I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 199: Top of the standings! Magical Premier League, crazy relegation! [Subscribe]

"Successful teams are all alike, but each failed team fails in its own way!"

“We Chinese in Bayswater are on the right path to success!”

A sentence Yang Cheng said at the post-match press conference was forwarded by countless media.

Because he is the winner!
His Bayswater Chinese just defeated their top title rival Arsenal 3-1 in a crucial home game.

Therefore, Yang Cheng has enough confidence to say this.

Public opinion also has a very high opinion of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Fighting on multiple fronts, coupled with a tight schedule, has caused the Chinese at Bayswater to be under much more pressure than other teams.

Apart from anything else, Bayswater Chinese still have two rounds of make-up matches to play so far.

Both rounds were in December last year.

It's already April.

During this period, the schedule of Bayswater Chinese was packed with matches.

Not to mention finding a needle to squeeze in, even pouring water can't seep in.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Yang Cheng and his team to withstand the pressure and fight until now.

For comparison, look at Liverpool, or look at Chelsea.

They all left the championship team early.

Now the Blues only have one FA Cup left.

If the media reflect on Yang Cheng’s words again at this time, doesn’t it mean that everyone has their own failures?

After defeating Arsenal, Bayswater Chinese have become the number one favorite to win the Premier League title.

After the 32nd round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Aston Villa 4-1 at home thanks to Lampard's hat-trick.

Manchester United beat Bolton 4-0 away from home thanks to Berbatov's double goal.

Tevez's hat trick helped Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 3-0 at home.

Liverpool beat Sunderland 3-0 at home thanks to Torres's double.

After this round of games, Arsenal continued to lead the Premier League standings with 76 points.

Bayswater Chinese had a record of 23 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, and followed closely with 74 points.

Manchester City also has 74 points and ranks third.

Manchester United scored 72 points and ranked fourth.

Chelsea is in fifth place with 64 points.

Tottenham Hotspur is in 61th place with 6 points.

Liverpool rose to 7th place with 54 points.

With two games less, the points gap between Bayswater Chinese and Arsenal has been successfully narrowed to 2 points.

There are still 6 rounds left in the Premier League, and Yang Cheng's team has 8 rounds left. The championship battle has become completely fierce.

Almost all media outlets agree that Yang Cheng's team is the number one favorite to win the championship.

But there is a problem.

That is, the team has not stopped to rest from August to now.

They are all double matches a week, or national team matches.

This puts the players in a high-pressure state for a long time.

So far, Bayswater Chinese are still competing in three fronts: the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

In this situation, the schedule has become the biggest enemy of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Yang Cheng's attitude towards this remains the same.

The Chinese players of Bayswater also had a very consistent attitude when they were interviewed by media reporters.

That is, everyone will try their best and fight on every front.

As captain Modric told The Guardian: "We are very united in the dressing room right now."

"We will not give up any game or any front!"

"Next, we will charge towards all the champions!"

Given Modric's personality, he would not say such exaggerated words.

But he showed the determination of the team!

……

March 3th, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Bayswater Chinese will challenge French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux away.

Just 10 minutes into the game, Di Maria created a corner kick opportunity on the right.

Kompany headed the ball to Lewandowski who scored with a header from the back post.

1 is better than 0!

Just four minutes later, Bordeaux center forward Chamakh equalized the score for the home team.

But in the 32nd minute of the first half, Rakitic made a wonderful pass, Gareth Bale broke into the left side of the penalty area, shot and scored, overtaking the score again.

2 is better than 1!

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Bordeaux 2-1 away.

This victory means that Yang Cheng's team has one foot into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

This did not come as a surprise to the outside world.

Drawing Bordeaux is a lucky draw, which is like a guaranteed win.

But Yang Cheng believes that the away score of 2-1 is not safe enough.

The key is to look at the home game in the second round.

……

The impact of the Champions League in the middle of the week is still very large.

In the 33rd round of the Premier League at the weekend, in the match between Manchester United and Chelsea at home, Ferguson's team was scored two goals in a row by Hiddink's Blues.

Although they eventually scored a goal, they still lost to Chelsea 1-2.

Ferguson blamed the referee after the game, but he could not hide one fact.

Manchester United performed very badly in this game and almost suffered a complete defeat!

