Chapter 185 The doorposts are finally helping us

"Ah... great save! Dudek made his first save of the game, he saved Feyenoord's goal!"

Narrator Evans yelled,

Jiang Mu waved his fist regretfully off the court. He was already ready to celebrate. He didn't expect that Altidore would get such a good shooting opportunity from the beginning, but he didn't expect that Dudek could actually take it.

This tricky cold shot pounces out.[..com]

Although regretful, Jiang Mu still applauded the players on the court and expressed his encouragement and appreciation for the team's attack. Today's players performed very well. They were more active, proactive and bold. They were not as cowardly as they were in the league championship game.

.

Benhak wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This shot was too dangerous. Fortunately, Dudek performed well, otherwise he would have fallen behind in less than a minute after the opening. This is a difficult problem. Altidore's performance today was too active.

The opponent's core is active, which is by no means a good thing. Applause for Dudek and Altidore rang out from the stands. The applause of Feyenoord fans was a little weak. If it weren't for the heroic performance of their goalkeeper, less than a minute into the game,

Maybe Feyenoord conceded the goal. And Alkmaar fans were more regretful that such a good shot was saved. This was Altidore's last game at Alkmaar. In

The Spanish reporters in the press box were even more frightened, as they could see clearly from above.

This unexpected shot and save made the fans and players quickly get into the mood, and the rhythm of the game suddenly became brighter.

Alkmaar quickly took a corner kick and the ball was pushed out by a Feyenoord player.

Cruz, who was in the midfield, dodged Gattuso and raised his foot to stop the football in the air. Gattuso missed the ball. But as soon as he turned around, the Italian came closer again.

Seeing Gattuso like this, the Feyenoord fans in the stands immediately booed him. Only two people in Alkmaar could get heartfelt boos from the fans of the three giants, and one was Gattuso.

Tuso, one is Van Bommel.

Gattuso's persistent pursuit makes Dutch fans the most angry. They originally disdain Italian football. Ajax's youth training camp clearly aims to prevent Italianization, but Gattuso is exactly the representative of Italian football.

, the defense is unscrupulous, stalking, tough-minded, but the defensive skills are still very good, leaving the opponent's core players helpless.

Van Bommel is hated by the fans because he is too black and bad. He intercepts violently, confronts violently, disrespects the fans, and speaks dirty words. Many famous players are so angry with him that they want to beat him.

Gattuso interfered with Cruz from behind, but the Argentine was not a vegetarian. He used his body advantage to protect the football and looked up to find the path for the ball. However, Cruz thought too simply. He is now in the midfield.

Rather than in the frontcourt, where Gattuso would allow him to pass the ball easily, Cruz's ankle was stepped on by Gattuso as soon as he saw the position of his companion. The foot was not heavy, but it was enough.

This affected the passing of the ball. The ball did not reach the feet of Nikov, whom Cruz wanted to pass to. It was deflected several meters, and the center back Martens intercepted the ball.

At this time, the wing was not too crowded. Martens passed the ball to Kronkamp. After receiving the ball, Klonkamp moved forward quickly. After taking a few steps, Feyenoord midfielder Tinini

Ao rushed over.

Kronkamp knew that this position was unsafe and that the opponent would not be charged if he dared to commit a foul, so he accelerated forward and rushed to the side of the opponent's penalty area, which would be a greater threat.

At this time, Kronkamp saw that because the ball had been on this side for too long, the opponent's players were leaning this way, and Kuyt's side was empty, so he turned the ball and passed it towards Kuyt.

As soon as Kuyt had a good shot, Suleiman came in from behind him at high speed and passed the opponent's oncoming full-back.

Kuyt passed an overhead ball without hesitation, passing the ball from the full-back's head to Suleiman who came in.

After more than a season of running-in with Kuyt, Suleiman and Kuyt now have a good understanding. He didn't look back, he just ran forward. When the ball appeared in his sight, Suleiman was almost at the bottom line.

Suleiman hooked the ball with his foot. The ball fell on the ground and rolled forward to the baseline. When it was about to leave the baseline, Suleiman followed up with a kick and swept the football into the penalty area.

This attack was simple, fast and fierce, and the Feyenoord people who had just defended the corner kick were a little confused.

Suleiman passed the ball too fast, and neither Van Bomela, who wanted to grab the ball, nor the defender, who wanted to clear the ball, touched the ball.

Thomason wandered into the center and appeared behind Drogba like a shadow. Drogba attracted the attention of Feyenoord center back David Dehaan. Van Wendren did not kick the ball when he made a clearance. Thomason

Scoop shot directly from the line of the small penalty area!

Alkmaar's quick attack once again put Feyenoord's goal in danger. The only person who could help them at this time was Polish goalkeeper Dudek.

Almost at the same time as Thomason, Thomason made a shovel shot, and he fell down quickly. At the last moment, Dudek blocked the ball with his body. Thomason sat on the ground and couldn't believe Dudek.

Dirk actually blocked the goal he was determined to win. You know, when he shot.

