Chapter 202

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin head the ball into the goal, the Dutch TV commentator in the commentary booth shouted:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball is in!"

"It's Jiang again, and it's Jiang who scored again!"

"This is a corner kick attack by Alkmaar, and Jiang's powerful header smashed the goal of Roda JC!"

"After flying back and forth for half of the world, Jiang's condition has not declined too much. He still scored a goal as a substitute in this play-off."

"It's really terrifying!"

"Jiang's goal efficiency is still Alkmaar's sharpest weapon!"

"There is no doubt that Jiang is Alkmaar's most proud signing this season."

"Alkmaar has made a lot of money by signing Jiang. Van Gaal's vision is unparalleled! He is worthy of being a famous coach who is good at promoting and training young people!"

The score was tied, and there was another away goal. Alkmaar's situation suddenly became much smoother.

Even if the game ends with this score, the probability of Alkmaar advancing after returning to their home court is much greater than that of Roda JC.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin was not in a very good state in this game, but he still scored a goal.

After a few days of rest and returning to the home court, Jiang Xiaolin may be even more unstoppable for Roda JC.

Therefore, a draw in this first round of the play-offs is unacceptable to Roda JC.

So, after the game resumed, Roda JC launched a more fierce attack on Alkmaar.

In addition to strictly guarding Jiang Xiaolin, who posed the greatest threat and scored a goal, Roda JC even gave up on marking Hamdaoyi, allowing Hamdaoyi to get a chance to counterattack in the 84th minute and form a single shot.

Unfortunately, his single shot was saved by goalkeeper Castro when he entered the penalty area and faced the goalkeeper's shot, and he regrettably failed to score a goal.

In addition, Alkmaar's defense line withstood the attack of Roda JC and did not allow Roda JC to score until the end of the 4 minutes of stoppage time.

In particular, goalkeeper Sergio Romero fully demonstrated his goalkeeping ability, blocking several threatening shots of Roda JC.

After the 4 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Alkmaar tied Roda JC 1-1 away from home with a header from Jiang Xiaolin after he came on as a substitute, and took the lead in the first round of the two-round UEFA Cup play-offs.

However, Jiang Xiaolin's performance in this game was not very good, and he only received a system rating of "qualified performance" with a rating coefficient of 1.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin, who did not lead the team to win, finally only received a reward of 2,000 experience points for one goal, and the level experience increased to 18,700/200,000.

Perhaps Jiang Xiaolin's performance in the regular season of the Eredivisie was so amazing that he only scored one goal in this game, which was actually belittled by some Dutch media, saying that his state and goal-scoring ability declined.

This made fans who like Jiang Xiaolin very angry.

You know, Jiang Xiaolin played a game in Serbia in just a few days, then flew back to China, and then flew back to the Netherlands from China.

In this case, he only came on as a substitute during the halftime break, scored a goal in the second half, and helped Alkmaar escape from the away game unscathed. This is already very efficient, right?

However, this kind of media is only a minority, and most media still praised Jiang Xiaolin's performance.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin is the only one who scored a goal for Alkmaar. Without Jiang Xiaolin, Alkmaar would even lose.

Especially the Chinese media, they praised Jiang Xiaolin to the utmost, saying that Jiang Xiaolin was exhausted physically and mentally after a long flight, only rested for one day, but he was still able to score a goal as a substitute in the second half to turn the tide and bring Alkmaar back from the away game. It can be seen that Jiang Xiaolin's ability is really unparalleled.

Naturally, as the World Cup qualifiers approached, domestic media and fans began to discuss the news of recruiting Jiang Xiaolin to the national team.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin is only 16 years old. Before, everyone thought that Jiang Xiaolin was very good to be selected for the National Olympic Team.

Even in the National Olympic Team, the 16-year-old Jiang Xiaolin stood out from the crowd, because most of the other teammates were about 22 or 23 years old.

The 16-year-old Jiang Xiaolin was already like a giant panda in the National Olympic Team.

Now, after watching the live broadcast of Jiang Xiaolin's two friendly matches of the Olympic team, plus this Eredivisie UEFA Cup play-off match, Chinese media and fans feel that even though Jiang Xiaolin is only 16 years old, he is definitely qualified to join the national team and participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

However, by then some people in the national team will be around 30 years old, and the 16-year-old Jiang Xiaolin joining them may seem even more outlier.

Of course, the media and fans will not care so much, they just want the Chinese team to impact the World Cup finals, and Jiang Xiaolin is undoubtedly the player that everyone values ​​the most.

If Jiang Xiaolin can join the national team, the possibility of the Chinese team impacting the World Cup will undoubtedly be many times greater.

So, both the media and fans began to call on the national team to recruit Jiang Xiaolin.

Before the list was announced, the Football Committee would naturally not say for sure to recruit Jiang Xiaolin, even if it had been discussed privately.

Therefore, when the media interviewed and asked the Football Committee officials or Dujkovic, they all said that they would consider recruiting Jiang Xiaolin, but they did not use the affirmative form.

Even so, it made the media and fans happy enough.

Everyone is looking forward to Jiang Xiaolin being recruited into the national team to play in the World Cup qualifiers.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin, who is in the Netherlands at this time, will not think about such far-reaching things. He needs to adjust his physical condition to prepare for the second round of home game against Roda JC.

Because the next game is in three days, the time is tight. After the regular season, everyone has rested for a long time. After the first game, Van Gaal did not take a holiday and let everyone continue training.

It’s just that the training intensity on the first day after the game is not high, so that everyone can recover from the fatigue after the game.

After two days of daily training, Jiang Xiaolin’s condition has returned to normal.

In the team training match held in the afternoon of May 3, Jiang Xiaolin completed a hat trick in 60 minutes.

Although the intensity of the team training match is much lower, it is 30 minutes less after all.

Being able to complete a hat trick in 60 minutes has proved that Jiang Xiaolin’s condition has returned to normal. The whole team is full of confidence in the first round of the second round of the play-offs on May 4.
