Chapter 95 The curtain of the league begins
(The Dutch League is about to start, and finally get rid of the low-level league. The plot will become refreshing, brothers support)
Due to the World Cup in France, the Dutch League has been postponed for about a week, starting on August 22.
The league is about to start, and the transfer window has not been closed, but Jiang Mu's team has been formed.
For a normal team, maybe this age structure is not reasonable. There are too many young people, too many high school forwards, too few counterattack forwards, and the bench thickness is not enough, but for Jiang Mu, this is not a problem, because he has a magical biointelligent computer. This computer can help him control everything on the court.
After determining the first team lineup, there is still some time before the transfer window is closed. During this period, Jiang Mu cleaned up some players that the team does not need. From the second division to the first division, many people can't adapt to the higher league. They either choose to transfer or rent to other teams.
In fact, this offending thing can be done by the club, but Jiang Mu personally took over the matter, talked to every player to be cleaned up, and told them that they worked hard on the court for Alkmaar, and today they left for Alkmaar as a job. Professional players, they must accept such a reality.
Professional football is cruel. If you are backward, you may not be beaten, but you will definitely be eliminated.
In fact, many players have expected this for a long time. The team attracts people on a large scale, and the money bought will certainly not let them be substitutes. Obviously, the substitutes can only be the strongest veteran players, and the players who do not meet this standard have secretly found the owners or even amateur teams of the second division with the influence of the team's promotion.
After streamlining the team, Jiang Mu found two team mates in the team. The first team mate is Van Bommel. Altidore is approachable, skilled and old. Last season, he led the team to advance to the Dutch League. When the captain was popular, many people thought it would be Martens, but they didn't expect it to be Van Bommel. This newcomer. However, according to Jiang Mu's character of not playing cards according to the card, it is normal for Van Bomel to be the deputy of the team.
The deputy of the second team is Klose. Although Klose is young, he is low-key and loves learning, and has a rigorous and fair Germanic style. It is most appropriate for him to unite and coordinate players other than the Dutch.
Jiang Mu pays close attention to the first team and makes final preparations for the upcoming new season. At the same time, he does not want to ignore the work of the youth team. A season is very long. When everyone is short of manpower, it is not necessarily appropriate to buy and rent alone, and it is not so convenient. At this time, he has to rely on his own youth training camp and the team to attract. Only two-thirds of the funds given by Dirk were spent, and the rest of Jiang Mu suggested investing in the youth training camp to improve the site conditions and buy various new equipment.
After the Bosmann Act, most Dutch clubs are unwilling to train new players as before, because after training, they can't bring huge profits to the team as before. However, with Shilinga, a person next to him, sitting in the manager's position, Jiang Mu's suggestion was easily passed, and the money was invested in youth training. . This investment and Jiang Mu's careful care for the youth training camp have enabled Alkmaar's youth training camp to develop in an all-round way. Five years later, it became one of the top youth training camps in the Netherlands and trained a lot of talents.
There are still about three days left before the first league game. Jiang Mu spent all these days preparing for Sparta Rotterdam, the first opponent in the Dutch League.
Spartan Rotterdam Football Club is one of the earliest clubs in the Netherlands. Sparta Rotterdam was originally founded in 1887, but after a brief dissolution, on April 1, 1888, some former Spartan players formed a team also called Sparta, but this day is April Fool's Day, because This team is actually a cricket team. It was not until July 1888 that the branch of the football team was officially established, the fool became an entertainer, and Dutch football officially kicked off.
Sparta Rotterdam is a pioneer of Dutch football and one of the strongest teams in the early stage. They have won six league championships and three Dutch Cup titles. From the date of establishment to now, they have never been relegated. It can be said to be a veteran strong team.
However, the title of veteran strong team is more respect for Sparta Rotterdam's historical record. Last season, Sparta Rotterdam ranked 13th. It is a team that has no worries about relegation and has no hope of winning the championship and Europe. Their attack power is average. They did not score eight goals in 34 games and only scored one goal in 14 games. , scored 50 goals and conceded 59 goals, which also shows that their defensive ability is also very average.
Due to the limited strength of Sparta Rotterdam and not much transfer funds, they have little big action in the transfer market this summer this season. 1 million Dutch guilder bought the team's No. 3 striker Os from the same city's sworn enemy is the biggest, and another powerful striker is a free transfer. Belgian striker Milas will join hands to charge for Sparta Rotterdam in the new season.
In the face of a midstream and downstream team whose lineup of players has not changed much, Jiang Mu feels very happy. After playing the last season's Spartan game in Rotterdam to Chang'e No. 1 video, the old team is already ** naked and there is no secret in Jiang Mu's eyes.
