Chapter 355 Aiming for the Quadruple Crown! The Treasure of the Town! Reversal! He is the most attractive guy in the transfer market! [Subscribe]

"Did Süle really go to Frankfurt?"

Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge asked sporting director Matthias Sammer in his office at Bayern's headquarters on Sebernerstraße in Munich, southern Germany.

"It was officially announced. Hoffenheim was reluctant to let him go, but Frankfurt used many methods to convince Sule."

After hearing this, Rummenigge was somewhat disappointed.

Niklas Süle, a 20-year-old central defender, is nearly two meters tall but has performed extremely well and has been unanimously praised by everyone in Germany and abroad.

Almost everyone concluded that he would become Germany's top central defender, or even the world's top central defender.

Everyone knows that Hoffenheim cannot keep such a treasure.

Hoffenheim is now in a difficult situation and has fallen into the relegation zone.

Even Hoffenheim itself has prepared itself mentally to lose Hummels.

Bayern, Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen...

Almost all the top teams in the Bundesliga want to sign this young central defender.

But before that, the message conveyed by Sule through his agent was that the player was unwilling to leave Hoffenheim at this time.

He wants to stay and help Hoffenheim avoid relegation!

It is precisely because of the players' wishes that many teams, including Bayern, have not taken action.

But no one expected that the players' minds would change so quickly in the blink of an eye.

"Everyone outside is very shocked and surprised. It is a bit too absurd to jump from a team in the relegation zone to another team in the relegation zone." Sammer smiled bitterly.

Sammer is an excellent central defender himself, and he is very optimistic about Hummels.

"In addition to returning to his hometown team, I probably also saw the support of the Chinese in Bayswater behind him!" said Rummenigge.

As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

The reputation of Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese is still very attractive in the world of football.

More importantly, over the years, all the clubs associated with this team have achieved success.

This has always been the most puzzling thing in European football.

No one knows what kind of magic this club has.

"Eintracht Frankfurt made a lot of noise during the winter break. In the past two days, they spent 1 million euros to sign midfielder Konrad Laimer from Salzburg Red Bull in Austria."

"Lemer?"

"He is 18 years old and a substitute in the midfield for Red Bull Salzburg. He played for the first team last season, but this season he started two games and played five times as a substitute. The rest of the time he was basically on the bench. I don't know what they like about him."

Having said that, Summer added one more sentence.

"I also checked our player database and found out that this player is a member of the Austrian U19 national team and his performance is actually quite average."

Rummenigge nodded slightly.

Being selected for the U19 national team at the age of 18 only proves that Laimer is quite good among his peers in Austria.

His performance in the U19 team was average, which proves that his ability is limited.

If it is in countries like Spain, Germany, France, etc. where youth training is excellent and there are many talented youth teams, skipping grades is still a bit convincing, but in Austria, it is indeed not very likely.

"The Chinese scouting system in Bayswater is really good. We at Bayern have studied it for many years but have never been able to grasp its essence."

"We have poached a lot of players from them in the past few years, but we can only get a glimpse of them. We can't replicate such a scouting system and network. There is nothing we can do about it."

Rummenigge regrets this.

But this kind of thing is common in European football.

For example, Monchi of Seville.

How many people wanted to recruit Monchi to replicate Sevilla's scouting system? Did they succeed?

This kind of thing is that you learn from me and I learn from you.

The competition between clubs, like business wars in the mall, is very simple and unpretentious.

"Over the years, those who have learned from the Chinese in Bayswater have basically not learned well." Summer was also speechless.

Rummenigge laughed, "But look at them, Nice in Ligue 1, Atalanta in Serie A, Malaga in La Liga, they are basically successful, the Eredivisie and Palmeiras in Brazil are also very good."

"Now it's Frankfurt's turn."

Others have not been able to learn it, but they have been successful by copying it themselves.

I have to say, there is definitely a so-called successful methodology.

The senior Chinese executives in Bayswater, as well as those who have left, have actually been discussing this issue.

Everyone is interested.

There are even people who specialize in giving classes everywhere by talking about the so-called success rate of Chinese people in Bayswater.

But no one can really learn it.

