Chapter 246: Champions League semi-final curse! Shut up, Jose! Ronaldo’s best partner! [Subscribe]

When the referee Howard Webb blew the whistle to end the game, Wembley Stadium was filled with roar.

2 is better than 1!

This is the final score shown on the scoreboard after the clock stops.

Although Liverpool scored a goal in the second half by Torres, who came on as a substitute, they still lost 1-2 to Bayswater Chinese at home.

Reds fans have every reason to be unhappy with this result.

Because in the second half, their team obviously played better and more outstandingly.

There was even a chance to equalize the score.

But thanks to Courtois’ outstanding performance and the tenacious defense of the team’s back line, Bayswater Chinese managed to maintain the score of 2-1 until the end of the game.

Liverpool fans boo Bayswater Chinese!
“In fact, we can all understand Yang Cheng’s several substitutions in the second half.”

“It was a bit of a risk, but he had a lot of confidence in his players.”

“And the Bayswater Chinese players did manage to hold on to the score.”

Sky Sports, which broadcast the game live, also expressed normality about the result, but expressed some sympathy for Liverpool.

“In the second half, Yang Cheng made three substitutions in a row, all of which were substitutes for the main players, including Modric, Lewandowski and others. This is obviously in preparation for the Champions League next Wednesday.”

“The schedule for Bayswater Chinese has been very stressful recently, as they have to play five strong matches in a row.”

“Yang Cheng chose this rotation method because he hopes the team can be in better shape to face Real Madrid next Wednesday, which is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, at home!”

The Sky Sports commentator believed that Yang Cheng’s continuous substitutions early on, and Liverpool’s substitutions of Torres, Rakitic and others in the second half, led to a reversal of the game situation.

Liverpool began to seize the initiative, while the Bayswater Chinese adopted a defensive counterattack strategy.

Judging from the results, Yang Cheng basically achieved his pre-match tactical goals.

Bayswater Chinese qualified for the FA Cup final without any trouble.

At the same time, players including Modric and Lewandowski got enough rest time.

“Liverpool fans certainly have reason to be unhappy with what happened to them in the game, but we must also see that both sides played well in the first half, and the Chinese in Bayswater were clearly better at seizing opportunities.”

“Also, it is worth noting that throughout the game, Suarez was closely marked by the Bayswater Chinese and did not get any good chances.”

The game is over.

Bayswater Chinese players celebrated their team’s advancement on the sidelines.

Liverpool players walked off the field one by one with depressed looks on their faces.

Although this is not Anfield, half of the people here are Liverpool fans.

They followed the team south to London specifically in the hope of seeing the team advance to the finals.

But now, what they reaped was a defeat.

Since they were at Wembley Stadium, although Yang Cheng was on the “visiting team”, he still took the initiative to walk up to Mancini in front of the home team’s coaching bench and shook hands with the Italian.

“Your defense is too strong!” Mancini smiled bitterly with helplessness.

Yang Cheng didn’t refute.

The two goals in the first half were important in winning the game, but the defense in the second half was equally crucial.

“If you encounter a schedule like ours, you can give it a try and see if you can hold on!” Yang Cheng said calmly.

This immediately left Mancini speechless.

Everyone saw that the Chinese in Bayswater were fighting on three fronts, but they also saw how much pressure they were under.

It’s not just the pressure from opponents, but also the pressure from oneself.

“Then you must work hard!” Mancini said.

“Thank you.” Yang Cheng looked confident. “We Chinese have a saying, ‘Things never happen more than three times.'”

“We have been eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive seasons. We must make it through this season no matter what.”

“Otherwise, the media will probably say that we have a semi-final curse.”

After saying this, Yang Cheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Mancini also laughed a few times, but he could not hide the envy in his eyes.

Champions League semi-final curse?
If possible, could you give us one too?
But he also had to admit that the Chinese in Bayswater were indeed strong.

Even though the players were distracted by fighting on three fronts and were broken up and rotated, they were still able to play in this state.

If you focus your whole heart on one front, who can stop you?

“Good luck to you then, Yang!”

Mancini extended his hand again, shook hands with Yang Cheng, and then turned and walked towards his players.

……

Bayswater Chinese beat Liverpool 2-1 on the “away” game!
It was spread immediately after the game.

