I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 220 Blitzkrieg! Defending the League Cup! Yang Cheng: I really want to comfort you, Jose! [Subscribe]

When German referee Wolfgang Stark blew the whistle to end the game, the Bernabeu Stadium was completely drowned out by the boos of Real Madrid fans.

This is destined to be another controversial game!

Just like Mourinho.

The result of the game was 2-0.

Thanks to goals from Lewandowski and Di Maria, Bayswater Chinese beat Real Madrid away.

But the controversy was not about the goal, but about the yellow card in the second half.

After establishing a leading advantage in the first half, Bayswater Chinese played more calmly in the second half.

Yang Cheng chose to let Real Madrid take the initiative and then counterattack the opponent.

In the 53rd minute, Modric made a straight pass in a counterattack. When Di Maria received the ball and was about to have a one-on-one chance, Ramos committed a fierce foul and knocked the Argentine to the ground.

Stark gives Ramos a yellow card.

Since he had received two yellow cards in the group stage, Ramos will be suspended for one game in the second leg.

Later, Matic also received a yellow card while defending Ronaldo.

This was the first yellow card for Bayswater Chinese in the game.

But just four minutes later, Carvalho also received a yellow card when defending Gareth Bale.

The Portuguese central defender also accumulated three yellow cards and will be suspended for the next round.

But it must be said that Mourinho's aggressive attack effectively interrupted the attack of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Once the offense and defense change, if the first wave of counterattack fails, Real Madrid's defense will quickly take shape.

However, Mourinho paid the price again in the 81st minute.

Xabi Alonso pulled Modric while defending him and received a yellow card.

The funniest thing is that he also accumulated 3 yellow cards and will be suspended.

The entire Bernabeu Stadium was suddenly filled with boos!
Throughout the game, Real Madrid only lost 2 goals, but lost 3 main players in the next round.

How can we still play this game?
Real Madrid fans in the stands kept attacking the visiting team's players and the referee, thinking that their whistle at the Bernabeu was biased towards the visiting team.

Otherwise, how to explain that only one yellow card was given to the opponent, but 5 were given to Real Madrid?
Yang Cheng shook his head watching from the sidelines, and said to Brian Kidd with a smile: "Just wait and see, with Mourinho's character, I guarantee that the press conference after the game will be exciting!"

Why did Real Madrid get so many cards in this game?
You really can't blame Wolfgang Stark, even the German referee showed some mercy.

If you really want to be picky, there was more than one yellow card in the first half.

Mourinho's tactics for tonight's game were very aggressive and his moves were relatively large.

"If Stark enforces the law strictly, Real Madrid will probably have someone sent off at the start of the game." Brian Kidd was quite unconvinced.

If this isn't favoritism towards the home team, what is this?
"You know that Mourinho is of the same character as Ferguson. As long as he suffers a loss, no matter whether he is right or not, he will attack the referee for bias first. There is no doubt about it." Yang Cheng said happily.

Brian Kidd nodded with a smile.

Sure enough, the person who knows you best must be your enemy.

"But it is indeed rare to see three players suspended for accumulating yellow cards in a game," Brian Kidd laughed.

If we have to blame someone, we can only blame Mourinho for playing too aggressively in the group stage.

The player gets too many cards.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, Mourinho played the same way in the Champions League in his first season as Real Madrid coach, and even reshuffled the team with Xabi Alonso and others.

As a result, the cards were not shuffled and he was directly sent off with a red card.

Up to now, Mourinho has not reshuffled the cards, but won’t the players’ yellow cards have to be kept until the knockout stage?

Yang Cheng was chatting with Brian Kidd with a smile on his face when Mourinho walked over with a look of indignation on his face.

When the Portuguese saw Yang Cheng with a smile on his face, they were immediately furious.

"I'm telling you, stop laughing, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and beat you up."

Mourinho extended his hand while speaking.

"Then I'll commit fraud. If you touch me, I'll fall to the ground and pretend to be dead." Yang Cheng was still cheerful, with an expression that asked for a beating.

The two finally shook hands.

Mourinho let out a long sigh, obviously disappointed with the result tonight.

"You are too anxious. Didn't you always say that you would always achieve results in the third season when you lead the team?"

