantly lifted into the air by Jiang Xiaolin's full-strength shot, and "swooshed" past the right side of the wall. The Udinese players in the wall only felt the ball leave a trace, and then it disappeared in an instant.

The same thing happened to goalkeeper Berardi.

He originally thought that the distance of more than 30 meters was far enough, and no matter which side Jiang Xiaolin hit, it was enough for him to react and make a timely save.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Xiaolin's free kick would be so powerful and fast.

Although Berardi judged the ball's path and rushed to the near end the moment he saw the ball cross the goal line, it was still too late.

When he just jumped up, he saw in despair that the ball had already drawn an arc and "swooshed" along the post and flew into the near goal.

Berardi's palm was still a long way from the ball, and it was simply out of reach.

By the time his hand reached the ball's flight path, the ball had already flown into the goal and hit the net and fell down.

Berardi's save was too late.

The ball had already flown into the goal before Berardi's palm was in place.

With a "wow", the entire AFAS stadium was boiling, and the fans applauded and screamed excitedly, celebrating Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

Alkmaar City TV commentator Van Kerens in the commentary booth also shouted excitedly at the moment the ball flew into the goal:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball went in!"

"Jiang Xiaolin's free kick went in!"

"Although the Udinese goalkeeper made a save, Jiang Xiaolin's free kick still flew into the goal!"

"1-0, Jiang Xiaolin opened the scoring and gave Alkmaar a 1-0 lead."

"This free kick was so fast that it almost flew into the goal in an instant!"

"I have a feeling that the ball may have been going at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. Let's wait for the technical department to measure it and broadcast the speed data of the ball to everyone later."

The commentators' comments are broadcast to the audience watching the TV station in front of the TV. In fact, there are also live announcers in the stadium who are responsible for announcing the coaches of both teams, the starting lineup, the substitute list, the substitution information, the goal information, the extra time, etc. to the audience.

When the visiting team scores a goal, the live announcer is just doing his job and reading the name of the scorer in a plain manner.

Once a home team player scores a goal, the announcer will speak passionately and mobilize the audience to scream and cheer for the home team's scorer.

This time Jiang Xiaolin's goal was no exception.

He is the most popular player in the AFAS stadium now.

The stadium announcer Dominic, who had just hosted the Golden Boy Award ceremony and interviewed Jiang Xiaolin, shouted loudly into the microphone in the studio:

"In the 26th minute, Alkmaar scored a goal!"

"The goal was scored by..."

When he said this, Dominic stopped.

Because his voice had been transmitted to the ears of every home fan in the stands through the live broadcast.

After Dominic shouted "The goal was scored by...", more than 17,000 home fans shouted in unison at the highest voice: "Jiang Xiaolin!"

Then, Dominic continued to shout: "The goal was scored by..."

The fans continued to shout: "Jiang Xiaolin!"

"The goal was scored by..."

"Jiang Xiaolin!"

The fans shouted Jiang Xiaolin's name in unison for three consecutive times, which made Jiang Liantao and Jiang Xueling, who were at the scene of Alkmaar, feel excited.

They had watched soccer matches at the Chinese Olympics before, but because Chinese people are more reserved, it was difficult to organize a scene like in Europe where the entire stadium would shout a certain slogan.The phenomenon of players' names.

Although I have heard fans shouting Jiang Xiaolin's name in the Olympic arena, it was not as consistent and forceful as the Alkmaar fans at the AFAS Stadium today.

Therefore, this game gave Jiang Liantao and Jiang Xueling different feelings.

The more passionate and unrestrained way of emotional release of European fans made Jiang Liantao more clearly feel how popular her son is in Alkmaar.

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin also celebrated with his teammates and then continued to play.

After the game resumed, Udinese did not seem to be affected by Jiang Xiaolin's goal. They still played their defensive counterattacks step by step, and did not rush to attack and try to score to equalize the score because of the score behind.

The main reason is that the win or loss of this game has no effect on Udinese's group qualification, so the score behind will not make them too anxious.

The same is true for Alkmaar. Whether they win or lose will not affect their qualification. After taking the lead at home, the players relaxed and no longer fought too hard.

Because it is unnecessary.

You know, just three days later, Alkmaar will have another league match against the Dutch Eredivisie powerhouse Utrecht!

Therefore, everyone should save some energy and don't fight too hard in this unimportant game.

However, Jiang Xiaolin is different. He is still actively fighting and attacking.

But his teammates are not strong enough, and Udinese's chain defense is very good. Jiang Xiaolin didn't get any good shooting opportunities in the rest of the first half.

In the 37th minute, Jiang Xiaolin once grabbed the first point in a corner attack and headed the ball. Unfortunately, due to the interference of the opponent's defender, the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and failed to score.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Similar to the situation in the second half of the first half, Alkmaar and Udinese played a game without much intensity. Jiang Xiaolin and several substitute starters from both sides were the only ones who were actively fighting for goals.

These substitute starters were trying to earn their own performance, which had nothing to do with the team's win or loss or whether they qualified.

It was also because there were several substitute starters in his team who were actively fighting that Jiang Xiaolin did not fall into a situation of fighting alone, and occasionally he could still cooperate with his teammates.

In the 53rd minute, Jiang Xiaolin took the first landing point in the penalty area with his back to the goal, and headed the long pass from his wing teammate to the substitute midfielder Van der Velden who was inserted in the back row on the penalty area line.

Van der Velden did not dare to stop the ball under the threat of Udinese defenders, and directly volleyed it, and it was of good quality and hit the goal frame.

Unfortunately, this time Udinese goalkeeper Berardi played well and saved Van der Velden's shot.

