Chapter 343

Although Jiang Xiaolin's hook shot was at a good angle, goalkeeper Valmir was still a beat slow to react because of the rain.

When he rushed to the direction of the ball, even though he tried his best and successfully touched the ball, the ball was covered with water because of the rain and was too slippery.

Although Valmir's save changed the flight direction of the ball a little, it did not make it fly completely out of the goal frame.

When the ball hit Valmir's finger, he was still happy in his heart, thinking that he had saved the ball.

However, the next second, he saw that although the ball changed its line, it did not deviate from the goal frame, but flew into the goal firmly and hit the side net from the inside of the goal post.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Jiang Xiaolin broke the goal of the Dutch giants Ajax with a wonderful hook shot.

In the commentary booth, the commentator of the Alkmaar TV station immediately screamed wildly with all his strength:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"The game has just started for 3 minutes, and Jiang Xiaolin scored the first goal for Alkmaar with a wonderful hook shot, taking a 1-0 lead."

"It's wonderful!"

"Jiang Xiaolin is worthy of being a super shooter who averages 2 goals per game and tops the Eredivisie scorer list!"

"With Jiang Xiaolin's game, we don't have to worry about goals and victory at all!"

The commentators of other TV stations or foreign TV stations in the commentary booth were also very excited.

Putting aside the factor of Jiang Xiaolin's fame, this is also a very wonderful hook shot. What's more, the game has just started for 3 minutes, and the goal has broken the balance.

It can be imagined that the next game will be very intense.

Therefore, everyone seemed to appreciate Jiang Xiaolin's hook shot.

Needless to say, the fans of Alkmaar in the stands had already thrown away their raincoats and umbrellas and stood up to applaud and cheer for Jiang Xiaolin's wonderful goal in the rain.

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin also got up from the ground, rushed to the sidelines with mud all over his body, and slid enthusiastically, splashing water.

Then he was pulled up by his teammates who came to celebrate with hugs and high-fives.

After celebrating for more than 20 seconds, the game resumed.

After the game resumed, Ajax pressed forward and launched a fierce attack on Alkmaar's hinterland.

Although this was an away game and the heavy rain limited their performance, as the first giant in the Eredivisie, they would never allow Alkmaar, a small team, to lead and win so easily.

They had to fight back.

However, the restrictions of the heavy rain made it impossible for them to make many effective technical moves and pass-cut coordination, and they could only focus on crosses from the wing like Alkmaar's first goal.

But a strong center forward is needed for a cross from the wing. Although Ajax's No. 16 center forward Suarez is also capable, he is not as outstanding as Jiang Xiaolin.

Whether it is physique, speed, off-ball running, grabbing points, jumping, headers, etc., Suarez lags behind Jiang Xiaolin in all aspects.

Sometimes, even if he barely grabs the first point, it will be difficult to threaten the goal due to the close interference of Alkmaar's defenders.

Moreover, most of the time, he can't grab the first point.

In the 9th minute, Suarez grabbed a cross from the wing and headed the ball, but the defender Ragnar Klavan's close interference deflected the ball off the post.

However, before that, Alkmaar had completed two more shots.

One was Maarten Martens's long shot outside the penalty area that went over the crossbar.

Once, Jiang Xiaolin cut in from the wing and shot into the far corner, but goalkeeper Valmir saved it and hit the goal post and bounced back to Valmir, who pressed him directly under him.

The away game and the heavy rain made Ajax, a powerful team, play very badly today.

Even if they wanted to beat Alkmaar, it didn't work.

On the contrary, Alkmaar's attack became very threatening because of the presence of Jiang Xiaolin, a leading figure, and the two sides' competition for the top spot and revenge for Jiang Xiaolin.

Especially in this rainy day, Ajax's players' judgment of the ball path will be greatly affected, while Jiang Xiaolin's full-value grabbing and speed, physique, and off-ball running skills can still play most of the role.

In the 12th minute, Hamdaoyi pulled to the side, received Martens' pass and made a cross from the bottom. The ball drew a slight arc in the air and fell directly into the area between the penalty spot and the small penalty area line in the penalty area.

