Chapter 363: Great harvest! The ultimate battle! Yang Cheng's choice! Yang Cheng can really turn decay into magic! [Subscribe]
When the referee Mark Clattenburg blew the whistle to end the game, the cheers of Bayswater Chinese fans floated over the entire Wembley Stadium.
The players celebrated with joy on the field.
2 to 0!
This is the final result of the game.
Bayswater Chinese defeated Manchester United with two goals in the first half and won the FA Cup championship this season!
This is already the third championship trophy for the Chinese in Bayswater!
From the League Cup to the Premier League, and then to the FA Cup, the Chinese in Bayswater are like a championship harvester, constantly winning various championships of all sizes.
Up to now, all the championships that can be won this season have basically been won.
Just one last one.
It is also the most important one.
Champions League at San Siro Stadium in Milan!
Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, looking at the players celebrating wildly on the court with mixed feelings.
Behind him, Frick, Brian Kidd and others were also very excited.
This is truly a great honor for the Chinese in Bayswater!
If they can win the Champions League again, they will all go down in history.
On the Manchester United coaching bench, Van Gaal felt very frustrated.
As early as the end of the first half, he knew that the game was basically lost.
Trailing 0-2, can they still turn the tables from Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese?
If they could really do that, Manchester United wouldn't be in the mess it is now.
Van Gaal was disappointed with the result of the game.
In the second half, Yang Cheng made substitutions and the Chinese team at Bayswater fell into a passive situation for a while.
But they pulled through with solid defense.
Throughout the entire game, Manchester United only had the initiative for about ten minutes, which was a consolation for them.
This is like a microcosm of Manchester United's season.
The only consolation for the team and the fans is the top four in the league.
At least, we have secured our qualification for the Champions League, right?
But compared with Manchester United's investment, with the joining of superstars such as Ronaldo and Pogba, is the top four in the league really enough?
"You know, Yang, I rarely give in to others."
When Yang Cheng walked over and shook hands with Van Gaal, the Dutchman still looked at Yang Cheng arrogantly.
"But I really admire you and the Bayswater Chinese!"
"In the future, if someone scolds me for failing to coach Manchester United, I can scold them back loudly."
"Who the hell can win against Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese?"
Van Gaal's words made Yang Cheng burst out laughing.
Is this ok?
But it's good.
The fancy sedan is carried by people.
Sometimes, one’s status in the underworld is raised in this way!
"You have to be careful in the next game against Real Madrid. Zidane is not easy to deal with. More importantly, your biggest enemy is yourself," Van Gaal reminded.
At this point, he actually hopes that the Chinese in Bayswater can achieve even higher achievements.
It would be best to beat Real Madrid and win the Grand Slam.
And it is an unprecedented seven-time champion!
The higher the status and greater the achievements of the Chinese in Bayswater, the better off Van Gaal and Manchester United will be.
"Don't worry, I know how to deal with Zidane!" Yang Cheng said lightly.
He had competed with Zidane many times in his previous life and was very familiar with his metaphysics.
Van Gaal was a little surprised.
Zidane has just taken over as coach, and his performance with Real Madrid's second team doesn't seem to be very good. However, his performance with the first team is quite good.
But why does Yang Cheng sound so familiar?
Is the intelligence system of the Chinese in Bayswater so powerful?
…
After the FA Cup, Bayswater Chinese won another championship!
The news quickly spread around the world.
Yang Cheng's team was followed by Bayswater Chinese fans all the way from Wembley Stadium to Prudential Stadium in central London. When they approached Hyde Park, they even caused a traffic jam.
There was no special celebration at Prudential Arena.
This is also a deliberate arrangement of the club.
From the League Cup to the Premier League to the FA Cup, they were basically handled in a low-key manner, and the official did not even hold any events.
Everyone knows that this is a plan to make a big move after the Champions League final!
To some extent, this is also putting pressure on the team, requiring everyone to perform at their best in the Champions League final and try their best to defeat Real Madrid and win the championship!
But the outside media gave high praise to the Chinese team from Bayswater for winning the championship.
