Chapter 145

So, just when the players of Venlo were still immersed in the joy of their first goal, in the 22nd minute, Alkmaar launched a quick counterattack.

At this time, it was originally Venlo's attack, but when the attack reached the front side, Venlo's left forward Amrabat wanted to break through Alkmaar's right back and captain Jariens, and then pass the ball from the bottom.

As a result, Amrabat failed to break through, and Jariens made an accurate grab and poked the ball away.

After losing control of the ball, Amrabat was not as fast as Jariens, and Jariens grabbed the ball before him and poked the ball to the right forward Stein Schars not far in front.

After Jariens poked the ball out, Amrabat, who was intercepted and eager to counter-grab the ball, pushed Jariens to the ground.

This action was actually a foul, but the referee did not blow the whistle because the ball was at the feet of Alkmaar player Schars.

In line with the principle of attacking in an advantageous position, the referee signaled the game to continue. Yarians did not lie on the ground all the time, but immediately turned over and got up, and pressed forward with the overall formation to provide support to his teammates in the frontcourt.

But this attack actually did not need Yarians.

It was originally a counterattack after Venlo's attack was interrupted, so Schals would naturally not waste time.

When Schals dribbled the ball close to Venlo's No. 4 left back Wei Dierlun, Wei Dierlun retreated and blocked his position, ready to seize the opportunity, but Schals did not give him a chance to steal the ball. After crossing the center line, he directly passed the ball to the middle.

At the moment when Yarians intercepted the ball, Jiang Xiaolin and Ali on the forward line, as well as Maarten Martens and Moussa Dembele in the midfield, had already started running forward.

When Schals passed the ball to the middle, Martens had already rushed several meters past the center line.

Although there was a defender from Venlo defending in front of him, Martens still received the ball smoothly and made a fake move to avoid the angle, and then passed the ball to the left with enough lead time.

Left midfielder No. 7 Dembele received the pass from Martens while running at high speed, and directly dribbled the ball to the sideline, bypassing the full-back Kaye who was defending him from the outside, and then went down the bottom while observing the situation in the middle.

Then, when Jiang Xiaolin and Ali were about to rush into the penalty area, Dembele kicked the ball from the sideline.

The ball flew into the air, passed in front of the full-back Kaye who flew to intercept, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the front point of the small penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin was originally rushing to the middle, and Ali was at the back point.

But after Dembele kicked the ball, Jiang Xiaolin's full-value off-ball running and ability to grab points made him intuitively judge that the ball would not fall to the middle, but would fall down at the front point.

If he still ran towards the middle, the ball might have been cleared by the central defender of Venlo, Brondler, who was defending the front point.

So, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly changed direction while running, shook off the No. 5 defender Floren who was defending him, and rushed diagonally to the corner of the small penalty area.

Floren's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to pull, but he only pulled the corner of Jiang Xiaolin's clothes, and Jiang Xiaolin broke free in an instant, and it was too late to chase him.

Brondler, who was defending at the front point, was facing Dembele on the wing, and didn't pay any attention to Jiang Xiaolin behind him.

He thought Jiang Xiaolin was in the middle and was defended by his teammates, and didn't expect Jiang Xiaolin to suddenly change direction to his side.

When he found that the ball was not flying high, he didn't need to jump to compete for the header, and he could directly stand and head the ball out of the penalty area to clear it. When he saw a player wearing the opponent's jersey appeared beside him, it was too late.

Jiang Xiaolin rushed over from behind Brondler, bypassed his body, and headed the ball in front of Brondler to meet Dembele's pass, heading the ball to the goal behind him.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin was pushed to the ground by Brondler who was eager to grab the ball, but it was no different. The ball had been headed out by Jiang Xiaolin.

The header at the corner of the small penalty area was actually not at a large angle, but the distance was relatively close. It was too late for the goalkeeper to observe the ball path and then save it. The key was the goalkeeper's position and subconscious reaction.

But Jiang Xiaolin's header was of high quality.

The key was that Floren, who was defending him in the middle, was thrown away by him, and Brondler, who was in a position to compete for the header, did not expect Jiang Xiaolin to suddenly appear and snatch the header that was supposed to be his, resulting in failure to react in time and interfere with Jiang Xiaolin's header.

By the time he pushed Jiang Xiaolin down, Jiang Xiaolin had already completed his header.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin's header was actually uninterrupted at the moment of hitting the ball.

Then, with his full header attribute, the quality of the ball was very high.High, it went straight to the goalkeeper's head.

Goalkeeper Bigols had already discovered Jiang Xiaolin's running position and Dembele's pass was not high enough and landed in front of the goal, and had already moved to the near end of the goal to defend.

But Jiang Xiaolin's ball was too sharp, close and powerful, so Bigols had no time to jump. He could only subconsciously swing his hand up based on his first feeling, and he didn't have time to fully exert his strength, and the jump height was not enough.

As a result, the ball flew into the goal from the gap above his palm and below the crossbar.

Alkmaar scored the equalizer with Jiang Xiaolin's header in the counterattack in the 22nd minute, and the score between the two sides became 1-1.

The commentator in the commentary booth instantly climaxed and stood up and shouted:

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"Goal, Jiang scored again!"

"It's incredible, it's so easy for Jiang to score in the Eredivisie!"

"This is Jiang's 13th goal in the Eredivisie, and he only used 8 games, and this 8th game is far from over!"

"Jiang's judgment of the landing point and his ability to run without the ball are really the best in the Eredivisie."

"In this attack, when Dembele passed the ball from the wing, Jiang Xiao Lin was originally in the middle, and the central defender Floren was defending him closely. "

"As a result, the moment Dembele passed the ball, Jiang Xiaolin determined the flight path and landing point of the ball, shook off Floren and rushed to the corner of the small penalty area. "

"Floren didn't react at all!"

"Blondler, who was originally in the front point and had a positional advantage, didn't expect Jiang Xiaolin to run from the back and head the ball away in front of him."

"This ball is a complete reflection of Jiang Xiaolin's personal ability. He is worthy of being the hottest super star in the Eredivisie at present."

"Jiang deserves any praise!"
