Chapter 155 The leader of the new era! The weirdest scene in the history of the Premier League [Please subscribe]
After a narrow victory in the 9th round, in the 10th round three days later, against Wigan Athletic at home, Yang Cheng had to make rotations and arrange for many main players such as Dzeko to have a good rest.
But in the 10th minute, Marcelo sent a low pass from the left to the goal.
Lewandowski scored from close range and opened the scoring for the Bayswater Chinese.
After that, the home team continued to control the situation.
Until the 60th minute, Rakitic passed a free kick in the frontcourt, and there was chaos in the penalty area. Lewandowski quickly inserted into the back point and hit the goal from a small angle, scoring twice.
2 to 0!
Bayswater Chinese defeated Wigan Athletic at home.
This is also Lewandowski's three goals in two consecutive rounds.
The Polish center has also scored 6 goals this season.
Both Yang Cheng and the coaching staff are satisfied with Lewandowski's performance this season.
As Yang Cheng said before, his upward trend is very obvious, one step a year, very stable.
Manchester City lost to Middlesbrough 0-2 away from home in this round.
Although it was a loss, Blue Moon dominated Middlesbrough throughout the game.
But in the 53rd minute, Sturridge fouled White in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty kick.
After that, Manchester City was eager to score, but their opponents took the opportunity to counterattack and scored another goal.
Eriksen's team still has the same old problem, defense!
Chelsea defeated Hull City 3-0 away from home in this round.
Manchester United defeated West Ham United 2-0 at home thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.
Arsenal drew 4-4 with Tottenham in the north London derby.
Liverpool faces Portsmouth at home in this round.
The Red Army took advantage of the home field advantage and dominated Portsmouth throughout the game, but they could not break through the iron barrel formation of the Pompeii Legion.
Until the 75th minute of the second half, Diop accidentally handed the ball in the penalty area and gave Liverpool a penalty kick.
Gerrard sealed the victory with one strike.
……
"Is Liverpool on drugs this season? Why are they playing so hard?"
"Who says it's not the case? I've been chasing him from behind, and I can't get rid of him!"
"Our top six teams have only met one Arsenal, but they have already beaten Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. If we can't close the gap, we will be under greater pressure."
After each round of competition, the coaching staff will have a meeting to summarize and analyze.
Liverpool's victory over Portsmouth was the last game of this round.
In the bright conference room, everyone's emotions were cast into a haze.
Being pestered by a team like this will only increase the pressure.
Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd happened to arrive at the door of the conference room. They looked at each other and saw the worried look in each other's eyes.
If the coaching staff thinks so, the pressure on the players will not be less.
If coaches take the field with this kind of pressure, the pressure on the players will only increase.
So, Yang Cheng thought about it and spoke out.
"Liverpool's rise this season just confirms the correctness and advancement of our strategies over the past few years!"
Yang Cheng's words suddenly silenced the conference room.
"Where did Liverpool's downturn come from last season?"
Yang Cheng didn't wait for the coaches to answer before giving the answer himself.
The Bayswater Chinese coaching staff has summarized and analyzed this.
"Midfield!"
"Especially Xavi Alonso's frequent injuries, which have a great impact on Liverpool."
"But what about this season? Xavi Alonso is healthy, attending every game, and everyone has seen how good his performance is. This kid is holding back his energy and wants to embarrass Benitez!"
Last season, when Xabi Alonso was frequently injured, it was reported that Benitez wanted to sell Xavi Alonso.
This made the Spaniards very dissatisfied.
Although he has stayed this season, Xabi Alonso is also working hard to embarrass Benitez, prove his strength, and prove that he is still the core of Liverpool's midfield.
Everyone can see that Xabi Alonso and Benitez are already at odds with each other.
But on a technical and tactical level, with the addition of Mascherano and Xavi Alonso forming a world-class double midfielder, Gerrard was pushed to the tenth position.
The center position is occupied by Torres.
There are Riera, Babel, and Dossena on the left, and Kuyt, Benayoun, and Pennant on the right.
Perhaps these players are not very strong, but they fit Benitez's 4231 tactics exactly.
