magic coach

Two weeks before the start of the Eredivisie, many teams have already started training. Scheringa once again met with Sebadian, the agent of French central defender Ismail, in the office of the De Hoult Stadium. During this meeting, Sierinja put pressure on Ismail's agent. In terms of annual salary, Sierinja did not make any concessions, because it would affect the salary structure of the entire team, but she privately expressed that if it is successful , Alkmaar's side can also give him a benefit of 10 US dollars.

Sebadian was moved by this suggestion from Scheringa, and he got two commissions. For him, he definitely hoped that the transfer would be successful. On the one hand, he persuaded Ismail and strongly praised Jiang Mu's coaching ability and the level of player development.In addition, they put pressure on Crystal Palace to say that Ismail is tired of staying in England and they must leave.

Under Sebadian's strong push, the transfer began to accelerate. In front of the media, the chairman of Crystal Palace admitted that there was no major difference between the two clubs on the transfer fee. He told the "Times": "Alk This offer from Marr is constructive."

However, Crystal Palace has not given the final nod. The reason for this is not the transfer fee, but whether Crystal Palace can finally find a player who can replace Ismail. Chinese central defender Fan Yi cannot completely replace Ismail.

As coach Bruce said: "This position is too important to us. If our defense is full of holes because of this, it is useless to give us 1000 million pounds. Our employment policy must be for the club and for us. The fans are responsible and we have to think carefully about it."

Bruce's implication is that if Crystal Palace finds an ideal successor for Ismail, this exchange business can be done.

Of course, Jiang Mu and Alkmaar can't wait for Crystal Palace to find a suitable central defender. They must put temptation and pressure on Crystal Palace.

Not long after Bruce delivered his speech, Jiang Mu personally went to France to visit Ismail. In the coffee shop, Jiang Mu had a secret conversation with the ill-fated goatee central defender.

Although no one disclosed the specific content of the meeting afterwards, but many years later, when Ismail recalled the meeting, he said: "I have been hesitant because I was born in Ligue [-], and Ligue [-] is important to me. I am more familiar and don’t need to take any risks. The trip to League One has already made me tired and scared, but Jiang Mu made me feel the soul of a great coach. Although he is only one year older than me, he is much more mature than me , His past glory and vision for the future made me dumbfounded, I admit that I have a hero complex, he is Napoleon in my mind, and I am determined to build a career with him."

After the meeting between Ismail and Jiang Mu appeared in the French "L'Equipe", the head coach of Crystal Palace Bruce was furious. He thought Jiang Mu was provocative and disrespected the rules of the football circle. He refused such a transfer.

But on the transfer issue, Ismail's attitude became clearer. He expressed his appreciation for Jiang Mu's coaching style and hoped to go to the Netherlands to try new challenges and life.

After Alkmaar slapped Crystal Palace, he immediately gave Crystal Palace a piece of candy. Scheringa announced that he would add 20 US dollars to the transfer fee to help Crystal Palace find a suitable central defender.

In the face of money, everything can be taken back. The Crystal Palace immediately changed their tune and called Alkmaar's behavior "a very sincere offer." We must seriously consider this. This is not only a transfer, but also a relationship between the two parties. Friendship, before the start of the season, they played a friendly match.

So far, Ismail's transfer obstacles have been basically eliminated, and the rest is just the discussion of details, and these don't need the head coach Jiang Mu to bother, he just leads the team to train and prepare for the winter break In the first game against Ajax after the period, the details of the contract will be discussed by the team's lawyers.

A week before the end of the winter break, many players from Alkmaar have come here one after another. Although these players have returned, their bodies are still on vacation, mainly led by assistant coach Lin Nazhou and fitness coach Boden. They do restorative training.

January 29th in the Netherlands is Chinese New Year's Eve, a foreign country, and there is no festive atmosphere at all.There are few Chinese and foreign students, and the Dutch almost don’t know about this festival, so New Year’s Eve has no taste of New Year’s Eve at all.

Of course, there are exceptions. There is a grand celebration ceremony in The Hague every year. Generally, the Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands and the mayor of The Hague will attend. After the celebration, there will be a formal banquet, but only those who are invited can participate in the banquet.

The Spring Festival activities organized by overseas Chinese are more lively than those in China. Lion dances, firecrackers, martial arts performances, plus red lanterns, Peking Opera facial makeup, paper-cutting, beating of gongs and drums, and the excitement of red and green are full of "Chinese elements". Many places have disappeared.

At the beginning Jiang Mu was very interested, but after several years of Spring Festival, he felt that there was no big difference from the domestic ones. He missed the warmth of family reunion and eating dumplings together.

But now that Jiang Mu is a celebrity in the Netherlands, he must be invited to such a celebration banquet, and Jiang Mu can't shirk it, because these Chinese are his fans, and they go to the scene to support him in every game. Not only does he want to participate in this celebration ceremony, Even the Alkmaar club also sent marketing manager Scheringa to The Hague to express congratulations in order to deal with Chinese fans.

