424 Championship Declaration

On 22 November, the Premier League resumed after a two-week hiatus, with Liverpool drawn 0-0 at Middlesbrough, and Yang Cheng's side dropped out of the top four to fifth place as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle all beat their opponents.

Suddenly, the whole of England was completely fried.

Is this still the omnipotent Yang Cheng?

Is this still the invincible Liverpool?

Many authoritative media in England have begun to carry out a round of accusations against Yang Cheng, if it is not for his excessive reputation, I am afraid it will not just be accusations, but bombardment, they obviously believe that Liverpool under the coaching of Yang Cheng, although the offensive is stronger than that of Houllier, and the field is better-looking, but the state is more unstable.

Especially in recent times, Liverpool has begun to enter a state of twilight as the climate gets colder.

"We have all said that although Yang Cheng's set of tactics was amazing at the beginning of the season, as the league progresses, he will slowly feel that the physical fitness of the players is simply not enough to support the whole season.

The bombardment from the outside world allowed Liverpool to defeat the Bucharest Star 3-0 at home and advance to the round of 32 with an absolute advantage, and at this point, the League Cup schedule has also come to an end, and after the Champions League group stage is determined, the third of the 8 groups will enter the League Cup, and the 24 teams that will advance from the second round will form the round of 32, and then redraw.

The resumption of the war will not be until the end of February, which is good news for Liverpool.

And it was after playing the League Cup that Yang Cheng held an internal meeting of the team before welcoming Birmingham at home.

"Just a dozen days ago, when I was running, I met a Liverpool fan!"

In the conference room on the second floor of the Melwood Training Building, Yang Cheng sat opposite everyone, using the words he had prepared before, telling his experience at that time.

'He told me that he wanted to walk around the continent of England, past every Premier League stadium and then he would take pictures of them, and I did the math and so far, he's visited seven stadiums.

The players present are no strangers to this incident, Yang Cheng reposted this matter on his private Weibo, and every time the fan named Twinning released the latest news, Yang Cheng would forward it as soon as possible, and Liverpool's official website also responded as soon as possible.

There were five people in all, and Liverpool officials gave them high praise, and fans praised their actions.

This incident was also published in the newspaper outside, but because the recent rumors outside have focused on the criticism and accusations against Yang Cheng, the outside world has not paid much attention to the movements of these 5 players.

'At the time he told me that he was unemployed, he had no family, no job, even life was a problem, and he didn't want to not even have football, so he did it so that Liverpool could bounce back and rise again.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "My first reaction was that reason told me that this group of fools was doing useless work, whether they ran or not, and whether Liverpool could beat the opponent on the pitch had nothing to do with even a penny, but it didn't take long for me to think, is it really okay?" Think about it, is it really okay? ”

The players below were suddenly silent, but they all looked at Yang Cheng above.

"What does the outside world say, how those *** media criticize me, I don't care, I just care what you think? Answer me, do you think we are doomed? ”

The players shook their heads one after another.

"Can't speak?" Yang Cheng asked in an accentuated tone.

"No, sir!" Hyypia was the staunchest supporter of Yang Cheng, and he was the first to stand up and shake his head in denial.

"We will continue to support you!" Gerard also stepped up to take a stand.

"I can't think of anyone other than you who is qualified to lead the team!" Davis said a little arrogantly.

The players expressed their positions one after another, but Yang Cheng watched silently, and only after they finished speaking did he continue to speak.

"I don't think we're going to lose, it's only 5 points, but it's just the difference between the two games, I don't believe it, can't we even cross the 5-point level?" Yang Cheng also stood up, stretched out his right hand, and asked. "It's not a nightmare to lose to Manchester United, and although we have a million reasons why we don't want to lose, I would say that it's this game that deserves our attention, because he told us that we still have a big gap between us and the top teams in the Premier League. All the players nodded in unison.

'You've come to Liverpool for all sorts of reasons, but I'm sure no one is born with the desire to be a loser and I hope everyone can show the courage to come back and we're only five points away from each other.

After a pause, Yang Cheng continued: "I have made an appointment with a reporter, and I will publish my championship announcement on the front page of some newspapers tomorrow, I have said that I will kick Manchester United off the throne, and I have also said that I will bring Liverpool the title, I will bring glory to Liverpudlians. ”

"If I can't do that, if Liverpool don't win the title this season, it's a failure!"

"Anyway, I have already made up my mind and given it, whoever can keep up with me is qualified to stay in the team, and whoever can't keep up with ......"

Yang Cheng didn't continue, but everyone knew that he was determined to catch up with Manchester United and Arsenal in the standings, and he was going to risk everything to play with these two teams.

