Chapter 160 The darkest moment of the Premier League! Ferguson: It's all your fault, the Bayswater Chinese turned around [Please subscribe]
The transfer market during the winter break in 2009 was a bit deserted.
Except Real Madrid signing Huntelaar from Ajax for a transfer fee of 25 million pounds, there was basically no big news.
25 million pounds, if placed half a year ago, would have been a blockbuster transfer worth close to 40 million euros.
What about February 1, 2009?
In fact, it is 27 million euros.
Yes, the pound is now worth less than the euro.
So, during this winter break, there were almost no big moves in the Premier League.
The only thing worth mentioning is that Tottenham Hotspur took back Robbie Keane from Liverpool.
But this transfer didn’t cost much.
Why?
Because the transfer fee for Liverpool to sign Robbie Keane from Tottenham is probably not much paid so far.
So, Tottenham Hotspur is really good.
Buying their players not only comes with a three-pack, but they also come with no-reason returns within six months.
Yang Cheng was wondering whether he should have a good chat with Daniel Levy another day to see if he could get a refund.
That’s really delicious!
The sharp decline in the pound exchange rate, coupled with the fact that the current situation of Premier League clubs is not particularly good, has led to a general tightening of money in the Premier League.
The only ones that still have the ability to spend a lot of money in the transfer market are Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Manchester City is backed by the Abu Dhabi consortium, which is not short of money. This situation would have been the best time for them to take action.
But because the team's current performance is not very good, there is news that Manchester City is preparing to fire Eriksen.
There are many candidates to replace Eriksen, such as former Inter Milan coach Mancini, AC Milan coach Ancelotti, La Liga Villarreal coach Pellegrini, etc.
These are the most popular coaches in European football today.
Of course, these are rumors from outside media.
But Yang Cheng knew clearly in his heart that the reason why Manchester City was unwilling to sign players during the winter break was to reserve their strength to make a big move in the summer.
Because it took them a year to finally convince Ancelotti.
According to the news Yang Cheng received from the industry, both parties have even reached an agreement.
Moreover, Ancelotti has submitted the lineup, transfers, tactics and various data indicators he needs to Manchester City, and has been recognized by Manchester City.
Ancelotti will officially take office in June.
This is completely different from Yang Cheng’s previous life.
As early as May 2008, before Kaká moved to Manchester City, Ancelotti had met with Chelsea twice, in Geneva and Paris, both at official events.
What's interesting is that Chelsea requires both parties to maintain strict confidentiality.
Unexpectedly, a few hours later, the news of the meeting between Ancelotti and Abramovich in Paris appeared in major newspapers in Europe. AC Milan General Manager Galliani was also the first Time to ask Ancelotti.
This made Ancelotti realize that Chelsea is a grassroots team that leaks information everywhere.
Later, Chelsea chose Scolari, and the reason given to Ancelotti was that the Brazilian spoke better English than Ancelotti.
When Yang Cheng met Ancelotti in the early stages of the season, he deliberately made fun of him about this matter.
Unlike Chelsea's messing around, Manchester City seems to be extremely professional in doing things.
When they were pursuing Kaká, they were also contacting Ancelotti.
When Kaka was convinced by Manchester City's grand plan, he also strongly recommended Ancelotti to coach Manchester City.
Ancelotti also had enough of his time at AC Milan, so he began to consider leaving Serie A.
After contacting Manchester City, Ancelotti felt good, especially the ambition of the investors, as well as the trust and support for the head coach, which made Ancelotti feel that Manchester City has a lot to do.
Fans will think that Manchester City is a nouveau riche. If they don't play in the Champions League, their results will not be good...
But for a head coach, as long as he is given enough money, his performance will improve very quickly.
How long did it take for Chelsea to improve their results?
After Abramovich spent a summer, Ranieri led the team to the Champions League semi-finals.
In the final analysis, professional football is about burning money!
It depends on whether you can get a fever!
It is said that during the suspension of Serie A, Manchester City Chairman Mubarak personally went to Milan to meet with Ancelotti, and the two parties formally reached an agreement.
According to the information obtained by Yang Cheng, Ancelotti's first transfer to Manchester City was Pirlo!
This made Yang Cheng feel both stressed and excited.
Ancelotti went to Manchester City!
Who would have thought?