Today's Liverpool needs a midfielder with a midfielder, and a forward with a forward.
Torres has solved the stubborn forward problems that have plagued Liverpool for many years.
Gerrard became the second attacker after Torres and also ushered in a big breakout this season.
To some extent, Liverpool this season can be called the strongest Liverpool in recent years.
Better than 2005 and 2007!
The most important link in the entire tactical system is the double midfielder.
This is the key to the 4231 formation!
In Valencia, Benitez had a pair of top midfielders in Albelda and Baraja. Now, he has found a double midfielder combination in Xabi Alonso and Mascherano.
To a certain extent, Liverpool's pair of defensive midfielders are stronger than Valencia's!
Ironically, the double defensive midfielder created by Benitez himself is expected to be dismantled after the end of this season.
Because he voted no confidence in Xavi Alonso last season.
Yang Cheng has actually paid attention to Xavi Alonso, considered it, and even asked the data analysis team to deduce it.
It turns out that if the Bayswater Chinese want to sign Xavi Alonso, they will have to change their formation.
In the current 433 formation, Xavi Alonso is qualified as a single defensive midfielder.
But in today's Premier League environment, it is too risky to let Xabi Alonso play as a single defensive midfielder. The central midfielders Modric and Rakitic must take one and replace Matuidi. Only in this way can there be balance.
Overall, the effect is not necessarily good.
Conversely, if Xabi Alonso is pushed to the No. 8 position, he will not be qualified.
Xabi Alonso's ability to get rid of the ball is not strong. The further forward he is, the worse the effect he can exert.
And if you look closely at Xavi Alonso's long passes, you can easily find that he cannot send precise long passes from the No. 8 position like Toni Kroos.
Again, his magic chanting took a bit long.
The further forward, the tighter the defense, and it is easy to be interrupted midway.
Therefore, Yang Cheng continued to wait for Tony Laoshi.
But this season, Liverpool's success once again proved that Yang Cheng's original decision was right.
"In today's European football, the midfield is the most decisive area!"
Yang Cheng was in the conference room, facing dozens of coaches and employees in front of him, and he gave his judgment very confidently.
"Liverpool are just like us. In fact, they are learning and drawing on our experience."
"Is the combination of Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Mascherano similar to our previous combination of Lars Diarra, Modric and Yaya Toure?"
Players have different characteristics and their roles on the court are slightly different, but the overall functions are similar.
To put it bluntly, it means splitting up the various functions of the midfield and assigning them to different players.
"So, we don't need to worry too much about Liverpool's success, because this in turn proves that we are on the right path, and we are going earlier and faster than Liverpool!"
Whoever wins the midfield wins the world!
It’s a simple sentence, but it’s really difficult to do it!
And as long as it is done and stabilized, Liverpool's rise this season is the best proof!
……
Round 11 of the Premier League.
This is another tough away game.
The Bayswater Chinese visit Goodson Park to challenge Everton.
Moyes' team set up a 451 formation to prepare.
After Yang Cheng's team experienced the peak of its form some time ago, coupled with the increasing overall strength of its opponents, the team's overall performance was relatively sluggish.
But Yang Cheng was not completely unprepared.
Lambert, who came on as a substitute in the 81st minute, received a pass from Maicon from the right in the 87th minute and hit a header in the small penalty area, breaking the deadlock for the Bayswater Chinese.
This is also the only goal in the entire game!
Yang Cheng praised Lambert's performance at the post-match press conference.
"He has always been one of our most trustworthy players!"
Why did they substitute centers continuously in the second half, and finally adopted a three-center strategy?
"Then you ask Moyes later why he keeps replacing defenders and defensive midfielders."
"After 80 minutes, do they still have a forward on the pitch?"
Yang Cheng even jokingly teased Mourinho.
"Sometimes, it is very useful to pile up people in the frontcourt. It is simple, direct and rough!"
All the media reporters who could catch Yang Cheng's laughter burst into laughter.
This is Mourinho's favorite move.
Once the offense is not going well, just pile people on the front line.
The most outrageous thing is that this season at Inter Milan, he once stacked 5 forwards on the forward line.
