"Everyone's performance today was fantastic!"

After the game, Chelsea's owner Roman Abramovich also brought Chairman Bruce Backer, CEO Ron Gurray and other senior executives to the Chelsea dressing room to congratulate the team's coaches, players and staff.

As the owner of the team, and as a owner who loves football and loves the club, Abu is basically in the stands at Stamford Bridge and sometimes follows him away from home if he can't get out of the way.

And the reason why he didn't come to the locker room after the previous Premier League games is mainly because today's game is the Champions League game he values the most!

The Premier League title, Chelsea has already won it after all.

And the trophy of the Champions League, Abu has never touched! His desire for it can be imagined.

It's a bit like he's chasing two beauties at the same time, one has already succeeded, and the other one has been on the verge of leaving, which haunts you.

In such a situation, the beauty behind him certainly occupies his heart even more - not to mention that this beauty is indeed more beautiful and heartwarming.

And today is the first Champions League game of the season.

As the saying goes, it's hard to get started.

And in such a strong dialogue, Chelsea, under the leadership of Pan Yi, defeated the strong rival Dortmund by an overwhelming advantage, how happy Absonti was.

Therefore, he also made an exception and rushed down to chat with everyone - as a manager who understands football, he actually knows that he shouldn't be in the team's locker room often, so such things are not common.

"Pan Yi, I am very satisfied with the team you lead. Not only can you win, but you can also win beautifully! ”

Abu was in a particularly comfortable mood today, and while talking, he even put his hand on Pan Yi's shoulder.

This also made Bruce Barker, Ron Gurray and others have expressions on their faces that can't be said to be envy or surprise.

Although Abu is a very approachable boss, it is not very common to see such a hug with his employees.

At least as chairmen and CEOs, they have not had such an "honor".

This also shows Pan Yi's current status in Abu's mind.

Although from the management level of the club, the position of chairman and CEO is above Pan Yi, the head coach, or the "football manager", it is obvious that Pan Yi, at least in the current club, is probably "under one person, above ten thousand".

Chairman Bruce Barker even seriously envisioned a possibility, that is, if he had any conflict with Pan Yi, then he would exercise his chairmanship to fire Pan Yi......

I don't know who will be fired in the end?

I'm afraid that Abu will not hesitate to choose Pan Yi instead of him!

Thinking of this, Bruce Buck can only be glad that Pan Yi is a person who seems to be very "kind" and only focuses on football and does not engage in office politics.

Otherwise......

At this time, I only heard Pan Yi say to Abu: "This is also thanks to the support of the boss, the boss, and the senior management of the club, so that we can confidently and boldly implement all the plans and policies!" ”

Pan Yi was also a person who had mixed in the workplace in his previous life, so he naturally knew the importance of building a good relationship with the company's upper leaders and bosses.

So whether he had a very good relationship with Galliani in Milan or Jahof in Hamburg, it also allowed him not to be affected by some off-field factors or trivial matters.

People's time and energy are limited, if you are a head coach, you fight with the boss and the top management, and the players and coaches catch the ghosts, and you are "busy" to death all day long, how can you have any intention to do football itself?

Now Pan Yi is to make the players and coaches in his team obedient, so when necessary, he will also praise the boss and senior management to make them happy.

Tout each other and make progress together!

Maybe we'll get even more support then.

Sure enough, Abu, Chairman Bruce Barker, and CEO Ron Gurray were all smiling after hearing this, and Abu patted Pan Yi on the shoulder and said:

"If there's anything you need to add to your squad, just tell me. Otherwise, I will ask Ronaldo or Messi what he means in the winter window? ”

——

When Pan Yi went to the press conference hall at Stamford Bridge, Abu chatted with him for a long time.

Isn't that the same thing about the desire for the Champions League?

Of course, Pan Yi understands his thoughts, and he definitely wants to help him win the Champions League.

Alas, if it weren't for Pan Yi's existence, Abu would have been able to lift the Champions League trophy more than two years ago.

Where is it like now, it's so and thirsty that it really wants to extend the "devil's claws" to Ronaldo and Messi!

He's not kidding!

But Pan Yi still let Abu relax, saying that even if there is no Ronaldo and Messi, he can win the Champions League!

Last year's Hamburg, for example, didn't have a single big star, did it?

So he made all kinds of assurances, patted his chest and said that there was no problem, so that this "good British boss" left with a satisfied face.

For Pan Yi, Ronaldo and Messi are indeed good, but they are not necessary.

