I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 359 Grand Slam! Mourinho, I applaud you! Physics doesn't exist for him! [Please subscribe]

After the 31 rounds of the Premier League, there will be a two-week national team training camp in March.

In preparation for the 2016 European Championship, European countries will certainly not miss any national team players they can call up.

However, without much reminder from the clubs, the national team players all have a very strong sense of self-protection.

Nobody wants any injuries or illnesses to occur at this critical juncture.

Of course, the club did everything it was supposed to do.

Yang Cheng remains extremely busy every day.

He was busy with both the Chinese affairs at Beswater and his work with FIFA.

There is also the International Champions Cup from the American company ICC.

After obtaining authorization from FIFA and the continental football federations, ICC began negotiations with numerous broadcasters, including ESPN and Al Jazeera, as well as major sponsors such as Nike.

All parties have given high praise to the new solution proposed by ICC.

Over the past few years, the International Champions Cup has expanded rapidly, and although its influence has grown, everyone is also clearly aware of its potential bottlenecks and future development issues.

Now that ICC has promptly introduced a reform plan, broadcasters and sponsors are undoubtedly looking forward to it.

At least from a business perspective, it is indeed very promising.

In March, ICC held a press conference in the United States to solemnly announce two things to everyone.

First, they acquired the agency rights for UEFA, the Champions League, and the Europa League in the Americas.

The agency agreement came into effect after the 2016 European Championship.

This did not attract much attention from the media and fans.

However, it caused a great stir within the industry.

This means breaking the past monopoly.

Furthermore, everyone can foresee that ICC will cooperate with FIFA in the future to obtain the agency rights for other events such as the World Cup, which is also part of the reforms of FIFA and the continental football federations.

Introduce full competition!
Of course, this matter received virtually no attention from fans.

They were more concerned with something else.

Starting in 2017, the International Champions Cup will reform its format and expand its scale!
This time, the number of teams will be expanded from the original 16 to 32.

In addition to the current European teams, teams from Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania will be invited to participate, creating a truly international champions' cup.

David Pensell announced at a press conference that the International Champions Cup's cup competition nature will remain unchanged.

"This is the most fascinating and appealing element to our fans!"

Each participating team will receive a €300 million appearance fee for each match they play.

In addition, ICC offers generous winning bonuses, draw bonuses, and advancement bonuses.

The prize money for winning the championship will reach an unprecedented 1000 million euros!
If this standard is followed, each participating team will be able to earn at least 1000 million euros.

The group stage matches alone generated 900 million euros.

Add in other miscellaneous items, and breaking ten million euros is not difficult.

A team that wins the championship with a perfect record will have to play 7 games.

His appearance fee alone is as high as 2100 million euros.

In addition, there are winning bonuses, advancement bonuses, and championship bonuses.

The champion's total earnings will exceed 4000 million euros.

what does this mean?
This means that this tournament will become a major event that no team in the world will want to give up.

They even started to be willing to put more effort into the event.

As long as the participating teams are willing to fight tooth and nail, this tournament will definitely be very exciting.

David Pensell also gave a clear answer when responding to questions from reporters.

The reason why the team can receive such high appearance fees and bonuses after the expansion is mainly due to the strong support of the sponsors.

David Pensell stated that ICC has signed cooperation framework agreements with several highly influential global broadcasting organizations, including Sky Sports, ESPN, and Al Jazeera.

The huge broadcasting revenue and commercial sponsorship revenue are the strong backing of ICC.

After obtaining authorization from FIFA and the continental football federations, major broadcasters and sponsors have also been very actively involved.

For them, July and August are like a lull in football matches.

The International Champions Cup can fill this gap, which is of great benefit to them.

This major announcement from ICC immediately caused a huge reaction around the world.

Everyone can see that the International Champions Cup is truly aiming to grow bigger and stronger!

……

Another scandal has emerged in the Premier League during the two-week national team training camp.

The Sun reported that England striker Jermain Defoe, currently playing for Sunderland, secretly went to the Hilton Hotel in Newcastle after a training session to meet with a mysterious woman.

The key point is that Defoe had just gotten married a month ago, and the 28-year-old woman he was having an affair with was the girlfriend of former Liverpool player Stan Collymore, and the two had twins.

