magic coach

The Chinese fans in the stands were all chanting Jiang Mu’s name. Under the leadership of the Chinese fans, the Alkmaar fans also chanted, and some people made up a song about Jiang Mu and sang loudly. Those who didn’t know thought Jiang Mu Mu is the star of the team.

The phenomenon of fans chanting the head coach at the beginning of the game is indeed rare now. Modern commercial football is increasingly emphasizing and shaping the value of stars, while head coaches are increasingly moving behind the scenes. Many clubs use a dedicated marketing manager to be in charge of club operations.The head coach buys and sells players from "making decisions" to "providing advice". They are only responsible for leading the team to train and directing games. Victims and scapegoats.

Jiang Mu is obviously an exception. He is so young. He is good at five or six languages. His behavior made him the focus of the team, which is difficult for the team's stars to hide.

"Looks like I should ask you to sign me."

When the head coach shook hands, seeing the audience chanting "Jiang Mu", Robson was a little uncomfortable. It seems that the history of worshiping the head coach is already in the past, such as Cruyff, Clough, Idol-level coaches like Beckenbauer are basically dominated by stars now.

"No, it should be you who signed me. In my lifetime, if I can achieve half of your achievements, I will be satisfied."

Jiang Mu filled Robson with milk soup with a smile.

"Young man, you will definitely surpass me. But I don't want you to surpass me this season." Robson patted Jiang Mu's shoulder with a smile.

"I won't wait for you, I need you to catch up." Jiang Mu replied with a hidden smile.

"Okay, let's chase after him with my old bones."

At this time, the game started, and Robson walked back to his coach's bench, watching the performances of the players on the field with a little nervousness and a little excitement. This feeling has not appeared for a long time.

The first kick-off is the visiting team Eindhoven.

Robson has also done some research on Alkmaar's game, especially after watching the game between Alkmaar and Ajax. He found that Alkmaar's side defense ability is average, and the center defense is very strong. So he decided to open the gap from the wing, cut in and shoot from the wing, or find Van Nistelrooy with a cross.

Although Alkmaar's defense in the middle is strong, it is just their midfielder. In the penalty area, Alkmaar's two central defenders are of average level and may not be able to defend Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Robson appreciates Ruud's ability in the penalty area. At this time, Van Nistelrooy did not have the reputation of being the king of the small penalty area, but his ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area has far surpassed the average person. Robson believes that as long as the wing can pass When the ball comes out, Van Nistelrooy, who stays in the penalty area, has a chance to score the ball.

After the start of the game, Eindhoven launched an attack from the side. Van Nistelrooy and Nellis penetrated into the penalty area, ready to respond to the side and grab a shot.

Jiang Mu knew Ruud van Nistelrooy very well. In the restricted area, not to mention unknown pawns like Martens and Morris, even famous defenders like Thuram, Stam, and De Boer couldn't gain the upper hand.

It is too difficult to prevent Van Nistelrooy from scoring in the penalty area, so there are only two ways to go, one is to cut off the cross from the side, and the other is to keep Van Nistelrooy away from the penalty area.

Jiang Mu wanted to defeat Eindhoven in a dignified manner in this game, so he also chose a more active defensive tactic. The premise of the formation was to create an offside, forcing Ruud van Nistelrooy to stay away from the penalty area, and limit his performance to the minimum.

Eindhoven's wing attack had just passed the penalty area, and the three lines on Alkmaar's side mentioned about 20 meters from the front of the penalty area, leaving Van Nistelrooy at the front of the penalty area, neither retreating nor advancing.

After the offside was created, Alkmaar began to encircle and suppress the wing. The two defensive midfielders Van Bommel and Gattuso vigorously supported the wing. They must not let the opponent form a breakthrough on the wing.

Alkmaar's defensive tactics are naturally a bit risky. Once the opponent penetrates the wing, the center is very likely to form a single-handed shot. Even if Alkmaar's defenders chase back faster, the entire defense line may not be able to Standing in a good position, at this time the opponent's random organization will cause chaos in the entire defense line.

After tasting the sweetness of several defensive counterattacks, Alkmaar's coaching staff and players hope to continue to adopt a solid defensive tactic, because although they are playing at home, they are 11 points ahead of Eindhoven, and Eindhoven's offensive The will is definitely stronger than Alkmaar.

But Jiang Mu is more aware of the characteristics of this Eindhoven team. The three forwards, Bruudinke and Ruud van Nistelrooy, enjoy air dominance in the penalty area. No one is better than Nilis in seizing opportunities. The three of them cooperate in the penalty area. , who can defend Alkmaar, if all the energy is devoted to them, what about the players in the midfield?So Jiang Mu explained the problem to others, and insisted on using this oppressive style of play instead of defensive counterattack.

Eindhoven's wing attack is mainly concentrated on the right. Here, he not only has the experienced winger Nilis, but also the full-back Oyer with strong assist ability.And Alkmaar's left happens to be Suleiman, who is strong in offense and weak in defense.

Before the game, coach Robson took Alkmaar's left as a key target, and after repeated tactical drills, including attracting Alkmaar's attention, he quickly penetrated in the middle, led by Cocu Long shot forward.

Jiang Mu naturally knew where his team's weaknesses were. He also made arrangements for Suleiman's left flank, because the back line was going to be offside, and Suleiman had to assist forward. It becomes the key to the success of the defense.

