Football coach

At 7:45 pm local time in Lisbon, the UEFA Cup final officially began.

Chen Ping walked into the Jose Alvalade Stadium almost at the buzzer at 7:43.As soon as Chen Ping appeared on the field, he was immediately cheered by West Ham fans.

"Chen! Chen! Chen!!!!!!!"

"CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!"

When Chen Ping walked in, a small percentage of West Ham fans on the pitch chanted Chen Ping's name.The proportion of West Ham fans on the pitch is really small.West Ham fans are all wearing wine red jerseys with sky blue sleeves, which look red from a distance.

The main confrontation color in the Premier League is the red and blue duel.Speaking of red, the more famous ones in English football are the Red Army Liverpool, the Red Devils Manchester United, and the sought-after Arsenal. The jerseys are mainly red.As for blue, there are Blues Chelsea, Blue Moon Manchester City, Toffee Everton, and the jerseys are mainly blue.

Originally, English football was dominated by red, and the main contenders for the championship, Manchester United and Arsenal, were red.Historically, after Abramovich and local tyrants from the Middle East came to the Premier League, blue began to rise and began to really compete against red.

The color of Sporting Lisbon is also blue.

They wore turquoise jerseys, and the entire field was green.It's like being in the blue sea.

The entire Portuguese football world is very concerned about this game.To what extent, there are a total of 36 chairmen of the Portuguese Professional League *** (Super League and First Division), none of whom are absent, and all of them are present.

There are also Portuguese football legends, starting with Eusebio, Real Madrid No. 10 player Figo who is currently playing in Real Madrid also brought his Swedish supermodel wife Helen to the scene.Sitting next to Figo are Sporting Lisbon fans in Portuguese politics.Portuguese President Sampaio and his wife, Portuguese Prime Minister Socrates and his wife, all came to the scene to watch the game.In addition, the chairman of the Portuguese Football Association, Madal, and the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari, all sat together.

In addition to these Portuguese celebrities, UEFA President Johansson, a large number of UEFA officials, including UEFA President Platini a few years later, football emperor Beckenbauer, and many FIFA officials , all came to the scene.

The UEFA Cup final has fallen, and it is completely incomparable with the Champions Cup.

But it still attracted so many people.The whole of Portugal regards this game as the glory of Portuguese football.At this time, no matter who the fans are usually, everyone is now supporting Sporting Lisbon.

The Jose Alvalade Stadium, only completed in 2003, is the home stadium of Sporting Lisbon and the most commonly used home stadium of the Portuguese national team. In the 2004 European Cup in Portugal, five games were played here.The stadium can accommodate up to 52000 people and is one of the five-star football stadiums in Europe.

However, the number of fans in this game is limited.

Nearly 50000 fans came to the stadium, among which Sporting Lisbon supporters accounted for more than 45000, and West Ham fans got less than 5000 tickets.The result is that the green completely surrounds the red.

West Ham fans are like solitary boats in the middle of the sky, surrounded by green and red.

But West Ham fans showed no sign of weakness.

Seeing Chen Ping coming out, he immediately shouted Chen Ping's name, and immediately shouted "champion".

Chen Ping waved to the red lineup that could be seen at a glance, then walked to the bench of Sporting Lisbon, and shook hands with Sporting Lisbon's head coach Peseiro.Pesero was the assistant coach of Real Madrid coach Queiroz last season, the original Ferguson assistant coach Queiroz.He came to coach Sporting Lisbon this season and led the team to the UEFA Cup final. It can be said that his coaching career started very successfully.

"Coach Chen Ping was really late. He didn't enter the field until the game was about to start."

Chen Ping stepped on the line and entered the field.

"The game is about to start. Before the game starts, I will quickly introduce the starting lineups of both sides. Let me start with Sporting Lisbon at home. The goalkeeper is the Portuguese national goalkeeper Ricardo, and the defense is Miguel Garcia Toto, Inaccarel, Tello, Rogerio, Rochenback, Moutinho, Pedro Barbosa in midfield, Lederson and Pinto up front."

"Look at West Ham's starting XI. Veteran Edwin van der Sar in goal, Chimbonda, Pepe, Southgate, Martin Anthony in defense, Benayoun, Mascherano in midfield Now, Carrick, Ribery, Lambert and Defoe up front."

Because the game is about to start, Mortensen quickly introduced the starting lineups of both sides.

"Dududu-"

"The referee's whistle sounded and the game officially started. This is the Jose Alvalade Stadium, where the UEFA Cup final of the 0405 season begins. The two sides are West Ham from the Premier League and Sporting Lisbon from the Portuguese Super League. Said It seems that the two coaches in this game have a lot of similarities."

"For West Ham, it is the first time for Coach Chen Ping to lead the team to the top league. However, it is the first time for Coach Chen Ping to play in the top league. The results are amazing, and it can even be said to be the most perfect season. .West Ham not only completed the miracle of the newly promoted team winning the championship, but also created a Premier League points record."

