I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 124: The genius flash of the Community Shield! Mourinho still can't last more than 3 years! [Subscribe]

"I am proud of my work at Chelsea."

"I think the decision I made in 2004 to come to England was a great one!"

“It was a wonderful golden period in my coaching career.”

"I want to thank all the Chelsea fans, the love between us will never end."

"I also wish the club great success in the future!"

"I wish all the players happiness in their football career and family life!"

……

"Thank you to all the Chelsea fans!"

"We are saddened that Jose Mourinho has decided to leave Chelsea after his enormous contribution to the club and English football."

"Today, we announce that Chelsea and Jose Mourinho have, by mutual consent, terminated their managerial contract."

"In the past few months, we have had some differences and all parties have made a lot of efforts, but many things have not been effectively resolved."

"Avram Grant and Steve Clarke will officially take over the team today."

……

Chelsea and Mourinho simultaneously released two open letters to fans.

This immediately caused shock throughout Britain, Europe, and even the world.

As early as the end of last year, when Chelsea suffered a 0-5 defeat to Bayswater Chinese at home, the British media were hyping that the Portuguese madman would be sacked.

Even during the winter transfer break, the media revealed that Abramovich called off some transfers, saying he would wait until the end of the season and after a new coach was appointed before making a decision.

But somehow, Mourinho stayed.

It is reported that several head coaches originally favored by Abramovich were unable to coach Chelsea.

All in all, there are all kinds of opinions.

In the end, Mourinho stayed.

But even so, Chelsea is still in turmoil.

The first to be hit was Shevchenko.

As the biggest star in Chelsea, Ukrainian Warhead is the superstar that Chelsea focuses on promoting.

The Blues spent so much money to introduce Shevchenko with the aim of enhancing the team's influence.

But what about Mourinho?

Since the start of his trip to the United States, he has given Shevchenko the cold shoulder.

In the end, he was simply not included in the roster.

This attitude is already obvious.

It is reported that the management team, including Peter Kenyon, are very dissatisfied with Mourinho's decision.

The biggest star is stuck on the bench and can't even make the roster?
Does this sound like a word?

Mourinho responded by saying that Drogba was in very good form.

The Ivorians have scored goals consecutively in the past few warm-up matches and have been unstoppable.

Previously, the Daily Mail, which has close ties with the Chelsea locker room, revealed a piece of news that Chelsea executives believed that Mourinho was deliberately creating an illusion to make everyone believe that Shevchenko and Drogba could not coexist.

This becomes a suspicion that is difficult to disprove.

Drogba's tactical role is obvious to all, but the Ivorian does not have the influence and commercial value of Shevchenko.

Originally, the coexistence of two superstars was the best outcome for Chelsea.

But now, only one of the two can be kept.

Isn’t this ridiculous?

As a result, some media began to point the finger at Mourinho as the cause of the conflict.

Mourinho ultimately didn't last more than three years.

……

"It's a coincidence that this conflict broke out."

In the coach's office at Bayswater Stadium, Brian Kidd sorted out the intelligence from Chelsea.

"Chelsea have been plagued by injuries since the start of preparations this summer. Up to now, Makelele and Terry are both recovering from injuries."

It is understandable that Makelele is prone to injuries as he is old.

Terry was injured in training and is expected to be out for at least a month.

"Drogba also played in the warm-up match against Brondby a few days ago and scored a goal, but he had some pain in his knee after the game. After the team doctor's diagnosis, he thought it would only take a few days for him to recover and be able to catch up with the Community Shield."

"But as the Community Shield approaches, Drogba has been unable to return from injury, striker Pizarro, who just joined from Bayern Munich this summer, is also injured, and Shevchenko himself has a minor injury. Chelsea's forward injuries are out of control."

"After further diagnosis of Drogba, the preliminary conclusion is that the Ivorian will definitely not be able to catch up with the Community Shield, and whether he can catch up with the first and second rounds of the new season is a question."

"So Mourinho got furious and wanted to fire the team doctor on the spot."

Yang Cheng shook his head after hearing this.

How bad is Chelsea's situation right now?
I'm afraid the fans can't imagine it, and the media is unlikely to report it.

