Chapter 177 Thousands of Favorites

He went to bed in the morning and visited his disciples in the afternoon. In the evening, Jiang Mu began to browse the news of yesterday's game.

Feyenoord is very tenacious. With basically no hope of winning the championship, they still completed the strangulation of William II, solidifying their second place in the table.

Although the league championship is already dominant, there is still suspense about the Champions League seat. This season, there are three places in the Dutch League, and Alkmaar occupies one. Feyenoord will compete for the remaining two places with Eindhoven, William II and Ajax. Although Feyenoord's advantage is obvious, there is no guarantee that there will be none. The possibility of being blown away by other teams, they must continue to fight. Compared with the league champion, the Champions League seat is more affordable and has greater influence.

Ajax has completely fallen under internal and external troubles. The season is not over yet. Olson has decided to be dismissed, and his record is also terrible. He can only win a place in the UEFA Cup next season.

Among the relegated teams, Breda, Sparta Rotterdam and Valvik are still fighting. Campbell is basically out of the whirlpool after defeating Breda in this round. As long as he gets another point in the next game, he can safely go ashore.

The whole Dutch media praised Alkmaar, who won the championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

In the Dutch League, the title is basically held by the "traditional top three" Ajax, Feyenoord and Eindhoven. For decades, only Alkmaar broke the top three monopoly in 1981 and succeeded in pulling out his teeth. This time, it is still Alkmaar that broke the monopoly.

In this regard, The Telegraph commented that after 31 rounds, Alkmaar scored 79 points, 12 points ahead of the second-ranked Feyenoord team. With only three rounds left in the league, Alkmaar's lead is unshakable and winning the championship is a fore.

This season, the promoted Alkmaar team led by Chinese coach Jiang Mu made a high-profile start, but then relied on flexible tactics and stable performance to create a record of 24 consecutive wins. So far, 31 rounds have been unbeaten, establishing a huge lead early, and the final victory has been expected.

If this is a famous coach, this record can be called brilliant, but if this is the first time to coach a professional team, a young Chinese coach who is only 26 years old, then this record cannot be described as brilliant. This is a miracle in the history of football and an unprecedented achievement..."

The front page headline of "Daily Football" is: "31 rounds unbeaten, Alkmaar won the championship", "For this league Lions prize, Alkmaar has been waiting for 18 years. Their last glorious moment was in 1981, when they won the Dutch championship and the Dutch Cup in one fell swoop. .

This is a great miracle, because last season, Alkmaar was still playing in the Eerste Divisie. The most famous star in their team is Tomasson, who can't play the main force in Newcastle. Their head coach is Jiang Mu, who was only 25 years old at that time, but a year later, they became the champion of the Dutch League, the Dutch Cup. He also reached the finals, which is likely to reproduce the glory of the double champion of that year.

Head coach Jiang Mu's ability to find new players and flexible tactics is the key to Alkmaar's success. After taking office last year, Jiang Mu excavated and created a group of new people. The star Altidore is only a player in the Eerste Divisie. At present, he is chased by the three giants in the Eerste Divisie. The top scorer Tomarson can't play the main force in Newcastle United, but this season he temporarily topped the scorer list with 32 league goals under Van Gaal. Van Bommel, who was dug from Fortunaxi, has also become the main force on the back of the team, and now many rich families have robbed him. Success models include Drogba and Kuit. A year ago, they were still playing in the second division, and now they are all champions in the Eerste Divisie, and Drogba has also been summoned by the national team.

UEFA's official website also expressed congratulations: when Real Madrid was still chasing Barcelona desperately, when Lazio and AC Milan took turns to seize the highest point of Serie A, when Marseille and Bordeaux staged double dragons, when Manchester United and Chelsea besieged Arsenal's dream of defending the title. At that time, the title of the Dutch league had been settled. Alkmaar won the second Dutch lion plate in history three rounds ahead of schedule. After copying the miracle of Kaiserslautern's promotion to win the championship, they copied the miracle of AC Milan's unbeaten victory in the 9192 season, which can be called a miracle in the miracle.

If the previous reports of Alkmaar by the European media have been scattered, then after Alkmaar won 31 unbeaten championships as a promoted horse, the media in European countries immediately reported the news in large length, because everyone knows that the team will appear in Europe next year. In the championship, he will be against the giants of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Milan and other opponents of the five major leagues.

Britain's more traditional and authoritative Times reported: "After Bayern won the Bundesliga championship four rounds in advance, the Dutch League also decided a new king. After 18 years, Alkmaar won the Dutch championship again, and they also reached the Dutch Cup final.