When Hiddink's team concentrates all their energy and resources to prepare for a game, it is difficult to stop Manchester United, who are also distracted by the Champions League.

The preparation time for the two teams is not 7 days and 3 days, but yes and no.

It is difficult to arrange targeted training for one game a week with two games a week. Basically, it is just recovery and adjustment.

Arsenal also performed poorly in this round when they faced Wolves at home.

It was not until the 94th minute of stoppage time that Benzema, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal.

A perfect finale!

Another team that does not have the pressure of the Champions League is Ancelotti's Manchester City.

The Blue Moon slaughtered Burnley 6-1 away from home.

Everyone can see that Ancelotti's team has already taken shape.

Especially in this game, in the first 7 minutes, the Blue Moon's fierce and devastating offensive scored three goals in a row against Burnley, making the opponent unable to resist at all.

We were leading 5-0 in the first half.

If Manchester United hadn't saved some strength in the second half, Burnley would have been beaten by a big score.

……

On the evening of May 4, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the 33th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese faced Liverpool at home.

The game went on to the 88th minute and the score was still 1-1.

After consecutive encounters with Arsenal and Bordeaux, the devilish schedule of the Chinese team in Bayswater continues.

This time the opponent is Benítez's Liverpool.

Yang Cheng's team was under tremendous pressure from the competition.

Especially in the first half.

Facing the well-rested and aggressive Liverpool, the Chinese in Bayswater were very passive on the field.

In the first half stoppage time, Gerrard's long shot from the left side of the penalty area penetrated Neuer's goal and helped Liverpool win the first half.

But after the start of the second half, the Chinese in Bayswater launched a counterattack.

Walcott's cross from the right went to the back post, and the unguarded Marcelo pushed the ball into the goal, successfully equalizing the score to 1-1!

Since then, neither team has been able to create a goal.

Yang Cheng also made continuous substitutions.

Including Gareth Bale replacing Walcott in the 75th minute.

At this time, the four offensive players in the frontcourt of Bayswater Chinese were Hazard, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale and Di Maria.

This fully demonstrates Yang Cheng's determination to win the game!

The players on the field launched a crazy attack.

They even frequently forced Liverpool to retreat to their own half.

Yang Cheng reminded the Welshman when he arranged for Gareth Bale to play.

The tactics adopted by the Reds today were not the 4231 formation that Benítez is best at, but the 442 formation.

Or it can be said to be an irregular 4411.

Torres and Kuyt are on the front line.

The midfield is Benayoun, Gerrard, Lucas Leiva and Maxi Rodriguez.

One of the important reasons why Liverpool is in poor form this season is the chaos in the midfield.

Xabi Alonso's departure is a sign of this.

Italian midfielder Aquilani was plagued by injuries and failed to fill the vacancy left by Xabi Alonso.

So, Benítez has been adjusting almost the entire season.

Sometimes Liverpool can beat their opponents by a large margin and win beautifully; sometimes they can lose for no reason.

Behaving extremely unstable.

Benítez's position as coach is now seriously threatened and his dismissal seems inevitable.

But what no one expected was that Liverpool was not affected by this. Instead, they performed as usual, even more united than ever before.

This is also the characteristic of Liverpool.

A united locker room has always been their advantage.

However, there is always a hidden danger in Benítez's 442 tactics.

That's Gerrard moving forward.

Just like before the end of the first half, Gerrard suddenly made a long shot and it was indeed a beautiful goal.

However, due to his frequent forward runs, Lucas Leiva was often the only one left in Liverpool's midfield.

"After you come on the field, your task is to attack this gap and use your impact force to break through Liverpool's defense!"

Gareth Bale has always kept his head coach's advice in mind.

After coming on the court, he has been observing and paying attention.

Gerrard did get forward a lot.

Liverpool was obviously unwilling to just end up with a draw. As long as they had a chance, they would actively press forward and launch attacks in the frontcourt.

The two sides fought in a stalemate and fierce manner.

Until the 88th minute.

Kuyt tried to pass the ball to Torres at the top of the arc.

The Spanish center forward dropped back and asked for the ball between the Bayswater Chinese defense and deep-lying midfielder Javi Martinez.

But Javi Martinez retreated and jumped up to compete for the header with Torres.

In the contest between the two Spanish players, Javi Martinez ultimately came out on top.

