After returning to the base camp of St. Denis, the whole Swedish team celebrated again.

This time, of course, Pan Yi will not restrict the players from doing anything!

In the hotel, almost everyone was very drunk, whether it was veterans like Ibrahimovic and Shelström, or children like Isaac and Kulusevsky...... Even a lot of the coaching staff and staff were drunk and unconscious.

They also woke up late the next day.

But when everyone heard the notice of "returning home", they all jumped up from the bed one by one.

After showering, changing, eating, and packing up your belongings, you'll gather at the airport for your flight back to Sweden.

Everyone knows that the real celebration is in the country!

Today is in France, it's not your home turf.

Only when you get to Sweden and Stockholm is your own place, and it's time to completely let go of the celebration!

The journey from St. Denis to Stockholm is not too far, and it takes only two and a half hours to get there by direct flight.

When the announcer in the waiting hall said that the plane arriving in Stockholm from France arrived at the airport, the entire waiting hall of Stockholm Airport, as well as the countless fans gathered outside the hall, cheered.

This group of fans who came to the airport to wait specially were wearing the jerseys of the Swedish team, some were sticking the Swedish flag on their faces, and some simply held up a Swedish flag high to show their support for the national team and their pride and pride in the team after winning the championship.

As Swedish fans, they don't have the opportunity to celebrate like this from time to time like European powerhouses like Germany and Italy.

Compared with this kind of football powerhouse that has stars emerging every period, Sweden, a team that has long been in the second tier of Europe, can only hope for the occasional "golden generation" explosion to achieve a breakthrough in performance.

It's a bit like Poland in '82, Bulgaria in '94, Croatia in '98, and Portugal in Figo's era.

And this year, they really waited!

Moreover, this group of Swedish players is not a golden generation in the true sense of the word, but they still created a new history of Swedish football, and they stand on top of Europe!

So everyone knows that the biggest credit for this European Cup championship belongs to the head coach and Pan Yi!

So, when Pan Yi led the members of the Swedish national team to appear in the waiting hall in a handsome uniform black suit, all the fans in the stadium immediately cheered and shouted Pan Yi's name.

Of course, there are also things like "Zlatan!" Such a shout, but in general, it is still shouting "Pan Yi!" "The most.

The entire waiting hall was full of people, and the fans had already blocked the place, and the staff, security guards and police could only barely divide a road for one person to pass through.

Finally got to the outside of the waiting hall, the Swedish Football Association had already prepared a double-decker bus without a canopy, and the members of the Swedish national team got into it directly and drove away.

Then, everyone saw that the streets were full of people outside, and everyone raised an arm, as if a forest had been erected, and this spectacular feeling was indeed very satisfying and proud.

"It is said that fans from all over the country have gathered here in advance." Arteta, who was sitting next to Pan Yi, said.

Pan Yi nodded.

When it comes to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, the first thing that may come to mind is not the city itself, but a medical term - "Stockholm syndrome".

Although the city is already the largest city in Sweden, it still has a population of only 800,000.

Even if you include the entire population of the metropolitan area, Stockholm has a population of only 1.5 million people at its peak.

Compared to London, which has a population of nearly 10 million, it can only be said to be a small town.

Therefore, the scale of the fan celebration is difficult to sustain if it only depends on the population of Stockholm itself.

But this time, it's not just Stockholm, it's the whole of Sweden that celebrates their first continental championship in their history!

Therefore, everywhere there are gongs and drums, firecrackers are ringing, red flags are displayed, and there are crowds of people.

And the biggest culmination of the celebration is the appearance on Stockholm Square.

When Pan Yi gave a speech to the cheers of all the fans, a group of wolf-like players immediately began to open the champagne in a big way, spilling wine everywhere, and even the air was filled with the smell and taste of alcohol.

I don't know who was the first to spray wine on Pan Yi and spill it all over his body, and then the players rushed to follow suit one by one, and Pan Yi was finally poured into a soup chicken by the players who rushed up.

This scene saw that countless Swedish fans in the square were enthusiastic.

It's just that, in addition to the excitement and excitement, they still have a little bit of loss in their hearts.

That's because, in his victory speech just now, Pan Yi also made it clear that after the European Cup, his contract with the Swedish Football Association will expire.

He will also leave his post on the same day as the interim head coach of the Swedish national team, take a leave of absence, and officially appear in the major football media as the owner of York City.

Although everyone is mentally prepared for this day, seeing that the best coach in history who led the national team to the best record in history is leaving, everyone's hearts are quite uncomfortable.

