I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 117: The villain dies because he talks too much! The Chinese in Bayswater are finished! [Subscribe]

On the afternoon of June 2th.

Bayswater Chinese will play a little later than Manchester United.

Yang Cheng was not aware of what happened at Craven Cottage in London.

He didn't know that while Ronaldo scored a goal against Fulham with a 70-meter long run and a ground-breaking shot, Australian center Viduka scored a header against the Chinese team in Bayswater at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium.

1 is better than 1!

The two sides ended in a draw.

Southgate's team is clearly better than they were in the first leg.

The joining of defensive stalwart Woodgate has greatly improved Middlesbrough's defense.

Yang Cheng immediately made substitutions.

He called the captain Modric who was on the bench to his side.

The Croatians had already warmed up in advance.

"After you go up, let Lambert apply more pressure. Their front line of the penalty area is not well protected. You and Andre should get more balls in this area and think of a solution."

"Tell Gokhan to kick more often in front of the penalty area."

"clear."

Yang Cheng looked at Modric deeply.

The Croatian also noticed the head coach's gaze, nodded slightly, and walked to the sidelines.

He didn't say anything, but he had made up his mind.

……

The last 30 minutes were like a painful torture for both teams.

Southgate's strategy for this game was very wise. He knew that Bayswater Chinese must win. He was also affected by the Champions League match in the middle of the week, so he chose to rest and defend and counterattack.

That in itself is something he and Middlesbrough excel at.

Yang Cheng had anticipated this, so he took strict precautions against several counterattack points, such as Tang Ning.

Even within 7 minutes of the start of the game, the Chinese team of Bayswater scored a goal.

Lambert scored.

But for most of the rest of the time, Lambert was unable to gain any advantage from Woodgate.

The continuous battles have put a lot of pressure on the Chinese players of Bayswater.

This is the test!

Only those who can make it through are qualified to claim the championship!

When Modric came on, there was still half an hour left.

The Croatian brought Yang Cheng's latest instructions, requiring everyone to remain patient, control the tempo of the game and the ball, and slowly look for opportunities to penetrate Middlesbrough's defense.

Southgate made two consecutive substitutions within 5 minutes of Yang Cheng's substitution, using up all the substitutions allowed.

One is to make substitutions in the midfield to increase the vitality of the midfield.

Another is to take off a striker, replace him with a midfielder and strengthen the defense.

In this way, Viduka became the only fulcrum in the frontcourt.

This also shows Southgate's determination.

He wants to carry out the defensive counterattack to the end.

Time is passing bit by bit.

As the remaining time of the game decreased, the competition became more and more tense and fierce.

It was a suffocating feeling.

The Chinese in Bayswater are constantly trying to move forward and creating opportunities.

In the 75th minute, Yang Cheng made the third substitution.

Di Maria replaces Yaya Toure.

Before going on the court, Yang Cheng put his arm around Di Maria's neck, held him in front of him, leaned close to his ear, and said to him, "After you go up, go to the right."

Di Maria nodded continuously and listened very carefully.

"Taylor is very young, only 20 years old, and he often misses the player he is marking."

"And Bogaerts, he always retreats very far back, you have to try to cut from the right to the top of the arc, or to the area on the left side of the top of the arc, and give them a fatal blow!"

"Do you understand?" Yang Cheng asked forcefully.

Di Maria had acne on his face, but he looked at Yang Cheng with a firm look in his eyes, "I know."

"Remember, Angel, we need a goal!"

"understand!"

"Bring us luck, angel!"

After saying that, Yang Cheng patted Di Maria on the back encouragingly and asked him to go on the court.

……

As Di Maria came on, the Bayswater Chinese piled up offensive players in the frontcourt.

Lambert occupied the middle, with Ashley Young on the left and Di Maria on the right.

In the middle are Inler, Modric and Arshavin.

Modric and Inler retreated a little based on the situation on the field.

The Swiss midfielder's footwork was not very good today and several of his shots were too high.

After the substitution, the Chinese players from Bayswater started to attack on the right.

Piszczek also became more active, frequently making forward runs and participating in the frontcourt attack.

Especially after the 80th minute, he was almost always engaged in offense.

