magic coach

When Barcelona arrived in Alkmaar on April 4, it caused a riot, which was mainly caused by Barcelona's assistant coach Mourinho.

Things have to go back to the war of words, Mourinho attacked Jiang Mu, Jiang Mu did not fight back, but Jiang Mu's fans quit, how could they tolerate Mourinho, a little assistant coach, humiliating themselves Idols, so when Mourinho and Van Gaal got off the plane at Amsterdam International Airport, about hundreds of Jiang Mu's iron rods blocked Mourinho and cursed, and Mourinho unceremoniously raised his middle finger fight back.

Mourinho's behavior aroused the anger of the fans. Many fans threw water bottles, coins, newspapers and other sundries at Mourinho. Van Gaal also suffered disaster. Barcelona players protected Mourinho and Van Gaal almost had a gang fight with the fans. In the end, the Barcelona players had to leave the airport under the protection of airport security and rush to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Van Gaal, who was initially in shock, held a press conference to bombard Jiang Mu. He believed that this kind of thing had something to do with Jiang Mu. caused this to happen.

Immediately, the club manager of Alkmaar, Scheringa, also responded to this. She claimed that the club cannot restrict the specific actions of the fans. It is the freedom of the fans to do what they want. If Barcelona wants to reduce a little trouble, please restrain yourself. Behavior.

Van Gaal also knew that the club had no good way to deal with the fans, and even if there were, the club would not prohibit the fans from harassing the visiting team. Fans create friction.

When adapting to the field in the afternoon, the fans once again attacked Mourinho and the Barcelona players with debris, but this time the security guards of the Alkmaar club intervened in time and did not let the fans succeed, but the Barcelona players also responded to the interference. Lost interest after adapting to the venue, hastily ended training and returned to the hotel.

In the evening, the other two UEFA Champions League quarter-finals kicked off. Porto at home drew 1:1 against the powerful Bayern Munich. The only regret was that they gave Bayern an away goal. It's a disadvantage because they have to score goals away from home.

In another big collision between the giants, Real Madrid was still in a downturn at home. They were tied 0:0 by Manchester United at home. Apart from the scene and the result, the only thing that made Real Madrid fans feel gratified was that they did not give their opponents a [-]-[-] draw. An away goal, this slight advantage may allow them to play more aggressively away.

Porto played very tenaciously at home and almost overturned the mighty Bayern. Bayern didn't take advantage of Porto's mistake to equalize the score until 10 minutes.

This made the Barcelona generals more vigilant, because Alkmaar is also playing at home, and the combat power is stronger than Porto. Barcelona is worried about being upset by the opponent in the away game. After watching the live broadcast of the Champions League, Van Gaal immediately called a meeting of the coaching staff. Discuss the next day's game.

Mourinho still did not give up repeating his suggestion. He believed that Van Gaal's starting lineup was not a big problem, but the tactics he formulated were too problematic. Among the three midfielders, Enrique and Cocu were separated. On both sides of Diola, a triangular position is formed, but the main task of the two is to attack, not defend.The offensive and defensive transitions are all on Guardiola alone.Mourinho believes that Enrique and Cocu have at least one parallel position with Guardiola, forming a double midfielder is the safest.

Van Gaal once again vetoed Mourinho's suggestion. He thought it was too conservative. It would be a waste to play with a double midfielder against a team like Alkmaar, and he had already said at the press conference, If you want to play a confrontation with Alkmaar, how can you go back on your word and adopt conservative tactics.

Mourinho was a little discouraged by Van Gaal's stubbornness. He felt that although Van Gaal had taught him a lot, there were still many things that others could not teach, such as the experience of being a head coach, so Mourinho had the idea of ​​leaving Barcelona's thoughts.

The next morning, the small town of Alkmaar was overcrowded. A large number of fans flocked to every street. Some of them held small flags of Alkmaar, some wore Barcelona scarves around their necks, and some wore different numbers. Alkmaar jerseys and banners supporting Barcelona. These fans speak languages ​​​​of different countries, making Alkmaar an international metropolis overnight.

After adapting to the venue for the last time in the afternoon, the atmosphere of the game became more and more intense, and the fans gradually began to move closer to the De Hoult Stadium.

Although the tickets given by De Hoult Stadium are too limited, these fans are still willing to find a drink near the stadium, or watch the game in front of the big outdoor screen.

Although this is only a quarter-final, the shock to Alkmaar is even comparable to winning the league championship. Alkmaar and even Dutch football and business celebrities have come to the stadium to watch the game.