Torres has the advantage in speed, but when it comes to jumping and heading, Javi Martinez is more confident.

After heading the ball out, Modric stopped the ball first.

Liverpool counterattacked on the spot, trying to intercept the ball in Bayswater's Chinese half.

After Modric dribbled past Kuyt's pressure, he took two steps towards the center circle, attracted Gerrard and made a horizontal pass.

Aaron Ramsey walked quickly forward, stopped the ball on the left side of the center circle, and passed it forward without thinking.

The ball was passed into Liverpool's half and landed at Gareth Bale's feet.

The Welshman stopped the ball at the bottom of the center circle and turned around, facing the direction of attack with the ball.

At this moment, Hazard was still on the left near the center line, while Di Maria was further forward and had already pressed to the right side of the frontcourt.

Liverpool's two full-backs, Glen Johnson, followed Hazard and were still in the Bayswater Chinese half.

Insua was attracted by Di Maria.

Liverpool's entire defense was stretched wide open.

Lewandowski raised his hand to ask for the ball in the left rib area of ​​the frontcourt.

This move attracted the attention of Carragher and Daniel Agger behind him.

But Lewandowski and Gareth Bale cooperated very well. Just with a glance, the Polish center knew what Gareth Bale wanted to do.

So, Lewandowski suddenly shouted, and ran quickly diagonally to the right side of the center, pulling away Carragher who was responsible for marking him.

At almost the same time, Gareth Bale suddenly started and kicked the ball forward.

As quiet as a virgin, as active as a stray rabbit.

Gareth Bale's explosive power allowed him to throw Lucas Leiva, who was unable to react, behind him the moment he started.

When the Brazilian midfielder reacted, caught up and tried to entangle Gareth Bale, the Welshman used his speed to force past Lucas Leiva.

Carragher realized something was wrong and immediately ran away from Lewandowski and rushed towards Gareth Bale.

The Welshman's speed was getting faster and faster. When he was about to rush in front of Carragher, he suddenly stopped and seemed to cut to the middle. Carragher was so scared that he quickly shifted his center of gravity.

This position is already within Gareth Bale's shooting range.

But almost at the same time, Gareth Bale kicked the ball out with the outside of his left foot.

The player cut inside, but the ball was passed straight.

Just as everyone was stunned, the ball rolled quickly into the left side of Liverpool's penalty area.

Lewandowski, who had just been running diagonally towards the middle, suddenly stopped and changed direction when Carragher was trying to steal the ball, and turned around and ran diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

That is behind Carragher.

When Lewandowski ran over, Gareth Bale's pass came just in time.

The Pole chased the pass, adjusted himself, and then shot with his left foot.

The ball went into Liverpool's goal again!

"The ball went in!!!"

"Great combination between Lewandowski and Gareth Bale!"

"beautiful!"

"The two attacking players had a very tacit understanding in their attacking cooperation, which completely broke through Liverpool's defense."

"We saw that Gareth Bale's impact was really fast, and the pressure on Liverpool's defenders was also very high. They could only defend passively in many cases."

“And this through ball from Gareth Bale was quite brilliant!”

"It also allows us to see the progress of Gareth Bale!"

"Even in the most heavily defended middle lane, he was able to control his position with ease."

"Of course, there was also Lewandowski's movement, which was very coordinated and smart, especially the run behind him, which gave him a great chance to shoot!"

"2 to 1!"

"In the 88th minute, Bayswater Chinese reversed Liverpool!"

The entire Wembley Stadium was immersed in a sea of ​​fans' celebration!

This victory was indeed not easy.

But the Chinese in Bayswater still withstood the pressure.

Reversed Liverpool 2-1 and successfully kept the hope of winning the championship!
……

In the 33rd round of the Premier League, except Manchester United, Bayswater Chinese, Arsenal and Manchester City all defeated their opponents successively.

Although the processes are different, the results are all good.

After this round, Manchester United has basically bid farewell to the battle for the league championship.

After the 33rd round, the only teams qualified to challenge for the league championship are Bayswater Chinese, Arsenal and Manchester City.

Among them, Manchester City has the best schedule.

They no longer have the pressure of European competitions, only the league and FA Cup are left.

The opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals is Bayswater Chinese, playing at home.

