I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 241: Reversal! First defeat in the league! A unique new giant! Fighting for the triple crown! [Subscribe]

A unique new wealthy family!

When Yang Cheng’s team beat Basel of Switzerland 8-0 at home, breaking the record for the biggest score in the history of the Champions League knockout stage since the reform, media and fans all over the world were singing praises.

The midweek Champions League special issue of Germany’s Kicker magazine gave a unique in-depth report.

In this report, Kicker magazine believes that the business philosophy of the Chinese in Bayswater is worth learning from for Bundesliga teams.

A very important point is that their financial situation has always been very healthy and they have been very cautious in recruiting players.

In the report, Kicker magazine asked its readers a question.

“Do you know who is the player with the highest transfer fee that Bayswater Chinese have signed so far?”

“I believe that many fans probably can’t tell.”

“Because this Premier League giant has always been very low-key in its operations in the transfer market.”

“So far, the most expensive player they have brought in in the transfer market is Javi Martinez, who was signed from Athletic Bilbao in 2009 for £1280 million in exchange for a release clause.”

“That’s 1600 million euros.”

“You can’t find a second team like this in today’s European football, especially among the top teams!”

“Toni Kroos, who is now talked about by countless fans, only cost the Bayswater Chinese 2010 million pounds, or 1000 million euros, in 1250.”

“But both players have now become very important members of the Bayswater Chinese!”

Kicker magazine believes that Bayswater’s Chinese signings are completely different from those of other teams.

“They have a very large scout network and a very professional data analysis team. They are very cautious about every signing and are also keen to introduce young players around 20 years old.”

“The advantage of doing this is that you can avoid getting caught up in a price war in the transfer market!”

Kicker magazine analyzed that with the continuous influx of foreign capital into European football, the arms race in the transfer market is becoming more and more intense, and the value of players is also rising steadily.

In 09, Ronaldo had already created a sky-high price, but now it seems that everyone has become accustomed to it.

Manchester United’s Ferguson has complained more than once that the high prices of players are caused by foreign capital.

Many famous coaches and professionals have also expressed their concerns about the current European transfer market.

Players’ values ​​are rising.

Especially high level players!
But Bayswater Chinese took a completely different path from all other top teams.

They focus more on training and development.

“In the past, big fish ate small fish, and small fish ate shrimp. This was the ecological chain of European football.”

“But the rise of the Chinese in Bayswater has made everyone see another possibility.”

“They don’t rely on blindly recruiting players or spending money, but instead continue to build their team through more precise and pragmatic recruitment.”

Kicker magazine revealed that according to their investigation and statistics, since Yang Cheng took over Bayswater Chinese in 2003, the team has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only did it boldly introduce modern corporate management systems, but it also poached a series of high-level management elites including Adam Crozier, Omar Berrada, and Chris Hunter.

This has greatly enhanced the operational capabilities of Bayswater Chinese.

In the football business, Bayswater Chinese invested heavily in youth training and discovered young players, which not only ensured the team’s competitiveness, but also made the team a notorious “black shop” in European football.

“From 03 to now, Bayswater Chinese have earned a total of £6.375 million in the transfer market.”

Due to the exchange rate of the British pound, it is difficult to accurately calculate how many euros it is, but it is definitely a number that makes everyone astonished.

More than 6 million pounds!

The new stadium of Bayswater Chinese Football Club, which has attracted worldwide attention, is expected to cost more than 10 billion pounds.

In other words, at least half of the funds for building the new stadium were earned by Yang Cheng from the transfer market!
This is really outrageous!
But even more outrageous things are yet to come.

“You can boldly guess how much Bayswater Chinese have invested in the transfer market in the nine years since Yang Cheng took over?”

“This is definitely a number that will surprise everyone.”

Kicker magazine made a special table to count the transfer expenses and transfer income of Bayswater Chinese every season in the past few years.

These data are archived by FIFA and UEFA and are also open to the public.

In the past nine years, the Chinese in Bayswater have invested only £9 million in the transfer market.