This season's two new signings, Malouda and Pizarro, came from Lyon and Bayern respectively.

But when they arrived, both of them were found to be injured.

Pizarro is recovering from his injury, but Malouda can still hold on.

Currently in the Chelsea team, Kalou, Makelele, Bridge, Ballack and Terry are all recovering from injuries.

Malouda, Essien and Lampard also played with injuries.

This situation is simply unimaginable.

So much so that Mourinho once pointed the finger at Chelsea's uniform team in an interview, believing that they were responsible for the team's current wave of injuries.

What about Chelsea's management?

On the contrary, they believe that it is Mourinho's training that has problems, which leads to such serious injuries.

Yang Cheng stands from a third-party perspective that is not neutral but relatively objective. In fact, both sides have problems.

It is an objective fact that many of Chelsea's players are older.

It is an indisputable fact that the uniform team failed to recruit players well and the team doctor made a problem in the diagnosis.

Mourinho's training methods and game tactics are very physically demanding for the players.

There was no problem in the past two years, but now, as I get older, problems are constantly emerging.

Drogba's injury seemed to be an outlet for all parties to vent their long-accumulated conflicts.

So, Mourinho resigned and Chelsea did not try to keep him.

This is the problem that Yang Cheng has been avoiding.

When a club has this kind of internal conflicts that continue to cause friction and are not resolved and resolved in a timely manner, there will definitely be very serious consequences in the end.

For Chelsea, encountering such problems before the start of the season, especially Mourinho's departure, is definitely a heavy blow!
Avram Grant had some talent, but not much.

It all depends on whether he can tidy up the locker room at the beginning of the season.

……

Mourinho's resignation is indeed a big event for the Premier League.

Head coaches including Yang Cheng, Ferguson, Wenger, Benítez and others have come forward to give him high praise, believing that his departure is a loss to the Premier League.

Ferguson had a very good relationship with him and directly criticized Chelsea's approach, believing that it lacked respect for the head coach.

Of course, Yang Cheng didn't know whether Ferguson intended to take advantage of the opportunity to attack his competitors.

Judging from the current situation, Manchester United has the best schedule in this season's Premier League.

Moreover, Ferguson also introduced a group of high-level players, and the overall strength was strengthened.

The Red Devils' godfather is obviously also ambitious and wants to make a comeback and compete for the Premier League title.

The Chinese at Bayswater sold four key players, and their overall strength has certainly declined, but their main lineup is also maturing further.

So, for now, no one knows how this team will perform.

Yang Cheng was certainly still ambitious to the outside world, but he was not so sure in his heart.

The league is so long, who knows what will happen?
If there is a wave of injuries like the one Chelsea suffered, even God cannot help.

No team would reserve a large roster of players to prevent this kind of injury wave that almost no one knows when it will occur and only occurs once every few years.

This is unhealthy and unrealistic.

For Bayswater Chinese, if there is a shortcoming, it is that the first team's substitute lineup is relatively young.

But it doesn't matter.

Spend more time and these players will be trained slowly.

The situations of Arsenal and Liverpool are different from those of the previous three teams.

The more pragmatic goal for these two teams is to reach the top four in the league.

After finishing fifth in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, Wenger is now determined to give it a try.

The Guardian has already reported on Arsenal's financial crisis.

Everyone also saw the dilemma faced by the Gunners.

This is a vicious cycle that is difficult to resolve.

All I can say is that Arsenal has really shouldered too much for this new stadium.

However, with the media reports, many Arsenal fans have become aware of the club's crisis and have become more tolerant of the possible entry of foreign capital or even the acquisition of Arsenal.

There are many clubs in the Premier League today that are owned by foreign capital.

Bayswater Chinese was bought by a consortium from China; Chelsea was bought by Abramovich of Russia; Manchester United was bought by the Glazer family of the United States.

In February 2007, Gillette and Hicks from the United States jointly acquired Liverpool.

The total acquisition amount reached 4.7 million pounds.

Just this summer, the two Americans also proposed building a new stadium that could accommodate 8 people.

But compared with the positive reviews the Chinese in Bayswater received, the two of them were mostly ridiculed and mocked.

