Chapter 329 Post-match Interview
There was no miracle in front of Jiang Mu. Valencia was unexpectedly eliminated, and Alkmaar successfully advanced.
The dark horse slowly whitewashed every time he won. Alkmar was cold every time, and the unpopular game became uninterested by the fans. Before the game, many people hoped that Valencia could complete a big reversal and explode Alkmaar's surprise, but Alkmaar ruthlessly shattered the hopes of these people. They completed Jiang Mu's promised goal with an undisputed score and reached the final, although the process was a little scum.
As soon as Hauge's whistle sounded, Valencia's players left the court as fast as possible. At this time, most of the Valencia fans in Mestaria also left. The grandstand, which could accommodate more than 50,000 fans, was empty and became a stage for more than 3,000 Alkmaar fans to celebrate.
Many fans have been prepared for a long time. At this moment, they took out the banners made before the game. Some said, "Kill France, take down the big ears", some wrote, "Real Madrid, we are coming!" Some said, "We love you whether we can't make it to the finals or not."
Alkmaar's players are also extremely excited and have psychological expectations for promotion, but the process is so difficult that they have never thought of it. However, this difficult process also increases the joy of promotion. Originally, many players celebrated after the first round of the game, but now it is down-to-earth. The real joy made the players even more crazy. Several Brazilian players, such as Lucio and Ronaldinho, stood on the sidelines and danced samba, which attracted many fans in the stands to imitate.
At this time, except for a small number of Spanish reporters who went to eavesdrop and inquire about Valencia's news, most of them crowded to the court to look for Alkmaar's players for interviews.
The focus is still Ronaldinho. This Brazilian teenager, who is considered to be the second alien, will definitely become the focus of world football after this UEFA Champions League, whether Alkmaar wins the championship or not. Although Ronaldinho's performance was very unstable in the first half of the season when he just joined Alkmaar, with the increase of time in Alkmaar, under Jiang Mu's **, Ronaldinho's performance has become more and more excellent, and has gradually changed from a nerve knife to the core of the team.
"This game is not wonderful, and I didn't play very well, but I'm very happy because we have been promoted. There is nothing more important for us than this. Reaching the final and winning the championship is our biggest goal this season."
Xiao Luo said this in an interview with reporters.
"They need to score three goals to advance, so we adopted the defensive counterattack. Valencia played very crazy at home, and the rush was very fast, which made our counterattack very difficult. It was not until the second half that we found a chance. An away goal calmed our hearts down. When Mason scored the first goal, I knew we were sure to win.
At this time, Ronaldinho already speaks like the core of the team and the captain, not the teenager who likes to dance, sing and go to nightclubs.
Tomasson, who scored a key goal, is also a popular target of reporters. Although Tomasson is not as dazzling and eye-catching as Ronaldinho's skills, Tomasson's calmness in front of the goal and goal efficiency are the reliable guarantee for Alkmaar's promotion.
Tomasson was obviously very dissatisfied with his attack when he played as a substitute in the previous few games. He said, "Some of your reporters are too mean. When I was a substitute in the previous few games, they said that I was finished. I didn't deserve to sit in the main position at all, but now I'm proving myself that I'm still the best striker in Alkmaar.
When the reporter asked him what he planned to do in the Champions League final, Tomason said, "The Champions League final is the dream of any professional player. I hope to start. If I can't, as long as I have the opportunity to play, I will also be very happy. I personally don't matter. The important thing is that we must do our best to win the championship."
Lai, who came on as a substitute in this game, but used his own experience to control the rhythm of the game and completed an important offensive and defensive conversion, was also interviewed. The Brazilian veteran told reporters, "The Champions League is the highest level event in the world. He can play in the semi-finals of the Champions League and advance for the team. I feel very proud of my contribution. As we all know, Alkmaar is now a strong European team, and the head coach will only send the best team to play. It's normal that I don't have many opportunities to play as a substitute in such a team, but as long as the coach asks me to play, I will definitely bring my own things to the team and help the team play a better game.
When the players were interviewed one after another, Jiang Mu closed his eyes in the locker room and calmed down his excitement and excitement. Ten minutes later, he was going to attend a press conference under the condition of advancing to the finals. The question the reporter must ask must be very tricky. Jiang Mu must be prepared and answer cautiously. The following are the two finals, the Dutch Cup and the Champions League. Jiang Mu must start preparing in advance for the next two finals from now on.
