Chapter 358: Entering the quarterfinals! Youth training victory! Ronaldo's lightning strike! The future of Bayswater Chinese [Subscribe]

On the evening of March 8th, Prudential Arena, London.

In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match, Bayswater Chinese will face Roma at home.

When the game reached the 13th minute, Casemiro successfully intercepted the ball in his own half.

After intercepting the ball, Casemiro took two steps forward and made a straight pass to Modric's feet.

The Croatian player was near the center line, with his back to the direction of attack, he stopped the ball, turned around, and then made a pass.

Salah on the right side had been waiting there for a long time. When he stopped the ball, he directly passed Roma's left-back Digne and completed a beautiful breakthrough.

After Salah passed Digne, he immediately dribbled the ball diagonally towards the penalty area.

The Egyptian winger broke into the right side of Roma's penalty area and was caught up by Roma center back Zukanovic. He made an abrupt stop and dribbled the ball inside with the outside of his left foot.

Just after avoiding Zukanovic, Salah sent a cross.

Giroud in the middle had already rushed past the goal and turned around quickly, only to find that the ball was passed quickly in front of him.

Giroud didn't kick.

Because he knew that this pass was not for him.

On the left side of the arc, Gareth Bale stopped the ball into the penalty area with the inside of his left foot, then accelerated and chased after it, shooting the ball with his left foot.

The football went straight to the lower left corner of the goal with tremendous force.

1 to 0!

The entire Prudential Arena cheered wildly!

90,000 fans rushed out of their seats and cheered for the players on the field at the top of their lungs.

Just 13 minutes into the game, the Chinese from Bayswater took advantage of a midfield interception, quickly counterattacked, broke through Roma's defense and scored the first goal for the team!

…

Just five minutes after the goal, Aaron Ramsey once again threatened Roma's goal with a long shot from outside the penalty area, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.

The Chinese team of Bayswater almost kept suppressing the Red Wolves in their home stadium.

Especially after the 30th minute, the scene became almost one-sided.

Roma adopted a tight defensive formation, but still allowed the opponent to create opportunities continuously.

In the 33rd minute, Salah received a straight pass from De Bruyne on the right side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot.

The ball hit the goalkeeper directly.

The Egyptian winger kept shaking his head helplessly.

Afterwards, Gareth Bale on the left used his speed to dribble the ball into the left side of the penalty area and made a sudden shot, but it was slightly off target.

The most beautiful attack in the entire first half came in the 38th minute.

Marcelo advances to attack.

Aaron Ramsey made a lob pass to find Gareth Bale who was moving to the left.

The Welshman turned his back to the direction of attack, kicked the ball with his left heel, and directly passed it to Marcelo who was walking on the flank.

The Brazilian left-back kicked the ball away before the defender, then suddenly started again, forced his way through Roma defender Maranos, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Maranos didn't dare to make any move against Marcelo.

After the Brazilian broke through, he passed the ball with his left foot low to the front of the small penalty area.

Giroud took the initiative in a physical confrontation, squeezed out Zukanovic, and shot with his left foot from close range.

The football went straight into Roma's goal.

2 to 0!

In the first leg, the score was 3-1 away from home, and then at home, the score was 2-0 in the first half. There was no suspense in this game.

In the second half, Bayswater Chinese still had firm control of the situation.

In the 50th minute, Bayswater Chinese put pressure on the frontcourt and snatched the ball again.

In a quick counterattack, Giroud passed the ball diagonally with his left foot to the unguarded right side of the penalty area.

Salah quickly moved forward and received the ball without any player defending him.

But the Egyptian's choice was not to shoot directly with his right foot.

Instead, after stopping the ball with his right foot, he wanted to hit it with his left foot.

The left foot is Salah's dominant foot!

But this adjustment missed the opportunity.

Digne returned to defense in time and blocked Salah's shot.

The Egyptian winger grabbed his hair in frustration, obviously very dissatisfied with the result.

This is the second time he has wasted a chance in this game!

"This kid still needs to practice his right foot!"

Frick glanced at Yang Cheng and smiled bitterly.

Yang Cheng nodded, "This matter will be handed over to you in the future. If you practice it well, he will definitely reward you."

