The Glory of the Godfather

West Ham United ranked 9th last season, and it has been quite a good ranking in the past two seasons.

Last season, West Ham United won and lost, scoring goals and losing goals. The performance can be said to be quite good. You know, last season was Zola’s first season in charge of West Ham United. This player's era won the fans and the media. The respected Italian made his coaching debut and performed well.

Compared to several other teams with similar rankings, West Ham has relatively balanced home and away results, which is commendable among the Premier League mid-range teams.

Zola's team did not perform well on both ends of the offense and defense, but did not make too many mistakes.

However, West Ham United has conceded too many goals and the goal difference is negative, which also shows that the team's defense is unstable.

In the transfer market, West Ham United has basically completed the recruitment process. They have introduced Italian marginal international Diamanti from Serie A Livorno, Jimenez on loan from Inter Milan, and Carlton Cole. , West Ham United's offensive end is still quite strong.

Especially Carlton Cole, this player made his team's first appearance in the league last season and scored a goal. He is West Ham United's top scorer.

This year-old England striker is now in full swing. There was a rumor that England coach Capello inspected Carlton Cole before.

...

The starting list of the home team for today's game was shown on the TV screen.

West Ham United:

Goalkeeper-Green;

Defensive line:-Faubel,-Tomkins,-Upson,-Irenga;

Midfielder:-Behrami,-Mark Noble,-Scott Parker;

Forwards:-Diamanti,-Jimenez,-Carlton Cole;

"This starting lineup is really in line with Zola's football philosophy." John Mortensen said.

"It's hard to imagine, an Italian, but he respects offense in his bones." John Mortensen also said with a smile.

Zola said when he took charge of West Ham United last year that his football philosophy is to keep attacking, attacking, attacking, and always attacking.

The English media commented that Zola entered Upton Park with plaques of "sexy football", "perfectionism" and "romanticism".

At the visiting team coach's bench, Fang Jue was also chatting with his assistants.

"Zola admires Wenger very much." Assistant coach Steve Werner said. "He said his goal is to lead West Ham United to play Arsenal football."

"Very well, I like such an opponent." Fang Jue said with a smile.

He is really happy, seeing West Ham United's starting lineup with three forwards, his smile has been on his face.

Just took over Aston Villa, the team is still kneading. At present, Aston Villa’s biggest shortcoming is on the offensive end. If the opponent shrinks the defense, Aston Villa’s attacking ability is really not strong, and there is no way. many.

However, if the opponent attempts to press out the offense, Aston Villa's defensive counterattack will teach the opponent to be a man.

"Our defense..." Fang Jue was in a good mood. He wanted to say that he was at ease with defense, depending on how he played offensively.

Ceballos interrupted.

"There is no problem with defense, don't worry." Ceballos said confidently.

"Don't be too conceited." Fang Jue said.

...

In this game, the biggest change between Aston Villa and the first round of the league against Wigan Athletic was in the midfield.

Fang Jue arranged for Deisler to start.

Clement was alone as the single midfielder, and Petrov sat on the bench.

Ashley Young on the left, Milner on the right.

On the front line is Husky and Abangraho's partner.

Compared with the first round of the league, this starting lineup has enhanced the ability to attack and counterattack.

In the face of West Ham United’s ‘big colander’, Fang Jue naturally didn’t mind showing off Aston Villa’s offensive ability that was not too strong.

However, Fang Jue did not expect West Ham United to be so lucky and scored a goal soon.

This was the fifteenth minute of the first half of the game. West Ham United got the opportunity to set the ball, Noble kicked into the penalty area and Carlton Cole headed for the goal.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Friedel slammed the football, Diamanti squeezed Luk Young hard and succeeded with a tackle.

One to zero.

West Ham United leads Aston Villa one to zero at home.

Upton Park Stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

"Diamanti! This is the Italian player's first goal in West Ham United." Lineker said, "Luke Young's reaction was obviously slow, and he watched the Italian shoot successfully."

Fang Jue waved his arm angrily from the sidelines, and this loss made him very upset.

He glanced at Ceballos, this conscientious assistant also flushed, he just boasted that there was no problem with his defense, and then he was beaten so quickly.

Then, thinking that Fang Jue had expressed his concerns about defense before, Ceballos felt more admired by the other side. No wonder the other side is the head coach and he can only be an assistant coach.

This is the gap.

...

After taking the lead, some teams will shrink their defenses and be relatively conservative and cautious.

Some teams, after scoring early, will behave crazier and more aggressive.

Obviously, Zola's West Ham United belong to the latter.

Diamanti's goal made Zola very excited. The Italian compatriots saved him face and gave him the hope of a big victory at home.

Since the goal, Zola has stayed on the sidelines, waving his arms forward and encouraging the team to attack.

This is an attack by West Ham United.

Scott Parker passed the ball forward and Carlton Cole rubbed the header back.

Jimenez was about to catch up to get the ball, the football was preempted by Wilfred Bauma stabbed.

After the football was kicked, it was West Ham United defender Faubel who got the ball from the wing assists. He planned to pass, but was entangled by Milner and couldn't get out for a while.

Then Clemente rushed up and joined forces with Milner to cut off the ball at Faubel's foot.

Fang Jue's **** immediately left the seat, and he strode to the side of the court, staring nervously at the court.

This is an opportunity to fight back.

This is a good opportunity for Aston Villa to wait for a long time!

After Clemente stole the ball ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he looked up to the front, he did not choose to take the ball by himself, but directly passed the football forward.

To many people's surprise, Ashley Young, who should have appeared in that position, was desperately moving forward, and Milner, who had teamed up with Clement to steal the ball, was also desperately running forward.

The ball was received by Deisler who had withdrawn.

He pulled the ball and turned, looking up to the front.

If you have a bird’s eye view from the air, you can see that Daysler is taking the ball, two West Ham players are approaching him, and in front, Ashley Young on the left is running, and Milner on the right is sprinting , Abangraho is running in the middle and Husky is also running, but he slows down a bit.

Without Royce, without Mata, without Lewandowski, without Aubameyang and Modric, Fang Jue temporarily created this simplified version of the "Fangshi" in the initial stage of Aston Villa. Strike back'.

He also has Deisler.
