I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 277: Reach the finals again! Use strength to justify the reputation of the Premier League! Perform a hat trick at Camp Nou! [Subscribe]

After the game at the Bernabeu, the Chinese from Bayswater returned to London without stopping.

This weekend, Yang Cheng will lead the team to challenge Manchester City “away” at Wembley Stadium.

This is the FA Cup semi-final match.

On the one hand, they have been preparing carefully for a whole week, while on the other hand, they have to be distracted by the Champions League and have just played Real Madrid away.

Yang Cheng had to make rotations during the game.

The two sides fought hard for 35 minutes, and the score was still 0-0.

But in the 36th minute, Manchester City launched a quick counterattack. Aguero made a wonderful pass. When Kaka tried to pass it back to Aguero, he was intercepted by Pepe who returned to defense in time.

But the ball still fell to Kaka's feet.

The Brazilian's long shot from the edge of the penalty area penetrated the goal guarded by Courtois.

1 is better than 0!

This is actually still within Yang Cheng's acceptable range.

He had anticipated this situation before the game and was prepared for a counterattack in the second half.

But what really surprised him was that in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, during a corner kick opportunity, the Chinese player from Bayswater headed the ball away, but the ball fell to the periphery.

Gareth Barry passed the ball back into the penalty area.

As a result, the defenders focused on Kompany and others, but missed Aguero.

The Argentine headed the ball into the goal again from close range.

2 is better than 0!

Throughout the first half, Bayswater Chinese had a ball possession rate of 62.8% and had more shots than Manchester City.

The result was a two-goal deficit.

After the change of sides in the second half, the Chinese team in Bayswater began to press forward and attack.

Manchester City continued to adopt a defensive counterattack tactic.

Starting from the 60th minute, Yang Cheng made continuous substitutions.

Lewandowski and Gareth Bale appeared at the same time.

Just six minutes later, with a long pass from Javi Martinez, Lewandowski broke away from Jerome Boateng's defense in the penalty area and appeared on the left side of the penalty spot. After stopping the ball with his chest, he hooked the ball into Manchester City's goal.

1 is better than 2!

After scoring a goal, the Bayswater Chinese started to launch continuous attacks.

In the 71st minute, Hazard intercepted the ball from Zabaleta on the right side of the penalty area, dribbled inside to the left side of the top of the arc and made a straight pass.

Lewandowski quickly moved forward, shot and hit the goal again.

As a result, the linesman raised the flag and the referee blew the whistle, indicating that Lewandowski was offside and the goal was invalid.

According to the slow-motion replay, there was obvious controversy as to whether Lewandowski was offside.

This penalty gave Manchester City a chance to catch their breath.

Ancelotti acted decisively and replaced two players in a row to strengthen the defense.

Then, Manchester City began to shrink their defense.

The Bayswater Chinese completely dominated the remaining 20 minutes of the game, completely suppressed Manchester City and launched a fierce bombardment on the Blue Moon's goal.

But he just couldn't score again.

The best chance came in the 82nd minute, when Gareth Bale passed the ball and Lewandowski shot from the edge of the small penalty area, but was saved by goalkeeper Joe Hart.

In the 88th minute, Gareth Bale was closely marked by Kompany. When he stopped the ball and turned to enter the penalty area, he was tripped by Joe Hart in the penalty area.

The Bayswater Chinese protested that it should have been a penalty.

But the referee believed that Joe Hart touched the ball first when he attacked, so the protest was invalid.

From the slow-motion replay, he hit Gareth Bale first.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese lost 1-2 to Manchester City "away" in the FA Cup semi-finals!

The Blue Moon successfully reached the FA Cup final.

Another team that made it to the final was Chelsea.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng spoke up for his players.

"Our players were brought down many times on the pitch, especially in the opponent's penalty area."

"There were six referees on the field and no one saw it. It should have been a penalty!"

“This is a very bad thing!”

Yang Cheng strongly suggested that the Premier League should start video refereeing.

"If there was a video referee, we should have reversed this game 3-2!"

Ancelotti said he did not see clearly whether Joe Hart tackled Gareth Bale, and could not accurately judge whether Lewandowski's goal was offside.