Yang Cheng wanted to say, I only piled 3 of them.
But no matter what, a 1-0 win is a good thing.
After the game, media reporters also expressed their affirmation of the victory of the Bayswater Chinese.
Especially Lambert who Yang Cheng replaced in the 81st minute.
At the critical moment, this striker, who has been with the team since League Two, is still very useful.
Just use it in the right place.
Chelsea defeated Sunderland 5-0 at home in this round.
Manchester United relied on Ronaldo's brace to narrowly beat Hull City 4-3 at home.
At this stage, Manchester United's frontcourt attacking lineup is already very clear.
Rooney, Berbatov and Ronaldo will become the team's main attacking lineup.
To put it bluntly, it is to change Alan Smith's original role into the current Berbatov.
Many people are even saying that Ferguson is learning from the Bayswater Chinese.
Because Berbatov is regarded as a reduced-function version of Dzeko.
But in this case, Tevez can only be used as a substitute.
With the Argentinian beast's character, Manchester United may be in trouble in the dressing room.
Arsenal relied on two goals from Clichy and Arshavin to reverse Stoke City 2-1 away from home.
Manchester City relied on Kaka's pass and shot to defeat Bolton 2-0 in the away game.
But what makes Yang Cheng most happy is that Liverpool lost 1-2 to Tottenham in an away game.
The Reds dominated the entire game.
Kuyt opened the scoring for Liverpool in the first 3 minutes.
However, Torres was injured and absent, which greatly reduced Liverpool's ability to seize opportunities in the frontcourt.
Robbie Keane, who came over, was not as efficient as Torres.
Therefore, throughout the game, Liverpool had the advantage but did not score.
In the 69th minute of the second half, Carragher's own goal gave Tottenham a glimmer of hope for a lead.
So, at the last moment of the game, Redknapp's substitution, Pavlyuchenko helped Tottenham win another victory.
2-1, Tottenham reversed Liverpool's frequent squandering of opportunities.
After Redknapp took over Tottenham midway, he played very well in both games.
First, they drew with Arsenal 4-4 away from home, and then reversed Liverpool 2-1 at home.
It really goes with that saying, changing coaches is like changing swords!
After this round of games, the Bayswater Chinese scored 30 points with 10 consecutive victories, ranking first in the Premier League.
By the way, so far this season, the Bayswater Chinese have scored 16 consecutive victories on all fronts.
This includes 10 league games, 3 Champions League group stage games, 1 European Super Cup, 1 Community Shield and 1 League Cup.
This shocked the whole world!
Especially considering that this summer, the Bayswater Chinese sold two core humeri in Lars Diarra and Arshavin in one go, and they actually rebounded against the trend!
Yang Cheng's coaching level has also been pushed to a higher level by everyone.
Especially in the league, they are already 4 points ahead.
Don’t forget, the Bayswater Chinese still have one round less to play.
Due to the consecutive double matches in a week, the third round make-up match between Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United has not yet found a suitable time.
With the outstanding performance of the Bayswater Chinese, more and more media and fans are paying attention to this team.
Especially techniques and tactics.
French Football Magazine wrote a special article analyzing the Bayswater Chinese's tactics this season.
I think Yang Cheng's tactics are not new at first glance, and are a bit similar to Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation concept.
But if you dig deeper, you will find that although they look similar on the surface, they are actually nothing alike.
From a regional perspective, Yang Cheng's team placed the ball grabbing area near the midline and did not adopt AC Milan's Italian defense.
The Bayswater Chinese have more offensive methods and stronger attack firepower.
The midfielder's ability to pass and control the ball is also more delicate and excellent than that of AC Milan.
In the frontcourt, the wing composed of Gareth Bale, Di Maria and Walcott is faster than AC Milan.
Dzeko is the all-around center Ancelotti dreams of.
Therefore, this is more like a comprehensively upgraded version of AC Milan.
"More importantly, this team's offense and defense transition is extremely fast. After grabbing the ball, they can always get ahead of the opponent's defense and move the ball to a threatening area in the frontcourt to launch an offensive attack."
"This is a huge headache for all teams, and it is difficult for the defense to stop it!"
