October 17th, afternoon.

Pan Yi, who has finished his vacation, and Chelsea players who have finished their international break, welcomed Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

The current Aston Villa team is also very distinctive, with a dog of speed in the front and an old man in the back.

At the back, it is led by former Arsenal player Senderos and former Manchester City player Lysteco;

In the frontcourt, on the left is the "shaker" Grealish, on the right is the strong and fast winger Adama Traore, who has just arrived from Barcelona, and in front is Abang Lajo and Jordan Ayew.

Perhaps it was this attacking combination that made Aston Villa manager Remy Garde think he could rush Chelsea.

Anyway, so many teams have not been able to hold on to Chelsea's attack, so it's better to give it a go!

So as soon as the game began, Aston Villa launched a wave of attacks against the main side.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were in no hurry and waited steadily for Aston Villa to press out.

Isn't that Chelsea's favourite style of play?

And with the international break just over, it was time to slow down the pace to get the players used to it.

Villa striker Agbonlaho had a good chance five minutes into the game, but he went a little wide when he received a pass from Jack Grealish and Courtois dropped off the ball and rushed to the edge of the box to get the ball on the line.

And in the 10th minute, Aston Villa was directly penetrated by a Chelsea counter-attack before they could see it.

Goretzka won the ball on the edge of the box and burst into the right side of the box to cross for Lukaku to kick in from near the penalty spot, but it was saved by goalkeeper Guzan and Eden Hazard followed up with a follow-up effort to open the scoring for Chelsea.

Since then, the game has been moving into Chelsea's rhythm and the Blues have launched a stormy attack.

In the 25th minute, a corner kick opportunity, Van Dijk's header was ferried, and Sendros cleared out of the penalty area.

Cesar Azpilicueta chested the ball on the edge of the area and slotted it back into the box.

Romelu Lukaku grabbed the first drop and headed home from close range to make it 2-0 for Chelsea!

After the re-play in the second half, Chelsea launched another wave of attacks.

Just over a minute into the opening period, Jesse Lingard picked up a cross from the edge of the box, the Aston Villa defender cleared the ball and Hazard scored with ease.

In the 78th minute, Hazard sent a wonderful pass, Lukaku kicked the goal from the left side of the penalty area and caused the goalkeeper to get out of his hands again, Goretzka followed up in the middle and pushed the score again!

4:0, a hearty victory!

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

There is also a key battle between the big6 in this round, with Tottenham drawing 0-0 at home to Liverpool.

After nine rounds, both teams are a bit behind, with Tottenham in seventh place and Liverpool only in tenth!

Tottenham is okay, after all, after selling Harry Kane, fans don't expect much from their home team's results, just scolding Levy every day.

But Liverpool fans have a hard time accepting it.

After all, they have a big operation in the summer window, and the addition of Bentekeke, Firmino, Crane, Milner and others not only cost the club nearly 100 million euros in transfer fees, but also makes fans think that the Reds will be able to rise again this season.

And now, the results of 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses are really unsatisfactory.

In addition, Liverpool is also hard to find a win in this season's Europa League, drawing 1:1 with France's Bordeaux and Switzerland's Sion, which has also become an important reason for Liverpool fans' dissatisfaction with the team.

In response, Liverpool officials were quick to respond.

Former head coach Rodgers is out of class!

And the replacement of Rodgers is none other than the former Dortmund manager, Jurgen Klopp!

Although Liverpool did not disclose the exact length and amount of the contract in the statement, according to British media reports, the two sides signed a contract for at least three years and possibly four years, with an annual salary of more than £4 million.

The 48-year-old German coach will continue his career in the Premier League after a short break from Borussia Dortmund.

At the same time, he will also welcome his old rival in the Premier League - Pan Yi.

In two rounds, Liverpool will be at Anfield to take on the challenge of Premier League champions Chelsea!

Klopp also said in an interview: "It's a pleasure to be with Pan Yi in the Premier League, I've been looking forward to this day. ”

"It's always difficult to face Pan Yi, and this time is no exception. But now I'm with a different team and hopefully this time it will be different. ”

"Of course I want to be successful at Liverpool, but I'm not Pan Yi, I'm just an ordinary one."

