Chapter 43 Kill a hundred
Towards nine o'clock, physical coach Borden, goalkeeper coach Miles and team doctor Seravi came to the court together. Some reporters also followed to the training base.
Today is the day when Jiang Mu took office. Now Jiang Mu also has a certain reputation in Dutch football. Many newspapers and reporters come to interview.
Boden, a physical fitness coach in his forties, turned out to be Van Dijk's assistant coach. Originally, before Van Dijk's class was over, the strong Boden's call to replace Van Dijk was also very high, but after Jiang Mu joined the main team, he became a physical coach, which made Boden very unhappy.
After Borden gathered the team, he said to the players, "Hi, everyone, I have some news to tell you that Coach Van Dijk has resigned. He is sorry that he can't bring the team out of such a predicament, and he is also shameless to see you. I specially want to bring you a message..."
At this time, Jiang Mu and Lin Nazhou walked to the front of the team. Boden continued: "Now our head coach is Coach Jiang Mu. I believe you don't need me to introduce you. Now let's welcome Coach Jiang Mu."
Boden, goalkeeper coach Miles and team doctor Serawi took the lead in applauding.
But more than half of the more than 20 players looked at Jiang Mu coldly, and only half of the players applauded and welcomed him. Most of them were substitutes. What they wanted most was to change the coach, so that they could stand out. However, the main players are the last to want to change a coach they are not familiar with, because no one knows what the new coach is and what kind of player they like to use. Maybe your main position will not be guaranteed.
Even if Jiang Mu didn't hear what Borden said, he knew that the physical coach had a problem with him. The two were competitive before Van Dijk finished class. When he came to power, it was strange that he was not jealous, but Jiang Mu didn't want to care too much. If Borden could be separated from public and private, he would not be ready to replace him next season. If he doesn't cooperate with himself, he can only kick him out of the coaching staff.
"Hm everyone, I'm Jiang Mu, and this is my assistant, Coach Lin Na Zhou..."
Papa!
The applause interrupted Jiang Mu's speech. Lin Nazhou was still very influential in the minds of the Dutch players, and they also respected the Dutch Chinese who made a great name in professional football. Hearing Jiang Mu introduce Lin Nazhou, all the players applauded.
Although the players are applauding for Linna Zhou, not for Jiang Mu, because Jiang Mu introduced himself and Linna Zhou together, in the eyes of fans and reporters, it seems that the players welcome the two of them.
"... I know that some of your players don't like me, but it doesn't matter. Many people don't like their work, but it doesn't prevent them from doing a good job. I think I will cooperate with everyone happily.
Now let me talk about my coaching philosophy and tell you clearly that I am not an idealist. The first principle of my coaching is to win. If there is no victory or defeat, there will be no competitive football. Other things such as art, fairness, friendship, etc. will be discussed after you can win.
Of course, I will never force everyone to be like my football philosophy. You can pursue artistic football, you can pursue fair football, and you can behave like a gentleman on the court. However, you must complete the task I taught you. If you can't finish it, it's very simple. You come down and let the task be able to complete. People go to finish..."
When Jiang Mu said this, the players' mood fluctuated. Some were thinking, some applauding, and some players disdained, but no one was indifferent, because Jiang Mu said very sincerely, respecting his own ideas and respecting the choices of players.
Jiang Mu paused for a moment, gave the players time to think, and then said, "... Now let me talk about our tasks this season. Now many people think that our league is hopeless. Now we have to seriously prepare for the play-offs, including the leaders of the club.
But I don't think so, and my players can never think so. Whoever thinks so should not stay here. They can choose to go to the second team, transfer, or go on vacation. My teaching creed is that there is a 1% hope and 100% effort. Miracles are not waiting for, but in exchange for hard work. Next, we are going to fight for that direct promotion quota..."
Jiang Mu's words caused a bigger **, because now the possibility of Alkmaar's direct upgrade is too small. The ranking falls to the third place, 12 minutes away from the first place, and there is a 6 points difference from the second place, and there are only 7 games in the game, that is to say, as long as the first place wins three games, the rest are all If the department loses, Alkmaar will not have a chance to upgrade directly even if he wins. The only chance is the second place. What's more, can Alkmaar win all the games in his current state?
Captain Maher finally couldn't stand it. He knew that if he didn't speak, no one would dare to speak. He stood up and said, "Coach Jiang Mu, can I tell you my objection?"
