Both won the Monthly Awards, and a number of West Ham players were selected for the Under-21 national team. Defoe was selected by the national team www.biquge.info only Owen and Husky existed, as well as Rooney, a new generation of talent, so Defoe was just a substitute in the national team.

At the current West Ham, only James is a starter for the national team.

After playing the fifth round of League One, West Ham postponed the sixth round because there were too many internationals. It wasn't until 13 September 2003 that West Ham resumed play.

Skipping the sixth round, West Ham host Reading in the seventh round of League One.

The long break did not affect West Ham's excellent form. Although the score was only 2-0, West Ham completely suppressed Reading in the game. There was no way to beat Reading.

Defoe scored once again and scored in all six of the opening six games of League One, scoring eleven goals in six games. He has become West Ham's most in-form player at the moment and the hottest striker in League One at the moment.

Four days later, on 17 September 2003, in the eighth round of League One, West Ham travelled to a promoted Makerou side who had been promoted to League One with Oxford United. The Crewe team is small and has not brought in any players this summer. Chen Ping was not afraid of him when he was at Oxford United, and even more so at West Ham.

West Ham comfortably beat Crewe 3-0 away to make it seven wins in a row.

On September 20, 2003, in the ninth round of the English League, West Ham was away again, playing the English One relegation team Gillingham. Although it was a promoted horse, the game was more difficult. The continuous games made West Ham's players more tired, and although Chen Ping made some rotations, the game was still very dull. However, when luck was fine, it couldn't be stopped, and West Ham relied on a counter-attacking opportunity for Defoe to score the only goal of the game.

One to zero.

Eight wins in a row.

All of a sudden, there were reports of West Ham all the time.

West Ham have only played nine games in League One because they are too strong in League One, and West Ham have even played one game less, but they are still seven points ahead of second-placed West Bromwich Albion.

On 24 September 2003, in the second round of the League Cup, West Ham met Cardiff, the same League One side. Although he met an English One team, because the games were too dense during this time, Chen Ping once again rotated the main lineup.

This is when the advantage of bench thickness begins to appear. Both teams rotated a number of players, but West Ham's bench was even stronger than Cardiff's main players, and the effect was even more obvious. Thanks to two goals from Sheringham and Noble's first in the Pro League, West Ham beat Cardiff 3-0 to reach the third round of the Carabao Cup.

On 28 September 2003, West Ham faced Norwich City, who had been in great form recently, in the 10th round of League One.

He was unable to maintain his winning streak and was held to a 1-1 draw by Norwich. It was Franck Franck Ribery who scored, with Defoe also ending his run of eight consecutive League One goals.

At this time, the draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup came out, and West Ham met Tottenham Hotspur, a north London side. West Ham are away to Tottenham Hotspur.

Since drawing Tottenham, Chen Ping immediately began to adjust his strategy.

West Ham have a total of five league games in October, plus a sixth round of make-up matches, giving West Ham a total of six rounds to play. The competition is already very intense, and with this Carabao Cup third round tie, West Ham have a total of seven games to play.

In order to ensure the League Cup match, Chen Ping began to prepare very early.

On October 2, in the 11th round of League One, West Ham won 3-0 at home against Sunderland. On October 5, in the twelfth round of the English League One, West Ham won 1-0 away from Derby County thanks to a goal from Haywood.

On 16 October, West Ham faced derby rivals Millwall at home and won 0-0 thanks to Lambert's goal. On 18 October, West Ham faced a weak Burnley side at home, rotated too many players, and were held to a 2-2 draw.

On October 23, in the sixth round of the League One rematch, West Ham was forced to draw again by Nottingham Forest at home, and won the first two consecutive draws of the season. On October 26, in the 16th round of the English League One, West Ham challenged Cardiff away. For the third round of the League Cup, Chen Ping made a big rotation in the sixteenth round of the English League. The main players were basically rested off the field, and even Ribery, Carrick, Glen Johnson, and Bynes didn't even go away. After the big rotation, West Ham once again got a 0-0 draw.

So far, six games have been played in October, and West Ham have won three and drawn three, which is completely incomparable with the results in August and September. However, after 16 rounds of League One, West Ham's lead is getting bigger and bigger, and they are already 17 points ahead of West Bromwich Albion. West Bromwich Albion, who had been in second place, was getting worse and worse during this period, and even lost three in a row for a while. As a result, Norwich City was overtaken by Norwich, who were two points ahead of West Bromwich Albion.

