Chapter 51 The Battle of The Hague

Four days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, the 29th round of the Eerste Divisie League kicked off. In the match between the league leader Emmon and Fenlow one day in advance, Emmon won again, and the second place in the league, Campbell also regained his form, winning ero away to feated Dordrecht.

At present, in the table, Alkmar played one round less, 12 points behind the top Emmon team, 4 points behind the second place Cambur. If Alkmaar can't win away in this round, with 5 rounds left in the league, the Emmon team can eliminate Alkmaar out of the championship as long as they win another round. .

However, in such a situation, Jiang Mu still does not give up his set goal. At the press conference before the game, Jiang Mu told the reporter again, "Don't tell me about the victory of Emmon and Campbell. I watch it. I don't think this victory will have any impact on my goal, as long as we still have hope. I hope that even if it is only theoretical, we should stick to it. Unless there is no theoretical hope, we will adjust the goal.

Although this goal seems a little unrealistic, Jiang Mu's goal has aroused the team's desire for victory. Before the game, many players made the determination to pull out this Hague, and the club also encouraged fans to go to The Hague to cheer for their team.

In comparison, The Hague's head coach Linus's desire to win is not as strong as Jiang Mu. He said at a press conference that The Hague's goal is the post-season play-offs, and the current victory is not very important, but Linus also stressed that he never wants to lose to Alkmaar. They may become opponents in the play-offs. Losing now will affect the confidence of the players.

Due to the low desire of The Hague Club to win, on the day of the game, there were not many The Hague fans in the stands. The Hague stadium, which can accommodate 15,000 people, only sat less than a half of the Hague fans wearing yellow and green jerseys, while Alkmaar fans came a lot, more than 2,000 people, although It is much less than the home team, but because of the orderly organization, it is more powerful than the fans in The Hague.

This is Jiang Mu's second professional league. There are not as many gimmicks as the first one, and the game does not matter. There are not many reporters who come to interview, and most of these few reporters are for Jiang Mu and his team.

From Alkmaar to The Hague, to the players warming up at the ADO Hague Stadium, the reporters' cameras kept following Jiang Mu. There is no star coach like Mourinho in this era, but Jiang Mu's performance makes these reporters instinctively feel that he is a person who can make news.

The game started at 4:30 p.m., and the high-spirited Alkmaar started the kick-off. Although this was an away game, it did not have any impact on the Alkmaar players. As soon as the whistle sounded, they rushed to the position in The Hague like a tiger down the mountain.

Alkmaar's bravery scared the head coach of The Hague, Linus. He watched the 9-one game between Alkmaar and Zwolle repeatedly, but he thought that it was mostly accidental to play such a big score, and the strength between the two sides was not as big as the score. In terms of strength alone, Alkmaar and The Hague are very close. He didn't expect that in this close game, Alkmaar would be so brave, or adventurous, that he would be overwhelmed by soldiers, and the three lines directly mentioned the position close to the middle circle.

The players in The Hague have seen Alkmaar's rushing tactics through the video, but it's all on the sidelines. When this high-intensity and fast-paced rush is added to them, the players in The Hague suddenly feel a lot of pressure, the pass is not good, and the stop is not stable. During training, more than a dozen feet passed the ball without losing the ball, and now even two or three feet are robbed or forced to be interrupted.

In the face of Alkmaar's crazy rush, the The Hague team's attack could not be organized at all, and they could only be forced to retreat by Alkmaar. A few minutes later, Alkmaar squeezed the home team near the restricted area, tightening it tighter and tighter like a fishing net.

Now the space for passing the ball is smaller, and it is too close to the goal. The players in The Hague do not dare to pass the ball easily. Their way of attack is forced into a defensive counterattack, and the way of defense becomes a big swing barrel array.

If this is the tactic formulated by The Hague before the game, Alkmaar really has no good way to take The Hague, but the tactics before the Hague game are mainly based on me and fight against Alkmaar. As a result, they were squeezed into their own half after the opening. Their mentality was a little anxious, and because it was not carried out before the game. After intensive defensive training, the player's running position and taking the ball interfere with each other, and the situation is very unfavorable to the Hague team.

In the sixth minute of the game, Artidore pulled the edge and hung the ball into the penalty area. Alkmaar's high striker Benshop jumped high and wanted to head the goal, but The Hague goalkeeper Roy reacted quickly. He attacked early and punched the ball out of Benshop's head.

The ball fell into the midfield and was obtained by Alkmaar midfielder Enko. He saw that the goalkeeper had not yet got up and hung the ball directly to the goal.

Enko's footwork is good, but for the sake of accuracy, his hanging door is a little smaller, and he doesn't fly fast enough. The Hague goalkeeper Roy has got up and is ready to take the ball.

