I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 88: Capture Stamford Bridge! Pick up a hat trick [Subscribe]

"Did you not see my gestures, nor hear my shouts?"

During the half-time break, Yang Cheng was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

In his opinion, the game shouldn't have been played like this at all.

Chelsea had huge holes in the first half.

Especially in midfield.

Why did the team play so badly?
"Luca, I asked you to pay attention to Lampard, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

Modric was confused.

The coach called out to him to pay attention to Lampard's position, and he paid attention.

Chelsea's midfield barely participated in the attack throughout the first half.

Joe Cole, on the other hand, was very active.

When Yang Cheng saw the confused Modric, he suddenly realized that the Croatian midfielder was only 20 years old.

Realizing this, Yang Cheng reacted immediately.

His players are too young.

Young players lack experience and are not able to respond well during games.

In particular, he failed to understand Yang Cheng's intention in time.

After pulling over the tactical board, Yang Cheng quickly arranged Chelsea's player positions and activity areas.

"Look, Essien is the last one, but it's not enough to have just one Essien. He has never been a midfielder who can stand in front of the defense and protect the defense."

Why is Essien called the Ghanaian buffalo?

Because he can run very well.

If Makelele is a barrier, then Essien is a sweeper.

"Joe Cole was Chelsea's main attacker in the first half. He concentrated in the middle at the beginning, but we blocked the flanks."

"So, Mourinho made a change and Joe Cole moved a lot in the half-spaces."

"He is a bit like a No. 10 player, responsible for connecting the left and right wingers, supporting them in attacking and forming a two-on-one situation."

After Yang Cheng's summary, everyone had a clearer understanding of the situation in the first half.

"Where is Lampard?" Yang Cheng asked.

Modric looked at the tactical board and suddenly understood what the head coach meant.

"He didn't go forward, he was more protecting Joe Cole."

"Yes, he was always covering for Joe Cole and didn't dare to move forward."

Joe Cole is an outlier among English players, with excellent footwork and creativity.

But he is also vulnerable.

Once Joe Cole loses the ball, Essien becomes the last line of defense. If no one interferes in time, Essien will leave his position and press forward.

With the ability of Bayswater's Chinese midfielders, they are fully capable of breaking through Chelsea's midfield.

Modric immediately understood the coach's intention.

When Yaya Toure was assisting Joe Cole, he was worried about Lampard and retreated too far back.

In fact, Lampard was more assisting in defending Joe Cole.

"They had no one in front of the penalty area, so as long as we cut off Joe Cole's connection with the two flanks, they would either lose the ball or pass it back."

Originally, Chelsea had another option, which was to let Drogba retreat.

But because Drogba had been playing continuously and had a minor injury, Mourinho arranged for him to be a substitute in this game.

The starting player now is Argentine striker Crespo.

"We won't have much time left in the second half, so we have to seize the time."

Yang Cheng immediately put out targeted tactics for the Chinese in Bayswater on the tactical board.

"Mourinho used Gallas on the right side in this game, obviously he was very afraid of Frank."

Ribery is the most impressive left winger in the Premier League so far this season. Not only are his statistics eye-catching, but his personal abilities are also outstanding.

Neither Ferreira nor Geremi could stop Ribery.

So Mourinho used Gallas to play on the right in this game.

"After stealing the ball in the midfield, pass and cut quickly to the right."

"Lennon."

Yang Cheng pointed at Aaron Lennon.

"Your mission is to get Del Horno for me and pull all the Chelsea defenders over to me."

"Dzeko, you also need to bring the center back to our right side."

"Gallas is a central defender. Although he can also play as a full-back, he rarely appears on the right side of the defense. He is still used to playing as a central defender."

"In the first half, I saw him unconsciously move towards Terry and the middle several times in the penalty area. This is a habit he developed from playing as a central defender for a long time."

"Frank."

Yang Cheng looked at Ribery.

"You know what to do, right?"

"Understood. I will take the initiative to move to the middle and then move into the left side of the penalty area."

"Very good, we must launch an offensive quickly after the start and try to score a goal!"

……

"Peter, I heard that Arsenal moved from Highbury to a new stadium in the new season, and their match-day revenue has skyrocketed?"