Defoe has performed well for Sunderland this season, but unexpectedly, this bombshell news has suddenly broken.

But that's still not the point.

More importantly, this guy was exposed as a habitual adulterer.

It is said that the number of women Defoe had affairs with was enough to form a formidable 11-person squad.

Can you bear this?

Moreover, this guy doesn't discriminate between raw and cold foods.

He could accept anyone, from athletes' girlfriends to dockworkers' wives.

This news caused quite a stir in the UK.

But everyone treated it as mere gossip.

As long as Defoe keeps scoring, no one will really care how much he messes up.

However, the next one was even more outrageous.

The Sun broke the story.

French center-back Djourou, who currently plays for Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, and his wife Emily have starred in a comedy film, which includes a rather explicit love scene.

This doesn't seem like a big deal, right?
It's just a player making a cameo appearance in a movie, and they're even filming intimate scenes?
The main point is that Zhu Lu's girlfriend was wearing an Arsenal jersey when filming the bed scene. Can you accept that?
Note that it wasn't Zhu Lu who wore it, but his girlfriend.

This is absolutely outrageous, isn't it?
Arsenal must be thinking: Damn it!

But what's even more outrageous is that the two investors in this film are Arsenal player Sagna and former Manchester United player Saha.

In short, the whole thing has been widely publicized.

Arsenal fans have a lot of opinions about this.

Who would dare to wear an Arsenal jersey in public after this?
Especially female fans.

But this involves Arsenal players and former players, as well as former Manchester United players...

The whole thing became quite outrageous.

It's even a bit absurd.

Of course, some not-so-absurd things happened during these two weeks.

For example, Guardiola publicly stated that Manchester City hopes to sign Toni Kroos.

The reason is that Yang Cheng, Toni Kroos's benefactor, is about to leave his position as manager, and the German midfielder should reconsider his future.

But the Chinese at Baswater did not respond to this.

Tony Cross, through his agent, stated that the player would not leave the Chinese side of Basworth.

Another piece of news is that Chelsea secretly contacted Conte, hoping that the Italian national team coach could replace Mourinho as Chelsea manager after the end of this season.

Conte is currently leading the team in preparations for a friendly match, a claim he has denied.

"Chelsea? No, I haven't signed any agreement with them."

"Yes, I said before that I would leave the Italian national team after the European Championship, but I haven't decided where I'll go yet. I want to return to club coaching."

Conte revealed that he is not opposed to coaching in the Premier League.

"This is a completely new challenge for me."

What about Mourinho?
Clearly, the Portuguese manager is in a very awkward position.

He hasn't even finished his get out of class yet, while Conte has already been confirmed to be in charge.

But The Sun...

Yes, it's still The Sun.

This Fleet Street media outlet is truly ubiquitous.

The Sun reports that Mourinho will join Manchester United after being sacked from Chelsea, succeeding Van Gaal as the Red Devils' manager.

The managerial changes at Chelsea and Manchester United were basically the same as those in Yang Cheng's previous life.

The reason for this is that top-notch coaches are indeed becoming increasingly scarce in European football today.

Benitez faltered at Real Madrid, Van Gaal at Manchester United, and Mourinho's situation at Chelsea is also not ideal.

All of this shows that a dramatic change is taking place in European football.

Especially with the Qatari consortium about to take over Tottenham Hotspur.

The competition for star players has reached a fever pitch.

The competition for top coaches has only just begun.

It was in this atmosphere that the Chinese coach at Bethwater signed a coaching contract with Flick.

Starting in 2016, the German will officially replace Yang Cheng as the Chinese coach at Besworth.

The purpose of doing this is clear: to refuse any attempts by teams to poach Flick.

As the team's owner, Yang Cheng personally attended the signing ceremony and signed the contract on behalf of the club.

This is the greatest recognition for Flick!

Yang Cheng stated that over the past two years, Flick's work with the Chinese at Bethwater has been recognized by everyone.

"I believe he will be an excellent head coach!"

“Some important changes are taking place in European football, and so are we Chinese at Beswater.”

"I believe that Flick can lead this team forward!"

