After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

This matchup at Anfield ended with Chelsea's 3-0 victory.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Hazard took a corner kick and captain John Terry hit a header in the penalty area, giving Chelsea another victory and locking the score at 3:0.

As a result, Chelsea also officially tied Arsenal's unbeaten record of 49 games, only one game away from breaking this record!

For this victory, the guests of Sky Sports were full of praise for Pan Yi, including the famous Red Army legend Jamie Carragher.

Everyone said that today was an eye-opener, to see that a team without full-backs can play such pleasing football.

Of course, the famous Chelsea star Zola, who realized the "speed of light slap in the face", felt that his face was radiant, and he felt that he had become a little more stalwart.

Carragher put forward another point of view:
"Facts have proved that Pan Yi has integrated Chelsea into a strong whole. No matter what formation he resorts to, he can always have a matching tactic that can bring out the player's ability."

"It's a really scary thing. He can leave all the full-backs out of the squad today, he can have no forwards tomorrow, and he may have no midfielders the day after tomorrow?"

"It might be an exaggeration to say that, but with Chelsea's first team approaching 30 men, it doesn't feel like any injuries or suspensions are going to stop this team."

"We know that sometimes a team looks strong, but often after the core players are injured or suspended, the team suffers a low tide immediately."

"Some teams are even more unlucky, such as losing players in the same position in a row, resulting in no one available, and finally collapsed."

"But in Pan Yi's Chelsea team, it never seems like that will be seen."

"First of all, their physical training, recovery training, and medical system are very developed. Players themselves can rarely get injured while maintaining high-intensity training and competition;"

"Secondly, all Chelsea players are all-rounders who can play multiple positions. Even if there are multiple injuries in the same position, there are still someone who can supplement them;"

"In the end, it's Pan Yi's tactical adaptability and diversity. Suppose Chelsea is Marcos Alonso, Azpilicueta, Cancelo, Ivanovic and others are all injured today. , and Pan Yi can also line up this seemingly weird lineup of full-backs and easily beat a strong team like Liverpool."

"This also means that it is really difficult for anything to stop Pan Yi's progress. I also think that the slogan of seven championships that Pan Yi released before the season is definitely not bragging, but a very practical one." Target reveals..."

"I say for Liverpool and Klopp, we lost convincingly."

As for Klopp's formation in this game, the guests thought it was not a big problem.

他们也能看出来，今天利物浦排出的4-3-2-1就是克洛普专门用来对付潘毅的3-5-2的，但怎么能想到，却对上了一个历史上都没有见过的怪阵？

Whoever it is will be confused!
Therefore, it is not Klopp's fault to lose such a high-end round, it is really Pan Yi who is too cunning!

What's more, this is only Klopp's third Premier League game in charge of Liverpool. On the premise that the personnel are left by the predecessor and cannot be reinforced, to be honest, the scene is not bad.

Everyone also believes that in time, Klopp will definitely be able to bring this Liverpool team to a new height.

Obviously, Pan Yi thought so too.

Nonsense, as a traveler, who doesn't know that Klopp did lead Liverpool to regain the Champions League and Premier League titles?

Even if they fail to win the championship season, Liverpool can still be competitive in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Among other things, when FM players saw Klopp's Liverpool in the game, their legs would shake three times!
After the game, Klopp also invited Pan Yi to drink two cups, and Pan Yi naturally agreed, anyway, he will return to London tomorrow anyway.

Then Klopp took Pan Yi to an old-fashioned cocktail bar on Duke Street in the city center, which looks like the second floor of an 18th-century merchant's residence.

The bar still has character, with ornate marble fireplaces and 18th-century wooden floors, all with soft lighting and comfortable furniture.

"Although I have only been here for a few weeks, Rodgers is a good man. He not only rented a flat for me cheaply, but also introduced me to many good places." Klopp laughed.

The former head coach of Liverpool, Rodgers, is a famous house uncle. Everyone knows that he is so enthusiastic about the "incumbent", which is a good talk.

This place is really good.

Pan Yi and Klopp are in a small private room. The surrounding is very quiet and no one disturbs them. It is very suitable for friends to have a drink and chat.

The two chatted nonsense, such as complaining about British food, the weather in London, etc. Klopp suddenly asked:
"I have a question I'm curious about."

"What's the problem?" Pan Yi took a sip of the cocktail, which was still delicious.

