At the end of the first half, neither side was able to score again, and the score was temporarily fixed at 1-2.

Home team Southampton 1, away Chelsea 2.

'Chelsea played very smart, and of course it's because Pan Yi is smart. The commentator was once again routinely praising Chelsea:

"Let's not talk about their two goals, especially the second goal, it is obvious that Pan Yi once again seized the loophole inserted by the Southampton full-back, and then carried out a trap and a key attack."

"Let's just say that after they took a 2-1 lead, Pan Yi immediately asked the team to change their tactics and suddenly went all out to strengthen the scramble, which made Southampton, who played a good game in the small half, very uncomfortable all of a sudden, and it became very difficult to advance."

'In the second half of the first half, although Chelsea couldn't score again, the situation on the pitch had been turned back and the momentum prevailed. Suffice it to say, Southampton's home advantage was gone by then. ”

"In my opinion, Pan Yi is currently the best coach in the current active coach to be good at on-the-spot scheduling and adjustment, and there is no one. Whether it's playing for a team like BIG6 or a team like Southampton, he's very knowledgeable. ”

"His command gives the impression that he's been coaching for 100 years...... There is no tactic he doesn't understand, and there's no tactic he can't crack. ”

"But the problem is, he's really only 28 years old! Seeing his performance, I really have to admit that there are real geniuses in this world......"

In the live footage, Southampton's players are rapidly exiting.

Despite being down by one goal against Chelsea, it was not an unacceptable result;

But the problem is that they have been tied and now they are ahead, and this psychological gap will of course make Southampton uncomfortable.

And the point is, after being led again by Chelsea, Southampton felt that suppressed taste on the pitch again.

And if you have been suppressed by Chelsea, the consequences can be imagined.

Such a thought has always weighed on the hearts of Southampton players, how to make them happy?

Chelsea players, on the other hand, left with a smile on their part.

Pan Yi waited on the sidelines, and he high-fived every player who left the field.

When he saw Xu Erle, Pan Yi also gave him a hug.

However, since his transfer was confirmed a long time ago, Pan Yi also talked to Schurrle, so he just let him into the player tunnel with a hug.

And when Oscar walked off the field, Pan Yi specially praised him:

"Well done!"

Not only that, but the two of them also walked at the end of everyone, chatting as they walked.

Of course, it is mainly Pan Yi who is saying and Oscar is listening.

Pan Yi said softly: "Do you think it's a little strange that you applied for a transfer, but I haven't talked to you?" ”

Oscar nodded slightly.

"Because I respect your choice. You have a reason to leave, and I can understand that. Pan Yi said, "So, although I don't really want you to leave, I can understand why you made such a choice." ”

Oscar nodded again, and his eyes were already full of gratitude when he looked at Pan Yi.

Then, after a long silence, he finally spoke: "You didn't talk to me, I thought you were angry, and I probably won't get the chance to say goodbye to the Chelsea fans today." ”

"Haha, then you still don't know me too well." Pan Yi smiled, "You still receive Chelsea's salary." As long as you're a Chelsea player, I'm going to use you as much as I can to drain your value! ”

Oscar laughed too.

Pan Yi patted Oscar on the shoulder again: "You are a very good player, and you are also very hard working and professional, I am very happy to have coached you." You showed you how good you were with your goal today. Later, when you go to the Dragon Kingdom, although the intensity of the game has decreased, you can't lower your requirements for yourself. ”

Oscar pursed his lips: "Boss, you are also from the Dragon Country, do you have any suggestions for me to play football in SIPG?" ”

"It's nothing, just play football well and make money well." Pan Yi thought for a while, and added: "Oh, there are still suggestions, that is, don't usually mix with those high-level executives, especially Chairman Chen and the like......"

——

The second half of the game begins.

Southampton tried to equalise as soon as possible and also tried to turn the tide of the situation, launching a fierce attack from the start.

But, as they did in the closing stages of the first half, Southampton struggled to launch a truly dangerous attack in the face of Chelsea's strangling tactics in midfield.

