I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 81 He knows magic, right? Mourinho: I was tricked! [First order]

"Good afternoon, fellow fans."

“This is Sky TV.”

"We are now broadcasting live for you the opening match of the 05/06 Premier League season."

"Bayswater Chinese, a highly anticipated newly promoted team in the Championship last season, will host Chelsea, the champion of the Premier League last season, at home."

"Now we see that the players of both teams, led by referee Clattenburg, have entered the stadium one after another."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams."

"Both teams used the 433 tactics today."

"The starting lineup for Bayswater Chinese is..."

Goalkeeper: Neuer;

Defense: Leighton Baines, Jose Fonte, Skrtel and Chimbonda;

Midfield: Yaya Toure in the back, Modric and Las Diarra in the middle;

Forwards: Ribery, Lambert and Aaron Lennon.

"Several players that Bayswater Chinese brought in this summer all appeared in the starting lineup today."

“This also makes people look forward to it. I don’t know how this team will perform in the new season.”

"There were no big surprises in Chelsea's starting line-up."

Goalkeeper: Cech;
Defense: Del Horno, Gallas, Terry and Ferreira;
Midfield: Makelele pulls back, Lampard and Essien are in the middle;

Forwards: Robben, Drogba and Duff.

“It is worth mentioning that the two teams have played one game each in the past two seasons, in the FA Cup and in the League Cup final last season.

"Bayswater Chinese have defeated the powerful Chelsea in the past two games."

"Especially in last season's League Cup final, Bayswater Chinese won the championship unexpectedly, which made the Blues lose face."

“This also makes today’s game very interesting.”

"Before the game, many media outlets broke the news that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich had offered a huge reward for this game, hoping that the team could get off to a good start in the new season."

"We noticed that Abramovich was also there in the stands supervising the match."

"Sitting next to him was the CEO of Bayswater Chinese and former FA CEO Adam Crozier."

"In addition, the chairman and CEO of the English Football Association, as well as senior executives of the Premier League, all came to watch the game."

"The captains of the two teams, Terry and Modric, guess the sides."

“The Bayswater Chinese did not choose the ball, but chose the side that was advantageous to them in the second half to avoid the glare of the sun.”

"It's 12:44 noon now, the game will start soon!"

……

Following the whistle of referee Clattenburg, the Chinese team of Bayswater took the lead in launching an attack in the packed stadium.

As soon as Chelsea kicked the ball out, the home team rushed straight towards the Blues' midfield and backcourt.

This forced Blues defender Terry to kick the ball forward.

Skrtel took the lead and took a favorable position, heading the ball down.

The ball changes hands.

After the Chinese from Bayswater got the ball, they immediately launched an attack.

Yaya Toure took two steps forward with the ball and passed it to Modric.

The latter avoided the defender and passed the ball to the right.

Aaron Lennon wanted to use his speed to force his way through Del Horno's defense.

The newly arrived Spanish left-back had no choice but to commit a foul, giving the home team a free kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.

The home team chose to take a quick free kick. After the ball was kicked out, Yaya Toure suddenly came in from behind and volleyed the ball from the outside right side of the penalty area.

The football flew straight to the right side of the goal.

This free kick and this long shot are exactly the same as the long shot in last season's League Cup final.

But this time Cech flew to save the ball.

Already in the penalty area, Lambert and Ribery rushed forward and wanted to take a follow-up shot.

But Gallas got the ball out first.

At this time, only 1 minute had passed in the game.

“After the opening, the game moved at a very fast pace.”

"We saw the Chinese in Bayswater take the initiative and attack very resolutely."

The fast-paced offensive battle between the two sides made the fans at the scene excited.

The competition was very intense and the pace was fast, it was really an explosion of male hormones!

What Yang Cheng saw on the sidelines was quite different from what the fans saw.

He is more concerned about interception in the midfield.

Chelsea is not a team known for its midfield organization and creativity.

They are better at launching attacks from the flanks.

From this point of view, they are very much in line with English traditions.

Unfortunately, the two wingers of the Bayswater Chinese are also very strong, with speed, technology and personal ability.

The midfielder has the ability to control the ball, organize and pass the ball.

So Yang Cheng chose to play fast after the opening.

