Chelsea's academy scouting network needs to be rolled out across the globe step by step;

Including the football school set up in the Dragon Country, it also takes time to precipitate;

But Pan Yi did more than that in the youth team.

Don't forget, he's a traverser!

These larger scouting networks are so that those young players who Pan Yi did not know in his previous life, but who are likely to fail to become talented because of some obstacles on the way to growth, may be able to continue to dig out in this way.

And in Pan Yi's mind, there is a large list of children who can basically grow up in the future!

Haaland, for example.

This Majin Buu, who looks like he will eat children in the future, is still just a 14-year-old child!

He was actually born in Leeds, England, and has dual Norwegian and British citizenship, but in the end he chose to fight for Norway.

His father, Erling Haaland Sr., also played for Leeds and Manchester City as a young man, so Haaland was more supportive of both teams as a child.

In last season's League Cup final, Manchester City played against Sunderland, and Haaland, who was only 13 years old at the time, watched with his father on the spot, and they all wore a beanie hat representing Manchester City.

With the cheering of Haaland's father and son, Manchester City finally won the championship with a score of 3:1 against Sunderland thanks to goals from Yaya Toure, Nasri and Keylor Navas.

The more advantageous point for Pan Yi is that Haaland is not in the youth system of Leeds or Manchester City, otherwise it may be a little difficult to pry the wall, after all, the "children's city dream" Garman City is not bad for money.

He was in the academy of Brüne FC in his native Norway.

This is a good time for Pan Yi to start!

For the young talents that Pan Yi has a crush on, Chelsea Club will not hesitate to wave the cheque and poach everyone.

And you really have to be quick.

Don't look at Haaland is only 14 years old, but in Pan Yi's previous life, he would have been poached by the Norwegian team Molde at the age of 16, and then went to play in the Norwegian Premier League.

At the age of 18, he joined the most famous "academy base" in Europe in recent years, Austria's Red Bull Salzburg, for 5 million euros, and then performed well in the Austrian Serie A and the Champions League, ranking fourth in the European Golden Boy Award that year.

At the age of 19, his value has reached 20 million euros at this time, and he was bought by Dortmund, the more famous "star processing factory" in Europe, during which he was voted the best player of the season in the Bundesliga by fans, and won the Champions League Golden Boot and the best striker in the Champions League with 10 Champions League goals.

At the age of 21, he was bought by Manchester City for 60 million liquidated damages, and the "children's city dream" was achieved.

Everyone knows the rest of the story, the first Premier League season is only halfway played, and the number of goals is more than the goals of others who won the Golden Boot in a season......

In short, he has become the most high-profile top star after Mero and is known as one of the "new doubles".

At this time, Chelsea, as a Premier League giant and the most powerful team in world football this season, suddenly came to visit and said that Haaland would be transferred to his own academy, and the old Haaland naturally would not refuse.

And Chelsea got the other one of the "new doubles", which is a little more difficult.

After all, Mbappe is almost two years older than Haaland and is now almost 16 years old.

He began his football career in the prestigious Clerfontaine Academy in France, where Mbappe joined the Monaco youth team in 2013.

His footballing talent was clearly on the radar of then-manager Leonardo Jardin, so Mbappe made his debut in Ligue 1 next year, the 2015-2016 season, when he was not yet 17 years old.

At the same time, Mbappe made his senior debut at the age of 16 years and 347 days, surpassing the record set by Thierry Henry in 1994, becoming the youngest player in Monaco history to make his senior league debut.

After a strong performance at Monaco to help them win the Ligue 1 title and lead them to the last four of the Champions League, PSG stepped in.

The total transfer fee is a whopping 180 million euros!

This is the second most expensive in the history of football, after the 220 million euros that Paris later spent on Neymar.

In other words, to dig Mbappe at this point in time is to dig up the star of hope that everyone in Monaco knows, and it must be difficult.

It's just that at this time, the advantages of a big club like Chelsea are reflected.

If it is Hamburg, even if they have just won the Champions League once, in fact, their international prestige may not be as good as that of a French powerhouse like Monaco, who can play in the Champions League all year round.