When asked by the media for his opinion as head coach Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng smiled and said that he absolutely supports Flick's coaching.

After this season ends, he will no longer be involved in the management of the first team.

"This is not a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"Actually, I started thinking about this issue many years ago, and I started preparing three years ago. Two years ago, Hans joined the Chinese team at Beswater."

"I think now is the time!"

Why make an official announcement at this time?
Yang Cheng smiled and said that it was because Flick had rejected offers from several teams.

"This was decided last July!"

As the team's head coach, Yang Cheng said that he will do his best to lead the current group of players to give their all in every game of the remainder of the season and play well in every match.

"I am very proud because we are the only team in European football so far that is still fighting on four fronts."

"This season, we have already won the Community Shield, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup and the League Cup."

"I hope that in all the upcoming matches, I can work even harder and strive to win the league, the Champions League and the FA Cup."

"Then we will become the first team in European football history to win seven titles, a grand slam team!"

"This is my wish!"

Yang Cheng's words quickly spread around the world after being disseminated by the media.

Countless media outlets and fans felt extremely sorry.

They had already guessed it.

But when it was officially announced, they still found it hard to accept.

Especially among the many Chinese fans of Basswater.

In their memory, from the moment they fell in love with the Chinese players at Baswater, Yang Cheng stood in front of the team's coaching bench, persisting day after day for more than a decade.

Under Yang Cheng's coaching, the team is thriving.

Now that Yang Cheng wants to withdraw, how can they accept this?
Many media outlets and fans are also worried that the Chinese from Besworth might repeat Manchester United's mistakes.
In other words, after Ferguson stepped down, Manchester United never recovered.

Although Yang Cheng has made many preparations, what if things really turn out like Manchester United?
Despite the widespread rumors circulating outside, the team remained remarkably steadfast and united.

Captain Modric revealed in an interview with the media that his contract with the team has been extended to 2020.

"My professional career started with the Chinese at Baswater."

"Our boss brought me from Croatia to London!"

“I am very honored to be the first player in history to join the Premier League through a special talent clause.”

"I'm 30 years old, but I will still stay with the team. I will keep playing until I can't play anymore, or until the team no longer needs me!"

Modric's experience with the Chinese at Bethwater is nothing short of legendary.

He was the team captain from the lowest level onwards.

Having served as captain for over a decade, I have personally witnessed the transformation of the Baswater Chinese team from an insignificant little club into today's world-class powerhouse.

Modric himself has become a top superstar.

This is a legendary story in the world of football!
Both the Chinese from Basworth and Modric hope to continue this wonderful story until the end of Modric's professional career.

He will be like legends such as Gerrard, Maldini, and Totti, playing for only one team his entire career!
Gareth Bell also expressed his sadness at Yang Cheng's decision, but said he respected it.

“We’ve known about this for a long time, and we’re very sad to see him go. However, we all know that he’s not playing on the football field now.”

"No matter what, he will always be with us."

"And we will all do our best to help him fulfill his wish, while continuing to help the Chinese in Bethwater."

"This is not only the result of our leader's hard work, but also the result of the collective efforts of all of us over the years!"

Harry Kane, Theo Walcott, Toni Kroos, Raheem Sterling, Thiago Silva, Pepe, Virgil van Dijk, and other players have all spoken out to the media, stating that they will definitely stay with the team.

Yang Cheng's departure will definitely have an impact on the Chinese at Bethwater.

But everyone believes that under Flick's leadership, the Chinese in Baswater will continue to be as strong as ever!
This season?
have nothing to say.

The Chinese from Baswater aim to win all the championships!

……

At noon on April 2nd, at Prudential Stadium in London.

In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Basworth Chinese will host Chelsea.

Influenced by the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final midweek, Yang Cheng made significant rotations in this match.

With a clear advantage in the league, Yang Cheng needs to free up his resources and concentrate more of his forces on the Champions League.

In the 52nd minute of the second half, Casemiro made a brilliant interception just outside his own penalty area and quickly passed the ball forward to De Bruyne.

The Belgian midfielder had just controlled the ball and turned around when Kanté immediately caught up with him.

The French midfielder closed in on De Bruyne and reached out to block Kanté's chest.

