In the magical year of 2003, a brand new era quietly arrived.
Beckham went to Spain, and the Portuguese man called Little Luo joined Manchester United;
The ambitious Wenger led his Gunn...
Chapter 348 Double Standards! The best player in Europe! The perfect goal-scoring machine! Wenger is completely defeated! [Subscribe]
Starting from the 15/16 UEFA Champions League group stage, the rules for grouping have changed completely.
In the past, the Champions League was divided into different brackets based on European competition points, from high to low, with the top eight teams listed as seeded teams.
But now it is the defending champion and the champion team of the league with the top 7 points in European competitions.
Since Bayswater Chinese won the double championship of the Champions League and the Premier League, the 7 places were postponed and given to the Eredivisie, which ranked 8th in the European points.
PSV Eindhoven got a great advantage and entered the seeded team.
The other 24 teams will continue to be divided into three tiers according to their European competition points.
Is this grading rule reasonable?
In fact, it is not reasonable.
For example, PSV Eindhoven, which was promoted as a substitute, had only 58.195 points in the European competition, which was definitely a third-tier team. Now it has been moved to the first tier and has become a seeded team.
Zenit St. Petersburg, ranked 7th in the European League points, is definitely a third-tier team and is now also a seeded team.
Nice in Ligue 1, Benfica in Portugal and Juventus in Serie A are all in the second tier based on European competition points.
As a result, they are now in the first tier.
The problem that follows is that there are problems with the second-tier teams.
Aren’t there five Premier League teams playing in the Champions League this season?
Except for the defending champion and seeded team Bayswater Chinese, the other four teams are all in the second tier.
This is outrageous.
So much so that when the Champions League bracket was announced, everyone could see it at a glance.
Who are the remaining 4 teams in the second pot?
Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Porto and Paris Saint-Germain.
Bayswater Chinese must be drawn from one of these four teams.
I was luckier and drew Paris Saint-Germain.
Although this French Ligue 1 team has many stars, its overall strength is not very strong and is weaker than the two Madrid giants.
Head coach Blanc does not have much experience in the Champions League, but he can still bully the newcomers.
Or Porto.
Meeting the two giants of La Liga would be the most troublesome.
With a 50-50 probability, Bayswater Chinese drew Porto.
After avoiding the two Madrid giants and drawing Porto, the third and fourth tier draws became very easy.
It doesn't matter who you meet.
The third tier was drawn to the powerful French Ligue 1 team Lyon.
The fourth tier was drawn to Bundesliga's Borussia Mönchengladbach.
To sum up, the fortune in the lottery is average.
We didn't encounter strong teams like the two Madrid clubs, but Porto, Lyon and Borussia Mönchengladbach are also quite strong.
Yang Cheng was sitting below, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the lot he drew.
Anyway, his luck has always been average.
Teams like Astana and Maccabi Tel Aviv that give away kills have basically nothing to do with us.
Besides, from the perspective of overall strength, the Chinese team in Bayswater is completely suppressed by Porto, Lyon and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
As long as there are no unexpected events, there should be no suspense about the group's first place qualifying.
Even with the current classification rules, I still feel a little awkward.
There is also the issue of the Europa League champion playing in the Champions League, which is a bit problematic.
In today's Premier League, the competition for the top four is too fierce.
It is conceivable that those teams that cannot play in the Champions League will definitely try their best to fight for the Europa League championship.
5 Premier League teams participate in the Champions League. Do you know how much less money they can earn in a year?
Some explanation is necessary here.
In addition to match days and tickets, the income from participating in the Champions League mainly comes from two parts from UEFA.
One is the appearance fee and competition bonus.
That is, how much money is paid for participating in a game, how much money is paid for advancing, how much money is paid for winning, how much money is paid for a draw...
Another part is the broadcasting fee, which is what many people call the bonus pool.
The prize pool for each league is different and is divided among the participating teams in that league. Of course, results will also be taken into consideration, but there is a basic base.
So in theory, the fewer participating teams, the more money they will get in the prize pool.
The most outrageous one should be Juventus.
