I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 183: Continuous explosions! The entire Premier League went crazy! Who said that the big dogs in the Middle East are stupid and rich? [Subscribe]

"Don't worry, Robert."

"I have absolute trust in you, and no one can shake your position in my heart."

"At the same time, I am very patient with you."

"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself now."

"The most important thing is to stay calm, play the game steadily, and devote all your efforts to training and competition."

"Leave the rest to me!"

When Brian Kidd arrived at the door of Yang Cheng's office, Lewandowski was inside.

The office door was not closed, and he heard Yang Cheng's promise to the Polish center.

Then he saw Lewandowski get up and leave with satisfaction.

When the Pole came out and saw Brian Kidd, he smiled and greeted him.

"Is this kid losing his temper?"

Brian Kidd walked in with a smile.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "His current mentality is not good. The more anxious he is, the less likely he is to score."

The so-called goal drought is often caused by the players' psychological factors.

Even someone as strong as Messi can also fall into a goal drought, right?
Messi is like a paranoid person, he wants every shot to hit the blind corner.

His shooting skills are seriously underestimated.

As long as his mind is disturbed, this kind of shot towards the blind corner will often be a thousand miles away.

So does everyone else.

Therefore, for a scorer, calmness is the most valuable thing.

"No wonder he is like that. Who could have thought that this kid Carroll would suddenly become such a hit?" Brian Kidd himself did not expect this.

Yang Cheng was optimistic about Andy Carroll's prospects, but he never expected it to happen so soon.

In his opinion, it would be best if the English center forward could play for the Chinese in Bayswater for two or three years.

During this period, with Lewandowski as the main player and Lambert and Carroll as the secondary players, the team's forward line is guaranteed.

When the time is right, promote Harry Kane to compete.

He has confidence in Harry Kane and will be able to suppress Carroll.

At that time, Carroll can be sold and the front line will have a smooth transition.

But who could have imagined that the situation would turn out like this.

"Lewandowski was fine in the warm-up match, how come he suddenly stopped scoring goals?"

Yang Cheng also had no idea about psychological matters.

There's really nothing we can do about this kind of thing.

Maybe, in the next game, Lewandowski will suddenly explode.

Who can I talk to to reason with you?
"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?" Brian Kidd asked with concern.

If you don't tell me, Yang Cheng would have forgotten it.

"Capello called me and asked if I could send him some videos of Carroll's games so that you can sort them out."

As soon as Yang Cheng finished speaking, Brian Kidd was already very surprised.

"He's interested in Carol?"

"Not only that, in the fifth round of the league, he was sitting in the stands of Wembley Stadium and peeking!"

After saying this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Peeping?

The first thing that came to his mind was the wonderful acting of the Japanese middle-aged macho Mr. Tanbuchi.

Not to mention, when Mr. Tian Yuan puts on a suit and tie, he looks somewhat like Capello.

"Is it possible? Joining the national team so soon?" Brian Kidd didn't notice Yang Cheng's bad taste.

Of course Yang Cheng would not tell him that if he had not changed history, there was a kid named Theo Walcott in his previous life who was forced to enter the World Cup in Germany when he was 17 years old, before he even played a minute for Arsenal.

What’s even more outrageous is that he is touted as the hope of English football.

Andy Carroll is at least 20 years old, and he has made many appearances in the Premier League and scored several goals.

"Given England's current situation, Capello would probably want to try everything."

Yang Cheng guessed, "Using Andy Carroll, we can copy Chelsea's tactics."

Brian Kidd's eyes lit up.

There are many similarities between Chelsea during Mourinho's time and England.

The midfield, in particular, lacked ball control and creativity.

If England follows Chelsea's approach of having the center forward feed back to the midfield, it will undoubtedly be very suitable and can also bring out the advantages of Gerrard and Lampard.

In contrast, other English center forwards, even Crouch, find it difficult to play this role well.

Apart from anything else, his height of just over 2 meters makes running on the court a big problem.

"I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."

"You have to keep paying attention to Lewandowski as well."

"it is good."

After seeing Brian Kidd off, Yang Cheng smiled lightly and let the matter go.

He never felt that the competition between Lewandowski and Carroll would be a problem.

The Bayswater Chinese are not mercenaries!
Yang Cheng forgot which famous coach once said that managing a locker room is to let every player know clearly why they are fighting!

