amazing coach

Thomasson's goal put an end to the first half. The demoralized Sparta Rotterdam team was unable to organize a counterattack. Under Alkmaar's continuous attacks, they could only passively defend.

After Alkmaar scored two goals, he felt relaxed and the accuracy of his shots was reduced. He created several opportunities but failed to seize them. After a corner kick attack was cleared by Sparta Rotterdam, the referee blew the first half

The whistle that ends the game.

The Sparta Rotterdam players quickly left the stadium with their heads lowered and entered the mixed tunnel. Only the AZ Alkmaar players were left on the pitch still interacting with the fans.

Except for the first ten minutes of the first half, Alkmaar played very well. They were like a storm on offense and did not give their opponents many chances on defense. They may not have played perfectly enough, but in the first Eredivisie game

Being able to withstand pressure and perform at such a high level in the A-League is extremely rare.

Back in the locker room, Jiang Mu gave everyone a bear hug and commented on their most exciting performance in the game. Jiang Mu's very human way of praise made every player feel happy and have a sense of accomplishment, even if

Even players who haven't performed much feel like they are one of the team's heroes, not just a sideshow.

"Everyone played well in the first half and executed the tactical orders very well. Maybe now you will be thinking whether we were too careful and our opponents were no match for us. However, don't think so and don't underestimate any opponent. If we are defeated

After such an experienced opponent scores a goal, do you think it will be so easy to play in the future? Football is war, and war must seize the initiative and let the opponent follow our rhythm, rather than us adapting to the opponent's

Rhythm.”

Jiang Mu first poured cold water on the players. From the end of last season to now, Alkmaar has been invincible. Although the arrogance and arrogance cannot be seen yet, it will definitely grow secretly. In the recent period,

, Jiang Mudi always emphasized the idea of ​​guarding against arrogance and impetuosity during the communication with the team members.

"... In the first half, it seemed that we won by seizing the opponent's weakness, but in fact this was not the case, because no matter how weak the opponent's left wing was, it could not be penetrated by one attack. Our victory came from

Our hard work and active running gave us more possession of the ball and allowed us to continuously attack our opponents' weaknesses, so Sparta Rotterdam collapsed in the end. If we wanted to continue scoring goals in the second half, or guarantee

If you don't want to be overturned by your opponent, you must continue to maintain the high pressure in the first half and prevent them from having too many offensive opportunities. Okay, the following specific questions will be arranged by coach Lin Nazhou for you."

Lin Nazhou took out a notebook, which recorded the results of the first half's negotiations with Jiang Mu and the assistant coaches.

"Ahem, let me talk about the problems we had in the first half and what we need to pay attention to in the second half..."

Lin Nazhou briefly summarized some of the problems that occurred in the first half, and then focused on how the players should play in the second half. The main focus was on ball possession and how to prevent opponents from hitting behind. These are already done in normal training.

I've talked about it a lot, but this time I'm just talking about it in a targeted way based on the opponent. The specific effect still needs to be demonstrated by the players in the game.

Alkmaar kicked off the second half.

Thomason and Drogba, who were standing in the center circle, passed the ball to the backcourt. They also ran forward quickly, preparing to suppress the opponent's defense. In the second half, their task was still to suppress the opponent in their half.

In the first half, they were attacked by their opponents and conceded two goals. In the second half, Sparta Rotterdam was unwilling to continue to defend. After Alkmaar kicked off, they made a big move in the back line and played an anti-offside tactic.

Although Alkmaar's center Drogba is very explosive, his turning and speed cannot be regarded as a top shooter. In particular, he is not good at wandering between offside and not offside like Inzaghi. He just relies on his strong body and defenders.

Fight, fight your way out of the crowd, or grab the ball under the double-team of defenders to create opportunities for teammates.

Alkmaar was a little uncomfortable with the anti-offside tactics. Less than ten minutes into the second half, Drogba fell into the opponent's offside trap twice, which made Alkmaar a little frustrated.

Jiang Mu sneered when he saw this scene, and immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted to Drogba, "Didier, change positions with Thomason."

Drogba heard Jiang Mu's shout, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and made an OK gesture to Jiang Mu.

Next, opportunistic forward Thomasson came to the center, and center Drogba came to the wing where Thomasson was.

Alkmaar did not make any substitutions. This exchange of positions on the striker did not arouse too much vigilance from Sparta Rotterdam. They still greatly improved their defense and used anti-offside tactics to attack Alkmaar's half.

I want to keep more of the ball in my own hands.

Thomason is different from Drogba. He was praised as "even more Inzaghi than Inzaghi" in the later period. The essence of his technique is "grabbing points". Most of the time, he always likes to compete with the opponent.

The defenders stand on the same horizontal line. At the moment when the assisting player passes the ball, they can judge the trajectory and landing point of the ball before the opponent's defender, start quickly at the first time, and use simple and practical actions to score the goal. This is a rare opportunity.

