Trondheim is the first capital of Norway, where the kings of all dynasties were crowned. Trond means coronation, Herm means home, and together they mean the place of coronation. Now Trondheim is Norway The third largest city in the country, the technology center, is known as the Silicon Valley of Norway, and Trondheim is also a university town. In this small city with a population of 14, there is one college student for every five people.

Alkmaar’s second UEFA Champions League game was played in this ancient city. In order to prepare for this game, Alkmaar took a plane to Trondheim one day in advance, and they were accompanied by more than 4000 Dutch fans. Calculated for fans of other countries.

Alkmaar has been in the limelight recently, but his influence is mainly in the Chinese circles in the Netherlands and Europe. There are not many Chinese in Scandinavia. When Jiang Mu led the team to arrive, except for more than 100 people in Norway Chinese and Dutch, as well as Norwegian reporters, did not have other fans or reporters to pick up the plane. Rosenborg’s influence cannot be compared with that of Dortmund. At this time, European reporters are all going to cover the game of the giants, and no one will go fast Run to Norway in the Arctic Circle.

Alkmaar is also happy to enjoy the cleanliness. Sitting on the bus, you can easily browse this small town. The quaint cobblestone alleys and the buildings made of logs are a bit rough, but they have the ancient and majestic Nordic city, and they are full of legends. The colorful Trondheim Bay, everything reminds you that you have walked into the dusty memory of the Vikings.

Ronaldinho listened to the music, sat beside Jiang Mu, and said with a smile, "Coach, it doesn't look cold in September. I thought the temperature would be below zero?"

"I don't know it. It's located at the confluence of the Nieder River and the Trondheim Fjord, and the temperature is about the same as in the Netherlands." Jiang Mu had never been to Norway, and this was a temporary homework when collecting Rosenberg's information before the game.

Norwegian defender Riise said: "Fortunately, it is Trondheim, not Trondheim, otherwise we will really go to the Arctic Circle to play the game. The sun should have set there now, but everyone here has to get used to it in the afternoon. The day of the sunrise."

Jiang Mudao: "These objective conditions are very important, but they are not decisive factors. Last time we played a warm-up match with Rosenborg here, this is a very favorable factor for us. We still have to use our strength to conquer Opponents. You know whether they play well or not, and we must give [-]% effort to win this game."

Drogba came over and said: "It seems that Boavista is the weakest in this group. If we win against Rosenborg, we are almost ready to play."

"Nonsense." Jiang Mu said sternly, "Don't have this kind of thinking, no one in this group is weaker, and no one knows how the other party is doing unless they really fight."

Drogba scratched his head naively after being scolded, and stopped talking.

Jiang Mu continued: "Our goal is lofty, but our strength is weak. If we want to achieve our goal, we must treat every opponent as a knockout match, so that we can go further. The status or something, this is the goal of a wealthy team. Power, we just win all the balls we deserve to win."

While everyone was talking, the car drove to the hotel they booked. The players got out of the car and filed into the hotel. They took a rest and prepared to have lunch, and then went to Rosenborg's home stadium Lecondall Stadium for adaptive training.

The training in the afternoon is mainly to practice defending high-altitude balls. Facing a team whose average height is more than eight centimeters, Alkmaar’s biggest difficulty is air defense. As long as they can defend against the Norwegian’s aerial bombing, they will have a very good chance of winning. Most likely, the Norwegians can't compete with them in ground offense. In the summer warm-up match, the main reason they lost was because they didn't defend against Rosenborg's high-altitude bombing.

Because of the presence of the Norwegian international Riise, Alkmaar's training attracted many Norwegian fans and some journalists visiting the camp, but Alkmaar did not hide his training intentions, and the match against Rosenborg should be very good. Transparent, everyone knows where their own advantages are, and they also know what the opponent's strengths are.

Although the Norwegian fans are tall and big, they are very disciplined. There are no football hooligans like England and Turkey, and they are more civilized than the Dutch fans. applause.

At the press conference before the game, Jiang Mu took Riise with him.

At the meeting, faced with the Norwegian media saying that he wanted to repeat the victory in the warm-up match, Jiang Mu cautiously affirmed the difficulty of the game again, but did not admit that he would lose. Super 7 champions, the level of the two teams is on the same level, whoever wins or loses is possible. For us, winning and drawing are acceptable, as long as we don’t lose. We played against Rosenborg in the summer warm-up match In the warm-up match, we lost 1:3. That game has great reference factors for both of us, because we didn’t know that we would be in a group with each other, but I believe that the score of that game will not appear. In this game."

