I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 300 A farce! Don't be afraid, Jose, this is just the beginning! Fake news from La Liga! [Subscribe]

As the referee Howard Webb blew the whistle, Giroud kicked the ball to Gareth Bale in the center circle, and Chelsea striker Falcao quickly pressed forward.

Everyone was surprised when Gareth Bale kicked the ball back to Matic who was lagging behind.

Everyone originally thought that Chelsea would adopt a step-by-step pressing tactic.

Unexpectedly, apart from Falcao, no one else crossed the center line.

The Bayswater Chinese patiently passed the ball back and forth in their own half, organizing and planning offensive opportunities.

Falcao only ran symbolically in the front, and after pressing for a while, he retreated to the center circle.

Obviously, Chelsea's tactics in the second half were still to stabilize the defense first.

But a few minutes later, Bayswater Chinese created another chance.

It was Toni Kroos who received the ball on the left side outside the penalty area, adjusted himself, and then made a long cross pass.

Piszczek quickly made a run on the right, stopped the ball, passed it to Gareth Bale, and then made a run to the bottom line at the fastest speed.

The Welsh winger stopped the ball and knocked it back, passing it to the baseline.

After Piszczek caught up, he made a low cross from near the baseline to the front of the goal.

As a result, in the middle of the small penalty area, Giroud was disturbed by Terry and no one could touch the ball.

The football slid out of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed and landed on the left side.

Hazard chased after him and intercepted the ball before it went out of bounds.

The Belgian started with the ball, shook off Azpilicueta, and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Marcelo made a forward run, stopped the ball, and then shot directly with his left foot.

The shot was powerful and at a perfect angle.

But Cech blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand.

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium was broken into a cold sweat.

Mourinho rushed to the sidelines anxiously and shouted at the players, asking them to stay focused and not mess up their defensive formation.

But just 6 minutes later, it was the Chinese from Bayswater who passed the ball.

Outside the right corner of the penalty area, Gareth Bale stopped the ball, dribbled past Ashley Cole with his left foot, and when he wanted to cut inside laterally, he was fouled by Ashley Cole and tripped the Welshman.

The referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

Free kick in the frontcourt!
This location is a bit remote and difficult to play.

But Gareth Bale still stood outside the penalty spot.

Modric also stood at the penalty spot.

The two were obviously discussing how to take the free throw later.

But at the same time, Mourinho also saw that the damn Gianni Viola came out again.

God knows what the hell this Italian who gives blind orders all day long is up to?

With the whistle of referee Weber, Modric took the lead.

But just when everyone thought that Modric was just a smokescreen and the real player taking the penalty was Gareth Bale, the Croatian midfielder quickly kicked a curve ball.

At this moment, the players in the penalty area have already started running.

The entire Chelsea penalty area was in chaos.

And in the chaos, a strong figure quickly jumped out, leaped high, and headed the ball towards the goal with a powerful header.

"Van Dyke!!!"

But at this critical moment, Cech turned sideways and blocked the ball with one hand.

Everyone at the scene thought it was a goal.

When they all reacted, they gave thunderous applause and cheers to the Czech goalkeeper.

More than 40,000 Chelsea fans were shouting Cech's name there.

"This defense is really Cech's masterpiece!"

"Chelsea's set-piece defence was once again broken, but Cech's heroic save in front of the goal kept the goal intact!"

"This is the role of a top-level gate god!"

"In the second half, in about 10 minutes, Cech has made two crucial saves."

"If it weren't for Cech, I believe the current score would definitely not be 1-1!"

……

"They are now grabbing one side of us, hitting us hard, and then suddenly moving to the other side when they find an opportunity."

Rui Faria was uneasy about the situation at the start of the second half.

The Chinese in Bayswater’s attack was truly amazing!

"Now it's not a question of whether our players will make mistakes, but...even if we don't make mistakes, we may not be able to stop it!"

Mourinho remained silent but looked at another assistant coach, Jose Morais.

I found that the latter's expression was also very serious.

The current situation is indeed very bad.

Before he became a coach, and even when he was coaching Chelsea, he always felt that conceding a goal was a mistake!
The reason is simple, if no one makes mistakes, why would there be loss?

