Chapter 347: The seventh leader in the Premier League! Yang Cheng, your secret is exposed! Manchester United is asking for a lot! [Subscribe]
When the game reached the 17th minute, Luke Shaw suddenly made a back-up and fired a long shot near the left corner of the penalty area. The shot hit the opponent's central defender Distin's leg and bounced out.
The former Everton center back blocked the ball and immediately turned and rushed out.
But Sterling was faster than him. He intercepted the ball first and then ran like a loach. He dribbled the ball away from Distin and broke into the penalty area, facing another central defender Steve Cook.
Sterling first made an abrupt stop in the penalty area, then made a fake move to cut inside. After dribbling past Cook, he suddenly broke through straight forward and shot easily with his right foot.
The ball passed under the goalkeeper and went into the near corner of the goal, 2 to 1!
The score is reversed!
The entire course of the game has been completely reversed.
Bournemouth is in complete chaos!
The Bayswater Chinese continued their offensive.
Everyone gradually got involved in the game.
Especially Salah.
The Egyptian winger also gradually showed his strength.
After seeing the team's reversal, he felt relieved.
In the 29th minute, Salah created a corner kick opportunity when he dribbled the ball on the right.
Toni Kroos took the corner kick and sent the ball accurately in front of the penalty area.
Thiago Silva got the first chance and headed the ball into the near corner.
Goalkeeper Boruc fell to the ground and blocked the ball with one hand.
The ball was blocked, but there was no one near the small penalty area.
Harry Kane appeared in this fatal position at the critical moment, facing the ball saved by Boruc, and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.
3 to 1!
Scored twice!
The team ended the first half with a 3-1 lead.
In the locker room, Yang Cheng was satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
But he believes that after leading 3-1, the pressure on the opponent was still not enough.
We still need to strengthen our offense appropriately in the second half.
“Come on! Come on!! Come on!!!”
Yang Cheng's encouragement made the team perform very aggressively at the beginning of the second half.
Even though they were already leading 3-1, the Bayswater Chinese players still fought with all their might.
In the 56th minute, De Bruyne received a pass from Salah in the midfield, took a step forward, avoided the defender, and made a diagonal pass.
This diagonal pass was like a scalpel, accurately cutting through Bournemouth's defense.
Harry Kane quickly moved forward and intercepted De Bruyne's pass just behind Distin.
The England center forward did not stop the ball, but instead pushed it directly with his left foot and sent the ball into the right side of the goal again.
4 to 1!
hat trick!
Harry Kane was so excited that he turned around and ran, cheering wildly all the way.
The entire process of scoring the goal happened right under Salah's nose.
He suddenly realized clearly what his teammate had said to him before.
"Do you know what the biggest difference is between us Bayswater Chinese and other teams?"
"That is, as attackers in the frontcourt, we don't need to think about how to pass the ball."
"The only thing we need to consider is how to run!"
"Behind us is the midfield with the best organization and passing ability in the world. No matter how we run, as long as we can run into space, they can pass the ball to us accurately!"
Just now, Harry Kane's sudden forward run and De Bruyne's exquisite pass really made Salah feel like his skin was being precisely cut by a scalpel.
So detailed!
Distin saw it, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.
It was as if when De Bruyne passed the ball, he had already taken his center of gravity shift into account.
And when Harry Kane receives the ball, it is very easy to play.
It's more like blocking rather than hitting with the left foot.
Thinking of this, Salah suddenly had an idea.
Just 7 minutes later, he suddenly changed direction during a lateral run and sprinted forward quickly.
But just as he penetrated the Bournemouth defense, a flash of regret suddenly flashed through his mind.
Finished!
Forgot to shout!
And he ran too fast, he was offside!
But what surprised Salah was that the linesman did not raise the flag and the whistle did not sound.
When the Egyptian winger turned his head, he saw the football flying towards him.
Oh shit!
It turns out that what was said in the locker room was true!
We just have to run and they’ll pass the ball to us!
Salah's reaction was also extremely quick. He turned sideways, stopped the ball with his chest, and then accelerated to catch up.
Facing the attacking Boruc, the Egyptian easily pushed the ball into the goal with a one-on-one opportunity.
