Chapter 105 The Legendary King! The fastest goal in the Premier League [Please subscribe]
A stable and strong team is one that can win steadily no matter how difficult the situation is.
Even if the performance is not as good as the opponent in the whole game.
That's what Manchester United is like.
The Red Devils, who have many international players, are troubled by the training of the national team. The Champions League will be ushered in midweek. Ferguson has to make rotations and adjustments, so in the fourth round of the Premier League, they will face Tottenham Hotspur at home. In the game, Manchester United performed very average.
But in the end, the Red Devils defeated Tottenham 1-0 at home with Giggs' goal in the 9th minute.
The same is true for the Bayswater Chinese.
In the home game against Manchester City, Yang Chengxue hid many main players.
Unlike Manchester United, the Bayswater Chinese suppressed Manchester City by relying on their midfield advantage.
Blue Moon played defensive counterattacks throughout the game.
Defenders Distin, Dunn and Micah Richards all performed very well.
But the Bayswater Chinese scored a goal with a frontcourt free kick in the 32nd minute by Jose Fonte.
In the end, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Manchester City 1-0 at home.
Chelsea is even more interesting.
In this game, Mourinho placed Shevchenko on the left wing, hoping to continue the 433 strategy.
As a result, the Ukrainians behaved like shit.
In the end, Chelsea narrowly defeated Charlton Athletic 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Drogba and Carvalho.
Arsenal and Liverpool are miserable.
Liverpool was in the same city derby and lost 0-3 to Everton away from home.
Arsenal drew 1-1 with Middlesbrough at home.
Some people say that after moving into the new stadium, the Gunners encountered the curse of not winning at home.
Actually, it’s just two rounds of home games.
But the Gunners' start was really unsatisfactory.
After 4 rounds of games, Manchester United leads the way with 4 consecutive victories. Portsmouth, Everton and Bayswater Chinese are ranked 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively. All three teams are 10 point.
Chelsea scored 9 points.
Liverpool fell to 8th place.
Arsenal dropped to 11th place.
……
On the evening of September 13th, Wembley Stadium, London.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Bayswater Chinese faced Sporting Lisbon at home.
The 37-year-old Portuguese young coach Paulo Bento entered this magnificent English football palace with confidence.
He has long wanted to find an opportunity to take a look at this super stadium that cost nearly 800 million pounds, or 1.2 billion euros.
But as soon as he entered the venue, frankly speaking, he was a little disappointed.
According to the news he received before the game, the number of fans attending this game reached 50,000.
It seems like a lot, but standing in the stadium and looking up, there is still a lot of empty space.
The atmosphere in the stadium was not very good either.
On the other hand, the female singer who sang before the show had a very clear voice and the songs were very nice.
I don’t know what its name is.
This is the first European competition of Paulo Bento’s coaching career!
It is also his first full season coaching Sporting Lisbon.
The Portuguese Super League has played 2 rounds so far, and Sporting Lisbon has won two consecutive games.
This time to challenge the Bayswater Chinese away from home, Paulo Bento came with the determination to win!
It’s really bad to draw the death group.
With the strength of Sporting Lisbon, it is very difficult to compete with top giants like Real Madrid and Bayern for the right to qualify.
So, Paul Bento’s plan is to fight with all his strength, but to keep the top three no matter what.
Then we must kill the Bayswater Chinese!
He specifically watched the 4-0 match in the European Super Cup before and felt that many media exaggerated it.
Anyone who really knows football knows that Barcelona is completely out of shape and the players' physical fitness is seriously lacking.
Paul Bento feels that with this intensity of Barcelona, if his Sporting Lisbon team can play better and score more goals than the Bayswater Chinese!
Even on the road, Paulo Bento still insisted on their 442 diamond midfield tactics in Portugal overtime.
Goalkeeper: Ricardo;
Defence: Marco Canela, Anderson Polgar, Toner and Abel Ferreira;
Midfielder: Miguet Veloso trailed behind, Nani and Leandro Romanoli were separated on the wings, Moutinho advanced;
Forward: Reidson and Yannick Jallow.
The home team still adopts the most familiar 433 tactics.
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defence: Leighton Baines, Jose Font, Pepe and Maicon;
Midfield: Yaya Toure in deep position , Modric and Lars Diarra in the center;
Forward: Arshavin, Lambert and Ashley Young.
Paul Bento just warned his players in the locker room that they must try to control the situation and suppress their opponents at the beginning of the game no matter what.
