Chapter 169

Although Jiang Xiaolin scored a hat trick to help the National Olympic Team lead the Belgrade Regional Selection Team 3-0, the players of the selection team were not discouraged.

Although Jiang Xiaolin is a Chinese and plays in the Dutch Eredivisie, it seems that he has nothing to do with Serbia, but because Jiang Xiaolin has scored so many goals in recent league games, even the Serbian sports media have reprinted reports.

Therefore, the players of the selection team know Jiang Xiaolin. Even if they don’t know, they will be popularized by their teammates.

So everyone understands that Jiang Xiaolin, who can constantly perform hat tricks in the Dutch Eredivisie, is not strange at all for them to perform hat tricks against these Serbian second-level players and youth training players. No one is surprised.

What’s more, they were originally a temporary ragtag army, and their purpose was not to defeat the Chinese National Olympic Team, but to impress the scouts and coaches of the Red Star Team and the Guerrilla Team on the sidelines with their personal performance.

No matter how many goals they lose, as long as they have an outstanding performance, they may be favored by the two giants.

Even the goalkeeper was not discouraged by losing three goals. Even the goalkeepers of the Dutch Eredivisie couldn't save Jiang Xiaolin's shot, let alone him?

Therefore, after the game resumed, the players of the selection team still bravely pressed forward and did not retreat because of Jiang Xiaolin's consecutive goals.

In fact, in the previous games, the selection team had already created many threats, and the number of threats to the goal can be said to be more than that of the Chinese Olympic team.

It's just that their finishing skills are too poor, which is completely inferior to Jiang Xiaolin's efficiency. They can only hit the goal frame a few times, which led to no goals.

But if you shoot more times, you will always hit a good ball that the goalkeeper can't save.

In the 66th minute, the selection team got a chance for a throw-in in the frontcourt. The player who threw the throw-in directly threw the ball to the corner of the near-end penalty area.

Then, the selection team player with his back to the goal resisted the push of the Olympic team full-back Tan Wangsong behind him and made a wonderful lob pass.

The ball flew over his and Tan Wangsong's heads, and then he turned quickly and passed by Tan Wangsong.

Tan Wangsong was caught off guard and was successfully dribbled past by his opponent and entered the penalty area.

After the opponent entered the penalty area, Tan Wangsong did not dare to commit a foul from behind, fearing that he would be awarded a penalty kick, so he could only pull behind him, hoping to interfere with the opponent.

But after the player from the selection team completed the dribbling past the opponent, in addition to Tan Wangsong pulling behind him, there was also a defender between him and the goal blocking the ball path, and the goalkeeper Zeng Cheng was ready to save the shot at the near end.

Therefore, he did not kick the ball directly at all, but pushed the ball to the other side of the penalty area in the narrow penalty area.

This pass was very exquisite, and none of the Chinese players in the penalty area could touch it.

The forward of the selection team rushed in from the other side of the penalty area to meet the pass of his teammate, and pushed the ball behind the goal and scored the goal.

Zeng Cheng, who rushed from the front point to the back point in a hurry, failed to stop the goal and could only watch the ball go into the net.

The Belgrade regional selection team finally scored a goal and got back one point. The score between the two sides was 3-1, and the lead of the Chinese Olympic team was reduced to two goals.

The players of the selection team finally breathed a sigh of relief and celebrated for a long time.

Although it was just a friendly match, in fact, this friendly match meant much more to them than to the Chinese Olympic team.

After Jiang Xiaolin scored three goals alone, they were actually a little frustrated.

Because their personal skills and physical fitness were better than most people in the Chinese Olympic team, they were far behind because they did not have a super shooter like Jiang Xiaolin.

Now, they finally scored a goal and could prove to the Red Star team and the Guerrilla scout coaches on the sidelines that they also had real skills.

Among them, the out-of-bounds thrower, assist player, and goal scorer who directly contributed to this goal were the happiest.

After this goal, the players of the selection team played more confidently and methodically, and there was a lot of cooperation. They no longer relied on individual skills to break through the defense of the Chinese team as they did at the beginning of the game.

When these players of the selection team, whose skills and physical fitness were originally stronger than those of the Chinese Olympic team, began to cooperate, the offensive threat of the selection team became even greater.

In the 74th minute, the selection team launched another threatening attack, passing the ball into the penalty area, and a forward of the selection team received the ball in the gap and shot less than 10 meters away from the goal.

Unexpectedly, this shot was kicked over the crossbar by him, and even he himself couldn't believe it and looked at the ball flying out of bounds with his head in his hands, looking frustrated.

It can be said that the Belgrade regional selection team can do everything except the finishing touch.Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills.

Afterwards, the selection team created several threats, but failed to score.

On the other hand, the Olympic team, after Jiang Xiaolin performed a hat trick and attracted the attention of most of the defense of the selection team, in the 88th minute, forward Wang Yongbai assisted Han Peng to score the fourth goal of the Olympic team.

This was the last goal of this friendly match.

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

In the end, the Chinese Olympic team won 4-1 in the first friendly match against the Belgrade regional selection team, but 3 of the goals were scored by Jiang Xiaolin.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin's three goals, the Olympic team would have only tied 1-1 with this temporary ragtag army.

Moreover, if it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin's threat to pin down some of the players on the opponent's defense line, so that they dared not press on to assist, the Olympic team might even lose.

From the overall situation, the Olympic team is at a disadvantage. If Jiang Xiaolin's shooting rate hadn't crushed his opponents, it would have been hard to say what the result would have been.

But no matter what, the game was won after all.

After eight consecutive defeats against European teams, Dujkovic's Olympic team finally won once, and it was a 4-1 victory, which was worth celebrating anyway.

Whether it was the coaching staff, players, fans, or reporters, they all had happy smiles on their faces.

Jiang Xiaolin also felt okay.

In the final stage of the game, his teammates had begun to adapt to his faster and more erratic running. I believe that with the increase in training and games, everyone's cooperation will be more tacit in the future, and his overall improvement in the Olympic team's offense will be even greater.

The only thing that surprised Jiang Xiaolin was that he thought today's game would be counted as training and there would be no separate experience rewards. As a result, he didn't expect that the system would issue double experience rewards after the game, including rewards for daily training with the team today and rewards for this friendly match.