French Football Magazine believes that these ideas of Yang Cheng, taken individually, have no real innovation.
They are all things that have appeared before.
“But what’s interesting is that he combined all these into a Premier League team, combined with the fast pace, speed and impact of the Premier League, to create a very innovative and breakthrough team with tactics. A team with a very entertaining style of play! ”
French Football Magazine believes that two very unique teams have emerged in European football this season.
One team is the Bayswater Chinese in the Premier League.
The other team is Barcelona from La Liga.
Guardiola also inherited Barcelona's passing and ball-control style inherited from his predecessors, from Cruyff to Van Gaal to Rijkaard.
On this basis, Barcelona's entire set of ball-control tactics was further improved, creating a Barcelona that is now invincible in La Liga.
Guardiola's team has won eight consecutive La Liga wins.
In these 8 rounds, 33 goals were scored and only 6 goals were conceded.
Both teams have a very unique temperament, but they both hold high the banner of offensive football, and both have injected a breath of fresh blood into European football this season.
"The 29-year-old Yang Cheng and the 37-year-old Guardiola are both subverting the current technical and tactical system of European football!"
"Let's wait and see!"
"Look at these two teams, who will be the leader of the new era!"
……
After a peak period of form, entering November, the Bayswater Chinese's form inevitably declined due to continuous double matches a week.
But this is an objective law.
A truly strong team must be able to defeat the enemy even when it is at its lowest point.
For example, on November 4, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, the Bayswater Chinese played Marseille away.
The French Ligue 1 team once again adopted a 3-midfielder formation, and the home team was prepared to defend and counterattack.
The Bayswater Chinese launched continuous attacks.
Yang Cheng's team has won three consecutive games in the group stage. As long as they win this game, they will qualify as the group leader.
This will take the pressure off the remaining two games.
But precisely because of this, the game becomes more difficult.
Marseille also wanted to keep the spark of hope and played particularly hard at home.
The two sides fought for more than an hour.
Until the 71st minute, when other teams around him were unable to come up with effective offensive methods, Di Maria used his signature trick on the right to send a cross pass to the right side of the penalty area. Modric on the side.
The Croatian used a low shot to break the goal guarded by Mandanda.
This is also the only goal in the game!
Yang Cheng was so excited that he jumped up on the spot.
The Chinese people in Bayswater were all excited.
At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng rarely praised the team's captain Modric by name.
"Some players always make their voices heard on weekdays, but in times of crisis, they become invisible."
"But Modric is exactly the opposite."
"It is difficult for us to hear his voice in normal times, but when the team is in the most difficult times, he is always the bravest and the one who stands up!"
"I'm so proud of our captain!"
For the appreciation from the head coach, Modric also expressed his gratitude in a subsequent interview with media reporters.
"We had a fantastic start to the season, playing the most beautiful football in England and even in Europe!"
"Both me and the whole team, we are in a very good situation and there are no problems between us!"
"For the head coach, I want to use the best words in the world to praise him. He is an extraordinary person and the person I respect and appreciate the most!"
"When I came to England, many people doubted me. I was too thin at the time, and they doubted whether I could play in England, but everyone has seen what happened later."
"In the past few years, the head coach has always supported me and given me strength!"
"It is a very happy thing to have someone who truly believes in you, sees your potential, and keeps pushing behind you."
“So, I am very, very proud that I chose to come to Bayswater Chinese!”
"There are very few Croatians playing in the Premier League, but we proved to everyone that Croatians can also adapt to the Premier League!"
"If I could write a script for the development of my football career, I couldn't write it any better than what I have now!"
"Next, I hope to continue to stay at Bayswater Chinese and continue to contribute all my strength to this team, this group of fans, and everyone!"
"Going to play football in Italy or Spain?"
"I don't know, there are a lot of things that I have no say in, but if I could decide, I would choose to stay!"
Modric rarely showed his feelings and immediately aroused unanimous praise from the Bayswater Chinese fans.
As the captain of the team, Modric has been involved in many scandals in the past two years.
Especially this past summer, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and even Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan all had news about him.
