"Good morning, Mr. Pan Yi." When Pan Yi came to the Cobham training base, the security guard on duty at the gate greeted him warmly and opened the gate.

If there were some people who were concerned about his future when Pan Yi first came to coach at Chelsea, now the whole Chelsea club is full of admiration for him.

After all, the Premier League title and the Champions League final are real results, not to mention the record that has been broken.

Many of the staff who work at the club are Chelsea fans themselves, and seeing the team play so well, of course, they are happy from the bottom of their hearts, and they are grateful to Pan Yi for bringing it all.

Even if you're not a Chelsea fan, even if it's just a job,

"The company's performance" is booming, and the employees will have a good life. It doesn't matter if you're a security guard, a cook, a locker room manager, a stadium maintenance staff, an accountant or cashier...... If the team's performance is not good and the revenue is affected, it is possible to encounter salary cuts or even dismissals.

For example, in 2020, when everyone was having a rough time, Arsenal sacked Jerry Quiyin, who played the mascot for the club for 27 years, in order to save the team's costs.

And by taking away the team's mascot that has long been ingrained, Arsenal can only save 25,000 pounds a year, which is equivalent to 2,000 pounds a month...... For a giant club that once stood at the top of the Premier League, it was going to drive away the old buddy in order to cut out so much money, so what could not happen?

And if there is a worse event such as falling out of the Champions League zone, relegation, etc., the staff will really be in danger.

After all, the team's income has declined, the team's participation level has decreased, and many standards will be lowered accordingly, and many positions will become dispensable, or there is no need for so many people.

At that point, layoffs are inevitable. Therefore, for the security guard of this Cobham training base, Pan Yi in front of him is simply the savior of the team, how can he not be respectful?

"Good morning, Mr. Victor. Has your puppy been recovered? Pan Yi also said hello to the security guards before walking into the gate of the base.

After working here for nearly a year, Pan Yi is also very familiar with every staff member. He can call out each staff member by name, talk to everyone, and even remember some trivial things in each other's homes.

Because of this, people here are more willing to regard Pan Yi as a family member and are more willing to share their joys, sorrows and sorrows with him.

"Hehe, don't mention it, it was actually hiding in the neighbor's garage, and it was later discovered by Lucy." Security guard Victor said with a smile, and then reminded,

"By the way, Mr. Abu has arrived early, and he should be waiting for you in the office now."

"Okay, thanks." Pan Yi thanked him, but he couldn't help but muttering in his heart, the boss actually came so quickly.

Of course, the two of them had made an appointment to meet this morning, and Abu said that he had something to look for him. So Pan Yi also came to the base early, and now he hasn't even reached the time for formal training!

But now that the boss is here, let's hurry up myself. So after Pan Yi entered the door, he went straight to the training building.

As he approached, he heard the familiar sound of kicking a ball from the direction of the training ground. This suddenly slowed down Pan Yi's originally hurried pace, especially when he walked to the front of the training building, he simply stopped and watched.

A small player is practicing shooting. Judging by the balls scattered in the half, he should have been here for a while.

At a close look, this person is the king of the ball who has just won the Premier League Player of the Year, Hazard!

"Hey, this kid has really become a lot more self-disciplined." Pan Yi was secretly relieved. This is really not at all different from the Hazard in the previous life!

I actually came to practice so early.

"Phew!"

"Phew!" With a muffled sound, the balls flew towards the goal one by one. Some hit the corner of the goal, while others went wide or hit the anti-aircraft guns.

Pan Yi looked at Hazard from afar, and suddenly understood why he wanted to practice. In fact, since joining the Blues in June 2012 as the Chelsea champion of the season, Hazard has quickly become the darling of Stamford Bridge.

And he also repaid the love of the fans with his excellent performances, scoring 12 goals that season.

The following season, he scored 17 goals and provided seven assists, earning him the Chelsea Player of the Season award and the Premier League Young Player of the Year award.

And this season, Eden Hazard has also been outstanding, as evidenced by the Premier League Player of the Season award.

It's just that he became the Premier League's assist leader, but he has scored fewer goals this season. Eight league goals and four Champions League goals add up to 12, which is less than last season.

On the one hand, this is because Chelsea's attacking firepower has been very strong this season, and the firepower points are very scattered; If nothing else, substitute centre-forward Bamford has also scored 15 goals in all competitions!

Eden Hazard, on the other hand, is more of a flank in Chelsea's attacking system, attracting opposition players before moving them around, or passing directly into the box for his team-mates to shoot.

That's why Eden Hazard's assists are the best in the Premier League. But now Hazard is not satisfied.

He knows in his heart that in addition to the above two reasons, there is also a reason of his own, that is, he is really lacking in archery.

