After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

In the FA Cup match against Bournemouth, Pan Yi still made a major adjustment in the starting lineup.

Forwards: Gnabry, Bamford, Lingard.

Midfield: Cancelo, Chike, Ramirez, Ivanovic.

Defenders: Ake, Christensen, Zouma.

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

On the one hand, this is due to Pan Yi's original positioning of the FA Cup this season: strive to win, and at the same time train new players;

On the other hand, it is because after this game, Chelsea will usher in a battle against Manchester City in Tianwangshan in the Premier League!

Although Chelsea's current advantage in the standings is obvious, this kind of direct confrontation between the first and the second is still very important. Pan Yi doesn't want to have any surprises!
So some important players, if you can let them rest, let them rest more.

"Pan Yi's Chelsea formation today is quite satisfactory. It is their most commonly used 3-4-3 formation this season, not some strange 514 stabs, or 163 four-wing backs, 3331 wingbacks or something..."

"It can be said that Pan Yi's tactical arsenal really has quite a lot of ammunition. He can arrange different tactics according to different opponents and different player lineups."

"Only today, he may think that against an opponent like Bournemouth, the problem can be solved with conventional weapons, so we saw the familiar 3-4-3."

"Of course, today's game is also something to watch. In the previous few games, Lingard appeared in the front midfielder position, or more often cruising to the front midfielder position during the game;"

"And judging from the opening position today, he should be fixed at the right winger position. Can he adapt to this position in this formation? This may be a new test for him."

"And we can also see that Bournemouth still adopts the 4-4-2 formation that they are best at. Eddie Howe formed a barrier composed of Rich, Suman, Art and Pugh in the midfield. And up front it's Wilson and Comorgat, one high, one fast."

"In today's duel, Pan Yi is certainly a world-class coach, and Eddie Howe's experience of leading Bournemouth to successive upgrades is also legendary, and his tactical attainments are also quite good."

"Now, let us see what kind of tricks they will have after the opening!"

Pan Yi did not choose to attack in the opening game.

Whether it's the two wingers Gnabry and Lingard, or the wingbacks Cancelo and Ivanovic, they didn't come up and pressed forward.

On the contrary, Bournemouth played more aggressively.

They took the initiative to attack amidst the cheers and cheers of the home fans, a bit aggressive.

The two full-backs, Ricky and Pugh, both aggressively moved forward, cooperating with the two strikers who kept harassing Chelsea's wing, which also played a certain role in curbing Chelsea's wing attack.

In less than 3 minutes of the opening, Bournemouth created two corner kick opportunities, but the corner kicks they took were cleared by Christensen and Zouma respectively, which did not pose a substantial threat.

However, judging from Bournemouth's opening onslaught, Pan Yi's defensive strategy at the beginning was correct.

Eddie Howe really has two brushes.

He should be sure that almost all teams will shrink back when they see Chelsea, so Chelsea should be more vigilant when dealing with a Championship team;
So Bournemouth did the opposite and attacked Chelsea twice in the opening game, which might have a miraculous effect.

But obviously, Pan Yi has more brushes.

He predicted Eddie Howe's prediction!
This also made Bournemouth's early offense come back in vain.

After Bournemouth's two corner kicks, Chelsea took advantage of their personal ability and launched an attack from the right.

In the back and forth in the midfield, Chelsea saw the opportunity. Christensen sent a long oblique pass and gave the ball directly to the empty space left behind by the opponent's full-back after the assist.

Lingard moved forward quickly, but his dribble was unsuccessful, and the ball was blocked out of bounds by the returning central defender Cook.

Chelsea get a throw-in to the right of the box.

Without waiting for Bournemouth's defenders to react, Lingard quickly took the throw-in and threw the ball to Chike who ran over to meet him.

Chick didn't stop the ball and passed it back directly to Ramirez.

Ramirez was pressed by the opposing striker Wilson, and then passed the ball to Cancelo on the side.

Cancelo then passed to Bamford, who dropped back in the middle, who touched the ball with one foot and passed the ball to Lingard.

The cooperation here is mostly one-touch, which reflects Chelsea's simple and fast way of playing.

It's just that Bournemouth under Eddie Howe is also well-trained, and their defense is also very well organized.

In the short period of time when Chelsea was passing back and forth, the right side of Bournemouth's entire penalty area was already full of defensive players, whether it was a central defender or a full-back.

Lingard took the ball and was double-teamed by the opponent's central defender Cook and full-back Daniels. He stopped trying to rush into the penalty area and immediately passed the ball to Gnabry who was outflanking from the other side.

Immediately after Gnabry stopped the ball, he turned around and cut to the baseline, attracting all three Bournemouth defenders to double-team.