Media all over the world reported on it, and football fans were happy and excited about the performance of the Bayswater Chinese.

We are really aiming for the Triple Crown!
Yang Cheng remained low-key in the post-match press conference, saying that the Chinese at Bayswater are not considering the treble right now, they just want to be down-to-earth and focus on playing every game well.

But a media reporter asked, Yang Cheng had already shouted the slogan of the Treble in the locker room.

In response, Yang Cheng smiled and said, “It’s no secret. Before every season, I tell my players that we want to win all the championships.”

“I believe that it’s not just us, but all the big clubs in Europe are basically like this, right?”

But the prospects for the Chinese in Bayswater are clearly not so bright.

Especially on the day after defeating Liverpool, Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 away at Wembley Stadium.

This was a shocking massacre!

No one expected that the game would turn out like this.

Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd went to the scene to watch the game.

In the first 40 minutes or so, the two teams actually played evenly.

But the turning point of the game came when Drogba scored a free kick near the end of the first half.

After the second half, just 3 minutes into the game, Terry assisted Eto’o to score another goal from a corner kick.

But even so, in the subsequent games, the two teams were still evenly matched and there were not many changes on the scene.

The second turning point of the game occurred in the 75th minute.

When the team was two goals behind, Redknapp gave up the midfield, took off Van der Vaart and replaced him with Defoe, hoping to strengthen the team’s frontcourt attack.

But in the end, two minutes after Defoe came on the pitch, Ramires and Lampard scored goals respectively.

The loss of momentum in the midfield caused Tottenham’s defense to collapse.

At the last minute of the game, Malouda, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal.

The score of 5-0 seems to be really big.

But when the game really started, it was easy to find that for most of the time, the two teams played in a stalemate.

The real blame lies with Drogba’s crucial goal in the first half.

Redknapp’s substitution is also questionable.

But judging from the game itself, it has been 75 minutes, and if we don’t give it a try, we will definitely be scolded again.

So, that’s how the game is sometimes.

But after Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 5-, the Blues’ popularity suddenly soared.

Especially in the Europa League, the Blues have been unstoppable and have reached the semi-finals.

Now we are facing Athletic Bilbao from La Liga.

By the way, La Liga has performed very strongly this season.

Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Athletic Bilbao have all reached the Europa League semi-finals.

The remaining team is Chelsea.

Therefore, the media described it as La Liga besieging the Premier League.

In the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two giants of the Spanish Super League, faced off against Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City.

The confrontation between La Liga and the Premier League has intensified.

This also allows everyone to see the progress of La Liga.

Especially after the strong rise of Real Madrid, La Liga is showing a trend of winning the two heavyweight championships of the Champions League and the Europa League.

Spanish media have also begun to hype up and question the Premier League’s position as the world’s top league.

Based on the performances of the Premier League teams in the Champions League and Europa League, especially against La Liga teams, do they deserve the status of the world’s number one league?
Now La Liga is truly the best in the world!

If you want superstars, you will have superstars; if you want top clubs, you will have top clubs; if you want results, you will have results to show for it.

What else is there to say about the Premier League?

Marca also believes that it is basically a foregone conclusion that Bayswater Chinese will surpass Real Madrid in terms of revenue this season.

“But we have every reason to believe that this situation is only temporary.”

“Real Madrid will quickly adjust and regroup.”

“Just like Mourinho’s team achieved a huge breakthrough in the Champions League this season.”

“And in the upcoming Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid will prove it at Wembley Stadium!”

……

In the league match on April 4, the situation in the Premier League changed again.

Manchester City beat Norwich 6-1 away!
According to the media, this is Manchester City declaring war on the Chinese in Bayswater!

Ancelotti’s team had a rare outburst at the critical moment, which was the most difficult period of the Bayswater Chinese schedule.

The two Argentines performed extremely well, Tevez scored a hat-trick and had an assist, while Aguero scored twice.

It can be said that this is Manchester City’s best performance so far this season.

The offense was very exciting and the defense also performed very well.

More importantly, Ancelotti actually made some rotations in preparation for the Champions League semi-final next Wednesday.

Manchester City’s opponent is Barcelona.

Manchester United beat Aston Villa 4-0 at home, with Rooney scoring twice.

This was another big win.