As soon as Yang Cheng finished speaking, Mourinho's expression suddenly became worse.

The Portuguese man snorted coldly and turned away.

Yang Cheng was left alone there, confused and bewildered.

"Brian, did I say something wrong?"

I was clearly trying to comfort him, so why did he get so excited?

Brian Kidd smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He only coached Inter Milan for two seasons."

Yang Cheng slapped his head with both hands and couldn't help laughing.

Isn't it?
It's a mistake.

In his previous life, Mourinho left Inter Milan only after winning the Champions League.

But now?

He coached for two seasons and never even got into the Champions League.

So, Yang Cheng's words sounded like comfort, but to Mourinho's ears, wasn't it just teasing him with what he said back then?
"This is really a misunderstanding, I didn't mean it." Yang Cheng felt that he was innocent.

I really want to comfort you, Jose!

……

Real Madrid lost 0-2 to Bayswater Chinese at home!

This piece of news really exploded in the world of football after the game and became the focus of heated discussion among all fans.

There was no problem with the two goals scored by the Chinese players from Bayswater. Their performance in the game was also remarkable and left a very deep impression on people.

The real controversial one is Real Madrid.

As expected, Mourinho directed his criticism directly at the referee Stark in the post-match press conference.

The Portuguese believed that the referee's enforcement was seriously biased towards the visiting team, which was extremely unreasonable.

"The only thing I can think of is that some people don't want us to go to London with our full squad for the second leg!"

"In the next round, we must accept the cruel reality of being short of three main generals!"

But it is clear that not all media support Mourinho.

Marca wrote a report pointing out the mistakes Mourinho made in this game.

The ball possession rate was 36.4%.

It was a little more than against Barcelona.

But the offense didn't find a good solution.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid is more about defense, defense, defense, destruction, destruction, destruction!
"We don't see the smooth, skillful attacking coordination of the past Galacticos, or the one under Pellegrini last season. What we see is everyone running for the ball."

"There is no doubt that Mourinho is conservative and he is thinking more about how to disrupt the attack of the Bayswater Chinese."

"But he doesn't have a clear idea of ​​Real Madrid's own attack!"

In this report, Marca also specially included a photo, which was the expression on Ronaldo's face when he complained that Mesut did not pass the ball in time in the 15th minute of the game.

Marca believes that "when Real Madrid has top attackers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Dzeko, Maicon, Mesut, Xabi Alonso, etc., if our offense is not strong enough, then the problem is definitely not with the players."

This media close to Real Madrid believes that the yellow card caused the absence of three main players in the second leg and had nothing to do with the loss of this game.

After all, Mourinho just wanted to relieve the pressure of losing at home by attacking the referee.

"When playing against Barcelona, ​​he said he was missing one man and lost the game with 1 against 10. If he had been given the full 11, he would have been able to beat Barcelona."

"But now, facing Bayswater Chinese, he played the whole game with 11 players and still lost."

“Not only did we lose the first round, we even lost the second round!”

……

After returning to London from Madrid, the team took a short break and played in the fifth round of the FA Cup with all substitutes and youth team lineup at the weekend.

This time the opponent is Brighton from the third-tier English League One.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Giroud scored the first goal for the team.

In the 22nd minute, De Bruyne scored the second goal.

Before the end of the first half, Kompany scored another goal with a free kick in the frontcourt.

After leading by 3 goals in the first half, Yang Cheng made continuous substitutions in the second half to give young players more playing time and competition opportunities.

In the end, the team defeated Brighton 3-0 and successfully advanced to the top 8.

Arsenal beat Leyton Orient 5-0 at home.

Manchester City beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home.

Manchester United beat Crawley Town 1-0 at home.

……

2:27 p.m. on June 16nd.

Wembley Stadium, London.

In the League Cup final, Bayswater Chinese faced Arsenal.

When referee Mike Dean blew the whistle to start the game, the Bayswater Chinese, who took the lead in kicking the ball, kicked the ball back to their own half.

After receiving the ball, Matic turned and passed it to the right, passing it to Piszczek.

Arsenal quickly rushed forward.

Both teams have had a week of rest.

