Chapter 368 The European Cup at the Turn of the Century

The European Cup kicked off on the second day after Longteng Football Culture Company was established, but the opening ceremony was not held in the Netherlands, but in Brussels, Belgium.

In the previous life, Jiang Mu did not go to watch the opening ceremony of the European Cup live. At that time, their family’s income was very average, and they had no spare money to go abroad to watch the opening ceremony. Jiang Mu watched the live broadcast in front of his own TV. Given him a chance to start all over again, Jiang Mu naturally would not give up the opportunity to go to the scene to experience the grand occasion.

Belgium borders the Netherlands. It takes four hours to drive to Brussels to watch the opening ceremony. You can also take the ic train, which is cheaper, but Jiang Mu doesn’t have that kind of leisure. He took the plane one hour before the opening ceremony. Flew to Brussels to watch the opening ceremony of Euro 2000 at the King's Stadium.

In the eyes of outsiders, the European Cup is mysterious. In Jiang Mu's eyes, everything is almost transparent. What he has to do is to feel the atmosphere of the scene and make up for the regrets of the previous life.

The predecessor of the King's Stadium was the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, where the famous Heysel tragedy happened that year. It may be to clean up and guard against the tragedy of the year. In the opening ceremony, which was only 11 minutes long, the host Belgium showed the current cup. The theme is "Football Without Borders".

After 179 actors acted out the story of grown men discovering football with their children, Swedish pop star e-type sang Euro 2000 theme song "Champion 2000" before the teams entered the field one by one.At 8:45 p.m., the first match between Belgium and Sweden began with the whistle blowing.

Both Belgium and Sweden can only be regarded as the quasi-strong teams in Europe. The strength of the two goals is also in the middle. However, the Belgians have home court advantage, and their desire to win is obviously higher than that of Sweden. Teams with comparable strength will compete , The final result is determined by a slight advantage. In the end, Belgium also beat the Vikings Sweden 2:1 at home and won a victory that everyone expected.

Jiang Mu bought all the winnings and losses in the group stage, but in order to avoid suspicion, his bets were not large. Belgium won a small amount of pocket money, although it was far from the winnings he lost in the Champions League final , but if there is no more blunders like the Champions League in history, Jiang Mu will earn back after a few games, and earn more.

After watching the match between Belgium and Sweden, Jiang Mu went to Arnhem Stadium to watch the group match between Turkey and Italy. Before the match, Jiang Mu contacted Gattuso, who was not on the squad for this match, and the two of them We watched the game together in the stands and exchanged our views on the game. At the same time, Jiang Mu also asked about Gattuso's plans for the next season. This is also an important factor for Jiang Mu to watch the European Cup besides inspecting the players. He needs to pass This event asks the players what they think, so as not to be passive in the transfer.

Gattuso has shown seductiveness in the position of the midfielder, but in Italy, where there are so many talents, he can only sit on the bench now. In fact, it is not easy to enter the European Cup squad. If it is not Alkmaar's magic To win the Champions League, he couldn't even make the squad.

It is precisely because defensive players are not as eye-catching as forwards and midfielders, Gattuso has not received too many invitations. Although several Serie A teams intend to introduce Gattuso, their bids are not high. The stable Gattuso still prefers to stay in Alkmaar, but only if Jiang Mu does not leave and the club gives him a little salary increase.

Jiang Mu believes that Gattuso's request is reasonable. Europe is not a celestial dynasty. Players will not sacrifice their own interests for the club, and no club will force players to contribute to the collective. There is a contractual relationship between the club and the players. Gattuso talked about the club's salary increase and contract renewal plan, allowing him to play the European Cup with peace of mind, and then left the Amna Stadium and rushed to Bruges to watch the match between World Cup champion France and former European Cup champion Denmark. By the way, let's take a look at the French player Ismail who missed the European Cup due to injury, Drogba who grew up in France, and Danish striker Thomason.

The World Cup champion France team easily won the former European Cup champion Denmark 3:0. The conversation between Jiang Mu, Ismail and Drogba was also very smooth. Ismail has no plan to leave, and Drogba Although he has received many invitations, he is loyal to Jiang Mu, and if Jiang Mu does not leave, he has no intention of moving for the time being.But Jiang Mu couldn't meet Thomason, because Thomason was Denmark's main striker and was busy preparing for the battle with France, so Jiang Mu didn't bother him on purpose.

Jiang Mu was like rushing to a show. After watching the match between the French team and Denmark, he immediately flew back to Amsterdam in the Netherlands to watch the big favorite between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

When Jiang Mu appeared in the stands, he aroused the enthusiastic attention of the fans. He also stole the role of the protagonists on the court for a while. The warm applause made the commentators think that the players had appeared.

