I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 193 Snowstorm kills the Red Devil! If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I'm Hello Kitty? [Subscribe]

March 1st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the 21rd round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese faced Manchester United at home.

It coincided with the most severe cold and snowstorm in 30 years. During the competition, the local temperature in London was only minus 4 degrees Celsius.

Although the floor heating system was turned on during the game, it was only on the grass.

The stadium was surrounded by white snow, separating the stadium from the stands. It was like a snow-white scarf covering the green grass, which was particularly eye-catching.

Playing in such cold weather, the biggest challenge for the team is injuries.

How to defeat the opponent while avoiding injury as much as possible has become a test for both sides.

Both the Chinese in Bayswater and Manchester United were clearly affected by the extreme temperatures.

The field conditions were poor and players from both sides made many mistakes during the match.

So after the opening, both teams played very cautiously.

Especially when Manchester United played away from home, they mainly relied on defense and counterattack.

Throughout the first half, Bayswater Chinese had a ball possession rate of 67% and 12 shots.

Manchester United built their defense into an iron barrel, blocking the home team's attacks time and time again.

But in the 49th minute of the second half, the Chinese from Bayswater took the lead in breaking Manchester United's goal.

Manchester United committed a foul when counterattacking in the frontcourt, giving the Chinese in Bayswater a free kick opportunity in the backcourt.

Neuer ran out of the 30-meter area, took the free kick, and accurately sent it to the left side of the frontcourt.

Gareth Bale jumped up, got ahead of Evans, and headed the ball to Lewandowski.

The Pole faced the ball passed by Gareth Bale, and on the right side of the small penalty area, he kicked the ball with his right foot, passed Vidic, and shot with his left foot from close range, breaking the Manchester United goal.

1 is better than 0!

Although the temperature was minus 4 degrees Celsius, Wembley Stadium was still filled with 9 fans.

At the moment the goal was scored, the passion erupted from the fans, seemingly melting the snow on the field.

After conceding the goal, Manchester United began to increase their offensive strength, replacing Giggs and Robben one after another to strengthen the attack on both wings.

In the 61st minute, Robben dribbled the ball across the center line, cut inside and dribbled past Marcelo, then passed the ball diagonally behind him with his left foot.

Rooney successfully made an offside move and broke into the penalty area to have a one-on-one chance.

At the critical moment, Neuer left the goal and blocked Rooney's one-on-one shot out of the baseline.

Manchester United then took a corner kick, and Vidic's header was blocked by Pepe.

But Scholes' long shot from outside the penalty area hit Kompany's leg and deflected into his own goal.

Own goals!
1 is better than 1!

draw!

Neither Yang Cheng nor Ferguson had any good solution for this extreme weather.

It is normal for players to make more mistakes.

And in the 74th minute, the Chinese players from Bayswater successfully intercepted the ball near the center line.

When Modric was dribbling forward, Fletcher was afraid that the Chinese in Bayswater would launch a quick counterattack, so he committed a tactical foul on Modric even though he already had a yellow card.

He himself was sent off with a red card, and the Croatian fell to the ground and never got up again.

……

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

A thin layer of snow appeared on the grass, but it quickly melted away under the effect of the floor heating.

But in the area without floor heating, the snow was getting thicker and thicker.

Yang Cheng wore a warm sports cap on his head, a thick down jacket on his body, gloves on his hands, and leather shoes on his feet, but he still couldn't help waving his hands on the sidelines.

Although he had put on thick socks, the cold air still kept rising from the soles of his feet.

Especially when standing still, it’s really unbearable.

So, he could only keep walking around to keep himself moving.

Every step made a crunching sound on the snow.

You can imagine how difficult it is for the players on the field to play football under such circumstances!

It’s difficult for the fans too!
Faced with such severe and extreme weather, London's power supply was tight, and coupled with mechanical failures caused by heavy snow, many subway lines were suspended for maintenance. Many fans even walked a long way to get to Wembley Stadium.

The news said that there has never been such bad weather since the great freeze in the 60s, which caused widespread suspension of sports and work.

The hospital was overcrowded, mostly with patients suffering from fractures and injuries.

The most difficult thing is that the weather forecast shows that the weather will deteriorate further and the blizzard will intensify starting in the evening.

