At this time, there was also a dead silence in the "Sky Sports" studio.

Gary Neville sat there mournful, unable to see any expression on his face.

Obviously, his heart was dead at this moment.

Chelsea's goal after goal was like a slap in the face, slapping him in the face.

The game is not over yet, it is already 4:0!

The problem is that this time, in order to prevent his parent team from being hurt by his "open mouth", he has taken the initiative to restrain himself and did not shout at Pan Yi.

After all, even if Gary Neville is tough-mouthed, he can see the current gap between Chelsea and Manchester United in terms of strength and form.

The rankings and points are here!

Even if he felt in his heart that with the blessing of Old Trafford's home stadium, maybe Manchester United had a chance to win, he didn't dare to say anything cruel now.

However, how can this Pan Yi be so ruthless!

4:0, and this score does not seem to be the end of the story......

In this situation, even Lineker, Alan Shearer and others are silent.

After all, everyone is a professional footballer, and they know what it's like for their home team to lose, let alone a fiasco.

Carragher rubbed his face desperately with his hands, looking like he wanted to laugh but forcibly held back.

Of course he was happy when Manchester United lost!

Seeing Gary Neville deflated, he was even happier than ever.

But now the general atmosphere in the studio was oppressive, and he was too embarrassed to laugh out loud.

"Pan Yi's football is really unpredictable, and no one in the Premier League may really be able to stop him."

In the end, Lineker spoke.

After all, he is the host of this football live show, and if everyone is so silent, the effect of the show will be too poor.

Therefore, he is asked to come to play a round, and he is also asked to come to break the silence.

Hearing Lineker say this, both Alan Shearer, Carragher, and Zola nodded in agreement.

Even Gary Neville, who had been sitting there for a long time, seemed to nod his head slightly.

Although they have different views on football and tactics, and although some of them have sung and questioned Pan Yi, facts speak louder than words.

Now Pan Yi is leading Chelsea to sweep Manchester United, to win the opening nine consecutive wins, to tie the Premier League opening winning streak record, is this not convincing?

And if you delve into why Chelsea's results have been so good this season, it is clear that everyone must mention the name Pan Yi first.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Pan Yi has created a very advanced and flexible tactical system for Chelsea this season, and the Chelsea players are also very suitable for this system and have fully brought it to the field.

Let's start with "advanced".

The 343 tactic is certainly not a rare item, and today Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal used it to kill all sides.

But Pan Yi has injected a new concept into this set of tactics, and all the players seem to be in their own positions, but they don't seem to be there.

It's a rare thing to be able to get into a blur of their positional limitations and yet be able to keep running without messing around.

Alan Shearer said: 'If I can play now, I can't play in this Chelsea team. ”

You know, Alan Shearer is a legend in English football, a three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner!

But he is also the epitome of England's traditional centre-forward.

And in Pan Yi's Chelsea team, Lukaku is indeed a central striker, but he has to do much more than a traditional central striker.

He needs to be the fulcrum to fight the opponent's central defenders, and he also needs to retreat to receive passes from midfielders or defenders, and when he gets the ball, he can also send a through ball, instantly becoming a midfield commander.

When defending, he also needs to press the opponent's back at the right time, and if necessary, he will return to his own half or even the penalty area to help defend.

With so many tasks to be done well, Alan Shearer certainly knew he was not up to the task.

After all, in his time, all he had to do was get the ball in the box and shoot to score.

And this is just Pan Yi's high requirements for forwards.

From wingers, to midfielders, to centre-backs, wing-backs, and even goalkeepers, all have a new look.

It can also be said that Pan Yi's requirements for every position in this formation are currently the most advanced in the world!

He has led the way in the development of tactics in world football, which is why he has been able to deal a degrading blow to the teams in the Premier League and Champions League, and has won many games.

If the football coaches in this world can't keep up with the times and develop a tactical style that can really match Pan Yi, then Chelsea are truly invincible.

Let's talk about "flexibility".

It's the same formation, but Pan Yi can always discharge different personnel to deal with different situations.

Almost every game is a different starter, which proves Pan Yi's flexibility in arranging the lineup.

In terms of pertinence in the face of different opponents, Pan Yi is also very flexible.

In the case of today's game against Manchester United, for example, he could even use a 5-1-4 formation that is unheard of in football to crack Van Gaal's big-circle tactics!

And after the opponent changes formation, he will also use a quick and responsive method, and he can achieve the effect of suppressing the opponent again without substitution.