Middlesbrough retreated across the board.

This made the game more intense and more difficult.

Time passed slowly and soon it was 85 minutes.

But the situation still seemed to be not improving.

The attacks were blocked again and again.

Almost every time the Bayswater Chinese entered Middlesbrough's 30-meter area, they deployed at least five defensive players in the penalty area, sometimes even six.

It can be said that it is a strict defense.

The players of Bayswater Chinese were all moving forward actively, and everyone wanted to rush into the penalty area and look for opportunities to shoot.

Di Maria thought about what the head coach had just said.

Crossing from the bottom won't work.

They always retreated very far back, with five or six players stationed in the penalty area, making it impossible to pass the ball inside.

Moreover, they were always on guard against long-range shots from outside the penalty area by the Chinese players in Bayswater.

Inler took several shots in this game, but the results were not good.

Now there is only one way.

First force them into the penalty area, then shoot from the outside!

Thinking of this, Di Maria looked at Piszczek nearby, pointed at himself, and made a gesture of walking sideways with his hand.

The Pole understood what he meant and nodded.

You can try!

Soon, Di Maria reached a tacit understanding with Arshavin.

In fact, the two of them have already communicated.

"Which position are you most confident in?" Arshavin asked.

"I'll shoot with my left foot, from the top right, into the far corner."

"Let Piszczek pass the ball to me and I will do it for you!" Arshavin made a quick decision.

……

Another attack was launched.

After receiving the pass from Modric on the right flank, Di Maria kept moving forward, forcing Taylor to retreat.

Middlesbrough's defense also retreated again and again.

Outside the right corner of the penalty area, Di Maria attracted the attention of two defensive players.

Alka, the left midfielder, also returned.

But the Argentine made an emergency stop, avoided Alca who was chasing him from behind, and protected the ball.

Piszczek quickly came in from the flank.

Di Maria immediately passed the ball and ran diagonally to the right side of the arc.

Taylor and Alka were both attracted by Di Maria to the right side of the penalty area, so Piszczek kicked the ball to the bottom line, and when he caught up, he had already rushed to the right side of the penalty area.

He glanced around the restricted area.

Lambert had already rushed to the front of the small penalty area, and Arshavin pointed to his side and behind him.

Without saying a word, everyone understood with just one action.

Piszczek saw a passing lane.

This was created by Arshavin's movement.

So he sent a low ball from the middle of the right side of the penalty area.

The pass was so fast that it instantly penetrated Middlesbrough's defense and fell horizontally to the penalty spot.

Lambert rushed to the small penalty area with the center back.

Everyone thought that Piszczek would make a cross from the bottom, and everyone was guarding against this.

Woodgate was already preparing to intercept in the right corner of the small penalty area.

Unexpectedly, Piszczek made a low cross pass.

Arshavin suddenly turned sideways on the right side of the penalty spot, with his back to the left, and stretched out his right foot to stop the ball.

As soon as the ball stopped, Boateng and other Middlesbrough defensive players rushed over immediately.

The Russian turned around again, with his back to the goal, and seemed to be protecting the ball.

He has two choices at this time.

Inler was in front of the left side of the penalty area, but the distance was a bit far, and Downing was also returning to defense nearby.

The only thing left is Di Maria.

Arshavin gently pushed the ball forward to the intersection of the top of the arc and the penalty area line.

The defensive players were all attracted to the penalty area, creating a vacuum in that area.

Di Maria had been waiting outside. He suddenly accelerated and, using inertia, shot the ball with his left foot towards the pass from Arshavin.

In order to make it easier for him to kick the ball, the Russian slowed down the speed of the ball and it did not rotate.

Di Maria's pull hit the spot perfectly.

The ball flew up at an extremely fast speed, passed everyone in the penalty area, made a beautiful arc, brushed the inside of the left post, and went into Middlesbrough's goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 87th minute, Di Maria, a 19-year-old young player from Argentina, scored against Middlesbrough with a curved ball from the edge of the penalty area!"

"2 to 1!"

“Oh my god, at the last minute of the game, Bayswater Chinese scored again!”

“This is definitely a golden goal!”

"From Di Maria!!!"

