Pan Yi's training is different from other teams.

Chelsea's pre-match training was also extremely detailed, something that Jesse Lingard had not seen before.

It's just one word - professional!

This professionalism is reflected in all aspects of the club, from pre-match preparation, to training, to recovery, to matches, to post-match analysis.

When the average fan enjoys a football feast, all they see in their eyes is 22 people chasing a ball;

They don't know that behind all this, there may be an extremely large team helping to support it;

Because in the eyes of professional coaches and analysts, the green field is a patch of areas, lines and various triangular polygons.

That's why, like some big teams, sometimes even send seven or eight data analysts to watch a game.

It is this interplay of simplicity and complexity that reflects the unique charm of football as the number one sport in the world.

Simple, the rules of the game and the determination of victory and defeat can "instigate" the most primitive passion of the general public for competition;

And sophisticated, tactical analysis and data mining can make geeks indulge in it, like a spring breeze.

Or take Bielsa as an example, the crazy manager who made headlines when he came to coach Leeds United in the Championship.

It was just before Derby County played Leeds United in the Championship when then-Derby County boss Frank Lampard spotted someone spying on his team's training.

After calling the police, the suspect arrested by the police was confirmed to be a Leeds United staff member.

The incident caused an instant uproar in English football, and although Leeds United's official website later apologized for the incident, the FA decided to investigate.

Frank Lampard even complained that it took him 17 hours to prepare for the game, but Bielsa was 'taking advantage' by sneaking in.

When questioned by the police and questioned by Frank Lampard, Bielsa generously admitted the fact that I did it, and I often did it to study my opponents.

Then, the climax of the matter followed.

When the Argen madman suddenly decided to hold an emergency press conference, countless British media believed that Bielsa's decision would be to announce his resignation.

However, they clearly underestimated the explosive power of a "football maniac".

At the beginning of the press conference, Bielsa turned it into a "football classroom".

Bielsa, who "can't rub sand in his eyes", quickly showed Lampard how a real manager prepares for a game.

Bielsa used a PPT to show everyone how he sent "spies" to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and then how he made full use of this information to conduct a detailed analysis of his opponent.

Moreover, the Argentine "football maniac" even generously admitted that he sent "spies" to scout the training situation of all Leeds United's opponents in all the opponent's games this season!

Regarding the "spy spy" of Frank Lampard's Derby County, Bielsa said that in order to prepare for the game, he and his assistants watched all the Derby games last year, with a total of 51 games before and after.

After watching, each game will also be spent four hours on tactical and data analysis.

In other words, Bielsa has to watch more than 200 hours of footage to prepare for a match, and in some cases he watches both games together.

Through the presentation of the PPT, Bielsa listed the key points of Derby's 51 games in the past year, showed them to reporters, and allowed free questions.

When asked what the game was in column 19, Bielsa was able to name the scorers and the details of the game. Click on the link to enter, and you can see the tactical analysis made by Bielsa and his assistants.

Another reporter asked about the match between Derby County and Bristol City in the 27th column, click in, and the content is a video, including Derby County's set-pieces, player movements, and the focus on the object to be watched, Harry Wilson!

It should be emphasized that Derby's 51 games are only the tip of the iceberg of this set of "Championship Vanke Encyclopedia" PPT.

Because it's just one team in Derby, and there are 51 games!

In fact, all the match information of the Championship team, including: what position the players play, the main tactics of the team, and the core players that need to be focused on, are all in this PPT.

All kinds of data are listed one by one through formation charts, key video clips, horizontal comparison of player data, etc......

Although Bielsa's dedication to tactics and meticulous preparation for the game may be among the best even among coaches in the world, it can also be seen that winning or losing a game is definitely not as simple as it seems.

What Pan Yi did at Chelsea was actually not much worse than Bielsa, but he would not send "spies" to spy on the military.

After all, he has a system that knows all the tactics of his coaches! This in itself is the biggest "spy system".

Looking at today's European football, Pan Yi said that he is the second in the control and training of ball control and offense, and the study and restraint of the opponent's tactics, and it is estimated that no coach dares to say that he is the first.

The key thing is that Pan Yi did not lie on his own set of "spy system" and sit back and enjoy the success, but also kept making changes according to the changes of himself and his opponent.

His football philosophy and tactical concept are the same, absorbing the essence of each family, constantly summarizing and improving in practice, and gradually forming his own system, which in turn has invisibly brought about the change of current football game techniques and tactics, leading the trend.

It can be said that the current system mainly plays a reference role, but it does not play a decisive role.

After all, the skills and tactics of football games are a science, and like any discipline and craft in this world, they will go through the baptism of time and the process of continuous evolution.

Taking the basic formation as an example, it gradually evolved from the 1-2-7 in the infancy of modern football in the 19th century, and under the research and practice of football people in different eras, the number of front-court players gradually decreased, and the number of midfielders slowly piled up, until today it has become 4-4-2 or 3-4-3, 4-2-3-1 and so on.

And the ultimate implementers of these formations are the players on the field.

So how did the players finally grasp the coach's intentions? It's through training, training day in and day out.

Because Chelsea's tactical style of play is the basis for the player's ability to control the ball, in training, Pan Yi uses the tradition of Cruyff and Guardiola when they were at Barcelona, and will carry out various circle-grabbing training.

This is the more famous Rondo method.

According to Cruyff's theory, everything that happens on the football field, except for the goal, can be attributed to Rondo.

The significance of the lap grab and various small field training is actually to reduce the various scenes in the game, shorten the time of the scene to increase the intensity and tension of the players, encourage the players to play the ball more, stimulate the players to create space as much as possible, and at the same time improve the feeling of having and without the ball, and build mutual trust in the process.