And an honest man like Messi, if it weren't for the fact that Barcelona had a bad incident later, which made Messi cold and forced to be helpless, he would probably be old in Barcelona.

Let's talk about the current year of 2014, if someone tells you that Messi will transfer to such and such a team, you must think that he is a psychopath.

As for Ronaldo, he can buy it.

But he has just moved to Real Madrid, and if he really wants to buy him, he doesn't know how much it will cost.

Of course, more importantly, for a time-traveler with a system like Pan Yi, is it necessary to spend a lot of money to buy an all-star lineup?

Assuming that Abu really has a set of lineups, they are all the most awesome stars in this period.

For example, striker Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi Gasuya, Neymar, Robery, etc., the midfield is full of Habaib, Magic Flute or something, you take them to win the championship, who cares who the coach is?

A real leash dog crown!

Let's give you two examples that are not very appropriate.

For example, Zidane later led Real Madrid to win three consecutive Champions League titles, but when everyone talks about him, they generally say that he can control the dressing room, or metaphysics, but few people will really think that he is the world's No. 1 manager.

The combination of BBC+ ceremony three midfielders is really a bit buggy.

The same is true for Luis Enrique, who led Barcelona to five crowns, because the squad itself is an all-star.

MSN+ Habaib, with big guys like Puyol and Alves behind it, at least on paper, makes people feel that there are almost no weaknesses.

Therefore, Pan Yi definitely doesn't want to become such a "leashed dog" coach.

What he is doing now is to use Chelsea's basic squad, plus the youth academy he promoted, and a few bought "future stars", to compete for the championship again.

It's not something that just a coach can do.

After all, most of the people in this lineup didn't know each other.

A player like Romelu Lukaku who is at best just an up-and-coming star is still far from a star, not to mention players like B and Joao Cancelo who have just been promoted to Benfica's first team.

In fact, even if it is a player who is already very famous like Hazard, his personal awards are only at the level of the best young player in the first division, the best player in Ligue 1, and the best young player in the Premier League.

It is completely incomparable with the top three players in the Real Madrid Barcelona team who are the Golden Ball at every turn!

So, Chelsea's squad is just right now.

The strength of the players is also enough to impact various championships, and it can reflect the awesomeness of the coach.

Therefore, Abu's kindness, Pan Yi can only understand it! ——

"Pan Yi's football is the most beautiful football!"

The next day, The Times' sports column analysed the Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund match, in which he praised Pan Yi's line-up and Chelsea's performance.

The journalist who wrote the column believes that Pan Yi's Chelsea have not only conquered the Premier League, but now continue to conquer Europe.

'Chelsea fans enjoyed a fantastic game and the brave Jurgen Klopp led Borussia Dortmund against Chelsea only to taste the bitter consequences of defeat.

'The fact that Borussia Dortmund didn't really threaten the Chelsea goal in the game, they challenged the windmills like Don Quixote, but the fate of defeat was already preordained.

"Pan Yi's Chelsea team is already a lot ahead of other teams in terms of tactical concepts, which allows them to take the opponent and the strategy they face and win the battle."

The column also wrote that Pan Yi's adaptability to various teams is breathtaking.

When he was in Hamburg, it took him two years to replace almost the entire Hamburg team with fresh blood, and completed the myth of the rise of the grassroots and the counterattack of the hanging silk.

And now at Chelsea, he can combine golden football with the promotion of young players, showing a beautiful football that has never been seen before.

"If there was anyone who was the best manager in world football before, it would be Carlo Ancelotti. But now it seems that Pan Yi also has such skills. ”

"Moreover, Pan Yi's 'cooking skills' are even more first-class, because it is difficult for a team to achieve the same sense of oppression as Chelsea now, even if it is Barcelona, the six-time champion of the year!"

'With Chelsea's tidal wave of high pressing, even a team like Borussia Dortmund has completely lost their way.

'Jurgen Klopp's side couldn't keep up with Chelsea's pace at all and were completely passive after barely playing against each other for a while.

'Chelsea, on the other hand, have always been able to find holes in Dortmund's defence, cutting through their defence and threatening their goal.

Dortmund's defeat also allowed Pan Yi to prove himself again, and also proved that his Chelsea team is also very competitive in the Champions League! ……”

"The Times" boasted about Pan Yi so much, also because in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea's 3-0 Dortmund match was second only to the strong dialogue between Bayern Munich and Manchester City in Group E, and it was so convincing to win at the same time.