At the celebration ceremony, Jiang Mu was very happy that he did not see the flies of Sima Beiluo Fangfang, because Qiao Qiao did not participate. It is said that Ambassador Tan said that Qiao Qiao returned to China to deal with some matters, just in time for the Spring Festival, so he spent it at home After the Spring Festival, I will return to the Netherlands.

Zhao Guangming also did not come back from China. He asked the club for three days off and returned to the Netherlands after the Spring Festival. Although the Netherlands did not celebrate the Spring Festival, they respected Chinese traditions, and the club granted Zhao Guangming a vacation.

Knowing that Jiang Mu was alone, she was afraid that he would be lonely on New Year's Eve, so she stayed at Jiang Mu's place, learned how to make dumplings from Jiang Mu, and watched four sets of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala at this time is not so brain-dead and bloody. You can listen to songs, laugh at sketches, and listen to cross talk. Jiang Mu never misses it every year. He translates it for Schelinga. After Jiang Mu's processing , making Skhrinja laugh uncontrollably.

Jiang Mu is not very good at making dumplings, and Sihelinjia is even a layman. After the dumplings made by the two of them are put into the pot, they basically become noodle soup.

The dumplings were not well wrapped or eaten, but Jiang Mu and Si Helinjia spent a meaningful and passionate New Year's Eve. After watching the Spring Festival Gala, the two had several successes before embracing and falling asleep.

The next day is New Year’s Day. In China, everyone must get up early, because they are either going to pay New Year’s greetings to others, or accepting New Year’s greetings from others, but Jiang Mu is not ready at all. No one else came to greet him.

When Jiang Mu and Siherinjia were still sleeping with their heads covered, the doorbell rang. Jiang Mu didn't stop seeing him at first, but the doorbell rang very patiently. Jiang Mu had to get dressed and open the door to see Who are the people who come to visit at this time.

As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Mu was taken aback. If it wasn't for the fact that all the people who came were his team members, he would have thought that something had happened to him.

"Coach Jiang, happy new year."

The leader is Van Bommel, the acting captain of Alkmaar. He cupped his fists and greeted Jiang Mu as soon as he entered the door. Behind Van Bommel, almost all the main Dutch players such as Drogba and Klose arrived. They stepped forward one by one. Happy New Year to Jiang Mu.Jiang Mu was embarrassed that he couldn't follow the Chinese custom of giving red envelopes to those who paid New Year's greetings, because he hadn't thought of it beforehand, but Schelinga seemed to have heard about the players coming to give Jiang Mu New Year's greetings.They even gave each team member a red envelope.

In the morning, the two of them still ate the dumplings made by themselves, but the two of them needed to be smart, instead of boiling them in a pot, they steamed them on a steamer. Sure enough, the dumplings were not broken this time, and they were still delicious.

After breakfast, Jiang Mu went to Dehout Stadium for training, and Schelinga went to England to sign a contract with Ismail. After today, Ismail really belongs to Alkmaar. On February 2, Alkmaar Marr held a press conference, and both Ismail and Lucio would come to the Netherlands to meet the fans.

Scheringa's signing with Ismail in England went smoothly. In the end, Alkmaar won Ismail with a transfer fee of 200 million US dollars. Ismail's annual salary is 50 US dollars. Same top salary as Thomason.

On the second day of the fan meeting, the stadium was full. The fans all understood the importance of the arrival of these two central defenders. The final stage of the first half was too difficult and dangerous. If they want to win the league championship again in 18 years, the supplementary central defender is necessary.

Ismail and Lucio were also very excited at the press conference. Ismail said: "The Netherlands is a great country and the birthplace of Total Football. There have been countless superstars here. I am very happy to be able to attack the championship together with the fans of Alkmaar, and I believe that our defense will not become a burden for our companions."

Lucio has just made his debut, and his performance is much more restrained. "It was my childhood dream to play in Europe. I am very grateful to Alkmaar for giving me a chance to realize my dream. The Netherlands is a place where countless Brazilian seniors have fought. , Romario, and Ronaldo are all famous here. I hope to follow in their footsteps and help the team win the league championship. I am unknown, but it costs the team $100 million. I believe every fan wants to see it Is it worth it, I can guarantee that every guilder spent by Alkmaar will not be wasted."

The speeches of Lucio and Ismail made the fans excited. When they were performing on the court, the two tall central defenders not only performed some tricks, but also performed a single-handed battle of offense and defense on the spot, allowing the fans to see I saw Lucio Brazilian's excellent technology and offensive ability, and also saw Ismail's strong defense.

The planning of this fan meeting was very successful. Lucio and Ismail gave the fans a good impression and laid a good foundation for their subsequent games.
