65 Defoe

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"Defoe, Defoe, Defoe!"

'Ranieri made the wrong choice, the problems at the back are too big. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoCompared to West Ham's-for-tat three-striker formation, the Chelsea backline has no way to do it. In the face of the onslaught of the three forwards, the three defenders were obviously unable to defend. ”

'It's 2-0, West Ham are already 2-0 ahead of Chelsea thanks to Defoe's goal. West Ham have been doing really well, they have already eliminated Tottenham in the third round of the Carabao Cup, and if they eliminate Chelsea in this round, West Ham will reach the last eight of the Carabao Cup. There were many upsets in the fourth round of the League Cup, Manchester United and Liverpool have been eliminated, and only Arsenal is left in the quarterfinals. With West Ham's performance, who's to say West Ham can't win the League Cup. ”

'Young talents, West Ham really have a bunch of young talents. Compared to Joe Cole, who joined Chelsea, Carrick won the game completely. Carrick used his excellent tackles and precise passes to break through the Chelsea defence twice. There is also Defoe, who completed a hat-trick in the last League Cup game, and this game is another shot and a pass. ”

"Even Alex Ferguson is rumored to have a crush on Defoe, and I don't think that's groundless. Defoe is only twenty-one years old, but he has been so good this season. Twenty-four goals have been scored in League One and five more in the Carabao Cup. Half a season has not ended, and Defoe has already scored almost 30 goals. After so many years of English football, it is rare to have such an efficient striker. ”

Mortenson was a flattering man for Defoe.

It's outstanding.

West Ham's style of play this season has been perfect for Defoe. When the game is dominant, Lambert will use his movement, especially his impact, to squash the opposition defensive line as a way to give Defoe more space to move. Lambbert's goal was sacrificed to make Defoe's goal efficient.

When counterattacking the same time, it is to use Carrick's long pass, as well as Defoe's explosiveness and speed, to complete the counterattack attack.

In this system, Defoe is like a fish in water, and Defoe's characteristics are vividly expressed. is a super-talented man like Franck Ribery, and the future superstar is not as dazzling as Defoe in the team.

Defoe himself was very excited about the goal.

"Defoe, Defoe, Defoe!"

West Ham fans are holding grudges, but Defoe's performance in this half season has been too good. As a result, many West Ham fans began to cheer for Defoe. Of course, this is also because Defoe publicly stated that he will be promoted with the team, which can be regarded as appeasing many West Ham fans.

Looking at the celebrating West Ham fans, Ranieri was furious.

Damn Joe Cole.

Mess up your tactics completely. What he wants is the suppression of the six-midfield, not Joe Cole's performance alone. Ranieri really wanted to replace Joe Cole directly, but now the first half is not over. Changing players in the first half is not an easy decision.

But he couldn't look like that, so he kept gesturing on the sidelines to express his displeasure.

"Pass, pass, cooperate, cooperate. ”

Angry.

Ranieri's dissatisfaction, Joe Cole can understand it at a glance on the field. Joe Cole knows Ranieri is unhappy with the two goals he conceded. But Joe Cole didn't care, because no one would understand his own heart.

Disgrace.

Joe Cole has been in the Premier League for many years, not without being dispossessed, and not once or twice. After all, a skilled player like Joe Cole, who dribbles too much, will concede more than the average player.

But today I feel the greatest humiliation.

Carrick.

The relationship between the two is good, but Carrick has been Joe Cole's follower since he was a child. Although Carrick is a few months older than Joe Cole, Joe Cole is the talent that everyone at West Ham praises, and Joe Cole has been the focus of everyone's attention in the past. In West Ham there is Joe Cole, Carrick can only be the second-in-command.

When training inside, Joe Cole has always been a one-on-one against Carrick. Carrick's defensive skills and defensive awareness are good, but his explosiveness and speed are far inferior to Joe Cole.

But what's going on today.

Joe Cole found Carrick to be extremely explosive and physically flexible. Several breakthroughs have not been successful, and this situation has made Joe Cole very unconvinced. The feeling that a player who had grown up with himself suddenly made himself so powerless made Joe Cole angry.

So although Ranieri was angry, Joe Cole did not take it to heart.

The arrogant Joe Cole had only one thought, and today was going to pass Carrick no matter what. Unfortunately, today's game was not destined to belong to Joe Cole, and at the end of the first half, Joe Cole once again chose to break through Carrick individually.

Pity.

Once again, Carrick broke the ball and played a counter-attack.

Fight back quickly.