"Look at these teams. When they were acquired, the situations were completely different. When Nice was bought, many people said it was for the stadium, Atalanta for the youth training, and Malaga for the land."

"What about Twente and Palmeiras? And Frankfurt, they are all in the relegation zone."

"The way it is handled is also different. Other teams basically make small investments and get big returns, but in Frankfurt, look at the winter transfer market this season."

This year's winter transfer market is hailed as the worst winter break in history.

Why?

Because no strong team came forward to buy players.

Basically all the teams are not buying if they can avoid it and are tightening their purse strings.

Everyone is having a hard time.

But in this situation, Frankfurt suddenly entered the market waving a check.

The investment of more than 50 million euros directly stunned the entire European football world.

Everyone was shocked!

This is neither like Frankfurt nor like Yang Cheng.

Not to mention anything else, Yang Cheng has been running Bayswater Chinese for so many years. How much was the biggest transfer fee for a player?

Javi Martinez was poached from Athletic Bilbao in La Liga for 12.8 million pounds with a buyout clause of 16 million euros.

Even Toni Kroos...

Rummenigge felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the German midfielder.

But Toni Kroos joined Bayswater Chinese for a transfer fee of only 12.5 million euros.

Yang Cheng’s business philosophy has always been to make small investments, introduce semi-finished products, and rely mainly on youth training and player development.

From Bayswater Chinese to Nice, to Atalanta, Malaga and other teams, it is basically the same.

But this time in Frankfurt, he changed!

Naby Keita was brought in for 15 million euros and Niklas Sule was brought in for 15 million euros.

Some even say that the transfer fee Yang Cheng spent on Frankfurt during one winter break was more than all his transfers in the past decade.

Isn't this outrageous?

"Maybe it's because Frankfurt is in the relegation zone and he wants to avoid relegation," Sammer guessed.

Rummenigge laughed, "He is the hottest guy in the transfer market now!"

Summer also laughed when he heard it.

In this most bleak winter break in history, he actually spent more than 50 million euros. I can only say that Yang Cheng is awesome!

"I have a very strong feeling, especially based on my understanding of Yang Cheng, that as long as Nagelsmann does not have any problems, Frankfurt will surprise all of us in the second half."

Summer's eyes lit up, "You mean..."

"They are now 14 points behind Schalke 04 in sixth place and 16 points behind Borussia Mönchengladbach in fourth place. Do you think a miracle will happen?"

When Rummenigge said this, his eyes clearly showed anticipation and excitement.

Bayern has been the only team in the Bundesliga for too many years.

But the Bundesliga really needs some stories and legends.

Schalke 04 now has 17 points, but Bayern now has 46 points, a gap of nearly 20 points.

What suspense is there?

It’s gone long ago!

But if Frankfurt can really make a comeback in the second half, that would be a legendary story that would truly amaze the whole world!

More importantly, Yang Cheng will have an extra layer of halo.

"That's not possible. Even if Yang Cheng can really turn decay into magic, it's impossible for him to do this. How can he catch up with more than ten points in the first half?" Sammer thought this was logical.

But if it succeeds, it will be a legend!

"Let's wait and see." Rummenigge is actually looking forward to it.

"By the way, what is Frankfurt doing lately?"

"I went to Spain for winter training."

"Winter training in Spain?"

"Yes, Malaga."

Rummenigge understood.

Don’t Malaga and Marbella both have teams or training camps with Yang Cheng?

Frankfurt to Malaga, isn't that just like going home?

"Just wait and see. Even if we fail to achieve a legendary performance this season, next season, or at most in two more years, Frankfurt will become our strongest competitor in the Bundesliga."

Summer did not deny this.

He himself made the same judgment.

"By the way, I also received news that Nike is planning to increase its sponsorship fee for Frankfurt."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"In 2014, they gave up Jako and chose Nike, signing him for five years at 3 million euros per year. It is said that Frankfurt is preparing to negotiate with Nike and will definitely raise the salary, but the question is how much."

"Can Nike agree?"

"It should be. You know, Nike has a deep cooperation with the Chinese in Bayswater."

Bayern's sponsor is Adidas, and the two sides have cooperated for decades.

Just in May this year, Adidas renewed a sponsorship contract with Bayern until 2030, and the sponsorship fee was increased to 60 million euros per year, which is unique in the Bundesliga.

