I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 210: Seven consecutive wins! Manchester United is in danger! The battle between two peerless strong men! [Subscribe]

The fourth round of the Premier League was colorful.

The Chinese in Bayswater suffered from the impact of the national team training, but thanks to Hazard's lore after coming on as a substitute, they defeated Mancini's Liverpool 1-0.

After the game, Mancini's team received a lot of praise, especially in defense.

Liverpool's performance deserves recognition as they were able to compete to this extent with Bayswater Chinese away from home.

At least, Liverpool fans and many media including the Echo have given positive comments on Liverpool's performance.

Mancini's team ranks 4th in the Premier League after four rounds of matches.

Surprisingly, he was not blamed too much.

Everyone believes that he can lead Liverpool out of the quagmire.

Before this round of games, a shocking piece of news happened in the Premier League.

That was the Rooney recruiting J incident!

This incident almost made the entire British media celebrate the holidays early.

The whole of Britain was in a frenzy!
How outrageous is it?
Ferguson had to keep Rooney out of the game in the 4th round away game against Everton and did not dare to let him play.

The final result was that Manchester United was tied 3-3 by Everton away from home.

Among them, two goals were scored in the second half's stoppage time.

This made Ferguson extremely angry.

Everyone vaguely realized that after Manchester United won the Champions League, the veteran players in the team seemed to have begun to be unable to play.

Or rather, I have become a little slack.

The Times believes that Manchester United’s current problem is serious aging.

For example, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is already 39 years old.

Ferdinand will soon be 32 years old.

Wes Brown is 31 and Gary Neville is 35.

Even O'Shea, who is considered a "young man" by many people, is actually 29 years old.

Carrick is 29 years old, Scholes is 35 years old, Giggs is 36 years old, Park Ji-sung is 29 years old, and Berbatov is also 29 years old.

Michael Owen is also 30 years old.

With such a lineup, Ferguson was able to win the Champions League last season and maintain his position in the Premier League for a long time. There is no doubt about Ferguson's coaching ability.

But the problem is that Manchester United now urgently needs to update its lineup.

But when the game really started, everyone found that the role of this group of veterans was still irreplaceable.

After winning the Champions League, many veteran players have clearly experienced a decline in form.

In this case, how can Manchester United remain competitive?
In turn, like Arsenal.

Wenger's team beat Bolton 4-1 at home in this round.

When Wenger's team had money, they not only made great efforts to strengthen the lineup, but also devoted themselves to the team's metabolism and maintained the team's vitality.

For example, this summer, although only two players, Chamakh and Squillaci, were introduced, a group of old players such as Gallas, Senderos, Campbell and Silvestre were sent away.

This has led to a very obvious youthfulness across the age range at Arsenal.

Manchester City beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at home with goals from Yaya Toure and Ibrahimovic.

Ancelotti's team remains as calm as ever.

The most surprising thing was that Hiddink's Chelsea defeated West Ham United 3-1 away.

But Chelsea's situation is different.

Hiddink is carrying out a youth reform, but the schedule of the new season is indeed very favorable for Chelsea.

The Blues did not encounter any strong teams in the first five rounds of games. All of them were newly promoted teams or mid-to-lower-level teams last season, which made them look invincible.

But the real test is yet to come.

Especially in the 6th and 7th rounds, they will challenge Manchester City away and face Arsenal at home respectively.

This is the real test for Hiddink!

Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese?

At least we have defeated Liverpool!
……

After the fourth round of the Premier League, the first round of the Champions League group stage will begin.

Bayswater Chinese will host Ajax at home.

The day before Yang Cheng's team played, an upset occurred in the Champions League.

Manchester United, playing at home, played with a full substitute lineup against Glasgow Rangers from Scotland.

Ferguson vowed before the game that he was very familiar with the Scottish Premier League team and knew how to arrange the lineup reasonably and defeat the opponent.

He said he was full of confidence in the starting lineup.

But in the game, Glasgow Rangers, with their tight defense, made Manchester United suffer through quick transitions between offense and defense.

The Red Devils failed to score against Glasgow Rangers at home.

0-0, both sides shook hands and made peace!
The defending champions suffered a heavy blow at the start of their new Champions League season.

The British media bombarded Ferguson, saying that he was too arrogant.

