I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 190: Completely defeat Chelsea! I feel Ferguson's happiness! [Subscribe]

On the afternoon of June 12th.

King's Cross Station is one of the busiest tube stations in London.

A total of 5 subway lines converge here.

There are also many universities in the surrounding area, such as Central Saint Martins and University of London, as well as the headquarters and offices of international companies such as Apple, Google, Facebook, and Huawei.

Although it is a prosperous international metropolis, King's Cross Station often seems particularly deserted during public holidays.

Especially on major holidays like Christmas.

But after noon, King's Cross and neighboring Euston began to welcome people.

And there are more and more of them.

Police also began to appear near the two subway stations to maintain order.

At the subway station, there was a long queue for the westbound subway, and many of the passengers were still wearing red jerseys.

This made everyone feel more intimate when they met each other.

Because they are all fans of Bayswater Chinese.

Martin Bannon, who was dressed in Bayswater Chinese "gear", was one of them.

"Are all these people going to Wembley Stadium?"

The person asking the questions was William Smith, a good friend standing behind Martin Bannon.

"Yes, the farm game should start soon." Martin Bannon said with a smile.

It was obvious from his tone that he was quite proud of the Chinese in Bayswater.

The farm he was referring to is Fulham in west London, which has returned to the Premier League this season.

On the 26th, London played three games.

Fulham will play against Tottenham Hotspur at home at 12:45 noon.

At 13 o'clock, West Ham United will play Portsmouth at home, but this game is in east London.

Arsenal's home game against Aston Villa is scheduled for tomorrow at noon on the 27th.

Obviously, at this point in time, the fans heading west are basically going to Wembley Stadium.

Because there will be a focus match there today, Bayswater Chinese will face Chelsea at home!
West London Derby!
This is undoubtedly the most anticipated focus battle of the entire Christmas holiday.

"I've only been in the United States for a few years. Are the Chinese in Bayswater so attractive now?" William Smith was surprised.

After graduation, he worked in London, just like Martin Bannon.

But a few years ago he was arranged by the company to go to the United States.

Before he left, the Chinese in Bayswater were not very famous.

"This is all normal."

"Oh?"

"Before every home game, many fans heading to Wembley gather at London's subway stations. After the games, there are also huge crowds of people. Police are needed to maintain order and smooth the flow of people."

After a pause, Martin Bannon smiled and said, "Before, the Westminster Police Department specifically contacted the Chinese in Bayswater and asked them to pay money."

"They say they describe this as the Great Migration."

"The Great Migration?" William Smith felt it was a bit exaggerated.

"So far this season, the average attendance has been 8.9, half of which are from the inner city of London."

"real or fake?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

After a pause, Martin Bannon put his arm around his friend's shoulder, laughed, and asked, "Guess how much the ticket cost for the game I invited you to watch today?"

William Smith thought for a moment, "100 pounds?"

He tried to estimate it as high as possible.

It's Boxing Day, so it's normal for prices to increase.

But Martin Bannon shook his head.

"Two hundred pounds?"

Martin Bannon held out his hand and raised five fingers. "500 pounds."

"500 pounds?" William Smith was so surprised that he lost his voice. "Are you crazy?"

"I can't help it. I have season tickets, but I can't buy individual tickets. I can only find scalpers at a high price."

"Oh my god, this is too outrageous!"

William Smith looked at his best friend with a little apology, because he had on a whim said he would accompany him to watch a football game, which ended up costing him 500 pounds.

"It's okay. When we get to Wembley Stadium later, you can treat me to something good."

"No problem! How's the stuff there?"

"It's delicious. Didn't you see many fans on the Internet saying that they bought season tickets for Bayswater Chinese just because they wanted the delicious food there? Haha..."

"Okay, I'll treat you later...By the way, Martin, you are the project manager now, right?"

"It's been promoted, so I'm willing to spend 500 pounds to invite you to watch the game."

"I heard that your company is considering moving offices?"

"Yes, iPhone 3GS has been out for half a year and its sales have already exceeded the total sales of its predecessor. The company is also constantly expanding its staff. As you know, our UK headquarters in London is divided into six different offices, which is very inconvenient."