There is no way other teams would get such treatment.

For example, Peking University King Hamburger’s annual sponsorship fee is only 4.5 million Euros.

Schalke 04 often participates in the Champions League, and the sponsorship fee is only 4 million euros.

Their sponsor is also Adidas.

As for Nike, it currently sponsors five or six teams including Werder Bremen and Frankfurt.

But the sponsorship fees for these teams are not expensive.

The sponsorship fee Dortmund received from Puma is second only to Bayern.

But Rummenigge did not expect that Nike would be willing to increase the sponsorship fee for Frankfurt.

This American company is no pushover. They must have seen the market prospects and felt it was profitable.

"I also heard that Frankfurt has decided not to renew its contract with Alfa Romeo Automobile."

Alfa Romeo is an Italian car brand that has sponsored Frankfurt since 2013, but the sponsorship fee is said to be very low.

Because the business situation in the Bundesliga has not been very prosperous in recent years.

In the 12/13 season, Frankfurt even had a case of chest streaking.

In the past few years, streaking has occurred every season, and some teams have had to seek sponsorship from gambling companies.

Although there are many German companies, not every one of them is willing to sponsor football.

In terms of chest advertising, Bayern is still the only one in Germany.

"According to the information I have received, although the new contract of the Chinese players in Bayswater will not take effect until the 16/17 season, the negotiation situation may not be very good with the addition of Frankfurt, so in the next few years, Frankfurt may choose to recruit investors alone."

“And they are basically targeting companies outside of Germany.”

After hearing this, Rummenigge narrowed his eyes slightly and realized Frankfurt's ambition.

With Bayswater Chinese as the backing, Frankfurt's chess moves are truly eye-opening.

"You are indeed Yang Cheng!"

“As expected of Bayswater Chinese!”

Rummenigge sighed with conflicted feelings.

…

While the Bayern headquarters was sighing and lamenting, Yang Cheng was leading his team to face Crystal Palace at the Prudential Stadium in London.

This is the 21st round of the Premier League held on Wednesday.

After defeating Liverpool 3-1 in the first round of the League Cup, Yang Cheng began to make adjustments.

It mainly depends on the players' condition and physical fitness.

Next, the Chinese team of Bayswater will compete in four fronts: the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League. This will place higher demands on the team's physical fitness and condition than ever before.

Yang Cheng also discussed with the coaching staff to make appropriate physical adjustments in January.

The purpose is to allow the players to maintain better condition in the second half.

Because of this, Yang Cheng made a major rotation in the team's home game against Crystal Palace in the 21st round of the Premier League.

As a result, the team performed mediocrely at home.

It was not until the 58th minute of the second half that Harry Maguire scored the first goal for the team with a header from a corner kick, breaking the Crystal Palace goal.

This made Yang Cheng, who originally wanted to make a substitution, suppress his impulse.

In the end, the team won 1-0 at home.

…

January 16th, weekend, still at the Prudential Arena in London.

In the 22nd round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Leicester City at home.

We managed to get through the last round, but this time facing Leicester City, the situation is not very good.

The game was still quite close.

But in the first half stoppage time, Vardy made a quick counterattack and broke through the goal of Bayswater Chinese.

After the change of sides in the second half, Yang Cheng made substitutions starting from the 60th minute.

First, Walcott replaced Salah.

As a result, the little tiger seized an opportunity just 9 minutes after he came on the field. He received an assist from Giroud, scored the first goal for the team and successfully equalized the score.

In the 80th minute, Yang Cheng made his second substitution, Gareth Bale replaced Casemiro.

Just 4 minutes after coming on the pitch, Gareth Bale dribbled the ball on the left and caused a foul by Leicester City's right-back Simpson. He received a second yellow card and was directly sent off with a red card.

Afterwards, the Bayswater Chinese bombarded Leicester City.

In the stoppage time of the game, Gareth Bale received an assist from Sterling, broke into the left side of the penalty area, and shot with his left foot, scoring another goal for the team.

2 to 1!

Bayswater Chinese reversed Leicester City and won another 3 points!

…

Since Newcastle was eliminated in the third round of the FA Cup, they had no match in the third round of the FA Cup on January 19.

