The match between Alkmaar and Ajax can be called a derby in a broad sense. The cities where the two teams are located are only more than 40 kilometers apart. Even the jerseys of the two teams are very similar. Before, Ajax did not pay attention to this little brother who is not far away, because they are in two different leagues and there are not many opportunities for the two sides to play against each other.

With the arrival of Jiang Mu, Alkmaar is like a dragon leaping out of the abyss, soaring into the sky, and won the double crown of the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup as a newly promoted team. The competition between the two teams has suddenly increased. Big, the contest between the two sides not only attracted a large number of fans, but also attracted the pursuit of the media. The confrontation between the two teams has gradually become one of the most important games in the Eredivisie.

However, this season Alkmaar continues to be strong, not only in the Eredivisie, but also in the Champions League, and has achieved the best record in the Eredivisie in recent years.After Ajax's stars left one after another, not only their strength is getting worse and worse, but their state is also getting more and more depressed. They even have no qualifications to compete in the Eredivisie. Now it has become that Alkmaar doesn't take Ajax seriously at all. They will play against Ajax three days after the Champions League, but Jiang Mu actually gave the team a half-day holiday.

Next year will be Ajax's centennial celebration. Jiang Mu's actions have made Ajax's president and fans hate it so much that they are all gearing up before the game. They want to give Alkmaar a little color.

But Ajax also knew that their anger could only boost their morale. They no longer had the strength to compete with Alkmaar. They bought the De Boer brothers and Litmanning in Barcelona, ​​and Van der Sar After leaving the Apennines and falling into the arms of the old woman, after Blind retired, not only the golden generation of 95 all left, but even Olsen's team was only left with Avilazer and Glenshire. Chivu, Maheras and other young motley crews.

The process of the game also proved this point. Alkmaar, who played twice a week, still had the upper hand at home. These young players have experienced the test of the Champions League and become more stable. They conceded a goal in the first half. , unhurriedly put pressure on Ajax, as if the winning ticket is in the chest.

The leading Ajax was worried about gains and losses. In the second half, they messed up their positions. A mistake caused Ronaldinho's single-handed goal. Then Drogba made another goal with a violent long-range shot. Alkmaar took the lead. Although In the end, Ajax fought back desperately, but when the right time, place and people were not on their side, Ajax was powerless and could only accept the fate of losing 1:2.

Next, in the 15th round away game against Vidis, Alkmaar made persistent efforts, and did not give Vidis, the No. Leading the Eredivisie standings.

Although the Eredivisie schedule has not yet passed halfway, the Dutch media believe that the ownership of the championship has lost suspense. The golden body of defeat.

But now, neither Jiang Mu nor Alkmaar players, nor Alkmaar club officials, care about the outcome of the league, the Champions League wins, and the bonuses poured into their pockets. It was the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, and they made 740 million euros. After reaching the top 16 group stage, they got another 300 million. They won another 80 after winning Chelsea. So far, Alkmaar has earned 1120 million euros. , so that even if the club owner Dirk no longer invests during the winter break, Alkmaar still has funds to sign up.

1120 million euros is a drop in the bucket for a giant, but for a small club like Alkmaar, it is a lot of money. Alkmaar people who are in desperate need of money are all desperate to win the Champions League Every game, but the domestic league and cup games are not at all concerned.

Alkmaar's second group match is at home against Marseille, which lost in the first game. Although Alkmaar is better than Marseille in terms of venue, morale, physical fitness and unity, morale will change, and the venue can be changed. To adapt, what Alkmaar can rely on is their accumulated physical fitness and unity in summer training.

For two normal teams, physical fitness and unity are not the key factors in deciding the game, but what Marseille lacks most now is unity. They lost so easily at home in the last game, and they have almost no resistance. There was a problem in their locker room, and Marseille's coach Kobis couldn't hold it down. As a result, Marseille, with its elite soldiers, staged a farce of non-resistance.

After two weeks of adjustments, Kobis not only failed to solve the problem, but also became more and more tense in the locker room. Not long ago, Blanco, Dugarry and Ravanelli were rumored to be leaving Marseille. , It’s fine if they leave at the end of the season. There are many such rumors, almost every star has such rumors, but Blanco, Dugarry and Ravanelli are rumored to be leaving Marseille during the winter break.Blanco's destination was Inter Milan, Dugari wanted to go to Bordeaux, and Ravanelli's transfer target turned out to be Lazio, which had just won them. This made the Marseilles seriously doubt Ravanelli's professionalism. Did he try his best in the first Champions League group match, and did he release water.