Once the tempo quickened, high-pressure defense in the frontcourt effectively cut off Chelsea's passing routes.

In the 3rd minute, Las Diarra intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed it to Modric in time, and then to Ribery.

After passing the ball twice, Ribery stopped the ball inside on the left side of the penalty area, barely avoiding Ferreira, dribbled inside, and suddenly shot with his right foot, straight into the far corner.

But this sudden long shot just brushed the right post and flew out.

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience at first, followed by warm applause.

From stopping the ball to cutting inside to kicking the ball, Ribery's footwork and personal ability are evident.

But the disadvantages of high-pressure pressing are also obvious.

In the 6th minute, Chelsea quickly counterattacked after intercepting the ball in the midfield.

Drogba competed for the ball on the right side of the frontcourt and headed the ball to the right.

Duff received the ball in the ribs and then passed it to the right.

Ferreira made a high-speed run and passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the small penalty area.

Robben was like a sharp arrow, darting in quickly.

Chimbonda stayed close to him, never leaving his side.

Due to the interference of Chimbonda, the Dutch were unable to catch up with Ferreira's pass and watched the ball go out of the baseline.

After missing an attacking opportunity, Robben walked back and complained to Clattenburg that Chimbonda had committed a foul when he chased him.

But Clattenburg smiled and waved it off.

Just two minutes later, the Chinese in Bayswater launched another quick attack.

After several passes, Lambert received the ball with his back to the goal at the front of the penalty area, blocked Terry with his body, and passed the ball back.

Yaya Toure, who came from behind, once again appeared at the front of the penalty area, and shot the ball in response to Lambert's return pass.

Cech made another side dive.

This time, the Czech goalkeeper held the ball firmly in his arms.

……

"That kid is very active!"

Mourinho had a gloomy face and was not satisfied with the start of the game.

After 8 minutes, Chelsea didn't even have a shot on goal.

But on the opposite side, Yaya Toure had two shots.

And both shots were long shots from the back row.

"What the hell is he doing? Is that guy a defensive midfielder?" Faria was also very puzzled.

Judging from his physique, Yaya Toure is obviously here to replace Huddlestone.

Both of them are so tall and strong.

But on the court, the technical characteristics are completely different.

Yang Cheng gave Yaya Toure more freedom to move forward.

Isn't this very dangerous?
A holding midfielder who is supposed to be protecting the defense at all times is making forward runs all day long. What if the opponent steals the ball and they counterattack?
"It's simple. Yaya Toure will counterattack on the spot. When Las Diarra and Modric make a forward run, at least one of them will choose to stay back."

Mourinho has already seen the clues.

"He never gave Huddlestone such tactical authority before." Faria was puzzled.

Mourinho frowned.

He felt that the only reasonable explanation was that in Yang Cheng's heart, Yaya Toure was stronger and more aggressive than Huddlestone.

Mourinho is still unsure for the time being.

While he was observing and considering, the Chinese players from Bayswater on the field created two very threatening opportunities in just five minutes.

First, Ribery got rid of Ferreira on the left and his long shot was blocked by Gallas.

The French center back beat Carvalho in the competition with his outstanding performance.

Then, the Chinese from Bayswater made another steal in the frontcourt, Lambert passed the ball to the right, Aaron Lennon used his speed to forcefully shake off Del Horno and passed the ball in front of the goal.

But Lambert in the middle did not catch up in time, and Ribery on the left was a little slower.

The French winger's instantaneous explosive power is indeed outstanding, but he really has no advantage in this kind of longer-distance sprint.

Mourinho walked to the sidelines, called out Robben, and made gestures repeatedly.

Chelsea made adjustments.

……

Robben suddenly appeared on the right, received the ball, and passed it horizontally to Drogba.

The latter blocked Skrtel with his body, stopped the ball, turned around and shot.

Taller.

But just two minutes later, Robben broke through on the right again and made a 2-meter long shot with his left foot.

Neuer saved the ball steadily.

In the 19th minute, Robben broke through on the right again, shook off Leighton Baines, and broke into the right side of the penalty area with a low shot.

The angle was completely blocked by Neuer and Robben's shot hit the side net.

