After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 299 Humans and ghosts are all on show, only Manchester United is being beaten!

"The face of The Sun appears to be swollen from a beating."

In the studio of "Sky Sports", the host Lineker is analyzing the Premier League match between Chelsea and Burnley.

"It was the most lopsided first-half game in the Premier League and it looks like it will be the most lopsided in the end."

"The Sun said that Pan Yi may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and he will also be taught by the tough playing style of the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, but now it seems that there is no such thing at all."

"Whether it is technical or fighting, Chelsea have shown superior strength. I don't see Burnley having any hope of a comeback. No, it should be that the hope of scoring a goal is very slim."

"Gary, I remember you didn't like this brand new Chelsea team before the game, what do you think now?"

In the end, Lineker threw the question to Gary Neville, who sat across from him.

Also present on the show today are their old friends, Roy Keane, who is also a famous Manchester United star, Jamie Carragher, a famous Liverpool star, Gianfranco Zola, a famous Chelsea star, and the famous former England striker Alan Shearer.

Facing Lineker's question, Neville showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he still replied:

"The result of such a game is actually predictable."

"The value of Hazard alone in the Chelsea team is as high as that of the Burnley team, and his weekly salary is almost the sum of all the players in the Burnley first team."

"So, this is an unfair contest. Pan Yi has nothing to brag about winning such a contest."

But at this moment, Neville's good friend Carragher suddenly said:
"Falcao's weekly salary is 35 euros."

"Di Maria's weekly salary is 32.5 euros, Wayne Rooney is also the same figure."

"Robin van Persie earns 27.5 euros a week... yes, these guys are Manchester United players and they all make more than Hazard's 25 euros a week."

"In Swansea's team, the highest weekly salary is their French striker Buffettbis Gomi, Iceland midfielder Sigurdsson, and Poland goalkeeper Fabianski, almost all in five years. about ten thousand euros."

"but……"

Carragher didn't finish his sentence.

But everyone understood what he was going to say.

In a game earlier in the first round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 1:2 to Swansea at home!

In this game, Manchester United coach Van Gaal also resorted to the 343 formation he is good at, but he played stumblingly and did not achieve good results.

Swansea turned away, and in the 28th minute, Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yong opened the scoring.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney pulled back a goal, but in the 72nd minute, Swansea "Icelandic sniper" Sigurdsson sealed the victory with a long shot.

In the end, Manchester United, who was ten times more valuable than their opponents, swallowed the bitter fruit of failure at home at Old Trafford and got a black start to the season.

And Carragher just compared the weekly salary of some Manchester United players with Swansea players, which is to tell Gary Neville that although sometimes the worth and weekly salary can explain some problems, they cannot explain all the situations.

Similarly, Pan Yi's Chelsea can play so well away from home, but Manchester United can't play against Swansea at home...

Of course, Carragher dares to jump face output now because Liverpool also won in the first round. With the goals of Sturridge and Sterling, they defeated the "Saints" Southampton at home. , made a good start to the season.

In addition, several other strong teams have also won victories.

After being rejected by Pan Yi, Tottenham chose the Argentine Pochettino to coach. Kill the opponent in 1 minutes.

Manchester City, who was also rejected by Pan Yi, continued to use Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini as the head coach. They also defeated Newcastle United 2-0. David Silva and Aguero shined and scored a goal each.

Finally, there is Arsenal. Under the leadership of old coach Arsene Wenger, the arsenal is still playing steadily. After winning the Community Shield, they beat Crystal Palace 2:1 in the first round of the Premier League. The goals of Koscielny and Ramsey are guaranteed won this victory.

That is to say...

After many games in the first round of the Premier League were over, "People and ghosts are all on the show, only Manchester United is being beaten!"

For Carragher's ridicule, Neville still forcefully explained:
"This is the first game. Maybe Van Gaal hasn't fully instilled his tactical philosophy in the players."

"In addition to the impact of injuries, like Falcao and Van Persie failed to play in the first game, this also affected Manchester United's strength to a certain extent."

"And Swansea played really well, and luck is on their side. I dare say that Sigurdson's long-range shot, even if he shoots ten times, he may not be able to hit it..."

In this regard, Carragher laughed: "But that's not what you said about Chelsea just now."

