In the FA Cup match against Bournemouth, Pan Yi still made major personnel adjustments in the starting lineup.

Forwards: Gnabry, Bamford, Jesse Lingard.

Midfielders: Joao Cancelo, Loftus-Cheek, Ramirez, Yovanovic.

Defenders: Ake, Christensen, Zouma.

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

On the one hand, this is due to Pan Yi's original positioning for this season's FA Cup: strive to win, but also train newcomers;

On the other hand, it is because after this game, Chelsea will usher in the battle with Manchester City in the Premier League!

Although Chelsea's advantage in the standings is obvious now, this kind of direct confrontation between the first and the second is still very important, and Pan Yi doesn't want any accidents!

So some important players, if you can give them a rest, just rest more.

"The Chelsea formation that Pan Yi put out today is decent, and it is their most commonly used 3-4-3 formation this season, not some strange 514 stab, or four wingbacks 163, no wingbacks 3331 or something......"

"It can be said that Pan Yi's tactical arsenal is really well stocked with ammunition, and he can arrange different tactical plays according to different opponents and different player lineups."

'It's just that today, he probably thought that against an opponent like Bournemouth, he could solve the problem with conventional weapons, so we saw the familiar 3-4-3.

"Of course, today's game is also interesting. In the previous games, Lingard has appeared in the midfield position, or will swim more in the forward position during the game; ”

"And today, judging from the opening position, he should have been fixed in the right winger position. Will he be able to adapt to this position in this formation? This may be a new test for him. ”

"And we can also see that Bournemouth are still using their best 4-4-2 formation, with Eddie Howe playing a barrier of Ritchie, Suman, Arte and Pugh in midfield, and Wilson and Komogat up front.

"In today's matchup, Pan Yi is certainly a world-class coach, and Eddie Howe's experience of leading Bournemouth to successive promotions is also legendary, and his tactical skills are also quite good."

"Now, let's see what kind of tricks they will have after the opening!"

Pan Yi did not choose to attack in the opening game.

Whether it was the two wingers Gnabry and Jesse Lingard, or the wing-backs Joao Cancelo and Yoonovic, they didn't come up and pressed forward.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, played more aggressively.

They took the initiative to the cheers of the home fans, and they were a bit aggressive.

The two wing-backs, Ritchie and Pugh, were both aggressively forward, and the two strikers were constantly harassing Chelsea on the flanks, which also had a certain effect on Chelsea's wide attack.

Bournemouth created two corners less than three minutes into the game, but their corners were cleared by Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma, respectively, and there was no real threat.

However, judging from Bournemouth's opening attack, Pan Yi's steady strategy at the beginning was right.

Eddie Howe really has two brushes.

He should have seen that almost all teams now shrink back when they see Chelsea, so Chelsea should be more relaxed against a Championship side;

So Bournemouth did the opposite, attacking Chelsea twice in the opening game, maybe it would have a miracle effect.

But obviously, Pan Yi has more brushes.

He had predicted Eddie Howe's prediction!

This also made Bournemouth's early attack to no avail.

After two Bournemouth corners, however, Chelsea played to their individual strengths and launched an attack down the right.

Honey spotted an opportunity in the back-and-forth of central midfield, with Andreas Christensen delivering a long diagonal ball that went straight into the space left behind the opposition full-back.

Jesse Lingard stepped forward quickly, but his pass was unsuccessful and the ball was blocked out of bounds by returning centre-back Tim Cook.

Chelsea were awarded a throw-in from the right side of the penalty area.

Without waiting for Bournemouth's defenders to react, Lingard quickly sent a throw-in and tossed it to Loftus-Cheek, who ran over to meet him.

Loftus-Cheek didn't stop the ball and passed it straight back to Ramirez.

Ramirez was pressed by striker Wilson and passed the ball to Cancelo on the wing.

Cancelo then played a pass to Bamford, who dropped back in the middle, who touched the ball and passed it back to Lingard.

The interaction here is mostly a touch of the ball, reflecting Chelsea's simple and fast way of playing.

It's just that Bournemouth under Eddie Howe are also well-trained and their defence is well organised.

In the short time that Chelsea have been going back and forth, the entire right side of Bournemouth's penalty area has been filled with defenders, both centre-backs and wing-backs.

Lingard took the ball and was caught by the combination of central defender Cook and wing-back Daniels, so he stopped trying to rush into the box and immediately passed the ball to Gnabry who flanked him on the other side.

Gnabry turned and cut to the bottom line as soon as he stopped the ball, attracting all three of Bournemouth's defenders in unison.

