I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 84: One goal made him famous! Ribery exploded! [Subscribe]

On the afternoon of September 9th, at the Hawthorn Stadium in West Romech.

In the 5th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged West Bromwich Albion away.

The return time of several national team players was delayed, which disrupted Yang Cheng's original plan and deployment.

Especially considering that the schedule has been compressed very tightly since the league restarted.

This forced Yang Cheng to change his plan and make adjustments.

But in the 26th minute, Knickers midfielder Jonathan Greening scored a sudden goal to break the deadlock.

The Bayswater Chinese then launched a frantic counterattack, but the Knickerbockers defended very well.

It was not until the second minute of stoppage time in the first half that Gokhan Inler made a late run and shot from near the penalty spot to equalize the score for Bayswater Chinese.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made consecutive substitutions but was still unable to break through West Bromwich's goal.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 1-1.

Yang Cheng was also prepared and did not blame the players for this.

Dzeko, Roger Johnson and others all started, while young players such as Gareth Bale and Walcott came on as substitutes in the second half.

……

On the evening of September 9th, at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt, Germany.

In the first leg of the third knockout round of the UEFA Cup, Bayswater Chinese challenged Mainz away.

As the capacity of their home stadium, Bruchweg, is too small, with only 20300 seats, Mainz specially arranged their home game of the UEFA Cup to the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt, which has a larger capacity.

Both teams are participating in European competitions for the first time.

Although Mainz managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup, they had to start from the first round of qualifying.

In the first two knockout rounds, they met the Armenian cup champion Mika and the Icelandic team Keflavik, winning both games with a total score of 4-0.

Looking at Mainz's first four cup games, they basically made full use of their home advantage and established an advantage early in the first round.

Yes, in the first two knockout rounds, Mainz played at home first and then away.

This time, facing the Chinese in Bayswater, it was the same.

It's different from the unstoppable performance in the League Cup.

In the Bundesliga, Mainz is in a very bad situation. It is currently at the bottom of the points table, having lost all four games, scoring 4 goal and conceding 1 goals.

0比1客场输给科隆、0比2主场输给云达不莱梅、0比2客场输给比勒菲尔德。

And in the most recent game, we lost 1-3 to Hamburg at home.

If losing to Werder Bremen and Hamburg was excusable, then losing to newly promoted Cologne and Bielefeld, who are near the relegation zone, is really worrying.

Before the game, Mainz head coach Jurgen Klopp said confidently, "We will give the fans a full-throttle football game!"

And the facts have proved that Klopp's team performed very bravely in the game.

They were like a Mercedes with the gas pedal running low, constantly attacking the Bayswater Chinese goal.

But soon, they discovered that this team from the Premier League was completely different from Mika or Keflavik they had encountered before. Not only did they withstand Mainz's attack, but they were also able to launch a threatening counterattack.

Zidan, the Egyptian striker whom Klopp relies on the most, is a lone striker and it is difficult for him to make any progress in the defensive formation of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Las Diarra was the core of Mainz's midfield. Brazilian Antonio da Silva closely marked him and completely froze the Brazilian midfielder, making it impossible for Mainz's midfield to organize an effective attack.

In addition, Neuer returned to Germany and was very excited.

From the beginning of the game, Mainz found it difficult to create offensive threats.

However, the defense line led by Friedrich made the visiting team's counterattacks fail time and time again.

This situation remained deadlocked until the second half.

Klopp made the first substitution in the 60th minute.

At once, he replaced Luman on the right and Antonio da Silva in the midfield.

Yang Cheng also replaced Ribery, who was almost exhausted, with Ashley Young.

The Frenchman first participated in the national team's competition, and then fought continuously after returning to the team. In this game, he was closely monitored by Mainz and his performance was relatively average.

In the 74th minute, Mainz, who had been unable to break through for a long time, made their final substitution.

Center forward Benjamin Orr replaced midfielder Fabian Goebel to continue to strengthen the offense.

At this time, Mainz's lineup became 442.

Yang Cheng made a prompt decision and called the young player Walcott, who was sitting on the bench, out to warm up.

Soon, the young English player returned to Yang Cheng's side and listened to the head coach's instructions.

“See that number 28?”

Walcott nodded, "Mathias Abel."

