Chapter 157 Finally a mistake

In fact, it is no wonder that the outside world is unpredictable. In fact, even Jiang Mu can't think about it.

The position of the central defender is too **. The choice of the striker is a matter of whether to score or not, while the choice of the defender is a matter of losing the ball. If you don't score, you may not lose, but you will definitely lose if you lose.

In training, Lucio and Ismail performed well, and there must be mistakes. The cooperation with teammates and goalkeepers is often unexpected, but this is only in training. Training is not a competition. Training is not much psychological pressure, just like walking on the road and walking on a single-plank bridge on a cliff. These are completely two concepts.

If it is against a weak brigade, Jiang Mu will also take risks. All two newcomers are sent to suppress their opponents with attack. For Ajax, he really needs to be cautious. He must prevent Ajax from fighting under adversity, and there is a great risk of being bitten by a mad dog.

Finally, the day before the start of the game, Jiang Mu made up his mind and sent Ismail, who had experienced Ligue 1 and League One, and put Lucio on the bench.

Before announcing the news, Jiang Mu called Lucio to his office.

"Lucio, I have to tell you that you can't start tomorrow." Jiang Mu truthfully kept his promise and told the players the truth. He was proficient in six languages and had no problem communicating with Lucio alone.

"I know that from today's training, I understand your choice, and I respect your choice." An understanding expression appeared on Lucio's ugly face.

"Thank you for your understanding. I hope you can understand another point. You can't start because your ability is too poor, but because you don't have enough experience and can't communicate with your teammates in language. If you want to start as soon as possible, you must pass the language test well. I can help you find a translator, but the translation will not be all the time. Follow you all the time." Jiang Mu poured a glass of water for Lucio.

"I will try my best to learn Dutch." Lucio Road.

"No, you don't have to learn Dutch. It's enough for you to learn English well. There are Germans, French and Italians in the team. You can talk in English instead of Dutch with a smaller scope of application. You have great potential, and you don't have money, no women, no handsome appearance, which can help you become a A great star, I believe you, your future is not just in the Netherlands. Jiang Mu patted Lucio on the shoulder.

Lucio was a little surprised, because no coach would say to a player that your future may not be here. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your encouragement. I will try my best to improve myself, live up to the hopes of you and the club, and let myself help the team win as quickly as possible."

"Okay, take a long-term view. Our goal is not only the Dutch champion. Without you and Ismail, I can also get it. You are preparing for next year's Champions League. That's a big stage. Go ahead and work hard. This is my football tactics and concept. The following is a detailed training plan. Take it back and have a look. Maybe it will help you.

Jiang Mu gave Lucio three sheets of A4 paper with dense Portuguese on them. This is what he wrote in the past three days. This is a targeted training for the characteristics of Lucio. If Lucio has a high understanding, even if the language cannot be improved quickly, this three pieces of paper can also help him integrate into the ball as soon as possible. Team, football itself is also a language. In Alkmaar, players in five or six languages play the same kind of football.

"Thank you, coach, I'm back."

"Goodbye. Good luck. Maybe you will play as a substitute.

Lucio saluted Jiang Mu and left the office. When he left, he gently closed the door, showing that there was a delicate heart under his rough appearance.

Ajax's internal affairs almost collapsed, and the head coach Olson was also exposed to leave next season. For such a domestic and diplomatic worm, Jiang Mu was not ready to stimulate them again, because it may have stimulated their ferocity and made them work together and play beyond the level, and Olson did not. The mood provoked Jiang Mu. Compared with the fierce war of words in the first half, the special harmony before this war, both sides paid attention to their own team and ignored each other.

At the end of the game, Jiang Mu announced the team's starting line-up. At this time, it was less than six hours before the game. In this game, Alkmaar played 433 in defense, and the goalkeeper will be a steady Silva. The four defenders are: full-backs Suleiman and Klonkamp, central defenders Ismail and Enger. The three midfielders are Gattuso, Van Bommel and Klose, and the three forwards are Drogba, Tomasson and Kuyt.

There is basically no change in the full-back. In the eye-catching central defender combination, Jiang Mu chose the combination of Ismail and Enger slightly conservatively, instead of Ismail and Hovs imagined by the outside world, let alone Ismail and Lucio as thought by radical fans.

The guard line is unstable, and the goalkeeper can only be Silva. Although Cesar's performance in the game was good and occasionally had a wonderful performance, he was still a little early at this time.

The change is the most in the midfield. When Artiddore came on the stage, Van Bomel was mainly defensive, and the secondary job was to attack. Now, whether he is mainly offensive or defensive is in Jiang Mu's mind. He can't fully understand Jiang Mu's thoughts when he sees the starting line-up. Klose has played in the front waist or midfielder in the previous game. Polish Germans with fast speed and delicate footwork can organize or score goals. The changes are also extremely rich, and they can change their faces at any time.

