I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 329: Conquer Bayswater! The top three teams in the Western Super League battle against Yang Cheng! This is the strength of a top midfielder! [Subscribe]

On the evening of March 3, in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Bayswater Chinese visited Villa Park to challenge Aston Villa.

Aston Villa is currently ranked 18th in the Premier League and the situation is precarious.

But there is only a 11-point gap between Aston Villa and Newcastle, which is in 5th place.

In other words, the second half of the league is still very tight.

In the last 10 rounds of the league, all teams can be said to have put in their best efforts.

Under such circumstances, Aston Villa will not send all its main players to this game.

For example, midfielder Cleverley, who was loaned from Manchester United, and the team's youth player Grealish all started the game.

Yang Cheng's team also played with substitutes and a young lineup.

This makes this game, apparently a duel between Premier League teams, but in fact it is a fight between a group of young players.

It was not until the 40th minute of the first half that Sterling assisted Walcott to score a goal.

Helped Bayswater Chinese, who were playing away, enter the halftime break with a 1-goal lead.

After the second half, in the 51st minute, De Bruyne got the ball in the middle of the midfield and made a 45-degree oblique pass. Sterling cut into the left side of the penalty area accurately, received the ball and shot successfully.

2 is better than 0!

Before the end of the game, in the 85th minute, Grealish assisted Sinclair to score.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Aston Villa 2-1 away and successfully advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals.

……

On the evening of April 3th, Prudential Arena, London.

In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match, Bayswater Chinese will face Paris Saint-Germain at home.

Yang Cheng's team had every advantage as they won the first leg 4-1 away from home.

In the second round, Blanco had to adopt a more proactive tactic.

Almost everyone concluded that Paris Saint-Germain had no hope of advancing.

But even so, you still have to show your attitude.

Therefore, as soon as the game started, Paris Saint-Germain, playing away, showed a desperate attitude and launched a very active and fierce pressing on the Chinese players from Bayswater in the entire frontcourt.

There is a momentum of not giving up until the game is won.

Yang Cheng and the coaching staff had anticipated from the very beginning that the opponent would do this.

They have no choice!
Both sides fought very fiercely.

Just three minutes into the game for Paris Saint-Germain, former Inter Milan center back Kamara fouled Giroud while defending him and was given a yellow card.

Kamara, who is only 1 meters tall and will soon be 82 years old, is indeed at a disadvantage when defending the young, strong and tall Giroud.

But there is no way, this is a mistake made by Paris Saint-Germain when forming the team.

They put too much emphasis on the midfield and frontcourt and neglected the central defenders.

In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Blanc arranged Kimpembe to start, but the young central defender lacked experience and the entire defense line of Paris Saint-Germain was beaten into a sieve by the opponent.

Now, playing away, Blanco chose veteran Kamara.

But in this way, the two short central defenders Kamara and Marquinhos were really passive when they met Giroud.

In the 13th minute of the game, Bayswater Chinese got the ball in their own half.

Paris Saint-Germain took the initiative to put pressure forward.

When Ibrahimovic saw Toni Kroos get the ball, he rushed over immediately.

Seeing Toni Kroos pass the ball back to Matic, the Swedish center rushed towards Matic again.

Next it was given to Thiago Silva who was the last one to finish.

Ibrahimovic chased after the Brazilian center back again.

The same is basically true for the players around Paris Saint-Germain.

The game is already 13 minutes in and they haven't been able to form any threatening attack yet. How can they fight for the qualification?

When Thiago Silva received the ball outside the arc in his own half, he saw Ibrahimovic rushing towards him, so he immediately dribbled to the right and quickly made a low pass.

Modric retreated from the front and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

In this game, Paris Saint-Germain's starting trident was Pastore, Ibrahimovic and Lucas Moura.

Pastore was close to Modric's side. When he saw Modric retreating to ask for the ball, he immediately left Piszczek behind and rushed towards Modric.

The Argentines are calculating.

He just wanted to take advantage of Modric's back to him and steal the ball when he received it.

Facing Toni Kroos, Pastore's physical advantage may not be obvious enough, but facing Modric, he can.

