Chapter 440 Pan Yi Brand Hair Dryer
In fact, on the second day after the results of the Champions League draw came out, Chelsea's performance on the field was not satisfactory.

They ushered in the challenge of West Ham United at home.

Although West Ham has performed well this season and ranked sixth in the standings before this round, Chelsea still have a great advantage over them.

Chelsea's nearly 10 home games against West Ham have achieved 8 wins and 2 draws. The last time West Ham beat Chelsea was in 2002!
Moreover, Chelsea is playing at home, taking advantage of the right time and place, and there are more than 4 fans cheering.

However, the game was extremely difficult.

West Ham took the lead in the 17th minute!

Sacco's header was ferried, and Payette was tackled by Gretzka outside the top of the penalty area, but the unguarded Lanzini curved the ball from 20 yards into the upper right corner!

Chelsea equalized in half-time stoppage time when Mbappe was tripped on a breakthrough to earn a free-kick in front of the box.

Hazard shot directly from 25 yards, the ball bypassed the wall and entered the upper left corner, 1:1.

But in the second half, West Ham surpassed again in the 61st minute. Payet counterattacked and made a direct pass. Carroll, who had just come off the bench for only 1 minute, shot a rebound ball from the left rib of the penalty area 12 yards into the near corner, 1:2.

Since then, Pan Yi dispatched troops to strengthen the offense, and Chelsea began to occupy an absolute advantage on the field.

In the 65th minute, Hazard made a free kick from the left, and Gretzka headed high from close range.

In the 67th minute, Hazard's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Obonna. He continued to take a corner kick, and Lukaku's header from the edge of the small penalty area went higher again.

In the 70th minute, Hazard's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked, and the unguarded Mbappe shot a barb from 10 yards.

Captain Terry, who started today, continued to inspire his teammates in such adversity, but Chelsea continued to waste opportunities.

In the 75th minute, Hazard took a corner kick and Terry headed slightly higher from the edge of the penalty area.

In the 80th minute, Matic's arc shot from 15 yards was blocked by Payette and missed the right post. Lukaku beat Carroll in the melee and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Adrian.

In the 87th minute, West Ham United got a good chance instead. Carroll headed the goal in a corner kick melee. Courtois was helpless, and Terry made a key clearance in front of the goal line to avoid the score being expanded!

Chelsea finally equalized in the 89th minute!
Hazard sent a direct pass in the counterattack. Loftus Cheek, who came off the bench, fell on the edge of the penalty area under the defense of Antonio.

Chelsea tried to resume the game quickly, while West Ham goalkeeper Adrian kicked the ball away with a big foot to delay time, but was booked.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Chelsea won a free kick from 1 yards.

Eden Hazard flicks the ball away and David Luiz strikes past West Ham with an erratic deflection kick!

At the last moment, Chelsea overtook the score!

Chelsea won the Hammers 3:2 at home with difficulty, keeping the record of home victory.

But Pan Yi was obviously not very satisfied with such a game process.

Just considering that the players never gave up when they were behind, they gritted their teeth and persisted until the last minute, and finally relied on David Luiz's final lore to score three points, Pan Yi didn't say anything, and still encouraged him Mainly.

And after the end of this round, there will be another two-week international match day. The Premier League will be suspended for two weeks. It is not very meaningful to criticize and educate now, so forget it first.

In this round, Leicester City still defeated Newcastle United with an economical score of 1:0, and the gap with Chelsea remained at 17 points.

With 8 rounds left in the league, it can be said that it is only a matter of time before Chelsea win the championship.

At the end of this round of competition, the international players all went to the national team.

Their task at this stage is mainly to prepare for the 2016 European Cup, warm up and run-in the lineup.

The qualifying stage of the 2016 European Cup has already ended. Since there are 24 teams participating in the final stage of this cup, most of the traditional strong teams will be present.

For example, France, England, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Portugal...

But there is still a strong team absent, and that is the Netherlands.

When they faced the Czech Republic, Iceland, and Turkey in the group stage, they didn't take advantage of it at all, and they lost a total of five games!

