I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 161: The Offensive Battle at Old Trafford! Thank you, Sir, you are such a good man! [Subscribe]

After the 25th round of the Premier League, the national team players reported to their national teams.

On February 2, all national teams arranged friendly matches.

But this time, most of the choices are in Europe.

Obviously, the last commotion between the strong teams in the Premier League and the giants in Europe did have some effect.

But fortunately, Dzeko escaped this time because of injury.

After returning from the national team, the team faced the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Bayswater Chinese will host Aston Villa at home.

Yang Cheng kept key players such as Lewandowski on the bench and arranged Lambert to start.

Just 4 minutes into the game, Matic scored the first goal for the team.

This is also the Serbian teenager's first goal of the season.

But just four minutes later, James Milner equalized for Aston Villa.

The Bayswater Chinese continued their offensive.

In the 24th minute, Lambert assisted Aaron Ramsey to score another goal for Bayswater Chinese.

2 is better than 1!

After that, the Bayswater Chinese maintained their lead all the way.

In order to save his strength for the make-up match in the middle of the week, Yang Cheng did not make any substitutions.

It was not until the 76th minute of the second half that Matuidi and Hazard cooperated, the French midfielder made a wonderful pass, and Lambert scored in the penalty area.

3 is better than 1!

Bayswater Chinese beat Aston Villa at home and successfully advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Manchester United easily defeated Derby County away from home.

……

After the FA Cup on the 15th, the third round of the Premier League will be played on the 18th.

Yang Cheng decided to arrive in Manchester one day earlier, on the evening of the 17th.

But no one knows which link leaked the news, but Manchester United fans actually got the news in advance and waited at the hotel entrance. When they saw the bus carrying the Chinese people from Bayswater, they were like chicken blood and kept chasing it.

Some fans even smashed the windows of the team bus with stones.

Fortunately, the Chinese in Bayswater are stingy in other aspects, but they are famous for treating their players well.

Not only are the food standards very high, but the accommodation standards are equally high.

This time we stayed in a four-star Hilton hotel, which had good security and soundproofing.

But Manchester United fans still refused to give in.

Even after the Chinese people from Bayswater entered the hotel, they continued to make noise downstairs, trying to disturb the Chinese people's rest in this way.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng had always been prepared for this move.

As early as when the team was selecting cooperative hotels in various places, Yang Cheng listed the sound insulation of the rooms as one of the key assessment criteria.

Initially, United fans tried to throw objects into the room.

But they didn't know which rooms the team was staying in and smashed the wrong windows.

The hotel immediately called the police and reportedly arrested several people.

After that, they stopped smashing things and just kept making noise downstairs.

In this regard, the hotel called the police, but it was of little use.

This is Manchester.

This is Manchester United’s territory!
"I must ask Ferguson tomorrow why he always uses such dirty tricks?" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Brian Kidd shook his head. “Ferguson is a sinister guy, but he doesn’t bother to do such a thing.”

"I know, but I blame him for everything that happened in Manchester." Yang Cheng said with confidence.

Everyone smiled.

The players were all resting, but the coaching staff wasn't very sleepy because of the noise from the fans outside.

So, a few people gathered in Yang Cheng's room and talked about tomorrow's game.

The make-up match will be held at 20: p.m.

And the game will be broadcast live around the world.

It is said that Old Trafford attracted a total of 76000 fans.

This is Wednesday's game.

"What tactics do you think Ferguson will adopt?" Yang Cheng started a new topic.

The first person he set his sights on was Brian Kidd.

Brian Kidd has partnered with Ferguson for more than ten years and is very familiar with and understands Ferguson.

The Manchester United star said without hesitation: "Ferguson will never be conservative when playing at home."

"He is a very arrogant person. Even if the situation is dangerous, he will definitely take the initiative to attack!"

Make money while standing!

Looking at European football, there are not many head coaches who have the ability to say such words and achieve such a level.

But Ferguson is one.

This reminded Yang Cheng of the Ferguson autobiography he had read in his previous life, as well as several conversations he had with Ferguson after his retirement.

Yang Cheng once asked him why he adopted an aggressive tactic in the 2009 Champions League final?

Ferguson responded to him at the time.

"I have proven that it is possible to beat Barcelona using conservative tactics."

"I used that kind of negative tactic once and it worked, but I don't want to use it again. I want to use a more aggressive style to beat Barcelona fairly!"

