Chapter 71: Pan Yi's Song
Arsene Wenger, who was on the sidelines, is now distraught.
As a senior coach, he can certainly see what the problem is with that goal just now.
Milan's retreat opened up space, and then accelerated to press, and the whole tactical transition was extremely smooth in one go, and the execution of the Milan players was terrifying.
This made Wenger a little envious.
Milan's players seem to have a natural sense of understanding with their coaches, a technical and tactical fit.
And this is exactly what many football coaches have pursued all their lives.
It's as strong as Arsene Wenger, which can be done in his years of coaching, that is, the Arsenal team that swept the Premier League that year.
Arsene Wenger couldn't help but glance over to the home bench.
Not far away, Pan Yi was chatting with Allegri.
This Milan side were knocked out in the last 16 of last season's Champions League by Arsenal's local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsene Wenger has also studied those two games.
At that time, Milan, although the strength was also good, there was still a significant gap between the overall mental outlook and tactical execution and this Milan.
What is it that makes them change so dramatically after one season?
Could it really be that young dragon countryman?
recalls Pan Yi's smile on him before the game......
It seems that everything is really in his calculations!
Arsene Wenger shook his head and pulled his mind back to the game.
Either way, we still can't mess with ourselves.
As long as you hold steady and keep defending well, as long as you don't concede goals again, it's not a big deal to lose even like that.
Now it's only one goal behind, in fact, from the perspective of playing away, it's barely acceptable.
Arsene Wenger shouted to his players from the sidelines:
"Don't panic! Stand in a defensive position and don't mess around! ……”
But what worries Wenger has happened.
The Arsenal players on the pitch obviously looked a little anxious after conceding this goal, and involuntarily stepped up their attack, trying to pull one back as soon as possible.
In such a situation, instead of recycling, their formation moved forward a little more.
At the same time, they did create chances to shoot.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Rosicky broke through the middle and split the side, Walket ran 20 meters with the ball and then passed to the middle, and Van Persie shot hard.
Unfortunately, the angle was too square, and it was saved by Milan's young goalkeeper Ederson.
And Ederson didn't hesitate at all after getting the ball, and went straight to a big foot.
The ball flew over most of the pitch and over the heads of Koscielny and Vermaelen......
And behind these two Arsenal centre-backs, Aubameyang started again!
Like a red-black bolt of lightning, he swept through the greenery, past Koscielny and Vermaelen.
With a touch of his toes, he gently stopped the ball that fell high in front of him, and then it was into the Arsenal box again!
This time, Aubameyang didn't wait for Szczesny to pounce on him, and he already fired a sideways shot that made a beautiful little arc into the far corner of the goal!
"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang!!!"
Zhan Jun roared again.
"Another one-shot !!!"
"The ball went in again!!!"
"Two to zero!!"
'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the 22-year-old Milan academy youngster, has been in excellent form since returning to the Milan first team from his loan spell.
'Today, starting in such an important Champions League knockout game, he also repaid the trust of the coaching staff and scored twice!
"We also want to give credit to the assister of this goal, goalkeeper Ederson!"
"The young Brazilian goalkeeper, who was just introduced in the winter window, has a very wide vision and excellent footwork. This allows him to even act as a playmaker on the field! This goal also confirms this. ”
"I also have to sigh about the vision of the Milan uniforms, how did they find such a gem and let him play in the main team in such a game?"
"There are rumors that Pan Yi also played a key role in Ederson's transfer, and combined with the growth rate of the young players brought in before, I doubt that Pan Yi is a time-traveler. Haha, just kidding......"
on the field.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang didn't celebrate anything special after the goal.
Maybe he just had a Batman mask in place.
At this time, he was running directly to the bench.
One after another Milan players who wanted to pounce on him and celebrate with him were avoided by Aubameyang like shaking the opposing player, and then rushed directly to the bench and pounced on Pan Yi.
Aubameyang knew that it was Pan Yi who proposed to start him in this game.
So, this is his way of expressing his gratitude and trust to Pan Yi.
Then, the other Milan players who caught up were not polite, and pressed up one after another.
Allegri on the side swallowed and shouted, "I'm the manager!" The urge was suppressed.
Because he saw it now, Pan Yi had been pressed to the bottom, and he couldn't see his head.
After all, he is already a middle-aged man in his 40s, and this kind of high-intensity celebration should be borne by young people, and it is not worth flashing his waist.
And with the formation of this stack of arhats, the entire San Siro stadium is completely boiling.
Just as the first half was about to end, Milan scored another goal to widen the difference.
Counting the first goal, in fact, the interval between the two goals is about ten minutes.
In the past ten minutes, it seems that Arsenal has gasped for breath and possession has also risen, but they have been knocked twice in a row.
This, of course, made all the Milan fans ecstatic.
And now that they see Pan Yi being pressed under the players, everyone is also happy.
Who wouldn't love to see a scene like this?
This shows how harmonious the atmosphere is throughout the Milan dressing room.
Now many players in the first team are all hand-picked by Pan Yi, and each of them is not famous.
But in Milan's tactical system, these young players have played a big role.
Coupled with the long-term training and games, Pan Yi, who is a good person, is obviously more loved by the players.
Immediately afterward, a special singing voice rang out at the San Siro Stadium:
"He's handsome, he's great! He knows how to make good use of people, and he is clever! ”
"But we all know he doesn't have a girlfriend......"
"This is our coach, our Pan Yi!"
"Pan Yi, Pan Yi, our Pan Yi! ……”
This is "The Song of Pan Yi" written by Milan fans especially for Pan Yi.
Looking at the whole world of football, there are many songs written for players and managers, but there is really only one song dedicated to assistant coaches, and there is no other branch.
This also illustrates Pan Yi's current status among Milan fans.
And in such a singing voice, Pan Yi finally got up from the ground.
The players were already rushing back in a swarm, ready to start the game again.
Pan Yi shook his head helplessly.
Now he was covered in water stains and grass clippings, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Damn, Aubameyang, don't play in the second half!" Pan Yi said hatefully.
