Chapter 201

After Hamdaoyi attracted some defensive pressure for Jiang Xiaolin, Jiang Xiaolin completed his first shot after coming on the field in the 58th minute.

This was a counterattack after Alkmaar intercepted the ball in the backcourt.

Left midfielder Moussa Dembele successfully intercepted the ball while helping to defend in the backcourt, and then passed it to midfielder David Mendes, who passed it to Stein Schars on the right.

Schars dribbled forward on the right, and when he was intercepted, he made a two-on-one match with midfielder Maarten Martens, and then made a cross from the bottom.

However, the quality of this pass was not high, the height was not enough and it was a little outside, and it was far from the goal. Jiang Xiaolin's head was not strong enough, and the goalkeeper of Roda JC was ready to jump and intercept his header.

So Jiang Xiaolin adjusted his position and volleyed.

This is a method that Jiang Xiaolin rarely uses, after all, he has not yet developed the skill of volleying.

However, Jiang Xiaolin's shooting ability would not be bad even if he did not activate the volley skill due to the full value of the shooting attribute.

Therefore, the quality of Jiang Xiaolin's volley was quite good, and it went directly in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper's save, and it was also powerful and fast.

The goalkeeper who chose the wrong position surrendered, but unfortunately when the ball passed the small penalty area line, another defender who was defending Hamdaoyi rushed over in time and intercepted the ball, and then was kicked out of the sideline by another defender.

Although the volley from the sideline did not go in, more than 3,000 Alkmaar away fans still gave excited applause and screams.

Regardless of whether it went in or not, Jiang Xiaolin finally started shooting.

And judging from the quality of this volley, Jiang Xiaolin's strength is still there, and he will not stop shooting because of poor condition.

Everyone still has great expectations.

However, in the next game, Jiang Xiaolin did not perform well.

On the football field, sometimes the state is a very wonderful thing.

You can't measure it specifically, but it really exists.

Flying from the Netherlands to Serbia, playing two national Olympic games in Serbia, and then flying back to China, then flying from Beijing to Qianyang, and taking a long-distance bus from Qianyang to Chacheng County.

At home, Jiang Xiaolin did not get a good rest. Buying a house, participating in the friendly match of his alma mater, attending family gatherings, etc., Jiang Xiaolin did not get the opportunity to sleep in.

After all, it is not easy for Jiang Xiaolin to go back now.

Later, there was another long-distance bus, Qianyang to Beijing, Beijing to Amsterdam, and Amsterdam to take a bus back to Alkmaar.

Despite a day and two nights of rest, today's game is an away game.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin has good physical strength and physique, it is only on the physical level.

Mentally, Jiang Xiaolin's fatigue is something that cannot be helped by full physical strength and physique.

Therefore, sometimes Jiang Xiaolin seemed to be a little slower than usual, and then missed a good opportunity.

This made Van Gaal on the sidelines and the players on the field a little anxious.

But no matter how anxious they were, the game had to continue.

Although Jiang Xiaolin was occasionally in poor condition and a little slow to react, in general, Jiang Xiaolin's appearance was still a much greater threat to Roda JC than Ali and Hamdaoyi.

Not to mention the real threat, Jiang Xiaolin's deterrence alone made Roda JC's backcourt players dare not easily leave their posts and assist.

It was precisely because of this that Roda JC failed to score a goal in the second half and took the opportunity to expand the score.

And Alkmaar finally got another corner kick in the 79th minute.

This corner kick was Alkmaar's positional attack. Jiang Xiaolin was unable to complete the turn and shot after receiving Hamdaoyi's pass in the penalty area, so he passed the ball to the attacking midfielder Martens who came in from behind.

Martens made a long shot from the penalty area line, but unfortunately the angle was slightly right, so goalkeeper Castro saved it from the bottom line, giving Alkmaar a chance for a corner kick.

In the mobile game, Jiang Xiaolin's sensitivity was much lower than in the previous games due to his state. On the contrary, it was the corner kick that allowed Jiang Xiaolin to gain more advantages.

After all, he had just added a little more physique before he came on the court, directly adding it to the full value of 20.

With such a physique, few people on the court can hit him.

In addition to his height, weight, and balance, even if the opponent stretched out his hand to pull him, he might not be able to pull him.

This gave Jiang Xiaolin a greater advantage in the penalty area when competing for headers than in mobile games.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin made a gesture without hesitation, asking Martens, who was taking the penalty kick, to kick him on the head.

Martens said he understood.

He didn't care about Roda JC's ball.Whether the players knew the secret signal between Jiang Xiaolin and Martens, after the referee indicated that the penalty kick could be taken, Martens took the corner kick and headed straight to the penalty spot in the penalty area.

The penalty area was immediately in chaos, with players from both sides pushing and shoving each other, all trying to head the ball.

Of course, other places gave up after a bit of pushing and shoving, because they found that the ball was not landing on their heads.

The situation near the penalty spot was different.

The two players defending Jiang Xiaolin had already discovered that the ball was landing right here.

As a result, before they could grab a position, they found that Jiang Xiaolin had already occupied the position where the ball landed, and it was impossible for them to compete for the first point.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-value grab and off-ball running skills allowed him to find the ball landing point before the opponent and occupy the position.

The two Roda JC defenders who lost the opportunity to grab the first point could only take a destructive approach, pulling and pushing Jiang Xiaolin in the direction of the referee.

Although Jiang Xiaolin's body was shaking, he remained standing.

Even though the ball in the air had entered the penalty area and Jiang Xiaolin had already jumped, a defender also jumped up and hit Jiang Xiaolin, but he failed to knock Jiang Xiaolin off his feet.

Jiang Xiaolin's full physique and balance ability showed their value at this time: an ordinary defender on the other side couldn't even knock Jiang Xiaolin off his feet.

In other words, the other side couldn't even commit a foul.

Jiang Xiaolin was in the air, and he also stabilized his body. He headed the ball towards the far corner of the diagonal line.

Goalkeeper Castro, who rushed to the near end, changed his face, and when he wanted to turn around and rush back, it was too late.

Under the desperate gaze of all the players and fans of Roda JC, the ball easily avoided the goalkeeper's ten fingers and fell into the goal.

In the 79th minute of the second half, Jiang Xiaolin finally got the first point in the corner kick attack and equalized the score for Alkmaar, and the score between the two sides became 1-1.

Martens, Hamdaoyi and other teammates immediately rushed over to surround Jiang Xiaolin and celebrated wildly, and more than 3,000 Alkmaar fans in the stands also gave crazy applause and screams.

Even coach Van Gaal jumped up on the sidelines.

This goal was really good and timely.

Jiang Xiaolin played for more than 30 minutes in the second half. When everyone thought that Jiang Xiaolin was in poor condition and could not score a goal to equalize the score for Alkmaar, Jiang Xiaolin finally scored a goal.