The "upright" here only represents Ferguson's personal football philosophy.

In his opinion, an overly passive and conservative defensive tactic would not be a fair win.

At that time, Manchester United was aiming to defend their title, so naturally they hoped to defeat Barcelona with a more proactive tactic.

Manchester United, under Ferguson's coaching, basically does not adopt a defensive counterattack tactic against any team in the Premier League.

This is the pride of Ferguson and Manchester United!
What's more, it's at Manchester United's home ground.

"The strongest Cristiano Ronaldo was actually in the 06/07 season. Although he scored a lot of goals last season, overall, he was too focused on scoring goals and lost the comprehensiveness of the 06/07 season."

Thad Fawcett took over from Brian Kidd and continued.

"Judging from his performance this season, Ronaldo has obviously declined overall. I personally think that this is only temporary. After getting through this period of lows, he will reach a higher peak."

"But as of now, his overall performance is indeed not as good as last season, mainly because he was over-exerted last season."

Players are human beings, not machines.

It doesn't mean that if he runs out of gas, he can just fill it up and be revived with full health.

This is like a person who works non-stop. There is nothing wrong with his body, but he is very tired mentally and his working state is not good.

It’s good that the company can give us one day off a week, but it’s even better if we can give us two days off a week.

If you only work 4 and a half days a week and have one paid vacation every year, that would be heavenly.

Ronaldo's current situation is that he worked continuously last season, which caused him to be mentally exhausted.

He played in the European Cup again in the summer of 08, and then got injured. After his comeback, he had to play two games in a row in one week, so it was normal for his form to decline.

Not only Ronaldo, but Rooney too.

The form this season has been terrible.

You know, last season Manchester United used a trident in almost every game.

These three players are the unshakable main force.

To say it is overused is not an exaggeration.

The best is Tevez.

But this guy has lost his main position this season and was replaced by Berbatov. He has had plenty of rest time, so his condition is actually the best.

However, Tevez has recently been having an unpleasant dispute with Manchester United over contract renewal.

Manchester United fans have a lot of opinions about him. On the one hand, they think that the transfer fee to buy him out is too high.

Moreover, Tevez asked for a high salary.

The Argentine striker believes that the transfer fee was negotiated between Manchester United and his agent team when Manchester United loaned him, and has nothing to do with Tevez.

Ferguson promised to buy him out, so he was determined to stay at Manchester United.

Otherwise, given his situation, how could he stay peacefully as a substitute in Manchester United?
Besides, the pound has depreciated so much now, and taxes will be increased next. Is it too much for him to ask for a higher salary?

All in all, this matter caused a lot of uproar.

This is the reason why Yang Cheng still insists on rotating Di Maria, Gareth Bale and Walcott.

The rotation of three players, plus the addition of Hazard in the cup competition, can, overall, maximize the players' continued performance.

More importantly, neither Gareth Bale nor Walcott are as durable as Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez.

If they are overused, these two little guys will turn into glass in minutes.

Therefore, the current configuration and rotation mechanism of the Bayswater Chinese is quite good.

Yang Cheng speculated that the front trident, Berbatov, Rooney and Ronaldo should continue to play.

As for the midfield, Fletcher is pretty good. Hargreaves has been out for the season and Anderson also injured his ankle not long ago, so he will definitely not be able to catch up with this game.

Manchester United currently has almost no players available in the midfield.

This is also the reason why Yang Cheng, Brian Kidd and others all agreed that Manchester United would launch an attack at home.

"To be honest, I really don't understand what Ferguson is thinking now."

Yang Cheng felt very puzzled.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Manchester United is seriously short of manpower in its midfield.

After Hargreaves was out for the season, Fletcher was unstable, Scholes was old, and Anderson, who was obviously a talented attacking midfielder, was treated like a sapper and his performance was equally unreliable.

In this case, why didn't Ferguson think of buying anyone?
Sometimes, Ferguson seems very shrewd.

But very stubborn.

He has his own logic in doing things, and no one can guess it.

It seems that no one can understand why Benítez, who has such a good world-class midfield triangle, chooses to commit suicide?
"If you ask him this, I guess he will ask you in return, are Modric and Yaya Toure for sale?"

Brian Kidd's sudden remark made everyone present burst into laughter.

Ferguson had coveted the Bayswater Chinese midfielder for a long time.