Both Manchester giants won wonderful victories, only Arsenal lost 1-2 to Wigan Athletic at home.

The unfortunate Gunners suffered repeated setbacks after encountering strong opponents one after another, and the team’s morale was obviously affected.

The matches between Bayswater Chinese, Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool were forced to be postponed to May due to the FA Cup semi-finals.

In Spain, Real Madrid defeated Sporting Gijon 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Barcelona defeated Levante 2-1 away from home.

After 34 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid leads the standings with 88 points, followed closely by Barcelona with 84 points.

With four rounds left in La Liga, Real Madrid is four points ahead of Barcelona.

But the key issue is that in the 35th round of the league, Real Madrid will visit Camp Nou and challenge Barcelona.

Everyone knows that as long as Real Madrid can win the away game safely, the La Liga championship this season will basically belong to Real Madrid.

But if they fail at Camp Nou, the championship will still be in suspense.

The 35th round of the game is right between the two Champions League semi-finals.

This is very similar to the Chinese in Bayswater.

Because in the 35th round of the Premier League, Yang Cheng’s team will also face Manchester City at home.

This will also be a crucial battle to determine who will win the Premier League title.

But what is more difficult than Real Madrid is that the Chinese in Bayswater have already played two consecutive strong matches against Arsenal and Liverpool.

This also led Mourinho to publicly comment on Yang Cheng at the post-match press conference after the team beat Sporting Gijon 3-1 at home.

The Portuguese madman believed that he knew Yang Cheng very well.

“He’s a very smart guy and he knows how he won so many games and championships.”

“At the same time, he must be very aware that Real Madrid is now completely different from the past.”

Regarding the upcoming Champions League semi-final, Mourinho said that Real Madrid has made all preparations.

“I’m not afraid of failure because the only thing we’ve lost so far this season is the Copa del Rey, but we’ve won it before, so we’re more focused on La Liga and the Champions League this season.”

In the past few years, the results of the matches between Bayswater Chinese and Real Madrid have been almost one-sided.

The same was true during Mourinho’s coaching period.

As a result, Yang Cheng became the most unpopular person in the Bernabeu.

But Mourinho said, “The past results are already history. They have no meaning for the next game, and they have little reference value, and they will not even have any effect.”

“Whether it’s statistics or historical match results, for us, they are just a part of the past history.”

“All teams participating in the Champions League semi-finals have only one goal, and that is to win!”

Regarding the media reports that Yang Cheng was eliminated in the semi-finals for two consecutive seasons and aimed to win the Champions League this season, Mourinho smiled and said, “The last time we won the Champions League was in 2002, and it has been 10 years since then.”

“In the past 10 years, all Real Madrid fans have been eager for the Champions League and the players are full of motivation.”

Mourinho said that the Champions League has a very special meaning for Real Madrid.

Therefore, Real Madrid attaches great importance to the Champions League.

“You say that the Chinese in Bayswater are motivated, but I want to say that their motivation is far less than that of us in Real Madrid!”

Mourinho gave a good evaluation of the Bayswater Chinese, but he insisted that Real Madrid will win away from home.

“Both of our teams attach great importance to tactics, but I believe that it will be a very exciting game!”

Mourinho refused to mention his starting lineup.

……

The Portuguese madman opened fire first in Spain, quickly drawing the attention of the world’s media and fans to the upcoming Champions League semi-final, focusing on Wembley Stadium in London.

The British media also responded one after another, believing that Mourinho’s remarks were still as arrogant as ever.

But no one dares to ignore Mourinho and Real Madrid!

On the afternoon before the Champions League final, after the training session, Yang Cheng received the news that Real Madrid was leaving from Madrid.

At the pre-match press conference, Yang Cheng announced the 18-man roster for the match.

When answering questions from media reporters, Yang Cheng responded to Mourinho’s previous attack.

“Tomorrow, when I see him at Wembley, what I want to tell him most is, shut up, Jose, you’re too noisy!”

After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He has always had a good relationship with Mourinho.

They had a lot of verbal fights, but they were still close friends.

“Sometimes, his many outrageous remarks made me feel that he was not the Mourinho I knew at all.”

“I hope that one day he can win a championship steadily and peacefully!”

“Of course, he is a very good coach, but apart from Porto, he has not been able to win the Champions League again to prove his coaching level.”

