I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 332: The patron saint's last-gasp goal! The tsunami at Prudential Stadium! Anpanman: I signed an insider! [Subscribe]

At this time, there were less than 2 minutes left until the end of the game.

The 9 fans at London's Prudential Arena held their breath and watched the game going on in the stadium with full concentration.

The fans' eyes moved back and forth among the team's many stars.

Hazard, Harry Kane, Walcott, Modric...

And then there was Gareth Bale, who came on as a second-half substitute.

This is the Welsh star's return to the court after two weeks of injury.

There have been big changes in the Chinese community in Bayswater over the past two weeks.

The team defeated Barcelona 7-1 in two rounds.

Hazard performed quite well.

This makes everyone feel that the Chinese in Bayswater do not have to rely on Gareth Bale.

But back in the Premier League, Allardyce's West Ham United dealt a heavy blow to the Chinese in Bayswater.

In the past few seasons, Big Sam has suffered a lot at the hands of the Bayswater Chinese.

But this time, he finally won it back!
At the crucial moment of the Premier League's title challenge, Big Sam's team played a tight defense away from home and dragged the game into a quagmire through a series of iron bucket formations.

The Chinese players from Bayswater were never able to break through West Ham United's goal.

But in Manchester in the north, Manchester City, at the Etihad Stadium, beat Aston Villa 3-2 at the last minute thanks to Messi's goal.

The Blue Moon scored a goal in the first 3 minutes and established an advantage in the 66th minute.

Then they lost two goals in a row and almost capsized in the ditch.

But in the 89th minute, Messi's goal helped Manchester City win.

If Manchester City wins and Bayswater Chinese are tied at home, the championship situation will become very dangerous.

Because the devilish schedule of the Chinese in Bayswater continued.

It is because of this realization that the fans at Prudential Arena began to get nervous.

Some people even couldn't hold back and stood up from their seats.

The game entered the overtime period.

When the team tried to attack again and was blocked by West Ham United, more and more fans stood up, shouting and encouraging the players to continue attacking.

Never give up until the last moment!

The fans are getting more and more excited.

But at this time, Toni Kroos actually passed the ball back across the center line and returned it to the feet of central defender Thiago Silva.

Modric raised his hand, signaling the team to steady the pace and not rush.

Time is running out!

Attack quickly!
The fans were already getting impatient and they were shouting with all their might in the stands.

All the sounds came together and it was impossible to hear clearly.

The entire stadium is like a vast ocean.

All anyone could hear was the tsunami.

But they clearly saw that both Modric and Toni Kroos had returned to their own half.

Get the ball, pass it back, get the ball again, pass it back again...

Have you given up?

Have you given up?

The fans became excited in the stands.

They couldn't accept such an outcome.

A 0-0 draw kept the team's unbeaten record at home, but this was not the style of the Chinese at Bayswater.

There is also head coach Yang Cheng.

Why didn't they call on the players and just let them slow down the pace and give up the game?

First minute of extra time… Second minute…

The football was always going back and forth near the halfway line.

Probing again and again, passing back again and again, passing sideways again and again...

The pace is still slow!

Some anxious fans have started to get angry.

They continued to shout with all their might, and even started to curse.

They were not deliberately targeting the players, but were scolding them for their lack of ambition.

The game is about to end!
……

“Finally held on!”

When West Ham United head coach Sam Allardyce saw Modric pass the ball back to his own half again, he couldn't contain his excitement and laughed while sitting in the visiting team's coaching booth on the sidelines.

"It's really not easy!" Assistant coach Neil McDonald also breathed a sigh of relief.

The game is almost 93 minutes old.

Although the referee gave 4 minutes of extra time, the game could end at any time after 93 minutes.

"To be honest, the Chinese in Bayswater are really strong!" McDonald sighed.

West Ham United was put in a very awkward position throughout the game and had to use a defensive formation.

Being able to hold on actually required a bit of luck.

But that's how football games are.

Sometimes, luck is often a kind of strength.

"Getting one point from the Prudential Stadium, no team has been able to do it so far this season, only us!" Allardyce said proudly.

"More importantly, we have now sniped the Chinese in Bayswater. I wonder how they can continue to fight for the championship!"

