Chapter 302 Van Gaal's Midfield Adjustment
Jiang Mu was also stunned. Chang'e I assumed 11 million goals, but he never thought that he would score goals in such an outrageous way. This is a low-level mistake that only people will make. This kind of mistake can't predict even Chang'e 1 in advance, because it can occur in any way.
Undercover agent? Infernal Affairs?
Jiang Mu couldn't help crying and laughing. The opponent's goalkeeper assisted. He hasn't encountered such a good thing for two years. Today, at the most difficult time, a pie fell from the sky. The football was round. This sentence is really not wrong at all.
Jiang Mu is not a complacent person. After a short celebration, he immediately let the players concentrate, defend the last minute, and put a satisfactory end to the first half.
After the restart, Barcelona's players went to Alkmaar's half like crazy, as if they wanted to score another goal in the last minute, but Alkmaar was ready. Without great luck, it was almost impossible to score in a minute. In the end, the ball was kicked out twice by Alkmaar. After the sideline, referee Nelson blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Hearing the whistle, the Barcelona player, like a deflated ball, gave up the attack and walked to the locker room. Alkmaar's players stayed on the court and interacted with their fans for nearly two minutes before returning to the locker room.
In the locker room, the first thing Jiang Mu did was to make the players thank God, because they didn't play well. Without God's help, their 15 minutes in the locker room would be 15 minutes of pain.
Jiang Mu did not blame the players. The stadium is so big and there are so many fans, which has a great impact on the direction of the game, which he did not expect before. In addition, the opponent's luck is also very good. He can't blame all the players for scoring two goals at the opening. At least from the results, Barcelona did not occupy a little in this half of the game. It's cheap. They have to play three goals before the game to advance. After half-time, they still need to score three goals to advance. This is a good thing for Alkmaar, so that Jiang Mu can deploy calmly in the second half.
Forty-five minutes, if you add stoppage time, up to 50 minutes. In these 50 minutes, Jiang Mu made a detailed tactical deployment every ten minutes. Based on Barcelona's goals and non-goals, there are two different coping strategies for each stage.
If it is an ordinary coach, it is troublesome enough to formulate this tactic, but Jiang Mu has Chang'e No. 1 and quickly designed the tactics. Jiang Mu asked the players to record it and take it with him, so as not to forget his instructions when the game is tense.
On the whole, there were not many mistakes in the tactics in the first half. Jiang Mu did not make major adjustments during the halftime. He just made a bolder for the players to fight back. They could not let Barcelona play so unscrupulously. Although Barcelona's two goals in the first half had luck, they were also unscrupulous with them. The wild attack is inseparable, just like Alkmaar's goal, which looks very accidental. In fact, if they don't rush out, this opportunity will not fall on their heads.
In the locker room of the home team, Van Gaal was ready to gamble. He replaced winger Cenden with another center Dani. Garcia, use the center tactic.
It takes three goals in 45 minutes, and it takes at least two to have a chance to play overtime. Van Gaal can't wait any longer. He must score in the fastest way as in the first half, otherwise the players will have many unpredictable factors because of impatience.
After personnel adjustment and tactical arrangements, Van Gaal patted Heipus on the shoulder meaningfully, and then said to the players, "Everyone comes from all over the world, the Netherlands, Brazil and Spain, but now there is no Dutch gang or local gang. We are all Barcelona players. Now, it's me. After coaching Barcelona, we went to the Champions League for the third time. We won two league championships. We now need to move towards a higher goal. Last season, we lost to the dark horse Dynamo Kiev, and now the enemy in front of us is a big dark horse, Alkmaar, who is more fierce and more powerful than Kiev Dynamo, but we We must not fall on the threshold of the top four again and defeat Alkmaar. The following is Valencia or Lazio. The way to the finals has never been as smooth as today. I hope everyone can forget their original identity, forget the original grudges, work hand in hand in hand, and eliminate Al. Kemal, make it to the finals! Do you have confidence? If there is, just shout at me!"
"Yes!"
The shouts of Barcelona players resounded through the locker room, and they were all encouraged by Van Gaal's words. Tie Shuai has never been as emotional as today, and the players have never been as full of ** as today. Although the difficulties in front of them are very great, they are full of confidence and desire for victory. They can't wait to play immediately. Let's start.
After the start of the second half of the game, the Barcelona players came out first, Dani. Garcia and Cruyvette stood together, and two strikers who were more than 1.8 meters tall stood in the middle circle, which immediately aroused discussion among fans and commentators.