"The awareness and idea were good. The two treatments and positioning were also good. It's just that the last kick was a bit ugly." Brian Kidd also laughed.

"By the way, Yang, do you think he looks like Di Maria back then?"

Once upon a time, Di Maria was only good at using his left foot, but later he worked hard to develop his right foot.

Of course, Di Maria's right foot is not that powerful. He can just do some simple ball handling and shooting.

But this is already rare.

It is not easy to train your weak foot.

"Not like that." Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head.

"Not like?" Brian Kidd was a little surprised.

"This kid's desire to attack is much stronger than Di Maria's. If we cultivate him well, I think he will become one of the most important scorers in our team in time!"

Yang Cheng's words stunned Frick and Brian Kidd.

This evaluation is high enough.

At present, the most important scorers in the Bayswater Chinese team are Gareth Bale and Harry Kane.

Walcott is pretty good too.

Yang Cheng had previously spoken very highly of Sterling, and the young player did not disappoint Yang Cheng's expectations.

Now, there is one more person named Salah in the list of people who can receive Yang Cheng's praise.

Bale, Kane, Sterling and Salah.

It seems that the future attack of the Chinese in Bayswater will depend on these four guys!

In Yang Cheng's opinion, Walcott is actually very good.

Even stronger than the peak period of the previous life.

But there is no way, the Chinese in Bayswater are too strong nowadays.

Walcott's technical characteristics mean that he cannot be compared with Sterling and Salah.

But he can be a very important player for the team.

In the future, when Sancho, Saka, Bellingham, Phil Foden and others grow up and start to stand on their own, Walcott can retire.

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead, that's how football works!

…

Yang Cheng's optimism about Salah was also reflected in his substitutions in the second half.

He replaced Gareth Bale with Walcott.

After the substitution, Salah was moved to the left.

This indeed soon created an opportunity for him.

In the 74th minute, after the Chinese from Bayswater intercepted the ball near the center line, Giroud received the ball with his back, turned around and sent a ball behind him with his left foot.

Salah used his speed to shake off Florenzi, drove straight into the penalty area, dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area, and shot with his left foot to score.

After missing two great chances in a row, the Egyptian winger finally broke his fast!

The fans in the stadium also gave their praise and cheered for the Egyptian winger's goal!

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Roma 3-0 at home and 6-1 on aggregate, successfully advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

But the situation of several other Premier League teams is not so good.

Arsenal beat Barcelona 2-0 at home in the first leg, but were defeated 0-3 by Barcelona away from home.

Because of Neymar's transfer incident, Barcelona's current state is very unstable.

But even so, Luis Enrique's team still beat the Gunners at home thanks to the outstanding performances of Lewandowski and Mahrez.

But everyone is also worried about Barcelona's prospects.

Van Gaal's Manchester United was defeated twice by Zidane's Real Madrid in the two rounds, with scores of 1-2 and 0-2 respectively.

The Red Devils are not in an ideal situation this season.

In particular, conflicts have arisen between Ronaldo, Pogba and Van Gaal, resulting in instability in Manchester United's current locker room.

This also affected the results to some extent.

By the way, Benítez’s coaching career at Real Madrid ultimately did not last until the winter break.

Just as 2016 began, Real Madrid announced that Benítez was dismissed.

Zidane replaced Benítez.

After the first half of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester City once again faced Pochettino's Nice in the round of 16 this season.

After selling a number of stars, Nice is no longer as strong as it was last year.

After a tenacious 0-0 draw with Manchester City at home, Nice suffered a 1-3 defeat away from home.

Guardiola's Blue Moon advanced to the quarterfinals without any trouble.

If we talk about the most surprising match in the Champions League round of 16, it must be Mourinho's Chelsea against Gasperini's Atalanta.

Atalanta advanced as the second in the group, finishing below Real Madrid in the group stage.

The first leg of the match between the two sides was held at the San Siro Stadium in Italy.

Immobile's goal in the 39th minute of the first half helped Atalanta take the lead.

But Mourinho's team equalized the score before the end of the first half through Diego Costa.

After that, both sides were unable to capture the city and the situation remained at a stalemate.

