Star Coach

"Move faster." Jiang Shan faced several players seriously, "Silva, your passing speed must be faster, just a little faster."

"Lewand, you have to run to the right wing at this time. Remember to move forward at any time."

As the season approaches, Jiang Shan speeds up the pace of training. His goal is no longer the team's opening games, but the European Super Cup, facing the new Champions League champion, Barcelona.

Guardiola once again won the Champions League and became popular throughout Europe. Moreover, the Barcelona team he led was so powerful that countless fans regarded them as Team Cosmos.

How to beat Barcelona? No one knows, at least in Mourinho's first year in La Liga, he was beaten badly by Guardiola. His defensive counterattacks never had results, and players were often sent off, which made it uncomfortable to watch.

"If it's 11 against 11, I've never lost." Mourinho said angrily.

During this period, West Ham is almost in a closed training state. Jiangshan has very ambitious goals for the new season. In addition to competing for the league championship, there is also the need to reach at least the semi-finals of the Champions League. This is not an easy task.

As for the FA Cup and League Cup, he will give them to the young players in the team and give them enough opportunities to play.

"Bald, how do you feel about the team's condition?" Jiang Shan asked his new assistant, bald Zidane.

Zidane was previously Real Madrid's youth training coach. Jiang Shan came forward to invite him and finally left for England. He is eager to become the head coach in the near future. He has only officially become Jiang Shan's assistant in the past few days.

Responsible for leading team training, Jiang Shan can free up his hands to do other things. The tactical layout is more precise and the potential of the players is constantly stimulated. He needs these players to collectively mature, otherwise he will not be able to make waves in Europe.

"They performed well and I believe we will get the results we want this season."

Jiang Shan sneered, "I don't listen to your flattery, just talk about the problem."

"There are still many mistakes in passing and cutting. If we encounter a team with strong defense, it will be very difficult to cooperate normally. Of course, this takes time. As the players' tacit understanding increases, it will be much better."

Jiang Shan nodded, "Our goal is not just the Premier League. We also want to dominate Europe in the future. It cannot be achieved easily."

West Ham won both games at the beginning of the season, one 4:0 and one 2:0, with a goal difference of 6. But this performance is not enough to support them to the top of the league.

West Ham's light was overshadowed by Manchester United.

Manchester United scored a big score of 5:0 in the first game, slightly overpowering West Ham. The second game broke out immediately. Facing Arsenal, the two strong players competed and actually scored a crazy 8:2, which shocked Europe.

Arsenal suffered the worst defeat in history. Wenger also apologized to the fans after the game, and the team even refunded the tickets of away fans. Because of the team's performance, they are not eligible to receive money.

On the last day of the transfer market, Arsenal made a crazy move and bought four players including Per Mertesacker in one go, using reinforcements to make up for the wounded hearts of the fans.

After two league games, Jiangshan led the team to Monaco to prepare for the European Super Cup.

Moreover, this season's Champions League group stage draw was also held at the Monaco International Exhibition and Convention Center, so Jiangshan came to Monaco with two tasks.

The owner of the Monaco team, Prince Albert, warmly received Jiang Shan, "Finally I've been waiting for you again, the European Super Cup, and you still came here. My friend, I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."

"Please, I came here with a competition mission and a group draw. We have so few points and we are all teams in the third tier. I hope we won't be drawn into the group of death."

"Haha, if we are drawn into the group of death, I think the other teams will suffer, right?" Albert didn't mind at all, "I don't care, we haven't been together for a long time, there is a game tonight, you must come with me ”

"I have arranged your players. After the game, have a good time. Of course, we have different identities from them, and it is easy to cause problems when we play together. We play by ourselves." Albert raised his eyebrows, as if Very proud.

It seems that there is a hidden treasure. This guy recently likes Japanese and Korean female stars, and I heard that the fun is particularly exciting. Jiang Shan was still afraid that he would die suddenly.

The first thing to be done is the draw for the Champions League group stage. As expected, West Ham has become one of the focuses of the venue. After Europe's top giants, they have the most hope of becoming a giant team, and no one wants to face West Ham.

The team led by Jiang Shan is very difficult to deal with at any time. It is too difficult to beat. Even for a strong team like Barcelona and Real Madrid, they lose more than they win against a top team.

Guardiola is under great pressure now, instead of glancing at his "master". Later, his Barcelona will meet the powerful West Ham. It will definitely be a match between Mars and the Earth. If they are drawn into the same group again, haha, it will be a lot of fun.

A season, at least three games, this is the treatment that Real Madrid only has. Real Madrid has frequently met with Barcelona in recent years. In various competition situations, fans are getting tired of it.

"How will Jiangshan deal with my team?" Guardiola was thinking about football. "He pointed out Ferguson and defeated Manchester United the way Barcelona did. It's a pity that Manchester United's hard power is not enough, otherwise we may overturn."

He looked at Jiangshan and found that Jiangshan was also looking at him. He quickly turned his head, a little shy. Mourinho pretended to be calm and chatted with Ferguson with a smile, "Will you continue to win the Premier League this season?"

"Hey, I haven't lost enough in the Champions League, I plan to keep going."

The draw began, and the eight seeded teams were drawn one by one. Next, the teams in other tiers were divided into groups.

Jiang Shan frowned, with a bad feeling that they would be drawn into the group of death anyway.

Theoretically, the toughest group West Ham could encounter was the first-tier teams Bayern, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, ​​after all, the Premier League occupies three of them, and Porto and Inter Milan are also first-tier teams.

The second tier is AC Milan, Shakhtar, Villarreal, Lyon, and Marseille, and the fourth tier teams also have two tough bones to chew, Naples and Dortmund.

"Huhuhuhu..." There were exclamations at the draw site, which was rarely seen.

Jiang Shan looked up and saw that it was indeed the case. Encountering the group of death, this season's Champions League is not easy to deal with, and the league may be affected.

West Ham and Bayern are in Group A, and the second-tier team is Shakhtar Donetsk, who also has the strength to qualify. The key is the fourth-tier team, Napoli of Serie A.

"Ahem, luckily I didn't draw Dortmund, otherwise I wouldn't have to play in the league, just dealing with these teams is enough." Jiang Shan smiled, and no one knew what he was thinking.

West Ham entered the death group, and Bayern coach Van Gaal, Shakhtar Donetsk and Napoli all looked very unhappy.

They didn't want to meet Jiang Shan's team! How can they qualify?
