God of Green

Chapter 97

The fourth official has played the electronic card for substitutions, No. 29 Jiang Xiaolin comes on, No. 16 Weinblum comes off, and the referee has seen it.

But the substitutions have to wait for the dead ball time.

Jiang Xiaolin took this time to add points to his skills that were not yet full, increasing the ball stop from 17 to 18, the dribbling from 15 to 16, the short pass from 16 to 17, and the fried meatball from 8 to 9.

After spending 4 attribute points, there are still 37 points left.

16 points of dribbling is considered above average among professional players.

And 17 points of short pass is also enough to meet the needs of passing in most cases.

As for the ball stop at 18 points, it is already very outstanding and very powerful on the court, and only a few people can achieve it.

After Jiang Xiaolin completed the point addition operation here, the football on the field also went out of bounds. The referee suspended the game and let Alkmaar complete the substitution.

Wienblum walked off the field, clapped his hands with Jiang Xiaolin expressionlessly, then walked to the bench and sat down, his unhappy face completely on his face.

But Jiang Xiaolin didn't care so much, and ran into the field quickly after completing the substitution with Wien.

Although it was raining and there was a cold wind, Jiang Xiaolin's heart was warm.

This time there were more than 10 minutes, unlike the last game, which only had 2 minutes. After the penalty kick, he was forced to return to his own half to participate in the defense.

"I must perform well and strive to start in the next game." Jiang Xiaolin said to himself, and then he was full of energy.

Jiang Xiaolin was strong and physically fit, and he had just come on as a substitute and was in urgent need of showing himself, so he naturally became the most active person in the field.

After Jiang Xiaolin conveyed the coach's instructions to "hit the ball in the air" to his teammates, the whole team immediately changed their tactics and began to play more crosses from the wing.

This is not common in Dutch football.

Therefore, Twente has not changed and is still sticking to their all-out attack and defense ground technique.

But Van Gaal is not an ordinary person. He did not rest on his laurels. Seeing that the ground attack could not open up the situation, he sent Jiang Xiaolin to play the tactics of side cross and aerial bombing.

Although the players were not quite used to such tactics, Jiang Xiaolin was very comfortable with it.

The full value of running without the ball made it easy for him to run out of the gap.

His strong body made him fearless of any collision in the penalty area.

The full value of bounce allowed him to jump the highest.

A few minutes after he came on the court, in the 79th minute, Jiang Xiaolin grabbed a header in the penalty area and headed for the goal.

If it had not been for the interference of Twente's No. 4 defender, which was slightly straight, and was directly confiscated by goalkeeper Baosuka, Jiang Xiaolin might have scored.

Even if the ball did not go in, Jiang Xiaolin's header had already made his teammates shine, and the fans cheered loudly in the stands.

The players of Alkmaar seemed to have found their direction at once, and began to pass the ball from the side and the bottom. Even the two full-backs began to assist in turn.

In the 81st minute, No. 7 Moussa Dembele made a diagonal pass to the penalty area from the side. Jiang Xiaolin's clothes were pulled by the opponent, causing him to jump insufficiently and fail to head the ball.

In the 84th minute, Hamdaoyi cut inside and made a triangle pass. Jiang Xiaolin rushed to shoot in the penalty area, but unfortunately the opponent's defender fell to the ground and blocked the gun hole.

Just 2 minutes later, full-back Pocognoli broke through with the ball and made a cross from the side. Unfortunately, the pass was a little high. Jiang Xiaolin jumped at full speed on the small penalty area line and only touched a little skin. The ball was headed out of the bottom line.

In the 89th minute, No. 8 winger Schals made a cross from the bottom, but unfortunately it was too close to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper rushed to punch Jiang Xiaolin's head, otherwise Jiang Xiaolin might have headed it again, forming an attack.

Although there was no goal, the change in the offensive and defensive situation of both sides after Jiang Xiaolin came on the court was visible to everyone.

Jiang Xiaolin almost led Alkmaar to press Twente.

This was completely different from the previous situation where the two sides were evenly matched and strangled near the midfield.

Twente's defenders and midfielders were all pressed into the penalty area by Jiang Xiaolin, but they still couldn't stop Jiang Xiaolin from rushing left and right and jumping to compete for the top in the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness, combined with his speed, running without the ball, and jumping ability, is simply too threatening in terms of aerial bombing.

Previously, the coaching staff was limited by the thinking of the technical style of Dutch football, and was still considering whether Jiang Xiaolin's skills such as stopping the ball, passing, and dribbling could adapt to the Eredivisie.

As a result, today's game in the drizzle gave Jiang Xiaolin an unexpected opportunity to show his superior ability.

He is not only an excellent shooter, but also has a full value of 20 headers!

Soon, the regular game time ended and the game was added for 3 minutes.Although Jiang Xiaolin had not scored until the game entered the extra time, he had created several threatening attacks in the 15 minutes he was on the field, more threats than Hamdaoui and Wijnblom had created in the previous dozens of minutes combined.

The passion of the home fans in the stands was getting higher and higher, and they did not calm down at all because the game was about to end. Everyone shouted slogans over and over again, cheering for Alkmaar and Jiang Xiaolin.

Chinese and overseas Chinese students such as Song Zhicheng were almost hoarse.

Jiang Xiaolin was naturally unwilling to accept this.

Even in the extra time, he was still rushing around in and out of Twente's penalty area, looking for opportunities to compete for the header.

The players of Alkmaar were also unwilling to accept this.

You know, since the second half of the season, they have never enjoyed a game where they pressed their opponents in the half!

The unreliability of goalkeeper Didulica made the players in the midfield and backcourt dare not press forward easily. The teammates in the frontcourt could not get support and lacked confidence. They often faced the situation of being pressed by the opponent.

Now the goal is stably guarded by Romero, and the opponent's penalty area also has Jiang Xiaolin as an aerial beacon. All players have found their goal: just pass the ball into the penalty area.

Everyone has played with momentum and confidence. In the case of a difficult win in the second half of the season, everyone naturally hopes to win this game in one go, take advantage of the current advantage to score a goal, win this game, and change the team's predicament.

Therefore, after entering the stoppage time, Alkmaar's offensive not only did not relax, but became more fierce.

The two full-backs no longer took turns to join the attack, but joined together to participate in the attack, leaving only two central defenders in the backcourt.

Twente replaced a forward with a defender, retreated all the way, and shrank within 30 meters of the goal, vowing to keep this away draw.

For them, they would be satisfied as long as they could maintain a draw in the away game.

Seeing that the game was about to end, they naturally retreated more and more, hoping to arrange the defense as tightly as possible, hoping to hold on until the end of the game.