By the weekend, other Premier League teams were playing league games, and only two teams were playing the League Cup final.

Therefore, both sides are in good condition and physical condition.

The Bayswater Chinese fielded the strongest lineup they could at the moment.

Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Piszczek;

Midfield: Matic drops back, with Toni Kroos and Modric in the middle;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Giroud and Di Maria.

Lewandowski suffered a minor injury, so Yang Cheng let him rest in this game.

Walcott has returned from injury, but Di Maria is in good shape, so Yang Cheng let the Argentine continue to start.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese players of Bayswater were determined to attack the right side where Di Maria was.

Piszczek made a straight pass to Di Maria in the frontcourt.

The Argentine winger tried to get past Clichy, but the ball was intercepted by the Frenchman.

Arsenal quickly launched a counterattack.

If Bayswater Chinese is missing Lewandowski, Arsenal is also missing a very important player, that is Fabregas.

In addition, Wenger chose Van Persie for the center position this time, and let Benzema sit on the bench with Gourcuff.

Goalkeeper: Lloris;

Defense: Clichy, Zielinski, Vermaelen and Sagna;
Midfield: Alexander Song and Wilshere form a double defensive midfielder, with Nasri, Arshavin and Rosicky in front;
Forward: Robin van Persie.

Wenger adopted a 4231 tactic in this game, obviously to balance the team's offense and defense.

But as soon as the game started, both sides picked up the pace very quickly.

Arsenal, in particular, had a very clear offensive strategy.

The first threatening attack at the beginning of the game came from Wilshere's straight pass.

Want to attack directly behind the Chinese defense line in Bayswater.

The idea was good and the pass was precise, penetrating the entire midfield and defense line, but Van Persie failed to get to the position in time to receive the ball, and Courtois got it near the penalty area line.

The Belgian threw the ball again, still determined to kick it to the right, passing it to Piszczek.

This time Modric ran over to support and tried to complete a two-on-one combination with Piszczek.

But when Modric was dribbling forward, the ball was intercepted by Alexander Song.

Arsenal's midfielder completed a very beautiful steal.

After stealing the ball, the Gunners planned another attack.

Nasri received the ball on his own left rib and passed it behind his back again.

Van Persie rushed to the front but was blocked by Pepe.

The Portuguese passed the ball to Thiago Silva.

In just over a minute, the two sides had already attacked and defended four times.

Such a fast-paced offensive battle made the fans of both sides in the stands scream with excitement.

Only teams like Bayswater Chinese and Arsenal can play such a wonderful offensive battle.

But at the same time, both sides were also worried.

Especially Arsenal.

The Gunners' defense has always been inferior to that of the Bayswater Chinese.

Wenger insisted on attacking in this game, which was undoubtedly a risk.

Thiago Silva passed the ball to Toni Kroos.

When the German received the ball sideways, he wanted to find Marcelo or Gareth Bale to play a game of cooperation.

After the opening, they kept attacking the right side, and Arsenal was obviously prepared.

So, Toni Kroos turned sideways to receive the ball on the right, took two steps to the right, suddenly stopped, turned around and changed direction, passing the ball back to the left.

Marcelo went too far back in defense just now and just crossed the center line.

When the Brazilian received the ball, Toni Kroos was the first to run over, but instead of signaling to pass the ball to his side, he pointed in front of him.

Marcelo understood what he meant and immediately passed the ball.

Toni Kroos first ran sideways, then suddenly moved forward.

When he received the ball after getting behind Wilshere, he didn't stick to the ball.

Toni Kroos stopped with his right foot, stood firm, and then sent a half-high cross with his left foot.

The ball was given to Giroud in the middle of Arsenal's 30-meter area.

The Frenchman saw the path of the ball, turned sideways, turned his back to the right, and after stopping the ball with his chest, he saw Gareth Bale was ready to go.

Giroud got the message.

He is a left-footed player, so this is the perfect time for him to pass the ball with his left foot.

The French center forward sent a straight pass.

The football just passed between Sagna and Vermaelen at the front of the penalty area and rolled towards Arsenal's penalty area.

