The seventh round of the Premier League has a big game in the spotlight, but it wasn't Newcastle United vs. Chelsea.

Tottenham beat Manchester City 4-1 at home in this round, but it was not the most watched in this round.

It's Lyicester City's home game against Arsenal!

It's back to Pan Yi, who told him that Lyrcester City would be the toughest and most dangerous team for Chelsea this season?

People come to Fort City to really compete, with three wins and three draws in six rounds, and they have been unbeaten.

But many people also believe that this result of Lyrc City is watery.

The reason is simple, in the first six rounds, they have beaten teams in the middle and lower reaches of the table like Sunderland, West Ham United and Aston Villa, and they have not taken advantage of Bournemouth, Stoke City and especially against Tottenham, and ended in a draw.

And today, Arsenal can just test the quality of Lyster City to see if they are as good as Pan Yi said?

The final result of the game seems to prove that the Premier League is still the world of big6!

Despite Vardy's brace, Alexis Sanchez scored a hat-trick from Arsenal's side, while Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud also scored a goal each in a 5-2 away win for Arsenal.

As a result, Lyicester City suddenly fell to 9th place in the standings.

Although it is a very good position compared to last season, there is still a big gap with the "big dark horse" predicted by Pan Yi.

In this regard, more and more people believe that Pan Yi brought out Stercheng to show his contempt for big6.

How can such a team that just reached the Premier League last season and was almost relegated become a contender for a Champions League place or even the Premier League title in one leap?

Compared with the investment of BIG6, a small team like Lyicester City, which only invested 20 or 30 million in the transfer market, is really pediatric.

And the current Premier League table says so: the big six are in the top six, followed by West Ham United and Everton, and then Lyicester City.

But for such a statement, Pan Yi said:

'It's normal for the team to have ups and downs, but I still think Ranieri's team still has a lot of potential. I've put my words here, if any team underestimates them, they will definitely suffer a big loss! ”

The main thing is that Lyicester City's performance this season is really good, at least not much different from Pan Yi's previous life.

This also shows that although N'Golo Kante is missing from the Lyicester City lineup, after adding Mikel, Ranieri has also fine-tuned it according to the actual situation of the players, so that it has also quickly integrated into the tactical system of Lyicester City.

In terms of the player's individual ability, Kante is certainly better than Mikel, but Kante, who came to Forster City in his previous life, was only a sapper after all, and Mikel can also do it better.

If you had to pick the most important man from the 'Lyicester Miracle', manager Claudio Ranieri would certainly be first, followed by Jamie Vardy and then Riyad Mahrez.

These three people, one is the best manager in the Premier League, one is the Premier League Golden Boot, and the other is the best player in the Premier League.

Then, it may be N'Golo Kante's turn, and this "fourth most important man", goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel Jr. will compete with him.

In short, the core of the current team has not changed much, and Ranieri has used the team's tactics very well, so the overall results will definitely not be much different from the previous life.

This is the "fact" that Pan Yi can predict as a traverser and a master tactician.

As for whether others believe it or not...... He believed it anyway.

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

After three days at Newcastle United, Chelsea are in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

The whole team departed for Porto, Portugal, and visited the Dragon Stadium.

Porto's manager is Spaniard Julen Lopetegui, who lined up a 4-4-1-1 formation against Chelsea.

It is clear that with Chelsea gaining momentum in the past two years, coaches across Europe are also looking at how to restrain Chelsea.

And for many of the weaker teams, it is clear that putting on a defensive set of tactics is the most likely way to score points against Chelsea.

At the forefront is Cameroonian striker Aboubakar, who Porto uses to counter-attack.

Once the game began, Chelsea's rush was blocked by Porto.

It's clear that Julen Lopetegui has studied Chelsea's attacking approach in great detail and has done an excellent job of setting up the defence in a very good manner.

The protection of almost four midfielders, combined with the backline and the active support of attacking players up front, has caused Chelsea's attack to be in trouble and it can be considered a hard time again.

The first half ended 0-0.

Chelsea controlled possession and tempo, dominated the pitch and created a number of chances on goal, but were unable to break the deadlock and take the lead.

This was a disappointment for Chelsea throughout the country.

Pan Yi has long been mentally prepared for this situation.

No way, when you become a strong man, everyone will use the same method as a strong man against you, instead of letting you play your offensive strength wantonly.

At half-time, he switched places between Hazard and B, who moved to the left and Hazard to the right.

The same goes for the forward line.

Pan Yi told Harry Kane and Lukaku to keep running, both vertically and horizontally, so as to create space.

"The tighter the opponent's defense, the more we have to keep pulling it and creating more holes."

Pan Yi also asked everyone to be patient and not rush no matter what.