At this time, Roy Keane hurried out to make a clearance for Neville: "Let's go back to this game. Now that we have entered the second half of the game, and Chelsea still lead Burnley by 3 goals, this game should be without Suspense."

At the same time, it is actually helping yourself out.

As a Manchester United star, if the topic of the guests has been entangled in Manchester United's loss in the first round, then Roy Keane will also feel embarrassed.

After all, before the start of the season, he and Neville also vowed that Manchester United will definitely turn around under the leadership of Van Gaal this season and return to the championship ranks!

"Yes, Chelsea played really well in this half." Lineker didn't want to hear them bickering, so he called out the data panel of the first half and put it on the big screen.

The ball possession rate is 75% to 25%, the shooting is 12 to 1, and the number of corner kicks is 8:1. No matter which data, Chelsea is crushing.

"I think the football shown by Chelsea in this half of the game is already very indicative of Pan Yi's level." Lineker continued, "His 343 formation is even better than when he was in Hamburg. It's more fluid and more controlled. Of course, that's probably why he chose to play 343-343-[-] at Chelsea, because he knew he needed to fight a lot of tough battles like today, and [-]-[-]-[-] can be handled more flexibly."

Alan Shearer also agreed with Lineker's statement, and then he also put forward his own additional views.

"Although Chelsea's center Lukaku wasted some opportunities today, his role in the frontcourt is outstanding."

"We also watched a lot of his loan games at Everton last season, but none of them were as comprehensive as his performance today."

"In coach Pan Yi's 343, Lukaku can not only compete for the top in the penalty area, but also retreat to play the ball, or cooperate with teammates who are plugging in."

"At this point, Pan Yi may have really activated Lukaku and made the Belgian teenager realize that he can do more on the court. This may be why Pan Yi insisted on recalling Lukaku to the first team this season. Reason."

"Of course, the two wingers on both sides of Lukaku, including the two wing backs, performed exceptionally well. Eden Hazard and Bernard Silval scored a goal each, which also proved their respective strengths. "

It can be seen that Alan Shearer is full of praise for the performance of Chelsea's striker.

As the top scorer in the history of the Premier League and the famous striker who has won the top scorer of the Premier League twice, Alan Shearer's evaluation is obviously very valuable and very informative.

Gary Neville said sourly: "This is the first game, maybe there are some luck problems. Some forwards..."

Before the words fell, Lukaku on the broadcast screen received a long pass from Marcos Alonso, shook his head and hit the goal, rewriting the score to 0:4.

Gary Neville immediately changed his words: "Chelsea's striker may have performed really well in this game, but this has something to do with the opponent's weak strength."

"Although Chelsea's schedule this season is very good and there are no strong opponents in the first four rounds, I still think that apart from Burnley, it will be difficult for them to take advantage of the next few opponents."

"Just talk about their opponents in the next round. Leicester City is the champion of the British Championship, and their strength is much stronger than Burnley!"

"In the first round, Leicester City drew with last season's No.5 Everton, showing a strong strength."

"Whether it's the goalkeeper Schmeichel, the defender captain Morgan, the midfielder Andy King, Drinkwater, or the striker Riyad Mahrez, and the newly purchased Hamburg player Vardy! The abilities of these players are really impressive. It's not something Burnley can match."

"So, unless Chelsea can win Leicester City in the next round, I still don't think their result against Burnley is that good to brag about!..."

Alan Shearer and Lineker looked at each other, both showing helpless eyes.

"Then, let's make a bet." Zola, who had been sitting by the side and kept silent, couldn't stand Neville's nonsense, and suddenly said to Neville.

The diminutive former Italian striker is one of the greatest players in Chelsea history.

When Chelsea had not received Abramovich's capital injection and was still a mid-range team, Zola led Chelsea to two FA Cup titles and one European Cup Winners' Cup. He was also elected as England's FWA Footballer of the Year and Inducted into the England Football Hall of Fame.

And there is one thing that can prove his important position in the Chelsea club, that is, after he retired, Chelsea's No. 25 jersey was permanently sealed!
Zola obviously also loves Chelsea deeply. After Pan Yi joined the team, he was extremely excited because he believed that Pan Yi could lead Chelsea to glory!

The first match played by Pan Yi led the team today also proved this point.

But Neville kept saying here that Chelsea was just lucky or the opponent was weak... Zola finally couldn't help it.