If you look at it from the perspective of an ordinary player, a dozen goals and more than 20 assists in all competitions in a season is really amazing.

But as a man aspiring to compete for the Golden Globe, that's not enough. In 2012, Messi achieved the feat of 91 goals in 69 games!

And that includes 24 assists on the books. Of course, Messi is a supernatural performance this season, and it may be difficult for even him to replicate such a miracle, and it seems that it cannot be used as a standard.

And if it's him, relatively

In the "ordinary" last season, the 2013-2014 season, Messi made 46 appearances for Barcelona in all official matches, scoring 41 goals and providing 14 assists.

In the same period, Ronaldo made 30 appearances for Real Madrid in La Liga and scored 31 goals; 11 appearances in the Champions League, scoring 17 goals; Spain made six appearances in the Copa del Rey and scored three goals.

If measured by this coordinate, Hazard is indeed far behind. The main difference here is the efficiency of the goal.

Although the ridicule of "passing people like Messi and shooting Hesky" is a little too much for Hazard, it actually makes some sense.

That is, his speed and dribbling are really top in the world, but many times it is just the last trembling.

On the pitch, it's actually very difficult to get a shot after passing people in a row, because there may be situations where the fitness cannot keep up in a short period of time.

There are also cases where the shooting is not decisive enough due to lack of decision-making ability, and they often hesitate in front of the goal and miss opportunities.

Of course, sometimes it's just because of the lack of shooting ability. That's why there are people like Adama Traore, like San Maximine, like Gervinho in the world

"Passing Deaths"...... If they can shoot and score goals smoothly after passing, then these players are all Messi, but unfortunately they are not.

What made it even more difficult for Hazard was that he failed to score in the latter rounds of the Premier League.

Especially in the two games against Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals, they did not achieve an inch. Although Chelsea still won the game with relative ease and advanced to the final, it was a bit unacceptable for the current demanding Za Ball King.

Even on some fan forums, some people questioned whether Hazard's role now is not as good as Gnabry's, or even as good as Lingard.

Could Chelsea's main winger be considered for a change? Especially in the case of facing a strong Barcelona in the final.

This also makes Hazard unable to swallow this breath! Therefore, he has been practicing shooting in recent times, just to put this on his own

Make up for the "short board"! For Pan Yi, Hazard's status in his mind has certainly not changed in the slightest.

Gnabry and Jesse Lingard are really good, but to say that they are better than Hazard now, it is definitely shrimp.

You can't say they're better than Hazard because they've scored or assisted in some games and Hazard hasn't.

And even if the statistics are calculated, Hazard's total goals and assists are far higher than theirs, which is even more untenable.

As a professional football coach, Pan Yi certainly sees more than that. Sometimes, the role of a football player is not something that excel can show.

Eden Hazard has done a lot at Chelsea to create opportunities for others and if it weren't for him drawing packs on the flanks, how could the rest of his team-mates have such comfortable shots?

Lukaku won the Premier League Golden Boot, and a lot of credit goes to Hazard. And the wing-backs, especially Marcos Alonso, if it weren't for Hazard, would he have had so many chances to get a chance to get a chance in the box?

Hazard's shot is indeed because the shot after the breakthrough is not connected well and the explosiveness is not enough, but he will also recognize this himself, so he will choose to pass the ball to others after passing more and create opportunities for others.

Doesn't this also show that he has a good mentality and is very team-minded? How could a manager not love such a player.

Of course, Pan Yi was quite happy to see Hazard want to improve his shooting. It's not in vain that the old man often encourages you to shoot with your feet on the field!

As long as he can practice his shots, Hazard will be a little closer to the goal of the Ballon d'Or!

"Hey, Eden." Pan Yi walked over and shouted through the barbed wire. In a foreign country, it is not a big problem to call a name or a surname.

If you are familiar with each other, you can call them very casually, as long as they are acceptable to each other.

Pan Yi is even more so. He was more familiar with the last names of the stars when he was a fan in his previous life, for example, when you see Kante

"Kante", but speaking his name

"Ngolo", not many people know. In this life, he is also used to calling other people's surnames, and some will call them by their first names when they are familiar.

But because Hazard also has a younger brother Solgen Hazard in the Chelsea youth team, Pan Yi is still used to calling him by his name

"Eden", lest there be confusion. At this time, Hazard hit a high-quality volley on the training ground, but it hit the crossbar and bounced back.

It made his expression look a little depressed. Hearing Pan Yi's shout, the Belgian immediately looked over and beckoned: "Boss, you're here." ”

"How long have you been cumming? Take a break. It's tiring to shoot all the time, and you can't stand it. Pan Yi suggested.