5 to 1!
Salah turned and ran excitedly.
No one can stop him!
He ran all the way, rushed to the live camera on the sidelines, and cheered and shouted loudly.
He had seen this scene many times on TV.
In fact, in the past few years, he himself has been looking forward to wearing the Bayswater Chinese jersey, scoring goals for the team and celebrating loudly like this after scoring a goal.
Before, he missed a great opportunity!
Now, he has filled this regret!
It’s finally my turn to celebrate the goal!
…
The first round of the league is destined to be the most difficult.
In the opening match, Bayswater Chinese scored five goals in a row after conceding a goal away from home, defeating newly promoted Bournemouth 5-1, which caused a huge response.
Whether it was Harry Kane's hat trick or Sterling and Salah's goals, they all showed the team's strong strength.
Even with the departure of Hazard, Bayswater Chinese are still the most competitive team in the current Premier League!
In the following game, Manchester United encountered a tenacious attack from Tottenham Hotspur at home.
But in the 22nd minute, Ronaldo relied on his personal ability to break through, cut into the penalty area and shot successfully.
This was also the only goal scored by Manchester United in the entire game.
The Red Devils beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home.
But Mourinho's team was not so lucky.
In the match against Swansea, the Blues took the lead twice, but were equalized by their opponents twice.
In the end, we drew 2-2 with Swansea at home.
The Gunners beat West Ham United 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Benzema and Sanchez.
Liverpool beat Stoke City 1-0 away from home thanks to Coutinho's goal.
Klopp's Premier League debut got off to a good start.
Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 away with goals from David Silva, Messi and Kompany.
After this round of games, Bayswater Chinese topped the Premier League table with the advantage of goal difference!
It is worth mentioning that before this round of games, the British media also reported the news.
The Qatari consortium that acquired Paris Saint-Germain is interested in acquiring a Premier League team.
The priority target is Manchester United!
But according to information revealed by The Sun, the offer made by the Glazer family to Manchester United once again far exceeded the acceptable range of the Qatari consortium, which made the Middle Eastern capital back off once again.
However, the Qatari consortium still hopes to find a team in the Premier League.
Apart from Manchester United, their priority is teams in London or surrounding areas.
In this season's Premier League, there are still many teams from London and surrounding areas.
Apart from Bayswater Chinese, Arsenal and Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur is also controlled by the ENIC Group.
Potential buyers for the Qatari consortium include West Ham United and Crystal Palace in the Premier League, as well as Watford in the northwest suburbs of London.
Bournemouth and Southampton are also in the London area.
Among them, Southampton Saints has been listed for sale, so it has been widely rumored.
In the Championship, Queens Park Rangers, Brentford, Reading, Charlton Athletic and Fulham are all teams from London and surrounding towns.
Therefore, many people are looking forward to the next move of the Qatari consortium.
But no matter what, with the strength of the Qatari consortium, if they really want to acquire a team and enter London, it will undoubtedly make this football city with the most fierce competition in the world even more explosive.
You know, London now has three teams from the Big 6. If the Qatari consortium enters, the Big 6 will probably become the seven giants of the Premier League.
By then, the football market in London will really be beaten into dog brains!
Yang Cheng actually knew more about the news from the outside world.
In the past few years, the broadcasting rights of the Premier League have been rising steadily, and globalization has been getting better and better.
More and more investors want to enter this market.
But Premier League teams are becoming more and more expensive, and many teams are naturally limited.
For example, Queens Park Rangers.
What would happen if a team like this was acquired by the Qatari consortium?
The consortium is not stupid.
Now, the most popular team in London is West Ham United.
Because the team's home stadium is the London Stadium, there is a lot of room and potential for development.
But the London Bowl is also rented, which becomes a problem.
Tottenham Hotspur has always wanted to build a new stadium, but has no money.
However, the price tag for the North London side will also be very high.
Knowing the style of Lewis and Daniel Levy of the ENIC Group, you can definitely guess that if they want to acquire Tottenham, they will have to pay an astronomical sum of money.
