I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 363 A Great Harvest! The Ultimate Battle! Yang Cheng's Handpicked Choice! Yang Cheng Truly Can Turn the Mighty into the Mighty! [Please Subscribe]

When referee Mark Clattenburg blew the final whistle, cheers from the Chinese fans of Basworth filled the air at Wembley Stadium.

The players were celebrating jubilantly on the field.

2 is better than 0!

This is the final result of the match.

Baswater's Chinese team defeated Manchester United with two goals in the first half to win the FA Cup this season!

This is already the third championship trophy for the Chinese team at Baswater!

From the League Cup to the Premier League and then to the FA Cup, the Chinese players at Basworth are like championship harvesting machines, constantly winning all kinds of championships, big and small.

By now, they've basically won all the championships they could get this season.

Just one more building is needed.

It is also the most significant one.

The Champions League at the San Siro Stadium in Milan!

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, watching the players celebrating wildly on the field with mixed feelings.

Behind him, Flick, Brian Kidd, and others were equally excited.

This is truly a great honor for the Chinese at Baswater!

If they can win the Champions League again, then all of this will go down in history.

On the Manchester United coaching side, Van Gaal was very frustrated.

He already knew by the end of the first half that the game was basically lost.

Trailing 0-2, can they still turn the tide against Yang Cheng and Basworth, the Chinese?
If they could really do that, Manchester United wouldn't be in this mess now.

Van Gaal was very disappointed with the result of the match.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made a substitution, and the Chinese players from Besworth were once in a passive situation.

But they held on thanks to their solid defense.

Throughout the entire match, Manchester United only had about ten minutes of control, which gave them some consolation.

This is like a microcosm of Manchester United's season.

The only consolation for the team and fans is a top-four finish in the league.

At the very least, they secured their Champions League qualification, didn't they?

Compared to Manchester United's investment, with the signing of superstars like Ronaldo and Pogba, is a top-four finish in the league really enough?
"You know, Yang, I rarely submit to anyone."

As Yang Cheng walked over and shook hands with Van Gaal, the Dutchman still looked at Yang Cheng with an arrogant air.

"But I truly admire you and the Chinese, Baswater!"

"In the future, if anyone criticizes me for being a failure as a manager of Manchester United, I can yell back at them loudly."

"You son of a bitch, who can beat Yang Cheng and his Baswater Chinese?"

Van Gaal's words made Yang Cheng burst out laughing.

Does this work too?
But, it's pretty good.

People carry people in sedan chairs.

Sometimes, that's how one's status in the martial arts world is elevated!

"You need to be careful in the next match against Real Madrid. Zidane is a tough opponent, but more importantly, your biggest enemy is yourselves," Van Gaal warned.

At this point, he actually wished that the Chinese in Bethwater would achieve even greater success.

Ideally, we should defeat Real Madrid and win the Grand Slam.

And they are the first seven-time champions in history!
The higher the status and the greater the achievements of the Chinese in Basworth, the better the situation will be for Van Gaal and Manchester United.

"Don't worry, I know how to deal with Zidane!" Yang Cheng said calmly.

He had competed with Zidane quite a bit in his past life and was very familiar with his metaphysical methods.

Van Gaal was somewhat surprised.

Zidane has only just started coaching, and his results with Real Madrid's reserve team don't seem to be very good, but he's doing quite well with the first team.

But why does Yang Cheng feel like he's heard something familiar about it?

Are all Chinese intelligence systems this powerful?
……

After the FA Cup, the Chinese team at Baswater won another title!
This news quickly spread around the world.

Yang Cheng's team was followed by Chinese fans from Basworth Field all the way from Wembley Stadium to Prudential Stadium in central London, which even caused traffic congestion when they approached Hyde Park.

No special celebration ceremony was held at Prudential Stadium.

This was also a deliberate arrangement by the club.

From the League Cup to the Premier League to the FA Cup, everything has been handled discreetly, with no official events even being held.

Everyone knows that this is a big push, a move to unleash after the Champions League final!
To some extent, this puts pressure on the team, requiring everyone to be in top form in the Champions League final and give their all to defeat Real Madrid and win the championship!

