Chapter 228 Sponsorship! Going on the market! A good start! I'm going to compete with the Chinese in the Premier League! [Subscribe]
On the afternoon of August 7, Wembley Stadium, London.
Community Shield, Bayswater Chinese play against Manchester City.
As soon as the game started, Manchester City coach Ancelotti couldn't sit still on the sidelines.
The Italian kept walking to the sidelines, shouting Micah Richards, signaling him to pay attention to his position and strengthen side protection for the central defender, and also let Yaya Touredo pull to the right.
But even so, the effect is still not good.
Just 5 minutes into the game, Marcelo made a beautiful two-pass one with Tony Cross when he was in the ribs, and suddenly rushed to the left of the penalty area, forcing Lucio to foul on the outside of the penalty area.
Today's referee is Phil Dodd.
If it weren't for the fact that the game had just begun, he would have really taken out his cards.
Baswater Chinese continued to increase their offense.
Especially on two sides. "Their full-backs are more aggressive now than before." Assistant coach Bruno DeMitchellis complained behind Ancelotti.
"Look at Marcelo, he is simply using himself as a winger. Is this still a fullback?"
"Look at the right side, Walcott retracted inward, and Pisczek is basically a winger."
This style of play is really too radical!
Bethwater Chinese have always held high the banner of offensive football, and the full-backs actively attacked, which is well known. Even Marcelo has a strong offensive and weak defense, and he has not known how many years he has been scolded.
But it is really rare like this now.
"Yang Cheng now has absolute confidence in his midfield and central defender!" Ancelotti turned his head and looked at Yang Cheng in front of the coach's seat on the other side, and his heart was full of helplessness.
The opponent invested so much in offense, Manchester City either took the initiative to attack or could only focus on defense first.
But people who are familiar with Bethwater Chinese know that if you really want to play against each other, the risk is too great.
Either you lose terriblely or you win applause.
When talking about the central defender, Ancelotti sighed again.
Lucio is already 33 years old.
Although the Brazilian is still in good condition, once the physical functions of a central defender like him degrade to a certain level, his performance will begin to be greatly reduced.
It was like he had to foul Marcelo just now.
If Lucio had just been stuck on it, and if he had a physical confrontation, Marcelo would be disarmed immediately.
But now, you can only foul.
Jerome Boateng and Savic are both central defenders Ancelotti is very optimistic about, but they do not have the ability to replace Lucio for the time being, and they will need some time.
The most headache is Micah Richards.
In Ancelotti's mind, the best choice for the right back is Sabaleta.
But Mica Richards is a local international.
In this game, because both Pirlo and Kaka were injured, Ancelotti wanted to try to change the formation.
So, he adopted the 442 tactic.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;
Defender: Leiden Bynes, Chiellini, Lucio and Mica Richards;
Midfielders: David Silva, Gareth Barrie, Yaya Toure and Robinho;
Forwards: Ibrahimovic and Tevez.
It's said it's 442, but in fact, David Silva and Robinho are both in front of the position.
Whether in the double striker, Ibrahimovic headed up, Tevez often retreated.
So strictly speaking, it is like an irregular 4231 formation.
Manchester City had practiced this style of play in summer warm-up matches before, and the effect was pretty good.
If you encounter a team that is not as strong as that, you can take down one of the two midfielders and replace Pirlo.
Or take a forward and replace it with Kaka.
Ancelotti has been working to transform Manchester City and improve the team's tactical richness.
Besides, Aguero's joining has also brought great help to the team's frontcourt offense.
Of course, how to coordinate the player's playing time will test Ancelotti's kung fu.
From this game, Manchester City has been unable to make a threatening attack for a long time, and has not even had a shot.
In the 21st minute, Gareth Bell and Marcelo cooperated on the left. The Welshman in the ribs was about to start, and Mica Richards made a fierce flying shovel.
Garrez Bell was thrown to the ground with the ball!
This made Ancelotti slapped his forehead straight on the sidelines. "Did this kid have a lot of money in his mind?" Ancelotti said angrily. "This is a red card!" But the referee still showed mercy and gave the yellow card.
However, the position of this free kick from the Bayswater Chinese is quite good.
