Chapter 230 Became a Dark Horse

Missing a penalty kick was a devastating blow to Boavista, and then Boavista played without fighting spirit. No matter how hard the fans cheered, they couldn't play at the level of the league. The frontcourt pressing could not be maintained, and each leg was as heavy as lead.

In fact, the frontcourt press consumes physical energy, and it is difficult to last 10 minutes. In the later stage, it is mostly supported by spirit. Boavista's players do not even score a penalty kick, so this spirit does not exist.

There will also be a strong dialogue with Feyenoord on the weekend, and Alkmaar is not interested in killing them all. They will be satisfied if they can win and get a winning bonus of 80 yuan, so there is no big offensive in the back. Replacing the veteran Ray, replacing Riise, letting the main players rest to play in the league, as long as the opponent does not oppress, they will not counterattack, the last ten minutes is almost garbage time, and finally Alkmaar defeated 3:1 in the away game Boavista won three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage, because Dortmund and Rosenborg drew. As long as Alkmaar wins in the next game, they will definitely qualify for the group.

At the press conference after the game, Jiang Mu was very satisfied with the game. He said: "Although Boavista lost the first two Champions League games, they are not a weak team. Their style of play is very good. Advanced, their offensive is very fierce, but luck is not good enough, the first two games also gave them too much pressure, so that they lost to us, their strength is more than that.

I would like to thank Ronaldinho, Drogba, Rai, Riise, Cesar and other players, they performed very well today, especially Drogba, his third goal is completely a reflection of personal ability, and My tactics didn't matter much, the goal shattered the opponent's dream of an equalizer and sealed the victory.

We are now the top of the group and are in a very good position to qualify. As long as we win one more game, we can qualify, but we can’t be careless. As long as we haven’t qualified, everything is possible. Fans, please don’t be impatient , don't praise us too much, we will be proud, everyone think about the miracle when we were in the first place, and then we will calm down. "

Pacheco, who has lost three games in a row, is naturally in a very bad mood. He said disappointedly: "We also hoped to make a difference in the European arena, but it turns out that we are still only a small club. There is a huge gap between the rich teams. Without better quality players and greater investment, it is very unrealistic for Portuguese Super League teams to make a difference in the Champions League. Although our I was not lucky enough to hit the goal post and failed to score a few times, but our loss today is not wronged. We lost to a stronger opponent than us. They have better players and they also have More chances to beat us."

For a new team in the Champions League, winning one or two games is not a big deal, but winning three games in a row, almost securing a qualifying place just after halfway through the group stage, and becoming the only team with three consecutive victories. A little bit of a miracle.After the game, the major media are unanimously optimistic that Alkmaar is the dark horse of this Champions League.

German "Kicker" said when summarizing the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage: "This round of competition is calm and strong and weak. The previous three teams that have won two consecutive victories, Marseille, Porto and Barcelona, ​​either draw or lose. None of them were able to win three consecutive victories, and Alkmaar became the only team with three consecutive victories. They accumulated 9 points, while Dortmund and Rosenborg, the second and third in the group, both accumulated 4 points. In the next game, only Alkmaar If they win, they will become the first team to qualify from the group stage, this is definitely a super dark horse, and Jiang Mu is the one who discovered and created this dark horse, he is worthy of the title of a magical coach."

The British "Sun" said: "After the three rounds of the group stage, the situation of qualifying for other groups is still chaotic, and Group C has basically locked a place for qualifying, that is, the Dutch newcomer Alkmaar, which is almost amazing. It was unimaginable, but it did happen. This Eredivisie team will be located in Alkmaar, a small city with only 9 people, but they have created the miracle of a newly promoted horse winning the league and cup double. Bringing it to the UEFA Champions League, can they replicate the miracle of the league? If that kind of result really happens, it will definitely be a shocking miracle that sensationalizes football all over the world."

The French "Team Daily" said after the game: "Unfortunately, Marseille failed to win three consecutive victories. The defending champion Manchester United taught them a good lesson, but it is not shameful to lose to the defending champion. Marseille's qualifying situation is still optimistic. As long as they Can maintain the current state. After Marseille and Porto lost successively, and Barcelona drew with Arsenal, the little-known small club Alkmaar became the only team with three consecutive victories. The biggest dark horse in the UEFA Champions League."

Spain's "Daily Sport" commented on the battle between Alkmaar and Boavista: "This should have been an unknown game. Both teams are teams that are not well-known to fans. But because of Alkmaar's outstanding performance, this game has received widespread attention. The two small clubs have different fates. Boavista has lost all three games and has basically lost the possibility of qualifying. They won all games and became the only team with three consecutive victories, stealing the limelight from all the giants including the defending champion."

