I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 169: Ticket to Rome! That night, he was the strongest in history! [Subscribe]

"Beep!"

A crisp whistle sounded over Old Trafford in Manchester.

The referee quickly ran to the penalty spot, waved at Fletcher, reached into his chest pocket, and took out a yellow sapphire good guy card.

The entire Old Trafford stadium was suddenly filled with boos!
Manchester United fans have always been loyal to their relatives and not to others.

Anyway, you can't play cards against our players on our turf!
But this was an outright foul, and even the Manchester United players themselves had no dispute about it.

Di Maria received a straight pass from Yaya Toure on the left rib, dribbled forward and rushed past Fletcher. The Manchester United midfielder was unable to stop the Argentine and pushed him down from the side and back.

If no card is given for this kind of foul, it is not simply a matter of soft enforcement, but rather a suspicion of refereeing bias.

Fletcher's foul was also timely.

If the foul is not committed decisively and Di Maria breaks through, once Gareth Bale rushes forward, or the ball is passed to Dzeko in front, it will be a huge threat to Manchester United's defense.

It was worth it to use a foul and a yellow card to stop a threatening attack by the Chinese in Bayswater!

Gareth Bale came over, pulled up Di Maria, and at the same time placed the ball kicked back from the front on the penalty spot.

The Welshman took two slow steps back.

The ball was about 25 meters away from the goal, which was within his shooting range.

The position is slightly left of the center, which is also suitable for him to kick directly.

In the Bayswater Chinese team, basically no one would compete with him for the right to take the penalty kick.

Gareth Bale has also worked hard to improve his free kick skills.

With the referee's whistle, Gareth Bale took a quick run-up and rushed to the ball at an extremely fast speed. After standing on his right foot, he kicked out a curved ball with his left foot.

Bale's speed is extremely fast. With the inertia created by his run-up and his free throw posture, he put almost all of his strength into this free throw.

Therefore, the direct free kick taken by the Welsh players has a very fast speed and a very low arc.

Just as it passed over the heads of the human wall, it quickly fell down and landed to the left side of the goal.

The ball was coming at an extremely fast speed and with great force. Even though Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar was very focused and reacted quickly, he could only block the ball.

The ball hit Van der Sar's hand, and he couldn't hold it tightly, so it bounced immediately into the penalty area.

At almost the same time, Walcott, Di Maria and Dzeko all chased after him at their fastest speed.

Especially Walcott.

The little tiger has the fastest reaction and speed, and has the best coordination with Gareth Bale.

He rushed into the small penalty area in one step, and shot the falling ball from outside the left side of the goal post.

At the critical moment, Van der Sar rushed out and used his body to block Walcott's close shot.

But the ball got out of Van der Sar's control again.

There was a sudden chaos in Manchester United's penalty area.

"Gareth Bale's direct free kick was very threatening."

"Walcott's follow-up shot hit Van der Sar."

"There's still a chance, Dzeko plays again!"

"Vidic blocked the ball with his body."

"Manchester United are in a very dangerous situation."

"Continuous shooting from the Bayswater Chinese."

"Carrick cleared the ball out of bounds just in time."

"It turned into a foul ball."

"It's really too dangerous!"

"The Bayswater Chinese created the most threatening attack of the game."

"Direct free kick from Gareth Bale."

"This ball has a lot of similarities to Ronaldo's free kick just now, except that one is on the right and the other is on the left."

"Gareth Bale's penalty was also very threatening and he almost scored."

The entire Old Trafford stadium was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

Manchester United fans were cheering loudly, cheering for the Red Devils players.

Three consecutive shots, fortunately all were blocked.

Otherwise, Manchester United’s goal would be lost!

Thinking of this, the Red Devils players were all scared.

Especially after the game entered the 70th minute, they could clearly feel that their own and their teammates' physical energy was constantly being lost, and they were gradually unable to keep up with the pace of the game of Bayswater Chinese.

In terms of physical fitness, Yang Cheng's team is obviously better.

Moreover, Di Maria, who just came on as a substitute, was more active.

The Argentine's dribbling is also very threatening.

Especially this kind of direct breakthrough made Manchester United's defense feel very difficult.

……

"Don't always go head-to-head with them and try to get past them."

