Chapter 82 is really popular! This Frenchman is so strong! [Please subscribe]
In most of the time, Skrtel's close marking of Drogba was very successful.
The head-to-head confrontation between the two made Drogba feel very depressed and had nowhere to use his energy.
Coupled with the assistance of Jose Fonte on the side, Drogba was almost completely frozen.
But the scariest thing about Cote d’Ivoire’s Warcraft is that you can’t slack off in the slightest.
In stoppage time, Drogba stopped the ball at the edge of the penalty area and turned around with a violent volley that penetrated Neuer's goal.
1 to 2!
The defending champion saved face at the last minute!
But this has nothing to do with the overall situation of the game.
The outcome has been decided!
Yang Cheng had no way to blame Skrtel.
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Skrtel had already collapsed on the court.
He battled with Drogba for 90 minutes.
Drogba's consumption of defenders is really terrifying.
Even more terrifying than his scoring ability and tactical role.
Although they conceded a goal at the last moment, judging from the entire game, the Bayswater Chinese defense was still very successful.
Skrtel and José Font almost froze Drogba.
The joining of Leighton Baines and Chimbanda also injected vitality and stability into the two wings.
Especially Chimbanda.
Except for that one missed pass, Chimbanda performed at a very high level throughout the game.
At the end of the game, the fans at the scene also spoke highly of the Bayswater Chinese players.
When captain Modric and Jose Fonte led the team around the field to thank all the fans in attendance, more than 18,000 fans all stood up from their seats and gave the team a received the warmest applause and cheers.
Yang Cheng stood at the entrance of the player tunnel, waiting for the players to come over, hugged them one by one, and sent them into the locker room.
…
“We did a great job!”
"Watching this game made my blood boil with excitement!"
"Wow!!"
Adam Crozier hugged Yang Cheng very excitedly in the tunnel.
This is the first Premier League game in the history of the Bayswater Chinese, and they face the defending champion Chelsea.
You can imagine how much pressure such a victory puts on the team.
At the critical moment, Yang Cheng and his team held on!
Xia Qing had obviously not come out of the game yet, and there was a trace of curiosity in her eyes when she looked at Yang Cheng.
The more she came into contact with Yang Cheng, the more she realized that her junior student was like a mystery.
Always create surprises unexpectedly!
"Yang, didn't you see the expression on Abramovich's face just now? I feel like he is going crazy."
Adam Crozier was particularly excited.
Many British people dislike Abramovich.
"You know? I really wanted to tell him at that time, no matter how rich you are, you will still lose?"
Yang Cheng could imagine Abramovich's expression.
Russians are not good people.
On the contrary, successful people like him have a desire for victory and power that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Even greedy.
“I’m telling you, Yang, you didn’t notice the atmosphere of the fans in the stands, it’s so exciting!”
“If we can maintain this style of play, our home court will definitely Explosion!”
“I’m a little worried now. So many season tickets have been sold, what will happen to the fans who haven’t bought them?”
"Ahem, our fare is still low."
Yang Cheng and Xia Qing looked at each other, both helpless.
You’ve only played one game and you’re already worried about this?
"I'm telling you, Yang, I've thought of a brilliant idea."
"Tell me about it?"
"We are going to start promoting it on the Internet, editing out these exciting game clips, and showing some highlights and interesting stories about our team's daily training on weekdays."
"I think it should be able to attract people More younger fans.”
Yang Cheng thinks this is a good idea.
The Internet has just emerged, and many clubs still don’t pay attention to it.
But in the future, this area will be a very important propaganda position.
There is also no Facebook and no-nonsense bastards.
“Also, we should find someone to write a team song and make a promotional video about the club’s football culture.”
Oh, yes, the Chinese in Bayswater don’t even have a team song yet. .
“Think about it, without a team song, there would be no chorus of thousands of people, which means there is no soul!”
Adam Crozier was obviously still in a state of excitement and was very excited.
What they defeated today was the defending champion and invincible Chelsea!
Of course Yang Cheng wants to support it.
This is a good thing.
And a brilliant idea immediately emerged in his mind, following Adam Crozier's thoughts.
He remembered a song he had heard countless times in his previous life, and a MV he had watched N times.
If you put the theme core of this song and the MV on football, the connection will be absolutely seamless.
When he thought of this, Yang Cheng immediately made a decision and supported Adam Crozier's proposal, while also putting forward his own ideas.