Yang Cheng even fought back.

“If there is a Champions League outside the stadium, then I believe he will definitely be the champion, and I will sincerely wish him well and let him enjoy it, because in the field of public opinion, he has always been a favorite, and I have no interest in competing with him.”

“The only thing I have in common with Mourinho is that we both want to succeed.”

“The biggest difference is that I succeeded and he didn’t!”

The media reporters at the scene also applauded.

When it comes to talking, the Premier League head coaches are truly the best.

Not to mention Ferguson and Wenger, Mourinho also made his way through the Premier League.

Head coach Yang Cheng looks gentle and polite on weekdays, but when it comes to verbal battles, he can be very ruthless.

Everyone can imagine how good Mourinho’s expression must have been when he heard the words “I succeeded, he didn’t”!

However, Mourinho is obviously not a pushover either.

If this guy doesn’t cause any trouble, is he still Mourinho?

When the Real Madrid team landed in London and the media reporters from Fleet Street ran to greet them, everyone saw a different Mourinho.

……

On the evening of May 4, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese will face Real Madrid at home.

When the famous German referee Dr. Felix Blich led the two teams out of the stadium one after another, Yang Cheng also met Real Madrid’s head coach Mourinho in the player tunnel.

As soon as they met, Yang Cheng was a little surprised.

“What’s wrong with you?” Yang Cheng pointed at Mourinho’s head and asked in surprise.

I saw that Mourinho had a new hairstyle tonight, a very short buzz cut, which made him look more energetic, more cheerful, and more neat and tidy.

But this is completely different from the Mourinho that Yang Cheng is familiar with.

“Are you surprised? This is one of my secret weapons!” Mourinho laughed.

Yang Cheng was speechless.

Do you really think you are Sun Wukong?
Can the cut hair be turned into Sun Wukong?
“In order to win this game, I even cut my hair, which has been with me for so many years.”

Yang Cheng snorted twice, “If cutting my hair can help me win the game, I’ll cut my hair every day.”

“I’m expressing my determination.”

“I believe you have determination, but that’s all you have left!”

“Bullshit!” Mourinho couldn’t help it after all. “I’m telling you, don’t even think about leaving this stadium tonight!”

Yang Cheng curled his lips, “Then I’ll wait!”

When the two walked out of the player tunnel, they shook hands again and then returned to their respective coaches’ seats.

……

Both teams take this game very seriously.

After a series of rotations, Yang Cheng sent all his main forces into battle.

Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Pepe, Kompany and Piszczek;

Midfield: Matic deep, Toni Kroos and Modric;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Di Maria.

Central defender Thiago Silva missed the game due to suspension due to accumulated yellow cards.

Real Madrid has a complete team and an impressive lineup.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defense: Coentrao, Ramos, Bruno Alves and Arbeloa;
Midfield: Xabi Alonso and Khedira form a double defensive midfielder, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut and Callejon in front;
Forward: Dzeko.

If there is one obvious weakness in Real Madrid’s current lineup, it is the right winger.

So in the past season, it was either Higuain or Callejon, and even the dead fish eyed Mesut would occasionally play this position. The main feature was flexibility.

Both teams played with their full main lineups and adopted the tactics they are best at.

Therefore, after the game started, both sides were still relatively cautious.

But just 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, the Bayswater Chinese launched an attack on the right.

Piszczek suddenly made a quick run from the wing, dribbled the ball down the wing and made a cross, but the ball was blocked by Bruno Alves.

The Polish defender grabbed the ball inside the penalty area and immediately passed it back.

After Di Maria stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, he cut inside with the ball horizontally and shot with his left foot. He wanted to hit a curve ball, but when it went to the far corner, he was blocked by Xabi Alonso who returned to defense in time.

Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack, trying to pass the ball directly to the dead fish eyed Mesut.

As a result, Matic was tall and had long legs, so he got the ball to Toni Kroos first.

The German midfielder made a straight pass and accurately delivered it to Lewandowski at the top of the arc.

The Polish striker stopped the ball and broke into the penalty area. Despite the interference of Ramos, he shot.

Casillas tipped the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

The entire Wembley Stadium was filled with cheers from the home team’s fans.

Subsequently, Bayswater Chinese’s corner kick failed to pose a threat.

