I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 348 Double Standards! Europe's Best Player! A Perfect Goal Machine! Wenger's Defenses Are Completely Broken! [Please Subscribe]

Starting with the 15/16 Champions League group stage, the seeding rules have completely changed.

In the past, the Champions League seeding was based on UEFA coefficient rankings, with the top 8 teams ranked from highest to lowest as seeded teams.

But now it is the defending champion and the champion of the league that is in the top 7 of the European competition points.

Since the Chinese team from Beswathe won both the Champions League and the Premier League, the seven spots were given to the Dutch Eredivisie, which was ranked 8th in the UEFA coefficient rankings.

PSV Eindhoven thus gained a significant advantage, securing a seeded position.

The other 24 teams are divided into three tiers based on their European competition points.

Is this tiering system reasonable?

That's actually unreasonable.

For example, PSV Eindhoven, who were added as replacements, only had 58.195 points in European competitions, making them a third-tier team. Now they have been moved to the first tier and become a seeded team.

Zenit Saint Petersburg, currently ranked 7th in the European competition points rankings, is a solid third-tier team and is also a seeded team.

Nice in Ligue 1, Benfica in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and Juventus in Serie A would all be in the second tier based on their UEFA coefficient rankings.

As a result, they've all become top-tier now.

The problem that followed was that the teams in the second tier had issues.

Doesn't the Premier League have five teams playing in the Champions League this season?
Apart from the defending champions and seeded teams, the other four teams are all in the second tier.

This is absolutely outrageous.

So much so that when the Champions League seedings were announced, almost everyone could see through them at a glance.

Who are the remaining four teams in the second tier?
Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Porto, and Paris Saint-Germain.

The Chinese team will definitely draw one of these four teams.

I was lucky enough to draw Paris Saint-Germain.

Although this Ligue 1 team has many star players, its overall strength is not very strong, and it is ultimately weaker than the two Madrid giants.

Head coach Blanc doesn't have much Champions League experience, so he can still bully newcomers.

Or it's Porto.

Facing the two giants of La Liga is the most troublesome situation.

With a 50/50 chance, the Chinese player on Beswater drew Porto.

Having avoided the Madrid giants and drawn Porto, the third and fourth draws became much easier to obtain.

It doesn't matter who you run into.

The third draw resulted in Lyon, a formidable French Ligue 1 team.

The fourth draw was against Borussia Mönchengladbach from the Bundesliga.

In conclusion, the fortune is average.

They didn't encounter strong teams like the two Madrid giants, but Porto, Lyon, and Borussia Mönchengladbach are all formidable opponents.

Yang Cheng sat below and didn't think there was anything wrong with the lot he drew.

Anyway, he's always had pretty bad luck.

Teams like Astana and Maccabi Tel Aviv, which are basically easy kills for their opponents, are generally not relevant to me.

Furthermore, in terms of overall strength, the Chinese players from Beswathe are clearly superior to Porto, Lyon, and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, qualifying as the group winner should be a foregone conclusion.

The current tiered system still feels somewhat awkward.

There's also a problem with the Europa League champions playing in the Champions League.

The competition for the top four in the Premier League right now is just too fierce.

It's easy to imagine that teams that can't qualify for the Champions League will try every possible way to win the Europa League.

Five Premier League teams are participating in the Champions League. Do you know how much less money they will earn in a year?

It's necessary to explain this.

Aside from matchday fees and ticket sales, the revenue from participating in the Champions League mainly comes from two parts with UEFA.

One is appearance fees and prize money.

That is, how much money you get for each match you participate in, how much you get for advancing, how much you get for winning, how much you get for a draw...

Another part is the broadcasting fee, which is what many people call the prize pool.

The prize pool varies from league to league and is divided among the participating teams. Of course, performance is also taken into account, but there is a basic pool.

Therefore, in theory, the fewer teams participating, the more money will be allocated to the prize pool.

The most outrageous one should be Juventus.

Previously, because no other Serie A teams advanced to the round of 16 and were all eliminated in the group stage, Juventus had repeatedly monopolized most of the Italian prize pool, making a fortune.

The Premier League has the largest prize pool of all leagues.

In the past, the game was shared by four teams; now that it's being shared by five teams, that would definitely be a huge loss for them.

