Chapter 339 Here you are!
"This Tottenham team probably won't be able to beat Chelsea."

Lineker's voice rang through the Sky Sports studio.

And then, the former England legend even sighed.

Chelsea star Zola was still invited in today's studio, but another Tottenham star was not invited as usual.

that is because--

Lineker himself is the old Tottenham!

In June 1989, Lineker was called by his mentor Venables and moved to Tottenham Hotspur for £6 million.

In Tottenham's three seasons, he scored 3 goals in 105 league games and won the FA Cup with the team in 77.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem saying that Lineker is a Tottenham star.

"Although it can be seen that Pochettino has done a lot of detailed research on Pan Yi's formation and responded well in this game, it seems that Pan Yi is also concerned about Pochettino's changes. I have already prepared myself."

Lineker went on to analyze:
"Chelsea's attacking is very rhythmic and very layered, and they don't get thrown off by tackles."

"For the goal just now, after Hazard was rammed, Lukaku in the middle came to press immediately, and at this time Chelsea's entire formation was tilted to this side, that is, to inject a lot of troops here."

"This shows that Chelsea has already made plans for such an offensive encounter. The moment the ball is intercepted, it must immediately concentrate on counter-stealing and a second attack."

"Obviously this is a very correct strategy, because at this time Tottenham's players are in a state of counterattack after stealing the ball. At this time, the possession of the ball changes again, which makes Tottenham's defense very unstable. "

"As soon as Lukaku got the ball, he passed it to Bernardo Silva who came to the space in the ribs, and then there was a good cooperation between Lukaku and Kante immediately. Also ran to the gap between the two central defenders of Tottenham, got a single chance and scored."

Alan Shearer also agreed with Lineker's analysis very much, and also said:

"Yes. Chelsea's pressing in the frontcourt can be said to be the most layered team."

"I don't know if you have noticed. After Hazard was intercepted, in fact, except for Lukaku and Bernardo Silva who were on the front line, they came to press immediately. At this time, all the players in Chelsea's midfield had A clear move forward."

"This kind of movement means that Chelsea have more backs. Even if Lukaku fails to press this time, Dell can pick the ball out, but the Tottenham player who receives the ball will immediately face more presses, and the probability of conceding the ball is still the same. Big."

"Unless Tottenham chooses a large-scale transfer, it may be possible to break Chelsea's layered frontcourt press, but after all, there are only a few players with this ability, at least Dell is not."

"Of course, I can also reasonably guess that if the player holding the ball at this time is a world-class player who can play more penetrating passes, Pan Yi may be another strategy to deal with it..."

Lineker smiled again: "You said before that if you play in the current Chelsea team, you will definitely not be the main player. But what I want to say is that if a forward like me who does not defend comes, I must have been kicked back to my hometown by Pan Yi during the trial training..."

This is an affirmation of Pan Yi's comprehensive playing style as a Chelsea center forward.

After all, Lineker has not only won the England Footballer of the Year, but also not only the top scorer in the World Cup.

He is a very prolific shooter!

In fact, in the 1981 seasons from 1992 to 12, Lineker actually scored fewer than 1 goals in only one year, and that was the year when Barcelona played right midfielder instead of forward.

Forwards with this efficiency say that they cannot get into Pan Yi's eyes, which shows how high Pan Yi's requirements are for forwards.

As we all know, Lineker also has a proud record, that is, he has never received a yellow or red card throughout his career, so he has been nicknamed "Mr. Clean" and "Gentleman of Football".

However, this is somewhat related to his role as a forward and rarely participating in defense.

After all, in the 90s, forwards were indeed rarely involved in defense.

In other words, even at a later stage, the striker still focuses on scoring goals.

Can you imagine forwards like Ronaldo and Romario running all over the field every day, staring at other defenders and rushing to grab the ball?
Let's put it this way, if you let Romario run a few more steps, he will lose! The same is true of "Brother Chic" Berbatov.

Times are really different.

If Lineker is allowed to play in the current Chelsea team and carry people with his body every day, he will get a yellow card sooner or later.

"Able to fight, serve as a fulcrum, and score goals, these are all real modern forwards." Alan Shearer also said with emotion, "Fortunately, we were all born more than ten or twenty years earlier, otherwise we would be exhausted, haha. "

"It's not just the strikers who have higher requirements." Carragher also said, "A central defender like me may still be able to play in some mid- and lower-level teams now, but in Pan Yi's Chelsea team, he is absolutely Can't play the ball."