The game hasn't even started yet, but you think you can win at home?

Now, Glasgow Rangers have severely "taught" Manchester United a lesson.

While making fun of Ferguson, Yang Cheng changed the starting lineup overnight.

no way.

If the Chinese in Bayswater also suffered a loss when Manchester United stumbled, it would be a big deal.

Besides, Manchester United will play Liverpool at the weekend.

Bayswater Chinese's opponent this weekend is the Knickers West Bromwich Albion.

In the end, Yang Cheng chose to proceed step by step.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Marcelo scored the first goal for Bayswater Chinese.

In the second half, Modric assisted Lewandowski to score.

Yang Cheng still made some rotations, for example, Gareth Bale and Walcott did not play, but the team's overall strength remained good.

It's really hard to get into the Champions League these days.

The Premier League is even harder!

……

On the afternoon of May 9th, the 18th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese challenge West Bromwich Albion away.

Just 15 minutes into the game, Lewandowski's goal gave Bayswater Chinese the first point and the lead.

This made everyone feel that today was likely to be another big victory.

But in the 51st minute of the second half, when defending a corner kick, West Bromwich Albion center back Olsen scored with a header and successfully equalized the score.

But just 8 minutes later, a goal from Gareth Bale increased the score again.

Thiago Silva, who had just made a mistake in defending Olsen, headed the ball into West Bromwich Albion's goal in the 69th minute with a set-piece attack in the frontcourt.

3 is better than 1!

Bayswater Chinese successfully defeated West Bromwich Albion away and won 3 points.

In an interview with media reporters after the game, the Baggies' head coach Di Matteo revealed that his team once saw hope of a draw, but at the critical moment, Gareth Bale's goal widened the gap again.

"The joy of scoring a goal only lasted for eight minutes."

Di Matteo said that the Chinese team at Bayswater is indeed very strong in the new season.

"Yes, the team that came to the away game today was not the strongest Bayswater Chinese team. They made many position rotations, but they still won. This is the difference!"

"We have tried our best!"

While Bayswater Chinese beat West Bromwich 3-1 away, Arsenal narrowly beat the Black Cats Sunderland 2-1 away.

The match was won very closely.

Arsenal took the lead early on with Fabregas scoring a brilliant goal.

But in the second half, Alexander Song received a second yellow card and was sent off with a direct red card.

Arsenal, with one man less, gradually became passive on the field, but still in the 74th minute, they broke Sunderland's goal with a penalty created by Arshavin.

It wasn't until the very end of the game that Darren Bent equalized for Sunderland.

The Gunners won, but it was a dangerous victory.

The most watched match in this round is the Red Derby between Manchester United and Liverpool.

In order to prepare for the Manchester derby, Ferguson made a large number of rotations in the Champions League, but was tied at home by Glasgow Rangers. He was ridiculed by many media and criticized by Manchester United fans.

In this game, Manchester United had a difficult time facing Liverpool's tight defense.

It was not until the 42nd minute that Berbatov received an assist from Giggs and scored the first goal for Manchester United.

In the second half, Berbatov headed in a cross from Robben in the 59th minute to score against Buffon.

This also made Yang Cheng, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, feel extremely "indignant"!
"Why is Buffon so effective only against us?"

This is of course a joke.

Buffon made a very good save in the first half.

In the 64th minute, O'Shea's assist allowed Berbatov to score a hat trick.

Everything seemed to be heading towards Manchester United's complete victory.

But the unpredictability of football games soon became apparent.

In the 74th minute, Joe Cole made a straight pass, Torres rushed into the penalty area, broke through Vidic, and shot the ball into Van der Sar's goal, pulling a goal back for Liverpool.

Just six minutes later, Joe Cole made a straight pass. When Suarez received the ball at the front of the penalty area, he was knocked to the ground by Manchester United defender O'Shea. Gerrard took a direct free kick and penetrated the Manchester United goal.

2 is better than 3!

The situation suddenly reversed!

Liverpool took advantage of the victory and launched a crazy counterattack.

By this time, Manchester United's players were already physically exhausted.

Mancini made substitutions one after another.

Especially Balotelli's substitute appearance.

At this time, Liverpool had three forwards on the forward line.

