"Run, run, run. ”

"Didn't you eat?"

"If anyone doesn't want to play, just tell me. ”

"Cheer up. ”

Chen Ping was angry.

After the game against Arsenal, the team regrouped for training after a day off. But the players were so excited in the last game that a lot of people went to the pub to celebrate the win after the game. After all, for these players, they are all energetic young people. An important match victory that immerses them in alcohol and women. As a result, they all began to languish. This was true for the first day of training, and it was the same for the second day. This made Chen Ping very angry.

It's understandable that I didn't adjust my condition in the first training session. But the second training session still didn't adjust the condition, which is not a good thing. The Premier League is game after game, and the schedule is so dense that there is no room for adjustment. If the players don't adjust quickly, the result is the same as Arsenal now. Don't look at West Ham's big lead right now, but as long as the form is not adjusted, those leads will soon be gone. Therefore, Chen Ping was very dissatisfied with the state of the players' performance.

Originally, Chen Ping rarely participated in team training.

Chen Ping's coaching staff is responsible for their duties, Liu Yu is responsible for basic training, and Julian Dix is responsible for the team's tactical drills. Chen Ping is responsible for the general direction. It's not that Chen Ping can't train.

Chen Ping started as a youth team coach in his last life, and in this world, he has also gone from a youth team coach, a first-team coach, and an assistant coach step by step to the present, and training players is Chen Ping's forte. But now that he has become a head coach, of course he can't be personally responsible for these things.

What does Chen Ping do as a head coach?

Usually, the main thing is to formulate the team's tactical style of play and the overall plan for the team's development. Then it's about studying your opponents, finding out their loopholes, and finding ways to beat them. This is what Chen Ping should do. It's just that today I saw that these West Ham players were in too bad shape, so I was angry, so I personally came to the sidelines to reprimand these players who didn't wake up.

"Chen, calm down, calm down. ”

Julian Dix grabbed Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was so angry that Julian Dix's training could not be carried out normally. Because these players are looking at Chen Ping's face. It is impossible not to look at Chen Ping's face, after all, many young players were brought to their current position by Chen Ping.

"I was so excited in the last game, they haven't adjusted yet. ”

"I know. ”

Chen Ping returned to his position and said with a smile: "After defeating Arsenal, even I haven't fully adjusted my condition, let alone these young people. But young players need to be pushed, they need to be nervous. Once these young players have relaxed, it will not be easy to cheer them up later. If they are not paying attention at all, they will forget to indulge themselves. So I just said that I was angry and told them not to let up, and I didn't really want to get angry. ”

Chen Ping has also been a coach for so many years, where is it so easy to get angry.

But there were times when Chen Ping had to let them know that he was angry. Only by letting them know that they are angry will these players be able to cheer up.

"You. ”

"Young players have to encourage them and pick up the whip behind them. Indulgence is not good for the development of young players, and of course it is problematic to push it blindly. Carrots and sticks are the best way to do it. ”

Chen Ping just went up and criticized the players fiercely, then returned to his seat and began to think about the next game. The next game is Manchester United. Although Manchester United has declined, Chen Ping does not dare to be careless when playing Manchester United.

Because whoever underestimates Manchester United will be taught a good lesson by Ferguson. So Chen Ping has been thinking about how to beat Manchester United. As long as they beat Manchester United, the rest of West Ham's games will be much smoother.

Even a win over Manchester United would have left West Ham's title trail smooth.

"Julian, tell me about it. What is United's biggest weakness right now?"

"Manchester United's weakness?"

Julian Dix didn't think about it and said directly: "They have a big problem at the back. The combination of Rio Ferdinand and Silvestre is not very consistent, it should be said that it is more reckless, and it is not a qualified centre-back combination. In recent years, Manchester United's centre-back combination has not performed well and conceded more goals. There is also Manchester United left-back Heinze Although the defense is brave, he lacks offensive strength and cannot effectively help the left side attack. United's attack on the left flank relied entirely on Ryan Giggs' individual prowess. ”

Julian Dix is Chen Ping's assistant coach, and it's his job to study the opponents. Even before Chen Ping thinks about his next opponent, Julian Dix needs to know the opponent's information in advance and then tell Chen Ping. The next game is Manchester United, so Julian Dix is of course also studying Manchester United. Now Chen Ping asked him, and he quickly answered.

