Chapter 36 My football philosophy is victory
Nielsen gave Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming three days off to arrange their work, accommodation and other things. After becoming a professional coach, the original job is unnecessary and there is no time to do it again. Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming resigned and moved to the quiet and beautiful town of Alkmaar. Here, the Alkmaar Club has already rented a house for them.
On the fourth day, Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming met with Lin Na Zhou and reported to the Alkmaar Club together.
In Nelson's office, Jiang Mu met Alkmaar head coach Van Dijk. Sheringa was also there, and there was a strange Dutch man. When Jiang Mu and the three people came in, Shlingjia and Van Dijk seemed to be arguing about something. When they saw Jiang Mu coming in, both of them shut up at the same time.
Nielsen stood up and said, "Jiang, Zhao, Bruce (Liner Zhou's Dutch name), you are coming, sit down for a while, and wait for Coach Remer to take you to meet the players."
Van Dijk looked at Jiang Mu coldly and did not say hello to anyone. He turned around and left the manager's office.
"Manager Nelson, it's almost time for training. It's time for us to meet the players."
Jiang Mu doesn't want to be involved in the club's power struggle. He is just a newcomer and a coach of a youth team. Even if he has a good relationship with Sherlinga, it is very dangerous to be involved in the whirlpool of the club's power struggle. It is the best way to protect his body.
"Oh, Coach Raymer, you can take Coach Jiang to meet the players. Jiang, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly. Of course, you can also find Manager Sherringia." Nelson looked at his watch and said to Raymer and Jiang Mu.
"I know. Goodbye, Manager Nelson, Director Sheringa."
Jiang Mu and Lei Mo shook hands, and the four of them walked out of the manager's office and walked to the court.
Alkmaar's youth training base is next to the Dehout Stadium. It is the smallest and relatively old in the Eerste Divisie club, but it is like the Dream Theater of Manchester United compared with the Oriental Dragons' stadium.
Six pieces of venues of different sizes are connected together. The two in the east belong to the first team, and the four in the west belong to the youth teams of all levels. At the same time, it is also the home of the youth team to play the reserve league.
The news that Jiang Mu will coach the Alkmaar youth team in the future has long spread. When Jiang Mu and the four of them walked into the court, all the first-team players who were training turned their heads to Jiang Mu. Of course, this look was not kind. Jiang Mu showed their face and inside at that time. If it hadn't been for the later Cambur and Ajax cushion, Alkmaar would have become the laughing stock of the whole football world.
Jiang Mu ignored the hostile eyes of Alkmaar players and waved to them brightly.
As Jiang Mu's personally selected assistants, Zhao Guangming and Lin Nazhou naturally want to follow Jiang Mu to wave the flag and shout. They also wave with Jiang Mu, as if the head of state is reviewing the honor guard.
In the eyes of Alkmaar's players, this is a demonstration and a provocation. They are all bloody young people. How can they suppress their anger? They booed at Jiang Mu, and some people scolded rudely.
Van Dijk has been watching silently and didn't say anything. When Jiang Mu passed the court of the first team, he coldly scolded the players and said, "What are you shouting about? Isn't it carelessly losing a game? Losing a game can't lose a person for a lifetime, and winning a game is not a lifelong honor? Train me well. Entering the Dutch League is the hero.
"It's so sour! What a big resentment, but losing a game is a loss for a lifetime. Zhao Guangming covered his nose to make it smelly.
Anyone can tell that Van Dijk was sarcastic about Jiang Mu. In order to maintain his demeanor, Jiang Mu disdained to counterattack his defeated generals, and Zhao Guangming opened his mouth and fought back.
"Don't say any more. The first day of work will leave a good impression on the team members."
Jiang Mu stopped Zhao Guangming, who wanted to continue to fight back, and pulled him to the venue of the youth team.
"Welcome, Coach Jiang."
"How are you, Coach Jiang?"
......
Papa! With warm applause, the players of the youth team shouted enthusiastically at Coach Jiang, just like welcoming international stars, which made Jiang Mu wonder how he was so popular in Alkmaar.
Although the youth team and the first team are players of the same club, the relationship between them is more competitive. After Van Dijk took office, in order to ensure that the rotation system is rarely implemented, he would rather buy players than promote the youth team's own people, which made the players and coaches of the youth team very dissatisfied. The last coach of the second team resigned angrily because of this.
Jiang Mu led the amateur team to defeat Alkmaar, which was built with a lot of money by Van Dijk, gave a bad breath to the players of the youth team, and also eliminated a Dutch team like Cambur. Almost all the players of the youth team regarded him as an idol. Three days ago, the club manager Nelson announced that Jiang Mu had joined the youth team, and these players had been waiting for Jiang Mu's arrival.
Raymer looked at these young players like stars and said humorously, "It seems that I don't need to introduce Coach Jiang to you. Let me introduce these two coaches. This is Coach Zhao Guangming and Zhao. You may not know this one yet, but you will know when I say his name, Brucelin, Ajax's nine No..."