Of course Yang Cheng would not let him do as he wished.

But he has a vague feeling that this battle at Old Trafford may determine the final outcome of this season's Premier League championship.

The Chinese in Bayswater lost, and what happens next will become even more confusing.

But if we can beat Manchester United away from home, it will basically lay the foundation for the championship!
Of course, a draw is a result that both sides can barely accept.

By then, the suspense of the championship will have to be postponed.

But Bayswater Chinese's lead remains unchanged, and Manchester United's draw at home is equivalent to losing half the game.

At the very least, Ferguson failed to achieve the goal of his season strategy.

Yang Cheng also has his own plans.

If possible, he certainly hopes to take control of the initiative to win the championship as soon as possible.

In this way, the team will be more at ease whether playing in the Champions League or the FA Cup.

The competition pressure will also be relatively much less.

……

On the evening of April 2, Manchester, Old Trafford Stadium.

20:03:46.

In a quick attack launched by Manchester United after the opening, Rooney sent a cross from the left to the right side of the penalty area.

C Ronaldo shook off Leighton Baines on the right and cut into the right side of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed. Before Thiago Silva could get there, he used the outside of his left foot to stop Rooney's diagonal pass towards the middle.

The Portuguese winger quickly changed direction, trying to catch up with the ball he had stopped.

Anyone can see that as long as Ronaldo catches up, he can just volley the ball with his left foot.

Thiago Silva adjusted very quickly, turned around and chased after him, and got entangled with Ronaldo.

The two men fought with their bodies while catching up with the football.

The moment Ronaldo kicked the ball, Thiago Silva stepped down decisively and made a direct tackle.

Unexpectedly, Ronaldo dribbled the ball back with his left foot, and Thiago Silva's tackle hit Ronaldo's foot.

The Portuguese player instantly lost his balance and fell into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese players in Bayswater.

The entire Old Trafford stadium suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Penalty kick!"

"Referee Howard Webb awarded a penalty without hesitation!"

"Just over three minutes into the game, when Bayswater Chinese had organized an attack, Manchester United got the first penalty opportunity."

"Thiago Silva is shown the yellow card."

"I have to say, Ronaldo is still Ronaldo, his feet are fast and his reactions are quick."

"This time, he was probably going for a penalty kick in the penalty area."

"There's nothing wrong with Thiago Silva's defensive action, except that he ran into Cristiano Ronaldo this time."

Thiago Silva punched the grass hard and was pulled up from the ground by Pepe.

The whole Old Trafford stadium was cheering!
The Brazilian center back turned his head habitually and looked at the head coach of the visiting team's coaching booth on the sidelines.

Yang Cheng was also looking at him, without saying anything, but just gave him a thumbs up and then clapped his hands vigorously.

This made the Brazilian center back, who had just made a big mistake, feel warmed.

He didn't understand why he made the wrong judgment just now?
But if it's wrong, it's wrong.

Thiago Silva walked quickly towards Neuer and shook hands with the German goalkeeper, as if to entrust the team to Neuer.

But soon, Ronaldo quickly took a run-up and calmly kicked the ball into the goal.

Neuer misjudged the direction.

1 is better than 0!

Old Trafford is boiling again!

……

Yang Cheng now wants to cry and say to the fans: The news is all lies, I can't be your prince!
In the so-called World Cup, Lehmann's penalty note didn't work at all!

At least, in Ronaldo's penalty just now, it really had no effect.

A true penalty kick master is constantly changing his penalty kick method and direction anytime and anywhere.

In the end, the goalkeeper still had to rely on guesswork to save the penalty.

Yang Cheng turned his head and saw Ferguson excitedly opening his arms and cheering loudly in front of the home team's coaching booth. He really wanted to go over and remind the old Scottish man.

Don't get excited, you're still chewing gum!

What if I accidentally swallow it?

Besides, it’s just a goal, right?

I'll let you score!

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng quickly walked to the sidelines, called out to Modric and Yaya Toure, and gave them two instructions.

Yaya Toure needs to do a better job of protecting the back line and try to reduce forward runs.

Modric and Matuidi should try to create more pressure on Carrick and Scholes.

Rakitic was injured before this game and was left in London by Yang Cheng.

The starting player in this game was French midfielder Matuidi.

Manchester United actually adopted a 442 formation.

