I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 142 The Strongest in History! Has anyone seen such a legend? [Subscribe]

When the Italian referee Roberto Rossetti blew the whistle to end the game, the entire Stamford Bridge was filled with angry and dissatisfied boos from Chelsea fans.

Obviously, they are basically aimed at the Chinese in Bayswater.

The final score was 1 to 2!

The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

The total score is 4 to 2.

In both rounds of the game, the wins were narrow.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Chelsea launched an attack almost recklessly.

Everyone launched a frantic attack.

Even the Chinese in Bayswater had to temporarily avoid the attack and chose to defend themselves strictly.

In the last ten minutes or so, the game was one-sided.

In fact, experienced fans know that it is very unlikely for Chelsea to score three goals in the final stage.

No matter how small it is, you have to rush.

This is a matter of attitude!

"It's the semi-finals again!"

In the VIP box at Stamford Bridge, Abramovich was very disappointed with the result of the game.

There is no hope for the league.

The FA Cup was also eliminated.

Now, the Champions League has also stopped at the semi-finals.

They did reach the final of the League Cup and faced Tottenham Hotspur in North London.

As a result, the two sides tied 1-1 in regular time, and finally lost to Tottenham in overtime and missed the championship.

In other words, Chelsea will end up empty-handed again this season.

"This is the nth time we've been eliminated in the semi-finals?" Abramovich asked with a frown.

There was silence in the box.

Only Marina Granovskaia replied softly: "From 03 to now, this is the fourth time."

Abramovich was simply silenced.

From 03 to now, in just 5 years, they have been eliminated in the semi-finals 4 times.

This is really hard to accept.

In the 03/04 season, the head coach was still Ranieri, and they lost to Deschamps' Monaco in the semi-finals.

Later in the final, Mourinho's Porto defeated Monaco to win the championship.

So Abramovich invited Mourinho.

In the following 04/05 season, Mourinho led the team to an early advantage in the league and reached the semi-finals in the Champions League.

As a result, they lost to Liverpool 1-0 in the aggregate score of the two rounds.

Later, Benítez's team performed a miracle in Istanbul.

Okay, Abramovich admits it!

Not to mention the 05/06 season, we were placed in the same group as Liverpool in the group stage and finished second. In the round of 16, we met Barcelona, ​​which later won the championship. The two teams had a lot of trouble and caused countless disturbances.

Last season, Chelsea met Liverpool in the semi-finals and went straight to a penalty shootout.

Unexpectedly, they were eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals again this season.

"Could it be that we really have no chance of winning the Champions League?" Abramovich found it difficult to explain this phenomenon.

If you say it's weak, reaching the semi-finals four times in five years, is this weak?

But if you want to say they are strong, they were eliminated in the semifinals four times in five years and didn't even get close to the finals. Is that strong?

When it comes to investing money, Abramovich can proudly say that no team in European football can compare with Chelsea.

In the end, this is the result?

That Chinese team in Bayswater didn't spend much money, and their investment and signings were not even a fraction of Chelsea's. They made it to the Champions League final in just their third season in the Premier League.

Moreover, they are still aiming for the treble this season!

Yes, there is not much hope for the league, but hasn’t the last round been played yet?
Abramovich was simply screwed.

It turns out that those who don’t invest money have a better chance of making it to the finals?
"In fact, the Chinese in Bayswater have fought their way here against very strong opponents, so the overall gold content is the highest."

Peter Kenyon was unwilling to flatter and made an objective statement.

"In the group stage we will face Real Madrid, Werder Bremen and Lazio. This is definitely the group of death."

"We entered the knockout stage, faced AC Milan, the defending champions, and Barcelona, ​​the second team of the dream team, and then met us in the semi-finals. Their schedule and opponents were more difficult than anyone else's!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Everyone knows what's going on.

The points and division rules of the Champions League are designed to protect strong teams.

Whether it was Chelsea a few years ago or the Chinese in Bayswater now, they all needed to build their reputation step by step.

At the beginning, the schedule was very difficult.

But the Bayswater Chinese did it!
"Peter, tell me, what is the biggest difference between us and the Chinese in Bayswater? Why can they reach the Champions League final, while we are eliminated in the semi-finals again and again?" Abramovich couldn't understand.