In the end, they could only be ranked fourth in the group, and they didn't even qualify for the play-offs, so they were eliminated miserably.

Therefore, in this European Cup, it seems that Van Dijk can only accompany Pan Yi to watch the game...
-
It's just that when the players of the national team dragged their tired bodies back to England and regrouped to go to the away game against Aston Villa, they once again played a relatively poor performance.

Although both sides were affected by the national team's game, Aston Villa was significantly less affected. After all, their number of international players is not much, and most of them are not the main players.

Due to Chelsea's excellent performance in the past two seasons, coupled with Pan Yi's insistence on the rotation strategy, most of the first-team players have the opportunity to perform, resulting in almost all of them being international players!
This gives Aston Villa an advantage in both physical fitness and state.

In this "head-to-tail battle" between the top and bottom of the Premier League, they even suppressed Chelsea on the scene!
In the middle of the game, for a long time, Chelsea was beaten by Aston Villa and had to retreat to the goal!

It can be said that Chelsea played the most embarrassing game this season.

However, the shooting skills of Aston Villa players are also not good-the least number of goals in the Premier League is the main reason why they are ranked at the bottom.

Although Glarish's breakthrough created many opportunities, they were all shot away by teammates' waves one by one.

In the end, the two sides scored a goalless draw at Villa Park Stadium, each scoring one point.

It was also Chelsea's sixth draw of the season.

Although he still didn't lose, and although he still continued his astonishing unbeaten record of 69 league games, Pan Yi still lost his temper.

He turned on the hair dryer in the locker room after the game and decided to wake up these players:
"This is definitely the worst game of the season and the most disappointing game for me!"

"You have to thank the Aston Villa strikers. Let's put it this way, if they take even one in ten chances, we're going to lose here.

"Do you hear the noise outside? The Aston Villa fans are celebrating. Why? Why are we celebrating after a draw? Because we are Chelsea, number one Chelsea."

"Drawing against Chelsea is something to celebrate for them, and what makes them even more happy is that they almost beat us. They are only the bottom team after all!"

"Yes, you just came back from the national team, you will be a little tired, but this is not a reason. We are not the intensive schedule after experiencing the national team once or twice!"

"Before the game, I also got your physical data from the team doctor and fitness coach, so the players who are sent to the field must be players with good physical condition."

"The reason why you didn't win is that your hearts were a little flustered. Do you think that the league title has already been won, and even the FA Cup and Champions League titles are in your hands?"

"What I want to tell you is that if you continue to play like this, you will probably get nothing! At the end of the season, there is only one League Cup. Are you happy?"

Pan Yi kept asking questions, and the players all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

Why their performance is so poor, they also understand in their hearts.

With all the fronts going smoothly, everyone is indeed a little slack.

So facing a team like Aston Villa fighting for relegation, it's really a bit exhausting.

As a result, he was almost bitten back.

Another point is that if the team's performance in the first half was not satisfactory, and it was just a little bit unadjusted after returning from the national team, if it is excusable, then the second half is obviously very inappropriate.

Pan Yi reminded the players to pay attention to their mentality during the intermission and adjusted the team's tactics.

Unexpectedly, in the second half, everyone still xjbt as usual, without any sign of turning the situation around.

This is hard to accept.

After all, what Pan Yi dislikes the most is that the players did not strictly follow the coach's tactical instructions!

Otherwise, it would not be possible to face a team that is at the bottom of the Premier League and has only won three games so far, playing like it is today.

"In three days, we will play in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. If you still use this state to play Benfica, do you think you can win?"

"Are you a little overconfident? Or do you think the team ranked first in the Portuguese Super League is easier to deal with than the team ranked last in the Premier League?"

"If this is the case, then you don't have to kick it anymore, let's admit defeat, I can't afford to lose face!"

Pan Yi scolded so fiercely, which made the players feel insecure.

The main reason is that the team has been really smooth recently. Pan Yi mainly encourages and praises everyone, and rarely scolds the players.

