Chapter 97 Opportunists
Tomasson's goal marked a pause for the first half. The demoralized Spartak Rotterdam was unable to organize a counterattack. Under Alkmaar's continuous attack, they could only defend passively.
After scoring two goals, Alkmaar was relaxed and the accuracy of the shot was reduced, creating several opportunities to seize. After a corner attack was relieved by Sparta Rotterdam, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game.
Spartak's players in Rotterdam quickly left the stadium and walked into the mixing channel. Only Alkmaar's players were still interacting with the fans on the court.
In addition to the first ten minutes of the first half, Alkmaar played very well. It was like a storm on the attack, and did not give the opponent many opportunities in defense. They may not play perfectly enough, but it is also valuable to be able to withstand the pressure and play at such a level in the first Dutch League. .
Returning to the locker room, Jiang Mu gave everyone a bear hug and commented on their best performance in the game. Jiang Mu's very humane praise made every player happy and had a sense of achievement. Even players who didn't have much performance felt that they were one of the team's heroes, not playing sauce. Oily.
"Everyone played well in the first half and executed the tactical order well. Maybe now you will think, are we too careful? The opponent can't do it, but don't think so. Don't despise any opponent. If we are scored by such an experienced opponent, you think we will do this later. Is it easy to fight? Football is war. War must seize the initiative and let the opponent follow our rhythm, instead of us adapting to the rhythm of our opponents.
Jiang Mu began to pour a basin of cold water on the players first. From the end of last season to now, Alkmaar has been invincible. Although the psychology of pride and arrogance is still not seen, it will definitely grow secretly. Recently, Jiang Mu has been emphasizing the idea of guarding arrogance and impatience in the process of communicating with the players.
"... On the surface of the first half, it seems that we won by catching the opponent's weakness, but in fact this is not the case, because no matter how weak the opponent's left side is, it can't be penetrated by an attack. Our victory comes from our hard work and active running, which gives us more ball rights and can fight against the opponent. The weakness is a continuous blow, so Sparta Rotterdam finally collapsed. If we want to continue to score in the second half, or ensure that the opponent will not turn over, we must continue to maintain the high pressure in the first half and prevent them from giving them too many offensive opportunities. Well, the following specific questions will be arranged by Coach Lin Na Zhou. "
Lin Nazhou took out a notebook, which recorded the results of his negotiations with Jiang Mu and the assistant coaches in the first half.
"Cough, let me talk about the problems in the first half and the things we need to pay attention to in the second half..."
Lin Na Zhou briefly summarized some problems in the first half, and then focused on how the players played in the second half. It is mainly about the ball right and how to prevent the opponent from playing behind. A lot has been said in these ordinary training. This time, it is just a combination of the opponent's targeted talk, and the specific effect needs to be shown by the players in the game.
Alkmaar opened the ball in the second half.
Tomerson and Drogba, standing in the middle circle, passed the ball to the backfield. They also ran forward quickly, ready to suppress the opponent's defense. In the second half, their task was still to suppress the opponent in their half.
In the first half, they lost two goals by their opponents. In the second half, Sparta Rotterdam was unwilling to continue to defend. After Alkmaar's kick-off, they played anti-offside tactics.
Although Alkmaar's center Drogba is explosive, his turning and speed are not the top striker, especially not good at walking between offside and offside like Inzaghi. He relies on his strong body and the defender to fight a bloody road from the crowd, or hold it under the guard's bag. The ball creates opportunities for teammates.
The anti-offside tactics made Alkmaar a little uncomfortable. Less than ten minutes in the second half, Drogba fell into the opponent's offside trap twice, which made Alkmaar a little frustrated.
Jiang Mu sneered when he saw this scene, and immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted to Drogba, "Didil, you and Tomasson change seats."
Drogba heard Jiang Mu's shout, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and made an OK gesture to Jiang Mu.
Next, the opportunist striker Tomasson came to the middle, while center Drogba came to the side road where Tomasson was.
Alkmaar did not change people. This kind of position exchange on the front line did not cause too much vigilance from Sparta Rotterdam. They still put a large premise on the defense line, playing anti-offside tactics, putting pressure on Alkmaar's half, and want to hold more of the ball in their own hands.
Tomasson is different from Drogba. He was known as "Inzaghi more than Inzaghi" in the later period, and his technical essence is the word "grab". Most of the time, he always likes to stand on the same horizontal line as the opponent's defender. At the moment when his side assists the player to pass the ball, he judges the trajectory and landing point of the opponent's defender. He starts quickly at the first time and scores with simple and practical actions. It is rare that he can always hold the starting point. This Of course, Tomasson in the period is not as strong as later, but this characteristic has already been shown.