The Argentine quickly came from behind, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

He hasn't noticed me yet!
But just as Pastore got behind Modric and Modric was about to stop the ball with his back to the attacking direction, the Croatian suddenly lowered his left shoulder and tried to turn towards the right sideline.

This made Pastore secretly happy and he responded immediately.

But as soon as they took this step, the Argentines knew they were finished.

Why are you turning around when you haven’t even caught the ball?

His action just now was completely subconscious and he was deceived by Modric.

Sure enough, Modric seemed to be turning from the outside, but in fact he stopped the ball with the outside of his right foot and immediately turned towards the middle.

As soon as he turned around, he followed with his left foot and the whole person started moving.

Pastore's reaction was very quick and he stabilized his balance in the first moment.

But Modric was faster. He stopped the ball, turned around, and passed directly past Pastore.

By the time the Argentine turned around, Modric had already rushed over with the ball.

Oh my God, this is the strength of the world's top midfielder!
Does he have eyes in the back of his head?
Didn't he see me?
Or did he actually see me a long time ago but just pretended not to?

Did he see it or not?

Just when Pastore was in a dilemma, after Modric rushed forward with the ball, the first person who ran over to intercept him was Matuidi.

But the French midfielder did not expect that Pastore would be thrown over in an instant, causing him to misjudge the timing.

He rushed over a little too aggressively. Modric was originally dribbling the ball diagonally towards the middle, but suddenly he changed direction and went straight forward.

After avoiding Matuidi, Modric dribbled the ball to the center line.

Kabaye rushed over immediately and slid to the ground, trying to intercept both the player and the ball outside his own half.

But Modric reacted quickly, pushed the ball forward first, and accelerated to catch up.

Kabaye's sliding tackle hit the air directly.

But Modric continued to dribble the ball forward, heading straight for the 30-meter area of ​​Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris Saint-Germain's defense line was constantly retreating, and all attention fell on Gareth Bale on the right.

Everyone knows that Modric plays better on the right side and with Gareth Bale.

But just as Modric dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area of ​​​​Paris Saint-Germain, he suddenly sent a diagonal pass with the inside of his right foot.

The ball passed between Marquinhos and Kamara and fell to the left side of the penalty area.

Kamara turned around and chased back immediately.

He saw a red figure quickly cut into the penalty area from the left.

It's Hazard!

He subconsciously reached out and placed his hand on Hazard's shoulder, trying to pull the Belgian winger hard.

But he hesitated.

Because he already had a yellow card.

It's not important to hold the player and give the opponent a free kick outside the penalty area.

The key is that he must get a card.

If we get a red card after 13 minutes, we don't have to play this game.

And at the moment when Kamara hesitated, Hazard broke free from the French defender's hand, received the ball and dribbled into the left side of the penalty area. Facing the attacking Sirigu, the Belgian calmly shot the ball into the Paris Saint-Germain goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 13th minute of the first half, Bayswater Chinese took the lead at home!"

"Goal from Hazard!"

"The Belgian teenager performed very well!"

"Of course, the main contributor to this goal should be Modric."

"It was his long-distance dribbling that provided Hazard with such a wonderful assist!"

"Gareth Bale distracted his teammates from the defense, but the goal was scored by Hazard!"

The entire Prudential Arena instantly erupted in thunderous cheers.

All the fans were shouting at the top of their lungs.

The Bayswater Chinese players were celebrating with ecstasy.

1 is better than 0!

The total score is 5 to 1!

How does Paris Saint-Germain chase?
……

After Hazard's goal, the game became an open situation.

Just five minutes later, Paris Saint-Germain also created a chance.

Matuidi dribbled into the left side of the penalty area and made a wonderful heel pass, and Ibrahimovic shot into the goal from the edge of the small penalty area.

1 is better than 1!

Both sides returned to the same starting line.

But when it comes to offensive games, the Chinese in Bayswater are never afraid.

The Chinese in Bayswater quickly put the pressure on Paris Saint-Germain.

In the 34th minute, Hazard received the ball on the left side outside the penalty area. Facing Van der Wiel's defense, the Belgian made a series of feints, successfully shook off Van der Wiel, and sent a cross from the left.

Giroud in the middle quickly followed up and headed the ball into the goal, beating Kamara.