However, the media outside gave extremely high praise to the Chinese player's victory at Baswater.

Not only British media, but media outlets from other countries have also sung praises of the Chinese in Bethwater.

Apart from the Champions League, the Chinese at Beswathe have won every title they could win this season.

This has already reached the club's limit!

It's important to know that in Yang Cheng's lifetime, no team has ever achieved a Grand Slam.

The Chinese at Baswater will be a unique presence!
Moreover, with five consecutive Premier League titles and four consecutive Champions League titles, their goal is to win five consecutive titles.

If the goal is achieved, then the Baswater Chinese will become the most successful football club in history!

Yang Cheng and his team will go down in history because of this!
Therefore, for the media, no amount of praise is too much.

On the contrary, the Chinese at Baswater handled the situation very discreetly.

After delivering the FA Cup trophy to the Prudential Stadium's Hall of Fame, the team returned to the Brunt training centre.

After a day of rest, Yang Cheng led his team from London to Milan, Italy.

The FA Cup final is on May 21, and the Champions League final is on May 28.

There was a full week of rest in between.

Moreover, several key players, including Gareth Bale, did not play the full match.

In the coming days, the team will be at their training base in Atlanta for a final push before the Champions League final!

……

The arrival of the Chinese players from Beswathe in Bergamo was met with a warm welcome from local Italian fans.

If back then, many local fans harbored resentment or even rejection towards Yang Cheng's acquisition of Atalanta, now, after the development of the past few years, everyone has witnessed Atalanta's progress.

After purchasing the stadium, the renovation project is progressing smoothly, and the new stadium will be further expanded to add more commercial space.

This will not only bring more matchday revenue to the team, but also allow them to better serve the fans.

The training base has been completely renovated.

Two training buildings were built on the flat ground, with very advanced facilities. At the same time, the youth training system and experience of the Chinese team from Beswater were introduced, and the characteristics of the Italian local area were combined.

Atlanta's youth training system has undergone tremendous changes in the past few years.

The club is also very willing to invest in youth training.

This has made Atalanta's already strong youth academy even more renowned in Serie A.

In the 15/16 Serie A season that ended on May 15, Atalanta successfully defeated Juventus to win the Serie A title this season!

Since its founding in 1907, Atalanta has never won the Italian top league title in over a century.

Even the Italian Cup has only one champion.

But in this season, Gasperini's team not only defeated Juventus in Serie A, but also historically won the club's first Serie A title in its 100-year history.

Meanwhile, in the Italian Cup final on May 21, they defeated Juventus 1-0 thanks to Immobile's goal, winning the Italian Cup title.

Atlanta has achieved a double championship this season!
This shocked the entire Italian football world!

It's worth noting that at the beginning of the season, no one was particularly optimistic about Atalanta.

The reason is actually quite simple: Biglia's transfer.

The importance of this Argentine midfielder to Atalanta goes without saying, as evidenced by Real Madrid's willingness to pay such a high transfer fee for him.

Losing Biglia is tantamount to Atalanta losing their midfield maestro.

But actually?
During the match, everyone was surprised to find that Brozovic perfectly filled the void left by Biglia, and players such as Bonaventura, Bruno Fernandes, Barella, Cristante, and De Paul all performed exceptionally well.

But the biggest discovery this season is academy graduate Frank Casey.

This young midfielder performed exceptionally well.

At only 19 years old, he has already shown remarkable qualities.

Six goals, three assists, an average of 6.2 ball recoveries per game, and a passing accuracy of 89%.

This 19-year-old Ivorian midfielder has become the biggest discovery in Serie A this season.

Immobile's strong resurgence after returning to Serie A has filled the void left by Luca Toni.

Or they may have already announced their retirement after the season ended.

Whether in the attacking third, midfield, or defense, Atalanta has demonstrated overwhelming dominance this season, striking fear into the hearts of all Serie A teams.

Milan's two giants, Juventus, Roma, and other teams are all eyeing Atalanta with great interest.

But Atlanta today is not what it used to be.

Especially the players' market value.

They made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and even against Real Madrid, they were able to put up a good fight.