Jiang Mu also held his head with both hands. This Dudek is really a genius. He actually blocked Alkmaar's inevitable goal twice in less than two minutes. It's really incredible.

The Feyenoord fans here were still in shock, and the experienced Feyenoord players launched a quick counterattack.

The ball blocked by Dudek was kicked by the central defender and rolled to the feet of defender Van Gober. The extremely fast defender pushed the ball forward, accelerated and ran wildly, and soon rushed out of the player's final zone.

Around the dense penalty area, he went straight to Alkmaar's half.

Suleiman kept chasing after him, but he got further and further away.

Center back Ismail quickly defended to the side, and Martens returned to the center.

But today, the central defender arranged by Jiang Mu did not have any speed. Ismael sprinted to the flank with all his strength, but was left behind by Van Gober.

"Single goal! Single goal! Van Gober broke into the Dragon Pool alone! All the players in Alkmaar were left behind by him. At this moment, only Martens was left in the middle, and Feyenoord did not have any players who could keep up with Van Gober.

Gobert’s speed. Cruise is still behind, and Nikov and Van Vosen are further back. Will Van Gobert choose to cut inside and shoot, or wait? This will determine the success or failure of this attack..."

However, Van Gober did not cut inside or wait. He ran diagonally from the wing and inserted diagonally into the penalty area along the corner of the penalty area, forming a single-handed approach to the meeting.

Goalkeeper Silva did not wait in front of the goal. The opponent posed less of a single threat. He quickly attacked and blocked Van Gobel's shooting angle.

At this moment, Van Gobel was dribbling too fast and had no way to make a fake move. He could only shoot the top of the goal.

Silva raised his hand to intercept, but missed the close shot. Fortunately, due to Silva's interference, the ball hit the crossbar.

The loud 'bang' sound was as sweet as a fairy tune to Silva's ears, and his heart suddenly fell from his throat back to his chest.

The mood on the court quickly dropped. Alkmaar, who was feeling regretful, shouted lucky, while the Feyenoord fans who were shouting lucky shouted bad luck.

"call!"

Jiang Mu let out a long breath and said to Lin Nazhou, whose face was still a little pale: "Fortunately, the goalposts finally started to help us."

"I still hope I won't be so lucky." Lin Nazhou began to worry about his bonus.

"It's okay. The goalkeeper is very dedicated. He only likes to help one team in a game." Jiang Mu joked with a smile. In fact, he was not sure about his psychology.

The game continued tensely, and five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Feyenoord only had one shot, while Alkmaar had two.

All three shots were very threatening. If it weren't for the bravery of the goalkeeper or the help of the goalpost, the score would have become 2:1.

"This 10-minute game can be summarized in two sentences, which are 'Champions require luck' and 'a good goalkeeper is equivalent to half the team'. If Alkmaar's luck is as bad as the last time they won the league title

, they are already behind now, if Feyenoord does not have Dudek, they can only surrender now, and the score of 2:0 will make the championship lose suspense." Commentator Evans sighed.

"It can't be said that luck accompanies the strong. The spirit of Alkmaar today is incomparable to that time. They have matured a lot. The goalkeeper itself is part of the team's strength. Overemphasis will only cause the team to suffer

of division." Lanerid said.

"Compared with the frontcourt lineup, Alkmaar's back line is really unstable. The most stable one here is probably the right back Kronkamp. The two center backs Ismael and Martens don't cooperate well.

Suleiman is stronger in offense than defense. He may be better at left midfielder than left back. This time he was beaten one-on-one because the defense was too far forward. In fact, Lucio might be better off playing.

I don’t know what Jiang Mu’s consideration was in letting Ismael and Martens partner up.”

Lane Reid continued his analysis.

"Maybe Jiang Mu wants to give Martens some compensation. After all, Martens is 30 years old and has been moved from the main force to the bench. He doesn't know how many times he will play next season," Evans said.

"Now it seems that this explanation is the only one that is reliable, but the head coach is unreliable. No one knows what he thinks. Although this defense line is average, their two midfielders are very powerful, Van Bommel and Gattuso.

It is the top configuration in the Eredivisie. Although PSV's Cocu is strong, he is only one person." Ranelid said.

"Yes, in fact, this season Jiang Mu's victory at Alkmaar was due to the two midfielders. It is because these two midfielders covered the entire midfield and entangled the opponent's core, they were able to

They played so well. In fact, the French team won the championship last year because they had a strong midfielder and defender, but their forward line was actually rubbish."

Evans and Lane Reid talked about the defensive midfielder who is rarely mentioned in the media. Their views are actually very correct. The victory of Alkmaar was not Thomasson who scored 33 goals and Drogba who scored more than 20 goals.

It's their strong defense, but because they conceded a lot of goals, they were ignored by the media and fans. They didn't know that these goals were conceded after taking a big lead.

The Dutch media are more willing to predict the wonderful performances of the front three and the attacking midfielders, but are not interested in hyping the defensive midfielders. It's not that they don't understand football, but because the fans want to see wonderful coordination and wonderful goals, not Van Bommel

Do the dirty work with Gattuso.
