I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 197 He actually scored a goal? Godfather Pu and I are innocent! [Subscribe]

There is a saying that goes: When it rains, it leaks; when the ship is late, it encounters headwinds.

For the British media and fans, a League Cup title won by the Chinese in Bayswater can only allow them to hype it up for a day or two at most.

Even if we take into account the outstanding performances of stars such as Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Walcott.

But the off-court gossip of the stars is undoubtedly the focus of news that they are most passionate about and pay the most attention to.

Recently, the paparazzi on Fleet Street have been paying the most attention to Chelsea.

The friend's wife scandal has ruined the reputation of Chelsea captain John Terry.

Especially in the game between Chelsea and Manchester City at home, when Terry took the initiative to extend his hand, Manchester City's left-back Bridge actually ignored him. This scene was exposed in the live broadcast camera around the world.

Manchester City also helped Bridge vent his anger with a 4-2 victory.

It's really a slap in the face!
Not only did Sky Sports take the initiative to explain Bridge's actions during the commentary.

After the game, England legends such as Alan Shearer expressed their support for Bridge in the media.

Because the England left-back announced his retirement from the national team.

He didn't want to be in the same locker room with Terry again.

The Daily Mail revealed that everyone at Manchester City supports Bridge.

"Never touch your teammate's wife, that's the rule in football!"

Even many Chelsea players sent text messages to support Bridge.

It can be said that Terry's image has completely collapsed.

Of course, this kind of thing has happened in the world of fame and fortune, professional football.

For example, former Bayern captain, Tiger Effenberg, also had a scandal involving his friend's wife.

What's even more explosive than Tri is that Effenberg also said that he and his partner were truly in love, and even posted a lot of intimate bed photos.

However, after Effenberg married the other party, he cheated again within two or three years.

For professional players, it all comes down to their performance on the court.

As time went by, people gradually forgot about them and instead remembered their brilliant performances on the court.

Just like now, how many people miss Effenberg?
But Chelsea was still the unlucky one.

While the friend's wife scandal was heating up, Ashley Cole was revealed to be divorced.

Ashley Cole and his wife Cheryl are considered the golden couple in the UK.

A world-class football star and an actress from the entertainment industry, a powerful combination with maximum traffic.

But now, Cheryl insists on divorce.

A reporter from the Daily Mirror revealed that Ashley Cole is now very depressed and in very bad shape, and he even has the urge to retire early.

What is even more difficult for Chelsea fans to accept is that on the last day of the winter transfer window, Andy Carroll, the England international who joined the team for a whopping £4000 million, was unable to play in England's friendly match against Egypt at home on March 3.

Due to the compressed league schedule, the national team training camp was cancelled in February.

March 3rd is the national team’s last opportunity to observe the players before the World Cup in South Africa.

As early as last December, England national team coach Capello publicly expressed his interest in Andy Carroll in an interview with media reporters.

Capello believes that England needs a center forward like Andy Carroll who is young, impactful and has excellent aerial ability.

But who could have imagined that at the end of February, when Capello announced the national team training list, Andy Carroll's name was not on it at all.

Even when Bridge announced his retirement from the national team, Capello did not call up Carroll.

This made many Chelsea fans extremely angry!
The person signed was clearly a future England international center forward, so why isn’t he one now?
In addition to directing their anger at Capello, Blues fans are also blaming Andy Carroll.

The young center forward has not scored a single goal or made a single assist since joining the team.

Compared to Drogba, he performed even worse.

England's legendary center forward Alan Shearer revealed on a Sky Sports TV program that it was this transfer that caused Andy Carroll's current predicament.

"At Bayswater Chinese, there are excellent wingers like Gareth Bale, Walcott and Di Maria on both sides to pass the ball and assist him, and cooperate with him in attacking and running."

"The midfield is full of passers like Rakitic, Modric and Aaron Ramsey."

“Perhaps many people have not noticed that Bayswater Chinese’s midfield and frontcourt create the most scoring opportunities in the Premier League and even in the entire European football world!”

"In this situation, the opportunities and offensive resources that Andy Carroll can get are unimaginable!"

"If he had six good attacking chances per game at Bayswater, at Chelsea he would only have two, or even one."

