Chapter 72 A good goalkeeper is equivalent to half a team
There are less than five minutes left in the game, but Alkmaar's offensive is more fierce. Under full suppression, the focus is to take Cambure's left side as a breakthrough, and never leave Rohov a chance to breathe.
Rohoff carries a yellow card. Even if Van Bronte does not explain, other Cambre players dare not let him face the opponent's breakthrough alone. Their current strength is weaker than Alkmaar. If Rohov gets another yellow card, Cambler will not turn over in this game.
Camble's goal was caught by Alkmaar and had to protect it desperately. If there were not enough personnel, they could only transfer people from the attacking players in the front court. In this way, their attack power was further weakened, and they could only be passively beaten without the power to fight back.
Looking at the attack waves of Alkmaar, Cambure's players are like a boat that may capsized at any time. The Cambure fans in the stands dare not even breathe and stare at the court. They hope that the last five minutes will pass quickly. Cambull can no longer lose the ball, one to zero. I hope to equalize, and a draw will ensure that Cambuhr will win the championship. If he loses another goal, Cambull will basically have no hope. Alkmaar can't give Cambuhr so many opportunities.
Cambure's players are also well aware of this truth. They try their best to delay the time and want to consume these five minutes, while Alkmaar competes against time and does not let go of a chance to score a goal. If any fan has just turned on the TV, or has just come to the stadium, he must have thought that Cambler is leading, and Alkmaar has fallen. After.
Campbell is strong and determined to defend. Alkmaar really can't find a good way to break the goal for a moment. He can only make a long shot from the periphery, hoping to force the opponent out of the penalty area, or win another big prize, score a goal, and lock the victory.
The time passed minute by minute, and it was time to make up for the injury in a blink of an eye. The time was one minute.
At this time, Campbell got a chance to open the ball, and Nali kicked the ball to the whole court. He thought that by the time he played back, the first half of the game was over.
However, God did not follow people's wishes. Nari's foot was so strong that he drove to the front of Alkmaar's penalty area. Alkmaar's heavy gunner defender Morris hit him up and pulled it back.
The ball is high and far away, flying straight to the penalty area of Campbell. The ball flies too high. In the process of falling, the players on both sides have squeezed to the landing point. More than a dozen people competed for the best position in the penalty area. The goalkeeper Nali stood aside and stared but couldn't squeeze through.
The ball was pushed by many Cambur players, but there were so many people that he couldn't exert his strength at all. The ball was pushed and didn't even go out of the penalty area.
The ball was continuously contested for the top, and finally fell on the turf in the penalty area.
This time, the Cambure people panicked. The threat of the ball in the air was not big, and the header was not strong at all. Moreover, the goalkeeper's vision was wide and he could see it at a glance, but it was different when he fell to the ground. The penalty area was full of people and legs. No one could see it clearly except for whose feet, and it was easy to exert force with his feet. The goalkeeper can't guard against it at all.
The ball fell in front of Im. Im, who had scored 27 goals before, was overjoyed. As long as he scored another goal, his best scorer was almost stable, and he shot without thinking.
Before Im shot, I saw a gap between himself and the goal, but when the ball left his foot, he found that the gap had disappeared. The ball hit a fluffy thigh and didn't know where to bounce.
Cambur's core Bramer felt that there was a ball under his feet. He didn't have time to look down. There were people around him. He kicked out with his feeling. Bramer was very smart. He did not kick to the top of the arc of the penalty area, but to one side to avoid being blocked and bounce back to the goal.
However, in the penalty area with so many people, all the cleverness is self-made. The ball is an irregular sport. The ball hits the legs of the two players, refracts twice, or bounces to the goal.
This time it was goalkeeper Nali who saved Campbell. The moment the ball rolled into the goal, he fell to the ground and blocked the ball again with his foot.
The ball rolled in front of Kuyt again. The young man in the fishing village shot furiously with his calf, and the ball hit his teammate's leg and bounced obliquely to the goal.
It turned out that when the ball tossed repeatedly on the ground in the penalty area, the fans couldn't see it at all. They were anxious and didn't know what happened. When the ball bounced this time, everyone saw it, and suddenly there was a sound of exclamation and surprise.
"Is Campbell going to lose the ball at the last minute!? If they lose another goal, their championship will not be played... Oh! It's Nali again! Nali is so powerful! He jumped up from the ground in the shortest time and held the ball out of the goal beam..."
At the most dangerous time, Cambure's player broke out, and Nali jumped up from the ground again like a divine helper, holding the ball out of the crossbar with one hand.
"Alas!"
The Alkmal people in the game sighed with regret. If the ball is scored, there will be no suspense. Now that it is thrown out by Nari, there will be a fierce battle in the second half.
