magic coach

Valencia, the third largest city in Spain, has a mild and pleasant climate and bright and bright light. It has all the characteristics of a Mediterranean city. The wide streets surround the ancient blocks. The streets in the old city are narrow and the gates with fortifications Surrounded by old-fashioned shops, Gothic houses with charming small courtyards, distant heritage sites in the AD and the latest and avant-garde modern buildings are perfectly and harmoniously integrated. One of the good cities.

However, after the players from Alkmaar came to this beautiful city, they did not appreciate it at all. The atmosphere of the tense battle still enveloped the hearts of every player. What can't happen in football?

Especially when the Alkmaar players watched the second round of the semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern at night, the players' mood became more dignified. In the first round, Real Madrid led Bayern 2:0, and in the second round In the game, Bayern striker Jankel broke the deadlock in 12 minutes, Elber equalized the total score in the 31st minute, and Elber's goal was disallowed in the 24th minute, otherwise Bayern would have reversed Real Madrid in the first half.

Real Madrid didn't recover until the second half. In the 54th minute, Anelka, who is always active as long as he plays Bayern, scored again and scored a fairy goal. Under the defense of Kufuor, Anelka turned his back to the goal. After kicking the ball, the ball actually broke the goal guarded by Kahn, turning the score into 1:2. The score was maintained until the end, eliminated Bayern by one goal, successfully reached the Stade de France, and waited for the winner between Alkmaar and Valencia to enter the final.

The 2:0 advantage was reversed so easily. If it weren't for Anelka's fairy ball, Real Madrid would have been eliminated. This made the complacent Alkmaar players completely uneasy. They now feel 4:1 The score is not so safe anymore, the best advantage of two and a half goals seems to be reversed in a snap of the fingers.

Jiang Mu originally hoped to make the players more cautious through the game, but he did not expect that the players were frightened by Bayern and became nervous. Some of the more sensitive players were even nervous, and it became too late. Jiang Mu was a little dumbfounded , I have no choice but to reassure the players and tell them that they have made sufficient preparations, as long as they play according to their arrangements, they will definitely be able to advance to the finals.

Under Jiang Mu's psychological massage, the mood of the Alkmaar players returned to normal. Everyone took the information about Valencia players written by Jiang Mu to them and pondered hard on the bed.

The next day, after Alkmaar had the morning adaptive training, Jiang Mu took Ronaldinho to the press conference.At the press conference, Jiang Mu and Ronaldinho talked about their views on the game.

Jiang Mu said: "...This is a game that determines which team will advance. Anyone may appear at the Stade de France. We are not the final winners yet. We just won the first round with 4:1. I believe we will advance to the final because we are one of the best teams in the world. I will not underestimate the difficulty of the game. The match between Real Madrid and Bayern yesterday said it all. Bayern made Real Madrid 31 in just 2 minutes :0 advantage vanished, if the referee hadn't misjudged a goal by Elber, Real Madrid might be out. So we must not be careless..."

What Ronaldinho said was the cliché that Jiang Mu confessed before the game, but this reflects the current state of Alkmaar, "...the team is in a good state now, we are full of desire for the game and have made full preparations , Valencia is a very good team, without us they should have reached the final, but unfortunately, now we should have advanced, I hope Valencia can win La Liga, but lose in the Champions League."

Because Jiang Mu played simulated games day and night, most of the training during the day was handed over to the coaching staff, which surprised the media reporters. The news about Jiang Mu being lazy and sleeping during the day also spread.Therefore, in the regular pre-match press conference held this time, the matter about Jiang Mu's laziness and sleeping became the focus of attention of all reporters.For this, Jiang Mu had been prepared for a long time. He couldn't let his reputation be damaged, so he made a series of rebuttals to the reporters' questions. "Why do you like to discuss whether I sleep during the day so much? Then why don't you talk about how the players are training, and whether you can win the game? Is it so important to discuss whether the head coach sleeps during training at the press conference? And talking about players and games doesn't matter?"

A Spanish reporter tried to defend himself against Jiang Mu's aggressive rhetorical question, "Coach Jiang Mu, we think it's newsworthy if the coach doesn't train..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jiang Mu retorted: "Since you think so, why don't you discuss the upcoming European Cup and the Y[-]K problem, these are also newsworthy."