MacDonald also nodded.

For now, the Chinese in Bayswater still have a leading advantage, but we can’t always look at things that way.

This is a trend.

More importantly, this draw brought about changes on the psychological level.

Next, the Chinese in Bayswater faced a series of tough battles, and most of them were dialogues between strong opponents.

This is a huge test for them.

Of course, if they win the championship, fans can praise them for their high quality.

But on the other hand, this often also means that they may capsize in a ditch at any time and lose everything.

Therefore, West Ham United's draw with Bayswater Chinese away from home is likely to be a start.

"To be honest, in the past few years, every time I played against the Chinese in Bayswater, I felt a headache and was always beaten badly. Now I can finally hold my head high." Allardyce couldn't help laughing.

Everyone knows that his feud with the Chinese in Bayswater started with the Carol incident.

"After the game, I will attend the post-match press conference later. Please tell the players that I will treat everyone to a big dinner and celebrate!" Allardyce said loudly.

Now even MacDonald was happy.

It was at this time that the game time jumped into the 93rd minute.

……

As soon as Hazard got the ball on the left side of the frontcourt, he was immediately surrounded by West Ham United players, so he quickly passed the ball back.

Luke Shaw received the ball close to the left.

But winger Tang Ning rushed towards him immediately.

Although the game was about to end, West Ham United players did not dare to be careless at all.

Luke Shaw immediately passed the ball back to Thiago Silva who was lagging behind.

The Brazilian center back received the ball on the left side outside the center circle in his own half and immediately passed it to Van Dijk on the right side of the center circle.

At this time, Toni Kroos had already returned to the left side of the center circle on the center line to prepare to receive the ball.

But he was also surrounded by West Ham United striker, Charlton Cole.

Now, West Ham United has placed the pressing area in the midfield, while their own midfield and backcourt are adopting a shrinking defense.

As for the Chinese in Bayswater wanting to pass the ball in the backcourt, go ahead!

After being followed by Charlton Cole, Toni Kroos immediately pointed forward and called out to Van Dijk.

Speed ​​up!
charge!

It’s almost time!

This is the last chance to attack!
Almost at the same time, Modric quickly retreated to receive the ball.

Van Dijk immediately passed the ball forward to Modric's feet.

When the Croatian received the ball on the right side outside the center circle, he suddenly stopped, pushed the ball sideways with the outside of his foot, turned around, and immediately made a horizontal pass.

The ball almost passed along the center line across the center circle and landed at the feet of Toni Kroos.

At this moment, the speed of football transmission suddenly increased.

"Bayswater Chinese begin final attack."

"There's only one minute left in the game."

Toni Kroos didn't let the ball stay at his feet at all. He immediately met the ball and pushed it forward with the inside of his right foot.

If time stopped at this moment, everyone would be surprised.

Because the entire West Ham United midfield and backfield are full of people.

The two lines of defense were neatly arranged near their own 30-meter area.

Why in this area?

This is the "director" from Toni Kroos and Modric.

They kept pressing forward and attacking, and finally forced West Ham United into a solid block.

So, the team kept retreating, retreating to the center line, and even retreating into their own half.

At this time, if West Ham United wants to achieve better defensive results, they must press forward with their overall formation.

Otherwise, it would mean allowing the Chinese players in Bayswater to take long shots and pass into the penalty area.

2 lines of defense, 9 players, very neat.

This is enough to prove that Allardyce, as a famous English coach, is still very capable.

But the key point is that Harry Kane dropped back to the space behind the two defensive midfielders, Chekou Kouyate and Mark Noble, to receive the ball.

The beauty of Toni Kroos' pass was that it landed right at Harry Kane's feet in the area between the back line and the double defensive midfielders.

Everything seemed as if it had been calculated in advance.

Hazard and Walcott are still on the two flanks, responsible for expanding the width of the defense.

West Ham United had three players in the middle of the defense.

The moment Harry Kane stopped the ball and turned around, West Ham United's midfield was retreating quickly, and the defense line turned around to retreat.

This is their consistent style in this game.

As long as we retreat to the restricted area and defend it strictly, we will be safe.

But you can't refund all of it.

