Chapter 392: The list of first-team players is confirmed! (For the alliance leader Zhuge incompetent)
(The first alliance leader in this article, and the first alliance leader of this new alliance, must be updated.) In the next few days, I will try to look at it, and strive for two shifts a day, as an installment payment. Let's get some monthly passes and recommended tickets to encourage! )
Chelsea reject PSG's €110 million offer!
As soon as the news was released by the media, it immediately caused a lot of discussion in European football circles.
Everyone knows that a large part of this offer is because of Pan Yi's aura bonus.
Romelu Lukaku was the player handpicked by Pan Yi last season, and it was Pan Yi who called off the sale of him to Everton, and then achieved Lukaku's Premier League Golden Boot and Chelsea's double.
This also proves one point again: as long as the players are favored by Pan Yi, all of them have the strength of top superstars!
That's why Paris Saint-Germain dared to offer Lukaku such a price.
But now, Chelsea have publicly rejected PSG's offer, showing the same ambitions of the Premier League giants.
That's 110 million euros that will break the football transfer record!
!
I believe that there are few teams in the world who can refuse such an offer, but Chelsea just don't sell.
In an interview with The Times, Ron Gurray also openly stated: "Lukaku's role in the team is crucial and we will not accept offers from any team. We have agreed with our players that Lukaku is willing to stay at Chelsea and help the team defend their Champions League and Premier League titles in the new season, as well as other trophies. ”
Such an attitude is compared with Tottenham's 85 million sale of Harry Kane, and the judgment is high.
Therefore, this first-ever deal that was not completed was not only a delight for Chelsea fans, but also set off another wave of spur fans' conquest of Levy's top management......
Shortly after rejecting PSG's offer for Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea soon announced a transfer move to the hearts of Chelsea fans.
And this time, the unhappy big6 fans changed to Liverpool, because they have not been able to get off the tree since they went up the tree!
That's Hamburg's Dutch star Virgil van Dijk, who joined Chelsea for €55 million!
This means that Liverpool have been completely defeated in this Van Dijk battle.
What's the solution?
Whether it's face or money, Liverpool are no match for Chelsea......
The club's official website was quick to add Virgil van Dijk to Chelsea's squad and put him alongside the likes of Harry Kane, Goretzka and others for a signing ceremony.
Pan Yi personally attended the signing ceremony and said in an interview with reporters:
"Trust me and don't need to introduce them, everybody knows what level of players they are. All three players are very strong and they have all proven themselves in the top five leagues. ”
"Their addition has increased the depth of the team's squad, and at the same time, it can also enrich the team's style of play, allowing us to be more comfortable on multiple fronts in the new season."
"We have to try to play at the best level no matter who we send on the pitch or what lineup we use, and beat all the opponents!"
And Van Dijk also said:
"It's so exciting to be reunited with the leader!"
"I can say that I have always had two dreams, one of which is to play in the Premier League, and the other is to play under Coach Pan Yi."
"Unexpectedly, all my two wishes came true overnight! It was a great day. ”
Of course, Pan Yi is not just calling for wind and rain in the transfer market this season.
He also promoted two players from the youth team to the first team.
One is, of course, the French rising star Kylian Mbappe, who played and scored at the end of last season;
The other is Tammy Abraham, an Academy graduate who has excelled in Chelsea's youth team in the past two years.
Two young men, one 16 and the other 17, and both strikers!
In the end, Abraham was promoted, of course, closely related to Pan Yi's decision to use the 3-5-2 formation in the new season.
The two-striker formation, of course, must ensure at least four positive Indian center forwards, and then sometimes there is a real injury effect, so it is enough to let Hazard, Gnabry, Lingard and others make occasional cameos.
Tammy Abraham has good physical fitness, although the duties of a single striker can also be competent, but if you want to play to your greatest strengths, pairing with another center forward may be more able to activate the potential, so it is still very suitable for a two-striker formation.
What's more, Abraham is a very diligent striker, and he also spares no effort in defence, which is also an important reason why Pan Yi promoted him.
And because of the two guys Harry Kane and Lukaku as the center forwards, Pan Yi is certainly not good to spend a lot of money to bring in any big-name stars.
Wouldn't it be beautiful to have Mbappe and Abraham play on the bench, and be able to practice demons without being noisy or noisy?
Coupled with the fact that Tammy Abraham has been a member of the Chelsea Academy since 2004 and is a child of Chelsea fans, it is absolutely beneficial to be able to practice. ‘
In addition, Pan Yi also recalled a midfielder from the loan players, his name is Victor Moses.