Previously, because no other Serie A team advanced to the round of 16 and all were eliminated in the group stage, the Zebras monopolized most of the Italian bonus pool income several times and made a lot of money.
The Premier League's prize money is the largest of all leagues.
In the past, it was shared by 4 teams, but now it has to be shared by 5 teams, which will definitely be a big loss.
Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese thought about it themselves and realized that at least several million pounds were missing.
It is conceivable that such situations will become more common in the future.
Compared to competing for the top four in the league, winning the Europa League is obviously easier.
…
After the draw, the most watched award ceremony for the best European player will take place.
The top three players this year are Messi, Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
The three players are ranked in no particular order.
Needless to say, Gareth Bale and Messi are the top stars of the Champions League champions and runners-up.
Cristiano Ronaldo got the third spot thanks to his numerous goals for Real Madrid.
These are also the three players with the highest voices for this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or.
According to the rules, the top three players entered the second round of voting, which was conducted by 54 media reporters on site.
What is different from previous years is that several other awards have been added this year.
The best goal award was given to Messi of Manchester City.
After joining the Premier League, the Argentine completely cleared up everyone's doubts about him. Not only did he integrate into the Premier League, but he also performed very well and led Manchester City all the way to the Champions League final.
But the best save went to Courtois of Bayswater Chinese.
The Belgian goalkeeper is now one of the world's top goalkeepers and has performed quite steadily.
The key is that he is not old, he is only 23 years old.
If we take Courtois' height and characteristics into consideration, and look at his career as a goalkeeper, he still has at least 10 years of golden years ahead of him, which makes the outside world have a very high opinion of Courtois.
The two major awards, Best Goal and Best Save, are all voted for by fans online.
It can be said that most of the votes were cast for the most popular players.
Another award was for the best female football player in Europe, which was given to Sevilla female football player Sasic.
In terms of women's football, Spain is indeed ahead and is indeed very strong.
In the final award, 54 reporters on the scene voted, and the result was that Gareth Bale was once again elected the best player in Europe.
The Welsh received 33 votes out of 54, giving them a majority.
Messi received 11 votes and Ronaldo received 10 votes.
When the final votes for the three players came out, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
As UEFA's vice-president for club competitions, Van Praag presented the award to Gareth Bale on behalf of UEFA.
The Welshman excitedly raised the trophy engraved with his name.
When giving his acceptance speech afterwards, the Welshman repeatedly stated that he could do better.
"I have to thank all my teammates, coaches and staff at Bayswater Chinese here!"
"Without you, I would never be here today!"
In addition, Gareth Bale promised that he would continue to work hard and hope to be in better form this season.
Yang Cheng, who was sitting in the audience, saw it very clearly.
When Gareth Bale made the promise, his eyes were looking at himself.
He knew that the Welsh wanted to give him a decent gift!
That's good!
At the very least, all the efforts he has put into this team, this group of players and Gareth Bale over the past few years have not been in vain.
…
We returned triumphantly from Monaco, taking away two awards and also drawing a relatively good result.
The whole of Britain is singing the praises of Gareth Bale.
He has won the European Player of the Year award for two consecutive years, especially this season, beating Ronaldo and Messi to win the award. The value of this award is absolutely amazing and it has further consolidated Gareth Bale's position in world football.
At the same time, it also laid a very solid foundation for the upcoming FIFA Ballon d'Or campaign.
It is not a major competition year, and with the Champions League and Premier League double in hand, with the strong support of the Chinese in Bayswater, he has now won the title of Europe's best player, which is known as the vane of the Ballon d'Or.
It can be said that Gareth Bale is the undisputed number one favorite.
Yang Cheng led the team to fly from London to Nice, and then from Nice to Monaco.
But this time, Yang Cheng was not on the plane from Nice to London.
He stayed in Monaco.
The French Ligue 1 team encountered a problem at the start of the new season.
In the first four rounds of games, the team had 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, including a home loss to Monaco.
Pochettino's start to the Ligue 1 season was indeed not ideal.
Yang Cheng took the time to stay just to communicate with Pochettino and exchange some views.
Especially for this Nice team.
Based on Yang Cheng's opinion of Nice, this team is not strong enough to play like this.