"Because Chelsea's tactics are different from those of the Bayswater Chinese."

"At the Blues, Andy Carroll first needs to rely on his personal ability to create offensive opportunities himself."

"Even to help teammates create opportunities."

"This is very unfriendly to young players."

"Andy Carroll couldn't do that!"

Alan Shearer said he had heard some inside information about the transfer.

"I believe Capello must have heard this, and it makes people worry about Andy Carroll's future status and the long-term development of his career."

"So it's understandable that Capello didn't call up Andy Carroll in the end."

Finally, Alan Shearer also encouraged Andy Carroll, saying that since he had already transferred, he should not think too much about it.

The most important thing at the moment is to train hard and improve your strength as quickly as possible.

From Terry's friend's wife scandal, to Ashley Cole's divorce, to Andy Carroll missing out on the England national team...

Three major events in a row caught Chelsea off guard.

Everyone was also very curious. Why did it seem like all the bad things happened to Chelsea all of a sudden?

Are the Blues really going to collapse?

……

"What I want to say is that, after my long-term observation, the entire European football world and all teams have long neglected or even ignored the psychological education of their players."

"I believe that everyone here must be aware that professional players are also human beings. They also have various problems that ordinary people encounter, from daily life, family, parents and relatives, etc."

"They will encounter the same things that we ordinary people encounter."

"The only difference is that they are more famous and richer than us, that's all."

At the Brent Training Center, taking advantage of the national team's training time, chief psychologist Tim Harkness used Chelsea's affairs as an example when giving lectures to all the first-team and youth team coaches, including Yang Cheng.

"So, the impact of the environment on a person is very important."

"I'm sure everyone is familiar with the Christmas carnival initiated by Ferdinand at Manchester United. How big a commotion did it cause?"

"Many young players like Evans have been following Ferdinand and others since they were young. How much influence do they have?"

"If you are interested, you can collect information about how many things have happened to young players in the first team and youth team of Manchester United over the years? And how many have been covered up and we don't know about them?"

"Ferguson is still here, his authority is still here, and the constraints and rules are still in effect, but what if Ferguson retires in the future?"

"It's the same situation at Chelsea."

Tim Harkness started with the current social environment in the UK and pointed out the various problems that English local players will encounter along the way from the youth team to the adult team.

He cited the eight-stage theory of Eric Erikson, a famous American child psychologist.

Analyze the entire process from a child's birth to adulthood to death from a psychological perspective.

From the perspective of a football club, Tim Harkness believes that it is very necessary to add family background checks to Bayswater Chinese's scouting system.

But this is also something that is difficult for the Chinese in Bayswater to change.

To put it bluntly, behind the family background is actually the social environment.

Given the current social environment in the UK, it would be strange if it could get better!
Also, like Paul Pogba, can the Chinese in Bayswater control his family and brothers?

Do not make jokes.

Bayswater Chinese is a football club, not a charity.

Tim Harkness suggests that the period from 6 to 12 years old is an important period for cultivating a player's sense of diligence.

Good psychological education can help players successfully complete various learning tasks, be full of confidence and motivation for the future, stimulate their competitiveness, and thus fight against inferiority.

Adolescence, from ages 12 to 20, is a critical time for children to explore their own identity, values ​​and future goals.

They will gradually distance themselves from their parents and relatives, break free from dependent relationships, and establish close friendships with their peers.

At this stage, the surrounding environment becomes particularly important.

Tim Harkness believes that after his extensive research, Bayswater Chinese is one of the first football clubs in European football to start psychological counseling and psychological education.

"Even now, many football clubs still regard it as a scourge."

"But what I want to say is that we should further increase our investment in psychological education. We should intervene in the psychological education and guidance of players from a young age to help them establish correct values."

Tim Harkness said he hopes to build a sophisticated psychological assessment system at Bayswater Chinese.

He will assess the psychology of every player on the team and provide targeted coaching.

He firmly believes that this can help Bayswater Chinese, from the U6 youth team to the adult first team, to create a set of positive and energetic values ​​and club culture that is unique to Bayswater Chinese.

"The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes every day. Information is too advanced and young people are exposed to too much and too diverse information, which makes it easy for them to become overwhelmed."