It's like the work done in the first fifty minutes of a game.

His job is to steal the ball.

De Bruyne then passed the ball to his right foot and quickly dribbled forward, trying to break through Kanté's interception.

Despite Kanté's persistent harassment and pulling, he was unable to stop De Bruyne.

The French midfielder had a yellow card and dared not make any overly aggressive moves.

The two men continued their struggle, crossing the center line from the right side of the center circle.

At almost the same time, the front three were already sprinting forward.

Sterling, Giroud and Salah are all trying to run forward.

De Bruyne had the ball on his right foot and blocked Kanté with his left hand, but he was also blocked by Kanté at the same time, so the ball's advance was not fast.

If this continues, we won't be able to launch this quick counterattack.

Chelsea's defensive focus was clearly on Giroud and Salah.

After all, the ball was on the right flank.

But after glancing ahead, De Bruyne saw a passageway.

A passage that no one can see!

As he crossed the center line and sprinted towards the bottom of the center circle, his right foot suddenly seized the opportunity and delivered a diagonal pass.

Kante was blocked on his left side, so there was no way to stop him from passing with his right foot.

But this pass wasn't a direct pass to Salah or Giroud; it was a diagonal pass.

The ball was passed between the trailing Khedira and the center-back Benatia, then diagonally behind Gary Cahill, landing on the unmanned left flank.

The Sky Sports commentator couldn't help but gasp in surprise the moment De Bruyne passed the ball.

How did he spot this route?

"How did he manage to make that pass when everyone was moving at high speed?"

Nobody knows.

But the ball pierced through Chelsea's well-organized defense at incredible speed, landing on the unmanned left flank.

Sterling surged forward at high speed and dribbled the ball right to the left side of the penalty area.

Gary Cahill reacted quickly, turning around and chasing after Sterling near the edge of the penalty area.

The England winger didn't wait for Cahill to get ready.

As soon as the Chelsea center-back arrived, Sterling made a sudden stop and then made a move to cut inside into the middle.

Cahill immediately made a blocking move.

Unexpectedly, the short Sterling moved very quickly and spun the ball back with his right foot.

In a single exchange, Sterling, moving at high speed, easily bypassed Cahill and dribbled into the left side of the penalty area.

Facing the timely onrushing goalkeeper Cech, Sterling delivered a deft right-footed chip shot.

The ball sailed over Cech's head and landed on the right side of the unguarded goal behind him. Without slowing down, he continued to rush off the field to celebrate.

Almost simultaneously, the entire Prudential Stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

The football hits the net!

9 fans rushed out of their seats, chanting Sterling's name wildly.

The Chinese players from Basworth also rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

"At least half the credit for this goal should go to De Bruyne."

"That pass was so unpredictable."

"I believe no one expected that he could even find such a passing route and pass it over."

"We saw Mourinho break down on the sidelines."

"He must have been incredulous about De Bruyne's assist."

"But such passes do exist!"

……

Ultimately, Basworth defeated Chelsea 1-0 thanks to a goal assisted by De Bruyne and set up by Sterling.

After the post-match press conference, Mourinho rushed to the date Yang Cheng had invited him for drinks. The first thing he said to Yang Cheng almost made Yang Cheng burst out laughing.

Give me a De Bruyne, and I'll kill you in a minute!

Yang Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Give you De Bruyne? Do you even know how to use him?"

"I don't know how to use it?"

Mourinho felt as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Let me tell you, a passing genius like De Bruyne, if placed on any team, would be impossible to misuse unless the coach is an idiot!"

After saying that, Mourinho nodded arrogantly at Yang Cheng, as if to say: If you don't believe me, sell him to me!

As for whether to sell to Chelsea or Manchester United, Mourinho didn't say.

But Yang Chengshi really couldn't hold it in any longer.

“I completely agree with that, José. A coach who can’t use De Bruyne well is an idiot, and a coach who can’t use him well and lets him go is an idiot among idiots!”

Mourinho instinctively paused for a moment.

Based on his understanding of Yang Cheng, these words didn't sound very friendly to him.