But even so, there were still 9 fans coming to the scene.

They braved the wind and snow and shouted hard in the stands.

Although it was far different from the usual atmosphere, everyone tried their best.

As the team's head coach, all Yang Cheng can do is try his best to help the team win this crucial victory.

It’s best not to have any serious injuries.

"How about it?"

When team doctor David Favre helped Modric off the field on a stretcher, Yang Cheng walked over and asked with concern.

"He kicked my calf. I think he injured the muscle. We need to observe him for a while. Let's change players."

After hearing this, Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Then hurry back to the locker room."

After saying that, he walked up to Modric and asked him a few questions with concern. Only after making sure that the Croatian was fine did he send them back to the locker room.

After seeing the player off, Yang Cheng turned around, took a look at the court, and then looked at the time on the scoreboard.

Including the extra time, there are nearly 20 minutes left.

Fletcher was sent off with a red card!

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng walked to the bench.

"Andy."

Andy Carroll immediately jumped up and ran to Yang Cheng with burning desire in his eyes.

"Need a warm-up?"

"No, it's already heated up."

Yang Cheng nodded, "You go up there and fight for the top spot and get the first landing point."

The fire in Andy Carroll's eyes seemed to be extinguished by the snow on the sidelines.

He is a center forward!

But he still nodded heavily and agreed, "I understand!"

"Remember, whether we can win this game depends on you!" Yang Cheng encouraged.

Andy Carroll nodded, but the excitement on his face was no longer there.

He felt that he should become a scorer who could conquer cities and capture strongholds.

Rather than a tactical player!

But at this moment, he could only obey the head coach's arrangements.

……

After Andy Carroll came on, Bayswater Chinese had two center forwards in front.

Add in a Gareth Bale who had the upper hand against young Rafael, and the Bayswater Chinese had a clear advantage up front.

The weather was so bad that the snow on the field was getting thicker and thicker.

Because the floor heating was on, even the air felt like it was taken out of a washing machine, damp and uncomfortable.

Especially the players on the field, after running, their whole bodies become hot, and their jerseys stick tightly to their bodies, making it difficult for them to move freely.

Therefore, Yang Cheng's strategy was also adjusted accordingly, and he adopted a simpler and more direct tactic.

Long passes and crosses from wide areas.

In other words, it is high-altitude bombing!
Ferguson actually saw Yang Cheng's intention.

But with one man less in the midfield, Manchester United had to defend more strictly.

So, he quickly used his last substitution.

Anderson replaced Scholes.

In this way, Manchester United became a three-midfielder combination of Anderson, Carrick and De Rossi.

When the game resumed, the Chinese in Bayswater didn't care about anything and just played with all their might.

In this kind of horrible weather, what's the point of cooperating when facing an opponent like Manchester United?
Kill the opponent first and win the game later.

And the facts have proved that Yang Cheng's decision was correct.

The snow was getting heavier and the temperature was getting lower and lower. It was difficult for the players to maintain their performance on the court.

Especially physical fitness.

Passing and cutting, which is what the Chinese at Bayswater are best at, is really difficult to accomplish in this temperature.

Every pass that rolls on the grass leaves a very clear mark.

It is conceivable that in this situation, it is basically impossible to complete a quick pass and cut.

Therefore, Yang Cheng's change to high-altitude bombing is actually the most pragmatic tactic.

But this will make the efficiency even lower.

The players were running breathlessly; the fans were shouting breathlessly; Yang Cheng on the sidelines was walking back and forth, also breathlessly.

It's difficult for everyone!

The game time passed slowly.

In the 85th minute, the broadcasting in the stadium began to remind all the fans present: After the game, please leave the stadium as soon as possible and go to the subway station or bus station.

Because the weather is getting worse, no one knows when the scheduled flight will be suddenly cancelled.

The Bayswater Chinese Fan Service Department also took quick action, reminding all fans present, including the Red Devils fans who followed Manchester United south, that they can contact them if they encounter any problems.

Fan Services staff will provide any assistance they can.

The stands also began to stir, and many fans even stood up, preparing to leave early.

1 is better than 1!

In such bad weather, getting a draw is a pretty good result.