"It is true that such dispersed offices are too troublesome, but it is also the norm. There are not so many large office buildings in the core area of ​​London. Look at Google, which also has offices in multiple locations."

"Our company is looking for an office building to bring several departments and more than a thousand employees together in one place. We will definitely continue to recruit more people in the future. We are seriously short of staff now."

"Have you chosen?"

"No, I heard that Bayswater is also an option."

“That office building next to the new stadium? Isn’t it a little too small?”

"We don't have that many people at our UK headquarters, but I just heard that they were in contact. I don't know the details. Did Norman Foster help to contact them?"

"Norman Foster?"

"Yes, many of our Apple stores were designed by him, and the new stadium in Bayswater was also designed by him."

"No wonder you have always had a soft spot for Norman Foster."

"They said they had signed contracts with three companies, with a total of four buildings. They said they wanted to keep one for their own use, but I don't know how they contacted them."

"That place is very expensive. I heard that the hotels they signed with are all hotels of Bulgari's level."

"As our boss at the UK headquarters said, we just want to live next door to Bulgari. In the future, when people from the US headquarters come to London on business, they can stay directly at the Bulgari Hotel, which will greatly improve the reception standards."

"Haha, this is good. We can have it."

The two chatted all the way and took the subway heading west, arriving at Wembley Central Station.

When they arrived at the site, they all noticed that there were more people.

There are two subway stations, one south and one north of Wembley Stadium, and both are crowded with people at this moment.

The two young men were caught in the crowd and continued to flow towards Wembley Stadium.

The closer we got to the stadium, the more crowded the crowd became.

"Wow, there are so many Chinese fans in Bayswater now?" William Smith was surprised.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and if the fans were not wearing the red jerseys of Bayswater Chinese, he would have suspected that they were Chelsea fans.

"Isn't it agreed that our British fans are very loyal?" William Smith felt amused.

Where is the loyalty you promised?

Why can this youngest team in London attract so many fans?
"That's because you haven't heard the other way around."

"What statement?"

"A man will always like two teams in his life, one from the community, and the other...haha..."

"Besides, the fans in London have always been very enthusiastic."

Martin Bannon's words made William Smith, who was also from London, burst out laughing.

Over the years, the media has always liked to hype who is the most popular team in London.

There are actually many more hypes like this.

For example, it has always been said that in Manchester, Manchester City is the most popular team among local fans, and Manchester United is not one of them at all, but just does a better job in internationalization.

But the amazing thing is that Manchester United’s home stadium capacity and attendance are far greater than Manchester City’s.

There is also Everton in Liverpool, which has always said that the number of local fans exceeds that of Liverpool.

It’s even more magical in London.

For example, where exactly are the Chelsea and Tottenham fans?
It has always been said that Tottenham fans are in the West End and Chelsea fans are in the suburbs.

This in itself is strange.

Before Arsenal built the Emirates Stadium, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge was the largest club stadium in London, with a capacity of 4.1.

In comparison, the stadium capacities of Arsenal and Tottenham are just over 3.

Not to mention expansion, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium also underwent several expansions before it increased to more than 4.

The most fascinating thing is that when Arsenal decided to build a new stadium, the capacity was directly increased to 6, which was more than 3 more than the original Highbury Stadium's 8.

So many people said at that time that Arsenal would not be able to fill the new stadium after moving into it.

A lot of reasons were given, and they were all very sufficient.

But the result?

The Emirates Stadium is now packed with fans.

Moreover, the Gunners' ticket prices are not cheap among London teams, and they also come bundled with tickets for the Champions League group stage, making their season ticket prices the highest in the world.

Even so, tickets are still hard to come by.

So, among London fans, everyone jokes with each other that the number of fans in London is a mystery.

If anyone says that every district is a fan of a certain team, that's nonsense.

"You know, my whole family are Tottenham fans and I used to go to see Tottenham games all the time, but now I basically only watch Bayswater Chinese."

Martin Bannon said this, pointing to the huge crowd at the scene.

"I believe there are many young fans like me who may have liked West Ham United, Charlton Athletic, Fulham, or even Arsenal and Chelsea before, but now they all like Bayswater Chinese."

