The draw ceremony for the second round of the Holland Cup was held between 38 professional teams and 26 amateur teams. Secondary team East Roots.

The amateur second-level team is also two levels higher than the Eastern Dragon, but they are amateurs after all, and there is no qualitative difference between them and the Eastern Dragon. Having lost, they already have the confidence to leapfrog challenges. They are not afraid of amateur second-tier teams, but have the mentality of eager to try.

Facts quickly proved that the Eastern Dragons have now been reborn. In the match against Donggen, who was two levels higher than them, the Eastern Dragons used flexible tactics, weird formations, and sharp counterattacks to defeat Donggen. In the end, they entered the third round with a score of 4:1, tying their best result in the Dutch Cup 20 years ago.

Becoming 32 winners in the Dutch Cup made Dongfang Dragon and Jiang Mu the heroes of Alkmaar. They even stole a lot of fans from Alkmaar, the symbol of Alkmaar. Few people pay attention to the training at all, and now there are fans wandering around the stadium of the Eastern Dragon every day, and a training game within the team can attract hundreds of fans, which was something that the Eastern Dragon Club could not have imagined of.

However, Jiang Mu was not dazzled by the victory. He was sober. His goal was not to equal Lin Nazhou's record. In his 100 years of life, if he can't create a football miracle, he is simply too useless.

After entering the third round, there are only 32 teams left to participate in the Dutch Cup, and only 5 amateur teams. Now luck does not play much role. Every step of any team needs strength as a basis. This time in At the lottery ceremony, Li Wei finally didn't continue to be lucky. He drew out the current favorite team Alkmaar.

After the lottery results came out, almost everyone sentenced the Eastern Dragons to death. No one thought that the Eastern Dragons could pass Alkmaar, because Alkmaar is now the leader of the second division. Judging from the strength of Alkmaar, they have reached the technical and tactical level of the middle and lower reaches of the first division team.Far above the fourth-level amateur team, the Eastern Dragons.

Originally, the unexpected victory of the Eastern Dragons in the Dutch Cup has already attracted attention in Alkmaar City. When they were in the limelight, they won the Alkmaar team again. The most popular topics in the media.Fans all over the city are discussing whether the Orient Dragons, which appeared in the Dutch Cup as a dark horse, can hack Alkmaar and move on. Holland Cup champion, and at the same time successfully rushed to the armor.

Of course, fans of Alkmaar do not agree with the statement about the derby. They think that in Alkmaar City, Alkmaar has no enemies. An amateur team at the level of the Eastern Dragon is not worthy of being Alkmaar. Opponents, they play football for entertainment, and it is a joke that Alkmaar has such a derby opponent.

Alkmaar's goal has always been to break into the First Division and restore the glory of winning the league and cup championships in the 70s. It doesn't pay attention to amateur teams like the Oriental Dragon in the same city, that is, occasionally See if they have any good seedlings there.

Recently, the Eastern Dragons have played very well in the amateur football circle, known as the general victors, which has not been taken seriously by Alkmaar, but now the Eastern Dragons have not only reached the third place in the Dutch Cup. In the first round, he also became Alkmaar's opponent in the knockout round, which made the Alkmaar team have to look at this low-level brother from the same city in a different way.

Of course, Alkmaar doesn’t pay much attention to an amateur team. They just took a look from ignorance to curiosity. Their main striker No. 11 Im said disdainfully when he learned that their Dutch Cup opponent was the Eastern Dragon: "Our promotion is inevitable, the score may reach double digits. I don't want to comment on our opponents. I don't know and don't want to know what kind of football they play. Amateur teams are playing randomly. Don't mention it to me. What kind of magical coaches, what kind of victorious generals, that is in the amateur football circle, when they come to professional football, they will show their original shape."

Alkmaar's captain and main defender Maher mentioned the Eastern Dragon in an interview. He thought Jiang Mu did a good job, but at the same time he said that the "derby war" is ridiculous. The Eastern Dragon is just a fourth-level amateur player. The team is not on the same level as Alkmaar, and they cannot pose any threat to Alkmaar at all.

Alkmaar's head coach, Van Dijk, is a tough and self-willed coach. He runs the army with an iron fist in Alkmaar, pays attention to tactical discipline, and the team is united. This is an important reason why Alkmaar can lead the Netherlands.Against his opponent, the Eastern Dragons, Van Dijk watched their two games. It was in the early days of Jiang Mu's coaching. They played defensive counterattacks. This made Van Dijk, a traditional Dutch football supporter, very disgusted. Haven't seen Alkmaar's game yet.Even if he wants to play against the Eastern Dragon now, Van Dijk still disdains to study such an amateur team. Even when the most influential Dutch magazine "World Football" interviewed him, Van Dijk did not mention the Eastern Dragon. Say something to Jiang Mu.

After training the day before the game, Van Dijk told the onlookers that he didn't care about the Dutch Cup, even if he was eliminated, it was nothing. His goal was to enter the Eredivisie.Hendry, a reporter from the Amsterdam tabloid "General News", immediately asked after hearing this sentence: "Coach Van Dijk, can I understand that you are looking for an excuse for being upset by an amateur team? "

Van Dijk was furious, "Which newspaper are you a reporter? What basis do you have for making such wild guesses? The amateur team was upset, you mean the Eastern Dragon? Are they qualified to be upset? Don't think they won a few games. If you win, you can compete with professional teams. Your idea is ridiculous. If we play against them seriously, double-digit games are not impossible. Please don’t ask such stupid questions in the future, otherwise don’t interview me in the future.”