But he admitted one thing.

"We weren't in very good shape for this game!"

"Even though we were not facing the strongest Bayswater Chinese team, we still failed to gain an advantage."

Ancelotti said this was very bad.

"But anyway, we are in the FA Cup final and we are working hard towards the championship!"

……

Because of the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese's 33rd round of the Premier League was postponed to midweek.

In this round, Bayswater Chinese travelled north to Liverpool to challenge Everton away.

In the case of continuous fighting, Yang Cheng once again made appropriate rotations.

Just two minutes into the game, Gareth Bale scored the first goal for Bayswater Chinese.

But before the end of the first half, Everton managed to equalize the score, the goal was scored by Pienaar.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Lewandowski, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal, increasing the score again.

This was also the last goal of the entire game.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Everton 2-1 away.

In other matches in this round, Arsenal beat Norwich 3-1 at home.

Liverpool beat Reading 1-0 away.

Manchester United beat Stoke City 2-0 away.

Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at home.

Only Chelsea drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Although the Blues have introduced a number of strong players, they still lack competitiveness overall.

……

After finishing the 4rd round of the Premier League on April 17, the Chinese team in Bayswater began to fully prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Because the game is held on April 4rd.

There are only 6 days left.

For Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater, the next six days will undoubtedly be very precious.

Yang Cheng even rejected Lewandowski's application to participate in the weekend Premier League.

He required all team members to devote 200 percent of their attention to the preparations for the next game.

In the 34th round of the Premier League at the weekend, the Bayswater Chinese played with all substitutes and a rotation lineup.

Stoke City sent out all their main players and faced off against the away team with a score of 442--.

This is a typical English tactic.

The home team fought hard until the 44th minute, when Kyle Walker scored a long shot into Stoke City's goal.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Giroud's goal basically secured the victory.

But in the 74th and 87th minutes of the second half, Bayswater Chinese conceded two goals in a row.

Crouch, the center forward who came on as a substitute, performed very well, making an assist and a shot, helping Stoke City equalize the score.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese drew 2-2 with Stoke City at home.

Throughout the game, the Chinese players in Bayswater did not play well.

Especially in the second half.

After Crouch came on, neither Jose Fonte nor Stones had a good way to limit the center forward.

In the end, the tall Englishman played a role.

Yang Cheng had no way to deal with this.

Since all the team's resources and energy were invested in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Yang Cheng could accept a draw at home.

The British media and fans did not give much comment on the draw with the Chinese in Bayswater.

In fact, not many people cared whether this game could be won.

Bayswater Chinese now maintains a leading advantage in the standings. As long as they can win the championship in the end, it doesn’t matter whether they win or lose.

The most important thing right now is the Champions League!
……

On the evening of April 4th, Prudential Arena, London.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Bayswater Chinese will face Barcelona at home.

The moment the whistleblower from Hungary blew the whistle to start the game, Barcelona's Messi and Neymar kicked off first.

But Barcelona did not pass the ball back to the defense.

When it reached Xavi, it was immediately passed back to Messi in the frontcourt.

When the Argentine wanted to attack forward with the ball, he found that three midfielders of Bayswater Chinese, led by Matic, had surrounded him.

This was like a bucket of cold water poured over Messi's idea, which was just about to start.

He had to stop near the center circle in the frontcourt and pass the ball back again.

He knew that he could not dribble the ball through the midfield three of Matic, Modric and Toni Kroos on his own.

After passing the ball back, the Chinese players in Bayswater continued to press forward.

Especially the three midfielders.

When Messi saw the overall formation of the Chinese in Bayswater pressing forward, especially the three midfielders, who seemed to ignore him and pressed forward quickly, he was a little surprised.

Were the tactics of the Bayswater Chinese so aggressive tonight?

The next moment, the Argentine quickly turned around and ran back.

He needs to go back and receive the ball from his midfield.

But at this time, the Chinese in Bayswater seemed to want to move the ball-grabbing area to Barcelona's half.

This made the Barcelona players feel very uncomfortable.

Because they all know very well what kind of defense their team has.