It was not until the 88th minute that Gasperini replaced the center forward Milik.

At this time, Atalanta formed a double center forward of Milik and Immobile in the frontcourt.

Together with Felipe Anderson and Kingsley Coman on the two flanks, they launched a bombardment mode on Chelsea's two flanks.

The double centers also continued to exert pressure in the penalty area.

Finally, in the 88th minute, Felipe Anderson assisted and Milik scored another goal for the team.

2 to 1!

Atalanta beat Chelsea at home in the first leg!

In the second leg at Stamford Bridge, in the 16th minute of the game, Immobile assisted Bruno Fernandes to score the first goal for the team, scoring a crucial away goal.

This goal is crucial for Atlanta!

Chelsea began to counterattack.

In the 27th minute, Diego Costa received an assist from William and equalized the score for the team.

In the 67th minute, Felipe Anderson assisted and Immobile scored, locking the score at 2-1!

At this time, the total score became 4 to 2.

More importantly, Atalanta has 2 away goals.

If Chelsea want to reverse the situation, they must score 3 goals.

The end of the game turned into Chelsea's fierce bombardment and Atalanta's tenacious defense.

The final score is still 2 to 1!

Atalanta defeated Chelsea twice with a score of 2-1 in two rounds!

This battle made Gasperini's young guards shock the entire European football world!

At the same time, everyone was amazed at the operational capabilities of Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese.

In the previous two seasons, veteran Luca Toni performed very well and can be said to be still in good shape.

By this season, Luca Toni's performance has declined rapidly, but Immobile, who has been performing poorly in the Bundesliga, was signed from Dortmund.

Unexpectedly, Immobile once again made a full comeback in Serie A and scored goals like crazy.

Today, Atalanta is dominating the Serie A.

Especially in the 28th round of Serie A that just ended, Atalanta defeated Juventus 2-0 with goals from Rudiger and Bonaventura.

This season, the Zebras were defeated twice in two rounds, both times with a score of 2-0!

It was with this victory that Atalanta reversed Juventus with a 1-point advantage and topped the Serie A standings.

There are only 10 games left in the Serie A, but Atalanta's performance this season has been amazing enough.

Especially Immobile.

The return of this local center completely filled the vacancy left by Luca Toni.

Now, Atalanta has eliminated Chelsea in the round of 16 of the Champions League and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

They are the only team to reach the quarterfinals in Serie A this season.

In the round of 16, Juventus lost to Bayern Munich with a total score of 4-4, conceding two goals in overtime.

After the draw, Atalanta drew Real Madrid.

The Chinese team from Bayswater drew Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona drew with Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1.

Bayern drew Guardiola's Manchester City.

Anyone can see that the overall performance of Premier League teams this season has declined significantly compared to before.

At the beginning of the season, five teams participated in the Champions League, which was highly anticipated by Premier League fans.

Some even say that it is very likely that all five Premier League teams will make it to the quarterfinals.

But in the end, only two teams made it to the quarterfinals.

This has to be said to be quite surprising.

Ultimately, in addition to the Premier League teams expending too much energy in the league, there are also problems with the teams themselves.

If Arsenal and Barcelona are on par with each other in strength and their elimination is more due to tactical reasons, then Chelsea and Manchester United were eliminated more due to problems within the teams themselves.

The conflict between Van Gaal and big-name stars such as Ronaldo and Pogba is becoming increasingly intense.

When he was coaching Barcelona, Van Gaal did not get along well with stars such as Riquelme, and his poor relationship with big-name players has always been Van Gaal's weakness.

Now, it has also broken out in Manchester United.

As for Mourinho's Chelsea, the problems are also very obvious.

Almost everyone thinks that Mourinho will be sacked from Chelsea after the end of this season.

This also led to consecutive setbacks for Premier League teams in the Champions League this season.

But the advancement of Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City still saved the face of the Premier League.

On the contrary, in La Liga, all three strong teams advanced to the quarterfinals and are in high spirits.

…

On the evening of March 11th.

While other Premier League teams were competing in the 30th round of the league, Bayswater Chinese were facing the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Away challenge to Reading.

Reading's performance in the Championship this season has not been ideal and is currently ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Championship.