"Very good. After you go up, let Ashley Young go to the right and you play on the left."

Walcott looked at the head coach with some surprise.

He is a right-footed player, and it is not very convenient for him to cross the ball when playing on the left.

Yang Cheng also noticed Walcott's confusion, put his hand on his shoulder, and said patiently: "Your left foot is very capable, you must have confidence in yourself."

"Abel is 1 meters tall and has played two games in a row, which consumes a lot of physical energy. His speed and flexibility are relatively poor, but this is precisely your biggest advantage."

Mainz's left wing is No. 24 Benjamin Weigert, who is quite fast.

Aaron Lennon made several quick counterattacks but was unable to gain any advantage over him.

Klopp first replaced Lumann on the right, then Antonio da Silva, and now Goebel, changing the formation to 442, clearly intending to strengthen the attack.

"I'll let the midfielder and Lambert pass the ball to you. Seize the opportunity, cut in behind and play it yourself!"

After saying that, Yang Cheng patted Walcott's shoulder vigorously to show encouragement.

The young English player was only 16 years old, but after hearing what Yang Cheng said, huge waves surged in his heart.

The whole person was excited.

……

Walcott replaces Aaron Lennon.

No one knew why Yang Cheng asked a 16-year-old young player to go up there.

Walcott did not run to the right.

During his time at Southampton's youth training camp, Walcott played as a striker and on the right side.

But he also occasionally plays on the left wing.

This time, after coming on the pitch, he ran over and said a few words to Ashley Young, who then went to the right.

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines and gestured to Modric and others in the midfield.

Turning around, he just happened to see Klopp in front of the home team's coaching booth looking at him.

Yang Cheng responded with a confident smile.

The game starts again.

The situation doesn't seem to have changed much from before.

The two players who just came on the field, Ashley Young and Walcott, were both quite active.

This is also normal.

The players who come on as substitutes are full of energy.

Mainz didn't take it too seriously and continued to strengthen their attack in the frontcourt.

After Benjamin Orr came on the pitch, he formed a double striker with Zidane, one tall and one fast.

Klopp's intention was very clear. He used center forward Benjamin Orr to engage in close combat with the central defender and free up Zidane.

Egyptian Zidane has great speed and technique.

But Yang Cheng couldn't get what he wanted.

The Chinese players at Bayswater began to shrink their defense, actively withdrawing the midfield and frontcourt, continuing to compress Zidane's space to get the ball.

On the field, it was more like the Chinese in Bayswater were being defeated under Mainz's full-force attack.

The commentator on the scene even made a joke.

"Benjamin Orr said not long ago that he was in such good shape that he could catch antelopes on his vacation in Africa."

"Now, he should show his form and speed in Africa."

"Time is running out, Klopp's team should start turbocharging!"

Not only the commentator thought so, the fans at the scene thought so, and the players on the Mainz stadium thought so too.

……

Walcott doesn't need to know German, he can feel the cheers of more than 3 fans at the scene.

But he is destined to be enemies with these more than 3 people tonight!
After coming on the court, he kept running.

Whenever his team gets the ball, he will quickly move to a position where it is convenient for him to sprint.

After playing football for so many years, he knows very well under what circumstances he can start with the most confidence and the fastest speed.

But after waiting for several times, teammates still couldn't find the right time to pass the ball.

Mainz's defense, especially the counterattack after losing the ball, was very strong.

This is very similar to the Chinese in Bayswater.

But Walcott kept running.

Football is the art of failure.

Out of 100 opportunities, it doesn’t matter if you fail 99 times, as long as you succeed once, that’s enough.

The time has reached 80 minutes.

Mainz clearly increased the intensity of its attack.

In the 83rd minute, the pass from Bayswater Chinese was intercepted in the midfield.

Captain Modric quickly counterattacked and chased Mainz's deep midfielder Pekovic.

This made Walcott feel very excited.

The 1-meter-tall Modric is at an absolute disadvantage against the 71-meter-tall Pekovic, both in terms of height and size.

But the Croatian still stuck to his opponent fiercely and entangled him.

The tall and strong Pekovic is not good at footwork. After being entangled by Modric, his footwork became messy.

In panic, the Croatian stabbed.

The ball was dropped.