Yang Cheng and the Chinese, along with Bethwaite, figured out that they were short by at least several million pounds.

It's easy to imagine that such situations will become increasingly common in the future.

Compared to finishing in the top four of the league, winning the Europa League is obviously easier.

……

After the draw, the most anticipated award ceremony for the best European player will take place.

The top three players this year are Messi, Ronaldo, and Gareth Bale.

The three players are ranked in no particular order.

Gareth Bale and Lionel Messi are undoubtedly the star players of the Champions League final.

Cristiano Ronaldo secured the third spot thanks to his string of goals for Real Madrid.

These are also the three players most favored for this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or.

According to the rules, the top three players advanced to the second round of voting, which was conducted by 54 media reporters present at the scene.

Unlike previous years, several other awards have been added this year.

The award for best goal went to Lionel Messi of Manchester City.

After joining the Premier League, the Argentine completely dispelled everyone's doubts about him. He not only integrated into the Premier League but also performed exceptionally well, leading Manchester City all the way to the Champions League final.

But the best save went to Courtois of the Basworth Chinese.

The Belgian goalkeeper is now a world-class goalkeeper and has performed remarkably steadily.

The key point is that he is not very old; he is only 23 years old.

Considering Courtois' height and characteristics, and taking into account the career potential of a goalkeeper, he definitely has at least another 10 years of prime time ahead of him, which has led to extremely high praise for Courtois from the outside world.

Both the Best Goal and Best Save awards were chosen by fans through online voting.

It's fair to say that most of the votes were cast for the most popular player.

Another award is the European Best Female Footballer, which was given to Sevilla's Sasic.

In women's football, Spain is indeed ahead and very strong.

In the final award ceremony, 54 journalists at the scene voted, and Gareth Bale was once again named the best player in Europe.

The Welshmen received 33 out of 54 votes, giving them a majority.

Messi received 11 votes, while Ronaldo received 10 votes.

When the final votes for the three players were announced, a tremendous round of applause erupted in the arena.

As UEFA's Vice President in charge of club competitions, Van Pragge presented the award to Gareth Bale on behalf of UEFA.

The Welshman excitedly raised the trophy engraved with his name.

In his acceptance speech, the Welshman repeatedly stated that he could have done even better.

"I must thank all the Chinese teammates, coaches and staff at Baswater!"

"Without you all, I would never have made it this far!"

In addition, Gareth Bale promised that he would continue to work hard and hopes to be in even better form this season.

Yang Cheng, sitting in the audience, saw it all very clearly.

When Gareth Bell made that promise, he was looking at himself.

He knew that the Welshmen wanted to give him a respectable gift!

That's great!

At the very least, all the effort he's put into this team, these players, and Gareth Bale over the years has truly paid off.

……

They returned triumphantly from Monaco, taking home two awards and also drawing a relatively good result.

All of Britain is singing the praises of Gareth Bell.

Winning the UEFA Best Player award for two consecutive years, especially this season, where he beat out Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to win the award, is absolutely prestigious and has further solidified Gareth Bale's status in world football.

At the same time, it laid a very solid foundation for the upcoming FIFA Ballon d'Or competition.

Despite not being a major tournament year, having already won both the Champions League and the Premier League double, and with strong support from the Chinese, Besworth has now won the European Player of the Year award, considered a bellwether for the Ballon d'Or.

It's safe to say that Gareth Bale is the undisputed number one favorite.

Yang Cheng led his team from London to Nice, and then from Nice to Monaco.

But Yang Cheng was not on the plane back to London from Nice this time.

He stayed in Monaco.

This French Ligue 1 team has encountered a problem at the start of the new season.

In the previous four rounds, they had 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, including a home loss to Monaco.

Pochettino's start to the Ligue 1 season was indeed less than ideal.

Yang Cheng stayed behind during his spare time to exchange views with Pochettino.

Especially for this Nice team.

Based on Yang Cheng's opinion of Nice, this team's strength is definitely not enough to play like this.

Of course, Yang Cheng also had absolute trust in Pochettino.

He was like a tactical advisor, only responsible for offering suggestions and providing Pochettino with some references.