As the season progresses, everyone can see more clearly that Ancelotti's team has gradually taken shape and is showing increasingly outstanding combat effectiveness.

The performance is becoming more and more stable.

This makes people have to take a new look at Manchester City today.

On the other hand, Bayswater Chinese and Arsenal are both distracted by the Champions League.

For example, after the 33rd round of the Premier League, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will be played in the middle of the week.

Yang Cheng's team played against Bordeaux at home.

The two sides were tied 0-0 in the first half.

The French Ligue 1 team defended tightly away from home.

It was not until the 67th minute of the second half that Di Maria got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and Pepe headed the ball into the goal, opening the scoring for the team.

Just 9 minutes later, Lewandowski received a cross from Marcelo on the left and shot in front of the goal, breaking Bordeaux's goal and extending the score to 2-0!

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Bordeaux 2-0 at home and 4-1 on aggregate, successfully advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The other three games were also decided one after another.

穆里尼奥的国际米兰分别以主场1比0和客场1比0，击败了莫斯科中央陆军，总比分2比0顺利晋级半决赛。

Although, compared to Yang Cheng's previous life, the three generals Lucio, Eto'o, Maicon and Sneijder are missing, the introduction of players such as Diego Milito has allowed Mourinho's Inter Milan to still be very good at defensive counterattacks.

曼联则是在客场1比1，主场3比1，总比分4比2击败了拜仁慕尼黑。

In the second leg at Old Trafford, Robben scored twice and performed very well.

Ferguson's team once again reached the Champions League semi-finals.

Among the top eight knockout matches, the most watched one is the match between Barcelona and Arsenal.

The two teams met in the 06 Champions League final.

Especially before the game, news broke again that Barcelona was poaching Fabregas, which triggered feud between the two teams.

Wenger even accused Barcelona of being shameless.

"Before the Champions League game, such news is spreading, which is more to disrupt our morale. This is immoral!"

In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Arsenal defeated Barcelona 2-1 at home.

Wenger struck back in the second leg at Camp Nou.

Fabregas also clarified various news about his transfer to Barcelona or Real Madrid in the media.

This is the first time that the Spanish midfielder has made it clear that he will stay at Arsenal and in the Premier League.

Fabregas will complete contract extension negotiations with Arsenal before the end of the season.

The Sun revealed that in order to retain Fabregas, the Gunners offered the highest annual salary in the team's history, a weekly salary of 18 pounds.

This is something Fabregas couldn't get even if he transferred to Barcelona.

Why?

Because of Spain's tax advantages, it only applies to foreign players, and there is no such treatment for domestic players.

And everyone knows that once the contract is renewed, Barcelona's plan to poach Fabregas will be completely ruined.

Wenger still adopted the tactics from the first leg when visiting Camp Nou this time, and was not afraid of the away game.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Benzema scored the first goal for the Gunners.

With Van Persie frequently injured and absent, Benzema became the center forward for the Gunners.

Just three minutes later, Messi equalized the score for Barcelona.

After that, Messi scored consecutive goals and performed a hat trick.

At the end of the first half, Barcelona was already leading 3-1.

But just when everyone thought that Arsenal might be finished.

Wenger made consecutive substitutions in the second half.

Arshavin scored a goal in the 78th minute, changing the score to 2-3!

The Russian Tsar's fighting ability in crucial matches is still very reliable.

Especially facing Barcelona, ​​the team he once most wanted to join.

Barcelona launched a crazy counterattack and even created opportunities frequently.

Especially in the 88th minute, Messi's sure-goal opportunity was bravely saved by Lloris.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Arsenal 3-2 at home.

The total score between the two sides became 4 to 4.

But Arsenal eliminated Barcelona with Arshavin's crucial goal at Camp Nou and the advantage of away goals.

Guardiola was deeply disappointed.

After the game, Barcelona coach believed that Abidal's injury was the key to Arshavin's goal.

But Wenger believes that Arsenal's victory comes from the team's united efforts!

Finally, the Champions League semi-finals were announced. Bayswater Chinese faced Manchester United, and Arsenal faced Inter Milan.

The Champions League semi-finals once again featured three Premier League teams.

This is the fourth consecutive season.

This shows how strong the Premier League is today.

The entire European football world was shocked.

Especially Manchester United defeated Bayern, and Arsenal defeated Barcelona, ​​the favorite to win the championship. Both matches showed the strength of the Premier League.

