I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 59 A great shame and humiliation

The first half ended with Rooney's long shot.

The English genius' long-range shot was powerful, but it went well over the crossbar and failed to pose a threat.

Just like Manchester United's performance throughout the first half.

It seems to take the initiative, but in fact it is not a big threat.

On the contrary, the Chinese in Bayswater made several successful counterattacks and even scored a goal.

"Manchester United's midfield control is not as strong as before."

Brian Kidd walked side by side with Yang Cheng towards the locker room, and said with a sigh in his heart.

Back then, the golden four midfielders he and Ferguson carefully created, Giggs, Scholes, Roy Keane and Beckham, swept across Europe with their excellent running and passing.

But now, Beckham has gone to Spain, Giggs, Scholes and Roy Keane are all over 30 years old, no longer as brave as they used to be, and their running ability has also declined a lot compared to the past.

As a result, Manchester United's midfield control is not as strong as before.

No matter how powerful a dynasty is, it cannot defeat the passage of time.

"Manchester United's defense also has some problems, especially on the side of Phil Neville and O'Shea," said Yang Cheng.

In the first half, Ribery was very active.

This is certainly because of his strong personal ability, but also because of Manchester United's weak defense.

Gary Neville is injured, and only Phil Neville and O'Shea can take on this position.

But in the middle, Ferdinand is also injured and has long been said to miss the game against Liverpool, let alone the League Cup.

Another center back, Wes Brown, is also injured.

This has resulted in Manchester United not having enough central defenders. Silvester, Heinze, O'Shea and Gerard Pique are Ferguson's choices.

But one of Sylvester and Heinze has to play as left back, so there are few options for central defenders.

Ferguson obviously still doesn't dare to trust Gerard Pique too much.

This future main central defender of Barcelona's Dream Team III and the Spanish dynasty will not turn 2 until February. Although Ferguson values ​​him very much, he still does not dare to entrust him with important tasks.

So, Ferguson chose O'Shea and Sylvester.

But in the game, O'Shea and Phil Neville on the right side were clearly unable to suppress Ribery.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng had an idea in his mind.

Back in the locker room, he first affirmed the team's performance in the first half.

The 0-0 result did not disappoint the Bayswater Chinese.

This is Old Trafford.

The opponent is Manchester United!

But Yang Cheng still pointed out some problems the team had in the first half.

Las Diarra is very active in defense and covers a wide range, but he sometimes fails to return to defense in time.

"We need to make some slight adjustments to our strategy for the second half."

"Frank."

Yang Cheng walked up to Ribery.

"You have to be more active in the second half, with Phil Neville and John O'Shea, trying to open up a gap."

"Luca, Ricky."

Without waiting for Ribery's response, Yang Cheng turned and pointed at Modric.

"You will be responsible for the support."

"Alan, your mission is still to contain Heinze and strike back decisively when you have the chance."

When Las Diarra and Andreasen were both on the court and performed well, Yang Cheng was actually quite confident about the team's defense.

Although Kevin Fury is only 20 years old, he has a stable personality and can be a good player if he focuses on defense.

"OK!"

When Yang Cheng saw that the time was almost up, he clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention.

"I believe that after the first half, everyone should have a full understanding of Manchester United's strength and the intensity of this game."

"The 0-0 draw proves that we are no worse than Manchester United and that we have more threatening attacks than Manchester United."

“This proves that we were right in the first half!”

"But in the second half we have to change our style of play, take the initiative and force Manchester United into a war of attrition!"

In terms of the schedule, it is impossible for Ferguson not to consider the Manchester derby this weekend.

If he fights too hard against the Bayswater Chinese in this match, what will he use to play against Liverpool at the weekend?

……

Sure enough, during the half-time break, Ferguson made a decisive substitution.

Giggs replaced Scholes.

After the substitution, Rooney's position appeared in the middle and Giggs played on the left.

Manchester United's formation is actually a bit like a 4411, with Rooney lurking behind Saha.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United took the initiative.

Less than a minute later, Rooney got the ball in the frontcourt and earned a free kick from Koscielny.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo's direct free kick failed to pose a threat.

But the Bayswater Chinese were not daunted.

On the contrary, after the kick-off, the Chinese in Bayswater took the initiative to attack.

Especially on Ribery's side.

Although the first attack in the second half was resolved by Manchester United, the frontcourt players of Bayswater Chinese launched a counterattack on the spot.

Ribery even got in front of goalkeeper Howard, forcing the American goalkeeper to make a mistake in his hasty clearance.

Las Diarra's hasty long shot failed to reach Manchester United's goal.

But it also made Manchester United break out in a cold sweat.

But just one minute later, the Chinese in Bayswater made a comeback.

When Ribery stopped the ball on the left rib, he cleverly got rid of Phil Neville, and then deceived O'Shea with a flexible feint on the left side of the penalty area. He dribbled into the penalty area and shot low with his left foot.

Goalkeeper Howard fell to the ground to save the ball, but failed to stop Ribery's shot.

On the contrary, at the far point, Heinze arrived in time, rushed into the small penalty area, and kicked the ball away.

Three minutes later, when everyone thought that the Chinese players in Bayswater were targeting Ribery's side, Andreassen suddenly made a diagonal pass and Lennon rushed forward along the right side.

On the right side outside the penalty area, facing Heinze, Lennon wanted to use his speed advantage to break through the Argentine defender.

As a result, Heinze made a fierce tackle and knocked Lennon and the ball out of the penalty area.

This scene happened right under Yang Cheng's nose, and he immediately pointed at Heinze in anger.

