I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 321 King of the Finals! Three consecutive World Club Cup titles! Tell me, do you want to be the president of FIFA? [Subscribe
December 12, the 6th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese played at home and encountered a defensive Burnley team.

The two sides fought hard throughout the first half, but the score was still 0-0.

The competition was also very intense.

But in the 51st minute of the second half, Gareth Bale scored against Burnley with an assist from Harry Kane.

In the 74th minute, Piszczek assisted Harry Kane to score the second goal.

As Harry Kane has gradually established himself in the first team's starting lineup this season, his progress has been obvious, with more and more goals and better performances.

If we say that he was more famous for his assists last season, many people would think that he was a center with low goal efficiency.

Now, with the improvement of physical confrontation, he has completely transformed into a more comprehensive and versatile scorer.

But unfortunately, Giroud lost his starting position in the league because of this.

The French center forward can only play in the Champions League.

So far, young player Solanke has also performed well in the domestic League Cup.

Especially after joining the first team, this 17-year-old young player has shown the courage of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

This gives Giroud a headache.

Why is the competition becoming more and more fierce?
After scoring another goal in this round, Harry Kane has scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season.

It's only been 15 games and his goal tally has already tied that of last season.

Everyone expects Harry Kane to score more goals and perform better in the next games.

After all, he was the player written into the team song by Yang Cheng.

I have been loved by the Chinese fans of Bayswater since I was a child!

The most important thing is that he is really competitive!

……

After the 15th round of the Premier League, the last round of the Champions League group stage was ushered in in the middle of the week.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Juventus away.

Before this game, the situation in this group was actually quite tense.

Bayswater Chinese won five games in a row and took first place in the group with 15 points.

Juventus currently has 7 points.

Leverkusen also got 7 points after suffering a crushing defeat to Bayswater Chinese in the last round away game.

According to the rules of the group stage, if the points are the same, the results of the two teams' head-to-head matches will be considered.

Leverkusen has 1 win and 1 draw against Juventus, so Leverkusen ranks second in the group.

Athletic Bilbao is now at the bottom of the group with 3 points.

So in the last round of the group stage, Juventus and Leverkusen competed for the last chance to qualify.

If the Zebras want to qualify, they must not only defeat Bayswater Chinese, but also hope that Leverkusen cannot beat Athletic Bilbao at home.

If we say that Yang Cheng had already "let the game go" against Leverkusen in the last round, then he still let the game go against Juventus in this round, and it was even worse.

Yang Cheng used all substitutes and a young lineup.

His meaning was very clear, it didn't matter if he lost.

Whether Leverkusen can qualify depends on the Bayer Leverkusen itself and has nothing to do with the Chinese in Bayswater.

Juventus, playing at home, sent out all their main players and performed very actively.

But what surprised Yang Cheng was that the England defense line he fielded this time, including Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, John Stones, Kyle Walker and Robert Green, actually performed well.

I don’t know whether Juventus’ offense is weak or the defense is in good shape tonight.

In any case, Juventus' attacks were unsuccessful time and time again.

Of course, the midfield combination of Aaron Ramsey, Casemiro and De Bruyne did perform well.

Juventus really doesn't have any good solution.

It wasn't until 25 minutes later that the Zebras began to lose momentum.

Because in that game at the BayArena in Germany, Leverkusen scored a goal.

Then it happened over and over again.

It is not known whether Juventus was afraid of the threat from the trident of Sterling, Giroud and Walcott in the frontcourt, or for other reasons, but their attack was always not decisive.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made substitutions one after another.

Young players Patrick Roberts and Solanke also came on the field one after another.

This was Solanke's first appearance for the team in the Champions League, and the player he replaced was Giroud.

Yang Cheng felt a little guilty and comforted Giroud.

There is no way, we are now a top giant and the competition is so fierce!
Although Solanke is young, he is very fierce.

Born in Bayswater Chinese youth training, he has excellent footwork and physical confrontation skills. He dribbles the ball quite fast and once he starts dribbling, he is just like an unreasonable calf!
The British media all praised him, saying that he looked very much like Rooney when he debuted.