Peter Kenyon knows a little bit about football, after all, he has been running Manchester United for so many years.

"In fact, our problem has been mentioned by the media before. We are too strong but not flexible enough and lack creativity."

Abramović nodded silently, thinking about this question.

"Look at the Chinese at Bayswater, their defense is very good, right? But their midfield, Yaya Toure is very good at making late runs and is also good at dribbling. More importantly, they have Modric."

"From English League Two to the Premier League to the Champions League, how many years has it been? Modric has always been highly valued by Yang Cheng and has been appointed as the team's captain. His passing and control in the midfield are very impressive."

"We don't have that kind of talent on our team."

Peter Kenyon's remarks have been mentioned by the media before, and even by many experts.

But at this moment, in the face of such a tragic defeat, everyone has to take it seriously.

"Speaking of the frontcourt, why can't a center like Shevchenko play a role in our team?"

When Peter Kenyon said this, the expressions of many people around him changed.

The first reaction of those who understand is that Peter Kenyon is ready to pass the buck.

The first life-saving principle in the workplace is that if you mess up a deal, the most important thing is not to take the blame.

"Look at Bayswater Chinese. Center forward Dzeko's physique is not as good as Drogba's, but his footwork is much better than Drogba's, right?"

"Di Maria on the left, Arshavin on the right, both are players with excellent skills and full of creativity. We don't have such players, do we?"

Abramovich has also thought about this issue.

He even analyzed with others several times why Shevchenko couldn't play well at Chelsea.

The answer everyone gave was that the tactics and staffing were not right.

To put it bluntly, other midfielders are creating and giving blood transfusions to the forwards, while Chelsea's midfield is sucking the blood of the forwards.

This resulted in a striker like Shevchenko being unable to stay at Chelsea.

The Ukrainian nuclear warheads themselves have also expressed their intention many times to return to Italy.

"So what do you think about this summer's transfer market?" Abramovich asked again.

Peter Kenyon pondered for a moment and nodded, "Sign a creative and controlling midfielder, such as Deco from Barcelona, ​​but I personally think that Modric from the Bayswater Chinese would be the best."

"We have no shortage of defensive midfielders, no shortage of tough guys, but we lack a holding midfielder like Deco and Modric."

"But Deco's performance in recent times has been far below expectations. I personally think that Modric is the most suitable."

Abramovich nodded, agreeing with Peter Kenyon's analysis.

"In the frontcourt, I personally think that Arshavin's transfer fee will be estimated at more than 3000 million pounds."

"3000 million pounds?" Abramovich frowned slightly, feeling a little painful.

But still acceptable.

But before Abramovich could express his opinion, Marina Granovskaia next to him reminded him.

"After this season, Arshavin will be 27 years old."

This personal assistant doesn't talk much, but every word he says is crucial.

Abramovich was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

is not that right?

27 years old.

Can it still be sold so expensively?

"Look at the transfer market and see if you can find another star of Arshavin's level?"

Peter Kenyon paused here and then went on.

"If it's £3000 million, I personally think it's worth considering."

"If we can successfully sign these two players, I think we will be fully capable of challenging for the Champions League next season!"

A flash of heat flashed in Abramovich's eyes.

Despite being eliminated in the semi-finals four times in five years, he still hasn't stopped chasing the Champions League title.

……

The Bayswater Chinese defeated Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate and made it to the Champions League final for the first time in history!

After the game, this news spread all over the world at an extremely fast speed.

Countless media and fans are rushing to report on it.

Everyone was in disbelief about this young Premier League team.

In the first season after being promoted to the Premier League, they won the UEFA Cup and the league runner-up, in the second season they won the Premier League championship, and this season they are aiming for the treble. This is simply a big step forward every year!

No, even before the Premier League, they had already achieved great results when they were still in the lower leagues.

Media and fans all over the world have praised this team.

Especially in the past period of time.

After the club’s football culture promotional video became popular on the Internet, it attracted the attention of netizens all over the world.

Now, the Chinese from Bayswater have reached the Champions League final, which has undoubtedly further won the favor of netizens around the world.

Everyone admires the strong and the strange.

Bayswater Chinese undoubtedly perfectly fits these two elements.

In addition, the club's publicity and promotion on the Internet over the past period of time, especially a series of short videos that suit the tastes of netizens, has already won a lot of goodwill and attention.