After spending two days in Nice, Yang Cheng set off for Zurich.

FIFA's reforms are progressing steadily.

As an "outsider," Yang Cheng's role was primarily to oversee the affairs of the supervisory board and the progress of the reform team.

As for other matters, he basically doesn't get involved.

Not to mention appearing in the media.

But it's very lively outside.

As the UEFA presidential election draws ever closer, a variety of news stories are emerging.

First and foremost is the situation.

The election has not yet begun, but Ceferin has already received public support from 33 of the 55 member states.

It can be described as an overwhelming advantage.

How much did Van Prags gain as a competitor?

Only three people were willing to publicly support Van Praggar.

The Netherlands, Belgium, and Iceland.

This is a completely asymmetrical "duel".

The most crucial reason is that the small countries with the most votes all resist Van Prag.

Even more outrageous is that the Western European football powerhouses that should have supported Van Prags all switched their support to Ceferin.

Including England.

This is something very intriguing.

When Yang Cheng spoke with David Gill privately, he also reminded him to pay close attention to this point.

While Ceferin was promoting his campaign slogans, he was criticizing the powerful Western European countries, especially the top five European football leagues.

For example, he believes that the agreement reached at the previous UEFA meeting would give England, Spain, Germany and Italy four Champions League spots, for a total of 16 spots.

They don't even need to play in the qualifiers; they can go straight to the group stage. This is absolutely outrageous.

"This has come at a great cost to the interests of leagues like those in my home country of Slovenia."

"Slovenia has only 200 million people, but we also need to be respected!"

Listen to what others have to say.

How pleased those small countries with voting rights must be to hear this!

These are our own people!
Netherlands?

That's a developed country in Western Europe, a football powerhouse!
However, Ceferin's campaign was not without its challenges.

At the beginning of his campaign, he emphasized that he owned a large law firm in Slovenia and that he came from a famous Slovenian lawyer family, with his father and brother being well-known lawyers in Slovenia.

As a lawyer with 25 years of experience, Ceferin has represented the family of construction tycoon Zidal, Ljubljana Mayor Jankovic and his son, former Slovenian Prime Minister Bratusek.

This is all public information.

He is indeed no ordinary person.

However, his resume was dug up and exposed before the election.

Suspected of forgery!

According to the election rules of the Slovenian Football Federation, candidates who wish to run for high-ranking positions such as president or vice president must have at least five years of experience in the football industry.

But what's amazing is that Ceferin's football experience is exactly 5 years.

He served as a director at the Ljubljana Olympic team from 2006 to 2011.

It was during these five years that he met the eligibility requirements to run for president of the Slovenian Football Federation.

Is this a coincidence?

Media outlets traveled to Slovenia to investigate and learned that Ceferin had indeed worked with the club since 2006, but only as an adjunct legal advisor, not as an employee within the club.

He officially joined the club in 2010 as a director.

In other words, his actual experience in the football industry is only a little over a year.

François Závl, the president of the Olympic Ljubljana club, is now the vice president of the Slovenian Football Federation and Ceferin's right-hand man.

As early as 2011, when Ceferin was running for chairman, his resume had already been investigated.

However, a law school in Novogoritsa issued a certificate acknowledging Ceferin's resume.

Interestingly, Ceferin's brother is a professor at this law school.

It was with this certificate that Ceferin successfully made it onto the candidate list.

Even more coincidentally, he had almost no competitors and was elected directly.

Media reporters questioned Ceferin's resume!
There are too many coincidences.

From five years of professional experience to running for office, Ceferin's every step seemed perfectly timed.

He was elected president of Slovenia in 2011 and successfully re-elected in 2015. He also seized the opportunity of Platini's downfall and decisively ran for president. Now he has become the top favorite to become president of UEFA.

Is there really no problem here?
Are all these coincidences just coincidences?
Nobody knows.

Cheferin didn't even respond to this.

After the news report came out, it only caused a stir for two days, but it didn't really make a difference and then quickly faded away.

On September 8, Yang Cheng, accompanied by David Gill and others, flew from Zurich, Switzerland to the Mediterranean island nation of Malta.

The UEFA election congress will be held in Malta on the 10th and 11th.

In fact, the UEFA Executive Committee had already held a meeting back in June.

