Chapter 358

Amid the boos of the Groningen fans, the ball drew a parabola in the air, passed over the head of the goalkeeper Dashua who was desperately returning to defense, and fell into the goal of Groningen along the crossbar.

Although Dashua jumped desperately on the small penalty area line, trying to flick the ball over the crossbar.

But in the end, he missed the ball by a hair's breadth and could only watch the ball fly into the goal in despair.

In the 85th minute, Jiang Xiaolin intercepted the ball in the midfield and directly made a super long-range lob shot, lobbed the ball into the goal of Groningen, performing a hat trick himself, and also made the score between the two sides 1-4.

Of course, the leading team was Alkmaar, who played away.

In the commentary booth, the moment Jiang Xiaolin's long-range lob shot landed in the goal, the commentator from Alkmaar City TV screamed wildly:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball is in! Jiang Xiaolin scored again!"

"Jiang Xiaolin intercepted the ball in the midfield and shot directly in the half court."

"Another hat trick!"

"It's really too scary, I don't know how to describe it!"

"For Jiang Xiaolin, it seems that performing a hat trick is a very common thing!"

"Moreover, since the World Cup qualifiers on June 7 were tied by Qatar and no goals were scored, , including friendly matches and the Olympics, this is Jiang Xiaolin's 21st consecutive game in which he has scored. "

"Jiang Xiaolin's goal efficiency is simply too terrifying!"

"In the entire history of football, I am afraid that there is no striker who can score more goals than Jiang Xiaolin!"

"Of course, Jiang Xiaolin is still young and has not played many games yet. Some people may think that it is just a flash in the pan. However, I believe that Jiang Xiaolin will become more and more outstanding in the future. His speed of improvement is even more shocking."

In the stands, all the Groningen home fans were also dead silent, and only a few Alkmaar away fans were excitedly clapping, cheering and screaming in celebration at the corners of the stands.

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin, who was knocked down by the opponent's central defender Andres, also got up and hugged and high-fived his teammates who surrounded him.

This goal definitely locked the victory, no surprise!

With less than 10 minutes left in the game, and trailing by three goals, Groningen would never be able to equalize again.

Therefore, not long after the game resumed, head coach Van Gaal replaced Jiang Xiaolin.

On the one hand, it was to delay time, and on the other hand, it was to protect Jiang Xiaolin.

To prevent the opponent from getting angry and using malicious killing tactics against Jiang Xiaolin.

After Jiang Xiaolin left the court, the remaining time became garbage time.

Groningen, who lost three goals and had no hope of equalizing, lost the motivation to attack, and Alkmaar, who was leading, did not attack again. The remaining time was spent in the tacit back-passing of both sides.

Before the 3-minute stoppage time was over, the referee saw that both sides had no intention of fighting, so he blew the whistle to end the game in advance.

In the away game of the 13th round of the Eredivisie, Alkmaar defeated Groningen 4-1 with Jiang Xiaolin's one assist + three goals, and continued to lead the Eredivisie standings.

At the moment the referee blew the final whistle, Jiang Xiaolin also received the experience reward given by the system for this game.

Jiang Xiaolin gained 1 assist 1000 + goal 6000 + win 4000 = 11,000 basic experience in this game.

In terms of performance, Jiang Xiaolin's three goals + one assist were rated as excellent by the system, with a rating coefficient of 4.

Therefore, the total experience Jiang Xiaolin finally gained was 11,000*4=44,000.

Adding the previous daily training experience, Jiang Xiaolin's level experience rose to level 22 7.76/3 million.

After the game, the Netherlands, China, and even most of the European media continued to report the big news of Jiang Xiaolin's hat trick.

As the commentator said, the last game Jiang Xiaolin didn't score a goal was the World Cup qualifier on June 7.

Since then, whether it was a formal match or a friendly match, whether before or after the injury, as long as Jiang Xiaolin participated in the game, he scored a goal.

The number of consecutive scoring games has reached 21, which is simply astonishing.

Although the Dutch league is not as popular as the Premier League and La Liga, Jiang Xiaolin's continuous scoring for such a long time still attracted a lot of media attention and reports after the game.

