Thomasson's goal drew a pause in the first half. The demoralized Sparta Rotterdam team was unable to organize a counterattack. Under Alkmaar's continuous attack, they could only defend passively.

After scoring two goals, Alkmaar felt relaxed, his shooting accuracy decreased, and he failed to grasp several opportunities. After a corner kick was cleared by Sparta Rotterdam, the referee blew the first half. The whistle for the end of the game.

The players of Sparta Rotterdam lowered their heads and quickly left the stadium and walked into the mixed channel. Only Alkmaar's players were still interacting with the fans on the field.

Except for the first ten minutes of the first half, Alkmaar played very well. It was like a storm on offense, and they didn’t give their opponents many opportunities on defense. They may not have played perfectly, but in the first game, Holland It is commendable to be able to withstand the pressure and play at such a level in the League One.

Back in the locker room, Jiang Mu gave everyone a bear hug and commented on their most exciting performance in the game. Jiang Mu's very humane way of praise made every player feel happy and had a sense of accomplishment. Even players who don't perform much feel that they are one of the heroes of the team, not just soy sauce.

"In the first half, everyone played well and executed tactical orders very well. Maybe now you will think, are we being too careful, and the opponents are mediocre, but don't think like this, don't underestimate any opponent, if we are defeated This kind of experienced opponent scores a goal, do you think it will be so easy to play in the future? Football is war, and war must seize the initiative and let the opponent follow our rhythm instead of us adapting to the opponent's Rhythm."

Jiang Mu first poured cold water on the players. Please, from the end of last season to the present, Alkmaar has been invincible. Although the arrogance and arrogance can’t be seen yet, it will definitely grow in the dark. In the recent period of time In the process of communicating with the team members, Jiang Mu has always emphasized the idea of ​​guarding against arrogance and impetuosity.

"... In the first half, it seemed that we won by seizing the opponent's weakness, but in fact this was not the case, because no matter how weak the opponent's left flank is, it cannot be penetrated by one attack. Our victory stems from Our hard work and active running allowed us to have more ball possessions and to continuously attack the opponent's weaknesses, so Sparta Rotterdam finally collapsed. We want to continue to score in the second half, or guarantee In order not to be overturned by the opponent, we must continue to maintain the high pressure in the first half and prevent them from having too many offensive opportunities, well, the following specific questions will be arranged by coach Lin Nazhou for you."

Lin Nazhou took out a notebook, which recorded the results of his consultation with Jiang Mu and the assistant coaches in the first half.

"Ahem, let me talk about our problems in the first half, and things that need attention in the second half..."

Lin Nazhou briefly summarized some problems that occurred in the first half, and then focused on how the players should play in the second half.It is mainly about the possession of the ball and how to prevent the opponent from playing behind. I have already talked about these a lot during training, but this time I will only talk about the specific effects of the opponent.

In the second half, Alkmaar kicked off first.

Thomason and Drogba, standing in the middle circle, passed the ball to the backcourt. They also ran forward quickly, preparing to suppress the opponent's defense. In the second half, their task was still to suppress the opponent in their half.

In the first half, they were attacked by their opponents and lost two goals. In the second half, Sparta Rotterdam was unwilling to continue to defend. After Alkmaar kicked off, they aggressively premised the defense and played anti-offside tactics.

Although Alkmaar's center Drogba is full of explosive power, his turn and speed cannot be regarded as a top shooter, especially he is not good at walking between offside and not offside like Inzaghi. Resist, kill a way out of the crowd, or hold the ball under the double-team of the defender to create opportunities for teammates.

The anti-offside tactics made Alkmaar a little uncomfortable. Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Drogba fell into the opponent's offside trap twice, which made Alkmaar a little frustrated.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Mu sneered, and immediately walked to the sidelines, shouting at Drogba, "Didier, you and Thomason change positions."

Drogba heard Jiang Mu's shout, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and gave Jiang Mu an ok gesture.

Next, the opportunistic striker Thomason came to the center, while the center Drogba came to Thomason's wing.

Alkmaar did not make a substitution. This exchange of positions on the striker line did not arouse too much vigilance by Sparta Rotterdam. They still made a big premise of the defense line and played anti-offside tactics against Alkmaar's half. Pressing, wanting to control the ball more in his own hands.

Thomasson is different from Drogba. He was hailed as "more than Inzaghi" in the later stage. The essence of his technique is the two words "grab points".Most of the time, he always likes to stand on the same level as the opponent's defender. At the moment when his assist player passes the ball, he judges the trajectory and landing point of the ball before the opponent's defender, and starts quickly at the first time. Simple and practical moves to score goals, it is rare that he can always grasp the propensity to start. Of course, Thomason in this period is not as strong as later, but this characteristic has already been shown.

