magic coach

Alkmaar's victory confuses many people. A group of youngsters who have just joined, under the command of a youngster who is not a few years older than them, easily defeated Ligue 6 veteran Nantes. The score of zero to zero is not too big. Compared with the 0:[-] kill of Anderlecht in the last game, this is a very mild score, but the Alkmaar team that defeated Anderlecht was formed last season team, it was a rabble that beat Nantes.

Some people said that Alkmaar was lucky and scored several set kicks. Some said that Nantes played carelessly and came to the Netherlands purely to deal with it. Some people thought that Nantes did not adapt to Alkmaar's flexibility. tactics.

There have always been doubts about Alkmaar's signings and future. For this, Jiang Mu gave a simple explanation at the press conference after the game.

"The strength of a team does not depend on age. Football is a sport for young people."

"We have seven players from the Netherlands, or have played in the Netherlands. Understanding is not a problem. In the frontcourt, we have a lot of offensive space and a small number of defensive players. In this case, we can no longer cooperate. I sent them directly to the second team for training."

"Running actively, using one's own strengths, and grasping the opponent's weaknesses is the key to our winning, and we will continue to win, victory brings victory, even if it is a warm-up match, as long as we can win, we don't want to lose. "

Now the influence of the Alkmaar team is only around Alkmaar, and there are very few fans from other places. Alkmaar is a small place, and a newspaper can be seen from one end of the street to the other. Jiang Mu briefly introduced His own team easily dispelled the doubts of many fans and relieved the pressure on the club.

Alkmaar's next opponent is Sporting Lisbon.

Sporting Lisbon is one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League. It is not as famous as Benfica and Porto, but it is also a Portuguese giant. It has won the European Cup Winners Cup and has trained superstars such as Eusebio and Figo. Later, Ronaldo and Nani Also from Sporting Lisbon, last season Sporting Lisbon ranked fourth in the league, they are the strongest opponents in Alkmaar's warm-up match.

This was contacted by Mr. Dirk, the chairman of Alkmaar. Alkmaar is responsible for the accommodation and play of Sporting Lisbon, so Sporting Lisbon is still reluctant to come to the Netherlands to play against a newly promoted horse.

Jiang Mu cherishes such an opponent very much, and made detailed and thoughtful arrangements before the match, just like Rui.Jorge, Paul.Su and other stars have done key care.

In the starting lineup, Jiang Mu also made adjustments. The main goal is to train and run in, but Jiang Mu's choice is more stable. He doesn't want to be defeated by his opponent when the league is about to start, which will affect the confidence of the players and let the outside world People who are ready to watch themselves hilarious spread rumors.

The formation changed from 343 back to 433,.

The goalkeeper was replaced by No. 1 Silva. Compared with the younger Cesar, Silva is more stable.

The defense has returned to the four backs of last season: left back No. 4 Suleiman, center back No. 2 Martens, No. 3 Morris, right back No. 5 Blomkamp,

Three midfielders No. 8 Van Bommel, No. 10 Altidore, No. 6 Enke,

The three strikers are: No. 9 Drogba, No. 11 Thomason, No. 18 Dirk,

This lineup is Dutch except for Drogba and Thomason. Thomason has played for Heerenveen in the Netherlands for many years and is very familiar with Dutch football. This Alkmaar team is an enhanced version of last season. , the striker is taller and stronger, the back line is more stable, the assists are sharper, and the midfielder Van Bommel still has a certain organizational ability.

Seeing Jiang Mu giving this lineup, the fans of Alkmaar feel relieved. Although Sporting Lisbon is very strong, this lineup has achieved unprecedented results last season. Both fans, players and clubs are full of confidence in this lineup and style of play. .

Confidence, it turns out, is as precious as gold.

After the start of the game, the fans saw the magnificent Alkmaar team from last season. The front, middle and back three lines frantically pressed and oppressed. completely submerged.

Sporting Lisbon was not fully prepared. They thought they were here to play a training match, but it turned out that the intensity of this match was similar to a life-and-death battle. They were all robbed, and the smooth cooperation was gone. I can't remember the flower work, and some are just physical entanglements.

Physical confrontation is Alkmaar's favorite. There is no player under 1.8 meters in their entire team. In addition, they are very strong. Young people are not afraid of injury or desperate.Sporting Lisbon, which is originally a Latin style of play, is like a scholar meeting a soldier, and there is nothing to do.

The head coach Queiroz watched his players being robbed by the opponent, like an amateur team, but he was helpless, fighting against the opponent, this is impossible, the league is about to start, and fighting with these wild children, then There is another good thing, but if you don't fight hard, you can't play this game. Apart from physical confrontation, you can't practice any tactics. The three foreign players I sent can't even touch the ball, let alone perform.