But after the Chinese in Bayswater took the lead, the game situation gradually opened up.

Especially the Bayswater Chinese who played at home.

Yang Cheng has been paying attention to Mourinho’s every move and Real Madrid’s movements on the field.

Especially in Bayswater, the Chinese took advantage of the opening opportunity and continuously organized and planned offensives. Although they failed to create absolute opportunities, they also repeatedly created dangerous situations.

After playing for 10 minutes, Yang Cheng was basically certain that Mourinho’s tactics were still to defend and counterattack.

Despite all the hype before the game, Mourinho is essentially still good at defensive counterattacks.

Therefore, the right side took away Maicon, whose condition had obviously declined and it was difficult for him to come back after going up.

Maicon is now a defensive risk.

Choose the more solid Arbeloa instead.

The double defensive midfielder combination of Xabi Alonso and Khedira was adopted, and Las Diarra was replaced, probably because Las Diarra had the problem of being too sticky to the ball.

In recent years, as Las Diarra has been highly valued in Real Madrid, this problem of his has been constantly exposed.

By the 10th minute, Yang Cheng had already noticed Real Madrid’s game strategy.

At the same time, he quickly gave a countermeasure.

Use the right side to attack Real Madrid’s left side.

That is the Coentrao side.

Arbeloa’s defensive ability is obvious to all, but Coentrao’s defense is not very reassuring.

The most important thing is that Ronaldo basically does not participate in defense.

Since Florentino came to power in 2000 and built a galaxy battleship for Real Madrid, Real Madrid has always had a common problem, except for the three years when Calderon was in charge.

Many people say that it is strong in offense and weak in defense.

But Yang Cheng thinks that it’s mainly the superstar strategy!
As the name suggests, the so-called superstar strategy is to create some superstars with super commercial value.

To achieve this, the value of superstars must be highlighted.

When arranging the troops, we must highlight the status of the superstars as much as possible.

That is to allow superstars to shine to the maximum in the game.

The most obvious is the number of goals scored.

In La Liga, Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona’s Messi have been taking turns to score goals, which is the best proof.

Because the whole team has put in their efforts to make these two superstars.

Of course, there is no intention to belittle Ronaldo and Messi here.

It is precisely because they are strong enough that Real Madrid and Barcelona are willing to do this.

But what comes with it is that these two superstars are clearly special in the tactical system.

For example, in Real Madrid, Ronaldo basically does not participate in defense.

In this situation, Coentrao on the left could easily find himself fighting alone.

The strategy given by Yang Cheng is that both Modric and Piszczek should press forward actively.

As for his left side, Gareth Bale and Marcelo, Yang Cheng has absolute confidence that they are enough to suppress Arbeloa and Callejon on Real Madrid’s right side.

Therefore, after Yang Cheng saw the clues, he immediately deployed heavy troops on the right side.

In the 15th minute, Modric and Piszczek made a one-two combination on the right side of the frontcourt and then passed the ball to Di Maria.

The Argentine dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area, stopped suddenly, dribbled past Ramos, and then fired a long shot with his left foot.

The ball slipped slightly out of the goal.

This caused the fans at the scene to exclaim in surprise.

This was followed by a burst of warm applause.

But the cost is also obvious.

Real Madrid, which had been suppressed since the opening, quickly launched a counterattack.

Xabi Alonso passed the ball, and the dead-eye Mesut made a straight pass. Ronaldo quickly attacked along the left rib. After receiving the ball, facing Pepe’s defense, he first made a fake move, then skillfully used bicycle kick to pass Pepe and dribbled the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area.

Pepe desperately chased back to the inside of Ronaldo, blocking him on the left side of the penalty area and blocking his shooting angle.

Ronaldo’s shot was firmly caught by Courtois in his arms.

This was Real Madrid’s first shot of the game, occurring in the 18th minute.

And then, the game basically went this way.

Both the left side of Bayswater Chinese and the right side of Real Madrid seemed a bit dull.

Both sides fought on the right flank of the Chinese in Bayswater and both sides committed sufficient troops.

The Chinese in Bayswater still adopted the passing and cutting tactics, while Real Madrid mainly relied on counterattacks.

In the 21st minute, Real Madrid’s quick counterattack caused Modric to foul on the left side outside the Bayswater Chinese penalty area.

