Chapter 49 Tongue Battle

(You can't think wrongly! It's always a serious start to play football.)

When Jiang Mu and Artidore came to the press conference, Zwolle's assistant coach had been waiting for several minutes. It seemed that he was very impatient. Zwolle's head coach Fernando was unwilling to come to this shameful press conference. His assistant coach was also ashamed, but there was nothing he could do. He was eager to say a few words from Fernando and left immediately.

When the host saw Jiang Mu coming, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang Mu has also arrived. Now ask Zwolle's assistant coach Fener to talk about his views on this game."

Fener looked at the note in front of him with a blank face and read, "I'm sorry, the fan friends in front of the TV and the reporter friends at the scene, Coach Fernando is not feeling well, so I will attend this press conference in his place..."

Hearing a boo from the rostrum here, the reporters are shrewd like monkeys. How can they not hear such a clumsy excuse? Many people are waiting for the following reporter's question session to expose Fener's lies.

"... We didn't play well in this game, and we were not well prepared. The rhythm of the game was controlled by Alkmaar. Each of our players did not play their own level, which is the reason for the strange result at the end of the game. Of course, it's not that our players didn't try their best. Many tactics on the football field are compatible. Our players are restrained. They worked hard but didn't get a better result, which makes me a pity.

Next, I will reiterate the team's goal. Although we lost this game, it does not affect our goal of competing for the first place in the last stage. I believe that the players have also regained their fighting spirit after adjustment.

What Fenner said was normal, which not only explained the reason why the head coach did not participate in the news play, but also apologized to the fans and put forward the team's goals. It can be said that Fener's spokesman was very qualified.

There are no highlights in Fener's speech. It is purely based on the book. The reporters set their eyes on Jiang Mu. They hope that the head coach in his twenties can make some news.

"This is my first time to attend a press conference. Please forgive me if there is something wrong."

Jiang Mu took a sip of the mineral water handed over by Artidore and said in Dutch easily. Although he was the head coach for the first time, he attended many occasions, so he did not have stage fright.

Many reporters on the stage did not know that Jiang Mu could speak Dutch. They were surprised to see Jiang Mu speaking fluently in Dutch.

"First of all, congratulations to my players. They played so well today that they made the sun shine this afternoon. It can be to speak, I didn't expect such a score before the game, six more goals than I expected.

Everyone knows that the strength gap between the Eerste Divisie teams is not big, and it is crazy to have such a score. Even teams like Ajax and Real Madrid may not be able to score 9 goals. Because this is the third day since I coached this team, the victory is due to the players, who are the real heroes.

"... Victory is certainly a victory as a whole, but we can't deny the excellent performance of some players, otherwise it is unfair to them. Like our front-court trio, Kuit, Im and Altitore, they are the best players in this game. Without their excellent performance, we may have won the game, but it is impossible to win so easily and so smoothly.

Altidiore is our engine, the new core of Alkmaar. He is fully capable of gaining a foothold in any Dutch club. Im has comprehensive skills and excellent shooting skills. Without his first record, he didn't know where the game would go. He won the initiative for the whole team.

I would also like to pay special praise to Kuyt. This young man is playing in a professional league for the first time. He is only 17 years old. It is an adventure to start him on such an occasion. If the team's injury was not too serious, I would not have done it. I am actually a conservative coach, but he shocked all of us. Hi, I don't need to say more about his performance. I'm here to tell him that as long as he can maintain his current level in training, I will let him play in the next game..."

Jiang Mu talked about it, mainly to praise his players, and secondly to talk about his coaching philosophy and the problems of the team, without mentioning his credit.

Next is Altedore's speech as a player. The midfielder core, who was reactivated by Jiang Mu from the second team, talked about his views on the game and the changes that have taken place in the team in the past few days.

"This is the team's first victory in two months. It's really unexpected to win so happily and crazy. I think the craziest Alkmaar fans dare not make such a guess. I think there are several reasons why they can score like this: First, morale, coach Jiang Mu came to Alkmaar. The team's morale has been greatly improved. I don't need to say more about what the role of morale has on a team. Everyone is not blind.

The second is luck. Nine goals. If there is no luck, it must be a lies.

The third point is the victory of the details. We are well prepared for this game. Coach Jiang analyzed the characteristics of each opponent's player in detail and sent them to us as a card, so we played well in the game.

