After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

The seventh round of the Premier League has a very high-profile focus battle, but it is not Newcastle United vs Chelsea.

Tottenham beat Manchester City 4:1 at home in this round, but it is not the most concerned about this round.

It's Leicester City's home game against Arsenal!
This is thanks to Pan Yi, who told him that Leicester City will be the most difficult team this season and the most threatening team to Chelsea?
Leicester City is also really competitive, with three wins and three draws in six rounds, and has remained unbeaten.

But many people also believe that Leicester City's results are watery.

The reason is simple. In the first six rounds, they defeated mid-lower teams like Sunderland, West Ham United, and Aston Villa. , Especially against Tottenham, they didn't take advantage of it, and it ended in a draw.

Today, Arsenal can just test the quality of Leicester City and see if they are as good as Pan Yi said?

The final result of the game also seems to prove that the Premier League is still dominated by BIG6!
Although Vardy scored twice in the game, Sanchez scored a hat-trick on Arsenal's side. Walcott and Giroud also scored a goal each. In the end, Arsenal scored 5 goals in this goal battle: 2 away wins.

As a result, Leicester City suddenly fell to the 9th position in the standings.

Although it is considered a very good position compared to last season, there is still a big gap with the "big dark horse" predicted by Pan Yi.

In this regard, more and more people believe that Pan Yi's move out of Leicester City is indeed to show contempt for BIG6.

How could this kind of team, which just reached the Premier League last season and was almost relegated, become a contender for a place in the Champions League or even the Premier League title?
Compared with the investment of BIG6, Leicester City invested 3000 to [-] million small teams in the transfer market like this, which is really a child's play.

And the current Premier League standings also illustrates this point: BIG6 are all ranked in the top six, followed by West Ham United and Everton, which are also doing well, and then Leicester City.

But for such a statement, Pan Yi said:

"It's normal for the team to have ups and downs, but I still think Ranieri's team still has great potential. Let me put it here, if any team underestimates them, it will definitely suffer a lot!"

The main reason is that Leicester City's performance this season is really good, at least not too different from Pan Yi's previous life.

This also shows that although Kanter is missing from the Leicester City lineup, after adding Mikel, Ranieri also made fine-tuning according to the actual situation of the players, making it quickly integrated into Leicester City's tactical system .

In terms of the player's personal ability, Kanter is certainly better than Mikel, but Leicester City's Kanter in his previous life was only an engineer after all, and Mikel can also perform better.

If you must choose the most important person from the "Miracle of Leicester City", head coach Ranieri must be the first, then Vardy should be next, and then Mahrez.

Of these three people, one is the best head coach in the Premier League, one is the Premier League Golden Boot, and the other is the best player in the Premier League.

Then, it may be Kante's turn, and this "fourth most important person", and goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. competes with him.

In short, the core of the current Leicester City team has not changed much. Ranieri has used the team's tactics very well, so the overall results will definitely not be much different from the previous life.

This is the "fact" that Pan Yi can predict as a traverser and a master tactician.

As for whether others believe it or not... Anyway, he did.
-
Three days after playing Newcastle United, Chelsea ushered in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

The whole team set off to Porto, Portugal, as a guest at the Dragon Stadium.

Porto was coached by the Spaniard Lopetegui, who formed a 4-4-1-1 formation against Chelsea.

Obviously, as Chelsea have become more and more popular in the past two years, coaches all over Europe are also studying how to restrain Chelsea.

For many weaker teams, it is obvious that a set of tactics to guard against death is the most likely way to score points on Chelsea.

At the forefront is Cameroon striker Abu Bakar, and Porto is using his speed to fight back.

After the game started, Chelsea's attack was blocked by Porto.

Obviously Lopetegui has made a very detailed study of Chelsea's offensive methods, and he has done an excellent job in targeted defensive arrangements.

The protection of almost four defensive midfielders, coupled with the back line of defense, and the active support of the offensive players in the frontcourt, all of these made Chelsea's offense encounter trouble, and it can be regarded as hitting the iron plate again.

The first half ended at zero to zero.

Chelsea controlled the possession of the ball and rhythm, and also took advantage of the field, and frequently created shooting opportunities, but they just failed to break the deadlock and take the lead.

This disappointed Chelsea from top to bottom.

Pan Yi was psychologically prepared for this situation.

No way, when you become a strong person, everyone will deal with you in the same way as a strong person, instead of letting you use your offensive strength wantonly.

At half-time he switched places between Hazard and B, with B moving to the left and Hazard to the right.

The same is true for the requirements of the striker.

Pan Yi told Harry Kane and Lukaku to run continuously, increasing both vertically and horizontally, so as to create space.

"The tighter the opponent's defense is, the more we have to keep pulling it and creating more holes."

Pan Yi also asked everyone to be patient and not to rush anyway.