Mainz quickly counterattacked.

Andreasson rushed forward and tried to kick the ball forward.

As a result, the ball hit the defender and bounced in one direction.

In the chaos, Las Diarra took the lead to grab the ball, used his body to block the Mainz player who was trying to steal the ball, and passed the ball to the right.

Piszczek quickly came forward and kicked the ball forward.

This kick looked like both a clearance and a long pass.

Lambert moved forward immediately, constantly looking up to judge where the football would land.

Walcott quickly moved and called Lambert.

The England center forward understood what he meant, took the first position, jumped high and headed the ball.

The ball was touched by Lambert and fell directly to the front left behind Mainz's defense line.

Almost at the same time, Walcott, who had already gathered his strength, was like a cheetah on the African grassland, staring at an antelope. He shot out at an extremely fast speed, leaving only a red afterimage for Mainz defender Abel.

So fast!

"Danger!"

"Bayswater Chinese strike back!"

"Walcott just came on the pitch..."

Before the commentator could finish his shout, Walcott had already quickly caught up with Lambert's pass.

All Mainz defenders were ruthlessly left behind by him.

The ball bounced back after hitting the ground.

Walcott was like a flash of lightning. After catching up, he kicked the ball forward and then caught up again. He was already in the penalty area.

At this moment, Mainz's defenders were still outside the penalty area, looking at the red figure in despair.

Facing German goalkeeper Timo Wach alone, Walcott first slowed down, calmly adjusted the ball under his feet, and did not use his right foot to hit it.

Because he saw the focus of Timo Wahrhe's defense.

So he swung his left foot and started hitting.

Faced with such a shot, Timo Wacher was powerless to do anything.

Walcott's left-foot shot hit the bottom right corner of the goal!

The entire stadium suddenly burst into exclamations of fans.

Walcott turned and ran off the field, running all the way.

"The Chinese from Bayswater were the first to break through Mainz's goal!"

"1 to 0!"

"The youngster from England, Theo Walcott!"

"This goal just now reminds us of Michael Owen!"

"No, Theo Walcott is younger than Owen."

"16 years and 6 months!"

"This is the second youngest goalscorer in the history of the UEFA Cup!"

"Theo Walcott becomes the second youngest goalscorer in UEFA Cup history, ahead of Sweden's Leif Andersson."

"Above him is Ghanaian midfielder Niyi Lamptey, who played for Anderlecht in 1991 and scored a goal against Roma at the age of 16 years, 2 months and 18 days."

"But Walcott is the youngest goalscorer in the UEFA Cup since the new century."

The moment Walcott scored the goal, Yang Cheng couldn't help but cheer and clapped loudly.

"This kid is going to be famous!"

Brian Kidd, who is also English and a short forward, seemed particularly excited.

……

The game continues.

After Walcott scored, Yang Cheng felt much more relaxed.

Mainz began to counterattack, but they had to be wary of the counterattack from the Chinese in Bayswater.

Only after the situation had stabilized a little did Yang Cheng feel like walking back to the coaching booth and chatting with his assistants.

"Brian, I've handed over both Walcott and Gareth Bale to you, you have to keep a close eye on them."

Yang Cheng joked as he took the water handed to him by the staff.

It's a joke, but it's also serious business.

"This kid does have great potential, especially his speed, which is very fast and definitely not inferior to Lennon."

Yang Cheng nodded, the two of them were about the same speed.

At the moment, Aaron Lennon is more threatening on the right than Walcott.

But Yang Cheng feels that as long as Walcott is well trained, he will achieve greater success.

Because he listened to advice.

Lennon and Walcott have one thing in common: they are short and thin.

This resulted in their weak confrontation on the court.

Even someone as talented and skilled as Messi was not physically strong enough when he first debuted and had to undergo extensive training.

When Ronaldo first debuted, his physical confrontation was poor, but he slowly developed it.

For fast players like Lennon, Walcott and Robben, once they are hit while sprinting at high speed, it is not just a matter of falling to the ground, they are very likely to get injured.

This has resulted in frequent injuries to speed players.

There is nothing anyone can do about this, except to intensify physical confrontation.