"Martin, after hearing what you said, I'm starting to like this team a little bit."

"is it?"

"Of course, who made my favorite Adele like this team too?"

After saying that, William Smith took Martin Bannon's hand and quickly got into the crowd.

"Hurry up, today is the annual Adele concert, hurry up and get in and find your seat."

……

Since her debut album became a huge success, Adele has become a singer famous all over the world.

First, in February 2009, it won the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

She was also nominated for the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

In the past two years, she has won countless awards.

But she has always kept a habit: whenever she is free, she will appear at Bayswater Chinese's home games.

She has a private room here all year round, which she uses for herself and also to entertain her family and guests.

And every year at the first home game after Christmas, she would perform for the Chinese in Bayswater.

She is expressing her gratitude to Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater in her own way.

Today's game is no exception.

The West London Derby attracted the attention of media and fans around the world.

The atmosphere at Wembley Stadium was pushed to a climax by Adele's ethereal voice that penetrated the soul.

When the players from both teams entered the field, everyone was already excited.

The Boxing Day match attracted 9 fans.

It's the West London derby again, and media and fans around the world are vying to pay attention.

This made both participating teams take it very seriously and they both sent out their main players.

Chelsea, playing away from home, lined up in a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Cech;
Defence: Ashley Cole, Terry, Alex and Ivanovic;

Midfield: Mikel is in the back, Sneijder and Lampard are in the middle;

Forwards: Malouda, Drogba and Eto'o.

This is Chelsea's best and strongest starting lineup this season.

Especially this defensive line.

After Carvalho gradually lost his main position, Alex became Terry's best partner.

On the bench, there are also famous players such as Ballack and Zhirkov.

Hiddink's team is really strong!
Bayswater Chinese, playing at home, also performed well.

Goalkeeper: Neuer;

Defense: Marcelo, Kompany, Pepe and Piszczek;

Midfield: Matic drops back, Aaron Ramsey and Modric in the middle;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Di Maria.

This is also the strongest lineup that Yang Cheng can currently arrange.

Midfielder Rakitic was injured and absent, and Yang Cheng was playing at home, so he did not choose Matuidi, but instead arranged Aaron Ramsey, who had better attacking power and passing ability, to partner with Modric.

The Welshman's running ability is also amazing.

Central defender Thiago Silva was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, so Yang Cheng replaced him with Kompany.

As each Bayswater Chinese player walked off the field, their name was loudly called out over the live broadcast.

They appeared one by one, and each one was greeted with thunderous cheers from the fans in the stands.

Especially Gareth Bale.

He has become the most popular player among Bayswater Chinese fans.

In fact, he can be called the team's star player!
"Gareth Bale!!"

In the stands of Wembley Stadium, when all the fans around him were shouting Gareth Bale's name, William Smith also stood up excitedly.

"I've seen his video online. It's so shocking and powerful. It's been spread everywhere!"

"He is very popular in the United States."

"And the guy called Walcott, why didn't he play?"

The crowd was noisy and everyone was screaming. Even Martin Bannon, who was sitting next to him, had to lean over to his ear and yell, "It's normal. They have been taking turns with Di Maria."

"Di Maria? Is he very strong?"

"Of course he is strong. Many teams are interested in him, but we won't sell him!" Martin Bannon laughed.

"Gareth Bale is so strong, and he is a local youth training and his own youth training, why is he not the captain?" William Smith asked curiously again.

"Although Modric is Croatian, he is also a local youth player. He has been playing football for Bayswater Chinese since he was a child. He has fought his way up from the lower leagues with the team. He is very strong, but he is too low-key."

"He looks thin, I still like Gareth Bale, strong and powerful!" William Smith shouted.

After he finished speaking, whether he was influenced by the atmosphere around him or was excited to see his favorite star, he stood up and shouted loudly to the stadium, "Gareth Bale, come on!"

"Kill Chelsea!"

At this moment, inside Wembley Stadium, 9 fans are like William Smith.

……

With the whistle of referee Peter Walton, the world-renowned West London derby officially kicked off.