It all burst out at once.

On the Internet, many celebrities from the British entertainment industry also sent their congratulations to the Chinese in Bayswater.

This immediately became a unique landscape on the global Internet.

As early as January, Adele released her first solo album [1], which contains 19 songs.

As soon as the album was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the UK.

In late February, Adele was nominated for the 2th Brit Awards for Critics' Choice, Best British Female Vocalist, and Breakthrough British Artist, and eventually won the Critics' Choice Award.

Adele's new album is an instant hit.

This British girl instantly became a hot new star in the British entertainment industry.

When winning the award, Adele specifically thanked Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese.

Adele said that if it weren't for Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese who helped her realize her musical dream at a critical moment, she would not have had the opportunity to release this album.

The story of Adele and the Chinese in Bayswater was soon reported by the British entertainment media.

In Yang Cheng's words, it has gone viral.

As Adele became more popular, a saying began to spread in the entertainment industry.

Bayswater Chinese can bring good luck to all die-hard fans!

Adele is the best proof!

An English girl was studying at school and was discovered by a football club. She sang a team song, became famous, and released an album, which became an instant hit.

The most outrageous thing is that Adele is still singing at Wembley Stadium.

And there is a private box just for her in the stands of Wembley Stadium.

This is to be completely tied to the Chinese in Bayswater!
This kind of thing spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred, and gradually it became known.

So, when the Chinese team from Bayswater reached the Champions League final, many celebrities from the entertainment industry sent their blessings.

Even many celebrities have posted their game tickets online.

Whether I have time to watch it or not, I have bought the ticket anyway.

……

In another Champions League semi-final match, Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Scholes.

Finally, they advanced to the finals with a total score of 1-0.

This creates a very interesting scenario for the Premier League this season.

In the league, Bayswater Chinese are 1 point behind Manchester United.

The final round will determine who will win the championship.

It is equivalent to the final between Manchester United and Bayswater Chinese!
In the FA Cup final, Manchester United faced Bayswater Chinese.

Today, the Champions League final is also a showdown between these two teams.

Two teams are aiming for the treble at the same time!
Such a scene, such a legend, has anyone ever seen it?
Sports media around the world are basically reporting on this grand event.

Everyone is paying attention to which of these two teams will win the treble in the end?

Or, how do the three championships fall between Manchester United and the Chinese at Bayswater?
Judging from the current situation, the league basically belongs to Manchester United.

Unless, Ferguson's Red Devils do something weird in the last round, but this possibility is very small.

There is still a big gap in strength between Wigan Athletic and Manchester United.

What about the FA Cup and Champions League finals?

Many bookmakers have also offered their odds.

Among them, the Times has analyzed the future trends.

Authoritative British media believe that the situation of the Chinese in Bayswater is relatively dangerous.

The league has lost the initiative, needless to say.

The FA Cup final is also a difficult problem.

"Yang Cheng promised at the beginning of the season to let young players play in the cup competition."

"Now, this group of young players have fought their way to the finals. Should we let them play?"

The Times believes that at the beginning of the season, no one thought that things would end up this way.

But now, if young players are arranged to play in the FA Cup final, there is no doubt that Manchester United will be the favorite to win the championship.

But if the main lineup is allowed to play, what about the young players?
this is a problem.

If we lose the league and the FA Cup, how will we play in the Champions League final?
Therefore, the Times believes that the Chinese in Bayswater are now faced with a difficult choice.

"If Yang Cheng doesn't do a good job, it is very likely that they will lose three championships and repeat the mistakes of Manchester United last season."

"Then they will become the most tragic Sanya Kings in history!"

……

Ever since the Champions League semi-final, Yang Cheng has been in a difficult situation.

Not only him, but the entire coaching staff was in the same dilemma.

The FA Cup final will be held on May 5 at Wembley Stadium in London.

The Champions League final will be held on May 5 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia.

There is a gap of 3 days in between.

For Yang Cheng, the FA Cup final does not have as much mental burden as it does for the British.

This is a cup game.

Therefore, he decided to play with young players.

No matter what, even if they lose, it is still a way to accumulate valuable experience for young players.

After all, this is the final against Manchester United.

What's more, it would be good to wear down Manchester United in this final.

Besides, this group of young players from Bayswater Chinese may not necessarily lose.