At halftime, in a box in the West Stand of Stamford Bridge, Abramovich asked Chelsea's chief executive, Peter Kenyon.

This is the management talent he specially poached from Manchester United.

The team led 1-0 in the first half and the Russians were in a very good mood.

"Yes, it is expected to increase from less than 4 million pounds now to 9 million pounds," Peter Kenyon replied.

Abramovich's eyes flashed with heat.

It has more than doubled.

"What about our ticket reform for the new season?"

"A plan has been put forward, but it has not yet been announced to the public."

"tell me the story."

Peter Kenyon is also a capable man.

After he came to Chelsea, his first task was to help Chelsea increase its revenue as quickly as possible.

Ticket reform is a top priority.

How to maximize revenue under the existing conditions?
The fans can only suffer.

"Stamford Bridge has four stands. The West Stand is the newest and has the best view, especially the upper stand."

The entire stadium was not built in one go, but was a long-term investment.

It was not until Ken Bates took over the team that Chelsea completed the renovation of the stadium.

The west stand was not renovated until 2001.

This also gives the best view from the West Stand, where all 51 boxes are located.

"We are planning to increase the price of the entire West Stand Upper Floor, with the season ticket price set at £1250."

There are quite a few seats on the upper level of the entire West Stand. After increasing ticket prices, Chelsea’s ticket revenue will be able to reach a higher level.

"There are about 2500 seats in the stand below the upper level of the west stand. We plan to designate this area as a VIP area in the name of sponsors and sell it to the public in a similar way to executive boxes."

"We don't have an accurate figure yet, but we can be sure that starting from the 06/07 season, our matchday revenue will have a very substantial increase."

Abramovich nodded and said, "We must control the emotions of the fans."

"Don't worry, we will inform all major fan organizations first." Peter Kenyon is already familiar with how to increase ticket prices.

"Unfortunately, the north and east sides of Stamford Bridge are completely surrounded by railways, and there is no space for expansion on the south and west sides. Otherwise..."

Peter Kenyon was halfway through his words when he noticed that Abramovich's face had turned grim.

He immediately realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

I have heard for a long time that Chelsea wanted to buy the Chinese stadium in Bayswater, but was unable to reach a deal.

"Wait a little longer, at most in two years, that land will belong to me sooner or later!" Abramovich said fiercely.

"Two years?" Peter Kenyon was a little surprised.

Marina Granovskaia, who was standing by, replied on behalf of her boss: "When the Chinese obtained the land, they promised the Westminster City Council that the stadium would be completed before 2008."

"Do they look like they have the money to build it now?"

Peter Kenyon smiled and nodded. "I heard that they are under a lot of debt pressure right now."

Your head isn't that big, so you have to wear such a big hat.

Investing 2 million pounds in a training base is crazy!
……

Before the half-time break, no one expected that the course of the game would change drastically.

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese in Bayswater took the lead.

Chelsea still hopes to continue its performance in the first half and try to further expand the score in the second half.

But when they got to the game, they were dismayed to find that the Chinese in Bayswater did not follow the script at all.

Joe Cole continued to roam towards both wings to control the ball.

But he found that Las Diarra and Yaya Toure were blocking him.

Just two minutes into the game, Las Diarra successfully intercepted the ball from Joe Cole on the right side of the center line.

After successfully intercepting the ball, the French midfielder took a step forward and quickly passed the ball to Modric without waiting for Lampard to catch up.

Modric made a straight pass behind the defense line.

Dzeko advanced between Chelsea's two central defenders and broke into the right side of the penalty area.

Unfortunately, after Dzeko caught up with the ball, his shot was at a too small angle and was completely blocked by Cech.

But this attack also sounded the clarion call for the Chinese in Bayswater to counterattack.

Mourinho also realized something was wrong on the sidelines and immediately called on the players to strengthen their defense and stabilize their position.

The Chinese in Bayswater launched wave after wave of attacks.

In the 54th minute, Yaya Toure intercepted the ball and passed it to Chimbonda on the right.

The French right-back has been very impressive this season, striding forward with the ball along the right side.

In Chelsea's half of the penalty area, after seeing Aaron Lennon moving to the side, Chimbonda decisively chose to dribble the ball diagonally towards the penalty area.

