amazing coach

The top 32 matches of the Dutch Cup are over. Except for those who played against each other, most of the Eredivisie top teams passed easily without any upsets. It is even more impossible for a dark horse like the Oriental Dragons to appear last season. In the five major leagues, cup competitions have always been the most popular.

It is a hotbed of upsets, but in the Eredivisie, the Dutch Cup has always been forbidden by the three giants. From 1964 to now, only AZ Alkmaar broke the monopoly of the big powers and won the Dutch Cup once in 1981.

After this round of the Dutch Cup, many media seemed to have discovered signs that this season seemed to have a historical reincarnation, and they all discussed the possibility of Alkmaar winning the double crown.[]

A month ago, even though Alkmaar had been winning, there was still no connection between the double champion and Alkmaar. No one believed that Alkmaar could win the double crown as a newly promoted team. But after ten rounds, Alkmaar

Mal not only won ten consecutive victories, but also left Ajax and PSV, the two most powerful opponents, far behind. Only Feyenoord now threatens Alkmaar's top spot, but Feyenoord

Yenoord has not won a championship in five years, and its strength is slightly worse than Ajax and PSV. Alkmaar has much greater hope of defeating Feyenoord.

Alkmaar's head coach Jiang Mu has never concealed his ambitions. After the third round of the Dutch Cup, Jiang Mu openly talked about Alkmaar's goals in the Dutch Cup.

"Successfully reaching the top 16 is only our minimum requirement. Our next goal is to reach the final. There are four games left to win the championship. The Dutch Cup is more risky than the league, but it is also easier. We will not

Give up the Dutch Cup."

Alkmaar's players responded to Jiang Mu one after another and expressed their desire to win the double crown. Perhaps because of the upcoming battle with Feyenoord, the Alkmaar club officials did not make any statement about Jiang Mu's championship claims.

After the Dutch Cup, the focus of the media was on the battle between AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord.

Although it is still far away from the end of the league, and talking about winning the championship is just a gimmick, the game between Alkmaar and Feyenoord is definitely no less than the battle of Tianwangshan. From this season alone, it has surpassed

A duel between the three giants of the Netherlands.

But after playing in the Dutch Cup, Jiang Mu began to relieve pressure on his players and fans. He talked about this game in a column in the Telegraph:

"I hope the players and fans, including club officials, will not take this game too seriously. It is of course hypocritical to say it is an ordinary game, but we cannot overestimate the value of this game because the winner can only take away three games."

points, and the league is still very long, I think the importance of this game is mainly psychological rather than practical.

"If we lose this battle, will we admit defeat and recognize Feyenoord as Eredivisie champions? Of course not, absolutely not, and by the same token, if Feyenoord lose the game, they won't

Will admit defeat, the three-point gap is very small, and it can be recovered in one game. One second of negligence can ruin a game. Since even Ajax and PSV are not giving up, what can we expect?

Is it all accomplished in one battle?"

Jiang Mu's words have long been said in the team. During this period of time, Jiang Mu's main thing to watch out for in the team is the players' arrogance and eagerness for success. This kind of emotion is terrible. Young people are originally

Just being emotional, if you still have this kind of arrogance and eagerness for success, you will be defeated when you encounter some weak teams. A fierce attack may solve the problem, but when you encounter a wily and powerful enemy like Feyenoord, it is very likely that you will be defeated.

It will lead to a complete defeat and even affect his plan to win the championship.

However, despite Jiang Mu's strict defense, the young man's character was still difficult to change. Two days before the start of the 11th round, Jiang Mu came to the training ground early, and together with several assistant coaches, he personally packed up training equipment and balls, and prepared some daily necessities.

After they packed up these things, the players were almost here. Jiang Mu counted the personnel and found that Kuyt, Van Bommel and Kronkamp had not arrived yet. Jiang Mu looked at the time and saw that there were still five minutes left before the start.

Training, nothing was said.

But five minutes later, Kronkamp, ​​Van Bommel and Kuyt still hadn't arrived. Jiang Mu was a little annoyed. Just as he was about to call them, he found a golf car driving into the course. The car belonged to Kronkamp and Van Bommel.

Iter and Kronkamp got out of the car.

Jiang Mu said nothing, silently watching the three people hurriedly changing clothes and shoes to prepare for training, and counting the time for them.

Originally, Jiang Mu only wanted to mention this matter in a few words during the summary after training. After all, it was just a little late, so there was no need to criticize it in a big way.

But after the training started, Jiang Mu found that that was not the case. The three of them were sloppy in their steps, yawning constantly, and their reactions and physical fitness were obviously different from usual. Jiang Mu could see this with the naked eye without using the Chang'e-1 test.

