Star Coach

"I was fooled. You actually used this trick. I couldn't defend against it." Guardiola walked into Upton Park and was greeted by deafening boos and photos of Guardiola's conflicts with players.

There are many players who have conflicts with Guardiola. When he first coached Barcelona, ​​he was very dissatisfied with Eto'o and Yaya Toure. Later, he spent a lot of money to buy Ibrahimovic, but he also didn't get along well with Guardiola.

Ibrahimovic threatened that he would fight Guardiola every time he saw him. Many fans are looking forward to it, but unfortunately it has never been realized.

Jiang Shan frowned, "I'm just telling the truth, don't you think so?"

"How did you know? I've never told anyone else about it." Guardiola was a little depressed, "I want to leave Barcelona."

"As your master, I can definitely tell." Jiang Shan pretended to be mysterious, "Of course, I hope you live well."

"But before leaving Barcelona, ​​I will win the Champions League and beat you. This is my wish, and I won't let the opportunity slip away again." Guardiola gritted his teeth and said softly.

"Great, I have the same idea, let's have two fair matches to see who wins and who wins the championship."

Guardiola is not conservative in away games, the iconic 433 tactics, their players' personal abilities are very strong, enough to remain unchanged in the face of changes.

In the goalkeeper position, Valdes is the first choice; on the back line, Alves, Puyol, Mascherano and Adriano partner.

The midfield trio, the golden trio, Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta, are Barcelona's strong guarantee; the front three, Messi leads the starting lineup, with Fabregas and Sanchez.

This lineup has a very large frontcourt fluidity and is difficult to defend. Guardiola learned from Jiangshan's way of arranging troops and tried a strikerless lineup.

Jiangshan was full of smiles. This game will definitely be exciting. He arranged a 4231 lineup.

In the goalkeeper position of West Ham, De Gea is still the starting player. He has matured a lot this season. Even though he is young, he still performs well. After all, he is also a veteran in the Premier League and has the hope of winning the Premier League Golden Glove this season.

On the defensive line, the combination of Baines, Cahill, Hummels and Glen Johnson is also a regular combination, and the performance is quite outstanding.

The double defensive midfielders in the midfield are Kroos and Kante. Anyway, Barcelona's players are of average height. Kante has no advantage in height against Barcelona, ​​but it will not become a disadvantage.

Lewandowski was at the front, Modric was behind him delivering the ammunition, and Royce and Bale were on the two sides.

After the game started, West Ham was not in a hurry to fight for control of the game, letting Barcelona control the ball and feel the atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals. In the first ten minutes, both sides were in the testing stage, the friction between the two sides was serious, and there were not many opportunities created, and they certainly could not score.

Influenced by the previous news, Barcelona's players were not very united in their minds, and there was a phenomenon of passing through and losing on the field, which is a very rare situation. Barcelona players have always claimed to be strong with tacit understanding, but today they obviously did not bring out the most powerful weapon.

Lewandowski carried Busquets to unload the ball and gave it to the side, and Bale broke through.

Unreasonable passing, Bale did not wait for Glen Johnson behind him, and passed it with a kick. Passed to himself three seconds later, and then overtook on the curve and passed Adriano directly.

Unreasonable, very scary way of breaking through, Adriano quickly turned around to catch up, but he was several positions behind and could not close the distance. Watching Bale pass the ball over Mascherano's head.

Lewandowski headed the ball, but the angle was a bit right, and Valdez hit the crossbar, missing the goal.

Lewandowski covered his head in frustration. This was the best chance for both sides in the first 30 minutes. If he scored, West Ham's passive situation would be much better.

Facing Barcelona, ​​which is proficient in passing and controlling, West Ham's defense is still relatively passive, but Jiangshan is also very familiar with passing and controlling, and has made detailed arrangements in every corner. As long as there are no unexpected events, West Ham can control the situation and not lose the ball.

Messi's personal ability is top-notch. He rushed over in the Messi corridor, and Kante stuck to him from the front of the penalty area, not giving him an easy chance to shoot. Messi had no choice but to pass the ball out and let Xavi reorganize.

Jiangshan watched the game calmly and was quite satisfied with Kante's performance. During this period, Kante played a lot of games and improved quickly. He already has the strength to become a major rotation player. Jiangshan is very optimistic about this guy. He is very motivated and calm.

Since Parker left, West Ham has had some problems with the team's midfield defense, and it was Kante's growth that made up for it. And Kante's talent ceiling is definitely higher than Parker's.

In the first half, neither side made any progress. The commentator was quite excited. "West Ham blocked Barcelona's attack. Their counterattack was very threatening. The combination of Lewandowski, Bale and Reus is already the top frontcourt combination in Europe. They have magical abilities."

"Barcelona seemed to have hit a wall today. Facing West Ham, they couldn't even break through the opponent's defense. Especially Messi, he played very lonely and didn't have the spirituality of the past."

"It can be seen that Barcelona players still have some grudges about the rumors of Guardiola's departure. No one wants to take the blame, which affects their performance. But now they need to make adjustments quickly, otherwise with Jiangshan's ability to adjust, he is likely to score in the second half."

Duan Xuan and Zhang Lu talked freely in the anchor room.

In this group of Champions League semi-finals, they are all optimistic about Barcelona, ​​but they also feel that Jiangshan's technical and tactical level is higher than Guardiola's. This gap seems to be able to smooth out the technical ability between the players on both sides.

"It's like this. Jiangshan's substitution adjustments and tactical adjustments have always been the best in the industry. They always get special results. It just depends on the fighting skills between Guardiola and Jiangshan in the second half."

The game soon entered the second half. Both Jiangshan and Guardiola chose to stay put and were not in a hurry to make substitutions.

"No, their tactics have changed." Guardiola looked at Jiangshan's formation, which seemed to have become a 433 formation, and it was quite flat.

Barcelona is still the third player. Iniesta breaks through and distributes the ball to Sanchez. Sanchez tries to break through Baynes' defense.

Baines followed suit and didn't make a hasty move. Kroos came to help defend, and Sanchez turned around and spiked the ball to continue passing. At this time, Baynes kicked him up, looking for this opportunity.

The ball flew up and immediately flew forward. Royce ran away, suddenly cut inside, escaped Alves' defense, and continued to distribute the ball. Lewandowski leaned on Puyol, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he still won the ball. Kowtow to Bell next to you.

Bell twisted the ball and squeezed in through the gap. The speed was too fast. The starting speed and sprinting speed were not something that Barcelona players could stop. Facing Valdes, Bell shot.
