I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 272 A crazy game! Crazy transfers! Championship battle! He finally got it! [Subscribe]

Wednesday 1 January, Prudential Arena, London.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese will face Fulham at home.

When the game entered the 52nd minute of the second half, the Chinese from Bayswater, who had been unable to break through the defense for a long time, were quickly counterattacked by Fulham.

The stylish Berbatov assisted Duff to get forward between Luke Shaw and Jose Fonte. After successfully getting past the offside, he broke into the penalty area and scored a goal, opening the scoring for Fulham.

1 is better than 0!

The entire Prudential Stadium was in an uproar.

Yang Cheng did not stand on the sidelines today, but sat in the coaching seat.

He has had a cold for two days!

Speaking of which, my luck is a bit bad.

Just yesterday afternoon, when the team was training, he accidentally got caught in the rain and started having a fever in the evening.

The fever has gone down now, but I still feel dizzy and sleepy, and I can't think at all.

Moreover, my whole body was sore and I had no strength at all, so naturally I couldn't stand on the sidelines and direct the game.

On-the-spot command and other matters were basically left to Brian Kidd.

In this game, Bayswater Chinese also made intensive rotations.

Because the next round, which is the 22nd round, is a very critical round.

Bayswater Chinese will play Tottenham at home, Manchester United will play Liverpool at home, and Arsenal will play Manchester City at home.

Three powerful dialogues have attracted global attention in this round!
Yang Cheng happened to fall ill at such an important moment.

It feels really bad!
Brian Kidd was sitting nearby and saw Yang Cheng holding his forehead with his right hand and supporting his knees with his elbows. The pack of tissues next to him had been mostly used up. He was wrapped in a thick down jacket, but still didn't feel warm at all.

That's what happens with colds.

It's no big deal, just annoying.

I can't think of anything at all!
"We need to intensify our attack now!" Yang Cheng said after taking a deep breath through the mask.

After saying this, he felt short of breath again.

But no matter what, he never wants to see his team lose at home.

Before the game, everyone in Bayswater Chinese knew that Yang Cheng was ill.

It's really hard to get used to the lack of a head coach directing the team on the sidelines.

"Who to replace?" Brian Kidd asked with concern.

Yang Cheng couldn't think of anything at all now. After his nose was blocked, his mind was empty.

But years of coaching experience have taught him that there is a simplest, most direct and most brutal way.

"Send up the two best scorers in our team!"

After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he took another deep breath.

The air in London in January is icy cold, but after breathing it in, it doesn't feel refreshing at all. Instead, it makes me feel like every joint in my body is sore.

This damn cold!

Fortunately, Brian Kidd had worked with him for many years and knew what he meant. He immediately walked to the bench and signaled Lewandowski and Gareth Bale to prepare to come on as substitutes.

The players quickly came back after warming up, stood in front of the coaching seat, and looked at Yang Cheng at a distance.

Yang Cheng pointed two fingers at them and motioned them to hurry up.

Both of them understood and walked to the sidelines, ready to replace Javi Martinez and Sterling.

Yang Cheng’s meaning was very clear, score at least 2 goals.

In other words, it must be reversed!

But this time, he didn't dare to play with three defenders.

On the one hand, Fulham's head coach is Dutchman Martin Jol.

It is well known throughout the world that the Dutch are best at playing offensive tactics as wingers.

On the other hand, Fulham has former Manchester United player Richardson and former Liverpool veteran Riise on the left, and Duff on the right.

There are also tough guys like Berbatov in the frontcourt.

Although these players are relatively old, their strength should not be underestimated.

Playing with three defenders at this time is really seeking death!
……

As soon as Gareth Bale came on the pitch, he got the ball on the left and made a quick breakthrough.

Although he failed to pass the ball into the penalty area, it still caused warm cheers from the audience.

As Lewandowski ran back at a steady speed, he looked at Gareth Bale with some envy.

Although he is not English, as a fellow British player, Gareth Bale is well-loved by the local Chinese fans in Bayswater.

Major British media also like to report on him.

