God of Green

When Jiang Xiaolin controlled the ball, Jiang Xiaolin's partner, No. 10 striker Hamdaoyi, temporarily shook off the Moscow Spartak player who was defending him by a sudden change of direction, and ran into a gap on the left side of the penalty area.

Of course, when Jiang Xiaolin saw Hamdaoyi's running position, this gap had not been blocked.

But Jiang Xiaolin couldn't pass the ball because there was a Moscow Spartak player blocking the penalty spot in the middle.

However, sometimes, the football can be passed without passing it directly.

This is the importance of passing and coordination on the field.

Jiang Xiaolin passed the ball directly to Maarten Martens at the top of the penalty area, and shouted to Martens while passing the ball: "Left!"

Martens couldn't shoot because the Moscow Spartak player on the penalty spot also blocked his shot.

Moreover, Martens also saw Hamdaoyi's running position.

In addition, Jiang Xiaolin also reminded him, so he naturally knew what to do.

Jiang Xiaolin's pass was quite comfortable. Martens didn't even stop the ball. He just pushed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Martens' pass was extraordinary, almost a perfect assist. No matter the power, speed, or route, it was just right for Hamdaoyi who completed the final shot.

Hamdaoyi rushed in from outside the penalty area without stopping the ball. He directly shot the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal in response to Martens' pass.

When Hamdaoyi kicked the ball out, the defender who had just been thrown away and desperately returned to defense rushed to the ground and knocked Hamdaoyi, who had tilted his center of gravity after completing the shot, to the ground.

But it was useless at this time.

At the same time that Hamdaoyi fell to the ground, the ball had already entered the goal of Spartak Moscow.

Although goalkeeper Bredko tried his best to save the ball, he was still a hair's breadth away and failed to touch the ball.

Finally, in the 79th minute, Alkmaar scored a goal with the assist of Maarten Martens to tie the score.

Dozens of Alkmaar away fans in the stands cheered excitedly, causing the nearby Russian fans to glare.

However, those who can travel to Moscow with the team in such weather are also not easy to deal with, they are all tough guys. These fans can't help but not be afraid, but rather show off their power.

If there were no security guards and police separating the two sides, there might be a physical conflict.

On the court, Alkmaar's players held back for most of the game, and finally scored a goal, and finally they could celebrate.

Hamdaoyi excitedly rushed to the sidelines and celebrated with a passionate bomber-like dive slide, raising a large piece of snow on the grass.

Then, he was pressed down by his teammates who came to celebrate, and he screamed.

On the sidelines, Van Gaal, his assistants, team doctors, and substitutes also celebrated enthusiastically.

The way the game turned out was somewhat beyond Van Gaal's expectations. It seems that the weather and the grass have a great impact on the Alkmaar players.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaolin finally found a new way, suddenly nailed in the penalty area, and became a tactical center forward, which resulted in this goal.

Although this goal was not scored by Jiang Xiaolin, not even an assist, Van Gaal could see clearly that Jiang Xiaolin contributed the most to this goal.

This is the role of a tactical center forward.

In the next game, the situation of both sides is different again.

Both sides had won one game before, with 3 points, and there is still one game to go.

In terms of points, both sides are the same.

However, in the last round of the game, the situation of both sides is very different.

Although Alkmaar is facing Udinese, Udinese has won two games in a row and ranked first in the standings. This round, they will face Dinamo Zagreb at home, and the probability of winning is also quite high.

In this way, Udinese will advance to the next round in advance. In the last round, Alkmaar will face Udinese at home again, and the opponent may let them go.

However, Spartak Moscow will face Tottenham Hotspur away in the last round, and the two teams must fight hard.

Therefore, now that the score between Alkmaar and Spartak Moscow has become a tie, the situation is relatively favorable to Alkmaar and unfavorable to Spartak Moscow.

There is no way, Spartak Moscow can only start to press out and take the initiative to attack.

And Alkmaar did not retreat.

Just after equalizing the score, Alkmaar’s morale is soaring, and they want to score another goal to reverse the game!

Therefore, in the last 10 minutes, the two teams who both wanted to score a goal fought more fiercely than before.

And in such a fight, Jiang Xiaolin's role as a tactical center forward seems to be even more significant.