This allowed Atalanta's players to make a name for themselves in European football.

These Serie A rivals will have to bleed heavily to poach players; otherwise, it's absolutely impossible.

Even if they poach Atlanta's players, so what?
With Yang Cheng and the Chinese from Bethwater backing them, Atlanta was not afraid of being poached at all.

It was Atlanta's outstanding performance that caused a huge change in the attitude of fans in Bergamo and the surrounding areas towards Yang Cheng and the Chinese from Beswathe.

They were very welcoming to the Chinese visitors from Baswater.

Even in the Champions League final, they clearly stood on the side of the Chinese team at Besworth, hoping that Yang Cheng's team could defeat Real Madrid, win their fifth consecutive Champions League title, and achieve a season grand slam.

This surprised Yang Cheng and the others.

They even received special treatment from fans in Italy.

I have to say, this was really unexpected.

Fortunately, they had been worried and made many preparations beforehand.

But this also proves that fans' demands on clubs are actually quite simple.

……

If Atalanta is starting to show results this season, then Nice in Ligue 1 is in an awkward transitional period.

The sale of so many star players last summer, especially the three key attacking players in the frontcourt, has had a significant impact on Nice.

This resulted in Nice falling behind Paris Saint-Germain from the very beginning of the season.

Despite a strong performance midway through the season, Pochettino's team ultimately couldn't shake Paris Saint-Germain's dominance in Ligue 1, finishing as runners-up.

However, in the French Cup final, Nice defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 to win the French Cup title.

This can be considered a consolation prize!

The biggest problem for Nice this season is still the team's attack.

Dembele performed exceptionally well, Mbappe began to shine, and Thauvin remained a key player for the team. However, the performances of other players, including Choupo-Moting, Marcus Thuram, Muani, and Guirassy, ​​were inconsistent.

Overall, Nice is still primarily focused on developing young players.

However, the players in the back line performed exceptionally well.

Players like Benjamin Mendy and Samuel Umtiti are being closely watched by major top clubs.

José Fonte truly deserves to be called the incubator of China's defense.

They're producing one center-back every year—that's incredibly efficient!

Even Akanji, who just joined the team, performed exceptionally well.

In midfield, players such as Bernardo Silva, Allan, Fabinho, and Jorginho also performed very consistently.

Especially Bernardo Silva.

According to the current plans of the Chinese at Besworth, especially after Flick takes over the team, some adjustments will definitely be made.

For example, Yang Cheng's first team originally only had 23 players.

Even with the addition of young players like Solanke, Arnold, and Declan Rice, the team only had 26 players.

Moreover, many of them are young players.

In midfield, Flick and his technical team are currently working closely together on whether to "buy" Bernardo Silva to the Chinese at Beswathe.

The reason is actually very simple.

Now, the competition in the Premier League is getting more and more intense. Yang Cheng can implement a policy of elite players, but Flick may not be able to do it.

Having another Bernardo Silva is like having an extra layer of protection.

The player himself is also full of anticipation and longing for joining Basworth!

This is one of the world's top football clubs right now, and it has many connections with Nice.

To be honest, most of the players who play in Nice hope to use Nice as a stepping stone to join the giant ship that is Beswathe-Chinese.

Another point is that Yang Cheng is proposing to increase the number of substitutions to five.

This necessitates the team to further expand its roster.

Yang Cheng's proposal has received a lot of support because it is very necessary.

The expansion plan for the International Champions Cup began in the summer of 2017.

After the expansion, the first event will be held in the United States, and the second event will be held in China.

By then, the teams will participate in more games each season, and the competition will be more intense.

The players will be under more pressure.

Therefore, increasing the number of substitutions helps reduce the burden on players.

Moreover, increasing the number of substitutions is not a recent idea; it has been proposed before, but it has never been adopted.

Now that Yang Cheng has brought this up, all parties are naturally paying more attention to it.

For various reasons, both Yang Cheng and Nice themselves are quite satisfied with their performance this season, including the league runner-up, the French Cup champion, and the Champions League round of 16.

With the Qatari consortium now acquiring Tottenham Hotspur, their operational focus will gradually shift to the Premier League.

