Chapter 311 Cooper's Provocation
When Jiang Mu had a headache about how to deal with Valencia, Valencia's head coach Cooper had a headache than Jiang Mu, because in his opinion, this Alkmaar was more difficult to deal with.
Cooper is an Argentine and has just started coaching Jurakan in the Argentine Primera División. In the 1997/1998 season, he began to serve as the coach of La Liga Majorca. It was in Malloryca. Cooper showed his coaching talent. Under the leadership of Cooper, he won the runner-up of the King's Cup. After that, he defeated Barcelona and won the Spanish Super Cup. In 1999, he achieved another good result and won the runner-up in the European Winners' Cup.
Cooper's success in Mallaca attracted the attention of Valencia. The president of Valencia decided to invite Cooper to Valencia, and Cooper also hoped to a bigger and more well-funded club to fulfill his football dream, so he came to Mestaglia after two seasons of coaching in Maroka, and here Cooper has gradually become a well-known leader, and entering the top four of the Champions League has made him famous.
Cooper started from the small ball club of Maloka. At that time, Mallorca had just been promoted to A. He had almost the same trajectory as Jiang Mu in Alkmaar, so Kub also deeply understood the difficulty of Jiang Mu to achieve such a result in Alkma, and had a deeper understanding of Jiang Mu's coaching ability than other coaches. Therefore, he was more afraid. Before the game, Cooper tried to use the war of words to influence Alkmaar's military heart. He thought that Alkmaar's players were young and more emotional, and might generate anger and impatience under his attack, so that he would play more easily away.
Although there were still a few days before the start of the game, Cooper couldn't help but take the lead in a war of words on the club's official website, pointing directly at Alkmaar.
In this week's public interview, he greatly degraded Alkmaar's victory. "That's just the Dutch League, not the five major leagues, let alone high-level leagues such as La Liga and Serie A. It's actually easy to win the championship. That champion is not worth boasting about.
Cooper also thinks that Alkmaar's entry into the quarter-finals of the Champions League is purely due to luck, otherwise, he should be eliminated in the top 16. "I have never seen such a lucky team. To be honest, I envy Alkmaar's luck. With such a good operation partner, I could have it when I was in Maloka. They won the La Liga championship, and Alkmaer has no luck. They should not appear in the quarterfinals at all.
In the face of the opponent's attack, Jiang Mu is also a clay figurine. What's more, Jiang Mu has never been a lenient person. The opponent does not attack. He also wants to take the initiative to provoke. What's more, the opponent is sent to the door. Jiang Mu immediately counterattacked against Cooper's words in an interview on the official website of UEFA.
"Couper is also a foreign coach who has been mixed up with a small club. He should understand the difficulties from being promoted to winning the championship and then defending the title. Talking to reporters and fans in this way will be struck by lightning. We are not boasting about our champion. We are enjoying the championship. It's not my crow's mouth. The champion may be Mr. Cooper. I can't enjoy it in my life. I hope he is a little psychologically prepared, because he not only doesn't have the luck of the champion, but also lacks the necessary character for the championship.
Jiang Mu's words are like dropping a blockbuster bomb in the football world. Almost everyone wants to find some excitement before the game. Jiang Mu's words attracted reporters and fans who focus on the revenge battle between Real Madrid and Bayern.
Valencia's players defend the coach's dignity, and Angeloma said with great admiration: "Cooper is a great coach. Whether on or off the court, I believe he will soon bring the championship to Valencia." Forward Ilier also threw himself into Cooper's commanding skills: "Cooper is the best coach I have ever seen, and we will definitely beat Alkmaar away. I want to score 3 goals! Put on a hat-trick."
Mendieta, the core captain of the team, said cautiously: "We think Coach Jiang Mu's statement is a little too much. Coach Cooper is the best coach I have ever seen, and he will become a champion coach. Alkmaar's home court is difficult to play. Barcelona lost the chance to the semi-finals, but we still have a game in Mestalla, which is the key to our promotion.
Of course, Jiang Mu's men will not show weakness. The striker Drogba said, "Don't scare me with Mestaria. Alkmaar is not afraid to fight in Mestaria. I know Cooper is a great coach, but that doesn't mean anything. I believe Coach Jiang Mu will definitely beat him!"
And Alkmaar's attack core Ronaldinho also said: "We are one of the four best teams in Europe, and Valencia is also the team I look forward to playing against Cooper, which will be a test of the real level of our players. I believe we will win the final victory.
Gattuso challenged Valencia, "Come on, come to DeHout to die. We will not show mercy. Since you are so confident, I hope the Valencian players dare to fight against us here. If you don't have the courage, don't talk so big.
