Chapter 258 Becomes a Narrow Victory——

The biggest problem with this Marseille team is that people are lax. Among the 11 starting players on the field, at least 7 people have the idea of ​​transferring. Even the captain Pires, who scored a beautiful goal, is almost sure to move to Arsenal next season. Na, this is a very terrible thing. It is doubtful how much affection a player who is about to leave Marseille has for Marseille.

Therefore, when encountering great difficulties, these players did not use great perseverance to overcome difficulties, fight actively, and win the victory. Instead, they hoped that the game would end as soon as possible, that they would get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, and go to a broader world to develop .

In the game, the Marseille players were afraid of fighting and did not dare to confront the Alkmaar players. Most of the half of the ball was snatched by the Alkmaar players, and the ball possession time and shooting opportunities were also getting less and less.

In the 70th minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball from 40 meters away from the midfield. He first swayed Morris, who was rushing forward, and then wiped the old and slow Blanco on the line of the penalty area. After breaking into the penalty area, he calmly pushed the goal away. Corner, but at this time Marseille goalkeeper Polato performed bravely. He blocked the ball out of the baseline with his legs, turning Ronaldinho's wonderful goal into a boring corner.

Two minutes later, Ronaldinho made a comeback. He dribbled the ball straight to the penalty area. With Blanco stuck in his position, Ronaldinho twisted his butt a few times, and lightly poked his right foot. Coe and Martin passed through the only gap between the two defenders, and Thomason shot out from the side and rear like a ghost, and easily scored 2 meters in front of the goal, rewriting the score to 2:3.

At this moment of lightning and flint, Ronaldinho conquered everyone with his beautiful footwork and exquisite assists.This amazing stabbing pass not only completely despaired the Marseille fans who came to help, but also made the commentator of ESPN applaud: "Amazing Ronaldo! How did he stuff the ball in the past? It's like magic! Thomason's running position is also amazing, which is the icing on the cake for Ronaldo's assist..."

At this moment, Thomasson's goal almost directly declared the end of the game. With Marseille's current state, in less than 20 minutes left, it is impossible for them to tie the gap between the two goals.

At this time, most of the players in Marseille seemed to have given up the idea of ​​equalizing. The offensive was not as strong as that of Alkmaar. Kobis couldn't bear it and replaced Blanco with the last attacking midfielder Leruy. However, there was still no one. At this time, the army was defeated like a mountain, and Kobis could no longer have any impact on the team.

However, seeing that the opponent had no power to fight back and their side was still leading by two goals, the players of Alkmaar also relaxed their tight heartstrings, and they failed to seize the opportunity to score several counterattacks.

In the 87th minute of the game, Alkmaar poured the ball from the back court. Only Bakayoko was doing unnecessary pressing in front of Marseille. He was alone in the front court, and the pressing was just like that, let alone the fans Neither the player nor the players would think that they could create any opportunities, and even Bakayoko himself would never have thought that an opportunity would come.

However, the opportunity came like this. When Lucio made a cross pass, the turf turned over when he tackled the ball. The speed of the ball was a bit slow and rolled onto it and changed. It was not forward, but toward Ismay. Roll behind you.

Ismail was slow to turn around at first, so it was okay to move forward, but this time backward, before he turned around, Bakayoko, who was chasing the ball, saw a bright light in his eyes, "Ah! The opportunity has come!" He He rushed over with all his strength and grabbed the ball before Ismail turned around.

Cesar's spirit is also very slack, otherwise he can get the ball when he hits, or at least destroy it, but it was too late when he saw it, and when he reacted to attack, Bakayoko had already started shooting up.

Cesar fell to the ground to save, but could not prevent the ball from entering the net.

2:3

God rewards those who work hard. When it was impossible to score a goal, Bakayoko picked up a goal and woke up the fans from their doze. There was only one goal difference, and everyone came to their spirits, including Marseille players and coaches.

Kobis rushed to the sideline excitedly, shouted a few words of congratulations, and immediately directed his players to press up, "Attack! Hurry up and attack!"

Jiang Mu was also nervous. He came to the sidelines and warned his players not to play with fire in the backcourt, and persisted for the last 5 minutes.

The game that could have been easily won became tense because of Lucio's missed pass. Marseille's offense was not weak. After seeing hope, everyone attacked with one heart and one mind, making the defense originally very stable Alkmaar was also a bit overwhelmed. They had to use consecutive fouls to disrupt the opponent's smooth offensive. Van Bommel, Riise and Drogba all received yellow cards.