Those who are familiar with Gareth Bale know that the Welshman's playing style looks sharp, but in fact, in private, he is a relatively shy and introverted person.

how to say?

A bit like Messi from Barcelona.

This doesn't quite match his strong and sturdy physique.

But British fans like him more.

He was even labeled a thug in suits.

The implication is that off the court, he is a gentleman in a suit, but on the court, he turns into a thug.

This contrast in temperament makes many fans feel that he exudes a strong masculine charm.

Lewandowski did not receive such treatment.

Because he is from Poland!
The two of them have a good relationship in private, but they are just teammates who can cooperate well.

But both of them understand in their hearts that competition is inevitable.

This competition is not about the position on the field, but about who can become the top Chinese player in Bayswater!
Lewandowski is well aware that he is at a disadvantage.

Especially when he saw the British media and the whole country cheering for Bale when Gareth Bale caught up with him with 22 goals after the last round of games, the Polish center knew that he could not win no matter what.

But he worked even harder.

Since a tie means losing, let’s win this competition!

This made Lewandowski work harder on the court.

In the 68th minute, when De Bruyne got the ball near the right rib outside the penalty area, Lewandowski ran quickly.

He knew that De Bruyne was best at diagonal passes.

So he deliberately ran out to answer it.

He knew that De Bruyne must be able to see his movement.

And the facts also prove that De Bruyne really saw it!

When the Belgian midfielder made a diagonal pass accurately to the right side of the small penalty area in the frontcourt, Lewandowski quickly moved forward behind Fulham central defender Hangeland and turned around to shoot without stopping the ball.

The shot was very clever, it went along the grass and went into Fulham's goal between goalkeeper Schwarzer's legs.

1 is better than 1!

draw!

The entire Prudential Arena was cheering Lewandowski's name!
The Pole excitedly turned around and rushed out of the stadium, running all the way to the sidelines, waving his arms at the fans and venting his inner excitement.

Subsequently, the Chinese in Bayswater continued to intensify their attack.

Whether it was Gareth Bale on the left, Lewandowski in the middle, or Giroud, they were all trying hard to help the team reverse the score.

Fulham were forced to retreat and defend.

In the 72nd minute, Martin Jol replaced two players in a row, both of whom were offensive players in the frontcourt, to strengthen the midfield and defense.

But the Chinese in Bayswater kept pressing forward and creating opportunities.

In the 88th minute, after a long attack, Pogba stopped the ball with his back to the goal on the left side of the midfield, turned to the left, and sent a ball behind him.

Gareth Bale quickly moved forward, kicked the ball to the bottom line, and quickly broke through Fulham's defense line at lightning speed. On the left side of the penalty area, facing the defender, he sent a cross with his left foot.

The cross was not sent very high, but was sent to the half-height position in front.

After Lewandowski shook off Hangeland, he leaned forward and headed the ball directly into the goal from Gareth Bale's cross.

2 is better than 1!

Scored twice!

Lewandowski excitedly rushed to the left side of the field and hugged Gareth Bale.

They are having competition.

But it’s healthy competition!
They all know that the interests of the team are the most important!
……

February 1, noon, Prudential Arena, London.

In the 22th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Tottenham Hotspur at home.

When the game reached the 78th minute, the score was still 0-0.

When Hazard got the ball outside the left corner of the penalty area, he dribbled past Norton who was defending him and sent the ball to Lewandowski's feet in the penalty area.

The Polish center forward turned his back to the direction of attack, held up Mike Dawson with his body, then turned around and dribbled the ball sideways.

But the two central defenders Mike Dawson and Vertonghen maintained their positions very carefully and worked together to block all of Lewandowski's shooting angles.

This made the Polish center feel a little helpless.

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye he saw Gareth Bale running quickly from the right and raising his hand to ask for the ball.

Lewandowski acted decisively, continued dribbling the ball horizontally, and used his body to interfere with Mike Dawson and Vertonghen.

When the Pole reached the right side of the arc, Lewandowski took the lead and sent a return pass.

Gareth Bale ran from right to left along the penalty area line, and when he reached the right side of the arc, he just caught up with Lewandowski's pass.

