Chapter 129 Feyenoord in hot pursuit

A week later, AZ Alkmaar defeated Waalwijk 3:2 in an away game, winning the game for the eighth consecutive time. The next day, AZ Alkmaar also successfully secured Robben's transfer contract. Not much was known to the outside world.

Under the circumstances, AZ Alkmaar brought the Dutch genius Robben to his youth training camp.

Although not much is known to the outside world, it is a very sensational thing within Alkmaar. Almost everyone knows that a young genius named Robben has come to Alkmaar. The head coach Jiang Mu once went there in person.

Groningen came to invite him.[]

On the first day Robben entered the Alkmaar youth training camp, the training of the C2 age group attracted many fans, including many first-team players. They all wanted to see this genius who shocked Jiang Mu.

What's the point?

Group c refers to the age group of 13 to 14 years old, c1 refers to the group of 13 years old, and c2 refers to the age group of 14 years old.

The echelon divisions of the Alkmaar youth training camp and the Ajax training camp are basically similar. Here, the students are divided into six teams: f-e-d-c-b-a, and each two age groups are regarded as one age group, such as: e=9-10

years old (e2-9 years old, e1-10 years old), d=11-12 years old (d2-11 years old, d1-12 years old) and so on.

In addition, each age group is equipped with two head coaches (for example: one for group e2 and one for group e1) and two managers (for example: one for group e2 and one for group e1). They form an overall working group.

During training games, since the two teams are not scheduled to compete on one day, the two coaches can participate in two games to observe and learn from each other.

Jiang Mu, who was supposed to be resting, also appeared on the youth team's training ground. He chatted and laughed with Davis, the head coach of the youth team, and Zhao Guangming, the assistant coach, and watched the young players doing various trainings.

Robben has just arrived at Alkmaar and seems a little reserved, but he does every move well. In physical training, whether it is speed, strength and technical ability, Robben is obviously higher than his age group.

It's a big cut, and he doesn't look like a player of the same level.

In the ensuing group match for under-18 youth players, Robben showed a skill that stunned the fans. Without any cooperation from his teammates, the Dutch Peter Pan single-handedly defeated the opponent's wing, and the opponent used

Double-teaming by two or three people is still useless. I can only watch Robben break through, pass and shoot at lightning speed.

A game lasted for forty minutes, the score was 12:5. Robben scored 8 goals, which instantly conquered the hearts of all fans. Many fans shouted that Robben was the reappearance of an alien, thinking that he was the reappearance of an alien.

Ronaldo was just like this when he was young.

Jiang Mu also nodded secretly on the sidelines. Geniuses always have a certain "precociousness" that is unique. Robben is not only precocious in appearance, but also looks like a battle-hardened warrior in his performance in the game. He has no stage fright at all.

His speed, technique and boldness in making breakthroughs were fully demonstrated. It was impossible to tell that he was a child under 15 years old.

After the training, Jiang Mu called Robben to his side and said: "Arjan, you performed very well."

Robben felt a little shy when he heard Jiang Mu's praise, "Thank you, I haven't given my full play yet."

Jiang Mu chuckled and said, "How do you feel about them?"

Jiang Mu pointed at Robben's teammates, and Robben said: "They are not good, they are too slow, but they are better than my teammates in Groningen."

"Good boy."

Jiang Mu patted Robben on the shoulder, turned to Davis and Zhao Guangming and said, "I'll leave it to you to let Aryan jump to the national league. He needs to challenge a higher age group."

Alkmaar's youth player teaching is like this. The 9-14-year-old echelon will train and compete with teams one year older than them. Starting from the 15-year-old echelon, they will compete with domestic teams of the same age and will no longer play regional games.

level competition. Among them, students of all ages participate in technical training, tactical training (individual and overall), football rules courses, strength and running ability training, personality development, game interpretation and

The cultivation of self-study. Robben's actual age is only 14 years old and he should participate in regional competitions. However, Jiang Mu believed that Robben's participation in regional competitions was just a waste, so he let him participate in the national youth competition.

Davis was originally the assistant coach of the former head coach Van Dijk. After Van Dijk was fired, he became the head coach of the youth team without being fired. Later he learned that this was the result of Jiang Mu's recommendation, which made him

I am very grateful to Jiang Mu. After hearing what Jiang Mu said, Davis said with a smile on his face: "I understand that Robben is certainly not suitable to hang out with players of his own age. Everything will be carried out according to your training plan."

Jiang Mu nodded, and while waiting for Robben to go to the restaurant to eat, he said to Davis and Zhao Guangming: "Take some time and let's make another detailed training plan for Robben. I plan to let him participate before he turns 16."

