Chapter 344 Here we go!

In the sports newspaper published the next day, almost all the headlines belonged to Chelsea, who had firmly won the half-time championship.

Although due to their leading position in the standings, Chelsea has already won the "championship" in advance, but after playing Southampton, it is considered that they have truly completed the meeting with all 19 Premier League teams, and they have really finished half of the game. schedule.

In these 19 rounds, Chelsea achieved a terrifying 18 wins and 1 tie!
Points up to 55 points!
And if that alone is not enough to reflect "horror", let's take a look at the results of the Premier League winter championships in recent years.

2010-2011赛季的冬季冠军是曼联，当时是11胜7平1负积40分；
2011-2012赛季的冬季冠军是曼城，当时是14胜3平2负积45分；
2012-2013赛季的冬季冠军是曼联，当时是15胜1平3负积46分；
2013-2014赛季的冬季冠军是阿森纳，13胜3平3负积42分；
In other words, according to past experience, almost 40 points in the Premier League can win the half-time championship.

But this year's Chelsea has increased this score by an order of magnitude, soaring directly to 55 points!
And looking at Manchester City, which has been slowly catching up so far this season, they are ranked second in the standings with 13 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses.

They accumulated 43 points, and if they were placed in previous years, they might also be the winter champions!
In other words, in fact, the performance of other teams in the Premier League this year is quite normal, but Chelsea is too abnormal!
As for the winter champions listed above, in fact, except last year's Arsenal, other teams have won the final Premier League championship.

Well, it's not once or twice that Arsenal started to collapse after Christmas. They were finally overtaken by Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea behind them last season, and finally only won...

No.4!
And this season, Arsenal's current performance is even worse.

Although in the past 19 rounds, they beat their opponents 2:1 in the match against West Ham, their direct rival for the fourth round, and thus climbed to the fifth position;
But this is still a big gap compared with last season's half-time championship.

Manchester United have played very well recently.

Van Gaal's big circle tactics are used more proficiently, especially after the 16-3 victory over rival Liverpool in the 0th round, he has made great progress all the way, and now he has quietly climbed to the third position in the standings.

The fourth is still Southampton, but they have been overtaken by Arsenal in points after they were defeated by Chelsea, and they only rank ahead of the Gunners with a goal difference advantage.

In other words, Arsenal is currently tied for No.4!

To sum up, after the half-time battle, the rankings of the Premier League standings are as follows:

Chelsea 55 points.

Manchester City 43 points.

Manchester United 36 points.

Southampton 33 points.

Arsenal 33 points.

West Ham United 31 points.

Tottenham 31 points.

Liverpool 28 points.

Swansea 28 points.

Newcastle United 26 points.

Stoke City 25 points.

……

……

In terms of the personal performance of the players, Chelsea players also dominate the list.

On the scorer list, center Lukaku has scored 17 goals, and the high efficiency of almost one goal per game allows him to beat Aguero, Harry Kane and other shooters and rank first.

Hazard, who contributed 11 assists, ranked first in the assist list.

This data is actually even more terrifying, because Di Maria, who is ranked second, has only 7 times.

Even ranked third is Lukaku from Chelsea, who also has 6 assists.

Lukaku is on the double list, which shows how much his overall ability has been improved this season!
Some other weird statistics are also ranked first by Chelsea players.

Passes, Matic 397 times;
Hazard made 21 key passes;
Interceptions, Kanter 20 times;
Blocked, Terry 9 times;
Cahill made 57 clearances;
……

……

Only saves this data, Chelsea's Courtois fell behind ten, only ranked 14th.

In the first place is Swansea's Fabianski.

How do you say this?

Chelsea played under pressure in most games, and Courtois often sat on the small bench in front of the goal and ate melon seeds;
In this case, he is also required to contribute a lot of save data, which is too difficult for him.

Of course, it would be wrong to say that Courtois contributed little.

He is still far ahead in the Premier League in terms of the number of goalkeeper passes and the number of goalkeeper attacks.

He is also interpreting Pan Yi's new requirements for the position of goalkeeper, that is, not only to keep the goal well, but also to be the first starting point of offense! ——
In addition to praising Chelsea's half-time championship, the media also focused a lot of attention on Oscar.

First of all, of course, is his hot state in the last two Premier League games.

Against West Ham it was one pass and one shot, against Southampton it was three shots and one pass.

In two games, he scored four goals and contributed two assists!
This is the performance of the king of the ball.

Then came the reports of his transfer rumors.

Such a player, does Chelsea really want to let him go?

But at this time, more and more media have received news that a mysterious team from Longguo has already negotiated the Oscar, and the Brazilian will also officially leave after the winter window opens on January 1.

Italian journalist Romano, who has gradually become popular in recent years, also sent a message of "Here we go!" on his social media.