"Also, Manchester United's goalkeeper kept changing, but they never found a consistent player. Carroll, who currently plays Manchester United's main player, has not been doing very well in recent games. Ferguson has been looking for a quality goalkeeper but has not been able to find one. ”

"Hmm. ”

Chen Ping nodded.

I agree with Julian Dix's words. Manchester United have a lot of problems at the moment, and the replacement of the old and the new has not been completed. Manchester United's veteran form has not been very good in the past two years, especially Keane, the core of Manchester United's midfield, has not been very good. Of course, Keane is now 33 years old, and it's time for his form to drop.

And Scholes and Giggs.

Although they are evergreens in football, they will be able to jump for many years in the future. But for now, the form of these veterans has been mixed. Therefore, Ferguson began to replace the old and the new at Manchester United, and began to reuse young players such as Ronaldo, Rooney and Fletcher. In order to replace the old and the new, young players such as Heinze, Alan Smith and Saha were purchased.

But this alternation of the old and the new makes the relationship between the old players and the young players not very good. Just like Ronaldo, Ferguson's favorite disciple, has a bad relationship with players like Keane and Ruud van Nistelrooy, and there are even many conflicts. This has also affected Manchester United's fighting power in recent times.

In addition to the replacement of the old and the new, Manchester United's backline has the most problems.

Over the years, United have not found a quality goalkeeper since Schmeichel's retirement. Starting with Barthez, the current Howard and Carroll are very inconsistent. If you perform well, you can block any ball. Poor performance, all kinds of low-level mistakes. They all lack what a good goalkeeper should be, and that is a lack of consistency.

Then there's the backline. 137

Sylvester is unstable and has some problems with strength. Heinze defended well, but the offense was average and could not support the attack in front. Rio Ferdinand, the strongest player, is indeed a top-class centre-back, but he occasionally lacks concentration. The result is that United's backline is not even as good as Liverpool's.

'It looks like it's going to be a big attack on Manchester United. ”

Chen Ping muttered to himself.

"Chen, it's not easy to force Manchester United. Although Manchester United's backline has such and such problems, the coordination of the back line is relatively tacit. If you attack strongly, it is easy to be counter-attacked by Manchester United. Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo are both good counter-attackers. ”

Ferguson is not Arsene Wenger.

Arsene Wenger is not in a desperate situation, he will not change his style of play at will, and has always adhered to his football philosophy. But Ferguson is different. If needed, Ferguson can put more emphasis on defending than Munirio.

"Chen, I think the current situation is more favorable for us. There is no need to risk attacking Manchester United. Even if we get a point, it's an acceptable result for us now. ”

Julian Dix immediately gave his opinion.

West Ham are now nine points ahead of Arsenal and 11 points ahead of Chelsea. A draw didn't have much impact on West Ham.

"Not necessarily. ”

Chen Ping shook his head.

He looked at the players in training and said, "Then it depends on the performance of our offensive players." If they play well, then two or three players will be able to break down United's defence without having to go all out. ”

Chen Ping's gaze finally fixed on Lambert.

If you want to storm Manchester United, if you want to defeat Manchester United, the heavy responsibility should fall into the hands of Lambert. Lambert is already very good at the moment and is a very qualified centre-forward player in the Premier League. Now Lambert has the physicality, the pace, the headers, and the movement is good, and the shots are okay.

While ball control, breakouts, and passing are just the norm, they won't affect Lambert's ability as a top-tier center too much. But at the moment, Lambert is saying that more goals are scored with headers.

The means of attack are still too simple.

Especially against a team like Manchester United, Lambert still has a lot of problems at the moment. To break down United's defence, Lambert needs to grow a little more. Chen Ping took a closer look and finally settled on Lambert's shooting data.