They also made it to the finals based on their strength.

The real difficulty is, if we lose to Manchester United in the FA Cup final, how to avoid affecting the subsequent Champions League final?

Also, how to play against Manchester United in the final?
The Chinese at Bayswater failed to win the two matches against Manchester United this season.

It was 1-1 at Old Trafford and 3-3 at Wembley.

To be honest, Manchester United scored more goals away from home, but they still won.

Moreover, Yang Cheng had to admit that Manchester United's lineup this season was indeed very strong.

Especially the back line, which is so solid.

The current Manchester United can even be said to be the strongest in history, even stronger than when they won the treble in 99.

In terms of midfield, Manchester United's midfield has been greatly improved after Hargreaves joined.

The only problem with this player is that he suffers a lot of injuries.

But in recent times, Hargreaves has been in very good form.

Plus the trident in the frontcourt.

It can be said that it is really a headache.

Yang Cheng had played in several Champions League finals in his previous life, although he lost all of them.

But he has experience.

So he told psychologist Tim Harkness early in the morning to prepare some effective stress-lowering activities.

The team's bus will also be loaded with a range of drinking water, food and supplies and will depart for Russia early.

By then, the club's travel and eating in Moscow will be basically the same as in London.

Adam Crozier even flew to Moscow personally to look for a suitable hotel.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.

Only Yang Cheng was under increasing pressure.

In particular, public opinion outside is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Chinese in Bayswater.

Xia Qing saw all of this and was worried.

"How about I tell my dad, mom, brother, uncle and aunt to come over after the game is over?"

The day before the last round of the Premier League, when Yang Cheng returned to the apartment for dinner, Xia Qing asked with concern.

"Why?" Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little puzzled.

Yang Cheng's parents, Xia Qing's parents, as well as Xia Xi and his girlfriend are coming to London. This was arranged during the Spring Festival.

I didn't expect this to happen then.

The most important thing is to celebrate the completion of their villa decoration and their move-in.

According to domestic customs, both parents should come to see the baby.

Especially Yang Cheng’s parents who paid the money.

So they made an appointment to come to London together to stay and play for a few days after the league was over.

This was proposed by Yang Cheng himself.

Originally, he wanted to invite Xia Qing's grandparents and great-grandparents over, but the old people were too lazy to come out.

"Aren't we busy lately? Even if we come, we won't have time to accompany them." Xia Qing made an excuse gently.

Yang Cheng looked at her deeply, knowing what was going on, and reached out his hand, gently holding Xia Qing's soft hand.

"I don't have any problems here. Victory and defeat are common in the military."

"Besides, Uncle, Auntie, and Xia Xi all took time off, and my parents have also made arrangements, so we don't want to spoil their fun."

After saying that, Yang Cheng smiled and said, "I have already made the arrangements. We plan to invite all the players' families to follow the team to the FA Cup final and the Champions League final."

"So, they're here, isn't that just in time?"

Xia Qing was still a little worried and felt that there was no need to add pressure to Yang Cheng.

"It's really okay, don't feel burdened. This kind of thing will become common in the future. We have to reach the Champions League final frequently. As a family member, you will have to adapt to it in the future."

Seeing that Yang Cheng was still joking, Xia Qing felt a little better.

"During this period, you have been in charge of all the decoration and furniture purchases. Thank you for your hard work." Yang Cheng gently squeezed the Rouyi in his hand. It was very soft and comfortable.

"I will be quite busy at that time, so you will be responsible for receiving them and let them live directly in our new home. I will still live here so it will be more convenient for me to do things." Xia Qing had no objection.

She also knew that if Yang Cheng was really busy, he would work day and night.

……

The last round of the Premier League is being played simultaneously.

The game starts at 14: in the afternoon.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Derby County away.

Yang Cheng also sent out all his main players in this match, after all, it was the last battle.

Although the possibility of overturning Manchester United and winning the championship is not great, Yang Cheng still played with all the main players.

After the game started, the Chinese in Bayswater took the initiative and launched an attack.

Derby County has been relegated early.

This team has won 1 game, drawn 8 games and got 11 points this season. It can almost be said to be the worst relegated team in the history of the Premier League.

Just 15 minutes into the game, Dzeko sent a back pass in the penalty area, and Yaya Toure made a long shot from behind and penetrated the Derby County goal.

