After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 459 Give Ibrahimovic a successful career!

Lying on the bed at home in London, Pan Yi opened his eyes wide, thinking.

Although two days have passed, the UEFA Champions League final at the San Siro Stadium in Milan still occupies the pages of large and small newspapers in the UK, and even the entire European media.

Pan Yi and his stars have become the focus of attention of all fans.

Especially Pan Yi, led three teams in different leagues, won four Champions League titles, and also won seven championships in the season. Fans raved about it.

But after two days of hype, other voices began to surface.

That's why Pan Yi hasn't renewed his contract with Chelsea yet?
Where does he want to go?

Manchester City?Manchester United?It's impossible, these two teams have just officially announced their new coaches, and they are at the level of Guardiola and Mourinho respectively.

Real Madrid?Barcelona?Bayern?I haven't heard of any connection between the two.

As a result, all kinds of gossip news, large and small, from unknown sources, appeared on the pages of major newspapers one after another.

The most outrageous news is that Pan Yi will return to Longguo to succeed Gao Hongbo as the head coach of the Longguo national team.

Regarding these false rumors, Pan Yi felt embarrassed even after seeing them.

Xiao Gao is very good at taking care of him, why did you change him?
After Gao Hongbo coached the national football team for the second time, he broke through the top 40 and entered the top 9 competition in the Asian region of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers that will start in September.

Now that Gao Hongbo is leading the team to prepare for the game, how could the national football team suddenly go to Pan Yi?

What's more, Pan Yi has long made it clear that he will not coach the national football team.

These people just want to make big news.

"What are you thinking about?" Valentina walked out of the room, came to Pan Yi, and looked down at him.

She was wearing pajamas, and the two mountain peaks in front of her were looming.

"What kind of posture should I use to fight later?" Pan Yi replied with a smile, and then stretched out his hand.

Valentina grinned, avoiding the trick of "grabbing Nailong's claw hand".

Resting at home these two days, there have been many "China-Italy friendly matches" in this room.

But Pan Yi is really talented, he is so talented that he can fight when he comes, Valentina is a little tired from the torment.

However, Valentina can actually guess what Pan Yi is thinking now.

It was the call I received at the UEFA Champions League awards ceremony two days ago!
Ibrahimovic personally invited Pan Yi to coach the Swedish national team.

Pan Yi is considering whether to take over this "mess".

Just a few days ago, in a warm-up match for the 2016 European Cup, the Swedish national team lost 0:2 to the Slovenian team.

You know, Slovenia did not even enter the main match of the European Cup. This defeat put great pressure on the head coach of the Swedish national team, Eric Hamlen.

The dissatisfaction of the Swedish media and fans is not just because of this game.

In the qualifiers, Sweden was in a group with Austria, Russia, Montenegro, Liechtenstein and Moldova.

It stands to reason that there are no strong teams like England, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Belgium in the group, and Sweden, which has stars like Ibrahimovic and Forsberg, still has a great hope of qualifying directly.

But their group journey was extremely difficult. They failed to win the key battles against Austria, Russia and Montenegro, and only defeated the underdogs Liechtenstein and Moldova.

In the second cycle, Sweden's performance was even worse, losing 0:1 to Russia and 1:4 to Austria's direct dialogue, which completely missed the top two of the group.

In the end, Sweden finished third in the group.

If in the past, Sweden's results have actually been eliminated.

But fortunately, the 2016 European Cup was expanded to 24 teams for the first time, so the 8 third-place teams still have the qualifications to fight for the 4 European Cup main matches.

Sweden drew the Nordic brother Denmark, the result was 2:2 away and 2:1 at home, and got the last ticket to France.

Such results, of course, make Sweden very dissatisfied.

What makes them even more dissatisfied is the content of the game led by Hamlen.

To sum it up in one sentence, Hamlen's Swedish team has two tactics, one is to find Ibrahimovic with a set ball, and the other is to retreat Ibrahimovic.In short, it's all Ibrahimovic.

Can win, generally because Ibrahimovic played well;

Losing the game is often because Ibrahimovic was seen dead and did not perform.