Not only the British media, but media from other countries have also sung praises for the Chinese in Bayswater.
Apart from the Champions League, the Chinese team from Bayswater have won all the championships available this season.
This has reached the club's limit!
You know, in Yang Cheng's life, no team has ever won the Grand Slam.
Bayswater Chinese will become unique!
What's more, with the previous five consecutive Premier League titles and the current four consecutive Champions League titles, the goal is to win the fifth consecutive title.
If the goal is achieved, Bayswater Chinese will become the most successful football club in history!
Yang Cheng and his team will also go down in history because of this!
Therefore, for the media, no amount of praise is too much.
On the contrary, the Chinese in Bayswater handled the situation very low-key.
After delivering the FA Cup trophy to the Museum of Fame at the Prudential Stadium, the team returned to the Brent Training Center.
After a day of rest, Yang Cheng led the team from London to Milan, Italy.
The FA Cup final is on May 21 and the Champions League final is on May 28.
There is a full week of rest in between.
Moreover, several main players, including Gareth Bale, did not play the entire game.
In the next few days, the team will make the final sprint before the Champions League final at Atlanta's training base!
…
The Chinese players from Bayswater arrived in Bergamo and received a warm welcome from local Italian fans.
If there were still many local fans who were resentful or even rejected Yang Cheng's acquisition of Atlanta, now, after the development in recent years, everyone has seen Atlanta's progress.
After purchasing the stadium, the renovation project is progressing in an orderly manner. The new stadium will be further expanded to add more commercial space.
This will not only bring more match-day revenue to the team, but also provide better services to the fans.
The training base has been completely renovated.
Two training buildings were built on flat land with very advanced facilities. At the same time, the youth training system and experience of the Chinese in Bayswater were introduced and combined with the local characteristics of Italy.
Atlanta's youth training system has undergone tremendous changes in the past few years.
The club is even willing to invest in youth training.
This has made Atalanta's youth training, which was already very strong, even more famous in Serie A.
In the 15/16 Serie A season that ended on May 15, Atalanta successfully defeated Juventus and won the Serie A championship this season!
Since its establishment in 1907, more than a hundred years have passed, and Atalanta has never won the Italian top league championship.
There is not even one Italian Cup title.
But this season, Gasperini's team not only defeated Juventus in Serie A, but also historically won the first Serie A championship trophy in the club's 100-year history.
At the same time, in the Italian Cup final on May 21, thanks to Immobile's goal, they defeated Juventus 1-0 and won the Italian Cup.
Atalanta achieved the double championship this season!
This shocked the entire Italian football world!
You know, at the beginning of the season, no one was particularly optimistic about Atlanta.
The reason is actually very simple, because of Biglia's transfer.
There is no need to say much about the importance of this Argentine midfielder to Atlanta, as can be seen from the fact that Real Madrid is willing to pay such a high transfer fee for him.
Losing Biglia means Atalanta has lost its midfield core.
But what is the reality?
When the game started, everyone was surprised to find that Brozovic perfectly filled the vacancy left by Biglia, and players such as Bonaventura, Bruno Fernandez, Barrera, Cristante and De Paul all performed very well.
But the biggest discovery this season is the young player Frank Kessie.
The young midfielder performed very well.
Although only 19 years old, he has already shown impressive qualities.
6 goals, 3 assists, 6.2 ball recoveries per game, plus an 89% pass success rate.
The 19-year-old Ivorian midfielder has become the biggest discovery in Serie A this season.
Immobile's strong recovery after returning to Serie A has filled the vacancy left by Luca Toni.
Or they have announced their retirement after the end of this season.
Whether it is the frontcourt, midfield, or defense, Atalanta has shown extremely strong dominance this season, making all Serie A teams feel terrified.
The two AC Milan clubs, Juventus, Roma and other teams are currently eyeing Atalanta with great interest.
But Atlanta is no longer what it used to be.
Especially the players' value.
Having made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, they can fight on equal terms even against Real Madrid.
This has allowed Atlanta's players to make a name for themselves in European football.
