The final of the 2014 World Cup was played between Germany and Argentina.

In the two semi-finals before that, Argentina beat the Netherlands on penalties, while Germany beat Brazil 3-1, a relatively normal scoreline.

In other words, there really was no 7:1 tragedy.

Pan Yi understands that this should be his "contribution" to Brazilian football.

The ball did still lose, but at least it didn't make another national shame day.

In the final, there was no change in the result.

The two teams played to extra time and a stunning strike from Gotze helped Germany win the World Cup against Argentina.

It was this lore that made Messi's road to king drag on for eight years;

It was this stunner that seemed to sacrifice all of Gotze's luck, and after that, his level of competition began to fluctuate and his football career began to decline......

But then again, Götze alone can contribute to two famous scenes in football history, so what's there to regret?

Oh, the first famous scene is his stunner against Argentina, so what is the second famous scene?

Of course, it's the photo of him holding his wife, and he can't help it!

After the German team won the championship, head coach Loew said after the game that he had learned a lot from Pan Yi from his previous residency in Hamburg.

Including in the selection of the German lineup, Pan Yi also gave a lot of professional advice.

Therefore, Loew expressed his heartfelt thanks to Pan Yi!

——

A few days after the World Cup ended, several consecutive blockbuster news detonated the world football.

The first is that Real Madrid spent 80 million euros to sign Colombian star, James Rodriguez, from Monaco!

In this World Cup, Ronaldo scored six goals, won the Golden Boot award, and led Colombia to the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

Such a good performance, coupled with a very high appearance, made Real Madrid can't help but start.

And such a high price is not the standard of this summer window.

As if to fight against Real Madrid, Barcelona also officially announced the introduction of Uruguayan striker Suarez from Liverpool, with a transfer fee of up to 81 million euros!

As a result, Barcelona's new forward combination MSN that can compete with Real Madrid has also been formed.

It's just that, compared with the next one message, the player transfer information of the above two items is a little bland.

That is, Chelsea officially announced that Pan Yi, the coach of the Dragon Kingdom who just led the Hamburg team to win the treble last season, will officially enter Stamford Bridge!

This also announced that the battle for the world's most high-profile coach in the past two months has also come to an end.

Of course, this news alone is not exciting enough.

According to well-informed sources, in order to win Pan Yi's joining, Chelsea actually offered a sky-high annual salary of 20 million euros!

This is already the highest salary in the world among coaches.

Even if all the players are added, they are actually lower than a few people such as Messi and Ronaldo.

Therefore, when Chelsea announced that they would hold a grand signing ceremony at Stamford Bridge, the press conference room was packed with reporters in attendance!

In fact, the ceremony itself is very simple, that is, Chelsea chairman Bruce Barker and CEO Ron Gurray accompanied Pan Yi to sign a contract that had been drawn up for reporters to take pictures.

After a few simple gestures, and then a few more "pops", the signing ceremony is over.

Pan Yi has officially become the new head coach of Chelsea!

And then there's the part of the world media that flocks to the world: the press conference!

Just labels such as "Treble-winning coach switched to Chelsea" and "the world's highest salary" will explode in traffic.

Not to mention, the head coach that Pan Yi took over is the "king of traffic" Mourinho!

Reporters have been preparing a lot of questions to ask the young coach from the Dragons, and of course hope that he will have something surprising, just like Mourinho did when he first arrived at Stamford Bridge.

Therefore, when Pan Yi walked into the press conference hall, all kinds of long guns and short cannons had already been erected, and the muzzles of the guns were unanimously aimed at the middle of the podium.

As soon as Pan Yi sat down, there was another flash of "pop papa", and then immediately a reporter from "Bild" stood up and asked:

"Did you leave the Bundesliga for the Premier League because you were giving more money? I understand that you want a new challenge, but why not go to Bayern Munich? ”

This is clearly a German journalist with a bit of a grudge.

After all, Pan Yi's two years in Hamburg have objectively brought more exposure to the Bundesliga, and even to a certain extent, it has also driven the German team's achievements in the World Cup.

Many German reporters already regard Pan Yi as "their own person", but they just ran to the United Kingdom, which they have always looked down on, which inevitably makes them feel uncomfortable.

So as soon as he came up, Pan Yi faced such a sharp problem.