After Gareth Bale's direct free kick failed to break the Manchester United goal, the throw-in also failed to result in a goal.

While walking back, Modric came to Di Maria and reminded him.

"Your advantage is not your physique, but your technique and speed!"

"Pass more and run more!"

"We will all pick you up!"

Di Maria understands that his playing style is sometimes not concise enough.

This is a common problem among South American players.

Just like just now, he could obviously break through Fletcher's defense faster, but when he stopped the ball, he handled it a bit sloppily.

This is really fatal in Manchester United's tight defensive system.

Neither Fletcher nor Scholes have much speed.

After Modric's reminder, Di Maria immediately realized that the purpose of head coach Yang Cheng arranging him to play was to use his footwork and speed to create opportunities in the flanks and midfield.

"I understand." Di Maria nodded in agreement.

Modric patted Di Maria on the shoulder, turned and ran away.

……

Time quickly came to 83 minutes.

Bayswater Chinese almost completely controlled the ball and the tempo.

Manchester United could only passively take the beating and organize a tight defense.

The Red Devils obviously hope to maintain the score of 1-0 until the end of the game and keep Bayswater Chinese scoreless.

The visiting team's goal is to score goals.

Yang Cheng quickly made a second substitution, replacing Walcott with Lewandowski.

The little tiger's performance today was indeed not ideal under Evra's close defense.

But Yang Cheng did not blame him.

Even players as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi can be frozen at times, let alone Walcott.

Especially when Manchester United tightened their defense, it was indeed not conducive to Walcott's performance.

After the substitution, the right side was basically handed over to Maicon.

In the 86th minute, Maicon dribbled the ball forward on the right and passed it to Modric.

The Croatian waved to Maicon to move forward, and he would be responsible for assisting and protecting the right side from behind.

But when Maicon was moving quickly forward along the right sideline, Modric did not pass the ball to Maicon, but instead sent a straight pass.

Di Maria ran sideways from the right and instantly passed Scholes when he received the ball.

The Argentine's footwork came in handy at this moment. After receiving the ball, Di Maria immediately started and sent a straight pass with his left foot to the right side of the top area.

Maicon moved forward to the right winger position and attracted Evra out.

Lewandowski stood on the right side of the arc, while Dzeko stood inside the arc.

When Di Maria's pass came to Lewandowski's feet, the Polish center stopped the ball and Vidic behind him immediately came up, and Carrick in front of him also returned to defend and double-team.

Ferdinand moved forward decisively.

The Manchester United center back saw Dzeko entering the penalty area and was afraid that Lewandowski would pass the ball to Dzeko.

Ferdinand's movement just cut off the passing line between Lewandowski and Dzeko.

As long as the ball is passed to him, he can take one step forward and intercept it with his foot.

But Lewandowski stretched out his hand to block Vidic behind him, and when he turned around to protect the ball, he also saw that Dzeko could not pass the ball.

But he immediately thought of another way.

Di Maria used his speed to shake off Scholes and was sprinting quickly.

The Argentine called out Lewandowski.

The two players cooperated very well, and the Polish center forward gently pushed the ball to the side with the outside of his left foot.

Di Maria passed by Lewandowski, kicked the ball into the penalty area, and headed straight to the right side of the small penalty area.

The rushing Di Maria was like an eagle on the Pampas, with an extremely fast speed. He instantly penetrated Manchester United's defense line, rushed to the right side outside the small penalty area, caught up with the ball, and directly made a cross with a kick.

At the most critical moment, his body's conditioned reflex made him use the most familiar and instinctive way of kicking the ball.

The ball was picked up by Di Maria and fell into the middle of the small penalty area.

Almost at the same time, two gray-gold figures quickly arrived.

Gareth Bale and Dzeko both jumped up at the same time to compete for the header, creating a situation of two ghosts hitting the goal.

In the end, Dzeko, who was closer to the center and in a better position, took the lead and headed the ball into the far corner, heading the ball to the left side of Manchester United's goal.

Gareth Bale, who was a little behind, headed the ball into empty air.

But the ball flew straight into Manchester United's goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"86th minute, 86th minute!"

"The Chinese from Bayswater scored against Manchester United!"

