“Haha, 1-0!”
"The thing Yang Cheng was most worried about happened!"
In the presidential stand of the Bernabeu Stadium, when Ramos headed the ball into the goal of the Bayswater Chinese, Real Madrid president Calderon jumped up from his seat excitedly, shouting Ramos' name loudly.
That excited expression was no different from that of the Real Madrid fans around him.
In recent times, Real Madrid has been playing better and better, especially the nine-game winning streak, which has greatly improved the situation of the president.
But tonight's game is the real test.
Real Madrid has not made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for many years.
If they can achieve a breakthrough in performance this season and beat the defending champions Bayswater Chinese, it will undoubtedly greatly boost Calderon's momentum and lay the foundation for the presidential election in the summer.
"Juande Ramos is still very capable, and this recent winning streak is the best proof!"
Mijatovic also praised.
Calderon nodded repeatedly, “As long as we can continue this momentum, he will stay in office after I am elected this summer. By then we will buy Ronaldo and sign several more stars in succession, and our overall strength will be able to reach a higher level!”
Calderon's eyes light up as he looks to the future.
The past period of time has really made him feel depressed.
Especially the pressure from Florentino.
This damn guy, jumping up and down, is obviously not even a candidate for the Real Madrid president, but he acts as if he is the only one who can be the next Real Madrid president, forcing Calderon into a very embarrassing situation.
Now, Juande Ramos is proud!
Awesome!
"Come on, Juande!"
"Hala, Madrid!"
"Let's kill the Chinese in Bayswater in one fell swoop!"
……
"Yang Cheng was careless!"
Sitting in the VIP box of the Bernabeu Stadium, Florentino shook his head secretly when he saw Ramos score a goal.
Sergio Ramos was a player he brought in.
But he wasn't happy at all.
"Didn't he say before the game that not conceding the ball was the most important thing? Why didn't he focus on defense after the game started?"
Florentino was very puzzled by this.
Yang Cheng's start was quite standard, a bit safe but not conservative.
On the contrary, Real Madrid played very aggressively after the opening.
Juande Ramos' strategy was obviously to attack and use the home advantage to control the situation.
And sure enough, he actually scored a goal.
"Strictly speaking, the head coach did not have a big problem with this ball," Valdano explained.
"How to say?"
"Robben's breakthrough didn't go in at all and we got a corner kick. I also noticed that when defending the corner kick just now, Yang Cheng specifically raised four fingers, probably to remind the players to pay attention to Ramos."
Valdano said this and shook his head. "Defending against set pieces is like this. It's very chaotic and easy to miss people."
"Ramos is indeed very strong," Zidane added.
Everyone nodded.
Apart from being a little irritable and having shortcomings in height and strength, there is really nothing wrong with Ramos.
"But now that we are behind in the score, the game will be difficult to play. If Juande Ramos plays a defensive counterattack, the Chinese players in Bayswater will have even fewer opportunities."
As soon as Florentino finished speaking, Zidane and Valdano looked at each other and shook their heads.
"It's not that simple. Don't listen to what Yang Cheng said before the game, but look at what he does specifically. And Juande Ramos' 442 has obvious shortcomings."
"To put it bluntly, the nine-game winning streak is just bullying at home. The opponents are far weaker than Real Madrid, so it is not worth referring to."
Zidane said this with a slight smile: "The Bayswater Chinese midfielder has not yet shown its strength."
"Juande Ramos' big test has just begun!"
"That's right." Valdano also agreed with Zidane's analysis, "At the very least, let's wait and see after Real Madrid's opening attack is over."
Florentino is a veteran football fan, but he doesn't know much about tactics and strategy.
But after hearing what they said, I was actually looking forward to it.
……
Yang Cheng always stood on the sidelines, watching the game silently.
Despite being behind 0-1, he was not in a hurry at all.
Not only was he not in a hurry, the coaching staff behind him was also not in a hurry.
Everyone knew that in the previous defense, the players' real problem was that they missed someone in the set-piece defense.
In the 5th minute, the Chinese in Bayswater launched a counterattack.
Dzeko retreated to the midfield to receive the ball and made a diagonal pass.
Heinze took the lead and intercepted the ball in time before Walcott.
The attack did not succeed.