"It may even make them feel lonelier and more empty."

“This is the value of psychology!”

Yang Cheng never overestimates the quality of young players in Britain, especially England.

This is a country known for its alcoholic culture.

It’s only been a few years since Arsenal’s Wenger transformed the eating habits of England’s professional players?
Ferdinand, Lampard, Terry and a group of others are all players trained in the old era, and they are still the same in their bones.

This situation is particularly evident in teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool, which are based on local players.

Especially Manchester United.

Head coach Ferguson is the representative of local football culture.

Yang Cheng had to be very cautious when hiring a psychology expert before.

But now, the Chinese in Bayswater have enough confidence to set this precedent.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng clapped his hands vigorously.

In the huge conference room, everyone gave Tim Harkness a warm round of applause.

It’s time to expand the group of psychology experts!

Yang Cheng’s first reaction was to think of Xia Qing.

She probably has another headache.

Whenever Yang Cheng thought of Xia Qing's helpless and angry look when she "scolded" him for spending money indiscriminately, he couldn't help but laugh.

……

After the national team match ended without any major incident, the Premier League ushered in the 29th round.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Blackburn Rovers away.

Since the first match between the two sides was in the 17th round of the Premier League and no make-up match has been played yet, this is the first league match between the two teams this season.

But since Carroll's previous transfer involved Sam Allardyce's agent Mark Curtis, this game has some special meaning.

Allardyce even made a harsh statement early on that he would snipe the Chinese team from Bayswater at home.

This is not groundless.

Blackburn is still following the path taken by many famous local coaches in the Premier League.

This team brings together many players like Salgado, Santa Cruz, Chimbonda, McCarthy, etc., who once played for top teams but were eliminated for various reasons.

On paper, the strength does not seem bad.

But Bolton, who used this trick back then, is now ranked 16th in the Premier League and is still struggling to avoid relegation.

Allardyce's Blackburn Rovers are not much better, ranking 12th.

But Blackburn does have an advantage in terms of schedule.

They have few international players, so they can conserve their energy and prepare for the league match this weekend.

Bayswater has many Chinese international players and they have to be distracted by the Champions League midweek home game against Lyon.

In this case, the sniping that Allardyce mentioned is not completely impossible.

Especially at Ewood Park.

Yang Cheng's strategy remains the same as before.

Rotate and take the initiative!
After keeping stars including Modric, Gareth Bale and Di Maria on the bench, the Chinese team in Bayswater did not have a smooth start.

Blackburn held on for more than 30 minutes and did not give the visiting team any good shooting opportunities.

It was not until the 38th minute that Aaron Ramsey pressed midfielder Grella in the frontcourt.

The Welsh player successfully intercepted the ball with a very calm and timely tackle, and then, while being entangled in the opponent's defense, he fell to the ground and made a shovel pass.

The ball fell accurately between Blackburn's two central defenders, Givet and Nelson.

Lewandowski originally had his back to the direction of attack, but facing the incoming ball, he easily took the ball sideways, turned around and broke into the penalty area, and scored a goal with a single shot, opening the scoring for the Chinese in Bayswater.

1 is better than 0!

In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Walcott faced former Bayswater Chinese right-back Chimbonda on the right.

After joining Arsenal, the Frenchman's performance was good at first, but then gradually declined.

After coming to Blackburn, he now plays on the left wing.

After a series of feints on the right, Walcott suddenly started, used his speed to force Chimbonda away, went to the bottom line, and sent a cross with his right foot near the corner area.

Lewandowski, who received the ball in the middle, overpowered Nelson and scored with a header, scoring his second goal!

2 is better than 0!

Entering the halftime break with a two-goal lead, Yang Cheng praised the players.

After slowing down the pace in the second half, Yang Cheng replaced Lewandowski with Giroud in the 58th minute.

The Poles are getting better and better in the period after Christmas.

So far this season, he has scored 19 goals in the Premier League and is the top scorer for the Bayswater Chinese team.

After Carroll left the team, Giroud has not yet fully integrated into the team. Lewandowski is the sharpest knife in Yang Cheng's hand, so his playing time needs to be arranged reasonably.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Blackburn 2-0 away from home with Lewandowski's two goals.

