amazing coach

Chapter 177

He slept in the morning, visited his disciples in the afternoon, and only in the evening did Jiang Mu start browsing the news about yesterday's game.

Feyenoord is very tenacious. Although there is basically no hope of winning the championship, they still completed the strangulation of Willem II and consolidated their second position in the standings.[..com]

Although the league champion has been confirmed, the Champions League seats are still in doubt. There are three places in the Eredivisie this season, and Alkmaar occupies one. Feyenoord has to compete with PSV, Willem II, and Ajax.

In the competition for the remaining two places, Feyenoord has an obvious advantage, but there is no guarantee that they will not be upset by other teams. They must continue to fight. Compared with the league championship, the Champions League seats are more affordable and there are more opportunities.

Big influence.

Ajax has been completely devastated by internal and external troubles. The season is not over yet. Olsen has been confirmed to be dismissed from get out of class. The record is also terrible. Next season, Ajax can only compete for a place in the UEFA Cup.

Among the relegation teams, Breda, Sparta Rotterdam, and Waalwijk are still fighting. After defeating Breda in this round, Kamble has basically escaped from the vortex. As long as he scores one more point in the next game, he can go ashore safely.

.

The entire Dutch media was full of praise for Alkmaar, who won the championship three rounds in advance.

In the Eredivisie, the championship title is basically controlled by the "traditional top three" Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV. For decades, only Alkmaar broke the monopoly of the top three in 1981 and successfully pulled out the teeth.

, this time it was Alkmaar who broke the monopoly.

In this regard, "The Telegraph" commented: After 31 rounds, Alkmaar has accumulated 78 points, 12 points ahead of the second-ranked Feyenoord. Since there are only three rounds left in the league, Alkmaar's lead is no longer possible.

Shaken, winning the championship is a foregone conclusion.

This season, the newly promoted Alkmaar team, led by Chinese coach Jiang Mu, started on a high note, but then relied on flexible tactics and stable performance to create a 24-game winning streak. It has been unbeaten in 31 rounds so far, establishing a huge lead early on.

The final victory was expected by everyone.

If this is a famous coach, this record can be called brilliant, but if this is a young Chinese coach who is only 26 years old and is coaching a professional team for the first time, then this record cannot be described as brilliant. This is a miracle in the history of football.

, is an achievement that has never been achieved before or since..."

The headline on the front page of "Daily Football" is: "Undefeated in 31 rounds, Alkmaar wins the championship", "Alkmaar has been waiting for this league lion trophy for 18 years. Their last glorious moment was

In 1981, they won the Eredivisie championship and the Dutch Cup in one fell swoop.

This is a great miracle, because last season, AZ Alkmaar was still playing in the Dutch second division. The most famous star in their team was Thomason, who was unable to play the main team at Newcastle. Their head coach was only then.

25-year-old Jiang Mu, but a year later, they became the champions of the Eredivisie and also reached the final of the Dutch Cup. It is very possible to reproduce the glory of the double championship.

Head coach Jiang Mu's ability to tap new players and his flexible tactics are the keys to Alkmaar's success. After taking office last year, Jiang Mu dug out and created a group of new players. The head coach Altidore is only a player in the Dutch second division and is currently being

The three giants in the Eredivisie are chasing the top scorer Thomason, who cannot play the main role at Newcastle United. However, this season under Louis van Gaal, he temporarily tops the scorer list with 32 league goals. Van Bomme, who was hired from Fortunasi,

Erl has also become the main force of the team's defensive midfielder, and now many wealthy clubs are competing for him. Successful examples include Didier Drogba and Kuyt. A year ago, they were still playing in the second division, and now they are all in the Eredivisie.

A member of the championship, Drogba also received a call-up to the national team.

UEFA's official website also expressed congratulations: when Real Madrid was still desperately chasing Barcelona, ​​when Lazio and AC Milan took turns to seize the highest point in Serie A, when Marseille and Bordeaux staged a double dragon show, when Manchester United and Chelsea surrounded Arsenal.

At the time of their dream of defending their title, the Eredivisie championship had been decided. AZ Alkmaar won the second Eredivisie title in history three rounds ahead of schedule. After replicating the miracle of Kaiserslautern's newly promoted team, they won the title.

It also replicated last season's miracle of Arsenal winning the title undefeated.

If the European media’s previous coverage of Alkmaar was sporadic, then this time after Alkmaar won the championship in 31 unbeaten games as a newly promoted team, the media in various European countries immediately reported this in a large space.

News, because everyone knows that this team will appear in the Champions League next year and will compete with the five major leagues such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Milan, etc.

The Times, a relatively traditional and authoritative newspaper in the UK, reported: “After Bayern won the Bundesliga championship four rounds ahead of schedule, the Eredivisie also decided on a new king. After 18 years, Alkmaar once again won the Eredivisie championship.

