Chapter 102 Best Coach of the Season! At this moment, he was protecting the ball like Henry! [Please subscribe]
Before the start of the new season, the Bayswater Chinese got a good thing.
In the selection of the best coach of the Premier League in the 2005/06 season, Yang Cheng defeated famous coaches such as Mourinho, Ferguson and Wenger and won the best coach of the season.
The Player of the Season went to Henry, who has moved to Barcelona.
The French forward was the best scorer in the Premier League last season.
Therefore, Yang Cheng was the only one attending the FA awards ceremony in Soho Square.
Originally Yang Cheng didn't want to go because he didn't have a coaching certificate. What kind of coach was he?
There is no way. The FA wants him to go. The chairman and CEO have made several calls. It would be a shame not to go.
Sometimes I think about it, they are indeed difficult enough.
Based on the performance of the previous season, does it make sense that the best coach is given to Mourinho?
Chelsea, who are rich and wealthy, won a Premier League.
As a newly promoted team, Bayswater Chinese won the Premier League runner-up, League Cup champion and UEFA Cup champion, a veritable double crown!
Give it to Yang Cheng, it's logical, but the problem is, he is not qualified to win the award.
In the list submitted by the Bayswater Chinese, the head coach position is written by Brian Kidd.
This really stumped the FA.
So when Yang Cheng received the award and sat in the press conference hall to be interviewed by media reporters, the first question he asked was that the Sun reporter said that the FA had told them before that they were not allowed to ask about coaching qualifications. Certificate related matters.
"Excuse me, what do you think of this approach of the Football Association? Is it an obstruction to freedom of speech?"
The audience burst into laughter.
It’s so awesome!
Yang Cheng turned around and saw that Geoff Thompson and Brian Barwick were about to get under the table.
"You know, the problem is mine."
Yang Cheng seemed very generous and took the blame first.
He is the protagonist of this conference. It is harmless for him to take the blame. On the contrary, it can win a good impression of Geoff Thompson and Brian Barwick.
Of course, he is also the culprit.
"I think maybe we can discuss it. I will take the exam. If, I mean just in case, I fail the exam, you are not allowed to report it." Yang Cheng was very honest.
There was another burst of laughter.
But a reporter immediately asked, "Are you accusing the FA, thinking that the coaching training courses are out of touch with practice? Otherwise, how can you explain that you have such good results in leading the team but failed the coaching training exam?"
Yang Cheng also smiled.
It is really pitiful to have such a group of paparazzi ancestors.
Soon, the FA spokesman changed the topic.
After all the messing around just now, the atmosphere at the scene became more lively.
On weekdays, they interview a group of middle-aged people, even old men.
Who would interact with them like this?
Yang Cheng left a good impression on them.
The topics that reporters care about are always the players and the new season.
Regarding the new season, Yang Cheng said that he is still full of confidence.
“I know that Chelsea has introduced three superstars, Shevchenko, Ashley Cole and Ballack, as well as powerful stars such as Bollarus, but I want to say that if we only rely on If you can win games and championships by stacking stars, is football still interesting?”
Yang Cheng’s words won the approval of many media reporters at the scene.
But there are also some reporters who want to cause trouble and deliberately dig holes for Yang Cheng, asking him if he thinks Chelsea will repeat the mistakes of Real Madrid after introducing three superstars, and there will be problems in the locker room?
Some media reporters pointed out, does Yang Cheng think that this season’s Premier League championship will no longer belong to Chelsea?
Yang Cheng has held so many press conferences, so of course he will not jump into it.
He avoided all the pitfalls one by one.
As for the players, Yang Cheng still said the same thing. Ribery's departure did have an impact on the Bayswater Chinese.
“But the overall strength of our team will not be weakened. On the contrary, we will be stronger than last season!”
Yang Cheng’s confidence comes from the average age of the team.
Bayswater Chinese are mostly young people. They have grown up in the past season, which means that the overall strength of the team is improving.
This is also the advantage of a young team.
Of course, Yang Cheng refuted some outside opinions that were unfavorable to the Chinese people in Bayswater.
Many people say that the Bayswater Chinese's performance last season was an accidental outburst and will be brought back to its original form this season.
“How we perform, everyone will definitely see it in the new season!”
"We also welcome more fans to Wembley Stadium. You will see an attacking Bayswater Chinese team that is different from other Premier League teams!"