A team song, a football culture promotional video belonging to the Chinese people in Bayswater.
Plagiarism is shameful?
It depends on who copied it.
What we are copying is the top marketing of the world’s top companies ten years from now!
……
Salute to the Bayswater Chinese!
This is the title of a commentary article published by The Guardian immediately after the Premier League opened.
In this article, the Guardian gave a very high evaluation to this Premier League opening game of the new season, believing it to be one of the most exciting opening games in the history of the Premier League.
"No. 1 in the Premier League VS No. 1 in the Championship."
"There seems to be no suspense no matter how you look at it."
"What's more, the No. 1 in the Premier League also has unlimited money. They bought All the players they want."
"Reverse. The team that is number one in the English Championship is saddled with a heavy debt of more than 20 million pounds and has to send away two humerus players this summer. "
"No one thinks that the situation will change. This newly promoted team from the Championship has any chance.”
"But the charm of football lies in its unpredictability."
"Who would have thought that a tenacious newly promoted team would completely surprise the world?"
The Guardian conducted a very in-depth look at this game analysis.
From techniques and tactics, from players, from formation and on-the-spot command...
Finally, the Guardian came to a conclusion.
The Bayswater Chinese almost played the cards they had in their hands to the extreme.
“The head coach who is only 25 years old, uh, no, he has not received the coaching certificate yet, so this head coach needs to be quoted, but his formation and on-the-spot performance in this game In command, he is not inferior to Mourinho.”
“This is very amazing”
“He is like a genius!”
The Guardian thinks. , the best player in this game was Franck Ribery, who was elected the man of the match.
Players such as Lass Diarra, Yaya Toure, Chimbanda, Aaron Lennon and Skrtel also performed very well, helping the home team defeat the powerful Chelsea 2-1.
“They not only defeated Chelsea on the final score, they even made the defending champion very embarrassed throughout the game, especially in the first half.”
"Mourinho changed two players at halftime, but the game still didn't improve. He made a mistake in the 60th All substitutions were used up within minutes, but there was still nothing the Bayswater Chinese could do. "
"In the end, at the critical moment, Drogba stepped forward and saved Chelsea's face. ”
Although he has only been in the Premier League for one season, Mourinho has offended countless British media.
The Guardian also took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
“The wonderful performance of the Bayswater Chinese forced Mourinho. He kept directing from the sidelines, nervous and restless, but still could not reverse the situation.”
“ I believe that at the moment the game ended, the Portuguese’s expression of relief should be saying that this damn game is finally over.”
Finally, the Guardian believes that the first round of the Premier League. The game doesn't explain anything.
After all, it is just a show.
"But the performance of the Bayswater Chinese and the outstanding flashes of many players left a very deep impression on us."
"We have absolutely reason to look forward to this team, whose average age is still Young teams under 21 years old, in the new Premier League season, give us Bring more surprises and create more surprises”
“Especially their aggressive football style”
“Let us congratulate the Bayswater Chinese. They salute!”
……
In addition to the Guardian, other British media also reported on the game.
For example, The Sun commented that Ribery is better than Robben as a left winger.
The reason is that Ferreira could not stop Ribery, but Robben was restricted by Chimbanda.
“Chimbanda, whose transfer fee is only 500,000 pounds, completely froze Chelsea’s left wing king!”
What’s even more funny is that Scots, whose transfer fee is only 200,000 pounds Ter, almost froze Drogba.
If it weren't for that last shot, Drogba would have had no good way to defeat Skrtel throughout the game.
Leighton Baines for £2 million, Jose Fonte on a free transfer, Skrtel for £200,000 and Chimbonda for £500,000.
The total value of the Bayswater Chinese defense line is only 2.7 million pounds.
What about Chelsea’s attacking line?
Drogba at £24 million, Robben at £12 million, Duff at £17 million, and Wright-Phillips at £21 million...
Combined, Chelsea's attacking line is worth more than £100 million.
As a result, Drogba had to wait until the last moment of the game to score a goal by chance.
For most of the rest of the time, the Blues had nothing to do with the Bayswater Chinese.
On the contrary, the Bayswater Chinese attack line, Ribery on a free transfer, Lambert with 150,000 pounds and Alan Lennon with 1 million pounds, broke through Chelsea's attack line twice. Known as the iron wall of defense.
The Sun believes that this defeat is worthy of Chelsea's reflection.