1 is better than 0!

Subsequently, Derby County committed consecutive fouls and received yellow card warnings.

They really had no other choice.

Without fouls, there is no way to stop the Bayswater Chinese.

It was not until the 37th minute that Modric and Di Maria completed a two-pass combination, broke into the penalty area and made a cross, and Dzeko shot in front of the goal to expand the score.

2 is better than 0!

Before the end of the first half, Bayswater Chinese had several brilliant attacks that almost resulted in goals.

In the second half, Bayswater Chinese continued to pursue the victory.

First, Maicon made a cross from the right, and Arshavin shot into the penalty area, 3-0!

Just 2 minutes later, a long pass came from the backcourt. Dzeko stopped the ball on the right rib, broke through with the ball, entered the penalty area and shot into the goal, 4-0!

Afterwards, Dzeko scored another goal and completed a hat trick.

This was also Dzeko's first hat trick in the Premier League and in his career.

After leading 5-0, Bayswater Chinese made consecutive substitutions.

Afterwards, Arshavin, Lewandowski and Gareth Bale scored goals.

In the end, the team beat Derby County 8-0 away from home.

The last goal was scored with 15 minutes left in the game.

But the Chinese in Bayswater did not press on with their victory.

At another stadium, Manchester United also fielded all their main players.

But Ferguson's team did not play well against Wigan Athletic's defense.

Even for a long time, they were unable to get any threatening shots.

But in the 33rd minute, a Wigan Athletic defender tripped Rooney in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty.

C Ronaldo scored the penalty kick.

After that, until the 80th minute, Giggs scored another goal for Manchester United.

In the end, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 away.

The Red Devils also won the Premier League title in the 07/08 season.

……

After 38 rounds of matches, Manchester United successfully won the championship.

Bayswater Chinese team followed closely behind with a difference of 1 point and won the runner-up.

Chelsea finished third in the league.

Although Liverpool won the last two rounds, Benítez's team couldn't stand the poor performance in the previous games.

Especially in the 35th round, when the Chinese in Bayswater had helped them beat Arsenal and directly put the fourth place in the league into their mouths, they actually spit it out in the 36th round.

In the end, Arsenal finished fourth in the league and Liverpool finished fifth.

As a result, the Premier League places in the Champions League next season will be Manchester United, Bayswater Chinese, Chelsea and Arsenal.

After a two-season absence, the Gunners finally returned to the Champions League.

After 38 rounds of matches, the three teams that were relegated were Derby County, Birmingham and Fulham.

There is only one point difference between Fulham in 18th place and Bolton in 17th place.

The relegation battle between these two teams went to the last round.

According to the British media, this is a match involving nearly 3000 million pounds in television broadcast fees and tens of millions of pounds in annual revenue.

In the end it was Fulham in West London who were relegated.

In fact, Yang Cheng was mentally prepared for this result.

Losing the league is a high probability event.

As for Fulham's relegation, he was not too happy.

If Chelsea or Arsenal were relegated, he might apply to set off fireworks in Hyde Park and celebrate.

As for Fulham, Yang Cheng didn’t take it seriously.

Instead, the outside media started a new round of crazy hype.

It simply means that by losing the league, Bayswater Chinese has taken another step towards becoming the king of Sanya.

In terms of player performance, Bayswater Chinese and Manchester United can be said to have won and lost alternately.

C Ronaldo ranks first in the scorer list with 31 league goals.

Dzeko, the Bosnian center forward of Bayswater Chinese, has also had a big outbreak this season, ranking closely behind with 25 goals.

Liverpool's Torres and Arsenal's Adebayor both scored 24 goals, ranking third.

Next is Arshavin, who ranks fifth with 5 goals.

This was also the Russian's most goal-scoring season ever.

In terms of offensive combination, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez scored 31 goals, 12 goals and 14 goals respectively, contributing a total of 57 goals, which can be said to be the most offensive combination in European football today.

The performance of Bayswater Chinese's front trident was not as good as Manchester United. Dzeko scored 25 goals, Arshavin scored 21 goals, but Di Maria only scored 5 goals, a total of 51 goals.

Although Di Maria has scored few goals, he has provided a lot of assists. He is the second highest assist provider in the Premier League this season after Fabregas.