After Di Maria scored the goal, he was so excited that he opened his mouth wide, cheered loudly, and ran out of the stadium.

The teammates around him also rushed out one after another and surrounded him.

Someone was even so excited that he gave the Argentine a big kiss on his acne-covered cheek!
……

Bayswater Chinese finally defeated Middlesbrough 2-1!

A narrow victory!

Yang Cheng felt like he was going to collapse.

This kind of competition pressure is really torturous.

"It was a wonderful game, you deserved to win!" Southgate walked over and shook hands with Yang Cheng.

"Thanks, Gareth, you guys have been great too and have caused us so much trouble."

"But in the end we still lost," Southgate sighed helplessly.

"Keep up the good work, and I hope you can get a good result this season," Southgate encouraged.

Yang Cheng thanked him.

After seeing Southgate off, Yang Cheng walked back to the coaching seat and asked for a bottle of water.

"How's the result at Manchester United?"

Gianni Vio had already checked it out.

"They were also 2-1. At the last minute, Ronaldo made a long run and scored against Fulham."

Yang Cheng was a little stunned.

But I figured it out immediately.

The Chinese in Bayswater are feeling the pressure now, and so are Manchester United.

At this time, mistakes may occur in any game.

Whoever makes a mistake first will lose the opportunity to win the championship.

The advantage of the Chinese in Bayswater now is that they are in the lead. As long as they don't make mistakes, the pressure will be passed on to Manchester United.

In the next round, Manchester United will face Liverpool away from home.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Arsenal away.

Both games are going to be very, very tough.

……

After the 28th round of the Premier League, not only the British media, but also the media and fans all over the world were in an uproar.

They haven't seen such a fierce battle for the Premier League title in a long, long time.

In the past few years, either Arsenal's unbeaten season or Chelsea's two consecutive seasons of leading the league have made the Premier League championship a foregone conclusion early on.

But this season, the Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United have been in such a stalemate that Premier League fans all over the world are excited and thrilled.

Especially in the 28th round of the game, Liverpool defeated Sheffield United 4-0 at home.

Arsenal beat Aston Villa 1-0 away.

Both teams have been in very good form in recent times.

Liverpool head coach Benítez even said that he would never let Manchester United take even one point away from Anfield.

When the media jokingly asked Wenger whether he deliberately gave the Chinese in Bayswater a break because of his feud with Ferguson?
Wenger responded by saying, "What are you thinking? That's our mortal enemy in London!"

The whole of Britain is eagerly watching to see who will win the Premier League title this season.

Ferguson was waging a psychological warfare campaign in the media.

On the one hand, he said in the media that the fact that Bayswater Chinese have been able to persist until now is already a very successful season.

"Last season, they missed out on the title race early on, but now, they are still trying."

What Ferguson meant was that even if you lose after fighting this far, it would be pretty good.

In addition, Ferguson also commented on the schedule, believing that the next match against the Chinese at Bayswater will be a real test.

After playing Arsenal, it is the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, followed by the FA Cup quarter-finals, and then the 30th round of the Premier League, playing against Portsmouth at home.

Redknapp's side have been one of the best defensive teams in the Premier League this season.

After that there are two weeks of national team matches, and after returning, it will be an away challenge to Tottenham.

Ferguson said confidently, "We have an advantage in schedule over Bayswater Chinese, but this is not a reason for us to let our guard down. We will do our best in every game."

"I believe that the championship is waving towards us!"

……

April 3th afternoon, Emirates Stadium, London.

In the 29th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Arsenal away.

When Gilberto Silva calmly scored the penalty in the 51st minute of the second half and the ball went into Neuer's goal, Wenger, who was standing in front of the home team's coaching booth, clenched his fists excitedly and cheered for his players with all his might.

Then, the Frenchman turned around and walked to the home team's coaching bench and sat down.

The score shown on the scoreboard changed from 0 to 1 to 1 to 1.

Both sides draw.

Bayswater Chinese scored the goal in the 16th minute of the first half.

It was a corner kick.

Pepe scored the first goal for Bayswater Chinese from a corner kick taken by Leighton Baines.

Afterwards, the two teams fell into a stalemate.