As soon as the game started, after Chelsea kicked off, the Chinese in Bayswater immediately rushed forward on all fronts.

The three lines pressed forward collectively.

This caused thunderous cheers from the home team fans to be heard throughout Wembley Stadium.

It also made the opening of the game look aggressive!

The ball soon fell to the feet of the Bayswater Chinese.

He continued to pass and cut and quickly moved to the left.

Marcelo made a high-speed run forward and when he got the ball on the flank, he made a diagonal pass back to the left side of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale took the ball and tried to break through Ivanovic's cross.

The ball was blocked by the Serbian player and went out of bounds.

Corner kick!

"Just 1 minute and 11 seconds into the game, Bayswater Chinese got a corner kick opportunity."

"Ivanovic's defense is still very solid."

"Look at this corner kick."

"Modric took the penalty and it landed in the box."

"Matic in the middle heads the ball!"

"It's a little high."

"The Bayswater Chinese's set-piece tactics are still very threatening."

But the Chinese attacks in Bayswater soon returned.

This time it was on the right side.

When Di Maria received the ball on the right rib, he passed it to Piszczek who was advancing along the right sideline.

The latter quickly dribbled the ball along the right sideline and passed it back to Di Maria.

The Argentine's speed has increased and he dribbled the ball directly into Chelsea's penalty area.

But the first time he caught the ball and dribbled it, it was a little too big and was blocked by Terry who arrived in time.

The ball still rolled towards the middle.

Lewandowski ran over, without stopping the ball, and turned and shot.

The ball slipped slightly out of the goal.

There was another cry of surprise throughout Wembley Stadium.

This shot was quite threatening and was aimed at the lower left corner.

If the ball was slightly more towards the goal, by the distance of two posts, the ball would be in!

"But that's how football works. If there's even a tiny deviation in the way you shoot or where you touch the ball, the ball will go a lot off target."

"Lewandowski's ability to seize opportunities is still very strong."

Chelsea has been in a passive situation since the opening.

But the pace of the game did not slow down at all.

This is also Yang Cheng’s strategy for this game.

Hiddink's Chelsea is similar to Mourinho's era, both are known for solid defense and sharp counterattacks.

Especially after the addition of two powerful players, Sneijder and Eto'o, Chelsea's midfield has the ability to pass the ball, the frontcourt has speed, and the counterattack is quite threatening.

But their most troublesome problem is actually defense.

The Blues' defense has been passed down from Ranieri to Mourinho to today's Hiddink.

It can even be said to be injected into the bone marrow.

In this situation, Bayswater Chinese have to rely on fast-paced offense and defense, try to pull Chelsea's defense through offense and defense transitions and passing and cutting penetration, and strive to create goals.

It was not until the 6th minute that Sneijder took the ball from the left midfield and made a diagonal pass.

Eto'o made a quick diagonal run, received the ball and suddenly fired a long shot from outside the arc.

This was Chelsea's first shot of the game.

But it posed no threat.

Chelsea's shot not only failed to arouse the fear of the Chinese in Bayswater, but instead angered their opponents.

This is Wembley Stadium!
One minute later, Gareth Bale received a through ball from Marcelo on the left.

Facing the double team of Lampard and Ivanovic, the Welshman stopped the ball flexibly, turned around, and then did a Marseille turn. After passing Lampard, he suddenly accelerated and kicked the ball away from Ivanovic. But when the Welshman was about to start, Ivanovic decisively fouled.

This immediately caused strong dissatisfaction among the fans in the stadium.

That was Gareth Bale's signature move just now, and he was about to go off the court. Why did you break the rules?

Soon, the Chinese in Bayswater took a quick free kick.

Aaron Ramsey cooperated with Marcelo and then passed the ball to Gareth Bale outside the left corner of the penalty area.

After Wales got the ball on the left, he dribbled past Ivanovic, faced with Mikel who was running over to double-team him, made a beautiful deep-fried ball, rushed to the left side of the penalty area with the ball, and made a cross.

The ball fell into the middle of the penalty area.

Lewandowski quickly moves forward.