It’s just a pity that we failed to avenge our defeat in the first round of the league!
On the court, the players' passing rhythm and running speed are constantly slowing down.

This also seems to indicate that the game is basically over.

But there are still some die-hard fans who stand up from the stands, jumping and cheering loudly, sometimes singing the team's anthem, sometimes shouting the players' names...

Sky Sports was also very moved by this scene.

"This group of fans in the snow and wind is really touching."

“The Bayswater Chinese have really developed a group of very loyal fans over the years.”

"They have witnessed Bayswater Chinese climb from the lower leagues to the top European teams step by step, which has given them an unprecedented sense of identity."

"And there are quite a few fans like this."

"Of course, we should also see that Bayswater Chinese have indeed put a lot of effort and invested a lot of resources in fan management over the past few years."

"That's made them the club with the best reputation and image in London now."

"We could see more and more fans in the stands were jumping."

"This is to cheer for the players on the field, but it is also to keep each other warm."

The restlessness in the stands became more and more obvious.

More and more fans left the stadium.

But in the 88th minute of the game, when the attack in the frontcourt failed and Walcott passed the ball back to Matic and then passed it back to Pepe, the Portuguese central defender got the ball on the right side of the bottom center circle in Manchester United's half.

At this moment, through the live TV camera, you can clearly see snowflakes falling from the sky.

As soon as Pepe stopped the ball, he looked forward and immediately made a long pass.

The ball crossed half of the field and landed just outside Manchester United's penalty area.

Andy Carroll quickly retreated, pulled Evans out, jumped high, and rubbed the falling football with his head.

The ball was touched by Andy Carroll and fell into Manchester United's penalty area.

Lewandowski quickly moved forward, using his first-mover advantage to get one step ahead, chesting the ball and moving it towards the penalty spot.

Vidic stood in front of Lewandowski, cutting off his connection with the goal, and naturally moved with Lewandowski.

Manchester United's right-back Rafael immediately moved inward after Evans made a forward run, cooperating with Vidic in joint defense.

But Lewandowski met the falling ball and passed it sideways.

The football drew a straight mark on the grass and rolled to the left side of the penalty area.

Raphael reacted quickly and turned around to chase after him immediately.

But a figure in a red jersey was faster than him.

Gareth Bale caught up.

Lewandowski's pass was blocked by snow on the turf and slowed down just in front of Gareth Bale.

After the Welshman rushed up, he stood firm on his right foot and kicked out with his left foot, delivering a low blow.

The snow on the grass, which had not yet melted, was splashed into the air by Gareth Bale's shot.

The scattered snowflakes mixed in the slowly falling snow and wind, the scene was so beautiful!
The football flew out at an extremely fast speed and went directly into the right side of Manchester United's goal!
Gareth Bale has great confidence when shooting from this position!
"The ball went in!!!"

The on-site broadcast also shouted out immediately.

Whether it was the fans who were jumping up and down, those who were about to leave, or even many fans who had already left the stands, they all heard the crazy cheers coming from the stadium.

“Bayswater Chinese score again!”

"Goal from Gareth Bale!"

"In the 88th minute, under extremely difficult circumstances, Gareth Bale volleyed the ball from the left side of the penalty area, where he is best at, and penetrated the Manchester United goal!"

"2 to 1!"

"My God, this game is so difficult!"

"We saw that the entire Wembley Stadium grass was covered with snow."

“But Bayswater Chinese withstood the pressure and scored again!”

“It must be said that Yang Cheng’s tactical adjustment in the second half was crucial, and Andy Carroll’s coming on was also very timely.”

"If they continue to use the passing and cutting combination they are good at, it will not work in this kind of weather and on this kind of field."

"What a pity for Manchester United!"

"They were extremely tenacious, but they faced an even more tenacious and more outstanding Bayswater Chinese team!"

“Let’s congratulate the Bayswater Chinese!”

……

Although all Premier League teams were well prepared, they were still affected to some extent.

Among the 21 games in the 10st round, two need to be postponed.

The snowstorm was too severe.

Fortunately, most of the strong teams in the Premier League finish their games before dusk.

But it's a mixed bag.

Bayswater Chinese beat Manchester United 2-1 at home, and Yang Cheng's team won unanimous praise from the media and fans after the game.