Arsenal never managed to score a goal, but their defense was very solid.

Until the second half.

After Rosicky moved to the left flank and received the pass from Fabregas, he passed the ball to Clichy who was running at high speed on the left. The latter rushed into the penalty area with the ball but was tripped by Skrtel on the right side of the penalty area.

In fact, Wenger knew very well that Clichy was somewhat suspected of fraud.

But this is professional sports!

Who asked Skrtel to stick to him?
"Are the results from Anfield out?" Wenger asked assistant coach Pat Rice.

"It's out, 1-0, Manchester United scored in the second minute of stoppage time."

Wenger was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It was so damn thrilling!"

"Who says it's not?" Pat Rice felt palpitations at the thought.

It would be unimaginable if a situation like this happened to Arsenal.

Over the years, Wenger has had many extreme battles with Ferguson, but he failed to hold on in the end, which allowed Manchester United to stage a Jedi counterattack time and time again.

This also became a pain in Wenger's heart.

Others felt pain once, but he felt pain several times.

"Let the fans at the back shout and let them know the result." Wenger grinned sinisterly, looking cunning.

Pat Rice was a little bit incredulous, but quickly did as he was told.

Hooligans are not terrible, just because they are educated.

Wenger is playing hooligan with you, are you afraid?
In the stands, fans soon started shouting, Manchester United won.

At first there were only a few people shouting, but later more and more people started shouting.

On the field, the Bayswater Chinese players obviously heard it too.

Yang Cheng immediately shouted towards the court, signaling them to stay focused and not worry about anything else.

This made Wenger, who was sitting in the home team's coaching booth, couldn't help but laugh.

"Boy, you have come to this day!"

"As long as the Chinese in Bayswater are in chaos, we will have a chance."

Pat Rice nodded repeatedly.

At times like this, it's really easy for the army to lose morale.

Therefore, this will put the head coach's control over the team to an even greater test.

Without enough prestige, it is impossible to control the players.

However, from now on, it was Yang Cheng who stood on the sidelines to direct and order the players from beginning to end. It can be seen that the head coach of Bayswater Chinese is Yang Cheng, and not Brian Kidd in the outside conspiracy theories.

"You know what, Pat? Actually, we all admire him."

Wenger suddenly said this for no reason.

Pat Rice was a little surprised, "We?"

"Yes, me, and David."

Pat Rice knew that Wenger was talking about Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein.

"I had dinner with him once when they were still in the lower leagues. I was attracted by Ribery and invited him to dinner at a restaurant near my home in North London."

"At that time, he was not as high-spirited as he is now. I heard that he was in debt and the team was in a low level. Chelsea also took a fancy to their land. Everyone felt that they could not hold on."

It was not long after this incident that Pat Rice learned about the Chinese in Bayswater.

The media is now hyping up this club all day long, saying how legendary this club is.

It was almost publicized to the whole world.

"You know, I once told him, if you want to sell Ribery, tell me."

Wenger felt somewhat ashamed when he said this.

"I didn't expect that this bastard actually called me later and asked me if I wanted to buy it..."

At the end, Wenger couldn't help laughing.

At his age, shame and pride are no longer important.

What they actually get is what they value most.

Just like Ferguson, in order to score points and attack his opponents, he was willing to use his face to block bullets.

Did the media and fans ridicule him for anything?

"At the time, David and I both thought that he would sell the land of the stadium to Chelsea, so we made a contingency plan to prevent Chelsea from building a stadium there and what we should do."

Pat Rice knew about this.

But later, Chelsea repeatedly acquired it, but never succeeded. Now, the Chinese in Bayswater are going to start building it themselves.

Only Arsenal, who built a stadium themselves, know how difficult it is!
If even Arsenal find it difficult, then it must be even more difficult for the Chinese in Bayswater!

The most outrageous thing is that they even threatened to spend 10 billion pounds, which is simply too outrageous.

"No one thought that he could really bring Bayswater Chinese to the Premier League and even to the position they are in today."

Wenger's words were very sad.

The rise of the Chinese in Bayswater has had the greatest impact on Arsenal.

The most direct result is that the Gunners missed the Champions League.

