I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 303: The dominance of the Premier League champion! Marching towards the third consecutive championship! Scoring goals at the Bernabéu! [Subscribe]

After the result of this peak showdown at the Etihad Stadium came out, the media and fans around the world were immediately shocked!

Even before the game, no matter how confident the media people were in Bayswater Chinese, or even the most die-hard fans, they could not have imagined that there would be such an astonishing score in the two-round match.

6 is better than 0!

This completely tears off all of Manchester City’s face!

Sky Sports even published a post-match commentary as soon as possible.

Guardiola football is dead!

In this review, Sky Sports lists various statistics from the two rounds of matches.

The most typical one is ball possession rate.

In the second leg, Manchester City still had a high possession rate of 69.5%, while Bayswater Chinese only had 30.5%.

With such a huge difference in ball possession, Manchester City was bombarded with 4 goals by their opponents at home.

This was unbelievable to everyone!
"Guardiola's passing and controlling football philosophy has ushered in the biggest crisis in his coaching career!"

Can this passing and controlling philosophy work in the Premier League?
Such concerns actually caused great controversy as early as when Guardiola was rumored to coach Manchester City.

And this controversy has accompanied the entire season.

In order to maximize the protection of Guardiola's coaching, Manchester City even spent 2.5 million euros in liquidated damages to sign Messi to protect the new Manchester City.

But the result?

The Premier League is indeed leading, and the advantage is not small.

But what about the Champions League?
In the quarter-finals against Bayswater Chinese, we conceded 8 goals in two rounds.

Sky Sports believes that "this defeat is the failure of Guardiola's on-the-spot command, and also the failure of Manchester City's Barcelona-style transformation in the past year!"

The Champions League broadcaster commented that although Guardiola's football has never been able to win the Champions League in the past few years, due to its success in La Liga and Spanish football, it has become the object of study for coaches all over the world.

Countless head coaches are studying how to restrain Guardiola's Barcelona!
"Yang Cheng is the best among the Basak Stars."

Sky Sports believes that compared with Guardiola's stubbornness and unchanging nature, Yang Cheng's characteristics are flexibility and versatility.

When Guardiola's style of passing and controlling football came to the Premier League, which was considered a technological desert by everyone, there was an obvious incompatibility between the two, which was what everyone had been worried about in the past.

"The extreme advocacy of La Masia's dense short pass penetration, ignoring the overall style of the Premier League and the conditions of Manchester City's current players, has made Guardiola's football unsuitable in the Premier League."

The most obvious one is the defenders.

At Barcelona, ​​Guardiola brought out central defenders like Pique and Puyol who have excellent footwork skills.

But what about in the Premier League?
Defenders such as Kompany, Chiellini and Jerome Boateng cannot be said to have crude skills, but they are certainly not as good as Puyol and Pique.

He is tall and strong, but a little slow in turning. These problems made him seriously unsuitable for the passing and controlling system that emphasizes small, fast and agile players.

"In addition, Guardiola's Manchester City is also unique in the Premier League this season!"

In the past few years, no matter which team it is, the Premier League has always been known for its wingers.

The Chinese team at Bayswater, which has won five consecutive Premier League titles, has also produced many outstanding wingers.

But what about Guardiola's Manchester City?
Messi is more active in the middle and flanks.

Jovetic?

No, Manchester City's main left winger is David Silva.

But the Spaniard is also good at passing and assisting. Breaking through the wing and scoring are not his forte.

"In the Premier League where wingers are king, it is incredible that Guardiola's team does not have outstanding wingers."

Sky Sports said that Guardiola's adherence to his football philosophy is certainly admirable.

But as a head coach, he still needs to make more changes.

"On this point, he should learn from Yang Cheng!"

"Yang Cheng's team's main feature is flexibility and diversity."

"Whether in London or Manchester, the foundation of Yang Cheng's team is abundant physical strength, careful tactics, unity, quick counter-attacks and sharp counterattacks."

"These are actually the traditional characteristics of English football."

"On this basis, Yang Cheng has injected more passing and cutting coordination, which can not only play high and high, but also pass and penetrate with short passes. The main feature is a flexible and changeable style of play, which is very three-dimensional and makes it difficult for opponents to defend!"

Sky Sports believes that the Chinese talents at Bayswater are the current role models for English football!

