The draw between Chelsea and Leicester City has naturally caused widespread discussion in the outside world.

On the one hand, this game can be regarded as a test for the dark horse of Lyrcester City.

To be able to retreat in front of Chelsea, the quality of this dark horse is definitely enough!

This also proves that Pan Yi's "prediction" a long time ago is true, and Lyicester City is indeed capable enough to pose a threat to Chelsea.

Being able to climb to the second place in the standings is definitely not a sentence of luck that can be explained!

And the Sky Sports host is probably going to be unable to keep his pants when he comes to Inkel......

Chelsea, on the other hand, continued their unbeaten run by equalising towards the end of the game in extremely difficult circumstances.

It also shows that Chelsea, under the leadership of Pan Yi, can still adjust quickly and score the goals they need, even if they are sometimes inconsistent and unlucky.

This is the aura of a strong man, and it is also a temperament that has been slowly formed over the past year or so.

That is, no matter what the scene is on the pitch at the moment, what the score is, everyone at Chelsea always believes that things will go in their favor!

If you use the attributes in the game, all the players in this team are "willpower", "ability to resist pressure" and other mental attributes are off the charts!

Therefore, after this game, the major media and football forums are either in Qualist City or Chelsea.

It is rare that there are no losers after a match, and no one is "opened".

For the Chelsea guys, though, they don't have much time to care about what other people are saying.

Because this time their trip was really intense.

After the thrilling draw with Lyicester City, the team took a break and flew straight to Japan the next day.

All matches in this Club World Cup will be played at the Osaka Nagaju Land Arena and the Yokohama International Arena.

Chelsea's semi-final against Tsuneta Changshu was played in Yokohama, so of course they flew there.

Yokohama is an international port city in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture, facing the Pacific Ocean, and has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons and a small temperature difference between day and night.

In December, although it was already winter, it was still sunny most of the time, and it was not easy to see the snow.

Therefore, the overall weather is still relatively comfortable, and it is not particularly cold, which can be said to be quite comfortable.

The morning after arriving in Yokohama, the team had another training session, after which they were free to move.

On the one hand, the recent fixture schedule has been a bit tight, and after a shocking draw with Lyicester City, the players also need to relax.

On the other hand, a team like Changzhou Hengtai will honestly have a hard time threatening Chelsea.

Pan Yi has just entered his first year of professional football, and when he was an assistant coach at AC Milan, the first game he commanded was against Changzhou Hengtai.

At that time, Pan Yi's tactical knowledge was limited to Klopp's, and Milan's strength was honestly not as good as Chelsea's now.

Not to mention, young players like N'Golo Kante and Virgil van Dijk don't know how much they have grown in recent years.

In this way, Pan Yi still took Milan to sweep Changzhou Hengtai 6:0.

Therefore, in this Club World Cup semi-final, if you remove the factor that Changzhou Hengtai is a Dragon Country team, it will be just a business friendly match for Pan Yi, and there is basically no challenge.

In fact, in Pan Yi's previous life, Changzhou Hengtai had the opportunity to participate in the Club World Cup twice and also met the Champions League champion.

One time for Bayern, one time for Barcelona.

The two opponents are different, but what they have in common is that they have no chance in the whole game, and they are basically one-sided hanging.

In both games, only one Changzhou Hengtai player could barely hold the ball, once for Conca and once for Paulinho.

No way, the gap between Asian football and European football is so big, let alone a team dominated by Dragon Nation players......

As for potential finalist rivals River Plate, let's be honest, that's exactly what happened.

In recent years, the gap between the level of the European League and the South American League is getting bigger and bigger, and the South American League has basically become a place to help Europe discover and cultivate demons.

In the early days, the Toyota Cup (the predecessor of the Club World Cup), which was directly opposed by the Copa Libertadores and the European Champions Cup, also won and lost each other;

But since the 2007 Club World Cup was changed to its current format, the results have been largely one-sided.