"Butcher! Murderer! Give him a red card!"

Manchester United fans are fed up.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United's performance was not ideal, especially in the second half, when they were taken advantage of by the Chinese from Bayswater. They had been holding back their anger for a long time.

Now this young guy actually dares to act so presumptuous here?
As a result, there was a barrage of boos in the stadium.

There were even some insults and discriminatory remarks mixed in. The referee Barry rushed out to comfort Yang Cheng, who was showing signs of going berserk.

But he repeatedly stressed that this was not a flagrant foul.

When Yang Cheng saw Aaron Lennon getting up from the ground as if nothing had happened, he really had the urge to rush up and kick him in the butt.

You should go to the Film Academy and study hard!

At critical moments, you should just lie down and wail, understand?

So fucking straightforward!
The referee eventually showed Heinze a yellow card but gave the Argentine a stern warning.

It probably means that if it happens again, you will get a red card.

Yang Cheng was still complaining on the sidelines, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

……

"I even doubt whether this bastard came back from Hollywood."

Ferguson walked back to the coaching seat angrily, sat down and cursed.

Heinze's defense seemed fierce, but there was no intention to hurt anyone, which is common in the Premier League.

Experienced defenders always hope to intimidate young opponents in this way.

Yang Cheng's big reaction clearly showed that he was pretending to be ignorant and acting.

This made him even more annoyed.

The first half was not going well, and the situation in the second half did not develop as he expected.

"This kid is very smart. He understood our mentality and knew we had to save our strength for the away game against Liverpool at the weekend."

Assistant coach Queiroz said with a serious face.

How could Ferguson not know?

It's like two people fighting.

One had his hands and feet tied, while the other was completely free.

It’s so frustrating!

"We underestimated the strength of the Chinese in Bayswater!" Ferguson sighed helplessly.

Queiroz was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ferguson to admit his mistake.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

In the FA Cup match against Exeter, Ferguson chose to send him on the bench, and the result was a draw.

He learned from his experience and played with almost all the main lineup against Bayswater Chinese, but he also reminded the players to save some energy for the weekend's Manchester derby.

I didn't expect the game to turn out like that in the first half.

If Manchester United had given their all in the first half and used their home advantage to defeat their opponents, the situation would have been very different with just one goal.

On the contrary, Ferguson is in a difficult situation now.

If we fight to the death with the opponent, it will be very exhausting. What will happen to the double red at the weekend?
But soon, Ferguson was attracted by another problem.

"Is he really only 24? And he hasn't got his coaching license yet?"

Queiroz understood Ferguson's surprise and nodded with a wry smile.

This is also everyone's doubts.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Yang Cheng's coaching style is very much like a famous coach, and everything is clear and organized.

Many people outside speculate that Brian Kidd is behind Yang Cheng and is in control of the overall situation.

This rich second generation just wants to show off.

But Ferguson knew Brian Kidd too well.

He doesn't have such strength!

All we can say is that Yang Cheng did everything.

This is terrible!

It is unbelievable that a 24-year-old college graduate who has never played football or taken coaching courses has suddenly become such an outstanding head coach!
The most outrageous thing is that Yang Cheng can do the on-the-spot command, which is the most difficult to fake, so skillfully that he even looks better than those famous coaches who have been coaching on the front line for decades.

You know, it's really difficult to command on the spot.

Many of those so-called talented coaches have advanced tactical concepts but poor on-the-spot command.

Even for a world-famous coach like Wenger, on-the-spot command is not his strong point.

But Yang Cheng seemed to be born with the ability to do it.

Looking at the field again, Yang Cheng's players have suppressed Manchester United and organized and planned one attack after another.

This made Ferguson angry and helpless.

……

In the 67th minute, when Ferguson replaced Ronaldo with Alan Smith, it was basically certain that he had chosen to play it safe in this game.

He must save his strength for the Manchester derby at the weekend.

After all, there is still the second leg of the League Cup.

In turn, Yang Cheng made a positional substitution, replacing Lambert with the more offensive Kitson.

This is a signal to step up the attack.

One minute into the game, Kitson almost scored against Manchester United.

It was a cross from Lennon on the right, and Kitson headed the ball, just a little too high.

But the Chinese in Bayswater got better and better as the game went on.

Manchester United gradually retreated to the defensive.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, the Chinese from Bayswater were actually suppressing Manchester United at Old Trafford.

This made everyone's glasses shattered.

“We saw the live camera switch to the sidelines.”

"Ferguson's face was very ugly. This game was really a great humiliation for him!"

"The last time Manchester United was humiliated at Old Trafford was in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 last season, when Porto drew 1-1 with Manchester United away and advanced with a total score of 3-2."

"Mourinho, the head coach of that Porto team, is now leading Chelsea to the top of the Premier League."

“And the young Bayswater Chinese are also a very competitive team in the Championship this season.”

"Perhaps we will have the opportunity to see him at Old Trafford again in the Premier League next season."

In the 75th minute, Ferguson replaced Silvestre with Gerard Pique.

The moment Yang Cheng saw Gerard Pique come on the field, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Do we want to snatch this future world-class central defender?
It’s not that Yang Cheng is unrealistic, but because in the current Premier League, no one would use a central defender like Gerard Pique.

Including Ferguson.

Therefore, he is destined not to stay in Manchester United for long.

But whenever I think about how I worked so hard to train him, and then he just turned around and ran off to Barcelona, ​​I feel as depressed as if I had eaten a fly.

Moreover, in his mind, there is a stronger central defender than Gerard Pique waiting for him.
