Chapter 34 Join the Youth Team

The next day was Sunday. As soon as Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming had breakfast, Shringer called and asked him and Zhao Guangming to come to the Alkmaar Club. Manager Nelson and his father Dirk wanted to talk to them.

Jiang Mu hung up the phone, and Zhao Guangming asked, "Wood, who are you calling? You're so busy."

Jiang Mu didn't tell him about letting Zhao Guangming go with him to Alkmaar as an assistant coach, because he was not very sure. Now he felt that he needed to discuss it with Zhao Guangming and said, "Guangming, there is something I want to talk to you about. Just now, Sheringjia called me and asked me to be with him. Father, Alkmaar's boss, Dirk, talked about letting you go together. Shringa wants you to be the assistant coach of the Alkma youth team. Would you like to go?"

"Go to Alkmaar to be an assistant coach?" Zhao Guangming was a little confused, "Wood, is it true or not?"

Jiang Mu said, "Of course it's true. Be my assistant. And Elder Lin Nazhou.

"Then how can I go back to China?" Zhao Guangming was obviously confused.

"If you agree, you can't leave for the time being, but you can go back after the end of the season. I don't know if you want to help me." Jiang Mudao.

After the initial chaos, Zhao Guangming suddenly realized and said with great joy, "Nonsense, fucking nonsense, how can I not want to? Working as a coach abroad is not a hundred times better than at home. I originally wanted to go back to China because I didn't have a stable and decent job abroad."

Then Zhao Guangming corrected and said, "Actually, wood, I still can't bear to part with you. You said that I have returned to China, and you stayed abroad alone. I can't stand it. So, you can invite me to dinner."

"I found a job for you, and you even asked me to treat you to dinner. What's the rule of your country?" Jiang Mu said angrily.

"The rules of my state of Zhao." Zhao Guangming put on a suit, and his leather shoes were polished brightly, and he said proudly.

"Get out of here, go quickly, don't let the boss wait for us, a migrant worker."

Jiang Mu urged when he saw that Zhao Guangming was still looking in the mirror after dressing up.

"Let's go, let's go. How can we wait for us?"

Zhao Guangming felt that his clothes were flawless, so he left home with Jiang Mu and rushed to Alkmaar.

Alkmaar Club is less than a kilometer south of Alkmaar. They are the only professional club in this small city with a population of 90,000. Although they were once brilliant in the 1980s, won double championships in the league and cup, and reached the final of the UEFA Cup, they are still A very small club, with a small area and a small stadium, can only accommodate 8,000 fans. If they play against teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester United, their stadium can't even accommodate the fans of the visiting team.

When Zhao Guangming and Jiang Mu came to the Alkmaar Club, Sheringer was already waiting in front of the door.

"Jiang, Zhao, my father and Uncle Nelson have agreed in principle, but he still wants to talk to you in person before making a decision. After all, this is not just a matter of a youth team coach. Their prudence hopes that you can understand." Sherinja seemed to have waited for a while and came straight to the point.

Before Jiang Mu could say anything, Zhao Guangming said, "I understand, who can be careless about such a thing."

Jiang Mu said, "What happened to Lin Nazhou..."

Sherringia said, "My father and Uncle Nelson both know Lin Nazhou, and they are very reassured about him. Just ask him to sign the contract by the way when he comes to work."

Jiang Mu said, "That's good. Let's go there. Don't let your father and Manager Nelson wait for a long time."

"Okay."

Sheringa led the way in front, and three people came to Dirk's chairman's office. Manager Nelson is also here, and he and Dirk are talking about something.

Dirk is tall and burly. Because he was a policeman, he has a little military demeanor and is not angry. Nelson is a rare short and fat person in Europe. He is smooth and seems to be like a Maitreya Buddha, but don't be confused by his appearance. His eyes are shrewd and wise.

"Welcome Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhao to Alkmaar."

"I've been seeing Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhao for a long time."

Seeing Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming coming in, Nelson and Dirk both stood up and reached out to hold hands with two people. After a simple greeting, the secretary sent coffee, and the five guests sat down.

"During this period, Mr. Jiang's name has been very famous in the Netherlands. I've always wanted to visit Mr. Jiang, but unfortunately I don't have time. Today, my wish has come true." Dirk said with emotion.

"I dare not, Chairman Dirk, you have been flattered. Except for an immigration cup champion who can't stand on the table, I haven't got any results." Jiang Mu said sincerely that he is not modest. He is a winner. If he can't win or win the championship, it is a failure for Jiang Mu.

"No, your result is more sensational than winning the championship. I still don't understand how you can beat us and Brendan with an amateur team and draw with Ajax in 90 minutes?"

Dirk became excited. This problem has been in his heart for a long time. If no one has explained it to him clearly, he will have to get sick.

Nielsen also stopped talking with Zhao Guangming and turned his eyes to Jiang Mu. For him, this was also a mystery. If he hadn't been worried about affecting Van Dijk, he would have gone to meet Jiang Mu in person.

Jiang Mu is very familiar with this topic. Almost every reporter who has interviewed him has raised this question, but Jiang Mu still meditated for a moment and said, "This seems to be a miracle. In fact, it seems to me that it is very common. I think it is a miracle to lead the amateur team to defeat the professional team, mainly because they think The victory or defeat of the football match is in the 90-minute game, or it is thought that the outcome of the game only depends on the 22 players and a referee on the field, but in fact this is not the case.

