Star Coach

The Champions League has reached the semi-finals, the FA Cup has reached the semi-finals, and the League Cup has won the championship. In any case, in the eyes of the outside world, West Ham's season is very successful, and they are still ranked second in the league, 6 points behind Manchester United, and there are still 6 rounds of games.

Because the game that just ended, West Ham won a new victory with a score of 2:1, and Manchester United did not widen the points gap. Otherwise, there are only six rounds left in the league, and the gap is too big and there is no way to make up.

It is very difficult now. It is too difficult to expect Manchester United to lose two games in the last six rounds and West Ham to not lose a single game.

Jiangshan is very dissatisfied with such a result. The Champions League semi-finals are not his goal. The biggest goal this year is to win the league. But now, Ferguson has no intention of giving Jiangshan a chance.

However, it is undeniable that West Ham players still lack experience in the Champions League. After the Champions League games, they often return to the league to lose points, resulting in the backwardness of the standings.

"The league is over, isn't it?" Jiang Shan smiled at the reporter, his smile was a little bitter, "In the history of the Premier League, no team has ever reversed and won the championship after falling behind by 6 points in the last 6 rounds. Not a single team."

Yes, Manchester United is the dominant team in the Premier League, and has reversed and won the championship many times. In the 1997-98 season and the 2002-03 season, they were once 12 points and 14 points behind Arsenal, but they caught up to the end of the season after the Christmas schedule, and finally surpassed Arsenal by 1 point and 5 points, and reversed and won the championship.

In the 1995-96 season, Manchester United and Newcastle competed for the championship, and they were once 12 points behind, but finally reversed and won the championship with a 4-point advantage.

Unfortunately, in these reversal seasons, Manchester United made efforts after the Christmas schedule and caught up, which is completely different from the current situation. In the past, the schedule was halfway through, and now there are only six rounds left in the league. Manchester United has a 6-point gap. With their rich experience, they will definitely be able to keep the gap to the end.

Therefore, Jiang Shan was certain in front of the media that this season's Premier League had been declared over in advance, Manchester United won the league championship, and West Ham United once again became the second place.

"West Ham United will focus all its attention on the Champions League and FA Cup next. In the Champions League, we set a historical record and reached the Champions League semi-finals. This is a great achievement for the team."

"Yes, we will definitely not be satisfied. It is a good opportunity to test our strength to compete with Barcelona. We will do our best in both rounds of the game."

"And in the FA Cup, we will strive to defend the title. Last season, we were the FA Cup champions. This season, we still hope to win the championship. This is our pursuit."

Jiang Shan talked freely, and many reporters believed it.

After the report came out, the media hyped up Manchester United's winning of the league championship. There was no suspense. Ferguson was very nervous, "We haven't won the championship yet, West Ham and Arsenal still have a chance, we will fight to the last minute until we win the championship trophy."

The Champions League semi-finals are really the game that Jiangshan is most concerned about at present. The first round is at home, and they must win. Otherwise, when they go to Barcelona's away game, they will have a starting point of 0:1 and it will be difficult to win the opponent.

Guardiola is waiting to win the Champions League again and tie Jiangshan's number of championships. This year is his best chance. Moreover, as long as he wins the Champions League this year, Guardiola will become the head coach of the defending Champions League like Jiangshan.

"I think Guardiola will not continue to coach Barcelona. He will definitely leave Barcelona after the season. This is my intuition. He can no longer feel the challenge. Moreover, his relationship with the top management is also the reason why he chose to leave." Jiangshan made another move, directly hitting his heart.

At the critical moment, whoever can gain the initiative can win the series. Psychological warfare? He hasn't used it for a long time, there is no need. But this season, especially at the most critical moment, Jiangshan used the tricks that made him famous in the Champions League and the league.

Guardiola was a little confused when he heard the reporter's question. He nodded, "To be honest, I really plan to leave Barcelona after the season. This is my personal decision and has nothing to do with others. I just want to take a break. I am too tired as the head coach."

"I need to rest and adjust my mentality. As long as there is a suitable team and the right opportunity, I will continue to coach."

Out of instinctive response, Guardiola actually agreed with Jiangshan's view. This is explosive news.

Guardiola, the head coach who has achieved unprecedented success in Barcelona, ​​actually plans to leave Barcelona? He is a five-time champion. He has won the La Liga championship and grabbed two Champions League titles. He is still coaching the top giant Barcelona. What else is he dissatisfied with?

The most excited must be the media. They have speculated on the reasons why Guardiola wants to leave Barcelona.

"Being too tired is just an excuse. The contradiction between Guardiola and Barcelona's top management is exposed."

"Power is falling into someone else's hands? Guardiola wants to leave?"

"Is Messi the reason why Guardiola left Barcelona? It is said on the Internet that Messi is the biggest ball bully in Barcelona."

All kinds of speculations, all kinds of exciting news, all kinds of gossip, all kinds of noise, everyone is looking forward to the correct answer. Even after Barcelona arrived in England, it was still watched by many media, they wanted to know the answer.

Guardiola regretted it a little, "Why should I respond? I was fooled by Jiangshan." After the training, he quickly called a meeting with the players, "I am leaving the team, and it has nothing to do with any of you."

I quickly clarified it with the players, but the more I talked about it, the weirder it got! The media didn't know where they got the news, especially the Sun. They excitedly exposed the situation in the Barcelona locker room.

"It must be because of the players, otherwise why would Guardiola have to explain?"

Uh...that sounds reasonable.

Barcelona players were also muttering, "When have I ever offended Guardiola? No way?"

Looking back at West Ham, everything is calm here and all the focus is on Barcelona, ​​which is enviable.

Jiangshan is quite satisfied with the players' condition. During this period, he activated a special mechanism to evaluate the players' physical condition after every game and every training to minimize player injuries. This is a waste of money.

"This season, if we are successful, West Ham will be the latest giant team in the Premier League, more successful than Manchester City. They have not won a Champions League spot, and they have not won any championships."

Jiang Shan discussed with Woodward, "So, even if we spend an extra 300 pounds in these two months, we have to bear it. If we want to succeed, we must be a big success this year."

"I can't wait. Will we defeat Barcelona and win the Premier League championship?" Woodward smiled broadly. As long as he wins the Champions League and Premier League championship, his courage to ask for sponsorship fees will be even higher.

After these two months of hard work, he was able to create nearly 100 million more income. The naming rights of the Upton Park stadium, plus the shirt contract and chest sponsorship, are a huge amount of income.

"It's very, very difficult, but we must have a 120-point spirit and not leave any regrets."