The main central defender James Collins chose to steal the ball and rushed quickly towards Harry Kane.

It would be best to stop Harry Kane from moving forward or pass the ball.

It can be said that West Ham United's defense has been good enough.

Just like they had done in the previous 93 minutes of the game, almost no different.

The only difference is that in the empty space where Harry Kane is, for about one second, no one can interfere with the England center forward.

When James Collins was trying to steal the ball, Gareth Bale, who was originally around, suddenly started and cut into the area that James Collins was originally defending at an extremely fast speed.

Harry Kane also sent a straight pass almost at the moment when Gareth Bale was level with the defense line.

James Collins responded.

As a Welsh international, he knows too well the strength of Gareth Bale.

So he fell to the ground and slid to try to intercept Harry Kane's straight pass.

It is best to destroy it directly.

But he miscalculated.

Harry Kane's through ball was quick and urgent.

By the time James Collins fell to the ground, the ball had slipped past him.

Gareth Bale cut forward at an extremely fast speed and rushed to the left side of the arc top area.

"Single sword!!!"

"Not offside! Not offside!!"

The Sky Sports commentator couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The 9 fans at the scene screamed in surprise.

Spanish goalkeeper Adrian decisively left the goal and rushed towards Harry Kane's direct pass.

But Gareth Bale is quicker.

The Welshman took a step ahead and stopped the ball to his left side with his right foot, barely avoiding Adrian who was attacking near the penalty spot, while continuing to sprint forward.

Adrian only felt a flash of a figure in front of him, and then he was rushed towards by Gareth Bale.

The Welsh winger quickly chased after the ball he had thrown.

But Adrian also reacted quickly and turned around to chase after him.

Gareth Bale took a step forward, barely passed Adrian, caught up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and shot directly with his left foot.

Adrian dived as hard as he could from behind Gareth Bale, trying to block the ball.

But the shot was powerful, fast, and low.

As a result, Adrian couldn't catch the ball at all.

The ball went into the bottom right of West Ham United's goal at lightning speed.

Gareth Bale lost his balance because of this shot and fell in the penalty area.

But the next moment, he slapped the ground, turned around and rushed out of the court.

"Knockout!!!"

"Oh my God, in the 93rd minute, Gareth Bale scored a wonderful goal!"

"1 to 0!"

"At the critical moment, it still depends on Gareth Bale!"

"The patron saint of Prudential Stadium!"

"The Welshman returned to the field after two weeks of injury and came off the bench to score a brilliant winner for the team!"

"93rd minute, 93rd minute goal!"

Gareth Bale excitedly rushed out of the stadium and ran all the way to the sidelines.

Along the way, he made his signature heart-shaped celebration gesture to the fans, and finally knelt down on the sidelines.

Behind him, his teammates chased out one by one and surrounded him.

The entire stadium was filled with thunderous cheers from 9 fans.

Everyone is shouting Gareth Bale's name!

"This is incredible!"

"Let's take a look at the replay of this goal."

"We can even venture to speculate that this is the strategy of the Chinese in Bayswater."

"Toni Kroos and Modric have been signaling their teammates to slow down the tempo, retreat as a whole and give the opponent more space."

"At the time, we all felt that the Bayswater Chinese wanted to give up the game."

"But now, looking back, it was this move that forced West Ham United to press forward as a whole and the players became slack."

"With only 1 minute left in the game, the Bayswater Chinese calmly seized an opportunity and caused a defensive mistake by West Ham United!"

“This is Bayswater Chinese!”

“Too confident!”

"This team has great confidence in its own abilities and the abilities of its teammates. They know they can do it and will definitely do it, so they dare to do it."

"Toni Kroos and Modric are really rare midfield cores!"

"The hero of this goal is of course Gareth Bale, and Harry Kane assisted him."

"But we can see from the whole process of the goal that Toni Kroos and Modric are the heroes behind the goal."

"West Ham United defended tightly for 93 minutes, but in the last minute, they relaxed!"

"This completely wiped out their previous 93 minutes of hard work."

"1 to 0!"

"Gareth Bale scored the winning goal after his comeback!"

"He used this wonderful offside goal to prove that he is still the patron saint of Prudential Stadium!"