At almost the same time, Gareth Bale shook off Sagna at an extremely fast speed, quickly cut into the left side of the penalty area, caught up with Giroud's pass, first stopped the ball with the inside of his left foot, stepped forward with his right foot, tilted his body slightly, and just blocked Vermaelen.

The Belgian central defender was not particularly good at physical confrontation and was in the penalty area. He was blocked by Gareth Bale and had no way to exert any strength.

After the Welshman stood firm, he swung his left foot and kicked.

The ball flew out at an extremely fast speed and hit the lower right corner of Arsenal's goal.

Goalkeeper Lloris stood close to the left side of the goal.

Although he tried very hard to dive sideways, he was unable to prevent the ball from hitting the inside of the right post and bouncing into Arsenal's goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"1 minutes and 37 seconds!"

"Within less than two minutes of the game, Bayswater Chinese created a chance to shoot."

"Gareth Bale volleyed the ball with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area, which he is most familiar with!"

"1 to 0!"

“That’s the threat Gareth Bale poses in this area!”

“The Bayswater Chinese blitzkrieg worked once again!”

"The one who gave Gareth Bale this wonderful assist was the French center forward Olivier Giroud!"

The entire stadium was instantly filled with the cheers of the Bayswater Chinese!

Among the 9 fans, half were Bayswater Chinese fans, and they were all cheering wildly.

Gareth Bale pulled Giroud all the way to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.

The other players followed one by one.

With a goal at the start of the game, the Chinese in Bayswater had a dream start!

……

The opening goal dealt a blow to the Gunners' morale.

But Wenger's team still maintained the tactics formulated before the game as always, and both sides insisted on a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle.

No one wants to show weakness.

Especially Arsenal.

Despite being one goal behind, the Gunners still did not play conservatively.

The two teams have many common characteristics, such as the fast transition between offense and defense.

This keeps the pace of the game at full speed.

After the ball changed hands, both sides rushed forward directly.

This is of course a huge drain on the players' physical energy, but the scene is indeed quite exciting.

In addition, both teams are very good at passing and cutting, and the ball is often passed continuously.

Football is like dancing among the crowd, and there are endless wonderful scenes that make everyone enjoy it.

Both teams continued to create opportunities and took shots frequently.

In the first 10 minutes, the two teams had a total of 7 shots.

Although it slowed down a bit afterwards, there was still an endless stream of wonderful scenes.

Especially in the 14th minute, when Arshavin got the ball, he first broke through Matic, then passed Thiago Silva and dribbled into the penalty area.

Just when the Russian was about to get past Courtois, the Belgian fell to the ground decisively.

Courtois, who is tall and has long arms, acted in time and intercepted the ball from Arshavin's feet.

Although the Russian also fell in the penalty area, the referee was very observant and did not award a penalty.

However, the wonderful performance of dribbling past two players in the middle of the defensive formation still made the Chinese players in Bayswater break out in a cold sweat.

This continuous fast-paced offense resulted in frequent changes of ball possession between the two sides, and many passing errors between the two teams.

After all, not every team has the passing ability like Barcelona.

Even if it is Barcelona, ​​if they really want to increase the tempo to as fast as Bayswater Chinese and Arsenal, they will probably make a lot of passing errors.

Regardless of whether it is Yang Cheng or Wenger, the biggest difference in philosophy with Barcelona is reflected in this League Cup final.

No matter which team gets the ball, the first thing they think about is planning an attack.

Only when the offense fails will we consider passing the ball back to reorganize.

But Barcelona is obviously different.

Their priority is protecting the ball.

In addition, the two Premier League teams did not dribble the ball much.

But Barcelona players will dribble the ball more frequently.

Both teams insisted on this back-and-forth offensive battle, restraining the opponent's offense while trying to find opportunities to break the opponent's goal.

It was not until the 26th minute that Sagna passed the ball to Wilshere in his own half, but was disturbed by Gareth Bale and the force was a little weak.

Giroud dropped back, intercepted the ball and played it to Toni Kroos.

Arsenal's Wilshere counterattacked on the spot and pounced on Toni Kroos.

But at the same time, Gareth Bale and Giroud both turned around and rushed forward.

Toni Kroos was not afraid of Wilshere. He took the ball slowly, created some space with one foot, and then made a long diagonal pass with his right foot, transferring the ball to the outside right corner of the penalty area.

