Chapter 448 FA Cup Final

After winning the League Cup, the West Ham team seemed to be relieved. In the following period, the team's morale was strong and they continued to win.

Facing the Potters Stoke City, we avenged the humiliation 3:0. Who said we are afraid of the superior team? As long as the team's control is strong, even the basketball team can't beat us.

Facing Tottenham and Manchester United, West Ham also won. A strong winning streak, directly reaching the second position in the league, second only to Manchester United.

Manchester United performed equally well during this period. If they had not lost to West Ham, their points advantage would have been even greater. They are now 3 points behind West Ham, a gap of one game.

However, Manchester United did not have opponents at the top of the standings in the last few rounds of the league. Instead, West Ham had to face Chelsea, Manchester City and Bolton, the top eight teams in the standings. The league situation was not as good as Manchester United.

The Europa League successfully eliminated two Russian Super League teams, CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow, and advanced to the semi-finals, where they will face La Liga's Villarreal.

In the FA Cup, West Ham broke out, eliminated Southampton, reached the semi-finals, and will face Chelsea.

In the league, Ferguson showed his strong experience. After Manchester United lost to West Ham, they immediately adjusted their form and won another three consecutive victories. However, West Ham players were in a state of physical exhaustion due to the impact of the Europa League and FA Cup. .

They lost to Bolton in the league and were held back by Manchester United by 6 points. There are only a few rounds left in the league. It is already difficult for them to come back. There is no way. The lineup is slightly insufficient and the focus is on the Europa League competition. They cannot take care of both. Domestic competition.

Of course, Jiangshan is quite satisfied with the progress of the cup competition. The team's goals have basically been achieved. They have won the League Cup, reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and also reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. They all have hopes of winning the championship.

If West Ham win two cup titles this season, it will be a huge success. Even if they only won the League Cup, the fans were so excited that they couldn't sleep. They were already satisfied.

Anyway, as long as Jiang Shan is still the owner of the team, West Ham will be a strong contender for the championship. There is no doubt about this.

Jiangshan carefully adjusted the team's lineup and tried to ensure that every player was in good condition to cope with the final stage of the game.

Of course, unexpected injuries are inevitable. Suarez and Lewandowski were troubled by minor injuries respectively, but at the critical moment of the season, they all came back healthy.

In the FA Cup semi-finals, facing Chelsea, Hummels performed well and blocked Drogba, allowing Warcraft to perform less than 70% of his abilities. Chelsea could only swallow the fruit of failure in the end.

Warcraft has often been plagued by injuries this season and was in poor form on the field. The home fans began to boo him, which made him upset.

Warcraft hopes to become a hero at Stamford Bridge, but the fans don't buy it. When he was prosperous, the fans supported him and loved him. But as he got older, when his condition was not good, the home fans began to dislike him and wanted to kick him out. .

After the game, Warcraft approached Jiangshan and said, "Coach, I want to leave Chelsea. I'm so tired."

Jiang Shan embraced his loyal disciple and said with emotion, "After the season is over, I will ask Woodward to negotiate with Chelsea. My team will leave a place for you."

"Thank you, I love you forever!" Warcraft almost cried.

The country that once led him to the right football path once again extended an olive branch to Warcraft when he was most helpless and gave him the greatest care.

Ancelotti also wanted to leave the team. His assistant Wilkinson was suddenly fired, and the locker room lost control. The most critical thing is that he was kept in the dark when the team fired his assistant.

He asked the team to buy a new forward, but Abramovich bought Torres, who was gradually declining. Torres's playing habits were incompatible with Chelsea...

In the winter transfer window, Torres became the top bidder, and the investment of 50 million pounds was destined to become a joke. Liverpool spent 35 million of Chelsea's money to buy Benteke, hoping to copy West Ham's high-speed forward combination.

Haha...a combination of Benteke and Sturridge? How to compare with the combination of Suarez and Lewandowski?

Jiang Shan took the initiative to shake hands with Ancelotti.

Ancelotti forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, I hope you succeed at West Ham. I envy you. You are both the team owner and the team's head coach. At least you can buy and sell players according to your own wishes."

"I can only say, I wish you all the best in the future." Jiang Shan heard the sad meaning of the rabbit's death and the fox's sorrow. He also knew that Ancelotti would leave Chelsea soon.

If Chelsea wants to fire the coach, it is as easy as eating. Jiangshan can only wish him well. Ancelotti used to hold a grudge against Jiangshan, and several huge failures in his career were all caused by Jiangshan, but now, he respects Jiangshan very much.

In other words, Jiangshan's continuous success and Jiangshan's gradually expanding influence have made Ancelotti unable to hold a grudge.

After crossing the hurdle of Chelsea, the final opponent in the FA Cup is Manchester United, who is ranked first in the league.

The first and second place teams in the league will meet in the FA Cup final. Moreover, Manchester United's ambitions this season don't stop there. They are also going crazy in the Champions League. They have eliminated Schalke 04, entered the Champions League final, and are about to face Barcelona.

As long as they win the FA Cup, Manchester United may even hope to repeat the glory of the Triple Crown in 1999. Of course, Jiangshan knows that this is impossible. Manchester United is no match for Barcelona in this year's Champions League final.

West Ham is a bit like Manchester United. They are advancing in the league, European competition and FA Cup at the same time, and they all have the hope of winning the championship. West Ham also hopes to win the FA Cup again after 30 years. Moreover, they have won the League Cup and hope to win the domestic cup double championship.

It is still unknown who will win.

In the Europa League, West Ham defeated La Liga Villarreal with scores of 2:1 and 3:2 in the semi-finals and advanced to the final. In the more than 100-year history of West Ham, it is the first time to reach the Europa League final. Regardless of whether they can win the championship, Jiangshan has created history for West Ham.

Their opponent in the Europa League final is Braga Sports from the Portuguese Super League. Braga's road to promotion is quite legendary.

They eliminated Poznan in Poland, Lewandowski's home team, Liverpool in the Premier League, Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine and Benfica in the Portuguese Super League, and entered the Europa League final and met West Ham.

Of course, this is also the first time that Braga has reached the European final, while West Ham United has won the European Cup Winners' Cup.

This year's Europa League final will be held at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, on May 19, earlier than the FA Cup final.

In other words, the FA Cup final will be the final battle of West Ham United's season, and whether they can win the championship trophy will determine the success or failure of the season.