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "If you have anything, just say it. Captain Maher."
"Coach, do you know where we are now in the league?" Maher asked.
"Captain Maher, please express your views directly. Don't talk to me in this questioning tone. Time is precious, and we still need to train." Jiang Mu didn't like Maher's tone of relying on the old and selling the old. Not only did he not answer, but he also countered rudely.
Marshir was so choked that he almost couldn't breathe. He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, Coach Jiang Mu, there are still 7 games in the league. We are 11 points behind the first place and five points behind the second place. Do you think we still have hope? I think our wisest choice is to learn your new playing method now and grind together. The next lineup is to prepare for the play-offs at the end of the season. You said you are a utilitarian, but now I see how you are an idealist.
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Captain Maher, if we are 21 points away from the first place now, I will have the same idea as you, preparing for the play-offs after the league. But now it's only 11 points. What I mean is very clear. Don't you understand?"
Mahir said, "But the possibility is too small. If there is no play-offs after the end of the league, I agree with you, but now I think Coach Jiang Mu should think twice."
Jiang Mu said, "I thought twice before I became the coach of the first team. Now what I want to ask is, does Captain Maher still stick to his point of view?"
Maher gritted his teeth and said, "Coach Jiang Mu, for the benefit of the team, I also adhere to my point of view."
Jiang Mu couldn't help coming up angrily. He asked the old guy several times in a row, just to give him a step down, but he still opposed himself. It seemed that he could only take him to stand up.
"Well, Captain Maher, from now on, you can go to the second team to report. There can't be two voices in my team."
"What? You ask me to go to the second team. Maher couldn't believe his ears. He stayed in Alkmaar for 30 years, and even the manager and chairman of the club admired him for three points. This young man in his twenties asked him to go to the second team on the first day of coaching. He was simply crazy.
"Yes, you can go to the second team to reflect. If you think about it, you can come back at any time. Of course, if you have thought about it now, you can not go. Jiang Mu gave Maher a chance again.
"Okay, young man, you're awesome. Take your team to the first Division." Maher took off the captain's armband, kissed it affectionately, put it on the lawn, and said sadly, "I'm thirty-six years old. I've been playing for Alkmaar for 30 years. No one loves this team more than me. I didn't expect to be kicked out of the team one day. In fact, I wanted to retire three years ago, but Mr. Dirk came to my house and told me that the team couldn't be without me, so I stayed.
Speaking of this, Maher's voice suddenly became harsh, "Chinese, I don't need to reflect. It's you who I need to reflect on. You are too arrogant. I tell you, I won't go to the second team and won't accept your humiliation. I will apply for retirement now. I will watch you at home how you are defeated."
After saying that, Maher left the base angrily and walked to the office building.
Seeing Maher leave, Lin Nazhou hesitated for a moment and wanted to stop him, but looking at Jiang Mu's firm face, he pulled back weakly.
Physical coach Borden, goalkeeper coach Miles and team doctor Seravi also stood still. The goalkeeper coach Miles and team doctor Seravi were shocked by Jiang Mu, but the physical coach Borden hoped that Maher would sue Jiang Mu and wait to see Jiang Mu make a fool.
Jiang Mu sighed in his heart. He didn't want to drive away the old minister of Alkmaar, but now he has to do this for his authority, and he has to do it even more.
"I respect Captain Maher very much, but for me, the interests of the team are above all else, because I am the head coach of this team, which is my duty and obligation. Now who has any objection? If you don't agree, go straight to the west and go to the second team to report."
No one moved, and everyone was suppressed by Jiang Mu's periled methods and iron-blooded heart. Now no one thinks that Jiang Mu is young, no one dares to laugh at his qualifications, and no one dares to despise Jiang Mu as a Chinese, because from his look, this Chinese even plans to replace the second team and the first team in half. .
Jiang Mu waited for a minute and saw that there was still no movement. He nodded and said, "Okay, now let's do our best, and the goal is to win all six games. Now I appoint the acting captain. He is Artidore..."
The team made a ** sound again, because Altidore was still sent down to the second team by Van Dijk, and he hasn't been transferred back yet.
"...Yes, you heard it correctly. From today on, Altifiedre, Kuit and Rubins will be transferred to the first team, but this captain is temporary. When these six games are over, you can elect the captain. Well, my speech is over. Let's start training now."