But if Yang Cheng himself were to say, Solanke's footwork is much better than Rooney's, and he is also taller, a definite center forward.

The key point is, although he is tall, his African ancestry gives him strong athletic ability and he can run very fast!
After coming on as a substitute, he immediately turned Juventus' defense upside down.

Brian Kidd, who was a striker by profession, was full of praise for Solanke.

Frick also felt that this kid was really good.

They are still local players and their own youth training.

And Patrick Roberts, who is just a little slower.

If he were a little faster, he would be another Sterling.

In the end, on the German side, Leverkusen defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-2.

Juventus drew 0-0 with Bayswater Chinese.

What made Yang Cheng feel a little funny was that Ma Hangqie was actually selected as the best player of the game.

I wonder what Yang Cheng’s Manchester United fans from his previous life would think if they saw this.

After all the Champions League group stage matches were played, all four Premier League teams entered the round of 4.

This was also something everyone expected.

What made Yang Cheng happy was that due to their good luck in the previous draw, Atalanta actually won the qualification to advance as the first in the group this time.

After last season's running-in, Gasperini's team has indeed performed very vigorously this season.

The most important thing is that Luca Toni continued his excellent form from last season and performed quite well.

Substitute center Milik also played well.

Of course, although they are first in the group, their record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss is also the weakest among the 8 groups.

Nice continued its stable performance and advanced as the second in the group.

But this was enough to satisfy Yang Cheng.

……

December 12, the 13th round of the Premier League.

Chelsea beat Hull City 1-0 at home.

In the 60th minute of Hull City's game, former Bayswater Chinese player Huddlestone was sent off with a red card.

Diego Costa scored the winning goal in the 68th minute.

Manchester City defeated Leicester City 1-0 away from home thanks to Messi's goal.

Arsenal beat Newcastle 4-1 at home with Benzema and Cazorla both scoring twice.

Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-0 at home with goals from Rooney, Juan Mata and Cavani.

Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese beat Everton 3-1 away from home with goals from Gareth Bale, Harry Kane and Toni Kroos.

Everyone can see that he didn't have much chance before, but now that he has entered the top three, Toni Kroos may have the idea of ​​making a breakthrough, so his form has been quite good in recent times.

……

After the 16th round of the Premier League, other teams were preparing for the League Cup quarter-finals in the middle of the week, but the Chinese in Bayswater set off from London without stopping to Morocco to participate in the Club World Cup.

At the same time, far away in Brazil, South America, the 2014 Brazilian League officially came to an end.

Originally, most people thought that with only four rounds left in the Brazilian Serie A, Palmeiras' acquisition by Yang Cheng would inevitably lead to turmoil in the team and the results would be even more dismal.

Relegation is a foregone conclusion!

Even the 2-0 victory over Recife at the opening ceremony of Allianz Park did not change the outside world's impression.

But there is a saying that goes: There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.

The day after defeating Recife, Palmeiras held a membership vote and the results were announced overnight.

The next morning, Palmeiras confirmed the result and the Brazilian Football Association announced that it accepted the result.

Although many fans gathered to protest that day, the two parties still successfully signed the acquisition agreement at noon.

Xia Qing signed the agreement in Brazil on behalf of Yang Cheng.

That afternoon, the team's accounts began to be sorted out, starting with the salaries and bonuses of players, employees and staff.

That evening, everyone's salary and bonus were paid.

As the Brazilian media put it, "It only took Palmeiras' new team 12 hours to show everyone the difference!"

The Folha de São Paulo, Brazil's largest and most influential newspaper, was allowed to arrange reporters to follow the entire process.

This is also a kind of crisis public relations to some extent.

They used very detailed reports to explain to all readers what exactly happened during those 12 hours.

What is of most concern is how the new team of Palmeiras managed to sort out the accounts and pay out salaries and bonuses within 12 hours?
The answer is simple, salary payment is put first among all things.