The Times was even more straightforward, directly writing in the headline: Football Victory!
The authoritative British media believes that the victory of the Bayswater Chinese may not be able to shake Chelsea's dominance of the Premier League, but it is enough to prove that willful capital can no longer do whatever it wants in the world of football!
"Yang Cheng and his players used a victory to tell everyone that they are still persevering!"
Two years after acquiring Chelsea, Abramovich waved his hands unscrupulously They bought all the players they wanted, and quickly formed a powerful, even known as the invincible iron-blooded Blue Army.
Last season, they swept the Premier League with an almost overwhelming momentum.
But in the League Cup final, the Bayswater Chinese sniped the all-powerful Premier League champions.
And this season, it was the Bayswater Chinese who defeated the defending champion in the first round of the new season.
The Times listed the grievances between the two clubs in the past two years, especially the inside story that Chelsea had always wanted to acquire the Bayswater Chinese and obtain the land at the North Gate of Hyde Park.
The feud between the two clubs has been completely exposed to the world.
This also gave this Premier League opening game a deeper meaning, making the Bayswater Chinese victory more tragic and contagious.
In the UK, not to mention non-Chelsea fans who hate this upstart, even many Chelsea fans don't like Abramovich and feel that capital is corroding Chelsea's football tradition.
They have always been eager for someone to step forward, defeat Chelsea on their behalf, and teach the upstart from Russia a lesson.
Now, Yang Cheng and his team play such a role.
So, after the opening of the Premier League, the Bayswater Chinese are really popular!
Not only are the major media rushing to report on it, but even the fans speak very highly of them.
Yang Cheng has always maintained rationality and restraint in this regard, and at the same time constantly reminds the people around him.
Both the media and the fans, when facing Chelsea, they all stood with the Bayswater Chinese.
What about the future?
One day in the future, will the Bayswater Chinese face the team they support?
“Focus on doing our own thing well, the Premier League has just begun.”
"The real challenge is far from coming!"
Yang Cheng has a very clear understanding of this.
……
On the afternoon of August 20th, Valley Stadium, Greenwich, southeast of London.
In the second round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Charlton Athletic away.
Yang Cheng stood tall in his iconic black trousers and white shirt.
In the stadium, Charlton, who played at home, took the lead from the start, grabbing the Bayswater Chinese defense and bombarding them indiscriminately, trying to take advantage of their home court advantage and use this fast-paced attack. Attack and capture the opponent's goal.
Yang Cheng was prepared for this situation.
This is a common trick used by Premier League teams, especially these traditional teams.
Charlton’s head coach Alan Curbishley is also considered a legend in English football.
As early as the late 1980s, when he played for Brighton, he had dual roles as a player and assistant coach.
Fans who are familiar with England know that this kind of thing is very common in England.
In 1990, he moved from Brighton to Charlton Athletic, which was still in the second-tier league at the time. In 1991, he began coaching Charlton Athletic as a player and head coach.
In the past 14 years, Charlton, under the coaching of Alan Curbishley, has been promoted from the second level to the Premier League and has gradually become a force that cannot be underestimated in the Premier League.
In the past few years, Charlton has been able to maintain its position in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League, and Cubishli has indispensable contribution.
Many people say that the biggest difference between him and Ferguson and Wenger is that he coached Charlton.
This shows the influence of this famous England coach.
In the first round of the Premier League, Charlton defeated newly promoted Sunderland 3-1 away from home.
Darren Bent scored the Black Cats goal in just 11 minutes.
So, Cubishley wants to repeat the routine he played against Sunderland away from home against the Bayswater Chinese.
Taking advantage of the cautious characteristics of the newly promoted team, they can take the initiative from the beginning, confuse their opponents, and seize the initiative in the game.
Especially considering that the head coach of the Bayswater Chinese is Yang Cheng, who is only 25 years old.
Unexpectedly, the trend of the game was somewhat beyond his expectation.
……
Kubishli’s starting tactic is 451, with Darren Bent as the arrow, arranging five midfielders to suppress the opponent.
The starting lineup of the Bayswater Chinese is similar to the one played against Chelsea a week ago, still 433.
But Yang Cheng gave Charlton players a headache in terms of targeted tactics.
Darren Bent is a very fast forward.
Charlton's offensive routine is to press fiercely, grab the ball, and quickly send it to Darren Bent's feet.
At this time, Darren Bent will be like a sharp arrow, quickly penetrating the opponent's defense and delivering a fatal blow.