"This is their first time playing in the Champions League, and they are so young. They will make mistakes sooner or later."
"And that Pepe, he played very irritably in the Portuguese Super League."
< br>"José Fonte was in my The Bayswater Chinese just went there because they couldn’t stay in their youth training camp!”
“Even if we are on the road, we have to score their goal first!”
“Kill them! ! ”
Paul Bento's words really boosted the morale of the players.
When we walked out of the stadium, everyone held their heads high and their spirits high.
But...
...
"Whoop!!!"
Accompanied by a burst of exclamations from the fans in the stadium, Lambert suddenly hit a long shot that flew directly out of the stadium and landed in the stands, causing a stir among the fans in the opposite stands.
“In the 36 seconds after the opening, the Bayswater Chinese took the first shot.”
“The fast break was good this time.”
“From the right. Ashley Young's cross was very accurate, and Lambert volleyed it directly without suppressing the ball. "
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Yang Cheng was vigorously cheering. The players clapped, indicating that they should continue to press forward and maintain the pressure on Sporting Lisbon.
Ashley Young's nickname is Yang Zuoshi, also known as Yang But. His most powerful weapon is of course the cross that even he himself can't predict.
But I am afraid that few people know that in fact, his fame at Watford and Aston Villa relied precisely on his crosses.
In the 07/08 season, Ashley Young had 17 assists, second only to Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas.
And ranked third in the number of crosses from the wing, with the highest cross accuracy rate in the Premier League, and is a veritable king of crosses.
As for why I went to Manchester United and lost this unique skill.
Just ask Manchester United.
Yang Cheng’s strategy for this game is to use the home court to directly destroy Sporting Lisbon.
Let this Portuguese Super League team feel what Premier League speed is!
……
After the restart, the two teams fought fiercely in the midfield.
Sporting Lisbon usually has 4 people in the midfield.
It is said to be a diamond-shaped midfield, but in fact it is not a big diamond, but a small diamond.
Nani’s active area is more on the left rib.
The current football trend, using the big diamond shape, is basically courting death.
Yang Cheng put Lars Diarra on this side.
When the game reached the 3rd minute, Jose Fonte spotted the right opportunity and suddenly chose to rush forward, successfully getting ahead of Yannick and intercepting Moutinho's pass.
The Portuguese central defender did come from Sporting Lisbon, and he has always remembered his experience in the Sporting Lisbon youth academy.
This made him even more motivated and wanted to prove his strength.
After intercepting the ball, he took two steps forward and passed it to Arshavin on the left rib.
The Russian stopped the ball sideways, picked over Abel Ferreira, and quickly dribbled the ball to initiate a counterattack.
But as soon as he entered the 30-meter area of Sporting Lisbon, he was fouled by Tonel, who arrived in time, and blocked the left side of the 30-meter area.
Free kick!
Leighton Baines ran over quickly and stood near the penalty spot. After placing the ball, he slowly backed away.
At this time, four tall players, Jose Fonte, Pepe, Yaya Toure, and Lambert, all rushed into Sporting Lisbon's penalty area.
It was at this moment that Paul Bento, who was in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, started to get nervous and shouted loudly to the players, asking them to cheer up and pay attention to the players they were marking.
The height difference is huge.
Anderson Polgar and Toner are both in their early 18s.
Whether it is height or strength, there is no advantage at all against these Bayswater Chinese players.
And that damn Italian coach came out and gave random instructions again.
Paul Bento had an ominous premonition and cursed in his heart.
Leighton Bynes made a quick run-up and delivered a graceful arcing free throw.
There was chaos in the penalty area, with players running back and forth.
As a result, for some reason, Jose Fonte was missed.
I saw the Portuguese central defender take three steps and two steps at a time, rush forward quickly, jump up, header the ball from close range, and forcefully hit Leighton Baines' football in the middle. Into the Sporting Lisbon goal.
The whole stadium erupted instantly!
Just over 3 minutes into the game, the Bayswater Chinese took the lead to score!
“Goal from Jose Fonte!”
“This Portuguese central defender came from Sporting Lisbon’s youth academy, but he has never been called up by the first team. On a free transfer, he joined Bayswater Central Chinese. "
"Now, with a wonderful header, he submitted an answer to his youth training team."
"In the past three years since he came to England, His progress is obvious to all.”
"Although he is not a top-notch central defender in the Premier League, he has always been the backbone of the defense that Yang Cheng trusts very much."