Real Madrid did not stop just because they were ahead.
Juande Ramos obviously also wanted to take advantage of the home advantage and defeat the Bayswater Chinese in one fell swoop.
After taking a 1-goal lead, they continued to attack.
In the 7th minute, Raul made a pass and Huntelaar shot directly from 20 meters away from the goal.
But this shot was saved by Neuer.
Real Madrid launched continuous attacks.
In the 12th minute, Robben made a straight pass and Raul rushed into the penalty area.
Neuer decisively left the goal and fell to the ground to hug the ball before Raul.
The continuous attacks made Real Madrid more and more powerful.
Especially the Real Madrid fans in the stands, they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The Real Madrid players on the field have been holding back for too long.
In the past few years, Real Madrid has completely declined in the Champions League.
They all tried their best to prove themselves again!
Especially breaking through the round of 16 of the Champions League!
In the 14th minute, Ramos quickly moved forward on the right, received the pass from Las Diarra, and passed it diagonally to the front of the penalty area.
After Huntelaar moved forward to attract the defense's attention, Raul rushed to the front point, made a diving header, and hit the far corner.
Neuer flew to the side and hit the ball out with one hand, barely defusing the crisis.
This was also the most threatening attack created by Real Madrid after the goal.
When the German goalkeeper stood up in front of the goal line, he shouted angrily at his teammates, asking them to cheer up.
Yang Cheng also walked to the sidelines as soon as possible and called Matuidi, signaling him to strengthen the protection of the left side of the defense line.
At the same time, Yang Cheng also signaled Gareth Bale and Walcott to withdraw appropriately.
Especially when Ramos and Heinze made forward runs, the two would follow back.
Pull your fist back and punch out again to be more powerful!
“The Chinese in Bayswater have finally retreated!”
"Under the strong offensive pressure from Real Madrid, this Premier League team still failed to withstand the pressure and planned to stabilize its defensive position first."
"But Real Madrid are still trying to attack."
……
No team can maintain a fast-paced offense for long.
Especially a team like Real Madrid.
As a master of the opening attack, Yang Cheng knows better than anyone the disadvantages of a fast-paced opening attack.
Real Madrid's attack lasted for 15 minutes.
But just when Real Madrid wanted to slow down the pace, they found that they could not control the pace at all.
After the opening, they were able to run fast because of their tireless running and pressing throughout the court.
Once they wanted to take a breath, they immediately found that they could not control the ball.
What's even more terrible is that some targeted arrangements during the offensive will completely become the team's weak points after the offensive slows down and the ball possession and rhythm are lost.
For example, a full-back moving forward.
In the 16th minute, when the Bayswater Chinese won the ball in midfield, Gago and Las Diarra both rushed towards Modric and Matuidi.
But at this time, Yaya Toure, who was lagging behind, became unguarded.
Raul rushed towards Yaya Toure at the first moment, but the Ivorian passed the ball to the left.
Leighton Baines didn’t wait for Robben to get close before passing it back to Thiago Silva.
There is always one player available at Bayswater Chinese.
Especially in midfield.
When Thiago Silva got the ball, he just looked forward and sent a low diagonal pass with his right foot.
The ball quickly crossed the center line and landed on the left side of the front court.
Ramos advanced to the midline.
When the ball came, Gareth Bale blocked him inside with his body.
The Welshman did not try to stop the ball, but let it slip past him.
Ramos turned around immediately and chased after the football.
The Spanish defender is quite fast.
Unexpectedly, Gareth Bale is faster than him.
As soon as Ramos rushed forward, Gareth Bale caught up with him, and was getting faster and faster.
The Spanish defender was shocked. Seeing that Gareth Bale was about to catch up with the ball, he directly slid to the ground and tried to intercept Gareth Bale with the ball.
Even if it means getting a yellow card, he won't hesitate!
But Gareth Bale is too fast!
Before Ramos' sliding tackle arrived, the Welshman had already taken the lead, kicked the ball forward, and accelerated to catch up.
Ramos' sliding tackle only hit the turf of the Bernabeu, completely eliminating the possibility of catching up with Gareth Bale.
When the Welshman caught up with the ball again, he was already on the left side of the penalty area.
Metzelder chased all the way back to the penalty area and blocked Gareth Bale.
