Star Coach

By flying to Japan one day in advance, Jiangshan allowed the players to relax for an extra day, enjoy themselves, and adjust to their competitive state.

The Premier League’s Christmas schedule is very stressful, and all the players feel more tired than ever before. Going out to relax now is also a good choice.

Also accompanying the team are the team’s medical staff, who provide muscle relaxation and massage to the players every day to maintain their condition and reduce injuries.

If the plane hadn’t been full of seats, Jiangshan would have wanted to take a few more people with him!

Travel expenses to and from the Club World Cup are fully reimbursable, with FIFA footing the bill, and Toyota spending money on the Club World Cup championship trophy.

If they are willing to spend money, let them spend as much as they can.

There is a bonus for the Club World Cup champion, which is not too high, but definitely not low. The bonus is a full US$5 million, which is almost 4.2 million euros in income, which is slightly higher than the European Super Cup at the end of August.

After qualifying for the European Super Cup, you will receive a bonus of 4 million euros. Pretty good game income, this is just a warm-up match.

West Ham can also earn nearly 10 million euros in the European Super Cup and Club World Cup. No matter how small the meat is, Woodward will not be too little. He even hopes to participate in these two events every year. The event can generate millions of pounds more in net income!

However, after the plane landed, the players went to the nightclub to enjoy life, while Woodward went to the negotiating table. There are many well-known companies in Japan, and West Ham can easily find “like-minded” partners.

Shinji Kagawa is quite well-known in Japan. Japan hopes that Shinji Kagawa will attend West Ham-related events. Basically, if he attends any event, the fans will definitely be full.

“This is the most important idea behind Jiangshan’s purchase of Shinji Kagawa. By buying him, we did make a lot of money in Japan.” Woodward was very proud. “Next season, put those two Chinese players on the team. You can definitely earn more.”

Sponsorship negotiations are one thing, preparation for competition is even more important.

When West Ham arrives in the Club World Cup, they usually have two games to participate in. After winning the semi-finals, there will definitely be a final. The final teams are basically European champions and South American champions. The strength of these two intercontinental champions is much higher than that of other places.

West Ham’s opponent in the semi-finals is Guangzhou Evergrande from China. The current head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande is the famous Italian coach Lippi.

After taking over Evergrande, he defended the league title and also led the team to a breakthrough in the AFC Champions League. Xu Jiayin’s championship plan was realized ahead of schedule. It is worth mentioning that the West Ham youth training coach cooperates well with the Evergrande Football School. Not only does he make money, but he also cultivates talents for China.

Guangzhou Evergrande bought Drogba at the beginning of the season. The price of 5 million pounds caused a sensation in the country. Drogba is already considered the biggest player in the Chinese Super League. He has won 2 Champions League championships, both with Jiangshan. of.

The Evergrande team is basically composed of Chinese national players, and there are strong players such as Konka and Muric. The overall strength is also top-notch in Asia. In the past season, they successfully won the AFC Champions League and became the first to win the AFC Champions League. China national team.

Before Evergrande won the AFC Champions League, the best result of the Chinese national team was the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League. They made history.

“Friends from the audience, Guangzhou Evergrande finally won the chance to face West Ham. The AFC Champions League will face the Champions League Champions. This is their chance to win with their strength.” Duan Xuan was very excited and kept chatting with Zhang Lu, “Zhang Lu directed , let’s not say that Guangzhou Evergrande can beat West Ham, let’s talk about it, does Evergrande hope to score a goal?”

“Hehe, the goal will definitely be scored.” Zhang Lu let out his signature laugh, “Jiangshan said before the game that they will arrange more young people to play in this game, so they will definitely not play with all their strength. Evergrande has the combination of Drogba, Konka and Muric, and goals are still guaranteed.”

On the field, Lippi had silver hair, and seeing Jiangshan again felt like a lifetime ago. At that time, he and Jiang Shan also had an exciting fight in Serie A, but now, seeing old friends again, there is naturally a sense of sympathy for each other.

“Mr. Jiangshan Cook, we meet again.” Lippi hugged Jiangshan. “I have observed your tactical system in the past few years. Just like your form, all the players can do what they want in your hands.” Wonderful dishes, full of flavor and color. ”

Lippi has been in China for several years and is somewhat experienced. Jiangshan’s surname, Cook, literally means chef. Well, on the football field, he treats the players as dishes and then stews them randomly. Every dish is the best.

“Congratulations on creating the history of the Chinese national team. I believe you will continue to win the AFC Champions League.”

Drogba also came up and hugged Jiang Shan, “Because of you, I am very popular in China, which is really happy. Maybe, I will settle my family in China.”

“Welcome.” Jiang Shan said grandly, “Our country is opening up to a greater extent. Everything will be better.”

Jiang Shan also greeted several young people from the national team. They worshiped Jiang Shan as a god. Unfortunately, they did not worship him and did not enter the World Cup.

The lineup arranged by Lippi is very sophisticated. The combination of goalkeeper Yang Jun and the back line of Li Jianhua, Jin Yingquan, Feng Xiaoting and Sun Xiang is almost the main lineup of the Chinese national team.

The double defensive midfielders are Zheng Zhi and Qin Sheng. On the forward line, Muric, Konka and Gao Lin line up to provide ammunition for Drogba on the forward line.

West Ham’s goalkeeper is veteran Friedel, who rarely gets a chance to play. On the back line, Danilo, Cahill and others all get a chance to play. Midfielders Kante and Eriksen play, Mahrez and Griezmann, Shinji Kagawa and Son Heung-min all get a chance to play.

In Japan, Jiangshan will arrange for Shinji Kagawa to play whenever he can. After all, the trophy is important and making money cannot be put down.

After the game started, Evergrande took the initiative to attack. Their offense and defense were very methodical, showing good self-confidence. Of course, Jiangshan also read from their eyes the desire to wrestle with the Champions League champion.

Wrestling with the Champions League champion is an opportunity they have worked hard to win, and Jiangshan will give the opponent the greatest respect.

West Ham’s players dare not neglect it. As long as Drogba is in the Evergrande team, their forward line will be a huge threat and cannot be neglected at all.

Of course, Drogba is old and his impact is not as good as before. Upson, who is the main force in the backcourt, also has a little advantage against Drogba.

In the 19th minute, West Ham opened the scoring. Shinji Kagawa passed the ball to Griezmann, who shot the ball through the goal guarded by Yang Jun.

Before the end of the first half, West Ham expanded the score again. Son Heung-min received a wonderful pass from Eriksson, crossed the ball, passed Kim Young-kwon, and then shot into the net from close range.

Before the end of the first half, West Ham had already finished the game.
