Chapter 314 Extraordinary like Messi, shoot Husky

"They play a traditional 442-[-]-[-] formation, and when we are marking their double strikers, we must pay attention to guarding against Gudjohnsen's shot. And the other striker... Just pay attention to blocking his passing route. , let him shoot."

At the pre-match preparation meeting for the League Cup, Pan Yi said so.

Although Bolton is only a Championship team, and there is still a certain gap in strength compared with Chelsea, Pan Yi still carefully arranges his own tasks for the coaches and players, and arranges detailed tactical details.

After all, in English football, there are many strong teams that overturned in the League Cup and FA Cup.

So even if facing a weak team, Pan Yi still can't underestimate the enemy too much.

It's just that when he talked about the defense against the striker, he said the above words.

This is actually a relatively rare phenomenon.

After all, most of those who can play forwards have their own accomplishments in shooting. How could Pan Yi let him shoot?
Unless his name is - Husky.

The famous former England international!
This is a character who made Sterling cry when he heard it, and Werner shook his head after watching it.

62 goals in 7 games for the national team, 516 goals in 110 games for the Premier League... With such a scoring efficiency, he should have been a name that most young fans would never remember.

However, thanks to the frenzy of jokes on the Internet, many people, even if they have never watched his 1-minute game, will still shout out this sentence familiarly:

Extraordinary like Messi, shoot Husky!
Whenever there is a star who is outstanding on the court and finally has a weak shot, the fans will use this sentence on him;

Incidentally, this is also an expression of admiration for Messi's dribbling skills, as well as a ridicule of Husky's shooting level.

Although this sentence is dedicated to Dragon Country fans, complaining about Husky's shooting skills is not the patent of Dragon Country fans.

This has been "affirmed" by Husky himself!

He even published an autobiography many years after retiring, and the name of this book is "Even the Heskeys scored goals".

Of course, in England, British fans have been complaining about him for many years.

Or it can be said that he used to be almost the only one in the world of jokes in the English fan circle.

Even though he has retired for many years now, his legend is still circulating in the world.

Here are a few of the more famous ones:

1. Goalkeeper Green trained for 3 hours today, and he didn't concede a goal in the face of 4000 shots.

Therefore, he decided to persuade Husky to participate in tomorrow's team training.

2. The efficiency of the Husky national team is not inferior to the two legends. How dare you be a bad shooter like this?

Huskey (England): 62 goals in 7 games

Hiquita (Colombia): 68 goals in 8 games

Chilavert (Paraguay): 74 goals in 8 games

3. What should you do if you see Husky rushing to hit you?
Hurry up and pretend to be a goal!

4, 3000 million + Husky?
In this way, Sunderland accepted the offer of 2400 million pounds for Bent.

5. Rooney used to be called White Bailey.

With that said, I should call Torres the White Husky.

……

The existence of Husky can even "unite" the British and German fans.

In September 2001, England beat Germany 9-5 in a World Cup qualifier.

The disastrous defeat to the old enemy made the German fans very frustrated.

At this time, the British fans who accompanied the team sang loudly in praise of their heroes after the game.

However, what they praised was not the golden boy Michael Owen who scored a hat-trick in this game, but Heskey who scored the last goal.

The improvised line goes something like this: "Oh yeah, even the Husky scored! Hahahaha!"

The originally sad German fans turned their grief into joy when they heard this song, and even joined in the chorus.

The lyrics of this song eventually became the name of Husky's autobiography.

All in all, the Husky's shooting level is really difficult to describe.

However, with a striker of this level, why can he have a place in the England national team after seven coaches?
It is because he is willing to be a green leaf and a wingman.

He used his strong body to protect the ball and used his height advantage to ferry various headers, becoming the fulcrum of the striker.

He is a typical supporting hero. He fed Owen all the way from the chasing boy to Mr. Golden Ball. He also got 53 Premier League assists equal to Van Persie, only two less than Scholes.