The other matches in the same round also had their winners and losers decided one after another.

Arsenal beat Burnley 3-1 at home.

Manchester United beat Wolves 1-0 away from home thanks to a goal from Scholes.

Liverpool lost 0-1 to Wigan Athletic away from home.

Chelsea beat second-to-last team Portsmouth 3-0 away from home.

Manchester City suffered an upset in this round, losing 0-1 to Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Crouch scored the crucial goal in the 82nd minute.

After this round of games, Arsenal continued to lead the Premier League standings with 70 points.

Thanks to the strong squad, Wenger's team has been very stable this season.

Both Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City scored 67 points, but thanks to the goal difference, Yang Cheng's team reversed Manchester City and climbed to second place in the standings.

Manchester United is in fourth place with 63 points.

Chelsea is in 57th place with 5 points.

Liverpool is still ranked 8th with only 48 points.

……

May 3, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match, Bayswater Chinese will face Lyon at home.

When the game reached the 25th minute, Gareth Bale and Marcelo tried an offensive combination on the left.

Lyon right-back Reveille cleared the ball out of the sideline.

Throw-in!
The entire Wembley Stadium was filled with the cheers of 9 fans.

The players of Lyon team were retreating together.

Although the game had only been played for 35 minutes, many of them were already under great pressure and out of breath.

Since the opening, the pressure exerted by the Chinese in Bayswater on Lyon has never relaxed.

This Premier League team threatened Coupet's goal several times, making the French nervous time and time again.

In the first 25 minutes, the team missed at least three very good scoring opportunities.

Either the players didn't seize the opportunity, or Coupe played well.

This made everyone in Lyon extremely nervous.

I’m afraid that if I’m not careful, the Chinese in Bayswater will steal my house.

Captain Chris failed to keep Lewandowski at bay in the first leg and was more cautious this time.

When Marcelo ran to the sidelines and prepared to kick the ball out of bounds, Chris called out to his teammates loudly.

Lyon's defense returned to the front of the penalty area.

The midfield also returned.

Marcelo ran to the sidelines and kicked the ball thrown by the caddy.

He grasped the ball in his hands, spun it around, and saw Gareth Bale running back from the front.

Marcelo threw the ball over with both hands without thinking.

It was very light and landed right at Gareth Bale's feet.

The Welshman received the ball right in the gap between Lyon's midfield and defence.

After a pause, he passed the ball horizontally to Rakitic on the left rib.

After passing the ball, Gareth Bale suddenly started.

The Welshman is tall and has started to gain muscle in the past year or two, especially in the last year. As his performances have become better and better, he has also become more and more confident in his play.

Now, when he rushes forward, he really has an unstoppable momentum!

Rakitic understood what he meant and without stopping the ball, he pushed it straight to the left side of the penalty area.

The next second, everyone saw Gareth Bale running diagonally from the left corner of the penalty area to the left side of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed.

Reveille followed Gareth Bale all the way, but the Welshman suppressed Reveille with his left shoulder, rushed into the left side of the penalty area, and led the ball with his right foot.

Seeing that Revie was suppressed by Gareth Bale, Chris was forced to abandon Lewandowski and quickly retreat to the front of the small penalty area to cooperate with Revie to clamp down on Gareth Bale.

At the very least, don't give him the chance to shoot.

The Welshman took the ball with his right foot and just as he was about to adjust and shoot, Chris returned to defense in a very timely manner.

This forced Gareth Bale to change his mind. He suddenly stopped, turned around, blocked Revie with his back, and then dribbled the ball with his left foot, just avoiding Chris.

But in this way, Gareth Bale would already be facing the direction of attack.

The Welshman passed the ball back.

The ball was passed back to the left side of the penalty spot.

Lewandowski has been waiting here.

The Pole also stretched out his hand and fended off Boumsong.

As soon as the ball arrived, Lewandowski stopped the ball and turned around quickly.

He didn't even need to look at where the goal was. He just turned around and shot with his right foot.

From Gareth Bale receiving Marcelo's hand-thrown ball, to Rakitic's one-two pass, to the return pass, and Lewandowski's stop and turn shot...

The whole process takes place in just 8 seconds.

Not to mention the Lyon players who were on passive defense, even the fans in the stands were dazzled by the sight.