Now, Modric's remarks and this key goal in Marseille have not only caused Bayswater Chinese fans, but also the British media to call on Bayswater Chinese to seize the time to stay. Live this star player.
But in Yang Cheng's view, this statement has another deeper meaning.
Starting this summer, the team is launching a new round of contract renewals. Modric is the first person to renew his contract with the team.
He is the captain of the team and has the highest salary in the team over the past few years.
His contract renewal is related to the subsequent contract renewals of many players, so the contract renewal negotiations between the two parties were not very smooth.
Modric's agent is not satisfied with the team's weekly salary of 70,000 pounds.
Because of this, Modric can get at least 100,000 pounds by jumping to other teams.
Even higher.
Previously, the media broke the news that Modric's contract renewal negotiations with the team broke down.
But now, the Croatian's statement is telling everyone that the contract renewal negotiation is more about salary and benefits, but he does not want to leave the Bayswater Chinese.
Bayswater Chinese CEO Adam Crozier also came forward immediately and said in an interview with media reporters that the team will do its best to retain Modric.
Subsequently, the Bayswater Chinese immediately made an appointment with Modric's agent.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
The two sides once again held negotiations on contract renewal.
The Bayswater Chinese once again increased their contract renewal salary offer, reaching 80,000 pounds.
This has doubled from the contract two years ago.
Modric's statement also stated his position to the agent, so the agent quickly agreed to the salary package.
The two parties began to negotiate on some details of the contract, such as some game bonuses and the like.
Soon, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement.
On the second day after the team returned to London, the Bayswater Chinese officially announced that they had officially reached a contract extension agreement with Modric's team.
Specific remuneration packages will not be announced to the public.
However, the all-pervasive media reporters easily found clues and estimated Modric's weekly salary between 75,000 and 83,000 pounds, which is considered very accurate.
Modric's contract extension can be regarded as reassurance to the locker room and fans.
At the same time, it also provides a good start for the team's new round of contract renewal.
……
Round 12 of the Premier League.
The Gunners defeated Manchester United 2-0 at home thanks to Arshavin's brace.
Ferguson's formation in this game was a bit bad.
The main problem is the midfielder.
He actually arranged a midfield combination of Park Ji-sung, Carrick, Anderson and Ronaldo.
Wenger was stubborn and continued to use the 4231 formation that had performed poorly before. As a result, Arshavin defeated Manchester United directly in the middle.
Liverpool defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-0 at home.
Chelsea defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0 on the road thanks to Anelka's brace.
Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at home with goals from Kaká and Robinho.
It is worth mentioning that Eriksen's three points at home were scored in the first half when Dutch midfielder De Jong accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card.
It can be said that there was one less player than Tottenham for a long time, but Kaka's counterattack goal in the 64th minute sealed the victory of the game.
And the facts also proved Yang Cheng's previous judgment.
After Kaka came to the Premier League, there was indeed no problem of adaptation and integration.
Especially in Eriksson's 4231 formation.
Adebayor burst forward, Robinho, Kaká and Wright-Phillips played on the wings, and the double midfielders gathered players such as Inler, Gareth Barry and De Jong.
The only major shortcoming is the defense.
Manchester City's current defense is really stretched, which has a great impact on the team.
Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese take on Newcastle at Wembley Stadium.
This game was still relatively sluggish.
Although in the 23rd minute of the opening, Gareth Bale scored with a low shot from the left side of the penalty area.
But in the second half, Newcastle counterattacked and sent a cross from Duff. Ameobi scored in front of the goal and successfully equalized the score.
Subsequently, for most of the game, it was difficult for the Bayswater Chinese to threaten Newcastle's goal.
Until the 86th minute, at a critical moment, Dzeko leaned against Argentine defender Coloccini in the penalty area. After stopping the ball, he turned around and scored with a low shot with his left foot.
2 to 1!
Bayswater Chinese finally won another 3 points at home!
……
Since midweek is the top 16 of the League Cup, Yang Cheng will still arrange all young and substitute lineups to play as usual.
Therefore, after Yang Cheng finished playing Newcastle, he gave several main players a two-day holiday to let them have a good rest.
