Chapter 404 York City?Baker City!
Pan Yi didn't pay much attention to Jason McGill's report.

With just this little sponsorship fee, can you buy someone's heart from me, Pan?
Of course, he agrees with McGill's point of view, that is, whether the funds belong to Manchester City, the United Arab Emirates, Musk, Tesla, or NASA, as long as it is legal money, we will accept it!
Don't be in vain.

I just didn't expect that the fact that I bought York City would be exposed so soon.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no rule that a coach can't buy a team, and if he is exposed, he will be exposed, and it doesn't have much impact on himself.

Maybe it is more convenient for my own work.

Apart from other things, when York City was buying people, they heard that this was Pan Yi's team, so shouldn't they take a second look?hey-hey.

Of course, at least this year, his main focus is on Chelsea.

After playing Manchester City, Chelsea soon ushered in the third round of the Premier League with West Bromwich Albion.

This team does not have any well-known players. For Pan Yi, the most familiar is the future Chinese Super League star, Venezuelan striker Longdong.

And the head coach of the team can be regarded as an "old acquaintance" of Pan Yi, because he is Tony Pulis, who Pan Yi introduced to Crystal Palace as the head coach, led the team to relegation and won the title of the best head coach in the Premier League.

This guy can be regarded as a personality. Resigning within 2014 hours before the start of the 15-48 season caught Crystal Palace off guard.

Now he has come to West Bromwich Albion, and he also resorted to his traditional tactics of holding high and playing high, and dealing with Chelsea.

At the beginning, the Chelsea players were indeed a little uncomfortable, and they were unable to enter the state for a long time. The two sides fought zero to zero in the first half.

But during the halftime break, Pan Yi made timely adjustments, allowing the midfielder to speed up the conduction speed and use the space of the opponent's defense to beat the time difference.

The players also quickly recovered their form. In the 50th minute of the game, Gnabry assisted Lukaku to score and opened the scoring for the team.

Just 7 minutes later, it was Lukaku's goal to help Chelsea make another victory. This time it was Cancelo who assisted.

After scoring two goals in a row, Chelsea maintained their advantage on the field. Pan Yi also replaced three players in one go to ensure the physical fitness and state of the players on the field.

Finally, in stoppage time, Abraham's header assisted Harry Kane to score another goal.

Chelsea ended up beating West Bromwich Albion [-]-[-] away.

With this victory, Pan Yi's Chelsea also officially broke the unbeaten Premier League record set by Mu-style Chelsea.

On August 8th, Chelsea ushered in the challenge of Crystal Palace at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, which was also a match in the fourth round of the Premier League.

This time, Pan Yi and Alan Pardew both set up their positions and played attacking football.

Neither team was conservative in the slightest, and they opened up their posture and played against each other from the very beginning.

Although Chelsea played at home with a relatively large rotation, the offensive was even better. In the No.30 and No.403 minutes of the first half, Mbappe and Lingard scored successively, and two goals All assisted by Eden Hazard.

After changing sides in the second half, Zouma first used a corner kick to make a contribution, and then Ivanovic scored from a long distance, expanding the score to [-]-[-].

But just when everyone thought that Chelsea would usher in another complete victory, Alan Pardew suddenly exerted his strength. Chelsea played a wave of violent offensive in the last 10 minutes, which was torn apart by Zaha's breakthrough. Chelsea's defense pulled back a goal.

In the end, Chelsea won Crystal Palace 4:1.

It's just that the laxness of the players in the final stage of the game still made Pan Yi feel a little dissatisfied, and beat the players hard.

But scolding is scolding, after all, they still won. Chelsea, who have won all four games, is still at the top of the standings.

And because it was an international match day, Pan Yi gave everyone a holiday to relax, and went to Yorkshire by himself.

First, Scaloni has encountered some troubles recently, and needs to discuss with him and have some in-depth exchanges;

Secondly, it is also a vacation to date Valentina, and have some in-depth exchanges...
-
During this period of time, the League Two has played three rounds.