When the players walked into the locker room one after another, Jiang Mu hugged them one by one. When all the players arrived, Jiang Mu said with emotion, "Thank you, our goal has been achieved. We played hard enough in this game. In the end, we didn't win, but we won the final promotion. This is what we need most. Some time ago, I said that our goal is to score. In the UEFA Champions League final, now our goal has been achieved. As for whether we can win the championship, I don't think it's important. It's better to win the championship. It's nothing if we can't win the championship. For a team like us, it's already unbelievable to get to the finals. Next, don't have any psychological burden. Let go and play. No matter whether we win or lose, we are the most successful team this season. You are already the best, and I'm proud of you.
Jiang Mu's words won a burst of warm applause from the players. What matters is not what Jiang Mu said, but Jiang Mu's attitude makes every player feel very comfortable. Jiang Mu makes them feel that they are a family, rather than eating together temporarily.
After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he discussed the gains and losses of the game with the players. Before they finished the discussion, the fourth official asked Jiang Mu to attend the post-match press conference.
Jiang Mu handed over the work of summarizing the gains and losses to the assistant coaches and quickly left the locker room and went to the press conference hall.
Cooper has been waiting in the news hall, and now Cooper's mood has obviously been partially controlled, showing no obvious anger, frustration and disappointment.
After Jiang Mu arrived, UEFA officials announced the start of the press conference and asked Cooper to speak first.
Cooper said: "Today, bats did not spread their wings and fly. We experienced the nightmare of being eliminated. We were infinitely close to promotion, but God did not choose us in the end. I don't blame the players. We played very well in this game. We controlled the game. We created more opportunities than our opponents, once 2 :0 lead, if we play like this in the last game, we may have a chance to qualify, but football cannot be assumed.
Being eliminated does not mean that we have finished our way. There are still many goals to be achieved in the league. In the league, we are behind La Coruna and Barcelona. There is no hope of winning the championship, but we still have the task of the European League. I hope the players can wake up from the nightmare of being eliminated, play a wonderful Sunday's game, and get three points in Mestara. I also hope that Valencia fans will stand with us. Only you can get us out of the shadow of the Champions League defeat as soon as possible.
After Cooper finished speaking, he closed his eyes and sat there, as if he had fallen asleep.
Jiang Mu smiled and ignored Cooper's attitude. The winner must be more generous. He said, "I understand the difficulty of this game. The Champions League final is too important to both of us. No game can keep up with the Champions League final, so everyone may have a super level in this game. There may also be unconventional means. It turns out that the game is more difficult than I thought. We controlled the first half, but the second half of the game was once out of control. The opponent scored an extremely beautiful free kick, and we are in a very dangerous situation. As long as the opponent scored another goal, we will be Fortunately, we made the right way to deal with it at this time. The veterans Lai, Ronaldinho and Tomasson became the heroes who decided the victory. A goal calmed everyone down, and we also confirmed the victory. Klose's goal behind completely cut off the opponent's idea of counterattack.
Valencia has excellent players and coaches, their goal is also the championship, and they have a very eager desire. I believe they will soon get out of the trough and play well in the league.
When the next reporter asked questions, most of the reporters asked Jiang Mu questions, while Cooper almost became a bystander.
"Let's talk about your opponents today?" A Spanish reporter asked Jiang Mu.
"Valencia is a well-balanced team. They have a good defense, which has been reflected in the previous games. They have a strong ability to read the game, and the two sides can attack and defend well, but in this game, they must attack and score more goals, which is exactly what we need. We made good use of the gap in their backfield, and as a result, we achieved the results we needed.
"Are you afraid when your opponent scored two goals?" The Spanish reporter continued to ask Jiang Mu
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "No, if I'm afraid, why should I change to Layi instead of Enger?"
"Your players are procrastinating and cheating in the game. Is this what you arranged in the locker room?" The Spanish reporter asked unrelentingly.
"I don't know who you're talking about? Who is cheating? Why don't I know? Can you tell me?
"You have realized your dream of reaching the finals, so what do you think of the Champions League finals? Are you confident?"
A British reporter asked.
"Of course, I am confident, but the Champions League final is a very accidental game. Whether you can win or not is not all about the players and coaches.
"If Van Bomel is absent from the UEFA Champions League final, who are you going to replace him?"
"We need to discuss this slowly, but there is always a way. Alkmaar is a whole. But now I don't want to discuss the Champions League final. Let's say something else.
Jiang Mu saw that these reporters wanted to continue to ask about the Champions League final, so this matter was off. The reporters were also very interesting. They asked some questions related to this competition by Jiang Mu and Alkmaar, and the press conference was disbanded.
