Chapter 159

Jiang Xiaolin had no choice because his teammates were not motivated.

He wanted to break through the defense of the SBV elite by himself, but he only knew the skill of deep-fried meatballs. From the last game to this game, the opponent had basically realized that Jiang Xiaolin only knew this skill.

In addition, Jiang Xiaolin's deep-fried meatballs attribute was only 16 points, which was not very high. It was not very sudden and perfect, so it was difficult for the opponent to break through if he was mentally prepared.

No matter what he did, Jiang Xiaolin might only break through once after doing the deep-fried meatballs action 5 times.

This was because Jiang Xiaolin had a strong physical fitness, otherwise he would not be able to get through even once.

This was naturally abnormal for a 16-point attribute, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made Jiang Xiaolin only know this one trick?

If you know a few more tricks and use them alternately, the opponent will not know how you will break through him, and will not be able to prevent it in advance, and the success rate will be much higher.

He failed to break through, and his teammates were not very motivated. Most of them huddled behind to defend and did not have much desire to counterattack, so Jiang Xiaolin could not get support and did not get a chance to counterattack for a long time.

On the contrary, SBV Elite attacked desperately under the survival pressure of relegation, and got some good shooting opportunities.

But the striker of the Elite team was not strong enough. Even with several good shooting opportunities, he failed to score.

Either the ball flew off the target or the angle was not strong enough, and Romero easily confiscated it.

Until the end of the first half, the Elite team failed to equalize the score.

During the halftime break, probably realizing the mentality of the players on the field, Van Gaal replaced Hamdaoyi with the third striker Wienblum, No. 16, and replaced Stein Schars with the right midfielder Elm, No. 20.

Wienblum and Elm are both bench players who often enter the game list but rarely get substitute opportunities. They will not have low morale.

For them, every appearance is an opportunity for them to perform.

Only by showing better performance in the limited playing time can they get more playing time.

Therefore, after Weinblum and Elm came on the court, they were very motivated and ran back and forth and passed and cut actively.

With Simon Poulsen, the left midfielder who was also a rare starter, Jiang Xiaolin finally had more support around him, which put more pressure on SBV Elite.

However, these teammates did not cooperate with Jiang Xiaolin often after all. High enthusiasm alone did not play a big role, and it was difficult for them to cooperate with Jiang Xiaolin.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin's team cooperation was full, it was difficult to make up for the ideological gap between Elm and others.

So, when Jiang Xiaolin failed to score the second goal, SBV Elite made a beautiful attack in the 57th minute and passed the ball into Alkmaar's penalty area.

Elite forward Yun Kudila rushed into the penalty area and shoveled the ball into the Alkmaar goal before Hector Moreno cleared it.

The distance was too close, even Romero had no way to stop it.

The players of the Elite team who equalized the score celebrated wildly, and more than 4,000 home fans in the stands were ecstatic, cheering and screaming for the goal with all their might.

They seemed to see the possibility of a reversal and winning all three points.

If they get three points in this game and other relegation opponents fail to win, the Elite team still has the possibility of winning the last round and staying in the league.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the Elite team, from players to fans, are ecstatic, as if they have come alive.

But the situation in the next game did not make their dreams come true.

Alkmaar's backcourt players had no fighting spirit when the team was leading, but now that the score has been equalized, they may be reversed, which is unacceptable to them.

In recent games, Alkmaar has not lost a game!

We can't break the unbeaten record against the last-placed SBV Elite Team.

Therefore, Alkmaar's defense was as stable as ever, but the offense was much sharper.

Because the two full-backs and the defensive midfielder began to assist in turn to provide support to the frontcourt.

In the 73rd minute, the second goal that the Chinese reporters had been waiting for finally appeared.

However, it was not Jiang Xiaolin who took the first shot this time.

This attack was due to the counter-attack by the right forward Elm on the wing. After the counter-attack was successful, he passed the ball to Maarten Martens in the middle.

After Martens broke through a midfielder of the Elite Team, he saw that Jiang Xiaolin was being closely guarded by two defenders of the Elite Team, so he passed the ballTo another striker, Weinbloom, who was not guarded.

After Martens passed the ball, the Elite team panicked and a defender ran over to defend Weinbloom.

But Weinbloom naturally couldn't wait for the opponent to get close before shooting.

Before the defender blocked the shooting angle, Weinbloom took a long shot outside the penalty area.

After Weinbloom took the shot, everyone's attention was involuntarily attracted by the flying ball, including the defender who was still defending Jiang Xiaolin.

Everyone wanted to see whether Weinbloom's shot would score a goal at the first time.

The players and fans of Alkmaar were nervous and hoped that the ball would go in, while the players and fans of SBV Elite hoped that the ball would not go in.

It was natural for everyone to be attracted by the shot, and most people couldn't escape.

However, only Jiang Xiaolin quietly bypassed the defender who had just blocked his position and prevented him from rushing into the penalty area, and ran into the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin's high-value scoring and off-ball running attributes made him intuitively know that Wienblum's ball might not score.

Moreover, the position where he ran was also the most likely place for the ball to bounce back.

This is the power of high-value scoring and off-ball running.

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of countless people at the scene and in front of the TV, Wienblum's long shot from outside the penalty area bypassed the goalkeeper's save, but hit the post and bounced back into the small penalty area.

Just when the fans of SBV Elite breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they had escaped a disaster, they saw a player wearing an Alkmaar jersey appear in the small penalty area, gently raised his foot and pushed the ball into the empty goal of the Elite team after the goalkeeper had fallen to the ground.

Everyone saw that it was Alkmaar's No. 29 player: Jiang Xiaolin!

Jiang Xiaolin scored his second goal of the game with a follow-up shot, completing his brace and helping Alkmaar take the lead again. The score between the two sides became 1-2, with the visiting team Alkmaar taking the lead.