While Paris Saint-Germain will still receive support, it will certainly not be as strong as before.

In this situation, Nice will certainly have more opportunities.

Of course, this Ligue 1 team still focuses on developing young players.

In Yang Cheng's view, as long as they can finish in the top three of Ligue 1 every season and qualify for the Champions League, there won't be any problems.

Oh, right, there's also the International Champions Cup coming up.

Fertilizer does not flow into outsiders' fields.

Nice, as a rising star in European football, will certainly get a share of the profits.

……

While Nice in Ligue 1 was still adjusting, Malaga in La Liga, as a newly promoted team, suddenly became the most dazzling dark horse in the entire La Liga.

Pellegrini's team became the focus of everyone's attention after being promoted to La Liga.

With the halo of Chinese players like Yang Cheng and Beswathe, coupled with the guidance of renowned coaches like Pellegrini, and after a year of development in the Segunda División, their strength has clearly increased since moving to La Liga.

Malaga's performance was also quite impressive.

Goalkeeper Onana goes without saying.

The defense features players such as Sergi Gómez, Lucas Hernández, and Lenglet.

The midfield is mainly composed of Rodri, Thomas Partey, and Alberto.

Up front, the trident of Trossard, Gerard Moreno, and Ziyech is a force to be reckoned with for many La Liga teams.

Of the three forwards, Trossard contributed 6 goals and 5 assists.

Ziyech has 7 goals and 6 assists.

Meanwhile, center forward Moreno scored 16 goals and provided 4 assists.

In other words, the front three scored 29 goals.

Moreno's performance was the most surprising of all.

This player did not perform very well when he was with Villarreal, and was not even a regular starter for the team.

But after arriving in Malaga, he transformed into a rising star striker in La Liga.

Although he can't compare to superstars like Torres and Lewandowski, he is still considered prolific among Spanish players, ranking 5th.

Second only to Athletic Bilbao's 35-year-old veteran Aduriz with 20 goals and Real Betis' 34-year-old veteran Castro with 19 goals.

He is also slightly inferior to Eibar striker Borja Baston, who has scored 18 goals, and Deportivo La Coruña striker Lucas Pérez, who has scored 17 goals.

But for Moreno, this was already a testament to himself!

Besides Moreno, Alberto also performed quite impressively.

As one of the best midfielders in La Liga this season, Alberto is mainly known for his attacking and passing skills.

They only regain possession an average of 2.9 times per game.

But behind Alberto is Thomas Partey, who averages 6.5 ball recoveries per game.

This allowed Alberto to fully dedicate himself to the team's organization and passing, unleashing the creativity of the Spanish midfielder.

This also revitalized Malaga's midfield.

It was thanks to the outstanding performances of these midfielders and forwards that Malaga scored 58 goals and conceded 35 in La Liga this season.

They ultimately finished fourth in the La Liga standings.

What's even more noteworthy is Malaga's outstanding record against the top three teams in La Liga this season.

They held Real Madrid to a 0-0 draw at the Bernabéu, and then drew 1-1 at home against them again.

Although they lost 0-1 to Barcelona at Camp Nou, they drew 2-2 with their opponents at home.

Against Atletico Madrid, they won 1-0 at home and lost 0-1 away.

It can be said that Malaga also achieved excellent results in the face of strong opponents.

The only downside is the Copa del Rey.

Perhaps Pellegrini was never meant to be in the Copa del Rey.

Malaga suffered a defeat in the first round of the Copa del Rey this season, losing away to an amateur team.

To put it nicely, this made Malaga even more fully committed to La Liga.

To put it bluntly, Pellegrini seems completely incapable of playing in the Copa del Rey.

Actually, Malaga's ability to break into the top four of the league owes a debt to Las Palmas and Sporting Gijón. This team from the Canary Islands held Athletic Bilbao to a 0-0 draw at home in the 37th round of La Liga.

But in the final round, they suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat away to Malaga.

Malaga has successfully reversed Athletic Bilbao's fortunes in these two rounds of matches.

Sporting Gijón, on the other hand, pulled off a stunning 2-0 upset against Villarreal in the final round.