The strength of the club as a whole, and of course the economic strength, is not necessarily stronger than Monaco.

In other words, if Pan Yi went to dig such a star of hope when he was in a hamburger, he would probably eat it behind closed doors.

But Chelsea is different.

Famous, capable, rich!

It is also far more attractive to younger players than the average team.

In addition, the team now also has a golden sign like Pan Yi.

The attraction of the head coach to the players is also not to be underestimated!

Therefore, under the soft grinding and hard bubble, Mbappe also came to the Chelsea academy.

The future "peerless new duo" gathered at Chelsea in 2014 to participate in the grand event.

Of course, in addition to these two future forward trump cards, Pan Yi, the future star in other positions, did not pull down.

After all, a team can't just have strikers!

It's just that these people are younger, and it's not difficult to dig up.

For example, Pedro Donkey, who is just over 11 years old this year, oh, it's Pedri, and he is still in the academy of the local team in the small town of Tegust on the Spanish island of Tenerife.

Another example is Gavi, who is younger than him, 10 years old this year, who is also from Spaniard, who is in the academy of Real Betis.

There is also Bellingham, also an 11-year-old Englishman who is now in the academy at Birmingham City Football Club.

Take them all!

Pan Yi even extended his tentacles to Eastern Europe.

In Croatia, 12-year-old centre-back Gvardiol in Dinamo Zagreb's youth squad was also brought to Chelsea.

Of course, there will definitely be those who will not come.

For example, Liverpool's right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the Under-16 echelon was rejected on the spot by Chelsea.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes Trent Alexander-Arnold is a rare technical full-back who may be able to play in the first team in the next year or two, although he is not yet 16 years old.

So Pan Yi could only give up.

This is where the difficulty lies in poaching the big teams.

It is precisely because Arnold is a native of Liverpool and has been carefully cultivated as a prince since he was a child, that Liverpool must attach great importance to him and want to use him as the cornerstone of the team in the future;

This is different from many small and medium-sized teams, many times to train players to grow, and in the end it is to sell for a high price.

Alexander-Arnold himself is also competitive, and at this age he already shows excellent vision and long passing skills, and even has a very strong set-piece kung fu;

He was also recruited into the England national team at all levels early, and he is a little famous in English football, and even Pan Yi is not the first person who wants to poach him and is rejected.

Coupled with the fact that Liverpool also see Chelsea as a direct competitor, how can you let you poach your own prince?

Prince-Prince Saka, including Arsenal, was dropped for the same reason.

But that's okay too.

Saka is a winger position, and there are many substitutes.

And if the right-back position, even now in the Chelsea Under-14 team, there is a good option in itself!

Maybe it's a better choice.

That's Reece James.

He is actually the same as Alexander-Arnold is to Liverpool, a native of London, who started training with Chelsea's Under-9s at the age of seven.

He may not be as good as Alexander-Arnold in passing and set-pieces, but he is better in terms of speed, defensive ability and more trustworthy.

And there is another youngster in the Under-14s who can also be used in the future: Mason Mount, who is a year older than Reece James.

He is also a good candidate for the winger position.

Although this guy is not from London, he is more exaggerated than Reece James, who joined Chelsea's academy at the age of six and has worked his way up through the ranks of Chelsea's academy at all levels.

By the way, Pan Yi also prevented a dismissal incident.

That's Declan Rice, also a London native who joined the Chelsea Academy at the age of eight.

The England midfielder, who could be worth hundreds of millions of euros in the future, is only 15 years old this year, but his recent physical growth has been slow, and he has not been able to adapt to the environment in an increasingly physical, competitive echelon.

As such, the Academy coach is ready to dissuade him from leaving Chelsea.

So, Pan Yi went to talk to the youth team coach and left him behind.

Otherwise, the future Great Britain will soon switch to the West Ham academy and then develop into a first-team mainstay two or three years later.

Therefore, Chelsea itself has a lot of youth talent.

In other words, after Abu became the owner, the youth training system has actually done a good job, and Pan Yi just added another fire to it!