Kante + Nemanja Matic have been doing a good job of sweeping interceptions in midfield and covering a very large area.

And if Southampton were to put more pressure on the attack, Chelsea's two wingers, Schurrle and Oscar, would even return to full-back, joining the two wing-backs in midfield.

Southampton, that's tough.

Oscar, in particular, as Chelsea's main winger today, has already scored two goals and has a particularly positive attitude today, almost like crazy.

He will always be forward when attacking, and he will follow all the way to his own half when defending.

He is thin in body, and today he is like a doping, and he can also have a direct confrontation with the physically strong players opposite.

This gave Koeman a bit of a headache on the sidelines:

"Is the Sun nonsense again? Does this Oscar look like a transfer? ”

It stands to reason that when a player submits a transfer application, it is tantamount to a showdown with the team, or even a tear in the face.

A lot of players slack off at this time, whether it's training or playing, they don't give 100 percent.

Psychologically, it's similar to you, an office worker, who is ready to change jobs to a new company, and is a little absent-minded at work.

As players, they are also afraid of injuries in training and games, which will affect the reporting to their new club.

If the team refuses to allow a player to leave, and the player wants to leave, the conflict will be exacerbated.

Some players will even boycott the game to threaten the team, in short, it is a chicken feather.

At this time, even if the coach still lets the players play, it would be good for some players with more work ethics to play at a normal level, how can there be someone like Oscar?

This is a super level of play!

This doesn't look like a transfer at all, it's just crazy after a promotion and a raise!

Coman shook his head, then nodded again.

He also thought that Pan Yi, a young coach, had a miracle.

That is, no matter what team he is in, he has a very high prestige within the team, and he has never heard of a bad relationship with a player.

Perhaps, Oscar really wants to transfer, and Pan Yi also allows him to transfer, so it is not a "troubled transfer", and there is no problem between the two.

On the contrary, it is precisely because Pan Yi did not set up any obstacles to Oscar's transfer, and now Oscar will behave so excitedly, and he will be as desperate as if he had been beaten with chicken blood!

Death for those who know it!

And the next scene seems to confirm Koeman's idea even more.

It's just that this "confirmation" is the price of another goal conceded by Southampton!

In the 58th minute, Cesar Azpilicueta crossed from the right, and Lukaku nodded in the middle and was saved by Forster.

Marcos Alonso, who was ambushed on the left, shot again, but was blocked by Alderweireld, the opposing centre-back.

But the ball was still picked up by Chelsea winger Schurrle, who did not choose to shoot this time, but crossed in front of goal.

Oscar was waiting there, and he scored a right foot stab!

He's scoring again!

He scored a hat-trick!

Oscar looked very excited after the goal, and this time he shook off all his teammates and ran straight to the sidelines.

Pan Yi stood in the coach's seat, he raised his hand, ready to high-five Oscar.

Oscar didn't want to high-five, but jumped directly, pounced on Pan Yi's body, and hugged his coach.

Pan Yi was directly knocked to the ground by this guy, and could only pat Oscar's back with both hands: "Well done, well done." Ah, all right, let me get up, my old waist......"

Oscar didn't speak, but hugged him tighter.

The coach and the substitute on the side saw it, looked at each other for a moment, and then ......

They all jumped up one after another and stacked Arhats!

"Grass! I'm really going to die, get out of here! …… Who kicked me in the ass? ”

Seeing this scene, the commentator at the scene was also excited:

"Oscar rushed to the sideline after scoring a goal and hugged Pan Yi."

"It's a really moving scene. Rumours have it that Oscar has made a transfer request and that he is leaving Chelsea, most likely to go to a team in the Dragon Country, away from the top five leagues. ”

In this case, Pan Yi still trusted him and sent him to start. And Oscar also played very hard today, and now he warmly hugged Pan Yi after scoring a goal, which is completely different from the way we are familiar with the way of making a transfer and leaving. ”

"Oscar is leaving, it's not that he has a conflict with Pan Yi, on the contrary, we can see that Oscar respects Pan Yi very much."