York City first drew with Exeter City 0:0 in the away game, and then lost to Mansfield 1:2 at home, ushering in the first defeat of the season.

Immediately afterwards, in the sixth round, they lost 0:3 to the top-ranked Leyton Orient team.

In this way, York City not only surrendered the second position in the standings, but also ranked 10th in the standings with 8 points in six games, three wins, one draw and two losses, and did not even enter the play-offs. .

The rule of League Two is that the top three will be promoted directly, while the four to seven will participate in a two-round home and away knockout promotion play-offs to compete for a qualification to participate in League One next season.

Although it is said that the league has just started and there is still a long schedule to go, but the three consecutive rounds have not won, which really makes people pessimistic about the prospects of York City.

But more importantly, is the problem highlighted behind.

This season, York City has brought in many veterans from the Premier League and Championship teams. These players have rich experience and strong abilities, but they have obvious shortcomings in physical fitness.

The competition in League Two is very fierce, there are a lot of physical confrontations, and the schedule is also very intensive.

What kind of intensive method?
League Two has a total of 24 teams, and each team has to play at least 46 games per season, not counting the League Cup and FA Cup.

This is 8 more games than the average Premier League team without a European game. Of course, more games are arranged every week.

For example, the Premier League and League Two start at the same time. At this time, the Premier League has played four rounds, while the League Two has played six rounds.

At first the veterans could handle it, but as game after game went on, the average age of the team became apparent.

Therefore, Pan Yi is here to discuss with Scaloni, study the problems the team is currently encountering, and give his own views.

"There is no doubt that the quality of the players is beyond doubt. But the problem now is that our players are too old."

Pan Yi was sitting in York City's head coach's office, watching the video of the match between York City and Leyton Orient with Scaloni.

"You look at the game, there were no problems in the first half and neither side scored."

Although York City lost 0:3 in this game, it was only after 60 minutes in the second half that the opponent scored three goals in a row.

On the one hand, when York City had the advantage in the first half, the team did not turn the advantage into a goal and played too cautiously. However, the start of the second half was disrupted by the opponent's rush and lost the game. control.

After the opponent scored a goal, the team was obviously a little disordered and their thinking was not unified enough, so the opponent scored two goals in a row and finally lost the game.

"With such a lineup in League Two and losing, we can't blame the players, but the coaches." Pan Yi directly pointed out the crux of the team.

"I regret the current performance of the team, boss, and I am willing to take full responsibility for this." Scaloni stood up and said rather ashamedly.

If, before the season, or after three rounds of matches, he was confident that he wanted to lead York City to League One, then now, the brutal competition in League Two gave him a blow.

It made him soberly aware of how difficult it is to coach a team to stand out from the fourth tier.

"Okay." Pan Yi stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We are in the same boat and we need to help each other. The first and most important task now is to solve the team's problems."

Scaloni nodded and said, "Where is the problem with my tactics, you can teach me again."

"Tell me, what tactics do you mainly use?" Pan Yi asked.

"It's similar to when we were at Chelsea last season. I mainly play a 3-4-3, focusing on the pressure in the frontcourt and the control of the ball in the midfield." Scaloni replied.

Pan Yi smiled and said, "Then, is Hazard in your team?"

Scaloni was taken aback: "No."

"Where's Bernardo Silva?"

"nor."

"That's right. All you have are some veterans who have been eliminated from the Premier League and the British Championship. How can they have the ability to pass people and control the ball well?" Pan Yi laughed louder, "Okay, even if the level of the League Two is relatively low. Can control the ball too, but if you make them press like Chelsea, don't you kill them?"

"This..." Scaloni said a little embarrassedly, "That's because I learned this trick after being with you for a year..."

"It's you studying hard and doing dead questions." Pan Yi stood up and patted Scaloni on the shoulder, "But tactics should be adapted to local conditions and taught according to people. Although I mainly played 3-4-3 last season , but you can also change when you need to change, and you can also defend when you need to defend. It’s not like you haven’t seen any four-wing back formation.”

Scaloni nodded slightly.

