I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 25 is so powerful!

"The ball went in!!"

"My God, the Chinese from Bayswater were the first to break Chelsea's goal!"

"Yes, you read it right, it was the Chinese from Bayswater who scored the goal!!"

"Irish international Martin Rowland gave Bayswater Chinese the lead with a brilliant late shot just over four minutes into the game."

“It’s a really good start!”

"After the opening, we could see that Bayswater Chinese played very proactively and did not take a defensive stance."

"The long pass from midfielder Huddlestone was very good, and Ribery's subsequent series of individual performances also left us with a very deep impression."

"According to the information we received from the Chinese in Bayswater before the game, the 20-year-old Franck Ribery previously played in the fourth and third tier leagues in France."

"The Bayswater Chinese brought him from France to London on a free transfer."

"He has also been one of the best players in League Two this season."

……

“Are the players in the lower leagues so strong now?”

In front of the home team's coaching booth at Stamford Bridge, the tinker Ranieri asked his assistant curiously.

Welshman Gwen Williams has been working for Chelsea since 79, starting as a youth team coach. In the mid-90s, he served as an assistant coach to Gullit, Vialli and others.

After hearing what Ranieri said, he, who has been engaged in youth training for decades, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Yang Cheng in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.

This is also a "secret" they have just discovered.

It turns out that the head coach of Bayswater Chinese is nominally Brian Kidd, but in fact it is this young handsome guy.

"In the lower leagues, the strength of both the teams and the players varies greatly. It all depends on your vision."

Ranieri nodded.

No matter how good the top leagues are at recruiting talent, there will inevitably be some that slip through the net.

These players are playing in low-level leagues, and their personal abilities are obviously one level higher than other players, or even several levels higher.

But due to the information channels, it is difficult for most people to be well-known.

Even like the Bayswater Chinese.

Ribery in their team has very strong personal abilities.

Especially when he was facing Melchiot one-on-one with the ball, his confidence was extraordinary.

Even in the professional football field, there are very few players who dare to take the ball, dare to make moves, and show such confidence.

"They are now planning to take the initiative and suppress us in terms of momentum," said Gwen Williams.

After taking the lead, the Bayswater Chinese did not choose to retreat, but continued to adopt a more aggressive tactic.

One very obvious signal is that their defense line is often pushed forward.

"Not only that." Ranieri turned his head again and looked at Yang Cheng with interest.

"That kid knew his shortcomings. Neither of the two central defenders were the type of defenders who could hold their positions, so he simply chose to free up the central defenders and activate the offense."

Although they are a League Two team, they are from the same city after all, and there have been rumors that Chelsea wants to buy the Chinese from Bayswater, so Ranieri does not dare to be careless about this game.

Previously, scouts had visited the Bayswater Chinese on site many times.

Ranieri is well aware of the problems with Koscielny and Roger Johnson.

"What do we do now?" Gwen Williams asked.

"Push forward slowly. We have the advantage in overall strength. There is no need to take risks with our opponents."

Ranieri still looks confident.

The game has just started. Even though we are one goal behind, what does it matter?
With Chelsea's strength, as long as they keep their footing and move forward slowly, even if the Chinese in Bayswater are a dragon crossing the river, they will have to lie down when they reach Stamford Bridge!

……

All competitive sports, from individual table tennis and badminton to team football, basketball and volleyball...

In a game, momentum is very important.

Momentum will affect the players' mentality, which in turn affects the degree to which they enter the game state, and even affects the confidence and fighting spirit of the entire team.

But Yang Cheng also knew very well that the momentum was only temporary.

Our ancestors were right: the first effort is strong, the second will weaken, and the third will be exhausted.

After gaining the upper hand, the most important thing is to consolidate the advantage you have gained.

So, Chelsea players on the field quickly realized that they were facing a very special team.

They couldn't see clearly what was special about it while they were on the court.

Everyone feels differently.

For example, striker Mutu.

After joining Chelsea, he was given more freedom to run, always actively retreating to receive passes from midfield.

In the Premier League where the 442 formation is very popular, Mutu can be said to be playing like a fish in water.

In order to curb Mutu as much as possible, Ferguson even let Roy Keane and Phil Neville form a double defensive midfielder when Manchester United played against Chelsea.

But the effect is still not good.

The only time Mutu felt pressure was when he visited Highbury and challenged Arsenal.

Gilberto Silva was like an iron tower, standing in front of the defense line, putting great pressure on the retreating Mutu.

Now, facing the Bayswater Chinese, Mutu felt similar pressure again.

Tom Huddlestone!
Although this young player's defensive ability is not as good as Gilberto Silva, he is just as strong and sturdy.

More importantly, he has been cruising in front of the defense line.

This made it difficult for Mutu to find gaps and spaces to penetrate.

Ranieri conveyed instructions on the sidelines, hoping that the players could keep their composure and rely on the team's overall strength to suppress the opponent and thus gain an advantage on the field.

But on the court, Mutu and his teammates around him found it difficult to get space.

Especially in the middle.

As a result, they were forced to move the ball to the flanks more often.

Gronkjaer posed a threat when he got the ball on the left a few times, but Hasselbaink in the middle couldn't gain any advantage against Koscielny and Roger Johnson.

