Chapter 248 Dominate the Premier League! Player of the Season! We should sign him at all costs! [Subscribe]

Barcelona and Manchester City, how to choose?
On his way back to London from Manchester, Yang Cheng was thinking about this question all the way.

This is indeed a pitfall.

Sinkhole!

Judging from this game at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, if Ancelotti really wants to play defensively, he will definitely cause headaches for all teams.

All Italian head coaches have this ability.

Ancelotti is one of the best.

Is it necessarily a good idea to choose Barcelona?
Nor is it.

It sounds like it would be easier to play against Barcelona, ​​but defending like Manchester City is precisely high-risk.

Just look at this game.

Yang Cheng dared to guarantee that if Ancelotti were given another chance, he would most likely not get such a score.

20% ball possession, 4 shots, 1 shot on target.

This is no longer outrageous for the mother to open the door.

But it’s the outrageous grandma!
What manager is crazy enough to sacrifice so much possession?
There is only one explanation, that is, I really can’t win.

In Yang Cheng’s previous life, in 2010, Inter Milan, coached by Mourinho, played against Barcelona at home and had a possession rate of nearly 3%.

But even in the second leg away from home, with one man down early on, the ball possession rate was less than 15%.

Yang Cheng couldn’t remember the exact amount.

This shows how embarrassed Manchester City is.

If Yang Cheng were to choose, he would actually prefer Manchester City.

Because when playing against Manchester City, we can take the initiative.

But when playing against Barcelona, ​​it is difficult to take the initiative.

It is worth mentioning that the current Barcelona is not the Barcelona of Yang Cheng’s previous life.

In Yang Cheng’s previous life, Barcelona had actually won the Champions League twice by 2012. All the players had already achieved success and were not young anymore, so the decline was quite significant.

But now, Guardiola’s team hasn’t even won a Champions League, and they rely purely on their football philosophy to win the recognition of fans and all professionals.

Under such circumstances, although the form of Barcelona’s players has declined, their overall strength is still maintained well.

As for the rumors that Guardiola will be sacked after the end of the season, it is purely a misunderstanding by the media.

What Guardiola meant was that he would decide whether to renew the contract based on the team’s actual performance after the end of the season.

The reason is that Barcelona is now also fighting on three fronts.

The league is currently behind Real Madrid, but there is still a chance. As long as Barcelona beats Real Madrid at home in the league at the weekend, there will be hope for the league.

The Copa del Rey has reached the final.

As for the Champions League, we have now reached the semi-finals.

To some extent, the next few games will determine whether Guardiola will renew his contract with Barcelona.

Guardiola obviously hopes to motivate his players in this way.

See how many people are willing to play for him.

……

After returning to London from Manchester, Yang Cheng immediately convened a meeting of the coaching staff and technical team.

Mainly discussing the match at the Etihad Stadium.

The team has obtained the latest and most detailed set of data.

I have a deeper understanding of the two teams currently participating in the competition.

Because next weekend, Bayswater Chinese will play against Manchester City.

Since the Champions League match was one day earlier than Manchester City’s, Yang Cheng’s team had a slight advantage in the schedule.

In addition, the game is played at home, so the timing and location are favorable for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Therefore, Yang Cheng’s focus is still on capturing people.

With consecutive high-intensity matches, plus the second leg of the Champions League semi-final next Wednesday, Yang Cheng has no choice but to rotate the team’s lineup.

“From the information we have received so far, Ancelotti will definitely make rotations, and the intensity will not be small.”

Gary Worthington is the director of scouting, and under him are scouts who specialize in gathering intelligence on opponents.

“The game is played one day later, so we have one day less to rest. Besides, when playing against Barcelona, ​​they are more exhausted than us, so I think they should still choose to defend and counterattack at Wembley Stadium.”

Ball possession rate, to some extent, represents the consumption of players.

The lower the ball possession rate, the greater the player consumption.

For a team like Manchester City, with only 2% possession of the ball, you can imagine how much energy it consumed.

By winning this game, Bayswater Chinese has basically won the league championship in advance!

Therefore, Yang Cheng cannot afford to lose this battle.

But precisely because of this, Yang Cheng also attaches great importance to the players’ condition and psychology.

Thad Fawcett showed Yang Cheng the sports science department’s assessment of the players’ physical condition, which was generally good.