The man behind the Pompey Legion Portsmouth is an Israeli of Russian descent; behind West Ham United are Icelandic tycoons Magnusson and Gudmundsson.

Fulham was acquired by foreign capital even earlier, in 1997 by Egyptian Fayed for 3200 million pounds.

And Aston Villa was acquired by American Lerner.

Birmingham, the newly promoted team this season, was also acquired by a gambling industry owner from Hong Kong, China in July this year, but he only paid 7 million pounds for 1500% of the shares.

Later, former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin bought Manchester City.

That is to say, out of the 20 Premier League teams, 10 are currently controlled by foreign capital.

This is just the beginning.

Now, Kroenke of the United States and Usmanov of Russia both want to acquire Arsenal, and Daniel Williams, a wealthy American, is planning to acquire Blackburn.

If both deals go through, the number of foreign owners in the Premier League will reach 12.

Of course, Yang Cheng was not surprised by this situation and even felt accustomed to it.

But for everyone in Britain right now, especially in English football, it is shocking.

My mood is also very contradictory.

This contradiction is exactly the same as Arsenal’s current situation.

On the one hand, they are well aware that they have no ability to change the status quo or break the deadlock.

If Arsenal continues to drag it out like this, they will just keep selling their captain and players.

As revenue from the Premier League broadcasting rights continues to rise, the Gunners' financial situation will gradually improve, but how many years will it take?

Yang Cheng knows, do these people now know?

Nobody knows!
If Arsenal cannot predict the future, then they will have only two options: either become a declining giant like Newcastle.

Or sell yourself.

But when it comes to selling one's body, many people feel uncomfortable and unable to accept it.

Just like Arsenal's chairman Hill-Wood and others, they are clearly coveting other people's money, but they still pretend that others are begging them.

This is the contradiction and entanglement facing many English people at the moment.

……

March 8st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

Community Shield, Bayswater Chinese vs Chelsea.

Yang Cheng followed the players of the two teams into Wembley Stadium.

Instead of going to the visiting team's coaching booth, he went straight to the home team's coaching booth and shook hands with Avram Grant who was standing in front of him.

The two were actually not familiar with each other. They just exchanged a few words and then Yang Cheng returned to the visiting team's coaching bench.

Although tonight's game is held at Wembley Stadium, it is an FA match and Bayswater Chinese are the visiting team.

It’s a bit strange when you think about it.

But when he raised his head and looked at the fans in the stadium, he felt emotional again.

More than 8 people!
A total of more than 8!

My god, if Bayswater Chinese can seat 8 people for every game, how much money can they make?
I won’t talk about the VIP box, let’s just talk about the game tickets.

We will not raise ticket prices, the average is 40 pounds, which means 320 million pounds for one game.

There are at least 22 games in a season, which costs 7 million pounds.

It’s exciting just to think about it.

But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

Although Bayswater Chinese won the Premier League title last season, their season ticket sales only exceeded 4.

Manchester United and Arsenal had already sold out 60,000 to 70,000 tickets.

Comparing people to each other makes people angry!
"What are you thinking about?"

Brian Kidd was a little puzzled. He watched Yang Cheng walking towards him. He looked behind him, then looked across at him. His expression kept changing. It felt quite strange.

Did he have a quarrel with Grant?

"Nothing, I was just wondering, when can we get 8 of them?"

Brian Kidd couldn't help laughing.

Only at this time did he notice that Yang Cheng was really a young man.

Sometimes it's really whimsical.

"In European football, how many stadiums can accommodate 8 people? Besides, isn't our new stadium designed to accommodate 6.5 people?"

Yang Cheng looked at Brian Kidd with a bit of disdain and sighed again.

"Brian, you are just too old to even have the courage to dream anymore."

Before Brian Kidd could retort, Yang Cheng silenced him with just one sentence.

"If we can get 8 fans in the stadium, do you believe it or not, I can ask Norman Foster to create a stadium with 8 people for me?"

"How?" Brian Kidd laughed. He certainly didn't believe it.

This is not realistic.

"Can I tell you this?" Yang Cheng chuckled.

What he actually wanted to say was: This is why I am the boss and you can only be an employee.

I don’t know how to change.