Especially Gareth Bale's final shot, which became the cover story that media all over the world rushed to report.

The picture is so beautiful!
Many fans even said that they must make this picture as their screensaver.

Everyone believes that this powerful dialogue demonstrates the tenacity and resilience of the Chinese people in Bayswater.

As The Times said, this has always been Manchester United's forte in the past.

"But Ferguson's team lost these two precious qualities this afternoon at Wembley Stadium!"

More importantly, this battle also created a good situation for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Arsenal drew 2-2 with Everton at home.

Interestingly, Wenger's team didn't equalize the score until the 92nd minute.

The goal scorer was Rosicky who came on as a substitute.

Manchester City beat Blackburn 4-1 at home, with Tevez scoring a hat-trick.

Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at home thanks to Kuyt's double.

But Chelsea drew 1-1 with Hull City away.

The loss of five African Cup internationals, coupled with extremely bad weather, had a huge impact on the Blues.

Hiddink repeatedly said that he was very satisfied with just one point.

As a result, after 21 rounds of games, Bayswater Chinese had 15 points with a record of 2 wins, 1 draws and 47 loss, ranking third in the standings.

Although both Arsenal and Manchester City have scored 50 points, Arsenal still occupies the top spot due to its goal difference advantage.

Manchester United also got 47 points, but lost to Bayswater Chinese on goal difference and dropped to fourth place.

Chelsea has only 42 points and ranks fifth.

After this round, the entire Premier League was in an uproar.

Who said spending money is useless?
In the past, everyone said that Arsenal was obsessed with maintaining their top four position.

But after two consecutive summers, the Gunners are now at the top of the Premier League and are a strong contender for the championship.

What about Manchester City?
It also took two years to transform from a mid-table Premier League team into a powerful team that could win the championship.

Manchester United and Chelsea, which have tightened their monetary policy in the past two or three years, have seen their rankings decline continuously.

Especially Chelsea.

Judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult to break into the top four this season.

Not to mention Liverpool, which is now ranked 8th, a definitely mid-table team.

Among the wealthy teams in the Premier League, the Chinese in Bayswater stand out.

Although the team does not have the big investments of Arsenal and Manchester City and has to sell players every year, its competitiveness is still outstanding.

Yang Cheng's management of this team has caused heated discussions throughout the European football world.

Many media even believe that if Yang Cheng was not the owner of Bayswater Chinese, he might have been poached by other top teams long ago.

……

On the evening of February 1th, Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.

In the first leg of the League Cup semi-final, Bayswater Chinese challenged Chelsea away.

The snowstorm that started on January 1th has finally eased.

The pace of the game and traffic order have gradually returned to normal.

London also began to regain its former bustle and bustle.

But Chelsea's situation has not yet been alleviated.

Five African Cup internationals are still on the pitch, which has a huge impact on Chelsea.

Yang Cheng also seized the Blues' weaknesses and shortcomings. Although they were playing away from home, he took the initiative and launched a massive attack.

In the 23rd minute, Hazard dribbled the ball through on the left side of the frontcourt and made a cross. Aaron Ramsey made a forward run and shot into the goal from close range, opening the scoring for the Chinese in Bayswater!

1 is better than 0!

Chelsea didn't have a good solution for this and remained passive on the field.

After the second half, in the 55th minute, Carroll headed the ball from close range after a cross from former Chelsea left-back Ryan Bertrand, but it hit the right post and he missed a great scoring opportunity.

But this attack made the entire Blues team break out in a cold sweat.

In the 65th minute, Piszczek's cross from the right and Carroll's header finally broke through Chelsea's goal.

2 is better than 0!

This score was maintained until the end.

Bayswater Chinese beat Chelsea 2-0 away!

……

On January 1, in the 16nd round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged the second-to-last team Portsmouth away.

Although the snowstorm has stopped, the severe weather during this period still has an impact on all teams.

Especially for the Chinese in Bayswater who have been fighting on multiple fronts continuously.

Yang Cheng's team won the away game thanks to Lewandowski's two goals in the 16th and 42nd minutes of the first half.

Beat Portsmouth 2-1.

