God of Green

Chapter 72

The ball that Joel shoveled out fell at the feet of midfielder Douglas.

Douglas, who did not hear the referee's whistle, naturally ignored the protests of the Groningen players and directly passed the ball to Bruno on the right.

When he saw Joel successfully shoveled the ball and the ball was about to fall at Douglas' feet, Jiang Xiaolin had already turned and rushed to Groningen's half.

In front of him, there was only a Groningen central defender who was retreating and blocking, trying to block Jiang Xiaolin's running position.

Then, Douglas's pass fell at Bruno's feet, and Bruno started to counterattack with the ball.

Because it was Groningen's attack just now, and Groningen's formation was quite forward, there was only one full-back in front of Bruno after he got the ball.

On his left, there was Kagel, who turned and ran to the opponent's half at the same time as Jiang Xiaolin, but not far from Bruno.

Therefore, Bruno did not try to break through the opponent's full-back who was retreating and blocking, but kicked the ball to Bruno, and then he suddenly accelerated and rushed past the opponent's full-back without the ball.

Kagel did not stop the ball in the sprint, because there was also a Groningen central defender next to him trying to steal the ball.

He kicked the ball diagonally to the side without stopping the ball, which was the direction of Bruno's forward advance.

This was a standard two-pass cooperation.

Bruno and Kagel successfully passed the last full-back in a two-pass cooperation, and then dribbled the ball to the bottom at a high speed.

Jiang Xiaolin followed up at high speed in the middle.

Because of Groningen's large pressure just now, there were only two central defenders and one full-back in the backcourt.

The full-back was blocked behind by Bruno, and the other central defender had to defend Kagel who was advancing, so Jiang Xiaolin had only one central defender next to him.

Even though the central defender was originally standing farther back, giving him an advantage over Jiang Xiaolin in defense, how could he keep up with Jiang Xiaolin in speed?

Even if he was blocking while retreating, he still couldn't block Jiang Xiaolin, who was strong and fast.

When the two of them ran to the top of the penalty area in the entanglement of blocking, and saw Jiang Xiaolin surpassing the central defender and rushing into the penalty area first, Bruno, who was dribbling the ball down the side, blocked the full-back who was chasing back at full speed behind him, and then when Jiang Xiaolin was about to surpass the central defender and rush into the penalty area, he made a timely low pass and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Then, Bruno, who lost his balance, was pushed to the ground by the full-back behind him.

But it was no use, the ball had been passed by Bruno.

The ball passed by Bruno rolled diagonally into the penalty area.

When Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area, he accelerated again and blocked the central defender behind him.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area and volleyed the ball that rolled over from the side, shooting the ball from the crotch of the Groningen goalkeeper who was attacking, and then flew into the goal behind the goalkeeper.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin, who lost his balance, fell in the penalty area.

However, the ball had already flown into the goal.

In the 87th minute, Jiang Xiaolin scored another goal through a counterattack and performed a hat trick, helping the Alkmaar Youth Team to lead the Groningen Youth Team 4-1 at home.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin, who fell to the ground and rolled around, stood up and rolled, excitedly rushed to the stands and celebrated.

Although he didn't know where Van Gaal was, he was sure that he could impress Van Gaal in the stands with a hat trick and an assist.

Just as Jiang Xiaolin thought, Van Gaal in the stands stood up excitedly like other fans and applauded Jiang Xiaolin vigorously.

Although he did not cheer and scream like other fans, Van Gaal's excitement was no less than that of the fans.

Looking at the Chinese teenager surrounded by his teammates on the sidelines, Van Gaal was sure that he had found Alkmaar's main attacker for the second half of the season.

Hat trick + 1 assist in this game, 13 goals + 2 assists in 4 games of the Dutch Youth League. Such performance must be transferred to the first team immediately.

Several forwards in the first team are really disappointing. Jiang Xiaolin must be transferred to the first team immediately.

Regardless of his other skills, Jiang Xiaolin's shooting, headers, and physical fitness alone are enough for him to gain a foothold in the first team and become the main striker.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin's skills in stopping the ball, dribbling, passing, etc. are not bad now, and the improvement is too great compared to the level a month ago.

If the first team had not lost five games in a row, Van Gaal might have more patience and let Jiang Xiaolin continue to train slowly in the youth team.

But Van Gaal, who had lost five games in a row, was under great pressure and could not wait any longer. Otherwise, he would not have come to the youth team to watch the live game today when the first team was going to play away tomorrow.

Must be done immediatelyJiang Xiaolin will be transferred to the first team to change Alkmaar's forward offensive ability.

Otherwise, the team may continue to lose six, seven, and eight games in a row.

As a well-known coach, Van Gaal has lost face this season and has become a laughing stock in the Eredivisie.

Moreover, if he transfers Jiang Xiaolin to the first team now, he can let Jiang Xiaolin adapt to the game environment and rhythm of the Eredivisie in advance in the remaining games of this season, and then become Alkmaar's forward knife in the next season.

Even though the results this season are a mess and now they have suffered five consecutive defeats, Van Gaal still has not given up the idea of ​​bringing a championship to Alkmaar.

After all, he is not an ordinary coach, but a famous football coach who has coached Ajax, Barcelona, ​​and the Dutch national team.

He can't coach Alkmaar for four years without a trophy.

This season is powerless, and Van Gaal puts his hope on the next season.

Jiang Xiaolin in front of him is one of his trump cards for Alkmaar to fight for the championship next season.

On the field, Jiang Xiaolin and others celebrated for a while, and then the game continued.

Groningen, which was already three goals behind, had no confidence in turning defeat into victory and completely lost motivation.

In the remaining few minutes, both sides were a little lazy and dawdling, and only Jiang Xiaolin was still running hard for a better game rating and trying to get a chance to shoot.

In the 91st minute of stoppage time, Jiang Xiaolin, who kept running and looking for opportunities, almost scored a goal again.

He grabbed the first point and headed the ball in a cross from Lanlot's side, almost completing a hat trick.

However, the ball was slightly off due to the interference of the opponent's defender, and finally hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area, and was cleared out of the sideline by another defender of the opponent.

Although the ball did not go in in the end, Jiang Xiaolin's spirit of fighting until the last moment of the game was enough to shock and admire everyone.
