Chapter 273

Seeing that the Chinese team scored again, the New Zealand players, fans and coaches had no expression or fluctuation.

Everyone had already anticipated that the Chinese team would continue to score goals. Strengthening defense was just to lose fewer balls and try not to lose more than double digits.

The game continued.

Even though it was 0-5 behind, New Zealand did not use the opportunity of kicking off in the center circle to launch an attack, but tried to pass back to delay time. In the end, Jiang Xiaolin and other front players of the Chinese team were forced to stop and finally started to pass the ball forward.

Of course, as expected, the ball was lost as soon as it was passed to the midfield.

The Chinese team's back line, which was in full on-site status, was perfect both in terms of individual performance and collective positioning.

I dare not say that it can block the attacks of teams of the same level as Brazil and Spain, but it is no problem to block the attacks of New Zealand teams of the same level in most cases.

After grabbing the ball, it was the situation where the Chinese team pressed New Zealand and New Zealand could only passively defend under the bombardment of the Chinese team, without any resistance.

In the 24th minute, Cui Peng made a cross from the sideline, and Jiang Xiaolin still jumped high and grabbed the first header despite the pressure from two central defenders.

However, Jiang Xiaolin failed to head the ball well due to the interference of the opponent's defenders, and the ball went slightly above the crossbar.

In the 26th minute, Jiang Xiaolin pulled the two defenders away, and Hao Junmin took the opportunity to cut inside from the sideline and received Wang Yongbai's pass. He entered the penalty area and shot, but was intercepted by New Zealand midfielder Peverley, who shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

Otherwise, Hao Junmin's shot might have been a threat again.

Although the New Zealand team's entire defense was shrunk, the Chinese team's offensive efficiency dropped a lot.

But the Chinese team's continuous attack still put a lot of pressure on the New Zealand players, and they finally made a mistake in the 29th minute.

Jiang Xiaolin ran into a fleeting gap in the penalty area, but Wang Yongbo, who was in full form, still found and seized this opportunity. He made a slight lob pass outside the edge of the penalty area and was ready to send the ball to the middle of the penalty area to create a chance for Jiang Xiaolin to shoot.

As a result, as soon as the ball took off, Scott, the New Zealand full-back who was standing in front of Wang Yongbo and defending him and just inside the penalty area, saw that he had no time to raise his foot to intercept the ball, and the height was not enough to head the ball, so he subconsciously slapped the ball and blocked it.

After the ball was blocked, Scott reacted and quickly took his hand back, but it was too late.

Not to mention Wang Yongbo in front of him, even the referee saw it with his own eyes.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Yongbo raised his hand to indicate that Scott had committed a handball foul, the referee pointed to the penalty spot and blew the whistle, indicating that Scott had committed a handball foul and awarded the Chinese team a penalty.

The New Zealand players did not even protest excitedly, but quietly left the penalty area and waited for the Chinese team to take the penalty kick.

They had already accepted their fate.

The penalty kick was naturally taken by Jiang Xiaolin.

As expected, Jiang Xiaolin kicked the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Spree even misjudged the direction and could not stop Jiang Xiaolin's shot.

Jiang Xiaolin used the penalty kick opportunity to score his fourth goal of the game, completing a big four and helping the Chinese team lead New Zealand 6-0.

This was the first time that Jiang Xiaolin had completed a big four in an official game since he left the Alkmaar youth team (the friendly match between the Chinese national football team and Jordan was not counted).

What's more, it was a platform that attracted worldwide attention, such as the Olympics.

Even if he didn't score any more goals later, Jiang Xiaolin's value would increase a lot just by scoring a big four in this game.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xiaolin asked his agent Baker to finalize the contract extension with Alkmaar after the Olympics, because he was 100% confident that his value would increase after the Olympics.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin, who scored the goal, was also very excited. He ran wildly on the field to celebrate, and a bunch of teammates behind him also rushed up to celebrate with him.

In the stands and in front of the TV, countless fans also cheered and screamed, rejoicing for Jiang Xiaolin's big four and the Chinese team's 6-0.

After the celebration, the game continued. New Zealand still showed no signs of counterattack. They stayed in the backcourt and tried not to lose the ball.

Of course, everyone knows that it will be difficult for the New Zealand team to not lose the ball later, and it depends on whether they can lose the ball to double digits.

In the next ten minutes or so, perhaps the New Zealanders were lucky, and the Chinese team failed to score several shots.

There were even two shots that hit the door frame, allowing the New Zealanders to escape.

Just as the first half of the game entered the injury time, everyone thought that the Chinese team could only win with a score of 6-0.At the end of the first half, the Chinese team launched the last attack on the field.

This attack was caused by Jiang Xiaolin retreating to the midfield and breaking through after getting the ball.

Although the New Zealanders already knew the flaws of Jiang Xiaolin's breakthrough skill of only using fried meatballs, coupled with Jiang Xiaolin's speed, body, and fried meatballs added to the full value of 20, the on-the-spot state was also full. This time, three New Zealanders from the midfield to the front of the penalty area were broken through by Jiang Xiaolin.

What made the New Zealanders even more desperate was that Jiang Xiaolin used fried meatballs for three breakthroughs, which was even more frustrating.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin was about to break through into the penalty area, the panicked New Zealanders had three players blocking Jiang Xiaolin's route into the penalty area at the same time.

With three defensive players at the same time, it would be difficult for Jiang Xiaolin to break through again, unless he could hold the ball and crash through - that was of course not allowed.

However, Jiang Xiaolin's previous breakthrough and the defensive attention he attracted at this time made most of the other players of the Chinese team on the left and right sides in the cheering empty positions.

Although scoring a goal can gain more experience, if you can't break through and lose the ball, you will not gain any experience at all.

It's better to pass it to your teammates and get an assist.

Therefore, after seeing that three players from the other side blocked him at the same time, Jiang Xiaolin did not hesitate. He made a fake breakthrough and real pass before entering the penalty area, and after dodging a gap, he passed the ball to the gap on the right side of the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin's full-value short pass skills and on-the-spot state made his pass very comfortable and without any mistakes.

Full-back Tan Wangsong broke into the penalty area without anyone noticing, received Jiang Xiaolin's wonderful pass, and shot the ball into the near corner of the goal without stopping.

Although goalkeeper Spree was standing in the near corner and made a save, Tan Wangsong's shot was too powerful and too fast, and it actually hit the New Zealand goal before Spree's hand was in place to save.

In the last second before the end of the first half, Jiang Xiaolin assisted Tan Wangsong to score the seventh goal for the Chinese team, and the Chinese team was already leading New Zealand 7-0.