Before many people even figured out what was going on, Lewandowski had already stopped the ball, turned around and shot.

The next moment, the football was seen flying into the lower right corner of Lyon's goal at an extremely fast speed.

fast!
too fast!
And the cooperation is very skillful!

This made the Lyon players feel powerless and also shocked the fans in the stands!
People are special like this.

If they can’t see it at all, they’re confused.

It was precisely this kind of seeing, but not seeing it clearly, that made them even more shocked!
……

After leading 1-0 at home and 2-0 on aggregate, Lyon began to get restless.

Puel also knew that they had to score as soon as possible.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Lyon took the lead in launching a counterattack. But in the 53rd minute, after the Bayswater Chinese intercepted the ball in their own half, Matic sent a long pass.

Gareth Bale quickly moved forward on the left, before Reveille, and suddenly stopped outside Lyon's penalty area. While dribbling inside, he suddenly sent a straight pass with his right foot.

The ball passed past Revie into the penalty area.

Lewandowski quickly cut in from outside the arc and caught up with Gareth Bale's pass before Chris. He shot directly with his left foot without stopping the ball.

The ball once again penetrated the goal guarded by Coupe.

2 is better than 0!

The entire Wembley Stadium erupted in crazy cheers!
Scored twice!

After scoring a lot of goals in the league, Lewandowski also showed extremely strong scoring efficiency in the Champions League knockout stage!
Gareth Bale also contributed two wonderful assists.

As if to prevent Gareth Bale from having only the left wing to his advantage, Di Maria on the right also quickly launched an attack on the right wing.

After the Bayswater Chinese intercepted the ball in the midfield, Modric quickly passed it to the retreating Di Maria.

Di Maria had his back to Ali Sissoko and passed the ball to the right.

At this time, Piszczek quickly moved forward along the right sideline, dribbling the ball and continuing to rush forward.

Lewandowski in front is also actively moving.

The connection between the two Polish internationals has appeared many times this season.

This aroused the vigilance of Lyon's defenders.

When Piszczek dribbled forward, Ali Sissoko immediately abandoned Di Maria and rushed towards Piszczek.

Outside Lyon's penalty area, Piszczek stopped close to the right sideline and made a cross pass.

Di Maria moved forward at the fastest speed and received Piszczek's cross pass just at the edge of the right corner of the penalty area. He dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area like a sharp knife through the defensive connection between Lyon's midfielder and defender.

The Argentine is very fast and his forward runs are very timely.

When Boumsong pulled out and tried to intercept, Di Maria made another interception near the baseline.

The ball was picked up by Di Maria's foot and fell to the outside of the small penalty area.

Originally, Lewandowski, Chris and others were rushing into the small penalty area.

Gareth Bale is at the back post and Lewandowski is at the front post.

But when Di Maria's cross-legged pass came over, Lewandowski was the first to react.

The ball went a little wide.

So, he decisively retreated a little, adjusted his position, leaned forward and headed the ball from Di Maria to the right side of the goal.

Goalkeeper Coupe was standing on the right side and made a timely save, but the ball still passed through his hands and went into the goal behind him.

3 is better than 0!

At this time, the game had only been going on for 60 minutes!

The total score is 4 to 0!

Lyon is already doomed!
……

When Bayswater Chinese beat Lyon 3-0 at home and 4-0 on aggregate, fans all over the world once again felt the shock of the Premier League.

Who would have thought that a team that sold four core players in the summer could still have such amazing fighting power.

而在另外两场对决，阿森纳主场5比0狂胜波尔图，再加上首回合客场的2比1，总比分7比1将葡超球队斩落马下。

Anyone can see that the Gunners are really strong this season.

Wenger even said that Arsenal's overall strength this season is better than the undefeated championship season of 03/04.

Manchester United lost 2-3 to AC Milan in the first leg away from home, but returned home and beat AC Milan 4-0.

As a result, in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout matches, Premier League teams won consecutively with large margins against their opponents.

Bayswater Chinese, Arsenal and Manchester United all showed great momentum.

However, unfortunately, Liverpool was eliminated in the group stage and failed to break through, so among the top eight teams in this year's Champions League, the Premier League only occupies three seats.

