I build a giant in the Premier League

Yang Cheng has long admired Basel, Switzerland.

Coincidentally, in all the years he coached in his previous life, he had never played a game in Basel, Switzerland.

I have to say, this is a very magical thing.

But he could not forget Basel.

It’s not that this Swiss team is so strong, but because there is a very special stadium here.

St. Jakob Park!

Maybe after saying this, many people probably don’t know it.

But it was designed by two Swiss men, Herzog & de Meuron.

Yes, he is the designer of Munich’s Allianz Arena and the Beijing Bird’s Nest!
St. Jakob Park is the stadium that made them famous.

It was precisely because of the unique design of this stadium that it became famous, and later it received the design work for the Allianz Arena and the Bird’s Nest.

This stadium is also well-known throughout European football.

The stadium was first built in 1919 and the first stand was constructed in 1937.

In 1954, Switzerland hosted the World Cup, and this stadium was an important venue for the game, with a capacity of 56000 people.

But after the World Cup, the stadium was too big and basically wasted, and gradually became abandoned.

Later, it even hosted greyhound races, athletics, concerts, etc.

By the 90s, the reconstruction of St. Jakob Park was on the agenda.

Herzog & de Meuron took over the job and the stadium capacity was reduced to 32000.

But the most unique thing is that a large shopping mall and apartment building have been built on the south stand of the stadium.

This makes the entire stadium completely hidden by the shopping mall and apartment buildings. From the main road outside, the stadium cannot be seen at all, which has a very special effect.

With a shopping center of nearly 2 square meters and 107 apartments, St. Jakob-Park has caused a huge sensation in European professional football.

Because over the years, all clubs have been trying to generate revenue from the stadium itself.

Basel has benefited greatly from the successful transformation of the St. Jakob Park Stadium.

Even if it is not a match day, tourists love to come here to visit, play and live.

More importantly, during the 2008 European Cup, after a temporary renovation, the capacity of St. Jakob Park was temporarily increased to 4 people.

After the European Cup, some of it was demolished, but there are still 36000 people left.

The modern appearance and advanced design concept made Herzog & de Meuron famous in European football.

Allianz Arena, Bird’s Nest, and even the grand bidding campaign for the renovation of Camp Nou in 2007, they have been guests of honor for major football teams.

In this season’s Champions League round of 16 knockout match, Basel’s first-leg match against Bayswater Chinese attracted 36000 people, filling the entire St. Jakob Park Stadium.

……

Although Basel is one of the dark horses in this season’s Champions League group stage, Bayswater Chinese did not send all its main players to this game.

Yang Cheng made appropriate rotations.

There are two players in the Basel team who left an impression on Yang Cheng.

One is winger Shaqiri.

The 20-year-old winger has performed well in this season’s Champions League, attracting the attention of major clubs.

Another one is the 19-year-old Swiss midfielder Xhaka, who was Yang Cheng’s previous life and later joined Arsenal.

In general, Basel still values ​​​​and promotes young players.

The same is true for Yang Cheng in this game.

Young players such as Aaron Ramsey, De Bruyne, Hazard and others all qualified for the starting lineup.

Both teams had very young lineups, and they started the game with a fast-paced offense and defense.

Although the Chinese players of Bayswater launched continuous attacks and created several threats in the first ten minutes.

But Basel started to exert its strength after 15 minutes.

The most threatening thing was Xhaka’s cross from the right, and Alexander Frey shot with his left foot, but Courtois flew to save the ball.

At the end of the first half, Bayswater Chinese once again launched a wave of attacks.

Giroud got a chance to hook the ball with his left foot on the left side of the penalty area, 7 meters away from the goal. However, the distance was so close that he lacked strength and the ball was easily caught by Basel goalkeeper Sommer.

Yang Cheng kept shaking his head on the sidelines.

This guy Giroud is really unreliable when it comes to scoring!

After the change of sides in the second half, the Chinese players of Bayswater took control of the situation on the field and launched offensives in turns.

In the 65th minute, Yang Cheng made a substitution, Harry Kane replaced Javi Martinez.

At this time, the team also changed its formation to 442, just like Basel.