If these Serie A rivals want to poach players, it is absolutely impossible without spending a lot of money.
But even if they poached Atlanta, what would happen?
With the support of Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese, Atlanta is not afraid of their poaching at all.
It is precisely because of Atalanta's outstanding performance that the fans in Bergamo and surrounding areas have undergone a huge change in their attitude towards Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater.
They are very welcoming to the Chinese people in Bayswater.
Even in the Champions League final, they all stood firmly on the side of the Chinese in Bayswater, hoping that Yang Cheng's team could defeat Real Madrid, win the Champions League for the fifth consecutive time, and create a season Grand Slam.
This surprised Yang Cheng and others.
In Italy, they actually received special treatment from fans.
I have to say, this was indeed unexpected.
Fortunately, they had been worried for a while and did a lot of preparation.
But this also proves that the fans' requirements for the club are actually very simple.
…
If Atalanta has started to achieve results this season, then Nice in Ligue 1 is in an awkward period of transition.
After selling so many stars at once last summer, especially the three main attackers in the frontcourt, the impact on Nice was really huge.
This resulted in Nice being left behind by Paris Saint-Germain from the start of the league this season.
Although Pochettino's team performed very well at one point in the middle of the season, they were ultimately unable to shake Paris Saint-Germain's dominance of Ligue 1 and only finished second in Ligue 1.
But in the French Cup final, Nice successfully defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 and won the French Cup.
This is also a consolation prize!
For Nice this season, the biggest problem still lies in the team's offense.
Dembele performed very well, Mbappe also began to emerge, and Thauvin is still the team's main player, but other players, including Choupo-Moting, Marcus Thuram, Muani and Guirassi, have performed unstably.
In general, Nice is still focusing on training young players.
But several players on the back line performed very well.
Players like Benjamin Mendy and Umtiti are basically being targeted by all the major teams.
Jose Fonte is truly a central defender incubator.
Hatching a central defender every year, the efficiency is really amazing.
Even Akanji, who just joined the team, performed very well.
In midfield, players such as Bernardo Silva, Alan, Fabinho, Jorginho and others also performed very stably.
Especially Bernardo Silva.
According to the current plan of the Chinese in Bayswater, especially after Flick takes over the team, some adjustments will definitely be made.
For example, Yang Cheng originally had only 23 people in the first team.
Even though young players such as Solanke, Arnold and Declan Rice were added later, there were actually only 26 people.
And many of them are young players.
In the midfield, Flick and the technical team are currently intensively studying whether to "buy" Bernardo Silva to Bayswater Chinese.
The reason is actually very simple.
Now, the competitive pressure in the Premier League is getting greater and greater. Yang Cheng can adopt the policy of elite troops, but Flick may not be able to do it well.
Having another Bernardo Silva means having an extra layer of protection.
The players themselves are full of expectations and anticipation for joining Bayswater Chinese!
This is currently the top football team in the world, and it has close ties with Nice.
To be honest, most of the players who play for Nice hope to use Nice as a ladder to board the giant ship of the Chinese in Bayswater.
Another point is that Yang Cheng is proposing to increase the number of substitutions to 5 people.
This requires the team to further expand its lineup.
Yang Cheng's proposal has been supported by many people because it is very necessary.
The expansion plan for the International Champions Cup will begin in the summer of 2017.
After the expansion, the first competition will be held in the United States and the second will be held in China.
By that time, the teams will play more games each season and the competition will be more intense.
The pressure on players will be greater.
Therefore, increasing the number of substitutions will help reduce the burden on players.
Moreover, the idea of increasing the number of substitutions is not new. Some people have proposed it in the past, but it has never been adopted.
Now that Yang Cheng has brought it up, all parties will naturally pay more attention to it.
It is for various reasons that both Yang Cheng and Nice themselves are very satisfied with this season's league runner-up, French Cup champion and Champions League round of 16.
Now that the Qatari consortium has acquired Tottenham Hotspur, the focus of operations will gradually shift to the Premier League.
Although Paris Saint-Germain will still receive support, it will definitely not be as much as before.