But Gnabry was bold enough to protect the ball, and then sent a diagonal pass, passing the ball to Bamford in the penalty area from the gap between several defensive players.

At this time, Lingard, who was still outside the penalty area just now, had already rushed into the penalty area from behind the defensive players on the other side of Bournemouth.

Lingard's movement off the ball has always been very good.

Not to mention how keen his sense of smell is, at least he will fight for every opportunity, and he is willing to run.

At this time, Bournemouth's central defender Cook blocked Bamford and the goal, and the midfielder Art also returned to the penalty area in time. When Bamford received the ball, he ran to his right. , Trying to cut off his connection with peripheral teammates.

Unexpectedly, when Bamford faced Gnabry's pass, he directly sent the ball with his left foot and sent the ball to the outside of the right corner of the small penalty area.

At this time, the audience saw that Lingard, who rushed into the penalty area, caught up with Bamford's wonderful pass, faced goalkeeper Boruc, and volleyed directly with his right foot from a close corner!

Boruc fell to the ground to save, but it was too late, and the ball quickly went into the goal.

0: 1!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Less than 10 minutes into the game, Chelsea scored the first goal!"

"It was really a wonderful teamwork!"

"Bournemouth's defense is already quite tightly organized, but Chelsea just relied on the personal ability and technical skills of the players, as well as their skillful passing and receiving, to penetrate Bournemouth in a narrow area on the right. s defense."

"From Lingard, to Gnabry, to Bamford, and finally to Lingard... Chelsea's front trident played a very delicate teamwork, which is really exciting!"

"From this we can also see that the two young players, Gnabry and Lingard, have fully integrated into Chelsea's tactical system, and they are playing like ducks in water now."

The live camera repeated the entire process of cooperation and scoring again and again, and Pan Yi, who was on the court, cheered and cheered the players with fists, and loudly encouraged them.
-
After conceding the ball, Bournemouth played even more aggressively.

Amid the applause and encouragement of the home fans, they launched a fierce attack on Chelsea, and the two wingers and full-backs were particularly active.

This is also a more important point in Eddie Howe's tactics, which is to use the two sides to give full support to the frontcourt.

And once the attack in the middle is blocked, the wingers will not hesitate to go all the way to the end to create opportunities for free kicks or corner kicks, and then use well-designed set-piece tactics to seek goals.

From Chelsea's goal to the 20th minute, in just 10 minutes, Bournemouth did create four corner kicks, which also shows how aggressive their offense is.

But the problem is that Pan Yi has carefully studied Eddie Howe's corner kick tactics before the game, whether it is a normal direct serve that rotates into the goal, or the offensive tactics of "long pass + outflanking in the middle" and "close point cover". + Mid-lane outflanking" tactics, "short pass coordination + mid-lane outflanking" tactics, Chelsea can handle them with ease.

Even at the last time, Bournemouth used a corner kick to the penalty area arc, and then midfielder Souter volleyed directly.

But the Chelsea players were very focused, and this time the corner kick attack was also resolved by Ake's timely step forward to block.

After consecutive unsuccessful attacks, the Bournemouth players lacked confidence.

After all, the opponent is Chelsea!
When you are facing such a strong enemy and can't succeed with all your strength, the players will inevitably doubt whether their own abilities are really unable to break through the opponent's goal.

Moreover, their continuous strong attack also led to the emptiness of the defense.

In the 25th minute, in an attack by Bournemouth, Martinez quickly sent a goal kick after striker Komogat's long-range shot went directly high.

After receiving a pass from Christensen, Cancelo tried to dribble the ball along the left rib, but was tripped by the opposing midfielder Ricky just after passing the center line, and the referee did not blow his whistle.

After Cancelo struggled to get up, he caught up again, grabbed the ball before the opponent's full-back Francis, and passed it to Gnabry in front.

Gnabry was accelerating forward, and caught up with Cancelo's pass in the gap. First, he made a fake move, and after fooling Francis, he suddenly smashed the ball to the right, earning a little before Francis could react. Through the gap, the right foot quickly sent a straight pass.

The ball follows a straight line from Chelsea's left rib to the right side of the Bournemouth penalty area.

At the top of the arc, Bamford first confuses Bournemouth's defense with a smoke bomb in response to a retreat.

Cook's reaction was fast enough, and he immediately stopped and turned around to keep up, trying to entangle Bamford, but he was still a little behind.

But in the penalty area, a little bit is often fatal.

After Bamford caught up with Gnabry's pass in the penalty area, he didn't stop the ball at all, and directly pulled up and shot angrily, hitting a powerful shot to the left of the goal.

