I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 292 Guardiola's defense is broken! Train him to death! It's too heartbreaking, Yang Cheng! [Subscribe]

After the 8th round of the Premier League, almost all media were praising the Chinese in Bayswater.

Although the game ended in a 2-2 draw at the Prudential Stadium.

But as Sky Sports said in its post-match summary: This is more precious than a victory!
The Times believes that this game allowed everyone to see the powerful Bayswater Chinese!

"Ferguson would be horrified by this!"

"Because today's Bayswater Chinese are surpassing Manchester United in both strength and spirit!"

Over the past many years, the Red Devils' might and dominance have been unique in the Premier League.

Especially the so-called Red Devil spirit, which is more like a BUFF, has an added benefit to Manchester United's overall strength.

But now, Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese have also demonstrated a unique tenacity that belongs to a west London team.

"This game is not only a success for the head coach in terms of technical and tactical aspects, but also a success for the unity in the locker room!"

The Times believes that in such a crucial dialogue between two strong teams, the team was able to score first and maintain the lead for a long time even though they were one man down in the first half, before being equalized by the opponent in the end.

"Looking at the current Premier League, apart from Bayswater Chinese, I'm afraid no other team can do it!"

"All of our Premier League rivals will be worried."

"Because they are facing such a tenacious and tough opponent!"

Yang Cheng took the initiative to defend Van Dijk at the post-match press conference.

He believes that there is no problem with the referee's decision and the team does not intend to appeal against the red card.

But for Van Dijk, Yang Cheng believes, "This is a valuable lesson for him."

"After this red card, he will become even stronger!"

In this round, Arsenal beat Norwich 4-1 at home.

Manchester United beat Southampton 2-1 at home.

Chelsea beat Cardiff 4-1 at home.

Manchester City beat West Ham United 3-1 away from home thanks to Aguero's two goals.

After 8 rounds of games, Arsenal leads the Premier League standings with 22 points.

As Mancini said, after the Chinese in Bayswater dragged down Liverpool, Arsenal became the only team standing out.

Liverpool ranked second in the Premier League with 20 points, 2 points behind Arsenal.

Bayswater Chinese had 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and got 19 points.

Manchester City also got 19 points.

But due to the advantage in goal difference of Bayswater Chinese, Yang Cheng's team is currently ranked third and Manchester City is ranked fourth.

Chelsea has 17 points and is ranked 5th.

Manchester United is in fifth place with 16 points.

Judging from the overall trend of the new season, the top 6 teams are very close to each other.

Arsenal and Manchester City have the strongest momentum.

But the Gunners currently have a problem.

That is, in the first eight rounds of games, Wenger's team has not yet encountered a strong opponent in the top six of the league.

In other words, Wenger's team has not yet experienced the test of strong dialogue.

So, to some extent, Wenger's team's current leadership is still quite watered down.

Manchester City played against strong teams but lost to Bayswater Chinese at home and also beat Manchester United.

The real test for Guardiola's team will be in the 9th round, when they challenge Chelsea away.

This will be a very eye-catching showdown!

The duel between Mourinho and Guardiola in La Liga has now been replicated in the Premier League.

But their situations are completely different now.

Chelsea is a team with a deep imprint of Mourinho, and the spirit of the entire team is very consistent with Mourinho.

It's Manchester City instead.

Guardiola has just arrived and is still transforming Manchester City.

Although they have Messi, whether they can shake Chelsea in the strong dialogue will undoubtedly be a huge suspense.

As for Manchester United.

Even though Ferguson's team is currently ranked 6th, it seems that the performance is not very good.

But actually?
The Red Devils have already played three strong matches.

Given Manchester United's efficiency in scoring points against weaker teams, their impact in the next league match has just begun.

Of course, Ferguson’s biggest problem is that his performance is not very good in strong dialogues.

On the other hand, if Manchester United can still rank high after three strong matches, then it will be the undisputed number one favorite to win the championship.

So, after 8 rounds, the situation in the Premier League has gradually become clear.

Basically, all the Big 6 teams have their own problems.

The overall strength is very strong, but problems also exist.