But Reading performed well in the FA Cup, having previously beaten West Bromwich Albion 3-1 at home.

This time, facing the Bayswater Chinese, Reading still adopted a defensive tactic and performed extremely tenaciously.

Reading's head coach is Brian McDermott.

The coach came from Arsenal's youth training camp and played as a striker for the Gunners in the 1980s, but was always a substitute.

When he left Arsenal, he had scored 13 goals in 72 games.

After retiring in 1992, he worked as a coach for teams such as Slough, Woking and Reading.

The last time Reading was promoted from the Championship to the Premier League, it was McDermott who led the team.

After being sacked by Reading in 2013, he worked as the head coach of Leeds United for a season. Since 2014, he has worked as a scout at Arsenal, responsible for observing the players Arsenal wanted to introduce.

Before Christmas of 2015, Reading performed poorly and hired him back into the team.

Such an experienced head coach used England's traditional 442 formation at home, almost using an iron bucket formation to face the Bayswater Chinese.

Yang Cheng's team did not give its best, but instead focused on rotation and substitutions.

But the situation has not been resolved yet.

Solanke, who had been performing well before, was also frozen out, and young players such as Sterling and Salah also performed mediocrely.

This stalemate continued into the second half.

Until the 66th minute.

Just when Yang Cheng was considering making a substitution, Aaron Ramsey stepped forward.

Although Aaron Ramsey cannot be considered a direct descendant of Bayswater's Chinese youth training system, he has been cultivated and supported by Yang Cheng since he joined the team.

The Welsh midfielder's performance has been outstanding and has been steadily improving.

Everyone said that it was somewhat unfair for him to stay in Bayswater Chinese and serve as a substitute for Toni Kroos.

With his strength, he would be more than qualified to be a main midfielder in any other Premier League team.

But Aaron Ramsey just likes to stay with this team.

Because it was Yang Cheng, and it was the Chinese in Bayswater who trained him!

In 2007, Aaron Ramsey, who was only 16 years old at the time, joined Bayswater Chinese.

He could never have imagined that he would one day reach the position in his career that he is at today.

At Bayswater Chinese, he won numerous championships and received countless accolades.

Although he was not the main player, he also made important contributions.

Especially when the team needs him, he always steps up.

Just like this time.

In Reading's 442 formation, the two midfielders are Michael Hector, who is 1.93 meters tall.

He is a Jamaican international, but was born in London and grew up in the UK.

and Northern Ireland international Oliver Norwood.

The tall and strong Hector fell behind, while the 1.75-meter-tall Norwood was responsible for stealing and clearing the ball.

The two players cooperated very well.

But Aaron Ramsey was prepared.

The Welshman was seen running back and raising his hand to ask Casemiro for the ball.

When Casemiro passed the ball, Aaron Ramsey leaned his body against Norwood, stopped the ball and turned around to get rid of him.

The whole movement is very graceful, like flowing water.

After turning around to get rid of the opponent, Aaron Ramsey quickly chased after him and kicked the ball forward before Hector could steal the ball.

This poke was just like a pass.

After passing the ball, Aaron Ramsey sprinted forward along the left rib.

Solanke retreated to a very deep position and received the ball with his back to the direction of attack.

Before he received the ball, he had already heard Aaron Ramsey's shout and immediately chose to knock the ball sideways.

The two completed a two-pass wall-to-wall combination.

Aaron Ramsey dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area and accelerated to catch up.

Center back Jack Cooper is 1.99 meters tall and he rushed towards Aaron Ramsey like a heavy tank, trying to use his body to block the Welshman.

Everyone knows that the enforcement in the Premier League has always been looser than that in the Champions League.

As long as it does not involve a foul that infringes on the player's body, it will generally not be too strict.

In the FA Cup, especially in matches like the current one where the Championship plays Premier League teams at home, the enforcement will be more relaxed.

Unless it is some dangerous action, it is basically avoided if possible.

If the law is really strictly enforced, Championship teams won't have to play anymore.

Moreover, Reading had already figured out the referee's enforcement standards.

Jack Cooper wanted to use his body to block Aaron Ramsey so that he could no longer threaten the goal.

But just before he was about to get close to Aaron Ramsey, the Welshman suddenly stopped.