“He is the indispensable top scorer for the Bayswater Chinese!”

The live TV camera also switched to the sidelines.

It can be clearly seen that Sam Allardyce's jaw dropped in the visiting team's coaching booth, and then he jumped up in anger.

Obviously, he was very disappointed with the final result.

Because just a moment ago, he still felt that he could take away 1 point from Prudential Arena.

……

In the 34th round of the Premier League, the competition is very fierce, whether it is the top teams or the relegation teams.

Both Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City won by scoring last-minute winners.

After the game, Bayswater Chinese continued to lead the Premier League standings with 94 points.

Manchester City ranks second in the Premier League with 89 points.

But Bayswater Chinese have not played their 33rd round yet and have one game less.

So, after defeating West Ham United, almost everyone felt that the Chinese in Bayswater had already won the game.

There are basically no problems in winning the championship.

The media also generally gave high praise to Gareth Bale who scored the winning goal.

He returned to the game two weeks after being injured and scored a crucial goal as a substitute!

There is really nothing else to say about this kind of player except to praise him highly.

If the first two teams are far ahead, then Chelsea is in third place with 77 points.

But Mourinho's team drew 0-0 with Arsenal away from home in this round.

The Gunners now have 74 points and are in third place.

In this round, Manchester United suffered a shocking 0-3 defeat away from home to Moyes' Everton.

Moyes has finally avenged his inability to coach Manchester United.

The Red Devils now have 68 points and are ranked 5th.

It can be said that from the current perspective, it is unlikely for Van Gaal's team to break into the top four of the league.

But precisely because of this, many people are speculating that Manchester United may have chosen another direction.

Europa League.

As long as Manchester United can win the Europa League, they can still qualify for the Champions League next season.

As for relegation, teams ranked 13th or below are basically at great risk of relegation.

Therefore, it is hard to say who will win in the end.

Bayswater Chinese's next opponent, Aston Villa, is ranked 19th, just one point more than Sunderland, which is ranked 1th.

This is destined to be another fight to the death!
……

After playing against West Ham United, Yang Cheng and the coaching staff made special arrangements for the final period of time.

On April 4, they played away against relegation team Aston Villa.

On May 5nd, we will play away against Liverpool.

On May 5th, we will play away against Real Madrid.

On May 5th, we will play away against Manchester City.

On May 5, we will play against Real Madrid at home.

On May 5, they will play against relegation team Newcastle at home.

It can be said that every subsequent game will be a crucial battle.

For Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese, the pressure to win all the games is very high.

This was also the first time for Flick to experience such a scene.

Although we are leading by 5 points, we still have one game less.

But the problem is, losing a game means 3 points.

Of course, the Chinese in Bayswater are under pressure, and so are Manchester City.

So, Yang Cheng deliberately played a joke on everyone.

"I have called Ronald Koeman and told him to fight Manchester City to the death to give us more chances to win the championship!"

"It would be great if our two teams met in the Champions League final!"

If that time really comes, if the Chinese in Bayswater are upset by Nice, it will definitely be an interesting scene.

But everyone knew that this was actually a joke.

Manchester City is really strong.

It is not easy to defeat Manchester City.

Gianni Vio's data analysis team is specifically conducting some data-level analysis and deductions on the upcoming league situation, including how to make the most of the team's current advantage of 5 points and one game less. The two-legged Champions League semi-final is the real key!
But the league cannot be overtaken by Manchester City.

How to make good use of this advantage is actually very important.

It was also the first time that Flick witnessed the role of data analysis in season analysis and deduction.

Many things become clear immediately after familiar analysis and calculation of various probabilities.

This made Frick not only amazed, but also learned a lot.

……

Villa Park, midweek.

In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Aston Villa away.

Yang Cheng made a major rotation.

But just 7 minutes into the game, the team's quick attack led to Walcott scoring the first goal for the team.

After scoring a goal, Yang Cheng slowed down the pace, used his advantage in passing and controlling the ball to contain his opponent, and adopted a tactic of steady defense and counterattack.

This is indeed not very decent for the top giants.

But what can be done?
Yang Cheng played with a large number of substitute players, still wanting to take 3 points away from home.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Marcelo scored a goal for the team from Walcott's cross from the right.