They also reached the Dutch Cup final.

This season, AZ Alkmaar has set many new records in succession. They became the first newly promoted team to win the Eredivisie. They broke PSV's record of 22 consecutive wins and set a new record for Ajax's 28-game unbeaten streak.

record, they scored 118 goals, creating a new Eredivisie season scoring record. The average age of their main players is only 21 years and 152 days, making them the youngest among the championship teams, and their head coach is less than 26 years old.

, is the youngest championship coach and the first Chinese coach to win the championship. Next season, they will represent the Eredivisie in the UEFA Champions League. Whether this dark horse can win honors for the Eredivisie in the European arena is a matter of all.

Fans want to know."

Spain's Mundo Deportivo said: "According to the tradition of the Eredivisie, if one or two of the top three fall, another one will inevitably rise, but this season Ajax and PSV have fallen.

Feyenoord failed to rise, and their replacement in dominating the Eredivisie was newly promoted AZ Alkmaar. This was something no one expected before the start of the season.

Judging from the configuration of this young newly promoted team, they really don’t look like a championship-winning team. The players are too young, and the head coach is even younger than the oldest player. Moreover, he is Chinese, has no stars, and the biggest name.

The stars are Thomasson, who was unable to play the main role in the Premier League, and Altidore, the best player in the Dutch second division last year. However, this newly promoted team with no experience, no stars and no connections has abruptly created a legend in football, yes.

, miracles can no longer describe them, this is a myth.

The pro-Real Madrid "Marca" commented: "Alkmaar explains what youth is, what dreams are, what confidence is, and what is impossible. Such a small town with a population of only 100,000 has made a concession.

It’s a miracle that everyone at Real Madrid is ashamed of, we must follow Alkmaar’s example and win the league title from Barcelona.”

Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" said: "Alkmaar, where Gattuso and Toni belong, won the Eredivisie championship. This is not a mainstream league and there are no big-name stars, but with the strength of a newly promoted team, it can break through the siege of the top three.

, Winning the league championship is a great miracle.

In this youth storm, Gattuso is indispensable in the defensive midfielder position. He has been spotted by the Italian coach and is likely to be called up to the national team in the next warm-up match against England to participate in the 2000 World Cup.

The European Cup is not hopeless. Tony is slightly worse, but in several key battles, Tony has scored and assisted. He is one of the heroes who won the championship, but if he wants to enter the national team, he still needs to be the main player.

struggle."

Germany's "Bild" said that Alkmaar's victory represented the emergence of a new tactical direction. The traditional Dutch play style was vulnerable to Alkmaar. Ajax, Feyenoord, Einho

Wen averaged four goals scored by Alkmaar in every game. This cannot be described as luck, it is due to strength.

The winning team is indispensable for the Germans. Klose was very successful at Alkmaar. He did not play much at the forward position, but scored a lot of goals. After the core Altidore was injured, he moved to the attacking midfielder position. As a result,

He played like a fish in water and showed great adaptability. Now Bayern and Leverkusen are interested in bringing back this German player who is good at headers and dribbling.

France’s L’Equipe commented: “A Chinese coach wins the Eredivisie title?! This is not a joke, this is a fact. In the 1998-99 season, the 25-year-old Chinese Jiang Mu led a newly promoted team with no reputation to win the Eredivisie title.

Eredivisie champions, they have also set a league record of 24 consecutive wins and 28 unbeaten games. Next season they will show their powerful attacking power and flexible tactics in the European arena.

After Jiang Mu achieved such results, some famous football stars in the Netherlands and Europe also expressed their appreciation for Jiang Mu and their admiration for Alkmaar.

The elderly Michels said: "Jiang Mu respects the Dutch football tradition and the fans' feelings. He plays pleasing and passionate football. I hope Alkmaar will continue to work hard and help the Eredivisie win another Champions League championship."

Cruyff said: "I am very happy that Jiang Mu did not become a utilitarian as he said. He was not conservative and played offensive football, averaging close to 4 goals per game. This is an incredible number.

, even Alkmaar in its heyday couldn't do it.

Beckenbauer said: I have never seen a coach with as outstanding talent as Jiang Mu. He is a true coaching genius.

The news that Jiang Mu led Alkmaar to win the championship spread to the mainland of China as quickly as possible. The media and fans throughout China were excited. The word Jiang Mu appeared on the streets, in bars and Internet cafes, at daily gatherings of friends, and after work.

The frequency is even higher than entry and World Cup.

Every Chinese fan is proud of Jiang Mu and believes that Jiang Mu has won glory for Chinese football in Europe. Even Jiang Mu's romance with Skhelinja is considered to have won glory for Chinese men. Yan Shichang, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, also