What surprised everyone was that this free kick was actually taken by Tony Kroos.
This surprised Ancelotti and others, as well as the fans in the stands.
But after Tony Cross set the ball, he slowly retreated. When Manchester City set the wall, he took a deep breath, quickly assisted and kicked an inverted ball with his right foot.
The football flew out at extremely fast speed, and after passing a graceful inner rotation, it slid straight into the upper left corner of Manchester City's goal.
Yes, Tony Cross directly went to the left outside the penalty area and hit the upper left corner with an inner spin.
Joe Hart was confused for a moment, and when he wanted to save again, it was too late.
Thunderous cheers burst out throughout the stadium!
Most of the scene were fans of Bethwater Chinese, all shouting Tony Cross's name frantically.
This made Ancelotti in the stands look particularly depressed.
Manchester City has not shot yet!
"This free kick was so beautiful!" Bruno Demitchellis praised in surprise.
After hearing this, Ancelotti couldn't help but turn her head, looking at her assistant with a grievance and angry expression.
Beautiful is beautiful, but what he broke through is our goal!
Is your butt sitting in a crooked position?
Ancelotti would not be surprised by Tony Cross's free kick skills.
Long passers-by experts like him are often free kick masters.
The reason why I don’t take penalties frequently is mainly due to internal coordination of the team.
For example, generally speaking, the Chinese are handed over to Gareth Bale free kicks in the middle and right ribs in the frontcourt.
The left-footed player can hit the goal directly.
The Welshman's footwork and foot strength are excellent, and the butterfly ball has also made many goalkeepers look disgusted.
But in fact, Di Maria is also a free kick expert and is also good at taking the penalty on this side.
But there is no way. When I meet Gareth Bale, Di Maria will not have this opportunity.
This is a decision made within the team after considering all aspects.
…
As Tony Cross scored, the game gradually became open.
Especially Manchester City.
Ancelotti's team can no longer continue to guard against each other.
But Blue Moon didn't make his first shot until the 29th minute.
David Silva sent a diagonal pass after getting the ball in the ribs, and Robinho inserted into the penalty area and shot.
Tiago Silva reacted quickly and blocked the ball from the bottom line.
Corner kick.
But just as Manchester City's corner kick was sent out, Courtois took the ball out of mid-air.
From last year, he came to Bethwater Chinese and replaced Neuer's position, Courtois's characteristics have also changed a lot from before, especially his attacks, which are obviously more frequent.
Although he is tall, his range of movement is much larger than before.
Of course, if you want a goalkeeper with such a tall figure to frequently break out of the penalty area like Neuer, you are basically looking for death.
Each player has his own characteristics.
Yang Cheng tailored the tactics for these players based on the characteristics of these players.
In the 33rd minute, the Bayswater Chinese got another free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Garreth Barry's foul on Walcott.
The free kicks on the right rib in the frontcourt basically belong to Gareth Bale.
The Welshman kicked a butterfly ball 28 meters away from the goal and hit the outer edge of the post and broke out of the bottom line.
But this also made Manchester City sweat.
In the 38th minute, Leiden Bynes fouled while defending Walcott in his half, giving Bayswater a free kick opportunity to the right of the frontcourt.
Modric took the free kick this time and made a cross from the right to the front point.
Manchester City's defensive player missed while he was staring at people. Thiago Silva rushed forward quickly and shot a foot shot against the falling football on the edge of the small penalty area, sending the ball back into the goal guarded by Joe Hart.
2 to 0!
But before the first half was over, David Silva sent a precise pass on the left rib, and Pepe was slightly slower in the snatch, and was taken first by Ibrahimovic.
After the Swedish center dunked Pepe, he without waiting for Thiago Silva to assist in the defense to fill the spot, and directly shot at the front of the penalty area to get a goal for Manchester City.
1 to 2!
At the halftime break, Ancelotti made his first substitution.
Aguero replaced Robinho.
Manchester City changed into a 433 formation, David Silvane received the midfield, and Yaya Toure also gained more freedom.
The Blue Moon began to increase its offense.
But just in the 52nd minute, Manchester City got a free kick in the frontcourt.