Of course, Yang Cheng also has absolute trust in Pochettino.
He is like a tactical consultant, responsible only for making suggestions and providing some references to Pochettino.
After staying in Nice for two days, Yang Cheng set off for Zurich.
FIFA's reform is progressing in an orderly manner.
As an "outsider", Yang Cheng is mainly responsible for supervising the affairs of the Supervisory Board and the business progress of the reform team.
As for other things, he basically doesn't get involved.
Not to mention appearing in the media.
But it's very lively outside.
As the UEFA presidential election draws closer, various news continue to come out.
The first is the situation.
The election has not yet started, but Ceferin has already received public support from 33 of the 55 member states.
It can be said to be an overwhelming advantage.
How much does Van Praag get as a competitor?
There were only three people who were willing to publicly support Van Praag.
Netherlands, Belgium and Iceland.
This is a completely asymmetrical "duel".
The most crucial reason is that the small countries with the most votes resist Van Praag.
What's even more outrageous is that all the football powers in Western Europe that were supposed to support Van Praag have turned to support Ceferin.
Including England.
This is something very interesting.
When Yang Cheng communicated with David Gill privately, he also reminded him to pay close attention to this.
When Ceferin was promoting his campaign slogan, he was cursing the powerful countries in Western Europe, especially criticizing the five major leagues.
For example, he believes that according to the agreement reached at the UEFA meeting, England, Spain, Germany and Italy will each have four Champions League seats, for a total of 16 seats.
There is no need to even play in the qualifiers and they can go straight to the group stage. This is extremely outrageous.
"This is at the expense of many leagues like my native Slovenia."
"Slovenia has only 2 million people, but we need to be respected too!"
Listen to what others say.
Those small countries with votes must be very happy to hear this.
This is our own people!
Netherlands?
That is a developed country in Western Europe and a football powerhouse!
However, Ceferin's campaign was not all smooth sailing.
At the beginning of the campaign, he kept emphasizing that he owned a large law firm in Slovenia, and that he himself came from a famous Slovenian lawyer family. His father and brother were both famous Slovenian lawyers.
As a practicing lawyer for 25 years, Ceferin has defended the families of construction tycoon Zidar, Ljubljana Mayor Jankovic and his son, former Slovenian Prime Minister Bratusek.
This is all public information.
He is indeed not an ordinary person.
But before the election, his resume was dug up and exposed.
Suspected of fraud!
According to the election rules of the Slovenian Football Association, those who want to run for high-ranking positions such as the president or vice president of the Football Association must have at least five years of experience in the football industry.
But the amazing thing is that Ceferin’s football experience is exactly 5 years, neither more nor less.
He worked for Ljubljana Olympic Team from 2006 to 2011 as a director.
It is these five years that make him qualified to run for the presidency of the Slovenian Football Association.
Is this a coincidence?
Some media went to Slovenia to investigate and found out that Ceferin had indeed cooperated with the club since 2006, but he was only an extra-staff legal advisor and did not hold an internal position in the club.
He actually joined the club in 2010 as a director.
In other words, his actual experience in football is only less than a year.
The chairman of Ljubljana Olimpica, Francis Zafer, is now the vice-president of the Slovenian Football Association and Ceferin's right-hand man.
As early as 2011, when Ceferin ran for chairman, he was investigated for his resume.
But a law school in Nova Gorica issued a certificate recognizing Ceferin's resume.
Interestingly, Ceferin's brother was a teacher at this law school.
It was with this certificate that Ceferin successfully made the list of candidates.
What’s even more coincidental is that he had almost no competitors and was elected directly.
Media reporters questioned Ceferin's resume!
Too many coincidences.
From five years of working experience to participating in the election, every step of Ceferin seemed to be on point.
He was elected president of Slovenia in 2011 and successfully re-elected in 2015. He also seized the opportunity of Platini's downfall and decisively ran for election. Now he has become the number one favorite for UEFA president.
Is there really no problem here?
All coincidences are just coincidences?
Nobody knows.
Ceferin didn't even respond to this.
After the news report came out, it was only a hot topic for two days, without causing any waves, and then it quickly disappeared.