And Pan Yi was also prepared, and said with a slight smile:

"It's probably because I don't think the challenge is quite what you define it to be."

"I love challenging new leagues, new opponents, including challenging the world's No. 1 salary."

'I don't mean to be disrespectful to Pep Guardiola or Bayern, but leading a team like Bayern to dominate the Bundesliga is not a challenge that I define as a challenge.

'I'm a professional coach and Chelsea FC is willing to give me the best salary in the world to show that they recognise my value. And I'm going to prove that I'm worth it in the next season. ”

As soon as Pan Yi's words fell, there was a burst of applause at the scene.

His answer was neither arrogant nor humble, which not only easily resolved the German reporter's question, but also showed his determination, which is really a textbook-like template.

'Do you think there's a difference from the Bundesliga to the Premier League? Then there was a reporter for the Manchester Evening News.

"There is a difference, and there is no difference." Pan Yi replied easily:

"The difference is that the Premier League is probably the most difficult league in the world today, with more teams and more competition. Whether it's Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, or Arsenal, there are countless talented players. ”

"Thanks to the good financial income of the Premier League and the large investment of the club, the middle and lower teams of the Premier League are also very strong, so I am looking forward to the new season here."

"And what I'm saying makes no difference is ......"

"Anyway, I beat Premier League champions Manchester City when I was in Hamburg and I beat a strong team like Arsenal in Milan, so the Premier League team is nothing special for me."

'I'm coming to Chelsea now and I'm going to beat them and then win the title!'

The reporters present all glanced at each other.

Sure enough, it is worthy of Pan Yi.

On his first day at Chelsea, he shouted the slogan of winning the championship.

Although Chelsea's squad is indeed very good, he himself said that there are many strong teams in the Premier League, is he really so sure that he can win the championship?

'The current Chelsea squad is basically built by Jose Mourinho, will you overhaul it?' This is a local London journalist.

"If you're talking about the style of play, obviously I'm not on the same page as him." Pan Yi replied:

"Jose Mourinho prefers to play counter-attacking tactics and I will continue to use my attacking style of play."

'I can't tell you exactly what kind of tactics I'm going to play at Chelsea, but it's definitely different from what I used when I was at Hamburg.

The London-based journalist asked: "Does that mean you're going to have a big purge of players?" Four veterans, including Frank Lampard, have left the club at the end of their contracts. Will you go on a buying spree in the transfer market next? ”

Pan Yi replied: "I will only decide whether the player can stay based on whether he can meet my tactical needs, and there is no purge. ”

"Of the players who have reached the end of their contract, I found that only Terry, the captain, can still meet the needs of my current team and he can still play an important role, so I just chose to renew his contract and that's it."

'Also, I will keep the vast majority of the players in Chelsea's first team at the moment and I will not let them go.'

"As for operations in the transfer market, there will be. To be honest, I was surprised by the generosity of the club's owner, Mr. Abou, and I suspect that even if I offered to buy Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, he would not hesitate to agree. ”

Speaking of this, everyone in the press conference hall burst into laughter.

Someone with good deeds really asked: "So, will you go to Barcelona or Real Madrid to buy them?" ”

"No, it won't." Pan Yi also replied dryly:

"Although Mr. Abu is indeed rich, I don't want to spend it like that."

"On the contrary, I probably won't buy too many people and spend too much money in the transfer market this season."

"I'm only going to make targeted reinforcements in some key positions, and I'm going to dig inside in other positions."

'Chelsea have so much talent! Whether it's a loan player or a youth team player, I'm willing to give them more opportunities. ”

Pan Yi said this, which surprised the reporters present.

Everyone knows that Chelsea Football Club has money and Abu has money.

Now they have hired Pan Yi with the world's highest salary, and they must have given him a sufficient transfer budget to disrupt the entire market this summer.

Just like Pan Yi joked about Messi and Ronaldo just now, if they are really implemented, there is even a certain chance that it will be realized!

No one dares to doubt Abu's money and love for football!

But now Pan Yi said that he should focus on the excavation of young players in his team?

If it is Manchester United and Liverpool, which have always paid more attention to their own academy players, everyone can still understand this.

But Chelsea?

This has always been a team known in world football as an "international column".

When they participated in the Champions League, they often even chose to sign up for fewer players because they could not report the quota of "four local youth training + four local youth training".

