Regarding Jason McGill's report, Pan Yi didn't pay much attention to it.

With this little sponsorship fee, can you buy my Pan's heart?

Of course, he agrees with McGill's point of view, that is, whether the funds are from Manchester City, the United Arab Emirates, or Musk, Tesla, or NASA, as long as it is legal money, we will accept it!

Don't be in vain.

I just didn't expect that the fact that I bought Yorktown would be exposed so soon.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no rule that says which coach can't buy the team, and if it is exposed, it will be exposed, and it will not have much impact on himself.

Maybe it's more convenient for you to carry out your own work.

Not to mention anything else, when York City was buying, people heard that this was Pan Yi's team, so they had to look up and down? Hey.

Of course, at least this year, his focus will be on Chelsea.

After Manchester City, Chelsea soon faced West Bromwich Albion in the third round of the Premier League.

There are no overly famous players in this team, and the most familiar to Pan Yi is the future Chinese Super League celebrity, Venezuelan striker Rondon.

And the head coach of the team is also Pan Yi's "old acquaintance", because he is Tony Pulis, who was introduced to Crystal Palace by Pan Yi as the head coach, led the team to relegation and also won the title of the best head coach in the Premier League.

The guy was a personality and resigned 48 hours before the start of the 2014-15 season, catching Palace off guard.

Now he's at West Bromwich Albion and he's playing with Chelsea with the same traditional tactics of playing high.

The Chelsea players did not get used to it at first, and they were slow to get into the groove, and the two sides ended in a 0-0 first-half battle.

But at halftime, Pan Yi made timely adjustments, allowing the midfielder to speed up the conduction speed and use the space of the opponent's defense to play the time difference.

The players quickly regained their form and opened the scoring with Romelu Lukaku setting up Romelu Lukaku in the 50th minute of the game.

Just seven minutes later, it was Romelu Lukaku's goal that gave Chelsea another goal, this time assisted by Joao Cancelo.

After scoring two goals in a row, Chelsea maintained the advantage on the field, and Pan Yi also replaced three players in one go to ensure the fitness and condition of the players on the field.

Finally, in stoppage time, Tammy Abraham's header provided the assist for Harry Kane to score again.

Chelsea ended up beating West Bromwich Albion 3-0 on the road.

With this victory, Pan Yi's Chelsea team also officially broke the unbeaten Premier League record set by the team in the history of the team.

Chelsea take on Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on 29 August in the fourth round of the Premier League.

This time, Pan Yi and Alain Pardu both set up and played offensive football.

Both teams were not the slightest bit conservative and started to play against each other from the start.

Chelsea, who were playing at home, were more attacking despite a heavy rotation, scoring in the 35th and 43rd minutes of the first half through Kylian Mbappe and Jesse Lingard, both assisted by Eden Hazard.

After the restart in the second half, Kurt Zouma scored from a corner and then Yovanovic scored from distance to make it 4-0.

But just when everyone thought Chelsea were going to win another big game, Alain Pardew suddenly came to the rescue, and Chelsea unleashed a ferocious attack in the final 20 minutes, and a breakthrough from Zaha tore through the Chelsea defence and pulled a goal back.

In the end, Chelsea won 4-1 against Crystal Palace.

It's just that the laxity of the players in the final stage of the game still made Pan Yi feel a little dissatisfied, and he beat the players hard.

However, after all, they still won, and Chelsea, who have won all four games, are still at the top of the standings.

And because it was an international break after that, Pan Yi gave everyone a holiday to relax, and he went to Yorkshire.

First, Scaloni has been in some trouble lately, and I need to discuss it with him and have some in-depth communication;

Second, it is also a vacation to date Valentina and have some in-depth communication......

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

During this time, League Two was played for three rounds.

York City drew 0-0 away at Exeter City before losing 2-1 at home to Mansfield for their first defeat of the season.

Then in the sixth round, they lost 0:3 to the top-ranked Lyton East.

