Chapter 93 Defending the League Cup! The first promoted team in history [Please subscribe]
What is the most important thing about a top coach?
Tactical literacy?
The ability to organize troops?
The art of conducting on the spot?
Tips for communicating with players?
Perhaps, among the many abilities, he has achieved the ultimate in certain aspects, and he can indeed be regarded as a world-famous coach.
But if you want to become a top coach, these are the most basic.
The most important thing is actually people!
Courage and responsibility!
Even in extremely difficult and difficult-to-make situations, you can always stick to the direction you think is right.
Things in the world are made, not chosen.
Just like Ferguson.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has had conflicts with Ronaldo for many years, but he has always suppressed them.
He understands Ronaldo's character and the Portuguese's competitive temperament, so he deliberately used this method to encourage Ronaldo to improve.
In the past few years, Cristiano Ronaldo has exercised like a paranoid maniac and developed that muscular body.
Ferguson always looked on with a cold eye.
Until recently, he abolished Ruud van Nistelrooy and supported Ronaldo.
Everyone thinks Ferguson is crazy!
This is definitely the craziest choice in the world!
That's Ruud van Nistelrooy!
So far this season, Ruud van Nistelrooy has scored 22 goals, and he is still the world's top center!
A player like this will be useless halfway through the season?
If we say that Roy Keane was abolished last year, it was because the Manchester United captain was old and could not be reused.
If Ruud is eliminated now, everyone will feel like they are cutting off their arms.
But that’s what Ferguson did!
When Cristiano Ronaldo had just shown his brilliance after transformation, he saw the huge potential contained in the Portuguese.
Doubts from the outside world?
Is it important?
Last season, the Bayswater Chinese coached by Yang Cheng always insisted on fighting on both sides of the League Cup and the English Championship, and even the League Cup affected the results of the English Championship several times.
This caused a lot of controversy and received a lot of criticism.
But what is the final result?
Because of the results in the League Cup, the Bayswater Chinese have completely transformed, and their entire spirit has taken on a new look.
Even this season, when facing Premier League teams, Yang Cheng and the players have no fear and dare to show their swords.
This is the meaning of insisting on the League Cup last season!
But all things are made.
If Ronaldo did not play out as Ferguson expected, but died after a sudden glimpse; if the Bayswater Chinese did not win the double last season, but lost the League Cup, Lost the right to advance again...
There is no doubt that both Yang Cheng and Ferguson will suffer infamy!
But can you not do it because you are afraid of being criticized?
The choice is before you, conservative or radical, no matter which choice you choose, there are risks.
The key is, after choosing, what do you do and whether you can do it!
Precisely because Yang Cheng and Ferguson are the same kind of people, he knows Ferguson's choice better than anyone else.
So, his defensive focus in this game is Ronaldo.
……
Manchester United used a 442 formation in this game.
Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar;
Defense: Silvester, Vidic, Ferdinand and Gary Neville;
Midfield: Park Ji-sung, Giggs, O'Shea and Ronaldo;
Forwards: Rooney and Saha.
New aid Evra sat on the bench.
This is also a clear sign.
Ferguson is still very wary of the Chinese wingers in Bayswater, especially Franck Ribery and Arshavin.
Yang Cheng still insists on 433.
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defense: Leighton Baines, Jose Font, Skrtel and Maicon;
Midfielder: Yaya Toure in deep position, Lars Diarra and Modric in the center;
Forward: Ribery, Dzeko and Arshavin.
Yang Cheng also sent his main force.
In contrast, Manchester United's midfielder does not have an advantage.
Giggs is obviously not comfortable playing in the middle. O'Shea is a defender. If he plays in the midfield, his running coverage ability is not very strong, but the worst thing is his passing ability.
Therefore, Yang Cheng is very confident that the team can suppress the opponent in the midfield.
Park Ji-sung on the left is more of a support midfielder.
The key node in the frontcourt is the first landing point.
If Saha is fighting for the first spot, Rooney will immediately go for the second spot.
Now Manchester United is still a typical 442. Cristiano Ronaldo is the right midfielder, positioned further back than the winger. This can maximize Ronaldo's back penetration and sharp speed advantage.
So strictly speaking, Ronaldo mostly takes diagonal lines and then inserts into the penalty area.
The wing was given to Gary Neville's backside.
For the Manchester United captain, this is considered his old profession.
This is how he played when he cooperated with Beckham.
Yang Cheng made a very targeted adjustment in this game.