With Manchester City’s financial resources and Ancelotti’s ability to look after others and integrate the team, Blue Moon’s rise will be faster than Yang Cheng expected.
As for Chelsea...
Yang Cheng can only say that some of Abramovich's actions are worthy of everything he has received now.
By the way, Yang Cheng also received information.
The salary package offered by Manchester City to Ancelotti is an annual salary of 20 million pounds for three years.
And his current annual salary at AC Milan is only 4.2 million euros.
……
The Premier League’s winter break transfers were sluggish. In addition to exchange rates, clubs and other reasons, there was also a piece of news that shocked the entire English professional football world.
The British government will once again increase the income tax rate for high-income groups.
It's just media reports at the moment and nothing has been confirmed yet.
But everyone knows that the government always ventilates the information first, gives everyone an expectation in advance, explores the market trends, and then officially releases it at the right time.
The so-called high-income people are those with an annual income of more than 150,000 pounds.
The current tax rate is 40%, but the government wants to increase it to 50%.
In other words, high-income people have to pay taxes on half of their annual salary every year.
This compares with 43% in Germany and Italy and 40% in France.
Spain is the lowest. Due to the Beckham Act that year, the number of foreign players in Spain was only 25% in the first three years.
“The current economic situation is very bad. On the one hand, the British government wants to boost the economy, so it must keep cutting interest rates, but at the same time it must stabilize the exchange rate.”
“Now, they are using the sickle It’s not surprising that it targets high-income people.”
“Look, the media doesn’t even report it, and the response from all walks of life is not strong.”
Xia Qing's view on this matter is that it's basically settled!
It is normal that the media did not report it and that all sectors of society did not react strongly.
But professional players, especially those in the Premier League and English Championship, reacted very strongly.
Because they basically belong to the group that has been cut off.
“Now, we are under increasing pressure. The exchange rate with the euro has dropped to 1 to 0.9, and taxes are going to be increased here. With the two sides attacking us, life for our club will be very difficult!”
Adam Crozier was also one of the leeks who was cut, but he still considered the problem from the club's perspective.
Omar Berada is the worst, his family is basically in the euro zone.
But for executives like them, they will not easily give up a job with such high quality and development potential as Bayswater Chinese.
"My preliminary estimate is that it won't be so fast. A buffer time will be given, and it will not be until 2010 at the earliest." Yang Cheng gave his own judgment.
He didn’t dare to speak too harshly.
In his previous life, tax increases began in April 2010.
The depreciation of the pound, even if it returned to an exchange rate of about 1:1.25 in mid-2009, but with the tax increase in April 2010, the Premier League directly lost a number of high-level stars and ushered in The darkest hour!
Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi Alonso, Alex Song, Mascherano and more.
Real Madrid and Barcelona can almost be said to have no rivals in the Premier League.
In order to retain their players, the Premier League teams had to resort to the double-edged sword of salary increases again, giving players salary increases and bearing all the costs of exchange rates and tax increases.
As a result, the salaries of Premier League players have further increased.
This wave also led to the competitiveness of the top teams in the entire Premier League. After 2010, there was a sharp decline.
La Liga’s 25% tax rate is too lethal!
For the same player, if he wants to get an after-tax annual salary of 5 million pounds, the Premier League club will have to spend 10 million pounds.
What about La Liga?
They only need to come up with £6.66 million.
This is only one person.
What about a club?
What about the 20 clubs?
Not to mention the coaches and employees.
But there is really no way.
In front of the national government and in the context of the global economic crisis, football clubs are really inconspicuous.
"We must prepare for the impact in advance. Players will renew their contracts if they can. No matter what, we must strictly abide by the salary system and leave enough bullets for ourselves!"
Yang Cheng looked towards Xia Qing, Adam Crozier and others said very seriously.
“This is a protracted battle, not an overnight battle. We need to respond comprehensively.”
"We don't care how other teams increase their salary. By 2012, our maximum salary will rise to 100,000 pounds at most!"
From the past to the present, in the continuous wave of salary increases, the Bayswater Chinese people are It was pushed forward.
But Yang Cheng would never be able to use up all the bullets in his hand at once.
Results are of course important, but the club's financial health and sustainable operations are the most critical.
Therefore, a new stadium must be built and youth training must continue to invest.
The player compensation system must be strictly controlled.