And this is also to lay a more solid foundation for Chelsea's future.

Of course, Pan Yi did not forget to leave a way back for himself.

What are Haaland and Mbappe, Pan Yi has introduced them to his sister's agent company, and they are all his own people.

After several years of development, Pan Ying's agency is also very famous in European football, after all, the players they represent have all achieved success and have almost never missed!

This has also gained them a good reputation, and many players are willing to let Pan Ying's agency act as an agent to help plan the course of their careers.

It can be said that in the eyes of many players who pay attention to their own development, this agency is more reliable than the famous agents Raiola and Mendes!

And Pan Yi did this because he was afraid that if something happened in the future.

For example, when he had a falling out with the club and Abu was kicked out of England, he was able to seduce these players to a new team through a "good relationship with his agent".

Of course, as the most famous and highest-paid head coach in the world, Pan Yi actually relies on "brushing his face", and it is estimated that many players will come here.

After all, there have been too many players who have played under Pan Yi in the past few years!

How many people are, from obscurity to someone who likes it?

Coupled with the relationship between the agent, Pan Yi is nothing more than one more insurance.

——

While looking to the future, we must also base ourselves on the present.

In other words, Chelsea's current record can also greatly affect the future.

Why are there so many "children's dreams" and "children's dreams" in world football?

It is because these teams played excellent results when the players were young, which made the club more famous and more children liked it.

For example, Manchester United, before Ferguson took over, there was a twenty or thirty years of championship gap, so how can children born and raised during this period take joining Manchester United as their lifelong ambition?

And after Manchester United won more than a dozen Premier League titles and surpassed Liverpool to become England's number one giant, it will obviously increase its countless fans around the world, including children who love to play.

When these children grow up, Manchester United will extend an invitation to them again, and they will naturally agree without hesitation.

In situations where clubs compete for these players and the conditions are not too great, this childhood tendency can sometimes be a decisive factor.

Another example is Tonali, who has a "child's dream", in order to join Milan is really hard, and later when he wanted to renew the contract, he even proposed to reduce his salary to renew the contract, but fortunately, Milan was kind enough to give him a salary increase.

Therefore, what Pan Yi has to do now is to make Chelsea play better and better and become a truly well-known giant, so as to attract more children to like Chelsea and be willing to join Chelsea.

After all, in the city of London alone, Chelsea have a lot of competitors when it comes to competing for fans!

Tottenham, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Brentford, Fulham, Queens Park Rangers, Millwall, Charlton Athletic, Wimbledon, ......

Of course, Chelsea's biggest rival is Arsenal.

After all, after Arsene Wenger took over, Arsenal achieved remarkable results in the years around 2000, which also laid a solid fan base for them.

Suffice it to say, at least until 2004, the city of London was definitely Arsenal's world.

It can also be said that although the previous Chelsea and Arsenal match was also a London derby, the Arsenal people did not care too much.

After all, they themselves have more wins and fewer losses against Chelsea, and even if Chelsea win once or twice once or twice, they are still only Arsenal's foil, so there is no need to worry too much.

The only mortal enemy they care about is Tottenham in north London.

But now, the situation is completely different.

With the arrival of Abu, Chelsea have won many important trophies, while Arsenal have not won a title for nearly a decade, which has reversed the positions of the two sides.

After Pan Yi took charge this season, the world's attention was focused on the Blues, and the streets of London City were talking about Chelsea's all-win myth.

Aside from Arsenal's die-hard fans, who else cares about them being an equally unbeaten team?

Now that the seventh round of the Premier League is about to usher in the biggest matchup between Chelsea and Arsenal, this game is certainly important.

Pan Yi is not only to prove that his team can win one by one when they meet strong teams, but more importantly, to prove that Chelsea is the real king of London!

Chelsea than Arsenal, Tottenham, Bayern (?) Even more worthy of the title of "King of London"!

And Arsenal, of course, are not to be outdone.

——

As the derby approached, tensions grew and even the air above London smelled of gunpowder.