Don't look at this guy is not famous, but he is actually very practical and a rare blue-collar talent.
In Pan Yi's previous life, Moses began a new chapter in his career when Conte became Chelsea's manager, placing him on the wing of the midfield.
Moses became an important part of Antonio Conte's side, contributing significantly to the Blues' Premier League title in 2016/17 and FA Cup in 2018.
And what formation did Conte play? Of course, it's the back three. Therefore, it should not be a problem for Moses to adapt to Pan Yi's set of 3-5-2.
Moreover, before Moses played as a wing-back, he used to be more active in wingers, midfielders, and even forward positions, so he is also a versatile midfielder, which is also necessary to become an important rotation player for Chelsea.
Of course, don't look at this guy in a hurry, but in fact, he is only 24 years old this year, and he can be regarded as a plastic talent!
Pan Yi's final addition to Chelsea's first-team squad this season is the goalkeeper position.
It stands to reason that Chelsea already have one Courtois and two Martins, which is enough.
However, in order to prevent accidents, a three-door one is still needed.
The team's 43-year-old veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer officially announced his retirement and then concentrated on becoming his goalkeeper coach.
Pan Yi also signed free Marco Amelia as the third goalkeeper.
Yes, it was the substitute goalkeeper when Pan Yi went to Milan.
The 33-year-old became a free agent when his contract with Milan expired in 2014 and then moved to Serie B Perugia for half a year, never renewing his contract.
So Pan Yi signed this acquaintance over, and he could respond to an emergency when necessary, and he could also be used as a half-goalkeeper coach in normal times.
As a result, Chelsea's first-team squad for the 2015-2016 season is almost official.
Forwards: Tammy Abraham, Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku.
Midfielders: Hazard, Gnabry, Lingard, Goretzka, Nemanja Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, B, Azpilicueta, Yovanovic, Cancelo, Marcos Alonso, Moses.
Defenders: Van Dijk, John Terry, David Luiz, Gary Cahill, Andreas Christensen, Ake, Kurt Zouma.
Goalkeepers: Courtois, Martinez, Amelia.
Here are several attacking midfielders such as Hazard, midfielders such as N'Golo Kante, and full-backs (wingbacks) such as Marcos Alonso are counted in the midfield, so it seems that the number of midfielders is particularly large.
In fact, it is indeed the largest number of first-team players in Chelsea in recent years.
Well, it is also the largest number of first team players since Pan Yi took charge.
There are 4 forwards, 13 midfielders, 7 defenders, and 3 goalkeepers, a total of 27 people!
Of course, this is only a rough score, after all, there are four or five players who are zoned in midfield who can play as strikers, and four or five who can play as defenders......
Unless suddenly one day the team goes to eat ramen together and eats poisoning, there will never be a shortage of soldiers and major generals, highlighting that there is a sufficient reserve of personnel.
Moreover, although whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, the upper limit of the number of applicants is 25;
However, since players who have been with clubs for more than 2 years and are under the age of 20 in the Champions League can participate without registration (the Premier League is more lenient and does not require years of service), there must be no problem for all 27 players in the first team to play.
After all, the likes of Kurt Zouma, Loftus-Cheek, Andreas Christensen and Tammy Abraham are all "veterans" under the age of 20 who have been at Chelsea for many years.
As a result, first of all, those who were shouting that Chelsea were "making ends meet" in the summer window have kept their mouths shut.
There are 27 people, more than last season! The investment in transfers is also more than 100 million!
And more people have a clearer understanding of Pan Yi's goal of winning the seven crowns.
This guy is here for real!
The fact that the first team alone has engaged so many people is to ensure the combat effectiveness of multi-front operations!
Therefore, although it is only the beginning of July, there are already countless fans who are looking forward to the new season that will start in August.
Especially in the first two cups of the Premier League, the Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup.
It's only two games, but it's two real trophies!
And in both games, Chelsea's opponents are not weak.
The Community Shield is against Arsenal, who won the FA Cup last season, while the UEFA Super Cup is against Europa League champions, Sevilla!
Can Chelsea win both trophies?
Will they start the new season's seven-time championship journey with these two trophies, or will they lose one or even two of them, so as to draw an early end to Pan Yi's rhetoric, or rather foolish words?
-----------------
The list of the first team is confirmed, and Pan Yi also has a major "reinforcement" on the staff's side.
One is, of course, the PPT guru Mikel Arteta joins the coaching team as an assistant coach, and the other is a guy named Walfaert.
Who is Walfaart?