Brentford in the Championship is also planning a new stadium, and Charlton Athletic and Crystal Palace on the south bank of the Thames also have the potential to expand their stadiums.
Strictly speaking, the outlying cities of Watford and Reading are no longer part of London, but they are also considered to be within the metropolitan area.
All in all, no one knows what the Qatari consortium will choose until the results come out.
It is indeed a pity for Manchester United.
The Glazer family has been sucking blood from Manchester United and demanding such a high price when selling, which really makes all investors stay away.
At least, the Red Devils fans really hate this family!
…
Yang Cheng has no control over what Manchester United fans think of the Glazer family's exorbitant demands.
But he is very clear that Van Gaal's Manchester United should not be underestimated.
After the first round of the Premier League, the Chinese players from Bayswater took a short rest in London and then took a special plane from London to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.
If it were in the past, he would definitely complain harshly about UEFA's aggressive attitude.
But now, as the chairman of the FIFA Supervisory Board, he has to say that such behavior is necessary, whether for the sake of votes or for the needs of the overall situation.
Of course, for UEFA, it is not them who are in trouble.
The game kicks off at 19:45.
Both Yang Cheng and Van Gaal rotated the team's starting lineup.
Because after this game, the two teams will return to the Premier League and play another game.
But it is clear that both sides attach more importance to this European Super Cup.
After all, this is a European championship!
The Chinese side of Bayswater still adopted their iconic 433 formation.
Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Pepe, Van Dijk and Piszczek;
Midfield: Matic drops back, with Aaron Ramsey and Modric in the middle;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Giroud and Walcott.
Unlike the previous first round of the league, Yang Cheng changed the starting lineup completely.
But players like Harry Kane and Toni Kroos are sitting on the bench and can play at any time.
Manchester United actually also made a lot of rotations.
Goalkeeper: Navas;
Defense: Blind, De Rossi, David Luiz and Valencia;
Midfield: Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger form a double defensive midfielder, with Ronaldo, Pogba and Rooney in front;
Forward: Cavani.
Manchester United's lineup seems to adopt a 4231 formation, but in fact, when attacking, Valencia's active insertions will turn the formation into a formation similar to 3 defenders.
Especially the forward pressure of Ronaldo and Rooney, forming a three-forward formation with Cavani.
By then it will become a 343 stance.
It can be seen that players such as Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger who were signed this summer have been highly valued by Van Gaal.
But from the beginning of the game, the Chinese in Bayswater showed their advantages.
The mature and stable tactical framework built over the past years has enabled the players on the team to cooperate with each other skillfully and in harmony.
The players on three lines were like tightly meshed gears, working hard to push the team's chariot and constantly attacking Manchester United.
The Red Devils had obviously anticipated this, so their defense was very tightly organized.
The strategy adopted by Van Gaal's Manchester United is still high pressing.
But do it in a more targeted way.
If you fail to grab the ball, you will immediately return to your defensive position.
The entire offense-defense transition and retreat speed were very fast.
After a season of training, Manchester United has skillfully switched between three defenders, four defenders, and even five defenders.
Faced with speed threats such as Gareth Bale and Walcott, Manchester United's strategy was to compress the ball out of the midfield.
The double defensive midfielders of Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger play such a role.
In theory, this double defensive midfielder combination is actually really beautiful.
Many people will wonder if Manchester United is stupid to spend a lot of money to buy Schneiderlin?
But it’s really not!
In the past three seasons, Schneiderlin has averaged 7, 6.5 and 7.2 times per game in the Premier League.
This data ranks among the top five among Premier League midfielders.
More importantly, his pass success rate has remained stable at 89%.
Among them, the backcourt passes were as high as 97%, and the midfield passes were around 91%.
He is just a ball-grabbing machine with great passing ability.
Therefore, many people say that Schneiderlin is good at both offense and defense, which is absolutely correct.
If you just look at it on paper, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger really complement each other.
These two players form a double defensive midfielder partnership, which is definitely tough enough!
Besides, Manchester United and Van Gaal are not stupid.
Schneiderlin is good at attacking, while Schweinsteiger is responsible for falling back. These are the tasks they assign to the double defensive midfielders.