As a result, York City not only gave up the second place in the standings, with a total of 10 points from six games, three wins, one draw and two losses, but also could only rank 8th in the standings, not even entering the play-off zone.

The rules for League Two are that the top three are promoted directly, while the fourth to seventh places will compete in a two-legged home-and-away knockout promotion play-off to compete for a place in League One next season.

Although the league has just started and there is still a long list of fixtures to go, the fact that there is no win in three consecutive games is really pessimistic about the future of York City.

But more importantly, there are the problems that come to the fore behind it.

This season, York City have brought in a number of veterans from Premier League and Championship teams, who are experienced and capable but have obvious shortcomings in terms of fitness.

In League Two, the competition is fierce, with a lot of physical confrontation and a dense schedule.

How is it a dense method?

There are a total of 24 teams in League Two, each of which plays at least 46 games per season, not counting the League Cup and FA Cup.

That's eight more games than the average Premier League team without European games, and of course more games have to be played every week.

For example, the Premier League and League Two started at the same time, and at this time the Premier League had four rounds of matches, while League Two had six rounds.

At first, the veterans were able to handle it, but as the game went on game by game, the problem of the team's average age was exposed.

Therefore, Pan Yi is here to discuss with Scaloni, study the problems that the team is currently experiencing, and give his own opinion.

"There's no doubt about the quality of the players. But the problem now is that our players are older. ”

Pan Yi sat in the head coach's office at York City, watching the video of the game between York City and Laiton East with Scaloni.

'If you look at the game, there were no problems in the first half and neither side scored.

Although this game was a 0:3 defeat for York City, it was only after 60 minutes in the second half that the opponent scored three goals in a row.

On the one hand, when York City dominated the first half, the team did not convert the advantage on the field into goals, played a little too restrained, and the second half was disrupted by the opponent's attack and lost control of the game.

After the opponent scored a goal, the team was obviously a little disordered, and the thinking was not unified enough, so the opponent scored two goals in a row, and finally lost the game.

"To have such a squad and lose in League Two, you can't really blame the players, it's the coach's problem." Pan Yi unceremoniously pointed out the crux of the team.

'I'm sorry about how the team is doing now, boss, and I'm willing to take full responsibility for that.' Scaloni said in shame.

If he was confident about leading York City to League One before the season, or after three games, now the brutal League Two competition has given him a slap in the face.

It made him realise how difficult it is to coach a team to emerge from the fourth tier.

"Alright." Pan Yi stretched out his hand to stop him and continued, "Now is not the time to hold him accountable, we are in the same boat, we have to help each other in the same boat, and now the first and most important task is to solve the team's problems." ”

Scaloni nodded and said, "Where is the problem with my tactics, you can teach me again." ”

"Tell me, what tactics do you mainly use?" Pan Yi asked.

'It's the same as last season when we were at Chelsea, I played a 3-4-3 and focused on pressing up front and controlling the ball in midfield. Scaloni replied.

Pan Yi smiled: "Then in your team, is there Hazard?" ”

Scaloni was stunned: "No." ”

"What about Bernardo Silva?"

"Not either."

"That's it. You've got veterans who have been eliminated from the Premier League and the Championship, so how can they play well with the ball? Pan Yi laughed even louder, "Okay, even if the level of League Two is relatively low, they can control the ball, but if you let them press in front like Chelsea, don't you want them to die?" ”

"This ......," said Scaloni, a little embarrassed, "is because I learned this ...... after a year with you."

"It's your dead study, dead questions." Pan Yi stood up and patted Scaloni on the shoulder, "But tactics are to be adapted to local conditions and taught according to people." Although I played 3-4-3 last season, I can change the formation and defend the formation, and you haven't seen any wingback formation. ”

Scaloni nodded slightly.