2 is better than 1!

All the fans in the stadium cheered again!

In the end, the first half ended 2-1.

After the change of sides in the second half, Paris Saint-Germain continued to launch an attack.

In the 48th minute, Lucas Moura dribbled the ball on the right side of the penalty area, deceived Luke Shaw with a series of feints, turned around and made a low cross to the front of the goal.

Ibrahimovic fell to the ground and shot in front of the goal.

The ball hit the side net.

But the Bayswater Chinese soon responded.

In the 70th minute, the Bayswater Chinese intercepted the ball in their own half and passed it to Toni Kroos.

The German midfielder made a long diagonal pass and sent the ball accurately to the front court.

Giroud quickly cut in to the right side outside the penalty area, and when the ball fell, he stopped the ball directly to the middle with the inside of his left foot.

Gareth Bale sprinted forward at lightning speed, caught up with Giroud's pass, and dribbled to the left side of the arc.

When he caught up with the ball again, Gareth Bale fired a direct and thunderous long shot.

The football was like a missile, and it flew into the left side of Paris Saint-Germain's goal at an extremely fast speed.

3 is better than 1!

The total score is 7 to 2!

With 20 minutes left in the game, Paris Saint-Germain had little chance.

In the final stage of the game, both sides had obviously basically accepted the result.

Especially Yang Cheng's team.

There were continuous substitutions.

And when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the whole stadium fell into carnival again.

7 is better than 2!

The Bayswater Chinese have once again made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
And the gap is so astonishing!

At this moment, fans in the stands of Prudential Arena began to stand up from their seats and shouted Yang Cheng's name loudly.

More and more fans stood up and shouted.

Finally, the entire stadium, all 9 people stood up.

They first shouted Yang Cheng's name for a long time, followed by Modric, and then Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos and other players.

After all the players had shouted, they shouted in the stands, "Champions League! Champions League!! Champions League!!!"

"I wonder if the fans in front of the TV can hear the shouts from the 9 Chinese fans in Bayswater at the Prudential Stadium. They are all shouting for the Champions League in unison."

"Although they have won three consecutive championships, it seems that they are still eager for the Champions League!"

"Yes, in the past few decades, no team has ever won the Champions League for four consecutive years!"

“Never!”

"The performance of Bayswater Chinese was very strong, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 7-2, showing everyone the invincible strength of this team."

……

On the afternoon of May 3th, the 14th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Crystal Palace away.

As a famous Premier League coach, Alan Pardew is also keeping up with the times.

Playing at home, they tried to threaten Bayswater Chinese through passing, controlling the ball, and having core players take the ball from the start, which was a bit like attacking instead of defending.

Alan Pardew relies on former Manchester United striker Campbell and winger Zaha.

This team on the south bank of the Thames has a huge talent pool, plus the spillover of youth training from top teams such as Bayswater Chinese, Chelsea and Arsenal.

All of these make Crystal Palace's overall strength quite good.

The most typical example is Zaha.

He is an African-American player from the south bank of the Thames.

As a winger, the 22-year-old Zaha is a young star. He was spotted by Ferguson early on and signed to Manchester United at a high price. This is the best evidence.

This season, he was loaned back to Crystal Palace from Manchester United and performed very well, so he was bought out by Crystal Palace during the winter break.

There's no way, the price is too cheap, only 300 million pounds.

Crystal Palace is actually a very interesting team that is worth discussing.

There are actually many players like Zaha in this team.

Is Zaha strong?
Almost everyone who has seen him play football will think that this guy is very strong.

There is no doubt about personal ability.

He has dribbling, speed, physical confrontation, all the abilities that a top winger has.

The key is that he is really outstanding.

This season in the Premier League, he averages 2.8 dribbles per game. Isn’t that impressive?

But there will definitely be many people wondering.

How come no top teams are interested in such a great winger?
There are actually many players like this, such as Saint-Maximin who played for Newcastle in Yang Cheng’s previous life.

If we analyze in depth, it is easy to find that these players actually have obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Take Zaha this season as an example.

Although he averages 2.8 successful dribbles per game, in reality, he only makes 0.5 key passes in each game.

In other words, he only sent one threatening ball in two games.

