Chapter 428 Prospect

The schedule has entered April, the final sprint time for the league championships.The competition for the league championship was indeed between Chelsea and Manchester United. Although Manchester United had an ugly lineup in the past two years, they could also win the league championship with Ferguson's scheduling.

But this season, Chelsea's chances are greater. Drogba, Lampard and John Terry, several meritorious veterans, have all inspired the strongest combat effectiveness at the last moment and won the league championship again. The chances are great.

As for the competition for the Champions League seats, it has also entered the final stage of intense heat.North London double strong, Arsenal and Tottenham are fighting hard in the standings.Relying on the outstanding performance of Bell and others, Tottenham ranked ahead of Arsenal. In the last month or so, it depends on Wenger's scheduling.

Manchester City is temporarily ranked fifth. They are only one step away from the Champions League places, but this step is just impossible.West Ham temporarily ranks sixth, one place higher than Liverpool.

After Liverpool sold Harvey Alonso, they did not strengthen accordingly. Facing the wolves in the league, their competitiveness dropped sharply and they were defeated.

What happened to Liverpool is also similar to what Jiangshan predicted on Sky Sports, "Liverpool is not very competitive this season, and it is a successful season to win a place in the European competition. Benitez cannot be blamed too much."

Benitez has done his best and his aura seems to be fading.Of course, the prospect of West Ham advancing to the Champions League next season is not optimistic. Although their main lineup is complete and they are not weak in competitiveness, the team's lineup is still weak and there are not many players who can carry it.

The players that Jiangshan bought have already shouldered the heavy burden in the team, but many of them are still very young, their performance has fluctuated greatly, and they have not been able to maintain a stable output.

Heynckes was also very helpless. In the second half of the season, the team has been ups and downs in the top seven. Like Manchester City, it is still a short breath to qualify for the Champions League.

Heynckes' ability to hold the team is definitely not as good as Jiangshan, but the season is long, and the total time for West Ham to break into the Champions League at the top of the standings is only a short week, which is unreasonable anyway.

Manchester City has occupied the top four for a long time, but they couldn't bite at the last moment and fell to No.5.Although Jiang Shan has not coached, but observing the performance of each team, he has clearly felt that many strong teams in the Premier League are not as strong as before this season.

Next season, the competition for the league title will be even more intense. If this season fails to qualify for the Champions League, how will the team stabilize in the face of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal next season?Both are huge problems.

Many players have surrendered because of Jiangshan's reputation. If they fail to achieve results for a long time, the team's cohesion will definitely be slackened.The current West Ham is basically a new team and needs champions to enhance cohesion.

In the history of the West Ham team, there are not many honors for shooting. The European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965 was the only European honor in the team's history.

Moreover, this cup has been canceled in 1999, and there is no way to win it.Jiangshan bought West Ham to a certain extent because he saw this trophy. If the team wins the Europa League and Champions League trophies, it will be the first European Grand Slam in England's history.

So far, the only teams that have won the three European championships are Juventus, Bayern Munich and Ajax.

If West Ham fails to win the Champions League this season, Jiangshan will come out next season and strive for the Europa League. This UEFA Cup trophy will become the most important goal of West Ham next season.

Moreover, the Europa League champion has the qualifications to enter the Champions League.

In addition to the Cup Winners' Cup, West Ham also has three FA Cups, one League Cup, and no league championship. The quality and weight of the championship is obviously not enough.

The last time the FA Cup was won was in 1980, 30 years ago, many West Ham fans were not born yet.As for the League Cup, the year of winning the championship is even more distant. It dates back to 1940, and basically no fans remember it.

A bit of history, but the weight is average, so the team is far from being called a wealthy team, but after Jiangshan took over, the team already has all the conditions to become a wealthy team.

"In the last few games, we have to win consecutively and expect our opponents to make mistakes. It is very difficult." Woodward suggested that Heynckes should be fired at this time.His purpose is obvious, he wants Jiangshan to leave the mountain ahead of time, maybe Jiangshan's coming out to coach can bring qualitative changes to West Ham.

In the last few games, as long as they win all the games, the team has the hope of winning the Champions League spot, but this round-faced beard doesn't know that even if Jiang Shan comes out to coach now, the results of leading the team will not be greatly improved.

The team needs to adapt to the new coach, and he also needs to adapt to the players. This is a team formed by Heynckes. There are still many differences in the coaching philosophy of the two. It is impossible for Jiangshan to bring about changes immediately after taking over.

Therefore, he rejected Woodward's suggestion, "We had an agreement with Heynckes before, at least let him coach until the end of this season. Moreover, there is still a little hope of entering the Champions League, and his deployment cannot be disrupted. The coaching change will be discussed after the end of the season."

Jiang Shan continued, "We have to prepare for the operation of the next season in advance. We will go to Huaxia to train in summer, but the matter of player introduction cannot be neglected."

The team's lineup is not strong enough, and it is necessary to continue to introduce new players, but due to budget constraints, the summer signings are mainly veterans.

Focus on recruiting veterans, increasing experience points, and enhancing the team's ability to withstand pressure.

Jiangshan intends to extend his clutches to the players who have coached before. Many of the players back then were loyal to Jiangshan. At this time, if he gives an order, is he afraid that these players will not surrender?

West Ham is also a team that can afford high wages!The times are different. If they want to become a rich team, the salary cap must be raised.

In the last round, West Ham lost again, declaring that they could not win the Champions League. The goal set at the beginning of the season was shattered. For West Ham, this season is over.

Heynckes had communicated with Jiang Shan and wanted to resign early. He valued his reputation very much and didn't want Jiang Shan to drive him away, so he took the initiative to resign with Jiang Shan.

"Actually, I'm quite satisfied with your coaching." Jiang Shan blocked the resignation letter, "Although we can't win the Champions League, the progress of the team is obvious. You have done a great job."

"But a contract is a contract, and I respect the contract. If I don't lead the team to win the Champions League, I will resign voluntarily." Heynckes said decisively.

"Let's lead the whole season, there are still 3 games, isn't it?" Jiang Shan is not in a hurry. He is preparing to go out, and he must be well-prepared. "Next season, I hope you can continue to stay in England. I want to give you the position of technical director, what do you think?"

Heynckes has good contacts and abilities. It is better to stay in the team and give him a good position than to be poached by other opponents.