In the 21st minute, Robben, still on the right, made a sudden stop and cut inside, shook off Leighton Baines, and then made a left-footed curve ball in front of the penalty area and hit the far corner of the goal.

But slightly higher.

This made Yang Cheng on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Robben has not yet mastered the skill of cutting in from the right.

Otherwise, this ball would be really dangerous.

Just two minutes later, Del Horno also made a forward pass to the frontcourt and found Drogba in the penalty area with a diagonal pass.

But the Ivorian was double-teamed by Skrtel and Jose Fonte and failed to get the ball right.

The two teams fought back and forth in a wonderful offensive battle.

And the pace of the game is very fast.

The fast break was like a storm, and it was so exciting to watch that both the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were dazzled.

Even time flies by.

“Both teams played very aggressively.”

"The first 15 minutes belonged to the Bayswater Chinese."

"But from 15 to 24 minutes, those 10 minutes belonged to Chelsea."

"Especially Robben."

"The Dutch seem to be very motivated and want to give their best performance in this game."

"Perhaps, he saw Franck Ribery's outstanding performance on the opposite side and also had the desire to win."

"On the football field, stars stimulate each other in this way."

……

Yang Cheng has been standing on the sidelines, observing silently.

He would give instructions and make adjustments from time to time.

For example, just now, as soon as he saw Robben switch to the right, he immediately asked Modric on the left to withdraw a little.

Modric and Leighton Baines still couldn't stop Robben.

The biggest difference between the Dutchman and Duff is that Robben has excellent footwork and a strong sense of rhythm.

Especially the sudden stop and change of direction are hard to guard against.

He is also quite steady when dribbling the ball in small steps.

Mourinho moved him to this side because he knew that Modric's defense was not as good as Las Diarra's.

The biggest difference between Duff and Robben is that when Robben is on the left, he can single-handedly challenge the Bayswater Chinese on the right.

When he gets to the right, he can single-handedly challenge the opponent on the left.

And what about Duff?

Del Horno is needed to provide support.

Yang Cheng knew Del Horno too well.

The Spanish left-back, who rejected Real Madrid and chose Chelsea this summer, has performed very well since landing in the Premier League, and he performed well in the Community Shield against Arsenal.

But mainly offensive ability.

His defense is not reassuring, and he is unable to adapt to the fast-paced offense and defense of the Premier League.

This is also why, in Yang Cheng’s previous life, he only stayed at Chelsea for one season before returning to Spain.

Ferreira's offense and defense were balanced, but neither was outstanding, while Del Horno was strong in offense but weak in defense.

The reason why Yang Cheng was slow to adjust Las Diarra to block Robben's side was that he wanted to seize an opportunity to attack Del Horno's side.

However, the risks are not small.

He has always been worried about how long Leighton Baines and Modric can hold out.

In the 23rd minute, when he saw that Robben's several attacks failed to pose a threat and Del Horno began to move forward, Yang Cheng knew that the opportunity had come!
"I hope that kid Las Diarra won't let me down!"

Yang Cheng muttered to himself.

……

Las Diarra never thought of himself as someone who liked to cause trouble.

But for a long time, trouble always found him.

He likes to tell the truth, especially when he makes a promise, he must fulfill it.

This is what his parents taught him since he was a child.

But when he left home and entered the world of professional football, he discovered that not everyone was like that.

On the contrary, they are always cheating.

They will tell you: Our team needs you very much.

In fact, when it comes to the game, you can't even make the roster.

You can only sit in the stands and watch your teammates play.

They will also tell you: Wait a little longer, I will arrange more game time for you soon.

You believe it, and then wait...

Suddenly one day, Las Diarra heard a sentence from his teammates around him.

The coach's words are deceiving!
All their promises are just empty promises, they just hope you will stay and be their backup!
After coming to London and joining Bayswater Chinese, Las Diarra had many doubts and worries.

Yang Cheng had made a promise to him, but he was still worried.

So, last season, after every game, he would go to Yang Cheng to ask for money.

Through one game after another and by receiving money time and time again, Las Diarra unknowingly built up trust in Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater.

But even so, he still told the truth.

He told Yang Cheng, "I joined the Premier League because I hope all the fans will know me."

