After scoring a goal, the Chelsea team were completely bloody, attacking like crazy on the pitch, without thinking about the consequences or their own defence, and pressing on the attack.

In this situation, Scaloni wisely chose to retreat from all sides, asking the whole team to retract into their own half to participate in the defense.

When the back three were once again in front of the York City defence, Chelsea were able to find a way to break down the York City defence, despite their aggressiveness and control of the situation.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole audience was boiling!

The York City players flocked to the dugout in excitement and threw manager Scaloni into the air.

The fans in the stands also sang the York City team anthem, singing it over and over again, as if they would never get tired.

"York City is the champion! They also became the first team in the history of English football to win the FA Cup in the third tier! ”

"It's a team with a lot of magic! It's hard to believe they're still a League One team, and last year they were in League Two! But it's such a team that won the FA Cup today! At the same time, they will also be in the Championship next year! ”

"This team has a very high level of tactical execution and they will execute the manager's tactics without any doubt. At the same time, they have no shortage of geniuses, such as Baker, who scored today, and Armand, who assisted...... But before Pan Yi discovered them, they could be said to be unknown! ”

"But now, fans all over the world should remember their names because they are FA Cup winners now! And it's the title that came after beating last season's seven-time champions Chelsea, which is bound to be even more memorable! ”

Lineker also looked particularly excited.

As he said before, he has witnessed the rise of a magical team and had the privilege of witnessing its glory moments.

'York City was really good in this game, every player worked hard to execute the manager's tactics. They were able to reach the final with back-to-back victories over Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and then Chelsea in the final as League One teams, and you have to admit that this team has a lot of potential. I'm even looking forward to seeing what they do in the Europa League next year! ”

Lineker heard Lippi say this, and smiled evilly: "I think the FA should be the headache now." I bet they don't believe they will have a League One team to represent England in the Europa League next season...... Okay, it's the Championship, but they really need to think about how they plan York City's fixtures next season. ”

Participating in European competition as a lower league should indeed be the only time in the history of English football in recent years.

And even that time, it was enough to give the FA a headache.

After all, the Championship is not the Premier League, their schedule is tighter, and their own 46 rounds of league games, plus the FA Cup and League Cup, are already busy enough even if there is no European competition;

Now with the European competition, it's really difficult.

In fact, during the season at Wigan Athletic in the Europa League, they often had two matches in three days.

It was precisely because of this tight schedule that Wigan Athletic's results were ultimately affected, and they failed to return to the Premier League, and even fell into League One all the time......

"It's not just the FA that's going to have a headache, it's York City itself."

'They made just one substitution today, which means they relied on 12 men to withstand Chelsea's attack and get the win.

"But if they still have this kind of squad depth next season, you can imagine how bad they will be."

"Don't forget, Xavi Alonso is about to retire, and so are a lot of the veterans in the squad."

Speaking of which, Lineker changed his words:

"Of course, given that York City has a capable boss like Pan Yi, this is not a big deal."

"From what I know about him, I feel like he just needs to take a trip around the world in the summer and the Yorktown squad will be plumped up in no time."

'And next season York City is a Championship team, so they will be more attractive to the players.

"Even many players at the national team level are willing to play in the Championship, not to mention that this Championship team belongs to the world's best football coach named Pan Yi......"

Lippi also laughed: "Then I hope he can help me defeat Syria first, so that he can be his transfer director in peace!" ”

Lineker laughed: "Don't worry! Now York City and the Dragon Nation are his two pieces of heart, and they will definitely take care of it. As far as today's game is concerned, I dare to pack a ticket, this final lore, there must be Pan Yi's participation! ”

Lippi laughed: "No one can guess this." I wonder now if he was already celebrating the title with his players in the dressing room! ”

——

The answer is yes.

Shortly after the game, Pan Yi brought Jason McGill, Victor Horta and other club executives to the team's locker room to celebrate the victory with everyone.

And as soon as he came in, Pan Yi announced on the spot that all the prize money of the game would be awarded to the players, whether it was the FA Cup or the English League.