Chelsea's 343 formation is like a detachable machine, which can be disassembled and installed at will, and can always be turned into a sharp weapon in the end.

And if he falls behind in the game, Pan Yi will use his "70-minute substitution method" to turn things around in a short time.

This so-called "70-minute substitution method" is already a meme circulating among fans, and as soon as this is mentioned, everyone knows that they are talking about Pan Yi's magical substitution.

Even as long as the "70 minutes" is mentioned, fans will immediately think of Pan Yi, because Chelsea after 70 minutes really can't be provoked.

This is the same as mentioning "two and a half years", and everyone will think of ikun.

In fact, since Pan Yi began to coach independently, almost two and a half years have passed, and there are already fans who call themselves IPAN......

In short, whether it is no substitution or substitution, Chelsea can always have an effect, which also proves the flexibility of Pan Yi's formation.

Otherwise, there are 11 people on the field, and you can change three people at most, or if you don't make any substitutions, it will be difficult to change the tactical direction in an instant if you are not flexible.

'So, I don't think it's okay for Manchester United to lose to Chelsea.

Lineker praised Pan Yi for a while, and then patted Gary Neville on the shoulder to express comfort: "Since no one can play Chelsea, then there is nothing to be ashamed of, right?" ”

Gary Neville looked up, but he looked like he was wearing a mask of pain: "But ...... But we've lost too much......"

"That's four balls!" Lineker laughed, "Didn't Arsenal concede four goals too? Although they did score a ......"

But at this time, Carragher pointed to the screen, "Look, here they are again!" ”

——

After conceding four goals, United played even more impatiently.

Although their players showed tenacious fighting spirit in the undiscouraged shouts of the home fans, they still fought bravely.

They certainly don't want to lose so badly at home!

But the disadvantage on the scene could not be reversed for a while.

Chelsea took charge of the game anyway.

With four goals in hand, Chelsea played more steadily and calmly.

Coupled with the fact that after another 70 minutes, the fitness of the Manchester United players gradually declined, and the pressing and pressing began to weaken.

Chelsea further utilised their skilful passing system to continue to control the tempo and possession of the ball in midfield.

In the 75th minute, Van Gaal made another series of substitutions, replacing Belgian teenager Januzaj and Dutch striker Robin van Persie.

It was clear that Louis van Gaal still wanted to score, and maybe even fantasized about getting the score back.

However, in this way, United's interception ability in midfield has further declined.

While it is true that Januzaj can sometimes rely on his ability to break through to create some chances, it still seems to be of little help against a heavily defended Chelsea.

With 89 minutes played, it was Chelsea's side who had a good chance.

German winger Schurrle, who came on as a substitute, took advantage of his physical advantage to connect two people on the flanks and then passed the ball to the middle.

Nigerian midfielder Mikel, who also came on as a substitute for N'Golo Kante, stepped in the back row and stabbed the goal!

In Mikel's career, scoring goals was a rarity.

And it was with his iron tree blossoming that Chelsea finally beat Manchester United 5-0 away!

It was Chelsea's biggest win of the season and United's biggest defeat of the new century (tied with Manchester City)!

——

"It was a sad game."

In his post-match press conference, the Reds boss looked frustrated when asked by reporters about Louis van Gaal's thoughts on the game.

'We made a couple of very serious mistakes and were taken by our opponents. We should all review our performance in this game, including myself. ”

'I'll sum up the game and hopefully I can perform better the next time I go to Stamford Bridge.'

'Yes, I admit it, Chelsea played much better than us today.

Van Gaal's words came out, and the whole press conference immediately burst into discussions.

It's not easy to get the proud Dutch boss to admit that other teams are playing better than him.

A reporter asked again: "Before the game, you and Pan Yi had a war of words, saying that you would compete in tactics in this game, so who won this duel?" ”

Van Gaal glared at the reporter.

Isn't that looking for something to do?

There was nowhere to vent the anger in his stomach, so he sprayed directly:

"Your first day as a journalist?"

'I said Chelsea played better than us, and asked what tactics?'

"If it wasn't for the coach's tactics that led to the victory, what else would the football team want our coach to do? It's better to save money and pay the players. ”

"I look at you, I just want to find a big news, just want me to admit that I lost to Pan Yi tactically? Immature! ”

"I repeat, in today's game, our whole team, whether it is the players or the coach, whether it is tactics or technology, we all lost, are you satisfied?"