One of the most obvious characteristics of modern central defenders is that the requirements for passing ability and even dribbling ability have become very high.

The traditional central defender only needs to do a good job defensively, which is almost the same as the traditional center forward who only requires offense.

In Chelsea's current team, Terry and Cahill's passing ability is already considered very good, so they can also have more opportunities to play under Pan Yi's command.

But Pan Yi is indeed using greater efforts to train young central defenders like Ake who are more capable of playing the ball.

Because what he requires, the ideal center back is to be able to do a good job of defense while having the ability to pass the ball suddenly and advance forward, instantly adding firepower to the attack in the frontcourt.

Of course, there is such a template for a central defender in the current Chelsea team, and that is David Luiz.

He is an all-round central defender who has skills at his feet, can pass the ball or dribble the ball, and is also a speedy, high-bouncing central defender.

If there is any weakness in him, it is that sometimes he is frizzy in handling the ball and easily agitated emotionally.

But everyone must have shortcomings, otherwise wouldn't they be invincible?
In fact, if you say a thousand words and say ten thousand things, there is only one word: "Almighty".

The striker is required to be able to defend, the defender is required to be able to attack, the winger can be a winger, and the winger can also be a winger.

Needless to say, midfielders are all kinds of all-round midfielders, all kinds of B2B, and even goalkeepers can also be sweepers.

And many coaches actually understand this truth, but it is difficult to find or train these players, and blend them together to form a perfect lineup.

Now Pan Yi's Chelsea has done it, so they will appear so invincible.

Lineker concludes:
"Pan Yi subverted football."

"If it weren't for his existence, the teams and coaches in the Premier League might not be as embarrassed as they are today."

"Because under the background of Pan Yi, whether it is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, Van Gaal's Manchester United, or Pochettino's Tottenham today, they all feel very backward. Both offense and defense are very monotonous."

"Pan Yi has been changing football and injecting new ideas into world football."

"And it all started when he entered professional football in 2011..."
-
The game has reached the second half.

The fighting on the court has become more intense, and scenes of people turning their backs on their backs are not uncommon.

After all, this is a battle of mortal enemies!
Chelsea's players naturally hope to beat their opponents at home, while Tottenham's players are not to be outdone, thinking that they can regain a little bit of momentum, and then find a way to equalize the score.

In this way, the smell of gunpowder will come.

In the 67th minute, Seat B took the ball on the right, and then knocked back to Azpilicueta who stepped in to respond.

The Spaniard made a pass to the middle, and then passed it back to the center circle of his own half and handed it to Kanter.

Kanter just got the ball, and Dell directly shoveled towards this side!
The goal in the first half was largely due to his being intercepted, so he was also suffocated.

And Kanter couldn't dodge in time, and was directly shoveled to the ground!
The ball rolled to the right again, Azpilicueta got the ball again, and Danny Rose also rushed over quickly and made another tackle!
This time, Azpilicueta shoveled out of the sideline with the ball.

The referee's whistle sounded at this time.

But Danny Rose's tackle happened right next to Chelsea's home team's bench, and Azpilicueta even rolled into his own bench. Now Chelsea players and coaches quit.

They rushed forward one by one, looking for Danny Rose's theory.

And the bench on Tottenham's side also rushed up, and the two sides immediately twisted into a ball.

The referee blew his whistle again and again, and finally pulled the players on both sides aside.

And then...not a single yellow card!

Only a free kick was awarded to Chelsea along the right.

However, the two sides did not make a big deal.

This is mainly because there are actually many acquaintances in the two teams.

For example, Paulinho and Pan Yi are very good mentors and apprentices, and they are both Brazilian internationals with David Luiz and others;

Another example is that Tottenham has Vertonghen, Moussa Dembele, and Shadley so many fellow Belgians;

Not to mention that there are teams with French and England international players on both sides.

Even Tottenham's Pochettino and Chelsea's Scaloni are old acquaintances from Argentina, and Tottenham's starting Lamela and Fazio are also Argentine.

So everyone didn't make any noise, so they went back and continued playing football.

Pan Yi is even more fine, he has always disliked talking about it off the court, or actually doing it, as long as the players are not injured.

The scale of the Premier League is huge, and there is really nothing the referee can do if he does not give a card.

At this time, I only heard Scaloni talking to the opponent's substitute goalkeeper. It's the ball!" No one can convince anyone of this kind of remarks.

Under the dissuasion of the fourth official, the two talents died down.

Then, Pan Yi suddenly heard Scaloni yelling in Spanish: "Give it to you two? Give you two!"