The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, who is the real brave and who is brave and unscrupulous, which will not be known until the end of the league.

In the world of football, it is always based on results, and it is an iron law to win or lose!

…………

…………

"No criticism of me can shake my determination, you can get the whole British media to bombard me, I will not waver, my goal remains the same, I want to kick Manchester United off the throne, I want to lead Liverpool to the title, if you can't do that, it will be a complete failure!"

"Now, none of you are qualified to comment on me, on my team, even if it's a substitution, a change, because the league is not over, if you want to attack me, you can, when the league is over and I lose, you can put me in hell, but if I win, or if the league is not over, I want all of you to ......"

Yang Cheng did not speak, but made a gesture of pulling the zipper in front of his mouth, signaling that the reporters should be silenced.

The group of reporters below was in an uproar one by one.

Isn't this tantamount to Yang Cheng's declaration of war against the British media?

It can be seen that this calm looking guy is also starting to get angry, after all, after losing to Manchester United, the British media began a series of accusations against Yang Cheng and Liverpool, and it is obvious that he can't hold his breath.

The difference between the British media and the Italian media is that in the face of Yang Cheng's declaration of war, the Italian media will generally bombard Yang Cheng's lack of grace and education, but the British media will not, they generally have a happy mentality, and even welcome Yang Cheng to declare war with them.

The day after Yang Cheng's declaration of war, the Times published the news on the front page, and also conducted a survey of Liverpool fans, which found that 97% of Liverpool fans generally welcomed the manager's declaration of war.

'Liverpool are a passionate team and we can see how passionate our Caesar is!'

'There is no doubt that the most impressive thing about Caesar is his fighting spirit and I hope that the team can play with the same fighting spirit and work ethic as our manager and continue to fight in the Premier League!'

"I'm sure Caesar will do what he says!"

As we all know, the Sun is contraband in Liverpool, and since the Hillsborough tragedy, their sales in Liverpool have plummeted from nearly 300,000 copies to less than 10,000 copies now, because of a series of false reports by The Sun.

But this newspaper is obviously crazy, especially when it comes to the thought that competitors are taking advantage of Yang Cheng's scarce resource to concoct news to increase sales, and they can only live by reprinting, they are eager to get first-hand information.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Cheng's championship announcement came out, the Sun newspaper published a declaration of victory on the front page of the next day.

The newspaper said it was not optimistic about Liverpool winning the championship and was willing to bet with Yang Cheng.

"I've heard that Caesar is the best at betting, and we're happy to make a bet with Caesar until the end of the season." But the next day, Yang Cheng published his counterattack in the Times, "I won't commit a fatal crime with a family, but I don't even have any contact with the newspaper at the very least, everyone knows who I'm talking about, I don't care about them at all, I don't take them seriously at all, who cares about them?" ”

The Sun was undoubtedly slapped the ear, which also made the Sun angry, and then began to prepare to bombard Yang Cheng and his Liverpool.

But who would have thought that on the third day of the championship declaration, Yang Cheng's team sat at home and won a key victory 3-0 over Birmingham City with goals from Gerrard, Robben and Murphy.

Unfortunately, Manchester United lost 1-0 at Chelsea and Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Fulham.

As a result, Liverpool's title winning situation has become cheerful again. Yang Cheng shook his head and sighed when he was interviewed by reporters at the press conference after the game.

"It's a pity, I originally thought that Manchester United could be stronger, at least until we catch up, but who ......knows" Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders with a regretful expression, which made the reporters present laugh in an uproar.

Everyone knows that he is falling into the trap and wants to take the opportunity to hit Manchester United.

"I think that if the problem of Manchester United's midfield is not solved, it will be difficult for their combat effectiveness to return to the level of last season, Arsenal's problem is the backline, I think playing Arsenal should defend and counterattack, especially suppressing the left side, Henry and Pire are always active in this area, suppressing their left side, and the attack will be less than half."

Yang Cheng is obviously taking the opportunity to teach his tricks to the Premier League teams.

This trick he learned from Ancelotti and Lippi is now just the right time to use it, appropriate!

'I'm very optimistic about Chelsea, I think the biggest rival for the title this season should be Chelsea, this team has a group of very good players, Ranieri is a top manager, but he has not been fully recognized and affirmed, I think now is a very good opportunity, Chelsea has given him such a platform, he should cherish it.

Yang Cheng's strategy of attacking from afar, co-opting Chelsea, and taking out Manchester United and Arsenal, the two traditional champion-winning teams, is not unshrewd, at least Ranieri should agree with his words.

You can't plant trees forever to cool off others, right? An old Italian man cried out in his heart in grief.

