The Netherlands plays such a historic role in world football (if unjustly, that three exits in the emergency final didn’t end with just one!), gave the world so many fearlessly large digs, coaches and clubs, which became the status of the teams. changed. Є colossi in the person of Ajax, PSV and Feyyonord – and AZ, let me go to the shanoble vіdstani a day after them. The team regularly plays in Eurocups (it has missed a total of three Euro seasons since 2004), a big star, which it sometimes gives to the grandees – and associating it is even more important.

Miraculously, it is so discordant with Alkmaar: the standard of the European province. Zgіdno with a small population census, Alkmaar may have a population of 109 thousand. In Ukraine, a place with such populations occupied 36 places – between Berdyansk and Uzhgorod. I realized that the Netherlands does a lot for our people, but that the country of Alkmaar is not in the top 20 of the largest.

“Syrny-farmers” is the price of AZ due to the fact that for the local place the main price (not rahuyuchi corresponds to AZ, of course) is the exchanges of sirovarіv. The sacred site of the museum, fairs act as a major tourist attraction – and there is nothing serious about qiu on the right hand side in Alkmari. The place is already very comfortable, but for the sake of the unambitious province, to bring little Holland behind the worlds.

І at tsiomu – an immeasurably large club, navit in a historical plan. What’s the secret?

Two stars, two lights on the floor

It is difficult to know a professional club in the Netherlands, for which they did not play as famous football players in their youth – but for AZ the coaches played a surprisingly big role. How are the legendary Dutch coaches of other clubs described? “Priyshov, after pumping the talanovite juveniles, rozkriv її to the equal of bright stars – and then, as if they had ambitions, went to Europe”. It’s not so with the “farmers”: the best coaches in their history have won the trophies ahead.

Named after Georg Kessler, I have little to say to non-fans of Dutch football, who want to become one of the silent players who have made the Eredivisie the strongest European championship. The Netherlands was fortunate to see such a carriage: when a Dutchman at the age of sixty remembered the war, the Holocaust, and, like the previous one, who hated the Germans, Kessler, the blue of the Dutch, who laid the foundation for the German professionalism for the Dutch .

Three “orange”, such as Kessler, who had been trained in 1966-70, began a career as a yoga coach. Vіn Mayzhe did not train with the big teams: the problem was not accepting the status of a star, the maximum force of gravity. Ale for low-middle teams Georg became a legend, monsieur. І 1980/81 season on the list of yogo head hits in line with Gerty’s vice championship (the most important achievement in the club’s history) and the UEFA Cup final with Cologne.

AZ won championship title with a win of 12 points in another month. Do not you mind? And how can you guess what the era was like as two points to win? The next player, Ajax, lost 7 more matches and allowed the Syrovars to focus on cup tournaments before the finish. The stench also looked bad: AZ won the Holland Cup and the UEFA Cup went to the final. Prograv: Even more coaching and legendary Bobby Robson’s Ipswich proved to be the three strongest.

One of the boxes in the AZ stadium is named after Georg Kessler.

As for Kessler, ten years after the completion of the coaching, Louis van Gaal is, as before, fresh, energetic and only planning to win the world championship in a few months.

So it has already happened that in 71 rotations Luis is clearly more popular, lower in the ranks, as more coaches experience a revival of their careers. Nameless failure of the selection, if the team of stars played the selection at the ES-2002 Portugal and Ireland (!), then we had the same in Barcelona (Louis called the sichni – and the club threatened the vilit at the time) – and as, it would retire, honor legends in Alkmari.

Ale Lui understood that it is too early to write off yogo from rachunkiv. In the 08/09 season, the team played in Munir El-Hamdau and Marten Martens for the star, did not miss any of the chances in Ajax with Suarez and Huntelar, Feyonord with Makayem and PSV with Afellaem. It is symbolic that the bigger or smaller names of that AZ – Jermaine Lens, Gratiano Pelle, Ragnar Klavan – played no major role in winning the championship title. With a mirrorless team, Van Gaal brought 11 points to the nearest follower and after great work: for the butt to Munich.

Another fair in Alkmaru

After the famous 80/81 season, one of the gravitators AZ (John Metgod) went straight to Real. After the 2008/09 championship, Demi de Zeuw, Nicholas Moisander and El Hamdau went to Ajax, Ari to Spartak and Romero to Sampdoria. AZ’s player list seems modest compared to the list of other clubs (even if Jermain Lance was indicted, I think he would have left behind the most expensive stuff in Dynamo history for a long time), and the ashes can go to buy and sell “sirovarіv”. be even richer.

Vincent Janssen cost Tottenham 22 million euros. Alireza Yahanbaksh Brighton (such a dbaylivym and thoughtful Brighton) – 19. Gus Til Spartak – 18. None of them brought new clubs practically no corsity – but a deeply provincial Dutch club got rich with, for their worlds, only nameless pennies.

