Chapter 223

Although Jiang Xiaolin did not lead the team to victory in the match against Nijmegen, in fact, this match was only the first round of the final, and there was still the second round to play, so Alkmaar could not be said to have completely lost.

Secondly, both Alkmaar and Jiang Xiaolin encountered great difficulties in this match.

Whether it was an own goal or two serious misjudgments by the referee, as well as the defection of the striker Lens who was loaned out by his own team, it was a great test for Jiang Xiaolin and Alkmaar.

In such an extremely harsh and difficult situation, Jiang Xiaolin was still able to fight to the last minute and scored a groundbreaking long-range lob goal, helping Alkmaar narrow the gap to two goals, and retaining the hope of a reversal in the second round for Alkmaar.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaolin's amazing lob in the stoppage time also reversed the morale of Alkmaar players and fans.

In view of such performance and role, the system gave Jiang Xiaolin a "perfect" system rating for his performance in this game.

As a result, Jiang Xiaolin has a deeper understanding of the system rating function: the system's evaluation of his performance is not based on goals alone!

Afterwards, Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates interacted with nearly 2,000 Alkmaar fans who traveled with the team to the away game to express their gratitude.

In fact, judging from the score of Alkmaar's 2-4 loss to Nijmegen, Alkmaar was a complete failure and was not qualified for the away fans who traveled with the team to applaud the players.

However, everyone knows that the score of this game is behind, not the players' fault, but just because of bad luck and the referee's fucking.

If there were no own goals and two huge misjudgments by the referee, Alkmaar would have a greater chance of winning.

Even if they didn't win, at least they could get a draw away from home and get out of it unscathed.

Therefore, the fans did not blame everyone for losing the game at all, but kept applauding and cheering, encouraging the big players to cheer up and strive for victory in the second round.

Of course, the morale and performance of other players except Jiang Xiaolin in the second half were not very good, and the fans only gave them encouraging applause and cheers.

But for Jiang Xiaolin, who never gave up and was still fighting and scoring until the injury time, the fans' feelings were very different.

Jiang Xiaolin's performance really conquered the fans and made the fans admire him.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin naturally became the person in the team who received the most applause and cheers from the fans.

Everyone understands that if it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin, Alkmaar would be three goals behind Nijmegen and could almost be announced out of the final.

It was Jiang Xiaolin's spirit of not giving up and not giving up that made him score a stunning overhead shot in the injury time, keeping Alkmaar's hope of a reversal in the second round.

Such a performance can make the system give a "perfect performance" rating, which is naturally worthy of applause and cheers from all fans.

After celebrating with the fans for a while, all the players of Alkmaar returned to the locker room.

When passing through the player tunnel, some media reporters wanted to interview Jiang Xiaolin, Yarence and others to ask them about their views on the referee of this game.

But when the players were interacting with the fans just now, assistant coach Juncker told everyone not to accept interviews later, and the head coach Van Gaal would criticize the referee.

The players' task is to concentrate on the game and not be disturbed.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin and others hurried past the player tunnel, did not accept interviews, and went straight back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes.

Van Gaal will definitely express his opinions on what the media reporters want to ask at the post-match press conference.

Even if the reporters don't ask, Van Gaal will definitely criticize some of the referee's judgments in this game.

Therefore, seeing that no Alkmaar players are willing to be interviewed, the reporters did not bother too much.

Everyone rushed to the post-match press conference hall. They all knew that even if the players didn't say it, Van Gaal would definitely criticize the referee.

Sure enough, not long after the reporters arrived at the press conference hall, Van Gaal walked in and sat down on the chair on the podium.

Before the Nijmegen press officer could say anything, Van Gaal took the lead, picked up the microphone and started to speak.

The reporters were all excited at once, knowing that the big news they needed was about to begin.

Sure enough, Van Gaal took the microphone and started to criticize the referee team of this game:

"Thank you for all the media friends who are here and are ready to listen to my nonsense. I have some opinions on the referee team's enforcement of this game today."

"What I want to say is: Are you blind, referee and linesman of this game? "

Van Gaal paused when he said this, and the reporters in the audience suddenly climaxed collectively.

Sure enough, what Van Gaal said was too explosive. He actually greeted the referee and linesman directly at the post-match press conference and asked them if they were blind.