Yang Cheng mentioned to Aaron Lennon many times that he has good skills, and his changes of direction and feints are very good. He is really threatening on the right, but if he wants to go further, he needs to improve his physical confrontation, make himself more comprehensive and more adaptable.

But Aaron Lennon was very resistant to the gym and was not willing to adapt to more changes.

This is his character.

On the contrary, Walcott's skills and basic skills are considered to be very outstanding among his peers in England.

Of course, compared to his peers with outstanding skills in continental Europe, he can only be considered above average.

But he is fast, explosive and very flexible.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, Arsenal fans liked to tease Walcott's dribbling ability as falling over.

The reason behind this is that his physical confrontation is very bad.

Too many injuries further exacerbated his fear of physical confrontation.

In addition, injuries have caused a decline in speed, which has weakened his advantage.

Just imagine, given Wenger's preference for technical players, if Walcott had not shown good enough technical skills in Southampton, how could Wenger have taken a liking to him?
Do you even think he can be the next Henry?
"Walcott has a lot of problems now. In addition to being too thin, he has no problem dribbling at high speeds, but his movements when changing speed and direction are problematic. We must help him find his rhythm."

Brian Kidd looked at Yang Cheng and said.

"He is now switching from fast to slow and from slow to fast, or when he suddenly changes direction, his technical movements are not connected finely and his rhythm is disordered."

These can all be added and improved through training.

But training alone is not enough, he must be given more game time to hone his skills and practice.

Grow and improve by making mistakes.

Young people are like this, some of them understand things very quickly and can get the hang of it once they understand them.

But some people can't do that. They need to keep making mistakes, correcting them, making mistakes again, and correcting them again...

Neither Walcott nor Gareth Bale are very smart players.

By the way, although both of them are extremely fast and have great explosive power, their characteristics are completely different.

Gareth Bale is a player who plays with big swings and his height dictates that he must strengthen his upper body strength.

Just like Yang Cheng’s previous life.

Also in the high-speed breakthrough, the defensive player uses his body to approach him. Gareth Bale is the kind of player who can use his physical fitness to drag the opponent to sprint. His biggest advantage is endurance.

Therefore, he can sprint at top speed for a long distance.

Walcott is the type who will fall down if hit, after all, he is so tall.

There is nothing good or bad about these two types, and they can even complement each other.

That's why Yang Cheng was willing to spend 300 million pounds to dig these two players from Southampton.

Brian Kidd has trained many young players at Manchester United, including Giggs, who has a great sense of rhythm.

Yang Cheng believes that his assistant can help him train these two wingers.

In the next period of time, he will be very cautious in using these two players.

They are more likely to come on as substitutes in the second half, because at this time, both sides have consumed a lot of physical energy, and it is easy for their speed players to shine.

Just like tonight against Mainz.

If you perform well, your confidence will rise.

Moreover, it is not easy to get injured.

The most taboo thing in training young players is frequent injuries.

This brings us back to the improvement of physical confrontation, especially gym training is essential.

……

The Chinese team of Bayswater finally defeated Mainz 1-0 in Germany thanks to a goal from Walcott.

After the game, the whole of Britain was in an uproar!

England and Germany have always been enemies and have deep resentment towards each other.

More importantly, Walcott's goal after coming on as a substitute reminded too many people of Michael Owen back then.

The grace and demeanor of the wind-chasing boy is still missed by countless people.

Media including The Sun, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Mirror, and The Times all reported Walcott's goal extensively, praising the significance behind his goal.

The second youngest goalscorer in UEFA Cup history!
And he scored a goal in his first European game!

This is simply a godsend for England, which has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a genius.

The media hype became more and more outrageous, and they even began to call on Eriksson to recruit Walcott into the national team.

In response, Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese took a cold approach.

Yang Cheng first called Walcott over for a talk, reminding him not to be distracted by the outside world, but to focus on football itself and work hard to improve himself.

"Brian Kidd and the coaching staff will develop further strengthening training for you and Gareth, especially for the body."

"We have very high expectations of you, don't be satisfied with what you have now!"

After being poured cold water by the head coach, Walcott also promised that he would continue to work hard.

Yang Cheng was still worried, so he called his agent Jonathan Barnett again, reminding him not to talk nonsense during interviews and disrupt the club's pace of training Walcott and Gareth Bale.