"And just 3 days ago in the league, it was also Jose Fonte's The header gave the Bayswater Chinese 3 points!”
Jose Fonte scored in two consecutive games and performed very well.
But after the celebration, before walking back, he did not forget to wave his arms towards the fans in the stands, indicating that they should be more passionate.
This drew bursts of cheers from the fans in the stands.
…
With the first goal, the game quickly entered the fast lane.
Although it is a group match, away goals are not valued.
However, Sporting Lisbon came tonight with the mentality of grabbing 3 points.
So, after conceding the ball, they changed their previous thinking and started to play more actively.
The Bayswater Chinese did not make too much concessions. They suppressed in the midfield and interspersed in the frontcourt. In addition, the two full-backs also actively intervened, and the offense took off.
This wave of offensive battle is not only fast-paced, but also the passing coordination between the two teams is good.
What followed was a goal.
In the 16th minute, Jose Fonte and Pepe, who have been in great form recently, made a coordination error while defending.
After receiving the ball, Nani quickly broke in from the left rib. After a wonderful pass, Moutinho broke into the penalty area and broke Neuer's goal.
1 to 1!
The two sides returned to a draw again.
But just 6 minutes later, Ashley Young broke through with the ball from the right and passed in. Lambert in the center overwhelmed Sporting Lisbon's two central defenders and headed the ball into Sporting Lisbon's goal. .
2 to 1!
The score is exceeded again!
The back-and-forth offensive battle between the two sides was very exciting, and the fans at the scene also enjoyed watching it.
But inside the stadium, the two teams still refused to give in.
Sporting Lisbon is still trying to find ways to equalize the score.
Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, always encouraging the players to continue attacking and apply more pressure.
Sporting Lisbon is still not convinced yet!
He will not retreat until he is convinced!
But both sides fought fiercely.
Sporting Lisbon's Reidson, Moutinho and Veloso all received yellow cards.
The Bayswater Chinese also received 2 yellow cards, which were given to Pepe and Yaya Toure.
These five yellow cards were all obtained between 25 minutes and 40 minutes, which shows how fiercely the two sides fought during this period.
And in the 41st minute, the Bayswater Chinese completed a steal in the midfield.
When Modric passed to Lambert, the England center did not stop and was stabbed away by Toner.
But the ball fell to Arshavin's feet.
The Russian dribbled the ball from the ribs into the left side of the penalty area. Facing goalkeeper Ricardo, he pushed the ball lightly and sent the ball into Sporting Lisbon's goal again.
3 to 1!
At this point in the game, the situation has become clear.
In the second half, Paul Bento really learned his lesson and began to restrain himself.
Sporting Lisbon began to pay more attention to defense, using Nani and Yannick to counterattack.
But Yang Cheng made adjustments accordingly, requiring the team to steadily control the rhythm and ball possession.
During the period, while the Bayswater Chinese were making substitutions, Sporting Lisbon once wanted to attack.
But with two counterattacks by the home team, they almost scored, but they were immediately retracted.
Yang Cheng glanced at Paulo Bento on the sidelines and his expression was really ugly.
"I guess he should have understood the situation now!"
In this group of death, the only ones who are qualified to play on the card table, apart from Real Madrid and Bayern, are Bayswater. Chinese.
Sporting Lisbon?
Come back to your Portuguese Super League and play!
……
After the first round of the Champions League group stage, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Sporting Lisbon 3-1 at home and got off to a good start.
The British media was not too surprised by this team's victory.
It would only be news if they were upset by Sporting Lisbon at home.
After last season, everyone basically recognized the strength of the Bayswater Chinese.
Bayern defeated Real Madrid 2-0 at home with goals from Ribery and Pizarro.
This is a very surprising thing.
After Yang Cheng finished playing Sporting Lisbon, he specially found the game video and watched the game.
After all, these two teams will be opponents of the Bayswater Chinese.
As a result, he discovered something particularly strange.
Capello developed a set of 442 tactics.
The defense is Carlos, Cannavaro, Ramos and Cicinho.
How did you lose the first ball?
It was Bastian Schweinsteiger's cross from the right. Cannavaro and Ramos failed to stop Pizarro and he pushed it in.
Real Madrid's two central defenders are not tall.
Pizarro is actually only 1.84 meters tall.
This kind of thing is not based on data, but on comparison.
What Yang Cheng can’t understand the most is the midfielder and frontcourt.
Cassano, Mohamed Diarra, Emerson and Beckham.
Up front is Raul's partner Ruud Ruud.