"From Bosnian center forward Dzeko!"

"It was a golden header!"

"Dzeko equalized the score for Bayswater Chinese with a wonderful header!"

"1 to 1!"

“A precious away goal!”

"The Chinese from Bayswater finally broke through Manchester United's goal!"

"Ferguson's team defended tightly throughout the game, but at the last minute, Di Maria, who was substituted on, made a wonderful cross and assisted Dzeko to score with a header!"

The Bayswater Chinese players rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly.

Di Maria even jumped onto Dzeko and cheered excitedly!

The live TV camera was also directed to the sidelines.

Yang Cheng jumped up and waved his fists continuously to vent his inner excitement.

Ferguson in the home team's coaching booth shook his head in disappointment.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with the result.

But, he had no choice!

……

After the 1-1 draw, the Chinese players in Bayswater were in high spirits and continued to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United.

The Red Devils defended vigorously.

Ferguson made his final substitution, replacing Tevez with Evans to further strengthen the defense.

But even so, in the 89th minute, Di Maria had a chance to get the ball on the right side of the frontcourt, facing the pursuit and interception of two defensive players, Evra and Evans.

The Argentine first passed the ball through Evra, then dribbled around Evans and managed to dribble the ball out despite being double-teamed by two Manchester United players.

But when he made the final cross with the outside of his left foot, Lewandowski, who was waiting in the front post, hit the outside of the right post and the ball bounced out of the bottom line.

The Polish center was so frustrated that he raised his head and roared, looking particularly depressed.

This is a goal in the Champions League semi-final!
How many professional players may not score even one goal in their entire life!
He actually missed the shot that was so close!
Manchester United has shrunk even tighter.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese drew 1-1 with Manchester United away.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Old Trafford was filled with boos.

No one was satisfied with the result.

Except Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese.

Especially when Yang Cheng saw Ferguson's face after the game, which looked like he had lost millions of pounds betting on horses, he felt so good.

"I told you, you can't win with your current lineup!"

The two sides still have another round, and Yang Cheng doesn't mind adding insult to injury and stepping on the opponent again.

Manchester United is not doing well now, and will be even worse next season.

Because Ronaldo has decided to leave the team this summer, and he is basically going to Real Madrid.

This is something everyone knows.

Ferguson was indeed speechless.

His strategic goal in this game is to defeat Bayswater Chinese, and at worst to maintain a draw while keeping the opponent scoreless.

But now?

The draw was held, but an away goal was conceded.

This was Ferguson's bottom line.

A precious away goal would be really fatal for Manchester United.

"Wait for me at Wembley!"

Ferguson uttered a harsh word in frustration, then turned and left angrily.

"Anxious!"

Yang Cheng won the game and was very happy. He pointed at Ferguson and smiled at Brian Kidd.

"Look at how anxious he is!"

But after the joke, Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd stopped smiling and started paying attention to the game.

Except for the opening and clearance stages, Manchester United did not adopt a strict defensive tactic.

However, Ferguson's aggressive and physical tactics still caused great damage to the Chinese in Bayswater.

Manchester United themselves couldn't launch a threatening attack, but neither could the Chinese in Bayswater.

……

After the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese faced the 35th round of the Premier League at the weekend.

In the 34th round of the game, Bayswater Chinese beat Stoke City 5-0 and won 90 minutes.

Manchester United, ranked second, has only 77 points.

Bayswater Chinese's lead reached 13 points.

With only four rounds left in the league, Yang Cheng's team won the league championship ahead of schedule.

Therefore, in this round of away game against Chelsea, since it was exactly between the two Champions League semi-finals, Yang Cheng played with all substitutes and a young lineup.

All the main players were given a rest, so they could recuperate and wait for Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.

On the other hand, Chelsea is doing its best to be in the top four of the league.

Hiddink's team has not given up completely.

Just 50 seconds into the game, Anelka received an assist from Drogba and scored the first goal for Chelsea.

This was his first goal in the last three months.

But just three minutes later, the Chinese team in Bayswater successfully equalized the score.

Aaron Ramsey dribbled through the middle and made a straight pass. Lewandowski took a long shot from the right side of the penalty area and penetrated the goal guarded by Cech to equalize the score.

