Of course, a League Cup championship can't satisfy the current Chen Ping.

So after Chen Ping discussed with Julian Dicks, he made the UEFA Cup title the goal of West Ham. Once they win the UEFA Cup, West Ham will have a chance to complete a small treble by then. But it takes careful planning.

Finding a balance between the league and the UEFA Cup is not to affect the league just because of the UEFA Cup.

On March 5, 2005, the 29th round of the Premier League began, and West Ham hosted Birmingham. Chen Ping did not change the starting lineup in this game, which was exactly the same as the League Cup final. Because the first game of the League Cup quarter-knockout round will not be played until five days after the end of this game, that is, on March 10. So Chen Ping didn't start the rotation. The Carabao Cup triumph did not make the West Ham players lose their aggressiveness.

On the contrary, West Ham's young players are highly motivated by the Carabao Cup title.

Especially after the most difficult time of winter, Arshavin's state began to burst. It will take time for Arshavin to adapt to English football, not in the style of English football, of course, but to the English schedule.

In the Championship, Arshavin's form in the winter was also relatively sluggish. After reaching the Premier League this season, Arshavin is still in a slump in the winter. This has something to do with Arshavin's previous play in Russia. Arshavin didn't play in this time frame when he played in Russia. This is a matter of body memory and takes time to solve.

As he adapts to English football, Arshavin will disappear as well.

Arshavin has had that problem this season. However, after March, Arshavin's form has recovered. In fact, by the end of February, Arshavin's form had begun to recover. The Carabao Cup final was a very good one.

He was even better in this game.

Completed a hat-trick and had an assist. Following an impressive performance from Arshavin, West Ham beat Birmingham City 6-1 away. Lambert, who has attracted much attention in English football, was not very excited in this game, but he still scored a goal. By the end of the game, Lambert had scored 33 goals in the Premier League and 40 for West Ham in all competitions this season.

After the game, the English football world was full of lamentation, lamenting that the Premier League was over. Because in another game at the same time, Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by relegation team Norwich.

Chelsea were genuinely affected by the heavy defeat in the Carabao Cup final.

Jose Mourinho is brilliant and hardworking. But at present, all kinds of rumors are boiling outside, which is very bad for Mourinho. Many authoritative media have confirmed that Abramovich is not satisfied with Mourinho's results and is ready to change to a new coach. There is even news that Abramovich admires West Ham manager Chen Ping very much and is ready to invite Chen Ping to Chelsea to replace Mourinho.

Of course, most of these news are fake, and they are all fabricated by media reporters. However, it can also be seen that Mourinho is difficult at Chelsea.

The Carabao Cup final defeat, combined with these rumours, had a huge impact on Chelsea's preparations. The result was a strong Chelsea, a strong Chelsea, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Norwich. The gap to West Ham has widened to 13 points.

The media have already qualified.

After all, there are only nine rounds left in the Premier League, and one game between West Ham and Chelsea has been postponed, so Chelsea and West Ham are currently only ten games left. 13 points, that's more than four games away.

How to catch up.

No one thought Chelsea would be able to catch up with West Ham.

In the wake of Chelsea's draws at Norwich, Chelsea CEO Kenyon has come out to refute the recent rumours. Abramovic said that he was very satisfied with Mourinho's coaching and never thought of replacing Mourinho. And it's safe to say that Roman Abramovich and Jose Mourinho had very friendly talks to discuss the development of the team next season.

Although many people believe that this is just Kenyon to calm the current situation, many still think that Abramovich must be dissatisfied with Mourinho. But Kenyon's timely step up will still be of great use in stabilizing Chelsea.

After all, Chelsea even have a sense of stormy weather.

Roman Abramovich's displeasure, particularly with Chelsea's results, has led to rumours of replacing Jose Mourinho. Add to that the fact that Chelsea have just lost the Carabao Cup, and it was an unacceptable defeat. Needless to say, Chelsea are in even worse shape in the Champions League.

Jose Mourinho attacked the referee, causing Chelsea to become the public enemy of the referee. As a result, Mourinho was banned and Didier Drogba was banned from the Champions League. It's all bad news for Chelsea.

Kenyon came out at this time, it was really too timely to stabilize Chelsea.

The result was that Chelsea were bound to win.

After returning to home, on 9 March 2005, Chelsea came out in mourning. No one expected that Chelsea would defeat Barcelona with a score of 4-2 and eliminate Barcelona.

Everyone was taken aback.

A hearty, heart-wrenching game.

In just one game, all the media that said Jose Mourinho was leaving Chelsea changed direction. Because in this game, the gold content is more than all the previous games. Chelsea eliminated the mighty Barça, who were hailed by the media as the dream two.