This is also the arrangement that can best bring out their characteristics.
So what's the problem?
Yang Cheng had read an interview with Schneiderlin in his previous life. What he said in it was very interesting, but people who have played football would agree with it.
Schneiderlin said: The reason why he played poorly at Manchester United and could not adapt to Van Gaal's tactics was that he thought too much when playing on the court.
Is it outrageous?
not at all!
Schneiderlin explained that he has always been a player who is accustomed to playing on his own initiative.
In the game, he uses his intuition to judge what he should and should not do.
But Van Gaal's tactical restrictions made it difficult for him to adapt.
The Dutch coach was even so strict that he told Schneiderlin what he must do when he has the ball and what he must do when he doesn't have the ball, which left Schneiderlin at a loss.
Every time before he takes action, he has to think about what the head coach wants him to do.
Then he found that he began to lose his ability to play football.
Especially when every time he makes a judgment, it always leads to mistakes.
His constant mistakes and confused way of playing caused his confidence to continue to decline.
So what did Pochettino do to him at Southampton?
They will design tactics based on Schneiderlin's playing habits and style.
Ultimately, these are the different coaching styles of the two coaches.
Van Gaal, Benítez and others really treat players as robots.
Yang Cheng deeply sympathized with Schneiderlin's experience.
In fact, he likes this player very much.
But now they are rivals.
Therefore, Yang Cheng must seize this point to attack Manchester United.
Another point is that Pogba and Ronaldo are both in the left half.
Neither of these two attacking players is very willing to return to defense.
When facing Schneiderlin, he likes to steal the ball, but he easily loses his position after stealing it.
Therefore, Yang Cheng arranged his tactics based on this point.
In the 17th minute, during a quick counterattack, Giroud retreated to support the defense, Modric got the ball in front of Schneiderlin and in the right half of the field behind Pogba, attracted Schneiderlin to steal the ball, and then passed it to Piszczek.
The Polish right-back made a 45-degree diagonal pass behind the Manchester United defense.
Gareth Bale, who had just had an experience of missing a shot in the penalty area, quickly moved forward and headed the ball to the right side of the goal near the left corner of the small penalty area before goalkeeper Navas could get there.
Although Navas tried his best to save the ball, he was still powerless.
1 to 0!
The Chinese from Bayswater took control of the game right after the opening and finally scored against Manchester United!
And in the 42nd minute of the first half, it was still in this area.
Giroud received the ball and moved to the side, passing it back to Walcott.
The little tiger quickly moved forward and made a beautiful one-two combination with Modric who came in from behind, and directly avoided Schneiderlin.
Walcott cut diagonally to the right side of the penalty area, received the ball and had a one-on-one opportunity, then shot again and broke through Manchester United's goal.
2 to 0!
All 55,000 fans in the Dynamo Tbisli Stadium cheered loudly!
The Chinese players from Bayswater spent almost the entire first half pressing Manchester United to the ground.
Let everyone see that although they are all Premier League teams and top giants, the gap in strength is still very huge.
In the second half, after the two sides changed sides, at the beginning of the game, the Chinese of Bayswater launched a wonderful counterattack on the left.
Gareth Bale dribbled the ball wildly, and amid the exclamations of everyone in the stadium, he drove straight into the penalty area and shot into the near corner from the left side.
As a result, the ball hit the base of the left post, bounced back, and was hastily blocked by David Luiz out of the baseline.
Modric took the corner kick.
The Croatian accurately sent the ball to the back of the penalty area.
After Van Dijk quickly got rid of the two Manchester United players who were defending him, he dived and headed the ball directly to the left side of Manchester United's goal from the right side of the small penalty area.
Navas flew to the side, but was still out of reach.
3 to 0!
The outcome has been decided!
At this time, it was only the 53rd minute of the game.
In the last 40 minutes or so, both sides were basically substituting players and killing time.
There's no way, there's a league match this weekend.
And both teams have to travel a long distance back to London to participate in the game.
This is a huge drain on both parties.
In the end, Bayswater Chinese defeated Manchester United 3-0 and won the European Super Cup!
…
August 15th, afternoon, Prudential Arena, London.