In the end, both Malaga and Villarreal scored 64 points.

According to La Liga rules, goal difference is considered first.

Malaga edged out Villarreal, rising to 4th place and knocking them down.

Therefore, it was still very risky for Malaga to finish in the top four of the league.

However, with the training and development of players such as Rodri, Frenkie de Jong, Bentancur, Ceballos, Lo Celso, Lautaro Martinez, Olmo, and Rafinha.

Yang Cheng believes that Malaga will be even stronger next season!

……

If we're talking about results, then Twente in the Dutch Eredivisie has the most consistent performance.

Back in the 14/15 season, Twente was deducted 6 points but still finished 12th in La Liga.

They are quite strong to begin with.

After Yang Cheng acquired the team, he signed Vitesse's head coach, Peter Bots.

Bots' coaching ability was proven this season with Twente.

The addition of players such as De Roon, Orsnes, Zakaria, Aké, Dumfries, and Zinchenko has greatly enhanced Twente's overall strength.

Peter Botz even managed to develop Twente's overall strength during the summer training camp.

In the following first half of the season, Twente played incredibly attacking football in the Eredivisie.

They have performed exceptionally well, both in the standings and in terms of win rate.

With a solid defense, a dominant midfield, and a front line dominated by wingers such as Bergwijn, Ed, and Cabral, they managed to feed young player Osterwick from the youth team into the top scorer in the Eredivisie.

It can be said that before January, Twente was leading the Eredivisie and had almost no rivals.

The 1.94-meter-tall young player Osterwijk became the top scorer in the first half of the Eredivisie season, performing exceptionally well.

Whether it's the high ball, the scoring, or the rare bipedalism, all of these have earned Osterwick a lot of praise.

However, on January 26, after the team defeated PSV Eindhoven 4-2 away, Östervik underwent a medical examination due to feeling unwell and was diagnosed with a sudden heart attack.

After being diagnosed, the patient underwent surgery less than a week later.

It's safe to say that Osterwick is likely to bid farewell to football altogether.

This talented young center forward, whose value has soared to 1000 million euros, may very well perish due to a heart condition.

Twente was also greatly affected, with their performance declining sharply in the second half of the season.

Ultimately, they lost to PSV Eindhoven in the league title race.

However, in the two-legged Eredivisie match, Twente defeated PSV Eindhoven twice, winning spectacularly.

Although he didn't win the championship, no one can blame Peter Bots.

After all, his well-integrated team was ultimately defeated by a merciless heart attack.

However, the Twente team's handling of the Osterwick incident was also remarkably humane.

Not only did they pay all of Osterwick's medical expenses, but they also expressed their willingness to renew Osterwick's contract.

If I can still play football in the future, then I will continue to play football. If I really can no longer play football, then I will start to move behind the scenes and begin to take coaching courses.

This move earned Twente a standing ovation.

Almost everyone agrees that Twente has become much more humane in many ways since its acquisition.

At the very least, he has improved a lot compared to before.

Incidentally, both the Dickman Football Park and the stadium stand expansion are progressing smoothly.

Twente has set its sights on building the best youth academy in the Eredivisie within five years!
That was indeed a very bold move!
……

In the past 15/16 season, if we were to talk about the most attention-grabbing non-elite teams in European football, Eintracht Frankfurt from the Bundesliga would definitely be on the list.

This team has been embroiled in controversy throughout the first half of the season.

Frankfurt has been particularly embroiled in disputes involving acquisitions and Germany's 50+1 policy, drawing significant attention from the media and fans.

That acquisition, which shocked the entire European football world and even the world, brought the team to the attention of media and fans worldwide.

Ultimately, before the winter break, Yang Cheng successfully acquired ownership of Eintracht Frankfurt and became another exception to the Bundesliga's 50+1 rule, being allowed to operate a Bundesliga club.

However, Frankfurt was at the bottom of the rankings and performing poorly at the time.

In this situation, everyone was looking forward to Yang Cheng's miraculous hand, to see how he could turn the rotten into the miraculous.
And Yang Cheng did not disappoint.

The appointment of 28-year-old Julian Nagelsmann as head coach of Eintracht Frankfurt makes him the youngest head coach in Bundesliga history.