The ball seemed to be stuck to his feet and was pulled sideways by his right foot.

Aaron Ramsey changed from going straight to the baseline to cutting in laterally.

Jack Cooper's attempt to rush over to block the opponent was completely in vain.

Aaron Ramsey pulled the ball inside and moved sideways one step.

Reading's other centre-back is Irish international Paul McShane.

The 30-year-old veteran, who came from Manchester United's youth training, is very experienced.

With a height of only 1.83 meters, he formed a tall and flexible central defender combination with the tall and strong Jack Cooper.

After seeing Jack Cooper miss the ball, he realized the danger and rushed over to fill the position immediately.

The two centre-backs work very well together and are the backbone of Reading's outstanding defence this season.

But in the extremely short period of time when he cut inside to pass Jack Cooper and McShane rushed over to block the ball, Aaron Ramsey kicked the ball directly to the right side of the goal with his right foot.

After picking up the ball, he was knocked off balance by McShane.

Plus Jack Cooper turned and pounced on the other side...

The unfortunate Welsh almost became a sandwich.

Although his lob shot was not powerful, the angle was very tricky.

The goalkeeper was standing on the left side and dived to the side, but failed to catch the ball.

The football hit the inside of the right goal post and bounced into Reading's goal.

It was not until this moment that the Reading fans' exclamations were heard in the stadium.

After Aaron Ramsey got up from the ground, he turned around and ran excitedly.

All the Bayswater Chinese players also chased out and celebrated the goal with him on the sidelines.

Yang Cheng also clenched his fists tightly on the sidelines and applauded Aaron Ramsey for his wonderful performance!

When he turned around, he was hugged by Brian Kidd and Frick, who rushed out of the court, on the left and right.

After attacking for more than an hour, we finally scored a goal against Reading!

It is too difficult to break the iron bucket formation!

"Remember, Hans, this kid can be relied upon at critical moments!" Yang Cheng said loudly, pointing excitedly at Aaron Ramsey who was celebrating the goal on the sidelines.

Frick nodded repeatedly to show that he remembered it.

Aaron Ramsey is actually very capable.

As many media and fans have said, he has the ability to gain a foothold in all Premier League teams, including the top giants, and even giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It’s not like there are no teams interested in Aaron Ramsey.

But the Welshman chose to stay.

He has been playing for Bayswater Chinese for almost 9 years from 2007 to now.

He is already familiar with everything about the team.

He feels that he can continue to help and contribute to the team.

This is the power of youth training!

At the critical moment, we need more youth players like Aaron Ramsey to step forward!

…

Aaron Ramsey's decisive goal helped Bayswater Chinese beat Reading 1-0 and advance to the FA Cup semi-finals.

After the game, this caused amazement from the entire British media and even the European football world!

The reason is that in the last round, the team defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away, relying on the winning goal from young player Kyle Walker.

In this round, the team defeated Reading 1-0 away from home, thanks to the goal scored by young player Aaron Ramsey.

In two crucial FA Cup knockout matches, the team won 1-0 thanks to goals from two young players from the youth training base.

What does this mean?

After the game, the Times wrote a special article, saying that this was the concept that the Chinese in Bayswater had adhered to over the years and that this was a victory for youth training!

"While other European football giants, and all the Premier League teams, were waving checks and buying recklessly, Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese always insisted on youth training."

How outrageous is it?

Apart from the three youth players Solanke, Arnold and Declan Rice, 15 of the other 23 first-team players are youth players of the team.

Pay attention, it’s not our own country, but our team!

In addition, there are quasi-youth training players like Pepe, Thiago Silva, Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Giroud and others who have made a name for themselves in the team.

There are also semi-youth players like Salah and Van Dijk, who performed well in Nice in Ligue 1 and transferred to Bayswater Chinese.

It can be said that the entire Bayswater Chinese team is almost entirely supported by excellent youth training.

In the last round against Tottenham, many people’s feelings were not very clear.

In this round, Aaron Ramsey helped the team beat Reading 1-0, fully demonstrating the strength of Bayswater's Chinese youth training.

The Times believes that Bayswater Chinese superstars are all home-grown.

