Football coach

2005 2 Month 27 Day.

Although it is the cup with the lowest gold content in English football, the influence of this game is not low.Not because of the League Cup, but because the two teams that entered the final of the World Cup have received a lot of attention in European football.

One is an upstart in the Premier League, and it is an upstart who has stirred up European football.

From the 90s to the early 21st century, the transfer market in European football was mainly driven by Serie A teams and Premier League teams.Why Serie A has become a "Little World Cup", many people can cite a lot of reasons.But in the final analysis, there is actually one reason, that is, Serie A spent money at the time.

The so-called Seven Sisters of Serie A have only one reason for their success, that is, their bosses are rich and their bosses dare to spend money.Just because their owners are willing to spend money, they bought a lot of good players.There is only one reason for the decline of the Seven Sisters of Serie A, and that is that the boss is short of money, or the boss does not want to invest money.As a result, except for Juventus, Milan, and Inter Milan, the other strong Serie A teams fell apart and their strength declined rapidly.It can even only be used to sell players to maintain daily expenses.

The same goes for the Premier League.

After the Heysel tragedy, English football was banned.After English football returned to European football, it was discovered that English football had fallen behind.The Premier League team has started to develop again, and what they rely on to return to the pinnacle of European football.Rely on banknotes.

Starting from Blackburn in the early years, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Leeds United later, which one did not rise by waving money.Of course, the owner of Blackburn is having fun, and he will stop investing money after Blackburn wins the Premier League championship.Leeds United is a typical representative of dying after getting too addicted. Now they are all in the low-level leagues and are in danger of going bankrupt.

Until 2002 and 2003, the European football transfer market began to become sluggish.It should be said that around 2003, the investment in the transfer market of Serie A and the Premier League slowly weakened, which caused the investment in the entire European football world to begin to weaken.

If Florentino hadn't become the chairman of Real Madrid and started the superstar policy, stirring up the European football transfer market, the European football transfer market would inevitably fall into a trough.And now the European football transfer market has suddenly begun to develop greatly, the reason is the arrival of Abramovich.

After he came to Chelsea, he immediately injected vitality into the European football transfer market.

After all, he just came to Chelsea and spent [-] million euros in just two seasons.Real money flowed into the transfer market, which immediately stimulated the transfer market and made European football flourish.The first to be stimulated were those who had received Chelsea's huge transfer fee and immediately used the money to buy other players.This stimulates the desire to sell players, and they will continue to buy players if they have money.Chelsea's transfer fee of [-] million euros flowed into the transfer market, resulting in a transfer of several hundred million euros.This is the same result as in the financial market, the central bank decided to increase the supply of base money, resulting in a surge in liquid money.

Then the ones who are stimulated are the Premier League teams.

After all, Chelsea's spending a lot of money to improve their strength is of course to stimulate the Premier League's strong teams.Even if they don't want to spend money, they must spend money, otherwise they will be suppressed by Chelsea.As a result, Manchester United, Arsenal, including Liverpool, which has always been relatively stingy, began to spend money.

All of a sudden, it drove the transfer market of the Premier League and the transfer market of European football.In addition, Mourinho, a young coach who has won the Champions League and is outspoken, came to Chelsea, which made Chelsea receive a lot of attention.Since Abramovich came to Chelsea, Chelsea has quickly become one of the most concerned players in European football.

Originally, if it was just like this, the attention of this game would not be so high.But Chelsea's opponent in this game is West Ham, and the game will be different immediately.West Ham is the newly promoted team of the Premier League this season, and it is creating a miracle team for the newly promoted team to win the championship.

These two teams are currently the most watched teams in European football.The result was the English League Cup final scene, many officials from FIFA and UEFA, as well as a lot of European football celebrities, and a lot of stars came.

The special guest was Sepp Blatter, president of FIFA.Blatter came to see a League Cup match in person and met with players from the two teams before the match.

In addition to Blatter, the chairman of the English Football Association, the chairman of the Premier League, and football stars from Chelsea and West Ham all came to the scene.Of course, in addition to them, there are many big-name star fans also came to the scene.

Including Chelsea fans, the famous English screenwriter and actor Will Ferrell, and the famous British actor Michael Caine, who is already 72 years old, these people also came to the scene.Of course, West Ham has many star fans regardless of its historical performance.

Not only local stars in England, but also some Hollywood stars.For example, Keira Knightley, the heroine of the pirates, is a fan, and a fan of West Ham.This time between Chelsea and West Ham, these stars also came a lot.

A large number of stadium boxes at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff have been ordered by these people.