But in the 10th minute, Anelka made a straight pass, Drogba made a cross from the right, and Malouda followed up and scored, increasing the score again.

But in the 14th minute, Hazard dribbled the ball on the left and broke into the penalty area, but was fouled by Alex and fell to the ground.

The referee was very observant and awarded a penalty kick.

Lewandowski scored twice in one fell swoop, equalizing the score again.

Afterwards, the two sides attacked and defended each other until the 83rd minute of the second half, when Drogba scored another goal for Chelsea.

In the end, the Blues defeated Bayswater Chinese 3-2.

Although they lost the game, Yang Cheng's group of young players performed well and won unanimous praise from the media and fans.

Having already won the championship and having to focus on the Champions League, the Chinese players of Bayswater were able to fight 2-3 against Chelsea's main team away from home with an all-substitute lineup. This shows the performance of the players.

It is worth mentioning that in the FA Cup final, Bayswater Chinese will still mainly rely on young players.

Yang Cheng also repeatedly emphasized that the next three games will give young players more playing time.

Among the other games in this round, Yang Cheng is most concerned about Manchester United.

In this game, the Red Devils will challenge Mr. Southgate's Middlesbrough away.

Ferguson played with a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

In the end, Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 2-0 away with goals from Giggs and Ashley Young.

But Berbatov, Rooney, Vidic, O'Shea, Scholes and Giggs all played the whole game.

Evra also played 80 minutes.

Yang Cheng also understood Ferguson's arrangement.

To put it bluntly, Manchester United's current situation is not particularly safe.

It is highly likely that we will finish in the top four, but we can’t afford to lose points again and again.

If we fail to beat Middlesbrough in the 35th round, then in the 36th and 37th rounds we will play Manchester City and Arsenal at home respectively. What if something unexpected happens?

As one gains, the other loses. By that time, Manchester United's top four position will be in danger.

Therefore, Ferguson had no choice but to arrange such a lineup to play against Middlesbrough.

In this round, Manchester City defeated Blackburn Rovers 3-1 at home.

Arsenal beat Portsmouth 3-0 away from home.

Wenger's team also sent out all the substitutes in this round, but they could not withstand the outstanding performance of two players, Bendtner and Carlos Vela.

Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0 at home.

After 35 rounds of games, Manchester United has 80 points, Arsenal has 78 points, Liverpool and Manchester City both have 74 points, and Chelsea has 71 points.

The battle for the top four in the league has entered a fierce stage.

With three rounds left, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea may all fall out of the top four.

Such a fierce battle for Champions League qualification has never happened in the history of the Premier League.

……

On the evening of May 5, Wembley Stadium, London.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese will host Manchester United at home.

The two sides drew 1-1 in the first round, and Yang Cheng's team got a valuable away goal.

This gives Bayswater Chinese a certain advantage at home in the second leg.

But the starting lineups of the two teams were still quite surprising.

Yang Cheng is still 433.

Goalkeeper: Neuer;

Defense: Leighton Baines, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Maicon;

Midfield: Yaya Toure drops back, with Matuidi and Modric in the middle;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Dzeko and Walcott.

In response to the problems exposed in the first leg, Yang Cheng made adjustments in the midfield, replacing Rakitic with Matuidi.

Because Yang Cheng was very sure that Ferguson would continue to physically confront the Chinese in Bayswater.

Matuidi can inject strength into the team's midfield and give Manchester United more intensity.

More importantly, after the French midfielder starts, he can bring more changes to the team's midfield.

As for the front trident, despite the poor performance in the first round, Yang Cheng still trusts Walcott and continues to arrange the little tiger to start.

This is also equivalent to expressing an attitude.

Ferguson's starting lineup also shows his attitude.

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar; Defense: Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and O'Shea;

Midfield: Anderson, Carrick and Fletcher;

Forwards: Ashley Young, Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.

There is basically no change in the midfield and backcourt, which means that Ferguson will continue with the tactical play of the first round.

But something was different up front.

Ashley Young replaced Tevez in the starting lineup, playing as left winger.

What about Tevez?
The Argentine beast was placed on the bench.

This is a very strange phenomenon.

Tevez did not play at all in last weekend's league game.

