Chapter 290 The Head Coach of the Future World Cup Champion

The World Cup continues.

Although Pan Yi's accurate prediction of Italy's 2:1 victory over England shocked Abramovich and others, what surprised them even more was yet to come.

哥斯达黎加在以3：1战胜乌拉圭后，居然又以1：0战胜意大利，并以0：0战平英格兰，最后以小组第一的身份出线了！

Although Uruguay lost in the first round, they defeated England 2:1 in the next two fierce battles, and then defeated Italy 1:0, and advanced to the second place in the group!

In the decisive battle between Uruguay and Italy, the two sides also staged the famous scene of Suarez "eating raw" Chiellini.

But no matter what, Pan Yi's "anti-routine" prediction for such a death group actually hit all of them, which is too incredible.

Of course, for the Chelsea executives headed by Abramovich, of course they will not think about what kind of time traveler the other party is;

In their view, this is the coach Pan Yi's ultimate understanding of each team and his super tactical analysis ability are at work!

Reminiscent of the rumors in the market, Pan Yi also knows almost every opponent's coach and player in the league and the Champions League, and can propose very clear targeted tactics;
Well, Pan Yi analyzed the World Cup teams and gave his own predictions, and he was able to hit every shot, which is actually within a reasonable range... right?

In short, whether it was Pan Yi's conversation when watching the game that day or his accurate prediction of the World Cup, Abramovich couldn't put it down for Pan Yi.

If the coach is like this, what can the husband ask for?
Therefore, during the World Cup, Chelsea also contacted Pan Yi many times, hoping to confirm it as soon as possible and start the contract process.

As for Pan Yi, apart from traveling around Brazil to watch football, go to the beach in Rio de Janeiro to bask in the sun, etc., he is indeed dealing with similar things.

Because apart from Chelsea, other clubs are also anxious!

The coach is the head of a team. Without a coach, Xia Chuang's work such as signings, sales, contract terminations, and loans would be difficult to carry out.

Therefore, Pan Yi's so-called "enjoy life" can only be put aside for now.

And judging from so many olive branches thrown at him now, there are really few players who can play as well as Chelsea.

Not to mention Bayern, Barcelona, ​​and Manchester United who were eliminated in the "preliminary" stage.

Let's just talk about the two teams that entered the "finals" before.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, compare them to Chelsea.

In terms of power, Manchester City and Chelsea are basically equal, and they both promised to give Pan Yi the highest competitive authority, allowing him to do whatever he wants.

And Tottenham have doubts.

As Pan Yi knew, Levi was a very controlling boss, and he didn't even come forward to discuss these matters with Pan Yi in person, so Pan Yi still didn't quite believe their promises.

In terms of money, Manchester City and Chelsea are still basically the same.

Of course, this is also what Pan Yi knows from his previous life experience.

In terms of spending money, these two teams really dare to write a check!

As long as the coach likes it and the players are willing to come, it's not a big deal to throw out tens of millions of dollars!
Who made them all have rich masters behind them?

So... Spurs are still in doubt.

Although Levi will also invest money in Tottenham, it is almost meaningless compared with the above two.

And judging from the salary of the players, Tottenham have always been at a relatively poor level, which has led to a certain disadvantage in retaining them.

For example, Harry Kane, their later core, has been rumored to be leaving, but this upright boy stayed at Tottenham with a lower salary after being fooled by Levi, continuing his championship-less career journey of……

Who made Levi fundamentally a businessman?
Compared with Abramovich and Mansour, two big bosses who purely play football, it is really incomparable.

Then look at the current honor.

None of the three teams have the Champions League, this is the same.

That's better than the domestic, England's top league champions.

Manchester City 2 times in ancient times, 2 times after Mansour took over, a total of [-] times.

Chelsea won it once in the 50s and three times in the Abramovich era, a total of four times.

Tottenham are the worst, winning twice in the 60s, and have not won the championship since entering the Premier League.

If the FA Cup is added, Tottenham have 8 times, Manchester City 5 times and Chelsea 7 times.

In general, the honor rooms of these three teams are not much different, but Tottenham's recent situation is even worse, and the most recent championship trophy they won was in the 90s.

So on Pan Yi's side, Tottenham "leads" on this one.

But if you combine the above three points, that is, consider power and money, Manchester City and Chelsea can be said to be far ahead of Tottenham!

After all, whether it is Manchester City or Chelsea, there is a lack of heavyweight champions and "godfather" figures in the history of their clubs.

Creating his own history in such a team can actually satisfy Pan Yi's desire for honor.

From this moment on, the ones who really entered the "finals" became Manchester City and Chelsea!
And the final final depends on the sincerity shown by these two teams.

Here, the Chelsea team led by Abramovich has shown a huge advantage.