"Please give me time to work, but I'm sitting here for the next four years and I think we're going to win a championship, I'm pretty sure. If I can't get it, maybe my next stop will be to coach in Switzerland. ”

In this regard, the Liverpool Echo also believes that the addition of Klopp can definitely bring something new to Liverpool, and this change of coach is definitely a positive.

And Pan Yi also welcomed Klopp's arrival.

'I've known Jurgen for a long time, he's a very personal manager and he led the young Borussia Dortmund to the Bundesliga title, which I think is a great achievement. I also believe that he can lead Liverpool back to the glory of the past. ”

When Pan Yi said this, the words changed: "But that is also the day when I am not in the Premier League......"

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

Chelsea have three games to deal with before the start of this 'old Bundesliga coach showdown' between Liverpool and Chelsea.

The first is the third round of the Champions League group stage away to Lyon.

In the first two rounds, Lyon drew 2-2 at home to Porto and then beat Wolfsburg 2-0 away, finishing second behind Chelsea with one win and one draw.

This means that this next battle will be a key battle for the top spot in the group.

Lyon's head coach Fournier says Chelsea are strong, but at his home stadium, Parc Olympic, he is confident his players will be able to win the game.

】

"We will show determination and prove that we are the team that deserves to be the best in the group!"

When the reporter asked him to predict the trend of the group stage, Fournier smiled and said: "Of course, I and Pan Yi joined hands to qualify." We went first, Chelsea took second and I think that's the perfect result. ”

And it turns out that Fournier's words cannot be said to be nonsense with his eyes closed.

Because when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game in the Parc Olimpico stadium in Lyon, the number on the scoreboard showed 1:0, and it was actually Lyon who was ahead!

The broadcast camera immediately focused on the away team's coach's seat, only to see Pan Yi shaking his head helplessly.

That's because, in the first half, Chelsea wasted too many chances and falling behind was really not too easy to accept.

The attacking strength of this Lyon team is mainly based on the front trident, Fekir, Lacazette, and Valbiena.

They took advantage of their home advantage from the start to press Chelsea with intensity.

However, Chelsea were anti-visitors this time, aggressively battling Lyon for control of the midfield and gradually gaining the upper hand.

Within ten minutes, Chelsea had created three great chances.

In the fifth minute, after Hazard won the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area, he shook Lyon captain Gonaron and hit the goal, but the shot was blocked by Rafael with his body, and the broken line fell to the left side of the penalty area.

After this ill-luck shot, the Chelsea players seemed to be cursed, and one shot after another missed the crosshairs.

In the eighth minute, it was Hazard's pass, this time it was Lukaku's kick from the left side of the box, but the shot went straight high.

Obviously, Lukaku was a bit affected by the fact that he had just blocked a team-mate's must-score, and his mentality was a little bit rushed.

Two minutes later, David Luiz suddenly advanced with the ball, picked up the ball behind the defence, and the B seat cut in at high speed to form a single knife, and after stopping the ball on his chest, he volleyed it high, and the result was also high.

After Chelsea's three very dangerous shots, Lyon yet had a single real shot on target.

But it was the home team that scored first.

In the 13th minute, Lyon gave the Blues the first blow after Chelsea had missed three chances in a row.

Lyon seized a counter-attacking opportunity when Valbiena delivered a lethal through ball and Alexandre Lacazette was near the line of the box and slotted the ball past Thibaut Courtois to the empty net.

1 to 0!

Lyon took the lead at home.

Chelsea then launched an even more aggressive attack on Lyon.

Although the scene was passive, even embarrassing, Lyon still showed tenacity.

In particular, Portugal goalkeeper Anthony Lopes saved a long-range shot from Harry Kane and a close-range header from Lukaku to keep the goal intact.

The two sides went into the break with a score of 1:0.

Pan Yi made a rare blow dryer in the dressing room and criticized the performance of the players, especially the attacking group in front of goal.

And then...... Pan Yi handed the microphone to Arteta and let this PPT master give his passionate speech.

I saw Arteta take out a light cannon out of nowhere and light it up!

Then Tazi Ge said:

"Edison invented the light bulb. Today I want to see the whole team connect because the light bulb can't shine on its own. I want to see a close-knit, sparkling team. ”

'You've got to pass the light, the energy, the enthusiasm to your team-mates, and we've all got to connect with each other in the game, and when we do that, boys, do you know what's going to happen?'