“In the past few years, especially the last two years, with the soaring value of Premier League broadcast rights and the great success of commercialization, Premier League teams have become more and more generous, and player salaries have also increased. "
"Now, with the depreciation of the pound and the increase in income tax, two big mountains are coming down. I don't know how many Premier League teams will fall into the quagmire."
"We Bayswater Chinese must not. Go on this road!"
Yang Cheng said loudly.
If it really can't meet the players' requirements, then sell it!
It’s worth sacrificing performance to ensure the club’s financial stability!
“On the other hand, we must speed up our business development progress, open up channels as much as possible, increase business income, and improve the club’s overall revenue.”
Speaking of this, Yang Cheng saw To Adam Crozier and Omar Berada.
“Your commercial department must work harder and strive to go to the United States this year to play another big game.”
Adam Crozier and Omar Berada both nodded.
The Bayswater Chinese trip to the United States has been in preparation for 2 years, and is almost ready in many aspects.
“In the next period of time, both of us will frequently go to the United States for inspections and negotiations, and strive to produce an eye-catching report card!” Adam Crozier promised with a smile.
It can be seen that he is very confident.
Yang Cheng looked at Chris Hunter again.
At present, the Chinese satellite training center in Bayswater has opened its eighth one, but other Premier League teams seem to have not yet reacted.
Maybe, I noticed it, but I didn’t want to follow.
But Yang Cheng still said the same thing, his investment in youth training will not waver.
"Chris, you have to keep an eye on the infrastructure of the new stadium and don't make any mistakes. You have also seen the current situation. All of us must have a 120,000-point spirit!" "
Chris Hunter and Yang Cheng are old friends, and they promised on the spot that there would never be any problems on their side.
Yang Cheng's so-called problems are mostly financial.
There is a third-party supervisor responsible for quality, so Yang Cheng is not worried.
As for finance, Xia Qing also has very strict control, and suppliers are strictly selected and compared.
But the specific things at the construction site are watched by Chris Hunter, the director of the infrastructure department. Of course, Yang Cheng wants to put the responsibility on his shoulders.
“The current situation can be regarded as a critical period of life and death for Newcastle, Everton, Tottenham and many other teams.”
When Yang Cheng talks about life and death, he does not mean grades.
In the face of the club's financial collapse, results on the pitch don't matter at all.
Unless it is relegated from the Premier League.
“But conversely, the more we reach this critical moment of life and death, the more we overtake in corners, the more critical period we have to accumulate foundation, so we need to forge ahead even more!”
The Bayswater Chinese are in no existential danger.
But what Yang Cheng wants to do is to use this opportunity to overtake in a corner and completely lay the foundation for the Bayswater Chinese in the Premier League and European football!
This foundation depends not only on the results on the court, but also on the influence off the court, but also on the overall strength of the club!
……
Between the 24th and 25th rounds of the Premier League, there is a week’s rest.
Yang Cheng originally suggested that Ferguson arrange the make-up match on this day.
There are basically no problems with the Premier League and broadcasters.
But Ferguson once again refused.
Yang Cheng accepted the reason Ferguson gave this time.
From Christmas to now, the players of both teams have been playing non-stop.
Coupled with injuries, state fluctuations and other factors, both teams are not in very good shape now.
Ferguson felt that after finally having a week of rest in early February, why not take advantage of the opportunity?
It has been going on like this, and the next time we play in the Champions League, our condition is not guaranteed.
But the make-up games cannot be dragged on endlessly. The next step is the restart of the Champions League.
So, Yang Cheng made another call to Ferguson.
"I have chosen February 18th!" Ferguson said on the phone.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, it's February 18th."
After Ferguson finished speaking, he was still on the phone with a cheerful smile: "You think about it, before the 18th. The weekend is the fifth round of the FA Cup. The following weekend, you will play at home. West Bromwich Albion, who are at the bottom, are playing Blackburn at home.”
“Speaking of it, we are still suffering”
In the week of the fifth round of the FA Cup. , is a friendly match for the national team, and the call-up list has already been sent out.
If Ferguson didn't say that he suffered a loss in the end, Yang Cheng would have forgotten it.
As soon as he heard that the old man had taken advantage and still behaved, he immediately felt a little unhappy.
We can’t spoil him!
"Yes, West Bromwich Albion is currently at the bottom of the standings, but it is only 2 points behind Blackburn, and its strength is only half the same."
