God of Green

The game continued.

Feyenoord, who was two goals behind, played anxiously. When they could not enter the penalty area, Feyenoord strengthened the long-range shots outside the penalty area.

However, without the shooting skills and strength of Jiang Xiaolin, the goal rate of long-range shots was too low.

In the 65th minute, Feyenoord midfielder Bernard completed another long-range shot outside the penalty area, and the power was not small.

Unfortunately, although this long-range shot hit the goal frame, the angle was not tricky, and it was saved by goalkeeper Romero, rolled into the penalty area, and then was cleared in time by defender Yarriens.

On the Alkmaar side, because of the advantage of two goals, everyone played more cautiously.

Although it was not a deadly defense, the overall formation tended to be defensive and counterattack. After all, they had a two-goal lead and could slowly waste time with Feyenoord.

This is also the reason why Feyenoord found it difficult to get the ball into Alkmaar's penalty area, because Alkmaar's defense line remained relatively intact, not too much pressure on the front court, and did not give the opponent too many gaps.

Even if there are occasional gaps, Feyenoord does not have a player like Jiang Xiaolin who can really seize these fleeting gaps.

On the other hand, although Alkmaar's counterattack shots are slightly less than Feyenoord, every counterattack and attack can bring huge threats.

Especially when the ball falls to Jiang Xiaolin's feet, it is even more threatening.

In the 72nd minute, Feyenoord midfielder Marcus was dribbling the ball and trying to break through David Mendes, but Mendes made a precise tackle and shoveled the ball away.

After shoveling the ball down, Mendes immediately got up and kicked the ball to Stein Schars on the wing.

After Schars got the ball, he first dribbled past the Feyenoord player who was trying to steal it, and then dribbled the ball from the wing to the bottom line.

In the middle, Jiang Xiaolin and Hamdaoyi also started to move forward, and Feyenoord's back line collectively retreated to defend.

But this time Feyenoord was counterattacked by a ball interception during the attack, and there were not many people left in the backcourt.

Therefore, Alkmaar's Schals, Jiang Xiaolin, and Hamdaoyi formed a three-on-four situation.

In the rapid attack and defense transition, Feyenoord's full-backs could only retreat and defend, and did not dare to rush up, for fear that Schals would break through if they were not careful.

However, although he was very careful, he was still passed by Hamdaoyi and Schals who ran to the right wing with a wall-to-wall combination.

Schals passed the ball to Hamdaoyi, then surpassed the Feyenoord full-back from the outside, and received the ball passed back by Hamdaoyi behind him, rushed to the bottom line, and had a tendency to cut in.

The Feyenoord players in the middle had no choice but to send one out to block Schals to prevent him from cutting in and shooting.

In this way, there was only one central defender and one defensive midfielder left to defend Jiang Xiaolin and Hamdaoyi in the middle.

Three against three in the frontcourt.

In the case of running without the ball, Jiang Xiaolin rushed very fast and rushed into the penalty area in advance.

However, he was also in an offside position.

But because Jiang Xiaolin ran too fast, Hamdaoyi did not keep up. In order to mark Jiang Xiaolin, the two defenders of the opponent ran a little too deep, causing Hamdaoyi outside the penalty area to be in the gap.

So, Schars did not go down to the bottom line to cross the ball, nor did he pass it to Jiang Xiaolin, but passed a ground ball to Hamdaoyi outside the penalty area.

The ball was not passed well, the speed was a little slow, and the defensive midfielder Louis who returned to the penalty area saw it and immediately stopped retreating and wanted to steal the ball to clear the siege.

But Hamdaoyi started to run towards the ball when Schars passed the ball, instead of continuing to wait for the ball in the middle.

So, Hamdaoyi, who started early, got the ball first on the right side of the top of the penalty area, then took a step towards the corner of the penalty area, jumped up to avoid Louis's outstretched foot, caught up with the ball in two steps, and rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

At this time, the central defender who had just moved to the wing to intercept Schals had returned and was about to rush to Hamdaoyi to block his shooting direction.

However, before he blocked the ball, Hamdaoyi decisively shot just after entering the corner of the penalty area.

Before he shot, Jiang Xiaolin had already retreated a step to avoid offside.

