In the 27th round of the league, Alkmaar’s forward momentum has not diminished. They still top the list and have not yet lost. Since last season, Alkmaar has been unbeaten in 61 games, even if the Eredivisie does not have five major leagues influence, but it is also the most famous league outside of the five major leagues.61 games unbeaten

It is also a jaw-dropping record.

In the 28th round, on the eve of the Tianwangshan battle between Alkmaar and the second-ranked Eindhoven, Alkmaar won 24, drew 3, and accumulated 75 points, and Eindhoven had 21 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 67 points , The difference between the two teams is 8 points. If Alkmaar wins this strong dialogue with Eindhoven, then Alkmaar can expand the points beyond 10 points, so that they will have a chance after the start of the Champions League knockout round. If there is room for maneuver, it doesn't matter if you lose two games if you really can't.And if it is reduced to 5 points by Eindhoven, maybe at the critical moment of the Champions League, Alkmaar will have to face the choice between the league and the cup, and this is the most common dilemma for small clubs, and it is often not the fish and the bear's paw in the end If you can't have both, you will lose both the fish and the bear's paw.

Against Alkmaar, this is a game that must be won, and for PSV, this is even more a game that must be won. If they lose this game, it is basically certain that they and the Netherlands this season The League One champion missed out.

Eindhoven played very well this season and only lost two games. Their striker Van Nistelrooy led the scorer list with 25 goals. In this case, losing the league title is not reconciled to Eindhoven .

Before the game, the head coach of Eindhoven, Gretz, let out the wind, saying that this game should be played as a final, and the world will be determined by the first battle, and Alkmaar will never let Alkmaar win the championship as easily as last season.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, the general of the team, has recently become popular in Europe, and many giants are already eager to move towards him. He also expressed that he must score in this game, kill Alkmaar, and win his first league championship.

Facing the challenge from Eindhoven, Alkmaar could not show weakness. The head coach Jiang Mu said: "This is Eindhoven's final, but not ours. No matter whether we win or lose this game, it will not affect the final game. The championship belongs to us, we lead by eight points, this advantage cannot be erased in one game, but I still want to say, since they said it is the final, we will play it as the final.”

Alkmaar did what he said, and sent his entire main lineup in this game. He recovered from his injury, and Gattuso and Thomason, who had just practiced with the team, also appeared in the 18-man roster. in.It can be said that Alkmaar is really going to fight a decisive battle with Eindhoven.

Both sides know the basics and are very skilled in playing against their opponents. They didn't play any tricks in the formation of troops. They just wanted to win by strength. The players of both sides entered the state from the beginning of the game. They all fought fiercely.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who leads the scorer list, performed particularly well. Last season, he was snatched away by Thomason in the final stage of the league golden boot. In the contest, he scored a goal and threw Thomason away.

In the 15th minute of the game, Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area, finally broke the deadlock. He scored a goal from the king of the penalty area this time. This was not such a good opportunity. Nelis passed the ball to When Ruud van Nistelrooy was at his feet, there were two defensive central defenders Lucio and Ismail behind Ruud van Nistelrooy. It can be said that it was almost impossible to score goals.

But the striker genius Van Nistelrooy is good at looking for opportunities to score goals in the impossible. At the moment of receiving the ball, he made a fake move to the right, then passed the ball between his legs, turned around and shot.

This shot was really sudden, and the angle was extremely tricky. Not only did the defensive players fail to react, even the goalkeeper Cesar couldn't make a save, and could only watch the ball fly into the net.

After one to zero, the game became even more exciting. Alkmaar was not reconciled to admitting defeat. They launched a siege to the penalty area of ​​Eindhoven, which meant turning the Philips Stadium into a home court.

But Eindhoven now has a deep understanding of Jiang Mu and Alkmaar. They know that defense alone will definitely not be able to defend, and they will not shrink their defense. Scored the second goal.

When the game progressed to the 25th minute, the game on the field was rewritten again.However, it was not Eindhoven who scored the goal. This time it was Alkmaar's striker Drogba. Because of the many defensive tasks of the Ivory Coast Warcraft, the number of goals is not as many as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thomason, but His effect on the team is by no means smaller than that of Thomason.

This goal is entirely due to Drogba's strong body. Ronaldinho made a pass from the bottom. Eindhoven's central defenders Aoyer and Hovland had already established their positions, but Drogba used it. The body squeezed away and a powerful header broke through the gate guarded by goalkeeper Waterrus.