In the second round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese will face Manchester United at home.
When the game reached the 59th minute and 56 seconds, Sterling dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area from the left side, attracting the joint defense of two Manchester United midfielders, Herrera and Stroman.
Plus a Schweinsteiger lagging behind.
The entire Manchester United's defensive focus shifted to this side.
But after Sterling dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area and attracted the attention of the defense, he made a cross pass to the empty area in the middle.
Casemiro quickly moved forward, caught up with Sterling's cross pass, and when Schneiderlin rushed over, he made a diagonal pass behind him.
In the arc top area, De Rossi, who was lagging behind, shouted, turned around immediately and rushed to the right side of the penalty area.
Then I saw a red figure moving forward at an extremely fast speed and catching up with Casemiro's diagonal pass.
Gareth Bale even made a slight adjustment with the inside of his right foot, and shot directly near the right corner of the penalty area before De Rossi could rush over.
This shot, which was at close range, was very powerful.
And it is not a low ball, but a high ball that is more difficult.
The football flew out at an extremely fast speed, almost brushing the bottom of the crossbar and going into Manchester United's goal.
“The ball goes in!!!!”
"In the 60th minute, the game had just gone on for 60 minutes, Gareth Bale scored a powerful close-range shot and broke through Manchester United's goal!"
"And with his right foot!"
"We can see that this shot was very difficult. He did not take a safer shooting angle, but shot directly high, clearly targeting Navas' height shortcoming."
"But if such a shot is not controlled well and the ball is not suppressed, it is very likely to become an anti-aircraft gun."
"We can see that Gareth Bale's shot was of very high quality and at a very fast speed."
"After several years of practice, Gareth Bale's shooting skills have become more and more sophisticated. Now he is the most threatening killer in European football. His right foot can shoot as well as his left foot!"
“It’s really comprehensive!”
Manchester United's best chance of the game came near the end of the second half.
Pogba sent a straight pass behind the Bayswater Chinese defense line.
C Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute, quickly moved forward and after receiving the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he faced the attacking Courtois and shot directly into the far corner.
Halfway through the attack, Courtois suddenly fell to the ground and dodged.
From the slow-motion replay, we can see that the Belgian goalkeeper's fingertips did touch the ball, causing the ball to deviate and slip out of the goal.
But the referee directly awarded a goal kick instead of a corner kick.
After the game, Van Gaal also seized on this point to criticize, believing that it was a very serious misjudgment.
It's as if if Manchester United were given a corner kick, they would definitely be able to attack and score.
Yang Cheng took advantage of the situation and said that he didn't even notice whether it was a corner kick.
“It happened so fast.”
"But I don't think it will have any impact on the overall situation of the game."
"Whether it's a corner kick or not, it doesn't matter at all!"
In the second round, Arsenal reversed Crystal Palace 2-1 away from home with Benzema's assist and shot.
Liverpool beat Bournemouth 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Suarez.
In another focus match of this round, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 3-0 at home with Messi's two goals and Aguero's goal!
Mourinho's team suffered a heavy blow!
…
A week later, the third round of the Premier League.
Yang Cheng's team challenges Crystal Palace away.
Alan Pardew's team played a very defensive game at home.
It wasn't until the 29th minute that the Bayswater Chinese scored a goal with an assist from Harry Kane and Modric's late attack.
Then in the second half, in the 60th minute, Gareth Bale received an assist from Modric and scored another goal for the team.
This is two consecutive games that the Welsh have scored!
Just six minutes later, Harry Kane scored again against Crystal Palace with a long shot from outside the penalty area.
3 to 0!
Bayswater Chinese won a complete victory over Crystal Palace away from home!
Yang Cheng's team once again showed its aggressive momentum.
From the beginning of the season, the team showed an unstoppable momentum.
Manchester United, who suffered two consecutive defeats, defeated Newcastle 1-0 in this round thanks to Ronaldo's winning goal.
Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion 3-2 away from home.
Manchester City beat Everton 2-0 away.
Messi made one pass and one shot.
In the focus match of this round, Arsenal drew 0-0 with Liverpool at home.
The two teams fought a very fierce battle, but neither side was able to score a goal.