But even so, as a competitor, Wenger still couldn't hate Yang Cheng and his team.

This is a very respectable opponent.

So did Ferguson.

"Do you think they can win the championship this season?" Pat Rice asked with concern.

He shouldn't have asked that.

Because Arsenal has always considered itself a strong team.

If I ask this question and it gets out, I will definitely be scolded to death by Arsenal fans.

But Pat Rice was curious.

"Impossible!" Wenger said without hesitation.

"why?"

Pat Rice was not surprised by the answer, but why Wenger was so determined?
Don't even hesitate for a moment?
"Do you know what's the most terrifying thing about old Ferguson?"

Before Pat Rice could answer, Wenger spoke first.

"His self-evolving learning ability? His outstanding tactical qualities? His incredible tactical understanding? Or his deployment of troops? His on-the-spot command?"

Wenger shook his head.

"His deployment of troops is not that strong. The old guy is a stubborn Scotsman at heart. Without Queiroz, he would have been destroyed by me, Mourinho and Benitez."

"But why has he been able to guarantee Manchester United's results over the years?"

"Because he is the symbol of Manchester United, the most powerful spiritual force!"

"The most direct manifestation of this force was the continuous defeats of powerful enemies and successive reversals in 99."

"Over the past few years, he has relied on this spiritual strength to lead Manchester United to great comebacks in the league time and time again."

"A lot of people would think I would be ashamed of losing to Manchester United, but I'm not."

"On the contrary, I feel that I am honored to be able to compete with such a head coach and even defeat him many times."

"Of course, I guess Ferguson sees me that way, to be honest."

At the end, Wenger smiled with pride.

"To fight against such an opponent, it's not just about strength, but also the team, everyone's mental will from top to bottom, the team's overall cohesion, and their willingness to fight for the team until the last moment."

"In comparison, factors such as strength, lineup and overall preparation are just a foundation."

When Pat Rice heard this, he immediately understood what Wenger meant.

"Do you think the Chinese in Bayswater are too young?"

"The players are young, and the head coach is even younger. Even if he has been coaching since he was born, he still doesn't have as long a coaching resume as Ferguson, not to mention that Ferguson was a professional player."

"When it came to the most critical moment, he couldn't hold on, and the Chinese in Bayswater couldn't hold on either."

Just like today's game.

But Wenger only said this last sentence in his heart and did not say it out loud.

This is because he always feels that villains always die because they talk too much.

Saying this more often might bring bad luck.

"Maybe in two years!"

But Wenger smiled and said, "But they may not have two years left."

Pat Rice knew what Wenger meant.

This is the consistent style of all top giants.

If I can’t beat you on the court, I will cripple you in the transfer market!
……

Yang Cheng started making substitutions from the 65th minute.

First Walcott, then Di Maria.

But this time the Argentine replaced Ashley Young.

Wenger was well prepared and made two substitutions in the 70th minute.

First, Diaby replaced Rosicky to strengthen the midfield's interception and defense.

Then Adebayor replaced Aaron Lennon, allowing Adebayor and Van Persie to form a double striker.

Both sides are making targeted substitutions.

This tit-for-tat competition makes it difficult for either side to create an absolute good opportunity.

Especially when Arsenal adopts a double defensive midfielder style, the midfield interception and defense become more solid.

Gilberto Silva and Diaby formed a wall, firmly blocking the outside of the penalty area.

This is also the biggest difference between Arsenal and Middlesbrough.

The Gunners have more overall strength.

In the 81st minute, Yang Cheng finally made the final substitution.

Dzeko replaced Skrtel.

Take out a center back and replace him with a center forward.

Wenger also made adjustments immediately, replacing Baptista with Senderos.

Arsenal replaced an attacking midfielder with a central defender.

This is also a targeted substitution.

The aim was to ensure the blockade of the Bayswater Chinese's double centre forwards.

After all, Kolo Toure and Gallas are not tall, and it is already a bit difficult for them to deal with Lambert.

If Dzeko comes on at this time, the pressure will be even greater.

So Wenger replaced Senderos and adopted three central defenders to block the double center forwards of the Bayswater Chinese.

