amazing coach

Trondheim is the first capital of Norway, where kings of all generations have been crowned. Trond means coronation, Herm means home, and together they mean coronation place. Today's Trondheim is Norway's capital.

Trondheim is the third largest city and the center of science and technology, known as the Silicon Valley of Norway, and Trondheim is also a university town. In this small town of 140,000 people, there is one college student for every five people.

Alkmaar's second Champions League game was played in this ancient city. In order to prepare for this game, Alkmaar took a flight to Trondheim one day in advance. They were accompanied by more than 4,000 Dutch fans.

Fans from other countries are hard to count.

Alkmaar has been very popular recently, but his influence is mainly in the Chinese circles in the Netherlands and Europe. There are not many Chinese in Scandinavia. When Jiang Mu led the team, except for more than a hundred people in Norway,

There were Chinese, Dutch, and Norwegian reporters, and there were no other fans or reporters to pick up the plane. Rosenberg’s influence was incomparable to Dortmund. At this time, European reporters were all going to cover the games of the giants, and no one would go there.

Run to Norway in the Arctic Circle.

Alkmaar is also happy to enjoy the peace and quiet, and take a bus to browse this small city easily. The quaint cobblestone alleys and buildings made of logs are a bit rough, but they have the antiquity and majesty of a Nordic city, plus they are full of legends.

The colorful Trondheim Bay reminds you that you have entered the dusty memory of the Vikings.

Ronaldinho listened to the music, sat next to Jiang Mu, and said with a smile: "Coach, it doesn't look too cold in September. I thought the temperature would be below zero?"

"I don't know. This place is located at the intersection of the Nider River and the Trondheim Fjord. The temperature is about the same as that of the Netherlands." Jiang Mu has never been to Norway. This was a temporary make-up when collecting information on Rosenberg before the game.

Norwegian defender Riise said: "Fortunately it's Trondheim, not Trondheim, otherwise we would have really gone to the Arctic Circle to play the game. The sun should have set there by now, but here everyone has to get used to it. There won't be anything in the afternoon.

The day of sunrise.”

Jiang Muchao: "These objective conditions are very important, but they are not the decisive factor. We played a warm-up match against Rosenberg last time here. This is a very favorable factor for us. We still have to use our strength to conquer

Opponent, you know very well whether they are good or not. We must give 100% effort to win this game."

Drogba came over and said: "It seems that Boavista is the weakest in this group. If we beat Rosenberg, we will be almost there."

"That's nonsense." Jiang Mu said sternly, "Don't have this kind of thinking. No one in this group is weaker. No one knows how the other is like without a real fight."

Drogba was scolded so stupidly that he scratched his head and stopped talking.

Jiang Mu continued: "Our goals are ambitious, but we are weak. If we want to achieve our goals, we must treat every opponent as a knockout, so that we can go further. The status and other things, this is the responsibility of a wealthy team.

Power, we just win all the balls we have to win."

While everyone was talking, the car drove to the hotel they had booked. The players got out of the car, filed into the hotel, took a break and prepared for lunch, and then went to Rosenborg's home stadium Lekendall Stadium for adaptive training.

The afternoon training was mainly about practicing defending high-altitude balls. Facing a team whose average height is eight centimeters higher than theirs, Alkmaar's biggest difficulty is air defense. As long as they can prevent the Norwegian's aerial bombing, they will have a great chance of winning.

There is a high possibility that the Norwegians cannot compete with them in ground attack. The main reason why they lost in the summer warm-up match was because they failed to guard against Rosenberg's high-altitude bombing.

Because of the presence of Norwegian international Riise, Alkmaar's training attracted a lot of Norwegian fans and some reporters who visited the camp. However, Alkmaar did not hide its training intentions. The game with Rosenborg should be very exciting.

Transparent, everyone knows where their own advantages are and what their opponents’ strengths are.

Although Norwegian fans are tall and powerful, they are very well-behaved. There are no football hooligans like the British and Turkish fans. They are more civilized than the Dutch fans. Some beautiful moves by Ronaldo, Lucio and others also attracted a lot of attention.

applause.

At the press conference before the game, Jiang Mu brought Riise along with him.

At the meeting, when the Norwegian media said that they wanted to repeat the victory in the warm-up match, Jiang Mu once again cautiously affirmed the difficulty of the game, but did not admit that he would lose. He said: "We are the Eredivisie champions, and Rosenborg is the Norwegian champion."

Super 7 champions, the two teams are on the same level. Whoever wins can win. For us, we can accept a win or a draw as long as we don’t lose. In the summer warm-up match, we played against Rosenborg.

In a warm-up match, we lost 1:3. That match had a lot of reference factors for both of us, because we didn’t know we would be in the same group as the opponent at the time, but I believe the score in that match won’t happen.

In this game."

