magic coach

Group D is the real group of death. Any team will bring Alkmaar a lot of trouble. No team dares to say that it will win.

In such a group, Jiang Mu's biggest headache is how to get out of the group. He has communicated with Zhinao Chang'e No. [-] many times, but the answer given by Chang'e No. Above Marr, if Alkmaar wants to qualify from the group, he only has to fight one game at a time, and then see what happens on the spot, because football is the most unpredictable sport, and the outcome of the game is not entirely clear. Depends on strength.

The group stage is a two-leg home and away game. In the first round, Alkmaar will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea, the strongest team in the group. This makes Jiang Mu even more troublesome, because Alkmaar is a young team. If you play well, you will often perform super-level. Even if the gods block and kill the gods, it is not impossible for the devil to block and kill the devil.

Once the start is unfavorable, the morale of the team is suppressed, and the young people who are seriously emotional are likely to collapse. In this death group, a single loss may lead to a complete loss.

So Jiang Mu attaches great importance to the first round with Chelsea. Of course, winning is what he wishes for. Not losing is Jiang Mu's bottom line. If there is a tie, Jiang Mu hopes to play tragically on the basis of the tie. One point, this is also helpful to the morale of the team.

However, the reality is grim. Chelsea's lineup is very strong. Although Alkmaar defeated Dortmund, Dortmund's strength has been greatly reduced at this time, and it can no longer be compared with Chelsea and Lazio.Alkmaar's overall strength is worse than Chelsea.

If they change teams, Alkmaar will definitely resort to the heirloom tactics of defensive counterattack in the away game. If it doesn't work, just put a bus at the door.

But facing Chelsea, Jiang Mu couldn't use this magic weapon, because Chelsea's team included the Italian bantam Zola.

The free kick of this little Italian got the true biography of the football king Maradona, and he is unrivaled in football.

Wearing the number 25 at Chelsea, Zola quickly won the hearts of the fans, scoring with a free-kick against Newcastle at home to current manager Vialli; a month later, against Everton at home , he scored for Chelsea for the first time, relying on a direct free kick from 35 yards.

Facing the world-recognized free-kick master, how dare Jiang Mu put up an iron bucket formation. After setting up, if the opponent scores, he can only adjust three positions. It is impossible to completely change the starting formation and playing style. Law.

In fact, even without Zola's trump card, Jiang Mu didn't have much confidence in blocking Chelsea's terrifying attack cluster. Although Chelsea was a little bit of internal turmoil at this time, any of those stars had the ability to solve problems alone. Didier Deschamps, Di Mateo, Wise, Poyet, Flo, Laudrup Jr., Karasic...these names are resounding, and it is also a headache.

In the team's pre-match training session, Jiang Mu said to his team: "Brothers, you already know what opponent you will face in the Champions League group stage. Chelsea. How is it, how does it feel?"

Drogba raised his hand: "Coach, my heart is beating faster. But it's not because of nervousness. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this game!"

"Yes, coach, we are all looking forward to it!"

"It's interesting to play against a strong team!"

Seeing these players gearing up, Jiang Mu was in a good mood. Although seeking to compete could not improve his strength, it could increase his chances of winning. He smiled and said, "Do you want us to lose?"

"No, who said we will lose? We think the stronger the opponent, the better we will perform." Ronaldinho said with a smile, "Coach, we have confidence in you."

"What's the use of having confidence in me? It's not me playing games, but your attitude is good. No matter what kind of opponent you meet, you can't lose your fighting spirit and confidence. Now, go to training!"

What Jiang Mu strengthened in training was the team's offense.

After repeated thinking in Jiang Mu, and repeated contests in the simulation game "Magic Coach", Jiang Mu finally admitted that there is almost no way to survive in the iron bucket formation, and there is still a chance of survival when he pulls out to fight against his opponent , since this is the case, Jiang Mu will definitely choose to attack, he would rather die a heroic death than live a careless life.

In fact, Chelsea has been in turmoil recently, with various negative news about the dressing room emerging one after another, and disrespect and bombardment of coach Vialli abound.These are all things that Jiang Mu can use at that time.Because the contradiction means that the cooperation is not so tacit, and it also means that the head coach may send some unsuitable players because of the contradiction, and this will definitely reduce Chelsea's combat effectiveness.

Jiang Mu was determined to play against his opponent Chelsea in the away game, but he repeatedly expressed the need to strengthen defense when interviewed by the media. Jiang Mu hoped to paralyze the opponent and let Vialli send a wrong lineup.