Boruc stood on the left and tried to seal the near corner, but he didn't expect Bamford to hit the far corner.

So, he could only watch the ball get into the right side of Bournemouth's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"0:2!"

"25 minutes, another Chelsea goal! Bamford's goal gave Chelsea a two-goal lead in the away game!"

"Is this... is it going to be another massacre tonight? Chelsea didn't do this once or twice."

"Bournemouth, the Championship team, was not conservative at all when facing the Premier League giants. Instead, the spirit of attacking bravely is admirable, but Eddie Howe seems to have to pay a heavy price for this."

"After all, they are Chelsea! They are Chelsea who are almost invincible in the Premier League! How can they be afraid of the attack of a Championship team? Even this Chelsea is just a pure rotation lineup..."

After scoring the goal, Bamford rushed out of the field excitedly, ran all the way, and finally slid and knelt under the stands of his own fans.

This season, he has indeed played better and better after being promoted to the Chelsea first team.

Although in the position of the main center forward, due to Lukaku who is in a better state, he cannot secure the position of the main force for a while;
But as long as he plays, he can play at a very high level and contribute to the team.

This is much better than staying in the youth team, or being loaned to some low-level league teams.

After celebrating the goal with his teammates, when he turned around and walked back, Bamford also ran to the visiting team's coach's bench, high-fiving and hugging the head coach.

He is very grateful to Pan Yi!
It can be said that without Pan Yi's trust in him, he would not have played such a wonderful performance.

It is also because of Pan Yi's existence that he has learned a lot in the team.

Look at Gnabry and Lingard on the left and right. They have only been here for a long time, and they have shown a completely different competitive state from the original team!
-
Bournemouth have performed very well in the Championship this season, precisely because of their excellent offensive system.

From the statistics of the season so far, it can be seen that Bournemouth averaged only 62 long passes per game, and 368 short passes per game, which are relatively few in the entire British Championship.

This is a clear manifestation of Bournemouth's emphasis on possession of the ball and short passing style under Eddie Howe.

So far, Bournemouth has scored 16 goals from set kicks, ranking No.1 in the league.

This also reflects the arrangement and ingenuity of Eddie Howe and his coaching team on set-piece tactics. It can also be seen that set-pieces have become one of Bournemouth's conventional weapons.

Facing a formidable opponent like Chelsea today, Eddie Howe also took the initiative to seek change for the Blue Army, which is well versed in the 3-back system under the leadership of Pan Yi.

After the opening game, Bournemouth turned away and did not blindly retreat in the backcourt. They took the initiative to press in the frontcourt. The entire formation was raised very forward, almost pressing one-on-one.

Judging from the direction of the follow-up game, I can also feel the advantages of Bournemouth in the first few minutes, which obviously changed the psychology of the players on the field. I feel that the tactics arranged by the head coach Eddie Howe are indeed right. way.

And Bournemouth followed Chelsea's transmission from one side of the backcourt to the other, and the fluidity and flexibility of the formation were also reflected.

The equal number of players in the frontcourt and Chelsea's defenders also allows them to shift their center of gravity with the transfer of the ball, thus forming a continuous oppression, so that Chelsea can only pass the ball through the goalkeeper or the defender's big foot, increasing The opposite error rate.

After counter-robbing in the frontcourt, Bournemouth can also calmly penetrate the organization and transmit it to Chelsea's penalty area to form a threat.

The increasing number of corner kicks illustrates this trend.

Such an attack method, even in the current Premier League, can be said to be quite outstanding.

But it is a pity that Eddie Howe's team met Pan Yi's Chelsea.

The tactical system that Pan Yi created for Chelsea and the strong lineup that he built allow the team to maintain a strong competitiveness on multiple fronts.

According to the British media, Chelsea is divided into two teams, both of which have the strength to reach the top four.

It is not difficult to see how strong Chelsea's lineup is now.

In addition, Pan Yi knew Eddie Howe well and was well prepared for his various tactics, which also made Eddie Howe lose one of his greatest advantages: "The enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark."

Why do upsets often appear in knockout matches like the FA Cup and League Cup?
In addition to the factors that the strong team underestimates or does not pay attention to the enemy, the lack of understanding of the opponent is also a very important reason.

Your Premier League team is under the spotlight every day. The characteristics of each player and the tactics of each game are displayed under the eyes of everyone in the world.

But teams in lower leagues will have much less exposure.

Take today's Bournemouth team as an example, how many non-local fans can name the players in it?
Let alone analyze their technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, sometimes an excellent head coach of a low-level league team will take advantage of this and play "stealing", which will cause an upset.

But in front of Pan Yi, this trick is useless again.