In this case, Nice will definitely have more chances.
Of course, this French Ligue 1 team still focuses on training young players.
In Yang Cheng's view, as long as they can ensure that they are in the top three of Ligue 1 every season and qualify for the Champions League, there will be no problem.
Oh, by the way, there will be the International Champions Cup in the future.
Good things should be kept within the family.
As a newly rising team in European football, Nice will definitely get a piece of the pie.
…
While Nice in Ligue 1 was still in the process of adjustment, Malaga in La Liga, as a newly promoted team, suddenly became the most dazzling dark horse in the entire La Liga.
After Pellegrini's team was promoted to La Liga, it has become the focus of everyone's expectations.
With the halo of Yang Cheng and the Chinese in Bayswater, coupled with the coaching of a famous coach like Pellegrini, the team has been trained in the Spanish Second Division for a year and is now significantly stronger after landing in La Liga.
This Malaga team also performed well.
There is no need to mention goalkeeper Onana.
On the defensive line, there are players such as Sergi Gomez, Lucas Hernandez, Lenglet and others.
The midfield is mainly composed of Rodri, Thomas Partey and Alberto.
On the front line, the trident formed by Trossard, Gerard Moreno and Ziyech makes many La Liga teams feel terrified.
Among the three players in the frontcourt, Trossard contributed 6 goals and 5 assists.
Ziyech has 7 goals and 6 assists.
Center forward Moreno scored 16 goals and provided 4 assists.
In other words, the front trident scored 29 goals.
Among them, Moreno's performance was the most surprising.
This player's performance was not very ideal when he was in Villarreal, and he was not even a regular starter for the team.
But after coming to Malaga, he turned into a famous killer in La Liga.
Although he cannot be compared with superstars such as Torres and Lewandowski, he is also considered productive among Spanish local players, ranking fifth.
Second only to Athletic Bilbao's 35-year-old veteran Aduriz who scored 20 goals, and Real Betis' 34-year-old veteran Castro who scored 19 goals.
He is also slightly inferior to Eibar striker Borja Baston, who scored 18 goals, and Deportivo La Coruna striker Lucas Perez, who scored 17 goals.
But for Moreno, this is already a proof of himself!
In addition to Moreno, Alberto also performed quite well.
As one of the best midfielders in La Liga this season, Alberto is mainly known for his attacking and passing skills.
The ball was only recovered 2.9 times per game.
But behind Alberto is Thomas Partey, who recovers the ball 6.5 times per game.
This allowed Alberto to devote himself fully to the team's organization and passing, fully unleashing the creativity of the Spanish midfielder.
At the same time, it also revitalized Malaga's midfield.
It is thanks to the outstanding performance of these players in the midfield and frontcourt that Malaga has scored 58 goals and conceded 35 goals in La Liga this season.
The final La Liga result was 4th place in the standings.
What is more worth mentioning is that Malaga’s performance against the top three teams in La Liga this season is very impressive.
They tied Real Madrid 0-0 at the Bernabeu and then drew with Real Madrid 1-1 at home.
Although they lost 0-1 to Barcelona at Camp Nou, they drew 2-2 with their opponents after returning to their home court.
Against Atletico Madrid, the score was 1-0 at home and 0-1 away.
It can be said that in the strong dialogue, Malaga also achieved excellent results.
The only flaw is the King's Cup.
Maybe Pellegrini is not born with the King's Cup.
This season, Malaga was eliminated in the first round of the King's Cup, and lost away to an amateur team.
To put it nicely, this has allowed Malaga to commit more fully to La Liga.
To be honest, Pellegrini seems to have no idea how to play in the King's Cup.
In fact, Malaga was able to break into the top four of the league thanks to Las Palmas and Sporting Gijon.
This team from the Canary Islands drew 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao at home in the 37th round of La Liga.
But in the last round, they lost 1-4 to Malaga away from home.
Malaga officially reversed the situation of Athletic Bilbao with these two rounds of games.
Sporting Gijon unexpectedly defeated Villarreal 2-0 in the last round.
