I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 55 Wenger: All Exposed!
Bayswater Chinese beat Portsmouth 3-0 at home!

Overnight, the news spread rapidly across the UK.

All the media are rushing to report on this game and this dark horse.

No one expected that the Chinese in Bayswater would go from the Championship to the League Cup.

Especially in the last two League Cup games, they beat Southampton 4-0 and Portsmouth 3-0. This is by no means easy!
As the Times said in its post-match review.

Southampton and Portsmouth have indeed been in turmoil in recent times, but the overall strength of these two Premier League teams is not bad.

The Saints are a veteran strong team, while Pompey are currently ranked in the middle of the Premier League.

The fact that Bayswater Chinese were able to defeat their two major opponents at home shows their strength.

Especially the 3-0 win over Portsmouth.

This is not just a contest of strength between the two teams, but also a showdown between head coaches.

"Yang Cheng, who is only 24 years old, has thoroughly proved his coaching ability in this game."

The Times believes that with the two sides in a stalemate in the first half, Yang Cheng's substitution of the young player named Piszczek in the midfield became the key turning point of the game.

"It was Piszczek's appearance that activated Ashley Young's attack on the right side, and then activated the team's entire frontcourt offensive."

"Compared to Yang Cheng, Zayech's on-the-spot command in this game seemed particularly immature."

The Times highlighted Ribery.

As early as last season's English League Two, the French winger had attracted the attention of many teams.

The media also took notice of this wing breakthrough player.

This season, Ribery has performed even better in the Championship League and his overall strength is stronger than last season.

Especially in the League Cup.

Whether facing Southampton or Portsmouth, Ribery has put in an excellent performance.

With these two games, he has completely entered the vision of Premier League teams.

Everyone began to notice that Bayswater Chinese in the Championship had such a winger with superb personal abilities.

In addition, after two games against Premier League teams, Aaron Lennon, who scored twice, and Ashley Young, who performed outstandingly, also began to emerge.

Both players are local players.

Finally, The Times did not forget to ridicule its peers.

"Yang Cheng said in the post-match press conference when answering questions from a reporter from XX Newspaper that Portsmouth had taught the Chinese in Bayswater a vivid lesson."

This is Yang Cheng's counterattack against The Sun.

Because before the game, The Sun threatened that the Premier League team would teach Yang Cheng a lesson.

……

All four games of the League Cup quarter-finals have been played.

Manchester United eliminated Arsenal 1-0 at home thanks to Bellion's goal.

Neither team sent out their core players, and Manchester United secured their victory with a sneak attack at the beginning of the game.

This made Wenger very angry.

What made him even more angry was that the Chinese in Bayswater actually beat Portsmouth.

Ribery also scored twice!

The next day, major media reported on the Chinese in Bayswater, Yang Cheng and Ribery. The outstanding midfielder Las Diarra also received a lot of attention.

This made Wenger frown even more.

He now felt a sense of loss as if the secret he had secretly kept for many years was suddenly made public.

Ribery, Lass Diarra and Koscielny are all French players and all performed well.

Over the past year, Wenger has arranged for Steve Lawley to visit the Chinese in Bayswater many times, with an eye on these players.

Now, it’s all exposed!
"With the upward momentum Ribery is showing now, I'm afraid £1000 million won't be enough to buy him."

Wenger said with frustration.

He has always had a soft spot for French players, let alone players like Ribery.

"He has performed very well in the Championship and has scored eight goals in the league. He is the true offensive core of the Bayswater Chinese team." Assistant coach Pat Rice knew what Wenger was thinking.

"And Las Diarra is getting better and better," said Steve Lawley.

"At first, I thought he would be like Makelele, but after a few months of playing, Yang Cheng used him in an interesting way, more like a No. 8 position, giving him a lot of room to move around."

Wenger nodded. Yang Cheng's use of Las Diarra really made him see the light.

For Arsenal now, Wenger has been thinking about one issue.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for Vieira to stay.

The 29-year-old French midfielder could no longer hold back.

If Vieira leaves, there will only be one Gilberto Silva left in the midfield.

The Brazilian defensive midfielder's tactical positioning at Arsenal is a bit like Huddlestone's Chinese position at Bayswater.

Another position is Fabregas.

If Las Diarra could come, wouldn't it be perfect to fill the midfield position?

The idea was tempting, but Wenger quickly rejected it.

Playing in the Championship for the Chinese at Bayswater is completely different from playing in the Premier League for Arsenal.

Las Diarra will have to wait and see.

Ribery's current rapid development has put Wenger in a difficult position.

With Pires, Ljungberg and Reyes, Pennant did not transfer in the summer.

Arsenal has no shortage of good players on the wing.

If Ribery's price was lower, Wenger could make a move.

just now……

But Wenger feels it would be a pity to miss a player like Ribery.

Still a Frenchman.

Difficult!

……

"Did they really let that amateur team make it to the semi-finals?"

At almost the same time, at home in Knightsbridge, Abramovich looked at Pini Zahavi in ​​disbelief.

The Israelites did not look happy.

Because before the game, he vowed that the Chinese from Bayswater could not beat Portsmouth.

That's a mid-table team in the Premier League.

The result is now...

Slap, slap, slap, three slaps!

"Is that Ribery really that strong?"

"It's OK, but not as good as Robben."

Arjen Robben, the powerful winger that Chelsea brought in from PSV Eindhoven this summer, immediately won praise from all over the world. His lightning speed made the Dutchman the most important offensive weapon for Chelsea.