… …
Yang Cheng’s interview quickly spread throughout the UK and Europe.
For his remarks, the media and fans gave different evaluations, including praise and criticism.
Yang Cheng ignored it.
In the first round of the league this season, the Bayswater Chinese faced Middlesbrough at Wembley Stadium.
Interestingly, the head coach of Middlesbrough is the future head coach of the British Empire, Mr. Nanguo, uh, no, Mr. Southgate.
He is also the legendary captain of England.
This is the first official game of his coaching career.
Yang Cheng can only say, wish him good luck!
Two days before the first round of the game, Bayswater Chinese released the club's long-prepared official football culture promotional video on multiple platforms such as the official website and Youtube.
The short film is based on the stories of Ribery, Modric and Harry Kane.
One was unfortunately disfigured in a car accident and was bullied by everyone around him; the other was a sheepherder who suffered from the war; the other was hit by obstacles everywhere because of obesity...
But all three of them were There is a common belief, they all love football!
The background music of the short film is the Bayswater Chinese team song [Dream It Possible].
As the song slowly flows, the three lines in the short film intertwine back and forth, allowing everyone to feel their hardship, persistence and perseverance, as well as their belief in never giving up.
The short film is made by a film director. The lens language is very powerful, the narrative is also very complete, and the emotions conveyed are also very full. People follow the short film and the team song, and their emotions are constantly progressing. , and then progress.
When the three finally gathered at the Bayswater Chinese, the entire short film ushered in an emotional explosion.
The climax of the song at the end is accompanied by the film director’s editing of Ribery, Modric and others playing in the Premier League and UEFA Cup, and Harry Kane playing in the youth team. , the whole process of training and losing weight.
Everyone was completely moved, and the blood all over their bodies seemed to be on fire!
As an American user on Youtuobit commented after watching the short film, "My whole body was on fire after watching it! I really want to play football!"
"Where is this Chinese restaurant in Bayswater? I think Going to watch the game!" said another.
“The filming was great. I wet several tissues with tears.”
“Upstairs, why are you crying?”
“Get out, labor and management. It’s a woman.”
"Oh my god, this short film was so well shot. Is there really such a person in real life?"
"Of course there is! That team upstairs is in the Premier League!"
" I can’t believe that football is so inspiring.”
“As a British person, I am very proud that we have football, and I also want to pay tribute to our friends in the United States. To put it bluntly, this Bayswater Chinese team created a dark horse miracle last season. They won the Premier League runner-up and the League Cup and UEFA Cup double championship as a newly promoted team! They are the most legendary dark horse in the history of the Premier League!”
“Yes, support upstairs! Chinese football in Bayswater is always so exciting!”
"I will never tell you that I held a season ticket for Bayswater Chinese last season and posted a picture, hehe..."
"It's a pity that Ribery transferred to Bayern. ."
"Who makes the Bayswater Chinese still weak? If you give them a little more time, they will definitely do it. It will become stronger.”
“I got the power conveyed by the short film! Come on, Bayswater Chinese!”
“Although the name of this club is weird, But the short film looks good and I like their football culture.”
"Why don't they come to the United States? If they come, I will definitely buy a vote to support them!"
"Oh my God, is that little sheepherder who has experienced the war really playing football? Is he good?"
“Of course he’s awesome. The guy upstairs, his name is Luka Modric. , the captain of the Bayswater Chinese!"
"Touch poor Modric! I hope there is no war in this world!"
"Their head coach said that Modric will become The best midfielder in the world! ”
"Incredible, that will be a legend!"
"Yes, not only him, this club will also become a legend!"
"Stop talking, everyone, keep talking, I almost want to go to England. Damn it, why don’t we have such a team in the United States? "
"I'm from France. There is also a very legendary team in France, Auxerre. Have you heard of it?"
"Oh, God, I Googled it specially. For a moment, the Bayswater Chinese actually existed, and I thought they were fake. ”
"I am in London. After watching the promotional video of Bayswater Chinese, I bought season tickets for my whole family, not many, 5 copies. I hope Bayswater Chinese will continue to cheer for the new season!"
"I also bought a season ticket and recommended it to my colleagues around me. We are all young people and we like A team that loves young people!”
“I’ve seen their news, that young talented coach is so handsome!”