The score became a 1:1 tie, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

A draw is a result that neither side wants to accept, especially Eindhoven. They have to narrow the point gap to 5 points before they can play. Now that the score is equalized, Eindhoven is starting to worry, and Gretz personally ran to the sidelines Shouting loudly, let the players run, pass the ball more, and seize the opportunity.

Scoring a goal is like breaking the taboo in the hearts of the players. Players on both sides are no longer afraid of scoring goals. Everyone strives forward and strives for victory with all their strength.

In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Didier Drogba scored goals successively, and both of them scored twice, making the score a 2:2 tie. It became a contest between Van Nistelrooy and Drogba.

At the beginning of the second half, Eindhoven, who led twice and was equalized twice, became impatient. They didn't know how to kill Alkmaar, who was as tenacious as a cockroach. One after another began to kick their own kicks, so virtually, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was in good form, was reduced in his chances of shooting.

But Drogba got the support of the whole team, and even Thomason stood up from the bench to encourage Drogba to come on.

In the 10th minute of the second half, Drogba scored ahead of Ruud van Nistelrooy for the first time. He staged his first hat-trick in the league, and Alkmaar also took the lead for the first time in this game.

Ruud van Nistelrooy saw Drogba perform a hat-trick, and he couldn't hold back anymore. He kept asking his teammates for the ball to shoot. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who likes to pursue perfection in shooting, also shot a few bad shots at this time, not only did he fail to score , but made the team's situation even worse.

In the 58th minute of the game, 3 minutes after Drogba's hat-trick, taking advantage of PSV's panic, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball from the right, drove straight in, and went all the way to the left side of the penalty area. Before the players could react, Ronaldinho cut into the penalty area, volleyed from a small angle, and sent the ball into Eindhoven's goal for the fourth time.

The score became 4:2.

The score expanded, but the mentality of Eindhoven's players stabilized, because they were basically sure to lose, but instead they cheered up and made concerted efforts to launch a counterattack.In the 70th minute Ruud van Nistelrooy scored for the third time and staged a hat-trick. Eindhoven also chased the score to 4:3.

At this time, Jiang Mu was no longer interested in fighting PSV. He began to substitute players to compress PSV's space, allowing PSV to attack, while he played a defensive counterattack.

Jiang Mu's tactic almost drove Gretz crazy. Jiang Mu continuously replaced the backcourt players to strengthen the defense, and he continuously replaced the frontcourt players to strengthen the offense. In the last 10 minutes, Philips Stadium finally staged a half-court offense and defense. However, the players on both sides focused on winning and losing, and no one felt that it was not exciting enough.

Eindhoven got God's blessing in the last 10 minutes, Alkmaar hit four counter-attacks in a row, three single-handed goals, but Thomason, recovering from injury, hit the post twice and Ronaldinho once ,, The three goal posts blocked Alkmaar's three must-go goals, and the Eindhoven people avoided losing more points.

In the 90th minute of the game, the Eindhoven, who had been attacking, finally scored, this time it was Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area scored the fourth goal with his upside-down golden hook, and staged a big four , Also chasing the score to a 4:4 tie.

Just when everyone thought this was the best score, an ordinary corner kick from Alkmaar changed everything. Ronaldinho drove the ball forward. Point backwards. At this time, the players of Eindhoven were nervous and deformed. Hofland made a mistake in his busy schedule when he cleared the header, and the ball went into his own goal.Turned the score into 4:5.

This stinky ball directly beat Eindhoven out of temper, lacked fighting spirit, and lacked direct trust between the players. In the end, they failed to complete a threatening attack in 3 minutes of stoppage time, and had to accept the alliance in the city, accepting 4 With a score of :5, the championship was basically handed over.

After the game, Gretz had to admit that they defeated themselves, and finally let the championship go further and further. Now the points gap has become 11 points. Eindhoven's championship dream this season is basically shattered. The only thing that makes them a little relieved The most important thing is that Ruud van Nistelrooy surpassed No.29 Thomason with 2 goals in the scorer list with 8 goals, and there is basically no suspense about the Golden Boot.

Jiang Mu praised Ruud van Nistelrooy's performance, because no player has scored four goals in Alkmaar, and then Jiang Mu announced that Alkmaar will focus on the Champions League, and they will fight for the goal of reaching the final. struggle.At the same time, Jiang Mu also talked about the next Dutch Cup semi-final with Utrecht, which will be held in three days.
