Football nukes: a pound buys a club

Four days later in the Carabao Cup, Bury hosts the Hammers' West Ham challenge.

Before the game, Zhang Chong gave Weller a sneaky look: "Hey, Weller, do you remember this West Ham United?"

Weller snorted: "Of course I remember, they asked me what kind of toad I was..."

Zhang Chong chuckled: "Did they really say that? Didn't they give you any face?"

Weller looked at him: "How come you are so happy to hear that I was scolded?"

Zhang Chong patted him on the shoulder: "If you can exchange your unhappiness for our momentary happiness, then your unhappiness is worth it."

Weller: "..."

West Ham United's performance this season is very average, and it is now ranked No.17 in the standings, one step away from the relegation zone.

Zhang Chong suddenly had an idea: "If they are relegated this season, they won't be able to keep Rice as a treasure..."

So, he decided to help them on their way to relegation.

Today, West Ham is coached by Croatian rock and roll middle-aged Slaven Bilic.

This old man is a master of many talents. He has a master's degree in law, is a guitarist in a heavy metal band, and even published his autobiography.

And in his main business, Bilic can be regarded as a glamorous resume. He has led the Croatian national team to two European Cups-well, he failed the European qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa.

For Chinese fans, Bilic is also an old acquaintance. He once came to China in 2021 to coach Beijing Guoan.

It's a pity that get out of class was sadly dismissed after one season.

It seems that this big brother's coaching level is not worthy of his versatility.

And now he has brought West Ham United to this undeserved position, which also puts his coaching position in jeopardy.

On December 12, Kigley Stadium.

Players from both sides enter the field side by side after warming up.

Zhang Chong and Bilic also shook hands with each other.

The 48-year-old coach now has a gray beard and looks a little haggard, which shows that he is also under a lot of pressure now.

It is said that if the result of this game is not satisfactory, he will be dismissed from get out of class.

At that moment, Zhang Chong couldn't bear to lose it, but he quickly left this emotion behind - football is round and cruel, and everyone is doing their best for their work, that's all .

Game start.

Bury launched a tidal offensive as soon as the game opened.

In the last Carabao Cup game against Swansea, Bury carried out a substantial rotation, so the current main lineup is quite physically fit, just in time to release the passion on West Ham United.

Now there are several well-known figures in West Ham United, Arbeloa who once played for Real Madrid, Andy Carroll who once played for Liverpool, and Paragon who injured Ronaldo in the European Cup final this summer. yeah.

The core of their offense is Payet. This maverick player has outstanding skills, but in Zhang Chong's impression, he is always a person who does not play cards according to common sense.In other words, this person's professionalism is not good.

Now he is having friction with the club. Zhang Chong remembers that he refused to play for West Ham United this season. Maybe this is the reason why West Ham United did not perform well this season.

In West Ham United, there are also future thigh-level strikers Antonio who has played all the way from the lower ranks, and Calleri, who once overwhelmed Wu Lei in Spain. Unfortunately, these two strikers are relatively late in the field.

In this game, West Ham United still has a 3421 formation, and Chen Chong's layout is still focused on the two sides.

As long as they penetrate their flanks, they won't be able to make any waves!

No.15 minutes, Ali's midfielder's kick directly found Mbappe. After passing Fernandez's defense, he went straight to the opponent's defense line!

When the central defender Kouyat came over to defend, he passed a cross to Antoine Hill who retreated from the center to catch the ball, and then ran towards the penalty area.

Sure enough, when he accelerated towards the penalty area, Hill's pass was just right at his feet. He didn't stop, leaned on Kouyat's defense, and volleyed directly!

Goalkeeper Darren Randolph has nothing to do about it, one to zero!

Bury, who played at home, easily took the lead!

The middle-aged rocker on the sidelines jumped up, and was so angry that he beat Zaun to the team.

He hasn't stopped on his feet and hands since the beginning of the game, and he is very passionate.

No wonder some media once said that watching his team play is worse than watching him perform on the sidelines.

Zhang Chong couldn't help but glance at him several times, thinking that this man who is close to fifty has really good physical strength...

No.301 minutes, Gnabry made another breakthrough on the right. This time he directly chose to use his personal ability to make a breakthrough. Goalkeeper Randolph's block, he flicked his ankle, and wanted to pass to Hill who followed up in the middle, but unfortunately, the center back Collins broke the bottom line first.

No.307 minutes, Mesias pushed forward with the ball, passed the captain Noble, and sent a through pass. Antoine Hill told to plug in, forming a half-single knife. He leaned on Collins and pushed a far corner , Unfortunately, the ball hit the post and popped out.

The middle-aged rocker was nervous and frustrated by this wave of offensives. He seemed to know that it would be difficult for him to get out of this game unscathed.

Sure enough, in the No. 404 minute, Bury seized another chance.

Obanna put Gnabry on the edge of the box and Bury won a well-placed free-kick.

Cheng Sichu took a free kick, Shike grabbed the header in the penalty area and headed the ball into the goal!

Two to zero!

The middle-aged rock fell to his knees, this goal basically pronounced the outcome of the game!

In the second half of the game, Bury scored two consecutive goals from Mesias and Gnabry, and West Ham United only scored a long shot from Payet at the last moment of the game, which can be regarded as saving a little face.

The team's center, Comrade Andy Carroll, didn't touch the ball a few times in this game, and he was clearly arranged by Maguire in the only few headers.

The Torres replacement was nothing but physical.

In the end, Bury beat his opponent four to one at home, pushing West Ham United towards the abyss of relegation!

Weller in the stands smiled broadly.

Especially when he saw the face of the opposing general manager Brady, he was even happier.

It was this Brady who rejected him very rudely at the beginning, which made him a little self-aware.

Now they are both in the Premier League, and now Bury is at the top of the standings, while West Ham are still fighting for relegation.

This made his heart extremely happy.

When the two shook hands after the game, Weller said seemingly self-effacingly: "Our Bury is just lucky, like a toad that happened to eat swan meat."

Brady looked livid.