The Red Army's frenzied counterattack made people feel as if they were seeing the tenacious iron army in Istanbul, Turkey in 05.

Manchester United was losing ground and was at a loss as to where to go.

It was not until the 92nd minute that Aquilani made a long pass, Balotelli quickly rushed to the penalty spot, and headed the ball into the goal guarded by Van der Sar.

The Italian center forward rushed out of the court excitedly, roaring like a wild beast.

3 is better than 3!

This battle at Old Trafford was truly exhilarating.

Let everyone see the passion of the Premier League.

In the words of Liverpool legend Alan Hansen: "This is the blood that belongs only to Liverpool!"

That's right.

Even after falling behind by 3 goals, they were able to equalize the score and recreate the Istanbul miracle. The blood of this Liverpool team is indeed engraved with genes different from those of other teams!

But Ferguson's team also showed some disadvantages.

Especially the collapse in the second half.

Almost everyone agreed that Ferguson's team was in urgent need of restructuring.

"Manchester United is now at the end of its rope!"

"Last season's Champions League seemed to have drained all of Manchester United's energy!"

But Ferguson still refused to accept criticism from the outside world at the post-match press conference, insisting that Manchester United would soon turn the situation around.

However, The Sun, which is famous for its transfer intelligence, revealed that Manchester United has actually been paying attention to some young players in the transfer market. As early as this summer, Manchester United had plans to increase its efforts to recruit players.

"But Ferguson did not make any moves in the transfer market because the current prices of players were too high."

The Sun revealed that the players Manchester United is currently observing are Argentine Kaka and Pastore from Serie A Palermo.

The Argentine international came to Serie A from the Argentine Hurricane last summer and performed very well.

The transfer fee at the time was only 500 million pounds.

Nowadays, Palermo is not opposed to player transfers, but the price for Pastore is as high as 4000 million pounds.

This made Ferguson unable to do it no matter what.

In addition to Manchester United, teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern have all set their sights on Pastore.

This also makes the value of Argentine Kaka remain high.

In the last two games of the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Wigan Athletic 5-2 away with goals from Tevez and Yaya Toure.

Chelsea beat newly promoted Blackpool 4-0 at home.

After this round, Chelsea will face two consecutive key matches.

……

In the middle of the week, in the third round of the League Cup, Bayswater Chinese played at home against third-tier Milton Keynes.

Speaking of which, Milton Keynes has a close connection with the former crazy gang Wimbledon.

In fact, to some extent, Milton Keynes is the true heritage of the Mad Gang.

At that time, Wimbledon had no home stadium, its performance was not ideal, and its financial situation made it move out of London and relocate to Milton Keynes, merging and reorganizing with the local Milton Keynes Club.

Today, the team is still in the third-level English League One.

Yang Cheng played at home with an all-substitute lineup.

Goalkeeper: Begovic;
Defence: Ryan Bertrand, Jose Fonte, Kompany and Kyle Walker;
Midfield: Javi Martinez drops back, with Paul Pogba and Aaron Ramsey in the middle;
Forwards: Hazard, Giroud and De Bruyne.

De Bruyne still has very good speed today and can play in any position on the left, center or right of the frontcourt.

Even on the wing, he has very good breakthrough ability.

Yang Cheng also wanted to use this game to examine whether the Belgian wingers Hazard and De Bruyne can succeed and how much strength they can exert.

The course of the game was more like a one-sided offensive demonstration by the Chinese in Bayswater.

Milton Keynes were able to occasionally counterattack, but there was not much threat.

But the attack of the Chinese in Bayswater could never be sorted out.

It was not until the 24th minute that Ryan Bertrand on the left advanced to the front court and completed an offensive cooperation with Hazard.

Hazard scored a goal in the penalty area to open the scoring for Bayswater Chinese.

Just two minutes later, Ryan Bertrand made a forward pass from the left and Giroud scored with a header.

2 is better than 0!

Two minutes later, Aaron Ramsey scored again.

The attack was still planned on the team's left side.

In just 6 minutes, the Chinese team in Bayswater scored 3 goals.

Ryan Bertrand continued to instigate attacks, not only providing two assists but also planning the third goal.

The English left-back is getting better and better.

But after scoring three goals in a row, Bayswater Chinese's attack stalled again.