But I just want Norman Foster to change me.

How did it change?
Party B finds a solution.

Brian Kidd obviously took Yang Cheng's words as a joke.

They both looked towards the direction of the court.

The guessing is done.

Modric won, so he chose the side that was in his favor.

It is now 15: p.m. and the sun is setting.

Chelsea's starting lineup tonight is 433, which should be the inheritance of the lineup that Mourinho put together in the summer.

Goalkeeper: Cech;
Defence: Ashley Cole, Ben Haim, Carvalho and Glen Johnson;
Midfield: Mikel is in the back, Lampard and Essien are in the middle;
Forwards: Malouda, Shevchenko and Wright-Phillips.

It can be seen from this starting lineup that Chelsea’s injury situation is indeed not optimistic.

This season's Premier League will start on August 8, which is next weekend.

Therefore, for both participating teams, the Community Shield is essentially a warm-up match with higher gold content and training value.

This time, Yang Cheng did not rotate the players like he did in previous warm-up matches, but played with the main lineup.

Goalkeeper: Neuer;

Defense: Marcelo, Jose Fonte, Pepe and Maicon;

Midfield: Yaya Toure in the back, Modric and Las Diarra in the middle;

Forwards: Di Maria, Dzeko and Arshavin.

Except for Leighton Baines who was absent due to injury and Marcelo taking his place in the starting lineup, the other positions are basically the main lineup of Bayswater Chinese in the new season.

Judging from the current overall performance, Di Maria is still slightly better in the left position.

Gareth Bale and Walcott can both play, and these two players will also be the focus of Yang Cheng's continued training.

On the front line, Dzeko has already established himself as a main player, and Lewandowski also performed well in the warm-up match.

With these two major competitors, Lambert's situation would probably be rather embarrassing.

As Brian Kidd said.

Lambert followed the team all the way from League Two to the Premier League, and then to the current Premier League champions.

This is already his limit.

Yang Cheng also gave preferential treatment to these loyal followers who followed him all the way.

Next up will be players like Thiago Silva, Jose Fonte and Koscielny.

If the Portuguese central defender loses the competition or even loses his starting position, Yang Cheng will still keep him in the team.

It's really useful to have such a player in the locker room.

……

As soon as the game started, the Chinese from Bayswater took the initiative to attack.

The trident led by Di Maria, Dzeko and Arshavin took turns attacking Chelsea's defense.

The Blues had just experienced a change of coach and the team's lineup was seriously incomplete, so they took a relatively safe start.

The fight between the two sides was fierce, but the pace was as fast as ever.

After all, this was the first game of the new season. Both teams were obviously unable to kick on and were still recovering.

For example at the 7th minute.

After Las Diarra intercepted the ball in the midfield, he passed the ball behind his back.

When Arshavin chased after him, he was blocked by Ashley Cole.

Chelsea's left-back originally wanted to use his body to block Arshavin, but somehow, both of them fell to the right side of Chelsea's 30-meter area.

Before falling to the ground, Ashley Cole reacted quickly and kicked the ball out of bounds in time.

Later, when Mikel passed the ball back to the goalkeeper, he obviously hesitated and the pass went too far towards Dzeko.

The Bosnian center was tall and had long legs. He reacted quickly and tripped the opponent.

In his haste, he failed to intercept the ball.

By the time they chased into the penalty area again, Cech had already taken the lead and got the ball.

All signs indicate that the players of both teams are not in good shape.

Chelsea's first relatively threatening attack came in the 18th minute.

Wright-Phillips tried to break through with the ball but was entangled by Modric and Marcelo, so he passed the ball straight behind Marcelo.

Shevchenko quickly moved to the side and tried to break through Jose Fonte when receiving the ball, but was brilliantly tackled by the Portuguese.

This wonderful tackle won Jose Fonte warm applause.

Yang Cheng also kept clapping.

Jose Fonte is an amazing person.

He gives people the feeling that he is very mature, even very old.

But in fact, he is only 23 years old.

Smaller than Pepe.

Yang Cheng felt that Jose Fonte did not experience the twists and turns of his previous life. Instead, he had been training with the Chinese in Bayswater, and his overall strength was stronger than in his previous life.