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just a little bit elementary.

The 23 players in the first team come from different countries, speak different languages, have different living habits, educational backgrounds and beliefs. When they come to Bayswater Chinese, they all know very well what they are fighting for.

Even if we put aside all the other lies, at least they are fighting for money and fame!

Is that correct?

Is this how you manage the locker room?
In Yang Cheng's current situation, if the players were playing for money, they would definitely compete for salary, fight for playing time for appearance fees, and fight for ball possession for match bonuses and goal bonuses...

Because your money is not my money, and your name is not my name.

This is where conflicts easily arise among mercenaries.

For fame and profit, things seem to be great when things are going smoothly.

But once under pressure, once they encounter adversity, once internal conflicts arise, they will collapse faster than anyone else.

To some extent, this was basically the case with Manchester City last season and Chelsea under Ranieri.

Can't hold on at the critical moment!
Even Arsenal was similar before.

Therefore, when Yang Cheng formed the team that year, he kept instilling a belief in the players.

Bayswater Chinese must strive to be the best!

Over the past few years, the team has been constantly challenging strong teams starting from the lower-level leagues.

No matter how strong the opponent is, we must dare to fight him.

Lost, but got back up quickly!
After years of management by Yang Cheng, this has gradually become the locker room culture of the Chinese at Bayswater, and has brought together the consensus of every player in the locker room.

After coming to Bayswater, whether for money or fame, the Chinese will eventually come to agree with the belief of "striving for the best".

But this is far from enough.

These players not only agree with it themselves, but they are also very sure that everyone else in the locker room shares the same belief as themselves.

This means that no matter what difficulties and challenges they encounter, they can trust their teammates around them.

I firmly believe that they will fight to the death like me!

Therefore, every player is more willing to invest and give without any worries!
Human power is limited. Even if they lose, the Chinese in Bayswater never blame each other, but stand up again quickly.

As their leader, Yang Cheng is also able to enforce discipline.

This is the core fighting power of the Chinese in Bayswater!

Therefore, Yang Cheng has always said that there is only one indispensable person in the Bayswater Chinese team!
……

This weekend, the 6th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Hull City away.

Since the League Cup is next Wednesday, Yang Cheng will still send out all his main players in this game.

Phil Brown's team sat at home, set up camp and adopted a 442 formation.

But in reality, the whole team retreated and defended tightly.

Throughout the first half, the Chinese players from Bayswater kept pressing the opponent, firing 14 shots but failing to score a single goal.

Not only did Lewandowski not score a goal.

Gareth Bale, Di Maria and Rakitic all failed to score.

Modric started the game, but it was of no avail.

Playing at home, Tiger City was determined to hold on for the game.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made a decisive substitution after seeing that the adjustments made during the halftime break did not work.

Carroll replaced Gareth Bale and came on to form a double center forward with Lewandowski.

Hazard replaces Di Maria.

After the substitution, the Chinese in Bayswater also changed to a 442 formation, but the midfield was a small diamond formation. Hazard played the number ten position, responsible for the attack, while Rakitic and Modric provided support from behind.

The two full-backs Marcelo and Piszczek moved forward and took charge of the wing.

Yang Cheng clearly wanted to fight to the death with Huer City.

With the support of Rakitic and Modric, Hazard was very active, but still failed to break through Hull City's iron defense.

It was not until the 75th minute that Piszczek was fouled and won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Modric took the free kick and sent it into the penalty area.

Carroll jumped up like a green onion in dry land, overpowered center back Songk, and headed the ball into Hull City's goal.

1 is better than 0!

This was also the only goal of the game!
"Now, when these mid- and lower-tier teams meet us, they basically defend us tightly, especially at home."

Brian Kidd shook his head in distress.

Yang Cheng was sighing.

Carol again!
Another header!

It was still the only goal of the game!
What to do?

"I think, Jenny, that you and your data analysis team have been a bit lazy lately."

As soon as Yang Cheng finished speaking, Jenny Vio felt aggrieved and looked very hurt.

Didn’t they just score a goal?

"You see, when we break the dense defense, it becomes increasingly difficult for our set pieces to be effective." Yang Cheng laughed.

"In the past few years, you were so majestic. When you stood on the sidelines, your opponents were terrified. Now they are not afraid of you anymore."

The coaching staff burst into laughter.

