I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 54 The boiling stadium

Kevin Fury looked a little lonely when he learned that he was going to be substituted.

He actually knew his problem all along.

Both Yang Cheng and the coaching staff have been helping him.

But some habits and some ideas come from his personality and are really difficult to change.

But replacing Kevin Fury with Piszczek surprised everyone.

In their impression, isn't Piszczek a front-line attacker?

The half-time break is only 15 minutes and the players have even less time in the locker room.

Yang Cheng didn't have time to explain slowly.

He singled out Las Diarra for praise because his performance in the first half was really outstanding.

"In the second half, you can move the ball-grabbing area a little further forward, even to the opponent's 30-meter area, but after grabbing the ball, remember to pass it immediately, and there must be teammates around you."

Las Diarra had just been praised by the head coach and was in a good mood, so he nodded in agreement quickly.

After Yang Cheng glanced at him, he added, "If you can steal the ball in this area and pass it to Ribery, Kitson, Ashley Young or Modric, I will count it as two steals for you."

The French black boy's eyes immediately lit up, and his black face lit up, revealing a mouthful of shiny white teeth.

Everyone in the locker room knew Las Diarra's family situation, so naturally they would not have any objection to his greed for money.

As for the extra subsidy given by Yang Cheng, it was paid out of the head coach's own pocket.

"Ribery and Ashley Young, follow our plan before the game. You can switch positions and try to cooperate with the full-backs. Both flanks must be active!"

Both wingers nodded in unison.

Only when the wing is active can the defense be opened up and heavy troops will not be gathered in the middle.

The ribs will have a chance.

After explaining almost everything that needed to be explained, Yang Cheng looked up at the time.

"Everyone."

Yang Cheng clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention.

The players are basically ready and can play at any time.

"We played well in the first half. Even though it was 0-0, we were better than our opponents in terms of both the scene and the opportunities. They are a Premier League team!"

Premier League teams are a thrill for the Chinese players at Bayswater.

"Believe me, the other side is now at the end of their strength, they are relying on this breath to hold on."

"As long as we can seize the opportunity in the second half and score the first goal..."

“Just one goal!!!”

Yang Cheng tried his best to encourage the players' morale, and even his neck became hoarse from shouting.

"Believe me, as long as we score first, the game will belong to us and they will immediately fall apart!"

"come on!!!"

Yang Cheng clapped loudly, hugged the players who were about to play one by one, and sent them out of the locker room.

When it came to Piszczek, Yang Cheng deliberately left him for last.

The two walked towards the passage together.

"Lukash, whether it's Ashley Young or Ribery, you must be bold to move forward. If they are on the wing, you go to the flank. If they go to the flank, you go to the flank. Do you understand?"

Piszczek nodded heavily.

Before going on the court, he began to feel the pressure of the game.

"It's okay. I have full confidence in you. You are definitely not an ordinary player. You just haven't found your position yet."

"Believe in me, and believe in yourself!"

Piszczek turned to look at the head coach and nodded heavily again.

……

The game starts again.

This was Piszczek's first time playing as a defender.

Before that, he didn't even know how a defender should play.

I have never practiced defense specifically.

He asked Jose Fonte when he was queuing to enter just now.

The Portuguese encouraged him with a smile: "It's okay, just defend. If you lose the ball, grab it. If you can't grab it, run back and maintain the formation."

"Don't worry, we're behind you."

Thinking of this, Piszczek couldn't help but let out a long breath.

How could you not be worried?
After the change of sides in the second half, Bayswater Chinese continued to maintain their offensive momentum.

Although Piszczek is a winger, he played as a full-back after coming on the pitch, which was considered a positional substitution, so Portsmouth did not make too many adjustments. They must have thought that Kevin Foley was injured or something.

In the first few minutes, Bayswater Chinese still focused on attacking from the left.

This is also the consistent characteristic of the team.

Ribery's outstanding personal abilities were brought into play, using his dribbling and breakthroughs to attract the attention of the defense and distract the defense.

Piszczek got the ball several times, all in transition.

But he was always observing.

By the 49th minute, Yang Cheng was still not satisfied with the trend of the second half, and called Modric and Heddlestone, signaling them to change the direction of attack.

Portsmouth attaches great importance to Ribery.

Hit the right side!
Soon, more balls were passed to the right.

Piszczek didn't have time to think too much, he was more focused on catching the ball, passing the ball, and running into space...

Yang Cheng called out to Piszczek and gestured to him to seize the opportunity and move forward boldly.

Piszczek nodded to the head coach on the sidelines.

But he also didn't know when the right time would be.
Until the 53rd minute.

At that time, the ball was in the middle and was passed to Kitson's feet in front of the penalty area.

Kitson stopped the ball after leaning his body against the defender, but was unable to turn around and was forced to dribble the ball back to the right side and pass it to Ashley Young.

Ashley Young stopped the ball with his back to the penalty area outside the right corner of the penalty area, and first pretended to go to the bottom line.

But the defenders were already there.

So he had to give up the idea.

At that moment, Piszczek saw Portsmouth's No. 26 Gary O'Neill approaching Ashley Young.

This was an attempt to double-team Ashley Young on the right wing and cut off his passing options.

With this thought in mind, Piszczek immediately ran forward quickly.

He was very fast and was shouting as he ran.

"here!"

Ashley Young also noticed Gary O'Neal and was worried about whether he would be double-teamed.

Hearing Piszczek's shout, he immediately looked over.

The smart Piszczek gave up the right sideline and ran to the ribs, creating a passing route right between O'Neill and left-back David Unsworth.