After the ball was sent into the penalty area, Pepe cleared the ball with his feet.
After Tony Cross grabbed the landing point, he sent out a long diagonal pass.
Walcott was in a forward speed at lightning.
Lucio failed to intercept the ball when clearing near the center line. Walcott successfully counterattacked by offside. After catching up with Tony Cross's pass, he drove straight in, drifted past Joe Hart, and pushed the ball into the empty goal.
3 to 1!
After that, Yang Cheng also began to make adjustments one after another.
First, they replaced Harry Kane, Pogba and De Bruyne in one breath.
Then Sterling replaced Gareth Bale and Kyle Walker replaced Piszczek.
Manchester City also gained an advantage on the court in the last ten minutes, but never managed to break through the goal of the Bethwater Chinese.
After the whole game, the Baswater Chinese's possession rate was as high as 62.3%.
The pass success rate is as high as 88.4%.
As Sky Sports said, this is a game that reflects the dominance of the Chinese in Bayswater!
"Although it's just a Community Shield, Yang Cheng used this game to tell everyone that the Chinese in Bayswater are still the most dominant and competitive team in the Premier League!"
...
...
The Chinese in Bayswater defeated Manchester City 3-1 and won the Community Shield has caused widespread reports in the UK.
But it is not the hottest news.
As the new season is about to ignite the war, there are three hottest topics in the Premier League.
One is that Manchester City signed a sponsorship fee of 350 million pounds for ten years.
This has attracted a lot of attention in the Premier League.
According to Manchester City, what they sold this time was £20 million on their chest advertisements and £15 million on the court advertisements each year.
But this is not the point, the focus is that advertisers also help the team build a 200-acre training base and youth training camp near Manchester City's home court.
In Ferguson's statement, isn't this treating everyone as a fool? "Will no one stop such a blatant act of giving money?" Ferguson said that if all this was allowed, what is the point of the fair competition implemented by UEFA?
But Manchester City clarified to the outside world, saying that sponsorship contracts are reasonable and legal business activities.
Abu Dhabi's enterprises help the team build training bases and youth training camps because the two sides have cooperation in youth training.
This is a reward.
In short, in a word, these are all business behaviors, and there is no need to think too much about it.
But many Premier League teams have come forward to accuse them, believing that this is not in line with business logic at all.
If you say that Manchester City’s chest advertisements are worth so much, then that’s fine, can the advertisements on the stadium be sold for 15 million pounds?
How much does the Chinese sell for each year?
However, this kind of thing is really hard to explain clearly.
Manchester City said it was a business act, and others could not provide evidence to refute it.
It's very simple. Domestic companies in the UAE are rushing to sponsor Manchester City and raising prices. Is it OK?
No one said no, right?
Anyway, this incident caused a lot of controversy, but it was destined to be difficult to achieve a result.
The second big news is that Manchester United is going to go public again.
As early as 2005, after the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, Manchester United was delisted from the London Stock Exchange.
But now, the Glazer family intends to send Manchester United to the stock market again.
According to the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal, Manchester United joins forces with Credit Suisse Group this time to prepare to list the team, planning to take out 25% of its shares and raise 600 million pounds.
In other words, the Glazer family valued Manchester United at £2.4 billion.
According to the Financial Times, one of the important reasons why Manchester United is anxious to go public is that the team missed the qualification to participate in the Champions League in the new season, which has led to the pressure on the team to pay off their debts.
Fans around the world have long known that the Glazer family is a bastard, but it was not until Manchester United re-planned to go public that they had to disclose more financial information that they knew that the Glazer family was so bastard.
It turns out that the funds used by the Glazer family to acquire Manchester United all came from loans.
This is what everyone knows.
Most of them are mortgaged on Manchester United's assets and require more than £60 million in interest every year.
The most outrageous thing is that more than 200 million pounds of these loans are cashed in the form of in-kind loans.
The loan was sold to a hedge fund again, with an annual interest rate of up to 16.25%.
Manchester United pays interest of up to £30 million a year for this.
Until 2010, the Glazer family issued £500 million in bonds to repay the loan and part of the loan it had acquired in 2005.
But Manchester United still pays £45 million in interest every year.