In addition, Yang Cheng also hopes that the agent will come forward to appease the players' families.

"Remember what I told you before?"

"You mean...Rooney?"

"That's right. I don't know if you believed it at first, but now you should know I'm not talking nonsense." After Jonathan Barnett said he didn't dare, Yang Cheng continued: "We will do our best to train these two players. As long as the players and their families cooperate, their future achievements will not be inferior to Rooney."

As an agent, Jonathan Barnett knew very well what the accidents Yang Cheng mentioned were, besides injuries.

"Don't worry, Yang. I promise you again that I will do my best to cooperate!"

Jonathan Barnett is so eager to have a Rooney under his command.

After receiving assurances from the player and his agent, Bayswater Chinese rejected all media requests to interview Walcott, while also calling on all media to provide the player with a more relaxed growth environment.

"He's still a kid!"

As the club's CEO, Adam Crozier made the appeal in front of the media.

……

After playing the game in Frankfurt, Germany on the 15th and returning to London, we faced the 18th round of the Premier League on the 6th.

This time the opponent is Middlesbrough.

As a result, just 13 minutes into the game, Australian center forward Viduka headed the ball into the goal guarded by Neuer.

Afterwards, the Chinese in Bayswater fought back desperately.

It wasn't until the 68th minute of the second half that Ashley Young, who came on as a substitute, made a contribution.

The England native player equalized the score for Bayswater Chinese with a late shot.

Unfortunately, despite the home team's continuous attacks, they were ultimately unable to break through Middlesbrough's goal.

1-1, both sides shook hands and made peace!
After 6 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 3 draws.

However, the team gave up the top spot in the league rankings.

Mourinho's Chelsea has a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, got 15 points and ranked first.

Following them are West Ham United with 13 points, Bayswater Chinese, Charlton and Manchester United with 12 points.

……

On the evening of September 9, in the second round of the League Cup, Bayswater Chinese played against Bournemouth at home.

The last time Yang Cheng's team met Bournemouth, they were still in the third-level English League Two, which is now English League One.

Now that they meet again, Yang Cheng chose to play with an all-substitute lineup to allow the main players to have a good rest.

In the past week, the team played three games in a row. Although rotations were made, the young players in the team were still under a lot of pressure and their condition was not ideal.

The failure to beat Middlesbrough is the best proof of this.

The Chinese in Bayswater today are no longer what they used to be.

Even with an entire substitute lineup, they were still able to control the situation smoothly.

On the front line, Yang Cheng deployed a combination of Gareth Bale, Dzeko and Walcott.

The front trident took turns attacking Bournemouth's defense.

But it was not until the 76th minute of the second half that Dzeko scored a goal.

Throughout the game, many opportunities were created, but they were not seized due to various reasons.

In the end, the team defeated Bournemouth 1-0 and advanced to the third round of the League Cup.

……

September 9th afternoon, Goodison Park, Liverpool.

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Everton away.

This season, Everton has had a very bad start, with 1 win and 5 losses, and is currently ranked 19th in the Premier League.

Especially at home, they lost all three games.

This makes the outside world very worried about Everton's performance.

Moyes, playing at home, deployed a more cautious and safe 451 tactics.

Throughout the first half, Everton used solid defense to curb the repeated attacks of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Former Bayswater Chinese goalkeeper Joe Hart performed well.

But the Toffees themselves failed to get any decent attacking opportunities.

In the end, the first half ended in a 0-0 draw.

During the half-time break, Yang Cheng made decisive adjustments. When the attack in the frontcourt was at a stalemate, he encouraged Yaya Toure to make more runs from behind and to pose more threats with the ball.

Just over a minute into the second half, Yaya Toure dribbled in and Modric sent the ball into the penalty area, trying to find Lambert, but was blocked by center back Yabo.

The ball fell to the front edge of the penalty area.

Yaya Toure quickly followed up and volleyed the ball.

The football stuck to the grass and went into the right side of the goal guarded by Joe Hart at a very fast speed.

After conceding the goal, Moyes became angry.

First, in the 49th minute, center forward Marcus Bent replaced midfielder Kevin Kilbane.

Then in the 58th minute, center forward Duncan Ferguson replaced midfielder Simon Davis.

