"A reborn performance!"

Soon after the end of the match between China and Syria, major media have praised the performance of the national football team on their front pages.

After this match, the dragon country reached 13 points, and also officially climbed to second place in the Group A standings, past South Korea and Uzbekistan!

From one draw and three losses in the first four rounds to the bottom of the group, to the second place in the group after eight rounds, four consecutive wins have the hope of qualifying directly, and the changes in the national football team during this period can undoubtedly be called "reborn".

And everyone knows that such a huge change is, of course, thanks to the national football coaching staff led by Lippi and Pan Yi.

If you go back to the game against Syria, the national football team defeated the opponent with a set of rotation lineups, which reflects the flexible use of the coaching staff, which shows that the national football team does not rely only on a few players.

Under the stimulation and guidance of the new coaching staff, even the original bench players can shine at critical moments and make their own contributions to the national football team!

"The starting lineup of the national football team in this game has been rotated by as many as five players, but the overall strength of the team has not been affected much, and it still takes the initiative in the game."

"Like Hao Junmin and Zhang Xizhe, they effectively drove the national team's offense throughout the game, Gao Lin, who came off the bench, also performed brilliantly, and Deng Hanwen and Yu Hanchao scored goals!"

"Especially Deng Hanwen, this young defender is only a BJ player who plays in the Chinese League, and he has not played a few games for the national team before. However, it is said that Pan Yi urged Lippi to let him start in place of the injured Mei Fang, and the result also achieved good results. ”

It can be said that Pan Yi has brought his fiery characteristics in the club to the national team! The national football team is very lucky! ”

In the end, various media praised the coaching staff composed of Lippi and Pan Yi.

"Replacing the five starters who won three consecutive games in one go, if it were any coach in China, I am afraid that he would not have such courage and confidence."

"Although there are some objective factors to make such a big adjustment, the fact is that many coaches will still ask them to play with injuries even if their core players are injured."

And Lippi and Pan Yi just waved their hands directly, and those who were injured should not be on it! This is for the sake of the team's form, but also for the player's career. This is the real world-class handsome! ”

"Now that we have won this game, we really have hope of qualifying! Thank you Lippi, thank you Pan Yi! ”

"Of course, as Lippi and Pan Yi said before, with our current strength, no matter what kind of opponent we face, we will not have an advantage. You can only rely on fighting one game after another to have a chance of winning, don't be too ambitious, and don't be arrogant. ”

"We can only trust them. Let's look forward to the next match against Uzbekistan at the end of August! ”

——

In fact, the ninth round of Group A was held around August 31.

At this point in time, for the club, it is actually already next season.

And as the owner of the club, it is time for Pan Yi to go back and prepare for the preparation of York City next season.

After a day off in Malaysia, Pan Yi said goodbye to the coaches and players of the national football team and flew straight to the United Kingdom.

The first thing he had to do when he returned was an important event - that is, the construction of the new stadium in York City was about to officially begin!

The construction engineering group of Dragon Country has already brought all kinds of large machinery to the location of the new stadium, and a large construction team has also arrived.

How big is it?

There are 15 truck cranes, 5 220-ton and 600-ton all-terrain cranes, 30 large excavators, 5 pump trucks, 20 mixer trucks, 3 rotary drills and 8 reach stackers......

After Pan Yi presided over a simple groundbreaking ceremony, the new York City Stadium was opened.

The new stadium was built, and the old stadium was not demolished, anyway, this place is big enough.

Until the new course is built, the old course can continue to be used, which also saves the trouble of having to rent the venue temporarily.

In the Yorkshire region, if you want to have a stadium that meets the standards of the Championship and the Premier League, you have to go to Leeds United or Sheffield;

And they are also going to participate in the league, which is not an easy task in itself, and people may not be willing to rent it to you.

Therefore, Pan Yi has already set such a plan, when the new stadium is built, the old stadium can also be converted into a commercial area, or used as a memorial, so that old fans can also reminisce about the ups and downs experienced here in the past few decades.