Can Barcelona's defense stop the front trident of Hazard, Lewandowski and Gareth Bale?

Lewandowski and Gareth Bale are both the top attackers in European football this season!

The three midfielders of Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta also realized this.

Therefore, after the opening, the distance between Barcelona's midfield and defense line was kept relatively close.

But doing so actually boosted the Bayswater Chinese's pressing momentum in the front court.

What was even more difficult for everyone in Barcelona to accept was that just 4 minutes and 27 seconds into the first half, the Chinese players in Bayswater launched an attack on the right.

Modric quickly moved forward and after receiving the pass from Gareth Bale on the flank, he appeared on the right side outside the penalty area.

This was the instruction from Yang Cheng.

The focus of Bayswater Chinese's attack in this game was on the flanks, and the focus was on the flanks of the penalty area.

As soon as Modric received the ball, he was followed by Alba and was forced to stop and pass the ball back to Piszczek who was coming up from behind.

At this time, Neymar in front did not retreat, but Iniesta in the midfield came back.

When Piszczek received the ball close to the right sideline, he glanced forward and lightly kicked it with his right foot seemingly casually.

The ball was directly picked over Iniesta and landed on the right side outside the top of the penalty area.

At almost the same time, Lewandowski quickly ran over from the bottom of the arc to receive the ball.

Gareth Bale started quickly and made a diagonal run to the right side of the penalty area.

The connection between Piszczek and Lewandowski has always been a very important offensive channel for the Chinese at Bayswater.

The two teammates in the national team have a very good understanding of each other.

Piszczek's lob pass was obviously not intended for Lewandowski to stop the ball.

So, after the Polish center forward chased over, he saw Gareth Bale making a forward run and immediately headed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

But he knew Pique was nearby, so he didn't head the ball high, but instead headed the ball that bounced off the ground.

The ball fell just out of Pique's reach, and was on the path of Gareth Bale's forward run.

The Welsh player moved forward at the fastest speed, and after catching up, he first used his left foot to pass the ball in front of him after it bounced off the ground.

This immediately made it impossible for Pique to stop or disrupt it.

In the next step, Gareth Bale rushed to the right side outside the small penalty area, pretending to shoot or cross with his right foot.

This scared Pique so much that he didn't have time to think and he just fell to the ground to block.

He wanted to use his body to block the angle of Gareth Bale's cross and shot towards goal.

But what he never expected was that Gareth Bale had no intention of making any move, but instead directly kicked the ball back with his right foot, then moved aside, turned around, and gently kicked the ball sideways with his left foot.

This just happened to avoid Pique who was lying on the grass.

Busquets was still behind Gareth Bale at this moment and didn't dare to make any moves.

At this time, another central defender Bartra flew over from the middle.

But after Gareth Bale adjusted the ball, he shot directly with his left foot.

The football flew towards the left side of Barcelona's goal at an extremely fast speed like a cannonball.

Goalkeeper Valdes reacted quickly and tried his best to save the ball.

But this shot happened right at the right corner of the small penalty area, which was very close.

Gareth Bale's shot was like thunder, the ball was so fast that it didn't give Valdes any time to react.

The football hits the net!

"The ball went in!!!"

“Just over 4 minutes into the game, the Bayswater Chinese played a very exciting offensive combination!”

"It was a plan from the right, Piszczek made a lob pass, Lewandowski took the ball in the air, headed the ball and made a very beautiful assist."

“Gareth Bale dribbled past Pique in the box and volleyed home with his left foot.

"1 to 0!"

The entire Prudential Arena erupted in thunderous cheers in an instant.

All the fans are venting their passion and shouting!
Just 4 minutes into the game and a goal was scored?

"We all say that the Bayswater Chinese are very good at attacking."

"And now, Yang Cheng's team has once again confirmed this."

"Barcelona's slow start was exposed again in this game. The difference is that Bayswater Chinese have enough offensive power to exploit Barcelona's shortcomings."

"It is worth noting that when facing Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, the Bayswater Chinese also scored a goal at the start of the game."

“That time was five minutes.”

"But this time, they only took more than four minutes."