"The same is true for Sporting Lisbon. This is the first time Coach Pesero has coached the team as a head coach this season. Judging from the situation this season, the fans of Sporting Lisbon should be satisfied with Pesero's coaching. After all, coaching the first In one season, he led Sporting Lisbon to the Portuguese Super League runner-up and entered the UEFA Cup final."

"Both coaches are newcomers this season in European football. Let us wait and see who will win in the final duel between the two."

New to European football.

Whether it is Chen Ping or Pesero, they have just become famous in European football this season.Last season, Chen Ping was the head coach of England's second-tier league, and Pesero was the assistant coach of Real Madrid.Both of them have appeared in the top league as head coaches for the first time this season.Of course, judging from the current situation, Chen Ping became famous far faster than Pesero.But again, if Pesero defeated Chen Ping in this game, his reputation would also increase greatly.

"Roschenback passed the ball to Rogerio, Roshenbach passed the ball to Barbosa. Barbosa had the ball well, Barbosa passed the ball back to Roschenbach, Roschen Buck gave the ball to Moutinho."

"Sporting Lisbon's midfielders are really good with their feet."

Mortensen was also in admiration.

Sporting Lisbon players are either Portuguese players or Brazilian players, and very few players from other places.These players are born with good skills at their feet.Roschenbach is technically rough among Brazilian players, but compared with English players, his skills are much better.

Sporting Lisbon's players, even compared with a Premier League champion team like West Ham, have an advantage in foot skills.

And the philosophy of football is different.

Like Italian coaches, the most typical one is Capela, who is a completely pragmatic coach.It is easy to find such pragmatic coaches in Italy.Many coaches in the Iberian Peninsula think differently, and they have offensive factors in their blood.

It is also because of this that Benitez from Spain and Mourinho from Portugal all feel different.When Benitez was in La Liga, Spanish football believed that Benitez was not a typical Spanish coach.

Pesero is not a coach like Mourinho.

Facing the newly crowned Premier League champions, Peseiro has no intention of defending and is very willing to attack at home.Use their skilled skills, wonderful breakthroughs, and passing to control the rhythm of the game.

"Jermaine, pester Roschenback."

After the game started, Chen Ping stood on the sidelines to observe the game.

This is the first time for Chen Ping to play against a Portuguese team. There must be some problems with the deployment before the game.So Chen Ping has been paying attention to Sporting Lisbon's style of play since the game started.After watching for a while, Chen Ping immediately made some simple adjustments.Let Defoe retreat and entangle Sporting Lisbon's midfielder Roschenback.

"Chen, no other adjustments?"

Julian Dix stepped forward to ask Chen Ping.

"Need not."

Chen Ping shook his head.

Pointing to the field, he said: "Portuguese

The skills of the Portuguese players are indeed very good. In this regard, no matter how hard the English team works, they cannot match them.But don't look at their skills, but their disadvantages are very obvious.You look at their striker, Ledson is 1.7 meters five and only 63 kilograms.Pinto is only 1.7 meters tall and 34 years old.The striker formed by the two of them has good skills and speed, but their bodies are too poor, and there are almost no headers.The two of them confronted Southgate, and neither of them necessarily had the upper hand.Against Pepe, you can't even get the ball.With the strength of the two of them, I let go of the two wingers and let them cross casually, and it is impossible to create any danger.Coach Pesero also knows this, so after the start of the game, he seldom crosses from the side and concentrates his offense in the middle. "

"So as long as we defend the middle and don't give them a chance to penetrate the middle, they will have no better way to attack. The current situation is good. As long as we are stable, this game is ours."

Chen Ping was very calm.

In open and close games, Sporting Lisbon's skilled feet, excellent passing, good striker skills and fast speed will allow their offensive strength to be brought into full play.

But facing some solid defensive teams, Sporting Lisbon's style of play has no advantage at all.

Because you can't get in.

This is the case with Sporting Lisbon right now.Crossing from the side is useless, so you can only go in the middle.However, in the face of Carrick and Mascherano guarding the middle, it has not been able to find a good solution.

Fortunately, their skills are really good, and their passing ability is also good.Therefore, after Ledson retreated to cooperate with the midfielder, it also put a lot of pressure on Carrick and Mascherano.That's why Chen Ping asked Defoe to retreat, entangled Roschenback who was always going forward.

Roschenback is the defensive midfielder of Sporting Lisbon, but also the organizational midfielder of Sporting Lisbon.Chen Ping didn't want Roschenbach to be too active, so he asked Defoe to go up.

"Moutinho, pressed by Benayoun, passes the ball to Rochenback. Rochenbach, Defoe, tackle!"

"beep--"

"Defoe didn't tackle the ball and tackled Roschenback's. The referee warned Defoe and asked Defoe to pay attention."

Defoe is very obedient.

In fact, since being returned by Chelsea, West Ham has re-accepted Defoe, and Chen Ping has re-accepted Defoe. Defoe is very grateful.He worked very hard in the game, and his performance this season is also very good.

