'It was a disappointing game, but I admit they did a better job than us. State

In his post-match press conference, Pellegrini made no secret of his disappointment.

'We made a lot of mistakes and we were punished. Especially in the second half, they were able to create a threat almost every time they got the ball, and they took advantage of our mistakes again and again. ”

"I take responsibility for this defeat. Chelsea were very organised in attack and defence, which caused us a lot of problems. ”

'The 3-0 score was a terrible blow for us but it was a fair score and Chelsea deserved it.

"Why did you change the lineup 3-4-3 today? That's not a problem. In fact, we had the advantage in the opening stages, just ......"

"I have to say that Pan Yi's reaction was really fast, so fast that I couldn't react at all...... In other words, our initial tactics worked, but so did his response. So we lose, it's as simple as that. ”

Compared with Pellegrini's disappointment, Pan Yi, who won by three goals, seemed very happy. State

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said:

"I admit I have an element of gambling."

"Because of this kind of pseudo-central defender + pseudo-fullback play, I haven't used it in previous games, and I rarely even use it in training."

"But why can't I give it a try in the game when City can be bold enough to use a 3-4-3 that they've never used before?"

"In fact, from the start, their performance proved to be a tough game. Manchester City, as the last champions, have a near-perfect and balanced squad, and such teams often don't give much room to their opponents. ”

'They did cause us a lot of problems throughout the first half and made our attacks come back again and again. So, I thought that if I didn't use some special tricks, maybe it wouldn't be so easy to turn the tide, so I used it. ”

"I'm relieved that my players quickly understood my tactical intentions. Their performance is too good! "State

】

'Today I saw a really strong Chelsea team at Stamford Bridge, with every player performing to perfection and every line being kept very tight. The order and discipline they showed left the opponent without the slightest chance and we won the match in the end. ”

"Here, I want to tell my players and fans that as long as we keep playing like this, then any championship will be in our pocket! Including the Champions League! ”

All the media reporters at the scene clearly felt the strong confidence exuded by Pan Yi's words, and everyone could feel the confidence that winning this game brought him.

But it's clear that it's not just about beating Manchester City and getting the three points.

It's not even because of a three-goal win over Manchester City.

The main reason is that Pan Yi's change of formation is so sudden, and it is the kind of asymmetrical transposition that is a bit peculiar, which can be said to be a trick created by Pan Yi's flash of inspiration to deal with Manchester City.

However, the Chelsea players, who have been "tortured" by Pan Yi, did not show any resistance or discomfort, but successfully completed the tactical goal and achieved the desired result. State

It's more exciting than a win!

And what could be happier for a football coach than to see his players show their tactical intent as they please?

So I didn't say anything, after this game, all the players had three days off, so they could do anything!

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

Chelsea's 3-0 win over Manchester City naturally immediately sparked an exclamation in the media around the world.

The Guardian newspaper described the 3-0 score as "unbelievable" on the front page.

"This direct duel between the nominal Premier League first and second place, and at the same time the titular battle of Tianwang Mountain, no one would have imagined that it would end with such a disparity in scores." State

'What was even more unbelievable was the control that Chelsea showed throughout the game. Perhaps the gap between them is indeed not the gap between the first and second places, but the gap between 67 points and 47 points! ”

"It's a full 20-point difference, which is not a difference of one or two gears. You must know that so far this season, that is, after 23 rounds, the difference between the European zone and the relegation zone is only 20 points. ”

'In the past, we've always said that Manchester City is an atypical Premier League team. Pellegrini's side have a penchant for skill and teamwork, which has made them the Premier League's most entertaining team and one of the strongest teams in the Premier League for two or three seasons. ”

'But in this game, Chelsea showed us all what it means to be truly strong. They have better technique on their feet, more speed and impact, and more teamwork. ”

'Look at John Terry and Gary Cahill, two traditional English centre-backs who seem to have become much more nuanced in this Chelsea squad. Of course, the more notable change in them is that the players have become more diverse, and John Terry has often been at full-back in this game, and even pressed on wing-backs at times, can you believe it? ”

"We don't need to say much about Pan Yi's tactical innovation, anyone who has watched Chelsea games this season understands it. This is all not found in football textbooks! ”

"This newspaper strongly recommends that FIFA include all the games coached by Pan Yi as a reference subject, so that everyone who is interested in coaching can study hard, and it can even be used as the content of the exam!" State

"Of course, this may lead to more people not being able to get the certificate, and then complaining that the certificate is difficult to get and ...... advanced mathematics."

