Chapter 39 Situation
(Please click on the red ticket collection)
After a day of negotiations between Alkmaar and the Fast Boys, Kuyte's transfer to Alkmaar has been settled. When Kuyt was young, his skills were very rough, and most people did not think his future was so brilliant. The Fast Boys Club also asked for a training fee of 10,000 guilders. Their manager He also thinks that he has made a lot of money. If he has a perspective on the next five years, he will definitely beat his chest for his short-sightedness.
Not only the short-sighted boy is the fast boy, but many senior officials of Alkmaar Club are also not optimistic about Kuyt, including manager Nelson and head coach Van Dijk, and even Sherlinga is a little skeptical.
Nielsen didn't say much. This is the first time that Jiang Mu has bought a person since he joined the main youth team, and it's only 10,000 guilders, so he didn't object, but just reserved opinions. Let's wait and see what Kuite's future development.
However, Van Dijk would not let go of this good opportunity to hit Jiang Mu. He sneered and said that Jiang Mu only knew how to appreciate amateur players, and this amateur player was the worst kind. He suspected that Jiang Mu was using power for personal gain and doing private transactions.
If you are an ordinary youth team coach, you will definitely encounter trouble when you encounter an attack like head coach Van Dijk. However, Jiang Mu had the magical aura of leading the amateur team to the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup before, and was supported by Shringer and Dirk. Van Dijk's words did not have any negative effect.
In order to refute the doubts of some people in the club about Kuyt, on the day Kuyt's arrival, Jiang Mu led all the players and coaches of the youth team to welcome the simple teenager from the small fishing village and arranged an intra-team training match for him the next day.
This team training match has attracted the attention of many fans, including some club staff and senior executives. The Alkmaar youth team has always only recruited players nearby. It is the first time that the head coach personally dug players from other places. Many people want to see how Kuite's technical level is.
Jiang Mu's technical and tactical ideas are closely related to the Dutch football ideas, but they have been strengthened and highlighted in some links to form their own characteristics. Such tactics are easily accepted by players. Although Jiang Mu has only taken over for two weeks, the players of the second team have played very well, and the front court is extremely fierce. Don't give your opponent a chance to breathe, just like the rhythm of the Premier League, it looks like a suffocating feeling.
And the control in the backcourt is thin and long, not impatient, patiently waiting for the opponent to grab, controlling the ball and kicking the ball are never difficult for Dutch players, but playing so patiently, it is very rare to control the ball for such a long time without attacking. Although Jiang Mu has not made a big change to the team, it is not like a Dutch team at all, which surprises the watching fans and club officials.
Kuite's performance in his first appearance was not perfect. His skills are still rough, the stop is large, his skills are poor, and his passing is not very accurate, but his diligence is the most outstanding in the team. His hard work in the front court makes the opponent's defender a headache, and Kuyt's physical fitness is excellent, full of the field. Run without losing speed at all.
Of course, this is just an appearance. The insider looks at the doorway. What Kuite appreciates most is that he is extremely observient to tactical discipline, meticulously completes it, and never delays.
Although Kuyt's first appearance did not impress fans and club officials, no one thought it was worth spending 10,000 Dutch dong to buy him. In terms of cost performance, this should be a very cost-effective deal.
Of course, Van Dijk will never admit this. Although he also saw that players like Kuit are very suitable for Jiang Mu's tactical requirements, he still slandered Kuyt, saying that the youth team does not need to consider the record. They are training talents for a team, rather than looking for players suitable for their own tactics. Jiang Mu's approach It is a sign of grandstanding and selfishness.
Van Dijk's words were agreed by some club officials and fans, but they did not convince Nelson and Dirk. In their opinion, it is normal for Jiang Mu to do so, because Jiang Mu will replace Van Dijk as the coach of the first team next season. He is now digging for players suitable for his tactics with a long-term vision. The performance.
Jiang Mu is working hard to build his own direct army, and the youth team's achievements are also booming. In the reserve team league, they have won consecutive victories, all with big scores, taking into account both winning and being beautiful, and attracting more and more fans to watch.
And now Alkmaar has still not got rid of the invincible circle, and it is getting farther and farther away from the top of the list.
Alkmaar's crisis was actually latent as early as when Van Dijk used a set of lineup to fight the world. Losing to the Oriental Dragons led by Jiang Mu in the Dutch Cup was just an opportunity to detonate.