The Welshman strode forward with his left foot.

Tottenham's Brazilian midfielder Sandro quickly stepped forward to intercept and reached out to push Gareth Bale on the right shoulder.

But this push failed to push Gareth Bale away.

The Welshman didn't even lose his pace or balance, but continued to sprint forward.

Before Dembele rushed over to intercept, Gareth Bale suddenly shot with his left foot at the bottom center of the arc.

A bang was heard at the scene.

Everyone saw that the Welshman jumped up because he put all his strength into the shot.

But the football was like a cannonball, and it went into the upper left corner of Tottenham Hotspur's goal at lightning speed.

This is an absolute dead end!

Although goalkeeper Friedel made a save, there was no way he could save the ball.

1 is better than 0!

In the entire Prudential Arena, 9 fans rushed out of their seats in an instant.

Each of them was cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs.

Especially when Gareth Bale and his teammates rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, they felt the enthusiasm of the fans at close range.

This is a world-class kick!

From Gareth Bale, a wonderful world wave after cutting in from the right!
Throughout the game, the performance of the Bayswater Chinese was not ideal.

But at the last minute, thanks to Gareth Bale's world-class goal, the team took the lead!

However, Boas' team ultimately failed to turn the situation around and was forced to return home in defeat away from home.

1 is better than 0!

Bayswater Chinese defeated Tottenham Hotspur at home!

……

The strong dialogue in the 22nd round of the Premier League made fans all over the world excited.

The match between Bayswater Chinese and Tottenham is scheduled at 12:45 noon, which is the earliest game of this round.

Yang Cheng's team is in the adjustment stage, and the team has been fighting on multiple fronts.

After the Christmas schedule, there is still no rest, which has a great impact on the Chinese in Bayswater.

Although Tottenham is playing away, they are conserving their energy.

The two sides played very fiercely, but in the end the home team broke through Tottenham's goal with Bale's world-class shot.

This also won Bale applause after the game.

But the processes of the other two games were completely different.

Manchester United faced the Red Devils at home, and Cavani scored a goal for Manchester United in the 19th minute.

Afterwards, both sides played fiercely, but Liverpool could not do anything to Manchester United.

On the contrary, in the 52nd minute of the second half, Vidic scored again against Liverpool with a corner kick.

But just five minutes later, Sturridge scored a goal for Liverpool.

Liverpool went into a frenzy.

In the last half hour, Liverpool was dominating Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Unfortunately, the Red Army was ultimately unable to reverse the situation again.

2-1, Manchester United beat Liverpool at home!
The last game of this round is Arsenal playing against Manchester City at home.

The match was controversial from the start.

Just 9 minutes into the game, Arsenal center back Koscielny hugged Ibrahimovic from the side and behind while defending him.

Referee Mike Dean directly showed a red card and a penalty kick.

This caused strong dissatisfaction among Arsenal players and fans.

Just 9 minutes into the game and a penalty was awarded?

Koscielny also protested, believing that his foul was outside the penalty area and that he should not be awarded a penalty.

A yellow card plus a free kick in the frontcourt is the most appropriate.

But Mike Dean didn't listen at all and still awarded a penalty and a red card.

What’s funny is that Ibrahimovic actually missed the penalty.

This is a bit unbearable.

However, with one man missing, Arsenal was in a very passive situation.

Manchester City launched continuous attacks, and soon Kaka and Ibrahimovic each scored a goal.

But in the 75th minute, Kompany also committed a foul in front of the penalty area and was sent off directly with a red card.

Manchester City was also very angry about the red card, believing it was completely false.

In the end, the game ended in a very dramatic way.

Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-0 away.

But after the game, both Wenger and Ancelotti criticized the referee Mike Dean, believing that the referee had ruined a classic battle that attracted worldwide attention.

"The referee's enforcement level has become the biggest shortcoming of the Premier League!" Wenger said angrily.

The Arsenal manager believes his team did not lose to Manchester City but to Mike Dean.

But Manchester City head coach Ancelotti was also very dissatisfied, believing that Kompany's red card should not have existed at all.