Many people believe that Jiang Xiaolin is another goal-scoring machine in football after Gerd Muller.

Although Jiang Xiaolin has played few games, according to his current goal-scoring efficiency, as long as he does not suffer a major injury and interrupt his career, he may score more goals than Gerd Muller in the future, reachingA record of 1,000 goals is not something that is out of reach.

Jiang Xiaolin has gradually become a business card and signboard of the Eredivisie, even though he is only 17 years old and has only been in the Eredivisie for less than a year.

However, for Jiang Xiaolin and the Alkmaar team, they have no time to celebrate this ordinary league victory.

Because they will face a difficult challenge in the next game - Spartak Moscow.

For any European team, going to Russia to play football games during this period of the year at the end of the year is equivalent to going to hell.

If you have established a leading advantage in advance, it is okay to send a group of substitutes to deal with the job.

But the problem now is that Alkmaar has no leading advantage and no reason to send substitutes to deal with the job.

Not only that, they also rotated most of the main players in the last round against Groningen, just to go all out in this fourth round of the UEFA Cup group stage.

After the game with Groningen, Alkmaar did not take a holiday. After two days of training at the base, on December 2, the team flew to Moscow one day in advance.

The purpose of going to Moscow one day in advance is to adapt to the weather there and to conduct field adaptation training in advance.

According to the weather forecast, everyone already knew in advance that the temperature in Moscow was about minus 3-4 degrees Celsius, and there was snow.

However, when the plane stopped at Moscow Airport and everyone came out of the cabin, they could feel the cold world of ice and snow in Moscow more clearly.

It was really cold to the bone!

Even Jiang Xiaolin couldn't help shivering, let alone others.

Everyone looked a little ugly.

That afternoon, after the team settled down, they entered the home court of Spartak Moscow to adapt to the field.

The grass of Spartak Moscow's stadium is not natural grass, but artificial grass, which is much more slippery than natural grass. If you don't pay attention, you may slip and fall. Jiang Xiaolin and others seem very uncomfortable.

Jiang Xiaolin's speed advantage is also difficult to play out.

But there is no way, the schedule is arranged like this, and you can only continue to persevere.

At 19:00 on the evening of December 3, 2008, local time, with the referee's whistle, the fourth round of the UEFA Cup group stage between Spartak Moscow and Alkmaar in the 2008/2009 season officially began at the Moscow Sports Complex, the home stadium of Spartak Moscow.

There were snowflakes in the sky during this game, and the outdoor temperature was minus 3 degrees.

Despite this, the Moscow Sports Complex, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people, was still full. Countless Russian fans excitedly rushed into the stadium to cheer for the home team and put strong pressure on the visiting team Alkmaar.

Many Russian strong men even went topless in such a hot weather, revealing their strong muscles and chest hair, and put pressure on the Alkmaar players on the field in a show of force, hoping to influence the performance of the entire Alkmaar team.

There were only a few dozen Alkmaar fans who accompanied the team to Moscow, less than 100 people.

These dozens of Alkmaar fans are the real super hardcore.

After the game started, Spartak Moscow launched a fierce attack on Alkmaar amid the cheers of the home fans.

Alkmaar, who seemed very uncomfortable with the weather and the field, and was playing away, could only passively defend and play a defensive counterattack tactic.

There was nothing they could do about it.

They played and trained on such a field every day, and were very familiar with the field. The players of Spartak Moscow could use their skills, speed, etc. to the limit.

And Alkmaar, due to various reasons, may not even be able to play 50% of its strength.

Even Jiang Xiaolin, who was strong, played quite awkwardly.

In the 5th minute, Jiang Xiaolin wanted to stop and change direction to get rid of the close defense of the opponent's defender during a counterattack with the ball, but he slipped and fell to the ground, lost the ball, and also caused countless Russian fans in the stands to laugh.

Obviously, these Russians also knew that the most threatening person in Alkmaar was Jiang Xiaolin.

Fortunately, it is gratifying that although Spartak Moscow's attack is endless, their offensive efficiency is really unbearable to watch.

