As the European Cup is just around the corner, the League Cup matches are in full swing. After Alkmaar finishes the Dutch Cup semi-finals, the Champions League quarter-finals will also begin soon.

On April 4th, Alkmaar will face the challenge of La Liga giants Barcelona at their home court.

Barcelona is one of the few wealthy teams in the world. It is known as the dream team. Being able to play against such a team at the De Hoult Stadium is absolutely brilliant for the Alkmaar club. Even the residents of the entire small city of Alkmaar are proud and proud of it.

In the week before the game, Alkmaar mayor Luther.Mr. Bacchus mentioned the quarter-finals between Barcelona and Alkmaar in a TV interview. He said: "It is the pride of the whole Alkmaar to be able to play in the quarter-finals with Barcelona. Although the stadium is not big and the number of fans it can accommodate is limited, our fans are enthusiastic enough and they will surprise Barcelona. Although I know that our chances of qualifying are not high, I still wish Jiang Mu and his team in advance Good luck to the team."

The battle between Alkmaar, the big dark horse, and Barcelona, ​​the favorite to win the championship, is not as influential as Real Madrid and Manchester United, but it has also attracted the attention of many fans and the media.

In order to watch this game, the fans of Alkmaar have already made all preparations, completed the work ahead of time, moved the reception ahead or back, and temporarily canceled the travel holiday, all for watching this game.

In the week before the war, the number of journalists and fans who came to Alkmaar to watch the Alkmaar team training skyrocketed, almost catching up with the number of fans playing a league game.

The media of the two countries also offered suggestions for their teams, looking for ways to overcome the enemy.

The Telegraph of the Netherlands said: Although Alkmaar can’t compete with a giant like Barcelona, ​​Van Gaal’s Barcelona is not without weaknesses. Filling every corner of the court, the formation was stretched wide, and Rivaldo, Figo, Kluivert, Enrique, Cocu, etc. all piled forward indiscriminately.If they cooperate, Alkmaar will be in danger. Jiang Mu should divide and surround these geniuses with strong personal attack capabilities, and let them fight on their own, so that Barcelona's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"International Football" believes that it is a miracle that Alkmaar can reach the quarter-finals. No matter how you play next, you will make money. The Dehout Stadium is very narrow. The opposite tactic, attacking Barcelona's defense.No matter how powerful Barcelona's genius is, there is no room for a breakthrough, and they have nothing to do. At this time, face is no longer a concern. Compared with Barcelona, ​​Alkmaar is just a small shrimp, and it is not shameful to set up an iron bucket formation. Jiang Mu is not without it have done so.

Spain's "Mundo Deportivo" reminded Van Gaal to be careful of Alkmaar. Although Alkmaar has never met a real giant team before, Dortmund, Chelsea, and Lazio are also the world's mid-range teams. Alkmaar has suffered enough in the match. In the league, teams such as Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, and Feyenoord cannot restrain Alkmaar, which shows the fierceness of this team. Kemar's average age is very young, but Van Gaal should know that young age has no direct relationship with combat effectiveness. His Ajax team has won the Champions League. If Van Gaal can't control Alkmaar's Ronaldinho, Rising monsters like Thomason and Didier Drogba may bring big troubles to Barcelona.

"Daily Sports" believes that Alkmaar is likely to send an extremely conservative lineup of three defensive midfielders, because Barcelona's offensive power is very strong, and the players' personal abilities are sudden. It is impossible for Alkmaar to send everyone to mark. The regional defense may not be able to defend, so the three midfielders shrink the defense and then counterattack is Alkmaar's best choice.

"Daily Sports" suggested that Van Gaal should practice how to break the defense and counterattack. In the league, Valencia's defense made Van Gaal suffer a lot. Alkmaar's defensive counterattack is not inferior to Valencia. If Van Gaal can't think of a way to score early, maybe it will really create a big upset.

These statements by the reporters are just to coax the fans and increase the fun of watching the game, which is of no help to the head coach and players.It is impossible for Jiang Mu and Van Gaal to play according to what the reporter said. They not only have to rack their brains to restrain the opponent's original style of play, but also consider the possible changes of the opponent in this game. Much more tiring than in the game.

Jiang Mu paid more attention to this competition than all the previous competitions. Although Chang'e-[-] helped, Jiang Mu still spent a week preparing, handing over the collected information to Chang'e-[-] to digest, and then According to the results of the analysis, it is repeatedly deduced in the game of "Magic Coach".

Although Van Gaal's Barcelona team is far inferior to the Dream [-] team a few years later, let alone the Dream [-] team later, this has already made Jiang Mu feel a sense of fear.