"He was trying to find balance on purpose. I can't understand it. It was just a normal foul. A yellow card would have been enough. Why a red card?"

"The only explanation is that he doesn't want us to keep scoring goals!"

Both famous coaches were dissatisfied with the referee.

What else can Mike Dean say?
"I still insist that my judgment is correct!"

There is another even more interesting game, that is Chelsea's away game against Stoke City.

In fact, Benítez's team did not play any good performance throughout the game.

But the final result of the game was 3 to 0!

Do you think it’s outrageous?
That’s right, Yang Cheng also felt incredible when he saw the competition briefing.

With Chelsea struggling, Stoke City midfielder Walters resolutely helped Chelsea score a goal in the 47th minute of the first half, which was stoppage time.

In Walters, everyone felt the brilliance of humanitarian spirit in professional football.

That's it?

The great Mr. Walters felt that 1-0 was not safe enough and was worried that Chelsea would equalize the score, so in the 62nd minute of the second half, he once again demonstrated his selfless dedication and scored another goal for Chelsea, scoring twice!
I guess even Chelsea themselves find it unbelievable!
What is the relationship between Walters and Chelsea?
Just three minutes after the second own goal, former Chelsea player and Stoke City center back Robert Huth reached out and pulled down Falcao in the penalty area without much danger.

What a great humanitarian spirit this is!

Lampard took the penalty and scored in one go!

The Chelsea captain cannot let down the deep friendship from his former teammates!
What's more, this goal was his 194th goal for Chelsea. After scoring it, he surpassed Kerry Dixon and became the second highest scorer in Chelsea's history.

Dear readers, if you think the game is over, you are underestimating the level of our Premier League team.

In the 90th minute, Terry tripped Walters in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty by the referee.

As a result, Walters understood the bigger picture and would never accept a gift given out of pity, so he kicked the penalty kick away without hesitation.

Humph, who cares about your penalty kick!

joke!

I'm a man who's going to perform a hat trick!
In the end, this Premier League match, which originally attracted little attention from the outside world, ended with such a wonderful plot.

Fans all over the world were shocked.

Reality is indeed crazier than fiction!

Even a match like Chelsea playing Stoke City can happen?

Such an exciting matchup, with all kinds of news coming out both inside and outside the stadium, directly made the media and fans all over the world hype it up over and over again like a holiday.

Some people even suspected that Walters was gambling on the game.

Stoke City head coach Tony Pulis came out to clarify and said he still believed in Walters.

"Yes, he had bad luck, scored two own goals and missed a penalty, but I would say he was still one of the best players on the pitch for our team!"

"I can't be too hard on a player like that."

……

When Yang Cheng saw the briefing, he felt both amused and annoyed.

As Tony Pulis said, Walters is just unlucky!
But after this round of games, the top three in the Premier League has basically been determined.

Bayswater Chinese, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Wenger has countless reasons to defend his players, but their performance in strong dialogues this season is indeed a bit lacking, which is probably related to the technical style of their team.

"From the perspective of the lineup alone, Wenger's team does not have much advantage over Manchester City right now."

"Against Manchester United, Ferguson is the deciding factor."

Brian Kidd felt some sympathy for Wenger.

Arsenal’s current lineup is indeed not bad, but the defense is still relatively poor.

Manchester United has Vidic, Ferdinand and David Luiz, while Manchester City also has stars such as Chiellini, Jerome Boateng and Kompany.

Only Arsenal's defense is indeed a little lacking.

Koscielny, Zielinski, Vermaelen and Mertesacker are indeed slightly inferior to the above-mentioned stars.

"The next step is the Africa Cup of Nations. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all have African internationals to call up. This will have some impact, especially on Alexander Song."

Although Toularan is in charge, Alexander Song's performance at Arsenal is really very good. He firmly occupies the main position and can attack, defend, pass and organize.

This reminded Yang Cheng of the time when he joined Barcelona in his previous life.

I can only say that the climate and soil in Barcelona are not suitable for supporting people.

As for the African Cup national team players, Yang Cheng's team does not have a single African player now.

