The fixtures have entered April, and the final sprint time for the league's trophies. The battle for the league title really started between Chelsea and Manchester United, although Manchester United's lineup was ugly in the past two years, but with Ferguson's scheduling, it was able to grab the league title.

But this season, Chelsea's chances are even greater, with Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and John Terry all having the best last-minute push to win the league title again.

As for the competition for a Champions League seat, it has also entered the final white-hot stage. The north London double, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur going head-to-head at the top of the table. Tottenham Hotspur relied on the excellent performance of Bale and others, and it was in front of Arsenal, and in the last month or so, it was up to Wenger's scheduling.

Manchester City are in fifth place for the time being, and they are only one step away from a Champions League place, but this step is just not going to be crossed. West Ham are provisionally sixth in the table, one place above Liverpool.

After Liverpool sold Xavi Alonso, they did not strengthen accordingly, and in the face of the wolves in the league, the competitiveness really dropped and they were defeated.

Liverpool's experience is similar to the result predicted by Jiang Shan in Sky Sports, "Liverpool is not very competitive this season, and being able to win a European place is a successful season, and Benitez cannot be blamed too much." ”

Benitez had done his best, and his aura seemed to be dissipating. Of course, West Ham's prospects of qualifying for next season's Champions League are not optimistic, although they have a complete main squad and are not weak in competitiveness, but the team's squad is still thin and there are not many players who can withstand it.

The players bought by Jiangshan have already shouldered the burden in the team, but many of them are still very young, their performance has fluctuated greatly, and they have not been able to continue to output stably.

Heynckes is also helpless, in the second half of the season, the team has been up and down in the top seven, and like Manchester City, it is still a breath away from reaching the Champions League place.

Heynckes certainly isn't as good as they can be in the team, but the season is long, and West Ham's total time to reach the Champions League places in the table is just one week, which is unjustifiable anyway.

Manchester City occupied the top four for a long time, but they couldn't bite at the last moment and fell to fifth. Although Jiang Shan is not in charge, observing the performance of each team, it has been clearly felt that this season, many strong teams in the Premier League are not as strong as before.

Next season, the competition for the league title will be more intense, if you fail to reach the Champions League this season, how will the team stabilize in the face of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal next season? It's all huge problems.

Many players are looking at the name of Jiangshan to come over, and if they don't produce results for a long time, the team's cohesion will definitely be weakened. The current West Ham is basically a new team, and it needs one championship after another to improve cohesion.

In the history of West Ham, there are not many accolades to take the shot. The 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup was the only European honour in the club's history.

Moreover, the cup was cancelled in 1999 and there is no longer any desire to win it. Jiangshan bought West Ham, to a certain extent, to see this trophy, if the team wins the Europa League and Champions League trophies, it will be the first European slam in England's history.

The only teams that have won all three European titles so far are Juventus, Bayern Munich and Ajax.

If West Ham fail to win the Champions League this season, they will be out of the league next season to compete for the Europa League, which will be West Ham's most important goal next season.

Moreover, the Europa League winners have a place to qualify for the Champions League.

In addition to the Cup Winners' Cup, West Ham also have three FA Cup titles, one League Cup title, and without a league title, the quality and weight of the title are clearly insufficient.

The most recent FA Cup triumph was in 1980, 30 years ago, and many West Ham fans were not born. As for the League Cup, the year of winning the trophy is even older, dating back to 1940, and almost no fans remember.

It's a bit of history, but the weight is average, so the team is far from being a giant team, but after Jiangshan became the owner, the team already has all the conditions to become a giant.

"In the last few games, we have to win back-to-back games and hope that the opponent will make mistakes, which is very difficult." Woodward suggested firing Heynckes at this point. His purpose is obvious, he wants to let Jiangshan out of the mountain in advance, maybe Jiangshan comes out to coach, which can bring a qualitative change to West Ham.

In the last few games, as long as they win all, the team has hope of winning the Champions League, but this round-faced bearded man doesn't know that even if Jiang Shan is out of the mountain to coach now, the team's performance will not be greatly improved.

The team needs to adapt to the new manager, and he needs to adapt to the players, this is a team that Heynckes has kneaded, and there are still many differences in the coaching philosophy of the two, and it is impossible to bring about a change immediately after taking over.

So, he rejected Woodward's suggestion, "We had an agreement with Heynckes to at least keep him in charge until the end of the season. Moreover, there is still a little hope of reaching the Champions League, and it cannot be disrupted by his deployment. The change of coach will be discussed after the end of the season. ”

Jiang Shan continued, "But we have to prepare for the operation of the next season in advance, and we will train in Huaxia in the summer, but the introduction of players cannot be pulled down." ”

The squad is not strong enough to continue to bring in new players, but due to budget constraints, the summer recruitment is mainly veterans.

Focus on recruiting veterans, increase experience points, and also enhance the team's ability to withstand pressure.

Jiang Shan plans to extend his clutches to the players he once coached, among the players of that year, many of them were loyal to Jiang Shan, at this time, an order, are you afraid that this group of players will not come over?

West Ham are also a team that can afford high wages! Times are different, and if they want to be a big team, the salary cap will have to be raised.

In the final round, West Ham lost again and declared that they would not be able to win a Champions League place, and the goal set at the beginning of the season was shattered, and for West Ham, the season was over.

Heynckes communicated with Jiangshan and wanted to resign early, he was very interested in his reputation and didn't want Jiangshan to drive people away, so he took the initiative to resign in a showdown with Jiangshan.

"Actually, I'm quite satisfied with your coaching." Jiang Shan blocked the resignation letter, "Although we can't win the Champions League, the team's progress is obvious, you did a great job. ”

"But a contract is a contract, and I respect it. If I didn't lead the team to win the Champions League, I would have resigned voluntarily. "Heynckes spoke very decisively.

"With the whole season, there's still three games, isn't it?" Jiang Shan is not in a hurry, he is ready to go out of the mountain, and he must also be well prepared, "Next season, I hope you can continue to stay in England." I want to give you a position as a technical director, what do you think? ”

Heynckes has good connections and abilities, and it's better to stay in the team and get a good position than to be poached by other opponents.
