West Ham United have performed 'magical' for the second year in a row after returning to the Premier League.

In the 2005-2006 season, he was promoted to ninth in the league and entered the League Cup in one fell swoop; In the 2006-2007 season, the introduction of Tevez and Mascherano two World Cup internationals, after the acquisition, the club has a large amount of transfer funds, but the results are plummeting, once sentenced to a "death sentence", but the second half of the season magic again, the last 9 rounds of 7 wins and 2 losses, especially away defeat Arsenal and Manchester United, forced themselves from hell back to the world, thrilling relegation success.

After experiencing the last moment of life and death after the big ups and downs, West Ham United once again started from the summer transfer market, and the transfer work is very prosperous, and many media have reported on the transfer work of West Ham United, but in fact, so far, after in-depth analysis, it can be found that West Ham United is still "in a loss-making state" in terms of the number of personnel.

With Icelandic tycoon Magnussen at the helm behind the scenes, West Ham is recruiting "star" figures.

The first signing was former Chelsea star Scott Parker, who Kubish had poached from Newcastle United for a hefty $7 million, reuniting the former Charlton Athletic.

Compared with former captain Leo Coke, Parker has more comprehensive ability and experience, and West Ham has earned 1.5 million pounds in and out!

The 6.1 million introduction of Forbe is very much expected by the media, Fobe helped the team on the road to revival during his three years in Bordeaux, won the Ligue 1 runner-up and advanced to the European Champions Cup, was selected for the French national team after the World Cup, and scored the winning goal in stoppage time on his debut, a series of records paved the way for him to break into the Premier League.

However, Fubei suffered a serious injury when he first arrived, and he had to recuperate for more than half a year, and many people thought that the transfer was worth the loss.

West Ham then didn't let Bellamy slip out of their hands, and the Welshman is a speedy striker.

Bellamy played for Liverpool last season. However, Liverpool's overall style of play is not able to exert its full power, and the British Football Newspaper commented, "Bellamy's type determines that he is more suitable for non-big teams, scoring seven goals in 27 league appearances last season, and the most glorious moment was knocking on the door of Barcelona at Camp Nou." In terms of individual ability, Bellamy is not as good as Tevez who has left the team, but he and Zamora can continue to work well in a high-speed combination. ”

From the above transfers, it is not difficult to find that West Ham did not suffer a loss in buying and selling, counting the 2 million that Tevez offered to compensate the team, Magnussen spent 23.6 million, and earned back 22.5 million at the same time. It's basically a tie.

The players sold have their own "stories": Sheringham, Leo Cotter and Kubishli have broken down their relationship, they have been purged from the team, Benayoun is a "man on the rise", and Liverpool's call has left him unable to refuse. Haywood, Konchesky and Carroll left the team after not being able to secure a place in the main team.

After last season's dressing room battle, owner Magnussen realized that he had to erge the manager's authority and keep the dressing room harmonious, and those who disagreed with the manager must go, and those who want to leave must go, anyway, he 'has money', before the transfer door closes. There should also be new faces at the club.

Overall, West Ham have lost more than they gain in the summer transfer campaign, and there are a number of star players on the list of departures, so what can they do in the first round. It's still worth watching.

When this West Ham side meets Manchester City, it is worth the attention of the media.

However, the media's attention to the strong team is always greater than that of the weak team, compared with West Ham. Manchester City are much more noteworthy as they were the defending champions last season as they had just won the Manchester derby. Many people are concerned about whether Manchester City can get a good start to the new season, and the performance in the first round can also see the overall trend of a season, which is still very noteworthy.

In the past, when Wansheng talked about 'winning the championship', it would be questioned and criticized by a lot of media, but now it is different, after the Manchester derby, Wansheng once again issued a championship declaration, but even those hostile media, at most, questioned that those who support Manchester City and neutral media are very optimistic about Manchester City's form of winning the title.

In fact, after winning the Manchester derby, Manchester City did jump to the bottom of the odds to win the title.

In terms of the odds of the Premier League champions of British bookmakers, Manchester City only has 2.1 times the odds, while Manchester United has increased to 3.4 times the odds, Chelsea is 4.6, Arsenal is 7.8, and Liverpool's odds to win the championship are even more than 10.

Manchester City won the league title for two consecutive seasons and beat Manchester United in the Community Shield, and they were the 'favourites to win the title' before the first round of fixtures even began.

The optimism of the outside world made Wan Sheng frown.

Before, there was criticism and skepticism, and he could use that to motivate the team and motivate all the players, but now the voice is different, and everyone thinks that Manchester City have the best chance of winning the title.

Although there are many people who hope that West Ham United will create a miracle victory, they are still optimistic about Manchester City in this game.

But the outside world's optimism is not all good, because West Ham United can't be willing to lose the first round and bow down to Manchester City, they want to win and get three points, it's too late to prove their strength, how can they be willing to admit defeat?

But the optimism of the outside world will make the team have the idea of underestimating the enemy, which is absolutely unacceptable.

So before the game against West Ham United, Wan Sheng could only continue to do ideological work for the team.

"Don't listen to the voices of the outside world, it doesn't matter what they say!"

"If I were the manager of West Ham, I would definitely use those voices to boost morale! They know that they are not as strong as us, but in football, it is never about being strong that you will win. They can hold on for 90 minutes, or even sneak a goal until the end of the game, if they do, it will be very difficult for us to win, so we must seize the opportunity, this game, we just play according to the tactics, if we can score a goal, we have to try to score a second! We're going to crush them completely! ”

"I don't want to see somebody don't work hard in the game, even if they score, so you don't have to play in the next game!"