"But Jazz, you Do you think I’m stupid? In the fifth round of the FA Cup, you are playing against Derby County, but we are playing against Aston Villa!”
Being exposed by Yang Cheng in front of the phone, no matter how thick-skinned Ferguson was, he had to hide it with an embarrassed smile.
Finally, he had to say a few soft words.
When there are too many games, there are really a lot of troubles.
"Okay, okay, okay, we are great, we are so far ahead of you, I don't mind giving you some, just February 18th, we won't change it!"
"We won't change it!" Ferguson agreed.
By arranging it on this day, he took advantage of it.
"Okay, it's a deal."
After the agreement was made, both parties simultaneously faxed the report to the Premier League.
The make-up time is officially set for February 18th.
What a coincidence, we will be visiting Old Trafford on February 18th, and we will play Manchester United at home on March 21st.
There was only one month between the two rounds.
Yang Cheng actually has his own considerations.
In the knockout round of the Champions League round of 16, the Bayswater Chinese met Real Madrid, while Manchester United drew Panathinaikos of Greece.
If we really want to push the schedule further, it will basically be between the top 16 knockout rounds.
This will have a greater impact on the Chinese people in Bayswater.
But it's not Yang Cheng's style to make Ferguson and Manchester United so cheap.
So, he took out his mobile phone and called Adam Crozier.
One is to tell him about the scheduled make-up time, and the other is to ask him to notify the news department and "publicize" it.
Manchester United were afraid of the Bayswater Chinese, so they tried every means to shirk the make-up time, and finally chose a time that was extremely beneficial to them.
What is this?
This is called cowardice before fighting!
“I don’t believe it, you’re still disgusted to death!” Yang Cheng snorted and laughed.
……
One week later, the 25th round of the Premier League.
London’s Upton Park Stadium, Manchester United challenged West Ham United away.
When the game entered the 78th minute of the second half, Ronaldo received a wonderful pass from Scholes and rushed into the West Ham United penalty area with the ball. Central defender Nell rushed over quickly.
When the Portuguese had already stepped into the penalty area, Nel could not hold back and knocked down the Portuguese directly.
The referee Phil Dodd immediately blew the whistle, quickly pointed to the penalty spot, and at the same time pulled out a yellow card from his chest.
This is Nel's second yellow card.
In the first half, he got one while defending Ronaldo.
Two yellow cards turned into a ruby good man card, sending the West Ham United right back straight back to rest.
In the entire Upton Park Stadium, more than 35,000 Hammers fans let out deafening boos.
But in front of the visiting team’s coaching bench, Ferguson clenched his right fist hard and shouted, yes!
"Zola has really played well since he coached West Ham United. The whole team is very organized. He deserves to be the head coach of Italy!"
Ferguson walked back to the visiting team's coaching bench and said verbally Praising West Ham United head coach Zola.
Anyone who knows him knows that.
His intention of praising Zola is obvious.
Such a powerful person, didn’t he lose to me and our Manchester United in the end?
“There will be another Italian in the Premier League next season, and the competition will be even more intense by then!”
Ferguson is talking about Ancelotti.
From a technical and tactical perspective, Zola put out the fire midway. After taking office, West Ham United did play well.
The offensive transformation was very successful, the ground cooperation was very tacit, the team advanced layer by layer, and the rhythm was relatively fast.
The defense is checked at all levels, not easily leaving space and loopholes for the opponent.
Zola himself has said in the media more than once that he was influenced by Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese.
But there is still a very obvious gap between West Ham United's overall strength and the Bayswater Chinese.
But this has caused great trouble for Manchester United.
The most important thing is that the tridents were not fully used.
"Giggs's condition is a bit bad, we need to think of a solution."
Ferguson sat in the coaching bench and said with regret.
If in the past, when Queiroz was still here, when Ferguson finished saying this, he would definitely come up with several feasible plans and then discuss with Ferguson which one was better. Suitable for Giggs now.
But now, after Ferguson finished speaking, assistant coach Mike Phelan was waiting there with a notebook, looking at Ferguson, ready to record at any time.
This made Ferguson think of Queiroz for no reason.
I miss him so much after being separated for more than half a year!
C Ronaldo took the penalty calmly and scored the first goal for Manchester United!
But Ferguson was in no mood to go out and celebrate.
On the contrary, many people around him seemed extremely excited.
