After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

The first round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League will not be played until February 2.

Chelsea still have a lot of games to play before then.

On December 12, Pan Yi once again led the team to an away game to challenge Stoke City.

This season's Stoke City, under the leadership of the head coach Mark Hughes, who advocates technical flow, has gradually got rid of the traditional style of relying entirely on holding high and playing high, but using more technical players.

Just like the former Barcelona prodigy Bojan.

Bojan, who is only 173cm tall and is good at dribbling and passing, but has no advantage in competing for high-altitude balls, would not be able to play in Stoke City, where the average height of the player was 190+ in the previous two years.

But now, he is already the core of the midfield, helping the team sort out the offense and play smooth cooperation.

After the transformation, Stoke City's performance is also more stable, and it has always been ranked in the middle of the standings around 10.

However, for Chelsea, such Stoke City is not so terrible.

Last season, on the same field, Chelsea was "smashed" by Stoke City to draw a draw.

But after switching to technical flow, Chelsea formed a kind of technical suppression on them.

After all, teams of the same type often rely on hard power.

If you play similarly, the result is that the players in each position are not as capable as the opponent, and it is easy to fall into the passive position in the game.

In Pan Yi's previous life, why did Arsenal have a 12-game losing streak against Manchester City?
It wouldn't be like this to take out a weaker Premier League team, but Arsenal, as a giant, has nothing to do with Manchester City.

This is because the two teams play pass control, both play skills, and their tactics are similar, but Manchester City is more skilled...

Arteta also learned from Guardiola, and he didn't even know how to place the bus to fight against counterattacks, so no matter how hard he tossed, he couldn't escape Gua Shuai's palm.

At the national team level, a typical example is the Japanese team.

As a Japanese team that has become a second-rate team in the world, they can not fall behind when facing some European teams, such as Denmark, Sweden, and even Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany;
But if they are allowed to play their master Brazil team, they will often surrender quickly.

This is a kind of suppression.

But now, Stoke City has changed from a flying chicken to a wild chicken, so it is naturally easy for Chelsea to control the direction of the game.

Just because Chelsea likes to play this kind of team the most.

In the 35th minute of the game, Lukaku broke into the penalty area and was tripped by Shawcross. Harry Kane made a penalty kick and Chelsea took the lead away.

In the 45th minute, Matic's long-range shot helped Chelsea expand the score, and the game basically lost suspense.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Marcos Alonso, who came off the bench, found a chance to make an iconic volley from the left side of the penalty area, locking the score at 0:3.

In the end, Chelsea won away.

On January 1, the winter transfer window of this season officially opened.

Unlike in previous years, the teams have already settled many deals before the window opened. This day is actually an official announcement. This season seems to be much quieter.

None of the major giants made any big moves.

Liverpool spent 700 million to buy Grukic from Belgrade Red Star, but changed hands and rented it back to the parent team, which means they didn't buy anyone;

Arsenal spent 660 million to buy Egyptian midfielder Elneny from Basel;

These two sums are already the most spent by any strong Premier League team.

Manchester United only recalled the Belgian teenager Januzaj, who was on loan to Dortmund, while Manchester City and Tottenham stayed put.

The most expensive transfer in the entire Premier League is actually Stoke City.

They bought French midfielder Imbra from Porto in a deal that cost them 2400 million euros.

Obviously, Stoke City's performance in the top half of the standings in the first half gave them greater ambitions, so they spent a lot of money to strengthen them.

For Pan Yi, Chelsea really has nothing to add now.

The personnel reserve of the first team is sufficient, the players are all alive and kicking, and the morale is also high, so there is no need to make any adjustments.

If it is necessary to buy someone in the winter window at that time, it will depend on the situation, for example, which player has been poached at a high price...

At present, Pan Yi only needs to pay attention to the current game, and does not need to put too much thought on the transfer market.

On this day, the most eye-catching piece of news is related to the coach.

Manchester City officially announced that they will change coaches in the summer of 2016!

This season, that is, after the end of the 2015-2016 season, Guardiola, whose contract with Bayern Munich has expired, will replace Pellegrini as the new head coach of Blue Moon.

As a result, the rumors of Manchester City's coaching change that have been circulating since this season finally fell to dust.

This news at least confirms that Manchester City will not change coaches this season. Regardless of the final result, Pellegrini will lead the team to play all the remaining games.