When the news of the start of construction of the new stadium broke, whether it was the local Yorkshire TV station, or the media from London, Liverpool and other places, they also came to the local area to watch and report.

Because it's not just a new stadium in York City, it's also the first stadium built by Dragon Architects in the UK!

According to Chief Engineer Zhu Zhongyi, due to the complex structural system of the new stadium, the team used Building Information Modeling technology from the beginning of the design to the final construction.

Based on the database of this technology and a large number of domestic independent research and development of operating procedures, the efficiency of modeling and drawing is increased by more than 80% compared with traditional means, and the simultaneous delivery of visual 3D models and traditional 2D drawings provides great convenience for the integration of design and construction.

This is also a point that has attracted the attention of the local media in the UK, and the Dragon Kingdom is now leading the world in this aspect of construction technology, and the title of "infrastructure madness" is really well deserved.

This also shows that the current "Made in Longguo" is no longer a general manufacturing, but a high-level manufacturing, which is the output of the whole industrial chain from products to services.

In order to better complete the work, the construction team of Dragon Kingdom also divided the whole project into several phases, starting from the south side of the stadium, then gradually increasing the number of construction units, and finally connecting all the parts, and only after the construction of the stadium is completed, will the construction of the surrounding area begin.

As previously planned, the entire football field is divided into 7 floors, and there is a multi-storey parking lot that can accommodate more than 10,000 cars underground.

The stadium is located on a large landscaped platform that brings visitors from all levels to the entrance level, with the main entrance plaza in the middle of the spectator seats.

This platform connects the stadium to the adjacent landscape and is scaled down.

The large parabolic void within the platform represents a different area of activity, and most spectators can enter and exit the stadium from the east exit.

The northeast-facing space will include a community market, while the southeast-facing space will be an event park where vehicles can enter from a parabolic space within the western platform, where athletes, officials, and dignitaries can get off their vehicles.

It is expected that the stadium will be a great fit for the area and will be the heart of York Town, with a wide range of community events in and around the stadium on non-match days.

And as for the name of this stadium......

Although it has not yet been finalized, according to a poll conducted among York City fans, the vast majority of people believe that the stadium should be called-

Pan Yi Stadium!

——

At the same time as the construction of the new stadium began, Pan Yi also had to start dealing with the money thrown by the major clubs.

Nothing else, York City has been doing too well this season!

And with most of the players in the squad being young future stars, it's almost impossible not to attract the attention of other clubs.

On this day, for example, Director Horta came to report to Pan Yi: "Manchester United made an offer to us, they want to be able to buy De Ligt and Alphonso Davies in a package, the bid is 30 million pounds, and they said that they can negotiate again. ”

Manchester United's determination to bring in defenders is predictable.

Their backline has not been solid in recent seasons.

It can also be said that since the departure of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, the legendary defensive pair, United have not been able to find a real replacement for them.

This season, Mourinho has often used a combination of Rojo + Bailly and sometimes Phil Jones, but it has not always felt so solid.

Including the full-backs, "Professor Yang" Ashley Young is diligent and diligent, but he is always a little bit away from a first-class star, and Damian on the other side can only be said to be decent.

It's no wonder Jose Mourinho drools over a young wing-back like Alphonso Davies, who is so fast and capable of making passes.

"Reject them, we've signed new contracts with the players, don't want to poach them!" Pan Yi refused without thinking about it.

Before the end of the season, Pan Yi chose to renew his contract with the players with a raise, isn't it just to prevent this?

These young players are the cornerstone of York City's future development, and Pan Yi really doesn't want to let any of them go.

Now he is not short of money!

Besides, when these young people came to Yorktown, they were all only seventeen or eighteen years old, and if they stayed in the team for another two years, they could get the "household registration book" one by one, wouldn't it be even more beautiful when the time came?