The main issue discussed was determining the venues for the 2017 Champions League and Europa League finals.

There are also some issues regarding the 2016 European Championship play-offs.

Another point is to confirm the host associations for a series of UEFA meetings in 2017 and 2018.

Just like this September, what was originally an executive committee meeting was changed to an election meeting at the last minute.

This also requires some preparation time for the organizer, Malta.

This includes how to welcome representatives from all visiting member countries, as well as FIFA representatives headed by Yang Cheng.

As UEFA's "superior," FIFA will definitely send someone.

Upon arriving in Malta, Yang Cheng made a point of checking and found that no one seemed to care about the report at all.

At this point, he was very clear that Cheferin's fate was sealed!

In his campaign speech before the vote on the 10th, Ceferin, as always, passionately spoke out for weaker countries and repeatedly emphasized that he would maintain fairness if elected.

For example, he proposed the so-called proportionality.

Ceferin pointed out that when imposing penalties, more consideration should be given to UEFA members facing financial difficulties.

A fine of 10 euros is a very large sum for the Faroe Islands Football Federation.

But for the football associations of wealthy Western European countries, it's just a drop in the ocean.

At this point, proportionality needs to be considered, and the pressure on the Faroe Islands Football Federation should be appropriately reduced.

What happens when the bonuses are distributed?

Okay, let's not talk about proportionality anymore.

Yang Cheng suddenly realized that double standards like this are truly everywhere!

Van Praggle seemed to have already foreseen his defeat, so his campaign speeches were actually rather lackluster in both content and viewpoint.

For example, he repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to restore pride to football and prevent it from becoming a slave to money.

He also stated that he has extensive management experience and can lead UEFA to achieve better results.

It's all the same old story, coming and going.

Comparing the two, Yang Cheng understood why both chose Cheferin.

At the very least, they genuinely promised substantial profits.

Van Pragman is still just spouting slogans.

If it were me, I would also choose Ceferin!

As it turned out, Ceferin ultimately received 42 out of 55 votes.

Van Pragner received 13 votes, a very large margin.

In Yang Cheng's view, besides the promises made, there was another very important reason for Ceferin's decision, which he himself repeatedly emphasized.

"I'm a newcomer, not part of the old system. I have some new ideas, and I'm very transparent!"

What about Van Pragman?
The elderly Dutch man was unable to say these words at all; instead, he repeatedly emphasized his own experience.

But this will only exacerbate concerns about his relationship with Platini!
After his successful election, Ceferin also delivered his victory speech.

He reiterated the reforms he would undertake during his upcoming term.

This includes the terms of office for the UEFA president and senior officials, as well as reforms to some institutions.

One point that caught Yang Cheng's attention was that he expressed his full support for David Gill's candidacy for FIFA president.

This was also recognized by everyone present.

Subsequently, UEFA held a press conference to announce the appointment of a new UEFA president to the world.

Aleksandar Ceferin, a lawyer from Slovenia, a country with a population of only 200 million, has been successfully elected as the president of UEFA!
This signals a reform from UEFA!

At the banquet that evening, Yang Cheng also congratulated Ceferin on behalf of the FIFA Supervisory Board.

Cheferin expressed his gratitude for Yang Cheng's visit.

Next, in October, UEFA will hold a general meeting in Prague, Czech Republic, to elect the new UEFA Executive Committee.

Currently, all three spots for the European Club Association have been selected.

Andrea Agnelli of Juventus, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge of Bayern Munich, and Florentino Pérez of Real Madrid.

They will all be "elected" at the conference in October.

Yang Cheng will probably have to go to the site again at that time.

Whether as the president of the FIFA Supervisory Board or as a member of the European Club Association, he should be present.

Consider it a publicly funded trip!

……

After returning to London from Malta, Yang Cheng immediately threw himself into his work again.

The Premier League has reignited with the fifth round of competition.

In this round, the Chinese from Baswater will play away against Ranieri's Leicester City.

The tinkerman still fielded his preferred 4-4-2 formation in this match.

Clearly, he hoped to leverage the influence of the national team matches to threaten the Chinese at home through counter-attacks.

There's nothing we can do about it; there are just so many Chinese national team players at Basworth Field.