Jose Mourinho's position was solid, and the morale of the Chelsea players was immediately uplifted.

Of course, Chen Ping didn't have time to pay attention to this at this time. 135 Chinese

The day after the Chelsea game, on 10 March 2005, the UEFA Cup quarter-finals began. This season's UEFA Cup can be said to be the lowest gold content, and there are no strong teams in the entire knockout round. The results of the Champions Cup restructuring are very obvious, the strong teams all run to the Champions Cup, and the rest of the League Cup is a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates. West Ham's opponent in the quarter-knockout round is Greece's Olympiacos.

Very weak opponents.

But Chen Ping is the main force in the battle.

Because after this game, the game will be intensive. On 16 March, the 28th round of Premier League matches between West Ham and Chelsea will begin. On March 18, the first match of the eighth-knockout round of the League Cup began. On March 20, in the thirtieth round of the Premier League, West Ham challenged Charlton away.

Chen Ping wants to destroy Olympiacos at once, only then the next choice will be easy.

Really.

The difference in strength is very obvious. Olympiacos' strength is very poor, and West Ham is all the main players and cannot resist at all. Although Olympiacos is a Greek team, they are not conservative at home at all. It's completely different from the national team winning the championship with defense.

The result was a 4-1 win over Olympiacos away from home for West Ham.

Lambert, who had been a little dull in the previous game, performed extremely well in this game, completing a hat-trick of headers. That brought his tally to six goals in the UEFA Cup and 43 at West Ham this season.

On March 16, 2005, the 28th round of the Premier League was played.

West Ham travel to Chelsea.

In just 20 days, West Ham and Chelsea met again. West Ham are in hot form, and Chelsea are also knocking out Chelsea, and the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho was ready to wash away the shame, and Chen Ping chose to defend and counterattack.

Chen Ping is the pursuit of stability.

Because of the big lead, Chen Ping is not willing to go toe-to-toe with Chelsea. But Mourinho wants to wash away the shame, especially the disastrous defeat in the League Cup final, so he must have a tough fight with Chen Ping. The result was a lively fight between the two sides.

Both sides played well.

Chelsea made the most of the wingers, using Didier Drogba to keep Pepe at bay. Very rare big attacking football, seizing on the holes in West Ham's defence and not letting go. The result was two goals scored in a row in the game. However, West Ham did not show weakness and also scored two goals on the counter-attack.

Including a counterattack, Lambert ran forty meters away. Even the commentator sighed that a high-school striker like Lambert had such speed and explosiveness. Complete such a beautiful long run. Lambert has already scored 34 goals in the league and 44 goals in all competitions.

The final score was two to two.

It was a great game, but Chelsea were very unhappy with the result. Because in the head-to-head games, Chelsea have not been able to close the gap on points. Chelsea and West Ham now have just nine league games left, and the points gap is still 13 points. Hope of overtaking is getting slimmer and slimmer.

On 18 March 2005, the second match of the League Cup quarter-knockout round began. West Ham host Olympiacos. Although they came off the bench, West Ham still beat Olympiacos 2-0 at home, knocking out Olympiacos 6-1 on aggregate and reaching the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.

On March 20, 2005, the thirtieth round of the Premier League began.

West Ham travel to underdogs Charlton Athletic.

Despite being an all-out squad against a weak team like Charlton, West Ham were unable to take all three points. Instead, they were held to a 1-1 draw away from Charlton. In the other game, Chelsea won 4-1 against Crystal Palace. Chelsea had a few minor ups and downs but quickly settled down and continued to perform very well in all competitions. It can be said that Mourinho's strength is really strong, and his ability to control the team is also very good.

The gap to West Ham is 11 points.

After the thirtieth round of the Premier League, the FA Cup is in between. However, neither Chelsea nor West Ham have played in the FA Cup, so there is plenty of time to rest.

On April 2, 2005, the 31st round of the Premier League began.

West Ham host Everton.

Historically, this season has not only been a season of success for Jose Mourinho, but also a season for Everton manager David Moyes to shine. Because David Moyes led Everton to a top-four finish and a Champions League spot.

It's a pity that Chen Ping's appearance changed everything.

Jose Mourinho's brilliance was overshadowed by Chen Ping, and David Moyes failed to lead Everton into the top four. West Ham also played a tough game in this game, and finally won 1-0 against Everton with a goal from Ribery.

Chelsea's form is still good.

Away from home it was a 3-1 win over Southampton.

By this time, though, Chelsea themselves were ready to give up on the league. With seven games left in the Premier League, West Ham are still 11 points ahead of Chelsea.