In the end, Malaga and Villarreal both scored 64 points.
According to La Liga rules, we look at the goal difference first.
Malaga is slightly better and ranks fourth, surpassing Villarreal.
Therefore, it is still very dangerous for Malaga to get into the top four of the league.
But with the training and growth of players such as Rodri, Frenkie de Jong, Bentancur, Ceballos, Lo Celso, Lautaro Martinez, Olmo, Rafinha and others.
Yang Cheng believes that Malaga will be even stronger next season!
…
If we talk about results, it must be Twente in the Dutch Eredivisie that has performed the most stably.
As early as the 14/15 season, Twente was deducted 6 points and still ranked 12th in La Liga.
The strength itself is quite good.
After Yang Cheng acquired the team, he signed Vitesse head coach Peter Bots.
Bots' coaching ability has been proven in Twente this season.
In particular, the joining of players such as De Roon, Olsnes, Zakaria, Ake, Dumfries and Zinchenko has greatly enhanced Twente's overall strength.
Peter Bots even improved Twente's overall strength during the summer training camp.
In the first half of the following season, Twente played incredible offensive football in the Eredivisie.
Whether in the standings or in terms of winning rate, they have performed quite well.
The defense is solid, the midfield is dominant, and the front line is mainly composed of wingers such as Bergwijn, Eder, Cabral, etc., who forced the youth team player Osterwijk to become the top scorer in the Eredivisie.
It can be said that before January, Twente was leading the Eredivisie and had almost no rivals.
The 1.94-meter-tall young player Osterwijk became the top scorer in the first half of the Eredivisie and performed quite well.
Whether it was the high ball, the scoring, or the rare bipedalism, Osterwick received a lot of praise.
But on January 26, after the team defeated PSV Eindhoven 4-2 away, Osterwijk underwent a physical examination due to feeling unwell and was diagnosed with a sudden heart attack.
After the diagnosis, I had surgery within a week.
It can be basically concluded that Ostervik is about to bid farewell to football completely.
Such a talented young center forward, whose value has soared to 10 million euros, may be wiped out due to heart disease.
Twente was also greatly affected, with its performance declining significantly in the second half.
In the end, they lost to PSV Eindhoven in the battle for the league title.
But in the two rounds of the Eredivisie match, Twente defeated PSV Eindhoven twice and won very excitingly.
Although he failed to win the championship, no one can blame Peter Bots.
After all, the team he had worked well together was ultimately defeated by a ruthless heart attack.
But in the case of Osterwick, the Twente team also handled it in a very humane way.
Not only did they pay all of Osterwick's medical expenses, they also expressed their willingness to renew Osterwick's contract.
If you can still play football in the future, then continue to play football. If you really can't play football anymore, then start behind the scenes and begin to take coaching courses.
This move also won Twente applause.
Almost everyone believes that Twente has behaved in a very humane way in many ways since being acquired.
At the very least, it has improved a lot compared to before.
By the way, both the Dickman Football Park and the expansion of the stadium stands are currently being promoted in an orderly manner.
Twente has set a goal to build the best youth training camp in the Eredivisie within five years!
This is indeed a very courageous move!
…
In the past 15/16 season, if we talk about the most popular non-giant team in European football, Frankfurt from the Bundesliga will definitely be included.
This team has been plagued by controversy in the first half of the season.
Especially involving the acquisition and the dispute over Germany's 50+1 policy, Frankfurt was deeply involved and attracted the attention of many media and fans.
That acquisition shocked the entire European football world and even the whole world, and made the media and fans around the world pay attention to this team.
In the end, Yang Cheng got the ownership of Frankfurt as he wished before the winter break, and became another exception to the Bundesliga's 50+1 policy, being allowed to operate a Bundesliga club.
But at that time, Frankfurt was ranked at the bottom and its performance was sluggish.
In this situation, everyone is looking forward to Yang Cheng's magic hands to see how he can turn decay into magic.
And Yang Cheng did not disappoint.
From the appointment of Nagelsmann as Frankfurt's head coach at the age of 28, making him the youngest head coach in the Bundesliga's history.