Although Cooper stopped talking after he finished speaking, Jiang Mu did not stop talking. He continued to criticize Cooper in his column, and personally wrote about Cooper's team's weaknesses and ways to deal with Cooper's team. Jiang Mu said that Cooper was a conservative coward, Alkmaar's stable defense and no The feared attack will make Cooper appear in his original form.
At this time, in addition to fanning the flames and making the war of words between the two teams more lively, the media also personally participated in the war of words.
Arey, editor-in-chief of Spain's Marca, said that Valencia has ten unbeaten reasons. He believes that after Alkmaar's strength is exposed, other teams have studied them more and more thoroughly, and it will not be as easy for them to win. Allee believes that Valencia's playing style ensures that they will not lose at the De Houte Stadium, and Cooper's on-the-spot command ability is not inferior to Jiang Mu, and he is not inferior to Jiang Mu in the details of the dunk. The defensive counterattack is very efficient. Alkma wants to deal with Valencia like Barcelona.
The World Sports News also praised Valencia's rare consistency with Marca. "Although Cooper has not won any decent honors, they are on the right path. In the Champions League, they are more experienced and psychologically superior to Alkmaar. In addition, the dark horse team It will show its original shape in the semi-finals, like Dynamo Kiev last season, and Alkmaar is no exception this season.
Of course, the Dutch media defends their own team. The Telegraph said: "Alkmaar is not a dark horse in the general sense. Now it can be seen that their strength is much higher than ordinary people think. They not only cooperate with tacit understanding, have flexible tactics, and the players' personal abilities are also very good. Well, defending the Dutch League is the best example. Even if the dark horse team can win the championship that year, it basically failed to defend the title in the next year, because other teams are familiar with them and begin to pay attention to them, but Alkmaar is still as strong as the first season, and 66 league games unbeaten has created a miracle. I believe that it is unlikely that Valencia will eliminate Alkmaar and reach the finals.
International Football said: "Koubo hopes to influence Alkmaar through a war of words, but Jiang Mu's counterattack may make them unbearable. Maybe Cooper should not provoke before the game at all. Alkmaar won the praise of the whole world, which can't be changed by Cooper's slander. In this semi-finals, Jiang Mu will definitely tell Cooper why he is called a magic coach through a big victory.
However, the war of words between Cooper and Jiang Mu, the Dutch media and the Spanish media only briefly attracted the attention of fans, and the media and fans immediately continued to focus on another Champions League battle.
Bayern VS Real Madrid
This is the third match between two world-class giants this season. In the group stage, Bayern scored eight goals for Real Madrid in two rounds, scoring four goals per game, and almost forced the new coach Bosc to be dismissed. Now they are the third match. Real Madrid, who have been humiliated in the first two times, will definitely take revenge. These two games are definitely a bloody battle between Mars and Earth.
Before the game, most people think that Bayern will be unbeaten on the road, and at least there will be away goals, because Bayern played too strongly in the group stage. With the players unchanged, it is not easy for Real Madrid to beat Bayern.
There are also reporters and celebrities who think that Bosco was just taking over at that time. Now Real Madrid's running-in is becoming more and more tacit, and Bosk's playing style is also deeply rooted in people's hearts. No matter how Bayern wants to win away from home, it will never be as easy as the group stage, and it does not rule out the possibility of losing.
The first match in the semi-finals was between Real Madrid and Bayern. Alkmaar and Valencia were held the next day. The first round of Real Madrid and Bayern was held in Bernabeu. Real Madrid lost 2:4 at home in the last group stage. This time, Real Madrid was single-minded and simply beat Bayern 2-0 and won a goal in a row. It was not given to Bayern, which surprised the outside world's transformation of Real Madrid.
Although Bayern is not convinced, from the head coach Cisfeld to the fans who are shouting to give Real Madrid a good look at home and complete a big reversal, many people think that the current Real Madrid and Real Madrid in the group stage are no longer the same team, and the 2:0 lead also makes Bosco calm. The possibility of promotion is definitely greater than that of Bayern, and the psychological advantage of the first overlord of the Champions League is also very obvious. Bayern rarely wins the next game.
After the game, European betting companies immediately adjusted their odds of winning the championship. Bayern dropped from first place to second place, while Real Madrid just reversed a position with Bayern. However, Alkmaar's odds suddenly rose before the match with Valencia, surpassing Valencia and ranking third in the odds of winning the championship. This also shows that gambling companies are optimistic about Alkmaar's elimination of Valencia.