"Replaced? It's Dani. Garcia? Cen Deng went down."
"Cen was invisible at half-time. He should have gone down a long time ago."
"Danny, is it okay? He doesn't want to take Cruyvitt's chance. He can't score goals again."
The on-site commentator said worriedly, "It is a good way to change the winger and the center forward, which is certainly a good way to break the opponent's intensive defense, but without the winger's pass, can the center play all his strength? If the sideline defender Sergi assists, if he is hit back by the opponent and the full-back can't get back in place, the consequences will be serious.
Van Gaal must have thought of the problems that commentators and fans have thought of for a long time, but every style of play has its advantages and disadvantages. For Barcelona, what they urgently need now is to score goals. Other risks can be temporarily bearable, as long as they score goals.
After changing sides and fighting again, Barcelona is still crazy, with the intention of scoring a goal within 15 minutes to lay a good foundation for the following games.
After half-game adaptation, Alkmaar's players remained calm before Barcelona's fierce beating. They did a perfect job of staring and regional defense. Van Bomel, Gattuso, Lucio, Ismail, and other defensive players showed the standard of world-class players. They are with Barcelona players. In the confrontation, both individual one-on-one and multi-person joint defense and co-defense have won the victory, leaving Barcelona's players unable to score a goal after playing for 15 minutes in the second half.
The fifteen minutes of the second half is a very important time. He means that one-third of the second half of the game has passed, and Barcelona, which needs to score three goals, has not scored a goal, which shows that Van Gaal's tactics have not received the due effect.
Mourinho reminded Van Garr on the sidelines: "Now we should continue to make adjustments and the last striker. If you don't adjust now, the next 15 minutes will pass. If you change people or make tactical adjustments, it won't have little effect."
Van Gaal shook his head and said, "Don't adjust. We don't have better players. Moreover, our players have performed well in front of us. We need a little luck."
"Luck? If you are lucky, don't do anything. The opponent's goalkeeper can also assist us. Mourinho said sarcastically.
"Without luck, you may not be able to score any goals. No one dares to arrogantly say that their team doesn't need luck."
Van Gaal stubbornly ignored Mourinho. In his opinion, the adjustment is too impatient at this moment, and he doesn't have a better player than on the court. He wants to wait and see. After all, he has just adjusted for less than 15 minutes. Van Gaal wants to see some changes in the team. He is a Experienced coaches know that what is needed at this time is not impatience, but patience.
Van Gaal's patience has been rewarded this time. Although Barcelona's attack has not been effective for a while, there are double centers in the penalty area of Alkmaar. Barcelona's pass is also good, and the suspension has a clear goal, at least every pass has a certain threat.
In the sixty-fourth minute of the game, Figo broke through on the right. Neither Gattusso nor Riese on the side could withstand the desperate Portuguese devil. He was pulled down by Riser on the side, winning a free kick and causing Riser to get a yellow card.
Figo personally sent the free kick to the penalty area. The ball took a very urgent rotation and made an arc in the center of the penalty area and flew to the bottom line.
Cruyvette's battle for the top of the front point attracted a lot of troops, and at this time, the replacement center Dani, killed at the back post. He beat Klon Kemp and headed the ball from the armpit of the goalkeeper Cesar into the near corner of the goal.
3:1
Dani's goal helped Barcelona expand the score to 3:1, and the total score reached 4:5. They are still one goal short to equal Alkmaar, and as long as they score another goal, they will have a chance to play a fair play-off with Alkmaar, provided that Alkmaar will not score.
Dani, who came on as a substitute, was very excited. He enthusiastically took off his jersey and waved from the court to the coach's seat.
The 100,000 fans in the stands shouted earth-shakingly. Barcelona fans released their emotions that had been suppressed for dozens of minutes again. The result was that the stadium was like a hurricane, and all the voices could not be heard, and only the cheers of Barcelona fans were full.
Van Gaal rushed to the side of the court and hugged Dani, who rushed to the side of the court. At this time, the goal came really timely. Van Gaal was ready to change. Dani scored a goal, which made Van Gaal postpone the gambling time for a few minutes. Dani's goal shows that his adjustment is effective. If this One goal to improve morale, and it is not impossible to score another goal. Now Van Gaal thinks that he can consider starting to prepare for overtime. The opponent Alkmaar's defense is so tight that it's good to score another goal. He really doesn't dare to expect to score two more goals to directly reverse Alkmaar.
