Football coach

Chen Ping was very satisfied to enter the final.

Although the League Cup has the lowest gold content, it is still the champion.For Chen Ping now, winning the championship is victory.It's just that the opponent in the final is Chelsea, which is currently in excellent form. Chen Ping needs to think carefully about how to play against Chelsea.

But the League Cup final was on February 2005, 2.

There are still three Premier League games, two FA Cup games and two UEFA Cup games before the League Cup final.Fortunately, West Ham has been eliminated in the third round of the FA Cup and does not need to play in the FA Cup.So there are only five games for West Ham before the League Cup final.

Compared with West Ham, Chelsea is currently attacking on four lines, and they have not been eliminated in any cup.However, before the League Cup final, Chelsea only played one game in the Champions League knockout round.After the League Cup final, Chelsea will play the second game of the Champions League knockout round.

Therefore, in the next month, Chelsea will play one more game than West Ham, for a total of six games.Including the League Cup final, seven games will be played.Not only that, Chelsea's opponents are also stronger than West Ham, including the opponent in the Champions League knockout round is the current very strong Barcelona Dream II team.In fact, according to the original schedule, the No. 20 eight-round match between West Ham and Chelsea should also be in the middle.Just because there are too many games, there will be conflicts, especially in order to ensure the League Cup final, so the schedule will be adjusted.The No.20 eight rounds of the Premier League will be pushed to March.

Although Chelsea had to play so many games, Chen Ping did not dare to be careless.Because the current Chelsea is a truly balanced offensive and defensive team without many shortcomings.And the thickness of the lineup is the most powerful in the Premier League.

On January 1th and January 29th, the fourth round of the FA Cup began.

West Ham have no game, so they can rest completely.But Chelsea have games.Chelsea is now in a state of overwhelming state. It can be said that seeing the gods and killing the gods, seeing the Buddha and destroying the Buddha.They met Birmingham in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Easy to win.

Birmingham are currently ranked [-]th in the Premier League, not far from the relegation zone.How can Birmingham attach importance to the FA Cup at this time? Relegation is the most important thing for Birmingham.So Birmingham haven't even taken the FA Cup seriously before the lower leagues.Facing Chelsea, where is the opponent.The strength of Chelsea's substitute has completely surpassed Birmingham.

Chelsea moved into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable [-]-[-] win over Birmingham.Chen Ping is very happy that Chelsea entered the fifth round of the FA Cup.Because the more games Chelsea play, the more scattered their energy will be, and the less pressure there will be on West Ham in the league.

After finishing the fourth round of the FA Cup, on February 2005, 2, it was the No.2 fifth round of the Premier League.West Ham host Crystal Palace.Crystal Palace is currently ranked No.20 in the Premier League and is in the relegation zone.

Working hard to get out of the relegation zone.

But now West Ham is already very strong, whether it is in terms of strength or psychology, West Ham is already a standard strong team.Playing against a weak team like Crystal Palace, West Ham will not miss.Chen Ping will not miss.

With a score of four to one, they defeated Crystal Palace.

At this time, Arsenal continued to fall behind, losing to Manchester United 20-[-] at home.But Chelsea played very well and kept biting West Ham.Chelsea defeated Blackburn [-]-[-] in the fifth round of Premier League No. [-], completing an eight-game winning streak.

On February 2005, 2, the Premier League No.5 played six rounds.

West Ham challenge Norwich, the bottom team in the Premier League, away.Although the games are very intensive, it is relatively easy for Chen Ping to adjust the team because there are no other games.Although some core players may have to fight consecutively, the situation is still optimistic.In particular, the midfielder Carrick has played a lot of games this season, but he has not missed a game this season due to injuries.This is very important for West Ham.

After all, it is not only West Ham who has such a dense schedule, especially West Ham's opponent Norwich.Compared with the thickness of West Ham's lineup, Norwich has no lineup thickness.

At this time, a team like Norwich will have a choice.

The schedule is intensive, and there is a need to compete for points.At this time, teams like Norwich will also choose opponents.Fighting to the death with a strong team like West Ham is of no benefit to Norwich.After all, their lineup is limited in thickness, and they basically play games with a main lineup.

