Chapter 75 A good goalkeeper is equivalent to half the team

With less than five minutes left in the game, Alkmaar's offensive became even more fierce. Under full suppression, the focus was on using Cambour's left as a breakthrough, never leaving Lokhov any chance to breathe.

Lokhov was carrying a yellow card. Even if Van Blondt did not explain specifically, other Kamble players would not dare to let him face the opponent's breakthrough alone. Their current strength is already weaker than Alkmaar. If Lokhov

If he receives another yellow card, Cambour will not be able to make a comeback in this game.

Cambre's goal was caught by Alkmaar, and he had to desperately protect it. If there were not enough personnel, they could only recruit players from the offensive players in the frontcourt. In this way, their offensive power was further weakened, and they could only be beaten passively without fighting back.

Power.

Looking at Alkmaar's attacking waves, Cambour's players were like a small boat that could capsize at any time. The Cambour fans in the stands did not even dare to take a breath and stared at them.

Stadium, I hope that these last five minutes will pass quickly. Cambour can no longer concede the goal. There is still hope of equalizing at 1-0. A draw will ensure that Cambour wins the championship. If he concedes another goal, Cambour will basically win.

There is no hope left, and Alkmaar cannot give Cambour so many opportunities.

Cambr's players also know this truth well. They try their best to delay time and use up these five minutes, while Alkmaar is racing against time and never misses a chance to score. If any fan has just turned on the TV, or just

When I came to the stadium, I must have thought that Cambourne was in the lead and Alkmaar was behind.

Cambre was strong and determined to defend. Alkmaar really couldn't find a good way to score for a while, so he could only hit long shots from the outside, hoping to force the opponent out of the penalty area or win another lottery and score.

One goal to seal the victory.

Time passed by minute by second, and in a blink of an eye, it was injury time, which lasted one minute.

At this time, Kamble got a chance to kick the ball. Nally kicked the ball towards the whole court. He thought that when he came back, the first half of the game was over.

However, God did not want it to happen. Nally's kick was too powerful and it reached the edge of Alkmaar's penalty area. Alkmaar's slugger defender Morris stepped forward and kicked it back.

The ball was high and far, flying straight into Cambour's penalty area. The ball flew too high. During its descent, players from both sides had already crowded into the landing point. More than a dozen people were fighting for the best spot in the penalty area.

In the top position, goalkeeper Nally stood aside and stared, but couldn't squeeze through.

The ball was bumped by a Cambour player who had a large number of people, but there were too many people and he couldn't exert any force at all. The ball was bumped and didn't even go out of the penalty area.

The ball was continuously contested and finally fell to the turf of the penalty area.

At this time, everyone in Cambour was panicking. The ball was not a big threat in the air, and the header was not powerful at all. Moreover, the goalkeeper had a wide field of vision and could see everything at a glance, but it was different when it fell to the ground. The penalty area was full of people.

People are all legs. No one can see clearly except whose feet they are. Moreover, they are easy to use their feet to exert force, so the goalkeeper cannot guard against them at all.

The ball fell in front of Im. Im, who had scored twenty-seven goals before, was overjoyed. As long as he scored one more goal, he would almost be the top scorer. He took the shot without thinking.

Before Im shot, he saw a gap between himself and the goal, but when the ball left his foot, he found that the gap had disappeared, and the ball hit a hairy thigh and bounced in an unknown direction.

Cambour's core player Brammer felt the ball at his feet. He didn't have time to lower his head to see. There were people around him. He kicked out based on his feeling. Brammer was smart and did not kick towards the top of the penalty area.

It was kicked to one side to avoid being blocked and bounced towards the goal.

However, in a penalty area with so many people, all cleverness is self-inflicted. The ball moves irregularly. The ball hit the legs of two players, refracted twice, and still bounced towards the goal.

This time it was goalkeeper Nally who saved Cambre. As the ball rolled into the goal, he fell to the ground and blocked it with his feet.

The ball then rolled in front of Kuyt, and the boy from the fishing village used his calf to shoot angrily. The ball hit his teammate's leg, bounced high and flew diagonally toward the goal.

It turned out that when the ball bounced repeatedly on the ground in the penalty area, the fans couldn't see it at all, and they were so anxious that they didn't know what was going on. When the ball bounced up this time, everyone saw it, and there were screams of surprise and surprise.

"Is Cambour going to concede the ball at the last minute!? If they concede another goal, their championship will be in vain... Oh! It's Nally again! Nally is showing off his power! He jumped up from the ground in the shortest time to hold the ball

Out of the gate..."

At the most dangerous moment, Cambour's players broke out, and Nally jumped up from the ground again like a divine help, and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"well!"

Everyone in Alkmaar sighed with regret. If the goal had been scored, there would have been no suspense. Now that it was saved by Nali, there will definitely be a fierce battle in the second half.