This time, the Glazer family hopes to promote Manchester United's listing, just to pay off the £500 million loan and save £45 million in interest per year.
But the Financial Times accused the Glazer family of being vampires and borers crawling on Manchester United!
Because the 700 million pounds they used to acquire Manchester United back then came from loans, and then used Manchester United to mortgage them to repay these loans, and now in turn, they have to promote Manchester United's listing.
In other words, they didn't spend a penny from beginning to end.
But what about Manchester United?
The current valuation is 2.4 billion pounds, a 3-fold increase!
Manchester United fans were also very angry and kept accusing the Glazer family, while demanding that the Premier League and even the British government intervene in the investigation.
Online?
Yes!
But the 600 million pounds obtained from financing must not let the Glazer family get involved!
There was a lot of controversy over Manchester United's listing again, and it was very lively.
The third thing is foreign investment.
In recent years, foreign capital has continued to pour into the Premier League.
In addition, the Premier League has done the best in globalization in recent years, with the strongest development momentum. It is already recognized by fans as the world's number one league, with influence all over the world.
In the Sun's statement, in 193 countries around the world, the Premier League has been broadcast live in 189 countries.
In addition, driven by the popular International Champions League this year, the Premier League occupies half of the 12 giant teams.
This is enough to demonstrate the unparalleled influence of the Premier League.
So foreign capital also pays more attention to the Premier League.
Now, not only are the Premier League teams spreading foreign capital, but the Championship has become the most optimistic investment field for foreign capital.
Because compared to the Premier League, the acquisition price of the Championship team is significantly lower and the investment cost is also lower.
But if you make a name for yourself in the Championship and get promoted to the Premier League, it will definitely be a good deal!
West Ham United, which was relegated from the Premier League last season, received an acquisition intention from the Malaysian consortium.
The founder and CEO of Air Asia and the owner of the F1 team Malaysia Lotus, Tony Fernandez, is very interested in West Ham United.
West Ham United just changed hands in January 2010, and the sponsors were Welsh people David Sullivan and David Galder who started out in romance action movies.
But in the 10/11 season, West Ham was relegated from the Premier League, which brought a huge blow to the Hammers.
Especially financially.
So, there have been rumors before that West Ham United decided to sell it to the outside world.
In addition, there are many teams for sale in the City of London.
The Premier League teams such as Newcastle, Bolton, Fulham, Everton, and West Bromwich are all listed for sale, waiting for buyers.
In the English Championship, West Ham United, Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace, Portsmouth and other teams are also hungry.
This also surprised many media and fans.
On the one hand, the influence of the Premier League has repeatedly set new highs, and major teams are becoming more and more prosperous.
Especially, the Chinese in Bethwater have caught up with Real Madrid and are ranked first in the world.
But on the other hand, there are many teams that are not well-managed and are waiting for foreign capital to rescue.
It is in this contradiction that the media continues to report on foreign capital entering the Premier League.
Sometimes it is a consortium in Malaysia, sometimes it is an American investor, sometimes it is a local tycoon from the Middle East...
A variety of news has been frequently seen in the newspapers.
…
American real estate tycoon Steve Rose arrived at London Heathrow Airport accompanied by Matt Higgins, Daniel Hillman and Charlie Stiletano.
As the plane landed and glided, he frowned through the porthole and looked at the gloomy sky in London.
"I don't like the hellish weather like London the most. I can't see any sunshine or hope!"
Steve Ross said to the three assistants beside him.
They were on Steve Rose's private plane, so they naturally had no worries about the conversation. "But this place in London is really good, with unlimited potential!" Matt Higgins smiled.
So many wealthy people around the world tend to invest in sports, especially football, which is by no means targetless.
When the economy slowed down, everyone was optimistic about the sports industry and believed that it would be an industry that would continue to increase in value in the next few years.
Steve Ross and Matt Higgins are both investors or senior executives of the US NFL, so they naturally know this more than anyone else.
When the plane arrived, the pick-up person had been waiting at the airport for a long time.
The two most famous football investment experts in the City of London, Kesh Harris and Rothschild Jr.
The two came together to pick up Steve Rose.