And such a midfield adjustment clearly worked.

After the restart-up in the second half, Chelsea's attack was still chased and blocked by Porto, but there was a noticeable improvement, and the number of dangerous shots on goal began to increase.

In the 61st minute of the game, Hazard and B suddenly appeared on the left side at the same time, and the two played a tacit two-one-one cooperation, allowing Hazard to carry the ball along the left side and make a quick attack.

Although the opposing defender Pereira chased all the way, Hazard suddenly made a sharp stop when he rushed to the left side of the penalty area, and dunked the ball back, causing Pereira to lose his center of gravity and slip to the ground.

Eden Hazard then scrambled to get the ball back to the edge of the box.

At this moment, Lukaku was already standing near the penalty spot, blocking the opposition central defender Marcano with his body and stopping Hazard's pass.

But Markano's defense was also in place, not letting Lukaku turn around, coupled with the return of players such as Neves and Layun, forcing Lukaku to use his body to protect the ball and then quickly return to Harry Kane.

Harry Kane didn't stop the ball and hit the goal with his right foot.

'Harry Kane shoots, but Porto goalkeeper Casillas makes a crucial save!'

"This Spanish goalkeeper, who transferred from Real Madrid to Porto after more than ten years, is still playing very steadily!"

'Harry Kane's right-footed shot was very sudden, but Casillas saved the ball.

"A brilliant save!"

However, the ball landed after it was saved...... Still at the feet of the Chelsea players! ”

'Bernardo Silva was very fast, he poked the ball before Ruben Neves could break it out of the danger zone, then followed up quickly and then volleyed ......

"The ball is in!

！ The score has been rewritten! ”

'Bernardo Silva scored the crucial goal. The shot was so close that even Casillas, who reacted so quickly, couldn't save the ball again! ”

'Oh my God, Chelsea's attack is truly amazing! In my career, it's really rare to see players on both sides squeezing to one side and then playing together. ”

"And after the B seat and Hazard finished playing, they quickly inserted into the penalty area, and cut diagonally from the right rib to the right side of the goal, and then picked up the leak and scored this goal!"

'Of course, Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane also played a big part in the process, and the attacking quartet worked together beautifully!'

'Tonight, at the Stade de la Dragon, against Porto's tight defence, Chelsea still took a chance.

"Next, it's up to Porto to fight back."

"Chelsea have a one-goal lead, and Pan Yi is ready to make substitutions. I believe that after he gets the score advantage, he will better control the situation on the field. ”

'Porto also have to think about whether to try to score goals.

"Three days ago in the Premier League, Newcastle United fought back after conceding a goal, but soon conceded a second goal.

"Julen Lopetegui has to think about it now, is Porto going to press it out?"

Lopetegui is not McLaren after all, and he is more cautious.

He made just one substitution, replacing Aboubakar with Italian striker Osvaldo, in an attempt to break through the Chelsea defence with a more direct approach to finding a striker at the back.

But in this way, it is really difficult to find any opportunities in front of Chelsea's three centre-backs who are very solid defensively.

In the end, Chelsea beat Porto 1-0 away with a goal to win two consecutive group stage games.

Pan Yi also breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and high-fived and hugged all the Chelsea players who came off the field one by one.

Although it was only one goal to win, it was enough.

A 7:0 game is not as good as a 1:0 game in seven games, and the most important thing is to get three points.

(Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp in the future will surely know this.) ）

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

Returning to London from Porto, Pan Yi will soon be preparing for two consecutive Premier League home games.

One against Southampton and the other against Aston Villa.

However, when it is said to be "continuous", it is not actually continuous.

Because after Southampton, it's another two weeks of international breaks.

For Pan Yi, on the one hand, he can find an opportunity to relax and take a vacation, and on the other hand, he has to consider adjusting the physical fitness and state of the players.

This is because the season is often especially intense after the international break, especially for teams with European assignments.

Chelsea, for example, have to play Aston Villa, Lyon, West Ham United in a row, then Stoke City in the Carabao Cup, then Liverpool in the Premier League, then Lyon in the Champions League and Arsenal in the Premier League.

There are seven games in total, and the tournament will take place from October 17 to November 8, which is almost 21 days.

In other words, an average of one game every three days, and this includes strong teams like Liverpool, Arsenal and Lyon.

But there is no way, since the flag was set before the season to win the seven crowns, I have to finish it with tears.

The N-line battle is the N-line battle, let's kick it one by one!

In the eighth round of the Premier League, Chelsea played Southampton at home.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman is now an old friend of Pan Yi, and he has led the team to quite good results in the past two seasons.

This is also due to his tactical thinking of "being able to bend and stretch".

