Star Coach

Chapter 462 Two New Armies

Lao Lei was not breathing very smoothly. He was a little strange. Tottenham's lineup was obviously not bad at all, and it was even among the top in the league.

But facing strong teams like West Ham, why can't you get the results you want? Moreover, losing is quite scary.

Tottenham is a unique team and is often reversed. When Tottenham face Manchester United, they can win by 3 in the first half, and then lose by 5 in the second half. They are so willful. The situation was not improved until Pochettino took charge.

However, Tottenham, coached by Pochettino, is prone to losing points in key games and also does not have the aura of a big-name team.

The famous West Ham also likes Tottenham now. They scored 3:0 before the first half was over and firmly controlled the situation on the court. They were so domineering.

Green stood in front of the goal, feeling extremely tormented. He looked at De Gea opposite, "What the hell, why am I so bad? I don't want to live anymore when I encounter a team like this."

"I thought I could occupy the main position here, make a name for myself, and let everyone know that I am England's national team and my ability is no worse than anyone else. However, the reality is definitely wrong."

Parker was also suffering. Facing his once-familiar teammates, he was a bit unfamiliar. He kept committing fouls and had already received yellow cards. He was under great pressure.

"Yeah, Jiangshan asked me to stay in the team. I want to make a lot of money. Is it wrong? As for targeting me like this?" Not to mention the depression in my heart, I am extremely dissatisfied. Facing West Ham's midfield group, he couldn't stop it at all! Their own defender group is a sinkhole, and they are like undercover agents on the court.

There is no suspense in the game, just one word: lose.

The key is to lose 4, which is really ugly. Jiang Shan doesn't want this either. After all, it's always good to save some face. He wanted to give Defoe and the others a chance to break the duck egg, but Upson was so mad that he wouldn't let Defoe pass at all.

Although Defoe is fast, it is not easy to get over West Ham's mountain-like defense.

After defeating Tottenham, Jiangshan's team has surpassed Manchester United in goal difference and temporarily grabbed the top spot in the standings. Manchester United will play later. If they cannot win more than 2 goal difference, the standings will change hands.

Jiangshan's hopes were dashed. Manchester United defeated Wigan by the same score in the subsequent game and regained the top spot in the standings.

Wigan is also a well-known Manchester United cash machine. Ferguson has been immersed in the Premier League for many years and has too many old friends. It is not surprising to score a big score.

The battle for the standings has just begun. As the season progresses, Jiangshan does not believe that Manchester United will not make mistakes. In the previous life of Jiangshan, Manchester United failed to qualify for the league and the Champions League group stage, which ruined such a good group situation. Jiangshan continues to lure Ferguson towards the Champions League group stage. If they qualify, their focus on the league will be relaxed.

Of course, the possibility of West Ham making mistakes is also very high. They are under great pressure in the Champions League group stage. In the first game, they face Naples. The two new Champions League players are about to meet at this time.

After Walter Mazzarri coached Naples, the team showed strong combat effectiveness. Last season, they ranked third in the league and successfully entered the Champions League group stage. This was the first time they entered the Champions League after the restructuring of the Champions League.

As for West Ham, I don’t know how many years ago it happened. They played in the Champions League too few times. Jiangshan can’t remember the last time West Ham played in the Champions League.

Experience in the Champions League can sometimes determine how far a team can go. After Manchester City and Tottenham entered the Champions League, it has been difficult to break through in the group stage, which has something to do with their experience.

Last season West Ham won the Europa League trophy and this is a completely different game again. The opponent's strength is stronger, the chance is higher, and the pressure on the new players is great.

But Jiangshan has particularly rich experience in the Champions League. He already has three Champions League titles in his hands. What should he be afraid of? There are also several players in the team who have won the Champions League, and there is no lack of experience in the Champions League. The first game is at home, so Jiangshan is still confident.

Mazzarri doesn't think so. "Both of our teams are newcomers to the Champions League. Experience will not be part of the game. We will defend well on the road. I believe in our strength."

Mazzarri has reason to be confident. The Naples team has many powerful players. Cavani on the forward line was the top scorer in Serie A last season, and many wealthy clubs are watching! There is Slovakia international Hamsik in the midfield. Manchester United has always been involved with him. I don't know if it is raising the price.

Jiang Shan appreciates Napoli's team-building ideas. They are quite thoughtful and many of the players are trained by themselves. They can be regarded as a breath of fresh air in Serie A.

"Mazzarri is very good, and his offense is very imaginative. Therefore, this game is a big problem for us." Jiangshan is very polite. Since we said they have no experience, we have to express it, "Western Han Dynasty Mu has never appeared in the Champions League and is considered a new team, but it doesn’t matter, we will continue to make history.”

Before Jiang Shan spoke, he also asked someone to check the team's history. Well, there were no surprises. They didn't appear in the Champions League.

After all, the previous results were too poor. In the earliest days, only the league champions were eligible to participate in the Champions League. In addition, when they win the FA Cup, they can participate in the European Cup Winners' Cup.

After Jiang Shan took over West Ham, the team's history was constantly refreshed, and the fans who had stuck with it for decades finally felt what it was like to be a fan of a wealthy club.

I didn't expect that midweek matches could be so exciting and frequent. This season, the price of West Ham tickets has increased by 10%, but the crazy fans can't resist it, and the season ticket sales are sold out within an hour.

Therefore, Jiangshan's desire to expand the stadium is getting stronger and stronger. It's all a lot of income!

The current number of seats at Upton Park is less than 40,000, and every game is full. Conservative estimates show that the stadium must be expanded to at least 60,000 seats to satisfy the crazy fans.

The fans entered the stadium early, and the Naples fans who went on the away expedition were no less eager. They were eager to qualify from the group, just like West Ham fans.

In the away game, Mazzarri was not conservative and still played a 442 lineup. Goalkeeper De Sanctis, who lost the second most goals in Serie A last season, was second only to Buffon, and his defense was quite solid.

On the back line, Aronica, Campagnaro, Cannavaro and Maggio lined up. Cannavaro is not the future coach of Hengda, but just a new young man.

The midfield consists of Gargano, Zuniga, Hamsik and Inler, and the forward line consists of the popular Cavani and Lavezzi.