2 is better than 0!

Afterwards, Agbonlahor scored a goal for Aston Villa.

But in the 78th minute, Walcott assisted Giroud and scored with a header.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Aston Villa 3-1 away.

……

At the weekend, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Liverpool away.

Yang Cheng's team is still rotating.

Because next Wednesday they will go to the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid away.

As a result, in the 19th minute of the first half, Lambert assisted Coutinho and shot the ball through Courtois' goal, scoring the first goal for Liverpool.

Subsequently, the Red Army continued to launch offensives.

At one point, it even forced the Chinese in Bayswater to retreat.

This situation continued into the second half.

In the 73rd minute, after receiving a pass from Matic, Aaron Ramsey dribbled past Gerrard and shot in the penalty area to equalize the score for the team.

1 is better than 1!

Neither side was able to score again after that.

Despite Liverpool's heavy attack, even using four attackers in the end, they were still unable to break through the goal of the Bayswater Chinese.

The two sides shook hands and made peace with the score at 1:1.

But in this round, Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 29-1 away from home with Aguero's goal in the 0th minute.

The Blue Moon also made a large rotation in this game, and the intensity was very strong.

The midfield consisted of Fernando and Fernandinho.

The only starter was Aguero.

Obviously, Aguero will miss the Champions League in midweek.

Tottenham also created many opportunities in this game, but they were never able to break Manchester City's goal.

As a result, Bayswater Chinese's lead was reduced to 6 points.

There are 3 rounds left in the league.

……

On the evening of February 5th, at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Bayswater Chinese challenged Real Madrid away.

Both sides sent out their main players in this game.

Ancelotti still deployed a 433 formation for Real Madrid.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defense: Coentrao, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal;
Midfield: Javi Martinez in the back, Isco and James Rodriguez in front;
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Dzeko and Di Maria.

This is the strongest lineup Real Madrid can currently put together.

Also sitting on the bench were stars such as Jesse, Hernandez, Illarramendi and Arbeloa.

The Chinese in Bayswater are no less impressive.

Yang Cheng had made continuous rotations before in order to send out all his main players in this game.

Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Pepe, Van Dijk and Piszczek;

Midfield: Casemiro drops back, with Toni Kroos and Modric in the middle;

Forwards: Hazard, Giroud and Gareth Bale.

On the defensive line, if facing a team with a strong center forward, Yang Cheng would prefer to use Pepe and Van Dijk.

Thiago Silva is very strong, but he is at a disadvantage when facing high center forwards.

Van Dijk is a player with very strong personal abilities, and his performance is getting better and better. He can rush forward and squat, he can attack and defend, and he becomes more and more comfortable with his use.

What's more, Pepe and Thiago Silva are both veterans over 30 years old.

Yang Cheng must be more careful in using them and not treat them like he did when he was young.

Especially to minimize injuries.

At their age, frequent injuries are very serious and their condition will decline very quickly.

Some injuries may even cause them to retire early.

In terms of specific targeted tactical arrangements, Yang Cheng is still targeting Real Madrid's midfield.

Javi Martinez, Isco and James Rodriguez.

This combination looks luxurious and powerful, but what is it like in reality?
This midfield lacks control.

Under Ancelotti's coaching, Isco has made great progress this season and has been very active in defense.

But he is not good at organizing the team's midfield and initiating attacks.

James Rodriguez is similar to the traditional No. 10 attacking midfielder, which makes him more inclined to actively advance and participate in the attack rather than stay in the midfield to organize.

Yang Cheng targeted this problem of Real Madrid. After the opening, the front trident took the initiative to attack.

Since it is the first round and they are playing away, Yang Cheng will of course take the initiative.

After the opening, through this planned and purposeful pressing against Real Madrid's defense, coupled with the overall pressure from the midfield, Real Madrid's defense was forced to retreat.

This makes it easy for Real Madrid to become out of touch.

That is, the distance between Javi Martinez and the defense line, and Isco, James Rodriguez and the front trident has been widened.

Real Madrid obviously underestimated the almost unreasonable pressing in the midfield and frontcourt by the Chinese from Bayswater after the start of the game.

