Chapter 239 The Battle of the Leaderboard

Piao Tian Literature After beating Dortmund as usual, Alkmaar faced a tough challenge from PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.

This is a real battle for the top spot.

Ajax is still in the doldrums this season. Feyenoord has lost its energy in the Champions League, but has lost the stability of last season in the league. They won one game and lost one, and were gradually dropped by AZ Alkmaar by 10 points.

With Alkmaar's stable state, being pulled out of the ten-point gap is basically equivalent to withdrawing from the championship competition.

PSV, on the other hand, had one loss and one draw in 10 rounds, playing quite well. Now they are only three points less than Alkmaar, but their goal difference is nine more than Alkmaar, scoring more goals in almost every round.

One goal, if Alkmaar loses in this game, the top spot will change hands.

In the long league, temporarily losing the top spot is not terrible, but now Alkmaar has almost become a symbol of unbeaten. Once a loss occurs, it will have a huge impact on the morale of the players and fans, and may even lead to a devastating defeat.

, Jiang Mu had to guard against it.

The rise of PSV this season is closely related to their head coach Graetz. If Robson is an idealist, then Graetz is a realist. He does not prefer to reuse young people like Robson, nor is he very

As much as he values ​​fame, he values ​​players' ability and experience.

This season he recruited PSV's former hero Heinz back from the Bundesliga.

Heinz is not tall, only 170 centimeters, and is famous for his fierce fighting and active assists. In 1988, he experienced the glorious era of PSV. That year, under the young and promising head coach Hiddink

Under the leadership of the team, after winning the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup, Heinz and his teammates worked together to defeat the powerful Portuguese Benfica team and win the European Champions Cup at the Nekal Stadium in Stuttgart, Germany. This made the team's history

Winning the "Triple Crown".

At this time, Heinz was already 36 years old. Graetz actually signed a contract with him until 2002. This made many people in Eindhoven dissatisfied, thinking that Graetz was using power for personal gain, but Graetz soon proved that he

correct.

Although Heinz is 36 years old, his ferocious tackles and active running assists are still the same as when he was young. There is no physical problem at all. His experience has allowed him to assist PSV many times to break the deadlock.

It can be said that he is one of the players with the most dazzling performance in the first ten rounds.

The 21-year-old Danish player Romedal is another great discovery of Gretz. Although Romedal came to Eindhoven last season, he was not reused by Robson. This season, Gretz brought him to Eindhoven.

Romedal was placed in the main position and gave full play to his offensive role. Romedal also repaid Gretz with outstanding results. He assisted eight goals in 10 league rounds and scored 5 goals. He became the right winger.

The most terrifying sharp knife on the road.

In addition, the backcourt all-rounder Bouma has also grown up this season. Bomar can play as a center back, left back, and left midfielder. He is fast, good at dribbling, and has solid defense. He is a panacea for Gretz in emergencies.

Veteran Nelis, who was originally planning to transfer, also stayed. He and Ruud van Nistelrooy are still the sharpest attacking combination in the Eredivisie.

Before this big battle with Alkmaar, Belgium coach Gretz said that this was a battle that would determine the direction of the league.

"I dare not say that we are the strongest team in the Eredivisie outside of Alkmaar, but we are definitely the team in the best condition outside of Alkmaar. The points can speak for themselves best. This is a reflection on our work.

Definitely. This league is very important to us and the entire Eredivisie. If we, even at our best, cannot hold back Alkmaar, there may be no suspense about the championship this season. This is a disservice to the Eredivisie.

, fans need suspense and excitement."

Jiang Mu didn't want to be the target of public criticism. It felt like being roasted on the stove. He immediately refuted Gretz on the TV station and said: "There has been no suspense in the Eredivisie for hundreds of years. The champion has always been PSV Eindhoven and Aja.

We have just won the Eredivisie championship, and some people say that it has hurt the Eredivisie. This is very shameless. I hope those who say this will read history. I think we won the championship.

Breaking the monopoly of the top three is in the best interest of the fans."

Although Jiang Mu used the word shameless, Gretz did not argue with Jiang Mu. He is a very smart person. He knows that it is not worthwhile to have a war of words with a young man like Jiang Mu, because Jiang Mu no matter what

Fans and the media will forgive him if he makes inappropriate remarks. After all, he is only 26 years old. If he speaks as openly as Jiang Mu, he will definitely be criticized by the media and fans. Benhak last season was one

A good example. What he should do now is to block Alkmaar. Only in this way can Jiang Mu's reputation and status in the Eredivisie be damaged.

The 11th round of the Eredivisie will be held on October 31 at Alkmaar’s home stadium of Dehoot.

After the game started, Eindhoven, playing away from home, set up a 442 formation with a balanced offensive and defensive balance. The front line was composed of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nilis, and the four midfielders were Romedal, Bouma, Vogel, and Boucher.

Rukink, back four: Addo, Oyer, Hovland, Heinz, goalkeeper, Watruss.

Alkmaar has a 433 formation. All the main players who have been rested before are on the field. Goalkeeper Cesar, the four defenders are Kronkamp, ​​Lucio, Ismail, and Riise; the three midfielders are Van Bommel.

