Chapter 121 Another Great War
The success of the competition has made Jiang Mu's commercial value continue to increase. Because the development of the broadcast company's mobile phone has not yet been put on the market, they didn't finalize the endorsement contract with Jiang Mu until half a month later. As a result, Jiang Mu's value has increased a lot compared with the original negotiated price, and the total price of commercial advertising endorsements in the next two years. The value reached 5 million yuan.
This is Jiang Mu's first business endorsement contract. His advertising income exceeds his annual salary, which marks that Jiang Mu has officially become a so-called idol coach in later generations.
After Jiang Mu's advertisement was launched in China, Alkmaar's fans in the mainland sky soared. Not only did domestic fans come to watch the game during the game, but also the guests who came to the Netherlands specially came to the stadium to watch Alkmaar's training and took away Jiang Mu's group photo and signature by the way.
The increase of overseas fans and the booming league results have made Alkmaar build a new stadium more and more urgent. If Dirk wanted to build a new stadium for convenience and face, then now it is completely considering commercial interests.
According to the current growth rate of Alkmaar's fans, even if 200 million yuan is invested in the new stadium and 20,000 people in the new stadium, the cost can be recovered by ticket revenue alone for more than five years.
From another perspective, if Alkmaar can play the UEFA Champions League next year, their current Dehout Stadium is not up to the standards of European competitions. If UEFA asks them to play at home of other clubs, Alkmaar will lose a lot.
After six rounds, Dirk is no worries about Alkmaar's future. He told reporters that he will raise funds to build a new stadium at the end of the year. The stadium will have the same name as his company and is planned to be put into use in two years.
The increase of overseas fans and the preparation of the new stadium have excited Alkmaar fans, but for them, the most important thing is still the league results, which is the source of their joy and the guarantee of Alkmaar's future development. If the results are not guaranteed, everything else is empty talk.
For Jiang Mu, the league results are the top priority. Although Ajax and Eindhoven are now left behind and it will take at least three games to catch up, Feyenoord is unusually strong. The same six-game winning streak is catching up. The seventh round of the league is the dragon and tiger fight between Alkmaar and Eindhoven. It's an opportunity for Eindhoven, Ajax and Feyenoord. Ajax started so poorly that he could only wait for his opponent to make mistakes. Feyenoord hoped that his old opponent could kill the dark horse that had been pressing on his head.
For Eindhoven, one of the traditional top three, this is the best opportunity and the greatest danger. If they can defeat Alkmaar in this game, they can not only narrow the score gap to 8 points, but also are likely to improve the team's morale and change the previous decline.
There were many reasons why Eindhoven was in trouble before. Like Ajax, they were hit by the Bosman Act. Although Eindhoven was not afraid of money with the sponsorship of Philips, there were few people in the Netherlands, and it was impossible to retain big-name stars. When the players reached the big names, they didn't care much about money. Because more or less is a number to them.
The golden generation of Ajax disintegrated. Eindhoven also left Zenden, Stam and other five generals last year. The head coach Edvocart, who has been coaching for five years, resigned and left. During the summer transfer, Eindhoven once contacted many coaches, but in the end there was none. Signed, I had to let the former handsome Bobbi. Robson is a firefighter.
Born on February 18, 1933 in Newcastle, England, Bobbi Robson is a typical British gentleman, a real football master, and one of the most prestigious head coaches in European football. The veteran has taught major teams in European football, including Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Porto and Barcelona. In 1981, he led Ipswich to win the League Cup. In 1982, he was appointed as the head coach of the England national team. In 1986, he led England to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, but unfortunately lost 1-2 to Argentina. After the 1990 World Cup, he left the national team and took over Eindhoven. Under Robson's leadership, Eindhoven won the Dutch First Division twice and trained a legendary star like Ronaldo.
The change of the head coach, the departure of the main players, and the running-in of the new players made Eindhoven turbulent, and eventually led to the unfavorable start, but the coach Bobbi. Robson is not a simple figure. After experiencing the initial pains, he has gradually stabilized the situation, and Eindhoven's performance has gradually improved.
In fact, in terms of players alone, the current Eindhoven is not much worse than Ajax. The future king of the penalty area, Fanny has emerged. For three consecutive years, the team's best scorer Nylis is not old. In the back position, although there are many rumors about Ding Hai Shen Needle Coku and Barcelona, he is a professional player. Because of Hoveen, he will do his best one day.
Now for Robson, the most important thing is integration. It takes time for new recruits to arrive. For 65-year-old Robson, there are no strong winds and waves. He is very calm to face all these difficulties. According to the reporter, Bobbi Robson's training courses are relatively easy now. There are not many coaches who like to use devil training, hard practice and other tricks.
