Chapter 23 Heroes and Beauty
The fourth-level amateur team, the Oriental Dragon, eliminated the leader of the Eerste Divisie Alkmaar and advanced to the top 16 of the Dutch Cup, which was a result that no imaginative person could have imagined before the game.
Compared with the battle of the Dutch team, there is almost no media to interview this inconspicuous competition before the game, and there is no live TV broadcast. This game is too inconspicuous. The Eerste Diviso is a marginalized league. They will be noticed unless there is no Dutch team to participate in the game. Although the leader of the Eerste Divisie is nothing in Dutch football, they are like the Alps in front of amateur teams.
But after the game between Alkmaar and the Oriental Dragons, it is completely different. According to the principle of news interviews, it is not news that Alkmaar eliminated the Oriental Dragons, but the elimination of Alkmaar by the Oriental Dragons is definitely news, and it is sensational news.
After Hendry, a reporter from the Amsterdam Comprehensive News, an unknown tabloid, reported on the game one after another and interviewed this team dominated by Chinese immigrants. However, in just a few days, the Oriental Dragons became famous throughout the Netherlands, and even some media in Europe This sentence is also mentioned in the corner. After all, it is not something that an amateur team in the fourth league can reach the top 16 every year.
The miracle has appeared, and the fans naturally want to ask why the miracle happened. Who directed this miracle? The media will definitely not let go of this opportunity to catch the attention of the fans.
The famous Dutch newspaper Daily Telegraph, with the title of Who is the Hero, rarely uses a page to praise the fourth-level amateur team Oriental Dragon.
"... The Oriental Dragons, this is an unknown name. It is one of the tens of thousands of amateur clubs in the Netherlands, and it is an extremely ordinary one. They have never made the fourth round of the Dutch Cup before. Their best result is to enter the third round under the leadership of former Dutch international Linna Zhou, and now They have successfully become one of the 16 best teams in the Dutch Cup. What happened between them?
Things have to start with the Immigration Cup three months ago. The Oriental Dragons are an immigrant-oriented team. In order to prepare for the Immigration Cup, they invited Jiang Mu, a Chinese coach who stayed in the Netherlands due to illness. Speaking of which, Jiang Mu also had a legend in the Netherlands. He applied for jobs to almost all professional teams in the Netherlands. Yes, but no one wants to hire him, and now it turns out that Jiang Mu does have the talent to become a professional coach.
In just one month of leading the team, Jiang Mu led the Chinese immigration team to win the immigrant cup, and three months later, he led the fourth-level amateur team Oriental Dragon to eliminate the leader of the Eerste Divisie, Alkmaar.
Jiang Mu's appearance can be described as the birth of such a feat in three months. Although the elimination of Alkmal Keliang and Zhou Xiaohu this time is indispensable, the real hero is Jiang Mu. Without him, there would be no oriental dragon that created miracles.
Although the Oriental Dragons play in the amateur league, and there are not many videos to the outside world, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find the reason why the Oriental Dragons have made this kind of transformation: the young Chinese Jiang Mu has brought new tactics to this amateur team, and the four-three-three formation has been transformed into a three-back defense. Counterattack formation, four, three, three, winger in-cutting tactics, and front-court robbing tactics. Although these tactics are just a small deformation in Dutch football tactics, this deformation is very fatal, because after hundreds of years of development, the tactical system of football has been very rigorous, and it is great to be able to make a little change. ......”
The report of "Daily Telegraph" made Jiang Mu famous overnight. Although fans still don't pay much attention to this chicken-like Dutch Cup, the Dutch football circle knows that there is a talented coach from China in the amateur league, and some top amateur league teams are thinking Jiang Mu was hired as his assistant coach, but he was rejected by Jiang Mu. He was in the amateur league and was not interested in the invitation of other amateur leagues.
The day after the game, Jiang Mu came to work in a travel company as usual. Although his success in the Dutch Cup brought him a great reputation, it did not bring any fundamental changes to his life. In addition to leading the team to the training game, he must also make money to support himself.
I took this domestic tour group around some famous attractions in the Netherlands, and then went to Amsterdam's famous red light district in the evening. In the late 1990s, China was still very closed. Even if this tour group was a publicly funded bureaucrat, they were full of curiosity and longing for the red light district. Jiang Muwan Bringing them here is to create opportunities for them. After all, everyone is in the same unit. It's embarrassing. There are not so many worries at night.
Sending guests to the booked hotel, Jiang Mu's work is officially over. He works more than ten hours a day. No matter how beautiful the scenery of the Netherlands is, he is tired of it. Jiang Mu just wants to go back to the kennel where he and Zhao Guangming live, take a shower, drink a glass of wine, have a good sleep, and eliminate the fatigue of the day.
