After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

February 1, Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea away to Arsenal.

The focus of the London derby in the 23rd round of the Premier League was not very exciting.

Since the second round of the League Cup semi-final with Liverpool will be ushered in three days later, Pan Yi, who is aiming for the seven-time champion, will instead focus on the next game.

Therefore, in this game, Pan Yi sent a rotation lineup mainly composed of young players, and strived to stabilize his position in the away game to counterattack.

However, facing Pan Yi, Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger was also very cautious. The team also played patiently and defended very tightly.

As a result, after kicking and kicking, Chelsea controlled the ball and rhythm.

But the two sides still entangled more in the midfield, and also wasted a lot of scoring opportunities.

Mbappe missed a single shot, and Abraham's close-range shot failed to help Chelsea break the deadlock.

On Arsenal's side, Giroud's undercut shot also hit the post and popped out.

At the end of 10 minutes, the two sides handed each other a goalless draw, and finally shook hands with a score of [-]-[-].

Chelsea scored their fourth draw of the season.

This also gave Leicester City, who defeated Stoke City 3-0 in this round, the opportunity to narrow the points gap by two points.

At the same time, because Arsenal, which originally had the same score with it, only scored 1 point, Leicester City can also occupy the No.2 position exclusively.

It's just that, because Chelsea's lead is too obvious, the two points after catching up are still too insignificant.

Pan Yi can still put more energy into the League Cup!

On January 1, Stamford Bridge Stadium.

In the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, Chelsea sits at home against Liverpool.

The atmosphere of the whole game was extremely strong.

Chelsea is going to compete for seven championships, and they will not relax on all fronts;
As for Liverpool, although they have been catching up in the league, they are still far behind the top four. Therefore, Klopp, who has just arrived, also pays more attention to the results of the cup competition, especially the League Cup, which has already entered the semi-finals.

Only one goal was lost to Chelsea in the first round, so there is still a great chance of a comeback!

So Liverpool did their best in this game.

The two sides played very fiercely in the first half, and Harry Kane and Firmino scored a goal for their respective teams, and the halftime was tied 1:1.

The two teams remained stalemate for most of the rest of the game.

Chelsea had the advantage of passing and possession, but Liverpool's defense was very careful.

Pan Yi also made consecutive substitutions in the second half, trying to play a threat.

When the game progressed to the 89th minute, the score was still one to one, and no one could break the opponent's goal.

However, due to the results of the first round of the game, Chelsea had a psychological advantage at this time, so they stopped attacking so aggressively, but recovered some formations to fight back.

Liverpool, on the other hand, was more anxious. Under Klopp's command, they frequently pressed the front line to Chelsea's 30-meter area.

At this point Chelsea fought back comfortably.

After a Liverpool shot failed, Chelsea goalkeeper Martinez drove the ball up the field with a big kick, and Lukaku took the ball outside the top of the arc.

After he first supported Henderson with his body, he skillfully protected the ball with his left foot, and when Emre Can made a tackle, he chose to pass the ball into the penalty area.

Harry Kane had already withdrawn from the front at this time, with his back to the goal, and supported Lovren behind him with his body. When facing Lukaku's pass, he chose to use the inside of his left foot to directly Another pass.

After the ball was picked up by Harry Kane, it went over Lovren and fell to the left of the small box behind the Liverpool defense.

At this time, Mbappe, who was replaced as a left winger in the second half, went straight behind Lovren at a very fast speed. Before the ball hit the ground, he made a volley shot with his left foot and drew the ball directly to the right side of the goal. Hit the right side netting of the Liverpool goal.

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"Chelsea! It's Chelsea's lore! This goal can be said to have killed the game!"

"It's Mbappe again!"

"This 17-year-old French teenager received an assist from Harry Kane and scored the winning goal for Chelsea!"

"Two to one!"

"I have to say that Mbappe's performance is really great recently. He has scored key goals in the game more than once!"

"It is said that Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and other giants are paying attention to this young player. Especially Paris, as Mbappe's home team, especially want to bring him back to France."