And Pan Yi also admires Oscar, but he is also unwilling to go against the will of the players and respect the choices of others. So if today is Oscar's last game, it will also be a touching and friendly breakup. ”

"It can be said that Pan Yi is a selfless coach. That's why he's never had a bad opinion among the players, and almost all the players he's brought with him will say he's good, even if he's no longer under him......"

Oscar's hat-trick gave Chelsea a 3-1 lead at Southampton on the road, and Koeman couldn't sit still.

He began to make substitutions.

Ireland's striker Sean Lang and England's homegrown young midfielder Ward Prowse came off the bench.

And this substitution adjustment is still effective.

In the 68th minute, 10 minutes after Southampton conceded for the third time, they were awarded a free-kick in front.

Ward-Prowse, who had just come off the bench, stood in front of the ball and kicked a wonderful arc past Courtois!

“2：3！ Southampton are only one goal behind! Ward Prowse! ”

'This young midfielder has shown a strong ability to take penalties from set-pieces in his youth years.

'Today, he took advantage of the free-kick again to pull one back for the home side!'

Pan Yi was also a little dissatisfied with the goal conceded.

Ward's free-kick was a great one, but it was mainly due to the lack of timely defence by the Chelsea players after Sean Lang came up to form a double centre-forward with Pelle.

When Sean Long got the ball in front of the penalty area, there was no player in the corresponding position to go up and press, and when he was about to shoot, Terry, who came up to make up for the defense, had no choice but to pull him down.

For this, Terry also received a yellow card and will be suspended for the next round.

The reason for this is that Chelsea are a little too relaxed after scoring three goals in a row.

Therefore, Pan Yi immediately shouted loudly on the field: "Focus on me!" Haven't had enough to eat? Whoever doesn't want to kick can go down! ”

There are praises and scoldings, this is the way of coaching.

And the players on the field suddenly shook up their spirits after hearing Pan Yizhong's shouting, and they were full of spirit!

Pan Yi looked at Ward Prowse, who had just scored a goal on the opposite side.

Anyway, this kid is actually quite good.

Free kicks and corner kicks are a must, and they can be said to be the most awesome existence in English football since Beckham.

Due to the homophonic relationship, Prowse is called "Teacher Pu" in the Dragon Kingdom, and his full name is "My Teacher Pu".

Regarding the level of free kicks of Mr. Pu, manager Pep Guardiola, who later went to Manchester City, once commented: "Ward Prowse is the best free-kick taker I have ever met. ”

Pep Guardiola's praise is not commercial hype, as Mr. Puta is the future Southampton all-time Premier League free-kick goal record holder and has the highest free-kick conversion rate in the Premier League since Opta began counting in 2003.

And now he is only 20 years old this year, and he can be regarded as a manufacturable material.

In fact, his future trajectory is also good, becoming the captain of Southampton and being selected for the England national team.

Of course, with just one set-piece kick, it would be difficult for Ward Prowse to gain a foothold in the competitive Premier League and become captain.

The first is that he is also an all-round midfielder, passing and shooting at a very high level.

Ward Prowse is accustomed to shooting from outside the box and is also adept at setting up his team-mates.

Just like David Beckham, he can often create excellent scoring opportunities for his team-mates in the penalty area, and the curvacing pass is a beautiful sight on the pitch like a long-range free-kick.

He is also excellent on the defensive end, averaging at least seven rebounds per game in a good season, and can immediately organize the team's offensive and defensive transitions.

In addition to these, he also has one of the most important characteristics, which is his running ability and physical fitness, which is also the best in the Premier League.

If you ask a football fan about the famous "Iron Man" player in the Premier League, the first thing that comes to mind is probably Frank Lampard, who once set a record of 62 appearances in a single season and 164 consecutive Premier League starts for Chelsea.

But Ward Prowse also deserves the title of "Iron Man".

In the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons, Mr. Pu played every minute of Southampton's Premier League game for two consecutive seasons, becoming the first midfielder in Premier League history to play the full 90 minutes in each round for two consecutive seasons.

How hard is it to achieve this?