The team that can play well will engage in pass control and attack-oriented; The team that can't be kicked is Gou, let the front Pei come and steal.

Chelsea, of course, are classified as 'unplayable'.

Mainly with Chelsea's current tactical system and overall strength, it is really difficult for other teams to get a chance.

Pan Yi can only let the players control the ball well and patiently deal with the opponent.

It wasn't until the second half, when Southampton's players' fitness was exhausted in desperate defence, that Chelsea began to really pull in.

In the 70th minute, Moses broke through on the side and crossed the bottom, but the ball flew into the Southampton goal by mistake, 1:0.

In the 75th minute, Lukaku received an assist from Eden Hazard.

In the 89th minute, substitute Kurt Zouma took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to score.

In the end, Chelsea won 3-0 at home to Southampton.

All three goals, all after 70 minutes.

This is one of Pan Yi's two strategies against teams that focus on defense.

One is to grab the start and strive for early goals;

The second is to grind slowly, and then attack with all your strength after the opponent's fighting spirit and physical strength are almost exhausted, so that it will be relatively easy to break through the opponent's defense.

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

After the eighth round of the Premier League, it was a two-week international break.

And this is Pan Yi's rare vacation.

But now his holiday plans are simple: go to Yorkshire to find Valentina.

On vacation, of course, I want to accompany my lover, and it's impossible to go anywhere to spend time drinking.

The main thing is that this kind of national team match day has nothing to do with the League Two team, the league should be played or played, and Valentina will not take a holiday.

Fortunately, York is also a historical and cultural city, and it is a famous tourist city in the United Kingdom - it is the most visited city in the United Kingdom after London, so there are many places to visit and places to eat, even if you come every time, you will not get tired of it.

Accompany Valentina to visit the ruins of the Viking City in her spare time, check out the antiquities at York Castle Museum, listen to a performance at the National Centre for Ancient Music, and buy some Harry Potter wands......

Finally, find a medieval hotel and have a battle full of artillery fire, and the good day is over.

During this period, Pan Yi of course also watched the York City game live.

After all, for Pan Yi now, watching the football game in York City is both work and life.

York City played Cambridge United at home and scored two goals in a row after conceding a goal in the opening game to win 2-1.

Although the young center forward Mark Baker did not score in the game, he played a significant role as a fulcrum in the front line, greatly restraining the opponent's defensive strength and creating space for his teammates to score.

This also made Pan Yi more convinced that his operation of buying Baker was very correct.

The reason why Pan Yi had such "lack of confidence" before was mainly because the purchase of Baker was different from all his previous transfer operations.

Whether it was Van Dijk and Salah in Milan at the earliest, or De Bruyne and Casemiro in Hamburg, or Harry Kane after coming to Chelsea, Mbappe, no matter who it was, was the result of Pan Yi opening the "eye in the sky".

Each of these players is a well-known world-class star in Pan Yi's previous life, Pan Yi bought them into the team in advance, and then used the most suitable tactics for them in the system to use them, and also used the most suitable training methods for them to make them improve, of course, all of them are twice the result with half the effort.

But what about this Baker, in Pan Yi's previous life, he was almost a player at the level of League Two.

In the early days, he played in League One with Calisle United, but he was not a regular player, and then the team was relegated, and he basically played in League Two.

Later, he even played in a lower-level national league, in short, the level is like this, and it is not at all the same level as the future big-name stars in Pan Yi's hands before.

This also made Pan Yi a little curious, and he even wanted to do an experiment.

That is, if an average young player like Baker is given enough playing time and the right training methods, will he be more successful than he would be in the normal timeline?

Or to put it another way, can Pan Yi bring York City to the Championship and Premier League like a football manager game, and players like Baker can still keep up with the level and play in the upper leagues with the team, instead of being eliminated quickly?

This is really something that Pan Yi has not done before.

A day later, when Pan Yi accompanied Valentina to work at York City Club, he asked Scaloni about Baker's situation.

"He's working at the gym." Scaloni laughed: "He's a very hardworking young man and he really appreciates the opportunity to start. ”

Pan Yi nodded slightly.

In the current York City, Baker is a special player.

Because most of the main players in York City are "old men" over 30 years old, only Baker can play as a young man.

For veterans, their training is often just about keeping their physical condition from slipping, or making them slide more slowly, and maintaining the physical fitness needed for the game.

But there is still a lot of room for improvement in the young players, both physically and technically.

In particular, it is also crucial for an air-tying player like Baker to constantly improve his physical strength to better stand in the box.

Therefore, when Scaloni formulated his training plan, he also focused on allowing Baker to develop his core strengths, including bounce ability and header ability, so that he could really stand out in League Two.