The message he gave was more direct, accurate and direct:

"Shanghai SIPG will sign Oscar for 8000 million euros."

This news directly detonated the football world.

Because everyone knows that Romano's news is almost the same as the official announcement.

Everyone was shocked.

This time it wasn't because of Oscar's departure. After all, there had been rumors all along, so everyone was mentally prepared.

The main thing is 8000 million euros, this figure is really scary!
Even if Oscar's recent performance is really strong, is he really worth 8000 million euros?

You know, Liverpool striker Suarez, who killed the Quartet in the Premier League last season, is more than 8000 million.

Are these two of the same class?
No matter how strong Oscar is, he is not the absolute main force in the current Chelsea team.

And where did this Shanghai SIPG team come from, to be able to offer such a high price?
Who is this SIPG, this "programmer"?
Therefore, there is still a lot of controversy in the English media about this deal.

For Chelsea fans, they are of course somewhat reluctant to leave Oscar;
After all, in the past two and a half years, Oscar has been conscientious and diligent on the court. He is a good player that fits the image of the Blues.

If it were any other team, selling players who were loved by fans during the winter break would definitely cause an uproar.

If it doesn't work out, maybe the extreme fan group will protest at the club's gate.

However, due to Chelsea's excellent record and Pan Yi's high prestige in the club, Chelsea fans did not cause much turmoil despite some dissatisfaction and incomprehension.

After all, everyone believes that no matter what decision Pan Yi makes now, he has his own direction and purpose, and this may eventually prove to be correct.

Someone also jokingly said: "Abramovich invited Pan Yi to help him spend money, but unexpectedly, Pan Yi made him more than 1 million yuan in an instant! At least in terms of spending money, Pan Yi doesn't seem to be qualified!"

Indeed, since Pan Yi came to Chelsea, the club has made a profit instead.

Schurrle transferred from Leverkusen to Chelsea at the beginning, the transfer amount was 1800 million pounds, and now he sold it for nearly 4000 million euros, which is almost double;
Oscar's move from Inter Brazil to Chelsea was £2500m, now he's selling for €8000m, that's twice as much...

Some media also expressed concern:

The "Guardian" mentioned that although Pan Yi's personal charm can make the situation relatively calm, and the fans have not acted excessively, there are hidden dangers in this transfer behavior.

Because once Chelsea's offensive ability declines due to the departure of the two wingers, if they can't achieve ideal results at the end of the season, they will all be liquidated!
"Daily Mail" also said: "Chelsea sold two important players in a short period of time, and this Chelsea fan may be able to bear it."

"But they are also concerned. Why hasn't Pan Yi made any moves yet? Why didn't Chelsea make timely supplementary signings?"

"In the second half of the season, Chelsea will have to fight in the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League. Is the current number of first-team players really enough?"

"If there is any injury, can Chelsea maintain the current state and move forward?"

"If Pan Yi can't handle this problem well, fans' doubts will plant a seed in their hearts. And this seed will germinate and grow up when Chelsea loses one day, and then suddenly become a big bomb!"
-
Of course Pan Yi made a move.

It's just that it's not the "big move" that Chelsea fans hoped for, to engage in some big-name stars or something.

He is still his usual routine, playing with little monsters!This can reflect his ability.

He first called Gnabry.

Gnabry, who had been in contact with Scaloni before, was of course mentally prepared for this. In fact, he had been waiting for this call.

On the phone, Gnabry responded very quickly, with a firm tone: "I am willing to follow you, Mr. Pan Yi!"

Without too much persuasion, and without Pan Yi introducing such a grand plan to the players, Gnabry was ready to leave with Pan Yi.

After all, in today's world football, the word "Pan Yi" is an absolute golden signboard.

Leaving aside the tactical ability, the key is that Pan Yi is cultivating the success rate of young players, which is enough to make all young players flock to him.

Who wouldn't want to grow rapidly under Pan Yi's command and become a world-class star?

Moreover, Gnabry is not stupid. Chelsea are now the winter champions of the Premier League.

Isn't this better than staying at Arsenal and only competing for the semi-finals?
What's more, he hasn't played very well at Arsenal...

Besides, there are so many young players in the world, and Pan Yi would choose him. Gnabry is also excited and proud of this.

"Very well, Chelsea will immediately discuss the transfer with Arsenal, and I will also send someone to contact your agent to discuss a personal contract."

"Okay, I believe you, Mr. Pan Yi." Gnabry said.

What is high emotional intelligence, this is high emotional intelligence.

Now that he has decided to go to Chelsea, Gnabry is very straightforward.

The more straightforward and trusting he is, the more he knows that Pan Yi will not treat him badly.

After taking this call, Gnabry looked extra good in the next training session.

The young man looked very energetic, with a smile on his face all the time.

During the noon break, Podolski stared at Gnabry for a long time.