Just 7 minutes after the substitution, Harry Kane retreated to receive the ball and made a wonderful through pass.

Giroud seized the opportunity 10 meters in front of the goal and shot with his left foot.

As a result, the shot was at too straight an angle and was saved again by goalkeeper Sommer.

Just when everyone thought Giroud had missed another chance, Harry Kane quickly came back, took advantage of the opportunity and sent the ball into Basel’s goal.

1 is better than 0!

Basel then launched an attack and almost scored a goal.

But Courtois performed very stably and kept the goal safe!
In the end, Yang Cheng’s team defeated Basel 1-0 away.

This dark horse in the Champions League group stage lost at home.

Throughout the game, Bayswater Chinese players took 26 shots but only scored one goal.

Yang Chengshi really doesn’t know whether he should be happy?
Or be happier?
If Giroud’s scoring ability were a little higher, he would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

That’s the kart that can score goals!
……

If we talk about the dark horse in this season’s Champions League group stage, apart from Basel, it would be Nice from Ligue 1.

The French side, coached by Ronald Koeman, faced Mourinho’s Real Madrid in the round of 16.

Before going to France, Mourinho was full of confidence and felt like he had everything in hand.

But when they actually arrived in Nice and the game started, Real Madrid, who had been trapped in the round of 16 curse, soon discovered that their opponents were not that simple at all.

Real Madrid, who won consecutive games in the group stage, scored a goal in the 28th minute of the game.

In a quick counterattack, Coentrao assisted Ronaldo to score.

But Nice showed great tenacity throughout the game and did not allow Real Madrid to score again.

Through tight defense, they blocked Real Madrid’s wave after wave of attacks.

He defended until the second half, in the 93rd minute of extra time, and took advantage of a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, taking advantage of the distraction of the Real Madrid defender and quickly sent a free kick.

Kevin Stroman made a sudden long shot that broke Casillas’ goal and successfully equalized the score.

The countdown equalized!

After the game, Mourinho was severely criticized by the Spanish media.

The reason is that he is too conservative.

Starting from the 65th minute, both teams made substitutions one after another.

Every substitution Ronald Koeman makes is to strengthen the attack.

All three substitutions were for attackers.

Mourinho’s substitutions were all aimed at strengthening the defense, including replacing the dead-eyed Mesut with Raul Albiol.

In this situation, the final draw was entirely their own fault!
Because of scoring against Real Madrid, Dutch midfielder Kevin Stroman won unanimous praise from the outside world.

……

After returning to the UK, the 5th round of the FA Cup was immediately approaching.

Bayswater Chinese host Arsenal at home!

This is another peak showdown!
If nothing else, just the fact that the referee touched Howard Webber showed how much importance this game received.

Compared to the Gunners who were still distracted by the Champions League round of 16 knockout stage, Yang Cheng was very bold in rotating his players in the away game of the Champions League.

So in this game, from the very beginning, the Chinese in Bayswater showed better competitive form than Arsenal.

Wenger still hopes to launch attacks from both flanks in this game.

But the Bayswater Chinese also adopted targeted tactics.

Piszczek was injured and right back Kyle Walker started.

Yang Cheng used him to keep a close eye on Sanchez.

Whenever Sanchez got the ball during the game, Kyle Walker would appear behind the Chilean.

This gave Sanchez a headache.

In terms of physical strength, he does not have an advantage.

In terms of speed, he doesn’t have an advantage.

Fight with your footwork…

The fierce Kyle Walker didn’t care about anything and just rushed forward.

Or it should be called, being unreasonable.

It feels like a barbarian beating a master to death with random punches.

Both teams played aggressively, but both made full use of targeted tactics.

Arsenal’s attack had difficulty posing an effective threat and they were forced to pass the ball back.

Whether it’s Sanchez on the left or Nasri on the right, it’s basically the same.

“We’ve already played 38 minutes into the first half and the score is still 0-0.”

“Both teams played at a high tempo, but both teams did a pretty good job of playing targeted defense.”

“Arsenal still passed the ball to the left and gave it to Sanchez.”

“We saw that Klich also came up to assist.”

“Kyle Walker was behind Sanchez and didn’t give him a chance to turn around.”