……
“Oh shit, If I had known earlier, we should have urged the publicity video to be released as soon as possible.”
On the morning of the first round of the Premier League, Adam Crozier came to Yang Cheng's office.
As soon as I walked in, there was a burst of complaints.
"What's wrong?" Yang Cheng was a little strange.
In the past two days, he was immersed in preparing for the first round of the new season and ignored what was going on outside the window.
“Our promotional video went viral on the internet.”
"It's popular?"
"Yes, I was originally worried that I wouldn't be popular, but unexpectedly, it became popular immediately."
Yang Cheng was a little unconvinced, "It became popular all over the Internet?"
“It’s not that exaggerated, but many people have watched it, and the comments are very positive. Everyone is forwarding it, and guess what, how are our season ticket sales going?”
“ Exploded too?" Yang Cheng laughed immediately.
"It has exceeded 30,000, and according to background data, most of the fans who have booked tickets in the past few days are young people."
Yang Cheng really didn't expect that there would be such a benefit?
"Then seize the opportunity quickly, take the opportunity to push again, and try to attract more fans."
Adam Crozier nodded, "I have already arranged this, this popularity To continue, it is equivalent to spending money on advertising."
Yang Cheng nodded, it is true.
The key is not just this time.
If fans buy it this time, they can promote it accurately next time.
“I feel that when the Champions League group stage draws are drawn, we can make a big push.”
The current situation of the Bayswater Chinese is that the tickets are the lowest in London. , even lower than Queens Park Rangers, who are relegated from the British Championship.
Why?
Attracting popularity!
There are actually many ways to increase the price of football tickets.
The key is to attract more fans first.
No one came in to watch, so all the talk was in vain.
After the Champions League group stage draws are drawn, the attraction of the European war will encourage more interested fans to attend.
In terms of ticket price design, buying Champions League tickets separately is actually quite expensive.
This is also the consensus of all Premier League teams.
But if you buy it together with the Bayswater Chinese season ticket, it will be a good deal.
“We also need to pay more attention to the Internet. Nowadays, many young people like to surf the Internet. We must follow this trend.” Adam Crozier said.
Yang Cheng nodded, "Nowadays young people don't like boring games, so we will play more unrestrained and aggressive in the new season, and strive to keep all the fans who come to the stadium."
This is a kind of accumulation.
Who makes the Chinese people in Bayswater have such a weak foundation?
The first round of the league is about to start, and Adam Crozier will not disturb Yang Cheng.
After seeing off the CEO, Yang Cheng was also happy.
For the first round of the Premier League, Yang Cheng also did his homework.
Gary Worthington's scouting team had already arranged for people to track Middlesbrough's warm-up matches, and the submitted report showed that Southgate's tactics were still 442.
This made Yang Cheng very emotional.
Can’t entirely blame Southgate.
After the dismissal of England national team coach Eriksson, Middlesbrough’s head coach last season Steve McLaren took over the national team, and Southgate took over McLaren. Lun's class.
Naturally, he also continued the 442 tactics from last season.
"Don't blame me, Nanmen, you have to pay tuition to be the head coach!"
......
Since the second half of last year, before every home game, Bayswater The Chinese will invite Adele to sing the team song, and sometimes this British girl who loves to sing will sing a few more songs.
She has also been reported by many media for this reason, and she is somewhat famous.
Later, some record companies began to decide to sign her and began to prepare records for her.
But before that, Adele was still the British girl who loved to sing.
So, in the new season, she still followed the Bayswater Chinese and came to Wembley Stadium to sing.
The big screen in the stadium is playing the club's football culture promotional video on a loop, while Adele's penetrating singing voice is also floating.
The British girl was also very grateful to the Chinese people in Bayswater for giving her this opportunity. She also knew that the ticket sales at the venue were not very good and the club was worried about being left out, so she sang a few more songs and sang a few more songs specially. Choose the more explosive songs to inspire the passion of the fans at the venue.
According to official statistics from Bayswater Chinese, there were only about 35,000 fans attending this game.
This is what the club can currently mobilize and all the fans.
It can be said that for the first game of the new season, the Bayswater Chinese have used all their strength.
Except for the Seven-Injury Fist trick of giving away or discounting tickets, all available methods were used.
That’s all!
Most of the fans are concentrated in the stands at both ends behind the goal.