On September 8, Yang Cheng, accompanied by David Gill and others, flew from Zurich, Switzerland to the Mediterranean island country of Malta.
On the 10th and 11th, the UEFA electoral conference will be held in Malta.
In fact, UEFA's Executive Committee had already held a meeting in June.
The main issue under discussion was deciding the venues for the 2017 Champions League and Europa League finals.
There are also some issues regarding the 2016 European Cup play-offs.
Another thing is to confirm the host association for a series of UEFA meetings in 2017 and 2018.
Just like this time in September, it was originally supposed to be an executive committee meeting, but it was temporarily changed to an election meeting.
This also requires some preparation time for the host Malta.
This includes how to welcome representatives from all member countries, as well as FIFA representatives headed by Yang Cheng.
As UEFA's "boss", FIFA will definitely send someone.
After arriving in Malta, Yang Cheng paid special attention and found that no one cared about this report at all.
At this moment, he knew very well that Ceferin's fate was decided!
In his campaign speech before the vote on the 10th, Ceferin, as usual, spoke passionately for weak countries and repeatedly stressed that he would maintain fairness after being elected.
For example, he brought up the so-called proportionality.
Ceferin pointed out that when imposing penalties, more consideration should be given to those UEFA members with financial constraints.
The same fine of 100,000 euros is really a lot for the Faroe Islands Football Association.
But for the football associations of wealthy Western European countries, it is a drop in the bucket.
At this time, we must take proportionality into consideration and appropriately reduce the pressure on the Faroe Islands Football Association.
What about when the bonuses are distributed?
Oh, let’s not talk about proportionality.
Yang Cheng suddenly realized that double standards like this are really everywhere!
It seemed as if Van Praag had already seen his own failure, so when he gave his campaign speeches, the content and opinions were actually quite unremarkable.
For example, he repeatedly stressed that he wanted to restore pride to football and prevent it from becoming a slave to money.
He also said that he has very rich management experience and can lead UEFA to achieve better results.
Coming and going, it’s actually the same old thing.
Comparing the two, Yang Cheng understood why they both chose Ceferin.
At the very least, they really promised to pay huge profits.
Van Praag was still shouting slogans.
If it were me, I would also choose Ceferin!
As it turned out, Ceferin ultimately received 42 votes out of 55.
Van Praag received 13 votes, a huge gap.
In Yang Cheng's opinion, in addition to the promise made by Ceferin, there is another very important reason, which he himself has repeatedly emphasized.
“I’m a new guy, not part of the old system, I have some new ideas, and I’m transparent!”
What about Van Praag?
The old Dutch man was simply unable to say these words, and instead repeatedly emphasized his own experience.
But this only adds to concerns about his relationship with Platini!
After being successfully elected, Ceferin also delivered his victory speech.
He once again introduced the reforms he would carry out during his future term.
Including the term of office of the UEFA president and senior management, reforms of some institutions, etc.
What caught Yang Cheng's attention was that he expressed his full support for David Gill's election as FIFA president.
This was also recognized by everyone present.
Subsequently, UEFA held a press conference to announce to the world the birth of the new UEFA president.
Alexander Ceferin, a lawyer from Slovenia, a country with a population of only 2 million, was successfully elected as the President of UEFA!
This represents UEFA's signal of reform!
At the banquet that evening, Yang Cheng also congratulated Ceferin on behalf of the FIFA Supervisory Board.
Ceferin expressed his gratitude to Yang Cheng for coming.
Next in October, UEFA will hold a general meeting in Prague, Czech Republic to elect new members of the UEFA Executive Committee.
At present, the three places from the European Club Association have been selected.
Andrea Agnelli of Juventus, Rummenigge of Bayern, Florentino Perez of Real Madrid.
They will all be "elected" at the October convention.
By then, Yang Cheng would probably have to go to the scene again.
He should be present both as chairman of the FIFA Supervisory Board and as a member of the European Club Association.
Just think of it as a funded trip!
…
After returning to London from Malta, Yang Cheng began to work intensively again.
The Premier League has reignited the war and ushered in the 5th round.
In this round, Bayswater Chinese will challenge Ranieri's Leicester City away.
