I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 314: The Great Devil of the Premier League! He Created a Miracle in Serie A! The Flash of Inspiration from a Genius Boy! [Subscribe]

As Adam Crozier said, Yang Cheng has more and more things going on.

Before the team left for the United States, he flew to Italy.

The main purpose of this trip is to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Atlanta Stadium renovation project.

This 1 million euro stadium reconstruction project has caused a huge response in Italian football.

Bergamo Mayor Franco Tentorio also attended the groundbreaking ceremony in person.

As early as last year, after acquiring Atlanta, the reconstruction project plan was immediately put on the agenda.

Over the past year, Atlanta has submitted multiple applications, which were approved by the city government, but were hindered for various reasons.

Initially, it was a question of preserving and renovating the historic buildings on both sides of the stadium.

Later, there was the issue of the impact of the expansion of the stands on the north side of the stadium on residents in the surrounding areas.

For example, in the northeast corner, several families living across the street are all Atlanta fans, but they believe that the renovation of the stadium and the addition of a roof will affect the lighting and ventilation of their homes.

This is indeed true.

In short, all kinds of troubles came one after another.

Everyone knows the efficiency of Italian government departments.

The whole thing just kept dragging on like this.

Until May this year, Atalanta shockingly finished third in Serie A and made it to the Champions League for the first time in history.

This is the first time in Atalanta's history that it has entered the Champions League!
The whole city of Bergamo was in a sensation!
All the fans are proud of this team and admire the management level of Yang Cheng's team even more.

But at the same time, problems arise again.

After entering the Champions League, how to solve the stadium problem?

The stadium in Atlanta is already old and dilapidated.

UEFA arranged for people to conduct an on-site inspection in June, but they rejected the proposal on the spot without even having to look at the results.

It doesn’t meet the standards for hosting European competitions!
It was like a powerful slap in the face of the people of Bergamo.

The team performed well and made it to the Champions League, but what was the result?

The stadium is not up to standard and the game cannot be played!

How to do?
Borrow it!

The nearest one is the San Siro Stadium in Milan, also known as the Meazza Stadium.

But AC Milan and Inter Milan have both said they won’t lend!
Why?

You should have a clear conscience. Our two Milan teams couldn't make it to the Champions League, but Atalanta, our little follower who we usually look down upon, made it.

Oh, you got in, so you got in. Why did you come to my doorstep to play the game?

Do you really think that our two Milan giants have no face?

Not to mention the two Milan clubs, even the fans of Milan city were annoyed and refused to lend.

What a bully!
Well, if Milan doesn’t lend it, then we’ll find someone else.

Brescia?

Sorry, the stadium is too small and can accommodate less than 2 people.

Does not meet the standards.

Piacenza?

Holy shit, it’s from 1919 and the facilities are even older and dilapidated.

Also not up to standard.

Not even Parma!

Finally, I borrowed it and arrived at Sassuolo, 200 kilometers away.

The Mapei Stadium was just renovated in 2008 and barely meets UEFA's requirements.

However, UEFA also sent an inquiry, asking whether home stadium attendance is guaranteed?

The whole incident caused a huge response in Italy.

Too shameful!

Is it so difficult to find a stadium that meets UEFA's standards for hosting matches in Italy's northern region, which is known as the most economically developed region in the country?
200 kilometers away, how can Atlanta fans go to watch the game?
How to ensure home game attendance?
In the end, it was Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese who stepped in to mediate, and with the help of the Italian Football Association, they barely persuaded the two Milan giants to allow Atalanta to host the new season's Champions League matches at the San Siro Stadium.

But the whole thing seriously shocked the city of Bergamo.

Especially Atlanta fans.

Many fan organizations have launched petitions in the hope that the stadium renovation plan will be passed as soon as possible.

As a team from Bergamo, it has to move its European competitions to other cities and can’t even borrow a stadium to play its games. This is simply a shame!

Mayor Frank Tentorio promised in a public address to fans that the city government would push for it as soon as possible.

Therefore, the original project to expand the north side stands was smoothly passed after Atlanta paid a certain amount of compensation to the surrounding residents and communities.

The renovation of the historical buildings on both sides of the stands was also successfully approved.

There was an original plan to dig an underground garage outside the south stand, but it was stopped by environmentalists. However, it went through smoothly this time.