Whether it is the injury situation or the players’ fatigue level, it has always been within the controllable range.

In this regard, the entire traffic light system built by Thad Fawcett over the past few years has had a great influence on the Chinese in Bayswater.

In addition, in recent years, Yang Cheng has paid more attention to the sports science department, invested a lot of money in it, and the results are obvious.

The problem now is the combat effectiveness after the rotation.

Yang Cheng is also worried about the players’ mentality.

At present, the psychological expert group of Bayswater Chinese has three people, headed by Tim Hannix, with two assistants, one is Tim Hannix’s son and the other is an external expert.

The psychological expert group has been tracking and monitoring the mental state of the Chinese players at Bayswater.

But this game is very crucial, but rotation is necessary.

“Tim, you have to pay more attention in the next two days,” Yang Cheng reminded.

Tim Hannix quickly agreed, as this was also his job.

As for what kind of playing style Yang Cheng will adopt in the game, who will rotate and who will appear, it is too early to say now.

We will have to wait until before the game to see the players’ condition, recovery level, and their psychological assessment to make a decision.

For example, in such an important game, young players such as Harry Kane, Pogba and Sterling will definitely not be able to play.

Jose Fonte didn’t dare to go up either.

This is not a question of strength, but pressure.

If Yang Cheng took the risk and let them go, it would be somewhat irresponsible.

……

Bayswater Chinese beat Real Madrid 3-1 at home.

Manchester City beat Barcelona 1-0 at home.

Both Premier League teams beat La Liga teams at home.

This caused the British media to cheer.

But all attention soon focused on the next two key games.

The Premier League title battle and the La Liga national derby.

At present, both Bayswater Chinese and Barcelona are aiming to win the treble.

And these two games happen to be between teams participating in the Champions League semi-finals.

This is an extremely rare scene for fans all over the world.

Who would have thought that the four teams participating in the Champions League semi-finals would play two more key matches to decide the league championship between the two legs of the semi-finals?
This is unprecedented in the history of the Champions League!
Therefore, the media and fans around the world are paying close attention to these two games this weekend.

Just before this game, the annual PFA selection results of the Professional Footballers’ Association of the United Kingdom were released.

This selection is basically done before the end of the league.

Therefore, there will be no changes due to the ownership of the league championship.

But there is no doubt that the team competing for the championship tends to perform better.

Like previous years, the best team of the season is still based on the English-style 442 formation.

The goalkeeper with the least suspense is Courtois.

The 19-year-old Belgian goalkeeper performed extremely well for the Chinese in Bayswater.

This season he has even broken the Premier League record set by Cech, becoming the goalkeeper with the most shutouts in a single season in history.

With his performance like this, there is no doubt that he will be selected as the goalkeeper of the season’s best team.

The back line is Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Piszczek.

Yes, the entire midfield and backcourt are all Bayswater Chinese players.

Even the two players in the middle of the midfield are Toni Kroos and Modric.

Gareth Bale on the left and David Silva on the right.

The Spaniard actually often plays in the middle, left midfielder and other positions, but if it is a 433, he basically plays as a right winger.

The two forwards are Van Persie and Lewandowski.

In fact, many people feel sorry for Walcott because the little tiger has scored 17 goals this season.

His performance this season is also obvious to all.

But there is no way.

There are too many Chinese players from Bayswater selected. If we include Little Tiger in it, it will directly become a list of Chinese players from Bayswater.

Even so, in the best lineup of 11 people, Bayswater Chinese occupied 9 seats, which is already extremely high.

Everyone has to admit that the dominance of the Bayswater Chinese in the past season was unprecedented.

Whether it was Manchester United, which won the treble that year, or Bayswater Chinese, which won the treble in the 08/09 season, in terms of dominance, neither is as good as Bayswater Chinese this season.

Therefore, there was not much objection to the inclusion of 11 players in the 9-man roster.

Among the individual player awards, the Best Newcomer Award was somewhat unexpectedly given to Kyle Walker.

Although this young local right-back is not yet a member of the team’s starting lineup, his performance is getting better and better and he has already been selected for the national team.

By the way, the right side of the England national team is actually very problematic at the moment.

Manchester City’s Micah Richards’ performance has declined significantly and he no longer has the strong momentum he had before.