With major media outlets and fans all over the world eagerly awaiting, the most watched London derby in history is about to kick off.

The day before the game, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger publicly stated in his pre-match press conference that Arsenal had a big advantage over the head-to-head record against Chelsea in all competitions during his time in charge.

So even when playing away from home, Arsenal are not afraid of Chelsea.

Commenting on the weekend's game, Arsene Wenger said in a high-profile manner that Arsenal were ready.

'I never care how many wins Chelsea have and it doesn't mean anything to me because no one knows what's going to happen next.

'They got off to a good start but we all know that there are a lot of teams in the history of the Premier League who started well and didn't win the title.

'We're a little bit behind in the points now, but we're confident we're coming back. And beating Chelsea was the start of our preemptive strike! ”

Not only that, but Arsene Wenger even refused to call the London duo's match a derby.

'In my mind, the game against Tottenham Hotspur is the real derby. Chelsea are just a team that has been built out of money in recent years. ”

Arsene Wenger was somewhat disparaging of Chelsea, vaguely saying that Chelsea were more of an "alien team" with no local base and naturally no qualifications for a derby rival with Arsenal.

And when asked by reporters about the two encounters between Wenger and Pan Yi more than two years ago, Wenger said:

'He was an assistant coach at the time and I don't know how much he played a role in Milan's tactics.

"But one thing I'm sure of is that we had a win against Milan and we were even, weren't we?"

"Pan Yi's tactics are indeed changing, but I can also tell you very clearly that I have studied him thoroughly."

'Tomorrow everyone will wait and see how my Arsenal beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and continue their unbeaten record! ……”

At the pre-match press conference held later, Pan Yi said with a smile that he could understand Wenger's mood at this moment.

'Arsene Wenger is a very good psychological warfare coach and his previous dispute with Jose Mourinho is a classic.

"But why does Arsene Wenger like to quarrel with Jose Mourinho? Or, even earlier, he had a lot of arguments with Sir Alex Ferguson? ”

"That's because deep down in his heart he feels that these two are his biggest rivals in the Premier League. Mr. Wenger cares about them and is not sure that he will defeat them, which is why he sometimes starts disputes and even provokes. ”

"And the teams that he thinks are not a threat, then he will not do it. On the contrary, he may also praise his opponent, saying where he played well, and so on. ”

"So I know from Mr. Wenger's statement that he is afraid of us! That's a good thing for us. ”

'Then I can think about how I can celebrate with the fans at Stamford Bridge.'

"The historical record is that Arsenal have the advantage? It didn't make sense, Chelsea didn't have Abu or me. ”

'If it had been Chelsea that I had been leading, maybe that record would have been rewritten soon......

The pre-match war of words between the two world coaches has aroused the scramble of British and European media, and even the world's media.

After Pan Yi walked out of the press conference room, he also took a long shot of the cloudless London sky that day, and then posted it to the AB station.

The title is "Let's see, what color is the sky in London?" 】

——

It's a war of words here, but Pan Yi didn't dare to be vague about the pre-game preparations over there.

Chelsea's coaching staff have gathered and analysed Arsenal's recent fixtures early on.

Especially the last round of the Premier League, the north London derby against Tottenham in the sixth round.

In this kind of game, both sides must attach great importance to it, and even if the bayonet is red, they must send the strongest lineup, and they also use their most sure tactics, and there is nothing to speak of.

"Basically, Wenger should still be used to his 4231 formation, and Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs on the back line, including goalkeeper Szczesny are all deeply trusted by him, and there should not be much change."

Assistant coach Steve Holland analyzed.

Scaloni also said:

'In the midfield role, captain Mikel Arteta is more secure, while the other man is perhaps one of Aaron Ramsey and Cazorla. Against Tottenham, they played 45 minutes each. ”

'In this game, Arsenal's attacking line sent the starters Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rosicky and Wilshere, and new signing Alexis Sanchez only came on in the second half.