The main reason is the poor operation.

The midfield composed of Pogba, Javi Martinez and Aaron Ramsey is capable of both offense and defense, but still lacks some skills in organizing and planning attacks.

"If Pogba and Aaron Ramsey play at the same time, it might be better to use Matic behind him."

Brian Kidd suggested.

Matic started out as a No. 10 attacking midfielder and has good organizational and teamwork abilities.

Although Javi Martinez is also a midfielder and has played as a number 10, he is not good at organizing and planning.

Yang Cheng agreed with Brian Kidd's judgment.

But for now, he does not want to disrupt the midfield combination of Toni Kroos, Matic and Modric.

These three midfielders are very complementary and all have excellent passing skills.

Matic is even better at passing the ball than Casemiro, who was in the back three midfielders in Yang Cheng's previous life.

Therefore, Yang Cheng is now bringing these three midfielders together, allowing them to work together as much as possible and quickly build up a tacit understanding.

As for the cup competition, Yang Cheng was not particularly worried.

The first half ended with 3-0.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made adjustments to the midfield.

De Bruyne returned to the center and played as right central midfielder, while Aaron Ramsey played as right winger.

Both are versatile.

Moreover, Yang Cheng gave them freedom to express themselves freely.

But the effect is still not very good.

In the 60th minute, Yang Cheng replaced Giroud with Harry Kane.

In the 80th minute, Pogba dribbled the ball forward and completed a two-pass combination with Hazard on the left side outside the penalty area.

The French midfielder passed the ball straight into the left side of the penalty area.

Harry Kane didn't stop the ball and shot directly into the goal, 4-0!

This was also the last goal of the game.

Bayswater Chinese beat Milton Keynes 4-0 at home!

Yang Cheng was very satisfied with this result.

But the team did expose many problems.

For example, De Bruyne is not yet the world-famous passer that Yang Cheng was in his previous life.

Although Aaron Ramsey's performance is getting better and better, he still can't do the job of a core organizer well.

Of course, with the talents of these young players, as long as they practice more, it won’t be a big problem.

In Yang Cheng’s previous life, wasn’t Pogba playing as the core midfielder in the World Cup?
In Yang Cheng's mind, Pogba's best position is still left central midfielder, or even left inside forward.

……

While Bayswater Chinese won 4-0 at home against Milton Keynes, there were three upsets in the League Cup.

The first game was Chelsea, who lost 3-4 to Newcastle at home.

This is a minor upset.

Liverpool will host Northampton Town, a team from the fourth-tier English League Two, at home.

As a result, the Reds, playing with an all-substitute lineup, failed to break through Northampton's goal.

After the 90-minute game, the two sides played overtime and the score was still 0-0.

In the end, Mancini's team lost 4-6 to Northampton in the penalty shootout.

After the game, the famous Italian coach was criticized by more than 2 Liverpool fans who came to the scene.

After all, no fan is willing to spend money to buy a ticket and watch their favorite team lose.

And they lost to a fourth-tier team.

Coincidentally, Manchester City also sent out all substitutes and lost 1-2 to West Bromwich Albion away from home.

When Yang Cheng heard the news, his first reaction was surprise.

Then he realized that this was all part of the plan.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool have all invested all their energy and resources into the league.

Manchester City still has a Champions League to play.

Under such circumstances, they don't take the League Cup seriously at all.

In fact, it’s not just them, isn’t Yang Cheng the same?
He also played with an all-substitute lineup.

The only difference is that Bayswater Chinese's substitute lineup is quite strong.

With the loss of three big teams at once, the League Cup seems particularly deserted.

……

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

The focus of this round is the match between Manchester City and Chelsea at home, which is scheduled for noon on September 9 and will be broadcast live around the world.

Currently, the only two teams in the Premier League that have maintained five consecutive wins are Bayswater Chinese and Chelsea.

But unlike Yang Cheng's team which has already faced Liverpool, Chelsea's five opponents so far are all lower-ranked teams, which has led everyone to question Chelsea's unstoppable momentum.

Now, facing Manchester City is an opportunity for Hiddink's team to redeem itself.