Compared with the lineup that played Chelsea a week ago, Yang Cheng changed his position.
Koscielny replaced Skrtel.
The French defender was arranged by Yang Cheng to press forward and entangle Darren Bent.
José Fonte is responsible for holding back and assisting in defense.
Others?
Nothing else!
Yang Cheng even wished that Charlton's midfielders were more active and pressed out to attack.
Unfortunately, Charlton has always adopted the same routine in the first 20 minutes.
This made the home team seem to have all the advantages and launched an indiscriminate bombardment, but in fact it had little effect.
The only threatening attack was in the 14th minute.
Bayswater Chinese forward Aaron Lennon made a breakthrough pass from the right after completing a steal in the frontcourt.
Lambert failed to grab the spot.
Charlton quickly launched a counterattack.
Jerome William Thomas, a left-sided player from Arsenal's youth training, dribbled the ball and made a pass under the interference of Chimbanda.
But the ball was cleared by Jose Fonte at the end.
Darren Bent?
He was stared at by Koscielny.
With the opponent unable to create a real threat to attack, Yang Cheng sat firmly on Diaoyutai.
Because he knows very well that Charlton's style of play has a drawback.
Once they fail to win the game at the beginning, their crazy pressing in the midfield will not last long.
Sure enough, in the 21st minute, the Bayswater Chinese took the first shot of the game.
After Yaya Toure intercepted the ball in midfield, he instigated a counterattack.
He and Modric touched the ball continuously, moved the ball to the left side of the front court, and handed it to Ribery.
After the Frenchman stopped the ball and dunked past the defender, he cut inside with the ball and sent an exquisite diagonal pass.
This diagonal pass penetrated Charlton's defense and landed on the right side of the penalty area.
Alan Lennon crossed into the penalty area and formed a single goal.
With no one on guard, the ball was handled in a sloppy manner, missing the best opportunity to kick the ball, and was blocked from the bottom line by the goalkeeper who struck in time.
Yang Cheng turned his head, saw Brian Kidd who was speechless, and laughed.
This is a common drawback among English players.
Subsequently, the Bayswater Chinese gradually reversed the situation on the court and began to stabilize their opponents, constantly creating opportunities on the court.
In the 29th minute, Leighton Bynes made a pass from the left and accurately delivered the ball into the penalty area.
Lambert leaped high and headed the ball a little.
But this header hit the goal line and was cleared by defender Luke Young who returned to defense in time.
1 minute later, the visiting team's offense made a comeback.
Lambert retreated to meet Modric, took the ball with his back, and when he turned to pass the ball, he was kicked down by the defensive player with a black foot.
But the referee didn't say anything.
He scored twice in the first round. As Charlton’s leading scorer, Darren Bent’s best chance in the entire first half was in the 33rd minute, passing from the right. In the middle, he ran out of space in the middle and took off to head the ball towards the goal.
As a result, Neuer, who struck quickly, stole the ball from the air first.
In the stoppage time of the first half, Ribery single-handedly dribbled the ball and faced Charlton's defense.
1 pick 5!
The French winger was so bold that he dribbled the ball and messed up the front of the opponent's penalty area.
In the end, he had to commit a foul and shovel Ribery to the ground.
The subsequent free kick failed to pose a threat.
0 to 0!
In the first half, both sides shook hands and made peace.
...
“Our performance in the first half was very good!”
In the locker room at halftime, Yang Cheng gave a summary of the first half.
The player basically completed his arrangement.
Although it is a pity that we failed to score a goal.
If you are lucky, you will score at least 2 goals in the first half.
"In the second half, we need to appropriately strengthen the rhythm of our offense and give our city rivals a boost of intensity."
Yang Cheng pulled up the tactical board and placed the midfielder's position on it All mentioned in advance.
"After we started the second half, we grabbed 15 minutes and mainly played on Frank's side."
Yang Cheng circled Ribery's area.
"Lambert and Alan Lennon should pay attention to entering the penalty area and hit the goal when they have the opportunity. Don't hesitate!"
Both men nodded.
Especially Alan Lennon, who missed an excellent solo goal opportunity.
"The midfielder has to press up, and the long-range shots from outside the penalty area are left to you."
Modric, Lars Diarra and Yaya Toure also all Got excited.
Especially Lars Diarra.
This guy is actually quite shy and introverted, but he really likes to attack.