Benítez also has the same logic.

His most typical statement is: Give me 11 robots and I can win all the games.

The logic behind this is that as long as my players don't make mistakes, I can win.

Starting from this point, he will make very high demands on the players. He will use training and various methods to ensure that the players do not make any mistakes in the game and maintain absolute concentration.

As long as the probability of players making mistakes is reduced, won’t the team lose fewer goals?
All of this is based on one premise.

As long as the players want to do it, they can do it!
But is this really the case?
After being sacked by Chelsea, Mourinho took a break.

He watched a lot of games, studied a lot of tactics, and communicated with many people.

When he calms down, he will find that many people, including Ferguson and Wenger, think that most of the goals conceded are due to players' mistakes.

But in fact, there are some goals that we really can’t help conceding.

There is no solution!
By the same token, some attacks are unsolvable.

why?
Because manpower is limited!

Many times, the head coach feels that the players can do it.

But when you are really in the game and put yourself in the player's shoes, you will find out devastatingly that he can't do it!

Or, not done well.

Mourinho still remembers a word he heard when he was communicating with Yang Cheng.

Safety redundancy!

That was said a long time ago.

Yang Cheng said that when he designs tactics, he will leave players ample room to make mistakes.

Mourinho thinks it's bullshit!
Go all out in every game and leave room for mistakes?

But now, with more experience and years in coaching, he is beginning to understand why.

Just like this long pass from Toni Kroos.

You know he's going to pass it, and you also know where he's going to pass it.

But you just can't stop it.

Because he passed the ball so quickly and so accurately.

He always runs in the open space to receive the ball, and after receiving the ball, he adjusts and immediately makes a long pass.

The defensive players had no time to stop it.

The ball always moves faster than people.

As long as the ball is passed, Chelsea's defensive formation cannot move faster than the offensive adjustment speed of the Chinese in Bayswater.

When the attack came, Chelsea's defense was still moving and adjusting.

Then mistakes are inevitable!

People will see that it was the players who made the mistake.

But actually?
This is another form of unsolvability.

If the head coach requires his players to move quickly, perfectly defend against the opponent's attack, and maintain the order of the overall formation...

It might work once or twice, but is it realistic to require you to do it every time, or even most of the time?
The players can’t do it, isn’t there any solution?
Thinking of this, Mourinho actually felt a very depressed and angry feeling in his heart.

He was a proud man and was not willing to give in and show weakness.

But reason told him that now was not the time to compete with Yang Cheng.

If he still wants to win, he must maintain the score.

Again.

As long as we can stop the attack of the Chinese in Bayswater, we will definitely score a goal!
So Mourinho gritted his teeth, walked quickly to the sidelines, and called out Terry and Khedira's names.

Mourinho's latest instruction is to ask the team's defense to retreat appropriately.

Wasn’t Yang Cheng attacking from behind Chelsea’s full-back and centre-back?
Then I will take the initiative to retreat, tighten my defense, and not give you this space!
Mourinho had no psychological burden at all when it came to giving up the initiative in the game and the situation on the field.

This is what he does best!
But Mourinho overlooked another thing.

The Bayswater Chinese players are not fools either.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng has always given players a high degree of freedom to play within the tactical framework of the game.

When Chelsea adopted a defensive retreat, the Bayswater Chinese players immediately noticed the change.

The team's tactics were quickly adjusted as well.

……

In the 63rd minute, it was still the Bayswater Chinese who were attacking from the left.

Marcelo, Hazard and Toni Kroos launched an attack on the left.

But this time, Chelsea was specifically responsible for protecting the perimeter of the penalty area.

Khedira dropped back to intercept Toni Kroos.

When Hazard dribbled into the left side of the penalty area, he was also double-teamed by three defensive players.

This made it difficult for the Chinese in Bayswater to advance their attack.

It is also difficult to transfer.

Marcelo appeared in time on the left side outside the penalty area to receive the ball.

Hazard protected the ball in the double-team and passed it to Marcelo.

Marcelo, who is known as a point guard, stopped the ball and glanced at the center of the penalty area.