On 30 October, West Ham will face Tottenham Hotspur away from home.

…………

'Chairman Brown, West Ham have had a good run of results lately. ”

Daniel Levy, with his shiny bald head, shook hands with Terry Brown without smiling. The two men are familiar with each other, after all, both teams have always been in the Premier League. There were many opportunities to meet before.

"It's not as good as Tottenham in the Premier League. ”

Damn the Jews.

Terry Brown hated these shrewd Jews the most, they were too calculating. When West Ham were relegated, the first one to come up and bite was Tottenham, and it was Daniel Levy in front of him.

Terry Brown was very uncomfortable doing business with such Jews. For a little money, they will deal with you. Of course, don't look at Terry Brown and hate Levy, Levi also looks down on West Ham's boss Terry Brown.

But the relationship between the two clubs cannot be said to be very bad. Historically, there has also been a lot of player turnover between the two teams. But to say that the relationship between the two clubs is good, that's not it. Every time there was a game, there would be a big fight between the fans of both sides, and there would be a lot of verbal altercation between the clubs, and there would be a lot of conflicts.

Just before this game, there was a big fight between West Ham fans and Tottenham fans yesterday, and 93 people were arrested by the police for West Ham fans alone. Originally, it was just a simple League Cup match, but because of the fan trouble, it suddenly made this game smell of gunpowder.

Terry Brown also quietly mocked Daniel Levy.

This season the situation is completely different for both teams. West Ham are unbeatable in League One, and although October's results are down considerably from August and September, the lead is still huge.

With a six-game ball gap, there are hardly any problems with promotion.

Tottenham, however, is a different story.

Tottenham Hotspur had a poor record of one win, one draw and four losses in the first six rounds of the Premier League, which caused Tottenham manager Hoddle to be fired directly. He is currently Tottenham's sporting director, David Pulitt, as the club's manager on an interim basis.

The last few games have been a bit of an improvement. But the results are still not good, and they are completely inconsistent with the identity of a strong London team like Tottenham.

'It's a lot more difficult to play in the Premier League, it's not as easy as in League One. ”

Daniel Levy is not easy to mess with, and immediately sarcastically mocked West Ham that they can only play in League One.

Came.

Neither of them was happy with each other, but they didn't lose their temper. If former Chelsea chairman Bates had been here, he would have been swear words a long time ago. But Daniel Levy and Terry Brown are both personable and sarcastic to each other, but they don't swear.

"I've heard that Defoe and Carrick are doing well. ”

As soon as we sat down, Daniel Levy started talking about the players. Terry Brown has an ugly face because Defoe and Michael Carrick are both targets for Tottenham.

Tottenham have been chasing Defoe for a long time this summer. If it weren't for West Ham's tough attitude and Tottenham's low bid, Defoe might have left West Ham.

"It's very nice. ”

'We at Tottenham are missing a good midfielder and striker. ”

"Good midfielders and strikers don't come cheap. If you are careful, then it is impossible for a good player to go to Tottenham. ”

Terry Brown cursed Levi for being the Grandet. Your Tottenham boss has more than two billion pounds in assets, and a little bit of hair can help Tottenham bring in a lot of good players.

But look at Tottenham's stinginess.

Just spend that little money, and you want to bring in good players.

"Players want to get good results, they want to make more money, they want to go to big clubs, and no one can stop them. ”

Daniel Levy smiled.

Tottenham only poached Kanute in the summer, and Daniel Levy was not satisfied. West Ham have so many good players, including the amazing form of Defoe right now, as well as midfielder Michael Carrick, and even Glenn Johnson and Leo Coke are young talents that Premier League teams are very interested in.

Levy's idea was simple.

While West Ham is still in League One, at least a few people should be poached. After West Ham is upgraded, it will be much more difficult to poach people than it is now.

"I agree with that. ”

Terry Brown nodded in agreement, but sneered, "But who can get the better result depends on the game." ”

"Race?"

Daniel Levy looked at the players from both teams outside the stadium and shrugged: "Chairman Brown, you don't think West Ham can win this game, do you?"

"Football is round. ”

Terry Brown bites hard.

Damn it.

Although Tottenham Hotspur is not doing well now, it is a strong team in London after all, and it must be superior to a League One team like West Ham. Terry Brown himself has little confidence.

"Huh. Football is round, and that's what the underdog likes to say. ”
