After playing Dortmund as usual, Alkmaar faced a tough challenge from Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.

This is a real battle for the top spot.

Ajax is still in a slump this season. Feyenoord has lost its momentum in the Champions League, but in the league it has lost the stability of last season, winning one game and losing one game, and gradually being dropped by Alkmaar by 10 points Many, with Alkmaar's stable state, being pulled out by ten points is basically equivalent to withdrawing from the championship.

Eindhoven played very well with one loss and one draw in 10 rounds, and now they are only three points behind Alkmaar, but their goal difference is 9 more than Alkmaar, almost scoring more in each round One goal, if Alkmaar loses this game, the top position will change hands.

In the long league, it is not terrible to temporarily lose the top position, but now Alkmaar has almost become a symbol of invincibility. Once the loss will have a great impact on the morale of the players and fans, there may even be a possibility of defeat. , Jiang Mu had to guard against it.

The rise of Eindhoven this season is closely related to their head coach Gretz. If Robson is an idealist, then Gretz is a realist. Paying attention to fame, he pays more attention to the ability and experience of players.

This season he recruited Eindhoven's former hero Heinz from the Bundesliga.

Heinz is not tall, only 170 cm, and is known for his fierce tackles and active assists. In 1988, he experienced the glorious era of PSV Eindhoven.That year, under the leadership of the young and promising head coach Guus Hiddink, after the team won the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup, at the Neckar Stadium in Stuttgart, Germany, Heinz and his teammates worked together to defeat the Portuguese Benfica Team, won the European Champions Cup.The team won the "Triple Crown" in history.

Heinz was already 36 years old at this time.And Gretz actually signed the contract with him until 2002, which made many Eindhoven people dissatisfied, thinking that Gretz was using power for personal gain, but Gretz soon proved him right.

Although Heinz is 36 years old, his fierce tackles and active running assists are still the same as when he was young. He has no physical problems at all, but his experience has allowed him to assist PSV to break the deadlock many times. It can be said to be one of the most dazzling players in the first ten rounds.

The 21-year-old Danish player Romedal is another great discovery of Gretz. Although Romedal came to Eindhoven last season, he has not been reused by Robson. Romedal placed him in the main position and gave full play to his offensive role. Romedal also rewarded Gretz with outstanding results. He assisted 10 goals in 5 rounds of the league and scored [-] goals, becoming the right The most frightening fast knife on the road.

In addition, the versatile backcourt player Booma has also grown up this season. Booma can play as a central defender, left back and left midfielder. He is fast, good at dribbling, and solid in defense. He is a panacea for Gretz in emergencies.

The veteran Nellis, who was going to transfer, also stayed. He and Ruud van Nistelrooy are still the sharpest attacking combination in the Eredivisie.

Before this battle with Alkmaar, Belgian coach Gretz said that this is a battle that determines the direction of the league.

"I dare not say that we are the strongest team in the Eredivisie outside of AZ Alkmaar, but we are definitely the team with the best form outside of AZ Alkmaar. Definitely. This league is very important to us and the entire Eredivisie. If we are in the best condition and cannot hold back the progress of Alkmaar, maybe there will be no suspense for this season's championship. This is a damage to the Eredivisie , fans need suspense and excitement."

Jiang Mu didn't want to be the target of public criticism. Being put on the stove was not a good feeling. He immediately refuted Gretz on TV and said: "There has been no suspense in the Eredivisie for hundreds of years. The champions have always been Eindhoven, Aja Kex and Feyenoord, now that we have just won the Eredivisie championship, some people say that it has hurt the Eredivisie. Breaking the monopoly of the top three is in the best interest of the fans."

Although Jiang Mu used the word shameless, Gretz did not argue with Jiang Mu. He is a very smart person. Fans and the media will forgive him for any inappropriate remarks. After all, he is only 26 years old, and if he is as outspoken as Jiang Mu, he will definitely be criticized by the media and fans.Ben Hack last season is a good example. What he should do now is to stop Alkmaar. Only in this way can Jiang Mu's reputation and status in the Eredivisie be hit.

On October 10, the 31th round of the Eredivisie League was held at Alkmaar's home court in Dehout.

After the start of the game, Eindhoven, who played away, put up a 442 formation with an offensive and defensive balance. Rugink, back four: Addo, Oyer, Hovland, Heinz, goalkeeper, Waterrus.

Alkmaar is in a 433 formation. All the main players on the previous rotation are on the field, the goalkeeper Cesar, the four defenders are Kronkamp, ​​Lucio, Ismail, Riise; the three midfielders are Van Bommel , Gattuso, Ray, three strikers: Drogba, Ronaldinho, Dirk.