'The striker was Welbeck and didn't use Podolski and Walcott. I think they'll be using that starting line-up against us as well. ”

Pan Yi waved his hand and said:

"Cazorla is actually a player who is stronger in attack than in defense, and when he played Tottenham, he actually came on the pitch and went up front and became a 4141 formation."

"And when we face us away, don't look at Arsene Wenger's tough words before the game, but in fact they don't dare to send this kind of attacking lineup. So I think it's more likely that Wilshere and Arteta, who are more balanced in attack and defence, will form a back two. ”

"And will Cazorla be on it? The same will be, but it will appear on the line of attack. Including Sanchez, the new signings he bought for 30 or 40 million will definitely not be left like this. ”

In fact, Sanchez didn't come on until 63 minutes in the second half against Tottenham, not that Wenger felt he had to come off the bench, but he wanted to save a hand for that game. And that back-of-the-road also worked, with Alexis Sanchez coming on and setting up Oxlade-Chamberlain's equaliser. ”

'So I'm guessing Arsene Wenger will be Cazorla, Rosicky and Sanchez when he hits us.

'It's not a matter of Welbeck as a striker, he's been brought in from Manchester United at a high price, he's in better physical condition than Podolski and Theo Walcott, and he's better able to play a fulcrum, which is especially important against us......

Pan Yi's analysis also made everyone in the coaching staff nod.

They just can't be as detailed and resolute as Pan Yi said!

So, Pan Yi guessed that other people's lineup was so firm, wouldn't he be afraid of being slapped in the face?

He was certainly not afraid.

He had guessed wrong before, but at that time, Pan Yi would have said that when the time comes, he will make temporary adjustments in the game and win!

"Arsenal aren't particularly tall overall, so can we do it again against Manchester City?" Steve Holland asked suddenly.

Pan Yi shook his head:

"It's a tactic that works wonders, but it can't be used too much."

"We did use long balls to bombard them when we played Manchester City, but it wasn't all over the field, was it? It was only reused at the right time, and even later changed to a ground attack. ”

"This tactic is still a little too low in terms of goal conversion rate, otherwise, the world's strong teams will just have to rush."

"But the problem is, in the current world football, there is really no team that has become a strong team by rushing and hanging, right? It's because it's a bit of luck, so it has to be used as a long-term tactic, and it's also used by some weak teams with poor skills. ”

"The question is, are we poor in technology? You ask Hazard and Oscar, and they say yes or not. ”

Everyone laughed.

Pan Yi continued:

"And back in this game, we still have to focus on the sidelines."

'When attacking, it's still about having the players aggressively stretch the width and create more one-on-one opportunities for the wide players.

"If you play hard with them in the middle, you don't necessarily have an advantage. Their Arteta, Wilshire and others are still very difficult to entangle. ”

'Mikel Arteta, in particular, is 32 years old this year, but his body hasn't slipped too much, and he's smart on the pitch and has the style of a general.

"I even suspect that if he retires as a coach soon, he may also be a Premier League title contender......

Hearing this, Scaloni coughed a few times.

Although I don't know why Pan Yi is suddenly optimistic about Arteta's prospects as a coach, but retiring as a coach on the spot, isn't it just Scaloni?

He also immediately asked Pan Yi: "However, as a good coach like Arsene Wenger, would he not have thought that our wing attack is very sharp?" Definitely defensive, right? ”

"We're not afraid of that." Pan Yi waved his hand, "Our starting lineup has been changeable, even if he has figured out the characteristics of our players, he will know who we will send on the field and what players should be used to mark the defense?" ”

Holland also smiled: "That's true. To be honest, if you hadn't told us, I wouldn't have guessed what you'd have started in the next game. ”

Pan Yi laughed, and then instructed more specific details.

At the end of the meeting, Pan Yi also pulled Scaloni aside and said to him: "By the way, there is an 18-year-old player in their team who is difficult to get the opportunity to play, you can find a chance to ask him to see if he is interested in trying on our side in the future?" ”

Scaloni frowned: "18-year-old? Isn't it amazing? ”

"Of course!" Pan Yi looked up at the sky, "That's the future king of London......"

The name of the 18-year-old is:

Gnabry.
