Chapter 457
Jiang Shan remembers clearly that the 2012 UEFA Champions League final was held between Bayern Munich and Chelsea. Chelsea miraculously won the UEFA Champions League, undisputedly becoming another world-recognized giant in European football.
Of course, it is impossible for Chelsea to reach the Champions League final this season. Their striker Drogba is now in the West Ham team and signed for 3 years.
Jiangshan gave this old man enough face and gave him a three-year contract in one go. When the contract expires, Drogba is almost 36 years old. I don't know if he can resell it in the Super League?
After the lottery results came out, the faces of several teams were different.But Jiang Shan didn't think so much, he still had to face Barcelona.
Guardiola walked over with ease. His head was very bald. It is estimated that he was under a lot of pressure as the head coach of Barcelona. "Coach Jiangshan, we meet again. This time, it's my turn to win, right?"
"Want to win? Of course you can, just beat West Ham." Jiang Shan hugged Guardiola, who was his favorite student.
There are many disciples of Jiangshan, and now they are calling the shots in football. The earliest Tuchel, then Guardiola, Simeone, Pochettino, and now, Jiangshan's assistant coach is Zidane.
Will also become the head coach in the future.
West Ham vs. Barcelona, Europa League champions vs. Champions League champions, warm-up championships, but known as the European Super Cup, the European champions have a heart, and they don't want to lose the championship.
The game that took place quickly after the draw of the Champions League attracted the attention of the head coaches of all European teams. This game is destined to become a classic.
Jiangshan and Guardiola entered the field, a Europa League champion and a Champions League champion. Today the European Super Cup champion will be determined.
Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Villas-Boas and Mancini, who are also Premier League opponents, are all sitting on the court seats, waiting quietly for the opening. They also want to inquire about West Ham's combat effectiveness.This season, West Ham is still a strong contender for the Premier League title.
Mourinho and Simeone of La Liga also sat on the sidelines. Simeone has become the head coach of Atletico Madrid. Of course, he is still a little disappointed. The team sold Sanchez to Barcelona.
Bayern coach Van Gaal was also on the sidelines, with a calm face, as if he was sure of winning, "Guardiola was also my apprentice back then, let me feel the progress of this guy. Jiang Shan-he is really difficult to deal with. This season's Champions League, we want to win the group first, the pressure is not small."
Klopp wore a peaked cap, "Everyone is afraid of Barcelona's pass-and-control tactics. It is estimated that Jiangshan and I will crack it. What kind of lineup will Jiangshan arrange today?"
Seeing the lineup of coaches on the sidelines, Jiang Shan looked calm, and waved to the coaches, thanking them for watching the game. Jiang Shan's smooth movements immediately attracted the media to take pictures.
Guardiola was much calmer. He didn't have the star aura of Jiangshan. He walked into the field smoothly, his mind was full of today's tactics, "Guys, remember our tactics. According to the usual way of playing, we can kill them."
Pique suffered a minor injury and was unable to play, but like a political commissar, he encouraged his teammates, "What the Premier League teams are most afraid of is our pass and control tactics. Brothers, let's do a big job today and let everyone see that we are the top team in Europe."
On Guardiola's side, the main force came out. He has been looking forward to it for a long time. "Today is the day when I beat Jiangshan. Thank God for letting him win the Europa League. Otherwise, I thought there would be no way to fight on the stage of the Super Cup!"
With the pride of the Champions League champion, Guardiola is full of confidence, touching his bald head and feeling great.He suddenly discovered that there was a bald head on the opposite side, and it was even more radiant than him, and it would still shine...
Goalkeeper Valdez, Barcelona's main goalkeeper, an underrated guy.The career of the national team is also very sad, being suppressed by Iker Casillas, it is difficult to get ahead, thanks to him in Barcelona.
On the back line, the combination of Alves, Mascherano, Puyol, and Abidal is the main force among the main players. There is also the newly promoted left back Adriano on the bench.
The midfield golden trio, Harvey, Busquets and Iniesta, is one of the only magic weapons for Barcelona to sweep Europe. The other magic weapon is of course Messi on the forward line.
On the forward line, Messi is in the middle, with Pedro and Villa on both sides, the main lineup of last season.On the bench are captain Fabregas, who was transferred from Arsenal, and players such as Sanchez who just bought, all waiting for opportunities.
West Ham also let in a David Silva, who was arranged by Jiangshan to take turns, sitting on the bench depressed, waiting for an opportunity.
In the goalkeeper position, De Gea is still thin. This season, he has been completely righted by Jiangshan and directly ascended to the main position. Veteran Friedel became his main substitute.
At the back line, there is not much suspense. Although Danilo is also good, he can only play as a substitute at present. Baines, Cahill, Hummels and Glenn Johnson are a combination of sufficient hardness and speed.
In terms of midfield, it is still the configuration of four midfielders, the combination of Royce, Kroos, Modric and Bale. Jiangshan wants to let Ferguson know that 442 can still kill Barcelona. His 451 is too weak to control the game.
On the forward line, Lewandowski and Suarez started together. The two of them have a tacit understanding and are very lethal.The newly joined Didier Drogba sat on the bench, waiting to see through.
Under the watchful eyes of all the head coaches, this peak duel finally began.
Barcelona took the lead to kick off, they were not in a hurry to attack, they controlled the ball in the backcourt, attracting West Ham players to come forward.
Sure enough, West Ham went up, they raised the defense line very high, the frontcourt players ran very fast, and concentrated a lot of players near the arc of the center circle.
"Is this still the trick? Quick counterattack? Hey, it's useless to me." Guardiola saw that the team controlled the rhythm of the game, and he immediately relaxed a lot. West Ham players rarely entered Barcelona's backcourt.
After all, with Lewandowski's body in place, it is impossible for him to run at high speed throughout the game.
The ball was passed from Puyol to Alves, Alves knocked Busquets horizontally, Busquets took a step, facing Lewand's harassment, it was easily given to Harvey's feet.
At this time, West Ham's rhythm changed, Kroos suddenly rushed up, Harvey turned around quickly, turned his back to protect the ball, and protected it.Cross didn't step down either, and two or three teammates had already rushed over, forming a situation of encirclement and suppression.
It was a bit uncomfortable, Xavi didn't dare to rush in, knocked the ball back, and distributed it to the backcourt. The West Ham players let them pass on the back line, and only Suarez made simple harassment.
Barcelona continued to test and gave it to Iniesta. Facing Modric, Iniesta quickly scored the ball and gave it to Pedro.Pedro hadn't started to speed up yet, but Bell was actually following him.
At this time, Bell's position was very low, staring at Pedro, Glen Johnson, Suarez, and Modric all came over, forming a siege near the midfield again.
"Barcelona couldn't break West Ham's defense?" Mourinho was a little surprised.
Ferguson's face changed slightly, "Is this... a high position press near the midfield?" Several head coaches were moved, and sure enough, Jiang Shan's opening press tactics were very effective.
A few minutes after the opening, Barcelona actually fell into a disadvantage. They had possession of the ball, but they could not cause damage.
Unable to pass the ball into the dangerous area of West Ham's backcourt, the possession rate has no effect at all.Sitting on the coach's bench, Jiang Shan looked at the players on the field calmly, "It's not in vain that we have trained for so long, and it still has some effect."
"Not only is it effective, but it has strangled Barcelona's throat." Zidane was very excited.