The game against West Ham was exhausting, and the future games will not be easy.

Therefore, it is also their strategy to retreat appropriately and focus on their relegation opponents.The more intensive the game is, the better the basic training effect of Chen Ping for West Ham players is, that is to say, the players have a great advantage in physical fitness.

West Ham defeated Norwich [-]-[-] away and continued their strong road.

Of course, Chelsea was not to be outdone, and defeated Manchester City 12-[-] at home.Since entering December, the good results of West Ham and Chelsea so far are surprising.

The two teams almost swept the Premier League.Whether facing a strong team or a weak team, the performance of the two teams is jaw-dropping.

On February 2005, 2, the Premier League No.12 played seven rounds.

West Ham hosts Premier League No. 19 Southampton.Starting from the No.20 fifth round of the Premier League, West Ham has encountered three teams in the Premier League relegation zone one after another.Crystal Palace, Norwich, Southampton, the three teams currently ranked in the bottom three of the Premier League.

Chen Ping did not show mercy at all, and West Ham did not doze off at all.

They defeated the teams in the relegation zone very strongly.During the game, Lambert showed off again and completed a hat-trick.The later the season, the more intensive the game, the greater the physical advantage of West Ham, and the better the performance of West Ham.This is the case in this game. Not to mention that Southampton is not as strong as West Ham, its technical and tactical ability is not as good as West Ham, and even its running ability is far inferior to West Ham.After the whole game, West Ham ran more than 14000 meters more than Southampton, which means that there is one more player on the field.

West Ham beat Southampton [-]-[-].

After the game, Lambert has already been worshiped by all the media.Since the end of the 27th round of the Premier League, Lambert has scored 32 Premier League goals for West Ham, with more than 30 league goals.Lambert has become the most efficient striker since the establishment of the Premier League.It surpassed Shearer, the Premier League marksman of the year, and Henry, the marksman after entering the 21st century.

more important

What's more, there are still about ten rounds left in the Premier League. According to Lambert's state, he can even score forty league goals.Once Lambert really scores [-] league goals, it will be the Premier League goal record at that time.More importantly, Lambert is a native England player.

Over the past few seasons, the top scorers in the Premier League have been dominated by foreign players.Especially the top shooters like Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy are overwhelming the local players.Even Irving, England's last world-class native striker, was suppressed by Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy, and he even left for Spain this season.After Owen left Liverpool, the local strikers who stayed in English football were far from world-class strikers.Originally, Manchester United's genius Wayne Rooney had the most high hopes in the entire English football world.Unexpectedly, Lambert, who no one would have thought of before the season, conquered the Premier League, and even kept breaking various scoring records.

What's more, Lambert just passed his 23rd birthday.In terms of age, Lambert is not old at all.

How could the English media let it go.

All kinds of compliments followed.Including what Chen Ping said before, the remarks that Lambert can win the Golden Globe are also constantly brought up by the media.Many media in England began to say that Lambert has a chance to win the Ballon d'Or.Once West Ham wins the Premier League championship, then this is a legendary story that will stir up European football.As the main striker of West Ham, Lambert deserves to win the Golden Globe Award.

But at this time, Chen Ping kept a low profile.

Because Chelsea is crazy at this time, there is no team that can stop Chelsea.Chelsea have played more games than West Ham, against stronger opponents, but it is still a winning streak.In the seven rounds of Premier League No.20, Chelsea defeated Everton, who was hot in the second half of the season, [-]-[-] away.

After the end of the Premier League No.20 seven rounds, West Ham started the UEFA Cup knockout journey.

On February 2005, 2, West Ham challenged the Austrian team Graz AK in an away game.Chen Ping took the main players on an expedition to Austria.This is the first time that Chen Ping has led the main players to play in the UEFA Cup this season.Even in the home game against Lazio, Chen Ping did not let all the main players play.But this time the expedition to Austria, it is to let all the main players play.