The home team captain pulled down Ronaldo when returning to defense, giving the opponent a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

This is also the area that Ronaldo likes very much, the area for direct free kicks.

“The Chinese in Bayswater are very cautious.”

“Modric’s foul was not in a good position.”

“Look at Ronaldo’s penalty this time.”

“It was still a direct free kick, a signature elevator ball!”

“The ball was very fast, but we couldn’t control the momentum of the ball.”

“This elevator shot went straight to the top floor and was much higher than the goal.”

“We saw Yang Cheng making adjustments on the sidelines, constantly making various gestures. I guess only the Bayswater Chinese players knew what their head coach meant.”

“Real Madrid’s last two or three counterattacks were quite threatening. Yang Cheng probably felt the pressure.”

……

Yang Cheng’s shouts and gestures were actually not that complicated.

He was telling his players not to always play on the right.

The opening tactic was to attack the right side, which was intended to hit the opponent’s weak point.

But now, Real Madrid has become alert. Isn’t it ridiculous to still keep attacking the right side?
What should we do?

Change direction and try to hit the left side first.

See if we can open a breakthrough from the left.

If that doesn’t work, turn back to the right.

Don’t forget, the Bayswater Chinese have a top passer like Toni Kroos.

After being reminded by Yang Cheng, the players on the court quickly began to adjust their offensive direction.

This is the benefit of controlling the midfield and the ball.

When reorganizing the attack, the Bayswater Chinese midfielder began to look for the left side.

Piszczek began to retreat, stabilize the defense and confuse the opponent.

Marcelo began to move forward actively and teamed up with Gareth Bale to attack Real Madrid’s Arbeloa side.

The most threatening attack occurred in the 24th minute.

After a two-pass combination on the left, Gareth Bale broke into the left side of the penalty area and made a cross into the penalty area.

As a result, Casillas attacked and almost collided with Ramos.

The ball was also confiscated by the Real Madrid goalkeeper.

Real Madrid also noticed the adjustments made by the Chinese in Bayswater and adjusted their defensive focus accordingly.

In the 27th minute, when Marcelo passed the ball forward to Gareth Bale who was retreating to receive the ball, he quickly moved forward.

Callejon followed Marcelo all the way, sticking to the inside, making it impossible for Gareth Bale to pass the ball when he retreated.

Arbeloa stayed close to the Welshman, preventing him from turning around.

As a last resort, Gareth Bale was forced to pass the ball back to Toni Kroos.

The German midfielder received the ball in an unguarded position at the 30-meter edge.

He stopped, adjusted, and sent a horizontal half-high pass with his right foot.

The football passed from the middle of Real Madrid’s defense to Di Maria’s feet at the junction of the right rib and the right side.

When the ball landed, the Argentine kicked it forward.

At this time, Real Madrid’s entire defensive focus was on the left side.

Coentrao ran over immediately.

But Di Maria did not go in a straight line. Instead, he took the ball diagonally and rushed towards the right side of the top arc of Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso also chased back desperately, trying to work together with Coentrao to block Di Maria and prevent the Argentine from cutting inside.

But when Di Maria rushed to the right side of the Real Madrid penalty area with the ball, he feinted and did not kick the ball or pass it forward, but instead sent a horizontal pass with his left foot.

Then Piszczek, who had been running forward, rushed over, stopped the ball towards the bottom line, then accelerated and chased after him, kicking the ball with his right foot to the front point.

The connection between the two Poles has always been the forte of the Chinese in Bayswater and is also a very important offensive line.

When Piszczek dribbled the ball to the bottom line, Lewandowski had already started to prepare.

He rushed directly to the front point and went straight towards Ramos.

Because he knew that his high balls had an advantage over Ramos.

To deal with the tall and burly Bruno Alves, it is necessary to compete in technique and flexibility.

When fighting Ramos, the best way is to use simple, direct and rough high balls!

Piszczek noticed Lewandowski’s movement and gestures, and made a high cross.

The Polish center forward quickly moved forward and jumped at the same time as Ramos on the right side of the small penalty area.

But Ramos missed the target.

Lewandowski met the incoming ball and headed the ball directly into the goal.

The ball turned in one direction and went straight to the left side of the goal.