In fact, the head coach has always been like brothers to them, very polite and able to joke together, so the atmosphere in the locker room is so harmonious.

After all, they are all the same age, so there is no generation gap at all.

But now, Pan Yi looked really angry.

This made the players a little uncomfortable and a little scared at the same time.

But they all knew in their hearts that the head coach was right.

They must cheer up, otherwise, if they really end up with nothing, it will not be of any benefit to the team or their own career development!

At that time, they will only suffer more!
-
"Would you scold a little too fiercely?"

Pan Yi walked out of the locker room, and Arteta trotted over immediately, asking a little nervously.

Players don't often see Pan Yi go crazy, and Arteta is not common either!
So he is in the same mood as the players now, and he is a little nervous.

"These brats are really disturbing. If you don't scold them properly, you probably won't remember your last name or name." Pan Yi shook his head and smiled wryly.

"You should be scolded, you should be scolded." Arteta nodded, "You should be scolded for being kicked like this by the bottom-bottom team. It's just that you scolded a bit fiercely. I'm afraid the players will rebound."

Seeing Arteta's serious face, Pan Yi suddenly wanted to laugh.

Is this scolding fiercely?

Brother Tazi, you don't know that when you become the head coach, you are much more fierce than me!

In Pan Yi's previous life, he had watched Arsenal's documentary.

It was the 2021-2022 season, and the background was that Arsenal were competing for No. 4 with North London rival Tottenham.

In the 36th round, Tottenham beat Burnley first and moved up to fourth place by 2 points.

And if Arsenal win away at Newcastle United on May 5, they will regain fourth place by one point.

As a result, in this decisive game at St. James' Park Stadium, Arsenal lost 0:2 and lost the initiative to compete for the top four.

After the game, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta erupted in the away dressing room.

He called the players who were changing clothes together, and there was a burst of cursing.

First of all, Arteta yelled "shut up" at the players as soon as he came up, and kicked water bottles and the like on the dressing room floor - almost the most violent performance in an FM game.

Arteta then told the players:
"We were fucking shitty in possession, we had no organisation, we had nothing. Nothing. Nothing - nothing!"

"So, now, shut your mouths and swallow this result!"

"We could have scored eight goals! If you looked back at their chances, you would have cried. You would have cried for the way we played!"

"No, you can't say that, we are not in their class at all. Newcastle is [-] times better than our team. Everything we do here is embarrassing!"

"This is really embarrassing! What happened today is completely unacceptable. If you can accept such a game, it means that you and I live in a different world."

"A whole different world."

After speaking, Arteta slammed the door and left, leaving only the players who looked like criminals, staring down at the locker room floor.

In this "speech", Arteta's "F" language exceeded the standard, almost every sentence contained swear words, and he unreservedly vented his dissatisfaction.

Now, your Tazi brother is still saying to Pan Yi, "Could you scold me too much?"

Hahahaha...

This fully demonstrates that one should not persuade others to be kind without the suffering of others.If you suffer from me, you may not be as good as me.

However, looking at Pan Yi's smile at this time, Arteta felt a little hairy.

He didn't understand what he said just now, what's so funny?
"Actually, I really don't think Benfica is so difficult to play." Pan Yi explained his motivation to Arteta, "But after Benfica? Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, ​​​​Manchester City, which one is better to play? Therefore Well, I have to do this..."

Arteta nodded slightly and began to listen carefully to Pan Yi's teachings.

He knows that being a good head coach is definitely not just about having the training and tactics in place.

Mastering the psychology of players, motivating players to fight when they are down, and reviving players when they are slack are all very important professional abilities.

Especially when they are advancing all the way, young players will involuntarily lose their concentration on the court, which is often not felt by the players themselves.

So at this time, they should be properly pressured to stimulate them to continue to maintain their state.

In this regard, Pan Yi is still very experienced.

In this world, is there any coach who can keep winning longer than Pan Yi?
Behind his superb tactical deployment and on-the-spot command, it is also the result of Pan Yi's attention to the mental state of the players day after day.

