Chapter 142 The strongest in history! Has anyone seen such a legend? [Please subscribe]
When the Italian referee Roberto Rossetti blew the whistle at the end of the game, the entire Stamford Bridge stadium was filled with angry and dissatisfied Chelsea fans.
Obviously, they are basically targeted at the Chinese people in Bayswater.
The score was finally fixed at 1-2!
The home team is in front and the away team is in back.
The total score is 4 to 2.
Both rounds were actually narrow wins.
In the last ten minutes of this game, Chelsea almost threw themselves into the attack desperately.
Everyone launched an offensive crazily.
Even the Chinese people in Bayswater had to avoid the edge for the time being and chose to defend to the death.
In the last ten minutes or so, the court was one-sided.
In fact, experienced fans all know that the possibility of Chelsea scoring 3 goals in the final stage is very small.
No matter how small you are, you still have to rush.
This is a matter of attitude!
“It’s the semifinals again!”
In the VIP box at Stamford Bridge, Abramovich was very disappointed with the result of the game.
The league has no hope.
The FA Cup was also eliminated.
Now, the Champions League also stops at the semi-finals.
The League Cup did reach the final and encountered Tottenham Hotspur in North London.
As a result, the two sides played 1-1 in regular time, and finally lost to Tottenham in overtime and missed the championship.
In other words, Chelsea will be empty-handed again this season.
"How many times has this stopped in the semi-finals?" Abramovich asked with a frown.
There was silence in the box.
Only Marina Granovskaya replied softly: "From 2003 to now, this is the fourth time."
Abramovich was immediately silenced.
From 2003 to now, in just 5 years, we have stopped in the semi-finals 4 times.
This is really unacceptable.
In the 03/04 season, Ranieri was still the head coach at the time and lost to Deschamps' Monaco in the semi-finals.
In the subsequent final, Mourinho's Porto defeated Monaco to win the championship.
So Abramovich invited Mourinho.
In the subsequent 04/05 season, Mourinho led the team to gain an early advantage in the league and also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
As a result, they lost to Liverpool with a total score of 1-0 in the two rounds.
Later, Benitez's team performed a miracle in Istanbul.
Okay, Abramovich admits it!
Not to mention the 2005/06 season. In the group stage, they were placed in the same group as Liverpool and finished second. In the round of 16, they met Barcelona, who later won the championship. The two teams caused a lot of trouble and caused a lot of trouble.
Last season, Chelsea met Liverpool in the semi-finals and went directly to a penalty shootout.
Unexpectedly, this season they will stop in the Champions League semi-finals again.
“Can it be said that we really did not win the Champions League?” It is difficult for Abramovich to explain this phenomenon.
Let’s say we are weak. We have reached the semi-finals 4 times in 5 years. Is this weak?
Can you say that it is strong? In the past five years, it has stopped in the semi-finals 4 times and has not even touched the finals. Is this considered strong?
When it comes to investing money, Abramovich dares to say proudly that no team in European football can compare with Chelsea.
In the end, is this the result?
The Bayswater Chinese team didn’t spend much money on investment and signings, even a fraction of Chelsea’s. It was only their third season in the Premier League, and they actually reached the Champions League final.
Moreover, they are still chasing the Triple Crown this season!
Yes, there is little hope for the league, but hasn’t the final round not yet started?
Abramovich will not be punished immediately.
Honestly, those who don’t invest money will be more likely to advance to the finals?
“Actually, the Bayswater Chinese came all the way, and their opponents were very strong, and the overall gold content was the highest.”
Peter Kenyon was unwilling to flatter, so he said An objective statement.
"We met Real Madrid, Werder Bremen and Lazio in the group stage. This is definitely a group of death."
"Entering the knockout rounds, the defending champion AC Milan and the dream team Barcelona met us in the semi-finals. Along the way, their schedule and opponents are more difficult than anyone else!"
Everyone was silent for a while.
Everyone knows it.
The points and classification rules of the Champions League are to protect strong teams.
Whether it is Chelsea in the past few years or the Bayswater Chinese now, they all need to be built step by step.
At the beginning, the schedule was very difficult.
But the Bayswater Chinese did it!
"Peter, tell me, what is the biggest difference between us and the Chinese in Bayswater? Why can they reach the Champions League final, but we stop in the semi-finals time and time again?" Abramovich asked don't know.
