God of Green

Chapter 385

After the second half started, everyone found that Jiang Xiaolin rarely entered the penalty area, leaving it to Hamdaoyi or other frontcourt players.

Jiang Xiaolin himself retreated to the outside of the penalty area, about 25 meters to 35 meters away from the goal.

In this huge range, Heracles naturally could not use three or four people to surround him like in the penalty area, and there were not so many people.

Therefore, it was not really necessary to just focus on Jiang Xiaolin and ignore others, allowing other players of Alkmaar to attack and shoot at will.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin had more opportunities to get the ball after retreating to the target range.

In the 49th minute, Jiang Xiaolin got the ball with his back to the left side of the frontcourt. There was only one person defending him closely, and another person was two or three meters away from him.

Jiang Xiaolin immediately used his full dribbling skills to complete the turn, and then changed direction and dribbled the ball back and forth, and dodged a gap about 28 meters away from the goal to get a shooting space.

Seeing the shooting space, Jiang Xiaolin shot without hesitation.

Although this shot did not have sufficient run-up and power, the strength brought by his own physique and the full long-range shooting skill gave this shot a good power and speed.

The ball flew into the air, passed through the penalty area, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Unfortunately, goalkeeper Martin Pickenhagen had been paying attention to Jiang Xiaolin's movements, and this shot still failed to break through Martin Pickenhagen's ten fingers.

But Jiang Xiaolin's shot was of high quality, and Pickenhagen also saved it reluctantly. In the end, he lifted the ball over the crossbar and hit the goal post. It took him a long time to recover and climb up.

In the subsequent corner kick, Alkmaar failed to grab the first point and was cleared by the defender of Heracles out of the penalty area.

Despite this, Jiang Xiaolin's long-range shot still sounded the alarm for the Heracles team.

Next, no matter where Jiang Xiaolin ran, as long as he did not cross the center line and return to his own half, there were at least two Heracles players around him to closely guard him, and other nearby players were ready to assist and make up for the defense at any time.

It was already quite difficult for Jiang Xiaolin to receive the ball and complete the turn and breakthrough and get the shooting space.

But Van Gaal's tactics did not let Jiang Xiaolin go against the opponent's defense alone, so everyone was not in a hurry.

When Jiang Xiaolin received the ball from time to time to attract multiple players from the opponent to defend, it was natural for other Alkmaar players to run out of the unguarded gap.

So, in the 53rd minute, Jiang Xiaolin attracted three players from the opponent to defend and passed the ball to the gap in the right corner of the penalty area with a wonderful pass.

The right back and captain Yarence quietly inserted into the gap without anyone noticing. After receiving Jiang Xiaolin's wonderful pass, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area a little bit, and then kicked the ball without interference.

However, Yarence's shooting skills were not good, and this shot ended up being a cannon, flying high over the crossbar and into the stands, causing many Heracles home fans in the stands to laugh.

At the same time, it did not attract the attention of the opposing players.

They were still fully focused on defending Jiang Xiaolin, guarding against Jiang Xiaolin's turn and breakthrough shot, while ignoring the running positions of other Alkmaar players and Jiang Xiaolin's pass assists.

As a result, less than 5 minutes after Yarence's shot, in the 58th minute, Jiang Xiaolin took the ball in the same position and attracted three opposing players to scramble, allowing the left forward Moussa Dembele on the other side to run into an open opportunity in the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin dribbled the ball at the right time to avoid the angle and made a precise pass to Dembele.

Moussa Dembele, who rushed into the left wing of the Heracles penalty area, did not stop the ball, but volleyed the ball towards the goal.

However, his shooting skills were not as good as Jiang Xiaolin's. He was lucky to hit the ball within the goal frame, and he didn't hit any tricky angles.

But his non-stop shot was still powerful, so goalkeeper Martin Pickenhagen didn't dare to hold the ball, and could only dive sideways to save the ball from the bottom line.

Alkmaar got another corner kick.

This was the fifth corner kick Alkmaar had won since the start of the game, but Jiang Xiaolin failed to grab the first point and head the ball in the first four.