He is a man with tricks!
However, Eddie Howe remained calm even though he fell behind by two goals after halftime.

At the beginning of the second half, he quickly adjusted his tactics, changed his formation to 5-4-1, strengthened the interception of the midfield and the backcourt, and stabilized the defense first.

Bournemouth no longer attacked as aggressively as they did in the opening game, but slowed down their tempo, passed possession of the ball to Chelsea, and adopted a more secure tactic.

Of course, it's not that they stopped attacking, or they completely gave up the midfield.

As a less powerful side, Bournemouth did not give up the midfield, but continued to press hard, not to hide and defend.

Eddie Howe's 5-4-1 on-the-spot change was also executed very well by the players. Bournemouth's system was not overwhelmed by Chelsea at all and remained very compact.

After pressing or defending successfully, they will immediately counterattack.

In the 50th minute, Suman pressed close to the frontcourt and caused Chike's pass error. Then he and Wilson simply hit the wall in the backcourt of Chelsea and hit Chelsea by surprise. throw himself out.

In the 67th minute, left-back Daniels made a long pass from the backcourt to find Wilson to form a counterattack. Wilson and Comorgat patiently sought cooperation. Before Chelsea settled down, they found a gap between the wing position and the central defender. Como Gat shot straight into the penalty area, but unfortunately missed.

In the 80th minute, the set-piece weapon that Bournemouth relied on for survival came.

This time it was a corner kick again, but they came up with a more carefully designed tactic. The two central defenders Elphick and Cook rushed forward and swayed. Near the penalty spot, prepare to shoot directly!

Seeing that Daniels threw off the defense, Zuma pulled Daniels to the ground in desperation.

The referee blows the whistle, a penalty kick!

Zuma was also shown a red card!
Pan Yi could only change his formation, letting Cancelola return to the right center back to ensure the number of defenders, while Gnabry and Lingard both returned to the wing backs to assist in defense.

Forward Wilson takes the penalty, but...

Standing in front of Chelsea today is the Argentine goalkeeper who is very good at saving penalties - Martin!

You know, in Pan Yi's previous life, when the 2022 World Cup was won by Argentina, the first hero that everyone can think of may be Messi, but the second hero may be Martin.

Whether it's his performance in the penalty shootout or his single-handed fight in the last minute of the final, this World Cup has become his masterpiece.

He also won the title of World's Best Goalkeeper of the Year by virtue of his outstanding performance in this World Cup-this is also the first time that an Argentine goalkeeper has won this honor.

Now, when Martin faced Wilson, he began to give full play to his psychological tactics.

Hold the ball in the past for a while, chat with Wilson for a while, and make the opponent uneasy.

In the end, the referee intervened, and Martin returned to the goal line "obediently".

In fact, he was not very quiet on the goal line, he danced and danced, and it felt like he was singing and dancing rap.

And his series of actions really affected Wilson.

Wilson's penalty shot was weak, and Martin made a side attack and held him tightly in his arms!
The score has not been rewritten, the score is still 0:2!

Martin, who saved the penalty kick, raised his arms and shouted, and Chelsea teammates rushed to him to congratulate him.

Saving the opponent's penalty kick at this moment undoubtedly gave the teammates a shot in the arm, especially when Zouma was sent off.

After all, if the score is tied at 1:2 at this time, and the opponent has one more person to fight, it is really hard to say how the final outcome will be.

The commentator also said: "Emiliano Martinez finally proved his worth today!"

"Maybe he is not the kind of goalkeeper that Pan Yi wants most, but he has a steely will and a strong heart! This is also very important for a team!"

"Because of Chelsea's strength on the pitch, he rarely has the opportunity to perform as a substitute goalkeeper. But as long as he is given the opportunity, he will seize it!"

"Saving this penalty is very important! He is also telling Pan Yi in this way, telling Chelsea fans that spending 200 million pounds to buy him is also a good deal!"

"Here, I have to praise Pan Yi again. He only bought three young players in the winter window, but now it seems that these three players have their own characteristics and their own uses."

"Pan Yi's eyes are definitely the golden eyes of the Monkey King in oriental mythology!..."

In the last 10 minutes of the game, although Bournemouth played vigorously, they wanted to use their numerical advantage to continue to attack;

But the shadow of being saved from a penalty kick has always surrounded the players, which made them less energetic on the court.

And Chelsea's players are good at exerting strength at the last moment of the game!
Under the ups and downs, the two sides showed a balance of power on the field, which made the scene a little stalemate, and the game was not very good.

In the end, Chelsea kept their two-goal advantage and beat Bournemouth away.

They also successfully entered the next round of the FA Cup!