The reason is that the tickets at these two ends of the stands are cheaper.
This resulted in the stands on both sides being very empty, and the atmosphere at the scene was not getting better no matter how you looked at it.
There is no way, there are 35,000 people in the stadium with 90,000 people. It is strange that the atmosphere can be good.
Both Yang Cheng and Adam Crozier were mentally prepared for this situation.
This kind of thing can only be done step by step and slowly.
The most difficult thing in the world is to take money out of consumers' pockets.
……
When Adele was singing hard in the middle of the pitch, Middlesbrough head coach Southgate, who had just watched the team warm up, was standing in the corner. The tunnel entrance listened.
After listening to the Bayswater Chinese team song, his first reaction was that it sounded pretty good.
But singing before a football game is simply grandstanding.
Especially when he saw the empty stands opposite.
This game started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was only after 2 o'clock at this time. The sun was shining slantly on the opposite stand, so many fans avoided the middle seats, resulting in most of the entire stand being occupied. All empty.
“It’s ridiculous that you have to wear such a big hat if you don’t have such a big head!” Southgate said with a sneer.
English players of their generation have a very special feeling for Wembley Stadium.
Even if the new Wembley Stadium is overturned and rebuilt, they are not willing to lease it to a club for long-term use.
It is also a club for foreign investors.
Okay now, is it a joke?
The attendance rate was less than half.
This is simply a disgrace to Wembley Stadium!
What?
Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium also suffers from poor attendances?
A stadium with a capacity of 35,000 people can only seat 20,000 people?
Please, what does this have to do with my criticism of the Chinese in Bayswater?
Well, well, although some lower-level league play-offs or cup finals will be held at Wembley Stadium, with lower attendance, they are not rented after all.
The Chinese in Bayswater are like thieves!
The same goes for spending money!
Thinking of this, Southgate felt proud.
In the next game, I, Gareth Southgate, will definitely rectify the name of English football!
I want to lead Middlesbrough and defend the glory of Wembley!
……
In the home team's locker room at Wembley Stadium, Yang Cheng was playing a short video to all the players.
That was edited from multiple platforms such as You Tu Turtle, and was a comment after watching the football culture promotional video.
There are many comments in it that are quite touching and really well said.
Well, say more next time.
Yang Cheng translated them all and conveyed them to the players in the locker room.
And he stood alone, silently.
The tactical board behind them is the starting lineup of Bayswater Chinese and Middlesbrough for this afternoon's game.
The Bayswater Chinese still insist on the 433 formation.
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defense: Leighton Baines, Jose Fonte, Pepe and Maicon;
Midfielder: Yaya Toure in deep position, Modric and Lars Diarra in center;
Forwards: Arshavin, Dzeko and Ashley Young.
Pepe, who has just arrived, started in the first round of the league, which is a bit risky, but Yang Cheng also has a reason.
At the beginning of the Premier League, there are double matches a week. There is also a game in the middle of the week, and the team needs to be rotated.
Middlesbrough adopts a 442 formation.
Goalkeeper: Schwarzer;
Defense: Julio Alka, Bogaerts, Rigot and Parnaby;
Midfield: Downing, George Boateng , Fabio Rosenbach and James Morrison;
Forwards: Dave Kitson and Viduka.
After moving to Middlesbrough, Kitson performed well in the Premier League, forming a double forward with Viduka.
Just now, when the two teams entered the field to warm up, Kitson came over to say hello to Yang Cheng and his familiar Bayswater Chinese teammates.
But later, when we get on the court, no one will be polite.
The reason why Yang Cheng arranged for Pepe to start is actually because Kitson is very familiar with the Bayswater Chinese central defender.
On the contrary, it was Pepe, whom he had never seen before.
After the players finished reading the comments, Yang Cheng slowly walked over.
"After reading it, what do you think?"
Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
But no one answered him.
“Let me say, I feel that the pressure on my shoulders is heavier.”
“Most of these netizens on the Internet are not here at this moment, but They may be sitting in front of the TV watching our game live.”
"Somewhere in the stands, maybe one of the netizens you read commented on is sitting there, looking forward to seeing our performance. They are looking forward to us giving them a wonderful victory."
“A hearty football feast!”
“Guys!”
Yang Cheng opened his arms and spun around, his eyes sweeping across Every player around.