Lars Diarra appears in the left center midfield position.
The most important task of the French midfielder is to entangle Ronaldo.
Just now, in Manchester United's first attack, Lars Diarra failed to entangle Ronaldo in time. Yang Cheng immediately walked to the sidelines to remind him not to worry about grabbing the ball all day long.
"Mission! Mission!"
Yang Cheng shouted loudly at Lass Diarra.
"If you lose the target of defense again, I will deduct your salary, one week at a time!"
Las Diarra blinked his dry lips and looked at the head coach with wide eyes. Like complaining, deduct a week?
Boss, you might as well force me to death!
The two have worked together for two seasons. Yang Cheng is true to his word, and he is both kind and powerful when dealing with Lass Diarra. This makes the French midfielder very convinced.
Now that he was threatening him with the money he valued most, Lass Diarra immediately cheered up.
Then look at Ronaldo, whose hair is neatly combed.
Is that still the target of defense?
No, that's pounds!
“Our boss asked me to keep an eye on you.”
When Lass Diarra approached Ronaldo, he said calmly towards the Portuguese.
"So, just cooperate with me and the 90 minutes will pass quickly."
After saying that, the French midfielder still grinned, feeling that he was still very kind.
"I will thank you."
The 21-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo looked arrogant, as if he was looking at an idiot, looking at Las Diarra, too lazy to Pay attention to him.
……
Soon, as the game restarted, Ronaldo gradually let go of his arrogance and began to take the opponent in front of him seriously.
He is confident in his speed.
But Lars Diarra is also fast.
At the very least, the French midfielder can barely keep up with his speed and rhythm.
This made Ronaldo's attempt to use speed to get rid of his opponent fail.
But it's okay, he has another trick.
Las Diarra is only 1.73 meters tall, but Ronaldo is 1.86 meters tall, a full 13 centimeters difference.
Not to mention that Ronaldo has been practicing for so many years and is confident in his body.
So, he began to change his methods and strategies, trying to suppress Las Diarra with his body.
Unexpectedly, although he is a bit short, he is very flexible.
Moreover, the French midfielder's physical confrontation ability is not bad at all.
The two even bumped into each other once, but Ronaldo failed to take any advantage.
What depresses Ronaldo the most is that this guy is very difficult to deal with when he is on defense, he is very clingy and he makes a lot of small moves.
Once he found that he couldn't block it, he fouled decisively.
Although Gary Neville also stepped forward to participate in the attack, there was Leighton Baines behind Lars Diarra.
This made the Bayswater Chinese's defense on the left very tight.
The most typical example is that in the 11th minute, Manchester United launched an attack from the right, and Gary Neville tried to pass a diagonal pass into the penalty area to find Saha.
Skrtel made a header to clear the ball.
The ball fell to the right, and Ronaldo got it first.
Las Diarra was right behind the Portuguese, sticking closely to him, refusing to let him turn around, and forcing Ronaldo to keep walking to the sideline.
In the end, he had no choice but to turn around and kick the ball to Lass Diarra, and it bounced out of bounds.
At this moment, Ronaldo has put away his contempt for Las Diarra.
Using this throw-in, Gary Neville quickly threw it onto the court, and O'Shea passed a long ball into the penalty area.
Rooney and Jose Fonte are competing for the top spot.
The Portuguese central defender made a header to clear the ball.
Yaya Toure grabbed the ball, and after being pressed by Manchester United players, he protected the ball and passed it to Modric in time.
The Croatian moved forward with the ball and planned a counterattack.
Manchester United's defense was very fast.
Ribery received Modric's pass and wanted to counterattack from the right side of Manchester United. As soon as he reached the 30-meter area of Manchester United, the Red Devils' defense had already retreated.
As a last resort, Ribery passed the ball back to Modric to reorganize.
Modric crossed the ball to Maicon.
The Brazilian was marked by Park Ji-sung, took a step horizontally in the middle, and sent a direct pass from the outside of his instep.
Arshavin received the ball on the right side of the outside of the penalty area with his back to the direction of attack, but Sylvester behind him did not give him a chance to turn around.
Maicon moved forward quickly, and the two wanted to make a cross and cooperate.
But Sylvester was experienced and judged it correctly. He tripped decisively and the ball was not picked up by Maicon.
Arshavin reacted quickly and immediately took action to protect the ball. Before Sylvester could take action again, he passed the ball to Dzeko. He was tripped by the Manchester United left back.
