Chapter 368 The European Cup at the Turn of the Century
Update time:2012-09-28
The European Cup kicked off the day after the establishment of Longteng Football Culture Company, but the opening ceremony was not held in the Netherlands, but in Brussels, Belgium.
In the previous life, Jiang Mu did not go to watch the opening ceremony of the European Cup. At that time, his family's income was very average and they had no spare money to go abroad to watch the opening ceremony. Jiang Mu watched the live broadcast in front of his own TV. Now, God has
Given him a chance to start over, Jiang Mu would naturally not give up the opportunity to go to the scene and experience the grand occasion.
Belgium borders the Netherlands. You can drive to Brussels in four hours to watch the opening ceremony. You can also take the ic train, which is cheaper. But Jiang Mu doesn't have the leisure time. He took a plane directly an hour before the opening ceremony.
We flew to Brussels and went to the King's Stadium to watch the opening ceremony of the 2000 European Cup.
In the eyes of outsiders, the European Cup is mysterious, but in Jiang Mu's eyes, everything is almost transparent. All he wants to do is feel the atmosphere of the scene and make up for the regrets of his previous life.
The predecessor of the King's Stadium was the Heysel Stadium in Brussels where the famous Heysel tragedy occurred. Perhaps in order to wash away and warn against the tragedy that year, in the opening ceremony, which was only 11 minutes long, the host Belgium showed the results of this cup.
The theme is "Football Without Borders".
After 179 actors performed the story of an adult man and his child discovering football together, Swedish pop star e-type sang the theme song of the 2000 European Cup - "Champions 2000", and then each team entered the venue in turn. 8:45 p.m.
, the first match between Belgium and Sweden started with the whistle blowing.
Both Belgium and Sweden can only be regarded as quasi-strong teams in Europe, and the strength of the two goals is also about the same. However, the Belgians have the home court advantage, and their winning rate is obviously higher than that of Sweden. Teams of equal strength compete against each other.
, the final result was determined by a slight advantage. In the end, Belgium also defeated Viking Sweden 2:1 at home and achieved a long-awaited victory.
Jiang Mu bought all the winnings and losses in the group stage, but in order to avoid suspicion, his bets were not large. Belgium won and he made a small amount of pocket money, although it was far from the winnings he lost in the Champions League final.
, but if history doesn’t happen again like the Champions League, Jiang Mu will make his money back after a few games, and even more.
After watching the match between Belgium and Sweden, Jiang Mu then took a bus to Arnhem Stadium to watch the group match between Turkey and Italy. Before the match, Jiang Mu contacted Gattuso, who was not on the squad for this match.
We watched the game together in the stands and exchanged views on the game. At the same time, Jiang Mu also asked Gattuso about his plans for next season. This is also an important factor for Jiang Mu to watch the European Cup in addition to inspecting players. He needs to pass
This event will ask the players what they think so as not to be passive in the transfer process.
Gattuso has performed well in the defensive midfield position, but in Italy, which is full of talents, he can only sit on the bench now. In fact, it is not easy to enter the European Cup squad, if it were not for Alkmaar's magic
After winning the Champions League, he couldn't even make the squad.
It is precisely because defensive players are not as eye-catching as forwards and attacking midfielders that Gattuso has not received many invitations. Although several Serie A teams are interested in bringing in Gattuso, the bids are not high and they have always liked him.
The stable Gattuso still prefers to stay at Alkmaar, but the premise is that Jiang Mu does not leave and the club gives him a slight salary increase.
Jiang Mu believes that Gattuso's request is reasonable. Europe is not a celestial empire. Players will not sacrifice their own interests for the club, and no club will force players to contribute to the collective. There is a contractual relationship between the club and the players. Jiang Mu and
Gattuso talked about the club's salary increase and contract renewal plan, allowing him to play the European Cup with peace of mind, and then left the Amner Stadium and rushed to Bruges to watch the game between World Cup champion France and former European Cup champion Denmark.
By the way, take a look at the French player Ismail, who missed the European Cup due to injury, Drogba, who grew up in France, and Danish forward Thomasson.
The World Cup champion France easily defeated the former European Cup champion Denmark 3:0. The conversation between Jiang Mu and Ismail and Drogba also went very smoothly. Ismail has no plan to leave, and Drogba
Although he received many invitations, he was loyal to Jiang Mu. If Jiang Mu did not leave, he had no plans to move for the time being. However, Jiang Mu was not able to meet Thomason, because Thomasson is Denmark's main forward.
Jiang Mu was busy preparing for the war with France, and Jiang Mu didn't bother him on purpose.
Jiang Mu was just like rushing for a performance. After watching the match between France and Denmark, he immediately flew back to Amsterdam in the Netherlands to watch the battle between the popular Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
When Jiang Mu appeared in the stands, he aroused enthusiastic attention from the fans. He once stole the spotlight from the protagonists on the court. The enthusiastic applause made the commentators think it was the players.