When we meet, we will naturally have polite words like [Welcome to London], and a rainbow fart without any nutrition.
Steve Ross is already impatient with this.
It's not just about these British people in front of you, but also about London behind them. "No need to say more about the others. Go to the hotel first, and you can take us around to see it."
Of course there was no problem with the two of them.
So, the group boarded the luxurious Rolls-Royce and drove out of Heathrow Airport.
Halfway through the car, Kesh Harris introduced Blundford in Hounslow, just on the way to the city center of Heathrow Airport, but was interrupted by Matt Higgins. "I've known this club. It's too far away. We're in the city center!"
Kesh Harris smiled and nodded to show his understanding.
Private planes are really cool.
Steve Ross may have been sleeping on the plane and saw the car heading into central London and suddenly proposed to go and see the stadium first.
This made Kesh Harris and Rothschild Jr. look at each other and send a signal to each other.
This is an expert!
Even if you don’t understand football, you will at least understand the sports industry!
Acquiring a club, don’t look at anything else, first look at fixed assets. This is not something that can be understood. What is it?
The closest is Craven Farm in Fulham.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
This stadium is built on the banks of the Thames River, and on the other side is the main road. The stadium has a small capacity and does not seem to have room for expansion.
Fulham is now owned by the rich Egyptians. "I know him. His son died with Diana back then." Steve Rose laughed.
Kesh Harris and Rothschild Jr. both smiled embarrassedly.
This American hates it!
It's so sucking like 30,000 to 80,000!
After a circle at Craven Farm, turned west, and took a look at the Stamford Bridge Stadium in Chelsea, and then headed north.
When passing by the Dutch Park, Rothschild Little even gave a special mouth.
"The surrounding areas are places where the rich people like to live very much. You must have heard of the Chinese in Bayswater, right?"
"Their boss Yang Cheng lives nearby."
As a result, Steve Ross and his group did not say a word, making Rothschild Jr. bored.
After passing the Netherlands Park, it is London's most famous Westfield Shopping Center.
This is the largest and most lively shopping mall in the entire city of London.
There are five subway stations all around.
From West from Westfield Shopping Center, through some narrow streets and alleys, you will come to the Loftus Road Stadium.
This is the home court of Queens Park Rangers. "At that time, the Chinese in Bayswater played here for two years!" Rothschild Jr. introduced.
Kash Harris was talking on the side.
Just like the introduction of Fulham just now, it's just a praising.
For example, Queen's Park Rangers, just by listening to the team name, you will know that this team is not simple and has a long history.
Looking at the entire England, is there a second team named Queen?
Unlike Craven Farm next to the Thames, the Loftus Road Stadium is surrounded by residences. "Demolition is obviously easier than expansion on the Thames," said Matt Higgins.
Steve Ross agrees.
Kash Harris and Rothschild Jr. both have great vision and can tell the clues at once.
It is true that I value the value of central London!
Is this going to learn from Bethwater Chinese?
At this moment, Kesh Harris decided not to make trouble with Yang Cheng again.
On the contrary, he wanted to worship Yang Cheng as the God of Wealth!
The reason is that Yang Cheng set a precedent and brought him much business.
"Mr. Ross, you see, the location here is no worse than Bethwater. There are five subway stations within 1 kilometer, and it is 500 meters away from Westfield, the largest shopping center in central London. "
"If, I mean, if, you can get the support of the city government and carry out demolition and transformation of the surrounding areas, just like the Chinese in Bethwater, then this place can be directly connected to the Westfield business district."
At the end, Kesh Harris left a sentence, "This is in the West End of London, where every inch of land is valuable!"
Rothschild Jr. also reacted and immediately added: "Even if things are not done well and cannot be demolished, you can move the stadium out, just like Arsenal, building an apartment building on the spot!"
Baswater Chinese and Arsenal are two complementary cases.
The former was built on the original site, and with the help of policy advantages, he played a strait ball and made a fortune of billions of pounds.
The latter was moved away from a new building, and the original site was transformed into an apartment building and started a real estate business.
Of course, Arsenal's real estate business has screwed up.
But everyone knows that this is because of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis.
From a business perspective, the Gunners are doing very smart business.