There were many people in the penalty area, near where the ball landedThere were at least three Ajax defenders: center back Oleger, center back Vertonghen, and defensive midfielder Lindgren.

However, Jiang Xiaolin still used his strong body to force a space, stood at the landing point, and then jumped to compete for the ball.

Center back Oleger and Vertonghen jumped together beside Jiang Xiaolin, and while jumping, they pulled Jiang Xiaolin's clothes and shoulders, trying to press Jiang Xiaolin down.

In addition, Lindgren behind him also pulled Jiang Xiaolin's clothes, trying to stop Jiang Xiaolin from jumping.

Even though there were three people around him who interfered with the defense, Jiang Xiaolin still relied on his strong physical fitness and jumping ability, plus the leverage he got from pulling Oleger and Vertonghen, to successfully jump to the highest point and grab the first landing point.

When the ball fell on his head, Jiang Xiaolin could feel that his body was being pulled by the opponent and was about to lose balance.

But Jiang Xiaolin still persisted. With his equally perfect balance, he stayed in the air for half a second, and then he headed the ball towards the right corner of the goal.

The wet ball hit Jiang Xiaolin's head, splashing water, blocking Jiang Xiaolin's sight and also affecting goalkeeper Valmir's judgment of the ball path.

Jiang Xiaolin's position for the header was already very close to the goal, and Valmir was affected by the rain and was a step slower in saving. Although Jiang Xiaolin's header was not very tricky, Valmir still failed to save it, and was far away, so he could only watch the ball fly into the net.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Jiang Xiaolin scored another goal and scored twice, helping Alkmaar lead Ajax 2-0.

The stands burst into warm cheers again, and more than 10,000 home fans stood up and screamed in worship for Jiang Xiaolin.

Ajax players looked at Jiang Xiaolin running wildly in the rain to celebrate, feeling quite helpless, and also complaining about the youth training coach who had been fired: It would be great if Jiang Xiaolin stayed in Ajax!

Looking at this trend, they are afraid that they will lose this game.

The subsequent game process verified their thoughts.

It's not that Ajax is not good. As a Dutch giant, they can hold on to Alkmaar by only 2 points, which is a good result.

But in today's game, on the one hand, Jiang Xiaolin's matter aroused the ambition of Alkmaar players to challenge the giants, and on the other hand, the heavy rain restricted Ajax's performance, but it had little impact on Jiang Xiaolin.

It was not until the 17th minute that Ajax had Suarez make a threatening shot in the penalty area, but because the angle was slightly right, it was caught in the arms of goalkeeper Sergio Romero.

Afterwards, Alkmaar launched a counterattack. After several mistakes and unsuccessful attacks, Alkmaar seized another opportunity in the 26th minute.

This time it was not Jiang Xiaolin's goal, but it was his assist.

Now everyone can see that Jiang Xiaolin's ability was not greatly affected by the heavy rain, so Ajax had to use two or three people to defend Jiang Xiaolin from time to time, resulting in loopholes in other places.

Although the shooting skills of Alkmaar's players were not as superb as Jiang Xiaolin, and they made constant mistakes, they could not avoid seizing an opportunity.

This attack in the 26th minute was like this. Forward Moussa Dembele passed a low ball, and the angle of the shot was blocked by the opponent's defender. Jiang Xiaolin had no choice but to use the full-value stop technique to unload the ball and control it under his feet to wait for an opportunity.

But with the close defense of the two defenders of the opponent, Jiang Xiaolin couldn't even face the goal, and could only turn his back to the goal to control the ball.

However, Hamdaoyi and Maarten Martens were also defended nearby.

However, because Jiang Xiaolin, Hamdaoui and Martens attracted too much defensive power, no one noticed when another winger Moussa Dembele cut into the penalty area from the wing.

Jiang Xiaolin noticed it and pushed the ball in time.

This time the pass was lucky and there was no mistake. The ball did not sink into the puddle in the middle and rolled smoothly to the front of Dembele's running route.