In this game, the Tinker still used his best 442 formation.
Obviously, he hopes to take advantage of the influence of the national team's games and threaten Bayswater Chinese at home through defensive counterattacks.
There is no way, who can blame Bayswater for having so many Chinese international players?
Compared with Yang Cheng's previous life, the current Leicester City lacks Kante and Mahrez, but its overall strength should not be underestimated.
As soon as the game started, both sides played at the fast pace that is characteristic of the Premier League.
In the 9th minute, outside the penalty area in his own half, Drinkwater suddenly rushed forward, tackled De Bruyne and successfully intercepted the ball.
The Belgian midfielder was tackled to the ground, but the referee did not whistle for a foul.
Drinkwater quickly made a long pass, sending the ball directly behind the Bayswater Chinese defense line.
Vardy quickly moved forward and stopped the ball in the left rib area of the frontcourt. Facing Harry Maguire, Vardy made a wonderful pass and broke through Maguire. After breaking into the left side of the penalty area, he shot a low shot into the far corner with his right foot.
The ball hit the inside of the far post and went into the Bayswater Chinese goal.
1 to 0!
The King Power Stadium is filled with cheers from Leicester City fans!
They scored the first goal just 9 minutes into the game.
But the Chinese in Bayswater did not become chaotic because of this.
On the contrary, the team quickly reorganized, especially the midfield, which quickly stabilized its position.
The front trident is Gareth Bale, Giroud and Walcott.
In the 13th minute, Giroud retreated to receive the ball, turned around and sent a straight pass behind him with his left foot.
Walcott on the left quickly moved forward between Leicester City's right center back Morgan and right back Delatte, catching up with Giroud's pass.
At this moment, Walcott appeared on the left side of Leicester City's penalty area.
The little tiger calmly seized the opportunity and shot low into the far corner with his right foot.
The football went into the bottom of the right side of Leicester City's goal.
1 to 1!
In just 4 minutes, the Bayswater Chinese team successfully equalized the score!
But more importantly, the process of Walcott's goal was exactly the same as Vardy's goal just now.
This seemed like a counterattack to Vardy's goal just now.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
fair enough!
And in the 18th minute, Luke Shaw made a run from the back and passed the ball diagonally to the middle of the penalty area with his left foot.
As Giroud retreated to the outside of the penalty area, Gareth Bale quickly moved forward, grabbed the ball in front of the goal, and headed the ball into Leicester City's goal.
2 to 1!
Reversal!
Goalkeeper Schmeichel was so angry that he crawled up from the small penalty area and yelled at his teammates in front of him.
The outstanding goalkeeper was obviously unhappy with the consecutive goals conceded.
Especially the second goal.
The two defenders Morgan and Robert Huth were unable to keep up with Gareth Bale.
Why?
Because the Bayswater Chinese players are all running.
After reversing the score, the Bayswater Chinese continued to attack.
In the 33rd minute, Giroud pulled to the right to provide support.
De Bruyne passed the ball to the French center forward, who didn't turn around but just pushed the ball behind him with his left foot.
Kyle Walker made a high-speed run forward from the outside, caught up with the ball near the baseline, and sent a low cross to the front point.
Gareth Bale easily shot the ball into the goal in front of the right post and sent the ball into Leicester City's goal again.
3 to 1!
Scored twice!
Just four minutes later, the Chinese in Bayswater quickly launched a counterattack.
De Bruyne made a straight pass to Gareth Bale on the right side of the frontcourt.
After the Welshman stopped the ball and dribbled past Drinkwater, he took a step sideways, spotted an opportunity, and fired a long shot with his left foot.
This long shot was like a bolt from the blue. The ball was extremely fast. After entering the penalty area, it bounced off the ground outside the small penalty area. After bouncing up, the ball was even faster.
Goalkeeper Schmeichel had not expected the rebound at all.
Even though he leaned sideways, he still couldn't stop the ball from going into the left side of the goal.
4 to 1!
hat trick!
After the second half, just 3 minutes into the game, Leicester City's attack gave Bayswater Chinese a quick counterattack on the left.
Walcott and Luke Shaw made a wonderful combination.