But for a long time in the second half, the team was in a slump, mainly because of physical problems and the players were tired.

But no matter what, Bayswater Chinese still won the valuable 3 points.

Other Premier League teams have basically defeated their opponents, except Liverpool.

The Reds drew 1-1 with Stoke City away.

Chelsea beat Sunderland 3-2 at home.

Manchester United beat Burnley 3-0 at home.

Manchester City beat Everton 1-0 away from home thanks to Kaka's goal.

Arsenal beat Bolton 2-0 away.

After this round of games, the ranking of the strong teams in the entire Premier League remained basically unchanged.

……

January 1, the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final.

Bayswater Chinese host Chelsea at home.

Facing the Blues who were short of players, Hiddink broke his usual habit and took the lead in launching an attack away from home, and created a goal in the 10th minute of the game.

Anelka scores for Chelsea.

But starting from the 30th minute, Bayswater Chinese scored two goals in a row.

Carroll and Jose Fonte each scored a goal to successfully reverse the score.

In the 50th minute of the second half, Carvalho received his second yellow card while defending Carroll and was sent off directly with a red card.

Since then, it has been difficult for Chelsea to launch any threatening attacks.

贝斯沃特中国人主场2比1，客场2比0，总比分4比1击败了切尔西，顺利晋级联赛杯决赛！

In another match, Ancelotti's Manchester City first defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home.

In the second leg, at Old Trafford, the two teams tied 2-2.

In the end, the Blue Moon successfully eliminated its city rivals Manchester United with a total score of 4-3 and entered the League Cup final.

Although the League Cup is a tasteless event, the fact that Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City will both meet in the final undoubtedly makes this match more attractive.

But what made Yang Cheng uncomfortable was that the final was scheduled to be held on February 2.

This will undoubtedly further increase the pressure on the Chinese in Bayswater to compete.

……

January 1rd, a day of shame for Ferguson and Manchester United.

All the top teams in the Premier League are actively preparing for the fourth round of the FA Cup, but only Manchester United is preparing for the 4rd round of the league, playing Hull City at home.

According to media reports, Ferguson has been in a very bad mood these days.

And it happens to be the home court.

Therefore, Ferguson made a harsh statement early on that if Manchester United failed to beat Hull City at home, he would make all the Manchester United players suffer.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Hull City 4-0 at home.

Rooney scored four goals!

At critical moments, Ferguson's favorite players are still reliable.

In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese encountered a tenacious sniper attack from Leeds United in their home game against Leeds United.

This team's style is very tough, especially after defeating Manchester United, their confidence has skyrocketed.

On the other hand, the Bayswater Chinese players' condition was greatly affected by consecutive games, with more injuries, so Yang Cheng made a lot of rotations.

Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante both started the game.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Lewandowski scored a goal with the assist from Walcott on the right.

But in stoppage time, Leeds United equalized the score.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Gareth Bale successfully reversed the score.

In the stoppage time, Gareth Bale scored again, finally locking the score at 3-1!

Bayswater Chinese successfully advanced to the 5th round.

It is worth mentioning that in the last half hour of the game, Yang Cheng replaced Lewandowski with Harry Kane.

Judging from their performance in the game, Paul Pogba and Harry Kane are still too young and immature.

N'Golo Kante is still very capable of running and performed well in defense, but overall he can only be considered average.

This has something to do with the fact that he rarely plays with the first team.

But what’s funny is that in the fourth round of the FA Cup, both Arsenal and Liverpool were defeated.

Chelsea and Manchester City advanced smoothly.

This is actually somewhat related to the previous few days of heavy snow.

The team's training, the rhythm of the game, and the players' condition were all disrupted.

The events have become more frequent and the competition pressure has become greater.

In addition, the bad weather has led to an increase in injuries, and there are many injured players in each team, including the Bayswater Chinese.

This led to a series of disadvantages for the team.

Liverpool lost to Reading in the Championship as everyone expected.

Arsenal lost away to Stoke City in the Premier League.

If you think about it this way, it’s actually not unfair.

……

On the evening of February 1th, Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.

When the referee Steve Bennett blew the whistle to end the game, Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly.

The scoreboard at Stamford Bridge showed the final result of the game.

1 is better than 0!