In this key battle, Ancelotti continued to use his 4321 formation.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;

Defence: Leighton Baines, Chiellini, Lucio and Zabaleta;
Midfield: Gareth Barry, Pirlo and Yaya Toure form a three-man defense, with David Silva and Kaka in front; Forward: Ibrahimovic.

Hiddink also sent out all his main players, and they played in a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Cech;
Defence: Ashley Cole, Alex, Terry and Ivanovic;
Midfield: Mikel is in the back, Sneijder and Essien are in the middle;
Forwards: Malouda, Drogba and Eto'o.

Lampard is out due to injury.

The two teams were in full swing from the start and went straight into a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle.

Chelsea's tactics this season are a bit like the Roman phalanx in combat.

The shield soldiers were in front, and after the battle began, they rushed forward with great force.

They are always able to suppress their opponents by relying on their overall coordination, offense-defense transition speed, and physical strength.

Because they all faced mid- and lower-level teams.

So, it's easy to gain the upper hand.

But in Manchester, when Hiddink's Roman phalanx rushed forward, the shield soldiers in front collided with Ancelotti's shield soldiers.

After the two sides confronted each other, they found that they were evenly matched.

The entire first half was extremely exciting, but also quite dull.

Both sides tried their best to restrain each other, but neither of them launched a brilliant attack.

According to the Sky Sports commentator, the most exciting part was the close combat between Drogba and Lucio, two extremely tough guys!

In the 27th minute, Drogba intercepted Lucio, and then the Ivorian used his body to hold Lucio back and passed the ball back to Sneijder.

Sneijder's long shot was blocked by Chiellini and went out of bounds.

What was really threatening was the subsequent corner kick, when Ivanovic headed the ball and hit the crossbar.

This made the Manchester City fans at the City Stadium break out in a cold sweat.

But in the 37th minute of the first half, Manchester City quickly responded.

Yaya Toure suddenly made a run from behind, received a wonderful pass from Kaka, dribbled the ball continuously from outside the 30-meter area, passed three Chelsea defenders in the midfield and backcourt, broke into the penalty area, and made a low pass.

Ibrahimovic stopped the ball and shot under Terry's defense, but he failed to seize the opportunity and was caught directly in Cech's arms.

At critical moments, the Swedish center always fails!

In the end, the first half ended in a 0-0 draw.

Sky Sports' evaluation of the first half was: very targeted and both sides did not make any mistakes.

The competition was intense but not exciting enough.

Both Ancelotti and Hiddink put in performances of great tactical value.

In the second half, the process was basically the same, with both sides fighting very fiercely.

It was not until the 69th minute that Ancelotti made a substitution and David Silva intercepted the ball from Sneijder and passed it diagonally to Kaka.

A 3-on-3 situation immediately formed in the frontcourt.

Kaka, Ibrahimovic and Tevez, who came on as a substitute, faced off against Chelsea's Terry, Alex and Ashley Cole.

In the end, Kaka passed the ball successfully, and Tevez made a low shot, which passed through Alex's crotch and went into the goal guarded by Cech.

1 is better than 0!

This score was maintained until the end.

Ancelotti's team beat Chelsea 1-0 thanks to Tevez's goal.

……

Chelsea lost!
But this game in Manchester caused a huge response around the world.

Although the game was not very exciting, it was too intense.

And both sides have invested too many stars.

Almost all of them are stars whose names can be called out.

Plus, the match was played at the right time, so fans all over the world were following it crazily.

This battle at the City Stadium once again ignited the Premier League football market.

Subsequently, Arsenal beat West Bromwich Albion 3-2 at home.

Wenger's team also encountered tenacious sniping from their opponents.

Knickerbockers are really not a weak team!
Mancini's Liverpool beat Sunderland 2-1 at home.

Manchester United equalized the score twice away from home after falling behind twice.

The final result was a 2-2 draw with Bolton.

There were indeed problems with Ferguson's team.

Especially at this moment, when competition in the Premier League is becoming increasingly fierce, if Manchester United does not make adjustments, it will be in danger.

Since Chelsea suffered their first defeat of the season, everyone turned their attention to another game the next day at noon.

Bayswater Chinese will host Wigan Athletic at home.

Yang Cheng still sent all his main forces to fight.

Before the game, he called for beating Wigan Athletic, maintaining the winning streak and defending the leading position.

