Chapter 421 What is Ma Dongmei
This year's Club World Cup will be held in Japan from December 2015 to 12, 10.

The competition system of the Club World Cup is relatively special, that is, the European and South American champions directly enter the semi-finals, waiting in the upper and lower halves respectively.

The other two places will be produced through knockout matches in several other areas where football is relatively backward.

Before Chelsea will face Leicester City in the Premier League, the Club World Cup has already played a few games in advance.

The first was in the opener on December 12, when the host team, Sanfrecce Hiroshima, beat Oceania champions Auckland City 10-2.

In the 9th minute Minagawa Yusuke broke the deadlock, and in the 70th minute Shioya expanded his results. The Hiroshima Sanfrecce team successfully qualified for promotion and entered the quarterfinals.

然后是12月13日，他们又在1/4决赛中以3-0淘汰非洲冠军马泽姆贝队闯入四强。

In another quarter-final match, the Asian champion, Changzhou Hengtai of Longguo, played against the Central and North American champion Mexico America.

In the 54th minute, Oribe Peralta of the Mexican American team made a header; then Gao Lin of the Changzhou Hengtai Taobao team assisted Zheng Long to equalize the score.

In stoppage time, Paulinho of Changzhou Hengtai completed the lore with a header, helping Changzhou Hengtai beat the Mexican American team 2-1.

Changzhou Hengtai also entered the semi-finals!
At this point, the semi-finals of this Club World Cup will come out.

One is the host Hiroshima Sanfrecce against the Copa Libertadores champion River Plate;

The other game is between Changzhou Hengtai and Champions League champions Chelsea!

Among them, the duel between Changzhou Hengtai and Chelsea is naturally the most eye-catching.

Pan Yi led the European champions to face their motherland team and his beloved disciple Paulinho, while the head coach of Changzhou Hengtai Scolari also faced his former team, all of which are worthy of speculation.

As for Pan Yi, he didn't care about these things.

What he cares about is how to arrange the players' training and rest, and how to minimize their fatigue and injuries.

Although Pan Yi had already rotated players substantially when playing against Bournemouth and Porto, but these were two extra games out of thin air, which still had a great impact on the team's arrangements.

The game against Leicester City is on December 12th, and I will leave for Japan immediately after the game, because on December 14th I will play the semi-finals of the Club World Cup in Changzhou Hengtai.

Then there will be the final on December 12 three days later, with a high probability of kicking the river bed.

After playing two Club World Cup games, it will be the Christmas schedule immediately after returning. Immediately after that, it will be against Sunderland on December 12, against Watford on December 23, and against Stoke City on December 12. Against Crystal Palace on January 26.

然后1月6日又是联赛杯半决赛第一回合对利物浦，1月10日是总足杯，再接下来是1月14日英超对曼联，也就是能否打破米兰58场不败的里程碑战役。

Finally, against Everton on January 1, this long series of non-stop games came to an end.

Basically, a game is played every three days.

Needless to say, this back and forth, the intensity of the schedule is enough to suffocate.

So Pan Yi and the coaching staff are extremely cautious.

Against Leicester City, of course, the main players who have basically been rested for a week must be played.

Although Leicester City is playing at home, they must still play according to Ranieri's anti-reverse tactics. At this time, Chelsea's stars who are good at passing and controlling can come in handy.

They can control the ball at their feet, minimize consumption, and then follow Pan Yi's instructions to make a fuss on the wing.

For this tactical purpose, Chelsea's formation has also been adjusted to a 4-2-4.

The goalkeeper is Courtois.

The back four are Cancelo, Van Dijk, David Luiz and Azpilicueta from left to right.

The double midfielder is Kanter + Matic.

Left winger Hazard, right winger B seat, the two centers are Lukaku + Harry Kane.

This is basically to mobilize the attack power, especially the attack power of the wing, while taking into account a certain speed.

The left back uses Cancelo instead of Marcos Alonso, just considering that Longo is slow and playing a regular left back is not what he is good at, and Cancelo is obviously more suitable.

Such a formation that focuses on offense and light defense would be more risky under normal circumstances, but if Leicester City comes up with a bus, it will be more able to exert the offensive ability of this formation.