Just as the Polish center forward was about to head the ball, a strong figure rushed out from the direction of Chelsea's goal, stretched out his hands high, and snatched the ball from Lewandowski's head before he could.

The two landed almost at the same time.

The Czech goalkeeper held the ball tightly against his chest with both hands, shouted at his teammates loudly, and then kicked the ball forward with a big foot.

Drogba and Pepe in the frontcourt were competing in physical confrontation.

Drogba was indeed very fierce in his days, but now he is almost 32 years old and is no longer as brave as he used to be.

Pepe, on the other hand, is only 26 years old, which is the golden period of his physical condition and career.

When the two men jumped at the same time to compete for the header, Drogba did not gain any advantage over Pepe, but was instead taken advantage of by Pepe.

There was a burst of warm applause for Pepe at the scene.

After the Portuguese center back headed the ball back, he retreated behind Drogba, looking very casual as if he was leaving without saying goodbye.

Pepe's teammates in the frontcourt did not waste this beautiful header.

The attack ended with Aaron Ramsey's long shot from the edge of the penalty area, forcing Cech to make a save.

It’s a pity that we still couldn’t score.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Bayswater Chinese had an overwhelming advantage.

Chelsea even found it difficult to seize opportunities to counterattack.

Their second counterattack came in the 13th minute.

Ashley Cole dribbled forward on the left and passed the ball to Malouda.

The French winger then passed the ball to Drogba.

The Ivorian leaned his body against Pepe, received the ball with his back to the direction of attack, and then passed it sideways.

Eto'o quickly dribbled the ball from the ribs into the penalty area of ​​the Bayswater Chinese team. On the right side of the penalty spot, the cheetah was a step slower due to Kompany's physical confrontation.

Neuer decisively left the goal and rushed out of the small penalty area, grabbing the ball in his arms before Eto'o.

The Cameroon cheetah had to jump up to avoid hurting Neuer.

Despite the counterattack, the attack of the Chinese in Bayswater was still very sharp.

Especially Gareth Bale on the left.

This made Chelsea's entire right side tremble with fear, as if facing a formidable enemy.

In the 23rd minute, the Chinese team of Bayswater, who had been launching continuous attacks, got the ball in the backcourt with Pepe.

When Pepe received the pass from his teammate, he had actually crossed the center line and stood on the right side of the center circle.

Drogba rushed towards him at the first moment, and Pepe immediately turned sideways to stop the ball and move to the right.

At this moment, Chelsea were pressing in their own half.

Modric retreated from the front and wanted to run over to receive the ball, but Sneijder stuck to him closely.

Drogba also blocked Pepe's chance of passing to Matic or Kompany.

Fortunately, this Brazilian with Portuguese nationality has good footwork and excellent passing ability, and he directly sent a mid-range diagonal pass.

The ball stuck to the grass and went near the right sideline.

Piszczek was running back from the front.

Although Malouda was chasing behind him, Piszczek was a winger and had good footwork. When the ball came, he made an emergency stop, stopped the ball with the outside of his right foot, turned around and moved towards the ribs.

Modric made the first forward run.

When Piszczek dribbled the ball into Chelsea's 30-meter area, he immediately made a straight pass to Di Maria's feet.

The Argentine stopped the ball with his left foot, stretched out his hand to separate Ashley Cole, and tried to pass an overhead pass with his left foot.

As a result, the ball was not at the right height and was headed right by Terry.

The ball bounced out of the penalty area and fell to the right side of the arc top area.

Modric rushed over at this time, met the falling ball and directly volleyed it into the air.

With this cushion, the ball quickly passed over Mikel who was rushing over, as well as Chelsea's defense line near the penalty area line, and fell into the penalty area behind them.

Lewandowski moved forward between Terry and Alex, waited sideways for Modric's pass to land near the penalty spot, turned around and shot directly.

Cech had just reached halfway when he suddenly flew out sideways.

But Lewandowski's volley was faster and more urgent, and the ball went into Chelsea's goal from the right at an extremely fast speed.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 23rd minute of the first half, the Chinese from Bayswater took the lead in breaking Chelsea's goal!"

"A great volley from Lewandowski!"

“This goal came at the right time!”

