Chapter 156 The complicated
Jiang Mu arrived at the Dehoute Stadium 40 minutes after the beginning of the training. The stadium is now very old. Although the workers of the nursing court are very responsible, there are still many problems. He must be prepared in advance to avoid delaying the training time.
Jiang Mu first squatted down to check the length of the turf to see if they need to be watered; then chatted with the workers guarding the equipment to see if the portable goals, red cones, balls and other things are ready. Ask them to put all the equipment in the designated position on the court; finally meet the medical department to confirm the physical condition of the players. Although the intelligent brain " Chang'e No. 1" has thoroughly monitored the players, there may also be accidental injuries, so that players can get more targeted training arrangements.
After all this, if there is still time, Jiang Mu will sit in the chair arranged for the coach and like to browse the newspaper of the day to see what news happens and wait for the players to sign in.
Today is the first time that Lucio and Ismail have trained with the whole team, and it is also the first time that the team is full. When the players arrive one after another, some fans gathered outside the barbed wire. Of course, they are talking about two new players, Lucio and Ismail. Everyone wants to know if the two defenders who have spent more than $3 million on the team can help the goalkeeper guard the team's door.
Lucio and Cesar came to the stadium together. Cesar is one year younger than Lucio, but in Alkmaar, he is the eldest brother, and now the two live together.
Because of language problems, Lucio has been with Cesar since he came to the stadium. He did not communicate with other players except for nodding to those who greet him kindly.
Ismail, the age of the promo, is about the same as Lucio. He is only with Drogba. Both players from Ligue 1 quickly established a friendship in Alkmaar. After Ismail decided to come to the Netherlands, Drogba helped him find a house close to him.
Of course, the most active players in the team are local Dutch players. They laugh and play, talk about yesterday's life and news in the transfer market, and play with fans from time to time.
Seeing a small group of players standing in everything, Jiang Mu frowned slightly. He did not want the team to have a variety of different gangs, which was not conducive to unity and not conducive to his control of the locker room. He was determined to take time to beat these little guys and not to let their gang consciousness take shape.
When the players and coaches arrived, Jiang Mu blew the whistle of the gathering. The players immediately gave up preparing for activities and chatting, and quickly came to the coaches.
"Lucio, Ismail, come out." Jiang Mu pointed to the two new aids hidden in the crowd. The new couple were always nervous and restrained at first. They hoped to hide in the crowd to seek identity, but Jiang Mu wanted them to eliminate this tension and restraint.
Lucio and Ismail came out and stood in front of the team.
Jiang Mu pointed to Lucio and Ismail and said to the players, "Let me introduce to you. Many people may know their situation, but I still want to introduce to you, Lucio, Brazilian, international team from Brazil, Ismail, French, from Crystal Palace, they are our future central defender. I believe that their strength can become your trusted partners. They are newcomers. You must take the initiative to communicate and contact with them to help them familiarize themselves with the team's environment. Now, everyone comes up to shake hands and hug them. Well, practice the feeling of scoring goals in advance.
Jiang Mu's last ginger humor made the players couldn't help smiling.
Smile is the lubricant for human-to-human contact. Except for the treacherous and evil people, few people are malicious when they laugh. When smiling teammates shake hands and hug each other, the distance between them seems to disappear at once.
After the players met, Jiang Mu arranged the morning training: "In the morning, it is mainly restorative training. Finally, we will arrange one or two 20-minute matches according to everyone's physical condition. I hope everyone can show a little energy. As the saying goes, sweat more and bleed less during wartime, but in me, If you don't train hard, you won't have a chance to bleed at all. Well, let's get started.
After the training began, Jiang Mu told Chang'e No. 1 to focus on observing Lucio and Ismail, and report their physical condition and the cooperation with his new teammates to him at any time so that he could make corrections at any time. Now it is only four days away from the first game after the winter break, and he must speed up Lucio, Ismail and the whole team, mainly the integration of the defense line, let them adapt to their respective playing style and characteristics.
After an hour of training, before the group confrontation, Lucio's citing Ismail has left a deep impression on his teammates and coaching staff. The physical fitness of the two is very good. Ismail is 1.96 meters tall, the header is first-class, and his body is strong. And Lucio is even more perverted. He is not as tall as Ismail, but he is extremely amazing in terms of bounce, explosive power and speed. Even the striker is difficult to compare with him in terms of physical quality, and from the basic skills of "pass control with stop", Lucio has the super technology of Brazilian players, in the whole The team is definitely Superman.