Plus, at the age of 23, his future will definitely be bigger and stronger than his previous life.

As for Marcelo.

It is normal to be bad at defending. It is abnormal for a Brazilian full-back to defend too well.

As for why Yang Cheng didn't buy Alves and chose Marcelo...

Needless to say?

Of course it’s cheap!

If Alves wanted to sell Marcelo for the same price as Maicon, Yang Cheng would do it without any hesitation.

But whether it is Alves or Marcelo, there is actually a problem.

If this team's offense cannot suppress the opponent, then the defense on this side will probably be beaten badly.

After watching the game for 20 minutes, Yang Cheng noticed that Glen Johnson on Chelsea's right often lost his position and was always too forward.

Speaking of which, this kid is not young anymore, he is 23 years old, but he is still rash when playing football.

This is a common problem among young players in England.

They have done a poor job in developing the tactical qualities of their young players.

The simplest example is that Di Maria is faster than Gareth Bale and Walcott in adapting to multiple positions.

Even going a little further, why can't Gerrard and Lampard coexist in the national team?
In addition to the fact that both players tried hard to accommodate each other, is it also because of their lack of tactical qualities that caused them to only be functional players and unable to become the core of the team's midfield?

Therefore, the Chinese in Bayswater have also begun to pay attention to this aspect in youth training.

Yang Cheng also recruited many outstanding youth training coaches from Italy.

Even the first team has Italian coaches, and young players such as Gareth Bale and Walcott receive regular tactical training.

But Glen Johnson's problem is the opportunity for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Yang Cheng immediately walked to the sidelines and conveyed his instructions to Modric.

……

The Chinese in Bayswater want to attack Chelsea's right side, but why don't Chelsea want to attack behind Marcelo?

The Brazilian actively participated in the attack after the opening and was very active.

In the 24th minute, Essien tried to pass the ball behind Marcelo.

But before Wright-Phillips could rush forward, Jose Fonte stepped forward and intercepted the ball.

Jose Fonte intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Marcelo.

The Brazilian took a step forward, looked ahead, and immediately made a straight pass along the left sideline.

Glen Johnson pressed forward to the Bayswater Chinese team's half, and was obviously still hesitating whether to press Marcelo, when he suddenly found that his back was stolen.

Then he saw Di Maria, wearing a red jersey, sprinting behind him at a very fast speed.

Glen Johnson immediately realized that something was wrong and ran back quickly.

The English defender is not slow, but Di Maria is very fast.

Even when the Argentine had the ball, Glen Johnson couldn’t catch up to Di Maria.

Even when Di Maria rushed to the left side of the penalty area, Glen Johnson was still slightly behind.

Fortunately, Carvalho chased closely all the way and blocked the inside, preventing Di Maria from entering the penalty area.

But Di Maria did not continue to fight, but sent a low cross with his left foot.

The football was almost sticking to the grass as it was passed horizontally from the left side of the penalty area.

Dzeko just deliberately slowed down.

He knew that his speed was not an advantage and he might not be able to catch up, so he chose to slow down and attract Ben Haim and Mikel.

When Di Maria made the cross, everyone's attention was on Dzeko who was receiving the ball in the middle.

But at this time, the Bosnian center had just reached the outside of the arc top area.

Crisis resolved?

Do not!
The next second, a red figure rushed into everyone's sight.

Arshavin made a high-speed run forward, rushed all the way to the right corner of the small penalty area, caught up with Di Maria's cross pass, and shot with his right foot without stopping the ball.

Ashley Cole was the quickest to respond.

He turned around and chased after him immediately.

Especially when he saw Malouda behind him trying to defend all the way but couldn't stop Arshavin, he realized that something was wrong and immediately threw himself out, trying to slide and intercept to block Arshavin's shot.

slow!

The Russian pushed the ball with his right foot and sent it accurately into the goal guarded by Cech.

No matter how amazing the Czech goalkeeper is, he is really helpless in the face of such a close, ground-level shot.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Andrey Arshavin!!"

"In the 24th minute of the game, the Chinese from Bayswater took the lead in breaking Chelsea's goal!"

"Goal from Russian star Arshavin!"