Therefore, it will depend on these six teams. Whoever can solve their own problems better and faster will have the chance to be at the forefront.

……

The day after the 8th round of the Premier League, Yang Cheng saw a bicycle when he arrived at the Brent Training Center.

This surprised him.

This is Van Dyke's bike.

It is said that this guy loved cycling when he was in the Netherlands.

When he was in Nice in Ligue 1, he basically rode a bicycle to the training base.

After coming to Bayswater Chinese, he continued this habit.

"You came so early today?"

Yang Cheng was a little surprised.

In my impression, Van Dijk has always been quite casual.

This may not only be because he has been playing five-a-side football since he was a child, but also because of something that is deeply rooted in his blood.

For example, his mother is from Suriname.

Suriname is a country in South America, right next to Brazil.

It is conceivable that the people here are probably not much different from Brazilians. Isn't it normal for them to be casual?
The first thing Yang Cheng did after arriving at the office at the training center was to read the briefing.

Every day, the coaching staff and various departments would send him briefings on what had happened that day.

For example, in yesterday’s game, the medical department reported on the players’ injuries.

The sports analysis department will report on the players' physical status and physical condition.

Yang Cheng took a quick look and got an idea of ​​what was going on.

But during the morning meeting, physical trainer Oliver Bartlett and technical coach Danny McGrue brought up the same thing.

It turned out that Van Dyke came to see them early in the morning.

"He said he wanted to improve his physical training," Oliver Bartlett laughed.

Yang Cheng was a little surprised. "Doesn't he always dislike training in the gym?"

Oliver Bartlett shrugged and said he didn't know either.

As for looking for Danny McGruen, it was mainly to strengthen his defensive training.

"He said that he had never received formal training in defensive skills."

Don't think this is outrageous.

In fact, in European leagues, many teams' training of defensive players is very rough.

It's basically like they think that defense is just about throwing the players onto the court and they will naturally learn it.

Is that right?

In fact, it is true.

It has only been a short time since former Arsenal defender Kolo Toure received professional training, but he has already started playing in the Premier League and is performing so well.

Compared to midfielders and forwards, defenders actually require more physical strength.

Of course, some basic defensive moves are easy to learn.

For example, not long ago, Guardiola was very dissatisfied with Jerome Boateng.

Why?

Although he is already a German international, Guardiola feels that Boateng can hardly defend and has never seriously practiced defensive skills.

That's why he would throw himself out and fall to the ground to make a tackle at any time.

This is a very bad habit!

So, now, Manchester City is training Jerome Boateng.

And basically everyone thinks that defenders are made through abuse.

Throw them onto the court and let them continue to accumulate experience of being abused. The more they are abused, the richer their experience will naturally be.

In fact, in this regard, Italy's training of defenders is the best and most systematic.

Therefore, in the past few years, there have been Italian coaches in the first-team coaching team and youth training team of Bayswater Chinese, who specialize in defensive training.

Nice has it too.

But according to the information Yang Cheng obtained, Van Dijk did not seem to be very active in strengthening training in this area when he was in Nice.

Because of his excellent physique and fast speed, he always seems to be at ease when defending.

In that case, what's the point of practicing more?
But after coming to the Premier League, especially in yesterday's game, after suffering a big loss at the hands of Suarez, Van Dijk obviously began to change.

In this situation, Yang Cheng was not surprised at all when Van Dijk said that he needed to strengthen his training in defensive skills and defensive awareness.

Of course, he would never tell Van Dijk that Suarez's current name is not very famous, but his personal ability is definitely among the best in the world football today.

Can't defend against Suarez?
This is the same as being unable to defend against Messi.

But since the misunderstanding has made the players motivated, Yang Cheng must of course help them.

"Then make a complete set of special training plans for him, so that he can improve and strengthen himself. But remember, you have to keep a close eye on him. Don't let him fish for three days and dry the net for two days. He can't be lazy and slack."

Yang Cheng's words immediately made the coaches laugh.

This is an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to win over Van Dijk.

This kid is usually very casual, and it's rare that he's willing to make progress now. So of course we need to strengthen discipline and supervision. It would be best to take this opportunity to correct his bad habits.