"After taking over Palmeiras, Xia Qing, the chief financial officer of Bayswater Chinese, used her utmost efforts to promote financial rectification, and she put salaries and bonuses as the top priority."

"What impressed the reporter most was what she said: from this moment on, at Palmeiras, there will be no arrears of salaries and bonuses for players, employees and staff!"

“It is simply impossible to ask the new team to sort out the mess and confusion of the past few years within 12 hours.”

"But the new Palmeiras team, based on the principle of mutual trust, started with salaries and bonuses, putting the interests of all players and employees first."

"The new team said that sorting out the salary and bonus accounts is only the first step, and it will be further implemented in the future, adopting a strategy of refunding more and supplementing less. If players and employees have any objections to their salaries, they can reconcile with the new team."

"This is the efficiency and courage of the world's top giants!"

The Folha de São Paulo newspaper said that while Brazilian clubs were trying to find ways to withhold players' salaries and bonuses, Palmeiras' new team was a breath of fresh air for everyone.

"They value players and talents, and they really put this into practice!"

This is also the club image and values ​​that the new Palmeiras team wants to portray to the outside world!

The São Paulo newspaper revealed that although there was inevitable chaos in the team after taking over, this did not affect the confidence and morale brought by the new team at all.

The most direct manifestation is that the team won three consecutive victories in the next three games.

After 38 rounds of the league, Palmeiras ranked 48th in the Brazilian League with 12 points.

On the contrary, Botafogo was relegated in 19th place.

This team, which had just been acquired, could be described as having been reborn in the last four rounds of games.

The team's successful relegation also allowed the new team to fire the first shot after acquiring Palmeiras.

At the very least, all signs have made Palmeiras fans feel a breath of fresh air.

This has never happened before.

The voices of protest are gradually weakening, and the wait-and-see mood is becoming stronger and stronger.

But like other Brazilian clubs, many remnants of the past still affect Palmeiras.

For example, after every season, many players will transfer freely.

Because their contract was only for one year.

For example, main midfielder Wesley, main center back Thiago Alves, and main left back Gurley.

The main right-back Luis Felipe also announced early that he would join Benfica for 200 million euros during the winter break.

Since Benfica had not paid at the time, the money fell into the hands of the new team.

Another thing is that the club's first-team lineup is very chaotic.

How outrageous is that?
The number of players in the first team actually exceeded fifty.

Looking around at other Brazilian teams, the first-team lineups are surprisingly similar.

The reason for this situation is that in addition to the Brazilian Serie A, teams in Sao Paulo also have to play in the state league.

For example, the state of Sao Paulo adopts a single round-robin system, and a team has to play 12 games.

If you want to win the championship, you have to play 16 games.

There are also South American club competitions such as the Copa Libertadores and Club Cup, as well as Brazilian domestic cup competitions.

All these statistics add up to at least fifty games a year.

In addition, Brazilian clubs do not provide enough protection for their players, including paying little attention to injuries.

Players here are like consumables. They can be used when they can be used, and thrown away when they cannot.

Anyway, many players only sign one-year contracts, and some don’t even have a contract, so there is no need to worry about the cost when replacing them.

Therefore, each team's lineup is very bloated.

A first-line team of fifty people is the norm, and there are even more exaggerated ones.

It seems that after the end of this season, 9 players' contracts expired and they left on free transfers.

The players are also very accustomed to this situation.

For many Brazilian players, signing a short contract is the only guarantee.

Why?

Because it is normal for the club to delay payments of salaries and bonuses.

What should players do if they sign a long-term contract but are owed salary and bonuses by the club?
Instead, I signed short contracts, some of which were only half a year long. If the club delayed paying my salary, I would leave immediately.

It can be said that this is the characteristic of Brazilian football!

Therefore, even some players who seem to be good have to change teams every half a year or a year.

There is even a saying in Brazil that whoever can pay salaries on time will win the championship.

The Bayswater Chinese team is now starting to clean up the mess at Palmeiras.

Because this is not in Yang Cheng's interest.

Going further, this is actually the role that the Brazilian Football Association and even the Brazilian government hoped to achieve by introducing Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater.

