AZ Alkmaar defeated Barcelona 4:1 at home. This news shocked the world of football like a bomb. This score was something that no one expected before the game. Before the game, both the media, fans, and even betting companies were all

Optimistic about Barcelona's unbeaten away game.

The score appears.[]

The next day, Spain's Mundo Deportivo called the game a "disgrace", "This is a shame! Even the most fanatical Alkmaar fans did not expect that they could defeat with such a huge score of 4 to 1."

Barcelona, ​​even the most pessimistic Barcelona fans did not expect that they could lose with such a huge score of 1 to 4. Barcelona not only lost the game, Van Gaal's team was stripped naked in front of the whole world. Not only were they exposed

His shortcomings of poor defense also exposed the conflicts in their locker room. Rivaldo's substitution made his teammates and fans feel chilled. With such a relationship between generals and generals, it is really difficult to win."

The pro-Barcelona "Daily Sports" devoted a full page to the news of Barcelona's defeat and severely criticized Barcelona's poor performance in this game. "In the Dehout Stadium, which can only accommodate 8,000 people,

Barcelona lost everything. From the fans to the coach, from the performance of the players to the tactical deployment, Barcelona all lost to the little Alkmaar. Van Gaal returned to his hometown, but in front of the Dutch team he was familiar with, he

Barcelona's tactics were completely restricted, and Barcelona did not perform at its normal level. The team played very frustrated, and Rivaldo went back to the locker room in anger when he was substituted. After losing a big score in the away game, Barcelona played in the next game.

It will become very difficult, they have to score three goals to advance, and if Van Gaal can't come up with a better way, maybe they will miss the semi-finals again this season."

The pro-Real Madrid newspaper "Marca" also prominently reported the news of Barcelona's defeat. The article wrote: "Barcelona went to the Netherlands with the confidence of winning, but ended up returning with a huge defeat. They became another hot favorite.

As an example, AZ Alkmaar has shown their true qualities as a dark horse before, but Barcelona did not take it to heart. In the end, they can only bring it upon themselves to repeat the bitter consequences of losing to Dynamo Kiev last season."

The media in the Netherlands was in jubilation, and all major media reported Alkmaar's big victory on the front page. After the decline of the top three in the Netherlands, no team can win honors for Dutch football in the Champions League, and this

It's not just about honors, it's also about points. If the Eredivisie's European points cannot be maintained, they may lose one spot in the Champions League next season.

The Telegraph of the Netherlands highly praised Alkmaar's victory, "This is a great victory! Alkmaar defeated Barcelona 4:1 at home. This was a result that no one could have imagined before the game. Alkmaar

The Malians have created a miracle and opened the door to the semi-finals. As long as they don't lose more than three goals in the next game, they will reach the semi-finals unprecedentedly."

"Tiantian Football" of the Netherlands said: "This is an epic victory. With the top three of the Eredivisie in decline, Alkmaar suddenly emerged and defended the dignity of the Eredivisie. In the quarter-finals, it beat La Liga with 4 goals.

The giant Barcelona has almost locked up a spot in the semi-finals. After playing very conservatively in the other three games, Barcelona and Alkmaar scored a big score, causing a big upset and becoming the biggest upset in this round of the Champions League.

High profile games.”

The media's praise of Alkmaar made the young Alkmaar a bit elated. In the next 29th round of the league, he fell behind 0:3 in the first half against the underdog Graf Sharp. In the second half, Jiang Mu made three consecutive substitutions.

People, finally tied the score at 3:3 in stoppage time, almost losing their unbeaten status. However, because PSV defeated Fortuna Sitte with 4 goals, the gap between Alkmaar and PSV was

The score has shrunk back to within 10 points, with only a 9-point gap. This also bankrupted Jiang Mu's plan to lock in the league title before the Champions League and Barcelona finals.

In the 30th round, Alkmaar challenged Ajax away from home, and after this game, they will fly to Spain for a showdown with La Liga giants Barcelona.

Although the game ends in five rounds and Alkmaar leads by 9 points, even if they lose another game, the league championship will not be lost. Alkmaar still has the initiative, but the risk is much greater. Jiang Mu is worried about this

He still didn't dare to be careless in a league game. He didn't ask for victory, but made a request to get at least one point.

In the final stage of the league, one point is very important. According to the team's own situation, Jiang Mu's request to score one point is also very realistic. After all, the focus is still on the Champions League, reaching the quarterfinals and the first round.

Even after a 4-1 win, no team wanted to take another step forward, or even two steps forward.

