Chapter 48 A Disastrous Defeat

Martin Roland just ran to the open space to receive the ball, but before he could pass it, Las Diarra had already rushed in front of him, which made the Irish midfield a little flustered.

The game had been going on for 20 minutes, and he had clearly seen Las Diarra's ability in close combat.

The first goal conceded just now was from Martin Roland.

Martin Roland didn't dare let the ball stay at his feet and immediately passed the ball back.

And he immediately kicked the ball back to the central defender Santos in the back line.

After confirming that Santos received the ball, Martin Roland's heart finally settled down, but he was already breathing heavily uncontrollably.

I looked up at the time and it was just 21 minutes.

But he felt that his physical strength was beginning to be drained.

He played all of Queens Park Rangers' games in the first eight rounds of the Championship.

Except for the 2nd and 7th rounds which were played for 63 minutes, all the other rounds were played in full.

Even in the League Cup against Swansea, he played the full 90 minutes and scored a goal.

In early September, he also participated in two national team's World Cup qualifiers, at home against Cyprus and away against Switzerland.

He also played most of the time in both games.

The heavy pressure of the game made Martin Roland feel exhausted.

If he were a Chinese in Bayswater, he wouldn't have had this feeling at all.

Whether it's psychological or spiritual.

At Bayswater Chinese, the head coach will combine each player's playing time and the player's physical assessment given by the coaching staff and medical department to decide whether the player can play in the game.

But at Queens Park Rangers?

He raised the issue with head coach Ian Holloway.

The answer I got was, "Martin, you are the most important core of our team's midfield. The team has finally gotten together, and you have to hold it up no matter what."

"It's normal to be tired after playing so many games. I'll try harder and overcome it!"

What else can Martin Roland say? He is new here and has received such a high salary, so how can he not make a contribution?

If it was just physical fatigue, he could still barely cope with it.

But when it came to the game, he found that there was a huge difference between Queens Park Rangers and Bayswater Chinese.

So much so that he began to doubt whether the level of play he had achieved in Bayswater Chinese was real. When he played for Queens Park Rangers, every time he got the ball, he often found that there was no point of contact around him.

Many teammates just stand there or move slowly after passing the ball.

There was no awareness of supporting teammates.

Even if teammates wanted to provide support, they were running the wrong route.

Either he overlaps with himself or the defender, how can he pass the ball? If it happens once or twice, it's not a big deal.

But why is it always like this? He talked to head coach Ian Holloway, who said: "You have to understand that we and Bayswater Chinese are two completely different teams, and our tactics are also different."

Yes, the playing style is indeed very different.

But isn't this a huge difference? In the past, in the Bayswater Chinese games, passing the ball was an easy thing, but when it came to Queens Park Rangers, it not only became difficult, but sometimes even impossible.

Especially today.

When facing the Chinese from Bayswater directly, Martin Roland was depressed to find that his teammates, including Kitson, who he thought had rough feet before, were able to cooperate with his teammates in passing and cutting.

Everything seems so smooth and easy.

Look at yourself.

It was not until this moment that he realized more deeply what Yang Cheng had said to them during the summer training camp when he first joined Bayswater Chinese last year.

If you run for others, they will run for you. We are one, right?

How isolated and helpless he was when he was alone at Queens Park Rangers with no one around to run for him.

He really regretted leaving Bayswater Chinese.

Just as this thought came to his mind, his teammate Matthew Ross's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Martin."

Martin Roland turned around and saw a pass coming towards him.

Almost at the same time, a red figure was caught out of the corner of my eye.

That bastard is here again! Martin Roland reflexively kicked the ball to stop it.

His technique was not particularly good. He kicked in a hurry and failed to stop the ball properly the first time, so it was a little too far.

Oops! Martin Roland reacted immediately and tried to chase after him.

Kolas Diarra is faster than him.

The red figure slipped past quickly like a loach, used its body to push Martin Roland away, and took the lead to intercept the ball.

Just a physical contact, Martin Roland was surprised by the opponent's physical confrontation.

After intercepting the ball, Las Diarra ignored Martin Roland behind him and rushed forward with the ball.

"Once again the Bayswater Chinese stole the ball in midfield."

"Las Diarra is instigating a counterattack."

"Look at this time, the cross pass to Modric."

“There’s a chance!”

"Pass it to Ribery!"

"Nice stop and go!"

"Ribery's control of the ball was very clever."

"Break into the left side of the penalty area and pass it to the middle."

"Kitson!!"

"Dave Kitson scores again!"

“This time he used his right foot to get ahead of Matthew Ross and sent the ball into the goal!”

"Ribery's pass was brilliant!"

"2 to 0!"

"Dave Kitson scores a brace!"

…

The whole stadium was boiling in an instant.

Some fans were upset because of the goal scored by the Bayswater Chinese, and some were upset because Queens Park Rangers lost the ball too quickly, just 7 minutes after the last goal.

But from the opening, the entire game was completely dominated by the Bayswater Chinese.

