I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 305: Great harvest! Drastic changes in the Premier League! Yang Cheng's successor! The winner of the Champions League final! [Subscribe]

The goals scored by the scorer are sometimes really strange.

Until the form is right, you won't be able to play well.

Once the state is right, XJB can kick anything.

Just like Gareth Bale in recent times, it's really like that.

In the 37th round of the Premier League at the weekend, he started again in the home game against Cardiff.

Cardiff changed its head coach during the winter break, and the current head coach is the famous Solskjaer.

Manchester United legend, Solskjaer.

At the Prudential Arena, Solskjaer deployed a defensive 451 formation and defended for 26 minutes.

Aaron Ramsey assisted Harry Kane to score against Cardiff in the 26th minute.

1 is better than 0!

Before the end of the first half, Gareth Bale, who had played back to the left side in this game, broke into the penalty area, received a diagonal pass from De Bruyne, and scored again with his best shot from the far corner on the left side of the penalty area.

2 is better than 0!

This is basically consistent with the outside world's assessment of the strength of both sides.

But just at the beginning of the second half, when Walcott dribbled into the right side of Cardiff's penalty area, he was knocked down by the opponent's central defender Kara.

Referee Phil Dodd directly showed a red card and a penalty kick, imposing the death penalty.

This was a foul without any controversy!

Kara shot when he couldn't defend against Walcott.

The little tiger calmly scored the penalty kick to expand the score again.

3 is better than 0!

At this moment, the game has completely lost its suspense.

But the amazing thing is that Solskjaer is not in a hurry to strengthen the defense.

He chose to replace him with winger Zaha, who was on loan from Manchester United.

This is a bit outrageous.

Red card plus penalty, the full package. A central defender was sent off, and you were facing Bayswater Chinese away from home. Instead of strengthening your defense, you replaced him with a winger?
No one knows what Suo Sheng is thinking.

Perhaps, he really wanted to help the Chinese players in Bayswater to score some goals!

Or maybe Solskjaer really thinks that if Chilean midfielder Medel retreats to the back line to play as a central defender, their midfield can handle it.

All in all, this is how Suo Sheng adjusted.

As a result, the game became completely one-sided.

In the 53rd minute, Gareth Bale scored again, making it his second goal.

4 is better than 0!

In the 61st minute, Walcott also scored a goal, making it his second goal.

5 is better than 0!

In the 64th minute, Solskjaer finally reacted and made another substitution, replacing left-back Fabio, who was also on loan from Manchester United, with forward Jones.

Yang Cheng now understood everything!

Suo Sheng is determined to fight him to the death.

As for whether he wants to score an away goal or show his determination to fight to the end?

Nobody knows.

Out of respect for his opponent, Yang Cheng’s choice was: fuck him!
Then, in the 67th minute, Gareth Bale scored another goal and completed a hat trick.

6 is better than 0!

In the 73rd minute, Sterling, who had just replaced Gareth Bale, also scored a goal.

7 is better than 0!

One minute after this goal, Solskjaer finally made the third substitution.

Forward Bellamy replaced center forward Campbell from Manchester United.

Position substitution!

A man with backbone is truly admirable!
So, in the 76th minute, Sterling made an assist and Walcott also scored a goal, completing a hat trick.

8 is better than 0!

In the 84th minute, Sterling assisted again and Harry Kane scored a goal, scoring his second goal.

9 is better than 0!

In the last few minutes of the game, Yang Cheng made two substitutions.

Young players Patrick Roberts and Stones came on as substitutes.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Cardiff 9-0 at home!
After the game, when Yang Cheng shook hands with Solskjaer, he really wanted to ask Solskjaer a question.

What on earth is going on in your head?

One of our players was sent off at the beginning of the second half. With such a huge gap in strength, why don’t you strengthen your defense? Are you going to fight me to the death?
Chunchun's brain is broken!
But in the end, he held back and didn't add insult to injury.

We are a famous and graceful coach!
But just after the game, news suddenly came from Manchester.

Manchester United lost 0-1 to Sunderland at home.

But this is not the point.

The point is, before this game, Ferguson suddenly suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital.

This sudden change quickly spread around the world, attracting the attention of countless media and fans.