A light and melodious "Turkish March" sounded. Jiang Mu took out his mobile phone and it turned out to be a call from Sherinjia, which surprised Jiang Mu.
"Hello, Miss Sherringia, how are you?"
"I'm Sherlinga. How are you, Mr. Jiang?" Sherringa's faint and elegant voice came from her mobile phone.
"Miss Sherringia, what can I do for you?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just boring. I want to buy you a glass of wine and talk about oriental culture."
"Ask me to have a glass of wine and talk about oriental culture?" Jiang Mu almost thought that he had misheard. A woman like Sherringia's father is the holder of Frisia and DSB Bank, a large insurance company in the Netherlands, and there are many financial industries under his name. I am also a top beauty. It can be said that she is both rich and beautiful. When she is bored, she is a young talent who wants to drink with her. From Amsterdam to Rotterdam, she took the initiative to buy herself a drink and chat. If Jiang Mu thinks it's normal, he must not be a normal person.
"Yes, there is a saying in China that if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall, is it okay to drink and chat?"
"Ha ha, Miss Sherringia, going to the Three Treasures Hall means to visit someone else's house. Do you want to come to my house?"
Jiang Mu didn't believe that Sheringer really talked to him about oriental culture at all, but since he will meet in a while, there is no need for him to ask on the phone. The fool and the eunuch Liu Xiahui will ask on the phone.
"Where are you now?"
"Amsterdam, I'm getting ready to go home."
"Oh, great. I happen to be in Amsterdam, but I won't go to your house. Let's go to the Paganini Bar. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"
"I have no problem with this, because I seldom go out and have no money."
"Don't worry about this. You don't have to pay for it, and there is no AA system. I'll treat you." Sheringa said with a chuckle.
"Okay, I'll invite you back when I get my salary."
"Well, I remember." Sheringa answered very seriously.
Paganini Bar is next to the famous Leiden Square in central Amsterdam, overlooking one of the most distinctive canals in the city. It is a favorite bar for upper-class young people. When Jiang Mu and Sherlinga came to the bar, there were few people, and the nightlife in Amsterdam had not yet begun. Sheringa asked for two glasses of gin at the bar and found a quiet seat with a good view with Jiang Mu.
Qin wine can be regarded as the national wine of the Netherlands. It is a kind of spirit wine made by fermentation and distillation of barley, oats and wheat, and adding the fruits of juniper. The alcohol concentration is more than 35%. The name of gin comes from the Latin word for juniper fruit, which means to energize and restore vitality.
Jiang Muxiao took a sip, sighed, and said, "Famousness and fortune are floating clouds. After work every day, find a bar and leisurely accompany the beautiful woman to drink two glasses of gin. I think this is the fucking life."
"Does this seem to be your Chinese Taoist ideology?"
Sherringia put a white hooded coat on the back of the chair and elegantly folded her legs. Even in and out of the bar, her dress is still very simple and low-key, but her straight and seductive figure and elegant temperament still attract a lot of attention.
"It seems that you really know something about Chinese culture." Jiang Mu was a little awe-inspiring, because many girls said that they liked Chinese culture, but they were Ye Gonghaolong and wanted to be an alternative that attracted people's attention. However, the thoughts of our Chinese people are very complicated, because our history is too long. In the depths of the soul of every Chinese, there is an old man, a Confucius, a birth, a entering the world, a negative and a positive.
Although Jiang Mu doesn't know much about Taoism and Confucianism, as long as he is Chinese, what they say is enough to stun any Nordic girl.
"It's really far and mysterious. Can you tell me the story of Laozi and Confucius?"
Sherringia smiled and said that for the beautiful women of the rich family, there is a sworn enemy that they can never avoid. This enemy follows them all the time and constantly interferes with their lives. This sworn enemy is - boring. The children of the rich have never been materially worried, and they have never been dissatisfied with life. If they are beautiful women, they will have a strong sense of boredom from the bottom of their hearts, because they have everything. Every day is a party, good wine, handsome men, and the future is stable. There is nothing in life that they need to pursue anymore. Instead, they are mentally immersed in endless emptiness, and life is rich every day. Bored. At this time, if they meet a very different man, a very "repressing" man, she is easily attracted to him.
"Of course, but there are too many stories about Confucius. If you want to finish it, I'm afraid you have to ask me to be a tutor. There are not many stories about me. I'll tell you a story of Laozi turning into a Buddha first."
Although Jiang Mu has never had the habit of telling stories to people, in the face of beautiful women, this habit was immediately changed. He vividly told Shryn Jia that I came out of Hangu Pass and wrote it down? The story of the Tao Te Ching.
