There is a place called Boavista in Brazil and Portugal.There is also a club called Boavista in the city of Boavista in northern Brazil, while the Portuguese Boavista team is located in the famous city of Porto, which is exactly the same as the equally famous Porto team. Undefeated rivals in the same city.

Although they are rivals in the same city, Porto fans did not pay attention to the Boavista team for a long period of time, because the Boavista team at that time was still very weak and could not compete with Porto, The monopoly position of the top three of Sporting Lisbon and Benfica is threatened.However, in the last season, Jaime Pacheco led Boavista almost broke the century-old monopoly of the top three on the league championship. It was only because of the referee's problem that they fell short.

As a reborn person, Jiang Mu also knows that in the next few seasons, Pacheco will lead Boavista to finally break the monopoly of the top three in the Portuguese Super League, win the championship of the Portuguese Super League, and lead Boavista. Avesta broke into the knockout round of the Champions League, such a team, how could Jiang Mu despise them because they lost two group matches.

After this Champions League group match, Alkmaar will welcome old rival Feyenoord at home, but Jiang Mu did not let the players think too much about that game, everything is focused on the Champions League, this is Jiang Mu's opponent What the players clearly requested, in fact, the goal set by the club before the game this season is to defend the league and cup titles, and did not make too many demands on the Champions League, but after the team won two consecutive victories in the Champions League, the club's two The manager, owner Dierke and the team's coaches held a meeting. Dierke told Jiang Mu and his coaching staff that they could not defend their titles in the league and cup games, and strive to qualify for the Champions League group. Put pressure on the team.

Dierk’s request is due to the club’s financial pressure. It is conservatively estimated that the construction of the new stadium will cost at least 1.5 million euros, or about 390 million Dutch guilders. Even if a rich man like Dierk can barely come up with this cash, he will not have the energy Then invest in the club, so if Alkmaar wants to maintain his strength in the transfer market in recent years, he can only hope for the Champions League bonus.For small clubs, it is very common to use European wars to support civil wars. Rosenberg did this. If you reach the Champions League group stage, you can get 80 million euros in bonuses, 40 euros for a win, 300 for a draw Even if they fail to enter the second stage of the group stage, it is an astronomical figure for a small club, and if they enter the second stage of the group stage, there will be another [-] million euros in bonuses. With Alkmaar's current momentum , the probability of reaching the second stage of the group stage is extremely high, so that there will be an income of nearly [-] million euros, which can basically guarantee self-sufficiency.So Dirk proposed to the team the goal of focusing on the Champions League.

Jiang Mu understands the mood and thoughts of the boss and his father-in-law Dirk. For him, the new challenge of the Champions League is greater than the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup. Even if there is no bonus, he will not put the league above the Champions League.

For Boavista, this game against Alkmaar is a battle of life and death. If they lose this game, they are basically out, although theoretically they may still qualify.

Boavista's performance last season made the fans hooked, and they continue to occupy the top spot this season. Their home attendance is also rising. The capacity of the Bessa stadium is only more than 2 people, and more than 1 people per game have already It has become a common phenomenon, whether it is training at the home Bessa Stadium or at the City Park Stadium, the team will attract a large number of fans to watch.

In such a football atmosphere, the arrival of Alkmaar, the magical and mysterious teacher, naturally attracted great attention from the fans.Tickets for the home games were sold out a week ago.

In order to give back to the support of the fans, Boavista President Loreiro decided to reimburse 50.00% of the expenses for the next round of fans' expedition to the Netherlands.Mr. Chairman said: "The fans deserve this kind of reward. Their behavior will make the team perform better."

The decision of Boavista chairman Loreiro made the Portuguese fans even more fanatical. Before the game started, the entire Boavista district had become a festival for fans. The streets and alleys were full of Boavis wearing black and white plaid shirts Tower fans were walking around, they sang Boavista's team anthem, held banners that Boavista must win, and supported the team's defeat of Alkmaar.

However, the fanatical Boavista fans did not make Jiang Mu feel intimidated. The Alkmaar fans became even more fanatical. After winning the two UEFA Champions League group matches, the Alkmaar fans' expectations for the team skyrocketed. In the survey, a small number of fans believe that Alkmaar has a chance to reach the quarterfinals.

