'I'm going to prove West Ham with my attack. ”

On October 17, 2004, after a half-month break, the 9th round of the English Premier League began. It's a battle between promoted horses, between West Ham and Norwich, who have been promoted this season. However, the current situation of the two teams is completely different.

West Ham have been promoted to the skies with surprisingly good results. West Ham are currently just one point behind in-form Arsenal and sit second in the Premier League. Chen Ping even shouted out West Ham's bold statement that they would finish in the top four.

Not only in the Premier League, West Ham have already passed the UEFA Cup play-offs and entered the main stage of the UEFA Cup.

And what about Norwich?

Eight rounds of league games are over, with five draws and three defeats, and the first eight rounds have not tasted a single victory, and they are currently in the Premier League relegation zone.

The reason is simple.

Norwich had been in the lower leagues for 9 years before being promoted, and it can be said that they have no money and no people, and they are typical small clubs in England. After promotion this season, Norwich City has no money to replenish the squad, so they can only make up for it and borrow two players from strong teams. Football is actually a sport of money. Especially after entering the 21st century, the role of money is increasing.

Norwich can't bring in great players if they don't have money. Without outstanding players, it is difficult to move forward in the Premier League just by virtue of the strength of the Championship. So Norwich's goal this season is simple, which is relegation. So Norwich doesn't care about anything else, he just defends and counter-attacks. And because their players are not strong, their defense mainly relies on people, which is the so-called intensive defense.

Chen Ping and Norwich have played each other. In League One, it was easy to destroy Norwich.

And the training in this half month has worked very well.

Therefore, before the game, Chen Ping said that he would let Norwich feel the offensive strength of West Ham, and did not give Norwich any face. However, Chen Ping's sentence was satirized by many media, in a word, you kid is very bad, you are a big liar, who believes who is stupid.

Souness lost to West Ham because he believed your lies.

"Martin, do you see the other party's number ten?"

"Yes. ”

"Your mission in this game is to keep an eye on him and don't let him break through your area. ”

Chen Pingcai didn't care what the outside thought of his words.

Now Chen Ping is making the final deployment of the game. Chen Ping pointed to Norwich's number 10 and gave it to Martin Anthony. In fact, Norwich's No. 10 knows Chen Ping, Martin Anthony, and Lambert.

That is Chen Ping's talented player Bentley on loan from Arsenal when he was at Oxford United.

Bentley, who left Oxford United to return to Arsenal, did not become a regular player for Arsenal. After all, on the right side, Arsenal have fierce players like Ljungberg and Wiltord, and Bentley can't compete with them. So there is no place at Arsenal and can only be loaned to other teams. Bentley has spent the season on loan at Norwich.

Bentley has no place at Arsenal because he can't compete with Ljungberg and Wiltord. But he is indeed a genius and very powerful. For a small club like Norwich, Norwich is a baby. That's why Norwich gave the No. 10 jersey, which symbolizes the core, to Bentley.

Like Chen Ping holding Bentley at Oxford United, Bentley is also a baby at Norwich.

Norwich want to fight back at the moment, relying on Bentley. Including the frontcourt offense, it is heavily tilted to Bentley's side. Norwich City didn't have many attacking chances in the game, and most of the chances were created by Bentley. Norwich need Bentley's technique, speed, passing.

That's why Chen Ping put Martin Anthony in charge of Bentley.

"Yes. ”

'Norwich play five in midfield and have a numerical advantage in midfield. Michael, don't get entangled with them in midfield, get the ball on both flanks as soon as possible. Of course, if the opponent's midfielder strengthens the defense on both flanks, and the middle defense has a hole, you can also choose to advance in the middle. You have to take care of this yourself. ”

"Yes. ”

For Carrick Chen Ping is very relieved.

Because Carrick is a player who plays with his brain. Among the English players, Chen Ping's most admired players who play with their brains are Carrick and Frank Lampard. Both are players with very high ball quotients.

Know how to observe the situation on the field and know how to move.

'Franke [Ribery], Jossi [Benayoun], the two of you are on the wing, if you have the opportunity to cross, you will cross resolutely. If you don't have a chance to cross, you will resolutely break into the box. Norwich will definitely have to defend and create free-kicks if they don't have a chance. ”

"Yes. ”

There was no pre-game mobilization.

Because there's no need. If you have to mobilize before the game against Norwich, then it will be too much of a fuss. For Norwich, Chen Ping has made all the preparations that need to be done. Arshavin had just returned from the national team in this game, so Chen Ping let Arshavin rest in this game. chose the 4-4-2 style of play that Chen Ping is most familiar with, and chose Lambert and Defoe for the striker.

Liu Yu walked out with the players, with Chen Ping and Julian Dix behind.

"Good news, Chen. ”

"How?"

'We just received the news that Manchester United were held to a draw away from Birmingham. ”

In the ninth round, the first game was played at 11.30pm UK time, followed by five games at 2pm and West Ham at 4pm. Now the results of the 2 p.m. game are coming one after another.

"Where's the score?"

"Zero to zero. ”520

Chen Ping nodded.