Giroud is in the middle and Gareth Bale is on the right, and both of them have pressed to the small penalty area line.

In this situation, as long as they can pass the ball, they can head the ball directly into the goal.

But there was a whole row of defensive players near Chelsea's small penalty area line.

Even if it is passed, is there a chance?
Chelsea is now dragging its entire defense line very far back, leaving no offensive space for the Chinese in Bayswater.

As soon as Marcelo got the ball, Azpilicueta rushed out from the penalty area.

But the Brazilian left-back first pretended to rush to the bottom line, then suddenly stopped and dribbled the ball back, creating some space.

All the attention of Chelsea's defenders was on the bottom line.

But Marcelo came back, adjusted himself immediately and made a direct cross.

In order to avoid the defensive players in the penalty area, the arc of this cross is a bit high.

But the ball did not go into the small penalty area, but fell to the right side of the penalty spot.

Almost at the same time, Gareth Bale suddenly retreated from the right corner of the small penalty area, turned around and ran to the right side of the top of the penalty area at the fastest speed.

Chelsea's defense was too far back, and Khedira and Ramires were at the front of the penalty area.

A gap appeared between the two lines of defense.

Gareth Bale swung his left foot on the right side of the penalty spot and stopped the ball towards the penalty spot with the inside of his foot.

In the next step, the Welshman pushed hard with his feet and sprinted sideways, while using his right shoulder to block Gary Cahill who was running over to steal the ball.

The Chelsea center back was blocked by Gareth Bale and couldn't touch the ball at all.

The Welshman saw, in the chaotic penalty area, a passage from his side to the left side of the goal.

After adjusting and stabilizing his right foot, he kicked out with his left foot.

The football flew out at an extremely fast speed, giving no one time to react. It almost brushed the inside of the left post and hit the side net of Chelsea's goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 63rd minute of the second half, Gareth Bale scored another crucial goal!"

"2 to 1!"

“The Chinese in Bayswater have completed a comeback!”

“It was a really great goal.”

"From the Welsh winger, Gareth Bale cuts in from the right and volleys with his left foot!"

"He scored twice!"

"Chelsea wanted to block the area behind their defense and ended up retreating far back, while Bayswater Chinese cleverly changed their style of play, giving up attacking the area behind them and instead attacking the space in front of their defense."

"When the TV screen froze, we saw that Chelsea's defense was full of people, but they were out of touch with the midfield."

"Marcelo's pass was very clever, he saw the gap!"

"That's what a point guard does!"

"The current situation is very unfavorable for Chelsea!"

"Mourinho should hurry up and think of a solution."

When Yang Cheng saw Gareth Bale score twice and rush out of the stadium to celebrate, he also jumped up excitedly and clenched his right fist.

Looking at the home team coaching bench, Mourinho had a depressed look on his face, obviously very disappointed with the goal conceded.

Seeing the Portuguese madman's expression, Yang Cheng was happier than when he scored the goal himself.

In fact, if possible, he really wanted to walk over and give Mourinho a kind hug to comfort his old friend.

Don't be afraid, Jose!

This has just been reversed.

Next, we will continue to score goals!
……

After suffering a 1-2 reversal, Chelsea really couldn't defend anymore.

Mourinho's team must choose to press forward.

Otherwise, the home team will be really finished!

Mourinho's first substitution was to replace Ashley Cole with Eto'o.

Azpilicueta appeared at left back and Chelsea returned to the familiar 4231 formation.

This is a signal to actively press forward and attack.

After the substitution in the 65th minute, in the 69th minute, the Chinese from Bayswater once again threatened Chelsea's goal with a free kick in the frontcourt.

Hazard was fouled by Ivanovic when he dribbled the ball on the left.

Eto'o's mission was to attack and score goals, so he was not active in defending Ivanovic.

This resulted in Ivanovic almost being eaten up in a one-on-one situation when he was marking Hazard.

The foul by the Serbian defender gave the Chinese players of Bayswater a free kick opportunity on the left side of the frontcourt.

Toni Kroos took the free kick.

The German player sent a quick and sharp arc ball, which landed accurately in the middle of the small penalty area.

