God of Green

After the first round of the UEFA Cup semi-final against Hamburg, Jiang Xiaolin once again dominated the screens of the world's media.

Because Jiang Xiaolin* scored four goals in the European competition and raised his goal tally in the UEFA Cup this season to 22, breaking the 20-goal mark.

Such a goal efficiency is simply astonishing.

In the global media's reports and heated discussions on Jiang Xiaolin, on May 3, the 33rd round of the Eredivisie, which was also the penultimate round of the Eredivisie this season, Alkmaar played away against Twente, the opponent that was just eliminated by Alkmaar in the Dutch Cup semi-finals.

However, in this league, Alkmaar, which had already won the championship in advance, only sent out a half-main and half-substitute lineup. Winning or losing didn't matter, it just let the players find the feeling of the game, but not too tired.

Even so, Jiang Xiaolin also helped Alkmaar score two goals in the first half with a goal and an assist.

However, perhaps it was the 5-1 elimination by Alkmaar in the Dutch Cup that made Twente lose face. In this game, without all the main players of Alkmaar, Twente played very boldly and attacked very sharply, and also scored 2 goals in the first half.

The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-2.

During the halftime break, Jiang Xiaolin was replaced by Van Gaal.

After the start of the second half, seeing Alkmaar replace Jiang Xiaolin, Twente players on the field and fans in the stands were immediately refreshed, and the attack in the second half was much more fierce.

Although Ali, who came on as a substitute in the second half, ran actively and received a pass from Moussa Dembele in the 72nd minute to score Alkmaar's third goal.

However, Twente scored more.

In the second half, when Alkmaar did not have Jiang Xiaolin, Twente pressed forward in the midfield and backcourt to assist, and scored 3 goals in 45 minutes in the second half.

So, 90 minutes later, the score on the big screen was 5-3. Twente defeated Alkmaar 5-3, which was also a revenge for being eliminated in the Dutch Cup semi-finals.

Of course, for Alkmaar, who had already won the Dutch Eredivisie championship in advance, it didn't matter if they lost this game.

It was just that Jiang Xiaolin didn't have the experience reward for winning.

But for Jiang Xiaolin, who now needs 5 million experience points to upgrade to the next level, the 4,000 points of winning bonus in the Dutch Eredivisie is no longer important.

Everyone is more concerned about the second round of the UEFA Cup semi-final.

Despite this, Jiang Xiaolin still received a lot of coverage from the Dutch and international media after the game.

Because he scored again and broke the world record, his Dutch Eredivisie goals this season reached 62 goals.

Next, it is time to prepare for the second round of the UEFA Cup semi-final against Hamburg.

Despite the 6-1 victory in the first round, Van Gaal still brought most of the main players to the away game. Because the next game is the league, and the league has already been won, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, ensuring that the UEFA Cup advances to the final is the top priority, even if it seems too cautious.

At 19:45 on the evening of May 7, 2009, with the referee's whistle, the second leg of the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup semi-final between Hamburg and Alkmaar officially began.

Hamburg played with all its main players, and they really wanted to fight for the slim chance of advancement.

Alkmaar, on the other hand, only had a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

With a huge advantage of 6-1 in the first leg, it was almost impossible for Alkmaar to be reversed.

What's more, Van Gaal also sent Jiang Xiaolin, the killer.

With the new skill of cycling, Jiang Xiaolin's goal efficiency in recent games seems to have improved a lot compared to before. In the last five games, he scored four goals twice, five goals in a single game, and two goals once, which is simply astonishing.

Sure enough, Alkmaar, with Jiang Xiaolin, completely killed the game in the first half.

Because they wanted to reverse the situation, the huge score difference forced Hamburg to attack with all their strength, and they didn't take care of the backcourt so well.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin's counterattacks were almost accurate.

In the 10th minute, Jiang Xiaolin scored Alkmaar's first goal of the game with a long-distance attack that passed three people.

In the 27th minute, Jiang Xiaolin grabbed the air ball that his teammate kicked to the frontcourt in the frontcourt, and headed the ball to Maarten Martens who was inserted in the back row, and then Martens assisted Hamdaoyi to score.

In the 39th minute, Jiang Xiaolin was forcibly pulled to the ground when he tried to break through the opponent's player in the frontcourt with a bicycle kick, winning himself a free kick opportunity.

Jiang Xiaolin completed it in one fell swoop, using a perfect arc to free kickThe Italian goal sent the ball into the dead corner of Hamburg's goal.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Jiang Xiaolin scored twice and helped Alkmaar score 3 goals.