From left to right in midfield are Ashley Young, Carrick, Scholes and Ronaldo.

The two strikers are Rooney and Berbatov.

On the defensive line, Manchester United started with Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and O'Shea.

Old man Ferguson is still very courageous.

Facing the Chinese from Bayswater, he actually fielded a combination of Carrick and Scholes in the midfield.

Yang Cheng thought about it, walked to the sidelines again, and signaled Gareth Bale and Walcott to move to the flanks.

He hopes that the players will try to attack Manchester United's two flanks as much as possible.

It is the junction between Evra and Vidic, O'Shea and Ferdinand.

Because he felt that Scholes and Carrick did not provide enough protection for the flanks.

Especially on Scholes' side.

Ronaldo is more focused on attacking in the frontcourt and it is difficult for him to effectively protect the flanks.

But Ferguson obviously also knows his own problems very well.

Therefore, Manchester United's strategy is to attack instead of defend.

Even after taking a one-goal lead, Ferguson's team still took the initiative.

This style of play is very aggressive, but also very sudden.

At the very least, the penalty kick at the beginning was completely unexpected for the Bayswater Chinese and even for Ferguson.

Of course, Howard Webb is also ruthless enough.

A penalty was awarded just over 3 minutes into the game.

They hope that this game will become an offensive battle!

……

The first attack by the Chinese in Bayswater occurred in the 7th minute.

At that time, Walcott received the pass from Maicon on the right and suddenly started.

Facing three defensive players, Evra, Carrick and Vidic, the little tiger resolutely rushed with the ball, broke through the encirclement of Manchester United's defensive players and dribbled into the penalty area.

Vidic used his body to push Walcott away in time.

The little tiger couldn't withstand the confrontation and fell in Manchester United's penalty area.

But Howard Webber didn't call a foul.

The reason is that he believes Vidic's confrontation was within a reasonable range.

Just 6 minutes later, still on the right.

Maicon made a forward run and sent a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area, at Walcott's feet.

When the little tiger stopped the ball, he tried to break through Vidic head-on.

The ball passed through and the man also rushed over, but was a little slower.

Van der Sar decisively left the goal and hugged the ball directly.

The Chinese side in Bayswater continued to press forward and attack, and Manchester United was also not idle.

Although the Red Devils were leading by one goal, Ferguson's team did not play conservatively at all.

Manchester United, playing at home, engaged in a fast-paced offensive battle with the Bayswater Chinese.

First, Scholes made a wonderful pass, Berbatov turned and passed the ball, and Ronaldo made a long shot directly from outside the right corner of the penalty area.

But the shot went straight up high.

Afterwards, Ronaldo dribbled the ball past Leighton Baines on the right and made a cross, and Rooney volleyed at the back post.

The ball hit Pepe's leg and went out of bounds.

In the subsequent corner kick, Ronaldo jumped high and headed the ball, but he failed to control the momentum of the ball and it was still too high.

The back-and-forth offensive battle between the players of both sides made the fans at the scene very excited.

Especially since Manchester United was leading by one goal.

The crowd at Old Trafford was outraged!
As Ferguson said during his pre-match press conference.

By winning this game and shortening the points gap, Manchester United will launch a general attack on this season's Premier League championship!

Whether it is from the players' emotions or the atmosphere on the scene, Manchester United has reached its peak.

But on the field, after the Chinese team of Bayswater stabilized their position, they began to exert their strength in the midfield.

Matuidi and Modric put more pressure on Scholes and Carrick.

After 15 minutes, Carrick was never able to get the ball easily.

Almost every time he had the ball, Modric was near him.

Although Scholes had some good passes, he found it difficult to control the ball due to Matuidi's interference.

It's more about just kicking the ball out.

This resulted in Manchester United's entire offensive tempo being very fast.

He always passed the ball two or three times and then kicked it behind the Chinese players in Bayswater, allowing the trident in the frontcourt to seize the opportunity.

But there is a drawback to this style of play, which is that the offense can easily become a one-time deal.

In the final analysis, we lost our advantage in the midfield and couldn't hold the ball, so we had no choice but to play like this.

So Manchester United's attack looks very strong, but in fact, there are not many threatening opportunities.

The conditions of Ronaldo and Rooney are still as unsatisfactory as ever.

This is reflected in the fact that their offensive efficiency is not high. The most typical example is in the 21st minute, when Manchester United had a free kick 30 meters away from the goal.