But Gareth Bale didn't wait for Metzelder to react. He just glanced at the midfield, then suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball to the bottom line. He used his speed to create a gap from Metzelder's body and made a low cross with his left foot.
The ball slid from left to right at a very fast speed, sticking to the grass and along the small penalty area line.
Dzeko in the middle deliberately slowed down, leaving Cannavaro near the penalty spot, and he was completely unable to stop the cross.
On the right, Walcott was like a flash of lightning, quickly cutting into the right side of the penalty area, caught up with Gareth Bale's cross, and shot with his right foot.
The little tiger's shot not only suppressed the momentum of the ball, but also went at an extremely fast speed.
It was so fast that Casillas didn't even have time to react before it went into the net.
"The ball went in!!!"
"Walcott!!"
"In the 16th minute, Walcott scored against Real Madrid!"
"1 to 1!"
"Both sides are now back on the same starting line."
"A quick counterattack from the Bayswater Chinese!"
"too fast!"
"Gareth Bale and Walcott are so fast!"
"Real Madrid's two wingers can't stop the twin stars of Bayswater Chinese!"
……
At the moment of conceding the goal, Yang Cheng clenched his fist and cheered, but he also noticed Juande Ramos's shocked roar in front of the home team's coaching bench.
What was even more unexpected was that after the game resumed, Real Madrid served the ball, but it was intercepted in the midfield within 30 seconds, and Gago's pass was intercepted by Modric.
As soon as the Croatians got the ball, Bayswater's Chinese front trident was ready to go.
Real Madrid immediately launched a counterattack.
Juande Ramos has very high requirements in this regard.
But problems soon arose.
Yaya Toure is unguarded.
The moment before, Real Madrid was attacking and Raul was running forward.
The next moment, the ball was suddenly lost and the team had to go into defense. It was impossible for Raul to retreat all at once and mark Yaya Toure.
As soon as the Ivorian got the ball, he made a long diagonal pass, accurately sending the ball behind Real Madrid's defense line.
Gareth Bale quickly moved forward, successfully beat the offside, caught up with the pass from Yaya Toure, took the ball with his left foot, broke into the penalty area and had a one-on-one opportunity.
Facing Casillas, Gareth Bale calmly shot a low left foot shot into the Real Madrid goal.
2 is better than 1!
"Oh, God!!"
"Reversed!!"
“The Bayswater Chinese have completed a beautiful comeback!”
"In just 3 minutes, 2 goals were scored!"
"Gareth Bale is so fast!"
"The Walcott goal just now came from his assist. Now, he used a wonderful one-on-one shot to help Bayswater Chinese reverse Real Madrid!"
"Juande Ramos is clearly celebrating too soon!"
"The opening goal made Real Madrid a little too optimistic, causing them to overlook the fact that they were facing the defending champions of the Champions League tonight, Bayswater Chinese!"
"Now, Juande Ramos faces a choice."
"It took the Chinese from Bayswater just three minutes to reverse the score."
"Next, will Real Madrid continue to fight head-on? Or will they choose a more pragmatic tactic?"
……
As the Bayswater Chinese equalized and reversed the score, Juande Ramos was depressed to find that his tone was a bit too high.
Especially after the opponent scored two goals in just 3 minutes, the Real Madrid players on the field were not scared away, but played even more bravely.
Real Madrid players showed no intention of backing down in the face of the fierce and ferocious Chinese players from Bayswater.
In the 22nd minute, Raul made a straight pass, Robben got the ball on the right, dribbled past Leighton Baines, cut inside near the right corner of the penalty area, and hit a curve ball with his left foot.
Neuer dived sideways and punched the ball out with both fists, blocking Robben's shot.
But just two minutes later, Robben passed the ball straight from the right and Raul broke into the penalty area.
Thiago Silva used his body to hold Raul back, forcing the Real Madrid captain to kick the ball with difficulty. His shot was unable to exert enough power and completely lost the angle.
Neuer confiscated the ball easily.
After the German goalkeeper picked up the ball from the ground, he rushed directly to the outside of the penalty area without any hesitation.
All I heard was Neuer shouting loudly, "Counterattack!"
The German ran while looking forward, and when he saw Modric raising his hand to ask for the ball, he rushed to the area where the penalty area and the top of the arc meet, and threw the ball with all his strength with his right hand.