……

As if he had foreseen the flood of criticism and accusations from the outside world, Guardiola took the initiative to assume all responsibility for the loss at the post-match press conference.

"The Champions League is the highest level of competition in Europe and we made some mistakes so we were punished."

"I am very disappointed with the big loss. I will try my best to cheer the players up. We want to win the league championship!"

But Guardiola said there was nothing wrong with his ball possession philosophy.

"We performed very well in the Premier League and dominated the Premier League by passing and controlling the ball, so I don't think the reason for the loss was ball possession!"

Technical director Begiristain also expressed his support for the head coach's statement.

"We are facing a stronger and more experienced team, the best in Europe."

"It's disappointing for us to be eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but we are leading the Premier League and I think that proves that we are going in the right direction."

"Next, we need to further strengthen and improve the team's strength!"

In addition to Begiristain, many Manchester City players also came forward and accepted interviews from media reporters, actively defending Guardiola. They all strongly support Guardiola.

Also at the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng said in an interview with media reporters, "Maybe many people will focus on the second round, but I want to say that our most crucial game is in the first round!"

As for the specific reason, Yang Cheng did not elaborate.

"In the second leg, we were all calm when we stepped into the Etihad Stadium."

"As I said after the first leg, the two legs are over."

"Of course, I didn't expect that we could get such a big score in the second round."

Regarding Guardiola, Yang Cheng said that he has a good relationship with Guardiola.

"I don't think he's had any difficulty, they're still top of the Premier League table."

"In the past six years, they are the only team that has been ahead of us at the end of the season."

"All Manchester City fans should be proud of this!"

After Yang Cheng said this, all the media reporters didn't know how to react.

So majestic and domineering!

This is the momentum of the five-time Premier League champion!

Gareth Bale, who scored twice in two consecutive rounds and was elected the best player of the game after the game, said in an interview with media reporters, "The head coach deserves great credit. He taught us how to win!"

Regarding the two-legged match, Gareth Bale believes, "After the first leg, we knew we could win!"

As for this season's Champions League, the Welsh winger made no secret of it.

"We will fight for the championship, and we will definitely win it!"

……

As a famous "football expert" in the world of football, Jonathan Wilson, the author of Inverted Pyramid, analyzed this game in his column.

He believes that the philosophy of passing and controlling football has been thoroughly studied by Yang Cheng!

"Looking at the two rounds of the game, Guardiola's football has almost no secrets in front of Yang Cheng!"

Jonathan Wilson supported Yang Cheng's statement after the game, believing that the real showdown between the two sides would be in the first round.

After winning 2-0 at home in the first leg and not conceding any away goals to Manchester City, Bayswater Chinese had basically secured victory.

"All the media will tell you that after the 0-2 away defeat in the first leg, the probability of losing the qualification to the next round is high, but they all overlook one point, that is the mentality of the players!"

"Do you remember what Yang Cheng said at the press conference after the first round?"

"The game has ended early."

"This is not a random attack, this is a psychological warfare!"

"In fact, looking at the game at the Etihad Stadium and the mentality of the Manchester City players, it is obvious that they were completely controlled by Yang Cheng."

"In this situation, any of Guardiola's tactics will hardly work as well as they should on the field."

"With victory in hand and full of confidence, Bayswater Chinese can play any way they want."

"That's the gap!"

"The gap between Guardiola and the world's top coaches!"

"He was completely played around by Yang Cheng!"

Although Jonathan Wilson is an expert in football, he did not analyze the game from a technical and tactical perspective this time.

But from an emotional perspective.

Because he believes that there is actually nothing much to say about the tactics of these two rounds of games.

Yang Cheng took the initiative to give up possession of the ball and did not compete with Manchester City.

"Because Bayswater Chinese were at a low point at the time, having lost to Liverpool and almost lost the league title, the morale within the team was hit."

"On the other hand, Manchester City's morale is high at this time."

"Yang Cheng chose a game strategy that he was most confident in and that was most suitable for the actual situation of the Chinese in Bayswater."

Jonathan Johnson said that both sides adopted game strategies that everyone was familiar with, but the difference in mentality, especially the difference in mentality in the second round due to the result of the first round, caused this one-sided massacre.

"Many people say that Guardiola brought his artistic football to the Premier League and dominated the Premier League."

"But don't forget, in the Premier League this season, Manchester City's record against Bayswater Chinese is 1 draw and 1 loss."