The Bayswater Chinese also had no competition tasks.

Therefore, before Christmas, the 17th round of the Premier League, which was postponed due to the Club World Cup, was made up on this day.

Yang Cheng led the team north to challenge Newcastle away.

The Chinese players in Bayswater still adopted a rotation strategy and the game was still bumpy.

But in the 72nd minute of the second half, Harry Kane, who came on as a substitute, stopped the ball in the penalty area, turned and shot, breaking Newcastle's goal for the team.

1 to 0!

Bayswater Chinese beat Newcastle away!

This is the fourth consecutive game in which we have only won by one goal.

The outside world has some comments on the performance of the Chinese in Bayswater in January.

Some people believe that the current situation of the Chinese in Bayswater is not very ideal and their performance is average.

The victory was purely due to the substitutions made by head coach Yang Cheng in the second half, as well as the brilliance of the substitute stars.

However, many people have pointed out that the rotation of the Chinese players at Bayswater has been quite intense in recent times.

Obviously, this is Yang Cheng adjusting the team's physical fitness.

1-0ism?

Doesn't exist!

The Chinese in Bayswater are now just stopping for a moment to catch their breath.

Besides, the Chinese in Bayswater now have a clear lead.

…

But in the 23rd round, Yang Cheng was forced into a 0-0 draw by West Bromwich Albion away from home.

Coincidentally, in another match, Liverpool narrowly beat Norwich 5-4 away from home.

Klopp's team thought they had secured victory after taking the lead.

Unexpectedly, after conceding three goals in a row, we scored three goals in a row starting from the 60th minute.

But Norwich scored another goal in stoppage time.

Adam Lallana scored the winning goal for Liverpool in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Whether it was Liverpool's narrow 5-4 victory or Bayswater Chinese's 0-0 draw, there was actually only one reason.

The League Cup semi-final second leg next Wednesday.

Liverpool, playing at home, will definitely fight back desperately after losing 1-3 in the first leg.

Both sides are holding back their strength.

The only difference is that Klopp's drastic substitutions in the second half worked.

Yang Cheng made substitutions in the second half, but Gareth Bale and Harry Kane failed to score against West Bromwich Albion.

In this round, Manchester United defeated Southampton 2-1 at home.

C Ronaldo opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the first half, but the Saints equalized the score in the 87th minute.

At the crucial moment, it was Ronaldo who stepped forward and secured the victory for the Red Devils in the 93rd minute.

After this game, a lot of voices were heard from the outside world.

The most important thing is still directed at Van Gaal.

As the world's top scorer, Ronaldo should get more support and more scoring opportunities.

Ronaldo himself said after the game that the team did not support him enough.

Without enough passes, even if Ronaldo can score more goals, it will be useless.

In London, West Ham United scored a goal in the first minute against Manchester City.

They took the lead twice, but the score was tied twice.

Aguero scored twice.

In the injury time of the game, Messi's goal helped Manchester City take away 3 points from the away game.

Arsenal, who have been in very good form in recent times, suffered a defeat at home this time.

Just 18 minutes into the game, Mertesacker was sent off with a red card.

This resulted in Wenger's team losing 0-1 to Chelsea.

Wenger was extremely dissatisfied with this and thought that the referee's red card was too harsh.

"If we play with 11 men we will definitely beat Chelsea!"

Mourinho pursed his lips proudly.

Why does this sound so familiar?

…

On the afternoon of January 24, at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt, Germany.

In the 18th round of the Bundesliga, Frankfurt, which is at the bottom of the ranking, will host Wolfsburg, which is ranked 7th.

Long before the game, everyone knew that this was a match of asymmetric strength.

Especially Frankfurt.

There was a major reorganization during the entire winter break, and the lineup was almost completely changed.

But even more important is before the game.

Several local fan organizations in Frankfurt are actively instigating fans to refuse to watch Frankfurt's games.

Many fans even returned the season tickets and game tickets they had previously purchased to express their dissatisfaction with the foreign investment in the Frankfurt club.

At the same time, before the game, many local fans protested outside the stadium, demanding that Chinese capital get out of German football.

They believe that being acquired by foreign capital is a shame for Frankfurt!

