Chapter 84

Ragnar Klavan, who was clearing the ball with his big foot, naturally couldn't give up the big foot clearance just because someone jumped up in front of him to block the hole.

He had already made a move and couldn't retract it.

The chaotic situation in the penalty area didn't allow him to retract it, so the most important thing was to kick it out quickly.

So, when Nefland had already turned around and jumped up and couldn't see the ball at all, he suddenly felt his buttocks hit hard by the ball, making Nefland scream "Ah".

Then Nefland fell from the air.

However, just when he landed and didn't know where the ball that hit his buttocks just now rolled to, he heard a loud explosion in the stadium, and more than 16,000 home fans screamed and cheered wildly.

The nearby Groningen players also rushed up and surrounded Nefland to celebrate his goal.

Nevland then turned his head to look at the goal, and was surprised to find that the football used in the game appeared in Alkmaar's goal, still rolling slowly.

But there was no doubt that the football had entered the net.

It turned out that the football just hit Nevland's buttocks when Klavan kicked the ball away.

Then it bounced into the goal.

Romero was completely caught off guard by this sudden buttocks rebound ball, and was completely unprepared. In the end, he was a step late in saving the ball, and could only watch the football being blocked by Nevland's buttocks and into the goal.

Nevland's buttocks rebound goal made the home fans cheer and laugh.

When the Groningen players ran up to surround Nevland to celebrate, no one patted his head or his shoulders, but his buttocks, and some people joked that he had a "golden butt".

Nevland's face was quite embarrassed, but he was actually very happy and proud in his heart.

As a striker, being able to score a goal is the greatest justice, no matter how he scored it!

Being able to score a goal with an unconventional part like the buttocks will surely get more attention and heated discussions in the media and on the Internet after the game, which is also very cost-effective.

Compared with the cheering and joy of Groningen players and fans, Alkmaar players and fans were crying, thinking that the goal was too unfair and that they were extremely unlucky.

Especially the central defender Ragnar Klavan who directed the goal, he was simply crying without tears.

He was clearly actively fighting for the clearance, so how could he give an own goal assist to the opponent's buttocks goal?

Sergio Romero also felt like crying.

Before losing the ball, he felt that his performance was very good. He played at his due level and did not let any of the opponent's regular shots in.

As time passed, he even had the confidence to shut out all the opponent's shots in this debut.

Unexpectedly, his teammate's own goal assist made his hope of not conceding a goal in the first game fall through.

As the captain, Yarriens walked over and touched Klavan's head to comfort him, and then continued the game.

The experience of equalizing the score once made the Alkmaar players who fell behind again unwilling to lose. After the game restarted, they almost pressed forward and wanted to attack with all their strength to equalize the score.

Among them, Romero's performance on the goal line gave his teammates great confidence.

Romero can't be blamed for the ball just now.

Even if a world-class goalkeeper comes to guard this goal, he will probably be caught off guard by his teammate's own goal assist and Nefland's hip rebound goal, and he will be helpless.

Therefore, everyone did not doubt Romero's goalkeeping ability.

Since Romero is guarding the goal, others are much bolder and dare to assist.

Especially the two full-backs, they began to take turns to provide support to the offensive players in the frontcourt.

For a while, Alkmaar, who was fighting with their backs against the wall, turned the tables and bombarded the opponent in Groningen's half, so that Groningen could not even get through the half.

Groningen, who had regained the lead, naturally would not give up the victory. Everyone ran actively and fought fiercely, vowing to stop Alkmaar's bombardment and win the game.

As time passed, the players of both sides kept falling in the fight, but the score remained unchanged.

Alkmaar made three shots during this period, but none of them hit the goal frame, which made the head coach Van Gaal on the sidelines anxious.

Van Gaal turned his head every once in a while to look at Jiang Xiaolin who was warming up with his teammates, considering whether to send Jiang Xiaolin to the field.

With Jiang Xiaolin's efficiency of scoring 13 goals in 4 games in the Heqing League, if these three shots were made by himIf he could shoot, Van Gaal thought Jiang Xiaolin could at least score one.

That way he could equalize the score and stop the team's losing streak.

There was little time left in the game, and Van Gaal had no hope for a reversal.

This was an away game, the opponent was a team with a higher ranking than his own, and now his own team was behind in the score.

As long as they could equalize the score and avoid a seven-game losing streak, it would be the biggest victory for Alkmaar in today's game.

But he was still a little hesitant.

The tacit cooperation between Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates, and whether Jiang Xiaolin could adapt to the pressure of away games amid the boos and scolding noises of more than 16,000 fans in the stadium were all unknown.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin was only 16 years old and had never played a minute of professional games. Van Gaal was very worried that Jiang Xiaolin could not bear the pressure, and not only would he not be able to play a role, but would interrupt the team's current momentum.

In Van Gaal's entanglement, time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, the game was coming to an end, and the fourth official played a sign for 4 minutes of extra time.

Because the game was more intense in the second half, there were more fouls, and Groningen also had one player injured, and the team doctor took a lot of time to treat him.

But in the eyes of Alkmaar's coaches, players, and fans, the injured player from Groningen was simply stalling for time.

Because after he limped off the court, less than 10 seconds later, he applied to the referee to enter the court again. He was not injured to the point where he needed to be replaced. He was just stalling for time.

Seeing that the time entered the extra time stage, Van Gaal withdrew his eyes from Jiang Xiaolin.

There were only 4 minutes of extra time left, which was too short. It was estimated that it would be useless to replace Jiang Xiaolin.

So, Van Gaal did not plan to replace Jiang Xiaolin.

However, just when Van Gaal was ready to accept the outcome of seven consecutive defeats and was thinking about how to deal with the bombardment from reporters and fans, in the 92nd minute of stoppage time, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Someone in Groningen's penalty area fouled an Alkmaar player from behind.