Hazard smiled: "No hurry, I have to shoot ten more times before I call it a day." Pan Yi nodded lightly. This kid probably set a fixed amount for himself every day, and he won't stop if he doesn't meet the standard.

"Well, remember to pack up the ball after practice, our training time for today is almost up."

"Understood." Hazard nodded.

"Oh, that's right," Pan Yi said to Hazard with a sudden smile,

"Practice hard and expect you to score in the Champions League final!" Hazard froze for a moment, then grinned.

He understood what Pan Yi meant, and he also knew that the head coach trusted him from the bottom of his heart. The meaning of this sentence is that Pan Yi wants him to play in the Champions League final!

And looking forward to his contributions. It was the Champions League final! He came to the Premier League from Ligue 1 and came to Chelsea, wasn't that what he is today?

After all, if you stay in Lille, it is estimated that it will be difficult to stand on the stage of the Champions League final in this life. Or rather, from his first day at Chelsea, he dreamed of reaching the Champions League final and lifting the eventual trophy.

He has even seen countless times in his dreams that he has followed Chelsea to the top of the Champions League! He also told himself countless times in his heart that he must work hard to step on that championship throne.

Moreover, it must be the protagonist himself. Seeing the head coach Pan Yi turn around and leave, Hazard suddenly had a chill in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know if he was sweating, and he wanted to cry a little.

Pan Yi understands him, and he is willing to die for Pan Yi. But he quickly turned around and continued his shooting drills.

There were ten more, and he had to finish it before everyone arrived, and he had to clean up the grounds. When the thumping sound of kicking the ball was heard again on the training ground, Pan Yi had already gone up to the second floor.

When Pan Yi saw Hazard start training again, he smiled slightly. He never doubted Hazard's determination and fighting spirit.

As he is convinced, with Hazard's natural talent and perseverance, he is not destined to be a loser.

As for whether it will become in the future

"Burger King" and

"Lying crown"? Probably not. His achievements are definitely higher than Pan Yi's previous life!

Pan Yi thought very firmly in his heart. Pan Yi thought about it as he pushed the door and walked into the head coach's office.

Sure enough, Abramovich was already waiting for him inside.

"Is there anything you want me to do? Mr. Boss? Pan Yi smiled and approached Abu. The relationship between him and Abu is not like that strict relationship between bosses and workers, so he calls Abu more casually, and Abu doesn't care.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a matter of prize money." Abu said. Chelsea had a detailed prize money system in place long before the season.

That's what a lot of clubs do, especially if they have the quality to win the title. For example, how much money to win in the Premier League, how much is the FA Cup, how much is the League Cup, and of course the Champions League.

Since Abu had already invited the head coach of the triple crown with the world's highest salary at that time, Pan Yi, he would naturally not be stingy in this regard.

League Cup winners, £1 million; FA Cup winners, £2 million; Premier League title, £5 million; Champions League winner, £10 million!

This is already a big deal in European football. Although Chelsea failed to win the League Cup and FA Cup, the lion's share of the prize money went to the Premier League and Champions League.

If you win the championship, each player will distribute these bonuses according to the time played, like some main players can get a lot of money.

And now, Abu is still talking about the prize money of the competition?

"I want to double the prize money again." Sure enough, Abu's opening was a crisp. In other words, the prize money for the Premier League title that has been won will be as high as 10 million pounds, and the Champions League winner will reach a staggering 20 million pounds!

Sure enough, a generous boss! This also shows Abu's desire to win the Champions League. What is money?

I want a championship! Seeing that Pan Yi didn't speak for a long time, Abu smiled and said, "Actually, you earned all this money for me." ”

"You didn't spend much money on me in the summer window, but you made more than 100 million ...... in the winter window."

"To win this Premier League title, here is more than 100 million pounds, plus the prize money of the Champions League, it will be close to 200 million."

"So, the bonuses that are given to the players are actually paid by you. Haha......" Hearing Abu say this, Pan Yi also laughed.

There is some truth in what is said, but this kind of official bonus is to the team's account, if the boss picks the door a little, how can he be willing to take it out and send it to the players and staff?

So, Abu is really a good boss.

"I understand, thank you boss for the rocket ......" Pan Yi nodded,

"Uh, thank you boss, I'll pass it on to all the players and staff. I'm sure they'll be overjoyed to hear the news! Abu looked at Pan Yi deeply and said earnestly: "The Champions League final, please leave it to you!" Pan Yi shook his hands vigorously and nodded, "You wait to come to the stage to receive the award!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait!" ------------ after the training in the morning, Pan Yi also met a guest from afar in the conference room - Ancelotti.

Actually, say

"Guest" is not suitable, after all, An Pang has coached Chelsea for two seasons before, and he still has many acquaintances in the club, and he is even more familiar with the facilities and roads here than Pan Yi...... This time, Pan Yi specially invited Ancelotti to come to study the common enemy - Barcelona.

