"Chen, Anthony has a good understanding. ”

Half a month, West Ham is very cherished.

The ninth round of the Premier League will not start until October 17. This period is an important adjustment period for West Ham, so the West Ham coaching staff cherished this training time. And for now, the picture is very optimistic. Martin Anthony, in particular, is getting better and better.

Originally, Martin Antony was in the full-back position, and his one-on-one performance was okay. But in terms of overall defense, he always acts like an outsider. It can't work with central defenders and midfielders to become a complete defensive system.

Modern football is increasingly emphasizing the whole.

Whether offensively or defensively, modern football emphasizes the form of government. More than a decade later, many people lament that football is increasingly lacking masters and artistic players. But this is the inevitable development of football. Compared to the eighties and nineties, football is becoming more and more holistic now. There are fewer and fewer things like before where you can decide a game by one person. Because in front of the overall defense, players like Maradona are no longer allowed.

Or in other words, a football king like Maradona cannot have the power of the past when he comes to modern football, and he must adapt to modern football as a whole. Because the overall defense of modern football, in terms of the use of space, the rigor of defense, far exceeds that of football in the eighties and nineties. Defending in modern football is no longer just about defending players. It's the whole team, from the strikers to the midfielders all the way to the backline.

Martin Anthony is definitely a top-tier defensive player if he is just a one-on-one defense, relying on strong physical fitness, as well as speed and explosiveness. The ones who can break Martin Anthony one-on-one are the top players in football today. However, Martin Antony has become a weakness in West Ham's defensive line because of problems with central defenders, wing-backs and midfielders.

But after a few days of training, Martin Anthony's performance in this area quickly improved.

This took Julian Dix by surprise. Martin Antony switched to left-back and has been playing for two months now. But the progress of two months has not been as obvious as in the past few days. But it's also very happy.

"Some people are like that. ”

Chen Ping nodded.

Said: "Once you open your mind, your strength will quickly become stronger. If you look at Zinedine Zidane, he is a strong player and he has been very good at Juventus. But there has always been a lack of opportunity. At the World Cup in France, Zidane performed well in the final and broke through all barriers at once. He went from being a first-class world-class player to becoming a world-class superstar and making his own history. It's not just the players, it's our coaches. Like Coach Cooper, who reached the Champions League final twice when he was in Valencia, it can be said that he has achieved remarkable results and has a huge momentum. But he just didn't win the Champions League, so he was always a breath away and couldn't become the top coach. If he had won the Champions League in Valencia, he would have been in a completely different position. His coaching career will also reach new heights. ”

This is not nonsense.

That's the reality. Two people with similar strength can easily have a fork in their fate because of one thing. Don't talk about Cooper, let's talk about last season's Champions League final. Porto became Champions League champions and Jose Mourinho soared. Another young coach, Monaco's head coach Didier Deschamps, has taken a completely different path.

Actually, think about it from another angle.

If the Champions League final had been Monaco's victory, Deschamps would have won the Champions League. Then maybe Deschamps' coaching path is another achievement. An important championship will have a huge boost to both the coach and the players.

'Antony has never played at full-back, so he hasn't been able to adapt quickly. But as he settled into the position, the talent was revealed. Now what is it, I can guarantee that within two years he will be the best left-back in the world. ”

"Chen, you are always confident. ”

Julian Dix smiled.

After working with Chen Ping for more than a year, Chen Ping has always been very confident. Martin Anthony is only emerging at the moment and has a lot of problems defensively. But Chen Ping said Martin Antony could be the best left-back in the world.

However, now Martin Antony is getting better and better, and Mascherano is starting to integrate into the team's defensive system, both of which have taken West Ham's defense up several notches. This has a lot of benefits for the rest of the game.

"Head—"

Just as Chen Ping and Julian Dix were discussing the current West Ham defense and discussing Martin Anthony, someone called Chen Ping's name. Chen Ping turned his head and saw a simple face. Chen Ping smiled and beckoned, "Didn't I give you two days off?"

"Head, I'm fine, I don't need a break. ”

It was Lambert who came.

Chen Ping allowed players who were playing for the national team to come over and report after a two-day break. Anyway, West Ham are just a newly promoted team, and although they have performed well in the Premier League, there are still very few players who play in the national team this time. There are only four players participating in the national team competition, Van der Sar, Carrick, Lambert, and Arshavin. Therefore, this national team match has little impact on West Ham. It's okay to rest them for the next game.

I didn't expect the England national team match to end yesterday, and today Lambert came to report.