When Leicester City launched a counterattack, the wingers on both sides had to intercept immediately, and then cooperate with the double midfielders and defenders to slow down their attack speed.

In the locker room speech before the game, Pan Yi also emphasized:
"They may not be the strongest offensively, the technology is not the best, and the creativity is not good, but this team is very tenacious, full of resilience, and has super strength confrontation and running coverage."

"Facing such a team, no one will relax, and neither can we."

"When we suppress the opponent to attack, we must pay attention to the movements of their arrows, especially Vardy and Mahrez."

"If you are counterattacked by them with the ball, if you can't stop it, you can choose to foul immediately, don't hesitate!"
-
On the afternoon of December 12th, King Power Stadium.

In the 16th round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged Leicester City away.

In the 75th minute of the game, Vardy stood in front of Chelsea's penalty area.

Facing the Belgian national goalkeeper Courtois, who was on the verge of a formidable enemy, he quickly ran up and shot angrily!

Although Courtois judged the right direction, the speed of the ball was too fast and there was no way to catch it.

The ball went in! ! !
The entire King Power Stadium is boiling!

One to zero!

Leicester City are ahead! ! !
And at this time, there are only ten minutes left in the game!
In front of the coach of the visiting team, Pan Yi shook his head helplessly.

David Louis is really not firm enough sometimes.
-
As soon as the game started, Chelsea fired four arrows and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Leicester City's position.

As expected, Leicester City is clinging to the defense, making Chelsea's offense return in vain again and again.

Obviously, Ranieri is very aware of Chelsea's strength, so he is more determined than ever to defend.

The formation he deployed today is a 4-4-2 which he has used so often this season.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel, the four defenders from left to right are Fuchs, Morgan, Huth and Simpson.

The four midfielders are Mahrez, Drinkwater, Mikel and Albrighton.

The double forwards are Vardy and Shinji Okazaki.

During the actual game, Shinji Okazaki often retreated deeply, forming a defensive posture of nine people, leaving Vardy in the frontcourt to counterattack.

Under such circumstances, even with the strength of Chelsea stars, it is difficult to break through their defensive formation.

The game was deadlocked until the second half.

After more than 20 minutes in the second half, both sides still failed to get a good chance.

Chelsea completely controlled the ball, with a ball possession rate of 70%, and the number of shots was N times that of Leicester City, reaching 20 times, but the number of shots on goal was only four times.

What about the number of shots taken by Leicester City? 1 time.

Or Vardy's long shot from the corner of the penalty area.

Pan Yi himself felt that the Chelsea players were in good condition, but their foot style was a little bit unsmooth. The opponent's goalkeeper Schmeichel also played very well, and made four excellent saves.

But such low efficiency is mainly caused by Leicester City's defensive oppression.

They defended very fiercely!This also made Chelsea's players uncomfortable.

Under high-intensity oppression, when Chelsea attacked the frontcourt, they often shot hastily, which led to the low quality of shots.

It stands to reason that Leicester City fights so fiercely in every game, and Ranieri's tactical system consumes a lot of physical energy for the players. In addition, there are only 23 players that Ranieri often uses, which is the least in the Premier League. ...

Expensive tactics, the player with the most playing time.The combination of the two factors only conjures up images of a violent injury wave.Last season's super dark horse Southampton fell on the wave of injuries.

But Leicester have the second-fewest number of injuries in the Premier League - only slightly more than Chelsea.

The problem is that there are so many players that Chelsea can play, and Leicester City, apart from today's starting set, probably have Ulloa, Andy King, Inler and a few people on the bench who can come in handy.

This is not only due to the team medical team of Leicester City, but also probably a sigh of metaphysics.

Or is it that Leicester City sacrificed the former head coach Pierce before the season, allowing them to get the favor of the goddess of injury?

Of course, Leicester City's schedule is not as close as other strong teams should also be an important reason.

At the beginning of the season, Leicester City chose to give up the FA Cup and League Cup.

In the middle and late part of the season, even though they consume a lot of physical energy, the schedule of one match a week has sufficient rest time compared with opponents who play two or even three matches a week.