From Gareth Bale to Harry Kane, from Modric to Toni Kroos, from Pepe and Thiago Silva, to Van Dijk, who is now known as the world's No. 1 central defender.

And there is Aaron Ramsey who saved the Chinese in Bayswater this time.

“Attaching importance to youth training has always been a fine tradition of the Chinese in Bayswater.”

More importantly, this group of youth training players are also very competitive.

From Sterling to Aaron Ramsey, from Kyle Walker to Luke Shaw…

Although central defenders Harry Maguire and John Stones are often criticized and make some mistakes, overall these youth players are indeed quite outstanding.

More importantly, in the past few years, the Bayswater Chinese Youth Team has always achieved outstanding results.

Especially the recent U17 team, which has players such as Sancho, Saka and Phil Foden, they are simply killing gods and Buddhas when they meet gods in European football.

U15 players such as Cole Palmer, Musiala and Bellingham also shined.

This makes everyone sigh at the abundance of Chinese youth training talents in Bayswater.

"Some even assert that, given time, the Bayswater Chinese youth training will be enough to form an England national team!"

The Times believes that when that day comes, the British royal family should award Yang Cheng an honor.

"Because he has made outstanding contributions to Britain and English football!"

…

While everyone was still paying attention to the FA Cup match, Yang Cheng's team had already completed their adjustments at the Brent Training Center.

The 30th round of the Premier League was played in the middle of the week.

The opponent is Tottenham Hotspur.

19 minutes into the game, Harry Kane assisted Gareth Bale to score.

In the 39th minute, midfielder Modric assisted Harry Kane to score another goal.

After the second half, Tottenham Hotspur winger Lamela scored a goal.

But in the 73rd minute, Modric assisted Gareth Bale to score another goal, making it his second goal.

After the 80th minute, Sterling, who came on as a substitute, received an assist from Kyle Walker on the right, adding icing on the cake for the team.

Afterwards, Sterling returned the favor, dribbling the ball inside from the left and making a wonderful pass. Kyle Walker cut diagonally into the right side of the penalty area and scored a goal against Tottenham.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at home.

When Yang Cheng met Ronald Koeman after the game, the latter had a look of resentment on his face.

"I now seriously suspect that you kicked me to death on purpose just because I left Nice!"

Yang Cheng laughed out loud when he heard this.

Of course that's impossible.

In fact, the last two goals were really beyond his expectations.

It’s mainly because Sterling performed well.

"How is it? You felt that you were fooled by Levy before, but now that the Qatari consortium has acquired Tottenham Hotspur, you can really show your skills!" Yang Cheng said.

Ronald Koeman has long been among the ranks of famous European coaches thanks to his outstanding coaching performance in Nice.

He has achieved good results leading Tottenham this season.

After the Qatari consortium acquired Tottenham, where can they find a better head coach than Ronald Koeman in a short period of time?

Mourinho from Chelsea?

Or Van Gaal who left Manchester United?

According to the information obtained by Yang Cheng, the Qatari consortium still wants Ronald Koeman to continue coaching.

The Dutch have probably received the news.

But to Yang Cheng's surprise, Ronald Koeman was not as happy as he expected.

"Do you want to hear the truth or just some polite words?"

Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows, did not answer, and remained silent.

What does this mean?

"In fact, after I started coaching, I found that coaching at Nice was the simplest. Other clubs were too complicated."

At the end, Ronald Koeman let out a mixed sigh.

If the coaching results are not good, everyone will blame the head coach.

There’s actually nothing wrong with this.

The head coach is the first person responsible.

But can the team's problems be solved if we simply blame the head coach?

It’s just like Manchester United in Yang Cheng’s previous life.

After Ferguson retired, famous coaches were fired one after another. Has the problem been solved?

To put it bluntly, is it only now that Van Gaal's relationship with big-name stars is becoming problematic?

In Yang Cheng's memory, Van Gaal seemed to have never gotten along well with big-name stars.

Bayern's Ribery?

It doesn’t seem to be that good.

Head coaches like Van Gaal, Benítez and Bielsa, who like to use players as tools, really cannot be given big-name stars.

Conflict!

So when something goes wrong, should we blame the head coach or the superstar?