In addition, in the direct competition between the Bundesliga and the Premier League, Bayern defeated Manchester City 1-0, so it is natural for "The Times" to move out Chelsea, which defeated the Bundesliga team.

As the British media, it is certainly unpleasant to see the Germans win against the English team and then be put out by the face!

This can't help but remind people of the dispute between the German and British media last season, but the British media regarded Pan Yi as an "enemy" at that time.

Now they are glad that this "enemy" has become a "friend" today, and they will never be ridiculed by their German counterparts again because Pan Yi has been defeating Premier League teams in the Champions League!

The other games in the first round were not shocking, such as Real Madrid's 5-1 win over Basel, Barcelona's 1-0 win over Atletico Greeks and so on.

However, Hamburg did not win in the first round of Group H, drawing 2-2 away at Shakhtar Donetsk, with Wu Lei and Son Heung-min scoring a goal each.

It's just that Ukraine's away games have always been difficult to play, and coupled with the decline in the strength of Hamburg's squad, no one thinks that such a result is an upset.

In the other Group G fixture, Roma drew 1-1 at home to Sporting de Portugal, so Chelsea finished top of the group after one round, with Borussia Dortmund at the bottom of the table.

So many media outlets are starting to think that this so-called group of death, after Chelsea played their first game, does not seem to be so worthy of the name.

Of course, in addition to the "Times" blowing Pan Yi, "Daily Mail", as one of the top sports newspapers in the UK, how can it be willing to be left behind?

They also quickly joined the ranks of blowing Pan Yi.

It's just that they have found another way, starting from Pan Yi's entry into Chelsea, to analyze why Abou chose Pan Yi to replace Mourinho and achieve his current success.

According to the Daily Mail, one of the main reasons for Mourinho's sacking was that his tougher style led to his alienation from some players, sometimes making substitutes feel neglected and no longer needed by the team.

And in this situation, it is difficult for players to know how to improve in order to win the starting position, which indirectly hinders the player's ability.

This has also created a vicious circle, the strength of the substitute players is increasingly unable to keep up with the main players, and naturally it is even less favored by Mu Shuai.

On the contrary, this is exactly Pan Yi's specialty.

He is adept at tapping into the potential of the players in the team, encouraging them to try new things and try new positions and roles on their own, so as to enrich the team's tactical play.

In doing so, many players in the team can be qualified for different positions, making the players more versatile, so that the team can have more tactical options, and the team will not be greatly weakened by injuries to players in the same position at the same time.

Judging from the four or five games since the start of the new season, even Mu Shuai's veterans Oscar, Willian, Hazard, David Luiz and others have all improved to varying degrees under Pan Yi.

In addition, Pan Yi is very willing to communicate with the players in detail, explain his football philosophy, understand their ideas, and even care about the life of the players off the field, etc., so that the new players can also integrate into the team more quickly, so he is deeply loved by the players.

These characteristics of Pan Yi are believed to be a boon to some of Chelsea's fringe players, after all, in Mourinho's system, these players are only used as substitutes, and the position is dispensable.

But with the arrival of Pan Yi, they may be able to rediscover their new position and role in the team.

In addition, Mourinho's insistence on tactics was another major reason for his dismissal.

Last season, after spending a lot of money on players and a major change in the squad, Chelsea's results did not improve significantly, and they also finished third in the Premier League.

And Mourinho has always insisted on the team's defensive counter-attacking style of play, in the case of injuries and aging of some players in the team, the lack of creativity in the midfield, so that the offensive line lacks a goal breaking point, and many times can only rely on individual breakthrough ability to open the situation, lacking beautiful coordination.

Compared with Pan Yi's current game, this kind of game will definitely be much uglier, and it will not necessarily win.

After all, such a situation is too dependent on the individual performance of the players, and once the core players are not in good shape, the team's performance will be affected, and the results will naturally be less stable.

Later, Mourinho also asked Abou to buy more and better strikers to solve the team's offensive problems in the front court by enhancing the ability of the striker, which can be regarded as laying the groundwork for Mourinho's departure.

After all, Abu will think, you spent more money and didn't get better results, why don't I use Pan Yi, who seems to be more capable?

Speaking of Pan Yi, the "Daily Mail" blew about Pan Yi's tactical adjustment ability.

Last season, Pan Yi most often used 433 in Hamburg and then changed to 343 at Chelsea this season.

But he wasn't always rigid with 433 or 343.

Pan Yi pays great attention to details, will make adjustments according to the opponent and the situation, and will not adhere to the same formation and style of play.