…………

On December 3, in the round of 16 knockout round of the League Cup, Liverpool hosted Bolton, Yang Cheng did his best to substitute the lineup, and as a result, with Aarau Diarra's header inserted in the back row at a critical moment, Liverpool narrowly defeated Bolton 3:2 at home and successfully entered the top 8 of the League Cup.

After this game, the FA made a draw and Liverpool met the Saints Southampton in the last eight knockout rounds.

Back in the Premier League, in the 15th round, Liverpool challenged Newcastle away.

Shearer's Magpies are a major force in the Premier League and are equally ambitious this season looking to make a difference in the Premier League, although as the new season begins, they are gradually finding that there is no hope of winning the title, after all, with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, they have little chance of winning the title.

But at the very least, they hope to continue to play in the European Champions Cup as they did last season.

In other words, they are ready to squeeze Liverpool out of the top four in the league as they did last season.

Sitting at home, facing Liverpool, old enemy Bobby Robson is not a believer, he does not believe that he will never win against Yang Cheng, especially when he thinks of the breath in his heart when Barcelona lost to Kaiserslautern in the Cup Winners' Cup final, the English gentleman is eager to prove himself with a victory.

And it turns out that there is really no such thing as luck in this world.

Bobby Robson wanted to be the exception when everyone thought that the best way to play Liverpool was to defend and counter-attack, but sadly, he was once again the norm and was the object of everyone's ridicule.

Because the next day the Times published the news, "Bobby Robson proved one thing with his not-so-good backline, and that is what a crazy thing it is to play against Liverpool, it's like putting your gun in the hands of the enemy and telling him, shoot me, please!" The Guardian's headline was milder, but there was no lack of ridicule, "4:0, non-international convention, home team behind, away team in front, Liverpool beat Newcastle 4-0, suffered another heavy defeat after a 0-5 defeat away to Chelsea!" ”

Magpies fans can only sadly find that their team was beaten by Liverpool, and the backline, led by Woodgate, scored four goals, which became Given's second nightmare of the season and Bobby Robson's.

On the contrary, Liverpool, after winning Newcastle, won two consecutive victories in the Premier League, and in the 15th round, Arsenal and Chelsea both suffered draws, and only Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 4-0.

In doing so, Liverpool overtook Chelsea and occupied third place in the Premier League behind Manchester United and Arsenal, who have returned to the top of the table.

"Ferguson better give me a good look at his league top, I'm here!" Yang Chengxiao's interview appeared in Sky TV's post-match interview. "When he and his Liverpool can keep up with us!" Ferguson shot back.

In the 16th round of the league, Manchester United won the Manchester derby 3-1 and beat Manchester City to continue their lead in the league leadership, with Paul Scholes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the best performers.

Yang Cheng had to shake his head and sigh, without Xiao Xiaoluo, Ferguson reused Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United's overall strength has not been weakened much, the so-called weakening is more for the top teams, as for other teams in the Premier League, frankly speaking, it is really not at the same level as the first army.

Liverpool beat Southampton 2-1 at home to make it three wins in a row and continue to chase Manchester United and Arsenal in the table, with the latter beating Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at home, while Chelsea lost 2-1 at home to Bolton.

Now the Premier League title race is becoming clearer and clearer.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are on the cusp of winning the title, with Newcastle continuing to keep the pressure on fourth-placed Chelsea despite a 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in this round, but their chances of winning the title are slim.

Of the four teams, Manchester United are very good overall, and Ferguson knows everything about this team well, and the ability to control it is something that no one else has, so they are the favourites to win the title.

Arsenal have lost one game so far this season, but there have been plenty of draws, which has made them second only to Manchester United in the table, and Arsene Wenger's side have been immediate, with the exception of the one against Liverpool, the rest of the games have been impressive, so many fans have high hopes for them.

On the contrary, it is Liverpool, a team that has just undergone a reorganization and a change of coach, to be able to keep up with the pace of the championship at the first time, it is indeed a bit surprising, Yang Cheng's coaching level is vividly shown in this Liverpool team, and even many people feel that in Inter Milan, Yang Cheng's coaching level has been covered up under the light of the star, and in Liverpool, he has bloomed again, at least his many adjustments and changes this season are impeccable.

As for Chelsea, it is customary to enter December weakness, and it depends on whether Ranieri can adjust the team's form as soon as possible like Yang Cheng and get out of the predicament.

As the Christmas spirit began to prevail throughout Europe and the United States, Liverpool travelled to Southampton and, after a tough 90 minutes, won 1-0 away from home thanks to Hamann's long-range strike to reach the semi-finals against Aston Villa.

But just after this game, Yang Cheng did not return to Liverpool with the team, and the midfielder he was looking for finally had news. (To be continued) [This text is provided by the ghost of sailing, bring two goods]