'We're also connecting all the Chelsea fans who support us, so what's next? They will give us more energy. Finally, the bulb can be energized, generating light and vitality by generating heat. Because if you can't do that, it's going to be dark here. ”

'I want you to play like you did today and as long as we focus on one thing, the team will get better and better. Attitude is what makes us different and today I want you to play with that attitude. ”

"Get me out, TM turn the lights on, it's time to get on the pitch and score the goals we should score, letsgo!"

Although Pan Yi doesn't really understand the close connection between this game and the lantern, he still doesn't know what the connection is.

Because after listening to Arteta's speech, the players all rushed out of the dressing room with a scream!

Then, sure enough, the score was quickly equalized.

This time it was Harry Kane who dropped back to get the ball, receiving it and playing it back to N'Golo Kante, before slotting in quickly diagonally to the right of the box.

N'Golo Kante distributed the ball to the right and B-seat got the ball first and shook off a Lyon player before sending in a short ball.

Harry Kane got on the ball again, this time with a powerful right-footed volley into the top corner, which left Anthony Lopes with to watch the ball go into the net.

1:1, the two sides are back on the same starting line again.

After the equalizer, Pan Yi asked everyone in the team to stay calm and patiently control the pace of the game.

That's when Lyon in turn launched an all-out attack, because they really want to get three points at home!

But that gave Chelsea more space.

So in the 70th minute, Lyon's defence was breached by a quick Chelsea counter-attack.

Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard combined exquisitely up front, pushing the ball from their own box to Lyon within seconds, and finally Hazard on the left side of the box shook off Mbiwa and then calmly slotted home the shot.

1:2, Chelsea overtook the score!

This score also lasted until the end of the game.

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

In the other match of the group stage, which ended at the same time, Wolfsburg beat Porto 2-0.

After three rounds, Chelsea are top with nine points from three wins, followed by Lyon on second with four points, followed by Wolfsburg with three points and Porto with one point.

This is largely in line with the media's pre-match predictions.

That is Chelsea coming out on top, with the other three teams battling it out for second place in the group.

There's no way around it, who put you in a group with Chelsea?

Pan Yi is still very good at being a man, he doesn't favor any team, and he won all anyway.

Which of you can make it out depends on whether you can beat your direct competitors!

And for Chelsea, the away win against Lyon is still valuable.

As long as they return to their home stadium to win against Lyon again in the next round, they will basically secure the top spot in the group.

In this way, the pressure of multi-front play will be much less, because the next two group games will be less important.

Of course, it's best to win, after all, for every Champions League group stage win, there are still more than two million prize money.

In fact, playing under such low pressure doesn't mean you will lose – because the players play more relaxed, they may play at a better level.

For Pan Yi, the victory in this game has another significance: Arteta's dressing room lecture is so useful, he will let Tazi come in the future!

I have led the team to play so many games, and all kinds of methods to boost morale have been used, maybe the players are a little tired.

It just so happens that Brother Tazi has a lot of methods, so let him try more, and he can just talk about the team's tactics with peace of mind.

Premier League chief PPT mobilization master, it's really not covered!

Hey, how is it a bit like when I was in Milan, when head coach Allegri often handed things over to assistant coach Pan Yi to deal with......

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

On October 24, in the tenth round of the Premier League, Chelsea played West Ham United away.

"Rock Coach" Bilic has only started coaching the Hammers this season, and he has brought good results.

After nine games, West Ham United are fifth in the table, behind Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City.

However, in this game, under Chelsea's fierce attack, the Hammers still lost.

Chelsea missed a chance in the eighth minute when N'Golo Kante's powerful shot from 12 yards after flashing past Noble in the box was saved by West Ham goalkeeper Randolph.

The Blues then took the lead on 11 minutes when West Ham failed to clear a free-kick and a corner, when Cancelo's diagonal cross from the left was met by Loftus-Cheek on the edge of the box before Reid headed the ball into the net close to the right-hand post.

After that, West Ham United began to increase their attacking firepower, and the two sides engaged in fierce attacking battles.

Mbappe was blocked on the counter-attack and then crossed back, and Kante's long-range shot from 30 yards was brilliantly saved by Randolph.