From 2007 to 2022, once a year, in so many competitions, European clubs have only lost the championship once, and the rest are all won by them.

Oh, and who was the only one who lost the title and was the more embarrassing European champion?

Haha, it's Chelsea!

In Pan Yi's previous life, after they defeated Bayern Munich in the final of the 2011-2012 season to win the championship, they lost to Corinthians of Brazil in the Club World Cup and only won the runner-up, which can be said to be a shame for Europe.

But in this lifetime, it should be unlikely that such a situation will happen again.

Looking at the list of the River Plate team, Pan Yi only found a familiar player, that is, Saviola, the "rabbit" who was awarded the South American Footballer of the Year at the age of 18.

He rose to fame at a young age and was one of the few players to have played for Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But his career in European professional football was not going well, and he returned to his roots and returned to River Plate, where he played for his debut.

The 34-year-old is honestly limited in the threat he can pose, as was the case with Ronaldinho at Atletico Mineiro in 2013, when they didn't even make it to the final, resulting in a third-place final against Hengtai Changzhou.

Veterans can't do it, new stars can't do it?

A: No, no.

In 2011, Santos had a supernova Neymar who had not yet been poached, but they still lost 0:4 to Barcelona in the final - although this game was also a vote, and then Barcelona poached Neymar.

In short, it is generally difficult for the current South American teams to cause any substantial trouble to the Champions League champions.

So, Chelsea's visit to the Club World Cup is both a game and a relaxation.

Chelsea may also need to be wary of upsets, but at least they don't need to be as nervous as they were in the Champions League or the Premier League.

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

The day before the game, after a morning training session and a lunch break, the Chelsea squad set off for Chinatown.

Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in Japan and Asia, and is one of the three largest Chinatowns in Japan, along with Kobe's Nankinmachi and Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown.

It is a 140-year-old Chinese residential area, also known as "Chinatown".

Pan Yi was invited by the mayor of Yokohama to visit Chinatown.

The main reason is that Pan Yi's current popularity in Asia is too hot!

The head coach of the European championship is the only one in Asia, and there is no other branch, not to mention that Pan Yi also took the captain of the Japanese national team Makoto Hasebe when he was in Hamburg, and he is very popular in Japan.

It's actually quite understandable.

Like China, Japan and South Korea, don't look at you all day long and you don't obey me, I don't obey you, this will quarrel with that for a while, and this will fight with that for a while......

But if something special happens, everyone will still take the "yellow race" as a collective and stand on the same front.

For example, when Yao Ming was in the NBA and Su Bingtian achieved good results in the Olympics, this is almost something that the whole of Asia should be proud of.

Speaking of football, when Son Xingmin won the Premier League Golden Boot and the three-goal king played in Brighton, most of the fans of our Dragon Country also expressed their admiration in addition to being sour.

And when Son Heung-min was bullied by captain Lloris at Tottenham, whether it was Japan or Longguo netizens, they would also fight for him.

Coming to Pan Yi in this life, he is an East Asian who can win the top championship in the world's top club, which also makes every yellow person feel light on his face.

It is precisely because of this that the mayor of Yokohama tried to invite Pan Yi to visit Chinatown, which is equivalent to giving Yokohama a publicity by the way.

As for why you came to Chinatown?

Of course, it's because Pan Yi is from the Dragon Kingdom, so it's more cordial to come here.

In addition, it is a prime location in the city of Yokohama, and it is also a commercial center, and the economic benefits are great.

For Pan Yi, since he wants to relax, it's not bad to walk around, which is equivalent to having a free tour guide.

Of course, more importantly......

This Chinatown is a famous eating district in Yokohama City, and there are more than 200 restaurants in Ryukoku alone!

Chinatown is bustling with Japanese and foreign tourists who visit Chinatown every day to taste Ryukoku cuisine.

As a foodie coach who eats when directing a game, why don't you taste it?

So, he took the whole Chelsea team and set off!