"Barcelona players should pay attention. When the Chinese team from Bayswater played against Real Madrid, they scored two goals in the opening stage, and it happened within 8 minutes."

“They need to cheer up and stop the opening attack from the Bayswater Chinese at all costs!”

……

Yang Cheng stood in front of the home team's coaching seat on the sidelines, pacing back and forth.

After Gareth Bale scored, he still signaled the team to continue pressing forward.

He wants to limit Barcelona through suppression in the midfield!

Don’t forget, the victory in last season’s Champions League final!

Compared to a year ago, Barcelona is now one year older.

Puyol has even begun to fade out of the starting lineup, and the central defender was forced to promote young player Bartra.

More importantly, the head coach changed from Guardiola to Vilanova.

There was a saying before Guardiola was sacked.

Barcelona is so strong that they can win the championship even if they tie a dog to the coaching bench!
Even many media and fans in Catalonia think so.

But this is the biggest joke!

After Vilanova took over Barcelona, ​​the general direction was still to continue the tactical style of the Guardiola era, but in many details, he had to cater to the group of veterans in the team and had to make adjustments.

This has also led to Barcelona losing a lot now.

For example, in the first two Super Cups of the season, both teams were dominated by Mourinho's Real Madrid, which had not yet had internal strife.

This season in the Champions League, especially after entering the knockout stage, Barcelona has been stumbling.

The intensity of their pressing and oppression in the midfield and frontcourt, which they were best at in the past, has obviously weakened.

The stability of the entire team also weakened.

This has led to Barcelona's unstable performance in some strong matches this season.

At the very least, it is not as stable as it used to be.

And everyone knows that the causes of these problems have long been revealed by Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese.

That is the aging of Xavi and Iniesta.

When they can no longer provide as much running coverage as they did when they were young, problems will naturally arise in Barcelona's entire passing and controlling system.

Sharp attacks are all based on solid defense!
I believe that all the fans who have seen the demise of the Galaxy Battleship will not deny this.

Although Guardiola's Dream Team III does not have a top-notch configuration in the back line, they are able to suppress their opponents by relying on their tireless pressing and pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, as well as their exquisite passing and control of the ball.

This in itself is a defensive strategy.

As Cruyff once said, as long as you have a firm grasp on the ball, the opponent cannot score a goal.

But now, the players can no longer "spare no effort", the running distance has decreased, the passing and ball control are no longer sophisticated, and naturally, problems arise in defense.

If this is a team problem, then the biggest difference between the two head coaches after Vilanova replaced Guardiola lies in their understanding of Barcelona's ball control system and their relationship with the players.

The former determines that when Vilanova arranges the lineup, he cannot be like Guardiola, who always keeps the team's passing and controlling system smooth no matter how the lineup is adjusted.

The latter determines how many players are willing to play hard for Vilanova.

Especially after Vilanova was out sick.

No one expected that this head coach, who had a falling out with Guardiola last summer in order to take over Barcelona, ​​would be diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer after taking over Barcelona.

This is very unfortunate news, but it is indeed a painful blow to Barcelona.

At the same time, this also means that Vilanova will definitely not be able to focus on coaching.

Therefore, for this game, Yang Cheng played even more confidently than in the quarter-finals!
……

After conceding a goal at the start of the game, Barcelona did not follow Real Madrid's script.

Or rather, they lasted 10 minutes longer than Real Madrid.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Bayswater Chinese launched another attack.

Toni Kroos made a long diagonal pass from the left to the right.

Gareth Bale headed the ball to Lewandowski and then made a quick diagonal run.

Just as Lewandowski was about to pass the ball to Gareth Bale, Pique fouled Lewandowski on the right side of the center, 20 meters away from the goal.

Referee Kassai showed Pique a yellow card.

At the same time, it also gave Bayswater Chinese a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

This is Gareth Bale's favourite position. The Welshman duly set up the ball and stepped back, ready to take the penalty.

Everyone in Barcelona was looking at Gareth Bale as if he were a formidable enemy.

This is a man who can score two direct free kicks in a single game!
Gareth Bale took a quick run and quickly kicked out a precise butterfly ball with his left foot.