The third group match against Boavista is a very crucial one. If you win the game, you will basically qualify. In order to support your team, the Netherlands has about [-] Alkmaar fans traveling with the team. Other countries There are also tens of millions of fans in Porto to watch the game, but Portugal only provided [-] tickets to Alkmaar, but this did not stop the continuous influx of Alkmaar fans.

Alkmaar arrived in Porto, Portugal the day before the game. Another group match in Group C was held one day earlier than Alkmaar and Boavista. In the evening, all Alkmaar players and coaches were in the conference hall of the hotel Watching the match between Rosenborg and Dortmund, the game ended in a 2:2 draw. This is good news for Alkmaar. As long as this game is won, the next win will qualify. If the following If Rosenborg and Dortmund draw or lose another game, Alkmaar will be able to advance even if they lose.This is a match point for Alkmaar.

And for Boavista, this is also good news, neither Rosenborg or Borussia Dortmund wins for them, because they still have zero points now, and the draw between Dortmund and Rosenborg makes them qualify There is hope again, of course, the premise is that this game against Alkmaar must be won.

Another game directly affected this one. At the press conference before the game, the speeches of the two head coaches were full of gunpowder.

"For us, this is a battle of life and death. We must win this game, otherwise we will only have the possibility of qualifying in theory. There is no doubt that Alkmaar has great strength. The Eredivisie leader, last season's double crown, but here is Portugal, with the support of [-] Boavista fans, I believe we will play a great game and become the first to beat Jiang Mu in an official game coach. We will play a new sky in the Champions League as we did with the Portuguese Super League last season. We are not afraid of anyone, but we will respect any opponent and we will fight until the end"

Boavista coach Pacheco declared war on Alkmaar directly.

After Jiang Mu learned that Dortmund and Rosenborg had a draw, his fighting spirit instantly rose exponentially. After all, the earlier he completed his career, the earlier he would end the passive situation of two-line or even three-line battles. The lineup was thin. This is what Jiang Mu is most worried about about Alkmaar. Don't look at Alkmaar now. In the second half of the schedule, it may not be so good. If there are too many injuries, Jiang Mu may have to give up the team in the third line. A certain line or even two lines.

"This must be a big battle. Boavista is very strong. If we look at them based on their first two games, we must be the ones who suffer. Now they are playing at home and the fans are so enthusiastic. They will definitely There is a better performance, but I believe we will win the game. This victory means a lot to us. We are rookies in the Champions League. It is impossible to come to the Champions League to win the championship. For us, playing one more game is a victory. Now we have the opportunity to go to the next level and we have to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

At 7:45 local time, the third round of the UEFA Champions League's peripheral group stage kicked off. Boavista played against the Dutch champion team Alkmaar at home.

Previously, Alkmaar won two games and ranked first in the group with 6 points. Boavista finished two games and ranked last in the group with zero points. This game is related to Boavista's The fate of the Champions League has attracted the attention of countless Boavista fans. Two hours before the start of the game, the stadium is open for fans to enter. Four or 10 minutes before the game, the stadium is already full.

The Portuguese commentator Pete on the broadcast booth is introducing the starting lineups of both sides of the game to the fans.

"Alkmaar is also playing a 433-[-]-[-] formation today, goalkeeper Cesar, four backs are Riise, Lucio, Ismail, Kronkamp, ​​three midfielders are Gattuso, Van Bommel and veteran Laura. Yi, three strikers Ronaldinho, Drogba and Dirk.

This is a very traditional Dutch lineup. The Brazilian Ronaldinho continued his position in the previous game. He continued to play as a right winger, while Drogba became a standard powerful center like Kluivert, and Cue Te is still in the position of left winger.

The back line and the goalkeeper continued their starts in the last two games, so there is nothing to say.

In the position of the defensive midfielder, it is still the combination of Gattuso and Van Bommel. Among them, Van Bommel is a variable, and the veteran Lai’s starting is a very unexpected change. Before the game, no one thought that Lai would appear in the starting lineup. Position, it seems that Jiang Mu wants to use the veteran's experience to attack Boavista's defense, because Lai's physical strength and age are impossible to defend, the midfielder uses a pure defensive player Gattuso, half a defensive player Van Bommel, a completely undefensive Ray, is a risky starting lineup.