Even the expansion of the commercial space on the south side of the stands was accepted this time.

Some of the difficult levels were passed all at once this time.

The stadium budget also quickly rose from the original 1 million euros to 1 million euros.

Although there was an extra 3 million, Yang Cheng was so happy to spend it, it was so worthwhile!

The stadium has a capacity of more than 3 people. After the comprehensive reconstruction, including the east and west stands, the entire stadium will be completely renewed.

The entire renovation will be divided into two phases, mainly the reconstruction of the north and south stands in turn.

The construction period is expected to be 3 years.

In fact, the entire project is even more complicated than demolishing the entire stadium and rebuilding a new one.

The renovation of the east and west stands will be completed within these three years.

It is expected that by 2017, Atlanta will have a brand new modern stadium!

……

"We are doing our best to support you this time, and you must continue to invest resources to ensure Atlanta's success!"

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Yang Cheng, accompanied by Atlanta Chairman Tom Whitley, CEO Pierpaolo Marino and others, had a meal with Mayor Frank Tentorio.

At the dinner table, the mayor of Bergamo made a "request" to Yang Cheng.

"Don't worry, Mayor Tentorio, you should trust my colleagues. They are all very professional people. You have seen the improvement in Atlanta's performance over the past year."

"Indeed, it's like a miracle!" praised Frank Tentorio.

In particular, the recovery of veteran Luca Toni was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

Many people even said that he should return to the national team.

Brother, you are 37 years old and you are returning to the national team?
Have you ever seen anything so outrageous?

This in turn proves that Luca Toni is in really good shape.

Throughout Italy, everyone said: Yang Cheng, you can do magic!

"It's hard to say about results. Football matches are full of uncertainty and the season is too long, but I can guarantee that Atlanta will be stronger in the new season than last season!"

Romulo and Iturbe left, but Cancelo and Perotti were signed.

In addition, there are Dutch international center back De Vrij, French genius Kingsley Coman and Argentine midfielder De Paul.

In addition, there are Cristante and Barrera, who are already somewhat famous in Italy.

Atalanta's signings in the transfer market this summer are basically iterations based on last season.

The strength will definitely be improved.

But the results are really hard to describe.

Problems with players’ integration and adaptation, injuries and ups and downs during the long season.

All of these are difficult to predict and control.

"What I can guarantee is that in the next few years, our investment in Atlanta will only increase, not decrease."

"If I assure you that the team is aiming for the championship, you will definitely not believe it. Our goal is to ensure that we can participate in European competitions stably every season, preferably the Champions League!"

In the past two or three years, Serie A has three places in the Champions League, but the third place has to participate in the play-offs.

But in Yang Cheng's previous life, UEFA later reformed the Champions League system. Starting from 2018, the top four leagues in European competition points will get four places in the competition.

Of course, Yang Cheng’s goal is still quite challenging.

The most important thing is that teams like Napoli are indeed strong, and Benítez is also a famous coach in Europe.

Luca Toni’s outstanding performance played a big role in the team’s success last season.

Everyone in the team coached by Gasperini is relatively unfamiliar.

But they emerged as a dark horse last season, and they will definitely receive more attention and targeted restraint in the future.

But Yang Cheng's promise was already a huge surprise for Atlanta.

You know, before being acquired by Yang Cheng, Atlanta, which had been established for more than 7 years, had only won championship trophies.

5 Serie B titles and 1 Serie C title.

The most significant one is the Italian Cup championship in the 62/63 season.

Therefore, for such a team, being able to participate in European competitions stably is a miracle in itself.

From this point, we can also see what a big surprise it will be for the fans in Bergamo if the team reaches the Champions League this season.

However, if Frank Tentorio knew what Yang Cheng was thinking, he would probably be even more shocked.

Can't even believe it.

In Yang Cheng's opinion, Serie A is now like a group of noobs fighting each other.

Atlanta may not be without a chance, they can fight for the championship!
Not to mention anything else, this Atlanta team and this lineup were formed by him. Yang Cheng knows how strong they are. If Gasperini integrates the team well and adjusts their status, it is not impossible for them to win the championship.

Juventus?

Compared to history, without players like Pirlo, Pogba, Chiellini and Lichtsteiner, how much strength does this Juventus have left?

That is to say, he is just showing off his power within Serie A!