“Why are all the good things taken away by Bayern?” Yang Cheng felt speechless.
Capello’s lineup looks like it won’t be able to beat Bayern.
No wonder his team, whether it is Roma or Juventus, can only play tricks in Italy.
When I arrived at the European competition, I was taught how to behave in minutes!
Why?
In what age are you still playing like this?
At the very least, what’s your speed?
Okay, you don’t want speed, that’s fine, then do you have the skills?
In the Galaxy Battleship era, at least there was smooth passing coordination and creativity, right?
The personal abilities of superstars are no joke.
What?
No?
Shit, what do you have?
The answer is, nothing.
Therefore, they were fooled by Bayern Munich in the first half.
Yang Cheng really wanted to grab those Bayern forwards and ask them, you really wasted the few goals Ribery gave you.
Given the situation in the first half, Yang Cheng would not be surprised even if Real Madrid scored five or six goals.
But in the second half, Capello adjusted, defended more firmly, and replaced Reyes and Robinho.
Now there is speed.
"You see, even when trailing 0-2, Capello still refused to use his double midfielder. Mohamed Diarra and Emerson played the whole game. After 65 minutes, they had changed their formation 4231." Brian Kidd reminded.
Capello replaced Cassano, Beckham and Raul, and replaced Reyes, Guti and Robinho.
"Real Madrid's defense is too stretched, and Capello doesn't dare to take risks." Yang Cheng guessed Capello's thoughts.
After a pause, Yang Cheng showed a confident smile.
“However, after watching this game, I suddenly knew how we should play in the next round of group matches at the Bernabeu!”
…
On the afternoon of September 16, in the fifth round of the Premier League, the Bayswater Chinese visited Bramall Lane to challenge Sheffield United.
When the referee Andre Marriner blew the whistle to start the game, no one could have guessed what would happen in the next football match.
Including the Bayswater Chinese themselves.
Dzeko kicked the ball to Arshavin in the center circle and ran forward quickly. .
This is the head coach's arrangement before the game.
He hopes that the team can launch an opening attack in this game.
Moreover, Sheffield United's central defender Jagielka is not tall, and Roger Johnson is a former teammate of Dzeko who is very familiar with him. He knows how to deal with them.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina center quickly rushed towards Jagielka, completely ignoring the ball path behind him.
Sheffield United's defensive players are paying attention to Dzeko.
Arshavin passed Dzeko's pass directly back to Yaya Toure who was trailing behind, and he quickly ran forward.
Not only him, Ashley Young on the right has already rushed forward.
Inle and Modric are also moving forward quickly.
When Yaya Toure received the ball, the Sheffield United striker was still a little far away from him, but the Ivorian stopped the ball with his left foot, turned sideways, and sent a pass with his right foot, which was passed to the goalkeeper. Man's left.
Leighton Bynes quickly caught up, stopped the ball, and looked up ahead.
When he saw Dzeko rushing towards Jagielka, he swung his left foot and kicked a long pass.
Leighton Baines' long pass is fast and sudden.
At this moment, Sheffield United's left back David Unsworth has not had time to retreat to a position level with the defense.
But the ball has already flown over.
The England defender raised his head to judge the landing point, but there was really no way to retreat.
He is 1.87 meters tall, and he is relatively bulky. He is also 32 years old, and his speed has long been weak.
As a last resort, he could only take a gamble. When there was no way to retreat, he jumped up to fight for the top.
As a result, the ball almost rubbed his hair and fell behind him.
Ridiculous!
Almost at the same time, Dzeko quickly cut to the left side of Jagielka, blocked Jagielka with his body, and tried his best to squeeze him towards the penalty area.
Jagielka was only 1.8 meters tall. He was disadvantaged by his size and his body was not advantageous. He was pressed by Dzeko and was unable to move. He could only hold the opponent tightly and try to stay between Dzeko and the goal.
This is all he can do.
When the football landed, Dzeko stopped the ball firmly with his left foot.
Dzeko stopped the ball with his left foot. Although Jagielka is a right-footed player, he could not reach it at all.
I saw that as soon as Dzeko stopped, he didn't look behind him at all. He pushed Jagielka with his right shoulder as his chest, dribbled the ball with his left foot, and entered the penalty area.
Jagielka was not an easy man, so he immediately chased after him.
When he saw Dzeko about to take a kick, he immediately stepped out to prevent him from shooting.
What I didn’t expect was that the Bosnia and Herzegovina center feinted a shot, but actually dunked the ball back with his left foot.