Not to mention the playing style that Barcelona has cultivated since the age of eight or nine, the playing style of the Dutch team is very similar to that of Barcelona. In terms of playing style, Jiang Mu is not afraid, but there are so many players in the opponent's camp. Talented players are the biggest headache for Jiang Mu. He also has a lot of geniuses under his command, but his geniuses are still little monsters, far from being mature. Able to change the course of the game.

During the repeated deduction in the game, Jiang Mu found that the outcome changed a lot, not as stable as when playing against civilian teams. He can score goals with his personal ability at all times, which greatly increases the uncertainty of the game.

In order to reduce this uncertainty, Jiang Mu adopted various methods such as man-to-man defense, zone defense, and zone-to-man defense. He also considered all the problems mentioned by the media, but in the end he still couldn't solve this problem. Jiang Mu finally I finally gave up this futile practice. Football is a highly accidental game, and it doesn't change just because I have Chang'e-4.He decided to find another way, not to suppress the performance of Barcelona's talented players in the frontcourt, but to control Barcelona's midfield and backcourt, that is, Guardiola in the [-]th position, this is a key figure from defense to offense, strangling him , There will be no one for Barcelona to deliver the shells forward.

Moreover, Van Gaal's style of play is very risky. Usually he uses a single midfielder. Xavi is Guardiola's substitute. So many days are much safer and more reliable.

After Jiang Mu adopted the tactic of letting Gattuso mark Barcelona's Guardiola, he commanded Alkmaar to greatly increase the probability of winning against Barcelona in the game, reaching more than 50.00% at one point, which made Jiang Mu very satisfied. In combat, the opponent has many inconveniences. If you can play a 50.00% winning probability against Barcelona in a computer game, then the possibility of winning in reality is even greater.

However, for players like Rivaldo, Figo, and Kluivert, Jiang Mu still did not relax. Marking with the ball is a must. Giving these players room to play freely is simply against him, Jiang Mu would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

Although Van Gaal holds a good deck of cards and has a cloud of big-name superstars, he also has headaches. The first is that there are too many superstars who are disobedient. Rivaldo is the core of the team's frontcourt, but he doesn't like it. Van Gaal assigned him the position of left winger, and he wanted to play in the middle.But Rivaldo went to the middle, where did Kluivert arrange it? Rivaldo can play the center and the side, but Kluivert can only play the center forward.After he won the World Footballer of the Year, Rivaldo's attitude became more determined. Every important game, Van Gaal had to talk to Rivaldo repeatedly, which made Van Gaal very distressed.

In addition to the superstars who are full of personality and often question the arrangements of the head coach, the contradictions within the Barcelona club also put Van Gaal in danger of a fire in the backyard.In the second half of the league, the Spanish fans began to boo the Dutch players in Barcelona. Once the Barcelona game failed, the fans and the media blamed the Dutch gang. Later, even if Barcelona won, if the game The players of the Dutch gang made mistakes, and they would also encounter boos from Barcelona fans. This made the players of the Dutch gang very distressed, and some people already had the idea of ​​​​tiring.Because no one wants to play while being booed by their own fans.

Van Gaal knows who is doing it, but he can't help it because it's a conflict between the club's president, Nunes, and his opponent, La Puerta, who wants to be the president, and he uses the Catalan of the Barcelona fans Sub-independence sentiment, attacking the large number of Dutch players attracted by Van Gaal, and many of the large number of Dutch players attracted by Van Gaal did not perform well, which is also one of the reasons why the picky Barcelona fans and reporters booed.

In addition to these reasons, Van Gaal was also very jealous of Jiang Mu. He was an arrogant and stubborn person, but he was by no means a stupid person. He had been paying attention to Jiang Mu's success. From Jiang Mu's formation, On-the-spot command, the player who has already bought, he knew that this is not an easy guy. Before the draw, he always hoped to avoid Alkmaar, but unfortunately they were still drawn together.

Although Alkmaar's strength is worse than that of Barcelona, ​​Van Gaal felt that Jiang Mu would not put down the iron barrel. Alkmaar beat opponents in many games by a large score, which shows that Alkmaar's offensive ability is very strong. Jiang Mu Those who will not abolish their martial arts, give up the attack, and put down the iron barrel formation.

Van Gaal affirmed that Alkmaar played anti-counterattack, but even if it was anti-counterattack, Jiang Mu would not be a passive anti-counterattack. He would never invest less troops in the counterattack, and his interception in the midfield would never be weak. This is the way of Valencia. Although Barcelona was beaten by Valencia in the league, Van Gaal thinks he will not give Jiang Mu this chance in the Champions League. He has found a way to deal with Valencia's defensive counterattack way.