The ball flew a distance and landed accurately in front of Modric.
The Croatian player stopped the ball with his chest, made a flexible feint, dribbled the ball skillfully with both feet, turned to the right, leaned on Gago with his left shoulder, moved forward quickly, and sent a straight pass with his right foot, passing the ball behind Heinze.
The shortcomings of Real Madrid's full-backs in advancing forward were highlighted again.
The space behind Heinze was too big.
Walcott quickly moved forward along the right sideline at lightning speed, caught up with Modric's pass, dribbled to the right side of the penalty area, and made a cross pass before Cannavaro rushed over.
Dzeko rushed to the middle, met Walcott's cross, and shot the ball into the lower left corner of Real Madrid's goal again.
Casillas was totally powerless against such a goal.
3 is better than 1!
“It’s only 25 minutes now!”
"In less than 10 minutes, the Chinese in Bayswater scored 3 goals!"
"Juande Ramos's team's defense was completely broken in a very short time."
"Bayswater Chinese's three goals all came from quick counterattacks after stealing the ball."
"The problems exposed by Real Madrid all come from the defense, especially the full-backs."
……
"Like we said just now, the gap in midfield is too big!"
In the VIP box, Valdano was completely pessimistic about the direction of the game.
In less than 10 minutes, the opponent scored three goals in a row, which was a sign of defensive collapse.
"If Juande Ramos doesn't hurry up and adjust and stabilize his defense, this game will definitely end in a big score."
At the end of his speech, Valdano kept shaking his head, obviously very disappointed with the situation.
"In the final analysis, our defense was too bad and the midfield was completely unbalanced. Juande Ramos's deployment was too arrogant and his tactics were too radical. As soon as the Bayswater Chinese stabilized their position, they immediately collapsed."
Florentino was a little surprised, "Do you think it's a problem in the midfield?"
"It's the midfield!" Valdano said confidently.
"We also have a lot of problems in our defense, for example, Ramos, I prefer him to play as a center back rather than a full back."
"But in comparison, the biggest problem is in the midfield. On February 2, when Bayswater Chinese played against Manchester United, Manchester United also lost in the midfield, allowing Bayswater Chinese to lose 18-1."
"The whole process was very similar to tonight, the home team was aggressive and scored first, which allowed Bayswater Chinese to score consecutive goals and reverse the situation. The way they scored goals was also very similar."
"I wonder if Juande Ramos hasn't studied that game?"
If so, it must be the head coach's fault.
If you have seen it but still arrange the tactics and lineup like tonight, then the problem is more serious.
"Yang Cheng's psychological warfare before the game also played a very good effect." Zidane said on the side.
Florentino didn't react for a moment.
He didn't care what Yang Cheng said before the game.
"That's right." Valdano nodded. "He has always emphasized not conceding goals, making everyone think that when he visits the Bernabéu, he will adopt a more cautious and defensive tactic."
"In fact, he just hid the dagger in his sleeve and stabbed people without mercy!"
Zidane smiled helplessly, "Also, Real Madrid beat Real Betis 6-1 before, scoring 6 goals in the first half of the game. From the public opinion to the players to the top management, everyone applauded."
"This provides a fertile soil for Yang Cheng's psychological tactics to be effective."
The so-called psychological warfare is never just a few simple words from the head coach.
Instead, we need to combine the public opinion environment at the time and the objective environment of all parties in the team, and sometimes even analyze the psychological state of specific players.
If the head coach just shouts out a few random words and that’s psychological warfare, that would be too easy.
"So according to what you said, how are we going to recruit players this summer?"
Florentino heard the disappointment in Valdano and Zidane's voices.
He had no doubt about the feelings of his two core assistants towards Real Madrid.
I can only say that Real Madrid is indeed very disappointing now.
More importantly, there is absolutely no possibility that Calderon and Mijatovic can lead Real Madrid out of the quagmire.
"Other than massive purge and reorganization, I can't think of any hope," Valdano said with great certainty.
Florentino glanced at Zidane, who nodded and then looked back at Valdano.
"Jorge, which players do you think we need among the Chinese players in Bayswater?"
Valdano was obviously stunned.
Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was not thinking about whether there were any players that Real Madrid needed, but was considering which ones Real Madrid did not need for the time being. Finally, he read out a series of names in Florentino's stunned expression.
"Dzeko, Gareth Bale, Modric, Yaya Toure, Maicon, Pepe, Thiago Silva..."
Florentino was suddenly embarrassed.
You might as well just buy out the Chinese in Bayswater.
Do we still have to work so hard to poach talents?
"I'm serious, Jorge."
"I'm serious too." Valdano said with certainty.
The atmosphere was really awkward now.
It turns out that we are really lagging behind in all aspects!
The only names that Valdano did not mention were Robben on the right, Heinze on the left back, and goalkeeper Casillas.
If that's true, it's not surprising at all that Real Madrid lost to the Bayswater Chinese.
The strength difference is too big!
"My favourite is Yaya Toure. I think he is a bit restrained by Yang Cheng now. When Las Diarra was there, he was more active, especially in the offensive end."
When Zidane said this, he paused and added, "He is the strongest defensive midfielder in the world today, bar none!"
This evaluation is really too high.
But it is not surprising at all that Zidane likes Yaya Toure.
Because both of them have big and strong bodies, as well as delicate footwork.
If Zidane were active at the moment, he would probably only be able to move back instead of playing as a No.10.
Florentino said nothing, but secretly remembered the name Yaya Toure in his heart.
……
When the team as a whole is in trouble, the players on the field will be very depressed to find that nothing they do goes well.
Just like when we played against Real Betis.
Argentine midfielder Gago's ball handling, passing and dribbling all won warm applause.
After that game, many people even said that he was Redondo II.
This made the Argentines feel very happy, and they felt that they were finally going to make it.
But when it came to the match against Bayswater Chinese, he found that the situation was not the case at all.
Just like this time in the 33rd minute.
When he was dribbling the ball forward, trying to instigate an attack and support his teammates in the frontcourt, Matuidi suddenly came out from the side and intercepted the ball.
After the steal, Matuidi passed the ball to Modric.
The Croatians quickly moved to the right again.
Walcott dribbled the ball diagonally towards the flank, but with Heinze and Cannavaro in front of him, it was obvious that he couldn't go any further.
So the little tiger passed the ball back.
Modric attacked head-on and received the ball, but was disturbed by Las Diarra.
Without stopping the ball, he passed it directly back to Dzeko.
Dzeko had his back to the direction of attack. When he stopped the ball, he turned sideways and passed the ball to Gareth Bale with the outside of his left foot. He then pointed forward, bypassed Metzelder and quickly moved forward.
Gareth Bale understood what he meant and, without stopping the ball, swept his right foot and sent the ball passed by Dzeko directly into the left side of the penalty area.
The Bosnian center forward quickly rushed forward, caught up with Gareth Bale's pass, and without stopping the ball, shot directly with his left foot.
There was a bang at the scene, and the ball passed through Casillas' side at an extremely fast speed, almost brushing the left post, and went into Real Madrid's goal again.
The whole process of scoring the goal was very smooth without any drag.
Dzeko turned and ran excitedly.
Scored twice!
The entire Bernabeu Stadium fell into deathly silence.
If we say that before this game, they were full of confidence and high hopes for Real Madrid.
Now, they finally understood the despair of Real Betis in this stadium three days ago.
Before the first half, they had already been thwarted by four goals.
What could be worse than this?
The army was defeated like a mountain!
They couldn't believe that the Real Madrid at the Bernabeu tonight was the same team that slaughtered Real Betis with 3 goals in the first half three days ago!
This is simply incredible!
"From the first 30 minutes of the game alone, it is not difficult to see that the two teams are indeed not at the same level in terms of strength."
"Juan de Ramos' team adopted a defensive strategy when facing Barcelona before, but they also lost 0-2 in the end."
"And now, when they faced Bayswater Chinese at home, they wanted to launch their own offensive, but Bayswater Chinese scored four goals."
"This also proves the saying that Real Madrid is only strong when facing La Liga teams other than Barcelona. When facing strong teams of the same level in other leagues in the European arena, Real Madrid's true colors are exposed."
……
The first half ended with 1-4.
During the half-time break, Juande Ramos made a substitution.
