God of Green

In the second half, Utrecht finally scored the second goal in the 78th minute after taking advantage of the advantage of having one more player.

The goal was scored by striker Udalu, who received a wonderful pass from midfielder Kairovi in ​​the penalty area and shot the ball into the near corner with a small angle.

Although Romero made a save, he failed to stop the goal.

Utrecht finally took advantage of the advantage of having one more player and tied the score to 2-2.

The small number of Utrecht fans in the stands and the players on the field were ecstatic and celebrated wildly.

After the game resumed, Alkmaar, unwilling to be tied, made a desperate move and pressed forward to launch a crazy attack.

But it seems that luck is not on Alkmaar's side today.

In addition to Moreno being sent off with a red card, in the 85th minute, midfielder Maarten Martens was injured in a fight with Utrecht players in the frontcourt. He didn't get up for a long time and was finally helped off the field by the team doctor.

Without the cooperation of Martens, the core of the organization, and his partner Hamdaoyi, Jiang Xiaolin was even more isolated and helpless.

In the 89th minute, Jiang Xiaolin completed the last shot in the goal frame of the game.

However, this was a long shot outside the penalty area, and under the interference of the opponent's players, the angle was not tricky, and it was easily caught by goalkeeper Misidni, leaving no chance for Alkmaar's players to make up the shot.

Afterwards, neither side was able to score a goal or make another threatening shot.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Utrecht took advantage of the opportunity of Alkmaar being sent off with a red card and scored two goals in a row to tie the score to 2-2.

Alkmaar's league winning streak was finally forced to stop, staying at the record of 13 consecutive wins.

After the referee blew the final whistle, because he did not win the game, Jiang Xiaolin only received a basic reward of 2,000 for one goal.

In terms of performance, Jiang Xiaolin's performance was not recognized by the system, and he only received a qualified evaluation with a rating coefficient of 1.

In the end, Jiang Xiaolin only gained 2,000 experience points. With the previous training experience, Jiang Xiaolin's level experience rose to level 22 58.38/3 million.

After the league match with Utrecht, it was Christmas time, and everyone could finally have a good rest for a week. The next game will be on December 28, when Alkmaar will still be at home against Nijmegen, the opponent in the 17th round of the league.

After the game with Nijmegen, it will enter the winter break, and Jiang Xiaolin will return to China with his mother and cousin.

During the period from December 20th to 27th, due to Christmas, the team only conducted two days of daily training, and the rest of the time was a holiday.

Jiang Xiaolin used this time, accompanied by Baker, to shoot commercials or photo shoots for several big brands that signed endorsements, and attended several commercial promotional activities, earning a lot of endorsement fees.

On the evening of December 25, the Alkmaar Club held a Christmas dinner at the largest hotel in the city, and all the players who were still in the city attended with their families.

Jiang Xiaolin naturally also attended with his mother and cousin.

Although neither of them understood Dutch, because of Jiang Xiaolin, the club's boss, general manager and other senior executives, as well as coaches and teammates such as Van Gaal and Maarten Martens, all showed great respect for Jiang Liantao and Jiang Xueling. Many people came forward to greet them, which made Jiang Liantao and Jiang Xueling very happy, and proud of Jiang Xiaolin's achievements and status.

Time slowly came to December 28, when Alkmaar ushered in the last game of 2008, which was also the last game before the winter break of the 2008/2009 season.

The game time was 14:30 noon.

The weather was good. Although the temperature was minus 2 degrees Celsius, it did not rain or snow. Instead, the sun came out.

The warm winter sun made everyone in a good mood, and the AFAS Stadium was naturally full.

At 14:30 noon, with the referee's whistle, the 17th round of the 2008/2009 Eredivisie season Alkmaar's home game against Nijmegen officially started at the AFAS Stadium amid the cheers of the fans.

Alkmaar rotated several main players in this game.

Maarten Martens was injured in the last game and has not recovered yet, so Van der Velden was the substitute in the starting lineup.

