magic coach

The next day was Sunday, just after Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming had breakfast, Sherinja called and asked him and Zhao Guangming to come to the Alkmaar club. The manager Nelson and his father Dirk wanted to talk to them.

Jiang Mu hung up the phone, and Zhao Guangming asked, "Wu Mu, who are you calling? I'm so busy."

Jiang Mu didn't tell him about letting Zhao Guangming go to Alkmaar with him as an assistant coach before, because he wasn't too sure. Now he felt that he needed to discuss it with Zhao Guangming, and said, "Guangming, There is something I want to talk to you about. Just now Scheringa called and asked me to talk to his father, Dirk, the boss of Alkmaar, and let you go there together. Scheringa would like to invite you To be the assistant coach of Alkmaar's youth team. Would you like to go?"

"To be an assistant coach in Alkmaar?" Zhao Guangming was a little confused, "Wood, is it true?"

Jiang Mu said: "Of course it's true. Be my assistant. And Senior Lin Nazhou."

"Then how do I go back to China?" Zhao Guangming was obviously confused.

"If you agree, you won't be able to leave for the time being, but you can go back after the season is over. I don't know if you'd like to help me." Jiang Mu said.

Zhao Guangming suddenly realized after going through the initial confusion, and said with great joy: "Nonsense, f*ck nonsense, why would I not want to, being a coach abroad is not a hundred times better than at home. I originally wanted to return to China because there was no stable and decent job abroad. "

Then Zhao Guangming corrected and said: "Actually, Mu Mu, I still can't bear you. You said that I went back to China and you stayed abroad alone. I couldn't bear it. So, invite me to dinner."

"I found you a job, but you still want me to treat you to dinner. What country's rules are you doing?" Jiang Mu said angrily.

"My Zhao country's rules." Zhao Guangming said triumphantly after putting on his suit and shining his leather shoes.

"Go away, hurry up, don't let the boss wait for us wage earners."

Jiang Mu urged Zhao Guangming to look at himself in the mirror after "dressing up".

"Go, go quickly, how can we let people wait for us."

Zhao Guangming felt that his clothes were flawless, so he left home with Jiang Mu and rushed to Alkmaar.

The Alkmaar Club is less than one kilometer south of the city of Alkmaar. They are the only professional club in this small city with a population of 9. Although they were once brilliant in the 80s, they once won the league and cup doubles. They have also reached the final of the UEFA Cup, but they are still a very small club. The club covers a small area, the stadium is small, and can only accommodate [-] fans. If they are playing against teams like Real Madrid and Manchester United, they The stadium can't even accommodate the fans of the visiting team.

When Zhao Guangming and Jiang Mu came to the Alkmaar Club, Scheringa was already waiting in front of the door.

"Jiang, Zhao, my father and Uncle Nelson have agreed in principle, but he still wants to discuss with you personally before making a decision. After all, this is not just a youth team coach's problem. I hope you can understand their prudence." He Linjia seemed to have waited for a long time, and said straight to the point.

Before Jiang Mu could speak, Zhao Guangming said, "Understand, understand, who can be careless about such a thing."

Jiang Mu said: "The matter of Lin Nazhou..."

Schelingja said: "Both my father and Uncle Nelson know Lin Nazhou, and they are very reassuring about him. Just let him sign the contract when he comes to work."

Jiang Mu said: "That's good, let's go, don't keep your father and Manager Nelson waiting for a long time."

"Ok."

Scheringa led the way, and the three arrived at Dirk's chairman's office.The manager, Nelson, is there, and he and Dilk are talking about something.

Dirk is tall and burly, because he is a policeman, he has a military demeanor, and he is not angry.And Nelson belongs to the short and fat type that is rare in Europe. He is round and smooth, like a Maitreya Buddha, but don't be fooled by his appearance, his eyes are shrewd and wise.

"Welcome Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhao to Alkmaar."

"I have wanted to see Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhao for a long time."

Seeing Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming come in, Nelson and Dirk both stood up and reached out to shake hands with them.After a simple exchange of greetings, the secretary brought coffee, and the five sat down among the guests and hosts.

"During this time, Mr. Jiang's name has been very famous in the Netherlands. I have always wanted to visit Mr. Jiang, but unfortunately I didn't have the time. Today is my wish." Dirk said with emotion.

"Don't dare, Chairman Dilk, you've flattered me. Except for an immigrant cup champion that can't be put on the table, I didn't get any results." Jiang Mu said very sincerely, he was not humble, he was originally a A victory-loser, failure to win a championship is a failure for Jiang Mu.

"No, your results are more sensational than winning the championship. I still don't understand. How could you lead an amateur team to beat us, Brendan, and draw with Ajax in 10 minutes?"

Dirk became agitated. This question had been on his mind for a long time. If no one explained it clearly to him, he would definitely get sick.

Nelson also stopped talking with Zhao Guangming and turned his attention to Jiang Mu. To him, this was also a mystery. If he hadn't worried about affecting Van Dijk, he would have gone to meet Jiang Mu in person.

Jiang Mu is very familiar with this topic, and almost every reporter who interviewed him has raised this question, but Jiang Mu still pondered for a while before saying: "This seems to be a miracle, but actually it seems to me that it is a miracle. Usually, people think that it is a miracle to lead an amateur team to beat a professional team, mainly because they think that the outcome of a football game depends on the 90-minute game, or that the outcome of the game only depends on 22 players and one referee on the field , which is not actually the case.