"Manchester United and Manchester City are chasing us very fiercely now. We will be under great pressure in the next games, so in the next two weeks, we must seize the time, prepare physical fitness and adjust the players' condition."

After Yang Cheng recovered from his cold, he felt more energetic and clear-headed. Since they did not make it to the League Cup semi-finals and did not need to make up the third round of the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese will play one game a week from now on.

The 12nd round of the Premier League was played on the 22th.

On the 19th, they played the 23rd round of the Premier League, away against West Ham United.

On the 26th, we will play the FA Cup away against West Bromwich Albion.

On the 29th, we will play the 24th round of the Premier League, at home against Manchester City.

On February 2, we will play the 2th round of the Premier League at home against Norwich.

Just as Yang Cheng said, we must make adjustments quickly within these two weeks.

In this way, the Chinese in Bayswater will be able to cope with the upcoming schedule and the Champions League in February more easily.

The good thing for Bayswater Chinese is that, except for the away game against Liverpool in the 38th round, all the games, whether against Manchester City, Manchester United or Arsenal, will be at home!
Of course, the schedule is relatively fair.

Now there are so many home games for strong teams, which means that all the strong games between Bayswater Chinese in the first half will be away games.

"Brian, tell Thad and Oliver that I gave him two weeks, which should be enough!"

Yang Cheng does not plan to play as a main player in the match against West Ham United or in the FA Cup.

In this way, many players in the team can get enough rest, while also stimulating their physical fitness and recharging themselves.

If we keep playing like this, how are we going to get through the next two and three months?
……

As time entered the winter transfer break, major British media outlets became active.

Between the 22nd and 23rd rounds, the Sun, which has always been famous for transfer rumors, was the first to break a bombshell.

Real Madrid invites Manchester City head coach Ancelotti to coach in La Liga!

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue!
All Manchester City fans were very surprised.

But the next piece of news made them all accept it happily.

The Sun also broke the news that after Ancelotti went to Real Madrid, Guardiola, who is currently unemployed at home, will take over Manchester City this summer.

The Sun revealed that just before Christmas last year, Manchester City chairman Mubarak, general manager Ferran Soriano and technical director Begiristain traveled to New York, USA, to meet Guardiola who was on vacation in the United States.

In early January this year, Guardiola, accompanied by Mubarak, appeared in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and met Mansour, which finally confirmed that Guardiola will officially coach Manchester City!
Not only that, in order to attract top coaches like Guardiola, Mansour personally promised to give a transfer fee of 2.5 million pounds.

"Even if Guardiola needs it, the Abu Dhabi consortium can continue to add more!"

This undoubtedly means there is no upper limit on the transfer fee!
The Sun revealed that after Guardiola took over as coach of Manchester City, the first person he wanted to sign was superstar Messi!
When everyone hears the news, their first reaction is: Impossible!

Yes, how could Barcelona let Messi go?
But The Sun revealed that Manchester City is willing to pay Messi's buyout clause of 2 million pounds!
That’s 2.5 million euros!
Not only that, Manchester City will also offer Messi an eight-year contract with a weekly salary of up to 8 pounds.

In addition, a commission of 1500 million pounds will be paid to Messi's father and agent!

After seeing the various terms listed by The Sun, everyone realized clearly that what was impossible?

A weekly salary of 35 pounds is twice Messi's annual salary at Barcelona.

As for paying the buyout fee, does this require Barcelona’s consent?
As long as Messi is willing to transfer, he can leave immediately!
The transfer fee of 2 million pounds is outrageous, but that's Messi!
This is definitely a crazy transfer!

At first, everyone thought that this was absolutely impossible.

But what is strange is that Manchester City did not make any clarification to the public, and Guardiola, Ancelotti and others did not make any clarification to the public either.

Messi remained silent.

Only Barcelona president Rosell angrily accused Manchester City in front of the media.

"They are like a bunch of barbaric robbers!"

"They just poached our youth training director and team doctor, and now they want to poach Messi. This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Rosell said UEFA should investigate Manchester City's financial situation.

"I don't believe they have so much money to invest in transfers. It doesn't make sense!"