"In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Manchester City was defeated by Yang Cheng's team both home and away, with a humiliating aggregate score of 8-0."

“Even if Manchester City eventually won the Premier League title, they were completely defeated by the Bayswater Chinese!”

Jonathan Wilson believes that Guardiola's Manchester City's ability to win the league title relies more on their stable performance in the league and the team's strong lineup.

But in the crucial match between two strong teams, Manchester City was completely defeated by the Chinese team from Bayswater.

"In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Yang Cheng and his team once again proved with their actual performance that they are the strongest team in world football right now!"

……

All major media outlets and famous columnists have also launched attacks.

The Manchester Evening News stated that Guardiola was trying to copy Barcelona in the Premier League.

"But after a year's break, Guardiola's football has not evolved. He still has a lot of possession and passes, but lacks depth, shots and not many scoring opportunities."

"Manchester City under his coaching is very similar to the Barcelona team that was humiliated by a large score last season!"

The Times also commented after the game, "Yang Cheng humiliated Guardiola!"

The article commented that the total score of 0-6 was a huge humiliation for Guardiola.

"Last season, when Vilanova's Barcelona lost by a large margin to the Bayswater Chinese, Barcelona fans missed Guardiola very much. They believed that if Guardiola was still there, Barcelona would not have suffered such a humiliation."

"But now, Guardiola's Manchester City has shown everyone with practical actions, and the same is true if Guardiola himself takes the field!"

The Sun commented that Manchester City once again ended its Champions League dream.

"The 0-6 score forced Blue Moon to face up to the gap between itself and Bayswater Chinese."

The Daily Telegraph commented, "Bayswater Chinese slaughtered Manchester City and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals."

"Yang Cheng and his players are heading for their third consecutive Champions League title!"

The Daily Mail said, "The two-round match is a disaster for Guardiola and Manchester City."

In Europe, other countries are more neutral about the civil war in the Premier League.

But everyone was shocked that the Chinese in Bayswater defeated Manchester City in two rounds, with the aggregate score of 0-6.

Spain's Marca newspaper believes that Guardiola has encountered unprecedented challenges in the Premier League. "He has encountered the strongest Bayswater Chinese in history!"

"Guardiola suffered a historic defeat and bid farewell to the Champions League stage!"

The Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo also believed that "Manchester City, with Messi, had no chance in the game and did not even enter the opponent's penalty area many times."

"It turns out that after leaving Barcelona, ​​both Messi and Guardiola suffered humiliating defeats!"

In the other three Champions League quarter-final knockout matches between Arsenal and Manchester United, Ferguson's Red Devils tied the Gunners 3-8 away in the first leg, and then returned home and defeated their opponents 1-1.

Manchester United advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3-1.

Ferguson's team performed very tenaciously, especially in the first leg away game, where they almost relied on strict defense to grab a draw.

At the critical moment, Robben's comeback helped Cavani score the equalizer.

This was also a crucial away goal.

It was thanks to this away goal that Manchester United's defensive counterattack became more resolute in the second leg after returning to their home court.

Real Madrid drew 3-0 with Paris Saint-Germain away from home after beating them 1-1 in the first leg.

Ancelotti's team advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 4-1.

马竞则是在客场1比1，主场1比0击败了拜仁慕尼黑，总比分2比1晋级半决赛。

According to the results of the previous Champions League quarter-final draw, after entering the semi-finals, Bayswater Chinese faced Real Madrid.

Manchester United met Atletico Madrid.

……

After the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Yang Cheng challenged Arsenal "away" at Wembley Stadium.

Due to the impact of the Champions League knockout stage, both teams made major rotations.

But the Gunners' substitute lineup is obviously stronger than that of the Bayswater Chinese.

But even so, both sides still persisted until the 63rd minute.

In the 63rd minute, the Chinese player of Bayswater, Walcott, took advantage of a breakthrough on the right side and made a back pass to assist Aaron Ramsey to score against the Gunners.

But Wenger's team took advantage of a corner kick in the 82nd minute and Mertesacker scored to equalize the score.

After that, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

After 90 minutes of regular game, the score is still 1-1!

The FA Cup semi-finals are different from the previous knockout matches. If the game is tied, there will be no second leg.

So, the two sides entered the overtime, but neither side was able to score again.