After all, they don't have a sharpshooter like Jiang Xiaolin, and they are always far behind in the finishing touch.

In the 7th minute, Spartak Moscow completed the first threatening shot since the start of the game.

Their side pass was successful, and the ball was passed into the middle and was headed into the penalty area by Pudurikov.

The ball was powerful and went straight to the goal frame.

Unfortunately, Pudurikov was in AlkmaarDue to the interference of the defender, the ball was not able to hit the angle, and it was slightly straight, and was subconsciously saved by Sergio Romero's side dive.

In the subsequent corner kick, Spartak Moscow failed to grab the first point, and was cleared by defender Ragnar Klavan.

Although the ball did not go in, it was the most threatening attack by both sides since the start of the game, which made the Russian fans in the stands more enthusiastic and excited to cheer for Spartak Moscow.

In the warm home atmosphere, Spartak Moscow continued to bombard Alkmaar's penalty area and goal.

In the 13th, Spartak Moscow sent the ball into the penalty area again through a pass organization, and forward Shan Gao completed a shot in the penalty area.

Unfortunately, Shan Gao's shot did not even hit the penalty area within the range of the goal frame, and missed the post.

It was not until the 19th minute that Alkmaar had Jiang Xiaolin complete a quick counterattack.

However, Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack could not sprint at full speed because he was afraid that he would slip.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin, who was running with the ball, was unable to shake off the Moscow Spartak defenders around him, so he could only barely kick the ball when he was close to the penalty area.

As a result, under the interference of the Moscow Spartak defenders around him, the ball finally passed over the goalkeeper's head and was still slightly higher than the crossbar.

Jiang Xiaolin's shot gave Alkmaar's players and fans a little hope.

Despite the bad weather and slippery grass, Alkmaar still had Jiang Xiaolin and hope of victory.

However, Moscow Spartak did not restrain itself because of Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack.

Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack was certainly a big threat, but they needed victory more.

Therefore, in the next game, Moscow Spartak still pressed forward and bombarded Alkmaar's penalty area and goal.

Fortunately, Alkmaar was well prepared for this game. Everyone focused their main energy on defense, and Van Gaal also conducted pre-match drills in advance, making it difficult for Moscow Spartak to easily enter Alkmaar's penalty area.

In the 27th minute, Spartak Moscow midfielder Bashinlov, who had been unable to enter the penalty area again, was unable to take a long shot outside the penalty area, and David Mendes blocked it out of the baseline.

Then Spartak Moscow took a corner kick, but no one got the first point due to the mutual pushing and shoving, and the ball fell into the penalty area, causing chaos.

After the chaos lasted for a few seconds, Spartak Moscow striker Shan Gao grabbed the ball a few steps ahead and tried to kick it into the goal with a volley.

As a result, Pocognoli lost his balance under the crowd and fell down, just falling on the route of Shan Gao's shot.

The distance was too close, and Pocognoli had no time to dodge, but he subconsciously stretched out his hand to support himself to avoid falling to the ground.

But it was his hand that was stretched out to support himself that blocked Shan Gao's shot.

The ball bounced off Pocognoli's hand, and was then kicked out of the penalty area by Ekto Moreno.

However, the players of Spartak Moscow had already complained to the referee excitedly, claiming that Pocognoli had committed a handball foul.

The players of Alkmaar naturally objected strongly, claiming that Pocognoli had committed a handball unintentionally and that he could not avoid it at that time.

The stands also heard the excited shouts of tens of thousands of Russian fans, all hoping that the referee would award a penalty.

Perhaps due to the home advantage of Spartak Moscow, the referee finally awarded the opponent a penalty, which greatly dissatisfied the players and coaches of Alkmaar.

Fortunately, Pocognoli was not shown a yellow card, which was a blessing in disguise.

The penalty was taken by Scheingau himself.

As expected, the ball went into the lower right corner of Alkmaar's goal. Although Sergio Romero jumped in the right direction, Scheingau's penalty was fast and the angle was tricky, so he still failed to save it and could only watch the ball go into the net.