He replaced Huntelaar with Javi Garcia.
After the substitution, Higuain and Robben were pushed to the front line, with Raul roaming behind them.
The midfield is a bit like a three-back formation, with Gago, Xavi Garcia and Las Diarra.
Among them, Xavi Garcia is responsible for dragging back.
The player performed very well when he was on loan to Osasuna, but after returning to Real Madrid, he never got a chance to play and failed to continue his previous performance.
Juande Ramos adopted a formation similar to 4312 and took the initiative to adopt a defensive strategy.
This has stabilized Real Madrid's defense to a large extent.
In addition, the Chinese players in Bayswater had already decided the outcome of the game, and after seeing Real Madrid retreat, they adopted a more ball-controlling style of play to conserve energy.
During the period, Real Madrid once wanted to launch an attack, but the Chinese in Bayswater were frightened by several consecutive counterattacks.
Especially from the 65th minute to the 80th minute, in these short 15 minutes, the game was completely controlled by Bayswater Chinese.
The visiting team launched attacks one after another, threatening Real Madrid's goal time and time again.
If it weren't for the heroic performances of Casillas, Ramos and Heinze, Real Madrid's goal would have been holed countless times.
This also included an incident where Cannavaro handballed in the penalty area, but the referee did not blow the whistle.
This was a very clear misjudgment.
What really embarrassed Real Madrid was that since Real Madrid started to retreat in the second half, there were constant boos from the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium.
By the 70th minute, many Real Madrid fans began to leave the stadium early.
When the Chinese in Bayswater launched a series of fierce attacks and threatened Real Madrid's goal again and again, many Real Madrid fans could not bear to watch any longer.
By the 85th minute, when the live camera swept over, the Bernabeu Stadium was much emptier.
And there were empty seats visibly visible to the naked eye, these were Real Madrid fans who left early.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated Real Madrid 4-1 away from home!
With this score, plus the fact that it is the first leg away from home, Yang Cheng's team has almost advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
……
"I have to say that I have great respect for Real Madrid. They have an excellent attack and can break our goal at any time, so I repeatedly reminded my players before the game to stay focused and concentrated."
"I'm happy that we made some mistakes during the game but we did a good job for the most part."
At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng commented on the opponent of this match and gave praise and affirmation first.
When asked by the media whether this score meant they had advanced to the next round, Yang Cheng denied it.
"Here, we have indeed taken a very solid step forward, but facing an opponent like Real Madrid, no one dares to say that they have won the victory in advance until the last moment."
When it came to the score of 4 to 1, Yang Cheng couldn't stop smiling.
Anyone could read his mood at that moment from his face.
"We have had many big scores this season, even against opponents like Manchester United."
"We performed at a very high level in every game we won against our opponents, which gave us great confidence."
"At the same time, it also makes us understand how we should strive for a victory!"
"I am very happy that we showed maturity in this game. Even when we were 0-1 behind, we still played steadily and in our own rhythm and way."
Yang Cheng then praised Real Madrid highly.
But there was one thing he said that the media reporters couldn't grasp. Was he trying to make excuses for Real Madrid's big loss?
Or are you just adding insult to injury?
"I mean no disrespect in saying that if the Real Madrid players had played more aggressively and with more fighting spirit, the game would have been more exciting, especially in the second half."
“It’s going to be an extraordinary, absolutely fantastic evening!”
"I feel that compared to when I first came to the Bernabeu, Real Madrid showed us progress tonight!"
This caused a lot of discussion in the Spanish media.
Even protest.
It's already 1 to 4, and we're still improving?
Isn't this humiliating?
Is it that the more progress you make, the more you lose?
A British media reporter at the scene couldn't help but laugh and kindly reminded his Spanish colleagues.
"Go back and check, what were the scores of Yang Cheng's previous two visits to the Bernabéu?"
"At least you scored a goal this time."
“Isn’t this a form of progress?”
These British reporters were laughing so happily.
The Chinese in Bayswater are bringing honor to the Premier League and Britain!
……
Compared with Yang Cheng, Juande Ramos admitted at the beginning of the press conference that with a score of 1-4 at home, it was very unlikely for Real Madrid to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
"We have to admit that the level of the Chinese in Bayswater is higher than ours."