Even if Chelsea, which is playing smoothly now, sometimes the opponent attacks too fiercely, Pan Yi will let the wingbacks and wingers retreat, temporarily changing the formation to 541 to stabilize the defense first;

Of course, this kind of change of formation is often temporary, because Pan Yi's ultimate goal is to attack!

Once the opportunity is identified, Chelsea suddenly turn into a fierce 235, with five or eight attackers going straight into the opposition half.

This is one example of Pan Yi's willingness to regain or maintain control of the game through substitutions and tactical adjustments, which is clearly different from Mourinho's often insistence on a single formation and style of play.

Of course, Pan Yi still has his main tactical direction, that is, he likes his team to focus on ball control and control the game with clear concepts and routines.

When he first went to Germany two years ago, Hamburg was not in this style, after all, how can a relegation team afford to play such football?

But slowly, Pan Yi implemented his philosophy after buying some players, making Hamburg a team that is biased towards passing and control, and has the ability to attack quickly and counterattack.

Soon, Hamburg were organising their attack and waiting for their chances, and they played patiently like a team in the top few of the Bundesliga – and as it turned out, they ended up finishing runners-up in the Bundesliga that season.

Of course, Hamburg can't match Chelsea in terms of overall club strength.

After all, Abu is here!

The owner can put huge sums of money into Chelsea every season to bring fresh blood to the team.

So Pan Yi can display his talent more freely here.

And Pan Yi is even an expert in making players appreciate! He can transform the team and increase the value of the players at the same time.

In this way, there can always be a capital injection here, and the players that are not needed can be processed and sold at a high price, and even the sustainable development of the team's finances can be achieved, and it is possible that Abu will not need to pay for it in the future.

This is also good news for Chelsea Football Club.

After all, the boss's personal investment will sometimes come to an end, and sometimes he may stop investing due to some force majeure.

But before then, the club's operation can enter a virtuous circle, and perhaps it can remain competitive in the Premier League and Europe for a long time.

It's just that the "Daily Mail" finally mentioned that now Pan Yi can't pack a ticket and say that he can stay at Chelsea safely.

Because performance is the most important indicator of whether a coach can stay in the team!

Abu is a good boss, but he is also a boss who is very demanding of his coaches.

Imagine, if Pan Yi suffers three consecutive defeats in the next Premier League or something, will Abu put strong pressure on him?

Maybe Abu doesn't have to speak, Pan Yi himself will feel the pressure.

Don't say it's impossible to lose three in a row.

After all, although Chelsea have basically beaten their opponents in the first four rounds of the Premier League, the opponents really cannot be said to be very strong.

Burnley, Leicester City, Everton, Swansea, whatever their form, do not have a BIG6 after all.

To win the Premier League, you must have the advantage in the BIG civil war!

In the fifth and seventh rounds, Chelsea will face Manchester City and Arsenal.

These two rounds of league games will also be a key battle for Pan Yi and Chelsea to prove themselves.

They have to show their best against Manchester City, against a strong team like Arsenal, to prove their quality!

Sandwiched between these two games, there is also Aston Villa in the sixth round, and Villa is the team in second place with 3 wins and 1 draw after four rounds, and is in great form;

Therefore, if Chelsea really beat Manchester City away first, and then beat Aston Villa and Arsenal in a row, it is really not impossible to make a three-game losing streak!

Coupled with the fact that there are also League Cup and Champions League matches between these league games, with such a dense schedule, one careless person may lose the whole game.

(This is a common occurrence in the big five leagues, or the Premier League.) For example, in Pan Yi's previous life at Arsenal, Arteta started with N consecutive wins and won the Coach of the Month, and then ushered in N consecutive defeats and almost got out of class. ）

At this time, how long can Pan Yi tolerate Abu?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Abu can endure three consecutive defeats, what if he continues to lose?

Losing until you lose even your Champions League and European places?

So what Abu promised at the beginning that Pan Yi could spend more time building the team, can it really be realized?

I'm afraid that at this time, the boss's words can't be taken too seriously.

Therefore, the "Daily Mail" sprinkled Pan Yi for a long time, and finally pointed out the situation that Pan Yi and Chelsea are facing now.

Don't look at the current Premier League leader, don't look at being so horizontal in the Champions League, don't look at Chelsea's support for Pan Yi from top to bottom......

But if we lose those games, Chelsea will be nothing.

Pan Yi is even more nothing!

And where is it all going?

It starts with the next round of the Premier League, Manchester City's home game against Chelsea!
