On the evening of 17 September, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea played Wolfsburg at home in the first round of the 2015-2016 Champions League group stage.

When the players of the two teams, led by the referee, walked into the stadium amid the roar of Chelsea fans, Pan Yi and Heijin began to shake hands and greet each other at the entrance of the players' tunnel.

The two have played against each other in the Bundesliga, so they are quite familiar with each other.

It's just that the Wolfsburg players under the hands of Black and Gold are much stronger than they were two years ago.

Take a look at his starting line-up today, a 4-4-2 formation in a big diamond shape.

Forwards: Bendtner, Dost.

Midfielders: Draxler, Kreuzer, Gustavo, Schurrle.

Defenders: R. Rodriguez, Naldo, Dante, Vierinha.

Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

Even from the perspective of Pan Yi's previous life as a fan, he knows all the players in this lineup, and they are basically internationals from various countries.

That's why they were runners-up in the Bundesliga last season, behind the mighty Bayern Munich.

Wolfsburg also won the German Cup for the first time in the team's history last season, which is also a reflection of their strength.

Interestingly, they also had a Dragon Country player last season, that is, Zhang Xizhe, who often "wears hats".

It's a pity that Zhang Xizhe didn't have many opportunities to play in Wolfsburg, and was praised as a "sales-oriented midfielder" by Longguo fans, and returned to China to play in Guoan after the season results.

It is precisely because of this that the "Dragon Derby" that Dragon Country fans were looking forward to last season, that is, the scene of Wu Lei vs. Zhang Xizhe when Hamburg vs. Wolfsburg did not appear.

Of course, Pan Yi will face Wolfsburg today, and he will not see Zhang Xizhe either.

But the opponent of black gold still needs to be taken seriously.

Today he played 4-4-2 with two big centre-forwards.

The 25-year-old Dutch international Dost is 192cm tall, and the 26-year-old Danish international Scriptner is 194cm and 89kg, which is clearly about to bomb Chelsea in the air.

Behind them is 26-year-old Germany international Kreuzer, who can also play up front, but today he was behind the two centre-forwards and was responsible for delivering shells up front.

Fructier is flanked by young German teenager Draxler and Chelsea veteran Schurrle, both of whom are also German internationals.

】

Both players are quick and have good dribbling and passing ability.

Therefore, cutting off the passing lines between the midfield and the flanks towards the middle of the penalty area will certainly be the key to the success of this game.

VfL Wolfsburg relied on the Germans in midfield and the Brazilians at the back.

Gustavo at the back, Dante at centre-back and Naldo at knife-forward are solid defensively and have a strong attacking prowess, and with Swiss international R. Rodriguez and Portugal international Vierinha flanked on either side, it will really require the attention of the Chelsea crowd.

Of course, Wolfsburg is playing away from home today, so they won't be too aggressive against a strong team like Chelsea.

According to Pan Yi's estimate, the basic strategy of Heijin is to stabilize the defense, and then make a long pass to find the two high points in front of it, and score if you can score, and forget if you can't score, but you must not delay your own defense because of the offense.

At Stamford Bridge, a point is a win, that's pretty much the consensus of all the coaches who come here these days.

Everton's defence in the Premier League was almost successful, and although Everton were at home at the time, the Black and Gold wanted to try that too.

Chelsea, on the other hand, is obviously still attacking with the initiative.

Compared with Wolfsburg's "high", Pan Yi's forward line today is "fast".

The two strikers who started today are Mbappe and Abraham!

On the one hand, it is due to rotational reasons, as Chelsea face Manchester United in the Premier League just two days after this Champions League game.

On the other hand, it is a kind of fulfillment of promises, when Pan Yi promised to let Mbappe play in the Champions League, then he will do what he says.

Tammy Abraham is of similar nature, and having him start in the Champions League is a bonus after a good performance from the bench in the last game.

In the end, it was also because Lukaku was injured in the last round, although it was not a big problem, but for the sake of safety, it was better to let him rest.

Then, simply let Harry Kane rest, the two of them have basically started every game since the beginning of this season, even the Iron Man still has to slow down.

But even with some rotations, Chelsea were proactive from the start of the game, pressing Wolfsburg and eating away from their opponents.

Today, Pan Yi discharged a tougher combination like Kante + Goretzka + Matic in the midfield, and they were able to provide Chelsea with enough tough pressing in the midfield, plus the trident in the front, enough to contain Wolfsburg's midfield.

And it turns out that this is indeed the case.

On the one hand, Wolfsburg's caution and conservatism, and on the other hand, Chelsea's initiative.

In the opening two minutes, Mbappe took the ball on the left side, accelerated and forced a breakthrough through R. Rodriguez, cut inside into the box, sent a cross cross, cut in at high speed, and shot angrily at the edge of the penalty area, hitting the first shot of the game.