Di Maria was unguarded and he chested down Toni Kroos' diagonal pass before controlling the ball with his left foot.

The Argentine paused deliberately, waiting for Clichy to get close to him before suddenly starting, shaking off Clichy, dribbling the ball horizontally and cutting inside, and sending a diagonal pass with his left foot. Di Maria was not only trying to get past Clichy, but also waiting for Giroud and Gareth Bale to come forward to meet him.

The pass was a good one, and Giroud headed it well, but the angle was too straight and Loris headed it over the crossbar.

The French center forward gave Di Maria a thumbs up, feeling a little regretful that he failed to seize the opportunity.

He had just sprinted with all his might just to catch this header opportunity.

So much so that when heading the ball, there is no time to consider the angle.

Corner kick!

Modric ran to the corner area on the right side of the goal, positioned the ball, and slowly retreated.

At this time, the tall Chinese from Bayswater all came forward.

Arsenal's defensive players also felt they were facing a formidable enemy.

In terms of height, this is the Gunners’ weakness!
If they keep watching one by one, they will still slip away.

Because of this, Wenger's team defended with extra caution.

Vermaelen even pulled Pepe's jersey, and Pepe complained to the referee.

Mike Dean had to suspend the penalty shootout and asked the two sides to separate before whistling to signal Modric to continue taking the penalty.

The Croatian gave away a penalty kick.

Pepe quickly moved forward, jumped up, and headed the ball to the back point before Vermaelen.

The speed of this penalty kick was extremely fast.

Pepe's pass is faster!

At the back post, Gareth Bale and Giroud arrived at the same time and jumped at the same time.

But Giroud, who was in a more forward position, headed the ball into Arsenal's goal.

2 is better than 0!

The entire Wembley Stadium was once again filled with the cheers of Bayswater Chinese fans!
4 fans were cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs.

Giroud rushed out of the stadium excitedly, slid to his knees, and rushed to the bottom of the fans' stands.

……

When the Chinese in Bayswater were still immersed in the atmosphere of a 2-goal lead, Arsenal suddenly launched an attack after the restart, pressing forward from both sides at the same time.

The Gunners players are obviously ready to give it their all.

Less than a minute after the goal, Sagna received the ball on the right and suddenly made a long-distance diagonal pass to the front of the penalty area.

Van Persie quickly moved forward, overpowered Thiago Silva and headed the ball in the opposite direction.

The Dutch center forward's header came suddenly, but Courtois was very focused.

But the angle is too tricky.

The ball was headed towards the far post from the right side of the penalty area. Even though Courtois was tall and had long arms, he couldn't get such a ball out.

1 is better than 2!

After just one minute, the Gunners successfully stole the ball.

The Chinese in Bayswater soon launched a counterattack.

Marcelo's cross from the left was headed by Gareth Bale, who headed the ball to Giroud who chested the ball in the penalty area. When he turned to get rid of Vermaelen, he was tripped in the penalty area.

The ball fell to Modric's feet, and the latter volleyed from near the penalty spot, but was saved by Lloris.

Bayswater Chinese players protested to the referee, believing that Vermaelen had committed a foul and tripped Giroud.

But Mike Dean refused to award a penalty.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Wilshere also made a late run, received a pass from Arshavin, and suddenly fired a long shot, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar.

This 19-year-old young player has performed better and better in the past season.

Moreover, the current Arsenal is completely different from Yang Cheng’s previous life. It has a strong lineup and more room for young players to develop.

Therefore, it is difficult for Yang Cheng to be sure whether Wilshere will still be the same as in his previous life.

……

The first half ended with a score of 2-1, with Bayswater Chinese taking a temporary lead.

When the players returned to the locker room, Yang Cheng was satisfied with the team's performance.

But at the same time, he also pointed out several problems exposed by the team in the first half.

Whether it was Van Persie's header or Wilshere's long shot, it proved that the Chinese in Bayswater had shortcomings in defense.

Yang Cheng’s requirement for the players is that they should be more cautious when they are ahead in the score.

"You have to understand that we are facing a team that can score over 100 goals in a season!"