It was not until the 68th minute that an exciting scene appeared on the field.

Originally, this was just an ordinary positional attack after Udinese took control of the ball, and even Jiang Xiaolin retreated to the outside of the penalty area to participate in the defense.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin's full-value positioning skills played a role at the critical moment.

Perhaps it was unexpected that Jiang Xiaolin's position selection was so cunning, or perhaps it was because of his poor passing skills. Anyway, the Udinese player who had the ball made a pass error under the pressure of the Alkmaar players, and Jiang Xiaolin suddenly intercepted the ball outside the penalty area.

After grabbing the ball, Udinese player Gaetano, who was about to receive the ball but was a step late, appeared in front of Jiang Xiaolin.

Facing Gaetano's interception, Jiang Xiaolin used his full-value fried meatballs to instantly pass Gaetano, and then strode towards Udinese's half with the ball.

Because Jiang Xiaolin's interception was too close to his own penalty area, Udinese had quite a few defenders near the midfield.

In addition, they played a defensive counterattack and attached great importance to defense. They did not press forward and kept the defensive formation relatively intact.

When Jiang Xiaolin intercepted the ball and passed Gaetano in an instant, there were five Udinese players returning to defend in all directions.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin was in front, there were three defenders who could stop him.

But Jiang Xiaolin had no choice but to dribble the ball himself. Because the game was not critical, other teammates returned to their own penalty areas to help defend, and there were no teammates in front of Jiang Xiaolin and on the parallel line to respond.

In order to ensure the speed and suddenness of the counterattack, Jiang Xiaolin simply did not stop to wait for his teammates to respond, and he dribble the ball and forcefully broke through.

After passing Gaetano, Jiang Xiaolin dribble the ball for more than ten meters and then approached the center line.At this time, Udinese midfielder Obodo, who was closest to him, slowed down his pace to defend and tried to stop Jiang Xiaolin.

But Jiang Xiaolin did not slow down, and directly passed the ball to the side, and then accelerated past Obodo.

Jiang Xiaolin used his speed to step over Obodo.

Obodo's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to make a tactical foul, and directly pulled Jiang Xiaolin down, but Jiang Xiaolin broke free by force.

Jiang Xiaolin's strong physique and perfect balance allowed him to break through Obodo with speed, and Obodo's tactical foul did not work.

Jiang Xiaolin dribbled the ball through the center line, and Obodo could only chase behind, but he could not get close.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin ran with the ball and Obodo ran without the ball, they could not close the distance between the two.

Jiang Xiaolin had broken through Gaetano and Obodo, and there were only two central defenders left to block him in front.

Although there was a full-back on the left who was quickly returning to defense, he could not run over to assist because he had to defend against the support of another forward, Ali. Therefore, the obstacle on Jiang Xiaolin's way forward was the two central defenders.

The two of them were very close to each other, like a moving human wall formed by two people, and they retreated sideways while observing Jiang Xiaolin's running position, trying to block Jiang Xiaolin with two people to avoid being broken by Jiang Xiaolin one by one.

Because the two of them were sideways while returning to defense and blocking, their speed was slower than Jiang Xiaolin who was moving at full speed with the ball.

Jiang Xiaolin used his full-value dribbling skills to control the ball under his feet. When he was about ten meters away from the penalty area, he caught up with the two central defenders, and the distance between the two sides was about three or four meters.

Both central defenders became nervous.

Because at this time Jiang Xiaolin had to make a breakthrough, otherwise if he slowed down, he might be caught up by Obodo who was desperately chasing back behind him, forming a three-person double-team situation, and Jiang Xiaolin might lose the ball.

Jiang Xiaolin naturally knew this. If he didn't break through the two central defenders in front of him quickly, he would be caught up by Obodo behind him once he slowed down.

In the case of three people double-teaming, Jiang Xiaolin would lose the ball with a high probability even if he had good skills.

Therefore, in the process of approaching the two central defenders, Jiang Xiaolin used his full dribbling skills to constantly sway left and right and change direction.

Although he didn't make a bicycle kick, the left and right swaying of his body was still somewhat confusing, forcing the two central defenders to move their positions frequently in order to block the direction of Jiang Xiaolin's breakthrough.

Therefore, in this process, it is inevitable that there will be a gap between the two people occasionally enough for the ball to pass.

When people, people will definitely not be able to pass through, and the purpose of the two people is to prevent Jiang Xiaolin from breaking through.

Jiang Xiaolin naturally didn't want to break through with the ball, his goal was to separate the person and the ball.

In the process of dribbling and moving forward, when Jiang Xiaolin found that the distance between the two was a little larger again, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly kicked the ball accurately between the two people.

Then Jiang Xiaolin went around from the side, and he made a man-ball separation.

The two central defenders were naturally prepared for this.

The two quickly separated, and the one closer to the center immediately chased the ball that Jiang Xiaolin had poked out at full speed. The one closer to the side immediately reached out to pull and block Jiang Xiaolin, trying to slow down Jiang Xiaolin's sprint speed and destroy his intention to pass the ball.

But just like Obodo just now, Jiang Xiaolin played the man-ball separation too well this time.

Moreover, the circle he made was a little too big.

Although the central defender on the side reached out and touched Jiang Xiaolin, he was unable to hold on, allowing Jiang Xiaolin to pass by him at a faster speed.

When Jiang Xiaolin exerted his speed to the extreme, no one in the football world could compete with him in speed, even professional sprinters could not catch up.

Therefore, even though the ball and the player had to take a detour, Jiang Xiaolin still successfully bypassed the central defender on the side and caught up with the ball he had just passed at full speed. He controlled the ball under his feet before the central defender on the inside and rushed into the penalty area.