In the 7th minute, James Rodriguez received the ball on the right side outside the 30-meter area of ​​his own half.

When the Colombian was about to turn around, Marcelo counterattacked on the spot, suddenly rushed to his side, wrapped his whole body around him to grab the ball, pulled and tugged him, forced him to fall to the ground, and successfully intercepted the ball.

The moment he intercepted the ball, Marcelo took a look forward and sent a long diagonal pass with his left foot, transferring the ball from the left rib in front of the 30-meter area to the right side in front of the small penalty area.

Almost at the same time, Gareth Bale was like a red lightning, instantly penetrating Real Madrid's defense line, rushing to the front of the small penalty area, jumping high, and heading the ball from close range.

Marcelo's pass was headed by Gareth Bale and went straight into the right side of Real Madrid's goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Gareth Bale again!"

"At the critical moment, the Welsh winger scored again!"

"1 to 0!"

"This is a precious away goal worth its weight in gold!"

“Just 7 minutes into the game, Bayswater Chinese took the lead!”

The Real Madrid players were still confused at this time.

How long has it been since the start of the game and a goal has been scored?
Coentrao didn't even bother to chase back.

Although Ramos returned to defense with Gareth Bale, he was a step slower and he was unable to compete with Gareth Bale in the header.

But half of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Marcelo.

So, after scoring the goal, Gareth Bale turned around and ran, waving at Marcelo as he ran.

This pass from the Brazilian left back was so comfortable!

……

At the moment Gareth Bale scored, Ancelotti slapped his forehead hard.

Before the game, he had actually anticipated such an outcome.

When playing against Bayswater Chinese, if the head coach does not make a plan for losing the ball first, he is not a qualified head coach.

But when Ancelotti really saw the ball lost, he was also speechless.

"Marcelo is outrageous. His footwork and technique don't look like a defender at all!"

Ancelotti's words were helpless but also contained a hint of praise.

He himself is also a professional player.

"So, Yang Cheng didn't use him as a defender." said Fernando Hierro who was sitting next to him.

Because of Malaga, he and Yang Cheng became very close.

Just now in the player tunnel, he chatted with Yang Cheng for a while and made an appointment to have a drink together after the game.

Of course, Ancelotti will also be present.

But Ancelotti really couldn't be happy at this moment.

After all, we lost the ball and fell behind.

"To be honest, Yang Cheng is indeed a genius. Look at their configuration on the left front line, especially putting Toni Kroos in the left center midfielder position, which completely activated Marcelo."

Hierro is very impressed with Yang Cheng's coaching level.

Ancelotti had to agree.

"Back then, Heynckes put Toni Kroos in the left midfielder position. Yang Cheng might have got inspiration from this. But no matter what, Toni Kroos and Marcelo are indeed a perfect match."

The cooperation between the two is actually very interesting.

Toni Kroos is a central midfielder, but in reality he often cleans up Marcelo's mess and even falls back to assist him in defense.

This did not affect Toni Kroos' performance at all.

Because what the Germans are best at is passing the ball, especially long passes.

Falling back is a disaster for other midfielders, but for Toni Kroos, it is a good thing.

What about Marcelo?

With Toni Kroos as his partner, he can fully unleash his offensive talent.

Is he a defender?

you sure?
Have you ever seen a defender being dribbled past five or six times in a single game?
never seen it?
Marcelo is it!
Is it because his defense is too bad?

It's really not.

Those who are familiar with Marcelo know that this guy is quite good if he really devotes himself to defense.

I can’t say he’s excellent, but at least he’s a qualified defender.

But the problem is that he rarely really focuses on defense.

Or it should be said that Yang Cheng used him just to let him take part in the attack.

After talking about the Chinese in Bayswater, Ancelotti and Hierro naturally turned the topic back to Real Madrid.

In this game, Ancelotti's idea should be to let Di Maria focus on attacking Marcelo's side.

James Rodriguez is responsible for assisting behind him, along with Carvajal.

This kind of right-wing attack strength is sufficient.

But after the opening, the Chinese players of Bayswater pressed hard in the midfield and frontcourt, forcing Real Madrid's defense to retreat again and again, resulting in a disconnect in the midfield.