This is enough to highlight Di Maria's characteristics.

Although the Argentine is a typical South American small forward, he actually relies mainly on passing and assisting, and individual scoring is obviously not his forte.

On the contrary, players like Gareth Bale and Walcott have both scored 8 Premier League goals this season.

In addition, Dzeko, a center forward from Poland, has also scored 8 Premier League goals this season.

It is precisely because of the outstanding performance of this group of young players, plus Yaya Toure also scored 8 goals, that the total number of goals scored by Bayswater Chinese in the Premier League this season is exactly 100 goals.

This allowed Bayswater Chinese to surpass the 99 goals created by Manchester United in the 00/97 season, their peak season in history, and become the first team in Premier League history to score more than goals in a single season.

In the 99/00 season, Manchester United scored 97 goals and conceded 45 goals.

This season, Bayswater Chinese have scored 100 goals while conceding only 28 goals.

Looking at the entire Premier League, the number of goals conceded is tied for second place, only losing 2 goals to Manchester United, which is on par with Liverpool.

But the Reds only scored 67 goals.

Even those media reporters who are pessimistic about the future of the Chinese team in Bayswater have to admit that with the performance of the Chinese team in Bayswater this season, if they had not encountered the strongest Red Devils Manchester United in history, they might have swept the entire Premier League and won the Treble.

Not to mention anything else, how many teams can stop him from scoring over 100 goals in a single season?
But Ferguson's Manchester United not only had the strongest defense, but also scored 80 goals, which was also impressive.

If we have to find a problem, it is that we rely too much on the Trident.

So no matter how Ferguson rotated the players, the front trident dared not move.

Because, apart from the trident, the other Manchester United players have scored very few goals.

The player who scored the most was Saha, who scored 5 goals, while Giggs and Nani each scored 3 goals.

It can be said to be a cliff-like gap.

On the contrary, the goal statistics of several young players of Bayswater Chinese are quite good, and the overall distribution is very balanced.

The Sun also made a special statistics and found that there are as many as 18 Chinese players in Bayswater who have scored goals this season.

What about Manchester United?
There are only 13 people.

This is a very obvious gap.

Yang Cheng's team can be said to be in great form offensively.

The Red Devils put all their efforts into building a trident in the front court, even including Cristiano Ronaldo.

This also led to Manchester United's reliance on the front trident.

No matter who is rotated, no one dares to rotate the front trident.

As soon as the rotation started, the team started to fall apart.

However, it is worth mentioning that the last round of the Premier League is also related to this season's Golden Glove Award.

As early as the 06/07 season, Neuer won the Premier League Golden Glove Award by keeping 20 shutouts.

At that time, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina came in second with 19 times and failed to win the award.

This season, the two top goalkeepers compete again.

In the end, in 38 league rounds, both players kept 18 shutouts and shared the Premier League Golden Glove Award this season.

Neuer accepted the Premier League award at Bayswater Stadium on his return to London after playing for Derby County.

When interviewed by media reporters, the German goalkeeper thanked his teammates and the team coach.

In particular, special thanks were given to head coach Yang Cheng.

Although there has always been some controversy over the Premier League's Golden Glove Award, which uses the number of shutouts as the selection criteria, it is undeniable that after joining Bayswater Chinese, Neuer has become one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League and even European football.

Adequate game training has allowed Neuer to improve very quickly.

At only 22 years old, he has won the Premier League Golden Glove Award twice. Neuer's talent and strength are evident.

While Neuer was receiving the Premier League Golden Glove Award, Ferguson was also in Manchester, accepting interviews from media reporters as the newly crowned Premier League champion.

The Manchester United godfather said excitedly that he now has two goals, one long and one short.

The long-term goal is to win more championships for Manchester United and kick Liverpool off the championship throne.

Short goals are simple.

"I hope to win the two crucial finals in the next 10 days."

What Ferguson was talking about was the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.

“I know it will be very difficult. Bayswater Chinese is a very strong team, but I always believe that as long as we focus on the game, the victory and the championship will definitely belong to us!”

"We will win the FA Cup final first, and then go into the Champions League final with the high morale of the double champions!"

……

March 5st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the FA Cup final, Bayswater Chinese faced Manchester United.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Cheng actually fulfilled his promise to the young people and continued to let them start.