In terms of strength, Wenger's team may not be as good as Barcelona.

But in the game, the two teams fought evenly.

……

After returning from the Champions League, while other teams were entering the 34th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese were entering the FA Cup semi-finals.

Facing Manchester City, who had been resting for a week, the tired Bayswater Chinese had to rotate their players.

Ancelotti's team performed better and better, and the team's skills and tactics gradually matured.

Facing such an opponent, what else can Yang Cheng do except fight to the death?

The two sides fought at Wembley Stadium.

Yang Cheng still adopted a pragmatic defensive counterattack.

We launched a quick attack at the beginning but failed to pose a threat.

Ancelotti was obviously well prepared.

Although it was an away game, according to FA Cup rules, the match was held at the neutral Wembley Stadium.

It is more like the "home court" of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Here, Ancelotti dare not be careless at all.

Both sides played very cautiously.

In the end, the two sides tied 0-0 during regular game time.

No one could score a goal.

The game went into extra time until the 117th minute, when Kaka received a wonderful pass from Tevez, broke into the penalty area and shot, penetrating the goal of the Bayswater Chinese.

1 is better than 0!

The Bayswater Chinese were eliminated miserably.

Ancelotti and his Manchester City successfully advanced to the FA Cup final.

Their final opponent was Hiddink's Chelsea.

……

On the evening of April 4th, Manchester City Stadium.

In the 34th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Manchester City away.

Bayswater Chinese, who made a lot of rotations in the FA Cup, finally sent out all their main players in this game.

The twin stars Gareth Bale and Walcott started together again.

And they are extremely active.

Just two minutes into the game, Gareth Bale used his speed to overtake on the left side outside the penalty area, broke through Zabaleta, and shot with his left foot into the far corner, but the shot went slightly wide.

Not long after, the Welshman once again fired a long shot from outside the penalty area, threatening the goal guarded by Joe Hart.

Gareth Bale resolutely implemented the head coach's pre-match deployment.

Take a chance if you get a chance!
Walcott on the right was equally unambiguous.

In the 9th minute, he received a straight pass from Lewandowski and shot high from outside the penalty area.

Just one minute later, Walcott returned the favor with a wonderful pass, allowing Lewandowski to shoot from the right side of the penalty area.

As a result, the shot hit the side net.

In the 13th minute, after Walcott and Lewandowski's wall pass, Walcott's long shot from the edge of the penalty area went wide.

In the first ten minutes of the game, the Chinese team in Bayswater almost dominated Manchester City.

Ancelotti's team was in high spirits after the FA Cup and eliminated Bayswater Chinese with Kaka's goal in extra time.

But in just three days, they returned to their home ground and were almost suffocated by the pressure from Bayswater Chinese.

The offensive and defensive momentum is different!

For Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese players, the pressure of the games over the past period of time is indescribable.

In the league, they faced Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Facing Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals.

The two-legged Champions League quarter-final match against Bordeaux.

It is Wednesday now. After playing the 34th round of the Premier League against Manchester City, we will play Hull City at the weekend.

But next Wednesday is the Champions League semi-final away to Manchester United.

There are too many games and too much pressure.

And every game cannot be lost.

Just as Yang Cheng said at the pre-match press conference.

The Chinese in Bayswater have no time to be nervous or anxious. They are busy preparing and competing every day.

Win the championship?

I really haven’t thought about it!
Any degree of kicking is acceptable!
Knocked out of the FA Cup?

Sorry, the Bayswater Chinese really don't have time to lick their wounds.

Just three days later, we met Manchester City again.

Unlike the FA Cup semi-final, Yang Cheng's strategy in this game was to take the initiative.

But Manchester City is no pushover either.

Facing the aggressive Bayswater Chinese, Ancelotti's team was passive on the field, but their defense was not ambiguous at all.

Bayswater Chinese's front trident was constantly causing trouble for the opponent.

Especially Gareth Bale.

In the 43rd minute, after the Chinese of Bayswater intercepted the ball in their own half, Matic dribbled past Tevez who was trying to steal the ball on the spot, took the ball off and made a straight pass.

Gareth Bale started quickly, received the ball, broke through Zabaleta, and drove straight along the right sideline.

The atmosphere of the entire Manchester City Stadium was instantly ignited!