"Are you going to stay at Chelsea forever?"

"Oh?" Pan Yi stopped drinking and put down his glass, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm telling the truth, don't laugh at me." Klopp adjusted his glasses. "Liverpool has never won the Premier League title, and it has been 25 years since the last time they won the top league title. I came here , the primary goal is to lead the team to this championship."

"Oh...then what does this have to do with me?" Pan Yi said with a smile, "If you want to get it, go get it!"

"With your current dominance in the Premier League, I'm afraid..." Klopp said a little embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that even if I stay in Liverpool until I retire, I don't have much chance."

"Haha..." Pan Yi laughed out loud.

This scumbag is really scared of being beaten by him.

"Although I don't want to admit it, you really crushed almost everyone tactically, including me." Klopp shook his head, "Your 3-2-4-1 today really surprised me, It turns out that the formation can still be arranged like this? The use of players is even more amazing. I may be able to learn your tactics through research, but it is absolutely impossible for me to come up with a set out of thin air."

"Tactical crushing is not necessarily a sure win." Pan Yi smiled, "After all, the ball is played by the players on the court."

"But all the players under your command will perform well, isn't it more amazing?" Klopp shook his head, "I really don't understand whether you can recruit these good players or These guys are going to be better when you have them on your team..."

"Maybe it's my luck." Pan Yi said lightly.

"Don't be kidding." Klopp smiled bitterly, "It may be good luck for a season, but how long have you been unbeaten, are you still lucky?"

Pan Yi thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Well, I'm really strong."

"..." Klopp was speechless for a while, then asked again, "What about the question just now?"

Pan Yi said seriously: "I won't think about anything else until I win the Seven Crowns."

"Do you really want to win seven crowns?" Klopp was a little surprised, but calmed down quickly.

That's right, what's the point of not setting such a goal for a talented genius like Pan Yi?
They have won the Triple Crown two or three times!

According to the current momentum...

Chelsea has already won the European Super Cup and the Community Shield, and they are also making great strides in the Premier League, League Cup, and Champions League. In addition to the FA Cup that has not yet started, and the Club World Cup to be held in December, it seems that no one can stop it him.

"Forget it, I will bear it again." Klopp whispered.

"What did you say?" Pan Yi didn't hear clearly.

Klopp took advantage of the opportunity to chat about another topic: "Oh, I just want to ask, do you have any players you don't want? Give me two sets."

"what type is it?"

"Winger, fast, good dribbler."

"It really doesn't."

Of course there are those that meet Klopp's requirements in the Chelsea team.

Like Gnabry, Mbappe, including Hazard, and seat B, aren't they all like this?

Even Lukaku is a character who can make soup on the sidelines.

But the problem is that these are all Pan Yi's favorite generals, how could they be handed over to competitors?

"Hey." Klopp sighed.

In fact, he didn't need to say it, Pan Yi also understood.

The 4-3-3 Mad Dog style of play that Klopp later implemented in Liverpool requires two strong wingers to support, and it can even be said to be the essence of this tactic.

In the current Liverpool formation, neither Coutinho nor Lallana can meet this demand.

Pan Yi also knows that the upgrade of wingers is only part of Klopp's plan, or the beginning.

When the Liverpool lineup is really formed and can make a difference in the Premier League and the Champions League, today's lineup may only leave a few people such as Firmino and Henderson.

"If you look at it this way, I'm going to Southampton to ask Mane's price, or go to Hamburg to see Salah." Klopp touched his stubble.

"Have you taken a fancy to them?" Pan Yi involuntarily touched his chin.

These two were Klopp's generals in the previous life, and they were the absolute heroes of the revival. It seems that it will be difficult to escape Klopp's "clutch" in this life.

But this is actually very easy to understand. There are only so many wingers in the world who can be called world-class, plus those that meet Klopp's relatively strict tactical needs, minus a few very expensive ( Such as Bell, Neymar, etc.), in fact, there are not many.

And in this life, Mane and Salah have the shining buff of "Pan Yi's old general", so it's really impossible to be unobtrusive.

It’s just that Mane just moved to Southampton this season, and Salah actually talked with Liverpool but they didn’t agree, so Klopp wanted to see if Pan Yi’s Chelsea had a cheaper deal at the beginning. The teenager can give it to him.

