Entering April, the UEFA Cup knockout rounds and the league are mixed up, so the competition starts to increase again. But fortunately, the FA Cup was abandoned very decisively, otherwise the current West Ham would definitely not be able to bear it.

Just the League Cup and the league, there are already too many games to give West Ham a big headache.

After the 31st round of the Premier League, the first game of the quarter-finals of the UFA Cup will be played on April 8, the 32nd round of the Premier League will be played on April 10, and the second game of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup will be played on April 15. Because of the UEFA Cup knockout round, the 33rd round of the Premier League, which was supposed to start on April 16, will be postponed to April 27.

April 21 is the 34th round of the Premier League, April 23 is the 35th round of the Premier League, and April 29 is the first match of the League Cup semi-finals. If there is an FA Cup, then West Ham will certainly not be able to handle it.

But even without the FA Cup, West Ham have plenty of games.

In order to win both the League Cup and the league championship, Chen Ping and the coaching staff made a very meticulous plan. On April 8, in the first match of the quarter-knockout round of the League Cup, West Ham hosted Auxerre.

Although there was a Premier League match two days later, this time Chen Ping chose the League Cup match.

During the game, Chen Ping sent the main force to face the game, and did not have reservations because of the Premier League game two days later. Just look at Auxerre to see how poor the team is in the UEFA Cup. AJ Auxerre, a Ligue 1 team, has not performed well in Ligue 1 this season.

AJ Auxerre currently sit in eighth place in Ligue 1.

Such teams are all League Cup quarterfinals, and you can imagine the gold content of the League Cup. However, for Chen Ping, he likes the current situation in the League Cup. Because in terms of the current League Cup, there are no strong teams.

The stronger ones are CSKA Moscow, which everyone is not familiar with, as well as Sporting Lisbon from Portugal and Newcastle United, who play the UEFA Cup with West Ham. These teams are the strongest teams in the current League Cup, but their strength is also a second-rate team in Europe.

Chen Ping likes to bully the small with the big and the weak with the strong.

In the face of Auxerre, West Ham attacked in a big army and did not give Auxerre any chance.

After reaching the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup, West Ham's performance has been getting better and better. Of course, the main reason is that West Ham have begun to focus on the UEFA Cup competition. In the 0405 season in history, Auxerre was beaten 0-4 by CSKA Moscow, and now it is completely defeated when it encounters West Ham United, which is more ferocious than CSKA Moscow.

West Ham won comfortably 5-0 against AJ Auxerre.

Lambert scored twice to continue his goalscoring journey. By this time, Lambert had eight goals in the UEFA Cup and 46 in all competitions. He has become the most watched center forward player in European football at present, and he is also the hottest center forward player.

After the UEFA Cup tie, West Ham had no time to rest.

Because two days later, on April 10, the 33rd round of the Premier League, West Ham challenged Aston Villa away. The UEFA Cup is full of main players, so Premier League games can only be substitutes. It's April, and although West Ham's players have a good physical reserve, they can't be as physical at the end of the season as they were at the beginning of the season. In order to ensure the results and ensure that the players are not injured, Chen Ping must use the players carefully.

However, there is no game yet, and West Ham have received huge good news.

West Ham's biggest league rivals, Chelsea, were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Birmingham. Like West Ham, Chelsea are currently being dragged down by European competition. Chelsea themselves don't think a Premier League title this season is likely, so much of their focus is on the Champions League.

Jose Mourinho knows that the success of his tenure at Chelsea this season will depend on his performance in the Champions League. Chelsea, on the other hand, lived up to expectations, beating the mighty Bayern Munich 4-2 at home in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The energy of people is limited, and the energy of the team is also limited.

Chelsea, although the bench is thick enough, will be difficult at the end of the season. In the Champions League, he continued to play against giants such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich, which seriously affected Chelsea's combat effectiveness.

Chelsea finally stopped their progress and were held to a draw by Birmingham.

This made Chen Ping overjoyed.

The result made the West Ham players very excited and relaxed. It's a pity that I was excited, relaxed, and performed very well. Unfortunately, he ran out of luck and lost 2-1 away to Aston Villa.

The result was a point for Chelsea to catch up, with West Ham's lead over Chelsea narrowed to 10 points.

West Ham's results in the league have not been very good during this period. That's a matter of choice. When West Ham chose to play in the League Cup, the emphasis on the league will definitely drop a little, and the results will of course also decline.