Fortunately, Marseille's physical strength at the moment is also exhausted. Although they created two opportunities, they failed to grasp them. De La Pena's shot was weak and was blocked by Cesar. Pires' long-range shot was slightly missed. The road missed the post, and in the end Alkmaar defeated Marseille 3:2 at home and won the two consecutive victories in the group stage.

After the game, Jiang Mu severely criticized Lucio, warning him not to be careless at any moment. Anything can happen on the football field. His behavior is likely to cause a series of bad effects. If there is no Bacca For Joko's goal, there may be no yellow cards for Van Bommel, Riise and Drogba. These yellow cards may cause their suspension in a certain game, which will give Jiang Mu's formation cause trouble.

However, Jiang Mu's criticism of Lucio was in the locker room. In the post-match press conference, Jiang Mu did not criticize his players. He said that his players were very young and there was a little emotional turmoil within 90 minutes. Fluctuations are very normal, they have done well enough, the group stage has passed two rounds, which team has won two consecutive victories, only Real Madrid, Porto and Alkmaar, Jiang Mu asked the media not to criticize his players, young people Needs more encouragement than criticism.

Marseille's head coach Kobis was very disappointed with the result of the game. He said sadly after the game, "We didn't seize the opportunity. The opponents are very strong. They are not dark horses. They have the strength to become prince charming. We have not recovered from death yet. The group is out, but I may have been out, but no matter what, I will bless Marseille and hope Marseille can achieve good results at the end of the season."

Kobis’ premonition was not wrong. On the second day after Marseille’s loss, Marseille’s chairman Marcande announced that Kobis would no longer be the head coach of Marseille. The former Marseille famous defender and youth team coach Casoni will replace Kobis The coach finished the second half, but Markand said, "It is too early to discuss Casoni's future." The media thinks that Markand seems to be implying that Casoni is just a firefighter, not a candidate for the future head coach .

In another game, Chelsea finally swept away the decline and drew 0-0 with the Serie A powerhouse at Lazio's home court.

Now after two rounds in Group D, Alkmaar ranks first with 6 points for two consecutive victories, while Lazio ranks second with 4 points for one win and one draw, Chelsea ranks third with 1 point, and Marseille has two consecutive losses without a point. However, there are six games in the group stage and the qualifiers, and any of the four teams may be eliminated, but Alkmaar and Lazio have a slight advantage.

In the other three groups, Group A and Group D are similar. Porto has won two games in a row and beat Barcelona to the top of the list with 6 points. Barcelona ranked second with 4 points after one win and one tie. Sparta Prague has no points, they are ranked third and fourth respectively.

Group B is a bit of a mess. Manchester United lost 0:2 to Fiorentina in the away game. Back home, they played La Liga powerhouse Valencia 3:0. Valencia lost to Manchester United but won Bordeaux. Fiorentina won Manchester United but drew Bordeaux. .After two rounds, Fiorentina ranked first with 4 points, Manchester United and Valencia ranked 3nd and 2rd with 3 points each, and Bordeaux ranked last with 1 point.

In Group C, Real Madrid ranked first with 6 points for two consecutive victories, Bayern ranked second with 4 points for one win and one draw, Rosenborg and Dynamo Kiev ranked third and fourth.

The final result of the two rounds cannot be seen, but the state of each team can be seen. After the second round, the winning odds of each team changed again. Real Madrid with Zidane has already ranked The first place has become the favorite to win the championship, followed by Manchester United, and the odds of the big dark horse Alkmaar have increased to No.6 tied with Lazio. In front of him are only Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern, Barcelona and Valencia.

After the game, the media mostly praised the strong recovery of the giants, but they did not forget to praise Alkmaar, a dark horse with great potential.

"Bild" commented: "Everyone wants to see when Alkmaar will fail, but Marseille obviously does not have this strength. The score of 2:3 looks like a glorious defeat, but in fact it is not Lucio who sent one. Big gift package, Marseille is the most useless team that lost this round, even more useless than Sparta Prague, which lost 0:5."

"The Sun"'s comment was sensational, "The big dark horse Alkmaar already has the strength to win the championship. Don't be surprised if they finally reach the Stade de France in Paris and win the championship. They have already shown their strength before."

"Gazzetta dello Sport" said: "Don't underestimate Alkmaar, they may not be a spoiler, but the second Denmark, performing a good show of an ugly duckling turning into a black swan, and stealing the final crown."

The Dutch "Telegraph" also commented on their team, "They have the youngest players, they have the youngest coach, and they are also one of the least optimistic teams, but now, the whole of Europe is against them. All teams are frightened by their record. This is Alkmaar, a team with an average age of 21, a small club with a population of less than 10 and a home stadium that can only accommodate 8 people. .”