Norway defender Riise, whose long-range strike against the Bundesliga giants and opened the door for his national team in their last game against Dortmund, has kept his support in this game against his home country from the standpoint of your own team.

“Rosenberg is a great club. Although the Norwegian Super League is not a famous league, I know that the Norwegian League is not easy to play. It is not easy to win the championship here for seven consecutive years. It will be difficult, and the warm-up games in the summer showed that, but this time I believe we will win the game and hope to reach the last 16 of the Champions League with Rosenborg."

If Rosenborg represents the Norwegian League, then coach Nils Arne Egan represents the entire Rosenborg.

When Rosenborg won the Norwegian Super League for the first time in 1967, Arne Egan was a member of the team. Four years later, he guided the team to achieve the league and cup double in 1971; during the third time coaching Rosenborg, he He dragged Rosenborg, who was trapped in the second-tier league at the time, back to the top level; after his return in 1988, he directed Rosenborg to achieve double championships twice.The last time was counting from 1992, when he led the team out of control to achieve 7 consecutive championships.

Arne Egan also surprised the big European teams. In December 1996, he led his team to defeat Italy's AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium, and then advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.A year later, his team beat La Liga giants Real Madrid 12-2.They have played eight UEFA Champions League group matches for seven consecutive seasons, and with their record in the UEFA Champions League and the huge bonuses they have won, they have consolidated Rosenberg's dominance in the domestic league.

Such a coach must be confident and tough. Arne Egan is such a person. He said at the press conference before the game: "Thank you Riise for your blessings, and thank you Coach Jiang for your praise. A, the Norwegian Super League is much less famous and less powerful, but in Leckendaal, we have the confidence to win. I support Riise's statement that we and Alkmaar can qualify in Group C, but we will not win in this game. win."

Both teams are full of confidence in their own teams. Arne Egan believes that they must win, Jiang Mu believes that they are at least undefeated, and the bookmaker's statement is obviously more objective, because it is related to the money in their pockets , Among the odds they opened for this game, the initial odds of William Hill Data's wins and losses were 2.75, 3.20, and 2.60.William Hill's choice represents the attitude of most data companies, that is, they are optimistic about Rosenberg's victory. After all, Alkmaar is a newcomer to the Champions League, and Rosenberg is a veteran and still playing at home.

The game kicks off at 45:[-] p.m. local time.

Because Alkmaar's legendary record has spread in Europe in the past year, and this Dutch team also has their man balloon star Riise, the fans of this game are enthusiastic, and Leikendal, which can accommodate 8000 people, is overcrowded. There are still many fans outside who cannot buy tickets.

In this game, Jiang Mu formed a 433 formation, goalkeeper Silva, back four are Riise, Lucio, Ismail, Kronkamp, ​​three midfielders are Gattuso, Van Bommel and En Branch, the three strikers are Ronaldinho, Thomason and Dirk.

Before the start of the game, when the list of starting players for the game was reported, everyone thought Ronaldinho was playing the attacking midfielder, but when the real game started, people were surprised to find that Ronaldinho was actually standing In the position of right winger.

This really surprised everyone.

The on-site commentator shook his head again and again, and said: "Jiang Mu's formation is really bold and incredible. Among the coaches I have seen, this Chinese coach is the only one who is miraculous. The other coaches are miraculous in their records. China Jiang's formation is also very amazing, he is simply a magician, Ronaldinho actually went to play the right winger, this is really unexpected, and Thomason became the center, Drogba as a substitute, maybe also Jiang Mu hopes to use Nordic players to deal with Nordic defenders, Drogba is not familiar with Norwegian defenders after all, and his body is not cheap compared to Norwegian defenders."

Arne Egan stood on the sidelines and shook his head again and again, looking at Jiang Mu's eyes changed, because the Chinese made him confused, three defensive midfielders, Ronaldinho playing as a winger, this is all out To his surprise, many of his pre-match arrangements used the open space, and now we can only see how the opponent's arrangements perform.

After the start of the game, Ronaldinho showed an astonishing ability to understand tactics. In a position he had never played before, he gave full play to his speed and technique, and the entire right flank became his In the world, Kronkamp used to be an equally important main attacker as the right midfielder, but now he has become a soy sauce player. He only needs to open up the gap for Ronaldinho and make a wall.

The Norwegian players were a little confused, because the coach placed heavy troops in the middle in order to defend Ronaldinho, and the sideways were always wide. Jiang Mu put Ronaldinho, who combines technical speed and spirituality, on the sideways to hit the right side. Rosenberg's crotch, after the opening, Alkmaar quickly gained the upper hand by virtue of Ronaldinho's performance on the wing.
