High.

During this time, Chen Ping was very high-profile, fighting with almost everyone in the media with those football commentators, English football celebrities, journalists, and even some Premier League managers. It's completely like I'm the boss of the world, and I don't care about anyone at all. It's to tell everybody that we're aiming for a Champions League place at West Ham and we're aiming for a top-four finish this season.

Aggressive.

Completely fearless.

After winning five wins and one loss in the first six rounds of the Premier League, Chen Ping's performance became more and more high-profile. After the victory over Chelsea, Chen Ping even said in a high-profile manner that the Premier League does not have a defense that West Ham cannot break, and there is no stadium in the Premier League that West Ham cannot attack. West Ham have to use attack, destroy the defence of all Premier League teams, and use attack to get a Champions League place.

Chen Ping's arrogance, which is the enemy of the world, has led many Premier League coaches to criticize Chen Ping, thinking that Chen Ping is too proud and too high-profile. It doesn't do Chen Ping any good for the young West Ham like this. But having said that, in fact, many opponents are really nervous about West Ham and attach great importance to West Ham. Including attaching great importance to Chen Ping's remarks, he did not dare to ignore them at all.

Spirit.

West Ham are very sharp now, a sharpness that has not been seen in the Premier League for a long time since the fall of Leeds United. The three clubs with the best results in the Premier League are Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham United.

Arsenal is a very mature team, after Wenger seven or eight years of building, the current Arsenal in the Premier League is completely a beautiful landscape. And Arsenal's players are top players in all positions, and the combination of old, middle and young is very good. And although Chelsea has a character coach Mourinho, Chelsea is not as aggressive as Mourinho's character. Mourinho is unforgiving, but his coaching style is the opposite, seeking stability. As a result, Chelsea's style of play is solid and conservative.

Only West Ham United, this year's promoted horse, has the most energy. The game is full of tigers and tigers, and there is a momentum that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

West Ham United Youth Army.

One of the biggest characteristics of the youth army is that it is fearless, not afraid of any opponent at all, and does not care who the opponent is when it goes crazy. Now West Ham United Youth Army still has a young young marshal like Chen Ping. It is impossible to reassure the opponent with the same sharpness from top to bottom. And West Ham's results in the new season are so good, how can opponents not pay attention to West Ham.

All of them are ready to fight.

On September 25, 2004, St James' Park, West Ham United took on Newcastle United in the seventh round of the English Premier League. Newcastle's new manager Souness has been cautious this season. After Newcastle's veteran coach Robson left his coaching position, Souness got the reins of Newcastle. Originally, Souness also led Blackburn Rovers to play the first round of the Premier League, and he played against Chen Ping.

But with Robson leaving, Souness became Newcastle manager and Mark Hughes became Blackburn's new manager. This is the second time that Souness has faced Chen Ping this season.

Newcastle have had a very poor start to the season.

The four rounds of the league are one draw and three defeats, and Souness is constantly out of class. Fortunately, Newcastle began to recover in the next two rounds of the league, winning two consecutive victories against Blackburn Rovers and Southampton, and the team finally got on the right track.

Newcastle's quality is strong.

In the Premier League, if you talk about strength on paper, Newcastle is actually no worse than the average strong team. It's not even necessarily worse than Liverpool, and it is definitely the strength to finish in the top six in the Premier League. At the time of Robson's stay, Newcastle were also one of the strong contenders for a Champions League spot.

Now facing the menacing West Ham United, Souness is very cautious.

As a player, Souness was invincible and was one of the best players of that era. After becoming a coach, Souness is not as brilliant as he was when he was a player, but he is also a championship coach.

Souness started his coaching career in the Soviet Super League, as a player and coach at the same time. In his more than ten years of coaching career in Scotland, Souness has won almost all the honors of the Soviet Super League. As a Liverpool celebrity, after more than ten years in Sue, he returned to the Premier League to coach Liverpool and helped Liverpool win an FA Cup. Later, he also coached Blackburn Rovers and also won the FA Cup, so he is a very experienced coach.

Souness has been a head coach for 26 years and has a lot of experience. And Souness was also young and knew the sharpness of a young coach. Now West Ham is high morale, and Chen Ping, a young coach, is aggressive, Souness immediately chose to be stable.

Souness chose to stabilize his position first and control the pace of the game first.

Then play West Ham's holes on both wings. Benitez spotted a hole in West Ham's flank, and then hit West Ham and threw away his armor. And Mourinho also found out, but he couldn't use it.

Now Souness has also discovered, and it can even be said that there is a hole in the full-back position of West Ham, which all managers in the Premier League know. West Ham's two full-backs are typical of strong offense and weak defense, especially left-back Martin Antony is a full-back changed to full-back, and there are problems in positioning and team coordination, which is a big hole. Including West Ham United's central defender Pepe this year, who is also a little unstable.

Therefore, the biggest problem for West Ham at the moment is between centre-backs and full-backs.

So Souness wanted to learn from Benitez.

You're not very bullish at West Ham and want a Champions League place. And now coming to St James' Park with the momentum of the victory over Chelsea, Souness has opted to avoid the attack. However, as long as West Ham attack, Souness will give West Ham a taste of Newcastle's attacking strength.

The young coach was slapped in the face after being too high-profile, and Souness has seen it countless times in his coaching career. His goal now is to teach Chen Ping, a young coach, a lesson that the Premier League is not a lower league.

But after the game started, Souness's face was very unsightly. Although West Ham faced Chelsea, they were already playing defensive counter-attacks. But Souness doesn't think it's a regular way for West Ham to play. After all, West Ham have always been known for their attacking play. In the six league games of the new season, except for the game against Chelsea, West Ham have taken attack.

