Chapter 21

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin shoot the ball into the goal with a powerful kick, and the main goalkeeper Didulica couldn't touch the ball, the players in the distance suddenly became interested and started to discuss.

"Wow..."

"This ball is well played!"

"It's powerful and the angle is tricky!"

"It's not Didulica's fault. It's hard for anyone to save it, unless they predict the direction of the opponent and save it in advance."

"Saving in advance is a gamble on luck. Who knows where he will hit it?"

...

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin's first shot was successful, Van Gaal and the coaching staff looked at each other and nodded secretly.

This ball really can't be blamed on Didulica. It's really that Jiang Xiaolin's shot was too powerful, the ball was very fast, and the angle was very tricky. It almost went into the goal at the bottom corner of the goal post. No wonder Didulica couldn't save it.

Just based on what this ball showed, Jiang Xiaolin is indeed qualified to enter Alkmaar.

However, a single goal is too accidental and not referenceable. Even amateur players can score a world-class goal.

So, we have to see how Jiang Xiaolin performs later.

Outside the penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ball go into the net, and secretly clenched his fist to encourage himself.

This was a good start, and Jiang Xiaolin's psychological pressure was reduced by more than half.

Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills were perfect. In the absence of a game and no one to interfere, this distance of shooting was natural for Jiang Xiaolin to shoot wherever he wanted.

Not to mention such a big goal, even if he was asked to kick the goalpost or the crossbar.

It is unknown whether Ronaldinho's performance of kicking the crossbar in the Nike advertisement was true or not, but Jiang Xiaolin was sure that he could really do it.

If he couldn't do this, it would be a waste of the full shooting attribute.

The only uncertainty is the performance of the goalkeeper.

But Jiang Xiaolin's excellent physical fitness made him full of strength, and the speed of his shots was very fast, which also reduced the time for the goalkeeper to respond calmly.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Didulica failed to save the first ball, misled by the previous training, unaware of Jiang Xiaolin's true strength, and caught off guard.

After Jiang Xiaolin scored the first goal, Didulica no longer dared to underestimate the opponent.

With such amateur dribbling, passing, and breakthrough skills, the person who was strongly recommended by Philip to the base for trial training was indeed special and should not be underestimated.

Didulica stood up again, his face serious, and he became more serious than ever.

Jiang Xiaolin was also ready to start kicking the second ball.

This time Didulica predicted and rushed to the bottom of the near corner in advance, just like saving a penalty kick.

As a result, he misjudged, and Jiang Xiaolin did not hit the direction he was rushing, but hit the far upper corner.

The ball flew past him and went into the far corner of the goal along the bottom edge of the crossbar.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin's second goal was scored again, the first-team players in the distance talked again, and some even applauded twice.

"Wow..."

"Great!"

"This shooting skill is really good!"

Van Gaal also nodded secretly. It seems that Philip did not lie. This Chinese boy is really good at shooting.

In front of the goal, Didulica stood up calmly without any emotional fluctuations.

After the first goal was scored, he knew that Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills were indeed superb, and it was not surprising that the second goal was scored.

However, through these two goals, Didulica discovered one thing, that is, Jiang Xiaolin almost had no fake moves. I don't know if he doesn't know how to do it or he doesn't care.

At the same time, the ball shot by Jiang Xiaolin did not have any arc, and there would be no situation where the ball turned and was missed.

No fake moves, no arc, and the shooting route is straight?

Didulica knew how to save.

For the third ball, Didulica continued to predict and save it in advance.

However, this time he did not predict it by feeling, but by Jiang Xiaolin's run-up route, kicking action, and touching the ball.

Sure enough, this time Didulica judged the direction correctly.

Jiang Xiaolin's third ball was at the bottom of the near corner, but Didulica fell to the ground in time and pushed the ball out of the baseline.

Jiang Xiaolin and Didulica's popularity is naturally incomparable.

Seeing Didulica save the ball that was heading straight for the dead corner, not only the players in the distance, but also the coaching staff applauded and said, "Beautiful save."

Jiang Xiaolin didn't expect all his balls to go in, he just had to make sure that all the balls hit the goal frame.

He didn't believe that Van Gaal would not be tempted by this ability to hit whatever he pointed at.

Next, Jiang Xiaolin kicked out 20 balls one after another.

After finding a way to save the ball, Didulica's saveThe success rate of saving is much higher.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin's shot without fake moves and straight back and forth, and it is the penalty area line instead of the penalty spot, it is much easier for Didulica to save.

Of course, he can't save all of Jiang Xiaolin's shots.

On the one hand, Jiang Xiaolin's shooting power is too great, the ball speed is very fast, and the reaction time left for him is relatively short.

On the other hand, the closer to the center, the shorter the shooting distance, and the larger the goal angle available to Jiang Xiaolin, the smaller the proportion of Didulica's saving range.

Finally, there is another point that Didulica is not a robot, and he can't make the most optimized save every time.

Sometimes the prediction and reaction time is 0.1 seconds slower, and the ball will pass in front of his hand.

But no matter what, Didulica is the team's main goalkeeper and has mastered the saving method.

Of the 20 balls, Didulica saved 11, and only Jiang Xiaolin scored 9, which is already a very good performance.

Everyone could see that, considering Jiang Xiaolin's shooting power and accuracy, it was not easy for Didulica to save more than half of them.

On the contrary, Jiang Xiaolin's performance almost surprised everyone in the audience.

In the previous training, everyone had even unanimously sentenced Jiang Xiaolin to death, thinking that with Jiang Xiaolin's skills, he was not qualified to enter Alkmaar's youth team, let alone the first team of Alkmaar.

When everyone discussed privately, they couldn't help but speak with contempt, ridicule and discrimination.

But after the 20-ball shooting training, no one dared to look down on Jiang Xiaolin anymore.

Although Jiang Xiaolin only scored 9 of his 20 shots, it seemed that he had not scored more than half, so there was nothing to be shocked about.

But in fact, Jiang Xiaolin's performance scared all the coaches and players on the field.

Apart from anything else, the data of 100% hitting the goal frame in 20 shots was enough to make people terrified.

Moreover, the 100% hit rate on the goal frame is not enough. This kind of data on paper does not reveal much. What everyone saw with their own eyes was that all the balls Jiang Xiaolin shot went straight to the four blind corners.

If Didulica had not been experienced and understood Jiang Xiaolin's shooting routine, he could have predicted and saved the ball in advance, he might not have been able to save a single ball.