Jiang Mu reintegrated the results of Chang'e No. 1 analysis, as well as his own ideas and countermeasures, and then conveyed it to his players, and focused on targeted training in the past few days. When Jiang Mu thought it was foolproof, their league with Sparta Rotterdam also began.
There have been five games before, and the two giants, Feyenoord and Eindhoven, won one win and one draw, especially the game of the runner-up Eindhoven, which was a one-to-one at home court match of last season. No one would have thought that Campbell, the promoted horse could block Eindhoven's advance. Attack.
Cambuhr's brave performance reminds people of Alkmaar, who is more brave than them. Last season, when Alkmaar was 12 points behind in seven rounds, he abruptly grabbed the Eerste Divisie championship trophy from Aimon and Cambre. During the summer transfer period, they spent another 20 million Dutch guilders to buy. With eight foreign aids, their strength has greatly increased. It is not too difficult to beat Sparta Rotterdam at home.
This connection is very natural, so two days ago, the media and fans were not very optimistic about Alkmaar's winning at home. After Cambuur's draw with Eindhoven, they immediately became popular. The visiting team Sparta Rotterdam was generally looked down on. Many media believed that Sparta Rotterdam could keep a draw and win, and it was better to lose less.
Head Coach Jane. Evans used to play for Ajax and Eindhoven. After retiring, he worked as an assistant coach in Sparta Rotterdam. A long time ago, Evans was very optimistic about Alkmaar. After seeing the performance of the promoted Cambur, he kept a low profile. He repeatedly stressed that Alkmaar should not be regarded as an ordinary promoted horse. They are a strong Team, although Alkmaar under the leadership of Jiang Mu did not have the opportunity to play against the Dutch team last season, the score of their seven games has fully proved that they are not of the same level as the Dutch team. "We must be highly cautious. We will never regard ourselves as a strong team. One point is also for us. It's a harvest." Evans said.
The sudden optimism of Alkmar made Jiang Mu very helpless. He wanted to catch his opponent off guard, but he didn't expect that Campbell would play a wonderful game, which forced Eindhoven and exposed the strength of this promoted horse.
However, Jiang Mu is not worried. Even if his opponent is on guard, he is also confident to win. The preparations he should be made are abundant, and Alkmaar's strength is stronger than his opponent's. Unless the luck is extremely bad, they will not lose this game.
The game will be held at 2:00 p.m. on August 22. Most of the Dehoute Stadium, which can accommodate 8,000 people in the first hour before the game, is full of fans, and the rest belongs to the visiting team fans.
This is Alkmaar's second time on the stage of the Dutch Bundesliga in the past ten years. The town of 100,000 people has been looking forward to it for two months. Now the whole small city is empty. Those who have tickets go to the spot to support the team, those who do not have tickets go to bars, Internet cafes, squares, or sit at home to support their own team to win.
The stands were full of joyful atmosphere. Red banners fluttered in the stands, accompanied by messy small drum whistles and other musical instruments, Alkmaar fans sang team songs loudly.
Ten minutes before the start of the game, there were many big shots on the court, so the reporter's camera was aimed at the stands from the court from time to time. The mayor of Alkmaar and the Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands were talking cordially. When Jojo, dressed in a silver-gray work suit, was doing a translator, the beautiful big From time to time, he glanced at the field to see if the high-profile Chinese had come out.
It is the honor of Alkmaar to rush into the Dutch League, and the head coach is Jiang Mu, a Chinese, which is an extremely rare honor for Chinese people in football. Therefore, the mayor and Ambassador Tan made an appointment to come to the scene to watch Alkmaar and Jiang Mu's debut.
In the South Stand of Alkmaar's hardcore fans, Alkmaar President Dirk and Sparta Rotterdam President Van York were walking into the stadium together. The two laughed happily, and the topic was naturally inseparable from today's game. The two presidents complimented each other and said that the other's strength was not weak. It was a wonderful game.
Above the mixed channel, Alkmaar's club staff and the players of the second team also came to the scene. Today's game is of great significance. The club specially asked the staff to come to the court as much as possible to cheer for the players. In fact, even if the club doesn't say anything, these staff will come to the court to watch. Yes, is there anyone in Alkmaar who is not a fan of Alkmaar?
The players of the Oriental Dragons also came with a fan group, with a banner that said, "Support Coach Jiang to win the horse to success." A line of strong and powerful imitation of Song characters.
Behind the Oriental Dragons is a group of black-eyed and black-haired Chinese fans. They are mostly international students and local overseas Chinese. It is difficult for Chinese fans to come to the Netherlands to watch football. In the late 1990s, China was still very poor. Unlike ten years later, going abroad became a very simple thing. Few fans have money to go abroad. Watch a ball game.
About five minutes before the game, the scene was full of joy. The referee's assistant referee came out of the mixed channel with players and caddies from both sides. Jiang Mu and Alkmaar's debut was on the verge of breaking out.