It's definitely more than worth the loss to sell it now.

Not to mention that York City will play in Europe next season, and the squad is already very thin now.

It's too late for Pan Yi to replenish personnel, so how can he sell people?

Again......

Manchester United wants to pack two potential stocks for the 30 million, is this thinking about peaches?

Whether it's De Ligt or Alphonso Davis, if you practice for another year or two, you can sell more than 80 million each!

"Okay. But there are still ......," Horta laughed again, "Arsenal have also made an offer to us, they want Armand, and the offer is 20 million pounds!" ”

Arsene Wenger has always wanted a fast striker, and that's a well-known thing.

Giroud is of course good, but he's really slow. Sanchez is on the thigh, but Wenger needs another wing.

It's a pity that Walcott, the "little tiger" who the professor promoted a long time ago, is now almost "injured", and the development of Joel Campbell, another player from Costa Rica, has not been able to meet expectations, and Wenger is ready to loan him out.

As a supplement, Arsene Wenger is of course hoping to buy a real "little motorcycle", and Armand, who has performed well in League One, has also come into his eyes.

To be honest, for Arsenal, which is relatively strapped for cash, it is not easy to offer a high price of 20 million for a League One player.

But obviously, Pan Yi's answer is still "NO".

"You tell Arsene Wenger that we are not open to the sale of any players at York City for the time being, so please go and see elsewhere." Pan Yi said, thought about it, and said with a smile, "You can also say that I suggested it, you can go to Fa 1 to have a look, there must be a fellow he likes there." ”

In Pan Yi's impression, at this point in his previous life, Wenger introduced Lacazette from Lyon in the French Ligue 1, and it seems that he spent fifty or sixty million pounds......

Of course, it is not that Arsenal's transfer budget this year has suddenly mentioned so high, but that some players in the team have left, freeing up some space.

For example, Oxlade-Chamberlain will be sold to Liverpool, and he will earn back 30 or 40 million pounds here.

And then the departures of people like Gabriel Paulista, Szczesny, Gibbs, etc., add up to almost enough to buy a Lacazette.

Anyway, I don't care how you Wenger tosses me, but don't think about the York City gold panning!

Besides, a player like Armand, although he performed really well last season and was selected for the Cameroon national team, Pan Yi feels that this guy's manual is only in his hands.

If Wenger plays any pass control, and as a result, Aman's weaknesses in basic skills are exposed, and in the end he can only be thrown on the cold bench, wouldn't it be a mistake?

Therefore, not selling is the best choice, so as not to lose three times.

"And Chelsea...... "Horta hesitated for a moment, then added, "they want to buy Baker." And Rice ......"

Chelsea is certainly a special one for Pan Yi.

But no matter how special it is, it is also necessary for the brothers to settle the account, and these two players can't give it either!

And the main reason why Chelsea want to buy from Pan Yi is that they have finally lost personnel.

Last season, despite winning the Premier League, the Blues lost the FA Cup final to York City and, more importantly, to Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

Cristiano Ronaldo's brace allowed Real Madrid to take revenge on Chelsea and regain the Champions League!

In other words, Chelsea's dominance in Europe has also declined to a certain extent, and it is definitely not as good as Pan Yi's seven-time title.

In the summer, Manchester United were the first to 'attack' Chelsea with cheques.

Jose Mourinho first spent 40 million pounds to bring in his favorite Matic, and then simply used 75 million pounds to get Lukaku away.

In addition, they also bought Sweden international Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £30 million...... It can be said that it was specifically aimed at Pan Yi's former disciples.

Perhaps in Mu Shuai's vision, using a central defender combination like Lindelof + De Ligt is his ideal match, but unfortunately De Ligt can't buy it.

As for Chelsea, having lost Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic, they will of course have to add to their respective positions.

Baker, who has won the Golden Boot in League Two and League One one one after another, although he is far from Lukakubi in terms of position, is "produced by Pan Yi" after all, and water can't be watered.