This is the strongest lineup when Alkmaar played the 433 lineup. This lineup has already shown its power in the promotion battle of the Champions League. This lineup also showed that Jiang Mu wants to win this game. determination.

After the start of the game, Alkmaar dominated the offense. Ronaldinho and Dirk Dirk tore up the defense of Eindhoven's two wings. Fullbacks Kronkamp and Riise often appeared in the 442 formation. where it should appear.The veteran Lai is in the middle to support and connect the left and right sides, and also inserts into the front of the penalty area to attack from time to time, but you can't count on Lai when defending. After all, he is 34 years old, and he is not Heinz or Zanetti. Such a physical madman.But having Gattuso and Van Bommel in the backcourt is enough. As long as Van Bommel does not step in to attack, the opponent will not only want to break through Alkmaar's defense, but they will have to pay a big price if they want to pass the double midfielder. .

However, Gretz's game arrangement is also very targeted. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored 31 goals last season and has not yet won the top scorer, is at the top. The future king of the small penalty area needs at least two players to watch However, beside him is the clever and slippery Nilis who looks like a loach, so Alkmaar's defense has to be extra careful.

However, the most troublesome thing for Jiang Mu is the speed of the midfielder Romedal. If Alkmaar wants to attack, it is inevitable to leave a large gap in the backcourt. At this time, Romedal's speed will appear very fast. Fatal. At this time, whether Alkmaar's left-back Riise is assisting or defending is also a problem. In Jiang Mu's system, the offense of the full-back is not an embellishment, but a part of the attack system.

After the game started, Eindhoven's defensive counterattack also confirmed Jiang Mu's worries.

Alkmaar put Drogba in the center, not expecting Drogba to break through PSV's defense alone, but hoping that the two sides would open PSV's defense and then form a strong attack in the center , if the wing cannot break through, there is no chance of a strong attack in the center. Hofland and Oyer are both powerful defenders. They need to have a body and a sense of consciousness. Although Drogba is strong, he cannot deal with it alone. Two central defenders, just like Ruud van Nistelrooy is too strong to deal with Lucio and Ismail.

And on the wing, Dirk and Ado are pretty much the same. Whoever beats depends on his state. Ronaldinho is Alkmaar's trump card.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Gretz not to study Ronaldinho, who performed shockingly in the Champions League. Although the veteran left back Heinz is 36 years old, his physical fitness and explosive power are not inferior to those of young people. At the same time, his experienced Like an old monster, the 19-year-old Ronaldinho is obviously too young to kill such an old monster.

Heinz had long been prepared for Ronaldinho's fake moves. He knew he couldn't guess Ronaldinho's fake moves, so he didn't guess. He followed Ronaldinho closely all the time, not letting Ronaldinho take the ball. Even a magician can't do magic tricks without giving him props.

If Ronaldinho retreats to get the ball and kills him with the ball, Heinz will call his teammates immediately, and two or even three people will help defend Ronaldinho, so that Ronaldinho's breakthrough will have no effect. , Heinz made a decisive foul, preferring to give Alkmaar a free kick to destroy Ronaldinho's breakthrough.

The game lasted for nearly 15 minutes. Ronaldinho didn't even make a successful bottom pass or cut inside. Ronaldinho, who had been invincible before, seemed a little impatient because of his offensive offense. He returned to the backcourt to get the ball and wanted to force a breakthrough, but he was old With the help of Vogel, Heinz made a fierce and decisive tackle, and passed Ronaldinho's tackle to Brooking.

Bruckink dribbled the ball along the wing to the center. Before Van Bommel's block, the big foot passed to Romedal on the right, and Romedal launched a fast break.

Romedal's technique is very good, he headed a little, strode away from Dirk, and went straight to the left back Riise.

Riise didn't dare to be careless, and repeatedly retreated sideways, accelerating himself in advance.He is a Norwegian international and Rommedal is a Danish international. The two are more familiar than others. He knows Romedal's speed. He thinks he is not slow, but if Romedal sprints first, he can't even do anything. No, not even a lot of chances for fouls.

Romedall accelerated and stopped twice in a row without throwing Riise away, and he didn't dare to overtake directly. At this time, he saw that Nilis had reached his side in front of him, and immediately passed the ball to Nilis.

Nelis handled the ball very cleverly. He didn't miss the ball or stop it. Instead, he stepped on the ball and swiped it back with the sole of his foot. The ball was in front of Van Nistelrooy. .

Nelis' step was so smart that almost all the defensive players were attracted to him, but he paused for less than 0.1 seconds, and then dialed to Van Nistelrooy. At this time, whether it was Ismail Or Lucio, or Gattuso, both saw his action, but they had no time to react, giving Van Nistelrooy 0.1 seconds to catch the ball, and this 0.1 seconds made Alkmaar's defensive players pay paid a heavy price.