Sometimes, players are like this, they have two faces on the court and off the court.
"Koscielny's task remains unchanged, and he still keeps an eye on Darren Bent."
The French defender nodded. "Remember, Cubishli will make a substitution in the second half, and he also has a high center forward Bartlet on hand."
“Before Bartlet has not played and Charlton has not changed to 442, our offensive and defensive tactics remain unchanged!”
Yang Cheng is giving instructions to the players in advance.
Once Bartlett comes up, Charlton will become 442, a double forward with one high and one fast, and the defensive tactics will have to be adjusted accordingly.
"I estimate that after the start of the second half, we will have at least a 15 to 20 minute window of time."
"Now, what I ask of you is, during this period of time, grab as many goals as you can for me!"
The players responded loudly.
......
Even if Yang Cheng has already concluded that the team can score in the second half.
But he still didn't expect that it would go so smoothly.
It was so smooth that he couldn't believe it.
It may be that the Bayswater Chinese suddenly launched an attack in the second half, especially the pressing pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, which caught the Charlton players off guard.
Only 30 seconds into the game, Modric completed a steal in the midfield.
Ribery took the ball on the left and faced two defensive players. He wanted to join the national team. The French winger who played in the World Cup just relied on his strong personal ability to win one on two. , dribbling the ball into the left side of the penalty area.
After entering the penalty area, Ribery did not kick off by himself, but chose to go down.
On the left edge of the small penalty area, the Frenchman brought out the central defender and sent a cross ball to the goal.
Lambert did not miss another opportunity and pushed the ball into Charlton's goal.
At this time, it was only 48 seconds before the second half kicked off!
Yang Cheng was stunned!
Kubishli cried!
He guessed that the Bayswater Chinese would counterattack in the second half and reminded the players to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, the ball was lost in just 48 seconds.
The Frenchman’s personal ability is so strong!
……
After taking the lead, the game became a one-man show for the Bayswater Chinese.
The visiting team, with high morale, suppressed the home team.
First it was Lars Diarra's long-range shot from the outside, then Modric's curve ball, and Yaya Toure's pass at the front of the penalty area...
In In the 54th minute, Berry made a very beautiful back-up pass in front of the penalty area. He was pushed to the ground by Luke Young, and the referee gave him a yellow card again.
This is already Charlton’s fourth yellow card.
Even so, Yang Cheng was still very dissatisfied with the referee's enforcement.
If it had not favored the home team, Charlton would have been sent off at least one.
In the 57th minute, Chimbanda moved forward on the right to support Alan Lennon in the frontcourt.
Lennon received a pass from Lars Diarra on the right rib outside the penalty area and calmly sent a through ball.
Lambert crossed the right side of the penalty area, caught up with Lennon's pass, and shot directly.
The ball was blocked by the goalkeeper and fell near the left post.
But just when Charlton fans were breathing a sigh of relief, Franck Ribery rushed over, faced the falling football, pushed it easily, and made a big deal!
The Frenchman was so excited that he jumped up and rushed out of the court to celebrate.
2 to 0!
“Franck Ribery scored another victory!!”
“My God, this is already the French winger’s two consecutive games with a pass and a shot!”
"When we played Chelsea in the first round of the Premier League, he just passed and shot."
"Today at the Valley Stadium, he still created 2 goals!"
"It's so impressive. Unbelievable!”
“Ribery is in very good condition, it’s unbelievable!”
The French scarred star rushed to the sidelines and was tackled by his opponent. Then he gave up.
The Bayswater Chinese players also chased after each other, and they all formed a pile of arhats on the sidelines.
Everyone seemed extremely excited.
Only Kubishli drooped his head and was in a very low mood.
Because he knew that he lost this game.
……
After taking a 2-goal lead, Yang Cheng took another look.
Especially after Cubishli replaced Bartlett and switched to a double forward.
After confirming that the team's defensive problems were not major, he began to make substitutions.
Including Ribery, Lars Diarra and Alan Lennon were substituted.
Ashley Young, Matuidi and Theo Walcott came on as substitutes.
Yang Cheng did this for no reason.
Affected by the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Premier League has compressed its schedule.
Three days after playing at Charlton, the team will leave for Manchester to challenge Manchester United away.
Next weekend they will face Black Cat Sunderland at home.
Double matches a week, and at the same time a visit to Old Trafford in the middle of the week, Yang Cheng must properly preserve his strength.