What kind of tactic is this?
And Hamlen argued: "Give the ball to your team's best star, how can it not be considered a strategy?"

Such remarks have also caused great controversy.

After the Swedish national team lost 0:2 to Slovenia, the opposition to Hamlen reached its climax.

Many people believe that this coach whose career has only been mixed in the Nordic League is not the best candidate to coach the Swedish national team.

If he continues to lead the Swedish team to the European Cup, it will only bring about a humiliating ending.

In the end, Ibrahimovic, the number one star of the Swedish national team, also took the initiative to find Hamlen, suggesting that he could improve his tactics, but was rejected.

There was a strong dispute between the two, and Hamron also resigned on his own initiative.

The pressure on him is one aspect, and the falling out with Ibrahimovic is also an important reason.

All his tactics revolve around Ibrahimovic, and now that he is in conflict with Ibrahimovic, this team really can't take it down.

This also made the Swedish national team unprepared.

For the Swedish Football Association, even if they want to fire Hamlen, all their original plans were to wait until the end of the European Cup. bring.

But now Hamlun's sudden resignation really caught them off guard.

At this time, Ibrahimovic thought of Pan Yi.

"Isn't this guy rumored that he will leave Chelsea after winning the seven crowns? Let me ask! Besides, it's not like other coaches haven't done part-time club and national team work!"

So, the call came to Pan Yi.

For the past two days, Pan Yi has been thinking about this matter.
-
What Pan Yi struggles with is actually not the choice between Chelsea and the Swedish national team, or both.

In fact, his coaching contract with Chelsea has ended.

After all, Pan Yi's coaching contract with Chelsea only ends after the end of this season and the Champions League final, which is legally over. Pan Yi only has some details to settle with the team.

"We all regret your decision, but we are all willing to respect your choice." This is the attitude of Chelsea boss Abramovich, including the management.

In the past two seasons, Pan Yi has led Chelsea to almost invincibility. Now he has not only won the second consecutive Premier League and the second consecutive Champions League, but also created a bunch of historical records and an unprecedented achievement of seven championships!

In addition, he also left Chelsea with such a strong team, and even the most powerful youth training system in the world, they have no way to make more demands on Pan Yi, they can only respect Pan Yi's choice to retire bravely .

"You will always be a legendary manager at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea will always welcome you."

Getting together and getting together is the norm in European professional football.

Moreover, Pan Yi is only 30 years old now, so there is no guarantee that Chelsea will need Pan Yi to rescue them in the future. It is also very important to maintain a good relationship between the two - this is also an important motivation for Abramovich's company to sponsor York City.

So, don't say that Pan Yi is not renewing the contract now, and the contract is automatically terminated;

Even if there is still a contract, as long as Pan Yi wants to leave, they will not force him to stay.

When Pan Yi left Chelsea, he didn't mean to go to another club. In fact, he just wanted to keep his promise to Valentina and take a good rest with her.

This is the case in professional football. I don’t go to the game to train all day long, or I am on the way to the game to train. I really don’t have a lot of time with my girlfriend.

So much so that when many players and coaches retire, they will mention: "It's time to spend more time with their families."

Including Messi's choice to play in the United States later, it is obvious that the family's feelings and life also play a very important factor.

After Pan Yi became famous this time, he really felt great satisfaction and relaxation, and he really wanted to rest for a while.

But now Ibrahimovic's call made him entangled.

His career at the club can indeed be said to be very complete, but the national team is still blank.

What a coincidence to have the opportunity of the Swedish national team.

Moreover, compared with the club's coaching, the intensity of the national team's coaching is really one day at a time.

There are only so many national team match days in a year. As the head coach of the national team, he often just goes to various places to inspect players. This can even be regarded as a kind of tourism...

But the problem is that no matter how low the work intensity is, it is still work after all.

What about Valentina's promise?
"Go if you want, don't hesitate."

At this time, Valentina's voice sounded in Pan Yi's ear.

"Really?" Pan Yi said in surprise.

"The main reason is that you stay at home all the time, and I can't stand it." Valentina snorted, "You...you are too strong."

"Haha..." Pan Yi laughed loudly, and immediately jumped up from the bed, "Then I'll call Ibrahimovic immediately!"