The two central midfielders of Bayswater Chinese were also very flexible. Whenever Lampard advanced, Mutu retreated, or Joe Cole got the ball, they would actively retreat to help defend Huddlestone.

At this time, the formation of the Chinese in Bayswater was a bit like three defensive midfielders.

Once they steal the ball, they will quickly launch a counterattack.

For example, this time in the 16th minute.

Lampard made a run forward to meet Mutu, but their pass was blocked by Huddlestone.

Modric quickly passed the ball to Martin Roland.

After catching up, the Irish international actually made a diagonal pass with his left foot, transferring the ball to the right.

The gap left by Babayaro's forward run was seized by Martin Devani.

The right winger of Bayswater Chinese failed to stop the ball at first, but still used his speed to quickly cross the ball.

If Gallas had not steadily controlled the front point and Terry had not cleared the ball with a header over Lambert, the ball would have been very dangerous.

During the whole process, the Chinese players from Bayswater advanced the ball very quickly.

How does this look like a League Two team?
Fortunately, before the game, they thought they could easily win.

By the time Mutu and his teammates around him realized this and felt the threat from the Chinese in Bayswater, 20 minutes had passed.

……

While the players were fighting hard on the court, Yang Cheng was constantly observing and analyzing on the sidelines.

The team was well organized defensively and quite threatening offensively.

Ribery's personal ability and Dewani's speed both posed threats to Chelsea's two flanks.

This forced Makelele and Lampard not to move forward easily.

The two central midfielders did not dare to move forward easily, and the attack in the frontcourt was affected.

Yang Cheng then asked Huddlestone to strangle Mutu to death.

As a result, the forward line and the midfield can easily become disconnected.

Chelsea's attack was forced to go to the wing.

Especially Glenshall's left wing.

Capaldi did a good job defending Joe Cole on the left.

Jenkins had a harder time on the right, but he had a lot of experience in defense. Although he couldn't stop Gronkjaer, he wasn't easily controlled either.

Moreover, the two central defenders behind him controlled Hasselbaink very well.

The Dutch center is already 31 years old.

Since November last year, the Dutch have not scored a goal for more than two months.

Note that in addition to the Premier League, this includes the Champions League, League Cup, and now the FA Cup.

Ranieri arranged for him to play in this game, probably hoping that Hasselbaink could find his scoring form against the bottom team of English League Two. Unexpectedly...

"Chelsea were careless at the start of the game and we disrupted the rhythm of the game in the first half. We must find a way to score another goal before halftime to consolidate the result."

As soon as Yang Cheng finished speaking, he walked to the sidelines and gave instructions to the players on the field.

Lambert needs to retreat more often to get the ball and support Modric and Martin Roland.

Ribery and Martin Devany saw the opportunity and went forward!
……

time flies.

From the 20th minute, Chelsea gradually stabilized their position.

By the 33rd minute, the Blues had gradually turned the situation around by virtue of their overall strength advantage.

Under the instigation of Glenjord, the left wing frequently created threats.

Fortunately, Hasselbaink was not very efficient due to the interference of the two central defenders and wasted several good opportunities.

But Chelsea continued to organize attacks.

In the 34th minute, Joe Cole appeared on the flank and tried to pass the ball to Mutu.

Huddlestone is tall and has long legs. He got the first step and fell to the ground to tackle the ball and cleared it away.

Martin Roland and Joe Cole started to press, but neither of them could keep the ball.

As Modric chased after him, Lampard followed.

Before the Croatian was about to receive the ball, there was an obvious feint, as if he was going to give way and turn to the right.

This led Lampard to make a misjudgment.

Modric suddenly stopped the ball with the outside of his left foot, created a passing gap through Lampard's close defense, and passed the ball to Lambert who was retreating to receive the ball.

Lambert, who was unguarded, stopped the ball and turned around. Facing Terry who was rushing towards him, he calmly sent a diagonal pass to the side.

The ball fell to the left side of the front court.

Ribery sprinted forward and caught up with Lambert's pass.

Melchiot followed closely behind.

But when the French winger stopped the ball, he suddenly stopped and pretended to cut inside.

This immediately tricked Melchiot into stopping abruptly.

Unexpectedly, Ribery suddenly started to move down the bottom line, running quickly with the ball in his mouth, and instantly got rid of Melchiot.

When Chelsea's right-back adjusted himself and tried to catch up, he could only see Ribery's taillights.

Ribery's skillful breakthrough and sharp speed won him cheers from the whole audience.

When he rushed to the left corner of the penalty area with the ball, Ribery, who had fully recovered his speed, made another skillful feint as he faced the French national team captain Desailly who had returned to defense in time.

After a feint to the left, he pulled the ball sideways with his right foot and immediately cut inside, instantly getting rid of Desailly.

Everyone in the audience was stunned instantly!

This speed and ability to change direction are really powerful!
Makelele returned to the penalty area in time to provide protection, but after Ribery shook off Desailly, he did not continue to dribble the ball. Instead, he got ahead of Makelele and passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

At this time, Martin Devaney, who had been out of everyone's attention, finally arrived on horseback.

After Devani caught up with Ribery's pass, he stopped and shot again, breaking through Cudicini's goal.

In the 35th minute, Bayswater Chinese led 2-0!

　I beg for collection! I beg for votes!! Thank you so much!!