It was Jiang Xiaolin's active retreat that gave him the opportunity to make up the next shot.

Otherwise, even if he scored a goal, it would be offside.

Hamdaoyi's shooting angle was very straight and it was not difficult to save, but the key was that the power was too great.

At the moment when Hamdaoyi shot, midfielder Luis was left behind by him, and the central defender who rushed over to the side had not yet arrived, resulting in his shot being a shot without interference, thus giving full play to his strength..

Hamdaoyi's low shot was so powerful that goalkeeper Dali didn't dare to hold the ball and could only save it sideways.

Originally, he intended to save the ball out of the penalty area, but Hamdaoyi's shot was too powerful. He only blocked the ball but failed to save it out of the left penalty area.

The ball hit his palm and changed direction slightly, but fell back into the small penalty area and was not saved far by him.

Then, Feyenoord's players and fans were horrified to see that Jiang Xiaolin, who was in the penalty area just now, appeared in the small penalty area like a ghost, appeared in front of the ball, and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal before the central defender who was marking him.

Jiang Xiaolin used his full value of grabbing points and running without the ball to seize the opportunity of this supplementary shot, completing a hat trick and helping Alkmaar take a 4-1 lead.

When Jiang Xiaolin made a rebound shot into the goal after Hamdaoui's shot was saved, Jones, the commentator of the Dutch TV station, could not hold back and shouted excitedly:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball is in!"

"Oh my god, Jiang Xiaolin has completed another hat trick!"

"Including this game, Jiang Xiaolin has only played 29 professional games in total, but has completed 11 hat tricks, plus a big four and a single game five goals."

"That is to say, in the 29 official games of Jiang Xiaolin's career so far, he has scored more than 3 goals in 13 games."

" It's shocking!"

"As fans of Jiang Xiaolin's club, Alkmaar fans are so happy! As fans of Jiang Xiaolin's opponents, they are obviously very depressed."

"If this trend continues, I think Jiang Xiaolin may break the Eredivisie single-season goal record of 43 goals and win this season's European Golden Boot."

The commentator nodded and said, "Yes! As long as Jiang Xiaolin is not injured, I think he will have no problem breaking the Eredivisie single-season goal record of 43 goals and winning the European Golden Boot."

Everyone is no longer discussing whether Jiang Xiaolin can win the Eredivisie Golden Boot. They have begun to discuss whether Jiang Xiaolin will break the Eredivisie goal record and win the European Golden Boot.

Obviously, the Eredivisie Golden Boot has lost suspense in everyone's mind.

The result of this game has also lost suspense.

When Jiang Xiaolin scored, it was already the 72nd minute of the second half.

After he and his teammates celebrated for about 20 seconds, returned to their own half, and waited for Feyenoord to kick off again, the time had come to the 73rd minute.

Even with the extra time, Feyenoord only had about 20 minutes, and the probability of equalizing the three-goal gap was really very small.

Moreover, their top scorer Roy Makaay did not have the same goal efficiency as Jiang Xiaolin.

If Jiang Xiaolin was there, there would be a little hope. But without Jiang Xiaolin, any team facing a situation of falling behind by three goals in the second half and only 20 minutes left in the game would be desperate.

Van Gaal began to make substitutions one after another.

Fighting on three fronts this season, the team must be considered as a whole at all times. With a three-goal lead with 20 minutes left in the second half, Van Gaal was indeed qualified to replace the substitutes and let the main players rest.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin still stayed on the field as a deterrent to Feyenoord, so that the opponent did not dare to press too hard to counterattack.

As long as they dared to press hard, Jiang Xiaolin might get a chance to score a goal in the counterattack.

This really made Feyenoord's attack a little restrained, and they dared not go all out. Two or three people had to stay in the backcourt to prevent Jiang Xiaolin's quick counterattack.

In addition to falling behind by three goals, Feyenoord's players themselves did not believe that they could equalize the score.

Insufficient information and insufficient offensive power, the quality of the attack can be imagined.

By the 80th minute, Feyenoord had not scored even one more goal.

So, Van Gaal even replaced Jiang Xiaolin.

At this time, Feyenoord could finally attack boldly.