The referee immediately blew the whistle and gave the Bayswater Chinese a free kick in the frontcourt.
In the stadium, the Bayswater Chinese fans also cheered.
At this time last year, we faced Chelsea in this stadium that can accommodate 66,000 people.
In that game, the Bayswater Chinese only attracted about 10,000 fans.
But today, fans wearing Bayswater Chinese jerseys occupied almost half of the stands, enough to compete with Manchester United fans.
Janni Vio once again rushed to the sideline impatiently, calling the players non-stop and making various gestures and movements.
The live TV footage also captured this scene, as well as an interesting expression from Ferguson in front of the coaching bench next door.
Disgust, contempt... and a little fear.
Since playing in the English Championship last season, the Bayswater Chinese's free kicks have been very lethal.
"Let's take a look at the penalty this time, Ribery will take the penalty."
"Run-up."
"There is chaos in the penalty area!"
"Penalty Come out and hit the spot.”
“Skrtel grabbed the spot and headed to the back spot.”
"José Fonte header!!"
"The ball goes in!!!"
"1-0!"
"Critical moment, Bess Walter Chinese’s Portuguese central defender Jose Fonte hit the goal with a header!”
“Another set kick!”
"The current set-piece offense has become a very important offensive method for the Bayswater Chinese."
"Manchester United's situation is a bit dangerous now."
"In the first 12 minutes, the Red Devils Just concede a goal first.”
……
Watching his opponent score the first goal, Ferguson was furious.
Manchester United players also began to organize a counterattack.
But just 2 minutes later, the Bayswater Chinese launched a quick counterattack.
After receiving the ball in the middle of the frontcourt, Ribery got rid of O'Shea and was entangled by Vidic.
The Serbian central defender wanted to squeeze Ribery away with his body, but the French winger resisted Vidic and dribbled the ball all the way to the penalty area. Finally, before entering the penalty area, he was beaten by Vidic. He fell to the ground to tackle the ball and scooped the ball away.
Ribery also took advantage of the situation and fell into the penalty area.
Vidic was so frightened that he jumped up and shouted excitedly that Ribery had dived.
He patted his left hand desperately, signaling Ribery to keep holding his left hand.
“Judging from the slow-motion replay, Ribery did keep pulling Vidic’s left hand, so he was not squeezed away by Vidic.”
“In Vidic’s downfall When the ball hit the ground, Ribery had no time to let go and naturally fell to the ground."
"The referee Alan Willie did not call a foul, but signaled the game to continue."
"This is a very accurate law enforcement."
Yang Cheng smiled slightly on the sidelines.
He didn't care about how to judge.
It is unlikely that a penalty kick will be awarded in this situation.
After all, Ribery's whole body was stuck to Vidic just now.
What he cares more about is Vidic.
"Have you noticed that among the two central defenders, Vidic often rushes to the midfielder."
Brian Kidd nodded repeatedly, "I saw it, after all, we lost Roy. ·Keane, the midfielder’s defense and interception are much worse.”
But in this case, Ferdinand’s position will be closer to the center.
There is also Sylvester, who also often has to make up for Vidic's mistakes.
Gary Neville on the right often moves forward to participate in the attack.
When Yang Cheng thought of this, he was already very determined.
As long as the midfielder continues to maintain pressure, freeze Ronaldo, and block Manchester United's attack, relying on the counterattack ability of the Bayswater Chinese, Manchester United will definitely be finished!
……
Ferguson is the top world coach.
When he realized that Ronaldo was being locked up by a combination of Lars Diarra and Leighton Baines, he immediately made adjustments.
C Ronaldo began to appear on the left, facing Maicon.
But Yang Cheng immediately made a very disgusting change, allowing Lass Diarra to follow him to the right.
The main theme is the word "tangled".
Later on, the young Cristiano Ronaldo obviously broke through a little bit.
In the 40th minute of the first half, after being entangled by Lass Diarra and losing the ball, he pushed the Frenchman away and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
This made Ferguson shake his head as he watched from the sidelines.
“This kid is so damn disgusting!” Ferguson cursed angrily.
Quiroz, who was sitting next to him, was also speechless, but didn't say anything.
Because just before this game, Ferguson was still thinking about whether he could recruit Las Diarra.
Manchester United's midfield is currently extremely short of manpower.
Captain Roy Keane left the team after a falling out with Ferguson. Scholes suffered an eye injury and was never able to play in the game.
This means that Manchester United currently has no one available in the midfield.