Because after this game, there is only one game until the League Cup final.That is the second game of the UEFA Cup knockout round.There was originally the fifth round of the FA Cup and the No. 20 eighth round of the Premier League.However, West Ham has been eliminated in the FA Cup, and the Premier League No. 20 match against Chelsea in the eighth round has been adjusted due to a conflict with the League Cup final.

In addition, there is only a two-day difference between the second game of the UEFA Cup knockout round and the League Cup final, and it is impossible for the main players to play for the League Cup final.The main players cannot be allowed to rest for more than half a month, that would be detrimental to adjusting the state of the main players.Therefore, in the UEFA Cup this season, West Ham played with all the main players for the first time.

There was no suspense in the game.

Graz ak is very weak.The strength of his group f is very weak, and Graz ak is also very difficult to appear.Ahead of him are teams like Alkmaar and Auxerre.

The strength of West Ham's main force is top-notch even in European football, let alone Graz ak.It is the first time for all the main players to play in the UEFA Cup. These main players are in good condition.West Ham easily defeated Graz ak with a score of [-] to [-] in the away game, and they have already entered the UEFA Cup round of [-] with one foot.

On February 2005, 2, the second game of the UEFA Cup knockout round.

In consideration of the League Cup final two days later, plus the [-]-[-] victory over the opponent in the first game, Chen Ping sent a complete substitute lineup.But even if it is a substitute lineup, West Ham's strength is higher than that of Graz ak.

At home, West Ham defeated Graz ak [-]-[-], eliminated Graz ak with a total score of [-]-[-], and entered the UEFA Cup round of [-].Since the restructuring of the Champions League, the top teams in European football have gone to the Champions League. The gold content of the UEFA Cup has dropped significantly, and its influence has shrunk sharply. There are basically no strong teams in the UEFA Cup.

The UEFA Cup in the 0405 season is even more so.

There is absolutely no traditional strong team to be found.West Ham started playing in the UEFA Cup qualifiers. After the group stage, they played another knockout match. The most famous team they encountered was Lazio.Except for Lazio, West Ham has never encountered a real European team.Newcastle is the most famous team currently in the top [-] of the UEFA Cup.There are many other teams, even some teams whose names have never been heard.

When West Ham played in the UEFA Cup, Chelsea also started their game. On February 2005, 2, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Chelsea also began to make choices.Four-front warfare is easier said than done.

Regardless of the thickness of Chelsea's bench, there are a bunch of famous European players on the bench.But the burden on Chelsea in the four-line battle is also very heavy, and the players are also very tired.In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Chelsea couldn't survive, not to mention the opponent in the fifth round was the Premier League team Newcastle.

Mourinho can't do his best for the Champions League knockout match a few days later.The current situation in Newcastle is that the Champions League is impossible, and it is difficult to even qualify for the UEFA Cup.In the Premier League, it is almost a team that has no desires and no desires.Therefore, we attach great importance to cup competitions such as the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup.

The result was that Chelsea lost [-]-[-] to Newcastle in the fifth round of the FA Cup and left the FA Cup.

For West Ham and Chelsea, the current burden is too heavy, and they can only abandon the FA Cup.But for teams like Arsenal and Manchester United who have no chance of winning the Premier League, the FA Cup is still very important.Therefore, they still attach great importance to the FA Cup, eliminated their opponents one after another, and entered the sixth round of the FA Cup.

On February 2005, 2, the Champions League 24/[-] knockout round.

Chelsea went to Camp Nou.

The result was that Chelsea were beaten [-]-[-] by Barcelona.Not only that, Chelsea and Barcelona caused a lot of trouble.Mourinho accused the referee Frisk of entering the Barcelona dressing room at half-time and having an intimate conversation with Rijkaard.Said that Drogba would be sent off in the second half because of this.Almost directly attacking Barcelona has something to do with the referee Franks on duty.

Mourinho's statement after the game caused an uproar.This is the hottest news in European football right now.

It was rumored.

Even the referee on duty was threatened with death by Chelsea fans, and Mourinho instantly became the public enemy of the entire referee.In such a disturbing situation, the time came to February 2005, 2, which is the time of the English League Cup final.