……

It is about 300 kilometers from London to Manchester.

It takes more than 2 hours by train.

There is a full week of rest between the 37th and 38th rounds of the Premier League.

Yang Cheng asked the club's driver to drive the six-seater MPV sponsored by Mercedes-Benz from London to Manchester.

In addition to assistant coach Brian Kidd, Arsenal head coach Wenger and Chelsea head coach Mourinho were also accompanying him.

If this scene was captured by media reporters outside, it would definitely be a lively scene.

But for them, it is actually not rare.

They actually meet privately and even have meals together.

What surprised Yang Cheng was that as soon as Brian Kidd heard that Ferguson was hospitalized due to an accident, Yang Cheng decided to go north to visit him and took the initiative to go with him.

It seems that in the face of life and death, the two have put aside their past grudges.

"I say, Arsène, you've always wanted him to die, right? Why did you go to visit him?"

Mourinho, who was sitting in the third row, made fun of Wenger, who was sitting in the second row.

The 3-hour journey was boring. It would be too dull if we didn’t talk about anything.

Wenger snorted, "You are the same, aren't you? How tough were you before?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wenger added, "If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to go. If it weren't for his illness, you would have become the sixth-best player in the league, ha..."

Mourinho was hit in the sore spot and his face darkened. "I will kill you next season!"

"Let's talk about it until next season. At least you can't kill me now, and I've reached the FA Cup final." Wenger said proudly.

Results are determined through comparison.

There is no harm without comparison.

"To be honest, before coming to the Premier League this season, I really didn't expect the competition to be so fierce. It's outrageous!" Mourinho cursed angrily.

In fact, he has some understanding of the dialogue between strong people.

But he has been away from the Premier League for a few years. I never expected that even the bottom teams in the Premier League are so combative now.

Chelsea actually performed well in strong matches this season, but they lost too many points in places where they shouldn't have, which is what made Mourinho most dissatisfied.

We won the game against the strong team, but lost points to the weak team. Who can we complain to?
That, of course, is the problem with being out of the Premier League first team for so long.

Human energy is always limited.

Whether he is coaching Real Madrid or Inter Milan, what he pays most attention to is still the strong teams in the Premier League.

This means that Mourinho has little idea of ​​the improvement in the strength of the mid- and lower-level Premier League teams over the past few years.

This can be considered as a lesson learned!

"I tell you, next season, I will definitely lead the team into the top four!" Mourinho made a harsh statement.

Wenger sneered in response, obviously not believing it at all.

Because if Chelsea makes it into the top four, the team most likely to fall out is Arsenal.

"What do you think? Should the old man retire as well?" Mourinho suddenly asked another question.

"I think so." Yang Cheng took over the conversation and replied.

Wenger also sighed, "After escaping death, it is indeed time to retire. I am 72 years old."

Although the incident was reported as severe in the media, it was actually much milder than the one in Yang Cheng's previous life in 2018.

The main reason was that it was discovered early and the hospital provided timely treatment, and he was out of danger that day.

"This guy has not been in good health in the past few years. He has had a pacemaker for more than ten years. There have been rumors that he was going to retire, but he just refused to leave and has dragged it on until now."

It would be more accurate to say that Wenger was concerned rather than criticizing Ferguson.

After all, they are old rivals who have fought for so many years.

Suddenly, Ferguson was going to retire, and he felt very upset.

"I heard that he has been under a lot of pressure in the past few years, especially this season. He has not slept well and cannot make it into the top four. It is a huge loss for Manchester United!" Mourinho also sighed.

Football nowadays is no longer just football.

Losing the qualification for the Champions League means a loss of tens of millions of pounds for Manchester United.

Not to mention the pressure from sponsors.

But the competitive pressure of the league is there, who dares to say that they will be able to thrive forever?

"It's better for him to retire. Given his current condition, if he continues to coach, who knows if he will die in the coaching bench during a game?" Wenger "cursed" again.

Everyone nodded.

This is also something no one wants to see.

For others, Ferguson was determined to revive Manchester United.

But for Yang Cheng, the feeling is very different.

He felt that Ferguson saved Moyes' coaching career.

how to say?