“You are all personally selected and trained by me. I know each of you, not just your technical characteristics, not just your personality, but also your past!”
"I know that each of you is holding a lot of energy in your heart, and you are eager to let the world see you!"
"I know even more that you can go to this day and enter this stadium. What a difficult thing it is.”
“It’s precisely because I know that I want to sue. Tell you, don’t leave any regrets to yourself, to the fans outside, or to the netizens who follow us on the Internet!”
“I have never doubted that our team will create new things again and again! History! ”
“Will shock the whole world again and again”
...
When the players from the two teams entered the stadium, everyone felt the solemn expressions on the faces of the players from the two teams.
Obviously, the head coaches of both teams were mobilized in the locker room.
The moment the players from both teams stepped onto the court, they were like a group of warriors stepping into a gladiatorial arena.
As soon as the game started, the two teams immediately launched a fierce confrontation.
Although Middlesbrough was playing away from home, Southgate's team was not timid at all. Instead, they took the lead and tried to seize the initiative in the game.
Especially in just 1 minute and 38 seconds of the opening, Kitson hit a heavy shot with his left foot from the right side of the penalty area after a pass from midfielder James Morrison.
But this shot was firmly held by Neuer.
It can be clearly seen that Kitson has become significantly more confident after playing in the Premier League. The Bayswater Chinese didn't start as aggressively as Middlesbrough.
After all, it is the first round of the new season.
It’s still home court.
Yang Cheng’s task for the team is to control the ball and rhythm after the opening.
This is also the advantage of the Bayswater Chinese, and it is what the team is best at.
As long as we control the ball, everything will be fine.
After Middlesbrough fired the first shot of the opening game, they were quickly suppressed by the Bayswater Chinese.
Especially the midfielder.
The midfielder composed of Yaya Toure, Modric and Lass Diarra were all trained in the Premier League and UEFA Cup last season.
Not to mention Middlesbrough, they have a slight advantage against Manchester United and Chelsea.
In the 6th minute of the game, the Bayswater Chinese conducted a zone defense attack near the midline.
Yaya Toure used his strong body to knock down Rosenbach who was holding the ball, and shoveled the ball to Lars Diarra who was returning to defense.
After the French midfielder stopped the ball, he turned around and handed it to Modric.
Modric passed the ball directly forward without stopping.
Dzeko turned his back to the direction of the attack, blocked Bogaerts with his body, stopped the ball, turned to the right, and passed diagonally to Ashley Young on the right.
“The Bayswater Chinese counterattack.”
"Ashley Young takes the ball on the right."
"There is no one on his side to defend and there is a chance."
"Ashley Young takes the ball to the right of the penalty area On the other side, Julio Alka comes to defend."
"Let's see how Ashley Young handles it this time."
"It's time to pass to the bottom line. ”
"Ashley Young made a pass!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the scene.
But Arshavin, who responded from behind, failed to grab the spot, and Parnaby, who returned to defense in time, blocked the bottom line with a kick.
This ball is very dangerous.
I almost made an own mistake.
"Ashley Young deliberately slowed down and took the ball to the bottom line just now, just to wait for Arshavin and Dzeko to come up."
"It's a pity that a very good opportunity was missed."
"Corner kick for the Bayswater Chinese."
“We saw that Bayswater Chinese coach Gianni Vio also came to the sidelines to direct.”
“He is not just taking free kicks now, it seems that he is Even corner kicks require an offensive routine.”
"There are people in the penalty area."
"Both teams attach great importance to this corner kick."
"Ashley Young takes the kick."
"Let's see where we end up this time."
"The referee blew the whistle."
"There is chaos in the penalty area."
"Back point!"
"Have a chance!"
"Yaya Toure headers the goal!"
< br>“The ball went in!!!”
"I just said, Gianni Vio comes out to direct, there is a chance for this ball!"
"Yaya Toure!"
"Only 6 minutes into the game, the Bayswater Chinese Just with the opportunity of a corner kick, Yaya Toure suddenly ran around, Avoiding the dense front and center, heading the goal from an unmanned back point!”
“A very clever corner kick tactic”
“No one expected it. , Yaya Toure will move around the crowd.”
"This start is very exciting!"
"The Bayswater Chinese got a dream start!"
"1 to 0!"