Van Dijk suddenly rushed forward, shook off all the defenders, and headed the ball towards the left side of the goal with a fierce header.

Having already hit the post once in the first half, Van Dijk's header hit the left post again, bounced back into the penalty area and was cleared by Chelsea defenders.

The Dutch central defender's header is indeed very sharp, and has even become an important means of attack for the Chinese in Bayswater.

But today's luck is not good.

Hitting the post twice, what else can I say?

Chelsea immediately made a second substitution.

Schurrle replaced William.

The purpose of this substitution is to strengthen the attack on the flanks.

Moreover, Yang Cheng also saw that Demba Ba was warming up on the sidelines, ready to come on as a substitute at any time.

But not long after Schurrle came on the pitch, Chelsea started their attack and were quickly seized by the visiting team.

After receiving the ball on the left, Toni Kroos made a long diagonal pass, accurately sending it to the position behind the defense line in the frontcourt.

Gareth Bale made a fast run forward.

Azpilicueta is right-footed and plays as a left back, while Gareth Bale is left-footed and plays as a right winger.

But the Welsh have an advantage.

That is, after years of hard training, his right foot is actually very good.

So, after stopping the ball on the right side of the penalty area, the Welsh player dribbled directly to the bottom line and sent a high cross.

The ball was hoisted into the front of the small penalty area by Gareth Bale.

Giroud arrived at this time, jumped high, headed the ball before Terry, and smashed the ball into the goal.

But at the critical moment, Cech made another crucial side dive and blocked the ball with one hand.

Before the fans at Stamford Bridge had time to exclaim, Giroud quickly caught up after landing and, with no one guarding him, sent the ball into the goal with his right foot.

"The ball went in!!!"

"3 to 1!!"

"In the 74th minute, a goal from Giroud!"

"The French striker's header was blocked by Cech, but he cleverly chose to make a follow-up shot and scored!"

"This quick counterattack by the Chinese in Bayswater was a great success!"

"Although Yang Cheng's team lost a goal in the first half, they quickly scored three goals in a row!"

"Mourinho's team also played very bravely."

"Although Chelsea retreated a little bit in the second half, overall, the Blues still chose to go head-to-head with the Bayswater Chinese. This was a very courageous and bold choice."

“But it turns out that confronting the Chinese in Bayswater is not a good option!”

After seeing Giroud push the ball into the goal, Yang Cheng swung his fist hard.

The outcome of this game has been decided!

But judging from the course of the game, the win was actually quite dangerous.

Especially the first half.

No one expected that Mourinho's team would choose this three-defender, or five-defender style of play.

This happened so suddenly that the Chinese people in Bayswater were completely stunned.

As for the final reversal, Yang Cheng felt that the most important thing was the strength of the Chinese in Bayswater.

The most vivid example is Demba Ba.

After the center forward came on as a substitute, he obviously wanted to compete with the Chinese players from Bayswater in the middle and create a threat in the penalty area.

The results of it?
Demba Ba couldn't get any advantage at all in front of Van Dijk and Pepe.

Whether it's a competition of physique, technique, or experience, he has no advantage in any of them.

On the contrary, after Oscar was replaced, Chelsea's midfield was affected.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese reversed Chelsea 3-1 away from home!

……

Bayswater Chinese reverse Chelsea!
This piece of news quickly became a hot topic in the world of football.

There are different interpretations of this match. Some people accused Mourinho of being too arrogant and going head-on with the Bayswater Chinese.

Some people also think that Chelsea is not strong enough.

Some people were also amazed at the strength of the Chinese in Bayswater.

But almost all the media and fans praised Yang Cheng.

Because the on-the-spot command in the first half was the key point of the game.

"The area behind the full-backs and center backs became Chelsea's nightmare in this game!"

The Times even asserted that if Mourinho cannot solve this problem, more teams will surely hit this point next.

Because two of the three goals scored by the Chinese in Bayswater were scored through this route.

"Guardiola must be very depressed. Why did Manchester City play Chelsea before the Chinese in Bayswater?"

"In this world-renowned match, Yang Cheng once again proved his coaching ability as a world-renowned coach."