The referee did not give Alkmaar a chance to take a corner kick, and as soon as stoppage time arrived, the whistle sounded to end the first half.

Boss Dilk, managers Nielsen and Schlinja all came to the home team's locker room. Dirk's face had a rare smile and excitement. He felt very proud that the team had reached this point. Originally,

When Jiang Mu took office, he had no hope of being promoted directly, and was even mentally prepared for the eventual failure to advance. That's why he decided to choose Jiang Mu at the last moment of the league. However, Jiang Mu did not

It gave him the biggest surprise. He completed a great comeback when he was 12 points behind with only seven rounds left.

"On behalf of the club and myself, I would like to thank you. You performed so well. I hope you can expand the score in the second half and firmly control the victory."

Dilk was full of joy and shook hands with the players one by one. When he arrived in front of Jiang Mu, he stretched out his arms to hug Jiang Mu and said: "Thank you, Jiang, do you have any requests? Just ask."

Jiang Mu smiled broadly and said, "Yes, buy me a few more players during the summer transfer."

Dilk agreed wholeheartedly and said: "This is no problem at all. As long as you can enter the Eredivisie, I will give you 20 million Dutch guilders in transfer funds."

"Okay, if you give me the transfer funds, I will get you a Champions League seat." Jiang Mu was overjoyed when he heard this. In 1998, 20 million transfer funds were already terrifying, and many wealthy clubs did not

How much higher will it be than this price?

When Dilk heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately became proud and said: "If you can get me a Champions League seat, I will give you an additional 10 million Dutch guilders."

Jiang Mu laughed and said: "With a transfer capital of 30 million Dutch guilders, we can win the championship, but we are not sure."

Jiang Mu said it very calmly, as if he was having a family conversation, but others in the locker room heard it like thunder. He wanted to win the championship before he was promoted to the Eredivisie. This tone was too loud.

Dilk patted Jiang Mu on the shoulder and said: "I am very happy with the Champions League seat. Just work hard."

Dilk, Schlinja and Nelson did not stay in the locker room for long. The players still had to rest, and Jiang Mu still had to make tactical arrangements. They knew what was going on and did not wait for Jiang Mu to chase them.

After the boss and manager left, Jiang Mu said: "Don't care what the club thinks or says. We must have our own goals and rhythm. In the second half of the game, we must expand the score before the last fifteen minutes to ensure that our destiny is in our own hands."

.

Kamble's left wing is their Achilles heel. Lokhov received a yellow card. If he is not replaced, he will be beaten to death. Kamble has no good candidate for Lokhov's left back position.

No matter which one we choose, it is a weakness, and our breakthrough point is this.

But Van Blount will definitely be prepared, so the one we finally open the gap may not be on the left, but on the middle and right. This is not important, as long as everyone knows which point hurts the enemy the most..."

After Jiang Mu laid out the tactics, he played music for the players to relax for the final time, waiting for the life-or-death duel in the second half.

Away team locker room,

Van Blount analyzed the goal they conceded to the players on the tactical blackboard and severely criticized Lokhov who made a big defensive mistake.

Van Blount did not attribute the mistake entirely to Lokhov alone. The team's goal conceded was not the fault of any one person. If the whole team could put enough pressure on Alkmaar's defense, Lokhov would not

Under such great pressure, it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake in the first half.

"We played poorly in the first half and were suppressed by our opponents in all aspects. Think about it, is this the same Cambourne team? Did we play half of our original level? If not, what was the reason?"

Van Blount asked the players three questions in a row for them to think about.

As the core of the team, Bramer must cooperate with the coach at this time. He said: "Our main defender is absent. Our opponents have noticed this and have been attacking our left wing. This makes us exhausted. This

That was the main reason why we were passive in the first half, and the opponent's pressing was too aggressive, which was the reason for our poor performance."

Van Blount snorted and said: "Which team has no weaknesses? It's as strong as Real Madrid. Juventus also has weaknesses, and Alkmaar certainly does. Why can they attack our weaknesses, but we can't attack theirs? Strong

In a battle between teams, defense alone cannot prevent us. We must attack our opponents' weaknesses and make them tire of their defenses, so that we can take the initiative..."

The players didn't say anything. They all understood what Van Blount said, but it's not that easy to attack the opponent's weakness. Alkmaar occupies the advantage of home court and presses fiercely. Cambour has a short time to control the ball. If he wants to attack, he can't.

What opportunities.

Van Blount saw the players' thoughts and said: "We must be more aggressive than our opponents and dare to attack more. Now we have no retreat. We must score goals. Only by scoring goals can we win the league championship and the chance to directly advance."

AZ Alkmaar's weakness is their defense. They press too far forward and there is a large gap behind them. They score a lot of goals in front of them, but they also concede a lot. It's just to see if we can catch them.

weakness."

Next, Van Blount analyzed and explained the problems that occurred in the first half of Alkmaar to the players in detail to prepare for the counterattack in the second half.