Although Pan Yi defeated Barcelona in Milan a few years ago, and also studied the tactics of current Barcelona coach Luis Enrique in the systematic tutorial, after all, this is not what it used to be.

In order to suppress the play of MSN as much as possible, so as to limit Barcelona's attack, this must be done to the extreme.

Therefore, listen to the opinions and suggestions of Barcelona's old opponents and brainstorm ideas to make yourself invincible.

Besides, Ancelotti took the initiative to ask for advice, wouldn't it be too rude for Pan Yi to laugh at it?

"Let's talk about your 3-1 win over Barcelona." After sitting down, the two of them didn't say hello anymore and went straight to the point.

Pan Yi also said directly: "In that game, Real Madrid beat them in midfield control, which is actually quite surprising. ”

"Kroos, Insco, Ronaldo, Modric's 4 midfielders, completely suppressing Barcelona's iron triangle Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta."

"Since the official establishment of the Barça Iron Triangle in 2008, Real Madrid has rarely had the upper hand in the midfield dialogue, but this time, Real Madrid wantonly ravaged the Barcelona midfield."

"Can you tell me how to do it? I think it's impossible to really limit MSN, but we can limit the shells they get. "Regarding this game, of course, Pan Yi has also done research.

According to OPTA's data, Barcelona had 57.7% possession and completed 515 passes; Real Madrid had 42.3% possession and completed 362 passes.

However, the connection between Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets was basically severed by Real Madrid, and no more than 10 passes were made between any two people in the Iron Triangle, which was extremely rare in the past.

Barcelona's passing line is extremely monotonous, Alves sends the ball to Messi, Rakitic, Busquets, and Suarez the most, and the iron triangle cannot be integrated with passing and cutting, and Barcelona's attack falls into a one-man mode, with a disconnect between the front and back.

Xavi was the brains of Barca, but he was substituted after only 59 minutes in the national derby. In these 59 minutes, Xavi made 52 passes, with a success rate of 94.2%, except for accurate passes, Xavi almost did not contribute, only 1 threat to the ball, 14 forward passes 12 successes, 7 return passes, and zero passes in the sports battle, breakthroughs, and fouls.

Iniesta was substituted injured in 71 minutes, and in those 71 minutes, he made 56 successful passes in 64 attempts, including 20 successful forward passes in 24 attempts, only one dangerous pass, one successful breakaway, 0 fouls, and 13 successful 14 return passes.

Sergio Busquets played the full game, completing 53 of his 61 passes, 11 of which were 15 forward passes, 0 key passes and breakaways, and 14 return passes, 13 of which were successful.

Barcelona's iron triangle, adding up to 1 shot on goal and 0 shots on target, two threatening passes, 1 successful breakthrough, and 1 foul.

In contrast, Real Madrid's four No.10 midfielders are efficient and impactful. J Ronaldo, who was on the right, made 3 key passes, 1 successful breakthrough and 10 successful 11 return passes; On the left wing, Yonsko made one breakthrough and one foul, and only had five return passes; Luka Modric made one successful break, two fouls and only six return passes, while Kroos made two dangerous passes, one successful breakthrough and one foul and only eight return passes.

Real Madrid's four midfielders had seven shots on goal, two on target, five dangerous passes, four successful breakthroughs, and four fouls, completing Barcelona's iron triangle combination.

In terms of return passes, Barcelona made 35 times and Real Madrid's four midfielders 30 times - Barcelona only led in this statistic.

Barcelona's midfield lost control, and the athleticism of the iron triangle was not as good as before, becoming a burden to the team's attack and defense; Real Madrid's pure technical No. 4 10, fast and smooth passing coordination, large-scale interception and defense, smooth and sharp, fast and slow.

Modric's passing was 100% accurate, Kroos and Ronaldo both sent wonderful passes and assists in their national derby debuts, and in the most critical midfield, Real Madrid suppressed Barcelona, giving people the illusion that Real Madrid's midfield was as dynamic as Barcelona at its peak, while Barcelona's midfielder had almost zero presence.

Obviously, Carlo Ancelotti completely dominated Barcelona in this game, almost playing with the opponent.

And if they have the upper hand in the midfield encounter, then MSN will not be able to unleash their attacking power at all.

"I don't think you know what to do, but you still want me to talk about it." Ancelotti said with a smile, but still stood in front of the tactical board and swung up.

'The most important thing against Barcelona is, of course, the midfield. However, it is worth noting that although the current Barcelona team is still very good at possession, there are still some differences compared to the Pep Guardiola era a few years ago. ”

"Luis Enrique's team, with his own tactical imprint......"