Therefore, Pan Yi's words inevitably attracted a burst of muttering from the audience.

A reporter from the Daily Mail asked: "Mr. Pan Yi, you say that, is it because the club actually doesn't give you a high performance target?" But you've just shouted the slogan of winning the Premier League......"

"These two points are not in conflict." Pan Yi said with a smile.

"The club really didn't put any pressure on me to get results. It's a trust in me and I'm grateful for that. ”

"However, they don't put pressure, I have to give it myself. At a club as big as Chelsea, how can you go far without a big goal? ”

'As I said, I want to beat all the big teams in the Premier League to win the title. But I would also like to say that my goal is much more than that. ”

"Wait for the players to come back from the World Cup vacation, wait for the young players to finish training with the first team, wait for the new signings to run in and integrate into the team......"

'At that point, we can start looking forward to winning the Champions League together.'

Pan Yi's words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

Champions League winners?

If Pan Yi just talked about the Premier League championship, everyone just thought that Pan Yi's tone was a little louder, but when it came to winning the Champions League, his tone was still so relaxed, it was a bit incredible.

After all, this is the first title in Chelsea's history!

It's also the ultimate dream of all Chelsea people, including owner Abu!

In that respect, Chelsea are not even as good as the Hamburgers they were before this season – the old Hamburgers did so many years ago.

Pan Yi smiled confidently: "I remember, when I said I wanted to win the championship in Hamburg, you also had this expression. ”

"Please, what the hell do you have to do to make you think I'm not bragging? Do you have to say I'm a special one? ”

'This is Chelsea, they're much better than when I first took over Hamburg.'

'I won the Champions League in Hamburg in two years, so you don't believe I can do it in one year at Chelsea?'

"Okay, I'll put it here. Let's see again in June next year! ”

Pan Yi's words were firm, but media reporters generally questioned Pan Yi's statement.

Although Chelsea is indeed good, and although Pan Yi's ability has also been recognized, winning the Champions League has never been just a matter of ability.

Cup competitions are not the same as leagues, and there is too much chance factor.

It is possible for Pan Yi to win the Champions League once, but twice in a row?

And it's two different teams in a row?

It's even harder.

No manager in history has been able to do that!

Not to mention winning the championship in a row, it is to lead different teams to the Champions League final for two consecutive years, and there is no one!

Even if you are Pan Yi, even if you have achieved brilliant results in Serie A and Bundesliga in the past, it is an almost impossible task! ——

The next day, Pan Yi's bold remarks after the signing ceremony were immediately spread to all over the world through various media, causing widespread discussion.

Of course, this is divided into "pro-Pan faction" and "anti-Pan faction".

People who support Pan Yi, the media and fans believe that Pan Yi is certainly not bragging.

When has he bragged over the past few years?

And every time he says he wants to win the championship, whenever everyone thinks he's bragging, he always slaps these people in the face in time at the end.

"As Pan Yi said, Chelsea are far superior to Hamburg in terms of overall strength and finances."

'If he was able to buy young players and develop them for success with a small amount of money in Hamburg, why not at Chelsea?'

"If you go back to the cheaper players he brought in during his time as an assistant coach at Milan, you wouldn't be able to question him like that."

"With Chelsea's foundation and Pan Yi's coaching ability, I doubt he can win all the titles if he wants to!"

Apart from the neutral fans, it was the Chelsea fans who were most excited.

After all, they have never won the Champions League in their history!

Although they have won three Premier League titles in the past decade, they still seem to have been regarded as "nouveau riche" rather than a real giant until they won the trophy, which represents the highest honour in European football.

This has made it difficult for Chelsea fans to really look up in front of Liverpool and Manchester United fans all the time.

Originally, Mourinho's two arrivals gave them hope, but they still ended in defeat again and again.

And now, Pan Yi is here!

He's coming, he's coming!

He came with the aura of the Triple Crown!

And as soon as he came, he declared that he wanted to win the Premier League and the Champions League!

Such self-confidence, even the "madman" has never had!

Therefore, most Chelsea fans support Pan Yi, they believe that under Pan Yi's leadership, Chelsea can really make a historic breakthrough!

The reason is simple, Pan Yi has never disappointed!

But there are also many opponents.

For example, the guests of Sky Sports.

Gary Neville said that it is understandable for Pan Yi to shout the slogan that he can win the Premier League and the Champions League, but he said that he does not need to spend too much money on the transfer market, which is to pretend to be too much.