“Sanchez had no choice but to pass the ball back.”

“The two players have battled with each other many times in this game, but it seems that Sanchez has not been able to take advantage of Kyle Walker.”

“Arsenal kept passing the ball back to goalkeeper Lloris.”

“Loris raised his hand, signaling his teammates to slow down.”

When Yang Cheng, who was standing on the sidelines, saw Lloris raise his hand, and then looked at the performance of the Arsenal players on the field, he immediately realized the opportunity, took a step forward, bent down, shouted loudly to Modric, and signaled to press forward.

“Hurry up and get up!”

“Attack!”

Wenger was sitting in the visiting team’s coaching booth. He saw Yang Cheng’s actions and was a little nervous, but still did nothing.

There are only a few minutes left in the game. If we can hold on in the first half, the second half will be much easier.

At this moment, the ball is at Lloris’ feet.

Since it was a return pass from his teammate, he couldn’t use his hands the first time.

The two central defenders, Zielinski and Vermaelen, were separated further away, making it easier for them to receive passes from the goalkeeper.

Lewandowski quickly ran towards Ziglinskiy, trying to put pressure on the Ukrainian central defender.

This is also a very common frontcourt pressing tactic.

As long as the opponent approaches, the goalkeeper dare not pass the ball.

Sure enough, Lloris turned to Vermaelen.

But Di Maria also rushed towards the Belgian central defender at the first opportunity.

This made Loris hesitate.

The French goalkeeper cursed inwardly and kicked forward with a big foot.

But he did not kick the ball blindly, but kicked it to the front court to find Van Persie.

The Dutchman dropped back and headed the ball to Sanchez on the left.

Before the Chilean received the ball, he felt a huge pressure from behind, like a mountain pressing down on him.

That feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

The most outrageous thing is that this mountain is running so fast!
Sanchez’s first reaction was to turn around, protect the ball, and quickly pass it back to Clichy.

Then he heard Kyle Walker shouting beside him, and then felt a gust of hot and humid wind passing by him.

The burly fellow was actually still accelerating and rushed directly towards Chrissy.

Modric retreated and came closer, ready to assist in defense at any time.

Sanchez’s first reaction was to call out to Clichy to alert his partner.

Klich saw Kyle Walker.

The speed is too fast.

Combined with his large body and speed, he is really intimidating.

Krishna immediately turned around and passed the ball back.

He had been entangled once before and was unable to withstand Kyle Walker’s physical confrontation.

But no one expected that the Chinese in Bayswater suddenly increased the pace of pressing in the frontcourt.

When Clichy passed the ball back to Vermaelen, before the Belgian even received the ball, Di Maria was already rushing towards him at top speed.

Vermaelen took a quick step forward and wanted to kick the ball away.

Unexpectedly, Di Maria arrived too quickly.

The Argentine blocked the shot with his sideways movement, and the ball hit Di Maria solidly and bounced to the right side outside the penalty area.

Di Maria chased after him immediately.

Vermaelen also turned around and chased back at the same time.

“The Bayswater Chinese completed a beautiful counter-attack in the front court.”

“Let’s see if Di Maria can get the ball this time.”

“Vermaelen reached out to pull Di Maria but failed to do so.”

“The Argentine looks very thin, but in fact his playing style is very tenacious and he refuses to fall to the ground easily.”

“Di Maria got the ball first.”

“An emergency stop!”

The Argentine suddenly changed his rhythm, and after an emergency stop, he really stopped.

As a result, Vermaelen rushed straight past the opponent.

Di Maria dribbled the ball back with his left foot and broke into the penalty area diagonally. After looking up at the penalty area, he kicked out a cross with his left foot.

The ball was passed from the right corner of the penalty area, drew an arc, and fell towards the middle.

Lewandowski rushed forward quickly, and under the physical confrontation of Zielinski, he jumped from the right side outside the small penalty area and headed the ball towards the center.

Loris reacted very quickly, fell to the ground and dived sideways, blocking the ball with one hand.

It was not until this moment that the entire Wembley Stadium burst into exclamations!

Everyone felt sorry that this wonderful attack failed to score a goal.