It is the scariest thing to have a problem with the unity of a team, because when there is unity, you don't feel its importance, but once you lose it, you can hardly do anything.

So regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, Marseille's head coach Kobis and club chairman Markand have come out to refute the rumors in order to pass the two games before the winter break smoothly.

The president of the club, Markand, said: "In the past 14 days, we have lived in pain. We have lost in both Ligue 16 and the Champions League. There are rumors about the team. It seems that all kinds of bad situations have come to Marseille. Blanco, Core players such as Dugarry and Ravanelli are rumored to leave during the winter break, and may go to teams that compete with us, such as Bordeaux and Lazio, but I can boldly tell the fans, don’t worry, they will not Will go, let alone go to our opponent's team during the winter break, we are not short of money, let alone do stupid things, now we must calm down, because there is still a lot of work waiting for us to do.Kobis needs a quiet environment to carry out his work. We are in a group of death. Small mistakes will cost us the most. Everyone must trust Kobis and his players. They have led us to the final Round of [-], I believe they will do better. "

Kobis was very angry at the reporter spreading such rumors. He said: "I am considering suing those unscrupulous reporters. It is really outrageous that they make up news like this. I don't deny that we are in a difficult time now, but Bran. Coe, Dugarry and Ravanelli are our core, they will not leave, even if they want to leave, they will not be in the camp of our competitors, no club will do such a business, Unless the club is poor and crazy, completely disregarding the results and the feelings of the fans."

With the current enemy, Marseille's players also chose to fight against each other instead of infighting. Soon the three players who were rumored to leave also stood up and said that they would not leave Marseille this season. Their current goal is to help the team in the future. Advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and fight for a place in the Champions League in the league.

Although a few fans who knew the inside story didn't believe these rumors, most fans still stood on the side of the club and the team. More than 2000 fans said they would go to the Netherlands to support Marseille.

Regardless of the problem in the locker room, it is basically solved, but the player's injury problem still plagues Marseille. The team's organizer De La Pena has not recovered from his injury. For training, whether he can appear in the game against Alkmaar depends on the team doctor.Another worry is the captain Pires. He recently caught a cold and has a runny nose. This is not a big problem, but it is also very annoying, at least it may affect his performance.

However, captain Pires still expressed his optimism about the team's going to Alkmaar. He said: "The team has a lot of problems now, but I believe that before the big competition, everyone will unite, overcome difficulties and strive for victory. Some people say The underdog must win, we are the underdog now, we can't lose anymore, there are only six games in the group stage, if we lose one more game, our chances of qualifying will be very small. In this game against Alkmaar, we We must ensure that we do not lose, and this is also our bottom line."

The defensive iron gate Gala also took the initiative to ask for a fight. When he was doing a charity event on a TV station, he said, "I feel that my body has returned to its best state in the past. I hope to help the team. Alkmaar's attack If you think about Chelsea, if we want to score points away from home, we must stabilize the backcourt and then wait for an opportunity to score."

Alkmaar and Marseille are in Group D, and their games are at the back. In the game that started online, the strong team began to return to its true colors. In the first game, Barcelona, ​​which was tied by Hertha Berlin, raised the butcher knife and defeated it 5:0 Sparta Prague.Defending champions Manchester United beat Valencia 3-0 at home.Real Madrid and Bayern have also won Dynamo Kiev and Rosenborg by a large score.

Seeing that the strong team is getting stronger and facing the challenge of Marseille, Alkmaar certainly will not dare to be careless. For them, there is a temptation as big as qualifying for the group, and that is money, because the annual salary of Alkmaar players is It is linked to winning. A Champions League victory is 80 euros, a draw is 40 euros, and a loss is not a point. When the Alkmaar players think of the colorful euros, their hearts are hot, and they wish they could win Play all six group games.In this way, even if they are eliminated in the quarterfinals, they will still make a fortune.There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, which is another reason why these young people have an extremely strong desire to fight and are full of resilience.
