I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 44 This cross is so accurate!

"Boss."

The day after the game against Reading, after the morning training session, Las Diarra followed Yang Cheng all the way.

In a deserted place, he called out Yang Cheng and ran quickly to him.

Then, he extended his hand very rudely.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

Give me money!

Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing when he saw his money-loving appearance.

"How many?"

"We agreed that the data from Sky Sports shall prevail," Las Diarra said confidently.

"Ah."

"I robbed seven balls and conceded two, you have to give me £7."

Yang Cheng was straightforward, "No problem, just come with me to the office to get it."

Las Diarra immediately laughed happily.

But when he arrived at Yang Cheng's office and got the money, the expression on his face became depressed again.

"It's all the fault of those bastards in Reading. They avoided me afterwards and passed the ball as soon as they saw me passing by."

Las Diarra was furious at the end of his speech, as if he had been badly cheated.

Yang Cheng didn't think it was a big deal.

Those players at Reading are not stupid.

Even if the players are stubborn, is Steve Coppell also stubborn?

Seeing that Las Diarra's side is difficult to deal with, why do you keep coming this way?
Isn't this just a brain disease?
"You should think more about why we lost two goals." Yang Cheng said with a laugh.

Las Diarra became even more depressed.

Of course he knew how those two balls were lost.

Yang Cheng didn't care either.

He had coached for so many years in his previous life and had coached countless young players. He knew that children of this age have strong self-esteem and must be given enough respect.

Even if it is for their own good, we still have to pay attention to the methods and ways.

Yang Cheng secretly laughed when he saw Las Diarra took the money but showed no intention of leaving.

"How about it? Do you dare to gamble again?"

Sure enough, upon hearing what Yang Cheng said, Las Diarra nodded without hesitation, "Bet, definitely bet."

This is giving him money, why doesn’t he gamble?

Are you stupid?
Yang Cheng didn't know that after the game yesterday, Las Diarra returned to his rented house and called his parents in France to tell them that he had earned an extra 300 pounds.

Converted into euros, that's 450 euros.

This is the income that their parents may not be able to earn even if they work hard for several days.

His father also thought that Las Diarra had a promising future in what he was doing, so he encouraged him to work harder.

"Okay, from now on, every time you play a game, you must follow this standard."

Yang Cheng was also happy to continue the bet. "But I have to remind you, if you are not in good shape and the balls you grab are not enough to make up for the balls you lose, then I have made a promise that it will be deducted from your salary."

Las Diyala nodded nonchalantly, "No, definitely not."

As long as there is money to be made, he will fight hard in every game.

"Let me play in the next game against Plymouth?" the French boy volunteered.

But Yang Cheng shook his head, "You have to take a rest for the midweek game."

"No, Boss, I'm fine. I'm in good health and good physical condition. Look..."

Yang Cheng looked at Las Diyala without any doubt, and said nothing.

The French gradually fell silent.

Yang Cheng and the coaching staff have already told them why they need to take a rest.

On the one hand, it is to balance the playing time of the entire team.

But more importantly, for many young players, playing too many games too early will be detrimental to their future career development.

So rotation is needed.

……

Three days later, on the evening of August 3, the Bayswater Chinese played their first official match at Loftus Road.

In the second round of the Championship, we faced Plymouth at home.

The two teams were old rivals in the English League Two last season.

Yang Cheng still played 433, but the lineup was rotated.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;

Defense: Capaldi, Jose Fonte, Roger Johansson and Koscielny;

Midfield: Leon Andreasson in the back, Gerhan Inler and Modric in front;

Forwards: Ribery, Kitson and Ashley Young.

Yang Cheng rotated several players in the team.

Especially the right back Kevin Fury, who became Koscielny.

A very important reason is that Yang Cheng has not yet discussed the position change with Piszczek.

This is not a simple matter.

A player is a living person with his own ideas and will.

Piszczek has always played as a right winger or even a forward, and he just shined in the U19 European Championship.

In this situation, would it work to suddenly tell him that he is more suitable to play as a right back, or even press him down and force him to submit without thinking twice?

Yang Cheng’s ideas are still very clear.

Step by step.

Let him experience the difficulty of playing as a striker in the Championship first, and then talk to him slowly.

It is worth mentioning that although the game was moved to Loftus Road, it still attracted 7387 fans, exceeding the club's previous expectation of 5 people.

This in turn verified Yang Cheng's previous judgment.

As long as the team performs well and the results improve, the attendance rate will gradually increase.

The two sides are no strangers to each other.

Yang Cheng was full of confidence in the strength of Bayswater Chinese, so he set up his stance at home and pressed Plymouth in attack.

Just 11 minutes into the game, Ribery and Dave Kitson created a very dangerous attacking opportunity in front.

Although Kitson failed to grab Ribery's pass, it caused Plymouth center back Graham Coughlan to score an own goal.

1 is better than 0!

The Chinese in Bayswater then kept trying to launch offensives, while Plymouth adopted a defensive counterattack strategy.

Before the end of the first half, Swiss midfielder Gerhan Inler made a late run and shot the ball into Plymouth's goal again.

2 is better than 0!

This score remained the same until the end of the game. In the 61st minute of the second half, Yang Cheng replaced Ribery with Piszczek, letting Ashley Young play on the left and Piszczek play on the right.

Although the Polish winger had several good performances on the right, he failed to create any threat.

