Chapter 5 Let the game speak
(Ask for red tickets and collections)
There is little time left in the morning. Jiang Mu did not lead the team to train, mainly because the players were playing games such as walking monkeys and grabbing circles and fighting one-on-one.
Lunch was eaten in the cafe. Li Wei ordered four dishes from a nearby Chinese restaurant and took a bottle of Maotai. Ke Mingke Liang, the absolute main force of the team, stayed with him.
At lunch, Jiang Mu understood what was going on with the top eight of the Oriental Dragon in the immigrant cup. It turned out that the immigrant cup had just begun, with a total of only ten teams, and the eighth was actually the penultimate.
Later, the Oriental Dragon Club never left the last three in the Immigration Cup, because the amateur team mainly fought for physical and physical fitness. The Chinese suffered a lot of physical and technical losses, and it was difficult to compete with immigrant teams from Europe, the Americas and Africa.
As the 1998 World Cup in France will open next year, the popularity of football has warmed up again in the Netherlands. This immigrant Cup is not only supported by the government, but also sponsored by Philips.
China's professional league is in full swing. Ambassador Tan of the Embassy in the Netherlands attaches great importance to this immigrant cup and has also come to watch the training. He hopes that the Dutch Chinese can also rise and represent the Chinese team in the immigrant football World Cup in Barcelona.
The All-Dutch Immigration Cup was held in June. The Oriental Dragon Club has started training two months in advance. However, a month ago, their coach and main defender Wang Wentao went to Libya to work. The Oriental Dragon could not find a suitable coach. It happened that Li Wei saw the news from Jiang Mu on the Internet and decided to invite Jiang Mu to come. It is coached by the Oriental Dragon.
Jiang Mu heard that it was only about half a month away from the Immigration Cup. Immediately after dinner, he made an intensive training plan by taking advantage of the time when the players had not yet arrived. Unfortunately, because the computer in 1997 was still very behind, Jiang Mu could make a perfect training plan with both voice and text. Even so, Li Wei and the Ke brothers were impressed by Jiang Mu's proficient business ability.
At the beginning of training in the afternoon, Jiang Mu had a conflict with the players again because of position problems.
Ke Ming, who is the left winger, said very dissatisfiedly, "Coach, I'm the left foot, but you put me on the right side. How do you want me to cross the ball? Do you want me to take the ball to the penalty area?"
Jiang Mu is a reborn person. His football ideas and training methods have surpassed the world for 30 years. Even if Jiang Mu has used the minimum requirements and tried to use football tactics and training methods closer to this era, contradictions are still inevitable. Dutch wingers and wingers in the 1990s were mainly underground. Instead of internal cutting, it is basically the left side with the left foot and the right side with the right foot. Now Jiang Mu arranges Ke Ming on the right side. It is normal for him to make an opinion.
"Yes, I just want you to take the ball to the front of the penalty area, the ribs of the penalty area, or cut it from the bottom line to the goal." Jiang Mu explained patiently.
Chen Xiong, the center of the Oriental Dragons, said sarcastically, "The winger and wing forwards have been cut inside. What are our strikers doing? Who will pass the ball for us? Let's go back to defense.
You're right. In my tactics, the striker must defend. From the first moment of losing the ball, he has to defend. When the winger and the full-back cut inside, the striker has to retreat, give space to his teammates, and be ready to receive at any time, instead of waiting to grab the point in the penalty area." Jiang Mu said quietly.
The players of the Oriental Dragons are a little dizzy. Although the Netherlands is the birthplace of full attack and full defense, the winger winger inner cut, and the striker withdrawal should not be popular until at least 7 years later. Jiang Mu proposed at this moment that it is normal that these amateur players can't accept it.
Football is an overall sport. The winger's wing forward cuts inside, and the subsequent change is the retreat of the center, so that the central forward who is responsible for the organization has less time to take the ball. Jiang Mu withdrew the centre forward and sent two midfielders in front of the four defenders. This is a 433 formation of defensive counterattack. A few years later, Mourinho With this formation, it swept the world, and now Jiang Mu has let it come out seven years in advance.
However, when Zhang Mu arranged this formation and tactics, several main players of the Oriental Dragons took the lead in opposing it, including the absolute main striker Ke Ming and the central striker Huang Tao. They could not accept this style of play. They thought that they could not exert their strength at all, and this conservative formation There is no power.
Jiang Mu doesn't want to use his identity as the head coach to force players. They are just amateur teams. There is no contract restrictions. They can come and leave as they want. The practice of professional clubs is not appropriate here.
"Well, since you don't like this formation and tactics, we might as well do an experiment. I'll choose 11 Chinese, Huang Tao and Ke Ming, your opponents and foreign players to form another team. We will play in an hour, and we won. You can train well according to my requirements. We lost. How about you just give me a good training? Do you dare to compare?"