"His on-the-spot command is still the best in today's football!"

Gareth Bale, who scored twice and also planned the third goal, was not selected as the best player of the game.

Instead, Toni Kroos was selected as the MVP by Sky Sports after the game!

The reason is: The German player once again proved to the world why Yang Cheng was willing to wait for him for 5 years!
In fact, since landing in the Premier League, Toni Kroos has been constantly proving himself and winning more and more recognition, especially for his passing and long passes.

He has always been the player with the highest pass success rate and the highest long pass success rate in the Premier League.

There is no position restriction in front, it is just the tallest among all players.

Even the defenders are not as good as him.

This is very outrageous!
At Stamford Bridge, Toni Kroos once again proved his strategic value.

Judging from the statistics, it was very unremarkable, with no goals, no assists, and even the threatening passes were not very impressive.

But his importance is obvious to everyone who watched the game.

Mourinho also said in an interview with media reporters after the game, "I didn't lose to Yang Cheng!"

"The only difference between us and the Chinese in Bayswater is Toni Kroos!"

This is undoubtedly an affirmation of the German midfield!

The outside world immediately interpreted it and believed that Chelsea might sign Toni Kroos in the summer.

Mourinho also answered ambiguously, "Why not? He is a player that every team needs!"

In response to Mourinho's overtures, Toni Kroos shook his head very coldly when being interviewed by media reporters.

"I will not thank the Chelsea manager for recruiting me out of politeness."

"Because this is not what I want."

"I don't want to be recognized by other head coaches either."

"For me, the only thing that matters is my head coach and my teammates, what they say about me!"

Toni Kroos's statement immediately won unanimous praise from the Chinese fans in Bayswater.

Many fans took to the Internet to cheer and give likes to the German midfielder.

Especially the coolness when he speaks, he is so aloof.

But the words are so beautiful.

In other matches in the same round, Manchester City defeated Norwich 2-0 away with Messi scoring twice.

Manchester United beat Fulham 3-2 at home.

Just when the 25th round of the Premier League was over, a shocking piece of news suddenly broke out from Spain.

Yang Cheng wants to acquire Malaga, which is on the verge of relegation in La Liga!
This immediately set off a sensation in the world of football.

All the media and fans were shocked by the news.

But after Yang Cheng has used various means to acquire Nice in Ligue 1 and Atalanta in Serie A, it doesn't seem strange that he is now acquiring Malaga in La Liga.

……

“This is complete fake news!”

In the headquarters office of Bayswater Chinese in central London, Yang Cheng, who had hurried over, met with core executives from many departments in the conference room.

Adam Crozier assured, "I swear, I haven't met with the Malaga team since May last year!"

"So where did the news come from?" Yang Cheng asked with a frown.

If he did this and it was exposed, then that's it.

The problem is, he didn’t do it!

It's obvious that someone is trying to drag me down.

I was shot while lying down.

"After the news came out, we immediately traced the source. The news came from Spain, so we immediately contacted the Spanish media. According to the information we have so far, it should have been the Middle Eastern boss who exposed it."

Al Thani?

According to the investigation of Bayswater Chinese Public Relations Department, Al Thani first said in an interview with Spain's Malaga Opinion, "We are in contact with the private team of Yang Cheng, the owner of Bayswater Chinese."

To be honest, Malaga doesn’t have much traffic now, and the media attention is not as much as before.

But the Chinese in Bayswater are different from Yang Cheng, they are at the peak of their careers.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused heated discussions among media and fans around the world, and the traffic exploded.

The actual situation is that Yang Cheng's team did have contact with the Malaga team, including Al Thani.

And it’s quite early.

I had contact with him in 2012, and then had contact with him several times on and off.

But in 2013, Yang Cheng finally chose Atlanta.

In August 2013, Al Thani sold a 8% stake to Blue Bay, a hotel and resort chain headquartered in Marbella.

The selling price is a symbolic 1 Euro.

I believe many people will be surprised when they see this.

Is Al-Thani stupid?
Instead of selling it to Yang Cheng, why not sell it to Blue Bay for a symbolic 1 Euro?