In Yang Cheng's previous life, he always felt that Moyes was the one to take the blame.

It is difficult to say who should be blamed. Moyes is responsible for Manchester United's decline in the 13/14 season, but not the main responsibility.

The biggest problem for Manchester United's decline lies in the strength of the team and the huge vacuum in the entire Manchester United management system after Ferguson left.

This is actually what Yang Cheng has always been worried about.

Because the situation he faced with the Chinese at Bayswater was actually very similar to what Ferguson handled at Manchester United.

It may even be more serious.

Over the past few years, he has focused on promoting Dan Ashworth, Mike Rigg and others, but many major decisions still rely on Yang Cheng.

In fact, as the outside world said, the entire competitive department of Bayswater Chinese revolves around Yang Cheng.

If one day Yang Cheng decides to retire, who will take over?
The answer is, no!

No one!
This is the current situation of Chinese people in Bayswater!
Yang Cheng had always been thinking about this matter in the past.

Now that Ferguson has encountered such an incident, Manchester United will definitely be in chaos for a while.

Yang Cheng must also pay more attention.

……

Ferguson was actually fine.

But after all, he is someone who has been through the gates of hell, so his mental state is definitely not very good.

He was very happy to see Yang Cheng, Wenger and Mourinho came to see him specially.

It was somewhat awkward when I saw Brian Kidd again.

Two close friends who were once so close and fought side by side for so many years suddenly parted ways. Now when they meet in such an occasion, they both feel very embarrassed.

But we are all old.

Yang Cheng helped to start the conversation, Brian Kidd greeted him with concern, and the two began chatting again.

Ferguson is a very proud man.

Even now, he still never mentions what happened and has not apologized.

The same is true for Brian Kidd.

But both chose to put aside the dispute and just talk about the present.

Ferguson's wife Cathy has made it clear that Ferguson must retire.

As to who will take over, there is no conclusion yet.

For the time being, the assistant coach will lead the team to play the last round of games of this season.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the controversy is still quite big.

There have been rumors that Moyes will succeed Ferguson.

But looking at Manchester United's current situation, combined with the current status of the Premier League, can Moyes really turn the situation around if he takes over Manchester United?
In other words, does Moyes have such ability?
In Yang Cheng's opinion, this possibility should be small.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing.

After all, if Moyes were to take charge of Manchester United at this time, it would definitely be the end of him.

Given Ferguson's situation, if he really wants to retire, there is no need to worry about where he will go.

Manchester United, the Premier League, UEFA, and even FIFA, countless positions are waiting to be filled.

This is his status in the world!
After the visit, Yang Cheng and his party returned south to London.

What was discussed more along the way was the future of Manchester United after Ferguson retired.

The change came so suddenly that no one knew what would happen next.

After sending Wenger and Mourinho back one after another, Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd returned to the Brent training base.

After the training session that afternoon, Yang Cheng called Brian Kidd, Dan Ashworth, Mike Rigg, Thad Fawcett, and Jenny Vio to his office.

The core issue is: training successors!
At present, Yang Cheng has no timetable for retirement, but it is only a matter of time.

Maybe two or three years, maybe longer, no one knows.

With the operation of Bayswater Chinese, Nice and Atlanta, more and more matters needed to be handled by Yang Cheng.

Plus other businesses.

It can be said that it is only a matter of time before Yang Cheng steps down.

Who will take over?

this is a big problem.

Throughout history, situations like this have often been explored from within.

For example, after Sacchi retired, assistant coach Capello took over as the team's head coach and continued the glory of the Milan dynasty.

Take the current Manchester United as an example. Ferguson is about to retire and his assistant coaches Mike Phelan and Rene Meulensteen are still lacking in qualifications.

Because before them, Ferguson's chosen successor was assistant coach Carlos Queiroz.

But now, Yang Cheng’s assistant coach is Brian Kidd, who is about to turn 65.

In a few years, when Yang Cheng retires, he might be 70 years old.

Return to work at 70?

This is unrealistic!

The current Bayswater Chinese is no longer the English League Two club of more than a decade ago where they can just hire anyone to be the head coach.

Today's West London giants are wealthy and powerful.