"The Chinese in Bayswater have already made nine shots since the start of the game, and now we are finally seeing the results!"

“It’s the same passing and cutting combination that we are familiar with, and it’s very imaginative.”

"Especially Modric's sudden pass."

"Lewandowski's movement was also very sharp. When he was running after Di Maria, he felt that he might be offside, so he retreated immediately."

"If he hadn't pulled back in time, he would have been offside now."

“So clever!”

"This attack by the Chinese in Bayswater was very beautiful!"

The cheers of Bayswater Chinese fans could be heard throughout Wembley Stadium!

When 9 people shouted together, the sound seemed to shake the sky down!
……

Yang Cheng was standing on the sidelines. The moment Lewandowski scored a goal, he clapped and laughed, cheering for his players.

Against a team like Chelsea, scoring first is very, very important!

The Blues are good at defending.

But the Bayswater Chinese are very good at attacking.

So the key is to see who can suppress the opponent.

After scoring the goal, Yang Cheng immediately signaled to Matic and Modric to slow down the attack and let Chelsea press forward.

The passing and cutting style of the Chinese players in Bayswater is quite energy-consuming.

Therefore, Yang Cheng's rotation intensity has always been very strong.

If you can save some energy, then save as much as possible.

What's more, after retreating, Chelsea pressed forward and it would be easier for the Chinese at Bayswater to attack.

what?
What if Chelsea doesn’t press forward?
This is impossible!

Yang Cheng was very sure that Hiddink would lose his patience.

Because they are now ranked 5th in the league.

But more importantly, there is the African Cup in January 2010!
Many people may not realize how big an impact the African Cup has on Chelsea.

Drogba, Eto'o and Mikel, these three players are the starting lineup of this game, and they will all participate in the African Cup.

There are also Essien and Kalou.

Among them, Essien is also a rotating main player, while Kalou is a substitute.

But they suddenly lost 5 players, including 4 main players. It goes without saying how difficult it would be for Chelsea to play during the African Cup.

It is already ranked 5th, and if you are not careful, the ranking may continue to drop.

In this situation, Hiddink now has to fight for every point!

Yang Cheng even thought that Hiddink did not choose Essien, who had better defensive ability, probably because he wanted to fight to the death with Bayswater Chinese and try to grab points away from home.

Of course, other Premier League teams are not much better.

Arsenal have Alexandre Song, Emmanuel Eboue and Kolo Toure.

Manchester City has Adebayor and Yaya Toure.

Manchester United and Liverpool have always valued and promoted local players, not African players.

Bayswater Chinese originally had a Yaya Toure, but he has now been sold to Manchester City, so there is no more.

Therefore, during the entire African Cup, Yang Cheng could experience the kind of happiness that Ferguson talked about back then!
……

After the Chinese at Bayswater took the lead and slowed down their attack slightly, Chelsea still behaved cautiously.

The home team took turns launching attacks.

And they are basically on the two sides.

Facing the opponent's strict defense, Di Maria was also very active on the right.

In the 29th minute, Di Maria received a straight pass from Piszczek on the right, and made a very clever pass through the crotch of Ashley Cole, and he wanted to bypass Ashley Cole.

As a result, the Englishman simply grabbed him and knocked him down by the waist, not allowing him to rush forward at all.

All this happened right under the nose of the linesman.

The referee blew the whistle and gave a yellow card warning.

"The two flanks of the Bayswater Chinese were stretched wide, making it easy for Chelsea's defense, especially the two full-backs, to fight alone."

"The Blues are also very troubled by this."

"They are defending the middle and need more manpower. If they spread out their formation, Modric and Aaron Ramsey in the middle will start to exert their strength again, which will be very fatal to Chelsea's defense."

“The Chinese in Bayswater are really strong now!”

"Yang Cheng's tactical style is becoming more and more mature, and the players' cooperation is becoming more and more sophisticated."

The Chinese at Bayswater continued to launch attacks, while Chelsea defended tightly.

The game was temporarily deadlocked.

But Yang Cheng’s guess was not wrong at all.

When the game reached the 37th minute, Chelsea began to try to press forward and attack.