After all, it took nearly 80 minutes of hard work to score such a goal.
Although it was a penalty kick.
Ferguson can already predict that after the game is over, many people will definitely say that Manchester United took advantage of the referee.
When he thought of this, Ferguson thought of Yang Cheng.
That damn brat actually gave it to the media to hype up Manchester United because he was afraid of the Bayswater Chinese, and because Ferguson was afraid of Yang Cheng, so he deliberately messed with the schedule!
NND, can you say this nonsense?
The brat doesn’t even know how much trouble this has caused Ferguson and how long he has been wiping his butt.
"The Bayswater Chinese play Wigan Athletic away at 15:00, right?" Ferguson suddenly asked.
“Yes,” Mike Phelan replied.
"As soon as there is news over there, send it to me." Ferguson said maliciously.
He also wanted to give Yang Cheng a stumbling block. It's better to let this brat know who is the king of the Premier League!
Manchester United finally narrowly defeated West Ham United 1-0 in an away game thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty kick.
And just when Ferguson took the players back to the locker room to tidy up, changed their clothes, and attended the post-game press conference.
At the press conference, another media member asked him about the schedule, which made Ferguson so angry that he almost turned around and left.
This group of media just likes to stir up trouble and expose people’s scars!
When all the matters were dealt with and Ferguson took the players onto the bus and prepared to return to Manchester, Mike Phelan brought a piece of good news.
Wigan Athletic scored!
“Did you really score a goal?” Ferguson was so happy.
At this moment, he really felt that the wise and mighty God finally heard his prayer!
“Yes, the corner kick created by forward Mido, when defending, the clearance did not go far. Mido volleyed from the outside, which was very beautiful. Neuer was immediately disarmed.” Mike Felan laughed and said.
"Great, this kid Mido is really good. I liked him back then. It's a pity that if he hadn't almost killed Ibrahimovic by mistake, I might have signed him!"< br>
When Ferguson heard the great news, his breasts felt smoother.

"Hey, by the way, isn't there that 3G live broadcast now? Come on, open it for me, I want to watch the game live."
......
Wigan JJB Stadium.
Yang Cheng stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench and calmly observed the game on the field.
Wigan Athletic played quite well in this game.
Steve Bruce threatened before the game that he would snipe the Bayswater Chinese.
In this game, he made full use of the physical advantages of Wigan Athletic players. Instead of blindly defending, he actively pressed and pressed near the midline.
Through this kind of running without hesitation and high-intensity physical confrontation, they completely disrupted the rhythm of the Bayswater Chinese game.
Of course, Yang Cheng also reflected on his team.
In the past few months, the team has been tense.
Almost every week is a doubleheader.
Until now, we finally have a week's rest, and the players have relaxed a little.
As a result, Wigan Athletic targeted them.
However, although Wigan Athletic played rough, their movements were not large, so they received a yellow card.
This is somewhat the reason why the referee prefers to enforce the law at home.
Yang Cheng did not make substitutions during the halftime break, but criticized the players, believing that their poor performance was because they relaxed their requirements on themselves, which led to the passiveness of the game.
For the second half, Yang Cheng still asked the players to actively press and win the midfield.
“I don’t believe that their high-intensity running and physical confrontation can last the entire game!”
“After 55 minutes, we will definitely be able to regain the advantage!”
After the start of the second half, the two teams basically continued the trend of the first half.
Neither side could create a chance.
The Bayswater Chinese's game rhythm was interrupted again and again.
Wigan Athletic's two wings, Hugo Rodalega and Antonio Valencia, both have great speed.
To some extent, the shadow of the Bayswater Chinese can also be seen in this Wigan Athletic team.
Because they also play a formation similar to 433, and the high center is Mido.
The only difference is the midfield.
The Bayswater Chinese midfield set up cannot be copied casually.
There is also the player's personal ability, and the overall advantage of the team that is built up by the advantages of personal ability.
In the 59th minute, it was Antonio Valencia who dribbled the ball from the right and broke into the Bayswater Chinese penalty area.
Thiago Silva spotted the right opportunity, cleverly got close to the ball, cut between Valencia and the football, successfully stole the ball, and cleared the ball with one kick.
The ball came to the feet of Honduras left back Menor Figueroa.
This is also a major strategy for Wigan Athletic to form a team.