The team is also full of stars.

If the head coach does not have any skills and prestige, he will not be able to control the locker room at all.

The most typical example is Manchester United today.

Once Ferguson retires, who will take over becomes a big question.

"I personally think that Ferguson's precedent of training Queiroz should be the most suitable route for us now."

Technical Director Dan Ashworth suggested.

"There are many benefits to doing this. First, it allows players and coaches to get to know each other and get along well with each other. It also makes it easier for us to assess each other's coaching level and gradually delegate power to the new team until the time is right."

"This will ensure a smooth transition and the stability of the team to the greatest extent possible."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

This was the purpose Ferguson used to cultivate Queiroz.

"However, doing so will also bring some new problems," warned Chief Talent Officer Mike Rieger.

"Those top coaches who are truly capable would basically not consider coming to our team as an assistant coach."

"Also, we have to choose the head coach for a few years, so this person must be young, which is not easy."

Everyone nodded again.

He must be young, strong, have development potential, and be willing to come to Bayswater Chinese to serve as an assistant coach.

This is indeed difficult.

With the current influence of Bayswater Chinese, when selecting a head coach, they will definitely only consider top coaches.

But how could a top coach become an assistant coach?

Besides, among the top coaches, Guardiola is the only one who is relatively young.

He is now the head coach of Manchester City.

As a top club, the position of coach of Bayswater Chinese is attractive to all head coaches.

The same is true even if you are just an assistant coach.

The reason is simple, it's like gold plating.

Mourinho was an assistant coach at Barcelona and then took up a position at Portuguese Super League giants Benfica.

Ten Cate gave up his position as head coach of an Eredivisie team and went to Barcelona to be Rijkaard's assistant coach, also in the hope of gilding his reputation.

With the current influence of Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese, if they were to offer their services, it is estimated that the head coaches of teams in Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Portuguese Super League, and even the mid- and lower-level teams in the four major leagues would be interested.

He can come here to gild himself and spend a few years there. Even if he cannot take over in the future, when he goes abroad, the title of Bayswater Chinese and Yang Cheng's successor will be enough for him to make a living in European football.

When Yang Cheng listened to what everyone said, the first person that came to his mind was Zidane.

But he immediately rejected this candidate.

In the final analysis, it is impossible for Zidane to come to coach the Chinese in Bayswater, let alone come to be Yang Cheng's assistant.

From another perspective, even if he came, Yang Cheng would still be worried.

Given his relationship with Real Madrid, if he is trained for a few years and then just quit and go back to coach Real Madrid, who can Yang Cheng cry to?
Isn't this equivalent to training a head coach for Real Madrid?
When Yang Cheng thought of this, he actually didn’t have a good candidate in mind.

If there was, he would have done it long ago.

Besides, Yang Cheng has worked in Bayswater Chinese for so many years and invested so much effort and energy. How easy is it to find a successor?
Of course, this way of succession only happens once.

After Yang Cheng retires, the team's management mechanism will also undergo some corresponding adjustments and changes.

At that time, Yang Cheng will retreat behind the scenes and take control of the overall situation.

In the future, selecting a coach won’t be as troublesome as it is now.

After all, it is impossible for the Chinese in Bayswater to produce another Yang Cheng.

"You two should discuss this matter first, come up with a selection plan as soon as possible, determine a range, then spread the news, circle a list, and then we can slowly select."

Yang Cheng gave some of his own ideas.

"As for age, it's better to be younger, no more than 50 years old." "You need to have more coaching experience, you can be the head coach, assistant coach, or coach of a youth team."

After the age limit is set, there are very few first-team head coaches who meet the requirements.

After all, anyone under 50 is considered a young marshal.

In European football, how many people can be called young coaches?

Pochettino? Guardiola? Antonio Conte?

Please, none of them will come to be assistant coaches for Yang Cheng.

Many coaches in this age group are still assistant coaches or coaching youth teams.

For example, Zidane.

More importantly, if the Chinese are interested in Bayswater, then others also need to want to come.

So, usually the way to select a head coach is to release the news first, and anyone who is interested can submit a resume, or come through someone's recommendation.

By then, the Chinese in Bayswater will finalize a list and circle out a range.

