Chapter 267 Enter the top four of the Dutch Cup

(I'm sorry, my classmate's father passed away and I went to the funeral. I met many old classmates in the evening. I drank too much and delayed the update. I tried my best to make up for it today)

On the night when the players returned to the team, Jiang Mu found Klose's home.

The German young man is very independent. He rents a house by himself, eats, eats and eats clothes by himself. In addition to cleaning, he asks part-time workers for help.

"I wanted to see how you live a long time ago, but for various reasons, it dragged on to today," Jiang Mu patted Klose on the shoulder and sat on the sofa.

"Thank you, coach, for your attention. Life here is very convenient." Klose also knew why Jiang Mu came here. He was a little nervous and quickly went to make coffee for Jiang Mu.

"Where's the holiday? Have a good time." Jiang Mu said with a smile.

"I'm mainly with my family, and I don't usually have time to be together." Klose said.

"The absence of family has any impact on your training, competition and life. Why don't you take over your family like Drogba?" Jiang Mu asked.

"Oh, yes... Well, I'm not the same as Drogba. I'm still a substitute now. I don't know how long I can stay here. My parents and girlfriends don't want to move around, so I live in Germany for the time being. When I'm stable, they may come." Klose said bluntly.

Jiang Mu took a sip of coffee and said, "You are an indispensable member of the team. Although you are not the main force now, in fact, in Alkmaar, no one is the absolute main force. There is only good or bad in my position. No one can occupy the main seat for a long time. You sat on the bench some time ago, mainly because Because of the opponents and playing methods, in the second half, our opponents in the league adopt more defensive tactics, and you and Drogba are very likely to start.

Cloze showed a happy look on his face and said, "Thank you, coach. I didn't do well during the holiday. The agent's speech caused trouble to the team. I have communicated with David. I believe he will definitely not do it again in the future."

Jiang Mu smiled and said pleasantly, "Don't blame yourself. This is also a way to communicate, but it's better to communicate directly with me in the future. We are not much different in age, just like brothers. What else can't we talk about? In fact, I'm also young. I have just become the head coach of a first-class team for a year, and I will soon Facing the beginning of the league and the Champions League, I feel a little busy. In fact, this year is the year of the European Cup. Everyone hopes to have a good performance so that they can be valued by the head coach. I like your point. You can't make progress without self-motivation. I will give you enough opportunities to perform. If In the end, it can't be done well, which means that you still need to work harder.

Jiang Mu's words came to Klose's heart. The biggest dream of players like him is to join the national team, play the European Cup and the World Cup, which is the place to become famous with one goal. The reason why Klose complains is that he wants to enter the national team.

"Thank you, coach. Looking at other teammates who have more or less experience of the national team, I'm very anxious. This year's European Cup may not have much chance, but I hope to catch up with the 2002 World Cup. In order to achieve this goal, I must have enough time and performance opportunities in the club." Klose said what he was thinking.

"Well, I have been in the national team for two years. This goal is very realistic. I don't want to be impetuous or underestimate myself. I believe you will succeed. Klose, work hard. In Alkmaar, you will become a great star.

Jiang Mu appeased Klose, Tomasson and others the night before. At the press conference the next day, Jiang Mu severely criticized their agents.

"Players should take care of their agents and don't let them talk nonsense. Players are part of the team. Only when the team succeeds can players succeed, and the success of the team is inseparable from the efforts of every player. As I said for a long time, Alkmaar does not have an absolute main force and substitute, only Every player has a chance to be in good or bad shape. I promise that under me, every player can achieve high-speed and comprehensive development. If you can't succeed in Alkmaar, I can guarantee that you will not achieve greater success in other clubs.

Jiang Mu used the big stick and carrot together, which quickly relieved the hidden dangers of the club. No one from the player's agent said anything about the player's transfer and salary. During the training, the players also fought bravely and performed actively, hoping to have more opportunities in the second half. Will.

Jiang Mu is of course very happy with this change. He has also strengthened the contact and communication with the players. In addition to pointing out the players' performance on the training ground, he also talks with the players and communicates about things other than football and games.

Alkmaar are all young people. Jiang Mu is only six or seven years older than them. Like a big brother, it is much easier to communicate. In addition to admiring Jiang Mu, the players are also three points closer, which makes the relationship between the players and coaches very harmonious, which is more for Alkmaar to deal with in the second half. The close and cruel third-line battle has laid a good foundation.