Of course he is biased towards coaching the Swedish team.

Although the overall strength of the Swedish national team is mediocre, doesn't this just reflect Pan Yi's excellence?
Moreover, the Swedish team has Ibrahimovic in front, Forsberg in the middle, Lindelof in the back, and Isaacsson in the goalkeeper. In fact, this central axis is not bad;
As long as you build tactics around this central axis and add some green leaves, it's not impossible to wrestle with some strong teams.

There is a more important point, that is, Pan Yi has always admired Ibrahimovic.

The main reason is that people are really upright, not pretentious, what should be his is his, and what should not be his, he will not want it.

When Ibrahimovic was at Manchester United in his previous life, he even refused to receive wages during the recovery period because of his own injury, and even offered to play for Manchester United for free;

Later, he returned to Milan at the end of his career, and he was able to help the boys of AC Milan regain the league championship and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League...

Moreover, when renewing his contract with Milan, Ibrahimovic also took the initiative to cut his salary significantly, and he was willing to sit on the bench, just to take care of those boys in the locker room.

It can be said that the return of Ibrahimovic is the beginning of Milan's hope of revival. He has brought the team a domineering and self-confidence that has not been seen for a long time!
In the minds of Milan fans, Ibrahimovic is also a god-like existence.

Ibrahimovic is usually very pretentious, but he does have the capital to be pretentious, and he also really loves the team.

In this life, after Pan Yi gave him a UEFA Champions League title, he tried to add another touch to his national team career, which can be regarded as a relatively happy ending for the king's career.

Of course, this can also fill in the gaps in Pan Yi's coaching resume for the national team.

Win-win!

Seeing Pan Yi's excited appearance, Valentina shook her head slightly, but the corner of her mouth couldn't help showing a smile.

Seeing Pan Yi happy, of course she was happy too.

She knew very well in her heart that her boyfriend was not the kind of person who could sit idle.

In his early thirties, he was in the prime of life, how could he be free?
It is impossible to really have a "friendly match" at home every day.

He was destined to belong to the football field, Valentina was very sure.

From the first day she knew Pan Yi, she knew this clearly.

"Well, I'll take them through this European Cup first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Pan Yi suddenly hugged Valentina tightly, "In this case, I can lead the national team and I can have more time with you."

"Really?" This time it was Valentina's turn to surprise.

To put it bluntly, she still hopes that Pan Yi can spend as much time by her side as possible.

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if Pan Yi's work needs and her own emotional needs could be met?
"That's right. In order to celebrate our consensus, there shouldn't be an extra match?" Pan Yi pushed Valentina down on the bed again as soon as he spoke.

"Hate……"
-
"I can only sign a short-term contract with you first. In fact, it is equivalent to an acting head coach. The cooperation will continue until the end of this European Cup."

After Ibrahimovic's introduction, when Pan Yi met with the chairman of the Swedish Football Association Carl Eric Nielsen, he began to make his own request.

"As for whether to continue such cooperation in the future, we can wait until the European Cup is over."

"In addition, I hope to transfer my own coaching staff to the national team. At the same time, from now on, the national team training camp will be under my control, and everything there will be under my control."

"I have the right to make some revisions to the list of the national team that has been announced so far, and finally report to UEFA's list, which is subject to my adjustment."

"If a player commits any breach of discipline under my rule, I can kick him out of the national team without any other reason..."

These conditions may seem harsh, but they are all things that Pan Yi has always asked to do when he was in the club, so he needs to be like this even in the national team, otherwise the work will not be easy to carry out.

And Chairman Nelson kept nodding, without any objection.

For these conditions proposed by Pan Yi, in fact, he is not satisfied with only one, and that is the "acting head coach", the time is too short!
It would be best if Pan Yi could be the head coach of the Swedish national team for the rest of his life, at least until the next World Cup!
But Nelson also understands that with a position like Pan Yi, being able to coach the Swedish national team is condescending. Can he ask for more?
He believes that as long as Pan Yi is willing, he can choose almost any team in the world, whether it is a club or a national team!
Specifically at the level of the national team, wouldn't it be good for someone to bring a team like Germany, England, or Belgium that is hopeful to win the championship?Not to mention that these national teams are more or less related to Pan Yi.

