Football coach

Participating in the reception was only a brief relaxation, which added some fun to Chen Ping's boring life.But what Chen Ping likes more is that Yu Wei will stay in London for about half a month.

For Chen Ping, it is always good to have a woman by his side.

Especially at this moment.

Chen Ping is about to usher in the busiest and most important Christmas schedule in the Premier League.The Premier League is the only league in European football that arranges so many games at Christmas.Other leagues give players a holiday for Christmas, allowing players to enjoy Christmas.

But the Premier League is different.The Premier League has to arrange a lot of games during Christmas, and the schedule is very dense.

There are many reasons.

One of the reasons is that watching games at Christmas is a tradition here in England.It is said that every Christmas, two villages or two alleys in England will organize people to play football to spend Christmas.Of course, this is just a saying.So the British like to play football and watch football games at Christmas.

In fact, compared to this so-called traditional reason, it is more because the Premier League is the most commercialized league.

Their thinking is different from other league organizers.The idea of ​​the Premier League is that Christmas is a common holiday for everyone, and it is necessary to present the best football to fans.Let the fans enjoy the best game on Christmas.If it sounds ugly, it is because the fans rest more during Christmas, so the attendance rate of the stadium is high, and the ticket price will also rise accordingly.In other words, playing games on Christmas can make money.

In addition to this, there is another reason that there are too many games in the Premier League.Premier League teams have one more cup than teams in other leagues, so they have to play more games a year.Therefore, we must hurry up and arrange the schedule. As a result, the schedule of Premier League games is more intensive.

These reasons have created the Premier League Christmas schedule.

West Ham's Christmas schedule is four games over eight days.

On December 2004, 12, in the No.26 round of the Premier League, West Ham played Manchester City away. On December 19, the No. 12 round of the Premier League, West Ham played Liverpool at home. On January 28st, in the No.20 round of the Premier League, West Ham played Bolton away. On January 1th, the No.1 second round of the Premier League, West Ham played Newcastle at home.

A game of this intensity is a big test for all Premier League teams.

而且1月份的比赛还有很多。1月8日，西汉姆还要打足总杯第三轮的比赛。1月12日是联赛杯半决赛第一场比赛，1月15日是英超No.20三轮比赛。

接着1月22日是英超No.20四轮比赛，1月26日是联赛杯半决赛第二场比赛，1月29日是足总杯第四轮比赛。也就是说西汉姆不仅要打密集的圣诞节赛程，而且在一月份还要打八场比赛。

With such a schedule, Chen Ping did not dare to be careless.

The Christmas fixtures are West Ham's final test.If the previous games against Arsenal and Manchester United were the first important test on West Ham's championship road, then the Christmas schedule is definitely the last test.

As long as the Christmas schedule passes smoothly, there will be no problem with the Premier League champions this season.As long as West Ham pass the Christmas schedule, the Premier League champions are already in their hands.Because West Ham has too much lead now, and the Christmas schedule is ready, the Premier League champions will not be able to escape.As long as it is not a big crash like ** losing streak, nothing will happen.

In the history of the Premier League, many powerful teams have always been far ahead in points.However, because of the failure of the Christmas schedule, the previous efforts were in vain not once or twice.Therefore, the Christmas schedule is often a difficult time for a championship team to overcome.

At such a tense moment, having Yu Wei by his side relieved some of Chen Ping's pressure.

Although the Christmas schedule is the final test, overall, Chen Ping is still very confident.Because Chen Ping has advantages that other women don't have.

On December 2004, 12, in the No.26 round of the Premier League, West Ham challenged Manchester City away.The head coach of Manchester City is Kevin Keegan, who was No.19 in European football for several years as a player and a superstar player who has won the European Golden Globe Award.

After switching to the head coach, it was smooth sailing.It's a pity that during the 9596 season, something so classic happened in the Premier League that it is still talked about.

That is Newcastle, which is far ahead of Manchester United in points, was finally reversed by Manchester United and lost the Premier League title. The 9596 season has also become a very famous reversal season in the Premier League, written into the history of the Premier League.Ferguson was the big winner in this story, revered by all.Kevin Keegan was a loser, mocked by everyone.