The weekend is to face the North London team Tottenham Hotspur.
This is also a tough battle.
In the round of 16 of the League Cup in midweek, the Bayswater Chinese met the Red Army Liverpool.
Both teams played with full substitute lineups, but Liverpool arranged for Torres, who had returned from injury, to start.
This is obviously to allow Torres to find his form in the League Cup.
Although the Bayswater Chinese are said to be substitutes, in fact, the forward combination of Hazard, Lewandowski and Theo Walcott is still arranged.
This poses a very big threat to Liverpool.
Especially before the end of the first half, the Bayswater Chinese launched a wave of powerful offensives in just 10 minutes.
The midfielder composed of Matuidi, Matic and Aaron Ramsey kept delivering cannonballs to the teammates in front.
First, Walcott assisted Lewandowski to score in the 37th minute.
Then Hazard assisted Walcott to score in the 41st minute.
This attack is what Yang Cheng has been preparing for.
After Hazard took the ball from the left and cut inside, he sent an overhead pass with his right foot to the right side of the penalty area. Walcott quickly made a diagonal pass and hit the goal directly.
The entire offensive coordination was very beautiful, making it impossible for Liverpool's defense to stop him.
It is precisely because of this experience that in the stoppage time of the first half, Marcello followed suit and sent another wonderful pass from the left. Walcott once again crossed behind him and scored after receiving the ball. Liverpool's goal.
3 to 0!
Although only 2 minutes into the second half, Hyypia scored with a frontcourt free kick.
But the Bayswater Chinese scored again in the 51st minute when Aaron Ramsey sent a direct pass and Lewandowski scored again.
In the end, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Liverpool 4-1 at home.
But everyone can see that Benitez is not the main force at all.
The victory in this game can only prove that the Bayswater Chinese are stronger than Liverpool in terms of bench thickness!
There was also an upset in this round.
Scolari's Chelsea drew 1-1 at home with Burnley, but lost in the final penalty shootout.
This made the more than 40,000 fans at Stamford Bridge very dissatisfied.
The most important thing is that the Blues actually injured many main players.
Including Drogba, Malouda, Kalou, Deco, Lampard, Mikel, Alex, Ferreira, Belletti and so on.
But playing like this is still very disappointing.
……
This weekend, the 13th round of the Premier League.
With the support of the sports science department, Yang Cheng's current physical and psychological control of first-team players is obviously at a higher level than before.
After two days of rest and a week of adjustments, the Bayswater Chinese showed up at Wembley Stadium over the weekend and their condition has improved significantly.
Redknapp arranged a 451 formation in this game.
It is not the 451 of 4231, but directly goes to the three defensive midfielders, leaving Darren Bent on the forward line to fight back, and the center back also has a combination of Ledley King and Woodgate.
This is a set of tactics that is almost like an iron barrel array.
Redknapp's away goal is fully demonstrated.
But even so, Tottenham only held on for 35 minutes.
Di Maria made a dribbling break from the left and then passed in. Dzeko headed the ball into the Tottenham goal.
After changing sides in the second half, Di Maria created a corner kick opportunity on the left in the 70th minute.
Leighton Baines quickly made a penalty into the penalty area, and Pepe hit the goal with a header to expand the score.
2 to 0!
Tottenham used a counterattack in the 91st minute and Darren Bent scored a goal.
In the end, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Tottenham 2-1 at home and scored all 3 points at home!
But Liverpool also defeated Bolton Wanderers 2-0 away from home with goals from Kuyt and Gerrard.
Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 2-0 at home with goals from Benzema and Arshavin.
Manchester United even relied on Ronaldo's brace to beat Stoke City 5-0 at home.
Chelsea also defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-0 away from home.
Manchester City defeated Hull City 2-1 away from home.
Kaka scored twice.
……
After 13 rounds of games, Bayswater Chinese ranked first in the Premier League with 12 consecutive victories and 36 points.
Followed by Liverpool with 32 points, Chelsea and Arsenal both ranked third and fourth with 29 points.
Manchester United scored 27 points and ranked 5th.
Manchester City is ranked 6th with 25 points.