The development of this explosive full-back is far less than expected by the outside world.

Glen Johnson often made mistakes on defense.

On the contrary, Kyle Walker seems to have come from behind.

As a rotation player, his performance is getting better and better.

So, this time he defeated Arsenal’s Chamberlain, Manchester United’s Welbeck, Manchester City’s Sturridge, Manchester City’s Aguero and other players and won the Newcomer of the Season award.

Speaking of this group of people, Yang Cheng feels that Aguero’s loss to Kyle Walker is somewhat suspected of the players’ union favoring their own players. After all, Aguero’s performance is there, and it is truly outstanding.

As for the others, their performance was indeed not as good as Kyle Walker.

In addition, Ryan Bertrand has also been shortlisted for the England national team, but he is currently a substitute for Ashley Cole and Leighton Baines. It is still unclear whether he can be included in the final European Cup roster.

It mainly depends on the status of Ashley Cole and Leighton Baines, as well as the staffing situation.

The Player of the Season award went to Bayswater Chinese player Robert Lewandowski.

The Polish striker has scored 29 league goals in the Premier League so far this season.

It should be noted that his goal data stopped at the 28th round.

Starting from the 29th round, he failed to score again due to the rotation of the two-line battle and the players’ fluctuating form.

But even so, he has surpassed Van Persie who scored 27 goals.

Everyone believes that Lewandowski’s goal tally this season will definitely reach a new high.

Because Bayswater Chinese still have 5 league rounds left.

Over the past few years, as the performance of the Chinese at Bayswater has risen and the players have won various awards, everyone has become accustomed to it.

Even the Premier League Players Association’s most prestigious season award is not uncommon.

The reason why this season attracted attention is that it won too many awards.

Not only did he win the Best Newcomer and Best Player awards, he also got 11 spots in the 9 best teams.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Chinese in Bayswater have completely dominated the Premier League.

Because of this, it has received attention and praise from media and fans around the world.

……

March 4st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

This key match of the 35th round of the Premier League kicked off with Walcott’s high shot in front of the goal.

This is a battle that has attracted worldwide attention and will be broadcast live to the world.

Both sides made some rotations, but the core players remained unchanged.

Obviously, both teams want to beat their opponents.

Yang Cheng deployed a combination of Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Walcott on the front line.

But in midfield, Yang Cheng sent Aaron Ramsey and Modric to partner up.

Toni Kroos was rested in this game.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team of Bayswater threatened their opponents with a shot, and also took advantage of their home field to attack Manchester City first.

In the 6th minute of the game, after a straight pass from Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale shook off Chiellini on the left side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner from a small angle.

As a result, the ball slightly brushed the post and went wide.

Afterwards, the Chinese in Bayswater continued their offensive.

In the 15th minute, Kyle Walker sent a straight pass behind the defense line.

Walcott quickly moved forward, successfully beat the offside, and then received the ball and broke into the right side of the penalty area to have a one-on-one opportunity.

But the shot went wide again.

In the 19th minute, there was a corner kick opportunity and the Chinese players in Bayswater made a tactical corner kick.

Kompany headed the ball from the back post, but it was slightly higher.

In less than 20 minutes, they launched continuous attacks and created three excellent opportunities in a row.

In the 24th minute, Lewandowski’s shot near the penalty spot was saved by Joe Hart.

Just four minutes later, Gareth Bale headed the ball from the left side of the penalty area after a long pass from Javi Martinez, and Lewandowski followed up and shot in front of the goal.

The shot from 7 meters away from the goal was saved by Joe Hart again.

The subsequent corner kick was also blocked.

In the 34th minute, there was another corner kick opportunity.

It’s still a tactical corner kick.

This time it was Kyle Walker’s sudden shot from outside the penalty area.

Joe Hart made a heroic save.

But before the end of the first half, Bayswater Chinese once again reached a climax.

First, Kyle Walker passed the ball to the back post from the right, and Gareth Bale shot from the left side of the small penalty area, but he missed the target and the shot hit the side net.

In the 44th minute, Lewandowski, Kyle Walker and Walcott completed a wonderful series of passes and cuts on the right side of the penalty area. Finally, Lewandowski passed the ball back to Modric on the right side of the penalty area top.