Even if he cannot face the goal directly to pose a threat, Jiang Xiaolin poses a huge threat to his opponents just as a tactical center forward.

In the 82nd minute, Jiang Xiaolin once again took the ball with his back to the penalty area, and then passed the ball to the penalty area line.

David Mendes, the defensive midfielder who came in from the back, shot a fierce shot, but was blocked by a Spartak Moscow player who flew to block the gun hole in an emergency.

However, Mendes' shot was too powerful. The Spartak Moscow player who was hit hard on the ribs by the ball fell to the ground for almost half a minute before he stood up and grinned and re-entered the game.

In the 85th minute, Alkmaar made a mistake in passing the ball in the midfield, and Spartak Moscow seized the opportunity to launch a high-quality counterattack, and even formed a single knife in the end.

Unfortunately, the slippery field does not discriminate between people.

Although the players of Spartak Moscow are more adaptable than those of Alkmaar, they still cannot be completely avoided.

Striker Shane Gao, who was dribbling the ball to the penalty area line, faced the attacking Alkmaar goalkeeper Sergio Romero. When he was about to shoot, his supporting foot suddenly slipped and the ball was kicked out, and Romero easily caught it in his arms.

Tens of thousands of Russian fans in the stands saw their team's striker get a chance to shoot alone, and they had already stood up and wanted to celebrate excitedly.

Unexpectedly, when he finally shot, his foot slipped and the ball was kicked out.

There were continuous sighs in the stands.

It was really unlucky.

It would be fine if the goalkeeper kicked the ball out, but it was really frustrating that he slipped and failed to kick the ball well.

In the 87th minute, Jiang Xiaolin withdrew from the penalty area and got the ball. He suddenly passed the Moscow Spartak defender who was blocking him with a crotch pass, and then shot.

Unfortunately, the shot was a bit hasty. Even with Jiang Xiaolin's full shooting skills, he was unable to control the ball well. He didn't hit the angle, but was slightly straight and was saved by the goalkeeper.

As time went on, the 90-minute game time was about to end and the extra time was about to begin, and the fight between the two sides became more and more intense.

Because both sides wanted to win, neither of them would accept the result of a draw.

As a result of the fierce fight, both sides naturally committed more fouls.

But Alkmaar was fearless because Spartak Moscow didn't have any free kick experts, so they could commit fouls without restraint.

In the 89th minute, Spartak Moscow's front midfielder Baisduff used technology to break through the back midfielder David Mendes who was intercepting him at the front of the penalty area.

Seeing that Baisduff's successful breakthrough would make it possible for him to enter the penalty area and create a threat, Mendes, who had just been broken through but not yet thrown away, reached out from behind and pulled Baisduff down.

While Mendes received a yellow card, he also gave Spartak Moscow a free kick with a good position and distance.

Unfortunately, Spartak Moscow did not have a free kick expert and failed to seize this opportunity. Baisduff, who created the free kick, took the free kick himself, but it flew high over the crossbar.

Soon, the 90-minute regular game time ended and the referee gave 4 minutes of stoppage time.

Although the game had entered stoppage time and was about to end, the fight between the two sides did not slow down. Both sides wanted to score goals and kill the opponent in the last minute.

Because there was no free kick expert in Spartak Moscow, Alkmaar was not under much pressure to commit tactical fouls.

Just like the time when David Mendes pulled down Baisduff, it was a typical tactical foul. Although Spartak Moscow was given a free kick, the opponent could not grasp it.

On the other hand, Spartak Moscow, although they knew that the opponent had a free kick master like Jiang Xiaolin, they tried their best to control not to commit fouls in dangerous areas.

But as the game became more and more intense towards the end, neither side was willing to accept the result of a draw, and the fight became more intense. Sometimes things happened suddenly, and it was too late to react.

In the 91st minute, Spartak Moscow's midfield pass was intercepted by Alkmaar's multiple players.

The ball was handed to Jiang Xiaolin, who used his speed to eat up Spartak Moscow's central defender Kurz. Seeing that the last central defender Bingo Gesev was about to be broken through by Jiang Xiaolin, Bingo Gesev also reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiaolin tightly, trying to pull Jiang Xiaolin down.