In the past few years, the Chinese in Bayswater have also established a scouting network in Brazil and have a certain understanding of the Brazilian football market. Now after taking over Palmeiras, their understanding is even deeper.

According to the advice given by the technical team, the first-team still needs to control the number of players.

Soldiers are more valuable than their elite.

Provide sufficient protection and guarantees to attract high-level players to join, and protect the rights and interests of both parties through relatively long contracts.

On the surface, it seems that the players' salaries have increased, but after the first-team roster was reduced, the overall salary expenditure is not much different from before.

Moreover, after the lineup is streamlined, the players on the team will be able to get more opportunities for game training.

As long as we arrange the players' playing time reasonably and scientifically and improve the team's medical care level, I believe there will be no problem in coping with multiple competitions.

In 55 games, Bayswater Chinese could handle 23 of them.

Even kicked more.

In Brazil, 30 people are not enough?

Besides, as a head coach, who can take care of so many first-team players?
After using them again and again, aren’t they still the same twenty or thirty?

When it comes to the head coach, the new team faced a difficult problem.

Since Scolari was sacked in 2012, Palmeiras has changed four head coaches in two years.

It can be said that the changes are very frequent and the team is in turmoil.

But now, who will take over this team?

This is obviously also the top priority next!
……

When the team arrived in Marrakech, Morocco, a piece of news began to spread in the Spanish media.

As the captain of the Brazilian national team, Neymar voted for his former teammate and good friend Messi in the first place in the Ballon d'Or voting.

The second place went to Cristiano Ronaldo of rival Real Madrid.

The third place went to Thiago Silva.

This is also the new rule for the Ballon d'Or selection. Coaches and captains from all countries can vote for their own players.

But Neymar did not vote for the hot favorites Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos, nor for the German players.

The reason is probably related to the disastrous defeat in the World Cup.

Neymar revealed in an interview with a TV station, "I think Thiago Silva is the best central defender in the world and he deserves recognition from the Golden Ball!"

This once again made all the media and fans start paying attention to the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.

The national teams and captains of each country announced their voting results, which has been a consistent tradition for many years.

There are even people who specialize in counting the votes of coaches and captains of strong teams to give another version of the answer.

Neither Yang Cheng nor the Bayswater Chinese responded to this.

Who to vote for and who not to vote for is everyone's right, and no one can interfere.

After arriving in Marrakech, the team faced the semi-finals of the Club World Cup on December 12.

The opponent is Blue Cross from Mexico.

One interesting thing is that although the average age of the Chinese in Bayswater is increasing year by year, it is still one of the youngest teams in European football.

But the average age at Mexico's Blue Cross is closer to 31.

This reflects an interesting phenomenon, that is, Mexico is experiencing a serious brain drain and youth training talent cannot keep up.

There is not much to say about the competition process.

Restricted by FIFA's requirements, Yang Cheng had to arrange rotations, and eventually defeated Mexico's Blue Cross 5-0 and successfully advanced to the finals.

Toni Kroos was voted the best player of the match.

After the game, FIFA publicly stated, "He is the player who cannot be deleted from the Bayswater Chinese tactical board!"

"We are not used to seeing Kroos make mistakes because he only loses the ball two or three times a game."

"He is a phenomenal midfielder!"

After the semi-finals, the team still stayed in Marrakech for training and preparation for the upcoming Club World Cup final.

The opponent is San Lorenzo from Argentina.

Before the final, as Yang Cheng expected, 25 FIFA executive members gathered in Morocco.

Including FIFA President Blatter, there were 26 people in total who convened a FIFA Executive Committee meeting.

After the meeting, David Gill, Vice President of the English Football Association, Vice President of UEFA, member of the FIFA Executive Committee and former CEO of Manchester United, came to the hotel where the Chinese were staying in Bayswater in the name of a visit.

……

The development of many things did not completely deviate from the trajectory of Yang Cheng's previous life.

Although there is Yang Cheng, the butterfly, many things will not change.

For example, the human heart.