The football flew out at an extremely fast speed, climbed over the heads of the human wall, and flew towards the goal.

From Valdes' perspective, he was always paying attention to the path of the ball.

But the football made some irregular changes in mid-air, which led to his misjudgment.

And the ball speed is very fast.

It was so fast that Valdes didn't have any time to react.

The football went straight into the upper right corner of Barcelona's goal!

2 is better than 0!

"The ball is scored again!!"

"A direct free kick from Gareth Bale!"

"A precise free kick from 20 meters away from the goal. Gareth Bale has scored many goals with his superb free kicks this season!"

"The Chinese from Bayswater scored again in the 18th minute!"

All the fans in the stadium were cheering Gareth Bale's name at the top of their lungs.

The Welshman scored twice to help Bayswater Chinese establish a leading advantage.

Everyone knew that after taking a 2-goal lead, the home team had seized the advantage.

What surprised everyone even more was that after taking a 2-goal lead, the Bayswater Chinese continued to launch attacks.

Lewandowski, in particular, performed exceptionally hard.

Because he just wants to use this game to prove that he is not inferior to Messi!
……

Messi has made an emergency return since his previous thigh injury.

Although they scored a goal at one point, the overall performance was not satisfactory.

At least, in the league, he has not scored any goals so far.

In this game, the Chinese in Bayswater built a cage for Messi and covered the Argentine inside.

Whenever Messi gets the ball, he will be closely marked by the defensive players.

The Argentines' best scoring chance in the entire first half came in the 38th minute.

At that time, Barcelona launched a quick counterattack.

Alves made a straight pass while counterattacking from the right flank.

Messi quickly moved forward and broke into the right side of the penalty area.

But Thiago Silva returned to defense in time, and when defending Messi one-on-one, he made a precise tackle and cleared Messi's ball in the penalty area.

Afterwards, Messi was unable to gain any advantage when he faced Thiago Silva several times with the ball.

This led to Messi's poor performance and also frustrated Barcelona's offense.

After the change of sides in the second half, Barcelona launched a wave of attacks.

They all used Messi's ball to attract the defense's attention and Neymar launched a direct attack on the left.

But there was one time when Neymar failed to control the ball properly in the penalty area and was intercepted by Pepe who returned to defense in time.

Another time, his shot was too straight and hit Courtois directly in the arms.

After missing two offensive opportunities, Barcelona was quickly punished.

In the 74th minute, Hazard dribbled through the left, causing Alves to foul and winning the team a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

Alves also received a yellow card.

By this moment, Alves, Bartra, Pique and Alba had all received yellow cards.

Barcelona's entire defense line basically had yellow cards.

The free kick was taken 25 meters away from the goal and to the left, which was not suitable for Gareth Bale to shoot directly.

Modric and Toni Kroos were suitable candidates for taking the penalty, but after discussing, they did not choose to kick the ball directly.

Instead, he kicked the ball into Barcelona's penalty area.

It is well known to the whole world that one of Barcelona's weaknesses is their defense against high balls.

The players' physical shortcomings cause Barcelona to have big problems defending high balls.

When the ball was kicked into the left side of Barcelona's penalty area, Lewandowski quickly moved forward.

The Polish center sprinted with all his strength, shook off all the defensive players around him, then jumped high, headed the ball, and headed it to the right side of the goal.

Modric's free kick was touched by Lewandowski and went directly into the right side of Barcelona's goal.

3 is better than 0!

"The ball goes in again!!!"

"In the 74th minute of the second half, Bayswater Chinese scored another goal!"

"Lewandowski's header!"

"Oh my god, Bayswater Chinese are leading 3-0!"

"They've basically won this game."

"The next step is to see if Barcelona can score a goal away from home."

"If the score ends with 0-3, then we have every reason to believe that returning to Camp Nou, Barcelona's chances of a comeback are slim!"

And the facts also proved that even until the end of the game, Barcelona could not do anything to the goal of the Chinese in Bayswater.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Barcelona 3-0 at home with Gareth Bale's double and Lewandowski's goal!
……

After the Bayswater Chinese team defeated Barcelona 3-0 at home, it caused a strong earthquake in the entire European football world!