The players selected for the Dutch team at Alkmaar include Kronkamp and Van Bommel, but they are not the protagonists. Rijkaard brought them in with the purpose of giving them more experience, rather than relying on them to get results.
Jiang Mu didn't care much about whether the players could play. Although Rijkaard had a phone call with him before the game to ask about the status and characteristics of Kronkamp and Van Bommel, Jiang Mu also heard from Rijkaard's voice.
It sounded like he was still worried about the two young men. In this cup match, the best outcome for the two of them was to be able to play for a while at an insignificant time.
Jiang Mu's main task is still to communicate with the players of Alkmaar. No matter whether he leaves or stays, he does not want Alkmaar to fall into big twists and turns. Moreover, he has also carefully trained Lin Nazhou in the past two years, and he has set a good example for the development of Alkmaar.
The only thing is that if he leaves one day, Lin Nazhou will be his successor at Alkmaar.
The match between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic was very difficult. The Netherlands had the advantage at home, but they never scored. In the end, they relied on De Boer's goal to narrowly defeat the Czech Republic 1:0. After the game, reporters were interviewing on the spot.
Jiang Mu was asked about his views on the performance of the Netherlands. Jiang Mu believed that the Netherlands has a strong ability to create opportunities and needs to solve the problem of final kick. As the host, it will not be a problem for the Netherlands to qualify for the group stage, but if they want to win the championship, they still need to
Keep improving.
Jiang Mu's well-intentioned reminder was misinterpreted by the media. Many Dutch media deliberately created conflicts to attract attention. They said that Jiang Mu believed that the Netherlands had no hope of winning the championship if they continued to play like this. He criticized the forward's poor performance. He might be complaining about the loss of Robben and Kuyt.
.
Rijkaard expressed his dissatisfaction implicitly the next day. He believed that the Dutch forwards performed very well, but were just too unlucky, otherwise they would have defeated the Czech team. Rijkaard also told reporters that he would still adjust the players now.
In this state, warming up slowly is to go further.
Rijkaard's words made Jiang Mu shut up completely. It was none of his business whether the Netherlands won the championship or not. He didn't care. He was not the head coach of the Dutch team. Jiang Mu then remained silent and stopped talking to anyone who came to interview. He just looked for
He spent time exchanging opinions with the players and waiting for the opportunity to introduce Longteng Football Culture Company to his disciples.
During the entire group stage, Jiang Mu gained a lot. Under his persuasion, most of the Alkmaar players firmly stated that they would continue to stay at Alkmaar if their salaries were increased. Only Thomasson and Kuyt,
Klose, Suleiman, and Engel have not expressed their opinions yet. Ronaldinho, Lucio and other South American players also make Jiang Mu feel uncertain. However, the only real main players who are unclear are Thomason, Kuyt, and Klose.
Even though the number of people like Lucio and Lucio was quite large, Jiang Mu felt relieved. Even if these people all left, he would still have a way to replace them with suitable candidates.
Under Jiang Mu's introduction, Drogba and Robben reached a verbal agreement with Longteng Company and became Feng Ke's players, giving Longteng Company financial support for sustainable development and stable income.
Of course, Jiang Mu also gained a lot from gambling. He easily made back the tens of thousands of euros he lost in the Champions League, and still had a certain surplus. The knockout rounds of the unpopular spy games were a good opportunity for Jiang Mu to make big money.
On June 21st, the world-famous 2000 European Cup group stage competition finally ended after three rounds of group stage matches. The two old world powerhouses, England and Germany, were upset and eliminated early. Belgium, which won the first round, was also eliminated.
In the end, none of the traditional European power teams reached the top eight. In addition, the 16 European powerhouses unanimously held high the banner of "offensive football" and focused on individual skills and overall coordination, which also indicated the development direction of modern football in the 21st century.
It is a combination of technology and strength. Reporters also pointed out that the Champions League match three weeks ago had foreshadowed this. Jiang Mu's Alkmaar is a good example of the combination of strength and technology.
The first round of the European Cup group stage was a turbulent "goal frenzy". A total of 24 goals were scored in 8 games, which was almost the total number of goals scored in the first round of the last two European Cup group stages (1992 13
(12 in 1996), with an average of 3 goals per game.
After the dazzling "goal frenzy", the group stage entered the "mid-game adjustment period". Compared with the first round of the group stage, only 14 goals were scored in the second round, and there were three 1:0 games.
and a 0:0 game. Seeing the rise of "offensive football" and the resurgence of "utilitarianism", the fans were poured cold water on their heads.
After a dull "adjustment period", the third round set off another "goal storm", with a total of 27 goals scored in 8 games. The three "European Latin" teams of Spain, Yugoslavia and Romania played triumphant songs.
They reached the quarter-finals together, while the German team, the representative of "holism", and the English team, the "originator" of long-passing, were eliminated side by side. The "Three Nordic thieves" - Sweden, Denmark and Norway did nothing and were eliminated dismally.
, fully proves that the power of European football has reached its end and a new change has begun.