When interviewed by the Dutch media on the 21st, Jiang Mu said: "Group D is the group of death. The strengths of the four teams are not much different, but Chelsea must be stronger. We are going to Stamford Bridge, which must be very difficult. We have to do a good job of defending. The group stage is a two-leg home and away game. In the away game, we hope to get a point. This idea is not conservative. Among the two teams at the same level, the home team will definitely perform well. Be stronger."

After arriving in London on the 22nd, when Jiang Mu was interviewed by a British reporter, Jiang Mu said: "Chelsea's most terrifying thing is the midfield. Their attack power is the strongest among all 16 teams. We want to win against them. We have to play counterattack tactics. If we want to get a point, we must also play defensive counterattack."

The defensive players of the Alkmaar team also stood up and spoke. Gattuso said: "Vialli is one of my idols. I am proud of him. Although Chelsea is a British team, they are better than the Italian football team. The team is also like the Italian team. It must be very difficult to break their defense, so we must not concede the ball first. As a defensive midfielder, my task is to mark the opponent's forward and midfield core players. I believe in myself Able to freeze opponents.

Van Bommel said: "Of course I want to score goals and assists, but I think the players must obey the coach's tactical arrangements. If we can defend well, then no matter one point or three points, we have one point of credit. If we If you don't defend well, it doesn't matter how many goals you score in the frontcourt."

The compliments from Jiang Mu and the players from Alkmaar paralyzed Vialli and Chelsea to a certain extent. Vialli had regarded himself as the top team in Group D, and when he was complimented by his opponents, he would naturally feel a little flattered.

In fact, during the national team match day, Vialli put all his energy into the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Of course they practiced the offensive style of play, but after Jiang Mu's touting, Vialli still practiced the offensive , but the focus has become to break the dense defense.The high center forward Flo, who was in poor form, was reused, and the 33-year-old veteran Zola, who was in average physical fitness, also put on a training vest that symbolized the main force.

After arriving in London, Jiang Mu first held another short meeting. He did not talk about the game at the meeting, but emphasized discipline and asked the players to go to public places as little as possible before the game, because there are many football hooligans in the UK. Chelsea and Ark In a battle like Mal's, the fans are nervous, and it is inevitable that some unpleasant things will happen. If there are some conflicts between fans' homes at this time, it will definitely have a great impact on the emotions of the players.

After the meeting, the players had lunch, took a nap, recharged their batteries, and prepared to get used to the grass at Stamford Bridge in the afternoon.

Jiang Mu will go to Stamford Bridge to adapt to the field, which has also attracted the attention of many fans of the home team and the visiting team. Chelsea will not give up this good opportunity to spy on the opponent. During the adaptive training in Alkmaar, their fans , their opponents' fans, reporters, and Chelsea's scouts and coaches, the entire stand was actually filled with more than one-third of the fans, which made Chelsea's coaches very afraid.

When Jiang Mu came to do adaptive training, he had already thought about the opponent's peeping. He didn't arrange his starting lineup, but created a system with three midfielders, played defense, and didn't even use much counterattack. . "

Jiang Mu's trick once again deceived Chelsea coach Vialli, allowing him to continue to strengthen his preconceived prejudices.

After returning to the hotel from Stamford Bridge, the players took a shower and took a short rest. Jiang Mu took the players to the night market together.

Although Jiang Mu hoped that the players would not go to public places, but just arrived in London, locking the players in the hotel will definitely affect the mood of the players, and they are all released to play, and they are worried about problems, so Jiang Mu personally Go out and take the players to the night market to enjoy the exotic atmosphere.

While Jiang Mu was taking the players to the night market to have fun, Chelsea coach Vialli was still studying the starting lineup in his office.

He has already determined that the opponent will play intensive defense, but it is very important to play which appearances. Now the team is in internal strife. Leboeuf, Zola, Deschamps, Desailly and other French gangs have all spoken and attacked him a few days ago. Needless to say, he Zola and Deschamps will definitely start. Zola is a good assistant to break through the dense defense. Deschamps is the team's anchor, but Leboeuf and Desailly are two, Vialli needs to win One, because the opponent has to defend intensively, he must play a speedy central defender, who can have the ability to chase back when the opponent counterattacks.Although Leboeuf and Desailly have rich experience and outstanding abilities, they are too old.

However, Lebouf and Desailly have just complained. Vialli is worried about causing greater dissatisfaction on such an important occasion as the Champions League. However, considering the importance of the Champions League to Chelsea and himself, Vialli still Ruthless, he decided to take Lebouf and let the Nigerian Baba Yaro play central defender.
