Chapter 123 The lag header of the king of the small penalty area
The Chinese fans in the stands were shouting Jiang Mu's name. Under the leadership of the Chinese fans, Alkmaar fans also shouted, and some people wrote songs about Jiang Mu and sang loudly. I didn't know that Jiang Mu was the star of the team.
The phenomenon of fans shouting about the head coach at the opening is indeed rare now. Modern commercial football is more and more emphasizing and shaping the value of stars, and the head coaches are more and more behind the scenes. Many clubs use special marketing managers to be responsible for club management. The head coach has changed from "making a decision" to "providing advice". They are only responsible for leading the team to train and direct the game. Once the head coach and the big stars have conflicts, or the team's record is not good, the head coach will often become a victim and a scapegoat.
Jiang Mu is obviously an exception. He is young and unspeakable. He is good at five or six languages. He is clever and repeatedly works miracles. He is wise, and the nobody he dug up quickly becomes a star. Whether on or off the court, Jiang Mu's behavior makes him the focus of the team, which is difficult for the team's stars to hide. Blocking.
"It seems that I should ask you to sign my name."
When the head coach shook hands and saw the whole audience shouting "Jiang Mu", Robson was not used to it. It seems that it is a past history to worship the head coach so much. Idol coaches such as Cruyff, Clough and Beckenbauer are basically the world of football stars now.
"No, you should sign for me. In my lifetime, if I can achieve half of your achievements, I will be satisfied.
Jiang Mu smiled and filled Robson with ecstasy soup.
"Young man, you will definitely surpass me. But I don't want you to surpass me this season. Robson patted Jiang Mu on the shoulder with a smile.
"I won't wait for you. You need to catch up with me." Jiang Mubao smiled with a needle in his face.
"Okay, fight for my old bone to chase it desperately."
At this time, the game began. Robson walked back to his coaching bench and watched the performance of the players on the field nervously and excitedly. This feeling had not appeared for a long time.
The first to kick off was the visiting team Eindhoven.
Robson also had some research on Alkmaar's game, especially after watching the game between Alkmaar and Ajax. He found that Alkmaar's side defense ability was average and the middle defense was very strong, so he decided to open the gap from the side, cut into the goal on the side, or find Fannie in the cross. .
Although Alkmaar's midfield defense is strong, it's just their back fork. In the penalty area, Alkmaar's two central defenders are average and may not be able to defend Fannie.
Robson appreciates Fannie's ability in the penalty area. At this time, Van Nisne 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 exceeded that of ordinary people. Robson believes that as long as the ball can be passed on the side, Van Nisanny, who stayed in the penalty area, will have a chance to score the ball.
After the game began, Eindhoven launched an attack from the side. Van Nillery and Nylis inserted into the penalty area, ready to take the sideline and grab a shot.
Jiang Mu is well aware of Fannie's power. In the penalty area, not to mention unknown people like Martens and Morris, even famous defensive men such as Tulam, Stam and De Boer can't get the upper hand.
It is too difficult to stop Van Nisma from shooting 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 Fannie to stay away from the penalty area.
Jiang Mu wanted to defeat Eindhoven in this game, so he also chose more active tactics in defense, formation premise, offside, forcing Fannie to stay away from the penalty area and limit his performance to a minimum.
Eindhoven's side attack has just passed through the restricted area. The three lines on Alkmaar's side mention about 20 meters in the front of the restricted area, hanging Fannie the front of the forbidden area. It's not retreating or entering.
After creating an offside, Alkmaar began to encircle and suppress the sideline. The two defensive midfielders Van Bomel and Gattuso strongly supported the sideline and must not let the opponent form a breakthrough on the sideline.
Alkmaar's defensive tactics are naturally a little adventurous. Once the opponent breaks through the side, the middle road is likely to form a single-knife ball opportunity. Even if Alkmaar's defender catches back quickly, the whole defense line may not be able to stand in place. At this time, the enemy's random organization will cause the whole defense line. The chaos.
After tasting the benefits of several defensive counterattacks, Alkmaar's coaching staff and players hope to continue to adopt steady defensive tactics, because although they are at home, they are 11 points ahead of Eindhoven. Eindhoven's willingness to attack is definitely stronger than Alkmaar.
However, Jiang Mu is more aware of the characteristics of this Eindhoven player. The three strikers Bruckinck and Van Nisangny have air control in the penalty area. None of Nilis can grasp the opportunity. The three of them cooperate in the penalty area. Who can defend Alkmaar? If all his energy is spent on them, then What about the players in the midfield? Therefore, Jiang Mu explained the problem to others and insisted on replacing the defensive counterattack with this oppressive play.
Eindhoven's side attack is mainly concentrated on the right side. Here, he is not only experienced winger Nillis, but also the strong assistable full-back Oyer. And the left side of Alkmaar is Suleiman, who is strong and weak.
Before the game, the old coach Robson took Alkmaar's left side as the key target, and after repeated tactical drills, including attracting Alkmaar's attention, he quickly penetrated in the middle, with a long-range shot from Koku.
Jiang Mu naturally knows where his team's weakness is. He also has arrangements for Suleiman's left side. Because the defense line wants to be offside, Suleiman must assist forward. At this time, the defense of the back and the right forward has become the key to the success of the defense.