"1 to 0!"

"The Bayswater Chinese counterattacked very quickly this time."

"Especially on the left side, which was the starting point of this counterattack, Di Maria dribbled the ball very quickly, and Chelsea's defense had no time to organize the defense."

"Compared to Ashley Young last season, Di Maria's fast speed and sharp breakthroughs, especially his left-footed crosses, really show us another way of attacking on the left side of Bayswater Chinese."

"Chelsea were obviously caught off guard."

"In fact, even if it wasn't Glen Johnson, but Ferreira, it would be difficult to stop Di Maria's attack."

"Now, Grant needs to think about this carefully."

……

"Listen, brother, you are so much more talented than me, your team is better than mine, and the head coach trusts you so much. You should work harder and try harder. You can achieve things that you can't even imagine!"

This is what Kolo Toure, the elder brother who plays for Arsenal, said to his younger brother when the Toure brothers returned to Côte d'Ivoire for vacation this summer.

He felt that his brother was still a little lazy and had not fully exploited his talents.

Kolo Toure is 2 years older than Yaya Toure.

Since childhood, Yaya Toure has been practicing football with his brother, and the two brothers always work hard together.

Even after his brother joined Arsenal, he never forgot to find opportunities to bring his younger brother to Wenger for a trial.

As a result, Wenger didn't like it.

After several twists and turns, Yaya Toure finally landed in the Premier League and made a name for himself.

He used to be extremely envious of his brother and always looked up to him.

But now, he has become the person his brother looks up to.

This made Yaya Toure feel full of a sense of accomplishment!

But after experiencing the experience of the Premier League, especially the baptism of the Champions League, he is no longer satisfied with the status quo.

At only 24 years old, he feels that he has not yet reached his peak!
He was eager to prove himself further.

Whether it is in the Premier League, the Champions League, or even the Africa Cup and the World Cup.

He still remembers the scene when he lost the African Cup final in the 06 penalty shootout; he also remembers how he felt when he lost the Champions League at the San Siro last season...

He didn't want to repeat all of this again.

He wants to become stronger!
Even, become the strongest!
The head coach once told him that he is the strongest midfielder in the world!

He still clearly remembered the English grammar used by the head coach when he said this.

Not future tense.

Yang Cheng is talking about now!

This summer, Bayswater Chinese also signed a new professional contract with him.

Weekly salary: £4.

Although it is not too high compared with other teams, it is already the highest salary for the Chinese in Bayswater.

So this summer, during the team training, Yaya Toure also trained very hard.

He wants to take his career to the next level!
Because the head coach also said that he can be even stronger!

During the game, he was also determined to change some of his past football habits, began to discipline himself, and tried to make himself more focused and more involved in the game.

This gave him a deeper understanding of football and a deeper control over the game situation.

For example, in the 37th minute, when Marcelo dribbled the ball along the left sideline, Yaya Toure just glanced ahead and found that Di Maria was moving towards the middle. He immediately moved slightly to the left and no longer moved forward easily.

Because he has to be in a position to receive the pass at all times.

Under normal circumstances, he would have rushed forward without hesitation.

But now, he will first think about whether there is a need to advance?
Moreover, as his game experience grew, he gradually discovered that, in many cases, he did not necessarily have to move forward to achieve results.

Marcelo and Di Maria's cooperation on the left did not pose any threat.

Wright-Phillips returned to defense, and together with Essien and Glen Johnson, the three formed a numerical advantage on Chelsea's right.

Although Modric also came over to support, he still failed to break through.

Essien grabbed the ball and kicked it forward with a big foot.

It's a bit of a pity.

The ball will be there if we just pass it.

Just that little bit!
Yaya Toure sighed and hurried to the middle.

Because he saw that Essien's clearance fell into his area.

When Chelsea came under offensive pressure, the midfield and flanks retreated further back, leaving only Malouda on the left and striker Shevchenko in front.

Ukrainians are more likely to be in the front.

Yaya Toure received the ball when no one was guarding him.

Of course, at this time, he was already standing in the center circle of his own half.

After stopping the ball, the Ivorian looked ahead.

He found that when he started to pay attention, he was often able to notice some details that he would easily overlook on a normal day.