Luke Shaw dribbled the ball along the left.
When he rushed to the left side of Leicester City's penalty area, he passed the ball to the middle.
Giroud turned near the penalty spot and shot with his left foot, sending the ball into Leicester City's goal again.
5 to 1!
At this moment, the Chinese in Bayswater have basically secured victory!
Afterwards, Yang Cheng immediately made substitutions.
Especially replacing Gareth Bale who has been in excellent form recently.
He has to save some energy for the Champions League next Wednesday.
…
Same in round 5.
Unlike Bayswater Chinese's 5-1 comeback against Leicester City, Chelsea unexpectedly lost 1-3 to Everton away from home.
Mourinho's team did have a bad start to the season.
The Gunners beat Stoke City 2-0 thanks to goals from Sanchez and Benzema.
In this game, Manchester City traveled south to London to challenge Crystal Palace away.
But it was not until the 90th minute that Messi, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal.
In the end, they narrowly beat Crystal Palace 1-0.
The focus of this round is the Red Devils derby.
Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-1 at home with goals from Blind, Pogba and Martial.
Especially Martial.
The French youngster's goal was very similar to Henry's. After getting the ball, he moved around the penalty area as if he was in an empty space, completely disrupting Liverpool's defense, and he also scored the goal himself.
This goal made Martial famous in the Premier League!
In the end, Van Gaal's team defeated Klopp's Reds 3-1 and won valuable 3 points.
After this round of matches, there are only two teams in the Premier League that have won five consecutive games.
That's Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City.
…
Three days later, the first round of the Champions League group stage.
Bayswater Chinese will host Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach at home.
Yang Cheng's team launched a fierce attack on Borussia Mönchengladbach from the first minute of the game.
In this game, Sterling played on the left and Gareth Bale still played on the right.
After the opening, Sterling was extremely active.
After just 5 minutes, he dribbled into the penalty area and caused a foul by Borussia Mönchengladbach's central defender Toni Jantschke.
The referee Pavel Kralovic from the Czech Republic directly awarded a penalty kick.
Neither Gareth Bale nor Harry Kane took the penalty, but let Sterling take it himself.
But what no one expected was that Sterling's penalty kick was saved by Swiss goalkeeper Sommer.
In this direct face-to-face contest, Sterling failed to keep his composure and lost to Sommer.
However, the young English player reacted quickly enough, took a step forward and kicked the ball into the goal again.
He missed the penalty kick, but then scored it into the goal himself!
This goal broke the balance on the field.
But Borussia Mönchengladbach reacted quickly and reorganized a tight defense.
The first half ended with the score at 1-0.
But just two minutes into the second half, Gareth Bale made an assist on the right, and after Harry Kane stopped the ball in the penalty area, he made a clever lob shot, which once again penetrated the goal guarded by Sommer.
2 to 0!
In the 58th minute, with an assist from Harry Kane, Gareth Bale broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot with his left foot, further expanding the score.
3 to 0!
In the 78th minute of the game, with an assist from Harry Kane, Toni Kroos shot the ball into the goal of Borussia Mönchengladbach with a long shot.
German midfielders always play with great energy when they are in their home country's team.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-0 at home.
In another match, Porto drew 2-2 with Lyon away.
…
This weekend, the 6th round of the Premier League.
Bayswater Chinese will host West Bromwich Albion at home.
Just five minutes into the game, Aaron Ramsey scored the first goal for the team by making a run into the penalty area.
In the 35th minute, Walcott scored again to extend the lead.
After the second half, in the 72nd minute, Gareth Bale, who came on as a substitute, received an assist from Walcott on the left and shot into the near corner with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area, securing the victory for the team.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-0.
This is Gareth Bale's ninth goal in the Premier League so far this season.
In 6 league rounds, 9 goals were scored!
The most important thing is that Gareth Bale only played 5 games and scored in all of them.
The Welsh's performance was truly amazing!
In addition, Walcott also scored again in this round.
The little tiger has scored in three consecutive Premier League rounds.
Yang Cheng spoke highly of the team's current outstanding performance.
Especially for Gareth Bale.
