magic coach

There was a sigh in the stands, and Valencia escaped again.

The fans thanked Robben in addition to God and Canizares, if he passed the ball to Thomasson at the back of the flank instead of shooting himself, Canizares would be dead, but Robben Ben opted to shoot himself, giving Kanissalace a chance to be a hero.

Alkmaar's assistant coaches all yelled at Robben angrily, and the players also accused Robben of not passing the ball, but Jiang Mu just waved his fist regretfully and didn't say much.

It's not that Jiang Mu isn't angry, it's mainly because in his last life he was used to Robben who was much better than he is now alone, so he has a greater tolerance for the current Robben. When facing the goalkeeper, Robben passed the ball to Tor Mason is the smarter approach, he can't be blamed for not passing the ball, after all, he is only a little over 16 years old.And from a striker's point of view, shooting is always the first choice.

But when Robben passed by Jiang Mu, Jiang Mu still yelled at him a few words, telling him to broaden his horizons and not just think about dribbling and shooting.

At this time, Robben also knew that he had just made a wrong choice, because Thomason had already complained to him, so he made an apologetic gesture to Jiang Mu, turned around and ran away.

Although Robben's counterattack gave Valencia a huge psychological shock, but at this time Valencia has become a desperado, and death sooner or later is a death, and they have the idea of ​​​​breaking the jar , After two or three minutes of conservativeness, they continued to attack aggressively.

In the 37th minute of the game, Valencia ushered in its best shot since the start of the game.

A defensive error by Kronkamp gave Angulo a chance to make a successful cross. Since there is no interception from the side, it is very dangerous for the ball to hit the middle, because the defensive players in the middle are under pressure from an own goal.

The cautiousness of the defensive players gave the Valencia forwards a chance. Although Illier's quick grab in the middle did not touch the ball, it interfered with Alkmaar's defensive players. The ball missed no one in the middle and missed it directly At the back post, at this time, Keely hit the back.Gonzalez sped up just in time, and the Argentine Kiley stabbed Riise in the back before Riise made a clearance.

The ball is at the near post, as long as the shot is on goal, God can't stop the ball from flying into the net, but Cooper's luck is really a bit bad, the ball actually hit the post and bounced to Riise's leg The bottom line popped up again, but it didn't bounce into the net.

The speed of passing and attacking was so fast that the fans didn't even have time to make advance preparations. They only uttered a cry of regret after the ball went out of bounds.

Time was tight for Valencia, who took a quick tactical corner and the ball was caught by Kiley who had just shot.Gonzalez passed into the penalty area again. Under the defense of Alkmaar, the ground ball could not be passed in, Keely.Gonzalez passed a high-altitude ball.

Valencia's high-altitude ball is not dominant, but under their pressure, Alkmaar is also very nervous. Lucio and Martens grabbed the ball together, but of these two, one is the main force, One is a substitute. Lucio and Martens are not as good at cooperating with Ismail. The two hit the ball at the same time.

The ball suddenly changed direction under the attack of Ismail and Lucio, and flew towards the goal instead of the sideline.

Cesar was quite frightened this time, because he was too close to the goal, he almost subconsciously pushed it with his hand, Cesar's reaction was quick, the ball was originally flying towards the goal, but it was thrown by him like this , The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced down, but it didn't bounce into the net.

Iliye quickly rushed to shoot, but he was squeezed by Lucio, who was still in shock, and the shot from close at hand missed him, and the ball was pinned under him by Cesar's second save.

The two consecutive distresses made the fans of Alkmaar and the players on the bench speak out nervously. They still felt extremely regretful before. They felt that the opponent was very lucky. goal.

Jiang Mu couldn't help lamenting that Cooper's luck was not good enough when he was nervous. Such a ball appeared twice in a row, but he failed to score. He was really a guy abandoned by God.

He remembered that Cooper was also an unlucky guy in his last life. Cooper made his fortune from Mallorca and switched to Valencia. In just a few years, Cooper reached the Champions League final twice. However, Cooper will always only have the life of the second child. Whether he is the runner-up in the league or the Champions Cup, the golden championship trophy is always one step away from him and his disciples. In the 2001-2002 season, Cooper left Valencia for Inter Milan. Valencia also left Mendieta, Lopez, Herald, and Farinos. Valencia was almost injured. .But under such circumstances, the new head coach Benitez led a group of little-known juniors, and by virtue of the 1:0 game philosophy, brought Valencia to the championship podium.In the distant Apennine Peninsula, Inter Milan handed over the league title to Juventus due to the defeat in the last round.As a capable coach but without a champion, his luck couldn't be worse.