At that time, everyone thought that the Argentine beast was saving his strength for the Champions League.

But now it seems that Ferguson still didn't let him start.

According to the information obtained by Yang Cheng and the scouts, it is probably related to Tevez's contract renewal.

As the season is coming to an end, Ferguson still hopes to put pressure on Tevez and his agency team to sign the Argentine beast with a lower transfer fee and lower weekly salary.

Before the game started, when Yang Cheng got Manchester United's starting lineup list, his first reaction was a little strange.

Even Yang Cheng and Brian Kidd speculated that Tevez and Manchester United must have fallen out.

"Only this can explain why Ferguson would take down Tevez in such an important game!"

Yang Cheng's analysis is reasonable.

Since Ashley Young is being used, Manchester United's tactical style of play will also change accordingly.

The targeted tactics of the Chinese in Bayswater must also be adjusted accordingly.

……

After the game started, the home team Bayswater Chinese took the lead in launching an attack.

First, Matuidi took a long shot after a series of skillful passes and cuts in the frontcourt 2 minutes into the game.

Although it failed to threaten Manchester United's goal, it was still a good start.

Afterwards, the Bayswater Chinese created another wave of attack and got two consecutive corner kick opportunities.

It’s a pity that Manchester United was well prepared for this.

Both corner kick defenses were very successful.

After 10 minutes of attack, the Chinese in Bayswater took the initiative to slow down the attack.

Manchester United took the opportunity to launch an attack.

The Red Devils, playing away from home, didn't take their first shot of the game until the 13th minute.

Ronaldo's long shot was caught directly in Neuer's arms.

From the 15th minute onwards, the game gradually entered a stable state.

The Chinese in Bayswater still wanted to control the ball and the rhythm, and tear open Manchester United's defense through skillful passing and cutting.

The Red Devils continued to rely on their physical advantage, actively seeking confrontation and curbing the passing and organization of the Chinese in Bayswater by disrupting the ball's path.

This had a very good effect in the first round.

Especially in the midfield and backcourt, Manchester United's defense is as solid as a rock.

Yang Cheng had been observing continuously since the beginning.

Especially Manchester United players.

Combining the data and analysis of Gianni Vio and others, Yang Cheng made the first major adjustment of the game in the 21st minute.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he called over the right-back Maicon who was close to him.

"Let Modric and Matuidi reduce their forward runs, and you and Yaya Touredo go forward, especially you."

"You and Walcott need to cooperate well and penetrate their flanks more often!"

"it is good!"

Maicon nodded solemnly in agreement.

After drinking a sip of water, the Brazilian full-back quickly ran back to the field.

He quickly conveyed Yang Cheng's instructions to his teammates around him.

Yang Cheng soon discovered that Maicon, who was closer to him, began to move forward more actively and behaved more actively.

As Ashley Young's former head coach, Yang Cheng knows the player very well and knows his technical characteristics.

He has good speed and certain breakthrough ability, but his most threatening feature is when he gets the ball on the left and cuts inside to pass the ball with his right foot. This is where Ashley Young has the greatest tactical value.

Ferguson obviously also hopes to play to his advantage and let him find Ronaldo who is coming from behind.

Standing on the sidelines, Yang Cheng had even seen Ashley Young consciously using this tactic several times.

But Yang Cheng immediately reminded Thiago Silva.

Therefore, every time Ashley Young made a diagonal pass to Ronaldo, it was blocked by Thiago Silva or Yaya Toure.

Ashley Young is on the left and seldom goes forward directly. Given his characteristics, Yang Cheng arranged for Modric to stay behind to provide cover. He believed that should be enough.

In the first leg, whether it was Rooney, Tevez, or even Ronaldo who appeared on the left several times, they all put tremendous pressure on Maicon.

But Ashley Young didn't do enough in this regard in the second round.

Therefore, Yang Cheng had to liberate Maicon.

With the presence of Matuidi, Yaya Toure is more confident in moving forward.

……

When the game reached the 34th minute, the Bayswater Chinese completed a steal near the center line.

After Modric snatched the ball from Anderson, he launched a counterattack and passed the ball to Maicon on the right.

