In the warm-up match against Crystal Palace, Jiang Mu once again formed a strange formation. The 4312 formation was his first time. In the four games, Jiang Mu formed four completely different formations.

Except for the players, the commentators and fans at the scene didn't know what Jiang Mu's purpose was for forming such a formation, but once the game started, the effect of Jiang Mu's formation came out.

Alkmaar kicked off first. They wanted to attack like other teams and give their opponents a showdown. However, when the fight started, they realized something was wrong. Crystal Palace was like a group of hungry wolves released from the cage. They launched a fierce attack at the beginning.

He pressed the ball hard and launched an attack on the spot. If he couldn't catch it, he would foul. Alkmaar's players were not allowed to advance at all.

AZ Alkmaar's fighting ability is top-notch in the Netherlands. They are young, strong and active in fighting. During training, Jiang Mu also focused on using collective fighting as a tactic to train, but it is not comparable to the teams in English League One.

, they are the ancestors of fighting for their lives, and all of them are desperate. It is useless to fight with them just relying on skills. Therefore, Jiang Mu piled up heavy troops in the backcourt, and sent Drogba and Drogba to the front who could withstand them.

Thomasson, who is good at seizing opportunities, puts Altidore, who is good at organization, in front of the opponent's back line to create a fatal blow.

After Alkmaar's players saw that they couldn't fight against this group of football hooligans, they followed Jiang Mu's instructions before the game and blocked their opponents in the 30-meter dangerous zone to defend their counterattacks.

The style of play in English League One does not have much technical content. It is just rough fighting and long passes. If you score goals or not, you basically rely on the weather. However, if this kind of unreasonable and unreasonable tactics is executed by players with higher standards, they will

The power is also very powerful, just like in the World Cup that just passed, Brazil was defeated by Norway, which has many long players and a simple play style.

However, this method is not very applicable to Alkmaar. Most of Alkmaar's players are players from low-level leagues, and most of the opponents they face are like Crystal Palace. They are not unfamiliar with this style of play, but they are not familiar with it.

I have encountered such intensity of fighting and hanging attacks, so I was a little unable to resist at first, but after playing for a few minutes, I gradually got used to it.

Alkmaar has formed a team not long ago, and their technical content is not much better than that of Crystal Palace, but their personal abilities are much better than Crystal Palace's. The longer the game lasts, the more beneficial it will be for Alkmaar.

Half an hour later, Alkmaar had the upper hand and their counterattacks became increasingly sharp.

In the 35th minute, the deadlock was broken. Alkmaar backcourt Van Bommel stole the ball and passed it to Drogba. Drogba gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Crystal Palace center back Fan Yi and squeezed out

He took the position of the Chinese veteran, pushed the ball to Altidore with his chest, then turned around and ran towards the penalty area.

Fan Yi was very anxious after losing his position. This was his first appearance. If he made such a big mistake, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the team in the future. When Drogba turned around, he desperately grabbed Drogba with his hands.

The jersey is pulled down. This is the veteran's cunning point. He is not pulling backwards, which is easy to detect, but pulling down. It seems that he is competing with Drogba for position. In fact, he has committed a hidden foul.

Drogba was young and energetic, and had not yet learned to dive. There was no need to dive outside the penalty area. He just pulled Fan Yi into the penalty area. However, Drogba's interference by Fan Yi also slowed down his running speed. Altidore

Ray didn't pass the ball to him, but gave it to Thomason.

Thomason is a pure shooter. He doesn't stop the ball at all. He turns his back to the defensive player, smoothes the ball with his left foot, and without waiting for the defender to get closer to the defender, he half-turns and hits the goal with his right foot.

The ball flew into the top corner of the goal like a cannonball!

The goalkeeper is beyond reach.

1:0.

Alkmaar took the lead.

The England fans at the scene were silent, and the majestic singing stopped suddenly. Some players kept shaking their heads, as if they didn't believe that Thomason could score such a clever goal.

After Thomason scored, he ran desperately to the sidelines and hugged Jiang Mu tightly. The continuous goals allowed him to find the confidence he had lost at Newcastle United. The goals in England gave him even more confidence.

A feeling of revenge.

Crystal Palace, playing at home, couldn't bear the humiliation. Immediately after the kick-off, they launched a more ferocious offensive. The ball did not pass through the midfield, but directly hit the inside and outside of Alkmaar's penalty area, allowing the forward to directly face the opponent's back line.

After the refractory period at the beginning, Alkmaar is no longer panicking. They have Martens and Morris at center back, and midfielders Van Bommel and Enke are both over 1.8 meters tall. High-altitude bombing has an effect on them.

Not big.

Seeing that the long pass was no longer a threat to Alkmaar, the Crystal Palace midfielder remembered their new Chinese full-back Ji Hai and began to play the ball to the side, using Ji Hai's side attack ability.

, made a pass from the bottom.

Ji Hai's opponent on the left wing is Alkmaar's right back Blomkamp.

There is no doubt about Blomkamp's ability. Being selected for the Dutch national team in the future is a testament to his talent, but defenders need experience. He is too young, only 20 years old. He is too involved when assisting, and sometimes he cannot come back.

Ji Hai's offensive power was also very strong, and he later secured his position as the main defender in the Premier League. When Blomkamp could not come back, he saw his teammates stealing the ball. Ji Hai suddenly exerted his strength and drove straight into the opponent's goal who crossed the penalty area.

halftime.

Seeing Ji Hai coming in, the Crystal Palace midfielder passed the ball to Ji Hai.

The ball was passed well. It was just in front of Ji Hai. Ji Hai could get the ball without slowing down.

When Van Bommel saw Ji Hai coming at him fiercely, he didn't dare to be careless and shoveled diagonally towards Jiang Mu on the wing.

