After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

In fact, Lippi's invitation to Pan Yi to serve as the technical advisor of the Longguo national team has always been done in a low-key manner.

Pan Yi's name was not even included in the list of coaches announced after Lippi officially entered the Longguo national team.

This is mainly the "specialization" of Pan Yi.

He doesn't follow the coaching staff to inspect the national team players, and he doesn't often participate in the national team's coaching staff meetings. It doesn't seem appropriate to give him an "official establishment".

What Lippi needs is that Pan Yi can make a move at a critical moment.

Of course, if the national football fans have any dissatisfaction with the team at that time, it would be best if Pan Yi came forward to help calm down.

It is also because of this that after Pan Yi agreed to Lippi to become the team's consultant, he even stayed in Europe and never went to Longguo.

And there are very few people who know about it, not even the media, let alone the fans.

But now, the "critical moment" has come.

After the first four rounds, the Longguo team had 1 draw and 3 losses, no wins, and ranked bottom in the group. Gao Hongbo took the blame and resigned.

This game at Kunming Tuodong Stadium will also be "Silver Fox" Lippi's first official game in the Dragon Country National Team.

In the last round, Qatar beat Syria by one goal. While winning the top 12 for the first time, it also gave up the bottom position to the Dragon Country team.

This is a direct duel between the bottom one and the bottom two, and it's still at home. If they can't win, then it's really GG.

Therefore, when the players of the Dragon Country national team assembled, Pan Yi also rushed to Dragon Country from England.

As soon as he arrived at Kunming Changshui International Airport, he was immediately followed by the sharp-eyed local media.

Then, after the "Kunming Daily" published a news titled "Pan Yi Surprised at the National Football Training Ground" on the front page, it quickly aroused heated discussions across the country, and even aroused carnival among netizens on the Internet.

After all, in the minds of almost all national football fans, Pan Yi is the only savior who can save the national football!

Although Mr. Lippi's level and qualifications are beyond doubt, who else can compare to Pan Yi now?Not to mention that Pan Yi is still a member of our Dragon Kingdom!

Everyone also knows that not long after the official announcement that Lippi took office as the head coach of the national football team, it is unlikely that there will be any change in position, but the fans are still excited about such news.

Not for anything else, from Pan Yi's indifference to the national football team, to supporting the national football team, and then to going to the training ground in person, this is at least a great improvement!
Judging from the photo published on the cover of the front page of "Kunming Daily", the focus is on the handsome Pan Yi, who is standing on the sidelines watching the Long Guo international on the training ground.

Beside Pan Yi are the assistant coaches of the national team, Massimiliano Madaloni, and Narciso Pezzotti.

This time Lippi signed with the national team, not just signing him alone.

In order to ensure the smooth development of the coaching work, Lippi brought his entire Italian coaching team to the national football team.

This is obviously the same as Pan Yi's thinking when he joined the Swedish national team, that is, he has acquaintances to handle things, and his execution level can also be guaranteed.

For example, Madaloni, who has been in charge of youth training all year round, is a well-known Italian youth training expert, and he has an innate sensitivity to the potential of young players.

Madaloni knows the team and is good at spotting talent.He worked in the Juventus youth training camp very early. In 2008, he became the coach of the Juventus youth team. In 09, he served as the assistant of the famous Italian coach Ferrara.

In May 2012, Madaloni joined Changzhou Hengtai following Lippi, and he was directly involved in the introduction of Elkeson and Zheng Long.

Madaloni is like the "shadow" of Lippi. When Lippi is not on the team, he will directly take on the heavy responsibility of the team's training; if Lippi cannot attend the press conference, he will also appear on the acting coach seat figure.

Lippi's success in Changzhou Hengtai is largely due to Madaloni. This Italian with a unique vision and a flamboyant personality is continuing to assist Lippi and participate in every detail of the national football work.

In Lippi's coaching team, Pezzotti is mainly responsible for intelligence collection, and through video analysis of the opponent's tactical play, he will give Lippi corresponding strategic suggestions.

Since he is away all the year round and seldom with the team, the exposure rate is not high, but the Italian can be described as Lippi's loyal assistant throughout his career. Since Lippi took charge of Juventus in 1994, Pezzotti has always been with him about.

In 2004, Lippi became the coach of the Italian national team, and Pezzotti also became the deputy coach of the national team, and won the 2006 World Cup for the Azzurri.

Now that Lippi has become the head coach of the national football team, he naturally brought this old man who has been with him for 22 years.

In addition to the two of them, there is an assistant coach Fabrizio De Rosso, two fitness coaches Claudio Gaudino, Massimo Neri, goalkeeper coach Michelangelo Lampla, Including Coty, Castellazzi, etc. from the rehabilitation and medical team...