What's embarrassing is that Real Madrid, which spent a lot of money on signings, finished second in the group stage. In the round of 16, they faced another Serie A giant, Inter Milan coached by Mourinho.

The Nerazzurri defeated Real Madrid thanks to their tenacious defensive counterattack.

The Galacticos were eliminated in the round of 16 again.

In the subsequent Champions League quarter-final draw, the top three Premier League teams finally won't have to meet each other again.

Yang Cheng also had extremely good luck in the draw, as he drew the team he wanted most, Bordeaux, the weakest team among the top eight in Ligue 8.

Arsenal faced Barcelona, ​​Manchester United faced Bayern, and Inter Milan faced CSKA Moscow.

In the eyes of many people, this draw for Bayswater Chinese is almost a guaranteed admission.

Yang Cheng also couldn't stop smiling.

But on second thought, I became a little worried.

Will the domestic fans scold the Chinese in Bayswater for relying on Putin as their godfather?

I swear to God, Godfather Pu and I are innocent!

……

After playing the Champions League, the FA Cup quarter-finals will be held at the weekend.

Chelsea beat Portsmouth 2-0 at home.

Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home.

Bayswater Chinese drew 0-0 with Fulham away from home.

This game really made Yang Cheng depressed.

Despite the major rotations, Yang Cheng was also determined to win.

Because there are so many games and two rounds of make-up matches to be played, there is no time to play another FA Cup make-up match.

But things don’t always go as we wish!
He hit the post twice and had one of Walcott's goals ruled out for offside.

In the end, the two sides ended up drawing 0-0.

A week later, another make-up match was played, with Bayswater Chinese playing at home.

While Bayswater Chinese were playing in the FA Cup, other teams were playing in the 30th round of the Premier League.

In the middle of the week, Bayswater Chinese Talents faced the 30th round make-up match.

In the home game against Everton, the team conceded two goals in just three minutes in the 19th and 22nd minutes of the first half.

This completely confused Yang Cheng!
In the 26th minute, Lewandowski received an assist from Gareth Bale and scored against Everton to equalize the game.

It was not until the 52nd minute of the second half that Di Maria received an assist from Lewandowski and successfully equalized the score.

Afterwards, no matter how hard the Chinese from Bayswater attacked, they always missed the goal.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese drew 2-2 with Everton at home.

In this round, Chelsea beat West Ham United 2-1 at home.

Arsenal beat Hull City 2-1 away from home thanks to goals from Arshavin and Benzema.

Manchester United even beat Fulham 3-0 at home thanks to Rooney's double goal.

Liverpool beat Portsmouth 4-1 at home thanks to Torres' double goal.

Manchester City drew 1-1 with Sunderland away from home.

The Blue Moon lost the ball in the first 9 minutes of the game, and it was not until the 91st minute that Adam Johnson, who came on as a substitute, equalized the score.

After this round of games, Arsenal continued to lead the standings with 73 points.

Bayswater Chinese had 21 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, and scored 68 points, ranking second.

Manchester City also has 68 points and continues to rank third.

Manchester United got 66 points and successfully caught up.

……

After the 30th round of the Premier League, Yang Cheng felt the pressure on the team.

Judging from the team's current situation, the players are generally in a tired physical condition, but it is still controllable.

The real problem lies at a psychological level.

From mid-August last year, when the league started, to now, it has either been national team matches or two matches a week.

Especially from Christmas to now, the games have been continuous, leaving no time for the team to breathe.

Many people may wonder, didn’t the game be suspended due to a snowstorm before?

However, this suspension not only did not give the team any breathing time, but also seriously affected their preparations.

Because when the coaching staff adjusts the players' status, it is often accompanied by a cycle of ups and downs.

This is what is called league rhythm.

For example, if there are two games in a week, the daily training plan is to allow the players to perform in good condition in the midweek and weekend games.

If the schedule is suddenly disrupted in the middle, the entire subsequent schedule will be like a domino that has been pushed down, and adjustments will need to be made continuously.

But the Chinese in Bayswater are still under heavy pressure from the competition.

In some ways, the players are more exhausted mentally than physically.

This resulted in the team suddenly having a collective short circuit for three minutes in the match against Everton.

