Chapter 322 Battle of Mestalla

----------

Valencia, the third largest city in Spain, has a mild and pleasant climate and bright and bright light. It has all the characteristics of a Mediterranean city, with wide streets surrounding ancient neighborhoods, narrow streets in the old city, and fortified city gates.

The church stands out from the crowd, surrounded by old-fashioned shops, Gothic houses hidden in charming small courtyards, the distant heritage sites of 138 AD and the latest and avant-garde modern architecture perfectly and harmoniously blend together, making it a perfect and harmonious blend for European tourism.

One of the best cities.

However, after Alkmaar's players came to this beautiful city, they had no appreciation at all. The tense atmosphere of the war still enveloped the hearts of every player. Although they won the first game 4-1, but in the

What can't happen on the football field?

Especially when Alkmaar's players watched the second leg of the semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern that night, the players' mood became even more solemn. In the first round, Real Madrid led Bayern 2:0, and in the second round

In the game, Bayern forward Jankel broke the deadlock in the 12th minute. Elber equalized the total score in the 31st minute. Elber's goal in the 24th minute was disallowed, otherwise Bayern would have reversed Real Madrid in the first half.

Real Madrid didn't catch their breath until the second half. In the 54th minute, Anelka, who was always excited as long as he beat Bayern, scored again and scored a miracle goal. Under Kufuor's defense, Anelka had his back to the goal.

Behind the ball, the ball actually broke the goal guarded by Kahn, turning the score into 1:2. This was also the final score of the game. With Anelka's goal, Real Madrid cheered up and turned this

The score was maintained until the end, Bayern was eliminated with a one-goal advantage, and they successfully entered the Stade de France, waiting for the winner between Alkmaar and Valencia to enter the final.

The 2:0 advantage was reversed so easily. If it weren't for Anelka's magic goal, Real Madrid would have been eliminated. This made the Alkmaar players who were still a little complacent completely uneasy. They now feel that 4:1

The score is no longer safe, and the two-and-a-half-goal advantage seems to be reversed in a snap.

Jiang Mu originally hoped to make the players more cautious through the game, but he did not expect that the players were frightened by Bayern and became nervous. Some of the more sensitive players were even a little nervous and went too far. Jiang Mu was dumbfounded.

, I had no choice but to reassure the players and tell them that they had made sufficient preparations. As long as they played according to their arrangements, they would definitely advance to the finals.

After Jiang Mu's psychological massage, the Alkmaar players' mood returned to normal. Everyone took the information about the Valencia players that Jiang Mu had written for them and pondered it over in bed.

The next day, after Alkmaar conducted adaptive training in the morning, Jiang Mu took Ronaldinho to the press conference. At the press conference, Jiang Mu and Ronaldinho talked about their views on the game.

Jiang Mu said: "...This is a game that determines which team advances. Anyone can appear at the Stade de France. We are not the final winner yet. We only won the first round 4:1.

I believe we will advance to the final because we are one of the best teams in the world. I will not underestimate the difficulty of the game. Yesterday's match between Real Madrid and Bayern showed everything. Bayern only took 31 minutes to beat Real Madrid 2

The advantage of :0 was wiped out. If the referee had not misjudged a goal by Elber, Real Madrid might have been eliminated. So we must not be careless..."

What Ronaldinho said was the cliche Jiang Mu explained before the game, but it reflects Alkmaar's current state, "...the team is in good shape now. We are full of desire for the game and have made full preparations."

, Valencia is a very good team, they should have reached the final without us, but unfortunately, it is us who should advance now. I hope Valencia can win La Liga, but lose in the Champions League."

Because Jiang Mu played simulated games day and night, and most of the training during the day was left to the coaching staff, which surprised the media reporters. News about Jiang Mu being lazy and sleeping during the day also spread. Therefore, here

In the regular pre-game press conference held this time, the matter of Jiang Mu being lazy and sleeping became the focus of attention of reporters. Jiang Mu had been prepared for this. He could not let his reputation be damaged.

The question led to a series of rebuttals. "Why do you like to discuss whether I sleep during the day? Then why don't you talk about how the players are training and whether the game can be won? At the press conference, do you discuss the head coach's training?

Is it so important to sleep or not, but discussing the players and the game is irrelevant?”

A Spanish reporter tried to defend himself against Jiang Mu's aggressive rhetorical question, "Coach Jiang Mu, we think it's newsworthy that the coach doesn't train..."

Jiang Mu didn't wait for him to finish his words before he retorted: "Since you think so, why don't you discuss the upcoming European Cup and the Y2K issue? These are also newsworthy."