"But obviously, Pan Yi and Chelsea will not let people go. With such a star of hope in the team, the strikers in the next ten years will have no worries!"

"Of course, this has to mention Pan Yi's insight and boldness in employing people again."

"Another coach, does he really dare to let this kid play in a big team like Chelsea when he is only 16 years old?"

"And Pan Yi's use of Mbappe is obviously very thoughtful. In the final stage of the game, Mbappe's speed is often the key to changing the trend of the game and breaking the deadlock."

"At this time, his breakthrough or back penetration always makes the opponent's defensive players at a loss!"

"Now, we can congratulate Pan Yi and his Chelsea, they have reached the final of the League Cup this season!"

"Their opponents in the final will be... Manchester City!"

In another League Cup semi-final yesterday, Manchester City lost 1:2 to Everton away.

However, due to the 3:1 victory in the first round, this allowed Manchester City to eliminate Everton with a total score of 4:3 and successfully entered the final.

The League Cup final will be held at Wembley Stadium on February 2.

On January 1, Chelsea played an away game against Milton Keynes, which was a contest in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Milton Keynes is a British Championship team, the name sounds a bit strange, in fact, his predecessor was Wimbledon, the Premier League team known as the "Crazy Gang".

Can't remember?
When Beckham scored a shocking half-time lob shot "become famous" at Manchester United, the background team of that game was Wimbledon.

However, there is also a team called AFC Wimbledon in the second division. What's the situation?
In fact, today's AFC Wimbledon was established by angry Wimbledon fans after the original Wimbledon (Milton Keynes) announced its move.

That's right, this is a bit similar to the "United Manchester United" formed by Manchester United fans after Glazer's acquisition of Manchester United.

Milton Keynes and AFC Wimbledon, the hatred between the two teams is very subtle, to some extent, it can be said to be one-way.

Milton Keynes fans don't hate AFC Wimbledon too much, but AFC Wimbledon fans regard Milton Keynes as a sworn enemy.

It's not about geography, religion, or politics, it's about faith.

Nowadays, AFC Wimbledon is playing well in the League Two, and there is great hope that they can enter the promotion play-offs;
And Milton Keynes is not doing well in the British Championship and is still in the relegation zone.

Therefore, after drawing Chelsea in the FA Cup, they chose to lie flat.

1:5, this is the final score, Chelsea also easily entered the fifth round of the FA Cup, which is the last 16.

Interestingly, they drew Manchester City again in the round of 16 draw!

This also means that Chelsea will face Manchester City's challenge in both the League Cup and the FA Cup! ——
Ahead of Christmas and the devil's game in the winter break, countless people sang dirges about Chelsea, thinking that it is difficult for this team to keep pace on multiple fronts because it is too difficult.

Almost every three days a game is played, the league, the Club World Cup, the League Cup, and the FA Cup come one after another, and the round of 16 of the Champions League will soon follow.

And the opponents include Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and other strong teams. Such a devil's schedule is almost fatal!
Some media bluntly believe that this is the most difficult schedule in the history of the Premier League!
Some media also said that if Pan Yi does not let go of his obsession with seven championships and does not make some trade-offs in the game, the team will definitely not be able to withstand it, and may even lead to a multi-line collapse.

But this period of time passed, and then everyone discovered that Chelsea survived!

League, League Cup, FA Cup, none of the fronts lost the chain, and the Club World Cup also won the championship smoothly.

At this moment, the tone of the media changed immediately.

Because the team that can survive such a difficult schedule is really unstoppable!
Everyone said that it seems that Chelsea's dream of seven crowns may really come true!

However, another team associated with Pan Yi, York City's road to the FA Cup this season really stopped at the fourth round.

They played away against Arsenal and lost 0:2.

Although eliminated, this team that has caused many surprises in the League Cup and FA Cup this season has attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone is also guessing, when York City really gets promoted to League One, with the support of boss Pan Yi, what kind of storm will be caused...
-
After the fourth round of the FA Cup, the winter transfer window of this season has come to an end.