Of course, when Yang Cheng does things, especially in front of such government officials, he must be conservative and reserved.

……

While Yang Cheng was in Italy, the team's training was led by Flick and Brian Kidd.

Although Frick was new to the company, Yang Cheng entrusted him with important tasks and asked him to get right down to work.

This is the assistant coach who just led the German national team to the World Cup championship, and his hands are still warm.

There is a saying that goes, whether you have the ability or not will become clear once you start doing something.

When Yang Cheng returned to London, Brian Kidd gave him a very high evaluation.

The ability is not particularly clear at the moment, but I think it must be excellent.

But the two most striking advantages are that he considers everything comprehensively and meticulously, and personally handles every detail.

Another thing is that he is very friendly, good at communication, and leaves a good impression on the players.

Yang Cheng remembered an interesting thing he had heard in his previous life.

As early as 2014, before Germany prepared for the World Cup, Löw paid more attention to passing and controlling the ball.

After comprehensive consideration, Flick felt that it was inappropriate for the team not to practice set-piece tactics, so he raised this issue with Löw.

As a result, it was thanks to the set-piece tactics that the German team was able to finally win the World Cup championship!
From this point, we can see that Frick is indeed very detailed and comprehensive when considering issues.

Afterwards, Yang Cheng also communicated with the players to understand their opinions on the new coach.

Overall, it's basically positive.

The only problem is that his English is really bad.

According to them, Flick's English level should be limited to some specific football terms.

But Yang Cheng was not worried and just asked the club to arrange an English teacher for him.

In his impression, Flick spoke fluent English when he coached Barcelona.

From this we can see that he should have no problem mastering English.

After Yang Cheng returned to London, the team set off from London and headed for the east coast of the United States.

This was the first time that the Chinese from Bayswater had set foot in the United States after an absence of several years, and they were warmly welcomed by American fans.

Today, the Chinese team at Bayswater has won five consecutive Premier League titles and are now three consecutive Champions League titles!

Such a team came to the United States and immediately caused a wave in the United States.

Especially players like Gareth Bale, Walcott, Modric, Toni Kroos, etc., who are well-known to ordinary American fans.

As for players such as Harry Kane, Aaron Ramsey, Sterling and others who have emerged in recent years, there is no need to mention them.

To quote the New York Times: The Chinese in Bayswater have created a football tornado in North America!
Although ICC no longer has a competitor like the World Football Challenge in the past few years, it has been constantly iterating and advancing itself.

The influence of the International Champions Cup is also expanding.

Whether it is the preparation of the event or the marketing and promotion, it is obviously more professional and more powerful than in the past few years.

After several years of development, the scale of the company is no longer comparable to what it was back then.

There is one thing that best reflects their ability to organize competitions.

The Bayswater Chinese team's East Coast training camp is held at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

And it is located on the campus of Harvard University, using three football fields and the school's sports center.

The facilities are complete and except for Harvard students, the students are rarely disturbed by outsiders.

As for the public training sessions open to fans, they are basically arranged in the stadium the day before the game, together with the field familiarization training, which is obviously more scientific and reasonable.

During this training camp and practice in the United States, Yang Cheng basically started to let go.

Routine training and preparations are basically handled by Frick and Brian Kidd.

After the team arrived in the United States and took a short rest, they immediately had their first warm-up match.

Fly to Toronto, Canada, and play a friendly match with Toronto FC.

This is also a warm-up event arranged by the ICC.

It was also the first time in history that the Chinese from Bayswater played a game in Canada and they were warmly welcomed by Canadian fans.

Bayswater Chinese lived up to expectations and defeated Toronto FC 7-0.

The exciting game and numerous goals made Canadian fans very excited.

The Bayswater Chinese also showed everyone their good competitive form.

Afterwards, the team played two consecutive warm-up matches in the United States, against the New York Red Bulls and Club America of Mexico respectively.

The Chinese team from Bayswater had the advantage in terms of strength and won both warm-up matches.

In the International Champions Cup, the opponents this time are Nice from Ligue 1, Dortmund from the Bundesliga and Barcelona from La Liga.

In 3 games, Bayswater Chinese got 2 wins and 1 draw.

The draw was a 2-2 draw with Klopp's Dortmund.

After finishing first in the group, Yang Cheng led the team to Bristol, Tennessee.

The Bristol racetrack has now become the venue for the annual International Champions Cup American finals.