This can intuitively reflect the problems Zaha encountered.

In addition, as a Premier League player, and a winger at that, Zaha's pass success rate this season is only 73%.

Most of his passes came in the frontcourt, with 71% in the frontcourt and 77% in the midfield.

The cross success rate is only 18%.

It is very clear from the data that Zaha is actually a winger who can only dribble past opponents but does not pose much threat.

Make the most intuitive comparison.

Among the four wingers in the Bayswater Chinese team, Gareth Bale should not be used to bully others.

Hazard averages 4.8 dribbles per game in the Premier League, and in the Champions League, it is as high as 7.3 times.

The Belgian averages 2.6 key passes per game, with an 87% pass success rate and a 25% cross success rate.

Let’s not talk about Hazard, let’s talk about Walcott.

The little tiger's average number of dribbles per game is 1.5, which is much less than Zaha, right?

But his average key passes per game is 1.3.

In addition, his pass success rate is 83%, the midfield pass success rate is 90%, the frontcourt is 78%, and the cross success rate is 31%.

Among the three players, Sterling and Zaha actually have the closest number of dribbles.

Sterling averages 2.9 dribbles per game.

But his average key passes per game is as high as 2.1, which is four times that of Zaha.

The pass success rate is 81% and the cross success rate is 22%.

And everyone knows that Bayswater Chinese are not a team that is keen on crossing the ball.

From the comparison of these players, it is easy to see why Zaha cannot gain a foothold in a top team.

But his strength is indeed very strong.

The current Crystal Palace team actually has a group of players like Zaha.

It has distinct characteristics and strong strength, but also obvious shortcomings.

If Zaha's passing ability is stronger, he can definitely play a role player in a top team.

But unfortunately, his passing success rate is too low.

In this game against Crystal Palace, Yang Cheng's strategy was to open up the right side and let Zaha lead the way.

This is a bit like what is said in ancient Chinese military tactics: when an army is surrounded, there must be a gap.

Just seven minutes into the game, Marcelo intercepted Zaha's pass and quickly launched a counterattack.

After receiving a through pass from Modric, Gareth Bale got ahead of the defender and poked the ball into the right side of the penalty area. He then accelerated and calmly shot the ball into the goal from the right side of the penalty area, opening the scoring for the Chinese in Bayswater.

1 is better than 0!

Just before the end of the first half, there was a quick counterattack after the ball was intercepted in the midfield.

Gareth Bale stopped the ball and cut inside on the right side of the penalty area, then suddenly shot.

After goalkeeper Speroni saved the ball, Harry Kane made a follow-up shot in the small penalty area and scored another goal for the team.

2 is better than 0!

After the change of sides in the second half, Azaha got the ball in the penalty area again, but he hesitated and did not shoot immediately. His shot was blocked in time by Thiago Silva and went out of the penalty area.

Casemiro instigated a counterattack.

Gareth Bale drove straight into the penalty area with the ball, suddenly stopped on the right side, dribbled past the defender, and shot with his left foot to score another goal for the team.

3 is better than 0!

Gareth Bale scored twice!

At this moment, the game has completely entered garbage time.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Crystal Palace 3-0 away from home thanks to Gareth Bale's two goals.

In the same round, Arsenal beat West Ham United 3-0 at home.

Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at home.

Liverpool beat Swansea 1-0 away.

Manchester City beat Burnley 1-0 away.

Only Chelsea drew 1-1 with Southampton at home.

Mourinho's team scored after 11 minutes through Diego Costa.

But in the 19th minute, Saints striker Tadic equalized the score.

Neither side was able to score any more goals after that.

1-1, the two teams shook hands and made peace.

……

After the 29th round of the Premier League, the Chinese in Bayswater had a week of rest.

The second legs of the remaining four Champions League round of 4 knockout matches will be played in the middle of the week.

After all the games were played, the results were still somewhat surprising.

Previously, the top four Premier League teams all advanced from the Champions League group stage, but after the round of 4 knockout stage, Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City both advanced with big wins, and Arsenal also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

But Liverpool, which has performed poorly this season, was eliminated in the round of 16. Mancini's team lost to Juventus in the round of 16.