Regarding the current situation of the Premier League, the outside world is full of praise for the Bayswater Chinese's winning streak, but at the same time, it also leaves hidden worries.
That is, the Bayswater Chinese have only played one game with Arsenal, a top-6 team in the league so far.
Manchester United's round was postponed indefinitely.
The upcoming schedule will be a great test for the Bayswater Chinese.
Especially in December.
The Chinese in Bayswater are going to play in the Club World Cup, and when the time comes to travel back and forth, the situation will be greatly affected.
The only thing that is certain at present is that the 18th round home game against Middlesbrough will be postponed due to the Club World Cup.
This is bound to further compress the Bayswater Chinese schedule in the second half of the season.
The Bayswater Chinese themselves are worried about the schedule.
Yang Cheng and the coaching staff have deduced that if the make-up game is in January, the situation will be fine.
The most fearful thing is that the make-up time is scheduled to February or March.
At that time, the team had to face multi-front battles and play make-up games in the league. This was the most critical thing.
Of course, make-up games cannot be made at any time.
It seems that until now this season, Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United have been fighting on two fronts, with almost no chance to breathe, so there has been no chance to make up the game in the third round of the league.
Come January, both sides will have to consider the cup competition.
It's impossible for Yang Cheng to say that the team should give up a certain cup competition just for a make-up game, right?
Besides, even if the Bayswater Chinese lose and take time out, Manchester United and Middlesbrough must take time out.
Otherwise, how to make up the game?
So, the whole thing is very troublesome.
Yang Cheng also made a special call to Ferguson, and the two parties made an agreement to quickly play the make-up game if they could spare time in January.
No one is willing to leave such an important strong dialogue until February or March, or even later.
"Jazz, if you lose to Blackburn in the League Cup quarter-finals on December 3, then we can make up the game in January."
"At that time, we can let you some, arrange two lineups, and play the game for two consecutive days!"
Yang Cheng's bad idea made Ferguson furious.
Manchester United has already been squeezed out of the top four this season, are they still going to be hit like this?
"If you lose, we can play the game two days in a row." Ferguson snorted.
"Is your lineup configured enough?" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"Is that enough? You'll know when you get on the court!" Ferguson had bad intentions.
It can be heard that he is also very dissatisfied with Manchester United's situation in the Premier League this season.
On the one hand, the strength of competitors has become stronger, especially Arsenal and Liverpool, both of which have performed very well this season.
Even Manchester City is catching up.
This made Ferguson feel the pressure.
……
As the Bayswater Chinese become more and more powerful, this season has seen the resurgence of Arsenal and Liverpool, coupled with the rise of Manchester City, the entire Premier League has experienced the most competitive season in history.
Not only is there a small point gap between the top 6 teams, but the point gap between the 10th place in the league and the relegation zone is also only 4 points.
This means that teams currently ranked in the middle may fall into the relegation zone every minute.
This is due to the strong purchasing power shown by Premier League teams this summer.
The stronger the team, the more difficult it is to improve and the higher the investment.
With the same investment of 10 million pounds, for the mid-to-lower-tier teams, it may even be completely reborn.
But for the top-ranked teams, it’s basically just a drizzle.
Last season, after the Premier League broadcast revenue increased significantly, the purchasing power of mid- and lower-tier teams also increased.
This makes the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League this season very close in strength.
There is no such thing as an underdog.
Therefore, this season's Premier League is known as the most fiercely competitive season since its establishment in 1992.
Between the 13th and 14th rounds, it is the national team match day in November.
No one expected that after the 14th round, the most bizarre scene that had never happened in the history of the Premier League would occur.
In this round, the Bayswater Chinese visited Anfield Stadium to challenge Liverpool away from home.
Yang Cheng's team shot 33 shots in the entire game.
In addition to the fact that many international players are too tired and sluggish, it is also because of Liverpool's strict defense.
In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 0-0.
Chelsea drew 0-0 at home with Newcastle.
Manchester City drew 0-0 with Arsenal at home.
Manchester United drew 0-0 away from Aston Villa.
So far this season, the Premier League has averaged over 25 goals per round.
