Chapter 73 Premier League, here I come!
Bayswater Chinese won the League Cup final, which was a big shock to other Championship teams.
Especially teams that aspire to enter the Premier League.
With the strength shown by Bayswater Chinese, promotion to the Super League is a high probability event.
Then the competition will definitely be even more fierce.
From the current perspective, Leeds United, ranked 10th, has not given up on promotion to the Premier League.
The human brain is about to be beaten into a pig brain.
The same is true of the competition within the Bayswater Chinese team.
After returning from Cardiff, the team had a week off.
On March 5, Yang Cheng led the team to an away game to challenge Stoke City.
Dave Kitson couldn't sit still after seeing Lambert shine in the League Cup final.
In the 26th minute, the top scorer was at the front of the penalty area. He took the ball and knocked away the defender. He broke into the penalty area and shot, opening the scoring for the Bayswater Chinese.
However, in a corner kick defense near the end of the first half, the back line made a mistake in marking and the opponent's center back Clint scored.
1 to 1!
After the second half, Ashley Young assisted Dave Kitson to score the second goal, increasing the score again.
Just two minutes later, he scored himself.
The person responsible for passing the ball to him was Ribery.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Stoke City 3-1 away.
By the way, this is Dave Kitson's fifth double this season.
So far, Dave Kitson has scored 21 goals in 36 Championship games.
Half of them were double goals.
This in turn proves that Kitson's goal efficiency is not very stable.
But in the Championship, Dave Kitson is good enough.
…
On the afternoon of March 12, in the 37th round of the Championship, Bayswater Chinese challenged Plymouth away.
As newly promoted teams, Bayswater Chinese top the list, while Plymouth are currently ranked 19th, on the verge of the relegation zone.
And it was the League Cup champion! This also made more than 15,000 Plymouth fans at home feel extremely sad.
Just 8 minutes into the game, Dave Kitson received an assist from Ribery and scored the first goal for Bayswater Chinese.
But just three minutes later, Plymouth equalized the score.
In the 13th minute, Gerhan Inle made a volley from behind to score another goal for the team.
The game was completely dominated by the Chinese from Bayswater.
In the 21st minute, Inler scored again, scoring another goal for the team.
The team then scored a goal in the 36th minute and the 88th minute of the second half, respectively by Modric and Ashley Young who came on as a substitute.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated Plymouth 5-1 away from home.
…
On the evening of March 15th, Loftus Road Stadium in London.
In the 38th round of the Championship, Bayswater Chinese will face Wigan Athletic at home.
The broadcaster deliberately held this game in the evening because it was not just a strong dialogue between the two teams in the Championship.
It is also a game that may determine the promotion spots to the Premier League and the ownership of the championship.
So, tonight, Loftus Road was packed.
Before the game, the Bayswater Chinese also specially prepared a trophy presentation ceremony.
Captain Modric held the League Cup championship trophy, and Neuer held the League Cup final best player trophy. They walked into the stadium with their teammates and walked around the stadium, receiving a warm welcome from the fans on the scene.
This also made everyone at Wigan Athletic, who were watching the ceremony on the sidelines, feel very unhappy.
Especially head coach Paul Jewell.
He had been preparing for this game for a long time, hoping to overthrow Bayswater Chinese in the game, replace them, become the top of the Championship and defend his Premier League qualification.
To this end, he took the initiative and deployed an extremely offensive lineup and tactics.
In particular, he has high hopes for Leighton Baines, who performed brilliantly in the last match against Bayswater Chinese.
But just when Paul Jewell was full of confidence and wanted to have a big performance on the road, the course of the game completely overturned his pre-match predictions and was even completely beyond his control.
Just over a minute into the game, Huddlestone, who had scored a world-class goal in the League Cup final, once again shot a stunning long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area and penetrated the goalkeeper Phelan's goal.
1 to 0!