Yang Cheng raised his voice to remind his players.

There aren't that many goals in the Premier League alone, but if you add up the total number of goals in all competitions, it will definitely be over a hundred.

After hitting the team's defense, Yang Cheng also adjusted the team's offense.

Because he found that Arsenal's defense had no good way to deal with Giroud.

This is also a shortcoming of Wenger's team.

Without Koscielny, we can't defend against high balls or center forwards.

The most typical example is Drogba, who almost tortured the Gunners' defenders into depression.

Yang Cheng’s requirement is very simple. In the second half, we should not always attack quickly. We can buffer the defense a little bit and use Giroud as a bridgehead to do something.

This can further enrich the offensive tactics of the Chinese in Bayswater.

"The Gunners were clearly targeting our attack and had done enough preparation and targeted tactics."

"On the court, we need to make some adjustments and changes according to the opponent's tactics."

In this regard, the Chinese in Bayswater are not actually doing particularly well.

This is also the reason why Yang Cheng has repeatedly said that the Chinese in Bayswater are not strong enough.

Experience is something that is not enough.

Practice makes perfect!

These four words also apply in the field of football.

Many players become more and more skilled and skilled as they gain more experience.

This includes how to adjust one's offense and defense in a timely manner according to the tactics of the opponent on the field.

……

After the change of sides in the second half, both sides continued the rhythm of the first half.

Neither side made any substitutions during the half-time break.

There were no tactical adjustments.

Therefore, the whole scene basically continued the situation of the first half.

The two teams seemed to have returned to the fast-paced offense and defense at the beginning of the first half.

Especially Arsenal.

The Gunners took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and launched two or three waves of attacks in succession.

First, Van Persie headed the ball wide.

Then Van Persie made a straight pass to the right, and Sagna, who came in from behind, passed the ball to the middle to find Rosicky.

But Courtois acted decisively and intercepted the ball before Rosicky.

After 10 minutes of play, the Gunners' attack slowed down and the Chinese players in Bayswater began to exert their strength.

In the 56th minute, Toni Kroos' long shot from 28 meters away from the goal was a little high.

But just two minutes later, Toni Kroos received the pass from his teammate Marcelo and made a precise long diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area.

Giroud headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area before Zielinski.

The Ukrainian central defender is one of the few Arsenal players who can slightly curb Giroud.

On the right side of the penalty area, Di Maria passed the ball directly to Modric who was running in from the back row without stopping.

At the beginning of the first half, the Croatian was robbed of the ball by Alexander Song's close defense.

This time he stopped, dunked, and dribbled past Alexander Song.

As soon as there was a gap for passing the ball, he made a diagonal pass with his left foot and passed the ball back to the left side of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale came like a hurricane at an extremely fast speed, and with his left foot he met Modric's diagonal pass and shot the ball directly into Arsenal's goal.

3 is better than 1!

After this shot, Gareth Bale almost hit the left post.

But the Welshman turned and rushed off the field excitedly the next second.

Scored twice!

……

Wenger sat in the coaching booth on the sidelines, his chin supported by one hand, his eyes fixed on the field.

Even when Gareth Bale and others rushed out of the stadium to celebrate, he didn't move at all.

1 to 3!
“It’s still a midfield problem!”

Assistant coach Pat Rice shook his head and sighed.

"When we also adopt an active and proactive tactic and seek more attacks, our midfield has no way to contain the passes and transfers of Modric or Toni Kroos in the first place."

"In the ball just now, it seemed that Giroud played the role of a fulcrum in the frontcourt, but the key point was Toni Kroos's diagonal pass. If we had stopped him in time or even interfered with his pass, this attack would not have been possible."

Wenger listened silently without saying a word.

But everyone could see that he felt very uncomfortable.

He prepared for this game painstakingly for more than ten days, hoping to defeat the Chinese from Bayswater in the final and win the championship!

Even if it's just a League Cup!

But now it seems that we really can’t suppress the Bayswater Chinese midfield!
"Their midfield is really strong!" Pat Rice admitted reluctantly.

As early as last summer, when Toni Kroos came to the Premier League, absolutely no one would have thought that he would bring such a huge change to the midfield of Bayswater Chinese.