This indeed attracted the attention of Essien and Del Horno.

Seizing the opportunity, Chimbonda made a straight pass, passing the ball between Del Horno and Terry to the right side outside the penalty area.

Aaron Lennon, who had been ready to go, almost moved forward along the right side of the penalty area.

Terry and Del Horno both returned to defense immediately, trying to double-team Aaron Lennon.

Dzeko also moved to the right immediately.

Carvalho naturally came over and maintained the formation.

Aaron Lennon was on the right side of the penalty area and didn't even think about breaking into the penalty area. Instead, he made an inverted triangle and passed the ball back.

Modric cut in from the top of the arc to the right side of the penalty spot.

He had just broken into the penalty area and happened to catch Aaron Lennon's return pass.

The Croatian player didn't stop the ball, but just lightly touched it.

The ball was lifted high, passed over the head of Gallas who was standing too close to the center, and fell into the empty left post.

Ribery rushed over and headed the ball into the goal from close range behind Gallas with no one guarding him.

The ball hit the net!
"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 54th minute, Franck Ribery scored against Chelsea!"

"1 to 1!"

After Ribery scored, he was so excited that he lost himself in thought and rushed to the sidelines, cheering and shouting.

All the Chinese in Bayswater chased him out and surrounded him.

draw!

……

Mourinho immediately realized the team's problem.

Because Chelsea's attack could not penetrate the penalty area of ​​the Chinese in Bayswater at all.

After the opponent equalized the score, the Portuguese madman made a prompt decision and replaced Duff with Drogba.

Suddenly, Chelsea changed their formation to 442, with Drogba and Crespo in the front.

Just five minutes later, Mourinho made his second substitution, with Gudjohnson replacing Robben.

There are 3 centers in total!
Mourinho still uses the same old tricks.

If you don’t have enough strength, you can make up for it with numbers.

But we have to admit that Chelsea's three center forwards are different.

Gudjohnson is good at holding the ball, Drogba is very good at power confrontation, and Crespo is good at seizing opportunities and scoring goals.

Yang Cheng also made a decisive substitution, replacing Aaron Lennon with Andreasen.

Since Mourinho replaced two wingers, Yang Cheng also decisively changed the formation and adopted a 4321 formation.

However, Leighton Baines and Chimbonda are positioned forward and shoulder the burden of the team's wing attack.

This adjustment allowed the Bayswater Chinese to block Chelsea's attack.

Mourinho's adjustments did not produce obvious results.

More than 4 Chelsea fans at the scene were shouting at the top of their lungs.

On the field, the Blues players had no way to deal with the defensive formation of the Bayswater Chinese.

Lack of creativity in the midfield and frontcourt has been an old problem since Mourinho took over as coach.

In addition to the 74th minute, Lampard's long pass caused Neuer to attack, and the 76th minute, Drogba broke into the penalty area from the left and shot, which was hugged by Neuer.

For most of the rest of the time, Chelsea were unable to create any shooting opportunities.

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, waiting silently.

He has another killer trick!

……

"Hold! Hold!"

Modric's shouts were heard from the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team in Bayswater.

This is a set-piece opportunity on the right side of Chelsea's frontcourt, which is also the left side for the Bayswater Chinese.

Leighton Baines committed a decisive foul when defending Lampard outside the left corner of the penalty area.

Lampard stood near the penalty spot, waiting for his chance.

Jose Fonte kept directing his teammates and arranging the defense.

As the backbone of the team's defense, Jose Fonte is increasingly showing the style of a great general.

The teammates around him were also happy to listen to him.

Everything was arranged properly, and Jose Fonte clapped his hands vigorously to cheer himself and his teammates.

"Cheer up, stay focused, and keep the ball!"

The teammates around him shouted in response.

This made Chelsea players look sideways.

They found that the young Chinese players from Bayswater became more and more motivated as they played more.

What a weird team.

Who would have thought that this Premier League team, the youngest team in the four top European leagues and a newly promoted team, would now have made it into the top four of the Premier League.

It's simply unbelievable.

Only after really fighting with this team can you understand the tenacity of the Chinese people in Bayswater.

……

Soon, accompanied by a whistle from the referee Howard Webb.

The restricted area suddenly became chaotic.