"He is undoubtedly in the best form of his career!"
Yang Cheng believes that Gareth Bale's performance is better than ever before.
"I'm not surprised at all that he's in this state."
"Because in the past period of time, he has always been the first person to arrive at the Brent Training Center and the last to leave."
Regarding the current Gareth Bale, Yang Cheng said that he is a perfect killer.
"In fact, if you look at his goal statistics this season, you can see that there are headers, long shots, left feet and right feet."
"He now has more and more goal-scoring skills and is getting better and better in physical confrontations, especially his muscles and waist and abdominal strength."
"More than one person has told me that Gareth Bale is turning into a perfect goal-scoring machine!"
"But I don't think so, he's not just a goal scorer."
Yang Cheng feels that Gareth Bale's dribbling skills are underestimated, especially his sense of rhythm with the ball.
"That long shot in the last round is the best proof."
"His dribbling, rhythm and power were all impeccable, and the shot he made at the end was also amazing."
Coming off the bench for 25 minutes, Gareth Bale had three shots but also three steals.
Yang Cheng believes that this is something that many people have overlooked.
“He’s not just a scorer, he contributes a lot on the defensive end as well.”
In the past six league games, Bayswater Chinese have scored 23 goals.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, they also won 4-0 at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The Bayswater Chinese's goal scoring momentum has been unstoppable this season.
This made many football commentators guess wrong before the season.
They originally thought that Hazard's departure would affect the offensive firepower of the Bayswater Chinese.
After all, last season, the iron triangle combination of Hazard, Harry Kane and Gareth Bale was the most threatening combination of Bayswater Chinese offense.
Especially Hazard's ball possession and advancement are an indispensable part of the frontcourt attack.
But what about this season?
Everyone suddenly noticed that Walcott had scored more goals.
Sterling has also become more active.
Even Salah was a sight to behold.
The attacking tempo of Bayswater Chinese was faster and sharper.
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "This is the credit of the whole team, not just the striker."
"He is a world-class player, no doubt about it!"
Yang Cheng spoke highly of Walcott.
"Not only him, but Sterling and Salah have the potential to become world-class players."
Yang Cheng believes that Walcott's greatest advantage lies in his mobility.
He is very fast, has a keen sense of positioning, and is always making inroads, which gives headaches to all the players defending him and can cause great trouble to the opponent's defense.
"Many people wonder why he can always get or create scoring chances because he is always running."
Yang Cheng made no secret of his satisfaction with the current lineup and his ambitions for this season.
"Continue to fight for more championships?"
"Why not?"
"We have the capability to do that, don't we?"
Yang Cheng's remarks also received positive responses from the players.
Everyone is working hard and wants to do their best to help the team and get more and better results!
…
Also in the 6th round, Arsenal suffered a heavy blow.
Lost 1-2 to Mourinho's Chelsea away from home.
But there is some controversy in this game.
First was the red card in first-half injury time.
At that time, Arsenal was leading 1-0.
But in the stoppage time, Mustafi and Diego Costa clashed and both of them received a yellow card.
Mustafi then gently pushed away Diego Costa, who wanted to shake hands with him, and the latter fell to the ground.
The referee gave another yellow card and sent Mustafi off with a red card.
Wenger was furious on the sidelines.
This is clearly an attempt to cause trouble, should he be given a yellow card?
After the second half, Mourinho's team equalized the score with a corner kick by Benatia.
But in the 79th minute, Cazorla committed another foul while defending and received another yellow card.
Boy, he already has a yellow card.
As a result, the Spaniard was sent off with a red card.
Wenger is completely furious this time!
As a result, Wenger was also sent off with a red card!
Who can I go to for justice?
Mourinho's team didn't win until the 92nd minute of injury time, when Arsenal player Chambers scored a goal, helping Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 at home.
In such a strong dialogue, there were 3 red cards and an own goal.
Anyway, Wenger's defense was completely broken!
After the game, the professor cursed at the referee Mike Dean.
In this round, Manchester City defeated West Ham United 2-1 at home.
Liverpool drew 1-1 with Norwich at home.

3 days later, the 3rd round of the League Cup.