For example, at this moment, he saw that Chelsea's defensive formation, which had just tilted towards the right, was gradually pulling back.

The most obvious is the positions of Mikel and Carvalho, who both returned to the center.

But Marcelo is still in Chelsea's half.

And Di Maria, he's still there too.

A light bulb suddenly flashed through Yaya Toure's mind.

He realized it was a possibility, but he didn't know if it would work.

This was something he had never experienced before.

He decided to give it a try.

After stopping the ball, Yaya Toure suddenly made a long diagonal pass and kicked the ball to the left.

The arc of this long diagonal pass was relatively low and the speed of the ball was quite fast, but he controlled the height well and it just went over the heads of Essien and Wright-Phillips.

The two Chelsea players must have felt very upset.

Damn it, you’re bullying us because we’re short, right?
The ball fell to the left of Chelsea's defense.

Marcelo quickly shook off Wright-Phillips, took two steps forward, and just caught up with the landing point.

The Brazilian full-back's footwork was on display at this moment.

Marcelo raised the inside of his left foot to stop the ball.

The first time, the ball bounced slightly, but landed steadily in front of Marcelo.

Just this one stop of the ball would make countless professional players feel ashamed.

The second time, the Brazilian pushed the ball, which had stopped but not yet hit the grass, to Di Maria who was running over to the middle to receive the ball.

Both actions were so fast and done in one go that neither Essien, who was chasing after him, nor Wright-Phillips behind him could stop him from passing the ball.

After passing the ball, Marcelo called out to Di Maria and ran forward quickly.

Di Maria had almost no hesitation and followed Marcelo's pass with his left foot.

It was a direct two-pass and hit the wall.

The ball passed behind Essien and beside Glen Johnson and rolled to the left baseline.

Marcelo quickly caught up and there were no defensive players around him.

Ben Haim rushed out quickly and tried to intercept Marcelo.

But the Brazilian full-back didn't even wait for him to get close and kicked the ball in with his left foot.

And it was a high ball.

The landing point is just in front of the small penalty area.

When the ball arrives, Dzeko arrives!
The Bosnian center forward took advantage of a running start and jumped high into the air, making his already tall stature even more muscular.

Carvalho stood beside him, raised his head in despair, and watched the Bosnian center forward head the ball into the goal guarded by Cech.

"The ball goes in again!!!"

"2 to 0!!"

"A great one-two from two South Americans!"

"beautiful!"

"This little technique is very skillful, and it's obviously the style of play of Latin American players."

"Such a small combination is extremely rare in the Premier League, especially the one where Marcelo stopped the ball for Di Maria."

"Although Marcelo's physical confrontation ability is very weak, we have to admit that his technique is indeed very delicate."

"And, of course, that long pass from Yaya Toure."

……

Yang Cheng was standing on the sidelines, and when he saw this goal, he was completely stunned.

It wasn't the cooperation between Marcelo and Di Maria, nor was it Dzeko's header.

This kind of technical cooperation among South American players is not uncommon in the Bayswater Chinese team.

This is how they often play indoor football.

What surprised Yang Cheng was Yaya Toure.

There's something wrong with this script!

"There seems to be something wrong with this kid!" Yang Cheng was very surprised.

Brian Kidd felt the same way, "Does it feel a bit like the core of the organization?"

Yang Cheng immediately laughed, "Yes, I even suspected that I had seen it wrong."

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

Fans will surely be fascinated by the cooperation between Marcelo and Di Maria.

This is true in itself.

It is indeed very ornamental.

However, the most crucial part of this attack was Yaya Toure's long diagonal pass.

"If it was before, he would have chosen to carry the ball forward, then rush to the front of the penalty area, or even into the penalty area. This is the Yaya Toure we are familiar with."

The long diagonal pass just now was obviously not the case.

At that time, Chelsea's defense was moving, so he deliberately passed the ball to the left again, and it was a long diagonal pass, which Chelsea's defensive players could not expect.

Of course, Marcelo and Di Maria also performed well.

Especially Marcelo's stop.

This kid is just a little weak, otherwise, Yang Cheng would have wanted to make him the main force.