Dembele rushed into the penalty area and shot the ball directly from the corner of the small penalty area without stopping the ball, shooting the ball towards Ajax's goal.

Moreover, he shot a reverse angle, just in time to see Jiang Xiaolin pass the ball to Dembele and then rush to the left goalkeeper Valmier, and the ball flew into the goal from behind him.

In the 26th minute, Jiang Xiaolin assisted his teammate Moussa Dembele to score another goal, and Alkmaar was already leading Ajax 3-0.

The Alkmaar fans at the scene and in front of the TV went crazy.

Because of Jiang Xiaolin's terrifyingThe state and goal rate, as well as the overall state of Alkmaar this season, some people expected Alkmaar to win before the game, but no one expected it to win so easily, leading by three goals in less than half an hour.

Is Ajax going to be beaten 10-0 by Alkmaar like Vitesse?

However, in fact, the fans of Alkmaar thought too much.

Although Ajax was limited by heavy rain and the stadium and could not play too much offensive strength, it would not be completely passive like Vitesse.

After all, Ajax is a super giant in the Eredivisie, and the players in the team are still capable and will not be powerless to resist.

After more than 30 minutes of constant mistakes and little threat, Ajax finally scored their first goal of the game in the 35th minute.

This was also a cross from the side by Ajax winger Suleimani. This time Suarez not only grabbed the first point, but also carried the push of Alkmaar defenders and successfully headed a very high-quality header.

This header was not only powerful and fast, but also had a sharp angle, heading straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Although goalkeeper Romero judged the ball's path and rushed out, the distance was too close and the ball was too fast. Before his palm could reach it, the ball had already flown into the goal.

Ajax finally scored a point with the header of the team's top scorer Suarez, and saw a glimmer of hope.

In the stands, Ajax fans who had been silent for more than half an hour in the heavy rain could finally stand up and cheer to celebrate their goal.

The players of Alkmaar also shook their heads helplessly, feeling a little unwilling to lose the ball, but there was nothing they could do.

Ajax is not a weak team. Alkmaar can score 3 goals in half an hour with Jiang Xiaolin's ability. It is already good. It is so difficult to completely shut down Ajax!

However, although the goal was scored, the players of Ajax did not celebrate for too long. After all, they also knew that they were still behind, and they were two goals behind.

Therefore, it is important to start the game as soon as possible.

After scoring the goal, Ajax's morale was boosted, and it seemed that they had found the feeling of the game. In the next ten minutes, they created many threats in succession.

Unfortunately, they failed because of the lack of exquisite shooting skills at the last moment.

On the contrary, before the end of the first half, Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal on the Alkmaar side.

In this attack, Maarten Martens caused a foul when he broke through the middle, winning a free kick in a good position for Alkmaar.

This free kick was naturally taken by Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin also took the responsibility and finally took a very high-quality arc free kick, which not only bypassed the wall of people, but also hit the inside of the post in the dead corner, and then bounced into the net.

Goalkeeper Valmier didn't even make a save, but just moved a step closer, and then found that he couldn't save it at all, so he gave up saving it and prayed that the ball would fly out of the goal frame.

Unfortunately, his prayers didn't work, and the ball finally hit the post and bounced into the net.

When Jiang Xiaolin's free kick flew into the goal, this time it was not limited to the commentators of Alkmaar. Many commentators in the commentary booth excitedly shouted and explained:

"Goooooooooooooooooooal..."

"Jiang Xiaolin scored again!"

"The third goal! Before the first half was over, Jiang Xiaolin had already scored the third goal in the game directly against Ajax, completing a hat trick!"

"This is Jiang Xiaolin's demonstration and revenge against Ajax. Ajax must be regretting it! The youth team coach who kicked Jiang Xiaolin out during the trial has caused Ajax to lose a lot of money."

"The Ajax executives who were still stubborn before the game must be looking very ugly now!"

"I dare say that Jiang Xiaolin will win the European Golden Boy Award this year. If it is not Jiang Xiaolin by then, the whole world will not accept it!"

"Too shocking! Jiang Xiaolin's goal efficiency is simply unparalleled in the world!"