Amid the cheers of the players, Pan Yi said:

"You deserve it, guys! You guys did a great job! You know, we were only a League Two team last year, but now we have made it two in a row and are in the Championship! Now, I got ...... FA Cup winners!! ”

Pan Yi's face was full of pride, which was a great recognition of his team's performance.

"I can't ask for more from you, but I hope you can push harder, because next season will be even tougher!"

'As you all know, the Championship is definitely not the end of the road, what I want is to get to the Premier League!'

'In the FA Cup, we can beat Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, so are we afraid of the Championship teams?'

"Also, we're going to Europe! I'm not going to give up on the Europa League, because then the whole of England will laugh at us and say we've wasted a place! ”

"We want to let everyone know that we can do well in European competitions even if we play in the lower leagues!"

By the end, the York City players and coaches shouted even more excitedly, almost lifting the roof of the dressing room at Wembley Stadium.

Then, the surrounding players came over one after another, tightly surrounding Pan Yi, hugging him in the middle, a group of people hugged each other tightly, and even Scaloni, De Zerbi and others on the periphery also hugged each other.

No one said anything, just hugged quietly, very hard, and no one could pull it away!

When Pan Yi decided to become the owner of York City, no one thought that just two years later, this team would be able to win the FA Cup, let alone that they would be able to participate in European competitions, but now, they have done it.

Some people may say that this is the credit of Scaloni and the players, but only the people within the club, only Scaloni himself, and the players themselves will understand that this is all the credit of Pan Yi!

He was the one who reshaped the team, the one who brought the players to England one by one from all corners of the world, and he was the one who encouraged and supported the players when they were frustrated, and he was the one who gave him unwavering support when Scaloni faced doubts.

It's a business society, players are a profession, and they all want to be paid more and prove themselves on a wider stage, so no one can guarantee that they will stay at York City in the future with their excellent performances this season.

But the only thing that is certain is that at this moment, their hearts are closely connected with Pan Yi and York City.

When the FA officials who came to remind York City to attend the medal ceremony saw the scene outside the dressing room, he was stunned.

What kind of team it is.

Team owners, executives, coaches, and players, like a family, hugged each other without barriers.

At the same time, he also understood why this seemingly weak team was able to defeat seemingly invincible opponents again and again, and why it was able to win the FA Cup! ——

Even though it was the end of May, York was still very cold.

Although this is a famous historical and cultural city, it is not a big city after all, and it is certainly not as lively as a place like London.

But if you talk about the enthusiasm of the inhabitants here, it is no less than that of people anywhere else.

Even though it's been a few days since that FA Cup final, York City fans are still talking about that day.

After York City won the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium, a large number of fans started driving from outside the stadium all the way to follow the team bus back to York City!

The scene even attracted a lot of live TV coverage.

A long line of cars sang the Yorktown anthem along the way, and all the fans followed the team bus one after another, slowly driving on the highway back to Yorkshire.

Especially as we approached North Yorkshire, more and more fans were gathering in the convoy, which even alarmed the traffic police passing along the way, forcing them to send in people to prepare to maintain order.

Of course, the fans at York City are very well-behaved, everyone just walks together, celebrates together, sings together, no one wants to make trouble at this time, they all come together out of a love for the team.

After entering York City, many fans even set off fireworks to celebrate, and they announced the triumph of York City in this way.

And when the motorcade of club members and fans entered the West Siberian Stadium, where the celebration program was already prepared, the atmosphere suddenly reached its climax!

This is the first national championship in the team's history, so how can they not be excited? And it's a double season!

At the scene, Pan Yi, the owner of the club and the most beloved spicy man in York City, also spoke.

He didn't say much, but he gave the fans a reassurance that York City will not rest on their laurels and will be satisfied with their performances in the Championship and Europa League next season!

Then, it's everyone's celebration, no drunk!

And then there's the holiday.

Almost all players and coaches can go on vacation, except for those with national team assignments.

That's because there is a national team break in mid-June, after which all the players can relax.

Pan Yi is no exception.

In fact, on the third day after the FA Cup final, he returned to China with Lippi and Lin Liangming.