But just before the goalkeeper Roy rushed, a vigorous figure jumped out from between the two Hague players, jumped high, rubbed his head, and the ball passed the ten fingers of the Hague goalkeeper Roy, who was about to take off, and flew into the net.

One to zero!

This sudden change caught everyone off guard, and no one saw where the player rushed out to complete the fatal blow.

"GOALGOALGOAL...ku...I...te..."

It's Kuyt who scored!

God rewards diligence, and Kuit, who has been running at the expense of physical strength, has waited for this opportunity!

After scoring three goals in two games, Kuit was so excited that he almost went crazy. He rushed to Alkmaar's fan stand and made a gliding celebration.

Kuit's action aroused the enthusiasm of the Alkmaar fans. They shouted Kuit's reputation and gave the tsunami-like applause to the 17-year-old teenager.

"It's Kuit again!"

Dirk couldn't help standing up in the box.

Sherringian, who was beside him, said with a smile, "Three goals in two games, God! Jiang Mu has a good vision.

"I have only worked in the youth team for less than two months, and I have found such a talent for me. He should have continued to work in the youth team. Dirk couldn't help laughing.

Assistant coach Linna Zhou is also surprised by Kuite's consecutive goals. With his talent and sense of smell, Kuite is not the top, but he can find a chance and score goals. Now he has to admire Jiang Mu's ability to know people.

Contest

He conceded a goal in the first five minutes, which was very unfavorable for The Hague. Head coach Linus immediately adjusted his tactics and sent someone to guard Kuyt.

Linus is a player and coach. He can completely adjust the team's tactics without changing people without causing chaos. After his adjustment, the Hague team strengthened the encirclement of Alkmaar's midfielder, focusing on Aldídore. Even if you can't tear up the fishing net laid by Jiang Mu, you have to open up the space for your team to pass the ball.

ADO The Hague Stadium itself is not big. It is even narrower when the two teams compete in the whole game. In the eyes of the fans, it seems that not 22 people are playing the game. The court is full of players. The pace of the game is amazingly fast, and the fans who are used to watching the rhythm of the Dutch league are a little dazzled.

Fans and players think that this rhythm is too fast and fierce, but in Jiang Mu's opinion, this rhythm is much worse than that of the later Premier League. The reason why he wants to import the game into this Premier League rhythm is not because Alkmaer has mastered this rhythm, but because the ball is mainly played in the half of The Hague. This kind of Fast-paced confrontation is easy to make mistakes. For Alkmaar, his mistake can only give his opponent a chance to counterattack, and the opponent's mistake is most likely to be a chance for Alkmaar to score a shot.

The Hague coach Linus is on the field as a central defender. Generally speaking, the two positions of defender and goalkeeper are the easiest to observe the overall position, but now because Alkmaar squeezes The Hague so hard, the three lines are almost stuck together, and Linus does not have the opportunity to observe the team's performance.

However, with the coach's keen sense of smell, he believes that such a rhythm and confrontation are unfavorable to his team. He tries his best to slow down the rhythm, but under the pressure of Alkmaar's competition for every goal and does not give the opponent a chance to breathe, they can't slow down at all, and it will only be worse if they don't follow the opponent's rhythm.

Because neither team has received this kind of training in the Premier League ten years later, this kind of fast-paced and strong confrontational mistakes are often a mistake, you just gave the ball to the opponent, and then the opponent made another mistake and returned the ball. This side just grabbed it, did not pass two feet, and then was robbed by the opponent.

This kind of game of making mistakes is really developing in the direction designed by Jiang Mu, because most of the balls are played in the half of the Hague. When Alkmaar makes a mistake, the Hague players can only seize the opportunity to fight back once, while the players in The Hague make mistakes, and Alkmaar directly attack in the front court, threatening more Big.

In the 20th minute of the game, Im and Kuit successfully encircled in the front court. When Im dodged the gap outside the penalty area and wanted to hit the goal, he was pulled down from behind by the defender of The Hague.

The referee awarded a free kick and gave the defender a yellow card.

This free kick is in a good position. It is on the penalty area line. Whether it is a direct shot or a tactical cooperation, it will bring a big blow to the opponent.

The players in The Hague obviously knew that they could not give too many free kicks in this position. They tried their best to find the referee, hoping that the referee could recover their fate, but the referee saw clearly that it was a foul on the defensive side, and he insisted on judging the free kick.

This free kick is still led by Altidiore with the best footwork. Altidiore scored a free kick in the last game.

The free kick was too close to the goal. After kicking the arc ball, there was no room to fall. Just as Artidore was meditating how to kick the ball, Kuit took a note from Jiang Mu on the side of the field, and then hurried over and handed the note to Artidore.

After reading it, Altedore held the note in the palm of his hand and rubbed it into a ball. With a look of surprise, he strode to the penalty point.