Klopp nodded: "They are all very fast, they all have skills, and they all have strong shooting ability, which meets my needs for inside forwards. Hehe, when you were in Milan, didn't you also like these characteristics of them? , brought them to Serie A?"

Pan Yi also nodded and said yes, there is nothing to deny.

Anyway, Klopp would not know that when Pan Yi went to Milan, he used Uncle Scum's Liverpool 4-3-3 tactics, so of course it is most suitable to use these two generals.

"You have made a lot of money for Milan." Klopp looked a little drunk, "Actually, I think you don't need to be a head coach, just be an intermediary or something, and you can make a lot of money, haha."

"intermediary?"

"Don't you know? Oh yes, you find players yourself," Klopp explained. "Like those scouts or agents in Brazil who operate third-party ownership, they don't have to do anything, they are in Brazil. Searching for some high-quality and cheap players may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, some even tens of thousands of dollars, and recommending them to European clubs will cost them several times, or even dozens of times.”

Pan Yi nodded: "Oh, this is a payment for information. Just like you asked me for a player today, if I recommend someone to you, you will actually pay me for the information."

"Yes."

Pan Yi understood.

In other words, Klopp reminded him.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Pan Yi is really going to be an intermediary or something, but that his own York City actually needs to establish such a scouting network.

In this way, in addition to Xiao Yao, whom he knew in his previous life, he might be able to dig out more unknown players like Baker.

Players who can use it for themselves can use it for themselves, and those who can't use it can be processed and then sold as a black shop.

In this way, not only the grades will improve, but also the economy will be guaranteed, which can minimize the occurrence of being poached.

After all, he is leading Chelsea now, so there is no need to worry too much about being poached;

However, in a team like York City that does not have much international reputation, players cannot match their salary after being kicked out, and it is almost inevitable that they will be poached by big clubs.

Therefore, the team needs to establish a mature evaluation system for player value, so as to find more excellent players, avoid low-priced or high-bought situations, and have more bargaining chips in transfer negotiations and intelligence.

When the team has more money, the waist can be hardened.

After saying goodbye to Klopp, Pan Yi immediately took some time to think about it and sort out his thoughts.

Obviously, Benfica, which sold the B seat and Cancelo to Chelsea in a package, is the representative club of the black shop, and it should be the object of Pan Yi's study.

In Pan Yi's previous life, although they sold the team's main players at high prices every year, their results in the league and European competitions were not bad, and they often staged unpopular battles to kill strong teams.

It has to be said that Benfica is undoubtedly the most successful youth training factory in Europe in the past ten years, no matter in terms of talent training rate, profit conversion rate or any other aspect.

And their training of young players is not just a single youth training camp that trains players through youth training.

It also has a function, which is to rely on the powerful scouting system in its system to dig out potential stars from other youth training camps for retraining, and finally train other youth training camps with the method of "buy low and sell high". The players who come out are sold to the five major league giants.

For example, among the stars who left Benfica at high prices in those years, Felix and Dias were the products of Benfica's own youth training, while Nunez and Enzo were potential young players that Benfica poached from other youth training camps for retraining.

Benfica is very clear that if they want to achieve large profits by selling potential new stars, it is not enough to rely on their own youth training.

Therefore, in addition to training its own players, the Benfica youth training camp has another task, which is to find those young players with extremely high potential from other youth training camps to come in for further training.

This task needs to be realized by relying on the scouting network, which also puts high demands on the scouting network.

And it turns out that Benfica has the best scouting network in Europe.

Earlier, in 2011, Benfica sold David Luiz to Chelsea for 2500 million, while Benfica only spent 50 when introducing him from the small Brazilian team Victoria.

In the same year, Benfica also introduced Matic from the Chelsea youth academy at a price of 500 million, and sent it back at a price of 2500 million after three years of training.

The two bid kings sold by Benfica later proved the boldness of Benfica scouts.

Liverpool's Nunez was taken away by Benfica at a high price of 21 million when he was 3400 years old, and he was sold for 8000 million after only two years of training.

Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea's winter window standard king, Benfica, who only came in the summer window of 2022, is also 21 years old, and the transfer fee is as high as 4425 million. For him, Benfica even trained him for half a season before selling it at a high price of 1.21 million.

So much so that during the winter window, many reporters exclaimed-"I have never seen such a profitable youth academy like Benfica."