Raymer's words were interrupted before he finished speaking. The players of the youth team applauded enthusiastically again. Linna Zhou's name is still very influential in the Netherlands, and most people in the football circle know it.
"...Now let's ask Coach Jiang to say a few words to us."
Raymer applauded first, and then the players of the youth team applauded.
Jiang Mu actually didn't want to say anything, and he didn't make much preparation in advance, but when he just came to the team, it was impossible to say anything. He stood in front of the team and waved to the players, signaling them to be quiet. The players of the youth team immediately stopped applauding and discussion and listened carefully to Jiang Mu's speech. .
"We Chinese have an old saying, 'Listen to what you say and watch what you do', so I don't think it's important what I say now. What's important is what I do and what I do in the future. My coaching philosophy is actually very simple. I played against Alkmaar when I was coaching the Oriental Dragon. Some of you must have seen and heard of it..."
Someone in the youth team immediately laughed, and then many people laughed, because Jiang Mu's obscene play of defeating Alkmaar has long spread all over Alkmaar, and many people listen to it as a joke, especially the scene where the center was stripped of his shorts. It's popular.
"... Maybe you think it's funny, but if you ask the players in the first team, they definitely don't think it's funny, because they are the people who are laughed at. Football is a war. You must be serious and don't deal with the game with a game mentality, otherwise you will definitely be punished.
My football philosophy is victory. As long as you get on the court, you must fight for victory by any means. As long as you get on the training ground, you must do your best to fight for the game.
In addition, I remind you not to believe the nonsense of art football. Art is done on the basis of a full meal, and no one does art when you are hungry. So our football is a victory football, and I only allow art on the basis of victory.
Okay, my speech is over!"
There was no applause, only silence, because Jiang Mu's words had a great impact on the youth team players.
The Dutch football idea has always been aesthetic and artistic. No matter how many championships you win, as long as you don't play well, you will definitely be scolded. It is precisely because of the influence of this football idea that the technical and tactical level of the Dutch national team has always been in the world's first-class ranks. The Netherlands, which has played countless superstars, has only won Europe once. The champion of the Continental Cup.
Now Jiang Mu puts the results directly in front of the process, believing that art is not important, but victory and champion. How can these young people accept it?
Jiang Mu did not force the players to accept his thoughts immediately. He understood that it would take time. After saying that, Jiang Mu asked the players to start training.
In terms of the content of the training, Jiang Mu has not changed much. Although he is from 30 years later, he can't infinitely raise the training standards. After all, there is still a process of adaptation, and the concept and technology of Dutch football have been in the world's advanced ranks. As long as it is slightly changed on the original foundation, It can not only be innovative, but also make the players adapt quickly.
Jiang Mu only changed two points. One is to control the ball, and the other is to grab the high position. This is Barcelona's unique skill to dominate the world ten years later. Barcelona inherits Cruyf of the Netherlands, which is in line with Dutch football. Although the players of the Alkmaar youth team are strange, they are not unacceptable, and they are young, physical and good. There is endless energy in the body, and the high-level rush is simply tailored for them.
It's just that the young player is not good enough in controlling the ball. The player is too young and impatient. After getting the ball, he can't wait to hit the ball into the opponent's goal immediately, instead of patiently turning his foot, waiting for the opponent to be flawed, and then sealing his throat with a sword.
However, Jiang Mu is not in a hurry. The tactical concept is not formed or changed in a day. The youth team does not value results. Playing the reserve league is just to improve the level. It is neither relegated nor upgraded. He has a lot of time and games to transform these players, so that they can understand that victory requires patience in losing. And controlling the ball is the best way to minimize the opponent's chances.
Van Dijk has been watching Jiang Mu's training from a distance. He hates Jiang Mu and is also full of curiosity about Jiang Mu. He really wants to know how Jiang Mu can lead a garbage team like Oriental Dragon to defeat well-trained professional teams like Alkmaar and Brendan. He is very Know that you can't do all this.
But he observed that there was nothing surprising about Jiang Mu's training, and it was not much different from the basic football concept of the Netherlands. When coaching the Oriental Dragons, Jiang Mu lined up three defensive players at the front of the penalty area to defend and counterattack, and now he is authentic offensive football, a little obscene defensive. It doesn't mean anything.
"His training method is very different from his playing style in the game?"
Van Dijk's assistant coach, Victor, was also paying attention to Jiang Mu's training. Seeing that Jiang Mu did not put too much effort into defense, he couldn't help but suspiciously say to Van Dijk.
Van Dijk sneered and said, "Who knows what tricks he plays. Just pull his team over and walk around. Vidock, go and tell him that we are going to play a warm-up match with the second team and let them prepare for it."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Vidoch promised to walk to the training ground of the second team.
