Chapter 310 New Opponent

(Sorry! Yesterday, a group of college friends came. They had a hangover and couldn't update. Yesterday's two updates will be made up one after another. Please forgive me)

Although the Eersteliga is not one of the five major leagues, it cannot be regarded as a non-mainstream league. To be precise, they are between the mainstream leagues and non-mainstream leagues. Surrounded by the European quasi-first-class teams Ajax, Feyenoord and Eindhoven, it is not easy for Alkmaar to defend the Dutch League. .

If Alkmaar won the league as a dark horse a year ago, now their defending title is a true name. Just after Alkmaar reached the top, major European media made comments and congratulated them on their success.

The Dutch Telegraph immediately commented: "This is a milestone in the Dutch League. Alkmaar successfully defended the Dutch champion with an unbeaten record and reached the semi-finals in the Champions League. The Dutch Cup also reached the final. They even had the opportunity to win the first triple crown after Manchester United, which marks that the Dutch League has After entering the era of Alkmaar's rule, this group of young people are now only in their early 20s. If there is no internal problem, they are likely to rule the Dutch for a long time and establish an Alkmaar dynasty.

England's Sun newspaper said: "Alkmaar has extended their unbeaten league record to 66 games, and they have also succeeded in defending the league championship two rounds ahead of time. This is the first time in 58 years that a team other than the top three has defended its title.

From the beginning of this season, the identity of Alkmaar's dark horse can be whitewashed. As long as there are no internal problems, their strength is enough to dominate the Dutch League for ten years.

Germany's Bild newspaper congratulated: "Alkmaar defended the league championship in two rounds ahead of schedule and became the first team outside the three giants in the Dutch league in 58 years. Their strength is higher than other teams, and their performance in the league can be described as devastating. Even the former giant Ajax did not show such a stable and overwhelming advantage. Although a single show is not as good as several teams competing together, the Dutch League has been ruled by the top three for too long, and they need a new hegemon. We congratulate Alkmaar on his defending his title and look forward to a greater miracle in the Champions League.

Italian newspaper Milano Sport said: "Alkmaar has increasingly become an important force in European football. Whether in the league or in the Netherlands, they have shown extremely high tactical literacy and strong strength. They are likely to become the whole in the future. One of the most popular teams in Europe.

However, there are also many media that think that Alkmaar will be the second Ajax, because after the introduction of the Bosman Act, players whose contracts expire can transfer freely, and EU players are no longer counted as foreign aids. The Dutch League belongs to the European second-rate league, which is limited to the investment scale of the club, and the income of players playing in the Dutch League is generally common. Not high, some players with full wings and strength to enter the top league often clashed with the club in terms of treatment, and the two sides eventually broke up unhappily. The young people in Alkmaar are like the talented young people in 1995. They have strong strength. After winning a lot of honors, they begin to yearn for a bigger stage, more beautiful cars and houses. They need more money. At this time, it is difficult for Alkmaar to keep them, although A large part of Erkemar's magic is due to the head coach Jiang Mu, but it is undeniable that without this group of geniuses, the magical Jiang Mu can't create such a miracle.

When talking about Alkmaar's defending his title, he said: Alkmaar successfully defended his title and reached the quarter-finals in the Champions League. Many media and fans think that Alkmaar will establish a dynasty. I still hope that Alkmaar can avoid 95 The tragedy of Ajax is repeated, but it is obviously difficult. Alkmaar was originally rich, but after starting to build a new stadium, they didn't have much money to spend on the players. Jiang Mu came up with a trick to give the Champions League bonus directly to the players, but this practice can only be used for a while, not for a long time. Use, and with the increase of fame and the improvement of their vision, young players will definitely no longer be satisfied with the Dutch League. At that time, Alkmaar was the most dangerous time.

According to the French "Team News", although Ligue 1 is one of the five major leagues, many young players regard landing in Ligue 1 as a springboard, but their rich clubs can't retain people. Unnamed Dutch clubs such as Alkmaar can't be compared with Ligue 1 giants, and it is even more impossible to retain people like Ronaldinho, Drogba and Van. Bomel, Robben and other rising stars.

For this point, Jiang Mu does not deny at all that the talented new star leaves Ligue 1 not only because of money. Money is only one of them. The ** of reputation and status is also a very important part of it. Serie A, La Liga, the Premier League, and even the ** of the Bundesliga are greater than the Dutch League, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, Mi Lan, even if their annual salary is lower than that of Alkmaar, the players will definitely choose to play for these giants. It is human's normal for people to go high and water to flow low.