There is no change in the front line. Almost everyone can imagine it before the game, but in fact, after Klose's retreat, there is no secret on the forward line.

Ajax did not change much after the DePaul brothers left. The impact of their transfer on Ajax was psychological, not purely physical.

In this game, Ajax's most attention is of course the candidate for their central defender position. After the departure of the DePaul brothers, it has little impact on the midfield, but Frank. De Boer's central defender position can be replaced by no one. Before the game, the popular Keefer was too young, only 19 years old. It is a question of Olson's courage to use him.

However, when Olson announced his starting lineup, it surprised everyone, including Jiang Mu. Before the game, Jiang Mu believed through research that Keefer was very likely to play, because his ability had reached the level of playing in the Dutch League. At this time, the Dutch League was not what it used to be, far from 9596. In this season, the quality of the game can't be compared with the five major leagues, but I didn't expect Olsen to give up Keefer and play a combination of three defenders. The formation has become a retro 343. This formation has never been played by the Danes.

But if you think about it, you can understand that it is reasonable for Olson to choose to play 343 at this moment, because now Ajax is 20 points behind Alkmaar. If you want to seize a little hope of winning the championship, you can only win. At this time, Alkmaar's central defender is unstable and attacking. Football exerts pressure on the opponent's back line, which is much better than a steady defense.

Except for the changes in the central defender, Ajax has not changed much in other positions. The goalkeeper is still the giraffe van der Sar, three-backs: Milchiot, Blind, Tobiason; four midfielders: Wittg, Litmanning, Olisehe, Laudrup; Laudrup withdrew to the midfield.

Three strikers: Dani, Avilaze, Babangida, Portuguese winger Dani finally got the opportunity to start due to his excellent performance some time ago.

The first leg of the two teams was played at the home of Ajax, and the game returned to Alkmaar's Dehout Stadium.

Alkmaar, who played at home, was very excited after the opening. Ajax, who actively pressed forward and played the same offensive football, formed a fierce offensive.

The points are 20 points behind. Olson's adventurous lineup wants to suppress Alkmaar with attack. It is also a combination of the traditional combination of sharp bottom and infiltration in the middle. When the other side pressed on, the long pass of the opponent's side players by Brind and Litmanin was inserted and uploaded by the high speed of the two wingers behind them, which was the means to dominate Europe in the Van Gaal era.

But now Ajax not only has low morale, but also lacks internal unity, and has reduced the center position by more than one level. Although Avillaze is known as a cheetah, his strength can't be compared with Cruyvit, and the side Dani and Babangida can't compete with Ovimas and Finidi. The attack did not put enough pressure on Alkmaar.

Although Alkmaar has no newcomers on the striker line, there is something new in his position. Drogba came to the side, while Tomasson came to the position of center. This is Jiang Mu's temporary adjustment. When he saw that his opponent had three defenders, he immediately decided to use the grab-point center Tomasson to play the veteran Blind. Roba strongly beats the opponent's defender Mirchiot. As long as Suleiman and Kuite can draw with Tobiason, Alkmaar will have the upper hand on the sidelines.

In the middle, Ajax must have the upper hand in the attack. Witzger, Littmanning, Olyseh, Lauderup VS Gattuso, Van Bomel and Klose. Ajax has the absolute upper hand in terms of number and quality.

However, seeing that the middle road could not beat the opponent technically and was outnumbered, Jiang Mu was very smart to let the middle road recycle, only stretching out two side arms to hit the opponent.

One of the two sides has the upper hand in the middle, and the other is more active on the side. In the first 20 minutes, there was no winner. In the 25th minute of the game, Ajax was oppressed in the middle. Wittsger hit the goal after three people in a row in the middle. The ball was thrown in front of Laudrup by Silva.

Lauderup's beautiful crotch leaked the ball to deceive Mangfu Gattuso and suddenly stepped forward. Central defender Ismail and Enge made a mistake. When Ismail saw that Enger was not moving, he went up by himself. In fact, Enger was a slowing down. As a result, the two of them grabbed it at the same time, while the cunning Lawdrup passed the ball ghostly. It is.

The ball passed from the middle of Enge and Ismail. Georgian Avilaze followed in time and scored in the penalty area, and the score became 1:0.

Seeing the conceded ball, Jiang Mu was so angry that he scolded his mother, because he arranged it before the game, Enge grabbed it, and Ismail broke it, but the two of them went up at the same time. Now that the score is behind, Ajax is definitely a life-saving straw for Ajax in trouble, which will give this sick tiger confidence. With confidence and unity, the following games will be more difficult to play.