But after this game, many media were not optimistic about Chelsea's overtake. As the end of the season draws closer, West Ham's lead is still huge. West Ham and Chelsea both have six games left in the Premier League, with West Ham still 10 points ahead. Ranwen

On April 15, in the second match of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, West Ham took on AJ Auxerre. In this away game, Chen Ping chose to mix and match the main substitutes. Let some of the main players rest at home.

The more this time comes, the more it will be a test of the strength of the substitutes.

Hasselbaink was outstanding, passing and shooting. However, although Ausell knew they were going to be eliminated, they still worked very their home turf. The result was a 2-2 draw at home to AJ Arm. West Ham eliminated AJJ Auxerre 8-2 on aggregate to reach the last four of the UEFA Cup.

West Ham's trip to the UEFA Cup has been nothing short of flat.

The group stage was almost played with substitutes, and it appeared smoothly. When it came to the knockout round, the main lineup was used, and almost all of those opponents were swept away. I didn't have any difficult opponents at all. All the way is almost a crushing situation.

The 33rd round of the Premier League was postponed to April 27 due to conflicts with the Champions League and the League Cup.

On April 21, in the 34th round of the Premier League, West Ham challenged Tottenham Hotspur away. The other stadium is Chelsea's home game against Arsenal, with both sides kicking off at the same time. West Ham and Chelsea are working very hard.

West Ham are looking to maintain their edge in the Premier League, while Chelsea are looking to close the gap on points.

It's a pity that both teams are tired.

The Champions League and the UEFA Cup involve a lot of energy from both teams. That's true for West Ham and it's true for Chelsea. Chelsea lost 3-2 away to Bayern Munich in the recently concluded Champions League fixture. However, they eliminated Bayern Munich with an aggregate score of 6-5 and entered the semifinals of the Champions League.

By this time, Mourinho's position was very solid.

After all, Chelsea played in the Champions League, knocking out Barcelona and Bayern in succession. Ranieri also led Chelsea to the last four of the Champions League last season, but not as memorably as this season. While Chelsea were excited, the team was tired.

As a result, West Ham and Chelsea both stumbled.

West Ham drew 2-2 at Tottenham, while Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Arsenal. West Ham and Chelsea are both drawn. However, this kind of draw is something that West Ham are very willing to do, but not Chelsea.

Since Chen Ping's decision to win the UEFA Cup, West Ham have seen more and more draws and losses. Unfortunately, Chelsea's results are not very good, and due to the influence of the Champions League, Chelsea's draws have also begun to increase.

However, after this game, there was still a lot of commentary in the media.

Because in this game, Lambert scored a league goal again. He has scored 47 in all competitions for West Ham and 35 in the Premier League this season, setting a new Premier League record.

Since the inception of the Premier League, the Premier League's top scorers have been held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer, who share the scoring record and have both been Premier League top scorers with 34 goals. Lambert, on the other hand, has scored 35 goals this season, making him the Premier League's top scorer since its inception.

On April 23, in the 35th round of the Premier League, West Ham challenged Middlesbrough away.

Chen Ping's birth was stepped on by many coaches. Not to mention Mourinho, who was overwhelmed by Chen Ping this season, as well as Moyes, who should have won the Champions League, and Middlesbrough's manager McLaren.

McLaren became famous early.

But he made a name for himself primarily as an assistant coach at Alex Ferguson. After taking charge independently, the real rise to fame was leading Middlesbrough to a strong performance in the League Cup, which received a lot of attention in English football. He eventually became the head coach of the England national team. And Middlesbrough first started to make their appearance in the League Cup, relying on the League Cup title. However, last season's League Cup championship was taken away by West Ham, and West Ham's performance in the league this season is so good, which directly blocked Middlesbrough's development in the League Cup. McClaren coached independently, but the results were not great.

It can be said that Chen Ping's birth turned out of nowhere, and I don't know how many coaches who should have become famous have been hit.

The competition is too intensive, two Premier League games in three days.

However, the league is so dense, West Ham are tired, and Middlesbrough is also tired. At this time, the difference in the thickness of the bench between the two sides is reflected. West Ham relied on Benayoun's goal to beat Middlesbrough 1-0 with the depth of the bench.

On the other pitch, Chelsea won comfortably 3-1 against Fulham.

West Ham and Chelsea are still very far apart.

The time came on April 27, 2005, and the 33rd round of the Premier League was played. The eyes of the entire English football world are on Upton Park, and even the whole of European football, and even far away China, their eyes are on Upton Park.
