Chapter 9

After a 15-minute break, the second half of the game continued.

Although Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal in the first half, he was not well-known and was a yellow man, so the players of Bonigom naturally looked down on him.

Although Henik didn't score in the first half, as the top scorer of Pulmes, he was also famous in the amateur D-level league.

Therefore, Bonigom's defense against Henik was higher than that against Jiang Xiaolin.

This gave Pulmes an opportunity to take advantage of.

Not long after the start of the second half, Pulmes took advantage of Bonigom's negligence against Jiang Xiaolin and launched a beautiful attack.

In the 48th minute, Pulmes launched an attack from the right side, and after three passes and two falls, the ball fell to the feet of the front midfielder Lanier.

Then, Henik rushed into the penalty area from the right, and Lanier passed the ball in at the right time.

But Henik was the focus of Bonigom's defense.

Before Henik touched the ball, a central defender stepped forward and flew over to block his shooting route.

There was a goalkeeper waiting at the near end of the goal, and a full-back was pulling and entangled beside him.

Even if Henik barely shot, it would most likely hit the defender or goalkeeper and would not go in.

In a flash, the players of Bonigom didn't think so much, they just wanted to stop Henik from shooting.

Henik was different, because the coach specifically explained during the halftime break that Henik was paying attention to Jiang Xiaolin's position on the left when he rushed into the penalty area.

Sure enough, he saw Jiang Xiaolin running from the left side of the penalty area to the penalty spot in the penalty area.

There was no one near the penalty spot at this time, and even if other Bonigom players ran over, they were not as fast as Jiang Xiaolin.

Naturally, Henik gave up shooting, swept the ball to the middle with his right foot.

All the players of Bonigom were shocked. The goalkeeper immediately turned around and tried to rush to the middle. A midfielder who ran back to participate in the defense also rushed into the penalty area with all his strength, trying to interfere with Jiang Xiaolin's shot.

But it was too late?

Neither the goalkeeper nor the midfielder was as fast as Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin ran into the penalty area from the left, facing the ball swept by Henik and pushed the ball into the lower left corner easily.

The goalkeeper was too far away and could not even make a save. He watched the ball go into the net.

Jiang Xiaolin scored twice, helping Pulmes to overtake the score 2-1.

Seeing the ball go into the net, Jiang Xiaolin excitedly rushed to Henik, hugged him, and said loudly: "Thank you! You passed the ball well!"

Henik also happily said: "You played well too!"

Lanier, Dominik, Jonathan and other players also rushed up and surrounded Jiang Xiaolin and Henik to celebrate excitedly.

In comparison, the players of Bonigom were somewhat frustrated.

On the sidelines, Van der No also excitedly clenched his fist and roared to celebrate.

This goal was a perfect embodiment of his tactical arrangement and a victory of his tactics.

Seeing the players score goals and overtake the score according to his tactical instructions, it is no wonder that Van der No was excited.

In the corner of the stands, Kenneth couldn't help but applaud Jiang Xiaolin and this goal.

Kenneth saw that Jiang Xiaolin's off-ball running was indeed top-notch.

In the small space in the penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin could see through the fleeting gap and grasp it, which was rare.

This goal showed Jiang Xiaolin's ability to run without the ball.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaolin's shot was also quite steady. There was no hesitation, no miss, and he steadily shot the ball into the goal.

How could a player of this ability play in the Class D amateur league? At least it should be a professional league above Class C, right?

Kenneth couldn't figure it out.

But he knew that Jiang Xiaolin was a treasure and shouldn't be in the Class D amateur league.

After Jiang Xiaolin and others celebrated, the game continued.

The players of Bonigom no longer dared to look down on Jiang Xiaolin. After all, he had already scored twice. Anyone who dared to look down on him would be caught in the door.

Next, Jiang Xiaolin almost had no chance to shoot.

It's not that he didn't run out of space, but in this case, it's useless for him to run out of space alone. His teammates also need to pass the ball to him, and the ball must be passed well.

As for Jiang Xiaolin himself, he was an amateur at dribbling and breaking through. It is natural that it is difficult to get a chance to shoot when you can only rely on your teammates to pass the ball and are closely guarded by the opponent.

Kenneth also gradually discovered some shortcomings of Jiang Xiaolin, such as amateur passing, amateur dribbling, amateur teamwork, etc.

Apart from running without the ball and shooting, there is almost no other outstanding point in Jiang Xiaolin.

But thisIt did not prevent Kenneth from appreciating Jiang Xiaolin.

In his opinion, as long as he had superb off-ball running ability and superb shooting skills, he would at least have the capital to gain a foothold in a professional team at the He C level.

As for the rest, Kenneth thought Jiang Xiaolin was not too old and could still practice.

However, whether Jiang Xiaolin's ability could only barely reach the He C level of the professional league or whether he could gain a foothold in the Eredivisie, Kenneth could not judge, after all, he was not a professional scout.

He had to continue observing before deciding whether to call his brother.

You know, his brother was a scout for the Eredivisie team, and generally did not pay attention to amateur leagues or amateur players.

On the field, the game was still going on.

Although Jiang Xiaolin's off-ball running ability did not score any more goals, it tore Bonigom's defense line apart and made them lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.

In this case, the defensive pressure faced by Henik was undoubtedly much easier than in the first half, and there were more opportunities.

In the 61st minute, Jiang Xiaolin's running position pulled apart Bonigom's central defense. Henik rushed into the penalty area at the right time, received a cross from his teammate and headed the ball, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper and hit the crossbar.

In the 74th minute, Henik completed a shot at the corner of the small penalty area, but it was slightly off the post, which was quite a pity.

In the whole second half, Bonigom did not lose the ball except for a goal scored by Jiang Xiaolin at the beginning.

However, they also found it difficult to launch an attack, and were almost suppressed by Purmes.

Purmes has not scored a goal not because there are not many opportunities, but because the players did not seize them.

In the 83rd minute, winger Dominic also completed a long shot outside the corner of the penalty area, which was also slightly higher than the crossbar.

As the game time passed, Bonigom's players became a little impatient.

You know, they are the ones who are behind in the score now! Moreover, they are not always behind, but they are reversed by the opponent after taking the lead.

This is quite abominable.

Even though they were defending in the second half, the players of Bonigom still wanted to attack and score, or at least equalize the score.

As the end of the game got closer, everyone's mentality became stronger and stronger.