From a certain point of view, Husky is actually somewhat similar to Lukaku in Chelsea's current team.

They are all tall and strong, black and hard, and as centers, they all have the explosive power and speed to pull to the side.

Even in terms of Husky's fulcrum role and assists, Pan Yi hopes that Lukaku can be at his level.

Of course, don't learn from him in shooting. If it really develops like that, Pan Yi will probably be on the court every day, holding his head and pulling his hair, and eventually he will be the same as melon bald.

In short, it was for this reason that Pan Yi asked his players to pay more attention to blocking Hesky's passing route during the game, and not to worry too much about his shooting.

For a striker who can only score one goal every five or six games, let him play freely!

On the evening of September 9th, Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Chelsea, who got the home team sequence, played against Bolton at home.

Although it was only the third round of the League Cup and the opponent was only a Championship team, the game still attracted tens of thousands of fans to watch the game.

This of course has its inevitable reasons.

One of the reasons, of course, is that under the leadership of Pan Yi, Chelsea have shown a bursting state this season.

Winning all five games in the Premier League and defeating Dortmund in the Champions League, all Chelsea are full of expectations for this new blue team.

The second reason is that Chelsea's style of play is very changeable and smooth, and there are a large number of goals in every game.

Who doesn't like to see more beautiful goals in the stadium?

The third reason is Gudjohnsen.

This may be the most famous player in Icelandic history. He joined Bolton, who was still in the Premier League, in 98.

Due to his excellent performance at Bolton, he was poached by Chelsea two years later, and formed a strong strike partner with Dutch striker Hasselbaink.

In the following 01/02 Premier League season, he scored 14 league goals to Hasselbaink's 23.

He then spent six seasons at Chelsea until Barcelona bought him.

Later, he moved to Monaco, Tottenham, Stoke City, Fulham and other teams, and this summer he joined Bolton who once played for him.

He is 35 years old this year, and like Husky, he is still playing in the British Championship.

And Gudjohnsen has always had a relatively high status in the minds of Chelsea fans, so this time it can be regarded as his trip home, and the Blues fans naturally want to bless the old player at Stamford Bridge.

The fourth reason, of course, is also due to Husky.

After all, he is the Taishan Beidou of England fans!
Who doesn't want to witness his shooting performance again in the stands?

And as a veteran who played 62 times for the England national team, there is really no credit and hard work. Chelsea fans also want to pay their respects to him.

After all, Husky is 36 years old today, and he has one less game to watch.

Therefore, this seemingly ordinary League Cup match is hard to get a ticket!
On the first day of ticket sales, more than 4 tickets were sold out, and even many fans who couldn't get tickets were looking for scalpers everywhere, wanting to buy a ticket.

Even for this game that was scheduled to be held at night, many fans flocked to the vicinity of Stamford Bridge since the morning.

People who didn't know thought it was a Champions League game! ——
In today's game, Pan Yi rested all the players who played against Manchester City before, and then almost changed the entire starting lineup.

Even the starting goalkeeper was replaced by veteran Petr Cech.

Although Cech, as a traditional goalkeeper, cannot meet Pan Yi's requirements in terms of control of the field and short passes, he is still a very good goalkeeper after all.

Otherwise, he would not have played the main force at Arsenal for several years after leaving Chelsea in the future.

So in this season, although Pan Yi will reuse Courtois, he will still use Cech in relatively unimportant games such as the League Cup and the FA Cup.

This can also form a competitive relationship between goalkeepers. After all, there is such a world-class goalkeeper as his substitute. If Courtois, the main force, does not train hard, he will probably be replaced!
However, due to the different characteristics between Cech and Courtois, the conduction tactics and habits of the backcourt have undergone a small change;

Coupled with the fact that today's starting players have relatively little time to cooperate together, this makes Chelsea's cooperation a bit jerky after the opening.

Especially on the defensive line, Pan Yi sent a "18-year-old young and beautiful boy combination" such as Ake, Zuma, and Christensen. There were also many problems in the relationship with Petr Cech, which made Chelsea got off to a bad start.