"When we select people, the most important thing is that they must have strong learning ability!"

"In addition, with the development of data analysis and the detailed division of labor, the main job of the head coach is no longer on the technical and tactical level."

“So, when selecting people, we must pay special attention to their character and how they handle the complex relationships with the club, from top to bottom, in all aspects. This is the key point!”

This is what many fans are familiar with: when coaching a top team, the most important thing is locker room management.

But it’s more than that.

There is also coordination and communication between departments.

To put it simply, in Yang Cheng's view, the future head coach is like a project manager, doing more management work.

To some extent, Guardiola does not meet Yang Cheng's requirements.

Although he is good at creating his own football philosophy, he is obviously not good enough in dealing with complex interpersonal relationships.

In today's Manchester City, Guardiola has absolute power and can arbitrarily push forward according to his own ideas.

But at Bayswater Chinese, Yang Cheng and the team's management system would never give the head coach such authority.

To put it bluntly, this is not in line with modern management!
On the other hand, if Guardiola’s tactical ideas were not too advanced and successful in Barcelona and Spain, would Manchester City give him such authority?
Therefore, when Yang Cheng selects people, both coaching ability and personnel management are very important.

This is actually quite difficult.

But it is normal to be difficult.

This is about selecting a successor for Yang Cheng.

If it wasn't difficult, wouldn't it be everywhere?
……

5:11 p.m. on June 15nd.

Round 38 of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Southampton away.

Just 6 minutes into the game, Gareth Bale scored the first goal for the team.

But then, the Chinese in Bayswater were subjected to tenacious sniping by Southampton.

Pochettino's team is no pushover either, as they are playing at home.

With Schneiderlin and Wanyama as the double defensive midfielders, the defense is still very solid.

If the advantage had not been established by the opening attack, it would not have been so easy to break through.

In the 61st minute of the second half, Sterling, who had just come on as a substitute, received an assist from Gareth Bale and scored another goal for the team.

2 is better than 0!

In the final stage of the game, Modric scored the winning goal for the team.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Southampton 3-0 away with Gareth Bale's assist and goal.

Affected by Ferguson's stroke, Manchester United lost at home in the last round.

But in this game, the Red Devils continued to dominate at home, and after conceding a goal first, they scored four goals in a row, reversed Aston Villa 4-4 and won a crucial victory.

Chelsea lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace away from home, with Terry scoring an own goal.

Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at home.

Arsenal and Manchester City each scored one goal in this round, resulting in a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.

With this, all the Premier League games in the 13/14 season have come to an end.

Manchester City finally won the Premier League championship this season with 99 points!

Bayswater Chinese has 31 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, and has 97 points, ranking second in the Premier League.

Liverpool ranks third in the Premier League with 92 points.

Arsenal is fourth in the Premier League with 87 points.

Both Manchester United and Chelsea scored 76 points, but due to goal difference, Manchester United ranked 5th and Chelsea ranked 6th.

In terms of the players' individual performance, Gareth Bale finally topped the Premier League scorer list with 38 league goals. This is the first time he was elected as the Premier League top scorer in his career.

The young tiger Walcott is the second highest scorer in the Bayswater Chinese team with 20 goals.

After experiencing a low point last season, Walcott's performance has improved significantly this season.

It is worth mentioning that in this season's Premier League, Harry Kane also scored 10 goals and Sterling also scored 8 goals.

Both of these young players put in very good performances.

In addition, there are players such as Paul Pogba, De Bruyne, Casemiro, etc., who all performed very well.

Especially Casemiro.

Although he did not start playing for the team until March after joining during the winter break, and only played in the Premier League, Casemiro's performance was remarkable and he has been outstanding.

During this period, although there was a 3-3 draw with the Gunners, it had little to do with Casemiro.

The most important thing about that game was that both teams played very openly.

In that situation, no one can avoid losing points continuously.

After the 38th round of the Premier League, this season's Premier League came to an end.

Next up is the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.

But this has nothing to do with Manchester United anymore.

Manchester United officials also quickly announced a piece of news that the outside world had already speculated.

Due to health reasons, coach Ferguson officially retired.