That is to say, the average investment per season is less than 900 million pounds.

This is no longer just about making money, it’s simply a money printing machine!

In just nine years, the Bayswater Chinese earned £9 million in the transfer market.

The most amazing thing is that although Yang Cheng’s team seems to be selling players every year, in fact, the team’s competitiveness continues to rise and the team’s performance is getting better and better.

Moreover, Bayswater Chinese’s revenue is also reaching new highs.

“According to Deloitte’s external forecast, in the 2011/2012 season, Bayswater Chinese will surpass Real Madrid and become the football club with the highest revenue in the world!”

Kicker magazine stated that the success of Bayswater Chinese in the past few years has completely overturned the outside world’s impression of Europe’s top clubs.

So how did this magical team do it?
What else is worth learning?
Kicker magazine first introduced the Bayswater Chinese defense line.

This is the strongest line of defense in European and even world football so far this season.

The most core players are Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe, Piszczek and Kompany.

Kicker magazine made another table.

In this defensive line, the first person to join the team was Piszczek, who joined in 2004.

Piszczek from Poland was not a very talented player, but he played as a front attacker and even a striker in his early days.

After coming to Bayswater Chinese, he was transformed into a full-back by Yang Cheng.

During this period, he was relegated to the bench by Zimbonda and Maicon, but he still chose to stay in the team and work diligently. Now, the 26-year-old Pole has reached the peak of his career.

Marcelo’s situation is even more interesting.

The Brazilian joined the team in the summer of 2006, along with Matic, Pepe, Di Maria and Lewandowski, who together make up the current main lineup of the Chinese at Bayswater.

When Yang Cheng signed them, he only spent 601 million pounds.

Marcelo has been criticized a lot for being a substitute for Leighton Baines for a long time.

Because he has always been strong in offense but weak in defense, defense is a very obvious weakness.

“So much so that for a long time, whenever Premier League teams played against the Chinese in Bayswater, they would specifically target Marcelo’s side.”

“There was even a period of time when the news media reported that Marcelo had collapsed and was unwilling to continue staying in Bayswater Chinese and hoped to return to Brazil.”

“But Yang Cheng’s trust allowed the Brazilian to stay and continue to grow, improve and enhance himself.”

“Nowadays, although Marcelo is still strong in attack but weak in defense on the left side, his defensive level has been significantly improved, and his importance to the team is increasing.”

“In fact, many fans have begun to think that Marcelo has the ability to become the best left-back in the world!”

“Pepe, Thiago Silva and Kompany all joined the team in 06, 07 and 08.”

“In addition, there is Jose Fonte who joined the team in 04 because he could not play in the Portuguese league.”

Kicker magazine believes that the greatest feature of the Bayswater Chinese team created by Yang Cheng is his patience and training of young people.

When this group of players who joined the team in 06 or even earlier continued to grow and improve here, after a few years, they not only established a very good tacit understanding, but also cultivated deep feelings.

Moreover, they are well aware of the tactics of the Chinese in Bayswater and Yang Cheng’s football philosophy.

From this defensive line, Kicker magazine saw the attitude of the Chinese in Bayswater when it came to recruiting and promoting young players.

“If, when Marcelo collapsed, Pepe was still impetuous and reckless, and Thiago Silva could not correct his weakness in defending high balls, Yang Cheng would have lost trust in them.”

“So now, can we still see this, the most solid defense line in the history of European football?”

Kicker magazine believes that European football is becoming more and more utilitarian and less and less patient.

But this is not the case with Yang Cheng’s Bayswater Chinese.

Another piece of evidence is the midfield.

Modric was identified by Yang Cheng as a talented midfielder in 2003.

“At the hearing at the FA headquarters in SOHO Square, Yang Cheng said in front of everyone that Modric would become the best midfielder in the world!”

“Everyone scoffed at his words, thinking that he was just exaggerating to help Modric get a work permit. But now, looking back, was Yang Cheng’s words true?”

“Yang Cheng also has another very famous statement that was ridiculed and mocked by many media and fans. He said Dzeko would become the world’s top center forward, but at that time Dzeko played in midfield and his transfer fee was only 5 pounds.”