Spartan players in Rotterdam know something about Tomasson, but they are not that profound, and even if they know it, it is not of much use. You can't ignore a game for 90 minutes. This kind of player has a lot of patience. They can not perform at all in 89 minutes of a game, but when he plays Now in front of the camera, it is often the time to seal the throat with a sword.
After Tomasson came to the middle, Artidore seized the opportunity to pass two balls to Tomasson, but one was intercepted by the opponent's defender, and the other pass. Tomason started a little late and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
Sparta played much more tenaciously in the second half than in the first half, but Alkmaar, who occupied the home advantage, still had the advantage of ball control, and the ball was more controlled at the feet of Alkmaar players.
With possession of the ball, there are more offensive opportunities.
In the sixty-fifth minute of the game, Drogba took the ball. His speed was difficult to get rid of the opponent's full-back to form a breakthrough, so he cut from the side to the middle and wanted to take the opportunity to hit the door.
Tomasson in the middle road walks to the side road to make room for Drogba to move.
Seeing that Drogba, the Warcraft, was walking towards the middle road, the central defender who felt the danger immediately came out. He wanted to attack Drogba with the front guard who followed Drogba.
Seeing that there was not much chance of shooting and breaking through, Drogba passed the ball to Artidore, who asked for the ball.
Artidore found Tomasson's running characteristics through the passing error of the first two feet. When Drogba passed the ball, he pulled the ball and turned around, turned 360 degrees, shook off the defensive player who saved, and then pushed his arch and sent a straight pass, hitting behind the Sparta Rotterdam defender.
Tomasson, who was running to the side, seemed to expect Artidore's pass in advance. Almost at the same time as Artidore passed the ball, he suddenly half turned forward and got rid of the central defender who was defending him. At this time, the ball also rolled in front of him. Tomason chased the ball to the penalty area and was in the goalkeeper. The ball was poked before hitting the ball, and the ball rolled into the net from under the goalkeeper's crotch.
From passing to shooting, Tomasson touched the ball, and the ball went in. At this time, the defenders of Sparta Rotterdam also raised their hands to signal Tomasson's offside. They couldn't imagine how Tomasson could complete the breakthrough at this moment. The Danes's speed was not so fast.
3:0!
Tomasson got up and stumbled to Artidore, who passed the ball to him, but he was robbed by Drogba halfway. Andy Lau from Africa hugged Tomasson and picked up the tall Dane.
At this time, please check that your teammates have also arrived. They joined this carnival, raised the twice-degree Tomasson, threw it into the sky, and vented their happiness to their heart's content.
"Tomason!"
"Tomason!"
The fans in the stands cheered the names of the Danes. They waved the fan scarves in their hands in the air, and the whole court turned into a sea of red and white scarves.
"Three to zero! Alkmaar continued their journey of victory. In the game led by Jiang Mu, Alkmaar only had less than three goals, but now the game has just passed 65 minutes, and Alkmaar has scored three more goals. Later, Sparta Rotterdam will definitely work hard, so that Alkmaar has more chances. Let's wait and see if they score more goals.
The commentator gave a lot of data, including not only the number of goals and goal time of Jiang Mu's team last season, but also the goal data of the warm-up match. Although there is a computer now, the commentator has indeed done a deep study of Alkmaar, a promoted horse.
Alkmaar's former captain Mahir praised Jiang Mu's on-the-spot adaptability and said, "General young coaches lack the on-the-spot adaptability, but Chinese Jiang is obviously different. His on-the-spot adaptability is extremely strong, and he dares to change the position. It's really a magic pen to change the position of Tomasson and Drogba. This shows his insight into the game and his ability to know people well.
Of course, Jiang Mu can't see or hear Maher's comments. If he hears that he is so happy that he can't close his mouth, what kind of insight and knowing people. With " Chang'e No. 1, he can make the most reasonable analysis of the game in two seconds and come up with the best response plan, and all he needs to do is a decision.
Sparta Rotterdam's head coach Evans's fists have been clenched and he is sweating. He has been looking forward to a miracle. His goalkeeper Dale can save the team again, because 3-0 can basically cut off all the hopes of the team's equalization, but the goalkeeper Dale was unable to save Sparta Rotterdam, and the goal was still scored. Evans' hand was weakly loosened and sighed. The game must be lost. He still had to make the last effort. In the first game, in the face of the promotion, even if he lost, he had to score a goal. So Evans motioned his striker Richard to prepare for the activity, and he was going to play the last fight of the four strikers.
