With Chen Ping's return to West Ham, the team's transfer pace is very fast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is almost every day there is transfer news.

On 5 July 2004, West Ham announced that they had repurchased Defoe from Chelsea for £5.2 million. Some people think West Ham are doing good business, but there are also a lot of West Ham fans who are against the transfer.

And many people are skeptical, doubting whether Defoe can return to his original state.

But Chen Ping was very happy.

A player like Defoe is worth it for five million pounds. Let him perform well for a season or two, and then sell for another twenty million pounds. Anyway, the transfer fee for players is now rising. Defoe is also a homegrown player in England, and England's account alone is worth £10 million.

On 7 July 2004, West Ham announced another transfer. David James has moved to Manchester City for £2.5 million, with strings attached. Once certain conditions are met, David James' transfer fee will reach £3 million.

According to David James's qualifications and strength, two million pounds is not very expensive, after all, David James is still an England international. However, because David James is very old, it is good to be able to get this transfer fee.

On 8 July 2004, the day after the news of David James' transfer was announced, West Ham immediately announced another transfer. West Ham have brought in their veteran goalkeeper Donny van der Sar from Fulham for £3 million.

One in and one out, many people can't understand it.

Is Van der Sar better than David James?

Nobody thinks so.

Edwin?

A player who has declined, or is past his prime. If it weren't for that, how could he have been in Fulham for three years without a strong team inviting him.

And Van der Sar is already thirty-three years old, and in four or five months he will be thirty-four. It's completely at the end of his career, and it's better to buy a goalkeeper like this than to keep David James.

What the hell is Chen Ping doing? What is West Ham doing?

Many people can't understand it, and many football commentators have begun to criticize Chen Ping's transfer.

But Chen Ping didn't care at all. Continuing the transfer of West Ham. On July 9, 2004, West Ham's official website announced that West Ham had brought in Brazilian player Pepe for £1.1 million.

And Pepe is the first player in English football to pass a "special talent clause" since it was announced.

Less than twelve hours after Pepe's transfer was announced, West Ham announced another transfer. West Ham have brought in 19-year-old Ashley Young from Watford for £2.6 million.

West Ham's transfer is not over, though.

Also on the same day, West Ham announced another transfer. West Ham have signed a two-year contract with free transfer player, 32-year-old Hasselbaink. The famous player who has played in the Premier League and La Liga came to West Ham at the end of his career.

On 10 July 2004, West Ham announced another transfer. West Ham have brought in Martin Antony from Oxford United for £4.3 million. It was also the ninth transfer for West Ham this summer.

After the introduction of Martin Anthony, Chen Ping announced that the transfer of West Ham was over, and West Ham wanted to close the transfer market. Now there are a few players left for West Ham. Thirty-five-year-old Rufus Brewitt has ended his contract with West Ham and left West Ham on a free transfer.

So far, West Ham have brought in nine new players. Van der Sar, Pepe, Martin Antony, Zim Bonda, Mascherano, Benayoun, Ashley Young, Defoe, Hasselbaink.

On July 15, 2004, the team regrouped.

In fact, West Ham also had players who played in the summer European Championships, but except for Van der Sar, everyone else was a substitute. Therefore, this time there is no need for too much rest.

Only Mascherano was unable to come to the team because of the Copa America and the Olympics.

The rest of the players have already been assembled.

"Chen, do you really want Martin Anthony to play at left-back?"

"Yes. ”

Chen Ping pointed at Martin Anthony and said, "Look at Martin's data. This physical strength, this explosiveness and speed, is more than enough to play left-back. ”

"That's the way it is, but, Chen. ”

Julian Dix shook his head and said, "Chen, take a look. Martin couldn't find the right position, he didn't know how to play at the back. With Martin's physicality, speed and crossing, he is definitely a very good England wing-back. At wing-back, he only needs to play on the wing, and the problem of positional sense is not very serious. But if you play full-back, he is certainly not afraid of opponents one-on-one. But his sense of position is too poor, and it is easy to be penetrated. ”

"I know. ”

Chen Ping nodded.

Martin Anthony's awareness is so poor that he can't find a place at full-back. Originally, Chen Ping never wanted Martin Anthony to play full-back, Chen Ping has always cultivated Martin Anthony to become an excellent full-back.

But now West Ham's style of play is slowly changing. With the addition of technical players such as Ribery, Arshavin and Benayoun, Chen Ping also began to try to transform West Ham's style of play. It's no longer England's traditional 4-4-2 style of play.

So Chen Ping's thinking began to change.

Baines.

It's a good full-back, but it's just good. By the time he is twenty-four or five, Baines will surely be one of the best left-backs in the Premier League.

But not now.

Baines' footwork, passing ability, and defensive ability are not bad. But Baines was born with a shortcoming, that is, Baines is only 1.7 meters tall and his physical condition is not excellent.

As a full-back, the explosiveness and speed can only be described as good.

Now Baines is young and easy to be beaten by the Premier League's full-backs. It's not that Chen Ping can't improve Baines's physical confrontation ability, it's not that he can't improve Baines's explosiveness and speed. But these are too many of Chen Ping's potential points and strength points. With the potential and strength points in Chen Ping's hands now, it is impossible to transform successfully at all.

And the position of Baines in the new season can easily become a weakness.

So Chen Ping decided to transform Martin Anthony instead.

Martin Antony is a very good nature, and if you improve his awareness and teamwork, then Martin Antony can be a great full-back. What's more, Martin Antony's physical condition is not to worry about being blown up by a Premier League full-back.

Lack of positional awareness?

You can make up for the back of the back.

"It's just that he doesn't know how to defend positions. As long as he is familiar with the position of full-back, I am sure he will soon know how to position and how to play as a full-back. ”

"Perhaps. ”

Julian Dix was more skeptical.

Because as things stand, Martin Anthony's disposition is very serious. The only thing that makes Julian Dix look good is that Martin Anthony is really physical.

There is also explosiveness, speed, and agility, which are far beyond the average player. Julian Dicks can even pat his chest and assure that those full-backs in the current Premier League, if it is a one-on-one estimate, no one will be able to blow up Julian Dix.

But defensive awareness?

Hey.

Julian Dix can only think on the bright side.

Chen Ping smiled.

Chen Ping has nine potential points in his hands, and Chen Ping dares to use them. Five points were directly used in Martin Anthony's consciousness, so that Martin Anthony's consciousness potential became 8.

Take out two more points and use them in Martin Anthony's teamwork, so that Martin Anthony's teamwork becomes 6.

Of course, this is only potential.

If Martin Antony is to develop that potential, it won't be a problem to be a good full-back.

The remaining two potential points, Chen Ping also did not reserve at all.

Both potential points were used on Carrick's body, turning Carrick's skill from 6 to 8. Chen Ping doesn't need Carrick's technique and Ronaldinho to be as good and gorgeous. But Chen Ping needs Carrick to have the ability to get rid of it.

Chen Ping is actually the only one who worries the most.

That is, there is a team that has a plan to encircle and suppress Carrick. Carrick's technique, while not crude, is not very good, especially with average ability to get rid of. It's more about running and answering to control the pace of the game.

But Chen Ping prefers that Carrick has the ability to protect the ball and the ability to get rid of defenders.

Chen Ping doesn't like to share potential points, so he uses them directly on a certain player. Let the strength of a certain position increase greatly. Chen Ping was confident in West Ham's attack, but lacked confidence in the defence, so he smashed directly on Martin Anthony and Carrick.

'Julian, this period of time has allowed Martin to quickly familiarise himself with the full-back position. ”

"I'll do my best. ”