At that time, the Manchester United coach Ferguson, who was behind in points, kept putting pressure on Kevin Keegan in front of the media and kept playing psychological warfare.The result is that Kevin Keegan was influenced by Ferguson and became more and more impatient, so that the media said that Ferguson

Sen took control of Kevin Keegan's brain.At that time, Newcastle once led Manchester United by 12 points, and everyone believed that Newcastle was the Premier League champion.But Kevin Keegan was almost driven crazy by Ferguson, speaking incoherently in front of the media.The result was that Newcastle kept making mistakes and gave Manchester United too many opportunities. In the end, Manchester United overtook Newcastle and won the Premier League championship that season.

This is the most classic scene of Ferguson's psychological warfare.After that, Ferguson became more and more famous, while Kevin Keegan took the completely opposite path.Originally, Kevin Keegan was well-known in European football as one of the best players ever.And just coaching has already caused a sensation in England.

In 1992, Kevin Keegan came out and coached Newcastle, who was still in the Second Division (now the British Championship) for the first time, and helped Newcastle avoid relegation after taking over halfway.He led Newcastle to upgrade in the second season, and then led Newcastle to become a strong Premier League team.

Like West Ham this season, it is a big dark horse.

In the 9394 season, when Newcastle was promoted to the first year, they won No.3 in the Premier League as a newly promoted horse.This kind of performance made Kevin Keegan's reputation soar, and Kevin Keegan also became a rising young marshal at that time.Everyone is admiring Kevin Keegan. In the 9495 season, Newcastle hit the first place in the Premier League several times, but they failed to win the championship in the end, but it was already a sensation in English football.

This is Kevin Keegan.

Originally, according to Kevin Keegan's development model, he should have become a famous coach in England, and then a famous coach in world football.But the failure of the 9596 season made Kevin Keegan the laughing stock of many people.Kevin Keegan, who was still at the age of a young coach at the time, obviously could not accept such a failure, so his subsequent performance plummeted.

After leaving Newcastle, I went to several colleges, but the results were not very good.Because every time everyone talks about Kevin Keegan, it's not about his brilliant player years, nor his outstanding performance in the early days of coaching.Instead, it was all about how he was teased by Ferguson and lost the championship in the end.This had too much of an impact on Kevin Keegan.

Kevin Keegan was Manchester City's head coach last season, leading Manchester City to promotion to the Premier League.However, after arriving in the Premier League, Manchester City's performance last season was disappointing.Kevin Keegan has not been able to pull off the magic trick that made Newcastle the dark horse of a decade ago.Manchester City had a very difficult relegation last season.

Manchester City has not signed much this season, and their strength has not increased much.

However, although Kevin Keegan is always ridiculed, he can be regarded as a capable coach on the whole.This season, Manchester City is currently No. 11 in the Premier League without any signings.Kevin Keegan is still doing pretty well.

But that's all.

Although Kevin Keegan was a very good player in his player era, he was once No.1 in European football, and getting the championship is all the honors.It's a pity that after becoming the head coach, his psychological quality is not as strong as when he was a player.First, he was driven crazy by Ferguson and lost a 12-point lead.Later, because of this failure, he was constantly ridiculed by the media, which seriously hit his self-confidence.Let Kevin Keegan change from a possible England coach to now only coaching a relegation team.

This time they encountered West Ham, a team that was in full condition, Manchester City led by Kevin Keegan failed to withstand West Ham United.Chen Ping didn't want to fall behind in the first game of the Christmas schedule, so although he had to play Liverpool two days later, he still played with all his main players.

There is no suspense.

West Ham got off to a good start to the Christmas schedule with a [-]-[-] win away at Manchester City.

During the game, Lambert went crazy. He scored two goals again in this game, bringing his Premier League goals this season to 23, creating a Premier League half-time scoring record.Lambert is the player who has scored the most goals at the end of half a game since the establishment of the Premier League.Many media are expecting Lambert to break the Premier League season scoring record, and many people even think that this is no longer a problem for Lambert.

Similarly, West Ham also created a lot of records.

Because West Ham created a half-time scoring record of 54 points, which is 46 points more than the 8 points Manchester United created last season.And there is still a record waiting for West Ham and Chen Ping, that is, West Ham has won [-] consecutive victories in the Premier League.

This is a Premier League record.

It was created by Arsenal in the 0102 season, and now West Ham has tied this record.Therefore, many people are looking forward to whether West Ham can create a new winning streak.So many people pay attention to the match between West Ham and Liverpool at home.

Before the game, Chen Ping was relatively low-key.

Facing media inquiries, he said calmly: "I don't care if I can break the record, all I care about is the outcome of the game."