But Gnabry was bold enough to keep the ball and then sent a diagonal pass through the gap between defenders and into the feet of Bamford in the box.

At this time, Lingard, who was still on the periphery of the penalty area just now, had already rushed into the penalty area from behind the defenders on the other side of Bournemouth.

Lingard's off-ball runs have been very good.

Not to mention how keen his sense of smell is, at least every opportunity, he will fight for it, and he is willing to run.

Bournemouth's centre-back Cook was between Bamford and the goal, and midfielder Ate returned to the penalty area in time to receive the ball to his right side in an attempt to cut him off from his team-mates on the periphery.

Unexpectedly, when Bamford faced Gnabry's pass, he sent the ball directly with his left foot to the periphery of the right corner of the small penalty area.

At this time, the audience saw that Lingard, who rushed into the penalty area, caught up with Bamford's wonderful pass, faced goalkeeper Borutz, and volleyed directly into the near corner with his right foot!

Boruc fell to the ground to save, but it was too late and the ball quickly drilled into the back of the net.

0：1！

“goalllllllllllllllllllllllll！

！

！

”

'Less than 10 minutes into the game, Chelsea opened the scoring!'

"It was really a great teamwork!"

'Bournemouth's defence was well organised, but Chelsea relied on the individual ability and technical skills of the players, as well as their skilful passing and receiving combinations, to penetrate the Bournemouth defence in a tight area on the right flank.

"From Lingard, to Gnabry, to Bamford, and finally to Lingard...... Chelsea's front trident played a very delicate team work, which was really exciting! ”

'It also shows that Gnabry and Jesse Lingard are two young players who have fully integrated into Chelsea's tactical system and are now playing like a fish in water.

The live broadcast camera was repeating the whole process of cooperation and scoring goals again and again, and Pan Yi, who was in the stadium, also waved his fists at the players and cheered and encouraged loudly.

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

After conceding the goal, Bournemouth's attack played even harder.

Amid the applause and encouragement of the home fans, they launched a fierce attack on Chelsea, with the wing-forwards and full-backs on both flanks being particularly active.

This is also one of the more important points of Eddie Howe's tactics, which is to use the two wings to fully support the front.

Once the attack in the middle is blocked, the wingers will not hesitate to fight all the way to the end to create free-kicks or corners before using elaborate set-pieces to find the back of the net.

In just 10 minutes, from Chelsea's goal to the 20th minute, Bournemouth did create four corners, which shows just how aggressive they are.

But the problem is that Pan Yi has carefully studied Eddie Howe's corner kick tactics before the game, whether it is the normal direct serve that rotates into the goal, or the offensive tactics of "long pass + middle outflanking", "close cover + middle outflanking" tactics, and "short pass cooperation + middle outflanking" tactics, Chelsea's side is very easy to deal with.

Even on the last occasion, Bournemouth used a corner to take a corner into the arc of the box and then midfielder Suter to volley it directly.

However, the Chelsea players were very focused, and this time the corner was deflected by Ake who stepped forward in time to block it.

After successive unsuccessful attacks, the Bournemouth players were a bit lacking in confidence.

After all, it's Chelsea!

When you're facing such a strong opponent and you can't do it with all your might, the players will inevitably wonder if they really can't break through the opponent's goal.

Moreover, their continuous strong attacks have also led to the emptiness of the defense.

In the 25th minute, Martinez quickly sent a goal kick after striker Momogat's long-range shot went straight high in a Bournemouth attack.

Cancelo tried to dribble along the left rib after receiving Christensen's pass, but just past the halfway line was tripped by opposition midfielder Ricci and the referee did not blow the whistle.

Cancelo struggled to his feet, then chased forward again, got on the ball before full-back Francis and passed it to Gnabry in front.

Gnabry was accelerating forward and caught up with Cancelo's pass in the middle of the pitch, first with a feint that deceived Francis, then suddenly smashed the ball to the right, earned a gap before Francis could react, and quickly sent a through ball with his right foot.

The ball travels in a straight line from Chelsea's left rib to the right side of the Bournemouth penalty area.

Bamford at the top of the arc first confused the Bournemouth backline with a drop-back smoke bomb, and then suddenly made a sudden stop, and then turned and rushed into the box.

Cook reacted quickly enough to stop and turn to follow at the first moment, trying to entangle Bamford, but still slightly behind.

But in the restricted area, a little bit, is often fatal.

Bamford caught up with Gnabry's pass in the penalty area and didn't stop the ball at all, shooting straight away and firing a powerful shot to the left of the goal.

Boruc was on the left and tried to seal the near corner, but he didn't expect Bamford to hit the far corner.