Although, Wembley The attendance at the stadium was very low, but more than 30,000 fans were cheering at the same time, and the noise was still loud.
This made Southgate in front of the visiting team’s coaching bench feel particularly harsh.
He was a little depressed and couldn't figure out why Yaya Toure was missed?
What happened in the restricted area just now?
Unfortunately, the live game is not live on TV, and there is no slow-motion replay.
But the score on the scoreboard has become 1-0!
Southgate quickly walked out of the command area, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted to his players, asking them to cheer up and only concede one goal. It doesn't matter.
"Come on! Come on! Hold on, let's get this ball back!" Southgate shouted.
It's like he's still on the court.
Next door to him, in front of the home team's coaching bench, Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and high-fived Yaya Toure and others who came back from celebrating the goal, and also applauded the players loudly.
“Go all in, press forward, don’t give our opponent a chance to breathe!”
“Up! Up! Up!!”
"Try to score their goal again!"
When Andrei Arshavin passed in front of him, Yang Cheng even grabbed the Russian in front of him.
"Do you still remember what I told you on the day the summer training camp opened?" Yang Cheng asked seriously.
Andrei Arshavin nodded heavily and looked at his head coach again, with a sharp edge in his eyes.
“I won’t be that cat fattened by butter!”
After saying that, the Russian resolutely turned around and walked back to the court.
Behind him, a smile appeared on Yang Cheng's lips.
Very good, Andre, then prove it to me!
......
Early before the summer training camp, after Arshavin returned to London from Russia, Yang Cheng specially had a chat with him.
That chat was quite long.
My life in the past six months since I came to London, from family to football.
The Bayswater Chinese did a really good job with the placement and tried their best to solve all of Arshavin's problems.
His English has also improved rapidly. Not only in the team, he can also communicate with others in general.
Arshavin was quite satisfied with everything.
But that’s not the point of this conversation.
During the conversation, Yang Cheng mentioned some of the team's plans.
Ribery had not transferred yet, but Yang Cheng told him in advance that the Frenchman would definitely transfer.
The only difference is which team you go to.
“This is Frank’s own decision. He is eager to prove himself on a broader stage. We respect his choice.”
Arshavin was actually not surprised by this.
He guessed it.
Then the purpose of this conversation is...
As expected, Yang Cheng said it quickly.
“We need you, Andre!”
"After Frank leaves, we need a new offensive core with super strength."
"You are the best candidate in our team!"
Although, Arshavin At that time, I was mentally prepared, but I still felt very excited.
He himself is a relatively emotional person, and this feeling of being valued and needed by others makes him addicted to it.
This is true from Zenit to Bayswater Chinese.
Therefore, he told Yang Cheng that he would try his best!
At the end of the conversation, Yang Cheng also told Arshavin a fable he had never heard before.
There was a family that had mice in their house, so they bought a cat.
This cat is so good at catching mice that all the mice are frightened.
The owner also likes and trusts it very much, and gives it his favorite food as a reward for catching mice.
The mice hiding in the hole shivering knew that the cat liked to eat butter, so they tried their best to steal more butter and put it in front of the cat.
The cat enjoyed the offerings of the mice with peace of mind, and ate the butter that was readily available without restraint.
Gradually, it becomes fatter and fatter and lazier.
I don’t know when it started to lose its speed, lost its keen sense of smell, became very clumsy, and liked to doze off. Many times, it even curled up directly on the owner’s sofa and fell asleep. .
There are more and more mice in the house. The cat tries hard to catch them, but he can’t catch them.
The master tolerated it at first, but gradually he couldn't stand it anymore.
Finally one rainy day, they couldn't bear it anymore and drove the cat, which had been fattened by butter, out of the house.
Standing in the rain, the frustrated fat cat reluctantly looked back, only to see the mouse hole under the closed door, and groups of mice were waving goodbye to it.
Yang Cheng didn't tell him why he told him this fable, and he didn't know the source of the prophecy.
But Arshavin tasted more things from the fables, and secretly warned himself.
I won’t be that cat fattened by cream!
……
The game starts again.
The Bayswater Chinese took advantage of their one-goal lead and continued to attack Middlesbrough.
Whether it is at the center or on both wings, they are actively pressing and pressing.
At the same time, opportunities are constantly being created.
In the 14th minute, Arshavin and Modric had a clever one-two on the left rib, reaching the left side of the arc and firing a furious shot with his right foot.