After 120 minutes of the game, the two sides were tied 1-1.

The game went into a penalty shootout.

The two sides completed five penalty shootouts, with Bayswater Chinese missing two.

Wenger's team hit the target in all five rounds.

In the end, Wenger's team successfully advanced to the FA Cup final.

Yang Cheng was not disappointed with the result.

As he said in an interview with media reporters after the game, "This will be a very valuable asset for our group of young players!"

"They had a brutal penalty shootout!"

Goalkeeper Robert Green failed to save the penalty, and Yang Cheng also gave an excuse.

The outside media also generally believed that it was actually very rare for the Bayswater Chinese to challenge Arsenal with such a young lineup and only lose in a brutal penalty shootout.

Interestingly, in another match, Manchester City also won and advanced to the semi-finals.

In the end, the two teams that had just been eliminated from the Champions League met in the FA Cup final.

By the way, Manchester City is also the League Cup champion this season!
……

In the middle of the week, the 34th round of the Premier League will be rescheduled.

Bayswater Chinese will face Stoke City away.

Mark Hughes' team has spent the past 10 days preparing for this game.

He expressed confidence that his team has a chance to beat their opponents at home.

And the facts have proved that they did perform quite well.

It wasn't until the 32nd minute that Gareth Bale scored against Stoke City.

But in the 40th minute, Peter Crouch equalized for Stoke City.

Before the end of the first half, midfielder Ireland scored for Stoke City to reverse the score.

But after the second half, Bayswater Chinese equalized the score again with a goal from Modric in the 51st minute against Stoke City.

In the 71st minute, Walcott, who came on as a substitute, assisted Gareth Bale to score another goal.

The Welshman scored twice to reverse the score.

In the 87th minute, Walcott scored the fourth goal.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Stoke City 4-2 away.

In this round, Chelsea beat Swansea 1-0 away.

Arsenal defeated West Ham United 3-1 after conceding a goal at home.

Manchester United beat Hull City 3-1 at home.

In the focus match of this round, Liverpool did as Yang Cheng expected. After 10 days of preparation, the Reds defeated Manchester City 3-1 at home.

Suarez, Skrtel and Coutinho each scored a goal for Liverpool, while David Silva scored a goal for Manchester City.

After 34 rounds of games, Manchester City topped the Premier League with 89 points.

Bayswater Chinese are ranked second in the Premier League with 87 points.

Because Manchester City was sniped by Liverpool, the gap between the two teams narrowed again.

Liverpool ranks third in the Premier League with 85 points.

Arsenal ranked 77th in the Premier League with 4 points.

Manchester United is in fourth place with 72 points.

Chelsea is in 69th place with 6 points.

So far, the competitive situation in the entire Premier League has been quite clear.

With only four rounds left in the league, Guardiola's Manchester City only have two fronts left: the Premier League and the FA Cup.

Winning the championship should be a high probability event.

Bayswater Chinese are trailing by 2 points.

But Yang Cheng's team will soon face the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Liverpool has performed very well this season, but it is still very difficult to reverse the two teams ahead.

Especially if Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City make mistakes at the same time, the possibility is very small.

……

This weekend, the 35th round of the Premier League.

This round kicks off with Bayswater Chinese playing against Swansea at home at noon.

Just 23 minutes into the game, Modric assisted Gareth Bale to score against Swansea.

In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Marcelo assisted again and Walcott scored another goal.

After the second half, the Chinese team in Bayswater replaced Gareth Bale and Modric in succession when the overall situation was already decided, in order to save strength for the Champions League next Wednesday.

Finally, in the 92nd minute, Walcott scored the third goal of the game.

The little tiger scored twice, helping the team beat Swansea 3-0 at home.

Now all the pressure of the game is on Manchester City.

However, what’s interesting is that Manchester City was not crushed, but Manchester United and Chelsea fell first.

The Blues were defeated 1-2 by Sunderland at home after Eto'o scored the first goal.

Yes, Mourinho's team capsized at home.

Manchester United lost 0-1 to Everton away from home.

Ferguson played this game mainly to save his strength for the Champions League on Wednesday, but unexpectedly, Everton stole the ball before the end of the first half.

Later, no matter how Manchester United attacked, it was of no avail.

Arsenal beat Hull City 3-0 away, with Benzema scoring twice.

Liverpool beat Norwich 3-2 away.