It's just that once you get to Chinatown, it's amazing.

Even though the police opened the road and the mayor of Yokohama himself acted as a guide, the street was blocked!

It's no wonder that Chinatown is already very popular, and you, the whole Chelsea team, have to come over to see the stars?

When I saw Pan Yi, I screamed continuously, whether it was a Dragon Country, a Japanese, a Korean, or a tourist from Europe and the United States......

Even those girls who are not fans can't move their feet when they see Pan Yi's face!

It's worth it just to see handsome guys!

Later, Pan Yi and his team members could only hide in a Chinese restaurant under the cover of the police and enjoy a good meal.

"Hey, is this what happens when people become famous? It's not easy to come out for a meal? Mbappe sighed, and then watched in horror as Pan Yi stuffed a piece of Mao Xuewang into his mouth.

Hazard smiled and didn't speak.

As a long-established "veteran", Hazard is still very used to such scenes.

Pan Yi swallowed Mao Xuewang and said to Mbappe: "You don't want to be famous, it's easy." After playing in the Club World Cup, you go back to the youth team and your wish will come true. ”

Mbappe hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't don't, chief, I'm willing to endure such pain, just let others watch me eat!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and the table was filled with joyful air.

"As long as we can win the seven crowns this season, it will be difficult for everyone here not to be famous." At this time, Arteta, the famous MLM guru, took the opportunity to give value to the players:

"And this Club World Cup is another test on the road to our seven-time championship."

"No matter what kind of opponent we face, whether he's from Asia or South America, we're going to give it our all and beat them!"

'For yourselves, for Chelsea, make a memory that will last a lifetime!'

Everyone applauded, so that Pan Yi was embarrassed to continue eating, and applauded with everyone.

After eating, everyone stopped shopping - mainly because the streets were full of people, and they couldn't go shopping!

After returning to the station for a short rest, we went to the semi-final stadium, the Yokohama International Stadium, for a final familiarization training.

The final was also held in this stadium.

Everyone is aiming for both games!

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

On the evening of December 20, the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Chelsea's match against Changzhou Hengtai was finally about to begin.

There were many Longguo fans who came to watch the game, including many local Chinese, and more came to Yokohama from Longguo to watch the game.

On the one hand, the reason for this is that Japan is still relatively close to the Dragon Kingdom, so it is more convenient to come here;

And the more important reason is, of course, because there are Pan Yi and Changzhou Hengtai in this game!

In fact, for Dragon Country fans, the Club World Cup is not attractive in itself.

For example, in the final of previous years, what Manchester United vs Universitaria de Liga, Barcelona vs Estudiantes de La Plata, Inter vs Mazembi......

That sounds like no appetite, and it's better to watch a Premier League La Liga match.

But with the participation of Dragon Country's own team, it is different, and the attention is overwhelming in an instant!

This is also due to the excellent performance of Changzhou Hengtai in the Asian arena in recent years.

Since Xu Belting became the owner, he has spent a lot of coins, collected many domestic international players, and then bought many powerful stars outside, such as Conca, Muric, Elkeson, etc., and instantly established his dominance in domestic football, and has won N consecutive championships.

Then, they also became a big devil-level team in the AFC Champions League, knocking down Japanese and South Korean teams one by one.

Although some people say that the money-burning model of Changzhou Hengtai is not a big deal, it is undeniable that their success has also rekindled the fire of Longguo football, which has fallen to the freezing point.

Taking Pan Yi, who was an ordinary fan in his previous life, as an example, before the rise of Changzhou Hengtai, he had indeed not paid attention to Longguo football for a long time.

After all, the Dragon Country football in those years, whether it was the national football team or the domestic league, was rotten and rotten!

Later, with Changzhou Hengtai's big kill in the Asian arena, it gave the Dragon Country football a shot in the arm, and more people looked at the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League again.

Including Pan Yi, including many friends around Pan Yi, this is the case.