Everyone thought that he was just a bonus in Neuer's transfer.

But now, his cooperation with Modric, Matic, and even Javi Martinez, Aaron Ramsey, Rakitic and others is becoming more and more skillful and tacit.

When Toni Kroos arrived in the Premier League last summer, his valuation in the German transfer market was 1200 million euros.

That's about 1000 million pounds.

What now?
£2500!
It’s 2.5 times!
Not to mention, with Toni Kroos' current performance, it is wishful thinking to want to sign this German midfielder for 2500 million pounds!

It is estimated that at least 1500 million pounds more will be needed to convince Yang Cheng.

His net worth has increased several times in one year!
And he is a player worth over 10 million.

Only Yang Cheng can do such a thing.

On the other hand, at Arsenal, with Fabregas out due to injury and Gourcuff just returning from injury, Wenger actually considered using three defensive midfielders.

That is the combination of Montari, Alexander Song and Turan.

This can ensure the solidity of the midfield to the greatest extent possible.

Moreover, these three players also have fairly good passing abilities, and have little impact on Arsenal's overall team operations.

But their running coverage and defensive capabilities will effectively protect Arsenal's defense.

The only problem is that it's too conservative!

"You know, Yang Cheng told me before that the reason we lost the Champions League final was because Ferguson was more willing to lose face than I was." Wenger suddenly said.

The tone of the French is filled with a complex mixture of bitterness, reluctance, pain and other emotions.

"In today's final, I wanted to defeat the opponent in an upright manner, using our own methods. I didn't expect..."

Wenger shook his head helplessly.

He knew that his players had done their best.

As the head coach, he has also done his best.

With Arsenal's current lineup, it is not impossible to defeat Bayswater Chinese in an offensive battle, but the hope is slim.

This is the team with the most powerful attacking firepower in European football!
Even better than Barcelona and Real Madrid!
Wenger clearly knew that there was little hope of a head-on attack.

But he still insisted on kicking like this.

Because he is unwilling!
He wants to win a championship.

But in his own way!

But today's League Cup final once again ruthlessly destroyed his hopes.

It even shook his confidence.

"Pat, which one is more important, championship or belief?"

Pat Rice was speechless.

……

After leading 3-1, both teams made substitutions.

Yang Cheng also replaced three players, Walcott, Paul Pogba and Kyle Walker.

Wenger replaced Benzema and Gourcuff to strengthen the midfield organization and attack.

But just before the end of the game, Modric made a lob pass, and Giroud headed the ball again, heading it behind the defense line, to the right side of Arsenal's penalty area.

Walcott quickly moved forward and pushed the ball into the net easily for the Gunners player.

4 is better than 1!

Bayswater Chinese finally defeated the Gunners 4-1 and won the League Cup in the 10/11 season!

This is the second consecutive season that Bayswater Chinese have won the League Cup!
After the game, Wenger congratulated Yang Cheng.

When interviewed by media reporters, Wenger expressed disappointment with the team's 1-4 defeat.

But he did not think that the Gunners were inferior in skills, but took responsibility for the loss.

At the same time, Wenger also believes that Fabregas' injury has a huge impact on Arsenal.

However, Wenger has repeatedly stressed that "the League Cup has never been our priority, so this defeat will not cause us to sink."

"On the contrary, it will serve as a reminder for us to be more focused on the remaining fronts."

Wenger said confidently, "Now is the time for us to be full of fighting spirit!"

Coincidentally, Yang Cheng's team won the League Cup at Wembley Stadium, but Yang Cheng repeatedly treated the championship trophy coldly whether he was being interviewed by media reporters or in the locker room.

Now that the league is still going on, Bayswater Chinese still have to make progress on three fronts: the FA Cup and the Champions League.

Yang Cheng said that although it is a joy to defend the League Cup title, the team should forget about the title as soon as possible and devote themselves to preparations for other games this season.

Winning the championship causes players to relax, which is also a taboo for many teams!
……

When the Bayswater Chinese won the League Cup at Wembley Stadium, they won a round of applause.

Major British media outlets all rushed to report on the event and sang praises for Yang Cheng's team.