N'Golo Kante then linked up with Goretzka to kick the wall after a steal, and the French midfielder had a chance to shoot on the left side of the box, but he finally opted for a cross, but was intercepted and cleared.

West Ham came close to equalising in the 31st minute when Antonio cut inside from the left side of the box and crossed for Lanzini to bounce wide of the back corner from 10 yards out.

Payet's free-kick from a tight angle on the left was then saved by Courtois.

Chelsea missed a chance to double their lead just before half-time when Virgil van Dijk crossed for Jesse Lingard to win the ball and cross diagonally down the middle, for Romelu Lukaku to shoot high from 12 yards.

In the second half, Chelsea really doubled the lead in the 48th minute!

Jesse Lingard broke free from Reid's defence on the right and crossed to the back post, Loftus-Cheek's shot from a tight angle was saved by Randolph, then Kante passed the ball from outside the area and Azpilicueta fired into the bottom left corner from the edge of the box on the right to make it 2-0.

With 65 minutes played, Tammy Abraham and Eden Hazard came off the bench.

In the 74th minute, David Luiz played a long pass, Abraham stopped the ball beautifully but lost the angle, he returned the ball in time, but the unguarded Hazard shot wide from 10 yards.

In the 81st minute, Abraham made a direct pass, and Hazard's shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area bounced off the crossbar.

West Ham were expected to open the scoring two minutes later when Payet's cross from the left was headed wide of the right-hand post by Ayew from close range.

In the 84th minute, Hazard passed through and Abraham, who broke away from Ogbonna's defense, fired a one-handed shot into the near corner from eight yards on the right side of the penalty area.

In the 89th minute, Hazard was tripped by Reid on the left side of the penalty area after receiving a through pass, and the referee refused to award a penalty.

In stoppage time, Payet's shot from the edge of the box was tipped over the crossbar by Courtois in what was the last attack of the game for either side.

At the end of the game, Chelsea beat West Han United away and took all three points again!

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

After the Hammers, Chelsea travelled to Stoke City for the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, the knockout round of 16.

Stoke City, which has fallen into a relegation battle this season, chose to rotate in the League Cup, and Pan Yi also rotated most of the players.

In doing so, Chelsea's dominance in bench depth is unmistakable.

In the opening five minutes, Yin Bunovic fired a groundbreaking long-range shot down the right flank that cut through the Stoke gate.

Chelsea then went on the attack, scoring in quick succession in the 12th, 34th and 41st minutes to extend the score to 4-0.

Chelsea pulled back a little in the second half but scored two more goals to beat Stoke City 6-0 and progress to the next round.

Chelsea's starting goalkeeper Martin did not even make a single save in the game......

It's just that Yorktown wasn't so lucky.

They were also away to Manchester City, but were beaten 5-1 and eliminated.

This also led to the disappearance of the possibility of a "Pan Yi derby" in the League Cup.

But that's okay because York City can focus on the league.

In a few other matches, Everton drew 1-1 with Norwich City and then eliminated them on penalties.

Hull City drew 0-0 with Lyicester City and also passed through a penalty shootout.

There was also a penalty shoot-out between Tottenham and Middlesbrough, which resulted in Middlesbrough beating Tottenham to reach the quarter-finals.

Both of these are not big or small.

Sheffield Wednesday was a big upset, beating Arsenal 3-0.

Although Arsenal played as a rotation player, the loss to a Championship side by so many goals did make Arsene Wenger embarrassed.

The last two teams to reach the quarter-finals were Southampton and Liverpool, who beat Aston Villa and Bournemouth respectively.

The draw for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals was also quickly completed, with Chelsea picking a good draw for them to host Sheffield Wednesday.

The other three games are Middlesbrough vs Everton, Manchester City vs Hull City and Southampton vs Liverpool.

The quarter-finals will be played on 2 December, and Chelsea have a number of Premier League and Champions League games to play before then.

And the first Premier League game is on November 8, away to Liverpool!

This game is not just a direct dialogue between Chelsea and Liverpool, nor is it just a reunion between Pan Yi and Klopp in the Premier League.

So far, Chelsea's unbeaten record in the Premier League has reached 48!

In other words, as long as Chelsea can get out of the way at Anfield, they will equal Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run in '03!

It is precisely because of this background that this game has also received wide attention from fans all over the world!