Casillas’s position was close to the outside of the right post.

Facing Lewandowski’s header, the Real Madrid goalkeeper tried his best to dive to the side, but after all, he was too short and his arms were too short, so he couldn’t stop it at all.

The ball hit the net.

“The ball went in!!!”

“Lewandowski’s header!”

“Another offensive connection between two Polish internationals!”

“In the 27th minute, the Chinese from Bayswater took the lead in breaking through the Real Madrid goal.”

“1 to 0!”

After Lewandowski scored the goal, he rushed out of the court excitedly and slid to his knees on the sidelines.

At this moment, the entire Wembley Stadium turned into a sea of ​​celebration.

The cheers of 9 fans poured down from the stands and swept across the entire stadium.

Yang Cheng also clenched his right fist tightly on the sidelines and swung it with all his strength.

This is the tactical effect he wanted!
Faced with such a style of play, it is very difficult for the opponent to defend.

In fact, most teams can’t defend it at all.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the Chinese in Bayswater cooperate well themselves.

……

This wonderful goal did not dampen Real Madrid’s morale.

Mourinho roared angrily on the sidelines, but soon began to encourage his players.

The Real Madrid players on the field began to exert their strength, their movements became more intense, and the intensity of their pressing and oppression also increased.

Especially when the ball entered Real Madrid’s half.

Just three minutes later, Bayswater Chinese attacked from the left again, attracted the attention of the defense, and passed the ball back to Toni Kroos.

But this time, the German midfielder passed the ball to Modric.

The Croatian midfielder made one of his most iconic moves.

When everyone thought he would pass the ball to Di Maria, he suddenly passed the ball with his left foot to Lewandowski on the left side of the arc.

Gareth Bale’s retreat stretched the defenders.

Lewandowski stopped the ball sideways and dribbled into the left side of Real Madrid’s penalty area.

But this time Ramos defended very well, using his body to hold Lewandowski back, forcing the Pole to volley the ball with his left foot, but the shot went high.

In just 4 minutes, threats were created continuously.

The most important thing is the changes brought about in the midfield after Yang Cheng took on the spot command.

Playing on the left side, with both real and fake moves, made it very difficult for Real Madrid’s defenders.

They had no idea which side the Chinese in Bayswater would attack next.
Under this fear of the unknown, and the fact that Real Madrid is good at defensive counterattacks, when the Chinese in Bayswater began to increase their offensive efforts, the Galacticos began to choose a stable defense.

But in the 39th minute, Marcelo received the ball on the left side of Real Madrid’s 30-meter area. Facing the joint blockade of Callejon and Arbeloa, the Brazilian dribbled skillfully, controlled the ball and brought it out from between the two defensive players, and quickly passed the ball to Toni Kroos.

Toni Kroos passed the ball low to the right.

Di Maria stopped the ball with his left foot, walked inside in the opposite direction, avoided Coentrao, cut inside a step, and passed the ball back to Modric with his left foot.

The Croatian player stopped the ball with the inside of his right foot and moved it forward to the left, attracting Xabi Alonso’s attention. He suddenly stopped, dribbled the ball skillfully with his left foot, turned around, and then sent a diagonal pass with the outside of his right foot.

Instead of looking for Di Maria, the ball was passed to the right side outside the penalty area.

It’s Piszczek again!

The Polish defender made a high-speed run forward, caught up with Modric’s outside-foot pass, and without stopping, glanced at the penalty area.

Lewandowski once again advanced to the front of the small penalty area at the fastest speed.

It looked like he was going to recreate the previous goal.

Ramos and Bruno Alves were both attracted by Lewandowski, flanking the Polish center on both sides and moving forward.

But Piszczek sent a high cross with his right foot, which did not go to the front point to find Lewandowski, but fell to the back point on the left side of the small penalty area.

While all the Real Madrid defenders were stunned, they saw a figure in a red jersey, like a flash of lightning, sprinting from the left corner of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed.

Facing the cross from Piszczek, he volleyed the ball with his left foot.

This shot, which almost filled all of Gareth Bale’s strength, shot the ball fiercely into Real Madrid’s goal.

“The ball goes in again!!!”

“2 to 0!”

“39th minute!”

“A close range volley from Gareth Bale!”