He could always know the timing of his start. Of course, Thomason at this period was not as strong as he would later be, but this characteristic had already been shown.

The players of Sparta Rotterdam know Thomasson, but not that deeply, and even if they know it, it is of little use. You cannot not neglect a bit for ninety minutes in a game. Such players have a lot of patience, and they can

There was no performance in the eighty-nine minutes of a game, but when he appeared in front of the camera, it was often the time to seal his throat with a sword.

After Thomason came to the center, Altidore seized the opportunity and passed two passes to Thomason, but one was intercepted by the opponent's defender, and the other passed the ball, and Thomason started a little late.

, the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the second half, Sparta played much more tenaciously than in the first half, but Alkmaar, which had the advantage of home court, still had the advantage in possession of the ball, and the ball was more under the control of Alkmaar players.

With possession of the ball, there are more offensive opportunities.

In the 65th minute of the game, Drogba got the ball, and it was difficult for him to break away from the opponent's full-back with his speed, so he cut across from the wing to the center, hoping to take the opportunity to hit the goal.

Thomason in the middle walked to the side to give Drogba room to move.

Seeing Drogba, the monster, walking toward the center, the central defender, who sensed the danger, immediately came out. He wanted to flank Drogba with the forward who was following Drogba.

Drogba saw that there was little chance of shooting or breakthrough, so he passed the ball to Altidore who wanted the ball.

Altidore discovered Thomasson's movement characteristics after passing the ball in the first two passes. When Drogba passed the ball, he pulled the ball and turned around, turning a 360-degree circle and throwing it away.

The defensive player rushed over, then pushed with the arch of his foot and sent a direct pass to the back of the Sparta Rotterdam defender.

Thomasson, who was running towards the wing, seemed to have anticipated Altidore's pass in advance. Almost at the same time as Altidore passed the ball, he suddenly half-turned and ran forward, getting rid of the central defender who was guarding him.

At this time, the ball also rolled in front of him. Thomasson followed the ball to the penalty area and poked the ball before the goalkeeper hit the ball. The ball rolled from the goalkeeper's crotch into the net.

From passing the ball to shooting, Thomason touched the ball once, and the ball went in. At this time, Sparta Rotterdam's defenders raised their hands to signal that Thomason was offside. They simply couldn't imagine what happened to Thomason.

To be able to complete the breakthrough in this instant, the Danes are not very fast.

3:0!

Thomason got up and stumbled towards Altidore who passed the ball to him, but he was hijacked by Drogba halfway. African Andy Lau hugged Thomason and pushed the tall Danish

People hugged her.

At this time, please check that your teammates have also arrived. They joined in the carnival, lifted Thomason who scored twice, and threw it into the sky, venting their happiness to their heart's content.

"Thomason!"

"Thomason!"

The fans in the stands cheered the Dane's name and waved their fans' scarves in the air, turning the entire stadium into a sea of ​​red and white scarves.

"Three to zero! Alkmaar continues their journey of victory. In the previous games led by Jiang Mu, Alkmaar only had less than three goals in one game, and now the game has just passed 65 minutes. Alkmaar

Alkmaar scored three more goals, and Sparta Rotterdam will definitely work hard later, so Alkmaar will have more opportunities. Let us wait and see how they score more goals."

The commentator gave a lot of data, including not only the number of goals scored by Jiang Mu's team last season, the number of goals conceded, and the scoring time, but also the goal data of the warm-up match. Although there are computers now, the commentator

I did conduct in-depth research on Alkmaar, a newly promoted team.

Alkmaar’s former captain Maher admired Jiang Mu’s on-the-spot adaptability, saying: “Generally young coaches lack the ability to adapt on the spot, but China Jiang is obviously different. His ability to adapt on the spot is extremely strong, and he also

He dared to change the formation, and the swapping of Thomasson and Drogba just now was a stroke of genius, which shows his insight into the game and his ability to know people well."

Of course Jiang Mu couldn't see or hear Maher's comments. If he heard it, he would definitely be grinning from ear to ear. What kind of insight and understanding of people? With the "Chang'e-1", he can do it in two seconds.

He makes the most reasonable analysis of the game and comes up with the best response plan, and all he needs to do is make a decision.

Evans, the head coach of Sparta Rotterdam, has been clenching his fists so hard that he is sweating. He has been looking forward to a miracle, and his goalkeeper Dell can save the team again, because three to zero can basically cut off the victory.

The team had all hopes of equalizing, but goalkeeper Dell could no longer save Sparta Rotterdam. The ball still went in. Evans loosened his hand weakly and sighed. The game was definitely going to be lost, and he still had to try again.

To make a last-ditch effort, in the first game, facing the newly promoted team, even if they lose, they still have to score a goal. So Evans signaled his forward Richard to make preparations, and he was going to play four forwards for the final goal.

Give it a try.