More importantly, the location of the Loftus Road is closer to the core of London than Arsenal.
"It's really not bad here." Steve Ross nodded lightly.
Kash Harris and Rothschild Jr. captured the signal.
I heard that this person is engaged in real estate in the United States.
Who else knows the operating logic of real estate better than him?
For Kesh Harris and the others, they don’t care whether you can demolish or build a new one in the future. Anyway, they sell the club first and earn commission.
Even if they lose money in the future and want to sell it, wouldn’t they still have to come here?
At that time, you can earn commissions again.
If you want to talk about the Loftus Road Stadium, the location is indeed OK, but compared to Bayswater, it is really much different.
There are 5 subway stations around the West Field Shopping Center.
Loftus Road Stadium is still several hundred meters away.
As for relocation, it depends on their own ways.
Anyway, Chelsea has been in trouble for so many years, but it has never been able to successfully demolish it.
Fulham has not talked about expanding the main stand on the banks of the Thames. "It's also very popular here. The club now has three major shareholders, namely Formula 1 President Bernie Eccleston, F1 Renault's boss Flavio Briattoli, and India's steel tycoon Mittal family." "But in the past few years, they have not invested much in Queens Park Rangers." "And the value here is indeed extraordinary. Tony Fernandez, the Malaysian consortium that originally planned to acquire West Ham United, has been paying attention to Queens Park Rangers."
Kesh Harris deliberately mentioned Tony Fernandez just to stimulate Steve Ross.
Sure enough, the American rich man frowned.
"In London, where every inch of land is valuable, the Queen's Park Rangers are like an unmatched diamond. If someone invests and introduces influential stars, then this team will definitely shine!"
"It will not even lose to the top giants such as Bayswater Chinese, Manchester United and Arsenal in the future!"
"Not to mention anything else, they don't have the halo of the queen, and the Bayswater Chinese team name is even more terrible!"
Steve Ross agrees very much.
He didn't know what was wrong with the boss of Bethwater's Chinese, and he actually gave such a name.
Luckily, this club is now popular, and its name becomes catchy as it is pronounced. "How much is this club now?" asked Steve Ross.
Kash Harris and Rothschild Jr. smiled.
The latter immediately smiled and said, "It is a good time to buy now."
"How do you say it?" asked by Matt Higgins.
"This team has just been promoted to the Premier League this season. It is located in West London. It is a horn of Bethwater Chinese and Chelsea. It is a mortal enemy of West London. In addition to Fulham, it has 6 derby games a year, attracting the attention of fans around the world."
"Now the Premier League broadcasting amounts to 30 million pounds per year. The Loftus Road stadium has a capacity of 20,000 people and an average ticket price of 40 pounds. This stadium alone earns at least 20 million pounds per season."
When Rothschild Jr. said this, he deliberately paused for a moment to let the other party digest it.
It took about ten seconds before Rothschild Jr. continued.
"As for the asking price, we are confident that we will negotiate within 100 million pounds, but Fulham is estimated to be about 200 million pounds."
The gap between the two teams is obviously dependent on their strength.
Fulham ranked 9th in the Premier League last season and belongs to the mid-to-upstream team.
Queen Park Rangers are the updated team.
The annual revenue guaranteed is 50 million pounds, and the price is 100 million pounds. Is it expensive, four gentlemen?
"When will the fastest time be completed for an acquisition like this?" Steve Ross did not disclose which one he wanted to buy.
But Kesh Harris could hear that the boss seemed to be prepared.
And the goal is probably to be the Chinese!
"The negotiation process and the completion of various procedures will take at least half a year."
Steve Ross was not in a hurry.
"Then we have to wait until next year to compete with the Bayswater Chinese!"
...
On the afternoon of August 13, Blackburn Ewood Park Stadium.
In the first round of the Premier League in the 11/12 season, Bethwater Chinese challenged Blackburn away.
Speaking of which, Blackburn's head coach Steve Keane should also thank Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese.
In the second round of the Premier League last season, the Beswater Chinese beat Blackburn 9-0 at home, giving Sam Allardyce a tragic blow.
Then, Blackburn's situation became worse and worse.