Just like Manchester United now, Ronaldo and Pogba are not on good terms with Van Gaal.

Sandezi was happily counting his money in London.

The team's performance is not good?

What does this have to do with Sandezi’s bonus?

…

This weekend, the 31st round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Swansea away.

Due to the 30 make-up matches in the middle of the week, Yang Cheng made appropriate rotations.

Just five minutes into the game, Walcott received an assist from Sterling on the left and scored the first goal for the team.

1 to 0!

Afterwards, the Chinese in Bayswater took advantage of the victory and continued to pursue Swansea.

In the 22nd minute, Modric made a precise pass, Walcott broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot again, scoring his second goal.

2 to 0!

At halftime, Swansea made substitutions and strengthened the team's defense.

But in the 67th minute, center forward Giroud retreated to receive the ball and made a wonderful pass. Walcott successfully made an offside, broke into the right side of the penalty area, and scored with a single shot.

3 to 0!

The England winger scored a hat trick!

In the end, Bayswater Chinese won 3-0 away against Swansea.

After the game, Bayswater Chinese youth training once again dominated the front pages of major newspapers.

In three consecutive games, youth players scored!

Especially Walcott.

This was his 11th Premier League goal of the season and his first hat-trick.

With the rise of Sterling and the joining of Salah, the position of the little tiger has also been affected.

But the local player still performed very well.

When the team needs him, he can still stand up!

In this round, Arsenal defeated Everton 2-0 away.

But Mourinho's Chelsea fell behind twice and equalized twice in the home game against West Ham United.

In the end, the Blues drew 2-2 with West Ham United at home.

Klopp's Liverpool beat Southampton 4-1 away from home.

Mane scored a hat trick!

The focus of this round is the Manchester derby.

Speaking of the two teams in this game, everyone is definitely optimistic about Guardiola's Manchester City.

The reason is simple.

This is the final sprint of the league, and Manchester City still has theoretical possibilities.

There is also the city derby.

This means that it is basically impossible for Manchester City to show mercy.

Manchester United is now facing internal and external troubles.

Not to mention the external troubles, the internal worries are getting worse and worse.

Even before this game, many people speculated whether Manchester City would massacre Manchester United at home?

The start of the game was exactly as everyone expected. Manchester City kept attacking Manchester United's goal from the start.

Stars such as Aguero, Messi, Reus and others threatened Navas time and time again.

But the Costa Rican goalkeeper performed very well and blocked Manchester City's attacks time and time again.

Although they didn't concede a goal, everyone felt that with the situation at the start, it was only a matter of time before Manchester City won the game.

The only thing Manchester United needs to worry about is how many goals they lose?

Things on the football field are sometimes so bizarre.

After Manchester City had besieged Manchester United for more than ten minutes, the Red Devils barely managed a counterattack.

After Pogba stopped the ball in the midfield and got rid of Fernandinho's defense, he moved forward across the center line and made a precise through pass.

It is true that Ronaldo's speed is not as good as before, but the Portuguese superstar's positioning is smarter. He rushed directly to the junction of Manchester City's defense, stopped the ball and dribbled past center back Kompany, then broke into the left side of the penalty area and pushed the ball directly into the far corner, sending the ball into Manchester City's goal.

1 to 0!

This was Manchester United's first shot of the game!

C Ronaldo scored a crucial goal!

The entire Etihad Stadium couldn't believe what they saw.

C Ronaldo actually scored a goal!

After conceding the goal, Manchester City was like a wounded beast, and began to show its bloodiness, charging towards Manchester United continuously.

But the Red Devils' defense was well organized, and coupled with Navas' outstanding performance, they blocked Manchester City's attack time and time again.

In the end, Manchester United, which was facing internal and external troubles, actually defeated Manchester City 1-0 away from home!

C Ronaldo won in this direct dialogue with Messi!

…

When Yang Cheng heard the news, his first reaction was a bit surprised.

But then there was joy.

Manchester City lost!

In fact, this does not provide much help to the Chinese in Bayswater in the Premier League.

After 31 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese now has 26 wins and 4 draws, maintaining an unbeaten record.

With 82 points, they are ranked first in the Premier League.

And it is far ahead.