In this life, Changzhou Hengtai is still strong in Asia, and in the Club World Cup, it met Chelsea, which is invincible in Europe, and this Chelsea is led by Pan Yi, a young coach of the Dragon Kingdom......

Together, these multiple factors make it impossible to have a low level of attention in the Dragon Kingdom.

Before the game, many football forums had a huge increase in traffic because of this game, and related posts were instantly spread across the entire page.

"You say, is it possible for Changzhou Hengtai to beat Chelsea in an upset?"

“…… You might as well fantasize about Gao Yuanyuan's pursuit of you, and it is more realistic. ”

"Yes, don't look at those Dragon Country players in Changzhou Hengtai, the value is higher than the other, and the salary is frighteningly high, but the actual level is at most the Championship."

"Lifted. You're too exalted. The level of domestic players, most of them can play in League Two, it is good. Changzhou Hengtai is all international-level, so you can raise the first gear and play in the English League, no matter how high it is, it will not work. ”

"But Evergrande still has foreign aid. Elkeson and Goulart are both Brazilian fringe internationals, while Paulinho is the main force of the national team, and he also won the Champions League with Pan Yi. ”

"The king can't bring bronze, but he can't bring it! Not to mention that these foreign players are not enough to look at in front of Chelsea players, and they cannot be called kings at all. ”

'It's true that they can see who kills each other in Asia, but now it's Chelsea! Not to mention Elkeson and Goulart, who can't play in the Brazilian national team, Paulinho is enough to hang it, and he is not the absolute main force in Pan Yi's hamburg. ”

"That's right, Hamburg's main midfielders at that time were N'Golo Kante and Casemiro. In other words, Pan Yi is really amazing, no matter which team he leads, he is so strong, it is really the pride of our Dragon Country! ”

"I don't think so. He has good results because of the players he leads. If he can come to coach our Dragon Country national team, he can prove his strength! ”

“…… Seeing this kind of cerebral palsy remarks again, it is you who let Guardiola and Messi go to the Premier League to prove themselves, right? Co-author Ronaldo has not gone to the Chinese Super League to prove himself, his Champions League goalscorer is fake? ”

"Don't say it, I really think that even if it is a world-class coach like Pan Yi, he can't bring it to our national football team. It's not that he doesn't have the ability to turn decay into magic, I even believe that he can transform Gao Plane into a real bomber......"

"I know what I'm going to say upstairs, that is, the water is too deep. If Pan Yi really became the head coach of the national football team, maybe he couldn't even decide the starting lineup. If so, how can he use his full ability in the national football team? ”

"yes, alas. Therefore, we still silently wish Pan Yi to kill all sides in Europe, if he is well, it will be a sunny day. ”

"Hmm...... I feel it too. The same group of players, when they were in Changzhou Hengtai, and when they were in the national football team, their mental outlook was different. Maybe it's really the environment that changes people. ”

"Don't say these frustrating words, let's still enjoy our 'Dragon Country Derby'!"

"Haha! I still hope that Changzhou Hengtai can cause a little bit of trouble for Chelsea......"

At this time, on the TV screen of CCTV5, the players of both sides have already entered.

The voice of the commentator He Wei also reached the ears of all the fans through the TV.

"Hello viewers in front of the TV, this is a match of the semi-finals of the 2015 Club World Cup in Japan broadcast live by CCTV5 Sports Channel, against the AFC Champions League champion Changzhou Hengtai and the Champions League champion Chelsea!"

'Today Changzhou Hengtai wore the red shirt, while Chelsea wore their traditional blue shirt. Supporters of both sides can also be seen in the stands, red on one side and blue on the other. ”

However, some blue figures can still be seen in the red phalanx, and these should be Pan Yi's supporters. Yes, we can see these Dragon Kingdom fans holding a portrait of Pan Yi in their hands and waving it towards the camera. ”

"It stands to reason that having supporters of one team in the ranks of the other team can cause unnecessary trouble. But now the scene is very harmonious. This is because, whether it is Changzhou Hengtai fans or Chelsea fans, they will definitely support one person, and that is Pan Yi! ”

"Pan Yi is now the hottest head coach in world football, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a coach in the world, and he is a native of our dragon country. Therefore, he is supreme in the hearts of Chelsea fans and Dragon Country fans. ”

"If believers on both sides share the same belief in the same God, how can they quarrel?"