…
It’s the 4th round of the Premier League.
The Gunners failed to beat Liverpool in the last round, and Wenger's team breathed a sigh of relief in this round.
Thanks to Nasri's goal, they beat Newcastle 1-0 away.
Manchester City beat Watford 2-0 at home thanks to Messi's goal.
Liverpool beat West Ham United 3-0 at home.
Suarez performed very well and scored twice.
Chelsea reversed Crystal Palace 2-1 after conceding a goal at home.
Manchester United drew 2-2 with Swansea away from home thanks to goals from Mata and Ronaldo.
Although Van Gaal's Red Devils invested a lot of money this summer, their league start was not smooth.
The most important thing is that the team's tactics are not clearly sorted out, especially the problem of player adaptation.
Bayswater Chinese will face Sunderland at home.
Just 19 minutes into the game, Walcott scored the first goal for the team.
1 to 0!
The one who assisted the little tiger was Gareth Bale!
After listening to Yang Cheng's words, the Welshman is determined to continue to compete for the FIFA Ballon d'Or this season.
The first of these was the European Player of the Year award at the UEFA ceremony in Monaco.
In the 31st minute, Harry Kane made a wonderful assist to help Gareth Bale get a goal.
2 to 0!
After the second half, Defoe scored a goal for Sunderland.
This gave Sunderland hope.
But five minutes later, Pepe scored another goal for the team.
3 to 1!
In the 60th minute, Walcott assisted Harry Kane to score another goal, further expanding the lead.
4 to 1!
And in the 62nd minute, Toni Kroos assisted Gareth Bale to score again!
5 to 1!
The Welshman scored twice.
In the 76th minute, Harry Kane made a straight pass and Gareth Bale broke into the left side of the penalty area and scored again.
In the end, Gareth Bale scored a hat-trick to help the team beat Sunderland 6-1 at home.
…
After the fourth round of the Premier League, the league was temporarily suspended, and the annual Champions League group stage draw and UEFA's annual awards ceremony were held.
In the past, Yang Cheng rarely attended such occasions.
But things are different now.
Today, as the chairman of the FIFA Supervisory Board and the owner of Bayswater Chinese, he should attend the event both for official and private reasons, so he brought his players to the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco early.
Every grand event is a social venue where various forces are mixed and intertwined.
The Champions League group stage draw is no exception.
What the media and fans saw was the draw and the award ceremony.
But in Yang Cheng's view, this is a "diplomatic" stage of maneuvering.
In September, the draw for the UEFA president will take place.
Now is the time when the competition between Dutchman Van Praag and Slovenian Ceferin is the most intense.
Both of them appeared at this event at the same time.
But after Yang Cheng entered the venue, the first people he saw were not them.
But it is Nasser, the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain.
Nasser is actually a very versatile person.
When Yang Cheng entered the stadium, he was talking to Manchester United CEO Ed Woodward.
If this scene gets out, it is estimated that tomorrow there will be news that the Qatari consortium is going to acquire Manchester United.
But in fact, everyone in the industry basically knows that the deal has long been scrapped.
The Glazers are asking a high price.
There was news two days ago that Qataris wanted to buy Newcastle.
This is also a traditional giant in the Premier League, but it is now in decline.
After Yang Cheng brought Adam Crozier and Gareth Bale into the field, Nasser apologized to Ed Woodward and was the first to come forward.
The Qatari was the first to wish Gareth Bale another award.
This move immediately won the favor of Yang Cheng and Adam Crozer.
After Gareth Bale left, Adam Croser jokingly asked if he was still not giving up on Manchester United?
Nasser smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you know how much the Glazer family offered?"
Yang Cheng and Adam Crozier looked at each other, both very curious.
"Four billion pounds!"
"4 billion pounds?" Adam Crozer was shocked on the spot.
Yang Cheng was fine, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire the Glazer family's generous request.
With 4 billion pounds, who the hell would buy Manchester United?
Do you, Manchester United, have mountains of gold and silver, or what?
Even though Manchester United is still one of the most influential, commercially capable and brand-valuable clubs in world football, its value is not as terrifying as £4 billion.