Compared to Yang Cheng's previous life, the current Leicester City team is missing Kante and Mahrez, but its overall strength is still not to be underestimated.

From the start of the match, both sides immediately adopted the fast-paced style characteristic of the Premier League.

In the 9th minute, outside the penalty area in his own half, Drinkwater suddenly tackled De Bruyne and successfully intercepted the ball.

The Belgian midfielder was tackled to the ground, but the referee did not blow the whistle to call a foul.

Drinkwater quickly sent a long pass, sending the ball directly behind the Chinese defense of Beswater.

Vardy made a quick forward run, stopped the ball on the left flank of the attacking third, and then, facing Harry Maguire, executed a brilliant nutmeg, forcefully breaking past Maguire and entering the left side of the penalty area before unleashing a low shot into the far corner with his right foot.

The ball struck the inside of the far post and nestled into the Baswater Chinese goal. 1-0!

The King Power Stadium was filled with cheers from Leicester City fans!
They scored the first goal just nine minutes into the game.

But the Chinese in Baswater did not panic because of this.

On the contrary, the team quickly reorganized, especially the midfield, and swiftly regained their footing.

The front trident consists of Gareth Bale, Giroud, and Walcott.

In the 13th minute, Giroud dropped back to receive the ball, turned and sent a through ball behind the defense with his left foot.

Walcott made a quick forward run down the left flank, cutting between Leicester City's right center-back Morgan and right-back De Laté, and caught up with Giroud's pass.

At that moment, Walcott appeared on the left side of Leicester City's penalty area.

The little tiger calmly seized the opportunity and fired a low shot into the far corner with his right foot.

The football nestled into the bottom right corner of the Leicester City goal net.

1 is better than 1!

In just 4 minutes, the Chinese team from Beswater successfully tied the score!

But more importantly, Walcott's goal was almost identical to Vardy's goal.

This was almost a retaliation for Vardy's goal.

Tooth for tooth, eye for eye!
fair enough!
In the 18th minute, Luke Shaw made a run from the back and delivered a left-footed cross into the center of the penalty area.

With Giroud dropping back to the edge of the penalty area, Gareth Bale quickly surged forward, pounced on the loose ball in front of goal, and headed it into the Leicester City net.

2 is better than 1!

Reversal!
Goalkeeper Schmeichel was so angry that he got up from inside the penalty area and roared at his teammates in front of him.

The outstanding goalkeeper was clearly unhappy with the series of goals conceded.

Especially the second goal conceded.

Neither of the two defenders, Morgan and Robert Huth, could keep up with Gareth Bale.

Why?

Because the Chinese players at Baswater were all making runs.

After reversing the score, the Baswater Chinese continued to launch attacks.

In the 33rd minute, Giroud moved to the right wing to receive the pass.

De Bruyne passed the ball to the French center forward, who, without turning, flicked the ball behind him with his left foot.

Kyle Walker made a high-speed run from the outside, caught up with the ball near the byline, and delivered a low cross to the near post.

Gareth Bale easily swept the ball past the right post, sending it back into Leicester City's goal.

3 is better than 1!

Scored twice!

Just four minutes later, the Chinese from Beswater launched a swift counterattack.

De Bruyne delivered a through pass to Gareth Bale on the right flank of the attacking third.

After controlling the ball and getting past Drinkwater, the Welshman took a step to the side, spotted an opportunity, and unleashed a long-range shot with his left foot.

This long-range shot was like a thunderbolt, with extremely high speed. Moreover, after entering the penalty area, it bounced off the ground outside the six-yard box, and after bouncing up, the ball's speed increased even more.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel had no idea that the team would bounce back.

Despite diving to his side, he still couldn't stop the ball from going into the left side of the goal.

4 is better than 1!

hat trick!

After the break in the second half, just three minutes into the second half, Leicester City's attack gave Baswater's Chinese a quick counter-attack down the left flank.

Walcott and Luke Shaw executed a brilliant play.

Luke Shaw dribbled the ball all the way down the left flank.

He rushed to the left side of Leicester City's penalty area and passed the ball across to the center.

Giroud turned near the penalty spot and fired a left-footed shot into the net, sending the ball back into Leicester City's goal.