Hector Moreno received a red card in the last game and was suspended for one game.

In addition, Pocognoli also felt a little tired, so he was suspended.Simon Poulsen, who can play as a left winger or left back, started as a substitute.

In this way, Alkmaar's strength seems to have declined compared to the previous game. The opponent Nijmegen is ranked higher than Utrecht in the standings, and seems to be stronger.

However, the opponent scored two goals in the last game and ended in a tie because one of Alkmaar's players was sent off with a red card, and they were one man short.

In this game, Alkmaar did not have one man short, so although Nijmegen ranked higher than Utrecht in the standings, it still couldn't withstand Alkmaar's attack.

Especially Jiang Xiaolin, who only scored one goal in the last game and ended in a tie, and finally only received a reward of 2,000 experience points, which made him feel very depressed and felt that he had lost a lot.

What's more, after this game, the team will have a holiday and enter the winter break.

Therefore, whether it is Jiang Xiaolin or other players, they will fight hard.

As a result, Nijmegen suffered.

Although they were prepared to lose away from home, they did not expect to lose so badly.

The game had just started for 3 minutes, and the away players of Nijmegen seemed to have not yet entered the state. Jiang Xiaolin suddenly kicked the ball from about 25 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area and made a long shot.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-value long shot and shooting skills, arc, and physique made his shot look like it was flying to the right, but in fact it turned and flew to the left halfway.

Goalkeeper Babos first reacted to the ball and thought that the ball was kicked to the right end of the goal, so he moved one step to the right and prepared to save it.

Unexpectedly, he just moved one step, and the ball turned an exaggerated arc in the air and flew to the left.

And the ball was very fast.

Babos had no time to react at all, and he stood there and watched the ball fly into the left goal.

In the 3rd minute, Jiang Xiaolin scored a very beautiful long shot, helping Alkmaar to take a 1-0 lead at home.

The fans in the stadium shouted Jiang Xiaolin's name under the guidance of the on-site commentator, and the shouts were deafening.

After Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates celebrated for more than 20 seconds, the game resumed.

Nijmegen was not inspired by Jiang Xiaolin's goal in the first 3 minutes, but was a little stunned, and made mistakes in the following games.

If Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates hadn't been a little unlucky, I'm afraid Nijmegen would have lost the ball again in just a few minutes.

However, even so, with the cheers of the fans in Alkmaar, Nijmegen's goal still couldn't hold for long.

Soon, in the 13th minute, Alkmaar scored again.

However, this time it was not Jiang Xiaolin's goal, nor his assist, but he also contributed to the goal.

Because of his running in the penalty area, he attracted the attention of too many defenders of Nijmegen, which created a gap on one side of the penalty area. Hamdaoyi ran into the gap and scored a goal after receiving a pass from Stein Schars.

Less than 15 minutes after the start, Alkmaar had already taken a 2-0 lead.

Seeing this, the head coach of Nijmegen was so angry that he jumped on the sidelines, but he could not change the fact that the team was behind in the score.

Moreover, it would be fine if they were only two goals behind, but if the game continued like this, wouldn't Nijmegen be slaughtered and nailed to the pillar of shame?

In theory, the team's starting lineup is the one that the head coach thinks is more suitable for this game, or the one that the coach trusts more. Generally, there will be no substitutions in the first half, at least they have to wait until the halftime break to make substitutions according to the situation on the field.

If you make substitutions in the first half without injury, it will undoubtedly subvert your own tactical arrangements and deployment, and it will be a slap in your own face.

But the head coach of Nijmegen has no choice.

After conceding two goals in the first 15 minutes, he was worried that his team would be slaughtered if they continued playing.

Especially in the last game before the winter break of 2009, it was not shameful to lose to the top team Alkmaar led by Jiang Xiaolin away from home, but if it turned into a score of 10-0 slaughter like Vitesse, this New Year would not be celebrated.

So, the head coach of Nijmegen slapped himself in the face. In the 18th minute of the game, he replaced a striker with a defensive midfielder to strengthen the number of defenders and ordered the whole team to retreat and defend.