When Ronaldo took the penalty, he just kicked the ball straight away.

He does have the ability to take free kicks from ultra-long distances, but the effect is a bit off.

Rooney also seemed a little impatient.

Since the beginning of this season, the form of Manchester United's two superstars has not been particularly ideal.

Of course, the so-called unsatisfactory situation is only achieved when they are under close surveillance.

Try relaxing your defense against them?

You'll be finished in a matter of minutes!

But whether it was the fans at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, or even the Sky Sports commentator, they all felt that Manchester United played in very good form and had a strong offensive force in this game.

The only drawback is that the efficiency is a bit poor.

But it is precisely in this atmosphere and situation that Manchester United's defense line continues to push forward.

26 minutes.

Manchester United once again sent a straight pass, trying to get it to the right side of the penalty area, which is the left side of the Bayswater Chinese, for Ronaldo to rush forward.

As a result, Thiago Silva took the lead and used his body to block Ronaldo outside the penalty area. He intercepted the ball with his foot and took two steps horizontally from the baseline.

Berbatov did not immediately step forward to cooperate with Ronaldo in pressing.

This is also a consistent characteristic of the Bulgarian center.

As a man who has elegance and grace engraved in his bones, the first rule of playing football is: your head can be cut off, but your hairstyle cannot be messed up!

How could Brother Xiaosha do such close combat with this group of stinky, sweaty men?
Thiago Silva took two steps sideways in his own penalty area and found that no one was coming to press him. He raised his head and glanced ahead, then used all his strength to kick a long pass with his right foot.

As for this long pass, the arc was not too high and it was not kicked too far.

The ball was kicked directly from the bottom line of Bayswater Chinese, across the center line, and landed in the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United.

But the problem is that Manchester United's defense is a little too forward.

Vidic, Ferdinand and others retreated immediately and returned to defense quickly.

But Gareth Bale and Walcott are already ready to go.

Especially Gareth Bale!

The Welshman clearly felt that the ball was coming towards him.

So, Gareth Bale sprinted forward at an extremely fast speed.

Two Manchester United central defenders in red jerseys are tracking back, with Gareth Bale, wearing desert gold jerseys, sprinting behind them.

Everyone witnessed with their own eyes that Gareth Bale, at a speed visible to the naked eye, went from falling behind to catching up, gradually shortening the distance, and finally, within Manchester United's 30-meter area, he headed Thiago Silva's long pass in front of him before Ferdinand could.

Ferdinand kept retreating and was disturbed by Gareth Bale. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, completely losing his ability to intercept.

And everyone was shocked to find that the Welsh winger was still accelerating!
"Oh my God, he can go even faster!"

Gareth Bale rushed quickly to Manchester United's penalty area, and before Vidic who was defending behind, he kicked the ball to the left side of Manchester United's penalty area and passed by Vidic in an instant.

He is like a gust of wind!

At Old Trafford, with 7 stunned fans watching, Gareth Bale rushed into the Manchester United penalty area at lightning speed, caught up with the ball he had just dribbled out, and shot with his left foot before Van der Sar could.

With the shock brought by the previous series of sprints, this final shot looks particularly lethal!

The ball slipped past Van der Sar who was halfway through the attack and went into the Manchester United goal behind the Dutch goalkeeper.

1 is better than 1!

"The ball went in!!!"

"Gareth Bale!"

“A great goal!!!”

"We see Gareth Bale sprinting from a long distance, he is so fast!!"

"Manchester United's defenders tried everything they could, but they couldn't stop the Welsh charge!"

"I just don't know how to describe this attack, this goal."

"I can only say that when Gareth Bale scored, I had an urge to worship him!"

“He’s going to be a superstar!”

"I swear, from today on, I am his fan!"

"Remember this name, Gareth Bale!"

There was a cry of pain throughout Old Trafford.

The lead that Manchester United established after the opening was broken by Gareth Bale's counterattack!
Yang Cheng jumped up excitedly and cheered loudly.

When I turned around again, I found Ferguson had a painful expression on his face and kept shaking his head.

……

Gareth Bale's goal completely aroused the fighting spirit of the Chinese in Bayswater.

At the same time, it also completely angered Manchester United.

Both sides fought even more fiercely than in the opening stages, and the pace of the game was even faster.

