Chapter 213

Ragnar Klavan really didn't notice Romero's displacement behind him. He just wanted to rush up to intercept the ball or clear it out based on his instinct.

At the moment he rushed out, he didn't think about what would happen if he touched the low-altitude cross but didn't clear it out.

So, under the stunned gaze of countless Alkmaar players, fans, and coaches, Lens's cross from the side was touched by Klavan in the air with his toes when he was ready to clear the ball at the front point, and then it changed direction and bounced into the goal at the front point.

Romero, who was standing in the small penalty area in the middle and ready to receive the ball, was caught off guard and couldn't even make a move. He watched the ball fly into the goal he was guarding in front of him.

"Wow..."

The entire De Gufot Stadium was boiling. All the Nijmegen fans stood up, clapping, cheering, and celebrating crazily. Some people kept shouting Lens' name and cheered loudly for the own goal he created.

This goal will naturally not be counted under the name of Lens, but will be counted as an own goal by Ragnar Klavan.

But it was Lens who created this own goal.

There is no doubt that this goal is the credit of Lens.

He first cooperated with his teammates on the wing to pass Dembele, then used a wonderful bicycle kick fake to pass Pocognoli, and finally used a low pass to force Klavan to make a wrong defense, resulting in an own goal.

Therefore, the players and fans of Nijmegen naturally recorded this goal under the name of Lens.

The fans cheered his name loudly, and the players all rushed up, pressing Lens under them for a crazy celebration.

They were not only celebrating this goal, but also showing the Alkmaar players and fans their relationship with Lens and their love for Lens.

Sure enough, even though they knew the opponent's purpose, the away fans of Alkmaar still booed and cursed Lens when they saw Lens' active performance, which led to Klavan's own goal.

Coach Van Gaal on the sidelines also looked very bad.

Lens' performance and what the Nijmegen players and fans did were just like stepping on his face with the soles of their shoes!

Van Gaal felt very upset.

But he couldn't blame Klavan.

He tried desperately to clear the ball, and no one wanted an own goal. Klavan was already feeling guilty at this time. If he blamed him again, wouldn't it be a serious blow to the players' confidence?

Should the players not fight for the opponent's pass in the future and let the opponent's players take the shot?

It's impossible!

The same is true for Lens.

Although Van Gaal was very annoyed by Lens' active performance against his parent team, he couldn't show it either.

Although Lens was loaned to Nijmegen, as a professional player, since Lens is currently playing for Nijmegen, is it wrong to show the best professionalism and play for Nijmegen? Can it be blamed?

No!

No matter what Van Gaal thinks in his heart, if a reporter asks him, he has to praise Lens on the surface: Lens performed very well and has a strong professional spirit.

Therefore, Van Gaal can only hold a sullen anger in his chest and cannot vent it. He seems to be standing quietly on the sidelines, but in fact, he is already very angry in his heart.

On the court, in the crazy celebration of Nijmegen players, Alkmaar's players also went up one by one to hug and comfort the frustrated Ragnar Klavan.

Everyone was just depressed for a while, but no one blamed him.

After all, his original intention was to clear the siege, not to deliberately make an own goal.

Nijmegen's celebration lasted for more than half a minute. Captain Jariens protested to the referee. Only then did they stop celebrating under the referee's intervention and return to their own half, waiting for Alkmaar to kick off again.

After the game resumed, Nijmegen, who played at home, was in an overall advantage.

Jiang Xiaolin tried to use his fried meatballs, which had been fully charged, to make a long-distance attack that passed several people like in the last game.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

The most he did was to pass two people, and then the third person saw the opportunity and poked the ball away in advance.

It seems that the long-distance attack that passed several people in the last game did have a lot of luck.

In addition to dribbling the ball himself, Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates also played a team counterattack. In the 25th minute, the side forward Schals made a cross from the bottom, and Jiang Xiaolin headed the ball in the middle.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaolin was pulled by Nijmegen's No. 6 center back Patrick and lost his balance. He didn't hit the ball correctly and it flew over the crossbar, missing a good chance to score.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin fell from the air.He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates naturally protested to the referee, saying that Patrick's pulling was a foul, but the referee ignored it.

Everyone could see that the referee was a bit biased.

But this was Nijmegen's home court, and there was nothing the referee could do if he wanted to. As long as it was not too blatant black whistle, Alkmaar had no way to deal with it.

Jiang Xiaolin could only get up helplessly and continue the game.

At that time, no one expected that the referee's biased whistle in this game would be so serious, and it was too biased for Nijmegen, who was playing at home.

In the 33rd minute, Nijmegen's attack, No. 16 midfielder Davis broke through David Mendes' defense in the frontcourt, and faced the central defender Ragnar Klavan. He did not force a breakthrough again, but passed the ball to the left corner of the penalty area.

Nijmegen's No. 9 striker Hemu received the pass from Davis outside the penalty area, and then he broke through the full-back Yarence and successfully entered the penalty area.

After entering the penalty area, Hemu faced the central defender Hector Moreno, who blocked Hemu's shooting route and prevented him from shooting.

Therefore, Hemu first pretended to dribble the ball to break through the bottom line, allowing Moreno to move his position.

As a result, Hemu's action was a fake move, and his real intention was to break through the middle.

After shaking off a gap with a spike, Hemu pretended to break through the middle.

Moreno, who was shaken by Hemu, had no time to think, and turned over and shoveled the ball under Hemu's feet.

But Hemu was faster than him, and kicked the ball out with his toes, and then Moreno's foot came to his feet.

After kicking the ball, Hemu did not dodge, but hooked his foot on Moreno's foot, and then fell forward exaggeratedly, accompanied by a huge and painful scream.