This is a typical situation where the ball cannot pass the ball but the man cannot pass the ball.

However, Ji Hai was accelerating, and Van Bommel's tackle was actually dodged by Ji Hai. Van Bommel tackled behind Ji Hai.

At this time, Alkmaar's right wing was already empty. The full-back went up but did not come back. Van Bommel cleared the ball again and had no time to catch up. Center back Morris had to go to the wing to help defend.

Ji Hai was not greedy for credit and passed the ball to Alkmaar's penalty area before Morris arrived.

Martens accurately judged where the ball would land. He held the Crystal Palace striker tightly, preventing him from grabbing the spot comfortably and allowing his teammates to make a clearance.

Midfielder Enke retreated and headed the ball away.

Enke retreated and headed the ball, but he hit the ball into the middle.

When the ball bounced and fell for the second time, center back Fan Yi, who had just lost his position and lost the ball, came up with an assist. He pushed the ball forward with his chest, and then fired furiously.

This shot was so powerful that the ball flew to the lower corner of the goal like a sharp arrow against the turf.

Cesar is not familiar with Fan Yi, because Fan Yi and Ji Hai are new players who have just joined. Jiang Mu has almost forgotten their characteristics in this life. He did not explain clearly enough. Cesar did not guard against Yi hitting the goal, etc.

When he fell to the ground to save, his fingertips touched the ball, but it did not stop the ball from flying into the net.

1:1.

Fan Yi equalized the score for Crystal Palace.

The Selhurst Park stadium became lively at this time, and the British fans, who were already a little weak, roared and waved their arms to ask their players to kill the Dutchman.

The commentator is also very satisfied with the two Chinese players, "It is worth buying them for one million pounds. They bring motivation to Crystal Palace. Both of them have offensive awareness."

Crystal Palace head coach Bruce jumped up excitedly and roared at the sky. He was very happy. This was not because of a warm-up match goal, but because it proved that his purchase was not nonsense. The two Chinese players could not only give them

It brings benefits to the market and can also help the team improve.

Jiang Mu's expression was cold. The Crystal Palace team was only as strong as this. He was already sure of victory. This small episode was not enough to change the final result. Jiang Mu waved his hand and signaled the players to continue playing according to the established tactics. The first half was a draw.

The ending is nothing.

After Alkmaar kicked off again, the Crystal Palace players were obviously a little too excited. They couldn't wait to rush forward, hoping to reverse the score in the last few minutes.

However, Alkmaar had been waiting for them calmly. Crystal Palace's forward pressure forced Alkmaar into the backcourt, forcing Alkmaar to kick hard. They took the ball and started to attack.

Crystal Palace's rough skills were not enough to ensure that they controlled the ball. They only passed the ball into the penalty area twice, and the ball was grabbed by Alkmaar. Cesar kicked forward and Altidore jumped high.

Stop the ball with your chest, and after it falls, hook the ball behind you.

At this time, Kuyt, who was in line with the Crystal Palace back line, suddenly jumped out, forming an anti-offside attack and driving a diagonal line from the ribs into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

This is the essence of Dutch football cooperation. The tough guy from Crystal Palace didn't react at all and still raised his hand to signal that Kuyt was offside.

Kuyt faced the attacking goalkeeper and shot furiously. The ball flew over the goalkeeper's head and into the goal. The goalkeeper was unable to block the goal from such a close distance.

The score became 2:1, and Alkmaar continued to lead.

After the halftime break, both Alkmaar and Crystal Palace made substitutions. After all, this was just a warm-up match, and training the players was the stated goal of both parties.

Alkmaar replaced Klose, replaced Tomasson, and replaced Enco in the midfield, allowing Gattuso to come up and feel it, while Altidore retreated to give space to Klose, who has organizational ability.

Ze.

At the beginning of the second half, AZ Alkmaar caught Crystal Palace off guard.

Crystal Palace kicked the ball into the frontcourt, but Gattuso kicked the ball back.

Klose's header and Drogba played a header relay. Finally, Klose removed the ball and turned around to shoot coldly.

The goalkeeper was caught off guard, but luckily the ball was hit fairly well and was knocked out with both fists.

But the goalkeeper didn't hit the ball far, and was caught by Drogba. He followed up with another kick. This time the ball hit the other goal post diagonally. The goalkeeper didn't touch it in the air and could only watch the ball.

It hit the post and flew into the net.

3:1.

Drogba extended the score.

This goal greatly dampened the fighting spirit of Crystal Palace. They were impatient and attacked randomly. Alkmaar, who became more and more confident as they played, slowly dealt with Crystal Palace, and on the basis of solid defense, they fiercely broke into the space left by Crystal Palace in the backcourt.

Later, Crystal Palace failed to counterattack. Instead, Alkmaar scored consecutive goals again, and finally lost 1:5 at home.

After the game, the Crystal Palace coach was convinced of Alkmaar, saying that Alkmaar has the ability to win the Eredivisie championship. This is a team he has never seen before, and they play a kind of football that is not available now.

Jiang Mu also complimented Crystal Palace and wished Fan Yi and Ji Hai better and better and take root in England.

After this warm-up match, all of Alkmaar's warm-up matches ended, with four wins and an average of four goals per game. However, there are still many jealous people who find fault with Alkmaar.

Jiang Mu changed four formations in four games, which still puzzled many reporters. Some reporters even joked, "Is Jiang Mu trying to show off his football knowledge? Some reporters sarcastically said: Can't he just do his job?

Can you win a game?"

Jiang Mu didn't respond to any of this. This was a different question about his recruitment. He has enough toughness and confidence to withstand all this. As long as his team continues to win, these attacks will be self-defeating.