尤其是从28到30分钟，短短3分钟左右的时间里面，曼联连续获得了2次角球机会和1次前场的任意球机会。

However, three set pieces in the frontcourt failed to pose a threat to scoring.

The Chinese in Bayswater also continued to launch counterattacks.

The fast-paced offensive back and forth between the two sides made all the fans very excited.

Even the Sky Sports commentator said, "This is the most exciting first half of the Premier League this season!"

Maicon and Ferdinand also received yellow cards while defending Rooney and Gareth Bale respectively.

But if you observe carefully, you can easily find that Manchester United's offensive threat, in addition to set pieces, is more of a long-range shot.

The Red Devils actually couldn't find a very effective way to break into Bayswater's Chinese penalty area.

When the midfield loses its advantage, they can only pass the ball to the frontcourt quickly and then create opportunities through the personal abilities of the frontcourt players.

For example, in the 38th minute, Ronaldo failed to break through the frontcourt and passed the ball back to Carrick.

Carrick came on and took a long shot from 25 meters away.

But it's a bit too high.

Yang Cheng also realized that it was difficult for Ashley Young to perform as expected in Manchester United's current style of play.

Maybe even worse than Park Ji-sung or Giggs.

Ferguson will definitely make substitutions in the second half.

It depends on when he changes and who he changes.

And in the 40th minute, Manchester United once again tried to send a straight pass behind them.

As a result, Pepe cleared the ball near the 30-meter area.

The ball crossed the halfway line and landed in Manchester United's half.

Lewandowski retreated to the outside of the bottom of the center circle and headed the ball back to Gareth Bale on the left side of the center circle.

If time were to freeze at this moment, one would be able to see that Walcott had already begun preparing for the sprint.

Evra was certainly prepared, but the Frenchman was always looking at Lewandowski's header from the side, judging the path of the ball, and did not notice that Walcott quietly moved towards the middle.

This is intended to attack the gap between Evra and Vidic.

The ball fell to the left side of the center circle.

Gareth Bale chased after Lewandowski from outside the center circle, diagonally towards the middle, with almost no adjustment, and headed the ball towards Lewandowski. The ball fell and he made a diagonal pass with his left foot.

The ball was passed diagonally between Ferdinand and Vidic at an extremely fast speed and was sent behind Manchester United's defense.

At almost the same time, Walcott started quickly and instantly penetrated the defense of Evra and Vidic, creating a beautiful offside.

The timing and sense of smell of the little tiger's movement are very, very good.

After rushing over, there were no defensive players behind him.

Walcott was like a flash of lightning. He caught up with Gareth Bale's ball from behind near the top of the penalty area and dribbled to the left side of the penalty area, instantly disarming the attacking Van der Sar.

After catching up with the ball he had dribbled out, the little tiger shot the ball into the empty Manchester United goal with his left foot. He did not slow down and quickly rushed out of the stadium, cheering excitedly all the way.

"The ball went in again!!"

“Bayswater Chinese score again!”

"2 to 1!"

"A goal from the little tiger Walcott!"

"It was a very beautiful counterattack, and it was very concise and fast."

"Lewandowski headed the ball, Gareth Bale passed it diagonally behind him, Walcott quickly made a diagonal run, beat the offside and had a single shot."

"The Chinese players from Bayswater used this quick counterattack to instantly break down Manchester United's defense!"

"Reversed!"

"Bayswater Chinese completed a comeback in the first half!"

"Manchester United's offensive efficiency is still not good enough!"

……

"Manchester United's Achilles' heel is the midfield!"

Returning to the locker room with a score of 2-1, Yang Cheng pointed out Manchester United's problems directly and bluntly.

"I guess Ferguson will make substitutions in the second half, but my initial estimate is that he will make the substitutions after 60 minutes at the earliest."

“Maybe even longer.”

“So, we must seize the time in the second half and try to score another goal before they make substitutions to establish our advantage!”

Yang Cheng pulled over the tactical board and pointed out several areas where Manchester United's defense was slack in the first half.

Ferguson's lineup in this game was a bit too aggressive, even a bit too confident.

Does he really think that at Old Trafford, with Carrick and Scholes in the midfield, they can stop the Bayswater Chinese?
"Our strategy is simple. We will still attack their flanks, especially our wings."

"After the second half starts, don't hold back, just attack!"

"The midfield continued the play style of the first half, suppressing the opponent and delivering ammunition to the front court!"