David Gill revealed that before the Executive Committee meeting in Marrakech, Platini had already brought together a number of people to openly oppose Blatter at the Executive Committee meeting, demanding that he release the full 430-page version of the Garcia report.

Blatter still uses the strategy of procrastination, which is his most common tactic.

As the emperor of world football, it is difficult for anyone to coerce him as long as he does not give in.

In the past few years, various scandals such as bribery, black money, and vote buying have occurred almost every year, but do they have any impact?

Doesn’t everything end up in nothing?

Therefore, whether it is Blatter, Platini, or even David Gill, Adam Crozier and others around Yang Cheng, basically do not think that this matter is any different from the previous ones.

As for the battle between UEFA and FIFA, it has been going on for decades.

It is nothing new.

To put it bluntly, Blatter doesn't want to step down, but Platini wants to take over, and the two sides are just wrestling with each other.

If the two sides fight but do not break each other, they will never really fall out.

"As you said before, I got a general understanding of the attitudes of the executive committee members before and after the meeting. Basically, they all felt that in the end, Blatter and Platini would deal with each other, and one side would give in and compromise."

“So, for them, the whole thing is not so much a high-end power struggle as it is an opportunity for the big guys to make a profit.”

At the end, David Gill himself couldn't help laughing.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

After much fighting at the top level, the final result is still the same old three.

Isn't it the same no matter who comes on?
In this case, why would the executive committee members think about the future? Aren’t they all thinking about how to ensure that they or the forces behind them benefit?

I have to say, this is actually a kind of sadness.

Just like the UK.

We keep denouncing Russia and Qatar for their dishonorable bids to host the World Cup, but Britain’s own bid was glorious?
This is just the impotent rage of a loser!
The only difference is that Yang Cheng’s interests are now consistent with those of the British.

"What do you think?" Yang Cheng looked at the former Manchester United CEO indifferently.

This is also a capable person!

At the very least, he is one of the few talents in European football who can be appreciated by Yang Cheng.

"What about me?" David Gill smiled again. "According to the current trend, I am considering taking another step forward next year and striving to become the vice president of FIFA. If possible, I will be in charge of finances."

In any organization, finance is the lifeblood!

But David Gill is doing this at Manchester United, the FA and UEFA.

He graduated from Birmingham University and was once a chartered accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, a true professional!
What's more, he has been at Manchester United for more than ten years and his achievements are obvious to all.

In 13, David Gill resigned from Manchester United and joined UEFA from the FA. These were all strongly promoted by the Premier League and the FA.

As Yang Cheng said before, the Premier League also has people in UEFA.

"I think you can dream bigger." Yang Cheng seriously drew a circle in front of David Gill.

That's like a big piece of cake.

"A little bigger?" David Gill was surprised.

Not only him, Adam Crozier also felt very strange.

Is this a plan for a high-end game?

Yang Cheng nodded with a smile, "I can tell you a little bit of information. Blatter's trouble this time is not that simple. Even if he can deal with Platini, he can't get away with it."

Yang Cheng stopped at the point and didn't explain in detail.

This is how high-end games work.

All parties involved must maintain their own sense of mystery.

If you have the ability, go and guess!
“More troublesome than Platini?”

David Gill and Adam Crozier were both very surprised.

Yang Cheng nodded but said nothing.

They both gasped.

What kind of power and energy is that?

They can't imagine it!

No one in the world would be able to imagine it unless they experienced it themselves.

But Yang Cheng wanted to use this opportunity to further create his own mysterious aura.

How will they feel when the truth comes out?
"In short, listen to me and prepare yourself silently. At the critical moment, either don't make a move or make sure you hit the target!"

David Gill frowned, "You mean, go directly to elect the FIFA president?"

After finishing speaking, David Gill even shook his head, "This is impossible. There is also a Platini..."

"I'll help you deal with him!" Yang Cheng said, staring into David Gill's eyes.

David Gill was suddenly speechless.

Yang Cheng has been very famous in Europe and in the world of football over the past few years.

What he said was absolutely guaranteed.