First, they shut out Real Madrid 7-0 in the two-leg aggregate, and now they shut out Barcelona 3-0 at home in the first leg.

"The Chinese in Bayswater are using their strength to restore the reputation of the Premier League!"

The Times proudly shouted in its front-page headline.

The Guardian also believed that "after slaughtering Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, Yang Cheng's team continued to advance triumphantly, beating Barcelona 8-3 at home and stepping one foot into the Champions League final!"

British media have been singing praises for the Chinese in Bayswater.

For them, the memories of the round of 16 knockout stage are dark.

After the round of 16, the Premier League was subjected to a barrage of criticism, sarcasm and ridicule.

But now, Yang Cheng and his team have used their strength to prove to everyone that not all Premier League teams are bad.

At the very least, the Chinese in Bayswater have completely trampled on Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two teams that are so proud of Spain and are known as the strongest in Europe.

Even, beat these two teams into mud!
However, after playing the Champions League in the middle of the week, returning to the 35th round of the Premier League at the weekend, Bayswater Chinese drew 0-0 with Reading away.

In this game, Yang Cheng still played with all substitutes and rotation lineup.

Among them, Lewandowski came on as a substitute in the second half.

But this time, the Polish center forward failed to score again.

In the same round, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Manchester United at home.

Manchester City beat West Ham United 2-1.

Liverpool beat Newcastle 2-0 away.

Chelsea beat Swansea 2-0 at home.

Despite suffering two consecutive draws, Bayswater Chinese has a record of 28 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, and has scored 90 points, ranking first in the pound list.

In second place is Manchester City.

The Blue Moon scored 85 points and ranked second in the Premier League.

Manchester United ranks third in the Premier League with 82 points.

However, in the next round, Bayswater Chinese will play against Arsenal at home.

Manchester United will face Chelsea at home.

Manchester City will challenge Swansea away.

Judging from the intensity of the game, Manchester City is under the least pressure.

But everyone knows that the Chinese from Bayswater are basically set to win the championship.

……

On the evening of May 5st, Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese will challenge Barcelona away.

Before this game, everyone already knew that Barcelona, ​​who lost 0-3 away in the first leg, had very slim chances of making a comeback.

But whether it is Vilanova, Barcelona players, or Catalan fans, they all insist that the team still has a chance.

Head coach Vilanova even made a bold statement in front of the media, vowing to turn the tables at home!

But after the game started, Barcelona's home advantage only lasted for 5 minutes.

Except for the first 5 minutes when Barcelona took the initiative in the game, for the rest of the time, the Chinese at Bayswater still insisted on using the tactics used in the first leg.

This caused Barcelona a lot of headaches, but they were helpless.

Yang Cheng’s tactics are an open conspiracy, and the aim is to suppress Barcelona.

The home team didn't have a good solution for this.

As long as the Chinese players at Bayswater do not make mistakes when executing tactics, Barcelona will be helpless against this style of play.

And in the 12th minute, Bayswater Chinese seized an opportunity in their own half.

When Barcelona attacked, Marcelo intercepted the ball from Pedro in time and passed it to Gareth Bale in front.

The latter passed the ball back to Toni Kroos and then suddenly jumped forward.

Toni Kroos also understood what he meant and made a long pass, kicking the ball forward.

Gareth Bale, who played as a left winger in this game, sprinted at an extremely fast speed and instantly got rid of all the defensive players. After catching up with Toni Kroos' long pass on the left, he kicked forward with force and chased after him at the fastest speed.

Except for Pique and Bartra who were at the end, all the Barcelona players were left behind.

When they reached the outskirts of Barcelona's penalty area, Bartra came up to defend, but Gareth Bale first slowed down to confuse Bartra, then suddenly accelerated, rushed into the penalty area with the ball to the left side, and passed the ball to the front of the goal with his left foot.

Lewandowski hurried all the way and finally arrived. He pushed the ball and sent it cleanly into Barcelona's goal.

1 is better than 0!

After scoring the goal, the Polish center forward turned and rushed off the court excitedly.