And such a midfield adjustment obviously had an effect.

After the change of sides in the second half, although Chelsea's offense was still chased and intercepted by Porto, it improved significantly, and the number of threatening shots began to increase.

In the 61st minute of the game, Hazard and the B seat suddenly appeared on the left side at the same time. The two played a tacit two-to-one cooperation, allowing Hazard to dribble the ball along the left side and make a quick assault.

Although the opposing defender Pereira chased after him all the way, Hazard made a sudden stop when he rushed to the left side of the penalty area and dunked the ball back, causing Pereira to lose his center of gravity and slipped to the ground.

Then Hazard took the lead and passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area.

At this moment, Lukaku was already standing near the penalty spot, blocking the opponent's central defender Marcano with his body, and stopped Hazard's pass.

But Marcano's defense is also in place, life and death prevent Lukaku from turning around, coupled with Neves and Layun and other players returning to defense, forcing Lukaku to use his body to protect the ball, and then quickly return to do it To Harry Kane.

Harry Kane didn't stop the ball and hit the goal with his right foot.

"Harry Kane shoots but Porto keeper Iker Casillas makes a crucial save!"

"This Spanish goalkeeper, transferred to Porto from Real Madrid, where he played for more than ten years, is still playing very steadily!"

"Harry Kane hit the goal very suddenly with his right foot, but Iker Casillas saved the ball."

"Excellent save!"

"However, the ball landed after being saved...still at the feet of Chelsea players!"

"Bernardo Silva is so fast, he pokes the ball before Ruben Neves tries to break it out of the danger zone, then he walks up and then it's a volley. ..."

"The goal has been scored!!! The score has been rewritten!"

"Bernardo Silva scored this crucial goal. The shot was so close that even Iker Casillas, who had a quick reaction, couldn't save the ball again!"

"My God, Chelsea's attack is really amazing! In my watching career, I really rarely see players on both sides squeezed to one side and then cooperate."

"And after the cooperation between Seat B and Hazard, they quickly inserted into the penalty area, diagonally from the right rib to the right side of the goal, and then scored the goal!"

"Of course, Lukaku and Harry Kane also played an important role in this process. The cooperation of this attacking four is very beautiful!"

"Tonight, at the Dragon Stadium, facing Porto's strict defense, Chelsea still seized an opportunity."

"Next, it depends on whether Porto wants to counterattack."

"Chelsea leads by one goal, and Pan Yi is ready to make substitutions and adjustments. I believe he will better control the situation on the field after gaining the score advantage."

"Porto also have to think about whether to try to score goals or not?"

"In the Premier League three days ago, Newcastle United took the initiative to counterattack after conceding a goal, but conceded a second goal very quickly."

"Lopétegui has to think about it now, should Porto press out and fight?"

Lopetegui is not McLaren after all, and he is more cautious.

He just made a match-up substitution, replacing Abu Bakar with Italian striker Osvaldo, and wanted to change to a more direct backcourt kick to find a striker to break through Chelsea's defense.

But in this way, it is really difficult to find any opportunities in front of Chelsea's three defensive central defenders.

In the end, Chelsea defeated Porto 1-0 in the away game with the golden goal of the B seat, winning two consecutive victories in the group stage.

Pan Yi also heaved a sigh of relief, and gave high fives and hugs to all the Chelsea players who were off the pitch.

Although only one goal was won, it was enough.

7:0 in one game is not as good as 1:0 in seven games. The most important thing is to get three points.

(A future Liverpool under Klopp must be well aware of this.) ——
Returning to London from Porto, Pan Yi will soon be preparing for two consecutive Premier League home games.

One against Southampton and the other against Aston Villa.

However, to say it is "continuous" is not actually connected.

Because after playing Southampton, it is another two-week national team match day.

For Pan Yi, on the one hand, he can find opportunities to relax and take a vacation; on the other hand, he has to consider adjusting the physical fitness and state of the players.

Because the season after the national team match day is often particularly intensive, especially for teams with European missions.

For example, Chelsea will play against Aston Villa, Lyon, West Ham United, then the League Cup against Stoke City, then return to the Premier League to play Liverpool, and then the Champions League against Lyon and the Premier League against Arsenal.

这里一共七场比赛，而比赛时间是10月17日到11月8日，差不多就是21天。

In other words, an average of one game is played every three days, and this also includes strong teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Lyon.

But there is no way, since the flag of winning the seven championships was set before the season, I have to finish it with tears.

N-line combat is N-line combat, let's play game by game!

In the eighth round of the Premier League, Chelsea played against Southampton at home.

Southampton's head coach Ronald Koeman is now Pan Yi's old friend, and he has led the team quite well in the past two seasons.

This is also due to his "flexible and stretchable" tactical thinking.

