Jiang Shan remembers very well that the 2012 Champions League final was between Bayern and Chelsea, and Chelsea miraculously won the Champions League and became indisputably another world-recognized giant team in European football.

Of course, Chelsea are unlikely to reach the Champions League final this season, and their striker Didier Drogba is now in West Ham on a three-year contract.

Jiangshan gave this old subordinate enough to give him a three-year contract in one go, and when the contract expires, Drogba is nearly 36 years old, I don't know if he can resell it again in the Super League?

After the draw results came out, several teams had different faces. But Jiang Shan didn't think about it so much, he still had to face Barcelona.

Guardiola walked over easily, his head was very bald, and it was estimated that in the position of Barcelona coach, there was a lot of pressure, "Coach Jiangshan, we meet again, this time, it's time for me to win, right?" ”

"Want to win? Absolutely, just beat West Ham. Jiang Shan hugged Guardiola, this is his proud disciple.

Jiangshan has a lot of disciples, and now they are all calling for wind and rain in football, the earliest Tuchel, then Guardiola, Simeone, Pochettino, and now, Jiangshan's assistant coach is Zidane.

He will also be a head coach in the future.

West Ham vs. Barcelona, Europa League winners vs. Champions League winners, warm-up tournaments, but known as the European Super Cup, the European champion teams have a heart and don't want to lose the title.

The match that followed the Champions League draw quickly attracted the presence of all the managers of the European teams and was destined to become a classic.

Jiang Shan and Pep Guardiola entered the field, one Europa League winner and one Champions League winner, and today they will decide the winner of the UEFA Super Cup.

Fellow Premier League rivals Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Villas-Boas and Roberto Mancini all sat in their seats and waited quietly for the kick-off as they looked out West Ham's fight. This season, West Ham remain a strong contender for the Premier League title.

La Liga's Jose Mourinho and Simeone, who have become Atletico's manager, were also sitting on the sidelines, but of course, he was a little disappointed that the team sold Sanchez to Barca.

Bayern coach Louis van Gaal was also on the sidelines, his face was calm, and he seemed to have the chance to win, "Guardiola was also my apprentice back then, let me feel the progress of this guy." Jiang Shan - he is really difficult to deal with. In this season's Champions League, we have to win the first place in the group, and the pressure is not small. ”

Klopp was wearing a cap, "Everyone is afraid of Barcelona's passing and control tactics, it is estimated that Jiang Shan and I will crack it, what kind of lineup will Jiang Shan arrange today?" ”

Jiang Shan saw the coaching lineup on the sidelines, his face was calm, and he waved to the coaches, thanking them for watching the game.

Pep Guardiola is much more settled, he doesn't have the star air of the country, he walks into the field smoothly, his mind is full of today's tactics, "Guys, remember our tactics, according to the usual way of play, we can take them out." ”

Pique had a small injury and couldn't play, but like a political commissar, he cheered up his teammates, "The most feared thing for the Premier League team is our passing and control tactics, brothers, do a big job today, let everyone see, we are the top team in Europe." ”

On Pep Guardiola's side, the main force poured out, but he has been looking forward to it for a long time, "Today is the day I beat Jiangshan, thank God for letting him win the Europa League, otherwise I thought I wouldn't be able to play on the stage of the Super Cup!" ”

With the pride of the Champions League champion, Guardiola is full of confidence, touching his bald head, and feeling great. He was shocked to find that there was a bald head on the other side, and, more light than him, would shine......

Goalkeeper Valdés, Barcelona's main goalkeeper, an underrated guy. The national team career is also very sad, he was suppressed by Casillas, and it was difficult to get ahead, but he was like a fish in water at Barcelona.

At the back, the combination of Alves, Mascherano, Puyol, and Abidal is the main force in the main line, and there is also the new left-back Adriano on the bench.

The golden trio in the midfield, Xavi, Sergio Busquets and Iniesta, is one of the only magic weapons for Barcelona to sweep Europe, and the other magic weapon is, of course, Messi on the forward line.

In the forward line, Messi is in the middle, flanked by Pedro and Villa, the main lineup last season. Also on the bench are captain Cesc Fabregas, who has transferred from Arsenal, and players such as Sanchez, who has just been bought, are waiting for their chance.

West Ham also contended with David Silva, who was rested and sat on the bench depressed, waiting for his chance.

In the goalkeeper position, it is still the skinny De Gea, this season, he has been completely straightened by the country, directly ascended to the main position, and the veteran Friedel has become his main substitute.

On the back line, there is not much suspense, although Danilo is also good, but he can only play as a substitute at the moment, Baines, Cahill, Hummels and Glen Johnson, a combination of hardness and speed.

In terms of midfield, it is still the configuration of four midfielders, the combination of Reuss, Kroos, Modric and Bale, Jiangshan wants to let Ferguson know that 442 can still kill Barcelona, and his 451 is too weak, but it is not easy to control the game.

On the forward line, Lewandowski and Suarez started together, and the two of them had enough tacit understanding and were very lethal. The newly signed Didier Drogba sat on the bench and looked at it.

With all the managers watching, this pinnacle showdown finally began.

Barcelona were the first to kick off, and they were not in a hurry to attack, possessing the ball at the back to attract West Ham players.

West Ham did go up, they raised their defence very high, and the players up front were quick to move and concentrate a lot of players around the centre circle.

"Is it still the same trick? A quick counterattack? Hehe, it's useless for me anymore. Pep Guardiola relaxed a lot when he saw his team controlling the tempo of the game, with West Ham players rarely getting into Barca's backfield.

After all, Lewandowski's body is swinging, and he can't run at high speed for the whole game.

The ball passed from Puyol's feet to Alves, who crossed to Busquets, who took a step and gave it to Xavi with ease in the face of Lewandowski's harassment.

At this time, West Ham's rhythm changed, Kroos suddenly stepped up, Xavi quickly turned around, protected the ball with his back, and protected. Kroos didn't kick down, and two or three teammates had already come over to kill him, forming a situation of encirclement and suppression.

A little uncomfortable, Xavi didn't dare to rush in, knocked the ball back and distributed it to the back, where the West Ham players let them pass through the back line, and only Suarez made a simple harassment.

Barcelona continued to probe and gave Iniesta, and in the face of Modric, Iniesta quickly distributed the ball and gave it to Pedro. Pedro hadn't picked up speed before he was targeted by Bale.

At this time, Bale was very far behind, staring at Pedro, Glen Johnson and Suarez, and Modric all came over, once again forming a siege near the midfield.

"Barcelona couldn't break down West Ham's defence?" Jose Mourinho was a bit of a surprise.

Ferguson's face changed slightly, "This is ...... High pressing near midfield? Several head coaches were moved, and sure enough, the pressing tactics arranged by Jiang Shan at the beginning were very effective.

In the first few minutes, Barcelona fell to the bottom and had possession but could not cause damage.

Unable to get the ball into the dangerous area of West Ham's back, possession had no effect at all. Jiang Shan sat in the coach's seat and looked at the players on the field calmly, "It's not in vain that we have been training for so long, and it still has some effect." ”

"It's not just an effect, it's just choking Barcelona's throat." Zidane was excited.