This is also the league point-grabbing strategy developed by Yang Cheng for the Bayswater Chinese.
Every point you deserve must be earned with all your strength.
When Charlton were playing away from home, Yang Cheng wanted to grab it.
Playing Sunderland at home, Yang Cheng also wants to grab it.
As for playing Manchester United away from home, Yang Cheng also hopes to win.
By the way, after replacing Walcott, Yang Cheng gave him a lot of freedom.
Coupled with Charlton's crazy counterattack, the Bayswater Chinese got a very good counterattack opportunity in the 83rd minute.
After Lambert and Ashley Young passed the ball in succession, they sent a through ball.
Walcott quickly penetrated the penalty area along the right rib.
The lightning speed leaves a huge impression on people.
And he was also very decisive in handling the subsequent shot, hitting the goal directly without stopping the ball.
Unfortunately, the shooting skills are a bit immature and the angle is too straight.
In the end, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Charlton Athletic 2-0 away from home.
……
On the evening of August 24th, Manchester Old Trafford Stadium.
In the third round of the Premier League, the Bayswater Chinese challenged Manchester United away.
This game, which attracted 72,519 fans, was full of mistakes from the beginning.
Only 25 seconds into the game, Manchester United center Ruud van Nistelrooy dropped back to receive the ball and sent a direct pass.
Just when Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo advanced at high speed, catching up with Ruud van Nistelrooy's pass, and wanted to go straight to Huanglong, the linesman raised his flag unceremoniously.
The referee Alan Willey blew the whistle, it was offside!
In the 3rd minute, Van Nistelrooy shot a long shot from the center 20 meters away from the goal.
The central defender Skrtel, who was responsible for marking him, turned sideways and blocked his shot.
In the 6th minute, it was Ruud van Nistelrooy's cooperation with Ronaldo on the right. When the Dutchman got the ball, he was decisively tackled by Skrtel.
Manchester United broke into the Bayswater Chinese penalty area for the first time in the 8th minute.
Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy completed a position change and appeared on the right.
The England forward tried to break into the penalty area, but was interfered by Danny Collins. On the right side of the penalty area, Jose Fonte, who arrived in time, scooped the ball out of the penalty area.
In the 11th minute, Danny Collins fouled while marking Rooney and gave Manchester United a free kick on the right side of the frontcourt penalty area.
Giggs calmly took the penalty, but Neuer easily confiscated it.
This was also Manchester United's first shot of the game.
In the 15th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy's long shot from the left side of the penalty area seemed to be the best footnote to Manchester United's offense after the start of the game.
soft!
……
Ferguson stood near the sideline from the beginning of the game and kept directing.
Including Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy's replacement.
But the effect is not ideal.
Yang Cheng still arranged a 433 formation, but the starting lineup has undergone great changes.
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defense: Danny Collins, Jose Fonte, Skrtel and Chimbonda;
Midfield : Andreasen goes deep, Inler and Lars Diarra are in the centre;
Forward: Ribery, Lambert and Ashley Young.
Ferguson only took one look at the starting lineup and could guess what Yang Cheng wanted to do.
But he is not afraid!
But when it came to the actual game, Ferguson was depressingly aware that Yang Cheng was taking control of Manchester United's offensive problems.
That's Ruud.
Manchester United adopted a 442 formation tonight.
Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar;
Defense: O’Shea, Wes Brown, Ferdinand and Gary Neville;
Midfield: Giggs, Roy Keane, Si Coles and Ronaldo;
Forwards: Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rooney.
Yang Cheng’s game strategy at Old Trafford tonight was to suppress the ball from the Manchester United midfielder.
Push the defense forward and force Van Nistelrooy to leave the penalty area.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is an efficient scorer and has scored in the first two rounds of this season.
But once he leaves the penalty area and no one passes the ball to him, his threat is greatly reduced.
While targeting Van Nistelrooy, Yang Cheng was more relaxed about Rooney.
Ferguson also noticed this just now, so he asked Rooney to switch to the right side, intending to let him cooperate with Ronaldo.
Unexpectedly, Danny Collins did not give Rooney a chance to insert into the penalty area.
This made Ferguson on the sidelines frown.
But just when he was actively thinking of ways to break through the Bayswater Chinese defense, the visiting team suddenly intercepted the ball in the midfield, and Inler sent a through ball.
Lambert rushed up after the football, but Van der Sar cleared the ball first.