In this season, Alkmaar has set a number of new records in a row. They became the first promoted horse to win the Dutch League. They broke the record of 22 consecutive wins in Eindhoven and set a new record of 28 unbeaten games in Ajax. They scored 118 goals, setting a new season goal record in the Dutch League. The average age of their main force is only 21 years and 152 days, which is the youngest in the winning team. Their head coach is less than 26 years old. He is the youngest champion coach and the first Chinese coach to win the championship. Next season, they will represent the Dutch League in the UEFA Champions League. Whether this big dark horse can win the honor for the Dutch League in Europe is what all fans want to know.

Spain's World Sports News said: "According to the tradition of the Dutch League, one or two of the top three will fall, and there must be another rise. However, this season, Ajax and Eindhoven have fallen, but Feyenoord has not been able to rise. Instead of them to rule the Dutch League is the promoted Alkmaar, which It was something that no one expected before the start of the season.

Judging from the configuration of this young promoted horse, they really don't look like a team that won the championship. The players are too young, and the head coach is even younger than the oldest player. He is also a Chinese. There is no star. The biggest star is Tomarson, who can't play the main force in the Premier League, and the best player in the Dutch League last year. Artidore, but this inexperienced and unrelated promoted horse has created a football myth. Yes, the miracle can no longer describe them. This is a myth.

Pro-Real Madrid's Marca commented: "Alkmaar interprets what youth is, what dreams are, what is self-confidence, and what is impossible. Such a small town with a population of only 100,000 has done a miracle that makes Real Madrid feel ashamed. We must follow Alkmaar as an example, from Barcelona. He won the league championship.

Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport said: "Alkma, where Gattuso and Tony are located, won the Dutch championship. This is not a mainstream league and there are no big stars, but it is a great miracle that can break through the siege of the top three and win the league championship with the power of a promoted horse.

In this youth storm, Gattuso is indispensable in the back position. He has been favored by the Italian coach and is likely to be called into the national team in the next warm-up match against England. It is not hopeless to participate in the Euro 2000. Tony is a little worse, but in several key battles, Tony has goals and assists. He is one of the heroes who won the championship, but if he wants to enter the national team, he still needs to fight for the main position.

Germany's Bild said that Alkmaar's victory represents a new tactical direction. The traditional Dutch style of play is vulnerable in front of Alkmaar. Ajax, Feyenoord and Eindhoven are scored four goals per game by Alkmaar on average, which can never be described as luck. This is By strength.

The Germans are indispensable for the team that won the championship. Klose is proud in Alkmaar. He didn't play much in the striker position, but he scored a lot. After the core Altidore was injured, he came to the position of the front waist. As a result, he played like a fish in water and showed strong adaptability. Now Bayern and Leverkusen are all It is intended to bring back the German player who is good at headers and dribbles.

France's Team News commented: "The Chinese coach won the Dutch championship?! This is not a joke. It is a fact that Jiang Mu, a 25-year-old Chinese, led a well-known promoted horse to win the Dutch championship in the 98 to 99 season. They also set a league record of 24 consecutive wins and 28 unbeaten. Next season, they will show their strong attack power and flexible tactics in Europe.

After Jiang Mu made such achievements, some famous football players in the Netherlands and Europe also expressed their appreciation for Jiang Mu and marveled at Alkmaar.

The old Michels said: "Jiang Mu respects the Dutch football tradition and the feelings of the fans. He plays a pleasing football, hoping that Alkmaar will continue to work hard to help the Dutch League win the Champions League again.

Cruyff said, "I'm very happy that Jiang Mu did not become a utilitarian as he said. He was not conservative and played offensive football, averaging nearly four per game. This is an incredible number, which even Alkmaar could not do in his heyday.

Beckenbauer said: I have never seen a coach with an excellent talent like Jiang Mu. He is a real coach genius.

The news that Jiang Mu led Alkmaar to win the championship spread to the mainland of the Celestial Empire in the fastest time. The media and fans of the whole Celestial Empire were boiling, with streets and alleys, bars and Internet cafes, friends' daily gatherings, or at work. The frequency of the word Jiang Mu is even higher than that of entering the customs and the World Cup.

Every Chinese fan is proud of Jiang Mu and thinks that Jiang Mu has won glory for Chinese football in Europe. Even Jiang Mu is considered to be competing for Chinese men. Yan Shichang, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, also publicly congratulated Jiang Mu on leading Alkmaar to win the championship, hoping that Jiang Mu could lead the Chinese team to the World Cup after accumulating experience in Europe.

Jiang Mu earns not only eyeballs and fame in China. Many merchants have also come to Jiang Mu, hoping that Jiang Mu will endorse their products. The broadcasting and communication company also wants to hold on to the big tree. The advertising manager personally went to the Netherlands to increase the endorsement fee for Jiang Mu. For a while, Jiang Mu became popular in China.