Peter Kenyon still understands football to some extent, after all, he has been running Manchester United for so many years.
"Actually, our problem has been mentioned by the media before. It is too strong, not flexible enough, and lacks creativity."
Abramovich nodded silently, thinking about this problem.
“Look at the Bayswater Chinese, their defense is very good, right? But their midfielder, Yaya Toure, is very good at getting in from behind and has a strong ability to push the ball forward. More importantly, , they have a Modric ”
“From. How many years has it been since the League Two to the Premier League to the Champions League? Modric has been highly used by Yang Cheng and appointed as the team's captain. His passing and control in the midfield are very good."
" We don’t have such talent in our team.”
Peter Kenyon’s words have been mentioned by the media before, and have even been said by many experts.
But at this moment, in the face of such a tragic defeat, everyone has to pay attention.
“Let’s talk about the frontcourt, why can’t a center like Shevchenko play a role in our team?”
As soon as Peter Kenyon said this, many people around him People's expressions changed.
The first reaction of those who understand is that Peter Kenyon is ready to push the blame.
The number one life-saving principle in the workplace is that if you screw up a deal, the most important thing is not to take the blame.
“Look at the Bayswater Chinese. Center forward Dzeko is not as physically as Drogba, but his foot skills are much better than Drogba’s, right?”
“Di on the left Malia and Arshavin on the right are all players with excellent skills and full of creativity. We don’t have such players, right?”
Abramovich has also thought about this problem.
He even analyzed with people several times why Shevchenko couldn't play at Chelsea.
The answer given by everyone is that the tactics and staffing are wrong.
To put it crudely, other people's midfielders are creating and giving blood to the forwards, while Chelsea's midfielder is sucking the blood of the forwards.
This has resulted in forwards like Shevchenko not being able to stay at Chelsea.
The Ukrainian nuclear warhead itself has expressed its intention many times and hopes to return to Italy.
"What do you think of the transfer market this summer?" Abramovich asked again.
Peter Kenyon thought for a moment and nodded: "Sign a creative and controlling midfielder, such as Barcelona's Deco, but I personally feel that the best is Bayswater Chinese's Modric. . ”
“I don’t lack defensive midfielders, I don’t lack tough guys, but we lack one. Controlling midfielders like Deco and Modric "But Deco's performance in recent times is far less than expected. Personally, I think Modric is the most suitable." >
Abramovich nodded, recognizing Peter Kenyon’s analysis.
“For the frontcourt, I personally think that Arshavin’s transfer fee is estimated to be more than 30 million pounds.”
"30 million pounds?" Abramovich frowned slightly, feeling a little hurt.
But still acceptable.
But before Abramovich could express his position, Marina Granovskaya next to him reminded her.
“After this season, Arshavin will be 27 years old.”
This personal assistant usually doesn’t talk much, but every sentence is crucial.
Abramovich was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.
Isn’t it?
27 years old.
Can it still be sold so expensively?
“In the transfer market, you can take a look at the stars of Arshavin’s level. Can you find a second one?”
Peter Kenyon said this, paused for a moment, and then continued.
“If it is 30 million pounds, I personally think it can be considered.”
“If we can successfully sign these two players, I think we are fully capable of making an impact next season. Champions League champion!"
A flash of heat flashed in Abramovich's eyes.
He has failed in the semi-finals 4 times in 5 years, but he still has not stopped chasing the Champions League title.
...
The Bayswater Chinese defeated Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate and reached the Champions League final historically!
After the game, this news spread all over the world very quickly.
Countless media and fans are vying to report on it.
Everyone feels incredible for this young Premier League team.
In the first season after being promoted to the Premier League, they won the UEFA Cup and the league runner-up. In the second season, they won the Premier League championship. This season, they are even competing for the Triple Crown. This is simply a big step forward every year!
No, even before the Premier League, when they were still in the lower leagues, they had repeatedly achieved great results.
Media and fans around the world have praised this team.
Especially during this past time.
After the club’s football culture promotional video became popular on the Internet, it also attracted the attention of netizens around the world.
Now, the Bayswater Chinese have reached the Champions League final, which has undoubtedly further won the favor of netizens around the world.
Everyone belongs to Mu Qiang and Mu Qi.
Baswater Chinese undoubtedly perfectly fits these two elements.