Hamburg, who attacked with all their strength, only scored 2 goals.

Alkmaar took a huge lead of 9-3 in the total score of the two rounds, and also led Hamburg's 1 goal with 3 goals in the away goals.

In other words, if Hamburg wanted to advance to the UEFA Cup final in the second half, it would not be enough to score 6 goals to make up for the disadvantage in the score difference. It must score 7 goals and reverse the total score of 10-9.

But how is that possible?

So, during the halftime break, Van Gaal decisively replaced the two main players Jiang Xiaolin and Moussa Dembele and let them rest.

On the Hamburg side, even though they saw Jiang Xiaolin had left the field, they did not have the energy to attack and try to reverse and overtake.

The gap of 6 goals completely defeated the offensive power of Hamburg.

The second half ended with both sides dawdling.

In the semi-final of the UEFA Cup, Alkmaar won 6-1 at home in the first leg, 3-2 away in the second leg, and 9-3 in total. They defeated Hamburg both home and away and successfully advanced to the final of the UEFA Cup in the 2008/2009 season.

Alkmaar's advancement was actually doomed after the first leg, so there were not many media reports on the Alkmaar club after the game.

But the reports on Jiang Xiaolin were as crazy as ever.

Because Jiang Xiaolin scored again.

His UEFA Cup goals this season have reached 24 goals, a number that makes people extremely shocked and desperate.

You know, Klinsmann's record for goals in a single season in the previous UEFA Cup was only 15!

And now, Jiang Xiaolin has raised this record to 24 goals before the final!

Everyone has already imagined that no one will surpass or even approach this record for decades or hundreds of years, unless the number of UEFA Cup matches increases significantly.

In addition to the record of goals scored in European competitions, Jiang Xiaolin has scored 200 goals in all recorded matches, including the Dutch Amateur League D, club and national team friendly matches, the Beijing Olympics, and the Heqingjia match.

Jiang Xiaolin has already completed 1/5 of the 1,000-goal record, which is really amazing.

To complete these 200 goals, Jiang Xiaolin only used 85 games, with an average of 2.35 goals per game, and his goal efficiency is the best in football. Throughout history, no one in football has Jiang Xiaolin's goal efficiency, and no one has even half of Jiang Xiaolin's goal efficiency.

Jiang Xiaolin has completely become a unique goal-scoring machine, super big*.

In addition, even if the national team matches are not counted, Jiang Xiaolin has scored 62 goals in the league, 24 goals in the UEFA Cup, and 13 goals in the Dutch Cup this season at the Alkmaar Club.

In total, Jiang Xiaolin has scored a terrifying 99 goals in the three events, and is about to break the 100-goal mark.

This is an unprecedented record, and has long broken the club's single-season total goal record.

But once it breaks through the three-digit mark, it will be even more eye-catching.

According to the official staff of the Guinness World Records in an interview, after the end of this season, they will issue a world record certificate to Jiang Xiaolin, which will not only be the world record for the total number of league goals in a single season, but also the world record for the total number of goals in the club season.

Therefore, on May 10, 2009, in the 34th round of the 2008/2009 Eredivisie season, Alkmaar played against Heerenveen at home, the last round of the league this season, although it was no longer important to Alkmaar, more than 10,000 fans still poured into the AFAS Stadium, filling the entire stadium.

Everyone came to witness Jiang Xiaolin's 100-goal mark, and also to witness Jiang Xiaolin's possible last game.

Since Jiang Xiaolin returned from injury, rumors have been circulating among major European giants that they want to introduce Jiang Xiaolin.

As Jiang Xiaolin's performance becomes more and more outstanding, the 50 million euro penalty becomes less and less of an obstacle. Jiang Xiaolin's transfer away from Alkmaar this summer has almost become a foregone conclusion.

Although Jiang Xiaolin has always stated in interviews with reporters that the season has not ended yet and he is not talking about the transfer issue at the moment.

But this statement itself is a tacit confirmation of the rumors of a transfer in the summer.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiaolin should be expressing his loyalty to Alkmaar and expressing his determination to stay.

Therefore, even if the fans are reluctant to let Jiang Xiaolin go, they all know that Jiang Xiaolin will definitely transfer away from Alkmaar this summer.

At present, although Alkmaar is stillThere are the finals of the Dutch Cup and the UEFA Cup that have not been played, but both finals will be held at neutral venues.