As for Guardiola, he finally "satisfied" the wishes of many fans, and he will soon come to the Premier League to prove himself! ——
On the evening of January 1, in the 3th round of the Premier League, Chelsea ushered in consecutive away games and went to Schehurst Park to challenge Crystal Palace.

The game itself was unremarkable, but it was still crucial for Chelsea.

As long as they remain unbeaten in the away game, Chelsea can tie the unbeaten record of the five major leagues maintained by AC Milan for 22 years, which is 58 games!
This miracle that was considered impossible to be broken before, Chelsea is finally close!
Of course, their opponent Crystal Palace today is actually not that easy to deal with.

Since Alan Pardew took over, Crystal Palace's performance has been rising steadily.

Alan Pardew left Newcastle in the middle of the league last season to join Crystal Palace, which is in the relegation zone, as head coach.

After confirming that high center Glenn Murray was promoted to the team's main force, Pardew's tactical system once again worked.

He made full use of set-piece tactics. In addition to making Crystal Palace the team with the most set-piece goals in the Premier League, he also allowed the team to quickly break out of the relegation zone. Murray played well, contributing 3 goals and 3 assists.

When the former club Newcastle was in turmoil and only relied on Pardew's "legacy" to support it, the Crystal Palace team under Pardew was firmly in the middle of the league and defeated his "old enemy" 3:1 at Anfield. Liverpool, let Gerrard's farewell performance at home left an alternative imprint.

In the end, Crystal Palace's results were relegated, and they also achieved the second highest Premier League ranking in team history, 10th.

而本赛季，在联赛踢完半程19轮过后，他们更是以9胜4平6负积31分的成绩，高居积分榜的第5位！
Behind them, there are even giants like Manchester United and Liverpool.

And it turns out that Alan Pardue has something.

Chelsea was stunned by the world-renowned battle at Schehurst Park.

At the end of the first half, the score was 2:0, with Crystal Palace leading! !
Both goals came after 40 minutes.

The first goal was a breakthrough from Zaha, but was tripped by a reckless tackle from Chelsea defender Zouma. The referee signaled a yellow card and a penalty kick.

Then, the captain of Crystal Palace, the Australian Jedinak, scored the penalty.

And the second goal was scored by Bamford!

本赛季租借到水晶宫的班福德，逐渐地顶替掉了格伦·穆雷的位置，成为了阿兰·帕杜4-2-3-1战术体系中那个“1”的首选中锋。

Crystal Palace took advantage of Chelsea's mental instability after conceding the ball, and launched a counterattack on the road after seeing the gap left by Cancelo's forward attack.

Right winger South Korean international Lee Ching-yong received a pass from French international Cabaye, drove straight in at an extremely fast speed, cut to the bottom line of the penalty area, passed the ball low and flat to the goal, and Bamford made a shovel shot in front of the goal.

For a while, these two goals made Chelsea dizzy, and the fans at Schehurst Park entered a long period of ecstasy.

Today's opponent is Chelsea, who is going to create an unbeaten record of 58 games!

Crystal Palace actually led at halftime, and still led by two goals!

This is something that no one could think of.

The head coach of Crystal Palace, Alan Pardew, who is known as the "King of Dance in the coaching world", even performed a mechanical dance in front of the home audience, which once again aroused bursts of applause and cheers from the audience.

This obviously ironic dance is routine for Alan Pardue, who is passionate on and off the court.

He doesn't know how much trouble he has caused in English football.

As early as 2006, Alan Pardew, who was still the head coach of West Ham United at the time, had just won the "Premier League Coach of the Month" for the first time, but he and Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger began to scold each other. The spark was Arsene Wenger's starting XI without any English players in Arsenal's Champions League game against Real Madrid.

In the UK, there are many football practitioners and fans who are proud of being the pioneers of modern football. Wenger's move undoubtedly stung their nerves, and Alan Pardew is probably one of them.

So he publicly "fired" Wenger, and Wenger satirized Pardew as a xenophobic, but Pardew immediately denied it, and used his marriage with his Swedish wife as an example.

The conflict between the two broke out again in the match between the two teams in November of that year. Haywood's shovel shot to kill Arsenal in the 11th minute, Pardew celebrated unrestrainedly on the sidelines, releasing his suppressed emotions.

Such an exaggerated behavior completely angered the professor, who has always been known for his elegance, and the latter pushed Pardew on the chest. Fortunately, the referee stopped it in time to avoid a farce from being staged.

