Today is Alkmaar's first league game in the Dutch League. It is not allowed to lose. Once the first game fails, it is likely to cause a big shadow in the minds of the players, which is very unfavorable to the following games. Therefore, Alkmaar's starting lineup today is a little conservative, and it is still the 433 formation of the previous season. , most of the players are local Dutch players who are more able to understand each other's ideas.
After guessing the coins, Sparta Rotterdam, who played away, got the kick-off right.
In the away game, and because of the reputation of the opponent, Sparta Rotterdam did not come up and fight like the Spartans. They played very steadily. The ball fell at the feet of the two strikers, immediately passed back, fell in the backcourt, waited for the opportunity, and was not in a hurry to attack.
At this moment, Alkmar's players are both nervous and excited. Just in the locker room, Jiang Mu only said one sentence, "All the fans in the Netherlands are watching us. We have no choice but to win."
This sentence has fully illustrated Alkmar's current situation. Although they are promoted, they are the most eye-catching team and can even catch up with the traditional top three. If they lose, it is not an exalongation to say that all the Netherlands is watching their jokes except Alkmaar.
"We must win! You can only win!"
Alkmaar's players are on the court with this belief, but the players are not in a hurry to attack. After all, this is the Eerste Divisie, not the Eerste Divisie. Among the 11 starting players, only Tomasson has played in the top league. They have to suppress their strong desire to win and test the water of the first division. The depth.
During pre-match training, Jiang Mu highlighted the biggest shortcomings of Sparta Rotterdam. Their middle road lacked hardness and the left road lacked speed. He let his players attack these two places and treated Sparta Rotterdam in the way of Crystal Palace that day.
So after the opening, Alkmaar stormed the left side of Sparta. If you want to open the gap from this point, the bottom pass will form a strong attack in the middle route Drogba.
Although Sparta Rotterdam is a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Dutch League, they have been in the Dutch League for decades without relegation. Of course, they have their own advantages, that is, they are aware of themselves. Spartan players know where their shortcomings are, and have made the necessary preparations to attack their left side when they see Alkmaar's opening. He We immediately concentrated on the field to assist in defense, so as not to expose their left defenders to the opponent's muzzle.
The analysis of Chang'e-1 is absolutely 100% accurate. The speed of Sparta Rotterdam's left side is one of their shortcomings, but Alkmaar can't break through this short board, because they have invested less troops. They want to play steadily first, and there are few assists in the back defense line. Under the defense of their opponents, they did not have a chance to compete with Sparta Rotterdam No. 5 left-back.
Alkmaar is not in a hurry. From the beginning, they did not plan to eat Sparta Rotterdam. The players and coaches are adapting to the style and style of the Dutch League and judging the current situation in order to make changes to increase attack and defense.
The Dutch team is indeed not comparable to the Dutch League in terms of tactical literacy and technical level. Sparta Rotterdam is just the lower level in the middle and lower reaches. Alkmaar feels uncomfortable when playing. Whether it is passing and cutting cooperation or personal breakthroughs, the opponent can use the card position and assist in defense. Destroy, sometimes even predict the passing route and breakthrough direction of Alkmaar players, destroying or stealing the ball.
When attacking, Sparta Rotterdam plays as cautiously as Alkmaar, but even if they put three or two people in the front court, they can create a certain kill through a reasonable running position and a skilled pass and catch.
Jiang Mu frowned at the sidelines. The game of the Eerste Divisie is different from that of the Eerste Divisie. The tactical literacy is not at the same level. It seems that it takes a lot of energy and time to win the opponent.
Evans, the head coach of Sparta Rotterdam, was also secretly surprised. His pre-match judgment was correct. Alkmaar's strength should not be underestimated. If he adopted offensive tactics at the beginning and did not pay attention to his opponent, the former Eerste Divisie team, I'm afraid he has suffered a loss now.
The head coaches of the two teams are secretly shocked and have a new understanding of their opponents. Of course, the players on the field know more deeply, so they are also more cautious in attack. The full-backs are not easy to attack. After the attack, they often pass the ball out and run back for fear of being hit behind. No one wants to lose a game, let alone lose because of themselves. It's better to have no achievements than to do it. This is the psychology of 22 people on the field now.
If a game is to be divided by stages, 15 minutes is the best time, because the 45 minutes of the half can be divided into three 15 minutes, and the first 15 minutes are the 15 minutes for the two teams to test each other.