In the winter window of this season, not only the Premier League transfer market is not lively, but also the other four major leagues.

A little noteworthy, that is, Turin announced the loan of Immobile for half a season, Rome announced the termination of Ashley Cole and then joined the Los Angeles Galaxy, and Barcelona announced that Tello would loan Fiorentina for half a season.

In other words, most of them do not pay, and even if they do, there are very few "big money" exceeding 1000 million.

Newcastle signed Swansea midfielder Shelvey for 1200 million pounds, which is already considered the king of bids...

There are really some real money, most of which happen outside the five major leagues - the sixth major league?

On January 1, Hebei China Fortune officially announced the signing of Gervinho for 26 million euros.

On January 1, Shanghai Shenhua announced the signing of Inter Milan midfielder Gualin for 27 million euros.

Coupled with the operation of Oscar joining Shanghai SIPG and Ramirez joining Jiangsu Suning in the past two years, it can be said that the Chinese Super League has really become another place for players from the five major leagues.

As for why the five major league teams this season have stood still during the winter window?

Sometimes it's just the lack of a "catfish" that stirs the market.

Imagine that if a team's main striker is poached, then they must find his replacement, and then go to another team.

And some teams get a lot of money, they will also think about a lot of reinforcements, and then there may be a butterfly effect, and the entire market will become active.

Like the subsequent transfer of Coutinho to Liverpool, which triggered a series of chain reactions later, it is an obvious example.

However, no team has jumped out to be the "catfish" this season, and the market has remained balanced. Pan Yi is also happy to see this situation.

Because in this case, he doesn't have to toss about in the winter window, and he doesn't have to spend too much time studying the strength and lineup changes of his opponents.

Now that the team is about to enter the sprint stage of various competitions, it is still very important to maintain stability! ——
On the evening of February 2th, in the 4th round of the Premier League, Chelsea played away against Watford.

Watford has played well this season and has been firmly in the middle of the league.

But today Chelsea is in very good condition, and Watford is a bit unlucky to hit the gun.

Only 5 minutes into the game, Hazard broke through from the left and then made a pass. Lukaku scored in front of the goal.

After that, Chelsea launched consecutive offensives and played more efficiently. In the 30th and 35th minutes, they scored two goals in a row within 5 minutes, and the victory was established in the first half.

In the second half, after Pan Yi made substitutions and adjustments, Chick and Gary Cahill, who came off the bench, also made contributions.

In the end, Chelsea beat Watford 5-0, taking all three points.

At the press conference after the game, most of the reporters' focus was not on the game with such a disparity in scores, but they asked about the Champions League round of 16 knockout round that will start in two weeks.

"An away game against a star-studded team like Paris Saint-Germain is always difficult, but I will still do my best to lead Chelsea to this victory." Pan Yi replied neither humble nor overbearing.

The reporter asked again: "There are rumors that Paris Saint-Germain Chairman Nasser once said that if Blanc fails to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, then he is likely to be dismissed directly. What do you think?"

This season, Paris Saint-Germain still maintains a strong momentum in Ligue [-], and it is still stronger than Chelsea in the Premier League.

Now that Ligue 24 has finished 21 rounds, they have 3 wins, [-] draws and remain unbeaten!
With a score of 66 points, Paris Saint-Germain has already thrown a huge distance of 2 points from Monaco, which is ranked No.42 with only 24 points. It can be said that the first championship is already in the bag.

However, in the eyes of Paris Saint-Germain executives, winning the championship in the weakly competitive Ligue [-] is not their goal. Their ultimate goal is the Champions League!
And since the Qatar Group entered Paris, they have stopped in the quarter-finals for several years, and this year they only won No.

Nasser couldn't sit still!
He didn't want to wait any longer!
Therefore, he gave the head coach Blank a kill order. If he doesn't win Chelsea in the round of [-], he will change his coach!