Goalkeeper: Begovic;
Defense: Marcelo, Jose Fonte, Koscielny and Piszczek;

Midfield: Matic is in the back, with Matuidi and Rakitic in the middle;

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Walcott.

In contrast, Manchester United played with its full main lineup.

Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar;

Defence: Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and Wes Brown;

Midfield: Giggs, Carrick, Hargreaves and Ronaldo;
Forwards: Rooney and Tevez.

As Yang Cheng said before, Ferguson has never dared to rotate the trident.

Yang Cheng fulfilled his promise and made these young players of Bayswater Chinese team full of fighting spirit and extremely excited, showing their aggressive momentum from the start.

Less than a minute into the game, Matuidi threatened Van der Sar's goal with a long shot from outside the box.

In the 12th minute, Gareth Bale received a pass from Matuidi on the left, rushed through Manchester United's midfield, and made a diagonal pass behind him. Walcott successfully made an offside, broke into the penalty area, and shot directly from the right side of the penalty spot.

As a result, the shot was saved in time by Van der Sar who was halfway through the game.

One minute later, Bayswater Chinese won a corner kick in the frontcourt.

Koscielny's header went just wide.

The most threatening moment was in the 21st minute, when Gareth Bale made a cross from the left, Lewandowski received the ball in the penalty area, dribbled past Ferdinand, and took a low shot from the left edge of the small penalty area.

The ball hit the base of the left post and bounced out of the baseline.

Bayswater Chinese missed a great opportunity.

In the first 21 minutes, Manchester United was forced by this group of young Chinese players from Bayswater and could not even take a shot.

It was not until the 24th minute that Manchester United threatened Begovic's goal with a long shot.

But the Chinese in Bayswater persisted in their attack.

First, he used a set-piece tactic in the frontcourt, which made everyone in Manchester United break out in a cold sweat.

Lewandowski's header was just barely in the net.

In the 40th minute, Gareth Bale used his speed on the left to force past Wes Brown and made a cross near the baseline.

Lewandowski was about to rush over to shoot in front of the goal when he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Walcott at the back tried to make a shovel shot, but it was a little slow and the ball hit the right side of the net.

Lewandowski stood up and protested to the referee, thinking that he was pulled down from behind by Ferdinand, but the referee did not make any penalty.

It can also be seen from the slow-motion replay that Ferdinand did make some movements with his hands.

It can be said that throughout the first half, the young Chinese players of Bayswater put Manchester United in a very embarrassing situation and their offensive was very fierce.

But during the half-time break, Yang Cheng repeatedly warned the players that Manchester United had not yet really exerted their strength.

Ferguson will definitely save some energy for the upcoming Champions League final, so Manchester United players played rather laxly.

Therefore, Manchester United focused more on defense in the first half.

But as the situation was bad in the first half, it will definitely improve in the second half.

Maybe Ferguson has already used his unique skills in the locker room.

As expected, Manchester United took immediate action after the second half.

The attacking group led by Ronaldo launched a fierce attack on the Chinese in Bayswater.

The most threatening moment came in the 53rd minute, when Ronaldo made a heel pass to assist Rooney, who broke into the penalty area and shot, but Begovic's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper and went out of the baseline.

After Manchester United made an effort, the Chinese in Bayswater began to shift more to defense.

It is true that Matic's current strength is not as good as Yaya Toure, but the tall and burly Serbian has gradually adapted to the role of defensive midfielder after a season of experience.

Moreover, he gradually realized that he could play more easily in this position.

With his technical characteristics, his shortcomings will be magnified if he plays as a number ten.

If he moves back to the 4th position, his advantage will be magnified.

The only problem is that he needs to improve his defensive skills and awareness.

This requires more competitions.

Matuidi is another player on the field that makes Yang Cheng very satisfied.

When many people first look at Matuidi, they must think that this guy is an African with a beastly waist. He looks rough and it is obvious that he is not a good person.

But actually?
Not really!
Matuidi's passing ability is very, very strong, and his success rate has remained at around 90% for a long time.

But he mainly uses short passes and rarely uses long passes.

More importantly, he is a great runner and robber.

In the past few years since he came to Bayswater Chinese, his ability has improved greatly.

Especially in the last two seasons, he has become a very important rotation role in the first team.