Apart from anything else, since the Glazer family took over the team, the Carrington training base has not changed a single piece of equipment.
C Ronaldo had previously complained that the six years since he left Manchester United were six years in which the training level in European football had advanced by leaps and bounds, but as a result, Manchester United's Carrington training base was still exactly the same as before.
There are even fewer people than before.
These Americans are really stingy!
"We have indeed been looking for a team in London recently. We hope that in the future we will have the opportunity to play the London derby with you Bayswater Chinese, as well as Arsenal, Chelsea and other top teams!"
The information revealed by Nasser actually has a profound meaning.
Adam Crozier glanced at Yang Cheng and said with a smile: "It seems that you are going to make a big move!"
"Of course, when we get to the Premier League, we will definitely challenge the dominance of you Chinese people in Bayswater."
After hearing this, the three of them burst into laughter.
After a while of joking, Nasser asked Yang Cheng about some other matters.
For example, the current attitude within FIFA towards the bid for the 2022 World Cup.
This is actually not a secret.
Qatar has long been concerned that power shakeups at FIFA could lead to a change in hosting rights for the World Cup.
They have invested a lot of money and put in a lot of effort in their bid to host the World Cup.
If the World Cup hosting rights are cancelled, it will be a huge blow to Qatar.
Yang Cheng did not hide anything and directly spoke out about some controversies within FIFA.
There are indeed some voices calling for the cancellation of Qatar's hosting rights.
In addition, some voices have questioned that the players simply cannot bear to play in the World Cup in Qatar in the summer.
It's too hot.
In fact, Qatar itself knows this, so when they were designing the stadium, they even studied the air conditioning of the stadium.
But these are just small things.
The point is, who is willing to play the World Cup in Qatar in 40-degree heat?
This can only mean that Blatter was really kicked in the head by a donkey.
Qatar is also very anxious now and is trying to mediate everywhere, hoping to suppress the discussion and keep the hosting rights.
Thinking of this, a flash of enlightenment suddenly came to Yang Cheng's mind.
I suddenly understood why the Qatari consortium wanted to acquire the Premier League team.
It is estimated that the Qataris will continue to invest heavily in the UK, just as they did in France.
In some ways, this makes more sense than their investment in France.
Because over the years, Middle Eastern consortiums have been investing in the UK.
"You guessed right."
After Nasser left, David Gill came over and confirmed Yang Cheng's guess.
"They have certainly been taking the Downing Street route recently. I have met with them several times, including this time acquiring the Premier League team. It is said that they will also bring in superstars."
"The next step will be to continue investing in other industries. Apparently, we have heard the news."
The ducks know first when the river water warms in spring.
Qatar, the duck, must be the first to feel the current situation.
Yang Cheng remembered what David Pensel had said before, that Al Jazeera was considering stepping up its efforts and purchasing the broadcasting rights of the International Champions Cup in the Middle East and Africa at a high price.
This is also a gesture of goodwill to ourselves and the 12 top clubs.
"I heard that you also support Ceferin?" Yang Cheng changed the subject.
"Yes, Ceferin met with me and Greg Dyke in Northern Europe before. He promised that after taking office, he would support me in the election for FIFA president on behalf of UEFA."
"What about Van Praag?" Yang Cheng asked.
"He hasn't expressed his opinion yet!"
After hearing this, Yang Cheng was speechless.
Even at this point, Van Praag still couldn't see the situation clearly.
Sometimes, Yang Cheng feels that these old guys who play football are good at power struggles, but they appear stupid at critical moments and lack a keen sense of smell.
But to say that they are not good at power struggles is because they have emerged from various power struggles.
Perhaps the only explanation is that they are old!
"Your competitors this time are not strong. The most important thing is to gain enough political capital for yourself in the FIFA reform and to be able to stabilize and control the situation."
Yang Cheng gave David Gill some advice.
He is now qualified.
To a certain extent, if he doesn't support David Gill, the latter will have little chance of being elected!
Of course, the other candidates are not that good either.
For example, Prince Ali of Jordan, who just ran for Blatter in the election.