Subsequently, Frankfurt initiated a large-scale restructuring.

In particular, after letting go of a group of players in their prime, they brought in a group of relatively young players.

This has led to external doubts about Frankfurt's strength.

But all of this vanished completely with the three-game winning streak at the start of the second half of the season.

With this three-game winning streak, Frankfurt has successfully escaped the relegation zone.

But what's truly astonishing is that Frankfurt's magic has only just begun.

In subsequent Bundesliga matches, Eintracht Frankfurt demonstrated exceptional attacking prowess and midfield control.

Especially Nabi Keita and Lobotka.

Naby Keita was almost everywhere, extremely good at stealing the ball, and also very good at passing.

Lobotka excels at organization and control, and is extremely adept at passing and orchestrating plays.

The combination of the two, one offensive and one defensive, completely anchored Frankfurt's strength.

Hamburg were thrashed 3-1 at home.

They defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 away from home.

They thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 away from home.

2-0 home win against Borussia Dortmund!

Frankfurt's series of victories have shocked the entire German football community and even the entire European football community!

This is simply incredible!

But it happened anyway.

How outrageous is it?
Naby Keita made it into the Bundesliga Team of the Season in just half a season!
This midfielder, who cost Eintracht Frankfurt €1500 million to acquire, saw his value skyrocket within six months, doubling in value and attracting the attention and interest of numerous top European clubs.

But Frankfurt announced that they would keep Naby Keita as soon as the season ended.

The player also made a commitment through his agent, stating that he would remain in Frankfurt.

Why?

Because he is still young, he needs further growth and experience.

But over the past six months, Naby Keita's performance in the Bundesliga has left an incredibly deep impression on everyone.

Bayern Munich is holding up a check, trying to persuade Frankfurt with 3000 million euros.

But Frankfurt firmly rejected the offer.

Everyone clearly realized that this player was truly formidable!
Naby Keita appeared like a whirlwind, suddenly appearing before everyone and completely winning over all the Frankfurt fans.

If, six months ago, when Yang Cheng announced the acquisition of Eintracht Frankfurt, there were many local fan organizations launching various protests and even boycotting Frankfurt matches.

So, as the games went on and the team's performance improved, the team continued to play better and better.

Everyone clearly realized that the protests from local Frankfurt fans were growing weaker, while more and more fans were returning to the stadium.

Finally, they once again filled Frankfurt's home stadium to capacity, leaving no seats available.

As fans gradually ignored the change of ownership, they began to discuss whether Sebastian Haller was the next Pogba.

With captain Alexander Meyer nearing retirement, who on the team can take his place?

Filkrug?
Kleindingst?

Or Waldschmidt and Kramaric?

Hmm, these players all look pretty good.

And then there's Nagelsmann, who's 28 years old.

Although he is young and his tactics are sometimes quite immature, he also likes to take risks. He often ends up focusing on the front but neglecting the rear, beating his opponents black and blue in the first half, only to be kicked in the backside by his opponents in the second half after making adjustments.

But overall, Nagelsmann is really good.

The tactics are advanced, the playing style is attractive, and most importantly, the results are good.

After all 34 rounds of the season were played, everyone looked at the standings.

What the hell!

When did Eintracht Frankfurt, who were previously at the bottom of the relegation zone, quietly climb to 4th place in the league?

Although they are now 5 points behind third-placed Bayer Leverkusen, it's still amazing!

Bild did the math.

In the second half of the league season, a total of 51 points were accumulated across 17 rounds.

Frankfurt scored a whopping 42 points.

Many people may not have a concept of this number.

Let's find a reference point.

As a Bundesliga powerhouse, Bayern Munich also earned 42 points in the second half of the season, with 17 rounds of matches.

In other words, excluding their poor performance in the first half of the season, looking only at the second half, Frankfurt's record is exactly the same as Bayern Munich's.

What about Borussia Dortmund?

The Hornets only managed 37 points in the second half of the season, trailing Frankfurt by 5 points.

This means that Frankfurt's points-scoring efficiency in the second half of the season is comparable to that of the most powerful teams in the Bundesliga.

