Chapter 100 A Pseudo-strong team
(Sorry, it's later, there is another update)
Alkmaar's opponent in the second round of the league is Vidis, the third place in the Dutch League last season. If Sparta Rotterdam is a pseudo-old strong team, then Vidis is a real old strong team. Although they have only won the Dutch Cup three times and have not won the league championship, they are also famous. They can't be compared with the three giants in the Dutch League, but they are ranked in the top five in the table most of the season, and they are definitely a strong team.
In addition to his strong overall strength, Vidis also has Nicos, a powerful killer in the Dutch League. In the last season, the Greek Nicos scored 34 goals. He not only became the best scorer in the Dutch League, but also led the European Golden Boot Award. He is the most terrible player in Vidis, and he also got the league last season. The third greatest meritorious official.
Of course, Nikos is terrible, and he is also the key character Jiang Mu should focus on. Although there is no Nikos in Jiang Mu's memory, any player can score 34 goals and get European golden boots in a season, then he will never be a simple character. For such a character, Jiang Mu certainly needs to study. To the bones.
However, Zhang Mu's eyes were not only on one Nichols. It was not his own credit that Nichols was able to score so many goals. In the analysis report of Chang'e 1, Jiang Mu found that it was Vidys' midfielder Vandel who passed the most for Nicos. Brom.
Vandel. Brom is not obvious, but he is the assist king of Vidis. He has good passing and control and is the core of the midfield. If Brom is not restrained, the defense of Nikos alone may not achieve the desired effect.
In addition to the above two awesome people who have been proved by the Dutch League, Vidis's foreign aid Amoa is also a strong striker this year. He is a Ghanaian and has strong physical fitness and gabrick ability. In the last game, Vidis's defeat of Roda JC 1-0 was the only goal scored by Amoa.
Jiang Mu emphasized the focus on the defense of these three players, encouraging the players not to be afraid, and continue to take advantage of the victory to win the second league victory.
Alkmaar took the lead in the first round**. In the second round, the three major teams of the Dutch League did not encounter strong teams. The battle between Alkmaar and Vidis undoubtedly became the focus of the second round, and the Dutch media also focused the report on the two teams.
The Dutch Telegraph said, "This game is a real test of Alkmaar's character. Since Vidis returned to the Dutch League ten years ago, they have never fallen to the sixth place in the table. Last season, they won the third place, a stable lineup, a good overall, a top kill. Hand, Vidis is the nemesis of almost all dark horses. Jiang Mu's team is afraid to make greater efforts to win his second Dutch victory.
When Analyzing Alkmaar's starting lineup, The Telegraph pointed out that because Vidis has the striker Nicos, who is best at scoring goals in the Dutch League, Jiang Mu, who advocates victory football, may be safe to arrange local players to play, and in the position of the back, he will send two defensive players. After staying steady, he will wait for the opportunity to fight back. Hit.
However, reporter Hendry also believes that there is no other possibility that Alkmaar swept his opponent 5:0 in the last round. In this round, they played at home again. It is hard to guarantee that Alkmaar is not confident and fights against Vidis.
The pre-match analysis of "International Football" said: "Alkmaar and Vidis can be said to be good talents when they meet their opponents. One is an old team, the other is a new dark horse, one is a veteran, and the other is vigorous. The goal of both teams this season is to strive for the championship, two A team has won a good start in the last round. If any team can continue to win in this round, which team can continue to stay in the first group. Although the league is a long-distance race, if it is thrown away at the beginning, it will be passive in the later stage. Neither side will be willing to lose in this game. Maybe a draw is the best result.
The famous Dutch star Koku once played for both Alkmaar and Vidis. In an interview in the media, he said that the victory or defeat of the game was unpredictable, because Alkmaar was too young and the state of young people was the most unstable. The morale in the last game was like a rainbow, but the next game may be a mess, even in the first and second half. It may show completely different technical and tactical standards.
Cocu finally carefully predicted the outcome of today's game. Cocu said, "I'm a fan of both Alkmaar and Vidis, but I'm more optimistic about Alkmaar in this game, because I think Vidis's head coach Boss is not as cunning and intelligent as Jiang Mu. No one knows this Chinese. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? Three backs, winger cut inside, striker crossover, high position forced to grab... This Chinese can come up with some unexpected tactics every time and win the game when his opponent is caught off guard.
At present, Alkmaar is united and actively fights against the strong enemy Vidis. The main players in the team have expressed their confidence in winning the game.
"We will win without a doubt. Our greatest advantage is the home game. We have a group of hardcore fans." Artidore, the core of the midfielder, said so.