“But later, Dzeko used his performance to confirm Yang Cheng’s vision again!”

Kicker magazine believes that if Modric, Matic, Javi Martinez and others are all evidence of Yang Cheng’s vision, then Toni Kroos is another way.

This talented German midfielder has attracted much attention since his debut and has received the attention of many top teams.

Yang Cheng has been following Toni Kroos since 2005, and the two have always maintained a close personal relationship.

“But Bayswater Chinese were just a new team in the Premier League at the time and were unable to compete with many top teams, so Toni Kroos moved to Bayern Munich.”

“But Yang Cheng concluded that Bayern Munich didn’t see Toni Kroos’ potential and value at all, so he has been lying in wait, and has been silently paying attention to Toni Kroos.”

“In 2010, after five years of preparation, the opportunity Yang Cheng had been waiting for finally came!”

“Toni Kroos has a problem with his contract renewal with Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich is eager to get Bayswater Chinese goalkeeper Neuer.”

“The two giants made a deal that still makes Bayern fans feel extremely conflicted.”

“Bayern signed Neuer from Bayswater Chinese for a transfer fee of 5000 million pounds, but at the same time sold Toni Kroos to Bayswater Chinese for a transfer fee of 1000 million pounds.”

Kicker magazine revealed that they had interviewed Hoeness.

“The Bayern Munich manager said that they regretted watching Toni Kroos play for the Chinese in Bayswater because they found that this German midfielder, whom they had overlooked, had amazing potential and tactical value, but they could not see it.”

“But Yang Cheng saw it!”

“No one knows how Yang Cheng saw it, but he told everyone with facts that Toni Kroos and Modric are becoming the most important duo in the Bayswater Chinese midfield.”

“In the 10/11 season, it was the first time for both players and their cooperation was still a little unfamiliar. But in the 11/12 season, it was obvious that their cooperation was becoming more and more smooth and they were getting more and more in sync with each other.”

“Both players said more than once in interviews that they found resonance in each other.”

“Yang Cheng has been waiting for this moment for five years!”

Kicker magazine believes that Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese represent a business philosophy that is inconsistent with the current European mainstream, and they do not advocate burning money.

“From them, we see more of a return to football itself.”

Kicker magazine also revealed that in the European football industry, Bayswater Chinese is recognized as one of the clubs that treats players best.

“Many people like to use the annual salary to evaluate the importance the club places on its players, and thus come to the conclusion that the Chinese at Bayswater are exploiting their players.”

“But the opposite is true.”

“Our reporters have interviewed many players who have transferred away from Bayswater Chinese, including some who are still playing for top clubs. They all agree that although they have left, they still miss Bayswater Chinese.”

“Even after joining Bayern for many years, Ribery still said that he hopes to return to Bayswater before retiring, or return to live in London after retiring.”

“He even bought a house in London, in the West End, between Bayswater and Brent.”

Kicker magazine believes that among the many top teams in Europe, the Chinese at Bayswater are the most special.

It’s completely different from all the other big teams.

“In this unique and unique team, we see a very contradictory and unique temperament.”

“On the one hand, they were very careful with their budgets. In order to build a training base and a new stadium, they took on heavy debts and were forced to sell their star players every year.”

“But on the other hand, they have a very good reputation in the eyes of players, fans, media and even peers.”

Kicker magazine revealed that they had conducted an investigative report before Christmas 2011.

Through emails, phone calls, voting and other means, we interviewed many players from the top five European leagues, the Eredivisie, the Portuguese Super League and other leagues to select the European club they most want to play for.

In the past, this has always been the home ground of traditional top teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern, Inter Milan, AC Milan, etc., and they must have been ranked at the top.

But this time, Bayswater Chinese ranked third, the best in the Premier League.

Second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Spanish Super League.

“We have every reason to believe that in a few years, after a period of precipitation and accumulation, Bayswater Chinese will be able to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona for their position in European football!”

