Chapter 223 Close Events
Alkmaar defeated Rosenberg 3:1 away. In another game in the group, Dortmund finally showed the strength of his former Champions League champion, beating Portugal's strong team Boa Vista 3-1 at home. After two rounds, Alkmaar ranked at the top of the list with 6 points, Rosenberg and Dortmund scored three points, Dortmund scored more goals than Rosenberg, Rosenberg ranked third, and Boa Vista ranked fourth.
The other two teams that the Netherlands participated in the Champions League, Eindhoven drew 1:1 with Valencia at home, and Feyenoord lost 2:3 away to the French champion Bordeaux. He lost all two games and wanted to qualify from the group unless he could make a record against the future.
In the first round, the giant team was repeatedly bombarded, and in the second round, it became unsurprising. In the last round, Manchester United, which was tied by Dinamo Zagreb, beat Austria's Graz Storm 3-1, and Real Madrid was tied by Olympiacos in the first round. This time, they slaughtered Morde of the Norwegian Super League 4:1, making their cold hope fall. Empty.
Others, such as Milan, Barcelona and Arsenal, have won one after another. Although Bayern was tied by the Glasgow Rangers, the Super League is by no means a weak team, which is not a surprise.
In the first two rounds of the UEFA Champions League, there are only four teams that have won two consecutive victories. One is Alkmaar, and the other three teams are Barcelona, Marseille and Porto. La Liga giants Barcelona needless to say, Porto and Marseille are also regulars of the Champions League. The most surprising team is Alkmaar. The combat effectiveness and stability have aroused the interest of the European media.
After the game, Germany's Kicker said: "Among the 32 teams, Alkmaar has the most dark horse potential. They have strong stability in both the league and the Champions League, and have won all six games. Now no one knows whether they can continue their magic in the Champions League, but It's almost certain that there is almost no doubt that they will qualify from this group.
Spain's World Sports News commented: "Alkmaar has become a team that has won two consecutive victories like Barcelona. They have two strong rivals, Dortmund and Rosenberg. They are in good shape and won the top 32. Although their state came out a little earlier, for the dark horse, the goal is not to win the championship. It's a mess, so it's not a bad thing to be in a state earlier.
After the end of the Champions League, in the Netherlands, whether Van Bommel, Kuyt and Clonn Kemp should join the national team became a hot topic of discussion, which was caused by Jiang Mu's speech after the game with Rosenberg.
At that time, the Dutch reporter asked if it was possible for the Netherlands to win the championship in the European Cup to be held in the Netherlands next year. Jiang Mu replied: "At present, the Dutch national team does not have an Alkmaar player, so it is impossible for them to win the championship. The top four is already their limit. I think Van Bommer, Kuit, Klonkamp They can become the main force of the Dutch team. Van der Sar's strength is unparalleled, but Silva can also become a substitute.
The Dutch media praised Alkmaar in the case of a draw between Feyenoord and Eindhoven. The Telegraph said that "Alkmaar is the only hope of the Dutch League in the Champions League" and believed that "Van Bommel, Kuit and Clonkamp should all play the European Cup to be held in the mainland next year."
International Football commented: "Jiang Mu thought that the Netherlands needs fresh blood after the game. If they want to achieve good results in the mainland, Van Bommel, Kuit and Kronkamp are all players that can be considered. This statement is worthy of the reference of Rijkard. After all, Alkmaar won the double championship last season. Van Bommel, Kuyt and Klonkamp are the absolute main force. They are a little younger, but they can definitely stimulate the existing main force. There is no problem to be a substitute.
But the head coach of the Dutch international team, Rijkkard, did not say anything about this discussion, but after a warm-up match with Brazil in September, Rijkard said that the Dutch team's existing lineup is enough to help the Netherlands win the second European Cup. This also implicitly blocks the possibility that Alkmaar will be selected for next year's European Cup.
Rijkard's words aroused the anger of Alkmar's local players. In the league after the Champions League and Cambuur, Jiang Mu adopted a rotating style. Silva, Martens, Suleiman and other players who did not play in the Champions League also appeared in the starting lineup, and they also had a very good performance. Kuit scored twice, Van Bommel had two assists, Suleiman had one assist, and Martens and Silva were as steady in the back defense, helping Alkmaar beat his opponent 4:0 and solidify the top position in the table.
Because next year is the year of the European Cup, the schedule of the league is compressed for a short time, and the weekly double match has become the norm for this season. After the league, Alkmaar will soon go to Portugal and Boa Vista to play the third game of the Champions League. There is only a three-day gap between the two games.
The situation in Boa Vista is actually very similar to Alkmaar. The situation, rise, and the two head coaches are very similar.