Yang Cheng was also very excited. He rushed to the sidelines and cheered with Ribery and others who ran out to celebrate.

"This is the head coach of Bayswater Chinese, er, no, the assistant coach, Yang Cheng."

"But the interesting thing is that he still hasn't got his coaching certificate."

“However, the Bayswater Chinese team he brought out did play very well.”

When Yang Cheng saw the players walking back, he shouted a few more words loudly.

Basically it's about keeping them focused, keep moving forward and putting more pressure on the opponent.

He was still not satisfied with a 2-goal lead.

But Ian Holloway was horrified.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

They conceded a goal in the 16th minute and another in the 23rd minute.

He immediately adjusted the tactics and signaled the team to stabilize the defense first.

Because he was worried that if the Bayswater Chinese continued to attack like this, who knows what the score would be? "Ian Holloway is calling for Martin Roland."

"Today, Roland's performance was indeed disappointing."

"Yang Cheng obviously knows this player very well. Last season, Roland was revived by the Bayswater Chinese."

"So, today, Las Diarra completed the freezing of Martin Roland."

"Both goals started with Las Diarra's tackle on Martin Roland."

…

In the stands of Loftus Road, Gianni Palladini's face became increasingly uglier.

How has Martin Rowland fared since his move to Queens Park Rangers?

Really good!

Not only did he quickly become the core of the team's midfield, he also scored 1 goal, assisted 1 goal, and scored 1 goal in the cup competition in 8 games.

For a midfielder, this kind of transcript is quite good.

But today, compared with the Chinese in Bayswater, Gianni Paladini is hardly satisfied.

He originally thought that signing Martin Roland for £3 million should be a heavy blow to the Chinese in Bayswater.

In the Championship, it is hard to find high-level players, isn't it? Unexpectedly, the strength of the Bayswater Chinese has not only not been weakened, but has become stronger.

He suddenly...can't do it anymore!

Especially when he saw Queens Park Rangers being overwhelmed by their opponents on the field and in such a miserable state, he really couldn't do it.

He even felt a little bit of fear.

Bayswater Chinese football is really good-looking and gorgeous! Will the fans change their minds in this stadium?

…

With Queens Park Rangers defending well, Bayswater Chinese completely dominated the situation on the field.

The players also resolutely implemented Yang Cheng's tactical intentions, constantly organizing and planning offensives.

In the 44th minute of the first half, an attack by Bayswater Chinese once again opened the Queens Park Rangers' goal.

This is a pass from Modric.

Capaldi made a run-in and passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

Ribery broke into the penalty area on the left side and received the ball. He made an abrupt stop, dribbled past George Santos, and made a curved ball with his right foot, which went straight into the upper right corner of the goal, scoring another goal for Bayswater Chinese.

3 to 0!

This goal completely secured the victory!

Neither side made any substitutions during the half-time break.

Therefore, the second half basically continued the situation of the first half.

But in the 71st minute, Ian Holloway finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He replaced two players at once.

Replaced Martin Roland with left attacker Kevin McLeod.

Anyone could see that Martin Roland was in bad shape today.

Lack of physical strength was one thing, but Las Diarra's close marking completely froze him.

Central defender Richard Edghill replaced Argentine defender Padula to strengthen the defense line.

But just when everyone thought that Queens Park Rangers should be able to hold on, a major mistake occurred in the defense just three minutes after the substitution.

Ribery seized an opening on the left flank, received Modric's precise through ball, dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area line, and passed it diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

Aaron Lennon cut into the right side of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed, caught up with Ribery's pass, and sent a low shot into the Queens Park Rangers goal.

This was Aaron Lennon's first goal for the Bayswater Chinese! The young player from Leeds United was so excited that he danced on the sidelines.

4 to 0!

Throughout the stadium, more than 18,600 fans all deeply felt that the strength of Bayswater Chinese has long surpassed that of Queens Park Rangers.

And it was far more than that! Afterwards, Yang Cheng also made continuous substitutions to give the main players time to rest.

But at the last moment of the game, that is, in the first minute of stoppage time, Queens Park Rangers created a foul on the left side of the Bayswater Chinese penalty area.

Matthew Ross took advantage of the free kick opportunity and headed the ball into the goal of Bayswater Chinese, saving some face for Queens Park Rangers.

But it was still a disastrous defeat.

Bayswater Chinese beat Queens Park Rangers 4-1 with two goals from Kitson and goals from Ribery and Lennon.

The Sky Sports commentator spoke highly of the performance of the Bayswater Chinese in his post-match summary.

It is believed that the Bayswater Chinese have shown a strength that is not inferior to any team in the Championship.

"We have reason to believe that as long as Yang Cheng and his team can continue the form of this game, they will be a strong contender for the promotion spot in the Championship this season."

After this round of matches, Bayswater Chinese has 17 points with 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in 9 games, ranking 4th in the Championship standings.

The team has the same points as Watford in third place, but has one less goal difference than Watford.

Ahead of Watford are Stoke City with 18 points and Wigan Athletic with 19 points.