After Van Dijk finished speaking, he walked away. The reporters and fans around him burst into laughter. Hendry stood there blushing in embarrassment. He didn't expect Van Dijk's reaction to be so violent. He shook his head and recorded this passage. Come down, and wrote a very gimmicky title: "Coach Van Dijk said that Alkmaar can score 10 goals in the Eastern Dragon".

The Eastern Dragons are the lowest-level amateur team among the top 32 of the Dutch Cup, and they are also the biggest dark horse. Alkmaar is the leader of the Dutch second division and is a favorite for the first division. The match between them is very attractive. At this time, the famous media who dismissed amateur teams like the Eastern Dragon also came to interview the players and coaches of the Eastern Dragon.

The day before the game, after the training of the Eastern Dragons, the Dutch "Telegraph" and "Football Daily" interviewed Ke Liang, the main killer of the Eastern Dragons, and Jiang Mu, the head coach, for the first time.

"What do you think about tomorrow's game?"

It was the first time for Ke Liang to face such a famous media as "The Telegraph".

"Alkmaar is a strong team. They are professional. We are not afraid of him. We have defeated many strong teams under the leadership of coach Jiang Mu."

"How sure do you think you are to advance?"

"Forty-six, maybe thirty-seven, they have more experience than us, but we have an amazing coach Jiang Mu."

"So what do you think is the difference between a professional team and an amateur team?"

"They have better technical and physical fitness, and good tactical discipline, but there are also precedents for amateur teams to beat professional teams." After Ke Liang said a few words, he finally returned to normal.

"You are both in the same city, have you followed Alkmaar's games? Who do you think are their most dangerous players?"

"I am a fan of Alkmaar, and I have always followed Alkmaar's games. I hope they can return to the first division and reproduce the glory of the 70s. Of course, the most threatening player in this Alkmaar team is Imam. , he has a strong ability to seize opportunities and can shoot with both feet. He has always been a role model for me to learn from, but we think that the soul of Alkmaar is the captain Maher. Open, it is the most troublesome player for our striker."

"How do you rate your coach Jiang Mu?"

"He is an amazing coach and I am sure he will become a world-class coach and win many titles."

When the "Telegraph" interviewed Ke Liang, "Daily Football" was also interviewing Jiang Mu.

Although it was the first time he was interviewed by a big media, the reborn Jiang Mu was obviously calmer. Facing the reporter's sharp questions, he answered in an orderly manner, showing an excellent coach's ability to deal with the media.

"Coach Jiang, your experience is a legend. Can you tell me why you stayed in the Netherlands as a coach?" the reporter of "Daily Football" asked.

"I don't want to be a pure fan, and I don't have the ability to be a professional player. I still like football. Being a coach is my last choice."

"Have you ever thought about entering professional football? Or are you preparing for entering professional football now?"

"No one wants to be a professional coach, even if the pressure of a professional coach is great, because only by becoming a professional coach can you get in touch with the top players and enjoy the joy of top-level football confrontation. Of course, if you think that I am now coaching It’s okay for amateur teams to prepare for professional football.”

"From a coach's point of view, what do you think of the Alkmaar team in the same city?"

"Alkmaar is a good team. The club's leading players and coaches have ambitions, goals, and money. It is not accidental that they can become the favorites of the first team. However, there are many factors that restrict their further development. The first One is that their bench thickness is poor, and the head coach is too conservative; the first is that their stadium is too small and there are few fans. The third is that their youth training is not good enough, and their sustainable development ability is poor. It's unrealistic."

"Do you think AZ Alkmaar can make it to the Eredivisie this season?"

"It's hard to say. Although they are currently ranked first, this is a long-lasting contest. Only teams with good endurance can have the last laugh. Mr. Van Dijk employs conservative players and dare not rotate. I am afraid there will be hidden dangers in the future."

"If you come to be the head coach of Alkmaar, can you guarantee the success of the armor?"

"Of course! I have the confidence to do it."

"Then what do you think of tomorrow's match against Alkmaar? Can David beat the giant Goliath?"

"It's a [-]-[-] odds. There's a lot of chance in football."

"The Eastern Dragon is just a fourth-level amateur team. Your players are simply not comparable to Alkmaar's players. Why do you have such strong confidence to beat Alkmaar? Are you so confident in your tactics?"

"This is my secret, I can't tell you now, but I can say that any miracle becomes a miracle after it is done."

"How are you going to deal with Van Dijk's Alkmaar?"

"Deal with him in a way he doesn't know he is not good at, but I can't reveal it now. If you plan to interview me after the game tomorrow, I will tell you clearly. Of course, I don't think you need to worry about it after the game. Interview me."

The interviews of Ke Liang and Jiang Mu by "Telegraph" and "Daily Football" did not cause much sensation in the Netherlands, but they caused a sensation in Alkmaar, every player, fan, coach and staff in Alkmaar They are all angry. Fans of a fourth-level amateur team look down on Alkmaar, the former Eredivisie champion Alkmaar. This is the biggest humiliation to Alkmaar.

Especially the head coach Van Dijk, Jiang Mu said that he pointed out his shortcomings and said that he could do better than himself, which made the self-willed Van Dijk furious. During the team meeting at night, he furiously demanded that the players come back tomorrow. Hit hard, score as many goals as you can, and give this unknown pawn a little color.