The referee did not give Alkmall a chance to serve a corner kick. As soon as the stoppage time arrived, he blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game.
Boss Dirk, manager Nelson and Sherringia all came to the locker room of the home team. Dirk's face was with a rare smile and excitement. He was very proud that the team played to this extent. At the beginning of Jiang Mu's appointment, he had no hope of direct promotion, and even could not even advance in the end. The results of the level were psychologically prepared, so he decided to choose Jiang Mu at the end of the league. However, Jiang Mu gave him the biggest surprise. After 12 points behind and only seven rounds left, he completed a big reversal.
"I thank you on behalf of the club and personally. You have performed so well. I hope you can expand the score in the second half and hold the victory firmly."
Dirke was full of spring breeze and shook hands with the players one by one. When he arrived in front of Jiang Mu, he stretched out his arms and hugged Jiang Mu and said, "Thank you, Jiang, do you have any requirements? Just say it."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Yes, buy me more players for the summer transfer."
Dirk agreed and said, "This is no problem at all. As long as you can enter the Dutch League, I will give you 20 million Dutch guilders transfer funds."
"Okay, give me this transfer fund and I'll get you a place in the Champions League." Jiang Mu was overjoyed when he heard this. In 1998, the transfer fund of 20 million yuan was already terrible, and many rich families would not be much higher than this price.
As soon as Dirk heard it, he suddenly came up and said, "If you can get me a Champions League seat, I will give you another 10 million Dutch guilder."
Jiang Mu laughed and said, "The transfer fund of 30 million Dutch guilders can hit the championship, but I'm not sure."
What Jiang Mu said was very plain, just like pulling a family, but the others in the locker room sounded like thunder. They wanted to win the championship before they rose to the Dutch League. This tone was too big.
Dirk patted Jiang Mu on the shoulder and said, "I'm very happy for the Champions League. Work hard."
Dirk, Shringer and Nelson did not stay in the locker room for a long time. The players had to rest, and Jiang Mu had to make tactical arrangements. They were very interesting and did not wait for Jiang Mu to be chased.
After the boss and manager left, Jiang Mu said, "Don't care what the club thinks and says. We have our own goals and rhythm. In the second half of the game, we must expand the score before the last 15 minutes to ensure that our fate is in our own hands.
Cambre's left side is their fatal injury. Lochoff got a yellow card. If he is not replaced, he will beat him to death. In the position of Lochov's left-back position, Cambre does not have a good candidate. No matter which one is weak, our breakthrough is this.
However, Van Bronte will definitely take precautions, so we finally open the gap or not the left side, but the middle and the right side. This is not important. Everyone knows which point of the enemy hurts the most..."
After Jiang Mu arranged the tactics, he played music to let the players do the final relaxation and waited for the life-and-death duel in the second half.
The visiting team's locker room,
Van Bronte analyzed their goal from the players on the tactical blackboard and severely criticized Rohoff, who made a big mistake in defense.
Van Bronte did not completely attribute the mistake to Lochoff alone. The team's loss of the ball is by no means someone's fault. If the whole team can put enough pressure on Alkmaar's defense, Rohoff will not be under so much pressure, and it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake in the first half.
"We played badly in the first half, and we were suppressed by our opponents in all aspects. Think about it. Is this still the original Camble? Have we played half of the original level? If not, what's the reason?" Van Bronte asked the players three consecutive questions to make the players think.
Bramer, as the core of the team, must cooperate with the coach at this time. He said, "Our main defender is absent. The opponent has been attacking our left side at this point, which makes us tired of dealing with it. This is the main reason why we are passive in the first half. The reason why our opponent is too fierce is forced to play well. Because."
Van Bronte snorted and said, "Which team has no weaknesses, as good as Real Madrid and Juventus. Of course, Alkmaar also has weaknesses. Why can they attack our weaknesses, but we can't attack their weaknesses? The confrontation between strong teams can't be defended by defense alone. We must attack the weaknesses of our opponents and make them exhausted, so that we can take the initiative..."
The players don't talk. They all understand what Van Bront said, but it's not so easy to attack the opponent's weakness. Alkmaar occupies the advantage of the home court and is forced to grab fiercely. Campbell's time to control the ball is very short, and he wants to have many opportunities to attack.
Van Bronte saw the thoughts of the players and said, "We should be more able to grab and attack more than our opponents. Now we have no way out. We must score goals. Only by scoring can we get the league championship and the opportunity to advance directly. Alkmaar's weakness is that they In the back line, they pressed too far forward, and there was a large area of blank in the back. They scored a lot of goals in front of them, but they also conceded a lot of goals, just to see if we can grasp their weaknesses.
Next, Van Bronte analyzed and explained the problems in Alkmaar in the first half to the players in detail to prepare for the counterattack in the second half.