But UEFA also remained silent on this.

Because they had investigated before and found out that Manchester City's funds came from financing.

Could it be that UEFA still refuses to allow clubs to raise funds?
Russell's remarks undoubtedly further confirmed the news in The Sun and also caused crazy hype among major media.

Soriano and Begiristain are old friends of Guardiola when he was coaching Barcelona.

Now, Barcelona's former youth training director Alesanko and team doctor Pruna have come to Manchester City.

It can be said that the entire management and logistics team of Manchester City now basically come from Barcelona.

In the words of The Sun, "Manchester City has cleared the obstacles and paved the way for Guardiola's coaching!"

Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge, Guardiola and Messi land in the Premier League...

Such explosive news quickly spread around the world.

Guardiola did not respond to the rumors about himself.

On the contrary, Mourinho came out to clarify, saying that the rumors about him coaching Chelsea were groundless.

“I haven’t made a final decision yet.”

Mourinho welcomed the possibility of Guardiola coaching Manchester City.

"It was his choice. I don't know if he deliberately chose to play in the same league as me."

“Yes, there is no communication between us.”

"But I am sure that when the two of us meet, it will be wonderful!"

Mourinho said he missed the Premier League very much.

"I think the Premier League is a better league than La Liga."

"It's even harder to play in the Premier League. Some of the strong matches are even at the level of the Champions League final. It's very difficult!"

"But in La Liga, it's relatively easier, except for the national derby!"

Mourinho, who had already fallen out with the Spanish media, was obviously not afraid of being stepped on again.

This also attracted crazy accusations from the Spanish media, who believed that Mourinho's remarks were irresponsible.

But Mourinho clarified that he was just commenting on the differences between the two leagues, and that it was a fact.

"I have always said that I will return to the Premier League sooner or later. For me, it is the best league in the world!"

"I miss Yang Cheng, Ferguson and Wenger."

"Now, I look forward to Guardiola!"

Mourinho was almost killed by the Spanish media's saliva.

But this is the Portuguese madman!
……

December 1, the 19th round of the Premier League.

Liverpool beat Norwich 4-0 at home.

Mancini's team successfully emerged from the shadow of the defeat in the Manchester derby.

Manchester City beat Fulham 2-0 at home thanks to David Silva's double.

Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 away from home.

Both teams have been affected by the African Cup, but Chelsea's situation is obviously more serious.

Players such as Benatia, Eto'o and Mikel have all been called up to play in the African Cup.

In the end, Arsenal won 2-1 away.

Manchester United won well in the last round, and this round they drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur away from home.

Ferguson's team took a 1-0 lead in the first half thanks to Cavani's goal.

But in the third minute of stoppage time, Dempsey's goal helped Tottenham equalize the score.

Yang Cheng's team played with a substitute lineup and drew 1-1 with West Ham United away from home.

Giroud scored in the 14th minute of the first half.

After that, the team always had the advantage.

But in the 68th minute, Joe Cole equalized the score for West Ham United.

In the end, no matter how the Bayswater Chinese attacked, they were unable to score again.

1-1, both sides shook hands and made peace.

After 23 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese has 19 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and has 60 points, ranking first.

Manchester City has caught up with Manchester United, and both teams have 56 points.

The Blue Moon relied on the advantage of goal difference to surpass Manchester United and become the second in the league.

Arsenal is in third place with 49 points.

Liverpool is in 46th place with 5 points.

From the current perspective, the battle for the top four in the league is still a battle between Arsenal and Liverpool.

Bayswater Chinese, Manchester United and Manchester City are making their final sprint for the championship!

……

On the afternoon of January 1, in the 26th round of the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese challenged West Bromwich Albion away.

When the game reached the 74th minute, the score between the two sides was still 0-0.

Bayswater Chinese did not send all their main players for this game.

Yang Cheng will still use substitutes and young players to play in the FA Cup, leaving all the main players to prepare for the home game against Manchester City next Wednesday.

But since the start of the game, Bayswater Chinese have been in the dominant position but unable to score.