Both substitutions were for the midfielder to come in and the center forward to come in.

Obviously, Moyes also wants to adopt the tactic of "if there is not enough strength, make up for it with numbers".

But in the 67th minute, there was a quick pass and cut after an interception in the backcourt.

The midfielder made a series of passes and sent the ball to Ribery on the left.

Ribery's form has been far from ideal since he returned from the national team.

After all, it was his first time participating in a national team competition. It was normal for his condition to fluctuate once the excitement wore off.

But this time, after getting the ball, he still broke through Phil Neville and dribbled into the left side of Everton's penalty area.

Facing central defender Yabo who returned to defend in time, Ribery had a flash of inspiration and knocked the ball back with his heel.

Modric came from the back row and pushed the ball from the left side of the penalty spot, sending the ball into the left side of Joe Hart's goal again.

2 is better than 0!

Afterwards, Yang Cheng replaced Gareth Bale and Walcott respectively, allowing the two young players to continue training.

They not only took advantage of their speed and maintained the threat during counterattacks, but also saved their strength for the League Cup next week.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Everton 2-0 away.

……

After losing 0-1 to Bayswater Chinese at home in the first leg, Klopp made a harsh remark.

"We vow to make a comeback on the road!"

In the following three Bundesliga games, Mainz had one win, one draw and one loss.

先是主场1比2输给斯图加特，接着客场2比0击败了凯泽斯劳滕，最后是主场1比1战平了多特蒙德。

Compared with the previous four consecutive losses, Mainz's performance has improved significantly.

This also gives Klopp more confidence.

He began to provoke people before he even arrived in London.

This is also one of his strategies.

Through this provocation, Mainz, which was already at a disadvantage, built up confidence.

He may sound tough verbally, but his body is honest.

Unlike the 433 formation in the first leg at home, Klopp became more cautious away from home.

It still looks like a 433 formation, but in reality, in the game, forwards Zidan and Turk were more likely to roam behind center forward Or.

The three players in the midfield are still the same as in the first leg, but Da Silva and Goeber have retreated to the same position as Pekovic, which is somewhat similar to the three defensive midfielders.

Only when attacking, they will choose the opportunity to move forward.

This makes Mainz's formation look more like a 4321 Christmas tree.

In the game, formations are dead, but people are alive.

But Klopp's mentality is obviously much more cautious than in the first leg.

But no matter how cautious he is, he is still that passionate boxer.

……

Since the national team training, Ribery's condition has obviously declined.

Although he had a very beautiful heel assist against Everton, the media still did not let him go after the game.

Compared with the first four games, Ribery seemed like a different person.

Many media outlets are even worried whether Ribery's performance in the first four rounds was just a flash in the pan.
In this regard, Yang Cheng repeatedly emphasized his confidence and support for Ribery at the team's locker room meeting.

"This is a very normal ups and downs. I firmly believe that he will be able to recover soon."

Yang Cheng also reiterated that no matter what the circumstances, Ribery is the most important core player of the team.

Ribery was particularly touched by Yang Cheng's trust.

At the meeting, he personally assured that he would get back to his normal form as soon as possible and respond to outside doubts!
Yang Cheng speculated that given Klopp's character and the deficit in the first round, Mainz would launch a more ferocious attack at the start of the game.

At least we have to grab the ball first.

They are all new troops in the European war.

Being behind by one goal for a long time will put a lot of pressure on the players.

The enemy on the football field is never just the opponent, but also time.

Therefore, Yang Cheng’s opening tactic was to set up a trap and let Mainz sneak in.

The Chinese in Bayswater punch back again!

……

On the evening of March 9th, Loftus Road Stadium in London.

In the third round of the UEFA Cup knockout stage, Bayswater Chinese faced Mainz at home.

Just over 4 minutes into the game, Mainz's ball was intercepted during a forward attack.

Leighton Baines quickly launched a counterattack and passed the ball to Ribery in the frontcourt.

The French winger was on the left side, facing the double-team of two defensive players, Abel and Goebel.

Everyone felt that the Chinese in Bayswater's quick counterattack would fail.

Unexpectedly, Ribery dribbled the ball skillfully with both feet, changing speed and direction continuously, and managed to bring the ball out in a small area on the wing.