The players of Sparta Rotterdam know Thomasson, but not that deeply, and even if they know it, it is not very useful. You can’t be negligent for nine or 10 minutes in a game. This kind of players have patience. They can There is no performance in 89 minutes of a game, but when he appears in front of the camera, it is often the time to seal the throat with a sword.

After Thomason came to the middle, Altidore seized the opportunity to pass two balls to Thomason, but one kick was intercepted by the opponent's defender, and the other pass, Thomason started a bit late , The ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the second half, Sparta played much more tenaciously than in the first half, but Alkmaar, who occupied the home court, still lost the advantage in possession of the ball, and the ball was more controlled by the Alkmaar players.

With the possession of the ball, there are more offensive opportunities.

When the game progressed to No. 605 minutes, Drogba took the ball, and his speed was difficult to get rid of the opponent's full back to form a breakthrough. He cut across from the side to the center, trying to take the opportunity to hit the goal.

Thomasson in the middle walks to the wing to make room for Drogba to move.

Seeing that it was Drogba, the beast, walking towards the center, the central defender who felt the danger came out immediately, and he wanted to pinch Drogba with the forward who followed Drogba.

Drogba saw that the chances of shooting and breakthrough were not great, so he passed the ball to Altidore who wanted the ball.

Altidore found the characteristics of Thomason's running position after passing the ball with the first two feet. When Drogba passed the ball, he pulled the ball and turned around. The defensive player then pushed his arch and sent a through pass to the back of the Sparta Rotterdam defender.

Thomason, who was running towards the wing, seemed to have anticipated Altidore's pass in advance. Almost at the same time as Altidore passed the ball, he suddenly half-turned forward and got rid of the central defender who was defending him. At this time, the ball just rolled in front of him. Thomason followed the ball to the penalty area and poked the ball before the goalkeeper hit the ball. The ball rolled into the net from the goalkeeper's crotch.

From the pass to the shot, Thomason touched the ball and the ball went in.At this time, the defenders of Sparta Rotterdam were still raising their hands to signal Thomasson to be offside. They couldn't imagine how Thomasson could make a breakthrough in this instant. The speed of the Danes is not that fast.

3: 0!

Thomason got up and stumbled towards Altidore who passed the ball to him, but he was robbed by Drogba halfway. African Andy Lau hugged Thomason and threw the already tall Danish People hugged.

At this time, please check that your teammates have also arrived. They joined in this carnival, lifted Thomason who scored twice, threw them into the sky, and vented their happiness to their heart's content.

"Thomasson!"

"Thomasson!"

The fans in the stands cheered the Danes' names, and they waved the fan scarves in the air, and the whole stadium became a sea of ​​red and white scarves.

"Three to zero! Alkmaar continued their journey of great victory. In Jiang Mu's previous game, Alkmaar had only one game with less than three goals, and now the game has just passed 65 minutes. Alkmaar Scored three more goals, and Sparta Rotterdam will definitely work hard later, so that Alkmaar will have more opportunities, let us wait and see if they score more goals."

The commentator gave a lot of data, including not only the number of goals and conceded goals of Jiang Mu's team last season, the time of scoring, but also the goal data of the warm-up match. Although there is a computer now, the commentator It is also true that Alkmaar has done a lot of research on this newly promoted horse.

Maher, the former captain of Alkmaar, admired Jiang Mu's on-the-spot adaptability, saying: "Generally young coaches lack the on-the-spot adaptability, but China's Jiang is obviously different. He is very daring to change the formation, and just switching Thomasson and Drogba is really a stroke of genius, which shows his insight into the game and his ability to know people and take care of them."

Of course, Jiang Mu couldn't see and hear Maher's comments. If he heard it, he would definitely be grinning from ear to ear. What kind of insight and knowledge and responsibility? Just make the most reasonable analysis of the game and come up with the best response plan, and all he needs to do is make a decision.

The head coach of Sparta Rotterdam, Evans, has been clenching his fists and sweating. He has been looking forward to a miracle. His goalkeeper Dell can save the team again, because [-]-[-] can basically cut off the score. The team had all hopes of an equalizer, but the goalkeeper Dale failed to save Sparta Rotterdam, the goal was still scored, Evans let go of his hand weakly, sighed, the game must be lost, he still has to go again Make the last effort, in the first game, facing the newly promoted, even if you lose, you have to score a goal.So Evans signaled his striker Richard to prepare, and he wanted to play the four strikers to make the last fight.