Turning around, I saw Walm Mitchell staring at Scaloni without speaking, with a feeling of "try to look at me again?" "Try it!"

Pan Yi scratched his head involuntarily.

An Argentinian said to a Dutchman, "Here's to you two wowo", how is this scene so familiar? ——
The game continues.

In the 78th minute, Chelsea got the ball in midfield and immediately attacked.

And Tottenham retreated quickly, and all the players returned to their positions in an instant.

At this time, Chelsea's frontcourt has undergone some changes.

Lukaku suddenly ran from the center to the left, looking like he was going to run to catch the ball.

However, Hazard, who was originally standing on the left side, ran to the center and changed positions with Oscar, who came on the bench on the right side of the B seat.

This series of actions confused Tottenham's defensive players, and they didn't know how to defend.

Because now standing at the center suddenly becomes Oscar, while the left winger is Lukaku, and the right winger is Hazard.

At this time, David Luiz, who was advancing with the ball in the middle, made an overhead pass directly.

The ball just missed Vertonghen's header and landed behind him.

At this time, Lukaku, who had already run to the left, suddenly stopped and turned around, chasing after David Luiz's pass.

It turns out that Oscar and Hazard are both feints, and Lukaku is the main direction of attack here!
At this time, Fazio, another Tottenham central defender, quickly chased back and stuck to Lukaku tightly, preventing him from having another single-handed chance.

And Lukaku stepped forward, and when he reached the penalty area line, he found that there was no way to completely get rid of Fazio's defense, so he simply volleyed vigorously!
The ball almost stuck to the turf, and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal at an extremely fast speed.

However, at the moment when the ball was about to enter the net, Tottenham goalkeeper Lori rushed to the ground very quickly and blocked the ball!
Before the annoyed "oh" sound from the Stamford Bridge fans fell, another blue figure also appeared in the penalty area and kicked the flying ball hard.

This time, the ball flew into Tottenham's goal almost in a straight line!
It's Oscar!

He completed a key supplementary shot!

Lori wanted to stand up and catch the ball again, but it was impossible to touch the ball again.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"This time it's Oscar!"

"Oscar, who just came on, took advantage of a supplementary shot to help Chelsea expand the score to 2:0!"

"This time it was a beautiful switch from Chelsea's attacking trio up front and it ended up being an effective attack."

"Although Lukaku's shot was blocked, Oscar's timely follow-up ensured the goal."

"Actually, we can see from the slow motion that Hazard has also inserted into the penalty area. Even if Oscar fails to grab the second spot, Hazard is still waiting behind him."

"And Tottenham's defense seemed to be confused by Chelsea's dazzling cooperation, and everyone stood in a daze..."

On the sidelines, Pan Yi and the coaching staff were also cheering loudly for the goal.

Scaloni even waved his arms provocatively towards the Tottenham bench, but was pulled down by Pan Yi.

Enough is enough, otherwise it will be bad to be suspended and fined.

On Tottenham's side, no one even noticed Scaloni's actions.

Because they are all lost.

Especially coach Pochettino.

He spent a lot of time studying Pan Yi's tactics, and finally came up with today's formation and starting lineup, but in the end he was cracked by Pan Yi.

It can be said that Tottenham did little on the offensive end in this battle tonight.

On the defensive end, although the theoretical performance is actually not bad, but under Chelsea's various sharp penetrations and pressing, there are also problems.

"We lost!" Pochettino sighed helplessly.

At Chelsea's home court, there were only 10 minutes left in the game and they were two goals behind. Pochettino knew better than anyone that Tottenham had actually been powerless.

The teaching assistants next to him also nodded helplessly.

They can only accept the fact that Chelsea is better than Tottenham today.

No one likes to concede defeat, but if a stronger team, a better team wins, then there's nothing to say.

And after all, Tottenham can be regarded as playing at their own level, and they only conceded two goals under such strong pressure from Chelsea.

You look at Arsenal next door, look at Manchester United...
-
At the end of the game, Chelsea finally defeated Tottenham 2-0 with goals from Lukaku and Oscar.

This is also their 14th consecutive victory in the Premier League this season!

While tying Arsenal's winning streak, they also raised the Premier League's winning streak to a height that is difficult for future generations to match.

After the game, there were naturally many media reports about this game, but it can be summed up in this sentence:

"Who can end Pan Yi? Who can add even a little bit of suspense to this season's Premier League championship?"

After all, in the BIG6, Chelsea have already played all of them, and they also won a complete victory!