The Croatian player volleyed the ball without any defense, but it hit the crossbar hard.

Throughout the first half, the Chinese players from Bayswater were pressing Manchester City.

As a result, Blue Moon actually held on to the score of 0-0.

And one time it hit the crossbar.

Then consider the three posts in the Champions League game against Barcelona on Wednesday.

What else can Yang Cheng say?

“I even have some doubts now. Could Ancelotti be the protagonist of some failed football novel?”

Yang Cheng grumbled, feeling somewhat upset.

This can no longer be called luck.

Even God is helping him!
The author of this football novel is definitely cheating!
The thing is, I’m obviously the time traveler, so shouldn’t I be the male protagonist of the novel?
……

During the half-time break, Yang Cheng affirmed the team’s performance in the first half.

Judging from the overall performance, there was no problem with the performance of the Chinese players in Bayswater.

The attack on Manchester City, the suppression of the midfield, and the targeted defense of Manchester City’s forwards by the back line were all done very well.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City did not get many good opportunities.

But this is not enough.

“I said before the game that this would be a very difficult game.”

“The competition is not only about our strength and condition, but also our mental quality, our resilience, and our hunger for the championship!”

“This is an all-round test for us!”

In Yang Cheng’s plan, a draw in this game is actually acceptable.

But he would not reveal his thoughts to the players.

He has been telling the players that this game must be won!

He who seeks the best will obtain the middle.

When Yang Cheng kept asking everyone to give their best to win the game, the final result would not be too bad.

This can also be seen in the players’ mental state during the half-time break.

At the beginning of the second half, Bayswater Chinese launched an attack again.

The most outrageous thing happened in the 60th minute.

It was still an attack launched by the team on the right.

Walcott formed a connection with Kyle Walker and passed the ball to Lewandowski.

The Pole stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty spot, turned around, and when he shot, the ball hit Chiellini and deflected.

Kyle Walker broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot another volley straight into the far corner of the goal.

The shot was of very high quality and at a sharp angle, but it hit the left post again.

“Oh my god, this is incredible!”

“This is the second time I’ve hit the post in today’s game.”

“Just three days ago, Manchester City played Barcelona at home. Barcelona hit the post three times, but all of them were on the right post.”

“And today, at Wembley Stadium in London, the Bayswater Chinese hit the post twice, once on the crossbar, once on the left post, and also on both the left and right side nets.”

“Now we can conclude that the entire goal is helping Manchester City!”

The live TV camera also switched to the sidelines.

In front of the home team’s coaching booth, Yang Cheng opened his arms helplessly, obviously not knowing how to describe the current situation.

Is Manchester City too lucky recently?
“It’s really a very devastating situation.”

“From the whole game, the Bayswater Chinese did perform better.”

“But luck doesn’t seem to be on the home team’s side.”

“Two games, five hits on the post. Manchester City’s luck has really been off the charts lately!”

Yang Cheng scratched his head speechlessly, turned around and walked back to the home team’s coaching booth. After taking a sip of water, he turned around and continued to watch the game.

“Let them take turns to warm up, and start replacing them later!” Yang Cheng instructed.

Brian Kidd nodded and immediately arranged for someone to notify the players on the bench.

After 60 minutes, substitutions will be made depending on the situation. This is a strategy that had been formulated before the game.

Because they will challenge Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in Madrid in three days.

Although we won 3-1 at home and gained enough advantage in the game, who would dare to be careless against a team like Real Madrid?

And it’s still on the road.

“Our players are still too tired, not excited enough, and their efficiency is too poor.” Brian Kidd was also helpless.

Although they had the advantage on the field, they were unable to score a goal and their efficiency was actually not very high.

“Ancelotti really seemed to be using us to test the lineup on purpose in this game. I guess they still want to continue playing defensive counterattacks as a guest at the Camp Nou.” Yang Cheng guessed.

Brian Kidd nodded.

This is actually not surprising.

For Manchester City, even if they try their best and win this game, whether they can win the championship will ultimately depend on the attitude of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Only if Yang Cheng’s team keeps making mistakes will Manchester City have a chance to counterattack.

Otherwise, Manchester City would have no chance at all. But if they can beat Barcelona away in the second leg, they will be able to advance to the final.