No, actually he is not stupid.

Because Malaga has a debt of 1.3 million euros, although Blue Gulf only paid 1 euro, it has to bear the debt corresponding to the shares and the unpaid taxes.

In other words, Blue Bay's actual acquisition price was more than 6500 million euros, acquiring 49% of Malaga's shares.

At that time, Yang Cheng's team made an assessment and estimated it to be more than 8000 million euros.

The price Al-Thani offered to Yang Cheng was that he would take 1 million euros, and all debts and unpaid taxes would be borne by Yang Cheng.

Later, after some discussions, the price was reduced to 5000 million euros.

But this was still beyond Yang Cheng's acceptance, so he chose Atlanta.

Of course, the reason why Malaga is expensive is that they own the Rose Garden Stadium.

At that time, Malaga had many strong players like Isco, and the head coach was still Pellegrini.

But now Malaga has changed a lot, and because of debt, it has been banned by UEFA.

This season, after 23 rounds of La Liga, Malaga is ranked 16th, very close to the relegation zone.

"What is Al-Sani going to do this time?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.

"According to the information we have received, this past season, under the management of Blue Bay, Malaga earned more than 3 million euros from the sale of players, but the club spent almost nothing on recruiting new players, and all the funds were used to repay debts."

"So now, Malaga's financial situation has improved significantly."

"But there is still nearly €3000 million in debt, and their annual budget has now been cut to € million."

In other words, the debt reached Malaga's three-year fiscal budget.

"When Al Thani bought Malaga, he wanted to spend 4 million euros to expand the yacht marina in Marbella, west of Malaga. But since 2011, the project has been repeatedly blocked and has not started yet."

"Al-Thani is very unhappy about this and naturally doesn't want to invest any more money."

"After Blue Gulf acquired a stake and began to manage Malaga, it successfully reduced debt and eased financial pressure through a series of operations. Then Al Thani began to regret it."

"He believes that Blue Bay has not invested a penny, relying on the nearly 2 million euros he has invested in the past few years to ease the debt by selling players."

"So he felt that he had suffered a big loss by selling 1% of his shares for a symbolic 49 euro."

"He regrets it now!"

"So he filed a criminal complaint against Blue Bay and two investment advisors he had worked with before, arguing that the three parties were conspiring to defraud him of his shares."

"But on the other hand, Malaga fans are very dissatisfied with the team's current situation and have repeatedly protested, fearing that Malaga will be relegated. The Malaga city government is under pressure from fans and is also putting pressure on Al Thani."

"Either we have to make additional investments or we have to sell the club as soon as possible."

"It was under these circumstances that Al-Thani made his remarks in front of the media, including the statement that we were going to acquire Malaga."

"The most outrageous thing is that Blue Gulf is also accusing Al Thani of secretly transferring Malaga's shares without Blue Gulf's consent."

This is a huge mess!
As early as August 2013, after Al Thani and Blue Gulf reached a consensus, the two parties jointly established a company called NAS8, with Al Thani holding 2000% and Blue Gulf holding 51%.

After NAS was established, it bought 1% of Malaga's shares for a symbolic price of 96.9 euro.

The remaining 3.1% is held by a small shareholder association made up of many fans.

According to the agreement, Al Thani handed over the management rights of the club, Blue Gulf officially took over Malaga and started a round of reforms.

But the problem is that Al-Thani went back on his word.

"According to the intelligence we received, Al Thani's change of heart may be because Blue Bay did not help them with the Marbella Marina issue."

"So, just recently, he set up another company, NAS Football, in which he is the sole shareholder, but he transferred all his shares in NAS2000 to this company."

“When NAS2000 was established, Blue Bay did not inject capital. They sponsored the Málaga chest advertisement for 200 million euros in the name of the hotel.”

“So, Blue Gulf was not aware of Al-Thani’s transfer of shares.”

"Now, the whole thing is a mess."

Yang Cheng was also confused, but he vaguely guessed what Alsani was thinking.

The rich people in the Middle East are deliberately muddying the waters.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, this dispute began to boil over in 2014, and then continued to ferment and lasted for a long time. Even in 2024, before he traveled through time, the dispute was still ongoing.