Therefore, everyone has a hunch that this is Jiang Xiaolin's last game at the AFAS Stadium in the last Eredivisie game today.

Before the game started, many of Jiang Xiaolin's Alkmaar fans put up banners and slogans in the stands asking Jiang Xiaolin not to leave, trying to keep Jiang Xiaolin.

But Jiang Xiaolin did not respond, which made many fans see Jiang Xiaolin's intentions and felt a lot more sad.

Soon, the game started.

This game is a full week away from the next Dutch Cup final, and will not involve the players' physical fitness.

On the contrary, the time before the final is too long, and Van Gaal must maintain the players' competitive state through a real game.

Therefore, Alkmaar played all the main players in this game, but the players did not fight so hard in the game.

After all, they did not have any requirements for winning or losing this game.

Only Jiang Xiaolin devoted himself to the game from beginning to end.

Heerenveen is different. They still have to compete with PSV Eindhoven for a place in the Champions League play-offs.

Therefore, despite being away and Alkmaar's main players, Heerenveen still fought against Alkmaar without hesitation.

But although Alkmaar's players were not aggressive in attack, they were still very attentive in defense, after all, they were all main players.

In addition, Heerenveen's players' breakthrough techniques, shooting skills, etc. were inferior, so they failed to score a goal.

Instead, Alkmaar broke the deadlock in the 25th minute.

And the goal was scored by Jiang Xiaolin, who was expected by everyone.

Although Heerenveen had been very cautious in guarding Jiang Xiaolin, Jiang Xiaolin's breakthrough ability was improved by more than one level after Jiang Xiaolin added the full value of the bicycle pedaling skill.

Because the bicycle pedaling skill can be used suddenly during the fast forward movement, it is more practical than fried meatballs, crotch passing, etc.

Many times, you can even directly knock down the opponent, and even lose the ability to chase back.

This counterattack was Jiang Xiaolin's use of his speed, bicycle kicking, and ball-passing. He received the ball from the midfield and passed three people to score a single goal.

When Jiang Xiaolin scored the ball into Heerenveen's goal, the entire AFAS stadium exploded!

Countless fans put aside the sadness of losing Jiang Xiaolin and excitedly gave Jiang Xiaolin applause and screams of worship.

The commentators in the commentary booth also shouted excitedly at the top of their voices:

"Goal..."

"The ball went in!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored!"

"The 100th goal!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored his 100th goal for Alkmaar this season!"

"Unprecedented! Unparalleled!"

"Too shocking!"

"A player can score 100 goals in a season, this is a scene I have never thought of before!"

"Today, we witnessed the birth of a miracle at the AFAS Stadium!"

"Jiang Xiaolin is a god, a god on the green field!"

The title of the God of Green Field has since been given to Jiang Xiaolin. However, Jiang Xiaolin's honors are still a little less and have not yet been widely recognized.

Jiang Xiaolin on the court naturally didn't know that a commentator described him as the God of Green. He was also happy that he had scored the club's 100th goal of the season. He celebrated with his teammates for almost half a minute before returning to his own half under the protest of Heerenveen players, allowing Heerenveen to kick the ball from the center circle.

After the game resumed, Alkmaar played more easily.

After all, they had already scored a goal and were leading. If Heerenveen wanted to equalize or even reverse the game, they had to attack.

In this way, Alkmaar would be easier to counterattack.

From the moment Jiang Xiaolin scored the first goal, Heerenveen's defeat was almost doomed.

In the following game, Jiang Xiaolin scored twice with a free kick, and scored a long-distance goal again shortly after the start of the second half, completing a hat trick.

After completing the hat trick, Jiang Xiaolin was replaced by Van Gaal and enjoyed the standing ovation of the Alkmaar fans alone.

Countless people shouted his name, trying to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Xiaolin could not agree and could only bow to the fans to express his gratitude.

This was destined to be his last game in Alkmaar and at the AFAS Stadium.

After Jiang Xiaolin left the field, Heerenveen scored a goal in the 68th minute, but Alkmaar scored the fourth goal in the 82nd minute by Stein Schalls..

In the end, Alkmaar won 4-1 at home against Heerenveen in the last round of the 2008/2009 Eredivisie season, ending this glorious season.

Alkmaar, a little-known team, finally won the second Eredivisie championship in the club's history in the fourth season of hiring the world-famous coach Van Gaal.

In addition, they also entered the finals of the Dutch Cup and the League Cup, and may even complete the miracle of the small treble.

What will the result be, countless people are waiting to see.