At this time, the players from both sides were already shaking hands in line, and Pan Yi was also shaking hands with Scolari, the head coach of Changzhou Hengtai.

The veteran Brazilian coach managed Chelsea in 2008-2009 but stayed for only half a season before stepping down.

The rest of the time, he coached at clubs in South America and Asia, which was not too successful.

But he still has a pretty good record at national team level.

From 2002 to 2008, he coached the Portuguese national team, leading them to the final of the 2004 European Championship in Portugal, the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the quarter-finals of the 2008 European Championship in Austria and Switzerland.

And what he is even better at is that he served as the coach of the Brazilian national team twice in 2001 and 2012, and led the team to win the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup! and the 2013 Brazilian Confederations Cup.

But it was also in the 2014 World Cup that he led Brazil to play a humiliating 1:7 match against Germany, and then secretly quit class.

After a brief spell in charge of Gremio in Brazil, he moved to Dragons to succeed Cannavaro as head coach of Changzhou Hengtai.

In the past 2015 season, he led the team to win the double championship of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League with an unbeaten record of 23 games in all competitions, and was named the best coach of the Chinese Super League.

For such an old handsome, Pan Yi can't talk about any friendship with him, but he still respects him very much.

The two also exchanged a few words and returned to their respective coaches' seats.

Then, Pan Yi looked at the opposing player.

It's different from the list of riverbeds, it's full of acquaintances!

Scolari's starting line-up today was not conservative at all, it was a 4-3-3.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.

Defenders: Zou Zheng, Jin Yingquan, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng.

Midfielders: Huang Bowen, Paulinho, Zheng Zhi.

Forwards: Elkeson, Goulart, Zheng Long.

On the bench, there are Mei Fang, Zhao Xuri, Rong Hao, Yu Hanchao, Gao Lin, Li Xuepeng, Wang Shangyuan, Alain, Robinho, and so on.

It is worth mentioning Robinho.

Since he was sold at AC Milan, he returned to Santos in Brazil, but he was unable to play his original form at all and was eventually terminated by the team.

In July 2015, he chose to transfer to Changzhou Hengtai on a free transfer, and made a total of 9 appearances and scored 3 goals, which can be regarded as the team's fifth consecutive championship in the Chinese Super League.

But in the current Changzhou Hengtai team, he can actually only be regarded as a substitute, and he can't compete with Elkeson, Goulart, and Alain at all, and even the appearance order is still behind Gao Lin.

It is indeed embarrassing that this former Brazilian genius, a famous bicycle teenager, was once a star who was competed for by giants such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Milan, but he fell into such a situation.

His current situation also proves how correct Pan Yi was to leave the team when he was still selling at a high price in Milan.

When the players and coaches of the two teams greeted each other, Pan Yi only chatted with Paulinho for a few words, and did not communicate with Robinho.

On the one hand, it is because Robinho and Pan Yi have not worked together for a long time when they were in Milan, they are not too familiar with each other, and there is no topic between the two.

On the other hand, it is also because Robinho will compete for the title of "Prisoner King" for some crimes in the future, Pan Yi has doubts about his character, so he doesn't want to have too much intersection with him.

Character is like a ball, and a ball is like a character.

Perhaps Robinho's professional attitude has always been relatively poor, and he has not been able to fully realize his talent, which is also a very important reason......

Pan Yi was thinking about it, when the referee's opening whistle sounded.

This alternative "Dragon Country Derby" between Changzhou Hengtai and Chelsea has begun!
