In this game, Grant fielded what he thought was Chelsea's strongest lineup, because Grant was also very stimulated by the bombardment of the opponent's head coach. People generally have the mentality of protecting their own shortcomings. Their children can only fight by themselves, and others can fight.
No, Grant is no exception.
Cech, Belletti, Terry, Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Callejon, Drogba, each one is the best in the world
star, but now they appear on the field together as teammates, which also shows how strong Chelsea's current lineup is. Only Pizarro and Kalou are among the team's other forwards.
Shevchenko currently has no chance to get Grant's new job and rarely has a chance to play. As for Anelka, the devil in the world, Grant has completely given up. Not only does his state fluctuate, but he always creates conflicts internally. Such a player can do whatever he wants.
The head coach won't like it either.
The game was played at Upton Park, the home stadium of West Ham United. Although the stadium is very old, it has been renovated many times and still meets the standards of the Premier League. Currently, including all the boxes, it can accommodate a total of 35,000 fans.
Although there is no scary atmosphere like Old Trafford and other stadiums, the home atmosphere created by so many passionate fans should not be underestimated.
In the visiting team's locker room.
"Hey, are you done yet? It's up to you!" Joe Cole was jumping up and down. The closer the game got, the more he couldn't calm down.
"Why are you so anxious? Don't worry, I won't hold you back." The prince replied slowly and leisurely.
Chelsea's players all changed their equipment under Joe Cole's instructions, which he had specially prepared before.
"Are you sure we want to do this? I always feel embarrassed!" Drogba, a gentle man, actually looked embarrassed, which made everyone's stomachs churn for a while.
"I also think it's a bit much. It's easy to talk about yellow cards, but the issue of face is a big deal." Although Lampard Terry could not refute Joe Cole openly, he still expressed his thoughts tactfully.
"Brothers, my brother's revenge action depends entirely on your support. I won't say anything else. I will never say a word about any requests you have in the future." Qiao Keer promised swornly, he was afraid that everyone would let him go.
"After all, Joe Cole is also a good friend of ours. We can't let others bully us without knowing it. This is settled." In the end, it was captain Terry who made the final decision.
The referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game. Chelsea kicked off first because Terry lost the guess and was taken away by the opponent.
Drogba passed the ball to Prince, who passed it back to the backcourt with his big foot. Terry received the ball and passed it to Belletti. The ball was passed non-stop in Chelsea's half.
This is also the tactic Grant formulated before. If the ball kicks off first, he will keep passing the ball in the backcourt and control the rhythm. Who knows whether the shameless old man from the Hammers will formulate any opening raid tactics. You know, at home
With the advantage, it is very easy to score goals at the beginning.
Grant guessed correctly. Corbishley really wanted to take advantage of the home court advantage to catch Chelsea off guard at the beginning. After the kick-off, the West Ham United players directly pushed towards Chelsea's half, with great momentum. In their home court
Of course, they have nothing to fear. Even the giant Chelsea cannot let them surrender without a fight.
Their plan was good, but they overestimated their own strength. If Chelsea players gave up the initiative to attack and passed the ball passively, then it is really not the little West Ham United that can steal the ball. In Chelsea's
In the backcourt, the ball kept passing, and Prince and Ballack also retreated to help control the situation. Therefore, within the first five minutes of the game, the ball did not pass West Ham United's half, and the Hammers players could not
Hit the ball, even once.
The Hammers fans quit. Their team played proactively, but these damn Chelsea guys played passively and couldn't even pass half time. Isn't this an obvious joke? So, there were boos on the pitch.
Shocking.
Momentum is a mysterious thing to talk about, but no one can ignore its important role. Just like the current situation on the field, the Hammers' momentum soared into the sky at the beginning, but it was worn away bit by bit by Chelsea's blunt knife.
If the ball is not touched in 5 minutes, no matter how arrogant the momentum is, it should have dissipated without a trace.
Off the field, Grant saw that the momentum of both sides on the field had changed. He waved his hand in a very classy way. Then all the Chelsea players understood it. So, contrary to the state of being idle just now, he suddenly accelerated the rhythm and passed a few kicks.
He passed the ball to the opponent's half and hit the hammer to catch the players off guard, making them all in a hurry.
The prince got the ball, and after covering the side, he played a two-on-one with Joe Cole and passed the full-back to the left side of the penalty area. However, the prince did not continue to cut inside or break through in depth, but slowed down slightly.
