Star Coach

Chapter 495: Battle with Manchester United

After all, West Ham lost two major combat forces, Bale and Suarez, in the summer, while Manchester United, the title rival last season, added a strong reinforcement, Van Persie. As a result, Manchester United's strength and status are more optimistic.

"Manchester United added Van Persie, and West Ham made 200 million, but the field is not about making money. West Ham will definitely lose the game."

"Did you see it? Ferguson was reversed by Jiangshan in the last game last season. Today, his face is not very good. They will definitely try their best."

"Speaking of Jiangshan's psychological warfare last season, it is still very exciting when I think about it now! Ferguson has been operating in the Premier League for many years, but he has also failed."

"Only Jiangshan can do this. If it were someone else, he might not be able to withstand the pressure in the last game. West Ham is so lucky to have such a good head coach."

Jiangshan looked calm, but he was not calm in his heart. Even if it was just a charity game, he wanted to win, and he wanted to win very much. Jiangshan hopes to create an unprecedented seven-crown feat, which is all the championships a coach can win in a natural year.

Jiangshan's lineup today is equally strong. Without Bale and Suarez, they still have other players to take over.

Goalkeeper De Gea, the Premier League Golden Glove last season, is more stable than Manchester United's Lloris.

On the defensive line, the combination of Baines, Cahill, Hummels and Glen Johnson, the main combination last season, veteran Upson and new aid Varane are on the bench.

The Community Shield is just a warm-up match, and the participating teams do not receive bonuses. All ticket revenue is donated to charity organizations, also known as the Charity Shield. Therefore, the rules are not like ordinary games. There are only 3 substitutions in a game. In this game, each team can replace 6 people.

Of course, few teams replace so many people. Too many substitutions on the field will greatly affect the performance of the tactical system. Evenly exerting effort will not achieve the effect of training.

Jiangshan arranged a combination of Reus, Kroos, Modric and David Silva in the midfield.

On the forward line, Lewandowski and Harry Kane partnered, two center forwards with great skills and shooting skills.

West Ham United doesn't have many forwards, but Royce and others can replace the forward position. Moreover, Jiangshan's technical and tactical focus this season is not on the forward line. He even often tries a no-striker formation.

On the Manchester United side, the main goalkeeper Lloris started, Evra, Evans and Ferdinand were on the back line, and Phil Jones started on the right back position.

Nani was on the left in the midfield, Valencia was on the right, and Cleverley and Carrick were partners in the middle. In recent years, Carrick has played an increasingly important role in Manchester United, shouldering both defense and offense. Fletcher, his former thug, is still in bed and can't get up!

Tom Cleverley, who was promoted from the youth training, has performed well in recent years. He is a qualified substitute player, and occasionally has shining points. He is called smart by fans.

On the bench, there are also Brazilian golden boy Anderson and young Giggs. Young Giggs decided to play for another year and renewed his contract with Manchester United at the end of last season. Anderson just finished his vacation and his body is a little fat, so Ferguson didn't let him play.

Manchester United's midfield has always been a difficult problem, especially after Scholes retired. The midfield seems to have a lot of people, but few can be used. Powell, who was bought in the summer, looks more like a mascot and has little strength.

On the forward line, the same double forward configuration as West Ham, new aid Van Persie and Rooney partnered in the starting lineup. On the bench, they also have substitute striker Hernandez.

Jiangshan stared at Manchester United's hanging lineup and sighed in his heart, "Only Ferguson can make such a formation into a Premier League champion team. Looking at their players, it's really bad."

But Ferguson was very strange. He adjusted this group of average players together, and then they could burst out with strong fighting power. He had completely understood Manchester United's players, and he knew clearly what everyone could do.

In addition to the spirit he instilled in Manchester United players, they can still walk sideways in the Premier League. If Ferguson retires, the strength of this group of players will be against the sky to qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester City's lineup is much better than Manchester United's, but what's even more strange is that they can't even qualify for the Champions League. Alas... When you meet Jiangshan, there's really nothing you can do.

Manchester United took the lead in attacking. Carrick made a long pass. Rooney received the ball and carried it forward with his sturdy body. He took a few steps but couldn't break through Kroos' defense. He passed the ball back to Valencia who was lagging behind.

Valencia rushed forward, facing Baines, went down the bottom and made a cross. Van Persie's toes seemed to be sticky. With Hummels' care, he was able to catch the ball.

He made room and shot. The position was not good and the ball was quite off.

Manchester United launched a strong offensive wave at the beginning. Ferguson was quite satisfied with the players' state. As long as he stole one, he would retreat across the board and use a wretched counterattack tactic to kill West Ham.

West Ham's attack was not fast. They slowly crossed the half court and then controlled the ball. The rhythm of the game was also firmly in their hands.

Manchester United's defense was squeezed so hard that it was difficult to grab the ball.

Modric had strong control and was able to handle Manchester United's midfield with ease. With a light flick, the ball passed over Cleverley's head and landed at David Silva's feet.

Evra rushed up to grab the ball, but couldn't steal it, so he quickly retreated. Silva took the ball and gradually approached the penalty area. Kane pulled out and took Evans away.

Silva quickly passed the ball to the middle, where Lewandowski was.

Lewandowski faced Ferdinand, moved his feet, flashed out of the shooting space, and the ball was exerted. Lloris performed well and saved the ball.

Corner kick.

Ten minutes into the game, neither side found a good opportunity. Manchester United relied on the ability to advance on both sides to play some counterattacks, but the ball was more controlled by West Ham, and they continued to crush Manchester United's defense.

Royce rushed forward with the ball, and Phil Jones was shaken and was passed by Royce cleanly. There was no choice but to continue chasing back. Jones was so fierce that he actually forced Royce to the baseline.

Jones almost threw his body out and barely destroyed the ball at Royce's feet, corner kick.

"This guy, he really doesn't give up!" Royce stood up and formed a human wall.

Baines served the ball, Kane received the ball while cruising, and passed the ball to Lewandowski in the air.

Lewandowski unloaded the ball from his chest, and before the ball hit the ground, he suddenly volleyed it, a beautiful shot.

The ball went into the net, and in the 17th minute, West Ham successfully scored, leading Manchester United 1:0.

Ferguson didn't say anything at all, he knew that it would be difficult for this Manchester United to beat a team like West Ham. Last season, West Ham was affected by the Champions League, and they could remain unbeaten in the league with Manchester United, one win and one draw, not to mention West Ham, which was re-integrated.

"West Ham's players are really enviable!" Ferguson looked at Jiang Shan, who was calm.