The team's lead in the league is very obvious, and now that they have won the League Cup, they have the double crown in their hands.

But just after the League Cup final, a make-up match of the 3th round of the league was held on March 2nd.

The opponent is Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal's situation was not much better as they faced their arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby.

Derby matches were staged simultaneously in West London and North London.

It is conceivable how much attention the two rounds of make-up matches in the middle of the week have attracted.

As a result, both teams participating in the League Cup final performed poorly.

After playing against Chelsea, we will play West Bromwich Albion at home this weekend, and the second leg against Real Madrid will be next Wednesday.

In this non-stop schedule, Yang Cheng must adopt rotations, and the intensity of the rotations is quite large.

But Chelsea is different.

They had a full 10 days to arrange this game and repeatedly practice various targeted tactics.

Coupled with Yang Cheng's rotation, the team performed poorly at Stamford Bridge.

Yang Cheng's team lost 1-2 to Chelsea away from home.

Just three minutes into the game, Chelsea made a breakthrough and Drogba scored against the Chinese team in Bayswater.

Chelsea then defended and counterattacked.

In the 26th minute, Eto'o scored again with a quick counterattack.

Yang Cheng's team didn't score until the 77th minute of the second half when Rakitic scored a goal.

Arsenal were tied 3-3 by Tottenham Hotspur away from home.

The Gunners got off to a dream start and scored two goals in a row.

But Wenger's team ultimately failed to hold on to their lead.

However, the defeat at Stamford Bridge did not affect Bayswater Chinese's chances of winning the league title.

……

This weekend, it was back to Wembley Stadium.

Yang Cheng's team played against West Bromwich Albion at home.

In the first half, the two sides were tied 0-0.

The Knickers were aiming to avoid relegation and fought very hard in this match.

But in the second half, as the Knicks' physical strength was exhausted, in the 58th minute, Rakitic's volley from behind penetrated West Bromwich's goal.

1 is better than 0!

In the 72nd minute, Rakitic assisted Paul Pogba, who came on as a substitute, to score a goal.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at home.

Rakitic scored in two consecutive games.

In this round, Arsenal beat Sunderland 1-0 at home, with Benzema scoring the only goal.

Manchester United lost 1-3 to Liverpool away from home, with Kuyt scoring a hat trick.

Ferguson's team lost mainly because they were too eager to win.

Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home thanks to Kaka's goal.

Chelsea beat Blackpool 3-1 away from home.

After 29 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese had 25 points with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 77 losses, continuing to lead the standings.

Manchester City successfully narrowed the gap and got 67 points, but still lagged behind Bayswater Chinese by 10 points.

Arsenal followed closely behind with 64 points, ranking third.

Liverpool also got 64 points thanks to its victory over Manchester United in this round, but ranked fourth due to the disadvantage of goal difference.

Manchester United has 54 points, 10 points behind Liverpool and other teams.

Chelsea only has 51 points.

Although the gap has widened, Ferguson still insists that Manchester United will definitely return to the top four!
……

After playing the 29th round of the Premier League at the weekend, the Bayswater Chinese soon faced the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match in the middle of the week.

Even though they won the first leg away from home 2-0, Yang Cheng still did not dare to be careless.

After continuous rotations, Yang Cheng led the team to Wembley Stadium with a full lineup to face Mourinho's Real Madrid.

After falling behind 0-2 at home in the first leg, Mourinho adopted a more aggressive offensive tactic in the second leg, even deploying a trident of Ronaldo, Dzeko and Higuain in the frontcourt, with Mesut responsible for passing the ball behind him.

The double defensive midfielder is Las Diarra and Khedira.

Although Real Madrid was missing three key players, Xabi Alonso, Ramos and Carvalho, Mourinho's team still played aggressively and adopted a very tough defensive strategy.

Especially in the 64th minute of the second half, Di Maria dribbled the ball from the right and made a diagonal pass, assisting Marcelo on the left side of the penalty area to dribble past Arbeloa and volley into the goal.

Real Madrid then received five yellow cards in a row.

Throughout the game, Mourinho's team received 6 yellow cards.

But it still couldn't prevent Real Madrid from losing.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home with a goal from Marcelo and 3-0 on aggregate, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