At this time, the Camp Nou stadium had become silent!
"Just 12 minutes into the game, Lewandowski's brutal goal completely destroyed Barcelona's hopes!"

"According to the Champions League knockout stage rules, the total score of Bayswater Chinese is now 4-0, but Barcelona conceded an away goal to the opponent. If they want to turn the tables, they must score at least 5 goals."

“This is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven!”

"Lewandowski's goal completely silenced the Camp Nou."

……

Despite conceding a goal and realizing that there was no hope of advancing, Barcelona continued to organize and plan their attacks.

Because this is Camp Nou!

For Barcelona, ​​losing 0-3 in the first leg away from home made it difficult for them to turn the situation around.

But in this game, they have to play for all the home teams present.

There are more than 9 fans!
No matter what the final result is, they want to win this game.

But when Barcelona held this mentality and continued to launch attacks on the Chinese in Bayswater, the Chinese in Bayswater were patiently waiting for opportunities.

When the game reached the 25th minute, there was another steal near the center line.

After the Bayswater Chinese successfully intercepted the ball, Matic tried to make a long pass to the frontcourt to find Lewandowski.

But the intention of this long pass was too obvious.

Pique was near the bottom of the center circle in his own half, went around Lewandowski and headed the ball back.

But Modric suddenly rushed forward, got ahead of Iniesta, stopped the ball with his chest, kicked the ball forward, brought it out of the center circle, and made a straight pass.

The ball was accurately passed to Lewandowski's feet outside the arc, between Barcelona's two central defenders.

After the Polish center forward blocked Bartra with his body, he followed Modric's straight pass and led the ball into the penalty area. He also took the opportunity to move forward and broke through between two Barcelona central defenders.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, Lewandowski shot directly with his right foot.

The ball hit the right side of Barcelona's goal again.

Goalkeeper Valdes tried hard to save the ball, but it was too late.

2 is better than 0!

"The ball is scored again!!"

"It's still Lewandowski who made a quick counterattack after stealing the ball!"

"The Polish center forward scored twice!"

"We can see that the tactics of the Bayswater Chinese are very clear now, which is to take advantage of Barcelona's mentality, wait patiently for opportunities, grab the ball, and then quickly launch a counterattack."

"I have to say that Yang Cheng really knows Barcelona very well."

"He was very aware of the weakness of Barcelona's defense, so the Chinese in Bayswater adopted a very targeted tactic."

……

In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Barcelona launched a smooth attack.

At one point, Yang Cheng was even forced to ask the players to retreat.

But before Barcelona could score, the first half of the game was over.

During the half-time break, Yang Cheng criticized the players for their carelessness in the final stages of the first half and asked everyone to cheer up.

After the second half, Barcelona showed their bayonets from the start.

Vilanova's team obviously hoped to take advantage of the momentum at the start to launch a wave of attacks, continue the offensive momentum before the end of the first half, try to equalize the score as soon as possible, or even reverse the opponent.

Advance to the finals?

Barcelona doesn’t dare to think about it now.

Their only wish is to win this game.

At the very least, we have to maintain a draw.

Besides, don’t they know how good Barcelona’s defense is?
If they don't push out to attack and rely on defense, can they hold on?
But in the 51st minute of the second half, Matic successfully intercepted the ball in front of the 30-meter area in his own half.

The Serbian midfielder passed the ball to Modric, who made a lob pass to Lewandowski in the center circle of his own half.

The Polish center forward retreated to receive the ball, grabbed the first point, and headed it to Gareth Bale on the left flank.

The Welshman sprinted all the way forward from his own half, and when he caught up with Lewandowski's header, he headed the ball directly in front of him, then suddenly accelerated and sprinted forward at the fastest speed.

Gareth Bale's speed was fully demonstrated at this moment, and he broke through Barcelona's defense at lightning speed.

Seeing that Gareth Bale was about to rush into the penalty area, Bartra had nowhere to retreat.

But just outside the penalty area, the Welsh player suddenly made a cross pass.

The ball was originally intended to be passed to Walcott on the right side of the arc.

Unexpectedly, Lewandowski suddenly intervened and intercepted the ball midway.

