Star Coach

(I’m too sick to be energetic this week, and I work overtime continuously, so I don’t have time at all. I’ll just do one chapter today, sorry. It will be finished next week, and a new book will be released at the same time. Thank you...)

With Lewandowski's unpredictable goal, West Ham once again surpassed Atletico Madrid, 2:1. With half an hour left in the game, West Ham had a great chance of winning.

The European Super Cup, even if it is just a warm-up match trophy, is still one of Jiangshan's goals. The seven annual crowns cannot be missing.

Simeone gritted his teeth, "Today is the best opportunity. I will not admit defeat. Their two wings obviously have defensive weaknesses, and I took advantage of it."

West Ham's lineup configuration on the field is quite thin in wing defense, which is an obvious weakness. So Simeone made a prompt decision, replaced the wide player Rodriguez, and attacked from the sideline.

Jiang Shan looked at Simeone, a little disappointed, "He has matured a lot, but in order to defeat me, he was a little irrational. Their advantage lies in the two power forwards, and they sent Diego Costa to attack hard. The effect is definitely better.”

Soon, West Ham made substitutions. Cross went off to take a rest, and he was replaced by Harry Kane, using a two-forward tactic with two big centers.

"Hey, Simeone, let me show you the correct tactical arrangement. You didn't put Diego Costa on the court. He is the right person to change the team."

Simone was a little stunned. Jiang Shan had seen through his arrangement, so he didn't take it seriously. Are you going to teach me a lesson? This was on the field. Do you think it was a post-match discussion?

After Harry Kane came on the field, he cooperated very well with Lewandowski, and he was very active in moving the ball. Soon, he got a chance, and Modric's long pass was passed to Royce's feet.

Royce cut inside and suddenly passed the ball through. Under Lewandowski's cover, Harry Kane found an opportunity and fired a powerful shot.

Almost knocking on the door guarded by Courtois, Courtois fought hard to save the ball and blocked the ball from the sideline. He broke out in a cold sweat and cursed at the mouth. The pressure was too much.

The team is already lagging behind, and the offensive end is still unable to open up the situation. The further back it goes, the greater the pressure on the defense will be.

Simeone looked at Jiangshan's tactical arrangements and suddenly realized, "The impact of the two centers is really powerful. If I had arranged for Costa to play earlier, maybe we could have evened the score."

It was too late, Atletico lost the ball again.

Baines' corner kick came out, a tactical corner kick, and it was Royce's pass that went to Harry Kane. Harry Kane couldn't hold Miranda and passed the ball to David Silva.

Silva made a beautiful shot and the ball penetrated into the net from the upper left corner. No matter how powerful Courtois was, he was beyond his reach. He knelt on the ground helplessly and almost cried, "What happened today? The defense is a bit weak." No hardness at all?”

"Three goals, I swear, I will not let them score again, absolutely not. Because I want to be the most powerful goalkeeper. I am Courtois, the light of Belgium."

Courtois took the ball out again with a calm expression, "Brothers, the game is not over yet, hurry up."

"Leave it to me later and I will never lose the ball again."

What a reassuring guy! Miranda and Godin were thinking at the same time. A main player of the Brazilian national team and a main player of the Uruguay national team looked at each other and said, "We can't be laughed at by the boys."

Suddenly, Atletico Madrid's combat effectiveness seems to have increased a lot. Their fighting intensity reached a new level, setting off a wave of counterattack.

Kanter is under a lot of pressure, and Modric's defensive ability is good, but not top-notch. It is difficult to deal with the explosive Atletico Madrid players in the small universe.

Simeone corrected his mistake immediately. Costa came on and replaced Adrian. What wing should he play? No need, just go straight in. Don’t think too much about what to do. The battering ram in the middle is the best to use.

Jiang Shan nodded with satisfaction. At least, Simeone will not not arrange for Costa to play because of face issues.

But it was useless, the timing was still too late. Since Jiangshan dared to confess to Simeone, he would not let Simeone's substitution have any effect.

Therefore, Jiangshan also made substitutions. Royce, who performed well in this game, came off the field and was replaced by Mahrez. Mahrez appeared in the right wing position and tore apart Atletico Madrid's defense.

Silva's position retreated and reappeared in the midfielder position. He formed a three-midfield combination with Kanter and Modric, with both offense and defense, and strong control.

Seeing Jiangshan's change of tactics, Simeone was convinced that the game was over. He had been following Jiangshan for several years and knew Jiangshan's strategy well. He had a history of being two goals ahead in the game and had not yet reversed it.

Simeone dare not say that he can make history. Even Real Madrid's lineup cannot reverse West Ham.

At the last minute, Baines also scored the icing on the cake.

West Ham 4:1 Atletico Madrid.

After the referee blew the whistle, Simeone still took the initiative to hug Jiang Shan, "Will I still have a chance? I have worked hard for several years, but I didn't expect that my reaction on the spot was still a little worse than yours."

"Yes, maybe, we will meet in the Champions League this season, or in the Champions League final, what do you think?"

"I hope so, I will never lose again. I hate the feeling of losing." Simeone quickly recovered from the feeling of losing. He was facing a country, and losing was normal.

No matter how small an ant is, it is still meat.

Jiangshan won the European Super Cup in front of tens of thousands of fans, their sixth championship trophy this year.

West Ham fans have already instinctively celebrated. This season, they have been celebrating the championship. The team has been established for more than 100 years. Only this year is the happiest day.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jiangshan, for winning the sixth championship trophy this year. At the end of this year, you will still have the Club World Cup to compete for. If you successfully win the championship, West Ham will become an unprecedented seven-time champion. Please make a prediction first. ?”

"Of course, why not?" Jiang Shan was very emotional. "Our goal is to win seven championships every year. We will definitely try our best in the Club World Cup at the end of the year. This is the first initiative in the history of football. I hope I can Be the one who makes history.”

"You have been making history." The host was particularly friendly to Jiang Shan. He had coached in France before and his memory was so profound. He asked a few more questions, and the topic inevitably turned to the seven-time champion.

"In your home country, several teams from China are performing very well in the AFC Champions League. Which team do you think will win the AFC Champions League? Will they become West Ham's opponents?"

Jiang Shan smiled, "If I have a choice, I hope that Hengda will become our opponent. In this case, we can meet Drogba again."

After a simple celebration in France, Jiang Shan immediately led the team back to China. They have a lot of games this season. The league has started and the Champions League group stage is about to begin.

"No matter what, we must win the Club World Cup first." Jiang Shan squinted.