Pan Yi continued: "In fact, in League B, you don't have to play so complicated, just a 4-4-2 bomb is over!" Most of them have rough feet, and they can't really play with their feet. Well, you can look at Stoke City in previous seasons and they played very well. ”

"I remember, sir."

This kind of 4-4-2 bombing tactic is actually very common in the lower leagues of England, and the core is to fly on both wings and find a center forward with long passes.

Then there is nothing to say about this style of play in defense, it can be converted into a 4-1-4-1 formation to organize, and the role of the midfielder here is to try to use his individual ability to intercept in the midfield, rather than letting the opponent enter his own backline, and it is very dangerous to let the strong opposing striker face his own defense in the lower game.

If the opponent is really superior, you can also retreat at any time to join the positional defense to form a 5-4-1 dense defensive formation.

In attack, the full-backs can flexibly switch positions with the full-backs, join the attack at any time, and then pass the ball into the box when they find an opportunity.

The main role of the other players in the front court is to pull in the opposite direction, take away the opponent's defenders, and try to open up space for the core center to play.

This can be done from the back to the front, ensuring that several cores stand and connect with each other, mainly relying on handing the ball to the passer and passing each other forward.

When it comes to the opponent's defensive area, there are good opportunities to give the ball to other attacking players, but their attention is mainly on picking up leaks in front of the goal, making up shots, and the opponent breaking the ball or intercepting the ball before clearing the siege, and the responsibility of scoring is still handed over to the center!

In corner kicks and set-piece opportunities, the idea is still the same, the center and defender with a good header go to the point, in fact, in terms of the goalkeeper level of the lower league, the probability of scoring a goal within the frame of the goal is very high.

However, on the other hand, the level of the League Two players' own headers is also limited, so sometimes it is necessary to create as much chaos as possible in the opponent's penalty area and try to create a second point of killing.

This is the entire tactical system that Pan Yi summed up with a 4-4-2 bombing formation that can be used in League Two.

"When it comes to our team, you see, Yoon Hart, an old defender, he has a very good ability to play the ball, you can let him play a long pass directly from the back to the center. And then there's this midfielder, Gary Fletcher, who can get the ball from 45 degrees down the wing. And the full-backs ......"

Of course, Pan Yi didn't just talk about general tactics, or let Scaloni watch other people's game videos and be done.

He had done a lot of homework before he came today, so he was actually very clear about the composition and technical characteristics of this York City team.

So now he has also made long-term and specific personnel arrangements for Scaloni, which is equivalent to helping him formulate a set of tactics and playing styles that are more suitable for the current people and the rhythm of League Two.

This also made Scaloni feel very excited.

This is the martial arts cheats I got from the master!

As for why not coach at the beginning of the season? At that time, the time was tight, Chelsea's training camp was already short, and Pan Yi had to integrate new signings, so how could he have time to take care of too many things in York City.

Moreover, these players in York City come from various Premier League and Championship teams, and they have a lot of personnel, and the training time after they are in place is shorter, and there is even less time.

Besides, Pan Yi also wanted Scaloni to figure out a way by himself at that time, which could be regarded as a test.

As a result, the first three rounds were all won, and Pan Yi thought that it was not a big problem.

Looking at it now, it should be playing Chelsea-style full-court pressing that tired everyone, and the first few games were barely able to withstand it, but it couldn't be done in the back.

After all, not only are the abilities of York City's players incomparable to Chelsea, but also the training facilities, physical coaches, and team doctors are not at the same level.

So, it's really not like it's so hard and complicated, it's better to keep it simple.

Of course, playing eighth in six rounds at the moment is not too much of a problem.

There are a lot of games in League Two, it's still early.

And due to the low level of League Two, in fact, there are no particularly good teams under normal circumstances, and everyone pecks at each other, which also leads to the fact that the team that can be promoted in the end will not have a particularly high score.

Last season, for example, the top teams in the final table all lost about 10 games, including first-placed Burton Burton also lost eight.

And if you want to win the Premier League, you can't lose more than five games, and generally you can't win the championship if you play more than five.