Obviously, Baker is also very competitive.

According to Scaloni, Baker will not only complete the training arranged by the coaching staff on time and in quantity, but will also arrange for himself to practice after the training session.

This also made Pan Yi feel very gratified.

He himself said that although he has been training hard all these years, it seems that he has achieved little success. In my judgment, the training of clubs in the lower leagues is relatively unprofessional, including the eating habits and the entire life and rest of the players. ”

Scaloni continued: "When he came to us, he felt very comfortable, the results were very obvious, and he was very energetic. ”

In this new season, Pan Yi has brought not only new managers and new players to York City, but more importantly, the most advanced management concepts and training methods.

Although the training facilities, especially the training grounds, have not been able to make major improvements for the time being, Pan Yi still managed to gradually poach coaches, team doctors, and data analysts from some Championship and even Premier League teams.

It can be said that the current training level of York City is absolutely unique in League Two, even if it is compared with the Championship and Premier League teams, the hardware part may still be insufficient, but the software part is not lagging behind.

Take Baker as an example, his diet was uncontrollable in the past, he ate whatever he liked, he ate whenever he liked, and his life and rest were not particularly regular.

But that all changed when I came to Yorktown.

He is a striker who feeds on his body, and the necessary dietary changes must be carried out at the same time before he wants to strengthen his muscles.

Therefore, with the advice of the team's nutrition experts, a detailed plan was developed for Beck's situation from the perspectives of medicine, sports science and physiotherapy rehabilitation.

Specifically, it is to increase the intake of milk and high-protein foods, and after training and competitions, cooperate with the gym bicycles, foam rollers, bathing areas and other training facilities to help him recover and strengthen his body.

"I'm going to get the club to make the bathing area hot and cold as soon as possible, and buy another freezer room, which will be better for the players to recover." Pan Yi also promised.

He has also led the team for a few years, although he didn't know much about these more professional player recovery methods at first, but he has been around Pintus, Wohlfath and others for a long time, and he is naturally familiar with it, and now he is also a professional in sports recovery.

The recovery of the players is of course very important.

Better recovery, better training and playing, or more intense training, of course faster progress, and injuries are less likely to find players.

Pan Yi is also stepping up to improve the club's facilities so that they can keep up with York City's progress.

"Okay, thank you, boss." Scaloni laughed, and then he asked, "I feel like you care about this Baker, can you tell me why?" ”

Pan Yi asked rhetorically: "Do you think there is anything special about this person?" ”

"Something special...... "Scaloni thought for a moment, then replied honestly, "to be honest, nothing special. He is not particularly talented, but he is physically strong and willing to endure hardships. ”

Pan Yi smiled and said, "That's enough." In the world of football, not everyone is a talented player like Maradona, Ronaldinho, Messi. ”

"More of them, it's ordinary people like Baker who work the court with their own efforts. Many of them never play in the top league in their lifetimes, and even more so in the professional game. ”

"Sometimes I think, just like this ordinary person, how far can they go? Could it be that they are not as talented as others, so they are useless? ”

"Is it true that a player like Baker can't survive, gain a foothold and even succeed in the top professional leagues?"

"I don't have an answer to that question. But I wanted to try it and see what heights he could eventually reach with his efforts and our right guidance. ”

"Did Baker have any talent? In fact, there are also those who have a strong ability to compete for the top, which is also a talent in itself. But I still want to see if it is possible for him to change his life through his own efforts, from the lower leagues to the Championship or even the Premier League? ”

Scaloni understood.

This is the boss has special expectations and sustenance for Baker.

One of the most important reasons why football is the most popular sport in the world is that it allows all types of players to play their part on the pitch.

Messi can score goals with five people in a row, Cristiano Ronaldo can kick a 40-meter super blast, I Baker can't do that, but I can score by a burst in the box.

Football has never been a game for the most talented elites, and the league at the highest level should not just be a stage for talented people to perform, it will also give some space and opportunities to relatively ordinary people like Baker.

If Baker did succeed, it would have to be a success in football.

Scaloni even thought of Jamie Vardy.

At the beginning, this young man who was still playing in the amateur league soared after being brought to the Bundesliga by Pan Yi, and now he is playing in the Premier League.

Vardy's talent must be average, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to play in the professional league at the age of 24 or 25.

But he relied on his speed and decisiveness to gain a foothold in the top flight.

And behind this, Vardy obviously also paid a lot of sweat, and Pan Yi witnessed it with his own eyes.

With Valdy Jewel in front, who's to say Baker can't do it?

Thinking about it, Scaloni was even a little excited.

Under Pan Yi's care and guidance, York City FC may become a soil for cultivating young players and a different youth guard.

And Baker, that's just the beginning!