This will be the first time Manchester City has ever reached the Champions League final!
Therefore, Ancelotti knows clearly what is more important.

He played defensive counterattack, firstly to test the formation, and secondly to wait for an opportunity.

As for the Bayswater Chinese, this match was purely due to their own reasons.

The players were too tired and not excited enough, so many goals that they could normally score were not scored in this game.

Or it hit the pillar.

The difference is only a hair’s breadth, but it’s exactly the difference between an ups and downs in status.

There is a saying that goes: You can’t blame the government for your hard life, and you can’t blame society for your bad luck.

Yang Cheng will neither blame his opponents nor the players.

……

In the 65th minute, Yang Cheng replaced Gareth Bale with Hazard.

In the 70th minute, De Bruyne replaced Modric.

Both substitutions were positional substitutions, and both were in preparation for the upcoming Champions League semi-final.

According to Yang Cheng’s plan, in the 75th minute, Giroud replaced Lewandowski.

The French striker had already been arranged by Yang Cheng and was standing on the sidelines, ready to play at any time.

Just waiting for a dead ball opportunity.

But at this moment, Manchester City launched a quick counterattack.

In City’s half, the ball found its way to Gareth Barry.

But at this moment, Kyle Walker, who was returning to defense, suddenly came back from the side and rear.

The England right-back immediately confronted the opponent with his left shoulder, and actually managed to force Gareth Barry away and intercept the ball.

Kyle Walker quickly crossed to Javi Martinez.

The latter was originally returning to defense quickly, but when he saw Kyle Walker intercept the ball, he immediately stopped and passed the ball back to De Bruyne near the right sideline.

De Bruyne dribbled the ball forward, rushed to the right corner of Manchester City’s penalty area, and made a straight pass.

Walcott quickly moved forward to the right side of the penalty area. When he received the ball, he saw Jerome Boateng sliding towards him. He moved aside slightly, allowing the German to knock the ball into the air.

The little tiger went down to the right bottom line of the small penalty area and sent a cross to find Lewandowski.

As a result, the ball was blocked by Chiellini and bounced back.

In a hurry, the little tiger turned around quickly and chased back, kicking the ball directly with his left foot.

The ball went straight towards the goal.

But at this time, Joe Hart was already blocking the ball in front of the right post of the goal. Facing the shot from the far corner, Joe Hart bent down, stretched out his legs, and blocked the ball with his hand.

But there was no way Joe Hart could hold on to such a shot.

After blocking the ball, Joe Hart immediately adjusted his center of gravity and dived towards the football in front of the goal.

The England goalkeeper’s reaction speed was not slow.

From blocking Walcott’s shot to the second save, he can be said to have done his best.

Even when he made the subsequent save, his body was extremely stretched, his hands stretched out as far as possible, and he was almost about to catch the football that had just slipped out of his hands.

But someone was faster than him and shot the ball into the goal from close range.

His shooting even slightly touched Joe Hart’s hand, and he staggered two steps and almost fell.

The ball bounced just inside the Manchester City goal line.

The referee’s whistle sounded instantly, indicating that the goal was valid!

At this moment, the entire Wembley Stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

At this moment, all 9 fans rushed out of their seats, cheering wildly and shouting Lewandowski’s name.

On the sidelines, the moment Yang Cheng saw Lewandowski’s sudden goal, he excitedly rushed to the front of the coaching area, knelt down on the sidelines, and cheered with all his might.

……

One minute after Lewandowski scored, Yang Cheng replaced the Pole with Giroud.

Manchester City began to make substitutions in an attempt to strengthen their attack.

But by this time, the situation had begun to turn around.

The morale of the Chinese players in Bayswater improved and they played very well, while Manchester City defended for 75 minutes and it was not easy for them to launch a sudden counterattack.

In the end, neither side was able to score again.

Throughout the game, Bayswater Chinese took 30 shots, but only 7 were on target.

Such shooting efficiency really made Yang Cheng feel a little embarrassed.

Is this the efficiency that the Bayswater Chinese, who are known for their offensive football and goal-scoring ability, should display?

However, looking at Manchester City, they only had 7 shots and 1 shot on target in the whole game. Ancelotti should be even more embarrassed.

What’s more, Bayswater Chinese hit the post twice.

Therefore, at the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng believed that the score of 1-0 was actually equivalent to 3-0.

