Chapter 389: Let the Bullets Fly for a While
As early as the winter of last season, Arsene Wenger showed his good opinion of Willian, hoping that Pan Yi could do the same as selling Cech, and make a rent-to-buy deal with Willian.
This is not only because William's technical characteristics still meet the requirements of the professor, but also because William is also a versatile player in the front court.
Left winger, right winger, midfielder, left midfielder, right midfielder, midfielder...... Even in the center forward position, he can play.
Now, Wenger is hungry for a midfielder, so he mentions Willian again.
Although Willian is not good at playing a purely defensive midfielder, as long as he can play as a pseudo-winger or an all-round midfielder in the midfield, it is enough to satisfy the professor.
In the 4-2-3-1 system commonly used by Wenger in recent years, the so-called double back of the "2" itself is not all purely defensive.
Just like "Death" Ramsey, he often appears in this position, can it be said that he is a pure midfielder? Apparently not.
If he can bring Willian in, maybe he can develop more styles of play in this position, and reflect Arsenal's beautiful football more vividly......
It's just that Pan Yi really hesitated when he heard Wenger say this.
This summer window, he has one less center Bamford, two midfielders Mikel and Ramirez, and now one less Willian;
And at present, the team can definitely make up for Mbappe of a youth team, and Goretzka, who is now talking, 4-2=2, this population is still lacking!
In fact, the main thing is the lack of a center forward.
Mbappe is theoretically more suitable for playing as a winger, which is just the right way to make up for the vacancy of Willian's departure, but in this case, what about a central striker?
Why don't you talk to Arsene Wenger about buying their big Giroud?
But Pan Yi raised his eyes and glanced at the white-haired professor, but still didn't speak.
Olivier Giroud is arguably Arsenal's most relied on centre-forward at the moment, and if he is really gone......
Either the professor vomited blood on the spot and fell to the ground, or the professor picked up the folding stool and had to practice with Pan Yi, in short, only one of the two men in this room could live.
Forget it, there's no need to kill anyone.
When the time comes, let's take our time to find it yourself.
Anyway, if you have money in your hands, it's not impossible to really smash Laiwan, Suarez, Benzema and the like......
"How?" Seeing that Pan Yi didn't speak, Wenger asked a little anxiously.
Then he added: "If you need any players or something, you can also discuss it...... Aren't you very interested in your affiliate club? ”
】
Pan Yi asked a lot of coaches to add to York City, and Wenger also heard about it.
Although I don't know why Pan Yi cares so much about this League Two team, and even sent his assistant coach to be the head coach, Wenger can't care so much, in short, Pan Yi can do it if he has needs.
Although most of Arsenal's players are also reluctant to play in League Two, they can always find a way.
It's much better than Pan Yi really looking for Wenger to go to the main forces like Sanchez and Giroud!
"No need for this, thank you." Pan Yi waved his hand.
Now Yorktown's team can be said to be strong, and there is no need for support at all.
Then Pan Yi continued: "William, I can rent it to you first." But ......"
"But what?" Wenger asked delightedly.
"I want your captain."
“……??” Arsene Wenger looked puzzled, "Arteta? However, he is ready to retire...... Don't you always buy some young players, why would you want him? ”
"Who said I wanted him to be my player?" Pan Yi smiled, "Didn't I leave an assistant coach?" I want him to come to Chelsea and be my coach. ”
This is what Pan Yi thinks now.
Scaloni is on his way to becoming the head coach of York City and he certainly needs to add an assistant coach.
Arteta is clearly a good fit.
In Pan Yi's previous life, although Tazige was already in a semi-retired state this year, he will officially announce his retirement in the summer of next year, and then turned around and joined the coaching staff of Pep Guardiola, who came to the Premier League in the same year, and became an assistant coach of Manchester City.
After helping Manchester City win two Premier League titles and two League Cup titles, Arteta returned to Arsenal to begin his managerial career.
And Arsenal also paid Manchester City millions of pounds in liquidated damages for this.
In 2019/20, Mikel Arteta led Arsenal to a 2-1 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final, becoming the first manager since George Graham in 1987 to win a crucial trophy in his debut season at Arsenal and the youngest manager to win the FA Cup in 20 years.
After an unsuccessful 2020/21 season, Arsenal have signed Mikel Arteta until 2025.
Since then, Mikel Arteta has led Arsenal to better and better performances, and has also begun to attack the team's first Premier League title in nearly 20 years......