This long shot not only brought out the passion of the Loftus Road stadium, but also made Paul Jewell dizzy.
The 40-year-old Wigan Athletic manager is not ready yet.
But what was even more unexpected to him was that after the restart, Bayswater Chinese continued to press Wigan Athletic.
In the 4th minute, Ribery got the ball on the left rib, dribbled past two Wigan Athletic defenders, broke into the penalty area and shot, breaking Ferran's goal again.
2 to 0!
Paul Jewell was completely confused.
Isn't this too unreasonable? It's just the beginning, brother! The Bayswater Chinese fans at the scene don't care about you, they are completely crazy! Two goals in a row at the beginning, this is definitely the rhythm of a massacre!
The Bayswater Chinese did not disappoint the fans and continued to chase Wigan Athletic.
In the 17th minute, after Modric dribbled past the defender in front of the penalty area, he made a sudden diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area, and Aaron Lennon broke into the penalty area and shot.
3 to 0!
In the 34th minute, Piszczek suddenly made a forward run and cooperated with Aaron Lennon to kill Leighton Baines in a two-on-one situation.
The Polish defender made a cross from the bottom and Dave Kitson headed the ball into the goal from close range.
4 to 0!
Just two minutes later, the Chinese players of Bayswater played two-on-one on the right again. Leighton Baines had no choice but to commit a foul, giving the opponent a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.
Skrtel received an assist from Modric and headed the ball into the goal, 5-0!
Wigan Athletic was completely defeated! They lost like this before the first half was even over.
The most outrageous thing is that the 5 goals came from 5 different players.
They were completely devastated! It was at this moment that they clearly realized that the gap in strength between them and the Chinese in Bayswater was so huge.
"The score certainly cannot reflect the gap between the two teams, but Bayswater Chinese are more confident now."
“Although the two teams are similar in the standings, in real matches, Wigan Athletic is still inferior to Bayswater Chinese.”
"Whether it's the field, the players, or the techniques and tactics, we are lagging behind in all aspects."
Although the Chinese at Bayswater relaxed their vigilance in the second half, Yang Cheng replaced three substitutes including Matuidi, Wigan Athletic still managed to pull one goal back.
But in the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Wigan Athletic 5-1 at home.
After this round of games, Bayswater Chinese got 76 points with 23 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses in 38 games, and continued to maintain the top spot in the Championship.
The Black Cats Sunderland followed closely behind with 75 points.
Wigan Athletic and Ipswich ranked third and fourth with 72 points.
These are also the four teams in the Championship standings with more than 70 points after 38 rounds.
Preston, which is in fifth place, only got 61 points.
Judging from the situation, Bayswater Chinese have at least secured a place in the promotion play-offs.
But Yang Cheng still called on the team to continue working hard to win the championship and be promoted directly.
The promotion play-offs are between the 3rd and 6th place teams, with a home and away system, and the winner will proceed to the final.
Although Yang Cheng is still confident, there are still risks.
What if there is an upset? So, it is safer to just take the top 2.
…
On March 18, in the 39th round of the Championship, Bayswater Chinese played against Reading at home.
It was another day when Loftus Road was packed.
Bayswater Chinese continued their good form after the League Cup final, with Koscielny and Ribery scoring in the 18th and 21st minutes respectively.
In the 85th minute, Dave Kitson, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal.
But in the second minute of stoppage time, Sidwell scored against Neuer with a long shot.
3-1, Bayswater Chinese beat Reading at home.
Wigan Athletic and Ipswich Town were both tied by their opponents away from home in this round.
Only Sunderland beat Coventry 1-0 at home.
Therefore, Bayswater Chinese and Sunderland gradually widened the gap with Wigan Athletic and Ipswich.
This also once again confirms Yang Cheng's point of view at the beginning of the season.
Thanks to their performance in the League Cup, the Chinese at Bayswater are becoming more and more confident, the team is getting better and better at running-in, and their competitive form is getting better and better.