Every team has ** and troughs. Every coach has a crisis. Success requires luck, but whether he can get out of the predicament often depends on the coach's character. Alkmaar can't extricate himself in the dilemma mainly because of Van Dijk's stubbornness and stubbornness.
In fact, after losing three games in a row, if Van Dijk can adjust the lineup in time, I believe that the substitutes and the young people of the second team, or resolutely buy people during the winter transfer period, can also barely pass. After all, Alkmaar is the most well-funded of all the Eerste Divisie teams, but at the beginning, Van Dijk hopes to transfer in the winter. He bought people at the meeting. As a result, because of the temporary change of the other club, Alkmaar did not buy the right player. Van Dijk had to temporarily let the substitute and the young players of the second team come up. These players did not go through the exercise and running-in of the game. How could they be compared with the original old players? As a result, not only did they not let the team get out of trouble. On the contrary, it has caused conflicts between new and old players, and the results have become worse.
The Dutch Telegraph said that when Van Dijk was facing a trough, his stubbornness and rudeness made him fall deeper and deeper in the crisis and lost his ability to extricate himself. Now not only do the fans call him out of class, but also his prestige among the players has been lost, and the club has lost trust in him.
International Football of the Dutch Cup commented that Van Dijk's football lacks flexibility and fighting power, and can only lead without falling behind. If Alkmaar's senior management is not made a decision, their efforts in a season may be gone.
In mid-March, the home game with the leader Emmon team is a back game for Van Dijk. If he can beat Emmon, he can still have a decent chance to leave Alkmaar after the end of the season, but if he loses this game and loses eight games in a row, then except for the boss Deere. No one can keep his handsome position anymore.
The battle depends on courage and wisdom, but more on unity. However, now Alkmaar is centrifugal and his morale is low, which is not enough to fight such a hard battle.
Before the game, Van Dijk said in a high profile that he would win the game anyway. As a result, Alkmaar conceded the ball in the first minute, and then their psychology collapsed. They were won by Emmon's cleanly 3:0, and almost completely lost the possibility of the first place in the league. If there is no surprise, Alkmaar can only participate in the play-offs of eight teams after the end of the league.
Although Alkmaar has been at the forefront of the storm during this period, there are many rumors about the team and Van Dijk, some of which are related to Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu did not pay attention to these. There are only nine games left this season. Now there is little difference between taking over and next season, but the two teams are in the same team all day long. Base training, there are a lot of rumors about the first team, even if he doesn't want to know, it is impossible.
On this day, as soon as Jiang Mu arrived at the training base, he saw that the players did not make preparations for the training, but discussed in groups. Even his good friend and assistant Zhao Guangming and assistant and mentor Lin Nazhou actually mixed with these young people, which made Jiang Mu a little angry.
"What are you talking about? Do you still have a sense of time? Let's see what time it is."
Jiang Mu scolded the players with a calm face, but his eyes stared at Zhao Guangming.
Zhao Guangming didn't care about Jiang Mu's dissatisfied eyes. He stood up, patted Kuyt on the shoulder, and said to the players, "Let's get ready to train. The head is coming."
When the players went to the locker room to change their clothes, Zhao Guangming came to Jiang Mu with a smile and said, "Good news."
"What good news? He also made excuses for his idleness. Jiang Mu said unhappily.
"It's really not an excuse..." Zhao Guangming mysteriously put his mouth to Jiang Mu's ear and said, "I heard that Van Dijk is going to be out of class. Do you think it's good news?"
Jiang Mu was slightly stunned and immediately said, "I've heard that this kind of thing existed as early as a month ago."
Zhao Guangming said, "It's different now. Really, wait and see. The order to dismiss Van Dijk will come down soon."
"What does it have to do with us if you can't come down? Prepare for training quickly. Don't worry about these things that are not within the scope of our position." Jiang Mu criticized Zhao Guangming unhappily.
"I know." Zhao Guangming was secretly funny when he saw Jiang Mu's serious appearance, because they had a heated discussion last night, and most of his views today were still Jiang Mu's.
At this time, the young players came out of the locker room. Jiang Mu was thinking of going to assign today's training tasks to the players and let Zhao Guangming take the training. He was going to take time to France with Linna Zhou to get Drogba. After so many days of activities, he only dug up a Kuite and a few little demons, which made Jiang Mu very Have a sense of achievement.
"Dingling."
At this time, the mobile phone rang.
Jiang Mu took out his mobile phone to see if it was Shilinga.
"Jiang Mu, come to the manager's office. I'm looking for you."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Jiang Mu explained the training task to Zhao Guangming and walked to the office building.