But the next moment, before everyone could react, a red figure quickly cut into the penalty area from the left corner, and rushed to the outside of the left corner of the small penalty area at lightning speed, facing the ball saved by Lloris, and shot with his left foot.

This shot is still very difficult.

But the most important thing is to be able to control the ball.

Gareth Bale did it!

What he is best at is shooting from the far corner in this area, and he can control the ball every time.

This time will naturally be no exception.

There was no way Loris, who fell near the goal line, could get up and make a second save.

The ball went straight into the right side of the goal and almost went through the right side net.

1 is better than 0!

“The ball went in!!!”

“A follow-up shot from Gareth Bale!”

“At the critical moment, the continuous attack of the Chinese in Bayswater was threatening. The Welshman used his best left foot to shoot and broke through Arsenal’s goal!”

“This attack was very beautiful!”

“But the most important thing was the Bayswater Chinese’s pressing in the frontcourt. This kind of pressing pressure almost suffocated the Arsenal players and made it difficult for them to have enough time to think, which led to their mistakes.”

“This is a battle between two top teams!”

……

The first half ended with Bayswater Chinese taking the lead.

But after the second half, the Gunners showed an aggressive momentum.

Wenger’s team began to play more aggressively.

Although we are playing as a guest at Wembley Stadium, this is also a one-game match that will decide the winner.

The FA Cup is not the League Cup, Arsenal will not give up easily.

Wenger’s team began to launch attacks continuously.

Especially in the 53rd minute, after Benzema came on, the team began to adopt a double striker tactic.

At this time, Van Persie and Benzema were in the front, followed by Sanchez, Alexander Song, Fabregas and Nasri.

The two full-backs behind him were also very active in participating in the attack.

Especially Krissy.

Lichtsteiner himself is not actually very good at forward assists, and the presence of Gareth Bale also gives him a great deterrent, so he is relatively safer.

But Clichy almost used himself as a winger and was very active in moving forward.

On the left, which is the right side of the Bayswater Chinese, Kyle Walker put in an outstanding performance.

Especially on defense.

Whether it is Sanchez, Clichy, or anyone else, basically no one can take advantage in his defensive area.

Those who are stronger than him are not as fast as him; those who are faster than him are not as strong as him.

The key is that no matter what type of opponent he meets, whether it is Clichy, Sanchez, or even Van Persie or Benzema, he can deal with it calmly and defend very steadily.

This is very different from his usual self.

You know, in Yang Cheng’s view, Kyle Walker has always been synonymous with impetuous and reckless.

But tonight was truly impressive.

Just like in the 74th minute, when Fabregas passed the ball to his team’s left side and gave it to Sanchez who retreated to receive the ball.

When the Chilean winger received the ball on the flank, he faced the direction of attack but did not continue forward.

Because the front entered Matic’s defense zone.

Sanchez passed the ball to the left and passed it to Clichy who came from behind.

At this time, the French full-back dribbled the ball all the way to the left side of the penalty area and faced Kyle Walker one-on-one.

England’s right-back always stood firmly in his position and did not give him any chance to break into the penalty area.

When Clichy dribbled the ball to the middle left side of the penalty area and was about to reach the baseline, he suddenly stopped and pretended to cut inside.

Kyle Walker also made an emergency stop in time to block his cutting route.

As soon as Klich stopped, he started again and immediately rushed to the baseline with the ball.

In the eyes of the French full-back, he was 7 cm shorter than Kyle Walker, and the Englishman looked much stronger than him.

In terms of speed and confrontation, I don’t have an advantage, but flexibility must be an advantage, right?
So, he suddenly stopped, then started again, dribbling the ball to the bottom line and passing it.

Especially when he saw Kyle Walker make an abrupt stop, a hint of cunning flashed in the Frenchman’s eyes.

This simple-minded, strong-limbed barbarian was fooled!
But the next moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

When he started dribbling the ball, he felt a huge force coming from his right shoulder and crashing towards him, causing his body to involuntarily tilt sideways.

Clichy almost instinctively took a step sideways to steady his body, but he soon discovered that Kyle Walker had passed by him and intercepted the ball with one foot without even waiting for it to go out of the baseline.

After stopping the ball and turning around, Kyle Walker took a look ahead and then kicked a pass directly.