Frankfurt then launched a large-scale restructuring.
Especially after sending away a group of players in their prime, a group of relatively young players were introduced.
This has led to outside doubts about Frankfurt's strength.
But all of this completely disappeared with the three consecutive victories at the start of the second half.
With this wave of three consecutive victories, Frankfurt successfully escaped from the relegation zone.
But what is really surprising is that the magic of Frankfurt has just begun.
In the subsequent Bundesliga games, Frankfurt showed super strong attacking power and midfield control.
Especially Naby Keita and Lobotka.
Naby Keita is almost everywhere, extremely good at winning the ball, but also very good at passing it.
Lobotka is good at organization and control, and is extremely good at passing and dispatching.
The combination of two players, one attacking and one defending, completely supported Frankfurt's backbone.
A 3-1 home win over Hamburg.
Beat Bayern Munich 2-1 away.
Away from home they beat Leverkusen 3-0.
Beat Dortmund 2-0 at home!
Frankfurt shocked the entire German football world, and even the entire European football world, with one victory after another!
This is simply incredible!
But it happened.
How outrageous is it?
It only took Naby Keita half a season to make it into the Bundesliga's best team of the season!
This midfielder, who was brought in by Frankfurt for 15 million euros, saw his value skyrocket and double in just six months, and has attracted the favor and attention of many European top teams.
But Frankfurt announced that they would keep Naby Keita just after the season ended.
The player also made a commitment through his agent, stating that he would continue to stay in Frankfurt.
Why?
Because he is still young, he needs further growth and experience.
But over the past six months, Naby Keita's performance in the Bundesliga has left a deep impression on everyone.
Bayern Munich held up a check and wanted to convince Frankfurt with 30 million euros.
But it was sternly rejected by Frankfurt.
Everyone clearly realized that this player was really strong!
Naby Keita was like a whirlwind, suddenly appearing in front of everyone and completely conquering all Frankfurt fans.
If we say that half a year ago, when Yang Cheng announced the acquisition of Frankfurt, many local fan organizations launched various protests and even boycotted Frankfurt's games.
Then as one game after another goes by, the team's performance gets better and better.
Everyone was clearly aware that the protests of local fans in Frankfurt were becoming increasingly weaker, while more and more fans were returning to the stadium.
In the end, they once again filled Frankfurt's home stadium to capacity.
All the fans gradually ignored the change of bosses behind the scenes, and they began to discuss whether Sebastian Haller was the second Pogba?
The old captain Alexander Meier is about to retire. Who in the team can replace him?
Phil Kruger?
Kleindienst?
Or Waldschmidt and Kramaric?
Well, these players all look pretty good.
And then there is the 28-year-old Nagelsmann.
Although he is young and his tactics are sometimes quite immature, he is particularly fond of taking risks. From time to time, he will only care about the head and not the buttocks. In the first half, he will beat others up, but in the second half, he will adjust and get kicked in the buttocks by the opponents again.
But overall, Nagelsmann is really good.
The tactics are advanced, the style of play is good, and most importantly, the results are also good.
After the 34th round of the season is over, everyone takes a look at the standings.
Oh shit!
When did Frankfurt, which was previously in the relegation zone and was second to last, quietly climb to fourth place in the league?
Although they are 5 points behind Bayer Leverkusen, which is ranked third in the league, this is too amazing, right?
Bild did some calculations.
In the second half of the league, there were 51 points in 17 games.
Frankfurt grabbed a total of 42 points.
Maybe many people have no idea about this number.
Then take out a reference.
As a giant in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich also scored 42 points in 17 games in the second half.
In other words, if we don't count the poor performance in the first half and only look at the second half, Frankfurt's report card is actually the same as Bayern's.
What about Dortmund?
The Hornets only scored 37 points in the second half, 5 points behind Frankfurt.
This means that Frankfurt's efficiency in scoring points in the second half is comparable to that of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga.
This is really outrageous!
As Kicker magazine said in its season summary.
It turns out that in the world of football, there are people who can make things happen with just a wave of their hands!