Football is war, which shows that there are many factors that determine the outcome of a football game, such as the club's finances, the current situation, the player's personal ability, technical and tactical use, psychology, spiritual quality, morale, luck, venue, fans, referees, etc. The understanding of the opponent, etc. will affect the result of the game. We have made extremely detailed preparations before the game, and even studied the wind direction and sunlight exposure. It can be said that except for the strength of the players, we have all other factors that affect the outcome. Stronger than the opponent, so winning is not a miracle, it is the result of our hard work. "

Jiang Mu's words were not flattering, well-founded, and well-organized. After he finished speaking, Nelson and Dilk applauded lightly, and Dilk sighed: "Indeed, it's because we didn't think too much about it." Well, from Coach Jiang’s words, it’s really not luck that we lost, it’s because we beat ourselves.”

Nelson said: "If the coach is replaced, I'm afraid the Eastern Dragons will have no hope at all."

Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, because I'm the coach of a professional team, and I'm afraid I won't seriously study a fourth-level amateur team."

Dirk was confused, and said: "According to what you say, any coach can lead an amateur team to beat a professional team?"

Jiang Mu smiled and said proudly: "Of course not, there is a critical point. Among the factors that determine the outcome, the most important thing is the player's personal ability. This is also the biggest difference between professional players and amateur players. Only The other secondary factors add up to more than the main factor that determines the outcome of the game, and the amateur team beats the professional team. Coach Van Dijk must have the most feeling, we have achieved perfection in every other factor."

Nelson said: "Coach Jiang's words gave me a deeper understanding of football games. You simply treat a game like a war."

Jiang Mu said: "Yes, I think football is war, and the first consideration is victory or defeat."

Nelson said: "From your tactical arrangements, your football thinking seems to belong to the school of pragmatism."

Jiang Mu said: "Yes, in terms of tactical arrangements, I uphold the views of Sun Tzu, a famous military strategist in our country: soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who can win due to changes in the enemy are called gods."

"Wonderful!"

Dirk and Nelson applauded almost at the same time. They used to be a little worried because Jiang Mu was too young, but now they have more than half of their confidence in Jiang Mu. This is definitely a very talented coach. She doesn't look immature at all, she is calm and sophisticated, she is exhaustive, even a little scheming.

Dirk said: "Coach Jiang, I now fully believe that you have the ability to coach Alkmaar well, but to be honest, you are too young, I am afraid that you will encounter some troubles at the beginning, people are not purely rational animals. "

Jiang Mu said: "Thank you for reminding the chairman. I have already prepared in advance. I asked Mr. Lin Nazhou to be my assistant. I just want to use his prestige to deter those simple-minded players. They only believe in authority, but not in ability."

Nelson said with a chuckle: "Sherinja really found a treasure for us. Coach Jiang is really exhaustive. Even my old man is convinced. I wonder what role this Mr. Zhao will play in Coach Jiang's team?"

Jiang Mu said with a smile: "Zhao Guangming is my former colleague. He is good at discovering talented players and physical training, and can help senior Lin Nazhou coordinate the team relationship."

Zhao Guangming glanced at Jiang Mu and convinced him. He is good at discovering talents and knows what kind of physical training. Compared with European coaches, he is a scumbag, but Jiang Mu said it righteously, as if he was a rare talent. What a shameless spirit. , he almost knelt down.

Nelson believed Jiang Mu's words very much now, and stopped asking Zhao Guangming any more questions. He directly took out the prepared contract and said, "Coach Jiang, Coach Zhao, here is a draft contract. You two have a look at it to see if there is anything wrong with it." If you are satisfied, please bring it up and we can discuss it."

Jiang Mu scanned the contract and asked Chang'e No. [-] to analyze it. Before Zhao Guangming read a page, Chang'e No. [-] analyzed all the details and suspicious points of the contract, and presented them one by one in Jiang Mu's account. in mind.

The signing period of this contract is three years. Because it is a contract for coaching the youth team, the annual salary is not linked to the performance, and the annual salary of 98 Dutch guilders is directly given.Although many years later, the annual salary of a professional coach is astronomical, but in [-], a coach of the Holland second youth team was considered a high salary of [-] Dutch guilders.

"I agree, there is nothing to amend. The club's lawyer is very good." Jiang Mu said.

Nelson couldn't help giving a thumbs up again, and said, "Sherinja said that Coach Jiang has a photographic memory, which is true. If that's the case, then you sign it."

After Jiang Mu signed the contract, Nelson signed an agreement with him to coach the first team next season. Only then did Zhao Guangming read the contract. The annual salary difference was more than twice, but it would cost 3+ when converted into RMB. Zhao Guangming naturally agreed a hundred times and signed the contract immediately.

After the contract was signed, Dirk and Nielsen invited Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming to dinner at the hotel, which was a welcome treat. At the wine table, the two sides talked and laughed happily. Dirk liked Jiang Mu's talent more and more. Inviting Jiang Mu to visit his house when he has time, so that even Nelson saw that it was a bit tricky, and looked at Jiang Mu even more differently.