Moreover, the annual attendance rate has steadily reached more than 15 people.

Such an attendance rate naturally makes ICC company love it.

Everyone was also very moved that the planning and investment of ICC company at that time created such a world-famous football stadium, which is indeed a good story.

The opponent in this final is Guardiola's Manchester City.

Unfortunately, in the final, Bayswater Chinese lost 1-2 to Manchester City.

After winning the North American Championship, the Blue Moon then defeated Ancelotti's Galacticos 2-0 at the Prudential Stadium in London and won this year's International Champions Cup championship!
Guardiola's team defeated Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayswater Chinese and Real Madrid in succession to win the International Champions Cup. They had already taken the lead before the start of the season.

Everyone has also seen that after a season of running-in, Messi has completely integrated into Manchester City.

Manchester City players have basically adapted to Guardiola's passing and controlling style of play.

The joining of Reus has made Manchester City even more powerful.

……

After the International Champions Cup final, Prudential Stadium became popular again.

The new season is getting closer and closer.

Every summer, before the Premier League starts, the issue of tickets is inevitable.

Especially this year.

Prices of Premier League tickets for the new season are generally increasing, the only difference is how much they increase.

This has been the norm over the past few years.

Generally speaking, the increase is between 2-4%.

Arsenal, for example, has increased by 3% this year.

In a capitalist society, this is called anti-inflation.

Among the Big 6 teams, Manchester City had the largest increase, reaching 10%.

Obviously, after winning the league title last season and with the addition of superstars such as Messi and Reus, Manchester City has begun planning to increase ticket prices to generate revenue on match days.

This is the second consecutive season that Manchester City has significantly increased ticket prices.

In the Premier League last season, Manchester City’s lowest-priced season ticket increased by 8%, and the highest-priced season ticket increased by 5%.

This season, both the highest and lowest prices have increased by another 10%.

However, even so, Manchester City is still far behind Manchester United.

The Red Devils have raised prices continuously before, and now the lowest tier of season tickets is as high as 532 pounds, and the highest tier is 950 pounds.

After the price increase, Manchester City's prices are only 329 pounds and 859 pounds.

There is still a big gap with Manchester United.

Even after the price increase, Manchester City's lowest ticket price is still one of the lowest in the Premier League, similar to Aston Villa.

London has the highest ticket prices in the UK.

In London, the lowest season ticket price is £660 at Bayswater Chinese.

It seems more expensive than Chelsea's 595 and West Ham United's 640 pounds, but don't forget that Bayswater Chinese played 22 games, including 3 Champions League games.

But Chelsea and West Ham United only have 19.

The teams with the highest lowest ticket prices are Tottenham and Arsenal.

Among them, both the minimum and maximum ticket prices for the Gunners have increased.

Arsenal's lowest ticket price is now over £1, reaching £1014.

The highest ticket price was £2013.

The cost of watching football for Chinese fans in Bayswater is still the lowest in the London area.

This also leads to every game at Prudential Arena being basically full, and season tickets are in great demand.

Before the start of the new season, Bayswater Chinese held a press conference.

In addition to media reporters, there were also many fan representatives present.

Adam Crozier announced that starting from the 15/16 season, Bayswater Chinese will officially adjust the team's season ticket sales channels and fully adopt an online sales model.

Using the current Bayswater Chinese official website and membership APP as channels, all fans and members can purchase season tickets online and queue at the same time.

Adam Crozier said this was to better serve the fans.

Because the official registration website and membership APP adopt a real-name system, the queuing is also based on real-name registration.

"As of July, all 7 season tickets offered by our club for the 2014/15 season have been sold out!"

Adam Crozier's words surprised everyone present.

Manchester United only has 5 season tickets, and they haven't been sold out yet.

Of course, the Red Devils' season tickets are not hard to sell, they just sell slowly. But the fact that Bayswater Chinese are so popular is enough to prove how in short supply they are now.

"As of today, we have counted that the number of fans waiting in line through various channels has reached more than 3, and the number is still rising."

If the previous number was surprising, this one will make people gasp.

What do you mean?
The new season hasn't even started yet, but there are already more than 3 people queuing up, waiting for others to return their season tickets and get in.

"In addition, so far this season, except for the tickets reserved for our partner organizations, all our tickets for all shows that were publicly sold to the public have been sold out!"