This requires hard training day after day, protecting yourself from injuries, accurately grasping the scale of fouls to avoid red and yellow card suspensions, and a high degree of self-discipline in life;

The most important thing is to show iron will and faith in winning when facing the devil's schedule.

At the same time, the midfield position has certain particularities compared with the back line, and it needs to play a role in connecting the past and the future. Therefore, Mr. Pu's record is even more valuable.

The full attendance of two consecutive seasons has made Mr. Pu a well-deserved best model worker in the Premier League, and such a player is also what Pan Yi likes.

Isn't N'Golo Kante a player in the Lawn model? He is also an all-round midfielder.

It's just that there is one biggest difficulty in trying to get Ward Prowse.

That is, he is also a typical "one person, one city" player.

He began his youth career at Southampton at the age of eight, was selected by the first-tier youth team to become an important member of Southampton's first team, then made his debut at the age of 16 and captained the side at the age of 26.

After he made a name for himself with a precise set-piece, many big clubs threw olive branches at him, but he still stuck to the team.

It can be said that he belongs to the category of players in the "Loyalty 20", the same as captains like Totti and Maldini, and it is basically difficult to poach.

Even in FM games, if you want to poach him, you basically have to wait until Southampton is relegated to have a better chance.

In reality, because Southampton's record has always been okay and can be relegated, it is not yet possible to verify whether he will live with the team through the difficulties. (Maybe there will be a chance to see it after 2022-2023?) ）

"If you have time, you can contact and have a look, and if you don't come, forget it." Pan Yi thought.

The main thing is that Chelsea's midfield is not very short of people right now.

The combination of Kante + Nemanja Matic is perfect, and even if Ward-Prowse comes, he can only play as a substitute, and he may not be able to compete with Mikel, Ramirez and others at the moment.

There's also a prince Chick to train in the team!

Although Ward Prowse's set-pieces, coupled with the characteristics of running to death, do attract Pan Yi's favorite, but whether he can become a master and apprentice still depends on fate.

At this time, an exclamation on the court interrupted Pan Yi's "coveting" of Teacher Pu.

Pan Yi looked up and saw that Chelsea was launching an attack on the field.

After Pan Yi's shouting, the Chelsea players seemed to come to their senses immediately, and the entire offensive line was done in an orderly manner.

Marcos Alonso played a diagonal pass down the left and N'Golo Kante in the middle took the ball and pushed it forward.

Oscar was outside the box and he was ready to catch the ball.

Maya Yoshida rushed up to defend.

Oscar made a sideways look.

This made Maya Yoshida believe it and went sideways to intercept it.

At this moment, the Brazilian star suddenly slammed the football behind him with his heel.

The ball rolled against Maya Yoshida's feet and penetrated the Southampton defence with ease.

Lukaku receives the ball unmarked!

"It's so beautiful!"

"This is Oscar! This is the flash of inspiration for Brazilians! ”

"This pass is really imaginative!"

No one expected that Oscar, under the watchful eye of Maya Yoshida, was like having eyes behind his back, and clearly sent the ball to the unguarded Lukaku.

Alderweireld rushed to Lukaku.

Lukaku didn't give his opponent a chance to intercept from close quarters.

He got up and shot.

The ball clung to the turf and rolled past Foster, who had fallen to the ground, and into the net.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL！”

'Romelu Lukaku has scored! It was Chelsea's fourth goal of the game! ”

"Less than five minutes after Southampton pulled a goal back, they extended their lead again! Coach Pan Yi's lecture on the sidelines had an effect! ”

"It's a beautiful shot! That almost helped Chelsea seal the win! ”

"However, although this goal was scored by Lukaku, most of the credit still goes to Oscar."

"He was deeply involved in transfer rumors, and he contributed perfect statistics of three shots and one pass in today's game!"

At this time, at St Mary's in Southampton, the stands belonging to the home team fell silent on three sides, and only the smaller part of the stand, which belonged to the Chelsea fans, erupted into loud cheers.

As the commentator said, it was almost the goal that sealed the game.