Kicker magazine believes that the business philosophy and values ​​conveyed by the Chinese in Bayswater are actually very consistent with the Bundesliga.

Because the Bundesliga has always paid great attention to financial health after experiencing the turmoil brought about by the bankruptcy of the Kirch Group at the beginning of the century, the so-called 50+1 policy was introduced.

All the ideas of the Chinese in Bayswater perfectly fit the Bundesliga’s thinking.

“The Bundesliga is now in a state of confusion and bewilderment.”

“In a world where foreign capital is pouring into European football, how should German teams position themselves and how should they ensure their competitiveness?”

“Perhaps, we just lack a team as unique as Bayswater Chinese!”

The article is long, but at the end, Kicker magazine also mentioned Nice in Ligue 1.

Although the club is allowed by UEFA to participate in the Champions League, everyone knows that the club is actually a satellite team of Bayswater Chinese.

The entire management team is composed of Chinese people from Bayswater.

Various management processes and business models are basically inherited from the Chinese in Bayswater.

In the just-concluded Champions League round of 16 knockout match, French Ligue 1 team Nice became famous after drawing 1- with Real Madrid at home in the first leg.

Although they lost 1-3 to Real Madrid in the second leg at the Bernabeu, they were eventually eliminated 2-4.

But in the two rounds of the game, Nice showed excellent competitiveness.

Ronald Koeman is experiencing a second spring in his career with this Ligue 1 team.

Moreover, the Nice team has also produced many talented players with outstanding performances, such as Stroman, Nastasic, Aubameyang and Pelle.

All this has allowed everyone to see the influence and support that the Chinese in Bayswater have brought to Nice.

Kicker magazine even boldly suggested that this cooperation model between the Chinese in Bayswater and Nice might be effective in the Bundesliga, because the introduction of the Chinese in Bayswater would surely inject vitality into the stagnant Bundesliga.

“Perhaps, Yang Cheng and his team can bring more vitality and more unique changes to the Bundesliga!”

……

The Champions League round of 16 knockout matches are all over, and four Premier League teams have advanced to the quarterfinals again.

Once again occupied half of the country!

This is a huge threat to all the top teams in Europe.

Everyone can see how strong the Premier League has been in the past few years.

Of course, this season’s two Spanish Super League giants are determined to break the Premier League’s monopoly in the Champions League.

The Champions League final will be held at the Allianz Arena, so Bayern Munich is also determined to reach the Champions League final.

This will undoubtedly make this season’s Champions League more interesting.

But what no one expected was that in the draw for the next UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the Chinese team from Bayswater actually drew Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga.

This caused an uproar in the British and German media.

The British media was mainly excited.

Because Germany has always been Britain’s mortal enemy.

The German media are somewhat pessimistic because they are very afraid of the strength of the Chinese in Bayswater.

When the draw was announced, Bayern head coach Heynckes said in an interview with German Bild that “Bayswater Chinese are indeed a very difficult team, but we are not pushovers either!”

Regarding whether he can beat the opponent in the game, Heynckes said that he is confident, but needs to perform better in the game.

German media have also called on Bayern Munich players to continue their efforts.

It would be best to snipe this arrogant Premier League team out of the Champions League semi-finals!

Yang Cheng didn’t feel much about being drawn against Bayern Munich.

Because it’s normal.

Among the eight teams in the quarterfinals, in addition to the Premier League top four, there are Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and AC Milan.

No matter who you meet, it’s difficult to deal with.

If we draw Bayern, it’s actually not too bad.

What Yang Cheng is really concerned about is Nice in Ligue 1.

Ronald Koeman’s team currently has the same points as Paris Saint-Germain, but is in second place due to one less goal difference.

But it can be seen that this team is still very competitive in Ligue 1 this season.

The players on the team are also performing better and better.

In the Champions League, since Nice has entered the round of 16, according to the preliminary estimate given by Xia Qing, Nice will be able to get around 2700 million euros.

That’s right, this is how profitable the Champions League is now!
Otherwise, in Yang Cheng’s previous life, why would Wenger’s Arsenal be so determined to stay in the top four of the league and qualify for the group stage of the Champions League?

