During the training the next morning, Drogba did not put on the yellow vest as a substitute because Jiang Mu did not want to leak out his decision yesterday. Del Bosque is a very careful person, and any abnormal changes in his opponent will not escape him.
Jiang Mu believed that there must be a pair of eyes watching when he was training, just like Jiang Mu sent scouts to take a peek at all training sessions at Real Madrid.
Of course, Drogba's mood is not bad, but there is nothing unusual about his performance, while Engel and Rayi are very excited. Yesterday, Jiang Mu informed them that they will start in tomorrow's Champions League final. This
Both of them are substitutes. One doesn't know whether he will stay at Alkmaar next season, and the other is very likely to retire at the end of this season. To be able to get such a starting opportunity is simply beyond their dreams.
As the war approaches, Alkmaar's training atmosphere becomes more relaxed. Yesterday afternoon's training, Jiang Mu made the entire training process public to the media; this morning, Alkmaar's training continued to be open, and he was not afraid of the outside world knowing about his platoon.
The situation of troop formation.
Before public training, Alkmaar players usually arrive 15 minutes early, enter the locker room next to the training ground to change into training clothes, and then come to the court to warm up. A group of people gather around the goal to practice shooting, and Lucio
Played the role of goalkeeper.
Seeing the reporters gathered around, assistant coach Lin Nazhou joked: "Lucio is a good goalkeeper. Before training, Lucio and I often act as goalkeepers, but I was just joking, and Lucio is the best."
Good goalkeeper, if something happens to us at the goalkeeper position, Lucio will definitely be the first one to be considered."
Lucio's goalkeeping was really professional. Whether it was Drogba's long shot or Robben's skillful shot, Lucio blocked them all with high shots and low blocks. He won bursts of applause from the reporters in the stands.
Before the group match within the team, Jiang Mu also arranged for the players to play a small game. All the players jogged in a circle and fell to the ground immediately after hearing the assistant coach's whistle. Whoever moved the slowest had to do push-ups as a penalty. There were also questions.
In the partner game, when players are jogging, after hearing the assistant coach's whistle, they must immediately find their defensive target. Those who find the wrong target or find the target late will be punished with push-ups. Although Martens and Ray are older, they have more experience.
Rich, but not the target of punishment, but Engel and Drogba were punished repeatedly. Engel was slow to react and turn around, but Drogba was a little distracted because he could not start the game.
During the group confrontation, Jiang Mu did not group the main players together, but spread them out, allowing the main players and substitutes to play together, so that Bosque did not know his intentions even if he saw the video, but Gattuso, well
However, Ge and Layi have always been in the same group, allowing them to get familiar with each other's new ways of cooperating.
The combination of Gattuso, Engel and Rai Yi is no stranger. After a few rounds of cooperation, they have a tacit understanding. Neither Gattuso nor Engel is a stickler for the ball. When they grab the ball, they hand it to Rai Yi, who leads the way.
During the game, the two of them acted as bodyguards and played well, which made Jiang Mu very happy.
After having a nutritious meal at noon, the afternoon training was only open to fans and reporters for half an hour. Half an hour later, the team began closed training. This time it was serious training, with one group of main players and one group of substitutes, completely following Jiang Mu's tactics.
The arrangement is to play, the substitutes imitate Real Madrid, and the main defense is counterattack.
However, of course, the substitutes cannot compare with Real Madrid's offensive power. As a result, they were defeated by the main defensive counterattack and lost 1:6. When the main lineup was switched to attack and the substitute lineup was defensive counterattack, the score became
2:3, the main side barely won. It can be seen that the defensive side played more calmly and proactively, and was able to hide its shortcomings to the maximum extent.
After the afternoon training, Jiang Mu held a press conference. At the meeting, Jiang Mu talked about his views on the final and also talked about the player's contract renewal. Regarding the starting lineup that reporters were most concerned about, Jiang Mu said
Vague words.
Jiang Mu said that this final will be a classic battle, "This is a contest between the biggest dark horse in the history of the Champions League and the most successful team in history. Real Madrid is the well-deserved favorite, and Coach Del Bosque's coaching level
Extremely high. Under his leadership, Real Madrid has gradually taken shape. The current state has been adjusted to the highest level, but we need to maintain the state. This is very difficult, but we will never give up the Big Ears Cup. Real Madrid must rely on
Use your own strength to win the eighth Big Ear Cup."
"Our players are in good shape now. The team has just completed contract extensions with Lucio, Riise, Kronkamp, Van Bommel and others. The contracts of Ronaldinho, Thomasson and others are also being negotiated. The final
There will definitely be results later, but no matter how the contract is renewed, it will not affect my players. Now all our thoughts are on how to play well in the finals and prevent our efforts of a season from being in vain."