Then, when Mbappe rushed into the right corner of the penalty area, when he shook off Dante to cut inside, the Brazilian fell to the ground and made an unsuccessful tackle, but forced Mbappe down.

The referee did not award a penalty or a foul, nor did he award Mbappe for a fake fall, which in his opinion was just a normal collision.

And the two consecutive attacks were played by Mbappe with the ball, which put the Wolfsburg defense under great pressure.

Their defenders are not known for their speed, like left-back R. Rodriguez and centre-back Naldo.

Dante, in particular, is as slow as a grass turtle.

When a grass turtle touches a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, of course, it will often be exploded.

This is also the reason why Pan Yi dared to use two young forwards who can run in today's game.

Plus, behind Mbappe and Tammy Abraham, there's plenty of support.

Not to mention the issue of individual ability, Chelsea's five midfielders against Wolfsburg's four midfielders, and Wolfsburg's side has only one midfielder, Gustavo, in terms of midfield control, Chelsea must have the advantage.

Therefore, whether Chelsea are attacking from a position or counter-attacking after a counter-attack, they are clearly more disciplined and threatening than Castle Worth.

In the 10th minute, after a long-range effort from Wolfsburg, Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois whipped in a goal kick straight into the pitch.

Tammy Abraham began to play his part at this point, blocking the opposing Brazilian centre-back Naldo with his body in an attempt to snatch the first spot.

But under Naldo's desperate scramble, he still pushed the ball back, but it was not far under the interference.

Goretzka rushed over as soon as possible and controlled the second drop point.

As soon as the ball fell, the young German midfielder was about to stop the ball and turn around, only for Gustavo to slide directly from the side and shovel the ball back into the Wolfsburg backline.

Abraham rushed up to grab it again, but Naldo also let go of the tackle and shoveled the ball directly to the side.

Vierinha followed up with a big kick and kicked the ball to the right side of the pitch.

Schurrle pulls to the right to receive the ball.

After Schurrle joined Wolfsburg, the Blacks and Gold often arranged for Schurrle to play on the right and Draxler on the left in order to coexist with another German international, Draxler.

Now, as soon as Schurrle stopped the ball, he saw that his old team-mate Azpilicueta had rushed to him, which made Schurrle instinctively want to dangle the ball back and shake Azpilicueta.

But at this moment, Cancelo didn't know when, suddenly returned to his own half and appeared behind him.

Cesar Azpilicueta and Joao Cancelo, who played two wing-backs each today, made a flexible run and ran to the same side at the same time.

It was this kind of movement, as well as their knowledge of Schurrle's playing habits, that made their joint tackle this time surprise Schurrle.

I saw Cancelo lean his body directly towards Schurrle, and then stretched out his leg to cut off the ball.

Schurrle was also very tenacious and counter-robbed on the spot at the first time, but after being blocked by Azpilicueta with a "block" on his ass, he could only sigh at the ball.

Soon, Cancelo took two quick steps forward with the ball and handed it to Mbappe, who was picking up.

The French youngster suddenly let go of the speed!

He was like flying, catching up with Gustavo at great speed, grabbing the ball in stride, straight past Gustavo's defensive zone.

Mbappe's speed is getting faster and faster, especially near the edge of the Wolfsburg penalty area, his speed is not reduced at all, and the whole person is like a lightning, quickly rushing to the gap between him and Naldo, burying his head and continuing to sprint forward.

That's just too fast!

It was so fast that Dante and Naldo didn't have time to close the door before they were rushed by Mbappe.

After breaking away from the combined defence of Dante and Naldo, Mbappe took a look in front of goal and saw that Tammy Abraham had followed at the back post.

So, without thinking, he crossed the ball low with his left foot.

The ball was extremely fast, passed behind the Wolfsburg defence and landed on the right side of the goal.

Goalkeeper Benaglio was visibly stunned and turned to pounce on his right, but he immediately saw Chelsea's other striker, Tammy Abraham, rush in front of everyone and slot his right foot towards Mbappe's cross.

The ball was comfortably swept into the bottom right corner of the Wolfsburg goal by Tammy Abraham's right foot.

“goalllllllllllllllllllll！

！

！

！ ”

"Tammy Abraham!

”

'In the 10th minute, Chelsea opened the scoring against Wolfsburg, and it was another goal from Tammy Abraham! This is his first consecutive goal after scoring the winner from the bench in the last round of the Premier League! ”

"He repaid the trust of head coach Pan Yi in him with his continuous goals!"

"Of course, this goal is first and foremost thanks to Mbappe, who assisted him. Mbappe's long-distance run was spectacular, and we saw that Wolfsburg's entire left rib was breached. ”

"Of course, Abraham is also very fast, and if he hadn't been desperately rushing forward, it would have been difficult to run to the best position to get this overdrive assist from Mbappe!"