Eredivisie."

"Before the age of 16?"

Davis was a little petrified. He was used to Jiang Mu's whimsical thoughts, but at this time he was still speechless. He was still a child at 16 years old, and participating in the professional league was a joke.

"Yes, of course not to play the main role, but just to experience it. The main purpose is to let him train in the first team, compete with these adult players, and improve his abilities."

Davis suddenly understood and said: "I understand, I understand."

Three days later, Arjen Robben continued to familiarize himself with the new training environment in the youth team. Jiang Mu led the Alkmaar first team to Heerenveen to challenge the ninth round opponent Heerenveen.

Heerenveen is not a strong team, and its results this season are not outstanding. At this moment, Alkmaar has won eight consecutive victories. The players have no doubts about winning this game. Even if it is an away game, they can win this game.

It's not a problem. They defeated PSV Eindhoven and Ajax's leaders AZ!

It has to be said that in terms of record, Alkmaar is far ahead. In terms of confidence, Alkmaar's players are already full. In terms of cooperation, Alkmaar's players are increasingly understanding each other and can often play clever coordination. In terms of personal ability,

, Heerenveen is no exception.

However, Alkmaar, who had such an idea, was given a slap in the face by their opponents at the beginning of the game - they fell behind by one goal.

The opponent's No. 6 midfielder, Alkmaar's player, couldn't even name him. But it was such a person who blasted the goal guarded by substitute goalkeeper Cesar with a long shot, and the game was only five minutes old.

None!

Losing the ball so quickly made Alkmaar's players unable to react. They were completely stunned. The first thirty minutes of the first half were miserable. Then things became normal and they blasted around Heerenveen.

Indiscriminate bombing, forward Kuyt restored the score, but the players had many problems at the moment and their condition was also bullied. As a result, at the last moment of the first half, Heerenveen seized the opportunity to score another victory. This goal almost defeated

A confident Alkmaar went to hell.

During the halftime break, Jiang Mu was furious in the locker room. He scolded the players for being slack and distracted, and immediately made substitutions, taking players off the court who were not performing well enough and were not excited enough.

In the second half, the players who had been woken up by Jiang Mu's scolding began to show off their power. They no longer gave their opponent Heerenveen a chance, and trapped them in the front of the penalty area to practice shooting. Finally, in the 55th minute of the second half, Drogba once again tied the score to 2:

2 square meters.

Then Klose, who came on as a substitute, showed off his power and scored two goals in the last 10 minutes. In the end, Alkmaar almost defeated Heerenveen 4:2 and won nine consecutive games this season.

Compared with Alkmaar's thrilling victory, Feyenoord is still stable. They defeated Rodajc 3:1 at home and also achieved 9 consecutive victories. They clung to Alkmaar and waited for Alkmaar to make a mistake.

mistake.

In the tenth round, Alkmaar's old rival Feyenoord will challenge the powerful Utrecht, while Alkmaar will challenge Nijmegen away from home. This is a very important game. Alkmaar has won 9 consecutive games.

Alkmaar has reached a period of psychological exhaustion, and their football skills are getting worse and worse than before. Now they have to hold on. Although no team can win the league championship, Alkmaar must compete.

Feyenoord held on longer so they could take the initiative in the race for the league title.

AZ Alkmaar performed really well. Under the pressure of their opponents like mad dogs, they still played at a high level. The tacit cooperation in the frontcourt allowed Thomason to score his 10th goal of the season, averaging one goal per game.

.

Then Alkmaar suffered his first red card of the season. Midfielder Van Bommel was sent off and awarded a penalty kick. However, at this time, substitute goalkeeper Cesar saved the team. His save allowed the opponent to

The penalty kick was returned in vain.

Then Alkmaar resolutely defended. Facing a team like Nijmegen, Jiang Mu still kept his dignity and continued to defend and counterattack. In the end, the players performed very well and finally won the game by relying on defense.

The only score was Thomasson's goal.

Next, Jiang Mu and the players sat on the mountain to watch the battle between Feyenoord and Utrecht. At this time, all Alkmaar fans were Utrecht supporters. They were eager to

I hope Feyenoord will fall first. They are a little exhausted from being chased by this team and cannot relax for a breath. The Dutch Cup game will start later. They will fight on two fronts. Alkmaar hopes to get rid of the opponent in advance.

However, Feyenoord performed more calmly and more passionately than Alkmaar. After falling behind by two goals, they reversed Utrecht 3:2 in the away game and also achieved ten consecutive victories, leaving Alkmaar behind.

hope was dashed.