Jiang Mu looked at these opponents with confidence and decided to teach them a lesson with facts. Otherwise, they don't know how many moths will come out later. Time is very tight, and it's better to solve them together now.
William the Dutchman is also among the opponents. He is the only Dutch native of the Oriental Dragon Club. He has a strong sense of superiority in football. He looked down on Jiang Mu from the beginning. When he heard Jiang Mu's challenge to them, he immediately responded, "Compet, but we can't just say how we lost, if Did you lose?
"I won't lose."
Jiang Mu is very confident about this, because technically speaking, the players in this team have similar technical level and are all bad. In the case of similar technical level, tactically speaking, according to his just deployment, most of the offensive football will lose to the defensive side; in terms of morale, he uses all the Chinese to deal with each The morale of the miscellaneous army of Chinese immigrants will certainly not be weaker than that of William. In terms of cooperation, they are all in the same team. There is not much difference. Except for luck, Jiang Mu can't think of any reason for losing.
When William saw that Jiang Mu did not answer his question head-on, he thought that Jiang Mu was afraid to bet with him. He said contemptuously, "Chinese people's favorite thing is bragging. If we lose, I will climb around the court. If you lose, you climb around the court. Do you dare?
"Okay, I lost and climbed ten laps, but I still hope you can think about it again." Jiang Mu saw William's rude provocation and determined to take him and give these people a shack.
Li Wei, the manager of the Oriental Dragon Club, began to hope to see Jiang Mu's coaching level through this confrontation. Now he sees that the bet of the two sides is to climb around the court, so unless they are tied in the end, there must be someone who can't get off the stage. He quickly came forward to dissuade, "Forget it, it's all from the same team, not opponents and enemies. Let's bet on dinner."
"Chairman Li, you don't have to stop it. We are voluntary. Of course, if he admits bragging, I can consider changing the bet." William said confidently.
Jiang Mu smiled and said to Li Wei, "Chairman Li, since Mr. William wants to practice dog shaving on the turf, you'd better complete him."
Li Wei saw that both sides were full of confidence and it was hard to say anything, so he had to wink at the players and signal them to play a draw, so that William and Jiang Mu would not be able to get off the stage. After all, Jiang Mu also seemed to be a competent coach, and William was the main back of the team, although he could not play in the Immigration Cup. But he is the most important Dutch Cup for amateur teams.
An hour later, the game began, and Li Wei, the chairman of the Oriental Dragon, served as the referee of the game.
After William's side opened the game, he used his familiar tactics to attack Jiang Mu's side. The winger pulled the edge, the defender assisted, opened the space in the middle, and used a short pass to penetrate the goal to attack. Although their skills cannot be compared with that of professional players, the offensive routine of Dutch football has been learned well. The reason why Dutch football is strong is that there are so many amateur teams and football fans at their bottom.
Because Jiang Mu's side only drilled for an hour, the tactics were very unfamiliar, and it was more out of the defensive posture. However, Jiang Mu arranged three midfielders. Although William took the initiative, he could not break through the defensive system of the four defenders and three midfielders under Jiang Mu.
Although Jiang Mu's side made a lot of mistakes because he had to adapt to the new tactics, the amateur player's ability to seize the opportunity was very poor, which was also one of the biggest differences between amateur and professional players. William's side did not grasp the opponent's mistake goal. In the first ten minutes, William's side seemed to play hotly, but except for Jiang Mu's mistake, they did not pose a substantial threat to Jiang Mu's goal.
Although Jiang Mu looked confident before the game began, after all, it was his first time to coach. What's more, there was another bet in the team that he couldn't bear. It was impossible not to be nervous. From the beginning of the game, Jiang Mu had been shouting to the players. He couldn't remember the player's name, so he called him. The number behind them, because there were no fans on the court, Jiang Mu's shouts clearly reached the court, but these players did not follow Jiang Mu's command most of the time.
Jiang Mu knew that the establishment of the head coach's authority and the change of the style of play were not a moment's work. He just fine-tuned the original style of play. In addition to the winger's internal cutting on the basis of the cross and the center's retreat, he turned the three centre forwards backs into three midfielders, and the rest still played according to the player's original habits.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Mu's players gradually stabilized the situation and began to launch a counterattack.
Generally, fans think that the defensive counterattack is very easy to play. In fact, the defensive counterattack is not less technical than the offensive. However, for amateur teams, the difficulty of defensive counterattack is obviously much simpler than the position attack. In the position attack, your passing must be accurate and fast, and the cooperation is very tacit, but if you counterattack Even if the pass is rougher and the cooperation is poor, as long as there are more opportunities, you will definitely grasp a few.