As a result, he could only watch as the ball drilled into the right side of the Bournemouth goal.

“goallllllllllllllllllllll！

！

！

”

"It's 0:2!"

'25 minutes, another Chelsea goal! Bamford's goal gave Chelsea a two-goal lead on the road! ”

"This ...... Could it be another massacre tonight? Chelsea don't do this once or twice. ”

"Bournemouth, the Championship side, are not conservative in the face of the Premier League giants, but have an admirable attacking spirit, but Eddie Howe seems to be paying a heavy price for it."

'They're Chelsea, after all! It's Chelsea, who are also almost invincible in the Premier League! How could they be afraid of an attack by a Championship team? Even this Chelsea team is a pure rotation ......"

After the goal, Bamford rushed out of the pitch in excitement, ran wildly, and finally slipped to his knees under the stands of his own fans.

He has really gotten better and better this season since he was promoted to the first team at Chelsea.

Although in the position of the main center forward, due to the better form of Lukaku, he has not been able to sit in the main position for a while;

But as long as he plays, he can play at a very high level and contribute to the team.

It's much better than staying in the youth team or going on loan to some of the lower leagues.

After celebrating the goal with his team-mates, when he turned to walk back, Bamford also ran to the visitors' dugout, high-fived and hugged the manager.

He is very grateful to Pan Yi!

It can be said that without Pan Yi's trust in him, he would not have played such a wonderful performance.

It is also the existence of Pan Yi that has also taught him a lot in the team.

Look at Gnabry and Jesse Lingard on the left and right, they have only been here for a long time, and they are showing a completely different competitive state from the original team!

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

Bournemouth have performed well in the Championship this season because of their excellent attacking system.

Season-to-date statistics show that Bournemouth have averaged only 62 long balls and 368 short balls per game, which is on the low side in the entire Championship.

This is a stark reflection of Bournemouth's emphasis on the ball and the penetration of short balls under Eddie Howe.

Bournemouth have scored 16 set-piece goals so far, the highest in the league.

This is also a reflection of the ingenuity and ingenuity of Eddie Howe and his coaching staff in set-piece tactics, and it can also be seen that set-pieces have become one of Bournemouth's regular weapons.

In the face of such a formidable opponent as Chelsea today, Eddie Howe, who are well versed in the back 3 system under the leadership of Pan Yi, is also taking the initiative to change.

After the opening, Bournemouth was anti-guest-oriented, and did not blindly shrink in the backfield, taking the initiative to press in the front, and the whole formation was very forward, almost one-on-one pressing.

Judging from the trend of the follow-up game, you can also feel the advantage of Bournemouth in the opening minutes, which obviously made the players on the field change psychologically, and feel that the tactics arranged by manager Eddie Howe are indeed the right way.

Bournemouth's fluidity and flexibility were evident as Chelsea moved from one side to the other at the back.

The parity between the number of players up front and the number of Chelsea defenders also allows them to shift their centre of gravity as the ball shifts, creating a constant pressure that allows Chelsea to only pass the ball through the goalkeeper or defender's big foot, increasing the turnover rate on the opposite side.

Bournemouth can also calmly infiltrate the front line and threaten Chelsea's penalty area.

The increasing number of corners illustrates this trend.

This kind of attack, even in the current Premier League, can be said to be quite good.

But sadly, Eddie Howe's side ran into Pan Yi's Chelsea.

Pan Yi's tactical system for Chelsea and the strong squad he has assembled have allowed the team to remain competitive on multiple fronts.

In the British media, splitting Chelsea into two teams has what it takes to finish in the top four.

It's not hard to see how strong Chelsea's squad is right now.

In addition, Pan Yi knows Eddie Howe well and has been prepared for various tactics, which also makes Eddie Howe lose one of his biggest advantages: "The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark."

Why are there so many upsets in knockout games like the FA Cup and League Cup?

In addition to the factors that the strong team underestimates the enemy or does not pay attention to, the lack of understanding of the opponent is also a very important reason.

You are a Premier League team, you are in the spotlight every day, the characteristics of every player, the tactical play of every game, you are under the eyes of everyone in the world.

But teams in the lower leagues will have much less exposure.

In the case of today's Bournemouth team, how many non-local fans can name the players?

Not to mention analyzing their technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, sometimes the good head coach of the lower league team will take advantage of this and play "stealing", so as to cause an upset.

But in front of Pan Yi, this trick didn't work.

He's a guy with a plug-in!

However, even after half-time with two goals down, Eddie Howe remained calm.

At the beginning of the second half, he quickly adjusted his tactics, changed the formation to 5-4-1, strengthened the interception in the middle and back, and first established himself to stabilize the defense.