That’s why the combination of O’Shea and Giggs was eliminated.
But as a result, the team's midfield passing is very problematic.
"Actually, if we signed Carrick during the winter break, the situation would be much better than now." Assistant coach Queiroz muttered.
Ferguson glanced at his assistant, blinked his lips, and said nothing more.
How didn’t he know that Queiroz was complaining?
From a technical and tactical point of view, Manchester United must buy people during the winter break.
Ferguson also wants to buy.
But the problem is, he has to have money.
Tottenham Hotspur Lions are open to buying people during the winter break. Want to buy Carrick?
“It can be clearly seen from the situation this season that whoever occupies the midfield will get the advantage.”
Queros naturally knows that Ferguson is not willing to talk more, but he I still want to further emphasize the importance of the midfield.
“Chelsea’s stability for two consecutive seasons relies on a strong midfielder, Lampard and Makelele. This season they have another Essien. Even if their midfielder is placed in European football , are second to none.”
"And I heard that they will continue to strengthen the midfield and are interested in Ballack."
"Liverpool's midfielder is also very strong. Gerrard and Xabi Alonso are both outstanding. , Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas has improved very quickly, and the midfielder formed with Gilberto Silva is also complementary in offense and defense. "
In the traditional Big4, the midfielder who is the most hip now is. Manchester United.
“The Bayswater Chinese have risen strongly this season and still occupy the top three positions in the Premier League. They also rely on a strong midfielder. Otherwise, their striker will not be able to achieve this. Ranking. "
Queros's judgment of the Bayswater Chinese is in line with Ferguson's impression.
This team's defense is good, but the offense is not so good.
The current top scorer is Franck Ribery, who has only scored 10 goals in the Premier League, and Lambert has scored 9 goals.
But the problem is, everyone knows that Lambert belongs to the "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" type.
Further down, there is Yaya Toure.
This Ivorian midfielder is really strong.
Modric, Lass Diarra and Yaya Toure, the Bayswater Chinese midfielder must be skilled and strong, and it is not even inferior to Chelsea.
But the most outrageous thing is that he is still young and has amazing potential.
The oldest Yaya Toure is only 22 years old.
Youth represents potential and their continuous progress.
Not to mention, they also have outstanding players such as Gerhan Inle, Andreasen and Matuidi on the bench.
"From the current point of view, as long as their midfield remains stable, their results next season will definitely be good." Queiroz said very firmly.
Looking at the entire Premier League situation, Chelsea's advantage will be further reduced.
Now, the big suspense is whether Arsenal can return to the top four.
If so, who will be squeezed out of the top four?
Baswater Chinese?
Judging from the performance of this past season, it is unlikely.
But it’s only one season.
"Do you think it's possible to poach Yaya Toure?" Ferguson asked, looking at the Ivorian on the court with envy.
Whether your ability is good or not can be determined by just one kick in the game.
At the age of 22, he can play like this. Within 2 years, this kid will definitely be a world-class midfielder.
"It's difficult, unless Yang Cheng is stupid." Queiroz shook his head.
Ferguson sighed.
He doesn't think Yang Cheng is a fool.
Judging from his past purchases and sales, the overall strength of the Bayswater Chinese has been steadily improving, and his results have also increased step by step, which proves that Yang Cheng has something in mind.
He knows who to buy from and who to sell to.
"I heard that at Christmas, Yang Cheng proposed to renew the contracts of several players. The highest weekly salary in the team would be increased to 20,000 pounds. This clearly means that he wants to retain people."
Small and Medium-Sized The way the team operates is obviously different from that of the wealthy team.
The wealthy teams have the confidence to argue with the players on salary and contract renewal.
But small and medium-sized teams cannot do that, they need more protection.
Renewing the contract in a timely manner can not only attract players, but also extend the contract period.
In this way, even if a wealthy team wants to poach players, they have to talk to the club and take the initiative in transfer negotiations.
Unless they are really determined to have a falling out, players will usually discuss it with the club.
"It's so enviable! The maximum weekly salary is only 20,000 pounds, and these players can work for them!" Ferguson sighed with a wry smile.
What does a weekly salary of £20,000 mean at Manchester United?
The middle reaches are not even considered. Rooney's weekly salary at Everton had already reached 30,000 pounds. After coming to Manchester United, it jumped directly to 50,000 pounds.
Vidic transferred from Russia with a weekly salary of 25,000 pounds.
This does not include Giggs, Gary Neville, Ferdinand and other stars.