Alkmaar adopted an oppressive style of play, and Eindhoven stormed Alkmaar's left. The game became very intense at the beginning. In the first 5 minutes, the strength of both sides leaned seriously to the left. Alkmaar Marr's right flank is very leisurely, but occasionally there is a long pass with a big foot. Because the ball flies too far in the air, the opponent's defense is prepared, and the ball is often destroyed and goes out of the sideline.

Although there are teammates to assist in the defense, Suleiman is still the main defensive force. Facing the opponent's forward Nilis alone, Suleiman's defense is very embarrassing.

Belgian international Nilis is very smart and good at playing football. His body is not as perverted as Drogba and Ruud van Nistelrooy, but he is also strong enough. In less than 3 minutes of the game, Suleiman was deceived by Nilis' fake moves. He pulled Nelis' jersey and was warned by the referee.

In the 5th minute, Nilis and the Swiss international Vogel in the middle cooperated to form a breakthrough again, but this time Van Bommel assisted in the defense in time and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

After 5 minutes, team deputy Van Bommel had to stay on the left, because he found that under the opponent's full attack, if he returned to the center, the left would become the opponent's corridor.

In the opening game, Alkmaar pressed forward substantially and fought aggressively, pushing PSV as a whole near the middle circle. It seemed to have the upper hand, but Robson's breakthrough on the left made Alkmaar extremely uncomfortable. It's like playing Go. You obviously surrounded your opponent, and it seems that you can slay the dragon immediately, but the opponent still has a breath, and may break out at any time, making his siege meaningless.

Jiang Mu frowned, regretting that he didn't win Van Bronthorst. With the Dutch international, the left side should be safer.

In fact, Alkmaar's weakness is not only in the left back, but also in the center back Martens and Morris are also the same group of players who played in the second division of Holland. The opponent has no chance to face the defender directly. If they face the opponent's forward directly like other teams, the central defender combination is also a weakness.I can barely play in the Eredivisie. If I enter the Champions League next season, these three positions must be replaced.

But now is not the time to regret. At this moment, Alkmaar can only use offense instead of defense, and compete with his opponents, who has a sharper offense and whose defense is worse.

In the 10th minute of the game, Jiang Mu walked to the sidelines and gave the players an order to attack. Jiang Mu also gestured to the fans in the stands, asking them to work harder for the players.

The fans in the stands saw that their team did not take any real advantage in the first 10 minutes, and they were also a little anxious. They all clapped and sang Alkmaar's team song desperately, encouraging their players to score goals quickly.

Under thunderous applause, Alkmaar, who received the order to attack, launched the most violent attack since the start of the match.The back line continued to advance, assisting the midfielder to hold the ball and put pressure on PSV.

Alkmaar has one more midfielder than Eindhoven, and has a slight advantage in possession. Altidore and Thomasson continue to intersperse and cooperate, creating opportunities for Drogba.Suleiman finally made use of his strengths and circumvented his weaknesses. He played his specialty in side assists, constantly attacked Oyer's right-sided defense, and sent crosses from time to time with the help of Dirk.

Alkmaar's offense looked vigorous, but PSV played very tenaciously under the leadership of veteran Cocu. Drogba, the monster, cleared most of Alkmaar's crosses and lobs, and Cocu intercepted the players who plugged in. Alkmaar's offense was only a formality, but no real threat.

In the 15th minute of the game, the 1.9-meter-zero Brookink cleared the ball to the right. When the winger Nilis got the ball, he made a smart pick and picked Suleiman who was eager to grab the ball.Suleiman turned around again, only Nelis's back was left in his eyes.

The Belgian got rid of Suleiman, advanced at high speed, and went straight into Alkmaar's half from the left.

Van Bommel, who had been staring at Nilis, didn't expect Suleiman to be caught so easily. His help defense was one step too late, unable to break the ball out of the baseline, so he could only follow closely behind Nilis and chase wildly.Van Bommel's defense is excellent, his speed is average, and Nilis is not very fast, but Van Bommel is only a dozen centimeters behind, chasing, unable to catch up, and fouls cannot reach.

Seeing that Eindhoven made a breakthrough on the wing, the fans of Alkmaar were so nervous that they forgot to sing and applaud, and they all stared at the field tightly.

Seeing a breakthrough on the side, Van Nistelrooy and Bruckink, the forwards of Eindhoven, were like hungry dogs who saw the meat and bones, and immediately ran forward to meet Nilis on the side.

Forward Ruud van Nistelrooy is not fast, but defenders Martens and Morris are not too fast, the three reached the penalty area almost at the same time. Follow closely.

Alkmaar's three defenses and two defenses in the middle, Alkmaar's fans are a little more relaxed, feeling less dangerous.

But Jiang Mu still kept complaining. He knew Ruud van Nistelrooy's power in the penalty area. Two quasi-Eredivisie defenders like Martens and Morris were hard to defend.

Nilis made a high-speed bottom pass, but Van Bommel struggled to intercept it but did not stop it.

Van Nistelrooy jumped desperately under the pressure of Martens and Morris. When the ball reached the top of Van Nistelrooy's head, due to the interference of the defender, Van Nistelrooy's jumping position was slightly forward.Faced with this situation, the ball that the general striker pushes is often higher than the crossbar. The fans of Alkmaar are relieved, thinking that the crisis is over.

But at this moment, Ruud took advantage of the good advantage of staying in the air, allowing the two guards Martens and Morris who jumped together with him to land first, and also bought himself time to control the landing point of the high-altitude ball. He leaned back and used his forehead a little, Sent the ball into Alkmaar's net.

1: 0.

Eindhoven took the lead.
