"The referee's whistle blows and the game begins. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info We move on to the West Ham starting line-up. The goalkeeper is David James, the backline is Glenn Johnson, Thomas Repka, Christian Daly, and Layton Bynes, the midfield is Frank Ribery, Stephen Lomas, Michael Carrick, and Leo Cork in midfield, and the two players up front are Richard Lambert and Jermaine Defoe. ”

"The biggest feature of this game at West Ham is their youth. With the exception of centre-backs Repka and Daly, and midfielder Lomas, the rest of the players are very young, only in their mid-twenties. Bynes, Glenn Johnson and Leo Cork are all young players under the age of 20. However, for West Ham, such a young squad is not too much of a surprise. Because when West Ham United was in the Premier League, there were a large number of young talents playing in the team. ”

Twenty-two-year-old Carrick wore the captain's armband. Michael Carrick is not only West Ham's own Academy player, but also the first player to say he wants to stay with the team after his relegation last season. ”

The game begins.

Chen Ping stood up again and stood on the sidelines.

Premier league.

The Premier League is Chen Ping's goal, so Chen Ping still attaches great importance to the English League. Although Chen Ping said before the game that he was not Moyes, Moyes had too much advantage over Chen Ping.

Moyes's connections are not comparable to Chen Ping.

As a Scottish coach and a player himself, David Moyes has deep connections in English football. David Moyes was a little better at Preston North End and Ferguson invited him over as his assistant coach. But Moyes rejected Ferguson at the time. A coach like David Moyes can fail in the Premier League, and he is even allowed to fail once or twice.

Even if it fails, it's fine.

Because with his connections, even if he fails once, he has the opportunity to start all over again. But Chen Ping can't, Chen Ping is an outsider to the English football world, and Chen Ping is not allowed to fail. Chen Ping must be cautious every step of the way. If Chen Ping fails at West Ham this time, it is estimated that no League One powerhouse will invite Chen Ping in a few years. It is unlikely that he will be able to coach in the Premier League anytime soon.

So for Chen Ping, he can only move forward and cannot fail.

The first game.

Very important.

'At the start of the game, the Preston players were very positive. The running is aggressive, and the scrambling is also aggressive. Preston North End are looking to get off to a start with home advantage. However, overall, West Ham United's midfielders are still better than Preston North End in quality. ”

Mortensen watched the midfielder scramble and began the commentary of the game.

West Ham are relegated from the Premier League after all. When West Ham performed well in the Premier League, even the Premier League powerhouses did not dare to ignore it, and they were the team that could qualify for the UEFA Cup. Chen Ping, on the other hand, retained the two main players in West Ham's midfield, Carrick and Lomas.

Both are Premier League-caliber midfielders.

Compared with them, although Preston is also a strong team in League One, it is much worse than West Ham United in terms of strength. So Preston North End have aggressive players, but West Ham dominate the midfield.

Carrick's foot skills are average, and his ability to get rid of them is not very good, but Carrick's running and strategy are top-notch.

With Carrick constantly on the move, West Ham were firmly in control of the tempo. However, Preston North End players did not back down because of the problem of possession, but fought more aggressively.

Even Preston players began to press, frantically grabbing the ball.

Daley topped the ball out and Lomas gave it to Carrick. Lambert drops back to pick up Carrick, Carrick, through pass!"

It's a very simple routine.

However, Preston North End were too aggressive, which led to West Ham's style of play being more effective. In fact, Moyes is not only a god in the hearts of Preston fans, even Preston players have great respect for Moyes.

It has only been a year and a half since Moyes left Preston North End and many of their current players are players who have been single-handedly promoted by Moyes. But Chen Ping said Moyes before the game, so they were also angry.

The Preston North End coach didn't have his players so aggressive, but they were very angry and very positive themselves. But if the players are active and don't have tactical constraints, then the problem will be very big. Instead, he messed up his tactics and his defensive system.

This time it was.