Big Sam was unable to survive Christmas in the end.
At that time, Steve Keane, as an assistant coach, served as the team's firefighting coach and quickly became a regular.
Although Blackburn's performance did not rebound in the end, he still won the 16th place in the league and successfully relegated.
In the first round of the new season, he encountered the Bethwater Chinese again, but this time Blackburn was at home.
Steve Keane dared not be careless about this.
Even at home, he still put forward the tactic of 451 to defend the battle and was ready for the battle.
The Chinese in Bayswater still adopt the 433 formation they are best at.
Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defender: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Piszczek;
Midfield: Matic drags behind, Tony Kroos and Modric are in the center;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Di Maria.
The premiere of the new season is another away game, so Yang Cheng's opening tactics are relatively cautious.
He hopes to help players gradually find the state of the game by slowing down the pace.
So, it was not until the 10th minute that both sides had their first shot.
Garrez Bale's pass, Tony Cross's long shot from outside the penalty area.
Steve Keane noticed.
The two midfielders of the Beswater Chinese are still no longer like they did last season, with Tony Cross dragging back and Modric getting forward.
Although this offensive routine is clear in division of labor, it is too easy for the opponent to understand it.
Now, the two of them obviously have no fixed division of labor. How to play depends entirely on their cooperation and adaptability on the court.
So, the first shot of the season was completed by Tony Cross.
It's a pity that it hits a little higher.
But in the 13th minute, the 17th minute, the 24th minute, the 28th minute, the 29th minute...
The Chinese in Bayswater began to increase their offense.
Almost every three or four minutes, they can always create an opportunity.
Although the players have not fully entered the league pace, have poorly grasped the opportunities, and have no threatening shot opportunities, Steve Keane is still worried.
Blackburn's head coach walked to the sidelines and kept adjusting the team's defense.
451 formation, three midfielders, and two sides also actively retreated, which is already the limit Blackburn can achieve.
In Steve Keane's opinion, after 30 minutes, he should be able to take a momentary ease.
But in fact, it's not.
In the 34th minute, Di Maria dribbled the ball on the right and was fouled by Olsen, and got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Garreth Bale took the penalty, slightly higher.
Just 2 minutes later, Matic made a straight pass, Modric broke into the penalty area from the ribs, and shot from the outside of the small penalty area.
England Goal Robinson saved the ball.
One minute later, Tony Cross made a direct pass with a fairy, and Gareth Bale shot from the left side of the penalty area.
This is the area he is most familiar with and good at!
But this time the Welshman's shot slightly missed the right post.
In the 38th minute, Lewandowski stepped forward to the right side of the penalty area, received Di Maria's pass and shot, but was saved by the goalkeeper.
Baswater Chinese attacks are one wave higher than another.
This put Blackburn, who was fighting at home, into a passive position.
Not to mention counterattacking, they even struggled to deal with defense.
The fans of Ewood Park Stadium also felt the strength of the visiting team, but they were still cheering for the home team players.
But in the 43rd minute, Gareth Bale took the ball from the left and used his speed to force his way through veteran Salgado.
The Welshman made a low cross near the baseline and was blocked by central defender Samba from the baseline.
Corner kick.
Tony Cross quickly ran to the corner kick area on the left, and after setting the ball, he slowly retreated.
The German observed the crowd in the penalty area, raised his left hand, and after a quick run, he sent out a arc ball.
The ball is very fast and it is straight ahead.
Pepe inserted at high speed, grabbed everyone, faced the ball and headed it.
The ball was rubbed by Pepe, turned around in one direction, and drilled straight to the right side of the goal.
Goaler Robinson was helpless this time.
The ball entered the net with a sound.
1 to 0!
…
"Although we only scored 1 goal in the first half, I am very satisfied with the whole process."
Entering the break with a 1-0 lead, Yang Cheng gave the players enough affirmation and encouragement. "I want to say that at the beginning of the second half, we will give our opponent a headache!" "We want to attack and show the spirit of our Beswater Chinese!" "The new season has a good start, we must start!"
The players are also confident.
As soon as the second half started, the Bethwater Chinese took the lead in launching a snatch attack and gained continuous opportunities to hit the ball.