"From the current perspective, it is most appropriate for him to continue to be a central defender at this stage." Yang Cheng gave him a basic positioning.

No one had any objection.

The central defenders of the Bayswater Chinese have always been one in front and one behind.

When it comes to Pepe and Thiago Silva, it is not fixed who goes on and who retreats, the two of them have the final say.

But it is obvious that with the increase in the age of the players, the scarcity of robbing central defenders has caused the Chinese in Bayswater to face difficulties.

Therefore, Yang Cheng arranged Van Dijk, Harry Maguire and John Stones to attack the ball.

On the one hand, they are all young and have good physical fitness, so they can fully utilize their advantages when attacking the ball.

Moreover, they lack experience, and delaying will only expose their disadvantages and weaknesses.

On the other hand, it involves some rules of top central defenders. The development of their careers is basically to attack first and then delay.

Cannavaro, Nesta, Samuel, Ferdinand, Vidic and others are all like this.

When we are young, we push forward, but when we get older and gain more experience, our bodies start to deteriorate and we retreat.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, many fans' impression of Van Dijk was that he was a laggard.

Some even say that he is a central defender who will retire forever.

This is actually not entirely true.

When Van Dijk was in the Eredivisie, the Scottish Premier League and Southampton, he was basically a forward-moving central defender.

Why is Jose Fonte known as a central defender incubator?
Because the central defenders he incubated include Van Dijk.

Van Dijk became famous in the Premier League because of his excellent tackling and amazing speed in chasing back.

His real transformation came with the serious injury in January 2017, which caused him to miss more than 1 days.

The injury is an ankle injury.

This brings us to another issue.

The 1-meter-tall center back is like a heavy tank.

However, a central defender who can attack forward needs to be flexible and need to chase back, and quick back and forth sprints will occur frequently in the game.

This is very damaging to the players' ankles.

So, why are Guardiola's central defenders always prone to injuries?

The reason is also related to his team's tactical play.

Van Dijk's serious injury forced him to change his playing style, from the original forward-grabbing central defender to the permanent retreat central defender familiar to fans.

Yang Cheng still clearly remembered that in his previous life, Van Dijk had a piece of data that left him with an extremely deep impression.

In football games, when defensive players fight for the ball, they engage in physical confrontations with opposing players, and this is also recorded in statistics.

If you successfully win the ball in a scramble, the confrontation will be recorded as a successful confrontation.

Then, based on the total number of confrontations and the number of successful confrontations, a confrontation success rate was made.

And everyone knows how difficult it is to successfully fight against the odds, especially in the top leagues.

Therefore, the best data in world football at that time was that the success rate of confrontation was less than 7%.

Generally speaking, 6% is considered a very good defender.

What are Van Dijk's statistics?

There is no statistics on this aspect for the older Eredivisie and Scottish Premier League, but at Southampton, his worst figure was 73%.

A T0 level existence that is far ahead!

Watch out, it's the worst.

From Southampton to Liverpool, his confrontation success rate has been around 75%.

You know, in the Premier League, he faced strong center forwards!

Therefore, Yang Cheng is now very much looking forward to it and will never allow Van Dijk to continue to be lax.

He wants to quickly train this killer central defender to extend the peak period of his career.

What’s rare is that now it’s the player who took the initiative to bring it up, so we can’t let him go.

Yang Cheng gave the coaching staff a special instruction.

While ensuring science and the health of the players, "Train him to death!"

As for the center back's ankle joints and other parts that are prone to injury, the Chinese at Bayswater have been closely monitoring them and do not require Yang Cheng to give too many explanations or reminders.

……

On the evening of April 10th, Prudential Arena, London.

In the third round of the Champions League Group A, Bayswater Chinese will face Real Sociedad at home.

Since the team drew 1-1 with AC Milan away in the second round, Yang Cheng attached great importance to this round at home.

Because he knew very well that if he couldn't win this game at home, the situation for qualifying from the group would become very dangerous.

So, this time he sent all his main forces.

Real Sociedad is no pushover either.

Although Illarramendi, the best performing defensive midfielder last season, was signed by Real Madrid with a buyout clause, Real Sociedad's overall strength is still very strong.

