Star Coach

With the team in the top four of the league, Jiangshan is under much less pressure. With the return of the injured players, West Ham's status has been improving and a winning streak has begun. Before the home game against Sevilla, they had won five consecutive games in the league and ranked third in the league.

"We must win the home game, there is no reason." Jiangshan said coldly to the players, "If you want to win the championship, you can't show mercy to any opponent."

This game is related to the success or failure of the next few games. If West Ham wins smoothly, there will be room for buffer in the next few games. At least when facing Sevilla away, they can save their strength for other games.

Jiangshan sent all the main players to play. Reus and David Silva are very familiar with the La Liga team. As expected, they started and played a 442 formation. There are also new forces such as Bale, Parker, Ballack and Hargreaves on the bench, and they are mobile.

Sevilla was kicked out of the Champions League group stage, holding its breath, and also wanted to win the Europa League to make a name for itself.

Sevilla also has many good players, including goalkeeper Barras, Fazio, Cáceres, Spahic, and Navarro in the back line, midfielders Medel and Rakitic as double defensive midfielders, Navas, Trochowski, and Del Moral in front, and striker Negredo at the front.

After the game started, West Ham firmly controlled the rhythm of the game and left no chance for the opponent.

Kroos and Modric controlled the midfield, advancing and retreating in a reasonable manner, and the passing between several people easily tore through Sevilla's midfield defense.

Of course, the Sevilla players did not expect West Ham to have such a strong fighting power. Most of the information they had obtained before was about West Ham's games in the Premier League and several Europa League group matches.

It seems that the strength is above average, and there is definitely no strong control. Unexpectedly, facing the La Liga team, the passing and control are better than the La Liga strong teams? How can we play this?

Lewandowski unloaded the ball, and no one confronted him physically. He felt a little uncomfortable and thought, "No confrontation at all? Their midfield and backcourt are so cowardly?"

But he didn't waste time. He observed his teammates' running positions easily and casually. With a toe, the ball passed Rakitic who was defending. Suarez rushed to the front court and unloaded the ball.

Suarez moved quickly. Facing Spahic, he was not afraid at all. He dribbled calmly, dribbled and dribbled in one go, passed the opponent and even passed two people, and rushed into the penalty area in one breath. The opportunity to shoot appeared.

Barras rushed to attack, but Suarez calmly put the ball to the other side. David Silva got rid of Navarro and shot forward. His movements were brisk and the ball went straight to the lower right corner.

1:0, West Ham scored a lightning goal. Less than 5 minutes after the start, West Ham had taken the lead in the score.

Jiangshan's pre-match deployment finally came into effect. Sevilla still underestimated West Ham's fighting power and was assassinated by their tactics.

"Only by taking the lead early can we retain our strength in the second half." Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Sevilla for not paying attention, otherwise they would have a hard time in the next game.

In the next game, West Ham will play against Manchester City in the FA Cup. This is a difficult game. They are also eager to break through the cup and will not give up the fight for the FA Cup.

Sevilla is not a soft persimmon after all. After returning to the home court of the Europa League from the Champions League, they were hit by West Ham and immediately woke up.

"Go up, they are not as strong as imagined." Medel encouraged his teammates to press forward, squeeze West Ham's backcourt space, and continue to press. West Ham will definitely make mistakes.

It has to be said that Sevilla's passing and control skills are still good. They are currently ranked 5th in the La Liga and are also one of the strong teams. They still have hope of winning a Champions League seat at the end of the season.

The combination of Cahill and Upson is strong but lacks finesse. Facing Sevilla's fine frontcourt cooperation, they seem to be stretched and under great pressure.

Sure enough, Navas made a living eating him. His pass tore through West Ham's defense and found Negredo on the forward line.

Negredo dribbled past the opponent, flashed out of the shooting space, and pushed forward urgently with full force.

Green reacted quickly and flew to save the ball, but he couldn't touch the ball at all. Fortunately, the ball was crooked and missed the target.

In this wave of attack, Jiangshan didn't stand up from the coaching seat from beginning to end. Although the back line was a bit chaotic, the opponent's ability to seize opportunities was still slightly worse. If it was Lewandowski, it would have probably scored.

There is no way. Negredo has this characteristic. The foreplay is sufficient, but at the critical moment, he just can't get hard, which limits his development. This characteristic is almost possessed by England's Welbeck. Everything is good in the front, but the final shot is outrageous and maddening.

On the other hand, West Ham's counterattack seemed to be at ease, creating threats frequently. David Silva knew Sevilla very well and easily found an opportunity. Lewandowski headed the ball to Reus, who attacked from the left.

Baines went down the bottom to help attract the attention of the defender. Reus walked a few steps along the penalty area line and suddenly kicked the ball hard.

The angle was just right, the ball went straight into the dead corner, and when Barras reacted, the ball had already entered the net. In the end, he decided to remain still. He quietly picked the ball out of the net, "The second time, I swear, there will definitely not be a third time."

Royce's shooting action often appears during training and has become one of his signature actions. The power of the little rocket has gradually been demonstrated. When the little rocket takes off, West Ham United will achieve results.

Jiangshan is very satisfied with the progress of today's game. Both offense and defense are very smooth. In just 20 minutes, the team has taken a 2:0 lead and almost locked the victory.

"Not enough, keep attacking." Jiangshan walked to the sidelines and continued to put pressure on the team. He wanted to end the game at halftime. In the second half, he would replace a few new players and keep the main players' physical strength until the next game.

In the following time, both sides attacked and defended each other, but neither scored.

The score of 2:0 was maintained until the beginning of the second half.

Although West Ham United was leading, Jiangshan took the lead in making personnel adjustments, and he changed two people at a time.

Ballack and Scott Parker replaced Kroos and Modric. The two of them controlled the rhythm of the midfield. Although they were not as good as the main players, Silva was still in the frontcourt, and the offensive ability did not decline much.

After the opening, Parker's sudden crazy sprint played a huge role, crushing Sevilla's midfield defense, and rarely sent a wonderful through ball. Suarez saw the opportunity to insert and shot into the net.

The score became 3:0, and the victory was locked early.

Jiangshan finally settled down. As long as this score is maintained, West Ham will not be eliminated in the next round even if they lose by a small score.

In the 60th minute, Jiangshan made the last personnel adjustment, letting Hargreaves go up and replace Cahill's central defender position.