The highest weekly salary for Chinese in Bayswater is only 6,000 pounds.
It’s really annoying to compare people to each other!
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bayswater Chinese’s business strategy is the most correct.
Take it one step at a time and live within your means.
Now, the maximum weekly salary has been increased from 6,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds, which proves that it will be further difficult to poach their players in the future.
……
In the second half, we changed sides and fought again.
Ferguson made a tactical adjustment during the halftime break.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo created some threats on both sides, he failed to achieve very good results.
The Bayswater Chinese's strategy of using the midfield to protect the defense put Manchester United's offense in trouble.
The wings could not be opened, and Manchester United's offense was forced to go through the middle.
As a result, Ronaldo, Rooney and Saha became crowded.
But they all need space.
In particular, the positional conflict between Ronaldo and Rooney was completely exposed.
How to allocate the positions, ball rights and responsibilities of the two young players has become a big problem for Ferguson.
At halftime, Ferguson tried to make an adjustment and asked Saha to go to the side. Rooney and Ronaldo became free roles between the midfielder and the forward.
Saha has a strong ability to take the ball with his back. He is responsible for taking the first point, while Rooney and Ronaldo use the second point to launch the attack.
This achieved very good results at the beginning of the second half.
In just about 10 minutes, Manchester United launched a wave of offensive.
Even in the 54th minute, through the cooperation of Giggs, Ronaldo, Gary Neville, Saha and others, Rooney got a chance to kick in front of the goal.
But Neuer saved the ball very bravely.
This gave Manchester United a taste of the sweetness.
Yang Cheng immediately made an adjustment, signaling Modric and Lars Diarra to retreat to protect Yaya Toure's flank.
The positions of Ribery and Arshavin were also withdrawn.
This is a bit of a defensive counterattack.
Just 3 minutes later, Arshavin made a breakthrough with the ball on the right and made a pass from the bottom, causing a mistake in the Manchester United penalty area.
When Van der Sar abandoned the goal and attacked, Ferdinand did not stop in time, but wanted to kick the ball to Van der Sar.
As a result, the football went straight to an empty goal.
Fortunately at the critical moment, the tall and long-legged Van der Sar turned around and punched the ball out of the goal, hitting the baseline.
This made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that the attack failed, the Bayswater Chinese compressed three lines, and Ferguson made a prompt decision.
In the 65th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy replaced Ronaldo.
This is also a signal to some extent.
Manchester United's general direction has been determined. If Ruud wants to stay, he needs to prove that he can play the role of a curious soldier.
But in fact, after coming on as a substitute, Van Nistelrooy performed very poorly.
The proud and arrogant Dutch people are probably holding a breath of anger in their hearts.
Even in the 76th minute, Jose Fonte fell to the ground and made a tackle in the penalty area, stealing the ball from Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Modric, who returned to the penalty area, grabbed the ball first, took it out of the penalty area, and passed it to Yaya Toure in front of him.
The Ivorian started immediately and strode forward with the ball.
“A quick counterattack by the Bayswater Chinese.”
“It quickly passed the halfway line and no one from Manchester United’s midfield stepped forward to intercept.”
"Let's see how we handle it this time."
When Yaya Toure dribbled the ball through the center circle and prepared to enter Manchester United's 30-meter area, a 4-on-3 situation quickly formed in the frontcourt.
Arshavin appeared on the left, Ribery on the right, and Yaya Toure in the center.
At the front is Dzeko, who ran to the right area outside the top of the key to respond.
Behind Dzeko is Ferdinand who is retreating at the back.
When seeing this scene, Yaya Toure realized the opportunity, especially when he saw Vidic attacking and O'Shea retreating.
"As expected!"
The Ivorian quickly passed the ball to Ribery on the left rib and accelerated forward.
Dzeko is also very smart. He was pestered by Ferdinand, so he simply stopped blocking his teammates from the outside. He ran to the middle of the top area.
As a result, a vacuum appeared between Ferdinand and Vidic.
When Yaya Toure sprinted forward, he saw this gap and immediately ran diagonally behind Vidic.
In this case, O'Shea must defend.
The Manchester United defender had no time to pay attention to what was behind him, he just followed Yaya Toure.
Don’t follow?
Ribery immediately passed the ball, and Yaya Toure was able to break into the penalty area and form a single shot.
But after following up, Ribery suddenly made a fake move, as if he was going to pass to Yaya Toure, but actually spiked the ball to the middle and sent a diagonal pass.