"Sixteen-year-old Mbappe assists seventeen-year-old Abraham, what a beautiful picture! Two young men who made their Champions League debuts today put on a good show together! ”

"One to zero! Chelsea are ahead! ”

Chelsea fans cheered throughout Stamford Bridge, all chanting Abraham's name.

And Mbappe.

That long-distance run just now was so exciting, too fast, too shocking!

On the football field, speed has always been the most powerful weapon to fan the enthusiasm of fans.

It's like Owen in the 98 World Cup that year, Ronaldo earlier, and Bale, who "passed to himself three seconds later" when he played Barcelona in the Copa del Rey......

And now, Chelsea's Mbappe seems to be about to take over the guns of these predecessors and become the representative of the speed-oriented striker in world football!

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

While the Chelsea players were frantically rushing out of the pitch to celebrate, Pan Yi stood on the sidelines with a blank face.

He has long been mentally prepared, playing Wolfsburg at home, it is indeed what he should win, so the goal itself really didn't surprise him.

But he was still happy.

Mainly these two young players, it still seems that there is still a lot of chemistry.

Mbappe + Abraham, isn't this the youth version of a high and a fast!

And it's really "high" and "fast", not "happy" and "happy" like Sterling.

In this way, Pan Yi's worries about Chelsea's forward line this season can also be dispelled.

The main reason is that these two young people are too young, and they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the pressure and take on the heavy responsibilities during some important competitions.

And once Lukaku and Harry Kane have any injuries, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand up.

Now it seems that these two young men always belong to the juvenile and old formation, and it seems that there is no big problem.

Especially Mbappe, compared to his previous life, Pan Yi promoted him to the first team a few months earlier to play official games, and he was a little afraid that he would "help the seedlings".

But after watching these games, it feels like the then Monaco coach was conservative.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Mbappe was able to adapt to the rhythm of the first team so quickly under the guidance of Pan Yi and quickly play his own advantages in the game.

After turning around and shaking hands with Arteta and others in front of the coach's box, Pan Yi walked back to the side of the pitch.

At this time, the players had already finished their celebrations and walked back.

"Keep attacking, disrupt their rhythm, keep attacking!"

Pan Yi shouted loudly at the players, signaling them to continue to press, continue to attack, and don't show mercy.

The current Wolfsburg lack the control of the midfield, and once they are pressed, it is easy to fall into chaos.

So, under the command of Pan Yi, Chelsea continued to launch a fierce attack on Wolfsburg.

Two minutes after the goal, Azpilicueta suddenly smashed into the penalty area from the right rib and fired a straight shot, shocking everyone into a cold sweat.

Just a minute later, Cancelo's sudden cross from the left flank was met by Abraham.

But the angle of this shot was too right, and it was directly saved by Benaglio.

The ball was still on the left side of the penalty area, Cancelo followed up and pushed the ball directly, trying to push it into the far corner, but was blocked by Draxle, who returned in time, and slid out.

It even almost resulted in an own goal.

Goretzka takes a corner and Ake heads it just over the bar.

In the ten minutes after the goal, Chelsea almost formed a furious attack on Wolfsburg, and the attack was wave after wave, wave after wave, pressing Wolfsburg to play.

It looks as if it was the opponent who just scored.

Wolfsburg was beaten to the point where they could barely parry.

This is mainly due to Chelsea's firm grip on the midfield, especially when it comes to passing the ball, and Wolfsburg's midfield is hardly a threat to Chelsea.

Tonight's game, from Gustavo to Kreuzer, to Schurrle and Draxler, and even the two high school forwards Bendtner and Dost, all tried very hard to get the ball, but it was still almost meaningless, and Chelsea still firmly controlled the ball.

For these players, the opportunity to play in the Champions League is actually rare and they cherish it very much.

After all, Wolfsburg is not a traditional giant, and even in the Bundesliga, they cannot consistently finish in the top four, which means that they cannot participate in the highest level of competition such as the Champions League every year.

So once they have the opportunity to participate, they will use all their strength.

But the problem is that today's opponent is Chelsea.

They couldn't compete with Chelsea in terms of possession and tempo, so they had to fall into passivity and fall behind in the scoreline.

Chelsea were firmly in control and were constantly looking for opportunities.

It's just that they actually have some problems.

First of all, although the two young players in the front line are full of momentum and speed, they are a little inexperienced after all, and they are sometimes a little frizzy in the handling of the last kick;

The second is today's midfield, like Goretzka and Nemanja Matic, who can bring more strong pressing and pressing in midfield, but whether it is the ability to move forward or the ability to pass at the end, it is obviously not as good as Hazard or B.