They were all happy after winning the game.

Besides, they all knew Yang Cheng and knew that this was a deliberate joke.

"It turns out that your more than a thousand positioning offensive routines are not enough. You need to develop more and keep up with the times. How do they defend? We will predict their defensive routines!"

Gianni Vio curled his lips arrogantly.

This technical engineering guy seemed to be saying: They can’t defend me!
Bayswater Chinese finally won a narrow 1-0 away win over Hull City thanks to Carroll's goal.

Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

In Liverpool's away game against West Ham United, the game was tied twice, but Torres scored twice and narrowly defeated West Ham United 3-2.

It is worth mentioning that Torres' goal that decided the outcome was also in the 75th minute.

In this round, Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at home.

The most anticipated match of this round is the Manchester derby.

Manchester United, playing at home, took the lead three times, only for Gareth Barry and Kaka to equalize the score three times.

Kaka scored twice, the second goal coming in the 90th minute.

But no one expected that Michael Owen would score the winning goal in the 96th minute.

Manchester City coach Ancelotti was furious and accused the referee Martin Atkinson of making a very stupid and low-level mistake in the post-match press conference.

"What reason did he have to give seven minutes of extra time in the second half?"

"I can't imagine it!"

"In the fourth round, Wenger said that all teams always suffer inexplicably when facing Manchester United away at Old Trafford."

“I couldn’t understand it then, but now, I do!”

Ancelotti believes that this should have been a draw and Kaka's equalizing goal was very exciting.

But the extra long stoppage time killed Manchester City!

In any case, after this round of games, there are only two undefeated teams left in the Premier League.

Chelsea and Manchester United.

Ferguson said proudly that his team had won three strong matches.

He won the first round against Bayswater Chinese, the fourth round against Arsenal, and the sixth round against Manchester City.

However, all three games were won with some controversy.

……

Midweek, League Cup 3rd round.

Bayswater Chinese welcomed the Black Cats Sunderland at home.

Yang Cheng played with an all-substitute lineup and Sunderland also made rotations.

Just four minutes into the game, Hazard made a wonderful pass to Aaron Ramsey, who broke into the penalty area and scored.

1 is better than 0!

In the 23rd minute, Walcott made a cross from the right, Carroll overpowered the Sunderland central defender in the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest, and shot with his right foot, penetrating the goal guarded by Mike Taylor and further expanding the score.

2 is better than 0!

This score was maintained until the end.

Bayswater Chinese successfully advanced to the 4th round.

……

March 9st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese will face Bolton at home.

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, rubbing his hands constantly.

He felt that he was not wearing enough clothes today.

At the very least, wear a suit jacket.

On the field, players from both teams have already positioned themselves, waiting for referee Clattenburg to blow the whistle for the game to begin.

Due to the fact that Bayswater Chinese have encountered tight defenses from Aston Villa and Hull City in the past period of time, the team's offense has been curbed.

Therefore, Yang Cheng made some targeted adjustments to the team's offensive tactics in this game.

He needs to go to the competition to see the specific effects.

If the effect is not good in this game, he will have to make further adjustments in the away game against Burnley a week later.

Otherwise, after two weeks of national team matches, the players would come back and play against Arsenal, followed by Real Madrid.

Then there is Manchester City.

This series of games will cost the lives of the Chinese in Bayswater!

Given the fierce competition in the Premier League right now, too many points are lost in strong matches and it is difficult to maintain a top four position.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng quickly walked to the sidelines.

"Luka, Ivan."

Yang Cheng put his hands in front of him and shouted loudly to Modric and Rakitic, signaling them to pay attention to the pre-match deployment.

And Marcelo.

The Brazilian full-back raised his hand high to show that he remembered it.

In the past 6 rounds of games, Bayswater Chinese played 5 games, won 4 and lost 1, scored 17 goals and conceded 2 goals.

Their offensive firepower is second only to Arsenal, which scored 6 goals in the previous six rounds.

But the defensive ability is the strongest in the Premier League.

Yang Cheng and the coaching staff analyzed that this was mainly because the team's most active areas this season were the midfield and backcourt.

Yaya Toure, Maicon and Leighton Baines left the team one after another, which had the greatest impact on the midfield and backcourt.

Therefore, Yang Cheng paid more attention to the midfield and backcourt, and tried to do a good job of defense.

Now, the defense has really improved.