Old man Whelan is very shrewd and good at calculations, and he has gathered a group of international players from Colombia, Honduras, and Ecuador.
This group of players is good but cheap.
For example, Hugo Rodalega, he is the Colombian international.
When Figueroa dribbled the ball forward along the left and came to the 30-meter area of the Bayswater Chinese, Walcott suddenly followed up and cooperated with Modric to defend.
The Croatian kicked the ball forward.
After Dzeko was injured, Lewandowski started the game.
The Polish center retreated quickly, with his back to the direction of attack. Without stopping the ball, he faced the ball directly and swept sideways.
The ball went to Rakitic's feet.
Rakitic dribbled the ball forward along the left side of the center circle.
After passing the center line and rushing to the outside of Wigan Athletic's 30-meter area, Rakitic immediately sent a kick from behind.
I saw Di Maria running all the way at extremely fast speed, instantly getting rid of former Chelsea right back Melchiot, rushing into the penalty area first, and catching up with Rakitic's pass. , the low ball with his left foot was passed to the back point.
Everyone in the stadium was obviously stunned at this moment.
Including goalkeeper Kirkland.
Lewandowski is still far away, and Rakitic has not arrived.
Pass the ball to the right wing to whom?
But the next second, a red figure, like lightning, ruthlessly broke into everyone's field of vision.
On this court, there is only one person who can possess such amazing speed.
“The ball went in!!!”
"Walcott!!!"
"Theo Walcott scored the key goal for the Bayswater Chinese!"
"1 to 1!"
“The little tiger has made great achievements again!”
“He should thank Di Maria for his assist!”
"But we also have to see that Walcott sprinted a full 70 meters in a very short period of time."
"This is simply unbelievable!"
“Walcott’s speed is so fast!”
Yang Cheng was so excited on the sidelines that he jumped up.
The assistants on the coaching bench behind him all cheered excitedly.
But soon, Yang Cheng signaled the players to continue pressing.
He saw it.
Wigan Athletic's physical energy has been almost exhausted.
They struggled to hold on for an hour, running regardless of their physical strength and constantly fighting against each other.
With their ability to pass and control the ball far inferior to that of the Bayswater Chinese, they could only rely on burning their own physical energy to maintain their suppression of the Bayswater Chinese.
But physical ability is not endless.
They were able to hold on until 60 minutes because the Bayswater Chinese were not in good shape today.
If it had been in the past, they would have surrendered in the first half.
Now, Yang Cheng gives the final order.
Press up and attack!
......
Under Yang Cheng's order, the Bayswater Chinese began to launch a counterattack.
Only 6 minutes passed before the goal. Di Maria dribbled the ball from the left and made continuous breakthroughs. The opponent's midfielder Melchiot, who was returning to defend, shoveled out of bounds.
Leighton Baines ran up quickly, wiped the football with his jersey, and immediately threw the ball when he saw Rakitic running over.
Rakitic stopped the ball before midfielder Michael Brown, but was pulled down directly from behind by the opponent.
This was a very obvious foul that occurred under the referee's nose.
The whistle sounded immediately.
Under the protests of Rakitic, Leighton Baines and others, the referee took out the second yellow card of the game.
After Leighton Baines placed the ball, as soon as the whistle blew, he immediately kicked the ball to Di Maria.
The Argentinian kept the ball, kicked it to Rakitic, and quickly rushed to the bottom line.
Four Wigan Athletic defenders were defending three Bayswater Chinese players. As a result, Rakitic passed the ball directly to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area.
Di Maria threw away all the defensive players, caught up with him, and passed a low ball into the small penalty area.
Kompany scored an own goal like this!
But this time, Lewandowski got ahead of the two Wigan Athletic centre-backs, made a tackle and sent the ball into the Wigan Athletic goal.
“The ball went in!!!”
"2 to 1!"
"The Bayswater Chinese completed the reversal!"
"Goal from Polish center Lewandowski!"
"This is Lewandowski's 9th Premier League goal this season!"
"Exceeding his 8 Premier League goals last season!"
"And he has scored consecutive goals in the last two rounds, which is a very good performance!"
Yang Cheng made his first substitution in the 65th minute.
Gareth Bale replaced teenager Theo Walcott.
Di Maria was moved to the right.
This is a signal to strengthen the team's offense.