5 is better than 1!

At this point, the Chinese players at Beswater had essentially secured the victory!

Yang Cheng then immediately made a substitution.

In particular, they substituted Gareth Bale, who has been in excellent form recently.

He needs to save his energy for next Wednesday's Champions League match.

……

Both were in the 5th round.

Unlike Basswater's 5-1 comeback victory against Leicester City, Chelsea suffered a surprising 1-3 defeat away to Everton.

Mourinho's team has indeed had a poor start to the season.

Arsenal defeated Stoke City 2-0 thanks to goals from Sanchez and Benzema.

Manchester City travels south to London for this match, playing away against Crystal Palace.

But it wasn't until the 90th minute that Messi, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal.

They ultimately won 1-0 against Crystal Palace.

The highlight of this round is the Manchester derby.

Manchester United, playing at home, defeated Liverpool 3-1 thanks to goals from Blind, Pogba and Martial.

Especially Martial.

The young Frenchman's goal was reminiscent of Thierry Henry's; after receiving the ball, he maneuvered and darted around the penalty area as if there was no one there, completely disrupting Liverpool's defense, and even scoring the goal himself.

This goal made Martial an instant star in the Premier League!
In the end, Van Gaal's team defeated Klopp's Liverpool 3-1, securing a valuable 3 points.

After this round of matches, only two teams in the Premier League have achieved a five-game winning streak.

That's the Chinese from Basworth and Manchester City.

……

Three days later, the first round of the Champions League group stage will begin.

The Chinese team from Beswathe will host Borussia Mönchengladbach from the Bundesliga.

Yang Cheng's team launched a fierce attack on Borussia Mönchengladbach from the very first minute of the match.

Sterling played on the left wing in this match, while Gareth Bale continued to play on the right wing.

Sterling was extremely active from the start.

Just five minutes later, he dribbled into the penalty area and drew a foul from Borussia Mönchengladbach's center-back Tony Jantschke.

Czech referee Pavel Královic awarded a penalty.

Neither Gareth Bale nor Harry Kane took the free kick; instead, Sterling took it himself.

To everyone's surprise, Sterling's penalty kick was saved by Swiss goalkeeper Sommer.

In this direct confrontation, Sterling lost his composure and was defeated by Sommer.

However, the young English player reacted quickly enough, stepping forward first and sending the ball back into the goal.

He missed a penalty himself, but then put it back into the goal!

This goal broke the deadlock on the field.

But Borussia Mönchengladbach quickly recovered and reorganized their defense.

The first half ended with a score of 1-0.

But just two minutes into the second half, Gareth Bale on the right wing provided an assist, and Harry Kane controlled the ball in the penalty area before unleashing a clever chip shot that once again pierced the goal guarded by Sommer.

2 is better than 0!

In the 58th minute, assisted by Harry Kane, Gareth Bale broke into the right side of the penalty area and scored with a left-footed shot, further extending the lead.

3 is better than 0!

In the 78th minute, again assisted by Harry Kane, Toni Kroos scored with a long-range shot that pierced the goal of Borussia Mönchengladbach.

German midfielders often play with extra energy when playing for their home country's team.

In the end, the Chinese team from Beswathe won 4-0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach at home.

In another match, Porto drew 2-2 with Lyon away from home.

……

This weekend, the 6st round of the Premier League.

Baswaters Chinese will host West Bromwich Albion.

Just five minutes into the game, Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring for his team with a late run into the penalty area and a header.

In the 35th minute, Walcott scored again, extending the lead.

In the second half, in the 72nd minute, substitute Gareth Bale received an assist from Walcott on the left wing and fired a left-footed shot into the near corner from the left side of the penalty area, securing the victory for his team.

Ultimately, the Chinese defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-0.

This is Gareth Bale's ninth Premier League goal so far this season.

He scored 9 goals in 6 league matches!
Most importantly, Gareth Bale has scored in all five of his matches.

The Welshman's performance was absolutely amazing!

In addition, Walcott scored again in this round of matches.

The young tiger has scored in three consecutive Premier League matches.

Yang Cheng gave high praise to the team's current outstanding performance.

Especially Gareth Bell.

"Without a doubt, he is in the prime of his career!"