There is no result at all.

Al-Thani believed he had been cheated and that 49% of his shares had been taken away from him for no reason.

Blue Bay believes that it has been taken advantage of and helped manage the team to ease its debt.

What about the Small Shareholders Association?

Although they have a small number of shares, they have 2500 shareholders and they have great power.

Among them is Fernando Sanz, the chairman of Malaga before it was acquired by Al-Thani.

Many people may not be familiar with this name, even though he once played for Real Madrid.

But he has a famous father, former Real Madrid president Sanz.

He was the unlucky guy who won two Champions League titles in three years, was so proud of himself that he ran for re-election in advance. But Florentino played the Figo card and knocked him out in one fell swoop!
Fernando Sanz transferred from Real Madrid to Malaga in 99. After retiring in 06, he became the chairman of Malaga and served as the chairman until 2010, when he sold the club to Al Thani.

But after selling 96.9% of the shares, their small shareholders association still holds 3.1%.

Fernando Sanz and Antonio Aguilera, president of the Small Shareholders Association, are not easy to deal with.

Why was Yang Cheng unwilling to continue discussing the acquisition of Malaga with Al-Thani?

I just see that the whole thing is becoming more and more complicated and difficult to deal with!

Therefore, he thinks it is normal that Al-Thani is not doing well now.

It would be strange if Al-Thani could handle something that even he himself finds a headache.

But he really didn't expect that Al-Thani would drag him into this.

This is so nonsense!
"How is the outside world reacting now?" Yang Cheng felt a headache.

As soon as Yang Cheng said this, everyone at the scene, including Adam Crozier, laughed at the same time.

“You know what? After the news came out, both the Malaga newspaper and the Malaga Opinion newspaper conducted an investigation and the result showed that the vast majority of fans supported our acquisition of Malaga.”

Yang Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

What's happening here?
"Really? All of them are over 8%. The most influential local newspaper, Malaga Daily, even has over 9%."

Yang Cheng himself found it funny.

Are Malaga fans so eager to sell the club?

"In fact, it's mainly because after we acquired Nice and Atalanta, the performance of these two teams really improved very quickly."

“Nice is not to mention, Atalanta is also doing well in Serie A. For many Malaga fans, since they are going to sell anyway, they might as well sell it to us. At least we have the support of Bayswater Chinese.”

After hearing what Adam Crozier said, Yang Cheng really felt it was a bit absurd.

Is this to find a good father for yourself?
"No, this is too difficult and troublesome." Yang Cheng refused.

Not to mention anything else, just Al Thani, Blue Gulf and the Small Shareholders Association, these three forces, none of them is easy to deal with.

If Yang Cheng stepped in, he would probably suffer a great loss.

Everyone has always been convinced by Yang Cheng's vision and decision-making.

Last year, Yang Cheng rejected Malaga and chose Atalanta.

Looking at the dire situation that Malaga is in today, it is clear that this decision was the right one.

"However, this bastard Al-Thani has gone too far. He poured such dirty water on me for no reason. It would be fine if he just wanted to take advantage of our popularity, but he also wants to make us take the blame?"

Yang Cheng is not a pushover either.

His code of conduct has always been: I will not offend others unless they offend me.

But if anyone offends me, I will take revenge!

"Didn't Al-Thani place himself and his three children on the Malaga board and collect salaries?"

Yang Cheng looked at Adam Crozier and said, "Contact the PR department. Either Marca or AS will do. Just report this matter."

"Doesn't he want heat? Let's give him more heat, even better, burn him to death!"

Xia Qing has always been very cautious in doing things.

Whether it is Nice or Atlanta, before the acquisition, she will invite a third party to conduct very detailed due diligence.

She did the same when Yang Cheng first contacted Malaga.

That's why Yang Cheng knew that Al-Sani and his three children were all receiving salaries from the Malaga team.

That's a total of 150 million euros per season for all four.

Don't underestimate this little money and think it's nothing.

In fact, all their food, clothing, housing and transportation in Spain were reimbursed.

A similar situation is the Glazer family behind Manchester United, they do the same thing.