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord both lost, and they also lost to teams such as Glasgow Rangers and Sparta Prague, which disappointed the Dutch media and fans. After the game, the away game was easy Alkmaar, who defeated Boavista, became the object of frantic pursuit by the media and fans.

When Alkmaar returned to the Netherlands from the Iberian Peninsula, at least 2000 people came to pick him up at Amsterdam Airport. Reporters from major media outlets in the Netherlands went there and treated Alkmaar like a hero.

The Dutch "Telegraph" said: "After the failure of the two top teams in the Eredivisie, Alkmaar became the only team to defend the honor of the Eredivisie. Before that, they were always considered to be soy saucers in the Champions League, but now they have become The most dazzling team in the UEFA Champions League, Drogba, Riise, Gattuso, Thomasson and other young people have emerged in the UEFA Champions League. Ronaldinho is known as the second alien, the successor of the future champion, of course we cannot Forget Jiang Mu who trained and cultivated these talented youngsters, the youngest coach in Europe, he is the creator of all these miracles, the true soul of Alkmaar..."

The Netherlands' "Daily Football" used "The Miracle Coach Continues His Miracle" as the headline on the front page, "...Jiang Mu brought the miracle to the Champions League. They won all three games and became the only team in Europe. Winning both in the Champions League and the league, they are also the only team in Europe. When the top three of the Eredivisie fell into a downturn, they turned out to defend the honor of the Eredivisie. Their current performance reminds us of the original 95 years Although we know that it is difficult for them to win the Champions League like that young Ajax team, we believe that they will definitely have a jaw-dropping road to the Champions League."

Almost the whole of Europe is praising Alkmaar, Ronaldinho and Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu has maintained enough calmness and low profile. After returning to Alkmaar after the end of the Champions League, he gave the players half a day False, and then took the initiative to lower the pressure on the players at the press conference, he said: "I know what we have done, and I know what kind of praise we should receive. Excessive comments are not good for us. It’s all the same. We haven’t even made it out of the group. I’m worried that we’ll fall and get hurt. I’ll give the players an afternoon off and hope they’ll think about it when they go home to rest. Thinking, what have we done, we should be praised like this, we have defended the Eredivisie, or reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, since we have not achieved anything, then we should calmly play the next game against Feyenoord Contest."

Facing Alkmaar's record, their opponent Feyenoord in the next round of the league had to bow their heads. Benhak said before the game, "Now we have to admit the fact that Alkmaar is the best player in the Eredivisie. A strong team is stronger than the top three in the Eredivisie. The Champions League is the best touchstone. It is an amazing record to win three consecutive victories in the Champions League, a field full of strong players. This game is in Alkmaar We don’t expect to win, I’m satisfied if we can get one point. After three losses, the Champions League is basically over for us. We will put all our energy on the Eredivisie. I know the league champion It is also difficult for us, but the league is a long-term process, everyone has a chance, not like the Champions League, after three poor games, you are basically out."

It is not a good thing for a strong team to keep a low profile before the game. Sure enough, in the match against Feyenoord on October 10, Alkmaar encountered great difficulties at home. After one game, they still did not score a goal. This is extremely rare for Alkmaar. In the games they participated in, there were less than 3 games without a goal at halftime. What made Jiang Mu even more upset was that, They didn't even have a few effective shots, and they didn't even have a threatening shot. This data means that their offense did not threaten the opponent's defense.

Although the opponent Feyenoord did not score, but Benhak made it very clear before the game that their goal is to break Alkmaar's record of victory by one point. As long as this goal is achieved, Alkmaar's morale will be greatly improved. It will be a big blow, after all, Alkmaar is now a strong player, while Feyenoord is in a weak position.

Seeing that Feyenoord only left Cruz in front, and almost all of their troops stayed in their own half, Jiang Mu was a little bit dumbfounded. He said to Lin Nazhou and Bodden beside him: "Coach Benhak is really good!" Let go of yourself."

Lin Nazhou smiled wryly: "I really didn't expect that coach Benhak, who has always liked to play offensive football, would put down the iron bucket. It seems that this reputation is very annoying."

Borden has now become a close member of Jiang Mu's coaching staff, he said with a smile: "This also shows how you forced Benhak, maybe Ajax and PSV will deal with you like this in the future. "

With a wry smile, Jiang Mu said, "Then I will use a few more heavy hammers."