After the game, Yang Cheng also specially comforted him and expressed his trust in him.

"I believe that once you get familiar with and integrate into the team, everything will be fine."

……

After defeating Reading 3-0 in the first round, Bayswater Chinese topped the Championship standings with the advantage of goal difference.

In the second round, they defeated Plymouth again, achieving two consecutive victories.

This is the only team in the Championship League to win two games in a row at the start of this season.

Bayswater Chinese also retained the top spot in the standings.

This surprised everyone.

As a newly promoted team, Queens Park Rangers had one draw and one loss, including a 0-3 away loss to Watford in the second round.

Plymouth also had one draw and one loss.

There are 3 newly promoted teams, 2 struggling near the relegation zone, and only Bayswater Chinese tops the list.

Although everyone knew it was only temporary, they were still surprised.

Many media have even begun to pay attention to this new Championship team.

After two rounds of the Championship, all teams except Derby County have scored points.

This also shows how intense the Championship is right now.

……

At the weekend, Queens Park Rangers still played away games, and Bayswater Chinese played two home games in a row.

But this time the team drew 1-1 with Coventry at home.

On the one hand, it is the impact of continuous combat and rotation, and on the other hand, it is the result of fierce competition in the Championship.

The goal was lost in the 69th minute.

After failing to score for a long time, the team became a little impatient.

After Modric was intercepted in the midfield, Coventry launched a quick counterattack.

Huddlestone failed to get into position in time to protect the penalty area, and was blocked by the opponent's midfielder Stephen Hughes who came in from behind and shot a long shot into Joe Hart's goal.

However, in the crucial 89th minute, Gianni Vio's set-piece tactics worked again.

Roger Johnson scored a crucial header to equalize the score for Bayswater Chinese.

In the end, both sides shook hands and made peace.

However, despite the draw, Bayswater Chinese relied on the advantage of 1 goal difference to surpass Wigan Athletic and continue to maintain the top position.

But Yang Cheng still sensed some crisis.

The team is too young.

……

August 8st, afternoon, Brick Community Stadium, Wigan.

In the 4th round of the Championship, Bayswater Chinese challenged Wigan Athletic away.

This is a duel between the top and second place teams in the Championship to decide who will take the lead.

After a week of rest, both sides can be said to have given their all.

Both Wigan Athletic head coach Paul Jewell and Yang Cheng chose to send out their main players.

After a week of rest, the three midfielders of Las Diarra, Modric and Huddlestone all showed excellent form and helped the team control the situation from the start.

But Wigan Athletic's defense was extremely well organized.

Paul Jewell even arranged two players, Matt Jackson and Per Fransen, to attack Ribery from the front and back.

This put the French winger in a difficult position.

Modric was arranged as left central midfielder in this game, but he has not yet adapted to this position and his cooperation with Ribery is not tacit enough.

On the contrary, Las Diarra performed well as always, and was responsible for stealing the ball and passing it.

But sometimes they get robbed.

Originally, this situation made Yang Cheng feel relieved.

Unexpectedly, in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Wigan Athletic's left-back Leighton Baines suddenly made a quick run from behind, and after receiving the pass from his teammate, he made a cross that accurately found Nathan Ellington at the back of the goal.

Yang Cheng was a little confused watching from the sidelines.

This cross was such a show!
At that moment, he really remembered Beckham's curve ball.

It’s so damn accurate!
Nathan Ellington, who is only 1 meters tall, managed to grab the ball and head the ball into the goal from close range among the Bayswater Chinese defenders who were at least 78 meters tall.

What else can Yang Cheng say?

"That number 26 is interesting." Brian Kidd said with a wry smile.

He was the one who trained Beckham, so naturally he felt this cross was very familiar.

The difference is that Beckham is on the right and Leighton Baines is on the left.

Yang Cheng really wanted to tell him that this was Leighton Baines, the future top left-back in the Premier League, the guy that both Manchester United and Bayern Munich were unable to get.

"This was a beautiful cross, and with center forward Jason Roberts providing cover in the front, his cross had a beautiful arc and landed very accurately. There was no other way!" Brian Kidd said helplessly.

That's how football games happen sometimes.

What else could Yang Cheng say?

……

Wigan Athletic's defense is really solid.

The most important thing is that they adopted the double forward style of play with one tall and one fast, and were extremely determined in defensive counterattacks.

This is a headache for the Chinese in Bayswater.

After the change of sides in the second half, the visiting team continued to organize offensives.

Yang Cheng was also very aggressive in making substitutions, and even used up his three substitution quota early on.

On the field, the Chinese in Bayswater had the upper hand.

But they were never able to break through Wigan Athletic's goal.

Until the end of the game, the score was still 0-1.

After losing to Wigan Athletic away from home, Bayswater Chinese also gave up the leading throne and the ranking dropped to 5th place.

Regarding this result, Yang Cheng comforted his players in the locker room after the game.

"The league is still long, everything has just begun!"

Yang Cheng believes that losing the lead is not a bad thing for Bayswater Chinese.

Young players should experience some hardship and stimulation so that they can improve faster.

"I believe that you all know, as I do, that we are not yet mentally prepared to be the leader."

"What we need to do now is not to focus on the leading position, but to do our best and improve our performance and strength."

"As long as we perform better and show our strongest strength, we will definitely take back what belongs to us!"