"Let's go with Marca. We are familiar with them and it will be easier for us to deal with them," Adam Crozer suggested.

"If you don't teach him a lesson, he really thinks we are soft persimmons!"

As for whether this incident will have any impact on Malaga, this is not within Yang Cheng's consideration.

What's more, he won't show up at all.

The news was leaked by Marca and has nothing to do with him.

Besides, isn't this the truth?

……

The next morning, the Spanish newspaper Marca published this news in a prominent place.

Al-Thani and his three children have been receiving high salaries in Malaga.

At the same time, the Bayswater Chinese also held a press conference in London.

Adam Crozier, on behalf of the club and Yang Cheng, denied that Yang Cheng was acquiring Malaga.

The CEO of Bayswater Chinese stressed that both the club and Yang Cheng will strictly abide by the relevant regulations of FIFA, UEFA and national football associations in all their actions.

"Mr. Yang Cheng has always been a law-abiding operator. From the time he took over Bayswater Chinese in 2003 to now, neither our club nor he personally has ever violated any rules!"

"Therefore, any news from the outside world about him acquiring Malaga is just a rumor, and we reserve the right to pursue it!"

The revelations of Marca, coupled with the clarification of the Chinese in Bayswater, once again put Al-Thani in the spotlight, making the already panic-stricken Malaga even more turbulent.

After two consecutive seasons of selling players and selling almost all the valuable players in the team, such a scandal has now broken out, immediately causing strong protests from the Small Shareholders Association.

The association's president, Antonio Aguilera, said he was calling for a thorough investigation into the Al-Thani family's positions and remuneration in Malaga.

What’s even more interesting is that Malaga is now under the management of Blue Bay, and they quickly broke the news, confirming the revelations of Marca.

For a time, Al-Thani suffered backlash from public opinion.

This Middle Eastern "chief" originally wanted to use public opinion to build momentum for himself.

But unexpectedly, in the end, the situation turned out to be the opposite and he was swallowed up by the public opinion he created himself.

And the farce in Malaga has just begun.

……

Midweek, the 26rd round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese host Tottenham Hotspur at home.

After Villas-Boas was sacked, Tottenham's current head coach is Sherwood.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Harry Kane, who started the game, scored a goal against Tottenham with a shot in the penalty area.

After that, neither side was able to score again.

It was not until the 53rd minute of the second half that Pogba helped the team score another goal.

2 is better than 0!

And in the 82nd minute, Harry Kane once again received a pass from Walcott, headed the ball from close range, and sent the ball into the goal again.

3 is better than 0!

England's center forward scored twice!

With more playing opportunities and the gradual improvement of his physical fitness, Harry Kane's performance is getting better and better.

He had scored a hat trick before and this time he also scored twice, which was a remarkable performance.

In the 88th minute when the game was about to end, Walcott scored against Tottenham again.

In the end, the score was locked at 4-0!

Bayswater Chinese won a perfect home win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Also in this round, Chelsea drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion away.

Interestingly, the Knickers' goal was also an over-the-top pass to the back of the full-back, which was then passed back to the middle in an inverted triangle.

It was exactly the same as the goal scored by the Chinese in Bayswater before.

The most watched match of this round was Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Manchester United at home.

It has to be said that this was not the peak showdown that everyone was looking forward to.

Both Wenger and Ferguson played rather cautiously, which resulted in the game being a bit restrained and neither side was able to score a goal.

This also disappointed many fans.

Liverpool equalized twice in a row away from home, but finally defeated Fulham 3-2 with a controversial penalty from Gerrard in stoppage time.

Manchester City beat Sunderland 3-2 at home with goals from Fernandinho and Messi.

Among them, Messi's two goals came in the 88th and 91st minutes respectively.

And he scored it as a substitute.

After 26 rounds of matches, Manchester City topped the list with 68 points.

Bayswater Chinese ranked second with 66 points.

Liverpool and Arsenal both have 61 points, but the Reds are in third place thanks to their goal difference advantage.

Manchester United is fifth with 57 points.

Chelsea is in sixth place with 51 points.

The situation in the Premier League is becoming increasingly clear.