Yang Cheng will then have to think of ways to further strengthen the attack.

Especially when facing those tight defensive teams.

Before, the offense was a bit sloppy.

Now, Yang Cheng needs to further refine and enrich the team's offensive coordination routines.

Therefore, Yang Cheng once again arranged Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Di Maria to start in this game.

The two full-backs are still Marcelo and Piszczek.

……

As soon as the game starts.

The Chinese players of Bayswater took advantage of their home field advantage, took the initiative and launched the attack.

Bolton head coach Gary Megson repeatedly stressed before the game that they should pay attention to the opening attack of the Chinese in Bayswater.

When the whistle sounded, Bolton took the initiative to retreat.

The Chinese in Bayswater were approaching in large numbers.

What is different from before is that Rakitic and Modric both pressed forward more actively and participated in the attack in the frontcourt.

Two minutes into the game, the first shot of the game came from Rakitic's long-range shot.

Then, Modric made a wonderful pass into the penalty area. Lewandowski stopped the ball, dribbled past the defender, and shot with his left foot, but was saved by goalkeeper Jaskelainen.

It seems that the Polish center forward has not yet come out of the shadow of goal drought.

With Rakitic and Modric both pressing forward and participating more actively in the frontcourt attack, the offensive means of the Chinese at Bayswater were obviously enriched and the coordination became more detailed.

At least, we no longer rely solely on the speed of the wing.

Because Yang Cheng knows very well that when the opponent gives up the ball and defends tightly, speed is difficult to play an effective role most of the time.

It was like the 4th minute.

When Marcelo dribbled the ball across the center line and passed it to Gareth Bale in front, right-back Ricketts, who is also a Welsh international, had already retreated in front of Gareth Bale to prevent him from cutting inside and going down the flank.

This meant that although Gareth Bale sped up, he was unable to break through.

Passing the ball or relying on speed to break through is not a panacea.

When he reached the left side of the penalty area, he had to slow down and pass the ball back to Marcelo who was coming from behind.

Marcelo stopped the ball and passed it horizontally with his left foot.

At this time, Rakitic on the flank quickly moved forward, received the ball outside the left corner of the penalty area, and dribbled into the penalty area.

Rakitic dribbled the ball forward and broke into the penalty area, leading the midfielder and center back to intercept.

Marcelo took the opportunity to move sideways to the left corner of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale also quickly retreated to Marcelo's position.

Through this rotation, Rakitic failed to get a chance in the penalty area, so he chose to dribble the ball horizontally to the left side outside the penalty area and passed it back to Gareth Bale.

At this moment, the Welsh were unguarded.

Gareth Bale stopped the ball with the inside of his left foot and moved it to his right side, then cut inside and passed the ball to Marcelo.

After passing the ball, Gareth Bale suddenly started, shook off Ricketts, and quickly cut into the small penalty area from the left corner of the penalty area.

Marcelo has his back to the center and is facing the left sideline.

When Gareth Bale passed the ball, Marcelo was in a threatening position, pulling out an opposing defender from inside the penalty area.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian also saw a fast-starting Gareth Bale.

When Gareth Bale's pass came to him, the Brazilian lifted the ball with his left foot, over the defender's head and into the left corner of the small penalty area behind him.

When the ball hit the ground and bounced up, Gareth Bale just arrived on horseback, met the falling football again, and shot it with his left foot.

The Welshman's shot was very clever, not going straight to the near corner, but to the far corner.

The ball shot from the outside of the goalkeeper to the base of the right post, hit the inside of the right post, and bounced into the goal.

The goalkeeper can't do anything about it!
“A very beautiful goal-scoring combination!”

"Left from the Bayswater Chinese!"

“The passing and cutting between the three players was very exciting and showed us the familiar Chinese players in Bayswater!”

“I have to say, this goal was very beautiful.”

"Three offensive players broke through the defense set up by four defensive players."

“The Bayswater Chinese’s frontcourt attack is very clever!”

Gareth Bale called out to Rakitic and Marcelo along the way, urging them to come to the sidelines to celebrate the goal together.

Yang Cheng raised his arms high and cheered excitedly for the goal. Through this back-and-forth crossover, the players pulled and forced the opponent's defense to have a vacuum. Gareth Bale took advantage of his speed and quickly cut in, shaking off the defenders to create opportunities.