"What bet?" Neville glanced at Zola.

"Just bet on Chelsea's next game." Zola said confidently, "If Chelsea wins Leicester City, then you have to treat all of us to dinner..."

"How can there be such a cheap thing?" Neville interrupted Zola, "Anything can happen in a football match. If Chelsea wins again with shit luck, how can I reason?"

Zola stared: "Didn't you say that Chelsea can't win Leicester City?"

"You can gamble, but unless..." Neville said while checking Chelsea's schedule, and then said, "Unless they can keep five rounds... no, seven rounds unbeaten, I will give up!"

Neville spoke so confidently this time because he saw that Chelsea's opponent in the fifth round will be the last Premier League champion Manchester City, and their opponent in the seventh round will be Arsenal, which just won the Community Shield.

No matter how strong Chelsea is, can you really pass the two hurdles of Manchester City and Arsenal?
"Okay, just bet!" But what Neville didn't expect was that Zola agreed without hesitation.

He just wants to express his breath for Chelsea!

Of course, there is one more important point, that is, he really has confidence in Pan Yi!

Then Zola added: "We don't want to wait until Chelsea is unbeaten for seven rounds, and I don't want you to treat me anymore. Let's bet like this. As long as Chelsea wins a game, you can publicly call Pan Yi once on our program." Just be the best coach in the world!"

Upon hearing the Italian say that, all the guests in the studio laughed.

Everyone knows that Gary Neville has always been displeased with Pan Yi, and he can be said to be the number one "anti-Pan faction".

Asking him to say "Pan Yi is the best coach in the world" is simply more uncomfortable than killing him!
"That... that's fine!" How could Neville admit defeat in front of so many people?Gritting his teeth and heart, he agreed, "Then what if you lose?"

Zola said with a smile: "Then I will say on the program that Pan Yi is the most rubbish coach in the world, get out of class from Chelsea!"

Lineker clapped his hands and laughed: "Great, this is too effective for the show! Audience friends, you have to help me remember this bet!"

Alan Shearer also laughed: "I can't wait for the league to start next week..."
-
In Chelsea's away game against Burnley, the final score was 0:4, and Chelsea won easily.

This also became the game with the largest score gap among the first 10 games of the Premier League.

With this victory, Chelsea also climbed to the top of the Premier League standings with an advantage of four goal difference after the first round!
Such a result not only attracted the attention of the entire Premier League, but also the entire European football world.

After all, what Pan Yi played in this game is really amazing!

He not only mercilessly abandoned the 433 formation that he had used in Milan and Hamburg before, but also kicked out a jaw-dropping new 343 formation with a group of young players in his hands!

The reason why it is called a brand new 343 is that it is very different from the 343 used by Van Gaal at Manchester United.

Van Gaal believes that the opponent's center is often heavily defended, and it will be difficult to attack the center. Moreover, if the attack fails in the center and then moves to the side, the opponent's defensive force will move quickly.

But the main attack on the wing is different. You can bypass the layers of defense in the opponent's center. If the opponent concentrates their defensive forces on one side, the other side must be empty and there will be space to use. On the wing, there will inevitably be gaps available in the ribs.

Therefore, when Van Gaal's 343 is attacking, the full-backs do not advance forward, and the two midfielders pull to the side to become full-backs. They cooperate with the wingers on the wing to advance on the ground, or the back line directly makes a long pass to find behind the opponent's full-back. Use the speed of the winger to tear through the opponent's defense.

That is to say, when organizing an attack, the ball is passed along the route of "sideways-backcourt-sideways". Players in the middle of the midfield must keep their positions at all times to receive the ball safely, and there is no room for advancement on one side. , he has to catch the pass back, and then find a way to move to the other side.

Under this kind of tactical thinking, when attacking, the team's position is often three people (full-back, full-back, winger) on each side (full-back, full-back, winger), Rooney or Van Persie is in front, and the wide area in the middle of the midfield is all handed over to Card. Rick and Fellaini, the team seemed to form a circle with Carrick and Fellaini in the middle.

Therefore, this style of play is also dubbed the "big circle" tactic by Manchester United fans.

The essence of the big circle tactics is that the ball resolutely does not stay in the midfield, but moves quickly along the sideways.