On the contrary, Bolton took full advantage of Chelsea's weakness and created a chance in the opening 2 minutes.

When the game progressed to the 15th minute, Cancelo failed to defend the opponent immediately, Bolton made a diagonal pass to the right, and Husky stepped in to catch the ball.

At this time, Christensen hurriedly stood in front of Hesky, blocking the angle of his shot.

But Heskey did not intend to shoot, but immediately passed the ball to the goal.

Gudjohnsen stepped in behind and scored before Zouma made a clearance, opening the scoring for Bolton!

Bolton unexpectedly took the lead by one goal in the away game!

This goal also greatly inspired Bolton's morale.

Each of their players is very clear that this game is facing Chelsea, and they are facing the current Premier League, or the most popular head coach in the world, Pan Yi.

As long as they can beat Chelsea and Pan Yi, what awaits them is a chance to become famous!

Even for veterans like Gudjohnsen and Husky, of course they also hope to be remembered by more fans at the end of their careers!

And Pan Yi, who had been sitting calmly on the coach's bench since the start of the game, also walked to the sideline with a slightly angry look at this time, shouting to the field:

"Christensen! What are you doing?"

At this time, the Bolton players on the field were celebrating a goal, so Christensen heard the shout and saw the coach waving at him, and immediately ran out quickly.

"Didn't I already say that? Focus on Heskey's passing lanes, not block his shots! Where are your ears?"

Christensen nodded nervously, knowing that he made a mistake: "I...I forgot. I saw the opponent's striker rushing into the penalty area, and I made a defensive move subconsciously."

After all, he is still an 18-year-old kid!
His age is even younger than Ake and Zuma who also started today.

Moreover, both Ake and Zouma have played for a relatively long time in previous games, but Christensen is the first time to represent Chelsea in an official game!

So he was still a little nervous.

In addition, he played the middle position of the most important three central defenders today, and the cooperation with his teammates was not tacit enough, which made him a little at a loss.

Therefore, when Bolton's two experienced old forwards made such an impact just now, he was a little confused, and he had already thrown Pan Yi's pre-match instructions to Java.

"Don't be nervous, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Think carefully about what I said at the pre-match preparation meeting, and don't panic."

Christensen nodded vigorously, "I see how to do it."

"Remember, keep calm and try to control the ball when you get the ball. If you are not sure, then try to pass as little forward as possible and pass more to the sides. When defending, you still have to pay attention to cutting off their passes. The route of the ball, and the rest can be done according to the usual training.”

Christensen nodded again. "I see, boss!"

"Go." Pan Yi patted him on the back and sent him back to the court.

But Pan Yi did not retreat, but shouted at Zouma on the field, indicating that he should be bolder and more aggressive when defending the opponent's striker.

Although Christensen failed to prevent Hesky's pass just now, there is still a chance to make amends.

That is, if Zuma can make better use of his physical advantages and get Gudjohnsen stuck behind him, then it will be difficult for the Icelanders to have a good posture for exerting force. Even if they succeed in shooting, they will easily hit high due to technical deformation Or miss.

But when Zuma saw the ball passing just now, he just wanted to clear the siege immediately, so he was shot first by the flexible Gudjohnsen.

This is also a common problem of young central defenders. There will often be problems with concentration and instant judgment on the field.

But the central defender is like this, it needs a lot of games to hone, to sum up experience and lessons in the non-stop conceding goals, and then grow step by step.

Otherwise, why do central defenders always grow up later than forwards?
Forwards rely more on talent and spirituality to play, while defenders need more discipline and experience.

The same goes for goalkeepers.

And Zuma also nodded to his head coach, expressing that he heard it.

"Keep kicking well, but if you forget the important points I explained before, be careful and I will kick your ass hard!"

In the end, Pan Yi shouted into the arena, and everyone nodded, expressing that they received it!
-
Although Gudjohnsen's goal just now made the Chelsea fans at the scene not too happy, they still gave their applause for the old player.