As a result, in this round, a total of 12 goals were scored in 10 Premier League games.
The biggest score was Bolton's 3-1 away win over Middlesbrough.
Portsmouth drew 2-2 at home with Hull City.
Eight goals were scored in these two games.
Except for the first 4 games in the Premier League, which were all 0-0, the remaining 4 games were all decided by one goal.
This resulted in the most bizarre scene in the history of the Premier League.
That is, among the top 6 teams, none of them have won.
Not only did they not win, but the top 6 teams didn’t even score a single goal!
All the teams seemed to have made an "appointment" together.
The reason for this strange scene is actually very simple. FIFA arranged this national team match in the middle of the 13th and 14th rounds.
According to the previous schedule, there will be no major national team events in November.
The World Cup qualifiers will not be scheduled in November either.
Therefore, the national team competition in November is a friendly match, but it is also an A-level event.
According to previous regulations, clubs have no way to prevent the national team from recruiting international players.
So all kinds of weird things happened.
Among the Chinese national teams in Bayswater, Argentina is better. The warm-up match is arranged in Scotland, and it is very convenient for Di Maria to play against Scotland.
Bosnia and Herzegovina plays a match with Slovenia nearby, but Dzeko also has to fly there.
Germany played a warm-up match with England in Berlin, and Neuer, Theo Walcott and other international players were there.
The most outrageous ones are Brazil and Portugal.
The two sides played a friendly match and directly recruited a large number of international players.
Pepe, Marcelo, Maicon, Thiago Silva and others are all on the list.
The most outrageous thing is that the two sides actually arranged this mid-week friendly match in Brazil.
And it was arranged in a small place on the outskirts of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, in a stadium that can only accommodate 20,000 people.
Good guys, after the 13th round of the Premier League, the international players went to report to the national team without stopping, and then flew to Brazil.
After they moved to the place, played the game, and then returned.
Manchester United's performance this season was poor, and Ferguson was simply a powder keg that exploded immediately.
He publicly criticized FIFA and the Football Association in the media, believing that such friendly matches have no meaning at all except making money.
"I don't understand, what's the point of FIFA imposing such a deadly task on the club?"
"We have no way to protect our players. They have every reason to get adequate rest!"
"Unfortunately, this kind of competition is using their name to sell money!"
There are also many international players in Wenger's team, and they also hate this kind of game.
"In order to protect the players, we give up many opportunities to make money. We reject countless commercial competitions every year, with each game worth 1 million pounds, and there are too many invitations to count."
"But in order to make money, they took away our players at the most critical moment of the league. This is very outrageous!"
Former England national team coach Eriksson used to quarrel with Ferguson and Wenger when he was the national team coach, but now, he is also standing on the same front and speaking out with the same gun.
"In fact, many times, the national team coach is very dissatisfied with this kind of competition, and the players are also very unhappy."
"This is a very unnecessary behavior and they have a complete disregard for the interests of the club and the players."
Of course, Yang Cheng did not miss this opportunity. He pointed out in the media that in order to restrict the national team from recruiting players, they should be allowed to pay for recruiting players to participate in games, not only the payment, but also all salary expenses and club expenses during the injury period. loss.
"I believe this is a way to effectively restrain the national team and regulate international competitions."
Yang Cheng's proposal quickly aroused widespread heated discussion.
Including Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, and even Eriksson and Scolari, two former national team coaches, strongly agree.
The head coaches of the top 6 teams in the Premier League all came forward one after another. Coupled with such a strange scene in the score, the media and fans around the world instantly went crazy.
The British media launched an all-out attack with full firepower.
This is indeed outrageous!
The national team's unscrupulous recruitment of international players has seriously affected clubs and leagues.
The total number of goals scored is less than half the average.
Think about it, this is not too outrageous!
The momentum created by the Premier League was quickly responded to by wealthy teams such as Serie A, Bundesliga, and La Liga.
It can be said that teams in major European leagues have been suffering from the national team for a long time.
Amid the heated public sentiment, FIFA had no choice but to come forward and say that starting from 2009, it will carefully arrange the national team's schedule and try to minimize the impact of the league.