The forward line includes former Arsenal striker Vela and French player Griezmann.

Yang Cheng's team had just finished playing against Liverpool and needed appropriate rotation, while Real Sociedad would face the opponent with defensive counterattacks away from home.

As a typical northern Spanish team, Real Sociedad's style is also very tenacious.

As a guest at Prudential Arena, they still performed very toughly and did not restrain themselves at all because of the away game.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng's team adopted a rotation tactic and started off a little more stable.

It was not until the 37th minute that Giroud made a wonderful assist and Gareth Bale broke into the Real Sociedad's goal after breaking into the right side of the penalty area.

1 is better than 0!

After the change of sides in the second half, the Chinese in Bayswater launched an attack.

Just three minutes into the game, Aaron Ramsey scored another goal for the team with an assist from Giroud.

2 is better than 0!

But in the 67th minute, Aaron Ramsey made a wonderful pass, Gareth Bale dribbled the ball inside from the right, dribbled past the defender, and shot a world-class goal with his left foot, once again penetrating the Real Sociedad's goal.

The Welsh winger scored twice.

3 is better than 0!

After a series of substitutions, in the 87th minute, Hazard made a wonderful pass, and Harry Kane, who came on as a substitute for Giroud, stopped the ball in the penalty area and shot into the goal.

4 is better than 0!

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Real Sociedad 4-0 at home!

Everyone can see that the two teams are not on the same level.

A team like Real Sociedad made all adjustments last season, and the players were in good form, so they achieved outstanding results.

But once the results came out, players like Illarramendi were immediately poached by Real Madrid.

This was a huge blow to Real Sociedad.

Bayswater Chinese's 4-0 victory was a complete victory no matter the game process, the scene or the final score!

In another match, AC Milan drew 1-1 with Leverkusen away.

As a result, after three rounds of group matches, Bayswater Chinese ranked first with 3 wins and 2 draw.

AC Milan ranks second due to two consecutive draws.

Leverkusen came in third.

Real Sociedad still has no points.

……

This weekend, the 9th round of the Premier League.

The first game of this round was Arsenal's 2-0 away win over Crystal Palace.

Liverpool then beat West Bromwich Albion 4-1 at home thanks to Suarez's hat-trick.

Manchester United also played at home and, after falling behind twice, reversed the game by beating Stoke City 3-2 thanks to goals from Cavani, Rooney and Hernandez.

Ferguson's team showed great tenacity in this game and won unanimous praise after the game.

Bayswater Chinese are challenging Sunderland away this round.

The Black Cats have been acting strangely in the Premier League this season, performing well at home but playing poorly away from home.

The Bayswater Chinese played against Liverpool and Real Sociedad, and Van Dijk was suspended due to a red card.

This forced Yang Cheng to make rotations.

As a result, 5 minutes into the game, Steve Fletcher received an assist from former Manchester City player Adam Johnson and scored the first goal for the Black Cats.

The defense line led by O'Shea and Dossena also performed very tenaciously.

It was not until the 28th minute that young Sterling, assisted by Modric, successfully made an offside move and broke through the goal guarded by Westwood, equalizing the score for the team.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Sterling made a wonderful pass, Walcott dribbled past the defender on the left side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot, helping the team to overtake the score.

2 is better than 1!

After the second half, in the 52nd minute, there was another quick counterattack after a midfield interception.

After Harry Kane retreated to receive the ball, he made a straight pass, and Sterling dribbled the ball and passed it across the middle.

The little tiger scored again and sent the ball into the bottom of the goal.

3 is better than 1!

Bayswater Chinese finally reversed Sunderland 3-1 with Walcott's double goal and Sterling's goal!

The focus of this round is Chelsea's home game against Manchester City.

This is also the finale of this round!

Both teams have European competitions, Chelsea will play in the Europa League and Manchester City will play in the Champions League.

And the opponents are also quite strong.

Mourinho played with a substitute lineup and beat Rubin Kazan 2-1 at home, which was obviously a way to gather strength and wait for the weekend.