"If one day in the future a bigger club wants to sign me, I will make my choice."

Yang Cheng's reaction was different from that of all other head coaches.

He did not ask Las Diarra to be loyal or persistent. On the contrary, he agreed with Las Diarra's professional outlook and even encouraged him.

"I think that's great, then you need to perform better, even the best."

On the eve of the match against Chelsea, after the team's tactical meeting, Yang Cheng found Las Diarra.

The two chatted a lot, but there was one sentence that left a particularly deep impression on Las Diarra.

"Don't you always want all the fans to know you?"

"The match against Chelsea will be broadcast live around the world. This is your best chance!"

"Also, the bet from last season is still valid, don't forget!"

After the contract renewal and salary increase, Las Diarra no longer cares much about the 100 pounds.

But he still gritted his teeth in his heart: He will fight to the death!

To let the whole world know me!
And for that 100 pounds!

……

The game went to the 24th minute.

When Lampard got the ball in midfield and faced Las Diarra, there was determination in the French midfielder's eyes.

Think about people!
Las Diarra could read Lampard's thoughts in his eyes.

The England midfielder lowered his left shoulder slightly, and it looked like he was going to move to the outside, but in fact he pushed the ball to the inside with the outside of his right foot.

Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!

Las Diarra was not fooled by him at the first try because he was short and agile, and he had enough confidence that he could catch up even if he was one beat behind.

And when Lampard pushed the ball inside, Las Diarra stepped forward decisively.

The French midfielder was very flexible. He turned sideways and before Lampard turned around, he pushed forward with his right shoulder, right in front of Lampard's chest, making it impossible for the Chelsea midfielder to turn around.

He couldn't turn around and the ball went out of control.

Las Diarra was absolutely sure and confident about his move to grab the ball.

Sure enough, his right shoulder collided with Lampard's chest.

No matter who wins or loses.

But Lampard couldn't turn around.

Las Diarra took a step forward and snatched the ball away.

This wonderful steal made the whole stadium cheer.

“A very clean steal.”

"From Ras Diyala."

After the steal, Las Diarra continued to dribble the ball forward.

Lampard, who lost the ball, turned around and chased back immediately.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, chased to the right side of the center circle.

Makelele was standing at the bottom of the center circle in his own half. When he saw Las Diarra intercept the ball, he immediately ran diagonally to the right side of the center circle.

Del Horno stood on the right side of the center line and also moved towards the ribs.

This kind of situation where the ball is suddenly intercepted in the frontcourt is still very easy to be counterattacked.

Chelsea players were also very cautious.

Las Diarra was dribbling the ball while observing the situation around him, which led to him being caught up by Lampard in front of the center line.

Behind him it was Chimbonda moving forward but Duff was following behind.

In front is Makelele, and in front right is Del Horno.

It looked like there were no passing lanes.

Pass to Yaya Toure?

He was running in the open space with no defenders around him.

But Essien was running towards him.

Las Diarra's mind was quickly assessing the situation.

He knew that he couldn't go any further.

Once he is surrounded, he will be in great danger.

Lost the ball, that's 200 bloody pounds.

Thinking of this, Las Diarra suddenly stopped when Lampard caught up with him, and walked sideways with his left foot.

This sudden change also surprised Chelsea players.

As soon as he took a step sideways, Las Diarra made a decisive pass.

The ball was passed right between Makelele and Del Horno and found Aaron Lennon on the right flank.

This season, Aaron Lennon no longer stubbornly guards the sidelines, but actively moves towards the flanks.

He received the pass from Las Diarra just behind Makelele.

This shocked the Chelsea defenders.

Makelele turned around and chased back immediately, and Del Horno also quickly pounced on Aaron Lennon.

Gallas behind him couldn't help but press forward.

Everyone knows that with Aaron Lennon's speed, once he starts, there is no way to stop him except by fouling. Mourinho warned before the game not to give the opponent a free kick opportunity near the 30-meter area.

When Aaron Lennon stopped the ball, he deliberately took a step forward to attract Del Horno closer to the inside.

When the Spaniards approached, he made a cross pass and passed the ball behind Del Horno.

The Spanish defender turned his head in panic, just in time to see a red figure moving forward quickly.