Without Pan Yi, will the Swedes be able to create more miracles at the World Cup in two years' time? ——

While the Swedish team arrived in Stockholm and began to celebrate, the European media coverage of last night's European Championship final and the new European champions had only just begun.

First of all, FIFA released the latest national team rankings, as Sweden have just won the European Championship and beat the big teams in the competition, their ranking soared from 33rd before the European Championship to 12th.

This is also the highest ranking ever made by the Swedish national team.

The top five remain unchanged and remain Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Germany and Chile.

Runners-up Portugal moved up two places to sixth, while France, who reached the semi-finals, rose 10 places to seventh, Spain dropped two places to eighth, Brazil also dropped two places to ninth and Italy rose two places to 10th.

Subsequently, UEFA also announced the list of the best teams for this European Championship on its official website after the European Championship.

In this best team, the goalkeeper was Portugal's Patricio, who made an impressive number of saves throughout the tournament and ensured Portugal made it all the way to the final.

At the back, the four are Portugal's Pepe and Guerrero, Sweden's Victor Lindelof and Germany's Kimmich.

Among the three midfielders, they are Wales' Ramsey, Sweden's Forsberg, and France's Paul Pogba.

The forward line is Ibrahimovic in the middle, flanked by Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann, who won the Golden Boot of this European Championship.

In terms of nationality, the champions Sweden had only three selections, while the runners-up Portugal had four, as well as two French, one German and one Welsh.

This also shows that the Swedish team can win the championship this time, although the central axis of Ibrahimovic + Forsberg + Lindelof has contributed a lot, but it mainly depends on the whole.

In particular, Pan Yi's adjustment of the overall skills and tactics of the Swedish team left a deep impression, but it is precisely because the Swedish team talks about teamwork and overall play that the Swedish players are at a disadvantage in the selection of the best players individually.

Ibrahimovic, the most competitive team, lost to Cristiano Ronaldo in the final vote.

UEFA Chief Technology Officer Ivan Lupescu said: "Cristiano Ronaldo tries to create a threat for his team every game, he has the skills, vision and goalscoring ability to do so, and the technical observer panel has always considered him the best player in this tournament. ”

Although there was a suspicion of "consolation", Ibrahimovic still congratulated Ronaldo generously.

After all, the championship trophy is carried in Ibrahimovic's arms, which is more important than anything else!

In the selection of the best coach with the least suspense, Pan Yi, who finally won the championship, undoubtedly ascended to this throne.

Santos, who led the Portuguese team and almost made history, could only settle behind Pan Yi in second place.

Coach Chris Coleman, who also led Wales to a historic semi-final four, was third.

On the official website of UEFA, it is rare to use a large space to introduce Pan Yi's journey in this European Cup:

"Pan Yi's eyes give people a very deep feeling, and they seem to be full of endless wisdom, which makes it difficult to figure out what he is thinking and what he is going to do."

"This is like the mysterious oriental power that Pan Yi once said he has, and we have no way to guess his inner world."

'Sweden were not hopeful before the game, they were placed in the Group of Death, the team's defensive problems at both ends of the pitch and the change of manager before the European Championship all cast a shadow over Sweden's European Championship prospects.

"But Pan Yi is Pan Yi in the end, he is very good at learning and adapting. After taking over the Swedish team, he adapted to the format and atmosphere of a major tournament like the European Championship in a very short period of time, and quickly adjusted the team's tactics in the tournament. ”

'The young manager, fresh from a seven-time Chelsea title, has adopted an open-ended counter-attacking approach. While basing himself on a stable defense, he also played the characteristic attack of the Swedish team, which was eye-catching. ”

"No one doubts Pan Yi's status as the world's No. 1 coach, and he is also a high-quality idol in the football world. He feels comfortable, he doesn't act out of the ordinary, and he respects every opponent. ”

"Many people were worried that Pan Yi might only be suitable for leading clubs and not national teams. But now that it looks like none of this is true. Because with this year's European Cup, Pan Yi has once again raised his influence to a higher level! ”

Obviously, the Swedish national team is just a stop in Pan Yi's life journey. After winning Sweden's first European Cup title, he did not lose his clothes and hid his fame. ”

'He's going to show up to us as the owner of a League One club, so will he surprise us more? Let's wait and see! ……”

——

"I think you should revisit your decision to retire."

In a café in Stockholm, Pan Yi was speaking to a man in casual clothes.

This type of man is like Shelström, who just scored the winning goal in the European Cup final!

He himself had already conceived the idea of retiring, and after winning the European Championship this summer, he suddenly felt that he had completed his merits and had no regrets in his career, so he accelerated the process.