"So we're just a proposal here. Because if a person is required to learn Pan Yi's tactics in order to coach, it is actually sad for quantum mechanics! ”

In addition to this, the Guardian also published a post-match interview with Jesse Lingard.

Lin Huang was extremely happy that he was able to score in the game, but between words, he expressed his gratitude to head coach Pan Yi more.

'I'm very happy to score and I want to use it to repay the manager's trust in me. He was the one who brought me to Chelsea and he was the one who trusted me unconditionally even when I was under a lot of pressure and controversy. ”

"So, I want to be able to dedicate this goal to our boss! I can also assure the boss that whether it's the main player or the substitute, whether it's playing the full 90 minutes or coming on in the 90th minute, I'm going to give it my all! ”

"My celebration at the game? Yes, I usually think about some of these gadgets because it makes our fans happier. "State

'Obviously, my team-mates supported me in doing the same, so they worked well with me on the pitch. We really made it look like a band! ”

"How so...... I love this team to death! ”

At the same time, Romelu Lukaku, who contributed one pass and one shot in the game and won the best player of the match, was also interviewed.

'It was a good win and I want to dedicate the goal to our manager. He's always been supportive, he trusts me and I hope to score more goals for him. ”

"To be honest, I was a little skeptical when I heard the head tell me to drop back more to get the ball in the early days. How can a striker score when he is far away from goal? ”

"But the facts hit me hard in the face. I pulled back, but I scored more goals! ”

"I understand now. As long as everyone on the pitch tries to pass the ball to each other and fights for the team, the team will score more and more goals. And the team has more goals, and of course the number of goals as a striker will not be less! "State

"I will always be willing to play for Pan Yi! Don't let me drop back, even if it's for me to play as a defender! ”

But at the end of the interview, Lukaku cautiously added: "Don't see the newspaper about that sentence just now." After all, with the level of the leader's work, it's really possible for me to play defender one day......"

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

After this round of battles, the pattern of the Premier League is relatively clear.

The title, undoubtedly going to Chelsea, is really only a matter of time.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Southampton, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool will compete for European qualification, especially the remaining three Champions League spots in the top four.

It can also be seen here that there is a reason why big6 can be called big. State

No matter how bad they started and whatever difficulties they encountered, their overall quality will play a decisive role in reaching a certain level in the league and push them up the ladder to where they should be.

Swansea and West Han United, who performed well at the beginning of the league, have now fallen to the middle of the table and are estimated to be fighting for a Europa League spot at most.

And Southampton, which is still in the European theater, has actually shown a certain decline.

In the past round of 23, they actually lost 0:1 at home to Swansea!

It also saw them fall to fourth place after they were overtaken by Manchester United, who beat Lycester City.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are still on the same level as Southampton, both with 42 points, tied for fourth, and are about to surpass it.

In fact, this has been a norm in the Premier League for more than ten years. State

Often the top few places every year are mixed with one or two dark horses of the season in the big6, but more often, it is the big6 that completely occupies the top six positions.

There is no way, no matter how round football is, it depends on the ability of players and coaches after all.

You might be able to upset one or two games or even a little more in a league like that, but it's obviously not realistic to upset an entire season.

- Of course, the exception to the normal timeline is the 2015-2016 season of Lyicester City, and they are really dark to the end.

But it is precisely because of this that their victory can be called a miracle!

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

A week after the Chelsea vs Manchester City tie, the Premier League celebrates the 24th round of league fixtures with Aston Villa hosting the Blues Chelsea. State

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert fielded a 4-3-3 formation to take on Chelsea.

However, although Aston Villa's pressing tactics after the game, especially the forward pressure of the front three composed of Weimann, Abonlaho and Gill, caused a lot of problems for Chelsea, they only lasted half an hour in the end.

In the 31st minute, Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring for Chelsea when he received a deadly through ball from Nemanja Matic and volleyed home from inside the box.

After the rematch in the second half, Chelsea continued to make persistent efforts and took advantage of the opportunity to kick off and attack, and played a wave of climaxes.

Eden Hazard and Seat B each contributed to further extend the score to 3-0 for Chelsea.

Aston Villa then counter-attacked and posed a big threat, but Courtois did well to keep the goal intact.

In the 87th minute of the second half, Aston Villa caused chaos in the Chelsea penalty area with a corner, only for Delph to find the back of the net from close range to pull one back for the home side. State

The final score was 1:3 and the Blues won another away game!