Then Van Gaal changed his tune:

"However, just because we lost today doesn't mean we'll lose in the future. We are Manchester United and temporary defeat will not stop us. ”

'As I said earlier, we will play better against Chelsea for the second time. It's an expectation and a challenge! ”

"So Pan Yi and his Chelsea shouldn't be too happy. Sooner or later, I'll come for revenge! ”

These words made the atmosphere at the press conference hot.

Admitting defeat or something is the most boring, the most interesting and topical thing is, of course, the competition between the two sides!

From this point of view, the next battle between the two sides is interesting again!

And when Pan Yi started his press conference and the reporter relayed Van Gaal's words to him, Pan Yi smiled and said:

"I'm very grateful to coach Louis van Gaal for his affirmation of me, and in fact, my 343 formation is also a part of his previous tactics, so I would like to thank him for that."

"I believe he can also see some familiar shadows in it, so he is so confident that he can perform better in the next matchup."

"But unfortunately, he may be disappointed again. Because my tactics are not copied from him, and there is no way to copy the tactics themselves. Let's just put it this way, he's going to have to spend a little more time researching. ”

"And this big win not only gave us the win and the three points, but also gave all our players a stronger sense of confidence."

'We can beat Manchester City, we can beat Arsenal or we can beat Manchester United by five goals away from home, which means we can beat any team in the world!'

"So I still have to thank coach Louis van Gaal for giving us so much confidence in this team!"

The reporters laughed.

The two of them fought before the game, and after the game, they praised each other twice and continued to tear each other up.

Of course, the reporters also agree with what Pan Yi said.

The confidence of a team is of course important.

Especially in the competition between the big teams, it is easier to gain confidence.

After such a big away win, it is conceivable that the whole Chelsea must be bursting with confidence!

Then, some people can't help but have questions similar to Lineker's on the show:

"Who else can stop Pan Yi now, stop Chelsea?"

——

"Who else can stop Pan Yi now, stop Chelsea?"

This is not only a question for journalists, but also a common topic for all fans around the world.

Chelsea have been too strong so far.

Nine consecutive wins in the Premier League, three consecutive wins in the Champions League, plus a League Cup in between, a total of thirteen consecutive wins!

This also includes BIG6 members such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United, as well as continental powerhouses such as Borussia Dortmund and Roma.

Especially the Premier League.

The Daily Mail mentioned: "Is it possible that after only nine rounds of games, this season's Premier League title will be out of suspense?" ”

After all, the results of the Champions League group stage do not count much, and entering the knockout stage after qualifying from the group is the key, and the points in the group stage are useless.

But the Premier League is different.

Chelsea are soaring through the table, and if there is no one to stop them, it will really be too late!

Compared with Chelsea's momentum, the performance of the Premier League powerhouses is taking turns to collapse, and it is difficult to pose a threat to it.

In the ninth round of the English Premier League just past, West Ham United, which has performed exceptionally well this season, defeated Manchester City 2:1 at home!

It also puts them level on points with Manchester City, who are only fourth on goal difference.

Liverpool also failed to win, drawing 0-0 at home to underdogs Hull City.

Tottenham also lost, losing 1-2 at home to Newcastle United.

Only Arsenal beat Swansea 2-0 on the road.

On the contrary, Southampton, who are in excellent form, won a narrow 1-0 victory against Stoke City.

As a result, after nine rounds, Chelsea are at the top of the table with 27 points from nine wins.

Southampton are second with six wins, one draw, two defeats and 19 points, but there is still an eight-point gap between them and Chelsea.

Then Manchester City and West Ham United are third and fourth respectively with 16 points;

Arsenal, Swansea and Liverpool are all on 14 points, fifth to seventh.

Manchester United have 12 points and Tottenham 11 points, ranking 8th and 11th respectively.

Given that Southampton are unlikely to be title contenders, Manchester City, who are actually at the top of the BIG6 table, are already 11 points clear of Chelsea!!

11 points, only nine rounds!

Moreover, these strong teams have failed to stop Pan Yi and his Chelsea in the first nine rounds, so how can other teams have the confidence to do so?

Of course, there are also those who say that a reversal is still possible.

"The Sun" said that in the 1995-1996 season, when it reached the 23rd round, Newcastle had 17 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses and 54 points, and Manchester United had 12 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses and 42 points.

At that time, Newcastle were 12 points ahead of Liverpool and Manchester United, which was bigger than the current difference between Chelsea and Manchester City, and the suspense of the title seemed to everyone to have long been lost.