But there is really no good solution now.

The competition is so intense and the schedule is so compressed that there is no chance for the team to breathe.

In this situation, Yang Cheng can only arrange the players to play according to their physical condition and status.

In the 31st round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Sunderland away.

The Black Cats, who just drew with Manchester City at home, are also thinking about beating Bayswater Chinese at home.

The head coach is former Manchester United legendary captain Steve Bruce.

He threatened before the game that he would continue to snipe at strong teams.

The brave Sunderland performed extremely tenaciously at home, and the 451 formation also made the out-of-form Bayswater Chinese suffer a lot.

Even in the first 30 minutes of the first half, Sunderland was evenly matched with the Bayswater Chinese.

Until the second half, when the team was unable to defeat the opponent, Yang Cheng made two consecutive substitutions in the 72nd minute.

First, Hazard replaced Rakitic, and then Walcott replaced Gareth Bale.

Di Maria returned to the left and Walcott played on the right.

Gareth Bale was in poor form in this game after a series of battles.

Afterwards, the Bayswater Chinese continued to put pressure on their opponents.

It was not until the 88th minute that Hazard dribbled through the middle of the midfield and sent a through ball in front of the penalty area.

Walcott quickly inserted into the right side of the penalty area from the right.

Near the right corner of the small penalty area, the little tiger caught up with Hazard's pass and shot the ball into the goal guarded by Gordon.

1 is better than 0!

Bayswater Chinese won a narrow 1- victory over Sunderland away from home.

But this was a very dangerous win.

Both the media and reporters attributed the victory of the game to Yang Cheng's two substitutions.

At the same time, it also sounded a wake-up call for the Chinese in Bayswater.

The situation that Yang Cheng least wanted to see finally happened.

When it came to the crucial sprint of each competition, Bayswater Chinese had no chance to breathe due to continuous fighting, and the team's condition was affected.

At the same time, the team still has two make-up matches to play.

And in front of us is the pressure from the leader Arsenal.

The Gunners have been really solid lately.

Wenger's team really seems to have returned to the undefeated season of 03/04.

In this round, the Gunners beat West Ham United 2-0 at home.

Manchester United defeated Liverpool 3-1 at home.

Manchester City beat Fulham 2-1 away from home.

Chelsea drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers away.

So far, it is basically unrealistic for Chelsea to get back to the top four.

The final suspense of this season is that the four teams with the closest points are all making their final sprint.

The best thing for the Chinese in Bayswater is the schedule, but the worst thing is also the schedule.

For example, other teams can take a break.

Bayswater Chinese will also face an FA Cup make-up match in the middle of the week.

Strive to be the best!

This is the football philosophy of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Fight to win every game!

……

In the FA Cup make-up match in the middle of the week, Yang Cheng once again replaced the team with 11 substitutes and a young lineup.

Because the 32nd round of the Premier League this weekend will feature the most important match of the season so far.

Bayswater Chinese host Arsenal!

This will be a crucial battle to reverse the situation in this season's championship race!
As a result, in the 17th minute of the first half of the extra match, Fulham made a sharp counterattack, and Duff assisted Zamora to score.

Afterwards, no matter how well the Chinese in Bayswater organized and planned, they were still unable to break through Fulham's defense.

During the half-time break, Yang Cheng made the first substitution of the game.

One was replacing Javi Martinez with Paul Pogba.

After the substitution, Aaron Ramsey moved to the right and Walcott was pushed to the front line.

Matuidi fell back, while Pogba and Hazard were the free men rushing forward to attack.

And their attack direction is the left.

Yang Cheng wanted to use the left attack to suppress Duff's right side.

As a result, it was precisely because of this substitution that the two talented young men played a stunning and wonderful combination just 2 minutes into the second half.

When Pogba was dribbling forward on the left side of the midfield, he passed the ball to Hazard, and then he kept his head down and made his way forward.

When Hazard stopped the ball, he passed Fulham's right-back Kelly and suddenly made a very smart lob pass.

This lob pass went right to the left side of the penalty area, over the head of Pogba who was making a forward run.

The French midfielder jumped up and met the falling header.

The ball turned in another direction and fell diagonally to the back of the goal.