After the League Cup ended, the team continued to perform at a high level.
…
After the 39th round, two weeks of national team match days arrived.
As a Championship team, Bayswater has few Chinese international players, most of whom are in the youth team.
It was previously reported in the media that Ribery, who was being watched by the French national team, was not selected for the national team this time, but was selected for the French U21 national youth team for the first time.
This is also the first time that Ribery has been selected for the national team.
When he received the call, the French winger was so excited that he almost went crazy.
Yang Cheng was reminded of the French national team's scandal. Although it happened in 2010, he still solemnly reminded Ribery that after joining the national team, he must not let his guard down and not do anything reckless.
"Think more about the Premier League in the second half of the year and the World Cup next year!" Yang Cheng encouraged.
Ribery is now full of admiration for Yang Cheng.
There is no other reason.
Two years ago, he was still carrying bricks in his hometown. It was Yang Cheng who found him, gave him opportunities and trained him, which led to his selection for the national team today.
Therefore, Ribery vowed that he would never slack off.
Fortunately, in the past two weeks, there have been no problems for the national team players.
On April 2, in the 40th round of the Championship, Bayswater Chinese reversed Coventry 2-1 away.
Affected by the national team, the team's performance was not ideal. Yang Cheng also kept a number of national players including Ribery and Huddlestone on the bench, which affected the team's combat effectiveness.
But after a close call, we still got 3 points.
Wigan Athletic lost 1-2 to West Ham United at home in this round.
Queens Park Rangers lost 1-3 to Sunderland at home.
By the way, a questionnaire survey conducted by a third-party media showed that the outstanding performance of the Bayswater Chinese has made more and more Queens Park Rangers fans dissatisfied with their home team.
Especially the home record.
Bayswater Chinese remain unbeaten at home.
This ensures that fans will not be disappointed when they buy tickets and enter the stadium.
…
Three days later, in the 41st round, Bayswater Chinese won 3-0 against Preston away.
Sunderland beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 away.
Queens Park Rangers drew 1-1 with Gillingham at home and were once again criticized by dissatisfied fans.
As a result of consecutive defeats in strong matches, Wigan Athletic's ranking in the Championship has continued to fall, and now it ranks 4th in the Championship.
However, Wigan Athletic quickly regrouped and in the last five league games, they first beat Cardiff 2-0 away, then beat Leicester City 2-0 away, and drew 0-0 with Queens Park Rangers at home.
A 1-1 draw with Preston away and a narrow 2-1 win over Reading at home.
Wigan Athletic reversed Ipswich Town and climbed to third place in the Championship thanks to its unbeaten record in the last five rounds.
After a run of six consecutive wins, Bayswater Chinese beat Leicester City 2-0 at home, drew 1-1 with Burnley away, crushed West Ham United 4-1 at home and beat Wrexerham 1-0 away.
In the last round, when the team had already won the championship, Yang Cheng's team beat Ipswich 2-1 at home.
It was precisely the victory of Bayswater Chinese in the last round that helped Wigan Athletic to reverse the situation against Ipswich and get the third place in the league.
After all 46 rounds of Championship games were played, Bayswater Chinese had 30 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses, and scored 98 points, ranking first in the Championship and directly promoted to the Premier League as champions.
The Black Cats Sunderland followed closely behind, ranking second with 94 points, and also qualified for direct promotion to the Premier League.
From 3rd to 6th are Wigan Athletic, Ipswich, Preston and West Ham United.
But in the subsequent promotion play-offs, West Ham United drew 1-1 at home and reversed 2-1 away to beat Wigan Athletic 3-2 on aggregate.
In the final, they beat Preston 1-0 and got the last Premier League spot.
As a result, Bayswater Chinese, Sunderland and West Ham United advanced to the Premier League in the 05/06 season.
After 2 years of fighting, Yang Cheng finally led Bayswater Chinese to the Premier League stage!
