As soon as Jiang Shan "announced" the ownership of the Premier League title for the 20112012 season, the FA gave him a big "gift".

As a rule of thumb, the FA Cup is won at the end of May, usually after the Champions League final, and West Ham will compete for the FA Cup title after last season's Europa League final.

This season, however, the FA decided to play against the usual rules, with the FA Cup final scheduled for 6 May, after the penultimate round of Premier League fixtures and before the final round.

That would make it harder for West Ham to compete in the league but give them time to prepare for the Champions League final.

This year's Champions League final is scheduled for May 20, when the Premier League season has come to an end, and the Champions League final will be West Ham's last game of the season against Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho's side.

After each game, the team has to organize medical staff to relax the muscles of the players, so that each player can get a better rest.

Before the penultimate round of matches, Jiang Shan also gave the players a day off to relax their tense nerves a little.

In the last three rounds, this time period is very delicate, the difference between Manchester United and West Ham at the top of the table is 3 points, West Ham still has a lot of hope, but Manchester United only has the league to fight for, West Ham has to deal with the FA Cup, the league and the Champions League, every step can not be wrong.

The FA's approach, ostensibly to allow time for West Ham to prepare for the Champions League final, has actually increased the pressure on West Ham to win the treble, or rather, they simply don't want West Ham to succeed too quickly.

The league and the FA Cup, they want West Ham to not get it, the league to Manchester United, the FA Cup to Chelsea, and then ideally, West Ham win the Champions League, this is the glory of the Premier League.

If Manchester City had been a little stronger and reached the final of the Europa League, it would have been a real Premier League event, but unfortunately, Manchester City lost to Simeone's Atletico Madrid in the Europa League semi-finals.

This season's Europa League final, but it was a La Liga civil war, Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao, you read that right, Serbia did not reach the Europa League final.

Back to the Premier League, in the penultimate round, West Ham played against Swansea, and the team's fatigue was fully revealed, after all, Swansea's relegation team is difficult to bring a threat to West Ham.

Who would have thought that as soon as the game started, West Ham was scored by Swansea and fell behind 0:1. If they drop points in this game, the next two league games will be declared early, and United will not give West Ham any more chances.

Jiang Shan's face was ugly, he didn't know that the players worked hard, but at the critical moment, he told him that he must not take it lightly, and he still lost the ball. Fortunately, the timing of the goal was okay, and it was much better to concede the opening goal than to concede the goal near the end.

The 0:1 score game lasted for half time, and at the beginning of the second half, West Ham seemed to have changed teams and burst out with endless fighting power.

Ballack blew the wave of comebacks and led the team forward, as well as the veterans Drogba and Hargreaves, who suddenly rejuvenated themselves and looked ten years younger.

Soon, West Ham's side equalised with a goal from Suarez.

In the 80th minute, West Ham finally reversed the score, Ballack received a pass from Hargreaves and burst into the middle to become the biggest contributor to the reversal.

"Do they deserve another year of contract?" Zidane was a little expectant, "I think they are in good shape, especially Ballack, he is a 20-year-old today. ”

Jiang Shan also smiled, "Indeed, these guys performed impeccable in the second half today." ”

These three guys, this year's contracts are about to expire, except for Drogba, who renewed his contract for a year ahead of schedule, the other two are still being evaluated. Hargreaves wanted to look for new opportunities because he felt like he was in good shape, and after the game, his back was no longer sore, his legs were not painful, and his shots were more powerful.

Being a substitute at West Ham, and only a half-time substitute, is better than being a mainstay in a mid-stream team, which is more in line with his positioning for himself. Jiang Shan is ready to have a good chat with him, his physical condition will not be suitable for the intensity of the Premier League next year.

The best thing to do is for him to renew his contract for another year and then move to a less competitive trial competition, such as the Chinese Super League, where he can continue to play a huge role.

After the game, Ballack was trembling, he was really tired, there was no way, the state could only maintain a little more than half a high-intensity fight, today he carried the whole game, he was about to collapse, and his physical fitness reached a bottleneck.

The team doctor hurriedly came up and helped him to the locker room to massage and relax.

Jiang Shan communicated with him, after this game, he will be given a rest and give him the opportunity to play in the Champions League final, he has not won the Champions League, he has long been hungry and thirsty, Jiang Shan gave him the best opportunity.

However, the three veterans in the Jiangshan team have all played their due effects this season, especially Drogba, who scored several key goals to save the team, at least 6 more points in the league, and there are also key goals in the Champions League.

In this game, or the veteran will become the key factor, Jiangshan is thinking about whether to get a few more veterans back next season, if there is an old family, if there is a treasure.

West Ham did not fall behind in a crucial game today, still putting pressure on Manchester United, and if United make mistakes, they can take the lead. But the difficulty, it's really too much.

Jiang Shan still has the same opinion, "Manchester United have won the Premier League trophy, everything is in doubt, yes, especially the FA Cup final is about to go, we will definitely put all our experience on the FA Cup final." ”

'It's a title we have to defend and we want a trophy more than a league win. Jiang Shan smiled bitterly, "You know, West Ham need trophies, our honor room is empty, and it is not a grade comparison with Manchester United at all." ”

Ferguson rarely responded to Jiangshan's comments after the game, "We have to be careful, the league is not over yet, we have to continue to work hard, only after the last game is played, we can say that we have won the league title." ”

'West Ham have been fantastic this season and I hope they can win the Champions League and I'm a lad I admire a lot, he's incredible. Ferguson also led the media and let the media put pressure on West Ham.

You guys just prepare for the Champions League final, the domestic trophies, just give it to us. Well, Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo agrees, 'West Ham are in the Champions League final and although we are rivals in the Premier League, from a friend's point of view, we want them to win the Champions League and bring glory to the Premier League. ”

Roberto Di Matteo took over from Villas-Boas two months ago as Chelsea manager, leading them to the FA Cup final and looking to win a title, and they are still in contention for next season's Champions League spot, but are currently in fifth place.

In the penultimate round, West Ham face Everton, a mid-table team with no desire.

The book will be completed in the near future, and a new book is already in the pipeline, from a player perspective, a superplayer who competes with the peerless duo.