It can be said that Pan Yi's ability to bring the Swedish national team is entirely due to Ibrahimovic's face.

And the Swedish team changed coaches before the European Cup. To be honest, it is already very good to find a half-baked player. Now it is too late to have the most powerful player in the world. ?
Maybe he can lead the Swedish team to a good result in the European Cup...

In this European Cup, Sweden's grouping is really bad. It is in a group with Italy and Belgium, the two favorites to win the championship, and there is also a difficult Ireland in the same group.

It can be said that this group is recognized as the death group in this European Cup.

This is also a major reason why everyone does not have any confidence in the former head coach Hamlen.

You can't even beat Slovenia, but you still want to win Italy and Belgium?
As a time traveler, Pan Yi also remembers that in this group, Sweden was indeed a role to accompany the prince to study. They only drew with Ireland, then lost to Italy and Belgium, and finally got out of the group at the bottom.

Therefore, he must make changes to the Swedish national team, so as to change the fate of Ibrahimovic in his previous life.

Not only in terms of tactics, but also in terms of personnel. Of course, the two are interlinked, that is, excellent players who can implement Pan Yi's tactics are needed!

"Since there is no problem with what you said to me, then I will start my work." Pan Yi immediately entered the role vigorously and resolutely.

Nelson only nodded.

After all, he is a famous coach who is used to being the head coach of a wealthy team. He arranges things comprehensively and considers problems comprehensively. He is also very courageous in doing things, and his aura is especially strong!
As the chairman of the Football Association, Nelson really feels a bit submissive.

"In the 23-man roster, I don't want this Norrkoping striker Kuhovic, and this Trabzonspor Zeng Jing. I want to replace two other people."

"No problem, who should I replace?" Nelson nodded, and then ordered the assistants to write down Pan Yi's words.

Although the current Swedish team has players who can be called stars like Ibrahimovic, Fossribe, and Lindelof, many other players seem to be "making up the numbers" to put it bluntly.

There are a large number of second-rate players who have played in the Nordic League, Turkey, and the Greek League in the team, so that players like Kjellstrom who are already very old are still in the team.

The former Arsenal player is 34 years old and is still the core midfielder of the Swedish national team.

Therefore, now that Pan Yi has his own candidate, of course it is the best.

As long as anyone who has seen the ball played by someone picked by Pan Yi can't help but give Pan Yi a thumbs up: "You are so accurate!"

"Forward Isaac." Pan Yi quickly reported a name.

"Issa... who? Who is this?" Nelson turned to look at the assistant.

The assistant quickly lowered his head to operate in front of the computer, and then replied: "Alexander Isaac was born in Solna, Sweden on September 1999, 9. He debuted in the AIK youth training in Stockholm. He has played in the Swedish Super League with the first team this year. And scored 21 goals."

"Not yet 17 years old?" Nelson opened his mouth wide, "You mean him, right? Isn't it the same name?"

He was surprised how Pan Yi knew that there would be such a young rookie in Sweden.

After all, even if the Swedish national team lacks outstanding talents, their own scouts have not discovered it!

Of course, it is also possible that there was a report before, but the former head coach felt that this person was too young to be used.

As for Pan Yi, although the current Isaac is indeed very young, it is definitely not a loss to use him to replace a second- and third-rate striker.

In fact, Isaac only played in the Swedish League for one year before he was spotted by Dortmund, a well-known black shop in Germany.

After half a year, he will join the Hornets with a worth of 1000 million euros and perform well.

Afterwards, he played brilliantly in Real Sociedad, and finally transferred to the Premier League's local tycoon Newcastle United at a high price of 7000 million euros, and also created the highest signing record in the history of Newcastle.

Isaac is tall and strong, with excellent skills, speed, and shooting ability. He was called "New Ibrahimovic" when he debuted.

In fact, even in his previous life, he was selected for the Swedish national team to fight alongside Ibrahimovic less than half a year later.

At the same time, he also scored the first goal of the national team in January 2017, and has maintained the two records of the youngest international player and the youngest scorer of the Swedish national team.