When the high-profile should be high-profile, it arouses the players' fighting spirit;
Low profile when it's time to low profile and avoid player inflation.

This "one religion in the world" is really not false!
-
At the press conference before the home game against Benfica two days later, Pan Yi used the "low-key" trick.

The main reason is that Chelsea did not perform very well in the last two rounds of Premier League games, and everyone can see this.

This also caused a lot of discussion in the outside media.

Many people believe that Chelsea is far ahead in the Premier League and is about to win the championship. In addition, they have drawn Benfica in the quarter-finals. They are lucky. The players may be a little blind and slack because of this.

Later, it was reported that Pan Yi was furious in the locker room.

This also makes Chelsea supporters worry whether such reprimands will arouse the disgust of the players and make the team's morale even lower, which will be detrimental to the upcoming Champions League knockout rounds.

Therefore, when faced with questions from reporters, Pan Yi calmly expressed the hope that the players would pay attention to Benfica, the leader of the Portuguese Super League, and play at a true level in the game.

"This is a duel between the two teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and it is also a duel between the number one in the Premier League and the number one in the Portuguese Super League, so the outcome is unpredictable."

"Not to mention anything else, we once bought Cancelo and the B seat in Benfica. What is their current level? And they were just first-team substitutes in Benfica."

"So, their strength is very strong. If our players can't pay attention to tomorrow's opponent, it is likely to get a bitter result."

This is to keep a low profile while supporting the opponent by the way.

If you can calm down your mentality while making your opponent float, that would be great.

And after that locker room lecture, Pan Yi actually found many players for one-on-one communication.

The main purpose of this is to ease the emotions of the players as much as possible and avoid any real stress on the premise of ensuring the effect of the lecture.

After all, the team is still dominated by young players. Sometimes there are still things that children can't think of for a while. It would be bad if it affects training and games.

But it turns out that Pan Yi's worries were overblown.

The mental attributes of these Chelsea players are all very good!
Former Arsenal generals Gnabry and Martin said, what are you scolding, boss.

Wenger scolded people, he didn't bring a repeat for an hour, and there were not many places in the locker room that were complete!
Former Manchester United player Lingard even told Pan Yi vividly about the "Beckham Flying Boots" incident he had heard...

But all in all, Pan Yi still treated this accident with caution, and it seems that the effect is not bad now.

Of course, the real effect depends on the real performance of the players on the field! ——
As Pan Yi said to Arteta, in fact, Benfica's strength is really average.

The head coach is called Vittoria, is he famous?No.

The captain is Luisson from Brazil, and the vice-captain is Gaitan from Argentina. They are also the core players of the team. Are they famous?nor.

In this team, Pan Yi is most familiar with Cesar, the former Brazil goalkeeper and Inter Milan's triple crown goalkeeper.

But he, who was born in September 79, is 9 years old this year and is at the end of his career, otherwise he would not have come to Benfica.

They were behind Atletico Madrid in the group stage and qualified as second in the group.

In this group, No.3 and No.4 are Turkey's Galatasaray and Kazakhstan's Astana respectively, both of which are mediocre.

After qualifying, Benfica drew Zenit, the weakest player in the first place in the group, and then double-killed their opponents to pass the test and break into the quarterfinals.

Therefore, part of their ability to enter the quarterfinals was due to their good performance, but another part was due to good luck, and they did not encounter any real strong enemies along the way.

Therefore, Pan Yi asked the players to be cautious in the locker room and kept a low profile at the press conference, which does not mean that they will stop playing during the game.

After all, today is a home game, and the overall strength is stronger than the opponent. How could it be possible not to attack the opponent?
Moreover, he started attacking from the first minute of the game, using his advantage in possession of the ball, firmly controlled the game in his own hands, and strived to end the battle in the first round!
This is Pan Yi's strategy in this game.

After Pan Yi's beating, the morale of Chelsea has improved a lot, and the players have become more active.

They also said that in today's game, they must show their true level, and they can't be as bad as the previous two games!