In the past, Rakitic played the role of the final pass.

But in this way, the offense seems to be rigid and without variation.

Like just now, Rakitic made a forward run and then pulled out of the penalty area to attract the attention of the defensive players. Then Marcelo appeared on the flank and played the role of the final pass.

When attacking like this, the defensive players will definitely run after you, making it basically impossible to defend.

In Yang Cheng's opinion, in order to suppress the opponent for a long time, it is necessary to create offensive opportunities through running and pulling in local areas.

This is the area that the Chinese in Bayswater will focus on improving next.

……

Just 11 minutes after the last goal, the Chinese player of Bayswater successfully intercepted the ball in the midfield and Matic passed the ball to the right.

Piszczek passed to Di Maria.

The Argentine dribbled the ball quickly to the outside of the right corner of Bolton's penalty area, stopped suddenly, flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot, cut inside laterally, and made a cross pass.

Modric quickly inserted.

Under the relentless pressure of the defensive players, Modric failed to stop the ball properly on his first try when he broke into the penalty area.

A bit big.

But the Croatian midfielder reacted quickly, made an abrupt stop, turned around, stuck the ball to his feet, protected it, and then made another horizontal pass out of the penalty area to the left side of the top arc.

This was originally the position that belonged to Rakitic.

But now?

Rakitic has already advanced to the penalty spot.

If Modric had not stopped and shot directly, it would have been possible to create chaos in the penalty area.

Rakitic's forward run also took away the defender.

When Marcelo got the ball, he took a look inside the penalty area, gently rubbed his left foot, and sent a lob pass.

The ball fell from the left side of the arc top area to the right side of the front of the small penalty area.

Lewandowski, with his shooter's instinct, realised that the ball was not meant for him.

Marcelo knew him.

If he competes with Gary Cahill for the header, he may not necessarily have a chance of winning.

Because he is not a header fanatic like Carroll!

The Poles' keen sense of smell allowed them to quickly determine the landing point.

He took a big step forward before Gary Cahill, dived down, and headed the ball passed by Marcelo directly into the Bolton goal.

All of Lewandowski's judgments come from his instinctive reactions.

And when he headed the ball, he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, his body balance was very strong, and he stood firm on his feet after just a stumble.

When he turned around and looked at the goal, Lewandowski was completely stunned.

The ball went in!
The ball really went in!!

I scored a goal!!!

"Wow!!!!"

Lewandowski clenched his fists excitedly, roared with all his strength, and rushed out of the court.

The entire Wembley Stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

All 9 fans were shouting Lewandowski's name with all their might.

The Polish center rushed to the sidelines and to the front of the fans' stands, roaring with a ferocious face, venting his inner emotions.

All the pressure he had been carrying for the past month completely disappeared at the moment of scoring the goal!

Suddenly, he felt relaxed and refreshed all over!
Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Rakitic and others chased after him from behind, hugged him, and all celebrated the goal for him.

This is his first goal of the new season!
Yes, the first goal of the official match!
……

Breaking the goal drought was like breaking through a layer of window paper.

In the 41st minute of the first half, the attack was still launched from the left.

Marcelo completed a beautiful one-two pass with Rakitic on the flank, and Rakitic passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale quickly inserted and knocked the ball in front of the goal.

Lewandowski easily pushed the ball into Bolton's goal.

3 is better than 0!

Scored twice!

Yang Cheng jumped up with excitement.

He looked even happier than Lewandowski.

Although, he has always believed that Lewandowski will be able to withstand the pressure.

But in fact, he was still a little worried.

He was afraid that Lewandowski, who was invincible in his previous life, would have problems in his hands.

Fortunately, Lewandowski really withstood the pressure.

That's why Yang Cheng was so excited when Lewandowski scored twice.

Especially when the Pole finished celebrating and walked back, Yang Cheng stretched out his hand to him from afar.

"Thank you, boss!" Lewandowski ran over with a smile and high-fived Yang Cheng.

……

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.

Bolton launched an attack at the beginning of the game and created a corner kick.

Gary Cahill headed the ball to assist his teammate to score.

But just 8 minutes later, Lewandowski assisted Gareth Bale to score another goal.

Both of them scored twice.

4 is better than 1!

In the 72nd minute, Matic also contributed an assist, and Rakitic scored with a long shot.