In the last game against Dortmund, Norwegian defender Riise scored a long-range shot to kill the Bundesliga giants, which also opened the door for him to the national team. In this game against his homeland team, he still maintained his support.

from one’s own team’s perspective.

"Rosenberg is a great club. Although the Norwegian Super League is not a famous league, I know that the Norwegian league is not easy to play. It is not easy to win the championship here for seven consecutive years. I will definitely play against them.

It will be difficult, as the warm-up matches in the summer also proved, but I believe we will win the game this time and hope to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League with Rosenborg."

If Rosenborg represents the Norwegian league, then head coach Niels Arne Egen represents the entire Rosenborg.

When Rosenborg won the Norwegian Super League for the first time in 1967, Arne Egan was a member of the team. Four years later, he guided the team to achieve a league and cup double in 1971; during his third time coaching Rosenborg, he

He dragged Rosenborg, who was stuck in the second tier at the time, back to the top; after his return in 1988, he directed Rosenborg to two double championships. The last time was from 1992, and he led the team out of control.

Achieve 7 consecutive championships.

Arne Egan also surprised the big-name European teams. In December 1996, he led his team to defeat AC Milan of Italy at the San Siro Stadium and then advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. A year later, his team

They also defeated the La Liga giants Real Madrid 2:0. They have played in eight UEFA Champions League group stages for 7 consecutive seasons, and with their record in the Champions League and the huge bonuses they received, they have consolidated Rosenborg's dominance in the domestic league.

.

Such a coach must be confident and strong. Arne Egan is such a person. He said at the press conference before the game: "Thank you Rise for your blessing, and thank you Coach Jiang for your praise. Compared with Holland,

A, the Norwegian Super League is much less famous and powerful, but in Lekendal, we are confident of winning. I support Riise's statement that we and Alkmaar can qualify in Group C, but in this game we will

win."

Both teams are full of confidence in their own teams. Arne Egan believes that they will definitely win. Jiang Mu believes that they are at least undefeated. The bookmaker's statement is obviously more objective because it is related to the money in their pockets.

, in the handicap they opened for this game, the initial odds of William Hill Data Company's win and draw were 2.75, 3.20, 2.60. Alkmaar's win odds increased significantly, and Rosenborg's win odds dropped significantly. William Hill's odds

The choice represents the attitude of most data companies, which is that they are optimistic about Rosenborg's victory. After all, Alkmaar is a new team in the Champions League, while Rosenborg is an old player and still plays at home.

The game kicks off at 8:45pm local time.

Because Alkmaar's legendary record in the past year has been spread throughout Europe, and the Dutch team also has their popular star Riise, the fans were enthusiastic about this game, and Lekendal, which can accommodate 28,000 people, was overcrowded.

, there are still many fans outside who cannot buy tickets.

In this game, Jiang Mu arranged a 433 formation, with goalkeeper Silva, four defenders including Riise, Lucio, Ismail, and Kronkamp, ​​and three midfielders including Gattuso, Van Bommel and En.

Coe, the three forwards are Ronaldinho, Thomason and Kuyt.

Before the game started, when the starting list of players was announced, everyone thought Ronaldinho was playing as an attacking midfielder. But when the real game started, people were surprised to find that Ronaldinho was actually standing in the midfield.

He moved to the right winger position.

This really surprised everyone.

The on-site commentator shook his head repeatedly and said: "Jiang Mu's formation is so bold and unbelievable. Among the coaches I have seen, this Chinese coach is the only one who is miraculous. The other coaches' miraculousness lies in their records.

Chinese Jiang's formation is also very magical. He is simply a magician. Ronaldinho actually plays on the right wing, which is really unexpected. And Thomasson becomes the center and Drogba is the substitute, which may be the case.

Jiang Mu hopes to use Nordic players to deal with Nordic defenders. After all, Drogba is not familiar with Norwegian defenders, and his body is not an advantage compared to Norwegian defenders."

Arne Egan stood on the sidelines and shook his head repeatedly. His eyes changed when he looked at Jiang Mu, because this Chinese made him confused. Three defensive midfielders and Ronaldinho playing as a winger were all out of the blue.

To his surprise, many of his pre-game arrangements were used in the open space. Now he can only see how his opponent's arrangements perform.

After the game started, Ronaldinho showed an astonishing tactical understanding. In a position he had never played before, he gave full play to his speed and skills, and the entire right wing became his.

In the world, Kronkamp used to be as important as the right midfielder as the main attacker, but now he has become the soy sauce. He only needs to create a gap for Ronaldinho and act as a wall.

The Norwegian players were a little confused, because in order to defend Ronaldinho, the coach put all his troops in the middle, and the wings were always very wide. Jiang Mu put Ronaldinho, who combines skills, speed and agility, on the wings just right.

Rosenberg's crotch, after the opening, Alkmaar quickly gained the upper hand with Ronaldinho's performance on the wing.