Before and after the group confrontation, although Lucio and Ismail were unfamiliar with their teammates, their substitute side was also scored four goals by the opponent, but in the single striker, their performance was very eye-catching, basically maintaining a winning rate of more than 80%, especially Lucio, 1.8 meters. His figure and chasing ability are super strong, and the striker is not as fast as his, which makes the fans open their eyes and doubt whether the club bought the striker or the defender. The coaches were worried that the height of the guard line was high and the speed was not good. Now they are oppressing football and playing against their opponents. It will be dangerous to have poor recovery ability. Now Lucio has dispelled the concerns of the coaching staff.
"Maybe Lucio can transform into a striker." Lin Na Zhou said to Jiang Mu after the training.
"No, he won't have much to do if he becomes a striker, but on the guard line, Lucio will surprise his opponents in the attack. He is our knife guard." Jiang Mu smiled.
"Well, guard with a knife, this word is well described. Maybe Lucio can play a role in breaking the deadlock." Lin Nazhou agreed with Jiang Mu's opinion.
Because England and Brazil do not have a winter break, Lucio and Ismail have been playing with the team. In the morning training, Jiang Mu is very satisfied with their state. It can be said that the two of them are in the best condition in the team and can play at any time. Therefore, in the afternoon, Jiang Mu also reduced their physical training, opened a small stove for them, personally took them to adapt to their own tactics, understand their own ideas, emphasized active defense and one-football, let them actively participate in the attack, learn to observe the overall situation, initiate and organize attacks, instead of just knowing defense.
After the afternoon training, Jiang Mu gave a brief summary and outlook for the future of the disciples and two newcomers who returned from vacation:
"... From now on, we have begun to devote ourselves to the battle. The game will start soon. I hope you will forget the previous 19 consecutive wins, the three consecutive victories of the Dutch Cup, and a new beginning after the winter break.
We have only two possibilities now: move on, or stagnate. There are two kinds of results, winning the championship or not winning the championship. It's all up to us. I will do what I can do. The first is to ensure the quality of my work. Whether as an individual or a team, you will make progress. The second is trust and honesty. The door of my office will always be open to any Alkmaar player. I will be 100% trust and frank with you. No matter what decisions the coach and the club make for the players, you will be the first to know, and I am the one who informs you.
What you have to do is to be disciplined, ambitious and combative, and win every game we can win. By the end of the season, I hope we can celebrate the championship with the fans in City Hall Square. Next year, my goal is the Dutch champion and the European champion.
Jiang Mu's words attracted bursts of applause from players and coaches, because Jiang Mu did not say that he did so. Like the original members of Van Dijk's coaching staff and trusted disciples, they can still serve as the main force under Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu also fully trusts them, and the results he has achieved now also prove that Jiang Mu said. The goal is that the Champions League champion is not completely bragging, at least to a certain degree of credibility.
It is only four days away from the game. Of course, it is impossible for Lucio and Ismail to integrate into the team and form a tacit understanding with teammates. The cooperation between the defenders is higher than the front court, and it requires long-term game and training to achieve. Therefore, the combination of defenders is generally not easily replaced and broken, even in the first half of Jiang Mu There was a large-scale rotation of the lineup, and the defender line did not move, which was also an important reason for the injuries of Martens and Morris.
Although there is not much to be done before the game with Ajax, many ideas between high-level players are connected, and it does not mean that Ismail and Lucio will definitely not be able to appear in the game against Ajax.
As the game approached, Lucio and Ismail began to appear frequently on newspapers, radio and TV screens. Many commentators, reporters, retired players and those who are "in-fake" with the court have speculated about this game with Ajax. In the key position of central defender, how will Jiang Mu arrange it? Will the two new players appear at the same time or only one? Is it a starter or a substitute? Which one will go first? If they play, can they withstand the impact of the Dutch giant Ajax?
Although Ajax has experienced great changes during the winter break, the DePaul brothers left, and Litmaning is also sure to leave next season, the Finnish professionalism and feelings for Ajax will make him try his best. Besides, there are also Avillaze, Babangida, Dani and other masters on the front line, regardless of Alc. Which central defender combination Marr uses is a great test for them in the game.
Outside speculation is that Jiang Mu is not accurate. He is ambiguous about the appearance of Lucio and Ismail. It is only possible to decide according to the training, and during the training, Hoves and Enko often appear in the main lineup, making the media more difficult to figure out.
Not only the media, but even the famous Danish coach Olson doesn't know what cards Jiang Mu will play, because this guy has always been unreliable. He can only focus on me and doesn't care what Jiang Mu does.