Chimbonda was sprinting at top speed along the right side, catching up with Aaron Lennon's pass from behind Del Horno, kicking the ball forward with force, and then chasing after him with big strides.

In front of him was a whole uninhabited area!

In a flash, Chimbonda had dribbled the ball to the right corner of Chelsea's penalty area.

Even Gallas was left behind by him.

Lambert ran across the penalty area to catch the ball.

This immediately made Terry come over as well.

But Chimbonda did not pass the ball. Instead, he poked the ball towards the bottom line, then accelerated and chased after it, making a low cross pass.

Cech was shocked and moved quickly to the left side of the goal.

But at this moment, Ribery suddenly appeared on the left side of the small penalty area like a ghost, got ahead of Ferreira, and faced Chimbonda's cross pass, pushing the ball into the far corner with the inside of his right foot.

The unfortunate Cech had just moved to the center of the goal and his center of gravity had not yet adjusted, so he was unable to react at all to Ribery's shot.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 25th minute, the Chinese from Bayswater took the lead in breaking Chelsea's goal!"

"A goal from Franck Ribery!!"

The entire Loftus Road Stadium erupted with unprecedented passion in an instant.

After Ribery completed the shot, he almost slipped and fell to the ground, but he immediately stood up and quickly rushed out of the court.

All the Bayswater Chinese players also chased out.

"My God, this quick counterattack by the Bayswater Chinese was really sharp."

"Especially the skillful cooperation between the players, which left Chelsea's defense no time to respond."

"It's too fast!"

"Las Diarra's tackling was very good and we were particularly impressed by Chimbonda's quick run down the right wing."

“And the right-back did a good job defending today.”

"He joined from Bastia, a relegated French Ligue 50 club, for £ this summer."

When the players were huddled together on the sidelines, Yang Cheng in front of the home team's coaching booth was already dancing with excitement. He and the surrounding coaching staff also huddled together to celebrate the team's goal.

At the critical moment, these players did not disappoint him!
Even before the training camp, Piszczek was at the top of Yang Cheng's list of choices for right-back.

But during the summer training camp, the young Piszczek's performance was not as good as the 26-year-old Zimbonda.

The latter is more mature, stronger and more stable.

Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Yang Cheng to convince himself and everyone else to let Piszczek start.

On the contrary, Chimbonda's performance is obvious to all.

"Just now, I kept telling Las Diarra not to stick to the ball." Brian Kidd laughed.

Everyone smiled.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "This kid has made great progress."

Who said no?
He has had so much competition experience in this year at Bayswater Chinese, it would be strange if he didn't make some progress.

Yang Cheng broke away from the assistants around him and ran to the sidelines to shout while the players were walking into the stadium.

"Keep attacking!"

“Don’t slack off!”

“Try to score another goal!”

Yang Cheng's undisguised shouting made Mourinho's face in front of the visiting team's coaching bench become very ugly.

He knew very well that he was being plotted against.

Even as an opponent, Mourinho had to admit that the attacking speed of the Chinese in Bayswater was too fast, from snatching the ball to successfully counterattacking.

The players also have a tacit understanding of each other's passing and movement.

Chelsea's impenetrable defense was broken at the moment when they switched from offense to defense.

When the Portuguese madman thought of this, he gritted his teeth secretly, walked to the sidelines, and signaled his team to press forward.

Isn't it just a counterattack?

Who is afraid of whom?
……

Although the game pace was still very fast in the first 25 minutes, both sides still attached great importance to defense and were restrained in attack.

Then, after losing the ball, the game became completely open.

The rhythm is directly pulled to full gear.

First, Ribery broke through Ferreira on the left and created a corner kick opportunity at the bottom line.

This corner kick caused a melee in Chelsea's penalty area. At the critical moment, Aaron Lennon got a chance to score an empty goal, but he was not prepared enough and did not kick the ball to the right spot.

Chelsea immediately responded.

The two full-backs, in particular, also began to move forward actively, launching attacks continuously and taking turns to pass the ball into the penalty area and over Drogba's head.

Yang Cheng knew very well that no one could stop Drogba alone, whether it was Skrtel, Jose Fonte, or Koscielny.