Even many Manchester City fans couldn't help but exclaim.

Gareth Bale dribbled the ball to the outside of Manchester City's penalty area. When facing Lucio, he performed a very simple and practical bicycle kick. After a feint, he did not cut inside at all, but went straight to the bottom to make a cross.

After running along the left side of the penalty area to the bottom line, Gareth Bale made a lob pass to the middle before the ball went out of the baseline.

Joe Hart didn't dare to leave the goal, which allowed Lewandowski, who came from the back row, to break through Lescott and head the ball from close range, which heavily blasted the goal guarded by Joe Hart.

For a moment, applause and cheers from fans could even be faintly heard in the City Stadium.

But it was soon drowned out by waves of boos!

"1 to 0!!"

"Before the end of the first half, the Bayswater Chinese team scored a goal with Gareth Bale running long distance and assisting Lewandowski!"

“It was a beautiful goal.”

"Gareth Bale is definitely the most threatening attacker in the Premier League this season."

"And Lewandowski, his goal was also quite amazing."

……

"really……"

At the moment Lewandowski scored with a header, Ancelotti, who was sitting in the home team's coaching booth, slapped his forehead hard.

"I said, this kid is very smart and shrewd. He should save his energy for the league."

The problem is that even though Yang Cheng held back his strength and made a lot of rotations, he was still able to drag Manchester City into overtime with his defense.

It almost went to a penalty shootout.

Once the game enters the penalty shootout, it is hard to say who will win or lose given Neuer's strength.

This is the most terrifying thing about Yang Cheng.

He has always been known for his offensive football and his gorgeous passing and cutting, but when it is time to be conservative, he can really be conservative.

"It's really hard to survive in the Premier League now!" Ancelotti sighed.

The competition is just too fierce.

In this round, both Manchester United and Arsenal were affected by the Champions League quarter-finals.

Ferguson's Manchester United drew 0-0 with Blackburn Rovers away from home.

After Arsenal had just fought hard against Barcelona away from home, they were defeated 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane when they returned to London and lost the North London derby.

Both games took place last weekend, at the same time as the FA Cup semi-finals.

Bayswater Chinese also lost to Manchester City.

So at that time, the entire British public opinion believed that the Champions League games dragged down the top three teams in the Premier League.

Otherwise, how do we explain the simultaneous poor performance of the top three teams in the Premier League?
"The situation in the Premier League is very confusing right now. No one is absolutely sure of winning the championship. Everyone is just taking each game one at a time."

Assistant coach Bruno Demichelis said.

"It's really not easy for the Chinese in Bayswater. They have such a small team, but they have managed to hold on until now."

After hearing this, Ancelotti smiled and said, "I have talked to him about this. He believes that quality is more important than quantity."

Bruno Demichelis understood.

For some head coaches, the more teams the better, and the bigger the lineup, the better.

But some head coaches focus on making the best use of their talents.

Just like Manchester City now, the lineup is huge, but there are only so many games, and there will always be some players who may not be able to play for a long time and have to be wasted.

Many top teams also take this route.

Yang Cheng's team is mainly composed of young players and has to strictly control salaries, so it is understandable that he strictly controls the number of players in the first team.

Just imagine, if Yang Cheng's first team had a large number of players and the young players did not get enough playing time, would they still be able to make progress? Would they still be able to play to their current strengths?

The most typical example is Manchester United.

When Ferguson relied on veterans such as Giggs and Scholes, Manchester United's young players had no chance to emerge.

However, there is also a problem with Yang Cheng's idea.

When they meet a team like Bayswater Chinese, who performed well last season and have a lot more games this season, and it is also a World Cup year and the pressure of the game is huge, the pressure they are under will also be very great.

Players are not temporary workers. We cannot recruit more players this season because the pressure of the games is high, and sell a few of them next season because there are fewer games.

This is unrealistic and will seriously damage the club's image.

What's more, people have already bought in. What if they lose on any front in the middle of the game? If there aren't so many games, wouldn't it be a miscalculation?
Moreover, top teams rarely choose to rent.

Therefore, it is a relatively reasonable and scientific approach for a player like Yang Cheng to control the number of players in the first team, appropriately promote players from the youth team to the first team, and supplement the lineup when necessary.

In short, the management and formation of the first team is a very complex subject.