"I heard that he can also play on the right. There is also Aaron Lennon, who scored twice against Southampton. He is very fast. The Chinese in Bayswater have a good eye for selecting players."

Abramovich read all this in the newspapers.

The corners of Pini Zahavi's mouth twitched slightly.

"Roman, if we buy Bayswater Chinese players, isn't that the same as helping them alleviate their debt?"

Abramovich was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Pini Zahavi meant.

The Russian snorted twice. "Looking at the current situation, I guess their debt is not a big problem."

But no matter what, he still wanted to force the Chinese in Bayswater to submit.

He is determined to get that piece of land!
Perhaps we can think of a solution from the government.

After all, it was an unfinished project.

It would be fine if it didn't look good on ordinary days, but if the bid for the Olympics was successful and such a conspicuous scar was left behind, wouldn't that be a joke to the whole world?

Having made up his mind, Abramovich no longer hesitated.

"Now, I hope we can meet this team in the semi-finals."

When Abramovich said this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"To avenge the arrow shot last season!"

……

"This Las Diarra is interesting."

At Manchester United's training base at Carrington in Manchester, Ferguson also read the morning newspaper.

He noticed Las Diarra.

He is so good at running and stealing!

Isn't this the kind of midfielder Manchester United needs right now?

Old captain Roy Keane will be 34 years old after this season.

Ferguson has also been looking for Keane's successor.

"And Ribery." Assistant coach Queiroz recommended with a smile.

"Now, we have brought in Saha and Rooney, plus Cristiano Ronaldo. If we can sign Ribery, our frontcourt attacking trident will be complete."

Everyone knows that Queiroz has a bad relationship with Manchester United's main center forward Van Nistelrooy.

In the tactical system developed by the Portuguese for Manchester United, there is no Van Nistelrooy in the front trident.

The reason is simple, Van Nistelrooy's characteristics do not conform to the current trend of football.

Saha can get the ball with his back to goal, Rooney can hold it up front, and Cristiano Ronaldo is on the right and is very fast.

Ronaldinho's playing style seems flashy, but his efficiency is very low and he doesn't pose much threat. Manchester United has been adjusting his tactical role and changing his playing style to make him play more concisely.

From the current perspective, Manchester United lacks a player who can dribble and break through in the frontcourt.

If Ribery is introduced, Ronaldinho's pressure will be greatly relieved.

What's more, Giggs is already 31 years old.

Ferguson glanced at his assistant and understood.

Queiroz attaches great importance to Cristiano Ronaldo and has been carefully cultivating this young Portuguese player.

But in the eyes of Ferguson and Manchester United, Rooney is the future of the team and a well-deserved trump card.

However, Ribery is a player worth noting.

Well, there's also Lars Diarra.

……

When the whole of Britain was shocked by the dark horse Bayswater Chinese, the draw for the League Cup semi-finals was soon announced.

According to the schedule, entering the semi-finals will become a home and away double-round system.

The Chinese from Bayswater drew Manchester United and Liverpool drew Chelsea.

On January 1, Bayswater Chinese will visit Old Trafford to play the first leg of the semi-final.

After the draw results came out, the whole of Britain was in an uproar again.

The dark horse journey is basically over.

In fact, even before the draw, everyone was pessimistic about the prospects of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Because the other three teams in the semi-finals are all Premier League giants.

No matter who I meet, I will never advance.

What's more, now we are facing Manchester United led by Ferguson.

……

Yang Cheng did not respond to the outside world's pessimism, but instead concentrated on leading the team in the game.

In the 22nd round of the Championship, Bayswater Chinese played at home and beat Rotherham 4-1 with Ribery's double, Kitson and Modric's goals.

This afternoon, the attendance at Loftus Road Stadium exceeded 1, and the upward trend is very encouraging.

The most important thing is that Bayswater Chinese have good home results and a pleasing style of play. In addition, they have made a name for themselves in the League Cup, so London fans are naturally willing to pay.

A week later, in the 23rd round of the Championship, Bayswater Chinese traveled to south London to challenge Millwall away.

In the end, thanks to Kitson's goal in the 21st minute and Aaron Lennon's solo goal in the 78th minute, they defeated Millwall 2-0 away, won 3 points again and achieved two consecutive victories.

Anyone can see that defeating Premier League teams twice in the League Cup has greatly boosted the confidence of the Chinese in Bayswater.

This allows them to perform more easily when facing opponents in the Championship.

April 12th, the 17th round of the Championship.

This is also the last game before Christmas.

Bayswater Chinese host Stoke City at home.

The attendance at Loftus Road Stadium once again set a new league record, reaching 17759 people, very close to full capacity.

But what made Yang Cheng even happier was that in the 27th minute, Piszczek made a diagonal pass from the right, accurately transferring the ball from the right side thirty meters away to the left side of the penalty area.

Ribery made a run after being offside, stopped the ball with his chest, and then made a lob shot, breaking through Stoke City's goal.

After that, the Chinese in Bayswater took steady steps and firmly controlled the situation.

Until the second half, in the 69th and 70th minutes, Bayswater Chinese scored two goals in just 2 minutes.

First Koscielny scored from a corner kick, then Huddlestone intercepted the ball in the midfield and made a long shot.

3 is better than 0!

Bayswater Chinese won a complete victory over Stoke City at home, achieving three consecutive wins.

After this round of games, Bayswater Chinese got 24 points with 14 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in 46 games, the same as Sunderland, but ranked third in the Championship with the advantage of goal difference.

Ipswich Town are at the top of the table with 49 points, followed by Wigan Athletic with 47 points.

The whole team is very satisfied with the current situation.