Coupled with the club's publicity and promotion on the Internet during the past period, especially a series of short videos that suit the tastes of netizens, it has already gained a lot of goodwill and attention.
This time it all broke out.
On the Internet, many celebrities from the British entertainment industry also sent congratulations to the Chinese people in Bayswater.
This immediately became a unique landscape on the global Internet.
As early as January, Adele released her first album [19], which contains 13 songs.
After the album was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the UK.
In late February, Adele was nominated for the 19th BRIT Awards [Critics Choice Award], [Best British Female Vocalist Award] and [Best Breakthrough British Artist Award], and finally won the review Choice Award.
Adele's new album is an instant hit.
This British girl suddenly became a hot new star in the British entertainment industry.
When receiving the award, Adele specially thanked Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese.
Adele said that without Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese, who helped her realize her music dream at the critical moment, she would not have had the chance to release this album.
The story of Adele and the Bayswater Chinese was quickly reported by the British entertainment media.
In Yang Cheng's words, he is out of the circle.
With Adele's popularity, a saying has begun to spread in the entertainment industry.
The Bayswater Chinese can bring good luck to all die-hard football fans!
Adele is the best evidence!
A British girl was studying in school and was discovered by a football club. She sang a team song and became famous. She made a splash and released an album, which became an instant hit.
The most outrageous thing is that Adele is still singing at Wembley Stadium.
And there is a private box just for her in the stands of Wembley Stadium.
This is to be completely tied up with the Bayswater Chinese!
This kind of thing spread from ten to ten, and gradually spread.
So, when the Bayswater Chinese reached the Champions League final, many celebrities in the entertainment industry sent their blessings.
Many celebrities even posted their tickets online.
Whether I have time to see it or not, I bought the ticket anyway.
......
In another match in the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United narrowly defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 at home with Scholes' goal.
Finally, the team advanced to the finals with a total score of 1-0.
As a result, a very interesting scene has emerged in the Premier League this season.
In the league, Bayswater Chinese are 1 point behind Manchester United.
The final round will determine the championship.
It is equivalent to the final between Manchester United and Bayswater Chinese!
In the FA Cup final, Manchester United also faced the Bayswater Chinese.
Now, the Champions League final is also a duel between these two teams.
Two teams are competing for the Triple Crown at the same time!
Has anyone seen such a scene, such a legend?
Sports media all over the world are basically reporting on this grand occasion.
Everyone is paying attention to who of these two teams can win the Triple Crown in the end?
Or, among the three championships, how do Manchester United and Bayswater Chinese separate?
Judging from the current situation, the league basically belongs to Manchester United.
Unless something happens to Ferguson's Red Devils in the last round, but this is very unlikely.
The strength gap between Wigan Athletic and Manchester United is still quite large.
What about the FA Cup and Champions League finals?
Many bookmakers have also offered odds.
Among them, The Times has analyzed the next trend.
The authoritative British media believes that the situation of the Chinese in Bayswater is relatively dangerous.
The league has lost the initiative, so there is no need to say more.
The FA Cup final is also a long-standing problem.
"Yang Cheng promised as early as the beginning of the season to let young players play in the cup."
"Now, these young players have fought all the way to the finals. Should we let them play?"
Thames The newspaper believes that at the beginning of the season, no one thought that things would eventually come to this point.
But now, if young players are arranged to play in the FA Cup final, there is no doubt that Manchester United will be the favorite to win the championship.
But if the main lineup is allowed to play, what will the young players do?
This is a problem.
If we lose the league and the FA Cup, how will we play in the next Champions League final?
Therefore, the Times believes that the Chinese people in Bayswater are now faced with difficult multiple-choice questions.
“If Yang Cheng does not do a good job, he is likely to lose three championships and repeat the mistakes of Manchester United last season.”
“Then, they will become the most tragic Sanya Kings in history. ! ”
...
Ever since the Champions League semi-finals, Yang Cheng has been in a difficult situation.
Not only him, but the entire coaching staff is also in a dilemma.
The FA Cup final is on May 17th at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Champions League final is on May 21 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia.
There are 3 days in between.
For Yang Cheng, the FA Cup final does not have as much mental burden as the British.
This is a cup match.
So, he decided to play as a young player.
No matter what, even if you lose, you will gain valuable experience for the young players.
After all, this is the final against Manchester United.
What's more, it would be nice to consume Manchester United in this final.
