God of Green

After heading the ball into the opponent's goal, Wang Yongbai excitedly turned and rushed to Sun Jihai to thank him for his assist.

Most of the credit for this goal goes to Sun Jihai.

It was his precise steal, breakthrough, and cross that allowed Wang Yongbai to easily head the ball into the Japanese team's goal.

The names of Wang Yongbai and Sun Jihai were also heard in the stands, and the fans shouted their names and applauded and cheered for them.

Jiang Xiaolin and other teammates also went up and surrounded the two people, hugged and high-fived excitedly, and everyone was very happy.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, scoring a goal and leading by two goals basically locked the victory.

Although it is not 100%, the probability of winning this game is already quite high.

In addition to the victory in score, this goal also opened another door for the Chinese team's offense: that is, Jiang Xiaolin distracted most of the opponent's defensive attention in the counterattack, and other Chinese team players passed and cut to score the ball.

This goal was because Jiang Xiaolin distracted the opponent's attention too much, which allowed Wang Yongbai to easily head the ball into the goal after receiving Sun Jihai's cross.

This set can still be copied in future counterattacks.

As long as the opponent focuses on Jiang Xiaolin, the two wingers, full-backs, front midfielders, etc. can all play this kind of cooperation.

If the opponent is distracted to defend the wingers, then Jiang Xiaolin's defensive pressure will definitely be much less.

If there are only one or two people defending him, with Jiang Xiaolin's skills, he can try to complete the final shot.

Whether he dribbles the ball and shoots, or his teammates pass the ball to him in the air and he competes for the header, the chance of scoring is not small.

Of course, in contrast, the Japanese team, as the opponent of the Chinese team, feels very uncomfortable.

It was difficult enough to defend Jiang Xiaolin alone, but now there are other people in the Chinese team who participate in the counterattack, which makes it even more difficult for the Japanese to defend.

You said to pay attention to defending the Chinese team's side breakthroughs and attacks, which will inevitably reduce the defense against Jiang Xiaolin. Who knows when Jiang Xiaolin will dribble and shoot? Or receive a pass from his teammates to score a goal?

If you keep a close eye on Jiang Xiaolin and don't strengthen the side defense, maybe the Chinese team will take advantage of the loopholes on the side to attack, just like this goal.

If you increase the number of defensive players and defend the center and side, the number of attackers will be greatly reduced.

You know, it is Japan that is lagging behind now, and they still need to attack and score goals!

In the next game, even if they know that the Chinese team's counterattack has another way and routine, the Japanese team can't take care of it.

Because they are more important to score goals.

After all, except Jiang Xiaolin, the shooting skills of the other players on the Chinese team are not very good. Even if they attack to the front court, there is still a problem with the probability of scoring!

They are not necessarily lost.

But if they don't attack, don't score, and keep the score of 3-1 until the end, then the Japanese team will definitely lose.

Therefore, they can only concentrate on attacking, leaving some people to guard against Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack, and temporarily can't take care of the two wingers of the Chinese team.

The Japanese team's offensive ability is still good. In the 79th minute, they really created a good opportunity through a series of passes and cuts.

Unfortunately, after the ball was passed into the penalty area, Okubo Yoshito, who shot the goal, failed to hit the ball well and slightly missed the post.

On the Chinese side, after the successful experience of Sun Jihai assisting Wang Yongbai last time, they also consciously added more routines of wing forwards to insert and break through to assist when counterattacking.

Unfortunately, as the Japanese thought, the shooting skills of the Chinese team except Jiang Xiaolin are really hard to compliment.

In the 82nd minute, Du Zhenyu made a cross from the bottom, and Jiang Xiaolin also attracted most of the defense's attention in the middle. Hao Junmin followed up and volleyed the ball at the back point, but the ball was not pressed and flew high over the crossbar.

This made the Japanese team relax their defense on the two sides and only focus on defending Jiang Xiaolin in the middle.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin is guarded and not allowed to get a chance to shoot, the other players of the Chinese team may not be able to score even if they are given a chance to shoot.

It's not that the Japanese don't take the other players of the Chinese team seriously, but they have no choice in the current situation. They can only put more people into the offense. There are not so many defenders and they can't take care of the defense in the middle and sides.

However, the players of the Chinese team except Jiang Xiaolin are not good at shooting, and the Japanese team is the same. They are all Asian teams, and the difference in level is limited.