"Their high-intensity full-court pressing won't last long."

The words of the assistant coach Paul next to him made Queiroz feel a little better, and said: "Pay attention to remind the players not to stick the ball in the backcourt, play more neatly, and try not to lose the ball in the first half."

Queiroz lowered his goal. Before he came, he wanted to give this arrogant Chinese a technical lesson. Now a draw is acceptable to him.

Queiroz wants peace, but Jiang Mu doesn't think so. All those who come to the Dehout Stadium are enemies. How can the enemies come to the door to let him retreat unscathed.

"Press up, hit hard, try to score the first goal."

Jiang Mu waved his fists vigorously towards the court. When young people play games, they just go all out, and then they lose their energy. If they don't beat their opponents, they lose their energy. They are likely to be hurt by their opponents.

Jiang Mu's encouragement made the team play more passionately, especially the few newly joined young people. They are determined to show their abilities in front of the fans and prove that they are worthy of their annual salary.

At the end of the 18th minute of the game, Alkmaar striker Drogba and Van Bommel surrounded Paul in the front field.Su succeeded, Van Bommel crossed the ball to Altidore, and Drogba quickly inserted from the ribs to the penalty area.

Sporting Lisbon's defenders had suffered enough from Drogba before, the big black man was too strong, he couldn't kick or pull, seeing Drogba rushing towards the penalty area, Sporting Lisbon's midfielder and defenders came up to close the door together , trying to prevent Drogba from entering the penalty area, but Drogba, like a bulldozer, directly squeezed away two defenders who looked like bean sprouts in front of them, rushed into the penalty area, and then beckoned to Altidore for the ball.

In the last game, Klose, Dirk, and Thomason all scored goals, but Drogba, who had the second highest salary, did not score, which put him under a lot of pressure. He felt that he had let Jiang Mu down on him. His trust and respect, he fought very hard in this game, just wanting to score a goal.

Altidore didn't expect that Drogba could break through the opponent's double-team and enter the penalty area. When he tried to pass the ball again, the good opportunity had already been missed. Kurit.

At this time, Suleiman has already inserted into the frontcourt to assist. After the running-in of last season, the pair of partners Dirk and Suleiman have become very harmonious from the beginning of friction. Suleiman, Suleiman immediately gave him a wall fit and hit the ball behind the defender.

Dirk Driven cut in at high speed, overtook forcibly, and passed the ball into the penalty area to find Drogba before the Sporting Lisbon defender intercepted.

Drogbazam's position is excellent, just at the point where the ball's flight arc falls, and it is difficult for players in front of him to touch the ball.

The players of Sporting Lisbon are not fools, they are very smart, and they can see the importance of where the ball lands and Drogba's position at a glance. The No. 4 central defender immediately stepped forward to push Drogba away. But Drogba is like a mountain, motionless, ready to head the goal.

No. 4 was in a hurry at the end. When Drogba wanted to jump up, he just pulled Drogba's collar and dragged him to the ground. Drogba's jersey was torn and looked like a shirt.

force!

The referee's whistle blew.

penalty!

There were cheers and applause in the stands, and some fans shouted the name "Drogba", but because Drogba had just joined, many people called the name wrong.

Jiang Mu was very calm and did not cheer. He gestured to Altidore on the field. Altidore nodded to Jiang Mu, indicating that he understood that he had already memorized the technical characteristics of Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Pinto.

force!

The referee signaled that Altidore could kick.

Altidore stood in front of the ball and made a slight run-up, paused in the middle, and shot the lower left corner of the goal with his arch.

1: 0.

Alkmaar leads.

The stands turned into a sea of ​​joy, and everyone stood up and applauded, shouting the name of "Altidore".

Altidore was also surrounded by the players and pressed to the ground.

Jiang Mu on the sidelines jumped up enthusiastically and shook his fists continuously, making the atmosphere of the stadium even more enthusiastic.

However, after finishing this passionate celebration, Jiang Mu found that Drogba did not participate in the celebration. The careful Jiang Mu did not think that Drogba was unfamiliar with his teammates. It must be that he failed to score a goal just now, and was punished by Altidore for creating a penalty, and he felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Mu waved to Drogba, Drogba walked to the sidelines, Jiang Mu hugged him, and said: "You did a great job just now, I believe the goal will come soon, don't worry, it's just now Warm-up match."

Encouraged by Jiang Mu, Drogba swept away the disappointment just now, and said with high spirits: "Coach, I will definitely score a goal in a while. Look, I will dedicate the goal to you."

Jiang Mu chuckled and patted Drogba on the shoulder, "I believe in you, and I also dedicate myself to the fans who support you. He applauded for you just now."

"Yes, I will." Drogba clenched his fists and ran to the court.
