I am the head coach

Chapter 336 Alkmaar

Unknowingly, the time came to April 4, the penultimate round of the Eredivisie will be held on this day.

And the opponent is also very strong, this team is Alkmaar.

Alkmaar currently ranks No.5 in the standings, second only to No.4 The Hague.

As for points, Den Haag is 4 points higher.

It is a relatively safe advantage, but after all, there are still three rounds in the league.

So it's not safe, Xue Yang made preparations very seriously.

If The Hague wins in the end, then the No.4 position of The Hague must be stable.

In the last two rounds, we can fight for No.3. Of course, the hope may not be that great.

However, bad news soon came, that is, Xu Qiang, who had performed amazingly before, was in extremely bad condition today.

Of course, Xue Yang had no choice but to put him on the bench.

If it wasn't for taking care of Xu Qiang's psychology, Xue Yang might not even let him in the big list.

Because he will definitely not play in this game, unless there is an injury.

As for Alkmaar, there is also a Chinese player, and he is the former Tianjin Wei striker Zheng Jinshan.

When he was in Dortmund before, his performance was very average.

It was directly compared by Qin Zhen, but fortunately, he came to Alkmaar later.

Zheng Jinshan improved after that, and now he is also the team's main striker.

Time passed very quickly, and soon the game was about to start.

Xue Yang looked at Alkmaar's starting lineup, they are in a 4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper: 1 Lochte;
Defenders: 24 Harpers, 30 Wittens, 12 Vlaar, 2 Johnson;
Midfielders: 8 Van Overlin, 10 Henriksen, 17 Lienstra;
Forwards: 19 Santos, 18 Zheng Jinshan, 9 Jahanbakhsh.

Sure enough, Zheng Jinshan started today, and he is definitely the point that Xue Yang is most worried about.

And Zheng Jinshan also very much hopes to prove himself in front of Xue Yang. When he was in Tianjin Wei, he was not considered the team's main forward.

Zheng Jinshan has always been worried about this point, and he is 21 years old, and he is still on loan.

The players who studied abroad at the same time as him have now transferred to the team.

So after the end of this loan, Zheng Jinshan also wants to transfer and leave the team.

He doesn't want to rent anymore, not only the issue of salary, but also other things.

As for their tactical lineup, although it is a 4-3-3 formation, they are a combination of a single central midfielder and two defensive midfielders.

So their tactics are more defensive, which is what Xue Yang is more worried about.

The Hague also adopted a 4-3-3 formation. Of course, The Hague is a combination of a single midfielder and double central midfielder.

Goalkeeper: 1 Ruyter (74);
后卫：26威廉斯（76），3鲁本·迪亚斯（73），4什克里尼亚尔（74），12金强（78）；
中场：6扎卡里亚（74），16德容（74），23米林科维奇（77）；
前锋：11丹朱马（76），9阿莱（77），20拉菲尼亚（76）。

Now Den Haag's strength is indeed good, and if it is improved, it can even wrestle with the strong teams in the five major leagues.

Xue Yang is looking forward to next year's Europa League, Xue Yang hopes to get a good result.

At this time Xue Yang was standing on the sidelines, watching the direction of the court.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

After the game started, Den Haag took the lead in attacking.

But Alkmaar's defense is very good, and it is still relatively difficult to play.

Alkmaar's midfield configuration is good, with Henriksen at the core.

Henriksen is not bad as a midfielder, which is what Xue Yang needs to pay attention to.

Although he has not played in the future, his ability is definitely possible.

However, Den Haag has a higher midfield configuration, so Den Haag has a greater advantage in terms of ball possession.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Den Haag launched an attack.

After successfully defending Alkmaar, Den Haag launched a counterattack.

Rafinha got the ball, but he was surrounded by several defenders.

This put Rafinha in an embarrassing situation. Dribbling forward is definitely not possible, so he can only choose to pass the ball.

So Rafinha passed the football to the middle and found the midfielder Zakaria.

Before Zakaria received the pass, he noticed that the right back Jin Qiang was running forward.

So he stuffed the football to the right again, and the through ball was not too early.

Jin Qiang caught up with the football very comfortably, then stopped the football and began to observe.

But soon there were defensive players following up, and Jin Qiang did not hesitate, he decisively passed the football to the penalty area with a long pass.

Because he noticed the position of forward Allais, as a forward Allais has height.

So finding him with a long pass like this is a very correct choice.

Jin Qiang believes in Alai's strength and believes that Alai can receive football.

At this time, Allais was running at full speed towards the penalty area, and at the same time there were two Alkmaar defenders running back in front of him.

All three of them saw the football, and the two Alkmaar players knew that Allais must not be allowed to receive the pass.

Allais is now somewhat famous in the Eredivisie, and his scoring efficiency is still very high.

The football chased towards the penalty area, and at this time the players on both sides judged the landing point.

In fact, they need to check Alai's position at this time, after all, he has this ability.

But they came to focus on the header, and it was not enough to fight against Allais' body.

Under such circumstances, they failed to top Allais.

Allais headed the ball first, but his position was near the penalty spot.

This position wants to head the ball directly, but the fact is a bit reluctant.

In addition, there are defensive players in front of him, so Allai knows that he should give the ball to his teammates.

It's just that he can't see the position of his teammates, he is the one at the top.

So he headed a little bit and pushed the football to his right.

He could only pray for his teammates behind him, and his prayers were indeed granted.

De Jong was right behind him, and De Jong ran towards the football.

I saw De Jong stopped the football on his chest first, and the football fell down, and then he kicked directly towards the falling football with his left foot.

His movements are smooth and flowing, and his posture is also very chic.

Alkmaar's goalkeeper Lochte has long noticed De Jong's position and has been preventing De Jong from this point.

So when De Jong hit the goal, Lochte made a save.

However, the speed of the volley was still fast. Although Lochte tried very hard to save it, it still didn't help.

The football still flew into the goal and hit the net hard.

The Hague is 1-0 ahead!
De Jong scored the first goal of the game!