First, Sneijder threatened the goal of the Chinese team in Bayswater with a long shot.

Then Drogba headed the ball into the goal after receiving Malouda's cross from the left.

The ball went high.

Chelsea was certainly unwilling to see the game end with a 0-1 score, so they wanted to use the time before the end of the first half to launch an attack.

But in the 41st minute, the Chinese from Bayswater intercepted the ball in the midfield.

After Aaron Ramsey intercepted the ball from Lampard, Matic made a long pass to Gareth Bale in the frontcourt.

The Welshman was once again alone with Ivanovic on the left.

Gareth Bale stopped the ball and slowly approached Ivanovic.

When the Serbians were a little unsure of Bale's thoughts, the Welshman suddenly dribbled the ball diagonally to the left sideline.

He accelerated slightly and immediately rushed to the same position as Ivanovich.

Ivanovic habitually stuck close to him, trying to use his body to push Gareth Bale out.

If it doesn't work, let him lose balance, lose control of the ball, and then take him out of bounds by yourself.

But what Ivanovic never expected was that he thought so, and Gareth Bale also thought so.

The Welshman held Ivanovic with his right shoulder, and under the pressure from the opponent, he dribbled the ball forward with his left foot, accelerated again, and instantly got rid of Ivanovic.

Looking at Gareth Bale disappearing into the distance, Ivanovic was filled with shock.

This kid has great physical strength!
Gareth Bale had no lingering feelings for Ivanovic's wet left shoulder. After breaking free, he dribbled the ball all the way to the left side outside the penalty area, where he met Alex who was rushing over to intercept him.

The Welshman accelerated again and made a cross near the baseline.

The ball fell to the front of the small penalty area right in front of the goal.

Lewandowski quickly moved forward, blocked Terry with his body, and then shot the falling ball directly.

When it comes to such a close-range shot, Lewandowski is almost certain to win.

But he never expected that he would meet Cech!
The Czech goalkeeper performed exceptionally well, and even under almost impossible circumstances, he got down to the ground and blocked the ball with one hand.

Lewandowski's reaction was also very quick. He rushed over again and shot again.

After Cech landed, he immediately jumped up again and stretched out his hands to block the shot.

Two consecutive shots with such force and power that Cech's hands became numb.

But Ashley Cole arrived in time and kicked the ball away.

At this moment, the entire Wembley Stadium was filled with fans' exclamations.

At the same time, there were also voices of regret.

Such a shot failed to break Chelsea's goal.

It's amazing!

The live TV camera even captured Yang Cheng slapping his forehead hard on the sidelines, with an indescribable look of frustration on his face, and he was muttering to himself.

Fortunately, everyone thought he was speaking English.

But in fact, Yang Cheng was cursing over there.

"I saved your head, and you treat me like this?"

But the continuous offensive of the Bayswater Chinese, especially the fierce offensive throughout the first half, made all the fans at the scene scream with excitement.

The pace is fast and the style of play is full of impact.

This kind of exhilarating pleasure, coupled with skillful and smooth passing and cutting, is something that no other team in European football can provide.

Barcelona's passing and control is indeed the best in the world, and Arsenal's passing and cutting are not inferior to the Chinese in Bayswater.

But neither of these two teams can play with the shocking impact of Bayswater Chinese!

Especially when they got the chance and launched wave after wave of attacks, not to mention the fans who were there at the scene, even the fans in front of the TV were excited.

Every time I get to the exciting part, I even get goosebumps!
However, Bayswater Chinese's attack does not rely entirely on the left wing.

In the 44th minute, the home team suddenly launched a quick counterattack from the right.

After Di Maria rushed into the 30-meter area with the ball, he suddenly passed the ball to Piszczek on the right and ran to the ribs.

Piszczek made a 45-degree pass to the penalty area from the right, trying to find Lewandowski.

The connection between the two Polish internationals allowed Lewandowski to block Alex with his body on the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area and head the ball down to the right side of the penalty area front.

Di Maria rushed over, took the ball with his left foot, and then passed it to Modric who had already rushed to the top of the arc, hoping to let the Croatian advance into the penalty area.

Modric stopped Di Maria's pass in the penalty area, but Mikel followed him into the penalty area.