Slightly off.
Just over 2 minutes later, Arshavin took the ball from the left, created a foul and got a free kick in the frontcourt.
Unfortunately, this time the free kick was passed and Dzeko's header went high.
The Bosnian center still needs to practice his headers.
In the 19th minute, Arshavin received Modric's pass from the left again. Between the two Middlesbrough defensive players, he skillfully dribbled the ball inside and brought the ball out. And sent a cross pass to the right side of the top area of the arc.
Las Diarra followed up and fired angrily.
Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer dived sideways and directed the long shot straight to the lower right corner of the goal, saving the baseline.
Corner kick.
Ashley Young took another corner kick, but this time Pepe's header went high.
The Bayswater Chinese attack was overwhelming.
The pace of the game is also very fast.
This aroused the emotions of the fans at the scene and made them all excited.
Although there were not many people and the venue was relatively empty, the fans’ exclamations, applause and cheers came one after another and continued continuously.
Middlesbrough had a quick counterattack in the 23rd minute.
A long pass was passed to the feet of Viduka in the frontcourt, and then passed to Dave Kitson.
As soon as Kitson got the ball, he was closely marked by Pepe.
The England center first wanted to use his body to suppress Pepe, but it turned out that Pepe's physical strength was not even half as good as his, and even forced him to go to the left before he could barely get it. ball.
But after holding the ball firmly in the left corner of the penalty area, the offensive range is much smaller.
This new kid is not simple!
Subsequently, Kitson ended Middlesbrough's counterattack with a hasty long shot.
Just one minute after Kitson's counterattack failed to threaten, the Bayswater Chinese stole the ball in the backcourt and launched a quick counterattack.
Modric dribbled the ball into the center circle of his own half. After seeing George Boateng pounce on him, he sent a through pass to the back of Boateng.
Dzeko retreated from the frontcourt, stopped the ball in the gap, turned around, and sent a kick from behind.
I saw the football accurately penetrated between right back Parnaby and center back Rigot.
Arshavin ran forward at great speed and caught up with Dzeko's pass from the outside of the left corner of the penalty area. Just as Middlesbrough's goalkeeper decisively rushed out of the penalty area, he wanted to put it behind him. Shovel the ball out.
The Russian took the lead. After dunking the ball like magic, he moved forward with his left foot and avoided Schwarzer's sliding tackle. At the same time, he firmly controlled the ball under his feet. , rushed into the penalty area.
All this happens in the blink of an eye.
No one even saw clearly what footwork Arshavin used.
But what is certain is that he passed Schwarzer directly.
Ligot sprinted towards the goal.
But Arshavin's shot beat him one step ahead and entered the Middlesbrough goal line.
“The ball is scored!!!!”
“In the 25th minute, Andrei Arshavin scored another victory for the Bayswater Chinese!”
"The offensive is overwhelming!"
"We saw that in today's game, the Bayswater Chinese's offense was very sharp, threatening Middlesbrough's goal again and again."
< br>"Especially the attack just now, the connection between Modric, Dzeko and Arshavin penetrated Middlesbrough's defense."
"2 to 0!"
……
After scoring two goals in a row, the Chinese people in Bayswater were very popular and stepped up their attack on Middlesbrough.
As the team's head coach for the first time, Southgate's reaction on the spot was obviously a little late and failed to make timely adjustments.
This led to Middlesbrough experiencing dangerous situations again and again in subsequent games.
In the 33rd minute, Dzeko received a half-high ball from Yaya Toure, stopped the ball with his chest, protected the ball with his body, and passed it back to Modric.
The Croatian sent a diagonal pass.
After Arshavin got the ball between the two defenders Parnaby and Rigot, he dribbled the ball forward.
With excellent and skillful personal skills, Arshavin dribbled the ball all the way and broke into the left side of the penalty area.
Under the constant watch of Parnaby and Rigot, the Russian suddenly came to an emergency stop, and his whole body stopped abruptly.
Panaby couldn't stop his momentum and rushed over.
Ligot was slower, but he stopped immediately.
But Arshavin then made another fake move to shoot with his left foot, which deceived him into blocking it without thinking.
Unexpectedly, the Russian dunked the ball lightly and swung his right foot in place to hit a volley.