10 minutes before the start of the game, Mr. Bacchus, the mayor of Alkmaar, came to the stadium with the Dutch ambassador Tan Jun. They also had the glamorous oriental interpreter beside them.The combination of the mayor, the ambassador and the beauties was warmly welcomed by the fans, and the reporter's camera lens was pulled here from time to time and spread all over the world.

Immediately afterwards, Alkmaar and Barcelona club presidents Dirk and Nunes also came to the stadium, but they did not arouse much reaction from the fans, because at this time the players also began to enter the field, and the fans' attention was focused on the stadium. on the superstars.

"... Let's take a look at the lineup of Barcelona: goalkeeper Baia, left back: Sergi center back: Frank de Boer Abelardo right back: Retzig left midfielder: Cocu midfielder: Guardio Right midfielder: Enrique Left winger: Rivaldo Center: Kluivert Right winger: Figo, this is a typical 433, reminds us of the Ajax team in 95... Rivaldo Finally appeared on the left winger position. This is the result of the discussion between Van Gaal and Rivaldo’s agent Minguelia. Although I don’t know if Rivaldo is happy or not, Kluivert is at the center forward position. Now, Van Gaal is at least relieved...

... On the two flanks, with Rivaldo and Figo's superb dribbling skills and deterrence, they can draw a considerable amount of troops from the opponent to lean left or right, so as to serve as a full-time center for the full-time center Kluivert and get used to it. Enrique and Cocu created gaps.Compared with Figo’s walk to the end in the right corridor, Rivaldo’s left in Barcelona is hardly bottomed out. He is not a wing assaulter, and he does not have the starting speed and crossing footwork that a winger should have. Van Gaal placed Rivaldo on the left side to involve the opponent's strength, and whenever he had the opportunity, he leaned towards the center, or threatened the opponent's players with his own personal ability, and left the space on the side for the left back Sergi who inserted in the back. Sergi has a strong assist ability and can completely replace Rivaldo to complete the job of a winger..."

"... Let's take a look at Alkmaar's starting lineup again, goalkeeper Cesar, left back Riise, center back Lucio and Ismail, right back Kronkamp, ​​three midfielders Engel and Gattuso, Van Bommel, left winger Ronaldinho, right winger Dirk Dirk, center Klose... This is a 433-[-]-[-] midfielder formation, but considering Rivaldo's strength, Kurit's back defense It may be bigger. Alkmaar's offensive focus should be on the left. Ronaldo and Riise will use their speed to attack Figo's back...but Klose was sent to the center instead of Thomason and Germany. Robba, this is a very strange starting lineup. What is Jiang Mu’s consideration for Klose to play, not for scoring more goals? What about Thomasson and Drogba who have been playing the main force? What’s even more strange is Van Bome Er's position seems to be forwarded by Bienger and Gattuso, what does Jiang Mu mean? Do you want Van Bommel to play as a midfielder?"

Another guest commentator, Matthews, said: "Compared with Thomason, Klose has a better header, more flexible dribbling, and the ability to distribute the ball. Compared with Drogba, Klose has more accurate shots." , the running position is more elegant. I don’t know whether Jiang Mu wants to play the third midfielder or wants Van Bommel to play the front midfielder, but it seems that Jiang Mu is going to let Klose and Van Bommel control the midfield together. The team played near the penalty area, with Ronaldinho on the side to restrain them. Barcelona should not have too strong defense in the center, but can Van Bommel be competent as an attacking midfielder? He has never played in this position..."

Not only was the commentator confused, but even Van Gaal was standing on the sidelines with a dazed look on his face. He turned to the sullen assistant coach Mourinho and said, "Jose, you can see what it means for him to start like this. Intent?"

Mourinho frowned, shook his head and nodded again, it was obvious that he was puzzled, but in the end Mourinho said firmly: "I think he wants Van Bommel to harass Guardiola, not Big attacking midfielder, but I don't understand Klose's starting lineup. In my opinion, this Klose's characteristics are not as clear as those of Thomason and Drogba. If it were me, I would definitely not start with him..."

Van Gaal snorted and ignored it. He felt that Mourinho was a little bit crazy, and his mind was spinning around harassing Guardiola.Let the front midfielder harass the back midfielder, what kind of god can do it, unless the brain is flooded, it is simply nonsense.

Alkmaar's starting lineup and players' positions have also aroused the fans' discussion. Long-term attention to a team has made the fans semi-experts. They are also confused about Jiang Mu's starting lineup. what to do.

After the players exchanged team flags and badges and took a group photo, with the whistle of the referee Swede Flix, the commentator, fans, Van Gaal and others finally understood the reason for Jiang Mu's arrangement of this game.