Commercial revenue this season is around 1600 million euros.

Match day revenue will also increase significantly compared to last season, after all, the Champions League only has four home games.

Overall, Nice’s revenue this season will be very good.

But the expenditure is also huge.

The new stadium is about to be put into use, and the training base is expected to be completed and put into use this summer.

There is also the formation of the entire youth training team, the recruitment and deployment of personnel, and many other things.

In general, Nice’s current revenue can probably barely cover its expenses and various costs.

Of course, transfer income is not included in the revenue of Ligue 1 teams.

According to the current situation, Nice’s revenue for the entire season is expected to be around 6000 million euros.

Such income can only be ranked in the upper middle level in Ligue 1.

Because teams like Lyon, Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain and others are expected to have revenues exceeding 100 million.

Teams like Lille and Saint-Etienne basically have funds of tens of millions or even close to 100 million.

The capacity of the city and the number of fans are there.

Just like Nice, the stadium is so small, and the attendance has increased significantly this season, reaching an average of 1 people.

At the Champions League, the number can reach 1.

But so what?

With such bad infrastructure, the match day revenue for the entire season is only around 10 million Euros.

Therefore, Nice is destined to be unable to compete with the European powerhouses.

What Yang Cheng meant was that Nice should serve as a springboard.

The two rounds of the match against Real Madrid were really good and the players performed very well.

This is already good.

……

March 3st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Blackburn Rovers at home. Yang Cheng sent out all the main players in this game.

Blackburn Rovers deployed a tight defensive formation away from home.

But from the start of the game, the Chinese in Bayswater launched an attack.

Less than a minute into the game, the forwards launched a fierce attack on the right amid the cheers of the home team’s fans.

Kyle Walker, who has been in excellent form recently, once again made a forward run to join the attack in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Walcott.

The little tiger was closely marked by the defensive players outside the 30-meter area. When he received the ball, he did not pass it to Kyle Walker in front of him. Instead, he used his speed to break through a gap and passed it horizontally to Modric.

After passing the ball, the little tiger suddenly accelerated, circled around the right sideline, and cut diagonally to the right side of the penalty area line from the outside.

Modric understood what he meant when he received the ball. He blocked the defender with his body and then pushed the ball forward with his right foot without stopping.

The little tiger rushed over and without waiting for Olsson to return to defense, he made a cross pass to Lewandowski at the penalty spot in the middle.

The Polish center’s movement is actually very interesting.

He actually ran to the penalty spot very early and put pressure on Blackburn’s defense.

But when he saw the opponent’s two central defenders one in front and one behind, the connection between him and Walcott was basically cut off.

Unless you give a high ball.

But Blackburn’s defense was pulled to the right, leaving Lewandowski with no one behind him.

So, the Polish center forward called out to Walcott, and not only did he not rush towards the goal, but he took a step back and ran sideways to the right side of the penalty spot.

Blackburn’s two central defenders were disturbed by Walcott and were afraid that the little tiger would break through to the end line and make a cross, which would be very dangerous, so they retreated very far back.

This left Lewandowski in an empty field.

The little tiger’s cross pass fell right at Lewandowski’s feet.

There was no defensive player around the Pole, so he shot directly with his right foot without stopping the ball.

The ball went into the left side of Blackburn’s goal at an extremely fast speed.

1 is better than 0!

After scoring the first goal, Bayswater Chinese continued to put pressure on Blackburn.

Brutal Ben is currently fighting for relegation, but the gap in strength between them and Bayswater Chinese is still quite large.

In the 30th minute, Matic successfully intercepted the ball and passed it to Toni Kroos.

Then it was passed to the left side and given to Gareth Bale.

The Welshman dribbled the ball all the way along the left side and advanced to the left corner of Blackburn’s penalty area. When he was about to cut inside laterally, he suddenly passed the ball directly to the left side outside the penalty area.

Marcelo made a run-in and sent a low cross to the front point.