It is rare for the head coach to directly greet and insult the referee.

Because most people dare not offend the referee, fearing that the mouth will cause trouble. After you curse this time, what if other referees are targeting you in the next game?

Wouldn't that be actively putting your team in dire straits?

Because Therefore, many head coaches, after feeling that they were treated unfairly by the referee team, usually just complained and questioned.

It is really rare for Van Gaal to boldly ask the referee team if they are blind.

Although the game started at 20:00 tonight and it is already past 22:00, reporters can predict that the post-match storm of this game will explode tonight.

Then, Van Gaal on the rostrum continued:

"Today's away game, our luck was not very good. The first goal was an own goal. We have nothing to say about this. Bad luck is bad, and we can't blame others."

"But what happened when we lost the second goal? I think anyone with eyes can see clearly through the TV replay that it was Hemu who took the initiative to stretch his foot and hang his foot on Hector Moreno's foot and fell. He was clearly faking a fall and deliberately cheating for a penalty."

"I was standing on the sidelines, so far away, I could see it clearly. The referee was so close, couldn't he see it? ”

“So I said the referee was blind, not without basis.”

“Of course, sometimes we make misjudgments on the football field, which is inevitable. This is part of football.”

“If it was just one misjudgment, I wouldn’t be so angry, and I wouldn’t say the referee was blind.”

“The reason I said the referee and the linesman were blind was because they misjudged Jiang Xiaolin for the second time.”

“Jiang Xiaolin successfully countered the offside and scored a one-on-one goal, but they actually said that Jiang Xiaolin was offside and blew it out.”

“Two major misjudgments in one game, which directly affected the score, I don’t know what the reason is for such referees, except that they are blind.”

“I suggest that the Football Association provide medical examinations to the referee team members who enforced today’s game, let them see an ophthalmologist, and treat the blind eyes before enforcing football games. "

Van Gaal vented his anger, which made the reporters so excited that they could not help themselves and recorded Van Gaal's speech.

After Van Gaal finished his talk, the reporters began to raise their hands to ask questions, hoping to get more explosive news from Van Gaal.

Basically, Van Gaal answered every question with anger.

The reporters became more and more excited as they listened. There were too many explosive points in today's game.

In addition to the referee's misjudgment, the reporters also asked Van Gaal about Jiang Xiaolin's last super long-range lob.

Van Gaal naturally praised this goal.

Van Gaal said that he did not expect that Jiang Xiaolin could score such a super long-range lob over 70 meters after entering the stoppage time.

Therefore, he thought Jiang Xiaolin's performance today was very outstanding.

If it were not for the referee's misjudgment, Jiang Xiaolin would have performed a hat trick today.

This should be a perfect away game for Jiang Xiaolin , but was ruined by the referee's blind misjudgment.

While Van Gaal was answering reporters' questions, Nijmegen's head coach and their captain also walked into the press conference room and sat on the podium.

However, embarrassingly, the media reporters in the hall basically ignored them and continued to catch Van Gaal to ask questions, trying to squeeze out more news.

And the answers Van Gaal gave basically pointed out that Nijmegen's victory was not glorious, and it was won by the blindness and misjudgment of the referee team.

Van Gaal said that in the second round back at Alkmaar's home, Alkmaar would definitely reverse the situation and defeat Nijmegen to qualify for the UEFA Cup next season.

Everyone can see the referee's misjudgment, even the Nijmegen head coach and captain have nothing to say about it.

Of course, from their perspective, they are the beneficiaries, so they can't blame the referee.

They just told the reporters that they couldn't judge whether the referee's penalty was correct or not. Anyway, the game was over, and they had to concentrate on preparing for the game.The second round of the game, that's all.

Van Gaal scoffed at this, saying that Nijmegen's victory by the referee's biased whistle and misjudgment was not glorious, nor was it a real advantage.

The difference of two goals, when Alkmaar returns to their home court in the second round, will definitely make Nijmegen realize the real strength gap between the two teams.

Nijmegen's head coach laughed at Van Gaal for not being able to afford to lose and blaming the referee for losing the game.

You know, they are the ones leading now, and they are not leading by one goal, but by two goals.