Alkmaar's players selected for the Dutch team include Kronkamp and Van Bommel, but they are not the protagonists. The purpose of Rijkaard to bring them is to let them have more experience, not to rely on them to get results.

Jiang Mu didn't care too much about whether the players could play. Although Rijkaard had a phone call with him before the game and asked him about the status and characteristics of Kronkamp and Van Bommel, Jiang Mu also understood from Rijkaard's voice. It can be heard that he is still worried about the two young people. In this cup match, the best result for the two of them is to be able to play for a while in an insignificant time.

Jiang Mu's main task is to communicate with Alkmaar's players. No matter whether he stays or leaves, he does not want Alkmaar to fall into major twists and turns. Moreover, he has also carefully trained Lin Nazhou in the past two years, and he will be able to contribute to the future of Alkmaar. The only thing is that if one day he leaves, let Linna Zhou be his successor in Alkmaar.

The game between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic was very difficult. The Netherlands had an advantage at home, but they always won the game and failed to score. In the end, De Boer scored a goal to narrowly beat the Czech Republic 1-0. After the game, there were reporters interviewing on the spot Jiang Mu asked Jiang Mu his opinion on the performance of the Netherlands. Jiang Mu believed that the Netherlands has a strong ability to create opportunities and needs to solve the problem of finishing. Continue to improve.

Jiang Mu’s kind reminder was misunderstood by the media. Many Dutch media deliberately created conflicts to attract attention, saying that Jiang Mu believed that the Netherlands would have no hope of winning the championship and criticized the poor performance of the forwards. He might be complaining about the loss of Robben and Dirk. .

Rijkaard implicitly expressed his dissatisfaction on the second day. He thought that the Dutch striker performed very well, but his luck was too bad. The state of slow heat is to go further.

Rijkaard's words made Jiang Mu shut up completely. He doesn't care if the Netherlands wins the championship or not. He is not the head coach of the Dutch team. Time to exchange views with the players, and wait for the opportunity to introduce Longteng Football Culture Company to his disciples.

During the entire group stage, Jiang Mu gained a lot. Under his persuasion, most Alkmaar players firmly stated that they would continue to stay in Alkmaar if their salaries were raised. Klose, Suleiman, and Engel have not made a statement yet, and South American players such as Ronaldinho and Lucio have also made Jiang Mu feel uncertain, but the real main players are only Thomasson, Dirk, and Klose. And Lucio, although this number is quite a lot, but Jiang Mu is relieved, even if these people leave, he can find a way to add suitable candidates.

Under Jiang Mu's introduction, Drogba and Robben reached a verbal agreement with Longteng Company and became players under Feng Ke's banner, which provided Longteng Company with financial support for sustainable development and stable income.

Of course, Jiang Mu also gained a lot from gambling, and easily made back the tens of thousands of euros he lost in the Champions League, and still had a certain surplus.And the knockout round of the unpopular spy is Jiang Mu's good opportunity to make a lot of money.

On June 6, the world-renowned Euro 21 group stage match finally ended with three rounds of the group stage.Britain and Germany, two old world powerhouse teams, were eliminated early with a big upset. Belgium, which won the first round, was also eliminated. In the end, there was no traditional European team in the quarterfinals.In addition, the 2000 European teams unanimously hold high the banner of "offensive football", focusing on individual skills and overall cooperation, which also shows that the development direction of modern football in the 16st century is the combination of technology and strength.The reporters also pointed out that the UEFA Champions League match three weeks ago had already foreshadowed this point. Jiang Mu's Alkmaar is a good example of the combination of strength and technology.

本届欧洲杯小组赛第一轮是风起云涌般的“进球狂chao”。8场比赛共打进24个球,几乎是最近两届欧洲杯小组赛第一轮进球数的总和(1992年13个;1996年12个),平均每场进球达到3个。

After the dazzling "goal frenzy", the group stage entered the "mid-set adjustment period".Compared with the first round of the group stage, only 14 goals were scored in the second round, and there were three 1:0 and one 0:0.Seeing that the "offensive football" boom has just started, and "utilitarianism" has risen again, the fans have been splashed with cold water.

After a relatively dull "adjustment period", the third round of the match set off a "goal storm", scoring a total of 8 goals in 27 games.Spain, Yugoslavia and Romania's three "European Latin faction" teams played triumphant songs and reached the quarter-finals hand in hand, while the "holistic" representative German team and the "originator" England team with long passes were eliminated side by side , "Nordic Thieves" --- Sweden, Denmark and Norway do nothing, dismal exit, fully proved that the power of European football has come to an end, a new change has begun.