Lewandowski followed up and, just three meters in front of the goal, shot the ball into Blackburn’s goal again with the inside of his left foot.

2 is better than 0!

And just 4 minutes later, it was a quick counterattack from the left.

After receiving the pass from Toni Kroos, Marcelo sent a diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area through the gap between three defensive players on the left.

Gareth Bale quickly moved forward behind the defender, stopped the ball with his right foot, and then shot into the far corner with his left foot.

The ball rolled into Blackburn’s goal again.

3 is better than 0!

The entire Wembley Stadium was in complete carnival!
9 fans were cheering wildly!
Just before the end of the first half, the Bayswater Chinese once again launched a fierce attack.

Lewandowski caused a pass error by the Blackburn defender when he was counterattacking in the frontcourt.

After Modric got the ball, he made a long pass behind him.

Gareth Bale made a fast run forward.

The Welshman was trapped from both sides by right-back Orr and center-back Hanley, but he used his body to push Or away, kicked the ball down, and then withstood the resistance of Hanley and pushed the ball into the goalkeeper’s crotch from a small angle outside the left side of the small penalty area.

The ball passed between goalkeeper Robinson’s legs and into Blackburn’s two goalposts.

4 is better than 0!

Leading 4-0 in the first half!

The Chinese in Bayswater are on the offensive.

The team had an astonishing ball possession rate of 81.4% in the first half, a pass success rate of 93.5%, 16 shots and four goals.

Even Sky Sports said it was a horrific 45 minutes!

“For Blackburn Rovers, it was a brutal 45 minutes!”

“The Bayswater Chinese made this Premier League team aiming to avoid relegation feel the huge gap in strength between the two sides at their home ground!”

In the second half, the situation actually improved slightly.

But the Chinese in Bayswater still firmly controlled the situation of the game.

In the 53rd minute, a long shot from Toni Kroos caused goalkeeper Robinson to lose the ball.

Walcott took advantage of the opportunity at the critical moment and made a follow-up shot to expand the score again.

5 is better than 0!

In the 71st minute of the second half, Marcelo made a cross from the left, and Lewandowski leaned forward to head the ball, scoring another goal for the team and completing a hat trick!
6 is better than 0!

Just like that, this violent team that had finally struggled to climb out of the relegation zone was stepped into the relegation zone again by Yang Cheng’s team.

So far this season, the competition in the relegation zone has been very fierce.

Queens Park Rangers, who are at the bottom of the table, have 19 points.

Wigan Athletic has 21 points.

Blackburn has 22 points.

Bolton has 23 points.

Going further back, teams such as Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City, Norwich, Swansea City, Fulham, and even Everton and Sunderland have not yet completely escaped the danger of relegation.

The Premier League is now in a very divided state.

The top teams ahead are pressing forward and the competition is very fierce.

The teams behind are also struggling.

Queens Park Rangers head coach Mark Hughes said after losing 1-2 to relegation rival Bolton in this round: “I have played and coached in the Premier League for decades, and I have never seen such a brutal relegation battle!”

The media’s interpretation of this is that Mark Hughes is somewhat suspected of trying to pass the buck.

Because during the winter break, he spent 3000 million pounds, but still couldn’t get out of the relegation zone.

Other teams are also investing, and their overall strength is stronger than Queens Park Rangers.

Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for Queens Park Rangers to break out of the relegation quagmire.

But precisely because of this, in Manchester City’s away game against Swansea, after the two sides fought hard for 83 minutes, Swansea defeated Manchester City 1-0 with Luke Moore’s goal.

Swansea is also still at risk of relegation, so they have to try their best.

Although Ancelotti’s team has a large lineup, after experiencing Christmas, winter break and multi-line operations in February, its form has obviously declined in March.

And before this round, they played a Champions League round of 16 knockout match.

Arsenal didn’t play well in this game either.

In the home game against Newcastle, we conceded a goal after 14 minutes.

One minute later, Van Persie equalized the score.

But it was not until the 95th minute that Koscielny scored a header to win the Gunners the precious three points.