So he asked Skrtel and Jose Fonte to work together wholeheartedly.

But even so, Chelsea seized an opportunity in the 38th minute and launched the most threatening attack in the first half.

Del Horno made a diagonal pass from the left and Drogba headed the ball into the goal.

Neuer lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand at the critical moment.

But in the subsequent corner kick, Robben made a cross, and Drogba headed the ball from close range, which hit the left post and slipped out of the bottom line.

The two consecutive shots made the Chinese people in Bayswater break out in a cold sweat.

The Chinese in Bayswater quickly fought back.

In a quick counterattack, Aaron Lennon received a wonderful pass from Lambert, broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot low from 10 meters away from the goal.

The shot was saved by Cech.

This was also the last shot of the entire first half.

But what Yang Cheng really didn't expect was that during the half-time break, Mourinho seemed to be going crazy.

The crazy Portuguese actually replaced two players at once during the half-time break.

Joe Cole replaced Essien and Wright-Phillips replaced Duff.

After this substitution, Chelsea is no longer a 433, but more like a 4231.

Drogba was at the front, with Robben, Joe Cole and Wright-Phillips in the middle, and Lampard and Makelele as the double defensive midfielders.

This was completely beyond Yang Cheng's expectations.

This also put the Chinese team in Bayswater into a passive position at the start of the second half.

……

Mourinho kept walking to the sidelines, calling out to the players and directing the game.

The second half had only started for 10 minutes, but everyone had already felt the atmosphere of the game.

It's so intense!

No one expected that the Chinese players of Bayswater, who were playing in the Premier League for the first time in the club's history, would perform so bravely in the Premier League, especially in the opening game of the new season.

Throughout the first half, they performed better than Chelsea and created more chances than the Blues.

This made Mourinho very uneasy.

He lost to a counterattack in last season's League Cup final.

But today, Yang Cheng, contrary to his usual behavior, took the initiative and made Chelsea very embarrassed.

Although he only played two games, Yang Cheng made him feel even more nervous than when facing Ferguson and Wenger.

Sometimes, he even felt that Chelsea seemed to have no secrets in front of Yang Cheng.

Even the slightest advantages and shortcomings were clearly visible to Yang Cheng.

This feeling is very bad.

In the 56th minute, Wright Phillips broke through on the right and was interfered by Leighton Baines. He barely made a cross, but the landing point of the ball was not ideal.

Joe Cole came in from behind and shot, but it went high.

Mourinho shook his head as he watched.

Damn, Drogba was limited tonight.

Skrtel was mainly responsible for marking Drogba tonight, which curbed the Ivorian's performance.

José Fonte assisted.

Drogba is like a nightmare for all Premier League defenders.

Not only because of his terrifying physical strength, but also because of his running ability.

His amazing physical fitness allows him to wear down any defender who defends him.

Just like Scottel.

How much exhaustion does it take for the burly central defender to be dragged along by Drogba?

If you don't follow, you won't be able to do it.

Giving Drogba the ball to face the attack directly is seeking death.

This is the most terrifying thing about Drogba.

If Mourinho hadn't conceded that goal in the first half, he would have been able to wait patiently.

But now, he can't wait any longer.

Because he was not sure whether Drogba could be effective again tonight.

Thinking of this, Mourinho turned around and walked towards the bench.

……

"It's time to change people."

Following Brian Kidd's reminder, Yang Cheng looked towards the visiting team's coaching booth.

Mourinho was pulling Gudjohnson aside to give him instructions.

The Icelandic killer is obviously preparing to take the field.

"If we play with two strikers, who should we replace?" Brian Kidd asked speculatively.

Yang Cheng scanned the Chelsea players currently on the field in his mind.

Joe Cole and Wright-Phillips just came on, impossible.

Makelele and Lampard are important, but also impossible.

Full-back?
The two wingers of Bayswater Chinese can block Chelsea's flanks. If Mourinho replaces a full-back, he will be seeking death.

As for replacing Drogba, that is not realistic.

In this case, there is actually only one answer.

"Robben!" Yang Cheng said with certainty.

"Robben?" Brian Kidd was surprised.

This is Chelsea's most threatening winger.

"After the second half, Robben's threat has been reduced, and he was closely monitored by Chimbonda in this game."