The Polish center forward also tried his best to score a goal.

After rushing all the way, he finally caught up with him.

After intercepting the ball at the top of the arc, Lewandowski didn't even adjust. After stopping the ball with his right foot, he swung his left foot and shot directly.

The football flew out at an extremely fast speed and went into the right side of Barcelona's goal.

Valdes also made a strenuous save, but ultimately failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.

3 is better than 0!

hat trick! !
"The army was defeated like a mountain!"

"After losing 0-3 to Bayswater Chinese in the first leg, Barcelona still failed to turn the situation around after returning to their home ground."

"It's only 51 minutes into the second half and Barcelona is already 3 goals behind, with the aggregate score at 0-6!"

"It has to be said that Bayswater Chinese performed very steadily in both rounds, firmly grasping Barcelona's weaknesses and shortcomings, and making it difficult for Villanova's team to come up with effective weapons to turn the situation around."

"Just like in the attack just now, the header advantage and speed advantage were fully utilized!"

"In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Bayswater Chinese scored two set-piece goals."

"Barcelona paid attention to this in the second leg, but still failed to stop the opponent's attack."

"Now, for Barcelona, ​​the most pragmatic attitude is no longer to advance to the final or beat the opponent."

"The most important thing for Barcelona right now is to score a goal and save face at home!"

……

Barcelona seems to think so too.

After conceding the third goal, Barcelona began to intensify their pressing in the midfield and frontcourt.

At the very least, the players are obviously much more active than before.

But the opportunity has been lost.

By the time Barcelona suddenly realized this, it was already too late.

On the contrary, the Chinese players in Bayswater continued to play steadily.

If we say that in the first leg at the Prudential Arena, Yang Cheng's tactics were more aggressive and took the initiative to suppress Barcelona, ​​then in the away game at the Camp Nou, the tactics Yang Cheng adopted were a bit like a defensive counterattack.

It’s just that the Chinese in Bayswater still pushed their defense line relatively high and did not adopt a defensive retreat.

As soon as there was a chance to grab the ball, the Chinese in Bayswater would immediately launch a counterattack using various means.

Modric?

Toni Kroos?
Matic?
The Barcelona players noticed.

In the 67th minute, when the Chinese in Bayswater intercepted the ball and wanted to launch a counterattack, Barcelona had already locked down the three midfielders of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Especially Toni Kroos.

When he wanted to launch a long pass, Xavi quickly moved closer and almost snatched the ball from Toni Kroos.

Fortunately, the German midfielder had a big enough butt and reacted quickly enough. He turned around and blocked Xavi with his butt, keeping the ball firmly.

After protecting the ball, Toni Kroos saw Marcelo quickly moving forward from the left to meet the defense.

So he immediately passed the ball to the left.

After Marcelo kicked the ball out, he looked forward when chasing after it and made a long pass with his left foot.

This was a long diagonal pass from the left side directly to the right side outside the Barcelona penalty area.

The distance is at least 60 meters!
This kind of long-distance pass has always been Toni Kroos' forte.

But this time it was Marcelo who passed the ball!

The Brazilian's long diagonal pass had a bit of a high arc and the speed of the ball was not particularly fast.

When the ball fell to the outside right side of the penalty area and Walcott rushed forward at high speed to catch up with the ball, there was no defensive player around him.

After the England winger took the ball, he turned and took it into the right side of Barcelona's penalty area.

At this time, Alba returned to defense in time and blocked Walcott.

One on one!

Both players are not very tall, but are known for their speed.

But Walcott took advantage.

When Alba rushed over, the little tiger started immediately without waiting for him to gain his footing.

The ball followed the person and rushed to the baseline at an extremely fast speed.

As soon as they met, Alba was rushed over by the little tiger. He didn't even have a chance to foul and could only watch the English winger rush over.

Walcott rushed to the right side outside the small penalty area and sent a cross with his right foot, lifting the ball to the back of the goal.

Lewandowski was a step slow in the middle, but Gareth Bale rushed to the back post and headed the ball directly into the left side of Barcelona's goal.

4 is better than 0!