Besides, this group of young players from Bayswater Chinese may not necessarily lose.
They also reached the finals based on their strength.
The real dilemma is, if we lose to Manchester United in the FA Cup final, how to avoid affecting the subsequent Champions League final?
Also, how to play Manchester United in the final?
The Bayswater Chinese failed to win against Manchester United twice this season.
It was 1-1 at Old Trafford and 3-3 at Wembley.
Speaking of which, Manchester United scored more away goals, so they still won.
Furthermore, Yang Cheng also has to admit that Manchester United's lineup is indeed very strong this season.
Especially the back line of defense should not be too strong.
The current Manchester United can even be said to be the strongest in history, stronger than when they won the Triple Crown in 1999.
As for the midfielder, Manchester United's midfielder has also been greatly improved after Hargreaves joined.
The only problem with this player is that he has a lot of injuries.
But in recent times, Hargreaves has been in very good condition.
Plus the trident in the frontcourt.
It can be said that it is indeed a headache.
Yang Cheng played in several Champions League finals in his previous life, although he lost them all.
But he has experience.
So, he told psychologist Tim Harkness early on to prepare several effective blood pressure-lowering activities.
The team's bus will also carry a series of drinking water, food, and supplies, and leave early for Russia.
At that time, the club’s travel and food in Moscow will be basically the same as in London.
Adam Crozier personally flew to Moscow to find a suitable hotel.
Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.
Only Yang Cheng was under increasing pressure.
In particular, external public opinion is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Chinese in Bayswater.
Xia Qing also saw all this and was anxious in her heart.
"How about I tell my dad, my mom, my brother, my uncles and aunts, and come back after the game is over?"
Before the last round of the Premier League One day, when Yang Cheng returned to the apartment for dinner, Xia Qing asked with concern.
“Why?” Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, a little strange.
Yang Cheng's parents, Xia Qing's parents, and Xia Xi and his girlfriend are coming to London. This was booked during the Spring Festival.
At that time, I never expected that this situation would happen.
The most important thing is to celebrate the completion of their villa decoration and their move-in.
According to domestic customs, both parents should come and see it.
Especially Yang Cheng’s parents who contributed money.
So, they made an appointment to come to London to stay and play together for a few days until the league was over.
This was proposed by Yang Cheng himself.
Originally, he wanted to invite Xia Qing's grandparents and grandparents over, but the old people were too lazy to go out.
"Aren't we busy recently? We don't have time to spend time with them." Xia Qing gently made an excuse.
Yang Cheng looked at her deeply and knew what was going on. He reached out his hand and gently held Xia Qing's soft hand.
"There's nothing wrong with me here. Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs."
"Besides, my uncle, aunt and Xia Xi all took leave with great difficulty, and my parents have also made arrangements. It’s hard to spoil their fun.”
After saying that, Yang Cheng smiled and said, “I’ve already done it. After the arrangements have been made, we plan to invite all the players’ families to accompany the team to the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.”
“So, isn’t it just right that they are here?”
Xia Qing was still a little worried and felt that there was no need to put more pressure on Yang Cheng.
"It's really okay. Don't be burdened. This kind of thing will be very common in the future. We will often enter the Champions League finals. As a family member, you will have to adapt in the future."
Seeing Yang Cheng, he would still joke. , Xia Qing is in a better mood.
"During this period, you have been responsible for all the decoration and furniture purchase. Thank you for your hard work." Yang Cheng gently squeezed the Rouyi in his hand. It was very soft and comfortable.
"When the time comes, I will be busy, so you will be responsible for receiving them and live directly in our new home. I will still live here for the convenience of doing things." Xia Qing didn't have any objections.
She also knew that Yang Cheng was really busy day and night.
……
The last round of the Premier League is all held at the same time.
The game time is 14:00 sharp in the afternoon.
The Bayswater Chinese challenged Derby County away from home.
Yang Cheng also sent all his main players to fight in this game. After all, it was the last battle.
Although it is unlikely to counterattack Manchester United and win the championship, Yang Cheng still plays with all the main players.
After the game started, the Bayswater Chinese turned away and launched an attack.
Derby County has been relegated early.
This team has won 1 game, drawn 8 games, and scored 11 points this season. It can almost be said to be the worst relegated team in the history of the Premier League.
In just 15 minutes, Dzeko sent a back pass in the penalty area. Yaya Toure's long shot penetrated Derby County's goal.