After all, he is 34 years old this year, and he plays for an unpopular team like the Swiss Zurich Grasshoppers, and it is unlikely that he will even win the Swiss national championship, let alone make any breakthroughs in his club career.

Now that he can go home with a European Cup title and be the key to the final, it can be said that he has no regrets in this life.

And what about Pan Yi......

He is in the name of the owner of York City, to invite Shelström to League One for another two years!

This is because Pan Yi is going to help York City find a recruit for the new season after he is busy with the European Cup.

Anyone who has played FM games knows that if you lead a low-level team to upgrade and want to mix up relegation or something, then the lineup can not be changed much, and you can strengthen some particularly weak areas a little;

But if you want to do something right away, just like just level it up! Then it's going to be a big move.

If nothing else, get rid of some young players with potential, and everyone else basically has to be replaced.

Not to mention the main players who originally represented York City in League Two, many of them are veteran players who have terminated their contracts in the Premier League and the Championship, all of whom are nearly 40 years old;

Now another year has passed, and the team has to play higher intensity and more competitive League One, relying on them to play, relegation may not be a big problem, but Pan Yi wants to be promoted directly, it will definitely not be enough.

So, it's about making a big deal in this transfer window!

And Pan Yi has already drawn up a list, most of which are some future young talents.

Pan Yi just wants to directly use the English League One to train and let these young people play out directly.

In this way, the team can be upgraded again, and the value of the players will also be played.

In the end, if these players stay in the team, then many of them can directly become the team's youth players, that is, the household registration book;

And if you don't want to stay in the team, you can make a lot of money by selling it.

It's just that unlike Pan Yi's previous work at AC Milan, Hamburg or Chelsea, York City is only an English League One team after all.

Although there is a golden sign of "Boss Pan Yi", the attraction to players is definitely weaker than that of those traditional giants, at least teams that play in the five major leagues.

Therefore, Pan Yi first wants to invite some old players who are a little famous and have oil to come to the team.

In doing so, not only can you improve the attractiveness of the team, but also enhance the strength of your own team, and the old players can also play a role in passing on the young players, which is simply a lot of success!

Of course, this kind of player is not easy to find.

After all, even if the players are allowed to retire, they still have to pay salaries.

When players like Xavi and Iniesta are leaving Barcelona and leaving the mainstream leagues, they go to Qatar and Japan, and that salary is indispensable.

And if it is at the level of Ronaldo and Messi, it will be higher, even higher than their original European clubs.

Therefore, Pan Yi can only find some players who are not so famous, but still have some appeal.

For example, those players who have just won the European Championship and just want to retire do not need transfer fees or salaries......

Shehlström is the perfect candidate!

From a competitive point of view, he is a midfielder who intercepts and passes, which can effectively improve the midfield strength of York City;

Mentally, he has a good professional attitude, a high level of work commitment, and hard work, which makes him an excellent candidate for the big brother in the locker room;

And from the perspective of fame, although he can't reach the level of appeal like Xavi and Iniesta, after all, he is also a former Arsenal player, and he is still the main force of Lyon when he won the championship, and of course, more importantly-

"I'm the European Cup winner, what are you?"

And he was also the player who scored the most important goal in the European Championship final, and it can be said that his fame exploded instantly.

Just like the Portuguese player Eder who scored the winning goal in the final in Pan Yi's previous life, who would remember this name before?

His achievements at club level are even much lower than Shelström. But Euro 2016 is still a name that is often mentioned after many years of passing on.

Therefore, bringing Shelström to York City is obviously extremely helpful to Pan Yi's team building plan!

Today, Pan Yi invited Shelström to the café to have a good chat about this matter.

"But......," said Shelström, after a moment's hesitation, "I spoke to Isaksen, and we agreed to retire together." ”

Regarding Pan Yi's invitation, to be honest, Shelström is a little difficult to refuse.

This is mainly Pan Yi's personal charm.

For Pan Yi, Shelström has only one word: serve!

Not to mention the current Pan Yi, he can almost be called a national hero for an ordinary Swede, let alone those soldiers who followed him for a month.

However, Shelström did tell goalkeeper Isaksen, who is a year older than him, that he would retire together after winning the European Championship and enjoy life!

If you regret it at this time, won't you lose your trust in others?

But at this time, Pan Yi smiled: "Don't worry, he will go to York City with you, I have already talked to him." ”

"Really?" Shelström was pleasantly surprised, "If he goes, then I'll go too!" So you have a companion in the team. After all, you're the boss now, so you shouldn't be in the team very often......"

"Then it's decided!" Pan Yi stretched out his hand to Shelström, "Welcome to York City!" ”

——

"I've spoken to Shelström and he's willing to postpone his retirement and wants you to go to York City with you."