Chelsea gathered all the high points in the Bayswater Chinese penalty area.

Terry, Gallas, Carvalho, Crespo, Drogba and Gudjohnson.

There are Joe Cole and Essien outside the penalty area.

The game has reached the 86th minute and there is nothing to hold back at this point.

But just when Lampard took the corner kick, the Chinese players of Bayswater suddenly pressed forward together, and none of them looked at the ball, but went after the people.

They weren’t trying to steal the ball.

But the purpose is to interfere with Chelsea players in heading competition!
Mourinho jumped up when he saw this on the sidelines.

"What kind of bullshit tactic is this?"

But Chelsea's players were disturbed and failed to jump in time to grab Lampard's free kick.

The original landing point was in the middle near the penalty spot.

As a result, no one got the ball and it fell to the left side of the penalty spot.

Galas wanted to rush forward, but there stood a tall mountain in front of him.

Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure used his body to block Gallas and chested the ball outside the penalty area.

The French defender stretched out his hand to stop Yaya Toure and collided with him with his shoulder.

Although he is not very tall, Gallas is confident in his strength in confrontations.

But this time, he seemed to have hit a wall.

Yaya Toure only staggered slightly, but Gallas himself stumbled.

So fucking strong!

Just like Drogba!

Yaya Toure rushed out of the penalty area quickly, kicked the ball that he had stopped, and pushed it forward with force.

"The Bayswater Chinese are fighting back quickly!"

Joe Cole, who was closest to the ball, failed to rush forward in time and was directly rushed over by Yaya Toure.

Essien originally wanted to retreat, but he didn't expect that Joe Cole would let Yaya Toure pass through the defense area so easily. After being shocked, he gave up returning to defense and chose to steal the ball.

At the same time, Essien was calling out to Del Horno, signaling him to return to defense quickly.

Yaya Toure's dribbling speed became faster and faster and he soon passed the center line.

Essien was at the bottom of the center circle, rushing towards Yaya Toure quickly, trying to force Yaya Toure to the right sideline.

The two African players' bodies were entangled tightly together.

Essien, who is slightly shorter in height, is very clingy once he gets close to the opponent.

Yaya Toure wanted to protect the ball, so he had to slow down and keep the ball on his right foot.

Just as he slowed down a little, a familiar voice came from the right.

"This way!"

Yaya Toure caught a glimpse of a red figure out of the corner of his eye and passed it without thinking.

Chimbonda sprinted along the right sideline, caught up with Yaya Toure's pass, and continued to rush forward.

Seeing Yaya Toure pass the ball, Essien gave up the fight and returned to defense immediately.

Yaya Toure also sprinted forward closely following Essien.

Dzeko in the middle slowed down a little, and there was a Ribery and Lampard at the back.

The Chinese in Bayswater launched this quick counterattack very resolutely.

Chimbonda dribbled the ball on the right and pressed forward step by step. He quickly rushed into Chelsea's 30-meter area before slowing down and moving diagonally towards the penalty area, forcing Del Horno to retreat towards the penalty area.

Del Horno has great offensive abilities, but defense is not his strong suit.

After joining Chelsea, a series of mistakes made Del Horno suffer tremendous public pressure.

At this time, he became the last defensive player of the team. Watching Chimbonda approaching step by step, he kept reminding himself to stay calm and always block Chimbonda's route to the penalty area.

As long as he is not allowed to enter the penalty area, his defense is acceptable.

In a state of high mental tension, when Zimbonda came in front of him, he suddenly lowered his left shoulder as if he was going to cut inside. Del Horno was shocked and adjusted his center of gravity without thinking, trying to intercept him.

Unexpectedly, Chimbonda suddenly kicked the ball to the right side outside the penalty area with his left foot.

Walk the bottom line!
Del Horno also reacted quickly, adjusting himself immediately and rushing forward again.

But it was still a beat slow.

Chimbonda suddenly accelerated, chased his pass on the right side of the penalty area, and then turned his head to look inside the penalty area.

Yaya Toure had already rushed in and raised his hands high to ask for the ball.

Dzeko behind him and Ribery at the back post also caught up.

Chimbonda didn't hesitate any longer. After catching up, he kicked the ball with his right foot and made a cross.

