Chapter 447 The feel of the trophy

No one expected that Arsenal would contribute an own goal at the critical moment of the game, directly giving the good situation to the opponent.

"Diaby has shit on his head?" Wenger cursed, "This guy, sell him sooner or later, bastard."

West Ham United accepted the gift with a smile and directly overtook the score.

Although it was only the League Cup, the experience of the finals was not so easy to accumulate. West Ham United's players were certainly happy to see Arsenal give gifts, and their mentality was becoming more and more stable.

"Damn it, what should I do?" Fabregas was the captain of Arsenal. He couldn't stand up and lead the players to launch a counterattack at this moment because he was already in a state of confusion.

The entire Arsenal team was in chaos, and Wenger's roar on the sidelines was useless. There was no way, there was no one on the field who could stabilize the morale of the army, and he couldn't wake everyone up.

West Ham United had too many players with finals experience. They controlled the rhythm and gradually killed time. Other players saw Modric and a few others control the rhythm, and then integrated into the team's tactics, becoming more and more comfortable.

"So, the final is going to be played like this. Next time, I will definitely do better." Lewandowski thought to himself. He longed to become a top striker, and West Ham was the stage he had set his sights on.

He had already felt a lot of Jiang Shan's coaching ability within this year. Jiang Shan's casual instructions could make him feel the choices and practices of top strikers. He even felt that he already had the same shooting threat as Ronaldo.

The players on West Ham's back line gradually relaxed, and De Gea's tense nerves also relaxed, staring at the direction of the ball more accurately.

Seeing Van Persie's shooting action, De Gea yelled, "Leave it, I'll do it." He flew up, stretched his arms lightly, made a beautiful save, and easily took the ball off.

The landing point was judged very accurately. De Gea held the ball in his arms, then stood up domineeringly, waved his hand, and directed the defense line to press forward.

Jiang Shan nodded with satisfaction. That's it. With continuous experience in the game, the players will naturally grow. De Gea's dominance is also improving. When he can command the entire defense line, it will be the time for maturity.

Wenger sat helplessly on the coaching bench. He was very disappointed. The team fell behind, but no one stood up to encourage his teammates. Fabregas still needs to be tempered.

After Arsenal lost the ball, they were eager to equalize the score. Several frontcourt players kept sprinting. They had speed but no rules. They kept making mistakes and could not threaten West Ham's defense.

Kroos and Modric firmly controlled the midfield, and the game time passed by every second. Arsenal's mentality was also worn out. They could not organize an effective counterattack. Everything was in chaos.

After the game entered the 60th minute, Arsenal's counterattack intensity had weakened a lot, and Jiang Shan quickly made personnel adjustments.

Baines replaced Bale, and then Barak replaced Modric. Baines and Barak won few championships, so they added a little resume. Especially Baines, who will be West Ham's main left back in the next few years. Jiangshan doesn't want him to have enough final experience.

After being replaced, Bale was in a good mood. This season, his main position is left winger, even right winger. His offensive talent is gradually realized. Jiangshan also let him continue to feel the position of defender, which can be said to be carefully cultivated.

Wenger didn't think of a better way. The team's offense was not well organized, and he couldn't play for the players. There were no experienced veterans. This was Arsenal's biggest problem.

No one stood up at the critical moment, which was a pity.

At the last moment, Jiangshan also replaced Scott Parker to let the team's old players feel the changes in West Ham. He was already the captain. As long as the game was over, he would be the first player to lift the trophy.

This was a great honor. Upson looked at Parker enviously, helpless in his heart, "Alas... If I hadn't received a red card, I wouldn't have been taught a lesson by Jiangshan. I have to be more careful in the future."

Arsenal failed to score goals after all. West Ham controlled the rhythm of the game, but they also couldn't score goals and expand the score.

In this way, the score of 2:1 was maintained until the end of the game, and West Ham reversed Arsenal and won the first championship of the season.

The first championship trophy to be decided in the five major leagues is the English League Cup.

The referee finally blew the whistle to end the game. The unexpected result was that Arsenal scored two goals, and then West Ham won the championship.

Jiangshan raised his arms and celebrated with the fans. West Ham’s first championship is worth commemorating. Moreover, this championship is West Ham’s first championship trophy in nearly 30 years.

The last time West Ham won the championship trophy, the FA Cup, was in 1980, a full 30 years.

West Ham’s old fans burst into tears, "Dad, I finally saw West Ham win the championship again."

"Jiba, I have supported West Ham for 40 years, and I actually saw West Ham win the championship again 30 years later. God, I opened my eyes."

Jiangshan’s status in the hearts of fans has skyrocketed. When Jiangshan bought the team last season, there might still be fans who doubted him, but this season, especially after winning the championship, all doubts disappeared.

The stadium was filled with West Ham's songs, and West Ham's bubble dream became brighter and brighter.

Chinese fans were also happy for Jiangshan, "Jiangshan's Hammers are really powerful, and the Arsenal was hammered to pieces by the Hammers."

"Who would have thought that Arsenal players scored two goals and West Ham won the championship. Jiangshan's luck is too good, isn't it?"

"Where does the luck come from? It's obviously strength. If it weren't for the excessive psychological pressure, would Diaby have scored an own goal? I have to say that the Axe Gang is still very fierce."

"I love the Axe Gang."

Looking at the noisy fans, Wenger lowered his head and pursed his lips, "We failed again, but it's just the League Cup, there is no economic value. As long as we keep the league, our season will be a successful season."

Even if there is only a bonus of 100,000 pounds, West Ham still tried its best to grab the championship. They need championships to fill the team's honor room.

Now in West Ham's honor room, there are only four lonely trophies, one European Cup Winners' Cup, and three FA Cups. It's ugly.

Parker raised the small League Cup and felt happy. Fortunately, his tears were still strong and didn't fall.

"Long live... West Ham!" Parker felt full of strength. Now let him play another game, it must be hard, "Fortunately, I didn't leave with them. Perseverance will pay off. Thank you coach Jiangshan."

The players who left West Ham, all regretted it, right? Upson thought excitedly, celebrating with his teammates. It was the first time for him to touch the trophy. It felt like a lover's back. It was really nice.

"This season is not over yet. We still have a few trophies to fight for." Jiangshan lit a victory cigar and looked into the distance.