The ball was passed to Modric, who was unguarded outside the penalty area behind Clichy.

The Croats began planning a counterattack.

But Klich just stared at the Englishman in front of him.

He had a short haircut and tattoos on both arms, looking ferocious. But when Kyle Walker saw Clichy, he suddenly opened his mouth and revealed a terrifying smile like the god of death.

“You seem to have forgotten to defend!”

Chrissy opened his eyes and yelled: Damn it!

Then the Frenchman quickly turned around and ran back.

But it’s too late now.
Modric made a straight pass forward to Di Maria’s feet.

The Argentine received the ball on the right side of the center circle in Arsenal’s half and strode forward with the ball.

Fabregas appeared behind Di Maria in time and reached out to pull him to stop him from launching a counterattack.

The jersey was pulled, but Di Maria sprinted forward, causing Fabregas to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

“A quick counterattack by the Chinese in Bayswater.”

“Di Maria dribbles the ball forward.”

“The Bayswater Chinese front three are all counterattacking quickly.”

“Three against three!”

“There’s a chance, let’s see this time.”

“Lewandowski pulled to the right.”

“The middle is cleared, Di Maria is still moving forward.”

“Left-foot diagonal pass behind Zieglinski in the penalty area.”

“Gareth Bale made a quick run forward and received the ball across the face of goal.”

“Lewandowski pushed the ball in front of the goal.”

“The ball went in!!!”

“2 to 0!!”

“In the 74th minute, the Bayswater Chinese made a quick counterattack after intercepting the ball in the backcourt, and played a very wonderful combination. Gareth Bale made a cross pass to assist Lewandowski to score!”

“This is a goal that almost seals the victory!”

As the live TV camera swept over, the Bayswater Chinese front trident had already rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly.

Although it was an FA Cup match, it still attracted 9 fans.

And the moment Lewandowski scored, the whole stadium was like a volcano erupting.

All the fans were cheering wildly!
……

When Howard Webb blew the whistle to end the game, Bayswater Chinese beat Arsenal 2-0 with goals from Gareth Bale and Lewandowski, and successfully advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals.

As the host, Yang Cheng walked to the visiting team’s coaching bench and shook hands with Wenger.

I also met Koscielny and Arshavin on the bench.

Both of them greeted Yang Cheng politely before leaving.

But when Wenger saw Yang Cheng, he still had a look of resentment on his face.

“You really don’t leave anyone any chance to survive now!”

“Who told you not to learn the tactics from last season?” Yang Cheng said happily.

Wenger’s face froze. This was definitely not a compliment to him.

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Wenger cursed with a smile.

Yang Cheng suddenly laughed.

If it’s the same approach as last season, Wenger will still lose tonight.

“Don’t you always use substitutes in cup matches? Why did you suddenly make adjustments this time?” Wenger felt quite strange.

Yang Cheng uses a rotation lineup to play away games in the Champions League and the main lineup to play in the FA Cup.

This is really surprising.

“Because I am confident that I can beat Basel, and I also want to advance in the FA Cup.” Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Wenger almost couldn’t help but take action.

It’s so fucking annoying!
Just win, is it necessary to do this?

But it has to be said that Yang Cheng had good luck this time as he was drawn to Basel, Switzerland, and his strength is indeed no match for the Chinese in Bayswater.

“It seems that you really want to make a big splash this season and you have big ambitions!” Wenger guessed Yang Cheng’s intention.

Previously, there were media rumors that the Chinese in Bayswater wanted to win the Champions League and the Premier League to build momentum for the upcoming opening of the new stadium.

But now it seems that Yang Cheng obviously wants more than just these two championships.

In fact, in the League Cup, Yang Cheng’s team also reached the semi-finals, but lost to Manchester City in the end.

Otherwise, they might have really been able to win the quadruple championship!

When Wenger thought of this, he felt helpless.

Because the Chinese in Bayswater are so strong!

Since Toni Kroos joined the team last season, Yang Cheng’s team has performed quite well.

They almost won the quadruple championship!
And what about this season?

They once again set their sights on the quadruple crown.