Juande Ramos expressed regret that his players had done their best.
“We scored a goal shortly after the start, which gave the whole team a lot of confidence, but they equalized very quickly and took the lead.”
"That run was a little overwhelming for us, especially in the first half."
"At halftime, I could feel that our players were in a lot of pain."
Juande Ramos spoke highly of the Chinese in Bayswater.
"The biggest difference in tonight's game is that, apart from Barcelona, we have never encountered an opponent as strong as the Bayswater Chinese."
Juande Ramos also defended himself, saying that he had played games with a team in London.
"When I was coaching Tottenham, they didn't get much advantage against the Chinese in Bayswater and I almost won."
"I'm not trying to make excuses, but I'm trying to say that Real Madrid doesn't have the strength to challenge the Chinese in Bayswater right now."
When a Spanish media reporter relayed Yang Cheng's comments on Real Madrid, especially the sentence that he saw Real Madrid's progress, Juande Ramos was confused and politely expressed his gratitude, while also believing that Real Madrid was indeed making progress.
It was not until the media reporters listed the past results of the matches between Real Madrid and the Chinese in Bayswater that Juande Ramos realized that he had fallen into the trap set by the media reporters.
Don’t blame Yang Cheng, blame these damn media reporters for setting a trap!
……
When the news spread that the Chinese in Bayswater had reversed Real Madrid 4-1 at the Bernabeu, media and fans around the world were discussing it hotly.
Everyone basically believes that Yang Cheng's team will be a strong contender for the Champions League title this season.
Juande Ramos was criticized by the Spanish media and bombarded by Real Madrid fans because of a gaffe in the post-match press conference.
This has also become a beautiful landscape after the Champions League.
But in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match, Bayswater Chinese was not the most prominent team.
Bayern Munich defeated Sporting Lisbon 5-0 away from home. Ribery single-handedly not only performed a hat trick, but also assisted Luca Toni to score twice. He directed five goals by himself and was in the limelight.
Arsenal also defeated the Red Wolves Roma 1-0 away with Arshavin's goal.
Overnight, journalists from all over the world began to pay attention to the Chinese in Bayswater.
Yang Cheng's team not only defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, but even those who were transferred out, especially Ribery and Arshavin who were transferred out at high prices, became the number one contributors to Bayern Munich and Arsenal's victory over their opponents.
This immediately caused heated discussions in the media all over the world.
While praising Ribery, Germany's Bild newspaper also wrote an article praising the Chinese in Bayswater, believing that they were a breath of fresh air in European football.
While other strong teams are keen on poaching players, Bayswater Chinese are known for training players.
Moreover, the players they have trained have performed at a very high level.
Ribery and Arshavin are the best proof!
French Football Magazine also wrote a commentary in its Champions League special issue, analyzing why the Chinese at Bayswater have been able to continuously train high-level players while the team's combat effectiveness has increased instead of decreased?
Finally, they came to a conclusion.
That is, head coach Yang Cheng is the most critical core soul of this Bayswater Chinese team.
"Every time after selling a core player, Yang Cheng would adjust the team's tactics accordingly to help the team achieve better results and play more beautiful football!"
"This fully demonstrates Yang Cheng's incredible tactical attainments!"
"Under 29 years old, the youngest head coach in the world of football, Yang Cheng is an absolute genius coach in world football!"
……
After returning to London from Madrid, Yang Cheng took a short rest.
On the afternoon of the 28th, the team visited the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal away.
Both teams played away games in the Champions League in the middle of the week, and their opponents were both strong.
This forced them to make appropriate rotations in this game.
Yang Cheng's team took the initiative and launched the first offensive. In the first 10 minutes, they completely dominated the game and threatened Arsenal's goal several times.
But Lloris was very solid in front of goal.
The most threatening moment came in the 9th minute, when Di Maria made a cross from the right, and Lewandowski headed the ball into the goal from close range after missing two great chances.
As a result, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back.
Arsenal also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
The two teams attacked and defended each other, but neither was able to break through the other's goal.
In the 34th minute, the Gunners launched the most threatening attack of the game.
Arshavin made a wonderful pass and Van Persie had a chance to score near the penalty spot, but Neuer saved the ball.
Yang Cheng's team hit the post again in the 50th minute of the second half.