This is the real devil of the Premier League!
Adam Crozier said that fans' recognition of the Chinese in Bayswater is increasing, and more and more fans are queuing up, which has led to many chaos.

Therefore, the club decided to reorganize its channels and focus on online ticket purchase and queuing.

Because the real-name system is adopted and fans’ membership points are accumulated, it is more convenient to serve fans.

In addition, Adam Crozier also announced that starting from the 15/16 season, the team will reform the season ticket structure.

It turns out that the season ticket for Chinese people at Bayswater is for 22 games, which is 19 Premier League games plus 3 Champions League group matches.

But now, the team is going to reform and extract the three Champions League group matches and turn them into a separate package.

The public statement is that some fans do not actually have time to watch the Champions League during the week.

The club's actions can give fans more freedom of choice.

Of course Yang Cheng knew the real reason.

On the one hand, Bayswater Chinese’s home ground appeal was not strong enough in the past, and there were not enough fans entering the stadium, so they had to rely on the Champions League to attract fans to buy season tickets.

But everyone knows that the ticket prices for the Champions League have always been much more expensive than those for the Premier League.

The Bayswater Chinese model itself is a form of concession.

Now that the team’s brand has been established, there is no need to worry about home game attendance.

Last season, the number of Chinese people queuing for season tickets at Bayswater reached a peak of 15.

What is this concept?
Even if all season ticket holders were to be refunded, there would be no problem replacing two waves of people.

This is the influence of the Chinese in Bayswater now!

In this case, the team doesn't need to make any more concessions.

Therefore, separating the two events will be beneficial for price increases and revenue generation.

To give a simple example, after the separation, the lowest ticket price for Chinese at Bayswater is only £570.

what is this concept?

The lowest fare at Southampton is £585.

Chelsea is £595.

West Ham United is £640.

Liverpool is £710.

Tottenham is £795.

Not to mention Arsenal.

Under these circumstances, is the price increase by Bayswater Chinese excessive?

Of course, from the perspective of humanitarian care, Adam Crozier promised that Bayswater Chinese will continue to maintain the lowest ticket prices.

"In the past few years, our team's revenue has been improving. Therefore, starting from 2015, the lowest ticket price will remain unchanged in the next three years to give back to the fans who have supported us in the past few years!"

Adam Crozier also did not forget to hint at other competitors.

"We could actually increase the minimum ticket price by another £200, which would give us at least an extra £400 million in revenue, but what's the point of that?"

"When our club's owner, Mr. Yang Cheng, met with us to discuss this matter, he said something that left a very deep impression on me."

"He said that an increase of £400 million would not mean much to a club like us with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue each year, but an increase of £200 would make a world of difference to fans who buy our lowest season ticket!"

"We are different from all other clubs. We are committed to letting more fans appreciate our football!"

“This is the philosophy of us Chinese in Bayswater!”

When the audience heard this, there was a burst of warm applause.

At a time when prices are generally rising in the Premier League, the approach taken by the Chinese at Bayswater is undoubtedly unique.

Of course, there will certainly be people who question whether the Chinese in Bayswater are both powerful and insolent.

This controversy has been going on for the past few years.

The simplest point is, why is the number of season tickets with the lowest price decreasing every year?
In the past, when sales were made through third-party channels, media reporters were still able to obtain intelligence. Now that sales are made through the official website and member app, will the data be kept confidential from the outside world?

Can you, Bayswater Chinese, maintain this character by only offering one minimum fare?
Adam Crozier said with a smile, "We welcome all media friends to supervise us!"

This time, the Chinese in Bayswater are playing their cards openly.

……

If the uniform team at Grosvenor Square is playing an open card, then at the Brent Training Center, Yang Cheng is also making some reforms and adjustments.

With Pogba's transfer, there are only 23 players in Bayswater's Chinese first team this season.

Goalkeepers: Courtois, Robert Green;

Defence: Pepe, Thiago Silva, Piszczek, Marcelo, Kyle Walker, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, John Stones and Van Dijk;

Midfield: Matic, Modric, Toni Kroos, Aaron Ramsey, De Bruyne and Casemiro;

Forwards: Harry Kane, Giroud, Gareth Bale, Walcott, Hazard and Sterling.

In the past few years, Yang Cheng has always adhered to the strategy of focusing on quality rather than quantity.