An hour later, in a noodle restaurant in Stockholm, Pan Yi was talking to another man.

Yes, you guessed it, this type of man is Isaksen, the main goalkeeper of the Swedish national team.

Since Shelström wants to go to York City with Isaksen, let's pack up and take it with you!

In fact, Pan Yi also wanted to invite Isaksen.

It's no secret that a good goalkeeper tops half a team, and even more so in a lower-tier team.

Isaksen, as the main goalkeeper of the European Cup champion, wouldn't going to League One a dimensionality reduction blow?

And it also has the effect of driving the team's attractiveness.

This is a bit like Wrexham, who was still playing in the fifth division when Pan Yi was in his previous life, pulled former England international Ben Foster, who has announced his retirement, into the team.

Ben Foster later helped Wrexham rush to League Two and renewed his contract for another year.

Moreover, Ben Foster himself has also become a top Internet celebrity, and the legend of the low-level league he created with Reynolds and McElhenny has become the traffic leader of British football.

Pan Yi hopes that Isakson can also go to York City, of course, not to be an Internet celebrity, but to improve the team's defensive stability.

And to do this, some "coaxing and deception" serial schemes are of course indispensable.

Say "Isaacsen has agreed" to Shelström and "Shelström has agreed" to Isaacsen......

Cycle your legs and be invincible!

In fact, as early as the end of 2010, Jiang Wen, the director of a "World Heritage Application" "Let the Bullets Fly", used it.

The reason why this black humor movie is so popular is the brilliant performances of Jiang Wen, Chow Yun-fat, and Ge You.

And Jiang Wen wanted Chow Yun-fat and Ge You to participate in the show together, so he came up with a "serial plan".

He wrote a letter to each of them, and the letter was written with great talent and witty words.

Of course, the key point is that he emphasized to Ge You in the letter, "In addition to the foolish brother, the new film still has Fa Ge debut", and the sister-in-law of Fa Ge stated, "In addition to the foolish brother, the new film still has Ge You's brother joining".

Under such "coaxing and deception", two movie stars at the actor level have joined "Let the Bullets Fly", which has achieved a good story in the Chinese film industry.

And such a high-level strategy, as an upright Nordic, where did Isaacsen know through it?

Hearing Pan Yi say this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, in this case, I am willing to go to the head with him and fight for York City!" ”

"Then it's decided!" Pan Yi stretched out his hand to Isaksen, "Welcome to Yorktown!" ”

——

"Yes, Shelström and Isaksen, the two big brothers, are going, you think about it."

Another hour later, at a McDonald's in Stockholm, Pan Yi was talking to a young man.

This time it's 16-year-old Kulusevsky!

Since you have already turned two old ones, then by the way, let's turn a small one, buy two get one free.

Kulusevski is definitely a player who can play in the Premier League in the future!

Why not someone else, like Isaac, who is only less than a year older than Kulusevsky?

The main reason is that most of the members of the Swedish national team have professional contracts, and many of them can play in the top league, but they are actually reluctant to deign to go to the third division of League One.

And the pay is also high! In League One, where salaries are generally only a few thousand euros, it is certainly impossible to get players of tens of thousands of euros.

Then again, even if a player with a high salary is willing to come, and York City can afford it, the rules don't allow it.

According to the rules of financial fair play, the monthly salary payout of a player in League One cannot exceed 60% of the projected income.

While York City's finances are in excellent shape right now, it's not good enough to afford such a high-paid player.

And for Kulusevski, he is only a player of the Atalanta Under-18 team, and not even the Under-20 team!

He's not a picky eater and has a professional contract from a League One club, which is certainly much better than if he were in the youth team.

Second, he is still on a youth contract, and his salary is frighteningly low.

How much is it? 250 euros a week!

Even if Kulusevski performed very well in the Swedish national team, he must have caught the attention of Atalanta, but after all, the new professional contract has not been sent to him, has he?

So Pan Yi plans to strike first and go to York City first.

Well, a tenfold increase, 2,500 euros is not attractive enough?

Not to mention Pan Yi, the face that attracts young players the most......

Although he is said to be the boss, the head coach Scaloni himself is a disciple of Pan Yi and a former assistant coach of the Swedish national team, everyone is familiar with it, and it must be good for his own growth.

And even the two big brothers of the Swedish team have gone, so what are you hesitating about???

Therefore, Kulusevski quickly excitedly said: "I don't think about it, I can sign a contract right away!" ”

"Then it's decided!" Pan Yi stretched out his hand to Kulusevski, "Welcome to York City!" (End of chapter)