Manchester United will start the coaching selection process as soon as possible to choose a suitable head coach for the Red Devils in the new season.

Those currently on Manchester United's coaching selection list include Everton head coach Moyes, Southampton head coach Pochettino, Ligue 1 Nice head coach Ronald Koeman, and Netherlands national team head coach Van Gaal, etc.

These are the head coaches with the best coaching results in European football in the past few years.

Manchester United also only wants the best head coach!
……

After playing in the Premier League, the Chinese in Bayswater only have one game left to play in the Champions League final.

从5月11日到5月24日，足足有近2周的时间。

For Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater, how to get through these two weeks is quite a test.

Because the Champions League final was held in Lisbon, Portugal.

Therefore, the club had previously arranged that after the 38th round of the Premier League, the team would take a short break in London and then head south to Marbella, a city on the Mediterranean coast in southern Spain, to start pre-match training.

But this training camp is different from usual ones.

In addition to the first-team players, the players' families will also be accompanying them.

According to Yang Cheng, this is more like a relaxation before the big competition, which is euphemistically called a vacation-style training.

Marbella is a famous resort on the Mediterranean coast. Yang Cheng brought the team, employees, and their families all the way south, which naturally attracted the attention of the Spanish media.

Especially considering that in the upcoming Champions League final, Bayswater Chinese will face Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, every move of Yang Cheng and the team attracts the attention of people in Spain.

But what’s interesting is that after arriving in Marbella, the Chinese from Bayswater basically just relax and have fun.

Beach soccer games, sea scooters, yacht trips...

Various activities are arranged with very rich content.

The media that tracked and reported on the Chinese in Bayswater were all surprised.

Is this preparation for the Champions League final?
Are you sure you're not here on vacation?

But they didn't know that as the team with the most experience in the Champions League final in world football, and a team that has reached the final for three consecutive years and won the championship twice, what the Chinese in Bayswater need to do most now is to relax and adjust.

Moreover, many activities may seem like fun on the surface, but in fact, they involve a lot of exercise.

For example, a beach soccer game.

Also, most of the time open to the public is spent on playing, but the team has certain training programs arranged every day.

The sports science department has done special research to ensure the team's exercise volume and the players' condition.

On May 5, Yang Cheng took Brian Kidd and Giannis Vio and secretly traveled from Marbella to Barcelona to watch the last round of La Liga held at Camp Nou.

As a result, Barcelona drew 64-1 with Atletico Madrid despite having 1% ball possession.

After the two teams shook hands and made peace, it was Ancelotti's Real Madrid that benefited.

C Ronaldo scored twice at the Bernabeu to help Real Madrid beat Espanyol 3-1.

In the end, Real Madrid won the La Liga championship this season!
As for the battle at Camp Nou that Yang Cheng paid the most attention to, although Simeone was not as good as Barcelona in passing and controlling the ball, he completely suppressed Barcelona throughout the game.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, in this game, Simeone's team should have been injured and Diego Costa and Turan left the field shortly after the start of the game.

This also resulted in Turan missing the following Champions League final.

Although Diego Costa started in the Champions League final, he was injured and left the field after only 9 minutes.

This was also interpreted by many people as the reason why Atletico Madrid ultimately lost to Real Madrid.

But now, at the Bernabeu, both players are free from injury.

This means they will all appear in the Champions League final!
"This Atletico Madrid under Simeone is too tenacious and very different from Klopp's Dortmund, especially in terms of defensive order," Gianni Vio said incisively.

"There is a strong Italian football influence on this Atletico team."

Yang Cheng nodded.

This is reflected on the court. Barcelona had possession of the ball, but Atletico Madrid completely suppressed Barcelona.

Neymar had the ball but posed no threat, and Lewandowski was isolated and helpless in the frontcourt.

Barcelona's trident in the frontcourt was cut apart and each team was left fighting on their own.

Once the players get the ball, there is basically nothing they can do facing Atletico Madrid's layers of defense.

"Brian, what do you think?" Yang Cheng looked at Brian Kidd.

"In the final analysis, the details of playing against Atletico Madrid and Dortmund may be different, but the strategy is the same, especially in a game of the Champions League final, where we have to fight with our opponents."