The number of players in the first team has always been controlled between 23 and 25.

So, now there are 23 people, and I don’t think there is any problem.

But players including Flick, Brian Kidd, Dan Ashworth, Mike Rigg and Matt Crocker all suggested to Yang Cheng that more young players should be arranged to join the first team and train together.

The reasons are actually very sufficient.

For example, Patrick Roberts.

At his age of 17, it is the most common practice for Premier League teams to loan him out for training.

But is it effective?
In fact, as we all know, the results are really bad.

Because it is difficult for loaned-out players to be valued by the other side, let alone cultivated, it is also a blow to the players' growth.

After all, why should others help you train players?
But among the current group of players in Bayswater Chinese team, who are around 17 to 19 years old, there are actually quite a few who are really good.

Not to mention Patrick Roberts, like Nathaniel Chalobah, Solanke and so on.

According to Matt Crocker, for players of this age group, playing in the U21 league is already quite good.

But if we can go a step further and let them follow the first team and train with the best players in the world, "this will definitely be the biggest motivation for them and a very valuable asset!"

Moreover, the first-team now actually has abundant resources.

Dan Ashworth believes that selecting outstanding players from the echelon to join the first team at the age of 17 will be the best reward for young players.

Because all the players are proud to play for the Bayswater Chinese first team!

I train with the first team, play most of the games in the U21 league, and play in the League Cup and FA Cup when I have the chance.

This is enough for young players.

If he performs better, like Sterling, he will gradually gain a foothold in the first team.

It even started to shine.

Even if the players fail to meet the requirements of the first team and are forced to leave the team, their value will be higher than when they were in the youth team.

All in all, no matter from which perspective you look at it, this is a good thing for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Flick mentioned a point that was consistent with Yang Cheng's, that is, this kind of motivation is not just for young players.

This also applies to first-team players!

Bayswater Chinese have no new players joining this season, with the exception of Casemiro who joined in January.

This is not a good thing!
But the team's lineup remains stable, which is conducive to the team's continued high-level performance.

The premise is to be able to better motivate the team.

What could be better than bringing in young players and injecting fresh blood?

These players from the youth team are strong, motivated, young and full of energy. They are at the age to fight for their future, so when they enter the first team, they will fight for their lives with the seniors even in training!
I wonder what the older generations would think?
If they really don’t perform as well as these youngsters in normal training, do they still have the nerve to start?

Even more so, if an old senior is accidentally beaten by a youngster, the situation would be very interesting!

Frick can be said to have expressed Yang Cheng's thoughts.

So he decided, in addition to Patrick Roberts, to recruit six players aged 6 to 17 from the youth team.

The youngest among them is the top scorer in the youth team, Dominic Solanke.

The player does not turn 9 until September 14.

Why did Yang Cheng have an impression of him?
Because Yang Cheng’s birthday is September 9th.

One more thing, Solanke was one of the first players recruited by Bayswater Chinese Youth Training Camp.

An interesting thing happened that year.

Solanke and his family live in Basingstoke, 80 kilometers southeast of London.

It would take a little over an hour to get from here to the Brent Training Center, even if you take part of the highway.

It probably only took a few minutes.

When the Chinese from Bayswater signed up, the English Football Association had objections to this.

But Solanke's parents drove several times, taking different routes, and eventually kept the journey to around 59 minutes.

This is how I finally got through it.

Over the past few years, Solanke has performed very well in the youth team of Bayswater Chinese.

It can be said that after Harry Kane, it is Solanke.

For example, although he is not yet 17 years old, he played in the U21 league for the team last season, played 24 games, scored 23 goals, performed extremely well, and helped the team win the U21 League championship and the FA Youth Cup.

It can be said that at this age, his talent is second only to Patrick Roberts.

As early as 2011, the England U16 team couldn't wait to call him up.

12年进U17，13年进U18，今年很可能进U19。

It can be said that he has been skipping grades.

His African ancestry gave him excellent physical fitness, and the training he received from the Chinese in Bayswater since childhood also gave him excellent footwork skills.

So, just like Patrick Roberts, Solanke was also called up to the first team for training in the new season.

Next, he will appear more in the U21 league and represent Bayswater Chinese in the Youth Champions League.

Of course Yang Cheng remembered this young general.

In fact, the tricks his parents used back then were actually suggestions given by Yang Cheng behind the scenes.