At the front of the small penalty area, Yaya Toure was like a heavy tank, rushing into Chelsea's penalty area with great momentum, catching up with Chimbonda's cross, and jumping high.

At this moment, the Ivorian midfielder was like a god descending from heaven. Essien, who was blocked behind him, could only look up.

Yaya Toure headed Chimbonda's cross towards the far post.

Cech reacted quickly enough and flew to make the save.

The angle of this header was very tricky, and Cech had stretched his arms as far as he could.

But unfortunately, the fingertips just touched it and failed to change the direction of the ball.

The ball hit Chelsea's goal again.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 86th minute, in the 86th minute, Bayswater Chinese scored another goal!!"

"Header from Yaya Toure!"

"This is definitely a crucial lore!"

"The Ivorian midfielder scored a very fierce and tricky header against Chelsea!"

"2 to 1!"

"The Chinese in Bayswater have completed a comeback!"

After Yaya Toure scored the goal, he turned around and ran away excitedly.

But as soon as he turned around, Dzeko caught up with him and hugged him tightly.

Then there's Ribery, and then there's the others.

Bayswater Chinese players chased up one by one and pushed Yaya Toure down in Chelsea's penalty area.

On the sidelines, in front of the visiting team's coaching booth, Yang Cheng was already shouting and yelling excitedly, cheering and shouting, venting his inner excitement and excitement.

This formed a very sharp contrast with Mourinho's depressed expression in front of the home team's coaching bench.

When Yaya Toure got up from the grass, he clenched his right fist tightly towards the head coach on the sidelines and roared again.

This is not a demonstration or an expression of venting, but more like a thank you to Yang Cheng.

He was telling Yang Cheng: I didn’t let you down!

……

At the moment the goal was scored, Stamford Bridge fell into deathly silence.

Then there was a burst of boos.

No one knows whether the boos are directed at the home team or the visiting team.

"We still have time!"

The on-site announcer's call came from the radio at Stamford Bridge.

"There are still five minutes left in the game and there is overtime. We still have enough time to equalize or even reverse the score."

"Chelsea players must not be discouraged at this time!"

“This is Stamford Bridge!”

"We haven't lost a game in this stadium for a long time. We will definitely be able to equalize the score or even reverse the opponent!"

"Come on, Chelsea!"

"Come on, Blues warriors!"

The fans at the scene seemed to have their passion awakened and they all started shouting excitedly.

In front of the home team's coaching bench, Mourinho also reacted, rushed to the sidelines, and kept shouting at the players.

Since he took over as Chelsea coach, the Blues have never lost at home!

Although they had lost to Bayswater Chinese twice before, one of those losses was at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium in the League Cup final.

Another time was on the road.

Mourinho has always been proud of his unbeaten record at home.

He would never allow his team to lose to Bayswater Chinese!
"Fuck them for me!"

Sitting in the stands, despite the noise, Abramovich and others could still hear Mourinho's roar.

Chelsea's players were also going crazy.

After the kick-off, they all rushed towards the Bayswater Chinese half and towards their goal without hesitation!
The visiting team retreated to the front of the penalty area and set up a tight defense.

Andreasen retreated to the back line, Modric also returned to defense in time, and the team formation became similar to 5311.

Chelsea had three centre-forwards in front, but none of their midfielders could hold onto the ball against the tight formation of the Bayswater Chinese.

In the end, they even had to adopt the strategy of long passes to find three center forwards.

But what effect can such an offensive tactic have?
From the 87th minute onwards, Chelsea didn't even have a single shot in the penalty area.

Either the long pass is disrupted or a long shot is taken from far away.

None of these can threaten the goal guarded by Neuer.

When the time was up, Howard Webb also blew a cruel whistle.

The entire stadium suddenly became overwhelmed.

The players on the field were stunned.

Mourinho also looked frustrated.

The fans in the stands sat there in a daze.

Inside the Stamford Bridge stadium, only the Bayswater Chinese players were cheering and running.

Head coach Yang Cheng also rushed into the stadium excitedly, jumped directly onto Yaya Toure's back, waving his arms, cheering and shouting wildly!
They beat Chelsea!

At Stamford Bridge!
This is not the first time.

But this time it’s different and has a more profound meaning!