There is a very obvious data that can prove the embarrassment of this game.

Frankfurt, which is always known for its attendance, only had 36,000 fans in this game.

Please note that this number includes standing room tickets.

The total number of standing and seated tickets at the Commerzbank Arena reached 51,500.

The attendance rate was less than 70%.

This created the lowest attendance record in Frankfurt in nearly a decade.

Countless people are waiting to see the show.

Especially if Frankfurt is defeated by Wolfsburg at home, it will definitely become a big joke.

Moreover, this was also the first professional game for head coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was only 28 years old.

Out of caution, Nagelsmann still prefers to continue with the lineup of the first half in terms of starting lineup and tactical arrangements.

Still adopt the 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Hradecky;

Defense: Ochipka, David Abraham, Sule and Hasebe Makoto;

Midfield: Gasinovic, Naby Keita, Lobotka and Stendra;

Forwards: Waldschmidt and Alexander Meier.

It is not difficult to see from Nagelsmann's starting lineup that he actually still hopes to improve the team's original tactics and lineup.

After all, although there was winter training after the new players joined the team, many players had been in the team for a relatively short time and had little time to cooperate with each other, and they did not have enough tacit understanding with each other.

This can also be considered a competition strategy.

No matter how strong the team is, it always needs tacit cooperation to be threatening.

After the game started, the situation went relatively smoothly.

Frankfurt's overall strength has also improved significantly, and the teamwork is also pretty good.

But in the 25th minute, Wolfsburg's central defender, former Bayern player Dante, took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to score the first goal for Wolfsburg, breaking Hradecky's goal.

1 to 0!

This goal broke the deadlock on the field.

Frankfurt's coordination was somewhat chaotic and the team played without any order.

The first half ended with a score of 0-1.

This also confirms the speculation of the outside world.

Even the commentator of the Bundesliga broadcast thought, "Nagelsmann is indeed too young!"

"This team may even be worse than the Frankfurt team in the first half!"

There were also many fans booing at the scene.

Obviously not very satisfied with this result.

The game was in the afternoon, but Yang Cheng had to lead the team to prepare for the League Cup semi-final against Liverpool, so he didn't have time to be there.

But he was in the office, watching the live game with Brian Kidd and others.

He also noticed Nagelsmann's hesitation during the half-time break.

"You are still a rookie after all, and you still lack some confidence!"

Yang Cheng immediately called Frankenbach.

The latter immediately left the stands, went to the locker room, knocked on the door, and said a few words to Nagelsmann.

"Yang was watching the match live in London. He asked me to tell him two things: don't worry about it, just play with full energy, and the effect will be better."

Nagelsmann nodded heavily.

"Besides, he also said that we could just go for it, and he would take care of everything!"

This time, Nagelsmann looked up in genuine surprise and looked directly at Frankenbach.

It was not until the latter nodded solemnly that he confirmed that these two sentences were said by Yang Cheng.

This is to provide him with a safety net, give him confidence, and support him!

Thinking of this, Nagelsmann no longer hesitated when he thought of the score of 0-1.

Before the second half started, Frankfurt made the first substitution.

Diego Carlos replaced Gasinovic.

At this time, the team changed to three defenders and adopted a 3142 formation.

Three defenders: David Abraham, Sule and Diego Carlos.

In the midfield, Lobotka is in the back, with Ochipka, Naby Keita, Stendela and Hasebe Makoto in front.

The two forwards are still Waldschmidt and Alexander Meier.

This adjustment brought about a dramatic change in the entire situation for Frankfurt in the second half.

On the field, they directly suppressed Wolfsburg.

This made everyone's eyes light up.

Especially Lobotka, who was at the back, formed a small diamond-shaped passing formation with the three defenders.

This allowed Frankfurt to firmly lock possession of the ball.

Naby Keita and Stendela in the midfield kept pressing forward.

Frankfurt had an overwhelming advantage throughout the midfield and frontcourt.

But there was still no truly threatening attack.

In the 60th minute, Nagelsmann made his second substitution.

Kramaric replaced Waldschmidt.

After this substitution, the two forwards in the frontcourt began to exert their strength and performed more actively.

Frankfurt's entire tactics began to have a bit of offense as defense, and the two wingers also pressed forward.