Chelsea were already two goals ahead and the game went into the 70th minute.

Everyone knows that if you go into the final stages of the game, you will often lose against Chelsea players who are becoming more and more able to run.

On the pitch, the Chelsea players were celebrating wildly, while the Southampton players stood in a daze.

The goal was a huge psychological blow to the Southampton players.

They played well today and fought stubbornly, but it was very uncomfortable to be unable to stop Chelsea from scoring goals in such circumstances.

In the home team's dugout, Koeman hid his face with his hands, and the disappointment and frustration in his heart at this time are difficult to describe in words.

Southampton's unbeaten run against Chelsea is out of the question, and even a point at home is a luxury.

This made Koman's heart very bitter and uncomfortable.

Shortly after kick-off, Pan Yi made another substitution adjustment, allowing Willian and B to come on the field and replace Schurrle and Oscar.

This substitution was clearly not for tactical reasons, but for the two of them to come off the pitch to receive the cheers of the fans!

Schurrle and Oscar both walked off the pitch and applauded the Chelsea supporters' stands, who responded with loud applause.

Today, Oscar has three shots and one pass, and Schurrle also has an assist, which can be said to be a very good curtain call!

The only thing that's a bit of a shame is that the game wasn't played at Stamford Bridge and couldn't be seen by more Chelsea fans in person.

Judging from the close-up of the broadcast footage, whether it is Schurrle or Oscar, their eyes are shining with tears.

Although their time at Chelsea hasn't been very long, it's clear that they have feelings for it!

——

At the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 2-4 and Chelsea won away.

When the referee's whistle blew, the Chelsea fans in the visitors' stands erupted in frantic cheers.

On the Chelsea bench, the players also rushed onto the pitch with a shout to begin their celebrations.

"It's over!"

'Chelsea beat Southampton 4-2 away thanks to Oscar's incredible hat-trick and an assist!'

'After beating our 19th Premier League opponent this season, Chelsea's record after the half-time is an astonishing 18 wins and one draw!'

"It's the best start in Premier League history and the highest points in the half! Congratulations to Pan Yi, who has engraved his name and that of the team in the history of the Premier League! ”

'To be fair, Southampton didn't play badly today. However, Chelsea are even better! ”

"Especially Oscar, who shot all the shots today, it's a state explosion!"

Pan Yi didn't celebrate with the players, he walked towards Koeman.

Although Coman was a little uncomfortable losing, he still stretched out his hand to Pan Yi very graciously: "A wonderful game, congratulations." ”

"Our players played well." Pan Yi also modestly touched on it.

But it's also true.

Oscar's performance today can be said to be a hit!

And in terms of the strength of the two teams on paper, Chelsea is indeed above Southampton, so there is really no need to brag about Pan Yi's victory over Koeman.

In other words, it will not be easy for Koeman to take Southampton into the top four.

"If I have the chance to coach a team like Chelsea in the future, then we will have another fight!" Coman laughed.

He was obviously a little unconvinced inside.

"Okay, when you get to Barcelona, we'll compare again." Pan Yi also smiled.

“？？？” A couple of question marks popped up in Koeman's head, "Why Barca?" Or rather, how do you know I'm going to coach at Barcelona in the future? ”

Only then did Pan Yi realize that he seemed to have spoiled something, and hurriedly covered it up: "Haha, your coaching career is a lot of duplicates with your playing career, haven't you noticed?" So you're destined to go to Barcelona in the future! ”

Koeman played in the top three of the Eredivisie when he was a player, namely Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, and he did manage all three teams since he became manager, even in the same order.

If you add the Dutch national team and Barcelona that he will coach in the future, he will really follow the trajectory of the player again.

Hearing Pan Yi say this, Coman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed:

"Okay, thank you, if I come back to Barcelona as a manager one day, then I will definitely treat you to a drink! It's an honor to be able to coach a team with Messi! ”

Pan Yi nodded and stopped talking.

He said in his heart:

You can indeed coach Messi in the future, but the problem is that Messi is gone very quickly, and then you will be out of class......