The team that can beat it will focus on pass control and focus on attack; the team that can't beat it will be dog, let Pellet in front steal.

Chelsea is of course classified as "unable to play".

Mainly based on Chelsea's current tactical system and overall strength, it is really difficult for other teams to have a chance.

Pan Yi can only let the players control the ball and deal with the opponent patiently.

It wasn't until the second half that the physical fitness of the Southampton players was exhausted in the desperate defense, and Chelsea began to really exert their strength.

In the 70th minute, Moses broke through from the side and made a pass from the bottom, but the ball flew into Southampton's goal by accident, 1:0.

In the 75th minute, Lukaku received Hazard's assist and made another victory.

In the 89th minute, Zouma, who came off the bench, took advantage of a corner kick and scored.

In the end, Chelsea beat Southampton [-]-[-] at home.

Three goals, all after 70 minutes.

This is one of the two strategies that Pan Yi uses to deal with those defensive-oriented teams.

One is to grab the start and strive for early goals;
The second is to grind slowly, wear down the opponent's fighting spirit and physical strength, and then attack with all his strength, so that it will be relatively easy to pierce the opponent's defense.
-
After playing the eighth round of the Premier League, ushered in a two-week national team match day.

And this is Pan Yi's rare vacation.

Only now his holiday plans are simple: to go to Yorkshire to find Valentina.

It's a holiday, of course I want to accompany my lover, it's impossible to go somewhere to spend time and drink.

The main reason is that this kind of national team match day has nothing to do with the League Two teams. The league should still be played, and Valentina will not have a holiday.

Fortunately, the city of York is also a famous historical and cultural city, and it is a famous tourist city in the UK-it is the city with the most tourists in the UK after London, so there are many places to visit and eat. You won't get bored every time you come.

Accompany Valentina to visit the ruins of the Viking city after work, go to the York Castle Museum to see the antiquities, and then go to the National Center for Ancient Music to listen to the performance, and you can also buy some Harry Potter wands...

Finally, find a hotel full of medieval style to have a battle with gunfire, and the beautiful day passed like this.

During this period, Pan Yi of course also watched the York City game live.

After all, for Pan Yi now, watching the York City game is both work and life.

York City played against Cambridge United at home. After conceding a goal in a bad start, they scored two goals in a row and finally won 2:1.

Although the young center Mark Baker did not score a goal in the game, he played an obvious role as a fulcrum on the front line, greatly restraining the opponent's defensive strength and creating space for his teammates' goals.

This also made Pan Yi more convinced that his operation of buying Baker was very correct.

The reason why Pan Yi had such "unconfidence" before was mainly because the purchase of Baker was different from all his previous transfer operations.

Whether it was Van Dijk and Salah in Milan at the earliest, De Bruyne and Casemiro in Hamburg, or Harry Kane after coming to Chelsea, Mbappe, no matter who it is It was the result after Pan Yi opened the "eye of the sky".

Each of these players is a world-class star who was well-known in Pan Yi's previous life. Pan Yi bought them into the team in advance, and then used the most suitable tactics in the system to use them, and also used the most suitable training methods to train them. Let it improve, of course, all of them will get twice the result with half the effort.

But this Baker, in Pan Yi's previous life, he was almost a player at the level of League Two.

In the early days, he played with Carlisle United in League One, but he was not the main force. Later, the team was relegated, and he basically played in League Two.

Later, he even played in the national league at a lower level. In short, the level is like this, and he is completely different from the future big-name stars in Pan Yi's hands.

This also made Pan Yi a little curious, and he even wanted to do an experiment.

That is, for an ordinary young player like Baker, given enough game time and correct training methods, will his achievements be higher than in the normal timeline?

Or in other words, can Pan Yi bring York City to the British Championship and the Premier League like playing football manager games, but players like Baker can still keep up with the level and play high-level leagues with the team, instead of quickly Was eliminated?
This is really something Pan Yi has never done before.

A day later, when Pan Yi accompanied Valentina to work at the York City Club, he asked Scaloni about Baker's situation.

"He is practicing in the gym." Scaloni laughed. "He is a very hardworking young man, and he cherishes the opportunity to start now."

Pan Yi nodded slightly.

In the current York City, Baker is considered a rather special player.

Because the vast majority of York City's main players are "old men" over the age of 30, only Baker, a young man, can play the main team.

For veterans, their training can only be to maintain their physical condition from declining, or to make it decline more slowly, and to maintain the physical fitness required for the game.

But young players still have a lot of room for improvement, both physically and technically and tactically.

Especially for air bully players like Baker, it is also very important to continuously improve their physical strength to better stand in the penalty area.

Therefore, when Scaloni formulated the training plan, he also focused on allowing Baker to exercise his core strength, including jumping ability and header ability, so that he can truly stand out in the English League Two.