Pan Yi continued: "In fact, in the second division, you don't need to play so complicated, just play 4-4-2 and it's over! Most of them have rough feet, and they can't play with their feet. What about this, You can look at Stoke in the last couple of seasons and they've played really well."

"I remember, boss."

This 4-4-2 bombing tactic is actually very common in England's low-level leagues. The core is to fly with both wings and play long passes to find the center forward.

Then there is nothing to say about this style of play in defense. It can be converted into a 4-1-4-1 formation to organize. The role of the midfielder here is to try to use your personal ability to intercept in the midfield. Instead of letting the opponent break into your own defense, it is very dangerous to let a capable opponent's striker face your own defense in a low-level game.

If the opponent's strength is indeed a bit higher, they can also retreat at any time to join the defensive position to form a dense defensive formation of 5-4-1.

In the offense, the full-back can flexibly switch positions with the full-back, join the offense at any time, and then pass the ball into the penalty area when the opportunity is right.

The main role of the other frontcourt players is to pull in the opposite direction, take away the opponent's defensive players, and try to give the core center the space to display.

This routine can be used from the backcourt to the frontcourt. To ensure the positioning and connection between several core players, it mainly relies on handing the ball to the passer and passing between multiple people to move forward.

In the opponent's defensive area, if there is a good opportunity, of course, the ball can be handed over to other offensive players, but their attention is mainly on picking up misses in front of the goal, supplementary shots, and the opponent steals the ball or sieges before clearing the siege after the interception. Well, the heavy responsibility of scoring still has to be handed over to the center forward!

In corner kicks and set kicks, the idea is still the same. Center forwards and defenders with good headers compete for points. In fact, as far as the goalkeeper level of low-level leagues is concerned, the chances of scoring goals within the goal frame are very high. .

But correspondingly speaking, the header level of League Two players is also limited, so sometimes it is still necessary to create as much chaos as possible in the opponent's penalty area and strive to create a two-point killing opportunity.

This is the entire tactical system of the 4-4-2 formation that Pan Yi summed up that can be used in the League Two.

"Specifically for our team, look, Ian Hart, an old defender, has a very strong ability to play the ball. You can let him directly find the center with a long pass from the backcourt. There is also this midfielder Gary Frye. Che, he can hit the ball at 45 degrees from the wing. And the full backs..."

Of course, Pan Yi didn't just talk about the general tactics casually, or let Scaloni watch other people's game videos and finish the job.

Before he came today, he had done a lot of homework, so he was actually very clear about the personnel composition and technical characteristics of this York City team.

So now he has also made a long-term and specific personnel arrangement for Scaloni, which is equivalent to helping him formulate a set of tactics and playing methods that are more suitable for these people and more suitable for the rhythm of the League Two.

This also made Scaloni very excited.

This is the martial arts secret book from the master!

As for why not guide at the beginning of the season?Time was tight at that time, Chelsea's training time was already short, and Pan Yi had to integrate new players, so there was no time to take care of too many things in York City.

Moreover, these players in York City come from various Premier League Championship teams, with a large number of personnel, and the training time after they are in place is shorter, and there is no time.

Besides, Pan Yi also wanted Scaloni to figure out a way by himself, which was considered a test.

As a result, they won all the first three rounds, and Pan Yi thought that the problem was not serious.

Looking at it now, it should be that the Chelsea-style full-court press exhausted everyone. They could barely withstand the first few games, but they couldn't do it later.

After all, not only is the ability of York City players incomparable to Chelsea, but training facilities, fitness coaches, and team doctors are not at the same level.

Therefore, it is really not possible to play so fiercely and complicatedly, it is better to be simpler.

Of course, it is not a big problem to play the sixth round and rank eighth.

There are many games in the second division, and it is still early.

And because the level of League Two is low, in fact, there are no particularly good teams under normal circumstances, and everyone is pecking at each other, which also leads to the fact that the final team that can be promoted will not have a particularly high score.

Taking the last season as an example, the top teams at the end all lost about ten games, including No.1 Burton who also lost eight games.