At this moment, Jagielka’s back was exposed.
Dzeko spiked the ball with his left foot and sent a cross pass with his right foot.
Until this time, Roger Johnson and Chris Mogan arrived belatedly from the middle, but they were unable to get the pass.
On the right side instead.
Ashley Young, who had been ambushing near the sideline just now, suddenly rushed forward, got ahead of everyone, faced Dzeko's pass, and fired a furious shot with his right foot, piercing Bennett. Guard the goal!
It was not until this moment that the audience burst into exclamations from Sheffield United fans.
Then the referee Marina's whistle sounded that the goal was valid.
The whole audience burst into boos.
“My God, I can’t believe it!” “In the opening 13 seconds, no, strictly speaking, it was 13 seconds 45. The Bayswater Chinese took the lead in breaking through Sheffield United’s goal. It only took 13 seconds. 13 seconds! ”
“Goal from Ashley Young!”
The England winger was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium. Running wildly in celebration.
Dzeko and the others chased him out one after another, all celebrating obliviously.
A goal was scored in the first 13 seconds!
Is there anything faster than this?
“This is not actually the fastest goal in the Premier League, but it is probably the fastest goal this season!”
“Sheffield United’s start was a little careless. ”
"Of course, we also have to see that Leighton Baines' long pass is indeed quite beautiful."
"Dzeko's physical confrontation has also improved a lot compared to last season. We can see that Until he firmly suppressed Jagielka."
"The difference in height and weight between the two is there."
"This goal was too sudden and shocking. Surprised.”
Yang Cheng was also very surprised.
He let the team start the attack, but never expected to score so quickly.
This kind of goal is simply not something that the head coach can calculate.
……
Goal scored 13 seconds into the game, which is a good thing.
But what Yang Cheng paid more attention to was the wave of attacks after the opening.
Precisely because of this goal after the opening, Sheffield United obviously paid more attention to it, which caused their subsequent defense to be very tight.
Sheffield United's head coach Neil Warnock is an old rival in the British Championship. He was well prepared for this game and even adopted a 442 defensive counterattack tactic.
But in the 25th minute, the goal was finally opened by the Bayswater Chinese.
That was a wonderful pass from Modric.
Dzeko suppressed Jagielka with his body, stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area, got ahead of Roger Johnson, and volleyed the goal.
2 to 0!
Faced with the Bayswater Chinese's style of play, Sheffield United really had no good solution except to further strengthen its defense.
In the end, Sheffield United failed to suppress the Bayswater Chinese throughout the game.
The score was also locked at 2-0!
After the game, Sheffield United head coach Neil Warnock complained to Yang Cheng.
The 57-year-old England coach complained to Yang Cheng unceremoniously, "Your midfielder is so suffocating!"
Yang Cheng heard that it was a compliment, so he smiled. welcome.
He wanted to show off and said: I also rotated Las Diarra, who is the best at grabbing the ball, in this game.
But he was afraid of being beaten.
"To be honest, you have made great progress compared to when you were in the British Championship." Neil Warnock sighed.
Can it be smaller?
How old was Roger Johnson, one of the main central defenders back then?
The Chinese were still unable to play in Bayswater last season.
The key is that after this kid came to Sheffield United, he firmly occupied the main position.
This is the strength gap!
The reason why Neil Warnock took the initiative to come over for a chat actually had another idea.
Build a good relationship with Yang Cheng.
For a team like the Bayswater Chinese, there will definitely be many players like Roger Johnson in the future.
When the time comes, as long as Neil Warnock follows Yang Cheng and picks up things that Yang Cheng doesn’t need, he will benefit a lot.
……
In the fifth round of the Premier League, there were two strong dialogues.
Chelsea plays Liverpool at home and Manchester United plays Arsenal at home.
As a result, both games were 1-0.
Chelsea defeated Liverpool 1-0 at home thanks to Didier Drogba's goal.
Manchester United lost to Arsenal 0-1 at home, with Adebayor scoring the goal.
This basically reflects the current trend of football.
The role of the center is growing and becoming more and more indispensable.
The two games are actually different.
Although Liverpool lost to Chelsea, their overall performance was better than Chelsea.
Mourinho's team has never been able to position Shevchenko's role well.
But the Ukrainians are such a big name, and it’s impossible not to use them.
This made Chelsea look very embarrassed in the game.
But by chance, they won.
Sometimes, football games are like that.
The situations of Manchester United and Arsenal are different. The Gunners not only won the score, but also won the process.