Interestingly, it was still Lewandowski's header.
In the 70th minute, Yang Cheng replaced Dzeko to further strengthen the team's frontcourt attack.
But Wenger was prepared.
In the end, after a hard fight for 90 minutes, the two sides shook hands and made peace with a 0-0 score.
……
After the 27th round of matches, the Premier League teams had mixed results.
Manchester United beat Portsmouth 2-0 at home in this round and won 3 points.
Chelsea narrowly beat Wigan Athletic 2-1.
Manchester City beat West Ham United 1-0 away.
Liverpool lost 0-2 to Middlesbrough away from home.
After two rounds of make-up matches, Bayswater Chinese now has a record of 27 wins, 24 draws and 2 loss in 1 games, with 74 points, leading the Premier League standings.
Yang Cheng's team has shown amazing scoring efficiency this season.
Especially when facing mid- and lower-level teams, the goal efficiency is even more amazing.
Manchester United followed closely with 65 points, but the points gap has been widened to 9 points.
Arsenal scored 56 points and ranked third in the standings.
Manchester City also got 56 points, but ranked fourth due to the disadvantage of goal difference.
Liverpool scored 54 points and Chelsea scored 52 points, ranking 5th and 6th respectively.
After two rounds of make-up matches, Bayswater Chinese's lead in the Premier League has expanded to 9 points.
This made all competitors despair.
Even Ferguson publicly stated after the 27th round of the Premier League that the possibility of a reversal was slim.
The reason is simple: it is already March.
In other words, Yang Cheng and his team have survived the most difficult period.
In fact, the media had already anticipated such a situation.
Previously, Bayswater Chinese had already led the standings with two games less.
In the two subsequent rematches, Bayswater Chinese won both games, especially at Old Trafford, where they beat Manchester United 4-1, establishing a leading advantage.
Based on the original lead, the gap was widened to 6 points, which is a huge lead.
After the third round of make-up matches, the British media were already shouting, "The championship belongs to the Bayswater Chinese!"
Now, it just further confirms their point of view.
……
Three days later, the 3th round of the Premier League.
Bayswater Chinese will host Hull City at home.
Tiger City visited Wembley Stadium and set up an iron bucket formation to defend tightly.
After a hard fight for 90 minutes, Yang Cheng's team finally won a 1-0 victory over Hull City thanks to Dzeko's goal.
Chelsea also won 1-0 away against Portsmouth thanks to Drogba's goal.
Arsenal beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 away.
Liverpool beat Sunderland 2-0 at home.
Manchester City beat Aston Villa 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Kaka and Robinho.
Manchester United reversed Newcastle 2-1 after conceding a goal first.
……
This weekend, the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Bayswater Chinese host Liverpool.
As the second leg against Real Madrid will be held next Wednesday, and Yang Cheng had an agreement with the players before, this game will still be played with all substitutes and young players.
But Benítez's Liverpool will not show mercy to the Chinese in Bayswater.
The Red Army fielded its main lineup.
Goalkeeper: Reina;
Defense: Dossena, Hyypia, Carragher and Arbeloa;
Midfield: Lucas Leiva and Xabi Alonso form a double defensive midfielder, with Riera, Gerrard and Kuyt in front;
Forward: Torres.
Liverpool came to Wembley Stadium with the determination to win.
But these young players from Bayswater Chinese are no pushovers either. They eliminated many Premier League powerhouses along the way before reaching the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Facing Liverpool, they still showed great tenacity.
Under the aggressive momentum of Liverpool, the young players of Bayswater Chinese still dared to attack, and launched a sharp attack from the beginning, which almost made Liverpool unable to withstand it.
Reina saved a very crucial shot in front of the goal from Lewandowski.
Liverpool made a strong effort in the second half of the first half, but the Reds players were not in particularly good shape.
Gerrard and Torres both missed chances in succession.
This meant that both teams were unable to break the deadlock on the field.
After the second half, both teams made frequent substitutions in an attempt to change the situation.
But anyone can score.
In the end, after 90 minutes, the two sides tied 0-0.
According to the rules of the FA Cup, there will be a second round of make-up matches if there is a draw in the first five rounds.
But after entering the quarterfinals, one game will decide the outcome.
The two sides entered overtime.
