486 Historical Mission
Jiangshan also considered that West Ham participated in the Champions League for the first time, and the excitement in the hearts of many players has not passed, so it is safer to arrange some experienced veteran players to take them around.
There's no way to do it at the back, except for Hummels, who felt the excitement of the Champions League at AC Milan, everyone else is a chick.
De Gea is still young and understandable, the older Baines and Glen Johnson are also guys with no experience in the Champions League, not to mention Cahill, who had no chance to play in the Champions League at Bolton at all.
In the midfield quartet, Jiang Shan let the old man Ballack start, with his little German brother Kroos, Modric could only sit on the bench depressed, next to the little rocket Reuss and David Silva.
Silva also has Champions League experience, which is also the experience value given to him by Jiangshan, which gives him an advantage over Bale. There is no room for loss at home, and Bale's impact is more efficient to stay away from home and play counter-attack.
On the forward line, Drogba, an old man, also started the game, with Suarez, Lewandowski's role is similar to Drogba's, and he has no experience, so he has to sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity to play.
Zidane looked at several players on the bench, and only scolded the violent things in his heart, "What a good player these are!" didn't even get the chance to start, and the West Ham created by Jiangshan was simply terrible. ”
"You guys, don't worry about appearances. This game is just the first game of the group stage, and you'll have plenty of opportunities for the next few games. Rest assured. Zidane also has the task of comforting the players who are not playing, which is his duty as an assistant coach.
At the beginning of the game, neither side made a big attack, but just tested each other, tried the depth, and then decided on the strength and speed.
Jiang Shan also agrees with Mazzari's strategy, although this guy doesn't play very well, but as a head coach, he still has a level, of course, it's still a little worse than me.
As the game progressed, Mazzalhi's face became more and more ugly, where did West Ham look like a Champions League recruit? It's completely an old man going to the battlefield, and it's very oily.
Looking at Ballack and Drogba, two old friends, Mazzar was very helpless, their existence, sure enough, quickly brought up West Ham's players, there was Drogba in the front, he kept pointing out his teammates, Reus and Suarez were a little bit clear, the performance was very good, and the threat was getting bigger and bigger.
Ballack sat in the midfield position, communicating with the back line from time to time to make them a little more composed, and Napoli's attack was easily stifled.
Jiang Shan looked at the team's steady performance, and couldn't help but be excited, "That's it, I bought these veterans, not as mascots." On such occasions, the role of the veteran is irreplaceable. ”
In recent years, why can't Arsenal bear it every critical moment? Crash after February? A big part of the reason is because the pitch is full of young people, and no one teaches them how to control the tempo, how to distribute their energy, how to win, or even how to play small moves.
Cavani carried Cahill to shoot, but it was far away, but Baines made up for it, and the ball fell to the sideline, but the corner was not given.
Cavani is still young, in good health, and has a good ability to grasp opportunities, and it is not yet time to spit out the cake, which is the cake he made himself, and he wanted to kill West Ham's majesty, but he was a little crooked.
Ballack and Baines broke the ball together, Baines immediately passed the ball to the front, and Reus received the ball, kept turning the ball, and hit the middle.
Suarez immediately pulled the space and pulled to the side to give Reus plenty of space. Royce was fast, his movements were quite fluid, and after cutting inside, his vision suddenly opened up.
The running positions of several teammates are very intimate! Leave him plenty of space. Drogba pointed David Silva to cut near the baseline, almost parallel to the defender, and as soon as he passed the ball, he could attack immediately.
Drogba leaned into the box himself, squeezing the space between Campagnaro and Cannavaro, making it difficult for them to lift up, and on the other side, Suarez was harassing.
Reus had too many options, not only to pass forward, but also to give back, and Kroos was there for him, ready to answer.
"See? Drogba's position. There are also a few teammates in the position, and Royce has at least 4 options at the same time, and this kind of offense is the best offense. Zidane hurriedly pointed out to Lewandowski.
Lewandowski thought so, he always thought that the striker only needed to score, but after looking at Drogba's choice, he knew that the striker should not only score, but also be a bridgehead, and even become the initiation point of the attack.
Royce was young and more adventurous. He decided to pass the ball forward to do the best damage. Immediately picked up a pass, the ball fell to Drogba's head, Drogba did not panic, and the header was back.
Rubbing back, the ball fell to Suarez's feet, and Maggio didn't have time to react, a little panicked.
Suarez reacted quickly, touched the ball without stopping it, and fired straight at goal, the ball drilled past De Sanctis and into the back of the net to open the scoring for West Ham.
At 1:0, Suarez scored and scored West Ham's first goal in the Champions League group stage of the season.
"Suarez's value should have risen, right?" Jiangshan is in a good mood.
In the previous "Kicker" magazine, the value of several players such as West Ham Suarez, Bale and Lewandowski has risen to more than 40 million euros, but the German magazine, the player has squeezed out a lot of water.
If a deal is really going to be made, without £60 million, Woodward is not even interested in opening talks. This season, if West Ham can reach the last four in the Champions League, no, no, they only need to reach the quarterfinals, and the value of the player can be hyped up again.
West Ham still have £300 million in loans, how can they build a new stadium before they pay it off? Jiangshan bought so many players, and he wanted to sell them early.
Bale and Suarez, who are now hyped in the media, will surely skyrocket in value as long as West Ham win a few more titles this season.
"It's hard Royce, he doesn't have the heart to leave, I'll keep him for a few more years, the other valuable ones are really treasures!" Jiang Shanle laughed.
The team scored again, with Didier Drogba passing the ball again to Reus on the wing, who had his shot saved, before David Silva doubled the lead with a follow-up shot into the net.
At 2:0, the first half was over, and West Ham had already taken a two-goal lead.
In the first half, which was relatively smooth, the back line was a bit chaotic but not conceding the ball, and the players up front got into the groove faster and were already in control of the pace of the game.
Drogba's two chances to shoot were given to the opponent, and sure enough, there is an old family and a treasure.
In the second half, Jiang Shan made substitutions and adjustments early, and the two veterans Ballack and Drogba completed their historical mission and were replaced by Modric and Lewandowski.