After making the substitutions, Wenger returned to the coaching booth, waiting for the final whistle to sound.

But in the 84th minute, the Chinese in Bayswater launched another attack.

Leighton Baines made a forward run down the left and made some minor adjustments after receiving the pass from Modric outside Arsenal's 30-meter area.

After all his teammates in the frontcourt had pressed forward, he made a 45-degree diagonal pass.

Leighton Baines' crosses are always accurate.

This time is no exception.

The football drew an arc and landed at the top of the arc outside Arsenal's penalty area.

Dzeko rushed to the front and drew away Senderos and Gallas.

But Lambert suddenly retreated, blocked Kolo Toure with his body, and near the top of the arc he jumped up like an onion in dry land, facing the cross from Leighton Baines and touching it with his head.

The ball was touched by Lambert and passed directly behind the defense line, to the right side of the penalty area.

Before Clichy could react, Walcott passed by him like lightning, leaving the French defender no time to commit a foul.

Walcott made a diagonal run to the right side of the penalty area, just in time to catch up with Lambert's header, then turned sideways and stopped the ball with his chest.

When everyone thought that Walcott would shoot, the little tiger made a lob pass with his right foot.

The ball was lifted up again and fell to the middle.

At this time, everyone at Arsenal realized that the real danger was coming.

Dzeko used his body to push away Senderos and headed the ball from close range, directly hitting Walcott's lob into Arsenal's goal.

2 is better than 1!

At this moment, the entire Emirates Stadium fell silent.

A full 84 minutes!
“The Bayswater Chinese once again scored a goal at a crucial moment!!”

"Dzeko, who just came on as a substitute, scored with a header!"

"Oh my God, how many times has this happened?"

"Yang Cheng's on-the-spot command is so crucial. Every substitution he makes is so fatal!"

“This time, Walcott and Dzeko, who came on as substitutes, once again scored a crucial, timely and golden goal for Bayswater Chinese.”

"2 to 1!"

Wenger rushed out of the coaching bench as if he had been electrocuted almost the moment Dzeko scored the goal. He stood in front of the coaching bench in a daze, looking at the Chinese players of Bayswater running on the field. He didn't know how to react.

Another goal in the last few minutes of the game!

Another substitute player scored!

Why do he look so much like that damn old guy?

Wenger walked back to the coaching seat in a daze, and sat down as if he was exhausted.

He didn't want to get up until the game was over.

The villain really dies because he talks too much!

Even if you just keep it in your heart, it won’t work!

……

A last-minute goal!

The scorers are all players who came on as substitutes in the second half!
The difference is that Manchester United was leading 1-0 at Anfield and the goal was scored in the injury time.

The score was 2-1 for Bayswater Chinese at the Emirates Stadium, with the goal being scored a little earlier.

But the result is the same.

When the results of the 29th round came out, Premier League fans all over the world were excited again.

Too intense! Too tragic!

Both the Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United fought until the last minute.

Both teams encountered strong opponents away from home, but they both defeated their opponents tenaciously in the end.

Alan Hansen and Lineker both spoke highly of the two teams on the BBC's post-match football programme Match Day, believing that this season's Premier League has presented a fascinating championship race that has not been seen in the past few years.

"Relatively speaking, the level of Manchester United's stars is higher."

"C Ronaldo performed at a high level for two consecutive rounds. In this round, O'Shea's goal at the last minute came from Ronaldo's direct free kick, which caused Reina to lose the ball. O'Shea made a supplementary shot in the chaos."

"Looking at the recent games, Manchester United basically relied on the explosion of stars such as Ronaldo to win."

"The situation is different for the Chinese in Bayswater."

"This west London team relies more on the whole team."

"They have players like Arshavin, Dzeko and Ashley Young who have impressed us, but they don't have a top star like Ronaldo who has super strength."

"But precisely because of this, we realize how difficult it is for the Chinese in Bayswater. They represent the rise of the common people!"

But Lineker expressed a different view from Alan Hansen.

"You are absolutely right, but if they continue to play like this, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to make it to the end."

"The schedule is even more difficult for them because they have to play Tottenham and Liverpool next, and there are also two weeks of national team games. This will be a terrible nightmare for the Chinese in Bayswater."