Just 18 minutes into the game, he had already given up the game and was determined to defend to the end.

On the football field, the bus tactic is always the most troublesome and the most unsolvable.

Even with Jiang Xiaolin's skills, there are not many ways, he can only withdraw from the penalty area and increase long shots.

But the distanceWhen the goal is far away, on the one hand, there will be many opposing players blocking the ball, and on the other hand, it will increase the goalkeeper's reaction time.

Unless Jiang Xiaolin can make a powerful shot at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour, or use a curved ball to deceive the goalkeeper's eyes, it is easier to score.

Moreover, even with Jiang Xiaolin's full shooting skills, it is not necessarily possible to hit every ball within the goal frame.

Sometimes there is also the defense interference of the opposing players, which makes it easier to miss or fly.

In the 19th minute, Jiang Xiaolin had a threatening long shot, but unfortunately it was slightly off the post and slipped out of the door, which made the fans in the stands sigh.

Fortunately, although there was no goal, Alkmaar still had a huge advantage in the overall situation, and the fans did not worry about losing the ball.

Although Nijmegen sometimes grabbed the ball and kicked it forward, allowing their only striker Wimberkinen to try to counterattack, most of the time they could not pass through the midfield and the ball would be intercepted.

Or they kicked the ball to the front court and directly changed the ball to Alkmaar.

It was not until the 26th minute that Nijmegen completed the first shot.

However, this was a shot that Wimbekinen barely completed when he could not move forward or enter the penalty area after being double-teamed by two Alkmaar defenders.

In the end, although the ball hit the goal frame, it was weak and was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Romero.

This was probably the only counterattack and highlight of Nijmegen in the first half.

At other times, Nijmegen was basically defending and did not even shoot once.

Moreover, despite increasing the number of defenders and retreating to defend, Nijmegen still failed to hold on to the situation of being only two goals behind.

In the 37th minute, Moussa Dembele dribbled the ball from the wing and made a two-on-one match with Van der Velden, trying to break through Nijmegen's midfielder Pudusin in front of him and enter the penalty area to pose a threat.

Just when Dembele was about to enter the penalty area, Pudusin pulled Dembele from behind in a hurry, allowing Alkmaar to get a free kick in the frontcourt outside the left corner of the penalty area.

The ball was a little off the goal, but Jiang Xiaolin still chose to shoot directly.

After a long preparation, Jiang Xiaolin took a very large arc free kick, bypassing the wall and the goalkeeper Babos's ten fingers, and flew into the back of the goal along the post.

In the 37th minute, Jiang Xiaolin took advantage of the free kick opportunity to score twice, helping Alkmaar to take a 3-0 lead at home.

After Jiang Xiaolin scored, the remaining minutes of the first half were uneventful.

Although Alkmaar was still attacking, Nijmegen's bus defense with a large number of people still played a big role, and Alkmaar did not score any more goals.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 3-0, and Alkmaar led by three goals.

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

It seemed that Nijmegen had completely given up the game and was determined to defend to the end.

At the beginning of the second half, Alkmaar wanted to raid the opponent, but failed. Nijmegen quickly retracted the direction and resumed the intensive defense of the first half, which prevented Alkmaar's fast break from starting.

Afterwards, the game returned to the situation in the first half, with Alkmaar attacking and Nijmegen defending.

With a three-goal lead, Alkmaar's players were less committed to attacking in the second half.

It was not until the 62nd minute that Stein Schars's shot after cutting in from the wing resulted in a corner kick, and then Jiang Xiaolin played his physical fitness and comprehensive advantages in grabbing points, jumping, and heading in the corner kick. He grabbed the first point on the small penalty area line and headed the ball into Nijmegen's goal.

Jiang Xiaolin performed a hat trick and helped Alkmaar lead Nijmegen 4-0 at home.

The stands shouted "Jiang Xiaolin" again, and more than 10,000 fans bowed down to Jiang Xiaolin for performing a hat trick again.