Yang Cheng has also been paying silent attention to this young player.

But overall, Solanke's development did not deviate from Yang Cheng's expectations.

His African ancestry gives him excellent physical fitness and athletic ability, which makes him very terrifying on the front line.

At least Yang Cheng has decided to let him and a few peers practice in the first few rounds of the League Cup and FA Cup.

……

October 8th, afternoon, Prudential Arena, London.

In the first round of the Premier League in the 2014/15 season, Bayswater Chinese played against Hull City at home.

This is the first game of the new season and the second game of this round.

At noon, Van Gaal's Manchester United narrowly beat Swansea 2-1 at home.

Everyone can see that the first round of the season is always difficult to play.

As the UEFA Super Cup match was brought forward to August 8, it was held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Bayswater Chinese once again won the championship trophy with Gareth Bale's two goals, which was a good start to the new season.

In the first round of the season, Yang Cheng still sent out all the main players.

Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Van Dijk and Piszczek;

Midfield: Matic drops back, with Toni Kroos and Modric in the middle;
Forwards: Hazard, Harry Kane and Gareth Bale.

Compared to last season, two adjustments were made to the starting lineup.

But this is mainly due to injuries.

Pepe and Giroud were both injured in the previous warm-up matches. The problem is not serious, but they will miss the start of the league.

Facing Hull City, Bayswater Chinese have the advantage in strength.

So, at the beginning of the game, the home team launched a massive attack.

But Hull City adopted a tight defensive posture until the 6th minute, when Harry Kane received a direct pass from Hazard and made a long shot from 23 meters away on the left, which was the first shot of the game.

But in the 16th minute, during a corner kick, Van Dijk headed the ball into the goal in the melee, opening the scoring for the team!

1 is better than 0!

This goal completely broke the deadlock on the field, but Hull City's tight defense continued.

Before the end of the first half, Hull City cleared the ball in front of its own penalty area. After that, Matic made a late run and headed the ball back into the penalty area.

Gareth Bale suddenly made a run forward, forcing Hull City centre-back and former Tottenham player Mike Dawson to make a clearance error.

After grabbing the ball, Gareth Bale protected the ball with his back and returned to the top of the arc.

Harry Kane followed up with a direct shot that penetrated Hull City's goal.

2 is better than 0!

After the second half, Bayswater Chinese continued to control the game.

In the 57th minute, Toni Kroos made a long diagonal pass, Gareth Bale quickly moved forward and headed the ball into the goal in the right corner of the small penalty area, but the referee signaled offside and the goal was invalid.

But just nine minutes later, Modric made a wonderful pass.

Gareth Bale stopped the ball with the outside of his left foot, cut inside and shot with his left foot, and the ball went straight into the upper left corner of the goal.

Although Manchester City controlled the situation on the field, it was actually difficult to effectively break through Liverpool's defense.

One side controls the ball while the other side defends tightly. As you can imagine, such a game is not a good one to play.

The entire first half was basically spent in this stalemate.

But just before the end of the game, something unexpected happened.

Reus suddenly changed his position to the right, dribbled through, and made a cross to Aguero.

But the ball didn't go far.

Messi took the lead and stole the ball, then broke into the front of the small penalty area and shot into the goal.

1 is better than 1!

The competition is completely open!

But when they played freely, Liverpool clearly suffered.

In the 55th minute, David Silva and Messi completed a wonderful two-pass combination, and the Argentine made a wonderful pass with his heel.

Reus broke into the penalty area and passed the ball back to Messi. The unguarded Argentine easily shot into the goal with his left foot.

Without strict defense, Liverpool will not be able to withstand Manchester City's attack!
In the 69th minute, Messi made a straight pass, Aguero received the ball in the penalty area and scored with a low shot.

3 is better than 1!

Just before the end of the game, Lambert, who had just come on as a substitute, received a cross from Sturridge in the small penalty area and headed the ball into the goal, changing the score to 2-3!

Manchester United's away game against Sunderland this round was also full of dangers.

Although Juan Mata scored in the 17th minute, Jack Rodwell equalized the score in the 30th minute.

It was not until the crucial moment of the second half that Cavani's goal helped the Red Devils beat Sunderland 2-1 away.

After two rounds of matches, Yang Cheng's team continued to lead the Premier League standings.