Lambert's shots are still not low, and the data of 7 is already relatively good among Premier League strikers. If there are more than 7 shots on goal, those are the statistics of the Premier League's top strikers. Once the shooting stats reach 8, then they are the top scorers in world football. However, although the data of 7 is good, it is obviously not qualified to defeat Manchester United.

West Ham have had a good run of results during this period, with 13 wins and 1 defeat in 14 games, scoring 47 goals. Chen Ping had already used 4 strength points before, and now he can still exchange 4 strength points.

However, it is useless to exchange for 4 strength points.

Because Lambert's shot is 7, but his shot potential is only 8. Even 4 strength points can't be used. Therefore, Chen Ping changed the exchange and exchanged 2 strength points and one potential point.

And then it was used on Lambert's body.

Let Lambert's shooting potential become 9, and Lambert's shot also becomes 9.

Looking at the changing data, Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh. The current Lambert is really a big killer in Chen Ping's hands, even a nuclear weapon. When Lambert returned from the national team in October, his strength was 186. After more than a month of games, consecutive victories, and West Ham has always been ranked first in the Premier League. As a result, Lambert's stats changed again, becoming 188, mainly because Lambert's mental strength continued to strengthen.

When Lambert first met Chen Ping, his mental stats were relatively poor. But with Chen Ping's upgrades all the way, his mental strength is constantly strengthened, and his self-confidence is constantly improving. After participating in the national team, there was a leap forward. West Ham have been so good during this period that Lambert's stats have strengthened again. The current Lambert is already quite powerful in terms of spiritual strength.

And after this reinforcement, Lambert's stat became 190.

This is the player with the highest overall stats among West Ham players so far. And most importantly, Lambert's main stats are very good. In particular, the two stats of a central striker are the most beautiful, one is 9 shots on goal and the other is 9 headers.

Lambert has a shooting potential of 8, and according to Lambert's normal development, he will not be able to have 8 stats until he is about 30 years old. However, as I get older, although my experience increases and my shooting ability increases, my physical fitness decreases.

Therefore, if Lambert was developing at a normal pace, he would not have achieved much. Just enough experience and maturity of technology, the body begins to decline again. But now it's different, both physical and technical abilities are at their peak. Even Chen Ping can be sure that the current Lambert is stronger than Vieri at his peak in terms of physical strength, shooting ability, including header ability. He has become the world's top center forward.

So I was very excited.

To Julian Dix: "Julian, start training on Ricky [Lambert's] shooting from today. To make him understand more that he is more than just a centre-forward who grabs the header. He can shoot from any position, from any angle. ”

"Strengthen his shooting practice?"

"Yes. Don't let him just grab shots in the box, let him know he's a well-rounded striker. From any angle near the penalty area, shoot decisively whenever there is a chance to shoot. You have to train him more in this regard, so that he himself has this kind of confidence. Against Manchester United, I'm going to use Ricky to attack the Manchester United backline. ”

Chen Ping is confident.

Because of the 9 shots, it is already the top in world football. Chen Ping has played in the Premier League for almost half a year, and he has basically encountered strong teams in the Premier League, and he has also seen the data of those top strikers. But haven't seen anyone with 10 shots on goal. Even Henry, the Premier League's top scorer in recent years, has only 8 shots, and of course Henry's long-range shots are also 8. But what Henry really is really good at is that his speed, explosiveness, movement, passing, coordination, breakthrough, and technique are almost all 9s. These are the things that make Henry the top striker in the world, making him more than 190 in stats.

Lambert is far behind Henry in terms of passing, coordination, breaking, and technique. But in terms of shooting, headers, and running, it was better than Henry. Of course, Henry and Lambert have different characteristics and use them differently. Lambert is the centre-forward and Thierry Henry can be the heart of the attack, that's the difference. Therefore, Chen Ping believes that Lambert's 9 shot data and 9 header data are absolutely amazing.

"Good. ”

Julian Dix has some doubts about whether Lambert alone can break down United's defence. However, since Chen Ping decided so, of course he complied.