For this kind of rumor, Pan Yi expressed his support for his colleague Blanc:

"Blanc was a meritorious player of the French national team when he was young and helped the French team win the 1998 World Cup. After retiring, he also coached the French national team and once led Bordeaux to the Ligue [-] championship."

"For such a meritorious player and coach, I feel that Paris Saint-Germain lacks enough respect for him."

"It is true that the French League One may not be as competitive as the Premier League, but the record of 24 wins and 21 draws in 3 rounds is really not something that can be played by just calling anyone to coach, maybe I can't do it either."

"Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, you can take a look later. What I want to express is that the Paris Saint-Germain executives are a bit too eager for quick success. They have only been in charge of Paris for four years? Five years? But they only want to win the Champions League..."

"This is too disrespectful to the sport of football, and too disrespectful to so many teams in Europe that have worked hard for many years."

"Football is a sport that needs precipitation. After Mr. Abramovich bought Chelsea, didn't the team grow slowly and eventually become the European and world champions?"

"After the Emirates Group took over Manchester City, they also moved forward step by step, first making the team competitive in the Premier League, and then seeking a breakthrough in the European arena. But even though their team building time is longer than that of Paris, their strength is also stronger than that of Paris. Paris is equal, they also haven't won the Champions League yet."

"So, you have to be patient. It is unfair to Mr. Blank that you have released the rumor that you are going to get out of class so early. It will also seriously increase the psychological burden on the head coach and players. It affects the performance of the players."

"Overall it's one word: unprofessional!"

Pan Yi babbled a lot, which still surprised the media reporters at the scene.

It seems that Pan Yi rarely expresses so many opinions on other teams' affairs.

Could it be that his relationship with Blank is actually very strong?So I came out out of righteous indignation to help speak out.

In reality, Pan Yi and Blank can only be regarded as a casual acquaintance at most, that is, they played a few times in the game and chatted a few times before and after the game.

He is mainly not too cold about the Paris Saint-Germain team.

Regardless of past and present lives, the executives and fans of Greater Paris will always make some showy operations, which makes people dumbfounded.

For example, when you buy someone, you will only have superstars in the frontcourt, and then there will be no one in the middle and backcourt, and the gap between the substitute and the main force is astonishingly large;

And if you buy a superstar, you buy it. Players like Neymar and Messi can be used well once they are in hand. Where is this kind of player not a treasure?

But not Paris Saint-Germain.

Stumbling behind his back every day, the fans boo Neymar and Messi in various ways.

To be honest, only this kind of team with no background would do this.

Is Neymar or Messi not contributing to the team or something?
My own star players are not used to it, things like Ronaldinho getting applause after scoring a goal at the Bernabeu Stadium, and Ronaldo getting cheers from Juventus fans when he represented Real Madrid should never happen.

Therefore, Pan Yi just took the opportunity to vent.

Anyway, it is not uncommon for coaches to support each other and support each other.

Everyone is under a lot of performance pressure, and sometimes it is necessary to hold together to keep warm in order to gain an advantage in public opinion, so that the bosses will not be so impetuous and let people dismiss get out of class every day.

Therefore, Pan Yi's remarks resonated with many coaches.

"If you win the championship undefeated and get out of class, this is really outrageous." - Inzaghi.

"If the coach of each team has to win the league and the Champions League to stay in office, then there may only be one head coach left in the world in the end, and that is Pan Yi." - Nagelsman.

"I have always been a winner, but I also feel that Paris Saint-Germain's definition of victory is too strict." - Mourinho.

"If there is a clause in my contract that I must win the Champions League within the specified time, then I will definitely not go to Manchester City. It's not that I don't have confidence, but I feel that the club that makes such a request is absolutely unprofessional ’ – Pep Guardiola.

……

As for the reaction of Paris Saint-Germain?
Regardless of its.

Anyway, Pan Yi would not go to such a short-sighted and short-sighted team to coach!

On August 2, the fourth round of the Premier League.

Chelsea continued their unstoppable performance and beat West Bromwich Albion with a score of 5:1 at home.