The first is this lobby lineup.From the boss to the chairman to the CEO, they took turns to fight, and everyone wanted to drag Pan Yi to Stamford Bridge immediately.

As for Manchester City, it was Chairman Mubarak who came forward to talk, and the grade was a little bit worse.

Then there is salary.Abramovich is very straightforward, if you want the world's first salary, I will give you an annual salary of 2000 million euros, come on!
As for Manchester City, since the current coach Pellegrini's annual salary is only about 500 million euros, Mubarak has doubts about giving Pan Yi such a high price all at once.

This also reflects the difference between him and Abramovich.

Because Abu is the boss, he will give if he asks;
And Mubarak is a worker, and the coach under him wants such a large amount of salary, and he also has to report it to Mansour.

Finally, and the most critical point.

That is, Abramovich is very eager for Pan Yi to succeed Mourinho and create a new dynasty for Chelsea.

Although Manchester City also admires Pan Yi very much, Pellegrini's performance has also been recognized to a certain extent because he won the Premier League championship in the past 2013-2014 season.

Although they suffered a disastrous defeat at the feet of Pan Yi in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, this is still Manchester City's best record in the history of the UEFA Champions League...

Therefore, Manchester City's top management still has a certain degree of hesitation on whether to use Pan Yi to replace Pellegrini, and is not as determined as Abramovich.

After all, replacing a coach who just won the championship is a certain risk and requires a certain courage!
Such hesitation will also be unintentionally revealed during the interview process and reflected in some details-such as the determination of salary.

And the level of salary itself largely represents how much the club values ​​you!

Therefore, at the end of this tug-of-war, Pan Yi gradually leaned towards Chelsea psychologically.

After all, I do "owe" them a Champions League!
-
"What do you think of today's game?"

Brazil, Belo Horizonte, Mineiro Stadium.

It's also in the VIP box, but there are only two people in it today.

Abu and Pan Yi.

After two or three weeks of fierce fighting, the World Cup has entered the semi-finals, and the "love" between Pan Yi and Chelsea has also been determined, and the official announcement is short.

And most of the details they talked about were finalized during the process of watching the game.

This is also why Abramovich has seen that Pan Yi is not only a professional coach, but also a real football lover.

So invite Pan Yi to the VIP box to watch the game together, one please be sure!

For Pan Yi, why not do it if someone pays him to watch the game?

What's more, although the boss Abu is rich in billions, he is still very close to the billions, and he doesn't have any airs. It is quite a pleasure to chat with him.

So the two drank wine and watched the ball, and gradually arranged the work plan for the next season.

The first thing to do is of course the coaching staff.

Since Chelsea's original configuration is very complete, Pan Yi basically did not make any major changes to it.

Except for a few coaches who have been following Mourinho and came to Chelsea because of Mourinho.

They are also Portuguese.

After Abramovich announced that he would break up peacefully with Mourinho again, they also left with Mourinho.

They are goalkeeping coach Silvino, fitness coach Rui Faria, and assistant coach Jose Morais.

For the vacancy caused here, Pan Yi quickly had a countermeasure.

The fitness coach is easy to handle. He brings a Pintus with him.

Even if the original one didn't leave, there was no place for him.

As for the goalkeeper coach, Pan Yi intends to let the team's almost 42-year-old Australian veteran goalkeeper Schwarzer first.

Yes, it is the goalkeeper who made Huang Jianxiang say in the 2006 World Cup that "Schwarzer once saved two penalties in the play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers. Totti should know this well..." The commentary .

He is now in the semi-retired stage, and he stays in the team as the third goalkeeper. Basically, he has no chance to play, so let him continue to shine in the team.

As for the assistant coach, because Pan Yi's own Inzaghi and Nagelsmann have their own prospects in the past two years, Pan Yi decided to continue to use Chelsea's original Steve Holland, and then outside Find someone who is young, obedient, and energetic.

The tactical level of this person is not important, the important thing is to have a good relationship with the players in the team and unite the atmosphere in the locker room.

After thinking about it, Pan Yi called a player who is currently playing for Serie A Atalanta.

He is an Argentine defender who is 36 years old and is already considering retirement.

He is Scaloni—

The head coach who will lead the Argentine national team to win the World Cup in the future in the 2022 World Cup!
Scaloni's career wasn't particularly stellar, but it wasn't bad either.

He spent his career golden period in La Coruña, played for nine seasons, played 200 league games, and won the 2000 La Liga championship.

Yes, he was one of the 'Super Depor' and has gone down in the club's history as a member of the team's golden era.

Later, he also played for West Ham United in the Premier League, and he has some understanding of the Premier League.

At the end of his career, he arrived in Serie A, first at Lazio and then at Atalanta.