"Although Manchester United also have an away game against Chelsea, we have to say that the challenge for Bayswater Chinese is more difficult and they may not last until the 34th round."

"But no matter what, the fact that Bayswater Chinese have been able to hold on until now and continue to lead the Premier League standings is already a very, very legendary thing."

"You know, two years ago, they were still in the Championship."

……

On March 3, in the second leg of the Champions League round of 6 knockout match, Bayswater Chinese played against Lyon at home.

Since they won the first leg 2-0 at home and had just fought hard against Arsenal last weekend, Yang Cheng had to adopt a rotation strategy to ensure that the players could perform better in the game.

But in the 8th minute of the game, Juninho scored a direct free kick into the goal of the Bayswater Chinese team.

1 is better than 0!

The Chinese in Bayswater fell in the blitzkrieg that they are best at!

Afterwards, no matter how the Chinese in Bayswater launched their offensive, and no matter how the more than 6 fans cheered at the top of their lungs, they were still unable to break through Lyon's goal.

In the league, we fought so hard that it affected our performance in the Champions League knockout rounds.

But the team always held on to the goal and did not lose any more balls.

We were one goal behind in the first half, and the situation did not improve after the change of sides in the second half.

But in the 61st minute, Yaya Toure made a straight pass, Arshavin successfully made an offside, broke into the penalty area and had a single shot, breaking Coupe's goal and successfully equalizing the score.

1 is better than 1!

This goal instantly ignited the passion of Wembley Stadium.

If it's 0-1, we can still advance based on the total score.

But the unbeaten record at home was broken.

Now, the home game is 1-1, which is acceptable to everyone.

The fans have also felt the team's struggles on all fronts over the past period of time.

Especially the league.

Manchester United is chasing closely behind, with only 1 point separating the two teams. Whoever makes a mistake will lose the championship.

This tense and stalemate contest, and the heavy pressure on the team, made all the fans feel the same.

But just when everyone thought it would be a draw, in the 82nd minute of the game, Dzeko pressed Chris with his body in the penalty area, and when he met Maicon's cross from the right and tried to turn around and shoot, he was held down by Chris in the penalty area.

The referee blew the whistle without hesitation.

Penalty kick!

Modric is the team's top penalty taker.

But this goal was not a crucial one and it was created by Dzeko, so Modric let Dzeko take the penalty himself.

The Bosnian center forward certainly won't be polite.

He took a deep breath, took a run-up, and then shot the ball into the goal with a clean volley.

Couperin even misjudged the direction.

2 is better than 1!

All the Bayswater Chinese fans who came to Wembley Stadium were very happy.

I originally thought a draw would be acceptable.

Unexpectedly, I won!

With a total score of 4-1, the team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
……

Manchester United beat Lille 1-0 at home, winning both games and advancing to the quarterfinals with a total score of 2-0.

Liverpool lost 0-1 to Barcelona at home, but eliminated Barcelona with the advantage of away goals by winning 2-1 away from home, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

切尔西则是客场1比1，主场2比1，总比分3比2晋级八强。

All four Premier League teams advanced to the quarterfinals, occupying half of the Champions League quarterfinals!

The other four teams are AC Milan and Roma from Serie A, Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga, and Valencia from La Liga.

In the end, when the draw took place, the Chinese team from Bayswater drew AC Milan, led by Kaka.

This also made Yang Cheng feel a mountain of pressure.

According to the schedule, the two rounds of the quarter-finals will be held on April 4 and April 3 respectively.

Before the 3rd, in the 31st round of the Premier League, exactly two weeks after the national team match day, the team challenged Tottenham Hotspur away.

After that we will play Liverpool at home.

That is to say, in that short week, the team had to play three games, all against strong opponents.

Around the 10th, they played Charlton away in the 33rd round and Fulham at home in the 34th round.

What really worries Yang Cheng is the first round.

What’s even worse is that the first round is at home.

The schedule of playing at home first and away later was not a big deal originally, but now it is a death warrant.

……

This weekend, in the sixth round of the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese will challenge Blackburn Rovers away.

Yang Cheng still went north with an all-young and substitute lineup.

