On January 17, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Swansea City hosted Chelsea.

Swansea, the dark horse that performed amazingly at the beginning of the season, has now slowly shown signs of decline, and has begun to lose frequently like a normal mid-to-lower team.

It's just that the current ranking of 9th place is enough to satisfy Swansea fans.

Therefore, in this "Sissy" battle, they lost to Chelsea by a big score again, and the fans had no complaints.

It's really limited!

The four-goal defeat in the first leg of the competition is equivalent to giving them a preventive shot.

Romelu Lukaku scored twice, while Loftus-Cheek, Ramires and Marcos Alonso also netted again.

The final score was 0:5, and Swansea were defeated at home.

Such a result did not make any waves after the game.

A team that can beat Manchester United 8-0, is it normal for them to have any results?

A five-goal win over a mid-table Premier League team is a routine practice.

However, a report in The Sun has attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, it's not about the game itself.

Honestly, who will go to The Sun to see what game?

It's not like I just want to watch some gossip news or something.

And this gossip news about Pan Yi is really eye-catching.

is talking about the recent period, Pan Yi often accompanies a girl to go shopping, and also buys new clothes, new shoes, daily necessities and so on.

It's just that this girl is not the star tender model everyone imagined, with long legs or something, but a-

Fat girl!

Soon, many sports news and entertainment news reported on Pan Yi's incident.

There are countless fans on the Internet who are curious, why is Pan Yi always followed by a female fat man?

Then there were further reports that this fat female man lived with Pan Yi!

This news immediately made many female fans beat their chests.

"Oh my God! My world is falling apart! Pan Yi has a girlfriend! ”

"No wonder Pan Yi Giegie doesn't like me, it turns out that he likes fat!"

"I said, I sent him my dress, but he didn't reply to me at all. I thought he liked men! ”

"Is it too late for me to start eating and gaining weight? Don't know which model of tank he prefers? ”

"Summer is coming, I will start to gain weight from now on, and I will rest until I am fat. I will binge eat meat, hold supper, and skewers, and I will attend banquets and buy snacks angrily...... I dedicate my life and body to food, and I stick to it every day until I gain weight. ”

However, later, a website released street photos of Valentina and Pan Yi, and after a detailed comparison, it was explained that this fat girl was the daughter of Juventus' current head coach Allegri!

And also dug out how Valentina ate from a slender girl to a fat one step at a time.

After the previous news mining of the connection between the two, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion:

Pan Yi never abandons Valentina, who has become a fat man, and is a real modern good man!

You must know that the current Pan Yi is a popular fried chicken in world football, a real rich and handsome representative, and the dream lover of female fans all over the world.

It is said that the daughters of some super-rich, the daughters of political dignitaries, and even members of the royal family have thrown hydrangeas to Pan Yi.

In front of these people, the daughter of the head coach of a Serie A team is really not a great identity.

Not to mention that everyone is definitely much better looking than this fat girl!

But Pan Yi has never had any scandals, but has never forgotten his original intention and patiently took care of Valentina, who has been tanked......

What kind of loyalty is this!

Under such repeated reports, Pan Yi's popularity in the world has exploded again, and he has even become popular.

Who wouldn't want to see a good fairy tale in the real world?

-----------------

"I don't want to."

Valentina sat in a small dedicated theater in Pan Yi's villa, looked at the big screen, and rejected Pan Yi's proposal.

Pan Yi wanted her to go to York City to work, help take care of some of the club's daily affairs, and also manage finances or something.

While it's reassuring to keep Jason McGill in the role of York City president, it's also necessary to gradually add some of his own people to the club.

It's not just the coaches, the players, it's the management!

After all, Valentina is also her own person.

She is also a student at the Faculty of Management and Economics of the University of Turin, Italy, where the Economics and Business Administration programs are renowned on the European continent.

Professional counterpart!

And......

can also temporarily calm down the recent "scandal" between the two.

Pan Yi doesn't like to have paparazzi behind him every day, which affects the team's preparation too much.

But what she didn't expect was that Valentina directly refused.

The reason is simple, just two.

First, although I am losing weight now and have achieved certain results, I am still too fat to go out to meet people;

The second is that he is about to leave Pan Yi when he goes to York City, and he is reluctant.

Then she continued to stare at the big screen, pinching the fat on her stomach, and watching the latest movie "Interstellar" playing on it desolately.

Why is watching a science fiction movie bleak?

She didn't do it for the father-daughter relationship in the play or anything.

is because the main character in the film, Dr. Brand played by Anne Hathaway, is so good-looking!

She is skinny like a lightning bolt that illuminates all the fat people!

Well, mainly because Valentina was also called "low-profile Anne Hathaway" in the past.

Although it is low-profile, it can be related to Anne Hathaway, which shows that it is still worth the "beauty" bus.

But what about now?

Valentina is already Jia Ling plus.