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

Five days later, on 12 February, in the 25th round of the Premier League, Chelsea hosted Everton.

There is nothing in the game itself, but the rest of Chelsea's fixture schedule is a bit dense and it is a strong opponent.

First of all, we will challenge Arsenal away in the fifth round of the FA Cup on February 15, and then there will be more important games, in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round on February 18, away to Paris Saint-Germain!

So Pan Yi sent a semi-rotating lineup in this game after deliberation, so that he could use the best lineup and state to attack against Grand Paris.

After all, the Premier League title is basically in hand this season, and the FA Cup is optional, and the club's most important goal is the Champions League! State

In order to win the Champions League, other competitions can be put on hold.

Today's opponents, Everton, are themselves one of the teams that have caused Chelsea the most problems in the first half of the fixture.

Although it was an away game, manager Roberto Martinez's 4-2-3-1 counter-attack was once again stubborn enough to withstand Chelsea's attack.

Because his formation nominally has three attacking midfielders, but in fact, in addition to the double back Barry and Besic when defending, Naismith, Barkley, Lennon and others in front often retreat to the center circle to participate in the defense, leaving a center forward Koné roaming in front.

This kind of almost iron bucket-like defensive formation, coupled with the defensive players led by central defenders Stones and Girka, the defensive actions are relatively simple and rough, which makes Chelsea, which is dominated by young players, feel very uncomfortable, and it is difficult for the passing and control system to operate smoothly.

The stalemate lasted for 70 minutes, but the situation remained unchanged.

At this time, Robert Martinez saw that his side seemed to have a real hope of taking a point away at Stamford Bridge, and immediately called the players to increase their defensive efforts, and even the center forward Koné had to defend deeply. State

But Pan Yi obviously didn't think so.

Chelsea after 70 minutes is fully fit!

So, he quickly called Hazard, who had come back from the warm-up.

Since the young players can't handle it, let the "veterans" come!

Yes, this "veteran" is to be put in quotation marks.

Although Eden Hazard is the number one star in the current Chelsea squad, and although it may seem that he has been famous for a long time, the fact is that he was born in January 1991 and is now only 24 years old......

It's just that he is indeed old in the current team created by Pan Yi, which is mostly composed of hairy guys in their early 20s, or even less than 20 years old. State

In fact, this also includes Oscar and Schurrle, who have just left the team, and they are also "veterans" around 24 years old.

But in any case, a star like Eden Hazard does have to play to his strengths more calmly than the youngsters at critical moments.

"You don't have any special instructions today, there is only one task when you go up, and that is to break through. Keep breaking through! ”

Pan Yi commanded.

Hazard didn't understand too much and tilted his head to look at the coach.

Pan Yi pulled Hazard a step closer and pointed at Everton right-back Coleman.

"Did you see that number 23? He was aggressive, but he also made a lot of mistakes. The important thing is that he is not fast and should have a hard time keeping up with you. So when you go up, kick him on his side and push him as hard as you can. "State

Hazard understood this time.

He was also excited.

Breakthrough? Break through his favorite and best at it!

"Go ahead!" Pan Yi patted Hazard's shoulder hard, sent him on the field, and finally admonished, "It's still the same, after the breakthrough, pass when you should pass, shoot when you should shoot, don't hesitate." Simpler, the way to play the ball is simpler......"

Chelsea's substitution was a natural succession to the cheers of the Stamford Bridge crowd.

Although there is only one person, this person is Hazard! The darling of Stamford Bridge, the only king of the ball in London!

As long as he plays, there will be a king of excellent performances! State

Eden Hazard was replaced by Gnabry.

Germany's Xiao Hei started today, but his state was a little unstable, and several attempts to break through were destroyed by the opponent.

This is actually a common problem for young players.

Sometimes when you are excited, you can play as much as you want, and sometimes if you don't go well with one or two hits, the whole game will not go well.

And some young players always have a magical performance when they come off the bench, but once they start, they fall into a slump.

It takes a long time to play, not only to accumulate game experience, but also to accumulate the ability to adjust to the form in long-term games.

And now, Hazard, who already has this ability, is on the field! State

The Belgian had his first touch less than 10 seconds after coming on and Cancelo headed straight to Eden Hazard on the left-hand touchline.

Everton's right-back Seamus Coleman immediately lunged on him to give him a dismount.

Unexpectedly, Hazard picked up the incoming ball, and he turned lightly to avoid Coleman, and then accelerated to catch up.