Fifteen minutes later, the two head coaches have not made a clear statement that they are sitting in the coach's seat as steady as Taishan, and the players have moved their bodies, the attack and confrontation have become fierce, and the rhythm of the game is unconsciously accelerated.
If the person who wants to score the goal most in this game, it must be Drogba.
From a Ligue 2 player to a Dutch player with a weekly salary of $7,000, he only took him a month, which gave him a sense of dream. Now the team has rented him a house and asked him to take his pregnant wife to live with him. The fans are full of trust in him. Every time he trains, the fans will come to add Oil, he is very satisfied with his current job, and he is also glad that he made a choice at that time. Otherwise, he may still be working in Ligue 2 now, waiting for the arrival of another wise boss.
Under the domination of this psychology, Drogba has been playing very depressed in the first 15 minutes, because he couldn't find the situation of beating his opponent in the warm-up match. The fierce robbery was only carried out at half-time, and he became a monkey who was teased in the front court.
When Drogba was dead, he also negotiated with Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu did not agree with the premature attack. He also hoped that the players would adapt to the rhythm and playing style of the Dutch League, and then find an opportunity to attack.
Fifteen minutes later, with the acceleration of the pace of the game, Drogba's role became more and more obvious. He was a fulcrum in the front court, a fort, and the balls of long and short passes greeted him.
In the 17th minute of the game, the ball from Alkmaar's backcourt found Drogba again. Drogba leaned against the opponent's central defender. His body was very strong. Before receiving the ball, he leaned back hard, knocked off part of the opponent, and then hit the ball with his foot. Adjust to the angle suitable for shooting, turn around and shoot.
This is a shot in one shot. The defenders didn't have time to intercept at all. Even if they had time, they wouldn't do it. Drogba's shot was definitely a magic pen, and they didn't react.
The Spartan goalkeeper didn't expect Drogba to shoot like this. Seeing the ball going straight to the left, he jumped without thinking and blocked the ball out of the penalty area.
Alkmaar's corner kick.
Alkmaar's good header players and tough players all come to the penalty area. If the opponent doesn't like physical confrontation, the more he has to pull the opponent down the physical confrontation and defeat the opponent's softness with his own hard.
AltÃdore took this corner kick.
The ball he made a beautiful arc and flew to the penalty area.
In the penalty area, everyone is grabbing the landing point of the ball.
Sparta Rotterdam is really a little soft. In the physical confrontation, Alkmaar easily has the upper hand. Drogba squeezed out the players on his side and occupied a favorable position. Looking at the ball flying to him, Drogba was overjoyed and jumped up to head the goal, but when he jumped up, he felt like a fall. With a few stones, the height of his jump was not enough, and the ball brushed her scalp and flew back.
There are still Alkmaar's outlaws players at the back point, and Kuite also found a position at the back point. No matter how the opponent tried to pull and kick, Kuite still stood still. When the ball flew, he jumped up and hit the ball into the lower right corner of the ball.
It was too late for the goalkeeper of Sparta Rotterdam to save with his hand. At the critical moment, he magically blocked the ball with his foot.
Next is still the corner kick.
Altedore passed a low and flat ball this time, looking for the front point of Tomasson, Tomasson's alert header back, and the ball flew to the middle.
In this way to play the tactics of playing the front point, Alkmaar repeatedly won in the Eerste Divisie, but it was not enough in front of Sparta Rotterdam in the Eerste Divisie. When the Spartan players rubbed behind Tomasson, they immediately paid close attention to the back point and the middle. Finally, the ball was hit by Drogba, but Drogba Under the opponent's guard, he couldn't exert force at all, and the ball was pushed out of the bottom line by Drogba.
The fans of Sparta Rotterdam finally breathed a sigh of relief. The attack just now was really fierce, and Sparta Rotterdam was not good at physical confrontation. As a result, it was almost scored by the opponent.
Jiang Mu really watched it on the sidelines. His players performed very well in this attack. If there is any luck, it is the fans and players of Sparta Rotterdam who are crying now.
This is a good time to attack! Jiang Mu quickly made up his mind, and the opponent's strength and ability were almost explored. Now there is no need to be polite.
"All-round attack! All three lines are pressed forward by 20 meters!"
Jiang Mu strode to the sidelines and gave orders to the players to attack.
At this time, Sparta Rotterdam's head coach Evans also happened to be on the sidelines. He was shouting to the players to strengthen the staring in the defense.
After commanding, the two head coaches looked at each other and turned back to the coach's seat as if they saw the air.