After securing victory, Yang Cheng made early substitutions to save strength for the Champions League in the middle of the week.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated Bolton 5-1 at home.

Also in this round, Manchester United defeated Stoke City 2-0 away.

Tottenham Hotspur also beat Burnley 5-0 at home, with Robbie Keane scoring four goals.

Arsenal beat Fulham 1-0 away from home thanks to a goal from Robin van Persie.

Chelsea, who have been on a winning streak so far this season, seemed to be sleepwalking in this away game against Wigan Athletic.

Hiddink's team clearly underestimated the determination of Wigan Athletic, who were playing at home, to win, especially their quick attacks from the flanks, which made Chelsea unable to cope with.

In the end, the Blues lost 1-3 away.

Not only that, Chelsea also lost three main players in this battle.

This is also an inevitable problem as the team ages.

……

Anfield, Liverpool, North West England.

In the 7th round of the Premier League, the match between Liverpool and Hull City is in full swing.

Tiger City had just had a tough battle against Bayswater Chinese at home in the last round and almost tied with this strong team.

In this round, as a guest at Anfield, they also performed very bravely at one point.

In the first half, they were even tied with Liverpool at 1-1 at one point, and the battle was very close.

But Torres' second goal dealt a heavy blow to Hull City's morale.

In the second half, Torres scored just 2 minutes into the game, completing a hat trick.

Gerrard scored again in the 61st minute, basically securing the victory.

But on the field, Liverpool continued to attack.

Head coach Benítez replaced Torres, Gerrard and others for the Champions League next Wednesday, but after Babel and other players came on, the team's offensive momentum remained unabated.

This was not what Benítez had intended.

But before the game, he received a notice from top management.

Today, Anfield will welcome a special guest, we must do our best to win, and win beautifully!

This also made Benítez feel very novel.

During the game, he turned his head from time to time and looked at the VIP box where the guests were.

Special guest?
Who is it?

No one knew that while the battle was in full swing at Anfield, in a box on the stands of the stadium, Gillette, one of Liverpool's owners, was warmly receiving a special guest.

Wearing a white headscarf and a white robe, one can tell at a glance that this guest is from the Middle East.

The three muscular bodyguards behind him in black suits highlighted his noble status.

Gillette addressed him, most warmly, as Prince Faisal.

When the game reached its final stage and Liverpool scored two goals in just 5 minutes to extend the score to 6-1, Gillette was extremely excited.

"Look, Prince Faisal, this is the strength of our Liverpool!"

"The previous few rounds of the league were just accidents, and we haven't adjusted yet."

"When we adjust, you will find that we are the strongest team in the Premier League!"

Prince Faisal, who looked to be in his forties, spoke fluent English and said, "In Saudi Arabia, and even in the entire Middle East, everyone knows that the strongest team in the Premier League right now is Bayswater Chinese."

After saying this, the Middle Eastern prince glanced at Gillette jokingly, as if to say: I am not that kind of newbie who knows nothing about football. I also did some research before coming to the UK.

Although he was exposed, Gillette didn't care and laughed, "Our strength is comparable to that of the Chinese in Bayswater."

Prince Faisal decided not to bother with the matter any further as the woman was so thick-skinned.

"To be honest, our royal family is indeed very interested in investing in the Premier League. In fact, a few years ago, a consortium in Dubai almost acquired Liverpool, so we came."

Gillette nodded continuously, "This just proves the value of Liverpool."

"You know what? We are the top team in England with the most league titles, more than Manchester United. Our history is more glorious than Manchester United. We have countless die-hard fans all over the world."

"But you now also have a huge debt of 2.45 million pounds," Prince Faisal said lightly.

In a word, Gillette was directly depressed.

Who said no?
When they acquired Liverpool, their competitor was a consortium from Dubai in the Middle East.

They originally hoped to take over Liverpool, run it for a while, and then sell it at a high price to cash in, making a profit from the difference.

But who could have imagined that after Liverpool was acquired by them, its business would get worse year by year.

Now, the company is making losses every year and is piled high in debt.

If the team had not made it to the Champions League at the last minute last season, they didn't know whether they could have survived until 2010.

But even so, the heavy debt of 2.45 million pounds still made Gillette and Hicks feel extremely heavy.

"Prince Faisal, we have absolutely no problem with your proposal to build a youth training school in Saudi Arabia, and we will fully cooperate."