21 minutes into the game, Matic made a wonderful pass and Gareth Bale scored for the team.

After the second half, Modric assisted first, followed by Walcott's cross from the right.

In the end, Gareth Bale scored a hat-trick to help the team beat Wigan Athletic 3-0 at home.

As Yang Cheng wished, the team defeated the opponent without any danger and continued to lead the standings.

At the same time, in 6 league rounds, Bayswater Chinese scored 24 goals and conceded only 1 goal.

Such amazing offensive firepower amazed the entire European football world.

In the front trident, Lewandowski scored 6 goals in 8 games thanks to his previous five goals.

Gareth Bale also scored 7 goals with a hat trick in this round.

Walcott also contributed 4 goals.

In other words, the front trident contributed 19 goals.

Such attacking power is enough to make the Chinese in Bayswater stand out from the crowd!

……

The crazy offensive momentum of the Chinese in Bayswater has obviously not stopped.

Three days after the sixth round of the Premier League, the team traveled to Slovakia to challenge Zilina away.

In this game, Yang Cheng made intensive rotations.

On the one hand, we are playing away from home, and on the other hand, the opponent is indeed not strong.

But what no one expected was that the competition would go so smoothly.

Just 12 minutes into the game, Giroud ran into an open space in the frontcourt after being offside, received Rakitic's over-the-top pass from the left rib, chested the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and kicked the ball into the goal of Zilina.

1 is better than 0!

In the 21st minute, Hazard dribbled past the defense on the left and passed the ball behind him, and Giroud made a volley to score.

2 is better than 0!

The Frenchman scored twice.

Just three minutes later, Piszczek broke into the penalty area from the right, received a through pass from Aaron Ramsey, and scored again.

3 is better than 0!

In the 36th minute, Di Maria cut inside after an empty run, received a wonderful pass from Hazard on the right side of the arc, and shot into the goal with his left foot.

4 is better than 0!

After the second half, Aaron Ramsey received an assist from Hazard and scored against Zilina.

5 is better than 0!

Hazard scored a hat trick of assists!

Just two minutes later, Piszczek assisted Giroud to score with a header and completed a hat trick.

6 is better than 0!

In the 63rd minute, Harry Kane, who had just replaced Giroud for 8 minutes, passed the ball back in the penalty area, and Aaron Ramsey made a long shot to score.

7 is better than 0!

The Welsh midfielder also scored twice!

Afterwards, both sides deliberately slowed down the pace.

Especially the Bayswater Chinese.

With a 7-goal lead, the team decided to stop.

After all, this is an away game.

What Yang Cheng didn't expect was that the opponent would be so vulnerable at home.

This is probably related to their desire to score a goal at the beginning of the game.

If you just defend tightly, it won't be easy to score goals.

Especially Giroud, he actually performed a hat trick in the Champions League. Can you believe it?
……

When the rotated players brought back a 7-0 victory away from home, it immediately caused a huge response in London and the UK.

But Yang Cheng didn't have any extra time to be happy.

After returning to London, the 7th round of the Premier League came immediately, and the opponent was Everton.

Moyes' team adopted a 4231 defensive tactics away from home.

Although Yang Cheng was prepared for this, he still couldn't effectively break the opponent's goal.

It wasn't until the 54th minute that the team got a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt.

Modric assisted and Kompany scored with a header, opening the scoring for the team.

1 is better than 0!

In the 93rd minute, Marcelo and Gareth Bale made a beautiful combination on the left, and the Brazilian broke into the left side of the penalty area and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty spot with his left foot.

Walcott came in from behind and shot low, once again penetrating Everton's goal.

2 is better than 0!

Bayswater Chinese beat the Toffees at home!

The results of other matches in the same round have also been announced one after another.

Manchester United still performed poorly despite fighting on multiple fronts, drawing 0-0 with Sunderland away from home.

This time, Ferguson is an example of someone who made a big mistake and then committed suicide.

Manchester United was too arrogant in the first round of the Champions League group stage and was tied by Glasgow Rangers, which put them in a difficult situation.

Therefore, when Ferguson's team challenged Valencia away in the second round of the group stage, they had to do their best to win.

This in turn affects the weekend league.

Manchester City, who is also playing in the Champions League, has also been affected to some extent.