After the game, the British media shouted in unison: Anything produced by Yang Cheng must be of high quality, and the value of this brand has been increased again!
Liverpool also lost this round.

Lost 0-1 to Sunderland away.

Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at home thanks to Rooney’s double.

Chelsea beat Stoke City 1-0 at home thanks to Drogba’s goal.

……

After 28 rounds, the team had a week of rest.

But then, the Chinese in Bayswater will face a very devilish schedule.

Due to the FA Cup quarter-finals, the home game against Bolton in round 8 was postponed to mid-week.

This weekend, they will face their opponent in the 30th round, away to Norwich.

After 30 rounds, they will travel to Bayern Munich to face off in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

This weekend is the 31st round of the Premier League, and we will play Manchester United at home.

After that, it was the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, playing against Bayern at home.

After playing against Bayern, we will play Stoke City away.

With two games in a row in one week, and the opponents are either strong teams or relegation teams, you can imagine how much pressure the game is.

Therefore, during this week’s rest period, Yang Cheng only gave the players one day off.

The rest of the time is basically spent on adjustment and preparation.

Yang Cheng asked all the players to pay 12 points of attention during the next period of time.

“Wenger told me a while ago that he has a lot of experience.”

“What experience?”

“The experience of collapse!”

“The experience of the crash in March and April every year!”

At the team’s internal meeting, Yang Cheng didn’t mind modifying Wenger’s original words and using them as a negative example.

“Anyone who knows Arsenal well knows that they often act aggressively at the start, but then they are finished in March or April.”

“We are now advancing on three fronts simultaneously, and I believe we have the strength to fight on all three fronts simultaneously.”

“But the prerequisite is that I need each of you to stay absolutely focused and devote yourself to the game and training without distraction!”

“I need every one of you to fight for the Triple Crown!”

The players responded enthusiastically.

Obviously, they are also eager for the team’s future prospects, especially the Champions League that they missed for two consecutive seasons.

A week later at Goodison Park, Yang Cheng’s team encountered a tenacious attack from Moyes’ Everton.

In this FA Cup quarter-final knockout match, Moyes’ team took advantage of their home advantage and launched a wave of attacks at the start, hoping to seize the initiative in the game.

In the 24th minute, during a set-piece attack in the frontcourt, Tim Cahill scored the first goal for Everton with a header, 1-0!

Then the game fell into a stalemate.

Everton began to defend tightly.

Moyes adopted a 451 formation, and it was not a 4231 formation, but more like a 4411.

The two flanks in the midfield were pulled back and the overall formation remained very compact.

The Chinese in Bayswater were constantly looking for opportunities and patiently planning their attacks.

It was not until the 62nd minute of the second half that Giroud made a wonderful pass, Hazard dribbled past two opposing defenders and shot in the middle of the penalty area, breaking Everton’s goal.

1 is better than 1!

After equalizing the score, Yang Cheng continued to wait for the opportunity.

In the 75th minute, he first replaced Di Maria with Walcott.

Then in the 81st minute, Hazard was replaced by Gareth Bale.

This substitution took only 3 minutes to produce miraculous results.

Pogba passed the ball to Gareth Bale, who dribbled past Phil Neville on the left and made a cross in front of the goal.

Giroud jumped high between the two central defenders Distin and Heitinga, headed the ball into Everton’s goal.

2 is better than 1!

Bayswater Chinese completed a reversal!

Moyes then replaced two offensive players in a row to increase the offensive intensity in the frontcourt.

But at this time, the Chinese in Bayswater did not retreat timidly, but responded with a tit-for-tat blow.

Even Gareth Bale almost assisted Walcott to score, which scared Everton so much that they had to retreat.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Everton 2-1 away and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Three other teams also advanced to the semi-finals: Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

The opponent of Bayswater Chinese in the semi-final is Liverpool.

And it’s an away game.

……

In the middle of the week, in the 29th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Bolton at home.

Bolton is still fighting for relegation, so this game was very fierce.

Throughout the first half, the two sides were tied 0-0.

