What is the concept of Shot 9?

The ability to seize opportunities has increased dramatically. If you talk about 7 shots, it's about five shots on goal to be able to score a goal. Then with 8 shots, it will be about three shots to score a goal. At around 9 or 10, then a second shot can score a goal.

Of course, shooting is not the same as shooting.

Some ineffective random shots are not included in this statistics. The main thing to say here is that the real shooting chances, by the time of 9, the goal conversion rate will be very high. And the higher the shooting data, not to mention that many inevitable scoring opportunities can be grasped, even a lot of difficult goals can also appear, and shots from many angles have a chance to score. When Chen Ping turned Lambert's shot into a nine, Lambert's shot was greatly powerful.

Lambert himself began not to find out.

However, Julian Dix soon began to train Lambert according to Chen Ping's deployment. Let Lambert understand that he is more than just a center forward who shoots from the spot, he can do so much more. As long as you are not far from the goal, you can make a bold shot.

The results are very good.

In practice, Lambert suddenly became more and more threatening. From any angle near the penalty area, you can directly threaten the goalkeeper if you have the opportunity to shoot with your feet. This was completely impossible before.

However, after Chen Ping turned Lambert's shooting data into 9, it has begun to be slowly reflected in training. It can even be said that the shot stats are 9, so as long as the feet are up, they can create a threat.

But the real training of Lambert starts with changing Lambert's thinking. Familiarize Lambert with this style of play. Lambert has been training in this area for the past few days.

However, before the game against Manchester United, West Ham have another UEFA Cup game, the third game of the UEFA Cup group stage. West Ham are travelling to take on Spanish side Villarreal. The UEFA Cup group stage and the 15th round of the Premier League were only two days apart, so Chen Ping went to Spain with a large number of substitutes and youth team players. Even some of the important substitutes didn't go along.

Chen Ping doesn't care about the results of the League Cup, but he won't lose casually.

Chen Ping's philosophy is simple. Some games can be given up strategically, but tactically there is never a deliberate attempt to lose. Strategic abandonment is just to decide on more important games based on the goal, but it doesn't mean that you lose a game that isn't important. Chen Ping will not give up for no reason in any game, and Chen Ping did not give up directly in his concept.

Therefore, Chen Ping is very hard-working.

Even if you can't win, you should come back with a draw. But I think so, but the difference in strength cannot be ignored. Villarreal has slowly risen in recent years, and its strength is still good, and it belongs to the second-rate team in La Liga. West Ham, on their side, have a mix of substitutes and youth players. So although they worked hard, they still lost 0-1 to Villarreal in the end.

It was the first time in two months that West Ham had lost.

But Chen Ping was very happy when he came back.

Because even if they lose this game, West Ham still have two wins and one loss and are in first place in the group stage of the League Cup. Below are Villarreal and Partizan Belgrade, both with four points. Further down is Lazio with two points and Igaleo with zero points. Because the group stage of the UEFA Cup is a three-team appearance, after this game, West Ham has actually appeared in advance.

Lazio and West Ham have both played three games, with both teams having just one game left. Therefore, even if Lazio wins the remaining games, it is only five points, and it cannot catch up with West Ham United.

And Igaleo.

At the moment Igaleo has only played two games and lost two. With two games remaining, it is impossible to win two in a row with Igaleo's quality. Even if they win two in a row, they will only accumulate six points. Because West Ham have already won away to Igalio once in the first game of the UEFA Cup group stage, even if Igalio gets six points, West Ham will be ranked higher than Igaleo.

In other words, Lazio and Igalio will be behind West Ham regardless of the outcome of the next match. So West Ham has already appeared early, and no matter what the result of the last game, West Ham have reached the last 32 of the League Cup.

It's easy.

Chen Ping did not use many main players in the group stage of the League Cup, and used substitute players in all three games, but he still appeared easily from the group stage.

'Ricky [Lambert], Andre [Arshavin], did you see? Silvestre, a left-back Silvestre, was a strong player when he was a left-back at Manchester United. At that time, some people criticized Sylvester for getting carried away when attacking, always forgetting his duties, criticizing his poor sense of movement and poor defensive ability. Now playing at centre-back, Silvestre still has this problem. Silvestre's performance at Manchester United's centre-back was so poor during Rio Ferdinand's suspension that Ferguson coach tried to make Gary Neville a cameo at centre-back. ”

November 28, 2004, the fifteenth round of the Premier League.

West Ham host Manchester United.