Alkmaar took an oppressive approach, and Eindhoven stormed the left side of Alkmaar. The game became very fierce at the beginning. In the first five minutes, the forces of both sides seriously tilted to the left side. Alkmaar's right side was very idle, but occasionally a long pass came from a big foot, because the ball was flying in the air. Far away, the opponent's defense is ready, and the ball is often destroyed out of the sideline.
Although there are teammates to defend, the main force of the defense is still Suleiman. Facing the opponent's striker Nilis alone, Suleiman's defense is very awkward.
Belgian international Nilis is very smart and has good skills. His body is not as perverted as Drogba and Van Nistelro, but he is strong enough. Less than three minutes after the opening, Suleiman was cheated by Nilis's fake action. He pulled Nilis's jersey and was warned by the referee.
In the fifth minute, Nilis and the Swiss international Vogel in the middle cooperated to form a breakthrough again, but this time Van Bomer assisted in time and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
Five minutes later, the team's deputy Van Bommel had to stay on the left side, because he found that under the opponent's full attack, if he returned to the middle, the left side would become the opponent's corridor.
At the beginning, Alkmaar pressed forward greatly and actively competed. He pressed the whole of Eindhoven near the middle circle. It seemed to have the upper hand. However, Robson's breakthrough on the left side made Alkmaar extremely uncomfortable. It was like playing Go. Obviously, he surrounded the opponent and seemed that he could kill the dragon immediately. But the opponent still has a breath, and he may break out at any time, making his siege meaningless.
Jiang Mu frowned and regretted not taking Van Brontehorst. With the Dutch international here, it should be safer on the left.
In fact, Alkmaar's weakness is not only in the left-back, but also in the centre-back Martens and Morris are also the group of people who play the Netherlands. The number of mistakes in the middle is less because of his midfield tactics, so that the opponent does not have the opportunity to face the defender directly. If he directly faces the opponent's striker like other teams, the central defender Combination is also a weakness. I can barely play the Dutch League. 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 attack instead of defense to compete with the opponent. Whose attack is sharper and whose defense is worse.
In the tenth minute of the game, Jiang Mu went to the sidelines and ordered the players to attack. Jiang Mu also gestured to the fans in the stands to let them strengthen the players.
The fans in the stands were also a little anxious to see that their team did not take any real advantage in the first ten minutes. They all applauded and sang Alkmaar's team song desperately to inspire their players to score quickly.
Under the thunderous applause, Alkmaar, who received a strong attack order, launched the most fierce attack since the start of the game. The guard line continued to assist the midfield to control the ball and put pressure on Eindhoven.
Alkmaar has one more midfielder than Eindhoven, with a slight upper hand in ball control. Artidore and Tomasson are constantly interspersed, creating opportunities for Drogba. Suleiman finally showed his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, gave full play to his expertise in sideside assists, constantly attacking Oyer's right defense, and sent a pass from time to time with the help of Kuite.
Alkmaar's attack looks vigorous, but Eindhoven played very tenaciously under the leadership of veteran Koku. Hofland and Ado are tall and strong, and their explosive power is excellent. They are firmly stuck in the young Warcraft Drogba and relieves most of Alkmaar's pass and hanging. Koku intercepts and plugs it in. Alkmaar's attack is only formal, and there is no real threat.
In the 15th minute of the game, Brukingk, who was 1.9 meters tall, turned the ball to the right side. When the winger Nilis took the ball, he was smart and picked over Suleiman who roared. Suleiman turned around again, leaving only Nilis's back in his eyes.
The Belgian shook off Suleiman, plugged in at high speed, and went straight into Alkmaar's half from the left side.
Van Bomel, who had been staring at Nellis, didn't expect Suleiman to be so relaxed. His defense was a step late, and he couldn't break the ball out of the bottom line, so he could only follow Nilis closely. Van Bommel's defense is excellent, his speed is very average, and Nellis is not very fast, but Van Bomel is more than a dozen centimeters short. He can't catch up, can't catch up, and fouls can't reach.
Seeing that Eindhoven had made a breakthrough on the sidelines, Alkmaar's fans were so nervous that they forgot to sing, forgot to applaud, and stared at the court.
Seeing that a breakthrough had formed on the side road, Windhoven's strikers Van Nis and Bruck were like hungry dogs seeing meat bones, and immediately ran forward to pick up Nilis on the side.
Forward Van Nisani is not fast, but defenders Martens and Morris are not much faster. The three men almost reached the penalty area at the same time, followed by the slightly slower Eindhoven strikers Bruck and Alkmaar.
Alkmaar's three defenses and two defenses in the middle, Alkmaar's fans relaxed a little and felt less dangerous.
But Jiang Mu still complains. He knows the power of Van Nisma in the penalty area, and it is difficult for two quasi-Herres like Martens and Morris to defend.
In the bottom pass at the high speed of Nilis, Van Bomel tried his best to intercept but did not stop it.
Van Nisma jumped desperately under the pressure of Martens and Morris. When the ball reached the top of Fannie's head, Van Nis van Nis left slightly forward due to the interference of the defender. In the face of this situation, the average striker's ball is often higher than the crossbar, and Alkmaar's fans are relieved that the crisis is over.
But at this time, Fannie took advantage of the good lag advantage to let the two defenders Martens and Morris who jumped with him land first, and also won himself the time to control the landing point of the high-altitude ball. He leaned his forehead a little and sent the ball into Alkmaar's net.
1:0.
Eindhoven took the lead.
