Chapter 248 Instigation
(Sorry, the power went out yesterday, the update was late)
"It's unpopular, the UEFA Champions League is cold, Barcelona is forced to draw, and Manchester United loses." When Jiang Mu came back with the players, Lin Nazhou, the assistant coach who was watching the game in the hotel, greeted him and shouted excitedly.
"Really? Manchester United lost.
"Manchester United lost to Fiorentina! God!"
"Barassa didn't take Hertha Berlin! It seems that the difference between strength and weakness is too small.
"No one is a fish brisket. He regards others as a fish brisket, and finally he made his own fish brisket."
As soon as the players heard it, they immediately talked about it like a frying pan.
"It's very exciting, isn't it? Hertha Berlin is not Barcelona's opponent on paper. Of course, Fiorentina is not as strong as the defending champion Manchester United, but it's hard to say if it really fights, because football is round. Although it is impossible to achieve a game by chance on the court, it is likely to destroy a game, such as Red cards, such as own goal, such as injury, etc. Let's go. Let's go to the conference room to see the editing of the game. Uncle Lin, are you ready?
Jiang Mu smiled and felt that this was a good opportunity to cheer up his morale. As he spoke, he took the team to the conference room to watch the video clip of the game.
"You have arranged it in advance, but you can't do it well." Lin Nazhou and Jiang Mu had the same heart and laughed, "Young men, do you hear that? Everyone has a chance. We are in the group of death. We dare to escape from death and dare to die as a living horse doctor."
The players all laughed.
Jiang Mu continued: "Does anyone know what this Alkmaar has been from Eerste Divisie to Eerste Divisie, from the Dutch Cup to the Champions League in two and a half years?"
Kuyt, a young veteran who has been following Jiang Mu, said, "Strength and hard work, well, there is also a little luck."
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "Strength, hard work and luck? That's right. Of course, we have the strength and hard work, but we haven't reached the kind of person who can complete this magical progress. Luck? Maybe, we don't have many injuries and good luck. But the most important thing is that we have a fighting spirit - an unyielding fighting spirit. It is this fighting spirit that makes Alkmaar create many results that others can't imagine. We are not afraid of any team, and we will never admit defeat. Whether it is Chelsea standing in front of us, Barcelona Real Madrid and Bayern Manchester United, we admit that we are a weak team, we admit that we are nobody, but we will never admit defeat. If we want to continue to be magical tomorrow, we must maintain this spirit consistently."
Jiang Mu said more and more passionately. The players had just relaxed back, and their spirits were just right. Then they roared, "We will never give up."
Jiang Mu continued: "Look at the goals scored by Fiorentina and Manchester United. Manchester United obviously don't care about their opponents, thinking that they are the defending champions. In their form, we can also beat them. Even if we look at a game, we have no hope of winning. Even at this time, we have to work hard. Miracles are produced when it is impossible, otherwise how can it be called a miracle?
Jiang Mu clenched his fist, and his forest team did a lot of things like this. Otherwise, how could the outside world call Alkmaar a magical team and a magical coach?
"Even if we lose the game in the end, of course we haven't lost yet, but we will always lose. As long as we have this spirit, we will lose and will definitely win back. This spirit is Alkmaar and those who are struggling downstream of the league. All day, we only think about the biggest difference between how to relegate the local team.
... In a game that needs to win, you will never hear me tell you: give up this game and take a break to prepare for the next game. Because we did this once, when the game is in trouble, when we need to work hard, we will think of giving up. Without good cooperation, if you practice more, you will have it. If you don't have good skills, you will have it. If you don't have good consciousness and experience, if you think more, it will naturally occur. But without this fighting spirit and spirit, no team, even if it brings all the stars in the world together, can't save the team. They I'm sure I won't win any championship."
Jiang Mu finished his speech and watched the video of the game with the players before letting the players go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game.
Chelsea's home stadium is called Stamford Bridge Stadium, which was officially opened on April 28, 1877. Originally, the stadium was intended for Fulham Football Club, but they refused the opportunity. So Chelsea Football Club, a new football club born in 1905, became the owner of Stamford Bridge Stadium.
The name of Stamford Bridge is related to the local landmark. The area between Fulham Road and King's Road includes the area where the current stadium is located. There is a small river called Stanford on the map, which flows into the Thames along the direction of the railway behind the east stand of the current stadium. There is a label "Little Chelsea Bridge" where the river crosses Fulham Road. The place name was originally called "Sanford Bridge", and the place where the river crosses King's Road is called "Stan Bridge". The name of the river and two bridges constitutes the name of Stamford Bridge, which later became the name of Stamford Bridge Stadium.