Walcott has been playing for more than an hour and is quite physically exhausted.
When Gareth Bale was replaced at this time, it was obvious that he wanted to rush.
After the substitution, the Bayswater Chinese played even more fiercely.
In the 77th minute, Maicon stepped in from the right, cooperated with Di Maria's attack, went down to the right side of the penalty area, and passed a cross to Lewandowski's feet in the penalty area.
The Polish center leaned against defender Bramble, and when he caught the ball, he tried to turn around.
Bramble is 1.92 meters tall and weighs a full 92 kilograms.
What about Lewandowski?
The 20-year-old Polish center is 1.85 meters tall, but only 80 kilograms.
No more than others, the difference of more than 20 kilograms between the two makes it impossible for Lewandowski to take advantage of Bramble.
When he wanted to stop the ball and turn around, Bramble gave him a little resistance behind him, and he stumbled and hurriedly protected the ball.
Almost at the same time, Di Maria was running sideways along the line of the penalty area and called Lewandowski.
Although the Pole's steps were a little chaotic, his body was still barely balanced and he kicked the ball over.
Di Maria led the ball laterally with his left foot, leading the ball to the right side of the top area of the arc, then caught up with him and fired a volley with his left foot.
This is a low shot.
The football almost touched the turf, but there was an obvious rebound when it landed. It passed goalkeeper Kirkland's saving hand and crashed into the left side net of the goal.
"The ball was scored again!!!"
"3 to 1!"
"Di Maria made another contribution for the Bayswater Chinese!"
"The Argentinian recently The form during this period is very good. We saw that the Bayswater Chinese attack was very sharp in the second half.”
“Wigan Athletic’s physical energy has been almost exhausted and it has begun to fail to keep up with Bayswater. Walter Chinese game rhythm ”
It’s not like Steve Bruce hasn’t been replaced.
But the whole rhythm of the game has been completely controlled by the Bayswater Chinese, and the effect of the substitution is not obvious.
Wigan Athletic are completely in disarray.
Moreover, it is still at their home court.
In the 83rd minute, Wigan Athletic created a free kick in the frontcourt near the 30-meter area.
But when the ball was penalized into the Bayswater Chinese penalty area, Pepe took the lead and headed the ball out.
After Modric unloaded the ball, he passed it straight to the center.
Lewandowski dribbled the ball all the way, rushed into the Wigan Athletic half, and reached the 30-meter area.
Under the force of the defensive player, Lewandowski barely sent a kick from behind.
But this kick was a little too hasty and missed the right spot, making it a little too small.
Di Maria pounced immediately.
When Figueroa wanted to clear the ball with one kick, Di Maria blocked it in time.
The ball hit Di Maria's leg and rebounded towards the left rib outside the penalty area.
Gareth Bale quickly stepped in, stopped the ball into the penalty area with one kick, then chased after him, volleyed with his left foot, and sent the ball into the Wigan Athletic goal.
4 to 1!
The Welshman turned around and ran away excitedly, running wildly to celebrate the goal.
The entire JJB Stadium became silent!
The morale of Wigan Athletic was completely shattered.
But the Bayswater Chinese did not stop attacking.
According to Yang Cheng's words, he must give his opponent the most vicious and unforgettable lesson!
When the Bayswater Chinese all pressed forward to attack, Wigan Athletic really had no choice.
Especially towards the end of the game, my physical energy has been almost exhausted and I can’t keep up with my movements at all.
The most typical example is that in the second minute of stoppage time, Maicon from the right side of the Bayswater Chinese suddenly sent a cross.
Yaya Toure came in from the back row. After receiving the ball, he passed three Wigan Athletic defenders, broke into the right side of the penalty area, and fired a blast, which once again penetrated Kirkland. goal.
5 to 1!
Everyone in the audience was stunned!
In the first half, after they took the lead, they were so excited and happy.
Now, how broken they are!
They have tried their best!
Especially Steve Bruce, he was still making substitutions and strengthening defense even in the 85th minute.
But what's the result?
In stoppage time, the ball was conceded again!
From a 1-goal lead to a 1-5 deficit, the interval actually only lasted about half an hour.
“This is definitely the most exciting game played by the Bayswater Chinese this season!”
“They completely showed their confidence at the JJB Stadium and played their best game. His courage proves his determination! ”
"Yang Cheng's team let everyone see that behind their powerful offensive power is the team's tenacity and fighting spirit!"