This is absolutely outrageous!
As Kicker magazine said in its season summary.

It turns out that in the world of football, there really are people who can turn the tide with a flick of their wrist!
Yang Cheng used his incredible operational skills to help Eintracht Frankfurt become one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga in just six months.

Players such as Naby Keita, Lobotka, Kramaric, Süle, Rebic, and Tomas Soucek all demonstrated their exceptional abilities in the second half of the season, proving Yang Cheng's transfer management skills.

How many more gems like these are hidden within the Chinese scouting system at Baswater?
This has become the most discussed topic among all media outlets, fans, and even football professionals worldwide.

In just six months, Eintracht Frankfurt has transformed itself from the bottom of the table to a near-Champions League team.

After these six months, no one doubts Yang Cheng's management skills anymore.

In just six months, they were able to revive Eintracht Frankfurt, the bottom-ranked team in the Bundesliga.

Given more time, he could really build a top team in the Bundesliga that rivals Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

If the Bundesliga can do this, can Malaga in La Liga do the same?
Atalanta in Serie A and Nice in Ligue 1 have both won league titles and have long been among the top teams in their respective leagues.

They have already proven themselves.

……

Palmeiras in the Brazilian league has also proven itself.

And Ten Hag, the Dutchman who coached Palmeiras, and his assistant team.

Last season, Palmeiras won the São Paulo State Championship and later the Brazilian Serie A Championship.

Ten Hag impressed everyone in his first season coaching in the Brazilian league.

By the 2016 season, Palmeiras' performance had become more composed and confident.

The players have become increasingly familiar with Ten Hag's tactics, which are considered advanced even in top European leagues, and their performances have improved accordingly.

Palmeiras players have also gradually shown a tactical style that is completely different from other Brazilian teams.

The players clearly place more emphasis on teamwork and passing than other Brazilian teams, and they also have a better understanding of football tactics.

Everyone knows that Brazilian teams generally don't pay much attention to tactics.

For them, tactics simply mean putting players in positions that suit them and then letting them play freely.

But in Palmeiras, all the Brazilian Serie A teams and Brazilian fans rarely get to see how European teams actually operate and play.

Attack and defense, advance and retreat, each have their own rules and methods.

If Palmeiras' performance last season was merely a trial run, then this season, Ten Hag has led his team on a meteoric rise, seemingly cutting through everything in their path.

The forwards, including Jesus, Neres, Richarlison, and Luis Diaz, all displayed amazing skills, helping the team to sharply break through the defenses of all opponents on the field.

Midfielders such as Gerson, Paqueta, Joelinton, Arthur, and Bruno Guimarães helped the team firmly control the midfield, suppress the opponent, and constantly supply ammunition to the attacking players in the front.

Needless to say, the defense is in even worse shape.

Brazilians have never valued defense.

Palmeiras's cohesive defensive approach has not only generated a huge response in Brazil, but has also performed exceptionally well throughout South America, attracting considerable attention.

As the reigning Brazilian Serie A champions, Palmeiras are eligible to participate in this season's Copa Libertadores.

In the group stage, Palmeiras outperformed traditional South American powerhouses such as Rosario Central, Colo-Colo, and Nacional of Uruguay to advance to the knockout stage as group winners.

In the round of 16, they thrashed River Plate 7-1 on aggregate over two legs.

In the quarterfinals, they defeated Atlético Nacional 1-0 away and 3-1 at home, for a total score of 4-1, advancing to the Copa Libertadores semifinals.

After the draw, their opponent in the semi-finals is Boca Juniors of Argentina.

The time was in July.

In a phone call with Yang Cheng, Ten Hag expressed his confidence that he would make a big splash on both the Brazilian and South American fronts this season.

Yang Cheng could also tell that Ten Hah was now very ambitious.

He was eagerly anticipating that Yang Cheng would fulfill his promise and allow him to coach a team in one of the top five European leagues.

Little did he know that, due to Yang Cheng's acquisition, Palmeiras' outstanding performance in Brazil and South America had already attracted strong attention from many European teams.

The head coach, Ten Hag, has also begun to attract close attention.