The forward line led by Giroud found it difficult to break through West Bromwich's defense.

On the other hand, the forward line of the Baggies, led by Lukaku, was also unable to pose a threat to the Chinese in Bayswater.

The game remained at a stalemate.

But in the 74th minute, midfielder Paul Pogba received the ball with his back to the direction of attack.

While receiving the ball, Pogba made an obvious fake move to turn to the left, but actually suddenly pushed the ball to the right and passed it to Aaron Ramsey.

After passing the ball, he quickly moves forward.

Aaron Ramsey understood and passed the ball back.

The young French player kicked the ball forward and rushed forward with all his might.

West Bromwich Albion's two central midfielders are George Thorne, who is 1 meters tall, and Scotsman James Morrison.

As soon as the two saw Pogba rushing towards them with the ball, they immediately ran over to intercept him.

Especially George Thorne.

The tall and strong English midfielder seems to have the momentum to crush his opponents with his powerful body.

If it doesn't work, isn't there James Morrison helping out next to him?
But the next moment, they realized that they had run into a tough opponent.

Pogba was seen rushing forward with the ball, and suddenly when George Thorne approached, he flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, barely avoiding George Thorne's attempt to grab the ball, then he dribbled the ball back with his right foot and moved forward with his left foot.

After skillfully pulling the ball with his left and right feet, he just shot out between the two defensive players of the Knickers.

George Thorne was no pushover either.

As an England defender, he is never shy in physical confrontations and is equally clear about committing fouls.

George Thorne immediately reached out, grabbed Pogba's jersey, and tried desperately to pull it back.

Just pull it and let it go, and stick your whole body on it.

It looked like a normal physical confrontation.

But what George Thorne never expected was that the plot did not follow his plan at all.

He grabbed Pogba's jersey, but the French midfielder was not stopped by him at all.

Moreover, the quality of Bayswater Chinese jerseys is so damn good!
George Thorne's random pull failed to pull Pogba down, and he himself lost his balance due to the Frenchman's rush.

After a stumble, he quickly let go of his hand.

If he didn't let go, he would really crawl forward.

When George Thorne looked at the back of the French midfielder who was disappearing into the distance with an expression of disbelief on his face, there was only one thought left in his mind.

"Where the hell did this monster come from?"

When Pogba rushed to the front of the arc, West Bromwich's defensive players had already been led deep into the penalty area by Giroud and Harry Kane.

After the French midfielder spotted the opportunity, he acted decisively and kicked the ball directly, launching a powerful long shot.

The ball flew out at an extremely fast speed and went into the Knickers' goal in the blink of an eye.

1 is better than 0!

"Paul Pogba scored a world-class goal!!"

"In the 75th minute, a long shot from outside the penalty area was brilliant!"

"Pogba finally showed his power!"

"We were just saying that Pogba is a player with physical strength, skills, confrontation and speed, and he can play a bigger role, but he is always a little short of the mark."

"Look at what happened just now. When the team was unable to break through, it was Pogba who stepped forward. He broke through the double-team of two defenders in the middle of the midfield and fired a long shot."

"He finally got it!"

"That's what we've been talking about."

"I have always liked Pogba very much, and their head coach Yang Cheng has always believed that Pogba has the ability to play a more important role."

"Now, he has not wasted the praise from head coach Yang Cheng!"

"1 to 0!"

"Pogba used a world-class goal to bring Bayswater Chinese into the FA Cup round of 16!"

……

After the game, Pogba was praised by many media and fans just as the Sky Sports commentator said.

This young midfielder is very comprehensive.

At the beginning, many people said that he looked like Yaya Toure.

But Yang Cheng did not train him as a defensive midfielder, but instead cultivated him as a central midfielder.

And he basically played as a left center midfielder, and even played as a left winger.

Pogba finally showed his talent at the critical moment this time!
At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng highly praised Pogba's performance.

"This is still a long way from the best Pogba in my mind. He needs to work harder!"

Yang Cheng smiled and gave encouragement.

Regarding Pogba's goal, Yang Cheng said, "He should remember this feeling."

"This feeling of making myself a more important player for the team!"