In the 52nd minute, another straight pass from Tony Cross, Gareth Bale penetrated diagonally from the outside to the left side of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he shot with his left foot in the far corner.
The shot in the first half was slightly missed, but this time, the Welsh directly sent the ball to the bottom of the goal net.
2 to 0!
The entire Ewood Park Stadium was in despair!
Although they were mentally prepared, they still hoped that miracles would happen.
But what made them even more uncomfortable was that after leading by 2 goals, the Chinese in Bayswater were still attacking continuously.
In the 56th minute, the visiting team got another corner kick opportunity.
After Modric sent the ball out, Blackburn central defender Dahn cleared the ball out of the penalty area at the front point.
After Di Maria received the ball from the right side of the penalty area, she made a curve ball with her left foot before Blackburn's midfielder En Zongqi came to the front.
En Zongqi wanted to block the shot sideways, but failed to block the shooting line.
The football drew a curved ball and drilled into the left side of Blackburn's goal.
3 to 0!
Dimalia rushed out of the stadium excitedly to celebrate her first league goal of the season!
Just 3 minutes later, the attack was launched on the left.
Marcelo stepped forward and played a two-for-one cooperation with Gareth Bale.
Garez Bale pulled back and knocked the ball back to Tony Cross, but the Brazilian quickly stepped forward.
Tony Cross faced the attack and sent a long pass against the ground against Gareth Bale's pass.
The football passed between two defensive players and landed on the left side of the frontcourt.
Marcelo quickly stepped forward, caught up with Tony Cross's pass, and sent a cross from the left.
Near the left corner of the small penalty area, Lewandowski arrived, faced the cross and shook his head directly, pushing the ball into the right side of Blackburn's goal.
4 to 0!
Lewandowski clenched his fists and cheered excitedly, rushed to the stands of the Bethwater Chinese fans who followed the team to the away game to celebrate.
In less than 15 minutes of the second half, the Bayswater Chinese scored three goals in a row!
When the game develops to this point, it makes no sense for Blackburn to continue to defend.
So, the violence of home battle began to exert force.
They want a goal to keep their home appearance.
But the Bethwater Chinese captured this idea of their opponents.
In the 73rd minute, Blackburn made a cross from the frontcourt, and Pepe headed the ball to clear it out.
Modric judged the landing point and rushed to the landing point at the same time.
The short Modric stuck his position and jumped up and headed the ball to Tony Cross.

The Polish center stopped the ball near the center line and turned around, dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack, and quickly passed to the left.
Garres Bale immediately accelerated, catching up with Lewandowski's pass, and rushed into the left side of Blackburn's penalty area at a glance.
Although the defensive players arrived in time, Gareth Bale still crossed to the back point.
Dimaria was also in place at the same time. Facing the blocked defender, the Argentinian removed the ball with his right foot. After a sudden stop, he kicked back with his left foot, and then shook the defender and pushed back to the middle.
At this time, Lewandowski arrived and pushed the ball towards him.
The ball entered the net with a sound.
5 to 0!
The whole counterattack was very beautiful!
From Pepe heading the ball to Modric's top scorer, to Tony Kroos' pass, to Lewandowski's stop and turn around, there was no drag on the whole process.
Garrez Bale also passed the ball to the back point in time, and Di Maria knocked back to the middle, completing a very exciting counterattack cooperation, and once again broke through Blackburn's defense line.
While despite leading by 5 goals, the Bethwater Chinese's offense continues.
Especially since the 75th minute, Yang Cheng made consecutive substitutions, but the advantages on the court are still very obvious.
First, Lewandowski missed a good opportunity to score a hat-trick, and then Di Maria hit the post with a long shot from 22 meters away.
After missing multiple scoring opportunities, Blackburn also got the best scoring opportunity in the game.
It was in the second minute of stoppage time, and forwards Yakub and Enzonchi made a cooperation. The former broke into the penalty area and shot from close range. Courtois fell to the ground and sideways, saving the ball with one hand.
This wonderful save also made Courtois appreciate from Yang Cheng and his teammates.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese lost 5-0 away and achieved a good start to the new season!