Guardiola's team continued to play in a 433 formation, but Guardiola made some changes in the formation.

Fernandinho played as the single defensive midfielder in the number four position, with Yaya Toure and Verratti in front of him.

The frontcourt is a combination of David Silva, Aguero and Messi.

But Mourinho set up a tight net at home.

After the start of the game, although Manchester City had possession of the ball, it was difficult to break through Chelsea's defense.

Especially Messi.

He was fouled by Ramirez several times when he got the ball.

The key point is that the referee Howard Weber is relatively "tolerant" of this kind of foul.

This made Guardiola very dissatisfied.

When Yang Cheng was watching the live broadcast, he immediately noticed that Guardiola was unusual.

"He's a little anxious too!"

Who said no?
Guardiola and Mourinho met again in the Premier League, and there was still some rivalry between the two in their hearts.

What's more, the two have been at loggerheads in Spain.

"Webber's officiating cannot be said to be biased, it can only be said to be more Premier League, after all, it is Chelsea's home ground." Brian Kidd said incisively.

It is well known to the whole world that the enforcement standards of the Premier League are indeed slightly more relaxed than those of La Liga in terms of some physical contact and actions.

This is actually much better than Yang Cheng’s previous life.

After all, the standard has been revised once before.

But who is Mourinho?
When it comes to exploiting the rules, Mourinho absolutely uses every possible means.

Playing at home, he made full use of this advantage.

And Guardiola soon exposed his own problems.

Too impatient!

This is really fatal for the team that controls the ball.

The facts prove this to be the case.

In the 33rd minute, in a quick counterattack, Schurrle broke through on the left and made a wonderful pass to Falcao.

The Colombian once again crossed the ball to the middle, and Eto'o scored the first goal for Chelsea!

Interestingly, Eto'o was also a former Barcelona player who was driven away by Guardiola.

Now, he is also determined to take revenge on Guardiola.

Now, after scoring the goal, the Cheetah is so happy.

Messi didn't do much in the entire first half. He couldn't be said to be invisible, but he certainly didn't pose any threat.

Mourinho does have some unique ways of defending Messi.

But after the start of the second half, Manchester City suddenly launched a wave of attacks. In the 48th minute, Messi dribbled the ball along the middle and made a precise pass.

Aguero volleyed from the left side of the penalty area to equalize the score for Manchester City.

1 is better than 1!

The game fell into a stalemate again.

Afterwards, both sides continued to make substitutions.

Mourinho replaced William, Mikel and others to strengthen the defense.

Guardiola replaced players such as Navas and Thiago, mainly to strengthen the attack.

The game has been in a stalemate.

Until the 90th minute, when the game was about to end in a 1-1 draw, Manchester City, who had possession of the ball, made a very bad mistake in a back pass by Joe Hart.

Joe Hart, who was about to attack and receive the pass from his teammate, seemed to have a sudden brain short circuit at that moment.

Kompany clearly headed the ball back, and he could have snatched it away with just a casual move of his hand.

I don't know what was wrong with Joe Hart, he actually chose to stop the ball.

He tried to stop the ball, but he didn't stop it properly and kicked it too far.

This is near the penalty spot in the penalty area.

As soon as the ball stopped moving, Falcao was immediately overjoyed.

The Colombian center forward rushed forward and kicked the ball away before Joe Hart.

Then he chased after him and easily shot into the empty goal.

2 is better than 1!

Mourinho rushed directly onto the pitch, cheering excitedly and running around the field.

It was just like he scored the goal himself!
Guardiola was furious on the sidelines, yelling at the players on the field, and his defense was completely broken!

This is the final moment of the game!
The main goalkeeper made such a mistake and gave the opponent a goal. How can the game be played?
In the end, Manchester City lost 1-2 to Chelsea away!

Mourinho's remarks after the game added salt to Guardiola's wounds.

"A lot of people said we won this game by luck."

“This is wrong!”

“What we relied on was that we believed in ourselves from beginning to end!”

"In the last minute of the game, Falcao believed in himself and wanted to score, which gave us the most crucial goal!"

After beating Manchester City 2-1 at home, Mourinho admitted that he had made some gaffes.