This time, the ball from the left flank was divided, and everyone in the audience immediately let out an "oh" sound, followed by a round of applause.

This person is really beautiful, so Hazard!

Seeing such a beautiful action on the pitch will always make all the fans' blood boil.

However, Hazard chose to cross after breaking through to the bottom line this time, and the first landing point was grabbed and cleared by Everton defender John Stones. State

However, just three minutes later, Chelsea were back in the picture, still playing a cross to the left to find Eden Hazard.

After receiving the ball, Hazard rushed forward without thinking and went straight to Coleman.

The hapless Irish right-back hasn't completely recovered before he was shaken by Hazard and given it directly!

This simple, direct, brutal, and even unreasonable forced breakthrough made Everton manager Robert Martinez look like thunder on the sidelines.

He kept yelling at his players, telling them to be careful, to be careful of Hazard's breakthrough!

But how can this kind of thing that is a bit of technical crushing be solved with a little "care"?

Eden Hazard's substitution came on to completely break the situation on the pitch, and he forced breakthroughs on the left side again and again, giving Everton a lot of headaches. State

Not to mention that Coleman has struggled to support most of the game, even if it is fully charged, I am afraid it will be difficult to prevent the galloping Belgians, who can only watch the opponent break through their positions again and again.

As a result, Roberto Martinez could only fine-tune his tactics and let more players help defend in order to prevent Hazard from being rushed to the end.

However, this caused the holes in Everton's defensive formation to increase.

After all, the number of people in each team is fixed, and if there are more people in one area, the number of people in other areas will decrease.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are getting braver.

Finally, in the 85th minute, Hazard once again relied on lightning speed to force off Coleman and Stones and pass into the box.

Bamford deliberately missed at the front post, and Lingard at the back post followed up with a shot! State

Lingard has scored again!

American goalkeeper Howard was also powerless to do anything about the shot.

1 to 0!

Jesse Lingard once again staged a unique celebration, but of course, without repeating it.

This time, he really did a little dance!

It also set the entire Stamford Bridge stadium on fire.

Your Lin Huang, the King of London Dance! State

In the end, Chelsea beat Everton 1-0 thanks to Jesse Lingard's stunning goal.

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

"Great! Pan Yi is amazing! ”

In the Millennium Box at Stamford Bridge, a young Russian was dancing with excitement and shouting.

Beside him, a middle-aged Russian man was smiling and silent.

They are none other than Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and his son, 20-year-old Arkady.

'Boy, it's just 1-0 and it's just Everton, so there's nothing to be excited about. Abu said to his son with a smile. State

"But his substitution is really amazing." Arkady is obviously also one of Pan Yi's admirers, "Every time you can't break the deadlock, as long as you change people, it will have an effect!" And dad ......."

Arkadius paused for a moment and continued: "He hasn't lost in the Premier League yet!" It's nothing short of a miracle! The Premier League title is about to be ours! ”

Abu still had a shallow smile.

He certainly agreed with Arcadi.

He even believes that Pan Yi is the shrewdest investment he has made since coming to the UK and buying Chelsea.

What is the highest annual salary in the world? What is an expenditure of 20 million euros a year? What is the highest club authority given to Pan Yi?

The reward given by Pan Yi is simply worth it. State

But Abu patted Arcadi on the head lightly: "Of course we want the Premier League title, but we already had it 10 years ago. Do you remember, when you were a kid, you also watched the team win the championship from the stands? ”

"What I want more now is the Champions League! In the 2011-2012 season, we came very close to the trophy but were beaten by AC Milan. ”

"Now we all know that it was our head coach Pan Yi who played a decisive role in the tactics of that Milan team today."

"So, I'm more hopeful that he can lead Chelsea today to get that damn big ears trophy back!"

Arkadi looked up at his father: "So, aren't we going to play in the Champions League on February 18th?" The opponent is Paris Saint-Germain! ”

"Yes." Abu also looked into the arena.

At this time, Pan Yi was leading all the Chelsea players and coaches to thank the fans at Stamford Bridge. State

There were also bursts of cheers on the pitch.

"The opponent is strong." Abu stared at the high-spirited Pan Yi and said softly, "Even in their formation, there are Yin Brahimovic, Thiago Silva and others who were in Milan when they eliminated us. ”

"Yin Bu also scored a few goals for us." Arkady added.

"Yes." Abu finally said, "Now it's up to Pan Yi to help us win Paris and win the Champions League!" ”