Some fans may not know it, but if you have played the game of FM Football Manager and have personally dug up the team staff, you will definitely have an impression of this team doctor with full medical ability.
Yes, he is a team doctor from Germany who has been playing for Bayern Munich for many years.
In football, if you ask who the best player is, I believe that the fans of various stars will argue about it.
However, if you ask who is the best team doctor, I believe that fans all over the world will offer the same answer: Woolfaat!
In fact, not only in the field of football, but also in the world of sports, the name "Walfaert" is a god-like existence, so much so that there is a saying in the sports circle: when you are seriously injured, the first thing to do is to buy a ticket to Munich.
This 72-year-old man has been the team doctor of Hertha Berlin since 1975, thus starting his career as a "miracle doctor" in the green arena and even in the world sports arena.
In the following 40 years, with innovative research and experience in sports medicine, Wohlfaut has achieved almost zero misdiagnosis rate, leaving behind a legend of rejuvenation.
Spanish golfer Olsba, for example, was considered to retire due to a serious back injury, but regained the Masters title in 1999 after Vorfath's recovery.
In fact, from Beckenbauer in the 70s to Maradona in the 80s, and then from Ronaldo in the 90s to Gerrard in the new millennium;
From Jordan and Kobe Bryant in basketball to tennis star Graff, from Powell in track and field to swimming star Almsik (and even U2 frontman Bono), countless sports superstars who have suffered enough injuries to bury their careers have been healed and helped by Wohlfaert to recover their health and even rejuvenation......
As a result, the reputation of the "miracle doctor" has spread far and wide, and it has been recognized by the industry as a world leader in the treatment of sports injuries.
Among them, the most famous eucalyptus is the world 100m record holder Usain Bolt.
In 2002, when Bolt, who had just turned 16 years old, was still unknown, his coach took him to Munich and asked: "Is this kid worth exercising?" ”
Walfault examined it with his own unique training assessment and replied, "If you let him complete my recovery program, he will be able to do anything in the future."
Wolfault then began to treat Lightning's injuries and discovered his scoliosis in 2005 – corrective treatment cleared the way for Bolt to move to the 100-metre track.
After that, it was Walfaert's careful handling that allowed Bolt, who was suffering from spine pain, to catch up with the 2008 Olympics.
After BJ's 3 gold medals, Bolt said gratefully: "Dr. Wohlfaert is a great man, the best doctor in the world!" My gold medal is dedicated to Wolfaart, who has made a major contribution to what I have achieved, and I would like to thank him for all that he has done for me. ”
Bolt's praise made Walfaert more famous around the world and made his clinic the best place for athletes around the world to rely on after injury.
It is said that even the table tennis national player Zhang Jike has suffered a serious foot injury for some years, and his fans have gone to great lengths to make an appointment with Wolfart's expert number......
I just don't know if Zhang Jike had plenty of money at that time, and whether he needed to provide some additional photos or something.
Of course, since he is Bayern's team doctor, of course, he deals more with footballers.
Wolfaart's association with Bayern began in the 70s with a treatment for the "Emperor of Football" Beckenbauer, which led him to an invitation from Bayern Munich in 1977 and the signing of a contract with then-Bayern president Noyundik and manager Swann Swan.
The decades that followed were an important period for the development of sports medicine, and Wolfart studied the rapidly developing sports medicine while serving with the team, and made an indelible contribution to Bayern's rise.
He not only helped many players get rid of injuries and return to the field to overcome obstacles, but also won praise and sincere support from the whole team.
Bayern Munich Honoured Heathfield exclaimed, "The players agree with Walfath's treatment, he is a very clever doctor, arguably the best in the world." ”
And when Sauer, the "son of Bayern", retired, he regarded Wolfart as one of the most grateful people in his life.
Here we must also mention "Peter Pan" Robben.
Hoeness called Vorfaert that year: "We have a chance to sign Arjan, can you guarantee his fitness?" ”
After a detailed examination, Walfault confidently replied: "Leave it to me!" And so the history-changing transfer was done.
In the following years, Robben, who has the attribute of "glass man", still had occasional injuries, but he was not troubled by serious injuries at Bayern, and even remained at his best all year round.
And when Robben gave up a better offer and chose to renew his contract with Bayern, he made it clear: "I chose to stay at Bayern because it has the best medical conditions. ”
Thanking him for the compliment, Walfath said: "Robben is like an F1 car and I check his fitness before every race. When he is allowed to do so, he will unleash the ...... with all his might."
To convince so many players, Walfault has another great thing in addition to his medical excellence, and that is his psychotherapy.