But he racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was wrong with what he said.
De Bruyne was indeed highly regarded by Chelsea back then, but the question is, wasn't he poached by Yang Cheng?

Thinking of this, Mourinho nodded solemnly.

Yes, the ultimate idiot!
Yang Chengshi was genuinely amused.

He really wanted to tell Mourinho: In my past life, you didn't use De Bruyne well and let him slip away right under your nose. What do you say about that?
It took him a great deal of effort to suppress the impulse.

"To be honest, Jose, the only thing you're really good at is your mouth!"

Mourinho glanced down at his waist and abdomen, a flicker of panic crossing his face, but he quickly and deliberately raised his voice, "Did I say something wrong?" "You didn't, you're right!"

Yang Cheng smiled and said: I give you a thumbs up!

After this match, Yang Cheng will likely never encounter Mourinho on the field again.

Chelsea were eliminated from the Champions League this season and also stopped in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

So, I guess we won't have a chance to meet again.

Yang Cheng naturally chatted with him for a while longer.

Mourinho is in a difficult situation right now.

His second stint as manager of Chelsea was initially filled with ambition, but unexpectedly, he still failed to make any progress.

"The competition in the Premier League is so fierce right now!"

After saying this with emotion, Mourinho immediately let out a long sigh.

The pressure is immense!

There are six strong teams battling it out there now, and Chelsea doesn't actually have any advantage in terms of strength.

But most importantly, the players brought in from Atletico Madrid have failed to perform at the same level as they did in La Liga in the Premier League.

Apart from Diego Costa.

Falcao is basically useless now.

As the team's head coach, Mourinho is naturally the person primarily responsible.

"You're really smart. As soon as you saw the Qatari consortium enter the market, you ran away." Mourinho said with a laugh.

Yang Cheng offered no explanation.

He knew that Mourinho wasn't talking about him, but rather expressing his feelings.

The Premier League, with its six top teams already locked in such a fierce battle, is truly insane if the Qatari consortium were to enter the fray again!

At that time, all head coaches will be under immense pressure.

"You still need to keep up with the times. Your management philosophy and team leadership methods need to be revised!"

As a friend, that's all Yang Cheng could say.

After all, even if Mourinho takes over Manchester United, he will still be a match for the Chinese coach, Basworth.

Moreover, Yang Cheng didn't think Mourinho would change his mind.

If this guy could listen to other people's advice, he wouldn't be Mourinho.

……

On the evening of April 5th, Prudential Stadium, London

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Beswathe Chinese will host Atletico Madrid.

Simeone's team started the game away from home with a defensive counter-attacking style.

Yang Cheng, as always, took the initiative.

After all, it's their home turf.

The Chinese team at Beswathe adopted an aggressive, pressing attacking style from the start, dominating Atletico Madrid.

But the Bed Sheet Army defended themselves very well.

Diego Simeone appears to be playing a 4-4-2, but in reality, Griezmann drops back into midfield more often.

The overall formation is actually 4231.

Torres was at the very front.

This also clearly reveals Atletico Madrid's strategy for this match.

That is a defensive counter-attack.

One side attacks, the other defends; both sides are basically playing their cards with their hands out in the open.

The Mattress Makers' meticulous defense caused the Chinese players at Beswater a lot of trouble.

Yang Cheng fielded a three-pronged attack of Theo Walcott, Harry Kane, and Gareth Bale for this match.

It's obvious they want to strengthen their attack and scoring efficiency at home.

Giroud was on the bench.

The first threatening attack of the match occurred in the 11th minute.

Gareth Bale dribbled inside from the right wing, got past Felipe Luis, and passed the ball back to Modric.

The latter made a cross pass, which found Walcott on the left side of the edge of the penalty area.

The little tiger attempted a curling shot, but it went just wide of the top right corner.

After 10 minutes of intense attacking play, the Chinese from Beswathe continued to dominate Atletico Madrid.

They seemed determined to suppress the "bedsheet army" relentlessly, even when they were in the right.

Subsequently, the Chinese in Bethwater quickly created another threat.

Marcelo's lobbed pass from near the left side of the penalty area headed directly towards the right post of the goal.

Gareth Bale surged forward at high speed, getting ahead of Godin, and headed the ball towards the goal.