But he added, “I didn’t do anything. Our players just played to their speed and offensive efficiency, and we beat Manchester City!”

There was another detail after the game: Guardiola refused to shake hands with Mourinho.

The Portuguese madman who won the game couldn't stop laughing. "I understand how he feels at the moment. It doesn't matter!"

In the post-match press conference, Guardiola had only one comment on the team's last-minute goal loss.

madness!

But Guardiola said he now has mixed feelings.

"There is still a long way to go and anything can happen."

As for Joe Hart's starting position, which many people are worried about, Guardiola said that it is not appropriate to discuss this issue now.

But everyone knows that Joe Hart, who has never been appreciated by Guardiola, is unlikely to retain his position as the main goalkeeper.

Guardiola was also outspoken about not shaking Mourinho's hand.

"I don't want to shake his hand!"

why?
"He ran onto the pitch to celebrate when Chelsea scored in the final moments and ran past us, which was very ungentlemanly behaviour and he has made no apology for it!"

But everyone could hear that this arrogant Manchester City coach was in a bad mood more because of losing the game.

Yang Cheng was not too interested in the grudge between the two.

The only thing he was interested in was that Manchester City lost.

With 64.5% ball possession and 15 shots, we still lost the game!
That's very Guardiola, isn't it?

……

After defeating Guardiola's Manchester City 2-1 at home, Mourinho can be said to be in high spirits.

But his glory does not end there.

In the League Cup in the middle of the week, Chelsea visited the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal away.

The Blues played with a rotated lineup and beat Arsenal 2-0 away thanks to goals from Azpilicueta and Sneijder.

The Gunners did not give their best in the first half, but played with rotation and substitute lineup.

But when Wenger wanted to start to exert his strength in the second half, it was too late.

Mourinho is simply awesome!
The British media praised the Portuguese madman!
First defeating Manchester City and then sweeping up the Gunners, Mourinho has been praised by countless media and Chelsea fans.

After the game, the Daily Mail, which is close to Chelsea, published Mourinho’s pre-match mobilization, believing that Mourinho’s passionate mobilization made Chelsea excited.

Having won six consecutive games and defeated two giants, Manchester City and Arsenal, Chelsea can be described as having been reborn compared to the past.

"Compared to last season, Chelsea has not made too many adjustments and changes in terms of personnel, and even the transfer market has not made much progress."

"But with the same lineup, under Mourinho's leadership, Chelsea has shown amazing fighting power!"

"Chelsea today is a steel lion team capable of fighting on four fronts!"

When Mourinho was interviewed by media reporters, he did not hide his pride or even complacency.

"It's too early to tell, but we're in pretty good form lately and I hope we can keep it up!"

Wenger is obviously in a better mood than Guardiola because they are now the leader.

Wenger was quite relaxed about losing the League Cup, saying that the defeat was mainly caused by the players' mistakes.

Also in the middle of the week, Bayswater Chinese beat Fulham 1-0 at home.

The goal scorer is Harry Maguire!

The England-born centre-back headed the ball into Fulham's goal from a free kick in the frontcourt in the 53rd minute of the second half, scoring the team's only winning goal.

In addition to the goal, Harry Maguire also performed well in the rest of the game.

Manchester United beat Norwich 4-0 at home.

Manchester City beat Newcastle 2-0 away from home.

Guardiola's team quickly emerged from the shadow of the defeat at Stamford Bridge.

And this weekend, Bayswater Chinese will host Chelsea at home!

……

Since October 10, after the League Cup, the British media has begun to frantically promote the 29th round of the Premier League.

The first game of this round is Bayswater Chinese facing Chelsea at home!
Both teams are among the best performing teams in the Premier League this season.

And they are all from West London.

The Sun believes that this is the most powerful West London derby ever!

Why do you say that?

Although before, Bayswater Chinese, coached by Yang Cheng, played the West London derby with Chelsea, coached by Mourinho.

The two teams have even competed against each other in the European Super Cup before.

But this time the situation is clearly different.

"Chelsea just experienced a coaching change in August, and Mourinho's training of Chelsea has not been successful yet!"