Originally, the combination of six midfielders, once Joe Cole conceded the goal, with Chelsea's numerical advantage, he could quickly complete the encirclement of Carrick and prevent Carrick from playing a quick counterattack.

But playing for the first time in a back three and six in midfield, the Chelsea players were very unaccustomed to their position. Therefore, it is not possible to complete the restriction on Carrick in the first place.

And that's what Carrick is.

As long as you give him a chance, then he will faithfully complete the task assigned by Chen Ping. Just like this time, Carrick's swift pass made a quick counter-attack.

Hit the back.

Chen Ping's style of play in this game is very simple, not to play West Ham's usual tactics of taking two wings with you. Just hit the ball behind you, it doesn't matter how many times you fail, you can succeed once.

Before the end of the first half, he played again with a successful play.

Defoe made a quick offside break to complete the second goal of the game.

"He's good. ”

Abramovich watched the game from his box at Upton Park, with a blank expression. Although trailing by many goals, Abramovich was not angry, but pointed to Defoe, who was celebrating.

"What do you think of him?"

"It's been a great season. Whether it's in League One or in the League Cup, it's been outstanding. Half a season is not over, having already scored nearly thirty goals for West Ham. At this rate, it's not impossible to score fifty goals this season. Arguably the hottest striker in English football at the moment. He was still young, just after his twenty-first birthday. ”

Pini Zahawi replied with a smile.

Roman Abramovich came to watch the game, and although he was joined by Chelsea staff, he was followed by Pini Zahavi, the Jewish agent who helped Abou buy Chelsea.

Abramovich has just invested in English football and does not have any connections here, so he relies more on agents like Zahavi. Of course, both men were Jews and had known each other through various channels for a long time.

"Yes. ”

Abramovich nodded slightly, and then said directly: "How much?"

"Tottenham offered £7 million in the summer but West Ham turned it down. At that time, West Ham claimed that they could not take Defoe without 10 million. However, the performance of this half season has made Defoe's value rise a lot. Recently, it has been rumoured that the West Ham manager has publicly claimed that Defoe is worth as little as £15 million. However, Defoe is a homegrown player in England and is so young that it is estimated that the sale price will exceed 15 million pounds. ”

"Do you think we need him?"

Fifteen million pounds?

Abramovich didn't care at all. Chelsea's results are decent at the moment, but Abramovich is not very satisfied. After all, he spent hundreds of millions of pounds in the summer, but the team didn't play the game he needed.

Therefore, Abramovich is ready to continue to invest money in the winter and continue to bring in several quality players in the winter.

"Should you ask Coach Ranieri about this? ”

Zahavi is cunning.

Although Chelsea transferred in the summer, Zahavi intervened a lot. But he will never openly bypass the coach, nor will he openly clash with the coach. A super agent like Zahavi is strong, but he knows more about the truth. Zahavi doesn't want any problems with the manager. After all, in English football, the head coach has a lot of power. It's easy for Zahavi to ignore a Ranieri, but Zahavi is afraid of touching the English football coaches community.

Once you get the English coach to think that you are ignoring them, it will be much more difficult for you to do business yourself. So Zahavi immediately changed the subject.

"We bought some strikers in the summer but they didn't do well. ”

Roman Abramovich has complained about his summer transfer.

Chelsea have brought in a lot of good players in the summer, including top stars such as Crespo and young strikers like Mutu who have been in Serie A for the past two years.

However, neither Crespo nor Mutu performed as well as they could have been.

Crespo was a bit uncomfortable, and Mutu was very impressed when he first arrived at Chelsea. But soon lost himself in a London nightclub. Now it looks like it's the old Chelsea striker who has played the best.

"Pinny, you get in touch with him. Some time ago, someone recommended this man to me, saying that he is the best striker of the younger generation in English football. Buy it and use it first. Coach Ranieri will ask Peter to talk to him. ”

Abramovich is a Russian plutocracy, and it is certainly not an idiot to be able to mix up to such a point.

The rejection of himself in English football, Abramovich can clearly feel. The clever Roman Abramovich understands that if Chelsea are to be less ostracized, Chelsea must have enough England internationals inside.

Now Chelsea have the likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Bridge. If there is a new generation of strikers like Defoe, then Chelsea will not have fewer England internationals inside.

As for the price?

Abramovich didn't really care. Buy it first and use it to see the effect. That's what Peter Kenyon told himself. As for Ranieri, it would be fine to put Kenyon in charge.

"Okay, I'll go meet his agent. ”