"... Regarding the starting lineup, it has basically been determined, but I can't tell you everything. I can only tell you that goalkeeper Cesar will definitely start, but I think it doesn't matter who starts, because Alke
Mar's players are all very good, so it won't be a problem for anyone to play. Letting some players play and letting others sit on the bench is mainly because of the opponent, not because of their poor strength."
When reporters saw that Jiang Mu was unwilling to announce Alkmaar's starting lineup, they had an idea and began to encourage Jiang Mu to guess Real Madrid's starting lineup for this game. Jiang Mu also readily agreed, saying: "My prediction is irresponsible.
, there is no reward for guessing right, and people laugh at me for guessing wrong. Especially at this time, even if I guess right, Coach Del Bosque may change. I am doing a thankless thing."
"Casillas, Salgado, Roberto Carlos Karanka, Campo, McManaman, Redondo, Herguera, Raul, Anelka, Morientes, 532, this
This is the strongest lineup that coach Del Bosque can put together."
Jiang Mu used his fingers to count out Real Madrid's starting 11 players one by one. This was the lineup when Real Madrid played Valencia in the last generation. It's hard to say whether Bosque will still line up like this in this generation, but
It doesn't matter to Jiang Mu whether Bosque arranges his troops like this or not, because if Bosque is such a starting lineup, after Jiang Mu points it out before the game, Bosque will be in a dilemma. Change it, this is a lineup that has been trained for a long time.
, if you don't change it, your opponent has already seen through it, and you feel guilty when using it. If Bosque didn't arrange his troops like this, it would just make the opponent think he has a plan.
What Jiang Mu said at the press conference quickly reached the ears of Real Madrid coach Vicente del Bosque. This shocked Real Madrid's father Vicente del Bosque because Jiang Mu said everything about his starting lineup was good. He was shocked.
, Del Bosque was a little scared. This young man was so smart and scary, because there were several positions that he made after careful consideration, such as whether to play Hierro or Helgra, whether to play McManaman or
On Savio, who is in average form and has not scored many goals, should Anelka start or be a substitute? These are decisions made only recently. Is Jiang Mu really that magical?
But no matter whether Jiang Mu is miraculous or blind, Bosque does not want to change this starting lineup, because this is a play style that he has thought over and over again and brainstormed. It can be said to be very targeted and has also been trained.
For a period of time, if you make a sudden change, you don’t know what will happen in the game. Besides, even if Jiang Mu knows Real Madrid’s starting lineup, he may not be able to find a way to deal with it. The head coach has a great influence on the outcome of the game.
, but it is not the decisive factor. It is the players who determine the outcome of the game.
The reason why Bosque is unwilling to change is not because he has much confidence in this lineup, but mainly because the 532 formation can best make up for the shortcomings of Real Madrid's defense.
Real Madrid's defenders are very capable, but they all like assists too much. Salgado has been ambushing the opponent's penalty area for a long time. Carlos is in the opponent's half more than in his own half. Even Hierro is the ball.
The important scorers of the team. But Salgado and Carlos still have to play. Carlos is a world-class player and cannot find a substitute of equivalent level. Salgado is even less good. That belongs to the chairman.
His son-in-law is also top-notch in ability. If he is asked to serve as a substitute, not only the chairman will not agree, but the fans will not agree either. At the same time, in terms of personnel configuration, with Morientes, a good header, in the frontcourt, if the winger cannot pass the ball, it will be difficult.
It's a waste.
In this case, Bosque can only play 532, with five defenders behind him. If the two full-backs are willing to assist, let them assist. Anyway, there are three center backs behind, and Redondo can also defend. The defense is not
As for being beaten badly by opponents. In the first half of this season, Real Madrid's performance was so poor mainly because of the poor defense. Now that Del Bosque has finally found a remedy, he definitely can't give up anymore.
Although Bosque decided to still use this lineup, he had to reassure the players. After Jiang Mu successfully guessed Real Madrid's starting lineup, the Real Madrid players were a little frightened. Some players thought that Jiang Mu had ancient oriental magic and could
The Unpredictable Prophet, he is called the Magic Coach because he has this special ability.
In this regard, Bosque found an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Bosque analyzed the reason why Jiang Mu guessed his starting lineup. He told the players that this is not a magical ability. Through normal analysis, any head coach can do it.
Make a good guess about your opponent's lineup.
In order to deal with Jiang Mu's psychological warfare, at the press conference the next day, Bosque directly announced his starting lineup, and also speculated on Alkmaar's starting lineup. The coach is very skilled, and Jiang Mu's starting 11 people
, he only guessed wrong in one position, which was the starting position of veteran Rai. He thought that Robben would serve as a winger and use speed to attack Real Madrid's wing. Most coaches would do this because Real Madrid's full-back offense is too outstanding.
But Jiang Mu didn't do that. He chose a more conservative tactic. Even Bosque didn't expect him to be so conservative.