Precisely because of the complexity, both the media and the fans basically judge a person's success by his or her failure.

Just like Manchester City this season.

They look strong on paper, but they are still in the process of getting used to it.

Ancelotti has been trying constantly, but has never found a mature and stable tactic.

Especially the defense.

"I think Thiago Silva is very good. He can replace Lescott and partner with Lucio." Bruno Demichelis suggested with a smile.

Ancelotti nodded repeatedly in agreement and stared for a long time.

but……

"After what happened with Andy Carroll, it will be difficult to poach Chinese players from Bayswater again."

After saying this, Ancelotti sighed with some regret.

If I had known this, I would have dug a few more last summer.

It would be better to just dig up all the talent from Yang Cheng's team.

Then he won't have to worry about the central defender anymore.

……

After the second half, the Chinese team of Bayswater adopted a relatively defensive tactic.

This left Manchester City with no good solution.

Especially in tonight's game, Gareth Bale and Walcott were extremely active in the frontcourt.

In the 65th minute, Walcott dribbled the ball on the right, passed two Manchester City defenders, broke into the penalty area near the baseline, and made a reverse triangle pass.

But Lewandowski's follow-up shot was blocked by Lucio and went out of bounds.

The subsequent corner kick also failed to pose a threat.

Manchester City made continuous substitutions and increased their offensive strength.

Ancelotti obviously also hopes to defeat Bayswater Chinese in this key battle.

If they lose, Manchester City will basically withdraw from the championship race.

But in the 80th minute, it was Walcott on the right.

At that time, two local international players, Gareth Barry and Leighton Baines, had formed a siege. If it were anyone else, they would definitely feel that they could not break through.

But when the little tiger was dribbling the ball, he suddenly kicked the ball behind the two people and followed the ball.

Walcott, who is not tall, looks quite thin, and is incredibly fast, is like a slippery loach, and he actually slipped through the gap between two defensive players.

This scene of operation stunned all the fans in the stadium!

Can football be played like this?
Who has ever seen a person pass the ball to two people at once?

After slipping past, the little tiger quickly caught up with the ball he had passed, dribbled to the right side of the penalty area, and passed the ball to the back post.

Lewandowski feinted a shot at the front point, attracting the attention of Lescott and Lucio.

Gareth Bale made a high-speed run at the back post, overpowered Zabaleta and scored with a header.

2 is better than 0!

This goal made Yaya Toure, who was returning to defense, stunned.

He could hardly contain himself from this former teammate!

He vaguely remembered that when he was still playing for Bayswater Chinese, Gareth Bale was not so strong!

In the end, Yang Cheng's team defeated Manchester City 2-0 away and avenged their elimination from the FA Cup!

……

After the 34th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese, with two games less, has an impressive record of 25 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, and has scored 80 points, topping the Premier League standings!
Arsenal lost to Tottenham at White Hart Lane due to heavy consumption in the Champions League match against Barcelona in the middle of the week, and still have 79 points.

After losing to Bayswater Chinese in this round, Manchester City's points remain at 77.

Manchester United drew with Blackburn Rovers away this round and got 73 points, ranking 4th.

But Chelsea has 70 points and has successfully caught up.

Hiddink's team is only 3 points behind Manchester United.

With four rounds left in the league, it is entirely possible to make a comeback and reach the top.

Liverpool drew 0-0 with Fulham at home and fell back to 8th place in the rankings.

After 34 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese successfully reached the top!
This immediately caused cheers from the entire British media.

Yang Cheng's team topped the league with a 2-point lead with two games less to play, which almost means that they have already grabbed the league championship with one hand.

But Yang Cheng said in an interview that we cannot be careless at all.

Because every game that comes next is going to be very difficult.

Yang Cheng specially asked someone to post the team's schedule in the locker room.

Three days after playing against Manchester City, on April 3, we played against Hull City at home.

Don't underestimate the Tigers. They are now ranked 19th in the Premier League, but unlike the second-to-last team Portsmouth which has been relegated, they are still fighting for relegation.

April 4th is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, away against Manchester United.

Ferguson's team has no hope of winning the Premier League title this season, so they will definitely focus all their energy on the Champions League.

Moreover, Manchester United's 34th round of the Premier League is on April 4, and they have plenty of time to rest and prepare.