Obviously, Baker is also very competitive.

According to Scaloni, Baker will not only complete the training arranged by the coaching staff on time and in volume, but also arrange additional training for himself after the training.

This also pleased Pan Yi.

"He himself said that although he has been training hard these years, it seems to have had little effect. According to my judgment, the training of clubs in low-level leagues is relatively not professional and scientific, including from eating habits to the entire life of the players. It’s not all organized well.”

Scaloni continued to introduce: "When he came to us, he felt very comfortable, the effect was particularly obvious, and he practiced very vigorously."

In this new season, what Pan Yi brings to York City is not only a new head coach and new players, but more importantly, the most advanced management concepts and training methods.

Although the training facilities, especially the training grounds, have not been significantly improved for the time being, Pan Yi still managed to gradually recruit coaches, team doctors, and data analysts from some English Championship and even Premier League teams.

It can be said that the current training level of York City is absolutely unique in the second division. Even if it wins the championship and the Premier League team, the hardware part may still be insufficient, but the software part is not inferior at all.

Take Baker as an example. He used to have no control over his diet. He ate whatever he liked, whenever he liked, and his daily routine was not particularly regular.

But that all changed when I came to Yorktown.

He is a striker who relies on his body for food. Before he wants to strengthen his muscles, he must adjust his diet structure at the same time.

Therefore, under the advice of nutrition experts in the team, a detailed plan was formulated from the perspectives of medicine, sports science and physical therapy and rehabilitation for Baker's situation.

Specifically, it is to increase the intake of milk and high-protein foods, and after training and competitions, cooperate with training facilities such as bicycles, foam rollers, and bathing areas in the gym to help him recover and strengthen his body.

"I will ask the club to make the bathing area alternately hot and cold as soon as possible, and buy another freezer, which will have a better recovery effect on the players." Pan Yi also promised.

He has also led the team for several years. Although he didn't know much about the recovery methods of these professional players at the beginning, he has been around Pintus, Wolfart and others for a long time, and he has naturally been fascinated by them. Now he seems to be a sports recovery expert. Professionals too.

Player recovery is of course very important.

With better recovery, you can train and compete better, or you can withstand more intense training, and of course you will improve faster, and injuries will be less likely to find players.

Pan Yi is also improving the various facilities of the club step by step, so that they can also keep up with the pace of York City.

"Okay, thank you boss." Scaloni smiled, and then he asked again, "I feel that you care about this Baker very much, can you tell me why?"

Pan Yi asked back: "Do you think there is anything special about this person?"

"Something special..." Scaloni thought for a moment, then answered honestly, "To be honest, there's nothing special about him. He's not particularly talented, but he's physically strong and willing to endure hardships."

Pan Yi smiled and said, "That's enough. In the football world, not everyone is a talented player like Maradona, Ronaldinho, or Messi."

"More, but ordinary people like Baker who work hard on the court with their own efforts. Many of them will not be able to play in the top league in their entire lives, and even more will not be able to play in professional games."

"Sometimes I wonder, what can ordinary people like this do? Could it be that they are not as talented as others, so they are useless?"

"Is it true that a player like Baker cannot survive, gain a foothold, or even succeed in the top professional league?"

"I don't have an answer to this question. But I want to try and see what kind of heights he can reach in the end with his hard work and the right guidance from us."

"Does Baker have talent? In fact, he does. He has a strong ability to compete for the top, which is also a talent in itself. But I still want to see if it is possible for him to change his fate through his own efforts and play from a low-level league to the Premier League. Championship, or even the Premier League?"

Scaloni understood.

This is because the boss has special expectations and sustenance for Baker.

A big part of why football is the most popular sport in the world is that it allows all types of players to perform on the pitch.

Messi can score goals through five players in a row, Ronaldo can kick a 40-meter super explosive shot, I, Baker, can't do this, but I can score through explosive dunks in the penalty area.

Football has never been a game for talented elites, and the highest level of league should not be just a stage for geniuses to perform. It will also give some space and opportunities to relatively ordinary people like Baker.

If Baker is really successful, it must be football success.

Scaloni even thought of Vardy.

At the beginning, this young man who was still playing in the amateur league, was taken to the Bundesliga by Pan Yi and soared into the sky, and now he is playing in the Premier League.

Vardy's talent must be average, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to play in professional leagues at the age of 24 or 25.

But he has gained a firm foothold in the top league by relying on his fast speed and decisive shooting.

And behind this, Vardy obviously put in a lot of sweat, which Pan Yi has witnessed with his own eyes.

With Vardy in front of him, who said that Baker must not be able to do it?
Thinking about it, Scaloni even became a little excited.

Under Pan Yi's care and guidance, the York City Club may become a soil for cultivating young players and become another distinctive young guard.

And Baker is just the beginning!