1 to 0!
Subsequently, Derby County received a yellow card warning for consecutive fouls.
There is really nothing they can do.
Without fouling, there is no way to stop the Bayswater Chinese.
Until the 37th minute, Modric and Di Maria completed a one-two match, broke into the penalty area and crossed the ball. Dzeko hit the goal and expanded the score.
2 to 0!
Before the end of the first half, the Bayswater Chinese had several wonderful attacks, all of which almost resulted in goals.
In the second half, the Bayswater Chinese continued their pursuit of victory.
First, Maicon made a pass from the right, and Arshavin hit a volley from the penalty area, 3-0!
Just 2 minutes later, there was a long pass from the backcourt. After stopping the ball on the right rib, Dzeko broke through with the ball, entered the penalty area and hit the goal, 4-0!
After that, Dzeko scored another goal and performed a hat trick.
This is also Dzeko's first hat trick in the Premier League and his career.
After leading 5-0, the Bayswater Chinese made consecutive substitutions.
After that, Arshavin, Lewandowski and Gareth Bale scored successively.
In the end, the team slaughtered Derby County 8-0 away from home.
When the last goal was scored, there were still 15 minutes left before the end of the game.
But the Bayswater Chinese did not pursue their victory any longer.
In another stadium, Manchester United also played their best.
But Ferguson's team did not play well against Wigan Athletic's defense.
Even for a long time, there was no threatening shot.
But in the 33rd minute, the Wigan Athletic defender tripped Rooney in the penalty area, and the referee gave a penalty kick.
C Ronaldo made a penalty kick.
After that, until the 80th minute, Giggs scored another victory for Manchester United.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 away from home.
The Red Devils also won the Premier League title in the 2007/08 season.
……
After 38 rounds, Manchester United successfully won the championship.
Baswater Chinese won the runner-up spot with a gap of 1 point.
Chelsea finished third in the league.
Although Liverpool won successfully in the last two rounds, Benitez's team could not stand up to being too stretched in front.
Especially in the 35th round, when the Bayswater Chinese had helped them win Arsenal and put fourth place in the league directly into their mouths, they actually spit it out in the 36th round.
In the end, Arsenal finished fourth in the league and Liverpool ranked fifth.
As a result, the places for the Premier League to participate in the Champions League next season are Manchester United, Bayswater Chinese, Chelsea and Arsenal.
After two seasons away, the Gunners finally returned to the Champions League again.
After 38 rounds of games, the three teams that were finally relegated were Derby County, Birmingham and Fulham.
The difference between 18th-placed Fulham and 17th-placed Bolton is only 1 point.
The relegation battle between these two teams has reached the final round.
In the words of the British media, this is a showdown involving nearly 30 million pounds in television broadcast fees and tens of millions of pounds in annual income.
In the end it was Fulham in West London who was relegated.
Yang Cheng was actually mentally prepared for this outcome.
Losing the league is a high probability event.
As for Fulham's relegation, he was not too happy.
If Chelsea or Arsenal were relegated, he might apply to set off fireworks in Hyde Park to celebrate vigorously.
As for Fulham, Yang Cheng didn’t take it to heart.
On the contrary, the outside media started a new round of crazy hype.
It is nothing more than saying that by losing the league, the Bayswater Chinese have taken another step towards becoming the king of Sanya.
In terms of player performance, Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United can be said to have won and lost each other.
C Ronaldo ranks first among the scorers with 31 league goals.
The Bayswater Chinese’s Bosnia and Herzegovina center Dzeko also had a big breakout this season, following closely behind with 25 goals.
Liverpool's Torres and Arsenal's Adebayor both scored 24 goals, ranking tied for third.
After that is Arshavin, ranked fifth, who scored 21 goals.
This is also the season with the most goals ever scored by a Russian.
As for the offensive combination, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez scored 31 goals, 12 goals and 14 goals respectively, contributing a total of 57 goals. They can be said to be the most offensive in European football today. A powerful offensive combination.
The performance of the Chinese frontcourt trident in Bayswater was not as good as that of Manchester United. Dzeko scored 25 goals, Arshavin scored 21 goals, but Di Maria only scored 5 goals. Only 51 goals were scored in total.
Although Di Maria has few goals, he has a lot of assists. He is the second-leading assister in the Premier League this season after Cesc Fabregas.