Benfica only trained Enzo for six months, and they made a net profit of nearly 6000 million from him!
Benfica is very willing to play such an intermediary role. They have deployed a large number of scouts in South America, who are responsible for scouting players from the youth training base in South America, and let themselves act as a transit point for South American stars to enter the five major leagues.

In addition to the above-mentioned Nunes, Luiz, Matic and Enzo, players who have entered the five major leagues through Benfica intermediary channels include Di Maria, Ederson, Raul Jimenez, Jovic and others ... Benfica made a huge commission on them.

Benfica is willing to provide these potential young players with a platform to receive training, and is willing to give these players a stepping stone to the top five leagues. Naturally, they are liked by players with ambitious goals.

In addition, after Benfica formulated this development plan, they dared to take the road to the extreme.

One of the disadvantages of doing an intermediary business is that it is easy to "throw the goods into your hands", because doing an intermediary business means that the players that the club wants to buy must be very young and novices, and there is a high possibility that they will not be able to exchange talents for various reasons. .

Therefore, the "purchase price" of general intermediary clubs is often controlled below 2000 million.

But Benfica dared to believe the eyes of scouts and spent huge sums of money to "scratch the lottery ticket".

Or Enzo's example. When buying Enzo in July 2022, Benfica spent a huge sum of 7 million, and in the end he really left half a year later at a price of over 4500 million.

Of course, Benfica's own youth training system is also doing very well.

In their system, the training of players is also directional, such as emphasizing oppressive tactics, requiring players at all levels to use oppressive tactics as the dominant game.

Starting from the U8 team, the coach of Benfica will ask the players to try their best to improve their ball handling ability and off-ball running ability in defensive state during training.

Coaches expect players to start adapting to pressing tactics and attacking style of play when they first join the youth academy.Sometimes, the coach will directly ask the small players to reduce their defense, and the whole team will devote themselves to the offense.

And perhaps because of the emphasis on oppression and offensive tactics, the forwards trained by Benfica can always score a lot of goals, and therefore they have cultivated many versatile wingers and midfielders like Bernardo Silva.

The training of young players is also gradual.

When young players have just joined the football school for 5-10 years, they all learn football with the company of their families. The training system is a bit like an interest class.

When these players reach the age of 14, the local branches of the Benfica football school will conduct a player selection.

Those who passed the selection at the age of 14 will be sent to the headquarters of the Benfica Football School in Lisbon by local branches for further study. During this period, the training content will also change from enlightenment training to very in-depth tactical training. These players will They will live together in a dormitory that can accommodate 100 people in the youth training camp to live a collective life and accompany them day and night. There are also special trainers to track and monitor their physical conditions.

When the players reach the age of 18, they will continue to be selected. Some of the players who are unable to embark on a professional path will be eliminated, and the rest will move out of the dormitory, rent a place outside, start to live an independent life, and plan for themselves time to deal with personal affairs.

At this time, the team will gradually begin to exert external pressure on them, encouraging them to face public opinion and difficulties from the media.

And when the youth training team reaches the age of 23, they have to say goodbye to the youth training team.A very small number of players have already played the main role or rotation in the five major league teams at this time. Most of the players will play the main force or rotation in other European leagues or second- and third-level leagues. They have basically successfully become professional players.

In addition, there are some players who are 23 years old and no suitable professional team is willing to sign them. They can only stay in Benfica to play in the reserve league. These players will most likely not be able to play professional football, and they will return to their home team for youth training. Coach, or stay with the team to do scouts, analysts and other related work.

Of course, don't worry that most kids who don't have a career path won't.

While they are learning football skills, they will also receive cultural education from the partner school, so those children who are eliminated can also do other jobs like ordinary children.

It can be said that proper self-positioning, training programs that are not limited to nationalities, and courageous adherence to the line are the magic weapons for the success of Benfica's youth training. In fact, this is also the law that all football schools in the world that want to run youth training must follow. .

Now, Pan Yi decided to follow this rule and transplant the successful experience of Benfica to York City.

Of course, this starts with updating the youth training base, and proceeds step by step.

Later, they will gradually invest funds to open youth training schools, and formulate development goals centered on cultivating young players, and then establish a scouting network starting from the UK, and then gradually radiate to the whole of Europe, South America, and the world...

Rome wasn't built in a day, but if you don't build it, you never will.

Although York City is still only a League Two team, the work of youth training can start now.

After some big directions and details were drawn up, Pan Yi called the chairman of York City, Jason McGill...