What I never expected was that Van der Sar's clearance hit Lambert.
The Dutchman was so frightened that he immediately ran towards the goal.
Lambert himself was taken aback.
He also didn’t expect that pie would fall from the sky.
As a result, the response was slow.
Ferdinand quickly returned to defense and blocked the ball when Lambert adjusted his kick to hit the goal.
Ferguson was also shocked on the sidelines and yelled angrily at the players on the court.
"Cheer up, everyone!"
Damn it!
In the stands, the home team fans were also dissatisfied with the players' performance.
But Ferguson still made adjustments and signaled the team to play more steadily.
He guessed Yang Cheng's intention.
Relying on solid defense to block Manchester United's attack, they then used sharp counterattacks to create threats.
Or, wait for Manchester United to make mistakes themselves.
The entire Premier League knows that Manchester United's current defense is unstable.
That frightening moment just now is the best proof.
"We need a good central defender, a good midfielder, a good center..."
Ferguson muttered to himself.
He even had some doubts about whether Van der Sar, who had just joined, would also become a butter player?
This damn goal of Manchester United seems to be cursed!
……
Unlike Ferguson, Yang Cheng seemed very calm.
He felt that the team defended well after the game started.
“Manchester United’s problems in recent years have not been well solved.”
Brian Kidd saw that the situation on the field was stable and Manchester United’s offense was weak. The Chinese held firm and counterattacked, and he felt much more relieved.
"Beckham should not have been let go back then. Beckham's running ability, as well as his long passes and crosses, were far underestimated by everyone, including Ferguson."< br>
"Bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo to replace Beckham is a huge mistake!"
Yang Cheng was slightly surprised when he heard Brian Kidd's words.
If this were put into 2024, wouldn’t it be sprayed to death by countless fans?
What a violent argument!
But if it is now in 2005, it seems that this is really the case.
The problems that Manchester United are facing now are faced by all peak dynasty teams.
The group of legends who created brilliance are getting old, the new generation has not been able to take over, and the metabolism has been slow to advance.
Manchester United's biggest problem is actually in the midfield.
For the 442 formation, the midfielder is crucial.
In the past, in Manchester United's golden midfield four, Giggs was responsible for pushing forward, while Beckham provided wide range of running and precise passing from long distances.
When Beckham left, many issues that had been covered up were revealed.
Keane and Giggs are both old.
Especially Giggs, his ability to advance with the ball is much weaker than at his peak.
As a result, Manchester United's offense could not be played.
Strictly speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo at this stage is a very contradictory player.
Is the technology good?
Good, but not practical.
He plays on the right, and cannot advance with the ball like Giggs on the left, nor can he cross like Beckham.
Manchester United's midfield problem remains unresolved.
The terrible thing is that Ruud van Nistelrooy on the forward line is the kind of scorer who relies heavily on midfield passing.
In the past period, Ferguson made a very important signing.
Saha.
The French forward's ability to get the ball behind his back is very good.
The strategy Ferguson wants to adopt is similar to Chelsea's Mourinho using Drogba.
Since the midfielder is not good at delivering the ball, I will let the forwards withdraw to catch the ball.
But in this case, Ruud became the biggest obstacle.
Who is willing to give up a world-class center who can provide more than 20 goals almost every season?
Who has the courage to give up?
In Yang Cheng's previous life, Manchester United's revival began precisely with the sale of Ruud van Nistelrooy.
As a traditional scorer, Van Nistelrooy is synonymous with efficiency.
But in the face of the tide of the times, the Dutch are powerless.
The scene that best reflects Manchester United's problems was in the 28th minute.
After Rooney retreated to get the ball, under the interference of the Bayswater Chinese defensive players, he pushed the ball forward along the middle.
But he did not choose to hit the goal, but passed it to Ruud van Nistelrooy in front.
The Dutch were advancing at high speed, but due to interference from Skrtel, they were unable to control the football and had to stop.
A quick counterattack failed.
Just 1 minute later, after Lars Diarra successfully stole the ball in midfield, he quickly advanced with the ball and handed it to Ashley Young in time.
Ashley Young took the ball from the ribs and broke through to the edge of the penalty area. He shot low with his left foot and slid out slightly.
This counterattack also surprised everyone at Manchester United.
The Bayswater Chinese have proven time and again that they are not soft persimmons who only know how to defend.
As long as you seize the opportunity, you can give Manchester United a fatal blow!