"Victory, we will definitely win. As long as we continue to win, we can continue to stay at the top of the table." Team deputy Van Bommel expressed his desire for victory.
Forward Drogba said, "I don't know if I can start. We have many excellent strikers, but I am very confident in victory. We have a harmonious team and a wise head coach."
After the main defender Martens was transferred back to the first team by Jiang Mu from the second team, he has been performing very well. He said that he and his teammates will keep Nicos clean. "Nichols is very strong, but we are not bad. It is our responsibility to stop the opponent's striker from scoring. We will not make him comfortable in 90 minutes."
As the soul of the team, coach Jiang Mu announced the starting lineup at the press conference before the war:
Golkeeper: Silva
Four-back: left-back No. 4 Suleiman, central back No. 2 Martens and No. 3 Morris, right-back No. 5 Blongkamp,
Three midfielders No. 8 Van Bommel, No. 10 Altinore, No. 7 Gattuso,
The three strikers are: No. 9 Drogba, No. 11 Tomasson, No. 18 Kuite
This lineup is not much different from the last game. It only used Gattuso to exchange Enko. In the last game, Alkmaar defeated Sparta Rotterdam. It is impossible to change any coach in this game at will, which is not much different from the speculation of the outside world.
After announcing the starting lineup, Jiang Mu talked about the upcoming game.
In the first game, Ajax beat Roda JC 2:0. He scored four goals in two games and lost one goal. It's not unexpected. Ajax has the ability to beat any team. I'm not worried about the next game with Ajax now. I only care about our current opponents now. ——Vidis.
The opponent is a strong team. They were the third place last season. There are killers like Nichols, and we are just a promoted horse. Although we won a big victory in the first game, I don't think we should exaggerate our victory. In the Dutch League, we are still just a newcomer. We have not achieved any success. Performance, what we have to do now is to play every game seriously.
Vidis's head coach, Bos, has a steady and down-to-earth coaching style, and his own personality is the same. Before the game, he performed very low-keyly. "Winning the championship is of course our goal, but winning the championship does not mean that the championship has to win any game. In this game, we are by no means popular to win. The opponent is not simple. Whoever despises them will be unlucky. I don't think Jiang Mu said that their goal is to win the championship. It's a joke. They have this strength. Our goal in this game is to win the draw.
The team's killer, Nichols, the winner of the European Golden Boot Award last season, said, "I have a hunch that I'm going to score a goal. I wasted two great opportunities in the first game. This time, the opponent is very strong. If I can't seize the opportunity, I will lose. This time I will never do this again. I will seize all the opportunities I can seize."
Van der Brom, the team's midfield core, said: "This time we are in an away game. The DeHout Stadium is very small and can only accommodate thousands of people. This is a big difficulty, because we are not used to such a small ball game, nor are we used to a game with almost no fans, but we will overcome him. God will Bless us to defeat the team led by the Chinese.
The game was held on Saturday night, August 29th. There were two more games before. William II beat Fortuna Sittard 1-0 at home. Feyenoord, one of the three giants, entered the state too slowly and lost to Heerenveen at home. There were two draws in two games. If he loses again, this season's fee It is difficult for Yenod to return to the championship.
Feyenoord's coldness made Vidis a little shocked. In the locker room before the start of the game, head coach Boss once again stressed the need to maintain a balance between attack and defense and ensure the stability of the defense line.
"The opponent's physical fitness is very good. They can maintain nearly 90 minutes of rushing. We must maintain a high degree of caution to prevent them from being robbed at the front of the penalty area and in the midfield. Although their coach claims to be pragmatism, in actual games, their attack is crazier than anyone else. I don't think defense alone will guarantee it. If we don't lose the ball, we must put pressure on the opponent's defense, so that we can get a good result.
In the locker room of the home team, Alkmaar's head coach Jiang Mu is emphasizing the attack.
"... The opponent is more experienced and likes to fight with the opponent in the midfield, so that you can give you a fatal blow in drowsiness. In other words, their willingness to win is not strong enough. They always have the idea that if they can win, they can win, and if they can't win, they will be equal. And we are different. In our home court, we will take him. Guys, what's wrong with the third place? I've led the amateur team to fight against Ajax, and I don't see what they can do to us. Use your attack to kill these timid pseudo-strong teams. This is my advice and order to you.
In fact, Zhang Mu, through his research on Vidis, he determined that this was a pseudo-strong team like Sparta Rotterdam. They didn't win the championship because they didn't have the mentality and aura of a strong team and couldn't win the game that they had to win, so he congratulated at a press conference. Wei paralyzed them, but in private, he was ready to break the opponent's psychological defense with the most violent attack.