Oh, of course Valentina knows Jia Ling, because of Pan Yi.

In short, she is now looking at Anne Hathaway in the movie, and she really wants to find a piece of fat to kill herself.

"I'm telling you, I like career-minded girls." Pan Yi sighed and said to Valentina earnestly, "The girl who focuses on her career is the cutest." ”

"Really?" Valentina finally took her eyes off the screen, "If I go to York City for work, you don't care about my figure?" ”

"Uh...... How do you say it......" Pan Yi pondered the language, "To be precise, I like girls who are beautiful, have a good figure, and are ambitious." ”

"Cut." Valentina started watching movies again.

"Look at her, Dr. Brand." Pan Yi pointed to Anne Hathaway on the screen, "Good looking, good figure, and a doctor, who doesn't like to think about saving the earth all day long?" ”

"You like that?" Valentina paused the film, flattened her mouth, and looked like she wanted to ask but couldn't speak, but finally asked, "Do you like what she looks like and loves to work at the same time?" ”

Pan Yi replied directly: "I like it." ”

Valentina's face turned red all of a sudden.

Isn't this just a clear statement that he will like his own one!

After all, Anne Hathaway is underserved!

She is not yet 20 years old this year, and she has never talked about a boyfriend, and she only has Pan Yi in her head.

But Pan Yi has always been polite to her, and there are no ambiguous words and behaviors.

Today's simple "like" is enough for her to think about.

After a few seconds, Valentina took two deep breaths and suddenly shouted, "Okay, I'll go to Yorktown!" I'll do my job, I swear! ”

Then, she mustered up her courage and gave Pan Yi a fierce hug and kissed him on the face.

It's just that her strength is now greater than Pan Yi's, and she almost suffocated him......

After Pan Yi finally got rid of Valentina's throat locking skills, he couldn't help but re-examine his proposal to let her work in York City.

It feels like it's too condescending.

Is it more suitable for her to practice diamond legs and iron head skills, and then develop the career of Italian women's football?

Kung Fu plus football, it's definitely a headdrop!

Belch...... It seems that it is not bad to practice iron mountain?

It's just that you may have to consider practicing basketball, plus singing, dancing, and rap, it will definitely be popular!

-----------------

On 24 January, Chelsea will face an away game in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Their opponents are Bournemouth from the Championship.

As far as the team itself is concerned, it is actually lackluster, and there are no stars worth mentioning in the whole team.

But their head coach is a man with a more legendary experience, although not too famous, but he can be said to be one of the top coaches in the world - Eddie Howe.

He spent a full decade at Bournemouth and is one of the best of the UK's new generation of homegrown coaches, and Eddie Howe's name has always been mentioned in the last few years when a big club in the Premier League has changed managers.

Later, he finally left Bournemouth and joined a quasi-giant, that is, Newcastle after the Saudi consortium took over.

In fact, he is the first signing of the Saudi consortium after entering Newcastle.

There, he didn't wave cheques everywhere to buy people, but played well with a very pragmatic line-up and was in the race for a Champions League place with the big6.

So, why is he favored by so many teams?

It's because of what he did at Bournemouth.

Let's put it this way, if in the Football Manager FM game, you are given a fourth-tier League Two weaker team that has been in financial trouble for many years, and is deep in the quagmire of relegation, and it is still 10 points away from going ashore, plus a two-year transfer ban that makes you unable to buy people.

Given ten years, where can you take this team?

Can you successfully take it to the top flight and establish yourself in the Premier League?

If you're not a veteran player, you shouldn't necessarily be able to do this if you don't use some strategies and gods.

However, in reality, there are people who actually do it.

The result of this 10-year journey of wonder is none other than Eddie Howe, one of the UK's new generation of homegrown coaches, and his Bournemouth team, the Cherry Army.

Eddie Howe, who was born in 1977 and plays as a defender, can be said to have had an unremarkable career as a professional footballer.

He has spent much of his career at Bournemouth, having been named to England's Under-21 squad and playing in the Toulon Cup, but has never played in the top flight.

However, he is a favourite among Bournemouth fans.

When he was brought to Championship side Portsmouth by the old Redknapp only to be reimbursed for the season due to a serious injury, Bournemouth fans actually bought him back when the club's financial situation was struggling!

The act of raising 21,000 pounds also created a new term "Eddie shares".

This also made Eddie Howe full of feelings for Bournemouth.

And at this time, who would have thought that this child would one day become the hero of the whole city of Bournemouth!

Founded in 1899, the Cherry Legion is located in Bournemouth, a coastal resort town in Dorsetshire, south of England, with a population of less than 200,000 people.

Bournemouth's home stadium, Dean Court, is also the smallest stadium in the entire history of the Premier League era, with a capacity of just over 10,000 people, which is about the same as York City's home stadium.