As a German who is also in the Arsenal team, Podolski still takes good care of this little brother.

However, recently Poldowski himself is in a relatively poor situation at Arsenal. He is basically a substitute in the game. He is already seeking a transfer or loan to get more game time.

"What's the matter so happy today?" Podolski asked.

"Hey." Gnabry smiled and said nothing.

"Have you found the money?"

"how is this possible?"

"Are you in love?"

"No." Gnabry blushed.

"What's going on, the club gave you a salary increase and renewed your contract?" Podolski himself shook his head first, "Impossible, with your number of appearances, it's not bad if you haven't been rented out. raise?"

Gnabry looked around and found no one else, so he whispered happily to Podolski, "Pan Yi called me."

"Pan Yi?" Podolski didn't react for a moment, and then his eyes widened suddenly, "Chelsea's coach Pan Yi? You mean..."

"Hush——" Gnabry put his index finger on his mouth, looked around like a thief, and lowered his voice, "Well, he wants me to go to Chelsea."

"Wow, that's really congratulations." Podolski said happily, "To be spotted by Pan Yi means that you have superstar talent! I've seen it for a long time!"

Afterwards, Poldowski's expression darkened again: "Oh, if only I could meet a coach like Pan Yi when I was young."

In fact, when Podolski made his debut, he also appeared in front of fans all over the world under the name of "child prodigy".

As early as the 2003-04 season, the 18-year-old Poldowski suddenly emerged in the Cologne team. With his outstanding efficiency of scoring 30 goals in 24 Bundesliga games, he quickly became the main scorer of the Cologne team.

In the summer of 2006, relying on his outstanding performance in the World Cup in Germany, he immediately switched from Cologne to Bayern Munich. It can be said that the starting point is very high.

But Podolski's performance at Bayern was not good.

He seems to be unable to adapt to the giants for a long time. In addition, the club has introduced many big-name stars such as Klose, Tony, and Ribery. Podolski was firmly pressed on the club's bench.

Subsequently, in the summer of 2009, Podolski, who was guaranteed the main position for the World Cup in South Africa, returned to his old club Cologne again at a price of 1000 million euros.

After a 29-game 18-goal season in Cologne, Podolski was favored by Wenger.

Podolski hoped to continue his career at a giant like Arsenal. At that time, Wenger also needed a striker like Podolski.

So he moved to the current Arsenal in the summer of 2012.

However, under Wenger, Podolski has never become the darling of the Gunners striker. Podolski's Arsenal career has been high and low.

Now he is no longer the main option for Arsenal's offensive end, but a player between the main force and the substitute.

The deepest impression of fans on him is often Podolski who appeared in the World Cup Germany team, but in the club, he hardly left many memorable moments.

Podolski now thinks back, if he could have been guided by a coach like Pan Yi when he was young, he might have achieved much greater achievements than now...

At this time, Gnabry said: "Didn't Chelsea leave Schurrle and Oscar? I think you can also apply and go to Chelsea with me."

Podolski shook his head with a wry smile, and patted Gnabry on the shoulder again: "I am almost 30 years old, and I have no room for growth. Pan Yi will not want it. Everyone knows that his favorite, It's just you, a young man under 20 years old..."
-
In fact, after Pan Yi hung up on Gnabry, he did call another 20-year-old young man not long after.

That's Southampton's Ward-Prowse.

This can be regarded as a temporary idea after playing Southampton.

Only this time, he was politely declined.

As Pan Yi had expected, Ward-Prowse chose to stay with the team.

"Coach Pan Yi, thank you very much for your interest in me. I am also very excited because I have the opportunity to play for Chelsea."

"But I'm a kid from Southampton, I've been here since I was eight years old. My dream is to stay here and play for my favorite hometown team until I can't play anymore and retire here."

"So, I'm really sorry, I'm not leaving Southampton."

Of course Pan Yi understood Ward Prowse's choice.

The story of one person, one city like Maldini and Totti is very moving in itself;
And like Ward-Prowse, who is willing to stay in an inconspicuous small club for the rest of his life, it is even more commendable.

So Pan Yi didn't say anything, just wished him good luck, and then hung up the phone.

Then the next step is to fully promote the transfer of Gnabry.

When Wenger knew that Pan Yi was interested in Gnabry, he was actually a little surprised.

After all, Gnabry was officially promoted to the Arsenal first team last season, and he didn't have many opportunities to play, and only scored one goal in total.

Including this season, he also basically sits on the bench, and sometimes returns to the second team to play games.

How did Pan Yi like such a young player?
At that moment, the professor felt that he had misjudged him. Could it be that this German kid was a real piece of jade in the rough because he had given him too few opportunities?
After all, Pan Yi really didn't miss the time, as long as he liked the players, he would definitely be able to kick them out.

But the problem is that in the current Arsenal, Gnabry really has no chance to play.