Ajax played extremely poorly under the leadership of new head coach Waters. They lost 13 consecutive games and were fired in March. Young assistant coach Westhoff became a firefighter. Now Ajax is in

Ranked sixth in the league, one step forward is the Champions League, one step back is the UEFA Cup. For Westerhof, who reached the Dutch Cup final after taking over, he still has some ideas, reaching the Champions League and winning the Dutch Cup.

, and then seek to become a regular player, this is the ambition of this young assistant coach.

For this focus battle with Alkmaar, Westerhoff's desire for victory is inexhaustible. If he can defeat Alkmaar at home, he will immediately become famous in Europe, because Alkmaar is now in any country.

The battlefield has not yet been defeated.

Before this season, even if Ajax was in dire straits, they still had the confidence and confidence to face this little brother who was only a few dozen kilometers away from them. But now, they can only lower their posture and face Alkmaar as a weakling.

challenge.

Although Ajax is in decline, its heritage is still there. At the Amsterdam Stadium, the young acting coach Westhoff created a lot of trouble for AZ.

With Alkmaar distracted, it was difficult for him to concentrate all his energy on dealing with Ajax. Ajax always likes to attack, but they played very steadily in this game. In the so-called 433 formation, there were actually two

Each winger retreated to the midfield to assist the defense, which made it very difficult for Alkmaar to control the midfield. The offense was weak and neither side scored a goal in the first half, ending with a score of 0-0.

In the second half, Ajax's fear of Alkmaar decreased. They strengthened their offensive and prepared to win the game. However, Alkmaar was also dissatisfied with the performance in the first half and accelerated the pace of the game. From the first minute of the second half

The second half of the game in February was many times more intense than the first half, and both sides created many more opportunities than before.

At this time, there was a bit of a showdown between giants.

In the 3rd minute of the second half, Tobiasson made a pass from the left. The unguarded Aviladze headed the ball and hit the crossbar. This attack started Ajax's offensive frenzy.

In the 10th minute of the second half, Dani passed the ball and Babangida's shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area missed slightly. In the 15th minute, Ajax took a corner kick on the left and Aviladze swept the shot from 10 yards outside the goal.

The left column is out of alignment.

In the 65th minute of the game, Ajax scored its first goal of the game. Winger Dani passed the ball and midfielder Witzger shot a left-footed shot from a small angle into the far corner from 12 yards on the left side of the penalty area.

After entering the net, the score became 1:0. Ajax, under the fierce attack, finally scored a goal.

After Ajax scored this goal, Alkmaar immediately launched a counterattack, but Ajax did not shrink its defense. The young acting coach Westhoff was very courageous. He directed the team to continue attacking and used offense

to suppress Alkmaar's counterattack.

Ajax was lucky. Five minutes later, Witzger, who had just scored, returned the favor. His pass in the middle helped Dani, who had just assisted him, to successfully counter the offside and score the second goal of the game.

The score became 2:0.

This pushed Alkmaar to a dead end. It was at this moment that Alkmaar's numb nerves were stung, and they began a desperate counterattack.

In the 73rd minute, Kronkamp made a pass from the right, and Drogba's shot from the edge of the small penalty area was saved. 2 minutes later, Ronaldinho passed the ball in the midfield, Drogba got away with a header, and Thomasson was 20 yards away.

The shot was slightly higher than the crossbar. In the 80th minute, Klose replaced Drogba. In the 81st minute, Ronaldinho made a direct pass. Klose, who had just come on, broke into the penalty area and scored with a shot from 12 yards, 1:2! Al

Kemar finally got a point back. In the 82nd minute, Ronaldinho's direct free kick shot was confiscated. In the 85th minute, Riise's direct shot from 25 yards on the left missed the far corner.

After Alkmaar's morale was boosted, their offense never gave Ajax a chance to score 5 points. The offensive wave became higher and higher, and they would not give up until they scored a goal.

In the 87th minute, Ronaldinho took a left corner kick. Klose beat the opponent's defender from the edge of the penalty area and headed the ball. After the ball was hit by the goalkeeper, Lucio volleyed into the net from outside the penalty area. 2:2 level!

After Alkmaar equalized the score, there was still a chance to score again. However, in the 91st minute, Klose got a single shot but selflessly passed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho faced an empty goal on the edge of the penalty area but hit the left post.

The best opportunity to take the lead was missed. In the end, the two sides shook hands with each other 2:2 at the Amsterdam Stadium.

After Alkmaar drew with Ajax in this game, PSV got closer by two points. The gap between them and Alkmaar was only 7 points, and there are still four rounds left in the league.

Under the circumstances, although Alkmaar had absolute initiative, suspense had already arisen. But at this time, Alkmaar was no longer in the mood to care about this. They had to go to Spain and Barcelona to fight for their tickets to the semi-finals.