“Then you have to be careful. Manchester City is holding on to the points so tightly now. If you are too careful, you will get nothing in the end!”

After hearing this, Yang Cheng nodded very “obediently”, “Yes, you are right to remind me. After all, you have a lot of experience in this kind of thing. We will be careful.”

Wenger didn’t understand what it meant at first, but he soon figured it out.

“Wait, what do you mean I’m experienced?”

“Don’t you have a lot of experience in fighting on multiple fronts and getting nothing in the end?” Yang Cheng suddenly laughed.

Wenger immediately got angry and said, “I just reminded you with good intentions, and you treat me like this?”

How am I experienced? I’m just…

Wenger himself is at a loss for words.

It seems that he does have a lot of experience in this area.

In the past few years, Arsenal’s tactical style of play has caused huge physical consumption of the players, and there is not enough depth on the bench for rotation, which has led to the Gunners always collapsing in the second half.

The habitual collapse after fighting on multiple fronts has become Wenger’s hallmark.

Yang Cheng watched Wenger leave angrily and started laughing too.

But I still take Wenger’s reminder seriously.

Manchester City is very close in the Premier League standings.

In some ways, this is a good thing for the Chinese in Bayswater.

When there is a pursuer behind them, everyone in the team will be on edge and dare not be careless at all.

Not to mention anything else, the difference is only 2 points. If we lose one game, we will give up the league lead.

In this situation, would the Chinese in Bayswater dare to be careless?

What’s more, the team is aiming for an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title this season!
Therefore, Yang Cheng and the players are now putting their best efforts into the game and dare not be careless at all.

But injuries are inevitable.

For example, in this game, Kyle Walker replaced the injured Piszczek.

As a result, the England right-back played his best game since joining Bayswater Chinese.

But it’s mainly on the defensive end.

His defense on the right side prevented Sanchez, Clichy and others from getting any chance at all.

Kyle Walker should be considered the number one contributor to the team’s victory over Arsenal in this game.

……

Perhaps Wenger was angered by Yang Cheng, so at the post-match press conference, he accused Howard Webb of having problems with his law enforcement.

The Gunners coach pointed out that in the first half, Van Persie fell in the Bayswater Chinese penalty area during an attack, which should have been a penalty.

“100% penalty, but Mr. Weber missed it!”

Fortunately, it was Howard Webb. If it was any other head coach, Wenger would probably have started to criticize him.

What Wenger meant was that if the Gunners had not scored first due to the misjudgment of the penalty, the outcome of the game would have been completely different.

However, Sky Sports, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and many other media have refuted Wenger’s remarks.

From the slow-motion replay, Pepe’s interception of Van Persie was a very brilliant and quite skillful one.

“This was a textbook-level defense and handling. Pepe showed us the decisiveness of a world-class central defender!”

“This is a correct decision, no doubt about it!”

This season’s FA Cup is actually quite interesting.

The early Manchester derby resulted in Manchester City being eliminated.

In the fourth round of the Red Devils Derby, Liverpool defeated Manchester United.

In the fifth round, the London derby was staged and Bayswater Chinese eliminated Arsenal 5-2.

Now, among the top four teams that have entered the FA Cup quarter-finals, only Bayswater Chinese is there.

This is indeed a very interesting phenomenon.

In the quarter-finals, Bayswater Chinese faced Everton at Goodison Park.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all had very good draws.

Chelsea face Leicester City in the Championship.

Liverpool face Stoke City.

Tottenham Hotspur face Bolton.

All three teams are at home.

In other words, the Chinese at Bayswater drew the strongest opponent other than a strong dialogue.

……

On the afternoon of May 2th, the 25th round of the Premier League.

After a week’s rest, the Chinese team at Bayswater are fully staffed and head north to challenge Newcastle.

The two sides were tied 0-0 in the first half.

Alan Pardew’s team used tight defense to prevent the Bayswater Chinese from taking advantage.

But in the second half, especially after the physical energy consumption increased, Newcastle could no longer hold on.

In the 60th minute, with an assist from Lewandowski, Gareth Bale made a forward run and broke through the goal guarded by Krul near the penalty spot, scoring the first goal for the Chinese in Bayswater.

1 is better than 0!