All are veterans of the Lippi team, and it is generally believed that their rich experience and resumes will help them better improve their national football capabilities.

And now, the two most important assistant coaches Madaloni and Pezzotti are accompanying Pan Yi to watch the player training. What does this mean? ? ?
"According to the reliable information obtained by the reporter from the inside, there is only one purpose of Pan Yi's trip, which is to help the national football team prepare for the match against Qatar. According to another reliable source, Pan Yi actually served as an important member of the new national team management team. post."

"However, this position bypasses the Football Association's appointment process. It is more of a private invitation from Lippi, so it does not belong to the Football Association's official coaching team. It can be said that Pan Yi's appearance this time is not for the Football Association. It's for Dragon Country Football and the vast number of Chinese Football fans!"

"No matter what this position is or what kind of tasks Pan Yi is responsible for, the most important thing is that Pan Yi is finally here!"

The news fermented rapidly, not only arousing the attention of the whole people on the Internet, but also media reporters flocked to it.

Soon, all kinds of news and news were dug up.

Including Lippi went to England to meet with Pan Yi before officially taking over as the head coach of the national football team;
When the national football coaching staff began to work, Pan Yi also held a video conference with Lippi's Italian coaches to discuss some issues;
Pan Yi also participated in the formulation of the latest national football training list, including the recent selection of Lin Liangming, who performed well in the League One League, which was also suggested by Pan Yi...

Putting all the news together, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion:
Pan Yi really joined the national football coaching staff!

Many media commented on this, thinking that Pan Yi's entry into the national team will undoubtedly be an epoch-making event.

"Although Pan Yi is not the head coach, he can undoubtedly cheer up the hearts of all Long Guo fans, and can also give a boost to the national team players whose morale is low."

"Because the Football Association rejected Pan Yi's behavior a few years ago, there was an irreparable gap between Pan Yi and the Football Association. His continued rejection of the national team's invitation has become the biggest regret in the hearts of national football fans."

"But now, he has chosen to cooperate with Lippi's team. This is a way for him to save the country with curves. He still loves Dragon Country football and Dragon Country fans!"

"Whether it is from a technical and tactical perspective or from a personal influence, Pan Yi is the world's top coach in today's football. We believe he can bring some brand-new changes to Longguo football."

"Even if he is not the top leader, judging from Lippi's trust in him, Pan Yi will definitely play an important role in the national football coaching team. Look at Arteta's record after being guided by Pan Yi, we have reasons Have confidence in him."

"However, we must also take into account that the current environment of the national football team is indeed quite bad. If there is a slight mistake in the next game, there may be no theoretical chance to qualify. So we should not be too much on the results. Criticize this coaching team, let alone place unrealistic expectations on Pan Yi."

"In the past, we always said that the national team needs a famous coach, so we always called on Pan Yi to coach the Longguo national team. Now, our call has been partially realized. Lippi has become the head coach, and Pan Yi Also joined the coaching team. We should give this team of world-class coaches more confidence and patience!"

Not only the domestic media, many newspapers in Europe also reported the news.

The "Times" stated that Pan Yi really couldn't bear the loneliness, and finally wanted to participate in the front-line coaching work.

"The world's top football coach like Pan Yi should stay on the football field. Although it's not official or the head coach, it's better than staying in the office or traveling around the world, right?"

"If you can't see Pan Yi's unpredictable tactics on the field, it is really a pity for fans all over the world."

"Whether it's Scaloni's York City or Arteta's Chelsea, we can obviously see the shadow of Pan Yi behind their excellent results, but this time Pan Yi still has to face a more difficult challenge. "

"Pan Yi's tactical ability is unquestionable, but the level of Longguo football is not high, and the gap with the European league is very obvious. Apart from Lin Liangming and Wu Lei, whether other players can adapt to Pan Yi's requirements is a question. Quite a big question."

"Furthermore, the Dragon Kingdom is now ranked last in Group A of the Asian World Cup qualifiers, and the possibility of qualifying is very slim. Does he really have the ability to come back to life?"

"Having said that, maybe we should believe him, because he has always been a football coach who turned decay into magic!"

Facing such a storm of public opinion, the Long Guo Football Association, which was caught in the middle, seemed a little embarrassed.

Say something, it seems that it has nothing to do with you, Pan Yi is just Lippi's personal consultant;
Don't say anything, Pan Yi is indeed here to help the national football team. As the competent department of the national football team, wouldn't it be too rude not to say welcome?

Maybe the fans will think that the Football Association is still squeezing out Pan Yi...

In the end, the official website of the Dragon National Football Association announced a statement to the effect that "Mr. Lippi has all the powers over the coaching team, including hiring technical consultants, etc., and the Dragon National Football Association regards him as an official member of the national football coaching team." , to give the greatest degree of support.”