O'Shea, who blocked the top edge of the penalty area in time, failed to cooperate with Vidic to prevent Ribery from passing the ball.
The football went straight into the left side of the penalty area.
At this moment, for fear of being offside, Arshavin, who was always ambushing on the left side of the penalty area, quickly moved forward diagonally. After catching up with Ribery's pass on the left side of the penalty area, he kicked hard shoot.
After the football drew an arc, it gracefully crashed into the right side of Manchester United's goal.
Van der Sar can do nothing against such a shot!
"The ball is scored!!!"
"The Bayswater Chinese have another victory!"
"It's the new aid Arshavin again!"
"Critical moment , the young Russian attacker scored the second goal for the team.”
“Even, this is likely to be the goal that seals the victory!”
"Let's get to know this player again, Andrei Arshavin from Russia!"
The entire stadium burst out with shouts from the Bayswater Chinese.
30,000 fans rushed out of their seats crazily, cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs!
Last season, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Chelsea at this stadium.
But for that game, only 10,000 fans came to the scene.
But now, they have become one of the most competitive teams in the Premier League.
Even facing Manchester United, they can still win.
Even scored 2 goals in a row and took the lead!
Yang Cheng on the sidelines was equally excited.
Is this a useless building?
Maybe.
But for the Chinese people in Bayswater, they now very much need the endorsement of a champion!
As Adam Crozier and Omar Berada said before, the Premier League has a very strong appeal throughout Asia, but the Bayswater Chinese are the newly promoted teams in the Premier League.
So, the team needs more championships so that more fans can recognize this team!
……
When the referee Alan Wylie blew the final whistle of the game, the Bayswater Chinese players both inside and outside the stadium were all in a state of revelry.
The players on the bench rushed into the court crazily to celebrate with their teammates.
In the stands, the fans were cheering and celebrating the team's victory.
“The game is over.”
“Let us congratulate the Bayswater Chinese.”
"Successfully defending the League Cup is an affirmation of this newly promoted Premier League team."
"After the devilish Christmas schedule, winter break schedule, and most recently the devilish schedule in February, I believe that everyone Everyone has seen the resilience of this team.”
“Last year, many media people concluded that the Bayswater Chinese would not survive January, then it became February, and now it has become February again. In March, I believe that after this game, they should postpone the time again. "
"Yang Cheng's team is not perfect. They still have very obvious shortcomings and weaknesses. Their players are still very young, but we have absolutely reason to believe that this young team has already Have the skills to compete with the Big 4 in the Premier League The strength of arm-wrestling. "
"From defeating Liverpool 3-0 at home to defeating Manchester United 2-0 in the League Cup final, Yang Cheng's team has achieved amazing results in both the league and the cup. ”
"The most important thing is that the performance of the two new players Maicon and Arshavin left a deep impression on us after joining."
"They almost all connected seamlessly and both played quickly. "In today's League Cup final, they also showed very good strength."
In stark contrast to the carnival of the Bayswater Chinese. In comparison, Manchester United players seem unwilling.
As a veteran giant of the Premier League, Manchester United will not take other teams seriously at all.
Even Arsenal, an old enemy for many years.
As for Chelsea, they are just a tycoon who suddenly got rich. How many more years can they stay idle?
But since this season, the successive blows have made everyone at Manchester United feel very aggrieved.
Even the newly promoted Bayswater Chinese can ride on top of Manchester United. How can the proud Red Devils accept this?
Among the many disharmonious scenes, Yang Cheng noticed a very special scene.
After the game, Van Nistelrooy did not stay on the court. Instead, he lowered his head and walked directly out of the court and into the tunnel.
From beginning to end, he ignored the teammates around him, and no one went to say hello to him.
Even when he walked off the field, he did not go to the coaching bench to say a word to Ferguson.
When Yang Cheng saw this scene, he sighed secretly.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's time at Manchester United is over.
Sometimes when I think about it, it’s quite cruel.
But that’s the way professional football is.
While Yang Cheng was lamenting for Ruud van Nistelrooy, his players suddenly appeared from behind.
A group of people picked him up noisily and threw him into the air.
……
"Congratulations, Yang!"
After Yang Cheng celebrated with the players, Ferguson took the initiative to come over and shake hands with him.
"You performed better and deserved this championship."
"Thank you for your affirmation, Sir." Yang Cheng shook hands with Ferguson politely.
The two were quite familiar with each other in their previous lives, but now they are strangers.