And whether it is the score or the scene, it seems to be one-sided.

3:1曼城,4:1阿森纳,5:0曼联,3:1利物浦,2:0热刺……

Scored 17 goals and conceded only 3 goals.

this is too scary!

And if even BIG6 can't stop Pan Yi and his Chelsea, how can other teams have the confidence to do so?
"Maybe just try West Ham and Southampton, who have been doing well this season?"

Some media have mentioned this, but they don't actually have much confidence.

Although these two teams have always been in the top six of the standings, after all, from the perspective of lineup, they cannot be compared with BIG6.

In the past 14th round, Southampton also lost to Arsenal 0:1, which makes people feel that it is difficult for them to maintain such a good state.

However, before actually facing these two dark horses, Chelsea used their sharper performance to make people jaw-dropping.

Just two days after the victory over Tottenham, Chelsea challenged Newcastle United away.

Newcastle's performance this season is actually not bad, ranking 14th after 9 rounds, between Liverpool and Tottenham.

But the suspense of the game was killed at 30 minutes.

Just 5 minutes into the game, Willian opened the scoring for Chelsea.

In the 18th and 28th minutes, Cancelo and Ake contributed to Chelsea respectively, expanding the score to 0:3.

At this time, no one thought Chelsea would lose.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Chelsea scored another long shot from Ramirez, and finally beat Newcastle with four goals.

So far, they have also officially broken Arsenal's 15-year record with 15 consecutive victories!
The entire Premier League was stunned!
-
However, at this time, Chelsea ushered in a draw.

It's just that this draw did not appear in the Premier League.

Four days after taking down Newcastle, Chelsea are at home to Sporting Lisbon in the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Compared with Chelsea, which is lightly packed, and Sporting Lisbon, which still has a glimmer of hope, it is natural that the fighting spirit of the latter will be stronger.

After they withstood Chelsea's opening attack, William Carvalho scored a long-range shot to open the scoring for Sporting Lisbon.

After changing sides in the second half and playing again in the 55th minute, Chelsea took advantage of a corner kick and scored with a header from Christensen to equalize the score.

But it didn't take long for Sporting Lisbon to pass from Nani's side. Center Mondello rushed into the left side of the penalty area at high speed and hit the goal with a header from close range. Sporting Portugal once again surpassed the score, 1:2.

In the 78th minute, after the adjustment of Pan Yi's substitutions, Chelsea's offensive gradually became stronger. In the end, Matic also scored a long shot and equalized the score again.

The score of 2:2 was also maintained until the end.

This is also the only time Chelsea failed to win in the Champions League this season!
However, since this is an "irrelevant" game for Chelsea, the media did not play it up to a large extent.

And Sporting Lisbon was not delighted by the draw against Chelsea, because their efforts failed to achieve good results in the end. After all, they did not get a life-saving three-pointer.

In another venue, Dortmund also narrowly beat Rome 2:1.

With this victory, Dortmund also successfully qualified from the group with 8 points!

The games of other groups also came to an end.

In Group A, Juventus drew Atletico Madrid 0:0 in the critical life-and-death battle, thus overwhelmed Olympiacos in the same group by 1 point, and joined hands with Atletico Madrid to qualify.

Group B broke out a moderate upset.

Due to Liverpool's consecutive draws with Ludogorets and Basel in the last two rounds, the final points were overtaken by Basel and were eliminated.

Real Madrid and Basel qualified from Group B with first and second place respectively!
There are no popular teams in Group C. In the end, Monaco and Schalke 04 repelled Zenit St. Petersburg and Benfica to qualify from the group.

Porto and Arsenal qualify from Group D.The only thing that is a little surprising here is that Porto is the first in the group, while Arsenal is only the second in the group.

There is no suspense in Group E, Bayern Munich and Manchester City two strong teams qualify.

The same is true for Group F, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain qualifying.

Group G is Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund.

Group H is Hamburg and Shakhtar Donetsk!
Although they stumbled in the Bundesliga and have been wandering up and down in the European theater, they were in good form in the Champions League. They finally achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and qualified as the first in the group.

Of course, this has something to do with the weaker opponents in their group.

After all, whether it is Shakhtar Donetsk, Athletic Bilbao, or BATE Borisov, they are not really strong teams.

And when the Champions League group stage is over, everyone will turn their attention to Nyon, Switzerland on December 12.

At the UEFA headquarters there, UEFA Secretary-General Infantino will draw this season's Champions League round of [-] matches!