The ball hit the crossbar, bounced back into the penalty area, and caused a scramble.

The Chinese at Baswater are capable of creating opportunities.

Under Atletico Madrid's relentless pressure, especially their dense defensive system, the players struggled to operate effectively, and their attacking efficiency was also affected.

Even passing the ball started to go wrong.

In the 24th minute, midfielder Koke successfully intercepted the ball from Modric, turned and delivered a long pass, initiating a quick counter-attack for the team.

Kirk's pass went directly behind the Chinese player on the Baswater team.

Everyone knows that Torres's greatest strength lies in this kind of direct attack on the goal.

As expected, Atletico Madrid's golden boy quickly broke the offside trap and headed straight for the goal.

At this moment, Diego Simeone on the sidelines couldn't help but clench his fists and shout excitedly.

"Charge forward, get that goal, Fernando!"

Torres was also prepared, sprinting forward at high speed, constantly looking back at the ball passed to him by Koke.

He has successfully broken the offside trap!
The next step is to stop the ball and score a one-on-one goal.

Just when Torres felt confident of scoring, a red figure caught up from a distance at an extremely fast speed, getting closer and closer until it finally rushed to his side.

Van Dijk!
Torres recognized the Dutch center-back at first glance.

Yang Cheng once said that he dared to push the defense forward because he had Van Dijk.

And this Dutch center-back has never disappointed Yang Cheng.

It's the same this time.

At this moment, Torres' impression of Van Dijk was simply: fast!
Its explosive power is extremely fast!

And he's incredibly agile!

He doesn't look clumsy and slow like those 1.95-meter-tall center-backs at all.

On the contrary, he looks very light, agile, and has a very strong explosive power.

This unscientific!

Does this mean that physics doesn't exist for him?
When Van Dijk caught up to him, Torres tried to reach out and block him, and even leaned his shoulder against him.

Based on Torres' past experience, this could force Van Dijk to slow down.

Unexpectedly, the Dutch center-back surpassed him in the next step.

This completely ruined Torres' original plan to use his body to lean on Van Dijk.

His movement of leaning his shoulder towards the other side completely caused him to lose his balance.

Left with no other choice, he could only reach out and grab, as if desperately grasping at a straw.

In fact, he did manage to grab Van Dijk's jersey.

But the Dutchman beat them to it, passing the ball to Thiago Silva next door.

Torres lost his balance and fell behind Van Dijk.

The entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.

Van Dijk received a cheer from all the fans at Prudential Stadium!

Diego Simeone, who had just been cheering for Torres' one-on-one chance, now looked disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly, and his expression completely changed.

Isn't this too outrageous?

Standing at 1.95 meters tall, with such explosive power and such agility!
"Holy crap, this game is unplayable!"

Simeone grumbled angrily and turned to walk back to the coaching bench.

Yang Cheng smiled and applauded Van Dijk.

A very important reason for this is that Torres is really getting old; he's slower and his explosiveness has diminished.

If it were any other speed-type player, he wouldn't dare to push the defensive line so far forward.

If the opponent has another Gareth Bell or Walcott, Yang Cheng will definitely have to be even more cautious.

……

With Van Dijk present and a solid defense, the Chinese forwards at Baswaters were able to launch attacks more freely, especially after the 30-minute mark.

But the team did lack some luck.

In the 32nd minute, a combination play from Marcelo saw Walcott receive the ball on the left flank, suddenly shake off Koke, cut inside to the edge of the penalty area, and unleash a powerful long-range shot with his right foot.

The football headed straight for the bottom right corner of the goal.

After bouncing off the ground, it grazed the base of the right post and went out of bounds.

Two threatening shots failed to breach Atletico Madrid's goal.

Walcott was not satisfied with the result.

The Chinese, Basworth, launched another attack before the end of the first half.

In the 41st minute, Gareth Bale received a pass from Modric on the right wing, cut inside laterally, and suddenly made a through pass to Harry Kane near the right edge of the penalty area.

After passing the ball, Gareth Bale immediately made a quick diagonal run, heading straight for the center of the goal, looking for the area behind Godin, who had been brought out by Harry Kane.

