Chapter 218 Strange Soldiers and Strange Array

Trondheim is the first capital of Norway. Successive kings have been crowned here. Trondheim means coronation, and Herm means home, which together it means coronation land. Now Trondheim is Norway's third largest city and technology center. It is known as Norway's Silicon Valley, and Trondheim is also a university city. Here In a small city with a population of 140,000, there is one college student for every five people.

Alkmaar's second Champions League game was played in this ancient city. In order to prepare for this game, Alkmaar flew to Trondheim one day in advance. They were accompanied by more than 4,000 Dutch fans, which are difficult to count fans from other countries.

Alkmaar has been very popular recently, but his influence is mainly in the Chinese circle in the Netherlands and Europe. There are not many Chinese in Scandinavia. When Jiang Mu led the team to arrive, except for more than 100 Chinese and Dutch in Norway, as well as Norwegian journalists, there were no other fans and reporters to pick up. At this time, Rosenberg's influence can't be compared with that of Dortmund. At this time, European journalists are going to interview the competition of the giants, and no one will run to Norway in the Arctic Circle.

Alkmaar is also happy to enjoy the cleanliness. Sitting on the bus, he easily browses the small city. The quaint cobblestone alleys and log-based buildings are slightly rough, but they have the ancient and majestic Nordic city, coupled with the legendary Trondheim Bay, everything reminds you that you have entered. In the dusty memory of the Vikings.

Xiao Luo listened to the music, sat next to Jiang Mu, and said with a smile, "Coach, it doesn't seem to be cold in September. I thought the temperature would be below zero?"

"I haven't seen it. It is located at the intersection of the Ned River and the Trondheim Fjord, and the temperature is similar to that of the Netherlands." Jiang Mu has never been to Norway. This is a temporary homework to collect Rosenberg's information before the game.

Norwegian defender Riese said, "Fortunately, it's Trondheim, not Trondheim, otherwise we will really go to the Arctic Circle to play. The sun should have set now, but here everyone has to get used to the day when there is no sunrise in the afternoon."

Jiang Mu said: "These objective conditions are very important, but they are not decisive factors. The last time we came here and played a warm-up match with Rosenborg, which is a very favorable factor for us. We still need to use our strength to conquer our opponents. You know very well whether they play well or not. We must work 100% of our efforts to win this game.

Drogba came over and said, "It seems that Boa Vista is the weakest in this group. If we win Rosenberg, we will almost have a chance."

"Nonsense." Jiang Mu said sternly, "Don't have this idea. No one in this group is weaker. If you don't really fight, no one knows how the other party is."

Drogba was scolded for scratching his head and stopped talking.

Jiang Mu continued: "Our goal is ambitious and our strength is weak. If we want to achieve our goal, we must play every opponent as a knockout match, so that we can go further. Status and so on. This is the power of the big team. We just win all the balls we should win.

While the crowd was talking, the car drove to the hotel they had booked. The players got out of the car, entered the hotel, took a break to have lunch, and then went to Rosenborg's home stadium, Legendahl for adaptive training.

The afternoon training is mainly to practice defending high-altitude balls. In the face of a team with an average height of more than eight centimeters, Alkmaar's biggest difficulty is air defense. As long as they can prevent the aerial bombardment of Norwegians, they are very likely to win. Norwegians can't Compared with them in the ground attack, the main reason why they lost in the summer warm-up match was that they did not prevent Rosenberg's high-altitude bombing.

Because of the presence of Norwegian international Riise, Alkmaar's training has attracted many Norwegian fans and some camp reporters. However, Alkmaar did not hide his training intentions. The match with Rosenberg should be very transparent. Everyone knows his advantages and his opponents. What are the strengths?

Although Norwegian fans are tall and big, they are very well-behaved. They are not as football hooligans like British Turkey, and they are more civilized than Dutch fans. Some of the beautiful movements of little Rocloselucio and others have also attracted a lot of applause.

At the press conference before the game, Jiang Mu took Riser to attend.

At the meeting, in the face of the Norwegian media saying that he would regain the victory in the warm-up match, Jiang Mu once again cautiously affirmed the difficulty of the game, but did not admit that he would lose. He said, "We are the Dutch champions, and Rosenberg is the 7th champions. The level of the two teams is on the same level. It is possible for us to win or lose. It's acceptable to win or draw, as long as you don't lose. In the summer warm-up match, we played a warm-up match with Rosenberg. We lost 1:3. That game was a great reference factor for both of us, because we didn't know that we would be in a group with each other at that time, but I believe that the score will not appear in this game.