As for Huang Zichang, because he did not play much in York City, including the FA Cup final, he was still not selected for the national team this time.

Next, Pan Yi's focus shifted from York City to the Dragon National Team.

They will have an important match away to Syria! ——

Of course, in addition to international players like Lin Liangming, there is no rest for the hard-working Chinese Super League players.

At this time, they were just less than halfway through their season.

There are a total of 30 rounds of the Chinese Super League, and now only 12 rounds have been played.

In the standings, it is still Changzhou Hengtai ranked first, followed by SIPG, Huaxia Happiness, Shandong Taishan, etc.

This is also to be expected.

In Changzhou Hengtai Middle School, the main force of the Longguo national team alone, there are Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen, Zhang Linpeng, Li Xuepeng, Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and other seven people, it can be said that the middle and backfield of the entire national team is composed of Hengtai players.

Not to mention Gao Lin, Zou Zheng, Wang Shangyuan, Xu Xin, Yu Hanchao...... Wait for a bunch of substitute internationals.

Coupled with several strong foreign players in the front court, it is easy to understand that they have been invincible in the domestic arena for a long time.

And such a situation is actually beneficial to the preparation of the national team.

The main framework is Hengtai, so there will be fewer communication and cooperation problems between players, and it will be easier to promote some new tactical systems.

This is actually not an uncommon thing even in world football, as strong as Germany, and they are often formed with Bayern Munich players as the team.

The invincible Spain around 2010 was dominated by Barcelona players.

Weak teams will rely on domestic club powerhouses, such as Dynamo Kyiv for Ukraine and Riyadh Crescent for Saudi Arabia.

Like in his previous life, Pan Yi, who was a fan at the time, didn't understand that sometimes why he had to break up the players of the Hengtai system, and then let some players whose strength was not so outstanding serve as the main force.

After all, this group of players has also proved their strength in the Asian arena and won the AFC Champions League twice.

When it comes to the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, there are even more things that are not understood.

At that time, a lot of strong players had been naturalized, but they were either not allowed to play, or they could only play in the first half, and they were angry to watch.

It wasn't until later that Brother Tiezi and the others went in to know that there were some unspoken rules about whether they could be selected for the national team and whether they could play in the game.

Luckily, with Lippi as head coach now, none of this mess has happened.

What's more, now with the help of Pan Yi, the results of the national football team are also unprecedentedly good, and the whole country is staring at the national football team, and it is even more unlikely that there will be any dirty things such as stuffing people into the national football team and collecting money to play at this juncture.

In order to prepare for the battle with Syria on June 13, the 12th round of the Chinese Super League was also played as early as June 2, leaving the national team with more time to train and prepare.

Everyone is convinced that with the joint efforts of the whole country, the defeat of Syria will definitely not be a problem!

However, when such optimism reached Pan Yi's ears through traditional media and the Internet, he felt that it was not appropriate.

Self-confidence is not conceit, but the current national team, it feels a bit too much.

Therefore, at the first plenary meeting after the national team was assembled, Pan Yi raised this question.

"The public opinion on the outside is too optimistic right now, and they simply don't pay the least attention to our opponents. The three wins in a row against Qatar, South Korea and Iran have shifted the mindset of many of us, which is good, but it's not a reason for us to be complacent, and we don't have a basis for complacency. ”

Pan Yi led everyone to recall the "real national football team".

Until a few months ago, the national team had finished bottom of Group A, with a worse record of one draw and three defeats than any team competing in the round of 12.

And earlier, and worse.

At that time, the team was still struggling for the last ticket to the top 12, almost using all its strength, and it was only in the last round that the weak Hong Kong team was barely squeezed out, and it was not easy to win this ticket and squeeze into the top 12.

Is this what a "strong team" can do?

Teams like Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Saudi Arabia didn't easily break through from the top 40?

So, what is the level of Dragon Country football, I'm afraid many people have forgotten.