The fourth and most important point is that this is the change in the team's playing style. Although Coach Jiang Mu has only coached for three days, we have understood his tactical concept very early. We have studied his playing style as early as the Dutch Cup and the Oriental Dragons. When Coach Jiang was in the youth team, everyone was also eared. It's not right for Coach Jiang to say that the credit goes to the players. Our tactics today are completely Jiang-style tactics. The overall oppression, high-level grabbing, backcourt control of the ball, and the winger in-cutting are the essence of Coach Jiang's tactics. So I think today's victory is actually a tactical victory.

The veteran Artidore's speech aroused applause from reporters. Many reporters originally looked down on Jiang Mu. They thought that his victory after two days of coaching was the light of his predecessor Van Dijk, and now his views on Jiang Mu have completely changed.

Next was the reporter's Q&A session. After the assistant coach of the Zwolle team answered the reporter's two questions, he saw that the reporter was trying to make a fool of himself. He cunningly refused to answer and left despite the host's dissuasion.

There are only Jiang Mu and Artidore at the scene. Artidore is well-known in Dutch football and young. The reporter is not very interested in him. The questions mainly focus on Jiang Mu, who is still mysterious.

"Coach Jiang, did you think about losing before the game?" The first to stand up was Hendry, a reporter from The General News.

"No."

"Why? After all, you have just been in office for two days.

"Because I believe that the victory or defeat of football is more of the embodiment of comprehensive strength, the so-called roundness of football is just an excuse for losers." Jiang Mu said rudely.

"What if you really lose?" Hendry and Jiang Mu had a good relationship and asked mercilessly.

"I apologize to the fans and the club, which shows that my work is not done well. Fortunately, we won." Jiang Mu smiled.

"You have been saying that your football is a winning football. Your style is relatively conservative, but today you play beautifully and openly. Why is that?" The reporter of The Telegraph asked aggressively.

"First of all, I want to make a statement that beauty and victory are not contradictory. In fact, beauty and loss are contradictory in many cases. Second, it is very beautiful to win today, mainly because the opponent's strength is weak, but they don't think they are weak. They want to fight against us at the Dehout Stadium, and it is very good to lose a big loss. It's common."

"Do you have the credit of Coach Van Dijk for this big victory?" The reporter of The Telegraph asked in a hateful way.

"Yes, I think even coach Van Dijk can win four or five goals in this game." Jiang Mu said something.

"Hahaha."

Jiang Mu's false answer attracted bursts of laughter in the press conference hall. Everyone knows that Jiang Mu is saying the opposite. Van Dijk can even lose the deputy monitor of the Netherlands B, and it is a joke to win four or five goals of Zwolle.

Jiang Mu's answer made the reporter of Telegraph embarrassed to ask questions again, and then another reporter stood up. He was a reporter of International Football. Today, many reporters from major media came to the scene.

"Coach Jiang Mu, what is the impact of this big victory on you and the team?"

Jiang Mu said, "Of course, this victory will make my managers, players and fans trust me more. In a collective, trust is priceless."

"I just got the news that Eerste Divisie leader Emmon also won the game. Now there are only six rounds left in the league, and the point difference is still 12 points. Is your goal to upgrade directly to modify it?" Another reporter stood up and asked. His expression and tone were joking, and he obviously didn't care about Jiang Mu's goal.

"No, unless there is no hope, I won't modify the target plan. In addition, there is good news that you don't pay attention to. The second place Campbell team in the table is tied, and we are approaching a goal." Jiang Mu didn't feel that his goal was ridiculous at all, and replied solemnly.

Next, Jiang Mu answered several reporters' questions. His answers aroused the interest of more reporters and all came forward to ask questions, but the time was limited. After a ten-minute delay, the host had to interrupt the enthusiasm of the reporters and announced the end of the press conference.

This is the first time that Jiang Mu attended a press conference as the head coach of a professional team, because he is a Chinese, and many of his words and deeds are very out of line. What's more, he is that he is too young. Many reporters' questions are very tricky and intentionally or unintentionally want to make things difficult Jiang Mu. However, with the experience and wisdom of the two generations, and the help of Chang'e 1, Jiang Mu responded freely, and every witty words were appreciated by the reporters at the scene and the fans who watched the press conference. When he appeared in the professional arena for the first time, Jiang Mu gave the outside world a good impression both inside and outside the field.