However, Jiang Mu has never thought of retaining these players until retirement, nor has he thought of building Alkmaar into a big team like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Milan to create a second Ajax. Jiang Mu is satisfied, and his future will not be in the Dutch League.

What Jiang Mu is more confident about himself and Alkmaar is that these players will not leave, but that he can use the advantage of rebirth to sell the new stars who want to go to buy more potential new stars, so as to keep Alkmaar's talented players, and this kind of business is sure to make no loss, so Jiang Mu doesn't have to worry about the ball at all. Whether the core of the team will leave, and there is no need to worry about the team's economic problems. As long as Dirk does not ask the club for money, but only reduces investment, he can rely on the club's own operation to let Alkmaar continue like this.

Now it is the end of the season. Jiang Mu has already sent scouts to search for the geniuses he remember, such as Messi, Pato, Kaka, etc. If anyone wants to leave this season, there will soon be similar players to replace him. Even if Ronaldinho leaves, Jiang Mu has a way to find a second frontcourt organizer. . Now Alkmaar is not Alkmaar a year ago. Now Alkmaar is the Dutch champion and the top four of the Champions League. There are many young people in Alkmaar. As long as Jiang Mu wave, the threshold of the Dehout Stadium can be leveled.

What these coaches are most worried about is that Jiang Mu is not worried at all now. He is fully prepared for the Champions League semi-final with Valencia. Further, it is the final. Two steps is the champion. Jiang Mu, an old young man, has not been able to do it. The Champions League champion is very attractive to him, although he is now thin. Famous, even if it's an exaggeration, it's nothing to say that he is famous all over the world, but his reputation is very illusory. He doesn't have excellent results. As long as the fans are tired of him, he will be finished. Jiang Mu wants to get out of the stereotyped definition of personality coaches and idol coaches. Champions League championships are a must.

Although Valencia is not as famous as Barcelona, it is by no means a kind person. Valencia is located in the southeast of Spain. It is the third largest city in Spain and the second largest seaport in Spain. The city has a population of 800,000, which is more than Amsterdam, which shows their fan base. And the player base will not be too bad,

In fact, the Bats are the third of La Liga. They have won one Champions League championship, one Super Cup, four league runners-up, and six King's Cup titles, and their achievements in La Liga and the Champions League also show Valencia's status in La Liga.

In the last two seasons, after Valencia invited head coach Cooper, it is obvious that he has begun to enter his ** period. Cooper is rigorous in nature and likes defensive counterattacks, which is in line with Valencia's tradition, and in the past two years, Valencia has attracted many powerful players and transferred to Lazio's Agen. Court "Little Bug" Claudio. Javier. Lopez is one of Valencia's most outstanding foreign players. Adrian Ilie, the famous Romanian striker "Cobra" who replaced him, is not weaker than Lopez and is the leader of Romania. Before joining Valencia, the Romanian player was still a complete stranger to the European football circle. But since then, he has become the most daunting weapon in the football world. Ilier's explosive power is very good. He is excellent in skills, rhythm and movements. Because of his fast speed and explosive power, he has been given a nickname Cobra by his opponents and fans. His wind-like speed gives him unparalleled performance. Force. Another striker, Angulo, is also a front-line killer who is a headache for all goalkeepers. Gasca. Mendieta, the flag of Valencia, is the captain of the two-time UEFA Champions League runner-up. He is the candidate for the best midfielder in Europe in the 99-00 season, and the biggest favorite of the Spanish Footballer of the Year in the 99-00 season. If a good goalkeeper is equivalent to half a team, then the goalkeeper Canissares is the treasure of Valencia's team. His goal is as solid as a rock and is a nightmare for all strikers.

In addition to these star players, like French defender Angloma, the peak is actually the world's top five right-backs, and one person is easily responsible for a sideline, Keeley. Gonzalez is a powerful player. He runs tirelessly, grabs anytime and anywhere, and the occasional key goals are his label. He is not as famous as Mendieta, and his playing method is not so dazzling, but he is a player that every team needs.

In the face of such a player, Jiang Mu can't but have a headache in the face of defensive counterattack. He remembers that in his last life, Valencia met Barcelona at its peak in the semi-finals of the Champions League. As a result, they defeated Barcelona 4:1 at home. Under Barcelona's fierce fight away, they only lost by a small score of 1:2. It was a game, but they still scored a goal on the road.

To let Jiang Mu evaluate his team, Alkmaar is actually good at defense, not attack, but in the game with Valencia, I'm afraid that Alkmaar only has an offensive part, which is not a good thing for Alkmaar. Their defense line may suffer the most severe test.