In this Italian "derby" battle, Mancini's team's performance was indeed very poor.

And the team has also exposed many problems at present.

Nowadays, British media have said that Mancini is likely to be sacked after the end of this season.

Obviously, no one thinks that Mancini has the ability to turn around Liverpool's current predicament.

Teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have also advanced one after another, so there is no problem with that.

Among them, Real Madrid defeated Atalanta.

Gasperini's team lost 3-4 at home and 1-2 away against Ancelotti's Real Madrid, both narrow defeats.

But in the end they lost to Real Madrid with a total score of 4-6 and were eliminated in the round of 16.

This is a very good result for Atalanta, which is participating in the Champions League for the first time.

At the very least, it's better than the Red Wolves Roma being eliminated in the group stage.

The real upset comes from Nice in Ligue 1.

这支法甲球队在16强淘汰赛里先是客场3比1击败了拜仁慕尼黑，接着在主场1比1战平了德甲球队。

In the end, Nice eliminated the Bundesliga champions from the Champions League with a total score of 4-2.

In this way, the top eight teams of this season's Champions League have just been announced.

Three teams made it into the Premier League, namely Bayswater Chinese, Manchester City and Arsenal.

Three teams also made it to La Liga, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Nice team entered the French Ligue 1.

Juventus has entered Serie A.

The Bundesliga was completely wiped out!

After the results came out, the German media was filled with grief.

They all couldn't accept the embarrassing situation that all the Bundesliga teams were eliminated.

But we have to admit that the Bundesliga today is indeed inferior in skills.

Whether it is Heynckes' Bayern or Klopp's Dortmund, they obviously do not have the strength to dominate European football.

Especially Klopp.

Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga has declined significantly this season, and the German boxer is currently facing the threat of being fired.

After the draw, the matchups for the quarter-finals were also released.

Nice from Ligue 1 met Juventus from Serie A.

Real Madrid in La Liga encountered their city rivals Atletico Madrid.

Manchester City of the Premier League encountered Arsenal, a team from the same country.

The Chinese in Bayswater faced Barcelona coached by Luis Enrique.

This kind of quarterfinal showdown is actually quite interesting.

No matter how the game is played, by the semi-finals, there will be at most two Premier League teams or two La Liga teams.

And according to the results of the draw for the quarter-finals, the winner between Bayswater Chinese and Barcelona will enter the semi-finals and face the winner between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, after the draw results came out, many people asserted that this was the Chinese team from Bayswater that was surrounded by the three strongest teams in the Spanish Super League to suppress Yang Cheng!

It is not easy for Yang Cheng's team to break out of the encirclement of the top three teams in the Spanish Super League.

There is no need to mention Real Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid was the runner-up of the Champions League last season. Even though Simeone's team has sold a lot of players, its overall strength is still very strong.

This also makes many people worried about the future situation of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Some British media even believed that this was intended to stop the Chinese from Bayswater from winning four consecutive championships!
The first leg of the quarter-finals will be held on April 8.

……

This weekend, the 30th round of the Premier League.

Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 at home.

Manchester United beat Liverpool 94-2 away from home thanks to a controversial penalty from Rooney in the 1th minute of stoppage time.

Gerrard was sent off with a red card in the first minute of the second half.

This Red Devils derby is still very popular.

Chelsea beat Hull City 3-2 away from home.

Arsenal beat Newcastle 2-1 away.

Bayswater Chinese beat Moyes' Everton 2-1 at home.

Gareth Bale scored in the 18th minute.
Everton's right-back Coleman equalized the score in the 65th minute.

Walcott scored another goal for the team in the 77th minute.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated their opponents 2-1.

After 30 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese scored 85 points and ranked first in the Premier League.

Manchester City ranked second with 79 points.

The two teams have opened up a gap of 6 points, but there are still 8 rounds of the league left and everything remains suspenseful.

Mourinho's Chelsea ranked third with 70 points.

Arsenal is in fourth place with 66 points.

Manchester United is in fourth place with 64 points.

Liverpool is in fourth place with 55 points.

Judging from the current overall situation, it is highly likely that the Chinese from Bayswater will win the Premier League title this season.

But Manchester City still did not give up and continued to keep pressure on the Chinese in Bayswater.