Continuously creating good chances but failing to score goals made Cooper very anxious. They kept yelling at the players, telling them to calm down before shooting, but the players were also in a hurry at this time. How could they hear the head coach on the sidelines? What to say.

In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Valencia attacked more fiercely, as if the whole game was over, they were determined to score a goal in the first half, but Alkmaar's defense was very tight , not relying on the accumulation of numbers to win. Under Jiang Mu's training for more than two years, these young players cooperate with each other tacitly, and their defense is very layered. The role played in defense is almost similar to that of a defender. The opponent's offense has lost its vigor under the first two levels of defense, and then entangled with the wolf-like defender of Alkmaar, even if it is Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Manchester United Such a giant is also very uncomfortable, not to mention a quasi-strong team like Valencia.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Valencia, who was eager to score, was unable to break through Alkmaar's gate, and Alkmaar's counterattack did not achieve good results. The result of the game was 0:0.

After returning to the locker room, the taciturn Cooper seemed to be possessed by Ferguson. With a sullen face, he pushed open the door with a bang, and then yelled at the players.

"We've been eliminated! There were 45 minutes of garbage time in the second half, how do you want to spend these 45 minutes, continue to waste time and opportunities on the court? I have always been proud of you, but today, I can no longer think like this, Our fans can't think that way either, I think they're ready to boo us, we're not facing Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​we're only facing an upstart in the Eredivisie..."

There was silence in the locker room, a true grave-like silence, the players all hung their heads, none of the goals set before the game were achieved, and none of the opportunities that appeared on the field were grasped. They really had no face to face the host. Coach's accusation.Even old players like Caboni and Anglomar kept their heads down and kept silent, letting Cooper scold them.

After venting fiercely for a while, Cooper calmed down a bit. He took a deep breath and said, "You guys are working hard. I've seen it all. Even when you were playing against Barcelona and Real Madrid, you guys were just playing like this. Attitude, but this is not enough, because Alkmaar, who leads us by three goals, works harder than you. Therefore, if we want to win, we must not only show all our energy and courage, but also perform supernormally and come up with more energy than our opponents. Make great efforts, only in this way will we be able to defeat our opponents!"

Cooper's words resonated with the Valencia players, and they also felt this in the game. They felt that they were already good at fighting, but they didn't expect their opponents to be even more good at fighting. Without knowing the result of the first game, no one can guess that Alkmaar has a huge lead.

"They are a bunch of lunatics, they can fight too hard." Carboni is almost 35 years old. The Italian player who has moved to six clubs has rich experience, but he has never seen a team lead 4:1. A team that can fight so well under the circumstances.

Cooper added: "This shows that their desire to advance is very strong. During the group stage, their head coach Jiang Mu said that Alkmaar's goal is to enter the final, but our desire and confidence are not enough. The reason why we have been unable to overwhelm our opponents is that there are still 45 minutes left in the game, and no tactics are so effective. What we need most at this moment is everyone's hard work, and put out 120% of your efforts to fight to the death Opponents, no matter what the final result is, as long as we have fought hard, the fans will definitely applaud us instead of booing us... Let me tell you how to play. The opponent's defense looks perfect without any flaws , but their central defender is a slight blemish, because the main central defender Ismail is suspended, Lucio and Martens do not cooperate well, and Martens is too old, his physical fitness and reaction are not with his teammates One beat, we're going to attack them in the second half..."

Cooper asked the players to attack Alkmaar's central defender Martens in the locker room, and Jiang Mu also talked about the two issues of offense and defense in the locker room. Defense, protect the two central defenders, try to solve the danger outside the penalty area, instead of facing the danger with the last line of defense, because the closer to the goal, the more dangerous the mistakes made.

In terms of offense, Jiang Mu severely criticized Robben, reminding him to pay attention to passing the ball and not to shoot with his head down. Goals are not everything for a striker. A striker is a player first, and a striker who can pass the ball is an excellent player.

In the end, Jiang Mu reminded the players not to be careless. Valencia will definitely work hard in the second half. Let them remember the tragedy of Bayern in the Champions League final last season, and they must fight their opponents like the first half.