……
Starting from the 30th minute, Rooney and Ronaldo took significantly more shots.
But Yang Cheng ignored them.
As long as they don't break into the penalty area and they like to shoot, let them shoot.
Whether it was in the past life or in this life, countless facts have proved that when it comes to indiscriminate ejaculation, Lu Xiaopang and President Luo are like twins, and no one should laugh at the other.
Of course, the Bayswater Chinese are similar.
The best chance of the entire first half appeared in the 43rd minute.
After Chimbanda successfully stole the ball from Ronaldo, he broke through along the right, reached the 30-meter area of Manchester United and then passed the ball.
This pass from the French full-back was really beautiful, and it was directly lobbed behind the Manchester United defense.
Lambert's consciousness also arrived.
He quickly moved forward and successfully countered offside.
And also stopped the ball.
But the final kick after stopping the ball, God knows how, he kicked it crookedly.
The football almost rubbed the outer edge of the right post and slid out of the baseline.
Lambert knelt down in the Manchester United penalty area and hit his head on the turf, looking extremely annoyed.
What else can Yang Cheng say on the sidelines?
“Too much pursuit of angles!” Brian Kidd expressed Lambert’s heart.
"Sometimes forwards need to relax. It won't work if they are too nervous, and it won't work if they pursue angles too deliberately!"
Yang Cheng was speechless.
…
The first half ended 0-0.
In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Ferguson decisively stepped up his offensive.
This put more pressure on the Bayswater Chinese defense.
Yang Cheng made no adjustments and continued the tactics of the first half, but it was already difficult to isolate Ruud van Nistelrooy from the penalty area.
In the 49th minute, Rooney sent a side kick. Gary Neville made a pass and tried to pass the ball to Van Nistelrooy in the penalty area, but Skrtel, who caught up in time, made the first move.
After that, Manchester United launched wave after wave of offensives.
The Bayswater Chinese team focused on defense.
Neuer also performed very well in front of the goal, first saving Ronaldo's long shot, and then intercepting Rooney's high ball passed to Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Especially in the 60th minute, Neuer first saved Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot from a small angle, and then immediately got up and saved Rooney's follow-up shot.
Two consecutive wonderful saves made the German goalkeeper shine again!
When Ferguson replaced Roy Keane and replaced Solskjaer, the game completely entered Neuer time.
Unwilling to lose points at home, Manchester United launched a crazy offensive.
Neuer is sitting in front of the goal, making high blocks and low passes, and his performance is getting more and more vigorous.
Especially after the substitutions, from the 66th minute to the 70th minute, in just 5 minutes, Neuer saved Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo, Solskjaer, Rooney and Gary Ney respectively. Weir's 6 shots.
Manchester United's fierce offensive did not come to an end until the 71st minute.
Gary Neville moved forward to participate in the attack, leaving Manchester United's defense on the right empty.
After the Bayswater Chinese intercepted the ball in midfield, Inle passed the ball diagonally to Ribery.
The Frenchman drove the ball straight into Manchester United's penalty area single-handedly.
Facing Ferdinand's defense, Ribery made consecutive fake moves and dunked past the Manchester United central defender. He fell to the ground when he dribbled the ball into the penalty area and threw himself forward in the penalty area.
Yang Cheng and everyone on the team agreed that it was a penalty kick.
Ribery also pulled his jersey at the referee, thinking that Ferdinand had committed a foul.
But the referee still refused to impose a penalty.
“From the slow-motion replay, Ferdinand did have a foul on his hands.”
“This is a penalty kick.”
"But the referee Willie let Manchester United go."
Yang Cheng also took this opportunity to make a substitution.
Modric, Dzeko and Yaya Toure came on as substitutes.
The Bayswater Chinese launched a fierce counterattack against Manchester United in the last 15 minutes.
This is also the strategy Yang Cheng formulated before the game.
Manchester United's midfield was empty after Roy Keane was substituted.
Faced with the Bayswater Chinese counterattack, Ferguson had to choose to avoid the edge temporarily even though he was reluctant.
Especially after the 85th minute, Yang Cheng's team was almost frantically besieging Manchester United's penalty area.
But in the end, the Bayswater Chinese failed to break through Van der Sar's goal.
0 to 0!
The two sides shook hands and made peace!
Although they were tied with Manchester United in the away game, the Bayswater Chinese received 5 pieces of good news the next day.
It can be said that five blessings come to your door.