"But now, the Portuguese madman has led his blue-blooded lions to six consecutive victories in the Premier League and League Cup. He is truly unstoppable!"

"Especially in the last two games, we beat Manchester City at home and Arsenal away, Chelsea have already got the team in place!"

"Mourinho and his Chelsea are gearing up to avenge their defeat at the Prudential Arena!"

If Mourinho's Chelsea is unstoppable, then the Bayswater Chinese have obviously had some ups and downs this season.

The loss of Lewandowski had a significant impact on the attack of the Chinese in Bayswater.

But the most important thing is the results.

So far, in 9 league rounds, Bayswater Chinese have drawn one game and lost one game.

"This is the worst league start for a West London team in the past three years!"

What do you mean?
In the 10/11 season, Yang Cheng's team was unstoppable and won 9 consecutive games.

In the 11/12 season, Bayswater Chinese still maintained their strong offensive power and once again won 9 consecutive games at the start.

在12/13赛季，球队虽说表现有所下滑，但前面9轮也是7胜2平保持着不败。

But what about this season?
So far, Yang Cheng's team has 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

In terms of points, there is only 1 point difference compared to last season.

But losing 1 game, that’s the point!
The Sun stated very clearly that Yang Cheng's team's dominance is declining.

This is also something no one will deny.

On one hand, the dominance of the Chinese in Bayswater is declining, on the other hand, Mourinho's Chelsea is rising rapidly and has been in very good form recently.

As one side gains, the other loses. Many people speculate that Mourinho's team has a good chance of avenging their previous defeat on the road and defeating the Chinese in Bayswater, just as they had previously defeated Manchester City and Arsenal.

Mourinho is obviously also full of expectations for the upcoming key battle and attaches great importance to it.

After defeating Arsenal, Mourinho said in an interview with media reporters that the reason why the team was able to repeatedly defeat strong opponents was due to the players' own unremitting efforts.

"A good team should have a sense of community and all the players are part of the team."

"It doesn't matter who scores and who doesn't, who performs well and who doesn't, it doesn't matter."

“The most important thing is that we try to do our best in every single game.”

"Against Arsenal and against Manchester City, they were both very tough games, but we won both!"

Regarding Bayswater Chinese, Mourinho admitted that this arch-rival team in West London is the strongest team in the Premier League and even in European football.

“But they’re in some trouble now.”

"This is normal!"

"No team can maintain the strongest competitiveness for a long time."

Mourinho said Chelsea is in very good shape now, "Everyone in the team is very healthy and full of fighting spirit."

There are no major injuries, which is a huge advantage.

Who will be arranged to play in the away game against Bayswater Chinese?
Mourinho said, "This is a very difficult choice. My players are all very good and they are all eager to play in this game, but I only have 11 places!"

From this series of interviews, one can easily see Mourinho's satisfaction with the team's current situation and his confidence in the next game.

After defeating powerful enemies repeatedly, the Portuguese madman became ambitious and wanted to make a big splash.

Chelsea fans also want their team to avenge their previous defeat!
After all, they have not been able to hold their heads up in front of their West London rivals over the past few years.

Now, it's time for the Chinese in Bayswater to look up to Chelsea!
Media reporters revealed that Abramovich made a rare visit to the Cobham training base the day after playing against Arsenal and gave the team a pre-match mobilization.

Not only that, Chelsea management will also offer high match-winning bonuses to motivate players to kill their opponents in the game.

Chelsea is determined to win three consecutive victories in strong battles!

Even more unfavorable for the Bayswater Chinese, it would rain during the match.

Although they are playing at home and have the advantage of geographical location, Chelsea has both timing and people under its control.

This also made many media and fans worried about the Chinese in Bayswater before the game.

……

10月29日踢完联赛杯后，11月2日中午的12点45分，将迎来英超第10轮。

This is the first show of the 10th round!

On the afternoon of November 11st, after the last training session, Yang Cheng held a pre-match press conference in the press conference hall of the Brent Training Center and announced the 1-man roster for the game.

Yang Cheng did not get too involved in Mourinho's pre-match provocation.

But he replied with a heart-wrenching sentence, "He is full of confidence before every game."