Once the midfield is out of touch, passing the ball from the midfield to the backcourt becomes a problem.

The tactics deployed by Ancelotti before the game failed.

Whether it is James Rodriguez or Di Maria, they are both South American players and they need the ball to be passed to their feet before they can pose a threat.

Thinking of this, Ancelotti couldn't help but look towards the Chinese side of Bayswater.

Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Modric.

NND, if you give me this midfield combination, I can lead Real Madrid to win the Champions League three times in a row!

But the problem is that, apart from Javi Martinez, the cards in his hand now, Isco and James Rodriguez are not enough.

The most important thing is rhythm!

Real Madrid currently seriously lacks a midfielder who can control the rhythm!
There are two Chinese in Bayswater, and two and a half, namely Aaron Ramsey and De Bruyne.

Manchester City is even more luxurious, with David Silva, Verratti, Thiago, Pirlo and Xabi Alonso...

Arsenal also has Fabregas, Arteta and Gourcuff.

Not to mention Barcelona.

But Real Madrid doesn’t have any now!

……

Although they took a one-goal lead, Bayswater Chinese did not stop there.

In the 10th minute, Bayswater Chinese got another chance.

Still after intercepting the ball in the middle of the frontcourt, Modric launched a quick counterattack and passed the ball diagonally to Hazard.

But Real Madrid's replay is very fast.

Hazard was forced to dribble the ball to the left sideline, where he was double-teamed by Carvajal and James Rodriguez.

But the Belgian remained between the two players and passed the ball back to Toni Kroos.

After the German midfielder pulled to the left sideline to receive the ball, he stopped the ball with the inside of his right foot, glanced forward, and made a long diagonal pass, sending the ball to the right side of the penalty area again.

The next moment, Gareth Bale suddenly broke out from between Ramos and Coentrao, rushed into the penalty area, and shot directly with his right foot before everyone else.

The shot hit the right spot, so it was quite powerful.

But at the critical moment, Casillas made a lifting move and pushed the shot over the crossbar.

Corner kick.

Modric took the corner kick and sent the ball accurately into the penalty area. Van Dijk headed the ball to the front point and Pepe headed the ball into the goal from the back point.

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back.

The entire Bernabeu Stadium was filled with cries of survival!

Everyone felt the offensive pressure from the Chinese in Bayswater.

Even a strong team like Real Madrid, even at the Bernabeu, was still suppressed by the Chinese in Bayswater after the opening.

This passive situation was not alleviated until after the 15th minute.

But Real Madrid still finds it difficult to organize an effective attack.

The loss of midfield power made it very difficult for Real Madrid to play.

Moreover, in the second half, Real Madrid's condition obviously had some problems.

The most important thing is the physical fitness of the players.

In the final analysis, it all falls on the midfield.

Ancelotti's team lacks effective control in the midfield, resulting in the team's rhythm often switching back and forth between fast attack and fast defense.

This is reflected on the court, where players either launch fast breaks forward or quickly retreat to defend.

This resulted in a lot of quick shuttle runs by Real Madrid players.

Anyone who has ever played football knows that for football players, running at a steady pace and running quickly back and forth are two completely different types of energy consumption.

The latter consumes much more energy than the former.

Therefore, in the second half of the season, Real Madrid's physical energy was consumed too much, and a large number of injuries occurred. Coupled with technical and tactical problems, the team's performance fluctuated.

If they play well, they can beat Granada 9-1, but if they play badly, they may lose to Atletico Madrid 0-4.

But just after Real Madrid eased the offensive pressure in the midfield and frontcourt and began trying to launch more threatening attacks, they soon made mistakes again.

In the 22nd minute, after Real Madrid intercepted the ball in their own half, Varane passed the ball to James Rodriguez.

At that time, Hazard and Marcelo were both on the left side of Real Madrid's 30-meter area.

The two rushed towards James Rodriguez at the same time to put pressure on him.

The Colombian stopped the ball gracefully, turned around, and passed the ball forward, trying to find Di Maria in front of him.

But he never expected that his intention of passing the ball was so obvious.

Toni Kroos appeared just in the passing line between him and Di Maria.

So, this pass was more like a direct pass to Toni Kroos than a pass to Di Maria.

