"Mr. President, it's just a League Cup, so why bother to come and see it for yourself. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A box at Carson Field.

West Ham's club hierarchy was also on the scene. West Ham United director Paul Pitt speaks to West Ham chairman Terry Brown. Terry Brown doesn't look good.

However, he still reluctantly smiled and said, "Just take a look." ”

"Actually, the team needs a win now to boost morale. ”

"Victory, victory. ”

Terry Brown sighed, then said, "Paul, tell me why we did so poorly in the summer, even though we spent a lot of money in the summer. Played for two months with only one victory,"

West Ham are in poor shape.

And it's not the average bad. Of course, West Ham are currently bottom of the table, but Terry Brown is not worried about relegation. Because West Ham United's strength is definitely in the middle of the Premier League. But now it's too ugly to play, too many games to lose, and it's very angry for him.

"This ......"

Paul Pitt didn't know how to answer.

Because they finished seventh in the Premier League last season, this season is hoping to go even further. Therefore, although West Ham did not spend much money on the transfer market in the summer, they also added a lot of quality players. Unexpectedly, after the start of the season, the results plummeted. Even Paul Pitt himself doesn't know why.

"Let's watch the game. ”

Terry Brown shook his head.

In fact, Terry Brown came to Carson Field today to take a breather. Because after the start of the season, West Ham United lost consecutive games in the Premier League, which made Terry Brown breathe a sigh of relief.

Hopefully, the team can win well in League Two in this game to boost the morale of West Ham United, who are currently in the shadows.

"We're at Carson Field, which is a new course. It is named after Oxford United's president, Firoz Carson. A Carabao Cup third round tie is played here today, with Oxford United hosting West Ham United in the Premier League. ”

Carson Field, October 2, 2002.

League Cup third round.

'Gary, what do you think of West Ham's starting line-up today. ”

"It's obvious. Glenn Rhodes doesn't want to waste energy in the Carabao Cup, but he also doesn't want to lose to League Two teams in the Carabao Cup. Judging by this starting lineup, Glenn Roder was too hesitant. Either the main force goes up and solves the game easily. Either send the youth army directly and abandon the game. Such ambiguity will not only affect the mentality of the players, but also have a very bad impact on the team. ”

Lineker was a direct critic of Glenn Rod's formation.

"It's probably West Ham's recent results that Glenn Rhodes can't explain. Therefore, I want to be angry with Oxford United, a team in League Two, but I am afraid of affecting the Premier League in two days, so there are many fewer main players. ”

West Ham finished seventh in the Premier League last season but have started the season with a very poor run.

It has entered October and has only won one game and is currently in the Premier League relegation zone. Glenn Rhodes is under a lot of pressure at the moment, taking the lead into the pitch with a gloomy face.

Both Morteson and Lineker guessed what Glenn Rhodes was thinking.

Because it's too obvious.

Glenn Rhodes wanted to give up the League Cup because of his poor results in the league. But it's been almost two months since the start of the Premier League, and West Ham have only won one game, putting too much pressure on West Ham.

Glenn Rhodes wants to use the Carabao Cup opportunity to boost the morale of the team.

"Toot-"

"The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and the third round of the League Cup officially began. Here's also an introduction to Oxford United, a promoted side of League Two, but they have performed well this season and are currently at the top of League Two. ”

"Lambert passes the ball to Holt, and Holt passes the ball back to Sidwell. Sidwell played the ball to the right and Ribery got his hands on it. ”

Glenn Rod's careful thoughts, Chen Ping saw through it at a glance.

If all the main players of West Ham United play, then even if Chen Ping wants to win the game, it will be very difficult. But today Glenn Rod made a big mistake.

Because at the back, Glenn Rod has chosen a mix of veterans and young players, and it is a very unsuitable combination.

Eighteen-year-old Glenn Johnson at right-back, 29-year-old Gary Brin and 17-year-old Anton Ferdinand at centre-back, and 38-year-old Winterburn at left-back.

When he saw this starting lineup, Chen Ping had already made a decision.

Ribery took the ball and immediately remembered Chen Ping's words.

"Frank, just get the ball in the game, use your speed to get rid of the opponent and cross. In terms of experience and defensive skills, Winterburn is top-notch. But no matter how good a defensive player he used to be, he was already thirty-eight years old, and he would be thirty-nine in two months, and his physical function was seriously declining. So there is only one way to deal with him, and that is to be fast, that is, to defeat him with speed. Don't give him a chance. ”

It was clear that Glenn Rhodes wanted to use the win to boost morale, but he didn't really take Oxford United seriously. Didn't really study Oxford United.