The ball drew an arc, passed Schwarzer's head, and fell into the right side of the goal behind him.
In an instant, Wembley Stadium once again burst into cheers from the fans.
“Arshavin wins again!”
"Scored twice!!"
"My God, the Russians performed extremely well today!"
"3 to 0!"
"I am simply I can’t believe that the Bayswater Chinese performed so well in the past period!”
“Their ball possession rate reached 72.8%”
"The number of shots also reached 11 times and 3 goals were scored."
"This is simply unbelievable!"
......
Yang Cheng saw this After Arshavin scored twice, everyone jumped up with excitement and clapped loudly for the Russians.
Looking at the visiting team’s coaching bench again, Mr. Nanmen is nowhere near as arrogant as he was before the game started.
At this moment, I was already furious.
However, no matter how stupid he was, he realized at this time that he needed to adjust.
If we don’t adjust and continue to play like this, we will really get a big score.
"Middlesbrough's defensive problem is very big, the defenders are too slow." Brian Kidd laughed.
Yang Cheng nodded.
The defenders here are Parnaby, Rigot and Bogaerts.
Among them, Rigot and Bogaerts, as central defenders, are slow and inflexible, which is very common in the Premier League.
As a right back, Parnaby is also relatively slow, which is a bit unusual.
Originally their left back was Frenchman Frank Kjuulu, but after his outstanding performance last season, he was bought by Fulham at a high price.
Therefore, this game can only be replaced by Argentine left midfielder Julio Alka.
With Ashley Young's assist just now, Alka obviously lost his position.
Everyone thinks that Yang Cheng will focus on attacking Julio Alka.
But Yang Cheng just hit Arshavin's side.
The Russian did not live up to his expectations and proved his strength with a brace.
“This kid is very emotional, very sensitive and delicate, and he also needs more care and love.” Yang Cheng said to Brian Kidd.
The latter had been cooperating with Yang Cheng for three years and knew that he was talking about Arshavin.
Yang Cheng told Brian Kidd that Arshavin had an unfortunate childhood.
His parents divorced early, and he lived alone with his mother, living in poverty.
Later, even his mother passed away, leaving him alone.
People who experience this kind of experience often desperately need affection deep in their hearts and long for the attention of those around them.
But on the outside, they will behave extremely arrogantly, even a little indifferent, as if they don't care about anything.
Some people say that Arshavin is a literary youth.
Yang Cheng felt that he was a pitiful person.
In his previous life, the way Wenger treated him was simply unreasonable, especially putting him on the bench in the hope of admonishing him, which was of no use to Arshavin.
What he needs is trust, not suppression.
This kind of suppression will amplify his inner insecurity and then amplify his negative emotions.
Of course, Wenger is an extremely rational and calculating person. Under the pressure of performance, even if he knew it, he might not be willing to give Arshavin such trust and support.
......
If Southgate was stunned in the first half, then after the transition in the last ten minutes of the first half, he obviously slowed down in the second half. The moment came.
He began to understand his situation clearly.
Therefore, he took a defensive posture.
At halftime, he replaced Julio Alka with Andrew Davis to strengthen the defense.
A series of substitutions followed.
In Yang Cheng's memory, Middlesbrough really improved this season when they rented Woodgate back from Real Madrid before the end of the transfer period, which strengthened the defense.
But today, at Wembley Stadium, he was finished.
In the 70th minute of the second half, Yang Cheng replaced Arshavin with young player Walcott.
This is a matchup substitution.
Yang Cheng asked Walcott to play on the left, leaving Arshavin with some energy to play in the midweek league.
The little tiger who came on the bench used his speed and breakthrough to constantly tear apart the opponent's defense.
In the 79th minute, he first used his personal dribbling to break into the penalty area from the left, creating a dangerous situation.
In the 84th minute, Walcott stopped the ball with his back on the left side of the penalty area, protected it, turned around flexibly, stopped suddenly, started, and made a pass.
At this moment, his ball protection really looks like Henry!
Dzeko in the middle followed up and pushed the ball into the Middlesbrough goal.
4 to 0!
When the little tiger celebrated the goal, his whole body jumped on Dzeko's back and danced with excitement.
He is only 17 years old!
Sorry, sometimes I type too fast and pass by without paying attention. When reviewing, I may miss some places, but I will pay attention to it in the future! Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you! !