And the labels that outsiders use to describe him are often preceded by a certain word.

Yang Cheng personally selected it!

This has become a golden brand in world football!
Any player handpicked by Yang Cheng, such as Naby Keita, Lobotka, Alberto, and Moreno, no matter how badly or poorly they performed before, would immediately shine as soon as Yang Cheng took charge.

There are also examples like Luca Toni, a veteran who has returned to his peak, and Immobile, who has regrouped after experiencing a slump.

It's safe to say that no one would doubt Yang Cheng's judgment.

The head coaches he personally selected often led their teams to achieve outstanding results.

All of this has made Ten Hag even more sought-after!
Yang Cheng's only requirement for Ten Hag is that he lead the team to the end of the season as much as possible.

That is, by the end of 2016.

Meanwhile, if Ten Hag wants to leave, then leave the two assistant coaches, Van der Gag and Schröder, behind.

In Yang Cheng's plan, once Ten Hag leaves the team, one of the two assistant coaches will be promoted to head coach.

With their abilities, they might not be considered very good coaches in Europe.

But in Brazil, there is no problem at all with the Palmeiras that is now in place.

Ten Hach has already agreed to Yang Cheng's request.

……

In the recently concluded season, Yang Cheng led the Chinese team of Basworth to the top of the Premier League and on their way to the Champions League title, winning widespread acclaim.

The teams he acquired also reaped huge profits.

Perhaps they won't all win the championship, but they all demonstrated amazing strength and made great progress after being acquired.

This earned Yang Cheng a lot of applause before the Champions League final.

The upcoming Champions League final will not only be Yang Cheng's last match as the Chinese manager of Beswain, but also the last game of his coaching career.

May 27th, the day before the Champions League final.

Yang Cheng led the team to the San Siro in Milan for training to familiarize themselves with the venue.

After training, Yang Cheng attended the routine pre-match press conference for the finals.

At the press conference, Yang Cheng answered questions from reporters about the team and the upcoming final.

Regarding his plan to step down from his position as head coach of the Chinese national team after the final, Yang Cheng made it very clear that he would not coach any team again, including the national team.

why?
"I need to devote more time and energy to work outside of the football field."

Yang Cheng is responsible not only for the FIFA Supervisory Board, but also for the affairs of various clubs, his own business, and his family business in China. All of these require his attention and care.

For Yang Cheng, he has already proven his coaching ability at Baswater Chinese.

He has no need to coach any other team now.

Moreover, it's somewhat unfair.

In fact, if this goes on for too long, it will definitely cause controversy.

Imagine if the president of the FIFA Supervisory Board led a national team to play in the FIFA World Cup and won the championship. Would that make sense?
If we don't win the championship... sorry, that's even worse!

The media will definitely criticize Yang Cheng then.

Look at them, they can only succeed in club competitions. When it comes to national team matches, their true colors are immediately revealed.

So what is Yang Cheng asking for?

Asking him to give up his position as chairman of the FIFA Supervisory Board for the sake of a so-called life extension? Sorry, he can't do it!
Yang Cheng had even begun to make plans.

In the coming years, he will gradually support some capable and ambitious individuals in China to join FIFA and then slowly take over the power that he has been transitioning to.

Of course, it's impossible to completely control FIFA.

However, Yang Cheng is confident that he can make his country's influence within FIFA become increasingly important over the next few years, or even more than a decade.

They even have the power to participate in major decision-making!
You should know that this is a power that even the United States doesn't have!

This will be a completely new track.

This had a very significant impact on both Yang Cheng and his country.

Therefore, he must give it his all.

Having lived three lifetimes and taught for so many years, Yang Cheng was very reluctant to leave this position.

But there's no way around it, his pursuit now goes beyond just winning on the football field!

Different goals, different tracks, so naturally the position must also be adjusted accordingly.

That is precisely why Yang Cheng is determined to win the final match, the Champions League final!

He has made it very clear to the players that they must win this crucial game no matter what.

This was also the last battle of his coaching career!
The Chinese staff at Besworth were united and highly motivated.

Everyone wants to win this ultimate battle for Yang Cheng!