So, it's not a big deal that York City has lost two games now, and there are still a lot of indicators.

As long as you can improve your playing style and adjust well, there is still time to counterattack.

"You have to remember that a season is very long, and no one can guarantee that they will get a promotion place until the end of June next year, and it's not September yet, so you can't be discouraged."

Pan Yi looked at Scaloni and said earnestly.

He really values the Argentine coach, so as soon as he heard the news that the team was in trouble, he immediately ran to York City.

Scaloni exhaled heavily, smiled at Pan Yi and nodded, his eyes becoming firm again.

Scaloni's encouragement was a great relief to Scaloni, because he really needed confidence so much now.

And Pan Yi just gave him great confidence and confidence, as well as technical support.

"By the way, you said we were going to play 4-4-2, but my forwards are all technical now, so it doesn't seem to be a good fit." Scaloni suddenly thought.

"Oh...... Also. Pan Yi looked up at the wall calendar on the wall, "That's simple, the transfer window hasn't closed yet, let's just buy one right away." It just so happens that the team receives a sponsorship fee, so let's spend it! ”

"Who to buy? It's only a day, where can I find the right players? Scaloni scratched his head, "Boss, you don't know all the players in League Two, do you?" ”

"I don't really know much." Pan Yi smiled and stretched out a finger, "But only one is enough, we only need one high school striker." ”

"Who?"

"Mark Baker."

“…… I don't know. ”

"He's supposed to be in ...... right now Forget it, I'll check it out first. ”

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

Mark Baker, 21 years old, "Yorktown Legend", is a 197cm tall and 80kg standing center forward, a traditional English center forward.

His physical condition and bouncing ability allow him to be an air bully in the penalty area, smashing balls from all directions into the opponent's net.

And the reason for putting quotation marks around "York City Legend" is because although Baker has always been mixed in League One and League Two, he has never actually played for York City.

It was because a cloud game streamer brought Baker to York City in the FM game, and then rushed all the way to the Premier League, and Baker also stayed in the team for ten years, and completed appearances and goals in the Premier League, this story has made Baker "York City famous".

And this also makes many Dragon Country fans inexplicably familiar and loved a player in the lower leagues of England.

Pan Yi also learned Baker's name from here.

Then he also checked the information and found that the real Baker is indeed very useful!

He is tall and big, he can rush to the top, and he is a big killer in English B!

It also fits in well with the 4-4-2 formation he recommended to Scaloni.

Whether it's a midfielder or a defender, it's all over when you get the ball to find Baker!

As for transfers, it's not a matter at all.

Baker now plays for Yeovir, also in League Two, with a value of 210,000 euros and a salary of 850 yuan per week......

What is this to Pan Yi, who has deep pockets?

Not to mention that he doesn't have to spend money, just use part of the money sponsored by SpaceX to take it out.

And for the Yeover team, a huge sum of 210,000 euros suddenly came, and their mouths were smiling.

You must know that the vast majority of players in teams below League Two are free transfers, and everyone's money is used to pay salaries, who can afford to pay the transfer fee?

Including Baker himself, who also transferred from Calisle United to Yeovil on a free transfer, which is equivalent to earning 210,000 euros for nothing!

So, I didn't say anything, I knocked out overnight and delivered it to Yorktown for free.

As for Baker? Of course he agreed.

York City directly raised his salary to 1,000 yuan a week, which was not enough for him to be happy.

Not to mention that although York City is only in 8th place, it is still much better than his Yeoville.

Now after 6 rounds, Yeovil is 1 win and 5 losses in the penultimate position, and there is still a danger of relegation.

As a young player at just 21 years old, he certainly wants to play in a stronger team and hone himself better.

So, the deal was completed quickly.

With the high strikers in place, York City's squad for the season is complete.

I just don't know if the story of Yorktown and Baker will be as beautiful as the story of the cloud anchor......