"You three go to the locker room and sleep for an hour. I'll wake you up when you come back."

Jiang Mu rudely stopped the training and asked Kronkamp, ​​Kuyt and Van Bommel to go to the locker room to rest, because it was obvious that the three of them stayed up late.

Bar, pick up girls, drink, do drugs.

"Coach us..."

"Go to the locker room! I'll explain later!"

Hearing Jiang Mu ask them to go to the locker room to sleep, the three Van Bommel's faces suddenly turned pale. Team deputy Van Bommel wanted to explain to Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu interrupted him with almost a growl.

Jiang Mu was very angry about this matter. He did not expect that in the early stage of such a crucial game, the three generals he relied on most would stay up all night. It seemed that he trusted them too much.

Van Bommel, Kuyt and Kronkamp walked out of the team dejectedly and walked to the locker room without saying a word. Judging from the faces of the three people, they were quite frightened by Jiang Mu's anger.

The remaining players continued to train. Assistant coach Lin Nazhou, who was standing between several courts, advised: "Jiang, don't take it too seriously, young people. It's normal to go out clubbing. Just give them a warning. They are already doing well."

.”

Lin Nazhou's words are not unfounded. The Netherlands is a very open country. Selling money and taking soft drugs are legal. It is normal for young people to hang out in bars and have parties.

Many players from other Dutch teams have sex parties, race cars, drink and engage in scandals, causing headaches for the head coach. Jiang Mu has the most young players, and their income and reputation are much higher than those of players from other clubs, but so far he is the No. 1 player.

I discovered for the first time that nightlife affected training.

"Such things cannot be tolerated. Young people must also take responsibility for their actions." Jiang Mu said coldly. He did not lower his voice deliberately, and the players could hear it clearly.

"But the game is the day after tomorrow, so it's not good to make such a big fanfare. Even if the players have no objections, reporters outside can see it. Once it is publicized, it is likely to have a great adverse impact on us." Lin Nazhou continued.

He advised in a low voice.

"Reports are reports. Since everything has been done, why worry about reporters and fans saying that they don't want to play and there are substitutes. If substitutes don't work, I will use players from the second team. I have even coached amateur players. I am still worried.

No one uses it?"

Jiang Mu finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore and said something to Linna Zhou in front of the players.

Seeing that Jiang Mu was too emotional, Lin Nazhou shook his head and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the locker room and see them. I guess it's hard for them to sleep at this time."

Lin Nazhou went to the locker room. Jiang Mu continued to train with the players with a dark face. Most of the players saw Jiang Mu angry for the first time. They were all scared into silence. They all trained hard and did every move to the extreme.

Try your best to avoid being used as a punching bag by Jiang Mu.

When there were about ten minutes left before the end of training, Jiang Mu explained something to Boden and then went to the locker room himself.

In the visiting team's locker room, the three of Van Bommel were fast asleep, and Lin Nazhou sat at the door to look out for them.

Seeing Jiang Mu come in, Lin Nazhou said: "Jiang, here's the thing. Yesterday was Van Bommel's girlfriend's birthday, and they stayed in the bar for a little longer. It affected today's training."

Jiang Mu sat down next to Lin Nazhou and said, "Uncle Lin, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now."

Lin Nazhou laughed and said: "What are you talking about? I know you are in a bad mood. The team is facing a big battle. As the head coach, you have taken on more pressure, so you might as well vent it."

Jiang Mu sighed and said: "Uncle Lin, you are right, they have actually done a good job, but I overestimated their self-control."

"Haha, it's like you overestimated your self-control. In fact, you were too angry today and lost control. It's not a good thing to play against Feyenoord with such a mentality." Lin Nazhou laughed.

He talked about himself with Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu was stunned, smiled, and said: "It's true what you said. No wonder some old coaches are not optimistic about our prospects of winning the championship. The players who have just won ten consecutive victories don't know their last names. If they are like

AC Milan and Arsenal are undefeated in more than 50 games, but these players still have to go to heaven."

Seeing Jiang Mu relax, Lin Nazhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How are you going to deal with them? The role of these three people in the team is very important."

Jiang Mu said: "They must be punished for this. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, how will the team be managed in the future? I want them to play as substitutes in this game and give them thirty or forty minutes to let them understand their own weight."

"Okay, I support your opinion. I hope the three little guys can bear it." Lin Nazhou also knew that such a matter could not be settled.

"If they can't bear it, they have to bear it. This game is a baptism on their growth path. If they can't bear it, I don't think they will have much future." Jiang Mu said lightly. At this moment, he had already

I was able to control my emotions and started to talk about football and life very calmly.