From this resume, Arteta is indeed a natural coach, a natural leader.
He retired as an assistant coach for only two years, and immediately began to coach a giant team, and it can also be said to be successful, or it can be said that he is a beggar's version of Pan Yi.
Moreover, Arteta's coaching style also emphasizes discipline, is very passionate, and is good at agitating the emotions of players, and is known as the head coach who can do PPT in football, which is also very in line with Pan Yi's requirements.
It's just that Arteta still has a contract with Arsenal now, so it's not good to directly encourage him to retire and come to Chelsea as a coach.
This is not quite the same as Scaloni at the beginning, when he was almost free, but he was still hesitant to continue to find a team to play for another year - in other words, why does Pan Yi always engage in this kind of business of persuading people to retire and become coaches?
However, Arteta should not be a problem if Arsene Wenger had come forward and agreed to terminate his contract amicably.
As for Arteta himself, it should not be a problem.
Since he is willing to run to Guardiola's staff as an assistant coach, isn't it even more in his hands when he faces Pan Yi, a tactician who is even more famous than Guardiola?
Anyway, he can't play at Arsenal now, and he has no idea of switching to other teams, so it is better to enter the coaching profession sooner.
"Okay. I'll go talk to him. Wenger pondered for a moment, then readily agreed.
He had no reason to refuse.
He has always attached great importance to Arteta, the old captain, and of course hopes that Tazige can have a good home.
In fact, he has already put Mikel Arteta on a part-time basis for some youth development this season and is ready to use Tazigo in more coaching roles next season.
After becoming Arsenal manager, Arteta also said that his choice to take up the coaching position was influenced by Wenger, and the Premier League should always be grateful for Wenger's contribution.
'I dream of playing for Arsenal because of the way Arsenal play under Arsene Wenger, it's so attractive and I think every player wants to play here, I've had an extraordinary time with Arsene Wenger and I've learned a lot.
"Working with Arsene Wenger pushed me to become a coach at the end of my career, so he had a big influence on me. We had a conversation and I asked him what he would do if he was in my position because I wasn't sure if I would continue to play or start my coaching career. ”
'Then he helped me find a job in the club's academy and Arsene Wenger was an inspiration to me, he always supported me and I think he inspired every player and every staff member who worked with him.
'I think Arsene Wenger has taken English football to a different level and opened the door to other expats to make the league better.
'The way he speaks, the message he sends as a coach, the way he coaches the team, I think Arsene Wenger has had an extraordinary impact on world football. His horizons were much broader than any coach of his time. I think England and the Premier League should be forever grateful for Arsene Wenger's contribution. ”
"It's an incredible achievement to be able to coach a team for a long time and keep it at a consistently high level. Especially in the Premier League, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have really done that, no one has done it but them, and I don't know if there is anyone like them now. ”
"It's extraordinary to be around the same people, the same staff, the same players, and to be able to come up with something new every day to motivate them and keep them hungry, it's a very rare and special quality."
The mutual appreciation and achievements of the two sides have a good story of this master and apprentice.
Now, with Pan Yi's push, the process will become a little faster.
And in this way, Chelsea got Goretzka, Arsenal got Willian, and Arteta was able to work next to Pan Yi to continue his football career, which is simply an N win result!
-----------------
In the following days, there were several transfer news that made fans quickly "go up the tree" and "down the tree".
Nigerian midfielder Mikel, who was bought by Leicester City, for a fee of £20 million;
Chelsea sold Brazilian midfielder Ramires to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning for €40 million;
Chelsea brought in Germany's 20-year-old young midfielder Goretzka from Schalke 04 for €12 million;
Arsenal have paid Chelsea's winger Willian on loan for full wages plus a £1 million loan fee, with a buy-out clause attached;
In addition, it is related to coaching:
Chelsea assistant coach Scaloni has left to take over as head coach of League Two York City;
Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta has officially announced his retirement and joined the Chelsea coaching staff as an assistant coach to head coach Pan Yi.
These news, combined with the earlier loan move of Bamford to Crystal Palace, actually made Chelsea fans a little unhappy.
Is this tantamount to taking away a young youth center forward and three experienced veterans, only to add only a little-known German?
Although Pan Yi's reinforcements are always unexpected and effective, this time there are fewer real people.
If you want to win the seven crowns and fight on n fronts, you must first have sufficient personnel reserves, right?