However, during the two years in Atlanta, he only played 12 times for the team in total, and he is basically in a semi-retired state.

In the normal timeline, after retiring, Scaloni first went to Sevilla as an assistant coach for a year, then went to the Argentine national team as an assistant coach, and then became the head coach of the U20 national team and the national team.

Everyone knows what happened after that.

Under his leadership, the Argentine national team was united as never before, and everyone surrounded Messi. They won the Copa America and the World Cup in one fell swoop, and achieved the reputation of the club king.

Pan Yi chose him because of his ability to control the locker room. Of course, his tactical ability in the 2022 World Cup is also very good.

Take the four games of the knockout round as an example:

To play against Australia, with me as the main player, I adopted 433 and led 2-0 in the opening game;

Playing against the Netherlands, changed to 532, restrained the opponent's fierce counterattack, and ended the first half with a 2-0 lead, which made the old coach Van Gaal very embarrassed for a while;

Playing against Croatia, aiming at the powerful midfield of the Grid Army, once again changed to 442, and came up with two saps to stun the most tenacious opponent;
In the final against France, the formation was changed back to 433 again, and the frontcourt ran wildly and strangled, and got a 2-0 lead early...

In other words, after Scaloni became a coach, at least he did a good job of researching and targeting his opponents before the game.

It's just that he still has a certain gap compared with many famous coaches in terms of substitution adjustment and on-the-spot response. This is one of the reasons why Argentina is often equalized after taking the lead.

But it doesn't matter, now Pan Yi will make a move.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to take such a future World Cup champion coach under his command and train him well?
After receiving Pan Yi's call, Scaloni did not hesitate too much, so he retired on the spot and chose to join Chelsea's coaching staff.

Although Scaloni doesn't know what Pan Yi likes about him, but a newly promoted Triple Crown head coach asks you to be an assistant coach, what else can you hesitate?

Among other things, he can only get a weekly salary of [-] in Atlanta, but he can directly raise it to [-] in Chelsea...

By the way, since Pintus is the replacement of the original fitness coach Rui Faria, the salary is also inherited.

As a result, Pintus also raised his weekly salary from 4000 euros to [-] euros!

Pan Yi knew that this little bald head was worth the price! ——
"This game...it's not easy to say."

Looking at the players from both sides who were lining up on the field, Pan Yi said with his head sideways.

Today's game is the host Brazil against Germany!

And tomorrow, it will be another semi-final, Argentina vs. Netherlands.

In other words, the matchup between the top four is exactly the same as the situation Pan Yi knew in his previous life.

Therefore, in this battle between Brazil and Germany, in theory, the famous 7:1 should also be kicked out. Why did Pan Yi say "it's not easy to say"?

The reason is simple. In today's game, both sides' starting lineups have players who have been deeply influenced by Pan Yi!
For the Brazil team, top star Neymar has bid farewell to the World Cup due to injury, captain Thiago Silva has also been suspended for yellow cards, and Chelsea player David Luiz has taken over the captain's armband.

Of course, in addition to David Luiz, there are three other Chelsea players in the Brazil team: Ramires, Willian and Oscar.

Of course, these are not the key points, because this is the same as Pan Yi's previous life.

Something different happened in Brazil's midfield.

The partner with the double midfielder is Hamburg double star Casemiro + Paulinho!

Instead of Gustavo + Fernandinho in Pan Yi's previous life.

Although it is only a change of two people, it is likely to change the situation of the battle to a great extent.

Anyone who has watched the famous semi-final knows that the interception of the Brazilian midfielder at that time was useless, especially Fernandinho. Like a second product.

Even in his previous life, Fernandinho was replaced directly after only half of the game, which shows how badly he played.

But it's different now.

Casemiro, who matured early, played the main role, coupled with Paulinho, who is both offensive and defensive, Brazil's waist straightened up.

If the German team wants to beat Brazil four or five times in an instant, it may not be so easy.

In the German team, there will be fewer changes, but there is also a Hamburg player Rudiger standing on the court to start.

He replaced Dortmund's Hummels and partnered with Jr. Boateng as a central defender.

In the position of the main left back, the head coach of the German team Loew, who is a fan of Pan Yi, really chose Hewedes, whom Pan Yi had recommended to him, and the young Draxler was also brought in.

In the German team, there is also a Chelsea player, that is winger Schurrle.

In other words, in such a World Cup semi-final, a semi-final between two super teams, a total of five Chelsea players participated, from which we can also see the strength of some Chelsea clubs.

"It's hard to say?" Hearing Pan Yi's answer, Abu was a little surprised.

Watching football with him before, Pan Yi said many games were accurate, which made Abramovich feel more and more that Pan Yi's level of coach is unfathomable.