But can he really deal with the UEFA president?
Of course, Yang Cheng would not say what confidence he had or what bargaining chips he had. Everything was done in secret, leaving them to guess.

When David Gill heard this, his breathing became noticeably faster.

There is still about half a year to go before the FIFA presidential election. If he prepares well in advance and if he really gets rid of Blatter and Platini one after another, he will really have a chance to take advantage of the chaos and profit from it.

Of course, he also has many opponents.

"Don't worry, go and make preparations first, just as if you were going to elect a vice chairman. Make all preparations, especially to win over all parties. I'll help you with the rest."

David Gill still couldn't believe it.

Could Yang Cheng have such great power?

What kind of power is behind him?
But there were many things he couldn't help but believe.

Besides, this pancake is so tempting!
"If, I mean if, after you succeed, what do you want?"

David Gill's words proved that he had taken the bait.

"What do you think I need? Money? Fame? Status? Or something else?"

Yang Cheng burst into laughter.

He lacks nothing now.

Oh, by the way, he only has one wife.

But the question is, if he wants, with his current status and position, will he be short of women around him?

"My purpose in helping you is very simple. I don't like Blatter and Platini, and by the way, I want an officially recognized identity for the International Champions Cup!"

With this identity, it will be much easier to organize competitions in the future.

The reason why many sponsors and partners are still hesitant is that they are worried that this event may be banned at any time.

After all, given UEFA and FIFA's past style, how could they be willing to let go of such fat meat?

As long as it is officially recognized, the development speed of this cup competition will far exceed everyone's imagination.

"I need to think about it carefully." David Gill still felt that it was too exciting.

He needs to calm down and think carefully.

Yang Cheng didn't urge him and nodded in agreement.

In a high-end game, if David Gill doesn't want to play, no one can force him.

……

On the evening of December 12th, Marrakech, Morocco.

In the Club World Cup final, Bayswater Chinese played against Argentina's San Lorenzo.

According to FIFA requirements, both teams must send out their main players in this game.

Naturally, Yang Cheng did not hide anything.

When it comes to the tactics in the game, there is actually not much to say.

Yang Cheng had only one requirement: to crush them directly.

As soon as the game started, the fast-paced attack of the Bayswater Chinese made the players of San Lorenzo feel very uncomfortable.

When have they encountered such tactical play in South America?

After just 5 minutes, Bayswater Chinese got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

But this time the distance was too far, a full 32 meters.

However, seven minutes later, Bayswater Chinese got a second free kick opportunity.

San Lorenzo obviously had not heard of the name of Bayswater Chinese in South America, otherwise it would be hard to imagine why they would give so many free kicks in the frontcourt.

This time, Gareth Bale calmly took the penalty and scored a direct free kick from 23 meters.

San Lorenzo goalkeeper Torrico didn't even have time to react.

1 is better than 0!

After taking the lead, the Chinese in Bayswater began to gain the upper hand.

San Lorenzo gradually retreated, trying to stabilize its position and launch a counterattack.

But in the 34th minute, Harry Kane made a wonderful pass in a counterattack, Gareth Bale broke into the left side of the penalty area, and shot from a small angle into the far corner, but was saved by goalkeeper Torico.

Corner kick.

Toni Kroos took the corner kick and Thiago Silva headed the ball into the goal, giving Bayswater Chinese another goal.

2 is better than 0!

After the second half, in the 51st minute, Modric made a wonderful pass, Gareth Bale moved to the right side of the penalty area, shot low with his left foot and scored his second goal.

3 is better than 0!

In terms of strength, San Lorenzo is not at the same level as the Bayswater Chinese.

But this South American team plays in a rough style with lots of tricks.

Especially when the team was behind and lost the ball continuously, they committed fouls more frequently.

However, it ultimately failed to change the course of the game.

Bayswater Chinese defeated San Lorenzo 3-0 in a clean victory.

Gareth Bale scored twice and was named the best player of the match!
……

Three consecutive Club World Cup titles!