"But after all these years, has he ever smiled happily after a game?"

The media reporters were all delighted.

Yang Cheng is a ruthless man who doesn't talk much!
I won't talk nonsense with you, Mourinho, I just want to ask you, how many times have you won?
It’s so heartbreaking, my friend!

But after the press conference, Yang Cheng called a meeting of the coaching staff.

They have also received Chelsea's 18-man squad for tomorrow's game.

"We asked a reporter from The Times who we know well to try to get at Mourinho, but he refused to reveal the starting lineup."

Brian Kidd smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Previously, when Mourinho coached Real Madrid, he announced the starting lineup early.

So Yang Cheng asked the club to make some arrangements to test Mourinho's reaction.

As a result, this guy was very tight-lipped today.

If you have the guts, announce it in advance, Lao Mu!

Yang Cheng secretly complained in his heart.

"We have received reliable information that before the League Cup, Mourinho had some agreements with the dressing room, that is, the best players will play in the league this weekend."

After hearing this, Yang Cheng frowned, "Based on my understanding of Mourinho, he will definitely keep his promise."

Although Mourinho has both good and bad reputations, there are many people who like and hate him.

But there is one thing that everyone must be sure of, that is, he always keeps his word.

Especially in front of the players.

"if it is like this……"

Gianni Vio listed Mourinho's 18-man squad on the big screen, as well as the list of all the players who played against Arsenal and the post-match scores.

"Add the game against Manchester City as well," Yang Cheng added.

Soon, Manchester City's players and post-match scores also appeared on the big screen.

Now, many things become clear at a glance.

"Sneijder, Oscar, William, it should be them!"

Mourinho plays in a 4231 formation, and these three players are the 3.

Brian Kidd had another question when he said this, "But how will he arrange these three people?"

No one knows the answer.

If Yang Cheng guessed it, then what secrets does Mourinho have?

These three are all versatile.

Willian can play on both flanks, while Oscar and Sneijder can play in all three positions.

This is even harder to guess.

"These three players have one thing in common: they are all small, technical players who are good at passing the ball."

Yang Cheng pointed out the commonalities among the three players.

William has speed and explosiveness, and is good at dribbling the ball, but his dribbling ability is not particularly outstanding.

Not to mention Sneijder and Oscar, they are both good at passing and dispatching, but their breakthrough ability is not strong.

"Mourinho is a man with his own stubbornness."

"In the past games, he has always insisted on using Ramires and Lampard as the double defensive midfielder, including the previous European Super Cup."

"But against Arsenal he used Mikel and Essien."

At the Emirates Stadium, the duo of defensive midfielders actually performed well, with Essien assisting Azpilicueta to score the first goal.

William assisted Sneijder to score the second goal.

"Will he use Essien to replace Ramires or Lampard?" asked Brian Kidd.

Yang Cheng thought about it for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said decisively: "No!"

"Lampard is the core of the midfield and an important means for Mourinho to stabilize the locker room, but Ramires is the fighting force in the double midfielder. In this case, neither of them will move."

In this way, the midfield and frontcourt are very obvious.

The striker is Falcao.

The defense actually won't be a big problem, Mourinho chooses to trust the double central defender combination of Cahill and Terry.

The two wingers are still Ashley Cole and Ivanovic.

After Yang Cheng and his assistants' analysis, Chelsea's starting lineup became basically clear.

He is sure that unless there is any unexpected event before the game, Chelsea's starting lineup will be this!
What remains is how the Chinese in Bayswater will respond.

"Will it rain tomorrow?" Yang Cheng asked.

The outside media are already hyping it up.

The right time and right people are all in Chelsea.

Give them the shit!

Don't these bastards know that the roof of the Prudential Arena in Bayswater is closable?

Oh, by the way, in the UK now, apart from Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, only the roof of the Prudential Stadium can be closed.

So it’s normal that they didn’t expect it.

"The temperature is a bit low and there's moderate rain, which is not good for us," Brian Kidd reminded.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Then notify the stadium to close the roof tonight and maintain the turf properly."

"Tomorrow, we're going to take down the Blues!"