The problem exposed in Manchester United's game was that Vidic had just recovered from a knee injury and Ferguson arranged for him to be a substitute.
As a result, the starting combination of Wes Brown and Ferdinand failed to stop Adebayor.
In the midfield, although Ferguson has introduced Hargreaves and Carrick, he still prefers rotation.
Not only veterans Giggs and Scholes participated in the rotation, but also O'Shea.
It was precisely after Carrick came on to replace O'Shea that the operation of Manchester United's entire midfield became reasonable.
It was just a continuous battle, and Carrick didn't come on until the 75th minute. Manchester United was already at their wits' end.
After losing this game, Manchester United gave up the lead.
Redknapp's Portsmouth topped the Premier League with an astonishing record of 4 wins, 1 draw, 9 goals scored, and zero goals conceded.
The Bayswater Chinese are ranked 2nd.
Manchester United and Chelsea follow closely behind.
According to this season's League Cup schedule, teams participating in European competitions do not need to play in the second knockout round of the League Cup.
So, the Bayswater Chinese have a full week of rest between the fifth and sixth rounds of the league.
But a week later, the sixth round of the Premier League was to play Manchester United at home, and then went to Madrid, Spain, to challenge Capello's Real Madrid away.
These two games are tough battles!
……
On the evening of September 23, Wembley Stadium in London.
In the 6th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese faced Manchester United at home.
Before the game, in the locker room.
On the tactical board behind Yang Cheng, there are numbers of the starting lineup players from both sides of the game.
Manchester United adopts 4231 tactics.
Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar;
Defense: Heinze, Vidic, Ferdinand and Gary Neville;
Midfield: Carrick and Hargreaves form a pair Midfielder, in front are Giggs, Scholes and Ronaldo;
Forward: Rooney.
The Chinese in Bayswater also adopted the 433 tactic.
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defense: Leighton Baines, Jose Font, Skrtel and Piszczek;
Midfield: Yaya· Toure dragged deep, Modric and Lars Diarra were in the middle;
Forward: Arshavin, Dzeko and Ashley Young.
The Bayswater Chinese have competed with Manchester United several times before, and the players are no strangers to this team.
More importantly, in the three seasons coached by Yang Cheng, the Bayswater Chinese's results when encountering strong teams are obvious to all.
This makes the Bayswater Chinese players very confident.
At least, their performance in the strong dialogue has not been defeated.
This kind of confidence is a good thing for the entire team.
Moreover, the whole world knows that the Bayswater Chinese midfielder is both offensive and defensive and has full pressure.
Tonight, in the home game, all three main midfielders started.
Yang Cheng did not prepare for next Wednesday's Champions League away game against Real Madrid.
But the tactical details that should be emphasized still need to be emphasized again.
“Our offense still insists on playing two wings. Andre and Ashley, I don’t care which side you are on in the game, you must pay attention to me and always suppress Gary Neville and Heinze."
"Especially Heinze!"
The Argentinian defender is back from injury and this is his first game of the season.
I don't know whether Ferguson was afraid of the Bayswater Chinese's wing attack, so he used Heinze, who had better defense, or because of rotation considerations. Anyway, Heinze started in this game.
As for Evra, he didn’t even make the substitute list.
“Heinze is a player who plays good defense, is very aggressive, and has good physical confrontation, but his offense is relatively average.”
“In other words, he doesn’t like the former player very much. Insert attack.”
"On the contrary, Gary Neville on the right likes to push forward."
"When we attack, we must make good use of this."
Arshavin and Ashley Young They all nodded.
“If the Manchester United defense gets the ball, try to grab it from Heinze.”
“In the midfield, the focus is on Carrick. Whenever he gets the ball, To get the ball, someone must press him. Even if he can't grab the ball, he still has to interfere with Manchester United's midfield organization."
This is the task of Lars Diarra and Modric.
“Rooney and Ronaldo must pay special attention when defending.”
“So far this season, Rooney has scored twice and 1 assist in the first round. He didn’t make any contribution in every game and was completely misfired.”
This is actually quite unusual.
1 Champions League game, 5 league games, not even a single contribution.
For a forward like Rooney, who has been invested so much resources by Manchester United, it really shouldn't be.
Of course, Yang Cheng will not dislike it.
Dzeko has only scored 2 goals so far.
Arshavin also scored twice in the first round and scored another goal in the second round. The situation was a little better than Rooney.
But he had an assist.