Even the world's top strikers can't reach the shooting skills of Jiang Xiaolin, let alone the strikers of the Japanese team.

Therefore, in the last few minutes, the Japanese team did have opportunities to shoot, but they were unable to convert.The ball went into the Chinese team's goal.

On the contrary, it was the Chinese team that made another successful wing counterattack in the 88th minute.

This time, Jiang Xiaolin was unable to break through after getting the ball in the middle. In order not to delay the counterattack speed, he passed the ball to the wing. Hao Junmin, who came from the wing, counterattacked with the ball. Jiang Xiaolin followed in the middle, and Wang Yongbai followed behind Jiang Xiaolin.

Perhaps the last failed counterattack made the Japanese team careless, or perhaps they were really more afraid of Jiang Xiaolin. The only two defenders in the Japanese team's back line were staring at Jiang Xiaolin and ignored Wang Yongbai.

As a result, Hao Junmin's pass was the same as the one when Sun Jihai assisted Wang Yongbai. It was a little bigger, passing over the heads of Jiang Xiaolin and the two central defenders of the Japanese team and falling to the back point.

Wang Yongbai rushed into the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal without interference. Fortunately, Wang Yongbai's header hit the goal frame.

Of course, his header skills cannot be compared with Jiang Xiaolin, and he cannot head the ball into the goal frame and at a tricky angle at the same time.

However, it is good enough that he can head the ball into the goal frame and pose a threat without flying.

However, this time, goalkeeper Kawaguchi Norihiro was mentally prepared. The defenders did not care much about Wang Yongbo, but Kawaguchi Norihiro could not ignore him.

After all, it was Wang Yongbo who scored the goal last time with the assist of Sun Jihai!

Therefore, when he saw the ball pass over the heads of Jiang Xiaolin and others, fall to the back point, and Wang Yongbo rushed into the penalty area to head the ball, Kawaguchi Norihiro began to move back and did not let Wang Yongbo attack the goal easily.

Sure enough, Kawaguchi Norihiro saved the ball in time this time and saved Wang Yongbo's header.

The powerful ball was saved by Kawaguchi Norihiro with one hand, and then it changed its direction and hit the goal post and bounced back into the penalty area.

Just as Kawaguchi Norihiro, who had already fallen to the ground, was about to pounce again to press the ball under him, a figure wearing the Chinese team jersey appeared at the point where the ball landed.

This figure was Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin's full ability to grab points and run without the ball, as well as his own speed, allowed him to react first and rush to the point of landing at the fastest speed. Then he volleyed the ball over the goalkeeper's body and into the goal, knocking the top of the net high.

In the 88th minute of the game, Jiang Xiaolin scored another goal for the Chinese team through a supplementary shot, completing a hat trick, and the Chinese team led 4-1, completely locking in the victory.

When Wang Yongbai's header was saved by Kawaguchi Norihiro, the Chinese team fans in the stands who were ready to celebrate immediately sighed in unison, thinking that the ball was gone.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Jiang Xiaolin appeared in front of the ball in time and volleyed the ball into the goal.

Suddenly, the entire Tianhe Sports Center exploded, and tens of thousands of fans in the stands burst into huge applause and cheers.

The Chinese commentator in the commentary booth also shouted excitedly with all his strength:

"The ball is in! The ball is in... "

"Jiang Xiaolin completed a hat trick, and the Chinese team is leading the Japanese team 4-1!"

"Jiang Xiaolin has secured the victory for the Chinese team!"

"Although the game is not over yet, we can already declare it over!"

"With a three-goal lead, the Chinese team will definitely win."

Yes, the fact that the team is leading 4-1, anyone who believes it, the Chinese team will definitely win.

Jiang Xiaolin ran wildly on the court, and his teammates chased him, and the Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV were plunged into a sea of ​​carnival.

The Japanese players on the court, as well as the Japanese fans at the scene and in front of the TV, all fell into silence.

It was already the 88th minute of the game. With three goals behind, no one had the confidence to equalize the score, not even a little bit of luck.

The defeat in this top ten game was already a foregone conclusion.

However, after the Chinese team celebrated for half a minute and the game resumed, the Japanese team did not completely give up and continued to attack.

Because, although they could not win the game, they could still continue to attack and score goals. What if they needed to fight for a goal difference when they finally qualified or got a place in the play-offs?