Now most people, including the oldest fans, have forgotten the original symbolism of Stamford Bridge, and only know that he is Chelsea's home court.
In Chelsea's nearly 100-year history, they have won the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Charity Shield, the League One, the European Super Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup, but they have always been unable to win the Premier League and the European Cup. This pair of Chelsea, who are looking for a big team. It's a pain with Chelsea fans, because without these two championships, it means that they can't raise their heads in front of Liverpool, Manchester United, and even Arsenal, which has only won the Premier League but not the Champions League.
If you want to overwhelm the rivals of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the same city, taking a Champions League is the best choice. Getting the Premier League is the same as Arsenal, so Chelsea's fans' obsession with the Champions League can be seen, so even if Viali plays very badly in the league, because of his successive victories in the Champions League, the fans Support the Italian bald coach without regret.
Today, Stamford Bridge Stadium welcomed Alkmaar, the largest dark horse in Europe, and Jiang Mu, the most magical and youngest coach in Europe.
Thirty-five-year-old Viali is called a youth coach by Chelsea fans, and Jiang Mu is a baby coach in the eyes of Chelsea fans, but Chelsea fans never dare to despise this young Chinese. Although he is only 26 years old, his coaching skills are abnormal. Lao La, whether it is the war of words before the game, the on-the-spot command, and the ability to deal with reporters, it makes people unable to see that he is only 26 years old, so that Michels, the godfather of the Netherlands, praises Jiang Mu in front of people, "He is a natural coach, a natural tactician, and a Napoleon on the green field. Bonaparte."
Although Jiang Mu repeatedly showed weakness before the game, saying that it was enough to get one point, Chelsea fans did not believe that their team could easily win. They all came to Stamford Bridge Stadium with great enthusiasm to watch the game and cheer for their team. Fans without tickets were also at home, in the square. In the bar, support your own team.
Two hours before the game, the Stamford Bridge Stadium began to open. An hour and a half later, the stands of Stamford Bridge Stadium were already full of people. There was no gap, whistles, songs, cheers, and stamped feet, as if the game had begun.
"Manchester United lost, Barcelona drew, and the results just got, Bayern Munich also encountered a strong cold air in Norway, and they were also cold, away one-to-one draw with Rosenberg... Six games, three surprises, if Valencia defeated Bordeaux 3:0 is also included, then It's four unpopular. If there are too many unpopular, it's not called unpopular. It's called trendy. Of course, it's a cold current. Can this cold current flow to Stamford Bridge? I think Coach Viali should be more cautious. Our opponent is a favorite team. His name is Dark Horse. Whoever catches him will be black.
Jose, the commentator at the scene, reported the latest news of the Champions League game to the fans. His language was very humorous and could also incite the mood of the fans. The fans at the scene also applauded him from time to time.
What makes us uneasy is that the big dark horse Alkmaar kept a low profile before the game. They actually took one point as their goal. Is this the Chinese playing conspiracy and tricks again? The Italians are also connoisseurers of conspiracy and tricks. Macchiaveli is the pioneer, but the Chinese have been playing conspiracy and tricks for 2,000 years. Maybe Chinese ginger's blood is full of conspiracy and brains are full of tricks. It is difficult for Viali to compete with Chinese ginger in this regard.
However, Viali has two incomparable advantages. One is that there are many veterans in our team, and there are many big names. The age of the starters should be twice that of Alkmaar. They should know how to adapt. In addition, we are fighting at home. The fans in the Stamford Bridge stands are the guarantee of victory... ...“
There was another applause from the stands.
"... Well, the players have come out to warm up. Now let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides. Chelsea is a 4-4-2 formation:
Gatekeeper: De Hoyer
Defenders: Melchiot; Deselli; Barpayaro; Ferrer
Middlefielder: Zola; Wise, Boyette, Deschamps
Forward: Flo, Little Laudrup
Alkmaar's starting lineup is still 433,:
goalkeeper Cesar, defender: Riese, Lucio, Ismail, Kroncamp, midfielder: Van Bomel, Gattuso, Ronaldinho, striker: Drogba, Kuite, Tomasen.
... Before the game, Alkmaar was very low-key. In the training before the start of the game, he still played a three-back lineup. Now Engo, a defensive midfielder, has disappeared, replaced by Little Rora, who has fallen into the midfield. This is a very strange phenomenon. Maybe Viali should be cautious.
... Chelsea's starting lineup is old. I don't know if there will be a crisis in their physical fitness when they play against Alkmaar's little tigers. As we all know, this Alkmaar is the best team in the Champions League. He is simply a retired player after the marathon... "
The commentator explained to the fans worriedly.