The Dutch Bundesliga is dominated by Ajax, Feyenoord and Eindhoven. Before Alkmaar, no one could break the game where they took turns to win the championship, and the Portuguese Super League was also dominated by the three giants Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica. In a hundred years, no team has been able to take it away from their hands. It was not until 2000 that Boa Vista broke such a strange circle under the leadership of head coach Pacheco.
Last season, Jiang Mu's Alkmaar was the most magical team in Europe. They won the double championships in the league and the cup with an unbeaten record, breaking the dominance of the Dutch top three. In fact, Boavista of the Portuguese Super League is almost as amazing as them. 41-year-old coach Pacheco led the team to lose only three games this season. Because of the referee's problem, they only won the runner-up.
In the match against the top three of the Portuguese Super League, Boa Vista had an overall advantage for the first time. In the two rounds with the same city opponent and defending champion Porto, Boavista defeated his opponent 2-0 at the opponent's Dragon Stadium, which caused a great psychological shock to the opposing fans. In the second round, the "Trid Army" drew 0-0 with Porto at home. In the match with another giant Sporting Lisbon, the "Plaid Army" drew 2-2 at home and shook hands again 1-1 away. In the two matches with the Benfica team, the "Plaid Army" is even more double-killing opponents. 2-1 at home and 3-0 away. Boa Vista's amazing performance made everyone look at it. Without Jiang Mu and Alkmaar, Pacheco would have become a magical young marshal like Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu is also very familiar with Pacheco, because eleven years later, Pacheco became the head coach of Guoan, the imperial capital. Jiang Mu is also in the football circle of the imperial capital, and has also played a lot with Pacheco. Knowing that Pacheco is actually a great person, he can't There is a reason for his character to be as awesome as Mourinho, because he is too idealistic and not as utilitarian as Mourinho. In this era, utilitarians can lead the small ball club to win the championship, while idealists need the support of astronomical dollars, and these astronomical dollars are only available to rich families, so don't think about it.
Jiang Mu is a time traveler. He knows Pacheco, but Pacheco does not know Jiang Mu. In the eyes of this short, fat and shrewd Portuguese, Jiang Mu is just a Chinese who does whatever he can to win.
Although Pacheco thinks so, he does not dare to underestimate Jiang Mu. As an opponent of the same group, Pacheco has seriously studied Jiang Mu. He can't even believe that this is a coach living in China, because his football ideas are too advanced and his football tactics are beyond the times, but Pacheco is a genius. The commentator believes that Jiang Mu is a true coach genius. Even if he does not have to be in an advanced football environment, he can still form a great football idea.
Pacheco said about Alkmar and Jiang Mu, "This is a talented coach who focuses on utilitarianism and ideals, conservative and radical, rational and crazy, and Alkmaar also has the similar characteristics of their coach, and any team that despises them will be punished. Jiang Mu and I have some similar ideas in football. We all like technology, but we also attach great importance to strength and defense. We all like to fight back on the spot, so that defense starts with the striker. However, I don't like his unscrupulous approach to win. Football is becoming more and more conservative and boring, just because of his ideas are rampant.
Previously, we lost two Champions League games because we had no experience. This is our first time to play the Champions League. Now that we have realized the true face of the Champions League, we will also look at ourselves again how to play the Champions League. I believe we will play better than before. Now I want to say that we are not out yet, and Alkmaar has not qualified. There are six games in the Champions League group stage, and we will try our best to play the following games. Strive for the group to qualify.
To play with the coach he was familiar with in his previous life, Jiang Mu sighed infinitely. When he talked about Pacheco and Boa Vista before the game, Jiang Mu's tone eased a lot, teasing them and talking.
"Pacheco Jiang Mu's description of me is basically correct, but I don't think I'm a genius. No one can know it. I am the same. I admire Coach Pacheco's ability to make a mess of the Portuguese Super League. I believe he will break the monopoly of the top three of the Portuguese Super League like me.
Boa Vista is a strong team. Sanchez and Timofort have a strong dominance in the midfield. Although Bento and Cotto are old, they are experienced. Although the forward line has left Ayo, Dura and Atkin are enough to replace him. In the back defense, Paul Sosa and Litos are both European. Quasi-first-class defender. In the position of goalkeeper, Cameroon goalkeeper William and Portugal's goalkeeper Ricardo are also absolutely unconceive. They lost the first two games just because they are not inexperienced enough. We will never despise them, nor are we qualified to despise them. This is a fierce battle. We strive to win the third victory in Portugal and lay a good foundation for qualifying. As we all know, we are building a new stadium. We hope to play well in the Champions League and support the construction of the new stadium with practical actions.