So, Pan Yi just recruited Isaac to the national team a few months in advance, and he also believes that Isaac can also show his ability in the national team in advance!
"Yes, it's him."

After getting Pan Yi's affirmation, the chairman asked his assistant to write it down quickly.

Such a rookie can be affirmed by Pan Yi, so don't hesitate, and prepare to call Stockholm AIK immediately!
Then, Pan Yi announced the next name: "Dejan Kulusevsky."

This time, just give your full name.

The chairman's assistant operated again, and this time the eyes protruding from the back of the computer were even more puzzled:

"Atlanta...youth team?"

That's right, Kulusevski, the future Tottenham winger, is also more than 16 years old now, and has not really played in the professional league.

His road to fame took a little later than Isaac, and he didn't play in Serie A until 2019.

But he performed very well during his loan at Parma. He was selected as a shortlist for the European Golden Boy Award that year and was named the best young player in Serie A.

This performance also attracted the attention of Serie A giants Juventus, and they quickly spent 3500 million euros to acquire him!
He also played the main force at Juventus and was later loaned to Tenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Now the young Kulusevsky may not have the immediate combat power like Isaac, but he has potential in being young and has a strong ability to accept new tactics.

Pan Yi believes that he can stimulate some of his abilities in a short period of time through training!

Otherwise, there are only a few veteran players on Sweden's front line, and it will be difficult to implement Pan Yi's frontcourt pressing tactics well.

For example, Marcus Berry, who is also 30 years old this year, was Pan Yi's old player in Hamburg, but he has been like that since he was sold to Panathinaikos, and he has not improved much.

This summer, he has already been negotiating a transfer with the UAE team Al Ain, and he is going to go to Asia to seek gold and enjoy himself.

Even Ibrahimovic, the biggest player in the team, is already 34 years old!

Although Pan Yi's experience in his previous life told him that Ibrahimovic will be promising in the next few years, and even played until he was 41 before retiring, but he still needs to be sparing.

Let Ibrahimovic act as a fulcrum to run less, put a few young people around him to help him run, and cooperate with Forsberg's offensive organization ability. This is the general strategy of the Swedish team initially formulated by Pan Yi.

Although Ibrahimovic is a man with his own system, he cannot completely rely on him.

Otherwise, the future will definitely fall into the embarrassment of the former head coach-once Ibrahimovic is caught and does not perform well, the Swedish team will be finished.

"Any questions?"

Pan Yi asked, and Chairman Nelson hurriedly replied: "No problem, no problem, as long as you need people, we will definitely send them to the national team!"

"That's nothing else." Pan Yi smiled. "Now these national team players, let me meet them. There will be a warm-up match in a few days, right?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Yes, there is a match." Nelson nodded again, and hurriedly answered Pan Yi's question, "They are at the national training base, and they will go to England to participate in the warm-up match in a few days."

The current European Cup kicks off on June 6, but the Swedish team's first match in Group E will be played on June 11.

Therefore, in addition to the game with Slovenia, Sweden also arranged a warm-up match with Wales, which will be played on June 6.

This is an away game in the UK. After the game, I will fly directly to France and drop by.

And Wales was also shortlisted for this European Cup - in fact, they were upset and entered the semi-finals - so their strength is definitely higher than that of Slovenia, and Pan Yi also needs to make good preparations.

It is a bit different from the club's warm-up match. Since the teammates of the national team do not usually train together, the warm-up match, especially the warm-up match before the big game, is a very valuable opportunity for joint training.

Coupled with the fact that the head coach of the Swedish team resigned before the battle, the overall morale of the players is a bit low. It is also very important to perform well in the warm-up match.

"Also, please sort out the relevant information of the national team as soon as possible and give it to me, including the video of the game. I will study it in the next two days." Pan Yi finally ordered.

After receiving an affirmative answer from Nelson, Pan Yi sighed: "Then I have to call Pintus and Arteta immediately."

"They should all be going on vacation, right? I don't know if they will call me a workaholic, haha."

"It's okay, let them arrange their family members to France, after all, it's also a good place for vacation..."