Maicon quickly moved forward along the right side, caught up with Modric's pass, saw Walcott appear on the ribs, and immediately passed the ball diagonally to him.

Manchester United's defensive players retreated very quickly, and the little tiger had no chance. After stopping the ball with his back, he dribbled back and passed it to Modric.

At this time, Manchester United midfielders, including Anderson and Carrick, had returned to their positions.

The Red Devils' midfield and backcourt defense lines have basically taken shape.

Gareth Bale on the left pulled O'Shea away.

Modric took a step forward with the ball and saw Maicon cutting in from the right sideline behind Anderson and raising his hand to ask for the ball.

The Croatian made a straight pass without hesitation.

The ball passed between Anderson and Carrick.

Maicon made a diagonal run to the flank, intercepted Modric's pass behind two Manchester United midfielders, and continued to move forward.

Evra and Vidic were leaning sideways, backing away, while keeping an eye on Maicon's every move.

But Anderson and Carrick had both successfully turned around and immediately double-teamed Maicon.

There is also Ashley Young who actively returns to defense.

When Maicon dribbled the ball into Manchester United's 30-meter area, there were actually 5 defensive players in the entire right half of Manchester United's defense.

Walcott moved forward smartly, running between Vidic and Carrick, and was able to receive the pass from Maicon.

Dzeko is between Vidic and Ferdinand.

Gareth Bale was in the left corner of the penalty area.

The trident in the front court is ready to move forward and attack the goal at any time.

But Manchester United's double-team on Maicon gradually took shape.

Everyone knew that as long as the ball was passed, it would be a very threatening attack.

The problem is that Manchester United won't let Maicon pass the ball.

And all of it happened in the blink of an eye.

After Maicon rushed into the 30-meter area with the ball, he immediately made a judgment.

Especially when he saw Anderson and Carrick coming towards him.

This is Manchester United's usual tactic in two rounds of matches.

But this trick works for Walcott but not for Maicon.

The Brazilian right-back used his left shoulder to hold Anderson back, and before Carrick could rush over, he suddenly swept the ball sideways with the inside of his right foot.

Carrick thought he was going to pass the ball forward, so he immediately stepped out to block it.

Unexpectedly, Maicon's cross pass went right under his crotch.

A wonderful cross pass broke Manchester United's defense.

Not only were Manchester United's defenders deceived, but even the three Bayswater Chinese attackers in front were deceived. They all moved forward quickly, taking Manchester United's defenders with them.

Just outside Manchester United's arc, a tall and burly man in a red jersey was seen coming all the way from the backcourt.

When Maicon passed the ball to him, Yaya Toure stopped on the inside of his left foot, then rushed forward one step and kicked out quickly with his right foot.

The entire Wembley Stadium heard a very clear muffled bang, as if the air had exploded.

The football flew out from Yaya Toure's feet at an extremely fast speed and went into the left side of Manchester United's goal like lightning.

Van der Sar reacted quickly and dived sideways, but he was still too slow.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Yaya Toure!!"

"In the 34th minute, Yaya Toure scored a goal from outside the penalty area!"

"1 to 0!"

"The total score is now 2 to 1!"

“The Bayswater Chinese fought back brilliantly this time!”

"Maicon passed the ball between five defenders."

"Then, Yaya Toure's long shot lived up to the wonderful assist from his teammates and scored a wonderful world wave!"

"Van der Sar has really tried his best!"

"At his age, it is not easy to make such a save, but Yaya Toure's long shot was too fast and too powerful, and there was no time to stop it!"

The entire Wembley Stadium was in an uproar in an instant!

9 Bayswater Chinese fans were all cheering wildly and shouting hysterically!
If we say that the away goal in the first leg gave the team an advantage.

Now, Yaya Toure's long-range shot allowed the Chinese in Bayswater to further consolidate their advantage!

……

“The Chinese in Bayswater are really scary now!”

In Manchester United's coaching booth, Mike Phelan shook his head helplessly and said with frustration after seeing Yaya Toure score a world-class goal.

"There are so many tactical methods and so many changes!"

Before this game, Ferguson's decision to bench Tevez was not known to anyone, not even to the outside world, including the Manchester United coaching staff and the locker room, until just before the game.

So, Tevez even sat on the bench.