Because, this is Mourinho's Chelsea!
……

As soon as the battle at Stamford Bridge ended, the news spread around the world at an extremely fast speed.

All countries and regions covered by the Premier League broadcast reported the news as soon as possible.

With two goals from Ribery and Yaya Toure, the Bayswater Chinese conquered Mourinho's Stamford Bridge!
Media and fans around the world have sung praises to this new Premier League team.

Twenty days ago, everyone sympathized with the Bayswater Chinese's devilish schedule.

Even for a strong team, it is basically impossible to maintain their results when faced with a schedule like theirs and facing strong opponents so intensively.

Many people have concluded that the Chinese in Bayswater will be completely defeated.

Unexpectedly, after Yang Cheng's team finished the devilish schedule, they had 4 win, 1 draws and 2 loss in 1 league games. It cannot be said to be very good, but it is not bad either, and they got 5 points.

This allows them to remain in third place in the Premier League with 32 points.

Ahead of them are Manchester United with 34 points and Chelsea with 37 points.

Liverpool followed closely behind Bayswater Chinese with 31 points.

Not only that, Bayswater Chinese defeated Newcastle in the League Cup and successfully advanced.

In the UEFA Cup group stage, they won all four games and advanced as group leader.

Whether it is the league or the cup, the Chinese at Bayswater have withstood the pressure and firmly maintained their position in the first group of the Premier League.

"The schedule of the past 20 days has brought us tremendous pressure, but it has also provided us with very valuable training opportunities."

"Through this period of time, our players have grown and improved."

"More importantly, we gained confidence."

"We are playing well against Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea."

"This makes us firmly believe that we have the strength to continue to compete with these strong teams!"

Yang Cheng's remarks at the post-match press conference were interpreted by the media as a manifesto from Yang Cheng, on behalf of the Chinese at Bayswater, challenging the giants of the Premier League!

The whole world can clearly see from this manifesto that Bayswater Chinese, this newly promoted team, is no simple matter!
……

November 12th, afternoon, Loftus Road Stadium, London.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Charlton at home.

At the start of this season's Premier League, the two most eye-catching teams are Bayswater Chinese and Charlton Athletic.

Even by the end of October, these two teams will still be ranked in the top four of the Premier League and attract much attention.

But in November, when the schedule became more intense, the two teams took completely different paths.

从11月开始，查尔顿先是客场1比4惨败给了布莱克本，接着主场1比3输给了曼联。

They then lost 0-1 to Aston Villa away from home, and then suffered a 2-5 defeat to Manchester City at home.

After four consecutive defeats, they finally beat newly promoted Sunderland 4-16 at home in the 2th round of the Premier League.

Not only that, they were also eliminated by Blackburn in the League Cup.

In these same five rounds of games, Bayswater Chinese have a more intensive schedule than Charlton and their opponents are also stronger.

Yang Cheng's team achieved a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 loss in these 1 rounds of games.

Although the ranking has dropped, it is still ranked third in the Premier League.

Especially the 2-1 reversal of Chelsea away from home, that battle made the whole of Britain excited.

Even now, the English football world does not like the wealthy Chelsea.

Too rich, too powerful!

Only when the tide goes out can you find out who is swimming naked.

It was only after the competitions in November and December that the whole of Britain really started to pay attention to the Bayswater Chinese.

Charlton's head coach, Curbishley, said in an interview with the media, "I hope my team can prove our strength with a victory away from home!"

But what Kubishley didn't expect was that his team not only failed to do as he wished, but also had its last fig leaf torn off on the away field.

Their goal lasted just nine minutes.

……

As Dzeko's performance became more and more outstanding, Lambert, as the team's number one center forward, also began to feel the pressure.

Faced with the challenge from the Bosnian center, his choice was to fight back.

And he punched hard.

Just 9 minutes into the game, the England center forward suddenly fired a long shot from the front of the penalty area.

The shot was so powerful and sudden that Charlton goalkeeper Dean Kelly was unable to react.

1 is better than 0!

This was also the first time Lambert scored for Bayswater Chinese this season.

Afterwards, the game completely entered the rhythm of the home team. Charlton could only adopt a defensive counterattack tactic, trying to bring out Darren Bent's speed and impact advantages.