Brian Kidd also reacted immediately.

"Mourinho was anxious after using up all three substitutions in 60 minutes."

But Yang Cheng still didn't dare to be careless.

While Chelsea was making substitutions, he quickly walked to the sidelines and called over Modric.

"Tell Yaya Toure that when defending, he needs to protect the back line and drop deeper when necessary."

"Also, tell Las Diarra to keep an eye on Joe Cole."

"After Robben goes down, Chimbonda needs to move back a little and get closer to Skrtel."

"Lambert in front comes back, Ribery and Aaron Lennon go up."

Yang Cheng's intention was very clear. He did not plan to increase the number of defenders and would no longer press forward in the midfield like he did in the first half.

Especially the midfielders, they need to put more energy into protecting the defense.

Chelsea completed the substitution when Modric quickly ran back into the field.

Gudjohnson replaces Robben!

This made Brian Kidd look at Yang Cheng with admiration in his eyes.

It has to be said that Yang Cheng is really ruthless when it comes to guessing his opponent's psychology and commanding on the spot.

Chimbonda is 1 meters tall and has good physical fitness. It is said that when he played football in France, he also played as a central defender.

Is he really just 25?
……

The two head coaches were fighting off the court.

The game on the court came to a stalemate, as if it had entered a round of offense and defense.

Gudjohnson, who came on first, seized the opportunity and took a long shot from 20 meters away.

What followed was a quick counterattack by the Chinese in Bayswater. When Lambert and Makelele were competing for the ball in the 30-meter area in the frontcourt, the French midfielder committed a foul, giving the home team a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

Having learned from last season's League Cup final, Chelsea has strengthened its free kick defense.

This time, it still failed to pose a threat.

In the 67th minute, Joe Cole dribbled through the ribs again and took a long shot, which was easily caught by Neuer.

Just two minutes later, Ribery shot high from almost the same position.

The most dangerous attack in the entire second half occurred in the 71st minute.

Lampard passed the ball and Drogba headed the ball.

When Chimbonda cleared the ball, he did not kick the ball right away but wanted to pass it to his teammate. However, he was intercepted by Gudjohnson, who then kicked the ball again.

Neuer flew to get the ball under him and completed another wonderful save.

The entire Loftus Road stadium gave Neuer warm applause and cheers.

As the German goalkeeper got up from the ground, he kept waving his hands, signaling his teammates to press forward.

It was impossible for Chelsea players to retreat and they continued to stay outside the penalty area.

When Neuer threw the ball to Leighton Baines, the England left-back was pressed by Wright-Phillips as soon as he got the ball and was forced to pass it back to center back Jose Fonte.

Drogba immediately pressed forward again, forcing the Portuguese to pass the ball back to Neuer.

"Chelsea are pressing the Chinese at Bayswater very aggressively now."

"It's already 72 minutes."

"The Blues have already used up their three substitutions. We should really seize the time and try to score a goal first to equalize the score."

Neuer threw the ball to Chimbonda again.

But the latter was also pressed by Joe Cole.

After much difficulty, he passed the ball to Aaron Lennon, but it was passed back.

Del Horno even chased all the way forward, trying to team up with Joe Cole to block Chimbonda on the right and cut off his passing route.

Finally, Neuer rushed out of the small penalty area and met Chimbonda.

Joe Cole saw the opportunity, passed Chimbonda to Del Horno, and quickly rushed into the penalty area, heading straight for Neuer.

As soon as the German goalkeeper stopped the ball, he took a step forward to the left, barely avoided Joe Cole, and chased after him and passed the ball straight.

Yaya Tourera got to the open space and received the ball.

This thrilling scene made the entire atmosphere gasp.

"Chelsea's pressing was very intense."

"It's also frightening that the Chinese goalkeeper at Bayswater dares to use his footwork in the penalty area."

Yaya Toure stopped the ball, turned around, took a look at the situation around him, and suddenly kicked the ball forward.

He chose to bring it himself!

Lampard rushed towards the Ivorian midfielder as soon as possible and wanted to get close to grab the ball.

Yaya Toure is a big and strong man with long arms and legs. He just stretched out his hand to block Lampard, leaned on him with his body, and continued to dribble the ball skillfully with his feet.