And today, Alan Pardue's dance, of course, made Chelsea feel ashamed from top to bottom.

It's just that Pan Yi has always emphasized that the coaches and players should resolve matters on the court, so no one physically stopped Alan Pardew like Wenger.

In fact, when the half-time whistle blew, most of the Chelsea players hurried off the field without seeing Alan Pardew at all.

And the end of the first half of the game at this time can be regarded as giving the Blues players a chance to breathe.

When Pan Yi walked into the visiting team's locker room at Schehurst Park, he could clearly feel the flustered mood of the players.

Perhaps it is not only panic, but also fear!
This is an inexplicable fear of the imminent historic record.

It was this fear that made them mess up in the final stage of the first half.

And after losing two goals in a row, such fear spread even more presumptuously in the locker room.

Everyone began to be afraid, afraid that the records set along the way might be ended here!

Pan Yi understands this psychology very well.

In fact, people who win more often are more afraid of losing.

And the more you are afraid of losing, the easier it is to lose, and even the worse you lose.

This is why many coaches need to lower the expectations of players, that is to reduce the pressure in their hearts.

And now, Pan Yi needs to do the same.

Therefore, he first grabbed Arteta who was about to stand in front of the stage and start drawing on the whiteboard.

This passionate speech master, if he were to talk about it, maybe today he would draw a manga in which Dragon Ball Kakarot was beaten all the time and then turned into a Super Saiyan to inspire everyone...

But Pan Yi knows that the current Chelsea generals don't need motivation, they need calmness even more.

"I'll say it today." Pan Yi said to Arteta calmly, showing a confident smile.

Arteta was slightly surprised, so confident at this time?

But what Pan Yi said naturally carried an unquestionable authority in Chelsea's dressing room.

Everyone believes in him!

Not to mention Arteta, who already regards Pan Yi as his idol.

"Understood, boss." Brother Tazi nodded, and then stood in the corner with Stellan Holland and others.

Then, Pan Yi stood in the middle, among all the players.

The players looked up at Pan Yi, ready to wait for the boss's reprimand.

If the ball hits this level, Pan Yi has a high probability of cursing.

Probably something like this:
"What happened? Can't go on like this!"

"I can't accept such a kick, you must show better performance!"

"Aren't you full?"

"Let the uniform team play better than you!"

Might lose a water bottle or something.

But Pan Yi didn't say anything, just stood there.

The locker room also gradually quieted down.

The original heavy breathing gradually calmed down.

They also gradually understood that Pan Yi didn't want to scold them, but to calm them down.

Get out of the conceded goal in the first half!

And as Pan Yi's confident eyes passed over the faces of one player after another, everyone seemed to relax a lot.

The boss has a bottom line!

What is two goals behind?
Moreover, Pan Yi didn't get angry because of the backwardness, which also let the players relax a little nervously.

At this time, Pan Yi stood in front of the tactical board.

He's going to start adjusting his tactics directly.

After all, spirit is only part of a football game, and more parts are composed of the team's tactics and the performance of the players.

You can't become an ever-victorious army if you have spirit but no skills and tactics, or if you only have skills and tactics but no spirit.

Some fake fans always put too much emphasis on the power of "spirit". For example, a certain team can win a stronger opponent as long as they fight hard, catch up with Japan and South Korea, rush out of Asia and go to the world...

The problem is that spiritual strength can indeed make up for some technical and tactical disadvantages, but it must also be within a certain gap.

If you let an amateur team fight for the top Barcelona, ​​no matter how hard they fight, they can't make up for the technical gap, and their opponents are not completely unwilling.

There is also the most common "death row" football method. It seems that as long as the gun is pointed at their back, they can win the World Cup.

If this trick is effective, it will not only be the World Cup of football, but also win all the championships in basketball, tennis, and sprinting. Maybe it can also overcome the problem of chips, emigrate to Mars, and so on.

Pan Yi naturally knew the key to this, so he always grasped it with both hands, and had to be tough with both hands.

"I will make an adjustment in the midfield, Gretzka, you have to go down and rest for a while, and I will send Hazard to replace you, because we need stronger offensive firepower."

Pan Yi looked at Gretzka.

Today, Pan Yi's "Desperate Saburo" combination of Lingard + Gretzka + Kanter in the midfield is to compete with Crystal Palace for the midfield.