When Joe Cole ran to a better position on the penalty area line, the prince took a shot. The inside of his left foot curved the ball to the ground, bypassing the opponent's defender who was defending in front, and appeared exactly in front of Joe Cole.
on the running route.
Thumbs up, this guy's last kick was really domineering. Joe Cole praised the prince in his heart.
However, while his mind is moving, his foot movements are not slow. Facing the opponent's goalkeeper, he has countless ways to send the ball into the opponent's goal. He can push the ball to the left, push to the right, take a kick or pass the ball.
Rub him up and cum him, and he can do whatever he wants. However, he was so angry that he would not let the other person go so easily. So, being very impure in his heart, he chose the most difficult and humiliating option.
The dismissal - piercing the crotch. He stretched out his right foot and made a fake push to the right. In an instant, he changed his action and kicked the ball to the center. The football obediently got under the crotch of the opponent's goalkeeper who had already made a save.
Scored the goal. This guy Joe Cole is so obscene. He actually played and humiliated the opponent's goalkeeper like this. That was his teammate in the England national team.
Yes, the current goalkeeper on West Ham United's field is the number one goalkeeper of the England national team - Robert Paul Green. The prince is still very impressed by this guy.
Robert Paul Green won his first call-up to the England team while playing for Norwich City, becoming the sixth England member in Norwich's history. In 2006, Robert Paul Green was shortlisted for the England World Cup squad, but in
In a friendly match against Belarus on May 25, he was injured on a goal kick and was withdrawn from the World Cup squad due to injury.
When Capello took office, Robert Paul Green was not taken seriously. He once mocked himself as England's "sixth goalkeeper". However, in a friendly match with France in March 2008, Kirkland was injured and was given to Green.
Opportunity, he was called back into the team.
In February 2009, Robert Paul Green got his second chance to play for the England team, coming on as a substitute in a 0-2 loss to Spain in a warm-up match. On June 6, 2009, Robert Paul Green ushered in
He made his first start for the England team and helped the team defeat Kazakhstan 4-0. Then he was also the team's main goalkeeper in the game against Croatia.
But it was in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa that the world really remembered this second-rate goalkeeper. Green easily threw away the most important trust of coach Capello with buttered hands. In the early morning of June 13, due to Green’s fatal
After making a mistake, the England team, which was aiming to win the championship, was tied with the United States 1:1 in the first game of the World Cup and gave up the victory.
American team midfielder Dempsey, who plays for Fulham in the Premier League, never expected that his feeble and careless "shot" in the 40th minute would equalize the score for his team. This should be attributed to Green.
, the latter's low-level mistake directly blocked the ball into his own door.
The prince still clearly remembered the shape of Green's hands when he was throwing the ball: both hands were five fingers together, with the fingertips pointing upward, forming a pinched flower shape, and the order of the middle finger, thumb, and little finger slowly spread out like a chrysanthemum in bloom - a whole orchid finger!
This female trick was beautiful, but it couldn't resist Dempsey's shot, which had zero difficulty in saving.
Looking through Green's honor list, there is nothing worth bragging about. On the contrary, "the first goalkeeper to receive a red card in the history of the English team" has been permanently recorded in the list of shame of English football.
Speaking of which, Green also had a difficult background. He worked as an apprentice at Stoke City at a young age, earning only a few hundred pounds a month. This was all because of the words of his mentor Martin Whelan: "This kid is good.
"Keep the door!" was deceived. However, with his outstanding physical fitness and hard training, Green, who guarded the door of West Ham United, the weakest team in the Premier League, gradually entered the ranks of England's outstanding goalkeepers.
The main reason why Green is favored by England coach Capello is not because he is "tall but flexible", but because he is neither old nor young, and is "thirteen unreliable"
The Mesozoic Era. Look at the other two goalkeepers of the England team: James, who is nearly forty years old? This uncle is both a senior goalkeeper and a senior butter player. The 23-year-old Hart? This raw melon eggman will not guard the gate of Manchester City in future generations.
Dinghaishenzhen has only pathetic experience in 3 international competitions.
"At that time, the speed of the ball was not too fast, and there were not many changes, but the ball still rolled in from me. I have already encountered this situation. I can only raise my head and cheer up, face you (media) bravely, and accept
You bombarded me indiscriminately." In an interview with reporters after the game, Green laughed at himself and said, "This is life."