After the game restarted, Chelsea fans also gave more applause to these teenagers on the field.

Obviously, after Pan Yi shouted and adjusted, the confidence of these young defenders began to become stronger, and their passing in the midfield began to gradually become smoother.

Passing and receiving the ball was a bit slow and hesitant at first, but now he plays very concisely and efficiently, often receiving the ball with one kick and delivering the ball with one kick.

And Ake, Zuma, including Cancelo, Schurle and others on both sides will also actively retreat to move around Christensen.

"Okay, take your time, that's it, don't worry, first control the ball and stabilize the rhythm."

The players on the court can also hear Pan Yi's shouts all the time.

Chelsea is dominant in strength, as long as they play steadily, they can win. This is the concept that Pan Yi has been instilling in the players before the game.

But if the score is behind now, everyone starts to get impatient and kicks around, then it is not far from being upset and eliminated.

As Christensen gradually entered the role, coupled with the support of teammates around him at any time, Chelsea's midfield pass and control gradually became smoother.

Bolton tried to come out to press several times but failed to achieve results, but Chelsea's offense became sharper every time.

In the 30th minute of the game, Schurrle retreated to meet Christensen, and when he received the ball with his back to the attacking direction, the opposing defender Reem followed closely behind him.

But at the moment when the German received the ball, he suddenly stopped and turned around to get rid of it. After throwing off Ream, he suddenly rushed forward with the ball.

At this time, another Bolton defender DeWitt rushed over and directly broke the ball out of the bottom line with a tackle.

Chelsea corner.

Schurrle personally took the ball and the ball flew into the penalty area.

At this time, Christensen, who had already rushed into the penalty area, seized the most favorable position in advance and scored a header from close range!
Bolton goalkeeper Bogdan couldn't react at all, the ball hit the net directly!

The whistle of the referee's effective goal sounded, and the audience cheered thunderously!
One to one!

Everyone on the court rushed to Christensen, celebrating his goal.

Although this is only a goal in a League Cup match, it is Christensen's first goal on behalf of the first team!
As a central defender, scoring goals is relatively rare, let alone being the first!

So everyone slapped his head in various ways, almost balding his hair!

And Pan Yi on the sidelines smiled.

Children can be taught!
Christensen's performance before the goal has shown that he is no longer nervous mentally and can better participate in the game.

And this goal is a full manifestation of his relaxation and good performance.

"Okay, that's it, keep this rhythm, keep playing like this." Pan Yi applauded and shouted from the sidelines.

After the equalizer, Chelsea's players became significantly more confident.

The midfield controls the ball more smoothly, making it difficult for Bolton players who are not as skilled as Chelsea to grab the ball.

As soon as the midfield and backcourt had an advantage, Chelsea's strong offensive firepower in the frontcourt was immediately reflected.

Just 3 minutes after their equalizer goal, Christensen launched an attack with a long pass. He transferred the ball to the wing. Cancelo dribbled the ball inside and crossed. Another goal against Bolton!

After the score was reversed, Chelsea seemed to be even more morale, attacking wave after wave.

Bolton was beaten dizzily under Chelsea's fierce offensive. When they finally woke up, the first half was over.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Bolton began to consciously strengthen his defense, wanting to fight Chelsea's counterattack.

However, the counterattack opportunities they obtained with great difficulty after stealing the ball often failed in the face of the targeted defensive strategies of Chelsea's defenders.

In particular, it is difficult for Gudjohnsen to have a chance to shoot. He can only pass the ball to Husky on the other side.

Then Husky had no choice but to shoot under the "watching" of Ake, Christensen and others. As a result, either the ball was hit in the stands, or the shot was weak and was easily confiscated by Cech.

Soon, in the stands of Stamford Bridge, the "familiar" singing sounded again:

"Oh yeah, Husky still can't score! Hahahaha!"