At this time, almost everyone's attention was on the wonderful cooperation between the two talented players on the left side of the frontcourt, ignoring that a red lightning suddenly rushed to the front of the goal at the back point.

Walcott easily scored the goal and equalized the score.

1 is better than 1!

What was even more unexpected for Yang Cheng was that in the 58th minute, when Walcott got the ball on the right and faced Konchesky one-on-one, he suddenly started, dribbled the ball to the baseline and made a cross.

Giroud competed for the header at the front point, but the ball was passed to the back point.

Just when everyone was surprised, a black figure suddenly appeared.

Pogba headed the ball from close range and headed it back to the center.

Opportunity is within reach!
Giroud kicked the ball in the chaos, almost as a reflex, and blocked the ball into Fulham's goal.

2 is better than 1!

reversed!
Not only were the more than 8 fans at the scene stunned, even Yang Cheng on the sidelines couldn't believe it.

Two assists?

Also, Giroud actually scored a goal?

In the 66th minute, Aaron Ramsey made a cross from the right, Giroud chested the ball at the top of the penalty area, turned around and sent a diagonal pass behind him with his left foot.

Hazard made a diagonal run into the left side of the penalty area and calmly shot the ball into the goal.

3 is better than 1!

Wembley Stadium was once again filled with thunderous cheers and applause.

Yang Cheng also made a substitution quickly.

Harry Kane replaces Walcott.

Kante replaces Hazard.

After the substitution, he gave this group of young players the freedom to attack as much as they wanted.

Unfortunately, Fulham soon realized the problem.

In the 70th minute, Hodgson replaced two players in a row to strengthen the team's defense.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Fulham 3-1 at home and successfully advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals.

This time the team's opponent is going to Manchester to challenge Manchester City away.

……

When the team is in poor form, has a tight schedule, and is about to face a crucial battle, what should the head coach do?
I believe that head coaches with different personalities will give different answers.

A more conservative head coach will choose the most conservative game strategy.

If it is a head coach like Guardiola or Wenger, they will choose to stick to themselves and continue to implement the previous tactics.

Benítez must have arranged his tactics based on his opponents.

Ancelotti should make decisions based on the players he has.

Yang Cheng has never had much idol baggage from the beginning.

His choice is the most likely strategy to win the game.

Therefore, in the home game against Arsenal, Yang Cheng gave up competing with Arsenal for possession of the ball and also gave up high-pressure defense, and the entire team retreated to their own half.

From the center line to their own penalty area, they organized a strict press and set up layers of defense.

In front is a combination of Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Walcott.

The midfield is composed of Matuidi, Matic and Modric.

Plus the defense led by Thiago Silva and Pepe.

Yang Cheng set up camp in his own half and allowed Arsenal to take the initiative.

Wenger also attaches great importance to this game.

Don't think that the Gunners are now leading by 5 points.

But don’t forget that Yang Cheng still has two rounds of make-up matches to play.

Theoretically, if Bayswater Chinese win the two make-up matches, they will reverse the points lead over Arsenal.

Therefore, Wenger has only one idea, which is to beat Bayswater Chinese away and get a real lead.

What's more, as luck would have it, the Chinese in Bayswater have been having problems with their form after fighting for the entire season, which is just the right time for Arsenal to reap the rewards!
From the beginning of the game, the Gunners, playing away from home, took the initiative and attacked.

Especially Arshavin, who started on the left, was extremely active and showed no mercy against his old club.

In the 9th minute, he even fouled the Croatian when he was trying to steal the ball after being intercepted by Modric.

The scene was suddenly booed.

There were even many fans cursing Arshavin.

This is also a strategy of the home team fans.

Everyone knows that the Russian Tsar is Arsenal's most threatening player. If they interfere with him, they will naturally interfere with Arsenal's offense.

Besides, Arshavin is a Chinese who graduated from Bayswater.

How can you fight so hard at the critical moment?
Arsenal's most threatening attack came in the 18th minute.

Fabregas made a straight pass, Benzema stopped the ball in front of the penalty area, turned and passed it to Van Persie.

The Dutchman's volley from the right side of the penalty area was firmly caught by Neuer.

The rest of the time, Arsenal could only pose a threat through long-range shots.