After the match in Morocco, the British newspaper The Times published a comment immediately, expressing its sincere praise.

"San Lorenzo head coach Paosa said after the game that the Bayswater Chinese team has many world-class players with outstanding personal abilities, and he has made very targeted arrangements."

"But when it came to the actual game, we couldn't stop them at all. All the targeted defenses completely disappeared."

"Pauza highlighted Gareth Bale."

"The head coach of the Argentine club believes that speed is certainly Gareth Bale's most threatening weapon, but in fact, his sense of smell and interlaced movement, as well as his abundant physical strength and strong physique, are all becoming his weapons."

"All of this makes Gareth Bale even more threatening!"

But what really impressed the Argentines was the Bayswater Chinese team.

"Bosa thought that at the start of the game, his players were not ready and had already conceded a goal."

"It was a very bad start and very demoralizing for San Lorenzo."

The Times finally stated that in this Club World Cup final, the Chinese in Bayswater proved their strength to everyone!

The British Guardian commented on the game with an equally eye-catching headline, "Bale, the king of the final!"

The Guardian revealed that over the years, whenever Gareth Bale participated in some important finals, he was able to perform well and never disappointed.

He scored twice in last season's Champions League final.

He also scored twice in this season's European Super Cup.

And now, in the Club World Cup, he scored twice again.

"He's like a man born for the final!" praised the Guardian.

Gareth Bale played at an amazing level in the final in Morocco.

"He deserves the title of best player and all the honors!"

In addition to praising the Bayswater Chinese and Gareth Bale, the British Sun also mentioned Thiago Silva's goal.

The Brazilian central defender has long been an important part of the Bayswater Chinese defense.

"Whenever the team needs him, Thiago Silva always comes forward."

"Either in front of our own goal or in front of our opponent's goal!"

While public opinion was overwhelmingly praising the Chinese at Bayswater and their players, the British media was also reporting another piece of news.

But it didn't happen on the field, but at the awards ceremony at the end of the game.

Anyone who watched the live broadcast of the game and saw the award ceremony after the game would have noticed that when Yang Cheng walked in front and led the team to the podium, he was warmly welcomed by many guests along the way.

First it was the FA, then the UEFA executive committee members.

Yang Cheng walked along, greeted them with a smile, and shook hands with them one by one.

If he meets someone he knows, such as David Gill, he will enthusiastically go up to him and hug him and accept his congratulations.

But when he came near Blatter and passed in front of Platini, it was obvious that his hand went directly over Platini and touched Blatter's hand from the next door.

This made Platini, who was standing between the two of them and was originally smiling and about to shake hands with Yang Cheng, suddenly look embarrassed.

This scene was broadcast live to the whole world!

At that time, the live commentator naturally introduced some conflicts between Yang Cheng and Platini before the Club World Cup final.

"Platini should be embarrassed now, he shouldn't have said those things before the game."

"It's like someone is planning a wedding, and you go to their door and say something unlucky. Isn't that asking for trouble?"

What was really embarrassing was that, with the exception of Yang Cheng, almost all the subsequent Bayswater Chinese players chose to bypass Platini, and no one took the initiative to shake hands with the UEFA president.

"This is the most invisible moment in the history of UEFA president!"

How far have things developed?

When the last captain of the Bayswater Chinese team, Modric, was about to go on stage and pass in front of Platini, the UEFA president actually smiled and opened his arms to hug him.

Unexpectedly, Modric put his hands forward and blocked Platini.

In the end, he failed to hug, or even shake hands, he just grabbed Modric's arm.

This scene happened during the game, right under the eyes of all the fans around the world who were watching the live broadcast of the game.

And this is even more exciting than the Club World Cup itself!
The Chinese in Bayswater are so disrespectful to the UEFA President?
After the game, no one from the Bayswater Chinese team commented on the matter and refused all interviews.

But public opinion continues to ferment.

The next afternoon, when the team returned to London from Morocco, in order to avoid reporters, the bus drove directly onto the tarmac. After picking up the players, it went directly to the Brent Training Center without stopping.