"We don't care what tactics Manchester United use in the second half. I only have one request: score another goal in the shortest possible time and establish a leading advantage."

"However Manchester United attacked us in the first half, I want to see you fight back ten or a hundred times!"

Yang Cheng's instructions were very clear and simple.

Just attack.

Attack at all costs!

Because he wants to achieve a strategic goal, which is to suppress Manchester United on the psychological level!
Aren’t you Red Devils crazy?
Isn't that a radical tactic?

Carrick and Scholes can both play as a midfield duo, do you think Old Trafford is solid?

Well then, I will use what you think is your advantage to completely crush you!

……

As soon as the whistle for the second half sounded, Manchester United players realized something was wrong.

The tragic reversal in the first half had some impact on Manchester United's morale.

Especially at the level of player confidence.

After Ferguson's mobilization during the half-time break, he also made some adjustments to the tactics.

But the main direction remains unchanged.

In the second half, Manchester United still had to start with an offensive and try to equalize the score.

At that time, Ferguson will make substitutions and adjustments to further strengthen the offensive and defeat the Bayswater Chinese in one fell swoop.

Ferguson and Manchester United have played this kind of game rhythm countless times in the past.

To some extent, they are very good at it.

But at this moment, they met the Chinese from Bayswater!
Less than 3 minutes into the game, Gareth Bale broke through O'Shea on the left and sent a cross.

Van der Sar left the goal and lost the ball when competing with Lewandowski and Vidic.

Walcott's shot almost scored again.

The dangerous situation in front of the goal made everyone in Manchester United break out in a cold sweat.

The Chinese in Bayswater also spotted Manchester United's defensive weaknesses.

O'Shea!

So the ball was passed to the left again and again.

Gareth Bale also competed with O'Shea time and time again, making the Manchester United defenders struggle and look very embarrassed.

The Welshman not only has speed and good footwork, but is also good at physical confrontation and has strong feet, which makes it very difficult for O'Shea to defend and he is in a very embarrassing situation.

In the first few minutes, Manchester United was forced to not even be able to launch a single attack.

This was simply a replica of the opening stage of the game.

And in the 53rd minute, the Bayswater Chinese suddenly changed the direction of attack.

Modric suddenly moved the ball to the right.

After Maicon received the ball, he moved forward and tried to make a diagonal pass to Walcott.

The little tiger received the ball on the right rib and tried to sprint, or to attack the ribs, hitting the junction between Evra and Vidic.

But this time, Carrick reacted quickly, got there in time, and committed a decisive foul.

The Manchester United midfielder received a yellow sapphire good guy card and gave the Bayswater Chinese a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

It is only about 20 meters away from the goal.

Ferguson suddenly became a little nervous.

He walked to the sidelines and urged players to remain vigilant.

Van der Sar also treated it as a formidable enemy and directed his teammates to form a human wall.

Gareth Bale and Leighton Baines both stood on the penalty spot at the same time.

They are all left-footed players and have good free kick skills, so it is just right for them to take free kicks on the right side of the ribs.

After Manchester United's human wall was set up, the two free throw takers from Bayswater Chinese looked at each other.

When the referee Webber blew the whistle, Leighton Baines did not move, but Gareth Bale took a quick run-up.

Everyone thinks that the first person who runs out is usually just faking a move to confuse the opponent for the teammates behind him.

But what no one expected was that after Gareth Bale ran over, he directly hit a curved ball with his left foot.

The ball quickly passed the wall and went into the right side of Manchester United's goal.

After Van der Sar set up the human wall, he stood slightly closer to the center.

After the ball was kicked out, the Dutch goalkeeper only moved one step to the right, and he didn't even have time to save the ball before it went in!
Scored twice!

3 is better than 1!

"Gareth Bale again!"

"This time it's a direct free kick!"

"A very nice curveball, very deadly!"

"Van der Sar didn't even react to it."

"The young Welsh player scored twice tonight!"

“It was definitely an exciting night!”

"I'm sure all the fans will remember this night, especially those in England."

"Because we see the twin stars of Gareth Bale and Walcott rising!"

"They are shining brightly in the Old Trafford sky tonight!"

……

Just as Yang Cheng expected.

After the Chinese scored the third goal in Bayswater, it dealt a very painful blow to Manchester United.

The entire Old Trafford stadium was plunged into despair.