With a smile, he said: "Manchester United's 92 generation of players has reached the time of the old and the new. Coach Alex Ferguson bought Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo Jr., they were all about complementing the young players. But it's so easy to replace the old with the new. It's not just this season, next season Manchester United will need to adjust, and the results won't be too good. It is estimated that it will be turbulent for a while. ”

"There's even better news. ”

"Say it quickly. ”

'Chelsea lost. Chelsea lost 1-0 away to Manchester City, Manchester City actually won against Chelsea, and Mourinho was furious. Chen, even if we lose this game, we are still four points ahead of Chelsea and secure our place in second place. ”

Julian Dix was delighted.

Some schadenfreude.

Julian Dix is a West Ham legend who has spent most of his career at West Ham. West Ham and Chelsea, while not bitter enemies, are not on good terms. And since Roman Abramovich took over Chelsea, Chelsea have become more and more arrogant. And the current Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is a character coach, and he has only been in English football for a few months, and he has already offended many people in English football. So Julian Dix doesn't like Chelsea and Mourinho.

Or should it be said that envy, jealousy, hatred.

After all, we're all Londoners. In London, Arsenal is the absolute first brother, Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham no one can say that they are better than the other, and the history is more glorious. But now that Chelsea is running rampant in the Premier League with Roman Abramovich's financial resources, Julian Dix is of course envious and jealous.

Julian Dix is very happy to see Chelsea lose now. Not to mention that Chelsea lose, the more secure West Ham's position will be. The game was lost, and West Ham were also four points clear of Chelsea. If they win this game, they are seven points ahead of Chelsea, which is a three-game difference.

"It looks like this game has to be won. ”

Chen Ping didn't expect Chelsea to lose either.

It seems that Chelsea have lost one game this season in history. But because of West Ham, Chelsea have not finished the first 10 rounds and have lost two games.

"Julian, bite Arsenal, Arsenal will definitely lose. Then we will have a chance to reach the top. ”

Chen Ping cheered himself up.

The current situation is indeed very good. Chen Ping knows one thing, that is, Arsenal, which was originally known as creating a dynasty, after the 49-game unbeaten streak was broken, they drew many games in succession, and began to lose slowly. Historically, Arsenal have started very well, leading Chelsea by four or five points for a while, but at the end of the season Chelsea were 12 points ahead of Arsenal.

So Chen Ping waited for Arsenal to end their winning streak. As long as Arsenal end their strong streak, then West Ham have a chance behind.

"Let's go and let's continue to bite Arsenal with a win, pull up the points and Chelsea. ”

Good mood.

So when I walked out of the locker room, it was very easy. The game hasn't started yet, but West Ham fans are already cheering the team on. West Ham fans are very happy this season, after all, more than a fifth of the Premier League games have been played, and West Ham are still in the runners-up position of the Premier League.

How could the fans be unhappy.

When West Ham were relegated last season, so many talented players left the team, including many of the club's talents. The mood of the fans is very bad. Even many fans fear that West Ham will fall and that it will take many years to be promoted.

But it's only been a long time.

Chen Ping led West Ham to a strong promotion at the first time, and his performance in the Premier League was also so good. Of course, they, the fans, are happy.

"Whoa—"

"Let's welcome our magician, !!!!!!!! Chen"

"Bang Bang Bang !!!!!!!!"

"Chen!Chen!Chen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

When Chen Ping came out, this was the case. The fans saw Chen Ping slowly walking out of the players' tunnel, and the live broadcast shouted Chen Ping's name as soon as possible, and the fans also cheered loudly to welcome Chen Ping's appearance.

Chen Ping waved his hand, and immediately received even more amazing cheers.

"Since Coach Lyell left West Ham, Coach Chen Ping has been the most popular coach in West Ham. Even Coach Redknapp has never received such cheers at West Ham. ”

Andy Gray's thick, and also iconic Scottish accent sounds.

"Coach Chen Ping's current results are far from being as good as Redknapp's results at West Ham. And it's not as good as Coach Redknapp's contribution to West Ham. But the fans are much harsher on Harry. ”

Andy Gray's old partner Richard Guise has a grappling fight for Redknapp.

West Ham have been in turmoil since West Ham were relegated in 1989 and the players and coaches resigned from John Lyell, a meritorious coach who had been at West Ham for more than three decades. It was a famous lift in the early days of the Premier League.

It was the emergence of Redknapp that stabilized West Ham's results and made West Ham a second-rate team in the Premier League. It can be said that Redknapp's contribution is very large. Not to mention that Redknapp himself was born in the West Ham academy and is a West Ham legend, but Redknapp has suffered a lot of criticism in West Ham, and West Ham fans are very critical of Redknapp.

"It's Chen Ping, a young coach, who has the kind of ruffian that West Ham fans like. In the eyes of West Ham fans, Coach Chen Ping and they are all the way. ”

"Hehe, yes, there is the same ruffian. ”

The two of them talked a few digressions. However, both men are the most well-known commentators in English football and quickly got into the groove.

"In the ninth round of the Premier League, West Ham's home game against Norwich City is about to begin. It was a match between two promoted horses. In previous matchups, especially in League One last season, West Ham easily beat Norwich. This is their first matchup in the Premier League, so let's take a look at who wins and who loses. ”