Chelsea scored a goal just four minutes into the game and tenaciously defeated Bayswater Chinese at home.

That was a corner kick.

Terry headed the ball into the goal after Sneijder took a corner kick.

But after this goal, the Bayswater Chinese launched a crazy attack but still failed to break Chelsea's goal.

Yang Cheng can be sure that Cech will win the man of the match award and will also be the best player of this round.

Because in this game, he blocked at least five sure-goal opportunities for Bayswater Chinese.

However, this game also exposed some problems of the Chinese in Bayswater.

For example, Modric's absence!

"Aaron Ramsey is too young and Rakitic is not very good either. Once Modric is injured, our midfield becomes a bit awkward!" Brian Kidd was a little distressed.

Whether you can play well here actually depends on your opponent.

Chelsea deployed a three-midfielder formation in this game, which was very defensive, and it was clear that they wanted to launch a defensive counterattack after scoring a goal in the opening minutes.

Apart from the goal conceded at the beginning, Hiddink's team did not have any other absolute scoring opportunities.

Instead, it was the Chinese players from Bayswater who continuously created shooting opportunities.

In this game, Lewandowski was actually in very good shape.

But under the restrictions of Terry and Alex, and with the heroic performance of Cech, Lewandowski failed to seize the opportunity.

Yang Cheng later made a series of substitutions and adjustments in an attempt to strengthen the team's offense, but it also did not work.

Hiddink's defense is really tight!
Interestingly, in this round, except for Manchester United and Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City all drew.

Liverpool drew 0-0 with Wolves away from home.

Arsenal drew 0-0 with Aston Villa away from home.

Manchester City drew 1-1 with Stoke City away.

This also shows that the conditions of all the strong teams are not very ideal during this period.

The players were generally very tired.

……

During this period of time, Yang Cheng had so many things to do that he was extremely busy.

There is bad weather, competition, injuries, and a busy schedule...

All the things came one after another and piled up in front of him, making him overwhelmed.

This made him somewhat forget when Andy Carroll's mood began to change.

The most obvious thing is that every time he is arranged to play, whether as a starter or as a substitute, he seems to lack the passion and edge he once had.

It becomes a bit mechanical, even perfunctory.

In training, he was not active enough, had a negative attitude, and had some problems with his teammates.

On the training ground, Yang Cheng and the coaching staff can tell whether a player has tried his best.

Yang Cheng talked to him briefly and he promised to make adjustments, but to no avail.

This made Yang Cheng feel that he seemed to be beginning to reject working for the Chinese in Bayswater.

In other words, the enthusiasm is not high.

He was just like an employee who had contacted his next employer and was preparing to change jobs, just muddling through.

At the beginning, Yang Cheng was not quite sure what was going on.

But on January 1, after eliminating Chelsea in the League Cup, Yang Cheng understood why Andy Carroll had suddenly changed so much in just half a month.

Chelsea have made a formal offer for Andy Carroll.

£1500!
This is the Blues' first offer!
Andy Carroll's agent Mark Curtis also revealed in a media interview that his players were tired of waiting for playing opportunities in Bayswater Chinese.

"He hopes to be able to go to a platform where he can better demonstrate his own characteristics and advantages."

Yang Cheng rejected Chelsea's offer without hesitation.

He immediately found Andy Carroll and personally promised to give him more playing time.

At the same time, Yang Cheng also warned Andy Carroll that it would not be possible for him to go to Chelsea in his current condition.

Even someone as strong as Drogba couldn't hold on, so how could the young Andy Carroll be able to stand firm if he went there?
But Andy Carroll seemed to no longer trust Yang Cheng.

He even told Yang Cheng directly that he believed he had the ability to gain a foothold in Chelsea!

Moreover, Chelsea is also willing to help him and make sure he becomes the main center forward after Drogba!

Yang Cheng retorted that such a promise was of no use at all.

When he performs poorly, Chelsea will still take him without hesitation.

But once trust is lost, no matter how much you say, it will be useless.

Andy Carroll trusts his agent more!
Adam Crozier contacted Mark Curtis and brought a message to Yang Cheng.

Mark Curtis reveals that Andy Carroll has decided to leave!

Yang Cheng, Adam Crozier and others all knew that it was Mark Curtis who was behind this.