In the battle for the top four in the league, Arsenal currently has a 2-point advantage, but the situation remains very dangerous.

Manchester United is also currently making preparations for both scenarios.

On the one hand, they are trying their best to reach the top four in the league.

But on the other hand, the Red Devils are also committed to the Europa League.

As early as two years ago, UEFA announced that it would reform the seeding teams for the Europa League and the Champions League group stage.

Among them, the Europa League champion can directly qualify for the Champions League group stage.

Manchester United and Chelsea are now both competing in the Europa League and have both reached the round of 16.

British media analyzed that if the Red Devils fail to make the top four in the league, they will still be able to play in the Champions League next season as long as they win the Europa League.

……

After the 30th round of the Premier League, the European league was temporarily suspended and the national team started two weeks of training.

In March and April, players are generally physically tired, which is the peak period for injuries.

Therefore, the Chinese in Bayswater pay close attention to the national team's training and games and keep in touch with them at all times.

In this regard, the Chinese in Bayswater have very rich experience and are extremely careful.

Frick is very meticulous in his work, and after Yang Cheng handed the matter over to him, he felt much less worried.

Fortunately, the players did not encounter any problems in the national team.

After returning to the Premier League, the 31st round of the Premier League arrived immediately.

As soon as Arsenal players came back, they faced a strong dialogue.

The opponent is Liverpool.

As a result, Wenger's team defeated Liverpool 4-1 at home.

Mancini's team's performance this season is really too poor.

Van Gaal's Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-1 at home.

Chelsea beat Stoke City 2-1 at home.

Manchester City conceded a goal away from home, but then reversed the game against Crystal Palace 2-1 thanks to goals from Messi and Toure.

By the way, Yang Cheng’s previous guess was not wrong at all.

In the absence of Iniesta and Xavi at Manchester City, Guardiola and Yaya Toure actually get along well.

Bayswater Chinese will challenge West Bromwich Albion away in this round.

Yang Cheng still adopted a strategy of large-scale rotation, so the South American players and the international players who played two full games for the national team were all placed on the bench.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Hazard received a wonderful pass from Harry Kane and scored the first goal for the team.

In the 37th minute, Hazard returned the favor by breaking through on the left and assisting Harry Kane to score another goal.

2 is better than 0!

Just before the end of the first half, Aaron Ramsey assisted Walcott to score a goal.

3 is better than 0!

Although West Bromwich Albion scored a goal in the second half, Aaron Ramsey broke into the penalty area and scored.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat the Knickers 4-1 away.

……

A week later, on April 4, it was the 11nd round of the Premier League.

On April 4, the day before this round of competition, Yang Cheng received the latest news from the Netherlands.

Over the past month, Twente has not submitted their financial improvement plan as scheduled, nor has it met the financial targets required by the Dutch Football Association.

They did not even submit any information about Ziyech's transfer or the agreement between Twente and Chief Sports, nor did they make any explanation to the Dutch Football Association.

In view of this, the Dutch Football Association decided to punish Twente again and deduct three seasons' points.

That is to say, so far, Twente will be deducted 6 points.

The Dutch Football Association also stated that Twente must submit all relevant explanations and make public the content of the agreement between Twente and Chief Sports before June 6, before the summer transfer window opens.

If Twente still refuses to cooperate, the Dutch Football Association Executive Committee will hold a meeting to discuss whether to grant Twente the qualification to participate in the new season of the Eredivisie.

As soon as the announcement of the Dutch Football Association came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in the entire Dutch football world.

Although Twente is not a traditional giant, it is also a strong team in the Eredivisie.

It is really sad that it has fallen to this state now.

Yang Cheng just glanced at the news and then glanced away.

At the moment, he is more concerned about the upcoming Premier League and Champions League games.

They will play Chelsea at home in the league this weekend, play Barcelona at home in the Champions League next Wednesday, and play Arsenal away in the FA Cup next weekend.

Then we will play against Barcelona away.

This continuous and intensive dialogue between strong teams will also be a huge test for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Especially in April.

Long before, during the national team competition, Yang Cheng had already developed a very detailed game strategy with the coaching staff.

Today, the team is also executing this game strategy step by step.