Manchester City scored two goals within 10 minutes of the start and eventually defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-1 at home.

……

On the evening of March 4, Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese challenged Real Madrid away.

Both sides in this battle faced a shortage of personnel.

Due to the winter transfer, Real Madrid sold Khedira and brought in Javi Martinez who could not play in the Champions League.

Therefore, in this match at the Bernabeu, Ancelotti arranged Illarramendi and Xabi Alonso to start. The two of them partnered as double defensive midfielders, with Ronaldo, Isco and Di Maria in front.

Dzeko is the center forward.

In the back line, Coentrao, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal.

The goalkeeper is Casillas.

The captain of the Spanish national team returned to the starting position after Ancelotti took office.

But it is obvious that Casillas' condition is not as good as before.

This is also a common problem for all short goalkeepers.

When you reach a certain age, your physical functions decline, which is bound to affect your overall performance.

And Casillas is about to turn 33.

The Chinese in Bayswater also face this problem.

Casemiro, who was signed from Real Madrid, was unable to participate in the Champions League, so Yang Cheng chose Matic to start.

Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Piszczek;

Midfield: Matic drops back, with Toni Kroos and Modric in front;

Forwards: Hazard, Giroud and Gareth Bale.

Yang Cheng once considered letting Van Dijk mark Dzeko.

The Dutch central defender will obviously be better off partnering with Pepe against the center forward Dzeko.

Moreover, Thiago Silva was injured in the middle of this season, and after resting for 6 weeks, his condition has been affected to some extent.

But after careful consideration, Yang Cheng still chose the combination of Thiago Silva and Pepe.

After all, it is the Champions League semi-final, and it is played away.

As soon as the game started, the Chinese players from Bayswater took the lead and took the initiative.

This was also the strategy Yang Cheng had planned before the game.

When playing away from home, of course we have to try to score away goals!
If we get an away goal and establish an advantage, the game will be easier.

More importantly, Yang Cheng is clearly aware of Real Madrid's shortcomings.

The biggest problem of the Galacticos is that after the two wingers press forward to attack, once the ball is lost in the frontcourt, the full-backs can easily fall into an isolated and helpless situation, especially on Ronaldo's side, who basically do not return to defense.

There will be pressure on Coentrao's side.

On the right, Carvajal is different from Arbeloa and Ramos, he focuses on offense.

Even if Di Maria wanted to defend, he was a winger after all. Once he attacked, how could he care about the back?
Therefore, Yang Cheng’s offensive strategy for this game is to attack both wings resolutely.

In the past, the double defensive midfielder formed by Khedira and Xabi Alonso was also struggling in defense and pale in comparison.

But now, with Illarramendi partnering with Xabi Alonso, the situation is even worse.

This Spanish midfielder, who performed very well in Real Sociedad, has not been able to find his form after coming to Real Madrid.

Especially confidence!
It can be seen that Illarramendi’s biggest problem is that he lacks confidence.

Therefore, attacking the two wings is the first step, and the real killer move is in the middle!
For example, in the 5th minute of the game, the Chinese team of Bayswater launched a quick counterattack on the right side of the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Gareth Bale cut in from the right and made a horizontal pass.

Toni Kroos made a long shot from behind, which caused Casillas to miss the save.

Fortunately, Giroud did not follow up in time, otherwise there would be a chance.

But this shot also boosted the morale of the Chinese in Bayswater.

The visiting team then continued to attack.

Yang Cheng wanted to use his best attacking skill to defeat Real Madrid in one fell swoop.

The Galaxy Battleship chose to defend steadily or even retreat.

Ancelotti’s game strategy is actually the same as Yang Cheng’s previous game against Manchester City.

First make sure you don’t lose the ball at home.

As long as we don't lose the ball at home, it will be easy to play away.

This resulted in an almost one-sided situation in the first 10 minutes of the game.

The Chinese in Bayswater had a possession rate of up to 90% and completely dominated the game.

But although three shots were taken, none of them posed a real threat.

Just when everyone thought that the Chinese attack in Bayswater was coming to an end, the Chinese in Bayswater finally seized an opportunity.

In the 12th minute, Marcelo made a forward move to participate in the attack in the frontcourt, passed the ball to Hazard outside the left corner of the penalty area, and quickly went down the bottom.

This made Carvajal think that Marcelo was going to cooperate with Hazard, so he defended Marcelo.