In fact, Gretzka also played very well, and his role as a barrier in the midfield is also obvious.

In fact, the current score of zero to two is more like an accident. From the penalty kick to the expanded score after the panic, it is too fast.

But now, there is no choice but to strengthen the offense.

In this way, the attack power of Lingard + Hazard's double midfielder combination is obviously stronger than that of Gretzka, who is currently more defensive.

Gretzka also looked at Pan Yi and nodded heavily to express his understanding.

When a player is replaced after only half a game, in most cases there will be some opinions.

But not Goretzka, who has a good work ethic.

Especially when this decision is made by a magical coach like Pan Yi.

When everyone in the team obeys their head coach unconditionally, even if Pan Yi made adjustments during the first half of the game, probably no one would have any objections...

"Very good, then you can go take a shower now." Pan Yi said to Gretzka with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Gretzka also got up: "The rest of the game is up to you! Although I can't help you on the field, my heart will always be with you!"

Pan Yi went up and kicked Gretzka's ass: "Who made you say so much, and made it so sensational..."

So Gretzka left amidst the laughter and applause of his teammates.

"Guys, I understand the desire to equal Milan's record, but this should not be a shackle that hinders your progress."

Pan Yi began to speak formally, and the locker room also became quiet during training.

"I once told the media that I don't really care if I break this record."

"But I told you again, we can definitely break all kinds of records."

"Perhaps you will wonder, isn't this a bit contradictory? Is this just a smoke bomb?"

"No, it's not."

"I said a long time ago that as long as it is a game, I want to win. This is the most important thing. This is why I shouted the slogan of seven championships early before the season."

"If I keep winning, doesn't that mean I can definitely break all the records?"

"So, I don't care about a certain record, but care about every current game, and make serious preparations and hard work for it."

"I hope you can do the same. It's about leaving the record behind and focusing on every game in front of you!"

"I know, it's difficult. From this day in the history of football, no team has won all the games, won all the titles."

"This is impossible. All invincible divisions will always lose in the end, and they will always lose the championship."

"But this does not prevent us from trying our best in every game! Our enemy will always be ourselves!"

Pan Yi's words made everyone in the locker room nod their heads.

According to Pan Yi, the atmosphere in the locker room is almost the same. It is a relatively appropriate ratio between "relaxation" and "tension", which allows the players to perform at their best.

So he continued:

"So, in the second half of the game, I need you to show your courage and determination to show your strength!"

"In the last season, we have proved to the whole world that we are the strongest team in the world. Then, a team like Crystal Palace should not be a hindrance to us."

"In the second half, we need to press up and create more trouble for our opponents."

"Crystal Palace will definitely fight in the midfield. Jedinak and Cabaye are still very capable in the middle."

"More importantly, because they don't have our advantage in passing the ball, they have to fight to stop our long possession of the ball. They did that in the first half and they also tasted the sweetness. I believe Alan. Pardew will continue to do that."

"And when we're pressed, pass the ball back to Van Dijk or David Luiz to reorganize."

"The two wing-backs have to attack aggressively, control the ball in the middle, Lingard and Hazard have to respond actively, hit the opponent's two ribs a lot, the ball is on the right side and we hit the left rib, the ball is on the left We will hit the right rib."

"Lingard and Hazard have to take the ball forward decisively and pass forward to create more trouble for the opponent."

"The most important thing is to let our opponents see our courage and determination, let them feel the danger, make them fear and fear!"

"I have no doubt that we have the strength to reverse the situation. Although it is difficult, I know that you can do it, and you will definitely do it!"

At the end of Pan Yi's speech, he almost roared out.

Having said that, the whistle to urge the venue has already sounded.

Pan Yi clapped his palm vigorously, "Okay, that's about it."

The players stood up, and everyone's eyes were full of determination at this time.

"Finally, I want to say one more word to you."

"You are the champions of the Champions League, a powerful team aiming to win seven championships! We should not be afraid of any opponent, because you are the strongest!"

"Didn't he, Alan Pardue, dance to humiliate us? Time to hit him hard!"

"I will keep watching you from the sidelines, I believe, you will not let me down!"

After finishing speaking, Pan Yi applauded vigorously to signal his disbandment and was ready to play.

And all the players came to Pan Yi one after another and hugged him.

When Lingard hugged Pan Yi, he put down a sentence:

"I'm going to let Alan Pardew know that in London, there's only one King of the Dance! That's..."