Yang Cheng used his miraculous management skills to help Frankfurt become one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga in just half a year.
Players such as Naby Keita, Lobotka, Kramaric, Sule, Rebic and Tomas Soucek all showed great strength in the second half, proving Yang Cheng's transfer operation ability.
How many such treasures are hidden in the Bayswater Chinese scouting system?
This has become the most concerned topic for all media, fans, and even football practitioners around the world.
In just half a year, Frankfurt has undergone a complete transformation, from being the second-to-last team to a quasi-Champions League team.
After these six months, no one will doubt Yang Cheng's management ability anymore.
It only took half a year to bring Frankfurt, the second-to-last team in the Bundesliga, back to life.
Give him more time, and he can really build a top team in the Bundesliga that can rival Bayern and Dortmund.
This is the case in the Bundesliga, can Malaga in La Liga do the same?
Atalanta in Serie A and Nice in Ligue 1 have both won league titles and have long been among the top teams in their respective leagues.
They have all proven themselves.
…
Another team that has proven itself is Palmeiras of the Brazilian Serie A.
As well as the Dutchman Ten Hag, who coaches Palmeiras, and his team of assistants.
Last season, Palmeiras won the Brazilian Sao Paulo State League Championship and later the Brazilian League Championship.
In his first season as coach in the Brazilian league, Ten Hag impressed everyone.
By the 2016 season, Palmeiras' performance became more stable and calm.
The players have become more and more adapted to Ten Hag's tactical system, which is considered an advanced system even in the top European leagues, and their performances are getting better and better.
Palmeiras players have also gradually shown a tactical style that is completely different from other Brazilian teams.
The players obviously pay more attention to teamwork and passing and cutting than other Brazilian teams, and this group of players also have a better understanding of football tactics.
Everyone knows that Brazilian teams basically don't pay much attention to tactics.
For them, the so-called tactics is to put the player in a position that suits him and then let him play freely.
But in Palmeiras, all the Brazilian teams and Brazilian fans have a rare opportunity to see how European teams operate and play football.
Attack and defense, advance and retreat, all have their own rules.
If Palmeiras was just testing the waters last season, then this season, Ten Hag led his team to an unstoppable momentum, just like cutting melons and vegetables.
Players on the front line such as Jesus, Neres, Richarlison, Luis Dias, etc. have shown amazing strength, helping the team to sharply penetrate the defenses of all opponents on the court.
Midfielders such as Gerson, Paqueta, Joelinton, Arthur, Bruno Guimaraes and others helped the team to firmly control the midfield, suppress the opponents, and continuously deliver ammunition to the attackers in the frontcourt.
Not to mention the defense.
Brazilians have never taken defense seriously.
But Palmeiras' overall defense not only caused a huge response in Brazil, but also performed very well throughout South America and attracted much attention.
As the Brazilian champion last season, Palmeiras is able to participate in this season's Copa Libertadores.
In the group stage, Palmeiras beat traditional South American powerhouses such as Rosario Central, Colo-Colo and Nacional of Uruguay, and advanced to the knockout stage as the group leader.
In the round of 16, they defeated River Plate 7-1 in two rounds.
In the quarter-finals, they defeated Nacional 1-0 away and 3-1 at home, with a total score of 4-1, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores.
After the draw, the opponent in the semi-finals is Boca Juniors of Argentina.
The time is in July.
In a phone call to Yang Cheng, Ten Hag expressed his confidence that he would make a big splash on both the Brazil and South American fronts this season.
Yang Cheng could also tell that Ten Hah was now very ambitious.
He was looking forward to Yang Cheng fulfilling his original promise and letting him coach a team in the top five leagues.
But he had no idea that because of being acquired by Yang Cheng, Palmeiras' outstanding performance in Brazil and South America had already attracted strong attention from many European teams.
The head coach, Ten Hag, has also begun to attract close attention.
The outside world often adds something before the label they give him.
Chosen by Yang Cheng!
This has become a golden sign in world football!