But today, he is not sure?

"Brazil has the advantage of the home field, but at the same time the pressure is even greater." Pan Yi thought for a while, and analyzed quite, "and they lack the ace Neymar in front and the captain Silva in the back, so the impact is still great. Relatively As far as the German team is strong and strong, I am still more optimistic about the German team."

"Oh..." Abu nodded.

Although it is not as thorough and detailed as the previous analysis, it is enough.

I just thought Germany would win.

But it is not easy to make such a prediction, after all, most people are still optimistic about the host.

For Pan Yi, although the Brazilian team has made important changes in the midfield, as he said just now, the absence of Neymar and Silva has indeed had a great impact on the Brazilian team, so it is estimated that the German team still has a good chance of winning.

Of course, Abramovich doesn't really care about who will win this game. He cares more about his Chelsea.

After the referee blew the opening whistle on the field, Abramovich immediately shifted the topic to the club:
"You have confirmed the coaching staff, what about the players? Do you have any ideas? Just ask if you have any requirements."

Pan Yi nodded lightly, almost giving Abu a thumbs up and saying, "Boss is grand!"

But to be honest, in a big team like Chelsea, there are really not as many adjustments to the lineup as when we first arrived in Hamburg.

For example, the five players in Brazil and Germany in front of us are all in their twenties when they should be playing.

In addition, there are also "London's only ball king" Hazard, super jack-of-all-trades Azpilicueta, Serbian iron waist Matic, "not afraid of what happens, only afraid of Ivan" with a knife in the Chelsea team. Defender Ivanovic...

These are still in the first team.

Chelsea, which is known as a "taxi", has countless young talents just thrown outside for training.

For example, Pan Yi just defeated Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals, and their main goalkeeper Courtois was rented out from Chelsea;
For another example, Lukaku, known as the "little monster", was also rented out at Everton last season. Due to his excellent performance, he has been asked to buy out.

Anything is a treasure!

In Chelsea's youth team, there are also some stars who can be kicked out in the future, such as Ake and Cheek.

Of course, the boss's money is not wasted.

It's just that under such circumstances, Pan Yi's spending strategy will be quite different from before. He doesn't need to buy a lot, but he must buy carefully!
Before buying or promoting young players into the first team, it is necessary to reduce the current lineup.

"Currently in the first team, the contracts of five people are about to expire." Pan Yi explained his thoughts to Abramovich, "And I will only renew the contract with captain Terry, and let the other four go."

"What?" Abu was obviously a little shocked.

Because among these five people, in addition to Terry and a 38-year-old goalkeeper Hilario, there are also famous players such as Eto'o, Lampard, and Ashley Cole!

And like Lampard, it can be said to be a club legend.

The reason why the contract has not been renewed is also waiting for the new head coach to confirm.

But now that Pan Yi came, he just gave up almost all of them!
However, Abu did not say anything.

He knew that Pan Yi must have his own reasons.

"My team needs to be younger." Sure enough, Pan Yi immediately began to say his reasoning, "These people are too old, and they can no longer maintain a high level of competition."

Of course, the latter sentence is the key.

In Pan Yi's previous life, after leaving Chelsea, Eto'o could only play in Everton, Sampdoria and other teams, and his performances and goals were far from his best level.

Ashley Cole is similar. After going to Rome, he couldn't play the main force. In the end, he could only go to the Los Angeles Galaxy of the American Major League to retire.

In fact, Lampard's level is still very good, but when he later said "I'm not familiar with Abramovich" when Abramovich sold Chelsea, Pan Yi was still a bit shy about him, so he should clear it as soon as possible. Alright.

Terry was like none of them.

He was a product of Chelsea's youth academy and remained loyal to Chelsea all his life.

Since October 1998, Terry has played for the Blues first team for 10 years since he came off the bench in the English League Cup against Aston Villa.

Pan Yi believed that even if he offered to cut Terry's salary by half to renew his contract, the Jagged captain would agree without hesitation.

Pan Yi also believes that having him in the locker room can also help him stabilize the team's mood.

Of course, Pan Yi also knows that the 33-year-old Terry can still maintain a first-class competitive state in the next few years.

There are John Terry + David Luiz + Gary Cahill, plus the almighty Ivanovic and Azpilicueta and others...

Pan Yi even felt that with such a lineup, it was more than enough to play the three-back formation that he had imagined for a long time!
Of course, getting rid of those veterans who are already a bit "highly paid and low-powered" is also good for improving the team's salary structure.

The weekly salary of the three of them is between 15 euros and 20 euros, and they can still save a lot of money after the contract is terminated.

Although he is already in a big and rich club, Pan Yi still can't change his "problem" of careful calculation.

Alas, who told the children of poor families to be in charge of the family early!