Two goals from Ibrahimovic and Tevez helped the Blue Moon beat Newcastle 2-1 at home.

Liverpool beat Blackpool 2-1 at home.

The Reds are also distracted by the Europa League.

The most watched match in this round is the focus match on the second match day, where Chelsea will face Arsenal at home.

Chelsea took the initiative against Arsenal in the away game. They took the initiative from the start and adopted a high-pressure style of play. It was obvious that they were unprepared and were at a loss from the start.

Less than a minute into the game, Sagna made a cross from the right, Benzema made a beautiful diving header in front of Alex, the ball hit Alex's leg and deflected into Cech's goal.

Cech really had no way to deal with such a ball.

1 is better than 0!

The Gunners got off to a dream start.

After losing the ball at home, Chelsea immediately launched a counterattack.

The two teams played fast-paced offensive and defensive games continuously, and the game immediately became very exciting.

Drogba stepped up at the crucial moment and in the 39th minute, he used an incredible heel shot from the edge of the small penalty area to send the ball into the goal guarded by Lloris.

1 is better than 1!

draw!

After equalizing the score, Hiddink's team returned to the state of steady defense and counterattack.

But in the end, the Dutchman paid the price for his conservatism.

Wenger insisted on attacking and kept asking his team to attack.

In the 80th minute, Arshavin made a cross from the left, and Benzema headed the ball in front of the goal, which once again penetrated Cech's goal.

2 is better than 1!

The French center forward scored twice!

After that, Chelsea launched a crazy counterattack.

In the last 10 minutes, the situation was almost one-sided, with Chelsea attacking and Arsenal defending.

But in the end, Chelsea failed to break the Gunners' goal.

1 is better than 2!

The Blues lost again at home, suffering two consecutive defeats!

From the unstoppable five-game winning streak at the start of the season to the recent two consecutive defeats against strong opponents, especially the 1-2 loss to Arsenal at home, Hiddink's Chelsea has been under tremendous pressure.

At the post-match press conference, Hiddink publicly stated that he was willing to take responsibility for the defeat.

After the game, the media accused Hiddink of being too conservative.

After equalizing the score, Hiddink did not try to press on, but instead returned to a defensive counterattack.

It was only the first half.

Hiddink's explanation for this was that he thought that was not the best time to have a decisive battle with Arsenal.

He would rather launch a counterattack in the second half.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Chelsea suffered defeat in two consecutive strong matches.

This is definitely a heavy blow to the Blues.

After 7 rounds of games, Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese are leading the way with 7 consecutive wins and have 21 points!
Almost all the media and fans sang praises for the Chinese in Bayswater.

At the beginning of the season, everyone was still worried about whether Toni Kroos would be a flash in the pan.

Well, after seven rounds of games, everyone saw that the Bayswater Chinese's midfield operations were becoming more and more skillful and smooth.

"He who controls the midfield controls the world!"

"Yang Cheng has been implementing this sentence all along."

"All the fans will probably never forget the devilish midfield formed by Modric, Yaya Toure and Las Diarra. This midfield created the first peak of the Chinese in Bayswater!"

"Yang Cheng swept the entire European football world with this midfield!"

"But after several transfers and sales, the Bayswater Chinese midfield has fallen apart, and now only captain Modric is left in the team."

"However, with the rise of Rakitic and Matic and the arrival of Javi Martinez, Bayswater Chinese's midfield still maintains the level of the top European teams."

"This season, we have found that with the arrival of Toni Kroos, the Bayswater Chinese midfield has become stronger again, showing great attacking power and control in both the Premier League and the Champions League."

"Compared to the devilish midfield of the Bayswater Chinese back then, today's midfield may be slightly inferior in defense, but it is far better than the past in terms of organizing offense, passing and rhythm control."

“Perhaps, Yang Cheng will create glory again with this set of midfield!”

Bayswater Chinese leads the standings with 21 points, followed closely by Manchester City with 19 points.

Ancelotti's team is becoming more and more stable and their overall performance is also excellent.

Next up is Wenger's Arsenal, with 16 points.

Chelsea has suffered heavy losses in the last two rounds of games, but still maintains 15 points and ranks fourth in the standings.