Football is a war, which shows that there are many factors that determine the outcome of the football game. The club's finance, the current situation, the player's personal ability, technical and tactical application, psychology, spiritual quality, morale, luck, venue, fans, referees, understanding of the opponent, etc. will affect the results of the game. We have been extremely meticulous in preparing for the game, and even studied the wind direction and sunlight. It can be said that in addition to the strength of the players, we are stronger than our opponents in all other factors that affect the victory or defeat, so winning is not a miracle, but the result of our efforts.

Jiang Mu's words are not bragging, well-founded and well-organized. After he finished speaking, Nelson and Dirk applauded gently. Dirk sighed, "Indeed, we think too little. Listening to Coach Jiang's words, it's really not luck for us to lose. It's ourselves. Defeat yourself."

Nielsen said, "If the coach is changed, I'm afraid that the Oriental Dragons will have no hope at all."

Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, because I'm the coach of a professional team, I'm afraid I won't seriously study a fourth-level amateur team."

Dirk was confused and said, "As you say, any coach can lead an amateur team to defeat the professional team?"

Jiang Mu smiled and said proudly, "Of course not. There is a critical point. Among the factors that determine the outcome, the most important thing is the player's personal ability, which is also the biggest difference between professional players and amateur players. Only other secondary factors add up to the main factors that determine the outcome of the game. It will only happen if the rest of the team beat the professional team. Coach Van Dijk must be the most touched. We have achieved perfection in any other factor.

Nielsen said, "Coach Jiang's words gave me a deeper understanding of the football game. You simply treat a game as a war."

Jiang Mu said, "Yes, I think football is war, and the first thing to consider is victory or defeat."

Nelsen said, "From your tactical arrangement, your football thinking seems to belong to the pragmatic faction."

Jiang Mu said, "Yes, I advocate the view of Sun Tzu, a famous military strategist in our country in tactical arrangements: soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who can win due to enemy changes are called gods."

"Wonderful!"

Dirk and Nelson applauded almost at the same time. They were a little worried because Jiang Mu was too young. Now they are more than half worried about Jiang Mu. This is definitely a talented coach. Although he is young, he can't see at all that he is immature, calm and experienced, and even a little heart. The machine is deep.

Dirk said, "Coach Jiang, I fully believe that you have the ability to coach Alkmaar well, but to be honest, you are too young. I'm afraid you will encounter some trouble at the beginning. People are not purely rational animals."

Jiang Mu said, "Thank you, Chairman, for reminding me that I have prepared in advance. I asked Mr. Lin Nazhou to be my assistant. I just want to use his prestige to convince those simple-minded players. They only believe in authority, not ability."

Nelson laughed and said, "Sherringia really found a treasure for us. Coach Jiang is really helpless. Even my old man is convinced. I don't know what role Mr. Zhao will play in Coach Jiang's team?

Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Zhao Guangming is my former colleague. He is good at mining talented players and physical training, and can help Lin Nazhou coordinate the team relationship."

Zhao Guangming glanced at Jiang Mu and was convinced. He was good at digging out some geniuses and knew what physical training. Compared with European coaches, he was a scum, but Jiang Mu said righteously, as if he was a rare talent. What a shameless spirit he was. He almost knelt down.

Nielsen now believes in Jiang Mu's words and no longer asks Zhao Guangming questions. He directly took out the prepared contract and said, "Coach Jiang, Coach Zhao, here is a draft contract. You two take a look and see if there is anything you are not satisfied. Please put it forward and we will discuss it. "

Jiang Mu swept the contract and asked Chang'e No. 1 to analyze it. Before Zhao Guangming finished reading a page, Chang'e No. 1 analyzed all the details and doubts of the contract and presented them in Jiang Mu's mind one by one.

This contract was signed for three years. Because it is a contract to coach the youth team, the annual salary is not linked to the results, and the annual salary of 80,000 guilders is directly given. Although after many years, the annual salary of professional coaches is astronomical, in 1998, the coach of the Eerste Divisie youth team, 80,000 Dutch guilders was a high salary.

"I agree, there is nothing to modify. The lawyer in the club is very good. Jiang Mudao.

Nelson couldn't help giving a thumbs up again and said, "Sherlinga said that Coach Jiang never forgets it. It's true. In this case, you can sign it."

After Jiang Mu signed the contract, Nelson and he signed an agreement with him to coach the first team next season. At this time, Zhao Guangming finished reading the contract. Zhao Guangming's annual salary was 30,000 Dutch guilders. Although the annual salary difference with Jiang Mu's annual salary was more than twice, it would cost more than 100,000 yuan to convert it into RMB. Zhao Guangming naturally agreed 100. Sign the contract right away.

After the contract was signed, Dirk and Nelson invited Jiang Mu and Zhao Guangming to dinner in the hotel. At the wine table, the two sides laughed happily. Jiang Mu's talent made Dirk like it more and more. At the wine table, he repeatedly invited Jiang Mu to have time to visit his house, so that even Nelson saw that he was a little tricky and was more to Jiang Mu. Look at it in different eyes.