But despite this, Yang Cheng still refused to give in.

When interviewed by media reporters, Yang Cheng repeatedly emphasized that he firmly believes in the young players in the team and believes that they will be able to put on a satisfactory performance on the road.

“I know Mark Hughes’ side have been very good this season but we have a lot of young talent at the back.”

"We won't give up any game easily, even if it's just a cup match."

“We will all give it our all, that’s our style!”

Yang Cheng encouraged the young players in the team, hoping that they could give their best performance and prove it to everyone.

And it turns out that this group of young players did perform very well.

The team suppressed Blackburn throughout the game, with the young players attacking Blackburn's defense again and again.

Mark Hughes' team is nicknamed Violent Ben and plays very aggressively.

They received three yellow cards in the first half.

But in the 28th minute, they took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt, and center back Mokoena scored to give Blackburn the lead.

But in the 65th minute of the second half, Mokoena received a second yellow card and was sent off directly with a red card.

With one more man, the Chinese in Bayswater began to increase their offensive intensity and launched a fierce attack on Blackburn.

This group of young players saw opportunities and hope.

In the last half hour, Mark Hughes almost mobilized the entire team to defend inside and outside the penalty area, completely gave up on the attack, and stubbornly defended the score of 1-0.

In the end, this group of young people from Bayswater failed to beat their opponents away from home.

0-1, Bayswater Chinese were eliminated from the FA Cup.

……

After being eliminated from the FA Cup, many media began to hype that Bayswater Chinese would be like Arsenal before, collapsing on one front and quickly dragging down other fronts.

Especially the league.

In the 30th round of the Premier League, we faced Portsmouth at home.

Yang Cheng's team did encounter tenacious sniping from their opponents.

The Pompeii Legion adopted a 442 double defensive midfielder tactic, which clearly showed that they were determined to defend the situation.

Although Yang Cheng let the main players of the team rest for a week, he still couldn't come up with a better solution when facing Portsmouth's iron defense and could only press forward step by step.

On the other side, in a match held one day earlier than the Bayswater Chinese, Manchester United beat Bolton 4-1 at home.

This again brought tremendous pressure to the team.

The stalemate lasted until the 81st minute.

After Las Diarra intercepted the opponent's pass in the frontcourt, he first passed the ball to Arshavin and then quickly moved forward.

The Russian came under defensive pressure and passed the ball to Dzeko.

The Bosnian center forward received the ball with his back to the goal, and after seeing Las Diarra, he chose to pass it back.

The Frenchman entered the penalty area and volleyed the ball.

The football hit the right post and went into the net.

1 is better than 0!

This was also the only goal in the game.

Las Diarra has scored two Premier League goals this season, and unexpectedly he brought the team valuable three points this time.

After the game, Yang Cheng also praised Las Diarra highly.

……

After the 30th round of the Premier League, national team players from all levels left the team one after another and reported to the national team.

This also made Yang Cheng very worried.

With the rise of Chinese players in Bayswater, there are more and more international players in the team.

Walcott was selected for the England U21 national youth team, and Gareth Bale was even recruited into the Welsh national team by Toshack as early as last year.

Due to the schedule of the European Cup qualifiers, some national teams including England, France and Croatia will have to play two games in the national team training in March, but some national teams only need to play one game.

Unfortunately, most of Bayswater Chinese internationals only played two games.

In addition, the international players from South America and Africa have to travel long distances and run back and forth, which consumes a lot of energy on the journey.

As soon as they all report back to the club, it will be the 31st round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese are visiting White Hart Lane this time.

As a result, Yang Cheng's team fired 21 shots on the road but repeatedly wasted opportunities.

These included two hits on the post, one one-on-one opportunity, and one goal being called offside.

On the contrary, in the 44th minute, just before the end of the game, Tottenham striker Robbie Keane counterattacked and scored a goal.

Even though Yang Cheng made continuous substitutions in the second half and even scored a goal, he was called offside.

In the end, the miraculous reversal failed to happen again.

They didn't even equalize the score.

0-1, Bayswater Chinese were defeated at White Hart Lane.

On the other hand, Manchester United defeated Blackburn 4-4 at home with four goals in the second half.