'You should all know that there are no absolute players and substitutes in the team, and I dare say we are very competitive in every position. If you don't want to give others a chance, you have to work hard to perform! ”

Wan Sheng's tone was stern.

Since there is no 'push' from the outside media, use intra-team competition to boost the morale of the players. There's pressure to 'lose your position' when they play.

The competition within the team is fierce, and every player is encouraged to perform hard, because no one wants to lose their position because of a bad performance.

Wansheng believes that this will be a very effective means.

――――

Meanwhile, in the West Ham dressing room, West Ham coach Jubichef Jubiche Lima was also mobilizing before the game, relying on the media's bullish comments about Manchester City.

'In the last few days, all the reports have been about Manchester City, who beat Manchester United and won their first title of the new season. In addition, they have won the Premier League title for two consecutive seasons and should be favored this season...... But we are negligent and shouldn't! ”

"Guys, you know what? We were ignored! Ignored by the media, ignored by the fans, perhaps, even our own fans, feel that this game is hopeless! ”

"The media didn't take us seriously, the fans didn't take us seriously. The opponent didn't take us seriously! ”

'I'll admit it, Man City are very good, they won the title last season unbeaten, but we have to take care of ourselves!' Kubishli waved his arms excitedly. "I'm sure you won't fail to take yourselves seriously, will you? Is it? Answer me! ”

With a response one after another, Kubishli said seriously, "Yes! That's how it should be. We are not lambs to be slaughtered, we are not tools for people to trample on! We're West Ham and we're going to show it with the game. We are also very strong! ”

"What is Manchester City? Let's beat them and show everyone that we're a strong team too! ”

After Kubishli finished speaking, the West Ham players walked out of the dressing room with high convictions, ready to face Manchester City in a life-or-death showdown.

――――

West Ham United have the fighting spirit and the strength to be honest, they played very well, but unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent.

When the game started, West Ham found it wasn't that simple.

They thought they could give Manchester City a head-on blow at home with their fighting spirit and enthusiasm, and when the game just started, they ran actively, fought aggressively, kept looking for opportunities, and wanted to let the rhythm of the game follow them.

But after a while, they found that the field was completely different from what they had imagined.

A lot of things don't have results from hard work.

That's the way it is now.

They have been working hard and fighting, but the game has not developed as they imagined, the game is not in their hands, and it is still the opponent - Manchester City who takes the initiative to drive the rhythm of the game.

West Ham associate to drive the rhythm, but their football is very rough, not good at this at all, in contrast, Manchester City's tactics are completely based on control and rhythm, especially Manchester City's overall technical strength is much stronger, between several offensive and defensive transitions, the rhythm of the game has been controlled in hand.

Manchester City controlled the rhythm by constantly changing the speed of the fast and slow cooperation, when West Ham United wanted to be fast, Manchester City's passing speed was slower, on the contrary, Manchester City suddenly became faster, which made the West Ham United players very uncomfortable.

While they were struggling to adapt, City had launched several successive attacks and the players on the pitch were fully in shape.

The difference in tactics and strength between the two sides is reflected.

West Ham were desperate to perform, but their efforts were fruitless, while Manchester City were able to control the tempo of the game, the midfield and the overall course of the game through normal tactical coordination.

Faced with this situation, the West Ham players thought of the style of play that coach Kubishli said before the game, "If the opponent has too much possession, you must try to press it!" ”

This is what it takes to stop City from controlling the tempo.

So the West Ham players tried to keep pressing forward, trying to grab the ball and attack.

They're doing a good job.

On two occasions they even succeeded, snatching the ball directly, and then launched a wave of counter-attacks, which caught Manchester City off guard, but Manchester City was not in a hurry, and after regaining possession of the ball, they absorbed the experience of two defeats and played more calmly, and then West Ham tried hard to grab the ball, and it became more difficult.

Twenty minutes into the game were fast enough for some West Ham players to find their fitness a little out of pace.

They have been fighting hard, running more than the City players, and with the lack of preparation, some of the players have seen their fitness slip and sometimes they can't keep up with the pace of the city.

That's when some of the players felt the difficulty.

Some of the players are still very smart, and even though they are not as good as the big names, they can still see something in the game.

It's only been 20 minutes now, and they played well in the first 20 minutes, using a lot of hard work, not much worse than Manchester City, but they sacrificed more movement and more physical exertion.

The physical fitness of the players is not unlimited, and the non-stop pressing and running will make their physical fitness drop significantly, and if they can hold on for a moment, they will definitely not be able to hold on to the whole game.

So after a while, they can't keep up with each other's rhythm, how are they going to play?

When someone thinks like that, they question the game, they question the statement of manager Kubishli, and although the score is still 0-0, the very different situation on the pitch will make them lose confidence in the game.

Nearly 30 minutes passed and West Ham continued to work hard, but it was clear that some players on the pitch could not keep up.

As a direct result of this, every time they attacked, the formation was a bit chaotic and it was difficult to play much of a threat.

Manchester City is the opposite.

With every attack, they are able to threaten the West Ham defence and even directly threaten the goal.

Although the situation is still evenly matched, the gap in offensive efficiency has been revealed.

Many West Ham players also realised that if the game continued like this, their performance would get worse and worse, so how could they fight Manchester City in the second half?

They were at a loss.

At this time, some players finally realized that just relying on enthusiasm and fighting spirit is sometimes useless.

For example, in the current game, they played a good game for 30 minutes with enthusiasm, but unfortunately there were 90 minutes in the game, what should I do with the next 60 minutes? They don't know.

But the rapid decline in fitness of many people has made the team as a whole unable to keep up with the rhythm of the opponent.

They almost watched as the team fell into passivity......