In response, Pan Yi was: "Don't worry, don't worry. Let the bullets fly for a while. ”
In fact, Pan Yi is not just shooting bullets this time, but really preparing a big bomb!
Take a look at the criteria for the new striker that Pan Yi wants to buy this time:
It's okay to be young, well-rounded, preferably have a British household registration book, and have a high worth point......
Isn't this an answer coming out?
Think about who are the most popular homegrown strikers in England in the past two years?
In addition to Vardy, isn't it the current Tottenham Hotspur, who has just ranked second in England's Young Player of the Year and third in the Premier League's scorer list, the future British No. 1 star-
Harry Kane!
Needless to say, Harry Kane's technical characteristics can be summed up in the word "comprehensive", which can be said to be the culmination of the skills of the center forward.
He has a well-balanced left and right foot, which allows him to play well in any situation without being limited by his dominant foot.
The height of 188cm gives Kane a good ability to fight for the top of the ball, although the physique is not strong, the absolute speed is average, and the frequency of dribbling is not fast, but Kane has a high ball quotient, excellent ball protection ability, and basically no mistakes when there is a ball.
As a centre-forward, Kane is a superb shooter and can pose a threat in multiple positions.
In attack, Kane can also act as a fulcrum and play for his team-mates, and his through ball and transfer are comparable to those of a top midfielder, which is why his goals and assists statistics are excellent.
It can be said that if Kane is possessed, Chelsea's forward strength will definitely be greatly improved.
Theoretically, the cooperation between Lukaku and Kane will also be very sharp, after all, Kane will not only eat cakes, but also feed cakes to ensure that Lu is comfortable.
Also, Harry Kane can be said to be a model of a professional player, both on and off the field.
Like Messi, he has a childhood girlfriend named Katie.
Interestingly, when England superstar David Beckham held a football summer camp at the Thamford Foundation School, there was a group photo, and the left and right sides of Beckham were Kane and Katie!
It can be said that this love was witnessed by Beckham.
And then, for such a childhood sweetheart's love, Harry Kane also cherished it a lot, he once said:
"If I'm single now and go and meet new people, you'll never know what those people want to do with me, is it for money? You really don't know. ”
"I'm lucky to have a love I knew from my childhood. It's very important that I have good family and good friends who listen to me in good times and bad times. ”
That's what he said, and that's what he did.
To be honest, compared to the wives of supermodels of other players, Katie's appearance and figure can only be said to be mediocre.
But when Kane's fame soared, he didn't forget that there was someone around him who was silently supporting him.
After having the first, the second, the third...... After the child, the family is also happy and happy and envious of others.
As a result, the paparazzi will never catch Harry Kane hanging out in a club, nor will they find any scandals about him.
This kind of player who focuses on the inside of the pitch will also be an excellent role model in the locker room, which is exactly the type that Pan Yi likes.
It's just that in this way, Pan Yi has to consider the combination of formation and personnel.
After all, if Kane does come, he can't be allowed to play as a substitute for Lukaku, right? After all, his addition is higher than that of Bamford, and it is too violent to play as a substitute.
Of course, for Pan Yi, changing the formation or anything is nothing.
He doesn't know how many formations he has used since he entered professional football, and there are almost no repetitions!
When the personnel are all there, you can design a set of formation and play style that meets the current situation and characteristics of the players according to the actual situation.
It's just that if he wants to introduce Kane, Pan Yi now has to face several problems.
First, Tottenham Hotspur, or their owner, Levy, the person.
Kane, as a Tottenham academy and his own prince, Levy will definitely not let go easily.
Coupled with the tension between Tottenham and Chelsea, and the past of "refusal" between Levy and Pan Yi, this deal must not be easy to negotiate.
Second, potential competitors.
Harry Kane has been getting better and better since returning to Tottenham from a loan spell in the 2013/2014 season.
Last season's 21 goals in the Premier League proved his quality and earned him his first selection for the England team, which of course attracted the attention of many big clubs.
At the age of less than 22, the new England international is not covetous?
It is said that the brothers Manchester United and Manchester City are already eyeing Kane and are secretly fighting to bring him to Manchester, but it is not known whether they will wear him in a red shirt or a blue shirt.
The third, and most crucial, issue is Harry Kane's personal will.
A native Londoner, he joined Tottenham's Academy at the age of 10 and then went on to a stint at all levels of youth and made his way into the Tottenham first-team squad for the Carabao Cup in '09 at the age of 16.