The second half begins with a tight schedule. Although the group stage of the UEFA Champions League only starts in March, in the 27 days of February, the Dutch team will play at least 6 league games, and the teams that have not been eliminated in the Dutch Cup will have to play a quarter-final, that is to say, Alkmaar will play an average of one game in less than four days. The game.

Considering the hardships of the second half, Jiang Mu quickly put the players into the state at the beginning. In the first game, it was 2:0 on the road, and Alkmaar's main competitor, Eindhoven, lost 0:1 in the game with his old opponent Feyenoord, allowing Alkmaer to widen's the point gap again. It's more than 10 minutes.

In the second game against Heerenveen, Alkmaar played a little hard, but the final result was that they continued to win. After the first substitute, Klose started the game, and he also scored a goal that determined the victory after the start.

Klose's goal is his best header. After scoring, Klose hugged Jiang Mu. After the game, this is regarded as evidence of the misunderstanding between Klose and Jiang Mu. Some people interpret what Klose said through their lips. 90% are thanking Jiang Mu for letting him start.

The main force is in such a good state that the media thought that Jiang Mu would let the main force play the final eight knockout match, but Jiang Mu decisively won all the main lineup, let the second team and the substitutes play, and play the quarter-finals with the Ajax youth team.

Before the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup, many people thought that Jiang Mu did not dare to let his youth team and Ajax's youth team play the top eight battle. Before the winter break, Jiang Mu also said that he did not dare to guarantee that the two youth teams would play the knockout match in the Dutch Cup, because they were The reserve league has been played more than once, and the Dutch Cup championship is also important to Alkmaar. But what finally appeared on the field was basically a youth team-based lineup, with only three first-team substitutes.

This is a big competition for the future of the team. Alkmaar leads Robben and Huntelaar. The leaders of the Ajax Youth Team are Van der Fat and Sneid. They are both sixteen or seventeen years old, but their talents are amazing. For example, Robben has already played and scored in the league. Sneid has also become the leader and soul of the Ajax youth team. The Ajax youth team can play. The quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup were almost based on Sneid and Van der Fate.

Ajax's youth team is more talented and creative, but Alkmaar's players are more tenacious, more tenacious, and dare to use their bodies to fight. Their high-level rush and quick counterattack launched by Robben after breaking the ball makes the Ajax youth team a headache, especially Robben's speed and passing, Heng Traal's grab shot complemented each other, so that Sneed, the leader of the Ajax youth team, had to defend desperately, and his offensive talent could not be exerted.

Alkmaar scored a goal first, and then contracted to play the defense. He wanted to score the second goal to end the battle, but the Ajax youth team was not a fish. Although they counterattacked, they did not lose their vigilance.

In the 56th minute, Robben broke through on the side, attracting everyone to defend, and then passed it to Huntelaar, but Van der Farr's defense did not score a single goal.

Then Sneed used a free kick to equalize the score. Two minutes later, Van der Fart overt overtook the score with a wonderful 30-meter long shot.

Although the game turned into Ajax defense, Alkmaar attacked.

The defense of the Ajax youth team is average. They mainly rely on attack. Seeing that the game lasted 70 minutes later, the score was overtaken. Ajax's young players thought they could survive the last 20 minutes, but five minutes before the end of the game, Robben did not let Van der Fart be beautiful. His beautiful long-range shot made The game entered overtime.

The overtime has become the world of Alkmaar. Their physical advantages are obvious here. The Ajax youth team can't raise their heads. In the first and second half, Robben scored two goals in a row and staged the hat trick of this game. He also led Alkmaar to the top four of the Dutch Cup. In the next game The opponent is Utrecht, and the other two top four places were grabbed by Ajax and Eindhoven. This pair of feud will also play the most exciting and fierce game since the start of the Dutch Cup.

After the game, Jiang Mu praised Alkmaar's young players and substitutes. "The young people performed very well. They won a close match. Robben played a hat-trick. His talent is beyond doubt, but he can't forget to pass. Passing is the first priority of a midfielder and winger. . In the 29th minute and 50th second of the game, Robben broke through the side. Huntelaar has been in place. As long as he passes, he has a chance to face the empty goal, but Robben chose to shoot himself.

The team that made the top four has no weak team. You can't say that Utrecht is stronger than Ajax and Eindhoven, but you can't say that it is weaker than them. It's hard to say who wins or loses. We must be vigilant to ensure that we reach the finals. Defending the title is our real goal.