Bolton’s performance was extremely tenacious. Everyone ran at full speed and pressed hard, causing great trouble to the home team Bayswater Chinese.

But in the 53rd minute of the second half, Lewandowski assisted Walcott to score a goal, opening the scoring for the Bayswater Chinese.

In the 80th minute, former Real Madrid player Marcos Alonso used his left foot to hit a wonderful arc ball from a free kick in the middle of the frontcourt, which almost went into the left side of the goal.

But at the critical moment, Courtois made a desperate save and blocked the ball out of the goal with one hand, keeping the goal safe.

The Belgian goalkeeper’s wonderful save won him warm applause and cheers from the entire Wembley Stadium.

So far this season, Bayswater Chinese have conceded only 28 goals in 7 league games, and their defense is as solid as a rock.

It is not easy for any team to break through the goal of Bayswater Chinese.

Courtois has kept 21 clean sheets.

In other words, we are not far from the record of 04 clean sheets set by Cech in the 05/24 season.

Because of this, Courtois performed extremely well.

In the 88th minute, Gareth Bale scored again and helped the team break through Bolton’s goal again.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Bolton 2-0 at home and successfully won 3 points.

It was also in this round that Chelsea defeated Aston Villa 4-2 away.

Manchester City beat Sunderland 3-1 at home.

Arsenal defeated Queens Park Rangers 2-1 away from home.

Manchester United beat Blackburn 2-0 away.

Liverpool beat Newcastle 2-0 away from home.

……

Due to the make-up matches played in the middle of the week, teams such as Bayswater Chinese, Liverpool and Chelsea will start the 30th round of the Premier League at the weekend one day later than other teams.

Obviously, since the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will be held in three days, teams including Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and others have made rotations.

Arsenal played at home and beat Aston Villa 3-0 with goals from Clichy, Sanchez and Arteta.

Wenger’s team made some rotations but still performed extremely well at home.

Manchester City almost suffered a setback and drew 1-1 with Stoke City away from home.

Stoke City are fighting to avoid relegation, while the Blues are trying to keep the pressure on Bayswater Chinese.

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

As a result, Crouch scored the first goal for Stoke City in the second half.

It wasn’t until the 86th minute that Yaya Toure’s goal equalized the score for Manchester City.

After that, the Blue Moon failed to score again.

The two sides shook hands and made peace with the score at 1:1.

This also made Ancelotti very dissatisfied after the game.

Manchester United beat Fulham 1-0 at home.

Arrived the next day.

Chelsea drew 0-0 with Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Liverpool lost 1-2 to Wigan Athletic at home after rotation.

The Reds conceded a penalty in the first half, but Suarez equalized the score two minutes into the second half.

But in the 93rd minute, the Reds conceded another goal.

It may be because Manchester City drew one and lost one in the last three games, which caused the originally tense players of Bayswater Chinese to relax a little.

In this round of away game against newly promoted Norwich, Yang Cheng lost 0-1 despite a major rotation of players.

This was Bayswater Chinese’s first defeat in the Premier League since April 2011.

The league’s unbeaten streak ended at 33 rounds!
Originally in the 27th minute of the first half, Yang Cheng’s team had taken the lead thanks to Aaron Ramsey’s goal.

But it was blown off by the referee.

Clattenburg believes Kompany committed a foul when he tackled forward Jose Mourinho before Aaron Ramsey shot.

The Belgian defender protested to Clattenburg and was shown a yellow card.

After that, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

In the 46th minute of the first half, Kompany made an uncalm pulling move when defending Hott.

The Norwich striker fell directly into the penalty area.

Clattenburg showed another yellow card, sent Kompany off with a red card and gave Norwich a penalty.

Holt scored in one fell swoop and opened the scoring for Norwich.

In the second half, the Chinese players in Bayswater finally perked up and started to exert their strength.

But with one man missing and the opponent defending tightly, they were unable to score.

In the end, they conceded a goal and lost 0-1 away from home!

Before the Champions League quarter-finals, Bayswater Chinese suffered their first league defeat of the season!