He included both hits.

Failure of indiscriminate bombardment coupled with mistakes by the home team usually equals conceding goals to the opponent.

This is a losing pattern that many fans are very familiar with.

But in this game, the Bayswater Chinese withstood the pressure in the second half and scored a goal through a steal in the frontcourt.

“If I say we just lacked a bit of luck, it would sound like a cliché excuse.”

“But I believe that everyone who has watched the game will not deny what I said!”

Yang Cheng felt sorry for his players.

This should have been a complete victory!
He believes that Manchester City’s recent luck is really good.

Ancelotti also complained for his players.

The Manchester City manager believes it should be a draw.

“We have put in our best efforts, but we have not received the expected rewards!”

Ancelotti said that Manchester City players showed satisfactory style in this game.

It was also in this round that Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 at home.

Wenger’s team defeated the Blues at home thanks to Fabregas’ goal in the 92nd minute.

Manchester United drew 4-4 with Everton at home.

The game was played in an open manner, with both teams creating a total of 41 shots.

Manchester United once took a 3-1 lead, but was eventually equalized by Everton.

Liverpool beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at home.

After 35 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese had 30 points with a record of 3 wins, 1 draws and 93 loss, ranking first in the Pound standings.

The reason for playing one less game was because the 34th round conflicted with the FA Cup semi-final, so it was postponed.

Arsenal defeated Chelsea at home and surpassed Manchester City with 87 points, ranking second in the standings.

Manchester City ranks third in the standings with 86 points.

Manchester United ranked fourth with 82 points.

It can be said that at this stage in the league, Bayswater Chinese has almost secured the Premier League title this season. Whether it is Manchester City or Arsenal, the probability of a comeback is not high.

……

While the 35th round of the Premier League is in full swing, the much-anticipated national derby in the 35th round of La Liga is also in full swing at the Camp Nou in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Mourinho’s Galacticos continued to play with a full main lineup away from home, and defeated Barcelona 2-0 away from home with two goals from Khedira and Ronaldo.

Guardiola’s side were comprehensively beaten at home by Mourinho’s side at a crucial moment in this crucial La Liga title race.

Since the game was held in the evening, Yang Cheng watched the live broadcast with the coaching staff.

One of the important reasons why Guardiola lost at home was that his old problem came back again.

At the crucial moment of the game, Guardiola actually adopted a very outrageous three-defender formation.

What’s even more outrageous is that not only did you adopt a three-defender formation, but you also rotated Busquets in the midfield and Pique in the center back.

In the starting lineup, players such as Tello, Adriano and Thiago were arranged to start.

Although, Barcelona still dominated the game with its own ball control system.

But Real Madrid’s attack gave Guardiola’s team a severe lesson away from home.

Obviously, at this critical moment, Guardiola’s team exposed their problems one after another.

The first is that the bench is not thick enough.

Many people criticized Yang Cheng for his incomplete lineup. Previously there were 23 people, and now it has increased to 25 people.

But it still feels like not enough.

But compared with Guardiola’s Barcelona, ​​Yang Cheng is considered to be very good.

They often play the entire season with 19 or even 21 players.

But now?

In such a continuous fighting situation, it is impossible to rotate.

We lost 0-1 to Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals away from home. Will we be able to turn the tables in the second leg?
If we want to turn the tables, the players need to be rested, right?

Without rest, what can the players use to play against Manchester City?
This game fully exposed the shortcomings of Barcelona’s lineup.

But one thing is still particularly strange.

Although Barcelona’s first team has a small number of players, their salary expenditure is very high.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the upcoming game.

The second problem exposed by this game is Barcelona’s ability to withstand pressure.

Both the players and Guardiola clearly lack the ability to withstand pressure.

This is not the first time that Guardiola has changed the formation at a critical moment.

Facing Real Madrid, which has a top winger like Cristiano Ronaldo, and Barcelona’s weak defense, which adopts a 3-back formation, Yang Cheng has no idea what Guardiola is thinking.

Yang Cheng speculated that Guardiola’s mentality in this game was somewhat similar to that of Manchester City.

Even if we win, whether we can win the league title depends on the performance of our competitors.

Instead of doing this, they would rather give it a try in the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.

……

On the evening of March 4, Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese will challenge Real Madrid away.