Instead of passing back to Gareth Bale, Harry Kane passed the ball laterally to the right flank outside the penalty area.

Piszczek surged forward, received the ball, glanced at Gareth Bale's run in the penalty area, and immediately delivered a cross from the right wing, finding the area between the penalty spot and the six-yard box.

Gareth Bale surged forward at high speed, using the momentum to leap high into the air and head the ball towards the goal from close range.

The ball was slammed into the left side of Atletico Madrid's goal by Gareth Bale.

Goalkeeper Oblak was completely powerless to do anything about it.

1 is better than 0!

Goal!

"Goal from Gareth Bale in the 41st minute of the first half!"

"Piszczek's cross from the right wing found Gareth Bale perfectly in the middle!"

"This is what we mentioned before, the Chinese at Basworth are best at: the cross-positioning of the front three."

"Harry Kane moved to the right, and Gareth Bale made a diagonal run into the middle."

"This kind of cross-cutting movement is a real headache for defenders."

"If they follow, the defensive order will be disrupted."

"If we don't follow, then it will be like just now, Gareth Bale directly attacking behind Godin, completely paralyzing Atletico Madrid's defense!"

"It has to be said that, offensively, the Chinese team from Baswater are definitely the strongest team in the world!"

……

The team led by one goal at halftime.

After the break in the second half, the Chinese players from Beswathe continued their momentum and pressured Atletico Madrid.

The Mattress Makers still prefer a defensive counter-attacking strategy.

Simeone's team will have a hard time threatening the Chinese team in attack.

Especially when they press out to attack, that plays right into Yang Cheng's hands.

On the contrary, they would be more confident if they played a defensive counter-attacking style.

However, this makes it easy for the Chinese in Baswater to exert unilateral pressure.

The situation was almost entirely one-sided.

In the 53rd minute, as the first wave of attacks by the Baswater Chinese in the second half was coming to an end, Tony Kroos suddenly made a diagonal pass, sending the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Piszczek made another run forward, controlled the ball, glanced into the penalty area, and delivered another cross.

But this time he didn't look for Gareth Bale at the near post, nor for Harry Kane in the middle, nor for Walcott lurking on the left side of the penalty spot. Instead, he directly transferred the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

This tactic of suddenly shifting play from the left to the right and then crossing back from the right to the left in a short period of time left Atletico Madrid's penalty area wide open on the left side.

Marcelo made a high-speed run, and with a first touch of his left foot, he sent Piszczek's cross back to the center, directly to the goal in front of the six-yard box.

The rest is quite simple.

Harry Kane poked the ball out from in front of the goal.

Rather than saying he poked the ball, it's more accurate to say he blocked it.

Marcelo's cross was thus deflected into Atletico Madrid's goal.

Despite diving to block the shot from point-blank range, Oblak was powerless to stop it.

The ball went straight into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

The entire Prudential Stadium erupted in deafening cheers from the fans once again.

Leading by 2 goals!
This is definitely something to celebrate for the Chinese at Baswater.

But Yang Cheng on the sidelines was still not satisfied.

After the players returned from celebrating their goals, he immediately signaled to the team to continue applying pressure.

Go all out and take down your opponent!

In the 64th minute, the Chinese players from Beswathe played a brilliant combination play on the right side of the edge of the penalty area.

After Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, and Modric completed a series of passes, Modric delivered a diagonal pass from the edge of the penalty area to Walcott on the left side of the box.

After breaking into the left side of the penalty area, the little tiger controlled the ball with his left foot, cut past Juanfran, and then pulled it with his right foot, cutting inside laterally.

Having just shaken off Juanfran, Walcott curled a right-footed shot.

This was his fourth shot in the match after cutting inside from the left wing.

Two of the previous three attempts posed a direct threat and almost resulted in a goal.

There was another time when the score was significantly off.

But this time, his movements were very smooth and highly executed, and the point of contact with the ball was also excellent.

He felt it!
The football arced through the air and nestled into the top right corner of the goal.

Goal!!!!

"In the 64th minute of the second half, the Chinese team scored again!"

"Walcott cuts inside from the left and curls a shot into the net!"

"3 to 0!"

"My God, I can't believe it."