Ferguson was interested in many things about the Chinese people in Bayswater, but it was difficult to ask.
Especially when he found out that Brian Kidd was coming over to celebrate with Yang Cheng, and when he saw the two of them retreating, Ferguson looked very embarrassed.
After saying hello to Yang Cheng again, he turned around and left.
Yang Cheng looked at Ferguson's back and then glanced at Brian Kidd hiding in the coaching bench, feeling funny in his heart.
As expected, he responded: A man will remain a boy until he dies.
In fact, the two old friends did not have too many conflicts. It was more that they had different opinions and career development directions in the early years, which led to conflicts between the two.
For example, Ferguson was very dissatisfied with Brian Kidd's decision to suddenly coach Blackburn.
I am also very dissatisfied with the fact that he communicated with the management behind his back several times.
Where is Brian Kidd?
He felt that Ferguson was stubborn and did not listen to opinions as he did before, and he was not taken seriously. At the same time, he was eager to go to Blackburn to prove himself.
Well, if there were all the problems at Manchester United before, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong.
Why did Ferguson step in when he was coaching Blackburn and his results were not very good and he was under pressure from public opinion?
In Brian Kidd's heart, without Ferguson's kick, he would not have been fired by Blackburn Rovers.
At least, not so fast.
Given him some more time, it is possible for him to turn the situation around.
Strictly speaking, the two of them had never quarreled at all, let alone fought.
But you just don’t want to see me, and I don’t want to see you. Are you like elementary school students who ignore each other and don’t talk?
After seeing off Ferguson, Brian Kidd and others quickly walked out.
Then there are Adam Crozier and Omar Berada.
Speaking of which, Xia Qing, as the club’s chief financial officer, has not yet appeared in public.
She once jokingly explained that she was in charge of money and was afraid of being kidnapped.
“With this championship, we will be more confident for our trip to Asia this summer!” Adam Crozier is now full of pride and ambition.
He wants everyone to know him again!
“I have already called the marketing department. In the next two or three days, we will launch a publicity war in Asia. With our current league ranking, plus this League Cup champion , is another newly promoted team, which will definitely arouse heated discussion among fans."
Yang Cheng nodded with a smile, "This is just the beginning, we still have two fronts, the League and the UEFA Cup."
Whether he is facing the media or the fans, he is determined to fight Chelsea to the end.
But after many years of coaching, he actually knew very well that it was unlikely to counterattack Chelsea in the league.
Unless Mourinho's team capsizes in the gutter.
But it is basically unrealistic.
After being stable for most of the season, he finally lost control for no reason?
I would definitely not dare to write a football novel like this, unless it is fantasy.
Yang Cheng’s goal is to ensure the top four in the league and at the same time try his best to hit the UEFA Cup.
The reason why he thinks so is not arrogant.
Among the teams that entered the top 16 of the UEFA Cup, he felt that there were not many stronger teams.
For example, Roma in Serie A, Sevilla in La Liga, and Schalke 04 in Bundesliga are relatively capable of posing a threat to the Bayswater Chinese.
As for teams such as Hamburg, Marseille, Udinese and Palermo, it’s not that Yang Cheng doesn’t pay attention to them, but he feels confident.
After losing Arshavin, Zenit St. Petersburg basically stopped in the top 32.
Taken together, Yang Cheng feels that there is a chance to compete in the UEFA Cup.
If we can really win the UEFA Cup, with the two championships of the UEFA Cup and the League Cup, plus the top four in the Premier League, this can be regarded as the most legendary newly promoted team in the history of the Premier League.
……
An interesting incident happened when the Bayswater Chinese received the championship trophy at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
The FA will drag Yang Cheng to the stage to receive the award this time.
And it was the FA chairman Geoff Thompson who personally came down to invite him.
According to Geoff Thompson, the Football Association was scolded by fans and the media last season.
No way, Maicon was owed a favor for his previous labor certificate and later when he rented Wembley Stadium. Can Yang Cheng refuse?
I could only obediently let Geoff Thompson hold my hand and go on stage to receive the award.
At this time, the audience burst into warm applause.
The live TV footage also captured Ferguson standing in the audience applauding after receiving the runner-up medal.
Actually, many media have misunderstood.
Ferguson has a coaching certificate, but after the UEFA reform, the early British coaching certificates were not recognized and needed to be re-study and re-certified.
At that time, all coaches in the UK were treated equally, and most of them took the exam again.
Of course, this is a symbolic, walking process.
But Ferguson just didn’t!
