Chapter 255 Marseille with a lot of problems

The game between Alkmaar and Ajax can be called a derby in a broad sense. The cities where the two teams are located are only more than 40 kilometers apart. Even the jerseys of the two teams are very similar. After Jiang Mu took over Alkmaar,

Before Marr, Ajax did not pay much attention to this little brother who was not far away. Because they were in two leagues at different levels, there were not many opportunities for the two sides to play against each other.

With the arrival of Jiang Mu, AZ Alkmaar was like a dragon leaping out of the abyss, soaring into the sky and winning the Eredivisie and Dutch Cup double crown as a newly promoted team. The competition between the two teams suddenly intensified.

The competition between the two teams not only attracted a large number of fans, but also attracted media attention. The confrontation between the two teams has gradually become one of the most important matches in the Eredivisie.

However, AZ Alkmaar continues to be strong this season. Not only in the Eredivisie, but also in the Champions League, it has won consecutive victories, achieving the best record in the Eredivisie in recent years. After Ajax's stars left one after another, not only the strength is getting stronger and stronger

Poor, the state is getting more and more sluggish, and they are no longer qualified to compete in the Eredivisie. Now it is not that Ajax does not play with Alkmaar, but now it has become that Alkmaar does not consider Ajax at all.

In the eyes, they had three days to play against Ajax after finishing the Champions League, but Jiang Mu actually gave the team half a day off.

Next year will be the centenary celebration of Ajax. Jiang Mu's behavior made Ajax's president and fans hate him so much that they were all gearing up before the game to give Alkmaar some color.

But Ajax also knows that their anger can only boost their morale. They no longer have the strength to compete with Alkmaar. They bought the De Boer brothers, Litmanning, and Van der Sar in a package from Barcelona.

He left the Apennines and fell into the arms of an old woman. After Blind retired, not only did the golden generation of 1995 leave, but even Olson's team only had Aviladze and Grenchar.

Chivu, Mahras and other young motley crew.

The course of the game also proved this. Alkmaar, who played a double match in a week, still had the upper hand at home. These young players have experienced the test of the Champions League and become more calm. They conceded a goal in the first half.

, put pressure on Ajax unhurriedly, as if they were confident of winning.

Ajax, who were in the lead, were worried about gains and losses, and got into chaos in the second half. A mistake led to Ronaldinho's single goal, and then Drogba scored another goal with a wild long-range shot. Alkmaar took the lead.

In the end, Ajax fought back desperately, but with the right time, place, and people not on their side, Ajax had no choice but to accept the fate of losing 1:2.

In the next 15th round of the away game against Vidis, Alkmaar continued their efforts and did not give Vidis, the third-placed player in the league, any chance in the away game. They easily won 2:0 and continued to advance with a 10-point advantage.

Leading the Eredivisie standings.

Although the Eredivisie schedule is not over halfway, the Dutch media believe that the title of the championship has lost its suspense. Alkmaar will definitely win the championship as easily as last season. What is a bit suspenseful is whether any team will break Alkmaar's lack of success for a season and a half.

The defeated golden body.

However, now, neither Jiang Mu, nor the Alkmaar players, nor the Alkmaar club officials care about winning or losing in the league. The consecutive victories in the Champions League and the bonus money pouring into their pockets.

It was the qualifying round of the Champions League, and they made a huge profit of 7.4 million euros. They made it to the top 16 group stage, and they got another 3 million. They earned another 800,000 after beating Chelsea. So far, Alkmaar has made 11.2 million euros.

, so that even if club owner Dirk no longer invests during the winter break, Alkmaar will still have funds to sign players.

11.2 million euros is just a drop in the bucket for a wealthy club, but for a small club like Alkmaar, it is a huge sum of money. Alkmaar people who are in urgent need of money are all desperately trying to win the Champions League.

Every game is played, but the domestic league and cup competitions are not taken to heart.

Alkmaar's second group match was at home against Marseille, which lost the first game. Although Alkmaar is stronger than Marseille in terms of venue, morale, physical fitness and unity, morale can change, and the venue can

To adapt, what Alkmaar can rely on is the physical fitness and unity they have accumulated during summer training.

For two normal teams, physical fitness and unity are not the key factors that determine the game, but what Marseille lacks most now is unity. They lost so easily at home in the last game and had almost no resistance.

There was a problem in their locker room, and Marseille's head coach Kobis couldn't suppress it. As a result, Marseille, which had excellent soldiers and generals, staged a farce of non-resistance.

After two weeks of adjustments, Corbis not only failed to solve the problem, but the locker room issues became increasingly tense. Not long ago, it was reported that the three core generals Blanco, Dugarry and Ravanelli were leaving Marseille.