However, what was unexpected was that although Jiang Xiaolin was gone, Ali, who came on as a substitute, suddenly broke out.

In the 85th minute, Feyenoord's frontcourt attack made a mistake, and Alkmaar intercepted the ball and counterattacked again. Ali successfully countered offside, received a long pass from Maarten Martens to form a single knife, and shot successfully on the penalty area line.

Alkmaar took a 5-1 lead away from home.

Ali's goal completely killed the game.

Later, Feyenoord scored a header from a corner kick in the 91st minute of stoppage time to tie the score.2-5, but it didn't help at all.

They still lost to Alkmaar with a big score of 2-5.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Alkmaar defeated Feyenoord 5-2 away in the 15th round of the Eredivisie. While achieving 13 consecutive wins in the Eredivisie, it continued to lead the Eredivisie standings.

After the game, Jiang Xiaolin also received the reward for this game.

The basic experience reward he received in this game was 3 goals 6000 + win 4000 = 10,000, and he received an excellent rating for his performance in the game, with a rating coefficient of 3, so Jiang Xiaolin finally received a total experience of 30,000.

Combined with the daily training experience of the previous few days, Jiang Xiaolin's level experience rose to level 22 26.02/3 million.

The next day, media from various countries reported a lot on Jiang Xiaolin's hat trick.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin has won the European Golden Boy Award and is considered a candidate for the European Golden Ball Award. His popularity and fame are no longer the same as before, and he has gained a lot of recognition in Europe.

However, due to the overall popularity of the Eredivisie, Jiang Xiaolin still has a long way to go to become a world-renowned star.

For example, China's weekly "World Football" column generally reviews the exciting matches of the five major leagues in the past week, and does not take into account the Eredivisie matches.

Although because Jiang Xiaolin is a Chinese, "World Football" will naturally not miss him, and all of them are large-scale reports.

But other countries will not be like this.

In their similar weekly football reviews, they rarely pay attention to the Eredivisie matches. Even if Jiang Xiaolin performs well in the Eredivisie, the media coverage is limited.

If Jiang Xiaolin wants to gain higher fame and popularity, he still has to move towards the five major leagues in the future.

However, Jiang Xiaolin is only 17 years old and has a long future ahead.

Most people believe that as long as Jiang Xiaolin does not suffer a serious injury that interrupts his career, he will definitely be able to step onto the stage of the top giants in the five major leagues and become a top superstar in the world football.

After playing this league match with Feyenoord, Alkmaar will soon face the last round of the UEFA Cup group stage against Udinese of Serie A.

With both teams already qualified in advance, the last group match is actually meaningless.

For both Alkmaar and Udinese, everyone will definitely rotate and save their energy for the league and the subsequent knockout matches, rather than fighting to the death in this insignificant group match.

The only attraction for Alkmaar and Chinese fans is Jiang Xiaolin's European Golden Boy Award ceremony.

On December 14, Jiang Xiaolin's domestic agent Fan Hongyu flew to the Netherlands with Jiang Xiaolin's mother Jiang Liantao and cousin Jiang Xueling.

As Jiang Xiaolin's closest relatives, the two of them will witness Jiang Xiaolin's European Golden Boy Award ceremony on the spot.

Along with Jiang Liantao and others, there was also a team of reporters from the sports channel of China National Television.

They also had to record the pre-interview content, and then make it into a program together with Jiang Xiaolin's award ceremony to be broadcast to the Chinese fans.

On the evening of December 16, 2008, under the illumination of the stadium lights, the AFAS stadium was completely full.

Although the game was insignificant, Jiang Xiaolin's Golden Boy Award ceremony still attracted fans to fill the entire stadium, leaving no seats empty.

Countless fans held slogans or portraits, banners, and photo screens in support of Jiang Xiaolin, and sang praises for Jiang Xiaolin.

This was also the first time that Jiang Liantao visited the AFAS stadium in person.

When Jiang Xiaolin appeared and attracted so many fans' enthusiastic cheers, Jiang Liantao also felt tears welling up in his eyes.

In the European football world dominated by white people, he was able to achieve such great success and gain such enthusiastic support and love from local fans. His son has indeed made a difference and achieved real success in football.