"He's improved and matured!" Brian Kidd said with satisfaction.

Yang Cheng knew that he was talking about Yaya Toure.

"The long diagonal pass just now was very skillful, accurate and fast enough."

When Yang Cheng said this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

We can finally play long pass!

In the past, Modric and Inler were also able to make long passes, but their positions were relatively forward.

If Yaya Toure can really develop an accurate long pass in this position, his lethality will be very great.

But what made Yang Cheng most gratified was Yaya Toure's interpretation of the game and his control of the situation.

This means that he really put his heart into it.

I have really made progress.

Of course, it may just be a flash of inspiration now.

The key is to see in the next period of time whether this flash of inspiration, which sometimes works but sometimes doesn't, can be transformed into stable performance.

But no matter what, Yang Cheng was very happy to see the players' progress.

This is more valuable than a Community Shield!
……

With the Chinese players from Bayswater scoring two goals in a row, Chelsea have felt the threat from the opponent's sharp attack.

As the TV commentator said.

Although the Bayswater Chinese sold Ashley Young and Leighton Baines was injured and unable to play, Di Maria and Marcelo's left-wing attack still posed a threat in this game.

On the other hand, Chelsea's right-wing attack consisting of Glen Johnson and Wright Phillips failed to pose much threat and instead encountered continuous problems on the defensive end.

With the team trailing by two goals, Grant's priority was defense.

So, Chelsea started to shrink again.

The first half ended with 2-0.

After the change of sides, Chelsea wanted to launch an offensive.

But in the 49th minute, it was Di Maria again and Marcelo again.

The Brazilian left-back supported Di Maria on the left, who dribbled past Glen Johnson and made a cross.

As a result, Arshavin shot in the penalty area, but was saved by Cech.

The Czech goalkeeper is not made of paper.

This save was brilliant.

Afterwards, the Bayswater Chinese continued to intensify their offensive, trying to further expand the score.

Chelsea, on the other hand, set up their camp tightly and adopted a defensive counterattack style of play.

In the 55th minute, Grant made a substitution, trying to replace Malouda, who was not performing well, with Pizarro.

The Frenchman failed to perform well in this game due to the restrictions of Maicon.

After the substitution, Chelsea started to play 442 with two strikers.

Yang Cheng made two consecutive substitutions in the 65th and 70th minutes.

The twin stars Gareth Bale and Walcott came on as substitutes again.

This has become a habitual operation.

As early as last season, whenever the Chinese at Bayswater established a leading advantage, Yang Cheng would pull the two little guys onto the court to practice, and they would occasionally have an eye-catching performance.

Such as this time.

In the 73rd minute, Gareth Bale successfully broke through the offside trap on the left and received a through pass from Modric.

Who is Gareth Bale?

He and Di Maria have two completely different styles.

If Di Maria is a spiritual South American small forward, then Gareth Bale is a rampaging English truck.

Just as he caught up with the ball and saw Ben Haim rushing out, Gareth Bale didn't care about anything and just passed the ball by himself, instantly leaving the Chelsea center back behind, so far that he couldn't even see his taillights.

But after a lot of fancy moves in the front, when he caught up with the ball, his handling was a bit sloppy facing Carvalho who returned to defense in time.

He actually wanted to dribble past Carvalho in the penalty area and then shoot.

Yang Cheng covered his face as he watched.

You're not that type at all, okay?
If it were Walcott, there would be such a possibility.

If all else fails, doesn’t the little tiger still have his best skill of falling over?
Just kidding. Actually, with the careful training of the Chinese in Bayswater, Walcott hardly falls anymore.

Perhaps frightened by Gareth Bale's shot, Grant hurriedly replaced Glen Johnson with new signing Sidwell to further strengthen the defense.

At this moment, everyone was basically certain that the winner had been decided.

But Walcott also had an offside break in the 84th minute.

He suddenly changed his position to the left rib, received the pass from Dzeko, and broke into the left side of the penalty area, but was blocked by Cech and Carvalho.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese failed to expand the score in the second half.

Thanks to goals from Arshavin and Dzeko in the first half, Bayswater Chinese defeated Chelsea 2-0 and won the Community Shield!