In addition, it is the big center they need the most now, so they still want to fight for it.

As for Rice, who was originally a Chelsea Academy graduate, he has been unpopular in the team before, but has now proven himself in League One and FA Cup competitions, and Chelsea will want him to return.

After hearing this, Pan Yi just nodded and said, "I'll call them directly to talk about this, so you don't have to worry about it for now." ”

With Pan Yi's friendship with Chelsea Club, it is indeed more suitable for Pan Yi to communicate directly with them.

Of course, there is only one outcome of communication, and that is the rejection of all acquisition requests.

For a local tyrant club like Chelsea, don't stare at the small temple in York City, go outside and buy some more people!

Of course, Pan Yi will also give his own advice to his old friends.

For example, Rudiger, who is still in Hamburg, is very good, and it would be good to buy it to supplement the defence, after all, captain John Terry is leaving.

In addition, I heard that Arteta also wanted to buy Real Madrid's Morata, Pan Yi would advise him to be cautious, for fear that he would ask for water......

In short, it's okay to recommend players and give buying advice, but to buy people from York City, there is no door!

And after rejecting the buyer requests from major clubs one by one, Pan Yi is also about to start acting.

The first is to formally promote players in the youth team who are already capable of playing in the Championship to the first team.

For example, Huang Zichang, he actually played a few first-team games last season, and his performance was not bad, so he will be given more opportunities this season.

The other two players are Kvaratskhelia and Saliba.

Both players are just over 16 years old, so it's a bit reluctant to let them play as a regular player, but they can train with the first team first, or they can get used to the atmosphere of the professional arena and then work their way up.

Then, there is a large-scale purchase plan, which is also Pan Yi's key work content this summer!

In his hands, there is already a long list of purchases.

Leao, Scamacca, De Jong, Barella, Tonali, DiMarco, Araujo, Tomori, Bastoni, Militão, Onana......

Basically, they are all positions that York City needs at the moment, and they are all potential stocks for the future.

Regardless of whether they will come or not, Pan Yi always has to try them one by one, as long as he can buy a few, he will definitely earn them in the future!

In order to play on multiple fronts next season, the first team needs to have a team of at least 20 or more high-quality players, so it is also necessary to buy so many players.

In addition, in this list, Pan Yi also deliberately increased the number of Italian players in all lines.

These can be said to be the hopes for the future of the Italian national team!

As for Pan Yi, he still hopes to personally lead a national team to the World Cup, and it is the kind that has the hope of winning the championship!

At present, it seems that he is getting closer and closer to the place of the Italian national team.

In the last few World Cup qualifiers in the European zone, Italy's performance can be described as very poor.

In their head-to-head match with Spain away, they lost 0:3 and were almost powerless.

And that's not all, in the next match against the weak team North Macedonia they were forced to draw 1:1 by their opponents - North Macedonia seems to be the real sufferers of Italy, in Pan Yi's previous life, it was they who defeated Italy in the European play-offs of the 2022 World Cup, leaving them out of the World Cup for two consecutive years.

The results of these two games have almost disqualified the Italian team from the group, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that they will be forced to play in the play-offs.

Italian coach Ventura has also been on the cusp of public opinion, and countless Italian fans have called for him to get out of class quickly!

And for Pan Yi, who was recommended by Lippi, he can indeed start to take precautions.

The squad of the Italian national team is really not good at the moment.

The most solid backline is now old, and the backfield formed by Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli has begun to make mistakes on a regular basis;

In the midfield, De Rossi is also old, and the strikers of Immobile and Belotti are also embarrassed.

So Pan Yi is trying to find a way to bring those future stars of Italy to his team first, practice well, and then go out to play for the country!

Wouldn't it be nice to earn on both sides in this way?

After determining the target, Pan Yi began to visit one by one according to the names on the list of little demons.

The first is his most important goal this summer: the Italian, Tonali!