"Steve Bruce's tactics only worked for 60 minutes, but the Chinese in Bayswater only need 30 minutes In just a short time, Wigan Athletic’s steel defense will completely collapse!”
“It’s not that Wigan Athletic didn’t play well”
“It’s that their opponents are too strong! ”
……
Manchester United's players don't know how to describe their feelings.
From London back to Manchester, 340 kilometers, about 4 hours.
As soon as they got in the car, they noticed that head coach Ferguson was watching the live broadcast of Sky Sports.
And using a mobile phone.
On Nokia’s small screen, it’s very awkward to watch football matches.
But he watched it with great interest, and from time to time he helped the Sky Sports commentator make some comments.
Everyone knows that he is in a really good mood.
But when the bus entered Birmingham, Ferguson's mood took a turn for the worse.
Especially when the Bayswater Chinese scored goals one after another after equalizing the score.
Obviously they were behind for an hour, but in the end they managed to win a big victory.
Especially at the end, when Yaya Toure passed three players at the last moment, volleyed and scored Wigan Athletic's goal, Ferguson was so angry that he stood up from his seat.
"What the hell! What the hell is Wigan Athletic doing?"
In anger, Ferguson inadvertently held the hand holding the mobile phone and put it on the guardrail in front of his seat. .
Nokia, which was so tough that it could crack open a walnut, was broken by his slap.
The Nokia I just bought was scrapped on the spot.
In the bus, except for the players who were wearing headphones and closing their eyes to concentrate, everyone was shocked.
One by one, they all looked at the front row of the bus in silence.
Ferguson gasped with anger and had to sit back.
Looking at the scrapped Nokia in my hand, I cursed in my heart, "Damn Yang Cheng, pay for my phone!"
"The Chinese in Bayswater are indeed very strong now. Wigan Athletic's overall strength is still far behind them," Mike Phelan advised from the side.
He knew that Ferguson had not given up on the title challenge.
In his opinion, as long as the Bayswater Chinese make mistakes and Manchester United wins the next two direct conversations, who can say that the Red Devils have no chance?
After this back and forth, the difference was 9 points!
But now, Wigan Athletic not only lost, but also lost like this, which will only increase the momentum of the Bayswater Chinese.
"It is not uncommon for the weak to defeat the strong. Wigan Athletic fought too hard in the first half!" Ferguson said solemnly.
Mike Phelan doesn't know anything.
He really wanted to say, if he hadn't fought so hard in the first half, would he have been able to stop the Bayswater Chinese?
Maybe it’s over in the first half.
In the final analysis, the Bayswater Chinese are too strong!
But Mike Phelan also understood why Ferguson was angry.
After this round, there will be a national team game in the middle of the week.
After the international players return, it will be the FA Cup immediately.
After the FA Cup, Manchester United will face the Bayswater Chinese at home in midweek.
The Red Devils and Manchester United are not in very good shape recently, and everyone can see this.
But the Bayswater Chinese reversed Wigan Athletic 5-1 in this round, and it was an away game. This is equivalent to allowing the Bayswater Chinese to go to Old Trafford with the momentum of victory. .
This is undoubtedly quite detrimental to Manchester United.
“I shouldn’t have watched the live broadcast just now!”
After saying this angrily, Ferguson turned his head again and looked at Mike Phelan, “It’s all your fault , Why did you help me get that 3G and buy a package just now, look at it, the phone is broken, it’s a mess!”
Mike Phelan’s face was full of grievances, and he was filled with blood. impulse.
My conscience, Sir, you obviously asked me to do it for you!
You smashed the cell phone yourself.
Is it all my fault?
Looking at Ferguson's angry appearance, no matter how many grievances and injustices Mike Phelan felt, he could only swallow them with blood in his stomach.
However, Ferguson’s temper comes and goes quickly.
Anyone who knows his character knows that when he gets angry, he can't control it, but when he lets it out, he acts like a normal person.
No, as soon as I got angry, I turned around as if nothing happened at all.
“After we go back, we will convene a meeting with the coaching staff to study this game.”
“Wait until February 18th, at Old Trafford Stadium, I will let Yang Cheng and him The team will never come back!”
At the end of the day, Ferguson was gritting his teeth.
As expected, you still have to do it yourself to win the championship!