Ferguson's intentions were clear.

Yang Cheng knew Ashley Young very well, so he didn't give Yang Cheng time to react.

Unexpectedly, when it came to the game, Yang Cheng used the starting lineup and the players at hand to adjust different tactical plays based on Manchester United's lineup problems.

Many people say that Ferguson's Manchester United is a ever-changing team.

The reason is that Ferguson is very good at using different players to play different offensive combinations.

For example, Park Ji-sung, Ashley Young, Nani and so on, all showed different characteristics under Ferguson's hands.

This makes it very difficult for the opponent.

But what about Yang Cheng?

Isn't he also versatile?

Even the same group of players can play different offensive variations under Yang Cheng's adjustments.

Is he really only 29?
how can that be possible?
In addition to the richness of tactics, the entire tactical system of the Bayswater Chinese is also very stable.

As the team with the youngest average age in the top five European leagues this season, Bayswater Chinese are only 22 years old.

This is supposed to be a very unstable age.

However, Yang Cheng integrated this group of young players into a mature and stable tactical framework system, and let them play a very stable and sharp offensive football.

This made Mike Phelan feel helpless.

If he were the head coach, facing such an opponent, he really wouldn't know how to play.

"If you were given a choice, who would you consider signing from the Bayswater Chinese this summer?" Ferguson suddenly asked.

Mike Phelan was shocked at first, then ecstatic.

Yes, if we can’t beat them, can we dig them out?

What do wealthy families do?

I can’t beat a wealthy family, but I can cripple you!

"Neuer, Maicon, Yaya Toure, Gareth Bale, Walcott, Dzeko..."

"and many more!"

Ferguson quickly reached out to interrupt the excited Mike Phelan, with an embarrassed look on his face.

If that bastard Yang Cheng were here, I guess he would say: Manchester United might as well buy us back home!
Do you have money?
Dreaming all day long!

"I mean, the most needed one."

"Most needed?" Mike Phelan was a little hesitant to make a decision.

I always feel that every one of these Chinese players from Bayswater is very much needed by Manchester United.

It would be a pity to choose anyone or not.

"Yaya Touré."

"why?"

"Our midfield really needs to be strengthened. If we use the combination of Yaya Toure and Carrick, you can imagine that Carrick doesn't often get forward, and Yaya Toure can be freed up. Our midfield will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

After a pause, Mike Phelan added, "In fact, if this summer..."

He then said, without specifying, "I think Gareth Bale and Walcott would be very good choices."

Ferguson was really tempted.

He saw the shadow of Irving in Walcott, but Yang Cheng's training of Walcott made him firmly believe that the little tiger would be stronger than Irving.

As for achievements, that's probably difficult because Irving is a Golden Globe winner.

Gareth Bale made Ferguson see the shadow of Ronaldo, the two are really similar.

But Ferguson quickly dismissed the tempting idea.

Because he knew that Yang Cheng would never sell Gareth Bale and Walcott.

These two domestic players were carefully cultivated by Yang Cheng and are deeply loved by their domestic fans.

As for Yaya Toure…

Ferguson thought about it and decided to find an opportunity to talk to the Glazer family and try to win Yaya Toure.

As Yang Cheng said before, if Manchester United doesn’t strengthen its recruitment, how can they play in the new season after sending Ronaldo away this summer?
……

The first half ended with a world-class goal from Yaya Toure.

After the change of sides in the second half, Manchester United once wanted to launch a wave of attack.

First, Ronaldo volleyed with his left foot, followed by Ashley Young's right foot shot, but both were confiscated by Neuer.

In the 56th minute, the Bayswater Chinese turned the situation around and quickly launched a counterattack.

Maicon dribbled the ball quickly on the right, and after crossing the center line, he immediately made a straight pass to the right side of the frontcourt.

Dzeko quickly moved to the right and received a straight pass from Maicon, where he was closely marked by Vidic.

The Bosnian center forward first stopped the ball and then turned around. After protecting the ball, he dribbled the ball horizontally to the middle with his left foot and made a horizontal pass before Evra could return to defense.

The ball was passed to the right rib and landed at the feet of Maicon who was running forward at high speed.