This is the deciding factor!
It seems that everyone knows that as long as there is a passing and controlling advantage, when playing against Dortmund, the team has to desperately consume the opponent and wait until 60 minutes into the second half before exerting their strength.

Playing against Atletico Madrid is actually similar.

At best it may be that Simeone's side can hold out a little longer than Klopp's.

But nothing more.

But is it really like that?

Simeone is not a fool, how could he not be aware of his own problems?
"Five minutes into the game today, Diego Costa caused Pique's yellow card. This was not a coincidence!" Yang Cheng said.

Brian Kidd and Gianni Vio both had bright eyes.

None of them noticed the yellow card.

Or rather, I forgot everything.

This also made them look at Yang Cheng with admiration in their eyes.

A famous coach must be more sensitive than everyone else!
"Simeone knows his shortcomings clearly. He won't fight with us by wasting time. He will try every possible way to break our goal when he is sure of the time!"

"You mean... he will attack?" Brian Kidd guessed.

"Isn't this too risky?" Gianny Vio frowned.

"The whole world knows that we are good at attacking. He's playing attacking with us?"

Isn't this courting death?

But Yang Cheng doesn't think so.

If Atletico Madrid really wants to defend the opponent strictly, how long can they hold out?

With the offensive firepower of the Chinese in Bayswater, can the Bed Sheet Army hold on?
If it were him, Yang Cheng would take the offensive approach, try to score a goal first, stabilize the morale of the troops, disrupt the opponent's formation, and then slowly play with the opponent.

In a game of the level of the Champions League final, scoring first is a huge psychological advantage!

Looking at their opening attack against Barcelona in this game, it is obvious that they are using Barcelona to train their troops.

The only difference is to what extent Simeone wants to do it.

"After we get back, get the video of this game as soon as possible. We'll study it carefully, especially this opening!"

Yang Cheng instructed Jenny Vio.

Whether it is the knockout round or the final, it is more of a game between the head coaches.

Yang Cheng and Simeone were both guessing each other's game strategies and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

The technical and tactical aspects of football, in the final analysis, are about leveraging one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses.

Yang Cheng hasn’t figured out how to kick yet!
……

After the last round of La Liga, Real Madrid won the championship, while Atletico Madrid and Barcelona ranked second and third respectively.

Ancelotti's team won the La Liga and Copa del Rey titles this season, achieving the double crown.

It is worth mentioning that in the last round of La Liga, Malaga failed to avoid relegation and fell into the Spanish Second Division with 39 points.

The south coast outfit have been plagued by turmoil this season.

Especially after the winter break.

With a series of scandals caused by owner Al-Thani, the contradictions within Malaga's management and the internal chaos were made public, allowing everyone to see the chaos of this team.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Malaga failed to avoid relegation.

What's more, this team has always been in the relegation zone.

At the same time, in the FA Cup final, Arsenal defeated Manchester City.

Wenger's team won the FA Cup!
This can also be regarded as a recognition of Wenger's performance this season.

Moreover, throughout the game, Wenger's team did not play it safe, but defeated Manchester City in a head-on manner.

This is somewhat embarrassing for the newly crowned Premier League champions.

Other European leagues also ended at the same time.

In the last round of Ligue 1, Nice defeated Lyon 0- at home with a goal from Martial.

After 38 rounds of matches, Nice ranked second in Ligue 85 with 2 points, second only to Paris Saint-Germain with 89 points and ahead of Monaco with 80 points.

More importantly, Nice has performed well in several strong matches this season.

Although Ronald Koeman's team has sold many players, it still showed strong strength this season.

Judging from the overall strength, Ronald Koeman's team is indeed worthy of such performance.

If Nice continued its outstanding performance of the past few seasons and the outside world became accustomed to it, then Atalanta's amazing performance in Serie A this season surprised everyone.

Gasperini, the head coach who was sacked by Inter Milan, coached a team that almost got relegated last season. After the Chinese in Bayswater took over, it took only one year to build a strong team capable of competing with the giants of Serie A.

After 38 rounds of games, Atalanta ranked third in Serie A with an astonishing 3 points, second only to Juventus' 80 points and Roma's 102 points.