However, Manchester United later played a wave of 10 wins and one draw in the Premier League, picking up 31 points.

Newcastle, on the other hand, started their nightmare journey at West Ham's Upton Park.

A 2-0 defeat at West Ham and a 3-3 draw at Manchester City before returning to home to Newcastle in a do-or-die defeat to Manchester United, with Eric Cantona scoring the only goal of the game.

In just 3 games, Newcastle were chased back by Manchester United with 8 points!

After avenging West Ham 3-0 at home, Newcastle have lost back-to-back away games to Arsenal and Liverpool......

At this time, Newcastle scored 64 points in 31 games, and Manchester United scored 67 points in 32 games! At this point, the overtaking has been completed.

Then, Newcastle lost to Blackburn Rovers on the road, drawing one and losing four of their five consecutive away games, trailing Manchester United by six points.

In just 8 games, Newcastle got 7 points, Manchester United got 22 points, and Newcastle went from leading by 9 points to 6 points behind!

After that, Southampton's defeat of Manchester United once rekindled Newcastle's hope, and the Magpies won three in a row, just three points away from Manchester United.

At that time, United had their last game away to Middlesbrough, with Newcastle having two games remaining.

At this time, then-Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan famously uttered the famous phrase:

'We're still fighting for the title and they don't think they could get anything so easily at Middlesbrough. I'm telling you, frankly, I'd love to see us beat him, enjoy it so much! ”

This quote was also voted the best quote of the Premier League in 20 years.

At this point, a win away to Nottingham Forest in a replay game would see Newcastle level United on points.

However, a 1-1 draw left Newcastle with only hope for a miracle in the final round.

And Manchester United didn't let such a miracle happen.

In the end, 3-0, Manchester United won the championship!

"That's football."

The Sun also goes on to say that just two years later, Manchester United are in the background.

After 20 games in the 1997/98 Premier League season, Arsenal were 13 points behind Manchester United with one game in hand, and finished sixth.

But what about the second half? Manchester United suffered a wave of 4 points from 5 rounds and another wave of 9 points from 7 rounds.

Arsenal won 5 wins and 3 draws, chasing the second place in the standings, and then another wave of 10 consecutive wins, after beating Everton 4-0, Arsenal won the championship two rounds in advance!

"The lessons of Newcastle and Manchester United tell us that even if you have a double-digit lead, celebrate after 35 rounds."

"Until then, anything is possible!"

'So to say that Chelsea are already champions? You're still underestimating the difficulty of the Premier League! ”

For this rare professional analysis of "The Sun", other media have praised it.

Many football legends have also pointed out that many teams will perform well in the first half of the season, only to plummet as they enter the winter.

Former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson also said Chelsea were indeed the best performing team in the Premier League this season, but it would be too early to say they won the title early.

'If you haven't experienced the Premier League's Christmas fixtures, you're not really playing in the Premier League.

'For every Premier League team, Christmas and the winter break are the biggest tests.

'Maybe Pan Yi is the best manager at rotation, but this is his first season in charge of the Premier League, and even a lot of Chelsea players are playing in the Premier League for the first time, so they will definitely not adapt.

'So I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea had problems after the winter break.

"Those who haven't experienced a Premier League Christmas will never understand how difficult this schedule is for Premier League teams, and how many teams will drop their chains here and lose their hopes of winning the title! ……”

The media's interpretation of this is that Ferguson Akari is talking about Chelsea, and is actually cheering up Manchester United, who have just suffered a heavy defeat.

After all, under Alex Ferguson, Manchester United are best at pulling out their efforts and starting to catch up after the Christmas schedule.

Ferguson naturally hopes that Manchester United can quickly forget about this defeat and focus on future games.

After all, morale is really important.

If the Red Devils have been immersed in such a painful defeat and cannot get out, then they may be greeted with a series of defeats.

Don't forget, Manchester United are on the verge of a Manchester derby with Manchester City in the 10th round!

This can be said to be Ferguson's good intentions in publicly releasing his remarks.

After all, Manchester United is his heart!

He doesn't want to see Manchester United losing back-to-back defeats to Chelsea and Manchester City.

Under such public opinion, the "Liverpool Echo" also made an outlook on Liverpool's home game against Chelsea in the 11th round, and finally said:

'Perhaps, Anfield will be the end of Chelsea's furious run this season?'