This is also enough to highlight the characteristics of Di Maria.
Although the Argentinian is a typical South American small forward, he actually mainly focuses on passing and assisting. Personal scoring is obviously not his specialty.
On the contrary, it is like Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott. Both young players have scored 8 Premier League goals this season.
In addition, center Dzeko from Poland also scored 8 Premier League goals this season.
It is precisely because of the outstanding performance of this group of young players, and Yaya Toure also scored 8 goals, that the total number of goals scored by the Bayswater Chinese in the Premier League this season, no more, no less, is exactly right It's 100 balls.
This allowed the Bayswater Chinese to surpass the 97 goals created by Manchester United in the 99/00 season, the peak season in history, and became the first team in the history of the Premier League to score 100 goals in a single season.
Manchester United scored 97 goals in the 1999/00 season and conceded 45 goals.
This season, the Bayswater Chinese have only conceded 28 goals despite scoring 100 goals.
Looking at the entire Premier League, they are tied for second in the number of goals conceded, losing only 22 goals to Manchester United, which is on par with Liverpool.
But the Reds scored only 67 goals.
Even those media reporters who are pessimistic about the prospects of the Bayswater Chinese have to admit that based on the performance of the Bayswater Chinese this season, if they had not encountered the strongest Red Devils in history, Manchester United could really take the entire Premier League by storm and win the Triple Crown.
If nothing else, if you score 100 goals in a single season, how many teams can stop it?
But Ferguson's Manchester United not only had the strongest defense, but also scored 80 goals, which was also impressive.
If we have to find a problem, it is that we rely too much on the Trident.
Therefore, no matter how Ferguson rotates, the front trident does not dare to move.
Because, apart from the Trident, other Manchester United players have scored very few goals.
The one with the most goals is Saha, who scored 5 goals, while Giggs and Nani both scored 3 goals.
It can be said to be a cliff-like gap.
On the contrary, it is the Bayswater Chinese. The goal statistics of several young players are quite good, and the overall distribution is very balanced.
The Sun also made a special calculation and found that the Bayswater Chinese have as many as 18 players who have scored goals this season.
What about Manchester United?
Only 13 people.
This is a very obvious gap.
In terms of offense, Yang Cheng's team can be said to be blooming everywhere.
The Red Devils put their entire team effort into building a frontcourt trident, even Cristiano Ronaldo.
This has also led to Manchester United's reliance on the front three.
No one dares to rotate the frontcourt trident.
As soon as you change, the chain will fall off immediately.
However, it is worth mentioning that the final round of the Premier League is also related to this season's Golden Glove award.
As early as the 2006/07 season, Neuer won the Premier League Golden Glove Award with 20 clean sheets.
At that time, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina ranked second with 19 times and failed to win the award.
This season, the two top goalkeepers compete again.
In the end, in the 38 league rounds, both of them kept clean sheets 18 times and shared the Premier League Golden Glove Award this season.
When Neuer returned to London after playing for Derby County, he accepted the Premier League award at Bayswater Stadium.
In an interview with media reporters, the German goalkeeper thanked his teammates and the team's coach.
I especially want to thank the head coach Yang Cheng.
Although there has always been some controversy regarding the Premier League Golden Glove Award based on the number of clean sheets as the selection criterion, it is undeniable that after joining Bayswater Chinese, Neuer He has become one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League and even European football.
Adequate training in competitions has allowed Neuer to improve very quickly.
At only 22 years old, he has already won the Premier League Golden Glove Award twice. Neuer's talent and strength are evident.
When Neuer received the Premier League Golden Glove Award, Ferguson was also in Manchester, accepting interviews with media reporters as the newly promoted Premier League champion.
The godfather of Manchester United said very excitedly that he now has two goals, one long and one short.
The long-term goal is to win more championships for Manchester United and kick Liverpool off the championship throne.
Short goals are easy.
“I hope to win two key finals in the next 10 days.”
What Ferguson is talking about is the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.
“I know it will be very difficult. The Bayswater Chinese are a very strong team, but I have always believed that as long as we focus on the game, the victory and championship will definitely belong to us. Us!”
“We will win the FA Cup final first and enter the Champions League final with the high morale of the double championship!”
……
On the afternoon of May 17th, Wembley Stadium, London.
FA Cup final, Bayswater Chinese vs. Manchester United.