The moment Carrick got the ball, Lambert suddenly chose to retreat to respond. The centre-back defending Lambert didn't hesitate to follow him. Originally, 4-4-2 only had two central defenders, unlike three central defenders, one central defender could follow the center forward, and the other two central defenders could be added immediately. However, if the 4-4-2 centre-back follows the centre-forward, then the hole in the middle will be very big.

Therefore, football has developed to the present, and the man-to-man tactics of defenders have basically disappeared, and even the man-to-man tactics of back players are rarely played by teams. Most of the current team plays zone defense, and if it is not their own zone, they will not go out.

Of course, there are some strong teams with players in the back line who have a strong tacit understanding and players who have a lot of strength.

When the time comes, once a centre-back comes out, the midfielder immediately fills in that position. However, although Preston is a strong team in League One, they are only the fifth and sixth teams in League One.

The defense is not as tight and the awareness of the defenders is not as good.

Lambert dropped back abruptly, taking Preston North End with the centre-back, and Preston North End was immediately open in a large gap. Such gaps are either filled by the midfielders or by the full-backs shrinking inside.

But Preston North End is not the right person in the Premier League, and there is a big gap in an instant, and there are no other players to fill that gap. Carrick saw it. So Carrick didn't give the ball to Lambert, who dropped back, but passed the ball directly to the position where Lambert had just been.

This tactic has been practiced many times before the season.

"Defoe, Defoe received the ball. Defoe is very fast, Defoe is in the box!"

Lambert retreated, Carrick made a direct pass, and Defoe instantly came to Lambert's position just now, a simple style of play, but a tactic that has been practiced many times. Defoe is a small and agile striker, explosive and fast, and quickly enters the box.

Preston's defenders simply didn't have time to react.

Even if they reacted quickly, they didn't have time to defend Defoe. Because Defoe was so fast, Preston's centre-backs simply couldn't keep up with them.

"Defoe, Defoe, Defoe pick!"

The defenders didn't have time to react, but it was the Preston goalkeeper who reacted the quickest, quickly abandoning the goal, narrowing the space for Defoe to shoot. Defoe was very calm, seeing the goalkeeper coming out, he looked like he was about to shoot. But when he was shooting, he suddenly made a slight pick, and a very wonderful shot came.

"Defoe, Defoe, Defoe!!!!!!!!!!!"

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

"Defoe, Defoe. Carrick made a beautiful pass, and Defoe shot even more excitingly. It is heard that Tottenham have been working hard this summer to bring in Defoe, but West Ham are determined to keep Defoe. Sure enough, leaving Defoe had an effect. This shot is a complete indication of Defoe's excellent shooting skills. ”

Seventeen minutes, seventeen minutes into the game, West Ham led Preston 1-0 thanks to Defoe's goal. ”

"Shhh

Defoe scored, and Deepdale Stadium was instantly booed. Chen Ping stood on the sidelines and applauded gently, and the results of the pre-game training were completely out. Increase Lambert's movement and bring out the offensive prowess of other players.

Very well done.

Listening to the boos from the crowd at Deepdale Stadium, Chen Ping put his index finger to his mouth and made a gesture to shut up the Preston fans. From the beginning, Chen Ping didn't like Preston. I don't like the media comparing myself to Moyes, and I don't like the Preston assistant coach's big mouth, and I don't like the boos from Preston fans. So when there was a chance, Chen Ping immediately counterattacked. At the beginning, Preston fans were stunned, but when the director kept giving Chen Ping a close-up, Preston fans were immediately furious.

Originally, they had a very bad impression of Chen Ping before the game, but now when they see Chen Ping like this, they hate Chen Ping even more.

"Shhh

In an instant, Deepdale Field was full of boos.

This time it's really an astonishing boo.

But Chen Ping didn't care. Preston is just an episode in his coaching career. With Preston's strength, I don't know what year or month I want to go to the Premier League.

Preston fans, offended if they offend, Chen Ping is not afraid of them.

"Hahaha. Coach Chen Ping was booed by Preston fans at the beginning of the game, and now such a move will definitely become the least favorite coach of Preston fans. ”