For a moment, the entire Loftus Road Stadium, with more than 1 fans, was in an uproar.

Even the on-site commentator couldn't help but exclaim.

"Brought it out!!"

"Ribery brought the ball out!"

"Bayswater Chinese Attack!"

"Ribery cuts inside with the ball..."

"Stop suddenly and dribble past center back Friedrich..."

"Kick up and hit the door!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Ribery scored a goal!!!"

"A very beautiful world-class goal!"

"A curved ball from the left side of the penalty area goes straight to the right side of the goal!"

"Franck Ribery dribbled the ball inside from the left and shot!"

"fantastic!"

"In a narrow area on the wing, he passed two defenders and then broke through Friedrich when he cut inside."

"Ribery exploded at the start of the game tonight!"

"Now, all doubts and worries about him can be put aside."

"This goal completely convinced everyone!"

"Less than 5 minutes into the game, Ribery gave Bayswater Chinese the lead!"

Inside the stadium, all the fans rushed out of their seats frantically, shouting Ribery's name at the top of their lungs.

On the sidelines, Yang Cheng also jumped up excitedly, covered his mouth with his hands, and shouted Ribery loudly.

Having coached for 30 years in his previous life, Yang Chengke knew too well the ups and downs of his players' performance.

Especially this group of young players.

Those media outside just want to create some news.

Yang Cheng quickly turned around and waved his hands vigorously at the fans in the stands.

The atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became more heated.

……

With Ribery's goal four minutes into the game, Mainz fell into a very bad predicament.

They were trailing 0-2 in the aggregate.

In this almost desperate situation, many teams, especially teams like Mainz that can't even handle the domestic league, will naturally choose to give up.

Even collapse.

But Yang Cheng didn't believe it.

Because his opponent is Klopp.

As a team led by Klopp, Yang Cheng never believes that Mainz will be defeated easily.

Therefore, he repeatedly reminded the players to be careful.

as predicted.

We lost the ball within 4 minutes of the start and everyone knew that the head coach’s starting tactics had been targeted.

But Mainz's offensive became even more fierce.

Their players seemed to ignore the score at all, and didn't care how many goals they lost, they just attacked!
Attack with all your heart!
This is not a difficult task for the Chinese in Bayswater.

They continued to follow the tactics at the beginning of the game, setting up a trap and letting Mainz get in.

It’s just that Mainz was more cautious and took longer.

It was not until the 34th minute that Bayswater Chinese once again seized the opportunity.

Lambert retreated from the frontcourt to support the midfield, and after completing a two-pass combination with Modric, the Croatian broke into the middle of the penalty area, attracted the attention of two central defenders, and suddenly passed the ball to the left with his left foot.

Ribery cut diagonally into the left side of the penalty area, caught up with Modric's pass, and pushed the ball into Mainz's goal again.

Scored twice!

The French winger rushed to the sidelines, fell to his knees in excitement, and screamed to the sky.

Trailing 0-2 in the first half and 0-3 in the aggregate, they still couldn't stop Mainz.

After the change of sides in the second half, the German team continued to attack.

Especially at the beginning of the second half, Mainz created two threatening attacks in succession.

First, Benjamin Orr's shot hit the top of the crossbar.

Then came Turk's header, which was bravely saved by Neuer.

But just when Mainz thought they saw hope, in the 67th minute, the Chinese in Bayswater launched a quick attack. Ribery passed the ball from the left, and Leighton Baines inserted and made a cross.

Lambert grabbed the first point and headed the ball from close range, once again opening the Mainz goal.

3 is better than 0!

The fans in the stadium were cheering at the top of their lungs.

This game is so beautiful!
The visiting team was not conservative, the home team was more efficient, and the pace was fast. It was really interesting and exciting!
When the time entered the 70th minute, Mainz's physical fitness had obviously declined after continuous fighting.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Yang Cheng made another substitution.

He arranged for several young players and substitute players in the team to train.

In the 81st minute, Mainz took advantage of a corner kick in the frontcourt. Friedrich received Da Silva's corner kick and scored with a header.

This was also Mainz's only goal in the two-round match.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Mainz 3-1 at home and 4-1 on aggregate.

……

In the past few years, with the expansion of the Champions League, the influence of the UEFA Cup has been declining.