What surprised everyone was that Yang Cheng actually fulfilled his promise to the young people and continued to let them start.
Goalkeeper: Begovic;
Defense: Marcelo, Jose Fonte, Koscielny and Piszczek;
Midfield : Matic drags behind, Matuidi and Rakitic are in the middle;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Theo Walcott.
On the other hand, Manchester United played with its full lineup.
Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar;
Defense: Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and Wes Brown;
Midfield: Giggs, Card Rick, Hargreaves and Ronaldo;
Forwards: Rooney and Tevez.
As Yang Cheng said before, Ferguson has never dared to rotate the trident.
Yang Cheng fulfilled his promise and made the young players of the Bayswater Chinese team very high-spirited and performed extremely excitedly. They showed an aggressive momentum from the beginning.
Less than 1 minute into the game, Matuidi threatened Van der Sar's goal with a long shot from the outside.
In the 12th minute, Gareth Bale on the left received Matuidi's pass, rushed past Manchester United's midfield, and sent a diagonal pass behind him. Walcott turned offside. Successfully, after breaking into the penalty area, he kicked directly to the right of the penalty spot and hit the goal.
As a result, the shot was saved in time by Van der Sar who was halfway out.
After 1 minute, the Bayswater Chinese won a corner kick in the frontcourt.
Koscielny's header went slightly wide.
The most threatening thing was in the 21st minute. Gareth Bale made a pass from the left. After Lewandowski received the ball in the penalty area, he passed Ferdinand in the small penalty area. From the left edge, low kick.
The ball hit the root of the left post and bounced out of the baseline.
The Bayswater Chinese missed a golden opportunity.
In the first 21 minutes, Manchester United was forced by this group of young players from Bayswater Chinese to not even have a shot.
It wasn't until the 24th minute that Manchester United threatened Begovic's goal with a long shot.
But the Bayswater Chinese still insisted on attacking.
First, a set-piece tactic in the frontcourt was used, which shocked everyone in Manchester United into a cold sweat.
Lewandowski's header almost went in.
In the 40th minute, Gareth Bale used his speed on the left to force past Wes Brown and then sent a cross pass near the baseline.
When Lewandowski, who was in front of the goal, was about to rush over and shoot, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Walcott, who was in the back, made a shovel shot, but it was a little slower. The ball hit the right side netting.
Lewandowski stood up to protest to the referee, believing that he was pulled down from behind by Ferdinand, but the referee did not make a penalty.
It can also be seen from the slow-motion replay that Ferdinand did have moves on his hands.
It can be said that throughout the first half, the young Bayswater Chinese players suppressed Manchester United and their offensive was very fierce.
But Yang Cheng also repeatedly warned the players during the halftime break that Manchester United has not really exerted its strength yet.
Ferguson will definitely save some energy for the next Champions League final, but Manchester United's players played relatively loosely.
So, in the first half, Manchester United focused more on defense.
But this situation will definitely improve in the second half after the bad situation in the first half.
Maybe, Ferguson has already launched his unique skills in the locker room.
As expected, in the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Manchester United directly exerted its strength.
The attack group headed by Ronaldo launched a fierce attack on the Bayswater Chinese.
The most threatening thing was in the 53rd minute. Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball with a heel, assisted Rooney to break into the penalty area and then kicked the goal. Begovic flew to block the baseline.
After Manchester United exerted its strength, the Bayswater Chinese began to turn more defensive.
Matic's current strength is indeed not as good as Yaya Toure, but the tall and burly Serbian has gradually adapted to the role of defensive midfielder after a season of experience.
Moreover, he gradually realized that he was more comfortable playing in this position.
With his technical characteristics, playing at the tenth position, his shortcomings will be magnified.
His advantage will be magnified if he falls behind to the 4th position.
The only problem is that he needs to strengthen his defensive skills and awareness.
This requires more games.
Matuidi is another player on the court who makes Yang Cheng very satisfied.
When many people look at Matuidi at first glance, they must think that this kid is an African-American with a rough waist. His appearance is of a rough style, and he is not a good guy at first glance.
But in reality?
Not really!
Matuidi's passing ability is very, very strong, and his success rate has remained around 90% for a long time.
But he mainly makes short passes and rarely makes long passes.
More importantly, he is super able to run and is very good at grabbing.
In the past few years since he came to Bayswater, the Chinese's strength has improved greatly.