At this moment, Giroud retreated to the top of the arc to receive the ball, while Gareth Bale moved forward to the right side of the penalty spot.

Cross-positioning like this is the specialty of the Chinese in Bayswater.

At this moment, Hazard did not look for Marcelo, but suddenly cut inside after stopping the ball.

Real Madrid's defensive players had obviously anticipated this and responded immediately.

After attracting Varane out, Hazard immediately passed the ball back to the empty space on the left side outside the penalty area.

After Giroud ran out from the top of the arc to receive the ball, he suddenly stopped, dribbled and turned around, avoiding Illarramendi, and sent a straight pass with his left foot to the top of the arc.

That was the position where Giroud just ran out to receive the ball.

We saw that Gareth Bale, who was just in the penalty area, on the right side of the penalty spot, had retreated to the center of the arc top area, with his back to the direction of attack, blocking Ramos behind him.

Facing Giroud's through pass, Gareth Bale stopped the ball to the left side of the arc top area with the inside of his left foot, then suddenly turned around and took a step back.

Almost at the same time, Varane also realized the danger, and immediately put Hazard aside and quickly rushed towards Gareth Bale, wanting to block Gareth Bale at the same time with Ramos and block the shooting angle.

The three of them were at the intersection of the left side of the arc top area and the penalty area line. Gareth Bale didn't wait for the two Real Madrid defenders to successfully surround him. He took the lead and shot with a powerful left foot.

The football was like a cannonball, it drew an arc at an extremely fast speed and headed towards the left side of the Real Madrid goal.

Casillas dived sideways to try to save the ball.

As a result, it was too late.

Gareth Bale's left-foot shot went straight to the left side of the goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 13th minute of the first half, the Bayswater Chinese scored the first goal!"

"At the edge of the penalty area, Gareth Bale stopped the ball, turned around, and shot with his left foot, breaking through the goal guarded by Casillas."

"Let's take a look at this slow-motion replay again."

"If Casillas was a few centimetres taller and had longer arms, maybe he would have saved the ball."

"Although Gareth Bale is not a center forward, his ability to receive the ball with his back to the basket and to stop and turn around are indeed quite impressive."

"Obviously, he did do some special training as a center."

"The whole process of stopping the ball, turning around, and then shooting was very skillful."

"Two Real Madrid players couldn't stop him!"

"Since the start of the game, Bayswater Chinese have had 87% of the ball possession!"

"The fourth shot finally broke through Real Madrid's goal!"

"Real Madrid, who are playing at home, have not even managed a single shot on goal so far."

……

"Gareth Bale is so strong now!"

In the home team coaching booth at the Bernabeu Stadium, after seeing Gareth Bale turn and shoot to score, assistant coach Demichelis, who was sitting next to Ancelotti, shook his head and sighed.

Ancelotti and others nodded.

Just looking at the way he stopped the ball, turned around and then shot, it was definitely the technique of a center forward.

But it happened to Gareth Bale.

One important reason why Ronaldo cannot play in the middle is that he lacks the skills and ability to play as a center forward.

But what about Gareth Bale?
He can play on the left, the middle, or the right!
And they all played very well!
"The most important thing is that Yang Cheng's training and protection of him is really in place and he has invested a lot of effort in it," Ancelotti said calmly.

Yang Cheng trained Gareth Bale with even more care and attention than Ferguson trained Cristiano Ronaldo.

The reason is simple. Ronaldo is stronger and better than Gareth Bale in terms of both talent and physique.

But Yang Cheng has managed to train Gareth Bale to his current level and performance, which is enough to compete with Ronaldo.

For this reason alone, Yang Cheng deserves recognition.

Moreover, as a winger known for his explosive power, Gareth Bale has rarely suffered from injuries. Is this tolerable?

Ancelotti had heard when he was coaching in the Premier League that Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater were paying close attention to Gareth Bale's situation almost all the time.

The sports science department even specifically studied Bale's physical fitness and muscle condition to tailor a training plan for him.

It is said that the department's consultants include two expert professors from Oxford University who specialize in the study of the human body and muscles.

Looking at the current European football scene, which club can do this?

Whether it's Real Madrid treating Ronaldo, or Barcelona or Manchester City treating Messi, none of them can provide such meticulous care.