"This is the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and the upcoming game is the League Cup final in 0405. Both sides of the game

It's Chelsea and West Ham, teams from London.I'm Mortensen and my partner is Gary Lineker.Katherine Jenkins had finished singing the national anthem and had already started to leave the field, and players from both sides began to shake hands with the referee. "

In the League Cup final, the national anthem before the game was different from the usual game.This time it was Welsh soprano Katherine Jenkins singing the national anthem.After the national anthem was sung, players from both sides began to shake hands.

Both sides are making final preparations.

"Let's first look at the lineups of both sides. Chelsea's starting lineup has not changed much. Their style of play is still the 4-3-3 they are most familiar with. The goalkeeper is Cech, and the defense is Ferreira and Kava. Roy, Terry, Gallas, Makelele, Jarosic, Lampard in midfield, Joe Cole and Duff as wingers, Drogba up front."

"It's a 4-4-2 here at West Ham. Van der Sar in goal, Chimbonda, Pepe, Southgate, Martin Anthony in defence, Ribéry in midfield, Mascherano, Carrick, Arshavin, Lambert and Defoe up front."

"Gary, what do you think of the starting lineups of the two teams?"

Mortensen asked Lineker.

Lineker looked at the starting lineup and immediately said: "Judging from the starting lineups of both sides, Chelsea continued the starting lineup when they played against Barcelona. The only change is that Jarosic replaced Thiago. The starting lineup also It is very in line with Mourinho's usual style of play, double defensive midfielder plus a central midfielder, the striker is a center forward and two wingers. Chelsea's 4-3-3 style of play is becoming more and more mature, and the effect is also getting better The better. However, Chelsea’s main players just finished a Champions League game in Barcelona three days ago, and there was such a big disturbance after the game, I don’t know if it will affect this game.”

"As for West Ham's starting lineup, it is very different from what we expected. Originally, we thought that West Ham would adopt three midfielders or three midfielders. But in this game, West Ham sent a very strong attack. Lineup. Lambert, Defoe, Ribery, Arshavin, the main attacking players are all on the field, which makes it really hard for us to figure out what coach Chen Ping thinks. The advantage for West Ham is that, West Ham's main players have rested for more than a week, and they are very energetic."

Lineker analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

In particular, Chelsea have just finished the Champions League knockout round. Two important games in three days are a huge test for Chelsea's main lineup.In comparison, West Ham's main players have rested for a long time.The UEFA Cup knockout matches in the first two days were all played by substitute players.

Mortensen immediately answered: "Indeed, West Ham's starting lineup is completely different from everyone's expectations. Everyone guessed that West Ham should compete with Chelsea for control of the midfield just like Liverpool. But I didn't expect West Ham Mu put up an offensive lineup. Is Coach Chen Ping going to use offense to destroy Chelsea's defense in this game?"

West Ham's offensive play against weak teams, let alone Mortensen, Lineker, and the like, did not expect it, even Chelsea coach Mourinho did not expect it.

Mourinho watched the match between West Ham and Liverpool carefully.

The evaluation of Chen Ping is still very high.Chen Ping cleverly covered up West Ham's weaknesses, and he was also very clear about Liverpool's weaknesses.The two semi-finals against Liverpool were very dull, and I don't know how much I was criticized.But Mourinho believes that the game is very valuable.

So it is already ready for a difficult game.

But what is this?

In Mourinho's view, facing Chelsea, which is currently in good shape, West Ham should send the most powerful midfielder to limit Chelsea's midfielder just like playing Liverpool.But what does that mean now?

So Mourinho couldn't help looking at Chen Ping who was standing not far away.

Chen Ping stood there with a very relaxed expression, not knowing what to say to the West Ham coach next to him.Mourinho turned his head and ignored Chen Ping, but continued to think about the game.Mourinho actually likes West Ham's starting XI.

Attack the opponent?

Not what Mourinho does best.Mourinho's favorite thing is that the opponent comes out to attack, and then Mourinho's team counterattacks.On defense, on the counterattack, Mourinho has many ways.

Mourinho is not afraid of you coming out, but he is afraid that you will not come out.

If West Ham is the same as playing Liverpool, then it will be very difficult for Chelsea to break through West Ham's goal.Now that West Ham has sent such a starting lineup, it is beneficial to Chelsea.

Because it is the League Cup final, there are many activities before the game.

After these activities are over, the players on both sides have determined their own half.

"Dududu-"

"With the referee's whistle, the League Cup final of the 0405 season officially begins."