Bournemouth were no longer as aggressive as they were at the start, slowing down the tempo and transitioning possession to Chelsea, taking a more secure approach themselves.

Of course, it's not like they're not attacking anymore, or they're giving up on midfield altogether.

Bournemouth, as a slightly inferior side, did not give up in midfield, but continued to press strongly, not to hold back.

Eddie Howe's 5-4-1 change of pitch was also very well executed by the players, and Bournemouth's system was completely unbroken by Chelsea and kept it very tight.

And as soon as they press or defend successfully, they will immediately counterattack.

In the 50th minute, Suman forced close to the front of the field and caused Loftus-Cheek to make a passing error, and then he and Wilson at the back of the field simply collided with the wall to catch Chelsea off guard, Wilson got a chance to shoot, but was saved sideways by the quick big Martin.

In the 67th minute, left wing-back Daniels found Wilson with a long pass from the back to form a counter-attack, Wilson and Komogat patiently sought to cooperate, and before Chelsea settled into position, they found the gap between the wing and the central defender, Komogat went straight into the box to shoot, but unfortunately missed.

In the 80th minute, Bournemouth's set-piece weapon came to survive.

This time it was another corner, but they came up with a more detailed tactic, with the two centre-backs Elfik and Cook rushing forward to dumble, Daniels on the left lying in ambush near the penalty spot, and then suddenly interspersed near the penalty spot, ready to shoot straight on goal!

Kurt Zouma saw that Daniels was thrown off the defense, and in a hurry, he pulled Daniels to the ground.

The referee's whistle blows, penalty!

Kurt Zouma was also shown a red card!

Pan Yi could only make a change of formation, allowing Cancelola to return to the right centre-back position to ensure the number of defenders, while Gnabry and Jesse Lingard both returned to the wing-back position to assist in the defense.

Striker Wilson converted the penalty, but ......

Standing in front of the Chelsea goal today is the Argentine goalkeeper who is very good at saving penalties - Big Martin!

You must know that in Pan Yi's previous life, when the 2022 World Cup was won by Argentina, the first hero everyone can think of may be Messi, but the second hero may be Da Martin.

Whether it was his performance in the penalty shootout or his last-minute save in the final, this World Cup became his masterpiece.

He also won the title of World Goalkeeper of the Year for his outstanding performance at this World Cup - the first time that an Argentine goalkeeper has won this award.

Now, when facing Wilson, Big Martin is starting to make full use of his mental tactics again.

After a while, he held the ball, and chatted with Wilson for a while, making the opponent uneasy.

In the end, it was the referee who intervened, and Big Martin "obediently" returned to the goal line.

In fact, he wasn't very quiet on the goal line, dancing with his hands and feeling like he was singing and dancing.

And his series of actions really affected Wilson.

Wilson's penalty shot was weak and weak, and he was saved by Big Martin and pressed into his arms!

The score has not been rewritten, and the score is still 0:2!

Martin raised his arms to save the penalty and his Chelsea team-mates rushed in front of him to congratulate him.

Saving the opponent's penalty at this moment was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for his teammates, especially when Kurt Zouma was sent off.

After all, if the score is pulled to 1:2 at this time, and then the opponent has one more person to fight, it is really difficult to say what the final victory will be.

The commentator also said: "Emiliano Martínez finally proved his worth today! ”

"Maybe he is not the kind of goalkeeper that Pan Yi wants the most, but he has an iron will and a strong heart! It's also important for a team! ”

'Because of Chelsea's prowess on the pitch, he rarely had the opportunity to perform as a substitute goalkeeper. But give him a chance, and he'll take it! ”

"It was important to save this penalty! He is also telling Pan Yi in this way, telling Chelsea fans that spending 2 million pounds to buy him is also a good deal! ”

】

"Here, I have to praise Pan Yi again. He only bought three young players in the winter window, but now it seems that all three players have their own characteristics and uses. ”

"Pan Yi's eyes are definitely the fiery eyes of the Monkey King of Oriental mythology! ……”

In the final ten minutes of the game, although Bournemouth were strong and wanted to take advantage of the numerical advantage to continue the attack;

But the shadow of a penalty saved has been surrounding the players, which has left them a little less energetic on the pitch.

And Chelsea's players are good at playing in the final moments of the game!

Under the rise and fall, the two sides showed a kind of balance of power on the field, which made the scene a bit deadlocked, and the game was not very good.

In the end, Chelsea managed to hold on to a two-goal advantage and beat Bournemouth away.

They also made it to the next round of the FA Cup!