The club does not live with the ideas of “Make AZ great again” – it is developing slowly. In the distant season they sell someone, in the distance – they tighten the belt, but I don’t want to grab more titles. Natomist puts a meta on the Rozbudov stadium AZ, which expands to 30 thousand spectators. At the same time, if the coronavirus fair closes, the stockpile of “sirovars” will cause nearly 15,000 deaths at home – for the capacity of the arena, 19 and 109 populated areas. Win, shvidshe, enjoy the status of the Dutch province, breed graves and carriages, like those gray heads.

The same “gravity and trainers” – trainers also triumph Alkmaar as a trampoline. For example, Arne Slot has opened an independent coaching career here. After seeing the wonderful 2019/20 season, if the ice did not win AZ for the third championship, Feenoord won. And on this occasion, the club got a new coach debutant: Pascal Janssen, who did not yet have a double PSV before Alkmaar.

Janssen’s first season at AZ is remarkable: the team finished third and performed better than Feyenoord Slot. The other is nasty – AZ finishes more than five times. Ale AZ and here you can serve as a target: you continue to trust the coach after a setback in results. For many of our clubs, the fact that the decline of brainwashing from objective factors (well, Feenoord went to the top, and his resources are simply invisible) wouldn’t be an argument? How many of them would call Janssen?

AZ right away: after greece from Dynamo they sent everything else, but the ancients know everything in the same way

Suppose Janssen wins the 4-3-3 arrangement, zave: although in other competitions the Dutch coaches still maintain their diversity, in the Heredivisie the norm is the name of St. Johan. And the axis of yoga dosvіd gris z young people at the same time actively vikoristovuєє “sirnymi peasants” – especially looking at those who work and “honestly” wonderfully navіt outside the worlds of Holland.

The team that played Dynamo in the Champions League qualifier lost nothing. Ten Koopmeiners also went to Atalanta for 14 million euros. Myron Boadu – for 17 from Monaco. Kelvin Stengs – for 15 against Nice. Owen Wijndal – for 10 to Ajax… A lot of money for a modest amount, and I will not tempt you to redevelop small houses of gravity – it is important that during three full transfer weeks “Sirn Farmers” sold the entire team, eleven football players , for a total amount of EUR 72.7 million.

Who will visit them? Obviously, AZ shkos i vytrativ: vytrativ team for tsі two rocks became 21.95 million euros. “Syrny farmers” took gravel from the clubs, which would go even lower in Eredivizia’s tracks (graves came from Gou Ekhed Eagles, Willem II, Zwolle). From whom they took, navpaki, superb in addition of European level: central defender Zinyo Vangoisden was hired at Intera, and left defender Milos Kerkez was transferred from Milan on a full-fledged basis.

More importantly, the club is also the most active victorious reserve of the youth team (for the speech, it is coached by Marten Martens himself) and Janssen’s participation in the work with juniors. Winger Myron van Brederode has moved from the doubles of the second division, but has already made his way to the main team; The 18th centre-back Maksim Dekker won’t win much for the U-21s, but he will form the basis for the first team’s last two games. In the warehouse є і Peєr Kopmeiners – Ten’s younger brother.

Before the speech, with the butt of the blindly telling youth of that nameless football recession of Holland, the fact that Janssen is looking out for the doppelganger of the representative of the great dynasty. In the first season, Maxim Gullit’s team was transferred to the first team: the son of Ruud Gullit, a distant relative of Johan Cruijff (The black tulip has long been friends with the daughter of St. Johan’s brother).

Maksim made his debut for AZ in European Cups, but then quickly penetrated to the main squad, but did not win at Cambuur. And last summer Janssen changed from the first team to Sem Westerveld – the keeper is already of the third generation. Just as yogo Genni Ardes did voodomiy hіba to fans of Dutch football history, then yogo uncle Sander Westerveld achieved great fame in the 1990s and 2000s. The same Sander won for Liverpool in the 2000/01 season, also in the five-cup season: the red ones won the UEFA Cup and Super Cup, the English Cup and Super Cup, as well as the League Cup.

Dutch footballers are one with one, creating dynasties and creating new graves. tse, if you think about it, it makes sense. Try to guess: do you know how many Dutch footballers and coaches? tse in the 10 million country. It would be great, the special life of the yakbi of all these stars and legends did not change in any way.

Young people are insanely diluted with dosvіdom, in addition, there are two veterans in the same house. Bruno Martins India already turned to the Netherlands from Stoke City and Jordi Klasi – one of the few graves that captured the battles between AZ and Dynamo. The good old lazhovik Ron Vlar ended his career before that … It is important that on the aphids the sale of the best AZs just miraculously started.

The only goal was in the first game of the Conference League qualifier against Dundee United (0:1). Match-vіdpovіd “sirnі farmers” won 7:0, in addition they scored five times before halftime. Vicente lived at the home game with a 4:0 win, and Portugal – 2:1. In the national championship, AZ is not so generous with goals, but achieved 13 points in five games of the season, so that only Nijmegen could draw.

AZ can play today in the reincarnation of the Dnipro, or perhaps program. Ale z look at the management, the selection, the development of the club from the Dutch province of the pocket just in the other world. I tse the same to rechі, on yakі varto orient.
