Chapter 218

The second half of the game was deadlocked until the 70th minute, and then the situation finally changed.

Generally speaking, when a football game reaches about 70 minutes, the physical fitness of the players on the field will reach a critical point.

At this time, the physical fitness of the players on both sides has dropped a lot, most of the players will run less, their movements will be deformed, their mistakes will increase, and there will be more chaos on the field.

Specifically for this game, because Alkmaar has been on the defensive side in the second half, it seems much more passive, and the overall physical energy consumption is much greater than that of the players of Nijmegen.

Therefore, after 70 minutes, the players of Alkmaar seem very tired and their defensive ability begins to decline.

On the Nijmegen side, although many players have also declined a lot in physical fitness, the striker Lens still seems to be full of energy.

Because he was full of fighting spirit throughout the game.

He is a player loaned out by Alkmaar. He wants to prove his ability to his parent team in such a face-to-face game, and prove that Alkmaar was wrong to loan him out in the first place.

Therefore, when most people in the stadium were physically exhausted and running less, he was still actively running.

In the 72nd minute, it was Lens's active counter-attack in the frontcourt that created an opportunity for Nijmegen.

Originally, this was a failed attack by Nijmegen, because Hem forced a breakthrough with the ball and was intercepted by Alkmaar's central defender Klavan, and then passed the ball to the substitute No. 25 central defender Moisander before Hem counter-attacked.

Lens, who was not far from Moisander, immediately rushed over, ready to counter-attack or interfere.

Originally, if Moisander handled it decisively, whether it was a long kick to the frontcourt or a pass to a teammate on the wing, he would not give Lens a chance to get close.

As a result, Moisander was still inexperienced and hesitated for a while, probably wanting to move Lens closer before passing the ball, so that his teammates could get more room for movement.

Who would have thought that Lens was too fast, and Moisander hesitated for a while, and Lens got much closer, which immediately scared Moisander.

Moisander, who was startled, made another mistake in handling the ball. He did not pass the ball to his teammates on the wing, but hurriedly prepared to kick the ball to the front court with a big foot to counterattack Jiang Xiaolin.

Then, just as he kicked the ball out, Lens, who was very close to him, jumped up and blocked the hole with his back.

In fact, Lens just flew to block it as a routine, but he did not expect that it would be so coincidental that Moisander's big foot just kicked Lens on the head.

Although Lens was stunned by the hit, he fell to the ground without standing firmly after falling from the air.

However, the ball that hit his head flew out horizontally and landed at the feet of Nijmegen midfielder Davis who came in from behind.

Davis did not waste this sudden flying opportunity. He stopped the ball directly at the top of the penalty area with his chest, and then volleyed the ball towards the goal.

The quality of this volley was also quite high. Goalkeeper Romero could not save it and had surrendered.

Unexpectedly, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area.

Suddenly, several players from both sides rushed over and fought for the ball in the penalty area.

At this time, Lens, who had just actively run to counter-rob, blocked Moisander's big foot and involuntarily headed the ball to his teammate Davis, had already climbed up and rushed into the penalty area.

However, before he rushed to the center of the scramble near the penalty spot, the ball was suddenly kicked out by someone and rolled to the rib of the penalty area in front of Lens.

Lens' eyes lit up, and he didn't even need to adjust. He ran and shot the ball directly without stopping, and shot the ball back to Alkmaar's goal.

The ball penetrated the crowded penalty area like a sharp arrow, and flew towards Alkmaar's near goal along the grass.

Sergio Romero was blocked by the crowd for a short time, but it was fatal.

Romero missed the ball by a hair's breadth.

The ball shot by Lens flew into the goal from the gap between Romero's palm and the goal post.

In the 72nd minute, Lens first won a shooting opportunity for his team with his active fight.

Then, when the shot was blocked by the crossbar and a melee broke out in the penalty area, Lens rushed in again and volleyed the ball hard, kicking it into the goal of Alkmaar.

With this goal by Lens, Nijmegen took a 3-1 lead at home.

Lens, who scored the goal, was so excited that he rushed to the sidelines with his arms waving and celebrated with a bomber-like dive, sliding on the grass.It's not a short distance.

The fans of Nijmegen were also quite respectful. They clapped, cheered, screamed, and roared crazily in the stands. Many people shouted Lens' name and worshiped him.

Later, more and more people shouted Lens' name, and finally it resounded throughout the stadium.

Obviously, this was the fans of Nijmegen trying to sow discord between Lens and his parent club.

In addition to the fans, all the players of Nijmegen also ran up. On the one hand, it was indeed worth celebrating. On the other hand, they had the same mentality as the fans, to sow discord between Lens and his parent club, so that the Alkmaar club and fans would hate Lens to the bone and sell him to Nijmegen.

But Lens was sold on this.

He didn't care what his parent club thought of him.

He believed that if he was not strong enough, no matter how much he loved Alkmaar, his parent club would not want him, just like they cleared him out of the team like stinky dog ​​shit and loaned him to Nijmegen last summer.

On the contrary, if he was strong and could conquer the city for the team, he would not be afraid of anything. Even if Alkmaar didn't want him, he wasn't afraid of having nothing to eat.

If I'm not welcome here, I'll find another place to welcome me. This is Lens's mentality at this time.

He no longer has any feelings for his mother team Alkmaar, and just wants to vent.

Being able to score a goal and break Alkmaar's goal himself stimulated his emotions to the peak, so it's no wonder that he celebrated wildly.

On the other hand, Alkmaar's morale was very low.

The first goal lost in the first half was an own goal, and the second goal was a penalty kick misjudged by the referee.

Now, the third goal was a lucky counter-attack by Lens in the front court to block Moisander's big foot, and Lens kicked the ball into the goal in the chaos, losing the third goal.

In addition, the referee team's inexplicable whistle blew away all the goals that Jiang Xiaolin had already scored. It can be said that Alkmaar's luck today was extremely bad.

In this case, how can the morale of Alkmaar's players be boosted?