Then a shocking scene appeared on the court.

Maybe Jiang Xiaolin's physique was too strong, or maybe the ground was too slippery. Bingo Gesev, who held Jiang Xiaolin's right hand tightly with both hands, had already sat on the ground, but was still dragged forward by Jiang Xiaolin.Jiang Xiaolin had to stop his sprinting pace after he had moved three or four meters.

Unable to get rid of the opponent, dragging a Russian strongman weighing more than 100 kilograms, Jiang Xiaolin could not drag a person forward no matter how strong his physique was.

Originally, based on the principle of attacking advantage, the referee did not blow the whistle just now, because he was afraid that it would be embarrassing if Jiang Xiaolin suddenly shot a long shot from outside the penalty area and scored a goal.

But as Jiang Xiaolin stopped moving forward, the ball was out of Jiang Xiaolin's control and was taken by the attacking goalkeeper Bredko, the referee blew the whistle for Bingojesev's foul without hesitation.

Bingojesev was shown a yellow card by the referee without any suspense, and Alkmaar was awarded a free kick in a good position at the front of the penalty area.

Bingojesev seemed to remember Jiang Xiaolin's free kick threat belatedly after the referee blew the whistle to show him a yellow card.

In the previous official matches, Jiang Xiaolin had scored many times with direct free kicks.

Giving Jiang Xiaolin a free kick at this position is tantamount to a huge threat.

But Bingojesifu also knew that he was dragged so far by Jiang Xiaolin this time, and the evidence was solid, but there was no room for rebuttal.

Therefore, whether it was himself or his teammates, they could only accept this free kick helplessly.

The fans of Spartak Moscow in the stands had already booed, which seemed to interfere with Jiang Xiaolin's free kick.

Although Jiang Xiaolin was a little annoyed that he was pulled by Bingojesifu and failed to form a single shot, he still had a chance to score after getting a free kick in the frontcourt with a good position and distance.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin kept trying to force himself to calm down, wanting to calm down, take this free kick well, and preferably score it and kill the opponent.

You know, it's already stoppage time. If you score a goal at this time, you can completely kill the opponent.

The players of Spartak Moscow also know this truth.

Goalkeeper Bredko knew that Jiang Xiaolin would definitely choose to shoot directly, so this time he arranged a wall of 6 people, not only blocking the near corner, but also the far corner.

He was afraid that Jiang Xiaolin would have the opportunity to change the ball path temporarily and shoot at the far corner.

Now the wall blocked all the shooting angles at the near and far ends. The goalkeeper stood in the middle of the goal, and Jiang Xiaolin could only play a curved ball around the wall to have a chance to score.

Jiang Xiaolin did not intend to take shortcuts this time. He hoped to use a perfect curved free kick to complete the final reversal for the team.

Standing behind the penalty spot, Jiang Xiaolin kept taking deep breaths, adjusting his physical condition, and waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.

After a while, seeing that the wall of Spartak Moscow was completely lined up and the other players on both sides were ready, the referee blew the whistle for the penalty kick.

Jiang Xiaolin took a deep breath, then exhaled it for a long time, and then looked at the position of the wall, the goal, and the goalkeeper, and started to run.

After a few steps, Jiang Xiaolin ran to the back of the penalty spot, with his left foot on the side support column, his body tilted, and his right foot swung up, kicking the ball in the middle and lower part.

The ball flew into the air, flew over the right side of the wall of people who jumped, and went around an arc to the goal frame.

The goalkeeper did not make a prediction in advance, but rushed over after seeing the ball path.

So everyone saw that Jiang Xiaolin's free kick passed the wall of people, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then flew into the upper right corner of the goal.

And the goalkeeper Bredko, who was originally in the middle of the goal, tried hard to save the ball, but he did not make a prediction, which caused the save to start a little slower.

In the end, the ball flew into the upper right corner of Spartak Moscow along the goal post before his palm was in place.

This ball was undisputed.

The referee took a look, pointed to the middle circle, and blew the whistle for the goal to be valid.

In the 91st minute of stoppage time, Jiang Xiaolin took advantage of a free kick opportunity to score his first goal of the game and Alkmaar's second goal of the game, which also helped Alkmaar complete the score reversal.