Height 180cm, registered weight only 60kg, position winger, left foot, dribbling elegant breakthrough sharp.Who do these numbers remind you of?Yes, the former Glass Man Robben.

But Mahrez, who has the same physical data, has only one substitute this season, and the rest of the games are full attendance, abruptly kicking a glass data into a steel plate.Robben said that he fainted in the infirmary.

And the penalty scored by Vardy in the 75th minute was created by Mahrez.

Leicester City got a chance to counterattack. The "Polo King" took the ball on the right side of the court, broke through the defenses of Matic, Cancelo and David Luiz, and then directly inserted into the penalty area to shoot.

At this time, David Luiz panicked and stretched out his hand to pull Mahrez down. Of course, he was sentenced to death. David Luiz himself also received a yellow card.

What made Pan Yi depressed was the penalty.

Of course, there is no problem with fouling. David Louis also followed Pan Yi's orders, but it was too late.

If Mahrez had just advanced to the front of the penalty area and fouled, it would not have been a penalty.

David Luiz hesitated at the moment of being swayed, and then reached out. At this time, it was too late, and Mahrez had already waded the ball into the penalty area.

Having said that, these extraordinary people of Mahrez are really very agile, they are simply Messi possessed.

Pan Yi took a closer look and saw that Mahrez's hands were wearing gloves.

It's December, and Mahrez has said that he tends to get cold hands and feet in cold weather, so he likes to wear gloves.

And Mahrez wearing gloves is really not easy to mess with!

Pan Yi couldn't help sighing: "It really is Ma Dongmei!"

Ma Dongmei is a stalk of Longguo fans, which probably means that [Ma] Jerez will become [Messi] when he wears gloves to play football in [Winter].

Arteta on the side didn't understand, and asked: "Ma...Ma what?"

Pan Yi didn't have time to explain to Arteta, he turned and pointed to Mbappe on the bench: "Go warm up and get ready to play."

Mbappe leaped excitedly from his chair and started running along the touchline.

Pan Yi now just wants to use Mbappe to attack Leicester City's wing.

Leicester City's starting four defenders, Fuchs, Morgan, Huth, Simpson, are not young, and their physical fitness will inevitably decline. In this kind of high-intensity game, their physical fitness is still somewhat questionable.

Right back Simpson is the youngest, almost 29 years old, and he is also relatively weak among these defenders.

In the previous 70 minutes, he wasted a lot in the fight with Hazard, and his return to defense was much slower.

Of course, Hazard has been attacking with the team for so long, and his physical energy is also consumed.

At this time, Pan Yi replaced Mbappe to use his speed and impact to hit Simpson hard!

Soon, Mbappe returned from warming up and stood beside Pan Yi.

"Kylian, after you go up, replace Eden Hazard."

Mbappe kept nodding.

This teenager, who will only turn 17 in a week, has made rapid progress in Pan Yi's hands, and even performed very eye-catching at one point, and is now one of the very important rotation players.

He also really admired Pan Yi. After all, it was Pan Yi who brought him from Monaco to a big team like Chelsea, and promoted him directly from the youth team to the first team, giving him full trust.

"Simpson was already very strenuous when facing Hazard, and the consumption must be very high. After you go up, try to charge more, and strive to open a breakthrough from him on this side."

"Understood." Mbappe nodded.

"Tell them, don't fight against Morgan and Huth, you still have to play more on the side and get in more. If you make a breakthrough on the side, our back row must keep up in time."

Pan Yi noticed that the central defender combination of Morgan and Huth performed very well tonight.The defensive midfielders Drinkwater and Mikel are also like chicken blood.

The 32-year-old centre-back captain Wes Morgan, who has become a team leader after leaving Nottingham Forest for Leicester City, is a good role model for the players.

And the same 32-year-old central defender Huth, after leaving Stoke City, the once tall tower of the city of the sky came to Leicester City, and established his position as the leader of the defense in just one season.

Although the defensive style is too tough to make the opponent players angry, it also ensures that the team's defense is stable and does not concede a goal. This season, Leicester City's backcourt is reassuring.