Even the competition process went very smoothly.

For example, the 32nd round of the Premier League home game against Chelsea.

At the beginning of the game, Yang Cheng asked the team to focus on Chelsea's flanks.

Gareth Bale and Walcott, in particular, were very active after the opening.

In the 12th minute, Gareth Bale broke into the left side of the penalty area and his shot was blocked by Terry.

Harry Kane missed the ball again in front of the goal, but his shot was saved by Cech again.

Gareth Bale rushed to the left corner of the small penalty area and made another clever shot, but it was blocked by Gary Cahill in front of the goal.

Three consecutive shots, all of which were extremely threatening, were not converted into goals.

Fortunately, the continuous shots created chaos in front of Chelsea's goal. The fourth shot was taken by Aaron Ramsey from 4 meters in front of the goal and sent the ball into the Blues' goal.

1 is better than 0!

After that, the game between the two teams fell into a stalemate.

After the second half, Bayswater Chinese stepped up their offensive again but failed to score.

On the contrary, Chelsea, after stabilizing the rhythm, began to launch a counterattack.

Mourinho made continuous substitutions to strengthen the attack.

But in the 70th minute, the Bayswater Chinese launched a quick counterattack.

Gareth Bale dribbled the ball through the left, rushed to the left side of Chelsea's penalty area, and made a cross in front of the goal. Harry Kane calmly cushioned the ball into Chelsea's goal.

2 is better than 0!

But just as everyone was celebrating the goal, Gareth Bale fell next to Chelsea's goal.

The team doctor quickly ran over from the sidelines, and after a preliminary examination, he shook his head at Yang Cheng.

"He must have pulled the muscle when he made the sudden stop just now." Flick was a professional player and probably guessed the problem.

Muscle strain is a very common problem when players are very tired.

But Gareth Bale's injury at this time is not good news for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Because we will face Barcelona next Wednesday.

……

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Chelsea 2-0 at home with goals from Aaron Ramsey and Kane.

Arsenal beat Burnley 1-0 away in this round.

Liverpool beat Newcastle 2-0 at home.

In another focus match of this round, Manchester United drew 4-4 with Manchester City at home.

The Blue Moon scored first, but Van Gaal's team scored consecutive goals to reverse the situation.

After that, the two sides started a fight.

It was not until the 89th minute that Messi assisted Aguero to equalize the score.

The two sides shook hands and made peace with a score of 4-4!
There was a goal-scoring battle at Old Trafford.

This is indeed good news for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Manchester City only got 1 point, and the gap between them and Bayswater Chinese widened.

But the bad news is that on the second day of the game, after detailed tests, Yang Cheng held a press conference at the Brent Training Center and announced Gareth Bale's injury.

The Welshman has a thigh muscle strain and is expected to be out for two weeks.

In other words, the Welshman will definitely not be able to catch up with the game against Barcelona.

Yang Cheng was also speechless about this.

Gareth Bale is the most threatening player on the team, but he was unable to participate in the match against Barcelona, ​​which has a huge impact on the team.

But for injuries like this, even if they know that disclosing the injury will give Barcelona the opportunity to prepare in advance, they still have to disclose the injury proactively.

Whether it is UEFA, the Premier League, or other leagues, there are similar regulations requiring clubs to update player status in a timely manner, not conceal major injuries, and ensure the fairness of the game.

Violators will be considered to have violated the information shielding rules.

In addition to the regulations of the league and cup competitions, proactively disclosing injuries is actually helpful in controlling public opinion, maintaining good relations with fans, and managing expectations reasonably.

If the club did not announce Gareth Bale's injury to the public, but some fans bought tickets for the home game against Barcelona next Wednesday at a high price, and then when the game arrived, they found that Gareth Bale was absent due to injury, wouldn't the club be sued to death by the fans?

The media may take the opportunity to spread rumors.

For example, Yang Cheng and Gareth Bale had a conflict and the Welshman was relegated to the sidelines.

Or some other rumors.

In short, in European football, the most appropriate way to deal with injuries like this is to proactively disclose them.

Even though he knew that this might help his opponent.

As for Yang Cheng, after the press conference, he was still thinking about how to remedy the situation.