Gareth Bale naturally reciprocated the favor. After Lewandowski transferred to Barcelona this season, he took on the team's offensive responsibility and performed excellently.

"More importantly, the Chinese in Bayswater are not afraid at all that Gareth Bale will be poached," Demichelis said jokingly.

Everyone around smiled.

This is indeed true.

Because Gareth Bale is notoriously introverted and nostalgic.

There were previous rumors that Manchester City wanted to sign him, but Gareth Bale refused without even thinking about it.

The reason is that it is closer to Cardiff from London.

This is of course an excuse.

But according to British media reports, Gareth Bale grew up in a circle of acquaintances.

Although he has been famous for many years, his parents still live in the old house where he was born.

After his sister got married, she also moved to live near his hometown.

His girlfriend is his childhood sweetheart from his hometown.

His uncles, aunts and other relatives and friends all live in the same circle.

The Sun also revealed an interesting story before.

Gareth Bale bought a house in the western suburbs of London, and the washing machine at home broke down not long ago.

The results of it?
He didn't wash it at the club, nor did he go out to find a laundry shop, nor did he wave a check to buy a new washing machine.

This guy drove 250 kilometers and spent three hours to get back to his hometown in Cardiff, asked his mother to wash the clothes, and then brought them back to London.

So, many people say that Gareth Bale will hardly be poached.

Looking at all the big clubs in the Premier League and Europe, none is closer to Cardiff than Bayswater Chinese Club in west London.

Ancelotti doesn't envy the Chinese in Bayswater at all.

Because he also has two super wingers.

C Ronaldo and Di Maria!

After seeing Gareth Bale rush off the pitch to celebrate his goal, the Italian quickly walked to the sidelines and gestured to his players to press forward.

Since we lost the ball first, the game strategy has to change.

We can't continue to defend and counterattack!

……

After the restart, Real Madrid changed their strategy of defensive counterattack at the beginning of the game and took the initiative to attack.

But the Chinese in Bayswater did not stop there.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng’s strategy is still to strive for more away goals.

This is the mentality of almost all teams playing away in the Champions League knockout stages.

After all, the advantage of away goals is too obvious!

As a result, the two teams quickly launched a fast-paced offensive battle.

The playing field is also becoming more and more open.

In the 19th minute, Marcelo made a cross from the left, Giroud headed the ball to the back point, and Gareth Bale volleyed from 9 meters in front of the goal.

As a result, the ball was blocked by Ramos.

The ball hit Ramos and bounced out of the penalty area, and was immediately grabbed by Xabi Alonso.

The Spanish midfielder turned and sent a diagonal pass, launching a quick counterattack.

Di Maria received the ball near the right side of the center circle.

As soon as the Argentine received the ball, he was immediately approached by Matic.

Di Maria is very clear about the strength of this Serbian midfielder.

But the Argentine reacted quickly and did not turn around to attack, but instead moved back diagonally to the right.

When Carvajal sprinted forward at the fastest speed, Di Maria passed the ball in front of Carvajal.

Real Madrid's right back dribbled the ball all the way forward, exploiting the defensive loopholes after Marcelo's forward attack.

Although the Brazilian chased back desperately, Carvajal was still one step faster.

Carvajal dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area and made a horizontal pass to the left side of the small penalty area.

Then I saw Ronaldo run in at high speed and push the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

1 is better than 1!

The entire Bernabeu Stadium instantly erupted in thunderous cheers.

Ronaldo excitedly turned and rushed out of the court, performing his signature celebration move on the sidelines.

The fans in the stadium were shouting his name crazily.

……

With the help of Ronaldo's goal, Real Madrid immediately launched a wave of offensive.

Having conceded an away goal to the visiting team, the Galacticos had to beat their opponent at home no matter what.

Ancelotti's team wants to make a concerted effort to reverse the score.

When Real Madrid, playing at home, launches an all-out attack, their momentum is quite intimidating.

What's more, the Chinese in Bayswater had just experienced a wave of opening attacks.

As a result, Yang Cheng's team quickly fell into a disadvantage on the field.

Just one minute after the goal, Di Maria made a diagonal pass from the right and Ronaldo headed the ball into the goal from close range.

Courtois calmly caught the ball in his arms.

In the 23rd minute, Di Maria again instigated the attack. Dzeko suddenly fired a long shot with his left foot, which was firmly caught by Courtois.