Eden Hazard, in particular, when he was on the pitch, his speed with the ball and his creativity in the final pass, especially the insight to get into the gaps in the opposition defence, was something that neither midfielder possessed.

Goretzka and Nemanja Matic are the kind of players who are more rigorous and more responsive to their tasks, but they also lack the spirit of Eden Hazard or B.

Therefore, sometimes when the ball reaches the front court, it will be too mechanical when passing the ball, which will lead to the Wolfsburg players seeing through it, resulting in a failure to form a threat.

Of course, Pan Yi naturally understands this situation.

But now that they are a one-goal lead, they don't need Hazard or Bench B to play.

Let the current lineup kick more and run in more, which will definitely be good for future games.

In fact, Chelsea are still playing a lively game right now.

Although there was no goal again until the end of the first half, the attacking frenzy was still a delight for the entire Chelsea crowd at Stamford Bridge!

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

As we entered the second half, especially from the 60th minute, it was clear to everyone that Wolfsburg's performance had dropped significantly.

This is actually a bit undeserved.

Because the season has just begun, it is the time when the players are at their best, and although they have experienced two consecutive weeks of international breaks, followed by two games in a week, it is not enough to last only 60 minutes and then drop significantly.

A more plausible explanation is that Chelsea are putting too much pressure on them.

These young players rushed up with a roar, and even the Wolfsburg players, who were already very motivated, couldn't stand it.

Then again, who teams in the world can withstand Chelsea's frenzied pressing and attacking at Stamford Bridge right now?

But Black Gold clearly still wants to be able to struggle.

He replaced Schurrle with young German midfielder Trent Alexander-Arnold.

He had hoped that Schurrle would use his familiarity with his old clubs to make a difference, but it turned out to be the opposite, with the Chelsea players using their knowledge of Schurrle to set a trap......

As a result, Xu Sanduo was lost at Stamford Bridge.

But the problem now is that it's not just Schurrle who is underplaying.

With the overall tempo controlled by Chelsea, it's not easy to change anyone.

In the 80th minute, Gary Cahill made a sudden tackle and intercepted the ball.

After stealing the ball, Cahill passed the ball to Azpilicueta.

Cesar Azpilicueta dribbled forward from the inside and, near the halfway line, played the ball to Goretzka, and sprinted forward quickly and decisively to make a one-two.

Goretzka didn't get it in time, stopped the ball and took two steps forward when he saw Gustavo pressing towards him.

So Goretzka immediately took it to the right, and Mbappe had already pulled the edge and stuck to the right touchline, raising his hand to receive the ball.

Goretzka did not hesitate, and a diagonal pass landed on the line that Mbappe inserted diagonally.

Then, Mbappe started again!

There was a wave of exclamation across Stamford Bridge.

'Chelsea have a beautiful combination on the right. Goretzka passed to Mbappe and it was an empty moment! ”

Mbappe stepped forward quickly, stopped Goretzka's pass in front of him, and then chased after it quickly.

The surrounding Wolfsburg defense turned out to be a vacuum, and Mbappe dribbled the ball diagonally into the Wolfsburg penalty area.

At this time, several Wolfsburg players returned to the front of the penalty area, and Vieirinha went straight to Mbappe.

And Mbappe slowed down slightly at this time, and his eyes were firmly locked on Vierinha.

When he saw Vierinha lunging towards him, he was ready to kick the ball towards Vierinha's right side.

Vierinha didn't expect Mbappe to come suddenly, and in a big surprise, he immediately turned around and wanted to chase after him.

But at this time, Mbappe suddenly started and when he turned, he went straight from his left side to the penalty area as fast as he could.

In the very short time that Vierinha turned, the ball was already on the right side of the penalty area, and Mbappe also went straight into the box as fast as he could, catching up with the kick he had just kicked.

"It's a ball! Mbappe actually completed a man-ball pass in such a small space! His speed is truly amazing! ”

At this time, Benaglio, the goalkeeper in front of the Wolfsburg goal, also seemed to be frightened by Mbappe's breakthrough, and stayed there for a while, but did not attack in time.

Mbappe didn't hesitate either, and after getting the ball again, he directly put out his trademark shot and shot sideways!

The ball sticks to the turf and goes into the goal.

“goalllllllllllllllllllll！

！

！

”

"Two to zero!

！ ”

'Chelsea have breached Wolfsburg again.'

"Another brilliant breakthrough for Mbappe, this time he scored by himself!"

"It's definitely a wonderful display of Mbappe's individual ability!"

"One pass and one shot, Mbappe has become the brightest star at Stamford Bridge today!"

Chelsea players rushed out of the pitch to celebrate the goal with Kylian Mbappe.

So far, there is basically no suspense in the game.

And so it is.

The game ended 2-0 with Chelsea getting the Champions League off to a flying start with a secure home win over VfL Wolfsburg!