There is no mention of Pan Yi in a word, but every sentence is about Pan Yi.

This can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Pan Yi, and at the same time, it is also an explanation to fans across the country.

Pan Yi has come to help the national football team regardless of past suspicions. The football association must have an attitude!
And this "attitude" further confirmed the rumors that Pan Yi entered the national team.

The domestic public opinion was in a carnival. Everyone highly praised Pan Yi's move to join the national team. At the same time, they also believed that this was the most correct and popular decision made by the Dragon National Football Association in history.

For this national team, fans and public opinion generally treat it rationally.

On the one hand, it is an optimistic belief that as long as Lippi and Pan Yi are given time, they will definitely be able to bring a qualitative leap to the national football and Longguo football;

But at the same time, they all expressed disappointment that such a dream combination came too late, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to bring the national football back to life and lead the national football team to reverse the situation.

"The hope of the national football team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup is very slim, but we still support Lippi and Pan Yi and strive to play well in the remaining few games. No matter what the results are, we can accept them."

"As long as there is Pan Yi, we firmly believe that Longguo football will return to the World Cup in 2022!"
-
In the morning, before the training time, the comprehensive training area of ​​the Kunming National Football Training Center was already busy.

The field maintenance personnel are intensively carrying out the last field maintenance and inspection before training to ensure that the two fields required for this morning's training session can be put into use intact.

Pezzotti is leading the staff of the data analysis team, placing various instruments and equipment around the training ground, and arranging the training scene.

Antennas were erected on the sidelines, and the staff were using laptops to debug the equipment.

There are also Madaloni, De Rosso, Gaudino, Neri and others, who have arranged the venue on the training ground, and the entire coaching staff and working team are preparing for the training program in an orderly manner.

The players came to the locker room half an hour earlier than the scheduled training time. This is because each training session will start and end strictly according to the time. Players must complete the warm-up before training, so they must arrive in advance.

Immediately after the players arrived in the locker room, a staff member sent a set of training equipment, including vests, socks, sneakers and shorts.

The most familiar one is the sports vest, which has a small rectangular wearable device on it. After the player puts on the vest, the device is just attached to the spine of the back and will not affect the player's activities.

These devices can not only collect all the sports data of players on the field, but also transmit the collected data to the computer through the antenna on the side of the field, and then analyze and process the supporting software, so that the coaches can use the field data to inspect player performance.

With the rise of Pan Yi in European football in the past few years, the data analysis he admired has gradually been valued by people, and the equipment for collecting player movement data has gradually become the object of pursuit by major teams. Lippi, of course, will not let his team lack such high-tech products.

As for the national football team, except for players like Lin Liangming and Wu Lei who have already received a similar training model in Europe, most of them have a feeling of "Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden".

When they played in the Chinese Super League, their main focus was to do whatever they wanted, but I have never seen anything with technological content!
This is actually one of the reasons why Pan Yi is willing to join Lippi's team, that is, Lippi understands that such things can greatly help the team's training and competition, and does not require too much effort to communicate and exchange.

In addition, everyone in Lippi's team has seen the world and knows how to use such things to help, which makes it even more worry-free.

Otherwise, if they are all cooperating with some elm heads, Pan Yi might have to do everything by himself, so how can he be a leisurely technical consultant? ?

And now, this professional coaching team has obviously given the national football players a little Italian shock.

Rigorous, thoughtful, focused, and meticulous, this is everyone's first impression of the coaching staff.

And when all the players were neatly dressed and stood in two rows on the training ground, Ribbon led all the members of his coaching team to the front of the array.

They are all wearing the uniform red and white uniforms of the national team, but among them, the hot man is still so eye-catching and eye-catching.

Pan Yi!He officially appeared here today!

"Welcome to the new national team, I'm Lippi."

Silver Fox's faint words were spoken in Italian.

After the translation, more than 20 international players present applauded.

Then there is the self-introduction of each member of the coaching staff.

And when Pan Yi said in Chinese: "Hello everyone, I am Pan Yi", the atmosphere in the audience suddenly became more enthusiastic!
Some of the players are still very young, while some are veterans over [-] years old, but everyone looks at Pan Yi with strong conviction and even reliance.

There is a saying that is true, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

In the past few years, Pan Yi has been well-known, not only in the world football world, but also in the dragon country football world, he has been raised to a lofty status almost like a god.

Domestic players admired Pan Yi even more, especially when the national team was in a trough, everyone had an almost blind affirmation of Pan Yi.

As long as he comes to the national team, the revitalization of Longguo football is in sight, which is almost everyone's idea.

And now, Pan Yi really came.

This not only greatly boosted the confidence of the fans, but also greatly boosted the morale and fighting spirit of the players.