The Real Madrid players were all dumbfounded.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were also stunned.

What the hell!

8000 million euros to sign a mole?
Toni Kroos stopped the ball and moved forward, then chased after it and passed it to Hazard.

The latter turned his back to the direction of attack and passed the ball to Marcelo.

The Brazilian defender stopped the ball and passed it to Giroud outside the arc.

The French center forward just retreated, stopped the ball with the inside of his right foot, turned around, blocked Javi Martinez with his body, and then sent a straight pass behind him with his left foot.

Almost at the same time, Gareth Bale quickly shook off Coentrao, inserted into the right side of Real Madrid's penalty area from the right side of the arc, and caught up with Giroud's straight pass.

Stop and shoot!

The ball went into Real Madrid's goal past Casillas who had left the goal.

2 is better than 0!

Gareth Bale turned and stormed off the pitch in excitement.

All the Bayswater Chinese players rushed out of the stadium, excitedly celebrating this wonderful goal.

The Real Madrid players stood on the field in a daze.

Obviously, they were all very depressed about losing the ball.

It's also very demoralizing!
Isn’t it outrageous that the teammates around you actually choose to “plan” the opponent to score a goal?
But everyone knows that James Rodriguez did not mean it.

……

When the game was tied at 0-2, even the Real Madrid fans at the scene had a bad feeling.

Real Madrid may be finished!

After taking a two-goal lead, Bayswater Chinese began to adopt a more cautious tactic.

At least, it's not as radical as it was at the beginning.

This is also related to Yang Cheng's game strategy.

Yang Cheng will play against Manchester City next. If he can win in a more relaxed way at the Bernabeu, Yang Cheng will definitely be very happy.

Especially in the second half.

Ancelotti began to exert his strength and Real Madrid stepped up its attack.

But at this time, all the fans in the Bernabeu were depressed to find that the Chinese midfielder from Bayswater was really good at running, had a large coverage area, and had strong physical strength. No matter who he faced, he was not afraid at all.

After only 75 minutes of play, he had already run 11 kilometers.

Toni Kroos and Modric were also actively running and passing the ball.

This made the fans at the Bernabeu feel outrageous.

Why didn't Casemiro seem so strong before when he was in Real Madrid?
When he was at Real Madrid, this guy was clearly a sieve with a lot of problems.

But when he arrived at Bayswater Chinese, Casemiro seemed like a different person.

Outrageous!

Could it be that the climate and soil in London are just so nourishing?

But no matter what, throughout the second half, although Real Madrid's performance improved a bit, especially in offense, and created several threats, it was mainly on Ronaldo's side.

Di Maria and James Rodriguez are still under control.

Real Madrid conceded two goals in the first half, which affected their morale and resulted in their offense in the second half not posing much threat.

By the end of the game, the fans at the Bernabeu had to accept the 0-2 defeat with frustration.

Bayswater Chinese beat Real Madrid 2-0 away with Gareth Bale scoring twice.

The score was almost certain, and the Chinese from Bayswater had one foot in the gate of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

If Bayswater Chinese FC's 2-0 away win over Real Madrid was not considered an upset, then what really surprised everyone was another game.

At the Allianz Stadium in Nice, France, facing Manchester City, Nice scored the first goal in the 6th minute with a corner kick by Koulibaly who broke through Ter Stegen's goal.

But Nice's lead did not last long, as Manchester City quickly reversed Nice 2-1 with two goals from Messi.

The Blue Moon had an overwhelming advantage throughout the first half.

But in the second half, just when Guardiola's team wanted to make a concerted effort to defeat Nice, Kovacic made a wonderful advance down the middle and sent a wonderful pass. Young player Martial dribbled the ball through Manchester City's defense and equalized the score for the team.

2 is better than 2!

In the 74th minute, with Kovacic's assist, Salah dribbled into the right side of the penalty area, dribbled past Leighton Baines, and scored another goal for Nice.

3 is better than 2!

This score remained until the end of the game!

Nice unexpectedly defeated Guardiola's Manchester City at home!

This shocked media and fans around the world.

Could it be that this super dark horse is really going to be dark forever?
Will there really be a fight between brothers in the Champions League final?