All the players selected by Yang Cheng, such as Naby Keita, Lobotka, Alberto, Moreno and other players, no matter how badly or sluggish their performance had been before, would immediately shine as long as Yang Cheng started to operate them.
There are also cases like Luca Toni, a veteran who has returned to the top, and Ciro Immobile, who has experienced a slump and then regrouped.
It can be said that no one would doubt Yang Cheng's vision.
The head coaches he appointed often led their teams to achieve excellent results.
All these make Ten Hag even more popular!
For Ten Hag, Yang Cheng’s only requirement is to lead him to the end of the season as much as possible.
That is, by the end of 2016.
At the same time, if Ten Hag wants to leave, then keep the two assistant coaches Van der Gag and Schroeder.
According to Yang Cheng's plan, once Ten Hag leaves the team, one of these two assistant coaches will become the team's head coach.
With their abilities, they may not be considered very good coaches in Europe.
But in Brazil, there is no problem at all with the now established Palmeiras.
Ten Hah has also agreed to Yang Cheng.
…
In the season that just ended, Yang Cheng led Bayswater Chinese all the way to the top of the Premier League and sprinted for the Champions League championship, winning universal applause.
The several teams he acquired also reaped great rewards.
Perhaps, they may not all be able to win the championship, but they have all demonstrated amazing strength and made tremendous progress after being acquired.
This won Yang Cheng a lot of cheers before the Champions League final.
The upcoming Champions League final will not only be Yang Cheng’s last game as the head coach of Bayswater Chinese, but also the last game of Yang Cheng’s coaching career.
May 27, the day before the Champions League final.
Yang Cheng led the team to San Siro in Milan for training to familiarize themselves with the venue.
After training, Yang Cheng attended the routine pre-final press conference.
At the press conference, Yang Cheng answered some questions from media reporters about the team and the upcoming final.
Regarding his plan to step down as coach of Bayswater Chinese after the final, Yang Cheng made it very clear that he would no longer coach any team, including the national team.
Why?
"I need to devote more time and energy to work outside the football field."
Not only is he the chairman of the FIFA Supervisory Board, but he is also responsible for the affairs of various clubs, his own business, and domestic family business, all of which require Yang Cheng to worry about and take care of.
For Yang Cheng, he has already proven his coaching skills at Bayswater Chinese.
Now there is no need for him to coach other teams.
What's more, it's somewhat unfair.
In fact, if it lasts for a long time, it will definitely cause controversy.
Just imagine, the Chairman of the FIFA Supervisory Board led a national team to play in the World Cup organized by FIFA and won the championship. Is this reasonable?
If I don’t win the championship… I’m sorry, it’s even worse!
By then, the media will definitely belittle Yang Cheng.
Look, the success that can only be achieved in club competitions will be immediately exposed when it comes to national team competitions.
So what did Yang Cheng ask for?
Asking him to give up the position of Chairman of FIFA Supervisory Board for the so-called purpose of prolonging his life? Sorry, he can’t do it!
Yang Cheng has even started planning.
In the next few years, he will gradually support some capable and thoughtful people in the country to join FIFA and then slowly take over the power that he has transferred to him.
Of course, it is impossible to completely control FIFA.
However, Yang Cheng is confident that in a few years or even more than ten years, the influence of his motherland in FIFA will become increasingly important.
Even have the power to participate in major decision-making!
You know, this is a power that even the United States does not have!
This will be a brand new track.
It has a very significant impact on both Yang Cheng and his motherland.
So, he must give it his all.
Having been a coach for three lifetimes and for so many years, Yang Cheng is reluctant to leave this position suddenly.
But there is no way, what he is pursuing now is not just victory on the football field!
The pursuits are different, the tracks are different, so the positions must naturally be adjusted accordingly.
Precisely because of this, Yang Cheng is determined to win the next and final game, which is the Champions League final!
He has told the players very clearly that they must win this crucial game at all costs.
This is also the last game of his coaching career!
The Chinese people in Bayswater are working together as one, and everyone is full of fighting spirit.
Everyone hopes to win this ultimate battle for Yang Cheng!