But the Chinese in Bayswater soon responded.

In the 25th minute, in a quick counterattack, Gareth Bale cut in behind Coentrao, received Modric's straight pass, and knocked it across the middle.

As a result, Giroud's shot from near the penalty spot went directly high.

Yang Cheng clapped his hands while watching from the sidelines.

Because of this goal, Giroud will definitely be scolded after the game!

He assisted the first goal, he was the one who headed the ball, but he was also the one who shot the ball!

This is Giroud!
The Bayswater Chinese quickly responded.

Hazard dribbled the ball on the left and created a corner kick opportunity when cooperating with Marcelo.

Modric took a corner kick from the left side, and Pepe headed the ball from close range, but the angle was too straight and was saved by Casillas.

The two sides engaged in a back-and-forth offensive battle, which made the sidelines become very interesting.

The tempo of the game was accelerated.

Whether it is Real Madrid or the Chinese in Bayswater, they are actually quite adaptable to this rhythm.

Only Isco is relatively uncomfortable.

After 30 minutes, the Bayswater Chinese, who had recovered, gradually pressed forward and began to counterattack.

Especially in the midfield and frontcourt, they began to put more pressure on Real Madrid.

The key point is the double defensive midfielder.

But no one expected that the course of the game would be so dramatic.

In the 34th minute, Giroud retreated to press Xabi Alonso, forcing the opponent to pass the ball to Ramos.

This was a sign that the front-court press was ineffective.

So, the Chinese players in Bayswater began to retreat back to their own half.

Ramos took a few steps forward, and when he was out of his own 30-meter area, he made a diagonal pass, trying to pass it to Illarramendi near the penalty spot in the center circle.

The latter is right in the gap.

But at the moment Ramos passed the ball, Toni Kroos suddenly rushed towards Illarramendi.

This immediately alerted Xabi Alonso, and he quickly warned his partner.

Illarramendi had his back to the direction of attack and had no idea how close Toni Kroos was to him.

Facing Ramos' mid-range diagonal pass, he did not dare to let the ball stay at his feet, but wanted to pass it directly back to Varane.

But this kick was not only fast, but also very powerful.

Illarramendi was caught off guard and tried to pass the ball back, but his kick lacked strength.

Hazard suddenly came out from the side, stole the ball from the middle, and quickly launched a counterattack with the ball.

Giroud in the center circle also left Xabi Alonso behind and sprinted forward quickly.

Hazard dribbled the ball forward along the middle, constantly approaching Varane.

Giroud went around Hazard and rushed quickly to the left side of the penalty area.

When the Belgian winger dribbled the ball all the way to the top of the arc in front of Real Madrid's penalty area, there were five defensive players around him.

Varane and Ramos are blocking in front, Xabi Alonso is chasing beside him, and Illarramendi and Coentrao are defending behind him.

All of Real Madrid's defensive players were concentrated in the middle.

But Hazard is skilled and bold, and is not afraid at all.

After rushing into the top of the arc, the Belgian made a feint and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Giroud rushed over, received the ball with the inside of his left foot, adjusted himself, and shot again with his left foot.

At the critical moment, Casillas left the goal and went to the left side of the small penalty area. He then dived sideways and blocked Giroud's shot at the far corner.

But Giroud's shot was too powerful.

Although Casillas saved the ball, the football somehow slipped between Xabi Alonso and Ramos.

Neither of the two defenders had time to clear the ball.

At this moment, a red figure came like lightning at an extremely fast speed, and shot directly with his right foot towards the ball that Casillas saved.

The football was like a cannonball and instantly went into Real Madrid's goal.

At this moment, everyone was completely stunned!

"Gareth Bale scored!!!"

"Two goals!!"

"In the 34nd minute, Bayswater Chinese scored another goal!"

"Gareth Bale scored again!"

"Oh my god, look at the slow motion replay of this goal."

"At the moment Hazard intercepted the ball, Gareth Bale was still on the right side of his own half, preparing to return to defense."

"But when Giroud's follow-up shot caused Casillas to lose the ball, he had already sprinted to the front of Real Madrid's small penalty area."

"What an amazing speed!"

"He ran 60 meters in a very short time!"

"Gareth Bale brilliantly demonstrated what it means to come from behind and win!"

"2 to 1!"

"Bayswater Chinese have taken the lead again!"