But it's no use.

The player has only been at Bayswater Chinese for half a year, but he has worked with Mark Curtis for several years.

Moreover, he emerged from Newcastle's youth training camp through Mark Curtis's relationship.

When it comes to deep feelings, the Chinese in Bayswater can't even compare to Mark Curtis.

But Yang Cheng still had no intention of selling anyone.

Therefore, in the two games on the 23rd and 27th, Yang Cheng did not include Andy Carroll in the roster.

This actually resulted in the failure to score against Cech at Stamford Bridge on the 27th.

What Yang Cheng and the technical team meant was to keep wasting time on the players until the winter transfer window was over, and then Andy Carroll would give up.

Therefore, even though Chelsea has repeatedly raised its offer to 2000 million pounds during this period, the Chinese in Bayswater still refused to sell.

But on the morning of the 28th, when Yang Cheng came to the Brent Training Center from home, he received a call from Mark Curtis.

He asked for leave for Andy Carroll, saying that he was unable to attend the morning training session due to something else.

"What's the matter?" Yang Cheng asked on the phone.

But Mark Curtis didn't say.

Yang Cheng found out after the morning training session.

Accompanied by his agent Mark Curtis, Andy Carroll went to the club's rented office building in West London and formally submitted a written transfer application.

At the same time, Chelsea once again increased its transfer offer.

£2500!
But the Chinese in Bayswater still rejected Chelsea's offer.

That afternoon, Andy Carroll missed the team's training again.

This actually shows his attitude.

……

"From the various intelligence we have received so far and based on Mark Curtis's reply, we can basically conclude that Andy Carroll has to go to Chelsea!"

In a conference room at the Brent Training Center, Chief Talent Officer Mike Rigg said helplessly.

"I heard from some private channels that Chelsea offered them a weekly salary of up to 9 pounds!"

There was an uproar in the conference room.

£9?
This is simply outrageous!
The maximum salary previously agreed upon by the Chinese at Bayswater was only 12 pounds.

There is no way Andy Carroll could be offered such a high weekly salary.

Even half of it is a bit too much.

"In addition, I also heard a piece of news that Chelsea has been in contact with Mark Curtis. It is said that the transfer commission they offer is very generous, maybe even two or three million pounds."

Mike Rigg's words once again caused an uproar in the conference room.

If that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising.

If he really had to offer a commission of two or three million pounds, Mark Curtis would definitely be willing to fight to the death with the Chinese in Bayswater.

Big brokers earn more, and they won't sacrifice their long-term interests for a little money.

Who is Mark Curtis?

Sam Allardyce's agent can even be said to be a white glove agent.

Yang Cheng believes that fans in 2024 will certainly not forget the scandal in which Allardyce was set up by media reporters when he was the head coach of the England national team.

At that time, Allardyce's annual salary as coach of the England national team was 300 million pounds, but he took the risk for 40 pounds.

The person who contacted and made the offer for Big Sam was agent Mark Curtis.

As early as when Yang Cheng signed Andy Carroll, many people had reminded him to be careful of this agent.

But he never expected that Mark Curtis would be so impatient.

It's only been half a year!

What's even worse is that the Chinese at Bayswater have a busy schedule right now, and if Andy Carroll defected at this time, it would definitely be a stab in the back for the Chinese at Bayswater!

"What should we do now?" Brian Kidd asked Yang Cheng angrily.

He was also very dissatisfied and even heartbroken with the actions of Andy Carroll and his agent.

Because he really had high hopes for Andy Carroll.

But who could have thought that he would do such a thing.

Brian Kidd has led the team for so many years, but anyone who makes a fuss like Andy Carroll is really pushing himself into a desperate situation.

Of course, they don’t care. Chelsea offers a weekly salary of 9 pounds anyway. What is there to be afraid of?

"Dan, what do your technical team think?" Yang Cheng looked at the football director Dan Ashworth.

"We all feel that we have been too friendly in the past few years when it comes to player transfers, so much so that even a small character like Mark Curtis dares to offend us. We must make an example of him!"

"Of course, despite the warning, our club cannot suffer any losses."

After that, Dan Ashworth told Yang Cheng about his and his technical team’s suggestions.