As a result, he is one of the few head coaches in England who still uses the old coaching certificate.
The FA and UEFA also turned a blind eye to this.
Yang Cheng's situation is different. He has never passed the exam.
I didn’t even go to class for a day.
This is very troublesome.
Whether it is the FA or UEFA, they actually have a headache about this.
Just give it to me, I am completely qualified, but the procedure is wrong.
Otherwise, Yang Cheng would never have a coaching certificate. The better his results, the more embarrassed they would be.
Before, someone from the coaching committee stood up and said that Yang Cheng should not be allowed to enter the stadium and sit on the coaching bench.
But who made England always have such a tradition?
For Yang Cheng, the better the team's performance, the less he wants to take the exam.
It would be so embarrassing if you fail the exam!
The most troublesome thing is that the better the Chinese people's grades in Bayswater are now, the more closely the media will focus on Yang Cheng, depending on whether you pass the exam or not.
So, the whole thing is just like this, just keep putting it off.
……
After returning to London from Cardiff, the team held a brief celebration ceremony outside Bayswater Stadium.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
The Bayswater Chinese also have a dedicated honor room.
However, there are currently only two League Cups in this honor room, one English League Two championship, one English Championship champion and one English Championship champion.
Less is a little less, but at least there is!
After the celebration, Yang Cheng also calmed down and held a meeting within the team to unify their thoughts.
Yang Cheng mainly warned everyone that winning the League Cup is over.
Everyone must re-energize and devote themselves to the next league and UEFA Cup games.
“The club will keep its promise of a bonus of 5 million pounds and will never default on it or make any discounts!”
Yang Cheng’s words still ring in my ears.
That night, all the players received remittances from the club one after another.
According to the previously agreed sharing method, the club gave each player a League Cup winning bonus as scheduled.
This is also Yang Cheng's consistent style after taking over the team.
No matter what, make sure players’ salaries and bonuses arrive on time!
The morale of the locker room was also boosted.
After the break, the team immediately ushered in the 28th round of the league, which was also the last game of the Devil's schedule.
Sit at home and face Manchester United!
During the team's break, the British media, in addition to hyping the Bayswater Chinese's championship, also broke two breaking news.
One is from the Mirror, which revealed that Ruud van Nistelrooy has decided to leave Old Trafford this summer.
Since the Dutchman still has a 2-year contract with Manchester United, his worth is expected to be 10 million pounds.
Currently, many wealthy teams, including AC Milan and Real Madrid, are very concerned about Ruud van Nistelrooy's whereabouts.
Also another star player in the transfer market, German midfielder Ballack has long decided not to renew his contract with Bayern Munich and will leave the team on a free transfer this summer.
This has caused the pursuit of many wealthy teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, and Chelsea.
The Sun revealed that Ballack has basically finalized his next home and will move to Chelsea after the World Cup.
“With Ballack basically finalizing his move to Chelsea, Ferguson has set his sights on Bayswater Chinese’s young midfielders Yaya Toure and Lass Diarra.”
"Also on Ferguson's signing list is Thomas Carrick from Tenham Hotspur and Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich "
"Of these four midfielders, Manchester United vowed to win two of them to make up for this season. The weak link in the midfield, fight for the Premier League championship next season! ”
The Chinese in Bayswater ignored the rumors from the outside world.
That night, at Loftus Road Stadium, the two teams started their second bloody battle in a short period of time.
This time, the Bayswater Chinese did not give in at all. They took advantage of their home court advantage and frequently attacked Manchester United, creating threats many times and forcing Manchester United to take defensive counterattacks.
In the 59th minute of the second half, it was a quick counterattack by Manchester United. After Rooney pulled to the right to receive a pass from Ronaldo, he passed the ball from the right into the penalty area. Ronaldo rushed all the way and rushed to the goal, overwhelming the old man. Teammate Jose Fonte scored with a header.
1 to 0!
After losing the ball, Yang Cheng decisively stepped up his offensive.
In the 73rd minute, Ribery, Modric and Arshavin made consecutive passes on the left side of the penalty area, tearing apart Manchester United's defense.
Arshavin made a wonderful pass to Lambert and fired an angry shot from the top of the penalty area.
After Van der Sar saved the ball, Ribery followed up with a follow-up shot.
1 to 1!
But the Bayswater Chinese were unwilling to settle for a draw and were still attacking.
The second update is here! Defending League Cup champion, please give me a monthly ticket! ! Thank you!