Arsenal are in second place with only 66 points, 16 points behind Bayswater Chinese.

With this round of victory, Manchester United got 61 points, reversed Manchester City and ranked third in the Premier League.

Manchester City is in fourth place with 60 points.

Liverpool is currently ranked 5th with 56 points.

The route taken by the Reds this season is exactly the same as that taken by Manchester United last season.

They have begun to shift their focus from the Premier League to the Europa League.

As long as they win the Europa League, they will be able to participate in the Champions League next season.

Mourinho's Chelsea ranked 7th with 51 points.

If we simply look at the overall ranking, Van Gaal's Manchester United actually didn't perform that badly.

As analyzed by many media.

As competition in the Premier League becomes increasingly fierce, especially as the strength of the mid- and lower-level teams continues to increase, all teams are now facing tremendous pressure.

Except for the Bayswater Chinese.

Yang Cheng's team is far ahead of other Premier League teams with its strong strength.

A 16-point lead is enough to make all competitors despair.

But even so, the Chinese in Bayswater still did not relax.

Although Van Gaal's Manchester United has always been criticized, it is still ranked third in the Premier League, which is not that bad.

Someone even did the math and found that without Ronaldo, Manchester United's current ranking would have plummeted.

Let’s take a look at this season’s relegation zone.

Of the three promoted teams this season, Bournemouth is currently ranked 14th.

Watford are ranked 15th, with only Norwich ahead at 19th.

All teams are fighting relegation, but Bournemouth and Watford are in a much better situation.

On the contrary, teams such as Newcastle, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Swansea are facing very severe relegation situations.

Even Everton looked dangerous.

This shows that the current Premier League is really terrible.

If we analyze the current relegation teams, it is easy to find that Norwich has invested the least this season among the three newly promoted teams.

They didn't invest much last summer and only invested more than 20 million pounds during the winter break.

But at the same time, two key players were sold, earning more than 10 million pounds.

The net investment is probably only around 10 million pounds.

Bournemouth invested nearly £30 million last summer, and also signed five Premier League players on free transfers from Premier League teams and loaned four players.

But even so, they still spent more than 20 million pounds on transfers during the winter break.

This included the signing of Lewis Grabban from Norwich.

Among the newly promoted teams, Watford made the biggest investment during the winter break, spending 30 million pounds.

Newcastle is the most confusing.

After successfully avoiding relegation in the Premier League last season, the Magpies spent more than 50 million pounds this summer and only sold one substitute player, with the transfer fee being almost negligible.

That’s a net investment of 50 million pounds!

During the winter break, the Magpies invested more than 30 million pounds again.

It can be said that this season, in order to avoid relegation, Newcastle has invested an estimated 100 million pounds, including players on loan and free transfers.

The result is that the Magpies are currently at the bottom of the Premier League.

The season has not ended yet, but Yang Cheng assured that at least half of the Premier League teams are now arranging scouts or third-party agencies to investigate Newcastle this season.

They want to know why Newcastle can still play like this despite investing so much.

For Yang Cheng, this is truly a classic case worthy of reference and study by all Premier League teams.

That is to make all the Premier League teams and even all the football club managers wake up.

Professional football, especially today's professional football, really cannot be solved by just investment.

No matter how rich you are or how much you invest, if the team management is chaotic, the locker room is divided, and the entire team lacks cohesion, such a team will never be successful!

Just Newcastle?

No, look at Manchester United and then look at Chelsea, isn't it the same?

Even Newcastle legend Alan Shearer said directly: Newcastle’s biggest problem at the moment lies in the team’s management.

"Why didn't the team change its coach decisively after Christmas when Newcastle only got 10 points in the first 20 rounds?"

"Why was McClaren able to lead the team to the 29th round?"

"Why is it that after investing so much in transfer fees, the results are worse than last season?"

As a Newcastle legend, Alan Shearer's inquiries were undoubtedly sharp, and were directed at Newcastle chairman Ashley.

But what makes Yang Cheng feel even more strange is that Newcastle is about to be relegated and there are only 9 rounds left in the league. Why did Benítez choose to coach the Magpies?

Is this the style a famous coach should have?

Or did Newcastle give too much?