Although he spent the next few years on loan outside the home, his heart has always been that of Tottenham.
In Pan Yi's previous life, there were transfer rumors of Harry Kane almost every year, and not only Premier League teams, but also European giants such as Real Madrid and Bayern would also be involved with him.
But in the end, Kane chose to stay at Tottenham, with a salary that did not match his strength, and guarded the empty room of honor.
In this life, can Pan Yi persuade him to leave the team? This is also an unknown.
But no matter what, you have to try it.
It's not just about improving Chelsea's strength, it's also about helping Kane achieve his dream of winning the title.
-----------------
"Honey, I'm not going to Manchester."
In a house in the northern suburbs of London, England, Harry Kane said as he shook his wife, Katie's hand.
Although the two of them are not officially married yet, in Kane's eyes, Katie is already his wife and is ready to have their first child.
"You don't have to think about my feelings." Katie looked Kane in the eye affectionately, "Your career plan is the most important thing. If you think it would be better to go to Manchester United or Manchester City, go for it. ”
It is clear that Manchester United and Manchester City have contacted Harry Kane privately at this point, and the couple are discussing whether to agree to them.
"We've been living in London for over 20 years, and I really don't want to change that." Harry Kane shook his head, "I've thought about it, both me and you are used to the environment here. You have the best sisters of your own, and you shouldn't lose your precious friendship with them because of my choices. ”
"Harry, even when we go to Manchester, we keep in touch and get together from time to time. Didn't we go to the Dragon Country? Katie laughed and said, "You shouldn't think about everything for me." You have to think about yourself as well, I know you'd love to have a better platform to perform, but it doesn't look like Tottenham can't give you that. ”
"You are my wife, I don't think about you, for whom?" Harry Kane smiled and said that he wasn't talking sweetly, that's what he thought.
"Besides, there is hope for us this year. The team has just bought South Korean star Son Heung-min, as well as Belgian defender Alderweireld, and by the way, Kieran Trippier......"
Harry Kane was still talking, when suddenly his phone rang.
"It's Danny Collins."
Danny Collins is Harry Kane's agent.
"Harry, there's something new." A loud voice came out of the microphone, "I just received a call from Chelsea manager Mr Pan Yi who wants to invite you to Chelsea. ”
Chelsea?
Pan Yi?
Harry Kane was stunned for a moment.
Then, suddenly, it was as if a fire was burning in his heart.
Chelsea's invitation, is he tempted?
Of course, it's a bit tempting.
Whether it is Manchester United or Manchester City, there is a certain gap compared to Chelsea at this time.
After all, Chelsea are the Premier League champions, the Champions League champions!
And Chelsea still won the title in an unbeatable situation.
There has even been talk in the media that Chelsea are creating their own dynasty.
Faced with an invitation from such a champion team, Harry Kane can't be unimpressed.
Plus, Chelsea are a London team!
This is also a very important factor.
Harry Kane is a character who likes a stable environment, both in life and at work.
And if he moves from Tottenham to Chelsea, he doesn't even have to move his home, and there will be no major changes to his own or his wife's social environment.
The children born in the future will still have a London hukou......
Hanging up the phone with his agent Danny Collins, Harry Kane discussed with his wife.
"Katie, what do you think?" Harry Kane asked.
'Harry, I'm rooting for you to go to Chelsea.' Katie encourages her husband.
Chelsea are the most popular team in Europe at the moment, and Pan Yi is the top manager in the world.
Pan Yi has a very accurate eye for people, and is extremely good at cultivating young players, whether it is Lukaku or Hazard and others, they all exude dazzling light under Pan Yi's hands.
Or the B seat who beat Kane in England's Young Player of the Year award, who knew about the Portuguese before last season?
But B, who is one year younger than Kane, played the main position in Pan Yi's Chelsea, and then played at his highest level.
Therefore, as a wife, Katie, of course, hopes that her husband, Kane, can gradually grow into a world-class star like these young players!
The current Tottenham manager Pochettino is good, but in all fairness, there is still a certain gap compared to Pan Yi......
In addition, agent Danny Collins also said on the phone just now that Pan Yi is willing to offer Harry Kane a weekly salary of 150,000 euros!
That's more than double what Kane took at Tottenham!
"I still hope you can win more championships!" Katie added, "It doesn't have to do with the money or not......