'Why did Chelsea win the Premier League in the first place? It is because of Abu's great investment. ”

"They have brought in the likes of Crespo, Makelele, Duff, Veron, Drogba, Cech...... And so on and so forth, so that today's results and scale have been. ”

'Now they want to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, which is understandable, so please keep putting money into it.'

"In fact, when Abu invited Pan Yi to Chelsea, he asked him to spend money to build a strong team and sweep across Europe, right? Even if he throws in 200 million or 300 million at once, I won't be surprised. ”

"But it's good now, Pan Yi said not to spend so much money? Feelings, he is ready to let Abu save money to pay him a salary? ”

'I don't really think Pan Yi can succeed at Chelsea.

Roy Keane nodded in agreement:

"If a team wants to win the title, especially the Champions League, it's either to throw money at it or have good academy players like we at Manchester United."

'But what does Chelsea have? Some of them are just a mess of miscellaneous players, and I heard that there are dozens of players on loan a year alone! ”

"Coupled with the two youth teams that are not good, Pan Yi's eyes are so poisonous, how many players can he find from more than a hundred children?"

At this time, the host Lineker reminded: "Pan Yi's vision seems to be really vicious, otherwise how could he form such a cost-effective Milan and Hamburg?" ”

Roy Keane waved his hand:

'At that time, he was selected all over the world, and maybe he used the club's scouting system to make his own judgment.

"But the team's loan players or youth players, if there are any who can become talents, they have already been promoted to the first team, and will they be retained?"

'That in itself shows that Chelsea don't have a lot of talent other than the first-team players.'

"Otherwise, would they need to be in the Premier League and Champions League games so often that the squad is not full? It's not just because the academy players can't get together the registration requirements. ”

"All in all, I think he's going to roll over this time, so let's wait and see his jokes!"

Gary Neville also picked up the conversation and said:

"In fact, I think every word Pan Yi said at the press conference was as if he had just drunk a drink, and it was not nutritious. Maybe it's because I got the world's highest salary, and I'm happy to have a few more drinks? ”

"I just want to ask him, apart from the Champions League, why do you want to win the Premier League?"

"You also know that there are a lot of strong teams here, and the weak teams are not weak, and then they say they can win the championship? It's really illogical. ”

"I really don't understand, where did he get the confidence to say this? Is his previous coaching experience a little too smooth? ”

So he started to be a little self-righteous, always thinking that he could do everything he wanted. But in the new season, the cutthroat competition will tell him, sorry, this is the Premier League! ”

"If I had to predict this year's Premier League title...... I would say, it's Manchester United! ”

In the 2013/14 season, David Moyes' Manchester United set a number of disgraceful records:

ended the season in 7th place in the worst Premier League in team history and missed the European competition next season;

First defeat at home to Swansea;

For the first time, they were beaten by the top three in the northwest (Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City);

The first time in the Premier League, an opponent scored a goal in the first minute;

4 rounds ahead of schedule to lock in the lowest points in Premier League team history;

Manchester United's record of being named in the Premier League Team of the Year for 23 consecutive seasons has also been ......

As a result, the club officially announced Moyes' dismissal.

And the one who will lead Manchester United into the new season will be Dutch coach Louis van Gaal.

This is also where Gary Neville's confidence lies.

After all, Van Gaal is also the famous coach who has led the team to win the Champions League and La Liga titles!

Many Manchester United fans also believe that under his leadership, Manchester United will quickly get out of the trough and return to the top of the Premier League!

And Carragher, who spoke last, did not comment on Neville's "Manchester United won the championship" remarks, he only expressed his cautious opinion on Pan Yi:

"I feel that it is too early to make any judgment on Pan Yi's remarks."

'He's just signed for Chelsea, which means he's just starting his job at Chelsea.'

"Before that, I only heard that he brought the strength and conditioning coach Pintus and recruited a recently retired player, Scaloni, into the coaching staff."

"And apart from deciding whether to renew the contracts of several veterans whose contracts are expiring, he doesn't seem to have made any moves, especially in the transfer market, and what he says about promoting new players."

"So, we still have to watch what he does next."

"Perhaps, his remarks at the press conference were just a façade?"

"Actually, he's just going to buy big in the transfer market......"