There was no contact with the media or fans throughout the whole process.

The club also announced the postponement of the Club World Cup launch ceremony, which was originally scheduled to be held before the World Cup.

"It is obvious that Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater have no intention of saving face for Platini!" the Times analyzed.

At least judging from the current attitude, the goal is to allow public opinion to ferment.

But on the third day, UEFA finally couldn't sit still anymore.

Spokesperson Pinto held a press conference at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland to clarify the matter.

"What I want to explain is that the Bayswater Chinese did not deliberately target Platini. This is a rumor without any basis!"

So what about the scene that happened on live TV?
"In fact, this was just an accident. As a European team, we have won the Club World Cup for three consecutive years. Platini and UEFA have congratulated Yang Cheng and his players immediately after the game."

"They are the heroes of European football and the great victors!"

"That's why there are no handshakes at the awards ceremony after the game!"

A reporter asked on the spot, that is to say, you shook hands and congratulated each other immediately after the game, right?
Pinto said with certainty, “Yes!”

“So, what happened on the podium, it didn’t exist at all.”

"The fact is that both parties felt that they had already talked and shook hands before receiving the award, so there was no need to shake hands again, and Platini was talking to other people at the time."

But is there really no problem?

On December 12, as part of the routine pre-Christmas activities, the Chinese in Bayswater came out in full force and divided into several groups to participate in the activities arranged by the club.

All media reporters who hear the news will be told one thing in advance.

Players and coaches will only answer questions related to Christmas.

No one responded to the concerns of the outside world.

But sometimes, not responding is itself a response.

L'Equipe commented in the news, "Platini's previous remarks have united the Chinese in Bayswater against a common enemy!"

"He has never apologized for his inappropriate remarks so far!"

"Not even an explanation was given!"

"But now, the Bayswater Chinese have no intention of reconciling with him."

Spain's Marca newspaper believes that this is revenge from the Chinese in Bayswater.

The reason was that Platini's previous series of inappropriate remarks completely angered Yang Cheng and his players.

"Although two players made the top three, FIFA slapped Platini in the face with this move, but Yang Cheng and his players decided to deliberately ignore Platini in front of fans around the world."

"This is their revenge against the UEFA president!"

Germany's Bild believes that this incident stems from a series of inappropriate remarks made by the UEFA President.

"If he is not willing to apologise for his previous remarks, he has no right to ask the Chinese in Bayswater to understand."

On December 12, Christmas Day, European media, as well as media and fans around the world, were still paying attention to this news.

Even many people are waiting to eat Christmas gossip.

According to British media reports, Platini made a holiday call to the Chinese in Bayswater around noon on Christmas Day.

This was not a big move, but at this moment, this call obviously had special meaning.

But it was the club's front desk who answered the phone.

“Our UEFA president was told by the front desk that the club was on holiday and everyone was away.”

Then why did she get the call?
Because the landline was transferred to her mobile phone.

British media reported this incident one after another, believing that Platini wanted to break the ice during Christmas, but ended up hitting an iceberg.

“The Bayswater Chinese didn’t give him a chance to reconcile!”

The German media were very surprised.

Didn’t the UEFA President call to celebrate Christmas without making an appointment with the Chinese in Bayswater in advance?
Are you doing things so carelessly?
Now, no one answers the phone. Isn’t that embarrassing?
UEFA spokesman Pinto responded urgently, saying that this was a spur-of-the-moment call and there was indeed no advance appointment.

But he repeatedly stressed that this kind of thing is normal and there is nothing to be surprised about.

"As far as UEFA is concerned, I can assure everyone that the communication between us and the Chinese in Bayswater is smooth and there are no problems."

"I also had a conversation with Platini, and he told me that Bayswater Chinese is the best, most successful and most influential football club in Europe and even the world."

"As UEFA president, he felt sad when people thought he had a bad relationship with the Chinese in Bayswater."

"Because it's not true!"

On the afternoon of December 12, in the 26th round of the Premier League.

Platini, who was supposed to be on vacation, suddenly visited the Emirates Stadium in London.