In the 76th minute, with an assist from Gareth Bale, Lewandowski scored another goal to extend the lead.

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

It was also in this round that Chelsea defeated Bolton 3-0 at home.

It is worth mentioning that Benatia scored again.

The other two goals came from Drogba and Lampard.

After Di Matteo took over the team, Chelsea’s overall performance has improved significantly.

Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at home in this round and won the North London derby.

Manchester United beat Norwich 2-1 away.

Ferguson’s team didn’t score until the 92nd minute when Giggs scored.

Liverpool beat Everton 3-0 at home thanks to Gerrard’s hat-trick.

Manchester City also beat Blackburn 3-0 at home with goals from Kaka, Aguero and Ibrahimovic.

……

After the 26th round of the Premier League, there was a national team match in the middle of the week.

All the national team players left the team after 26 rounds and rushed to the national team to prepare for the game.

After the national team players returned to the team, the following 27th round of the Premier League was not played very well.

Liverpool played against Arsenal at home. After Kuyt scored a penalty kick to take the lead, Van Persie equalized the score in the 31st minute.

After that, the two sides fought hard until the 92nd minute, when Van Persie scored another goal, helping the Gunners to reverse Liverpool 2-1 away.

The Reds cannot yet compare with Arsenal in terms of bench depth.

Manchester City beat Bolton 1-0 at home.

The game was also played rather badly.

Chelsea even lost 0-1 to West Bromwich Albion away from home.

Manchester United challenged Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, and the two sides drew 0-0 in the first half.

Ashley Young had an explosion in the second half, scoring twice, and with Rooney’s goal, the team eventually beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 away.

Yang Cheng’s team defeated Fulham 5-0 away from home in this round.

The score looks big, but in fact, the process was not easy.

The two sides were in a stalemate in the first 35 minutes of the first half, but in the 36th and 41st minutes, Bayswater Chinese scored two goals in just 5 minutes.

And all the goals were scored by Lewandowski.

Yang Cheng even had a feeling that this kid had some kind of hobby for scoring goals continuously in a short period of time?
In the second half, after the opening, the Chinese in Bayswater played quite passively. Fulham took advantage of their home advantage and tried to suppress the Chinese in Bayswater.

But in the 56th minute, Walcott scored in a quick counterattack.

In the 61st minute, it was another quick counterattack and Walcott scored again.

What’s outrageous is that Walcott and Lewandowski both scored two goals within five minutes.

Finally, in the 83rd minute, Pogba, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal.

By the way, Lewandowski scored 27 goals in the previous 26 games!
This goal efficiency is the best in European football, except for the two players in La Liga!
Unfortunately, in front of goal-scoring maniacs like Ronaldo and Messi, this goal efficiency is still not impressive enough.

……

On the evening of May 3, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match, Bayswater Chinese will face Basel at home.

This was destined to be a one-sided, unilateral crushing game from the very beginning!

Di Maria suffered a calf injury while playing for the national team and has been resting for consecutive games since returning to the club.

In this game, Yang Cheng made rotations in the offensive lineup in the frontcourt.

After starting in the league, Hazard continued to start in this game.

Gareth Bale was moved to the right.

Just 9 minutes into the game, Gareth Bale received the ball on the right, cut inside, dribbled past the defender and made a cross.

Toni Kroos quickly inserted himself and shot the ball from 25 meters away from the goal. The ball hit the defender and bounced back.

After Gareth Bale got the ball, he swung his left foot and shot again, a long shot from 21 meters away.

But this time, the football went straight to the left side of the goal.

1 is better than 0!

After this goal, the game completely entered the rhythm of the Bayswater Chinese.

Just 5 minutes later, Hazard broke through on the left and passed the ball into the small penalty area.

Lewandowski volleyed the ball into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

In the 25th minute, Hazard continued to change speed and direction on the left, broke through the double-team of two opposing defensive players, and passed the ball to the middle again. Lewandowski easily headed the ball into the goal in front of the goal.

3 is better than 0!

The Polish center forward scored twice!

In the 30th minute, Hazard accelerated on the left, dribbled into the penalty area from near the baseline, and passed the ball back to the front of the small penalty area.

Lewandowski scored with a left-foot shot.