Jiang Mu was not in a hurry, and leisurely debated with the reporters about the importance of the coach sleeping during training, or whether the team can win. When the reporters were bored, they wanted to ask questions about the game. But Mu signaled the end of the press conference, turned around and left the venue, leaving all the reporters stunned.

From the time until the game, the players and fans kept talking about Jiang Mu's tongue-in-cheek joke with the reporters, which even washed away a lot of the tense atmosphere of the game.

At 45:55000 in the evening, the game officially started at the Mestalla Stadium. The stadium that can accommodate 7 people was full of seats, and everyone was waiting for the final verdict for [-] days.

The commentator read out the rosters of both sides. Jiang Mu and Cooper submitted their rosters to UEFA two hours ago. Compared with the first game, the starting lineups of the two teams have changed to a certain extent. , especially Valencia, they will definitely not be too satisfied with the starting lineup of the last game. Cooper has made relatively large changes to the lineup and formation, while Jiang Mu is mainly fine-tuning.

Cooper played a 433-[-]-[-] formation that he didn't often use in the away game, and the goalkeeper was the strong Canizares.The back line is the strongest lineup that Valencia can dispatch, from right to left are Angloma, Djukic, Pellegrino, and Carboni!

In the midfield, Mendieta is in the front, Herald, who is both offensive and defensive, and the defensive midfielder Albelda is in the back.At the top are Angulo, Cobra Elijah and Keely.gonzales.

This formation was beyond the expectations of the experts and reporters before the game, because Valencia's lineup rarely played a 433-[-]-[-] formation, which can almost be described as a handful. Cooper's sudden change today is probably because he wanted to play Jiang Mu. caught off guard.

Valencia's tactical thinking is based on defensive counterattacks and wing breakthroughs. Kiley Gonzalez, Angulo and Illie all like to move on the wing. Any of them can play wingers and can switch positions with each other. , At the same time, after they pulled the sides, Herald and Mendieta in the midfield can both attack. After Jiang Mu played the winger's inside tactic, now the whole of Europe is starting to learn Jiang Mu's style of play, even his opponent Wa Rencia is no exception.

However, Jiang Mu, who always likes to change new tricks, returned to his 433 formation. Compared with the starting lineup in the first game, he only adjusted one position.

Goalkeeper Cesar and the other three defenders Riise, Lucio, and Kronkamp remain unchanged. Ismail, who was sent off in the last game, was replaced by the old player Martens. Five players were sent in the midfield. Two defensive midfielders Van Bommel and Gattuso, forward midfielder Ronaldinho, three forwards, center Thomasson, left midfielder Robben, right midfielder Dirk, Drogba and Klose are still on the bench standby.

The referee of this game is the Norwegian Hauge, 35 years old, a health official who is good at Norwegian and English. He started his career as a referee in 1982 and became an international referee in 1993. He has been appointed by UEFA as the referee for the 2000 European Cup.

What makes Jiang Mu a little uneasy is that the Norwegian referee prefers La Liga. Jiang Mu is worried whether his law enforcement preference will affect the game. Before the game, Jiang Mu also directly talked about this issue in order to put pressure on Haug. , Hauge said that he would enforce the law impartially. If Jiang Mu was not satisfied, he could apply for a substitution, but Jiang Mu did not apply. After putting pressure on him, Jiang Mu thought that even if Hauge had a preference, he would not dare to take sides openly. Factors are normal, who doesn't take advantage at home.

After some ceremonies before the game, with a sound of "force", the referee Hauge blew the whistle to start the game.

Hauge's whistle was like the horn of Valencia. After the whistle sounded, Valencia immediately launched a violent charge.For Valencia, time is extremely precious. Even if Alkmaar does not score a goal, they must score at least three goals in 90 minutes, which also means that they will score a goal every 10 minutes, in other words In other words, if Valencia wants to advance, they must score in the first half, and the sooner the better.Because that is the only way to put psychological pressure on Alkmaar, otherwise, all the pressure will be on Valencia's side.

The fans in the stands also knew this well. More than 5 fans of the Bat Legion raised their arms and sang Valencia's team song:

This is one of the best teams in the league

we are valencia football club

we fight for everything

The whole world is filled with our colors

Both Jiang Mu and Cooper stood on the sidelines. Seeing Valencia's formation, Jiang Mu deliberately said loudly in Spanish: "Don't make it so tragic?"

The assistant coaches around Jiang Mu laughed, but Cooper was so angry that his nose was almost crooked, he turned and walked ten meters to one side, standing far away from Jiang Mu.