"The match has been a one-sided massacre so far, with the Chinese players from Beswathe completely dominating Atletico Madrid."

"3 to 0!"

"The Bed Sheet Army is no match for the overwhelming offensive of the Chinese from Bethwater!"

……

After the Chinese from Basworth scored three goals, the situation of the game changed dramatically once again.

Simeone began making substitutions.

Jackson Martinez replaced midfielder Gabi.

At this point, Atletico Madrid's tactics resembled a 4-4-2, with a midfield diamond formation.

If Yang Cheng's guess is correct, Simeone had actually prepared a backup plan from the beginning, intending to launch an attack and secure an away goal before the end of the second half.

So even after conceding two goals, he remained calm and composed.

But when Walcott scored his third goal, he immediately made a substitution.

Time is running out for Atletico Madrid.

If Atletico Madrid fail to secure this away goal, their situation will be very dire in the second leg at the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

Because they were not confident they could come back from three goals without conceding.

Therefore, if Simeone wants to advance, he must press forward relentlessly in attack.

The Bed Sheet Army also began to fight tooth and nail with the Chinese from Bethwater.

Torres received a yellow card first.

Cork then received a yellow card.

Felipe Luis also received a yellow card.

Griezmann, Godin...

Even Oblak received a yellow card in the 79th minute.

All the Atlético Madrid players were playing like their lives depended on it against the Chinese player, Beswathe.

They hope to score a goal away from home through this intense competition and their relentless effort.

Despite Jackson Martinez's poor performance at Atletico Madrid, Yang Cheng still dared not be careless.

Adding Torres to the mix makes this combination very dangerous.

Incidentally, in Yang Cheng's previous life, Jackson Martinez also had third-party ownership transactions.

The last sucker to take the fall was China's Guangzhou FC.

A whopping 4200 million euros!
Converted to RMB, that's over 4 million.

In this version of the game, Jackson Martinez remained at Atlético Madrid and was not sold during the winter break.

This can be considered a butterfly effect brought about by Yang Cheng, saving the motherland a sum of foreign exchange.

Atletico Madrid played with all their might, and with the combined attacking prowess of Jackson Martinez, Torres, and Griezmann, Beswathe's Chinese team was forced to retreat and adopt a defensive posture in the final 20 minutes of the match.

Although Yang Cheng's team is known for its attacking football, its defense is by no means lacking.

Moreover, even with the opponent launching a desperate attack, the Chinese at Beswater were not without the power to fight back.

In the 87th minute, Van Dijk intercepted the ball and passed it to Harry Kane, who headed it on.

Walcott and Gareth Bale both made forward runs at the same time.

The young tiger dribbled the ball deep into the box and delivered a cross after entering the Atletico Madrid penalty area.

As a result, Gareth Bell charged too fast and overshot the mark.

When the Welshman turned to receive Walcott's pass, he didn't stop it properly and it went too far.

Godin, who had quickly recovered to defend, kicked the ball out of bounds.

Walcott and Gareth Bale looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Clearly, the two brothers felt that it was because the opponent's footwork was too bad and their awareness was too poor that the two players' one-on-one chance failed to go in!

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, helplessly slapping his forehead, looking utterly speechless.

"Let's have some fun!"

"They really went wild!"

"Although it's good that we're leading 3-0 at home, we can't afford to squander it like this!"

"Those two sluts, punish them severely later!"

Ultimately, until the end of the match, the Chinese from Beswathe were unable to break through Atletico Madrid's solid defense again.

3 is better than 0!

Baswater's Chinese team secured a resounding home victory against Atlético Rojiblancos thanks to goals from Gareth Bale, Harry Kane, and Theo Walcott.

Since they didn't concede an away goal, this score and lead are absolutely excellent for the Chinese at Beswater.

They've even got one foot in the Champions League semi-finals.

However, Yang Cheng still "severely" criticized Gareth Bale and Walcott after the match.

That goal was handled too recklessly!
Yang Cheng remained very cautious about the right to advance.

Because in his previous life, there were some teams that won by three or four goals at home, but were still overturned by their opponents when they went away.

What?
Which ones?
There's no need to name names, right?