As the midfield and backcourt locked up the ball, both full-backs were more active in advancing.

Wolfsburg could easily have found themselves in a very troublesome situation.

When the ball was distributed to the left and right full-backs, Wolfsburg's full-backs, who adopted a 433 formation, had to choose to move to the wing to defend.

But in this way, Kramaric and Alexander Meier can directly put pressure on the central defender.

Moreover, these two forwards have excellent ability to retreat and support and to make forward runs.

In the 66th minute, just 6 minutes after Kramaric came on as a substitute, Stendra assisted Alexander Meier to score a goal and successfully equalized the score.

This goal also made everyone in Frankfurt see the sweetness.

Just 7 minutes later, in the 79th minute, Kramaric assisted Alexander Meier to score another goal.

2 to 1!

The score is reversed!

This really shocked everyone in the audience!

The whole stadium was filled with thunderous applause.

From the second half, Frankfurt almost dominated Wolfsburg.

Unlike Frankfurt, which played in disarray in the first half, they were truly transformed in the second half.

But Wolfsburg head coach Hecking was no pushover and immediately discovered the problem.

A quick counterattack passed directly through the midfield to Schurrle's feet, who once again broke through Hradecky's goal and equalized the score again.

2 to 2!

One minute after conceding the goal, in the 80th minute, Nagelsmann made the third substitution of the game.

Thomas Soucek replaces Stendra.

The reason for losing the ball was that Stendela was not strong enough at the beginning and did not apply enough pressure.

Also, the midfield does lack some height.

After the last substitution, Frankfurt continued to press Wolfsburg and attack fiercely.

It was not until the 93rd minute that Naby Keita intercepted the ball in the midfield, suddenly dribbled forward, passed two Wolfsburg defenders in succession, and made a wonderful straight pass to Alexander Meier.

At this moment, Meyer has appeared in the penalty area.

The Frankfurt veteran calmly seized the opportunity and sent the ball into Wolfsburg's goal again.

3 to 2!

In an instant, the entire stadium was boiling!

Nothing can move fans more than goals and victories.

The mental state displayed by the players on the court cannot be hidden from the fans.

3 to 2!

Frankfurt reversed Wolfsburg!

But more importantly, this hard-fought victory gave us a glimpse of a completely different Frankfurt team.

Especially the entire second half.

Frankfurt almost always pressed Wolfsburg in attack.

This team has really changed!

At the end of this round, Hoffenheim drew 1-1 with Leverkusen at home.

Hannover 96 lost 1-2 to Darmstadt at home.

So, after Frankfurt got the valuable 3 points, its league points became 16 points, ranking 16th.

This is the ranking of the relegation play-offs!

After the game, the entire German media praised the game highly.

Not only against Alexander Meier, who scored a hat trick.

It's even more so for this brand new Frankfurt!

This team in the second half impressed everyone!

…

On the evening of January 26, Anfield Stadium, Liverpool.

In the second leg of the League Cup semi-final, Bayswater Chinese challenged Liverpool away.

The game was in the 45th minute and 13 seconds of the first half.

The officials on the sidelines just raised the sign for one minute of extra time.

The ball was on the right side of Liverpool's penalty area.

Buffon retreated to the goal line, ready to take a goal kick.

At this moment, all Liverpool players pressed forward.

Buffon kept urging the two central defenders Koulibaly and Skrtel to press forward.

This is just the first half.

But Liverpool has shown its determination to fight to the end.

Just like this game, head coach Klopp's starting lineup was the same.

4141!

Klopp fielded almost his strongest offensive lineup, leaving only Mascherano as a single defensive midfielder.

There are 5 attacking players in the frontcourt, plus two full-backs.

The determination shown by Liverpool in this game would be unstoppable by any other team.

Even a team as strong as Bayswater Chinese had to be contained and forced to take a defensive stance throughout the first half.

So, the score is still 0-0 so far!

In the stands of Anfield Stadium, Liverpool fans have been singing non-stop since the first minute.

This is their tradition!

At the same time, this is also the source of power for Liverpool players!

Even now, the Chinese in Bayswater still dare not be careless.

Yang Cheng also played as his main force in this game.