……

"Robert, what did you say?"

In the head coach's office at the Ciutadella de Joan Gamper in Barcelona, ​​Spain, Luis Enrique jumped in surprise when he heard the report from assistant coach Robert Moreno.

"Say it again."

Robert Moreno has been following Enrique since 08 and coaching Barcelona's second team.

He was only 31 years old at that time.

In the past few years, he followed Enrique all over the country and finally returned to Barcelona.

Now, the young Barcelona assistant coach also looks excited.

"Just got the news that Gareth Bale is injured and will be out for at least two weeks."

"What injury?"

"I pulled a muscle. I suffered it against Chelsea."

"I knew it!" Luis Enrique clapped his hands vigorously.

"I guessed it when I saw how he ended up. This kid was finally injured!"

Luis Enrique smiled with a hint of schadenfreude.

This is the Ciutat de España, Barcelona's territory. He is gloating over other people's misfortune and is not afraid of being found out.

In fact, even if it really got out, it wouldn’t matter.

The worst that can happen is that people will laugh at you and say you have no sportsmanship or something like that.

But Gareth Bale is injured, which is definitely great news for Barcelona.

"I've always been puzzled. You say that all speed players are prone to injuries, but it's the Chinese players in Bayswater who rarely get injured. This doesn't make sense, right?"

Luis Enrique chuckled.

Anyone can see that Gareth Bale's mood immediately became much happier after his injury.

“The Bayswater Chinese do have their own unique way of dealing with injuries.”

Another assistant coach, who is also the goalkeeping coach, Unsué followed up.

He had been to London for inspection before and knew that Yang Cheng had invested heavily in injury prevention and rehabilitation therapy.

Speaking of which, Unsué’s feelings towards the Chinese in Bayswater are even more complicated.

On the one hand, he acknowledged the advancement of Yang Cheng's team.

On the other hand, he has been a goalkeeping coach at Barcelona since 03, assisting Rijkaard and Guardiola.

Later, he went out to coach alone for a season, but was unsuccessful, so he came back to continue assisting Guardiola.

He went out to coach on his own during the Vilanova period, but returned in 13 with Luis Enrique as assistant coach.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the past ten years, how many goals have been scored against the goalkeepers trained by Unsue by Yang Cheng's team?
Is this account clear?

"Who do you think Yang Cheng will arrange to replace Gareth Bale after he is injured? Walcott? Or Sterling?"

Luis Enrique immediately moved on to the next question.

"If we look at the technical and tactical characteristics, I think it's Walcott." Robert Moreno expressed his opinion.

"Hazard and Gareth Bale, one on the left and one on the right, have been the best performing winger combination for the Chinese at Bayswater in the past few years. The two have very complementary characteristics."

"If you look at it from that perspective, Walcott is clearly the best candidate to fill Gareth Bale's vacancy."

After a pause, Moreno added, "But I think Hazard will be the main attacker by then."

Luis Enrique thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly.

Hazard has performed very well in this season's Champions League and can even be said to be one of the best performing players.

"I also support Robert's point of view. Sterling is indeed quite good, but he is still a little young after all, and his characteristics are somewhat similar to Hazard. He can't achieve the same effect as Walcott." Unsue echoed.

Luis Enrique thought about it and felt that what his two assistants said made sense.

But is this all Yang Cheng is capable of?
Obviously, this is not the image of Yang Cheng that Luis Enrique is afraid of.

If this is all Yang Cheng is capable of, then is he still Yang Cheng?

But he felt uneasy, and Luis Enrique couldn't figure out what kind of adjustments Yang Cheng would make.

"do not care!"

Luis Enrique gritted his teeth and made a prompt decision.

"We are playing away from home and the main player of Bayswater Chinese is injured and out, which is very beneficial for us. We must seize this opportunity."

Both Moreno and Unzue nodded.

In the past few years, how has Barcelona been "bullied" by Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese?

Now, I finally have a chance to show off my strength, and I must take revenge on my opponent.

"Didn't they say that Bayswater Chinese never lost at home?"

Luis Enrique said this, grinning and revealing a cold smile.

"Then we'll beat them away from home!"

"Tell our players that next Wednesday we are going to take Bayswater!"