"I forgot to congratulate you. ”

Chen Ping stood up and patted Lambert on the shoulder.

Lambert smiled smirked, then scratched his head. Among Chen Ping's disciples, Chen Ping's favorite is Lambert. Because of Lambert's admiration for Chen Ping, Chen Ping's vanity was very satisfied.

In comparison, several people that Chen Ping valued, such as Carrick and Martin Anthony, were too calm. Although such a player is very good and has the style of a general. But Chen Ping couldn't feel that sense of accomplishment. Let's read the book

Only Lambert gave Chen Ping the most sense of achievement. Lambert played 45 minutes in the second half and scored a goal in a friendly match that ended yesterday. It was Lambert's first international goal.

"The head, it's just a ball. ”

"Congratulations too. Don't go to training today, I'll give you some simple recovery exercises. ”

"Yes. ”

Lambert really admires Chen Ping.

When his football career was at a low point, Chen Ping saved him. And keep telling him that he will be the best player and become an England international. Although he didn't believe it at the time, this trust and support gave Lambert a lot of confidence. Now that he has really become an international player, Lambert's admiration for Chen Ping has reached a higher level.

Seeing Lambert leave, Chen Ping's face immediately became solemn.

Because before Lambert went to play for the national team, his potential was 197 and his strength was 181. In terms of strength, Lambert is already at the top of the Premier League forwards, and Lambert's characteristics are too obvious and his physical fitness is too good, so it is very easy to use. Lambert has entered the ranks of the best centre-forwards in the Premier League.

Unexpectedly, after going to the national team for about a week, Lambert's strength became 186 when he came back, which made Chen Ping of course very surprised. After all, in less than ten days, the strength has increased by 5, and it is impossible not to let Chen Ping pay attention. Without Chen Ping's system, Chen Ping really didn't understand why Lambert's strength had suddenly risen so much. The strength data of 186 is already to the point where he can be the main center forward in a wealthy club. At present, Lambert's strength has surpassed that of Didier Drogba, who is currently at Chelsea.

It completely exceeded Duan Xun's expectations. Duan Xun originally expected that by the end of the season, Lambert's strength would reach about 186. I didn't expect Lambert's strength to become 186 so quickly.

Therefore, Chen Ping looked at Lambert's data carefully.

Lambert is Chen Ping's favorite general, and he is also a super center created by Chen Ping. So Chen Ping is very familiar with his data. If you look closely, Lambert has seen changes in the data in several places.

Lambert's shot became a 7, the off-ball run became 8, the header became 9, the determination became 8, and the bravery became 8.

Each went up a little.

What happened to make Lambert's data suddenly rise so much. Such data is already the data of the top strikers in the Premier League.

"Chen, Ricky went to the national team, and I think I'm more confident than before. ”

"Oh?"

Julian Dix's words made Chen Ping understand in an instant.

Right.

It was Lambert's first time with the national team, and he scored a goal in his first appearance. Lamber is especially good at looking at the five big and three thick, and he is very strong in impact on the field. But the personality is not very strong people.

Although after all these years of non-stop goalkeeping, Lambert's character has also hardened a lot. But in many ways, it's really not as good as Martin Anthony. This time he entered the national team and scored a goal, which was a huge encouragement for Lambert.

Let Lambert's self-confidence soar.

Self-confidence is a very important thing for a player. Lambert's self-confidence has risen, and even the stats of determination and bravery have risen, which has also improved his shooting and headers. Chen Ping was a little amused, he had just told Julian Dix about how important those championships were to coaches and players.

But forget that for Lambert to join the national team and score a goal, it is the biggest encouragement.

"yes. ”

Chen Ping thought of a lot in an instant, but he didn't show it at all, but nodded and said: "Now England lacks excellent center players, and Husky can't compare with Ricky at all." Now there are only Wayne Rooney and Owen in the England front line, and there are many changes missing. If I were Eriksen, I would have let Ricky play as the main centre-forward. ”

As he spoke, Chen Ping suddenly became full of pride.

With Mascherano integrated into the team, Martin Antony was much better in combination and West Ham's defence became more solid. Now seeing Lambert's strength soaring, Chen Ping's ambition is getting bigger and bigger.

It really is.

Chen Ping's goal at the start of the season is for West Ham to finish in the top four of the Premier League and secure a Champions League place next season. But now looking at the chaos of the British Super League, Chen Ping's goal is getting higher and higher.

With the system in hand, can't there be more ambitions?

Can't you dream of a championship?