Even the best players in the world are eager to play under Pan Yi's command, let alone Long Guo players.

It doesn't matter if it's not the head coach. Do you still remember the original AC Milan?Pan Yi also only served as an assistant coach, and also made that Milan team the champion of the Champions League and the Triple Crown!
Today's York City, under the leadership of Pan Yi, who is the boss, is also invincible in the League One, pointing directly at the Championship.

Pan Yi's magic power is really too great, so big that he can inject his energy into a team without having the most direct power at all.

And Pan Yi just said this sentence gently, without saying anything, just patted the shoulders of the two "old friends" Lin Liangming and Wu Lei, and retreated to the coaching team.

After all, he is just a consultant now, just a supporting role, and of course he has to give the main stage to Lippi.

Pan Yi also read the excitement and expectations of the players from their eyes, but for him, such a "meeting ceremony" is not unfamiliar.

If most players in the world now have the opportunity to cooperate with Pan Yi, they will look like this!

Pan Yi felt more of a responsibility now.He never wanted to let anyone down, and it was the same this time.

"I believe that everyone has a very clear understanding of the current environment and situation of the national team. I will not say anything specific. What I want to tell you here is that we have no way out. We can only win this game and cannot accept any other result."

Lippi stared at everyone present very seriously, and he had to unify everyone's thinking.

"There is not much time left for us to prepare for the game, so in the next week, I need each of you to fully cooperate with me and the coaching staff. Every player must be [-]% dedicated, And I will determine the starting lineup based on the performance of this training period."

Slightly different from the previous international match days, there is only one game for this national team training camp, and that is the home game against Qatar.

After that, the next game will be in March next year.

If they can win, then the Longguo team can still retain a glimmer of hope of qualifying. During this long waiting period, the national football team can also obtain a relatively relaxed public opinion environment, and everyone's pressure will not be so great.

But if you lose or draw, there are no consequences.

Therefore, Lippi's first match in the national team is actually a decisive battle!
"I don't want to say too many extra words, and I don't like to say a lot of high-sounding polite words. I just want to tell everyone that you have no choice now."

"If you want to get rid of the infamy that has been carried on you for many years, if you want to reverse the current unfavorable situation of the national team, and even if you still want to participate in the World Cup, then you have only one choice..."

"That is to go all out! And believe in our coaching team. Pan Yi is the best coach in Longguo and the best coach in the world. I helped you hire him. He will also give you the best skills and tactics guide!"

Saying that, Lippi glanced at Pan Yi.

Pan Yi understood, and then the old man said: "We want to win, so we want to score goals and score more goals than our opponents. Therefore, the focus of our training these days will be offensive tactics..."

This is equivalent to Lippi directly asking Pan Yi to start the first tactical lesson.

And this is also a signal, that is, in this Longguo team, Pan Yi is not just holding the title of consultant.

For many things, especially tactics, just follow what Pan Yi said!
And why does Pan Yi emphasize offense?

That's because the current Qatar team's strength is really mediocre. In this game in the previous life, the Dragon Kingdom team had a lot of advantages on the scene, but unfortunately they couldn't score.

Pan Yi just wants to reverse this situation and focus on offense, otherwise it will be useless if he can't score goals!

But soon, the international players became a little confused.

After all, Pan Yi's requirement for players is to firmly engrave the positions of all teammates in his mind, which area the ball is in, what situation he encounters, where and how he should pass it, and when should the player pass it? Choose to run to meet, where to run...

For all these details, Pan Yi has very detailed tactical requirements.

It was the first time for the international players to come into contact with such a cumbersome tactical system requirement, and it was almost as if they were all overwhelmed.

However, Pan Yi did not get angry, but encouraged the players, saying that it would be very cumbersome to be exposed to such tactics for the first time, but after that, he gradually became familiar with it and sorted it out clearly. Its job, the effect will come out.

And Wu Lei and Lin Liangming, two players who have received this kind of tactical influence in Europe, have become the "teachers" of the international footballers, and they can be familiarized with them in actual training.

In fact, Pan Yi's tactical training is not the most complicated.

After all, it took less than a week from the national team training to playing Qatar.

In such a short period of time, it is obviously impossible to achieve rapid tactical progress, especially for the national football team, which has always been in a relatively backward area of ​​the world.

Therefore, Pan Yi only requires the players to have a basic concept in their heads, and to maximize the offensive effect according to the changes in the formation and the adjustment of personnel.

At other times, Lippi's coaching staff is more about adjusting the physical fitness and state of the players to adjust to the rhythm of the game.

As time passed day by day, soon, November 11th was approaching.

The key battle between the Dragon Kingdom team and Qatar at home is about to start! (end of this chapter)