"But we also hope that you can consider capital injection. We are willing to make appropriate concessions, 25% of the shares, 1.25 million pounds." Gillette gave its asking price.

Prince Faisal smiled and said, "I have already asked for instructions. We are not considering capital injection."

After a pause, the prince from the Middle East cleared his throat and gave his own plan.

"Either you sell us all your shares, or we won't invest and only cooperate with you on the youth training school."

Prince Faisal stood up immediately after he finished speaking.

The three bodyguards, who had been standing silently behind him, moved closer at this time.

"In any case, I must remind you, Mr. Gillette, given your current situation, if you lose the Champions League this season, Liverpool's value will further shrink, and your financial situation will become even more grim, even..."

Prince Faisal stopped there.

"So, you and your partners should think about it carefully. We are still very sincere."

After saying this, Prince Faisal left the box accompanied by three bodyguards.

Gillette was left standing there, feeling confused.

He tried his best but just couldn't convince Prince Faisal to invest.

The wealthy people in the Middle East only want to acquire and monopolize Liverpool.

But whether it is Gillette or Hicks, they are more hoping to raise funds to alleviate the club's high debt.

But Faisal was right about one thing.

If the club loses the Champions League this season, its financial situation will further deteriorate, or even go bankrupt.

By then, Liverpool's valuation will have fallen rapidly.

"So damn smart! Who says that all the wealthy people in the Middle East are stupid and have lots of money?" Gillette cursed viciously.

He still needs to have a good talk with his damn partner about this matter.

……

Middle Eastern consortium acquires Liverpool?
This news quickly grabbed the front pages of major British media after the end of the 7th round of the Premier League.

It even overshadowed Chelsea's first defeat of the season.

Yang Cheng also felt very strange about this.

Isn't that too secretive?
"They leaked this on purpose." Xia Qing saw through it at a glance.

“Even the consortium, which may be from Saudi Arabia, is happy to be exposed.”

After thinking about it, Yang Cheng basically agreed with this analysis.

"It is said that Liverpool's current financial situation is very bad. If they can't find money, they don't even know if they can survive until 2010." Xia Qing also has his own news channels.

Adam Crozier was drinking tea leisurely on the side and said with a smile: "The information I got is that they probably won't reach an agreement."

"Why?" Brian Kidd asked in surprise.

"Hicks, the American, is very calculating. They want to use the money from the Middle Eastern consortium to ease the financial pressure on the club. They even want to use the capital injection from the Middle Eastern consortium to recruit players and help Liverpool reverse its decline."

"On the contrary, it was Gillette who was said to have brought in the Saudi consortium this time."

Yang Cheng listened silently, but his heart was already in turmoil.

In his previous life, the Yankees could no longer hold on in 2010 and Liverpool was placed under financial administration.

As a result, it was copied by another American, Henry from Fenway Group.

Yang Cheng was not particularly clear about the specific details, but he just heard that Henry used some not-so-stellar means to acquire Liverpool at a very low price.

It can be said that Gillette and Hicks deserved it.

But Liverpool fell into decline for many years.

"With the strong rise of teams like Bayswater Chinese, Chelsea and Manchester City, and the acquisition of Arsenal and Manchester United by foreign capital, the market value of the Premier League has also risen."

"As its influence grows, it is normal for foreign investors to target it."

After a pause, Adam Crozier sighed, "But these foreign financial groups are not fools. When it comes to financial tricks, football clubs can't catch up with them even if they flatter them."

"Who says it's not? Manchester United is a living example!" Brian Kidd said indignantly.

As the most commercially successful football club in European football, Manchester United was actually outwitted by the Glazer family.

All the fans are cursing the Glazer family for their despicable behavior.

But if you think about it the other way around, isn’t this proof that those who lag behind will be beaten?

Sacrificing Manchester United to serve as a warning to other European teams may not be a bad thing.

Just think about it, even a club like Manchester United has been beaten to the point where it has no power to fight back. Other clubs are basically like fish on the chopping board in front of foreign financial groups.

Of course, Gillette and Hicks are exceptions, as they simply wanted to make a quick buck but ended up ruining themselves.

They do have ways of playing with money, but football clubs do more than just play with money.

……

For Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese, the best news in the seventh round of the Premier League is that Lewandowski finally broke his goal drought.