Bayswater Chinese will visit Craven Cottage to challenge Fulham of the Championship.
Yang Cheng still played with an all-substitute lineup.
As a result, in the 33rd minute, with the assist from De Bruyne, Solanke scored the first goal for the team in the penalty area.
The goal lasted until the end of the game.
It is worth mentioning that in the second half, Yang Cheng replaced Declan Rice and Arnold one after another.
This is also the first time for the two young players to play for Bayswater Chinese.
Among them, Declan Rice replaced Casemiro.
Arnold replaced Kyle Walker.
…
This weekend, the 7th round of the Premier League.
The Bayswater Chinese visited Anfield to challenge Klopp's Liverpool.
So far this season, Bayswater Chinese seem to be unstoppable and have won consecutive games, but in fact a problem has been exposed.
And it is a very fatal problem.
That is, the pace of the game was slow in the opening stage.
In the Premier League, in the first 6 rounds, Bayswater Chinese only conceded 3 goals, and their defense was indeed excellent.
But two of these three goals were conceded at the beginning of the first half and one at the beginning of the second half.
This is actually a very serious problem.
It is easy to draw this conclusion if you pay a little attention to the overall performance of the Chinese in Bayswater.
Yang Cheng and his team had actually discovered this problem a long time ago.
Slow start!
This is a problem that almost all teams will encounter as they get older.
Ancelotti's AC Milan and Guardiola's later Barcelona.
They all encounter similar problems.
This is not a question of whether the players are focused or not, but many older players take a longer time to get into the rhythm.
Unknowingly, the number of veterans on the defense line of the Chinese in Bayswater has gradually increased.
Inevitably, this problem will arise.
But this problem was completely exposed by Klopp's targeted tactics when facing Liverpool.
Just 64 seconds into the first half, Coutinho assisted Rakitic and scored a long shot against the Chinese team in Bayswater.
Afterwards, Klopp's team defended tightly and, by exerting all their physical energy, they blocked the crazy counterattack of the Chinese in Bayswater and held on to the 1-0 lead.
Just three minutes into the second half, Klein made a cross from the right, and Coutinho fired a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but it was saved by goalkeeper Courtois.
But at the critical moment, Suarez arrived in time and scored a goal in front of the goal.
2 to 0!
The entire Allianz Arena was completely boiling!
Both goals came in the opening stages.
Klopp has firmly locked on to the weak spot of the Chinese in Bayswater!
The subsequent games seemed to be following the route designed by Klopp.
The Chinese in Bayswater were very patient in controlling the situation, organizing and planning the attack.
In the 66th minute, Piszczek made a cross from the right, Harry Kane shook off Skrtel's entanglement and shot from close range in front of the goal, scoring a goal for the team.
Just five minutes later, Marcelo broke through from the left and passed the ball to the back post with his left foot. Gareth Bale quickly pressed forward, overpowered Koulibaly, and headed the ball from close range into the goal guarded by Buffon.
2 to 2!
It’s tied!
In just 5 minutes, the Chinese players from Bayswater scored 2 goals!
But just when the Chinese in Bayswater launched a quick attack and wanted to equalize the score in one go, Liverpool launched a counterattack.
After Sturridge, who came on as a substitute, completed a wall pass with Coutinho, Coutinho made a juggling heel pass in the penalty area, and Suarez pushed the ball near the penalty spot in the penalty area, helping Liverpool to take the lead again.
3 to 2!
But in the 87th minute, Modric made a wonderful pass from the middle and Gareth Bale dribbled the ball on the right.
Even though the game was almost over, the Welsh players were still full of energy.
Gareth Bale almost dragged Kolarov all the way into the right side of Liverpool's penalty area and shot with his right foot.
Goalkeeper Buffon saved the ball with one hand.
But Harry Kane easily picked up the ball and sent it into the unguarded goal.
3 to 3!
In the end, Bayswater Chinese were tied by Liverpool away from home.
The two goals conceded in the opening stages completely exposed the problems of the Bayswater Chinese.
But the consecutive goals conceded after 65 minutes in the second half also exposed Klopp's Liverpool's problems.
Bayswater Chinese got their first draw of the season!