Because he guessed that this would be an extremely tough game!

If they don't try their best, it will be difficult for the Chinese in Bayswater to escape unscathed.

Buffon took a deep breath, quickly ran forward, and kicked the ball forward with a big foot.

At this moment, both sides have reached the center line.

Liverpool's defense even pressed to both sides of the center circle.

The ball went straight over the center line.

Rakitic was in the Bayswater Chinese team's half, on the left side of the bottom center circle, and he jumped up to head the ball, but the ball was slightly high.

The Croatian midfielder made a mistake.

But it's okay.

There are Suarez and Firmino in front.

Then I saw Suarez rushing over quickly, meeting the falling football and stopping it with his chest.

As soon as he stopped the ball, Thiago Silva next to him suddenly kicked the ball away in mid-air.

But at this time, Firmino ran over quickly and headed the ball again, trying to pass it over again.

At the critical moment, Van Dijk headed the ball back to midfield.

Henderson took the lead and stood on the landing point, trying to head it back to the center line, but Toni Kroos kicked the ball in time near the bottom of the center circle in his own half.

At almost the same time, Modric quickly moved forward at the junction of the center circle and the right side of the center line and kicked the ball.

The ball seemed to be stuck to Modric's feet.

The tacit cooperation between the two midfielders of Bayswater Chinese was simply amazing.

What is even more amazing is that after Modric unloaded the ball, he saw Mascherano rushing towards him, and he immediately passed the ball to the outside of the bottom center circle in Liverpool's half.

Almost at the same time, Toni Kroos came forward and made a diagonal pass with his left foot.

Liverpool's defense was closing in quickly, trying to intercept the ball near the center circle.

But this resulted in both sides being completely empty.

Especially the right side.

After Walcott caught up with the ball, there was no one guarding him. He dribbled into the penalty area and started running.

Koulibaly also tried his best to chase back. His speed was very fast, but the problem was that Walcott seemed to take off.

And the little tiger was also very smart. He did not do it himself, but suddenly kicked a cross when he rushed to the right side of the Liverpool penalty area.

At almost the same time, Gareth Bale quickly moved forward and arrived just in time to catch up with Walcott's pass in the middle before Skrtel.

In the middle of the small penalty area, Gareth Bale shot low with his left foot and sent the ball into the right side of the goal guarded by Buffon.

The whole process happens in the blink of an eye.

At this time, 45 minutes and 32 seconds.

From the time Buffon kicked the ball out to the time Gareth Bale scored, it took less than 20 seconds from start to finish.

The entire Anfield stadium exclaimed in amazement the moment the goal was scored.

The few Bayswater Chinese fans who followed the team to the away game cheered in the corner, which filled the entire stadium and even drowned out the Liverpool fans.

1 to 0!

Everyone knows what this goal means!

Yang Cheng was watching from the sidelines and clapped his hands vigorously.

He applauded Gareth Bale's goal and cheered Walcott's assist.

Also for Toni Kroos and Modric.

This clever cooperation between the two midfielders not only avoided Liverpool's pursuit and interception, but also quickly passed the ball to an open area, which led to Walcott's assist.

"They are really the treasures of our team!" Flick praised with a laugh.

Anyone who understands football knows the importance of Toni Kroos and Modric.

This is especially true for Flick.

Because he believes that these two midfielders will definitely be able to help him reach the peak of his coaching career!

…

In the end, Bayswater Chinese narrowly beat Liverpool 1-0 away from home!

With a total score of 4-1, we successfully entered the League Cup final.

In another match, Manchester City suffered an upset 1-2 at the hands of Everton away from home. After returning home, they conceded a goal but reversed the situation 3-1 thanks to Messi's hat-trick against Everton.

In the end, the Toffees were eliminated from the League Cup with a total score of 4-3.

As a result, this season's League Cup final will be held between Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City.

This is also the first time that Bayswater Chinese have entered the League Cup final since 2011.

…

This weekend, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese will host Stoke City at home.

Yang Cheng still played as a substitute and in the rotation lineup in this game.

But in the 19th minute, Salah scored the first goal for the team.

The assist was provided by Aaron Ramsey.

After that, the Bayswater Chinese firmly controlled the situation of the game.