After Eddie Howe retired and became Bournemouth's manager, the year in which Bournemouth were relegated to the fourth tier, Bournemouth, who were relegated to the fourth tier, were sent 17 to start the game due to a series of problems such as financial disputes and the transfer of ownership of the club, and were barely allowed to remain in the league.

Until the 31-year-old Eddie Howe became a firefighting coach, they were still bottom of the table and 10 points off the relegation zone.

In one of the darkest moments in Bournemouth's history, even the most loyal Cherry fans would not have imagined that it would be a moment when a city hero was born and led his parent club on a journey of wonder and to the pinnacle of history.

Eddie Howe first led the almost desperate Cherry Army to escape from relegation in the 08-09 season.

Immediately after the continuation of the transfer ban in the 09-10 season, when he could not buy people, he led the team to two rounds of promotion in advance and returned to League One!

After a brief absence from Bournemouth in the 12/13 season, Eddie Howe reversed the team's early slump and led them to promotion to the Championship.

After establishing himself in the Championship in the 13-14 season, Eddie Howe led Bournemouth to another miracle in the 14-15 season, eventually winning the Championship title that season, thus promoting to the top flight of English football for the first time in the club's history after 116 years!

Of course, at this point in the current timeline, Bournemouth haven't been upgraded, but it's pretty much there.

In the current 2014-2015 season, the Championship has now played 27 rounds, and it is Bournemouth that temporarily ranks first in the standings!

In this way, the fairy tale that sounds like only a football manager game can only happen has come true in reality, and the Cherry Army, which was once close to bankruptcy, has been promoted to three levels in six years! Broke into the Premier League!

And just when everyone thought it was just a flash in the pan, in the blink of an eye, Eddie Howe and his Bournemouth side were in the Premier League for five seasons in a row......

They have really established themselves in the Premier League.

Of course, no one can deny that the first person behind all this success is Eddie Howe.

The formation he regularly used at Bournemouth was a 4-4-2, a formation that was almost extinct in modern football.

Fans who don't watch the Cherry Army games much may think that Eddie Howe, like his old-school predecessors in the UK, likes to fix a set of formations to play, arrange long passes, rush and hang, high and high, plus 45-degree bombing, as a weak side against strong teams, just shrink the defense and focus on counterattacks.

But in fact, Bournemouth, as a mid-to-lower team, under the leadership of Eddie Howe, has shown a lot of flexibility in formation, and in terms of pertinence in the face of different teams' playing styles.

Even in the face of strong opponents, they dare to take the ball, dare to press high, and also have the distinctive characteristics of the team's unity and tactical change of mobility.

So if you look closely at Bournemouth's game, you will often see different starting formations, 442, 4141, 433, 4231, 343, 541 and so on.

In fact, Eddie Howe is the kind of coach who pays a lot of attention to detail on the training ground.

Some coaches will feel that some basic skills and tactics, including some basic skills, should be taught by youth team coaches and trained in the echelon.

But Eddie Howe is the kind of hands-on, hands-on head coach who likes one-on-one coaching, instilling his own tactical philosophy in his players, correcting some minor mistakes of his players, and demanding his players from the top down according to his own system.

- From this point of view, it is even stronger than Pan Yi.

After all, Pan Yi is not a professional player, and if he wants to go down in person, it will be too difficult for Coach Pan Da.

Eddie Howe usually speaks calmly and elegantly at press conferences or interviews, but when he shouts on the training ground, he is passionate and enthusiastic.

Complementing Eddie Howe's coaching philosophy is Bournemouth's recruitment strategy.

This is actually similar to Pep Guardiola's buying strategy, which is very clear to buy people according to the tactical system of the team's manager.

At the same time, as a small club on a budget, Bournemouth tend to buy players who are hungry and want to take the next step in their careers.

Looking back, this also has something to do with Eddie Howe's own experience as a player, debuting in the lower leagues, working his way up, hoping to become a top player, although it didn't materialize due to injury.

In the past few years, for example, Eddie Howe's Karen Wilson and Lewis Cook were bought from the lower leagues, and under Eddie Howe's tutelage, they have made great progress in their respective careers, and have been selected for the national team and even become a regular for the national team.

Interestingly, Bournemouth, led by Eddie Howe, has a reputation as the "nemesis of the Blues".

After they were promoted to the Premier League, the first five meetings with Chelsea were actually 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, occupying the absolute upper hand.

Considering that Chelsea basically used a three-back system at that time, especially in the Conte era, which used a 3-4-3 formation that was very close to Pan Yi's Chelsea, Pan Yi was still a little afraid of this Bournemouth.

Therefore, Pan Yi still conducted a detailed study of Eddie Howe's tactical system.

Often facing such an opponent, it is easier for the team to have paralyzing thoughts, so that the gutter overturns.

Although Pan Yi doesn't attach so much importance to the FA Cup, it doesn't mean that he just gives up casually.

Take every game seriously so that even if you do lose in the end, you can have a clear conscience!