Manchester United and Liverpool both have 11 points, ranking 5th and 6th respectively.

Judging from the current situation of the entire Premier League, Manchester United and Liverpool are undoubtedly the teams with relatively poor performances at the start.

But the two teams are different.

Manchester United has only encountered one strong team, Liverpool, so far, and was tied at home.

But Liverpool is different.

The Reds' schedule this season is devilish.

At the beginning of the season, they have faced Arsenal, Manchester City, Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United.

In 7 rounds of games, 4 strong teams met.

There is only one Chelsea left.

So, judging from the current situation, Liverpool's situation is much better than Manchester United.

Even better than Chelsea.

The key lies in Mancini's team's efficiency in scoring points against weaker teams.

With three center forwards, Torres, Suarez and Balotelli, plus stars such as Gerrard and Kuyt, Liverpool's current strength is definitely strong.

Mancini repeatedly stressed in the post-match press conference after defeating Blackpool that Liverpool was experiencing the most difficult schedule in the history of the Premier League.

After seven rounds of games, the Red Army is still in the first group, and he is very satisfied with this.

At the same time, he also firmly believes that the Red Army will put on a satisfactory performance in the next game.

"We are still one of the strongest contenders for the championship!"

"Any team that underestimates us will eventually be punished!"

Gerrard also said that the Reds' morale is very good now and the players are very satisfied with the team's competitiveness.

“We are more confident than ever!”

Manchester United is equally unwilling to be outdone.

But Ferguson's team lost points consecutively without experiencing many strong confrontations, which undoubtedly made the Red Devils players very disappointed.

As The Times put it, "last season's Champions League title has left Manchester United with a puritanical streak."

"This season's Red Devils have clearly lost their hunger for victory!"

However, The Times believes that the national team training after the seventh round of the Premier League will undoubtedly provide the Red Devils with a rare breathing opportunity, and Ferguson needs to make adjustments quickly.

"Whether Manchester United can regain their fighting spirit and get out of trouble depends on coach Ferguson!"

The outside world is full of confidence in the Bayswater Chinese who have been leading the way, but Yang Cheng himself does not dare to be careless.

On the one hand, Bayswater Chinese is the club most affected by the national team training.

On the other hand, after two weeks of national team training, the team will go away to challenge Arsenal.

Next up is the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk.

It can be said that the schedule is still very tight and the pressure is very high.

Under such circumstances, Yang Cheng still kept a low profile.

When interviewed by media reporters, Yang Cheng repeatedly emphasized that the Chinese from Bayswater are the favorites to win the championship!
As for who will win the championship, it is too early to say.

……

When the Premier League was suspended again, the French Ligue 1 was also suspended due to national team training.

Between the two national team training sessions, Ligue 4 also held four rounds of league matches.

Unlike the Chinese in Bayswater who have to fight on two fronts, Nice only needs to focus on Ligue 1.

The French Cup has not yet started, and Ligue 1 teams will have to wait until January next year to play in the cup.

The national team training also had some impact on Nice, but not too big.

After returning, in the 5th round of Ligue 2, Nice defeated Bordeaux 1- at home.

But a week later in the sixth round of Ligue 6, Ronald Koeman's team lost 1-2 to Sochaux away.

This is also Nice's first loss of the season.

Then at home, Nice drew 2-2 with the leader Rennes, stopping the decline.

But in the 8th round, they drew 0-0 with Paris Saint-Germain away from home.

As a result, after 8 rounds of games, Nice had 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and got 15 points, ranking third in Ligue 3.

Currently, Nice is 2 points behind the leaders Rennes.

Saint-Etienne has the same points as Rennes, but is ranked second due to goal difference.

After Nice, there are Lille and Toulouse.

Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille ranked 8th and 9th respectively.

Judging from the French Ligue 9 in September, Ronald Koeman has gradually attracted the attention of other teams after his amazing performance in the early part of the season, but his overall performance is still good.

Even though they lost to Sochaux away from home, the latter is still ranked 7th, even higher than Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.

But the team was able to draw with Rennes at home and draw with Paris Saint-Germain away, so their performance is still worthy of recognition.

For this purpose, Yang Cheng flew to Nice, France, to meet with Ronald Koeman. He also cheered up the entire new management team and delivered a series of excellent news.