Therefore, the Bayswater Chinese are not qualified to make fun of Rooney's goal drought for the time being.
“No one knows when Rooney will explode, and the longer a striker like him is suppressed, the more terrifying the explosion will be, so we must pay attention to it.”
Saha’s game The game was a minor calf muscle strain, the same as Maicon.
So Saha and Maicon will rest for this game and prepare for the Champions League next Wednesday.
Yang Cheng arranged for Piszczek.
"Lukash, your task in this game is to keep an eye on Ronaldo, if he comes to the right side."
Yang Cheng still has confidence in Leighton Baines' defense. , I have also played against Ronaldo before, and my defense is not bad.
If it were Maicon, Yang Cheng would not give special instructions.
But Piszczek, Yang Cheng still reminded him to pay attention to Ronaldo.
The Portuguese is not fixed on which side now, he often runs around.
The only constant is that he is always looking for ways to get towards the goal.
“Remember, hang on to him, don’t let him shake you off, don’t let him take off easily, even long shots will not work!”
Piszczek nodded heavily.
“OK!”
Yang Cheng clapped his hands vigorously, making everyone look over.
"Everyone, we are facing Manchester United today, one of the strongest teams in the Premier League."
"This will be a very fast-paced, high-intensity, very fierce confrontation, which will test our physical fitness and The overall skills and tactics and the tacit understanding of the players will be very demanding!”
“But it’s not like we haven’t experienced it before. We are never afraid of strong dialogue, are we?”
Yang Cheng asked the question loudly, causing all the players to answer in unison.
“Yes, that’s right!”
"Very good, guys, I believe you will not disappoint me! Nor will you disappoint all the 50,000 fans who came to the scene!"
"Kill Manchester United!!"
< br>Tonight, Wembley Stadium was once again filled with 50,000 people.
Strong dialogues like this have never lacked the attention of fans in the Premier League.
Especially in London.
...
Just as Yang Cheng expected.
From the first minute of the game, the two teams started a very fierce contest.
Rooney was obviously aware of his recent scoring drought, so he acted very hungry.
Only 1 minute and 30 seconds into the game, he kicked off a long shot 23 meters away from the goal.
And the quality of this long-range shot is very high.
Although Neuer saved the ball, he almost let it go.
However, the Bayswater Chinese were not unambiguous and soon responded with a long-range shot from Arshavin's left rib, which went slightly wide.
Perhaps he felt that the quality of the long-range shot just now was slightly inferior to Rooney. One minute later, Arshavin broke through with the ball on the left and sent a pass to the center.
Dzeko took off between Vidic and Ferdinand. Although he got the landing spot, his header was not on target.
At this time, the game time was only 5 minutes.
But the two teams have created 3 shots.
The fans at the scene also enjoyed watching it.
The battle between the two teams continues.
Manchester United has no good way to deal with Bayswater's Chinese midfielder.
Even with the 4231 formation, which gave them a numerical advantage, and Hargreaves and Carrick in the double midfielder position, they still failed to suppress the Bayswater Chinese in the midfield.
The Times once wrote an article specifically about Yaya Toure, believing that although the Ivorian likes to play deep, he will still focus on defense if the team needs it.
A Yaya Toure who focuses on defense is very much like Vieira back then.
But once he charges, he can't even stop him.
Facing Manchester United, it was just the start of the game, and Yaya Toure was still sitting in the midfield and backcourt.
Manchester United suffered a disadvantage in the midfield and could only frequently take long shots.
After two consecutive long-range shots failed to produce any effect, Ronaldo sent a pass to Rooney in the penalty area in the 11th minute.
Lu Xiaopang’s body is really awesome.
In the joint defense of Jose Fonte and Skrtel, he grabbed the ball and hit the goal.
However, due to interference from two defensive players, the shot failed to hit the target.
Manchester United attacked and took a breather.
At this time, the Bayswater Chinese began to exert their strength.
Continuous offensives made Manchester United's defense tight for a while.
In the 15th minute, the Bayswater Chinese stole the ball near the center line. Dzeko retreated to get the ball, turned around and sent a diagonal pass.
Arshavin took the ball in the left corner of Manchester United's penalty area and faced Ferdinand's close press.
I saw the Russian's continuous feints, and after successfully getting rid of Ferdinand, he cut inside laterally.
Vidic immediately rushed to intercept, but Arshavin sent a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area.
Ashley Young used his speed to get rid of Heinze and reach the penalty area.