The 26-year-old Derlin Cowart is a former Manchester United abandoned player. According to the plot, he should be lost in countless loans and become a mortal.But after joining Leicester City, Brother Drinking Water's diligent professional attitude and outstanding performance made him a starter.

This season, he has become a passing master and is the brain of Leicester City's backcourt control.

Needless to say, Mikel, after being sold to Leicester City by Pan Yi, played no worse than Kanter in his previous life, and played a very important midfield interception role.

Therefore, as Pan Yi predicted before the game, it is really very difficult for Chelsea to penetrate Leicester City's defense from the center today.

Chelsea's centers Harry Kane and Lukaku had no way to take advantage of them throughout the game.

Therefore, Pan Yi's current strategy is to contain Leicester City's defense in the middle, make a fuss on the side, and focus on a back row.
-
Mbappe quickly replaced Hazard.

The French teenager's performance at Chelsea is also obvious to all, and he has made great progress. His big four when he played Norwich last time made him even more famous.

It is said that the head coach of the French national team Didier Deschamps has noticed him and is preparing to call him to the national team.

Now, this extremely fast young player seems to come up with Pan Yi's instructions, which can't help but make Leicester City fans feel worried.

Ranieri even walked to the sidelines and called on players to pay attention to Mbappe.

He also commanded Leicester City's midfielders to come back a little bit, not only Drinkwater and Mikel, but also Albrighton and Mahrez on both sides, to actively come back to protect the defense.

After all, time is running out now, and Leicester City still leads by one goal!
If they can keep this score until the end, they will beat Chelsea and break the myth of the Blues' invincibility!
Supported by such a belief, although the Leicester City players have defended the whole game and are indeed very tired, they still work hard and fight hard!
This is also one of the important reasons why Leicester City can achieve good results this season.

The players are full of hunger and thirst for success, and the will on the field is extremely firm!

As a result, Chelsea's offense has been hindered a lot.

Although Mbappe did make several breakthroughs on the wing after he came on the field, Leicester City's central defender and defensive midfielder were still very quick to defend, and resolved the danger time and time again.

Time passed bit by bit.

Chelsea were spending more and more time on the ball, but less and less threatening attacks.

Especially as the game is coming to an end and it is time to enter stoppage time, this makes everyone start to speculate whether Chelsea is really going to lose? ? ?
This will undoubtedly be big news!

Chelsea's unbeaten record in the Premier League will be fixed at 53 games!
At the last moment, Pan Yi also replaced Harry Kane, who was doing his best, and replaced him with new force Abraham.

Chelsea also began to back and forth on the periphery more, testing back and forth on the two sides.

Mbappe is still more active in the rib area, trying to cut inside.

Mbappe played the position of the left inside forward today, and the right-footed winger played on the left. Of course, he often tried to cut inside.

After he came on the court, he used this method several times when he wanted to break through Simpson.

When the game progressed to the 90th minute, Mbappe walked sideways again, and seemed to start cutting inside again.

Simpson also paid close attention to his every move, and Drinkwater also immediately returned to Simpson's front to block the route of Mbappe's cut for him.

This wave of defense seems to be stable.

Although this young French teenager is powerful, he is still too young to know how to be flexible.

His breakthrough has been resolved by Leicester City in the same way several times, but he is still stubborn and insists on breaking through.

Maybe this is a common problem of young people, sometimes they get stuck.

At this time, the distance between Mbappe and Simpson was getting closer and closer, so close that the right back from the Manchester United youth training camp could already be heard panting.

At this moment, Mbappe suddenly flicked the ball to the bottom line, and the whole person threw Simpson away at a very fast speed, like a vigorous cheetah, quickly rushed to the food and rushed to the bottom line.

This time he is going to the bottom!
Simpson was startled, but turned around immediately and chased after him.

It's just that Drinkwater is now thrown away at once. His position was originally to defend against Mbappe's inward cut route, and it is useless at this time.

Mbappe seized the opportunity and took a quick step, catching up with the ball and wading into the left side of the penalty area.

Just when the right back of Leicester City wanted to push Mbappe to the bottom line to the corner flag, Mbappe did not break through.