Especially in the last two seasons, he has become an important rotation role in the first team.
When Lass Diarra is injured or suspended, or participates in the national team competition, Matuidi takes the lead.
It is precisely because of Matuidi’s sweep in the midfield, coupled with the fact that Rakitic is also good at attacking and defending, has excellent running ability, and Matic behind him, Bayswater The Chinese midfielder can still withstand Manchester United's successive attacks.
The two sides continued to fight until the 71st minute. Ronaldo from the right side of Manchester United broke through with the ball, entered the penalty area and shot angrily, causing Begovic to make a save.
Tevez got ahead of Koscielny, shot from close range and sent the ball into the goal.
1 to 0!
Manchester United made substitutions quickly.
Nani replaced Ronaldo and Ashley Young replaced Rooney.
Yang Cheng also made substitutions, with Aaron Ramsey replacing Matic.
Then Arshavin replaced Rakitic.
In this way, Matuidi and Aaron Ramsey serve as double midfielders, and Arshavin lurks behind Lewandowski.
The Chinese in Bayswater transformed into 4231.
In the last 20 minutes, the Bayswater Chinese almost dominated Manchester United.
Especially in the last 10 minutes, even Marcelo and Piszczek were pressing hard, forcing Manchester United to retreat almost completely.
Aaron Ramsey performed extremely well.
Although he serves as a double midfielder, he actually often penetrates forward to form a passing and cutting cooperation with Arshavin in the frontcourt.
The most threatening thing was in the 81st minute, when he sent a through ball, which resulted in Gareth Bale hitting Ferdinand out of the baseline.
Aaron Ramsey took the corner kick, but Jose Fonte took it too far and was confiscated by Edwin van der Sar.
Then in the 89th minute, Arshavin sent a wonderful pass, and Ramsey hit a volley from the right side of the penalty area, causing Van der Sar to miss.
But the Dutch reacted quickly. As soon as they let go, they immediately pounced again.
Lewandowski was finally a step slower.
Until the 94th minute, Piszczek was still launching an offensive from the right, shooting a shot that hit the side net.
In the end, referee Mike Dean blew the whistle to end the game.
With Carlos Tevez's goal, Manchester United defeated the Bayswater Chinese 1-0.
Ferguson, who can win, does not look as happy as a double winner should be.
The trend of this game was somewhat beyond his expectation.
According to the idea of Manchester United's godfather, if Yang Cheng plays as the main force, then Manchester United will fight against the Bayswater Chinese. Anyway, after the fight is over, the two sides will still have to go to the Champions League final for another fierce battle.
If you are on the bench, that's fine, end the game early and stay focused on playing in the Champions League final.
What Ferguson didn’t expect was that the Bayswater Chinese played with a young lineup and showed such tenacity.
Manchester United even almost couldn't hold on several times.
After this game, the players were also very exhausted.
Except for Ronaldo and Rooney, and Hargreaves who later came off the field, everyone else played the full 94 minutes.
The first half was okay, but the pace in the second half sped up.
"Where did he find so many young monsters?" Ferguson felt a headache.
Quiroz is also very good at cultivating young players. The talents shown by the Bayswater Chinese young players in the game are beyond hiding, and he is also very happy to see them.
"In two or three years, when this group of players has grown up, they will be a brand new Bayswater Chinese team!" Queiroz praised with a smile.
Ferguson's frown deepened.
Why doesn’t he know?
"Do you think he lost the FA Cup on purpose? To save his energy to play in the Champions League?" Ferguson asked.
Quiroz turned his head and glanced at Yang Cheng. He was neither happy nor sad. He seemed not to take the cup seriously.
"It shouldn't be intentional. He tried his best in this game, but he didn't arrange the main players to play."
Everyone knows that this is because Yang Cheng promised the players before the season.
"If there were such a group of young players, I would let them play if it were me."
"Oh?" Ferguson was a little surprised.
"Playing an FA Cup final with Manchester United will be of huge benefit to their growth. Even if they lose, it will be worth it!"
Ferguson was a little moved.
Who is Queiroz?
Produced Portugal’s golden generation of youth training masters headed by Figo and Rui Costa.
He is definitely one of the best coaches in world football at developing young players.
Hearing what he said, Ferguson's original good mood of winning the double championship suddenly faded a lot.
Even, I started to worry a little.
On the 21st, the Champions League final!