As a result, the shot was hugged by Van der Sar who was attacking.
Ashley Young gave a thumbs up to Arshavin from a distance.
This pass was very beautiful, but it was too close to the small penalty area.
If it were further outside, Ashley Young would be more confident.
Subsequently, Ashley Young's corner kick failed to pose a threat.
Just as the Englishman walked back, he heard the head coach calling him from the sidelines.
"Ashley, Ashley, here."
Since the Bayswater Chinese attack from left to right, Ashley Young is on this side of the coaching bench.
Hearing Yang Cheng's shout, he ran over immediately.
"Heinze is not very excited tonight, work harder and kill him!"
"I'll let them pass the ball to you!"
Yang Cheng The words made Ashley Young feel extremely proud. After nodding heavily in agreement, he quickly ran into the stadium.
...
The players on the court quickly received Yang Cheng's instructions.
The Bayswater Chinese began to press forward.
One minute later, still on the left, Arshavin's long shot hit Hargreaves and went out of the baseline.
Another corner kick.
It was Ashley Young who took the penalty, but Skrtel headed it high.
The efficiency of set-piece offense is not that high.
But in the 18th minute, Manchester United got the ball at the back line.
Dzeko symbolically pushed towards Ferdinand and Vidic.
The ball was passed to Heinze's feet.
As soon as the Argentinian defender got the ball, Ashley Young suddenly came in front of him, startling Heinze, and passed the ball to Carrick without thinking.
But no one expected that just as Carrick was about to receive the ball, Lars Diarra suddenly came out with a diagonal stab, fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, and scooped the ball out first. .
The ball returned to the right wing.
Ashley Young and Heinze rushed over at the same time.
The England winger got the ball first, and Heinze immediately got behind him, preventing him from turning around and forcing him to pass back.
But Ashley Young first made a flexible fake move to cut inside. After deceiving Heinze's center of gravity, he suddenly turned to the outside and kicked the ball behind Heinze.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Ashley Young start quickly, sprinting at the fastest speed, catching up with the ball he just passed, rushing to the right side of Manchester United's penalty area, kicking and sending a ball Mark the low pass.
There are two players in the middle and back points to respond at the same time.
In the end, Dzeko, who was in the front line, quickly stepped in and kicked the ball into Van der Sar's goal in front of Ferdinand, 8 meters in front of the goal.
“The ball went in!!!”
"In the 18th minute, Dzeko scored Manchester United's goal!"
"This is the Bosnia and Herzegovina center's third Premier League goal this season!"
"1 to 0!"
“Cross from the right from Ashley Young.”
“Heinze must take responsibility for conceding the goal.”
"He was deceived by Ashley Young too easily, and then failed to return to his position in time to block Ashley Young's cross, which resulted in this goal."
...
After conceding the ball, Manchester United also started to become ruthless.
The Red Devil is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The team trained by Ferguson is domineering.
But the Chinese people in Bayswater are no less generous.
The two teams continued the previous confrontation mode, still going back and forth, neither one refused to retreat.
But starting from the 20th minute, Ronaldo switched from the right to the left.
At the beginning, Yang Cheng was worried that Piszczek wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so he asked Ashley Young to retreat further to support Piszczek.
In the 23rd minute, it was Ashley Young's retreat defense that tripped Ronaldo and gave Manchester United a free kick opportunity.
Ronaldo's penalty kick was saved by Neuer.
But after several defensive attempts, Piszczek defended Ronaldo's breakthrough with the ball very well, and Ashley Young began to actively engage in the frontcourt again to compete with Heinze. .
In the 41st minute of the first half, Yaya Toure suddenly came all the way from the backcourt. After receiving Modric's pass, he passed Carrick and rushed to Manchester United's goal with the ball. The outer right side of the top of the arc.
When everyone was watching for Yaya Toure to hit the goal, the Ivorian suddenly sent a pass.
The ball passed past Manchester United's defenders and fell into no man's land behind Heinze.
Ashley Young quickly stepped in and got ahead of everyone. After stopping the ball with his chest, he kicked the ball with his right foot seemingly casually.
The arc of this ball is very strange. It looks like a shot, but it is not.
None of the Manchester United defensive players in the penalty area were able to make effective predictions.
Especially Gary Neville at the back point.
It wasn’t until the football crossed the center and fell towards his defensive zone that the Manchester United captain woke up.
But Arshavin, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward quickly, got ahead of Gary Neville, poked his head and sent the ball into the Manchester United goal again.
2 to 0!