From the beginning of the game, the two teams presented an open offensive situation.

The two leading teams, Barcelona and Manchester City, who had just fought to the death last weekend, started a fast-paced bloody battle at the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the 11th minute of the game, when Real Madrid midfielder intercepted the ball and counterattacked, Khedira passed the ball to Mesut in the frontcourt.

After the German got the ball on the right side of the frontcourt, he made a diagonal pass with his left foot, which happened to land at the feet of Ronaldo on the left side of the arc top area.

Ronaldo stopped the ball and passed Pepe, creating a one-on-one opportunity, and easily shot into the far corner with his right foot.

1 is better than 0!

The entire Bernabeu Stadium turned into a sea of ​​celebration!

C Ronaldo rushed out of the stadium excitedly and slid to his knees under the fans’ stands.

Everyone in the stadium was shouting the Portuguese superstar’s name.

At the same time, many Real Madrid fans were mocking and insulting Yang Cheng.

As the most unpopular person in the Bernabeu, Yang Cheng did not expect that his team would encounter an attack from Real Madrid shortly after the start of the game.

The total score changed from 3 to 1 to 3 to 2!

This gives Real Madrid hope!
But Yang Cheng did not feel anxious. Instead, he stood on the sidelines and kept calling on the players.

Ask them to be calmer and not to be anxious!
This goal also made Real Madrid players smell the opportunity for a reversal.

So, after the restart, Real Madrid continued to press forward, hoping to equalize the score in one go.

But the counterattack of the Chinese in Bayswater is not to be underestimated.

Just two minutes after Diudiu, Marcelo made a run to the left sideline and his pass was intercepted.

But Gareth Bale retreated to the center line of the frontcourt, intercepted the ball from Mesut, and turned around and dribbled forward.

Mesut’s strong pull from behind couldn’t stop Gareth Bale’s sprint with the ball.

He rushed to the outskirts of Real Madrid’s 30-meter area, and facing Khedira, he kicked the ball directly to the front. He suddenly accelerated and rushed directly between the two defensive players, Khedira and Arbeloa.

The Welshman’s speed completely exploded at this moment.

He was like a red lightning, instantly penetrating Real Madrid’s midfield and defense and rushing to the left corner of Real Madrid’s penalty area.

Bruno Alves rushed over and tried to intercept Gareth Bale.

But the Welshman repeated his old trick, poking the ball towards the bottom line, then he passed from the outside of the penalty area, used his speed to break through Bruno Alves and made a cross near the bottom line.

This scene left everyone stunned!

No one expected that Gareth Bale would suddenly sprint with the ball.

Even the Bayswater Chinese players didn’t expect it.

As a result, Lewandowski in the middle was still at the top of the arc.

The cross landed at the back post, just on the right side of the small penalty area.

Di Maria on the right side shook off Coentrao, rushed forward at high speed, and before anyone else, he pushed the ball with his left foot and made a shot in the opposite direction.

Casillas tried hard to save the ball but was unable to stop it.

The football went into the left side of Real Madrid’s goal.

1 is better than 1!

The entire stadium was in an uproar!
“It took Bayswater Chinese just two minutes to equalize the score.”

“Goal from Di Maria!”

“In reality, the Argentine doesn’t score that many goals, but every one of them is crucial.”

“Yang Cheng once said that Di Maria has a big heart and always likes to score goals at critical moments!”

After scoring the goal, Di Maria excitedly rushed out of the stadium to celebrate.

But he was greeted with boos from the Bernabeu.

……

After successfully equalizing the score, Bayswater Chinese and Real Madrid continued to increase their offensive efforts.

In the 16th minute, Marcelo first completed a two-pass cooperation with Gareth Bale on the left side, and then passed the ball to Lewandowski on the left side of the arc in front of the penalty area.

After passing the ball, Marcelo quickly moved forward and passed by Lewandowski.

When the Polish center turned around and shot, Ramos blocked it sideways.

But Lewandowski quickly caught up and kicked the ball behind the defense before Bruno Alves.

Marcelo scored with an easy push.

But the referee blew the whistle, indicating that the Brazilian left-back was offside.

In the 24th minute, Toni Kroos made a straight pass to the right side of the top area in the middle of the frontcourt, in front of Xabi Alonso and Las Diarra.