This is simply unbelievable!
But the most outrageous thing is Atlanta’s signings.

The 37-year-old veteran Luca Toni has never shown good strength whether he was in Genoa, Juventus, or after experiencing the gold rush in the Middle East, he returned to Florence.

Everyone basically thinks that Luca Toni's career is over.

Because of this, when the Italian center joined Atalanta from Fiorentina on a free transfer last summer, it attracted almost no attention.

Everyone thought it was normal.

For retirement.

But no one expected that after one season, Luca Toni scored 38 goals in 26 rounds of Serie A, which became the highest record in his personal career, second only to the 05 goals in the 06/31 season!
This is a 37-year-old veteran!
In second place is Immobile who plays for Torino, who has only scored 2 goals.

Juventus's star striker Tevez only scored 19 goals.

Inter Milan striker Rodrigo Palacio and Napoli's Argentine striker Higuain have only scored 17 goals.

But Luca Toni, the center forward who transferred to Atlanta on a free transfer, actually scored 26 goals.

This simply shattered everyone's glasses!
It is rumored throughout Italy that Atalanta's scouts are like magic!
And everyone knows that behind Atlanta is Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese.

If the success of Bayswater Chinese is the result of years of operation, then what about Nice's success in Ligue 1?

Now, what about Atalanta’s sudden rise in Serie A?

It's not just Luca Toni.

Polish center forward Milik is not valued in the Bundesliga, but has scored 10 goals in Serie A this season.

The source of Atlanta's forwards' continuous goals lies in the team's midfield and two flanks.

Both wingers Felipe Anderson and Iturbe have shined in Serie A this season, making countless dribbles.

Midfielders such as Biglia, Brozovic, Bonaventura and others have performed very well.

Portuguese teenager Bruno Fernandes also demonstrated superb passing skills.

It can be said that the entire midfield and wingers are constantly supplying ammunition to the center forward in front, allowing Luca Toni and Milik to score goals frequently, which has led to Atalanta's sudden rise this season.

They even surpassed Napoli, entered the top three of Serie A, and entered the Champions League qualifying zone.

It can be said that Atalanta’s success has made everyone in European football clearly aware that Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese seem to really have some secret to winning.

Otherwise, how do we explain the rise of Nice and Atalanta?
Especially Atlanta.

It's only one season!

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that what Yang Cheng and the Chinese players at Bayswater have brought to Atlanta is not only a complete set of technical and tactical systems, modern management of the club, and various advanced software and hardware facilities.

More importantly, we share a complete set of high-quality scout networks covering the world.

Atlanta's success is more like the success of player selection and the success of the team's transfer operations.

And behind this is the world's leading scouting network.

Not to mention the players in the midfield and frontcourt, goalkeeper Alisson performed very well.

The three-man defense consisting of Skriniar, Acerbi and Rudiger also impressed the entire Serie A. Their defensive level was completely transformed compared to the previous Atalanta.

You know, Marcos Alonso's performance in the Premier League and the Championship was not satisfactory before.

But after coming to Serie A, his performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and he can be regarded as one of the best left-wing players in Serie A this season.

Since Gasperini has always adopted a three-back formation, Marcos Alonso has always played as a left wingback.

The outside world is generally shocked by Atlanta's performance this season.

Only Yang Cheng.

He felt that this was just normal performance.

Because the current Serie A is really too weak!
With Atalanta's current lineup, if they can't make it into the top three, Gasperini's efforts will be in vain!

Don't say anything else.

After his outstanding performance in Nice in Ligue 1, Yang Cheng has to worry about being poached by Paris Saint-Germain or Monaco, or even other leagues.

But what about Atlanta?

To be honest, Yang Cheng was not really worried.

Because in Serie A, at the moment, there are really not many teams capable of poaching Atalanta players.

The main reason is that these teams are poor!

Juventus is considered to be quite wealthy, but how much money can they offer?

Besides, after entering the Champions League, Atalanta’s revenue also skyrocketed.

Therefore, Yang Cheng doesn’t have to worry anymore.

With the four major leagues coming to an end, this season can be said to be a great harvest for Yang Cheng.

But the biggest reward is waiting for him in Lisbon, Portugal!