On April 4th, we will face Aston Villa away.

Martin O'Neill's team is currently ranked 7th and is very ambitious to make a push for European football, at home.

On April 4, we will play Manchester United at home, which is the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

On May 5st, we played against Burnley at home in the 1th round of the Premier League.

On May 5th, we played away against Bolton in the 9th round of the Premier League.

There are also two additional rounds of make-up matches, namely the home game against Blackburn in the 17th round and the away game against Everton in the 18th round.

From the current perspective, it is tentatively scheduled for May 5th and May 5th.

Because May 5th is the FA Cup final, Chelsea plays Manchester City.

The final will be held at Wembley Stadium.

This means that Bayswater Chinese's rhythm of playing two games a week will have to continue until May 5.

Yang Cheng and the coaching staff are very worried about this.

Because the team's physical fitness and the players' physical and mental state have indeed reached a certain limit.

You know, the Chinese players in Bayswater are mainly young players.

Even though the team has relatively mature players such as Pepe and Modric, most of them are still very young.

This causes them to be very physically and mentally resistant to the long-term double-match weekly schedule.

This in turn affects their playing form.

But the most important thing is the intensity of competition.

For example, the Champions League semi-finals and the Premier League title battle.

Yang Cheng specially held a meeting with the coaching staff to discuss the upcoming schedule.

It's hard for anyone to let their guard down.

why?
Not to mention the Champions League semi-finals, Hull City is currently ranked 19th and has to fight for relegation.

Burnley is currently ranked 18th and is also fighting for relegation. They have the same points as Hull City.

Bolton is currently ranked 15th, but is not completely out of danger and is still fighting for relegation.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese in Bayswater could not afford to be complacent.

But they will travel north to Manchester in the middle of the week to visit Old Trafford.

If Yang Cheng continues to play Hull City at home in the 35th round of the Premier League at the weekend, sending all his main players to play and letting the players fight continuously, what will he use to fight Manchester United next Wednesday?

What's more, Yang Cheng now has two make-up matches in hand and has enough confidence and energy.

So he decided to continue with the major rotation in the weekend's home game against Hull City.

Save your energy for the Champions League semi-final in midweek.

But what Yang Cheng didn't expect was that Bayswater Chinese were tied 0-0 by Hull City at home.

As soon as the game started, Hull City played like crazy.

In order to stay in the Premier League, they are risking their lives with the Chinese in Bayswater.

The young substitute lineup was simply unable to suppress the violent Hull City.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng reacted promptly and immediately adopted defensive tactics, which barely stabilized the situation.

After the change of sides in the second half, Yang Cheng saw that the situation was not right and immediately made substitutions, wanting to strengthen the attack in the frontcourt.

But the initiative had been lost, and the Chinese in Bayswater were unable to break through Hull City's defense.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 0-0.

Just when Yang Cheng was feeling disappointed, the next piece of news almost made him burst out laughing.

Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0 at home thanks to Kaka's goal in stoppage time.

Ferguson also made a major rotation in this game, leaving the main players to play against Bayswater Chinese.

At the same time, the Red Devils deployed a set of strict defensive tactics and forced the game into the overtime period.

Wenger's Arsenal is even funnier.

The Gunners' rotation was not as strong as that of Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United, and they scored two goals in the first half.

My goodness, Wenger thought he had won the game and wanted to save some energy for the Champions League, so he made substitutions in the second half.

In the 75th minute, all three substitutions were used up.

Wigan Athletic is currently ranked 16th and the situation is very dangerous.

To no one's surprise, Wigan Athletic scored three goals in a row starting from the 80th minute.

In the end, we defeated Arsenal 3-2!

When Yang Cheng heard the news, he almost burst out laughing.

Reality is even more magical than fiction!

But the relegation team is so crazy!
Chelsea lost 1-2 to Tottenham Hotspur away in this round.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated two strong teams in a row at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool beat West Ham United 3-0 at home.

After the 35th round of the Premier League, Yang Cheng took a look at the standings and discovered an outrageous fact.

After being tied by Hull City at home, Bayswater Chinese are still at the top of the Premier League.

The lead is still 1 point.

It’s just that the team behind them changed from Arsenal to Manchester City.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

But Yang Cheng also had a vague feeling that the next trip to Old Trafford would be even more difficult!