When Las Diarra is injured or suspended, or participating in national team matches, Matuidi takes over.

It is precisely because of Matuidi's sweeping in the midfield, coupled with Rakitic's ability to attack and defend well, his superb running ability, and Matic behind him, that the Bayswater Chinese midfield can still withstand Manchester United's repeated attacks.

The two sides fought hard until the 71st minute, when Manchester United's C Ronaldo broke through on the right, entered the penalty area and shot, causing Begovic to miss the ball.

Tevez got ahead of Koscielny and shot the ball into the goal from close range.

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United made a substitution quickly.

Nani replaced Ronaldo and Ashley Young replaced Rooney.

Yang Cheng also made a substitution, Aaron Ramsey replaced Matic.

Then Arshavin replaced Rakitic.

In this way, Matuidi and Aaron Ramsey played as double defensive midfielders, with Arshavin lurking behind Lewandowski.

The Chinese in Bayswater changed their formation to 4231.

In the last 20 minutes, the Chinese players from Bayswater almost dominated Manchester United.

Especially in the last 10 minutes, even Marcelo and Piszczek were pressing forward frantically, forcing Manchester United to retreat almost all the way.

Aaron Ramsey performed particularly well.

Although he played as a double defensive midfielder, he actually often made forward runs to form passing and cutting cooperation with Arshavin in the frontcourt.

The most threatening moment was in the 81st minute, when he sent a through ball, which Gareth Bale kicked and hit Ferdinand, sending the ball out of bounds.

Aaron Ramsey took the corner kick, but Jose Fonte headed it too straight and was caught by Van der Sar.

Then in the 89th minute, Arshavin made a wonderful pass and Ramsey volleyed the ball from the right side of the penalty area, causing Van der Sar to lose his grip.

But the Dutch reacted quickly and caught the ball again as soon as it slipped out of his hands.

Lewandowski was a step slow after all.

Until the 94th minute, Piszczek was still launching an attack from the right and shot the ball into the side net.

In the end, referee Mike Dean blew the whistle to end the game.

Thanks to Tevez's goal, Manchester United beat Bayswater Chinese 1-0.

But Ferguson, who won the victory, did not seem as excited as he should be after winning the double.

The course of this game was somewhat beyond his expectations.

According to the idea of ​​the godfather of Manchester United, if Yang Cheng plays as the main player, Manchester United will fight to the death with the Chinese in Bayswater. Anyway, after the fight, the two sides will still have to go to the Champions League final for another fierce battle.

If he comes on as a substitute, that's perfect, the game can be ended early and the player can save his energy for the Champions League final.

But what Ferguson didn't expect was that the Chinese in Bayswater, playing with a young lineup, would perform so tenaciously.

Manchester United even almost couldn't hold on several times.

After this game, the players were exhausted.

Except for Ronaldo and Rooney, and Hargreaves who left the field later, everyone else played the full 94 minutes.

The first half was fine, but the pace picked up in the second half.

"Where on earth did he find so many young little monsters?" Ferguson felt a headache.

Queiroz is also very good at training young players. The talents displayed by these young Chinese players from Bayswater in the game cannot be hidden at all, and he is also very happy to see them.

"In two or three years, when this group of players grow up, we will have a brand new Chinese team in Bayswater!" Queiroz praised with a smile.

Ferguson's frown deepened.

How could he not know?
"Do you think he lost the FA Cup on purpose? To save his energy for the Champions League?" Ferguson asked.

Queiroz turned his head and glanced at Yang Cheng, neither happy nor sad, and seemed not to take the cup competition too seriously.

"It's not like he did it on purpose. He did his best in this game, but he just didn't arrange for the main players to play."

Everyone knows that this is because Yang Cheng made a promise to the players before the season.

"If there were a group of young players like this, I would also let them play if it was me."

"Oh?" Ferguson was a little surprised.

"Playing in the FA Cup final with Manchester United will be of great benefit to their growth. Even if they lose, it will be worth it!"

Ferguson was somewhat moved.

Who is Queiroz?

It has trained Portugal's golden generation of youth training masters, led by Figo and Rui Costa.

He is definitely one of the best coaches in world football at developing young players.

After hearing what he said, Ferguson's good mood about winning the double championship suddenly faded a lot.

I even started to get worried.

On the 21st, the Champions League final!