, Gattuso, Rai Yi, three forwards: Drogba, Ronaldinho, Kuyt.

This is the strongest lineup when Alkmaar mainly plays the 433 lineup. This lineup has already shown its power in the Champions League promotion battle. This lineup also shows that Jiang Mu will win this game.

determination.

After the game started, Alkmaar dominated the attack. Ronaldinho and Kuyt tore apart PSV's defense on the two wings. Full-backs Kronkamp and Riise often appeared in the 4-4-2 formation as the midfielders.

In the position where he should appear. The veteran Rai Yi is in the middle to connect and connect the left and right sides, and also inserts into the front of the penalty area to attack from time to time. However, you cannot count on Rai Yi when defending. After all, he is 34 years old, and he is not a sea player.

Intz, a physical maniac like Zanetti. But it is enough to have Gattuso and Van Bommel in the backcourt. As long as Van Bommel does not intervene in the offense, the opponent will not say that they want to break through Alkmaar's defense, but they will just want to double back.

This is a big price to pay for your waist.

However, Gretz's arrangement of this game is also very targeted. Ruud Ruud, who scored 31 goals last season and has not yet won the top scorer, is at the front. The future king of the small penalty area needs at least two players to watch.

Live, and beside him is the smart and slippery Nilis, so Alkmaar's defense has to be extra cautious.

However, the biggest headache for Jiang Mu is the speed of midfielder Romedal. If Alkmaar wants to attack, it is inevitable to leave a large gap in the backcourt. At this time, Romedal's speed will appear very fast.

Fatal, at this time it is also a question whether Alkmaar's left back Riise assists or defends. In Jiang Mu's system, the full back's offense is not an embellishment, but a part of the offensive system.

After the game started, Eindhoven's defensive counterattack also confirmed Jiang Mu's worries.

Alkmaar put Drogba in the middle, not expecting Drogba to break through PSV's defense alone, but hoping that the two wingers would open up PSV's defense and then form a strong attack in the middle.

, if the wing cannot break through, there is no chance for a strong attack in the middle. Hovland and Oyer are both powerful defenders. They need to be physical and conscious. Although Drogba is strong, he cannot deal with it alone.

The two central defenders are just like Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is too strong to deal with Lucio and Ismail.

On the wing, Kuyt and Addo are evenly matched. Whoever beats depends on his condition. Ronaldinho is Alkmaar's trump card.

However, it is impossible for Gretz not to study the shocking performance of Ronaldinho in the Champions League. Although the veteran left back Heinz is 36 years old, his physical fitness and explosive power are no worse than those of young people, and at the same time, his experienced

Like an old monster, the 19-year-old Ronaldinho is obviously a little too young to kill such an old monster.

Heinz was already on guard against Ronaldinho's fake moves. He knew he couldn't guess Ronaldinho's fake moves, so he didn't try to guess. He followed Ronaldinho closely and didn't let Ronaldinho get the ball.

Even a magician can't do magic without giving him props.

If Ronaldinho retreats to get the ball and dribbles it over, Heinz will immediately call on his teammates, and two or even three people will help defend Ronaldinho, making Ronaldinho's breakthrough ineffective. If once his teammates fail to help defend,

, Heinz made a decisive foul and would rather give Alkmaar a free kick than destroy Ronaldinho's breakthrough.

The game lasted for nearly 15 minutes. Ronaldinho did not even make a successful pass or cut inside. Ronaldinho, who had always been invincible before, seemed a little impatient because he was not happy with the offense. He returned to the backcourt to get the ball and wanted to force a breakthrough, but he was so stubborn.

With the help of Vogel, Heinz made a fierce and decisive tackle and passed Ronaldinho's tackle to Brookink.

Brookink dribbled the ball along the wing to the center. Before Van Bommel blocked it, he passed the ball to Romedal on the right, who initiated a fast break.

Rommedal's technique is very good. He headed the ball a little, and with great strides, he got rid of Kuyt and went straight to the left back Riise.

Riise did not dare to be careless and retreated sideways to accelerate himself in advance. He is a Norwegian international and Romedal is a Danish international. The two of them are more familiar with each other than others. He knows Romedal's speed, and he thinks that he is not fast enough.

It's slow, but if Romedal sprints first, he won't be able to do anything, and he won't even have much chance to commit a foul.

Romedal accelerated and stopped twice in a row without getting rid of Riise, and did not dare to overtake directly. At this time, he saw Nilis in front of him and immediately passed the ball to Nilis.

Nellis handled the ball very smartly. He did not miss the ball or stop it. Instead, he stepped on the ball under his feet, then pushed back with the balls of his feet, and the ball came in front of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

.

Nelis's step was so smart that almost all the defensive players were attracted to him, and he paused for less than 0.1 seconds, and then dialed Ruud van Nistelrooy. At this time, whether it was Ismail

Either Lucio or Gattuso saw his action, but they had no time to react, giving Ruud van Nistelrooy 0.1 seconds to receive the ball, and this 0.1 seconds cost Alkmaar's defensive players

paid a heavy price.