At the same time, there is Terry who comes to assist in defense in time.

The Croatian reacted quickly, stopped and turned around, used his body to block Mikel and Terry, protected the ball in time, and passed it back to the top of the arc.

Di Maria ran sideways, stopped the ball with his left foot and headed towards the left side of the top of the arc, then accelerated to catch up, using inertia to support himself with his right foot, and turned and shot with his left foot.

The ball passed by Terry and Mikel at an extremely fast speed and went straight to the left side of the goal.

Cech's position was always on the right side. When the ball came to Modric's feet, his vision was blocked by Terry, Mikel and Modric.

When Di Maria created an opportunity to pass the ball sideways, he reacted and quickly dived to the side.

The Czech goalkeeper's reaction was quite quick, but he was still a little slow when facing Di Maria's shot.

The ball hit the left post and went into the net.

2 is better than 0!

"The ball goes in again!!!"

"In the 44th minute, Di Maria scored again!"

"The Chinese from Bayswater once again broke through Chelsea's goal in the last minute of the first half!"

"We saw that this was a quick counterattack after a steal!"

“This can be said to be the specialty of the Chinese in Bayswater!”

"This time it was not from the left, but from the right, and Di Maria cut in with his left foot and volleyed the ball."

"Chelsea's defense was tight, but we have to say that after conceding the first goal, the Blues were too passive on the field, and Bayswater Chinese took the initiative in the game very well."

"2 to 0!"

"The current situation is very unfavorable for Chelsea!"

"I hope Hiddink can come up with more effective offensive means during the half-time break. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Chelsea to escape from Wembley Stadium unscathed in this West London derby!"

"Throughout the first half, we saw the sharp attack of the Bayswater Chinese."

"Especially the two side lanes!"

……

When Bayswater Chinese walked off the field with a 2-0 lead and enjoying the cheers of 9 fans, every player seemed to be walking on auspicious clouds, feeling unusually light.

Yang Cheng was very satisfied with the situation in the first half.

But he still didn't dare to be careless.

When he returned to the locker room, he did not hesitate to praise the players.

He believes that the performance of Bayswater Chinese in the entire first half could be rated 9 points.

"I'll keep the remaining point for now. The game isn't over yet, and I'm afraid you guys will get too proud!"

All the players laughed when they heard it.

The atmosphere in the locker room seemed particularly relaxed.

Yang Cheng also analyzed and improved some problems that occurred in the first half with the players.

He believes that Chelsea will definitely find a way to score a goal in the second half.

They have no choice!
If they lose this game, their league title race will be greatly affected.

Even the hope of winning the championship may be dashed in January.

This is definitely not what Chelsea wants to see.

Hiddink is a famous coach. He knows very well that with the fierce competition in the Premier League today, if the Blues do not recruit new players during the winter break, the situation will be even worse.

Five players went to play in the African Cup, including two top scorers Drogba and Eto'o.

Yang Cheng’s countermeasure is also very simple. As long as Chelsea dares to press forward, the Chinese in Bayswater will give them a head-on blow.

Especially the two side lanes.

"Gareth, Angel, Marcelo and Lukash, I believe in your strength!"

"Especially Gareth and Angel!"

"With your abilities, passing Ivanovic and Ashley Cole is as easy as crossing the road in the morning!"

"As long as you want, you can come anytime and anywhere!"

Yang Cheng rarely gives players such encouragement.

This is mainly because he saw that the two players were in excellent form in this game.

The team also needs them to continue this state in the second half.

If they can really suppress Ivanovic and Ashley Cole in a one-on-one situation and make both of Chelsea's flanks tremble, can Chelsea still press forward?
Does Hiddink still dare to show up and attack?
This is called attack instead of defense!

"Everybody, today is Boxing Day!"

"The 9 fans we welcome at Wembley Stadium are not just our fans, but also your loved ones, families, friends, and many people who are inextricably linked to you."

"I believe that you are the same as me. We all hope to give the most precious Christmas gift to your relatives, friends and our fans on this important holiday today!"

"So, in the second half, go out on the pitch and completely crush Chelsea!"