He suddenly flicked lightly with his right foot, and sent a light and low flat ball pass, which was near the front of the small penalty area.

And when Mbappe broke through with the ball, Lukaku in the middle was already running non-stop.

His position also interfered with Morgan and Huth. Both of them thought that Lukaku was going to meet Mbappe, and they clamped each other one after another. They were in the small penalty area, for fear that Mbappe would pass to the goal.

But the two central defenders retreated too far back, and the space behind them was exposed instead.

At this time, Abraham quickly stepped in from behind and volleyed directly against Mbappe's pick pass.

The ball got into the lower left corner of Leicester City's goal with lightning speed!

This is a perfect goal! ! !
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"At the critical moment, Abraham decided everything with one kick!"

"The score became 1:1!"

Accompanied by the exclamation of the commentator, the Chelsea players have rushed out of the stadium frantically, and rushed all the way to celebrate under the stands where the fans of the visiting team were.

Many people also shouted and roared at the live broadcast camera, venting their inner excitement and excitement.

It was an explosion of emotions accumulated after nine or 10 minutes of fierce fighting!

Although this is only a goal to tie the score, but scoring such a goal at the last minute of the game can continue the team's unbeaten record, which undoubtedly makes everyone excited.

"Pan Yi's on-the-spot skill once again played a role."

"After Mbappe came on the field, he kept playing his role on the wing, and finally helped his teammates score goals!"

"From the slow-motion playback, we can see that the players of Leicester City are defending him from cutting inside. Whether it is Simpson or Drinkwater, they instinctively thought that Mbappé's last attack would also go away. Cut inside."

"But as a result, the young French striker suddenly went down and sent an inverted triangle return pass with his right foot."

"This completely disrupted the deployment of Leicester City!"

"In the end, 16-year-old Mbappe passed the ball, 17-year-old Abraham shot, and Chelsea completed a youth connection!"

"The two players who came off the bench completed the rescue of Chelsea. Pan Yi's substitution is really amazing!"

"Chelsea's unbeaten record will continue! Now this number has become 54 games!"
-
In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Pan Yi even jumped high, raised his arms and shouted, cheering for the players on the field non-stop.

The final lore or tie is definitely the most moving football game and the most addictive moment for fans.

Think about the 99 Champions League final, Manchester United drew consecutively at the last moment + beat Bayern, and finally completed the treble. How many people still remember such a scene?
Of course, as a head coach, Pan Yi still doesn't want his team to experience such thrills often.

My heart can't bear it!
It is not a good habit to direct the game with a quick-acting rescue pill.

Fortunately, in the past two years, Chelsea did not let him experience such things very often...
-
Not long after the Chelsea players celebrated, the referee's final whistle blew.

In the end, Chelsea drew away with Leicester City [-]-[-].

When Ranieri came over to shake hands with Pan Yi, his face was clearly frustrated.

Although a draw with Chelsea is already the dream result of many teams, but after all, Leicester City is only 1 minute away from defeating their opponents...

Unfortunately, at the last moment of the game, the cooked duck still flew away.

"You have performed very well." Pan Yi said sincerely.

Ranieri shook his head with a wry smile: "But I still can't beat you."

Pan Yi laughed and said, "Let's fight again next time."

Ranieri shook his head even more: "I have been at home for so long, and I finally found a chance to score a goal. At Stamford Bridge... I am afraid there will be no chance."

Pan Yi was also polite: "Indeed. I suffered from your defense today, and I won't do it next time."

Ranieri pouted.

Both he and Pan Yi knew that with the strength of the two teams, Leicester City would definitely not be able to please Chelsea at home.

"Come on, look forward to our appearance in the Champions League together next season!" When the two said goodbye, Pan Yi patted the old coach on the shoulder and said.

Ranieri stopped in his tracks: "By the way, I have been puzzled by one question."

"what is the problem?"

"Why do you think we can achieve good results from the beginning of the season? But even I don't have confidence. After all, we are just a relegation team."

"Uh..." Pan Yi looked up at the sky, and then said something that didn't make sense:
"Prince and general, I would rather have a seed!"