Ashley Young passed the ball without hesitation.

Piszczek has been at Bayswater Chinese for a few months. He has learned a lot from Yang Cheng and the coaches, especially some training and advanced football concepts. When he saw Ashley Young pass the ball, he kept observing.

He saw Modric in the middle also running into space, and Dave Kitson was still in the top area.

Suddenly, a scene played out in his mind.

So, the moment he stopped the ball, he took a step diagonally towards the middle.

The defensive player ran over as he expected.

Piszczek passed the ball and it landed right behind the defender.

Modric made a forward run and stopped the ball at the right edge of the penalty area.

The Croatian players seemed to be dribbling the ball forward and breaking into the penalty area.

This surprised everyone around.

But after the defensive players were attracted, Modric suddenly pointed east and shot west, and passed the ball to Dave Kitson at the top of the arc.

When the England center forward stopped the ball, turned around and was about to shoot, center back De Zeeuw blocked him in time and kicked the ball away.

But the attack is not over yet.

Portsmouth's midfielder failed to intercept the ball outside the arc. After touching it, the ball rolled to the left side of the penalty area line.

At this moment, a red figure came rushing over quickly, without even stopping the ball. After standing still with his left foot, he shot the ball directly with his right foot.

The football flew out like a cannonball, over the heads of the players in the penalty area and into the Portsmouth goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 53rd minute, in the 53rd minute, the Chinese from Bayswater took the lead in breaking through Portsmouth's goal!"

"Franck Ribery's wonderful long shot from the left side of the penalty area."

"1 to 0!"

The entire Loftus Road stadium was lit up in an instant.

After scoring the goal, Ribery turned around and ran excitedly, and all the Chinese players of Bayswater chased after him.

After a stalemate of more than 50 minutes, a goal was finally scored!
……

"Good job!"

Yang Cheng was on the sidelines, with his hands covering his mouth, shouting loudly at the players.

"Stay focused, keep pressing, and don't slack off!"

Turning around, he saw Brian Kidd and others smiling.

"That kid Piszczek was very smart when he made that forward run just now," Brian Kidd praised.

That was the key to the goal.

If he hadn't gone up, Ashley Young would have been more likely to take the ball out of bounds or even have it intercepted.

"Just kidding, he is a winger!" Yang Cheng was quite proud.

Piszczek is a smart guy and is improving rapidly.

As long as there is a good start, many things will go smoothly afterwards.

If he can get more playing time, I believe Piszczek will not resist playing as a full-back.

At that time, all we need to do is to improve his defensive skills appropriately.

……

Just as Yang Cheng said during the halftime break.

When the Bayswater Chinese broke through Portsmouth's goal, the Pompey Army was really thrown into disarray.

Logically speaking, when Premier League teams face Championship teams, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.

This is the time to catch up.

But throughout the game, they were suppressed by the home team and could not organize any threatening attacks.

In this situation, there were ideological differences among the players on the field.

As the head coach, Zayec made a serious mistake by failing to give timely instructions or make adjustments to unify the team's thinking at this critical moment.

In the 59th minute, Las Diarra took advantage of the opponent's midfielder Borg getting the ball, rushed out from behind, successfully intercepted the ball, and launched a counterattack with the ball, passing it to Modric outside the penalty area.

The Croatian player didn't stop the ball and sent a surgical pass.

Ribery cut into the penalty area from the left rib, caught up with Modric's pass, stopped, and pushed.

The ball rolled into Portsmouth's goal again.

2 is better than 0!

Loftus Road is boiling again!

No one expected that another goal would be scored just 6 minutes later.

Zayec also reacted at this time and immediately made substitutions.

But his substitutions are also confusing.

In the midst of the team's confusion, he replaced David Unsworth with attacking midfielder Mezag.

This is a signal to strengthen the team's offense.

Just five minutes later, he replaced striker Ricardo Fuller with striker Yakubu.

This shows his determination to fight to the end.

But at this time we were already 2 goals behind.

The morale of Portsmouth players suffered a severe blow.

Yang Cheng also made decisive adjustments, signaling the team to strengthen the attack on the right.

David Unsworth has good defensive ability. When he is replaced, there will be no one on the left side and the only option is to rely on the central defender to move to the side.

But that gives Dave Kitson a chance.

This targeted adjustment really worked.

In the 82nd minute, Piszczek made another forward run and completed a beautiful two-pass with Ashley Young on the right side.

Ashley Young caught up with the ball on the right side of the penalty area and made a cross.

Dave Kitson in the middle quickly inserted himself, overpowered the defender, and headed the ball from close range, slamming the ball into the Portsmouth goal.

The whole audience cheered again!
3 is better than 0!

“I never expected that!”

"After Bayswater Chinese made substitutions in the second half, they completely got rid of the difficulties in the first half."

"Especially the new right-back Piszczek, who was very active and also activated Ashley Young."

"Two of the three goals came from planning on the right wing."

"I have to say that Yang Cheng's substitutions during the halftime break were very timely and effective."

"On the contrary, it's Portsmouth. Zajec has been away from the first-line coaching for too long."

After scoring three goals in a row, the Bayswater Chinese continued to attack on the field.

Even in the 88th minute, De Zeeuw fouled Dave Kitson at the edge of the penalty area, giving Bayswater Chinese a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

Ribery took the free kick, but it was slightly high and he missed the precious opportunity for a hat trick.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Portsmouth 3-0 at home with Ribery's double goal and Kitson's goal!