And now that Chen Ping is so high-profile and so bullish, in Souness's opinion, West Ham should rely on the current momentum and move forward. How can you brag so badly, but when it comes to the game, you choose this obscene style of play.

Chen Ping's choice for this game is exactly the same as playing Chelsea.

Seeing West Ham United's style of play, Souness kept cursing Chen Ping. A lot of people who followed the game were also dumbfounded. You Chen Ping also made a lot of nonsense before, saying that the Premier League does not have a defense that West Ham cannot break, and the Premier League does not have a stadium that West Ham cannot attack. West Ham are going to destroy the Premier League team's defence with attack. 123 Literary Network

It's so nice to say, it's so powerful, but what about the result?

It's still playing turtle shrinkage. Or use the numerical advantage to cover up the holes in West Ham's defence. It's a routine to play Chelsea before.

Chen Ping stood on the sidelines very calmly.

The great man has a very vivid description of war. Strategically to despise the enemy, but tactically to value the enemy. To explain in the simplest words, the first half of the sentence is to tell everyone to be confident and not to be afraid of opponents. No matter what opponent you face, you must have the courage to show your sword. And the second half of the sentence is to tell everyone that no matter what opponent is, you must take it seriously and not be sloppy.

Football matches are no exception.

No matter if you face any opponent, even if that opponent is the top club in European football, even if that opponent has the best players in the world and the best coach, you must not be afraid and have confidence in yourself. But self-confidence is self-confidence, and when you compete, you need to give it your all. It doesn't matter if the opponent is strong or weak.

Chen Ping kept this sentence in mind.

said in a high-profile manner that he wanted to get a place in the Champions League, and Chen Ping was also very confident in this. But for the opponent he has to face, Chen Ping attaches great importance to it. Just like Newcastle, Chen Ping attaches great importance to them and does not dare to underestimate them at all.

Needless to say, Kluivert and Shearer in the front, Jenas, Dier, Bellamy, Bart, Parker, Milner, Lee Bowyer, and Lauren Robert in the midfield are all famous players who have been famous in the Premier League for many years.

In the face of the impact of speed players such as Dyer and Bellamy, the holes on the wing of West Ham will be infinitely magnified. Therefore, before forming a tacit understanding between West Ham's two full-backs and central defenders and midfielders, and making up for the loopholes on the side, Chen Ping is going to use the numerical advantage to make up for the holes in the defense.

The more high-profile he was outside, the calmer Chen Ping became.

Newcastle is not bad, but it is not very strong. As long as West Ham defend solidly, the 34-year-old Shearer and the in-form Kluivert will not find many opportunities in the penalty area.

All the people who followed this game secretly scolded Chen Ping, Chen Ping, this kid is really a waste of other people's feelings.

Before the game, it was blowing loudly, as if how to drown the opponent with an attack, but this was the case during the game. Newcastle fans throughout St James' Park also booed Chen Ping. The entire St James' Park stadium was filled with boos.

But Chen Ping didn't care at all.

What about boos?

Anyway, the team gets booed by the fans when they get away from home, which is a very common thing. Newcastle's boos did not have much effect on Chen Ping, but put a lot of pressure on Souness.

Chen Ping has no face and no skin, Souness can't do this. Chen Ping is a young coach who has just debuted, he doesn't care about fighting with others at all, and he doesn't care about other people's opinions, as long as he wins, as long as he can get points, Chen Ping can be completely shameless. But Souness, who is 61 years old this year, still cares a lot about his face.

Who is Souness?

Known as the "violin-playing beast" when he was a player, he was a midfielder during the Liverpool dynasty and served as the captain of Liverpool at that time. I've been a coach for almost 30 years.

At least such a person can't be so shameless as Chen Ping.

Although Newcastle is not a top team like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, it is also a well-known team in the Premier League, and it is still very good to look at on paper. Coupled with the fact that this is his home turf, Souness can't do something as dirty as shrinking at home.

Now West Ham is not coming out, grabbing the ball in midfield, so Souness can only ask Newcastle to slowly increase their attack.

Seeing Newcastle attacking, Chen Ping was happy. The face is worth a few dollars, and the coach who can succeed is not a reputation and a slander. Not to mention the older generation of coaches, but even more so with future world football legends Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, who have been accompanied by applause and boos, praise and doubts throughout their coaching careers. How can a coach without controversy become a famous coach.

Chen Ping has a deep understanding of his team. Defence is a big problem, but in terms of attack and counter-attack, only Arsenal can compare with West Ham in the Premier League. Newcastle came out just in time for West Ham to play on the counter-attack.

Thirty-seven minutes into the first half, Newcastle really couldn't stand West Ham's negative appearance at this time. So it can only be attacked. West Ham took advantage of that opportunity.

Counterattack.

Ribery on the left was bracing past Stephen Taylor's defence and setting up Arshavin's opener.

There is nothing Newcastle can do at this point.

Can only attack.

There's a good saying. Modern football has developed for so many years, and each era has its own popular style of play. But there is only one way to play, and that is to defend and counterattack.

Because defensive counterattack is the most suitable method for weak teams to play strong teams, teams with poor defense are the most suitable options. Newcastle's attack was rather secretive before. Souness didn't want to defend conservatively, but he didn't want to attack too hard and leave room for West Ham. But after falling behind by one goal, Newcastle had no choice but to attack.

As a result, Newcastle has more loopholes.

Sixty-four minutes, nineteen minutes into the second half, West Ham again used a counter-attack and Defoe made it 2-0. In the end, West Ham won 2-0 away at Newcastle thanks to goals from Arshavin and Defoe.