, forget it if he leaves at the end of the season. There are many such rumors, and almost every star has had such rumors. Blanco, Dugarry and Ravanelli were rumored to leave Marseille during the winter break.

Blanco's destination was Inter Milan, Dugarry wanted to go to Bordeaux, and Ravanelli's transfer target turned out to be Lazio, who had just beaten them. This made the Marseilles seriously doubt Ravanelli's professionalism.

Did he try his best in the first Champions League group match? Did he let his guard down?

The most terrifying thing is when there is a problem with the unity of a team, because when there is unity, its importance is not felt, but once it is lost, you can hardly accomplish anything.

So whether this rumor is true or not, Marseille's head coach Kobes and club president Marchand have come out to refute the rumors in order to smoothly spend the two games before the winter break.

Club president Marcande said: "In the past 14 days, we have been living in pain. We have lost both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. There are constant rumors about the team. It seems that all kinds of bad situations have come to Marseille, Blanco,

Core players such as Dugarry and Ravanelli are rumored to leave during the winter break, and may go to teams that compete with us, such as Bordeaux and Lazio. However, I can boldly tell the fans, don't worry, they will not

We will leave, let alone go to our opponent's team during the winter break. We are not short of money, and we will not do stupid things. Now we must calm down, because there is still a lot of work waiting for us to do. Kobes needs a quiet

The environment carries out his work. We are in a death group. Small mistakes will cost us the most. Everyone must trust Kobis and his players. They have led us to the top 16. I believe in them.

Will do better."

Kobes was very angry at reporters for spreading such rumors. He said: "I am considering suing those unscrupulous reporters. It is really outrageous that they fabricate news like this. I do not deny that we are in a difficult time now, but Bran

Coe, Dugarry and Ravanelli are our core, and none of them will leave. To say the least, even if they were to leave, they would not be in the camp of our competitors. No club would do such a business.

Unless this club is so poor that it has no regard for results or the feelings of its fans."

In the face of a major enemy, Marseille's players also chose to share the same hatred instead of internal strife. Soon the three players who were rumored to be leaving also stood up and stated that they would not leave Marseille this season. Their current goal is to help the team in the future.

Advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League and strive for a Champions League spot in the league.

Although a few fans who knew the inside story did not believe these rumors, most fans still stood with the club and the team. More than 2,000 fans expressed their intention to go to the Netherlands to support Marseille.

No matter what, the problem in the locker room has been basically solved, but the player's injury problem still plagues Marseille. The team's organizer De La Pena has not recovered from the injury, and the iron gate Gallas on the defense has just played with the ball.

Training and whether he can play in the game against Alkmaar depends on the team doctor. Another worrying thing is captain Pires. He recently caught a cold and had a runny nose. This is not a big problem, but it is also very annoying, at least.

It may affect his performance.

However, captain Pires still expressed optimism about the team going to Alkmaar. He said: "The team has many problems now, but I believe that in front of the competition, everyone will unite, overcome difficulties and strive for victory. Some people say

We must win. We are the besiegers now. We cannot lose anymore. There are only six games in the group stage. If we lose one more game, our chances of qualifying will be very small. In this game with Alkmaar, we

We must ensure not to lose, this is also our bottom line."

Defender Gallas also took the initiative to ask for a fight. He said during a charity event on a TV station, "I feel that my body has returned to its best condition. I hope to help the team. Alkmaar's attack

He is very strong, just think about Chelsea. If we want to score points in the away game, we must stabilize the backcourt and then wait for opportunities to score goals."

Alkmaar and Marseille are in Group D, and their games are at the back. In the game that started online, the strong teams began to regain their true colors. Barcelona, ​​which was tied by Hertha Berlin in the first game, raised the butcher's knife and defeated them 5:0.

Sparta Prague. Defending champion Manchester United defeated Valencia 3-0 at home cleanly. Real Madrid and Bayern also won Dynamo Kiev and Rosenborg by big scores.

Seeing that the strong teams are getting stronger and facing the challenge of Marseille, Alkmaar will certainly not dare to be careless. For them, there is another temptation as big as qualifying for the group, and that is money, because the annual salary of Alkmaar players is

Linked to winning, a Champions League victory is worth 800,000 euros, a draw is worth 400,000 euros, and a loss is not worth a point. When Alkmaar's players think of the colorful euros, their hearts are burning and they wish they could win.

All six group matches. In this way, even if they are eliminated in the quarterfinals, they will still make a lot of money. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. This is another reason why these young people have extremely strong fighting spirit and full of resilience.