The Polish center forward scored twice to help the team beat Bolton 5-1.

Just three days later, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Bayswater Chinese played at home against the Hungarian team Debrecen.

2 minutes and 46 seconds into the game, Lewandowski was at the front of the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Modric, he turned and shot, breaking the opponent's goal and scoring the first goal for the team.

1 is better than 0!

Afterwards, the Chinese in Bayswater pursued the victory.

In the 11th minute, midfielder Rakitic scored again with a long shot from outside the penalty area.

2 is better than 0!

After scoring two goals in a row, the Chinese team in Bayswater were unstoppable and showed excellent form.

In the 35th minute, Walcott created a free kick opportunity on the right.

Modric took the free kick and Pepe scored with a header to further expand the score.

3 is better than 0!

Just 7 minutes later, Lewandowski headed the ball into the goal from Piszczek's cross from the right.

4 is better than 0!

Three minutes later, in the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Gareth Bale cooperated with Marcelo on the left, the Welshman passed the ball in front of the goal, and Lewandowski scored in front of the goal, completing a hat trick!
5 is better than 0!

The whole Wembley Stadium was in a frenzy!
In just 4 days and 2 games, Lewandowski first scored twice and now has a hat trick, scoring 5 goals!
It's like kicking like crazy!
More importantly, among the five goals scored by the Polish center forward, some were scored with his left foot, some with his right foot, some with his headers and some with long shots.

It’s really comprehensive!
After the second half, it took the Chinese from Bayswater only 6 minutes to break Debrecen's goal again.

It was a quick counterattack after a steal, with Walcott assisting Gareth Bale to score.

The Welsh teenager has also performed very well this season and has scored more and more goals.

He has already scored 6 goals in the league!

With a 6-goal lead, Yang Cheng made substitutions and the team slowed down its offensive.

Debrecen scored a goal through a counterattack in the 76th minute.

This is more or less the result of the Chinese in Bayswater deliberately letting the water flow.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Debrecen 6-1 at home.

……

After two rounds of group matches, both Bayswater Chinese and Real Madrid won both games.

The Galacticos first defeated Debrecen 4-1 away from home, and then returned to their home court to beat Marseille 3-0.

Both games were very exciting.

Pellegrini's team is not conservative at all and is also very offensive.

Especially the combination of Dzeko and Ronaldo.

At present, the two superstars have not yet made a clear division of labor, but have already demonstrated super strong offensive firepower.

The Chinese in Bayswater are no less impressive.

Yang Cheng's team scored 9 goals and conceded 2 goals in two rounds, which is not inferior to the star-studded Real Madrid.

This also made the third round of the group stage, when Bayswater Chinese visited the Bernabeu Stadium, attract the attention of fans all over the world.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing the ultimate showdown between these two giants!
The next 3rd and 4th rounds will undoubtedly determine who will be the top of the group.

Both Bayswater Chinese and Real Madrid are determined to win the top spot in the group.

But what is extremely disadvantageous for the Chinese in Bayswater is that before visiting the Bernabeu, after two weeks of national team training, they will face the challenge of Arsenal.

And it's an away game.

……

After the Champions League group stage, the 8th round of the Premier League arrived.

Manchester United finally stopped.

At Old Trafford, Ferguson's team had problems with rotation and drew 2-2 with Sunderland at home.

But Ferguson's game was once again controversial.

Because when Manchester United was trailing 1-2, in the 85th minute, the referee sent off Sunderland defender, former Manchester United player Richardson.

It was not until the 93rd minute that Manchester United equalized the score thanks to Anton Ferdinand's own goal.

Interestingly, before the media had a chance to discuss Sunderland's red card, Ferguson took the initiative to criticize it after the game, saying that the referee's enforcement was poor and that no extra time was awarded for Manchester United's goal in the injury time.

“We could have won the game!”

"The referee Willy is a drag on our game!"

“We will appeal this!”

The media exclaimed, Wow!

Arsenal beat Blackburn 6-2 at home.

Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City drew 1-1 with Aston Villa away from home.

Although the Blue Moon does not have any Champions League matches, they will participate in the Europa League.

Bayswater Chinese beat Burnley 6-1 away from home.

Lewandowski scored twice again.

He also contributed 1 assist.

The Polish center forward exploded in three consecutive games and his form quickly improved, shocking the entire European football world!