On the one hand, the three central defenders of Heracles surrounded and defended Jiang Xiaolin alone, and on the other hand, there were also places where teammates didn't pass the ball in place.

After all, others don't have the full-value long pass technology like Jiang Xiaolin, who can accurately send the ball to where they want.

Therefore, although everyone wanted to use corner kicks to let Jiang Xiaolin compete for headers, the first four times failed.

However, this is not a reason for Alkmaar to give up corner kicks.

As Van Gaal said inAs instructed during the break, despite the failure of the previous corner kicks, Alkmaar will continue to create corner kicks and send the ball to Jiang Xiaolin's head.

As long as the corner kick is in place, with Jiang Xiaolin's physique, jumping, ability to grab points, and heading skills, Jiang Xiaolin may score a goal with a chance to win the header.

The same is true for this corner kick.

Although Jiang Xiaolin was tightly surrounded by the three central defenders of the opponent, Stein Schalls, who took the corner kick, still sent the ball to the position between the penalty spot and the front corner of the small penalty area in the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin's position was naturally not there.

If Jiang Xiaolin stood there waiting for his teammates to take the penalty kick, then the opponent would have three people surrounding him and he would not even be able to jump.

Therefore, before this corner kick was taken, Jiang Xiaolin was actually wandering slightly behind the penalty spot.

When Stein Schars raised four fingers to kick the ball, Jiang Xiaolin knew that he was going to take the penalty kick and let Jiang Xiaolin rush to the front point.

So, at the moment when Schars kicked the ball, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly broke free from the pull and blockade of Heracles central defenders Matanz and Boakye, forced through the gap between the two, and rushed to the front point.

Matanz and Boakye were shocked and immediately turned around and followed Jiang Xiaolin to rush forward.

The last central defender behind him, Xia Gaona, even stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Xiaolin's hand that was thrown back, trying to hold Jiang Xiaolin.

But Jiang Xiaolin shook it off in an instant.

After being closely watched by the opponent and missing four corner kicks, Jiang Xiaolin burst out with greater momentum and energy in this corner kick opportunity according to Van Gaal's tactics.

Xia Gaona, who pulled him from behind, failed to hold Jiang Xiaolin, and the two central defenders Mastan and Boakye who defended him from the side also failed to stop him.

No matter how they pulled and bumped, they couldn't stop Jiang Xiaolin's body from rushing forward.

Mustang had no choice but to rush to the front with Jiang Xiaolin and try to jump up to compete with Jiang Xiaolin for the header.

Boakye pulled Jiang Xiaolin's clothes from behind, trying to prevent Jiang Xiaolin from jumping up to compete for the header.

However, this time Jiang Xiaolin really burst out with unprecedented energy in this game.

Of course, it was also related to the fact that Stein Schars's pass was very accurate this time and Mustang and Boakye failed to stop Jiang Xiaolin's forward run in the first place.

In short, under the watchful eyes of everyone at the scene and in front of the TV, at the moment when Stein Schars took the corner kick, Jiang Xiaolin at the back point immediately squeezed out Mastan and Boakye who were defending him, made a small arc from the penalty spot, rushed to the position between the penalty spot and the front corner of the small penalty area, and suddenly jumped up, leaping high, overpowering the central defender Mastan who jumped at the same time, and shook his head with a powerful lion's head to meet the ball from the side, accurately hitting the ball and heading it towards the goal of Heracles.

Although Boakye below made a move to reach out and pull Jiang Xiaolin's clothes, he didn't dare to go too far after all.

Because if he went too far and formed a foul, giving Alkmaar a penalty kick, he would be dead without a burial place.

Therefore, in fact, Boakye didn't dare to pull with all his strength.

As a result, he failed to pull Jiang Xiaolin, allowing Jiang Xiaolin to fully jump and jump to the highest point, overpowering Matansi to win the header.

The power of Schals' pass and Jiang Xiaolin's header was like a heavy bomb, instantly changing direction and hitting the near point of the goal.

Goalkeeper Martin Pickenhagen, who had been staring at Jiang Xiaolin, moved to the near point the moment Jiang Xiaolin moved.

But Jiang Xiaolin's header was too close, and Martin Pickenhagen only had time to subconsciously reach out and make a save.