This game is destined to be painful for Manchester United fans.

During the first twenty minutes or so, they were so excited and ambitious.

But now, they are completely depressed.

We are already trailing 1 to 3, can we still turn the situation around?
The answer is obvious!
Unlikely.

Ferguson made two substitutions in the 68th minute.

He first replaced Ashley Young with Giggs, and then replaced Scholes with Fletcher.

Just three minutes later, he even used his last substitution, replacing Berbatov with Tevez.

This starting lineup seems to be returning to the style of play of last season and regaining the glory of last season.

But times have changed.

Manchester United can never go back.

Both Giggs and Scholes are a year older than last season.

For players of their age, being one year older makes a world of difference in their condition.

Fletcher is not in very good shape now.

Otherwise, Ferguson would have started him long ago.

As for Tevez, after he came on the pitch, Manchester United's frontcourt lost a stable point to get the ball.

Although Xiaosha Ge doesn't like to run much, he is not particularly lazy. His sturdy body and excellent footwork make him very capable in catching the ball.

After Berbatov was taken off and replaced by Tevez, who will get the ball in the frontcourt?

This situation became particularly obvious after the substitution.

Manchester United's entire midfield still can't function.

The Bayswater Chinese midfield completely suppressed their opponents.

The failure to hold the ball in the frontcourt led to Bayswater Chinese launching continuous counterattacks.

In the 79th minute, there was a counterattack from the backcourt.

Thiago Silva once again made a long pass.

Gareth Bale moved forward at a very fast speed, caught up with the ball, and was one-on-one with O'Shea on the left.

The Welshman made a series of feints to confuse O'Shea, then suddenly kicked the ball to the bottom line and accelerated to catch up.

This is what I passed to myself 3 seconds later!
Even the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford couldn't help but cheer for Gareth Bale!
With their exclamations!
After the Welshman caught up with the ball, he observed the situation in the middle and sent a low pass to the center of the goal.

Lewandowski quickly moved forward and pushed the ball into the goal from the front of the small penalty area.

Ferdinand, Vidic and Van der Sar were powerless to do anything about it.

4 is better than 1!

The entire Old Trafford stadium fell into silence!
Facing the unstoppable Chinese team from Bayswater, Manchester United simply couldn't stop them!
Yang Cheng was cheering excitedly and applauding loudly on the sidelines.

Then he began to slowly replace players to delay time.

Until the game is completely over.

Bayswater Chinese reversed Manchester United 4-1 with Gareth Bale's double, Walcott and Lewandowski's goals!
And it’s at Old Trafford!
……

When the whistle sounded to end Webber's game, Yang Cheng couldn't help but cheer loudly!
This game was so awesome!
He was satisfied with everyone's performance!

It’s worth it that the team has prepared carefully for so long!
More importantly, Manchester United's lineup does have obvious shortcomings, and Ferguson, playing at home, was too aggressive in both his lineup and tactics.

When Ferguson came over and shook hands with Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng had learned his lesson this time.

Without shaking his hand, she asked, "Didn't you say before the game that you would buy me a drink after the game?"

His playful look made Ferguson so angry that he almost wanted to beat him up.

But considering that he was old and frail and could not beat Yang Cheng, he chose to endure in silence.

It’s also my fault for being too flamboyant before the game!

"I'll give you a box, you take it home and drink it slowly!" Ferguson said gritting his teeth.

But what he never expected was that Yang Cheng, this shameless bastard, actually smiled and raised two fingers.

"No, I need two boxes this time!"

Why two boxes?

A hint of curiosity flashed through Ferguson's mind.

But now was obviously not the time to be curious. He was filled with rage, and it was obviously inappropriate to ask him about the wine.

Besides, it’s just two boxes of wine.
I can afford it!
"Okay, two boxes of wine, for you!"

After saying that, Ferguson stretched out his hand angrily.

Yang Cheng immediately held it tightly.

"Thank you, sir, you are such a good man!"

Ferguson almost couldn't hold it in, angrily shook off Yang Cheng's hand, turned around and left.

When the assistants around heard that Ferguson was going to give Yang Cheng two boxes of wine, their eyes immediately lit up.

When Ferguson left the field angrily, everyone gathered around him.

Yang Cheng doesn't understand this group of guys yet.

"Don't try to get close to me, I want to keep the wine for myself!"
