Star Coach

After Hodgson's statement, Jiangshan didn't even bother to respond to his "declaration."

Jiangshan has gone through countless league trainings and no longer bothers to argue with weaklings. Now his status is different and he needs to maintain his master's demeanor. If at the critical moment of the league championship, he would not mind having a verbal spat with Ferguson to compete for the league championship.

But facing a team ranked behind him, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm.

"I will not respond to Mr. Hodgson's remarks until Liverpool surpasses us in the rankings." Jiang Shan dropped a sentence.

Then during the game, bang bang bang, slapped Hodgson directly.

In the 15th minute, Suarez scored, bypassing Agger and Carragher and scoring an insult. The two aging central defenders could no longer stop the new generation players.

Suarez's characteristics are very good in the Premier League. Against tall and strong opponents, his dribbling and movement are very troublesome.

In the 18th minute, Lewandowski scored a goal, receiving a pass from Royce and finishing it cleanly in one fell swoop. After half a season of adjustments, Lewandowski's shooting skills have improved to a higher level and he has been promoted to a top scorer.

West Ham's combination of one high and one fast in the frontcourt is the envy of countless teams, and Liverpool is one of them. They are targeting Sturridge and Benteke for recruitment. If they take the two into their arms, it will also be a success A combination of high speed and high speed will definitely kill everyone in the Premier League.

Jiangshan is very supportive of their recruitment strategy, and I believe they will waste a lot of money and destroy the Great Wall.

In the 21st minute, West Ham scored again. Royce received a long pass from Kroos and shot directly without stopping the ball. Liverpool goalkeeper Reina touched the ball, but still could not stop the ball from entering the net.

In just ten minutes, the team lost three goals. Reina kept picking up the ball from the net and almost collapsed. "What mistake did I make? Everyone is targeting me?"

When the game was about to end, Gerrard was kneeling on the ground, his whole body weak. The fans looked distressed, and the Liverpool fans even sang "You'll Never Walk Alone." Well, Liverpool’s spirit is not dead, and Phoenix will one day reach nirvana.

but not now.

Jiangshan has steadily maintained its top three position in the league, only 4 points behind Manchester United, and still has a chance to compete for the championship. Of course, if West Ham focuses on the league, they will inevitably give up the competition for the Europa League.

The remaining opponents in the Europa League have to fly long distances. There are only a few Russian teams, which have basically passed the top 16. The opponents in the quarterfinals are also Russian teams, so Jiangshan still holds back his heart. .

"This season, the highest goal is to win the Europa League and we cannot relax." Jiangshan continued to announce after the game that their focus is on the Europa League, not the league.

Of course he also wants to win the league championship, but he is unable to take other things into consideration and has to put it aside temporarily, otherwise he will give up the Europa League and FA Cup and only maintain the league. They definitely have hope of winning the championship.

Most importantly, he will stay at West Ham for a long time, and there will be plenty of time to win the league title. Next season, he will focus on league competition, and then it will be time to compete with the established teams for the championship.

Of course, others will believe Jiangshan's statement that it focuses on the Europa League, but Manchester United and Arsenal, ranked first and second, will not believe it. Their two old coaches will only think that Jiangshan is carrying out psychological warfare.

"Our most important goal is the league, and the league is the foundation of Manchester United." Ferguson warned the players on the team not to be deceived. Wenger's team still has the hope of competing for the title on both fronts. Although they were eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 and the FA Cup, they are currently second in the league and have reached the final of the League Cup. They will have to compete with West Ham in the next game. Championship trophy.

"Jiangshan is using psychological tactics against us, but I will not be fooled. He definitely, no, absolutely wants to win the league championship." Wenger talked about Jiangshan gently, "I know his ambition very well. We have played against each other. Many times, we are determined to win the League Cup.”

"Of course, even if we win the League Cup, it is not as good as if we win second place in the league. This year we have lost the hope of winning the Champions League and FA Cup. We are eager to break through from the league. The League Cup? Let it be our warm-up. Let’s race!”

Wenger has the wisdom in his hands. Although he only has a small bonus of 100,000 pounds, he still hopes to win the championship and end his embarrassing situation of five years without a championship.

Jiang Shan was non-committal. Whatever Wenger said, it was all the manager's business. All he had to do was prepare carefully for the game.

De Gea is still the main goalkeeper in the cup. Facing Arsenal, he can feel more at ease. Arsenal's forward line is not like ordinary Premier League teams and will not fight against him crazily.

On the back line, Bell continues to start, and the left corridor between him and Royce has now become one of the team's standard features in the cup. Of course, it is also Jiangshan’s philosophy that Baines can rest more.

On the center back line, Cahill and Hummels started together, the right back was Glen Johnson, the midfield combination was the young Kroos and Modric, on the right David Silva, and on the forward line, Lewandowski and Suarez continue to start.

Most young players are loaned out, otherwise Jiangshan would not mind letting young people play in the League Cup, and the income would be really poor.

Arsenal is also sending its main players. Wenger wants the championship, not just for words.

At the goalkeeper position, the young Fabianski started, and at the back, Diaby, Koscielny, Vermaelen and Sagna started, a good defense combination.

The midfield trio, Fabregas, Ramsey and Rosicky, is also a trio in the frontcourt, with Van Persie in the middle, Nasri and Walcott on both sides. Walcott started as he wished, and the opportunity to compete with Bale has come.

Wenger almost signed Bale that year, but Southampton asked for a price of 5 million pounds, so he gave up reluctantly, and Walcott only needed about 3 million, so there was a lot of money left.

At the beginning of the final, both sides were more cautious, but Arsenal's players were obviously more nervous. They did not have enough final experience, which was particularly disadvantageous.

In the West Ham team, Hummels, Modric, David Silva, and Reus all have enough experience in winning the championship and can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the team on the field.

After the opening, the ball was controlled more by these people, allowing them to drive the rhythm and integrate other teammates. Although the average age of West Ham is not high, it is actually a "combination of old and young" lineup.

Jiangshan's tactical arrangement attaches great importance to experience and guidance. Young people are under great pressure when they step onto the stage of the final for the first time, and their movements are easily deformed. At this time, they need the guidance of veterans.

Reus is already a "veteran". He pointed his finger and Bale made a timely forward move, and the cooperation came out. Unfortunately, Lewandowski had few chances to win the championship. At this time, he was weak and failed to hit the target.

Arsenal was lucky. Fabregas saw the loopholes in West Ham's defense line cleverly. The position of the upper position was too high. A flirtatious long pass went directly through the midfield and fell to Walcott.

What Walcott had to do was to eat Cahill alive with speed. Cahill turned around suddenly and slipped directly. Van Persie received Walcott's pass and scored in one fell swoop. De Gea barely touched the ball and could not stop the ball from entering the net.

An unexpected goal, 1:0, Arsenal led.