The Brazilian full-back ran from behind Evra, got the ball to the ribs, and then passed it across the middle to Walcott who was sprinting along with him.

The little tiger heard Maicon's shout and immediately slowed down. After catching up with the Brazilian's cross pass, he sent an over-the-top pass with his right foot and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

At almost the same time, Maicon ran at high speed all the way to the right side of the penalty area, met the pass from Walcott, and volleyed with his right foot without stopping the ball.

Van der Sar rushed to the halfway point and flew to save the ball, trying to kick it out.

But Maicon's volley was so fast and sharp that he didn't have any time to react.

The ball went straight into Manchester United's goal.

The entire Wembley Stadium was once again in a carnival!

9 fans rushed out of their seats at the same time, all shouting Maicon's name frantically.

The Brazilians also ran all the way and rushed out of the stadium to celebrate the goal.

"fantastic!"

“It’s really wonderful!”

“I never expected that the strongest attacking point of Bayswater Chinese in this game was actually right back Maicon!”

"This is unbelievable!"

"In the first half, Maicon had already made a very beautiful run forward and assist."

"This time, he simply went on his own, ran 70 meters, played wonderful continuous cooperation with his teammates, and finally used a wonderful volley to break Manchester United's goal again!"

"Ferguson's defence blocked Bayswater Chinese's front trident and blocked their midfield combination."

"As a result, Manchester United fell at Maicon's feet!"

"Who could have thought of it? Who would have believed it?"

"Since joining Bayswater Chinese, Maicon's performance has been getting better and better, especially in the last two seasons, sparking heated discussions about who is the best right-back in the world, between him and players like Alves and Lahm."

"But I believe that after tonight, such discussions will be very, very rare."

"There's no need to even discuss it anymore."

"With his outstanding performance this season, Maicon is definitely the best right-back in the world!"

"Especially in tonight's Champions League semi-final."

"Looking at the history of world football, it would be hard to find another right-back as good as Maicon."

"That night, he outshone his predecessor, Cafu!"

……

After Maicon scored the second goal, the total score became 2-3.

Manchester United now has to score two goals to turn the situation around.

But Yang Cheng did not immediately take defensive measures, but continued to launch attacks.

There seems to be an idea of ​​​​making a concerted effort to score more goals.

Maicon is also becoming more and more active on the right.

He first created a free kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt, and then made a wonderful pass. Walcott stopped the ball on the right and cut inside. After shaking off Evra, he shot with his left foot into the upper left corner of the goal and almost scored.

In the 63rd minute, Gareth Bale suddenly cut in from the left, went to the left side of the top of the penalty area, and fired a long shot with his right foot into the lower left corner.

Fortunately, Van der Sar reacted quickly enough and dived sideways, pushing the ball out of the baseline.

But this was enough to make everyone in Manchester United break out in a cold sweat.

Who would have thought that these two Bayswater Chinese wingers could actually cut inside and shoot.

If Gareth Bale is on the right and Walcott is on the left, that's normal.

But the problem is that one of them is on the left and the other on the right, and both use their weak feet.

This is a little scary.

Ferguson had no other choice but to walk to the sidelines and signal the team to retreat.

You have to defend it!
The Chinese players in Bayswater were too powerful and their attack was too fierce. If they didn't seize the time to stabilize their position, who knows how many goals they would have scored.

As a result of Manchester United's defense, they gave up all the ball possession and initiative in the game.

The Bayswater Chinese took over the game smoothly and controlled the tempo more easily.

Although Ferguson replaced Giggs and Scholes in the 70th minute, hoping to turn the tables and reverse the unfavorable situation on the field.

But Manchester United's morale had been greatly reduced, especially in the midfield, where they had completely lost control.

This resulted in Manchester United, under the overall pressure of the Chinese at Bayswater, although they created several threatening attacks, they were unable to create an absolute shooting opportunity.

Neuer stood steadily in front of the goal and did not give Manchester United players any chance to counterattack.

Entering the 80th minute, the Manchester United players showed somewhat lackluster performance, which made everyone basically conclude that the Red Devils were doomed.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Manchester United 2-0 at home with Maicon's assist and goal.

With a total score of 3 to 1, the Chinese from Bayswater got the ticket to Rome!