Yang Cheng believes that Gareth Bale's performance is better than ever before.

“I’m not surprised at all by his state of mind.”

"Because over this period of time, he has always been the first to arrive at the Brent training center and the last to leave."

Yang Cheng stated that Gareth Bell is now a near-perfect assassin.

"Actually, you can tell by looking at his goal statistics this season. He has headers, long shots, and he can use both his left and right feet."

"He is becoming more and more skilled at scoring goals and his physical strength is getting better and better, especially his muscles and core strength."

"More than one person has told me that Gareth Bale is becoming a perfect goal-scoring machine!"

"But I don't think so. He can do more than just score goals."

Yang Cheng believes that Gareth Bale's dribbling skills are underestimated, especially his sense of rhythm while dribbling.

"That long-range shot in the last round is the best proof."

"His dribbling, rhythm and power were impeccable, and the final shot was also amazing."

Gareth Bale came on as a substitute and played for 25 minutes, during which he had 3 shots on goal but also 3 tackles.

Yang Cheng believes this is something many people have overlooked.

"He's not just a scorer; he's also a huge contributor on the defensive end."

In the past 6 league rounds, the Chinese players from Baswater have scored 23 goals.

They also won their first Champions League group stage match 4-0 at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The Chinese players at Baswater have been on an unstoppable scoring spree this season.

This proved many commentators wrong before the season started.

They originally thought that Hazard's departure would affect the offensive firepower of the Baswater Chinese.

After all, last season, the trio of Hazard, Harry Kane, and Gareth Bale was the most threatening combination in Baswater's Chinese attack.

Hazard's ball control and forward runs are an indispensable part of the attacking play.

But what about this season?
Everyone suddenly realized that Walcott was scoring more goals.

Sterling also became more active.

Even Salah was a pleasant surprise.

The Chinese players on Baswater have a faster and sharper offensive rhythm.

Yang Cheng responded with a smile, "This is a credit to the whole team, and it cannot be attributed solely to the forwards."

"Without a doubt, he is a world-class player!"

Yang Cheng gave Walcott extremely high praise.

"Not only him, but Sterling and Salah also have the potential to become world-class players."

Yang Cheng believes that Walcott's greatest advantage lies in his mobility.

He is very fast, has a keen sense of positioning, and is always making runs, which makes all the players who defend him very troublesome and can cause a lot of trouble for the opponent's defense.

"Many people wonder why he is always able to get or create scoring opportunities, it's because he's always running."

Yang Cheng made no attempt to hide his satisfaction with the current roster and his ambitions for this season.

"Continue to aim for more championships?"

"why not?"

"We are fully capable of that, aren't we?"

Yang Cheng's words received a positive response from the players.

Everyone was giving it their all, wanting to do everything they could to help the team achieve even better results!
……

In the same sixth round, Arsenal suffered a major setback.

They lost 1-2 to Mourinho's Chelsea away from home.

However, this match was somewhat controversial.

First, there was the red card during first-half stoppage time.

At that time, Arsenal were leading 1-0.

However, during stoppage time, a clash between Mustafi and Diego Costa resulted in both players receiving a yellow card.

Mustafi then gently pushed Diego Costa away when he tried to shake hands with him to make peace, but the latter immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

The referee gave Mustafi another yellow card, sending him off with a red card.

Wenger was furious on the sidelines.

This is clearly an attempt to stage an accident; should we give them a yellow card?
After the break in the second half, Mourinho's team equalized through a corner kick by Benatia.

But in the 79th minute, Cazorla committed another foul while defending and received another yellow card.

Goodness, he already has a yellow card.

As a result, the Spaniard was sent off with a red card.

Wenger has completely lost it!

As a result, Wenger was also sent off with a red card!
Who can I talk to to explain this?

Mourinho's team didn't score until the 92nd minute of stoppage time, when Arsenal's Chambers "scored" a goal, helping Chelsea to a 2-1 victory over Arsenal at home.

In such a high-stakes match, three red cards and an own goal were scored.

In any case, Wenger was completely out of his depth!
After the game, the professor launched into a tirade against referee Mike Dean.

……

Three days later, the third round of the League Cup.