Chen Ping made the final deployment in the locker room. The most important thing in this game is Lambert, Chen Ping wants to make Lambert start to change from a center forward to a more comprehensive forward play. Or let Lambert change from England's traditional centre-forward model, mainly relying on headers and grabbing points, to a more powerful and well-rounded centre-forward.

"Andrey. "The starting point

"Head. ”

"You have to be bold in the Manchester United penalty area, use your skills, your flexible movement, and keep Rio Ferdinand at bay for me. Don't give Ferdinand a chance to support Silvestre, let Ferdinand be honestly behind. ”

"Yes. ”

Ferdinand is an occasional short circuit, so many have criticised him for being inconsistent.

But Rio Ferdinand's strength is really strong, which Chen Ping admitted, and Ferdinand is undoubtedly the top centre-back in the current Premier League. Sylvester was a little reckless, and it was Ferdinand who wiped his ass in the back. Therefore, Chen Pingcai asked Arshavin to contain Ferdinand.

"Ricky, you're mainly playing against Silvestre in this game. Although Sylvester is reckless and has some problems with his positioning, he is not bad at grappling. He'll be sure to wrap around you firmly and keep you from hitting their penalty area. You don't want to get past him, get rid of him, it's not your job to do it. You have to play to your strengths and play to your characteristics. Use your body to withstand him and find a shot on goal. As long as there is a chance to shoot, don't hesitate or think too much. It doesn't matter what position it is, as long as there is really a chance to shoot, the space to shoot, shoot resolutely. ”

Lambert is not Ronaldo.

You can use your speed, your skill to get past the defenders, and even the goalkeeper. Nor is it a player with excellent skills and aura like Raul who can use his skills to create shooting opportunities past defenders. Lambert's technique at his feet is unpretentious and typical of an English player. It doesn't matter if you have the ball, if you dribble, it's not good. Wanting to use his feet to excel is not a characteristic of Lambert.

What are the characteristics of Lambert?

Historically, Lambert has been characterized by his speed, explosiveness and excellent headers, making him a very impactful centre-forward. As long as the two wings are strong and the crosses are not so outrageous, then Lambert's power will increase significantly. Once West Ham excelled on both flanks, there was really no one in the Premier League who could withstand Lambert's header among the current Premier League centre-backs.

But as he intensified his shot, Lambert began to step into the ranks of the world's top centre-forwards like Vieri. Such a center forward is not only strong in impact, but also excellent in heading. And the shooting ability at the foot is also excellent. With Lambert's current 9 shooting stats, he can shoot from anywhere in the box.

That's the scariest thing.

This kind of centre-forward, as long as you give him a little bit of space and opportunity to shoot, they can shoot, and they can shoot with a high level of threat. More importantly, Ferguson wouldn't know that, and neither would Silvestre. They all developed tactics based on Lambert's previous strength, as long as Lambert was forced out and Lambert was not given a chance to storm the penalty area, then Lambert's threat would be greatly reduced.

That's the best chance.

It is completely possible to catch Ferguson by surprise and Sylvester by surprise.

"Yes. ”

"Decisive, you know, don't have any ideas, you have to know that you're West Ham's main centre-forward, West Ham's main scorer. Whenever you have the chance, you have to shoot decisively. ”

Chen Ping's biggest concern is that Lambert has not yet changed.

After all, Lambert used to play as a header-oriented centre-forward, and suddenly he was able to shoot more decisively, which was a style change for Lambert. Therefore, Chen Ping constantly emphasized the need to be decisive.

"Yes. ”

Lambert nodded.

If it was the former Lambert, it would have been stressful. But over the years, Lambert's psychological quality has improved rapidly, and he can already withstand these pressures. And Lambert is the most admired by Chen Ping among the current West Ham, because it was Chen Ping who single-handedly brought him to his current position.

So since it was Chen Ping's deployment, Lambert did not hesitate to execute.

'Manchester United will definitely limit Frank [Ribery], Jermaine [Defoe] and the middle of the pitch, as well as their movement on the wings. Michael (Carrick), so your responsibilities are heavy. You have to keep putting the ball upside down, and you need to move the ball at your feet quickly. And you're going to have to run more than you normally would, and you're going to have to be there all over the pitch. You'll have to run to pick up your teammates. At the same time, you have to use your movement to bring the movement of Manchester United's midfield. Keane's declining form this season has a lot to do with his age. You let Keane run at your pace, reduce Keane's protection at the backline and create more chances for Ricky and them. ”

"Yes. ”

Fighting Keane, Carrick is ready to move.

Not being able to play Keane in his prime was a regret for Carrick. But against Keane now, Carrick is still very happy.

"Guys. A win over Manchester United would have us end a perfect November with a win. ”
