Chapter 41

The tactics of the Dutch team, from the national team to the club, and then to the echelons of all ages, are basically all full attack and defense tactics, which are inherited from the same source.

When attacking, both central defenders may have to run to the opponent's half to participate in the attack.

When defending, even the forwards have to return to their own half to participate in the defense.

However, when Jiang Xiaolin played in the amateur league in Pulmes, because most people were amateur part-time players, their skills, awareness and physical reserves could not keep up, and it was difficult to play a true full attack and defense.

And everyone did not go all out in the team training matches between the Alkmaar first team and the youth team, so Jiang Xiaolin did not have any intuitive feelings about full attack and defense.

But after participating in the He Qingjia game for the first time today, Jiang Xiaolin finally had a more intuitive understanding of full attack and defense.

These are all young men around 19 years old, with peak physical fitness and high running enthusiasm, and they can run more than many first-team players.

After the start of the second half, it was the De Gastrup youth team that kicked off.

Jiang Xiaolin, who was standing in the center circle, didn't even react. Most of the opposing players had already crossed the center line. With a few passes, the attack was launched near the Alkmaar Youth Team's penalty area, and then a shot was made.

Fortunately, the quality of this shot was not high and it did not pose a threat.

After seeing the ball being taken by goalkeeper Elmer, Jiang Xiaolin was about to rush to Digastropp's half and launch an attack while the opponent's defense was empty.

As a result, the opponent's forward stepped forward to interfere with Elmer's intention to pass the ball quickly, and the midfielder and defender retreated quickly like a tide, giving Jiang Xiaolin no chance to take advantage of the opportunity.

This kind of fast conversion speed between offense and defense was something Jiang Xiaolin had never seen before in the amateur league and the team's internal training matches, and the defensive pressure he felt was unprecedented.

The personal strength and strictness of the defensive formation of these Digastropp Youth Team players are many times higher than their opponents in the amateur league.

In addition, this was a formal Heqingjia match, which was related to whether everyone could be promoted to the first team and play in professional games. Therefore, everyone's investment in fighting was much higher than in the training match, which made Jiang Xiaolin a little uncomfortable. He had almost no decent performance in the first 10 minutes after he came on the court.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin did not have no chance to touch the ball.

Once he ran into the gap, but Cagel crossed the ball and it was a half-high ball, which was difficult to head or kick.

Jiang Xiaolin could only raise his leg and volley, but he didn't hit the right part and kicked the plane, which also attracted the dozen away fans of Dijkstra to applaud and laugh at him loudly on the sidelines.

Not only did Jiang Xiaolin not play well in offense, he even failed to protect the pass from his teammate once, and the opponent's defensive player saw the opportunity and kicked it away to form a counterattack, and almost lost the ball.

Seeing Jiang Xiaolin's performance in the first 10 minutes, Cagel was secretly happy and hoped that Jiang Xiaolin would maintain such performance.

If Jiang Xiaolin continues to perform like this, Crofts will probably put him in the cold palace and it will be difficult for him to get a chance to play, let alone be entrusted with the important task of being the team's main offensive point.

Crofts saw Jiang Xiaolin's inability to adapt to the game, but he did not make any adjustments or instructions.

This is a situation that Jiang Xiaolin must face, and Crofts wants to see how he will perform in this situation.

If Jiang Xiaolin can't even handle the youth team game, there is no need to embarrass himself in the Eredivisie.

...

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin is trying to adapt to the new, faster and stronger game rhythm.

Jiang Xiaolin's physical reaction speed is actually not low, but he has never encountered such a high-intensity game with such a fast attack and defense conversion speed when he played in amateur leagues or team internal training games before, so it was a bit difficult to adapt for a while.

In addition to the lack of tacit cooperation with teammates and Cagel's deliberate mischief, he performed poorly in the first 10 minutes.

But 10 minutes later, as the game progressed, Jiang Xiaolin gradually adapted to the game. The physical fitness given to him by his genes made him not fall behind in physical confrontation or offensive and defensive reactions.

With full-value off-ball running, acceleration, and nearly full-value physical strength, Jiang Xiaolin gradually began to recover some of the strength he showed in the training match.

In the 62nd minute, right-back August joined the attack, completed a two-on-one with his teammates in the frontcourt, and then made a cross from the bottom. Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area with the intuition given by off-ball running, grabbed the first point on the small penalty area line, and made a powerful head shot, smashing the ball into the goal.

If it weren't for the No. 4 central defender of Dijkstra rushing over and bumping into Jiang Xiaolin in time, he would not have been able to hit the ball he wanted.The angle of the ball was slightly straight, and the goalkeeper subconsciously blocked it, and Jiang Xiaolin might have scored the first goal.

Although the ball did not go in, it was the first time that Jiang Xiaolin had hit the goal frame after he came on the court, and it was extremely threatening.

Therefore, Song Zhicheng and others on the sidelines sighed with regret, and applauded to express their appreciation and encouragement to Jiang Xiaolin. Other home spectators also talked about this. It was a good ball. If it was not for the slightly straight angle, it might have gone in.

Crofts also felt that Jiang Xiaolin gradually adapted to the rhythm of this Heqingjia game, and nodded secretly.

As long as he adapted to the rhythm of the game, with Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills, Crofts believed that the next time would still be enough for Jiang Xiaolin to score.

However, the Degastropp Youth Team is not made of wood, and is not a test product for the Alkmaar Youth Team to train Jiang Xiaolin. They are here to compete.

Therefore, before Alkmaar scored its second goal, it was the away team Digastropp who scored their second goal in the 68th minute with a free kick in the frontcourt.

The Digastropp Youth Team took the lead 2-1 over the home team Alkmaar Youth Team.

Crofts' face suddenly looked a little ugly.

Although the mission of the youth team is to provide blood for the first team, it does not mean that he does not care about the results at all.

It would be a shame if he could not win the home game!

Therefore, Crofts stood on the sidelines and angrily scolded Kagel, who had already shot several times in the second half and did not pass the ball to Jiang Xiaolin even though Jiang Xiaolin had a better chance to shoot. He told him to figure out the tactics he arranged during the halftime break. If he didn't know, he didn't mind replacing him.

Kagel was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to refute Crofts. He could only say in his heart: "Pass it, don't blame me if Jiang Xiaolin can't seize the opportunity."