But in the 51st minute of the second half, with the help of a wave of attacks at the beginning, Ribery broke into the left side of the penalty area, received a long pass from Modric, and volleyed the ball to the front of the goal.

Charlton center back Hreidason and goalkeeper Kelly both mistakenly thought the opponent would clear the ball, but it was missed.

Lambert took advantage of the situation in front of the goal and easily shot the ball into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

Scored twice!

The England center forward was so happy!
What was even more unexpected was that under the powerful attack of the Chinese in Bayswater, Charlton once again delivered a gift.

In the 61st minute, Leighton Baines made a precise cross from the left, trying to find Lambert in the penalty area.

Charlton center back Chris Perry headed the ball away.

As a result, Perry didn't know if it was a problem with his jumping or what, but his header was not accurate and he directly "assisted" the ball to Lambert.

The England center forward was standing on the penalty spot and couldn't believe his luck.

It's okay for Ribery to feed the ball into his mouth, but did Charlton's central defender also cooperate like this?

Buying a ball?
Lambert certainly wasn't polite and shot the ball directly, which penetrated Charlton's goal again.

3 is better than 0!

hat trick!

Lambert was so happy that he went crazy.

He would never have thought that he would get lucky again and again.

The fans at the scene also enjoyed the game very much.

After a tough devil's schedule, the Bayswater Chinese had a week's rest and recuperation. Facing the weaker Charlton, they finally launched another refreshing offensive.

……

While Bayswater Chinese beat Charlton 3-0 at home, Liverpool beat Sunderland 2-0 away.

Manchester United beat Aston Villa 2-0 away from home.

Tottenham Hotspur drew 3-3 with Middlesbrough away from home.

Bolton won 4-0 away from home against Everton.

As the focus of this round and highly anticipated by fans all over the world, Arsenal played against Chelsea at Highbury. In the end, Chelsea defeated the Gunners 2-0 with goals from Robben and Joe Cole.

After this battle, Chelsea continues to lead the standings.

Manchester United, Bayswater Chinese and Liverpool followed closely behind.

The Gunners fell directly from 6th to 8th, ranking even lower than Bolton and Manchester City.

After this battle, Arsenal, who only got 17 points in 26 league games, has basically lost hope of winning the championship.

This is also hailed as the earliest season in Arsenal's history to leave the championship race.

Wenger blamed Chelsea midfielder Essien after the game, saying the Ghanaian should have received a red card.

Mourinho hit back, saying it was just Wenger's impotent rage.

"If anyone deserved a red card in this game, it was Senderos."

"He fouled Drogba, which should have been a red card, and then he did it to Robben, which should also be a red card."

The British media generally believe that Chelsea has torn off Arsenal's last fig leaf.

The Sun, in an attempt to create more chaos, released a photo of Chelsea captain Terry hugging Arsenal captain Henry after the game.

Although there are no words, everyone can read loneliness from Henry's back.

And the World News, far away in Catalonia, Spain, wrote an article.

"When Arsenal's title chance became a theoretical possibility, a lonely Henry was preparing to flee Highbury."

This caused panic among Arsenal fans.

Vieira is gone.

Henry's position in the Gunners is becoming increasingly important.

Even the British media generally believe that the current Gunners are Henry's team.

This is both a recognition of Henry, but it is also a denigration of Arsenal's declining strength.

If Henry is indeed gone, what will be left for the Gunners?
……

"The reaction from the fans has been very strong and we have to find a way to keep Henry."

After playing against Chelsea, Arsenal was in a slump from top to bottom.

Club chairman Peter Hill-Wood and vice-chairman David Dunn made a special trip from the city center to Colney training base, and after comforting the players, they met with Wenger in his office.

Although Chairman Peter Hill-Wood does not directly manage the club and most things are handed over to David Dein, he is still very concerned about the reaction of Arsenal fans.

Wenger glanced at David Dunn, who immediately took over the conversation.

"We have already started working on a new contract extension which will see Henry's salary increase to £12.5."

This is the weekly salary.

Currently the highest weekly salary in the Premier League is 10 pounds for Gerrard of Liverpool.

One of the important reasons why Arsenal was anxious to renew Henry's contract was that his contract expired in 2007.

The current contract, Henry's weekly salary is 7.5 pounds.