Although Robson is experienced, Jiang Mu is not afraid of him. The British are famous for his stubborn and conservative. Jiang Mu, who pays attention to combat mobility and flexibility, has many ways to restrain him. What worries Jiang Mu is several key players in Eindhoven. According to Chang'e 1's analysis of the last 10 games, Eindhoven's players The state gradually improves, and the degree of tacit understanding between each other increases, such as Koku and Van Nischer. If Robson adopts conservative tactics to deal with Alkmaar, it will be a headache for Jiang Mu, because Coku in Eindhoven is very difficult to deal with.
As the absolute main force of the Dutch national team in the 1998 World Cup in France, Koaku's superb skills and never giving up leadership have always been praised by the world. Someone once laughed and said that in the Dutch team, with Koku, Van der Sar did not have to stand in front of the goal line, but could hide behind the net and practice photography with the camera reporter.
Although it is a joke, the importance of Koko as the team's midfielder is self-evident. In Eindhoven, Koko's position is even more respected. If it weren't for the rumors that he would go to Barcelona this season, even without a head coach, Eindhoven would not have played so badly.
Now with the progress of the league, Koko has returned to his form, and the fans continue to trust and support Koku, which gives Eindhoven a foundation for a reincarnation.
Of course, Jiang Mu is never afraid of Eindhoven. He can easily win Ajax away from home. Is he still afraid of dealing with Eindhoven at home?
However, Jiang Mu doesn't want to fight with Robson. The English gentleman is 65 years old, almost three times Jiang Mu's age. From the perspective of respecting the old and loving the young, Jiang Mu will not compete with a half-baked old man first, unless the old gentleman takes the initiative to provoke him.
Robson is a gentleman. Of course, he will not provoke Jiang Mu. On the contrary, Robson specially praised Jiang Mu before the game. The Englishman said, "Because of the introduction of Fanny, I noticed Chinese ginger, who is a very magical coach. Please forgive me for using the word magic, because in addition to this word I don't know which one to use. He is very young. I thought he was a player, but his tactical innovation ability is amazing. I admit that I'm afraid I can't even catch up with one percent of him at my age.
Successfully digging up Fannie is Robson's proud work. In Robson's view, Fannie is the second alien Ronaldo. Jiang Mu also hoped to bring Helenfin's Fannie to Alkmaar. Although Van Nis chose the giant Eindhoven, Robson's crazy throwing of 6.5 million US dollars is also Jiang Mu. An important reason for having to retreat.
Although he defeated Jiang Mu in the transfer market, Robson cherished Jiang Mu and thought that Jiang Mu had the same ability to know people as him, so he paid attention to unknown juniors like Jiang Mu.
Since Robson has invested in Xiantao, Jiang Mu also reported it. He said, "Although Alkmaar is facing a battle with Eindhoven, Robson's head coach is one of my most respected coaches. He has won brilliant achievements abroad and has extraordinary influence at home. He has changed the long pass of English football. Rough skills and tactics are the real founders of technical football. I will win this game to pay tribute to my predecessors.
Jiang Mu and Robson laughed happily, but the players of Eindhoven were not convinced by Jiang Mu and Alkmaar, which is a common feature of many children. Even if they are depressed, they look down on the upstarts.
Koku, the backbone of the defense, said that Alkmaar's winning streak will not last. Eindhoven will beat Alkmaar away. "In the past ten years, no team other than Eindhoven, Feyenoord and Ajax have won the championship. I'm afraid this year will be no exception. I think we are in better and better every day. This We will win the game away from home, although the game process may be very difficult.
Fanny, the striker, scored 5 goals in 7 rounds, second only to Alkmaar's Tomasson's 7 goals, and tied with Drogba and Ajax's Avilaze. He also expressed his confidence and desire to defeat Alkmaar.
Fanny said: "There is no better game than defeating the leader. We are now 11 points behind Alkmaar. In order to keep the hope of winning the championship, we must not lose this game. It is best to win, because even a draw will let Feyenoord open a bigger gap for us. Feyenoord's opponent William II is not strong. They will definitely win.
In the face of the challenge of Van Nisang and Koku, Jiang Mu did not fight back tit-for-tat. When the reporter asked, he just said, "We are the leader, so even the amateur team wants to beat us, but we haven't lost a game so far."
Jiang Mu expressed restraint, but his players were not polite. Drogba shouted that he wanted to score four goals like Eindhoven and Ajax. Tomasson shouted that he wanted to do a hat-trick. Even goalkeeper Silva said that he wanted to win a clean sheet to help Tomarson maintain the first place in the scorer list.
Although the battle between Alkmaar and Eindhoven is not as strong as the smell of gunpowder as the last Ajax, the battle between the rich and the dark horse is also particularly eye-catching, which is the focus of the attention of the whole Netherlands.