Stop, pause, and move forward.

Lampard was pinned behind by Yaya Toure and didn't even have a chance to get around to grab the ball.

It felt like wrestling with a black bear.

After Yaya Toure broke through Lampard's defense, he stopped suddenly when Makelele came forward to intercept him, pretending to change direction, but actually kicked the ball out quickly with his right foot.

A straight pass landed at Lambert's feet.

Lambert retreated with John Terry behind him and was unable to turn around, but immediately stopped the ball to Modric.

Modric noticed that Makelele was returning to defense nearby, so he passed the ball directly to the front left without stopping.

Ribery ran back with his back to the goal to receive the ball.

Ferreira followed Ribery closely to prevent the French winger from turning around.

But Ribery stuck out his tongue, deliberately stopped the ball one step in front of himself, and then chased after him.

Ferreira had no doubts and of course he pressed on again.

After Ribery caught up with the ball, he suddenly stopped, pulled the ball towards the heel of his left foot with the inside of his right foot, and then turned to the left.

As soon as his right foot was stable, the outside of his left foot was facing the ball, and he pushed it hard towards the baseline behind Ferreira.

Ferreira was very focused and completely on Ribery.

But he never expected that the French winger would suddenly use this trick on him.

When Ribery suddenly turned around, he was stunned for a moment.

Then came a big surprise.

Where's the ball?

When Ribery suddenly started and broke through with the advantage of instantaneous explosive power, Ferreira turned around and saw the football behind him.

At this time, it is too late to turn around and chase again.
Fortunately, behind Ferreira, Gallas quickly caught up.

But Ribery's speed had increased. After catching up with the ball, he slid towards the baseline.

Gallas chased inside the right side of the penalty area, but was still a little slow and unable to stop Ribery from passing the ball.

At this moment, there was no one else in Chelsea's huge penalty area except Cech in front of the goal line.

Ribery's cross fell near the right corner of the small penalty area.

Cech is turning quickly.

But a fiery red figure came like lightning, rushed in, met Ribery's cross, and shot with his right foot.

The football flew into Chelsea's goal at lightning speed.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Alan Lennon!!"

“Bayswater Chinese win again!!”

"2 to 0!"

"Lennon scores again for Bayswater Chinese!"

The excited young English player almost rushed out of the field frantically and ran all the way to the sidelines.

The entire stadium erupted in an instant.

More than 1 fans cheered and shouted at the top of their lungs.

“The Bayswater Chinese performed really well!”

"It's hard to believe this is their first Premier League game in the club's history!"

"We are facing the defending champion Chelsea!"

"The young players of Bayswater Chinese showed strong fighting spirit and put in an outstanding performance in their home stadium."

"They were in great form throughout the game and even created better chances than Chelsea."

"Mourinho's team suffered a head-on blow in the first round of the new season, a bad start!"

Yang Cheng on the sidelines could no longer contain his excitement. He jumped up and cheered.

At the same time, he turned around and waved his hands at the fans in the stands.

He hopes the cheers from the fans at the scene will be louder!
His players deserve more cheers and applause!
The Bayswater Chinese players were also very excited and celebrated wildly on the sidelines.

The big screen at the scene first showed a close-up of Chelsea owner Abramovich in the stands.

He was still holding back his anger.

Mourinho on the sidelines kept roaring, obviously very dissatisfied with the result.

But Yang Cheng was not surprised.

The key to the second goal was Yaya Toure's sudden forward run.

That led to the Chinese in Bayswater gaining an advantage in the frontcourt.

Neither Lampard nor Makelele could stop Yaya Toure.

This is the tactical value of the Ivorians!
Of course, Ribery's breakthrough over Ferreira was truly beautiful!
Yang Cheng didn't even see clearly how it happened, he could only see the slow-motion replay on the big screen.

It is truly breathtaking!
"How's it going, Brian?"

Yang Cheng smiled and turned to look at Brian Kidd.

"Now you should believe that we are here to cause trouble this season, right?"

Brian Kidd nodded heavily, and when he looked at Yang Cheng, he couldn't help but feel doubt in his eyes.

He knows magic, right?