This salary increase is indeed enough to prove Arsenal's sincerity in renewing the contract.

"I talked to Henry."

Wenger knew that the two powerful bosses of Arsenal came here at the same time just to finalize this matter.

"He said he wanted to see the club's ambitions and he was disappointed with the current situation."

Hillwood and David Dunn looked at each other and noticed the strange look in each other's eyes.

A bit helpless, but also a bit resentful.

Why can't Henry understand the difficulties faced by management?

"Can't he see that we have invested 3.5 million pounds to build a brand new football stadium, which is by far the best football stadium in the Premier League and even in the UK? Isn't that enough?" Hill-Wood asked.

His family has always been proud of Arsenal, and naturally they hope that Henry will be like them.

Wenger was a little confused by this sentence.

He had no way to defend Henry in front of the chairman and vice chairman.

Could he say that Henry had given enough?
"Sign up the contract first and see what Henry says before making a decision." David Dunn saw his friend's dilemma.

This is the only way we can do it.

The topic was also intentionally shifted by David Dunn to the current situation of the team.

"Now, we are ranked 8th in the Premier League and the fans are very dissatisfied with this," Hill-Wood added.

Wenger would like to say that I am also very dissatisfied.

But what can be done?

"My players and I have tried our best, but we must strengthen our recruitment and improve the team's strength."

David Dunn knows football, "Which position do you want to recruit?"

“Left back, winger and centre forward.”

"Who are the candidates?"

"There is no left-back at the moment. Ashley Cole and Gael Clichy are both unable to see a timetable for their return. I don't have a left-back available."

David Dunn nodded in understanding.

"However, winter transfers are also troublesome. Top players generally don't enter the transfer market at this time, and high-level players are restricted by European competitions."

Currently, UEFA's regulations on the registration of players for European competitions are that a player cannot represent two teams in intercontinental competitions in a season.

Although there have always been calls for reform, it is definitely impossible this season.

"We can arrange for him to play in the league," Wenger replied.

David Dunn has been friends with Wenger for many years, and he knows very well who Wenger wants to sign.

Wenger has talked to Ribery of Bayswater Chinese many times.

"But we can't pay too much for a player who can only play in the league."

David Dein rejected Wenger again.

"Perhaps, Arsene, we can consider taking action next summer."

Wenger sighed with some disappointment. "You know, in the game against Chelsea, Ljungberg was the worst player in our team. He is no longer the Ljungberg of previous years."

Ljungberg was once Wenger's favorite, but his form has been really bad this season.

Wenger also has his own calculations.

Pires is old and his contract will expire next year, so the club is not considering renewing his contract.

Then we should consider signing a left winger next summer.

If Arsenal cannot sign a right winger during the winter break, it will be more difficult to recruit players on both sides of the field at the same time given their current financial situation.

Wenger is no fool.

As a person with a background in economics, he also understands what upward management means.

"For the center position, I already have a suitable candidate, that is Adebayor from Monaco in Ligue 1. His transfer fee should be within our acceptable range."

The player also played in the UEFA Cup for Monaco, so he cannot play in the Champions League for Arsenal.

But it is not important.

"As for wingers, I still hope to sign Ribery, the Chinese player from Bayswater. This will greatly weaken the competitiveness of our opponents in West London." Wenger reminded.

David Dunn and Hill-Wood looked at each other, both with thoughtful expressions.

After a tough schedule, the strength of the Bayswater Chinese has been proven.

The West London team's third place in the Premier League was beyond everyone's expectations.

Head coach Yang Cheng is recognized by everyone as the number one contributor.

Ribery is the number one player that Yang Cheng trusts, and he is also the best performing winger in the Premier League this season.

Even better than Chelsea's Robben and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

"I'm afraid this is beyond our acceptance."

But weakening the Bayswater Chinese is a very good idea.

At the same time, it can also strengthen Arsenal's strength.

If possible, Arsenal is unwilling to sign players during the winter break.

In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, there is another very important factor: whether the players can integrate into the team.

There is an entire preparation training camp for the summer transfer window, which helps the players integrate faster.

But there is no winter break.

This also makes the players introduced during the winter break more risky.

If the players are from the same league, the same city, and are familiar with each other, it can be considered.