There are Cazorla and Rosicky in the midfielder position, including Prince Wilshere and Chamberlain;
There are high-priced imported thighs Sanchez and Walcott at the winger position, and Welbeck can also play. Gnabry's appearance is really low.

With only 18 people on the Premier League's registration list for each game, Gnabry can't get on the bench in many cases and can only go to the second team to play to maintain his form.

After chatting with Gnabry, Wenger also understood that the hearts of the Germans are no longer here.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that when Pan Yi sent an invitation to Gnabry, Arsenal would not be able to keep him.

No matter who it is, it seems that it is not difficult to make the same choice in the face of such disparity between the two sides.

After all, Gnabry was not cultivated by Arsenal himself, and his feelings for this place are not so deep.

So, after careful consideration, Wenger decided to let it go.

This is actually for the good of Gnabry!
After several offer negotiations, Wenger accepted Chelsea's £500 million offer for Gnabry.

This is actually a big profit for Arsenal.

Because in 2011, when Gnabry transferred from Stuttgart to the Arsenal youth academy, they only spent their transfer fee of 10 pounds!
In this way, Pan Yi got the young player he wanted, Gnabry moved to the club he wanted to go to, and Arsenal made money...

It can be regarded as a triple win, and everyone has a bright future.

However, during the negotiation process, Wenger still made an additional request to Pan Yi.

That is, he still likes the Brazilian star Willian in Chelsea's team, so he tried to buy, or make this deal by renting and buying first.

But Pan Yi refused.

After Schurrle and Oscar left, Pan Yi still needs immediate combat power as a winger.

And William is at the peak of his career at this time, and his help to Chelsea is still great.

After all, Gnabry has just joined the team, and it still takes time to adapt and grow. For the time being, it should still be difficult to achieve William's role in the short term.

Of course, the main reason is that William also hopes to stay at Chelsea, otherwise, if he wants to leave, Pan Yi will also agree to let him leave...

Therefore, the professor made the second best thing and asked to rent and then buy Chelsea's substitute goalkeeper Petr Cech!
This is also due to the fact that Szczesny, the main goalkeeper of the Arsenal team, won the Premier League Golden Glove Award with 16 clean sheets last season, but his state is very unstable this season.

The second goalkeeper Ospina is also often injured and cannot perform stably at all.

So Wenger wanted to use Cech to replace Szczesny as his main goalkeeper.

For this request, Pan Yi thought for a while and agreed.

After all, in the original timeline, Cech would have transferred to Arsenal in the next summer window.

With his current competitive state, staying at Chelsea as Courtois' substitute is indeed a bit of a talent.

Now Wenger took the opportunity of selling Gnabry to ask Pan Yi to rent Cech in advance, and Pan Yi just came to make a move and give a favor.

This is also a win-win deal!He can still have a good relationship with Wenger, and maybe there will be more deals in the future.

However, Pan Yi in turn made a request to Wenger.

That means Chelsea's second goal is rented out by you, and Chelsea's goalkeeper coach and veteran Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer is also working on the third goal. If Courtois gets injured by then, it will be difficult!

So Arsenal must also send a substitute goalkeeper.

And the person Pan Yi fancy is Arsenal's current third goalkeeper.

That is the Aston Martin of the future.

Martin of Aston Villa.

His name is: Emiliano Martinez.

Is the future of Argentina's number one goalkeeper!The hero who helped Argentina win the 2022 World Cup, Martin!

However, Martin also couldn't play at Arsenal at all.

In front of him, there are two national gates of Szczesny and Ospina. Where can it be his turn?

So he is also often loaned out. Throughout his Arsenal career, he has been loaned out 6 times, Oxford United in the second division, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham, Wolves, Reading in the British Championship, Getafe in La Liga, All have left Martinez's footprint.

During those days, the only impression Arsenal fans had of Martinez was perhaps the 7:5 match between the League Cup and Reading.

Of course, he, whose goal was pierced 5 times, is more like the background board of this epic reversal...

Regarding Pan Yi's request that Wenger asked Pan Yi to rent Cech because Pan Yi asked to buy Gnabry, Wenger of course readily agreed.

When Petr Cech comes, the Arsenal team will have Cech, Szczesny and Ospina at the same time, let alone Martinez.

So, everyone happily reached a consensus.

Then, next, Pan Yi's goal is to try his best to win the player who first came to his mind and is really going to replace Oscar.

That is--

Manchester Dancer;

Those who have mentored the young Ronaldo;
The man who the fans proposed to play the whole field with Messi on his back;

He doesn't score goals, the dazzling star who dare not end the Premier League;
When I was young, I didn't know that there was Lin Huang, and I mistakenly regarded Melo as the king of the ball. First, there was Lin Huang, and then there was Tian, ​​who stepped on Melo and chased him first——

Jesse Lingard!