Lewandowski successfully turned around in the arc area, received the ball, and dribbled into the penalty area.

Facing the attacking Casillas, Lewandowski easily pushed the ball into Real Madrid’s goal again.

2 is better than 1!

The Polish center forward raised his arms excitedly and celebrated with Toni Kroos who ran over.

For this ball, Toni Kroos’s straight pass was the key.

It’s so comfortable!
Lewandowski only needed to stop the ball, turn around, and then go directly into the penalty area and shoot.

So, the Polish center forward also celebrated the goal with Toni Kroos.

The Bernabeu fans at the scene gave a deafening boo.

But after Real Madrid kicked off again, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

It was obvious that Real Madrid fans were cheering for their home team.

But anyone can see that Lewandowski’s goal almost killed the game.

主场1比2惨遭逆转，客场1比3落败，总比分2比5，皇马足足落后了3个球。

But even if they scored three goals in a row and the total score was 3-5, it was not enough.

Because Bayswater Chinese have 2 away goals.

Therefore, if Real Madrid wants to win this game, they need to score at least 4 goals.

Everyone knows how likely it is for Real Madrid to score four goals against the Bayswater Chinese without allowing their opponents to score any goals.

Mourinho was not too excited when the second goal was conceded in the 24th minute.

It was obvious that he was prepared for this situation.

He was very excited when Ronaldo scored the goal just now.

But after conceding two goals in a row, he seemed unusually calm.

Perhaps, since he tried his best to play Barcelona away last weekend, he was already mentally prepared to lose in the Champions League semi-finals.

In the first leg away game, the score was 1-3. If it was against other teams, Mourinho might have fought for it again.

But this time it was the Bayswater Chinese who were facing off.

Everyone can see how well Yang Cheng’s team has performed this season.

In this situation, is it possible for Real Madrid to turn the tables?

Mourinho’s team got the answer in just 24 minutes!
After conceding two goals in 24 minutes, Mourinho’s choice was to start strengthening defense.

He doesn’t want to lose the ball anymore.

From his starting lineup, which included three defensive midfielders, Las Diarra, Khedira and Xabi Alonso, it can be seen that he actually tends to be defensive.

The attack at the beginning was just an attempt to catch the Chinese players of Bayswater off guard when they were not yet firmly established on the away field.

It turned out to be effective and he scored a goal.

It’s just that the Real Madrid players were a bit too greedy. They didn’t stop while they were ahead and wanted to score another goal.

After the Chinese in Bayswater reacted, they scored two goals in a row to reverse the score.

In just 24 minutes, Real Madrid was sentenced to death!

……

If the offensive play of both sides in the first half hour was brilliant, then in the following one hour of the game, including the entire second half, the play of both sides was actually a bit lackluster.

Real Madrid lost confidence.

For them, the game was lost when Lewandowski scored the second goal.

The reason that supports them to continue the game is the more than 7 Real Madrid fans who came to the Bernabeu.

But it was obvious that they were starting to hold back.

For Real Madrid now, instead of giving it a gamble and trying for a reversal that is basically unlikely to happen, it is better to save their strength and conserve their energy for the next league.

For Bayswater Chinese, a 2-1 away score is enough as long as they can advance smoothly.

The three-goal lead made Yang Cheng and the players feel at ease.

So, the game went on like this.

The only highlight in the second half was when Hazard came on as a substitute, took the ball on the left and dribbled past four Real Madrid defenders before making a wall pass with Giroud and breaking into the penalty area to shoot.

But the ball was saved by Casillas.

In this game, he passed 2 players in a row twice.

Gareth Bale’s shot in the first half relied on lightning explosive power and amazing speed.

In the second half, Hazard relied on his flexible changes of speed and direction, as well as his skilled dribbling ability.

After nearly two or three years of training by Yang Cheng, Hazard has gradually matured and won the title of Messi of the Premier League.

His personal abilities were fully demonstrated in this dribbling breakthrough that dribbled past four players.

This also made Zidane, who was sitting in the stands of the Bernabeu watching the game, so excited that he stood up.

“Eden Hazard!”

Zidane pointed at the Bayswater Chinese players on the field and said to Florentino.

“He’s a genius! We should sign him!”

“at all costs!”