There was nothing Stoke could do about it.

In the end, the team defeated their opponents 1-0 and successfully advanced to the round of 16 of the FA Cup.

Also this weekend, the 19th round of the Bundesliga was held.

Frankfurt will challenge Augsburg away in this round.

With the experience of the previous round, Nagelsmann is obviously more confident in this game.

They are also more confident when deploying troops.

As a result, the opponent scored a goal in 11 minutes after the start of the game.

But in the 36th minute, Naby Keita's goal helped the team equalize the score.

After the second half, in the 62nd minute, Kramaric received an assist from Keita and scored another goal for the team, overtaking the score.

Naby Keita scored the third goal for the team in the 74th minute.

In the end, Frankfurt defeated Augsburg 3-1 away.

As Hoffenheim lost 0-2 to Bayern away, Hannover 96 lost 0-3 to Leverkusen away, Werder Bremen drew 3-3 with Hertha Berlin at home.

So, after this round of games, Frankfurt got 19 points, the same as Werder Bremen.

However, thanks to the goal difference, Frankfurt surpassed Werder Bremen and ranked 15th in the Bundesliga.

In other words, Frankfurt has officially escaped the relegation zone.

The next round opponent is Stuttgart, which is ranked 14th and currently has 21 points.

The two teams can be said to be direct competitors for relegation.

…

Midweek February 2, the 24th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese challenge West Ham United away.

The Hammers set up a tight defensive formation in their home ground and tightly entangled the Bayswater Chinese.

The two sides fought hard until the second half, and finally in the 58th minute, Modric assisted Gareth Bale to score.

Then Giroud assisted Toni Kroos to score.

Bayswater Chinese beat the Hammers 2-0 away and won another 3 points.

…

February 6, the 25th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese host Norwich.

The team's performance is still not ideal.

But in the 45th minute, Van Dijk scored with a header from a corner kick, opening the scoring for the team.

Just six minutes into the second half, De Bruyne assisted Harry Kane to score.

2 to 0!

The team scored another 3 points.

At the same time, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, Frankfurt faced direct rival Stuttgart.

After two rounds of running-in and adjustments in the past week, Nagelsmann's team finally had a big outbreak in this game.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Stendela scored the first goal for the team.

Naby Keita scored another goal before the end of the first half.

Frankfurt entered the second half with a 2-0 lead.

After the second half, Stendela assisted Alexander Meier to score.

Then Kramaric received an assist from Keita and scored again against Stuttgart.

It was not until the 76th minute of the second half that Kostic scored a goal for Stuttgart.

But in the end, Frankfurt still defeated Stuttgart 4-1 at home.

In this direct dialogue between the relegation rivals, Frankfurt won a huge victory.

In the same round, Werder Bremen lost 1-5 to Borussia Mönchengladbach away.

Hannover 96 lost 0-1 to Mainz at home.

Hoffenheim lost 0-2 to Darmstadt at home.

After 20 rounds of games, Frankfurt has 22 points thanks to its three consecutive wins after the winter break, ranking 13th in the Bundesliga, 3 points ahead of Werder Bremen in 16th place.

At this moment, Yang Cheng was basically relieved about Frankfurt.

Whether from the course of the game or the results, Nagelsmann's team is gradually performing at its expected level.

In particular, players such as Naby Keita, Lobotka and Kramaric all performed very well.

Stendra and Alexander Meier also played brilliantly.

With the current momentum, Yang Cheng has every reason to believe that the possibility of this team falling into the relegation zone again is very small.

Unless Nagelsmann himself is crazy.

But with Peter Hermann's assistance, Yang Cheng believes that Nagelsmann should not encounter such problems.

Next, he will have to put aside the Frankfurt affairs completely and devote himself to the upcoming busy events for the Bayswater Chinese.

In February, the competition at Bayswater Chinese was very tight.

The Champions League has resumed, the FA Cup has reached the round of 16, the League Cup has reached the final, and the Premier League has entered the sprint stage.

The ups and downs in performance in the second half of January were more due to Yang Cheng's proactive adjustments.

The purpose is to start making efforts in February!

This time, Yang Cheng’s goal was very clear.

He is aiming for the unprecedented quadruple crown!