And if you want to win the Premier League championship, basically you can't lose more than five games. Generally, if you lose more than five games, you can't win the championship.

Therefore, it is no big deal for York City to lose two games now, and there are still many indicators.

As long as you can improve your style of play and make adjustments, there is still time for a counterattack.

"You have to remember that a season is very long. Before the end of June next year, no one can guarantee whether they can get the promotion quota. It's not September yet, so you can't be discouraged."

Pan Yi looked at Scaloni and said earnestly.

He really valued this Argentine coach, so he immediately ran to York City when he heard the news of the team's problems.

Scaloni exhaled heavily, smiled and nodded towards Pan Yi, his eyes became firm again.

Scaloni was greatly relieved by Pan Yi's encouragement, because he really needs confidence too much now.

And Pan Yi just sent him great confidence and confidence, as well as - technical support.

"By the way, boss, you said we're going to play 4-4-2, but my strikers are all technical now, so it doesn't seem suitable." Scaloni suddenly thought.

"Oh...that's right." Pan Yi looked up at the calendar on the wall, "That's easy. The transfer window is still open, so let's just buy one right away. It just so happened that the team received a sponsorship fee, so they put It's spent!"

"Who to buy? It only takes a day, where can I find the right player?" Scaloni scratched his head, "Boss, you don't even know all the players in the second division, do you?"

"It's true that there aren't many familiar ones." Pan Yi smiled and stretched out a finger, "But only one is enough. We only need one high center forward."

"Who?"

"Mark Baker."

"……do not know."

"He should be... Forget it, I'll check first."
-
Mark Baker, 21 years old this year, "York City Famous", is a standing center with a height of 197cm and a weight of 80kg, a traditional British center.

Good physical condition and jumping ability allow him to become an air fighter in the penalty area, smashing the ball from all directions into the opponent's net.

The reason why "York City Famous" is put in quotation marks is because although Baker has been mixed in League One and League Two teams, he has never really played for York City.

It is because a cloud game anchor brought Beck to York City in the FM game, and then rushed all the way to the Premier League, and Beck also stayed in the team for ten years, and completed appearances and goals in the Premier League. This story was achieved Baker's "Yorktown legend" good talk.

And this also made many Dragon Country fans feel familiar and loved for a British low-level league player for no reason.

Pan Yi also knew Baker's name from here.

Then he also checked the information and found that the real Baker is indeed very useful!
Tall and tall, capable of rushing and reaching the top, a big killer in the second division!

It also fits very well with the 4-4-2 formation he recommended to Scaloni.

Whether it's a midfielder or a defender, just find Baker with the ball and you're done!
As for the transfer, it's not a problem at all.

Baker is now playing for the Yeovil team, which is also in the second division. His worth is 21 euros, and his salary is 850 yuan per week...

What is this to the rich and powerful Pan Yi?

Not to mention that he doesn't need to spend money, just take part of the money sponsored by SpaceX.

For the Yeovil team, a huge sum of 21 euros suddenly came, and the mouth was grinning.

You know, most of the transfers of players from League Two and below are free transfers. Everyone's money is used to pay wages. Who can afford the transfer fee?

Including Baker himself, who also transferred from Carlisle United to Yeovil on a free transfer, which is tantamount to earning 21 euros for nothing!
So, nothing to say, I was knocked out overnight and delivered to York City with free shipping.

As for Baker?Of course he agreed.

York City directly raised his salary to 1000 yuan a week, which was not enough for him to be happy.

Not to mention that although York City is only ranked 8th, it is still much stronger than his Yeoville.

Now that 6 rounds have passed, Yeoville is ranked second to last with 1 win and 5 losses, and there is still a risk of relegation.

As a young player who is only 21 years old, he certainly hopes to play in a stronger team and better hone himself.

Thus, the transaction was quickly completed.

With the high center in place, York City's lineup for this season will be complete.

I just don't know if the story of York City and Baker will be as beautiful as the story of the cloud anchor...