However, the match in which Bayswater Chinese defeated Mainz 3-1 at home still attracted the attention of European media.

Because the game attracted the attention of media and fans in Britain, France and Germany.

Needless to say, Britain and Germany are the two most important countries in the world. Behind this is even the entanglement of grievances between the old enemies of Britain and Germany.

The French media paid more attention to Ribery and Chimbonda.

Especially Ribery.

As Domenech's most valued national team rookie, Ribery's outstanding performance in the Premier League has excited the French media and fans, who believe that he may be the leader of the new generation of France after Zidane.

Ribery's poor form over the past period of time has also caused concern among many French media.

But this double goal silenced all the doubters.

This greatly relieved the French media and fans, and they naturally became more optimistic about Ribery.

The British media generally praised the outstanding performance of the Chinese in Bayswater.

As a newly promoted team, the team has 4 wins and 3 draws in the Premier League, maintaining an unbeaten record.

This is also the only unbeaten team in the Premier League.

With 15 points, the same as second-placed Charlton, they are 18 points behind Chelsea and ranked third in the Premier League.

In the UEFA Cup, they defeated Mainz twice in two rounds and advanced to the UEFA Cup group stage.

Such performance is truly outstanding for a newly promoted team.

The British media and fans' opinions on the Chinese in Bayswater have also continued to rise.

As for the German media...

Over the past few years, the competitiveness of the Bundesliga has become less and less.

They are all used to it.

……

After playing against Mainz, Yang Cheng turned his attention to the 8th round of the Premier League, the home game against Bolton.

Just as Yang Cheng commented on Bolton before the season, this is also a tough team.

Not to mention that the players introduced by the Bolton model are all strong, the head coach Allardyce is a famous English coach.

Yang Cheng dare not underestimate such a team.

In addition to the league, the next group stage draw of the League Cup also attracted Yang Cheng's attention.

This time, Adam Crozier will go to Nyon, Switzerland to watch the draw in person.

Speaking of which, the current UEFA Cup group stage is quite complicated.

After the third round of eliminations, the 3 teams that emerge will be divided into 40 groups.

Each group consists of 5 teams, and they compete against each other.

But the UEFA Cup schedule must closely match the Champions League group stage schedule.

After the group stage, the top three teams in each group will advance, that is, 3 teams, and then form a round of 24 with the eight teams ranked third in the Champions League group stage and enter a two-round knockout match.

The UEFA Cup group stage starts in October, and there is one more team in the group stage than in the Champions League, so a double round-robin format is naturally impossible.

So the schedule for the UEFA Cup group stage is that each team will play against every other team once, which means 4 games.

Among these 4 games, there must be 2 home games and 2 away games.

As for who will play at home and who will play away, it will be decided by drawing lots.

This kind of competition system can easily create big upsets.

For example, Moyes' Everton suffered a 3-1 defeat away from home to Dinamo Bucharest of Romania in the first leg of the third knockout round.

Although they were eliminated in the second leg after losing 1-0 at home, they at least had a chance to turn around.

If in the group stage, both sides will only play one game.

In other words, the home and away draws are important.

If you want to qualify from the group stage, you have to fight in every game.

In order to balance the strength distribution of each group, UEFA has adopted the seeding team and tiering rules.

But in this case, the Chinese team from Bayswater, who are participating in the European war for the first time, are destined to be ranked last.

In other words, there is a high possibility of being drawn into the death group.

In this regard, both the outside media and the club are worried.

Yang Cheng naturally wouldn't care, but he knew that what he needed most at this time was not to worry.

But faith.

Therefore, in the tactical meeting in preparation for the match against Bolton, he "comforted" his players in a high-profile manner.

"Don't worry about who we'll draw, that's something our opponents should worry about!"

"In the entire European football world, no matter who meets us, they are the ones who will be worried and unlucky!"

"We don't need to have any psychological pressure or burden at all. We just need to play to our strengths and defeat our opponents. That's enough!"

Yang Cheng's confident statement made everyone in the team regain their confidence.

　I saw a book friend saying that the badge for updating more than 1 words a day is pretty good... Well, it will take a month, wait a little longer, I will take it down and give it to everyone to play with. Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you very much! !