A relatively new example is the South African businessman Sykesville, who was Mandela's cellmate. He later became rich and became the chairman of the South African Football Association.
There is also Sheikh Salman of the Bahrain royal family, who is the president of the Asian Football Confederation.
But these people are indeed not a big threat to David Gill.
"I have spoken to Greg Dyke and the Minister of Sports. The situation is that if I am elected, the hosting rights of Russia and Qatar cannot be changed. Otherwise, the problems will become more serious."
Yang Cheng nodded.
This is not an easy thing to do.
A single move can affect the entire body.
FIFA cannot afford to have such major upheavals continuously.
"So, Ceferin and I have discussed that England will host the 2028 European Cup and the 2026 World Cup will be given to the United States. What do you think?"
David Gill sought Yang Cheng's advice.
He hasn't made a final decision yet, mainly because he is worried that Yang Cheng might also want to fight for the right to bid for the World Cup for his country.
After all, this is a rare opportunity!
But Yang Cheng smiled freely and easily.
"I'm fine."
After a pause, Yang Cheng smiled and said, "My country is now economically prosperous and does not need to rely on the World Cup to boost it."
"In terms of youth training and coach development, you have to remember to give us more support. We are seriously lacking now!"
The main reason is that the men's football team is too bad.
It is better to hide your shortcomings than to show them off.
David Gill breathed a sigh of relief.
If Yang Cheng also wants to bid for the World Cup, he will be in big trouble.
Like now, it's just too beautiful!
"That's definitely no problem. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to satisfy you." David Gill agreed on the spot.
"You still can't be careless. There's still a long time left for the election. Focus on internal reforms. This is your biggest trump card!"
David Gill nodded quickly in agreement.
He was well aware that reform was an inevitable trend.
Look at the elections of Ceferin and Van Praag, the two of them are the difference between the new generation of reformers and the old generation of reformers.
The current situation is very powerful for him.
With the support of Yang Cheng and the Supervisory Board, he is now the leader of FIFA's internal reform team. As long as he can produce the results of the reform before the election, who else can compete with him?
…
After meeting David Gill, Ceferin and Van Praag naturally came to pay their respects at the dock.
As I heard before, Ceferin is not only young, but also very methodical in his words and deeds, and has good eloquence. You can tell at first glance that he is an elite.
However, after meeting the two UEFA presidential candidates, Yang Cheng was pulled aside by Bayern chairman Rummenigge.
"I heard that you are planning to acquire Frankfurt?"
"Who told you that?" Yang Cheng was a little surprised.
This matter was handled very low-key, how come it was exposed so quickly?
Rummenigge noticed Yang Cheng's vigilance and said, "Don't worry. At most, only two or three people in Bayern know about this. It will never be spread outside. Other clubs probably don't know about it either."
After a pause, the Bayern chairman took the initiative to say: "Aren't you going to conduct due diligence on Frankfurt?"
Acquisitions, especially cross-border acquisitions, must be preceded by due diligence.
Otherwise, if you encounter a financial hole, who will you turn to for help?
Therefore, this matter cannot be concealed.
Once the media noticed the slightest clue, they immediately exposed it.
Of course, Yang Cheng had already made preparations for the follow-up.
"Don't worry, we support you to come in." Rummenigge said with a smile.
Fans will focus on results.
But as the operator of a club, I am actually more concerned about competitiveness.
In this era of globalization, if Bayern wants to further improve its competitiveness, it must break the limitations of the Bundesliga.
Introducing foreign capital is undoubtedly a very good choice.
What's more, once the restrictions are broken, can't Bayern also sell shares?
"You should start preparing now. There is still time. It is best to keep a low profile and wait until October when the results of the German Football Association presidential election come out." Rummenigge helped to give advice.
Only then did Yang Cheng believe that Rummenigge really supported his entry.
"When the time comes to vote, do you dare to publicly vote in support?" Yang Cheng asked with a bit of evil taste.
Rummenigge was speechless.
Obviously, he didn't dare.
In Germany, even a strong team like Bayern Munich dare not express its attitude publicly for fear of being gobbled up by the fans.
It is conceivable how deeply rooted the 50+1 policy is in Germany.