On the Chelsea side, the more they fought, the more courageous they became. In the 67th and 84th minutes, Cancelo and Schurrle scored a goal respectively.

In the end, Chelsea beat Bolton 4:1 and successfully advanced to the next round of the League Cup.
-
"I don't care about the result of this game, what I care about is the performance of the young players on the court."

In the comprehensive interview area after the game, Pan Yi was interviewed by reporters from England and European media.

"Today we used less of this lineup in the previous games, and the cooperation between the players was also slightly worse, so we encountered a little difficulty after the opening."

"But I am very relieved that they adjusted their state quickly and then proved their ability with goals."

"It's very important for Chelsea. I need all the players in good shape and available when I need them."

Pan Yi also spoke highly of Christensen, who started the game and opened the scoring for the first time.

"He is a very good defender and he can bring a lot of help to the team."

"He's an active defender, not a passive defender. Simply put, he's an active attacking centre-back, not a dragging centre-back."

"He is good at going first, defending consecutively to eliminate threats, while defending with the front foot instead of recklessly changing speeds and tackles. It is also one of the characteristics of his defensive intelligence."

"And his technique is also very good. He can observe the position of his teammates on the field and give accurate passes."

"As well as his goal from the corner, he also created chances with that long pass to Cancelo."

"The parameters for assessing a player's efficiency and ability often include the following: Is the player creating a better attacking situation? Is his team in better condition at other stages before or after the action?"

"Good players always create better situations out of static possession and in those instances, Christensen did well."

"I can say that what he lacks is experience. Fortunately, he is only 18 years old this year and he has enough time to grow."

"I have reason to believe that he can grow into a world-class central defender in the future!"

When Pan Yi said this, of course he had his own confidence.

In his previous life, Christensen was also a player who played in Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​​​and his ability lies there.

In this life, after Pan Yi's guidance, he had to take a few detours and go directly to a world-class central defender?

In fact, it also includes Ake, Zuma, Chick, etc., and even Salah, Van Dijk, etc. that Pan Yi recruited when he was in Milan. Their growth in the previous life was always accompanied by various changes. .

For example, whether the coach appreciates it, whether the game is trained enough, whether the tactics are suitable, whether the position is played smoothly, etc., which has led to some of them needing more teams and time to hone. growing up.

For example, Salah.

When he was at Chelsea, he was not a traditional winger. He was more of a striker who was active on the wing, and even a bit of a No. 10. In today's words, he is an inside forward.

But at that time Mourinho was not a coach who was good at positional warfare. In the past, his use of traditional wingers was the key to making Chelsea proud of the Premier League.

So under Mourinho's system, Salah, who is actually not really qualified for the winger's work, is not effective in holding the ball with his back after habitually receiving the ball in the middle.

This made Mourinho's impression of him worse and worse, and he played fewer and fewer games in the end. Under the vicious circle, it was impossible for Salah to play.

Later, Salah went to Serie A to play with confidence, especially after being bought by Klopp to Liverpool, his characteristics were fully utilized, and he truly became a world-class star.

Salah is actually quite lucky. After all, there are still many talented players who died in various ordeals.

Those who have played FM games know that there may be many players with high potential in the world who may grow into world-class superstars, but in the end they can only play in ordinary small leagues, or even give up halfway.

And those players who have great potential but haven't practiced, no one will remember their names.

Including many people who carry out game simulations to create players with the potential of Ronaldo and Messi to develop freely in the Dragon Kingdom. In the end, they can only reach the level of the Dragon Kingdom international at the highest level.

The potential value is 200, and the final ability value may only be 100!

But under Pan Yi's leadership, many of these similar problems no longer exist.

As long as Pan Yi trains them well and gives them more opportunities to play, their talents can always be realized!
Of course, in order to prevent more and younger talented players from dying at the beginning, Pan Yi is also very concerned about Chelsea's youth training system.

Not just players like Christensen who have grown up.

For those smaller players, Pan Yi has already started planning...