"The Kicker" once praised, "When the injured see Walfath, they are halfway healed." ”
Former Bayern captain Kahn said: "I come to him every time I have a hard time, and when I am fully recovered, my physical and mental condition will be better. ”
Former captain Effenberg was even more exaggerated: "Every time we go out to play, as long as he's there, we're very relieved and full of strength. ”
Knowing that in addition to physical rehabilitation is more important than psychological rehabilitation, Walfath always has a thorough relationship with the players, which gives each patient enough confidence and support, and even encourages the players to give them positive psychological cues like a coach.
In addition, another highly respected aspect of the "Miracle Doctor" is that the health of the players is always the primary starting point for his work.
Not only did Wohlfath rarely use surgery to increase secondary injuries, but he was always resolute in curbing the risk of a player's return during his rehabilitation.
And the players will choose to use his treatment plan, and it is clear that the prestige of the "miracle doctor" is the reason for the players' unconditional trust.
There is no doubt that Bayern's past success is inseparable from Wolfat's hard work behind the scenes, and all this stems from the "miracle doctor's" pure heart for Bayern.
Walfaert's wife said: "His heart was completely connected to Bayern 40 years ago, and it can never be separated. ”
So here's the problem.
Since Wohlfath is so awesome, so important to Bayern, and he also has a deep affection for Bayern, how did Pan Yi dig him?
It's just a philosophical disagreement between him and Pep Guardiola.
The opening of a 1,600-square-metre medical centre in the centre of Munich by Vorfath and Howard owner Hope has allowed him to focus his work ever since, as Bayern players mostly go to clinics for treatment.
However, the strict Pep Guardiola could not accept it, and he always believed that the team doctor should stay at the club.
As a result, he planted the seeds of conflict with Wohlfath, until Guardiola applauded the bench at the Dragons Stadium due to Benatia's re-injury, and then Wohlfath's team chose to resign.
Such a good opportunity, how could Pan Yi let it go?
So, under Pan Yi's kind invitation, Chelsea successfully picked up the leak!
After all, the old doctor is uncomfortable all day long without working, and after leaving Bayern, he also wants to slap Gua Shuai in the face with better work results!
Who is Pan Yi?
is one of the few men in the world who can really slap Guardiola in the face several times......
So Walfath is also very willing to join Chelsea.
So, after having the world's best fitness coach Pintus, Chelsea also has the world's best team doctor, Vorfath!
Once you have enough first-team players and then make sure they can play the whole season, that's the solid foundation for the Seven Crowns!
Otherwise, no matter how many players there are, it will be useless.
Take Pan Yi's 2022-2023 Chelsea in his previous life as an example, they have as many as 30 first-team players, but they still feel stretched down when they play.
Why?
Because they also have more than a dozen people on their perennial injury list......
And now Chelsea, it should be difficult to have such a "spectacular" scene.
As soon as Walfault arrived at the club, he immediately started work, carried out a detailed examination of all the players, and made a report on the analysis of the data.
He also worked closely with Pintus, giving expert advice on the player's physical condition, as well as his technical characteristics, as well as his past injuries, and a professional strength and conditioning coach who was responsible for developing a muscle-strengthening training plan for him.
Then pay close attention, follow up and monitor, and then follow the actual situation of the players to make corrections.
It's really, really important, and it's also a very missing part of the country.
Speaking of physical training, I don't know how big the gap between the domestic level of the Dragon Kingdom and European football is.
But it's not just about the physical strength of the players, it's even about the fitness of the players and the development of a young player.
It can be said that European professional football has been tracking and monitoring the physical condition of a player since he first came into contact with football, as he gets older.
Especially muscles, and will also be tailored to the player's position and characteristics and other factors, to ensure that the player can better play their own characteristics and strengths.
But in China, let alone being taken seriously, I'm afraid no one cares at all.
Therefore, Pan Yi is also considering introducing this advanced system to Chelsea's football schools in the country, so that the children of the dragon country can also enjoy the most advanced system in Europe.
Of course, there is another point that surprises Pan Yi.
That is, Wolfaert is now 72 years old, but the athlete's physique and perennial healthy life make him always energetic and energetic, and there is no trace of time on his body.
Seeing him walking like a fly on the training ground, many people didn't believe that he was so old.
After all, most of them are in their prime, and it is probably very good to be able to live at home and take care of themselves......
Perhaps it is his years of work and training in sports medicine that have allowed him to create a young physique.
And this proves the miracle of the miracle doctor from the side!