Therefore, although the game was lost, the offense was still necessary.

However, the Chinese team would not give them too many opportunities.

With a three-goal lead, Wang Yongbai, Hao Junmin, Du Zhenyu and other midfield players all returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense. Even Jiang Xiaolin retreated outside the penalty area and used his full position attribute to help defend and interfere with the Japanese team's passing and cutting.

Moreover, after entering the stoppage time, the Chinese team began to make substitutions one after another to delay time, and used up all three substitutions.

As the Chinese team kept changing players to delay the game, the Japanese team's offensive rhythm was constantly interrupted.Without even a single shot, the time was up.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. With Jiang Xiaolin's hat trick and Wang Yongbai's header, the Chinese team beat Japan 4-1 at home and won the fourth round of the top ten.

After the referee blew the final whistle, Jiang Xiaolin also received the system experience reward for this game.

Although this was the top ten of the World Cup qualifiers, it was still the same as the top 20, with a standard of 10,000 experience points for scoring goals.

Therefore, in terms of basic experience, Jiang Xiaolin received 3 goals of 30,000 + 20,000 wins = 50,000 basic experience points.

In terms of on-the-spot performance, Jiang Xiaolin received an "excellent" system rating with a rating coefficient of 3 for his hat trick performance.

Therefore, the final experience Jiang Xiaolin received was 50,000*3=150,000. With the previous training experience, Jiang Xiaolin's level experience rose to level 21, 1.4892 million/2 million.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin and other Chinese players interacted with the fans in the stands and celebrated the big win together.

In the past ten years, the Chinese team has hardly achieved any decent victory against Japan, and the Chinese national football team has not won a single victory in ten years.

Today's 4-1 victory is enough to make all Chinese fans excited and happy.

The match between the Chinese team and Japan is the second match of this round. The first match between Bahrain and Australia at home has ended early. Bahrain lost to Australia, the No. 1 team in Asia, as expected.

However, Australia only won 1-0, which made everyone feel that the win was a bit small.

After the fourth round, Australia won three games, scored 6 goals, conceded 0 goals, and scored 9 points, ranking first in the group, living up to the reputation of being the first in the Asian division.

The Chinese team ranked second in the group with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in four games, with 7 points. Japan ranked third in the group with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss in three games, with 4 points. Bahrain and Uzbekistan both tied for the bottom of the group with 1 point in three games, with 1 draw and 2 losses.

The next fifth round of the top ten matches will be held in February next year.

Moreover, the Chinese team will have a bye in the fifth round, and the other four teams will fight against each other, Uzbekistan will play against Bahrain at home, and Japan will play against Australia at home.

The match between Uzbekistan and Bahrain will not have much impact on the Chinese team. We just hope that Japan will not beat Australia at home, so that the Chinese team can keep the second place in the group.

In the case that each group in the top ten matches has only two direct qualifying places, the Chinese team naturally hopes to get the top two places directly to qualify.

If it falls to the third place, it will first have to play the Asian internal play-offs, and then even if it wins, it will have to play the play-offs with the American teams to determine the qualifying places, which will be very troublesome and there will be a lot of variables.

Of course, there are still four games in the second half of the top ten matches. As long as Jiang Xiaolin is no longer injured and rested, everyone believes that the Chinese team will eventually stay in the top two of the group and qualify directly and enter the South Africa World Cup. There will be no problem.

Now, everyone just needs to celebrate the victory in the fourth round and defeat Japan to rise to the second place in the group.

That night and the next day, Chinese media reported the good news that the Chinese national football team beat Japan 4-1, won the second victory in the top ten games, and rose to the second place in the group.

Fans across the country were as excited as if it was the New Year.

In addition to the Chinese media, many European media also reported on this game.

Of course, the main report was on Jiang Xiaolin, because Jiang Xiaolin, who was on the list of candidates for the European Golden Boy Award and had a high probability of winning the award, is now a well-known star in Europe.

Moreover, a hat trick in such a crucial game as the World Cup qualifiers is indeed worth reporting.

However, Jiang Xiaolin did not have so much time to stay in China.

After the game, he rested for a night and boarded the plane back to the Netherlands early the next morning.

On November 23, Alkmaar will usher in a crucial league: home against the Netherlands' top giants-Ajax.
