I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 26 Big upset

When referee Alan Willey blew the whistle to end the first half, there were boos at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea fans are dissatisfied with the team's performance this season.

Chelsea under Ranieri's coaching did not perform at a convincing level.

This is inconsistent with Chelsea's huge investment in the transfer market last summer!

In the VIP box, Chelsea owner Abramovich had a gloomy face.

The Blues, who spent nearly 2 million pounds to build, were beaten at home by a bottom-ranked team from English League Two.

And they are Chinese in Bayswater!
What reaction should he give?
"That's Ranieri's biggest problem!"

Israeli agent Pini Zahavi pointed at the court and said to Abramovich.

“The Christmas schedule is very busy, but the FA Cup is a one-off game.”

"Now, in the Premier League, Manchester United leads with 46 points, followed by Arsenal with 45 points. The Gunners are still unbeaten. We only have 42 points, so our hope of winning the championship is slim."

"Fans around the world know that heading into the winter break is Ferguson's best track."

"So, Ranieri wants to win the FA Cup and use a cup championship to prevent the league from being crowned champions."

In the League Cup quarter-finals, Chelsea lost 1-2 to Aston Villa away.

It can be said that Ranieri's team has not been satisfactory so far this season.

This satisfaction is not only about the results, but also about the temperament and mental outlook shown by the team.

"He wanted both the league and the cup, but the end result was that he couldn't keep anything. He was in chaos!"

Before the 16th round of the Premier League, Chelsea was the leader.

But in the crucial 16th round, the Blues lost 1-2 to Bolton at home and gave up their leading position.

Before Christmas, the gap between Chelsea and Arsenal and Manchester United was not widened, and was within 1 point.

但在第18轮，也就是12月26日的那轮英超联赛，切尔西客场2比4输给了查尔顿。

Although the Blues beat Portsmouth 3-3 at home three days later, the gap was already widening.

And now, the Blues were scored twice at home by Bayswater Chinese, a League Two team, in the FA Cup.

Chelsea is already one of the top four teams in the Premier League and has outstanding strength.

Abramovich invested nearly 2 million pounds and brought in many superstars, but the result is still the same?
"Roman, not all excellent head coaches, after having a team capable of winning the championship, can lead the team to win the championship!"

When Pini Zahavi said this, it was almost like sentencing Ranieri to death.

Get a new coach!
Abramovich's dissatisfaction with Ranieri has always been written on his face.

From the first moment he saw the Italian, he knew that this was not someone who could bring victory and championships to the team.

But after listening to Pini Zahavi's words, he did not speak, but turned his head lightly, glanced at the Israeli, and returned to his seat and sat down.

"The Chinese in Bayswater are quite powerful," Abramovich said calmly.

Pini Zahavi couldn't grasp the Russian's psychology and could only say: "They are currently leading in English League Two by a large margin and the possibility of promotion is very high."

"So, their stadium won't be sold?"

Pini Zahavi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Abramovich and found that his expression was normal, which was hard to understand.

“It’s hard to say.”

"I have communicated with Elvino. After selling a player, Bayswater Chinese has repaid a debt of 200 million pounds, but if they are promoted to League One, which is the future Championship, they will most likely have to rent a stadium."

"Why?" the Russian was surprised.

"According to the new Championship League regulations, the team's home stadium must have a complete broadcasting camera and multimedia system. Currently, it is not visible at all in their home stadium."

“Also, the capacity is very limited.”

Abramovich nodded. "Then hurry up and talk to them again. If necessary, you can increase the offer. I am tired of this old Stamford Bridge."

After a pause, the Russian muttered, "Arsenal is building its own new stadium."

Compare!
The word flashed through Pini Zahavi's mind.

But it also fits his impression of Abramovich.

Pini Zahavi nodded in agreement immediately.

Abramovich sighed deeply, stood up from his seat again, took a deep look at the court, and turned and left.

He couldn't bear to watch it anymore!

In his heart, Ranieri had already been sentenced to death.

But so far, he has not been able to find a head coach that he can trust.

Including Eriksson from the England national team.

How can anyone believe that a guy who can't even control his own crotch can manage a team full of star players?

As for the Bayswater Chinese…

Damn, after all, the money they used to solve the debt crisis came from Abramovich's pocket.

At this moment, watching the opponents score twice on the field, the Russians felt annoyed as if they were shooting themselves in the foot.

……

The second half of the game was very intense.

Ranieri decisively replaced two players during the half-time break.

One is to replace Hasselbaink with Crespo to strengthen the team's frontcourt attacking firepower.

The other was replacing Joe Cole with Duff.

Glenshall was moved to the right and Duff appeared on the left.

Raniere used the faster and more powerful Duff to attack the aging Jenkins' side.