Jiang Mu was not in a hurry and leisurely debated with the reporters whether it was more important for the coach to sleep during training or whether the team could win. When the reporters got bored and wanted to ask questions about the game, Jiang Mu

Mu Que signaled the end of the press conference, turned around and left the venue, leaving all the reporters stunned.

During the rest of the game, players and fans kept talking about Jiang Mu's verbal battle with reporters, which even took away a lot of the tension of the battle.

At 7:45 in the evening, the game officially started at the Mestalla Stadium. The stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 people, was packed with people. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the final verdict. Everyone had been waiting for 7 days for this final verdict.

The commentator read out the playing lists of both sides. Two hours ago, Jiang Mu and Cooper submitted their lists to UEFA. The starting lineups of the two teams have changed to some extent compared to the first game.

, especially Valencia, they will definitely not be too satisfied with the starting lineup in the last game. Cooper made relatively big changes to the lineup and formation, while Jiang Mu mainly made fine adjustments.

Cooper deployed a 433 formation that he does not often use in the away game. The goalkeeper is the strong Canizares. The back line is the strongest lineup that Valencia can send. From right to left are Angeloma

,Dukic,Pellegrino,Carboni!

In the midfield, Mendieta is in front, Hérad, who is both offensive and defensive, and defensive midfielder Alberda are in the back. At the front are Angulo, Cobra Illie and Kili Gonzalez.

This formation was beyond the expectations of experts and reporters before the game, because Valencia's lineup rarely plays a 4-3-3 formation, which can almost be described as a handful. Cooper suddenly changed like this today, probably because he wanted to beat Jiang Mu.

Caught off guard.

Valencia's tactical ideas are mainly based on defensive counterattacks and wing breakthroughs. Killy Gonzalez, Angulo and Illie all like to move on the wing. All of them can play as wingers, and they can switch positions with each other.

, at the same time, after they pulled away, both Herard and Mendieta in the midfield could intervene in the attack. After Jiang Mu played the winger cutting-in tactic, now the whole of Europe has begun to learn from Jiang Mu's style of play, even his opponent Wa

Lencia is no exception.

However, Jiang Mu, who always likes new tricks, returned to his 433 formation. Compared with the starting lineup in the first game, he only adjusted one position.

Goalkeeper Cesar and the other three defenders Riise, Lucio and Kronkamp remain unchanged. Ismail, who was sent off with a red card in the last game, is replaced by veteran player Martens. Five players are sent out in the midfield.

The two defensive midfielders Van Bommel and Gattuso, the attacking midfielder Ronaldinho, the three forwards, center Thomasson, left midfielder Robben, right midfielder Kuyt, Drogba and Klose are still on the bench.

Standby.

The referee of this game is Norwegian Hauge, a 35-year-old health official who is good at Norwegian and English. He started his refereeing career in 1982 and became an international referee in 1993. He has been appointed by UEFA as the referee for the 2000 European Cup.

Law enforcement referee.

What makes Jiang Mu a little uneasy is that the Norwegian referee prefers La Liga. Jiang Mu is worried whether his liking for officiating will affect the game. Before the game, Jiang Mu also directly discussed this issue in order to put pressure on Hauge.

, Hauge said that he would enforce the law fairly. If Jiang Mu was dissatisfied, he could apply for a substitution. However, Jiang Mu did not apply. After putting pressure on him, Jiang Mu thought that even if Hauge had a preference, he would not dare to show partiality. He was a bit home-field.

It's normal for the factors to be played at home. Who doesn't take advantage of it at home?

After some pre-match rituals were completed, the referee Hauge blew the whistle to start the game.

Hauge's whistle was like Valencia's horn. After the whistle, Valencia immediately launched a fierce charge. For Valencia, time is extremely precious. Even if Alkmaar does not score a goal, they will

They must score at least three goals in 90 minutes, which also means they must score one goal every thirty minutes. In other words, if Valencia wants to advance, they must score in the first half, and the sooner the better.

.Because that can put psychological pressure on Alkmaar, otherwise, all the pressure will be on Valencia's side.

The fans in the stands also knew this. More than 50,000 Bat Legion fans raised their arms and shouted, singing Valencia’s team anthem:

This is one of the best teams in the league

We are Valencia Football Club

We fight to defend everything

The whole world is filled with our colors

on the algiros pitch

Jiang Mu and Cooper were both standing on the sidelines. Seeing Valencia's formation, Jiang Mu deliberately loudly said to himself in Spanish: "Don't make it so tragic, right?"

The assistant coaches around Jiang Mu all laughed, but Cooper was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He turned around and walked ten meters to one side, standing far away from Jiang Mu.