The Chinese players from Basworth Field visited Craven Cottage to challenge Championship side Fulham.

Yang Cheng still fielded an all-substitute lineup.

In the 33rd minute, Solanke opened the scoring for his team in the penalty area, thanks to an assist from De Bruyne.

This goal remained until the final whistle.

It is worth mentioning that in the second half, Yang Cheng substituted Declan Rice and Arnold.

This is also the first time that the two young players have played for the Chinese team at Baswater.

Declan Rice replaced Casemiro.

Arnold replaced Kyle Walker.

……

This weekend, the 7st round of the Premier League.

Baswater's Chinese players will visit Anfield to challenge Klopp's Liverpool.

So far this season, the Chinese team at Beswaters seems to be unstoppable, winning all the way, but in reality, they have exposed a problem.

And it's a very critical problem.

That is, the pace of the game was too slow at the beginning.

In the Premier League, in the first 6 rounds, the Chinese from Basworth Field only conceded 3 goals, demonstrating their excellent defense.

However, two of the three goals conceded came at the start of the first half, and one came at the start of the second half.

This is actually a very serious problem.

A quick glance at the overall performance of the Chinese players at Baswater makes it easy to reach this conclusion.

Yang Cheng and his team had actually discovered this problem long ago.

Slow start!

This is a problem that almost all teams encounter as they age.

The AC Milan team under Ancelotti, and the Barcelona team under Guardiola in the later stages of his tenure.

They will all encounter similar problems.

This isn't a question of whether the players are focused or not; rather, many older players simply take longer to get into the rhythm.

Unbeknownst to many, the number of veteran players on the Chinese side of Besworth's back line has gradually increased.

This problem will inevitably arise.

However, this problem was completely exposed when facing Liverpool, thanks to Klopp's targeted tactics.

Just 64 seconds into the first half, Coutinho assisted Rakitic, who scored with a long-range shot against the Chinese from Beswain.

Klopp's team then played a tight defense, sparing no effort to withstand the fierce counterattack from the Chinese team at Beswater and holding onto their 1-0 lead.

In the second half, just three minutes after the break, Clyne crossed from the right wing, and Coutinho unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area, which was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Courtois.

But at the crucial moment, Suarez arrived in time and scored on the rebound.

2 is better than 0!

The entire Allianz Arena erupted in cheers!

Both goals came in the opening stages of the game.

Klopp has firmly locked down the Chinese's Achilles' heel!

The subsequent matches seemed to follow the path designed by Klopp.

The Chinese in Bethwater patiently controlled the situation, organizing and planning their attack.

In the 66th minute, Piszczek crossed from the right wing, and Harry Kane shook off Skrtel's marking before slotting the ball home from close range to pull one back for his team.

Just five minutes later, Marcelo broke through on the left wing and crossed the ball to the far post with his left foot. Gareth Bale quickly pressed forward, outjumping Koulibaly, and headed the ball into the goal guarded by Buffon from close range.

2 is better than 2!

draw!

In just 5 minutes, the Chinese players on Baswater scored 2 goals in a row!
But just as the Chinese from Beswain launched a quick attack, trying to equalize the score in one fell swoop, Liverpool launched a counterattack.

After substitute Sturridge and Coutinho completed a one-two pass, Coutinho delivered a dazzling backheel pass inside the penalty area, and Suarez slotted home from near the penalty spot to put Liverpool ahead again.

3 is better than 2!

But in the 87th minute, Modric delivered a brilliant pass from the middle, and Gareth Bale dribbled down the right flank at breakneck speed.

Even as the match was nearing its end, the Welshman still had plenty of energy.

Gareth Bale practically dragged Kolarov all the way into the right side of Liverpool's penalty area before unleashing a right-footed shot.

Goalkeeper Buffon made a one-handed save.

But Harry Kane, who was following up, easily capitalized on the loose ball and put it into the unguarded goal.

3 is better than 3!

Ultimately, the Chinese team from Basworth Land suffered a painful draw against Liverpool away from home.

The two goals conceded in the opening stages completely exposed the problems of the Chinese players at Basworth.

However, the consecutive goals conceded after the 65th minute of the second half exposed Klopp's Liverpool's problems.

Baswater's Chinese team secured their first draw of the season!