In this way, when it comes to actual combat, the scene time of repeated training is extended, the space is larger, and the players can handle it more calmly.

Pan Yi then creates a unique division of the court area to train the players' positioning, and accordingly makes the players in each position more aware of the coach's technical and tactical requirements for that position.

In fact, this was also proposed by Guardiola in Pan Yi's previous life, called the "Guashi Twenty District System".

On the Chelsea training ground now, there will be a lot of horizontal and vertical lines.

Compared with the traditional three horizontal, six vertical, and eighteen sub-regions, which emphasize the use of the longitudinal space of the football field, this zoning goes a step further.

It is roughly a combination of the golden offensive area in front of the penalty area and the corresponding midfield area, and then divided into three, opening up a large area and two deep passages, so that the horizontal area has changed from three to five, obviously this system pays more attention to the width and lateral space of the court.

In the traditional division, the golden offensive zone in front of the big penalty area is undoubtedly the most important.

It can be said that whether in attack or defense, whoever occupies the dominant position in this area will occupy the initiative, and the attacking players can be divided into the wings in this area, can penetrate into the penalty area, and can directly hit the goal.

In the corresponding possession and attacking tactics, this depends on the ability and role of a single striker, whether it is a classical or modern striker.

It's just that in the current popular 4-3-3 formation among the giants, due to tactical innovation, the position of the forward midfielder has been greatly weakened, and it has been replaced by two central midfielders who are slightly further back in the left and right positions.

Including now at Chelsea, in the 3-4-3 formation used by Pan Yi, the responsibilities of the forward midfielder are also divided by two wingers and two wingbacks, and even sometimes the back row of the back and central defender will also perform part of the forward duties.

As a result, Lingard's daily training at Chelsea now means getting used to playing on both flanks, then starting to swim down the middle depending on the situation, and then playing in the midfield position that he does best.

In the process of training, Pan Yi will also stop from time to time, and then call Lingard, including Gnabry, to the side to open a small stove.

After all, for new players joining the team, especially offensive players, it takes time to fully understand and apply Pan Yi's offensive system.

'Our 3-4-3 system, if it's not a counter-attack after pressing up front, then the attack is usually from the back and the goalkeeper is involved.

Pan Yi spoke in detail:

"At this point, the three centre-backs will open up space accordingly, so that even in the face of high pressure from the opposite side, there is no local numerical disadvantage in a small area. This is certainly one of the biggest advantages of the three-centre-back system. ”

'When playing the ball from the back to the front, the midfielders will still occupy the position in the middle of the midfield, and the two wing-backs will often adduct in, enter the two halves of the back, and assist the ball at the back, which is another small four-man combination.

"And then to the front, that's where you two are. In addition to achieving breakthroughs through your own personal abilities, the main task is to often pull sides or get into the middle. ”

"The main role of the winger here is to open the gap between the opposition full-back and the centre-back, and then look forward to the opportunity to move to the middle and occupy the two halves of the front. Once you've got the ball in this area, decide whether to split the side, penetrate, cut inside or cross in 45 degrees. ”

"At this time, our center forward must also be able to drop back and get the ball between the two lines, run and play in front of the penalty area, as well as grab points and follow-up shots in the small penalty area...... Of course, that's what Lukaku and Bamford are going to do. ”

"In short, we just want to push like this, build a numerical advantage in the opponent's backfield, and form pressure."

"At this time, we should always pay attention, adhere to the principle of no more than three people horizontally and no more than two people vertically, establish a local positional advantage through reasonable use of space, and then use the player's individual ability advantage to create opportunities to threaten the defender's goal......"

Gnabry and Lingard nodded their heads as well.

Although their previous coaches were also famous Arsene Wenger and Louis van Gaal, how could they have heard such advanced theories?

It can be said that Pan Yi's unique understanding and profound attainments of skills and tactics have simply opened a new door for these two young players......

"Alright, you guys go up now and have another Rondo session with the veterans."

"When you're training, you have to think about what I'm saying and what you'd do if you were in a situation like that in a competitive match."

'It's important to remember that with me, a winger is more than just a winger. It can be a traditional winger with a low cross, an inside striker who shoots towards the ribs, a full-back who is actively involved in the defence, or a forward midfielder who can detour back to the middle! ”

'As long as you understand that and you do it in training, then you can really find your place in this Chelsea team of mine!'

After speaking, Pan Yi gently patted Gnabry and Lingard on the shoulder: "The performance of a game does not mean anything. There have been amazing performances in the history of football and then there have been more than one member in the pan, and there have been people who have had a messy debut but have been reborn. Only by being down-to-earth in training and working hard in the game can you become a real star in the end! ”

Both nodded.

They understand that the manager is pushing them on.

After scoring a hat-trick against Manchester United, praise for Gnabry also poured in like the sea, and Pan Yi, as the head coach, was of course worried about whether his disciple would lose himself because of this.

Lingard's situation is more complicated, he is a ghost, and he can both sink and be proud......

But they also understand that the coach is right, and a game really doesn't mean anything.

Sometimes it's because it's in good shape, sometimes it's because the opponent is particularly down, sometimes it's just because it's just luck......

And only by putting in the effort in training and taking every game seriously can you get rid of those unstable factors and become a really strong star who can play well in most games!

Take the current world football as an example-

How many players are called "new Messi" and "new Ronaldo" every year?

It's too many to count.

But how many of them can reach Mero's level in the end?

Zero. Not a single one.

Talent? It takes unremitting efforts to realize it to be called talent!