4 is better than 0!

The Pole scored a hat trick!

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Toni Kroos suddenly sent a long diagonal pass from the left, accurately to the right side of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale quickly cut into the penalty area, got ahead of goalkeeper Sommer, took the ball off with his left foot, shook Sommer off sideways, and shot into the empty goal with his left foot.

5 is better than 0!

One minute before the end of the first half, Gareth Bale received a pass from Modric, shook off the defender and cut inside, suddenly kicking the ball over his head with his left foot.

Modric came from behind, stopped the ball with his chest, and then volleyed the ball with his right foot into Basel’s goal.

6 is better than 0!

The whole Wembley Stadium was mesmerized by the spectacle!

9 fans in their home stadium saw with their own eyes that Bayswater Chinese team continuously attacked Basel’s goal with overwhelming advantage.

Although the Swiss team tried very hard to defend their own line, they could not withstand the rich offensive means of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Especially after the team started to play well, Basel’s defense was nothing but a piece of clay in front of the offensive firepower of the Chinese in Bayswater, and it fell apart directly.

By the second half, the Chinese players at Bayswater had obviously vented their anger, so they played more steadily.

Basel once wanted to fight back and try to score a goal.

In the 63rd minute, Alexander Frey had a very good chance to shoot.

But Courtois hugged the ball directly in his arms and kept the goal.

In the 83rd minute, Toni Kroos took the free kick on the left side of the frontcourt and passed it diagonally to the back post. Pepe headed the ball back to the center, and Harry Kane, who came on as a substitute, easily pushed the ball into the empty goal at the back post.

7 is better than 0!

In the 89th minute, Pogba, who replaced Hazard, received a direct pass from Toni Kroos and suddenly made a forward move to the left side. When goalkeeper Sommer came out, he made a lob pass with his left foot.

The ball went over Sommer’s head and into the goal behind him.

8 is better than 0!

The moment Pogba scored, the entire Wembley Stadium burst into crazy cheers!
“Let’s congratulate the Bayswater Chinese!”

“The score of 8-0 created the biggest single-match score in the knockout stage of the Champions League since the reform.”

“We have seen that Bayswater Chinese have been performing very well and very stably this season.”

“Not only have they consistently been at the top of the Premier League, but they are also one of the best teams in the Champions League.”

“Now, facing Basel from Switzerland, Yang Cheng and his players returned home after leading 1-0 away from home and slaughtered Basel 8-0 at Wembley Stadium.”

“This is an absolutely incredible score!”

“They have set a new record again!”

“Lewandowski scored a hat trick!”

“There were also two young players from the academy, Harry Kane and Pogba, who both scored goals.”

“It was an absolutely crazy feast of goals!”

“Tonight, the 9 fans at Wembley Stadium are absolutely happy because they saw a feast of wonderful goals, and it was a one-sided massacre by the team they support!”

“But it’s a very unfortunate day for Basel.”

“We could clearly see that they had basically collapsed in the final stages of the game!”

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the cheers in the entire Wembley Stadium reached its climax.

Almost all the fans in the stadium stood up from their seats, applauding and cheering for the Bayswater Chinese players on the field.

Captain Modric led his teammates, including Hazard who had been substituted, around the stands around the stadium and accepted the cheers from the fans in the stands.

At the same time, they also expressed their gratitude to the fans in the stands.

Every player’s face was filled with pride!
They are proud of the team they play for!
At the same time, we are proud of the support of the 9 fans who came to the scene!
Finally, when they returned to the coaching bench, they found that Yang Cheng had already shaken hands and greeted Basel’s head coach Heiko Vogel, and then returned to the coaching bench.

Yang Cheng hugged his players one by one and welcomed them into the player tunnel.

Yang Cheng was very satisfied with the players’ performance tonight.

Everyone is very satisfied!
With the growth of young players, the rotation of Bayswater Chinese is obviously smoother this season than last season.

Apart from anything else, Harry Kane, Pogba and others have already started to play important roles and have performed very well.

More importantly, the locker room is now more united than ever before.

Everyone is pulling together.

Everyone had only one thought.

That’s champion, champion, and champion!

All for the new stadium this summer!