Although he touched the ball, he only touched the fur.

The ball only changed its line slightly, but he did not push it out of the bottom line. It was still within the goal frame. In the expectant eyes of countless neutral fans, Jiang Xiaolin fans, and overseas Chinese fans, it flew into the goal of Heracles along the post.

With a "wow..." sound, more than 4,000 Alkmaar away fans at the scene instantly burst into deafening shouts and screams, straight into the sky.

In the commentary booth, whether it was the Dutch National Television, Alkmaar City Television, or the Chinese commentators, as well as the commentators in the broadcasting studios of various countries' television stations who were not on site, all shouted excitedly at the top of their voices at this moment:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball went in!"

"The ball went in!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal!"

"Oh my God!""Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal!"

"The 43rd goal!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored his 43rd goal in the Eredivisie this season!"

"Jiang Xiaolin tied Cohen Dillon's 43-goal Eredivisie record in the 1956/1957 season!"

"At this moment, Jiang Xiaolin and Cohen Dillon have become the holders of the Eredivisie single-season record!"

"Incredible!"

"Jiang Xiaolin really tied Cohen Dillon's record that had been sealed for half a century!"

"When Heracles used the ultimate defensive tactics in the first half and stared at Jiang Xiaolin alone in defense, everyone thought Jiang Xiaolin would not be able to score in this game."

"Unexpectedly, in the 58th minute of the second half, Jiang Xiaolin finally won a header in a corner attack and broke through the three central defenders of the opponent. "This is a great goal, this is a great moment!" "Jiang Xiaolin tied Cohen Dillon's record of 34 games in just 18 games!" "The key is that this game is not over yet!" "Jiang Xiaolin even has time to break this record and create his own unique single-season Eredivisie goal record for half a century!" "Let us pay tribute to Jiang Xiaolin, who tied the Eredivisie single-season goal record of 43 goals, with the warmest applause and the highest respect!" Whether it is at the scene or in front of the TV, whether in the Netherlands or around the world, whether it is day or night, fans watching the live broadcast everywhere applauded, cheered and screamed for Jiang Xiaolin's goal. Even some of the Heracles fans at home shook their heads and sighed while applauding Jiang Xiaolin. They were also shocked and conquered by Jiang Xiaolin's performance. As for the 4,000 Alkmaar away fans who came to see Jiang Xiaolin break the record, they were obviously the most excited.

Before Jiang Xiaolin scored, many banners in the stands were cheering for Jiang Xiaolin.

But when Jiang Xiaolin scored and tied Cohen Dillon's record of 43 goals, countless new banners appeared in the stands, paying homage to Jiang Xiaolin's feat of scoring and tying the record.

Before Jiang Xiaolin scored, everyone was embarrassed to put them out. Now that Jiang Xiaolin has scored and tied the record, everyone can put these banners out without restraint.

Of course, this is just the banner for tying the record.

In fact, the fans have prepared more record-breaking banners or portraits, waiting for Jiang Xiaolin's second goal.

Of course, that's all for the future.

At this moment, whether it is Jiang Xiaolin or the fans, they just celebrate his first goal of the game and tie Cohen Dillon's record of 43 goals.

After Jiang Xiaolin headed the ball into the goal, he excitedly rushed along the baseline to the stands where away fans gathered. He rushed to the sidelines and slid down to celebrate passionately, which made the fans in the stands even more excited.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiaolin was pressed down by his teammates who caught up with him to celebrate.

Even the goalkeeper, coaches such as Van Gaal, and teammates on the bench rushed over to celebrate together.

Jiang Xiaolin's goal was not just his own.

After Jiang Xiaolin scored this goal, Alkmaar also led Heracles with a score of 2-0, basically locking in the victory.

In this way, Alkmaar can continue to lead the standings, continue to hold the initiative to win the Eredivisie, and even the fault tolerance initiative in three-line operations.

Therefore, even though tying the record was Jiang Xiaolin's own thing, the coach and teammates couldn't help but rush up to celebrate with Jiang Xiaolin because of the double joy of Jiang Xiaolin tying the record and the team securing the victory.