This is undoubtedly Yang Cheng's expectation for Pogba.

The French midfielder has also repeatedly stated that he will continue to work hard.

After the fourth round of the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool all advanced successfully.

This actually reflects the current situation of the Premier League.

When Bayswater Chinese perform so strongly, it is unlikely for many teams to compete for the league title.

Therefore, for them, the League Cup and FA Cup are undoubtedly very suitable choices.

At the very least, use a championship to boost the team's morale.

……

On the evening of April 1th, Prudential Arena, London.

In the 24th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese faced Manchester City at home.

Both teams have made sufficient preparations for such a strong dialogue.

And they all played with a full substitute lineup in the FA Cup last weekend.

Therefore, in this match at Prudential Arena, both teams sent out their main players.

But each other's targeted tactics were very well implemented.

Yaya Toure was not there, but Manchester City still used a 4321 formation.

This caused great trouble for the Chinese attack in Bayswater.

In addition, in the past two weeks, the Chinese players in Bayswater have been doing physical reserve and condition adjustment, resulting in the players' current condition not being particularly excited.

Therefore, the team's offensive efficiency was relatively low throughout the first half.

They were never able to break through Manchester City's defense.

Blue Moon isn't much better.

Ancelotti's thoughts can be seen from the fact that he arranged Aguero in the starting lineup, playing as the 4321 in the 1 formation.

He still wants to play defensive counterattack.

Ancelotti's strategy was very clear, which was to take advantage of the Chinese players in Bayswater's eagerness to score goals, focus on defense, and counterattack patiently.

And in the 69th minute, they were almost ambushed by Manchester City.

After a wonderful wall pass between David Silva and Aguero, Aguero broke into the left side of the penalty area and volleyed.

The shot was very threatening, but Courtois caught the ball firmly.

The Belgian goalkeeper was still very focused at the critical moment.

During the half-time break, Yang Cheng also asked the players to take more long shots in the hope of getting a good shot.

But in the end, none of them worked.

Joe Hart drew the card of concentration tonight and tomorrow.

In the 74th minute, Yang Cheng had to make the first substitution.

Hazard replaces Matic.

After going up, the Belgian winger played on the left, Gareth Bale rushed forward, forming a double striker formation with Lewandowski.

Walcott appeared on the right.

This is a signal for the team to step up its offense.

In the 79th minute, Hazard, who had just come on as a substitute for 5 minutes, received a pass from Toni Kroos on the left and faced Zabaleta one-on-one when he stopped the ball.

When Manchester City's right-back left the penalty area and chose to steal the ball, before he could get close, Hazard seized the opportunity, started decisively, and cut inside with the ball.

Zabaleta was startled and immediately responded.

But Hazard started quickly, and with deliberate planning, he immediately seized the opportunity and dribbled the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

Verratti rushed over to intercept, but Hazard made a sudden stop, started again, changed direction and went straight to the left side of the penalty area.

After shaking off Verratti, Hazard made a lob pass with his left foot from outside the left side of the penalty area.

Because he saw Kompany rushing out of the penalty area.

But the Belgian centre-back blocked Hazard's passing lane to Gareth Bale.

So, he chose Lewandowski in the middle.

Kompany raised his foot to intercept, but was a beat too late.

The ball fell from the left side of the penalty area to the front point on the left side of the small penalty area.

Just when everyone in Manchester City was surprised, Lewandowski suddenly rushed over from the right side of the penalty spot.

The Polish center forward is very accurate in judging the landing point of high balls and is always able to win headers.

He jumped up and headed the ball directly towards the goal towards Hazard's seemingly light pass.

After the ball was hit by Lewandowski's forehead, it immediately changed direction and went into the left side of Manchester City's goal.

Although Joe Hart dived sideways, he really had no good way to deal with such a close shot.

1 is better than 0!

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 79th minute, Lewandowski scored a goal at a crucial moment, giving Bayswater Chinese the lead!"

The Polish center turned excitedly and rushed off the court.

The 9 fans in the entire Prudential Arena were shouting his name at the top of their lungs!