But the problem is that Manchester United lost the first game, and it also showed the limitations of this big circle tactic in the game.

Swansea's double defensive midfielders Shelvey and Ki Chengyong are staring at Manchester United's Carrick and Fellaini, which greatly reduces the power of the big circle tactics.

Especially once Carrick, as the "eye of the formation", is restricted, it will be difficult for him to undertake the important task of shifting the team's main attack direction, which leads to constipation in Manchester United's offense.

Pan Yi's Chelsea is different.

In his 343 formation, almost only two central defenders Terry and Cahill and goalkeeper Courtois did not participate in the offense on a large scale, and the remaining 8 players were actively besieging Burnley's gate!

Take Lukaku as an example, on his left are Hazard and Marcos Alonso, on his right are the B seat and Azpilicueta, and directly behind him is Kan. Te and Matic, and even central defender David Luiz.

These players are connected into an organic whole, and almost every player will make his own contribution in every offensive cooperation.

Coupled with the technical skills of these players, coupled with a wide range of active running, this makes Chelsea's entire frontcourt more closely integrated.

Whether it is Chief B's ​​opening goal or Lukaku's two goals, including Hazard's icing on the cake, they are all successful manifestations of this overall offensive tactic.

The advanced nature of Pan Yi's 343 formation is not only reflected in the offense, or the frontcourt personnel.

The same goes for backcourt personnel.

Even Chelsea's goalkeeper Courtois had as many as 30 passes, and he directly launched a threatening attack once!
Marcos Alonso passed the ball to Lukaku to score. In fact, Courtois found the space on the left when he was holding the ball in the backcourt. Alonso succeeded after passing a 45-degree oblique pass into the penalty area.

This simple cooperation reflects the new requirements of Pan Yi's tactics for goalkeepers.

That is to say, the goalkeeper should not only do a good job of keeping the goal, but also be the first initiator of the attack!
Many professional football media believe that this may be the reason why Pan Yi is so determined to let Courtois be the first goalkeeper.

The original starting goalkeeper Peter Cech has made outstanding achievements, but he is a traditional defensive goalkeeper after all, and he is not good at playing the ball.

And Courtois is younger, more comprehensive, and more in line with Pan Yi's requirements for the goalkeeper in this formation.

In addition to the need for a sudden long pass to launch an attack, Courtois will also act as a sweeper behind the three central defenders, especially after David Luiz stepped forward for an assist, which can make up for the vacancy of the upper central defender.

"The Times" believes that the football Chelsea showed in this game is a truly modern football, even more advanced than what Pan Yi showed when he was coaching Hamburg.

After all, Hamburg's goalkeeper Keylor Navas was actually a traditional goalkeeper at that time, and he did not play too many offensive or defensive responsibilities in the game.

"Perhaps only in Pep Guardiola's Bayern team can we see a goalkeeper with the responsibility of Courtois, and that is Neuer."

"Whether it is the number of passes, the number of interceptions, the coverage of the defense, or even the running distance, in this game Courtois is not even inferior to Neuer, who is famous for his 'keeper'."

"This may be the technological innovation brought by Pan Yi. Perhaps from now on, the direction of future goalkeeper training will undergo earth-shaking changes..."

"The Times" also quoted Burns head coach Sean Dyche in the post-match press conference.

He said that Chelsea's performance was really outstanding, so good that it completely exceeded his expectations.

"Before the start of the game, we were mentally prepared for the difficulty of the game and made sufficient preparations for it."

"Each of our coaches, each of our players has worked hard and devoted himself to the game, but the result is still very frustrating."

"Chelsea are playing a new kind of football, a football we've never seen before. There's nothing we can do against a team like this, with this kind of tactics."

"I can say that even in the Premier League, where there are so many famous coaches, it is difficult to find another team that can play as quickly as Chelsea!"

Of course, the "Times" also pointed out that Chelsea had only played one game, and this does not fully reveal how much Pan Yi and his Chelsea are.

"Perhaps Pan Yi will not reveal more of his technical and tactical concepts for Chelsea's transformation until Chelsea is facing a real strong enemy."

"Maybe, when we face Leicester City in the second round, it will be the beginning of the real test for Pan Yi."

"This newly promoted team, which won the British Championship last season, has many capable players, and this season also has a deep mark of a dark horse. This team is not easy to deal with!"
