Chapter 109: Dutch Cup Final

Van Gaal, as usual, made a wave in front of the media, looking forward to the future of the game.

The winner of the League Cup didn't dare to say, the final opponent came out, Sevilla from La Liga, a strong opponent among the strong.

Historically, Sevilla won the UEFA Cup this year and then beat Champions League champions Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup. The bloody score, 3:0, Barcelona can't even cover the fig leaf.

Facing Sevilla in the final, Van Gaal certainly knows how to keep a low profile, isn't it looking for death at this time? Isn't he unaware of the team's recent situation?

As for the Dutch Cup, it will be won anyway, facing Ajax, fourth in the league. However, they have Huntelaar, the second highest scorer in the Eredivisie, and the quality is extraordinary.

The Dutch FA has also made a schedule change for AZ Alkmaar's match, with Ajax's agreement to move the Dutch Cup forward by a day to 6 May.

May 11 is the final of the Confederations Cup.

After the game, Van Gaal put his arm around Kaisa, "If it weren't for you today, we wouldn't even be able to get into the League Cup final." Next game, do you want to continue? ”

"I'm not going to play in the league, there's only one game left. The honor of the Golden Boot Award and the Assist King, others can't keep up. It's better to save some energy. ”

"That's right, let them lose, save us from pretending. This group of guys ......" Van Gaal whistled, on the same line as Kaisa, and it was really comfortable!

AZ Alkmaar have already won the title ahead of schedule, with the league award ceremony in the final home game, which is now long over.

Kaisa also successfully got new easter eggs, and if he won the championship, he could get star skills. Kaisa is quite satisfied with the skills in front of him, and his arsenal has one more.

The last game was away from home against Heerenveen, but Kaisa did not play and the team also lost "smoothly".

This is the last reminder before the two finals, if you don't give it your all, I'm afraid that the last two championships will slip away. There are no champions, not to mention the lack of prize money. Also to cut the price in transfer negotiations. The players know this better than anyone else.

So in the past few days of training, the players have arrived earlier than the other and have fought hard.

In the Dutch Cup final against Ajax, both sides gave their best to put out the strongest squads.

On Alkmaar's side, Kaisa started as promised after a period of recuperation. The rest of the starting lineup did not change much, but Lanzate did not start for the League Cup final and sat on the bench.

The veteran carried it for a season, and at the end of this period there was a problem with his physical strength, Van Gaal had cards in his hand, and he didn't take too hard and took a rest.

On the Ajax side, the main force is exhausted.

Funk guards the gates; The backline of Hatinga, Grigra, Vermaelen and Ersson lined up, with Pinal, Galasek, Lindberg and Babel in midfield; Up front, Bukari and Huntelaar play together.

I don't know if it was agreed, but other teams played against AZ Alkmaar at the last moment, almost all of them used a 442 lineup to impact AZ Alkmaar's defense.

Van Gaal also seems to be accustomed to the opponent's arrangement, and once again sacrificed the 451 formation, which is not afraid of your double center forward.

Hiddink's PSV Alkmaar's tactics against AZ Alkmaar are widely agreed, and it might have worked better if they had been used in the middle of the season, but unfortunately it was already the end of the season when they played against them, and there was not much room for other teams to adjust and learn.

In today's game, Van Gaal also made other adjustments, and Ran Kaisa occupied the No. 10 position, giving full play to his shooting advantage and being a half free man.

With Kaisa's physical fitness, it is not a problem to play any position, but the central defender and goalkeeper are not competent, and the No. 10 position is strange and unfamiliar, and it can still be supported.

Therefore, as soon as the match began, Kaisa took the initiative to face the combination of Huntelaar and Capri and did not give them any chance. The No. 10 position took the initiative to defend and became the team's first line.

Van Gaal didn't expect this change, let alone Huntelaar and Capri, as long as they retreated to get the ball, they had to face Kaisa, which was very uncomfortable. Van Gaal smiled, as if he had discovered a new continent again, "This guy often surprises me!" ”

Kaisa took the initiative to harass the opponent's retreating forwards, delaying the opponent's attack, and it will definitely be popular in the future. Van Gaal judged the direction of the team's configuration, and the future will be more of an all-attacking and all-defensive era.

The striker is about to start counter-attacking on the spot, and now Barcelona has begun to do it, and it has not yet taken shape.

"The-stirring striker ......," Van Gaal teased, "my future is not with AZ Alkmaar, and it would be great if I could continue to coach Kaisa." ”

Van Gaal has coached Kaisa, and his vision is getting higher and higher, thinking about which big team to coach again. But this year, we must win the "Little Triple Crown".

Leagues, cups and League cups.

Huntelaar took the ball, Kaisa suddenly pounced, very fierce, Huntelaar had already been hit by Kaisa psychological shadow, and accidentally lost the ball.

Blind was helpless, "The top two scorers are too different in level. Huntelaar is no match for Kaisa! ”

Kaisa has 38 goals in the league and Huntelaar has 31 goals, but fans think that Huntelaar is a notch behind Kaisa. You must know that Kaisa comes from the football desert, and he has been seen clearly, and if he is not at a superior level, he will not be recognized by the fans at all.

After Kaisa got the ball, he began to organize an attack, but unfortunately his teammates did not give their best and failed to open the door of Ajax.

After the first half, the two sides played 1:1, and it was two strange penalties. The game was quite scorching.

Kaisa changed his position in the second half, returning to the winger position and no longer clinging to the No. 10 position. Van Gaal's tactical arrangement was more aggressive, and all the balls were given to Kaisa to let him hit the goal and change the tide of the game.

Ajax's response was no less radical. There are always two people around Kai Sa, who are always harassing and not giving Kai Sa a chance to get up.

Kaisa passes the ball out, but helplessly, his teammates often waste opportunities. Thankfully, Ajax's two strikers were equally soft-footed, and AZ Alkmaar were able to keep the game drawn.

In the 70th minute of the game, Blind made a substitution, Babel went off, and then a striker Teyas. The lineup changed to 433, ready to attack, and the last desperate moment came.

Kaisa is very excited, isn't this a chance for us? He is the captain on the field, and immediately asked his teammates to change the formation, and also changed to the 433 formation, who is afraid of whom?

Van Gaal is very satisfied with Kaisa's decisiveness, as long as Kaisa is on the field, AZ Alkmaar is equivalent to an additional assistant coach, who can make the best judgment on the field at any time.

Players are sometimes more sensitive than managers, and as long as they deal with it properly, a good midfield commander is the coach on the pitch.

After opening the stance, Kaisa has a lot more space to play, there is a gap in front, and the space for sprinting is more than doubled.

However, Ajax was well-trained, switching to a 433 formation, and their attacking power increased greatly, and Huntelaal suddenly found a good opportunity and almost scored.

Ajax gets a set-piece! Pienal drove out, without threat, and was kicked out by Shas, straight to the front.

There were three AZ Alkmaar players sprinting up front, Kaisa on the left, Perez in the middle, a little slower, and on the other side was Aviradze, who had just come on the pitch, and the third line was fast.

The ball fell to Perez's feet, he was not sure, he didn't dare to stop the ball, and found that Kaisa had already reached the front of the big penalty area, and another big foot, the problem is for you...... (My health is improving, three shifts today, and another shift at 5 p.m., thank you for the reward of the fourth.) Tomorrow the three watches will remain the same. )