"We have to remember that we can win against South Korea and Iran in a specific game, but that doesn't mean we're going to be able to compete with Iran and South Korea. By the same token, winning the war against South Korea and Iran does not mean that we are stronger than Syria and Uzbekistan. ”

"Why do you think we're going to win? Why are you guessing over there how many goals we can win against Syria? Has everyone forgotten that South Korea was paralyzed before the game and was defeated by us in the end? Are we going to repeat the mistakes of the South Korean team? ”

Everyone present was silent.

In fact, the public opinion environment outside is indeed a little too optimistic.

To put it bluntly, with the current strength of the Dragon Kingdom, whether it is to fight Iran or South Korea, it will still fall behind under normal circumstances.

It can be said that whether it was defeating Iran or South Korea before, it was an act of "upset".

After all, if you compare the players of these teams one by one, the Dragon Country team is undoubtedly the worst one.

It is precisely because of the coaching of Lippi and Pan Yi that they have forcibly raised them to a level that can confront South Korea and Iran in terms of tactics.

But many people are now confused about the concept, and compare defeating South Korea and South Korea in a single game with the overall strength ahead of these Asian powerhouses, leading many people to mistakenly think that since even South Korea can be beaten, then let alone Syria, which is in turmoil with civil war?

But as everyone knows, these are two games, two different things.

Lippi also deeply agreed with what Pan Yi said.

He used to lead the Italian team, and he knew that even the star-studded team at the beginning would capsize when facing some weak teams in Europe, not to mention Syria, which was no worse than the Dragon Team in terms of strength.

As long as you don't have the right mentality and play with a contemptuous attitude, the loss will soon come to you!

What's more, where is the current Dragon Nation team qualified to have such an attitude of contempt for opponents?

"This has to be done on the first day, and I will never allow anyone to ruin the atmosphere of preparation for the national team, no matter who he is." Lippi said heavily.

Although after the translator said it, hearing this passage in everyone's ears no longer had the "murderous aura" in Lippi's original words, everyone could still feel Lippi's determination.

Whether it is Lippi or Pan Yi, they are both world-class coaches, and the prestige established by their outstanding achievements over the years is still very imposing at this time.

Therefore, the international players shrank their heads back, and their hearts were also shocked.

Everyone knows that whoever shows an attitude of contempt for the enemy at this time will definitely be "killed and set an example", and it is not uncommon for him to be kicked out of the national team immediately.

After all, in this national team, the biggest name is not which player, but the two famous coaches who are sitting on the stage now!

"I always say to be happy when you play, but being happy doesn't mean being overly optimistic."

Pan Yi added earnestly:

'We're in good shape at the moment, but that doesn't mean we can beat all the opponents.

"After all, excessive optimism can bring pressure to win. Everyone thinks in their hearts, we have all won South Korea and Iran, but we can't win Syria? This invisibly adds pressure to myself. ”

"Do you remember the first cycle? At that time, we drew with Iran and lost to South Korea, and everyone thought that we were very strong, although we couldn't win the two strongest teams, but it didn't matter what Uzbekistan or Syria were. ”

"The result? Two consecutive defeats! If this time is the case, I believe everyone knows what the result will be at that time. ”

As soon as Pan Yi said this, everyone present suddenly came to their senses.

Isn't it?

Everyone knows how fragile the psychology of the national football team is.

Even if in the past six months or so, the team has slowly built up self-confidence through one victory after another, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not collapse again due to pressure.

Such cases are not uncommon in the past few decades of the national football team.

Many people keep saying that the Dragon Country team is old and lost the chain at the critical moment, why?

In the round of 40, the Dragons played the Maldives hard, and even failed to win the opponent in Hong Kong in two games, why is this?

Is it because the players of the Dragon Country team are not as good as the Maldives and not as good as Hong Kong? Definitely not.

In the final analysis, it is all because there is too much pressure on my body and mind, and I feel that I will definitely qualify in the group stage of the top 40 and will definitely be able to win most of my opponents......

It's like a person fighting with shackles, how can he exert all his abilities?

And today's meeting, what Pan Yi said at the meeting, is to nip it in the bud at the early stage of the birth of this pressure, so that everyone can deal with the next game with a real normal heart.

In this way, in the next training, the international players can also devote themselves more distractedly!