At the beginning of the second half, Bayswater Chinese began to come under pressure on the right.

Duff's continuous impact made the aging Jenkins pale in comparison.

The full-back Babayaro also became active.

The left wing immediately became the source of Chelsea's attack.

In the 56th minute, Duff dribbled past Jenkins on the left and made a cross in front of the goal. Crespo headed the ball in front of the goal and scored a goal for Chelsea.

1 is better than 2!

This goal ignited Chelsea's hope of equalizing the score. Yang Cheng made a decisive substitution.

Lee Williamson replaced the goal scorer Martin Devaney.

After the substitution, Modric was moved to the right, with Lee Williamson and Martin Roland guarding Huddlestone together.

At this time, the Bayswater Chinese were no longer 433.

A bit like 4321.

Ribery and Modric both moved in the flank area behind the center forward.

The team's tactics are no longer to press forward like before, but to adopt a more compact defensive tactics.

To be honest, Yang Cheng had no idea how much of a threat this tactic could pose.

But this is the most certain way he can think of to defeat Chelsea.

Every minute after the game was torture for Yang Cheng.

He stood on the sidelines, watching every move on the court intently.

After Chelsea made substitutions, especially after scoring a goal, the situation on the field changed drastically.

Duff and Glenjordans on the two wings became the source of Chelsea's attack, constantly planning offensives.

The Chinese in Bayswater were oppressed in a very miserable state.

There are dangers all around the door.

Fortunately, Koscielny and Roger Johnson were both focused.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart also made several high-level saves in front of the goal, making Chelsea's attacks futile again and again.

In the 75th minute, Ranieri used up his last substitution.

Replaced Grunsjær with Gudjohnson.

Mutu was moved to the left and Duff was moved to the right.

The double striker combination became Crespo and Gudjohnson.

But at this point in the game, Yang Cheng became even more confident.

In the 78th minute, Yang Cheng replaced veteran Jenkins with Kevin Fury.

In the 83rd minute, the Chinese players of Bayswater intercepted the ball in the middle and quickly launched a counterattack.

Modric took the ball, got rid of Makelele's entanglement, and transferred the ball to the left rib.

Ribery dribbled the ball forward at high speed, and after forcing his way past Melchiot, he was entangled by Terry and fell to the ground, shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

The subsequent corner kick resulted in a shot, but Koscielny headed the ball high.

But this counterattack still made everyone in Chelsea break out in a cold sweat.

The Chinese in Bayswater are becoming more and more confident as the game goes on.

Chelsea, on the other hand, is becoming more and more impatient.

As the situation changed, the Blues were unable to break through the goal of the Bayswater Chinese again in the end.

……

"Referee Alan Willey blew the whistle to end the game."

"1 to 2!"

"Bayswater Chinese beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge!"

"Unhappy! This is definitely a big upset!"

"Although we have always said that the FA Cup is a hotbed of upsets, who would have thought that Chelsea, a team full of stars, would be defeated by a team from English League Two at home?"

"Claudio Ranieri's team has suffered another heavy blow."

"This is the second time they have suffered a painful blow in the past week."

“It cost them the Premier League lead last time out and now they’ve been knocked out of the FA Cup.”

……

The moment the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Yang Cheng, Brian Kidd and others rushed into the court.

The surrounding players also entered the field and celebrated with the players on the field.

2 is better than 1!

They beat Chelsea unexpectedly!

This is simply unbelievable!
In the stands, the 5,000 Bayswater Chinese fans did not have an advantage in terms of numbers.

But they formed a huge momentum on the field, supporting and praising the players on the field.

Surrounded by players, Yang Cheng was undoubtedly the most excited.

Defeating Chelsea was not only a satisfying revenge for him, but also a rare proof!

At this moment, he knew better than anyone that Ranieri's dismissal was not unjust.

Perhaps it is unfair to say this to a good man like Ranieri.

But professional football will never show mercy to you just because you are honest.

Ranieri no longer has the ability to further transform Chelsea.

After spending so much money and spending so many years, the Chelsea he built is still based on the traditional English tactical system of using wing planning to drive central attack.

But what about continental Europe?
Or in other words, what is the future development trend of the Premier League?
All are reforming.

Every team, from Manchester United to Arsenal to Liverpool, is changing.

They need to fully absorb the advanced technical and tactical concepts of the European continent and use central planning to drive flank attacks.

And this game is exactly what Yang Cheng wants to prove to Brian Kidd.

He and his Bayswater Chinese will definitely be able to bring Brian Kidd the football that the English want and pursue.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng turned and looked at Brian Kidd.

The old English man was obviously overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear, holding Ribery, hugging Modric, and putting his hand on Martin Roland's shoulder...

Apparently, Brian Kidd believed it!

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