In the last game against Borussia Dortmund, Norwegian defender Riesel killed the Bundesliga giants with a long shot, which also opened the door for him to the national team. In this game against the motherland, he still maintained his position of supporting his own team.

"Rosenborg is a great club. Although Norwegian Super League is not a famous league, I know that the Norwegian League is not easy to play. It is not easy to win the championship here for seven consecutive years. It will definitely be difficult to play with them. The summer warm-up match also proves this point, but this I believe that we will win the game, and I hope to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League with Rosenberg.

If Rosenberg represents the Norwegian League, then head coach Nils Ahn Egan represents the whole Rosenberg.

When Rosenberg won the Norwegian Super League for the first time in 1967, Ahn Egen was a member of the team. Four years later, he guided the team to achieve the double championship of the league and the cup in 1971. During the third coaching of Rosenberg, he dragged Rosenberg, who was in the second league at that time, back to the top; 19 After his return in 1988, he commanded Rosenberg to win the double championship twice. The last time was in 1992, when he led the team to seven consecutive championships.

Aen Egan also shocked the big European teams. In December 1996, he led the team to defeat Italian AC Milan at San Siro Stadium, and then advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. A year later, his team defeated La Liga giant Real Madrid 2-0. They have played eight UEFA Champions League group matches for seven consecutive seasons, and with their achievements in the Champions League and huge bonuses, they have consolidated Rosenberg's dominance in the domestic league.

Such a coach must be confident and strong. Aen Egan is such a person. He said at the press conference before the game: "Thank you for your blessings, and thank you for Coach Jiang's praise. Compared with the Dutch League, the reputation and strength are much smaller, but in Lai Kendall, we have the confidence to win. I support Reese's statement that we and Alkmaar can qualify in Group C, but we will win this game.

Both teams are full of confidence in their own teams. Ahn Egan believes that they are bound to win. Jiang Mu believes that they are at least undefeated, and the betting company's statement is obviously more objective, because it is related to the money in their pockets. In the market they opened for this game, William Hill Data Company won or lost. The initial offer was 2.75, 3.20, 2.60. Alkmaar's winning losses were greatly increased, and Rosenberg's winning losses were significantly lower. William Hill's choice represents the attitude of most data companies, that is, he is optimistic about Rosenborg's victory. After all, Alkmaar is a new player in the Champions League, and Rosenberg is an old world or a home game.

The game will be held at 8:45 p.m. local time.

Because Alkmaar's legendary record has been spread in Europe in the past year, and there are also their balloon stars in this Dutch team. The fans are enthusiastic about this game, and the Leckendal, which can accommodate 28,000 people, is overcrowded, and there are many fans outside who can't buy tickets.

In this game, Jiang Mu formed a 433 formation. The goalkeeper Silva, the four defenders were Rise, Lucio, Ismail, Cloncamp, the three midfielders were Gattuso, Van Bommel and Enco, and the three strikers were Ronaldinho, Tomasson and Couette.

Before the start of the game, when the list of starters was reported, everyone thought that Ronaldinho was the front midfielder, but at the beginning of the real game, people were surprised to find that Ronaldinho was actually standing on the right winger.

This really surprised everyone.

The on-site commentator shook his head repeatedly and said, "Jiang Mu's platoon is really bold. It's really incredible. Among the coaches I've seen, this Chinese coach is the only one who is magical. Other coaches are magical in their records. Chinese Jiang's platoon is also very magical. He is simply a magician, Ronald. It's really unexpected that Dinho went to play the right winger, and Tomasson became the center and Drogba was the substitute. Maybe it was also Jiang Mu's hope to use Nordic players to play against the Nordic defender. After all, Drogba is not familiar with the Norwegian defender, and his body does not take advantage of the Norwegian defender.

Ahn Egan stood on the sidelines and shook his head. Looking at Jiang Mu, his eyes changed, because the Chinese made him confused. Three defensive midfielders and Ronaldinho played the winger, which was beyond his expectation. Many of his pre-match arrangements were used in the open space. Now he can only see the opponent's arrangement. How's it going?

After the game began, Ronaldinho showed a shocking tactical understanding ability. In a position he had never played before, he gave full play to his speed and technology. The whole right side became his world. Clone Camp used to be the same important main attacker as the right avant-back, but now he has become For soy sauce, you just need to open the gap for Xiao Luo and make a wall.

The Norwegian players are a little confused, because the coach put all the heavy soldiers in the middle in order to defend Ronaldinho, and the side road has always been wide. Jiang Mu put the technical speed and spirituality of Ronaldo on the side road just in Rosenborg's crotch. After the opening, Alk Mal quickly gained the upper hand with Ronaldinho's performance on the sidelines.