Chen Ping asked him to retreat to defend Roschenback, and he faithfully carried out Chen Ping's order.Defoe harassed Rochenbach whenever he had the ball, and even tackled the ball when he had the chance.

Rochenbach stood up.

Defoe's movement is not very big, but the impact is still not small.Roschenbach touched his knee, and then his calf, feeling bursts of pain.Roschenback was injured in this game.If it weren't for the importance of this game, he wouldn't be playing.

But Defoe has been following him.

Although Defoe is only 1.7 meters tall, he weighs more than 70 kilograms and has great physical strength.If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for him to play in the Premier League where physical confrontation is fierce.Although Rochenback is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms, Defoe is not afraid of confrontation.

Defoe is short, so when confronting Roschenbach, he will always use force on Roschenbach's knees.This had too much impact on Roschenback, who was injured himself.

"it is good."

When Chen Ping saw Defoe's tackle, he immediately applauded and gave Defoe a thumbs up.

This is what Chen Ping wants.

Defoe is not a defensive player, and Chen Ping does not expect Defoe to be able to freeze Roschenbach alone.As long as he is disturbed and he is not allowed to play at will, then Defoe's task is completed.

Pesero looked at Chen Ping and frowned.

Not angry, but feeling helpless.Chen Ping's deployment is normal, but Peseiro has no choice but to say that Roschenback has been injured for two months.These two months have been fighting with injuries.

Be sure to hold on.

Maybe a little too much.But it really is.For Peseiro, Rochenbach is very important in Sporting Lisbon's tactics.But Roschenback is not a player of Sporting Lisbon, but a player on loan from Barcelona.As long as there is no problem in this game, how Roschenbach's injury will be in the future is something that Barcelona will consider.

"Roschenbach, Defoe has been pestering Roschenbach. Roschenbach passed the ball to Rogerio."

For Defoe's entanglement, Rochenback was really angry.

But he really couldn't get rid of Defoe.Fortunately, Roschenback is taller than Defoe and can protect the ball with his body before handing it to Rogerio.After Rogerio received the ball, although there was room for a cross, he did not choose to cross.

The central defender combination of Pepe and Southgate is not completely stable, and there are many loopholes.But in the handling of high-altitude balls, it is very powerful.Pepe is the No.1 of West Ham's high-altitude ball defense, and Southgate is a supplement to make up for the loopholes left by Pepe.The two strikers of Sporting Lisbon are at an absolute disadvantage in the high-altitude ball confrontation.As a result, Sporting Lisbon's several crosses in this game did not work well.

So instead of passing the ball, Rogerio suddenly moved to the center.

"Rogerio, shoot!"

"The shot was sudden and fast. Van der Sar, Van der Sar reacted faster, Van der Sar saved the ball."

This is the main style of play of Sporting Lisbon in this game.

Because the cross was not effective, Sporting Lisbon used their skills, passed the ball, and tried to find a way around the penalty area.Either find a way to pass the ball into the penalty area and let the striker find a way to shoot in the penalty area.Either a shot is found near the top of the box and the midfielder shoots directly.

That's what Rogerio did this time, a lateral movement, and suddenly he kicked and shot.Fortunately, Van der Sar was very focused and caught the ball.

After catching the ball, Van der Sar quickly passed among several players, and then directly threw the ball with a strong hand.As a goalkeeper, Van der Sar's offensive awareness was very strong and he wasted no time.Van der Sar's hand throws are very powerful and very precise.Directly found Ribery on the left.

Just because Van der Sar made such a smart decision, it gave West Ham a chance to counterattack in an instant.

"Franck Ribery, Van der Sar's throw found Ribery. Ribery picked up speed, Ribery... Miguel Garcia, he just brought Ribery down. "

After Ribery took the ball, he immediately accelerated from the wing.

Seeing that Ribery was about to speed up his breakthrough, Miguel Garcia ran over quickly.He didn't think about defending Ribery at all.Because it is difficult to defend against this kind of offensive player one-on-one.Miguel Garcia is well aware of this.

So after he came to Ribery's side, he directly held Ribery.Ribery, who had already gotten up to speed, was directly pulled down by Miguel Garcia.The referee immediately blew his whistle.

Because this foul is too obvious.

The referee came up with a yellow card, and the Sporting Lisbon players did not appeal.Because this is a clear tactical foul.

"Yellow card, this is a tactical foul."

A good counter-attack opportunity as Miguel Garcia's foul terminated.Miguel Garcia is very smart and knows that Ribery cannot be let go, so he would rather get a yellow card than pull Ribery down.

Ribery shook his head.

What a great opportunity, so wasted.

As long as the ball passes, Sporting Lisbon's defense is completely empty.For the Portuguese team, offense is completely integrated into the blood.Such an important game as the UEFA Cup final did not stop their desire to attack.

The defense is very forward.

Ribery's speed, as long as it passes, can directly face the goal.

"It was a free kick from the left. Sporting is a team that is more afraid of this kind of free kick in the front court. This free kick was taken by Ribery."

"Franck Ribery, free throw... Lambert, Lambert goes forward and shakes his head!"
