In West Ham United's victorious league, fans saw a "Lin Emperor" who gave himself up: in this game, Lingard scored again, in addition to creating many offensive opportunities for the Hammers in the game, he revitalized the team's offensive system. West Ham united were in good shape in the second half of the 20-21 season, they were only two points away from the Champions League zone with one less game, and in the Premier League, where there are more strong teams and the competition is particularly fierce, the Hammers may be able to qualify for next season's Champions League under Moyes. Wenger has said that the difficulty of Premier League clubs to "fight for six" is greater than that of other league teams to "fight for four", and the intensity of fighting for the Champions League may be equivalent to the intensity of other leagues. If West Ham United can compete for the fourth success, the "Lin Emperor" has a great contribution.
Former Chelsea and West Ham star Joe Cole analyzed that It is no accident that Jesse Lingard's excellent performance in the Hammers is not an accident, on the one hand, the England player has not been given a chance under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for a long time, and he is holding his breath to prove himself in the new team. On the other hand, the 2021 European Championship is approaching, and if "Lin Huang" wants to re-enter the England national team, he must perform very well in the second half of the 20-21 season, after all, "Southgate" Southgate will choose the international team from the state of the players in the club. Joe Cole said: "Moyes's approach to Mourinho is exactly what makes Jesse Lingard's character – Jesse and David both like to give midfielders space, whereas under their system, there's not much room for centre-forwards. ”
Many fans have heard the view that Mourinho is suitable for portraying wing players, and Guardiola likes to develop middle-of-the-road masters, of course, this is only a one-sided statement. Whether it is when formulating a defensive counterattack or swinging a bus, the "madman" is accustomed to giving the front waist more offensive space and compressing the tactical space of the ninth player. Lukaku played a bit awkwardly during his time at Manchester United, he was at ease at Inter, and the author analyzed it after the ball, which is because Mourinho wanted the Belgian shooter to be fixed in the box and not to move beyond the top of the arc of the penalty area. While Romelu Lukaku is a centre-forward with a relatively large vertical range of movements, Conte freed up his range of activities, so at the Nerazzurri, the Belgian goalscorer was able to create very good stats.
In West Ham's system, Antonio is a big center who can fix on the penalty area and play the fulcrum attribute, which is where Moyes leads the team close to Mourinho. Some fans may have said: Kane is also a serious arrow figure, why did Mourinho give him such a large tactical space? After all, Kane has had a very large number of assists this season. The problem that everyone needs to pay attention to is that the Magic Bird did not arrange for Kane to do frequent "feeding" work, but Spurs did not have enough bench thickness in the first half, and the creativity of the midfield was already weak, and Kane retreated to the midfield position from time to time to assist. In other words, when Kane pulls back, Mourinho will also treat him as an attacking midfielder instead of a nine player.
As Bale gradually regained the feeling of scoring assists in the second half, after Delek Alli solved the mentality problem, Spurs' midfield assist ability gradually increased, and Mourinho naturally did not need Kane to withdraw from time to time to organize the attack. That is to say, the portuguese coach's system is still good at giving the midfield more tactical space, and Moyes also implements this kind of team leadership thinking. In the Scottish coach's system, the defensive area is Les and Shoczek, and their interception hardness is quite good. In terms of assists, there is Voñars, and Antonio can also play hand-to-hand in the penalty area. That is to say, before Jesse Lingard came to West Ham United, the Moyes system seemed to lack a midfield organizer of the positional warfare type.
After the "Lin Emperor" came to the Hammer Gang, he just filled the gap in the Moyes system. Why didn't Jesse Lingard have a chance at Manchester United before? With the arrival of B Fee, the core of the solso system has shifted to the Portuguese, plus Pogba also wants to "get a piece of the pie" in the position of the attacking midfielder, even Ed Woodward's van de Beek, who was brought in from Ajax at a great cost, has no place, and the "Lin Emperor" is certainly not sure of his own position. On the other hand, because Jesse Lingard needs tactical space to play at his level, it is clear that in the Red Devils' squad, many players in the midfield need space, and his space will naturally be crowded out by other players. In the case of Moyes leading the team close to Mourinho, the "Lin Emperor" will get better and better, after all, the player has also performed well in the past when Mourinho coached Manchester United.