“The Bayswater Chinese played a very exciting offensive combination!”

“Another assist from Piszczek!”

“My God, this offensive coordination was so beautiful!”

“In the 39th minute of the first half, Gareth Bale scored the second goal of the game!”

“The Bayswater Chinese were really active in attacking from both flanks.”

“Both goals came from Piszczek’s crosses from the right.”

“The Polish defender is getting better and better.”

“But at the same time, we also have to see that Coentrao’s performance in this game was indeed very average, especially in the defense against the Bayswater Chinese on the right.”

……

When the Chinese players from Bayswater scored two goals in a row, everyone thought the game was over.

But no one expected that before the end of the first half.

As the Chinese in Bayswater continued to plan attacks and exert pressure, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack.

Xabi Alonso’s half-high cross from the backcourt found Dzeko in the frontcourt.

Dzeko moved to the right side of the frontcourt and received the ball after blocking Pepe with his body.

Without waiting for the ball to land, Dzeko made a horizontal pass to Mesut, who was running behind.

The German stopped, passed the ball again, and it returned to Dzeko who had turned successfully.

The Bosnian center forward stopped the ball, dribbled past Pepe, and then made an accurate diagonal pass with his left foot.

This was a beautiful pass.

Kompany kept chasing back, but the ball was passed right behind him to the left side of the penalty area.

As soon as Ronaldo stopped the ball, he avoided Kompany who was turning around and shot with his left foot.

No matter how hard Courtois tried to save the ball, the shot still went straight to the right side of the goal.

1 is better than 2!

Ronaldo turned around and rushed out of the court excitedly.

“A valuable away goal!”

“A quick counter attack from Real Madrid!”

“Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid played a very exciting counterattack.”

“The wall play between Dzeko and Mesut, and the wonderful diagonal pass at the end.”

“I have to admit that Dzeko is indeed the best center forward to pair with Ronaldo. The two of them are getting better and better at working together.”

“C Ronaldo also seized this great opportunity at the critical moment and kept hope for Real Madrid!”

The moment Mourinho saw Ronaldo score a goal, he was so excited that he knelt down in the coaching area and cheered with all his might.

This is a valuable away goal!

Yang Cheng looked at Mourinho with disdain and shook his head.

Although we are still ahead in the score, there is still a huge difference between 2-1 and 2-0.

Especially for the Champions League knockout stage.

But to be honest, Yang Cheng really couldn’t blame his players.

Real Madrid’s counterattack was really sharp!

In the situation just now, neither Piszczek nor Marcelo were able to defend in time.

Because they had all pressed forward to participate in the attack in the frontcourt just a moment ago.

But in this case, the defense line will definitely be relatively weak.

It just so happens that Real Madrid’s frontcourt is full of superstars with superb individual abilities, and once they catch a glimmer of murderous intent, they can immediately turn it into a goal.

Want to stop Real Madrid from counterattacking?

It’s very simple, just tell the full-backs not to press forward and let them all retreat.

Although Piszczek changed to a defensive player midway through the game, his defensive ability and physical confrontation are still very outstanding.

It’s actually not a big problem to defend Ronaldo alone.

When playing against Bayern before, he did a good job in defending Ribery.

And Kyle Walker.

If Yang Cheng is really determined to defend, he can arrange the right back to defend Ronaldo alone.

But in this game, his main goal is to attack and score more goals.

Even now, after Real Madrid scored a goal, Yang Cheng still sticks to this idea.

Because he was very sure of one thing!

Mourinho has never been a head coach who likes to reuse and promote young players. He likes and trusts mature players who are ready to play.

However, Real Madrid’s current bench depth, especially in the frontcourt, is obviously not as good as that of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Three days later, both sides will have a fight to the death to decide the league championship.

We cannot afford to lose this game.

But Bayswater Chinese are playing Manchester City at home, and Real Madrid are playing Barcelona away.

In this situation, Yang Cheng dares to make bold rotations, but does Mourinho dare?

If he fights hard against Bayswater Chinese in this game and Barcelona in the next one, what will he use to play against Bayswater Chinese after the rotation in the Champions League at the Bernabeu next Wednesday?

Therefore, Yang Cheng was very sure that Mourinho would make substitutions in the second half.

The away score of 1-2 is very good for Real Madrid.