Yang Cheng nodded silently, this coincided with his idea.

Over the years, everyone felt that the Chinese in Bayswater were too good-tempered and not as strong as the top teams.

This is not okay.

Even a clown like Mark Curtis is taking advantage of him, and Yang Cheng doesn't want to indulge him any more.

If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid this kind of thing will happen more and more in the future.

"In terms of signings, what is Ajax's offer for Luis Suarez?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

"Chelsea asked for the price and they said 3000 million euros."

This was beyond the Chinese acceptance in Bayswater.

If you want to sign famous players like Suarez and Aguero during the winter transfer window, you will definitely be ripped off.

Especially now.

If Carroll is really poached by Chelsea, everyone knows that the Chinese in Bayswater must recruit players. If not now, when?

Besides, the Chinese players from Bayswater were poached by Chelsea because you are incompetent!

Yang Cheng felt helpless.

He also really likes Luis Suarez, but unfortunately, the Uruguayan is too expensive.

It’s not that Suarez can’t afford it, but other players are more cost-effective!
"Are there any other candidates?" Yang Cheng asked again.

"There is another one, Luca Toni from Bayern. He has a bad relationship with Van Gaal now. It is said that Bayern wants to loan him out and is talking to Roma. However, there is a problem with this player. He cannot play in the Champions League."

Luca Toni has played in the Champions League for Bayern.

"In addition, we have another candidate, the center forward of Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, Mario Mandzukic."

"This 23-year-old young center forward is worth about 700 million euros, but he can't play in the Champions League for the team."

Dinamo Zagreb is also a regular participant in European competitions.

As long as Mandzukic plays in European competitions in the first half, he will not be able to play in the second half.

When Yang Cheng heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.

Among the candidates, at least Luca Toni and Mandzukic are very good choices.

This proves that the team's technical team is still playing a role.

But Suarez, Luca Toni and Mandzukic are not the most ideal cost-effective candidates in Yang Cheng's mind.

"Last time, French scouts submitted information about a 23-year-old French center forward named Oliver Giroud. Do you remember?"

Dan Ashworth frowned at first, but then he remembered.

"Remember, the center forward of Tours in the French Ligue 22, I watched him a few days ago. He scored 15 goals and assisted five times in 5 rounds of the French Ligue . His performance was outstanding."

"However, the intensity of the French Ligue 2 games is relatively low, and we are a little worried whether this player can adapt to the Premier League."

It is really cheap, probably only around one or two million pounds.

But the strength of the players is indeed worrying.

For the current Chinese in Bayswater, especially in the current situation, they must be careful when recruiting players.

Stability is the most important thing!
"I've watched his games. I think there's nothing wrong with his overall performance, especially his tactical role as a center forward. He's also good at physical confrontation and heading."

"The intensity of the French Ligue 2 is not high, but the physical confrontation is not weak at all. There are many black players there."

Players who have been tempered in this kind of league environment cannot be weak in physical confrontation.

What's more, Yang Cheng knew very well that after winning the top scorer and best player of the French Ligue 2010, Giroud transferred to Montpellier of Ligue in , and then became the top scorer of Ligue before transferring to Arsenal.

One of the important reasons why Yang Cheng chose Giroud is that he was fed up with all those messy things.

Giroud has a good personality and is diligent and low-key. Even if he is on the bench, he will work hard and never complain.

What's more, what the Chinese in Bayswater need now is exactly Giroud's tactical role.

Based on Yang Cheng’s understanding of Giroud in his previous life, this player is very smart and is the kind of player who uses his brain to play football.

Now at the age of 23, the overall strength of this type of player has long been mature.

The main reason why he failed to play well was that he did not encounter a suitable tactical environment.

"Dan, go to Tours, France, and sign him!" Yang Cheng said decisively.

Among the Chinese people in Bayswater, there is still great trust in Yang Cheng's vision in selecting people.

There is even a tendency towards unconditional worship.

There is no way. Over the past few years, Yang Cheng has basically made no mistakes in the players he selected.

"After we sign Giroud, we'll have some fun with them!"

A hint of viciousness flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes.

If the tiger doesn’t show its power, do you really think I’m Hello Kitty?