Although West Bromwich Albion is not in the relegation zone, they are still in danger of relegation, so they naturally put up an iron bucket formation against Chelsea in the away game, and they want to try to take a point at Stamford Bridge and be satisfied.

But Chelsea launched a mad attack after the opening, and in the No. 13 minute, Goretzka inserted a long shot and scored a goal for the Blues, and Harry Kane scored another goal 4 minutes later.

Before the end of the first half, Gnabry scored another goal to extend the score to [-]-[-].

With the winning ticket in hand, Pan Yi made substitutions and adjustments early, replacing several young players.

In the second half, it was Abraham who came off the bench and scored a strong shot in the penalty area, expanding the score to four to zero.

Five minutes later, Marcos Alonso scored again, five to zero.

And West Bromwich Albion only scored a face-saving goal by McLean at the end of the game.

In the end, Chelsea won at home and added three more points.

A week later, on February 2th, Chelsea continued to sit at Stamford Bridge to meet the challenge from Newcastle United.

Although Pan Yixue hid a lot of main players for the Champions League knockout match three days later, this is still a game with a big difference in strength.

Chelsea lost only 26 games against Newcastle in nearly 2 home games, of which nearly 3 home games were all victories without conceding a goal!
Chelsea took the initiative after the opening and scored 5 goals in 2 minutes to make a fantastic start.

In the 5th minute, Mbappe made a counterattack with a direct pass, and Abraham shot into the net from the far corner in the upper right corner of the penalty area before Steven Taylor.

In the 9th minute, Ahrens made a cross pass to Matt and was intercepted by Mbappe. The French teenager single-handedly shot a rebound ball from the edge of the penalty area into the lower left corner, 2:0.

The two young forwards who started the game quickly scored goals!

Since then, Newcastle's winter window new aid Shelvey's outside shot was blocked, and Townsend's shot also lacked enough threat.

Chelsea scored again in the 17th minute. Lingard made a counterattack and made a direct pass. Mbappe overtook Coloccini with speed and then took the ball diagonally. Ivanovic pushed and scored from the edge of the penalty area at the first time, 3:0 .

This is the score of the first half.

Newcastle stepped up their offensive in the second half. One of the most threatening attacks was that Pan Yi's old player Mitrovic's shot in the penalty area was blocked, and Shelvey's push from 12 yards in the melee was blocked by Ivanovic in time.

Then Chelsea launched a counterattack.

In the 59th minute, Matic made a long pass, Steven Taylor took the lead, and Gnabry single-handedly pushed into the net from 14 yards, 4:0.

Since then, the Blues have gradually slowed down the pace of the game, and Pan Yi also began to make substitutions to make adjustments.

In the 83rd minute, Ivanovic kicked the wall with Lingard and then made a low pass from the right. Abraham poked forward and shot into the net from a close angle, 5:0!

Newcastle saved face in the 90th minute, Colback passed the ball, and Townsend broke through to the edge of the penalty area and shot into the bottom right corner of the net, 5:1.

Yes, this is another 5:1!

From beating Milton Keynes in the FA Cup to beating West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United in the Premier League, all such big scores!

This has to make people admire the recent good state of Pan Yi's team.

At the post-match press conference, Newcastle United head coach Steve McLaren regretted that he had tried his best, but Pan Yi's Chelsea was even better in terms of tactics and strength.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that in a short period of time, whether it is the Premier League or the whole of Europe, it is difficult for any team to stop Chelsea. Especially the kind of team that does not respect the coach."

McLaren meant something, probably saying that don't look at me Newcastle can't beat Chelsea, I look at your Paris Saint-Germain, who is messing with coaches, and wait to suffer!

It can also be said that Pan Yi's speech against Paris Saint-Germain's plan to fire Blanc was a wave of prestige in the entire football coaching circle.

Therefore, even if McLaren lost the game, he did not forget to support Pan Yi.

After playing the game against Newcastle United, the day when Chelsea will go to the Parc des Princes in Paris is getting closer.