But it's understandable.

After all, there are a lot of Premier League games during this time, just three days ago the Premier League just played a game, and two days later there is a league game in the Premier League. Glenn Rhodes is more serious about his Premier League opponents than League Cup rivals Oxford United.

If you had really studied Oxford United, you wouldn't have two full-backs like that. Glenn Johnson was making his first appearance for West Ham and it was a clear player who was weak in attack and defence. As for Winterburn, although he was a famous Arsenal legend back then, he was one of England's very good left-backs. But he is already thirty-eight years old, he is too old, and his physical function has declined too severely.

And what are the two wings of Oxford United?

They are all explosive and extremely fast players. In the face of such a wide player, Glenn Rode actually put such a full-back, which can be seen how little attention is paid to Oxford United.

Winterburn was in a very good position the moment Ribery got the ball. Neither let Ribery cross, nor let Ribery cut inside, and firmly occupy the inside position. The defensive awareness is top-notch.

But Ribery remembered Chen Ping's words.

So I didn't entangle with Weinburne at all, just kicked the ball out, and then accelerated directly. Fighting wits with Winterburn, Ribery is no match.

Because one is an old fox, and the other is a fledgling rookie.

But the body is completely different.

"Ribery, Ribery is too explosive. Although Winterburn used to be a very good defender, his physical function has decreased too much, and his explosiveness and speed have deteriorated a lot. Ribery had already rushed over. ”

"Ribery, cross!"

'Lambert, Lambert and Anton Ferdinand fight for the header...... Anton Ferdinand's body is no match for Lambert. Lambert, head on the goal!"

Lambert's punch is strong.

Statistically, there isn't much difference between Lambert and Anton Ferdinand, but it's pretty much the same. But this time the two men competed for the header, and the gap was very obvious.

Lambert's data is poor, mainly in the technique at the feet, the ability to break through, and the ability to dribble.

After all, he is an England center forward, and his skills are relatively rough at his feet.

But Lambert's body and header are quite tough. In fact, even if Lambert goes to League One now, he can gain a foothold. Because of the rough technique at the feet, many of England's centre-forwards are like this.

But as long as you have good physical fitness and a good header, you can gain a foothold even in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

That's how Lambert is.

Anton Ferdinand is only 1.78 meters tall, and his high stats are mainly due to his good defensive skills and poor awareness. But with a center forward like Lambert, who is 1.88 meters and has strong bounce power and header ability, the gap is very big.

That's how the style of the ball comes together.

Don't look at the numbers, but Lambert has the upper hand. Of course, if it's Lambert with the ball at his feet now, there's nothing he can do against Anton Ferdinand.

But with a header, Lambert was even better.

A beautiful header flick on goal, Anton Ferdinand was directly knocked off by Lambert.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Lambert! Lambert!"

Nine seconds into the game, Lambert gave Oxford United a 1-0 lead over West Ham. It was a surprise that many people had not yet reacted to the start of the game, and Oxford United was already leading 1-0. It was the fastest goal in the history of the English League Cup. ”

"If you look at Lambert's header just now, you can see that his bounce is excellent. Lambert, who is only 20 years old this year, is currently the top scorer in League Two, scoring 15 goals in 11 league games. And Lambert is also a prolific goalscorer, scoring 41 goals in League 3 last season. ”

Mortenson's information was quickly found.

Although Oxford United is only a League Two team, Mortensen still did a lot of homework before commenting on this game.

"Gary, do you know where this Lambert came from?"

"How?"

"Speaking of Lambert, he still came from Liverpool's academy. It's just that when he was sixteen years old, he was eliminated by the Liverpool academy and came to Blackpool in League One. He didn't get a chance here for three years, and was eliminated by Blackpool, and even the clubs in the amateur league were not interested in him. Unexpectedly, after a free transfer to Oxford United, he immediately became a super goalscorer who killed all sides. ”

Mortenson is a complete treasurer.

"It's not just Lambert. Ribery, who has just assisted Lambert, is also a player who has been playing in the French amateur league. Brought in by Oxford United this summer, he has scored four goals and four assists in the current League Two, and has performed extremely well. ”

I don't know if I heard Mortenson's words, and the director's camera shifted from Lambert and Ribery, who celebrated the goal, to Chen Ping on the sidelines.

"Coach Chen Ping is only 28 years old this year. It was only last season that he took over Oxford United, led Oxford United to promotion in one season, and topped the League Two table this season. It is estimated that Oxford United will be able to upgrade this season. ”
